This book is based on 3,096 publications, which are cited in 109 pages of bibliography. It contains 72 pages of text and 92 pages of tables. The text is concise and gives up-to-date information about the doses of roentgen and nuclear rays, including their therapeutic uses.
The short chapters on the effect of radiation on man and animals make rewarding reading for any physician who looks for a brushing up in this field.
The clinical, hematological, and pathological results of all degrees of damage caused by nuclear and x-ray radiations are enumerated and described in sufficient detail without being repetitious.
The radiologist will quickly obtain up-to-date facts and figures from the intelligible tables, and he will find quite a repertory of the present world literature about the topic in the bibliography.

Foundry Coke Products From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Expedited Second Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
On December 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce ("Department") initiated the second five-year ("sunset") review of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke products ("foundry coke") from the People's Republic of China ("PRC") pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended ("Act"). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate, and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties,1 as well as a lack of response from respondent interested parties, the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of the antidumping duty order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1). As a result of the sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the "Final Results of Review" section of this notice.
1ABC Coke, Erie Coke, Tonawanda Coke, and Walker Coke (collectively, the "domestic interested parties").

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
Background Back to Top
On December 1, 2011, the Department initiated the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on foundry coke from the PRC, [2] pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2). The Department received a notice of intent to participate from the domestic interested parties within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as a manufacturer of a domestic like product in the United States.
We received a complete substantive response from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no responses from respondent interested parties. As a result, the Department conducted an expedited sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1).
Scope of the Order Back to Top
The product covered under the antidumping duty order is coke larger than 100 mm (4 inches) in maximum diameter and at least 50 percent of which is retained on a 100 mm (4 inch) sieve, of a kind used in foundries. The foundry coke products subject to the antidumping duty order were classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.10 (as of Jan 1, 2000) and are currently classifiable under subheading 2704.00.00.11 (as of July 1, 2000) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States ("HTSUS"). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the Order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received Back to Top
All issues raised in this review are addressed in the "Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Expedited Second Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Foundry Coke from the People's Republic of China" ("Decision Memorandum") from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated concurrently with and hereby adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memorandum include (1) the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the Order was to be revoked; and (2) the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail. Parties may find a complete discussion of all issues raised in the review and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum which is on file electronically via Import Administration's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Services System ("IA ACCESS"). Access to IA ACCESS is available in the Central Records Unit room 7046 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Decision Memorandum can be access directly on the Web at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/frn. The signed Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Final Results of Review Back to Top
We determine that revocation of the Order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the following weighted-average percentage margins:
|Weighted-average margin (percent)
|Shanxi Dajin International (Group) Co. Ltd
|Sinochem International Co. Ltd
|Minmetals Townlord Technology Co. Ltd
|CITIC Trading Company, Ltd
|PRC-Wide Rate
Notice Regarding Administrative Protective Order ("APO") Back to Top
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely notification of the return of destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
This sunset review and notice are in accordance with sections 751(c), 752, and 771(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 30, 2012.

If you just want to open a writing tool and get started writing without a lot of distracting bells and whistles, Simplenote may be just what you're looking for. A staple text editor for the iPad and iPhone for quite some time, for the first time Simplenote is available for Mac OS X.
The desktop version shares the simple, minimalist design and orientation of the iOS versions, and it's an ideal application for writing quick notes or tackling longer pieces of writing. In many ways it's a better alternative to Apple's far less modern TextEdit.
Like its iPad and iPhone counterparts, Simplenote for the Mac lives up to its name. The application launches quickly because it's lightweight with the most essential features for getting writing done.
I've always liked how Simplenote allows you to save and manage your documents in the application itself so that you don't have to have to save them as individual files in folders. Even the folder structure of Simplenote is simple. Instead of creating new folders, you add one or more tags to a document which puts it into a pseudo folder structure. Documents are moved around not by dragging and dropping them, but by changing the assigned tags.
There's a sidebar that lists all your tags, next to which you get a list of documents in that "folder". You can also click on All Notes to see all your documents. Right-click on a tag to rename or delete it, deleted documents get put into the application's trashcan where they can be retrieved or permanently deleted.
If you click on a tag and then click the new document plus "+" button, Simplenote will automatically assign the selected tag to that document. When you click on a tag, a list of all the documents assigned with that tag will be revealed.
Advanced Features
On the surface the above features are pretty much all you need to get started with Simplenote, but there's more tucked under its hood. Under the small ellipsis item in Simplenote's menu are six more features. First, there's a word and character document counter and a button for pinning a document to the top of the list structure.
If you want to share and collaborate on a document, add the email addresses of your collaborators as tags, and recipients will receive an email and link to the document on Simplenote's server. Simplenote sends the email automatically without you having to click a single button. Changes made to the document automatically get updated in your Simplenote desktop client, too.
Similarly, selecting Publish to Web… quickly shares a document. Simplenote provides you a shortened link that you can share. This simple text editor also has a history feature that I find easier to use than the same feature in Apple's TextEdit and Pages apps. When you click the History button, it brings up a version slider that scrolls back to the various saved changes that were made as you wrote the document. Click the Restore button to save the version you want, or copy and paste specific pieces of text you want to re-use.
Keeping In Sync
Another advantage of Simplenote is that your saved documents can be synced and accessed from iOS and Android devices, as well as your Simplenote web account.
Simplenote for the iPad and iPhone was also recently updated with a clean modern iOS 7 design. It almost feels like you're typing on paper. In addition to the same sharing and revision features in the desktop client, the app also allows you to share the entire contents of a document via email. Oddly, however, in Messages and Twitter, Simplenote also shares the entire content of a document, instead of a link to the document. I'm not sure if that's what the developers actually intended.
Documents on iOS devices can also be shared with other AirDrop users, who can even open the Simplenote document in another iOS text editor, such as Apple's iOS Notes, Day One, PlainText, or Byword.
Feature Wishlist
I've added Simplenote to my Mac's dock despite using MarsEdit for writing and sending articles to WordPress, and Scrivener for longer writing projects. Simplenote will be used for shorter pieces of writing and pages of notes that I find easier to use than launching Evernote. By the way, Scrivener documents can be synced with Simplenote, but it does require some setup. See the video tutorial on this Scrivener page.
There are several features that I hope will be added to Simplenote. For one I would like to be able to enlarge the text and change the font style, and though the app can be opened in full screen mode I would prefer a composition mode in which only the text editor window opens and hides everything else on the desktop. It might also be useful to include a link sharing feature to Twitter and Facebook.
Let us know what you think of Simplenote and what features you would like to see added.

Governor Cuomo has said that those with traditional values and those who oppose his disastrous NY SAFE Act have no place in New York state.
SCOPE President Stephen Aldstadt Jan. 18 called on Governor Cuomo to apologize to the people of New York state, to abandon his extremist left wing agenda and to represent all of the people of New York state as governor.
Is this really the kind of state you want to live in? A state ruled by the tyranny of the majority? Has the Governor crossed the line?
Be careful what you wish for. Statements like this are not only un-American; they have a tendency to backfire as today's majority can be tomorrow's minority. That is the beauty of a republic vs. a democracy. Our "Republic" has the rule of law that prevents, or at least is supposed to prevent, the tyranny of the majority, which is what you get in a democracy.
Our "Rule of Law" is the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. When that is being abused or is forgotten about you walk a slippery slope.
Newspaper editors across the state should be alarmed at the Governor's comments and join SCOPE in demanding an apology from Governor Cuomo.
Frederick Braband

As president pro tempore of the Senate since 2010, Inouye held one of just five positions created directly by the constitution, and was third in the line of succession to the presidency. Still, the loss of Inouye should not obscure the larger reality that we are entering an Asian-American moment in U.S. politics.
Forty four percent of all Democratic votes come from minorities, compared to just 11 percent of Republican votes. With the minority vote destined to play an ever-growing role in American politics, the "Southern strategy" -- the foundation of Republican dominance for the quarter century between 1968 and 1992 -- is dead.

If you have a non-premium (free) account on QRZ.com, you will only get the name and country of callsigns. We are looking at offering more callsign databases. Many free sources only contain US hams, which is of limited use for many of us.
If you experience a force close (crash) please press the "Report" button to submit it for analysis.
Also in addition report any issues or requests via email. Include device, android version, app version. Without relevant information, nothing will get fixed.
Developers wanting to contribute to the project: submit pull requests on github.
Well, I do not subscribe to QRZ I do not subscribe to QRZ so I can not use all of it. I have held an amateur radio license since around 1991. I have yet to be able to afford any of the equipment. I was able to repair an ancient 2 meter radio back in the late 1990's but it kept having trouble and I was spending more time fixing than talking. Come 2000 it died and I have had no equipment since. I do not even know why I renewed again. I guess its just a dream.
Broken // FIXED!! EDIT: Fixed!! Nice little app again, and the only one that polls N0NBH's data on the Android platform that I'm aware of. Happy to have it back! // Was a nice little app. N0NBH moved servers a bit ago, and the app seems to have not followed that move. All solar data points come through as null. Emails to the Dev were bounced back. Assuming it's been abandoned.
Well done This app never fails, well rarely fails. It has most of the information any ham would want except for the MUF data set, that would be a great addition for this app.
Decent but ugly Decent app, although the UI looks like something from the days of Froyo. Perhaps consider adding hamqth for the call sign lookups instead of qrz.
No Solar Conditions The app stopped working. It no longer reports solar conditions.
This works on my motorola milestone. I have 2.1 and it has excellent features. I like call sign lookup and the grid info. And thank you for the app.
What's New
Fix issue on solar screen. I can only fix the bugs when you press the "Report" button. See: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-feedback-for-android.html

alright friends, if you are reading this it means my alarm went off (or i didn't trust myself enough to go to sleep) and we made our flight. in a few short hours (although i'm sure it will feel endless while trapped on the plane with a 26.4 pound toddler on my lap) we will be on the east coast where i hear it is currently just about 60 degrees – so glad i spent so much energy freaking out about the cold.
i'm thinking that when i get back from thanksgiving i might start this training program. i mean the name sorta says it all – it sounds tailor made for me. and while i can't imagine myself running – a lot of my favorite people run so it can't be all bad. also, i like to think of myself running along the path at the beach. if ABN can surf, i can run.
you'll notice i didn't even think about starting while in westport – after all that would require an extra pair of shoes.
also, i'm feeling like the blogosphere and pinterest are sorta exploding xmas. don't get me wrong – i like white lights, egg nog and a carol or two* just like every other jewish girl – but i think i'm feeling a bit left out. so many craft projects and baked goodies that i don't totally get.
Source: marthastewart.com via Jill on Pinterest
and don't even get me started on some of the fabulous holiday cards. i think, in addition to the running (i'm sorry that just sounds too funny), once i come back i will start a weekly post highlighting some of our own jew-y traditions. of course this will be after EBN makes her first batch of fruitcake this weekend. i never said we were not a complicated family. stay tuned…

Cooperation in an Infinite-Horizon Centipede Game
David A. Malueg
University of California Riverside
October 23, 2006
An infinite-horizon perfect-information "centipede" game is studied. The unique subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium (SPNE) in pure strategies has each player choose, at each opportunity, to terminate the game. In contrast, mixed strategies can yield equilibrium cooperation described as follows: for all but finitely many periods players randomize between terminating and continuing the game. These continuation probabilities are explicitly calculated. If both players' payoff functions are unbounded, then there exist SPNE exhibiting such cooperation. Conditions are also derived under which such cooperation does not arise.

"I loved the way the picture took up the whole card with cheerful overprinting of text. In combination with the animated expressions on my grandsons' faces, the text gave the perfect enthusiastic greeting."
"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"The combination of the black card with Tiny Prints' text, paper, and edge recommendations added to the elegance of this card. Kept it simple with 1 photo on the front, and 1 small photo on the back, as to not overshadow the beautiful card design. Extremely pleased with the quality, design, and customization."
"I used this card for a Happy New Year card with a black and white photo. Used the Pearl White Shimmer paper and the results were exceptional. Very happy with the final product!"

I think that some things are just meant to be. For example when I think of all the things that had to happen in order for me to meet my soulmate.. I had to choose to join Twitter, choose to go to a certain university, choose to talk to certain people, choose to meet up with them, choose to let go of other people in my life who didn't like this person, choose to spend more time with them, and ultimately choose to take things from a friendship to something more than that. If even one of those things didn't happen then things would be so different. Im not sure this is exactly what you would call 'destiny' though, but pretty close.

Philips: More Pain Before Gain
At last, Dutch industrial icon Philips is doing what it should have done ages ago. It's addressing its operational issues.
It looks like the new CEO, Frans van Houten, means business. Having stepped into the shoes of his predecessor Gerard Kleisterlee only in April this year, he's already shaking up the business.
His opening remark in yesterday's conference call spoke volumes: "It has been an eventful three months."
Mr. van Houten intends to transform the industrial company into a leaner and more focused organization, with customers' demands at the top of his agenda.
The new management structure, which includes members who have been below board level and have direct contact with Philips' end markets, is a first step to achieve this target.
The €500 million cost cutting program will–no doubt–hurt as it's bound to lead to job losses. But if it results in less bureaucracy and flatter structures it will help the Dutch company to become more resilient against the ups and downs of the economy and more flexible to serve its customers.
Some analysts wonder if Mr. van Houten is too late with his measures. But the general consensus seems to be: Better late than never.
Also, Mr. van Houten has restored Philips' credibility with the financial markets. The company was hit hard after last month's profit warning. But he's set mid-term goals, which most analysts believe are realistic.
Philips failed to deliver too often in the past. Despite a rare net loss–the first in more than two years–caused by impairment charges, investors appreciated Mr. van Houten's approach.
Philips' guidance is useful, analysts at Credit Suisse said, while those at RBS said that downside risk is limited from here.
Mr. van Houten must be breathing a sigh of relief. The shares plummeted 30% in the last twelve months. Monday, Philips opened 2.5% higher before getting caught by the overall downward trend in Monday's trading session.
Analysts reckon Mr. van Houten's strategy will give Philips a chance to claw back its losses. And the €2 billion share buy-back won't hurt either.

GEORGE Washington's death on Dec 14, 1799, ended a tumultuous century in the history of the United States.
With a finality that equaled the signing of the Declaration of Independence or Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown, the church bells tolling Washington's death rang out the order of things as they had been for almost two centuries.
Washington's Last Illness
Although large and robust, Washington had numerous illnesses during his life, including bouts with smallpox and pneumonia, recurrent diarrhea, a large thigh abscess, and many dental problems.1 His final illness was mercifully short. After riding about his plantation in the freezing rain on Thursday, Dec 12, he contracted an upper respiratory tract infection with hoarseness developing on the following day. On Friday he went outdoors for a short time and in the evening read the newspapers aloud to his wife. Sometime between 2 and 3 AM on Saturday, the 14th, he awakened

I seriously want to scream out loud saying that something is missing. And while I am not entirely sure what the heck is missing, I definitely feel it as I sit here, blogging from my laptop, hearing Linkin Park song that goes "trying to catch up, mother F###" Well, in no way I am promoting foul words in my blog but that's how the song goes...anyway, it was at this time that I sit down and ponder about some of the things that happened in 2010.
I believe 2010 is a year that I learn a lot, about life and how to endure some of the miserable parts of it, when things don't work as you intend for them to...how to stay focus, and be stronger.
Somehow, even as I sit here wondering what's next, I felt that something is missing...

I have a flickr account, I have a key, I have a shared secret. I want to create a simple photo gallery.
The plugin asks for the key, and the secret, I copy them in, I am 100% certain I have it right. I get the error "Invalid auth token" which makes no sense to me.
Also, flickr is asking for a callback url. I am not sure what to give it. Does this plugin create a gallery? If so, where?

I don't know about you, but I am so glad that this record-hot summer is has finally winded to a close. Okay, sure the weather is nice and the living's easy – but honestly, is the weather really that nice? And is the living really that easy? With 100 degree temperatures and kids all over the house, it is nice to see a return to moderate climates and kid's with backpacks lining up for the bus.
Well now we can finally "chill-out" because summer has ended, the kids are back at school, the MLB pennant race is heating up and our favorite football teams are back in action. And I do mean "chill out" quite literally – better get used to brisk evenings and chilly mornings! It's time to ditch those board-shorts, maxi-dresses and tank-tops and get ready to stay warm.
Many of the most comfortable and stylish summer duds are made from lightweight, easily damaged material. The best way to keep clothes looking great through long periods without use is having the sturdiest storage possible. Despite popular belief, many summer-fashions carry over from year to year, so avoid having to re-buy your favorite blouse or shorts next summer by storing them safely and securely during the off-season.
Additionally, one way to avoid making spring cleaning a huge ordeal (trust me, future-you does not want to spend all of spring cleaning out the closets, basement and the attic) is to keep the winter messiness in check. It may seem easier at first to just stash your clothes in the upper shelves of your closet or in a big cardboard box in the attic, but come spring you will wish you did a better job organizing – the clean up is huge and often clothes get ruined being stored in this manner.
There are various ways to keep the clutter to a minimum during the fall months. In my next post I will go into greater detail about specific ways you can cut down on the mess that always seems to pile up during the fall and winter, as well as ways to keep your clothes looking great.
Did you look great this Summer? Make sure your clothes stay looking great until next year. Visit our Summer Clothes Storage Guide.

I'm using a WordPress 2.7.1 version and I've been holding back from upgrading because of some pending issues with Unicode (for those of you familiar with WordPress's Unicode issue: this blog was started back in the days of WP Ver 1.6 or so, the MySQL charset and pagination issues are quite complex) and I came across the below problem yesterday:
Whenever I open up an existing post and hit the "update post" button, a window pops up with the below details:
Title: Authentication Required
Text: The server (our server domain, e.g. DOMAIN.COM) at Magic requires a username and password.
Entires: User Name: ____________________ Password: ____________
Buttons: Log In, Cancel
Screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yonghokim/3772683834/
I attempted entering dummy ID and password and the pop up will go away for 0.5 sec and then come back again. I suspect this is some form of trojan so I didn't enter our real password.
When I press cancel, I am sent to /blog/wp-admin/post.php with a blank screen with a "Access Denied" message (Screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yonghokim/3772683860/ )
This popup is triggered when I hit the "update post" or "update page" button. The fact of whether contents of the textarea actually changed or not doesn't matter - clicking the "update page" triggers the popup. It doesn't happen when I post a new post. I haven't seen the popup in other areas of the backend or frontend.
My symptom is similar to http://wordpress.org/support/topic/247792 except I can seemingly do all tasks - logging in, posting, etc - except editing.
More information about this WordPress install:
I use the below plugins:
Akismet 2.2.6
Attachment Manager 2.0.2
Audio player 1.2.3
Breadcrumb 0.5.1
Breadcrumb Navigation XT 1.7
CountPosts 2
Disable Revisions and Autosave
Flickr Photo Album 1.1
One Click Plugin Updater 2.4.13
Search Pages 2.3
TanTanNoodles Simple Spam Filter 0.6.2
WordPress.com Stats 1.5
Wordpress Automatic Upgrade 1.2.5
WordPress Database Backup 2.2.2
I did a major cleanup of plugins that kept obstructing the admin area with their upgrade notices, even when they were inactive plugins. I deleted a bunch of folders that belonged with the plugins; one of them was the XDRS(sp?) OpenID service framework.
I run this WordPress install on a VPS, and there are a couple other domains running WordPress and MediaWiki hosted along. One of the other WordPress installations was hacked on October of 2008, (the hacker deleted a month worth of postings and left a notice saying "This website was hacked by Daazle(sp?)" but I changed the admin password and haven't noticed any strange behavior since then.
I am hiding the URLs out of concern that this symptom may be the result of a scripted attack, and by giving out the affected website I may be notifying that the attack was successful, inviting for further exploits on the server.
Any thoughts on why this could be or how to fix? I'm considering upgrading to WP 2.8.2 to see if this will overwrite my install of any compromised PHP files.

For 880 Mesa State College students, Saturday marked the end of one hard journey and the start of another, as they move into an uncertain world with fewer jobs. But the new graduates say they're still hopeful for the future and determined to make it.
It was a day of pomp, circumstance, and a lot of excitement for hundreds of Mesa State students and their families as they celebrated the culmination of four years of hard work.
"It feels great to be finally done," said Scott Hall, a Mesa State grad. "It feels like we finally accomplished something."
"It was awesome," said Maegan Kenagy, a Mesa State grad. "I just accomplished so much -- very awesome."
But even on this bright, sunny day no one could deny there weren't some shadows of doubt cast, thinking about what lies ahead.
"I know we're in a terrible downturn, I said it was the worst recession since the Great Depression, " said Governor Bill Ritter. "But having said that, there's things about it that can be a bit liberating."
As Governor Ritter made his keynote address during the ceremony, he told the graduates how economic downturns test the spirit --
"We know that along the way you're gonna face challenges, face adversity," said Ritter. "And having courage is a really important quality to see it through."
-- But that they ultimately leave people stronger and better off in life when things do turn around.
"For my purposes, we know we're gonna come out of this and these people are all poised to do very well when we do," said Ritter.
Kenagy, who is currently applying to be a teacher, says she knows the road ahead won't be easy.
"It's kind of hard just because it's uncertain of where I may be or where I'm going," said Kenagy.
But she adds not even the recession can kill her hope and drive.
"I'm hopeful in the job prospects and teaching is a really big area, so I think I will be successful wherever I go," said Kenagy.
Other grads like Hall, who is a kinesiology major, say the recession gives them the chance to look forward to a different path on the road to a career.
"The job search is definitely hard but luckily I'll be continuing my education," said Hall. "I'lll be applying to grad school and furthering that education."
But no matter what the future looks like, officials say just getting to Graduation Day is the first big step in making a successful one.
"Higher education is really the way you can change your station in life," said Ritter.
11 News would like to congratulate all 2009 Mesa State College Graduates and wish them the best of luck as they move on into the future.

Who is Anik Singal?
My name is Anik, 24 years old as I write this (about to turn 25) and I'm starting this site for a very specific reason. Some of you may be familiar with me from my work with Affiliate Classroom.
In the last few years I started a business while in college and have since grown it into a multi-million dollar web based business.
But THIS site (IwillFight.com) is not about building a business or making money, sure that's a part of "improving your life," but this site is about fighting for a better life and it includes anything from quitting soda (one of my goals) to getting promotions at your job to even things bigger!
What I've learned in the last few years having a chance to meet THOUSANDS of people, many of whom have been incredibly successful is that there truly is a big difference between the successful and the "not so successfulls." The difference always seems to come back to the "fight" word. The successful in this world are true fighters…
> They're persistent
> Refuse to give up
> Fail many times and get right back up
> Have a positive attitude
> Never quit, etc…
These are the qualities I hope to continue building in myself and I thought "why not bring you for the ride too."
If you want to get a hold of me, you can do so at leadfighter AT gmail.com. Please bare with me if I don't respond in time, I get over 300 e-mails a day and just get overwhelmed!
Why I Started This Site:
About 6 years ago I was sitting in a friend's dorm room in college (still a freshman in college) and I was in quite a bit of pain (I have Crohn's Disease), well I was still laughing, smiling and making jokes – all this while we were studying for a mid-term the next morning.
Seeing me in pain, my friends kept insisting that I go to bed or at least get some rest and meds. They were saying to skip the exam and get an extension, go home and see the doctor. But, for me, this was "every day life" and nothing new so I was used to it – I wasn't going to start changing plans because of it.
I kept telling them that I was fine (I really was, I would always know if anything got serious), kept making jokes and kept studying.
One of my friends asked me a question – that one question led to the conception of this site a few months later. The question was…
"How do you do this? How do you go through everything you're going through and still keep a smile on your face and keep moving forward?"
(( By the way, I forgot to mention that I had already missed a semester of college and had been through a series of surgeries, so all my friends knew that I was not in the best of conditions. ))
That question really got me thinking and I really had no response! I remember thinking to myself, "You know what? My life DOES suck, why the heck does this not bother me more?" After thinking about it some, the only answer I had for him was…
"I guess I'm just a fighter…"
Well it was THAT answer that led me to learning a lot about myself. I learned that what I had initially thought of as "stubborn" and "arrogant" was actually not that at all! It was the "fighter" in me who refused to give up.
It was a few months later that I learned what internet marketing was and while thinking about what site to launch, I decided I wanted to do something where I brought together people who are having hardships so that they can come together and help each other FIGHT through them.
I thought of the domain, www.IwillFIGHT.com and it made me laugh, I thought it was catchy, memorable and I LOVED saying it over and over.
This was the SECOND domain name I ever bought in my life (I now own well over 600), I am very proud that I have finally been able to launch this site.
What Do I Want From This Site?
I'm not 100% sure yet to be honest, the only thing I can say is "let's build this site together" and YOU tell me how I can help you. For now, I want to share my experiences with you and I also want to launch a social community that will allow us to help each other.
I plan on running small *fun* competitions to help us all grow together faster.
My main goal is that everyone here should start to think like a fighter, make a goal and then go at it like a crazy person! Quitting or giving up should become a thought of the past!
My History – What Are Some of The Battles I've Fought…
I've fought a range of battles, to some they may be impressive, but to others it may be nothing compared to their own. I really want to hear about your own personal battles, please e-mail them to me! firstname.lastname@example.com.
The first time in my life that I was really forced to start fighting was when I was 12 years old and began getting very ill. I was having extreme stomach pains, could not eat and it got so bad that I had to be pulled from school and go into home schooling.
I was getting picked and probed at every single day with all sorts of new tests and exams, including nuclear medicine and everything else under the sun. However, I kept getting worse and worse to a point of being of serious concern to everyone. I went through this for over 2 months where I was spending every day at some new medical facility getting tested.
Finally after a series of grueling tests I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. I had thought that "that" was a hard fight itself, that was until a few years later!
Since then Crohn's has had years where it's been dormant and left me alone, but far many more years where it has completely ravaged and almost killed me. To date I've had 9 surgeries in the last 7 years, one of which was a life-saving surgery that took over 7 hours.
Just 2 years ago, my Crohn's got out of hand and I ended up losing so much blood that I passed out right into a wall, that event led to me being hospitalized for 6 weeks, 3 of which I spent in the ICU after almost going into shock from blood loss.
I had gotten to the point where I had to almost learn to walk again, just getting up from the bed would spike my heart rate to dangerous levels.
Anyways, long story short on the health side, I've had major problems, spent weeks in the ICU, had many surgeries – but through this entire time, I FOUGHT. I refused to give up. I specifically remember one day about 2 years ago when I was bleeding profusely and in tons of pain in the ICU and when my nurse came rushing in to help me, I was making jokes and passing lines at her I remember her saying "In the last 5 years I've been doing this, I've never seen anyone with your attitude…"
I'm 100% convinced that if it was not for my fighting mentality, I would NOT be alive today. I would have never made it. It's my attitude, hope and positive thoughts combined with my fighter mentality that not only kept me alive but let me recover so quickly back to living my normal life.
Is Health The Only Battle I've Fought?
I like to think not. I think "once a fighter, always a fighter" – I look at every situation through the eyes of a fighter. My on-going joke with my family is that to get me to do anything, all they have to tell me is that I "can't" do it or don't know how to do it. Just that statement is typically taken as a challenge by my brain and off I go!
Some of other battles include:
–> My sophomore year in high school I tried out for the high school tennis team and was laughed at. I was on the FIRST list of players to get cut. I didn't even make it in the top 30. Needless to say I was very distraught. Many would quit, but I refused to. I started taking lessons and playing up to 4 hours a day.
Exactly one year later (my junior year) I returned to try out again and was ranked #4 on the team and was awarded the Most Improved Player that year.
–> Started a business in my dorm room that is a multi-million dollar, international business today – I was told over and over that I couldn't do this. I have no businessmen in my family so had to do it on my own. However, fast forward 3 years after starting my business and I've achieved 100% growth every year, have people on my team from across the world and thousands of customers.
I'm not saying any of the above to brag or boast – but I want to give you an idea of the types of battles I've fought so you better understand where I'm coming from.
What Do I Want You To Do?
I want you to participate in our 30 day challenges and awaken the fighter within you. I want you to change your life 30 days at a time and use this community here to support you through it. Remember, only you can control your life and if you're sitting around moping or depressed, well need I say more? Your life reflects that attitude.
Get up, stand straight, smile and push back…

News 12 at six o'clock, December 3, 2007
Augusta, GA---This year's sales tax collection is up by over four million dollars. News 12 is taking a closer look at what's going to come of all that money. "I'm retired so I can work my hours free as a breeze." Sue Claxton is one of many opting to spend her free time shopping. Like Sue, Denise Dungee shops at least once a week, and for good reason she says. "To catch the good sales, walk, exercise, and just to get out."
The results...special purpose sales tax money coming in faster than expected....ahead by 4.5 million dollars. Store managers say keeping the racks stocked is getting to be a challenge, "Oh without a question, we had the day after Thanksgiving, we saw positive growth from last year and continued."
City financial analyst Tim Schroer says, "We have $160 million dollars worth of projects that the board has approved so all this means is that projects can move ahead faster." A new library is one of those projects. 77, 000 people come in and out of the library each year, but there's one problem.
"It's backed up again, and I say are you kidding," says Mashell Fashion, assistant library director.
For months, the library has been battling plumbing issues. Managers are now taking matters into their own hands. "Right, we in effect check-out the bathroom. Hey if somebody doesn't have a library card they can't use the restroom."
Besides the plumbing...not enough space...the library is having to put books upstairs, and the books are becoming a feast for the rodents. The library director says it's time for a new place."
"I'm frankly embarrassed when people come from other cities... they come in and they look around and say where is the main library? We say...This is it."
No matter how you read into the numbers more sales tax dollars mean a win-win for both local stores and the city at large.

- Officer Dave McCranie with the Tallahassee Police Department says that the City of Tallahassee does not have plans to change Trick or Treat to Saturday.
- The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office announces the return of its annual "Safe Halloween Trick or Treat Carnival." This event was started to provide a safe environment for our children to have a good time, without them having to walk the streets, door to door, seeking treats. Over the past couple of years, funds have been low and we could not provide this environment for our community. Over 5,000 children attended this event in 2007 and we are expecting this number to double for this year. Our children are our future and it is up to us to ensure their safety and positive interactions. The event is scheduled for October 30, 2010 from 5:00 PM until 9:00 PM. At the Lowndes County Civic Center (Fair Grounds) on U.S. Hwy. 84 East.
Sheriff Prine and his staff have agreed that this year all proceeds will be given to the Lowndes Drug Action Council (LODAC). Their agency offers drug prevention, education and treatment for children and their parents. Most of their referrals come through the school system; unfortunately, some are received through the courts. They offer many programs for the children of our community, namely, the Expulsion Reversal Program, a program designed to help children, that have been expelled from school, to re-enter the school system; the Stolen Moment Program, an anti-theft program designed to educate and rehabilitate juvenile theft offenders; and the CART program, which stands for Creating a Responsible Thinker. LODAC is a vital part of this community and any help given to them is also help given to the community.
- WCTV is holding a "Meet and Treat" day on Saturday, Oct. 30th from 9AM to 2PM. Come out to our studio on Halstead Boulevard and meet your favorite WCTV Personality!

SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan -Soldiers from the 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade working at the Operational Coordination Center District in Spin Boldak, Afghanistan can communicate with loved ones in the United States at no cost-thanks to the newly installed morale satellite program.
The satellite, known as the Cheetah system, is an auto-acquiring portable satellite receiver that provides high-speed data communications for internet and phone connections for Soldiers at remote operating bases.
The system is meant to support troops with no other means of morale, welfare and recreation connectivity, said Master Sgt. Glynn Honts, noncommissioned officer in charge of the Combined Joint Communications office at Regional Command-South, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.
Honts said the system is being used at small combat outposts that have less than 100 U.S. servicemembers.
There are more than 100 systems already in place throughout Afghanistan. Honts has distributed 17 additional systems and will deliver seven more this summer as new units set up locations.
The telephone calls home are free and internet connection is fast, said Honts, the 22-year veteran. He added that the portable system is user friendly; it can be installed within 30 minutes and it runs off of a generator or a Humvee battery.
"Its best feature is that it self-acquires," said Honts. "To be able to find a satellite 22,236 miles out in space is no easy task, manually. This system is able to find that one specific satellite by itself. It takes a burden off of the operator as well as speeding up the process of getting connected. It is also a lot faster than any government computer."
With six new laptops and two telephones installed at the OCCD providing faster links to the homefront, Soldiers can maintain emotional connections with family and friends through video teleconferencing, social networking sites and conversations.
Honts, a Dayton, Ohio, native said maintaining the bond back home lifts Soldiers' spirits and provides a twofold benefit while they carry out their missions.
"When morale is high, Soldiers do their jobs with a sense of ease and the qualities of their efforts are better," he said. "These happy Soldiers continually surprise and exceed their leadership's expectations. Communication amongst the team is enhanced."
While there may only be a couple dozen Soldiers working from the OCCD at one time, the days and nights spent there has improved, according to one Soldier who called home after returning to the center.
"It's a great way to call home to the states," said Staff Sgt. Jeremiah Berger, Operations NCO, Alpha Troop, 1st Squadron, 38th Cavalry Regiment, 525th BfSB. "I don't have to spend money like I do when I have to use my cell phone, and it makes being out here better."

I must comment here and will probably be refuted, but, in my many
years of collecting, polishing and setting turquoise, I have found it
nearly impossible to identify by examining in person, much less by
pictures, most turquoise. Many "experts" will state positively that
the stone in question is from such and such mine, and while most
mines do have some characteristics in general, many mines have a wide
variety of stones coming from the same vein.
While the identity of the stones you are setting is not critical,
you should be wary of anyone positively identifying from pictures.
Since I live and work in New Mexico and have an ongoing love affair
with turquoise, I would be interested in seeing some pics if you
would care to email me some.

ANAHEIM -- With the Pacific Division title at stake, no one is trying to portray Wednesday night's showdown between the Sharks and Anaheim Ducks as just one of 82 regular season contests.
"I don't think you treat it just like any other game," Sharks defenseman Justin Braun said after the morning skate. "We've got three more left before playoffs. You have to have that playoff mentality, going hard every shift."
But at the same time, players and coaches say they aren't worried about getting too emotionally fired up for a game between teams that can get pretty heated when there's less on the line.
"We have an experienced hockey club. A lot of guys have played in a lot of big, big games," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "The repercussions for a win or a loss aren't as dramatic as maybe playing in a Game 7 or a gold medal game or the Stanley Cup Finals. It's a regular season game. We understand what's at stake, but I don't think they'll be over-jacked. Not at all."
The Sharks will have Antti Niemi in goal with the Ducks announcing on their Twitter account that rookie John Gibson will be getting his second NHL start.
San Jose trails Anaheim by three points in the Pacific Division standings with both teams having two games left to play after this one. A Ducks victory tonight relegates San Jose to second place and a first-round matchup with the Los Angeles Kings while the Sharks would keep their title hopes alive with a regulation win.
The Sharks are 3-1 against Anaheim this season, but the 6-3 loss came in San Jose's only previous appearance at the Honda Center, where the Sharks have lost four of the last five times.
Sharks captain Joe Thornton didn't challenge the suggestion this would be as close to a playoff-like atmosphere as possible.
"Even Anaheim coming into our building within the last couple weeks was a playoff-type atmosphere," said Thornton, referring to San Jose's 3-2 win on March 20. "They always seem to be good games against these guys. They're always ready to play against us and we're always ready to play against them. It should be no different tonight."
McLellan suggested strongly Tuesday that Bracken Kearns, called up Tuesday from Worcester, would find a place in the lineup against Anaheim and, based on the morning skate, it appeared that was on the third line with James Sheppard and Tommy Wingels. With Tyler Kennedy, Andrew Desjardins and Mike Brown on the fourth line, it appeared Marty Havlat would be the player Kearns replaces.
"All the coaches lie and say it's about how we're playing down the stretch," Boudreau said, "but I would venture to guess they all know what's on the line tonight. You don't play seven months and not want to be the best. Play a game of Monopoly with these players and they'll cheat to win.
"It's in our blood that you want them playing their best," he said, "but at the same time, if you play your worst and you win, you're going to be happy in the room tonight."
Injured Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler is close to being game ready and Boudreau said it would be a game-time decision if he plays against the Sharks.

Questions have been asked in a stunned community and further afield about the merits of various websites, with one in particular website, ask.fm, coming in for a lot of criticism as a result of the bullying that Ciara was subjected to.
Ciara's father Jonathan Pugsley appealed to young people to communicate with each other and their parents.
He said he wants young people to know that taking your own life "is not the right thing to do."
"Just don't do this, your family and your friends need you," he added, saying that he wants Ciara's unnecessary death to make young people and parents aware of cyber bullying.
He said he never thought his bubbly, chatty, confident daughter could be "vulnerable" to online bullying and he asked young friends to communicate "face to face" with each other.
Gardai (police) are investigating some of the last posts to Ciara on ask.fm. They are seeking to find the identities of some of the anonymous writers.
A friend of Ciara's family, Eugene O'Neill, described the cyber-bullying as "dangerous" and "a lethal weapon."
Speaking at Ciara's funeral Mass, O'Neill stressed Ciara "did not want to die ... she was driven to it. She was driven to it by this appalling evil that has invaded our community. Internet bullying attacks our young most vulnerable people 24-7. They cannot get away from it."

Cruel Dog Owner
A LETTERKENNY farmer has been banned from owning a dog for two years after he was convicted of "appalling" animal cruelty.
Leslie Stewart pled guilty to the cruelty of a dog at his farm on September 5, 2011.
ISPCA inspector Kevin McGinley told the court he was alerted to the health of the dog by a concerned member of the public and he attended the farm with dog warden Jackie Murphy.
They located the dog in a laneway dragging its back legs along the ground. The dog was unable to walk on all fours.
There was large open wounds on the animal's legs with "an offensive smell" emanating from the sores.
McGinley contacted the owner who arrived at the site and told him the dog had been in that condition for "four to six months" after it was stood on by a horse.
When asked why he did not contact a vet the court heard he stated, "What's the point?"
McGinley said he seized the dog which later had to be humanely put down because of the injuries.
The court heard Stewart has a previous conviction for a similar offense.
Solicitor Kieran O'Gorman said his 64-year-old client lived alone on his farm and didn't want to put the dog down after it got injured but realizes it should have been.
Judge Paul Kelly viewed pictures of the injured dog and said it was "appalling."
He fined Stewart €300 with €151.48 in costs and banned him from owning a dog for two years.

Crime Doesn't Pay
THREE robbers were unable to enjoy the fruits of their crime as the proceeds of a West Clare aggravated burglary were used to pay for their getaway taxi.
Three criminals, who targeted an 82-year-old woman, her son and daughter in Kilmurry McMahon, made their way to the house in a taxi and called another cab to escape.
Their escapade ended, however, on the outskirts of Ennis when, after paying their €45 taxi fare – just €5 short of the proceeds of their crime, they were apprehended by Gardai.
The family was subjected to what Gardai described as "an awful ordeal" when three masked individuals set upon their house on a recent Friday evening.
The culprits smashed the family's front window before conducting the robbery from outside of the house by threatening and demanding money from the "severely traumatized" family.
When one of the occupants attempted to come out the window he was struck on the head with an implement, but Gardai confirmed that he was not badly injured as a result.
A small amount of money, believed to have been €50, was handed over to the criminals, who left on foot before getting into a taxi. The male occupant of the house raised the alarm by going to a neighbor's house and the Gardai were called.
A 19-year-old, 18-year-old and a juvenile aged 16 were arrested on foot of information received by witnesses.
