Representative Reichert Circulates Dear Colleague Letter to New NCI Director
Representative Dave Reichert (R-WA), a longtime champion of medical research funding, circulated a Dear Colleague letter for Members of the House of Representatives to send to the new National Cancer Institute (NCI) Director, Dr. Harold Varmus. This letter asked the Director to consider increasing the Institute's commitment to organ-specific research at the NCI through a targeted research program for the deadliest cancers. Eighteen bi-partisan Representatives signed onto the letter including Members of the House Appropriations and Energy & Commerce Committees. To view a copy of the final letter, please click here. Below is a list of those who signed-on.
Senate Passes Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act
On August 5th, 2010 the US Senate passed S 1674, the Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act. The Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act (S 1674/HR 2866) changes current Supplemental Security Income (SSI) eligibility requirements so that research compensation (up to $2,000) for participation in a clinical drug study for a rare disease or condition is no longer considered income for determining SSI eligibility.
Current rules regarding eligibility for SSI prevent many people with rare diseases who receive SSI from participating in clinical trials. The inability of SSI beneficiaries to accept research compensation for participation in a clinical trial has been shown to be a significant deterrence to research participation.
It's now up to the House to take action on this important bill before Members leave in October to campaign in preparation for the November elections. We need myeloma advocates to contact their House Members and ask him/her to cosponsor the Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act. Visit www.advocacy.myeloma.org to send an e-mail on this important bill.
Can You Spare 5 Minutes for Blood Cancer Awareness Month?
IMF is asking every advocate to spend 5 minutes to write their U.S. Representative and urge him or her to co-sponsor H Res 1433. This resolution recognizes September 2010 as Blood Cancer Awareness Month and highlights the impact blood cancers have in the United States each year and encourages greater support for blood cancer research and education.
In order for the legislation to be considered by the House of Representatives, 100 Members of Congress must first co-sponsor the resolution. Currently, 40 more signatures are needed to meet this goal! It will take just minutes to contact your Representative and help ensure that this important resolution is introduced. Please visit the Advocacy Action Center at www.advocacy.myeloma.org to write your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to support Blood Cancer Awareness Month by co-sponsoring H Res 1433.
Are You a Member of the Myeloma Action Network?
Want to stay informed about IMF's advocacy activities? All you need to do is to join the Myeloma Action Network at www.advocacy.myeloma.org and you will automatically receive e-mail advocacy alerts from the IMF. To learn more about health care reform and other important advocacy issues that impact the myeloma community, please visit the IMF advocacy page at www.myeloma.org.

Motorola Moto G (2014)Compare8.5 reviewWhile most of the buzz has been for its brother the new Moto X, there is officially a new Moto G as well. Of course, there isn't exactly all that much that is new about the device, as it shares quite a bit in common with last year's Moto G. The major difference this year is in the design of the device, while the internals are only a modest update overall compared to last year's Moto G. On the outside, the changes can be summed up in two points: the display is now 5-inches rather than 4.5, and there are stereo front speakers. That's about it. On the inside, the cameras have gotten modest updates (8-megapixels in the rear and 2-megapixels in the front compared to 5MP and 1.3MP), and there is now a microSD card slot. Otherwise, the device has the same Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, swappable shells, and software offerings.+ View Specs

The device measures 72.4 x 140.8mm (~2.85 x 5.54-inches) and the width ranges from 3.8 mm (0.15-inches) at the edge to 9.9mm (0.39-inches) at in the middle, and it will weigh 144 g (5.08oz). Sadly, the back logo is not a button, although it does look like one. But, the edge-to-edge design means that Motorola has been able to fit a slightly larger display in the same device width as the Samsung Galaxy S5.+ View Specs

Huawei Ascend G7CompareThe Huawei Ascend G7 is an upper mid-range model that seems very interesting and appealing. For starters, the device has a big 5.5-inch 720p INCELL display. Thanks to this, the Ascend G7 is only 0.29 inches (7.6mm) thick. The build is impeccable, too - it's all metal here, folks. No plastic, no masters! The internals don't disappoint, either - a 64-bit quad-core CortexA53 1.2GHz processor, almost certainly Huawei-designed silicon, runs the show, together with 2GB of RAM. The processor is 4G LTE-enabled, and the phone has 16GB of non-expandable storage. The Ascend G7's main camera is a 13MP BSI unit with f2.0 aperture size. The front camera is a five-megapixel fixed-focus snapper. Both cameras have 88 degree-wide lens and blue-glass filters.+ View Specs

The 5.5-inch, phablet-sized Vibe Z2 is also the company's first 64-bit smartphone, running on a quad-core Snapdragon chip clocked at up to 1.4GHz. The resolution of the display, however, is far from being extremely detailed: it's just a 720p HD display with a pixel density of around 267 ppi. We should also note that it's great having the plentiful 32GB of internal storage and 4G LTE connectivity. The Vibe Z2 will also support dual SIM cards for those who want to have two lines active on one phone.+ View Specs

HTC Desire 820Compare8 reviewThe Desire 820 packs a potent 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, which instantly ushered its owners into the 64-bit Android era as the Android "L Version" update became available. Even if it had a regular 32-bit processor, though, the HTC Desire 820 would have remained one of the best mid-range Android phones to exist. Opting for the Desire series' recognizable plastic build, the phone offers a 5.5-inch 720p display and HTC BoomSound speakers for excellent multimedia experience. Known for its love of busting spec sheets, HTC adorned the Desire 820's front panel with an 8-megapixel (that's right!) camera for high quality selfies and software that lets you merge friends' photos with yours, apply digital makeup, and capture several moments in a single image.+ View Specs

Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet CompactCompare8.8 reviewSony did it again, unveiling the world's thinnest, lightest and most-waterproof 8" tablet, under the name of Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. The Z3 Tablet Compact is just 6.4mm thin, or as much as the 10" Xperia Z2 Tablet, making them both the thinnest states in the world. The Z3 Tablet Compact doesn't stop here, though, as it also introduces a very high for such a slim mobile device dust- and waterproof rating - IP58/68 certification - meaning that you can dive with it in up to 1.5 meters of water, and still be able to watch a full "Finding Nemo" down there, without the tablet skipping a beat.+ View Specs

Run HCTS 5.0 on guests of OVM
By Ye Julia Li on Jun 28, 2010
HCTS 5.0 supports virtual machines. You can install two guests OS on a single OVM server, install HCTS 5.0 on the guests as TM and SUT respecitvely, and start the test between guests. This execution doesn't require any physical network connection between the two guests.
To perform it, follow these steps:
[1] Install OVM on a machine. This machine is OVM server.
NOTE: Suppose the IP of the OVM server is 10.13.21.59,
[2] Install the first guest OS
NOTE: Suppose the first guest OS to be installed is S10U9
[2.1] On OVM server
[2.1.1] Download the guest OS installation ISO file on the OVM server.
# mkdir /OVS/s10u9_iso
and download the solarisdvd.iso file under /OVS/s10u9_iso
[2.1.2] # mkdir /OVS/running_pool/s10u9
# cd /OVS/running_pool/s10u9
# dd if=/dev/zero of=`pwd`/disk.img bs=1024K seek=20480 count=1
[2.1.3] # virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest? (yes or no) yes
What is the name of your virtual machine? s10u9
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabyts)? 2048
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /OVS/running_pool/s10u9/disk.img
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) yes
What would you like to use for the virtual CD image? /OVS/s10u9_iso/solarisdvd.iso
Alternatively, the command could be as follows:
# virt-install --hvm --vnc --name s10u9 --ram 2048 \\
--file /OVS/running_pool/s10u9/disk.img \\
--cdrom /OVS/s10u9_iso/solarisdvd.iso
[2.2] Turn to a remote machine (referenced as Working Desktop below)
# vncviewer 10.13.21.59:5900
A GUI is openned, and you can continue with the S10U9 (guest OS) installation.
[2.3] On OVM server
[2.3.1] # cd /
# xm create -c s10u9
[2.3.2]\* (This step is for Solaris 10 only)
# virsh attach-interface s10u9 bridge xenbr0
[2.4] On Working Desktop
# vncviewer 10.13.21.59:5900
Open vnc viewer window.
# dladm show-link
Check whehter the xnf0 interface has been added successfully.
# ifconfig xnf0 plumb
# ifconfig xnf0 dhcp or # ifconfig xnf0 <IP_address>/24 up
(This <IP_address> ought to be in the same network segment as the OVM server's IP)
[3] Install the second guest OS
NOTE: Suppose the second guest OS to be installed is OSOL_142
Repeat [2.1] - [2.4] replacing 's10u9_iso' with 'osol_142_iso',
replacing 's10u9' with 'osol_142',
replacing 'solarisdvd.iso' with 'osol-dev-142-X86.iso'
NOTE: (1) [2.3.2] could be ignored, since the xnf0 will be added to OpenSolaris automatically.
(2) The port number in [2.2] and [2.4] would be changed to 5901, since 5900 has been occupied with the first one.
[4] Install HCTS 5.0 on the two guest OS
[5] Start HCTS 5.0 on guests, and set one as TM and another as SUT.
The TM is set as Manual Network Configuration.
The Manual Network Configuration option of SUT is enabled.
A config file named as /opt/SUNWhcts/etc/sut_manual_ip.conf is generated manually. Its format is as follows:
interface_name local_IP_address(SUT) remote_IP_address(TM)
xnf0 10.13.21.103 10.13.21.104
Startup the system certification.

The couple, who spent the previous day celebrating with some pals at the wedding of an old school friend of Kate's, stayed at the 12th century inn close to the coast in Suffolk, eastern England.
The whole of the 34-bedroom Westleton Crown had been rented out for wedding guests. "They would have been familiar with everyone who was staying at the hotel," an excited hotel source says.
William and Kate stayed in The Swan room (usual cost: £165 a night) and arose to have breakfast with other guests. While sources at the hotel will not say what the couple ate, the usual menu includes mouth-watering locally-produced sausages, bacon or salmon and scrambled eggs, or a selection from the buffet.
And after that? "They left after breakfast to get on with the rest of their anniversary," the source says.

JERRY McBRIDE/Durango Herald
SILVERTON � What started as a strong season for the The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in May has lost steam, and train ridership is now about flat with the 2011 season.
�It�s been a lackluster end of the year, to be honest,� said Al Harper, owner of the D&SNG.
The railroad is a major contributor to the summer economy of Durango and Silverton.
Harper said the season started strong, running about 7 to 9 percent ahead of last year in May and June, but by later in the summer �it really slowed down.�
Harper said �right now, we�re within 1 percent of last year� in terms of ridership. �It�s an OK year.�
Harper spoke to a couple of dozen Silverton residents recently at Silverton Town Hall as part of his annual October pilgrimage to discuss issues involving the train.
Harper said the D&SNG has fared better than some of his other ventures. His Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in North Carolina is down 9 percent so far this year. And the Texas State Railroad from Rusk to Palestine, Texas, has seen ridership drop 13 percent.
The Cumbres & Toltec Railroad from Chama, N.M., to Antonito has seen business fall 11 percent.
�We actually did pretty good in the market place,� Harper said.
The overhead associated with running a historic railroad is significant.
�We�re dealing with steam engines that are in their 80s,� Harper said. The railroad must sink up to $700,000 a year in maintenance of the line and equipment.�
Harper expressed concerns about �issues with regulations,� higher operating costs and how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may affect his business.
But he said he wants to �brainstorm� some new marketing approaches.
�We�re searching for new ideas � new ways to get exposure,� he said.
Harper expressed gratitude the season has avoided �major calamities� so far. Last year, the train was blocked for days after a massive rockslide.
He said the extreme fire danger early in the season posed challenges, but the railroad took extraordinary precautions, including chartering a helicopter to monitor the tracks.
Fortunately, the trains were able to keep running, and no serious fires erupted along the line.
�We were lucky,� he said.
Harper, who has owned the D&SNG for 15 years, told Silverton residents, �We�ve come a long way. We�ve worked together. I�m very proud of our relationship.�
Trains have been on time about 90 percent of the time this season, he said, and he expressed regret over what he called a �loading controversy� at the Silverton terminus.
The railroad has a policy of alternating arrival and departure tracks to allow businesses on each side of 12th Street between Blair and Mineral roughly equal access to passengers.
But Tommy Tynes, owner of The Ice Cream Shop on the north side of 12th Street, said the practice has been unfair this year, with two out of three daily trains favoring the south side of the street.
�I�m going to make it as even as I can for both sides of the street,� Harper said. �I don�t want to get anyone mad. We don�t want anyone to think we�re unfair.�
Harper said he is optimistic about next year, though he expressed disappointment at this year�s Railfest.
The August celebration of trains cost the railroad some $37,000 to pull off, Harper said.
�It gave us no bump in ridership. Zero,� he said.
And Harper again expressed his opposition to possible development of a short excursion line along the old Silverton Northern grade between Silverton and Howardsville.
�I think that would possibly hurt the railroad,� Harper said.
His disagreement with Silverton Northern proponent Fritz Klinke, he said, is a �friendly divergent view.�
The last train to Silverton this year will be Oct. 27. The next season will start on May 4, 2013, and run through Oct. 27, 2013.

Another twist in the case of the conflicting causes of death for Amanda L. Wienckowski is expected to be revealed this afternoon, further challenging an Erie County medical examiner's autopsy finding that she died of an accidental drug overdose.
Relatives of Wienckowski – a Kenmore native whose body was found naked, upside down and frozen four years ago in a garbage tote outside an East Side church – say that new medical evidence will prove that the level of opiates in the 20-year-old woman's system was not enough to cause her death. This, they say, bolsters their contention that she was murdered.
"We know for a fact that the amount of opiates in Amanda's blood [was] not enough to even impair her," a family member said of the newest findings.
The findings will be released at 2 p.m. during a special meeting of the Buffalo Common Council's Legislation Committee. Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen, committee chairman, had requested that the county's chief medical examiner be present to explain her conclusions in the Wienckowski autopsy.
However, Chief Medical Examiner Dianne R. Vertes, one of four county pathologists to sign off on the autopsy determination of an opiate overdose, will not be present for the committee meeting, according to Pridgen.
The Council's staff, Pridgen said, was notified that it will instead receive a written response from the medical examiner.
Pridgen said it troubles him that a second autopsy's results contradict the county's findings. Dr. Silvia O. Comparini, a West Coast pathologist hired by the family of Wienckowski, previously determined that the young woman was strangled.
"We were asking for the medical examiner to come and explain the forensic findings in the death of Amanda," Pridgen said. "I refuse to go away or let this go away until I am no longer the legislative representative for the Ellicott District."
Wienckowski's body was found in the Ellicott District outside a church at Clinton and Spring streets on the morning of Jan. 9, 2009, several weeks after she had been reported missing. The trash tote was across the street from the home of Antoine J. Garner, the last known person to have seen her alive.
According to authorities, Garner said she visited with him on the evening of Dec. 5, 2008, for a paid sexual encounter and then left his residence.
The woman's relatives contend that Garner killed Wienckowski and that he has changed his story three times. Police have described Garner as a person of interest in the investigation, but he has not been charged in the woman's death.
Garner is currently facing charges of choking and beating a woman in June 2011. He was also charged last fall with a home invasion in Clarence; that case is also pending.
In addition, Garner is in the midst of court proceedings against him in the City of Tonawanda for allegedly threatening Leslie L. Brill, Wienckowski's mother.
Erie County Legislature Chairwoman Betty Jean Grant, D-Buffalo, is expected to be present at this afternoon's meeting.
"I'm going to the meeting because of the circumstances of how Amanda was found. It tells me that somebody was involved in the disposition of her body," Grant said.
Peter Anderson, a county spokesman, said County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale R. Burstein notified Pridgen's committee that it would be inappropriate for her or any member of her staff to attend the meeting. The Medical Examiner's Office is part of the Health Department.
Anderson explained that the findings of any autopsy are confidential.

Nowhere Boy
Confession time -- I grew up with The Beatles. They hit the music scene in the U.S. in 1964 when I was 9 years old. I was enthralled. From that time on, I really wanted to play guitar and drums. Many books and movies have been written and made about the early days of The Beatles. Nowhere Boy could have been just another in the bunch. Instead of focusing on how The Beatles got together, it brings the viewers attention to the stormy early life of John Lennon. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the film. So many different stories have been told even by John Lennon himself that it is hard to separate fact from fiction. Yet, the film rings true in feeling if not completely in fact. Paul and George are there, but more as background figures. Featured are the roles of Aunt Mimi and John's mother Julia and the up and down relationships he had with these two. I won't add much more except to say that when the film was finished I had not realized how much time had passed. It held my attention all the way through.

Bringing Beijing volunteerism to the Shanghai Expo
10 May 2010
Among them is UNV volunteer Fiammetta Mancini, who works as Partnerships Coordinator with the Beijing Volunteer Federation (BVF). Fluent in Chinese, she is one of only a handful of foreign national volunteers assisting at the Shanghai Expo, which began on 1 May 2010.
The Shanghai Expo 2010 is perhaps the largest international fair ever held. More than 190 countries are represented and the city expects 70-100 million visitors over the Expo's six month duration. Volunteers, who will guide visitors and perform various security and administrative tasks, are therefore crucial to its success.
Ms. Mancini worked with the Beijing Volunteer Federation on the Expo's opening 'Beijing week', which was attended by high level officials from China and the rest of the world.
"Our training in Beijing was quite intensive, interesting and comprehensive," says Ms. Mancini, "and covered not only an introduction of the Expo event and the Beijing Pavilion but also volunteer spirit and volunteerism in China, the culture and customs of Beijing and China, assistance for people with disabilities, first aid, fire prevention and rescue essentials."
At the Beijing Pavilion, Ms. Mancini greeted incoming visitors and helped with visitor flow management, making sure that people did not cram into the main hall and that the elderly, disabled and parents carrying children could enter without having to queue. She also provided information and helped out with pictures as needed.
While on duty, Ms. Mancini was interviewed by a number of media, including Beijing TV and Shanghai Dragon TV, contributing to the visibility of the Beijing Volunteers at the Expo.
"As a UNV volunteer cooperating with BVF to improve volunteer management capacity in China, it was interesting for me to work with the other volunteers from Beijing and Shanghai and learn about their motivation and interests," she says. "I found that many of them are eager to volunteer beyond large-scale events, and by talking to them about her project activities and volunteerism for development I raised their interest and encouraged them to continue volunteering their time and skills after the Expo."
The Shanghai Expo volunteers inherit the legacy of 2008 and the 'Strengthening volunteerism for development through the 2008 Beijing Olympic games' project. UNV also contributed to the Shanghai volunteers' training, explains UNV Programme Officer Henny Ngu.
"Our main message was the importance of harnessing volunteerism for development long after the Olympics," she continues, "for example through the Green Olympics campaign to promote environmental awareness and sustainable lifestyles. Two years later, we still have ongoing volunteer activities whereby trained university volunteers go to primary schools and carry out activities on how to protect the environment. Working with former Olympic volunteers, we also have pilot volunteer initiatives to support vulnerable groups, migrant children, the elderly and the disabled. This is the Olympics legacy that we would like to pass on to the Shanghai Expo."
About 72,000 volunteers will work within the Expo site itself, while another 100,000 will staff more than 1,000 service centres around the city. Perhaps 2 million volunteers will work as civic volunteers around Shanghai during the six-month Expo.

Barrett's esophagus is a disorder in which the lining of the esophagus is damaged by stomach acid. The lining becomes similar to that of the stomach.
When you eat, food passes from your throat to your stomach through the esophagus. The esophagus is also called the food pipe or swallowing tube. A ring of muscle fibers in the lower esophagus keeps stomach contents from moving backward.
If these muscles do not close tightly, harsh stomach acid can leak into the esophagus.This is called reflux or gastroesophageal reflux. It may cause tissue damage over time.
Barrett's esophagus occurs more often in men than women. People who have had GERD for a long time are more likely to have this condition.
Barrett's esophagus itself does not cause symptoms. The acid reflux that causes Barrett's esophagus often leads to symptoms of heartburn. However, many patients with this condition do not have symptoms.
The doctor may do an endoscopy if GERD symptoms are severe or come back after treatment.
A thin tube with a camera on the end is inserted through your mouth, then passed into your esophagus and stomach.
While looking at the esophagus with the endoscope, the doctor may perform biopsies in different parts of the esophagus. These biopsies help diagnose Barrett's esophagus, and look for changes that could lead to cancer.
People with Barrett's esophagus have an increased risk for esophageal cancer. However, cancer not common. Your health care provider may recommend a follow-up endoscopy to look for cell changes that indicate cancer.
Treatment should improve acid reflux symptoms, and may keep Barrett's esophagus from getting worse. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes and medicines such as:
Lifestyle changes, medicines, and anti-reflux surgery may help with symptoms of GERD. However, these steps will not make Barrett's esophagus go away.
Surgery or other procedures may be recommended if a biopsy shows cell changes may cancer.
Some of the following procedures remove the harmful tissue in your esophagus:
Treatment should improve acid reflux symptoms and may keep Barrett's esophagus from getting worse. None of these treatments will reverse the changes that may lead to cancer.
Call your health care provider if:
Diagnosis and treatment of GERD may prevent Barrett's esophagus.

MONTREAL – The Buffalo Sabres proved they are not ready for "The Voice." Their coach showed he might be eligible for "Last Comic Standing."
The Sabres ended practice Friday in Bell Centre by gathering at center ice to serenade Tyler Myers. The defenseman turned 23, and his teammates sang a raspy, off-key "Happy Birthday."
Coach Lindy Ruff was asked if he got Myers anything for the occasion.
"I got him some advice," the coach said.
The joke worked because Myers' game is no laughing matter. The Sabres' franchise defenseman is in a season-long slump that got worse during Thursday's 7-4 win over Boston.
Myers and partner Jordan Leopold were on the ice for three of the Bruins' goals. Brad Marchand undressed Myers and eluded Leopold to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Myers' turnover early in the third period enabled the Bruins to go up, 4-3.
The duo remained together during Friday's skate, but it's unclear whether they will be linked this afternoon when the Sabres visit Montreal. T.J. Brennan could replace one of them.
"I've got one healthy defenseman, and the option is to use him, to buy a little bit of time," Ruff said. "We know they both can play. They struggled. It's no different that a lot of teams will have a guy struggling, and we've got to try to get them through it.
"There's different ways of getting through it. Sometimes if you rest them, let them watch a game, it helps them. Sometimes you can let them work their way."
Myers has just one point in seven games, and it was the game-winner in the opener when his shot from the point hit a Philadelphia defender. Ruff had a long one-on-one with the defenseman on the morning of the Boston game, and Myers knew he had to be better.
"I know it's not good enough," he said. "Two slipups could really get me in trouble. It's something I have to clean up."
Montreal might get a huge boost on the blue line. P.K. Subban, who missed the first six games while negotiating a new contract, skated with Francis Bouillon on defense and the power play at practice for the Canadiens.
"You can practice game situations, but being in a game is different," Montreal coach Michel Therrien told reporters. "You can't just say, 'He's a good athlete, let's throw him out there.' It doesn't happen like that.
"We'll make the decision on what's best for the team and what's best for the return of a defenseman."
A beatdown at the hands of John Scott has put Boston forward Shawn Thornton on the sidelines. The Sabres' 6-foot-8 enforcer pummeled Thornton on Thursday, and the Bruins announced Friday that he's out seven to 10 days with a concussion.
"It is tough," Boston coach Claude Julien told reporters in Massachusetts. "Unfortunately, there's always a risk in that job. He took on a pretty big man, as we all know, 6-8, maybe around 280 pounds. He handles himself as best as he could, but those things are going to happen, and at the end of the day he still was willing to do it for his team."
The Sabres host Florida at 3 p.m. Sunday, so backup goaltender Jhonas Enroth may get a start this weekend. Ruff refused to say.
Ryan Miller, meanwhile, rebounded from a forgettable 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto with a 38-save night in Boston.
"For getting scored on four times, I felt good in net," he said. "They weren't horrible goals. I would have maybe liked Marchand's back where I bit really hard. I think Leo and I both bit really hard on that. Everything else was just stuff that happened night in and night out. I was happy to be there when I needed to be, and I was happy to respond."

So ladies and gentlemen, what is on your summer list? A cold beer: check; chilling out with your mates: oh hell yes! But what, oh what, is missing? More important than your tan or sun cream: a decent soundtrack to your summer is a must have for a memorable summer. Well, you're going to love this: look no further, I think I have a winner! With a quirky and unique sound, Nigel & the Dropout have it all. They're perfect for that all round breezy easy summer feeling when you're chilling on a sun lounger, they'll make you feel like you've known their songs your whole life. There's something distinctly familiar about their sound, yet it's like nothing you'll have heard for a long time.
Nigel & the Dropout have created something all too impossible to recreate. It's fast paced, interesting and intricately mastered. Their sound creates something you'd expect from bands such as The Smiths or The Arctic Monkeys, with an interesting drum and bass beat that'll leave you wanting to dance – try not to, I dare you!
In terms of their collective reference, I'm unsure of what they'd prefer; I want to refer to them as a two piece (which, by the way, they are – there is only two of them), but their sound is too full, too rich; a two piece just doesn't quite cut it! Where shall I start: the duo are dynamic for sure; Nigel plays a synthesizer while The Dropout (Andrew) impresses us with his amazing finger picking skill. Every now and again you'll hear a cleverly placed crash as the cymbal breaks through – that is Nigel with the hand that isn't flying along the synth! Amazed yet? Oh I'm not even started!
There are very few bands, in my humble opinion, which sound as good live as they do recorded. There are lots of reasons for this – too many to list. However, one I will mention (and you'll understand why in a second), is that a lot of the additional sounds bands use are added after they've sampled their parts. They're digitally mastered in and that's fine, but recreating that in a live performance setting is almost impossible! Nigel, on the other hand plays everything, and trust me, I mean everything. There are no laptops or digital interfaces in his set up, it's all him … while he sings as well! So, I think that requires a serious amount of recognition!
The Dropout, meanwhile, plays a mean electric guitar. Now, I'm not usually a fan of the guitar sound that they use – I call it wailing. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, but there are more sounds I prefer to listen to. However, saying that Andrew somehow makes it perfect. So much so that I didn't even notice what sound it was until the third listen of their perfectly blended albums and live performances.
Nigel & the Dropout are on Facebook and Twitter. You can listen to them on their BandCamp or SoundCloud. Their LPs ("&" and "Slice of ∞") and EP ("§§") can be downloaded for free from ThePromoBayUK, or all can be purchased (as well as an additional EP, Expiration Date) from the iTunes store.

Snoring may be more than an irritation; it may an early warning sign for your future health
Snoring is noisy breathing during sleep. It is a common problem among all ages and both genders, and it affects approximately 90 million American adults, 37 million on a regular basis according to the National Sleep Foundation.
Snoring disrupts your sleep and your partner's but can also lead to fragmented and unrefreshing sleep but now researchers from Henry Ford reveal that snoring could give you a higher risk to have thickening or abnormalities in the carotid artery. The risk is greater than in those who are overweight, smoke or have high cholesterol.
Dr. Robert Deebs, MD, Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at Henry Ford and lead author of the study, states "Snoring is more than a bedtime annoyance and it shouldn't be ignored. Patients need to seek treatment in the same way they would if they had sleep apnea, high blood pressure or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease."
This new study reveals changes in the carotid artery with snorers, even those snorers who do not have sleep apnea which is likely due to the trauma and subsequent inflammation caused by the vibrations of snoring.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder in which breathing is briefly and repeatedly interrupted during sleep. The "apnea" in sleep apnea refers to a breathing pause that lasts at least ten seconds. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat fail to keep the airway open, despite efforts to breathe noted by The Sleep Foundation. Sleep apnea has been strongly linked to heart disease and other serious health conditions.
Cardiovascular risk just may actually start with snoring instead of the long held belief of it being started by obstructed sleep apnea. The researchers note there is little evidence in humans to show a similar connection between snoring and cardiovascular risk.
For this new study, Dr. Deeb, and Dr. Kathleen L. Yaremchuck, MD, ENT-otolaryngologist, Henry Ford, and senior author of study, examined data on 913 patients who had been evaluated by the institutions sleep center. Patients, ages 18-50, who had participated in a diagnostic sleep study between December 2006 and January 2012 were included in the study. None of the participants had sleep apnea.
Overall, 54 patients completed the snore outcomes survey regarding their snoring habits. They also underwent an artery duplex ultrasound to measure the intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries.
Carotid intima-media thickness, a measurement of the thickness of the innermost two layers of the arterial wall, may be used to detect the presence and to track the progression of atherosclerotic disease. Intima-media thickness is the first sign of carotid artery disease.
"Snoring is generally regarded as a cosmetic issue by health insurance, requiring significant out-of-pocket expenses by patients. We're hoping to change that thinking so patients can get the early treatment they need, before more serious health issues arise."
The results revealed those who snored had a significantly greater intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries, in comparison to those who do not snore. Also revealed was no statistically significant differences in intima-media thickness for patients with or without some of the traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease; smoking, diabetes, hypertension or hypercholesterolemia.
The Henry Ford research team plans to conduct another long-term study on this topic, particularly to determine if there's an increased incidence of cardiovascular events in patients who snore.
The study was funded by Henry Ford.
Study results will be presented January 25 at the 2013 Combined Sections Meeting of the Triological Society in Scottsdale, Arizona. This study has been submitted to The Laryngoscope journal for publication.
In 2007, Yale University researchers had found that obstructed sleep apnea increased a person's risk for a heart attack or dying by 30 percent over a span of four or five years.
More information on sleep and snoring can be found online at the Sleep Foundation.

person 2: what dude?
person 1: That asshole just Ray Charles'd the shit out of me.

Coffee with Gin in it. Named so because Ray Charles is alleged to have drank it all day, every day. A Ray Charles can also be made with Vodka instead of Gin, so it tastes better.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Caramel-Walnut Monkey Bread. This bread is easily made from canned, cut-up biscuits, flavored with sugar and cinnamon, and layered with a sauce made of butter, brown sugar, and English walnuts. It is gorgeous, and tastes wonderful! In this video I mentioned that you can find a similar video for making Monkey Bread at Amy's Kitchen at the usafireandrescue channel. I highly recommend Amy's channel, and I hope you will visit. (I know many of you are subscribers to her channel already!) Amy's Monkey Bread is heavenly! Here is my version: Ingredients: 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) ¾ cup butter, melted (2) 12-oz. cans refrigerated biscuits (Keep them cool while working with your ingredients.) 1 ½ cups white sugar 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (Note: You may be able to get by with less white sugar and cinnamon. You could try just half as much and then mix up more, it needed.) cooking oil spray In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and ¾ cup melted butter. Stir well, and set aside. Place 1 ½ cups white sugar and 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. Close the top, holding it together with your hands and shake the bag until the mixture is well-blended. Now, open your refrigerated biscuits, and remove the biscuits from the first can. Separate the biscuits from each other, and cut each biscuit into four equal quadrants. Place the biscuit ...

LYRICS: Angry, please don't be angry, 'Cause I was only teasing you! I wouldn't even let you think of leavin' Don't you know I love you true! Just because I took a look at somebody else, That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf! Angry, please don't be angry, 'Cause I was only teasing you! Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see, Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me! Oh! Angry, please don't be angry, 'Cause I was only teasing you! I made a serious error on the title of the band in the video! On the video I had the name of this musical group as "The Bill Brown Philharmonic Symphony Ragtime Orchestra," but then after I had edited and posted the video I realized that the correct name is "The Bill Brown Philharmonic Syncopated Symphony Band." I guess the reason it's a "band" and not an "orchestra" is that we don't have any violins or a basoon. Maybe next year we can expand the band a bit to include those instruments in order to properly call ourselves an "orchestra."

Moving to BASIC programming with Gambas for kids
BASIC programming with Gambas for the beginner programmer
Scratch is a great tool for teaching programming to young children, but what happens when kids outgrow Scratch? Among Raspberry Pi aficionados, the typical answer is to advance to using Python, which is an excellent choice. However, in honor of the 50th birthday of BASIC, I would like to suggest another programming environment: Gambas.
Created by Benoît Minisini, Gambas is a Visual Basic-like Integrated Development Environment for Linux and BSD. It is not intended to be a 1:1 clone and will never be compatible with Visual Basic, but there is a Gambas module for "Visual Basic conversion help." The Gambas project's purpose is to produce a tool with the benefits of Visual Basic, while avoiding many of the things that Minisini found problematic in Visual Basic. Think of it as Visual Basic: The Good Parts edition.
Gambas has plenty to offer the beginning programmer without being overwhelming. The new project wizard presents six basic project types: graphical application, Qt graphical application, GTK+ graphical application, command-line application, SDL application, and CGI web application. The user selects one of these and also selects what optional features they would like (e.g., database access, internationalization, network programming, plus a few others). Once the project creation wizard is complete, the user is presented with a clean, uncluttered interface to design the forms and write the code for their new project. Inexperienced programmers, or those looking for inspiration for a project, can learn from the numerous example projects, which run the gamut from simple games (including a ncurses-based Pong!) to useful utilities for text and image manipulation.
Of course, it doesn't do any good to write a program if a programmer can't share their finished program with others. If the correct build tools are installed, Gambas can turn projects into packages for a large number of Linux distributions. Gambas running on, for example, Fedora can easily create packages for Arch, Debian, Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, Mageia, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Slackware, and Ubuntu/Mint. The packages can be shared with others, and they will be able to install and run the program. The distributions' package managers should automatically install the required Gambas run-time and any required modules.
Install it for yourself, and give Gambas a try:
- For Debian/Raspian/Ubuntu: apt-get install gambas3
- For Fedora: yum install gambas3-ide gambas3-examples
- Installation instructions for other distribution can be found here
If you like what you see and want to use Gambas as an instructional tool (or just need some help getting started yourself), A Beginner's Guide to Gambas—Revised Edition by John W. Rittinghouse and Jon Nicholson is a great resource. The book is slightly dated (it was written when Gambas 3.0 Alpha was the newest release), but it still provides a excellent introduction to Gambas and introductory programming principles. Even better, it is available under an Open Content License. You can download the book and source code for the chapters' projects from the A Beginner's Guide to Gambas website. Apologies in advance for the somewhat odd download method required. The download links are in a Flash widget. Try installing the GNU Gnash plugin if you want to download the book and don't have Adobe's Flash plugin installed on your system.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been trying to find the best way to teach my son to code. C, C++ or even C# may be a bit advanced to start on. I started with BASIC then went to Assembly in the old days.
The interactivity of BASIC makes the language an ideal introduction to programming. Like yourself I started on BASIC and graduated to 6502 assembly language within a few months. The ability to combine BASIC and assembly opcodes within the BASIC programme on my Commodore VIC-20 turned me into the geek that I am today.
Visual Basic is a mess. A simpler and more modern language like Go ( http://golang.org/# , http://tour.golang.org/#1 ) - it has a syntax similar to C, but has automatic garbage collection and a simpler object orientation than other languages
It is a compiled language, but even large programs compile and run in a few seconds so it is close to the interactivity of interpreted languages
- It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a single computer.
- Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries.
- Go's type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the relationships between types.
- Although Go has static types the language attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.
-Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.
To sum up, Go is kind of "C meets Python" in concept. You could also try Python.
The only thing is that Go and Python need a little bit of patience initially to take the time to understand packages and syntax because most of the functionality including the flashy stuff isn't built in like it is in Visual Basic, but needs to be imported.
Vote to bring back the VB6 programming language:
I found Gambas good, (mostly for beginners). It has two GUI: GTK and Qt. It has auto-completion.It is Object Oriented. I do not know whether it's GPL or Open Source but I guess it's fairly free onto plenty of free Linux platform. Unfortunately, it comes with lot of dependencies with different license each!! Still, it lacks of a real free database support.
Dependencies and all of their different editions make Gambas fractional, some time no backward compatible. An improvement could be a dedicated linux, look at GambOs!!
Most of the other languages do not have a modern, simple GUI too, nor a free database.
Java is not free for commercial productions.
Python, Perl and C have GTK but the database. Perl is pure script: programmers some time
do not want to share their source code.
My choice is C. For the free database...make your own!!
Microsoft have just announced "everyone's favorite VB6 Runtime will continue to work" in Windows 10.
VB6programming and VBA programming continue.
But Microsoft still won't open source VB6 programming.

"You've got to serve somebody." – Bob Dylan Dear Readers: Normally, I answer questions you send me. This week, I'll answer a question I sent myself. After Hurricane Sandy struck the Northeast, I was lying in bed with a coat on under three blankets in my dark, cold house, and I couldn't feel my toes. My car was almost out of gas and I'd just eaten cold beans for dinner.
That's when I asked myself, "How am I going to get through this?" This is my answer to me. I hope it helps you survive whatever storms wash over you and yours, especially those that can't be tracked on radar.
The big spiritual lesson I learned from Sandy is simple and difficult. Most deep truths are like that – simple and difficult: The key to getting out of survival mode is to serve others. The great personal and spiritual danger of living through catastrophe is self-pity. It's normal and natural in abnormal and unnatural times to surrender to self-regarding concerns. We just want to be warm and fed and connected to our electronic umbilical cords, and at times none of that is possible.
When you have children to care for, the burdens pressing you down are even heavier. I felt myself spiraling down into a dark place. Then my friend Cal Kleinman and his wonderful wife, Denise, got to me and offered me a generator-assisted hot shower and a warm place to sleep.
In the Sabbath daylight, they suggested we fill up our cars with food and water and head down to the South Shore of Long Island and just give it all out to the first people we saw who were in need.
Eventually, we found our way past some National Guard troops into the town of Lindenhurst, where we passed a Roman Catholic Church with the eerily appropriate name of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (210 S. Wellwood Ave, Lindenhurst, NY 11757). Hundreds of tired, disoriented, hungry and thirsty adults and children were entering the front doors of the church, and hundreds of people like us were coming in the back doors with donations.
The pastor, Father Joseph DeGrocco, greeted me, hugged me and told me in a shaken voice that out of 6,000 parishioners, he didn't know of a single family that hadn't suffered some kind of devastating loss in the storm. Many lives were lost and he was simultaneously preparing to place bodies into graves and blankets onto tables.
I was suddenly both sad and well again. In fact, I was more than well. I was healed from my embarrassing detour into self-pity. Upon returning to my synagogue, I sent out a mass email urging friends and congregants to become "back-door people" and bring needed items to the church immediately.
By Sunday, we'd sent over 10 cars and trucks full of food, and our youth group was sorting and collecting new donations. Good deeds have power in themselves, but their greatest power is that they produce other good deeds. People want to help and good deeds show them how.
I thank God for what they do not only for the victims of disasters, but also for the helpers of the victims. They help victims see that they're not alone, and they also help the helpers shake off the spiritually corrosive effects of self-pity, impatience and anger. We serve ourselves best when we serve others. We heal ourselves best when we heal others. It's just that simple, but it's just not that easy.
So let me urge you, my dear readers, to find a back door to some healing place near your home and walk through that door today with your family and friends. This is our best way to find each other and our best way to find God.
In Job 14:7-9 we read: "There is hope for a tree; If it is cut down it will renew itself; Its shoots will not cease. If its roots are old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, at the scent of water it will bud and produce branches like a sapling."
We have been cut down, but our roots are old in the earth and yet we can smell the waters of hope.
Our good deeds are our leaves, and so soon after the great whirlwind at the scent of water, they are growing again.

The price of silver is pretty important to me. When I started making jewelry, it was right around $12 an ounce. Now we're looking at the $16 to $20 range.
I thought having an instantly updated spot silver chart would be helpful so added one at the bottom of the right hand navigation. Helpful huh?
