Accuray, Inc. (ARAY) Passes 600th Installation 0 commentsJan 11, 2012 10:18 AM | about stocks: ARAY
Accuray Inc. yesterday announced that it has surpassed 600 installations of its CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System and TomoTherapy System globally. The numbers were presented at the 30th annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco by Accuray CEO Euan Thompson.
Accuray is a Sunnyvale, CA company that focuses on developing and manufacturing devices intended for radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image guided radiation therapy, and adaptive radiation therapy. Their CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems have assisted over 200,000 patients worldwide.
With over 600 installations in 33 countries in approximately ten years, Accuray has solidified their marketplace position. Accuray is currently pursuing opportunities that will see replacement units taking over for the earliest installed CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems. With a growing demand for effective and efficient radiation oncology treatments, Accuray seems confident that momentum will continue to further push year-over-year growth.
Euan S. Thomson, president and CEO of Accuray, said, "Accuray is committed to advancing our product lines to meet the ever-changing needs of our customer base, as well as the patients fighting cancer. The proven advantages of Accuray's treatment systems are behind the growing global adoption of both the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems by new as well as existing customers. Our proven track record solidifies Accuray's position in the growing radiation oncology market."
Raj Denhoy, managing director, equity research at Jefferies & Co., said, "Through the acquisition of TomoTherapy, Accuray is well positioned with two cutting edge and complementary technologies in a growing radiation oncology market. With an established and growing installed customer base, we anticipate continued good growth driven by both competitive wins as well as replacements."

Author Interview: Pari Noskin
Writer Pari Noskin (who is also Pari Noskin Taichert) started out life as an imaginative child with a serious case of Stubborn. Add in hating school, and all this culminated with her skipping classes for two weeks in the fifth grade. Once her transgression was discovered she was shipped off to a private girl's school as quickly as possible. In her case, the focused attention and small classes were just what she needed to nudge both writing and a fascination with communication into full flower. Continue reading
WWW Wednesday – Sept 3, 2014

That doesn't matter, because the rest of this alien world is as rigidly courteous as a Regency romance in some ways, and as lawless as a cowboy book in thers. The language, mores, practices, and passions are all strange and compelling. One of these days, someone who knows cricket will sit with me through a game and my education will be complete.

Dusting Cobwebs: Or, the Internet is Constantly Becoming Obsolete
I've put it off for over a week, ever since I last faced the ancient web site…the ancient software needed to update it. Over a decade ago, I grabbed the best solution available to build a text site for a shoestring nonprofit run by a nationally respected visionary. They wanted fast downloads on already obsolete machines, on dial up systems. They wanted more text than most people could imagine. They wanted it easy on the eyes.
People still go to it, despite its age. Its most valuable commodity needs updating. That has been what I've been up to, in the dark hours. Once again, perhaps for the last time, I go to update www.UniversalLivingWage.org. Continue reading

Re: Stock SMS application's Preset SMS template character number
There might be a limit as it is meant for swift replies and nothing large (hence quick reply) and once past that character limit it would then be converted into MMS.
Not sure other than rooting if there is a way around this.

Review Summary
- Huge bathrooms with heated towel racks
- Tivoli radios; Bose iPod docks
- Located in the heart of SoHo
- The Crosby Bar; comfort food in a cozy setting
- Small gym on site, plus free passes to a great gym one block away
- Free Wi-Fi (and free laptops for guests to borrow)
- Slow elevators
Bottom Line
Opened in October 2009 on a quiet, cobblestoned street in SoHo, the 86-room Crosby Street Hotel offers spacious, impeccably furnished rooms to a sophisticated set who can afford the sky-high rates. The hotel manages to be both lavish and welcoming, especially at the restaurant and in the vibrant public spaces.

Oyster Hotel Review
Gorgeous new 86-room boutique in the heart of SoHo with prices as high as its ceilings.
Tucked away on a quiet cobblestoned street one block from Broadway in the heart of SoHo, the 86-room, 11-story Crosby Street Hotel is the latest addition to lower Manhattan's increasingly crowded market of downtown boutiques. Opened in October 2009, the hotel was built on a prime piece of real estate that was previosuly a parking garage.
The Crosby Street is the first property outside of London for Firmdale Hotels, a small boutique chain that's privately owned by husband-and-wife team Tim and Kit Kemp. The hotel is beautiful, and manages to feel both sophisticated and accessible -- you can actually sit on the velvet tuxedo-style sofa in the "drawing room" without feeling like you're violating some kind of design etiquette. Kit Kemp serves as the design director, and she and her team clearly paid obsessive attention to color, texture, and detail: from the 10-foot-high Jaume Plensa sculpture in the lobby to the deep sofas in the drawing room to the textured wallpaper in the rooms. The overall effect is as whimsical as it is comfortable, a combination that's often absent from the monochrome glass-walled design hotels that have sprouted in the vicinity -- like the Cooper Square and the Thompson LES.
With standard rooms starting at 340 square feet, the Crosby's rooms are significantly more spacious than the 240-square-foot rooms at the nearby Mercer. They're also significantly more expensive. Both hotels have a 24-hour concierge, but what's nice about the service at the Mercer is that every person on staff doubles as a concierge, from the bellman to the front desk staff. The Crosby sure is pretty, though.
The hotel opened in 2008, and service still needs some fine-tuning.
- Check-in is at 2 p.m., not the standard 3 p.m.; checkout is at 11 a.m., not noon.
- 24-hour room service; 20 percent service charge automatically added to the bill
- 24-hour concierge
- Free copy of The New York Times delivered every morning (though mine didn't arrive)
- Nightly turndown service
- Free welcome gift delivered at check-in -- mine was a box of pencils
- Some of my service requests were answered quickly -- my toothpaste arrived within two minutes -- but others took some time.
In the heart of SoHo, steps from some of the city's best restaurants and shopping
The Crosby Street Hotel is, naturally, located on Crosby Street, a quiet cobblestoned street one block east of Broadway in the heart of SoHo, one of New York's most vibrant fashion and dining districts. For those who want to be downtown, the location doesn't get much better than this. The MoMA design store and Balthazar, a renowned French restaurant and bakery, are both half a block away, and stores like 3.1 Phillip Lim, Marc Jacobs, and Anna Sui are within an easy stroll.
- Located in the heart of SoHo within walking distance of many of New York's best restaurants and shopping, as well as NYU, Chinatown, and the Lower East Side
- Within two blocks of seven subway lines
- 10- to 15-minute cab ride ($10 to $15) to Times Square, Central Park, and the theater district.
- From JFK International Airport, it's a one-hour, $45 flat-rate taxi ride to anywhere in Manhattan. From LaGuardia, it's about a 30-minute, $40 metered cab ride. Rides from Newark cost at least $40 (plus tolls), and can take more than 90 minutes.
Nearby Hotels
Spacious, beautifully appointed rooms and large bathrooms with heated towel racks
With a mix of new and vintage design pieces, textured fabrics, and bold splashes of color, these rooms are some of the most understated and beautiful (and expensive) in New York. Design director Kit Kemp clearly paid great attention to small details that make a difference: good lighting, heated towel racks, fine Frette linens, even a lavender sachet in the closet. The standard Superior Rooms are all on the 2nd floor and start at 340 square feet, making them almost one-third larger than rooms at the nearby Mercer. Every room category up from superior gets a bit more space and a better view. One gripe: Bathtubs aren't standard in the bottom three room categories (only deluxe courtyard and above), and there are no alarm clocks.
- Rooms start at 340 square feet, and no two are designed exactly alike.
- Spacious, well-lit bathrooms with his-and-her Lefroy Brooks sinks, heated towel racks and cotton Frette towels. Custom toiletries from Miller Harris in London
- Supremely comfortable beds with crisp 400-thread-count Frette linens, down pillows, and duvets
- Great attention to detail: soft lighting, plenty of outlets, satin-covered clothes hangers, a lavender sachet in the closet
- Tech amenities include Bose iPod dock, Tivoli radio, 32-inch Sharp flat-screen TV, and BluRay DVD player.
- No alarm clock
- Two soft, thick cotton robes in the bathroom and slippers in the closet
- Minibar with Dean & Deluca snacks from $3 to $7 (they're free at the Mercer), sodas $4, half bottle of Krug $125
Rooms and Rates
Rooftop garden; free Wi-Fi; screening room; and a well-equipped, but cramped, gym
With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating areas, a well-equipped but small gym (or free passes to Equinox), a 99-seat screening room, and even a rooftop vegetable garden, the Crosby Street has the basics more than covered. By comparison, neither the Greenwich nor the Mercer has a screening room, but the Greenwich does have an underground pool. Both the Greenwich and the Mercer have more acclaimed restaurants: chef Andrew Carmellini's Locanda Verde (at the Greenwich) and Jean-Georges Vongerichten's The Mercer Kitchen (at the Mercer).
- Well-equipped but small fitness center with two treadmills, an elliptical machine, a rowing machine, an upright bike, a recumbent bike, and a stair climber, plus an assortent of weights and medicine balls
- Screening room with 99 luxurious Poltrona Frau leather seats and wool-lined walls
- Rooftop vegetable garden
- No business center, but guests can borrow Mac laptops from the front desk
- Outdoor seating area called the "sculpture garden" with a petrified tree sculpture, garden with native plantings, and a high cedar-planked wall for privacy
- Free Wi-Fi
Eco Initiatives
Opened in October 2009 , Crosby Street is the first New York City hotel to earn a LEED gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council
The Crosby Street Hotel was the first Empire State hotel to hear a LEED gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The building itself completed constructed in 2009, so the designers and were able to incorporate some ambitious eco-friendly features such as a "green" roof (for growing some of the restaurant's fruits and vegetables). There are low-flow faucets and toilets throughout the building, and the hotel offsets at least 35 percent of its electricity.
Rooms are spacious, but there are few kid-friendly attractions in the neighborhood.
Although its upscale downtown vibe isn't exactly geared towards kids, some of the rooms, especially the deluxe courtyard suite with a king bed and a queen-size pullout couch, are good for families. I met one family from Nashville, with four kids between ages eight and 15, who said they specifically chose the Crosby Street because it had spacious rooms that connected. However, the hotel is located in SoHo, an area known for its shopping and restaurants, and not for kid-friendly attractions.
- Cribs and rollaway beds are free.
- Rollaways do not fit in the standard Superior Rooms or Luxury Rooms -- only deluxe rooms and above.
- Connecting rooms are available.
- No set children's menus, though the hotel can arrange a custom menu on request
American and English comfort food -- and great cocktails -- in a setting that's buzzing but still cozy
SoHo needed a spot like The Crosby Bar -- it's a large space, but still manages to feel cozy and warm with floor-to-ceiling warehouse-style windows, banquettes, and a long pewter bar. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, and the executive chef is Robin Read, who oversees food operations across all of Firmdale's hotels. His menu isn't especially adventurous -- continental American with some English favorites mixed in -- but the food's good, and prices are fair for the neighborhood. Annoyingly, the restaurant was so packed the night of my stay that the only place for me to sit was at the bar. Even when I said I was a guest of the hotel, they couldn't squeeze me in, so I ended up ordering the fish and chips with pea puree ($21) through room service.
- The setting is superb -- floor-to-ceiling warehouse-style windows, cozy chairs, and warm colors. Open from 7 a.m. until 12:30 a.m.
- Service can be sluggish, but the staff is friendly.
- Excellent breakfast -- prices range from $9 (granola) to $19 (bagel with smoked salmon); larger prix fixe breakfasts between $19 and $31
- Bar menu ranges from $8 (sliders) to $21(cheese plate with sourdough)
- Dinner mains range between $14 (sheep's milk cheese panini with roasted vegetables) and $38 (sirloin steak with French fries and Béarnaise).
- Cocktails are creative and delicious -- but cost a staggering $18 to $20.

Single mononeuropathies are characterized by sensory disturbances and weakness in the distribution of the affected nerve. Diagnosis is clinical but may require confirmation with electrodiagnostic tests. Treatment is directed at the cause, sometimes with splinting, NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, and, for severe cases of nerve entrapment, surgery.
(See also Overview of Peripheral Nervous System Disorders.)
Trauma is the most common cause of acute mononeuropathy and may occur as follows:
Violent muscular activity or forcible overextension of a joint may cause focal neuropathy, as may repeated small traumas (eg, tight gripping of small tools, excessive vibration from air hammers).
Prolonged, uninterrupted pressure at bony prominences can cause pressure neuropathy, usually affecting superficial nerves (ulnar, radial, peroneal), particularly in thin people; such pressure may occur during sound sleep, intoxication, bicycle riding, or anesthesia.
Compression of nerves in narrow passageways causes entrapment neuropathy (eg, in carpal tunnel syndrome).
Nerve compression by a tumor, hyperostosis, a cast, crutches, or prolonged cramped postures (eg, during gardening) may cause compression paralysis.
Hemorrhage that compresses a nerve, exposure to cold or radiation, or direct tumor invasion may also cause neuropathy.
Compression of a nerve may be transient (eg, caused by an activity) or fixed (eg, caused by a mass or anatomic abnormality).
Symptoms and Signs
Single mononeuropathies are characterized by pain, weakness, and paresthesias in the distribution of the affected nerve or nerves. Pure motor nerve involvement begins with painless weakness; pure sensory nerve involvement begins with sensory disturbances and no weakness.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome may be unilateral or bilateral. It results from compression of the median nerve in the volar aspect of the wrist between the transverse superficial carpal ligament and the flexor tendons of the forearm muscles.
The compression causes paresthesias in the radial-palmar aspect of the hand and pain in the wrist and palm. Pain may be referred to the forearm and shoulder. Pain may be more severe at night. A sensory deficit in the palmar aspect of the first 3 fingers may follow, and the muscles that control thumb abduction and opposition may become weak and atrophied.
Sensory symptoms due to carpal tunnel syndrome are similar to those due to C6 root dysfunction secondary to cervical radiculopathy.
Peroneal nerve palsy
Peroneal nerve palsy is usually caused by compression of the nerve against the lateral aspect of the fibular neck. It is most common among emaciated bedbound patients and thin people who habitually cross their legs.
Peroneal nerve palsy causes footdrop (weakened dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot) and, occasionally, a sensory deficit in the anterolateral aspect of the lower leg and the dorsum of the foot or in the web space between the 1st and 2nd metatarsals.
L5 radiculopathy can cause similar deficits but, unlike peroneal nerve palsy, tends to weaken hip abduction by the gluteus medius.
Radial nerve palsy
Radial nerve palsy (Saturday night palsy) is caused by compression of the nerve against the humerus, as when the arm is draped over the back of a chair for a long time (eg, during intoxication or deep sleep).
Typical symptoms of radial nerve palsy include wristdrop (weakness of the wrist and finger extensors) and sensory loss in the dorsal aspect of the first dorsal interosseous muscle.
C7 radiculopathy can cause similar motor deficits.
Ulnar nerve palsy
Ulnar nerve palsy at the elbow is often caused by trauma to the nerve in the ulnar groove of the elbow by repeated leaning on the elbow or by asymmetric bone growth after a childhood fracture (tardy ulnar palsy). The ulnar nerve can also be compressed at the cubital tunnel (sometimes causing cubital tunnel syndrome).
Compression at the level of the elbow can cause paresthesias and a sensory deficit in the 5th digit and medial half of the 4th digit; the thumb adductor, 5th digit abductor, and interosseus muscles are weak and may be atrophied. Severe chronic ulnar palsy causes a clawhand deformity.
Sensory symptoms due to ulnar nerve palsy are similar to those due to C8 root dysfunction secondary to cervical radiculopathy; however, radiculopathy normally affects the more proximal aspects of the C8 dermatome.
Symptoms and examination findings may be nearly pathognomonic.
Electrodiagnostic tests are usually done to clarify the diagnosis, particularly when clinical findings are inconclusive—for example,
Electrodiagnostic tests also help localize the lesion, assess severity, and estimate prognosis.
Underlying disorders are treated.
Treatment of compression neuropathy depends on cause:
Fixed compression (eg, by tumor) often must be relieved surgically.
For transient compression, rest, heat, limited courses of NSAIDs in doses that reduce inflammation (eg, ibuprofen 800 mg tid), and avoidance or modification of the causative activity usually relieve symptoms.
For carpal tunnel syndrome, conservative therapy includes splinting the wrist, oral or injected corticosteroids, and ultrasound. For refractory cases, surgical release is usually effective.
Braces or splints are often used pending resolution to prevent contractures.
Surgery should be considered when progression occurs despite conservative treatment.
Key Points
If findings indicate that a single nerve is affected, trauma is the most likely cause.
Do electrodiagnostic tests if necessary to distinguish mononeuropathies from radiculopathies and other disorders that cause similar symptoms.
For transient nerve compression, advising patients to avoid the causative activity may be all that is needed.

The most recent issue of Barron's contains a negative article on gold, warning that the metal could fall as much as a third from its current level. The article's argument is encapsulated in its description in the paper's index:
"Gold Loses Some Glitter: Was that the sound of the yellow metal's bubble popping?"
The essential thrust is that the extremely rapid rise in gold is typical of a bubble and that bubbles always correct dramatically.
Now, there may be reasons for a bearish view on gold, but this article doesn't express them convincingly. Indeed, from a contrarian point of view, the fact that so many articles in the news continue to talk about gold as a bubble is a much more bullish indicator than bearish.
Of course, with this summer's especially dramatic run up in gold to a new all-time high we have not surprisingly encountered an increasing amount of what might be termed "bubble talk," and we have commented on it before. Our view has not changed:
A good definition of a bubble is an explosive increase in the price of an asset that cannot be justified by underlying fundamentals.
Gold, to be sure, has certainly been on a tear. Since its bottom in August 1999 the metal has risen more than seven-fold. What's more, since its more recent bottom in 2008 gold has climbed more than two and a half-fold. No one would argue that these are not major, and even explosive, gains. But such gains are hardly unprecedented and by themselves are predictive of nothing.
For example, between late 1998 and late 1999 the OTC market climbed more than two and a half fold – in about one-third of the time it took gold to make the comparable recent move. And from that point in late 1999 the OTC rose another 50 percent in less than a year. Moreover, there are loads of individual stocks that did much better than the OTC market.
So for starters, though the rise in gold might be called explosive, parabolic, you pick the term, there are many other assets that have climbed even faster and then continued to climb much further.
The point here is that the slope of the curve does not define a bubble. The bubble in the OTC stocks (which was true bubble) burst because the earnings underlying the stocks in the index disappointed. In many cases, projections of 20 or 30 percent long-term annual gains turned into little or no gains, and in a lot of cases outright losses. In other words, the bubble burst – as bubbles always do – when the underlying fundamentals no longer supported the gains.
What are the fundamentals that have been supporting gold recently and have supported it in the past? In general terms, it is economic conditions that cause investors to lose faith in paper currencies.
The two types of economies in which the paper currencies lose their luster are inflationary and deflationary. In both cases the proverbial printing presses are working overtime and the world is deluged with paper money well in excess of the goods available or willing to be purchased. In the case of deflation it is an unwillingness to purchase no matter how much money is printed. Perhaps it is more exact to say an inability to purchase no matter how much money is being printed. In America, the massive amount of money being printed is, for a variety of reasons, not finding its way into the pockets of the potential spenders. In the case of inflation, it is a case of too much money chasing too few goods.
America today is an odd mixture of both deflation and inflation. We have experienced more than a decade of rising commodity prices, which has dramatically raised the cost of many of life's essentials. In an economy driven by financial assets rather than real goods the rise in commodities has served as a heavy tax on that part of the economy that is not experiencing rising incomes, which amounts to about 90 percent of the economy. The average family income of the lower 90 percent of the U.S. is about $32,000. In a sense then, there is too much money chasing an ever scarcer supply of commodities, and too little money chasing products that are part of the American enterprise. Most Americans are getting poorer while commodity producers continue to get richer.
How can America get out of this mess? One way might be to create new industries and to bolster existing industries. Either way we will need to find new buyers for "made in America."
Martin Feldstein in a recent article on Bloomberg.com argues that exports are the only way to save the U.S. economy, and that the only way to increase exports is to continue to debase the dollar. If the dollar, according to Feldstein, does not depreciate substantially, there is little hope for the American economy. But no matter how you slice it, a depreciating dollar is tantamount to printing more dollars – and relatively more than other countries are willing to print of their own currencies.
In the abstract, the plan makes sense until you realize that a big chunk of America's trade deficit comes from its reliance on commodities. And it's not just oil. The number of commodities for which America has to import over 50 percent of its needs has been growing steadily for more than a decade. We are relying on imports for an ever greater amount of our commodity needs as commodities themselves become ever scarcer. Given that many other countries are in a similar boat, for the U.S. to get the dollar cheap enough will require a dollar tsunami, which will likely be matched by tsunamis in other currencies. It is difficult under this scenario to not forecast massive inflation across the board.
Already there are signs that deflation is giving way to inflation. The most recent inflation numbers show the CPI rising at a 3.6 percent rate over the past year. This is well above the long-term yearly average and comes with unemployment at 9.1 percent and many measures of labor participation close to or at all-time lows.
History, at least relatively recent history, suggests that periods of deflation are followed by periods of inflation – not just commodity inflation but inflation across the board. As our chart shows, during the past 80 years the greatest inflation followed the deflation of the 1930s. Indeed, in 1947 inflation peaked at about 20 percent – and that was from the minus 10 percent reading during the 1930s. Of course, the cause of the inflation that followed the 1930s deflation was the Second World War. But we don't think that is so different from today.

The bottom line is that without an export base, which is nearly impossible to achieve because of our dependence on a growing number of commodities at a time of increasing scarcity of critical commodities like oil, rare earths, iridium, etc., the U.S. dollar is likely to remain under pressure along with other developed currencies.
The downward thrust of the dollar will barely suffice to keep our standard of living from falling at an accelerated rate – never mind setting the stage for the creation of export industries. At a certain point, inflation is likely to break out on a wide basis. The implications for gold, scattered corrections notwithstanding, are that the yellow metal will be one of the only games in town. The much less liquid silver market and resource currencies, including the yuan, will also do fairly well.
The one long-term hope would be recognition of the problem and a massive effort – on a scale probably at least matching WWII in terms of man-power – to develop new sources of energy. Given the recent actions in Washington, we are not holding our breath.Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Barrow National Forest
Favorite thing: There are no trees in the Arctic, but someone in Barrow has a sense of humor. These three "palm trees" stand near the northernmost house seen in the last tip. The trunks are made of driftwood, the leaves are the long fringed bonelike strips which hang from the upper jaw of baleen whales, and the coconuts are real. Laying on the ground are whale bones. The folks in Barrow refer to this, tongue in cheek, as "Barrow National Forest."
By the way, much of the driftwood found in this part of the Arctic Ocean comes from the interior of Canada via the Mackenzie River. The whale baleen comes from the ocean, and I don't know where they got the coconuts.
Imaiqsaun Cemetary
Favorite thing: Just beyond the satellite dishes on the southwest end of Barrow you will see Imaiqsaun Cemetary, where remains of ancestors excavated at the many archaeological sites around Barrow have been respectfully reburied. Here is the final resting place of the famous "Frozen Family" excavated from Mound 44 in the early 1980's. Also at rest here is a prehistoric girl excavated from an eroding bluff above the sea in 1994. She is in the plot surounded by the picket fence in this picture.
We were told that burials are easier in winter when the ground is frozen solid. In summer only a foot or two thaws, leaving a very wet muddy surface. For this reason extra graves are dug into the permafrost each winter to await those who may need them the following summer.
Northernmost house in America
Favorite thing: About five miles north of Barrow, on the road to Point Barrow, is a cluster of rustic cabins which comprise the Pigniq "Shooting Station." These small homes are used during summer as a hunting camp for the natives of Barrow who come here to hunt ducks, seals, walrus, and even polar bears.
One of the nicest of these cabins (pictured) is the one furthest north, before reaching Point Barrow. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the northernmost home in America - and a summer vacation home at that. Sorry, it's not an igloo. Igloos are not permanent homes but are only used in winter sometimes as an emergency shelter.
Satellites Connect Barrow to the Outside World
Favorite thing: Visitors who head southwest from Barrow will soon pass Fresh Water Lake, one of the original sources of drinking water for the village. Just beyond the lake you will see numerous satellite dishes, only a few of which are pictured here. These are tilted almost parallel to the ground because we are so far north. The dishes bring cable TV to Barrow and make possible advanced communications like two-way audio and video conferencing.
A standard joke here in the far north is that you can tell an Alaskan because he has no indoor plumbing and receives 150 cable channels. Actually most people in Barrow now do have indoor plumbing.
Being in Barrow
Fondest memory: Being in Barrow reminds me of being on the moon sometimes. Cold, bleak, deserted, flat, isolated, lonely, dark, yet one can make a killing here jobwise. What you make in the Lower 48(what they call the United States), you can make triple here. So the key is to stay and work 6 months then fly somewhere warm like Boca Raton, Florida and buy a mansion.
Barrow is the northernmost settlement in the United States,also located on the edge of the Polar Ice Cap more than 300 miles above the Arctic Circle. Vast seas of ice extend from Point Barrow another 1200 miles to the North Pole. From May to August, darkness never falls on Barrow as the golden glow of the midinght sun fills the sky, so staying here long term does affect the equilibrium!
Land of the Polar Bear!
Favorite thing: According to the local tour operators, the very best time to see polar bears is after the fall whaling season. Although it is possible to see them up here at the Point anytime of the year, October and November allow for the most likely viewing opportunities. In late May and early October, the Eskimo natives go Bowhead whaling. During whaling season there is an opportunity to photograph a whale being brought in on the beach and butchered. Whaling season tends to encourage the polar bears to feast on the remains that are left at Point Barrow.
Fondest memory: Seeing 50 polar bears while on a tour out to the point.
- Adventure Travel
Keep a look out for polar...
Favorite thing: Keep a look out for polar bears, whales, seals and many other wildlife that are found in this region. A ride out to Barrow Point is a must, with a good chance of sighting polar bears at the whale bone pile. The museum in town gives a great intro to the history of the people and town, and Pepe's is Barrow's most happening restaurant. Walk the beach and enjoy the view of the ice packs, as they change minute to minute in extravagent contortions and blue and turquoise displays. Try not to trample the fragile tundra, which is irreparably damaged just by a single footstep.
Fondest memory: The wildlife, the scenery, the isolation, the harshness, the only place I've ever been where I could experience pieces of untouched wilderness, it is all that encompasses the arctic.
Favorite thing: EVERYONE IN BARROW OWN A GUN AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF TIME..................AND AMMO SO WHAT DO THEY DO...............???????????
Barrow is 340 miles north of...
Favorite thing: Barrow is 340 miles north of the Arctic Circle, where the Bearing Sea meets the Chukchi Sea at Point Barrow, the farthest north on the North American Continent.

Everyone was so concerned about his knee coming into spring training, after Magglio Ordonez lost most of 2004 with his knee injury, then went overseas to have knee surgery performed in Austria.
But through spring training, everything appeared to be just fine. Ordonez was working out with the rest of the club, doing all the drills, hitting well, and looking like just the player the Tigers needed to insert into the middle of their lineup.
But when there was just one week left in spring training, Ordonez came down with an intestinal ailment, known as diverticulitis, putting his Opening Day availability at risk. Ordonez overcame the illness, but reportedly was still battling the flu, and after starting Opening Day as well as the next game, went back to the bench with dizziness and fatigue.
He finally believed he had overcome his struggles, but when he tried to return during the Tigers' first road trip in Minnesota, he woke up the next day after playing feeling sore and fatigued. He returned to Detroit, where he was diagnosed with a hernia and was expected to miss four to six weeks.
But now, after visits to specialists in Montreal and Philadelphia, the doctors are ready to diagnose Ordonez's hernia injury, and will now move forward with surgery Wednesday, as reported by WDFN 1130 The Fan. The surgery will sideline him eight to twelve weeks, putting his return somewhere around the All Star break.
It's hopefully the final step before recovery in what has been a frustrating string of events for Ordonez, who has been desperate to get back on the field and prove doubters wrong, that he indeed was healthy and could still hit at a high level as one of the top players in baseball.
Some among the Tiger front office were even hoping Ordonez would get off to a hot start and earn himself an appearance as an All Star in front of the Detroit home crowd at the All Star game. At this point though, the Tiger front office is just hoping he'll have a hit as a Tiger by the break.

EAUTARCIE is more than a simple technical option: it is a leap towards free-spirited open-mindedness. It expresses a political standpoint that tackles present-day consumer-society, the «all-to-the-bin» logic and its analogous «all-to-the-sewer» philosophy. It is a way out of our «throw away» society of institutionalized irresponsibility.
About the word EAUTARCIE (pronounced «Oh-Tar-See»): in French, 'EAU' means water, 'AUTARCIE' means AUTARKY, or a self-sufficient system independent of outside influences: EAUTARCIE, is therefore a neologism. The word was first coined by Philippe Gauthier and Manu Simon in 1997 in their film production «Eautarcie: Le civisme hors la loi» (Eautarcie: Civic Stances Outlawed), about the first set-up built along these lines.
The EAUTARCIE website's pages could easily fill a book. The Site Map – Glossary – FAQs – Downloads will help the reader find all practical information sought. But to understand the technical solutions proposed, it is best to read the chapters as you would a book. Reading individual pages out of context can instil further interrogations that are answered in other chapters. In fact, most frequently asked questions from my readers reflect a superficial reading of the website. As to sanitary engineering specialists, I can only urge them to a full reading of all pages, to avoid too hasty a judgment and faulty conclusions about the philosophy propounded on the EAUTARCIE website.

To get an overview of EAUTARCIE's Guiding Principles, click here.
The EAUTARCIE system constitutes a set of complementary techniques for sustainable water management worldwide. When examining the various proposals contained within this website, the reader will discover that the way to keeping climate change in check inescapably involves the concomitant management of water and biomass. Ultimately, the elimination of water problems worldwide is the natural outcome of this approach. The implementation of a global water/biomass management program depends on political and economical decision-makers. The individual has very little say in the matter.
Our first goal is to provide information to those who have the power to decide of the outcome of our beautiful blue planet. With all the environmental gloom and doom that is spread around by the media, EAUTARCIE aspires to be a message of hope. Beyond the growing inventory of environmental problems, it is distressing to observe the absence of concrete solutions to our dilemma. We therefore proclaim: humanity can shift away from the present destructive course. The new path is set, but it is time to make the correct decisions, on a global scale as well as an individual level.
The practical elements within the EAUTARCIE website are intended to help individuals make the correct decisions. On the road to a sustainable world, what is wonderful with the solutions herein proposed is that they do not put in question our modern comforts, and they are simpler, more reliable and less expensive than current compulsory techniques. They also provide better health safeguards. However, they have a «major drawback»: they call in question the centralized management of systems that are controlled by monopolies, and are less profitable techniques for those industries that depend on pollution de-pollution. Furthermore, by not adopting the new path, some players are tempted to control water as a commodity and a means of increasing their power. It should be noted that by resorting to corrective «repair» techniques that are in fact destructive, current legislation worldwide is the key obstacle to extending preventive problem-solving techniques that go to the root of the problem. Indeed, most techniques propounded on the EAUTARCIE website are shrugged off as marginal or even prohibited.
It is urgent to stop such techniques as the massive destruction of the biomass contained in our urban wastewater, the valorization of biomass for energy production (wood pellets, biomethane, biofuels, etc.) and speculation-based agricultural production.
The techniques proposed herein, like rainwater harvesting for whole-house reuse (PLUVALOR system), can be set-up in any home, whereas others, like grey water treatment (TRAISELECT system) are appropriate for dwellings that have a garden (or "backyard") covering at least 100 m². Nevertheless, the EAUTARCIE concepts are even transposable to urban areas. In a future we hope is not too far off, entire city neighbourhoods will be built as per the EAUTARCIE system. It can easily be shown that by integrating sustainable water management, such neighbourhoods will cease to pollute water and will have little impact on our water reserves. Up to now, the few attempts that have been made in this direction by individuals and groups of individuals have been categorically refused by regulating authorities. Even for small-scale experimental projects.
The techniques presented herein are the result of 20 years of scientific university research, field-tested in Europe and Africa. This website's purpose is to inform, without any commercial pretence.
This video provides a prospective view of sanitation.
If your home's horizontal roof area exceeds 30 to 40 m² per occupant, your expectations can be as follows:
To become independent of the public water supply network.
To obtain naturally mild freshwater for all domestic uses, at a cost varying between 0,50 and 1,00 € per cubic meter (1 cubic meter=1000 litres), when considering amortization of the initial set-up.
To obtain drinking water which's quality is comparable to the best bottled mineral water sold on the market, at a cost between 0,02 and 0,08 € a litre.
To treat your household grey water in your garden (or backyard) with a small underground system. The quality of the treated water that is then infiltrated into the soil or discharged into a waterway will be close to that of potable water, and very often of equal quality.
To obtain high-quality compost to regenerate the soil of your garden. This compost will absorb all your garden and kitchen waste, thus reducing the volume of your household garbage for municipal pick-up, by 40%.
To save between 500 and 2 500 € on your household wastewater system, if you live in a neighbourhood where single-home on-site sewage facilities are the standard (e.g. septic tank and leach field).
To have a clear conscience with respect to future generations.
By applying EAUTARCIE, your home will have little impact on the site : no water will be taken up from water reserves and no water will be polluted by the home. The water that falls on your roof will be restored to the soil in a state that is close to that of potable water. Finally, you will be restoring the nitrogen and phosphorus from your dejecta back into the food production cycle.

I haven't test yet, but I am interested to see how this supports synced audio and animations.
The good thing about Adobe Presenter is that it produces accessible courseware compared to Articulate Presenter or Storyline, which don't produce files that meet Section 508 requirements - if you produce for Govt or large clients.
Adobe Presenter Mobile, a new app from the iTunes App store plays your Presenter Flash files, right from the web on iPad and other iDevices. You publish your eLearning project once, and the Presenter Flash files will play back from either a Flash plugin in any web browser, or from the Adobe Presenter Mobile App.

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
The former president should appear in court on the morning of the first day for a hearing about a construction project and a land deal where his family stands accused of having received payoffs from businesses.
On January 20, the court will discuss embezzlement allegations linked to the presidential state affairs fund, while Chen will again be summoned to appear on the morning of January 21 to talks about the money laundering charges.
The reports about the impending trial came as an attorney for Chen filed an appeal against his detention Monday, launching the latest episode in a long and tortuous saga.
Chen was in custody from November 12 to December 13 as a suspect in several cases of alleged corruption and money laundering. He and 12 close relatives, friends, and former associates and government officials were indicted on December 12.
Following criticism by ruling Kuomintang lawmakers, prosecutors filed an appeal against ChenΓÇÖs release without bail. Their first appeal was rejected on December 18, but a second appeal was approved on December 29 after a change in the Taipei District Court three-judge panel ruling on ChenΓÇÖs cases.
At the presentation of the ex-presidentΓÇÖs appeal against the detention Monday, attorney Cheng Wen-lung told reporters the decision to detain Chen was completely wrong.
ChenΓÇÖs ΓÇ£behavior outside of prison delivers strong evidence that there is no need to detain him, since he did not interfere with suspects or witnesses,ΓÇ¥ Cheng said. The judges already ruled twice that he should not be kept in custody, the lawyer added.
The filing of the appeal with the Taiwan High Court is widely seen as an attempt to get him home before the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday starting on January 25.
The attorneys are arguing that Chen is not threatening to flee the country or to destroy evidence if he is released. Cheng said the sudden change in judges was illegal and unconstitutional, while the court has also still not ruled on a request for the new judges to abstain from the case. The attorneys filed the request on December 28.
The case ΓÇ£is not President Chen Shui-bianΓÇÖs defeat, itΓÇÖs the judiciaryΓÇÖs defeat,ΓÇ¥ Cheng told reporters.
If the attempt to free Chen fails, his attorneys could ask the Council of Grand Justices to rule on the constitutionality of his detention, reports said.
The former president has said he is innocent, adding that the funds involved in the money-laundering accusations were leftovers from his numerous election campaigns going back to 1994.
His son Chen Chih-chung and daughter-in-law Huang Jui-ching, who both were also indicted, visited him at the Taipei Detention Center in Tucheng, Taipei County, yesterday. In contrast to his previous bout in custody, Chen can receive visitors, though only two at a time.
The former president spends most of his time writing letters, said Ker Chien-ming, the legislative caucus whip for the Democratic Progressive Party. He had written eight letters so far to important people including President Ma Ying-jeou and Chinese President Hu Jintao, Ker said. Chen wanted the DPP to remember that its true enemy was not Ma but Hu, the senior lawmaker told reporters.
The ex-president has said his detention is part of a vendetta by MaΓÇÖs Kuomintang administration, which is misusing the judiciary to silence its opponents.
