Ok< I am really bummed out!
I have been having a Lot of trubble with getting my BG down . Since I went on the novolinR I have huge swollen hands and feet. LOL Finally getting the BG down though. The biggest problem is the horrible pains in my hands and feet.
Funny thing is that I took a couple of Aleve (store brand) and eased the pain a lot. That is when my sugar goes down, when the pain does. I can not explain as to why I have n ot been to the Dr. this month, to much family stuff. Am going after the first for sure. Sorry, just venting again.

OK,I finally got in to see the Phyc. N/P this morning. We talked and I answered her questions. She said that the nerve pain sounded more like disc problems in my neck and lower back than to do with my diabeties. Also that the next time I go to my Dr. to ask for them to do a gout test. Then she told me that she can not do anything for the pain, but she can knock me out at night. That getting some sleep should help me be more able to cope with everything else.
Thanks so much for just one more lingering trama to my life Gary. This is said very sarcastically. You see his favorite place to beat me was in the head leaving huge knotts ending in later damage. Nice guy Huh?
OK, Well it is close to time to see if this new med will help me sleep.
Praying that it works for you and you get some relief from the pain.
I called and now have an appointment at pathways ( mental health and counceling center) in my area. The idea and number came from the NP at the health department. Hopefully when I see them they can help not only with the depretion, but also with the pain, as some anti-depressants are also used for pain management. Would be great if we could kill two birds with one stone. The only kicker about going is that they can not get me in until the 19th of Sept. I am about in tears with the pain tonight. Bummer.
That is rough but you are a strong woman an I know you will do what it takes. I am going to get going on my self and work real hard to keep things on track. Prayers are with you.
Vickie Sorry to hear about the swelling and pain in your hands and feet. It's sucks being diabetic because those are always the first two things to sell I know been there for almost 31 years. It may be arthritis or it could be there is some nerve damage or that the blood follow is going down. I hope the doctors appt will figure it out for you. If the Alve is working and keeps the BS down I would keep doing that until you talk to your doctor and see what they say about it. I don't get relief from Aleve, but after my surgery from a slip and fall almost three years ago my ortho told me to do Tylenol Arthritis it seems to do the trick.
I have had chronic pain for years was prescribed NSAIDs they didn't work for me at all. Thank God the pain is mild now. Glad your BG is lower. Maybe the stress from the pain factored into BG numbers.
Thank you Robertoj. I am sure the pain does contribute to my higher readings. Every time the pain get almost unbearable (2-3 x's a week) there seams to be nothing I can do to get the BG numbers down. I know the OTC's that I take only help when the pain is not at 7 or over and then they only take it down to maybe a 4-5.
Being a RN For 33 years you kind of learn the rules. The NP was telling you the truth. By law and rules they work under a doctor. He may be in another office or even place but they have to have a consulting doctor who agrees to be available to the NP at anytime mostly by phone or they may agree to come in and work a couple of days with the NP but they can not practice without a doctor to consult with. As for writing prescription for narcotic or even controlled drugs they CANNOT write them for only a doctor can. As for the alert jewelry perhaps you could research on the Internet and find something more appealing. Let us know what you come up with. Have a blessed day.
Emma: One doesn't need to be a RN to learn rules. Vickie didn't question the NP's veracity. I understand her frustration with the limited medical help she was able to receive. Do you feel your discourse assisted her in any way? (That's a rhetorical question, btw.)
Ok I went to the Health department Friday. I had the pleasure of seeing a nurse practitioner. No I am not impressed with NP's. I tried talking to her about the pain in my arms and hands begging for something to help with the pain. She told me that due to the state she could not give me anything for the pain. I explained that I have no insurance and can not got to the pain clinic. I also explained that I can not go and have an MRI for the same reason and iwill not even if I could go and get a nerveinduction test. I have had two on my hips lower back and leggs, giving birth without pain meds is less painful. Well in her opinion I have two things wrong causing the majority of pain in my hands and arms.
First is pinched nerves and damadge in my neck and upper spine caused from the beatings in the head and neck from my first husband, along with my being in a car accident in the past (got hit so hard that even with my seatbelt on that My head busted out my sun roof.) lol Oh the things we put our bodies through when we are young and think "Oh it is nothing I am fine".
The second one is that I also have carpatonell syndrome adding to the pain.
She was very nice and said I am sorry I can not help you with this. I asked her if there was anything that I could take that would not damadge my kidneys. She said Nope. Then proceded to tell me to keep taking 2 Aleve twice a day. I begged her to at least up my gabapentin as I am only on 600mg TID. She finally did that. I am now on 800mg TID.
Don can tell when I am hurting, without me saying a thing. lol I guess I sit and rock when I hurt, but when it is bad I also have tears rolling down my face. He pointed it out to me, because I never paid any attention to it, just that I hurt. When it is the worst I go and lay down on the bed and cry.
Anyway, I get the privalage of learning to live with loosing the use of my arms and hands too. I am getting weakness in my arms from it too and at times I can not hold things without dropping them. Typing is not helping either. lol So I will get off of here for now.
So sorry to hear about all you have been through your first marriage sounds a lot like mine. More than anyone should have to endure.
Thank you Margo, So glad to be rid of him. lol He keeps turning up like a bad penny. Stuff to do with the kids and grandkids.lol And now with my health. Dam him. Oh well Donald would never let him hurt me again. Donald is the most loving, caring, respectful man I have ever met. I can not believe that God saw fit to bless me with such goodness in my life, but he did. It upsets Donald to see me in such pain and he is all the time due to fused disks and arthuritis in his back.
Hi Vicki: So sorry about all of your suffering. Just thought I would tell you that I have a friend who had tingling in one arm and hand for quite awhile (not as painful as yours) and she had an MRI which showed a protruding disc in her neck. They operated and fused the discs and now she is fine, she was on ACESS when they did all of this.
Also to let you know that ALEVE has never done a thing for any kind of pain that I have had…it does absolutely nothing for me; so might also be your case.
For other help with pain and high BG you might try contacting an Herbalist in your area; one who is a practitioner. There are many highly knowledgeable Herbalist on Herbmentor.com online and they are all about helping people. I have found that
Fenugreek supplements will bring down my BG if it is too high (even with taking Metformin)…so there are a few options that might help a little. God Bless You!
I looked online for a herbalist in my area and there is not one within about 100 miles. I can't drive that far darnit.
Thank you Misletoe. I had not thought of trying that Misletoe. I will definately check into it. If I can afford it I will try it. With no insurance and little money I hope I can. At this point I am willing to try anything to help with the pain. LOL anything that is except for the nerveindution test that is. lol I've had three kids and that test is more painful than childbirth ( I've had it done on my back and leggs years ago. When they told me i would be in a wheelchair. (Only as a last resort) I fought for 31 years not to be).
Another thing are you talking about carpel tunnel syndrome?
That is an unnecessary question, Emma. Her post is easy to read. It makes me sad to see this kind of treatment. Maybe you're in pain yourself. I wil pray for you. Mara
Yes, Sorry my spelling is not great. The Dr. can not prescribe anything for pain either. It is only pain clinic dr.s that can, I am told. TN. Sucks for trying to get any kind of medical help. The NP told me they have Cancer patients that can not even get TN. Care.
An apology is unnecessary, Vickie. Each of us should feel comfortable about our interactions here. None of us is perfect. IMO spelling, punctuation, typing skill, sentence structure all pale in comparison to what is being accomplished here. I wish there was something I could do to help you. I can only say that I understand your frustration from being unable to get your medical issues resolved, and I understand your pain. Sending love your way! ;-) Mara
Thank you, Mara. I am kind of used to it as I have a Sister that is a RN and considers that me (a simple CNA) knows little to nothing. Besides my spelling is due more to the fact that my brain works faster than my fingers and my fingers just can't keep up. LOL No offence intended to anyone.
LOL I know that one. I have had Dr.s' defer to me when they find I am a CNA more often than RNs'. I have ran an Adult Foster Care home, passed meds (and set them up) given shots, made menues, shopped for and cared for 12 clients at once. I am very glad that your home health nurse listens to and values your oppinion. That sure helps with the mental aspect of our health along with the physical.
I am no longer active as a CNA. I had a disbling condition in Dec 2005. Couldn't continue. Of course some of the RNs knew I had more education (master's degree) than they did, and the ones that didn't respect me I knew I had more education than them so their opinions of me didn't bother me.
I am so sorry that you are now disabled. So glad though that it is of Body and Not of Mind. You are such a good person and friend and that is not diabled. LOL I do understand and love the fact that you do not let ignorance get to you. I do not know how I am supposed to work with numb hands that are so painful that i drop things all the time. lol But I know I will get by. lol I try to laugh at least once a day.
Well thank you Vicki for those most kind words.
in 11 years of working as a CNA, I had never dropped a patient when transferring, except Dec 15 2005. I dropped someone (not far, mind you, it was to the arm of the power lift easy chair — but that and my inability to walk a straight line bothered me greatly) I was scared that I would be dropping patients because my balance was out of whack (worse then than it is now — eventualy had to use a walker for a while). I didn't want to put my patients or myself in danger, so I called the registry office and called off for the next few days hoping it would clear up. It didn't. In fact about 1 yr later I fell on the floor of my rented bedroom and was there for 5 days in a semi-comatose state. And to my perception I had only slept the night. My kidneys had shut down and the waste was poisoning my bloodstream. I ended up in the ER, and then ICU, and was put on dialysis, which according to the congress entitles me to "automatic" disability payments and medicare.
OH I do get irritated by ignorant attitudes, but (as the t-shirt says) I "don't let the turkeys get you down". LoL! I try to laugh as much as I can, mostly about me and my foibles.
I praise God that I do have my mind relatively intact (some would say that is a matter of opinion LoL!). And can use it to help people in situations like this.
Thank you for sharing that James. It is such a scarry thought that someone could lay there so sick for so long. I have thought about that before myself. I am very glad that you were found. It would have been a great loss to many of us on here as I am sure to many others as well. I know I would have lost the oppertunity of making a dear friend.
Yes I like that," Don't let the turkeys get you down."
Well, I believe God wasn't finished with me yet. I met jem online almost exactly a year after that incident. I believe He brought me through that to bring the two of us together. He was answering a prayer I had prayed years before, not long after my divorce. Jem said she prayed much the same prayer. We were SUCH a blessing to each other!
Just wanted to say hi! Glad that you are going to talk to the doctor about this. It's hard to live with constant pain. I am hoping that your doc has some answers for you. Please keep us posted!
Thank You Dr. Gary. I will. I should be used to living in constant pain. I messed up the mechanisams going from my back to my hips over 30 years ago working in a nursing home. Took me 2 years to fight the pain enough to be able to walk without help. The Dr.s back then told me I would end up in a wheelchair and would not give me any pain med, because as they said when I needed it, it would not help if I was already used to it. They told me to live with it. lol Like I had a choice. It is every new pain big or small intensifies the old pain or is it the other way around.
Hi Vickie.
Wow, you have really been dealing with pain for a long time. I am really sorry to hear this. It's a lot for you to deal with. And it sounds like you haven't received the level of help that you have needed with your pain. I hear these stories so often. I am wishing you answers and relief. I'm looking forward to better news!
I got the same thing when I started using Novolin NpH. It only lasted a few days though. Now I only get swelling in my feet and hands if my BG's are too varied during the day and I have to adjust my insulin intake. I usually take a Tylenol or just up my daily asprin dose and it helps until the swelling goes down in a day or two.
I have been doing a little better today. I am not sure if the swelling is due to heart problems, the heat (allergic to it), the insulin, or a combination of all. Scarry stuff.
You're right about that. When you go to the Dr, you may want to have some lab work done to make sure its not your kidney(s). Also, do you know what side effects there are with the Novolin? ;-) Mara
I take aleve for my neuropathy of the hands and its pain, be careful, use as instructed! I was on tramendol but this caused blurry vision! Ask your doctor all questions of the pain med he gives you nd its side effects before getting the perscription filled! I leared the hard way! Gong to try tylenol arthirits due to possible stomach problems with aleve! Grandpa Bi;;
Hey Bill! Be sure you are careful with the Tylenol. I had a step-daughter a long time ago who tried to commit suicide by taking drugs. The only drugs she could find in my house were over-the-counter. I have always been very careful with Rx drugs. She did it during the night, while we were sleeping, so we didn't know about it until the next morning. Anyway, when we got her to the emergency room, it was too late for a stomach pump. The point here is the only otc drug they were concerned about was the bottle of Tylenol. They took blood samples every hour and sent them by air to the poison control center in Denver, I think. What they were doing is checking for liver damage, because of the Tylenol. I know you aren't going to take a bottle of it, but some people have a tendency to over medicate.
Case in point: My father-in-law took aspirin for Arthritis pain and ended up with a bleeding ulcer from it. ;-) Mara
I tried Aleve this week because a TV commercial caught my attention. I'm surprised that it actually works. I seem to have what I would call restless-joint syndrome where things are tolerable and I'm generally good when I exercise but at night or when I'm at my desk for too long the slight pain drives me crazy. The Aleve works I have to say.
Do what works for you, but I have had a life threatening exoerience with an NSAID. A different NSAID also killed my good friend SuzAnne. Here is my discussion on that: http://www.diabeticconnect.com/discussions/10...
If you are in a lot of pain that will affect your blood sugars. Stress will affect it too. Take care and keep on coming to DC. We all vent from time to time. This is a good place to do it!
I do understand that. lol everytime my stress goes up both my BP and BGs go up. The pain makes them go up too and that also makes the pain worse. It is All a viciuos circle.
I am so used to helping others it does not come easy to ask for help. I cry when I have to even on DC or from Don. LOL I know that sounds crazy crying when asking your loved one for help, but I honestly do.
Glad the pain is only minimal tonight.
Bring it here to DC Vickie! That's one of the reasons we're here, to help each other out with the control of our condition. That includes being able to vent with someone who can at least begin to understand what you're going through because likely we've been through it ourselves.
I wouldn't know what is happening with the Novolin R. Are you saying that it is not the R that is bringing down your BG numbers, but the OTC Aleve? That's interesting.
If that is so, probably time for a medication change.
I don't know what is bringing it down really. The problem is I have to take to much of the otc. Then it stopped even taking away the pain after about three and a half days, so back to square one. The pain is so bad all I want to do is cry.
I am concerned about the swelling though. I am taking hyrocloathiazide and it is doing nothing. I have issues with my heart too so I am affraid it might have to do with that. So between the both of them I am scared. I have no insurance and cann't afford the bills if they send me to the hospital as they wanted to in Jan.
DHStold me the only way I could get insurance is if I were pregnant or under 19. LOL Like I want either one at 53. Heck I am going to be a great-grandmother in Nov.
I just want the pain to stop really. Sorry I am not above having my own pitty party now and then. That sucks though.
Thanks for letting me cry on your shoulder Jim,
Didn't know about your other problems. My bride "Jem" had heart problems (CHF with Tachycardia) for about 20 yrs before she passed.
I don't know what the person from DHS was smoking, but it must have been "good stuff" because there ARE ways to get you on medicare before 65. (I'm 59 and am on disability and Medicare and have been since 2007) If your diseases disable you, someone should help you apply for disability to the Soc Sec. Admin. You might have to get disability lawyers involved, (and they will often take your case on contingency. Paying the lawyers if you get disability may be better than paying big hospital bills and having to go bankrupt like I had to.
The heart problem will contribute to the edema. Jem was on several water pills when alive. I don't remember her being on that one you mentioned, but I was only with her for about 2.5 yrs before she passed.
Praying you can get some disability and medicare and get those problems taken care of.
I filled out a pre-qualifying app. for disability and it said I am Not Eligable, because I have not worked in the last 10 years. Ironic isn't it? I quit a good job with benifits 10 years ago to be able to take care of my parents 24/7. 3 years into it the stress induced heart problems among other things. I spent a week in the hospital at that time being pumped full of drugs to prevent a heart attack wich was starting. It worked, Thank the Lord. My Dr. at the time (also my parents Dr.) told me that I would have evntually became diabetic in about 10-20 years, but the stress hassened the process.
Now every kind of stress causes my BG to go up. Pain and my sun and heat allergies really get it up there. Not to mention how the sun/heat allergies make me look. lol I am a site with big red blotches all over my back, shoulders and leggs. Thank God it does not get my face. Long sleve shirts and long pants do not help at all just makes it worse, because it makes me hotter. Sunblocks do not help either, I've tried them all the way up to 75's. Oh, yes some of my meds. make that worse too. lol
So as to any help I just keep trying. I am not a quiter. I think one day i'll get help, but not if I give up. One step at a time. It is just that some days I want to cry and like I said. I am not above having a pitty party now and then. Thank you for being here to talk and listen. You are a good friend James.
Vickie dear: Did you fill out a pre-qualifing app for disability online? Whether you did it online, on the telephone, or face to face, don't let it be the final answer. I don't believe they can deny you just because you've not worked in 10 years. Why not take James' advice and consult an attorney? I don't know about TN, but in CA we have attorneys who specialize in Social Security Disability cases. If not SSD, try for SSI. That also comes with health insurance, I believe. I think it is Medicaid. ;-) Mara
Yes, I did Mara. I have several things going against me. First I have a partial retirement from my first husband. Just big enough to discalify me from any help (I do mean JUST).
Next is the fact that I quit my job in 2001 to care for my parents and have had not worked since then (not able to). Also that I need to talk to my Dr. to find out if they would be willing to admit that I am unable to work. LOL The funny thing is that in 5 1/2 years my retirement thing gets dropped to $250. a month. SSI is an issue of to much income right now. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining about my income (I earned every dime of it) I do not have enough for one extra thing, but my bills are paid on time every month. I have a nice home and enough food (no treats) to get through the month.No, I am not complaining, I just find the pain hard to live with. Funny how much easier it is to help someone else deal with theirs than with my own. Very little works as I have such a high pain tolerance. So if it makes me cry the pain is very bad.

You know, I'm going to wake up at 3:45AM and get ready for work tomorrow. But I want awfully to write, I feel as though I have something to say.
I wish human beings were not so complex, I wish I could be happy spending time with my mother or speaking to Heather or seeing Matthew (aka – Chase) and have the moment be simple. Cut and dry. I wish nothing bothered me, so I could be happy and people could be happy with me. I wish I never got angry or annoyed, people seem so terrible when they're angry or annoyed. How wonderful it would be to only ever be content and accepting of circumstances. How easy it is to like who I am when I am content, when I'm rational, aware.
I wish I were simple. But sometimes (too, too often) I do and say things that don't even make sense to me. I want to be fair and understanding but my impulse is always to judge and assume. I'm much better than I could and used to be, but this should not be enough. I don't feel like it should be, anyway. Perhaps I'm wrong about everything, how am I to know until the future in retrospection of today?
I've been wondering things often that don't make sense, and I wish I had someone to ask. There is a constant, nagging feeling that there is an absence in my life that should be filled. Like a missing piece of a puzzle.
Heather has changed a lot in the past year – she's still who she has always been in person, but her words lately have evidenced outside influences on her phrasing and reactions. So much is happening in her life, that I don't feel the genuine interest that used to be present when I would bring up current events in my life. I've never felt lonely before, not really, not until recently.
You know when a child stumbles and falls, how, as soon as the child stands they know immediately what face to look for to run to? I feel as though I'm looking for a face that does not exist. A person with no name or form. Heather will always be my Watson, my closest friend, the absence I feel is apart from her presence. Unrelated.
My last few posts have had a rather negative edge, when truthfully my days are much brighter due to my unofficial happiness experiment. It's just moments such as these, after a day such as this, that has me writing in a manner such as that.
Now, I should certainly sleep, as I feel whatever was pestering my subconscious has made itself known.

Clare Livens, CSE Project Manager updates
on her work in the last three months, working with practitioners and
young people to gain a better understanding of what needs to be done in Essex.
There will be two
networking forums per year in each quadrant, the themes will be the same across
all eight sessions, so you would only need to attend one to receive your annual
update. The CSE champions bulletins will increase to four per year and you will
receive them directly into your inbox in January, April, July and September.
The forums will be held in May and June and October and November and dates will
be advertised on the Learning and
Development section of the website.
The forums will
focus on
Child Sexual Exploitation Triage Team sit within Essex Police and are
responsible for the gathering and triaging of information and intelligence
around CSE. Information and intelligence about suspected CSE activity is
reported, via the CSE1 Form and/or CSE Risk Assessments, from any organisation
across the Southend, Essex and Thurrock partnerships, as well as local
community information, police and the general public. Forms or Risk Assessments
should be emailed to email@example.com
If it is a Child
Protection Referral then the referrer (referring agency) must use the
established Child Protection pathway. A Child Protection referral would be
required where there is concern that a child is suffering or is likely to
suffer significant harm.
If the referral has an urgent safeguarding requirement or it is
believed criminal offences have been disclosed, then the referral route is
through the Essex Police Force Control Room (999 or 101). The Police
Command and Control process will be used to allocate the referral for
progression by the appropriate team. CSETT will be made aware of the referral.
Police have altered their
Policy and Procedure in regards to Missing Children. Any person under the age
of 18 will never be recorded as 'Absent' and will always be recorded as a
'Missing Person'.
Where a person reported
missing is located, a vulnerability interview will be completed as soon as
possible after their return, in any case within 24 hours. A Vulnerability
interview replaces the 'Safe and Well Check' and is a more in-depth discussion
that allows for a comprehensive understanding of the Missing episode and
safeguarding opportunities to be explored. The Vulnerability interview content is
assessed and reviewed by the Missing Person Liaison Officers and shared with
social care/referred to local MACE meetings as appropriate.
CARE is a project run by the Children's Society the offers support to young people who are at medium to high risk of CSE and their families.
Since CARE has been established on the 1st November
2015 they have received 40 referrals for one to one support, and these remain
consistent. Unfortunately they cannot hold a waiting list due to the levels
of risk and are working hard to get back to referrers as soon as
possible. If you are waiting feedback then please call 01245
493311. They also offer group work for high risk young people and
welcome calls from parents who may have concerns for their child (office hours
only). All referral forms, referral criteria and service information can
be found at www.eypdas.org.uk
Recruiting opportunity - The Children's Society are looking for someone to
join the team to work with victims of CSE with an added specialism of boys and
young men. This worker will work with both males and females but seek to
increase identification of boys and young men as victims of CSE, ensuring that
CSE tools meet the needs of this group. If you are interested in applying
and joining CARE please visit this
SET CSE Strategy
The joint
Southend, Essex and Thurrock (SET) CSE Strategy is available to view on the ESCB
CSE toolkit
finally, please remember the CSE toolkit which is available from the ESCB
website, as well as other local and national resources. There is a page
specifically for practitioners on everything to do with CSE, why not save this
page under your favourites for easy access and to check for updates.
TRAINING: Working with young people at risk of or experiencing CSE
This course on 2 March 2016 will cover:
~ Understanding
the issue, risk factors, identification and how to respond
~ Understanding
why victims are difficult to engage with and explore methods to overcome
~ Understanding
of the law in relation to CSE
~ What
are the latest recognised models of CSE?
~ Examples
of good practice and useful resources in working with young people
out more and book.
CSE National awareness day – 18th March
Essex, along with
Southend and Thurrock Safeguarding Children Boards are launching their
web-based I didn't know CSE campaign
to coincide with the CSE National Awareness Day on 18th March – look
out for more information about this soon. We hope all our champions will
support us in promoting this campaign.
Seriously awkward campaign
The Seriously
Awkward campaign is run by the Children's Society and based on the
challenges we see teenagers facing in our services across the country.
Evidence shows that despite 16
and 17 year olds being more at risk of exploitation, they do not get the
protection and support they need to stay safe.
Parents against child sexual exploitation (PACE)
The Parents against child sexual exploitation (PACE)
website is a really useful resource, for parents and we encourage you to
familiarise yourself with the information available including an online
learning course for parents, in order to share with parents you may work with.

Google Book Search is a controversial initiative by the California-based search engine company Google to dramatically increase the amount of print literature available for on-line consumption. Google's strategy is double-pronged, involving negotiations with both publishers and libraries to scan print works and convert them into searchable digital formats. While Google claims the project provides a benefit to the public good because it offers increased access to print texts, opposition has been fierce, resulting by early 2006 in at least two separate lawsuits arguing that the nature of Google Book Search constitutes an infringement of copyright law. Despite continuing litigation, the project is currently in beta-testing, is operational, and is growing steadily, boasting over one hundred thousand searchable texts.
This evolving project, as well as the controversy surrounding it, raises questions regarding intellectual property rights, authorship, access to information, and the shifting material nature of the book in the face of digital culture.
In October 2004 the online search engine company Google announced at the annual international Frankfurt Book Fair its intentions to launch "The Google Print Library Project," an ambitious program whose ultimate, far-reaching goal would be the online availability of all print books.
Google Book Search has two divisions: the Print Publisher Program, which works in conjunction with publishing companies to make portions of their print books available online for promotional purposes, and the Print Library Project, which scans and digitizes the contents of a number of major cooperating libraries, including Stanford University Library, Harvard University's Widener Library, Oxford Library, the University of Michigan Library, and the New York Public Library.
Google has made arrangements with these libraries to scan their books and then host the full-text documents on secure servers. Yet although Google plans to digitize each and every book–in its entirety–on these libraries' shelves, it has also made multiple assurances on its website that readers will not have full access to copyright-protected texts. Rather, readers will only have access to "snippets" of the text surrounding their search items, which Google argues fully complies with "fair use" copyright rules. Only books that are in the public domain, they insist repeatedly, will be offered in their entirety.
Controversy surrounding The Google Print Library Project has been forceful. In late 2005, a group of opponents, including the American Association of Publishers and the Authors Guild, filed separate lawsuits against Google. The focus of the suits is what publishers see as a violation of copyright law. Another focus is Google's intention to scan all books unless the publisher explicitly "opts-out," a policy that essentially places the burden of non-participation upon the publisher, rather than upon Google. The publishers' opposition to Google Book Search resulted in a three-month hiatus to allow publishers more time to "opt out" of the program. Despite this concession, litigation against the Google remains in process at the time of this writing.
Research Context:
In terms of its technological capabilities, Google Book Search is perhaps best thought about in the research context of information storage and retrieval known as data mining. An innovator in "crawling" technology–i.e., technology that sends out probing entities known as "crawlers" or "web bots," to search, index, and catalogue information on Internet web pages–Google holds a patent for its "connectivity-based" search strategies and is an acknowledged forerunner in the arena of information management. Google Book Search is of particular interest to the field of information retrieval because this particular use of its technology raises a host of questions about issues related to intellectual property rights, authorship, access, and the materiality of the book in digital culture.
Technical Analysis:
The fact that the technology behind Google Book Search is not entirely transparent is not very surprising. Google, after all, has been notably silent regarding the details of its 2003 patent for "interconnectivity-based" search capabilities. Regardless of this opacity, however, it is clear that the Book Search project makes use of computer technology to fulfill at least two broad functions: conversion & hosting and searching & retrieval.
The conversion and hosting of books requires a conjunction of capabilities, including initial access to the printed text, scanning and conversion, and secure hosting once a book has been converted. For purposes of searching and retrieving, Google presumably makes use of its already impressive data-mining capabilities–with the difference that the infusion of book data will offer yet more data for Google to mine, and more data for its users to search.
Evaluation of Opportunities/Limitations for the Transliteracies Project:
Google Book Search is an object ripe for study by the Transliteracies Project, especially in regard to how its development will shape legislation and set precedents regarding authorship and intellectual property rights (IPR) in the digital era. While conventions regarding intellectual property and copyright laws have a rich history, there has been an explosion of debate in the past ten years regarding the management of digital property, especially in terms of how it is protected, sold, and disseminated across the World Wide Web (see, for example, Lawrence Lessig's Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace as an example of this increased urgency of interest).
In this debate, the digitized book becomes an object of scrutiny that raises many questions: Is the digitized book an object? Is it a property? Is it a commodity, and, if so, who holds the rights to profit from its reproduction? In essence, projects such as Google Book Search put publishers and authors of print works in the position of having to reckon with the subtleties and complexities of digital culture. Conversely, lawsuits about property rights filed by publishers and authors caution business giants like Google to tread very carefully in what, until recently, has been a print-dominated cultural domain.
Apart from the controversy surrounding the legality of Google Book Search, the potential ramifications for reading practices are fascinating to contemplate. If Google does succeed in its ambition to create, in its own words, "… a world where all books are online and searchable [their emphasis]," then its claims about access could really be put to the test because we could see (or not) Google's egalitarian dream of equal book access put into practice. Additionally, the ability to search any text in its entirety from the convenience of one's own private or public workspace would be a decided–if not invaluable–boon to most researchers.
On the other hand, Google's status as the dominant business working on this project raises troubling questions in terms of access. For starters, how would the introduction of a central "authority" to which digitized books must conform change the way information is disseminated? Book collections have traditionally been distributed widely, not only geographically, but according to varying levels of ownership and organization. One benefit of this arrangement is that if a reader/researcher cannot locate a book in her local library, she can visit another institution and very likely find the book she is looking for. If all digitized books were stored, maintained, and organized by Google, what recourse would the reader/researcher have if, for whatever reason, she found Google to be a dissatisfactory gatekeeper of this vast digital archive? Furthermore, Google's status as a for-profit enterprise may set off warning bells for traditional libraries that house print works–libraries which are typically not-for-profit. What would it mean to confer all of their treasures–albeit in digital form–upon one dominant profit-making entity?
In addition to issues of intellectual property, authorship, and access, there is at least one other intriguing layer to the Google Book controversy: the status of what a book becomes if it now exists as both a print document and an entirely searchable digital file. By divorcing words from the printed page, Google Book Search strips content from its traditional form and in principle is free to reconfigure that form in any way it deems fit. Whatever form the object ultimately takes, it will undoubtedly complicate cherished notions about the book's status as a material object.

The Marsh Harbour Port is responsible for roughly $40 million of government revenue every year. It is the heart of Abaco's economy, as the majority of all goods must flow through this facility. The freight captains who use these docks weekly realize these facts and are understandably upset about the Port's state of disrepair.
One such captain, Duke of Topsail pilot Michael Bethel, feels the most serious of these concerns relate to the channel markers and buffers along the dock.
Mr. Bethel noted that the current system of markers and buoys, which guide millions of dollars' worth of goods in weekly, is disorganized and haphazard. More upsetting still is that brand new, brightly coloured buoys have been in storage at the Port since November 2013.
Shipping companies, such as Abaco Shipping and Carib Freight, have a long history of volunteering time and resources to maintain the Port and harbour in areas where government fell short.
"That's the way Abaconians have always done it," said Mr. Bethel. So it was perplexing to the captains when, despite offering to lay the buoys at no cost to the government since 2013, they were refused.
It was not until this week that, after again approaching the authorities, they were granted permission to lay out the buoys.
Marques Williams, Port Administrator, when asked about the situation said he recognized the importance of working with the private sector. He said there is currently a partnership underway between the government, the shipping companies and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force who are also responsible for maintaining safety in Bahamian harbours.
Mr. Bethel said he was pleased with this development and progress can now be made.
Unfortunately the channel markers are not the only things captains take issue with at the Port.
A water pump has been broken for one and a half years, the gate to the freight area has been broken for three years, the dock bumpers need to be replaced and the bathrooms are in deplorable condition. While the last issue, the bathrooms, is relatively minor in the scope of things, it is still unsuitable for this top, public money-making facility to be so poorly maintained.
While the shipping companies replace the bumpers themselves as they can, issues such as the broken gate remain a nagging problem.
One captain wondered how the government can spend $30 million for a new Port in North Abaco when the current one is in need of so much maintenance.

Shame you won't make it Theo. It's two years since I had a conversation with you at the London Show in which I floated the idea of producing a CD of Draw files of maps, based on OpenStreetMap data.

I am using !LIRC 1.86a (28 May 2012), it is now running on the Raspberry Pi, it was just a matter of ignoring the error as it turned out. OS5.20 on the Iyonix gives the same error. It appears to be associated with a call to "OS_SubstituteArgs" in 'ScriptLib'.

Following the Twitter feed, I have two questions.
If Impression-X is 45% 32bit and a beta1 version is available, doesn't this imply that half the functionality is unavailable?
The new board. It is nice that we are seeing some new hardware, though I suspect that what we are lacking the most is software.
Bryan Hogan said, of the new board, "Design done for industrial RISC OS clients"2. Simon Inns, I hope you are reading this. For a group of RISC OS based companies to get this together shows either insanity or the assertation that "There is no commercial value in RISC OS anyway; it's a fringe OS which is only of interest to hobbyists; the castle license restricts only those who have no commercial interest in an OS which has, let's face it, zero commercial value."3 is extremely inaccurate. After all, what psycho invests in making new hardware for a dead duck operating system that has zero value? Hmmm, let me think about that… <ponder> <ponder> <ponder>
1 If the software is this incomplete, surely it should be an Alpha release? But then, maybe people wouldn't want to pay £50 for an alpha version.

Five hours and no new tweets. Hmmm…
The problem is that, currently, there is no defined protocol for where peripherals should be mapped in nor is there much in the way of autoprobe facilities. It isn't like the PCI bus.

All kidnapped by a combined squad from Thames Valley Park and Cardinal Place
Basic issue, you believe the HAL should present a standard hardware model to the OS with a set of present/absent flags for the devices so the OS knows what it has to work with in terms of functions rather than the specific hardware. If so, I agree.
|David Feugey (2125) 1934 posts
The Pi case is a bit different, since some external components did change. i.MX6 is much more integrated. Only one board (the IoT one) is different from the others. Support of Hummingboard, CuBox, Wandboard, Udoo and Utilite should really be the minimum. More hardware = more value for the i.MX6 port. And more value for RISC OS as a whole.
|Chris Hall (132) 2401 posts
Highlights from the show:
ROOL had an updated DDE – many of the manuals have been updated although they estimated that the PRMs would be about 1.5 man years of work to update. The issue with the Pi Compute module, where RISC OS could not read/write the EMMC device, has now been solved and updated roms will be produced in due course, as the new sources are put into CVS.
CJE described progress with their portable and showed a keyboard unit developed for it. They also has KVMs suitable for newer machines and high quality USB audio.
RISC OSM, the open mapping software, were showing a 4k display, driven by a Pi with MDF tweaks, showing off their mapping.
R-Comp were selling DeleGate – the ultimate waste/recycling/undelete bin.
Impression X was on sale at £50 (normal price £60) which gets you the next four updates or a year whichever is shorter after which the software continues working but you need to renew to get further updates. It requires Aemulor to run as the 32 bitting is not finished but there are many bug fixes.
Raspberry Pi slow upload speed to the network (via LanMan) has been cured.
RISC OS 5.22 is expected to include Pandaboard when it is released.
The big announcement was that pre orders (a deposit of £150 against an expected price of around £699 but described as 'similar in price to the ARMiniX') were being taken for a new computer from R-Comp. This has been possible as an off-shoot from a partnership between four UK companies, a Swedish company, two German companies and a Dutch company. One of the partners is a hardware manufacturer and their principal financial interest is in producing a modern RISC OS computer with fast SATA drives (suitable for rock-solid server applications), gigabit hardware-supported network and high spec video. With a solid state drive of 128Gb the machine was demonstrated and looked fast. It is based on the Freescale i.MX6 which is on a processor board so that there are two boards connected like a sandwich. It has 2Gbytes of DDR 3 RAM and its raw CPU speed is about the same as the pandaboard. Although it is quad core, RISC OS uses only one core. Video is currently as good as the Pandaboard but that is simply the current state of development, which is continuing. PhotoDesk 3.10 was also demonstrated on the new machine. The South West show is the next show where we might see the new computer on sale and early orderers are likely to get their machines 'by Christmas'. Currently CMOS in hardware and a real time clock are being worked on. Andrew concluded his talk by saying that software developers for the new platform were welcome and that the new machine was the first of recent hardware that could be construed as a complete replacement for RiscPC and Iyonix as it would be more capable in all areas.
ROOL said that in terms of 'being a finished product', the Pandaboard had now edged ahead of the Pi and so when 5.22 is produced it is likely to include the OMAP4 platform.

Is there a website for impressionX? Can non-attendees buy a copy yet?
|Rick Murray (539) 7497 posts
That's exactly what the HAL is for, but, then, the HAL has to know about the specifics of the hardware permutations that may be present. Case in point, as mentioned above, the Pi B vs B+. Yes, some hardware did change, but this may be true of many boards. Why produce a clone of the exact same thing? The BananaPi is different yet again (and this time a completely different SoC).
Any details on what has changed in the software?
Certainly, the current PRMs are way out of date and the vol 5a is a messy way to handle an errata set. All of that information ideally ought to be folded into the main four volumes, with additional chapters for all the new stuff (Toolbox, for example). It's certainly a huge task.
If I can make one request – please please please get rid of those "this call is for internal use only" pages with no further documentation. Mark it as being an "internal" call, then document it. We can look in the sources now, so the lack of description is just an annoyance.
Does this mean that somebody has the text of the PRMs in something that resembles a file format known to modern man?
Ah, that explains how that works, then. Thanks for clarifying it.
At least it won't be like iOS8. My iPad said I needed 5.3GB to install (4.9GB for iOS8.1) so I tried doing it via iTunes (apparently needs 6-700MB that way) and the iTunes estimation said the download would take eight hours. Then nine. Then ten. Then eleven. When it hit twelve hours, I aborted the download and closed iTunes.
The first question that should be on everybody's lips is – what are the likely applications of this? What is RISC OS being used for that would interest a manufacturer to produce a new piece of hardware?
I fear that RISC OS's lack of inter-process memory protection and userland modules running with kernel privilege may be something of a turn-off for serious server use. This isn't to say it is impossible – for all we know work is going on behind the scenes to transition user modules to SYS mode, locking out SVC mode for kernel exclusive access. If so, I would support such a change (even if it would render everything ever written incompatible). You can placate me with proper Unicode support, I'm easily pleased. ;-)
You do know that high-spec video is so not a criteria for a server?
I would hope that the BananaPi would put the frighteners on the RaspberryPi foundation to get them talking to Broadcom about a Pi Master in 2016 or 2017. The BananaPi, supposed to look and feel a lot like the Pi we know, has SATA and Gigabit networking on board, $59 at Amazon.com. The graphics chip isn't so good, so this is somewhere a Pi Master could excel.
<aside> http://www.bananapi.com/index.php/component/content/article?layout=edit&id=59 – home routers are already little computers, but this might be the first time anybody has tried to make a home router that is a little computer. Potentially kind of cool, potentially a security nightmare. </aside>
Hmmm, I think the incentive to start some sort of multicore support has just walked in the door. Hello.
Isn't that just so 1990? ;-)
Yay! It blows my mind that these little SoCs don't have this as standard. Or, in the case of the Beagle, they do but fitting the battery is a pain.
<aside> In the case of the Beagle, what power is required for the RTC? 3V? Could I run it from two AA cells in a holder with a diode in-line? </aside>
? I only used a friend's Iyonix for short periods so I'm not really aware of the spec or capabilities (except the USB transfers being appallingly slow, but I believe that issue was subsequently fixed). We're going back a long time (Frobnicate issue 29, page 7, or listen to a podcast read by me seven years ago (embarrassing!!!).
That said, a machine that I used to use a lot is a RiscPC. With the exception of podules (which can't be supported due to technical reasons, though if Jon Kortink was still around here, I bet he'd have some sort of GPIO→Podule interface working), the Pi already offers better. Better speed, better graphics, better networking, better memory. And the Pi is the cheap itty-bitty board. Beagles, Pandas, Kittens, whatever – they're all higher spec. So, yeah, I don't quite understand the statement as we've already left the older boxes behind.
This is, however, all good news. To have RISC OS now usable on a SATA-capable multicore device… this is a huge step forward. <smile!>

Well we use most of the 1GiB RAM on a Pandaboard in order to speed up the conversion time for OpenStreetMap data. For the British Isles data, the node index will not fit in RAM on a 512MiB machine and conversion would take several days. On a Pandaboard it takes 14 hours. With faster storage you could really reduce that.
At present we cannot convert the data for Germany or France in one go because:
A machine with 2GiB and faster storage could make this kind of task possible.

The 4k display was being shown by Leo White. It was lucky chance that he happened to be next to the Sine Nomine Software stand where I was selling RiscOSM. When I heard such a large screen was on display, I suggested that displaying a gigantic map might be a genuinely useful thing one could do with it.
The map on show would have been A1 in size if printed! It took absolutely ages to render though — about 20 minutes maybe? That's why Leo exported a sprite and displayed that.

Unlike the history of " the Three Bears and also Goldilocks," where Goldilocks tried resting on two beds before she discovered that the next bed was perfect on her behalf -- my nickname is Goldilocks, but this is not a fairy tale. This is a TRUE STORY once I ordered my first sleep about discovering my perfect latex mattress 40 years ago, and my hard research to locate a replacement. I used to babysit our friend's children, while growing up. She asked me to her home one day to propose I purchase a latex mattress like hers when she discovered I Would gotten engaged. She yanked the sheets off her king-size mattress so that she could show me how the bed had not sagged, and pointed out the way the edges and sides were firm after an exceptional period of time. I hope I really could remember the exact quantity of years she'd told me that she and her husband were utilizing their mattress, but I actually do remember that because of her small demonstration, I believed that I wanted to purchase a latex mattress much like it although I later discovered that it'd cost me about twice what the common 'spring' beds were selling for during the time. I recalled that whenever we had shifted south, my mother had purchased a lot of her furniture from a merchant at a huge furniture store in a town. He said that although the retailer didn't stock this mattress, it could be ordered by him, and that I asked him to order a good latex mattress for me personally "SIGHT UNSEEN." mattress-inquirer As we became older my husband and that I slept well without experiencing pains or any pains, and we partly feature our independence from the health we appreciate for this latex mattress and medication! It was not until regarding the 33rd year once we pointed out that the cover exposing the latex in a few locations and was deteriorating, therefore we only set it in a zippered mattress cover. Once we started noticing body indentations and small sagging, this worked well until the year. We then began our research to buy another latex mattress want it. I searched online for that latex mattress supplier, but was unhappy to discover that their opportunities had shut. A neighbor suggested we go to a tiny, local bed manufacturer within our place whose family was building mattresses for 3 decades. I wanted to be sure he may provide the same latex as that of our first latex mattress. I told the owner the name of its company, and that I remember him saying, "All latex will be the same." He was wrong! Having purchased three mattresses in just a 3-year time, I believe I'm qualified to document: ALL latex isn't the exact same! {About 12 months later, we recognized we slept as easily because our fresh latex bed was sagging with moderate valleys on either part of the mattress where we each lay. We called the maker. It took some time for him ahead check into it, however he said that it didn't appear to be it was sagging when it was seen by him. I advised him that when he 'd be named by me, I'd told him he wouldn't see the sagging -- he had to lay about the mattress to have the valleys. He did not place about the bed, but he did drive down his fingers in to the mattress in several different places and he was amazed to view how deep his fingers "sunk down" to the mattress... Like there was very little support. He obtained a new latex mattress to replace it, but this time he bought the firmest one he could. Till we'd had it practically one year, this second latex replacement mattress did well, after which once again we recognized sagging with slight valleys where we lay. This time I did so some investigating and found that the company that made my 35-year-old latex mattress was in business again, but the closest shop that carried their manufacturer was three hours away. We made the vacation one weekend and then realize that the way it had been making its latex mattresses had been cheapened by the organization. We found a large dice of stable latex in an obvious zippered plastic case beside a latex mattress, which led us to think the mattress was manufactured from this solid latex. But when we removed the mattress to view if it was 'major' latex like our 35-yearold latex bed, we were extremely surprised to find out how lightweight this new mattress was! After conversing with the storeowner, we discovered that the old company had offered its organization along with its business name, and also the new entrepreneurs were sandwiching a thin little bit of latex between sheets of memory foam, and edging it with memory foam around the external edges, which he explained might increase the life of the so called 'latex' mattress. We subsequently discovered that the bed was accomplished ONONE-SIDE ONLY. I'll never know the way these new capabilities could benefit the buyer, but I will observe this' life socalled 'latex' bed is reduced, which obviously rewards the mattress makers.|Now he ordered the firmest one he could, although he obtained a new latex mattress to replace it. Until we'd had it virtually one-year, this second latex replacement bed did well, and after that yet again we noticed sagging with small valleys where we put. This time around used to do some and discovered that the business that made my 35-year old latex bed was in business again, however the best retailer that moved their company was three hours apart. We created the journey one weekend and then realize that the business had cheapened just how it had been building its latex mattresses. We found a large dice of solid latex in a transparent zippered case beside a latex mattress, which brought us to think that the mattress was made of this solid latex. But when we lifted the mattress to view if it was 'heavy' latex like our 35-year old latex mattress, we were very shocked to discover how lightweight this new mattress was! After conversing with the storeowner, we discovered the old company had bought its organization along with its firm name, along with the new homeowners were sandwiching a skinny bit of latex among sheets of memory foam, and edging it with memory foam around the external edges, which he explained could expand the life of the socalled 'latex' bed. We subsequently discovered that the mattress was accomplished USING ONE-SIDE ONLY. I'll never understand how these new features could benefit the buyer, but I will see how this' life so-called 'latex' bed is shortened, which clearly advantages the bed suppliers.

The days are getting so short. It's still dark when I get up in the morning, and the sun has set by suppertime. Autumn's spectacular display of colour has been swept away by the November storms, and now the trees stand bare and waiting.
Autumn is over, and winter has not yet begun. We have feasted in celebration of Thanksgiving (except for our friends in the States), the ritual of Hallowe'en has passed in a shower of candy, and the season of Advent will soon begin. Before the last-minute Christmas panic sets in, before the cold weather arrives to stay, there are a few precious days. This is the time for looking back and planning ahead, reflection and preparation, as we anticipate the miracle of Christmas and the gift of light.

Some folks in my writers' group at Lansing Community Library have asked me about my blogging process. I thought I'd write-up a few things as my count nears 14,000 hits.
1. People do not want to read long paragraphs online so I work to keep my work spaced out…this was pointed out to me by Dan Veneer at the Lansing Star when he did an article on my blog about rural broadband.
2. Readers and search engines like content and they like consistent posts…during my rural broadband series, my site visits went up by over 100 percent. At the end of 2010, when I started this blog, there had been 804 hits. One year later, after writing about my #rural broadband journey, the hits had increased to 3619. Below is a link to some of the cumulative knowledge I gained and recorded in my rural broadband series.
3. International people are reading my blog, this surprised me and it is only through the WordPress statistics that I discovered this fact. I am still waiting for the tool to discern between readers and search engines. In the meantime, it gives me pause and reminds me of what a bubble I am in here in the US, I need to look for and read more international blogs. Special shout out to my friend in Greece, I think those 18 hits are real:-)
4. Connecting to Twitter and Facebook and other social media does spread my blog, I have had many Facebook friends share my blog, a big compliment! Also, a fellow blogger, Simon at Living in Dryden, graciously talked about and linked my blog to his, note this has led to many referrals.
5. People like visuals, my photo essay on a fall walk with our dogs was my biggest single day hit with 110 hits.https://itsaboutthestory.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/2329/
6. I enjoy the challenge of search engine optimization. By using links and titles with key words in them, I have found my blog posts showing up on the first few pages of goggle searches. Below is a screen shot of a blog that showed up on page 2, at number 15 of 107,000 results, not too shabby.
7. Tags also work, I received a nice e-mail note from a sports writer in Vegas after writing a post about the movie 42 and Branch Rickey. This was especially fun because a gentleman in my writing group has commented on my audacity to write about sports, as a non-athletic woman:-)
In an unrelated situation, a WSKG reporter, Matt Richmond from the Innovation Trail, found my blog and requested an interview with me on rural broadband. I was especially complemented because also interviewed for that segment were two thought leaders, Pat Pryor, a Tompkins County Legislator, and David Salway, Director of the NY Broadband Program Office.
8. There are some very good books about social media and much of what I learned, I read in…The New Rules of Marketing and PR. Also, big shout out to my strategic communications professor at Ithaca College, Steve Seidman who supported my first blogging, social media efforts. He blogs on Posters and Election Propaganda with interesting content and great visuals.
9. I really enjoy reading my friends' blogs. One friend is from my writers' group and posts about her life in this area, my adopted home for 20 years: LansingIthaca. Another friend lives in Jamaica and writes an elegant blog about fashion. It is deliberate and focuses on one aspect per post. http://sweetofstyle.wordpress.com/
10. WordPress.com allows me to write in an uninhibited way, sure I get criticisms but I get compliments too. The more I write, the more resilient I become and the more I learn. I have read quotes similar to this one by Taylor Swift, I agree with it:
I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse."
― Taylor Swift, http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=I+write+to+understand

Aston-Blair is a producer of "precious metal alloys and other specialized alloys for commercial and industrial use" (Aston-Blair Case, 1999: M-6, 13). At the time of the case, this company is experiencing difficulties due to the economic slowdown that occurred in the early 1990s and the declining price of gold, caused by the start of the Gulf War. At the end of an executive committee meeting, Wynn Aston III, CEO of Aston-Blair, charged Peter Casey, Vice President of Marketing, and Chris Trott, Vice President of Corporate Planning, with examining the company's forecasting processes in order to achieve better inventory control, financial planning, and improve production scheduling. Aston believed that "poor forecasting was one of several underlying factors contributing to the firm's poor performance" (Aston-Blair Case, 1999: M-6, 13).
Trott and Casey assembled a task force to investigate the forecasting problem. They mandated that the task force would focus its research on the Marketing Division, because this is where the final forecasts for product demand are created.
They allocated members to the task force and decided that Michael Bacon, Trott's special assistant, would lead the task force. During the first meeting of the task force, it was quickly decided that the team should be divided into three different subgroups. One group (Holt and the three product managers) would focus on the Marketing Division, one person (Meir) would focus on gathering data for the new forecasting model, and one group (Bacon, Reiss, and Bodin) would concentrate on the Sales Division's inputs into the forecast.
The subgroups worked on their analysis to meet the August 4th deadline set by Casey and Trott. Shortly before the deadline, Bodin presented Bacon with a report that exposed some "systematic biases in the Sales Division's inputs into the forecast" (Aston-Blair Case, 1999:...

Solar energy is an exciting renewable energy source that, if right for you, can save homeowners significant amounts of money on their heating, electricity, and water bills. There are a number of alternative energy sources available, so how can you know if solar power is right for you? When making the decision to switch from traditional energy sources, you'll want to consider a few things.
First, you will want to make sure that solar energy is a viable option for your location. Take a few days to look at the patterns of sunlight on your property, and note any areas that get full sun throughout the day. These are likely the best candidates for your panels. Likewise, make note of any areas that are mostly shaded. You'll want to avoid these areas, or modify them to create better sunlight conditions. Always remember that even if a small area of a solar panel is shaded, it can significantly reduce the potential output. Take the time to do a thorough analysis of your property, ideally with the help of a professional, to ensure you'll get your money's worth.
Next, contact your municipal offices to determine if there are any restrictions or bylaws that apply to your area. Some municipalities have building height restrictions, or may require that you get permission from your neighbours before beginning to build. Others require that the installation be supervised by a licensed electrician, or restrict the types of grid tie-in systems you can use. It's important to get all the information before you begin to build; Omissions in this phase of planning can mean a lot of money wasted having to redo portions of the installation.
Finally, research solar panel costs and make sure you know exactly what you'll need. A simple, low-output solar panel is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased for a few hundred dollars, but a full solar setup that generates enough juice to power a whole house will often cost fifteen thousand dollars or more. Talk to several reputable companies that do installations in your area, and if any offer free consultations or quotes, don't hesitate to schedule one! Everyone's needs will be different, so make sure you have a solid idea of exactly what it is you need to ensure the quotes you get are accurate. Don't forget to plan for battery banks, grid tie-in systems, and any permit or inspection costs that may apply in your area.
A solid plan and thorough research will ensure that you can make an informed decision about using solar energy in your home. There are many useful resources online that can be helpful in the early planning phases, but your best source of information will be your local municipal offices, and the solar energy professionals in your area. If you decide that solar energy is right for you and your family, you'll join the millions of people around the world who have made the choice to save money by adopting this environmentally-friendly new renewable energy source!
