Send your technical support query to us by
completing the form below.
What is the fastest print speed?
A maximum speed of 130 A3 or 11x17 per minute.
How many ink colours are available?
13 Standard colours are available. A custom colour service is also available, please see the consumables section of this web site.
Can the ink colour in a drum be changed? If so what is the best way to do this?
Yes, the ink colour used in a SeriDrum can be changed. However it is advisable to change to a colour of similar strength.
For example changing from a dark colour to a light colour will take more time and more ink than changing from a light colour to a dark colour.
Run the old ink out by putting the new ink cartridge into the drum and then creating a 50% tint over an A3 or 11x17 page. You may need to extend the leading edge to prevent wrap jams. Depending on the colours being changed, the print speed and the paper being used this method should change the colour within approximately 300 impressions.
When I switch on the SeriPrinter it gives a Paper jam 3 error.
Check that a sheet of paper is not rolled up under the lamp box. If this is not the lamp box detection sensor may require cleaning or replacement.
During printing a paper jam 4 error occurs.
This jam occurs when a sheet of paper is not detected exiting the machine.
1. Check the paper size is not too narrow or too short.
2. The 3rd vacuum bed sensor may need cleaning or replacing.

About the Cancer Care Plan Builder
Journey Forward's Cancer Care Plan Builder is helping set a new standard in care.
- Journey Forward Care Plans are aligned with the Commission on Cancer (CoC) 2015 Standards 3.1 - 3.3. See A Solution for Complying with Standard 3.3: Survivorship Care Planning, The CoC Source, December 2013.
- Journey Forward Care Plans meet the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations from their 2005 report, "From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition."
- Primary care providers strongly agree that Journey Forward Treatment and Survivorship Care Plans are easy to understand (95.7%), the right length (73.9%), address the right topics (95.7%), are useful in talking with patients about survivorship plans (91.3%), and improve communication with oncologists (74.4%) and with patients (74.4%). See also "Primary care providers' evaluation of survivorship care plans" (J Clin Oncol 30, 2012 (suppl 34; abstr 188).13
Components of a Survivorship Care Plan
Care Plans created with the SCPB have these components:
- Care team contact information to facilitate the coordination of care
- Background information on diagnosis, staging and other major comorbid conditions
- Brief summary of the planned and actual treatment
- Schedule for follow-up care including test/visit, provider to contact, and the timing/frequency
- A psychosocial assessment
- Information on symptom management, possible late effects of treatment, symptoms to watch for, what to expect, etc.
Survivorship Care Plans are typically created by an oncology nurse, a nurse navigator or a lay nurse. Less often they are completed by the oncologist. Generally:
- Sections 1-3 (care team contacts, background information and treatment summary) are filled out in advance of meeting with the patient.
- Sections 4 and 5 (follow-up schedule and psychosocial assessment) are filled out with the patient.
- Section 6 may be discussed with the patient and is, ideally, provided as take-home information.
Data Sharing Opportunity
The sections of the Care Plan that takes the most time to fill out are sections 1 - 3, care team contacts (providers), background information and treatment summary. Fortunately, most of this data already exists in the practice's cancer registry. As much as 80% of the first 3 sections can be pre-populated from data in your registry.
The SCPB creates an individual file for each patient and each Care Plan. Care Plan files have the extension .scpb. However, they are actually XML files with a defined XML schema. That means that if you are able to export patient data in an XML format, it is possible for your registry to populate many of the fields in the SCPB.
Typical Workflow
As mentioned previously, the Care Plan is completed by the oncology practice overseeing the patient. Generally, these people do not have access to the registry. How then does a Care Plan get initiated? In some practices, the oncology provider will send a list of patient records numbers with a request for the exported files to their registrar. In other practices, the exports are done on a pre-arranged schedule. In both these instances, the exported Care Plan files are typically saved to a secured, shared network drive available to both the registrar and the oncology practice.
Some registry vendors, like C/NExT, enable oncology practices to have access to the registry with permissions limited to exporting Care Plans only.
Technical Overview
Here you can download technical instructions for exporting XML files that can be read by and completed in the SCPB: How to Export an SCPB Care Plan from a Cancer Registry System.
Care Plan Templates, Field Database & XML Schema
The SCPB has templates for several common cancer types, including:
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Lung cancer
- Lymphoma
- Generic (for other cancer types)
The SCPB also enables users to create custom templates.
Each cancer-specific template has an associated XML schema. Those schema are attached below. Also below you will find an Excel workbook with the database of fields in each Care Plan template. On your end, you will need to create a report template for exporting patient data based on each of the 5 schemas.
Of course, you will also need to implement an "Export Survivorship Care Plan" option within your registry interface. This function will export all available data for a specific patient or group of patients based on the report templates described above. It is up to you whether you want to enable Care Plans to be exported individually, as a batch file or both. We find that both methods are desirable.

Data analysis & data visualization best practices for Business Intelligence (P3)
Heard of the KISS principle? You probably have – Keep It Simple Stupid. For the most part, this concept can (and should) be applied to data visualization and Business Intelligence (BI).
As a general rule, data is most easily consumed, understood and acted upon when its graphical representation is in its most elementary form. Flashy visualizations may grab a report consumers' attention, but often do so at the expense of the core message, trend or pattern that the imagery is intended to convey. Analytical reports are inherently detailed and complex. Data visualization, therefore, must aid people in interpreting, understanding and analyzing that information to support fundamental decision-making. Infographics of any type are made redundant if they distract or detract from the underlying data.
For more on the correct application of data visualizations, check out our formative blog posts Data analysis & data visualization best practices for Business Intelligence (P1), Data analysis & data visualization best practices for Business Intelligence (P2) and Business Intelligence: Intuitive vs cool data visualization and infographics.
Today's data visualization tip: Interactivity / animations are good and bad
Moving components and animations within a graph, chart or map grasp the attention of users, but if too overt, can obscure other important information. So stick to the basics, and continually question their intended purpose, as a method for reassessing whether the desired outcome or affect is being achieved.
Beneficial interactivity
However, it is also true that certain interactivity can deconstruct complex data sets, enhance information absorption, connect quantitative with qualitative data and real-world events. Features with these constructive capabilities include:
- Rollovers
- Pop-ups
- Zoom
- Drill down or through
- Filters
Beneficial animation: Demonstrating change over time
Full-blown animations are rarely necessary in the context of BI. Demonstrating change over time is the exception that proves this particular rule.
Traditionally, line graphs have been used to demonstrate change over time. A line graph is perfectly adequate when solely visualizing time-based data such as number of sales per month. However, a line graph is inadequate for measuring change over time AND comparing the relationship between two or more values.
Data visualization guru, Stephen Few, explains the usefulness of animation (moving objects within a chart) in his 2007 paper Data Visualization Past, Present, and Future:
"Consider the correlation between marketing expenses and resulting sales. The best way to examine this correlation at a particular point in time is by using a scatterplot, with marketing expenses measured along the X-axis (the horizontal axis), sales revenues along the Y-axis (the vertical axis), and a separate data point for individual items, such as one for each state, totaling fifty data points in all. If we want to see if the nature of this correlation has changed over the course of time, however, this correlation cannot be represented as effectively using a line graph, so what can we do to display it? The answer is that we can animate the scatterplot, allowing the data points representing marketing expenses and sales revenues for each state to move inside the scatterplot to show how these values have changed through time."
Measuring change over time: Four types
Graphical animations can be used to measure four distinct characteristics of change over time, including:
- Trend: The direction of the movement of a particular value over time (eg: trending up or down)
- Pattern of change: The movement of a particular value over time (left, right, up or down)
- Speed of change: The rate of change of a particular value over a specified period of time
- Scale of change: The difference between a particular value at one specific point in time compared to another

WEST CORK, IE - Deirdre Goggin was the star of the show on her home road in Goleen when riding a treble at the beautiful Causeway venue on Sunday last.
Two of the winners were for her brother Micheal. In the grade A & B Pace Rhyds Ponder set the early fractions leading to the first and second turns heading to the third turn Goggin sent Saunders Paris to the front and from here to the last turn they were in command.
They were roared home by the local partisan crowd and were four lengths in front at the finish .
Saunders Picasso another Goggin trained inmate was making his road debut and ram out an easy winner in the grade E Pace. This time the winner was in front from the start and when Van Helsing made a mistake at the second turn Picasso was clear and won easily.
The third leg of the Deidre Goggin treble came aboard Gadgie Pan in the Grade C & D . This one has had a few niggling problems during the season and put them behind him today winning in good style .
Fair Enough who was placed third in the All Ireland was back to Grade C today and with Matt O Reilly in the Saddle jumped off in front and were not for catching.
"I gave him a week or two to recover but I will run him during the Summer"' said Chris O Reilly owner of the winner.
Kentucky Finale has found a few smart Novices a bit too good for him over the last few runs but looked a different horse today disposing of his only rival Captain Morgan in the opening Novice Pace. He will also be kept going for the turf season .
So Goleen brought the curtain down on the Winter season .
The turf season opens in Cork on Sunday 20th May at Inchadoney Beach .
Portmarnock Raceway in Dublin will open on Easter Sunday.

The Big Bang Theory
"The evolution of the world can be compared to a display of fireworks
that has just ended; some few red wisps, ashes and smoke. Standing on a
cooled cinder, we see the slow fading of the suns, and we try to recall
the vanishing brilliance of the origin of the worlds." Lemaitre
An overwhelming weight of evidence has convinced cosmologists that the
universe came into existence at a definite moment in time, some 13 billion
years ago, in the form of a superhot, superdense fireball of energetic radiation.
This is known as the Big Bang theory. Until the arrival of the Big Bang
theory the universe was believed to be essentially eternal and unchanging,
represented by the Steady State model. The first clear hint that the universe
might change as time passes came in 1917 when Albert Einstein developed
his General Theory of Relativity. Einstein realised that his equations said
that the universe must be either expanding or contracting, but it could
not be standing still, because if it were then gravity would attract all
the galaxies towards one another. This was, at the time, a revolutionary
concept, so revolutionary that Einstein refused to believe it and introduced
his infamous 'cosmological constant' into the equations so that the sums
agreed that the universe could be static. He later claimed it was the biggest
blunder of his career. It was in 1920 that Edwin Hubble discovered that
the universe was expanding by measuring the light from distant galaxies.
This discovery was followed in 1927 by Georges Lemaitre, a Belgian astronomer,
who was the first person to produce a version of what is now known as the
Big Bang model.
It is necessary to understand that the Big Bang did not begin as a huge
explosion within the universe, the Big Bang created the universe.
A popular misconception is that it happened within the universe and that
it is expanding through it. This causes people to wonder where in the universe
it started, as if by running the clock backwards we would reach the point
where all the galaxies come together in the centre of the universe. The
universe does not have a centre, any more than the surface of a sphere has
a centre, there is no preferred place that could be termed the centre. I
know this sounds odd, it must have a centre, mustn't it? The problem we
have here is we are trying to visualise the universe in the standard 3 dimensions
that we are familiar with and therefore expect to find a centre to an expanding
sphere. The universe, however, is not an expanding 3 dimensional sphere,
it contains also the dimension of time (see 'What is Time?') and many other
dimensions as well. By way of an illustration imagine a balloon with dots
painted on the surface to represent the galaxies. If the balloon is now
inflated we can see that all the dots are moving away from one another,
just as the galaxies are in the real universe, and we can also see that
on the surface of the balloon there is no centre point from which all the
galaxies are moving away from. I am not suggesting that we are existing
on the 'outside' of an expanding bubble, only that we cannot visualise the
entire expanding universe.
Let's begin with a brief look at how the Big Bang describes the creation
and evolution of the universe before moving on to some of the evidence to
support the theory and the problems associated with the theory.
The Big Bang theory
The standard model of the Big Bang theory proposes that the universe
emerged from a singularity, at time zero, and describes all that has happened
since 0.0001 (10-4) of a second after this moment of creation. The temperature
of the universe at that time was 1,000 billion degrees Kelvin (1012) and
had a density that of nuclear matter, 1014 grams per cubic centimetre (the
density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimetre). Under these extreme conditions,
the photons of the 'background' radiation carry so much energy that they
are interchangeable with particles. Photons create pairs of particles and
antiparticles which annihilate one another to make energetic photons in
a constant interchange of energy in line with Einstein's equation E = mc2.
Because of a small asymmetry in the way the fundamental interactions work,
slightly more particles were produced than antiparticles - about one in
a billion more particles than antiparticles.
When the universe had cooled to the point that photons no longer had
the energy required to make particles, all the paired particles and antiparticles
annihilated, and the one in a billion particles left over settled down to
become stable matter.
One-hundredth of a second after time zero the temperature had fallen
90% to 100 billion K. By one-tenth of a second after time zero the temperature
was down to 30 billion K. The temperature after 13.8 seconds was down to
3 billion K, and by three minutes and two seconds had cooled to 1 billion
K, only 70 times hotter than the centre of the Sun today. At this temperature
nuclei of deuterium and helium could be formed and stick together despite
collisions with other particles.
During the fourth minute after time zero reactions took place that locked
up the remaining neutrons in helium nuclei, as described by Gammow et
al in 1940 and Fred Hoyle and others in the 1960's. This epoch ended
with just under 25% of the nuclear material converted into helium, and the
rest left behind as lone protons - hydrogen nuclei.
By just over 30 minutes after time zero, all of the positrons had annihilated
with almost all of the electrons - with again one in a billion left over
- to produce the background radiation proper, and the temperature had dropped
to 300 million K, and the density was only 10% of that of water. At this
temperature stable atoms were still not able to form.
The interactions between electrons and photons continued for 300,000
years, until the universe had cooled to 6000 K, roughly the temperature
of the surface of the Sun, and the photons were becoming too weak to knock
electrons off atoms.
Over the next 500,000 years the background radiation decoupled, and had
no more significant interaction with matter. The Big Bang was in effect
over, and the universe left to expand and cool. About 1 million years after
time zero, stars and galaxies could begin to form. Nucleosynthesis inside
stars convert hydrogen and helium to make heavier elements, eventually giving
rise to our Sun, the Earth and ourselves.
This is only a very brief overview of the main points describing the
evolution of the universe, a number of books have been published that describe
just the first four minutes or less!
So how does it all stack up? How much evidence do we actually have to
support the Big Bang model of the universe?
Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
This is a theory of spacetime, offering a complete mathematical description
of the universe. Relativity, along with Quantum Mechanics, (see "What
is Quantum Mechanics?") is considered to be the most complete and accurate
theory ever devised, mathematically describing such diverse phenomenon as
the constant speed of light and the formation of black holes. Einstein's
equations tell us - apart from many other things - that the universe is
expanding, and that by going back in time there must have been a time when
all the galaxies were very close together. And further back when all the
stars must have been touching each another, merging to make one great fireball
as hot as the inside of a star at 15 million degrees Kelvin (Kelvin is absolute
zero temperature). Einstein's equations actually go further back than that,
to a time when all the matter and energy of the universe emerged from a
single point of zero size, a singularity. This is how the Big Bang theory
describes the birth of the universe.
Expansion of the universe.
One of the reasons the universe is believed to be expanding is because of
the phenomenon known as 'red shift'. Light, or other electromagnetic radiation
from an astronomical object may be stretched, (due to a number of reasons)
making its wavelength longer. Because red light has a longer wavelength
than blue light, the effect of this stretching on features in the optical
spectrum is to move them towards the red end of the spectrum. If then the
optical spectrum of a distant galaxy shows features that are shifted towards
the red end of the spectrum (red shifted), it can be due to one or more
of the following three reasons:
1) Motion. The galaxy is moving away from us, this is known as the Doppler
effect. The same effect can be detected in sound. When a police car is speeding
towards us the sound waves made by its siren are 'squashed' and the pitch
sounds higher. As it passes us and starts to move away the sound waves are
'stretched' and the pitch sounds lower. In the 1920's Edwin Hubble observed
that all galaxies (apart from a few local ones attracted towards our own
and showing blueshift) show red shift. This indicates that the galaxies
are all flying away from us, as in a Big Bang explosion.
2) Expansion of the universe. Einstein's famous equations show that the
universe should be expanding, not because the galaxies were moving through
space, but because the 'empty' space between them (spacetime) is expanding.
This cosmological redshift results because the light from the distant galaxies
is stretched by the amount that space expands while the light is en route
to us. This also reveals that the Earth is not at the centre of the universe
with all the galaxies moving away from us, but that due to the expansion
of the universe, all the galaxies are moving away from each other, like
painted dots on a balloon moving apart as it is inflated.
3) Gravity. This is also explained by Einstein's general theory. Light
moving outwards from a star is moving 'uphill' in the star's gravitational
field, and loses energy as a result. Because light cannot slow down - it
always travels at the same speed - when it loses energy its wavelength increases,
in other words, it is redshifted. It does however, require a very powerful
gravitational field for this effect to be measurable, such as created by
a white dwarf star.
All three kinds of redshift can be at work at the same time. If we had
telescopes sensitive enough to see light from a white dwarf star in a distant
galaxy, the overall redshift in that light would be due to a combination
of Doppler, cosmological and gravitational redshifts.
The fact that we can measure redshift in the light from distant galaxies
tells us that the galaxies are receding from us, and from each other. It
only takes a little logical deduction to conclude that as they are now all
receding from one another, then at some finite point in the past (believed
to be around 13 billion years or so) they must have all been at the same
Microwave Background Radiation. The universe is filled with a sea of radiation
at a temperature of just over 2.7 degrees Kelvin, detectable at microwave
radio frequencies both by Earth based radio telescopes and by instruments
onboard artificial satellites. This is interpreted as direct evidence of
the Big Bang fireball in which the universe was born, being the remnant
of the superhot radiation from the fireball that has cooled down as the
universe expanded. The discovery of the background radiation is therefore
the most important observation made in cosmology since the discovery by
Edwin Hubble that the universe was expanding. The existence of the background
radiation, and its temperature, was accurately predicted by the Big Bang
theory. When it was later discovered, by chance as it happens, this was
yet another confirmation of the theory.
Nucleosynthesis of the light elements.
As the universe expanded and cooled, so the process of matter building
began that led to the formation of stars, planets, galaxies etc. The process
began with the simplest element, hydrogen, then helium, and then eventually
onto more complex elements. The observed abundance of hydrogen, the simplest
element and the most common in the universe, followed by helium, is yet
further confirmation of the Big Bang theory.
The study of stars reveals how their internal nuclear interactions cause
simple atoms, such as hydrogen and helium, to create more complex elements.
Stars are in fact gigantic matter producing factories, converting hydrogen
and helium into carbon and heavier elements by the process of nucleosynthesis
deep within their interiors. If stars did not exist, we would not be here,
our own atoms that make us, were formed by the stars, and by the supernovas
at the death of certain size stars. All as described by the Big Bang theory.
Formation of galaxies and large-scale structure
the Big Bang model provides a framework in which to understand the collapse
of matter to form galaxies and other large-scale structures observed in
the universe today. At about 10,000 years after the Big Bang, the temperature
had fallen to such an extent that the average density of the universe began
to be dominated by massive particles, rather than by light and other radiation.
This change meant that the gravitational forces between the particles could
begin to take effect, so that any small perturbations in their density would
grow. These small perturbations led to the formation of galaxies.
These are the principle observed phenomenon that go to support the Big
Bang theory. Is it proof enough? Do we have a universe that was born out
of a singularity, that is expanding and cooling, and is therefore finite
in both age and size? See Can anything
'real' be infinite? for an explanation of a finite universe.
What do I think?
The Big Bang theory clearly still has a long way to go in order to be
able to explain the origin of the universe. That is not to say that the
theory as it stands is in any way wrong.
The staggering amount of evidence in support of the Big Bang theory is
simply overwhelming. So much so that the theory simply cannot now be overturned.
What is known to agree with the theory today cannot be changed tomorrow,
by any theory, to make it disagree.
The situation is such that any new theory, far from displacing the Big
Bang, would have to incorporate it. In other words, it can only be improved
upon in much the same way that Einstein incorporated Newton's theory of
gravity into his own theory of relativity. Relativity did not overthrow
Newton's theory, it incorporated and developed it.
I realise that some people do not support the Big Bang theory, and a
few have contacted me to inform me of this. Okay, agreed, it is 'only a
theory.' It is also 'only a theory' that the Earth orbits the Sun, and not
the other way around. But eventually, the mass of accumulated evidence for
'only a theory' becomes so powerful and persuasive it becomes impossible
to ignore, whether or not you happen to like it.

the Beginning
Is the Big Bang theory correct?
Don't know
In a nut shell, here are the reasons why the Big Bang theory is believed
to be correct. Taken from Ask
the Space Scientist
1.... The universe is expanding.
2.... There exists a cosmic background radiation field detectable at
microwave frequencies.
3.... The cosmic microwave background field is measurably isotropic to
better than a few parts in 100,000 after compensation is made for the relativistic
Doppler effect caused by Earth/Sun/Milky Way motion.
4.... The cosmic microwave background radiation field is precisely that
of a black body.
5.... The cosmic microwave background radiation field has a temperature
of 2.7 K.
6.... There does exist a universal abundance ratio of helium to hydrogen
consistent with the current expansion rate and cosmic background temperature.
7.... The cosmological abundance of deuterium relative to hydrogen and
helium is consistent with the levels expected given the current expansion
rate and density.
8.... There are only three families of neutrinos.
9.... The night sky is not as bright as the surface of the Sun.
10... The cosmic background radiation field is slightly lumpy at a level
of one part in 100,000 to 1,000,000.
11... There are no objects that have ages indisputably greater than the
expansion age of the universe.
12... There are about 10,000,000,000 photons in the cosmic background
radiation field for every proton and neutron of matter.
13... The degree of galaxy clustering observed is consistent with an
expanding universe with a finite age less than 20 billion years.
14... There are no elements heavier than lithium which have a universal
abundance ratio.
15... The universe was once opaque to its own radiation.
16... The universe is now dominated exclusively by matter and not a mixture
of matter and anti-matter.
I should point out that, although some rival theories have proposed alternate
explanations to a few of these observations, there are no rivals that provide
a simple explanation for ALL of these remarkable observations. What could
be simpler than a universe expanding from a hot, dense state to the present
cool, rarified one with all of the above features emerging! No new physics
is required.
I think that is pretty convincing, don't you?

WASHINGTON — Senators who want the public to pay for human embryonic stem cell studies said Tuesday that Congress must first pass legislation to lift President Bush's restrictions on such research before paying for unproven alternative methods favored by conservatives.
"I'm all for these alternative sources ... let's go ahead and pursue them. But we already know how to derive stem cells," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. Harkin, with Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., is sponsoring a House-passed bill to lift Bush's restrictions on stem cell research.
Testifying Tuesday were four scientists whose alternative research is being considered by Bush, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and other conservatives who want to vote for embryonic stem cell legislation that does not destroy budding human life.
Frist, R-Tenn., wants to bring up four to five such bills as alternatives to Specter-Harkin to give senators a way to vote for embryonic stem cell research without crossing constituents who harbor moral concerns.
While interesting, the methods aren't worth funding without passing the Specter-Harkin bill, the sponsors said. One of the scientists agreed.
Robert Lanza, vice president of medical and scientific research for Advanced Cell Technology, which is developing one type of alternative research, called any choice between the Specter-Harkin bill and a conservative alternative that might fund his own studies "a no-brainer."
"We need to pass (H.R.) 810," he said, referring to the House-passed version. "I do not think we should keep the scientific community or the patient community waiting."
But William B. Hurlbut of Stanford University told the panel that Congress should first support bills on which there is ethical consensus and provide "a coherent moral platform to guide our science."
Harkin didn't budge.
What "we're discussing today hasn't been published in a single scientific journal," Harkin said. "It hasn't even cleared the peer review process. It hasn't been tried in mice. We're a long way from proving it works with human embryos."
Harkin said that "if we're going to fund these alternative approaches, that's fine — if we don't stop the process that we have right now of deriving embryonic stem cells that have so much promise for cures."

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say.

Specter, a cancer patient angry at the delay caused by Bush's 2001 ban on federal funding for new embryonic stem cell lines, made clear that his bill is the first priority.
"If we can pass the House bill, Specter-Harkin, that is the most important bill to be enacted," Specter said as he gaveled open the Labor, Health and Human Services subcommittee hearing.
Testifying were James Battey, chairman of the National Institutes of Health Stem Cell Task Force, and Lanza, who has done research into deriving stem cells from a single animal cell without destroying the embryo. He urged panel members to vote for the Specter-Harkin bill in addition to any legislation that would fund his own research.
"Further investigations should be funded and encouraged" to see if "stem cell lines can be derived in humans using these approaches," Lanza said in prepared remarks.
Calls for march on Washington
Bald and gravelly-voiced from cancer treatments, Specter said the debate itself makes him angry.
"Yeah, well I am, as a matter of fact," Specter said. "Try a few chemotherapy treatments and see how you feel" watching others debate medical research funding.
"The potential for stem cells has been held in abeyance much too long," Specter said.
Specter said he will lift his self-imposed ban on discussing personal matters on the Senate floor and frame the debate in intimate terms — including a "long list of my medicines and my ailments."
"And I'd like to see a million-person march on the (National) Mall," Specter added. "That's an idea that has run through my chemotherapy-occupied cerebrum."

Pounding curry pastes, flavoursome thai ingredients, quality food, traditional recipes- communicating and cooking with other people from different corners of the world ❤
For me one of the most worthwhile experiences about travelling around Thailand is tasting all the different types of food. Trying local food that has been prepared with passion and affection has certainly been an eye opener for me as a Home Economics teacher.

Kristin Cavallari On Breastfeeding: I Was A Slave To My Breasts
HollywoodLife.com spoke with 'The Hills' star about her adorable five-month-old son Camden and why she's decided to switch to formula!
Kristin Cavallari wants to give her boobs a break! The 26-year-old tells HollywoodLife.com that she and her hubby Chicago Bears QB hubby, Jay Cutler, have found a goat milk formula that they're going to start giving baby Camden.
Kristin Reveals Why She Stopped Breastfeeding
"It's hard," she told us while at the Gillette ask Chicago Couples to 'Kiss & Tell' event on Jan. 29. "It was the hardest part of the whole thing and no one tells you that. I was a slave to pumping. Now we are giving him a goat milk concoction that Jay found."
We've told you before that Kristin is in the midst of planning her wedding but nothing is "set." She did tell us that she's excited to have more kids: "We want a big family so I think sooner than later we will have another one. But it's a little too soon, I just got my body back. I want to enjoy it!"
Kristin's Thrilled To Have Lost The Weight She Gained During Pregnancy
"I gained 25 lbs when I got pregnant but I'm a healthy eater," she says. "I worked out during my pregnancy and I was breast feeding, until a few weeks ago."
At the end of our interview we just had to ask her if she'd ever have one of her former co-stars babysit like Heidi Pratt, or Audrina Patridge?
"None of them have … I'm not opposed."
Do you think Kristin should have kept breastfeeding?

well, i guess no one else read that zine. it was really good!
i've been listening to the BROWN SUGAR "Sings of Birds and Racism" LP from last year a tonne lately. i didn't really get it when i first heard it, too chaotic or something and the vocals seemed too low in the mix--anyways, i'm glad i returned to it because it is a WILD WILD RECORD. i've listened to it maybe eight or ten times so far and it still not only grows on me with each listen, but totally fucking blows my mind EVERY TIME. it's like, super /punk/, too. unlike my other fav 2011 punk lp wiccans - skullduggery it's less likely to appeal only to the fan of hardcore punk; it's really fast and has breakdowns but it's much more a guitar rock record. it's got a lot of hot licks, every once in a while you can hear a saxophone (?) wailing away. i can't stress how important it is you dudes listen to this record. it's relentlessly creative, manic but not spazzy, full of surprises, totally over the top and addictive. and honestly the amount of ENERGY that is TRANSFERED INTO YOUR BODY when you listen to it is actually insane

What is the habitat for Roots of Rockingham?
Rockingham Forest covers more than 200 square miles, and has long been part of the natural and cultural heritage of Northamptonshire. It was designated a hunting forest by William the Conqueror back in 1086. Much of the once-vast ancient broad-leaved forest remains, but in separate woodland patches, dotted through the arable landscape. These are wonderful places, where nationally rare plants, bats, birds, reptiles and butterflies can still be found.
Why is this habitat at risk?
Over much of Rockingham Forest, the traditional management that maintained diverse wildlife and a variety of habitats has ceased. The increasingly fragmented woodlands have been badly affected by increasing numbers of deer, which browse and nibble any new seedlings, regrowth and other vegetation. The nature of the woods is changing too as a result of climate change and nutrient enrichment from atmospheric nitrogen, caused by traffic and agricultural fertilisers.
How we will bring back Rockingham Forest's species
This Back from the Brink project, led by Butterfly Conservation, will restore and manage a network of woodland sites across the Rockingham Forest area, creating more habitat in which vulnerable species can thrive. We will introduce more diversity in the woodlands, increasing the complexity of the forest structure and creating more open space and habitat niches, such as dead wood. We will involve local people, helping them to get closer to the extraordinary wildlife of the forest, and working with volunteers to manage and monitor it.
Once enough suitable habitat is available, we will reintroduce the Chequered Skipper Butterfly, extinct in England since 1976. We will monitor the effects of all this work, and best practice advice will be disseminated to woodland managers to ensure the forest remains healthy.
What we're aiming for
By the end of the project, we aim to have restored and managed this network of sites, ensuring the recovery and viability of the forest and the species that depend on it. We also want to see the Chequered Skipper on the wing in England again.

With a delegation of more than 300 businesses, cultural and political leaders, San Francisco Week in Shanghai was a
historic trip as we celebrated both the breathtaking World Expo as well as the 30th anniversary of the founding of the San Francisco-Shanghai Sister City Committee.
Over 15 sponsors were showcased, including presenting sponsor Marvell, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, United
Airlines, HOK Architects, Heller Manus Architects, Monster Cable, Cubic, Cotchett, Pitre and McCarthy, Hilton Hotels,
General Motors, Suntech, Beringer Wines, David Perry & Associates, MarketWire, the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf, CW Group and Yogavive. Without their generosity, San Francisco Week would not have been possible.
Highlights of the San Francisco Week in Shanghai 2010
Events in support of San Francisco Week occurred in both San Francisco and Shanghai, including a Sustainability Luncheon at the InterContinental- San Francisco, pre-departure reception at the Chinese Consulate, ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Expo's Urban Best Practices Building, VIP tours of General Motors Pavilion and the USA Pavilion, where Jose Villarreal, the U.S. Commissioner General to Expo 2010 Shanghai, greeted us personally, Sustainability Forum, where Mayor Gavin Newsom delivered the keynote address, and a gala dinner with entertainment provided by the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Glide Memorial Ensemble and video messages of support were broadcast to the audience from United States Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The committee sponsored the participation of several of the city's cultural icons- the Glide Memorial Choir, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Chanticleer, the Saint Mary's Drum & Bells Corps, the Murphy-Comerford Irish Dancers, the Bridge Chamber Virtuosi and the dancers of the Samoan Cultural Center - who joined the delegation and enthralled a cross-cultural audience while performing at City Square on Expo grounds.
Pictures from San Francisco Week in Shanghai 2010
For 30 years, the San Francisco-Shanghai Sister City Committee has worked to bring people together.
There have been banquets and basketball games, fashion shows and trade shows. The committee has completed more than 200 projects of mutual cooperation. Doctors on both sides of the Pacific have exchanged the latest research. Artists have shared their vision. Students have expanded their thinking. No matter what the occasion, there has always been a personal touch as the committee is founded on the ideal of person-to-person diplomacy.
On this anniversary, we remember the visionary leaders who founded this committee and the first sister city relationship between the United States and China, and we look forward to the next 30 years.
Click here to see the Timeline of 30 Years
Looking to the future, James Fang, the Committee's chairman since 1996, believes that both cities will face many of the same issues and thus will have even more opportunities to work together in the search for solutions. "What I envision for the next 30 years is a mutually beneficial push for sustainable energy. I see projects where we create green-collar jobs," said Fang. However, he is not abandoning the Committee's roots.
Cultural and humanitarian projects will continue and the Committee hopes to finally realize the vision of a Chinese garden in San Francisco as described in the first MOU.
The Shanghai government too, recognizes that the relationship is changing. The Honorable Liu Yungen, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai People's Congress, came to San Francisco in March 2010 at the invitation of the Committee. Liu met with Mayor Newsom as well as executives from Bay Area companies that are at the cutting edge of technology.
The Chairman described the partnership as entering a more "substantial" phase. Fang agrees. He's looking forward to the next chapter in the story of the San Francisco Shanghai Sister City Committee and points to a future where the two cities are friends, partners and leaders in a changing world.

A Note from Curriculum & Instruction
The goal of curriculum and instruction is to provide information to improve student academic excellence by implementing criteria that targets content standards as well as communicating policy and expectations. We are also dedicated to providing instructional guidance.
Academic standards provide a common set of expectations for what students will know and be able to do at the end of a grade. College and career ready standards are rooted in the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in post-secondary study or careers.
While academic standards establish desired learning outcomes, curriculum provides instructional programming designed to help students reach these outcomes. Districts work locally to establish curricular programs that support student mastery of Tennessee's academic standards, while reflecting unique community values. Instructional practices should provide each student with the best opportunity to meet these standards by supporting individual learning needs.
The Board of Education offers education and employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, sex, creed, age, disability, gender orientation, pregnancy or national origin.

The Medusa Nebula is a large planetary nebula in the constellation of Gemini on the Canis Minor border. It also known as Abell 21 and Sharpless 274. It was originally discovered in 1955 by UCLA astronomer George O. Abell, who classified it as an old planetary nebula. The braided serpentine filaments of glowing gas suggests the serpent hair of Medusa found in ancient Greek mythology.
Until the early 1970s, the Medusa was thought to be a supernova remnant. With the computation of expansion velocities and the thermal character of the radio emission, Soviet astronomers in 1971 concluded that it was most likely a planetary nebula.
This image is a combination of long exposed narrowband-data (Ha/OIII) with a classical LRGB. North is about upper right of the image. The galaxy group left of the nebula is ranging between mag 18.2 (PGC 1422135) and mag 18.8 (PGC 1421175).

Get updates from Religion Prof: The Blog of James F. McGrath delivered straight to your inbox
Stuff Fundies Like shared the above image. At first I thought it must be satire. But apparently not…
Hebrew and Greek readers, we pity you. Europeans, Asians, and Africans, we ignore you. God has always been an Englishman (probably living in New York).
I love how the pricing for individual cards (they sell these things?!?) reads "Single card .05 cents each." That's one heck of a prophet (pun-dropped-so-hard-it-hurts).
this has to be a joke…..
You better believe it's not.
It may not be, but it should be. I'm an ultra-conservative Christian, but no person that understands language can believe this stuff. It helps, of course, that I grew up Amish-Mennonite, so we had the Bible in German and English growing up.
Oh. You're right. It is a joke. When I looked up Jeremiah 36:23 I realized it was a joke. My bad. 😀
Just for fun, because I started this response before realizing that this is a parody:
1. True. However, simple commonsense tells us that we should go with the copies of the originals closest in time to the originals. The KJB is not only 1000 years after the earliest copies we have, it's also been translated. Translations are necessary, but fallible. Only the original word of God is infallible.
2. So?
3. That's a historical account of an evil king burning God's word. It says nothing about the desire or actions of God in regard to the NT Scriptures.
4. That's why we have translations like KJV, NASB, NET, NIV, etc.
5. No, it's not. Only English-speakers. Other languages are not able to read KJB. Also, there's this little thing called copies…
6. No one says the originals should be used for daily study, but rather that they should form the basis for rigorous translations.
7. See #1.
Hey! If the AV/KJV was good enough for the Apostle Paul then it's good enough for me.
It's not a parody. Try these, especially the last:
and (in particular) http://samgipp.com/answerbook/?page=30.htm
A translation cannot only be "as good" as the originals, but better.
There are three "translations" spoken of in the Bible. In all three
cases, the translation referred to is better than the original. Since we
accept the Bible as our final authority in all matters of faith and practice, ITS "practice" will have more authority than any "mere human" opinion.
3. The third translation found in the Bible is located in Hebrews 11:5.
"By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was
not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation
he had this testimony, that he pleased God."
The word "translate" only appears five times in scripture. Once in II
Samuel, once in Colossians and the remaining three times here in Hebrews
A Christian with even a shallow knowledge of the Bible is familiar with
the story of Enoch from Genesis 5. Enoch walked with God and is known to
have pleased God. He was a prophet (Judges 14) and a man of faith. God saw fit to physically take Enoch to heaven so that he would not have to experience death. This individual action is a miniature version of what Christians call "The Rapture," mentioned in I Corinthians 15, I Thessalonians 4, Titus 2 and various other places in the Bible. Since the word "Rapture" appears nowhere in scripture a more proper name for this future occurrence might be "The Blessed Hope" (Titus) or "The Catching Up" (I Thessalonians) of "Our Translation" (Hebrews).
It is obvious that Enoch's translation was an improvement over his "original" condition.
Thus we see that every translation mentioned in our final authority in all matters is an improvement over the original.
If you are a simple Bible believer you will have no trouble accepting
this. If you worship education or just hate to be wrong you will reject
this Bible fact as easily as you have rejected every Bible fact that you couldn't agree with.
It should be noted here that the perplexed translators of both the New
American Standard Version and the New International Version, when faced with this glaring contradiction of their own personal
prejudice, could not bring themselves to allow the word "translation" in
any of the above mentioned passages.
Which will you follow, the Bible or men?"
## Implication: the AV-KJV is a translation, and in view of the reasoning just quoted, it it is better than the originals. If – that is – one accepts the man's reasoning as valid; which it demonstrably is not.
Apparently that is a pretty poor translation of Hebrews 11:5, since by using the word "translated" they misled some people into thinking it was relevant to Bible translation. 🙂
I have only ever heard of a couple authors that write stuff like this, and the majority of individuals that read the KJV do not view it like this. Come clean and tell us why you hate it so?
I am not sure if this was addressed to me, since I have only great appreciation for the KJV. But I do oppose KJV-onlyism because it is a diabolical attempt to manipulate people and keep them from understanding the Bible, by keeping them reading it in antiquated English that is hard to understand, so that they will trust their self-appointed and deceitful teachers to tell them what it means. But if those teachers have lied about something as basic as Bible translations, can they be trusted when it comes to the meaning of the Bible?
umm is this your blog? If so it would be addressed to you. lol. Just seems kind of funny that you dedicate a post to a position so few people hold to. Are they really that influential? I realize with some people they are. However, by and large I fail to see the point here. I have never attended church with anyone that held this position. I linked here from a scholarly sight. I have no idea why scholars would care about this issue. Well, they don't.
You seem to be new to the phenomenon of blogging, so let me see if I can explain it to you. On blogs, people often share quotes and images that they came across which made them laugh, or which were silly or ridiculous. I do not see in this post anything that suggests that the viewpoint is one that scholars care about. I do see in is post evidence of why it would be considered worth sharing for the chuckle it provides.

Last weekend I got my iPhone and about $150 dollars stolen.
It's funny because I've been so calm about it.
When I realized that it was gone, I was so blank. I just said "I think I got my money stolen." On the way to the police station I noticed that my phone was gone too.
I honestly think it was karma, a lesson from the universe, whatever you wanna call it – but let me explain
For the past few weeks I've been pretty concerned with how I'm spending my time in India.. When I'm home, I feel like I'm on my phone constantly, talking to friends and family. When I'm home with wifi and my phone, I'm back in America. I told myself "OK, one hour of phone time a day. Live in the moment. Look up. Be present." But here I was, still spending hours and hours a day staring down at a screen. I think it was a sort of coping mechanism for me. Maybe I needed it at first, but it was beginning to get a little out of control and I couldn't seem to stop myself.
My spending habits haven't been very honorable lately either.. too much indulging and not even on meaningful things and experiences. I was already planning to use a majority of this months $150 to spend on clothes…
My things were stolen out of a bus that I thought they would be safe on (Please don't comment on this.. I know.. never again). I think another thing I learned from this was that I need to listen to my intuition a lot more. A couple days before my phone was stolen I thought "hey I should put an Indian sim card in my phone." I ended up not doing it because I was lazy.. later I found out that I wouldn't be able to use Find My iPhone because there was no indian sim in my phone. Before leaving for the weekend trip I was on, I thought I should leave my phone at home, but ended up bringing it anyways. Finally, I had taken my bag off the bus at first. But everyone else was leaving their bags, so I put mine back.
And that's why I think that I got robbed, because I needed to be taught a lesson. This is a good thing. I've already been spending so much more time living my life rather than watching other peoples on social media. I've had to start going out without using the Uber Driver App, which means I actually have to talk to rickshaw drivers (or I at least have to attempt). I am savoring every last rupee I have for this month – and having more adventures because of that. Sometimes the universe just needs to give you a push into the right direction (maybe a bit forcefully)

Using frames for page layout
Introduction to frames
Frames can be very useful when producing a newsletter or other layout-intensive documents. Frames can contain text, tables, multiple columns, pictures, and other objects.
Use frames when you need to:
- Position something in a particular place on a page, for example, a logo or a "stop press" news box in one corner of a page.
- Allow text on one page to continue on another page somewhere else in the document (other than the next page), by linking the content of one frame to another so the contents flow between them as you edit the text.
- Wrap text around an object, such as a photograph.
Because OpenOffice.org does not allow you to define page styles with recurring frames, consider doing some quick sketches of the basic page layouts you need, indicating the approximate positions of different frames and their purposes. Try to keep the number of different page layouts as low as possible in order to avoid chaos in your design.
Pay special attention to the positioning of frames. Many of the predefined styles default to a center alignment. This is the lowest common denominator of design; centering all frames looks reasonably good in most cases but is rarely the best choice.
One of the most visually effective ways to position a frame is to align its left margin with that of the paragraph above it. To achieve this effect, insert the frame in a blank paragraph of the same style as the paragraph above. Then, select Insert > Frame > Type > Position > Horizontal > From Left to position the frame exactly where you want it.
You also should think about the type of wrap and the spacing between the frame and text. Instead of cramming a frame close to the text, use the Wrap tab to place some white space between them.
You can format frames individually or define and apply frame styles; see Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
|The Help uses the phrase "text frame" for two quite different things with very different characteristics: frames (as discussed here) and text objects, which are drawing objects similar to lines and boxes.
Creating frames
You can create a frame in several ways, depending on your needs.
- Choose Insert > Frame) to create an empty frame. The Frame dialog box appears. You can click OK and come back to customize it later, or you can set the frame's characteristics at this stage.
- Select text or a graphic, choose Insert > Frame, and click OK to create a frame containing the selection. The selected text is automatically deleted from the normal text flow and inserted into the frame, and the Frame dialog box appears.
- Insert a picture or other object by selecting Insert > Picture > From file or Insert > Object to start the process to insert a picture or object. The item inserted automatically appears in a frame, but the Frame dialog box does not appear.
- Use the Insert Frame Manually icon on the Insert toolbar (go to View > Toolbars > Insert to display it), select the number of frames in the drop-down menu, and drag the mouse to draw the frame.
When you release the mouse button, a box appears where the cursor is located in the document. This box represents the frame: an area isolated from the main document.
To add content to a frame, first deselect the frame by clicking somewhere else on the page. Then, click inside the frame so that the cursor shifts its focus there. Now add content just like you would on the main page. When you are done, deselect the frame.
Moving, resizing, and changing frame attributes
When an object is added to Writer, it is automatically enclosed in a frame of a predetermined type. The frame sets how the object is placed on the page, as well as how it interacts with other elements in the document. You can edit the frame by modifying the frame style it uses or by using a manual override when a frame is added to the document. Frame styles are discussed in Chapter 7 (Working with Styles).
To change the size or location of a frame, first select the frame, then use either the mouse or the Frame dialog box. Using the mouse is faster but less accurate. You might use the mouse for gross layout and the dialog box for fine-tuning.
You can resize the frame manually (by clicking on the green squares and dragging to the appropriate size) or start adding content to it (the frame will resize automatically if you, for example, add a large picture to it) or go back to the Frame dialog box and set the size and other characteristics.
To change the location of the frame using the mouse, drag and drop one of the edges or having the cursor anywhere within the frame. (The I-bar cursor changes to a four-headed arrow when properly positioned for a drag-and-drop move.) To change the size of the frame, drag one of the handles. Drag a handle on one of the sides to enlarge or reduce the text frame in one dimension only; drag a corner handle to enlarge or reduce it in both dimensions.
These resizing actions distort the proportions of the frame. Holding down the Shift key while dragging one of the handles makes the frame keep the same proportions.
You can open the Frame dialog box at any time by selecting the frame, right-clicking, and choosing Frame from the pop-up menu.
To remove the default border on a newly created frame, open the Frame dialog box, go to the Borders page, and under Line, select None. Alternatively, you can assign a borderless frame style to the frame; see Chapter 7 (Working with Styles), for information on frame styles.
|Do not confuse a frame's border with the text boundaries that are made visible using the View menu (by checking View > Text Boundaries).
Anchoring a frame
Using the Frame dialog box (or by right-clicking and pointing to Anchor), you can anchor a frame to a page, paragraph, or character, or you can anchor it as a character.
To Page
The frame keeps the same position in relation to the page margins. It does not move as you add or delete text. This method is useful when the frame does not need to be visually associated with a particular piece of text. It is often used when producing newsletters or other documents that are very layout-intensive.
To Paragraph
The frame is associated with a paragraph and moves with the paragraph. It may be placed in the margin or another location. This method is useful as an alternative to a table for placing icons beside paragraphs.
To Character
The frame is associated with a character but is not in the text sequence. It moves with the paragraph but may be placed in the margin or another location. This method is similar to anchoring to a paragraph.
As Character
The frame is placed in the document like any other character and, therefore, affects the height of the text line and the line break. The frame moves with the paragraph as you add or delete text before the paragraph. This method is useful for adding a small icon in sequence in a sentence. It is also the best method for anchoring a graphic to an empty paragraph so it does not move around the page in unexpected ways.
Linking frames
You can link several frames to each other even when they are on different pages of a document. The contents will automatically flow from one to the next. This technique is very useful when designing newsletters, where articles may need to be continued on a different page.
To link one frame to another:
- Select the frame to be linked from.
- Click the Link Frames icon inline:Graphic151.png on the object bar.
- Click the next frame in the series (which must be empty).
When a linked frame is selected, any existing links are indicated by a connecting line, as shown below.
The height of a frame that is being linked from is fixed; you can change this height manually or by using the Frame dialog box, but it does not automatically adjust to the size of the contents (that is, the AutoHeight attribute is disabled). Only the last frame of a chain can adapt its height to the content.
The Options page of the Frame dialog box shows the names of the selected frame and any frames it is linked to or from. You can change this information here. On this page, you can also select check boxes to protect the contents, position, and size of the frame.
On the Hyperlink page, you can specify the file for the hyperlink to open. This file can be on your machine, a network, or the Internet.
The Wrap, Borders, Background, Columns, and Macro pages of the Frame dialog box are the same as those for frame styles. Refer to Chapter 7 (Working with Styles) for details.

While most homebuyers contemplate removing walls, Barbara-Ann Jenkins couldn't wait to started rebuilding them when she moved into her three-bedroom semi, in North Wales, with husband, Mark, and children, Megan and Lily. 'The living and dining rooms had been knocked into one and, although a generous size, the space felt really cold and impersonal, furniture placement was a nightmare, and I hated the ugly arch that stood in place of the old wall,' she recalls. Her plan was to restore the original two-room layout, and create a more inviting living space for all the family.
