Did you catch P3's April issue?
If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the April issue of P3 Update.
The Hunger Games is making quite a stir at the box office — it's currently the top-grossing film of the year, taking in over $250 million in just 10 days. The popular film was a winning collaboration for Filmmaker Gary Ross and Cinematographer Tom Stern, ASC, AFC who both decided to shoot this futuristic story on film stock rather than with the many digital cameras now available. The April issue of P3 Update has the inside scoop on the making of The Hunger Games as we talk with Stern about his tricks of the trade and the challenges of lighting and shooting an action-based story on location in North Carolina.
We also focus on future with "From 3D to 5D Production of Live Sports in the U.S.," which explores how 3D technology is creating better ways to capture live-broadcast footage that can be viewed anywhere. New technology incorporates 2D and 3D rigs so camera operators can still do what they do best — shooting great live-sports action — while productions save valuable space in live-event arenas. And the Cameron/Pace Group's "Shadow D" rig is reshaping how live 3D content is captured.
P3 sits down with acclaimed Filmmaker Martin Scorsese to get his take on shooting Hugo, his very first 3D film. Scorsese takes us back to the beginning of moviemaking as he recounts the experience. We also go on location to the U.S. Virgin Islands to see the advantages that are available to filmmakers looking to shoot in the Caribbean. Many films have been shot on the lush islands of St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, and now the advent of DSLR technology has local USVI filmmakers stepping up to create their own content. The U.S. Virgin Islands have a strong infrastructure and support system to tackle any size production, and they welcome the opportunity to help you to tell your story.
Our April issue also included a spotlight on the Midwest Region of the U.S. The states of Illinois, Indiana, Kansas and Missouri all offer professional local talent and other key advantages for visiting productions. And be sure to read this month's Test Drive on third-party plugins and our Post Q&A with Technicolor Senior Digital Colorist Dave Cole, who discusses color correcting in a digital workflow environment.
I do hope you enjoy our April issue.
Check out February 2012
At this year's Sundance Film Festival, I had an unexpected encounter with the representatives from Timberland, one of my favorite brands. While they had a room filled with their new clothing line, their conversation was all about saving the planet. As soon as I walked through the door, a sales rep asked me to make a pledge about making an environmental impact, while an energized spokesperson proclaimed Timberland as a very socially responsible company with the credo: "Every little bit makes a difference." I immediately thought "Wow!" and proceeded to do my part. For every pledge Timberline received at Sundance 2012, the company planted a tree — and the world can be a much better place if we all pitch in.
P3 Update's recent decision to go completely digital certainly supports this endeavor. In fact, since you're reading this right now, you're already aware of the advantages of accessing data on your computer, tablet, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry or Android mobile devices. There's really no need to destroy trees — we no longer need to print over 30,000 copies and mail them all over the world. And I'm sure you'll agree that not only is digital data easy to read, it's a new form of business communication and social interaction. For instance, if you like a product or service in this issue and want to learn more about it, just click on it and you'll go directly to the manufacturer or service company Website where you will find out everything you need to know about their offerings. This protocol is the way of the future and the future is now.
This has been an important transition for P3 Update, and we are thrilled to get this first fully digital issue to our readers — and what an issue it is. In the February 2012 issue, you'll find stories on 3D production and postproduction, including a look at the Cameron/Pace Group's latest 3D effort, Director Wim Wenders' take on his first 3D film Pina, and an understanding of the 3D process by Stereographer and 3D Artist Brian Gardner, an architect behind the art of stereoscopy. Spotlights in this issue include Western Canada and San Diego, Calif. as well as Cinematographer Jerzy Zielinski, ASC who discusses his latest film Private Peaceful. Also, be sure to read up on the filmmakers and service companies that recently ventured to Park City, Utah for the 2012 Sundance and Slamdance film festivals.
I really hope you enjoy reading this new digital issue of P3 Update. Please email it to your friends or let them know about it through social networks. You can invite them to join the P3 Update community and subscribe to the magazine for free at www.p3update.com.
Sundance 2012: More than Just Storytelling
In the snowy, picturesque city of Park City, Utah, filmmakers and others interested in supporting the storytelling process gathered to listen, learn and participate in seminars, sessions and other industry events offered at Sundance 2012. Here's a recap of the event's sessions and support services.
Slamdance 2012
What started as a small gathering of filmmakers upset that their work was rejected by Sundance some 18 years ago, the fledging sister event known as the Slamdance Film Festival has since come into its own. Pioneer Peter Baxter, one of the yearly Festival's four founding fathers, says that Slamdance was made successful by the inspiring filmmakers that keep coming back year after year. "Without these filmmakers coming back each year to help program the festival, there wouldn't be Slamdance," says Baxter.
Changing in the New Year
As we enter a new year, there's a lot to be thankful for and new beginnings to look forward to. At P3 Update, we're thankful for all of the wonderful times and the great people we've had the good fortune to work with over the last 25 years. We've been blessed with the opportunity to provide our readers with resourceful industry content through our print publication that has helped to shape the production community.
For 2012, we plan to join the movement to save the environment and make a solid effort to go green. And, after careful consideration, we've made the decision to discontinue P3 Update's print issue. At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2011, as more than 100 new tablets were introduced, we realized that change was inevitable when we saw how wonderful P3 Update looked on a tablet and how easy it was to navigate and read. I recently presented our idea for change to readers at several events. While initial reactions were "Oh no, we love getting our print edition each month," our readers soon realized that they can read P3 on their computers, tablets or cell phones just as easily — and all agreed that we need to take responsibility for our planet. We now see that going all digital opens up a whole new world of opportunities. While P3 was once strictly a Hollywood book, we now have readers from various parts of the world, including places as far away as India, Greece and Turkey.
So as we do our part to save trees, we hope that you'll stay connected with us by visiting our website at P3update.com and signing up for our digital editions, e-newsletters and social sites to remain a part of the P3 Update community. In 2012, not only will we continue to bring you compelling content, updates and industry profiles in preproduction, production and postproduction along with film commission and technology news and information, we'll bring you more of these things more often. And all of the tools available online will help us to easily get this information to you to keep you updated about your industry.
Thanks for being a part of the P3 Update community and we look forward to staying connected with you in 2012.
California On Location Awards 2011: Prestigious Event Honors Location Professionals
Film, television and commercial production professionals working in California often boast about the superb quality of the state's crewmembers. The location professionals that play a vital role in finding, securing and overseeing production locales and the public employees who streamline the production process were recently honored atthe 17th Annual California On Location Awards (COLA) ceremony.
Canon U.S.A. Opens Hollywood Support Center
As Canon DSLR cameras become more popular in Hollywood's entertainment industry, Canon U.S.A. has just announced the opening of a new support center to better serve its film and television production clients. The Canon Hollywood Professional Technology and Support Center, located at the historic Sunset Gower Studio lot on 6060 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, will provide a local site to foster support, research, service and training for camera owners/shooters and others interested in using Canon cameras.
On-Location Filming Rises in L.A.
Production crews working in Southern California — specifically in the Los Angeles region — are staying busy as on-location production increases in 2011. FilmL.A., the not-for-profit community-benefit organization that coordinates permits for shoots in L.A., announced that filming in Los Angeles County has increased by 15.4 percent in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. The quarter was marked by a welcome surge in on-location shoots for feature films and an anticipated decrease in the production of TV dramas.
Louisiana Film Production Outranks California
More films are currently being made in Louisiana than Los Angeles. As these productions venture out of California, many are chasing the tax incentives offered by the state of Louisiana. According to a recent Fox 8 news report, Louisiana ranks third behind New York and California in total production activity, and more movies were shot in Louisiana than in Los Angeles in 2010. It was also reported that 80 percent of Louisiana's below-the-line crews are comprised of local workers.
25 and Still Going Strong
As you've probably heard, this year marks P3 Updates 25th year in business. Our August issue was dedicated to this milestone. In this blog, I want to share with you my Publishers Letter (below) from that issue just in case you didn't get your copy. Let me know what you think.
Publisher's Letter
A long time ago in Hollywood, most productions took place on studio lots. As filmmaking grew in the late '70s and early '80s, productions took to the streets of Los Angeles, and an Advisory Committee made up of film and television producers, major studio executives and other industry leaders from key Hollywood companies was created to advise Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley. Held at the Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City, one of the Committee's monthly meetings sparked a suggestion for an informational communication tool that would address Los Angeles filming issues. I took that idea and ran with it, and in the summer of 1986 I published the first issue of Location Manager Update.
As film commissioners surfaced to promote their regions, they looked to our widely read publication as a vehicle to reach the Hollywood production community. In 1987, the magazine was renamed Location Update until 2001 when it became Production Update. This change was a direct result of our growing readership that included international communities, producers, directors and other filmmakers wanting to know more about technological advances in the industry. Eventually we became P3 Update (P3) to help better identify us as we moved into coverage of preproduction, production and postproduction.
The last 25 years have been an amazing journey as the pages of P3 continued to address global filmmaking. The core of the magazine's success has been our dedicated and expanding readership; our partners (including many advertisers and sponsors that grace the pages of P3); and the writers, photographers and staff that have contributed to P3's long-standing mission to educate and update content creators and visionaries on the next generation of production tools and location information to help them to tell their stories.
As P3's founder and publisher, I have experienced a miraculous journey. I've been fortunate to travel to disparate parts of the world to visit production communities and meet many leading government officials, including mayors, governors, prime ministers and even a president. I've also developed wonderful relationships with the world's leading filmmakers and manufacturers while communicating information about the evolving technology used to capture content.
Currently, Hollywood and the publishing industry are both experiencing a transformation. The ways of "Old Hollywood" are now a thing of the past as the Internet and new technology change the way consumers experience entertainment. Tablets are taking off and soon any and all information will be made instantly available to consumers, and, at P3, we realize that we need to continually give production updates to our readers. We now provide content in print as well as through our digital edition (a replica of our print edition) via our website, social networking, ENewsletters and emails. If you're not already part of our P3 Community, we hope that you'll choose to stay updated like many Hollywood professionals by revisiting our website daily at www.p3update.com.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your lives during the last 25 years. The P3 staff and I look forward to continuing to bring you informative production updates on the entertainment industry.

This week's game: Jackson State (0-0) at MSU (0-0), Saturday, 6 p.m., Fox Sports Net/ESPN3.com (Bob Rathbun play-by-play, Tim Couch analyst, Elizabeth Moreau sideline)
Josh Boyd will be enjoying more freedom this year. The senior has made the full-time switch to the three-technique defensive tackle spot, where Fletcher Cox used to play, and you can read about his transition in today's Journal (CLICK HERE).
"It's a lot more room for playmaking, so I like it a lot," Boyd said.
Moving from nose guard will give Boyd the chance to maximize his abilities. He's done pretty well for himself the past three seasons, recording 92 tackles, 15.5 tackles-for-loss and 8.0 sacks over 38 career games. He had career highs in each category last year: 51, 8.0 and 5.5.
So Boyd has shown that ability to make things happen in opposing backfields. This move should make him even more productive.
"Our system has been to put our best three-technique in a position to have one-on-one matchups," defensive coordinator Chris Wilson said. "Our three-technique allows us to do that. When you complement that with hopefully a defensive end position that we haven't had in the last two years, it's really going to allow him to have a little bit more freedom one-on-one."
Boyd has also taken on a leadership role, which is not something that comes easy to him. But he's doing what's necessary.
"I don't know if he'll ever be a captain, but he's really taken on that (leadership) role," Wilson said.
I have some video of Boyd, so CLICK HERE.
• Besides Dan Mullen, I spoke with 10 MSU players and coaches last night. That means I have plenty of material coming your way the rest of the week in the paper and here on the blog.
• More links for you: Also in today's Journal is my update on the MSU booster with whom the school has cut ties (CLICK HERE). The NCAA is very interested in this person, and I don't know for sure if they've spoken with the booster since that July 13 letter. AD Scott Stricklin has not responded to a question regarding that. … Basketball freshman Fred Thomas will be out for an estimated six weeks after he undergoes surgery today for a stress fracture in his right foot (CLICK HERE). … He's only a sophomore, but you might want to keep an eye on Amory quarterback Jon David Poss, who we wrote about today (CLICK HERE). I've covered him the past two weeks, and he's an impressive looking kid, especially for his age.

Skip to comments.Golfer Phil Mickelson May Call It Quits Due To Climbing Tax Rates
Posted on 01/21/2013 5:12:50 AM PST by tellw
Word is, Phil Mickelson is mad as hell about rising tax rates, and hes not going to take it anymore. What follows is a brief portion of an interview Mickelson gave earlier today after carding a final-round 66 at the Palmer Course at PGA West in La Quinta which I assure you, is not associated with the La Quinta next door to your local Dennys in which the golfer hinted that he is considering drastic career changes because of a combined tax rate nearing 62, 63 percent:
(Excerpt) Read more at forbes.com ...
Q. When youre asked about Strickers semi-retirement, with the political situation the last couple months, blah, blah, blah, what did you mean by that? Do you find it an unsettling time in a way?
PHIL MICKELSON: Well, its been an interesting offseason. And Im going to have to make some drastic changes. Im not going to jump the gun and do it right away, but I will be making some drastic changes.
Q. Meaning leaving from California?
PHIL MICKELSON: Im not sure.
Q. Moving to Canada?
PHIL MICKELSON: Im not sure what exactly, you know, Im going to do yet. Ill probably talk about it more in depth next week. Im not going to jump the gun, but there are going to be some. There are going to be some drastic changes for me because I happen to be in that zone that has been targeted both federally and by the state and, you know, it doesnt work for me right now. So Im going to have to make some changes.
To be honest, its hard to blame Mickelson who has compiled a net worth approaching $180 million by repeatedly striking a tiny white ball until it falls into a hole for putting all options on the table, which according to some, include the possibility of prematurely shutting down his career to avoid his rising tax burden. Lets take a look at what Mickelson is up against in 2013:
For starters, courtesy of President Obamas re-election and the subsequent fiscal cliff negotiations, Mickelson will experience an increase in his top tax rate on ordinary income from 35% to 39.6%, and an increase in his top rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends from 15% to 20%. Clearly, when faced with tax hikes of that magnitude, it stops making economic sense for Mickelson to continue to swing a metal stick up to 70 times a day in exchange for the $48 million he earns on an annual basis.
But it gets worse. Thanks to the expiration of the temporary 2% reduction in the payroll tax rate on the first $113,700 of self-employment income, Mickelson will have to fork over an extra $2,274 in tax during 2013, an additional burden that makes it hard to justify briskly walking as many as five miles per day, four days a week. In long pants, nonetheless.
And then theres the impact of Obamacare. When you consider that from now on, Mickelson will be liable for an additional 0.9% tax on his self-employment income and 3.8% tax on his net investment income after each exceeds $250,000, whats left over from the multi-million dollar endorsement deal requiring him to sport a Rolex watch while playing private courses in exotic locales hardly seems worth it.
If you think perhaps Mickelson is being a bit of a baby for threating to end a career thats earned him a spot on this list of 10 wealthiest athletes on the planet because of some tax increases, understand that hes getting hit on the state level, too. In November, California passed Proposition 30, which increases the top income tax rate on resident millionaires to 13.3%, a drain on Mickelsons take-home pay that may force him to sell his 9,500 square foot mansion and flee his home state in search of more friendly pastures.
Should Mickelson follow through on his promises, he is fortunate that there is no shortage of countries across the globe that offers an opportunity for a man to earn exorbitant riches by playing a game. But I, for one, would encourage Mickelson to stay the course, continue to fight the good fight, and hire a savvy tax advisor. He shouldnt have to look too far; after all, one of the sponsors that paid Phil an estimated $44 million in 2012 was KPMG.
One thing about Canada - there is no inheritance tax.
Just how snarky can a "writer" get.......good God.
I always wondered about PM living in California. Most pro golfers live in Florida, for obvious reasons.
Yeah, mocking someone who earns a living " hitting a little white ball", when the writer earns a living putting electrons out into the cloud. At least the athlete has talent....
"Mickelson will have to fork over an extra $2,274 in tax during 2013, an additional burden that makes it hard to justify briskly walking as many as five miles per day, four days a week. In long pants, nonetheless."
...this guy is a MAJOR LEAGUE RICHARD NOGGIN!!
And one day, when the inevitable happens and Phil dies, the government will try to take 40% of whatever he's saved during his lifetime. So why should a dude with rheumatoid arthritis married to a wife who had cancer keep spending 8 months per year away from home when he's already amassed a significant fortune?
Interesting post/thread. HOORAY Phil for even speaking out (about socialism)!
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
Double eagle BUMP/BANG!
In Forbes, no less. Envy is cool.
I hope the golfer quits, or moves. It might wake up some sports zombies.
"To be honest its hard to blame Mickelson..." Um, no. I don't blame him at all. He is trying to protect WHAT HE EARNED.
More likely is the fact that he has accumulated more money than he could ever spend so why would you continue to play.
By the way, most people work all their lives to be able to retire and play golf in their golden years. What does a professional golfer do when he retires?
As they say, people vote with their feet.
Next thing we know, Bronco will release an Exec. Order which freezes the bank accounts and confiscates the property of all millionaires who have the chutzpah to relinquish their citizenships in favor of becoming citizens of a country whose laws reflect that what you earn is yours, and not the gubmint's.
That writer wouldn't have dared to write the same article on Tiger Woods making his move to FL.
What the snarky writer doesn't get and Mickelson does is that this is only the start. Taxes are going much, much higher on the wealthy and there will be more taxes on the middle class as well.
There have to be, to keep the scam going.
He is making 48 million a year? So he is gifting over $30,000,000.00 a year.....that's a lot of obama phones.
Mickelson going Galt?
I don't watch golf (my Dad always controlled the TV growing up, so I learned something about it) but Phil Mickelson has always been a class act in the game and outside of the game. I hope folks take notice.
Makes sense. He's 42, has young children, and a hot wife.
So he cuts way back on his work, spends a lot more time with the kids and the wife, and enjoys life and spending his money. What's so bad about that? I wish I'd had the opportunity to do that at his age.
Somebody should ask "writer" Tony Nitti what his handicap is.
Sounds to me like a snarky little man who is jealous of someone else's success. In short, a liberal.
and let's not forget, the tick in the whitehouse is planning on sucking more money from the producers during his next four years, or more, reign of terror.
I am not talented enough to be earning the threshold amounts for the higher tax rates BUT I don't envy those who do. Let's say Phil quits, frankly with his arthritis I expect him to cut back anyway, and along with him go many of those who are the top earners in each of their fields because they got there based on talent, what will be left? There was a news article recently wherein Cal was "surprised" the new tax rates are not bringing in more money. Do we really elect people this stupid that they don't know that taxes kill? I guess that is rhetorical.
That's an easy one. He sits at a desk and has people yell at him all day. :-)
Dear Toni:
Besides the obvious brain damage, what's your handicap? You snarky wankers are jealous of hard work and talent because you don't want to work and have no talent.
That Forbes writer needs to be smacked upside the head. Only one or two commentors at the site get it...the rest of them are whining, snarky, sissies.
Old picture - I think his boobs are bigger than hers by now.
Keep more of his money? Who does Mickelson think he is, Al Gore?
Seems like most retire and go fishing!
Mickelson is an anomoly. Yes the top pros make huge amounts of money, most from endorcements and appearance fees outside the US. Those at the below elite level, say beyond the top 30 or so do well but when they deduct their expenses and fees, sponsor arrangements, training, TAXES etc they are not super rich. Lastly, their high paid careers don't extend over 30 years either.
I am happy for Phil. I am glad he put this on the record.
I thought Forbes was pro-Capitalism. When did they make the sharp left turn?
Very punny.
Phil Mickelson has been a tremendous asset to the game of golf. A legendary player and a real gentleman.
Phil Mickelson is a gentleman who has provided stalwart support during his wife's battle with breast cancer.
On the other hand, your comment reflects a witless cretin.
He wasn't happy with the PGA when they came up with the end of year playoff which demanded another month out of anyone who wanted/qualified to stay in it. The other thing he wasn't happy with was the prize money for it was all tied up in annuities that didn't mature for another 10 years.
"What does a professional golfer do when he retires?"
What color does a Smurf turn when you choke him?
It appears that there is an opening for a course pro at the Galt's Gulch Country Club.
I thought I was going to read a "real" article, but instead it's nothing but sarcasm aimed at Mickelson.
"What does a professional golfer do when he retires?"
Go on the Senior Tour.
My guess is, Phil "officially" moved to Florida... a state with NO income tax...
Or, maybe even a little FURTHER Southeast??
I don't blame him...I wouldn't work that hard for a measly 20 million take home pay, per year...
When someone else owns more of your labor than you do, there's a word for that: slavery.
If Mickelson only hit a small ball into a hole for his money, what did the government do to deserve 30% of his money?
If Mickelson only hit a small ball into a hole for his money, what did the government do to deserve 30% of his money?
To grab a line from The Third Man, "He's just a Scribbler, what's got too much drink in him".
Professional golf is not a necessary industry in the economy. It is a sport, for entertainment.
However, to become a professional golfer, and to climb into the ranks of the big winners(there are only half a dozen who get there and stick around for very long) takes an immense amount of work. They deserve to keep their earnings, since they did indeed earn it.
Lighten up - Phil has man-boobs.
Had I known about his wife's condition, I would have refrained from posting that though.
You are the only one in this thread about income taxes who has demonstrated a queerly uncontrollable desire to discuss man-boobs. Whatever floats your boat...
Queerly uncontrollable huh? I needed a good laugh, thanks.
Tiger Woods grew up in Southern California...when he turned pro he moved to Florida and saved him millions in taxes what with his endorsement deals alone.
Texas? Some golf pros live there like KJ Choi in Houston.
At the minimum, he needs to flee Kalifornistan for Florida, to eliminate the state income fleecing.
Phil has family there, and a long history in California. He likely made the decision to stay in CA for those reasons. Now however, I think he's questioning whether or not those reasons justify the onslaught of additional expenses.
I think Tiger's family was smaller, he didn't have kids yet, and when he moved to FL he didn't have the same ties in CA.

Turf affected: All warm-season turfgrasses, especially St. Augustinegrass and zoysiagrass.
Symptoms: Circular brown areas up to 20 feet in diameter that can develop during cool, wet weather in spring or fall. Leaves will wilt and die, resulting in large brownish tan areas.
Disease occurrence: November through May
Management: Avoid excess nitrogen during potential disease development periods. Avoid readily available forms of nitrogen, such as soluble liquids or quick-release nitrogen sources, just prior to or during these periods. Instead, use slow-release nitrogen sources like Milorganite. Water deeply but infrequently early in the day to allow the leaf blade to dry off. Collect and dispose of grass clippings when disease is present.

To toast coconut and almonds, heat oven to 350°F. Spread in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until coconut is golden brown and almonds are light brown.
If using almonds that have been frozen, make sure they are room temperature before toasting so the coconut and almonds toast evenly.

Varian Linear Accelerators
The powerful dual energy Varian linear accelerators are an example of the advances that keep MCCRO in the forefront of cancer care and research. This linear accelerator generates photon energies of 6 and 18 million electron volts as well as five different electron energies.
Special features include:
A multi-leaf collimator that allows precise, computer-controlled blocking of normal tissues – an integral component of the conformal 3-D treatment program and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy.
On-board imaging to provide image guided radiation therapy through continuous radiographic monitoring of patients during treatment.
Total body irradiation treatment capability for bone marrow transplantation.
IMRT treatment of the prostate, breast, head and neck and other sites.
Image guided Radiotherapy for prostate treatment.
Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Tumors are not stationary as both patients and their organs move. This motion can result in the radiation beam missing its target. Mercy Cancer Center Radiation Oncology has the most advanced method to evaluate and correct for this motion with its Varian Linear Accelerators, including the Varian Trilogy which encompasses two different imaging options. While many forms of IGRT are possible, the most advanced and accurate employs a diagnostic quality cone beam CT scan that can locate the tumor just prior to delivering the radiation beam. If the tumor has moved, the radiation beams can then be corrected before treatment begins. This allows the physicians at MCCRO to more precisely deliver radiation to the tumor while sparing more healthy surrounding tissue.
This combination of treatment device and imaging allows for daily IGRT for any patient who requires this therapy. Each of our four linear accelerators is capable of providing Image Guided Radiation Therapy. Other IGRT techniques we use are ultrasound localization for prostate treatments, portal imaging and PortalVision.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
Mercy Cancer Center Radiation Oncology has been providing radiotherapy treatment since 1988. In 2003, we acquired a dedicated CT-based simulator system (AcQsim) to enhance our three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy program. We are also pleased to provide intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) which is capable of providing targeted treatment while sparing normal tissue.
IMRT is especially useful for the treatment of tumors of the prostate, head and neck, brain and para-spinal regions. This technique has been used to reduce the incidence and severity of side effects of radiation including compromise of visual function, mucositis and xerostomia. Patients who have been treated in the past and had already received a maximum amount of radiation deliverable by conventional means are candidates for IMRT. IMRT allows these patients to receive additional radiation safely, which can result in prolonged survival and an improved quality of life.
Three dimensional (3-D) conformal therapy is limited to the use of radiation beams of uniform intensity whose contours correspond to the "beam's eye view" of a tumor from different directions. This technology allows the most accurate shaping and shielding of the radiation beam. However, when a tumor is not well separated from the surrounding organs at risk, there may be no practical combination of uniform intensity beams that will safely treat the tumor and spare the healthy organs. In such instances, adding intensity modulation to beam shaping allows much tighter conformity to targets.
In IMRT, the beam intensities can vary dramatically across each treatment field to produce the desired results. The multi-leaf collimator is computer controlled and can shape the radiation field during the treatment to produce the required intensity modulation. Intensity modulated radiation therapy allows exceptional preservation of normal tissue.
Side effects of IMRT are the same as those of conventional radiation therapy but tend to occur less frequently and with less intensity in the short and long term. IMRT and conformal radiation therapy can be delivered anywhere in the body, as long as the affected area is properly immobilized. Also like conventional radiation therapy, any size tumor can be treated.
CyberKnife Radiosurgery Center
Some cancer patients may be candidates for treatment with CyberKnife, also located at the Mercy Cancer Center.

Stitching Issues
"Please note that the ratings do not apply but I could not submit a review without these being answered.I absolutely loved this bag when I first saw it at the store but didn't like the light green color and the other colors were not available in the store at the time. I ordered the bag online in the dark tan. Unfortunately, the way the bag is stitched together is a concern. One side of the purse is drawn in more than the other so when you close the bag, it is quite noticeable. This also puts the magnetic clasp off center on the purse. Due to this, the stitching of the middle section of the purse it taut and you can see it pulling. When I returned it to the store, they had the lighter tan and still the light green. I looked over the purse and there appears to be the same issue. For a $40 purse, the quality of the bag being put together is poor. I would however, buy this bag at half the price knowing that it would not last long."

"I am very pleased with this bag because it is sturdy, attractive, and (most importantly) holds all of my stuff. I've been using it for a few weeks and it seems that it will hold up well. I carry a lot of things with me daily and need a bag that fits all of it without seeming too cluttered. This one works wonderfully and looks great with a wide variety of looks."

Guest Post Interview of Jasmine Stephenson an expat living in Colombia and former World nomad traveler.
1st Question:
So your 27 and you went from Living in Florida to traveling the world. What inspired you to sell all your stuff and make that leap of faith to migrate to a new country not once but twice?
I just wanted something different for my life. I wanted to define my own version of success, live the way I wanted to, see other cultures, learn, explore.
2nd Question
You've lived abroad as a Nomad to Expat for over 4 years. How long & often do you call home to stay connected to friends and family from when you first left to New Zealand to now in Colombia?
I catch up with my family once every week or two.
3rd Question:
What would you say to inspire a Pingo customer to take this giant leap to becoming an Expat and/or Nomad to experience a life travel adventure?
Like Nike says, Just do it!
4th Question:
Can you share a culture shock experience while living abroad or perception experience of Americans?
I've had a few of those… probably the most laughable one was when I got blamed personally for causing the global financial crisis.
5th Question:
What advice would you give to someone considering being an Expat in Colombia?
I'd say that if you want to move to Colombia, don't listen to the news. What you see on TV is very different from the daily reality that we live in here. Learn Spanish (at least the basics), talk to others who live here, and come visit. Find out why more people now than ever before are learning the truth behind the tourism slogan, "The only risk is wanting to stay."
Guest Interview Post Author Bio:
Jasmine Stephenson is a travel blogger who left her home in 2007 to live life on her own terms. She is currently living in Medellin, Colombia. Catch up with her on Facebook and Twitter.

Four big publishers and Apple Inc. agree to allow discounting, in a win for Amazon.
Allison Enright
Efforts by book publishers and Apple Inc. to stop online retailers, notably Amazon.com Inc., from discounting electronic books are falling by the wayside, most recently in Europe.
The European Union's governing body announced this week it had shelved its investigation into possible price-fixing among publishers and Apple for the sale of e-books in Europe as part of a deal that opens the door for Amazon and others to price e-books as they like. The EU has come to terms with Apple and publishers Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Hachette Livre and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrink, the owner of Macmillan, to settle the matter.
The investigation looked into the so-called agency model for pricing of e-books. That model allows publishers to set the retail prices of e-books and pay retailers a commission for each sale, rather than selling e-books to retailers wholesale and letting them set their own store prices. An investigation into agency pricing in the United States concluded in August with publishers agreeing to pay a total of $69 million to settle the antitrust suit.
The agency pricing model, which emerged in late 2009, effectively put publishers in control of retail prices. That was in response to aggressive pricing by Amazon, which, in order to promote sales of its market-leading Kindle e-book reader regularly priced bestsellers at $9.99, often below the wholesale price it paid publishers. The publishers feared that such a low price would put pressure on them to reduce prices on their printed volumes. Amazon.com is No. 1 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide and No. 1 in Internet Retailer's Top 400 Europe.
The four publishers and Apple have agreed to terminate their agency agreements in the European Union. The publishers have also agreed to end any agency pricing agreements they have with other sellers. The terms also say publishers cannot restrict resellers' abilities to price e-books however they want for the next two years. Unlike the U.S. agreement, there is no monetary compensation. The EU says the agreement is legally binding and that publishers could face sanctions if they don't abide by the agreement. It did not say what sanctions might entail.
Another publisher cited in the investigation, Penguin Group Inc., did not agree to commit to the terms. The EU says it will continue discussing them with Penguin. Penguin also declined to settle in the U.S. case and continues to litigate the matter.

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
Use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update your registration information with a new name or address, or register with a political party.
Note: If you wish to vote absentee and are a uniformed service member or family member or a citizen living outside the U.S., contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program to register to vote.

EAC has several projects under way to assist states in serving military and overseas citizens who register and vote absentee under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. Learn more
Information Technology and Innovation Foundation is the winner; partners include Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation and Operation Bravo Foundation
WASHINGTON- The U.S. Election Assistance Commission has selected the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) as the winner of the Military Heroes Initiative grant competition. The $500,000 grant seeks to improve voting technology and processes for military service members who have sustained disabling injuries in combat operations.
"This grant will provide valuable insight into the voting experience for injured military members. We'll learn more about the complications these injured service men and women are experiencing as they exercise their right to vote," said EAC Chair Donetta Davidson. "The practical recommendations from this research will also benefit the millions of civilian voters with disabilities across our nation."
ITIF will partner with the Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation, a leading research institute with extensive experience working with military institutions and conducting accessibility research, and Operation Bravo Foundation, a pioneer in developing voting alternatives for military and overseas citizens.
Through a study of all aspects of the voting process, ITIF and its partners will evaluate and offer recommendations to improve the voting needs for military personnel with disabilities. In addition to assessing current voting technologies, services and processes, ITIF will review alternative ballot delivery and return methods and perform user-focused studies to identify technologies with the greatest potential to eliminate barriers to accessible voting. Their recommendations will be delivered by early 2012 for potential use in the 2012 federal election.
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and, more recently, the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act, recognized the necessity for improving the voting process for people with disabilities and military personnel. The Military Heroes Initiative will help further these vital goals. Funding from this grant comes from appropriations made available under the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (P.L. 111-8).
EAC is an independent commission created by the Help America Vote Act. EAC serves as a national clearinghouse and resource of information regarding election administration. It is charged with administering payments to states and developing guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopting voluntary voting system guidelines, and accrediting voting system test laboratories and certifying voting equipment. It is also charged with developing and maintaining a national mail voter registration form. The three EAC commissioners are Donetta Davidson, chair; Gracia Hillman; and Gineen Bresso. There is one vacancy on the commission.

Citizens' voices raised on gun control issues
Calm down; relax; get over your paranoia of your Second Amendment rights being violated.
The American people are simply making their voices heard. They've had enough and want sensible gun legislation.
Following the massacres in Arizona, Colorado and other areas, was Newtown, Connecticut the straw that broke the camel's back? For me, this hit particularly close to home, as Connecticut is my birthplace.
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA, is beside himself over thoughts of any type of gun reform; yet at one time, he adamantly supported background checks and closing loop holes for gun purchases. So, why the "about face" now?
Things have changed for LaPierre. He's being challenged and confronted in a manner to which he is not accustomed. He's always had the upper hand and called all the shots. (no pun intended.)
Now the tables are turning. Citizens are fed up and aren't going away.
This has nothing to do with Second Amendment rights, but has everything to do with common sense and responsibility. Somehow, we've lost that.
The NRA does not represent the gun owner; rather, they are supportive of the gun industry. There is a difference.
If you are unable to defend yourself without a weapon that could remove the side of your house, maybe it's time to re-evaluate your thinking.
The NRA's proposed solution to safeguarding schools is through arming teachers. Do the math. Where would the gun be stored? Would it be on the desk free to the hands of students? Would it be kept in a secure location? Imagine another Adam Lanza strolling in and by the time the teacher finds the gun, she and the entire classroom will be chipped beef on toast.

Did I just read that this style is discontinued? I finally found the perfect bra that is comfortable, adjustable abd overall perfect and you discontinue it? Very sad.
THIS IS THE ONLY RACERBACK FRONT CLOSING BRA THAT I HAVE EVER FOUND (and I have looked!)THAT IS FULLY ADJUSTABLE!!! It is as adjustable as any back closure bra so one can get the PERFECT fit whether one loses or gains a few pounds, or just feels like having it looser one day. I do agree that overall the band runs a bit small; I am always a 38-D but needed a 40-D. But I don't care about anything else because of the fact that this bra is so comfortable, workable and provides the perfect solution for me due to the ADJUSTABILITY of the front closure. To those who have difficulty, it does get easier as it breaks in and just do it in front of a mirror. If you have to try twice, so what? I LOVE IT AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT!! Please, PLEASE do not ever discontinue this one!!!
I normally wear a 38-B so that's what I ordered. The band size was a very tight squeeze. Order a band size larger than you think you want! It's a very pretty bra and I plan to order two more but in a 40-B.
I LOVED this style but sadly the cups were not large enough so I had to try another.
The style is unique with the single hook and it was fabulous to have a bra with straps that didn't fall every 2 seconds. I also loved the soft pink color.
This is a very good bra . The front closure adjusts for a great fit. It can also be worn with breast forms.
- Q: Will other colors be added? I'd also like to see it in nude and white .
From Mike the Crossdreser on 4/20/11
- A: We are always interested in what our consumers are looking for. At this time we do not have it in white or nude but we will definitely consider for the future!

- Q: I wear a 38 ddd, but i have read it can run a tad small, so would a 40dd fit ??
From Debbie on 5/1/14
- A: Hello Debbie and thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately this style is not offered in a DDD or F cup so I would suggest trying the 40DD.

- Q: I love this bra but find the lace panel in the sides and back itchy especially when I am hot or the weather is hot. Is there any other mesh that you could use that would not be as itchy?
From Ann S. Bishop on 6/19/14
- A: Hello Ann and thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately this style is discontinued so once it's gone it won't be replenished so we're not looking to make any enhancements to it. If you're looking for a lace front closure, you may want to take a look at style 502.

Being Bullied? Start Here
To help you get started, read the material below to make a difference in your health and your life. This website is for you and supportive or skeptical family and friends. You will find answers to your many questions. Take your time reading through it. Dealing with emotional abuse triggers strong emotions. It's normal. Return as many times as it takes you to cover all the sections.
Please know two things:
- You are not alone
- You did not cause bullying to happen
Bullying is a systematic campaign of interpersonal destruction that jeopardizes your health, your career, the job you once loved. Bullying is a non-physical, non-homicidal form of violence and, because it is violence and abusive, emotional harm frequently results. You may not be the first person to have noticed that you were bullied. Check to see how many of these indicators match yours.
Remember, you did not cause bullying to happen. We've broken down the major reasons why bullies bully. The primary reason bullying occurs so frequently in workplaces is that bullying is not yet illegal. Bullying is four times more common than either sexual harassment or racial discrimination on the job.
Should you confront the bully? If you could have, you would have. Instead, use the WBI-suggested 3-Step Method. Remember, put your health first. Don't believe the lies told about you. Spend time with loved ones and friends. At times of debilitating stress like this, you must not be isolated. Isolation will only make the stress worse.
As we said, to date, no U.S. state has passed an anti-bullying law for the workplace.
Cautionary note: We have put a lot of material here at this website so bullied targets and their families can better understand what has happened to them and what could be done. If you found us early in your bullying, during an especially cruel and acute phase, simply reading about bullying can trigger strong negative emotions. This is normal. Please stop reading and come back later to dig back into the resources here for you. Take your time. It will get easier to digest as you get away from the start of the psychological assaults to which you have been subjected.
Be safe. Make your personal health your priority.

Texas A&M's QB replacement for Ryan Tannehill has become the first freshman in history to win the Heisman... and now he's tearing up the Cotton Bowl tonight....... if Tannehill doesn't work out, Suck for Manziel.
Texas A&M's QB replacement for Ryan Tannehill has become the first freshman in history to win the Heisman... and now he's tearing up the Cotton Bowl tonight....... if Tannehill doesn't work out, Suck for Manziel.
If we take this sort of approach, its a disaster for failure. You don't believe me, look at Alex Smith.
A 7-9 season, and Ryan Tannehill's 12- TD's against 13- picks is not good by any means.
Let's wait and see what happens in the off-season and pre-season first.
ughhh yeah you cant really compare johnny football to ryan tannehill. quick without googling it, who replaced marino at pitt, oh yeah bet it wasnt a heisman qb, how many freshman starting qbs have went on to win the heisman.....hmmm one, so yeah i would but am would want him more. but if he was just another guy, sheeesh. lets see what we got before we start crying we need better,
Who was the better recieving TE between Fasano and Dwayne Allen? Fasano caught 41 receptions for 332 yards 5tds (80 yards after catch), Dwayne Allen had 45 for 521 3 TDs (225 yards after catch).
Yes, Miami might have better talent on defense, and at RB, but this is not a team comparison, it's a comparison on two QBs, and and the talent they both had around them to help them passing wise. Luck will probably be a better QB when both of them are retired, but the point is, Luck had better receiving talent around him, yet he ended up with only .4 points better then Tannhill.
I may be wrong, but I have a feeling this off season Miami is going to concentrate more then the Colts on geting better receiving talent. Tannehill should have better receiving talent around him, while Luck will have more or less the same receiving talent to help him.
Well if Tanny doesn't progress there is always his replacement...Johnny Football.
I do not want a 6 foot spread formation QB. Blah.
We may draft a QB in the later rounds as a development player. Matt Moore is probably gone this off-season as lots of teams are looking for QBs. Someone will give him a chance to start. So even with Devlin on the roster, I bet we draft a QB.
