Stereotactic radiosurgery is as non-invasive, non-surgical treatment in which high doses of focused radiation beams are delivered from multiple locations outside of the body to destroy a tumor or lesion within the body. The procedure has been used for more than 30 years, and over 200,000 patients have been treated worldwide. Radiosurgery does not remove the tumor or lesions. The radiation destroys tumor cells and stops the growth of active cells.
The CyberKnife® system uses a distinctive radiosurgery device with a linear accelerator (Linac), which produces the radiation mounted on a robotic arm. Through the use of image guided cameras, CyberKnife® locates the position of the tumor. The Linac attached to the robotic arm is then used to deliver multiple beams of radiation while minimizing exposure to surrounding normal tissue. With sub-millimeter accuracy, CyberKnife® is used to treat vascular abnormalities, tumors, functional disorders and cancers of the body.
CyberKnife®, because it is not really surgery, does not present the same problems as traditional surgery. Anesthesia is not necessary therefore there are no anesthetic after effects, and the risk of infection and hemorrhaging are minimized. CyberKnife® offers accurate precision within sub-millimeter distances and spares healthy tissue surrounding the targeted area. More than 35,000 people have received CyberKnife® treatments around the world. No mortality or morbidity data has been reported as a direct result of a CyberKnife® procedure.
CyberKnife® uses the combination of a robotic arm and Linac image guidance. Because of the flexibility of the robotic arm, the system is able to reach areas of the body that are unreachable by other radiosurgery systems.
Second, unlike other stereotactic radiosurgery treatments, CyberKnife® is able to locate the position of the tumor within the body without the use of an invasive stereotactic head frame. This means there are no pins screwed into your forehead.
Third, the CyberKnife® system compensates for patient movement during treatment, constantly ensuring accurate targeting. The matrix below provides comparisons in stereotactic radiosurgery systems:
Continuously adapts to lesion motion caused by breathing (real time respiratory tracking)
All CyberKnife® cases are unique. Factors like the patient's medical condition, ambulatory status, pre-existing conditions, and present treatments are considered during the planning phase and help the doctors formulate an individualized treatment plan. For example, some patients receive a single session of CyberKnife®. Others receive up to 5 treatments. Patients at The CyberKnife® Radiosurgery Center of Iowa receive one-on-one education pre and post treatment so that they know what to expect during the process.
CyberKnife® treats intracranial (skull base) benign and malignant tumors, as well as spine tumors and lesions of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions.
Additionally, CyberKnife® is capable of full-body targeting for lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, laryngeal, nasopharyngeal, glossal, spine and skull. More than 35,000 cases have been treated worldwide. Research is ongoing at major medical centers as more specific indications for treatment are explored.
There are many benefits to a CyberKnife® procedure. It is non-invasive, does not require a headframe or painful immobilization device and it is able to reach areas of the body previously thought untreatable. It is ideally suited for those who are unable to undergo traditional surgery or who do not wish to risk surgery.
The CyberKnife® Radiosurgery Center of Iowa receives many patients who do not have health insurance coverage for CyberKnife® treatments. These patients are offered discounts which includes the treatment phases and the professional fees for the treating physicians through the Mercy charity care and financial assistance program. Treatments can cost 20 to 45 percent less than conventional surgery. All treatment plans are customized to meet the needs of a patient and his or her condition. Some patients can be treated in one session, while others may require multiple sessions. Some conditions require a Cat-Scan for planning, others require different or multiple images. Some conditions require fiducial placements, while others do not. Consequently, until a CyberKnife® trained physician evaluates a particular case the price cannot be determined.
CyberKnife® treatments are not experimental and are covered by most insurance carriers. A CyberKnife® procedure at The CyberKnife® Radiosurgery Center of Iowa is cost effective as it is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization, anesthesia or rehabilitation. Because CyberKnife® technology is new to our region some insurance companies may not be familiar with our services. We ask all of our patients to share with us their information early enough prior to their treatment so we can assist with obtaining pre-authorization and meet coverage requirements. Our billing staff is available to assist patients with any question they may have concerning their coverage and out of pocket requirement.
Medical necessity can be determined by your physician or specialist after evaluating your condition. CyberKnife® is a unique modality, and as such, only a CyberKnife® trained physician can best determine if it is appropriate treatment for a particular condition. An experienced CyberKnife® physician can offer the best advice and discuss other treatment options with you and your family.
It is not uncommon for cases to be discussed with various physicians, including the patient's primary doctor, before determining candidacy for CyberKnife® treatment.
Because CyberKnife® is less risky than traditional surgery it can be a suitable option for the elderly. Age is not a crucial factor in excluding patients from CyberKnife® treatments.
The effects of radiosurgery occur gradually and over a period of time. The timeframe can range from days, months or years depending on the medical condition targeted. Some tumors dissolve slower than others and eventually disappear. Others simply stop growing and present no further cell activity.
After treatments patients typically are asked to get periodic images (CAT Scan or MRI) of their tumor(s) so that their physician can monitor the effectiveness of the radiation.
Complications with CyberKnife® are less prevalent than those found in other radiosurgery modalities or radiation treatments. Following some patients may experience headaches or feel nauseated or very tired. These symptoms are temporary and rarely the result of radiation, but simple nerves or fatigue due to lack of sleep. Uncommon complications may include skin reddening due to the face mesh or vomiting. Delayed symptoms may include local brain swelling in the treatment site, which can be addressed with appropriate medications prescribed by the doctor. Extremely rare complications may include vision loss or hearing loss depending on the diagnosis and condition being treated.
The radiation being delivered by CyberKnife® is so focused on a specific target that it is highly unlikely that hair loss or skin burn will occur. Typically, the radiation dose administered is not sufficient to cause permanent damage to the skin or hair follicles. In the event that an intracranial lesion being treated is close to the scalp a patch of hair may be effected. The hair will grow back. Patients receive instruction before and after treatment and have an opportunity to dialogue with members of the medical team so that they are aware of possible events specific to their case.
The frequency of treatments depend on where the tumor is located and what type of tumor is being treated. Most patients can receive multiple treatments or be re-treated with CyberKnife®.
CyberKnife® is solely manufactured by Accuray®, Inc. and is patented for its unique image-guided system and robotic-arm delivery. CyberKnife® centers are usually either a part of a hospital, or in a free-standing center. As such centers usually have their own medical director(s) and staff. Some CyberKnife® programs may choose to only treat specific conditions.
There are a number of CyberKnife® resources available through the internet and sites such as Accuray and the CK Society will provide additional information regarding treatment and CyberKnife® system. There are patient organizations that can offer support and education to patients seeking more information on radiosurgery treatment. Specific to CyberKnife® is The CyberKnife® Patient Support Group, a non-profit organization established in July of 2001. The CyberKnife® Patient Support Group is dedicated to helping others by sharing the personal experiences of patients who have undergone a CyberKnife® procedure.

Indonesia, Timor-Leste and Australia commit to protect and manage a globally significant ocean regionMay 16, 2014
15 May, Manado, Indonesia – An important tropical region that plays a vital role in the circulation of the world's oceans stands to benefit from a Ministerial Declaration that was signed here today. Ministers from Timor-Leste, Indonesia and the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia endorsed a regional Strategic Action Programme that will promote the restoration, conservation and management of marine and coastal ecosystems for the Arafura and Timor Seas – known as the ATS region.
This significant area,that links the Indian and Pacific Oceans, provides livelihoods for millions of people and makes a substantial contribution to domestic food and exports. These seas contain the most pristine and also highly threatened coastal and marine ecosystems in the world, underscoring the urgent need for trans-boundary management.
Both seas also play an important economic and ecological part in the four countries bordering them: Indonesia, Timor-Leste and Australia. The area is extremely rich in marine resources as well as oil and gas reserves. "This kind of regional cooperation and collaboration is so important to protect and manage this valuable global resource," says UNDP's Country Director, Ms. Beate Trankmann.
The Declaration endorses the key environmental issues addressed in the regional Strategic Action Programme, including: recovering and sustaining fisheries; restoring degraded habitats; reducing land-based and marine sources of pollution; protecting marine species and supporting adaptation to the impacts of climate change in relevant sectors.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) working closely with relevant Ministries provided the technical expertise to help shape the regional Strategic Action Programme, raise necessary funds for its implementation, and now look to the future to support the training, policies, governance and community-based projects to implement the Programme.
The Declaration in support of the Strategic Action Programme was signed by the Indonesian Minister for Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Mr. Sharif CicipSutardjo; Timor-Leste Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, Dr. Mariano AssanamiSabino; and the Australian Ambassador to Indonesia, Mr. Greg Moriarty.
The Declaration also approved the creation of a regional mechanism between the Government of Indonesia, the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste and the Government of Australia to ensure that the essential coordination and capacity are in place for sustainable and integrated management of the region.The Government of Indonesia has committed to provide a Regional Secretariat for this coordinating mechanism to be located in Bali.

DuPont Pioneer Experts Provide Fall Management Tips
Fall soil sampling, fertility management and weed control improve spring productivity
DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 28, 2013 - Strong genetic potential and proven crop management practices are vital to making the most out of every acre. According to DuPont Pioneer agronomy experts, focusing on management practices this fall will help maximize potential in your fields next season.
"Advances in management help maximize the gains in productivity that improved genetics make possible," says Brent Wilson, DuPont Pioneer technical services manager in Iowa. "As growers plan for the next season, it's a good time to evaluate key management decisions - such as fertility programs - that help set the stage for success in 2014."
Soil sampling
Fertilizers are significant variable costs in production and it pays to assess crop nutrients in fields. Soil testing is a relatively inexpensive but powerful management tool that determines nutrient levels in fields. With knowledge gained from soil tests, you can make more informed crop input decisions to minimize risk and maximize profitability.
DuPont Pioneer agronomists recommend sampling soils at the same time every year on a two- to four-year rotation for a given field. Sampling three to six months prior to the next crop allows enough time for any pH or nutrient adjustments. For many crops, the optimum time to take a soil sample is in late fall during post-harvest. For assistance with proper soil sampling and selection of a soil-testing laboratory, contact your local DuPont Pioneer agronomist or extension office.
Fall nitrogen application
Nitrogen (N) is typically the most yield-limiting nutrient, and it's one of the largest input costs for corn production. Fall-applied N is at highest risk for loss through leaching or denitrification.
"This fall, consider the benefit of improved utilization efficiency gained by applying N closer to the time the crop uses it," Wilson suggests. "Take the time to rethink the number of acres covered and your N application rate."
For example, this past spring several fields with fall-applied N had leaching problems following excess spring moisture. Growers may not have lost as much of their investment if they had waited until spring to apply.
"Fall applications are largely driven by logistics and an effort to spread out the workload. If you have the equipment and manpower, it's better to wait to apply nitrogen in the spring," says Neal Hoss, DuPont Pioneer technical services manager in Illinois and Indiana. "If you don't have the capacity for spring applications, target fields with the least amount of risk and use nitrogen inhibitors to minimize the potential loss of your nitrogen investment."
Timing phosphorus and potassium fertility
To improve phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) management and maximize the return on your investment, consider precision soil sampling, such as management zone and grid sampling, in conjunction with variable rate technology. The return on fertilizer investment is greatest for low-testing soils. With variable input prices, avoiding unnecessary fertilization of high-testing soils increases profitability.
P and K fertilizers applied in the fall are more stable, offering less risk than fall-applied N. If you're trying to reduce your spring workload, P and K fertilizer applications can easily be done in the fall, when weather and soil conditions are generally not as wet, which diminishes concerns about compaction.
If weather or a late harvest delays application, avoid applying P and K on frozen or snow-covered fields due to a high risk of loss with surface runoff. In such cases, application prior to planting in the spring is just as effective, as long as soil test levels are above the very low range.
Fall weed control
Heavy weed cover in the spring causes the soil to remain cool longer, delaying tillage and planting. The winter annuals may also provide a nest for insects that attack emerging crops. In addition, if spring brings cold, wet conditions again next year, you will have a limited window for field preparation before planting.
"In the fall, you should assess your weed control program and determine which fields are going to need more attention than others," recommends Hoss. "In areas such as Illinois and Indiana, a fall herbicide application may be beneficial because it provides a different mode of action for weed control."
Fall herbicide applications provide greater spring flexibility and improved weed control of winter annuals. Burndown and residual applications in the fall help prevent weeds from producing seeds in the spring, giving you a head start on weed control.
Remember that a number of factors influence spring weed growth, and fall applications may not always eliminate the need for a spring burndown treatment. Be sure to factor in weed populations and planting schedules when developing an effective control program.
Additional management considerations
Depending on harvest timing, additional fall management practices can be beneficial as you set the stage for 2014. These may include crop rotation, cover crops and fall tillage, which generally tend to be a multiyear decision based on personal preferences and specific to your farm. If you're looking for additional insight, consider working with your DuPont Pioneer agronomist to evaluate your current practices and determine the best options for your farm.
Post-harvest is also a good time to evaluate your management practices alongside yield data using Pioneer® Field360™ Select software. Interactive field maps provide field-by-field visuals to help you evaluate your management decisions, including fertilizer applications and seeding rates, alongside historical performance data.
By working with your Pioneer sales professional, you can use what you learned this year to develop management zones and adjust your cropping plan for next year.

This was a cute movie!
Goose and Binky really enjoyed it.
It might be a little scary for younger kids, but "Toothless" the dragon is adorable!
Binky wanted him for a pet!
We did not see it in 3D, though.
We really don't enjoy it. I always get a headache!
I do wish the "mean" dragon didn't have to die.
But it is Hollywood.
2 thumbs up from Goose and Binky!!
And one from me!

The netbook has been an amazing success story over the last two years, and one notable element of that story is the extent to which the individual devices have been driven primarily by the platforms involved. While dozens of vendors are selling netbooks, most of them are similar-looking implementations of Intel's reference designs.
At this year's CES, a number of mobile devices were shown that tried to differentiate themselves from the netbook horde, either with different hardware (like the Smartbooks and NVIDIA Ion-based hardware) or with heavily tweaked OSes (like the various Ubuntu netbooks and the Moblin-packing Samsung N127).
A few new netbooks, however, are standard reference hardware running Windows, but they shine based on unusual design features. Several of these stuck out; let's take a look at them, starting with screen innovations and going on to battery life optimizations.
Unique like everyone else: Menlow convertible tablets
One notably non-unique class of devices at CES was convertible tablet netbooks. It seemed like almost every netbook vendor was either launching one or displaying a prototype. Lots of them were based on Menlow, not Pine Trail, and they almost all ran Windows.
The first one I came across was the Haier-branded X220 on display at the booths of both vendor Haier and manufacturer PCD, which features the exact same Menlow hardware as most other netbooks, 3G, and a swivelling touchscreen.
In touchscreen mode, though, the X220 was a little disappointing. The screen didn't track very well, so something as simple as playing Solitaire was difficult to impossible using my fingers; the cards would drop in the wrong places while I dragged them. To get good use from the touchscreen, I needed to use a fingernail or a pen. So, in addition to being similar to other devices, the X220 was hard to use.
ASUS also got into the swivel touchscreen game. Its T91MT, released late last year and on display at CES, is a thin, stylish-looking multitouch-supporting convertible tablet packing a low-power Menlow Atom Z520 and a 32GB SSD, among other things.
The T91MT's touchscreen was much better than the Haier screen; it picked up my clicks and dragging without any hitches. The trackpad and keyboard were also first-rate, with no weird key positioning, nice, comfortable presses, and a smooth-feeling surface. The user experience was about what could be expected from a low-power Atom chip running Windows 7: acceptable but not great.
Although the T91MT had a good user experience, it's clear that ASUS sacrificed battery life, both for multitouch and for small size. The T91MT is rated for a mere five hours even though it sports a fairly standard 28Wh battery.
As distinguishing netbook features go, the single touchscreen isn't that impressive. Units either come off as plain and somewhat buggy, like Haier's unit, short on battery like ASUS's, or both. Maybe, I thought, a flashier, more exotic touchscreen, or even two, could distinguish the netbook. MSI helped me find out.

Since yesterday Panoramio is available in three more languages; simplified Chinese, Bosnian and Croatian.
We want to thank very much Jing Zhou and Bin Li for the Chinese translation. We are also very grateful to Miron Matijevic and Ana Mazic from Sarajevo for the Bosnian and Croatian version. Great work guys!
We are committed to make Panoramio available in all languages of the World. There are already 20 languages and 4 more comming, but since there are many visitors from India and the Arabic speaking World we miss Arabic and Hindi. Ojalá, Inch-Allah the language of Averroes and Almanzor is available soon in Panoramio.
If you feel like translating Panoramio to your language, please, don't hesitate to contact us at questions AT panoramio.com before starting.

It looks as though Terrence Jenkins (better known as Terrence J) is moving on up like the Jeffersons.
After announcing his departure from BET's 106 and Park back in May, he has now confirmed that he will be sliding into Ryan Seacrest former spot as the new co-host of E! News. His new gig at the anchor desk alongside Giuliana Rancic will begin on November 12.
According to E!'s President of Network Strategy, Terrence J's resume and connections were an attractive look for the network:
"Terrence Jenkins is a talented and well-connected television personality who will bring an original sensibility to our news programs. Coupled with lead anchor Giuliana Rancic's proven experience, [Jenkins' arrival] should help cement 'E! News" stature as the leading source for news across pop culture.
Although, Ryan Seacrest will remain managing editor of E! News, he left his role at the anchor desk back in January due to his busy schedule which includes American Idol, executive producing numerous reality shows, and his daily radio morning show. [What is Ryan not doing these days??]
It's definitely possible that Ryan and Terrence J have a little history as Terrence appeared on a few episodes of the Kardashian spin off, 'Kourtney and Khloe takes on Miami' a few years ago as the co-host of a radio show with Khloe Kardashian.
On his new role, Terrence says:
"I've always had a passion for the wide spectrum of pop culture that E! News covers so well; I can't wait to get started. I've had a great career so far, and it's all been building toward this."
This is definitely a huge indication of where Terrence is headed in his career. Not to mention, he is still pursuing acting gigs. Big things are ahead!

I'm using the trial version of pocomail and hope to buy it BUT I've written two emails via the support function within the email client. It's been about a week and I've had NADA in the reply department.
So two days ago, I wrote to them via the website, sent a copy of the message to myself, and I've heard nothing.
I'm loathe to jump to conclusions, especially because I like the program, but one of my main concerns is having a responsive seller. I gave up on Eudora for that reason and I've been stuck with Outlook, which, of course, sucks. So....I can't quite understand the lack of responsiveness. Anyone have any comment?


text: What is really difficult with MPI is data distribution. A lot of applications are parallelised using replicated data. That's fine if you are CPU bound, but it you are limited by the amount of memory per processor, a shared memory approach (which is the default with OpenMP) is the easiest way of using all the memory. MPI may also add a lot of overhead if you parallelise inner loops, which is easy and cheap with OpenMP. OTOH, coarse-grain parallelism with OpenMP is difficult; MPI is usually more suitable here.

Relief flows over child rapist's death
Pedophile Dennis Ferguson inspired a level of hatred, revulsion and fear rarely seen in Australia.
The child rapist's lonely death at his Sydney flat on Sunday is being mourned by very few and marked with palpable relief by many.
The crime that put him at the heart of a vigilante-style movement that spanned two states was heinous indeed.
In 1987, Ferguson and his male lover Alexandria George Brooks abducted three children - aged six, seven, and eight - from NSW and took them to a motel in suburban Brisbane.
There the children were repeatedly raped and subjected to vile and indecent acts, sentencing them all to a life of torment.
But in committing those heinous acts, Ferguson guaranteed himself the same fate.
After his 2003 release from a Queensland jail, having serving 15 years and nine months for raping the children, he was hounded from place to place by fearful mothers, fathers and grandparents.
As Ferguson moved from town to town in Queensland, and from place to place in Sydney, the chaos and protests followed him.
Effigies of the sexual predator were burned in the street.
A replica coffin was left outside his door, along with a molotov cocktail.
As Ferguson was subjected to death threats, leaders including then prime minister Kevin Rudd publicly warned Australians not to take the law into their own hands.
It was an extraordinary outpouring of fear and anger for a man whose pinched face and odd mannerisms came to symbolise the scourge of pedophilia, child protection advocate Hetty Johnston says.
"He was easy to dislike and he acted as a lightning rod for community fears and hatred for pedophiles," Ms Johnston told AAP on Monday.
The Bravehearts founder believes Ferguson's legacy, if it can be called that, is a renewed community focus on keeping children safe and a fresh debate about the way serious child sex offenders are dealt with in the courts.
She says the Queensland government deserves high praise for recently introducing a two-strikes law, meaning serious repeat child sex offenders will now be jailed for life.
"That's how it should be. We should not be releasing dangerous offenders back into the community and expecting the community and our children to have to deal with that."
Ferguson's former neighbour Sean Killgallon is celebrating the pedophile's death.
Mr Killgallon left the replica coffin outside Ferguson's Ryde home after he moved to the Sydney suburb in 2009.
"We're glad that the world is rid of an evil man who will hurt no more innocent children," he told AAP.
"I don't think anyone who is a loving parent or human being could justify losing a tear over him passing away."
Ferguson's former counsellor Dr Wendell Rosevear said his client had worked to address his behaviour.
"He was honest about the dimensions of his own life, both victimisation and perpetration. That honesty is the biggest predictor of someone's resolution," Dr Rosevear told the ABC.
That may come as cold comfort to Ferguson's victims.
Back in 2003, after he was released, one of his victims spoke of her enduring anguish about what Ferguson and his co-conspirator did to her, her brother and another boy in that Brisbane motel.
"He made me have sex with him and his friends. They used me as a sex toy," she told the Nine Network.
"He got 15 years and I've got a life sentence for it."

SANTA CLARA — Here is how the 49ers (8-4) graded in their 23-13 win over the visiting St. Louis Rams (5-7):
Pass offense: Anquan Boldin and Vernon Davis remained Colin Kaepernick's top targets and star producers despite Michael Crabtree's emotional spark from his season debut. Boldin played angry and wonderfully, most notably making five of his nine receptions on a first-half touchdown drive. Davis got his 10th touchdown and merits only his second Pro Bowl berth. Kaepernick had a second straight positive outing.
Grade: A-
Run offense: The offensive line coped OK — not great — without left tackle Joe Staley (sprained right knee on the first series) and left guard Mike Iupati (out a second straight game). Frank Gore was understandably miffed after another sub-par game (15 carries, 42 yards), but he did score on a 3-yard run. Anthony Dixon didn't get much room to run, and Kendall Hunter's lack of contribution is surprising. Hello Joe Looney, finally.
Grade: C-
Pass defense: Forget about Tramaine Brock giving up a touchdown on a last-minute fade pass. This unit continues to play stellar, starting up front with Justin Smith, whose pressure paid off with sacks by Ray McDonald and NaVorro Bowman. Carlos Rogers got a fourth-quarter interception. Stellar play also from safeties Donte Whitner and Eric Reid.
Grade: A
Run defense: OK, so they stopped Zac Stacy (72 yards) from becoming the first running back this season to eclipse the 100-yard mark on them. Can this unit do the same next Sunday against the Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch, who ran for 98 yards in a Week 2 rout? Glenn Dorsey (six tackles) especially won Jim Harbaugh's post-game admiration, as did Bowman (11 tackles) and Patrick Willis (sack).
Grade: A
Special teams: Great job by Anthony Dixon — and Michael Wilhoite — stifling a fake punt to start the fourth quarter and finish off the Rams. Bravo, Phil Dawson: 16 consecutive successful field-goal attempts. You know Andy Lee is having a great year when he gets a punt blocked and it still rolls 43 yards to the 8-yard line.
Grade: A
Coaching: Terrific preparation showed in all phases, especially defense and special teams. Three field goals indicate that the offense isn't totally fixed. Kudos are merited for keeping the team focused on the task at hand rather than next Sunday's circle-your-calendars visit by the Seahawks.
Grade: A-

Celebration Marks 100th Heart Transplant Performed
The Nebraska Medical Center and UNMC celebrated a significant milestone June 2, by pulling together patients, physicians and medical staff to mark the 100th heart transplant performed since the program was re-established in 2005.
Jorge Parodi, executive director of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Services, noted that as a hospital we often measure the success of a program in "survival rates or quality of life measurements," but in looking around at the event he said, "It is evident the success of this program is measured in moments and receiving the opportunity to spend more time with your loved ones, your family and your friends."
The night was filled with unscripted speeches from patients as many took to the microphone to recognize the physicians and staff who had done so much to help them through their transplant journey. One patient in particular, acknowledged that it is very rare in life that you meet a physician who will go above and beyond for your care, but that every physician he met at The Nebraska Medical Center did just that for him. In turn, Ioana Dumitru, MD, medical director of the Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation Program, emphasized the strength of patients who place their faith in the team of physicians and staff to help heal and treat them.
The milestone serves as proof of the extraordinary care patients receive from the outstanding team of physicians, nurses and their support staff at the medical center. Many patients identified one of the most critical aspects to their health recovery as the opportunity to be at home with family and friends. All were relieved to find out they would be in the hands of expert medical staff trained in advanced cardiac failure with the stability of being in a comfortable and familiar setting.
While the 100th heart transplant is significant, the team is not slowing down. "Six months ago when we starting planning this celebration we were at 90 heart transplants and I was a little concerned we wouldn't make it to 100," said Parodi. "But I am happy to announce that as of today we have performed 109 heart transplants at The Nebraska Medical Center," said Parodi.
With the continued growth and expansion of the cardiac failure team and the Heart Transplantation Program it is not hard to imagine the celebration for the 200th heart transplant will be here before we know it.

Nigerian born, Chidi A. Okoye graduated with a distinction in sculpture (Higher National Diploma) from the Institute of Management and Technology in Enugu, Nigeria, in 1988. For the next six years he taught sculpture and drawing at Federal Polytechnic Oko Anambra State Nigeria. During this period, he created an outstanding collection, not only sculpting, but painting and writing as well. In Nigeria, He had his national solo exhibition "Textures of Life" and launching of his book "Lamentation" at national museum Lagos in 1993 sponsored by Mobil Producing Nigeria. Okoye is as famous for his poetry as for his painting and sculpture.
In 1994 Okoye moved to Vancouver, Canada, where he immediately became involved in a number of projects promoting international artistic exchange and was a leading light in the local Black creative community. Okoye believes that his art offers him a chance of relating to his environment, complementing the beauty of nature with man-made forms and images, which spring from his ancestral culture. He combines the strength, uniqueness and dynamism of his heritage with a technically skilled understanding of the power of forms, feeling and materials to create works, which continue to thrill audiences.
The wide appeal of his works seems to lie in its identifiably African approach to colors and lines, but with an ability to turn his distinctive style to a wide rage of subjects. Okoye's paintings and sculpture have been praised for their capacity to raise awareness of important social-political issues without resorting to militancy.
In 2001 Okoye went to Atlanta where he has been actively involved in the creative art community. He won the first prize, South Fulton County Gallery Best Artist of the year 2002. He has participated in the jury art shows of National Black Art Festival Atlanta from 2002 to 2004. He recently executed Award commission for 2004 Clark Atlanta University ADVANCE Leadership Award. Chidi collaborated with Nelson Mandela in Unity Series in 2004.

apt-get upgrade is not good on Debian unstable.
And in this case, a lot of transitions on Debian sid happened since aptosid 2011-01 release,
so using apt-get upgrade once would IMHO make the system unsupportable state.
(a lot of missing dependencies)
From your text I'm not sure if you have done "apt-get upgrade" on this system or not.
If so, I'd recommend reinstallation... since you don't have anything to loose yet.
(BTW, I understand French, but for asking in English forum, it's better to prefix "LANG=C"
before the command, so that the output of command is shown in English, like
# LANG=C apt-get -s install iceweasel iceweasel-l10n-fr kde-l10n-fr

hi muchan
than for your reply i was away...
i was doing an "upgrade", not "dist-upgrade" for reasons i mentionned before.
i did a reinstall with 2010-03, kernel is now 2.6.36-uname2 slh 3 cause 2011-01 was making trouble but i still have problems with xorg ( i run on a dell gx260 with 82845 using i915 / X11, ) so i am looking for a solution to this : the display is freezing randomly, making the system unusable (even stopping and then restarting xorg do not works)
as this is a machine for persons who live away from me i'd like to make sure everything is ok before it go usually i have no probs with aptosid...
i should mention i have an other gx260 wich i dist-upgraded (
following aptosid manual's procedures) since a year and sometimes difficultly, wich works perfectly with xorg i915, kernel is 2.6.37-3 slh 3...
thanks looking forward to read from you,
ps is aptosid not supposed to be a rolling release ? since you recommend not to use dist-upgrade anymore, why not modify the manual pages mentionning it ?

I don't know enough French to check the Manual in your language but in the german manual it's "dist-upgrade" all the way.

There is misreading somewhere. "d-u" is short for "dist-upgrade".
I did not wrote you should not use "dist-upgrade". (= you should)
I wrote you should not use "apt-get upgrade" on Debian sid.
man apt-get:
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages
currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already
installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be
left at their current version. An update must be performed first so that apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart"
conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade command
may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a
mechanism for overriding the general settings for individual packages.
Debian unstable is a dynamic repository, where dependencies change very often. And after the last release of aptosid, (which was the same time with Squeeze release),
there were a lot of transitions, where dependencies changed.
You wrote "i was doing an "upgrade", not "dist-upgrade" for reasons i mentionned before",
You meant, "apt-get dist-upgrade" didn't go well, so you used "apt-get upgrade"?
in this case, it's worse! it is not a good solution!
for example, Xorg would not be upgraded with "apt-get upgrade", so software that expects the newer version of Xorg will be broken. etc. etc...)
and I don't know any occation you should use "apt-get upgrade" on aptosid.

hello OppaErich and muchan
i take good note that i did some missunderstanding of how upgrading affects the system ...!
at first i installed from 2011-01 kde lite, after install i was trying to make an upgrade (sorry don't remember if it was d-u or just upgrade) and this leaded me to troubble (broken packages around libc6-dev) wich made me unable to install kde-l10n-fr, iceweasel and so on...
so i thought may be i must fix this by using install -f but no change, and i was like stalled there, and this is where i should have requested a support...
anyways i was thinking the previous aptosid version may be more adequated to an "old" computer, i installed it, and did (there we go) the upgrade insead of dist-upgrade (wich i thought was better in this case)
what i note is that 2011-01 need to be dist-upgraded
i can install some packages because of the quick evolution of unstable (?)i will start it all again from the raw iso and note exactly what is going on.
to be followed

hi i'm back i noticed topic was moved... ok
so i did a new fresh install on the gx260
from 2011-01 iso. shortly after it i d-u :
#apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
everything went ok but at first reboot i was kicked of
the kde session after 10 secs...(this happens twice)
i gave up it was late, i shut the pc down.
this morning, the system started ok
and i did not had any session problem. I did a logout - init 3 and installed the l10n-fr for kde, iceweasel and libreoffice and then logout from #, login as user, restarted x (startx) : session started mouse was functionning, but i was unable to use anything on the desktop (no action with mouse and keyboard totally frozen, looks like a xorg problem ?) so i had to restart the system again...
requesting support please

A good idea will be to get the latest ISO which is 2011-2 and do the install from that as 2011-2 is just a few weeks old and has pretty recent packages

Always sounds advice to install from the latest ISO. If you install from 2011-01 then you have to bother with the transition from KDE 4.4 to 4.6 (along with several others) that you wouldn't have to worry about if you installed from 2011-02.

md5 was checked ok
well i understand but feel annoyed : have to reinstall all apps
if i start again from 2011-02, how about my separate home partition : do i have to remove everything concerning kde before to move home again ? i usualy install on the root partition with old user login, then from live media modify the fstab to tell where the new home is (while copying files from install to new home location). In this case i risk to mess up the kde config with old one don't i ?
thanks for your advices,

I keep a simple policy. That is to keep data in seperate partitions. Since I do not
use a seperate /Home, I do not keep important data in it.
So reinstallation is not really a problem. Just a few changes in some settings again,
but I feel it is worth it.
Make a seperate data partition- you can use the aptosid live cd. Shift data and reinstall
the latest iso.

So reinstallation is not really a problem. Just a few changes in some settings again,
but I feel it is worth it.
Make a seperate data partition- you can use the aptosid live cd. Shift data and reinstall
the latest iso.
i do the same (separate data storage) and i use a separate home partition too.
i was considering aptosid a rolling release not needing reinstall at regular intervals, but as recently experimented sometimes, changes might be too important to allow that. too bad all apps have to be reinstalled and configured even if this is relatively quick and eased by the times being.
so i now have done this :
one partition for system, one partition for home.
from live medium
(the new release of aptosid) :
i reinstall on the root partition the new version of aptosid
with a
i restart the machine from live medium
I rename my
folder in
(on the partition that was previously mounted as /home)
i recreate a
folder on the future (and ex) home partition
i copy the
from root partition home directory to this new
folder on new (future) home partition
i copy all files and folder that are non system-files (ie everything that is'nt a .something file or folder and that is'nt a desktop link) from the
folder to the new
folder on new home partition
then i edit the fstab file from the new install (in etc folder of root partition)
to get the new home partition mounted as /home (using uuid for selecting the right partition)
i reboot to new system and i tune it (du, reinstalling apps, etc.)
for the iceweasel stuff (keeping preferences etc history passwds) i copy the folder abcdefgh.default in the .mozilla/firefox folder of ex-myuser to the new .mozilla/firefox folder
this is heavy but it works

Playoff Predictions, Round 3.. and some Oil news..
So, to start.. yesterday MacTavish inked big Russian D-man Anton Belov to a 1-year deal (reportedly a cap hit of $1.525M with bonuses). This supposedly was the best we could do as far as length, on an entry level deal… and once it expires, he should be an unrestricted free agent. It's a fairly low risk move. The Oilers have full expectations this guy can jump into the lineup next year. He sounds fairly raw in his defensive game, which may be a concern. But it sounds like he's a good puck carrier, and fairly physical. In the KHL this year, he had 9 goals and 17 assists in 46 games for Omsk. He also played in the World Hockey Championships and is being considered for the Russian Olympic team. He also was 3rd on his team with a +19 plus minus rating. He is 6'4″, 216 lbs, according to Elite Prospects. The scouting report on him had this to say:
A large defenseman, Belov is still an excellent skater. He can control the offensive game with his passing skills and hard shot. Could improve his defensive game.
Seems alright.
The Oilers are also in the mix for a goaltending phenom out of Finland, Antti Raanta. Raanta played 45 games this year for Assat Pori in which he put up a 21-10-11 record, with a remarkable, league leading GAA of 1.85 and SV% of 0.943. He tweeted just a short bit ago that he's made his decision. Edmonton, Minnesota and another team were said to be in the mix.. and Michael Russo, beat writer for the Wild, feels that the Wild are out of consideration now. Come on Edmonton!
On to the playoff predictions…
Playoff Predictions
Round 2 saw Racki getting 4 out of 4 series winners correctly ( 11 for 12, bitches!), Steve-O, Hemmerlady and Metal&Oil each got 3 out of 4 winners correct, and Trogdor fumbled blindly for 2 out of 4 correct. Series lengths, different story. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd count how many wins each player was off by. Maybe next year… that's my Steve Tambellini motto.
Post your round 3 predictions in the comments!

The fifth day of the KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup proved to be a very relaxed affair as light winds and glorious sunshine graced Klitmoeller for the entire day. In the afternoon Dany Bruch (Starboard / Severne / AL360), Alex Mussolini (Tabou / Gaastra), Flo Jung (RRD / Gun Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) and Adam Lewis (Patrik / Point-7) took the opportunity to take part in the fishing challenge, which Lewis won. With the sailors on hold for the day we caught up with John Skye (RRD / MFC) and Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / North / MFC):
What fin setup do you prefer? Tri/Quad? Do you change depending on the conditions and if you do, what changes do you make?
JS: "I mostly use quad set up. I like the control they give in windy conditions and the drive and grip they have in down the line conditions. For really light junky conditions I normally set my boards up as twin, which makes them a bit more free and pivot better in small waves. Finally just to completely mix it up, RRD have just released a new board called the Firewave. It sits between a wave board and a freestyle wave and it's basically a really fast wave board. It is setup with thruster and if we get really onshore conditions I will use that board for sure to use the speed."
As the sail designer of RRD which aspects of sail designing do you enjoy and what are the most difficult parts of it?
JS: "It's all fascinating to be honest. It's great to be able to change the sail and then get to test it in a World Cup environment. You really learn a lot when you sail in all sorts of conditions. I now have the sails working exactly how I want them and I take everything I learn and put it into the other lines of sails so it's really interesting. The other side of it all is controlling the actual production. Materials, schedules, graphics, details, there are so many parts to work on. We have a great design team at RRD, and it shows in the final sail."
Was sail designing something that you always wanted to do / how did you get into it?
JS: "I never really knew what I would end up doing. I studied boat and sail design at Uni, and I have always loved the design side of things, but honestly I never thought I would end up where I am. Roberto was really behind me since the beginning and has been great at giving me every opportunity. The more I get into it, the more I am enjoying it, so it's great."
Port or starboard tack?
JS: "I would say I am equal on both tacks. I learnt everything on starboard tack in the beginning but then with the tour being so heavy in port tack I tried to sail more in those conditions. Now I live in Gran Canaria so actually sail port tack a lot more. However if we have to compete I would choose starboard tack. I think overall the level is higher on port tack, so for sure I have better chances on starboard. The ideal for me would be a really good mix of everything."
Favorite move and what are you working on at the moment?
JS: "Last year it was pretty clear that doubles were vital, so I have been killing myself all year trying them. Also 360s seem to be coming more and more common and consistent so I have been trying them a lot. Favorite move is probably a Goita in down the line conditions."
You and Nayra [Alonso] (Fanatic / Severne) had a baby this year. How has that effected your training?
JS: "To be honest between all the testing and design work and trying to balance family time too it has meant a lot less "training" time. Now when I get to just wave sail it is pretty special and it has really motivated me. I don't really train moves as much as I probably should. I just go sailing and try to enjoy it and push myself as much as possible.
Victor Fernandez
Which boards do you use?
VF: "It depends on the conditions, but for example here on the first day when it was side / side-off I was using my quad, but yesterday I was using my tri-fin. When it's cross on they feel faster and they sit a little higher on the water than the quad, which I prefer in those conditions."
Do you change your fin positions depending on the conditions?
VF: "Not so much, I find the best positions for every board and I tend to just leave it like that. I change somethings, for example here I use different fins in my quad than I would in Maui or Chile where the wave has more power and I need more grip."
Where was your part in 'Below the Surface' shot?
VF: "I discussed my part with Andre Paskowski at the beginning of the year and we decided to shoot my part in Maui, Peru - which was the first time I had been there and I was really stoked to be able to go there. The main part was filmed at my home spot, Almerimar, which will see more cross-on sailing and also Gran Canaria"
How do you find the sailing in Cold Hawaii?
VF: "It's pretty good I always love it here because the conditions are always changing. I think you need to be a really good all round sailor to do well here. There's a lot of guys that can do well here, but we also always see big surprises in the early rounds over the last few years."
Lastly, how are you feeling ahead of the weekend when the wind and waves are forecast to return?
VF: "I'm prepared - I have to be as I'm in the first heat to be sailed. I'm ready and I really want to compete!"
Thanks Victor and good luck for the rest of the event.
The forecast for tomorrow looks much more promising for the past few days, so hopefully we will see the single elimination resumed. The skippers' meeting has been called for 10am tomorrow morning with the first possible start at 10:30am.

Try Outs
Finding job placement for an adult with autism involves a number of steps. I've talked about identifying jobs in previous columns. That's just the beginning. Once an employer has met the autistic individual, I have had a meeting with the employer about the job, and I have done everything I can to try to get someone with autism hired, we play the waiting game for the phone call. I can tell you from experience, there is no better feeling in the world then getting that phone call from the employer saying "We have decided to hire your individual." There is also no greater reward for my job then calling up a parent or telling them in person that I got their child a job, when even the parents think the individual will never work. And it's not about just finding someone with autism any job, but finding them the right job. The right job—one that can be maintained—can provide an autistic adult a chance to earn money and have a sense of independence.
Once we have found the job and the employer has worked out all the details, it is now time to start training. Even if the job is something the individual has done in the past, it's a good idea to have a job trial. This way the staff or the manager can see where the individual will be working, see how the individual does with specific tasks, and everyone can make sure the environment is right for the individual to be working in. An example of this might be if the individual already knows how to clean gym equipment from past experience, I might have found them a job doing the same thing but in a different gym. We then would want to make sure that this specific environment is right for the individual and for everyone else at the jobsite as well. A job trial is also a good way to identify the areas the individual may need help in as they perform the job. The staff can plan training accordingly or the parent can help develop skills on days the individual is not working.
If the job is something the individual has never done before, then some training days will be needed. There are many different ways to teach someone with autism a new job, but no way works better than another. You may have to try different ways of teaching to find the right one to fit your individual. It is often useful to do a "task analysis." Break the job down into small steps and teach one step at a time, and then once the individual has completed all steps separately you can have them combine the steps into one task. Adding a checklist to this process can help, too. Once the individual has completed a step, have them check it off as a reward for finishing the task. This way, the staff or parent can also see which steps the individual needs the most work on and help with.
Some individuals may need a more supported approach to teaching them something new. For this we can use the "hand-over-hand" method of teaching. This is where the staff or parent actually does the task while holding the individual's hand. Little by little, the staff or parent pulls their hand away until the individual can do the task independently. Another method to go along with hand-over-hand teaching, is "modeling." This is where the staff or parent actually does the task, showing and explaining each step. Then the staff or parent has the individual do the task, helping them as needed along the way.
There is no one right way of teaching someone with autism how to do a job. It is just a matter of finding the teaching method that works best for the individual to do the job independently. Some individuals may always need a job coach, and some might be able to do jobs without any help at all. The reason I do what I do is to help adults with autism achieve the independence of earning their own money and joining America's workforce. And to help demonstrate that just because someone has autism doesn't mean they can't have jobs in the community.

Choosing the Right Storage Solution for your Small Business
NAS, virtualized, or cloud—it all depends on your needs
World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee said, "Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves." So true. But data is only as useful as your storage plan. Data that's scattered all over your company on PCs, laptops, and smartphones or other personal devices can be hard to manage and susceptible to loss. If this sounds familiar, it might be time to revamp your storage strategy.
Small businesses have access to the same storage options as the biggest corporations, but that doesn't mean those options are necessarily appropriate or cost-effective for you. For instance, you may not have the funds for or need to hire a full-time IT person, much less a dedicated storage expert. So the solution you choose should be easy to manage. It should also be easy to expand, because the third certainty in life after death and taxes is that you will need to buy more storage.
Let's look at your choices:
- Network attached storage. Unlike a general-purpose file server, a network attached storage device, a.k.a. NAS (pronounced naz), is a an appliance that is built with hardware and software specialized for storage. For instance, it usually does not have a keyboard or screen, and configuration is done via a web browser. It's the easiest option here for small companies to set up and manage. In addition, Cisco NSS300 Series Smart Storage includes on-disk data encryption, the only such small business NAS currently on the market.
- Storage area network. A storage area network (SAN) solution connects an array of hard drives to a server and delivers data in small blocks instead of entire files, which makes it a good choice for companies with employees who are heavy email or database users. However, SAN solutions are more difficult to manage than NAS devices.
- Virtual storage. This option is good for growing companies that have multiple on-site servers, including NAS devices. Virtualized storage lets you combine multiple storage devices into a single, virtual storage resource. By assigning storage to users no matter where it's located on the network, you can optimize server capacity and performance.
- Cloud. System crashes, viruses, natural disasters, hardware theft—any of these could result in damaging data loss. Cloud backup, the practice of making copies over the Internet for safekeeping, is the latest hot option for data protection. Cloud storage relieves you of the decision-making process and expense of buying hardware or choosing a physical off-site location. It's a good solution for customer information, financial information, or any other business-critical data that requires absolute protection. You can also combine NAS and cloud backup for more comprehensive data protection. For example, Cisco NSS300 Series Smart Storage, a NAS solution, includes an optional subscription to the Mozy cloud backup service.
"In reality, most companies will eventually use a hybrid of these options," says Mike Karp, vice president and principal analyst at Ptak/Noel, an IT consultancy. Because even in small businesses, users have different needs.

Jeff Widman necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Design a site that allows people to submit their financial secrets... and peruse others' secrets. Like postsecret.blogspot.com
No coding--just designs. (In PSD format.)
The vision:
Create a website like postsecret.blogspot.com except targeting financial secrets.
A place where users can quickly share their stories, have an
associated photo, and read other's stories. Check out the Post Secret
site and you'll understand the idea more.
When it is done, it will do the following:
- Allow users to painlessly add a secret.
- Keep viewers engaged--once they begin viewing, continue drawing them in.
- Provide an eventual funnel towards another personal-finance blog, e-mail newsletter, forums, etc.
- Allow other website owners to embed a widget that streams content from MoneyUndercover.comWe need a web site that is simple, smooth, and cohesive. People go
to a site like this to experience a story, not find information. Think
of browsing at Ross or TJ Maxx, not searching to find content quickly.
We specifically need:
- A logo
- A design for the home page (link to a rough drawing)
- A design for the upload/add secret page (another rough drawing)
- A design for an embeddable widget. This "Stream the Secrets" widget will draw users into the site.Target Audience:
People interested in personal finance, sharing secrets, and
community. People who enjoy browsing Post Secret
General feel:
Since this is a "money secrets" site, it should be designed
accordingly: A little dark, a little confessional, tinged with guilt /
surprises / uncovering secrets, not all friendly and web2.0
Similar idea, different feel to these sites:
We like these designs:
Our design would like to have:
- The "Stream the Secrets" widget that will be embeddable (so where should the box with the code go?)
- For the people that want to add a secret, make it as visually frictionless as possible
- Join the MoneyUndercover Forums
- Every third post is intended for promotional content--a visual bar with room to insert content.
- Get updates by email (Note: like an RSS feed, e-mail site updates.)Things that bring bad karma:
- A site without a cohesive feel.
- Not designing a logo.
- A cluttered site
- Not following the general sketches in the attached files. Note: We changed the name from Naughty Coin to Money Under Cover--ignore the old name on the sketches.
- See above
- Coding. We just need a design.

Jasper Hill Ventures
I'm 32, been living in China for 5 years, working in the accounting and finance industry. I'm shedding my big-corporate ties and venturing out on my own (well almost). Teaming with a 45 year old former executive, we're leveraging our connections in the US and China to make big things happen. Jasper Hill Ventures is our boutique brand. Named after my late grandfather Granison Jasper Hill, this company is a tribute to the people that made me who I am today. Granison Jasper Hill was a tractor / farm equipment salesman in rural Ohio, USA. where he raised my mother, an amazing woman. Unfortunately he died when she was reasonably young (high school). I want this company to reflect his legacy, his importance, and the respect we hold his legacy while also relaying the capabilities/confidence and forward-facing nature of this new company and the opportunities we hope to make realities.
We will have offices in good/premium locations in both Beijing and San Francisco. (ultimately I will be using a Chinese company name and contact info as well, but we'll get there later).
We're not a retailer, and we won't be soliciting customers via advertising or marketing. We are boutique. Presenting ourselves to business partners directly (via business cards, and personal networks). Those who reach our website will likely do so after they've met us, and are looking to learn more about who we are and what we stand for. Most likely the people we will be interacting with will be wealthy business men, government officials, and other people involved in deals (lawyers, bankers, professionals).
As noted in the "about myself " section, I'm looking for a company identity that we can use to present ourselves to selected business contacts. Limited mostly to use in business cards, email footers, and a simple website, the logo does not need to be complex or flashy.
In some regard I think something understated perhaps a retro, or classic look could be cool. But with a finance background I'm not well placed to give too much artistic direction. I'm open to a wide range of designs and encourage folks to be creative.
As with any brand, I would like the logo to be distinctive enough to be recongizable and to help build a brand over time.
Thanks for the creative help! Looking forward to your awesome ideas helping to propel my new company forward!

WestSide Observatory
The Westside Observatory, located atop a five-acre hill on Western's Westside campus, houses a 20-inch computer controlled Ritchey-Chrétien reflector. This telescope is dedicated to astrophysical research by undergraduate and graduate students and faculty. It is currently equipped with a thermoelectrically cooled CCD camera, which is used to obtain multi-color digital images of planets, faint stars and other deep-sky objects. Two CCD spectrometers are also available to obtain digital spectra at classification-level and higher resolution for celestial objects.
The WCSU planetarium, located in the Westside Observatory building, seats 40 people; its Spitz A3p star projector, special effects projectors and video projection system are used for teaching and presenting science programs to school and scout groups. Public nights to view stars and planets take place (weather permitting) on a regular schedule (see http://www.wcsu.edu/starwatch ) during the spring and fall terms.
Center for Galactic Astronomy
Astronomical computing is carried out at the Westside Observatory and at the Center for Galactic Astronomy. Students and faculty routinely use software like MaxIm DL (CCD camera control and image processing), Binary Maker (numerical modeling), MICA (ephemerides), TCS (telescope tracking and slewing) and The Sky (star charts and telescope linkage), with many other programs, simulations and databases accessible through the Web.
