Did a test search on Seattle hotels; the #1 hotel returned was in California and the #5 hotel was in Kentucky. So I won't be relying on this site anytime soon. Cool idea, though.
Find the cheapest hotel in seconds
Let's cut to the chase; when you're shopping around for hotels, you want the best location, the best star-rating and the best service for the lowest possible price. Usually, that means opening up about 10 browser windows and comparing the deals. Well, not any more. A new search-engine I've just discovered does it all for you in seconds.
The website, according to Mike Elgan of Computerworld , is basically using Google Maps technology. It mashes it up with a hotel-finder to give you a complete list of hotels in the area you choose, ordered by price. It's called, wait for it, Map Channels Hotel Directory. Thankfully, the service it provides is way better than the uninspired name.

Thankfully, the service it provides is way better than the uninspired name.
When you first get to the site , you put in your destination, check-in date and number of nights. The radar on the map to your right begins spinning and shortly thereafter, a list of hotels starts appearing on the page. Give it time to work, as it finds cheaper hotels it slots them in until you get a complete list of what's available, the rating and the price.
I also suggest changing the listing to DETAILED, which gives you a complete write-up of each hotel and pictures. That can be really helpful because some of these bargain hotels look right at home in a horror flick. But others, well, you'll be surprised at how cheap the good hotel rooms can go for.
IMAGE GALLERY is an even better option if you're a visual shopper. This basically gives you photos of the hotels with a room rate beneath. And, you can also order your lists by rating or name, and change the currency, too.
Give it a try, let me know how it works out for you. But I know I'll probably leave Hotels.com, Priceline, Travelocity and Orbitz alone for a while. This saves me a lot of time and trouble. Happy travels.

I searched my home town and it left out several hotels that are closer and cheaper. Time to reprogram.
I just tried this for a small town I like to visit. The search worked great for motels that were medium priced and up. Lower priced motels, such as Motel 6, did not show up. The independently owned motels didn't show up either.
This appears to be a good place to start when looking for a motel, but you still need to do some research if you want to be sure you found the best place.
I tried a search on Chicago. It is a great tool to get a visual rundown of all the hotels and locations. I think this interface to get an idea of what is where is better than any of the other search sites. But every hotel listed had the rack rate price. Certainly not a deal. I still think using Betterbidding.com + priceline & hotwire is going to get you a far better deal. But using this site combined with those would make figuring out what is available in the various zones would make figuring out the hotels presented on sites like hotwire even easier combined with betterbidding.
Since we were getting $350 rooms for $120 both times we booked in downtown Chicago it is certainly worth a bit of extra time. I would still use this new site to get a really good idea of the lay of the land. Another good one is Tripadvisor.com. I found out more info about hidden fees, what to avoid and things like where cheaper parking is there than anywhere else.
Recently went with my family to Chicago and wasn't able to find anything less than $200/night for the downtown area. Several of the hotels charged $400/night for Mon. and Tues. then reduced the nightly rate throughout the week. Did you only use priceline and hotwire? Thought about hotwire, but was afraid of booking without knowing which hotel---couldn't find any feedback from customers on that.
I compared this website against www.sidestep.com , which is my usual flight/hotel search engine.
Sidestep found consistently cheaper rates, so I recommend using that instead.
I looked for a three-night stay in Annapolis, MD for early May.
Nothing under $90 a night.
Went to hotwire.com and got a 4-star Westin for $69 a night, plux tax. I found out hotel name, after booking it, non-refundable.
I have used Hotwire.com for about 7 years, and never spent more than $70 a night for any stay in a 2.5 star or higher property.
I think one of the best ways of knowing if a hotel will suit your needs is reading reviews of other hotel guests. Sometimes pictures can give a nice impression but they don't show how the mattress feels or how noisy it is. The only way of knowing this on forhand is by reading the findings of others. Right?
I just searched Gulf Shores, AL which I am very familiar with. The map showed a certain hotel as being beach front. When I saw the name I thought, "I've stayed there before and it is not on the beach."
I went to the hotel website and I was exactly right. It was the same one I stayed in years ago about 10 miles north of the beach. Be careful and double check before you book.
I tried Las Vegas. The rates shown on the summary page didn't match the rates when I clicked through. Also, a lot of the returned results were from reservetravel.com, which has terrible reviews online (including a review on ripoffreport).
No question about the lowest prices... and this is verified by motel clerks and motel managers. Coupon book prices even beat "member" prices.
The downside is that your room may be 2nd floor, though we usually get first floor if we ask.
It's the coupon books that are available at State Managed Rest/Information stops (and usually at quick stop stores and many restaurants). We're not world travellers, but can speak for the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.
The books that we find to be the best are the Red Cover and Green Cover books. We never make reservations, and have only been turned away once about 10 years ago, when a college Homecoming game filled all motels. (We "motel" about 10 - 15 nights/year).
Very common for us to check at the same time as someone in front of us who has a reservation and gets AARP or AAA discount. Very typical that their rate is $59-$69 while our rate is $39 to $49. (route from Illinois to Florida where rates are lower than in major cities.)
Of course you have to be flexible, because you can't book the rooms at these prices in advance, and if you are arriving after about 7-8PM, the rooms that were set aside for the coupon trade, may be gone. (In which case you just go to the next motel on the list, or drive 15 miles to the next town.) We almost always plan to check in before 6, and always get a room.
You can pretty much depend on prices about $15 - $20 under rack price... and... make no mistake about it... without the coupon... no special price.
In some towns, the top price hotels are not in the coupon books, but usually all of the majors are.
The coupon books used to have websites, but no more... so if you're planning on going cross country, you'd better get into the state where you'll stay, before 5 or 6PM, when some of the information services close for the day.
This sounds like a good search tool! I just wish I knew about it when I planned my trip to NYC months ago. We ended up staying with a friend's family so it worked out fine but the next time I go, I want to stay in a hotel close to Times Square. Does the website have it where you can enter landmarks to find hotels close to a specific location?
I compared the results for gulf shores hotels on there and on http://bookit.com/us/alabama/gulf-shores/ and like everyone says, the result are a bit thin. Good effort though!

Jane Golden, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, showed the CHCA Board of Directors a concept for a mural planned for the side of Bredenbeck's Bakery at 8126 Germantown Ave. Her presentation, which was intended to answer questions and receive feedback from the oard, received a mostly favorable reception, though some members expressed reservations.
"We're really excited, but we want to make sure that we have community buy in," Golden said.
Golden, whose work arranging for murals to be painted on the sides of Philadelphia buildings has attracted international attention, said that places all over the city request murals from the Mural Arts Program. She said she was in Chestnut Hill because of the efforts of Karen Boyd, the owner of Bredenbeck's, who started a petition in her store last year asking for a mural on the east-facing wall of her building.
The Mural Arts Center raised money, and the program worked with the director of the Woodmere Art Museum and curators from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to find the artist, muralist Ann Northrup. Northrup's work is featured throughout Center City, including a mural on the side of the Independence Charter School at 16th and Lombard streets.
Golden said Northrup's work represents some of the best work in the city for her ability to consider context and incorporate it into her work.
"We want to create an environment that is inspiring and exciting," Golden said, adding that she wants to be "a good community partner."
She said that mural arts tours in the city have attracted thousands of visitors and are a good thing for commerce, adding that restaurants have been active participants, willing to work with the program because the murals attract business.
"We want to do everything we can to look at that nexus of public art, community and economic development," said Golden.
Golden was joined by Caroline King, fundraiser for the Mural Arts program. King, a Chestnut Hill resident, told the board she was there to solicit advice to raising the last bit of funding needed to pay for the mural. One idea she suggested was the possibility of auctioning off the name of an ice cream flavor at Bredenbeck's for a donation. Bredenbeck's has raised some of the money for the mural, and the Mural Arts Program would also help to fund the effort.
The cost of the mural is estimated at $25,000 and funds are still needed before work can begin. Murals are created with special paints that are guaranteed to last between 20 and 25 years.
That permanence was off-putting to some board members. Board member Elizabeth Bales was concerned that the mural didn't fit the aesthetics of the Avenue.
"I'm afraid that it sets a precedent for something that's not in keeping with the style of the community," she said.
She suggested a temporary arrangement using less-permanent paint or a panel system that would allow the mural to be added to and removed from the wall. Golden was receptive to this and referred to a material called Alumalite, a weather-proof material that can be affixed to the building in 6' by 8' panels.
"I love it," said Board member Joyce Lenhardt. "That blank wall has not contributed to our historic district."
Board member Jean Wedgewood, ultimately the only dissenting vote, felt the mural should be "more architectural" and asked whether the example shown to the Board was the final version.
King said that the final decision is Boyd's, but the example shown to the board was the result of multiple committee meetings, with Boyd and adjacent property owner Richard Snowden, who have both given their approval.
Wedgewood worried that without a formal vote from the board, the community association were "superfluous" to the process.
"We don't want to do something the community doesn't want," Golden said. She added that while the concept shown is the final submission, the artist is open to community input. "You are not superfluous to this process."
Bales suggested that the mural should be temporary and the concept taken to the community at-large through a write-in campaign with the Local. In response, Golden said she would confer with her director of operations to put together an alternative budget for the cost of doing the mural on Alumalite panels.
Bales asked if painting murals would attract graffiti. Golden vehemently denied that it did.
"No it absolutely does not," she said.
She added that the Mural Arts Program has done between 1,800 and 1,900 outdoor murals since their inception in 1984 and in all of that time, only 6 have been defaced in any way.
"It's a startling statistic," she said.
Board member Mark Keitz asked about the kind of endorsement her group was looking to receive from the Board.
"We have a very intensive design review process," Golden said. "This still have to be reviewed by a panel of [the artist's] peers."
Golden's presentation is the culmination of a year's worth of planning, during which she met with Boyd and Snowden, formed a design committee, and selected an artist.
Work on the mural is hoped to begin this spring. The board took no formal action.

Nearly four years after they clashed in a memorable TV interview, Sarah Palin and Katie Couric face off again — this time in a morning-show battle royale.
Viewers will cast their votes with their clickers Tuesday.
If you're a Couric fan who misses those bygone mornings on the "Today" show, then click to "Good Morning America," where Couric, now an ABC star, is subbing all week for co-host Robin Roberts.
But maybe you love the "mama grizzly" panache of Sarah Palin. And maybe you're still miffed by how Couric, then anchoring the "CBS Evening News," went to town on Palin during the 2008 presidential race. Then tune into NBC's "Today," where, during the 8 a.m. (EDT) hour, Palin will serve as a guest host at Couric's old haunt. (Take that, Katie!)
Welcoming the former Alaska governor to Studio 1A is the "Today" show's brashest counter-move after "GMA," the scrappy ratings runner-up, announced Couric's fill-in role last week.
On Monday's show, the "Today" crew checked in by phone with Palin, who, reporting from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, declared, "We're making that trek cross-country to see y'all and say hi to your good viewers."
"What are you doing to prepare — are you reading some newspapers?" joked host Matt Lauer. He was alluding to an embarrassing moment from the Couric interview, when Palin couldn't name any newspapers she regularly read, instead replying that she read "all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."
"That's a fine how-do-you-do! Here we go!" Palin laughed on Monday. But, turning serious, she added, "I appreciate NBC's boldness in having me on. Doesn't it kind of reflect some of that diversity of opinion that you espouse?"
"Or desperation," cracked former host Meredith Vieira, who was making a surprise appearance.
But "Today" isn't exactly desperate. Unrelenting is more like it, especially as "GMA" whittles away at the ratings gap that has kept "Today" on top every week since December 1995. The most recent Nielsen report found "GMA" had only 137,000 fewer viewers than "Today" (an average of 4.84 million to 4.98 million), the closest the two shows have been since 2008.
Clearly, "Today" isn't going to sacrifice its winning streak without a fight.
The guest turn by Palin, who, before she entered politics worked briefly as a local TV sportscaster, was announced over the weekend on NBC's website. The network promised she would "reveal a different side" than viewers have seen before. During the 7 a.m. hour, she will also submit to an interview.
But "Today" has other viewer-luring tricks up its sleeve.
Announced guests this week include reality stars Giuliana and Bill Rancic (who appeared on Monday) and Kim Kardashian, as well as "Octomom" Nadya Suleman, Tori Spelling and over-the-top pop singer Nicki Minaj, who will perform live.
NBC teased that an undisclosed "Today" show "legend" would make a return visit on Monday's show. The legend turned out to be Vieira, who only exited last June. (She was back to announce she will re-join "Today" in London for the Summer Olympics.)
As if that weren't enough excitement, NBC broke the news in a Twitter posting that Tuesday's show would also include what it termed "a big NBC announcement" by ubiquitous TV personality Ryan Seacrest.
But all of this pales in comparison to the main event: Tuesday's morning-show showdown between Palin and Couric.
The original bout in October 2008 was a clear win for Couric, no matter if you thought she conducted a fair interview for which Palin was dismally underprepared or if you believe she came at Palin with a fusillade of unfair "gotcha" questions.
What will happen Tuesday?
Might either Palin or Couric make a reference, veiled or barbed, to the other? Which of them will score the higher ratings for this head-to-head hour? Will "Today" show devotees with an aversion to Palin turn to "GMA" to register their protest?
And will some viewers skip this rematch, if that's what it is, altogether? An available alternative, third-place rival "CBS This Morning," will likely be more focused on news than stunts.

"The toy industry told me it was never going to work, a cute idea that would never go mainstream," says Debbie Sterling, founder and CEO of GoldieBlox, in the ad that will see coveted airtime during the third quarter of the Super Bowl this Sunday.
Her small business, which makes toys that steer girls towards engineering, beat out a host of others in a contest run by Intuit Quickbooks.
GoldieBlox will appear alongside Doritos, Coke and the other big names. The company beat out thousands of other small companies with millions of votes in the six-month Intuit contest, which rewarded the winner with an all-expenses paid commercial for the big game. Some on social media likened it to winning the lottery, given a 30-second ad this year is running $4 million for the big game.
GoldieBlox beat out other top finalists such as Barley Labs, which makes all-natural dog treats, and Locally Laid Egg Company, which does pretty much what it says, and POOP — Natural Dairy Compost, which, er, also does just that.
"We still can't believe we won and will appear alongside some of the biggest brands in the world," said Sterling in a press release.
Check out some of the games that GoldieBlox makes, such as "The Star Spinner"
Founder Sterling spent a year researching gender differences to figure out a construction toy that would appeal to girls. The toys come with a story rather than an instruction manual, built around a role-model character that builds machines in order to solve problems. And boys apparently love the toys as well.
"As a father of two daughters, their mission really strikes a chord and it's clear voters around the world felt the same way," said Brad Smith, Intuit president and chief executive officer, in announcing the winner.
GoldieBlox is, oddly enough, locked in a legal battle with the Beastie Boys after Sterling produced a version of three girls playing with one of the company's toys to the tune of "Girls" and singing changed lyrics. It got millions of views before it was taken down. GoldieBlox sued the Beastie Boy,s saying their video was a parody and use of the song was fair, and Beastie Boys fired back with a suit that charges copyright and trademark infringement. GoldieBlox has reportedly said they are working to settle.
Still, plenty of high-fives were seen across Twitter on Friday:

Friends, I'm BACK! It was a rough weekend on Long Island but I was glad to be hunkered down with some of my favorite people. Mom baked little peach pies before we lost power, and we stocked up on plenty of alcohol and other nonperishables.
A giant tree was struck by lightning and fell, blocking our driveway. When the police commissioner came to tell us we couldn't leave the house for a few days, we broke out the pipecleaners and the beads, the books and the paper cups and decided to have a little party. Charades by candlelight can be more fun than you think. Living in sweats was pretty fab, too.
Here are some of our best shots. Send me yours!!
As some of you are aware, I have hoarding tendancies. This weekend trapped at Mom's house allowed me some time to clean out the closet, and two of my best girls scored tons of new duds!
There was also plenty of time to play with makeup, and baby bro even let us have fun doing his eyes!

Incanto owner Mark Pastore explains why his restaurant isn't on Opentable. His analysis is that Opentable is too expensive and monopolistic to offer much in the way of value to restaurants.
The recurring themes were the opinion that OpenTable took home a disproportionate (relative to other vendors) chunk of the restaurants' revenues each month and the feeling of being trapped in the service, it was too expensive to keep, but letting it go could be harmful. The GM of one very well known New York restaurant group, which spends thousands of dollars on OpenTable each month, put it to me this way, "OpenTable is out for itself, the worst business partner I have ever worked with in all my years in restaurants. If I could find a way to eliminate it from my restaurants I would." Another high-profile, 3.5-star San Francisco restaurateur told me he feels held hostage by OpenTable. For the past several years, his payments to them have been substantially more than he has himself earned from 80-hour workweeks at his restaurant. But he believes that if he stops offering it, his customers will revolt and many would stop coming to his restaurant. So he keeps paying, but carries a grudge and wishes for something better.
Startup opportunity? (via @amandahesser)

If you lost a home to foreclosure you may have money or free legal advice coming to you under two independent programs whose deadlines are approaching fast.
The national mortgage settlement will divide $1.5 billion among qualifying foreclosure victims who respond to a mass mailing by Jan. 18. The payments are part of a $25 billion settlement of a lawsuit by 49 states against five big banks.
All of the $1.5 billion will be divided among those who respond. About 1.75 million letters have been sent to people who may qualify.
"The money's going out no matter what," said Patrick Madigan, the Iowa assistant attorney general directing the payments. None of it reverts to the banks, he said.
To be eligible, you must have lost your home to foreclosure between Jan. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2011, and the foreclosure must have involved mortgages from one of the banks, or been serviced by them: Ally Financial/GMAC, Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo.
The toll-free number to call is 1-866-430-8358. Set your browser to www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com to file a claim online.
Consumers Union has been encouraging foreclosure victims to apply before the deadline passes.
"We want people to know if they are eligible they should claim their money," said Nora Garcia of Consumers Union. "It's not a scam."
"The thing we've run into is they think this another scam. This is not a scam. This is legitimate. The banks are not administering this money. The National Mortgage Settlement Monitor is administering this," she said.
Under a second program called independent foreclosure review, homeowners whose homes were foreclosed on between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2011, by any one of more than two dozen loan servicers can have their loan documents reviewed by an expert to see if proper procedures were used. There could be financial relief for some borrowers.
The deadline for that program is Dec. 31.
Call toll-free 1-888-952-9105 or set your browser to www.independentforeclosurereview.com.
Another important date is coming up for Californians in trouble with their mortgages or facing foreclosure. On Jan. 1, the Homeowner Bill of Rights becomes law.
That is the name for some new laws that will protect homeowners in foreclosure or nearing it; give them more notice about their ability to apply for loan modifications; prevent banks from using machines to sign foreclosure documents, and require loan servicers to have a single point of contact to answer questions.
Homeowners can file lawsuits if they aren't satisfied with the servicer's compliance with the new laws.

Contact Pete Carey at 408-920-5419.
There could be some cash in your future — or at the least, some free, expert advice on your legal options — if you have lost a home to foreclosure. Check out these programs before their deadlines pass.
If your primary residence was involved in a foreclosure process between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2010, you may qualify for a free independent foreclosure review. That could lead to compensation or some other form of relief.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Australia recently surprised everyone by abstaining on two UN General Assembly resolutions targeting Israel, signaling that the folks "down under" are growing fed up with the world body's biased approach to the Israeli-Arab conflict.
Like most other nations, Australia typically votes in favor of the dozens of UN resolutions targeting Israel every year. By the end of the General Assembly's current session, it will have passed 22 resolutions against Israel, and only four against the rest of the world combined.
Australian media wondered: why the change? A spokesperson for Foreign Minister Julie Bishop (pictured) told the Canberra Times that the recent abstentions "reflected the (Australian) government's concern that Middle East resolutions should be balanced."
The newspaper noted that the two resolutions on which Australia refused to vote condemned Israeli "settlement activity," while making no mention whatsoever of continued Palestinian terrorism and incitement.
In related news, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper continued to demonstrate his overt support for and love of Israel in his attendance of the annual Jewish National Fund gala dinner in Toronto.
Harper told the attendees that "Israel will always have Canada," before taking the stage and delighting the guests as the lead singer of a four-man rock band.

ElasticHosts makes cloudy servers newbie friendly
Partners with Cloudways, Hybrid Sites
ElasticHosts, the British hosting and cloudy infrastructure provider that is pitting its homegrown ElasticStack cloud fabric against the likes of VMware and the OpenStack and CloudStack projects, has tweaked its cloud offerings to make them suitable to relatively unsophisticated users.
Founders Richard Davies, the company's CEO, and Chris Webb, the CTO, have been running hosting companies since 1998, and ElasticHosts and the ElasticStack platform that they have built is the latest instantiation of their work.
The ElasticStack cloud fabric runs on Linux and uses the KVM hypervisor as its server abstraction and slicing tool. The first release of ElasticStack went live in 2008 internally at ElasticHosts, and in November 2010 the company rolled up its tools into a 1.0 distribution and allowed other service providers and those building internal clouds to buy software and support from ElasticHosts.
The 2.0 release, announced last July, merged the Sheepdog distributed block-level storage system, which is an open source project created by NTT Labs in Japan, with the ElasticStack fabric. This allows its end user customers to run compute and storage functions on the same server nodes rather than having to install a SAN or external clustered disk array to serve up storage for the VMs running on the fabric.
The ElasticHosts cloudy infrastructure is available through a self-service portal and capacity is acquired on an hourly basis, just like other clouds out there. But not everyone who needs to run a virtual server has the chops to do it properly, just as is the case with physical servers that get tucked under desks and stuffed in closets.
Therefore ElasticHosts is rolling out a managed service add-on to its cloudy slices. ElasticHosts wants to create code and run its six data centers – two outside of London, plus one in Toronto, Ontario; one in San Antonio, Texas, and the last in Los Angeles, California, all liked by Peer 1's 10Gbit backbone – not babysit end users.
But it also wants to offer better customer service than rival Amazon with its AWS cloud. And for this, Davies tells El Reg, ElasticHosts has subcontracted the handholding out to Cloudways, a cloud management tool and service provider based in Malta.
Pricing for the Managed Cloud Server service from ElasticHosts varies by the configuration and service level, says Davies, but generally speaking the uplift on the price compared to self-managed slices is about 30 per cent. The more services you add, the higher the price.
Unlike Amazon, which gives you fixed server images, ElasticHosts true to its name, allows you to pick the data center you throw your apps in and dial up and down the speed of the processor and the number of cores as expressed in aggregate megahertz across the cores, memory, disk, and data transfer out of the slice independently of each other.
You can monkey around with the pricing here, but the base slice with one 2GHz core, 1GB of main memory, and 1GB of disk is 12 cents an hour in the United States or eight pence an hour in the United Kingdom. Loading up a slice with all the CPU capacity (20GHz aggregate) and memory capacity (16GB) that ElasticHosts offers drives the price up to $1.40 per hour in the US and 99 pence per hour in the UK.
Add around 30 per cent to that to get management of the entire software stack on the image, including monitoring, patching, and backups. Cloudways will also do migrations from other clouds and clustering for high availability if you want, too.
For companies that want to set up simple HTML or PHP web sites, ElasticHosts is partnering with Hybrid Sites, which has created a distributed web application environment called Hybrid Cluster, to do automagic scaling and load balancing of virtual servers on the ElasticHosts cloud. The software also can be deployed on your own bare-metal servers and cloudy slices from CloudSigma, another hoster, if you want triple redundancy and load balancing. ®

Open MPI seems to be the new de facto standard MPI library, and you can compile it to be fully integrated with both SGE and Torque. I just set up a cluster using SGE and Open MPI (built with the --with-sge option), and I there's no need to tinker with the SGE's MPI startup wrapper scripts like in the past. Everything just works: SGE and OpenMPI communicate directly with each other, and SGE has complete control over ALL the MPI processes. A couple of years ago I did setup SGE with MPICH, and had to tinker with SGE's startup scripts to get everything to work correctly. Not that difficult. I could be wrong but I think at that time, to use Torque you needed to compile a separate mpiexec program developed by a 3rd party to get "tight integration" between MPI and Torque. It depended on the MPI implementation (and it still does). If it supported TM, then no 3rd party job launcher was necessary. For things like mpich 1.x that did not have TM support OSC's mpiexec job launcher provided tight torque/PBS integration. LAM-MPI and OpenMPI have had TM support for a long time. -- Glen L.

A 10-year study by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) scientists has found that brains of children and adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are 3-4 percent smaller than those of children who don't have the disorder and that medication treatment is not the cause. Indeed, in this first major study to scan previously never-medicated patients, they found "strikingly smaller" white matter volumes in children who had not taken stimulant drugs. Still, the course of brain development in the ADHD patients paralleled that of normal subjects, suggesting that whatever caused the disorder happened earlier.
Drs. Xavier Castellanos, Judith Rapoport, NIMH Child Psychiatry Branch, and colleagues, report on their magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study of 152 boys and girls with ADHD in the October 9, 2002 Journal of the American Medical Association.
Affecting 3-5 percent of school-age children, ADHD is characterized by over-activity, distractibility and impulsiveness. The disorder affects two to three times as many boys as girls, with as many as 20 percent of boys taking stimulant medication in some school systems. The new study strengthens the validity of the diagnosis by helping to put to rest criticism that structural brain abnormalities seen in ADHD might be drug-induced.
"There is no evidence that medication harms the brain," said Castellanos, who conducted the study at NIMH before joining New York University. "It's possible that medication may promote brain maturation."
Launched in l991, the study used MRI to scan 89 male and 63 female patients ages 5-18, with ADHD, and 139 age- and gender-matched controls, children and adolescents without ADHD. Most patients were scanned at least twice, and some up to four times over the decade.
As a group, ADHD patients showed 3-4 percent smaller brain volumes, in all regions. The more severe a patient's ADHD symptoms as rated by parents and clinicians the smaller were their frontal lobes, temporal gray matter, caudate nucleus and cerebellum.
While medicated patients' white matter volume did not differ from that of controls, white matter volume was abnormally small in 49 never medicated patients scanned. These results held up even after the researchers controlled for the fact that the unmedicated children tended to be younger.
Fibers that establish neurons' long-distance connections between brain regions, white matter normally thickens as a child grows older and represents one gauge of the brain's maturation. A layer of insulation called myelin progressively envelops these nerve fibers, making them more efficient, just like insulation on electric wires improves their conductivity.
"Children with ADHD are often described as less mature than their peers and this may relate to delays in white matter maturation," explained Castellanos. "While we do not yet know if medication can accelerate white matter growth, we do know that treating children with medication helps their behavior while they're taking the drugs. There is no evidence that it helps after they stop." Animal studies will be required to determine the impact of medication on brain maturation, he added.
In the current study, ADHD patients' developmental trajectories for nearly all brain regions paralleled growth curves for controls, but on a slightly lower track. "Fundamental developmental processes active during late childhood and adolescence are essentially healthy in ADHD," say the researchers. "Symptoms appear to reflect fixed earlier neurobiological insults or abnormalities." Evidence suggests that ADHD runs in families and may have genetic roots.
As might be expected with hyperactive subjects, the investigators had to discard 50 of 594 total scans due to blurring by motion in the scanner. Volumes of various brain structures and tissue were measured and analyzed by an automated system incorporating more than 100 networked computer workstations, developed in collaboration with researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI).
While the NIMH group had earlier thought that only certain brain structures were smaller in ADHD, this largest and most sophisticated study found that the whole brain is affected. It's possible that a recently discovered gene that determines brain size could play a role in the disorder, Castellanos suggested. He also suspects that what is now called ADHD may ultimately prove to be a group of disorders with different causes. To identify these subtypes, he suggests that the field begin studying "endophenotypes," factors that may predict the risk of ADHD in the same way that cholesterol predicts the risk of heart disease.
"MRI remains a research tool and cannot be used to diagnose ADHD in any given child, due to normal genetic variation in brain structure," noted Rapoport. "The measured influence of ADHD on brain volume can only be discerned statistically across groups of children with and without the disorder."
Also participating in the research were: Drs. Patti Lee, Deanna Greenstein, Liv Clasen, Regina James, Jay Giedd, and Wendy Sharp, Christen Ebens, Jonathan Blumenthal, James Walter, NIMH Child Psychiatry Branch; Dr. Neal Jeffries, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS); Drs. Alex Zijdenbos, Alan Evans, MNI, McGill University.
NIMH and NINDS are part of the NIH, the Federal Government's primary agency for biomedical and behavioral research. NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Install the libraries in /usr/local/xxxxx on the head node. Export this as an NFS share. Mount on all nodes, and put it into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Caroline County Virginia History
This county was named after Queen Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach, also known as simply Caroline of Ansbach (1683-1737), consort of King George II of Great Britain.[3] The reason for this choice as to the county's name was because the county was organized in 1728 on the basis of a legislative act of 1727, the year that George assumed the throne.
Parent County
1727--Caroline County was organized in 1728 on the basis of a legislative act of 1727. The county was formed from Essex, King and Queen, and King William Counties.
County seat: Bowling Green [2]
Boundary Changes
After the county's formation, additional land was added to Caroline County in 1742 and 1762 from King and Queen County.

Saint Louis Captures First Atlantic 10 Title

March 17, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) - Kwamain Mitchell scored 19 points, including a huge 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down, and tournament MVP Dwayne Evans added 16 to lead No. 16 Saint Louis to its first Atlantic 10 tourney title with a 62-56 win over No. 25 VCU on Sunday.
The veteran Billikens stayed just poised enough against the Rams' frenetic defensive pressure and a hostile crowd to win only the second conference tournament crown in school history.
Top-seeded Saint Louis (27-6) led 45-32 with less than 12 minutes left, and VCU was in all sorts of foul trouble. But the second-seeded Rams can erase a deficit as quickly as any team in the country, and VCU was within a point three minutes later.
Cody Ellis hit a 3-pointer on the Billikens' next possession, then made another clutch 3 for a 57-51 lead with more than two minutes left.
Treveon Graham led VCU (26-8) with 20 points.
Saint Louis had been the best team in the Atlantic 10 all season, led by eight juniors and seniors and an interim coach in Jim Crews.
Coach Rick Majerus died in December after being hospitalized for several months, and fans chanted his name as the players celebrated the title.
VCU missed its first six 3-point attempts, and the Rams struggled through two scoring droughts of more than five minutes in the first half.
When they don't score, they can't set up their press, and Saint Louis didn't commit a turnover for a 16-minute stretch spanning both halves.
But with VCU down 13, Graham hit a 3, just the Rams' second of the day, to spark a trademark VCU run. Rob Brandenberg turned a turnover into a three-point play in transition, then Briante Weber dished to Juvonte Reddic for a basket in the paint.
When Melvin Johnson, a freshman from the Bronx, made a jumper to pull the Rams within four, he pumped his fist and the crowd erupted as Saint Louis called a timeout.
It did little to calm the Billikens. Saint Louis broke the press but was still visibly flustered, and Mike McCall threw the ball to no one.
Saint Louis committed another turnover on its next possession, and Reddic's dunk in transition pulled VCU within 46-45 with less than nine minutes left.
Ellis calmly drained an open 3-pointer after Johnson fell down on defense. He drilled another jumper after Graham's 3 again drew the Rams within a point.
Mitchell made a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down to give Saint Louis a 54-48 lead with more than four minutes left.
VCU still wasn't done. With the Rams trailing 54-51, Brandenberg missed an open 3-pointer from the same spot in the corner where he made a much tougher one to all but clinch Saturday's win over UMass.
Saint Louis was making its first appearance in the A-10 title game after joining in 2005-06.

The January Awards
Best Lyrics: Magnetic Fields – Distortion
The album title, Distortion, refers to the Psychocandy-esque fuzz that permeates every song on this album—making it sound drearier and more hungover than anything you'd expect from Magnetic Fields. But holy bejeezus, the lyrics are a goddamn hoot. Some reviews of the album have actually complained about the lyrics in particular, citing Stephen Merritt's ongoing "downtrodden, sad-sack schtick," causing me to wonder if Noel Coward could very well be out of work if he was born in the 21st Century. Making mirth out of the morose is a tight market these days, apparently.
From "The Nun's Litany":
I want to be a topless waitress
I want my mother to shed one tear
I'd throw away this old, sedate dress
Slip into something a tad more sheer
I want to be an artist's model
An odalisque au naturel
I should be good at spin the bottle
While I've still got something left to sell
From "Too Drunk To Dream":
Sober, life is a prison
Shitfaced, it is a blessing
Sober, nobody wants you
Shitfaced, they're all undressing
No one should listen to any Magnetic Fields album before they listen to 69 Love Songs, but for the already initiated, the sharply pained ribaldry of Distortion's lyrics will remind you of at least one of a hundred reasons why you fell in love with the band in the first place. They're playing two nights at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco on Feb. 28-29, and man, is it ever sold out.
Best Sonic Quality: Black Mountain – In The Future
I saw Black Mountain late last December and it was undoubtedly one of the year's highlights. I drove down to the show in San Francisco on a complete whim and had no idea what to expect, brandishing only an ardent fascination with their self-titled debut, released three years ago.
The lights went down. The guitar amplifier billowed smoke. The drums illumined with each bass kick. The voices of Amber Webber and Stephen McBean cavorted together, intertwined, above a thundering morass. I was stupefied.
In The Future doesn't quite capture all of Black Mountain's hazy bombast, and its songs aren't as classic as those on the band's first record, but it's a mind-transporting headphone album nonetheless that just sounds great. They're playing at the Independent in San Francisco on Monday, Feb. 4.
Strange New Band: MGMT – Oracular Spectacular
They're too hippie-sounding for the fixed gear crowd but they're, like, too concerned with their own image for the stoner crowd. I still can't figure out if I like 'em or not. Their video, though, is an absolute work of art. So, yeah: strange new band.
