It installs flawlessly, it works and it looks good.
Customer support is superb and a very minor issue was addressed within hours in spite of the time difference. I unreservedly recommended it as the best of Classified Ads extensions and having tried most of them I feel qualified to say so.
My only caveat is that it is completely US focused and although the states themselves are editable, it would be very useful to have the back-end facility to change the 'State' label to the more appropriate 'County' or 'Area' for use in UK and other countries.
Finding every single instance of 'State'in the code is tricky and time consuming but it can be done - I hope.
This is a superbly professional extension that sets a standard and is very well worth the cost. Five stars from me - no hesitation!
Thanks for the kind review! Our team agrees that we need change the "States" functionality to fit all countries. "States" will be changed to "locations" in the next version which will be released soon
Attacks are logged and once you know where they come from, it is a simple task to log into cPanel and block an IP or even a range of IPs - usually from countries where your only visitors are bots and hackers.
Support is superb and helpful so if you have any problems leave a message you'll get every assistance. This extension does the business superbly and unobtrusively.
In my opinion it should be used with every serious Joomla website. Highly recommended!
Support? Prompt, courteous and very helpful. I hope this developer will continue to work on this (and other) quality extensions and I have no hesitation in recommending this one.
This has several excellent features to recommend it, namely, it permits customization for a range of display definitions and the size of the grid is completely adjustable.
Installation is fast and easy with an intuitive back-end that lets you experiment with settings until it's perfect.
I contacted the developer for some assistance and the response was fast and helpful, bearing in mind the time difference between countries. Good support is always a great encouragement when buying commercial extensions.
The developer seems keen to add to this extension and I can recommend it as doing exactly what it claims to do with much potential to do more. It is good value for money and beats everything else I've tried.
One caveat - study the settings and try different ones, read the support documents then read them again. Learn what it can do because it is more powerful that you might imagine for a plugin. Try it, love it, use it... SIGE is boss!
Wow, nice review. Thank you! I wish you success with SIGE.
thanks for your review
i think i really forgot this feature for guest user
i will add it in close future
Initially it installs and works as predicted but it might not look quite as you want it or fit into your theme. No problem - every part of the extension can be customized BUT you really must study the documentation or you'll be missing out on much of what this very powerful, versatile music player can do.
One of the best features is that it permits the use of music files from almost anywhere and will take the information from tags or if you prefer, the filename. This gives it a serious advantage over many other players.
It works well with responsive templates although you must have regard for the dimensions of the player itself and be economical with the amount of information displayed if you want it to be 'mobile friendly' but this is another great feature! It gives you lots of choices...
My initial application was to create a 'jukebox' but I'm gradually migrating a whole music collection to use it and of course it can be used to play single items in a blog page - or several individual items on the same page.
The creator of Commedia has not overlooked what is often overlooked by others, namely, when you start to play a different track, the one already playing stops. Simple perhaps but essential for serious use.
So far I haven't found a way to make it 'auto-play' but no doubt this will be included at some point - or have I just missed something?
I haven't used the 'popup' player because I haven't got around to tweaking the layout but it's a useful feature to have.
Having started off with several reservations about this extension, I have come to love it and for what it costs, it is well worth the time and effort of making it work for you. I recommend it without reservations.
Best of all, the developer is happy to support it and takes all feedback or requests very seriously. Full marks from me!
Thank You too! :)
Two remarks:
1) Commedia can get tags from mp3, wav, m4a and mp4-files, but can not to get ID3-tags information from file on external server (FTP, HTTP(S), DROPBOX). But follow news on my site, may be it will get them in the future too.
2) Commedia has autoplay too. See the demonstrations, please. ;)
With a componenet that provides everything needed to construct a custom form (only if you want to) and a plugin to let you design your own contact page with content and images, this is all you need. You can even use it as a module!
Just one very important point - read the manual and you'll find everything you need to know. It works - beautifully!
Nevertheless, it is a superior extension that I can recommend for anyone wanting a simple yet versatile music player.
I bought this extension to provide a single sign-in for a group of websites with different domains. Having followed the less-than-adequate instructions provided with the extension and having tried various combinations of settings as described therein, it quickly became clear that this extension is not what it claims to be.
The documentation advises that it is necessary to share the jos_user and jos_sessions database fields in the respective databases and also the same 'secret' word in the configuration.php file. It explains that the table prefixes must be the same and having carefully done exactly as instructed, nothing happens. Even Firebug showed nothing to suggest what was wrong - which leads me to believe that the extension actually does nothing useful.
I am not quite a Joomla novice so I understand that the jos_core_acl_aro and jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map tables are also essential when manipulating user data - something not mentioned in the documentation and a very serious oversight which means that it is not possible to make this extension work by following the instructions.
I asked for support and was advised that my very detailed query was 'ambiguous' and thatI should consult the forum or register for paid support.
Being unable to find anything relating directly to my problem in the forum I once more asked for some advice by submitting full details of the procedures and settings I used when using the extension with a request for suggestions as to what might be the problem, especially if I had overlooked something - I am not inclined to blame an extension for my own shortcomings so this seemed a reasonable request in view of having paid £20+ to the developer already.
The dismissive response was to the effect that if I wanted the extension installed for me I must order paid support.
That is not what I wanted - what I wanted was to get the extension working, know how I did it, then write a glowing review here.
I have tried to use it with separate TLDs, subdomains and even different servers - it doesn't work and I am beginning to suspect that this is little more than a device to sell paid support and/or other extensions from which it appears this utility was extracted.
Reading the 'small print' the developer also claims that the payment is NOT for the extension - that is free - but for the facility to download it. Does this mean that Belgium is outside the scope of EU regulations for fair trade? I think not!
I am not impressed with the extension or the developer and would advise extreme caution when considering this particular plugin. It is not what it claims to be!
First, the objective of this extension is to allow remaining logged between website that have different domain. The objective is to share the apache session ID between the website.
This customer try sharing the apache session between websites on the same domain like mydomain.com/site1 mydomain.com/site2.
In this case, apache (or IIS) already share the session ID and that this extension is not required.
Second, we told to the customers that he probably didn't share correctly the MySQL tables of his websites because the session information present in the DB is probably not shared.
Finally, any support that would request to access the environment of the customer to help him configure or setup his environment is available via the billable support.
The installation, setup of the customer environment is not included in the price to download the extension.
We also remember that this extension is delivered in application of GNU/GPL
My application for a Greeting Card & Gift Shop required a list of public holidays or events throughout the year together with some brief information and the ability to link to more information if required.
This extension does the job easily and elegantly. There is some work involved entering the information and replacing the stock images with your own but it is well worth the effort and for the pittance they charge for it, I rate this as possibly the best extension for the job.
Support? Because it is a Flash extension, I was unable to change the colour to match the template so I meekly inquired with the vendor about having this done. Considering it was Sunday the response was astoundingly fast and I had a reply together with an attached file to my specification by the time I had taken the dog for a walk.
They didn't charge me (although I offered) and best of all, it installed over the existing one without losing any of the settings or data.
On the basis of my experience in the last 24 hours there is no hesitation giving BJ Calendar with Tooltips full marks - it does exactly what it claims - beautifully. Thank you!
I wanted a fairly comprehensive contact form that looks good and will render well with mobile devices. This one includes a Google map, a business card and an email form so I had doubts but decided to try it regardless.
It installed perfectly and the few user setting required were easily completed. As with most extensions I had to do some 'code tweaking' to make it show the address in UK format and I tidied up the appearance to suit my needs - such is the beauty of open source.
I had a couple of questions for Support and I got helpful and honest answers back very quickly the same day. They even advised me that it was not designed to work with mobile websites but I believe there is no reason why it shouldn't with some judicious tweaking.
From this point of view I have to score this extension top stars for quality and support.
There are a couple of things that would be useful and having mentioned them to the vendor I believe they could be in the next upgrade version. One is to permit the user to enter map co-ordinates rather than trust Google to set the location based on address - not often accurately. The other is to permit the user to set the zoom factor for the map although this is easily done by changing a number in the php code.
Apart from that, the 'Miscellaneous Description' field sets the width of the whole contact screen so if you leave it blank, or use only a few words, the form will not span the screen width. The fluid page width has great merit but there should be a means to override it because if you use a smaller screen width, the Info Bubble on the Google map will be wider than the map which looks very untidy.
These are just minor niggles and for anyone with a little php or html experience, it is totally configurable - which is perfect for my application.
It also has huge potential and has been nicely thought-out so for that reason I recommend it and declare it well worth the $5 it costs to download.

The Sears debacle…resolved
Posted on 13. Jan, 2010 by Sandra in Misc.
Today I arrived at Sears Kamloops and explained my plight to a woman named Sherry (who was very nice). She gamely phoned the number I gave her and spoke to Eddie. Eddie then quizzed me as to my birthday, address and phone number. When he was satisfied that I was the person who could pay my account (I'm wondering why they wouldn't just let anybody pay it, if they were confused enough to do so!) he told me that Sherry could take my payment.
And we said goodbye.
Then Sherry and I looked at each other and asked at the same time, "How much do I (you) pay?" Arrghhh. Apparently she still couldn't tell me how much was owing; Eddie was supposed to tell me. After a fit of giggles, Sherry's supervisor showed up and suggested she simply call head office and ask for my balance (she said not to say anything about my saga).
After much time on hold with me resigned to being a resident of the Sears store, Sherry straightened up and motioned to me. Then she gave me the total, which I wrote down. Then paid.
I was a bit incredulous that this is what it might have taken all along but after telling Chris my story, he suggested that perhaps while Sherry was on hold, Eddie was "unlocking" my account so that Sears could access it. This made a lot of sense as I was told that only the collection agency could access it.
So thanks to Lauren, Eddie and Sherry my life in debt is over (I hope). I've made a note to check Equifax in a few months to make sure my credit rating is spanky again.

For clerical administrative support staff positions, clerical testing must be completed as part of our clerical job description requirements. It is part of the application process for clerical positions, and must be completed prior to being considered for an interview. These tests are computerized, and each test has a specific amount of time for completion. The test scores are valid for two years so the tests cannot be taken again during that time frame. However, the Keyboarding test is the only test that can be taken again during the two year time frame. There are seven tests to complete during the session, and it takes approximately 2 ½ hours to complete the tests:
• Basic Excel 2007
• Basic Word 2007
• Keyboarding
• Alpha filing
• Numeric filing
• Proofreading
• Bank Reconciliation

How to pick the perfect window
When you're searching, consider cost, how energy efficiency is measured and how materials differ.
What kind of window is best for you? Here's what you should know if you're judging on cost, energy efficiency or material.
It's about cost
Below are the national average costs for installing 10 double-hung windows measuring 3 feet by 5 feet, including installation, according to Remodeling magazine's 2009-10 "Cost vs. Value Report." All windows are double-paned with inert gas between the layers. (Bing: What is a double-pane window?)
More from Kiplinger.com
- 10 quick, energy-efficient fixes for your home
- Quiz: How smart a homeowner are you?
- 8 DIY projects that add value to your home
Here are the types of windows:
- Midrange vinyl: Vinyl frame
- Midrange wood: Wood frame with an exterior clad in vinyl or aluminum
- Upscale vinyl: Simulated mullions and wood-grain interior, custom-color exterior and low-emittance, or low-E, coated glass.
- Upscale wood: Simulated mullions; hardwood interior; custom-color, aluminum-clad exterior; and low-E glass.
Read: What you should know before you replace your windows
Here is what they will run you. The cost is the total job cost, including materials and installation. The resale value reflects how much of the job cost homeowners can recoup if they sold their home.
- Midrange vinyl: $10,728 (cost), $8,217 (resale)
- Midrange wood: $11,700 (cost), $9,044 (resale)
- Upscale vinyl: $13,862 (cost), $10,601 (resale)
- Upscale wood: $17,816 (cost), $12,738 (resale)
It's about energy efficiency
To compare the energy efficiency of all window types, regardless of differing components, you must know two critical ratios.
- U-factor: The lower the number, the better the window insulates, and the more energy savings it will produce in climates where heating dominates home-energy bills. U-factors usually range from 0.25 to 1.25.
- Solar heat-gain coefficient. The lower the SHGC, typically 0.25 to 0.8, the better the window blocks heat from sunlight and the more savings in climates where cooling dominates.
Energy Star-qualified windows have a label indicating to which of four U.S. climate zones —northern, north central, south central or southern — a window is best-suited, based on its U-factor and SHGC, which the label also shows.
Article continues below
It's about materials
Costs are for a 3-by-5-foot, double-hung unit, excluding installation.
- Vinyl ($200 to $800): Pros: Maintenance-free, these windows provide good insulation, especially when air cavities in the frame are filled, and are moisture-resistant. Higher-quality vinyl windows are more stable — they swell and shrink less with temperature extremes — and resist yellowing, cracking and warping. Cons: Colors and textures may be limited. Look for paintable or stainable surface treatments and hybrids with interior, wood-veneer finishes.
- Composite ($600 to $1,000): Pros: This type of window frame is made of wood and polymer, which resembles wood in terms of strength and insulating value but resists moisture and decay better. It may be textured, stained or painted. Cons: None.
Read: 5 questions to ask your window installer
- Fiberglass ($750 to $1,200): Pros: Strong, durable and dimensionally stable, it may be painted or made to simulate wood. When air cavities are filled, the insulating value is similar to wood and insulated vinyl. Cons: There are few manufacturers.
- Wood and clad wood ($800 to $1,500): Pros: These windows are dimensionally stable, naturally insulating and aesthetically appealing. Cons: They are susceptible to moisture and insect damage. Look for treatments designed to increase durability and reduce maintenance, including exterior metal or vinyl cladding.

Jade Bulecza - bio | email VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - Valdosta police are looking for the robbers who held up a pizza delivery driver.
Stacey Cochran knocked on the door of a Mary Street home close to midnight Tuesday.
When no one answered, she called the number from which the pizza was ordered and was told to come to the side of the house.
One man was there and another came outside with a gun. They took her keys, cell phone, money, and two pizzas.
"They told her to leave the area," said Captain Bobbi McGraw, Valdosta Police. "They did not harm her and they told her to start walking. She walked away from the area and happened to see another pizza delivery driver nearby. She was able to get their attention and was given a ride back to her store where they called police."
Police are searching for two black men in their 20s, both around five feet seven inches tall with a slender build.
One had dreadlocks. The other short hair. If you have information, call the Valdosta Crime Tip line at 293-3091.

First aired: 16 May 2006
| Written By
Ian Biederman
Directed By
Norberto Barba
After a bipolar teen crashes her car in a suicide attempt, a rock star campaigns for her right to refuse medication.
Plot Edit
After teenager Jamie Hoskins accuses two of her classmates of rape, it is later proved that it was consensual. After the truth is found out, Jamie attempts suicide as she mows down 9 pedestrians with her car. The detectives discover that Jamie is bipolar and off her medication.
Jamie is charged with murder and then later released on her own recognizance after she agrees to stay on her medication. Soon after, rock star Derek Lord (who is known for his negative views on psychology) becomes involved in Jamie's case and Jamie stops taking her meds.
As Jamie insists on listening to Derek Lord's advice not to take medication or take a deal, Novak has no choice but to take her case to trial. During the trial, Jamie stops taking her medication and is forced back on them. When Benson visits her, she is upset but somewhat more open to reason, finally accepting that her parents are the ones that care about her rather than Derek and she reveals what caused him to be sympathetic to her and her to believe in him: he was committed to a psychiatric institution as a child and had electro-convulsive therapy which destroyed a chunk his memories.
Novak brings this up at trial along with the fact that it seemed to have helped him as he stopped trying to kill himself and is now a very successful man. Jamie is found guilty of vehicular manslaughter, but Novak promises to ask to have her sentenced as a juvenile which would result in her being committed to a residential psychiatric facility.
Novak later reveals the source of her strong convictions during the case to Benson: she was once engaged to a man who was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia and she couldn't handle it, broke off the engagement and last she heard he was homeless, leaving her with guilt that she didn't help him.

5 Holiday Cocktails That Use Booze You Already Have
Holiday Guest Post from Chris Gardner of Curbly
Every holiday season we ask a few friends to join us here at The Kitchn for a series of guest posts. The topics range from favorite holiday recipes to family memories and traditions. Today's guest: My friend Chris Gardner, fellow denizen of the Midwest, and managing editor of the rad DIY site Curbly. He also writes a blog called ManMade DIY, and he's sharing some great cocktail recipes from there today. Enjoy!
I love discovering new cocktail recipes and original ways to experience different, unique flavors with classic spirits. But, these days, discovering "new cocktails" on the internet usually means "new fandangled drinks that use a bunch of specialty liqueurs and spirits you don't have and aren't gonna buy a whole bottle of to try a new drink."
So, with that in mind, I decided to come up with five tasty, holiday-ish cocktails using stuff you can find in an average liquor cabinet.
Of course, that varies from home to home, but these stick to spirits you've heard of, I promise. Plus, each features a bit of festive pomegranate flavor courtesy of our homemade grenadine recipe.
• Get Chris's homemade grenadine recipe: How To Make Homemade Grenadine at ManMade DIY
These'll work for Christmas, New Year's Eve, and, frankly speaking, Tuesday afternoons if you're feeling festive. These are all tested and approved recipes from the ManMade kitchens and friends...that was a fun day at the office.
Shall we?
Arsenic Sauce
For consumption with a three-decker toadstool sandwich.
1 1/2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
1/2 oz. homemade grenadine
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
3 dashes angostura bitters
Soda water
Garnish: Lemon twist, wedge, or pomegranate arils
Combine the first five ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake until cold. Strain into an iced highball glass, and top with soda water. Add garnish. Best consumed through a thirty-nine and a half foot straw.
Sparkling Pomegrita
2 oz. silver tequila
1 oz. Cointreau or Gran Marnier
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. homemade grenadine
Sparkling white wine - try a cava from Spain
Combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and grenadine in a shaker with ice, and shake vigorously. Strain into two iced and salted martini glasses, and top with 2 oz. sparkling wine.
Salty Old Saint Nicholas
Lean your glass this way, you dear old man!
1 1/2 oz. vodka or gin
3/4 oz. lemon juice
3/4 oz. homemade grenadine
3 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
5 dashes angostura or orange bitters
Shake the ingredients and strain into a highball glass filled with ice, and whisper what you'll bring to me.
You'll Shoot Your Rye Out
It's like a Manhattan, but there are BB guns involved.
2 oz. rye whiskey or blended bourbon
1/2 oz. sweet vermouth
1/2 oz. homemade grenadine
Pour the ingredients over ice, and stir 50 times. Yes, since there are non-spirits, tradition says to shake it, but the grenadine is heavy enough to make this work, and the texture is amazing. Garnish with a fake icicle that you worked up to explain your broken glasses.
Lasso the Moon
A bit of prep, but worth every second. Consume while wearing bathrobes and singing "Buffalo Girls." Swallow two of these, and the moon will definitely all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair.
Prepare the festive salt by mixing 3 parts coarse salt to 1 part brown sugar, 1 part sweet paprika, and 1 part ground ancho chile powder. (Don't worry, it's not spicy) Make as much as you want: you'll want to keep this stuff around.
2 oz. tequila - blanco or añejo
1 oz. Cointreau
1 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. homemade grenadine
Shake the ingredients with ice, then pour into a glass rimmed with lime juice and festive salt.

Oh come on - every single one of these uses home-made grenadine? I don't know about you, but I don't normally have pomegranate juice in my house. I think I have maybe bought it once? So...to make these "make with what you have at hand" cocktails I have to go out and buy something rare and that I would normally never have at home? I like the idea of home-made grenadine, but the title of this article is totally misleading.
These look **amazing**! And while I don't (yet!) have homemade grenadine, I think I may make some so that I can try the Arsenic Sauce and the Salty Old St. Nicholas.
As for the complaints that these don't include "ingredients you have on hand", if you read the article it's clear that he is making cocktails that don't rely on buying $100 worth of speciality liqueur. There's a clear difference in buying a $3 container of grapefruit juice or making homemade grenadine with a $5 bottle of POM juice and a $40 bottle of Domaine de Canton or $45 bottle of absinthe. And I would say that an average liquor cabinet -- especially of the sort of person who likes to try new cocktails -- would have both bitters and vermouth.
Yes, I agree that vermouth and bitters are pretty basic cocktail cabinet items, and he does state that he's assuming you have a basic cocktail set up. But to me it doesn't matter if I have to go buy a bottle of elderflower liquor, or a bottle of pomegranate juice. Both require some kind of special trip to get one item I would never otherwise use and might not like. Neither are "at hand." The only difference is cost.
This post is interesting, but would be much better titled "5 simple and inexpensive cocktails you can make with the purchase of only one special ingredient."
I love this. Vermouth, triple sec, bitters, grenadine, POM, and grapefruit juice are cheap and readily available. And useful in so many cocktail recipes. Unlike many specialty liquors which are hard to come by, expensive, and often too specifically applied.
When I go to make cocktails and I have very little in the house I like to make a strong pot of herbal tea and chill it for a little while with ice. I mix it up with fresh lime juice, or a little cane sugar. Mint tea and Whiskey are especially nice, but I've never had a miss!
Well, since all I've got "on hand" is Kool-aid... I guess it's Drunk Bucket time yet again.
I totally just tried the You'll Shoot Your Rye Out, and it's fantastic. Sweet, but it keeps the earthy, strong flavors of the rye whiskey.
Going to try the Arsenic Sauce later, and I'm absolutely sure it's just as good. Great recipes!
Reporting back: Arsenic Sauce is FANTASTIC. Seriously people, try that one. It's like a grown-up soda, and deadly too (you don't get a lot of the alcohol on the palate, but you get all of the flavors.) Again, great recipes!

I am strongly interested in male rhinoplasty. I've wanted to do it for 20 years. Will do it this summer, 2014.

I personally think it's socially acceptable for men to get rhinoplasty. Look at these guys:
But if you're not into being up front about it, which is fine and totally your choice of course, you might want to say that you have a deviated septum (and it may turn out to be true) that you need work on. Have you had any consultations yet? You may find out some things that are functionally wrong with your nose when you do, and you can use that as your excuse. :)

"To be honest, in the beginning it wasn't real love, but it grew into something much more profound. The vision I had at the time was to raise the status of denim because it was more workwear and uniform than it was a serious material. Now it is integrated into fashion, you see a silk dress on the runway and the next piece is a denim coat. Today it isn't just casual, but integrated at a much higher level."

J.C. Penney's new leader has a vision for tomorrow's shopping experience. But the retailer is still stuck with yesterday's stores.
Ron Johnson, who oversaw Apple's retail strategy before starting at Penney this fall, said last week that his first steps as CEO would be to get rid of the nonstop promotions at the store and move to three kinds of prices (everyday, monthly specials and clearance). He announced a new designer partnership with Nanette Lepore, and a new spokeswoman and advertising star, Ellen DeGeneres. He also introduced a logo, and new color-saturated advertisements that barely mention price.
Within four years, he said, the stores would be completely redone, each divided into about 100 small boutiques with a service center that he called town square at the center. "We haven't given the customer enough reasons to love us," he said.
But Johnson is not creating a retailer from scratch. J.C. Penney has more than 1,100 stores, many in mall locations that have lost other tenants. That includes nine in Utah, where it also has an accounting center and a distribution center that collectively employ 1,500 people. More than 60 percent of its stores were built in or before the 1980s, according to Barclays Capital, and the company's overall sales have been weak. Johnson added that he was not closing any stores, for now. "When we haven't gotten the whole concept right yet, it doesn't make sense," he said.
Denise Lee Yohn, a branding consultant, said that she was impressed with some of his ideas, but that Penney's physical presence was a limiting factor. "I don't think the opportunity to do something dramatically different is possible, given their real estate and the realities of retail," she said.
Investors last week had a different view, although there still is reason for caution. J.C. Penney shares soared nearly 19 percent Thursday when the department store chain delivered a 2012 profit outlook that was well above analysts' projections, a day after debuting its pricing plan. Shares rose $6.44, to close at $40.72.
Conversely, in November sales at stores open at least a year fell 2 percent, and in December, same-store sales rose just 0.3 percent, both well below industry averages because of poor holiday sales. From 2006 to 2011, "J.C. Penney has had the worst performance among peers," Barclays Capital analyst Robert Drbul wrote in a note to clients.
While many shoppers go to Walmart for price, Target for cheap style, high-end stores for luxury treats and the Web for ease, stores such as J.C. Penney have faded into the background.
At the presentation last week, Johnson outlined some of Penney's troubles and his proposals to fix them.
Though retailers use promotional pricing to attract shoppers, even if they often vow to move away from it when it gets too pronounced, Johnson said the method used what he called fake prices — artificially inflated prices that are on near-constant markdowns.
But consumers, he said, were not fooled. From 2002 to 2011, the average cost that Penney paid for an item stayed about the same, from $9 to $10. During that period, though, Penney increased the average price tag to $36 from about $27. Yet even as the price tag rose, customers ended up paying less because of coupons or sales. "Now most things are on 60 percent markdown, and every time we do that, we're discounting Penney's brand," he said.
Johnson said that 72 percent of Penney's revenue came from products sold at a discount of 50 percent or more. The company is repricing all its items so that sale prices become everyday prices. The company will use sales data from last year to set prices at least 40 percent or less than the previous year's prices. So, a woman's St. John's Bay blouse regularly priced at $14.99 could have the "Every Day" price of $7.
Also, he said, customers had to deal with a confusing number of emails, fliers and ads. Last year, Penney ran 590 promotions, he said, but the average customer visited only four times.
He will move to monthlong promotions, on which Penney will spend $80 million a month, which is a decrease from Penney's current marketing tab. And instead of mailed fliers, the company will send shoppers a 96-page catalog each month with a more magazine-like presentation.
Johnson, who spent more than a decade at Apple, stressed the similarities between that company 10 years ago and J.C. Penney today. But those who were expecting Apple-esque technological prowess from Johnson's presentation did not get it. "You have to stay tuned. I've been here 90 days — dazzling technology takes time," he said.

Searching for companies that may or may not pay dividend is a lot of work. Why can't we all buy into Federal Reserve (since we are fractional owners anyway) and let them print money to pay us dividends. Seems like a simple but elegant solution!!
How does Stonemore (STON) not make your list. Plus 5% yield is tax deferred.
The current quote page on yahoo shows: EPS of $1.06 and a DIV of $2.26……as the article states, they only consider companies that have an EPS to DIV ratio > 2.0……calculating from the current quote would give STON a ration of 0.469…….not a sustainable dividend.
I believe STON does not make the list since it doesn't meet the criteria set out by the author:
Quote: "So for example if a company pays out $1.00 in dividends, it has to make at least $2.00 in earnings per share. "
STON makes $1.06 in EPS but pays out $2.26 in dividends. Does that sound about right?

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
On April 24, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to 10 manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements containing dimethylamylamine (DMAA). DMAA is commonly found in sports and weight-loss supplements.
Laguna Beach, CA—Richard A. Passwater, Ph.D., scientific editor/author of WholeFoods' Vitamin Connection column and well-known nutrition researcher, and fish oil authority Jorn Dyerberg, M.D., DMSc., have co-authored a new book about omega-3s that is due out this summer.
Pittsburgh, PA—First-quarter sales for GNC Holdings Inc. better than expected. Revenues were $624.3 million, which was 23% higher than they were last year at this time.
Washington, D.C.—A recent study commissioned by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) found that dietary supplement use for adults ages 18 and over is on the rise. Compared to 66% of adults in the U.S. in 2010, supplement usage is now at 69%.
The 2012 Natural Products Expo West tradeshow was the largest in its 30-year history. Some 60,000 industry members attended the event, which ran March 8–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Show organizers said attendance of retail buyers grew 13% this year, which made for a good show, say many exhibitors.
Bethesda, MD—National Institutes of Health researchers have identified how resveratrol may confer its health benefits. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring chemical found in plants like grapes. The researchers found that resveratrol does not directly activate sirtuin 1, a protein associated with aging. Instead, it inhibits phosphodiesterases (PDEs), proteins that help regulate cell energy. The chemical has gained some interest from pharmaceutical companies for its potential to fight diabetes, inflammation and cancer.
The A.C. Grace Company, located in Big Sandy, TX, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. A.C. Grace got its start under unfortunate circumstances; founder Roy Erickson suffered three heart attacks in 1962, and was told by doctors after the third just to go home and wait for the next one. As a young man in his 50s, Erickson thought this advice was unacceptable, so, let down by his doctors, he set out to discover a heart healthy aid on his own.
Stockholm, Sweden—Approximately 5.4 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. A recent study conducted by the Aging Research Center at the Karolinska Institute links low plasma levels of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols (full spectrum vitamin E) to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment in older individuals.
Denver, CO—Impressive data were published in Carcinogenesis showing grape seed extract killed cancer cells in mice and left healthy ones alone.
Silver Spring, MD—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is cracking down on companies selling over-the-counter (OTC) HCG as weight-loss aids by making the product illegal, citing that fads and diets promising fast weight-loss often do so with unsupported claims and potentially unhealthy ways.

Yash Raj Films' (YRF) much-awaited "Dhoom 3" will be the first Bollywood film to be released in IMAX theatres, after being digitally re-
mastered in the IMAX format, it was announced here Friday.
The third instalment of the popular action-adventure "Dhoom" franchise will release in IMAX theatres, known for high-end digital projection and sound systems, across India and select global locations, in 2013.
"IMAX has always symbolised high quality film entertainment and experience and this vision of the company works very well with the ethos of YRF, which has been synonymous with Indian film entertainment over the last four decade," YRF head honcho Yash Chopra said in a statement.
"We are indeed happy to announce our association with IMAX for the additional release of 'Dhoom 3' in this exciting format next year. Added to the anticipated thrill that the film promises, this experience will give it an all new edge of the seat dimension altogether," he added.

When Cacti Are Too Prickly
I'm a clock watcher. I'm a tachometer hound. I'm a speedometer freak. And, as cool as that might seem, more than anything, I love graphs. One of the problems with setting up good SNMP graphs is that not only do they require a server on which to run, but also those servers often are difficult to configure. Programs like Cacti offer incredible features, but for home use, they're usually not worth the effort to configure.
That's where odmon.com comes in. Odmon offers a free service that queries your SNMP devices and hosts Cacti graphs for your local devices. Setup couldn't be easier, and odmon even offers "wizards" to help configure your home router. Part of the process is opening your firewall to its servers, but because you need to provide only read access, and you can limit access to its specific IP address, the security is tolerable—at least for me on my home system.
To set up your free odmon account, go to www.odmon.com. You can be a bandwidth watcher like me in no time!
Odmon offers a wide variety of graphs and the ability to publish them publicly or privately.
I have tried it and it seems really useful for my small net. Interesting!
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In his latest attempt to impose discipline on his famously disorderly Republican caucus, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) chose the soft power of public mockery over the more militant promise of private retribution. Speaking at an event in his home state, Boehner lashed out at fellow Republicans who have stymied immigration reform. "Here's the attitude," Boehner said of his recalcitrant colleagues. 'Oooh, don't make me do this. Oooh, this is too hard.' "
He spoke not in his usual solemn tones but with a high, child-like pitch, suggesting that his tormentors were in need of adult supervision.
Back to Baker
Boehner is hardly the first legislative leader to reach that conclusion. Howard Baker, the Tennessee Republican who served as Senate majority leader in the early 1980s, famously said that rounding up votes was like "herding kittens." But during Boehner's three-plus years as speaker, he has been notably unable to prod his colleagues in a productive direction. Earlier this year, Boehner was forced to withdraw his own debt-ceiling bill after realizing that, despite being speaker of the House of Representatives and commander in chief of his fellow House Republicans, he didn't have enough GOP votes.
That's like a general calling off an offensive at the last minute for lack of troops. What, can't anybody count?
Actually, it's not just a matter of addition and subtraction. Boehner's plight is the result of forces in U.S. politics that have made the plums of another age — choice committee assignments, extra staff members, bridge repairs in the home district, even, yes, special parking spaces — less important than face time on television or a timely contribution from the neo-bosses of the 21st century, like the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

Flow meters are advanced measuring instruments which are used to measure linear, non-linear, mass or volumetric flow of gases or liquids. It has its applications in various industries such as power and energy, marine, mining, water management, food and processing, building services, aerospace, agriculture, petrochemicals, pharmaceutical and more. Unlike the traditional gas or liquid measuring instrument such as the dip stick, handheld flow meter is accurate and highly reliable. This instrument will enable you to obtain all the necessary information you may need to measure exact oil receipts and to control oil consumption in boilers and generators. Oil measuring instruments are very useful wherever oil is received, stored and used as they are helpful in measuring, totalizing and recording oil flows precisely. The Oil Flow Meter can be easily installed in the pipeline to totalizing the flow of oil flowing through the pipeline.
How to Select an Oil Flow Meter?
The most important criteria you should consider while purchasing a handheld instrument is, your requirement of a particular application. Keep in the overall installation and nature of the fluid process. To make your decision easier, answer the following questions
- What is it you want to measure?
- What is the viscosity of the liquid?
- How clean is the fluid?
- What is the size of the pipe?
- Are you looking for rate measurement or totalisation or both?
- What kind of reading output you want? Electronic signal or local display?
- What is the chemical compatibility of the fluid with the instruments whetted parts?
- What is the maximum oil flow rate in the pipeline, the pipeline size and pressure available at the Oil flow instrument point?
Types of Flow Meters:
There are several types of liquid and gas measuring instruments designed for use in variety of industries. While some of the Handheld flow instrument is used both in liquid and gases, others are exclusively designed to measure one specific type of matter. The most widely used type of liquid and gas measuring instruments are:
- Variable area flow_meter, also known as 'Rota-meter'
- Spring and piston meters
- Mass gas flowmeters
- Ultrasonic
- Magnetic
- Turbine
- Paddle wheel sensors
- Positive displacement flow-meters
- Differential pressure sensor
- Vortex flow_meters
- Anemometers for air flow measurement
How to Buy?
While purchasing a handheld flow instrument, make sure that the instrument has all the important features that you require. Some of the most important features to look for when purchasing an instrument are accuracy, reliability, low pressure drop and positive displacement. Online stores provide crisp and clear descriptions such as type, features, price, size, specifications, etc. This information can be quite helpful in your buying decision. You can also consider buying pulse generator along with the Oil Flow Meter to convert the output into a pulse signal for remote instrumentation and control.

MOVIE REVIEW - Dabangg 2: A sequel that doesn't take it forward
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author, and not necessarily of Thomson Reuters)
By Shilpa Jamkhandikar
It seems unfair to devote a whole review to Arbaaz Khan's "Dabangg 2", given that this is hardly a film. As a friend said, it's a collection of deleted scenes from "Dabangg" that have been put together haphazardly to make the skeleton of a film.
Just as Salman Khan makes no pretence about acting, brother Arbaaz Khan makes no pretence about directing. "Dabangg 2" is an endless sequence of comedy-song-fight-romance. I can almost imagine the director mentally counting the time elapsed between a fight sequence and a song. A half-hour into the film, I could tell which was next, irrespective of whether it made sense.
This then, is a montage of Salman Khan being himself, dancing, romancing, cracking lewd jokes and of course, beating up the bad guys with some pretty outlandish stunts. Everything else is incidental and of no importance.
Arbaaz Khan cobbles up just enough of a story to be able to allow his brother to do all that will get the crowds in the stalls hooting and whistling, and no more. Salman Khan's character in the original film, Chulbul Pandey, is transferred to Kanpur, where he comes face to face with Baccha Bhaiyya (Prakash Raj), a local politician who runs a fiefdom in the city.
Of course, Pandey is determined to finish off the bad guys, and kills his people publicly, during wedding celebrations, and on street corners, without anyone batting an eyelid.
He romances his wife Rajjo (Sonakshi Sinha), helps his younger brother get his life on track and finds the time to prank call his father (Vinod Khanna), and crack lewd jokes with him.
On the face of it, this is another one of those films that requires you to suspend all belief and watch it for Salman Khan. On another level, this is a film that angered me no end. Khan glorifies so many things that are wrong with our society, and he does it brazenly enough.
After he rescues a child from kidnappers, Chulbul Pandey thinks nothing of asking the parents to "donate" the ransom money to him, as a thank you for rescuing their child. Later, he tells his father lackadaisically, "I put it in the Chulbul Pandey fund."
"Dabangg 2" also objectifies women in the worst way possible. Watch the Kareena Kapoor song "Fevicol" and you will know what I mean. She gyrates, sighs, pouts, refers to herself as a tandoor, while men are gaping at her in the lewdest fashion.
When Bollywood, which forms so many of our cultural perceptions and opinions, portrays women as helpless damsels who need to be rescued or objects of desire who are meant to be conquered, is it any wonder that we live in the world we live in?

"Winning the state championship last year was huge for them. Then we went back to the state tournament this year and you know how it is when you're the defending state champion. Everybody is coming for you," Bridgeport 10 and 11-year-old All-Stars Head Coach Wayne Goodwin said.
Not many little league teams can relate to the 10 and 11-year-old Bridgeport All-Stars. Winning has been a staple with these youngsters, and the journey was elevated with one simple swing of the bat last weekend.
"I was really excited to get the hit," Bridgeport 12-year-old catcher Benjamin Mossburg said. "When I walked up, I thought I was going to send the people home crying in either two ways, happy or sad. So it was really good to get that hit and beat Martinsburg."
"I was the game-tying run. So running home and the guy running behind me was right behind me and when he slid home we all just started crying and jumping and running. We were just hugging each other," Bridgeport 12-year-old pitcher A.J. Goodwin said.
Benjamin Mossburg's game winning hit lifted Bridgeport over Martinsburg for the state championship. But now they head out to Regionals in North Carolina, where there's a lot more on the line.
"These kids will be ready for it. Like I said, they experienced it last year, they've won two state tournaments now. They've got a lot of experience, we've got a lot of good pitching, we play a lot of good defense and we hit enough," Wayne Goodwin said.
Waiting in the wings, the Florida state champion on Saturday at 10 a.m.
"We've played them once before and it was last year. So we have some experience and we know what it's going to be like. So we're just going down there for a good game and hopefully we'll get out with the 'W'," Bridgeport 11-year-old first baseman Gabe Zummo said.
Southeast Regional Bracket (10 & 11-Year-Olds):
West Virginia (Bridgeport) vs. Florida - 10 a.m. on Saturday
West Virginia (Bridgeport) vs. Alabama - 12:45 p.m. on Sunday
West Virginia (Bridgeport) vs. Georgia - 8 p.m. on Monday
***The top two teams play in the Semifinals on Tuesday

Remember that the SDK installer has a bug where it sometimes claims to be unable to find an installed JDK. If you run into that, click the back button and then click the next button and things should work again. It is also assumed that you've gone through the hello world tutorial and have successfully deployed an application to the Android emulator. Finally, it is assumed that you have already set up a PostgreSQL database that you would like to connect to and have some basic experience with SQL. The Step 1 instructions for setting up PosgreSQL for use with Typica can walk you through that on Windows if you are unfamiliar with this. Getting set up on Linux or Mac OS X is similarly simple. You can also find some introductory material on using databases in the PostgreSQL documentation.
Project Setup: Open Eclipse and from the File menu, select New→Android Project. From here, you'll need to fill in several fields. I'll be using the following:
Project name: HelloPostgreSQL
Application name: Hello, PostgreSQL
Package name: com.example.hellopostgresql
✓ Create Activity: HelloPostgreSQLActivity
Min SDK Version: 13
I also have Android 3.2 checked in the Build Target panel. Once all of that is entered, click Finish. Your new project should now be listed in the package explorer. Note that this probably works with much older Android and SDK versions, but I have not done any testing to determine just how far back this works.
Obtaining Permission: Chances are you won't be running PostgreSQL on the android device itself. Instead, you'll be connecting to the database running on another computer on the network. As a result, you'll need to ask for permission to access the Internet. On Android, this is done through the manifest file. Expand your project in the package explorer and double click AndroidManifest.xml. At the bottom of the view that opens, you'll see several tabs. One of these is labeled AndroidManifest.xml. Click that to edit the file directly. You'll need to add a <uses-permission> tag. I like to place this in between the <uses-sdk> tag and the <application> tag. Specifically, you want to add the following:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
You can now save and close that file.
Packaging the JDBC Driver: PostgreSQL support is not built into Android, but since programs are written in Java, we can just bring in a .jar file that provides this support. I'm using the JDBC 4 PostgreSQL Driver. Download that and save the file someplace that is convenient for you.
In Eclipse, right click your project in the package explorer and select Properties from the menu. Next, select Java Build Path from the panel on the left. Next click the Add External JARs… button to the right, select the JDBC driver you downloaded, click Open, and then click OK. In the package explorer, you should now see a new section called Referenced Libraries which contains the file you just selected.
The Code: Now that the preparations are complete, we can move on to writing some code. In the package explorer, expand src/com.example.hellopostgresql and double click HelloPostgreSQLActivity.java to open the source file that was stubbed out when the project was created. We'll be replacing most of that, so just go ahead and delete the contents and instead type in the following:
package com.example.helllopostgresql;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class HelloPostgreSQLActivity extends Activity {
TextView resultArea;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
resultArea = new TextView(this);
resultArea.setText("Please wait.");
new FetchSQL().execute();
private class FetchSQL extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,String> {
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String retval = "";
try {
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
retval = e.toString();
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://10.0.2.2/dbname?user=username&password=pass";
Connection conn;
try {
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql;
sql = "SELECT 1";
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()) {
retval = rs.getString(1);
} catch (SQLException e) {
retval = e.toString();
return retval;
protected void onPostExecute(String value) {
Don't hit run yet because you'll want to customize that a little bit. First, the connection string defined above on the line:
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://10.0.2.2/dbname?user=username&password=pass";
is probably not what you want. There are three parts that you might need to change. First, the 10.0.2.2 IP address is what the Android emulator sees as the computer you're running the emulator on. If that's where you have the database running, that's fine, but if you have the database running on another computer, you'll want to connect to that instead. Next, dbname should be replaced with the name of the database you want to connect to. If you haven't created one, there's probably a database named postgres that you can use. Similarly, if your database user name isn't username, you'll need to replace that with a real user name. If you haven't created one, chances are one named postgres already exists. Finally, unless your password is pass, you'll need to put in a real password there.
Now, from the Run menu, select Run, then select Android Application, then click OK. The Android emulator will start and after a while (you may need to unlock the screen) your program will start. You should see your TextView, first with the text "Please wait" and then the number 1. If you have, then congratulations, you've connected to a PostgreSQL database, run a query, and displayed the result. If instead you have an error message that the connection attempt failed, double check that your emulator thinks it has Internet access, that you're asking for permission properly in the manifest, and that the access credentials you're using work from psql. If something else isn't working, double check for typos.
What is Going on Here? First, we have a public class that represents our application. The HelloPostgreSQLActivity class is loaded when we start the program and the onCreate() callback method is run. You can read all the details of that in the reference documentation. Here we're creating the TextView that has been defined previously as a member of the class where we will store our results, setting a value just so something is displayed while waiting for database access, and displaying that view. Next, we create a new instance of FetchSQL, a private class that we'll define soon, and call the execute() method on the newly created object.
FetchSQL builds on AsyncTask. When the execute() method (which we don't have to write) is called, a new thread of execution is created and that thread runs the code in the doInBackground() method. This keeps database operations (and the network operations that go along with that) out of the main thread that runs the user interface. While that might not matter for something trivial like this (aside from that if you try to run it in the main thread your program will get an exception and die), it's generally a good idea to use separate threads for things that might take a while. This lets the user interface stay responsive while waiting for other things to finish.
In this method, we first make sure that our JDBC driver is loaded. This is done in the line:
Next, we try to establish a connection to the database with:
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
After that, we execute a query and process the result, placing it in the return value for this method.
That return value is passed as the argument to the onPostExecute() method which runs back in our main thread where we can interact with the user interface by replacing the displayed text in our TextView with the result of the query.
Critique: The code here is written to explain how to connect to a PostgreSQL database and run a query from an Android application. As a result, there are many things that are very wrong with this code that you wouldn't want to do in a real application, but that fixing would involve more code that would distract from the lesson. The hard coded connection string, for example, is a very bad idea. There should be a way for the user to configure the connection details instead. The error handling presented here is not very robust (and there is at least one bug in it. Can you find it?). There's a lack of generality in the code and probably a lot of other problems that someone more familiar with Java as a language could point out, but for what it tries to do, the program does work.
Exercises for the Reader:
0) Read the reference documentation for the classes used here. Try making changes to the code and see what happens.
1) Provide an interface to allow the user to change the host name, database name, user name, and password (bonus points for also adding port number, connection timeout, and SSL settings) and have the program use this instead of hard coded information.
2) Alter FetchSQL so that it can execute an arbitrary SQL statement and return a full result set. Alter the interface to present a full table of information.
3) Make it interactive. Think of a task you may want to do with a database and provide an interface for creating new records, updating existing records, and obtaining some interesting information from the database.
End Note, Read Before Commenting:
As mentioned elsewhere I've closed the Disqus thread below. For some reason people have still been able to leave comments in it which has had the result that some comments appear to have been deleted, which is unfortunate but unintended. I have tried closing the thread again, but if you see it open again in the future, please do not bother placing questions there as I have no intention of answering any more questions on this topic for the reasons stated in the linked post. The example works if you follow the instructions. If it isn't working for you, it's because you didn't follow the instructions.

Dear SOS: The Loews Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C., has a wonderful seafood salad on its dining room menu. The dressing was wonderful -- a subtle lemon flavor. Can you possibly obtain the recipe for the salad and dressing? I am craving this and not likely to be back there soon!
Elaine Hulderman
San Dimas
Dear Elaine: We loved the bright flavors, colors and textures in this deceptively simple salad. Shrimp, jumbo lump crab and smoked trout top a medley of lettuces and finely shaved fennel, composed and dressed with a light lemon anise dressing.
Seafood salad
Total time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2
Note: Adapted from the Madison, a Loews Hotel, Washington, D.C.
Lemon anise dressing
1 lemon
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Pernod
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup oil (vegetable, canola or grape seed)
Salt and pepper
1. Zest and juice the lemon, combining both in a measuring cup. Measure out 1 ounce, discarding the rest or reserving it for another use.
2. To the combined lemon zest and juice, add the honey, Pernod, shallots and mustard, whisking together. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This makes about three-fourths cup dressing, more than is needed for the remainder of the recipe; cover and refrigerate the leftover dressing up to 3 days.

EVERYONE must have noticed the occurrence of plaques of roughness upon the skin of middle-aged and elderly people, especially those of a light or sandy complexion. These spots are known as 'keratoses.' Their importance is due to the fact that some of them are actually the earliest stage of cancer, and that their removal pre-vents the development of cancer in that spot.
Why Public Should Know Facts Concerning Cancer
In ancient medical literature few references to cancer can be found. There are two possible reasons for this—one is that cancer is a disease of the later ages of life, and in the old days of plagues and wars so few people lived to ripe ages that the disease was comparatively rare. Another reason may be that means of curing cancer were unknown up to 65 years ago.
How Cancer Develops And How It May Be Cured
Medical men are frequently asked: 'When are you going to find something out about cancer?' The inference being that we know nothing whatever about it.What is meant by such a question—the germ of truth that it contains—is that we are not certain of the cause of cancer, and we have no certain means of curing every cancer, no matter what stage it is in.
Progress Is Being Made In Treatment Of Cancer
By the injection of a substance named 'prolan,' it has been found possible to reduce the growth of cancer in mice.This report is made by three German investigators, H. Zondek, B. Zondek and W. Hartoch. It is not claimed that the cancer is made to disappear entirely, but the limitation of growth which occurs amounts to nearly 90 per cent.It is possible that in such experiments as these the key to the treatment of cancer will be found.
Home Treatment-first Aid
The first thing to do in preparing a family medicine closet is to dear out all the débris that nobody is using regularly. Most of the liquid preparations have probably been decomposed and become inert by this time so they will not be much of a loss. In recommending what should be in a medicine closet, people usually say that the poisons should be put on the top shelves and nothing but poisons should be put there.
The Dangers Of Self-dosing With Medication
We spoke yesterday of the possibility of danger of continued self-dosing with drugs. In most cases the family physician has prescribed a drug for a patient, thinking that it will be used for a few days, until the symptoms are relieved, but the patient continues to take it for an indefinite period, with disastrous results.Within the past few years, medical literature has been filled with reports of poisoning from the use of atophan or cincophen.
How Folk Treat Themselves To Keep The Doctor Away
Physicians, in general, deplore the habit which many people have of administering drugs to themselves. And yet I think they all know in their hearts it will be done. They do it themselves, and they see their families and friends do it without consulting them.
Why It's Dangerous To Use Cathartics When In Pain
We discussed above the common habit that people have of prescribing for and dosing themselves. All doctors, of course, preach against this, but in so doing I believe they overreach themselves because they antagonize people, who think they are assuming that attitude for selfish purposes and financial gain.
Do You Know What To Do In Case Of An Accident?
What would you do if a member of your family was severely cut and bleeding? Suppose you and another person, in taking a walk, were to find a man who was unconscious, apparently as the result of some accident. Your companion goes to the nearest place for help. What can you do in the meantime? What would you do in case somebody in your family came rushing in with the horrifying announcement that he had accidentally poisoned himself?
How To Stop The Bleeding From Veins Or Arteries
An injury followed by bleeding that does not stop immediately always warrants attention and should have treatment.In order to give intelligent treatment, diagnosis must be made. The important feature in the diagnosis is whether or not the bleeding is coming from an artery or a vein. In order to arrive at a conclusion you must know a little about the circulation of the blood.
How To Resuscitate Person Who Has Ceased Breathing
The induction of artificial respiration is an emergency method of first importance. It is applicable to any condition where the patient is knocked unconscious or shocked, as by drowning or by electric shock, to the point that breathing has ceased. In such an event, artificial respiration takes precedence over every other form of treatment.
How Emergency Treatment For Shock Is Administered
The emergency treatment of electric shock, gas asphyxiation, motor exhaust gas asphyxiation and drowning, all have the one thing in common, that in all these conditions breathing usually stops, and the obvious first aid treatment is artificial respiration.In case of electric shock, the first procedure is sometimes to remove the person from contact with the electric current.
First Aid Measures To Use When Person Takes Poison
Poisoning arises as a domestic emergency, frequently from the accidental ingestion of many substances, such as roach powder, antiseptics, plant sprays, rat poison and, in the case of children, from swallowing cathartic pills containing strychnine.In the treatment of poisoning of this kind, the three things which are naturally indicated are, first, to eliminate all poison possible from the body; second, general methods of stimulation, and, third, the use of an antidote.
Emergency Measures When Folk Take Poison
The first thing everybody tries to think of as soon as a member of the family has taken some poison accidentally, is the right antidote.That, however, is probably the least important element in the emergency procedure for poisoning.What can be done that is most helpful before the doctor comes, is simple, easy, applies to every poison—no matter what kind—cannot possibly do any harm if there has been a false alarm, and need not tax the memory.
Strychnine Is Commonest Cause Of Poison In Child
Five hundred children die a year in the United States from accidental poisoning. This is a minimum statement, because many die without poisoning being suspected or reported when it has actually occurred.And this figure does not include the many cases—accurately diagnosed or not in which the outcome was not fatal.
How Industrial Poisonings Are Detected, Controlled
The poisoning of workers who are employed in manufacturing processes which naturally involve poisoning materials, is, to a very large degree, under control in the United States and other industrial countries. Such control is, however, a comparatively recent development.Industrial poisoning is not so important a subject as industrial diseases in general, for not nearly so many people are employed in trades which carry a poison hazard as there are in the dusty trades or in hot and strenuous labor.
Poison From Shoe Dye - Its Cause And Effect
Shoe dye poisoning may be a mystery as to the cause when it occurs, but it leaves no doubt that something has happened. It nearly scares the victim and every one who sees him to death.Including the doctor. I have described it before and I recently had a letter from a physician of wide experience who said that on reading an account of such a case which I had written, the mystery of a case which had puzzled him for months was solved.
How Common Articles May Poison Some Folk
The wild animal lives in a constant state of danger. Every mouthful of food it eats must be punctuated by a look around to see that none of its enemies are waiting to pounce on it. Every move it makes is fraught with danger of which, in most instances, it is unaware.Man in a state of civilization often congratulates himself that he is better off. Maybe he is, but our recent record of kidnapings, murders, and gang warfares would not lead one to become too optimistic.
Fire As A Winter Hazard
After falls, the most serious hazard of winter is burns. Burns, scalds and explosions take the lives of 6,000 men, women and children every year. More people, according to a recent study, are burned to death in their homes than anywhere else. Nineteen kinds of fires are described and 11 occur most frequently in homes.The causes of fatal or injurious fires, according to 'Hygeia,' the Health Magazine, are as follows...
How To Prevent Tetanus After July Fourth Accident
The modern Fourth of July is a convincing example that unnecessary accidental destruction of life can be prevented by the marshalling of public opinion. We can believe that the dreadful death toll from automobile accidents in our own day is capable of reduction.Just think. In 1903 there were 4,449 Fourth of July injuries sufficiently grave to be reported, in the United States. Of these 415 developed lockjaw, 406 of whom died.
Drastic Treatment Needed In Cases Of Sunstroke
The mildest of the diseases due to heat is heat cramps. Two other conditions are distinguished which are due to the same cause—one is heat exhaustion and the other heat stroke or sunstroke.Heat exhaustion is characterized by pronounced weakness, stupor, pallor, profuse perspiration, increase of the heart beat and lowering of blood pressure. The victims of plain heat exhaustion seldom become unconscious. The temperature usually is moderately raised.
Summer Hygiene-dangers, Care Of Swimming Pools
Swimming is such a splendid form of exercise and so perfectly adapted to summer that the increase in swimming pools in all communities is to be welcomed.Is there any danger from the use of swimming pools? And if so, what should be done to make them safe?The dangers are very real. It is impossible for a swimmer to prevent secretions from the nose and mouth from being mixed with the water. These are frequently harmless but may be highly infectious.
Follow These Ten Rules For Beneficial Vacation
It always is well in the early summer to remind those who are going on a vacation that the purpose of the vacation is to be restful and healthful and make you better able to do your work the rest of the year. It seems to me that the restful part is most frequently neglected in American vacations.A week after most people return from their vacations they are able to say that they feel almost as well as before they left, and while this is not sensible, it is very human.
Hydrotherapeutic Institute In Bathtub Of Every Home
The high level of average healthfulness in modern life is not entirely due to the discoveries of the medical profession. Medicine has been very adaptable in its habit of incorporating important discoveries made by people outside its own ranks.
Home Care Of The Sick
THE home care of the sick by a member of the household is, in many cases, a necessity for financial reasons, and under no circumstances is it to be despised. Most sick people are more comfortable at home than at a hospital, and for most illnesses, even those that require confinement to bed, the patients are actually safer at home.
Diet For The Convalescent Patient
Convalescent or invalid diets need not differ fundamentally from the requirements of a balanced diet for a normal person. These requirements are, as we have repeated so often this week, as follows: The diet MUST (1) furnish enough energy to keep the body going; (2) furnish enough material for growth and replacement of tissue waste; (3) furnish enough water, inorganic mineral salts and vitamins...
Home Nursing—making The Invalid's Bed
The invalid's whole universe is his bed. The member of the household who undertakes to be the official home nurse must learn to make it comfortable, safe and helpful.The position in which the bed should be placed is worth the first consideration. Let it be where there is light and sunshine, where the sick person can look out of the window, at the same time not where the light will bother the eyes.
Home Care Of The Sick-bathing
To give the invalid a bath in bed is rightly regarded as the apex of the nicety of nursing technique.The home nurse regards this procedure with awe and dread. Yet all she needs to do to gain assurance is to plan a bath in bed and give one.The whole secret of success is in planning ahead. Close the windows and put a screen in front of the door. A screen can be improvised with a clothes horse and a blanket. A table and chair should be put at the head of the bed at the right side of the patient.
The Aged
Old age is a physiological process which makes definite changes in the body quite as natural as the reverse processes which occur during the period of growth on the other side of the Hill of Life.The late Dr. Warthin called old age 'the major involution,' meaning it was a change of all the organs of the body, as contrasted with 'minor involution,' in which a single organ was concerned.
Treatment Of Old Age
The treatment of old age should be begun in middle age. All the activities of life must be diminished. Long periods of physical or mental exertion are to be absolutely interdicted. This is wisdom, not only for the individual, but for the social organism.One of the wisest men I know said he never intended to write a business letter, make an important decision, or write a check for less than $50, after the age of 65.
Pneumonia Is One Danger Of Aged Person Ill In Bed
Pneumonia is one of the great dangers of old age. If you care to look at the matter in a different way, you may, with Dr. William Osier, call it 'the old man's friend.' It is particularly likely to occur if the patient is kept in bed for any length of time. For this reason a fractured bone in old people has far greater potentiality for harm than simply the consideration of the fracture itself would indicate.

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick will remain the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Coach Andy Reid announced the decision on Wednesday. The Eagles are off and Reid and Vick are not scheduled to address the media again until Thursday. Vick, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, has struggled this season and Philadelphia (3-4) has lost three straight games. Reid didn't endorse Vick after Sunday's 30-17 loss to Atlanta, saying he's going to evaluate all his starters. Vick then said he would support whatever decision Reid makes. That led to speculation Vick's days were numbered. But Reid is sticking with Vick over unproven rookie Nick Foles as of now.
