Could Golden Nanoparticles Transform Trees Into Street Lights?
Street lights are an important part of our urban infrastructure—they light our way home and make the roads safe at night. But what if we could create natural street lights that don't need electricity to power them? A group of scientists in Taiwan discovered that placing gold nanoparticles within the leaves of trees causes them to give off a luminous reddish glow. The idea of using trees to replace street lights is an ingenious one: not only would it save on electricity costs and cut CO2 emissions, but it could also greatly reduce light pollution in major cities.
The discovery came about accidentally after the scientists were looking for a way to create high-efficiency lighting similar to LED technology, but without using toxic chemicals such as phosphor powder. Speaking about the development, Professor Shih-Hui Chang said, "Light emitting diode (LED) has replaced traditional light source in many display panels and street lights on the road. A lot of light emitting diode, especially white light emitting diode, uses phosphor powder to stimulate light of different wavelengths. However, phosphor powder is highly toxic and its price is expensive. As a result, Dr. Yen-Hsun Wu had the idea to discover a method that is less toxic to replace phosphor powder. This is a major motivation for him to engage in the research at the first place."
By implanting the gold nanoparticles into the leaves of the Bacopa caroliniana plants, the scientists were able to induce the chlorophyll in the leaves to produce a red emission. Under a high wavelength of ultraviolet light, the gold nanoparticles were able to produce a blue-violet fluorescence to trigger a red emission in the surrounding chlorophyll.
"In the future, bio-LED could be used to make roadside trees luminescent at night. This will save energy and absorb CO2 as the bio-LED luminescence will cause the chloroplast to conduct photosynthesis," Dr. Yen-Hsun Su said in an interview with Chemistry World. The Royal Society of Chemistry, the largest organization in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences, applauded the discovery and published the paper by lead scientist Dr. Yen-Hsun Wu in the journal Nanoscale.

Not to be a bother, but has anyone asked what happens when bugs, birds, and this little guy [http://goo.gl/WP0iW] eat from these golden tree-lights?

Sometimes I despair….. another article leaping to unfounded conclusions, touting so-called benefits of technology-over-Nature. Sure it's interesting, even a bit cool in a passing way. But useful? It seems to me like yet one more instance of our vast misunderstanding of how systems link causes with effects, as well as our cluelessness regarding natural organisms and their functions. I don't understand why this was even listed in Inhabitat.
December 25, 2010 at 10:01 pm
this is a real good idea. except for anything eating the gold, or trying to live in the trees at night, or the trees themselves. or eventually us. modifing nature has always worked out so well for human.

VANCOUVER, CANADA – November 16, 2014 – Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called for better police enforcement in parks and forests at an environmental rally yesterday in now-treeless Stanley Park. "It's incredibly unfortunate that we can no longer have trees in downtown Vancouver," stated Robertson, at a Save the Trees rally. "It's been a losing battle ever since we switched to nanoparticles, and our local meth addicts realized they could get cash for gold."
Oh, come on, you know it'd happen.

No, this finding was for LEDs ALONE – "The principal characteristic of diodes sold for lighting purposes is the high proportion of blue in the white light emitted and their very high luminance ("brightness"). The issues of most concern identified by the Agency concern the eye due to the toxic effect of blue light and the risk of glare."
Here's the report from ANSES (French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety) – http://via-verlag.com/fileadmin/PDFs/ANSES_PR_LED_risks_e.pdf

"shining UV and blue light from LED is just simply a BAD idea – the lights emitted from LED in the UV and blue spectrums are already proven to be HARMFUL to the human eye and children under the age of 12 are extremely susceptible to this – …the intense blue-white light exerts "toxic stress" to the retina, with a severe risk of glare. Children are particularly sensitive to this health hazard since their eyes are still developing and the lens is not capable of filtering out the harmful wavelengths."
I don't think that's what they're suggesting at all. Under lab conditions artificial UV light is required, but in the real world such organic LEDs would be powered by the Sun's rays, and then probably a chemical reaction that released the energy stored by the nanoparticles as a form of "chlorolight" would be used every night that didn't damage the collection process.
Having said that, blue and UV light is emitted from neon lamps and such, so I doubt we'll be seeing manufacturers changing those because of a health risk anytime soon. White, pink, amber and green lighting would be best from what you've said, however, which are more common from the old street lamps and probably wouldn't create the same medical problems.

Can the trees be turned off? If the branches are lopped off do they glow? What is the effect on humans who live close to the trees for a few years?
November 14, 2010 at 10:55 pm
FYI the images provided are unrelated. They're trees under normal lighting.

don\'t put a relatively new idea into too many CREATIVE IDEAS without the proper testing and trials first.

get your FACTS right – fluorescent powder is toxic, phosphur is NOT.
November 14, 2010 at 8:27 pm
A much less confusing article about this is on new scientist. This does need constant UV, the gold particles will need constantly replacing, and it results in a very dim red glow; "…perhaps for decorative effect or even to provide faint illumination" http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn19675-glowing-plants-have-gold-in-their-veins.html
November 13, 2010 at 8:56 pm
I was about to read through these responses and leave the article be…. but one of my biggest pet peeves is when people are *improperly* corrected.
agenlate said:
"BTW it doesnt need UV light to glow….the article said the leaves glow red in normal light, and go blue in UV light…"
*Actually*, I would like to point out, as explicitly stated in the original article:
"Under a high wavelength of ultraviolet light, the gold nanoparticles were able to produce a blue-violet fluorescence to trigger a red emission in the surrounding chlorophyll."
Let us analyze that sentence, shall we?
UV light makes the nanoparticles glow blue/violet, the blue/violet glow of the nanoparticles then triggers a RED emission in the chlorophyll. The mechanism is very clearly UV -> nanoparticles -> chlorophyll -> red glow. You might have been able to argue that, perhaps, the nanoparticles' blue/violet glow created the overall color, except that the the article also specifically stated earlier that "A group of scientists in Taiwan recently discovered that placing gold nanoparticles within the leaves of trees, causes them to give off a luminous reddish glow", and that "scientists were able to induce the chlorophyll in the leaves to produce a red emission". All of these things invalidate agenlate's statement.
as for Jeff Shaner… why are these responses moronic? People are expressing their opinions (whether right or wrong) as per their own understanding of the science. Maybe if most people think the idea is a bad one, it could actually be bad? Or maybe the writer of this inhabitat article simply mis-interpreted the intent of the original article. I don't know. But don't put people down uselessly
November 13, 2010 at 5:03 am
I have mixed reservations about this project; particularly in the hues that the trees will be able to generate. Most people with Photosensitive Epilepsy suffer as a result of continuous shifts in the colour when they are looking at it. When the trees are "breathing" light in this part of the spectrum, people with the condition may suffer a seizure.
If, however, the same technique can be used to generate additional colours, I see no reason why it couldn't be approved as a viable technology.
November 13, 2010 at 1:51 am

You know, TerraHertz has a very good point, "How about we humans just stop trying to make night like day?"
I, for another, would like to have the beautiful dark night sky and stars back in the city. How about you? Citizens working together, can reclaim a starry night sky back into healthy family living. We can grow up finally… most lights provide us with the "feeling" of security… and little more other than pollution and expense to the taxpayers.
There is plenty of room for balance and compromise of how much artificial light we allow UP in the sky without an ounce of compromise to human safety or comfort.

November 12, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Fascinating. . . but, what is the goal here? to illuminate the tree or the ground beneath it?
Look at the deep shadows beneath the trees… how can that simulate the effects of a properly designed streetlight? btw, it is rare to even see a properly designed street light. Most streetlights greatly contribute to light pollution unnecessarily so, simply because the wrong design was chosen… and many are not even needed at all! Citizens are way too complacent to permit BAD LIGHTING installed in their neighborhoods… many shining into the privacy of their own homes. Even, otherwise thoughtful, homeowners seem to be totally oblivious to their security lights shining into their neighbors' property and windows. We are way too excited to grab onto new technology clueless to its effects to human health or to the environment. Be careful with nanotecno and blue LEDs… and, it is wise to cautiously limit artificial light at night both inside and out as much as you practically and safely can. Don't take my word for it; there is compelling, interesting research to back these concerns. search it out.
November 12, 2010 at 3:56 pm
Awesome idea! I hope this actually happens. What if you live in the desert? Can they make tumbleweeds glow, or maybe the cacti?

Excellent development!
November 12, 2010 at 10:34 am
In addition to the excellent point made by others, I'm concerned about the rush to employ nanotechnology while we still know very little about the effects of nanoparticles on humans and other biological systems. We already know that the size of particles can make a huge difference to biological effects. For instance, air pollution due to ultrafine particles is much more harmful than pollution containing larger particles.
November 12, 2010 at 12:45 am
"…it could also greatly reduce light pollution in major cities."
I'm a professional lighting designer and this statement makes no sense. The way to reduce light pollution is to aim the source at the task, e.g.; all the light from a street light should aim down. It seems laughable to assert that all the leaves will point in the same direction.
November 12, 2010 at 12:41 am
Hint for the Taiwanese scientists: trees will give off even more light… when you burn them.
November 11, 2010 at 8:06 pm
Its not that I want them to drop it all and say \"my life is useless\"… if nothing else, science gets by much better when people are adding ALL their ideas to the conceptual stew.
Just, their suggested application seems nonsensical, and reporting it as \"the future of streetlamps\" seems a little distant from the truth.
If they were proposing to use the red-glow ability to, in the future, engineer trees that can display advertisements in glowing red during the daytime (when UV radiation is actually substantial), then at least that would make sense. What they are currently saying is akin to saying \"We tried putting water skiis on our feet, and we were able to waterski behind a boat and stay above the water\'s surface. Perhaps in the future, these advanced skiis will let us walk over any water body at our leisure.\" Without the motorboat and/or cruising velocity, there\'s no chance of waterskiis letting you just walk across water. In the same way, there\'s a small chance of these glowing trees working at night when there is practically no UV radiation to power them.

"Ummm, what happens in fall / winter when the leaves start dropping?"
Evergreen tree…
November 11, 2010 at 9:26 am
Be nice if the pictures actually showed the stuff in action instead of daytime pics with applied color effects or the one night time pic with obvious uplighting.
November 11, 2010 at 4:53 am
Yes, to everything kpoole asked. Plus, pics of some red-glowing leaves or it didn't happen. All the illustrations to this article are near-IR photographs of ordinary scenes.
How about we humans just stop trying to make night like day? I for one would like to have the beautiful dark night sky and stars back in the city. Vehicle lights, and cheap, efficient, non-light-polluting personal LED lights at night – who really needs more?
November 11, 2010 at 2:36 am
How does it affect the trees themselves?
November 10, 2010 at 10:38 pm
What do the trees think about this?
November 10, 2010 at 9:45 pm
at over $1000 an ounce, I hardly think gold will be used in the near future to light up trees.
November 10, 2010 at 8:39 pm
hmmm… based on what I remember about chlorophyll, when the molecules are free (eg not attached or "plugged in" to the photosystems in the plant chloroplasts)they will fluoresce red under radiation. This behaviour comes about because the energy has nowhere to be transferred after absorption, and becomes re-emitted as light. When chlorophyll is properly incorporated in a photosynthetic framework, it doesn't glow because its extra energy powers the rest of photosynthesis.
Based on these points…. it seems reasonable to assume (to me) that the gold nanoparticles are somehow disrupting the ability of chlorophyll to transfer its energy to the photosynthetic pathway. IF this is the case (granted I don't know for sure that it is), then any plant with this modification would not remain healthy for long. Disrupting photosynthesis means no production of carbs, amino acids, etc, and would probably lead fairly quickly to the death of the plant.
Additionally, it would require gold (not cheap), which would get lost as the plant lost leaves. And, perhaps most uselessly, without ultraviolet radiation, there would be no glow. Hence, at night, when the light is actually needed, the trees would be dark as ever. I agree with kpoole that chemical illumination is a far better path, like that found in fireflies or jellyfish.
November 10, 2010 at 8:16 pm
Ummm, what happens in fall / winter when the leaves start dropping?
November 10, 2010 at 6:48 pm
So, we implant Gold nanoparticles into the leaves of trees which then fluoresce when exposed to ultra violet light.
Who collects the gold in the fall when the leaves drop, where does the gold come from to implant each year, how much gold would be required to activate a large tree, WHERE does the ultraviolet light come from at night to make the trees glow so they can replace the street lights, ultraviolet street lights?
It might be better to use the some type of chemiluminescence, as fireflies use, rather than depending on one source of light to create another source of light.
November 10, 2010 at 6:41 pm
How about the birds? I'm sure this would affect their behaviour

A royal Happy Birthday to Prince William!
The Duke of Cambridge turns 30 today and in honor of the milestone, Hollyscoop staffers will be spending the day playing polo and talking in British accents. (Not really.)
On a more serious note….
Will's lovely wife Kate Middleton has prepared a special day for her stud muffin. According to ABC News, the couple will skip an extravagant fiesta and stick to a more exclusive setting.
"He has a very close, very loyal circle of friends and chances are he'll be celebrating with them and they'll be keeping tight lipped," ABC News contributor Victoria Arbiter said.
Reportedly, Kate is planning a private dinner for William along with that close circle of friends.
But forget all that noise… Let's get to the gifts!
Turning 30 means that the Prince will finally have access to a mega inheritance that his mother, the late Princess Diana, left behind for him. According to London's Telegraph, the inheritance is an eye-popping $31 million, of which he will have to split with Prince Harry.
No word yet on how Kate plans to follow that gift up.
Kate turned 30 earlier this year. Despite speculation that that bash would be a glitzy affair, Kate and her party planning sister Pippa settled for a mellow day as well. Around that time, she and Will welcomed a new member into their family: a cocker spaniel named Lupo.

Well, there goes our band. We had previously counted on being famous rockers. Actually, I guess we should have been concerned when our wooden rocker did go missing. These bunnies, these bunnies...
Minnie ate so much her ears drooped.
Minnie, did you eat too much pumpkin pie??? That's my favorite too!
i smelled pumpkin cookie on minnie's breath twice yesterday. that means she got TWO cookies. i only got one. :( that's why she's stuffed
@BunnyMomma: A girl can never have too many pumpkin cookies! If I had three, I would give two to my bunny also! :)
Also, BunnyMomma, I have had trouble posting on your website ... says I don't have permission. Getting the same error from one other bunny site, too. Just fyi... I love your pics but can't comment. :(
Minnie will be Maxi if she eats too many drumsticks!
And OMgods BunnyMomma, that Minnie sure can climb! Love her mountain goat video. Has nobun told her she's a ground dwelling mammal?
Minnie looks very much like a sweet potato bunny smothered in marshmallow fluff right out o' the oven. NomNom
@b: That's how Drizzle got his name.....I thought he looked like a scoop of vanilla ice cream with caramel sauce drizzled over him! MMMmmmm !!
You recognized her? lol She was born climbing! She used the steps to get on the sofa when she was 3 weeks old. Now she leaps on the sofa, barely touching the seat cushion and springs to the back of the sofa. I had to stuff old throws back there because she flies right off the back sometimes and ends up between the sofa and wall. Not recommended. lol
Man o man do I LOVE bunny wabbits!
Bunny Wabbits are the Best!
... ooooh, way too much dandelion salad, and pumpkin pie, ... and nutriberrie pie, ... and .... zzzzzzzzz... (sleepy time)
Bunnies are definitely the best! And Minnie is a fine example; what a pretty girl! But being a pretty girl bunny is tiring work!

The Bowie High School football team will forfeit its scheduled Friday game against Charles H. Flowers, Bowie coach Jae Jackson said his athletic director informed him.
Jackson said the decision came after his team's 20-13 loss to Westlake on Saturday, but he declined to elaborate. He said he was uncertain whether the Westlake result would stand.
Bowie Athletic Director Jessica Brandt could not be reached for comment.
Prince George's Public Schools Athletic Director Earl Hawkins said the forfeit is due to the entire Bowie team being disqualified by the officials against Westlake.
"When students are disqualified from a game, they cannot play in the next game," Hawkins said.
Hawkins said Jackson is suspended for one additional game, Bowie's Sept. 21 contest against Suitland. Hawkins declined to provide the reason for the suspension and said Bowie's assistant coaches can work the Suitland game.
Westlake is also forfeiting its game this week, against Lackey. The Charles County Public Schools news release announcing the forfeit said that "the cancellation is a forfeit for Westlake as a result of a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct that occurred at a game last week."
Westlake defeated Bowie with 2 seconds left in regulation on John Bell's 43-yard punt return for a touchdown. Both teams came onto the field in a benches-clearing fight in the third quarter.
According to the Southern Maryland newspapers, sister papers to The Gazette, four players, two from each side, were ejected during the fight.

Oahu isn't the biggest Hawaiian island geographically -- that would be the Big Island, of course -- but it is the largest, by far, in population, and the state's definitive center of commerce. Honolulu, once a sleepy state capital, has grown into a veritable metropolis, with a population of one million at last count. Waikiki, its tourism center, is a bustling sub-city in its own right. Because of all that development, the area in and around Honolulu is decades removed from the unspoiled tropical paradise that many mainlanders associate with the entire state. Nevertheless, Waikiki remains an obvious choice for those who want a Hawaiian vacation -- sun, sand, luaus, surfing, hula, mai tais -- without sacrificing the creature comforts of home.
At any given time, 44 percent of visitors in the entire state are spending the night in Waikiki, a touristy, milelong stretch of shops, restaurants, and high-rise hotels that runs along Oahu's southeast coast. Waikiki offers a curious blend of mainland suburban staples and local flavor. On the sidewalks, Japanese tourists intermingle with tanned locals, surfboards under their arms, on their way to the beach to catch a few waves after work. On both sides of the street, high-end retailers -- Tiffany, Cartier, even an Apple store -- are interspersed with indoor malls and streetside vendors hawking cheap seashell jewelry and T-shirts. Seemingly every midmarket chain restaurant can be found here -- Cheesecake Factory, California Pizza Kitchen, Tony Roma's -- along with more than a handful of Starbucks and fast-food joints. Along the coast, manicured lawns and palm trees lead to a sunny white-sand beach. Children splash about in the shallow water near the shore, while surfers and standup paddle-boarders (the rad new thing to do) patrol the outer waters. And towering above it all: 40-story, thousand-room hotels like the Hyatt Regency and the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, dotting the landscape like pins in a cushion.
Outside of Honolulu, there are limited lodging options but plenty more space and beautiful scenery. Just 20 miles (about 25 minutes by car) from Honolulu airport -- nearly as close as Waikiki -- Ko Olina is an up-and-coming, master-planned resort area that offers a clean, easy version of the Hawaiian vacation on four man-made lagoons with turquoise waters. It's far less crowded and far more serene than Waikiki (save for the construction noise from the Disney resort being built, to be completed in 2011).
Even more serenity, and more natural beauty, can be had on the island's lush North Shore, home to legendary surfing beaches like the Banzai Pipeline and Waimea Bay. In the winter, waves can top 40 feet. Year round, a mellow vibe pervades on the uncrowded beaches, bookended by volcanic rock and surrounded by green mountains. With more locals than tourists, roadside shrimp trucks and fruit stands, and the quaint, historic surf town of Haleiwa, the North Shore offers some of the island's most quintessential pleasures. But it is isolated -- about an hour from Waikiki and the airport.
With its plethora of budget and midrange options, Waikiki is an excellent choice for those who want a Hawaiian vacation without breaking the bank. On that prudent end of the spectrum, we highly recommend Hotel Renew, the Aston Waikiki Beach, the Park Shore, and -- a steal at less than $100 a night -- the newly renovated Aqua Waikiki Pearl. For families with a little more leeway, price-wise, we like the Marriott Waikiki, Sheraton Waikiki, and the Hilton Hawaiian Village. And for those with a lot more leeway, price-wise, there are really only three luxury hotels in Waikiki: the Moana Surfrider, the Royal Hawaiian, and the Halekulani, all of which offer their own advantages and disadvantages.
The best hotel on the island might be the Kahala, 10 minutes outside Waikiki. Among its many highlights: five-star service, beautiful rooms, an elite restaurant, and Dolphin Quest, the only swim-with-the-dolphins experience on the island.
In Ko Olina, on the west coast, the Marriott reigns. The JW Marriott Ihilani provides the only true hotel-style accommodations in the area, and luxurious ones at that, with a gorgeous full-service spa, award-winning restaurants, and huge, elegant guest rooms. The neighboring Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club shares many of its amenities and activities, but offers time-share-style accommodations (typically two- and three-bedroom units with kitchen facilities) designed for longer stays. The Beach Club also boasts three amazing pools, seven Jacuzzis, and a waterslide, which aren't shared with the JW, and make it one of the best picks on the island for families.
On the North Shore, Turtle Bay Resort has seemingly everything -- miles of unspoiled shoreline, great restaurants, two 18-hole golf courses, its own stables, even helicopter rides on-site -- but the lobby and guest rooms are dated and bland, not luxurious. Further off the beaten path, the Ke Iki Beach Bungalows provide funky, modest beachfront lodgings. Service is nonexistent -- staying in one of the 11 bungalows is akin to renting a house -- and amenities are zero, but a beautiful North Shore beach is just out the door, as are hammocks and barbecues.
We compiled lists of the best luxury hotels, best value hotels, best family-friendly hotels, most romantic hotels, "hidden gem" hotels, our favorite hotel rooms, and the best hotel spas. Don't have time to read all that? Not to fear. We selected one hotel from each list that bests its competitors (if only slightly).
The packed beaches and megaresorts of Waikiki tend to be most popular with budget travelers and families. But luxury travelers who like Oahu for its familiarity and convenience will still find a handful of posh havens amidst the hubbub.
Budget travelers who don't think Hawaii is in their price range should think again. It's exotic, sure, but it's accessible for every budget -- especially in Waikiki, where competition between megaresorts to fill their many rooms results in refreshingly low rates.
A kid-friendly resort in Oahu is usually one of two things: A large, amenity-packed mega-resort with kid activities and dining options galore, or a do-it-yourself, kitchen-equipped condo for longer (albeit no-frills) stays. We found standouts of both types.
On Oahu, it's important to remember that the reality can include crowded Waikiki beaches, which makes finding a romantic hotel a bit of a challenge. But if you choose wisely, there are gems to be found among the hyper children and rows of towels.
Visitors to Hawaii constantly get to experience the thrill of discovery: a beautiful flower, a breathtaking view, or a secret beach can feel as though it belongs to you alone. But when it comes to hotels, it's hard to find a refuge that hasn't already been discovered by the teeming hordes.
Rooms in Hawaii vary greatly in size, style, and amenities, but we've slept in over 90 beds across the state to bring your top picks. Here's our list of the top eight rooms that we found to be the most spacious, stylish, and sumptuous.
Oahu draws more families than romance or luxury travelers (who often head to Maui), but spa-lovers and stressed-out parents counting on relaxation shouldn't worry: the island is home to a number of top-notch spas.

Alice Paul is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Yet, during her lifetime she wasn't interested in glory. She kept her eye on the prize: women's rights and the vote. This video fills in a great deal. And keep in mind that author Mary Walton never heard of Alice Paul before a newspaper editor brought Paul to her attention. Meanwhile, this interview highlights where Walton calls Paul "the most overlooked civil rights leader of the 20th century."

National glory at last for Nick Saban's Tigers! With a monumental defensive effort that completely stifled Oklahoma's Heisman-winning Quarterback Jason White, LSU went to the Sugar Bowl with a chance to claim the BCS title, and sent the partisan home-state crowd home in ecstacy with a thrilling 21-14 victory.
This incredible panoramic poster commemorates that classic Sunday night in New Orleans with a beautiful shot of a defining moment in the game. Trailing by only a touchdown, the Sooners stood at midfield with two minutes left in the fourth quarter, but were down to 3rd-and-10. With a stop, the game was all but over. With White getting ready to take the biggest snap of his life, and with the Tigers defense getting ready to make their biggest stop in their history...CLICK! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. With the stunning backdrop of the legendary Louisiana Superdome, the moment has become a must-have addition to your wall, forever invoking memories of Lionel Turner, Marcus Spears, Marquise Hill, Eric Alexander, Corey Webster, Randall Gay, Travis Daniels, Justin Vincent and the rest of the boys from that unforgettable championship season. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

In an independent benchmarking study of the medical transcription profession by the Hay Management Consultants (HayGroup), three distinct professional levels for medical transcriptionists were identified and described as presented below. The HayGroup is a worldwide human resources consulting firm with extensive expertise in work analysis and job measurement.
Subsequent to this benchmark study of the job content levels of MTs, the HayGroup conducted a compensation survey, analyzing pay as it relates to these levels. (Hay's survey methodology complied with federal antitrust regulations regarding healthcare compensation surveys.) The results include information on transcription pay at the corporate level (healthcare organizations and MT businesses) and compensation for independent contractors. The data are further presented by geographic region, size of business, types of pay programs (pay for time worked and pay for production), and reward programs (benefits, etc.). The Hay report, "Compensation for Medical Transcriptionists," is contained in a 30-page booklet, available to members upon request.

As you can see, there still was some overflow laterally at the chest. It was worse before the extras were done and this is due to the arm/chest cut, which could be higher towards the arm. There is plenty of fabric in the seams to allow for that kind of alteration but I did not have the time.
Overall, everyone loved the total look from LIB: shoes, purse and shawl included. See other reviews. Comfortable to sit in and even better to dance in. I would recommend LIB for their communication, shipping and pricing for a great look!

DeVault's career-high 25-point effort lifts Lady Bucs over Evansville, 77-74
Saturday, November 24, 2007
Both halves of basketball were tightly contested and as exciting as they come, with both teams holding its largest lead at eight points. Fortunately, for the Lady Buccaneers their largest lead came at the 5:21 mark in the second half, when a Turman jumper gave ETSU a 70-62 advantage. From that point on ETSU never trailed; however,
ETSU shot a season-high 48.4 percent (30-62) for the ballgame, while
The first half saw eight lead changes and four ties.
DeVault netted 11 of her 25 points in the first frame, and guided the Lady Bucs to a 55.2 shooting clip (16-29).
With the victory, ETSU snapped a two-game skid, pushing its mark to 2-3 on the early season; while
The Lady Buccaneers will close out their 2007 home schedule next Saturday when ETSU hosts reigning Big South Tournament champion UNC Asheville at 1:30 p.m. from

Rules of the game
October 03, 2005, 09:43:40 PM »
I'm responding to your last post on the Howard Smith episode. I agree with you fully that other thread is not about Howard. Actually, it is not my intention that this one should be about Howard either. As the title of the topic implies, it is more generic. I thought it useful to initiate such a topic, because a couple of members have already expressed concern about the episode. I believe any such concerns could be put to rest if all members knew and observed "the rules of the game". I imagine these rules would exist somewhere, and would most likely consist of applied common sense, courtesy and respect. So if the ground rules do exist, I recommend that you point us to them. If they do not exist, it would be a good idea to develop several generic guidelines and the consequences of not respecting them. That way every one knows what to expect and there will be no surprises.

Well put, Mark. I agree that what was upsetting to some of us was the sense that one could be terminated from the forum for violating some standard that had never been expressed publicly.

As another individual who has been "warned" I would be interested in finding out exacty what the rules of the road might be as well.

Well I've been warned as well. I can clearly state that I was told in no uncertain terms that defending one's country after being insulted by another forum member is considered politically incorrect and will not be tolerated. I'll not be making that mistake here anymore.

I've never been warned, which leaves me feeling a little left out...
If you live in Canada, Western Europe or the U.S., there's an instinctive distaste for warnings about what we say, because of our tradition of wide and free-ranging speech. The warnings become somewhat more problematic if there are no guidelines as to what is permitted and what isn't.
However, as you can see by trying to make sense of a thread on DP Review, where you spend half your time opening messages that turn out of be trolls, or time-wasting assaults on somebody else, etc., and where even the simplest questions are often answered with insults, there is much to be said for civility and some kind of enforcement of it. There's a lot of good information on DP Review, but sometimes getting to it can be too much trouble. I wouldn't like to see that happen here.
So let me suggest some guidelines.
-Act like an adult. It's not that hard.
-If somebody insults you, turn the other cheek. It's the other guy who's the dimwit, or the hormone-inflicted adolescent.
-If you're writing a post and realize that you're geeking out, stop and rewrite.
-Don't embellish technical arguments or debates with invidious characterizations of your opponent's intelligence.
-Be careful with humor; what's funny to some people isn't to others. Doesn't mean you can't attempt humor, but be careful with it.
-Recognize the point when a discussion becomes a yes it is, no it isn't affair (also called a he said/she said argument.) At that point, nobody's mind's going to change, and that's where the insults often start.
At the same time, I don't think it hurts to be vigorous in your positions; extremely vigorous. But it you keep the argments on a technical level, or make clear that aesthetic arguments are personal points of view, and that contrary opinions don't necessary mean that you think those opinions are held by morons, then we should be all right.
I personally will say that I am extremely tired of Internet BS. All I want is a little interesting discussion/conversation from people who have interests that are similar to mine, without getting into the childish name-calling crap.

While not a frequent poster here or at Rob Galbraith, I do read both regularly. I think that the Rob Galbraith method of moderation (Rob himself and Mike Sturk) seems to be fairly effective.
Rob or Mike simply delete the posts that they find to be troublesome or offensive, and a message is left stating "Post deleted by Moderator Mike Sturk". No one really gets to know what was said, but it's a visible reminder to keep it civil. They also rarely, if ever, will enter into the discussion to chastise a poster or explain their reason for deleting a post. It's assumed that it's their forum, so they can censor it as they see fit.
I'd suggest the same for Neil, who seems to be tasked with helping Michael keep it civil here. He can delete as he sees fit, and if a poster has concerns they could discuss it with him in a private email.
The idea that long time posters will be "warned" or have a check mark put next to their name does not seem to me to be an effective way to manage the forum. People like Bob, Jonathan and Howard (and others) are who who make this forum what it is - a great place to learn. To chastise them is simply not a fair recognition of who they are and what they've done for this place.
I say to delete the message and let that speak for itself as a reminder to keep it civil. If someone is doing something extreme, that could be handled on a case by case basis.

The forum rules state 'respect other members'.
The only warning I have done is to people who have shown little respect to other members in their posts. The primary reason I use it is because it is a way for me to have a record on here for Michael to oversee.
I try to do here, as I feel he would. He's very tolerant and pretty much lets you say anything you like, but when it comes to starting spats - or even responding in kind to someone who's trying to start a fight simply isn't productive or respectful. I'm here to keep things this side of meltdown, its up to you to make it valuable, interesting, encouraging and anything else. You all know about the 'seberri' topic and while I came in slightly late to see all that was going on, I warned several of our regular members because it is just as important to NOT RESPOND to INCITEMENT as it is not to incite. As I looked over that thread I felt that both sides were grevous and should cool off. We regularly delete posts and ban e-mail and IP addresses when necessary.
Let me just say that if you're feeling urgent need to 'blast' off a post - just wait an hour and your perspective will probably change.
I'm not in any way upset or angry with Mr. Howard Smith. I felt his language was both sarcastic and disrespectful in addressing me, and his continued behavior bore out my judgement. He's still welcome here, nonetheless. I'm not here to have pretty things said about me
If you're a parent you know what its like to be in charge of discipline :laugh: Hope that clarifies things.

Let me post an example by Johnathan Weinke that I consider typical of 'what can go wrong':
The forum members here have a fairly long and distinguished history of delivering blunt and (most of the time) constructive and useful image critiques going back as long as I've participated here, even though the designated forum for such discussions is new. So your experiences elsewhere aren't particularly meaningful or relevant to what has ever gone on here, or is likely to anytime soon.
Who appointed you to be the Ultimate Arbiter Of The Practical Relevance Of Critique Forums?
Johnathan was fine until he asked the sarcasm laced question "Who appointed you...." Now from my (trying to be unobtrusive and unbiased) moderator POV, I either have to go in and edit out the offending line, delete the whole post (two clicks), or warn Johnathan of the problems sarcasm and whit can cause. So when necessary, I'll try to point out exactly what the offense is. I personally will only warn members, and let Michael decide if they should be banned.
But really, just save your fingers the typing of these last-ditch quasi-insults as it seems to come out a lot and is what causes most of the problems.

I find it a bit troubling that my question was in response to leonvick's asking me "When did you get appointed as Champion of the Realm and Keeper of the Keys to the Chastity Belts of the Virgins of Hypocrisy?" and he was not warned and I was. If I deserve a warning, he certainly does as well.

Just my 2 cents about rule-making.
I agree with the methods that you (and MR) have adopted to regulate what happens on the forum. Decide on a case by case basis what is over the top and privately tell people that you are trying to avoid that. Whether by warning or private email is up to you; the specific method does not really matter.
If you adopted a strict set of posting rules, I think that what would happen is that eventually some incident would expose a grey area in the rules, not previously forseen, and you'd end up with long legalistic threads of semantic analyses of what exactly the rules said or did not say. That's ok for lawyers pleading cases before the Supreme Court but out of place here, I would say.
I understand the point that Jonathan made in his last post here because fairness of treatment is always an issue. The trouble is that no matter what system you adopt, something will slip through the cracks and someone will feel hard done by. It's at the same both annoying and a waste of time and energy to dwell on.
The HAM radio world has long had a problem with illegal broadcasters horning in on legitimate communications. The tradition there is to NEVER respond to taunts, personal or otherwise. Treat it as interference, noise.
I like the advice about cooling off for a bit before responding too.

Anybody looking for perfection just isn't going to get it - that doesn't mean there isn't a good reason to have several explicit guidelines on the kinds of contributions that are considered OK and those that are not. Moderators' judgment is will be sometimes needed regardless, but having some guidelines just helps to make it all explicit and generally known. Guidelines don't have to be legalistic. It is really a matter a of making a few statements involving applied common sense, respect and decency.

Neil, thanks alot for posting those clarifications. Actually, for some strange reason the Discussion Board is not tracking and notifying me about some of the stuff I ask to be tracked, so I did not see your post previous to the one I made responding to Robert Roaldi (it was on the page before). Had I seen it, I think my post would have been unnecessary. I don't know whether I am the only one missing tracked items, or whether there is a functional problem on the Board itself.

Let me add my thanks to Neil for the clarification, and to Mark for pointing out that it was there on the previous page (which I, too, had missed.) Now maybe we can all be friends again? I must add that I owe a great debt to Michael, Neil, Jonathan, Mark, Howard, Ray, Lisa, and many others who have taught me so many valuable lessons here on the forum.

My fiancé bought me an Annello ring, but it was not a set. It has a square shape with a "lip" so we are having a hard time finding a band to fit. I dont want a band that has a cut out for the "lip", I'd prefer a diamond band. Would this band fit under the lip of the square on my engagement ring (17210853)? We tried rings on in a jewelry store today and I tried one that looks very similar to this and it fit perfect. It did not leave a space between the engagement ring and band, which is exactly what I want. I want them gosh to each other. No spaces. Thanks!
I saw the exact ring in a Large (well known) Jewelry shop at International Mall, in Tampa, FL. and this ring was priced 40% higher! So glad I found this ring on Overstock!...
ITEM#: 13419318The most brilliant of all cuts, round diamonds are the traditional choice for all occasions and are preferred by many connoisseurs. 14-karat white gold is very affordable and is a practical choice when choosing white gold for jewelry. This band features a total of 16 diamonds with a total weight of 1/6 carat. The pave setting provides timeless style. The 1.8-millimeter band features a high-polish finish for timeless elegance and a chic design. Ideal as a wedding band or promise ring, this band blends beautifully with other jewelry or looks great on its own.

Exquisit ring!

Too small
Very much smaller than it looks, would not buy againRead More
love this ring
This was a replacement for my wedding band and goes great with my engagement ring,adding a bit more shiny bling.The diamonds are tiny, pave style, just like I want! They are clear and bright with lots of sparkle,sparkle,sparkle! The band is thin in width and comfortable to wear.Read More
Simple And Serves It's Purpose
The engagement ring my son went with was great and really stands out. Wanted a simple wedding band to go with it. The stones are very, very small but it will work fine with his engagement ring. Sometimes you get this huge engagement ring and then a huge wedding ring and it's a little too much for my taste. I felt this was a subtle way to have a wedding ring without overpowering the engagement ring.Read More
Not as expected.
The ring is pretty. Very pretty. There isn't really anything wrong with the product. I just expected it to be different. I was expecting a little bit bigger diamonds and to be able to actually see each individual diamond. The diamonds are so small, that you need a magnifying glass to see them individually. When you see them, it looks like a dusting or shimmer of diamonds. Like I said, very pretty but I just want something a little bigger to use as a wedding band. This would look pretty by itself.Read More
Exactly what i wanted!
I bought this ring to go with my engagment ring and i love it!!!!! good choice! and i am very picky!Read More
This ring simple but classy
The ring is smaller than what the pictures depics but looks even classier in person. I combined the ring with a plain band that is the same width and they look great together. - Happy customer :)Read More
Almost... but not quite
I may have misunderstood what the description said, but I was a bit disappointed with the ring when I received it. I think it would have been cute as a fun extra ring. I was planning on using it as my wedding band and really wasn't that impressed when I got it. I decided to return it and purchase something in person.Read More
Perfectly Dainty Bling!
I bought this ring as a graduation gift & after seeing itbin person i have considered buying myself one too. She wears it as a right hand ring & it looks beautiful. The diamonds go further around the sides then I thought they would which is great because it appears to be an eternity band at first glance. Looks like I paid a whole lot more money than I really did. I would do it all over again.Read More
Not what I expected
The picture is completely untrue to the size of the ring.Read More

This story was updated at 3:40 p.m. July 8.
The man who died in an early morning crash in Gaithersburg on July 4 has been identified.
Shayne Johnson, 24, and Jean Marie Pollard, 28, were thrown from a 2003 Toyota Highlander, which had hit a utility pole, a bus stop, a tree, a fire hydrant, and a pole support cable, according to the statement.
Johnson of Emory Grove Road in Gaithersburg was pronounced dead at the scene; Pollard of Silver Spring was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The accident occurred shortly after 1:30 a.m., when a Montgomery County police officer on N. Summit Avenue spotted an SUV approaching with its high-beam headlights on. According to a police statement detailing the incident, the car did not dim its headlights and the officer made a U-turn to stop the vehicle.
As the officer made the U-turn, the SUV accelerated and turned east onto E. Diamond Avenue, traveling through a red light, according to the statement. The officer lost sight of the vehicle and when the vehicle could not be located, the officer began checking the businesses and driveways along E. Diamond Avenue.
The officer eventually found the car across from 503 E. Diamond Ave. It had left the road and rolled over, according to the statement.
Johnson's family members could not be reached for comment.
Staff writer St. John Barned-Smith contributed to this report.

Simple Sausage Stuffing
- Serves: 8
- Cook Time: 30-35 Minutes
- 4 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) herb seasoned stuffing mix
- 3½ cups *hot turkey broth (recipe follows)
- ½ pound turkey breakfast sausage, cooked and cases removed
- 1 can (8 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces
- Vegetable cooking spray
Preheat oven to 350 °F.
In large bowl, combine margarine, onions, poultry seasoning and stuffing mix. Add broth and stir to mix. Stir sausage and mushrooms into stuffing mixture.
Pack stuffing mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until stuffing is heated to an internal temperature of 165 °F and lightly browned on top.
*To prepare turkey broth, take giblets from turkey cavity and rinse under cold running water. Place all giblets, except the liver, in 3-quart saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to boil and skim off white foam; reduce heat. Simmer 1 hour, add liver and continue cooking 15 minutes. Remove giblets, cool and remove meat from neck. Chop all meat from giblets and, if desired, add to gravy. This broth is good for use in stuffing and gravy. Any leftover may be frozen and used as base for turkey soup.

Caleb Moore named Southern Conference Player of the Week
Wednesday, March 09, 2005
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 9, 2005) - East Tennessee State senior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) was named SoCon Baseball Player of the Week for games played between Feb. 21-27, as award winners from the last two weeks were announced this afternoon from the conference office in Spartanburg, S.C.
Caleb had almost a flawless afternoon in a doubleheader sweep of Xavier on Feb. 26 from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. Moore went 6-for-8 at the plate with three doubles, a home run and eight RBIs. Caleb also recorded the save in each of the games, pitching two scoreless innings while allowing just one baserunner.

Kristen Stewart Is Still Wearing Robert Pattinson's Sweaty Hat

Alright, it might be time for an intervention. While it's totally normal, post-breakup, to wear an item of your ex's clothing to keep them "close" to you, this really should not go on longer than a few weeks. It also shouldn't really occur in public because it just seems like a sort of desperate attempt prove you're dying to get back together. Seriously, Kristen, take off Robert's Orioles hat (dude isn't even from Baltimore, why is he such a fan?) and put it in a drawer -- along with his Irie T-shirt -- for safekeeping. Hopefully you'll get back together after he gets over this cheating business and you can wear them again. Although, please, perhaps give them a thorough washing?
