I've got cx bike(Centurion Cyclocross 4000) which I currently use only for commuting and riding long distances on a road. Is it possible to use some longreach caliper brakes on it (e.g. Shimano BR-650 or Tektro R538)?

I've just looked at the Centurion website and it's not clear from the pics or the German specs whether the frame and forks have caliper mounting holes. Look for a hole in the centre of the fork to take the caliper, and a corresponding one in the centre of the rear cross-brace above the wheel.
If those are there you can use caliper brakes of some kind, if you can get ones with the appropriate reach.
Bear in mind that you may also need to change the levers to pull a different amount of cable, or use some kind of adapter.

11 Movies Saved by Historical Inaccuracy
#8. Cold Mountain (2003)
The Flick: Jude Law, as Confederate soldier W.P. Inman, must find his way back to his love, Ada, while overcoming a deadly wilderness, the ravages of war and having to look at Renee Zellweger for an extended period of time.
The Inaccuracies: While Jude only deserts his unit after a disastrous battle, the real W.P. Inman was arrested twice for "cowardly desertion of his post." Also, as Inman starts his journey from a hospital in Raleigh, NC, which is about 250 miles east of Cold Mountain, it's somewhat puzzling that he manages to reach the Atlantic Ocean, roughly 400 miles out of his way, before getting home.
Why It Would Have Sucked Otherwise: Despite everything mentioned above, by far the most movie-saving historical inaccuracy in Cold Mountain has to be the fact that women of the 1800s rarely, if ever, shaved their legs. Take every romantic scene between Ada and Inman and add the rustling sound of a six-month crop of leg hair, and you'll understand what we're talking about here.
#7. Marie Antoinette (2006)
The Flick: Kirsten Dunst takes a break from being whiny and self-centered in modern-day Manhattan to be whiny and self-centered in 18th century France.
The Inaccuracies: One of the conflicts in the film centers around Marie and Louis' (Jason Schwartzman) difficulty in producing an heir. In the movie, Louis is afraid of sex. In reality, Louis had phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot be fully retracted. This was later fixed with an operation, and the couple did in fact conceive.
Why It Would Have Sucked Otherwise: The only thing we want to see less than Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst argue about his extra penis skin is footage of the operation in which this skin is removed with all the benefits of 18th century medical technology.
#6. Amadeus (1984)
The Flick: Mozart, the leather-pants rock star of the Classical era, farts and bangs noblewomen while composing magnificent music at the drop of a hat, all to the chagrin of rival Salieri, who spends so much of his time deviously plotting Mozart's demise it's hard not to imagine Snidely Whiplash in the role.
The Inaccuracies: Sure, Mozart was a man who enjoyed the occasional diarrhea joke, but by all accounts he was far from the filthy-minded, giggling simpleton depicted in the movie. Also, most historians agree that his relationship with Salieri was one of "friendly rivalry, marked by mutual respect and admiration." And though the movie hints that Salieri may have killed Mozart by poisoning him, the truth is Mozart probably drank himself to death on good old-fashioned booze.
Why It Would Have Sucked Otherwise: A movie about Mozart having a friendly rivalry with someone he respects and admires, then slowly drinking himself to death, would have been about as entertaining as home movies of me interacting with my father.

I'm working on Ext JS version 4.1 and same thing is happening with me as well.
When I don't make use of needle attribute, I get 2 slices in a Gauge chart in 2 different colors but when I specify needle attribute, entire Gauge chart gets changed to only one color.
Please see attached image.
Any assistance here please.

Needle is first element in colorset when turned on
I believe you just need to add a color to the colorset like so:
['black', 'yellow', '#ddd']
Now the needle will be black and the yellow and grey will be used for the gauge sectors.

BURGETTSTOWN, Pa. - Washington County officials are hoping an Oklahoma-based company's purchase of a 3.1-acre parcel at Starpointe Industrial Park near Florence will be a launchpad for regional development.
Mathena Inc. is paying $175,000 for a pad-ready site in the 147-acre Starpointe development, officials said.
Daniel Reitz, executive director of the Washington County Council on Economic Development, said the deal is evidence of "the appeal of Starpointe's condition and location to a wide range of commercial and industrial users."

NEW TENANT — Starpointe Industrial Park near Florence has landed another high-profile tenant, Oklahoma-based Mathena Inc., an oil and gas industry supplier. Mathena is paying $175,000 for a 3.1-acre parcel, where they're planning to build a 7,200-square-foot warehouse. The deal leaves just four parcels remaining to be filled in the original 147-acre development. - Linda Harris
Mathena, which supplies surface control equipment the oil and gas industry uses in the well-drilling and completion phases, plans to build a 7,200-square-foot building on the property, he said. The company is currently in the design/permitting phase, but Reitz said he anticipates starting construction in early spring. The building should be ready for occupancy by late 2012, with 10-15 workers initially, though Reitz said they expect that number to double in the near future.
Once the Mathena deal closes, the county will have only four sites remaining in Phase I at Starpointe.
"It's very important to us," Washington County Commissioner Lawrence O. Maggi said. "That area has been right on the verge of taking off, but because of a lot of the economic things going on it had (seemed) stagnant for some years. Now it's starting to move. It's close to the airport, and with the gas and oil industry moving in, it's becoming a prime place that a lot of companies will want to locate in."
Maggi said landing a company like Mathena "showcases the industrial park. It brings attention to it. Some other companies looking to move into the area and the region may take a second look at it," he said.
John R. Watson of Pittsburgh's Fourth River Development, Starpointe's marketing company, said there's a tremendous amount of interest in the property.
"A lot of people are looking at the park, it's a desirable location for oil and gas businesses," he said, citing the park's location. Located just off U.S. Route 22, Starpointe is minutes from the Pittsburgh International Airport and boasts easy access to West Virginia and Ohio as well.
"The intent was to create jobs, and it's playing out, which is good. Right now I'd say we're at a little over 150 jobs, almost 200," Watson said.
Maggi said they field numerous inquiries on an almost daily basis.
"We have a central location, and we try to do a one-stop shop here in Washington County," he said. "We have a database of all the properties we have, and when we get inquiries ..." we refer to the list. "Right now, we have a variety of sites we can give them - we have choices, we have places other than Starpointe."
In addition to Starpointe, the county can offer the high-profile and much-in-demand Southpointe I and II, located along I-79 in Cecil Township; Alta Vista, a 256-acre park off I-70 in Fallowfield Township; and the 138-acre California Technology Park in eastern Washington County. There's also the Donora Industrial Park, a 256-acre development in the borough of Donora; the 9-acre Maiden Business Park and 11-acre Detroit Street site in Washington; and Speers Park, an 80-acre site in the borough of Speers.
The county also is planning for Cool Valley, a 900-acre mixed used park near Southpointe.
All of which bodes well for the future, Maggi said, who pointed out that, with Starpointe's first phase nearly full, they've begun marketing Phase II - a little more than 200 acres, which would offer larger customized parcels aimed at companies that need extra space.
"What's worked well for us is that we've been able to market them well because we have that variety," Maggi said. "Every company has its own needs, but when they come in they want a place now, they want to move in immediately. They don't want to have to wait six months or a year, they want to get started now. So we have several areas they can look at, and each offers its own unique options and advantages."
Maggi said Washington County has been fortunate to have funding it can earmark for development-related projects.
"We're in a unique situation here," Maggi said. "We host a casino, so we get anywhere from $8 million to $12 million from gaming revenues. We're able to use those funds for infrastructure, the road work, to get sites ready. It's been a partnership between the public and private sector."

The problem I'm working on says:
A basketball player has been training for 112 hours during 12 days. He has trained an integer number of hours every day. Prove that there was two consecutive days where he has trained for at least 19 hours.
I'm following this rationale to try prove it:
As we are interested in two consecutive days we split the 12 days into 6 pairs: {1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}, {7,8}, {9,10}, {11, 12}
Using a corollary of the Pigeonhole principle we know that the sum of one the pairs is greater than 18, but not 19.
Does this mean that I can't prove it this way?

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): A Patient-Centered Guide
Please use for reference only.
Jason Lee, MD
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: August 21, 2002
Radiation therapy is an important treatment modality in the curative and palliative management of cancer patients. Advances in radiation therapy are occurring at both the biologic and physical level. One significant technological advance is intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT. This two-part article reviews the basic concepts of IMRT, steps involved in treatment planning, methods of IMRT delivery, and some clinical uses of IMRT.
Learning ObjectivesAfter reading this article, patients and students should be able to:
- Understand the treatment planning process for IMRT;
- Understand the methods of delivering IMRT; and
- Understand the clinical uses of IMRT.
IMRT Introduction: Part I
Concept of IMRT
Treatment planning in radiation oncology has undergone major evolution since the first therapeutic use of x-rays in the early 1900's. With a better understanding of cancer biology and normal tissue reactions as well as improved diagnostic imaging tools, radiation oncologists are better able to define the targets for treatment and deliver focused beams of radiation to those targets. One recent advance began with the introduction of CT scanners, as these images could be transferred to target planning computers where tumor volumes and normal tissues were defined for development of radiation beam arrangements. The process, known as "three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy" (3D-CRT), has proliferated as a method of giving higher tumor dose and minimizing effects on normal tissue.
The development of a treatment plan using 3D-CRT has been performed traditionally with a "forward planning" process, where beam arrangements were tested more or less by trial-and-error, until a satisfactory dose distribution was produced. For complex cases, this process can be very time-consuming because of the number of beam parameters that can be modified.
In contrast, IMRT relies on "inverse treatment planning" and non-uniform radiation exposures to optimize the dose distribution to the target. In inverse treatment planning, the radiation oncologist enters clinical parameters, such as desired dose to the target volume and dose-limits to normal organs, into the targeting computer, which then "back-calculates" from the desired dose-distribution and develops an optimal treatment plan to conform to those parameters (Figure 1). An IMRT targeting computer also adjusts the intensity of the radiation beam across the field, depending on whether the tumor or sensitive normal tissues lie in the beam path. The availability of inexpensive and powerful computing equipment has made the sophisticated optimization process practical and relatively automated. In addition, the advent of multileaf collimators (MLC) on modern linear accelerators has permitted the delivery of multiple and complex portal geometries necessary for IMRT. Multileaf collimators can move in and out of the beam portal under precise computer guidance while the radiation is on, thereby generating the desired nonuniform fluence (intensity) patterns that produce a uniform dose to the target.
Planning of IMRT
The planning process for IMRT involves several steps:
- position and immobilization,
- patient data acquisition,
- target and normal tissue definition,
- dose prescription and dose limits,
- beam optimization, and
- treatment plan evaluation.
Because IMRT delivers radiation in a precise fashion, patient positioning and immobilization are crucial elements in the planning process. Certain tumor sites, such as head and neck cancer, brain cancer, and prostate cancer, are well-suited for IMRT given their relatively stable position in relation to bony anatomy and close proximity to critical normal structures. New devices have been implemented for 3D-CRT and IMRT. For head and neck and brain cancers, special reinforced thermoplastic masks hold the patient within a few millimeters. For prostate cancer, some form of body immobilization either using thermoplastics or vacuum cast is implemented. In some centers, the prostate gland can be better localized using either a rectal balloon, transabdominal ultrasound, or intraprostatic radio-opaque markers.
Treatment planning for IMRT relies on CT images of the patient in treatment position. Fixed marks are placed on the patient or the immobilization device and lined up with lasers such that every point within the patient can be localized in three-dimensional space. In the next step, target volumes and normal tissue are outlined on the CT images by the radiation oncologist and dosimetrist. In IMRT, multiple targets can be specified, each with an unique dose prescription if necessary. One of the greatest strengths of IMRT is its ability to limit dose to normal tissues at risk for radiation damage. These organs commonly include the optic nerve and chiasm, brainstem, parotid glands, spinal cord, kidneys, rectum, bladder, femoral necks, and others depending on the location of the tumor. Figure 2 shows a CT slice of an intra-abdominal tumor and contours of target and normal tissues.
Once these volumes are defined, doses are prescribed to targets and dose-limits are assigned to normal tissues. There are a number of methods to specify dose parameters. One method is to assign a dose goal or dose limit to a structure, and a tissue weighting, which reflects the relative importance of constraining to the specified dose. Typically, the tumor and critical organs receive the highest weighting. In other treatment planning systems, the dose limits incorporate a volume constraint; i.e., the volume of the rectal wall receiving more than 70 Gy should be 40% or less. Following the specification of the dose criteria, the treatment planning computer performs an iterative search to develop an optimized beam configuration and intensity pattern. The dose criteria must be realistic, or the planning computer may fail to produce an acceptable plan. A number of optimization algorithms have been developed which work to minimize the deviation of the dose distribution from a proposed treatment plan from the desired dose distribution. Once the planning computer produces an optimized plan, a dose distribution is calculated and evaluated by the radiation oncologist. The dose distribution can be assessed subjectively by evaluating an isodose plot, or objectively by reviewing dose volume histograms. If the dose distribution could be improved, the radiation oncologist can modify the dose specifications to "tweak" the plan to his or her liking.
Delivery of IMRT
The delivery of IMRT has been facilitated by the introduction of MLCs. Instead of rectangular edges in the beam aperture of earlier linear accelerators, an MLC consists of narrow leaves which are under computer control and can form custom-shaped portals. During IMRT, the leaves may also slide during radiation exposure, thereby adjusting the intensity of one portion of the beam. The implementation of IMRT may be performed using two distinct methods: multiple fixed gantry positions or a rotation gantry.
With a fixed gantry technique, multiple beam angle and table configurations are chosen which should optimize radiation delivery. An example would be for prostate cancer, where beams commonly enter from anterior, LAO, LPO, RAO, and RPO directions. At each position, radiation delivery occurs through the appropriate portal shape and in an optimal fluence pattern. The fluence pattern can be adjusted by dynamic (moving) MLC, also known as a "sliding window" technique, or by delivering multiple "segments" of radiation at each gantry position. With the latter technique, the radiation intensity for each segment is constant, while the confluence of the multiple segments produce the modulated fluence profile.
With a rotation gantry technique, the gantry (linear accelerator treatment head) swings around the patient in an arc configuration while the radiation is on, and the field shape and intensity are continually modified. The first available IMRT system divided the target volume into thin slices, and treated each slice sequentially in one arc. After each arc, the patient is moved horizontally, and the next slice is treated; hence, the term "sequential arc" IMRT. The MLC in this system is a special hardware device that treats a relatively thin slit rather than a full field. Since linear accelerators are now equipped with full field MLC, this adaptation allows full field IMRT with a rotating gantry. Because the intensity pattern is often complex and may not be feasible with a single arc, the treatment can be divided into multiple arcs, with each arc treating a particular "segment" of the beam profile. This method is known as "intensity modulated arc therapy."
With any implementation of IMRT, new quality assurance measures are necessary to ensure that the intended dose distribution is, in fact, being delivered. Because of the complexity of the treatment, there is no practical method to verify the dose distributions with the patient in place. This generally requires a "trial run" in some sort of phantom, or container with radiation measuring devices. By exposing the phantom to a patient's set of beam, the actual measured radiation dose can be compared to the calculated dose for the phantom. In addition, the special hardware must undergo quality assurance; i.e. movement of MLCs and movement of the treatment couch.
IMRT Introduction: Part II
Clinical Applications of IMRT
The potential clinical applications of IMRT are broad and continue to expand. Many of the earlier studies have assessed whether IMRT treatment planning is feasible and compared the IMRT plans with conventional dose distributions. Clinical studies of IMRT on actual patients are now beginning to emerge since its first use in 1994.
1. Brain Tumors: IMRT has been used for intracranial tumors (both benign and malignant) and head and neck cancers. Brain lesions may be large, irregular, and solitary, or smaller and multiple; IMRT can address both situations. The dosimetry produced by sequential arc IMRT rivals that of stereotactic radiosurgery. A potential advantage to IMRT is its ability to limit dose to surrounding normal tissues, such as the optic nerve, chiasm, lens, and brainstem, thereby possibly minimizing radiation morbidity. Figure 3 demonstrated an isodose distribution for a suprasellar lesion, and shows the inward deviation of isodose curves near critical structures. 3D-CRT and IMRT are able to conform to tumor volumes, and has permitted delivery of higher radiation doses to tumor. Trials are underway which are investigating escalating doses to high-grade gliomas and increasing dose-intensity with accelerated fractionation.
Figure 3: Isodose plan for a suprasellar mass
Figure 4: Isodose plan for nasopharynx cancer
2. Head and Neck Cancer: Many of the technique issues for brain tumors also apply to head and neck cancer. There is also great interest in limiting dose to the parotid gland and thus preventing xerostomia, or permanent dry mouth, that occurs with typical head and neck radiotherapy. For example, in Figure 4, there is a cancer of the nasopharynx which has extended into the right oropharynx and upper neck nodes (highlighted in red). The concave shape tumor around the spinal cord is a typical challenge for radiation oncologists, but an ideal application for IMRT. The resultant IMRT plan is able to direct dose away from the spinal cord and contralateral parotid gland, while maintaining dose uniformity across the gross tumor and subclinical regions at risk (highlighted in purple). IMRT can potentially simplify treatment planning as there is no need for matching electron fields or multiple conedown simulations. In early clinical trials, patients have reported less dry mouth and shown greater salivary flow with parotid sparing techniques compared with conventional radiotherapy. As the results from clinical trials emerge, it will be important to ensure that the reduction in high-dose volume does not compromise tumor control.
3. Prostate Cancer: Radiation therapy has been a mainstay of localized prostate cancer therapy for several decades. Technological advances in treatment planning have permitted higher doses to the prostate and better shielding of the rectum and bladder. IMRT is particularly suited for dose escalation in prostate cancer, as this technique provides avoidance of rectum, bladder, and femoral necks to minimize potential morbidity. There is good rationale for dose escalation in prostate cancer, based on evidence from randomized trials from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and a phase I trial from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. By increasing dose from 70 to 78 Gy, intermediate-risk prostate cancers were more likely to be controlled. In addition, doses of 81 Gy resulted in a 7% positive biopsy rate compared with 45% or more with lower doses. Many centers with both 3D CRT and IMRT capabilities have adopted IMRT as the preferred treatment planning method for prostate cancer.
Limitations of IMRT
The implementation of IMRT can be a tedious task, even for radiation oncology facilities equipped with 3D-CRT. IMRT requires special hardware and physics expertise as well as some amount of re-training for radiation therapists. Some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of IMRT are shown in the table below. With greater experience, it is possible for IMRT to become a very efficient treatment technique. Because of its recent introduction to clinical radiation oncology, many more years of study will be necessary to determine the true therapeutic impact of IMRT on tumor control, toxicity, and patient survival.
| Conformal dose distribution around tumor
Avoidance of critical structures and less local toxicity
Computer-generated optimization
| Equipment costs higher
Special immobilization required
Treatment time often longer
Additional quality assurance necessary
Learning curve can be steep

3 Great Reasons To Have Gratitude On Your Cancer Teamby Marlys Johnson

Any recommendations for an indoor (stationary) bicycle?
My ancient exercise bike died & must be replaced. I should have replaced it months ago but delayed while I considered an elliptical machine (and gained 20 pounds). I've decided on another bike.
My girlfriend has a Schwinn Airdyne & is happy. She listens to music via earbuds, so the bike's noise isn't an issue. I like the arm involvement.
My carrot is TV but I don't want the neighbors to have to hear it as well. The old bike was loud and I used to use headphones but due to sweat issues I'd rather not. Earbuds are not comfortable. Also, the Schwinn is not cheap & money is tight with daughters in school for next seven years.
I've done quite a bit of research on elliptical machines but almost none on stationary bicycles, at least not yet.
So, any suggestions? Personal recommendations? Things to look for or things to avoid?
Thanks. (BTW- a gym membership or other outside-the-home-solution isn't an option.)
16 Answers answer
I've been considering this Schwinn recumbent for a couple months.
Reviews are pretty good about noise and usefulness, price isn't too bad.
I have a nice Trek mountain bike I used to love to ride, but my wrists take too much of a beating anymore.
Thanks. I really wasn't considering a recumbent due to the lack of arm involvement, but now that I'm thinking about it, the main thing I need is the leg workout. Besides, I can probably get a better upper body workout with weights and/or push ups.
The reviews are mostly good on that one (well, except for the fan, which is universally hated, appatrently).
we bought this bike a few years ago and love it:
it's fairly quiet (have to bump the volume on the TV a couple notches) and gets the job done. the only thing i don't like about it is max resistance is a little low. but, i usually just bike for a few more minutes to make up the difference. if you go with this one, look around for a better price. we bought ours about 3 years ago and paid around $130 with free shipping.
Whatever you settle on, try to wait until January or February and get it on Craigslist- cheap. This is after the 'resolution' has worn thin or off and it's in the way.
Personally, I went a different direction- Gazelle Freestyle Elite(not the $100 one in Walmart, one with the resistance cylinders you can adjust). Again, $400 new, Craigslist(almost unused) for $75. Not noisy and doesn't destroy my knees. You won't build bulk, but it will get your behind toned IF you're religious about it.
@havocsback has a good point about getting 'em used - but the dates aren't necessary (plus in Jan/Feb the resolver's are still in "I'll do it tomorrow" mode..they haven't yet accepted defeat)
Yard sales too...still warm enough that they're going on and this is the perfect time of year to get exercise equipment. Just like the New Years Res., summer's over and people aren't so concerned with "getting in shape for summer."
Picked up a really nice, like-new, recumbent bike last year...name brand too, can't remember if it was a Nordic Track or a Bowflex
Also, as for my personal preference...I like to work out as many areas at the same time as possible - so you might try to lean towards something with some kinda upper-body/arm feature.. totally preference though.
Might look into some ankle/wrist weights too :D - even a small amount of weight has an impact if your doing endless reps..
Do you already own a regular bicycle? You might want to consider getting an indoor trainer for it. Then you have a bicycle that you are comfortable on, and the only additional space occupied in your house is the trainer itself - many of which fold down nicely to take up very little space.
You can pick up a basic indoor trainer for under $100 at many places. I'd highly recommend it.
@lparsons42: I came here to suggest the same thing. A stationary trainer for your existing bike is a great way to go. There are two basic types. The first is the A-frame type that clamps on to the rear of your bike and has a roller for your rear tire. This is the easiest type as your bike is fixed in the upright position. The front tire just sits there and doesn't spin. The 2nd is the double roller type. This is a flat frame with two pairs of rollers connected by a belt, both wheels spin. This simulates riding a bike as opposed to just pedaling a bike because you have to maintain balance and direction, the same as riding a bike outdoors. The A-frames are cheaper and easier, but the rollers will keep you more mentally engaged, and will work your core better .
Also, if you go with a stationary trainer (either style) and your existing bike has knobby tires, you will want to swap them with smooth road tires when using your trainer. It will cut down on noise a bunch. For the A-frame you only need to change the rear, for the double-rollers you would want to change both.
Thanks. I was looking into indoor trainers right after my old stationary bike died, but got distracted by a deal on an elliptical machine and never went back to them.
Many, many years ago a friend gave me a fan one; the frame was the length of the bike and had a support that replaced the front quick-release wheel while the rear tire ran on the axle of the fan. (No idea the brand & it was left behind when my ex-wife got the house.)
A roller trainer will require more mental concentration than I will have available most of the time (early AM, pre-coffee, while watching TV... a guaranteed way to put tire marks on the basement & do at least minor damage to my body).
Besides, the main problem with an indoor trainer in my case is having to schlep my bike down a narrow hallway, around a tight turn, down the basement stairs, and then another tight turn, reversing this to get out. Doable but not worth the hassle to save the extra cost of an indoor bike.
Thanks. I'll read the reviews for that one a bit later.
I'm still not sure I'm willing to settle for a recumbent, as I was talking to a friend about it at work today and he agrees with my initial feeling that I'd be better with a bike that involves the arms since this will be the only machine I'm getting (at least initially).
Hmmm... not sure about that Gazelle... Can it cope with a guy who weighs 270-280 lbs?
As for waiting until the Spring... I'll be 300 lbs by then if I don't get something that I'll actually use until then (provided my doctor and/or nutritionist don't kill me first). I really don't want to wait until then.
However, Craigslist is certainly a good idea. Thanks.
I had a Road-something (maybe Roadmaster) that also worked the arms and I liked that... I think I'm going to stick with something that involves my arms.
(Kind of get up, drink some water, pick something to watch from the night before or whatever, and just start riding... I know that once I get back into the habit of doing it and lose maybe ten pounds, I'll feel so much better and then I'll start looking forward to doing it.)
@baqui63: I checked our paperwork, and the Freestyle Elite was rated @ 300. The newer models, like the lil' lightweight in Walmart I mentioned is more like 225. Heck, even check now, a quick check of the local CL brought up over a dozen, only 1 Elite, and it was $100(which means $60 or less, if they haven't thrown it to the curb).
Well, it could handle me... just not sure if I could handle it. (If what's his name was a fat balding dude, or I was maybe 10 years younger or already in better shape, maybe, but somehow I see myself regretting getting it as I lay in the ER moaning...)
BTW- I ended up getting a barely used Life Cycle C3. It is about seven to ten years old (not the current model or the one before that), but it was totally free and in mint condition.
Came from a neighbor cleaning out his parent's house after his mother died. He didn't want anything, though I gave him a couple of very nice bottles of wine I got on wine.woot.
Thanks again for everyone's input.

BETHANY - Members of Bethany Council on Wednesday approved the acquisition of land for its wastewater treatment system, but were split over support of an effort aimed at reducing feral cats in the town.
Council unanimously approved a four-year lease of six acres belonging to Bethany College and near the town's wastewater treatment facility.
The lease calls for the town to pay $100 per year for four years for use of the property, on which the town may spray treated wastewater if a drought should result in Buffalo Creek being unusually low.
Article Photos
GRANT CONFIRMED — Del. Phil Diserio, D-Brooke, presented to Bethany Council confirmation of a Governor's Community Partnership Grant of $3,500 for a "Welcome to Bethany" sign to be built near state Routes 67 and 88. On hand for the presentation were, from left, Bethany Council members Helen Moren, Linda Chivers and Ted Pauls, Mayor Jay Eisenhauer, Diserio and Councilmen Gray Williamson and Pat Sutherland. - Warren Scott
The practice of discharging treated wastewater into rivers and creeks isn't uncommon and is regulated by federal and state environmental agencies.
Mayor Jay Eisenhauer explained the town is permitted by the state Department of Environmental Protection to discharge a certain level of treated wastewater into the creek. It may not do that if the creek is low, so the land agreement enables the town to dispose of the water elsewhere if needed.
He said the town's sanitation board also has approved the lease.
Council also agreed to allot up to $300 for efforts to reduce feral cats by trapping the felines, spaying or neutering them, vaccinating them against rabies and re-releasing them into the community.
The project was proposed by Councilwoman Linda Chivers and resident Zoe McWilliams, who said altering the cats will reduce the number of strays since they won't be able to reproduce.
McWilliams said an effort will be made to find homes for recent strays and kittens and to relocate feral cats to area farms to further reduce the population.
Chivers said it's important to return some feral cats to the community because they are territorial and will discourage new cats from circulating in the town.
McWilliams had asked for $2,000, saying it costs about $50 to alter a female cat and $25 to alter a male.
Eisenhauer suggested council allot a smaller amount, pursuing the effort on a trial basis.
Chivers said the cats' ears are clipped before being re-released so they can be identified.
Councilmen Pat Sutherland and Gray Williamson sided with Chivers in supporting the effort, while council members Ted Pauls and Helen Moren abstained.
Pauls asked if the cats have become an issue because they are being dumped there or because they are encouraged to congregate there by residents who feed them.
Moren noted Wellsburg Council, in addressing feral cats, recently adopted a provision calling for residents who feed cats to be held responsible for them and fined for violating an ordinance.
In his motion for the allocation, Sutherland suggested council discourage residents from feeding the cats. But Chivers said she will feed cats that live near her home because it's inhumane not to and it's her concern for the felines that led to the proposal.
Eisenhauer said the proposed solution isn't a perfect one but council can't ignore the problem.
"I think doing nothing is not the answer longterm. Somewhere down the road we'll have to do something," he said prior to the vote.
The mayor said similar concerns about wild animals spreading disease led to the town hiring a person to collect about 50 raccoons this spring. The effort was approved by the state Division of Natural Resources and cost the town about $100.
In other business, council:
Received confirmation from state Del. Phil Diserio, D-Brooke, of a $3,500 Governor's Community Partnership Grant for a Welcome to Bethany sign. Diserio said state Del. Roy Givens, D-Brooke, applied for the grant.
Eisenhauer said the sign will be built near the intersection of state Routes 88 and 67 and Bethany College's Mountainside Conference Center. He said town officials will work with Aladdin Signs of Beech Bottom to develop a design.
Agreed to provide $143 to consultant Lou Stein of Wheeling for miles driven to Bethany to work with the town's Main Street revitalization committee to develop a marketing plan for economic development.
Sutherland, who chairs the committee, said Stein has withdrawn from the project, saying responsibilities with his other position prevent him from pursuing it, and has indicated he won't accept anything for his services to date. But Sutherland suggested Stein should receive mileage for 10 trips he made to Bethany, based on the town's mileage rate of 55 cents per mile.
He added the committee is considering pursuing the plan with another individual's help at its Nov. 27 meeting.

The end of the year is fast approaching which of course means all Hollywood is racing to make the December deadline for next year�s Academy Award nominations. While the new films are waiting to be judged, we�re taking a look back at years gone by and, with some expert help from our friends at the site CasinoMagasinet, are bringing you the top 10 casino themed movies ever.
So if, once the turkey has been eaten and the new gadgets have lost their initial novelty, you want to get away from the happy family gathering for a while, why not take a look at the list below and spend some fun hours with these casino classics.
10: Often overlooked because of its one � unforgivable� flaw � it�s set in RENO!!! � a great homage to the heyday of film noir, HARD EIGHT may be dark and depressing, but it�s genuine take on the casino world is delivered magnificently through stellar performances by Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
9: Again not a classic casino film, but a welcome change after stuffy family meetings and hours in ugly, scratchy Christmas sweaters: SHOWGIRLS might just turn your (Christmas) day around.
8: If it�s family fun you are looking for this Christmas, VEGAS VACATION, National Lampoon�s fourth installment of the Griswold family�s life on film, ticks all the boxes. Just make sure you don�t ask for the rock-paper-scissors table, next time you�re in a casino!
7: For all of those that think (or know someone who thinks) ZZ Top�s recording of VIVA LAS VEGAS is actually the original version, the Elvis Presley classic by the same name is mandatory viewing. Motor racing, gambling, 1960ies pool girls and the city�s unofficial anthem make for perfect entertainment.
6: No list of casino films is complete without �the one in which the math geek thinks he can beat the bank� and 21 is the one we picked. Based on a true story, this MIT vs. Las Vegas bout is a fight you don�t want to miss!
5: A feast for the visually inclined cineaste takes our No. 5 spot. Terry Gilliam, of Monty Python fame, takes you on a truly strange ride in his brilliantly dark comedy FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. It�s got Johnny Depp and every single drug known to man, so what�s not to like?
4: If the overused phrase �an instant classic� can be genuinely attributed to any comedy of the last decade, THE HANGOVER is it! Every guy�s dream bachelor party turning into everybody�s nightmare and then miraculously back to something you can�t wait to go and do yourself�Simply genius!
3: If you put Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro into a box and shake it, the result is usually one to watch, but never more so than in this collaboration: In CASINO from 1995 Scorsese gives a grim but highly realistic account of Las Vegas in its early days. But don�t despair; Sharon Stone is in it to light the dark!
2: Rarely is there as little dispute amongst movie lovers as to what the best film of any genre is as when it comes to poker movies. ROUNDERS is the best film about poker � full stop. Now if you are watching this with your wife you might have to endure some comments about how Matt Damon looks a lot hotter now than he did then, but both Damon�s and Edward Norton�s performances are superb and the script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien is unrivaled.
1: Now we have been fighting quite a bit about which films make our list and which position they should claim between numbers 10 and 2. But the top spot was never disputed. Every single film buff here agrees that it can be no other than OCEAN�S ELEVEN! Note though that we are not talking about George Clooney and his merry man! It�s Mr. Sinatra, Martin, Lawford, Davis jr., Bishop & co. we�ve lost our hearts to! It features the Who�s Who of 1960s Hollywood with Shirley MacLaine and Angie Dickinson for eye candy. A classic if ever there was one!
As much as we are sure that these 10 movies will see you safely through the holidays, should you need extra helpings, there�s always acclaimed and highly entertaining NBC television series LAS VEGAS starring the enigmatic James Caan and fashion-model-turned-actor Josh Duhamel. There are 105 episodes spread over 5 seasons waiting to be watched. So by the time you are done with that the children will be back at school and the in-laws back out of town. So from all of us here as well as our friends at CasinoMagasinet, have a very merry Christmas!

Before posting in this thread please take the time to read the following thread which includes the changelist among other things:
Hurrah, an update! \o/
About time
This makes me very happy.
Yes, been waiting for this for at least 20 hours!
Congratulations SI on another solid FM cycle. Keep up the Great Work Gents!
Someone at SI, is there any changes to the ME? I have a very well working tactic at the moment on 12.1.1 and I am that happy with it I am sceptical about downloading the recent update.
It may only be a day earlier than last year, but I expected it to be later than last year, so well done SI! Now let's see if it's any good.
EDIT: Actually, as it's a leap year, does that mean it's technically taken them the same amount of time?
Just checking - is this the last update now or will there be another? It's about now I actually buy the game...
No match engine changes, i'm saddened!
is it on steam yet?
I am in the same boat re the ME. There was very little change (other than AI corners and stopping the DM heading the ball over the oppo defence for clear one on ones. AFAIK).
I think it's better this way, rather than have to redesign a new tactic after every patch, the ME should only be changed every version, unless there is very obvious bug.
When I go to load the game, it doesn't download anything. I've got it set to automatically update. Is it not on Steam yet?
Hazzah, finally! *dances*
"I am pleased to announce the release of the Football Manager 2012 January Transfer Update. The update will be rolling out via Steam within the next couple of hours."
Quick question, as I've used the editor to change all the competition names to their real ones for the last patch, will I have to go back and do it all again for the new database, or can I use the same editor file when starting a new game?
Oh my god oh my god oh my god!!! But why tonight of all nights?! I have a presentation to prepare for tomorrow! I insist SI delay the release of the patch
thank you SI!
Thanks alot. Although we did not purchase anyone, Always good to keep the game up to date.
I knew it was going to come today... I have been refreshing the forum for a thousand times today. Splendid! I'm off to tell my FM11 squad goodbye while downloading the update and then I will start a new savegame with my edited database and watch Barca-Leverkusen while eating crisps. What an evening! Thanks SI
Nice one SI. Sorry for cursing your name in the last couple of days.
Now it's time to wait for Steam to update and we're off.
nice suprise this can wait too start my long career game hopfully i dont come across any crash dumps or runtime errors
Yeah, I know, but I've been doing it since last week of February.
I'm impatient, what can I say? Well, its all in the past now, right?
what is it now?- Adjusted the age limit for being a candidate to tutor another player.
got to work at 7 and its not looking like it out for me to download yet.. damn it!
hey guys steam has updated my game but when I start it still says 12.1.1 and I have no January updates, does anybody know what the problem could be?
Its not out for a few hours mate just sit tight and Id reccomend checking every hour.
Just wondering, if Rangers are in administration. If I don't have the Scottish leagues loaded, will I still beable to get their players cheap?
Is the England and Chelsea jobs available
There was a league-specific issue where Turkish top division wins weren't counted after the first season. Has this bug been fixed?
Thank you.
This is probably a dumb question, but are player's CA/PA adjusted in the January transfer update?
why their's no ME changes i'm disappointed
Anyone got this download yet? As im still using 12.1.1
"I am pleased to announce the release of the Football Manager 2012 January Transfer Update. The update will be rolling out via Steam within the next couple of hours."
Please don't turn this into a thread of "are we there yet?" posts.
Potentially Stupid Question: Anyone know how to check which version of the editor you're using?
I usually wait until this point to get the next version of FM and then play it for a year until the next update, etc etc. So looking forward to this
Will you offer an alternative link to download this rather than just through steam? Haven't purchased the game yet but I tend to buy games in their physical form rather than digital.
will there be a list of the transfers that didnt make the january update.
Is it me or dose the alan wake guy in the steam game list look like mikel arteta
I cant get it to update any 1 know how i can. i've not had this problem before. I restarted my computer several times still no update is there a box version i could download?
any reason why steam is not updating my game??!!
and yes, the game is set to au
to update
have also verified the cache to no avail
Would it be worth putting in big red letters, the new update isn't out yet, it will be later?
If you read the post it tells you that the update will be downloading sometime over the next few hours.
Starting to think it would have been wiser to not post about the patch until it had been confirmed it was downloading form the Steam servers, anyone care to give odds on this thread being closed soon?
If I leave my PC on with the Steam program running will it update automatically when it is out or will I need to click play in order to get the update?
Just be patient folks, it has to populate all the Steam servers so will be a while for some while others will be quicker.
Has the Rangers situation been added?
In the thread it also says this
It's basically, as others have said a waiting game.Again as with previous updates, you may already have already noticed Steam updating your game automatically (depending on your Steam settings) and once complete you will be running the latest version of the game.
they said at 14:56 that the update would be out within 2 hours, that is 16:56, so it is late to be fair, I can wait though, just thought with the annoncement and other fm sites speaking of the update being out, it would actually be out
Curious what sort of financial backing Monaco have?
i opened steam but i haven't any updates yet
People with no original copy of FM are already having the new patch, and we who actually bought the game don't.
fair dooz, speaking from experience, steam, steam can take its time with these things, good to know its coming though, hoping it fixes my epic game I have going, which had the runtime error bug
if not, new game
The lack of patience from some people is laughable. Get a grip, they don't have to do updates, so just be thankful that they do.
Cheers for the update SI, very happy with a few of the things in the change list.
Looking forward to this although don't understand why people complain, waiting a couple of hours is nothing so just chill out.
Finally Crewe here I come. Although due to my lack or reading skills I've just gone mad in the Blackburn thread for someone selling Ollson to realisouit was Marcus not Martin. Thanks SI

PET Scan in Lung Cancer Follow-up
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 8, 2013
Can you address the use of PET scans for follow up after surgery?
Charles B. Simone II, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine, responds:
There are no recommendations that are widely agreed upon for how to follow patients once they have completed therapy for lung cancer. The options are to use chest x-rays, CT scans, or CT-PET scans. Most physicians treating lung cancers will follow patients more closely (every 3-6 months) for the first 2 years after treatment, when they are at the highest risk for recurrence, but patients will often continue to be followed with life-long annual surveillance thereafter. CT scans are more sensitive for detecting a recurrence or new cancer than chest x-rays. Most guidelines and experts recommend surveillance with CT scans and not PET or PET/CT scans. PET/CT scans, however, can be used to evaluate any abnormality that may be revealed by the CT scan.

D'Addario EXP16 Phosphor Bronze Light - Acoustic Guitar Strings for $9.99
Long life (coated) acoustic guitar strings that would go great on the beginner acoustic guitar I posted. Don't change your strings every month or two if you don't have to!
2 Comments add a comment
I use these strings myself, they sound and feel great. $9.99 is good, but if you buy bulk from eBay, the prices can be a bit better. Usually between $7-9 a pack the more you buy.
On the coated ones? These are usually $12-15 per pack in stores. $9.99 is a good price in my experience for these, but the uncoated ones are more like $7-9 in stores and I'm sure could be cheaper in bulk.

So, What are GMOs and how do we avoid them?
The term GM foods or GMOs (genetically-modified organisms) is most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest molecular biology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. GMOs are NOT considered safe for consumption.
To avoid GMOs, look for the Non-GMO Project Verified seal and the USDA Organic seal on the label. Also, make sure to avoid the 9 genetically modified foods currently on the market. These include corn, canola, cottonseed, soybeans, sugar beets, alfalfa, papaya (from Hawaii only), and some zucchini and yellow squash.
What are the perks of buying non-GMO foods?
First of all, you know you will be eating clean and unadulterated food! You will also protect the environment. GM seeds can contaminate organic and non-GMC crops, and once released into the wild, they can't be recalled. Furthermore, the majorities of GM foods are modified to be herbicide resistant and are sprayed with higher amounts of herbicides that pollute water and harm plants and wild life. You will also be protecting your health! Animal studies indicate that there may be health risks for consuming GM foods, including immune system and gastrointestinal problems. In humans, the rates of a number of conditions- including allergies and inflammatory bowel disease- have risen with the introduction of GM foods.
This month, look out for non-GMO featured products and specials at natural food stores! Non-GMO Month was created by the Non-GMO Project in 2010 as a platform for raising awareness on the GMO issue. Last year, nearly 1,000 natural food stores throughout the United States and Canada took part. For additional information, check out nongmomonth.org.
Have a Happy & Healthy October!

What began as a small music festival in the hills of Eastern Ohio in the mid-1970s has evolved into one of the premiere stops on the country music circuit.
Jamboree in the Hills opens its four-day run Thursday in Morristown. It's an annual event that attracts tens of thousands of music fans from across the United States and Canada to Eastern Ohio.
It's big entertainment, and big business, with fans of all ages and from all backgrounds all dressed down in cut-off shorts, T-shirts and tank tops, enjoying a cold beverage as they sit back and listen to the music of today's top country acts.
Area businesses get a boost from the more than 100,000 fans who will participate in the event. Hotel rooms are hot commodities in our region, and businesses from restaurants to convenience stores to department stores to gasoline stations can expect to see added traffic.
All of that's important, but Jamboree in the Hills remains all about the music, and that's what continues to make it work. For an event to remain a success for more than 30 years, it has to be willing to evolve. The 1977 lineup, for example, featured country standards Tom T. Hall, Charlie Rich and Barbara Mandrell, as well as music icon Johnny Cash. This year's lineup will include local favorites Joe Zelek and Ron Retzer as well as the Charlie Daniels Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lorrie Morgan, Neal McCoy and Rascal Flats.
Other outdoor country music festivals have come and gone since the mid-1970s, but Jamboree in the Hills continues to thrive, and that's a testament to the music - and the fans.
The four-day event has become a summer tradition, one that's good for those who appreciate contemporary country music and good for the region's economy.

Do you want to maximize your performance and fulfillment in life?
We live in turbulent times. The complexity of our daily lives is ever-increasing, doing more with less; we race through our days with little time for reflection on who we are, who we aspire to be or where we are going. In our 24/7 global economy, there seems to be no end to the work. In response to this daunting reality, we sometimes find ourselves or most our members sleep-deprived, skipping meals, eating unhealthy foods, moving less, and paying little attention to our close relationships. Exhausted, overwhelmed, scattered and disengaged often characterize our day-to-day lives.
We think the solution is better time management. If we manage our time better, we can get more things done. Let's think again. Time is a limited resource and we place unlimited demands on it. These infinite demands cost energy. Unlike "time," "energy" is an unlimited resource, but only if we can learn how to build it, manage it and mobilize it effectively. When we optimize the quantity, quality and utilization of our multi-dimensional energy, we are VITAL- resulting in full engagement, sustained high performance and fulfillment in our lives and in our teachings.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT VITALITY! Vitality comes from four main wellsprings in human beings: the body, mind, emotions and spirit. In each wellspring, vitality can be depleted by energy-depleting behaviors resulting in a "vitality crisis" or vitality can be expanded and regularly renewed by establishing energy-renewing behaviors.
Vitality is multi-dimensional and requires skillful management of in all dimensions: physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually.
These four main wellsprings of health are inter-related and are insufficient independent of one another, thus deficits in one area will not only affect your overall vitality (energy) level, but will impact the quality of energy in the other dimensions.
To maintain optimal vitality, we must learn to respect our physiological rhythm; and therefore, balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal; otherwise known as recovery from whatever challenges we are faced with.
How can you be a vital example to those you inspire in all areas of your life?

I'm interested in an techniques for preparing courgettes? I cook mine either in a stew or I lightly fry them until brown. Are there any techniques to prepare the vegetable before cooking in either in these styles.
When they're still young, I grill them --
As they get older, the seed cavity starts developing -- you can cut the sides off, leaving the middle, but it's just not as sweet.
To prepare the vegetable before cooking it, it's advisable to "leach" out some of the bitterness. Even if the eggplant is not particularly bitter, if you are using it in a dish in which you want minimal additional moisture, you'll want to prepare it this way.
Slice your eggplant into discs (of desired thickness), and sprinkle salt over all the slices. Leave them to sit for a while (20-30 minutes?) and then use paper towels to absorb the moisture that comes out.
I will typically stack up the eggplant slices with paper towels in between and place something heavy on top.
You can do nice things with shredded zucchini. Cut in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon, then shred on a grater or using a vegetable shredder.
From there, you can saute with some shredded onion and a little olive oil (adding a tiny bit of curry powder can really jazz this up).
Or you can make a sort of fritter/pancake. I can't tell you the exact technique, but the idea is to mix some shredded zucchini and finely chopped or shredded onion with a little flour and egg binder, then you can fry them up crispy and golden in a pan. For this one, if the zucchini is really juicy you might want to get some of the juice out first (wrap in a tea towel and wring it, or salt it and put it in a colander to drain).
Depending on their size you can roast and stuff them. We've made a variety of fillings using cooked mushrooms, breadcrumbs, soft cheeses, and herbs (no fixed recipe here, we just try what seems like a good idea).
We usually slice them in half (lengthwise), and carve out the middle. Roast the zuccini on a baking sheet in the over at 400 until it starts to soften up (just a little), and prepare the filling. Add the filling and return to the oven until everything is heated through.
I fry them in olive oil. They respond really well to high heat, browning up nicely. Usually just eat them with garlic and black pepper, but you can use this as a basis for a pasta topping: fry zuchini with onions in olive oil(brown well), add garlic, add tomatoes, mushrooms, reduce and stew briefly, add herbs (marjoram, basil, ...), and finish with artichoke hearts. Toss it on pasta, add some feta or parmesan.
We like to use them in ratatouille; they combine well with things like yellow squash, eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc and the traditional ratatouille spices.
My mother-in-law's method (if you want to eat them as a salad-type side dish):
Serve cold.

Looking for a good C programmer
By David Clack on Mar 28, 2010
Hi All,
So I'm going to tell you a secret, I'm not very good at C programming :-)
I'm trying to get the Ubuntu evtouch touchscreen driver and calibration utility to build and run on B134.
Does anyone want to volunteer to take a look at the problem ?
I can post the source code on my FTP site, or give ssh access to the multi touch netbook.
Let me know if anyone wants to take a shot at it.

Do you believe that some grace does exist within Roman Catholicism and that our miracles are true?
Hi and welcome from a newbie too!I am very sceptical when it comes to political revelations, such as Fatima, no matter catholic or not.Mary saying about the ultimate Wrath of God? God, anger? Do we believe in the same God? Mary saing she has managed to hold down God's Wrath to give a chance for Russia to redeem? God, holded down? Do we really believe in the same God? Mary scaring everyone with God's Anger? Mary, scarying? Do we really believe in the same Mary?I'm not talking about the Catholic faith, but about such revelations.
Uh oh...this isn't going to turn into one of "those" threads, is it ? Or a Bible-study thread?
As one of my Orthodox firends said "Orthodoxy is the best way to the salvation. Catholics can achieve it, but it is harder - the way for them is more tortuous".
"I THINK that the Vatican has a 'valid' Eucharist. I KNOW that the Orthodox have the Eucharist."
Well, I do like Guadalupe, but Fatima and Lourdes I have always had issues with. Although, I find Bernadette of Lourdes very charming.

When I go into Canon Photo Professional and change the dpi output to 300 or 350, do I also need to go down to resize setting and change those? The vinyl banner will be 48x108 with the photo being about 24x36. The shop tells me I need a photo of 300 dpi or higher but every picture I try to get info on from my computer says 72 dpi from my Canon Rebel XSI, yet my cheap Kodak point and shoot says 480 dpi. I am so confused. Can I take a picture with my 85mm lens, indoors, without flash and a bumped up ISO and get the 300 dpi they need for the banner? Or change the 72 dpi to 300? I know Canon Photo Professional will change the dpi but.... what will the blown-up pic look like?
The DPI setting coming out of the camera doesn't mean much (if anything). You have a fixed number of pixels coming out of the camera (4272 x 2848, to be exact). Since you're enlarging it quite a bit, you probably want to shoot in raw format to ensure you get everything that camera can produce.
Once you've done that, you might want to "upres" the picture to fit what the printer has asked for. In this case, that'll be a resolution of 10800x7200 pixels, which means more than doubling the resolution in each dimension.
There are several ways to do that. There are some programs written specifically for that kind of task (e.g., Perfect Resize). You can also do this in Photoshop using `Image -> Image Size". There are tricks you might try using in Photoshop to see if they improve your results (but do look around -- different methods work better for different subject matter).
Once you're done, the picture shouldn't look drastically different on screen, though when/if you zoom in to 100% at the increased resolution, you can expect that it won't look particularly sharp -- a bit better than if you just zoom in to 250-300% on screen, but (honestly) not a whole lot. At the same time, it's a fair guess that people will generally be looking at a 48x108 banner from a fair distance away, not up nearly as close as most of us look at our monitors.
Given this level of enlargement, however, you do want to be as careful as possible to ensure the picture is sharp -- you probably do want to use either flash or a tripod (or both), especially shooting indoors (where the light is usually relatively dim). You probably also want to set your aperture to about 2 stops below the maximum for the lens to get the best performance it can provide.
If your subject is something that stays perfectly still, you could also consider shooting a number of overlapping pictures of parts of the subject, and stitching the pictures together. Photoshop can do this, and there are also tools specifically for the job such as Hugin and Microsoft ICE. These can give you a picture close to (or even greater than) the overall target resolution (but as I said above, this probably isn't a major problem).
Your confusion is understandable because the DPI in the photo is meaningless. It does not make any sense to speak about DPI without something that can be measured (like a print) but the cameras have to put something in there, so most put 72 and a few ones let you specify a different value.
To get the DPI of something divide the number of pixels by the size you want it printed on in each direction. Conversely multiply the size of the print (36"x24") by the requested DPI (300) to get the resolution you need (10800 x 7200) pixels in your case.
This short article explains this in details and has a calculator where you can input two of DPI, resolution and size and it calculates the missing one.
Its a fairly simple method and doesn't hurt much. I have been trying this for last few days and I love it =)
Your camera will record a certain number of pixels, which is a fixed number based on the sensor. Let's say it's 3000 pixels by 4000 pixels = 12 megapixels.
A computer screen typically has a standard of 72 dpi (dots per inch), so if you want to show the image at 100% on the screen, at 72 pixels per inch it will be 4000 divided by 72 = 59 inches wide.
Printers can place the dots/pixels much closer together, and if you don't do this, you can see "pixelation". So at 300 dpi, that's only 4000 / 300 = 13 inches.
With an image editor like photoshop you can increase the image size by interpolating pixels, and you can preview what it might look like when printed (or print off a small section as a test). As long as you're not viewing too close it usually looks fine in my experience. It depends on the subject matter and the viewing distance to the photo/banner.

Mark Scarmardo, owner of The Farm Patch says there are two reasons for his success...his customers and his family. But he points out that if his parents hadn't taught him about life and hard work, he wouldn't be the success that he is.
"I give a lot of credit to my mother and my dad for staying with us and try to teach us some values and teach us a work ethic. When we were young, we learned to work. My dad taught us early to work to try to sell vegetables, but we didn't have a lot of things. There was four boys and we lived in the same bedroom," says Scarmardo.
Besides having three brothers, Mark Scarmardo also has two sisters and while they may have learned about hard work from their father, it was their mother who taught them about family.
Mark's mother, Jo-Be Scarmardo says, "We've been a close knit family. I know that God has blessed our family."
And that closeness has been rewarded because for close to 40 years, the fruits of his labor have blessed him with having a successful and thriving business.
Scarmardo says, "When we started we were raising vegetables. We were raising okra and we had to go sell it so we'd go to Houston, we'd go to Milano where they had a big fruit stand and try to sell it and if we didn't sell it, we brought it back, we didn't have any money. An old Greek told me once that his grandfather said and I always remember it, I think it's really good. He said, Mark, he had an accent. He said, Mark, get a one stick, break it. He gave me a stick and I broke it. He said now put five sticks together, try to break and he put five sticks and I couldn't break it. He said remember, together you cannot break, you're strong and so, I remember that. Even in your family, if you stick together, you're gonna be a stronger entity."
When most people measure success in dollars, Mark's happiness comes from seeing his fruits and vegetables fill others with joy.
"When my daughter was going to get married, since we're in the produce business, we thought it would be very neat to have produce with flowers. She liked white so we had white cauliflower and white roses and we just tried to tie it in." says Scarmardo.
While his love for family is important, there's something else Mark Scarmardo never forgets.
Scarmardo says, "My main concern when a customer comes in is to make them happy. Then, you worry about making your profit and a lot of times people have it flip-flopped. They worry about their money and they don't worry about the customer and I've always said, if you don't have the customer, you don't have to worry about the money because it's not going to be there."
After years of being in the produce business, Mark's customers keep coming back and as for his family, they continue to grow stronger and closer.

If I find a MP3 audio on the internet, or a MP3 video (or even YouTube), is it possible save this on my iPhone somehow so I can listen to it?
Not sure but I believe iTunes has a special format.
iTunes plays both MP3 and AAC.
You can import one of theme and convert to the other by right-clicking on a song and selecting "create MP3 version" (or "create AAC version").
In iTunes you can set you can set the preferred format in the "import settings" (Preferences -> General -> Import Settings...).
Once they are in iTunes you can sync them on your iPhone or iPad.
For song found on YouTube you can google for "YouTube to MP3". You will find something (I'm not sure I can post a direct link here).
I use Handbrake for converting files - but if the device is jailbroken, then applications like Protube (and just recently `Bridge' will do a lot of the conversation for you on the phone...

Any comparisons of crime among different locales should take into consideration relevant factors in addition to the area's crime statistics. Variables Affecting Crime provides more details concerning the proper use of UCR statistics.
For the 2007 population estimates used in this table, the FBI computed individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2006 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency's rates of growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2006 Census population estimate to derive the agency's 2007 population estimate.
