What are some things you can in Windows 7 that you couldn't do in previous versions of Windows? Don't limit your answers to a single feature, I want to learn as much as possible.
closed as too broad by Mokubai♦ Oct 5 '15 at 6:51
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Some other great additions:
Math input panel quite simply because it can read my handwriting better than humans.
Better Calculator with history of recent calculations and a myriad of new advanced functions for statistics and programming. Also worksheets for day-to-day calculations such as fuel economy, date calculations, unit conversions.
Ribbon Interface in the old accessories such as WordPad, Paint etc. These incorporate the new UI introduced by Office 07 and hide a few new additional features.
Whole screen Magnifier Pressing
Libraries are a new folder system which contain folders from various locations. For example Music library can contain folders from e:\music, c:\users\me\music, d:\downloads\music, and deal with all the files together.
Homegroups vastly simplifies sharing files on a home network.
Searching is looks way more cleaner with highlights and the new 'Content' view.
Federated Search allows for custom search providers (in example below YouTube) from Explorer. This is especially useful for desktop programs which have searchable content like OneNote, Stickies etc.
However by far the best feature would have to be XP Mode!
XP Mode allows you to install and run programs in a virtual machine running XP. This is awesome if you have programs that only work on XP. What's more it allows for seamless integration as you can see below, XP's IE6 running besides Firefox on 7 on the same machine.
Rearrange taskbar buttons.
Drag window against the left or right edge to fill half the screen, top edge to maximize.
Grab a maximized titlebar and pull to restore.
Shake the titlebar to minimize everybody else.
Some of mine and some from 7 Reasons to Upgrade to Windows 7:
There are a whole bunch of cool new keyboard shortcuts. (Not sure if that counts as mind blowing tho =) And I love the magnifier -- use that constantly.
My favorite: Burn an ISO CD/DVD.
Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive list of new features in Windows 7. I like that it has a lot more video codecs built in so I can watch my collection of video files without having to install anything extra. Jump lists are pretty useful as well.
The rearranging taskbar buttons is nice, I only recently learn you can do the same thing with tray icons! No more going into the stupid customize dialog to get show/hide a tray icon.
The ability to mount and create VHD natively using the Disk Manager. Also the ability to boot of a VHD.
VHD = Virtual Hard Disk created by either Virtual PC or Hyper-V
You can play a game of Solitaire, leave it mid-game, close the program, then open it back up in the same state. I haven't tried it with the other games, but I think that is a cool feature.
There seems to be a bit more support for touch interfaces.
For example, clicking a taskbar icon and dragging upward will bring up that icon's context menu/jump list (the same as right clicking). Similarly, clicking on IE's address bar and dragging downward will open up your history. Dragging to open a context menu makes sense because in a "touch only" scenario you wouldn't have the equivalent of a right-click.
I haven't confirmed that this "drag to open" feature affects all ComboBoxes but it wouldn't surprise me if it does.
Much more versatile animated boot screen :) How to change the Windows 7 Boot Screen Finally!

On Wednesday, May 24 at 11:30 am at the Morris County Courthouse, Professor Penny Venetis of the Constitutional Litigation Clinic at Rutgers School of Law–Newark will ask the Appellate Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey to de-commission the State's electronic voting machines. This lawsuit is the nation's only lawsuit challenging electronic voting machines to have survived a motion to dismiss.
In April, after a four-day trial, the trial court judge found that the almost 10,000 electronic voting machines currently in use in New Jersey cannot be upgraded to produce a voter-verified paper ballot by January 1, 2008 ― the deadline set by the Legislature for upgrading the machines. This means, noted Venetis, that unless the machines are de-commissioned, New Jersey voters will continue to vote on insecure and unreliable machines that can be readily manipulated. She added that the electronic voting machines used in New Jersey have been de-commissioned because of their unreliability by California, Ohio, New Mexico, Nevada, and New York City. Recently, machines identical to those used in New Jersey malfunctioned in Chicago, causing election tabulations to be delayed for nearly a month.
The lawsuit seeking to decommission electronic voting machines was filed by the Rutgers Constitutional Litigation Clinic in 2004 on behalf of Stephanie Harris, who encountered computer malfunctions when attempting to cast her vote electronically, and on behalf of several public interest groups including the Coalition for Peace Action. Other plaintiffs include State Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (Legislative District 15), an early proponent of the voter verified paper ballot.
The hearing will take place at 11:30 am in Part H of the Appellate Division at the Morris County Courthouse, Washington & Court Streets, Morristown. | Read Story

Knitter's Spotlight: Mixology by Rachel Horsting
Knitting has been an important part of Rachel Horsting's life since she was a little girl. Rachel's mother taught her the basics when she was four and by the time she finished college, Rachel was coming up with her own designs. She continued knitting while she pursuing her master's degree, working as a high school teacher and raising a family. She even continued knitting as her family traveled abroad for her husband's research. Read more

Until 1964, the South Carolina State Fair was a 'whites only' event. As a result, the black community took part in the South Carolina Colored State Fair one week later. The 'colored' event was sponsored by the Colored State Fair Association.The segregated fair was in existence from 1908 to 1964, which marked the legal ban of segregation.
The Colored State Fair was the place where the best agriculture presented by black farmers was put on display. Its largest attraction was the ferris wheel. The crowd enjoyed marching band competitions, fireworks, rides and livestock competitions. There was also a draw to see the "hootchie-cootchie" girls, who performed in a covered tent, special for those who were mature enough to attend.
The South Carolina Colored State Fair was billed as the "greatest event for Negroes in the state."

I agree completely abut being cautious. In this case, however, I think the still photographs are supported by a number of the video clips that have been posted on Ballet Alert over the years. Not to mention the reviews posted here from live performance. That out-of-alignment quality has been evident in so many of those, and not just in the case of Ms. Somova.
I think we have to be cautious photo comparisons. Just about every dancer can be photographed in what looks like a bad position, it's hard to judge momentum and weight in most stills, and a supporting partner's position in supported adagio has impact on the alignment of the supported partner.
On the other hand, I'm a complete amateur in these matters. It would be great to hear from other members about what they think about Mr. Ou's photos, and what they do or do not show us.
For me, this series of photos raises a larger question than Ms. Somova's technique. It has to do with how much we can and cannot learn from still photography, and how much we can extrapolate from that..
Well in my post above, I included links to the source video clips of Somova along with other photos and they can be seen in their entirety and in context.
Moreover, I've found multiple freeze frames of a video clip to be extremely useful in not only evaluating dancers, but also studying and teaching ballet technique. For example, here's a "text book" example of how to do an inside turn to fish which I've found immensely useful as a learning guideline. Here's Baryshnikov showing how to do a proper reveltad and how to launch the step. Proper (Vaganova in this case but applies to all elite companies) tendu a la seconde with legs fully to the side and heels facing downward, not heel forward with legs cheating front. Proper turns in seconde with legs fully to the side from the stunning performance "Lost in Motion".
The photos show every frame of the video which only shows the technique very well, but it's also very useful as an analytic tool for determining accurate flight time and height that the dancer jumped. From this analysis, I've found that Ivan Vasiliev spends 0.9 seconds in the air for his monster double cabriole which is even respectable hang time in the NBA. David Hallberg and Roberto Bolle are both in the 0.66 second range for double tours which is very respectable considering the fact that they're doing proper ballet positions.

Helio Sequence Perform in The Current studio
Portland-based rock duo The Helio Sequence have been at it for over a decade, crafting densely sonically textured indie rock and pop and continually honing their nuanced songwriting.
Their last release, 2008's Keep Your Eyes Ahead, found the band drifting towards cleaner production, a poppier and folkier songwriting approach, and a nuanced, more somber sense of lyricism. With this year's Negotiations, their fifth full-length and third for stalwart indie label Sub Pop, expands upon those inclinations but also revisits the dream-pop and synthesizer-driven approach that established them in their earlier days.
Recorded in an abandoned industrial building after the band's studio and practice space flooded while they were away on tour, Negotations showcases the sort of spacious, subtly detailed rock sound that a band can only arrive at through experience and personal growth.
The Helio Sequence stopped by recently to play a few songs and chat with Mary Lucia.
Songs played: "One More Time," "October" and "Downward Spiral."

I was wondering what research I can find on what colors to use for primary 'call-to-action' buttons. I know the size of the button and the contrast it has in relation to its background play a big part. I see blue and orange used a lot, but im wondering where I can find more information on this that will help determine the color of the primary buttons in a site design...
Good question! I'm dealing with this issue myself with submit, cancel, and exit buttons on a page.
Here is The Visual Weight of Primary and Secondary Action Buttons for the visual weight of primary and secondary buttons.
Here is Primary & Secondary Actions with a longer list at the bottom.
Here is Working with Visual Weight in Your Designs that addresses colors specifically, although it only lists 5.
I found a book online: Graphic Design: the new basics. While it gives very good overall design tips, the section on color helped me understand the terms and the basics.
I recently found this section on color at MS Dev Center - Windows UX Interaction Guidelines: Color that talks about Microsofts approach to UX. It has a very brief section on what basic colors mean to a user that I found interesting.
Here is a basic summary of what I found:
Last of all here is a basic chart for color meaning:
The choice of color for primary button is also dependent on the color palette your interface is using. Choose the color that is not the dominant color, yet it offers sufficient saturation and contrast to stand out from other elements. Primary button color should be used sparingly- use it for emphasizing or highlighting elements, not as the dominating color.

I think there are some architectural considerations frequently overlooked. Even a Foundation 2010 system should be planned. I would hate to find a company with 10 web servers each hosting 10 single server SharePoint farms with local databases.
Agree with Mike, having SharePoint in the Web Platform Installer will certainly make even more bad installations of SharePoint (which of course make consultants busy :-), aka Standalone installations.
The standalone option is there for one single purpose - and that is trial and demo (and AFAIK MS added that feature to satisfy some research companies when they said SP was to cumbersome to install). If SP was added to WPI it would certainly make companies beleive that the installation is production ready - which it is not when installed in Standalone mode.

(CBS/AP) Despite the fact that the presidential election is days away, the scene on the campaign trail Wednesday was remarkably civil.
President Obama cancelled campaign events to tour storm damage with New Jersey's Republican governor, Chris Christie; Mitt Romney offered up an optimistic vision of the future at a campaign stop in Florida, opting to leave out his usual attacks on the president.
Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted: What has been a remarkable run of storm-related civility is now coming to an end. Mr. Obama is returning to the campaign trail Thursday with stops in Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado, while Romney holds a trio of campaign events in Virginia. Asked if Romney will sharpen his tone Thursday, the Romney campaign told CBS News that Americans can expect the sort of tone that one would expect "six days before an election" - that is, a nastier one than we've seen in the wake of Sandy. (Or, to put it in campaign speak, you can expect Romney to offer "contrasts" that spotlight "what the president hasn't done.")
Mr. Obama also looks to be getting back to his anti-Romney message: A release from his campaign said he plans to "highlight his second-term agenda to grow our economy from the middle out, not the top down."
The last few days are widely seen as having done Romney no favors: While the president had the opportunity to look like a strong leader in the wake of Sandy's devastation, Romney was left to hold awkward events stuck somewhere between campaign stop and storm relief effort.
The storm interrupted the Romney camp's argument that the GOP candidate had the momentum and was closing in on the president in the battleground states, and ate up valuable news coverage at a time when the GOP candidate was counting on using the media to make his closing case to the American people. One poll, meanwhile, showed that 78 percent of Americans viewed Mr. Obama's handling of the storm positively.
How will Sandy impact Chris Christie's political future?Obama tells New Jersey: "We are here for you"
In an apparent attempt to reboot its argument that Romney has momentum, the Romney campaign and the outside groups supporting it announced they are running ads in states where Mr. Obama was supposed to be safe: Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota.
Though polls in all three states have showed the race tightening, they are undeniably a stretch for Romney: Asked Wednesday if his candidate was really contesting them, Romney campaign senior adviser Russ Schriefer responded, "Can we win all of them? Probably not. But can we win some of them? I think so." Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod, meanwhile, said he is so confident that the president will hang onto the three states that he will shave his moustache "of 40 years" if any of them turn red.
Though there is a general consensus that the Romney effort is a "head fake," in the words of Pennsylvania politics expert Keegan Gibson, it's worth noting that Sandy has caused headaches in Pennsylvania - and Mr. Obama is counting on massive turnout in that city.
The divergence in perspectives extended to the campaigns' dueling conference calls on Wednesday. The Obama camp was full of zingers: "We have the math, and they have the myth," said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, adding: "The Romney campaign is trying to sell illusion and delusion." The Romney camp went with optimism: The Romney campaign has "expanded the map" and kept Obama from competing in Indiana and other states where he was competitive or victorious in 2008.
Both campaigns offered up a flood of early voting numbers to argue that their candidate is on the cusp of a clear victory, and pointed to what they said were overwhelming weaknesses in the opposition. (The president, the Romney camp gleefully noted, wasn't breaking 50 percent support in many national or battleground polls; Romney, the Obama camp said, has been reduced to a "Hail Mary" attempt to expand the map because he "hasn't put away a single battleground state.")
Here's the simple truth: The race is tight. National polls are even, and all of the battleground states remain within reach for both candidates. Wednesday's Quinnipiac/CBS News/New York Times poll showed Mr. Obama maintaining a small edge in the key battleground of Ohio, while two other hotly contested states, Florida and Virginia, where tossups.
It's difficult, but not impossible, for Romney to get to the 270 necessary electoral votes without Ohio. But his campaign clearly doesn't want to travel that narrow electoral path, and it is battling hard for the Buckeye State.
One aspect of that effort may have backfired: Romney's attempt to suggest that Mr. Obama is responsible for shipping Jeep jobs to China was met with derision not just by fact checkers and the Obama campaign but by the auto industry itself. The big question is whether the negative response to the argument overwhelms its message that the president isn't protecting Ohio jobs - a potentially resonant argument to the working-class voters the president needs to take the state. Both presidential candidates will campaign in Ohio on Friday.
If Romney can't close the apparent gap in Ohio, he'll almost certainly need to take Wisconsin - a state Mr. Obama won by 14 points four years ago, but which has emerged as a key battleground this year. Mr. Obama got some good news out of that state on Wednesday, when a Marquette University Law School poll found the president with a 51 percent to 43 percent lead. (Marquette showed the candidates effectively tied on October 17.)
If Mr. Obama wins Ohio, Wisconsin and either Nevada or Iowa - along with all the states he is expected to win - he'll have the electoral votes he needs, even if Romney runs the table in the rest of the battleground states. Polls show Mr. Obama with narrow leads in both Nevada and Iowa, though the Romney campaign argues the early vote numbers suggest they are well positioned for victory.
Mr. Obama's lead in Ohio and Wisconsin suggests that Romney, whose only clear battleground lead is in North Carolina, has a narrower path to victory than the president. (In addition to the seven states discussed above, CBS News considers Colorado and New Hampshire to be battlegrounds.) But the battleground states are so close that a small surge by Romney could put him over the top in a whole bunch of them - including the two Midwestern states that are now functioning as the president's firewall.
The Romney campaign said Wednesday it was confident that its closing message of "real change" will resonate with Americans as they refocus on the race after Sandy and make their final conclusions about the candidates.
"This is a change election. Voters are looking for change, they aren't happy with the way things have gone over the last four years," said Schriefer, the Romney adviser. He added: "Governor Romney is the change candidate."

text: I'm borrowing this idea from another writer's forum I visit periodically. The idea is that everyone posts updates of their progress on the latest story/novel/poem/whatever. It was pretty popular out there, and I think it's a great motivational tool. I guess I'll start . I just recently finished Chapter 12 of 'Untitled', which is one of my few non-fantasy works that's been plaguing me for a while. I think I've got about 4-5 chapters left, and then it's done, which I'm kind of optimistic about. It's a dark, ugly kind of story and at times it's almost painful to write. I'm also into 'Twilight War', which is basically an action-movie in book form ;p. This one's great fun to write, and the characters are starting to come to life and do things on their own, which is nice. Stuck on Sleeping Dragon for the moment, trying to decide what I want to do with it. Also retooled the website (shameless plug. You can read all the afore-mentioned here ;p), made a cool new logo thanks to CoolText (I can track down the URL if anyone's interested. Free 3D logos, bunch of different styles). Anywhoo, how's everyone else doing with their various projects?

A 2010 national study found that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men will be stalked in their lifetime. While stalking occurs across the lifespan, research indicates that approximately 10% of stalking victims are ages 50 – 64 and 4% are age 65 or older. Most stalking victims know their offenders. For older stalking victims, the offender may be current or former intimate partner, a relative, or an acquaintance, such as a current or former care giver. Victims of stalking in later life face unique challenges, including lack of dedicated services for stalking victims and lack of recognition of stalking among providers of services to older adults. This webinar will provide participants with an understanding of the dynamics of stalking, explore the challenges faced by victims of stalking in later life, and provide professionals with considerations for working with older stalking victims.

Will a new immigration policy get Latinos to the polls?
Published on Fri, Jun 15, 2012
Mary Giovagnoli, director of the IPC, was quoted in a BBC article discussing the Administration's new policy offering deferred action to "DREAMers," young people brought to this country by their parents and fit certain criteria :
Mary Giovagnoli, director of the Center for Immigration Policy (IPC), says the Obama administration realised how many resources were being wasted in processing the deportation of thousands of people who never represented any threat to the country.
"The thinking of the government evolved to recognise that it had to take bolder steps in this immigration issue," Ms Giovagnoli says. "This is the perfect and justifiable moment to struggle on this behalf."
She says that with the Supreme Court set to rule on whether individual states can apply their own harsh immigration laws, Mr Obama's new policy is indispensable for immigrants.

Prove or disprove:
The eigenvalues of an operator are all real if and only if the operator is hermitian.
I know the proof in one way; that is, I know how to prove that if the operator is hermitian, then the eigenvalues must be real. It's the other direction that I'm not sure.

scp be used to send a single file to multiple remote servers at the same time? If so, how? If not, what's the alternative?
For example, if you had a group called 'webservers' in
pdsh commands and pdcp copies are executed in parallel (with limits and timeouts to prevent overloading of the originating system).
When the command being run produces multi-line output, it can get quote confusing to read. Another program in the
after seeing all your comments, it's possible that pdsh & pdcp may be overkill for your needs...it's really designed to be a system admin's tool rather than a normal non-root user's tool.
It may be that writing a simple shell script wrapper around scp may be good enough for you. e.g. here's an extremely simple, minimalist version of such a wrapper script.
Instead of sending a file to multiple targets at the same time you could read it multiple times at the same time.
Transfer your file to NFS, mount that filesystem on your targets and copy it from NFS to your local destination.
To do so manually and concurrent, you could use cluster-ssh (cssh) on the targets.

Who is watching the opening weekend of hockey?
Even if it less than 2 1/2 months from opening day for baseball...
13 Answers answer
This whole lockout nonsense has ruined the season for me. I just don't feel like watching it.
Next season starts some time around October. I'll come back for that. The 2012-2013 season is dead to me.
edit: GO STARS
@rprebel: I agree with you
I was offered tickets to a season opener and turned them down because I don't want to support this years BS
At this point I strongly prefer MLS to the NHL. Maybe next year. Maybe not though.
I'm way to focused on football right now, perhaps after the championships.
I wasn't going to, as I really didn't want to help support overpaid players and executives, but I simply could not resist watching the Pens vs. Flyers game. THis game has meaning to alot of people inside and outside of PA.
@ecriscit: if you don't want to support overpaid p[layers and executives, then I sure hope you don't watch any of the sports that REALLY overpay their people...
The lockout pissed hubby and I off, but we're THRILLED that hockey has returned. We wore our jerseys and watched hockey pretty much all day yesterday, enjoying the crap out of it!
I wont, but I'm fairly sure every single person I go to school with will be. I'm not much of a sports guy.
I'm watching. It's been a few years since I had time for hockey so 2 televised games in the same weekend is kinda nice.
only 6 hockey fans in the united states, and funny enough they're all on woot -----------------^
Watching Buffalo Sabres now
The Daytona 500 is just a little over 1 month away.
Go Flyers!

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the choreography expects them to be in unison. Each of the "Guests" in Act 1 is expected to have a sort of "fugal" start of a phrase rather than strict unison. Maybe someone else has the definitive answer to this.
Also in Act 1, I thought the unison parts weren't in sync for the 6 ladies dance.
Thank you for responding. I hate the feeling that I'm talking to myself.
Yes, I know that dance is a fugal feeling, but there are unison parts that I thought weren't in sync. Still the dancing was gorgeous. I'm going to the Oregon ballet this Saturday night for my first time ever, and I'm looking forward to familiarizing myself with that company.

Update: Friday, October 11, 2013
Teen Save Lives Through Organ Donation
A Sullivan South High School student was killed in a car crash Thursday morning on the way to school.
Blake Young's family tells us the 16 year-old made a choice to become an organ donor when he went to get his driver's license.
Thursday morning, Sullivan County deputies say Blake was driving down Lebanon Road, when his truck left the road, hit an embankment and flipped over.
Paramedics rushed the teen to Holston Valley Medical Center, where he later passed away.
Blake's family says since an early age, he's loved to help people.
"He was always good with everybody around him; everybody at school, lots of friends, just happy all the time; good kid," says Derek Fisher, who is Blake's brother.
Blake is saving at least 5 lives across the country.
The family is having a memorial tomorrow for friends and family.
The crash is still under investigation.
Update: Thursday, October 10, 2013:
A teenager has died following a crash that happened on Thursday.
Just before 7:00am, the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office received a report of a single vehicle crash on Lebanon Road in Kingsport.
Deputies said the pickup truck was driven by 16-year old Blake Young of Kingsport. The vehicle was traveling North on Lebanon Road when it exited the roadway on the right side. The vehicle then struck an embankment and overturned. The driver was ejected during the crash.
The sheriff's office said Blake Young was transported to Holston Valley Medical Center with critical injuries, but he did not survive. He was a student at Sullivan South High School according to the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office. He was also an organ donor.

General Discussion
Moebius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by weakness or paralysis (palsy) of multiple cranial nerves, most often the 6th (abducens) and 7th (facial) nerves. Other cranial nerves are sometimes affected. The disorder is present at birth (congenital). If the 7th nerve is involved, the individual with Moebius syndrome is unable to smile, frown, pucker the lips, raise the eyebrows, or close the eyelids. If the 7th nerve is affected, the eye cannot turn outward past the midline. Other abnormalities include underdevelopment of the pectoral muscles and defects of the limbs. Moebius syndrome is not progressive. The exact cause is unknown. It appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically) in most cases; however, some cases run in families suggesting that there may be a genetic component.
Moebius syndrome is named after Paul Julius Mobius, a German neurologist, who first described the disorder in 1888. There has been disagreement in the medical literature as to a precise definition of the disorder.

Volume 2, Issue 4
OncoLink would like to recognize the contribution of the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA) whose initiative with Pharmacia Oncology and Pfizer has made this publication possible.
In March of 2000, Katie Couric, NBC Today Show co-anchor and co-founder of the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, underwent her first colonoscopy. Ms. Couric's colonoscopy was unusual in that it was televised on the Today Show, for millions of viewers to watch. Katie, whose husband, Jay Monahan, died of the disease at age 42, hoped to show viewers that the test was not a big deal and that it had the ability to save many lives through early detection.
A study conducted by the University of Michigan found that Katie had succeeded. The study included colonoscopies performed by 400 gastroenterologists nationwide from July 1998 (89 weeks before Ms. Couric's test) to December 2000 (40 weeks after her test). The researchers saw an increase of 19% in the number of screening tests performed during that period.
Katie says she's "thrilled people paid attention and took action." Her challenge is to keep the positive effects going. This past March Ms. Couric underwent a "virtual colonoscopy" on the air, a procedure that is still considered experimental. Once again, her efforts have prompted people to discuss this "unspeakable" disease with family, friends, and healthcare providers, and become more aware of the disease and the available screening tests.
Prevention Tips: There are simple steps anyone can take to greatly reduce their risk of this preventable, yet deadly, cancer.
Risk Factors: Both men and women are at equal risk for colorectal cancer. The older you are, the higher your risk; nevertheless, 13,000 cases per year will still be diagnosed in people under 50.
African Americans have higher colorectal cancer rates than men and women of other racial and ethnic groups.
Unhealthy habits like smoking or being overweight increase your risk for colorectal cancer. An important risk factor is having a family history or personal history of the following:
By: James Metz, MD
It is estimated that more than 131,000 Americans will develop colon or rectal cancer in 1998. It is the second most common cause of death from cancer in the United States. Colorectal cancer can be treated effectively when it is discovered at an early stage of disease.
There are a number of risk factors associated with the development of colorectal cancer. Hereditary colon polyps, cancer family syndromes, and a history of colorectal cancer in a first-degree relative all place the individual at a higher risk. A personal history of adenomas and colon polyps, previous colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease also puts the individual at higher risk. However, less than 1/3 of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer have high-risk features. There is an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer with increasing age. For this reason, it is recommended all individuals over the age of 50 participate in colorectal cancer screening.
There are a number of screening tests utilized for colorectal cancer:
Digital Rectal Examination: The physician inserts a gloved finger into the rectum and feels for any abnormalities. If no blood is visible on the gloved finger, fecal occult blood testing is performed (see below). To date, there has not been significant evidence that the rectal examination has had any effect on mortality when used alone as a screening test.
Fecal Occult Blood Testing: Special cards are utilized to test for occult blood (blood not seen by the naked eye). Patients can place a small sample of feces on the card at home or the physician can place a sample on the card after a digital rectal examination. A special chemical is used by the lab to determine if blood is present. It should be noted many things could cause a positive occult blood test. If you have a positive test, further studies are warranted. Fecal occult blood testing on an annual or biannual basis for individual 45-80 years of age has been shown to decrease mortality from colorectal cancer.
Sigmoidoscopy: A sigmoidoscope is a thin tube with a light at the end, which is placed into the rectum. It can evaluate the distal colon and the rectum (about 1/3 of the colon) for polyps, tumors, and other abnormalities. Regular screening in individuals over 50 years of age may decrease mortality from colorectal cancer. There has been significant controversy over the optimal screening interval.
Colonoscopy: The colonoscope is much longer than a sigmoidoscope so that the entire colon can be evaluated. Patients are usually sedated for a colonoscopy procedure. A colonoscopy may be recommended for patients who are at high risk for colorectal cancer, have abnormalities on a sigmoidoscopy, or have unexplained fecal occult blood.
Barium Enema: A barium enema is a radiologic study of the colon and rectum. Barium is contrast material that is given by enema prior to taking X-rays. This allows the colon and rectum to be visualized and abnormalities can be evaluated. The patient is placed on a table that moves so the contrast can be followed through the bowel.
The American Cancer Society recommends three courses of action beginning at the age of 50, from which the patient and physician can choose for screening. These include:
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What role does diet play in the prevention of colon cancer?
Katrina Claghorn, MS, RD, Registered Dietitian at the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center, responds:
There has been a great deal of research on the impact of nutrition on colon cancer. Despite all the studies there is still no definitive anti-colon cancer diet. Below is a list of nutritional factors that have been found to have the greatest potential for reducing colon cancer risk.

RILEY COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) -- During their opening statements on Monday, the prosecution and defense painted very different pictures of accused killer Luis Aguirre, 24.
Aguirre is charged with capital murder in the September 2009 deaths of his ex-girlfriend, 18-year-old Tanya Maldonado and the couple's 13-month-old, son Juan.
Testimony began Monday at the Riley County Courthouse.
The bodies of Tanya and Juan were discovered in late October 2009 by a hunter in a shallow grave east of Ogden. At first, authorities thought there was only one adult in the grave but the remains of a child were also found.
Riley County Attorney Barry Wilkerson says Aguirre brought Tanya and Juan to Ogden to the apartment where he was living with his new girlfriend, Dulce Mendez. Mendez was stationed at Fort Riley and was deployed to Iraq when the killings took place. Tanya and Juan had been living in Chicago in a homeless shelter and were desperate for support. Aguirre was also originally from Chicago and was in the National Guard. During training in Alabama, he met Mendez and moved to Ogden to live with her and her 18-month-old son.
Prosecutors say Aguirre planned the murders, even digging the grave in a remote area ahead of time. They told the jury he wanted to get rid of Tanya and Juan so that he could move on with his life and his new love. Before the the bodies of the victims were discovered, he had relocated to Austin, Texas where he was staying with Dulce Mendez's family.
Riley County investigators traveled to Texas to question him once they had identified Tanya and Juan. When the hunter found their remains, an arm was sticking out of the grave and before police began the exhumation process, the appendage was removed at the elbow and taken to the KBI lab in Topeka where fingerprint examiners were able to find a match to Tanya's fingerprints that had previously been processed in Chicago when she was alive and entered into the federal database.
Wilkerson says when Aguirre was questioned by investigators, he provided them with several different versions of what happened inside the apartment on 8th Street in Ogden. At first, detectives didn't tell Aguirre that the grave had been located and he was led to believe that Tanya was missing. Aguirre admitted to having an intimate relationship with her and that they had a child together but said Tanya had never been to Kansas and in their last email exchange, she had mentioned going to California to visit a relative and get help raising her baby. Aguirre begged police to find out the whereabouts of Juan.
When investigators confronted Aguirre and said they knew that Tanya had been in Kansas, Wilkerson says he told them that Tanya did show up in Kansas after getting a ride from another man. When he told her they weren't getting back together, she cried and then left for California.
Then, the detectives confronted Aguirre about Tanya's death. Aguirre told the investigators that in the midst of an argument and struggle in the kitchen, he covered Tanya's mouth for five minutes to stop her from yelling and he didn't realize that he was also covering her nose. After she stopped kicking and moving, Aguirre says he thought she had calmed down and let her go. She started spitting up blood and he tried to revive her with chest compressions but she died.
When he went to check on his son so he wouldn't wander into the kitchen and see what had happened with his mother, Aguirre says he found toddler asleep, somewhat hanging off his bed. Aguirre says he tucked Juan in tightly and later found him face down on a pillow with a pacifier in his mouth and he could not be revived.
Wilkerson says the state will present emails showing Tanya's growing resentment, and anger towards Aguirre, especially after having to spend a night on a porch with her son because they didn't have anywhere else to go or any help from him. Aguirre then told Tanya that he wanted to "fix the situation" and that he had been transferred back to Chicago and had signed up for Section 8 housing. Meanwhile, he had just received a promise ring from Dulce Mendez for his birthday.
According to the county attorney, Aguirre had made promises to two separate women and Tanya and Juan were keeping him from moving on. In the end, Aguirre only had one woman to keep his promise to because Tanya and Juan were dead. Wilkerson asked jurors to work to determine if this is a case of premeditated murder or two "unfortuitous" deaths.
But the defense says Aguirre was trying to help Tanya get back on her feet and that he never intended for two people that he cared about to die.
Tim Frieden, Aguirre's attorney, pointed out that Aguirre has a daughter from another relationship and he helped support her. Frieden says Aguirre tried to assist Tanya by offering to put Juan on his insurance, offering to take care of him while she searched for work and offering to set up a bank account to help get them money. When he went to Chicago for his National Guard drills, he knew that Tanya and Juan were in a "dire situation" so he picked them up and brought them to Kansas to help provide Tanya with opportunities. When talking about the fight in the kitchen, Frieden says Aguirre wanted to stop Tanya's outburst and in the heat of an argument, she ended up dying. Then, he found Juan face down on his pillow, dead.
Frieden says Tanya may have had a pre-existing medical condition involving seizures and that Juan may have had a cold at the time of his death from living in the homeless shelter.
Frieden says Aguirre was scared to call 911 because he didn't think he would be believed and he panicked, hastily digging a grave and placing Juan in Tanya's arms. Aguirre, Frieden says, never meant for them to die and their deaths were not planned. He says Aguirre regrets not calling 911 and in a written statement, he said that he ended the lives of two souls and it will haunt him forever.
As jurors continue to hear testimony and evidence, it will be their job to determine if Tanya and Juan's deaths were the result of premeditated murder. If convicted of capital murder, he could face the death penalty.
The trial continues Tuesday at the Riley County Courthouse. District Court Judge Meryl Wilson is presiding over the trial.
Aguirre remains in custody. He's pleaded not guilty to capital murder.

Former Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Turki al-Faisal underscored the importance of the Arab peace initiative during a speech last night at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Prince Turki noted that the peace initiative, proposed by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and approved by the Arab League in 2002, is based on the land-for-peace principle approved by international conferences in Madrid (1991) and Annapolis (2007), as well as United Nations Resolutions 242 and 338.
Insisting that the road for peace is very clear, Prince Turki advised Israel to end its provocative actions, including building settlements in the Occupied Territories. In order to achieve a fair and durable settlement of the conflict, he added, Israel should withdraw from all land occupied since 1967, accept a just solution for the problem of Palestinian refugees and recognize a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
Prince Turki also discussed the peacemaking efforts of Saudi Arabia, noting that the Kingdom has always supported the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. He said that the road to peace requires intensified diplomatic efforts and enhanced cooperation.
Prince Turki is the chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies in Riyadh.

I encountered the word "Typ" (en:type) which has a 'y' serving as a vowel; in this case a 'ü', I believe.
Is this a singular case or are there more words in which 'y' is used as a vowel?
I encountered the word "Typ" (en:type) which has a 'y' serving as a vowel; in this case a 'ü', I believe.
Is this a singular case or are there more words in which 'y' is used as a vowel?
Essentially, the letter "y" itself is no vowel in the German Language. The letter that are vowels in German are:
(On Wikipedia there is also mentioned É == ee, as in "Varieté" .)
Moreover, they WIKI article says that the letter "y" can be accounted as a vowel, since its pronunciation is often like the German "ü". In some circumstances it is pronounced as "j" (*), but in some cases that's true for "i" and "u", too (e.g. Qualle [ˈkvalə])
Strictly speaking, we have to consider the way how we pronounce the letter. That is, in "Typ" the vowel is a long ü.
(The bold part is the vowel which covers "Typ".)
For that reason, we can count "y" as vowel. Though, note please that the y just occurs in adopted words from different languages. Words that are borrowed from Greek are pronounced as "ü". In all other cases the "y" is pronounced as in the "original language", therefore it also can be pronounced as "i" (Party, Hobby). WIKIPEDIA
In a nutshell: Besides of proper names there are no German words that have the letter "y". Thus, for the German language itself it is hard to say if it is a vowel or not. For the words from foreign languages we take the pronunciation of the other language. That don't makes the "y" a vowel in the German languages automatically, not least because there are a lot of "exceptions" where it isn't pronounced as vowel. I don't see "y" as a vowel of the German language and that's what you learn in school, too.
(*) I just want to mention a few words in which the y is spoken as consonant j:
For the sake of completeness, I shouldn't forget to mention diphthongs:
A vowel is really primarily a type of sound rather than a letter. But the letters used to represent vowels can also be referred to as vowels (Vokalbuchstaben in German). In both English and German, Y sometimes represents a vowel and sometimes a consonant.
It looks like Y was originally introduced into the Roman alphabet solely for the purpose of transcribing the letter Y (ypsilon) - which is a vowel - in Greek words. See the following quote from Wikipedia (from the German page on the Roman alphabet):
Since Y is called Ypsilon in German, and based on the fact that the only reasonably old German words I know are actually Greek, I'm guessing that for a while after the Roman alphabet began to be used for German, Y was only used for transcribing Greek words (and therefore only as a vowel), as had been the case in Latin. But this is only a conjecture.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The brief Georgia winter provides a great opportunity to get excellent results for crappie fishing, and several reservoirs across the state offer rewards for anglers willing to brave the bitter cold temperatures.
"Anglers searching for winter crappie need to concentrate on the 'hot spots'," says John Biagi, chief of Fisheries Management for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division. "Crappie fishing brings a lot of action, which means it is an excellent time to engage the entire family or to introduce someone new to the fun aspect of the sport."
During winter, crappie tend to congregate in deeper water, generally 15-30 feet deep, near the mouths of major tributaries and in the main lake. Large schools are easily located with sonar electronics.
As the water warms in late March, crappie will move to more shallow water toward the middle and back of major tributaries, preferring to congregate around woody cover such as stumps, logs, downed trees, fish attractors and creek ledges. Minnows and small jigs are favored bait, and light spinning tackle spooled with 6- or 8-pound test line is recommended.
Cool weather hot spots
Northwest Georgia: Lake Allatoona man-made fish attractors (location maps online at www.gofishgeorgia.com [1]), especially those in the Kellogg Creek, Illinois Creek, Tanyard Creek and Sweetwater Creek areas; the Coosa River, concentrating in the river immediately below Mayo's Lock and Dam Park and the tributary backwaters off the main river channel, especially in the Brushy Branch area of Big Cedar Creek.
Northeast Georgia: Lake Lanier's upper part of the reservoir, especially the Chattahoochee River arm, Wahoo Creek and Little River. Upper part of Lake Hartwell, including the Eastanollee Creek area; Lake Nottely man-made fish attractors.
East Central Georgia: Clarks Hill Lake, especially at Soap, Fishing, Grays and Newford creeks, and the Little River arm; Lake Oconee at Beaverdam, Sandy, Rocky, Richland and Sugar creeks and the Appalachee River arm; Lake Russell at Rocky River, Beaverdam, Coldwater and Allen creeks; Lakes Blalock and J.W. Smith in Clayton County both offer good bank fishing near boat ramps and additionally Lake Blalock offers good fishing at areas of standing timber and at J.W. Smith anglers are urged to concentrate on Panhandle Road Bridge, the overflow structure near the dam and the submerged pond and dam on the south side of the lake; Lake Varner and Randy Poynter Lake provide great crappie fishing opportunities.
West Central Georgia: West Point Lake has fish attractors, deep water areas, creek mouths and bridges; Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center anglers should visit Bennett, Shepherd and Margery Lake and fish deep water, flooded timber and fish attractors; Big Lazer Public Fishing Area and Ocmulgee Public Fishing Area anglers should fish flooded timber near creek channels and deep water; Lake Sinclair at Beaverdam Creek, around larger islands (Optimist, Budweiser and Goat), riprap along Highway 441 at Little River, Beaverdam and Rooty Creek. Bank or boat anglers at Sinclair also can try riprap at Twin Bridges and Potato Creek along Highway 212.
Southwest Georgia: Lake Walter F. George at Pataula Creek, Rood Creek, Sandy Branch and Sandy Creeks; Lake Seminole at the main river channels around Ford Scott Island, the Chattahoochee River mouth (between river miles three and four), the mouth of Spring Creek and the old river channels and submersed structures; Lake Blackshear at Swift Creek, Collins Branch, Cedar Creek and the numerous sloughs located off the main river channel between Highway 27 and Highway 30.
Anglers must possess a current Georgia fishing license to fish in public waters. Where can you get a license? Buy it online or find a list of retail license vendors at www.georgiawildlife.com/recreational-licenses [2] or buy it by phone at 1-800-366-2661.

Ohio air show appearance unlikely for Thunderbirds
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- The U.S. Air Force is saying it will ground its Thunderbirds jet demonstration team without a federal budget deal, putting the popular flight event's appearance at this summer's Dayton Air Show in jeopardy.
The Dayton Daily News reports ( http://bit.ly/13tFxqB ) the Air Force announced the planned grounding Friday and said Thunderbirds air support to public events would cease April 1.
Democratic President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, led by U.S. House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, were unable to reach a deal Friday. Boehner's district borders Dayton.
The Thunderbirds were scheduled to appear at the Vectren Dayton Air Show on June 22-23. The show's executive director said the show will go on with or without the Thunderbirds but he is hopeful they'll be able to fly.

I would like to run a batch job from within the current Mathematica .m file using "R CMD BATCH &" (the job runs in the background when Mathematica proceeds with the current calculations. How can I do that in Mathematica 9?
Here is a possible RLink - based solution. I will use Windows version, since it is easiest for me right now to test on Windows, but it should work on other platforms as well with a few obvious modifications.
First, here is a sample Mathematica script I used to test:
which I stored in
and then
This launches a separate process, which would execute the Mathematica script in
This code returns immedaitely, so that your main kernel is not blocked, and you can compute with it regardless of whether or not the batch job has completed.
In fact, while I did not do it here, this can be further automated,so that you run your batch script from within Mathematica, first saving it to a temporary file. I may add this automation layer later.

Urban farming in Cape Town
Population growth, rapid urbanisation, scarce food resources and environmental concerns have forced cities around the world to think about their future in innovative ways.
A non-profit project in the Cape Town suburb of Oranjezicht is looking to address some of these concerns – by starting a farm in the city.
The Oranjezicht City Farm (OZCF) is a community of adults and young folk working together to engage in small-scale food production in the City Bowl of Cape Town. Their vision is to improve under-utilised public green spaces by creating demonstration gardens for hands-on community-wide food gardening education, thereby increasing access to fresh vegetables.
The land they've chosen is an old, unused bowling green, on the site of the original Oranjezicht farm, which was established in 1709.
The OZCF is a project that aims to celebrate local food and community, and hopes to use vegetable gardening as a tool for building social cohesion, developing skills, educating residents and their children about food and the environment, and promoting the re-imaging of under-utilised public green spaces in the city.
Planting began in November last year, and though nothing is quite ready for harvest yet, seedlings are in the ground and lemons and limes are ripening on the trees.
The layout for the vegetable garden was inspired by Dutch East India Company iconography. Mark Stead of Derrick Integrated Communications, creative director of the OZCF, designed the OZCF logo, and Tanya de Villiers, a landscape architect, used the shape of the logo in the vegetable garden layout.
With initial funding from Madame Zingara, the organisers hope the farm will support itself in the future by selling the vegetables it grows, compost, seedlings, T-shirts and more, and operating a tearoom. However, the cost of the educational and outreach programmes will have to come from donations and funding.
Check out the slideshow below for more info:
The farm is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 07h00-16h00. Visitors and volunteers are welcome.
Urban farming – a growing trend
Urban farming is catching on in all sorts of interesting ways in Cape Town. The Oude Molen Eco Village in Pinelands is the site of organic vegetable gardens, beehives, a quaint cafe and organic shop. Stay a night at the Lighthouse Farm Lodge within the eco-village and enjoy the fresh produce!
The Mount Nelson Hotel uses vermiculture – that's worm farming to you and I – to create fertiliser and soil conditioner. All leftover scraps and organic matter from the Mount Nelson's breakfast buffets, the popular daily Afternoon Tea spread and dinners are eaten and processed by the earthworm family. This end product, known as "worm tea", is extremely rich in nutrients and is used on the grounds of the Mount Nelson to help the plants grow.
Over at Moyo at the V&A Waterfront, the restaurant is always looking to source fresh, sustainable ingredients – and what better way than to grow your own? Look out for its bright-green aquaponic lettuce, grown right at the souk. In aquaponics, aquaculture (raising aquatic animals in tanks – in this case tilapia fish) is combined with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) to create a sustainable food production system.

- Male Chihuahua, approximately 2-years old
- Jose Noel Rugama, 54, 2/14/47, 4111 SW 25th St., #74, Ft. Lauderdale
Description of Incident:
A Broward man is charged with felony cruelty to animals after using a razor to perform a crude operation on one of his dogs.
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives arrested 54-year old Jose Rugama at his home on Thursday after a witness told investigators that the suspect had removed a testicle from one of his two Chihuahuas on Wednesday, December 19, 2001.
As the dog squirmed and cried out in pain, Rugama cut into the pup's groin area with a
one-sided razor. The suspect told detectives that he had removed a "tumor" from the animal.
The pooch is recovering at the Coral Springs Animal Hospital, 1730 N. University Drive in Coral Springs.
BSO detectives removed several other animals from Rugama's home for the well being of the pets. Taken from the suspect's home were the injured Chihuahua, another Chihuahua, a Rottweiler, two Ball Pythons, several fish and birds.
Also removed from the suspects home for safekeeping, was a cache of weapons, including a Ranger .22 caliber rifle, a Remington .308 caliber rifle, a 1942 Enfield .303 rifle, a Beretta 7.65 caliber pistol, and a Taurus .357 revolver.
Rugama is being held without bond on a 1993 DUI and DUI manslaughter warrant out of Palm Beach County. On those charges, Rugama had used the alias of Milton Ponce.
