Process and job control
Full Workload
What is happening on your Linux machine? Various shell commands give you details about system processes and help you control them.
Whenever you or an application launch a program, the operating system starts one or multiple processes. These processes can enter various states: They can be processed, stopped, restarted, and – under normal circumstances – stopped again. Linux has something similar to access controls for processes: Only the user that started a process can stop, restart, or terminate the process.
The only exception to this rule is the root user, who can control any process on a system. On top of this are processes that run on system user accounts, such as nobody or lp – again, only root has full access to them. In this issue, I will be looking at tools that help you find out more about, and control, processes.
One Big Family
Processes are never isolated and are always in good company. In fact, they are in a hierarchical structure, with process number 1, init, at the top. init is the first process that Linux launches after booting. All other processes share this common "ancestor" – init starts the operating system's basic programs. pstree shows the relationship between "parent" and "child" processes. This tree structure shows you at a glance who is descended from whom (Figure 1).
Additional Output
The tool gives you more detailed output if you set the -a flag. This tells pstree to show you, in addition, the parameters with which the programs are running.
If you use a terminal that supports different fonts and bold type, such as Gnome Terminal or KDE's Konsole, you might also want to try the -h parameter. This tells pstree to highlight its own process and its ancestors.
If you would like to use this practical feature for other processes, use -H with the process ID, and pstree will highlight the specified process and its family tree. Setting the -p option tells pstree to output the process ID (PID), and -u gives you the user.
All of these parameters can be combined – for example, pstree -apu.
Listing Processes with ps
The ps command gives you a list of the processes currently running on your system. If you do not specify any command-line parameters, the tool will restrict the list to the current shell. If you are interested in all of your processes, call ps with the x option (Listing 1).
Listing 1
01 $ ps x 02 PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 03 3011 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-session 04 3061 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/gnome-session 05 [...] 06 3086 ? Ssl 0:02 gnome-panel --sm-client-id default1 07 3088 ? Ssl 0:02 nautilus --no-default-window --sm-client-id default2
The tabular output in the shell tells you the following characteristics:
- PID: The process identifier, a unique number that you can use to reference a process individually.
- TTY: The terminal or console on which the process was started. A question mark indicates that the process is not running on a terminal.
- STAT: The process status. The states can be S (sleeping), R (running), D (dead, the process cannot be restarted), or Z (zombie, a process that has terminated without correctly returning its return status).
- TIME: The computational time used.
- COMMAND: The full command with all of its command-line options.
The ps command offers a number of additional options for adding more information to the output. For example, u shows the process owner and CPU cycles or memory percentage, and a gives you a list of all processes for all users. The l option is also practical – this lengthy output gives you additional information on the PPID (parent process identifier) and on the UID (user identification) of the user who launched the process.
To display what can be fairly lengthy command-line parameters in the COMMAND column, you might want to set w for wider output, and you can use the option multiple times. As shown in Figure 2, you can combine these parameters as needed.
ps displays the full set of command-line parameters in the COMMAND column. Some programs, such as the wget download manager, optionally accept passwords for authentication in the shell. The password also appears as a command in the process list; theoretically, any user on the system could sniff sensitive data.

Patients who responded to Botox reported their migraines were reduced to fewer than one day a month, from almost seven, according to a study of 18 people published in the Archives of Dermatology. The researchers said people with migraine pain called "imploding" — that felt like a vise was tightened around their heads — were helped more than those whose migraine pain felt "explosive."
Medical trials have reported inconsistent data on how much Botox helps reduce migraine pain, the researchers said.
Irvine, Calif.-based Allergan has filed for approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market Botox as a treatment for chronic migraines, which affects about three million Americans, company spokeswoman Crystal Muilenburg said.
"This could revolutionize the way people with these migraines are treated," said one author of the study, Jeffrey Dover, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn. "It was the imploding headaches that responded and the ocular headaches. They required little to no pain medication for headaches in the months after their Botox treatment."
The study, which was released Monday, was funded in part by Allergan and the National Institutes of Health.
Migraine treatments include over-the-counter painkillers, as well as Topamax, made by Johnson & Johnson of New Brunswick, and GlaxoSmithKline's Imitrex. Map Pharmaceuticals is developing an inhaled migraine therapy called Levadex.
Botox, a purified form of the poison botulinum, is administered by doctors as an injection. It is approved as a short-term treatment to smooth wrinkles in facial skin by temporarily paralyzing the muscles underneath. Americans underwent almost 2.5 million Botox procedures in 2008, the latest year for which data are available, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
In the study, the researchers gave patients a dose of Botox used for cosmetic purposes, which was lower than doses previously used to treat migraines, Dover said.

To The Reader's Forum:
"My Grandma and Grandpa are terrorists?" Our grandchildren would get quite a chuckle if anyone said that about ys. Unless ... are chocolate chip cookies considered a weapon now? That would be because there doesn't seem to be much common sense any more.
We read, with a mixture of both anger and amusement, articles and letters slamming and demeaning the TEA Party members - some even calling us terrorists! How outrageous! We're concerned American citizens from all walks of life - your friends, family and neighbors. A recent letter listed those the writer considered "losers" in recent elections. One of those mentioned is Colonel Allen West - an honorable American patriot. His defeat was a loss both for Florida and the entire nation. Oh wait, we are supposedly racists and he is a black man. Hmmmm, could it be that what the individual STANDS FOR is (or should be) what is relevant when voting? The government and media have done their best to annihilate representatives like Ted Cruz and Mike Lee who took a stand against Obamacare, trying to at least delay it because it was considered to be a train wreck before it even rolled out. They have since been proven right - millions of American citizens are actually LOSING their health care. Statements that we are "against" women, the poor, the unemployed and those on Social Security are very misinformed!
The vast majority of TEA Party members are average American citizens who are fed up with political corruption and misuse of OUR (yours and mine, fellow citizen) money in all levels of government and by both parties. Some say we want to take away Social Security entirely - are you kidding me right now? Many of us ARE senior citizens or will be soon. We are actually deeply concerned about what is going to be there for future generations.
Against the poor and unemployed? We would like the poor and unemployed to be able to find jobs. Under our current mess, people are better off on welfare. That is nuts! Also, we are losing our freedoms that were fought for by our ancestors and our children will be working for and answering to our government and the "ruling elite" who will be in total control of every aspect of life.
Some say we don't believe in "government" (i.e. anarchy). Actually, we believe in our Constitution and are against the bureaucratic, bloated and corrupted nightmare government has become while we've been trying to live our lives and not paying enough attention (that is our job as citizens.
God bless America.

DULUTH, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) - Two juveniles will be charged Monday for the arson fire that caused $100,000 of damage at the Lester Park Elementary School playground.
The St. Louis County attorney's office says the juveniles will be charged with felony negligent fire and 5th degree arson, which is a misdemeanor.
Police say the kids were reportedly experimenting with fire, building what they called a "camp fire" with clothing and paper.
The kids told police they thought they put the fire out, but it smoldered for several hours before gaining enough heat to re-ignite.
It burned the playground to the ground and damaged the school.
The County attorney says the arraignment for the juveniles will be set within the next two weeks.

Two women have been mugged at this corner in the past few weeks. There is no street light and it is extremely dark. Someone hides in the shadows, waits for her to walk by and jumps her.
Today I went on a ride through the phone bank of the Department of Public Works. After seven or eight phone calls, I spoke to a man who stated that the DPW has installed TWO new street lights in the city in the past THREE YEARS.
If this is true, it's pathetic and unsurprising.

Fifty-nine minutes and 55 seconds of the Giants-Buccaneers game seemingly have been relegated to the dark recesses of our memory.
On the day after an exciting shootout, all anyone wants to talk about is the final five seconds and a play that should have been one of the few insignificant snaps in a 41-34 thriller. The Giants had all but clinched the victory, after a Michael Boley interception. Quarterback Eli Manning lineup up behind center and was ready to kneel down for the final play, but the Buccaneers weren't going to give up so easily.
In a move that head coach Greg Schiano said his players did at Rutgers, the Bucs' defenders put on a hard push, knocking Giants into Manning, but failing to cause a fumble.
Giants fans have spent the next 36 hours calling Schiano and his players a bunch of sore-loser cheap-shot artists. Bucs fans are saying it was a clean play, and why would they not try to get the ball back, down by just seven points?
Here's some of the comments, from Tampa Bay Online:
"Oh (Giants coach Tom) Coughlin is a big cry baby..."
"as long as time is on the clock there is time to win! don't lay down for nobody!"
"The Bucs did nothing illegal and played to win (by getting the ball back). Don't like it? Block the play and don't expect the Bucs to rollover for anyone! Go Bucs!"

Mohawk profit up 12% in Q3
October 17, 2003-- Home Textiles Today,
Calhoun, GA — Buoyed by strong growth in its Dal-Tile hard flooring business, and getting a further lift from lower costs and interest expense, third-quarter profits at Mohawk Industries Inc. jumped up by 12.4 percent, to $91.4 million from $81.6 million last year.
Sales at the diversified floor coverings and home fashions producer rose by 6.4 percent, climbing to $1.3 billion from $1.2 billion the preceding year.
A driving force behind sales and earnings growth was the company's Dal-Tile unit, acquired early last year, where sales shot up by 13.0 percent, to $335.8 million from $297.1 million last year, far outpacing growth in the core Mohawk carpet and home fashions business. Sales in the Mohawk segment grew by 4.3 percent, to $967.4 million from $927.3 million a year ago.
Fueling the bottom line growth, in addition to the stronger sales, were modestly stronger margins, and lower costs and interest expense. Average gross margin improved by 10 basis points, or one-tenth of a percentage point, to 28.0 percent from 27.9 percent last year. Operating costs were whittled down by 40 basis points, or four-tenths of a percentage point, to 15.8 percent of sales from 16.2 percent. Interest expense was pared by 13.8 percent, to $14.2 million from $16.4 million last year, generating a cash savings of $2.4 million.
Commenting on the Mohawk side of the business, Jeffrey Lorberbaum, president and ceo, said "The overall carpet industry is showing signs of improvement with the new home business continuing to lead other sectors within the carpet industry. We believe the other segments of the floor coverings industry are also continuing to experience strong growth in new construction."

The special season for hunting snow geese kicked off today (March 11) and extends to April 15.
The season is designed to put a dent in the migrating geese's population. The daily limit is 15 birds. The use of electronic calls (which are more effective than manual calls) are allowed. Also, there's no requirement to have a plug in your gun to limit the number of shots you can take.
I was out this morning with Jason Barnes, a well-known outfitter with Frontenac Fowlers, out of the Union Springs area. I'm writing a story for this Friday's Outdoors page about the outing.
Meanwhile, have a good snow geese recipe you'd like to share? Send it to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Patrick Mahoney and Kevin Warman are the two young gentlemen from Strongsville who are most definitely making a difference on the campus of Baldwin Wallace University after being elected as the student body president and vice president, respectively, for the 2013-2014 school year.
Patrick, Matthew and Marian's son, is a 2010 alum of Padua Franciscan High School and now, as a junior, is carrying a dual major in political science and international studies with a minor in Spanish.
Currently serving as this year's BW student body vice president, Patrick is also the chaplain of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and a student ambassador. Besides the aforementioned, he has also participated as the chair of the Student Senate Public Relations Committee, as a regional representative for the Office of Admissions, as a Big Brothers Big Sisters student coordinator, as an Inter-fraternity Council vice president of operations and was the recipient of the prestigious Alan H. Blumenthal Prize in Student Government last year (when does he study?).
Kevin is a 2011 Mustang grad and a BW sophomore with a triple major (wow!) in political science, sustainability and international studies and a minor in biology. He is currently a BW Center for Innovation and Growth Fellow, in the Honors Program, a member of the Amelia Harding House Sustainability Council, a Project Affinity Alumnus and has served as a teacher's assistant and the Student Research Director of Dining Hall Waste Audit.
I apologize, but the announcement I received about BW's future officers did not include the names of Kevin's parents, but no doubt they are as delighted as Patrick's are.
A standing ovation to you both, Patrick and Kevin, from everyone in your home town of Strongsville! Any dreams about doing the same in D.C.?
ARMY PHYSICIAN: Todd Bialowas has arrived at his new duty station at the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., where this 1983 Mustang alum holds the rank of not only captain, but that of doctor as well.
After leaving "Mustang Country," Todd pursued a college degree at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio where he was also a member of R.O.T.C. for four years and received his B. S. in economics in 1988. He had been a corpsman in the U. S. Navy for four years and then received additional training at Tri-C to become both a physician's assistant and a surgical assistant.
But, at one point, he considered becoming a full-fledged physician himself — and, he did!
He switched branches of the service, joined the Army and returned to school at Wright State University School of Medicine in Dayton, where he earned his official "Doctor" degree in 2008.
One of his brothers, Tim, kindly filled in some of the blanks for me over the phone, because the email I'd received had only teeny-tiny "tidbits." I learned that Todd's dad, Tod (only 1 "d"), is still a resident of Strongsville and besides Tim, his other siblings are Tony and Tammy.
Also, Todd's wife, Cathy, is also in the medical profession as a pediatrics trauma nurse. Perhaps, their son, Alex, will also pursue a career in medicine when he's older. Tim reports that Todd, with 13 years of Army service to add to his resume as an emergency medical and sports medicine physician, will be off to Afghanistan for a tour of duty in the near future.
All of Strongsville salutes you, Todd, for your dedication and perseverance to become a physician. And, we thank you for your service to your country with healing your fellow comrades and their families at your present duty station. Stay safe over there!
MASTERS' PROGRAM: Michael Sabo, a 2005 Mustang and an Eagle Scout from Troop 701, graduated from Ashland University in 2009 as an Ashbrook Scholar while carrying dual majors in science and history. With his AU diploma in hand, he had the honor of receiving the LSC Fellowship with the State of Ohio, working for a senator and then with Andy Thompson, an Ohio House of Representatives delegate.
And, because of his due diligence and hard work since earning his AU degree, Michael has been accepted into a new Masters' program at Hillsdale College in Michigan beginning this August. His anticipated graduation date is 2015 with a Masters' degree in politics.
His proud-as-can-be mom, Lynn, wrote that her son's Eagle Scout project had been 100 hours of work on our city's "Freedom Trail" in town. So, when you're walking this area in Strongsville, think about this young scholar and what he's already accomplished — and, will in the future.

WHITEHALL, MI – Muskegon County's largest industrial employer and the largest union along the Lakeshore have come to a five-year labor agreement that workers will vote on Tuesday morning.
Officials from Alcoa Howmet, the investment casting manufacturer of turbine parts in Whitehall, and United Auto Workers Local 1243 have been bargaining over a new labor agreement for the 1,100 union workers at Alcoa. The current agreement expires April 1.
Local 1243 members will gather at the L.C. Walker Arena Tuesday at 7 a.m. for a presentation on the new five-year contract and workers will vote before returning to work in Whitehall, according to local union President Leonard Lange.
"We are happy with this agreement," Lange said. "It offers our members salary raises and improvements in pensions."
Lange said that workers are being offered a $1,200 lump sum bonus to approve the contract and a 60-cent an hour wage increase the first year. There are other wage and benefit improvements throughout the other four years of the proposed agreement, he said.
Amy Heisser, human resources director for Alcoa Howmet in Whitehall, said the union and the company have had long-term agreements in the past that have worked out well. The union and the company extended a 2005 labor agreement for an additional five years in December 2008.
"We believe this is a good agreement," Heisser said prior to the union vote. "It is a fair and competitive deal."
Company officials said the tentative agreement continues the "evolution" of a multi-tiered salary and benefit program for employees depending upon when they were hired. The multi-tiered approach protects the benefits for those with longevity with the company and allows the company cost savings on those who are hired more recently.
Heisser said the tentative contract also includes an offer for an early retirement program. If approved by the UAW membership, the early retirement offer is expected to attract an estimated 75 employees, creating new job opportunities at the Whitehall operations, she said.
"We would be replacing those people," Heisser said of the expected early retirees. "We are hiring, as our book of business remains strong."
Alcoa Howmet began the year with the announced layoff of some 42 nonproduction, nonunion workers at the Whitehall operations. The move was part of an Alcoa-wide reorganization and reduction of employment levels. At the time, Alcoa Howmet had 2,060 employees in Whitehall.
In January, local officials with the company said the aerospace industry for both commercial and military jet engine parts produced locally remains strong. The local operation is a division of the New York-based global metals manufacturer that produces superalloys, aluminum and titanium parts.
The Whitehall operation's main customers are jet engine builders General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.

Aloha! This is the website of Alex Golub. I'm an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
My work combines two different, but connected streams of research: First, a study of social change and the mining industry in Papua New Guinea with a focus on the Porgera gold mine in Enga province. Second, I study the on-line video game World of Warcraft and how players bring the culture of their actual lives into virtual worlds. In both of these areas, I study how the politics of small group interaction are shaped by the cultural expectations of political actors. My book on the mining industry in Papua New Guinea, Leviathans at the Gold Mine, was published by Duke University Press.
A prolific blogger with over a decade worth of experience online, I'm one of the co-founders of savageminds.org, the most popular cultural anthropology blog on the Internet. I'm also a long-time advocate for open access publishing and I've examined its effect on scholarly communication.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - The Western Carolina Invitational will be the season opener for the UNC Asheville's cross country teams on Friday, August 31.
The Bulldogs will toe the line against a stiff field of competition, including teams from Gardner-Webb, North Greenville, Warren Wilson, Western Carolina, Winthrop, Florida, and Charlotte. The women's race will take place over the two-mile course at 6 p.m., and the men's 5,000-meter race will kick off shortly after, at 6:25 p.m.
After the recent news of UNC Asheville's preseason Big South Conference ranking of seventh on the women's side, head coach Jesse Norman doesn't shy away from putting a lofty goal in front of his runners, citing a new race philosophy and team work in recent practices.
"We're looking to win the meet. We have been having some good pack running in practice and I'm looking for that to continue at Western Carolina," said Norman. "We are changing our race philosophy a little this year, so we will also be looking at having everyone execute the plan."
Last year's Western Carolina Invitational was won by the University of Florida, scoring a perfect score of 15. The Bulldogs came in third place, scoring 71 points, while being led by freshman Adrian Etheridge in 12th place overall, crossing in 11:52.99 seconds. Last year's redshirted Emma Bussard, now a senior, and junior Melanie Kulesz, who also redshirted, should be an integral part of Asheville's front pack.
In the men's race, the Bulldogs' young squad of talented harriers, who recently garnered an eighth-place ranking in Big South preseason rankings, will be looking to gain experience, with a handful of the team seeing collegiate competition for the first time.
"The first couple of races will be our time to learn that everyone at the NCAA level is as good as or better than they are," Norman said. "Once that lesson gets learned in the first couple of meets, we will then be able to start focusing on placing high in meets and what that takes to move the team higher up within the conference."
The Bulldogs also opened up at the Western Carolina meet last year, and walked away in third place, with 80 points, behind Western Carolina's 45 in second, and the University of Florida took the victory with 15 points, putting runners in the top five spots. Sophomores Kevin Paradise and Aaron Martin placed ninth in 15:57.07, and 17th overall (16:47.71), respectively, to lead the Bulldogs.
Heading into this season opener, Norman shares his eagerness to get the season underway at Western Carolina as means to put a result, and build upon it.
"I'm just excited to finally get the season underway. The team is training hard right now, like every other team in the NCAA," Norman said. "The first race will be our first test of the season against a really good field, and it will only build in competitiveness as the season goes along."
Results can be found at www.slipstreamtiming.com after the completion of the meet, along with all other race information.

Scientists are assailing a federal report that claimed only 26 percent of the oil from the BP spill remains in the Gulf of Mexico, and now the report's leading scientist is backing away from from that rosy estimate.
Bill Lehr of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the lead scientist of the White House report, told a congressional committee that only 10 percent of the oil has been removed: 60 to 90 percent is still in the Gulf in some form.
That's a far more nuanced description, and sounds more like what other scientists are saying.
A group of scientists working under the Georgia Sea Grant Program released an alternate report this week that says 70 to 79 percent of the oil is still in the Gulf. While most of it is dissolved or in the form of dispersed micro-droplets, they say that doesn't mean it's harmless.
Also this week, scientists with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute released a peer-reviewed study of a 22-mile-long plume of oil droplets deep underwater and flowing southwest of the Macondo well. The scientists mapped the plume in June, and their work confirms that such plumes exist -- an issue that has been debated -- and that they are not the result of oil seeping from natural fissures on the sea floor.
The work of these scientists is helping to clarify what's going on in the Gulf and that's critical. A realistic picture of the gusher's affects is needed to determine the damage already done and the problems that remain.

Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma surgery is surgery to lower pressure inside the eye.
Reasons for Procedure TOP
It is done to treat glaucoma. The inside of the eye is normally bathed by a clear fluid. The fluid flows in and out of the front chamber of the eye. In most cases of glaucoma, this fluid flows too slowly out of the eye. The fluid builds up and increases the pressure inside the eye. If this pressure is not controlled, it can cause damage to the eye and loss of vision. This surgery is done to lower the amount of pressure in the eye. Decreasing the pressure may be needed to prevent further loss of vision.
It is important to note that while glaucoma surgery may save your remaining vision, it does not improve or restore sight.
Possible Complications TOP
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have glaucoma surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect TOP
Prior to Procedure
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to 1 week before the procedure.
Continue to use your eye drops, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
Arrange for a ride to and from the procedure.
Drops are used to numb the eye for the procedure.
Local anesthesia and sedation may be used for incisional surgery.
General anesthesia is used under some circumstances.
Description of the Procedure TOP
There are 2 common types of glaucoma surgery: laser and incisional.
Laser Surgery
The main types of laser surgery include:
Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT)
Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) is the most common type of laser surgery. It is usually used to treat open angle glaucoma. During this procedure, you will sit facing the laser machine. The laser "spot" will be applied to a special contact lens held on the front of the eye. You may see flashes of red or green light as the laser is applied. This procedure will allow more fluid to be released and relieve some of the pressure.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
The procedure is similar to ALT. SLT has the benefit of being repeatable. ALT cannot be done more than twice.
Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI)
Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is frequently used to treat narrow-angle glaucoma or to prevent glaucoma attacks in patients with anatomically narrow angles. Narrow-angle glaucoma occurs when the angle between the cornea (the clear structure on the front of the eye) and the iris (the colored part of the eye) is too small. This can cause the iris to plug up so that fluid cannot flow freely. This can cause the pressure to rise to dangerously high levels very quickly. In LPI, the laser will be used to make a small hole in the iris. The hole will allow fluid to flow more freely within the eye.
Cyclophotocoagulation is used to freeze the parts of the eye that make the eye fluid. This procedure is usually done only in people who have severe damage from glaucoma and for whom other surgeries were not successful. Instead of freezing, this procedure can also be done with a laser.
Incisional Surgery (also known as Filtering Surgery)
This surgery uses tiny instruments to remove a piece from the wall of the eye. This creates a small hole, which is covered by conjunctiva (layer around the eye). The fluid can now drain out through the hole. It will then be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. This reduces the pressure in the eye. In some cases, the doctor may place a valve in the eye through a tiny incision.
Glaucoma Implants
If the above methods fail, another option is the use of implants. With implant surgery, most of the device is positioned on the outside of the eye. A small tube or filament is carefully inserted into the front chamber of the eye. The fluid drains through the tube, or along the filament, into the area around the back end of the implant. The fluid collects here and is reabsorbed. This procedure is slightly more risky than standard trabeculoplasty and should only be performed by doctors well versed in the technique.
How Long Will It Take? TOP
The procedure usually takes less than 1 hour. People having the incisional procedure may need about 4-8 hours from the time of arrival until discharge.
Will It Hurt? TOP
For most people, the local anesthesia will block pain during surgery. There may be some burning or stinging with ALT and LPI. Some people report mild discomfort during the procedures. Incisional glaucoma surgeries tend to have more discomfort after the procedure than laser procedures.
Post-procedure Care TOP
At the Care Center
After the procedure, you may be given:
At Home
When you get home:
Call Your Doctor TOP
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

It sounds like such a beautiful thing, and don't get me wrong, it really is, but it can also be very tiring. For one thing, it is never ending. There is no graduation or certificate of accomplishment.
It has been a little over two years since I discovered what was then unthinkable and was launched onto a path of unwanted transformation. Just as the ball in the pinball machine gets bounced around seemingly out of control, so too have been my roles on this path of transformation. I played the part in this drama of my life as the victim, the martyr, the defendant, the prosecutor, the witness, even the judge. Bottom line, I am tired. I am tired of "my story" I am tired of being the one who got left, who was betrayed, who is always overcoming something. I am tired of all that goes along with that, anger, grief, sadness, doubt, tears, and fear.
December 1st feels like as good of a day as any to let go of "my story", to begin a new chapter tabla rasa. Today I get to begin the process of finding gratitude in even the toughest times recognizing that it is only through a crack light can shine. So, gratitude while not my favorite topic is what I will attempt this month to focus on.
What am I grateful for?
Discovery: In picking up the pieces of what felt like a shattered heart, I discovered a hidden strength within and a part of myself which is more gentle than not.
Love: While it pains me that my marriage ended, that my children are now part of a divorced family, that my ex-husband left for her, I know that Love existed. I know that the day we both said I do, we did so without reservation, with Love in our hearts and with the hope that it would remain this way forever. I know that our children were made from that space of Love and that through them, the Love is ever present.
Compassion: Not only do I find compassion for myself trudging this path unaware where it is taking me, but I find compassion for my ex. The gentle side of me gets that his choices were his, and that he, too is on a path of discovery. I have compassion for all that he "lost" as a result of his choices and look forward to finding peace with him no longer being part of "my story".
Time: It is true that time is one of the greatest healers. While I would not proclaim to be healed I will admit that my four year old chiming in at Thanksgiving dinner about the time "daddy called 9-11 on you" brought a smile to my face, not because the incident he referred to was funny, but because the recognition that with time, even the most tragic of times can be softened even humorous. Watching this unfold through the mouth of babes and noticing the change of my own reaction is evidence enough for me that time is a great healer.
Hope: Getting back out there (the dating scene) whiles not my most favorite thing to do, have opened my eyes. I get to experience different flavors to entertain my palate. I can say good-bye and remain hopeful for the next hello. My heart has not been closed; it has remained open to possibility.
So closing out the year I say Bring it on. If I were to offer a prayer it would be this. Transform me, make me giddy, patient, loving, might I create abundance, joy, and laughter. May my heart continue to knead forgiveness, might I BE LOVE!

While The Republican's coverage of the state auditor's report on charter school finances ("Western Mass charter schools report asset gap," Feb. 20) accurately portrayed the report's findings that nearly all public charter schools are financially sound, the story created a mistaken impression about the state of charter school finances.
Not only are we not flush with money, our funding is actually less per student than district schools. Using the same per-pupil funds as the district schools, public charter schools have to also secure our own facilities without funding from the Massachusetts School Building Authority, which pays for the bulk of public school construction in the state.
The relatively small fund balances referred to in the auditor's report are an essential component of securing these facilities. In addition, it should be noted that the amounts described as "budget surplus" were actually cumulative surpluses built over a number of years of fiscal planning and not the results of one year's activity.

Simple actions stop spread of disease As an emergency room nurse I still see some things that are common sense, but that people overlook to stop the spread of germs.
1.Wash your hands, especially when you are visiting friends/family in the ER. If your hands are unsoiled, use the hand-sanitizers in every room. Number one germ prevention. Don't be embarrassed to ask your healthcare giver if they have done the same; we won't get upset. We have hand-sanitizer dispensers surrounding us, and I have seen a number of my colleagues use them. This important practice can be missed once in awhile even by the best of us.
2. Don't bring your infants to visit the patient. I see people bring their infants, sometimes in numbers, into the ER. They are being expose to a lot that their little immune systems can't handle.
3. If you must bring your children, watch them. I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen children left unattended. They are found crawling on the floor, then putting their hands into their mouths, playing in trash, etc.
4. If you are battling a cold/flu, don't visit your friend with the sprained ankle; they will understand.
5. Use the hand-gel in the waiting room as you exit the ER. I am sure many more tips will arise from this letter - good! Let's stay as healthy as we can.
Valentine's Day story heart-warming tale Bravo, Bravo. An article on the front page of The Republican on Valentine's Day, "After 67 years, togetherness works," offered a lesson to all of us.
The genuine smiles on the faces of Harvey and Marjory Lafleur, of Chicopee, who are celebrating 63 years of marriage this year, showed what was inside both of them.
Both Harvey and Marjory declare themselves lucky at being together so long. If any of us put any thought into how they have stayed together, then we would come up with many reasons for their togetherness. Both give freely of themselves, continuing to volunteer at the senior center, never thinking of themselves, but of others and ways to help out.
In the article, there is no mention of how hard things are for them. They survived the Great Depression, complain little, and smile and are very thankful for all of the blessings they have received.
We might want to take a lesson from two people from the "Greatest Generation;" Be thankful for each day we're given.
Made in America' label hard to find Last week I saw a commemorative plate of our new president Barack Obama. I almost bought it but did not because it was made in China.
Do you remember when you could buy shirts, dresses, pants, shoes or a television that was made in America - not in China? Do you remember when our industry was the envy of the world? Do you remember when American labor unions won a 40-hour week and prohibited child labor?
All of these hard-won gains that American labor won have turned against us. We are losing millions of American jobs to China, Mexico and poor third world countries.
Greedy American companies have found that by using sweat shops, child labor and even prison labor they can maximize their profits. They are using cheap foreign labor and selling these goods to Americans. How else could a dress or suit that cost $2,000 be marked down to $50 and still make a profit?
Recently President Obama said that using American-made steel in our bridges would cause a trade war. Does he not realize that Communist China has already won this trade war?
Please buy products made in America. It could save your job.

Winning the creepy Annabelle doll from 'The Conjuring' is as simple as sending a Tweet
UPDATED: We are pleased to announce that Linda Vee Sado (@LindaVeeSado on Twitter) is the winner of the Annabelle doll contest, and will soon be welcoming the haunted doll to her house. You're very brave, Linda, and congratulations!
Normally, I would have posted all of the interviews we had for "The Conjuring" before the film opened last Friday, but a couple of things prevented that from happening.
First, we ended up with a whoooooole lot of James Wan in one seven-day period thanks to a press day they had for "Insidious: Chapter Two" in LA, and we decided to space the interviews out a little bit so as not to overload you guys. Second, Comic-Con. It might seem like there's no verb in that sentence, but trust me… "Comic-Con" encompasses whatever else I might say on the matter.
I am thrilled to see how well "The Conjuring" is doing, and not because I really care about numbers, but because I think this is an uncommonly good version of what a studio horror film can be, and I want to see them rewarded for not only making a very good movie, but also for selling it right. They have been carefully laying the groundwork for that opening weekend for most of this year, and it really paid off.
If you've seen the movie, then I'm sure you remember the early sequence where we see Ed and Lorraine discussing another case they investigated involving a doll named Anabelle. In real life, the doll was a Raggedy Anne doll, but unsurprisingly, the owners of that trademark thought it might not be a great idea for it to appear in a movie where it is possessed by a malevolent demon spirit. They designed their own version of the doll and then sent that doll out to a number of media outlets.
Mine has already been responsible for several nightmares in my house, even though Allen and Toshi haven't seen the film. Greg Ellwood has decided that he doesn't even want his in his house, and I'm sure the mysterious lights and the cold spots in the house and the midnight spectral apparitions have nothing to do with that. It's a complete coincidence.
The thing is, you can't just throw an Annabelle doll in the trash. It doesn't work like that. You have to find someone who becomes a willing owner of it, and that means we need to run a contest to see who's getting haunted ne… I mean, who wants this lovely collectible toy?
It's easy. All you have to do is re-tweet the tweet you see embedded below, and follow @HitFix. Both steps can be done from the embed.
Win this fun/creepy Annabelle doll from 'The Conjuring' http://t.co/cfzHQ9jZdX RT & follow @HitFix to enter. #bravery pic.twitter.com/k7IVhPQR5k— HitFix (@HitFix) July 26, 2013
On Monday, we'll announce the winner right here when we update this story. We will then rush to transfer ownership of the Annabelle doll to you, and Greg will have his apartment blessed. Repeatedly.
We are not responsible for any supernatural mayhem that may occur in your home or your life after we send you the doll, and under no circumstances are you allowed to send her back. Seriously. Greg's moving, so don't even try.
Have you seen her? Check this out:
See what I mean? That thing is like a hard plastic nightmare.
In the meantime, check out the interview I embedded at the top of this story. I sat down with director James Wan and with the real Lorraine Warren at a recent press day for the film. I suspect New Line is going to get at least two or three films out of this series, and Lorraine's got plenty more material to share with them. I look forward to seeing Vera Farmiga back in those high collars sometime in 2015.
"The Conjuring" is playing in theaters now.

If you haven't checked into the world of cellular gadgets since buying that Motorola (NYSE: MOT ) RAZR, you've fallen a bit behind.
Good old-fashioned cell phones are officially passe; long live smartphones, the new kings of the mobile device world! According to research firm Gartner, mobile devices as a whole saw a 8.6% decline year over year, but smartphone sales actually saw a 12.7% increase over the same period.
So while other electronics companies face pressure from consumers tightening their belts and going for more affordable options (e.g., Dell (Nasdaq: DELL ) and other computer builders seeing buyers opt for more affordable netbooks), smartphones are actually accelerating in sales versus their feature-light counterparts.
Before you vote on which company gives the best bang for your buck in the smartphone arms race, let's take a brief look at where the industry stands:
Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) -- The current market leader with an estimated 41% world market share. Nokia's not priced as aggressively as its competitors, trading at only 14 times trailing earnings, but it has struggled to maintain its dominant position against upstart competitors.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) -- Since Apple burst onto the scene with its iPhone, it's shown no signs of slowing growth. Its iPhone 3G S sold a million units in its first weekend earlier this month.
Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) -- Due in part to a promotion that gave consumers a "buy one get one free" offer on its Curve series, RIM has posted a series of strong quarterly results. However, even without promotions, RIM's traditionally business-user-focused phones have proven popular. A recent survey by ChangeWave Research found that more consumers planned to buy a BlackBerry than an iPhone.
Palm (Nasdaq: PALM ) -- Don't be fooled by the familiar name; Palm is playing the underdog. After years of sliding toward irrelevance, the company regrouped to release its Pre smartphone, which is essentially an all-or-nothing gambit. Initial reviews have been positive, but the company still faces an uphill battle against larger, more cash-rich competitors.
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) -- While Google doesn't build phones, its Android platform powers the G1 from HTC, and other phone makers, such as Motorola, are looking to build Android-powered phones.
Even after naming all these giants, there's still Microsoft's Windows Mobile platform and a host of other smartphone makers such as Samsung. After taking our poll, drop a comment below and let us know your thoughts.

Directors of Human Services Program Management in the United States tend to have a good amount of experience under their belt — just below three-fifths have more than 10 years in the field. While pay runs from $35K to $82K per year, median earnings come to $55K per year. Geography and tenure each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. Medical benefits are awarded to a large number, and the larger part earn dental coverage. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Female Directors of Human Services Program Management make up most of the survey respondents at 75 percent. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Directors of program management in human services oversee the administrative and day-to-day operations of human service departments for their organization. Their duties include organizing the employees needed for the life cycle of a project; ensuring employees' professional conduct in all relations with clients, third parties, and other employees; and making sure projects' revenue and budget goals are met. They also assist in the creation of program management plans and budgets, monitor employee progress (potentially including those in off-site offices), and delegate tasks to employees and third parties assigned to a program. Directors of program management in human services generally work full time in an office setting, although overtime may be required as deadlines approach. These professionals work in a wide variety of organizations across many different industries.Read More...
Directors of program management in human services positions generally require at least 10 years of related experience in applicable managerial and supervisory roles. They must also have proficiency with basic computer software, be able to present information to a variety of groups during informal or scheduled meetings, and have highly developed written and oral communication skill. At least 10 years of experience in working with public agencies and consultants - and a broad knowledge of the skills required for specific roles within a program - are also required or preferred. A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is frequently desired.

Directors of Human Services Program Management who go on to become Non-Profit COOs may see their salaries climb quite a bit. Median pay for Non-Profit COOs is $90K annually. Going from Director of Human Services Program Management to Non-Profit Executive Director is the transition that occurs most often in this field, where the paychecks are $60K. Many others choose to work as Licensed Clinical Social Workers, where pay is typically $51K.
Directors of Human Services Program Management who responded to the survey report just a handful of professional skills. Most notably, skills in Budget Management, Project Management, Grant Management, and Program Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 4 percent and 7 percent. The majority of those who know Budget Management also know Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Directors of Human Services Program Management, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $48K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $54K. For Directors of Human Services Program Management, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $56K. Directors of Human Services Program Management who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $62K.

Bristow Wants to Regain U.K. SAR Work
Aberdeen-based Bristow Helicopters is joining a consortium vying to secure a long-term contract for search-and-rescue helicopter services throughout the United Kingdom. The company lost an interim SAR contract to CHC Helicopter Corp. late last year after doing that work for more than 20 years. It has now joined with major helicopter providers FB Heliservices and Serco to pursue a 20-30 years' contract to take over SAR services now provided in part by the Royal Air Force and Navy by 2012.

At the turn of the century, Hank Tierney was an icon at Archbishop Shaw High School. Back then, it was a foregone conclusion he would spend the rest of his career in green and white, continuing to lead his Eagles to victory on Friday nights in the fall.
Fast forward nearly a decade and a half, and Tierney is still wearing green and white and leading teams to victories. However, as he enters his 29th season as a head coach, he does so as he has the past three: about 60 miles north in Ponchatoula.
If one was recently released from a time capsule and didn't know any better, he might casually glance at today's Tierney-coached team and think he was still seeing Shaw, still watching Mickey Joseph running the offense or Pat Riley coming up with a big sack or Kendall Bussey in the offensive backfield. If that guy from the time capsule shows up, let him know that's really Ponchatoula's Christian Campbell, Reggie Walker and Brian Rodgers.
And there's no wonder why Tierney feels like he's reliving the good ole days. It hasn't happened by accident. He teaches and coaches the same way he has since working at St. Joseph's in Gretna 40 years ago.
"Anywhere I have ever coached, we have tried to build a family environment. You don't develop a relationship with your players, and they don't feel like they can trust you, that they can count on you and that you are there for them unless you build that relationship," he said. "… We'll succeed or fail together as a family.
"I think if you ask them, they'd tell you that. We're trying to build kids with character and ones who will be productive when they leave here and have a great work ethic. That's enhanced if you win. … That's where we think we are right now."
Right now, Ponchatoula is coming off an 8-4 season in 2013 and a third-place finish in 6-5A and appears primed to nab a district title for the first time since the Wave moved up from Class 4A to 5A in 1995.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, his current players don't know much about how Tierney won 12 Catholic League championships in 19 seasons at Shaw, or how he took West Jefferson from 0-10 the season before he arrived, to 10-0 his second year. And they certainly don't know much about the players they're being compared to.
"Yeah, I heard of (Mickey Joseph), but I've never seen any film or anything like that," said Campbell, who was selected the All-District 6-5A quarterback last season and committed to Georgia Tech earlier this summer. "I know he was pretty good, so I take it as a huge compliment."
He should. Joseph, who went on to play at Nebraska, was dynamic and elusive. And when he needed to, he could throw a football with the best of them. At Shaw, he is seventh on the school's all-time rushing list with 2,455 yards in 2 1/2 seasons.
Last season, Campbell ran for nearly 1,700 yards and passed for almost 1,000. He was one of the state's top 10 overall rushers, and in Ponchatoula's opening-round playoff game against Haughton, a 56-55 victory in overtime, he carried 30 times for 269 yards and two touchdowns.
"I watched Christian in a freshman game against Mandeville three years ago run over a kid, turn the corner and go 60 yards. I knew right then and there I had something," Tierney said. "I had flashbacks of Mickey Joseph and Chuck Parquet, as soon as I saw him."
Walker, one of the state's top defensive linemen, is receiving plenty of attention from Southeastern Conference schools and said he will wait to make his decision. Tierney was quick to mention Walker in the same breath as Riley, who played at the University of Miami and briefly in the NFL.
Rodgers, who is coming off an ACL injury that took the entire offseason to rehab, said he's not sure who will rush for more yards between he and Campbell. That hasn't stopped him from setting lofty goals.
He's looking for 1,500 yards and 20 touchdowns, which certainly would put him in the category of a player like Bussey, an All-State running back at Shaw in the late 1980s who went on to play at Colorado.
Before last season not many outside of Ponchatoula ever heard of Christian Campbell. Those days are long gone. And while Walker and Rodgers might remain relatively unknowns when it comes to the casual fan, you can bet opposing coaches and players know their names well. Oh, and so do plenty of college scouts.
Campbell, who orchestrates Tierney's run-first offense to a T, loves playing for him, even if he doesn't know much about his past. Why should he? When Tierney left Shaw following a disagreement with school officials, Campbell wasn't even in grade school yet.
"He's a great coach," he said. "He has taught me a bunch of things I never would have learned if he wouldn't have come. He'll joke around, but when it's crunch time, it's time to get serious and he doesn't even smile."
But Tierney smiles plenty off the field. The 62-year-old is quite nostalgic and remembers the name of almost every player who suited up for him and quite often, their number. He has stories upon stories about each season, and loves to share them with anyone who'll listen.
He's not sure how much time he has left on the sideline, but he said he often feels like he did a quarter-century ago. That has a lot to do with this group of players, especially the seniors – the first class at Ponchatoula who have known only Tierney as their head coach.
It also has a lot to do with this talented trio. He often thinks about what it will be like when they have taken their final snap for the Green Wave.
"Without a doubt this is the closest I have been to any group of kids here," he said. "It's going to be hard for me and my coaches, as well. It'll be the same type of feeling I had at Shaw and even at West Jeff. It's going to be very hard, and that's the finality of the playoffs. Thirty-two teams, and in 2 1/2 hours there will be 16.
"It will be hard to do that, and with the expectations placed on this team, it will be even tougher because I know how hard they're going to be trying to succeed. … We've all done this together, and we talk about that all the time."

In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training & development is it is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee's ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee's attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training & development is determined by the employee's performance deficiency, computed as follows:
Training & Development need = Standard performance – Actual performance.
Training and development:
We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was stated earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand, is confined to theoretical learning in classrooms.
*Training refers to the process of imparting specific skills.
*Development refers to the learning opportunities & designed to help employees grow.
*Education is theoretical learning in classroom.
Though training and education differ in nature and orientation, they are complementary. An employee, for example, who undergoes training is presumed to have had some formal education. Furthermore, no training programme is complete without an element of education. In fact, the distinction between training and education is getting increasingly blurred nowadays. As more and more employees are called upon to exercise judgments and to choose alternative solutions to the job problems, training programmes seek to broaden and develop the individual through education. For instance, employees in well-paid jobs and/or employees in the service industry may be required to make independent decision regarding there work and their relationship with clients. Hence, organization must consider elements of both education and training while planning there training programmed.
Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow. Development is not primarily skill-oriented. Instead, it provides general knowledge and attitudes which will be helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towards development often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those supplied by management developmental programmers, are generally voluntary.
Human intellect and an overall personality of the employees.
Productivity – Training and Development helps in increasing the productivity of the employees that helps the organization further to achieve its long-term goal.
Team spirit – Training and Development helps in inculcating the sense of team work, team spirit, and inter-team collaborations. It helps in inculcating the zeal to learn within the employees.
Organization Culture – Training and Development helps to develop and improve the organizational health culture and effectiveness. It helps in creating the learning culture within the organization.
Organization Climate – Training and Development helps building the positive perception and feeling about the organization. The employees get these feelings from leaders, subordinates, and peers.
Quality – Training and Development helps in improving upon the quality of work and work-life.
Healthy work environment – Training and Development helps in creating the healthy working environment. It helps to build good employee, relationship so that individual goals aligns with organizational goal.
Health and Safety – Training and Development helps in improving the health and safety of the organization thus preventing obsolescence
Morale – Training and Development helps in improving the morale of the work force.
Image – Training and Development helps in creating a better corporate image.
Profitability – Training and Development leads to improved profitability and more positive attitudes towards profit orientation.
Training and Development aids in organizational development i.e. Organization gets more effective decision making and problem solving. It helps in understanding and carrying out organizational policies.
Training and Development helps in developing leadership skills, motivation, loyalty, better attitudes, and other aspects that successful workers and managers usually display.

SAGINAW, MI — In a playful tip of the cup, um, cap to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra will throw back some of the original mountain dew in its upcoming fundraiser, "Moonshine Sonata."
From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 12, revelers at the Temple Theatre can down moonshine drinks from the cash bar while bidding on hand-decorated moonshine jugs and other donated items, nibble on food prepared by the Savoy, Pasong's, Fralia's, Food 2611 and other local vendors and try their hand at Laser Shot, an interactive hunting game.
Eastside Mike and Friends will perform through the night, and you can even capture the moment at a country-chic photo booth. Just remember to wear your best pair of overalls for the occasion, said symphony President Dan McGee.
"Last year's 'Storage Wars' was so well-received, we hoped something else drawn from reality TV would be equally successful," he said. "That's what people are watching today, the hillbillies and rednecks, 'Duck Dynasty.'
"We did stop short of auctioning off a big, fat redneck wedding, though we have a lot of different things offered in the silent auction."
Along with a stay at a condo in Miami, you can bid on a CCW (carrying a concealed weapon) class, fly-fishing gear and bourbon tastings at a Kentucky distillery.
The whole moonshine idea has grown so popular, McGee said, that distilleries now offer a full line of different flavored variations on the backwoods brew, and Oppermann's Cork 'n' Ale will serve a few June 12.
And that free drink that comes with your $25 admission?
"We're serving it in a Mason jar," McGee said, chuckling. "You even get to take it home.
"We're holding it in the third-floor ballroom so you have this brilliance and savoir faire. We always want in include something creative, and in this case, it's the ceramic moonshine jugs."
Taking a cue from an even earlier fundraiser built around violins painted by local artists, the symphony again asked the arts scene to lend its talents. Among those participating were Susie McColgan, Steven Magstadt, Stephanie Szagesh, Robin Devereaux, Marcia Henne, Kelsey Byram, Paul Chaffee and Jared Hart.
"The jugs are sitting in my office right now, and they are beautiful," McGee said. "Our artists did a great job."
Tickets to "Moonshine Sonata" are available from a symphony board member, at the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra office inside the Temple Theatre, 203 N. Washington, and online at saginawbayorchestra.com.

Joanne Said:EARTHQuAKE!?
We Answered:Goto the following site, and enter your information using the decimal values
The first answer was in the Coral See, about 200 miles north of Port-Vila in the country of Vanuatu.
The second answer is in Lake Chelan National Recreation Area near Stehekin, Washington (Washington State)
Vanessa Said:How many state boundaries are completely defined by longitude and latitude?
We Answered:If it asks for boundaries completely defined by latitude and longitude, it means that state has no natural borders like oceans or rivers and that the boundaries run east/west and north/south only, no diagonals. The only states that have all straight boundaries are Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. Even New Mexico has a little bit of river for part of its boundaries.
Larry Said:Where am I if i go 20 degrees south latitude and 70 degrees east longitude?
We Answered:Your would be near Rodrigues Island, Mauritus, in the Indian Ocean.
Chester Said:Map reading questions?
We Answered:A scale of 1:250,000 means that 1 inch on the map corresponds to 250,000 inches on the ground = 3.9457 miles. The map should have latitude / longitude lines on it. If it doesn't, then you can use 1 degree latitude = 69 miles (approximately). To get a more exact number, you need to know the latitude.
1 degree of longitude = 69 miles at the equator, and 0 miles at the poles.

now there's Church on Facebook
Not to be confused with the book titled "The Church of Facebook" by Jesse Rice, as of this weekend, there will be two churches that are on Facebook, with their own Facebook apps, hosting worship services there — Flamingo Road Church and Northland Church. [links go to their Facebook apps]
From Flamingo Road Church's press release, "Church Streams Live on Facebook", via Outreach Magazine:
Many churches do live Internet services, but Flamingo Road Church is taking it to a whole new level with a social network application. Flamingo Road Church is utilizing the Facebook platform, but took it a step further and developed the first live interactive service video streaming to connect with its guests. … Flamingo Road Church is one of the leading churches that offer an "Internet campus" to their guests. Virtual church attendees can observe live services and simultaneously interact with Brian Vasil, Internet campus pastor.
In Northland's press release today, "Florida Congregation Plants Church in the 'Nation' of Facebook: Northland brings live worship to the social networking site's 400 million-plus residents", they mention the new Facebook app that's launching:
On Sunday morning, Northland, A Church Distributed will officially open the doors to its new Facebook app, which will allow worshipers to invite their Facebook friends to go to church with them—without leaving the familiar Facebook environment. Plus, even when live worship isn't happening, the opportunity for worship is readily available because the previous week's service will be posted and available for viewing 24 hours a day.
Good news for the Facebook residents! This does makes me wonder if there's anything in the water there in Florida that's fostering church innovations thousands of miles away from Silicon Valley …
