Meeting Reports for 2006
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Meeting on Space-Related Health Research
December 8, 2006 (historical)
Building 31, C Wing, 6th Floor, Conference Room 10
Opening Remarks
Dr. Elias Zerhouni, Director, NIH
Noting that Space Shuttle Discovery had been scheduled to launch on December 7, Dr. Zerhouni briefly described his experience when visiting Kennedy Space Center to view a shuttle launch and expressed his appreciation of the efforts and sacrifices involved in space exploration. The NIH and NASA have a strong history of collaborative activities, and many shared interests in the life and health sciences as they relate to space research. As research opportunities are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and budgets are becoming particularly constrained, however, the NIH, NASA, and other Federal agencies must explore new ways to develop partnerships that serve shared scientific interests. Furthermore, frequent interactions between NIH and NASA investigators will create an intellectual environment where unanticipated breakthroughs can occur.
Dr. Zerhouni emphasized the importance of identifying resources that could be better leveraged to facilitate space-related health research, as such resources will provide a foundation for future collaborative projects between the NIH and NASA. He also noted the importance of pursuing interdisciplinary research both on Earth and using facilities available through the International Space Station (ISS). As an example of NIH-funded research that could benefit space-related health research, he mentioned the national network of Nanomedicine Development Centers that was developed through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research.
Dr. Stephen Katz, Director, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, NIH
Dr. Katz emphasized that many Federal agencies have an interest in promoting health sciences research both on Earth and in space, and acknowledged representatives from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and U.S. Food and Drug Administration who were able to participate in the meeting.
The goals of the meeting were to:
- Share information about space-related health research interests and activities.
- Identify potential opportunities for collaborations to facilitate space-related health research.
He also noted that the presentations would inform discussions scheduled to occur in January at a NASA-sponsored meeting to explore opportunities through the ISS.
Dr. David Longnecker, Chair, Committee on Aerospace Medicine and Medicine for Extreme Environments, Institute of Medicine
Dr. Longnecker emphasized that the meeting was arranged to facilitate discussions about research that could take advantage of the truly unique environment provided by the ISS. The Congressional designation of the ISS as a National Laboratory provides an opportunity for new avenues of research, and potentially new funding for such research if the scientific community can present a cogent rationale for their proposed investigations.
Dr. Longnecker noted that much work needs to be completed in the life sciences area to support the President's Vision for U.S. Space Exploration. A National Academies of Sciences report, A Risk Reduction Strategy for Human Exploration of Space: A Review of NASA's Bioastronautics Roadmap, identified large "gaps" between the current research evidence and knowledge that is needed to support extended human space flight missions.
Dr. Harrison Schmitt, Chair, NASA Advisory Committee (NAC)
Dr. Schmitt emphasized that NASA Administrator Dr. Michael Griffin is particularly interested in space-related health research and would have attended this meeting had it not coincided with the scheduled launch of Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-116. He also emphasized the importance of the day's discussions to the future of human spaceflight and space settlement as well as to research on basic human physiology when it is stressed in the unique environment of space.
He reiterated earlier comments that NASA's efforts, including mission STS-116, provide access to a unique research environment in which scientists can study human physiology. He explained that research leveraging the opportunities of the shuttle program and the ISS, like those of earlier NASA missions, are essential if humans are to become a space-faring species. He called on the NIH and NASA to enter into a formal agreement to promote these efforts.
NASA/NIH Center For Three-Dimensional Tissue Culture
Dr. Joshua Zimmerberg, Chief, Laboratory of Cellular
and Molecular Biophysics, National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development, NIH
Dr. Zimmerberg's PowerPoint
Dr. Zimmerberg's presentation on the NASA/NIH Center for Three-Dimensional Tissue Culture set the stage for enthusiastic discussions throughout the day. The NASA/NIH Center for Three-Dimensional Tissue Culture was established at the NIH in 1994. The bioreactor, a gently rotating cylindrical tube, mimics microgravity conditions. By avoiding turbulence and shear forces that occur with normal mixing and the gravitational force that cells in culture dishes experience, cells in the bioreactor are able to form large spheres because they can grow in three dimensions.
Dr. Zimmerberg also described his experiences working with NASA astronauts, such as Dr. Carl Walz (in attendance), on the ISS and presented data showing that antibody production is suppressed in human lymphoid cells cultured on the ISS, compared with those cultured under static conditions on Earth. He noted that basic phenomena that researchers take for granted on Earth are different in space. For example, the lack of convection causes solutions to mix differently and reduction of partial pressures affect surface tension surrounding bubbles. Later, in the round robin, participants revisited technical challenges related to conducting research in a microgravity environment.
Current NASA Research Efforts In The Life And Health Sciences
Dr. Neal Pellis, Associate Director, Science Management,
Space Life Science Directorate, NASA
Dr. Pellis' PowerPoint Presentation
Dr. Pellis emphasized that the human element is the most complex component of mission design. NASA has developed a Bioastronautics Research Roadmap that outlines 45 major risks to human health in space exploration, and is developing a Risk Mitigation Analysis Tool to guide decisions.
In addition to biomedical considerations-such as health monitoring, medical support, radiation protection, and specimen collection-that must be built into current missions, establishment of a lunar outpost will require health care resources that include diagnostic testing, expanded life support systems, and countermeasures to compensate for the effects of low gravity on the musculoskeletal system. When planning multi-year manned expeditions to Mars, systems must be in place to allow the crew to be completely autonomous with regards to their health. Countermeasures against exposure to galactic cosmic radiation or solar proton events will become imperative.
At present, little is known about the effects of long-term space flight on human physiology, behavior, and performance. Gravitational forces on the Moon and on Mars are 1/6 and 3/8 of that of Earth, but no one knows how cells, tissues, and organ systems behave when exposed to these conditions for an extended period of time. Although bone density decreases at an average rate of 1 percent per month in microgravity, for example, with significant individual variation, the effects of fractional gravity are unknown.
Related Discussion
Many issues presented by Dr. Pellis were brought up during the round robin. In the discussion immediately following the presentation, Captain Frederick Hauck and Dr. Schmitt commented on the effects of microgravity on eye-hand coordination. Dr. Schmitt noted that preventing lunar dust from contaminating moon-based equipment and living areas presents an engineering challenge, as it is pervasive and electrostatically active; it also causes respiratory problems in some people.
Research Opportunities Using The International Space Station
Mr. Mark Uhran, Assistant Associate Administrator,
International Space Station (NASA)
Dr. Uhran's PowerPoint Presentation
Mr. Uhran provided a brief overview of opportunities provided by the ISS, especially in view of its designation as a national laboratory. As noted by others throughout the day, the microgravity environment of space is a unique resource for studying molecular motion. Studies conducted in space will provide insight into how cells behave in the absence of gravity, and the microgravity environment may be advantageous for biomedical research activities such as growing protein crystals for structural analysis and engineering new three-dimensional tissues.
ISS laboratory space, data processing, and crew time will be available for researchers who are interested in having research conducted on the ISS once it is fully operational in 2011. He emphasized that that it is not too early for NIH intramural researchers and those extramural investigators supported by NIH to begin proposing studies and arranging with NASA to have them conducted on the ISS. Commitment of ISS physical resources will be made on a first come, first serve, basis through strategic alliances to advance research in biomedicine and biotechnology. Such arrangements can be established through inter-agency memoranda of understanding. Although NASA would prefer that the research would be related to NASA mission needs, direct application is not essential.
Related Discussion
Mr. Jeff Bingham, staff for the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, explained that The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-155) provided Congressional endorsement for NASA efforts to implement the President's Vision for Space Exploration while ensuring that NASA also supports aeronautics research and development, robotic missions, and Earth, space, and microgravity science. Congress is committed to making sure that America's investment in the ISS is used wisely and, by designating the ISS a "National Laboratory," the Congress was emphasizing that the U.S.-funded modules on the ISS will be available for use by other entities in addition to NASA.

Current and promising areas of space-related health research
Building on points made earlier about the need to provide health care to astronauts on extended space missions, Dr. Pettigrew described NIBIB research efforts to develop tools for image-guided surgery, biological sensors that can detect pathogens, and devices that can measure glucose levels non-invasively. Dr. Sutton noted that long-distance diagnosis and monitoring technologies (including remotely guided ultrasound) also are being tested by NSBRI investigators. Representatives from NIST, the USDA, and several NIH institutes also expressed an interest in technologies that could be applied to space-related health research or the health of humans in space.
Round robin presenters, like the participants who spoke earlier, emphasized the importance of understanding how biologic activities are affected by micro- and low-gravity. Processes mentioned included:
- Blood flow and the cardiovascular system (NSBRI, NIA).
- Bone and muscle loss (NSBRI, NCRR, NCI, USDA, ODS, NIA, NIAMS).
- Cellular and molecular repair processes (NIEHS, NCI).
- Embryogenesis, central nervous system development (NIEHS, NICHD, NIAMS).
- Endocrinology (NCRR, NIA).
- Immune function (NCRR, NCI, NIA).
- Stem cell activity and tissue regeneration (NCI, NIAMS).
Dr. Battey noted that, like the NSBRI, the NIDCD is interested in spatial orientation and cognition, vestibular adaptation under various conditions (including micro- or low-gravity), and how the brain compensates for lost vestibular input. Other entities interested in human performance include the OBSSR, NIDA, and FDA. For example, the FDA specifically is interested in effects of motion sickness and its countermeasures on mental-spatial tasks.
Dr. Schrager also stated that some of the physiologic effects of space travel (e.g., altered hemodynamics, decreased cardiac muscle performance, increased transit time of food through the gastrointestinal tract) may change the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of drugs. Studies of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic alterations that occur during prolonged space travel may be able to be performed aboard the ISS, and the FDA has considerable expertise in pharmacological science could serve as a potentially valuable resource to NASA in the design of such studies. Understanding metabolic changes that occur during space travel was of particular interest to many participants, including those who had mentioned that medical or dietary interventions may be needed to maintain bone health, prevent damage caused by oxidative stress, or allow astronauts to maintain a regular sleep cycle.
Existing resources
Participants identified numerous resources in addition to ISS accommodations and the NIH/NASA Center for Three-Dimensional Tissue Culture that Mr. Uhran and Dr. Zimmerberg, respectively, described earlier. Other physical resources included:
- The NASA KC-135 Low-G Flight Research aircraft.
- Human centrifuge resources at the NIH General Clinical Research Center in Galveston, Texas, and elsewhere.
- USDA Agricultural Research Service Hydrology and Remote Sensing Laboratories, its Food Safety Intervention Technologies Research Unit, and the Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.
- NIST Advanced Measurement Laboratory, Advanced Chemical Sciences Laboratory, and Center for Neutron Research.
Dr. Hatchett noted that NIAID low-LET radiation exposure facilities may also be of use, because chronic, low-dose, low-LET exposures can result in health effects similar to chronic high-LET exposures. Dr. Hatchett, along with presenters from the ODS, NIA, and NIAMS, also mentioned animal models that could be relevant to space-related health issues. Dr. Hodes and others described population cohort studies such as the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, and Dr. Dearry from the NIEHS highlighted the NIH Gene-Environment Initiative and other databases to connect environmental exposures and health effects.
Several presenters noted that their colleagues have various areas of expertise that may be valuable to space-related health research. For example, NIST contributed expertise in cryogenic technologies for development of a prototype of equipment to liquefy oxygen produced from the carbon dioxide atmosphere on Mars. Dr. Tuan emphasized that the Cartilage Biology and Orthopaedics Branch of the NIAMS has a consortium of biologists, engineers, and surgeons who have experience in instrumentation design and prototype development, biomaterial scaffold production, adult stem cell technologies, and mechanical testing. The NSBRI has a cadre of top-tier academicians who are working in partnership with NASA at all stages of the research and development, testing, evaluation, and operational integration process. Moreover, the NSBRI, USDA, and NIH have infrastructures to solicit, review, and award research grants. Dr. Schmitt remarked that, in the early 1980s, he had assisted the senior leadership of the NIH in developing an informal proposal to NASA for the latter to tap NIH expertise for the solicitation, topical organization, and review of applications. This proposal was not of interest to NASA at the time, however; he suggested that NASA and NIH leadership revisit that discussion.
Throughout the day's discussions, the former astronauts present (Schmitt, Hauck, and Walz) provided information and answered questions relevant to their personal physiological and psychological experiences during spaceflight. The interaction of persons with spaceflight experience with researchers and managers at future discussions should be facilitated. A means also should be found to make actual past and future spaceflight medical data, as well as anecdotal information, available to a broader spectrum of the research community.
Next Steps
Participants agreed that collaborations could occur when interests coincide. They discussed the possibility of talking to one another while developing initiatives so that space-related health research could be incorporated into requests for applications or program announcements, as appropriate, and emphasized that steps should be taken to notify NIH, National Science Foundation, and NSBRI investigators of research opportunities that will be available through the ISS. NAC members will contemplate possible synergies between NIH and NASA interests when discussing research opportunities available through the ISS in January. Dr. Schmitt suggested that the agencies consider forming a series of working groups, modeled after the on-going Federal Working Group on Bone Diseases, for periodic interagency coordination and information sharing. And, at the next NAC meeting in February, Drs. Katz, Longnecker, and Schmitt will brief Administrator Griffin about this discussion as well as consider a next step to propose to him, Dr. Zerhouni, and other agency heads.

For ATL Sims has character concerns and we do not target players like that and I don't think we go for a DE. And IF we did it would have to be in round 1.
Go Eifert and BPA at CB, RB, or DT in round 2.

Cowboys haven't used a first round pick on a Guard in over 30 years - infact the only offensive lineman they've used a first on was a Franchise LT. I'd look elsewhere for them in the first and go Guard in the 2nd.

Not a Fluker fan for Seattle, but you gave us Kawaan Short in round 2, which I
, so the Fluker pick doesn't bother me that much. What I don't like is waiting until round 3 to take a WR. That would be disasterous! Our WR's stink! That is by far, our #1 need.

Great 1st round pick. Couldn't ask for a better pick. I hate the 2nd round pick though. Vaccaro reminds me of former Texas DB and current Titans safety Michael Griffin. Their both horrible in coverage and soft. Vaccaro should not even be considered that high. Tony Jefferson, Robert Lester, or Jonathan Cooper would be way better picks.

Love Geno!
I don't know anything about Logan Ryan, but CB is a really big need and needs to be addressed at the top of the 2nd baring no freefall from a top prospect.
Great job!

Launched in 2014, this project will review the cost effectiveness of tax and other financial incentives, as well as assess the more efficient ways of using public money to increase savings for retirement, retirement income and replacement rates. The project will take into account the distributional impact of various measures and will examine alternative means of encouraging saving in complementary private pension plans other than current tax advantages.

Rory McIlroy came from three shots behind Sergio Garcia at the start and won his first World Golf Championship on Sunday, taking the title in the $9 million Bridgestone Invitational by two shots over Garcia.
McIlroy, who captured his third major at the British Open two weeks ago, birdied the first three holes at Firestone Country Club to grab the lead as Garcia bogeyed No. 3.
"What I'm really proud of is following up the Open with a performance like this," McIlroy told CBS. "It's great to come to one of my favorite tournaments and perform like this."
The Northern Ireland-born McIlroy virtually won the tournament on the front nine, with birdies on four of the first five holes, against one bogey at No. 8. He needed only one birdie the rest of the way, at No. 11, to hold off Garcia.To read more or comment...

Dustin Johnson's leave of absence from the PGA Tour annouced by his agency Thursday is because of a six-month suspension levied by the tour after he tested positive for cocaine, Golf.com reported Friday.
According to a Golf.com source, Johnson failed three drug tests – for marijuana in 2009 and two for cocaine in 2012 and this year. The web site said Johnson was suspended in 2012, but the penalty was never made public.
The tour has a policy in regards to drug testing, but is not required to announce discipline against players found to have used recreational drugs.
The PGA Tour disputed Golf.com's report with a statement on Friday from executive vice president Ty Votaw. Votaw said Johnson stepped away voluntarily.To read more or comment...

I think that is a result of some dangerous half knowledge. It's like with a companie's president you try to explain to what switches are and how they work. They have no real understanding of what's going on but they heard something about it somewhere.
Why I say that?
I think some stuff got mixed up in the process in trying to understand what's going on.Those activities include port scanning, hijacking computers, and the compilation and publication of Whois lookups without authorization from Network Solutions

LION KING! Guess who my celebrity parents are?!
Listen to Wiz Khalifa on iHeartRadio
Guess who this little adorable cub belongs to…
It's none other than baby Bash, aka Sebastian, Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose's little five-month old son. How precious is this costume? Wiz and Amber had a Halloween party last night with a few celebrity friends and the pair went all out.
Amber Rose was a Victorian era queen while Wiz played up the undead with his green face and baseball uniform. Miley Cyrus also went all out for the party, dressing up as Lil Kim.
But Baby Sebastian stole the show by far with some good ol' animal adorableness.

Topic: Flatulence!!
My Mum wants to know if any other CC patients suffer from excessive wind!! I told her it's her age!! But has anyone who has had resection noticed a difference in their digestive system in this way??!!

My Mum wants to know if any other CC patients suffer from excessive wind!! I told her it's her age!! But has anyone who has had resection noticed a difference in their digestive system in this way??!!
Hi Kate ,
When I had my liver resection amd gall bladder removed It was months before I had some type of normalizaion. Even today it really depends on what I eat or to much of causes wind/indigestion. with her gall bladder gone that alone could possibally change the rate of digestive enzymes flow. This is just my thinking out loud. Probally good Idea to search the net for ???????. Hope your Mom is doing as well as can be expected. I start round two Oxy and Xeloda tomorrow. Just a smaller dosage this time hopefully not have the reaction as last time.
Jeff G.
I reckon it's partly her age.........plus it runs in the family!!:)
Jeff, best of luck with your treatment, hope it's more tolerable than the last round!
Mum and I are off to London today to the liver unit at University College Hospital, to see a Mr.Webster. We'll take all her notes with us, and CT scans from Greece. Not sure if she'll have tests today, or if it's just a consultation. Whatever. It will be good to get another opinion. She's doing fine at the moment!
Good luck to you, lots of love!
Post gallbladder removal, my husband has experienced what can only be described as resonant and long-lasting flatulence episodes.
Since the surgery, I am definately a cutie pa-"tootie". Wind, wind, wind--both belching and flatulance. I have completely lost my embarrassment over it and just let it rip--much to my husbands chagrin. Sometimes I forget that I am in public which has had both of us rolling on the floor laughing. For me, if I am in a hurry and I walk really fast I seem to "activate" their production. Some foods are also a trigger, but even without running or eating the trigger foods, i am full of hot air!
ME TOO!! I tell my son it's payback time, for all the times he would fart in line at the grocery store, then look at me with a disgusted expression and say "MOM, that's gross!"
Yes, I think it's part of the process when our digestive system is disrupted so completely.
It's a constant companion but if you consider the alternative it's almost a friend.

The vine and its wild grapes
After this the Spirit of God begins to plead with the people, taking two distinct grounds -- namely, that which God had done for His people, and the coming of Jehovah in the Person of Christ in glory. Had the people made a suitable return to the care which Jehovah had lavished upon them? Were they in a condition to receive Jehovah in their midst? Chapter 5 takes up the first question, which addresses itself to the responsibility of the people, in view of the care and the government of God. What could He have done for His vine that He had not done? It has produced Him but wild grapes. He makes known the consequences of this according to His righteous government. His hedge, the protection with which He had surrounded it, shall be taken away, and it shall be left a prey to the ravages of the heathen. God, in pleading with Israel, shews them their sins in detail. Then His hand is stretched forth against His people, and terrible judgments fall upon them. Nevertheless, "His anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still." He will bring mighty strangers against them, whose progress nothing can arrest, who will carry the people into captivity. There shall be sorrow and mourning in the land, and the light of their heavens shall be darkened. In the first instance this will be Nebuchadnezzar, and even Sennacherib but still more fully will it be the nations that come against Jerusalem in the last days, and capture it, after having overrun and invaded all the land. We shall have the details of this farther on.Synopsis by John Darby

What is Friends of Scouting, and why is it so important to contribute to the annual Friends of Scouting Campaign?
Two great questions! Friends of Scouting (FOS) is the annual giving campaign of Columbia-Montour Scout Council and provides the necessary funds to ensure a quality Scouting program for youth. More specifically, by supporting FOS, you help keep:
- The cost of Council camps affordable
- Support camperships
- Camp Lavigne operational
- The promise of a quality Scouting experience to your son or daughter and others in Scouting
There are three FOS campaigns each year: the Family Campaign (by far the largest), the Executive Board Campaign, and the Business Campaign. Each is vital to the programs and services of the Council. The money raised through the annual FOS campaign offsets the cost of training Scouting leaders, operating the Council camp and service centers, and providing other resources to Cub Packs, Scout Troops, Varsity Scout Teams, and Venturing Crews throughout the Council.
Help keep Scouting strong by participating as a Friend of Scouting. Thank you for your generous support!

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious disorder in which the proteins that control blood clotting become over active.
Consumption coagulopathy; DIC
When you are injured, proteins in the blood that form blood clots travel to the injury site to help stop bleeding. If you have DIC, these proteins become abnormally active throughtout the body. This may be due to inflammation, infection, or cancer.
Small blood clots form in the blood vessels. Some of these clots can clog the vessels and cut off blood supply to organs such as the liver, brain, or kidneys. Lack of blood flow can damage the organ and it may stop working.
Over time, the clotting proteins in your blood are "used up." When this happens, you have a higher risk for serious bleeding, even from a minor injury or without injury. You mlay also have bleeding that starts on its own. The disease can also cause healthy red blood cells to break up when they thravel through the small vessesl that are filled with clots.
Risk factors for DIC include:
You may have the following tests:

Change is hard. Our brokenness runs deeper in us than we wish, but so does our capacity for growth and change. My Christian perspective gives me a helpful frame for grappling with and understanding this tension: It gives me great compassion for how challenging it can be (due to our brokenness) to grow and change, and it also gives me great hope for each person's innate ability to change (because of God's protecting within us the capacity for healing). I would be honored to help you deepen your faith as you wrestle with God, your brokenness and your untapped capacity for change. And in so doing help you to become more whole, more free, more the person God created you to be.

Please bear in mind I am a novice - EXTREME novice so I may be asking a very simple, stupid question. If so forgive me.
I have what I think is a simple script that I use on my website to disable the use of right click to copy images etc. It works in IE but not Firefox.Here is the script
var message="Thank you for visiting my site.\\Copying text and images is disabled on this page to protect Copyright. \\However if you want permission to use text or images please email me.\\This Site Copyright ©2011.";function click(e) { if (document.all) { if (event.button==2||event.button==3) { alert(message); return false; } } if (document.layers) { if (e.which == 3) { alert(message); return false; } }}if (document.layers) { document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN); }document.onmousedown=click;
I have read somewhere that the document.all and document.layers do not work in Firefox. If this is the case how so I achieve this in Firefox.
That code is aimed at IE4 and Netscape 4 browsers - it doesn't contain anything for more modern browsers that no longer use document.all and document.layers. It will work in some but not all of the more recent versions of IE but only if the browser security is set incorrectly.
This script will work unless disabled by user option.
It has the advantage of working only when images are right-clicked, otherwise allowing the context menu.
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function( imgStr ) /** No right click ON IMAGES ONLY **/
function installHandler( obj, evt, func )
window.attachEvent ? obj.attachEvent( 'on' + evt, func ) : obj.addEventListener( evt, func, false );
function noImg( e /*2843294C6F676963416C69*/ )
if( /^(IMG|AREA)$/.test( ( e.target || e.srcElement ).nodeName ) )
if( imgStr )
alert( imgStr );
e.preventDefault ? e.preventDefault() : e.returnValue = false;
installHandler( document, 'contextmenu', noImg );
})( "To use images, please ask owner\\'s permission." ); /** <-- Place your warning message between quotes or to display no message, leave as "" **/
Thank you very much! This works great.Does anyone know how I can stop the text being copied as well?I've had half my site ripped of by someone else and as I put a lot of effort into developing it I don't want someone else doing the same thing again.I know that you can override it in the browser settings but at least it's will stop the none savvy!
It will definitely encourage those with a slight knowledge of how their browser works to steal your content just because they think that they are clever because they know how to bypass those trivial blocks. If they actually reduced the amount of theft then the major sites would implement that type of code but if anything it has the opposite effect.
Thanks for your help - will look at maybe buying some software to protect my source.One I've found is HTMLGuard. Do you know if this is ok or is there a better one?
Personally I wouldn't bother with HTMLGuard, it's quite easy to bypass the code obfuscation they use just by downloading the supposedly encrypted page "Sample" I was able to view it and do copy-and-paste by just editing two characters making it totally useless.
I can override any image blocking by merely tapping my PrtScn button, which captures the screen as an image, then opening it up in Photoshop and cropping it. These right-click scripts don't work for those who really want to get the image.
You can't stop someone from going to your page in the browser and hitting Edit > Copy, and copying the entire page to their hard drive, then opening that page in Notepad or TextEdit and editing it.
Nowadays you can even highlight a PDF and copy the text, so PDF isn't the answer, either.
The problem is that programs that will undo everything that programs like that one do to try to "protect" your page are easy to obtain - they are available as free downloads from many different web sites - they are called "web browsers".
See http://www.felgall.com/net3k.htm for a series of articles I have written about web page protection. You can get all the various "protection" that is available from there at no charge (where some of the other equivalents will cost you several hundred dollars). You will also find there the much easier to implement scripts that will bypass all the "protection" of ALL programs that produce content that can be displayed in a web browser. So if you must annoy your legitimate visitors by implementing useless protection at least you will not have spent any money on it.
Thanks Steve - looks like I have some bedtime reading to do! As a newby - you may well end up getting lots of questions though!!!

As of Feb. 28, all 14 fire departments in Levy County are on the new radio system, according to information released at the March 4 County Commission meeting.
Now that the radios are being used, a monthly fee begins. The provider, Williams Communication, is waiving the fee until April.
Dick Tummond, assistant to the county coordinator, requested $12,264 from the county to pay the monthly per-unit fee for 143 radios for the months of April through September. Commissioners voted 4-0 to authorize the payment, which pays the fee through the end of the current fiscal year.

Mother's Day: Celebrating Women Who Make a Difference
A message from Rose M. Littlejohn, Board President, and Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO
This Sunday is Mother's Day in the USA, a celebration of women who play a critical and central role in supporting and nurturing girls and enabling them to reach their full potential.
Over the past 100 years, mothers have played a pivotal role in building Girl Scouting into the successful movement it is today. They are helping to make Girl Scouting possible (and we do recognize and give due credit to the growing number of fathers who are joining the Girl Scouts).
Mothers make up a large percentage of our more than 9,000 volunteers who lead our troops, and make certain that the 26,500 New York City Girl Scouts from every corner of the city can participate in our programs, build leadership skills, improve their communities, and develop the courage, confidence and character that will enable them to become tomorrow's leaders. Most importantly, they are role models who instill in our girls the values that define Girl Scouting. They teach their Girl Scouts about the importance of hard work, the value of an education, the strength of leadership, and the power of community…they have been doing this in New York City for the past 100 years.
This Mother's Day, we celebrate a century of women who inspired their daughters, their Girl Scouts, to make the world a better place.

Do fans still like Chief Wahoo?
(Cleveland) A survey sent out on Wednesday to single ticket and season ticket holders by the Cleveland Indians asks several questions about the team's logos, uniforms, and branding. The question that's gained the most attention asks fans their feelings about the Chief Wahoo logo.
Cleveland Indians Spokesman Jason Hammond says amid the recent controversy in other states concerning team logos with Native American themes, he can understand why the question is making waves, but it's not intended to, "obviously, all of our logos, all of our marks, Chief Wahoo was included".
The survey includes 25 questions, the Chief Wahoo question is one of them. Other questions include how fans like the light blue pitching uniforms. The results of the survey will not be published, they'll just be used by the Cleveland Indians organization as a way to better improve fan experience at the ballpark.

Electric Zoo Festival returning to NYC with more security
The Electric Zoo Festival is headed back to New York City, but this time with additional security and health measures.
Last year's event was cut short following two drug-related deaths, but organizers announced this week that the festival will be held on Randall's Island once again this summer.
The 2014 edition will now include drug-sniffing dogs at all entrances, as well as more plainclothes security officers specializing in narcotics patrolling the festival grounds.
Organizers say they're also shortening the length of each day's show and plan to provide free water and cheap electrolytes for dehydrated attendees.
Festival-goers will also have to watch a drug safety video before their tickets are validated. The clip is part of Electric Zoo's "robust PSA campaign" that will reportedly include leading artists. This year's festival is scheduled to take place August 29th through the 31st.
In a press release, co-CEOs of Made Event and creators of Electric Zoo Mike Bindra and Laura De Palma say, "We are incredibly excited to bring Electric Zoo back to New York. Over the past five years, Electric Zoo has grown tremendously, becoming a critically acclaimed, internationally recognized music festival. The opportunity to again host Electric Zoo on Randall's Island is a responsibility we take seriously, and we look forward to expanding our safety and security measures in order to further improve the concert experience for our fans."
Electric Zoo announced that tickets will go on sale for the festival on Tuesday, April 29th. The festival lineup is expected to be announced in the coming weeks and months leading up the festival along with a comprehensive guide to the festival to help assist attendees.

Triathlon group sues World Triathlon Corp. over canceled event in Prince George's County
Washington Sports and Event Management LLC, producers of the Nation's Triathlon, have sued the World Triathlon Corporation for defamation stemming from the abrupt cancelation of the Ironman 70.3 National Harbor race that had been slated for August.
In early May, word began leaking out that the inaugural race, first announced in January, would be canceled due to lack of interest. In public statements at the time and since, the Tampa-based triathlon group has said WSEM cancelled the event.
But in a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in D.C., WSEM says it had nothing to do with the decision to cancel. According to attorney Matthew August LeFande, the cancelation was the decision of a separate entity that had been created to handle the higher-risk initiative to create the National Harbor event from scratch, not WSEM.
WSEM and the separately created group have common owners and executives, he acknowledged, but the corporate distinction is meaningful.
"If you enter into a business relationship with one company, and don't like the way it worked out, you don't malign the other company you don't have a business relationship with," said LeFande, a solo practice lawyer in Arlington. "There has to be some respect for the corporate form."
WSEM is seeking at least $75,000 in punitive and actual damages as well as a judicial order stopping the Florida group from repeating its claims. It claims the false blame has been repeated numerous times in various media.
A World Triathlon Corporation representative did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
In February, WSEM sold the Nation's Triathlon to the Competitor Group Inc., but remains a local producing partner.

text: I most recently saw his fight against an opponent (name I don't recall), SHOWTIME K1 rules. An absolute (3round) war. This guy is getting better. He lost to Schilt in the MAX finals, but other than that, I consider him to be a top 5 heavyweight this coming year. Brutal fighter who favours excessive (low) kicks, tight guard, working close and finishing people. I would give my teeth to see him Vs Hari.

A bushfire which burned close to homes in an outer Melbourne suburb has been brought under control.
An emergency warning was briefly in place for Pakenham, in Melbourne's south-east, as three blazes - a bushfire, a grassfire and a car or gas bottle fire - threatened homes in the area on Thursday afternoon.
Fire crews were able to contain the bushfire, and downgraded the warning to an advice message.
Residents were warned of heavy smoke in the area.
In the state's east, campers were moved out Baw Baw National Park as a 250-hectare bushfire burned out of control in state forest between the Gippsland towns of Walhalla and Aberfeldy.
The CFA says no homes are under threat from the blaze, but crews are working to save a number of unattended buildings, including Toombon Pub.
Victorian Fire Services Commissioner Craig Lapsley said the fire's remote location meant it would take some time to contain.
"It'll continue to burn tonight and tomorrow," he told Network Ten.
"We've got significant aircraft resources on it, but we are planning for that to be a couple of days as a fire fight."
The Kentbruck fire in the state's southwest continues to burn in 11,964 hectares but it has been under control for some days.
The temperatures peaked in the high 30s to low 40s for much of Victoria on Thursday, and parts of the state won't have any relief until Friday night.
A total fire ban has been declared for the West and South Gippsland, north east, northern country and East Gippsland districts for Friday.

Watch the countdown to UFC 156: Aldo vs. Edgar here on The Fight Lounge.
Watch the countdown to UFC 156: Aldo vs. Edgar here on The Fight Lounge.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
Cant fuckin wait for this fight. Always said I will never back against Frankie again after the Bj and Gray fights, BUT, can see him getting KO'd or Tko'd!!! Aldo will possibly even have the speed advantage in this, definately has the power and can utilise all eight cylinders far better than edger. And if he hurts Frankie in the way that Gray did, he'll finish him quick and not let him off the hook.
2 great fighters though and is a great headline for any card
I can honestly say I have never once watched a UFC countdown show. I watch too much MMA as is. I don't need to watch another hour that is promoting something that I am going to watch anyways.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
I scored it 48-48 (10-9, 10-9, 10-10, 9-10, 9-10) but that was at 6:30 trying to stop my little lad running around, after re-watching it 48-47 Aldo was probably the correct decision, not sure about 49-46 though, frankie definitely won two rounds, but they're UFC judges lol.
Yeah it was close, once again I take my cap off to frankie as he was in this fight to the end. Fuckin great fighter. Would like to see Aldo move up after another couple of defences as other than edger there is no one in this division that can give a fight, think he can potentially beat anyone at LW!
Pettis has said he wants Aldo at FW.. Now he has potential to beat both Aldo and Henderson IMO.
I'd love to see him beat benson again but he looks a more complete fighter since the wec loss. I think Aldo will be the tougher fight simply because he loses the striking advantage though once again that is a fckin great match up

Trio Musik features Cooper on vibes and marimba, Dave Hay on keyboards and Mike Van Lente on drums.

Send Something Good- Reveal Day!
First- a HUGE thank you to kaitlyn and kristy. This project SERIOUSLY wouldn't have happened again without them. You guys are the best!
The blogger I was sending something good to was Laura from Betula'Loo. While searching her blog I learned that she loves knitting, baking, riding her bike, blue/ turquoise, and traveling/ reading travel books.
So I picked her up some Utah travel books and maps that she can read and then use for craft projects.
Indian Fry Bread Mix- I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I loved the bag and thought it was pretty fun and a good representation of where I live.
Some vintage knitting magazines.
Some turquoise arrowheads and a turquoise dream catcher.
Some Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Spring Fudge.
Some of my favorite chocolate toffees.
A necklace with an old fashioned bicycle charm.
And a blue knit scarf.
I loved wrapping them up all pretty. I was able to reuse some wrapping from things I've recently received in the mail. I hope she liked everything. From our emails, she seemed to love them! At least the chocolates, anyways. ;)
I was so excited to open my mailbox and find my mystery parcel! Mine came from California from the lovely Donaville (isn't that the coolest name?) of Dearest Nature. Everything was so beautiful and a lot of it handmade.
A re-purposed tin can to use for flowers, utensils, or treasures.
A beautiful box.
One of my favorites was the stick with the paper flowers. It's so beautiful.
Three journals. One with Big Ben, one with the Eiffel Tower, and one with the Empire State Building.
And the coolest little handmade globe.
I'm seriously in love with this. I need ideas on how to display it though. Anyone??
It was such a fun round of Package Pals/ Send Something Good! And we definitely have some improvements and ideas for possible future rounds (hint...possible hint). I loved getting to know Laura AND Donaville. I wouldn't have found their blogs for who knows how long otherwise. This project is about so much more than just the presents, it's about the new connections we make all around the world. Connections that may have never happened without it.
Excited to read everyone else's posts!

God Forbid breaks up
Listen to God Forbid on iHeartRadio
Thrash metal rockers God Forbid are calling it a day. Hours after guitarist Doc Coyle declared his exit from the band on Friday, vocalist Byron Davis, drummer Corey Pierce and guitarist Matthew Wicklund took to Facebook with separate posts to announce the end of God Forbid.
Formed in New Jersey in 1996, the band found success with their first full album Reject the Sickness. Five more albums would follow, ending with last year's Equilibrium.
God Forbid has appeared on a number of touring music festivals over the years, including the MTV2 Headbangers Ball tour, Ozzfest and last year's Metal Hammer's "Trespass America Festival" with Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage and Battlecross.
