Pollution, Property Rights At Issue In Lakeshore Bill
03/07/13 5:50PM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
A House committee will hold a hearing next week on a bill that calls for new protections for the shorelines of lakes and ponds.
The measure requires lakeshore buffer zones for new development to prevent polluting run-off. But some property owners are concerned that the bill would infringe on their property rights.
Westminster Democrat David Deen chairs the House, Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee. The veteran legislator worked on the bill with the Shumlin Administration. But Deen said the legislation is now being re-written to reflect the concerns of property owners.
"I don't think we're going to give up on the notion behind the bill. But we're going to soften it. It will be a much lighter touch in terms of what people ... can or can't do on their property," he said.
According to Deen, the basic idea of the legislation is to use nature's own pollution controls to protect water quality. He says trees and shrubs along the shoreline shed leaves and twigs that work to slow down and filter polluting run-off.
"As water comes down after a rain event, it's absorbed there. So the phosphorus stays out of the water, if you're talking Lake Champlain," he said. "And sediment that's washing off the land stays there in that undisturbed vegetated zone."
Deen said both Maine and New Hampshire have strong lakeshore protections laws. The Vermont bill in its current draft says the Agency of Natural Resources will write new rules requiring buffer zones along the shoreline for new development.
Environmental Conservation Commissioner David Mears said existing camps and cottages would be exempted.
"What they call non-conforming uses would be left alone, for now. Although if someone were going to make a substantial change in their property that might trigger a requirement for putting in place some additional vegetation," he said. "But that's one of the issues, frankly, that the Legislature will need to wrestle through. Our proposal is still being developed. The main thing is to make sure we don't make the problem worse."
The problem, Mears said, is a lakeshore construction boom with new lots that are cleared right to the water's edge. That allows run-off to flow right off manicured lawns and into the lake.
But some lakeshore camp owners don't like the idea of new state regulation. Jamie Longtin is president of an association that represents camp owners on Sunrise, Sunset and Perch Lakes in Rutland County. He wants the state to crack down on pollution from existing sources, such as a dirt road that routinely washes silt into Sunset Lake. Longtin said the proposed bill could restrict property rights.
"As far as I look at it, it's a taking of your land. And the Constitution, Article 2 of the Constitution of Vermont, describes taking of your land as when the government asserts control over your property. And I think we view this as a taking by the state," he said.
Deen, the bill's lead sponsor, said Vermont law has long recognized that property rights do not include the freedom to pollute public waters.
"Your rights end right at the end of my nose," he said. "And it's like any other public trust resource, whether it's air or water. You don't have the right to pollute my water."
Still, Deen said he's heard the criticisms. He said the new bill will be tailored to allow a more site-by-site review of projects, rather that mandating a specific distance for a lakeshore buffer zone.
Deen said the new draft should be available for the public to review at a hearing set for Tuesday evening at the Statehouse.

Texas Man Shot Kids Execution-Style
(NEWSER) – The details emerging from yesterday's shooting in a Houston suburb are jarring: Prosecutors this morning alleged that Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, shot his seven victims execution-style in the head after tying them up; four children and two adults are dead, with a 15-year-old survivor having sustained a skull fracture. She reportedly played dead until Haskell left the residence, then called police and told them he was bound for her grandparents' home, KHOU reports. The Chronicle notes police arrived at that location just before Haskell did, and used spike strips to disable his car; he surrendered hours later.

Michael Jackson Bedroom Chair Listed On eBay
Listen to 24/7 MJ Radio on iHeartRadio
A makeup-stained bedroom chair from the home in which Michael Jackson died is up for sale on eBay. Its current owner, Brian Mayes, says the bergere-style chair was a special chair for the pop star.
In addition to being a favorite chair for the late pop star, Mayes says it was also the chair Dr. Conrad Murray would sit in as he monitored the singer, although he was not sitting in it on the day Jackson died five years ago on June 25th, 2009.
[Remembering King of Pop Michael Jackson]
Mayes, a Nashville-based entertainment publicist, says he bought the chair during an auction of the contents of the Holmby Hills mansion Jackson was renting at the time of his death. He calls it a true piece of rock and roll history and "the lone witness to Jackson's death."
With a starting bid of $30,000, the chair will be up for auction on eBay for about a week. Mayes says it's garnered a lot of interest from potential buyers from as far away as Germany and Japan.

Yes, crunch is multi-threaded application.
If you want to know more about crunch, there is a source code inside a package, open it and see how many threads crunch creates.
However if your processor has 4 cores, that does not mean that all 4 cores will be used by the application at the same time (even if application created 4 threads).
Also note that an multi-threaded application is not the only one that lunches threads, there are usually hundredths of threads (of various applications) managed by the OS.
How many cores will be used by an multi-threaded application depends on 2 things:
1. How many threads does application creates.
2. How does system manage threads in a given time
I asked a simple question once on stackoverflow Have a look
Hope this answers your question

Morning Read: Indexes Holding on to Slim April Gain
Market check: After lots of seesawing this month, it's worth noting that major indexes are still in positive territory for the period. The blue-chip Dow (DIA) enters Thursday's session up 0.67% with four April trading sessions left, and the figure is 0.61% for the S&P 500 (SPY). Even the Nasdaq Composite, weighed down by Apple (AAPL) lately, is up by a sliver 0.07% for the month. Index futures point higher Thursday morning, gold is nearing $1,450 for the first time since the steep April 12 selloff, and the yen continues to hover in between 99 and 100 per dollar.
Fund watch: The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) may be down, but gold-coin sales at the U.S. Mint are at the high level since late 2009. From Bloomberg News: "The crash in prices has provoked huge new interest in physical bullion," Miguel Perez-Santalla, a vice president at New York-based BullionVault, said in a phone interview. "Our business last week was 250 percent more than a week before."
In the news: FINRA gives the OK to fund companies seeking to use back-tested index data in their communications with institutional investors.
In case you missed it: Olly Ludwig of Index Universe on stirrings at the SEC to potentially speed up the approval process for new ETFs.

Hoard led the Tornados through the first round of the event, carding a 78 in the opening round, while Zach Christy and Thomas Rennie both recorded 80s. Michael Stamper and Mike Jones rounded out the group of five Coach Matt Adamski placed in the field, finishing the first day with scores of 82 and 83 respectively.
On the second day of the event, Hoard brought in one of the best rounds of the tournament, finishing with a 73 for a two-day score of 151. Rennie and Stamper both improved on the second day of the event as well, as each finished with a 77. Rennie finished with a 157 in the event, while Stamper closed out with a 159.
Jones also improved on his score, carding an 81 on day two to finish with a 164, with Christy rounding out the group with a score of 170.

The Sustainability Consortium jointly administered by the University of Arkansas and the University of Arizona, with support from Walmart and many of its suppliers, is ranked among 10 ideas changing the way people live by Scientific American.
The publication's list of 10 World Changing Ideas for 2012 where characterized as, "innovations that are radical enough to change our lives." The 90-member consortium describes itself as a global organization of businesses, universities and nonprofit organizations that develops science-based tools to advance the measurement and reporting of consumer product sustainability.
"We are honored, and we humbly agree," said Jon Johnson, professor of management in the Sam M. Walton College of Business and the Sustainability Consortium's co-founder and academic director. "That has always been our focus all along – to develop robust, science-based knowledge and tools that companies all over the world can use. It was our hope that our work would effect real change – economically, socially and environmentally. We are seeing that now, and others are starting to notice, which is gratifying."
The Sustainability Consortium was recognized as a superior sustainability measurement and reporting system because of its comprehensive nature and cross-sector approach. The consortium will publish information for more than 100 product categories in 2012. The organization focuses on the areas of food, beverage, agriculture, electronics, toys, home and personal care, paper, pulp and forestry, and packaging. An additional group focused on clothing, footwear and textiles will begin working in February 2013.
"The consortium's ratings will factor in closely held data on emissions, waste, labor practices, water usage and other sensitive factors," said Adam Piore, who wrote the article for Scientific American. "The data should make the index more comprehensive than others."

Picket Chipotle! for fair food and living wages for farmworkers. TOMORROW, Wednesday 9/30 11:00am-2:00pm, at Maryland and HarmonPosted 29 September 2009 // by ALLy Charles Johnson
Southern Nevada ALL is proud to support the the efforts of wildcat unions like the C.I.W. and grassroots community groups like MEChA de UNLV to win living wages and better conditions for workers by the most radical means imaginable — the use of pickets, solidarity, voluntary community organizing, hardball secondary boycotts, and other exercises of pro-worker free association — to undermine the exploitation of government-privileged corporate capitalism, to build alternatives to the corporate-statist quo, and to stand with fellow workers struggling to gain a living wage and control over the conditions of their labor. We extend our solidarity and our support to MEChA de UNLV, the organizers of this local campaign.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a grassroots, community-based union representing farmworkers in central Florida, has called on fast food restaurants, grocery stores, and other large tomato buyers to step up and help farmworkers gain a living wage for their work — by agreeing to pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes that they purchase from large tomato growers, which will go directly to the farmworkers who picked those tomatoes. (The penny-per-pound program costs participating buyers only a quarter for every 25-pound box of fresh tomatoes that they buy — but it could raise farmworkers' wages by almost two-thirds. In an industry where the average worker makes approximately $10,000/year, and where wages have not risen significantly since 1978, the penny-per-pound program could finally break through this exploitation, and offer many farmworkers a chance to finally win a living wage for their labor.) Since the C.I.W. began its penny-per-pound campaign, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, and Whole Foods have all signed agreements with the C.I.W. committing to participate in the penny-per-pound program, and to implement codes of conduct requiring their suppliers to respect the rights and safety of farmworkers in their fields. But Chipotle — while promising "Food With Integrity" and marketing themselves to customers as a leader in socially-responsible business practices — has repeatedly refused to sign any penny-per-pound agreement with the C.I.W. Let's tell Chipotle that we don't enjoy the taste of exploitation!
In solidarity with Immokalee farmworkers and the C.I.W.'s historic campaign, MEChA de UNLV has called for a DEMONSTRATION TOMORROW (Wednesday, 9/30) 11 A.M. – 2 P.M. in front of the Chipotle location at Maryland and Harmon, across the street from UNLV. Join us! Bring a sign, bring a friend; most importantly bring yourself. Chipotle exploits farmworkers — let's tell them ya basta!
WHAT: Picket for fair food and the C.I.W.'s penny-per-pound agreement
WHERE: Chipotle Mexican Grill, Maryland and Harmon, across the street from UNLV.
WHEN: Wednesday, 9/30/2009, 11:00 A.M. – 2 P.M.
WHO: Anyone who supports a living wage for farmworkers and opposes exploitation!
Hope to see y'all there!
For more information on the C.I.W. and its campaign, check out their website at ciw-online.org.

"In every class I teach, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, I strive for a balance between three components: 1) real-world issues; 2) theory; and 3) empirical evidence. The issues component is key, because it provides the motivation for learning economic theory. I try to develop this layer clearly and carefully in the first few weeks of the course.

Magnesium is an essential mineral to human health. It helps lower blood pressure, correct abnormal heart rhythms, build strong bones, and relax muscles. People with type 2 diabetes tend to have low levels of magnesium, and supplementing with it may help optimize insulin production. However, little is known about the effects of magnesium in people who are at risk for diabetes, but who test in the normal range for magnesium levels in the blood.
In pre-diabetes, the body still manufactures insulin, but the tissues become less responsive to it. This phenomenon is referred to as insulin resistance. Together with being overweight and having mildly elevated blood sugar levels, these factors increase the chance that a person will develop diabetes.
The study investigated the effects of supplemental magnesium in people at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Fifty-seven people between ages 30 and 70 who were at risk for diabetes took part in the six-month study. They were given either 365 mg of magnesium (as magnesium aspartate hydrochloride) each day or a placebo. Insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides), and blood sugar levels were tested at the beginning and end of the study.
After six months, several measures of healthy blood sugar levels improved significantly in the magnesium group. Blood pressure improved to a small extent in the magnesium group, but blood fats did not change.
"It can be speculated that magnesium may act as a natural insulin sensitizer even under conditions of well-balanced magnesium status," commented Dr. Frank Christoph Mooren, lead author of the study from the Justus Liebig University, Germany.
To get more magnesium and other healthful nutrients into your diet, eat more of the following foods:

Depression can range from sad to debilitating. It can come as a reaction to a trauma or painful event or creep up on you from a buildup of years of unhappiness. When given attention, depression can help you learn about what may be missing in your life, what you want to achieve, pain that needs healing, or how to become more empowered. Depression can be used for strength and positive. Experience how!

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at email@example.com.

Sometimes we find it hard to meet our own expectations or we are disappointed by our loved ones. Life is unfortunately filled with disappointments, either by others or those that are self inflicted. Learning how to not allow those disappointments to define one's self-worth is an important part of therapy. It is easy to avoid our problems, work, social engagements. Depression hampers our motivation and reduces our desire to socialize. When alone with negative thoughts, depression gets fueled. Therapy is hard work but can give you the tools to fight those negative thoughts that weigh you down.

My goal with clients who suffer from depression is to get you up and going again so you can enjoy your life more, and experience greater meaning and satisfaction. Depression can make a person feel exhausted and gloomy, and it tends to make people think things will never get better. But depression is one of the most treatable emotional disorders. I am committed to supporting my depressed patients to become "formerly depressed," and to have some energy again, to have something to look forward to, to feel like life is meaningful again.

My approach emphasizes teaching people to challenge negative thoughts and maladaptive thinking. It enables clients to recognize distorted thoughts that promote negative perspectives which contribute to symptoms of depression. By learning how to accentuate strengths and utilizing one's own unique skills, clients struggling with depression learn how to achieve a more positive outlook on life.

Experiencing depression can be particularly trying on a person. At times, many individuals in your life may not understand what depression is or why you "can't snap out of it". It is crucial to understand that depression is not a choice and with time, effort, and the right treatment approach, you can work toward minimizing depressive symptoms and returning to your own personal level of success and happiness.

Depression means sadness that may result in crying or may simply steal your happiness. It may be difficult for you to function throughout your day, to think positive thoughts, to make decisions or to enjoy anything. It also involves low energy, sleep and eating disturbances and isolation. I help my clients get through their depression by finding out who they are, seeing how they can regain self-confidence, acting like a mirror to reflect your best qualities and helping regain feelings of connectedness. Simultaneously, each symptom is worked on by determining coping skills to match the problem in strength and intensity.

Depression is anger turned inward or against yourself. As anger builds within, an individual has three choices: To channel the anger energy assertively by expressing the feelings attached to the situations causing one to feel depressed; to express the anger through outbursts that can be very destructive to the self and others; to internalize the anger and become more depressed and less functional with time. My job is to enable you to learn how to identify and express feelings that are causing you to feel depressed. The next step is to change behaviors associated with your feelings freeing you from depressive thoughts and feelings.

Depression is often a "check engine" light that there are things we love and enjoy doing, are good at, our passions and interests – but we aren't doing them or making time for them. It leaves a hole in our life..often filled by unhealthy, downer stuff. We aren't powerless; we are empowered to identify those needs and wants and joys, and make them happen. Overcoming depression takes feeling I'm behind the steering wheel of my life. Often, we just need a start, a push, a move in a good direction, and get the ball rolling – the depression fades, or becomes far easier to handle.

If you have a pulse and a heart, you have been sad. Using the science of happiness rather than standard interventions for depression we focus on increasing positive emotion, engagement, and meaning rather than directly targeting depressive symptoms. In using these interventions with clients I have noted the effects of these interventions in a variety of settings. In informal and clinical settings these interventions have commonly been reported to me and referred to as "life-changing."

Hopelessness, despair and melancholy are all words usually used to describe depression. The restoration of hope and optimism is the goal of therapy. The need for appropriate and accurate evaluation/assessment are of paramount importance. Once the clients level of depression has been determined, an individualized treatment plan will be developed accordingly, including mutually agreed upon goals.

Depression is a feeling that can feel incredibly heavy to hold. Sometimes we experience challenging life events that leave us feeling much sadness, grief, inner pain and lack of joy, which interfere with our daily functioning. That is called depression. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (challenging unhelpful thoughts) and psychodynamic modalities, I can help you work through that sadness, heaviness and pain, so that you may begin the journey of healing work. This is the first step towards holding the sadness, addressing yourself in a safe space so we can slowly help you process and shift to start feeling lighter and start seeing the sunshine and tasting the small joys in everyday life.

The benefits of therapy for depression are indisputable, since treatment offers the important opportunity to be deeply understood and affirmed. Depression is one of the most frequently cited reasons for seeking treatment. It's also highly amenable to treatment. In addition to helping you understand what lies behind your depression, we'll establish a good strong working relationship which is an important bulwark against future depression and supports the growing self as it strives toward health.

Often depression is held in place by thoughts and beliefs that suck the hope out of one's life. Therapy is effective in finding the source of the problem and providing tools for intercepting and changing the problematic thought patterns. Medication may or may not be needed to get the process started. When one gains the ability to envision a rewarding life, it often ends the cycle of depression.

Everyone that experiences deep depression or even circumstantial depression benefits from counseling and therapy. Therapy can immensely assist an individual that is depressed by tracking the root evils and causes of the depression. By looking at the situation as a whole, I help a person to find what makes them sad, and I also teach them to cope, overcome, and find the positive things that will help them overcome depression and help them see the brighter things in their future and life.

Exclusive: Mochi
Craft 51 Dolphin — By Capt. Bill Pike —
July 2004
Hip, Slick, and Cool
|Two-Way Tabs
Our test boat was equipped with a set of Flexitab trim tabs (see illustration below), a crossover product from the realm of Italian offshore racing. "Flexing up" the Mochi Craft 51 Dolphin was the idea of Brunello Acampora of Victory Design, the company that developed the Mochi in cooperation with Ferretti Group's engineering department as well as Norberto Ferretti himself. Although Flexitabs are much like other tabs in many respects—they are stern-mounted, hinged, hydraulically actuated flaps that alter boat trim underway, for example—they are also fundamentally different in that they not only deflect the bow downward, but upwards as well. This double action is accomplished via a flexible connection on the leading edge of each vacuum-bagged, epoxy-composite tab and a hydraulic actuator on the after edge that is designed to both push and pull.
How did our Flexitab trim tabs work? When deployed downwards from their neutral setting on our Dolphin, they performed the way any other set of tabs would. However, when retracted into the hull—full travel was approximately ten degrees—they engendered stern suction, noticeably raising the bow and thereby significantly increasing trim range.
This latter development could well prove handy in some situations, especially during downsea runs in big seas, when some boats may exhibit a tendency to stuff or at least dig their bow in. —B.P.

Starling looks to stand out with Royals
Cards will bring trophy to opener, Rays picks on display
By Bob Sutton / Special to MLB.com | June 19, 2012 6:16 AM ET
"I just need to go out and start playing," Starling said. "I need some games under my belt."
Starling was Kansas City's first-round Draft selection in 2011. He signed at the mid-August deadline and went to Instructional League. This year, a stint in extended spring training came before his assignment to the North Carolina club. Starling, who agreed to a $7.5 million signing bonus spread across three years, is tagged to play as a center fielder for his first season.
"He has got instincts in the outfield," first-year Burlington manager Tommy Shields said. "He has a lot of tools and works hard. Wherever he goes, he's going to be an exciting player."
Starling gave up a football scholarship at Nebraska -- where he was poised to compete at quarterback -- to play baseball. He was a three-sport star (also playing basketball) at Gardner-Edgerton High School in Kansas.
Starling said he sensed progress during his time in extended spring workouts in Surprise, Ariz.
"Of course, I signed late. That kind of left me behind some of those guys," Starling said. "These other guys have been playing more [baseball], and I've been playing all three. I didn't really ever concentrate on one. I think it has helped the last five months. They've been working on my swing, just some little things."
By the time the team arrived in Burlington, Starling and his teammates were pumped up about starting the season. "There was so much adrenaline when we stepped on the field [for the first practice]," he said. "We're ready to be here and we're ready to have some fans watching."
To be sure, throughout the Kansas City organization they'll be monitoring the 6-foot-4 player who's described as one of the most decorated high school athletes in Kansas history. "He needs to be in there every night and he needs to play," Shields said. "He hasn't played a whole lot of baseball. He wasn't playing 100 games of baseball every year. He's still learning the game.
"It's going to be a good test for him. He'll have his ups and downs just like all the other young players in this league."
Starling is the first first-round Draft pick assigned to Burlington since the city's affiliation began with the Royals in 2007. He's joined by catcher Cam Gallagher, a second-round selection last year, and pitcher Colin Rodgers, a third-round draftee this month.
The Johnson City Cardinals will start the season with another celebration of an Appalachian League championship. But that's not the only hardware that will be on display.
The parent St. Louis Cardinals are sending the World Series trophy for the season-opening series when Johnson City plays host to the Greeneville Astros on the first three nights of the season.
"Having it Opening Day is even better," Johnson City general manager Chuck Arnold said. "Obviously, we want the whole organization to be successful. It was a great year for the organization overall. We're going to cherish that and hopefully get another one."
If so, it will be done under the direction of a new manager. Oliver Marmol is taking charge after Mike Shildt directed Johnson City to league titles in 2010 and 2011. Doug White remains the Johnson City pitching coach and Ramon Ortiz is back as hitting coach.
Tampa Bay's stockpiling of draft picks will show up with the Princeton Rays this summer. Shortstop Brandon Martin, a first-round selection (38th overall) in 2011, and outfielder Granden Goetzman, a second-round selection last year, are among the headliners.
Princeton manager Michael Johns said Martin has improved defensively and is pegged for a spot at the top of the batting order. Goetzman has sharpened his skills and he's "really strong -- he looks like a football player," Johns said.
Catcher Oscar Hernandez, an 18-year-old defensive whiz from Venezuela, and outfielder James Harris Jr., a first-rounder (60th overall) in 2011, add to Princeton's talented crop of youth. John Alexander, a 19-year-old first baseman who was picked in the eighth round last year, also falls into that category.
A pair of left-handers on the mound with Blake Snell, a first-round (52nd overall) from last year, and Kevin James, a 2009 draftee taking another shot as he moves from the bullpen to the starting rotation, should be worth watching, too.
It was what amounted to a chance meeting when Pete Rose Jr. headed toward the first-base coaching box and made a slight detour to greet Johns. It was two Appalachian League managers at a Triple-A game in Durham, N.C. The get-together came a month before the Appalachian League season was set to start. Rose was on board for a stint with the Charlotte Knights before taking charge of the Bristol Sox again. Johns was spending a homestand with the Durham Bulls, carrying duties as third-base coach for a series while waiting for his next gig with the Princeton Rays to begin.
Johns said it was a good week with the top farm team in the organization. "They moved some coaches out of extended to give [us] a breather and it was great to be around another team and see all that," he said.
Their Appalachian League teams will meet during the second week of the season at Bristol but not again until Princeton's final homestand in August.

The Scent of a Web Page: The Five Types of Navigation Pages
July 2008
90 minutes
- The Home Page
- Content Pages
- Gallery Pages
- Department Pages
- Store Pages
- Topics:
You work hard providing top-notch content on your site. Will your users find it? If they don't find it, all that effort is for nothing. What can you do to guarantee that users find the content they've come looking for?
In this entertaining and informative seminar, UIE's Founder, Jared M. Spool, will show how designers control whether users find their site's content or not. As users traverse through a web site, UIE's latest research shows they encounter five different types of navigation pages. The designers of today's most successful sites, such as Lands' End, the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, CNN, and the BBC, understand these different types of web pages and make design choices based on each page's specific purpose.
[To learn more about how the Scent of Information works, we recommend you watch our previous UIE Virtual Seminar, The Scent of Information: Getting Users to Their Content first. It will give you a little more depth on some of the concepts this seminar builds upon.]
In this 90-minute online seminar, you'll hear the most up-to-the-minute research on how users navigate sites. You will learn best practices for designing the five types of navigation pages, including:
The Home Page: The best home pages orient users in the right direction when they first arrive on a site.
Content Pages: This is the most important type of page to users, and often contains lateral navigation, allowing users to jump from content page to content page to gather more information to support their tasks.
Gallery Pages: These contain listings of links directing to the content pages. Most of the navigation failures on information-rich web sites are due to poorly-designed gallery pages.
Department Pages: Sites that have too many links for a single gallery need to have a department page, which lists all of the gallery pages. Users use these pages for winnowing their selection down.
Store Pages: A "store" is UIE's name for the mega-departments of the web site. These are most useful when a site has large numbers of departments, and where users rarely bounce between major content areas.
You'll come away from this seminar understanding why trigger words are critical to users successfully finding their content, why the best sites prevent users from using on-site Search, how exposing a site's hierarchy can increase the success of the user, and how designing longer pages helps users find what they seek.

Why Jared?
Jared Spool took UX to a new level in 1988 when he launched UIE. And by, "to a new level," we mean "validated UX as a vital component of our work, then spent the next 25 years conducting research and writing tirelessly to keep validating it."
Fortunately, for users everywhere, his continued efforts are still paying off.
Jared often can be found onstage, where he captivates crowds with stunning data that reveal how UX can affect a company's bottom line. He's helped thousands of companies worldwide to increase their profits, identify interaction failures, and integrate UX research and design into their product development cycles.
Reaching designers is a priority, too—aside from these virtual seminars, Jared and the UIE team organize annual conferences chock full of hands-on, practical workshops led by the best industry minds around.
One last thing: Jared is a masterful storyteller with a seemingly endless supply of energy and practical advice, too. He rarely takes the spotlight for our virtual seminars, so this will sell out fast—snag your spot now.

Monday, August 16 2010 - Other Important News
Apology to readers...
Dear Reader,
You will notice I am once again updating the website - finally! I apologize for the interruption and appreciate your patience. On July 30 my hard drive crashed, taking with it several years worth of the files, emails, addresses, software, calendar and other assorted information needed to manage this site. Hence, we've been in limbo since then. Unfortunately, my backup drive had crashed some time ago and I'd not yet replaced it so I'm having to refuse to go into panic mode thinking about everything that's lost on that drive, and am looking for a reliable data recovery company to salvage our frozen history. (Yes, recommendations welcome! janice [at] 911truth.org, please) and the money to pay for that expensive procedure. Fortunately, a true friend loaned me the money for a new laptop, so we are back!
If any of you are awaiting my response to your email sent during July, it's not forthcoming! Please resend and understand I'm really not rude - just temporarily lost! And at the risk of proselytizing, I will take a moment to strongly recommend you go RIGHT NOW and get a backup drive if you don't already have one ... Until I lost access to this stuff, I really had no idea how frustrating the simplest things can be or how much I relied on this technology to manage life!
Again, thanks to everyone for your patience and continued readership and support. This week I will try to post the most important 9/11-related news of the last few weeks, such as the few articles added below. Without the software I'm used to, it will take some time to hand-code everything for proper formatting, but it WILL happen!
Best wishes,
Janice Matthews

Faulty fire protection, lights that won't go off and an overlooked nuclear reactor are just a few of the hurdles holding up the new airport in Berlin that is tarnishing Germany's reputation for industrial derring-do.
Designed to befit a capital that attracts more than 10 million visitors every year as Europe's No. 3 city destination after London and Paris, the airport was built to handle 27 million passengers annually and first scheduled to be operational in 2011. A new date hasn't been set after construction and planning faults made a June start impossible.
The fiasco reflects the mismanagement creeping into prestige public projects in Germany, taking the sheen off the country's image as a paragon of engineering proficiency. The setbacks come as Berlin, Germany's capital since 1990 and its biggest city, shakes off a post-unification malaise and booming tourism spawns new hotels. Low rents compared with other capitals are drawing in software, film and publishing startups.
"It's not rocket science to build a modern airport," said Thomas Winkelmann, chief executive officer of Germanwings, Lufthansa's low-cost airline. "Fashion is better in Italy, food is better in France, and Germans do engineering. So not to be able to construct a single terminal building is super embarrassing."
The project is being managed by the city of Berlin, the state of Brandenburg and Germany's federal government. Originally budgeted at about 2.8 billion euros ($A3.5 billion), the latest projection is 4.3 billion euros.

More tourists
Hartmut Mehdorn, the former chief executive officer of Deutsche Bahn and Air Berlin, was named CEO of the airport on March 8, filling a post vacant since January after Rainer Schwarz was fired because of the missteps.
Berlin is building the new airport to attract more tourists and business and cut through the postwar tangle of several aerodromes, Tegel in the western part of the city and Schoenefeld in the east. While Tegel has been popular with travellers for its short distances from street drop-off to departure gate, the facilities don't offer enough space to expand into the global gateway Berlin is aspiring to become.
"Berlin needs an airport, and that's why we have to do everything so that this airport is completed as quickly as possible," Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters on March 8.
London's Heathrow is Europe's busiest airport, attracting 69.9 million passengers last year. Paris's Charles de Gaulle drew 61.6 million passengers, while third-ranked Frankfurt had 57.5 million.
Prestige companies
Some of Germany's biggest companies including Siemens and Robert Bosch are involved in the Berlin airport project. Carriers including Air Berlin and Lufthansa have built new facilities there and are in talks over how to recoup losses incurred by the delays. Air Berlin plans to use the site as its hub and Lufthansa, Europe's second-biggest airline, had planned to operate more than 1000 weekly flights there.
The list of calamities at the 280,000 square-metre terminal, located in the state of Brandenburg about 20 kilometres southeast of downtown Berlin, is growing. At last count, at least 20,000 defects ranged from the faulty fire protection systems to incorrectly laid tiles, according to reports in German media.
A February 13 visit revealed a site devoid not only of passengers and planes, but also of workers as project directors continue to compile a catalog of what needs to be fixed before work can resume. The building is lit up every night because there's no mechanism to turn the lights off. There are deficits in the sprinkler system and a lack of fire protection on some steel girders used for construction.
Stained record
The project is not the only blemish on Germany's engineering prowess. A plan to put Stuttgart's train station underground has met environmentalist opposition and is now budgeted to cost 6.5 billion euros, compared with 4.5 billion euros in the initial plan. A harbour concert hall in Hamburg, Germany's richest city, may end up costing more than 10 times the original estimate of 77 million euros and is also years behind its 2010 completion date.
"I would love it if Berlin had the international airport it deserves as the capital," actor Matt Damon told reporters at the Berlinale Film Festival, where he was promoting his film "Promised Land" on February 8.
'Poor but sexy'
Critics of the Berlin chaos have put the blame on politicians meddling in the complexities of a large-scale infrastructure project. Matthias Platzeck, the prime minister of the state of Brandenburg who became airport supervisory board chairman on January 16, took over the job from Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit, who has marketed Berlin as the city equivalent of a startup under the slogan of "poor but sexy."
Berlin is the second-most indebted of Germany's 16 states, with more than 60 billion euros of debt, according to data from the Federal Statistics Office.
"It shows that big German city governments are incapable of running the infrastructure show," said Friedrich Thelen, founder of Thelen-Consult, a Berlin-based business advisory group and former parliamentary editor of business magazine WirtschaftsWoche. "Major projects must be run by private professionals."
Germany's federal structure has spawned a network of global and smaller airports throughout the country. Frankfurt remains by far the largest, followed by Munich, built in the early 1990s. Berlin, which was divided until 1990, never gained the same global status as other German cities, with years of only one regular intercontinental connection -- servicing the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator.
Nuclear reactor
At the new site, the smoke ventilating equipment installed throughout the glass-sheathed structure is faulty even after lessons learned from Germany's worst airport disaster -- a 1996 fire at Dusseldorf airport which killed 17 people. These present the biggest safety risk, according to a January 25 report to Parliament's Budget Committee.
Planners also failed to consider that authorities might balk at an experimental nuclear reactor located under a planned flight path. The reactor in Berlin's southwest Wannsee district is operated by the Helmholtz Zentrum, a materials and energy research institute. The Wannsee route was declared illegal by an administrative appeals court in a January 23 ruling.
"The risk of a plane crash and an aviation terrorist attack and the release of ionised radiation from the research reactor was insufficiently considered," the court said in a statement issued with the ruling, in which it scolded airport planners for failing to recognise and evaluate the risks.
"The problems are severe, very severe," Horst Amann, the chief airport operating officer who was installed last year after his predecessor was fired, said in a Jan. 8 interview with broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk.
To be sure, other German airport projects have been completed on time. Fraport expanded Frankfurt Airport's Terminal 1 in October after four years of construction, adding capacity for the biggest passenger planes, including Airbus's A380 and Boeing's 747, for as many as 6 million passengers at a cost of 700 million euros.
And one thing that does work at the new airport is its low- tech environmental monitoring system.
Cabbages have been planted in plots around the runways to help monitor the air quality since 2011, according to January 28 report by the airport. The cabbages are harvested and analysed in a laboratory for hazardous substances, the report says. Honey produced in beehives at the airport is also analysed.
"Building an airport is a complex thing that needs a massive amount of teamwork, an open and integrated relationship with the supply chain," said Paul Griffiths, the CEO of Dubai Airports. "To get the program back on track, get some realism into the schedule, get people who know what they're doing and start testing. And don't announce a date until you're absolutely confident everything is working."

Coolum, Australia • Golfers at the Australian PGA Championship might feel as if they are going back in time.
Way back in time.
The new owner of the Palmer Coolum Resort has erected a 26-foot mechanical T-Rex between the ninth green and 10th tee, which flips its tail and opens its mouth for a menacing roar when anyone approaches. The owner, billionaire Australian mining magnate Clive Palmer, has at least agreed to turn it off during the tournament.
But it's one reason The PGA of Australia is considering whether to leave Coolum after 11 years.
"I've heard it sounds like we are going to Jurassic Park, so this will be interesting," pro golfer Robert Allenby said.
Palmer wants to import more molded dinosaurs and turn the ocean resort into a theme park, or maybe a casino. But his plans have clashed with a tournament that dates to 1905. The owner already has put up more than 60 signs around the golf course to promote his interests, which includes his plan to build a replica of the Titanic.
Some of those signs, however, are in the landing areas on the fairways. That forced organizers to mark those areas "ground under repair," where golfers will be able to move the ball if the shot is affected by the signs.
Last week, the issue came to a head with Australian PGA Tour officials, and the tournament appeared in jeopardy.
But on Sunday, Tour officials said they will consider a revised offer from Palmer to keep the event on the Sunshine Coast north of Brisbane.
PGA of Australia chief executive Brian Thorburn said that the board of directors would next week consider a new offer from Palmer that could see the event remain at the player-favored resort.
"We have had a great run on the Sunshine Coast, it has been fantastic, but nothing stays forever," Thorburn said.
Palmer tweeted recently: "We had some issues with pgaofaustralia but all now resolved amicably and we are looking forward to the tournament at Palmer Coolum Resort."
The tournament moved to Coolum in 2002 after two years at Royal Queensland in Brisbane. But it's also been played at Royal Melbourne, where Hale Irwin (1978) and Seve Ballesteros (1981) were among the winners, and other top Australian courses. This year's field includes Adam Scott, Greg Norman, Darren Clarke, Geoff Ogilvy and Australian Open champion Peter Senior.
The T-Rex is nicknamed "Jeff" and it is activated by movement. Golfers playing social rounds recently have taken "dinosaur mulligans" when the roar occurs during a backswing on the 10th tee.
Palmer agreed to turn off the robotic features of the dinosaur during the tournament.
When asked if he ever imagined the century-old Australian PGA would be played on a course with a 26-foot T-Rex, Thourburn smiled and said "no."
"But having said that, let's put it into perspective," he added. "It has generated some tremendous publicity for this tournament and we don't have a big marketing budget so in that regard everybody knows that the PGA is on at Coolum at the moment."
Defending champion Greg Chalmers was taken aback by the prehistoric beast.
"I'm glad it's not roaring, that's a good start," Chalmers said. "It is just a little strange. It is not what I expected to see."

Topic: Hope on the Horizon
I've asked permission to share an email that came to me from Dr. Alphonse Sirica. I had asked him to send us a brief update that could outline some of the "hope on the horizon" for cholangiocarcinoma.
Thank you for your e-mail. First let me say that I am sorry to hear of the passing of another one of your members. Cholangiocarcinoma is such a devastating disease and it is frustrating that our progress towards understanding this cancer's pathogenesis, as well as in developing new therapies is still limited. However, I am also confident that through our research and that of others, we will be turning a corner.
As I previously indicated to you, I am currently in the process of organizing a national level meeting on cholangiocarcinoma, which we are planning to hold in December, 2007 or January, 2008.The title of this Conference is "Cholangiocarcinoma: Molecular Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, and Mutidisciplinary Management". My Program Committee is composed of some of the top physician- scientists in the world who are researching cholangiocarcinoma. This conference is a first of its kind, and we intend to cover critical areas related to cholangiocarcinoma molecular pathogenesis, advances in cholangiocarcinoma detection, current and emerging new treatments for advanced cholangiocarcinoma, molecular-based therapies, and a variety of other areas relevant to advancing our understanding of the disease and in developing novel treatment strategies aimed at greatly improving patient survival. As part of this Conference, I hope to also include a 2 hour afternoon session devoted to patient advocacy. As I indicated to you in a previous e-mail, I would be very pleased if you would be willing to present at this Forum, detailing your wonderful work in organizing Cholangiocarcinoma.org. I will be providing you with additional details as the Conference program is developed, hopefully by August, 2006.
Currently, we are pursuing a number of new areas of research, including developing a novel preclinical animal model of metastasizing intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, which recapitulates many of the cellular and molecular features of the human advanced disease. We are hoping to develop this model as an in vivo preclinical platform for testing new molecular-based therapies alone and in combination with other treatment modalities currently in use or to be developed. In addition, we are exploring new molecular targets and I will soon be submitting for publication some interesting data on profiling human cholangiocarcinoma sub-types for molecular therapeutic targets.
The competitive renewal of one of my long-standing National Cancer Institute grants is being reviewed in June, and hopefully will be approved for continued funding so that we can explore some new reasarch based on increasing our understanding of the role played by microenvironment on cholangiocarcinoma invasion and metastasis.
Although I wish I had more to share with you, particularly on progress being made on new treatments, I can only state at this time that with the increasing interest being shown towards cholangiocarcinoma research, as well as efforts by youself and other advocates, that future hopes for new and effective therapies are increasing and I personally remain both encouraged and motivated.
I hope that my response also gives you encouragement. All of us in the cholangiocarcinoma research fields are serious about our work and we will continue in our efforts to hopefully make a difference that will benefit patients and their families struggling with this terrible disease.
With warm regards,
Al Sirica
