@Vahid – If you could shortly try to answer 2 questions, that would really be awesome. 1.) Are we getting new search system on each marketplace? 2.) Are we ever getting video rollovers at videohive? Thank you and keep up the good work!
Hi Efekt!
1. Yes – are have a way cooler search system under the hood. You can see it in operation on 3dOcean and PhotoDune, but we've not tapped into into its power properly. We'll be looking next year to make significant inroads on search. but action speaks louder than words so lets see what Justin & John can deliver next year.
2. Not sure if that is in scope for anytime soon. If we want to get serious about video then its sounds like a requirement, but one that probably has a lower priority. We'd also want to recode the video to allow for HTML5 players, and also reduce the size so that playback is faster on previews. Its a problem right now at least here in Australia and I guess else where also.
If all authors sales drop during the bundle, Envato will be losing money. I got a boost of sales during the bundle, but the top bar bothered me. It just feels spammy, and that's why, I believe, many people are upset about it. My personal observation: Growth during this year in ThemeForest was slow (buyers) comparing to last years. However, there are more new authors and established authors publishes even more themes. It's harder to sell now. A great theme used to make it big. I think, the golden days are gone.
Nothing we've seen to date indicates the bundle cannibalises normal sales. Last month's bundle did quite well and it was a spectacular month in terms of sales even excluding the bundle.
We're trying to learn now why the holiday bundle has been so slow – not sure if its the theme, the content or the timing. I suspect the theme, but that's the easy answer. Alex, our marketing guy is working to see how we can optimise content, timing and messaging. So expect to see some experiments especially next week as we go into the final 24 hours.
ThemeForest slowing… ah, no. Its still growing pretty darn fast, but not as fast as year 1 where it grew like the bean stalk in the story about Jack. But yes, there probably is a lot more competition and the content quality is really amazing these days.

You are prioritizing things (read features, visual changes, bundles, etc.) over requests that we, as authors, consider essential to the positive growth of the marketplace(s).
Instead of the 50+ design-related changes you have done in the past 3 years, you could have improved the rating system. Instead of the useless bar to my left, you could have put the reply-button on the comments-section under each reply. Instead of adding the "Upload item" feature to our dashboards (which, I am sorry, but I find completely senseless), you could have simply enabled us to see all of our followers, you could have dedicated 3 months to producing a good searching-system, shopping carts, a way for authors to communicate with buyers anonymously, and oh so much more.Guys, it's not about throwing rocks at you, but you keep doing struff that we (or at least I) can't really comprehend. We have asked for features that are simply essential, necessary to the marketplaces, and we have received exactly the opposite (with some exceptions of course). I stood behind your back when the requests were 1, 3, 4, 5 months old.. but it's been 3 years! The Envato marketplaces have always been strong because of their strong relationship with the community. If you decide that adding, for example, a "Upload item" feature to the author dashboard will enhance the author's UX, then tell us why, talk to us.
Keep in mind that Bundles don't affect development…
What we have been prioritising this year has been increasing team capacity (the Dev team has doubled) but unfortunately we've spent lots of time on backendy (is that a word) work. I think the tide is now changing… but perhaps John Viner's post says it better.
That all said, we, especially Justin French who is doing lots of thinking about product roadmap for next year, certainly appreciate your input on these points. They are good points.
ok – got to go to dev team retro.

From many author's observation, the competition and quality of content alone is not the reason for apparent sales down/split. May be the overall sales isn't affected but there is an issue about balancing exposure between new themes and popular ones. As a side effect, popular files are "too much familiar" and new files are "too much alien" for buyers. So definitely ThemeForest needs a special effort to expand ways of initial exposure and also avoid over saturated exposure for popular ones.
Just a suggestion, if another page added for "Popular New files" which filters from recent 2-3 weeks (or a month), it will be helpful for both buyers as well as authors. Especially the themes that stands different from standard designs will get improved exposure since such files have decent sales in the initial 2-3 days (but never manages to enter weekly popular – 50 sales is current base cut-off which is too high). Also such a page will show more than 90% different files than current all time popular page. So buyers get one more page/criteria/choice to pick files.
Any solution to expand initial exposure is fine, just pointed the above suggestion since it is very simple like replicating current weekly popular page with minor tweak.
I will took the opportunity to say that something is wrong with the development and implementation of new features on the marketplace.
I don't doubt that the development team is working on stuff behind the scenes but the rare changes that we see, followed a bad formula.
Usually for every change in the marketplace, couple of bugs are introduced. Every time a button is moved from position A to position B some random unrelated marketplace functionality is broken and need to be fixed after people make threads on forums.
And most of the time we still try to figure out what particular advantage those changes bring up to the marketplace.
Something needs to be changed about this.
Also if is possible, the UX developer should make a thread on forum so we can understand what he want to do with the interface.
Nice to have you in this thread Vahid,still, maybe its just me, but most of your answers regarding new staff you hired are related in marketing, adwords, research in sales etc. Maybe i am wrong but it seems you are trying constantly to attract more visitors/buyers, but you are doing it in a way to direct people on envato pages offering products. This is not a question/problem here, its after they get on for example themeforest. I think (correct me if i am wrong) you have a lot of visitors the number in the footer is growing really fast. The revolt you are getting is from author point of view and as it was mentioned b4, after 20 of so pages of posts someone from staff comes on and gives an explanation or answer to some questions and expose some things like ( Alex our marketing guy) several times which does not really tell us anything. The main problem is that its getting harder and harder to sell, from your point of you its the same if there's 50 items with 1 sale or 1 with 50, for authors it isn't. If someone works like crazy for god knows how long and gets 20 sales in a month then he will look for alternatives. And once top authors start noticing that, there will be a problem. For know only thing that can bring you normal cash flow is quantity and that needs rapid development which leads to copy's and eventually to quality lost.
The main problem is that you guys do not notice it yet, since the words the authors throw around here just do not reflect on the situation, but once it starts annoying "production line" its just the matter of time when products, which are the core of the system, start to degrade and sales start dropping and once it gets on that steep hill down it gets harder and harder to turn it back.
Marketing shouldn't be the priority here, yet it seems that is your main concern, development trough innovation should lead and marketing follow. Not vice versa.
Bit long post but hey Cheers
The official response
(just joking)
@Anps No, it's right to focus on marketing. I think most authors will be fine with the current market functionality if Envato brings the buyer. Heck, that's why they are sticking to this place.
Well the problem is that dev is falling behind, and I still am 100% behind my statement that marketing should not lead. Secondly, we don't get any real answers.

Not True. If you remember, a year ago, there was lots of down times. I think devs focused on actually running the markets and scaling them (2.12m is an insane number). They have limited time like all humans, and maybe the dev team didn't grow in number proportionally.
I agree, though, that the support and answers are very bad and something need to be done about them (especially support)
Can someone fix this on Bundle FAQ ? It says Photodune items can be used more than once, which sounds as if allowed to use more than one project:
From Bundle FAQ pdf:
G) What license are the files distributed under?
All files in the bundle are licensed to you under one regular license for each item. To see how a regular license may be used and to read more information, please see this introduction and these articles. Most licenses are for a single use, meaning you can use each item once in one end project. For PhotoDune items, each item can be used more than once – see the PhotoDune regular license.
Or am I missed a big announcement about license terms change

Islamist heads panel drafting Egypt´s constitution (AFP) AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE) By Jailan Zayan 03/28/12)

Members of a disputed panel drafting Egypt´s new constitution elected an Islamist as its head on Wednesday, intensifying a stand-off with secularists over the country´s post-revolution charter.
Saad al-Katatni, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and the current speaker of the Islamist-dominated parliament was chosen as the head of the constituent assembly, during its first session.
The panel, which is made up of more than 60 percent Islamists, has been at the centre of a dispute with the country´s secular forces who fear their calls for a civil state will be muffled.
Katatni´s appointment comes after liberal, leftist and independent parties and figures angrily withdrew from the committee, accusing Islamists of monopolising the process.
Only 74 of the 100-member panel attended the first session, with 71 voting for Katatni, the official MENA news agency reported. The constituent assembly´s legitimacy was further called into question after Egypt´s Supreme Constitutional Court announced it was withdrawing its representative from the panel earlier on Wednesday.
The crisis comes at a critical time in Egypt´s transition, with the first presidential elections since a popular uprising ousted veteran leader Hosni Mubarak less than two months away.
The revolt paved the way for the formation of dozens of political groups and movements of all political stripes, but it is the Islamists -- the most organised and with a wide network of supporters- - who have gained the most since the revolt.
The Muslim Brotherhood and the ultra-conservative Salafist Al-Nur party together went on to dominate both houses of parliament in recent parliamentary elections, sparking fears among secularists and the Coptic minority of restrictions on freedoms.
Last week, parliament voted for the constituent assembly to be made up of 50 lawmakers from the upper and lower houses of parliament, and 50 public figures.
But secular politicians and activists argued that such a high proportion of legislators gave Islamists too much control of the constitution.
After voting on Saturday night, the 100-member panel was made of up more than 60 percent Islamists, and included five women and six Coptic Christians.
On Wednesday´s sessions, the members of the panel sought to reassure the public, insisting that the constitution would be for all Egyptians.
Writing the constitution requires "wisdom and political responsibility, away from partisan gains," Katatni told the constituent assembly in its first session.
Others said the withdrawals would not affect the order of business, since legislators had drawn up a list of back-up members. It was not clear what percentage of withdrawals would invalidate the panel.
Several lawsuits were filed by legal experts challenging the validity constituent assembly, with one argument being that a constitution cannot be drafted by those whose role it will define.
Protests on Tuesday and Wednesday have called for the dissolution of the panel, demanding it be made up entirely of non-parliamentarians. The recent debate over the panel "has cast a heavy cloud of doubt and confusion over its members, and cast a dark shadow of (legal) challenges to (its) formation and procedure," the Supreme Constitutional Court´s spokesman, Judge Maher Sami, told reporters.
He said the court had decided to steer clear of any disagreements or clashes caused by this doubt, prompting it to withdraw Saleh from the constituent assembly after he was elected a member. (Copyright © 2012 Agence France Presse. 03/28/12)

Nestled in the far northeast corner of the State, residents of the small town of Fremont aided slaves escaping along the eastern route of the Underground Railroad network. Fremont acted as a final stop in Indiana for many refugees traveling through Richmond and Fort Wayne. Erastus Farnham was one of the local Underground Railroad leaders.

Erastus Farnham, a staunch abolitionist, built this home in 1847 and used it as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Today, the home retains its nineteenth-century features including a cupola that served as a lookout point and an internal cistern, which allowed the clandestine capture of water from the gutters. This extra water allowed the house to support additional guests when necessary without raising suspicion.

Social networking has become the ultimate platform for business development. In order to excel in growth, companies turn to these sites as outlets for promotion and customer feedback. ShopTab, a "Facebook Store" founded by Arizona residents Bret Giles and Jay Feitlinger, allows businesses to conveniently sell their products through the Facebook website.
With thousands of store owners in more than 50 countries, 40 currency options and an impressively low cost, customers use ShopTab as an answer to modern retail strategies.
"Whether you're a person or a business, if you want to have a transaction, we provide a commerce engine to do that," says Kevin Gralen, president of ShopTab.
Gralen explains how the product is unique to typical social network investments, as it provides an ROI, or return on investment. ShopTab allows businesses to utilize social media to its fullest potential by providing an outlet for substantial revenue.
Gaining a 40 percent store increase since June 2011, ShopTab proves to be a successful resource for clients looking to expand. With the international growth of Facebook itself, ShopTab has expanded internationally as well.
Whereas a year ago, most of the business was U.S.-centric, this month probably 40 percent will be U.S. and 60 percent will be the rest of the world," Gralen says.
Aside from the focus on international growth, partnering with other companies has contributed to the success of ShopTab.
"We have a partnership with a company called ProStores, which is owned by eBay," Gralen says. "Their customers can click a couple of buttons and immediately start a Facebook Store."
ShopTab receives the most traction through these business strategies. Two additional partners have been signed in the past few weeks, also contributing to the growth of international connections.
Because ShopTab is established through Facebook, Gralen notes the importance of maintaining the social media appeal through blog posts and Twitter. Video content creation is also coming into play, which will demonstrate marketing suggestions for clients. ShopTab is not only for selling, but promoting businesses socially.
Clients experience different results with ShopTab, and Gralen encourages businesses to test the social networking waters before fully committing.
"The ones that get the result are the ones that invest in building their fans and their social presence," Gralen says.
If your company has yet to establish a fan base, social networking skills and relatively consistent sales, ShopTab might not be useful just yet.
"When they're socially savvy, they love what we have," Gralen says.
With that being said, some smaller companies have also excelled through the use of ShopTab. In fact, some case studies have been established to determine the most efficient ways of helping smaller clients.
The success and exponential growth of ShopTab serves as a model for other entrepreneurs interested in reaching their company goals. Gralen encourages others to thoroughly understand their business model before moving forward. Everything from the value of your products to the transaction value for your clients should be considered.
He also stresses the importance of an open mind when starting a business. Take into account customer feedback and suggestions. Much of the ShopTab application has changed due to valuable client input.
Entrepreneurs have great ideas, but customers usually give you the best feedback," Gralen says.
Based on its own customer feedback, ShopTab will soon establish sales resources for real estate agents and property managers as well.

GSA Promotes FSS's Pierson to IT Center Director
August 26, 2004
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced it has named Patricia Pierson, a procurement and management expert, to direct the Information Technology (IT) Acquisition Center in GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS).
Pierson has guided IT Acquisition Center reorganization plans since January 2004. The reorganization is designed to improve effectiveness and efficiency, while providing greater value to taxpayers.
In 1996, Pierson's management skills won plaudits for the FSS, Auburn, Wash., Paints and Chemicals Center, which supports U.S. troops around the world. The center won a White House Closing the Circle Award for its expertise in handling environmental initiatives and hazardous materials.
Two years later, Pierson transformed the Auburn product sales center into a complex, professional services contract center, offering environmental, translation, business management and improvement services. Under Pierson's leadership, the center met its $1 billion annual business volume goal in two years.
In late 2000, Pierson was named FSS Director of Business Support in the Office of Enterprise Planning. She served in that capacity until Aug. 10, when she was named IT Acquisition Center Director. Pierson expects the center to provide federal customers around the world with nearly $20 billion a year in IT products and services.
She replaces GSA Meritorious Service Award winner Roy Chisholm, who became the first IT Acquisition Center director in 1995. Recently, Chisholm announced his intention to retire, but has agreed to stay on as long as is necessary to ensure a smooth transition. Under his tutelage, IT Center business volume grew to $17 billion in nine years, up from $1.6 billion.
Chisholm's successful federal career spans 47 years. In 1961, he joined GSA as a contract specialist in the FSS Furniture Center. Chisholm has agreed to help ensure a smooth transition.
GSA, a centralized federal procurement and property management agency with 13,000 associates, was created by Congress to help agencies improve efficiency and better serve the public. On behalf of federal agencies, GSA acquires office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services for more than one million federal workers in more than 8,000 buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

NEW figures show more people have black and white TV licences in Grays than anywhere else in Essex.
Even though colour TV has been around for 46 years now, 13,202 people across the country prefer to watch their programmes the old fashioned way.
Just 28 people have a black and white licence in Grays but that hasn't stopped it topping the table in the county.
Its followed by Colchester, where there are 25 black and white licences in force, and then Chelmsford and Gravesend which both have 21.
A black and white licence costs £49 and is frozen at that rate until 2016. At present, a colour licence is £145.50.
John Trenouth, a television and radio technology historian, said: "Although 13,202 monochrome licences may sound a lot, it's now a tiny percentage of the 25 million licensed viewers in the UK.
"The numbers of black and white TV sets in regular use has fallen dramatically over the last few years, hastened by the fact that it's now almost impossible to replace them and by the need to buy a suitable set top box to continue to use them after digital switch over.
"The continued use of black and white TV sets, despite the obstacles, is more likely to be driven by economics than by nostalgia.
"For low-income households the black and white licence fee is an attractive alternative to the full colour fee.
"There will always be a small number of users who prefer monochrome images, don't want to throw away a working piece of technology or collect old TV sets."

RETRO STROLL: We've been whining about summer being over for almost a month now, but it turns out it's been going on all this time. Well, that explains the heat, doesn't it?
But summer ends officially and undeniably on Saturday, when autumn comes in all its leaf-slaughtering glory. Pretty soon, tourists from the city will be driving up our street gawking at our trees and paying outrageous amounts of money at our fresh apple cider roadside stand.
If autumnal weather accompanies autumn itself, it should be a great day to explore Long Beach's coolest stretch of road at the only barely ineptly named Summer Sidewalk Sale on Fourth Street from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday on the Fourth Street Corridor, which you may know as Retro Row, between Cherry and Junipero avenues.
You get more than 40 shops offering specials for the day, including mid-century furniture, surf-n-skate gear, vintage clothes, handcrafted jewelry, books and vinyl and all kinds of miscellaneous stuff, mostly from the only recently olden days.
Food, too, will abound, from several of the street's eateries or from a fleet of food trucks that include Chunk-N-Chip, Komodo, India Jones, Baby's Badass Burgers and lots more.
Music kicks in at 3 p.m., with Cougrzz Rock at Lola's Mexican Cuisine and Angela Aldatz & Her Band of Gypsies at Portfolio.
PIGSKIN AT APOSTROPHE: It's been almost 125 years since the opening kickoff of football in this city when the Long Beach Football Club participated in the first pigskin game played in Southern California on April 29, 1888.
We didn't just make that up, or even dig through the archives. We stole it from Gazette Newspapers sports editor Mike Guardabascio, whose not-at-all-ineptly titled book "Football in Long Beach" is on sale everywhere now.
Our History Press labelmate looks at the sport's greatest days at all of the area high schools as well as Long Beach State and Long Beach City colleges and their contributions to the game. Naturally, the biggest chunk of the thoroughly researched book is devoted to Poly, which we can't quibble with, even though we would've titled the book, "Football in Long Beach: Wilson and Assorted Other Schools." The way Poly has been playing this year, we wonder if there's such a thing as a Guardabascio Curse. Maybe he should stay mum on the Bruins after all.
In fact, Guardabascio will be in Wilson Territory to discuss and sign his new book from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday at Apostrophe Books, 4712 E. Second St. Swing by and pick up a copy.
POETRY AT GATSBY: At our other favorite book store, Gatsby Books, in our part of town, you can see a half dozen of Long Beach's finest poets at a reading Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. in the store at 5535 E. Spring St.
You get Anna Badua, Donna Hilbert, Kevin Lee, Tamera Madison, Clint Margrave and Paul Kareem Tayyar. These are big names on the local scene. It's a $30 value, but you get it all for a suggested donation of $10, which goes toward the big poetry bash, the annual Beside the City Of Angeles Long Beach Poetry Festival, which will come to Gatsby's this year on Oct. 13.
You'll want to bring a little extra, too, for wine, baked goods and, natcherly, books.
FRIDAY PLAYLIST: The California Women's Conference is back, celebrating empowerment, resources, philanthropy and personal development, with speakers, entertainers, discussions and swag.
It's a two-day bash on Sunday and Monday at the Long Beach Convention Center. For the entire slate, check out www.californiawomesconference.com. And, to get yourself psyched up for the bash, plug these tunes into your pretty little head:
3. "Superwoman," Stevie Wonder
4. "Man Smart, Woman Smarter," Roseanne Cash
7. "You Oughta Know," Alanis Morissette

Blue Dog Fundraising Climbs as Coalition Fights Extinction
March 20, 2012 | Blue Dog Democrats are an endangered species on Capitol Hill, but their fundraising suggests they may be clawing their way back with a little help from Democratic leadership PACs, among others.
Blue Dog Democrats Ramp Up Fund-Raising for 2012 Election
July 20, 2011 | After nearly half the coalition was wiped out in the 2010 elections, Blue Dog Democrats are becoming more and more of an endangered species. Just 25 Blue Dogs remain in office. But if money is any indication, those Blue Dogs that remain appear ready to put up a tough fight in 2012.
Speaker Heath Shuler, Political Nonprofits and More in Capital Eye Opener: January 6
January 6, 2011 | Top Blue Dog Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) is not the new speaker of the House. But he did cast a protest vote for himself on Wednesday -- and so did 10 of his House colleagues, nine of whom are also Blue Dogs.
Blue Dog Democrats Display Stronger Than Average Fund-Raising in 2009
February 24, 2010 | Whether it was health care reform, cap and trade climate proposals or financial regulatory reform, Blue Dog Democrats were often at the center of Congress' top legislative fights. This caucus of 54 moderate and conservative House Democrats was also at the center of political fund-raising in 2009, the Center for Responsive Politics has found.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Health Insurers Continue to Woo Blue Dog Democrats in Congress
August 20, 2009 | The 52 fiscally conservative House Democrats known as the Blue Dogs and playing prominent roles in the nation's health care reform debate continue to collect campaign funds from health insurers at a greater rate than their non-Blue Dog counterparts, tCRP has found.
Blue Dog Bark Backed by Insurers
June 25, 2009 | There's a particular breed of lawmaker on Capitol Hill that is pushing hard against a public health care plan, much to the delight of two seriously moneyed special interest groups-insurers and pharmaceuticals. They're the Blue Dogs: moderate, vocal and funded in part by the industries trying to protect their bottom line.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Races to Watch VI: Candidates Backed by PACs
October 1, 2008 | More than a quarter of the money raised by congressional candidates on the November ballot has come from business and labor PACs, not from individual donors, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Capital Eye has profiled some races where labor union and business PAC money is playing the largest role.

Bill Barry has the same message for the Conservative party following Frank Coleman's resignation that he did the day he walked away from the leadership race.
The Corner Brook businessman withdrew from the race in April. At the time, he was leaving fellow businessman and friend Frank Coleman to assume the leadership and become the province's next premier.
Barry believed the leadership race was pre-determined by party insiders. One-by-one, Tory ministers and MHAs announced their support of Coleman in the race. Former premier Danny Williams was highly critical of Barry and his views expressed during the campaign.
With the entire process of searching for a new leader about to reset, he was again suggesting change Monday.
"My recommendation to them — whether it means anything to anybody or not, which it probably doesn't — would be to initiate the most open, democratic process that has ever existed in Newfoundland to elect a leader," Barry said.
He said a ballot box should be placed in every riding and every person over 18 is eligible to vote.
He also said everybody over 18 should be encouraged to run for the job ... and without certain financial obligations.
"Let people go into that ballot box in the individual riding and select a new leader for the PC party and ultimately for the province," he said. "Then, you have real democracy."
He was skeptical as to whether his "grassroots" process would be considered as opposed to the "backroom dealings of power elites."
Barry said he quit in his quest for the leadership because of the process that was in place. Coleman's resignation brings no regrets to him. He said he has given no consideration to entering the race again. To even consider it, he said there must be an open and transparent selection process.
"If I had my time back, I would have done it in the exact same way," he said.
His thoughts Monday on the surprise announcement were of concern for the Coleman family.

Atrial myxoma
An atrial myxoma is a noncancerous tumor in the upper left or right side of the heart. It grows on the wall that separates the two sides of the heart. This wall is called the atrial septum.
A myxoma is a primary heart (cardiac) tumor. This means that the tumor started within the heart. Most heart tumors start somewhere else.
Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Myxomas are the most common type of these rare tumors. About 75% of myxomas occur in the left atrium of the heart, usually beginning in the wall that divides the two upper chambers of the heart. The rest are in the right atrium. Right atrial myxomas are sometimes associated with tricuspid stenosis and atrial fibrillation.
Myxomas are more common in women. About1 in 10 myxomas are passed down through families (inherited). Such tumors are called familial myxomas. They tend to occur in more than one part of the heart at a time, and often cause symptoms at a younger age.
Symptoms may occur at any time, but most often they go along with a change in body position.
Symptoms of a myxoma may include:
- Breathing difficulty when lying flat
- Breathing difficulty when asleep
- Chest pain or tightness
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Sensation of feeling your heart beat (palpitations)
- Shortness of breath with activity
The symptoms and signs of left atrial myxomas often mimic mitral stenosis. Right atrial myxomas rarely produce symptoms until they have grown to be at least 5 inches wide.
Other symptoms may include:
- Blueness of skin, especially the fingers (Raynaud's phenomenon)
- Cough
- Curvature of nails accompanied with soft tissue swelling (clubbing) of the fingers
- Fever
- Fingers that change color upon pressure or with cold or stress
- General discomfort (malaise)
- Losing weight without trying
- Joint pain
- Swelling - any part of the body
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and listen to your heart using a tool called astethoscope. Abnormal heart sounds or a murmur may be heard. These sounds may change when you change body position.
Imaging tests may include:
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan of chest
- Echocardiogram
- Doppler study
- Heart MRI
- Left heart angiography
- Right heart angiography
Blood tests:
A complete blood count may show anemia and increased white blood cells. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is increased.
Surgery is needed to remove the tumor. Some patients will also need their mitral valve replaced. This can be done during the same surgery.
Myxomas may come back if surgery did not remove all of the tumor cells.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Although a myxoma is not cancer, complications are common.
Untreated, a myxoma can lead to an embolism (tumor cells breaking off and traveling with the bloodstream), which can block blood flow or cause the tumor to grow in another part of the body. Pieces of the tumor can move to the brain, eye, or limbs.
If the tumor grows inside the heart, it can block blood flow. This may require emergency surgery to prevent sudden death.
Possible Complications
- Arrhythmias
- Pulmonary edema
- Peripheral emboli
- Spread (metastasis) of the tumor
- Blockage of the mitral heart valve

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview dated September 10th, 2011
Surat al-Zumar, 32:
"Who could do greater wrong than those who lie about Allah and deny the truth [the Qur'an] when it comes to them? Do the unbelievers not have a dwelling place in Hell?"
"I speak on the basis of the Qur'an," you say. But they say, "That is not enough." "So what is to be done?" "Let us add an idol and speak on the basis of that idol, too" they say. Allah has set it all out in the Qur'an. He says He has left nothing out. But some people still say the Qur'an is deficient. "How are we to complete it?" we ask. "With an idol," they say. Allah will turn that idol against him. "Do the unbelievers not have a dwelling place in Hell? He Who brings the truth and He Who confirms it"
As for those who see the sufficiency of the Qur'an, "…those are the people who are heedful." If they say, "the Qur'an is sufficient," then Allah says they are heedful, insha'Allah."They will have anything they wish for with their Lord. That is the recompense of the good-doers.""Is Allah not enough for His servant? Yet they try to scare you with others apart from Him." I once opened the Qur'an in times of trouble and this verse appeared before me, insha'Allah. "If Allah misguides someone, he has no guide."
They tried really hard to prevent me talking about materialism and Darwinism. When I first spoke about the way of the Mahdi the fanatics all went crazy. They threatened and pressurized me. But I kept right on talking about it, and am still doing so. They cannot and will not stop me. "And if Allah guides someone, he cannot be misguided. Is Allah not Almighty, Exactor of Revenge?"
Now they praise themselves. Who should you praise? Allah. Allah has two effects. He creates, and He also creates the appreciation of what He creates. He creates beautifully, and creates fervor out of beauty. He creates an effect and the appreciation thereof. All three belong to Allah. That is a beauty beloved of Allah. And that is what Allah will apply in paradise, insha'Allah.2011-11-15 21:55:38

BELLEVUE, WA -- Coinstar Inc. disclosed that it's going to be offering more in bonds to investors than was previously announced. The company that operates its namesake coin-counting machines and Redbox DVD movie rental kiosks is seeking to raise $350 million by selling six-year senior unsecured notes (bonds) to private investors. That's $50 million more than previously announced on March 4.
The notes will carry a 6% annual interest rate, up to 1% higher than was earlier expected due to concern over the long-term viability of the Redbox automated DVD-rental business, Coinstar's main revenue source. The sale will close on March 12.
Last month, Coinstar said its fourth-quarter profit fell 27%, hit by higher expenses from new ventures, while Redbox revenue growth slowed. The Bellevue, WA, company recently entered the streaming video business in a bid to compete with online companies like Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., and is preparing to launch other vending services. These new undertakings, Coinstar reported, drove expenses up 11% during the quarter that ended Dec. 31. | SEE STORY

J.W. Anderson Spring 2014
Jonathan Anderson is the latest British designer to have risen to a top slot in the international spotlight. Speculation about whether he'll imminently sign with LVMH is rife—and if so, he'll be the second of the inhabitants of Shacklewell Lane (the London East End studio hotspot) to be the target of investment by a French mega-organization. Christopher Kane, who works just down the street, is taking over yet more floors of his building after selling a majority stake to Kering, the Parisian rival of LVMH earlier this year.
So the bleachers at the J.W. Anderson show were packed with heavy-hitting store buyers and members of the press from the United States, and every other territory that matters in global fashion, ready to assess the spring collection the designer called "modern peasantry."
Well, it was beautiful, even touching on the poetic in parts—textured geometries in corrugated pleats and embossed herringbone pleather, transparencies bisected with elasticated gathers, delicately draped and ruched chiffon suspended from thread-fine halters. In recent seasons, Anderson has departed sharply from the preppy, sporty sweaters, kilts, and A-line skirts he began with—and which he now saves for his highly commercial pre-collections. On the runway, he's been developing something more conceptual: clothes without a literal theme or heritage—unless you count the influence of Issey Miyake in the textiles, perhaps. Last season, his determination to break into experimental shapes came as a shock, raising questions about wearability as well as muttered criticisms about the heaviness of some of his fabrics. But this season, all that was resolved. He's breaking new ground, but lightly.
One test of innovative design is the degree to which it confounds the standard fashion vocabulary. Thus the term conceptual doesn't adequately capture these clothes, because in normal usage, that implies a kind of abstract, clinical approach to the body. Actually, Anderson's hipper than that. His design has a sexier intention: strange surprises like skirts that are long in front and short at the back, the reduction of the idea of a camisole to a rectangle of fabric held on with string-fine straps, abstract wrapped tops that turn to show naked backs.
In the general flow of the season, this collection also hits on current ideas that are beginning to catch the eye—the new midi length, worn with flat, unshowy shoes—and makes it all look serenely desirable. And along the way, there's plenty here that shows this boy's pragmatic knack for a brilliant takeaway item. You don't have to be young to be able to carry off one of his subtly sequined asymmetric skirts, or an embossed leather vest. And every sophisticated woman with an eye for a bag will zoom in on the genius of the two he showed—a pleated leather drawstring pouch and a structured shape with a top handle made out of one continuous piece of leather. That's evidence enough of a mind that—even from the rough end of Shacklewell Lane—can see what the future of luxury could look like.

Mines professors selected for National Academy of Engineering symposium
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 7, 2011 – Mines Assistant Professor Kip Findley and Associate Professor Matthew Liberatore will join some of the nation's most innovative, young engineering educators at the National Academy of Engineering's third Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium, Nov. 13-16 in Irvine, Calif.
Early-career faculty members who are developing and implementing innovative educational approaches in a variety of engineering disciplines will come together for the event, where they can share ideas, learn from research and best practice in education and leave with a charter to bring about improvement in their home institution.
The attendees were nominated by fellow engineers or deans and chosen from a highly competitive pool of applicants.
"The Frontiers of Engineering Education program creates a unique venue for engineering faculty members to share and explore interesting and effective innovations in teaching and learning," said NAE President Charles M. Vest. "We want FOEE to become a major force in identifying, recognizing and promulgating advances and innovations in order to build a strong intellectual infrastructure and commitment to 21st-century engineering education."
This year's program will focus on teaching leading-edge engineering knowledge, project-based learning, active and self-directed learning and assessment of student learning and education innovation.
"In our increasingly global and competitive world, the United States needs to marshal its resources to address the strategic shortfall of engineering leaders in the next decades," said Edward F. Crawley, Ford Professor of Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the chair of the FOEE planning committee. "By holding this event, we have recognized some of the finest young engineering educators in the nation, and will better equip them to transform the educational process at their universities."
Findley is faculty in the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department's Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center. Liberatore heads the Liberatore Rheology Laboratory and is faculty in the Chemical and Biological Engineering Department.

Mummies return to Albany Institute of History of Art
Photos courtesy of 810 & 103.1 WGY's Read Shepherd
It's going to be a whole new way of looking at something that's been around for more than a century. Officials at the Albany Institute of History and Art are putting the final touches on their highly-anticipated "Mystery of the Albany Mummies" exhibit - all centered around the two mummies that have been on continuous display since 1909. Through a very fortuitous set of circumstances, Egyptologist Dr. Peter Lacovara was able to find two pieces of the coffin originally buried with one of the mummies several thousand years ago and helped bring everything together for the first time in more than a century.
For years, museum officials thought they had a male and a female. But recent high-tech scans at Albany Med showed that both were male, and one was a priest and sculptor.
The exhibit opens Saturday. For more CLICK HERE

You're at a Justin Bieber ConcertBy Evan James
About a year and a half ago—when we were all still riding high on the platinum-certified Justin Bieber of My World 2.0; we didn't even have the very spirited Christmas album, Under the Mistletoe, yet—I spent a day as a guest educator at an elementary school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In my role as underqualified outsider, I oversaw a battery of improv activities I had made up the night before (taught being too strong a word, for I taught those wee lads and lasses nothing, save that pretending to be in a school-bus accident is more fun than learning how to write in cursive). At my command, the Midwestern moppets acted out one fantastical situation after another: they walked through imaginary mansions in a game called "Real Estate Agent," took turns delivering absurd one-word-at-a-time answers as a guest on my daytime talk show, "Three-Headed Expert." When the time came for a relatively simple activity that required them to act out situations as I named them ("You're at the grocery store!" "You're coming home from school!"), I provided a couple of mundane prompts, and then, unable to control myself any longer, played my ace.
"You're at a Justin Bieber concert!"
Some of the girls threw themselves on the ground in a shrieking rapture; others ran around the classroom in hysterics, shouting "Justin! I love you, Justin!" One young lady, offended by the suggestion that she ought to join this breathless frenzy, stood unmoving and angry, her arms hanging at her sides. "I hate Justin Bieber!" she whined. Most of the boys were with her, groaning, pretending to vomit, plugging their ears. Of all the scenarios I guided them through that day, the imaginary Justin Bieber concert was the hardest to break up. It took me several minutes to regain their attention.

ConfusionDisorientation; Thinking - unclear; Thoughts - cloudy
Confusion is the inability to think as clearly or quickly as you normally do. You may feel disoriented and having difficulty paying attention, remembering, and making decisions.
See also: Dementia
Confusion may come on quickly or slowly over time, depending on the cause. Many times, confusion is temporary. Other times it is permanent and not curable. It may be associated with delirium or dementia.
Confusion is more common in the elderly, and often occurs during a hospital stay.
Some confused people may have strange or unusual behavior or may act aggressively.
- Alcohol intoxication
- Brain tumor
- Concussion
- Fever
- Fluid and electrolyte imbalance
- Head trauma or head injury
- Illness in an elderly person
- Illness in a person with existing neurological disease such as a stroke
- Infections
- Lack of sleep (sleep deprivation)
- Low blood sugar
- Low levels of oxygen (for example, from chronic lung disorders)
- Medications
- Nutritional deficiencies, especially niacin, thiamine, vitamin C, or vitamin B12
- Seizures
- Sudden drop in body temperature (hypothermia)
Home Care
A good way to find out if someone is confused is to ask the person his or her name, age, and the date. If they are unsure or answer incorrectly, they are confused.
For sudden confusion due to low blood sugar (for example, from diabetes medication), the person should drink a sweet drink or eat a sweet snack. If the confusion lasts longer than 10 minutes, call the doctor.
A confused person should not be left alone. For safety, the person may need physical restraints.
To help a confused person:
- Always introduce yourself, no matter how well the person once knew you.
- Often remind the person of his or her location.
- Place a calendar and clock near the person.
- Talk about current events and plans for the day.
- Try to keep the surroundings calm, quiet, and peaceful.
For sudden confusion due to low blood sugar (for example, from diabetes medication), the person should drink a sweet drink or eat a sweet snack. If the confusion lasts longer than 10 minutes, call the doctor.

When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call 911 if:
- Confusion has come on suddenly or there are other symptoms such as:
- Cold or clammy skin
- Dizziness or feeling faint
- Fast pulse
- Fever
- Headache
- Slow or rapid breathing
- Uncontrolled shivering
- Confusion has come on suddenly in someone with diabetes.
- Confusion came on after a head injury.
- The person becomes unconscious at any time.
If you have been experiencing confusion, call for an appointment with your doctor.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The doctor will do a physical examination and ask questions such as:
- Does the person get days and nights mixed up? Is he or she awake during the usual sleep time?
- Does the person have trouble recognizing people?
- Does the person know where he or she is?
- Does he or she know the date and time?
- Can the person answer questions correctly?
- Is the person always confused?
- Are there many episodes of confusion?
- Is the confusion quickly getting worse?
- Does the confusion come and go?
- Has there been any recent illness?
- Has there been a recent head injury?
- Is the person diabetic?
- Does the person have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, or a similar lung disorder?
- What medications is the person taking?
- Has there been any exposure to other drugs or alcohol?
Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- CT scan of the head
- Electroencephelogram EEG
- Mental status tests
- Neuropsychological tests
- Urine tests
- Don't drink too much alcohol
- Eat a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals

Winning 55.23 percent of the vote, incumbent Robert Hastings defeated Cindy Roach 9,790 votes to 7,935, securing a second four-year term as Levy County school district superintendent.
Roach, a former teacher and teachers union president, said her campaign was unable to overcome Hastings' name recognition and advantages as incumbent.
"We knew it was an uphill battle to run against an incumbent, but (losing by 1,855) votes isn't too shabby," Roach said. "I'm real proud of what we did."

The international, randomized, controlled, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (TH-CR-406/SARC021) conducted in partnership with the
The objectives of the Phase 1 trial in advanced leukemias was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT), safety, tolerability, clinical activity and pharmacokinetics of TH-302 in patients for whom no curative therapy exists. Thirty-eight patients with either acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) were treated in the study. The trial investigated TH-302 doses ranging from 120 mg/m2 to 550 mg/m2 daily for 5 days of a 21-day cycle. The maximum tolerated daily dose (MTD) of TH-302 was established at 460 mg/m2. Efficacy assessments demonstrated TH-302 single agent activity in multiple subjects with relapsed/refractory AML and ALL as evidenced by stabilization or reduction of bone marrow and peripheral blast counts. One patient with refractory AML treated in the dose expansion at 460 mg/m2 had a complete response (CR) including clearing of the peripheral and bone marrow blasts. A second patient had a complete response with incomplete platelet recovery (CRp) and also had resolution of leukemia cutis. Only 3 of the 38 subjects experienced a non-hematologic grade 3 adverse event related to TH-302; each of these was mucosal toxicity.
About Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Sarcomas are a group of aggressive cancers of connective tissue of the body for which there are currently limited treatment options. Soft tissue sarcomas are treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Doxorubicin as a single agent or in combination with ifosfamide are the most commonly used chemotherapeutic regimens in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, but response rates are generally low and toxicity can be significant. The
About Advanced Leukemia
Advanced leukemia is an acute or chronic cancer involving the blood-forming tissues in the bone marrow. It may be classified as myeloid or lymphoid. According to the
About TH-302
TH-302 is a hypoxia-targeted drug designed to be selectively activated under tumor hypoxic conditions, a hallmark of many cancer indications. Areas of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) within tissues are common in many solid tumors due to insufficient blood vessel growth. Similarly, the bone marrow of patients with hematological malignancies has also been shown, in some cases, to be hypoxic.
TH-302 has been investigated in over 600 patients in Phase 1/2 clinical trials to date in a broad spectrum of tumor types, both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy treatments and other targeted cancer drugs. Threshold has several additional ongoing clinical trials, the most advanced of which is a Phase 3 pivotal study evaluating TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone in patients with soft tissue sarcoma, and recently completed a Phase 2 trial of TH-302 in combination with gemcitabine versus gemcitabine alone in pancreatic cancer. In
Threshold is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of drugs targeting tumor hypoxia, the low oxygen condition found in microenvironments of most solid tumors as well as the bone marrows of some hematologic malignancies. This approach offers broad potential to treat a variety of cancers. By selectively targeting tumor cells, Threshold is building a pipeline of drugs that hold promise to be more effective and less toxic to healthy tissues than conventional anticancer drugs.

January 16, 2013 – TaxTalk Blog
So, how do you plan on referring to the year 2013? Two-thousand and thirteen? Twenty-thirteen? While I don't know if there is a preferred way to refer to it, I do know there is something coming up soon no matter how you pronounce it: individuals will begin filing their federal and state income tax returns.
Now I'm not saying you need to start thinking about filing your taxes when they aren't even due until April 15, 2013. But, if you're a planner, we thought you'd appreciate a preview.
Here are a couple of things to check out:
Automatic Taxpayer Refund Credit
The Indiana General Assembly passed legislation providing for an Automatic Taxpayer Refund (ATR) credit for tax year 2012.
You may be eligible for the credit if you meet all three of the following qualifications. You must:
The refundable credit that has been authorized for 2012 is $111 per eligible taxpayer ($222 for an eligible married couple filing a joint return). Dependents are not eligible to claim the ATR unless filing their own state tax return.
You should claim the ATR credit when filing your Indiana income tax return. For more information about this credit, see the instructions in the IT-40, IT-40EZ or IT-40PNR instruction booklets.
Free federal/state electronic filing – available Jan. 30, 2013
Indiana continues to offer a free tax filing service through INfreefile, a cooperative effort with the national Free File Alliance. Eligible Indiana taxpayers can file both the federal and Indiana individual tax returns using highly interactive and easy-to-use web-based applications that speed both returns and refunds.
Twenty-four states will be using the Free File option for 2012. And, you have the selection of multiple vendors to use for this free service. The Department of Revenue estimates that nearly 1 million Indiana taxpayers will be eligible for this free service. You may be one. In fact, more than 118,000 Hoosier taxpayers used INfreefile last year and expressed a very high satisfaction rate with the service.
Visit www.freefile.dor.in.gov on or after Jan. 30, 2013 to see if you are eligible to participate in Indiana's INfreefile program.
You can get the low-down on all the individual tax updates and forms at www.in.gov/dor/4657.htm Be sure to check out page 3 of the IT-40 booklet for a list of all the changes for 2013. And Happy New Year to you and yours.

ODOT to close all I-84 westbound lanes
All westbound lanes of I-84 from I-205 to I-5 in Portland will close at 10 p.m. Friday July 19 in the second of three weekend closures for paving.
The westbound freeway will re-open by 5 a.m. Monday July 22. Motorists around the Pacific Northwest traveling through the Portland area this weekend should plan an alternate route or expect delays.
The easiest ways to avoid the delays are to take alternate routes farther to the north or south of I-84 including Lombard or Columbia Boulevard to the north and Highway 224 to the south.
People going to the American Idol Live concert Saturday night will want to leave early or take TriMet.
The westbound lanes will close again from 11 p.m. Saturday Aug. 3 to 5 a.m. Monday Aug. 5.

Miley Cyrus' home burglarized, Maserati stolen
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Miley Cyrus may need a better security system.
On Friday, the "Wrecking Ball" singer's home was robbed for the second time this year. The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating a burglary at the home of the 21-year-old performer, The Insider With Yahoo confirms.
"On May 30, 2014, around 4 p.m., North Hollywood officers responded to a radio call of a burglary, in the North Hollywood Area. A male and female scaled a fence to gain access to the property," the LAPD said in a statement. "They removed property including jewelry and a 2014 white, 4-door Maserati Quattroporte."
No word on the estimated value of the jewelry stolen, but the Maserati has a projected sticker price of $102,500.
Cyrus's assistant reportedly came home and found things out of place and called the cops, according to E! News. Police revealed there were no signs of forced entry.
Cyrus wasn't home at the time of the crime. She is currently overseas on her Bangerz tour in Europe, set to perform in Copenhagen on Wednesday.
After the bad news broke, she tweeted,
ya know when you just cry in the shower for no reason 😿🚿😿🚿
— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) June 1, 2014
Followed with another tweet, "so fu—in homesick."
Unfortunately for the former Disney darling, this is the second time her pad has been pilfered. In November, one day after her 21st birthday, she had property stolen from her house while she was away on her tour. There were no signs of forced entry during that burglary either.
LAPD are asking for tips as their investigation continues.

9/11 Truth Heroine Confronts 9/11 Official Spokesman Ex-Chief Fire-fighter Dan Daly
Submitted by John Bursill
Below is a moving and powerful story by one of the hardest working and most determined 9/11 Truth Advocates I know, Naomi Breeze. She has guts and determination in spades and will not be stopped in her quest to get justice for the victims of the 9/11 attacks that include ten Australians!
Solo Truth Action in Newcastle, Australia on the 14 of May 2010
Story by Naomi Breeze
After stumbling across 9/11 Truth on the internet about three years ago I contacted John Bursill of 9/11 Truth Australia and have been a passionate 9/11 Truther ever since. I feel privileged to have been involved with two successful conferences in Sydney, Australia and am honoured to have met some of my 9/11 Truth heroes.
I attended a talk in my hometown of Newcastle on 14 May 2010 by ex-Fire Fighter, ex-Chief Dan Daly, about 9/11 and how it changed his life. The talk was organised by a Catholic Church Chaplain through his Passionist Family Group and cost $5.00. The Chaplain is a personal friend of Dan and was in New York on September 11, 2001.
Some background on Dan: http://www.chiefdaly.com/
Dan Daly was promoted to Fire Captain with Engine 52 in 2001. The service was to take place on September 12, 2001. On September 11, 2001 his rig was one of the last to arrive at the Twin Towers. He and his crew arrived from the Bronx just as WTC 7 collapsed. He spent the next six months at Ground Zero. Dan retired in November 2002 and spent five years with the State Department's Cultural Educational Exchange Program. Dan has given speeches worldwide. His clients include US Department of State, King Pharmaceutical and Lehman Brothers. Dan has been an Ambassador of Peace for the US Department of State.
Dan is the founder of Fire Fighters for Humanity, a non-profit organisation committed to uniting fire fighters worldwide in serving people everywhere. The program stared with NYC fire fighters supporting disabled people and disabled war vets. Dan spends much of his time working as a volunteer with wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan as well as teaching public speaking in prisons. Through his speeches Dan hopes to entertain, educate and inspire the listener.
Anyway, I arrived a couple of minutes late but was warmly welcomed to the front row by the Chaplain. There were about 60 regular churchgoers in attendance but unfortunately no fire fighters.
Dan's talk was interesting and inspirational, despite reference to the pancake theory and namedropping Colin Powell and Henry Kissinger, both of whom he had given speeches for at their request. He also discussed the high temperatures and continual fires at Ground Zero at which point I raised my hand and said "there was molten metal." Dan then asked if anyone had any questions:
Me: Do you support the victims' family members who are demanding a new independent investigation into the events of September 11 based on the new scientific evidence that has come to light concerning controlled demolition and the presence of the explosive, thermite, in the dust samples?
Dan: (seething with anger) I saw a TV show about this and it was called Bullshit which is what I think of this crap. This girl is from one of these fringe groups who have sprung up that believe no planes hit the Twin Towers.
Me: That is incorrect. The 9/11 Truth Movement was started by the family members and is made up of millions of concerned citizens. We do not believe that no planes hit the buildings. Our evidence concerns controlled demolition and thermite.
Dan then repeated his comments at which point I stood up and addressed the audience for one minute, mainly telling them that the victims' family members wanted people to see this evidence. I mentioned Fire Fighters for 9/11 Truth, Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth (the Monsignor nearly fell off his chair). I asked Dan if he had seen the peer reviewed and unchallenged scientific paper concerning the presence of thermite in the dust samples and he said "I don't want to see it." I attempted to hand him a copy but he refused to take it.
I then told the audience that I had plenty of information and DVDs for them. At this point there were a few cries of "sit down" and the Chaplain stood up and said "why don't you find a nice man, get married and have babies." I kid you not. I rolled my eyes and sat down. You could hear a pin drop. More questions from the audience including "are there actually two Seattle's?"
Dan: Any more questions?
Me: How many buildings collapsed on September 11?
Dan: There were 7 buildings in the WTC complex.
Me: Yes, but how many collapsed on September 11?
Dan: I've answered your question. There were 7 buildings.
Me: No, you haven't answered my question. I asked how many buildings collapsed on September 11. I read an interview where you said that you watched Building 7 collapse.
Dan ignored me and finished his talk with an amusing anecdote. I was now the most unpopular person in the room. I proceeded to hand out as much information as I could - general 9/11 facts cards, AE911 facts cards, DVDs (Zero/ Loose Change), information from Fire Fighters for 9/11 Truth, Ken Jenkins' article on psychology, and articles about thermite and the health of the First Responders.
Most people took the information. Most people told me I was rude and that this wasn't the time and place (not true) and that I had arrived with an agenda (true). I apologised to everyone and tried to charm as many people as possible. Once I apologised, they were stuck - then they had to listen.
I had varying degrees of success. Two teenage boys were fascinated when I gave them a copy of Loose Change and told them it was the most downloaded movie in internet history, although one of them said "you can't always believe science because science once said the world was flat." I said that we called people who believed the Official Conspiracy Theory "Flat Earthers" which he found amusing.
One lady told me she didn't need any information because she had been to New York. Another lady said that 9/11 was ages ago and it doesn't matter because it won't bring back the deceased people. An Engineer told me he had looked at the evidence and didn't believe it. I responded to these remarks with the standard replies.
I made a teenage girl cry. She was upset that I was "rude to a hero." I explained that in my opinion the true heroes were the people fighting for 9/11 Truth and told her it was wonderful to see her compassion and to get in touch once she had looked at the information because we needed kind and caring people like her. By the end she was okay. I think she was just a bit shocked. I was too. I've never made anyone cry about 9/11 Truth before.
The Chaplain apologised for his earlier comment but kept saying "you're a good looking girl, why do you care about this stuff?" We chatted for about ten minutes and he was very open and listened carefully. This information was new to him and he seemed genuinely interested. He promised to look at the information (including the thermite paper) and watch the DVDs. We finished with a hug and I ended up really liking him. After most people had left, I approached Dan with the Chaplain.
Me: Can we talk now Dan?
Dan: I'm not talking to you. You're rude. Don't you know about the sanctity of the stage (it was actually the floor).
Me: I apologise, Dan. I asked a simple question about the victims' family members demanding a new investigation. I'm sorry if it upset you so much. I apologise.
Dan: I don't care. I'm not talking to you.
Chaplain: She's apologised Dan. You should talk to her. She seems like a sincere and good person.
Dan bolted out the back door as the Chaplain stood there stunned. I told the Chaplain that "the reason he won't talk to me is because he knows I'm right."
These people were not the usual crowd I would try and enlighten about 9/11 Truth. If they got nothing else out of it, they now know that the victims' family members are demanding a new investigation based on new evidence. I must have said "victims' family members" about 100 times. I knew it would be difficult doing this on my own as it is always good to have backup and I felt guilty for upsetting people.
The sad part is that Dan is a truly fantastic speaker. He has that awesome Bronx accent and looked great in his FDNY uniform. If only he was one of us. I sent a follow up email to the Chaplain linking relevant information and ended with this:
It is very difficult for people who are hearing this information for the first time to comprehend the huge scale of 9/11 Truth worldwide and the millions of people involved. To gain an understanding I would suggest looking at www.911blogger.com daily for one week.
I would love to have both you and Dan involved in 9/11 Truth although I certainly won't hold my breath. Please pass on to Dan that I thought he was a fantastic speaker and looked great in his uniform.
If Dan became involved in 9/11 Truth he would be guaranteed the respect and
admiration of millions of people around the world. Not to mention a place in
history (and on the right side too!). 9/11 Truth is not going away and grows
stronger every day. There are no people more passionate about 9/11 Truth than
those who thought it was bullshit (Dan's word) but decided to have a look at
the compelling evidence and were convinced. Our door is always open. We need

Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck Take Their Girls Ice Skating!
One of the most normal and happy families in Hollywood at least seems to be Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their three kids, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. Maybe that's because the family keeps their home base in Boston and only lives in Tinseltown when one of them is working. Regardless, Ben and Jennifer seems to be awesome and involved parents who keep their kds out of the limelight and give them as regular a life as possible. I couldn't stop clicking through these photos of the couple watching their doppelganger daughters (Violet is the spitting image of Jennifer, while Seraphina looks just like Ben) practice iceskating. From what I can tell, Violet is already better on the ice than I ever was! Click through to see more pics of the family being just ridiculously sweet together. [Photos: Fame/Flynet]

The Texas State Retired Faculty and Staff Association began in the summer of 2006 when an ad hoc group of about 15 retirees met with University Advancement personnel to explore ways to enhance the relationship between retirees and the university.
The organization has grown to include over 270 members. After adopting a constitution, and electing officers for the 2008-2009 academic year, the RFSA had accomplished its goal of creating a representative group of university retirees who wanted to stay connected and make a difference.
The Retired Faculty and Staff Association aspires to:
All Texas State retired faculty and staff and their surviving spouses are eligible for membership, and retirees from other accredited colleges and universities living in the San Marcos area are eligible for associate membership. There are no dues; however, tax-deductible donations are always graciously accepted.
Want to join? The link, Join RFSA will get you there. Want to see what members are saying and doing right now? This link will take you directly to our Facebook page.
Either way, welcome. We're happy to have you!

The Neapolitan Riviera is an increasingly popular area and has a lot to offer in the way of beauty. Every year, couples and families come to the area to relax and see the beauty that it holds. No transfer in the Neapolitan Riviera is too long, giving you plenty of time on the holiday itself. The beaches in the area are very popular with the Bay of Naples being home to many volcanic beaches. There are also a number of pebble beaches which are very popular to walk along. Accommodation in the Neapolitan Riviera is good, with a number of hotels situated in picturesque buildings. All accommodation is of very good quality making them perfect for all tourists.
A must when staying in the Neapolitan Riviera is to go and visit the ancient city of Pompeii. The city is completely preserved after it was wiped off the map when Mount Vesuvius erupted. The city is a brilliant place to experience the history and culture of the Romans. The beaches are brilliant places to explore with a range of coves lining them. Relaxing on one of the golden beaches is also very popular. The Amalfi Coast is a must see, where you can drive through mountains and along curved roads, taking in spectacular sights. There are plenty of chances for you to go island hopping to places such as Capri or Ischia where you will find stunning beaches, shops and restaurants.
The Neapolitan Riviera has a number of restaurants to choose from; some lining the beaches and others further into town. All of the restaurants are of a good quality and offer some brilliant cuisines to ensure that no one goes hungry. You will obviously find a lot of Italian food such as pizzas and pasta as well as a lot of seafood such as octopus or squid. When it comes to nightlife, it is fairly quiet. The main source of nightlife is the restaurants, cafés and few bars. However, in Naples, you will find open-air discos and clubs to be enjoyed. Shopping in the area is brilliant with a very wide variety of clothing, both high street and designer up for grabs. You will also find souvenirs, craft shops, antique stores, and jewellery stores. Public transport is both efficient and reasonably priced in the form of taxis and buses.
The Neapolitan Riviera has brilliant summers, with very warm temperatures and around 10 hours of sunshine a day. July and August are the warmest months with average temperatures of around 28°C. Coastal breezes also help to keep the levels of humidity down and keep you comfortable. In the evenings, the temperature only drops to around 19°C. Rainfall is very unlikely in the summer months making your holiday even more enjoyable. From may through to October, weather is very good with temperatures remaining above 20°C in the quieter months and 8 hours of sunshine a day from May to June and September to October. During, Spring, Autumn and Winter there is chance of rainfall, however this is not always very heavy and you can still carry out many activities.

Hey,I am making a web-based application written in PHP and MYSQL (My first full app, hooray!).I won't go into details much, but here is a dilemma I have:
The application will have events, and users who didn't read the event content yet should see the event as "NEW".Now, the question is how to implement it.
I have a users and Events tables in my database.
Adding all the IDs of user who did see the event to the Events DB seems a bad idea, the DB will grow very quickly.Reversing the process and deleting IDs of users who saw the event seems better, but the Event row in the DB increases size and that impacts.
So I thought of adding each "NEW" Event ID to every user who didn't see it. Seems more logical to me. When the event is no longer "NEW" to the user, the Event ID gets deleted. That way the load is distributed among the users.Plus I can clear "NEW" events once in a while.
If you have a better way of implementing it (a "CONNECTION" object perhaps), please advise.
The post was written quickly, excuse the bad explanation.
Thanks in advance.
Unless you have loads of users I really doubt you'll have issues with just storing a "UserViewedEvents" table of some sort if you need to track if an individual user has seen an event.
Now, the quick and dirty way is to just track the user's last visit and then mark anything newer than said visit as "new".
Hey,I would like to store a list of integers in a row.Each row represents a user.The list can grow and shrink, but it has to be attached to a particular user.
What is the best data type for a list of numbers?
What do the numbers in the list represent? Do you need to do something with those numbers? It might be better to create a seperate table for the numbers that has a 1:N relation with your users table, but that really depends on what those numbers are and what you want to do with them.
I want to highlight new events that are added.The list (comma separated) will be loaded into a variable, and if an event ID matches than the event hasn't been viewed by the user yet, it will be highlighted.When the user did see an event, the event ID is deleted from the list, and the DB is updated.
do not use a comma-separated list for this, use a single column in a separate multi-row table
@r937:Could you give a bit more details please?(I'm new to servers side and databases)
users ( id, name, etc.)
events ( id, title, datescheduled, etc.)
user_events ( userid, eventid )
events ( id, title, datescheduled, etc.)
user_events ( userid, eventid )
bold indicates primary key, underline indicates foreign key
the user_events table will contain 1 row for each event for each user
in my opinion, it's easier to keep track of which events the user has seen, than to load them all up as unseen and later to delete the ones seen
Wouldn't the db become large?
The application is planned in a way that most users should see most events.Events are attached to Projects, when the project is done it's moved to completed and all the data of new events is deleted.
The NEW EVENTS data is only needed for the active projects (a small portion).I thought that it would be better to reduce the DB size by keeping only the UNSEEN EVENTS rather than all the events.
The event count will be very large, while the user count will remain relatively small.
I am just curious about optimizing the whole thing.
no!! (emphatically)
as for that other information, you should've presented that a lot earlier
i'm swinging around to think that unseen events might be better to store than seen ones, but not merely on the size consideration, but rather on the usage pattern
same table design, though
The app also uses the same model for permissions:"Events" and "Projects" can have several "Owners" (user IDs).Would suggest the same table design here?
Thanks!You are a database guru
