After winning his third MVP award, second Olympic gold medal and first NBA championship, LeBron James said he wanted to get even better.
Seems like he's done just that.
James is shooting a career-best 56 percent this season, including a torrid 79 percent in his last 111 minutes on the court with the Miami Heat, who lead the Eastern Conference standings and have won nine of their last 11 games.
He's averaging 26.9 points this season. According to STATS LLC, only five players in NBA history have averaged that many points while shooting at least 56 percent.
Maybe that's why Heat guard Dwyane Wade marvels when talking about James' play this season, saying "every year, it seems like he does the amazing."

In Britain, the Labour Party has taken the political hit for that country's weak economy. Worse, it is engulfed by scandal: revelations about Labour MPs' improper charges to their Parliamentary expense accounts have disgusted the electorate. Thus, current polling shows Labour's support at only 21 percent, the lowest yet recorded. Everyone expects that the Conservatives will be swept back into power at the next election.
Good news as far as it goes. But I've wondered whether there is any real conservative movement left in the U.K. The Tories' leader, David Cameron, is no conservative by American standards, and certainly no Margaret Thatcher. So I was heartened by this assessment of the new Tory candidates who likely will form the majority in the next Parliament:
Mr Cameron has told close colleagues that he believes he is on course to win 140 new Tory MPs after the next election, The Times has been told. While such a net gain would give Mr Cameron an overall majority of about 15, it could place him to the left of most of his parliamentary party, in which the majority will be new to the Commons. …
[T]hose most likely to be new Tory MPs are, in general, less concerned about climate change than terrorism, oppose green taxes and are hostile to gay adoptions. A majority oppose the party's official policy of raising green taxes to reduce the taxation burden on families, according to a survey of 148 Tory candidates.
The survey, carried out in seats on a list of the 100 most-winnable constituencies and those already held, also finds that only 15 per cent believe climate change is a more important issue than terrorism. The survey suggests that an overwhelming majority of candidates in winnable seats – 83 per cent – support a significant expansion of nuclear power. …
He will be less worried that 94 per cent of candidates believe that too much power has been transferred to the European Union. It is his own view and, as even Ken Clarke acknowledges, the "settled will" of the Conservative Party.
That is excellent news, especially the fact that most younger-generation Conservatives are willing to stand up to the eco-bullies who are even more powerful in Europe than in the U.S. Who knows? Perhaps a real conservative revival in Britain is still possible.

The theme of A.J. Burnett's start was the strikeout, particularly the called third strike with his curveball towards the end of his outing. His last three strikeouts were of the backwards-K variety.
All we could talk about before the series was how each team packed an explosive offensive punch. Ryan Howard and Alex Rodriguez both had monster Division and Championship Series performances, and with the homer-friendly parks each team calls home, we were expecting Home Run Derby.
Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabathia, Pedro Martinez, and Burnett say "thanks for playing, better luck next time". Each starter has at least reached the seventh inning, each has struck out at least six batters, and each has allowed no more than three runs.
Tonight, Burnett was in top form just as Cliff Lee was last night. He lasted seven innings and used his curve ball effectively, striking out nine Phillies, while allowing only six base runners on four hits and two walks. The Phils could only muster one run on a Matt Stairs RBI single to left field in the second inning.
Burnett threw 45 curve balls out of 107 pitches (42%). 35 of those curves were thrown to left-handed hitters. The Phillies against Burnett's curve:
- Made contact: 10 times (7 fouls, 2 ground outs, 1 ground-rule double)
- Swung and missed: 7
- Took for a strike: 8
- Took for a ball: 20 (6 in the dirt)
To give you an idea as to what the Phillies were facing, take a gander at these visuals from Brooks Baseball, the blue line in particular:
His fastball and curve ball are essentially at the same location for about 35 feet from the pitcher's mound, and then the curve ball breaks off the table as they say. That's why his curve has been worth about one and a half runs above average per 100 curve balls.
As the Yankees did last night, the Phillies must simply give Burnett a tip of the cap for a well-pitched game. There was not much they could have done with the curves Burnett was putting on the black, low and outside with pinpoint precision.
The Phillies did not go quietly, however. Facing Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning with one out, Jimmy Rollins had a rare — for this season anyway — professional at-bat in which he saw eleven pitches and eventually worked a walk. Shane Victorino followed up with a single through the first and second basemen to put runners on first and second with one out.
Using the run expectancy matrix on Baseball Prospectus, we would expect about one run there. However, the guy on the mound is the best relief pitcher in baseball history, so the actual run expectancy is somewhere around .001, right? Chase Utley proved it by weakly grounding into a double play to end the rally and the inning.
Raul Ibanez doubled with two outs in the ninth to bring up Matt Stairs as the tying run, but Rivera in typical fashion struck him out for the 27th out.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi, maligned even by Yankees fans for some of his in-game decisions, pushed all the right buttons in the bottom of the seventh. Jerry Hairston led off by dunking a single into right field. Girardi sent in Brett Gardner to pinch-run. He then instructed Melky Cabrera to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but Cabrera was unable to do so. Thinking he was being handed a free out, Pedro Martinez threw a ball up in the zone, but instead Girardi took the bunt off and ordered a hit-and-run. Cabrera sent the pitch back into right field for another single, and Gardner scampered to third base without a problem.
Jorge Posada was announced as a pinch-hitter, so Charlie Manuel yanked Martinez and brought in Chan Ho Park. Making Girardi three-for-three, Posada lined a single up the middle to drive in an insurance run for the Yankees. The only blunder in the inning came when Derek Jeter decided to bunt with two strikes of his own volition.
If we're handing out MVP awards for Game Two, Burnett wins it easily, but Girardi would get one as well for going three-for-three with his strategy in the seventh.
The Phillies won't be heading back to Philadelphia on a sour note. They split the two in New York, which is the most that they could have reasonably expected. Now they'll look to take two of three at home, or even better, finish it off at home as they did last year against the Tampa Bay Rays.

As a one time fan of 2000AD I want to get into comic books. I last read them about 25 years ago !.
I am currently half way through the Tales Of Telguuth anthology and really loving it:
I am thinking of reading Y: The Last Man or I might get into Judge Dredd again. Some of the books on the 2000AD site are great.
Anyone read this ?
I hear that some of the Batman books are great.
Can anyone recommend any fantasy comic books - like the Tales Of Telguuth ?
Basically throw any advise here as I am open to new ideas. I fancy a bit of childhood comic fun back in my life and in between reading non fiction and fiction books. Ideally I want to hand over a nice collection of books to my son when he grows older.
Or should I bite the bullet and buy a digital subscription of 2000AD. Its £80 a year. I am looking to spend around £150 a year on comic books.

Office for Domestic Preparedness, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
April 2003
There are approximately 4,000 Title IV institutions of post-secondary education in the United States serving 15 million students, and several million faculty, staff and visitors. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are roughly 30,000 campus police and security officers protecting these institutions and individuals.
Within available resources, and consistent with each college or university's policies, procedures and governing philosophy, consideration may be given to the affirmative steps listed below to prevent, deter or effectively respond to a weapons of mass destruction terrorist attack. These steps may be calibrated to local, state or national alert levels.
Establish a working relationship with the Supervisory Agent in Charge of your nearest FBI field office, the regional Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), as well as state and local officials to help ensure your timely receipt of threat information.
Consider assigning officers as liaisons with international student groups on your campus. In addition to potentially eliciting lifesaving information, the officer(s) may serve to build trust and allay fears among international students.
Establish a management team responsible for directing the implementation of your campus emergency operations plan.
Immediately review your emergency operations plan, terrorism incident annex and mutual aid agreements with your management team, command staff and jurisdictional partners. Ascertain the need for immediate staff training.
The review of your emergency operations plan with jurisdictional partners should include a discussion of potential assets the campus can provide on its own behalf and that of the community in the event of an incident occurring outside the campus. Consider assigning a campus public safety liaison to the local Emergency Operations Center (EOC).
Review leave policies and standard operating procedures for reassignment of plainclothes officers to uniform to enhance visibility and coverage of vulnerable areas.
Update your most recent risk assessment inventory.
Increase physical checks of critical facilities during periods of increased alert.
Establish a single point of access for each critical facility and institute 100% identification checks.
Limit public access to critical facilities and consider escort procedures for authorized persons.
Increase administrative inspections of persons and their possessions entering critical facilities.
Increase administrative inspections of vehicles and their contents.
Assess adequacy of video monitoring.
Assess adequacy of physical barriers outside sensitive buildings and proximity of parking.
Ensure adequacy of your emergency alert and communication system for students, faculty, staff and visitors.
Review your parent communication and reunification plan, and then educate all stakeholders.
Special Notes
The suggestions set forth above are offered only to guide and inform your public safety planning efforts. They are not intended to be exhaustive, or to supercede federal, state, local or campus statutes, regulations or policies.
More detailed guidelines have been provided to your campus public safety executive.

Omnibus is a multi-client, shared cost quantitative survey instrument designed to collect data from the general population or a targeted audience to deliver valuable insights quickly and affordably.
GfK's US Omnibus service offers the high quality sampling & practical benefits of online research by utilizing KnowledgePanel®, the only online probability panel in the marketplace, that is truly projectable to the gen pop, unlike other "opt-in" panels, that are only representative of the online (internet access) population, which makes it a great alternative to RDD telephone samples.
Also available…Hispanic Omnibus and TEEN Augment can be added at an additional cost.
To recruit KnowledgePanel® members, we use ABS (address-based sampling) as the primary methodology — a probability-based approach that includes cell phone-only households. For non-internet households, we provide internet access and a laptop for the completion of online surveys: therefore, the sample is not limited to only those who already have internet access.
The GfK OMNI surveys a national sample of 1000 adults aged 18+ weekly, with a deadline for questions Thursdays at noon ET, with data collection ongoing Friday-Sunday and results available COB Mondays.
Ask your critical questions today – have Fast Answers for decisions tomorrow. GfK now offers "Fast Answers Overnight" with a 24 hour turnaround from start to finish.
A low-priced option for clients with 3-20 questions, the G&A Omni surveys a national sample of 1,000 adults aged 18+, with a full field period (7-10 days), for much less than a custom study. It's ideal for testing survey questions or conducting brief surveys.
Surveys a national sample of 1000 adults aged 18+ weekly, with a deadline for questions Thursdays at noon ET, data collection ongoing Friday-Sunday and results available COB Mondays.
Surveys a national sample of 1000 Hispanic adults aged 18+ monthly, utilizing KnowledgePanel Latino, with a deadline for questions the first Wednesday of the month, data collection from the second Wednesday to the following Sunday and results available the third Wednesday of the month.
Globo bus is GfK's global omnibus service. We have a vast Global network for Omnibus capabilities within the GfK family. We offer a one point of contact service, whereby our office coordinates and facilitates the project from start to finish. All fieldwork is conducted at the local agency level and then is tabulated centrally by our US offices for quality control purposes to ensure consistency. Final deliverable is computer tabulations by a standard demographic banner.
Since the data collection is controlled locally, this ensures a representative and full geographic national sample. Most sample sizes are 1000 with starting age varying by country. Methodology varies by country as well but generally phone/CATI is recommended for the most representative sample.

Why is Panorama RAM based instead of disk based?The fundamental, overriding difference between Panorama and all other database programs is that Panorama is RAM instead of disk based. When you open a Panorama database the entire database, including all of the data, is loaded from the disk into the computer's RAM. From then on Panorama doesn't use the disk at all (until you use the Save command). All searching, sorting, editing, and everything else occurs directly in your computer's high speed RAM.
Other database programs are disk based. Every time you edit a field, sort, search, or perform any other operation it must access the disk. Unlike RAM, the disk is a mechanical device with parts that actually move each time you access the disk. This makes disk access thousands of times slower than RAM access.
Back to top.
How much data can fit in RAM?Panorama uses your computer's RAM very efficiently. Because Panorama doesn't use indexes (see below) Panorama databases are very small compared to FileMaker (typically six to ten times smaller). For example, one of the demo databases included with Panorama is a typical contacts database with 10,000 records and about two dozen fields — this database is only 2.2 megabytes! Some Panorama users have created databases with over one million records. Typically a Panorama database is about the same size as an ASCII text file containing the same data.
Back to top.
What if my database doesn't fit in RAM?Panorama requires that the entire database fit in RAM. With today's large RAM capacities and low prices this is rarely an issue.
Back to top.
Why doesn't Panorama use indexes?You might be surprised to know that when you ask a disk based database to search or sort it does not actually search or sort the data itself. Instead it searches or sorts a complex structure it has built called an "index." An index is a special directory that contains hints for finding items quickly. A database index performs much the same function as an index at the end of a textbook. Instead of searching the entire book page-by-page you find the entry in the index and then jump directly to the correct page. Disk based database programs use a similar index system to allow them to search or sort a large database in a second or two instead of in minutes or hours.
Unlike other database software, Panorama doesn't use indexes. Because RAM is so fast, Panorama can actually perform searches or sorts using the brute force approach, the equivalent of searching a book by reading all of the pages (but very, very quickly). Essentially Panorama is the ultimate speed reader. Although indexes can help a database search and sort faster, they also come with some very significant drawbacks.
- Indexes are very large. Unlike a textbook index which is only a few pages, databases indexes are often much larger than the actual data itself. Since Panorama doesn't use indexes, the database size is much smaller.
- Indexes have a very complicated structure that must be updated any time the database is modified. As your database gets larger this structure gets more complex, so updating the structure takes longer and longer each time you edit the database. In addition this complex structure is prone to corruption (which explains why FileMaker, for example, needs a command to rebuild corrupted databases). It's actually not the database itself which is corrupted, but the index. Since Panorama doesn't use indexes, editing the database doesn't get slower as you add more records, and the index can't get corrupted because there wasn't any index in the first place.
- Even though the indexes are large they actually don't contain all of the information in the database (most of the index space is taken up with hints to make searching faster). Since a disk based database is searching the index, not the database, this means that many useful search queries are impossible. Since Panorama doesn't use indexes it can perform any search you can think of, including phonetic searches (sounds like "alan"), partial matches, comparisons between fields (Price is more than twice the P/E ratio), searching for fields that contain only letters, only numbers, or some other combination, searching all fields at once, even live keystroke-by-keystroke searches (like iTunes and Spotlight).
Back to top.
Is Panorama easy to learn and use?Yes, but don't take our word for it. MacWorld says "FileMaker Pro may be lauded for its easy database-form creation, but that program's results have nothing on Panorama's user-friendly databases." TidBITS.com says "Panorama is the best general database program I've ever used. ... Have I communicated just what I find so wonderful about this program? It's the fact that my data feels safe and is easy to check on. It's the ingenious anticipation of all my needs. It's how the workings of my databases are easy to track down. It's the generosity of the supplied examples. It's the fact that easy things are easy and hard things are not that hard." Danny Grizzle of Media Mogul Productions says "It is extremely approachable, useful to newbies in minutes, but also tremendously capable with depth few are ever likely to outgrow." Read more testimonials here.
Back to top.
Is Panorama relational?Yes. Panorama supports one-to-one and one-to-many relationships, and also supports "equal or lesser" relationships for looking up data in rate tables (for example tax or shipping rates).
Back to top.
What are the operating system requirements for running Panorama?The current version for both OS X and Windows is Panorama 6.0.
Panorama 6.0 Mac OS X 10.4 (Intel/PPC), 10.5 (Intel/PPC), 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
Panorama 5.5 Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 (requires Rosetta to for OS X 10.6)
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
Panorama V Mac OS 9, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 (runs "native" in OS X *) Panorama 4.0 Mac OS 7.6 or higher (including OS X in "Classic" mode up to OS X 10.4)
Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista or higher
Panorama 3.0 Mac OS 6.0 to 8.6 (including 68K based computers)
Back to top.
How does Panorama compare with FileMaker?See the Panorama vs. FileMaker comparison page.
Back to top.
Does Panorama keep each database stored in a separate file?Yes, each database is self-contained in its own file. You can also set up a "file set" icon that will automatically open a group of databases, however the databases themselves are still in separate files.
Back to top.
Can the database structure and data be stored separately?No, each database is contained in a single file that contains data, data attributes, calculations, forms and any programs related to the data.
Back to top.
Can multiple users access a database across a network?The standard version of Panorama only allows single user access. If you want multiple users to be able to access a database simultaneously you'll need to use the Panorama Enterprise Server.
Back to top.
What are the capabilities and limitations of the Panorama demo?The Panorama trial version is fully functional for a limited trial period (normally 15 days unless you have a special coupon). During this trial period the software is fully functional — you can create new databases of any size, analyze, manipulate data, print, create layouts and reports, write programs — anything that can be done with the full version of Panorama. This allows you to fully evaluate Panorama before making your purchase.
When the trial period is over, Panorama continues to work, but acts like a shareware program. Any time you save or print a database with more than 250 records the Panorama demo will pause to display a dialog suggesting that you consider purchasing the product before allowing you to save or print. Other than this the product is fully functional for single user databases. This "shareware" mode continues indefinitely with no time limit. Purchasing a serial number takes Panorama out of this "shareware" mode and back to fully functional status.
Earlier versions of Panorama (5.0 and 4.0) do not offer a fully functional trial period. Instead, the software starts out in the "shareware" mode (displaying a dialog suggesting that you consider purchasing the product before allowing you to save or print databases with more than 250 records), and remains in this mode until you purchase a serial number.
Back to top.
Will there be an iPhone/iPad version of Panorama?We think it would be great to have Panorama on iOS devices (we use iPhones & iPads ourselves), but the answer to this question isn't entirely up to us. Apple tightly controls what applications are available for iOS devices, and the iOS SDK explicitly disallows any application that has a programming language, like Panorama. All the indications are that if we developed Panorama for iOS, it would be rejected by Apple. In fact, just getting accepted isn't always the end of the story — in some cases apps have been removed after being on sale for months (sorry, you're out of business as of today). Here are just a few of the web pages we've seen on this subject.
Briefs App in Limbo
Delusions of Grandeur: Briefs App Almost on the App Store
The Inhospitable Land of the App Store
The Emperor's New Clothes
There's No App for That
Interview: Jared Brown, iPhone developer about having his app rejected
iPhone App Store roulette: A tale of rejection
Creating iOS versions of Panorama would require huge investments in new UI design and coding. With the tremendous uncertainty over whether even a single customer would ever be allowed to purchase the software, this is an investment risk that is simply not tenable for a small developer like ProVUE. We're hoping that the situation may change, and we're certainly paying close attention to developments in this area. For now, however, we are not doing any development for iOS devices, but you can use an iPhone or iPad as a web client for the Panorama Enterprise Server.
Back to top.
What is the Enhanced Image Pack?The Enhanced Image Pack extends the ability of Panorama to display images. Without this pack Panorama can only display Apple PICT format (and BMP format on Panorama for Windows). The Enhanced Image Pack adds the ability to display JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PhotoShop and other formats. For more information see Panorama Enhanced Image Pack. To order the Enhanced Image Pack use the on-line order form.
Note: To use the Enhanced Image Pack on Windows your machine must have Apple's QuickTime package installed.
Back to top.
What is the Zip/Spell pack?The Zip/Spell Dictionary Pack contains two dictionary files - US Zip Codes and US English. With these dictionaries you can spell check forms and data, and look up the city, state, and county for any US Zip Code. For more information see Zip/Spell Dictionary Pack. To purchase this optional package please use the on-line order form.

Panorama Sheets
What is the difference between Panorama and Panorama Sheets?Panorama Sheets is a member of the Panorama family of RAM based database products. Panorama Sheets includes all of features of the Panorama Data Sheet view (except for the Action menu), including:
• Fast searching, sorting, data manipulation and data analysis
• Flexible database structure (insert/delete/merge/split/hide/show/rearrange fields)
• Clairvoyance, Smart Dates, Auto-Capitalization and other data entry assistants
• Powerful import/export options
• Relational
• Crash Proof and Goof Proof (Total Recall and Time Lapse)
Panorama Sheets does not include any support for the design sheet, forms, crosstabs or procedures (programming). Other minor differences include: 1) Panorama Sheets is limited to 20 Mb of memory (Panorama supports 1.2 Gb), 2) no view menu, 3) no tool palette (left side of window), 4) streamlined menus, 5) standard Help menu, 6) no wizards, 7) no file sets.
Back to top.
Are databases compatible between Panorama and Panorama Sheets?Yes. All members of the Panorama family use the same file data format, so it's easy to start with Panorama Sheets and then later upgrade to a full copy of Panorama, or to share databases between colleagues that have both programs. Note: If a database saved with a full copy of Panorama includes forms, procedures or crosstabs, these components will not be accessible within Panorama Sheets. Panorama Sheets will not open databases that were not saved with a visible database window.
Back to top.
Questions about Forms, Graphics & Reports
Can I lay out forms and reports the way I want?Yes. Panorama's graphic editor uses standard object drawing techniques and includes tools for about two dozen types of objects, including shapes, text, images, movies, buttons, lists, pop-up menus, matrixes, even a complete word processor. There are also extensive tools to help you design your form and get everything lined up perfectly.
Back to top.
Can Panorama print labels?Yes. You can set up the label format yourself or choose from about two dozen ready-to-use Avery label templates. Panorama can automatically print labels in 1-up, 2-up, 3-up, 4-up or more columns, and can print labels across each row or down each column.
Back to top.
Can I use multiple fonts/sizes/styles within a cell?Panorama normally allows only a single font/size/style within a database cell. However, if you use Panorama's built-in word processor you can include not only multiple fonts, sizes and styles, but also tab stops, colors, indentation, left/right center justification and adjustable leading (vertical spacing). You can include the word processor in any database you create or you can use our ready-to-use Mini Correspondence wizard, with built-in VCard support.
Back to top.
Can I include pictures and movies in a database?Pictures and movies are not included in the database itself, but can be linked by reference (location and name) and displayed on any form. If you want to use JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG or PSD format you'll need the optional Enhanced Image Pack. On a PC system you'll also need to install Apple's QuickTime.
Back to top.
Questions about working with other software (import/export/web/email)
Can Panorama import data from my existing databases and spreadsheets (FileMaker, Excel, etc.)?Panorama can easily import tab and comma delimited (CSV) text files. Consult the documentation for your database or spreadsheet to learn how to export your data in these universal formats. Panorama 6.0 can also directly import from Excel or Numbers spreadsheets. On the Mac you can import simply by dragging a spreadsheet selection to the data sheet or the Import Wizard, on Windows systems this must be done thru the clipboard.
Back to top.
Can Panorama export data to other database or spreadsheet software?Panorama can easily export tab and comma delimited (CSV) text files. Consult the documentation for your database or spreadsheet to learn how to import data in these universal formats. Panorama 6.0 can also export directly to Excel or Numbers. To do this open the Export wizard and set up the export options. Then drag from the wizard to the spreadsheet (Mac) or transfer the data via the clipboard (Mac or Windows).
Back to top.
Can Panorama import/export VCards with other applications (Address Book, Entourage, MYOB, etc.)?VCards are an industry standard for "electronic business cards" (see "VCards take guesswork out of sharing contact info"). If your Panorama database contains contact information (name, address, phone, etc.) it can be set up to work with VCards. If you create your database with Panorama's New Database Wizard most of this setup is done for you, otherwise you'll need to configure the VCard connection with the Generic Fields wizard. You can use the VCard Wizard to exchange either single or multiple VCards at time, or you can add a few lines of code to your database to build this capability directly into your applications.
Back to top.
Can Panorama dial the phone?Yes. Panorama 5.5 or later includes five "plug-in" modules (called channels) for phone dialing.
- Tone: This channel generates touch tones using the computer's speaker. Hold the phone up to the speaker to dial (it really works!).
- Dialectic: This is a highly rated dialing program that can dial using over a dozen methods, including via a modem, bluetooth cellphone, or via a number of VOIP phone systems.
- Jon's Phone Tool: This program is a predecessor of Dialectic (see above) and is no longer available, but you can continue to use it if you purchased it before.
- ABDialer: This channel uses a shareware program that can dial using a modem or via a bluetooth cellphone.
- Vonage:
channel directly accesses the internet to
dial your Vonage Internet
- On the PC currently only the Tone and Vonage channels are available.
- The "plug-in" channel system is modular, so we can and probably will add additional modules in the future.
Can Panorama send e-mails?Yes. Panorama 5.5 and later includes several "plug-in" modules (called channels) for sending e-mail from Panorama. (Most of these modules requires a 3rd party e-mail software that you may have already or can acquire for free or at low cost — you select the module you want to use depending on which e-mail program you want to use.) Once a module is configured for your e-mail server you can send e-mail automatically from any database, including "bulk e-mail" (please use responsibly and do not spam). You can build e-mail functionality into any database and Panorama includes a built-in wizard for managing bulk e-mail. We've created a YouTube video that teaches the basics of sending e-mail with Panorama.
Back to top.
Can web content be integrated with my database?Yes. Panorama V or later can fetch and download data from any web server, including tables, images, maps, directories, rates, catalogs, news stories — anything you can see with a web browser can be automatically loaded and used with Panorama. You can use this information directly or in combination with your existing data.
Back to top.
Can Panorama export to HTML?Yes. The Text Export wizard makes it easy to export the contents of any database as an HTML table. This wizard gives you complete control over the table appearance, including the font, size, column widths, and row shading. Panorama's programming language can be used for further customization, even allowing you to include JavaScript in the generated HTML.
Back to top.
Can Panorama be used to generate dynamic web content?Yes, this is one of the features of the Panorama Enterprise Server.
Back to top.
Is Panorama ODBC or JDBC compliant?No. We are investigating the possibility of including this feature in a future release.
Back to top.
Can I use Panorama with my iPhone?Panorama does not currently support the iPhone. We are investigating the possibility of iPhone support in the future. You can use the iPhone as a web client with the Panorama Enterprise Server.
Back to top.
Can I use Panorama with my Palm/PocketPC?Panorama does not directly support export or synchronizing with Palm/PocketPC handhelds, but many Panorama users have successfully transferred data to their handheld devices by exporting the data as tab or comma delimited text.
Back to top.
Questions about programmability
Is Panorama programmable?Yes, Panorama has a complete program development environment. Like Basic, C or Java your programs are text based and may be editing using Panorama's built-in text editor or your favorite text editing program. If you have programming experience you'll find all of the standard constructs you are familiar with, including:
- Structured control flow (if/else/endif, case, loops)
- Subroutines (with parameter passing and local variables)
- Local, global and permanent variables
- Text, numeric, date and array data
- Built-in debugger (with breakpoints and single stepping)
- Extensible language (build your own statement and function extensions to the language)
- Support for scripts written in Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP, AppleScript and shell scripts
- Cross reference tool for managing large projects
- GUI tools for assisting in the design of windows, dialogs and menus
Panorama programs can be triggered by buttons, menus, or automatically triggered by various user actions (opening and closing files, etc.) Your programs can completely manage control of the user experience, including full customization of windows, dialogs and menus.
Back to top.
Do I have to learn programming to use Panorama?Absolutely not. In fact many customers have been using Panorama on a daily basis for years without ever writing a single line of code. You can set up databases, enter data, sort, select, summarize, calculate, create graphic layouts and reports, even charts without learning any programming.
On the other hand it's easy to write simple programs in Panorama, and even a simple program can save time by automating tasks you perform regularly. For beginning users Panorama even includes a "program recorder" feature. This feature watches and records your actions for later playback. You can use your recordings as is, or customize them after they have been recorded with Panorama's built-in program editor. The recorder is a great way to "ease into" acquiring basic programming skills.
Back to top.
How does Panorama's programming language compare with other languages like C, Basic, etc.?If you have used Basic, C, Pascal or JavaScript you should quickly be comfortable with Panorama's built in programming language. Of these languages Panorama is probably closest to Basic, but it incorporates ideas from a number of sources. Panorama's programming language is tightly integrated with the database. You'll find dozens of statements for manipulating database information, as well as user interface elements like windows, menus and dialogs.
One thing you'll immediately notice about Panorama's programming language is that it is very free format. Unlike C and Pascal it does not require a separator semicolon (or any other character) between statements. Unlike most Basic implementations it allows multiple statements per line, and it also allows a statement to be split across multiple lines (as long as you don't split a token in the middle). For example you can put three statements on one line, like this:
statement1 statement2 statement3
Like Basic, Panorama's programming language does not use program blocks, but has special statements (else, endif, endcase) to indicate the end of a block.
if this=that
Like most programming languages (but unlike some versions of Basic) Panorama requires that you declare variables before you use them (with the local, global or fileglobal statements). However, Panorama has very loose variable typing. Not only do you not have to define the type of a variable when you declare it, you can change the type of data held in a variable at any time. This program fragment is perfectly legal:
local myVariable /* declare the variable */myVariable=3 /* assign a number */myVariable="hello world" /* assign text */myVariable=93.45 /* back to a number */
When using variables Panorama takes care of all memory allocation, and there are no pointers or pointer arithmetic. This example also shows that Panorama supports C++ style comments (you can also use // to comment to the end of the line). Unlike C, /* */ comments may be nested, making this a good way to temporarily "comment out" sections of code.
Panorama uses the + operator for both addition and text concatenation. The statement below will display 7:
message 3+4
while this statement will display 34:
message "3"+"4"
Panorama generally does not implicitly convert data types, so this statement will display an error message:
message 3+"4"
You can use the str( or pattern( function to explicitly convert numbers to text, and the val( function to convert text to numbers.
Like Basic, Panorama uses the = symbol for both assignment and equality comparison. The meaning depends on the context. In this example a value (3) is being assigned into a field or variable named x:
In this example the field or variable named x is being tested to see if it contains the value 3:
if x=3
Unlike C you cannot embed special characters in a string constant using backslash notation (for example "first line\nsecond line"). You must build a line like this by appending together the individual components
("first line"+chr(13)+"second line")
You can also use the ¶ and ¬ symbols to represent carriage return and tab characters, for example
"first line"+¶+"second line"
Unlike C, subroutines are not handled as functions, but must be explicitly called with the call statement (similar to Basic's gosub statement). You can also pass parameters to a subroutine, like this:
call NewOrder,"Mark","Wilson"
Panorama's programming language, which has roots back to 1986, is not object oriented. However, it is extensible, meaning that you can add your own statements and functions which are syntactically indistinguishable from Panorama's built in statements and functions.
For more information on Panorama's programming capabilities see Chapter 24, 25 and 26 of the Panorama Handbook and the Programming Reference wizard.
Back to top.
What text parsing tools does Panorama have?Panorama has dozens of functions to assist with any text parsing job, including special functions for parsing HTML and XML tags. Panorama does not include any GREP functions, but almost any task that you might perform with GREP can be performed with combinations of Panorama functions. For more information see Chapter 24 of the Panorama Handbook and the Programming Reference wizard. (You can also perform GREP operations by embedding code in Perl, Ruby or Python into your Panorama programs.)
Back to top.
Is Panorama AppleScript compatible?Yes. AppleScript extends the power of Panorama's programming language to other programs on your computer. Using AppleScript you can control the Finder, web browsers, e-mail clients, FTP software, or any other application that supports AppleScript. There are two ways to use AppleScript from within Panorama — you can launch a script that you have pre-defined using Apple's Script Editor, or you can include AppleScript code directly within your Panorama procedures. (You can even build and execute an AppleScript on-the-fly). Panorama is also scriptable itself, so other applications can control Panorama.
Back to top.
Can Panorama access the OS X UNIX shell?Yes. The ExecuteUnix statement, included in Panorama's programming language, allows Panorama programs to use any UNIX command. The output of the command (stdout) is automatically placed in a Panorama variable.
Back to top.
Can Panorama access the Windows Command Line?Yes. The ExecuteUnix statement, included in Panorama's programming language, allows Panorama programs running on the PC to run any command line. The output of the command (stdout) is automatically placed in a Panorama variable.
Back to top.
Can I program Panorama using Perl? Ruby? Python? PHP?Yes, Panorama 5.5 and later supports embedding programs written in any of these languages inside a Panorama procedure. If you are using a Mac these languages are already installed on your computer. If you are using a PC you'll need to install them yourself.
Back to top.
How can I meet other Panorama programmers?The Panorama QNA (questions and answers) list is an e-mail based community discussion forum. It's a great place to share ideas and find solutions to problems. Much of the discussion on this list revolves around programming tips and techniques, and members of our list are very generous with newcomers. Come and join the discussion!

Knog's The Dog saddle is made from the same super tactile 1200denier waterproof cotton duck as the Pig Dog Messenger Bag I reviewed this time last year, with efficient packing its diminutive dimensions will just about gobble a small multi-tool, patch kit; tyre levers and two heavily restrained spare tubes. Very nicely executed and all you'd need for a pared to the essentials pack, but 17 quid still feels steep.
Sleek design and Knog are synonymous and that's no different here, the pack attaches via the saddle rails and seatpost courtesy of a nifty little cam buckle and elastic cord/hook. Ten out of 10 aesthetically, although post diameters greater than 26.4 give the cord/hook obvious indigestion, although my initial misgivings about water entering the pouch through the cutaway buckle guides proved unfounded in an everyday context since it's sheltered beneath the saddle.
Credit where its due after a three minute garden hose test, drawing back the stocky aluminium tag revealed a bone dry inner compartment so, if you must hustle along those dung-strewn lanes sans mudguards with your smart phone stowed in the Dog, chances are it'll remain perfectly unharmed. Speaking of which, the Saddle Dog fabric's elasticity serves not only to make best use of available space but counteracts infuriating chatter endemic to the resin bottomed type of saddle pack you get when riding over irregularly surfaced roads.
A single strip of Scotchlite piping runs beneath the lower zip and initially struck me as little more than an afterthought but actually it proved surprisingly effective combined with more substantial bike/rider mounted illumination. In any case, the saddle or training jackets would simply obscure blinkeys on pouches this bijous.
Lovely materials and delightful design but pricey for a pouch.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"I once had two adorable ponies, Mini and Maxi. I would plait their hair, load their saddles up with sugar cubes (for afternoon treats!) and shave checkerboards into their buttock pelt. And in a strange way our two new Saddle Dog bags look just like them. Giddy-up my fine beauties".
Basically a beautifully designed mini seat pack for sleek, pared to the essentials bikes.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Handmade water resistant construction using heavy weight waxed cotton canvas. Water-resistant zipper.Reflective piping for night visibility.
Internal cam buckle main attachment strap attaches around your saddle rails. Secondary elastic and hook configuration for added stability attach to saddle rail postion at the seatpost end.
CAPACITY 1 Litre
SIZE 140 x 85 x 75 mm (wxhxd)
CAPACITY 1.2 Litre
SIZE 200 x 90 x 75
Nicely made and lovely to use but not sure I'd part with 17 quid. You might think differently though
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Knog's saddle dog is sleek, surprisingly water resistant and overcomes the irritating chatter of patch kits, multi-tools and other incidentals when negotiating inclement roads but price wise it's a little on the steep side for me.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Trademark Knog design, nice tactile materials and a padded compatment adds a serene quality to proceedings.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Just the asking price.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Not at full price
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Possibly
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Although I was sorely tempted to dock it a point on value, it has to be said that similarly 'designery' bags are also similarly priced - such as Lezyne's Micro Caddy. I'm guesing that if you are taken with the design or are a Knog fan you won't baulk at paying the extra fiver over say the small verion of Fizkik P:Ak ICS saddle bag

First Quantum Minerals Provides an Update on Development Activities at Kansanshi and the Trident Project
By: Marketwired .
Dec. 12, 2012 02:50 AM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/12/12 -- First Quantum Minerals Ltd. ("First Quantum" or the "Company") (TSX:FM)(LSE:FQM) is pleased to provide an update on the expansion of the sulphide treatment facilities at the Kansanshi mine and development of the Trident project including advances at the Enterprise nickel project and an increase to the throughput capacity at the Sentinel copper project. Board approval for the sulphide expansion project and the development of Enterprise was granted on the strength of the recently-announced uplift in Mineral Resources and Reserves estimates at Kansanshi and Enterprise.
-- The Sulphide No 3 ("S3") treatment plant at Kansanshi is being designed with the capability to treat up to 25 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") of ore. -- This capacity is higher than the 14 - 16 Mtpa previously contemplated, is supported by the recently-announced increase in Mineral Resources and Reserves at Kansanshi, and is expected to deliver a mine life in excess of 16 years. -- Engineering design synergies with the Sentinel processing plant, currently in construction, are expected to provide significant schedule benefits enabling a efficient project ramp up and execution phase that will allow S3 to come on-line in 2015. -- The capital estimate for the construction of the S3 expansion is USD$565 million.
The Trident project
-- The Enterprise project is being designed with the capacity to treat ore at a rate of 4.0 Mtpa at a processing facility that will be constructed as an integral part of the Sentinel copper mine, located 12 kilometres southeast of the mine. -- This will allow significant operational synergies and the sharing of infrastructure. -- Enterprise is being designed to produce an average of 38,000 tonnes of nickel in concentrate per annum with scope to increase to 60,000 tonnes when nickel market conditions allow. -- Board approval was also received for an increase in throughput capacity at Sentinel to 55 Mtpa from the 40 Mtpa previously envisioned. -- Altogether, these significant enhancements require a capital investment of USD$275 million which lifts the total approved capital estimate for the Trident project to USD$2.0 billion.
The increase in the mine's Mineral Resources and Reserves estimate provided the foundation for the operational and long term development strategies to be confirmed. The increase in sulphide treatment through the new S3 plant will allow up to 400,000 tonnes of copper to be produced annually. At this level of production and with the current defined Mineral Resources and Reserves, Kansanshi's mine life has been significantly increased to 16 years. On-going in-fill drilling could enable the identified Inferred Resources to be upgraded to the Indicated category, thereby further extending mine life.
The treatment plant will be constructed as a stand-alone facility and will draw on the detailed design work that has already been undertaken for the Sentinel sulphide concentrator. The S3 plant will be fed from two semi-mobile crushers that will be located within the existing pit limits of the Main and North West pits.
Concentrate produced from S3 will be pumped to the new smelter facility currently being constructed at Kansanshi for direct treatment.
Trident project
The development of Enterprise brings a third nickel mine to First Quantum, and given the operational and infrastructure synergies with Sentinel is expected to be a low cost producing mine. The 4.0 Mtpa processing plant that will be built at the Sentinel facilities will consist of straight forward crushing, milling and flotation. The plant will be designed with the flexibility so that if nickel ore from the Enterprise is not being processed, it can be used to augment the Sentinel copper throughput capacity by approximately 4 Mtpa.
The increase in the throughput capacity at Sentinel to 55 Mtpa will be achieved by the addition of an expandable secondary crushing circuit as well as the upgrading of specific equipment within the processing plant. These enhancements will help ensure that targeted copper production objectives of 270,000 - 300,000 tonnes per annum of copper can be achieved. The current project timeline for completion in 2014 is unchanged.
On Behalf of the Board of Directors of First Quantum Minerals Ltd.

The sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and vulnerability of natural and human
systems to climate change, and the potential consequences of climate change,
are assessed in the report of Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC), Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.
This report builds upon the past assessment reports of the IPCC, reexamining
key conclusions of the earlier assessments and incorporating results from more
recent research. 2
, 3
Observed changes in climate, their causes, and potential future changes are
assessed in the report of Working Group I of the IPCC,
Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis. The Working Group
I report concludes, inter alia, that the globally averaged surface temperatures
have increased by 0.6 ± 0.2°C over the 20th century; and that, for
the range of scenarios developed in the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenarios
(SRES), the globally averaged surface air temperature is projected by models
to warm 1.4 to 5.8°C by 2100 relative to 1990, and globally averaged sea
level is projected by models to rise 0.09 to 0.88 m by 2100. These projections
indicate that the warming would vary by region, and be accompanied by increases
and decreases in precipitation. In addition, there would be changes in the variability
of climate, and changes in the frequency and intensity of some extreme climate
phenomena. These general features of climate change act on natural and human
systems and they set the context for the Working Group II assessment. The available
literature has not yet investigated climate change impacts, adaptation, and
vulnerability associated with the upper end of the projected range of warming.
This Summary for Policymakers, which was approved by
IPCC member governments in Geneva in February 2001, describes the current state
of understanding of the impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability to climate change
and their uncertainties. Further details can be found in the underlying report.
Section 2 of the Summary presents a number of general
findings that emerge from integration of information across the full report.
Each of these findings addresses a different dimension of climate change impacts,
adaptation, and vulnerability, and no one dimension is paramount. Section
3 presents findings regarding individual natural and human systems, and
Section 4 highlights some of the issues of concern for
different regions of the world. Section 5 identifies priority
research areas to further advance understanding of the potential consequences
of and adaptation to climate change.

Consensus Report
Evaluating Testing, Costs, and Benefits of Advanced Spectroscopic Portals for Screening Cargo at Ports of Entry: Interim Report (2009)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wants to deploy new radiation detectors to improve screening of containerized cargo for nuclear and radiological material at U.S. ports and border crossings. Congress directed the department to ask the National Research Council to advise DHS on testing, analysis, costs, and benefits of the new detector systems, called advanced spectroscopic portals. This interim report assesses past testing and advises how DHS should modify its approach to this procurement decision. The report notes flaws in tests prior to 2008, finds that the 2008 tests were an improvement, but concludes that shortcomings remain. The report recommends an iterative approach of computer modeling and physical tests to make testing more rigorous. The report also recommends a phased deployment of the detector systems as extended operational testing. Finally, DHS needs a thorough cost-benefit analysis that includes an assessment of meaningful alternatives to reveal the potential security advantages of deploying the new detector systems.

EmptyMan wrote:Where did you hear this from? I doubt it's true. Koine was the Greek spoken by the people, Attic was the greek of educated people. Chinese would probably be more exact than Attic or Koine, at least in it's written from.
Geoff wrote:The answer to that question would depend on the type of material one desired to present with the given language. Some languages are horrible for considering certain topics. For example, Greek has a large vocabulary of nautical terms which are highly nuanced and descriptive. Surely other languages have subjects which they are better suited to convey than Greek. There is no doubt that precision in the Greek language is possible and that perhaps more than most other languages. I don't know if I would say most exact, but among the most exact definitely.
3 things make Greek exact, first the elegance of the grammar. Greek is highly inflected which helps avoid vagueness. Subject\verb connection is easily identifyable in even the most complex sentences. Antecedents are less difficult to trace. Modifiers will agree with the words they modify, and such like.
Second, as mentioned above, the massive, and particular vocabulary is helpful for expressing thoughts clearly without confusion.
Finally, a highly defined verb system presents another "dimension" to the reader concerning time/aspect.
Hope this is helpful. Certainly there are several here who could provide a better answer and/ or correct mine. A book you may find interesting and fun for exploring this concept is "Alpha to Omega" from Humez & Humez. Why don't you stick around and learn Greek. Download one of the Grammars and give it a shot. The people here are extremely helpful
Geoff wrote:It would be interesting to examine the impact of the rise of computers on language worldwide. Which languages lend themselves to discussing computers and how many words have been added to vocabularies. Ancient Greek is obviously not suited to writing a tech manual on some software.

GALVESTON, TX --The Coast Guard has helped save two men from Galveston Bay after a large wave hit a fishing boat and one person was swept overboard.
Coast Guard personnel on Sunday afternoon rescued the man swept from the boat and a friend who grabbed life vests for himself and his buddy -- then jumped in the water.
Petty Officer 1st Class David Sassner says the fishing boat operator tried to maneuver the vessel but broke his key in the ignition and stalled the engine.
A good Samaritan notified the Coast Guard, which responded by boat. Sassner says the two men were pulled from the water and the fishing boat was towed.
Nobody was hurt.

A doctor guides small robotic arms through several tiny keyhole incisions. This allows for greater range of movement than a doctor's hand.
Robot-assisted surgery is considered for procedures that:
Performing surgery in this way may result in:
Many types of surgery, including pediatric surgery, can now be done with the assistance of a robot, including:
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have robot-assisted surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Depending on the reason for your surgery, your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to the surgery:
Depending on the type of procedure that you have, you may be given:
Several small keyhole openings will be cut in the skin near where the surgery will take place. In most cases, a needle will be used to inject carbon dioxide gas into the surgical area. This gas will make it easier for the doctor to see internal structures. Next, a small camera called an endoscope will be passed through 1 of the incisions. The camera will light, magnify, and project an image of the organs onto a video screen. Then robotic arms holding instruments for grasping, cutting, dissecting, and suturing will be inserted through the holes.
While sitting at a console near the operating table, the doctor will use lenses to look at a magnified 3-D image of the inside of the body. Another doctor will stay by the table to adjust the camera and tools. The robotic arms and tools will be guided by movements of the surgeon. Lastly, the tools will be removed and stitches or staples will be used to close the area.
Usually 1-2 hours or less, depending on the procedure
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications. You may also feel discomfort from the gas used during the procedure. This can last up to 3 days.
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is a few days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you have any problems.
While you are recovering at the hospital, you will:
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:

Oh how I wish I had a hot tub! This has been a long week…a week that finally saw the completion of my transition to full time status here at Hot Tub Works. It's been two years in the making and I couldn't be more excited – but, it has been more than a few years since this old gal has worked a '9 to 5' schedule!
Oh sure, there is an in-ground Jacuzzi in the apartment complex where I live with my 3 kids. After listening to some of the stories from our customers, I don't think a soak in community 'germ soup' would be very relaxing.
(Note to customers: here at Hot Tub Works, we are your 'spa therapists' in every sense of the word – know that your stories are all safe under our cone of silence. But do keep them coming. We love when you share with us!).
I doubt that the nice folks who operate my community are as vigilant about water quality as we are here. So, how do those of us without a personal spa experience relax?
I am a big advocate of making a restful, retreat like environment in my own bedroom and bathroom. Nice sheets, pillows – the whole 'blissful bed' experience. Candles are a must, along with other aromatherapies. Just because I don't have a spa in my backyard (okay fine – I don't even have a backyard. I am learning to deal with it!) doesn't mean I can't use some of the amazing hot tub aromatherapy products we sell here. I can put some of the crystals in a small cloth bag and place them in the shower, or a tiny amount of the liquid product in a sink filled with hot water turns my bathroom into a restful, scented space.
Check out the entire selection of spa scents. How about some Mood Crystals in my car? That sounds like an awesome idea!
Now all I need is some smooth blues guitar from my iPod and a glass of wine. Ummm, is it 5 o'clock yet??
