Arie Bodek, professor and chair of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester, has been awarded the 2004 W. K. H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics for his many years of extraordinary physics research. The American Physical Society, which presented the award, noted Bodeks experimental work toward understanding the most elemental composition of matter, citing his broad, sustained, and insightful contributions to elucidating the structure of the nucleon, using a wide variety of probes, tools and methods at many laboratories.
Im very honored to receive this award, says Bodek. The structure of the nucleon has been a compelling question to the physics community, and this research has been dear to my heart. Im also proud to be the second person from our department to receive this award. In 1999, Edward Thorndike, professor of physics and astronomy, was also named a Panofsky winner. Columbia University and University of Rochester are the only two universities to claim two Panofsky Prize winners.
Since 1970, Bodek has been actively involved in experiments at high energy particle laboratories around the world. Bodeks research has revealed details of the structure of protons and neutrons (known as nucleons), which make up the atomic nucleus. His important contribution has been to initiate new experiments and cross-analyzing the results of different kinds of experiments. When two particles collide at very high speeds they penetrate one another, and their components either scatter like billiard balls or recombine into other particles. By capturing the energetic signature of the particles emerging from the collisions, scientists gather information about the components inside the nucleons and the forces by which those components interact.
Early experiments in which Bodek took part as a graduate student examined the way a beam of electronspoint particles, with no internal structureinteracted with stationary protons. This research revealed the then-surprising fact that protons were made up of another class of point particles, known as quarks. Researchers using current particle accelerators to learn more about quarks can collide one beam of high-speed protons into another, producing many quark-quark interactions at once. To interpret the complex patterns of energetic matter emerging from these collisions, these scientists need to understand how the quarks move and interact within each proton. Instead of dedicating his entire career to a single type of particle accelerator, Bodek designed experiments for different laboratories throughout the world. As a result, his analysis has focused on discovering the necessary consistencies and correlations between different kinds of particle data, allowing him to explain how quarks structure themselves inside a proton.
Arie is a veritable dynamobesides chairing our department, he has a very strong program at CERN, Fermilab, and at the Jefferson Lab, says Thomas Ferbel, professor of physics and astronomy.
Bodek is also highly active in physics education, science outreach activities, and in efforts to increase the number of underrepresented groups in science and engineering. He developed the physics departments teaching assistant training program in the 1980s, and co-founded the Pre-College Experience in Physics program for high school girls in 1994. He has also developed several interdisciplinary programs under the Department of Educations GAANN grants for graduate students, as well as two site projects under the NSFs Research Experience for Undergraduates program. One of these includes a component providing Research Experience for High School Teachers, following Bodeks involvement in the departments PARTICLE program for high school teachers. In 1998, he shared the University of Rochesters Goergen Award for Distinguished Contributions to Undergraduate Learning in The College, with Priscilla Auchincloss, Lynne H. Orr, and Connie Jones, for the Women in Science and Engineering Program
Bodek received his bachelors degree and doctorate in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For his doctorate, he worked with Henry Kendall and Jerome Friedman in experiments that provided evidence for the quark structure of matter. Kendall, Friedman, and Taylor later shared the 1990 Nobel Prize in physics for these experiments. In 1977, Bodek joined the University as an assistant professor in physics and became a full professor 10 years later. He has served as chair of the department of physics and astronomy since 1999.
The Panofsky Prize consists of $5,000 and a certificate, which will be presented at the American Physical Society meeting in Denver, Colo., in May of 2004.

James D Martin Heronry Overlook
The James D Martin Heronry Overlook provides a rare opportunity to observe an active heron rookery, without risking disturbance to the colony. Located at the southernmost edge of James D. Martin Wildlife Park, the heronry is protected from disturbance by its location on a small island in an extensive backwater of Neely Henry Lake, on the Coosa River, despite its proximity to I-759 and Gadsden Mall. Dozens of Great Blue Herons, and Great Egrets are present on their nests from March through late May or early June. After that, the heavy traffic of adult herons bringing food to their older nestlings adds additional interest for the rest of June and early July.
Black-crowned Night Herons and Double-crested Cormorants also nest on the island in smaller numbers. Green Herons nest in good numbers in the dense thickets along the shoreline. A sandbar at the southern end of the island plays host to a few shorebirds in addition to the Herons. During migration and late winter, watch for loafing gulls and terns here. Dabbling ducks, such as Gadwalls, and Northern Shovelers may be present in the shallows around the island. Outside the nesting season, the trees serve as roosts for Cormorants and hunting perches for the occasional Bald Eagle.
The Overlook is situated on the shoreline at the southernmost point of the lake, and is accessed from the Mall Parking lot. A short walk across the grass takes you to the best vantage point, beneath the canopy of a large oak tree on the shore, which provides welcome shade in warm weather. With or without a spotting scope, this vantage point provides an endlessly fascinating opportunity to observe the nesting behavior of these normally wary birds. Additional birding opportunities are offered by the thick tangle of vegetation to the left of the overlook, which often conceals Green Herons as well as a variety of songbirds.
Directions: From I-59 near Gadsden (Etowah County), take exit 182 onto I-759 East. Remain on I-759 for 5.5 miles, taking exit 4B to US 411 N. From US 411, pass the entrance to westbound I-759 and turn left into the Gadsden Mall. Follow to the left to reach the SW corner of the mall's parking lot, and walk to the water's edge to see the heronry on the large island to the lake.

Recently, I've been cruising right along on several projects. I've got… eleven… current projects and over the past weekend I think I managed to work on 7 of them. Part of the reason I was able to work on so many was that I kept running out of ^*$# yarn. First, I decided to work on the market bag I'm making for my mom.
That's BYOB by Moria Ravenscroft from the Summer 2008 Knitty. I'm making it with Knit Picks new cotton yarn Dishie. It feels like a great yarn for market bags, dish towels, scrubbies, etc. but I would never make something like a garment with it–too stiff, it would never drape. Soft, but stiff. The pattern calls for two balls of a yarn that is 207 yards per ball for the main color. Dishie comes in balls of 190 yards. As you can see, those extra 34 yards are critical. All I have left to knit are the handles. An emergency ball is on the way and hopefully I'll have the bag done soon.
After that disappointment, I picked up a project I haven't worked on in quite a while and got pretty close to finishing.
That's the Op Art blanket by Melissa Dominguez from the fall 2008 Knitty. (Clearly 2008 was a good year for Knitty). I started this when I first moved to Oregon way back in July 2009. Mostly, I started it as a way to use up the two huge skeins of Carron One Pound I was given by a well meaning family friend. I figured two POUNDS of yarn would be enough to finish a moderate-sized blanket. Imagine my extreme frustration when I ran out of yarn 9 rows from the end. Since the size of the stripes matters, I can't just stop where I am and bind off. I could go back to the last whole stripe, but I really wanted it to end on a white stripe… My own weird aesthetic. That would mean going back a whole strip and a half and would leave me with quite a lot of left over yarn, thus defeating my plan to use up all the yarn with this blanket.
Ravelry to the rescue. Another kind knitter used this yarn for a project and had about 4 ounces left over. The yarn is coming to me as we speak. I love living in the digital age. I could not function in a world without "the cloud"….. mmm instant gratification, instant information, instant organization.
Had I not run out of yarn on these two projects I probably would have given them each some serious dedicated work and maybe had a few FOs to show for my weekend, but as it is, it was nice to revisit so many of my current projects and get back in touch with why I love them.

IN the home gym that was once a two-car garage but is now carpeted and freshly painted, there is a cushioned board known as a tilt table. A quadriplegic can be strapped onto it and swiveled upright to about 75 degrees, to reacquaint his feet with the weight of his dead limbs. "If you don't keep working on your body, muscles atrophy," the man who had the gym built said.
"Bones become brittle and unable to take weight. All of this is in preparation for walking, of course."
Of course?
Well, yes, at least in the mind of Christopher Reeve, who sees certain success where others might find only doubts. He believes there will be a cure for his paralysis, and in anticipation of that day, when he plans to rise out of the wheelchair he now must steer by blowing into a tube, he is keeping fit with physical therapy.
Since he broke his neck in a horseback-riding accident nearly a year ago, Mr. Reeve has become perhaps the most visible quadriplegic ever. His desire to define himself not as a patient but as a person has carried him to an emotional Oscar-night appearance and has recently led him into a health-insurance-reform fight on Capitol Hill, where a measure he has lobbied for is scheduled to be introduced in the Senate on April 18.
"Yes, it was terrible what happened to me," Mr. Reeve said in the sunny exercise room. "But why should I be exempt? I had one very unlucky and unpredictable moment. The choice is whether to wallow in self-pity and musings about the past or to take a pro-active stance about the future."Continue reading the main story
He had steered his wheelchair close to a window and adjusted it to a semi-reclining position, as though it were a high-tech Barcalounger. His fingernails were carefully manicured, but his hair seemed unkempt, perhaps because he cannot fit into a shower at home and has had to rely on sponge baths.
Mr. Reeve, his wife, Dana, and their 3-year-old son, Will, live in a contemporary shingle-sided farmhouse in this woodsy suburb. Gradually the house is being refitted with steel ramps and wider doors to meet his needs. Since there is no elevator to the second floor, he has been sleeping in the living room. He hopes to begin work soon on a wheelchair-friendly wing.
Only a few years ago, a patient like Mr. Reeve would have lived out his days in a nursing home. But now, thanks in large part to a portable ventilator that fits behind his wheelchair, he is able to live at home. He calls himself "a vent-dependent C2 quad," meaning that he broke his second cervical vertebra.
He said he still needs round-the-clock nursing care in case his ventilator fails -- as it did twice the night before. He, his doctor and his wife were drawn into a battle royal with his insurance company when it refused at first to pay for the nurses, he said. "They said my wife can just stay home and do it," he said. "I tried to stay out of it, but finally I called and said, 'Think about how unfair it is to expect my wife to stay home 24 hours a day.' " The insurer, which he declined to name, relented.
Mr. Reeve's life is now enormously complex. To get him to the Oscars, two months of meticulous planning were required. What worried him most was the risk that once on stage before a worldwide audience, his arms or legs might violently spasm.
"My doctor said, 'If you spasm it's only human -- it'll make people aware of what can happen to spinal-cord victims,' " Mr. Reeve said. "But it was not going to make me happy. It would make people feel sorry for me."
As he rolled out of his dressing-room door, a bump caused a spasm. Mr. Reeve flopped over at the waist and his arms and legs were left hanging. Aides repositioned him, and he went on without incident.
"I sort of willed myself to not have anything go wrong," he said.
He appeared that night before millions as he does in his home, his blue eyes and square jaw as lively as in the movies, but attached to a body as immobile as marble. His voice, thanks to the ventilator inflating his lungs 11 times a minute, is clear and steady, with a slightly patrician tone.
Before the accident, Mr. Reeve had helped to found the Creative Coalition, a social advocacy group. He was also one of the most persistent celebrity lobbyists defending the National Endowment for the Arts.
Now, he has turned to speaking on behalf of spinal-injury patients. "The more I can do things that I did in quote 'normal' life, the better I feel," he said. He is on the board of the American Paralysis Association, which raises money for research. On May 13, he will be the host at a reception in Washington for another group promoting research, the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. The following day he hopes to meet with President Clinton. Mr. Reeve claimed that if the Government would commit $40 million a year to spinal-cord research -- "a wing of one B-2 bomber" -- paralyzing injuries could be curable in 5 to 10 years.
Last month, he sent a letter to all the United States Senators asking for support on another health-care issue, one he became aware of, to his great chagrin, while he was a patient at the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in New Jersey. For the first time, his wife read the fine print on his health insurance policy, which he had bought through a union when he was a television actor, and learned that he had a lifetime cap of $1.2 million in benefits. With his care costing $400,000 a year, his benefits were suddenly inadequate.
He was not alone. About 60 percent of employer-sponsored health plans have lifetime caps, he learned, with $1 million the industry standard. Each year about 1,500 people exhaust their benefits with little choice but to spend their assets until, impoverished, they turn to Medicaid.
"Every day much of the discussion in the halls of Kessler would be about insurance," Mr. Reeve said. A paralyzed construction worker had to sell his house, he said. Others faced invading the money they had saved for their children's educations.
In his letter to lawmakers, Mr. Reeve asked for support for a proposal by Senator James H. Jeffords, Republican of Vermont, to raise lifetime caps to $10 million. The measure, which Senator Jeffords plans to introduce during a floor debate scheduled for April 18, is opposed by insurance companies and employers' groups, who say it will amount to a costly shackle on business. Supporters of raising the caps point to a study by the American Academy of Actuaries, which found that insurance premiums would rise only about $8 a year for each covered adult.
"It's simply inaccurate in my opinion that employers can't afford it," Mr. Reeve said. "It would not be a hardship to them economically, and it would be the right thing to do."
But even supporters of the $10 million cap admit that, because of Senate politics, their cause is a long shot.
Mr. Reeve does not pretend that he might soon have to sell his own house. He anticipates that he will be able to make a good living even after his insurance is gone. In January, Random House agreed to pay him a $3 million advance for a book about his recovery. Last week, he was cast as the voice of King Arthur in a Warner Brothers animated feature, "The Quest for Camelot." And he has found a place on the lucrative circuit of elite motivational speakers. He has booked about a dozen speaking dates through the end of the year, at fees of $50,000 to $60,000 each.
"This insurance fight is not so much for me," Mr. Reeve said. "It's for the people down the hall from me at Kessler who are desperate and became my friends over the seven months I was there."
Mr. Reeve said that once his primary insurance policy runs out in two years, he has another policy that should last for three more years.
"That's a total of five," he said. "I'm expecting that within five years, if we get the funding, I'll be up and around. I'm not kidding. I really believe that."Continue reading the main story

Diabetes Planned Visit Notebook
28. All About Insulin
Table of Contents
Summa Health System developed this fact sheet for patients who need to take insulin to manage their diabetes. Care providers give it to patients during diabetes planned visits, and it is part of the Diabetes Planned Visit Notebook.
All About Insulin
Family Medicine Center of Akron
Copyright © 1997 American Diabetes Association Adapted from the ADA Patient Information
What Is Insulin?
Inside the pancreas, beta cells make the protein insulin. With each meal, beta cells release insulin to help the body use or store the glucose it gets from food.
People with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes no longer make insulin. They need insulin shots to use glucose from meals.
People with non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes make insulin, but their bodies don't respond well to it. Some people with type 2 diabetes need diabetes pills or extra insulin in shots to help their bodies use their own insulin better.
If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and inject insulin, you have many questions about insulin. Insulin cannot be taken as a pill. Because it is a protein, it would be broken down during digestion just like the protein in food. It must be injected into the fat under your skin for insulin to get into your blood.
Insulin comes from either animals or is made in labs by bacteria that have gene instructions to make human insulin. Human insulin does not come from humans.
There are three broad types of insulin, based on:
- How soon the insulin starts working (onset).
- When it works the hardest (peak time).
- How long it lasts in your body (duration).
However, each person responds to insulin in his or her own way. That is why onset, peak time, and duration are given as ranges.
Short-acting (Humulin R, Novolin R, Regular) insulin usually reaches the blood within 30 minutes after injection. It peaks 2 to 4 hours later and stays in the blood for about 4 to 8 hours.
Intermediate-acting (Humulin N, Novolin N, NPH) insulins reach the blood 2 to 6 hours after injection. They peak 4 to 14 hours later and stay in the blood for about 14 to 24 hours.
Long-acting (Lente, Ultralente) insulin takes 6 to 14 hours to start working. It has no peak or a very small peak 14 to 24 hours after injection. It stays in the blood between 20 and 36 hours.
Some types of insulin come mixed together. For example, you can buy Regular and NPH insulins already mixed in one bottle. They make life easier if you need to inject two kinds of insulin at the same time. However, you can't adjust the amount of one insulin without also changing how much you get of the other insulin.
Insulins come dissolved in liquids at different strengths. Most people use U-100 insulin. This means it has 100 units of insulin per millimeter of fluid. Be sure that the syringe you use matches the insulin strength. U-100 insulin needs a U-100 syringe. In Europe and Latin America, U-40 insulin is also used.
If you're outside the United States, be certain to match your insulin strength with the correct size syringe.
Storage and Safety
Insulin makers advise storing insulin in the refrigerator, but using cold insulin can make the shot more painful. You can keep the bottle of insulin you are currently using at room temperature or warm the bottle by gently rolling it between your hands before you fill the syringe.
If you buy more than one bottle of insulin at a time, store the extra bottles in the refrigerator until you start to use them.
Never store insulin at very cold (under 36 degrees Fahrenheit) or very hot (over 86 degrees Fahrenheit) temperatures. Extreme temperatures destroy insulin. Do not put your insulin in the freezer or in direct sunlight.
Before using any insulin, check the expiration date. Insulin may lose potency slightly if the bottle has been used for more than 30 days. Look at the bottle closely to make sure the insulin looks normal. If you use Regular, it should be perfectly clear with no floating pieces or color.
If you use NPH or Lente, it should be cloudy, with no floating pieces or crystals on the bottle. If you find any problems, return the bottle of insulin for an exchange or refund.
Insulin Therapy
With your health care team's help, you can find an insulin therapy routine that will control your blood glucose, help you feel good, and fit your lifestyle.
Conventional insulin therapy means taking the same shots at the same times each day—usually a shot in the morning and a shot in the evening.
For most people, conventional therapy prevents dangerously high or low blood glucose levels. But conventional therapy may leave blood glucose levels too high. These higher glucose levels increase the risk of problems with your eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
For that reason, many doctors now advise intensive insulin therapy. This therapy aims to keep your blood glucose as close to normal as possible. Intensive therapy means either taking three or four shots daily or using an insulin pump.
For good results, you must take a very active role in your diabetes care and test your blood glucose level often. Based on your blood glucose records, you and your health care team will fine-tune your treatment plan.
Intensive therapy takes more work but gives you more choices. You are not tied to certain eating or exercise times. However, because you are keeping your blood glucose levels lower, there is a chance of more low blood glucose reactions.
You may also gain some weight. Because you are matching insulin needs closely to glucose levels, your body is able to use and store more of the calories from glucose instead of losing them in the urine.
Talk with your health care team about whether the greater freedom and chance to avoid diabetes complications are worth the drawbacks of intensive therapy.
It is hard to improve your blood glucose control without testing your blood glucose. Writing down your results and looking over weeks or months of results can help you predict and avoid low or high blood glucose levels.
Tests show how exercise, an exciting event, or a special meal affected your glucose level. By knowing that, you can change your insulin to prevent problems.
Site Rotation
The place on your body where you inject insulin affects blood glucose control. Insulin enters the blood at different speeds when injected at different sites. Insulin shots work fastest when given in the abdomen.
Insulin arrives in the blood a little more slowly from the upper arms and even more slowly from the thighs and buttocks.
Injecting insulin in the same general area (for example, your abdomen) will give you the best results from your insulin. This is because the insulin will reach the blood with about the same speed with each shot. Don't inject in exactly the same place each time but move around the same area.
If you take several shots a day, you may want to choose one site (perhaps the upper arm) for morning shots, another site for lunch shots, and a third site for evening shots.
If you inject near the same place each time, hard lumps or extra fatty deposits may develop. Both of these problems are unsightly and make the insulin action less reliable.
Good blood glucose control is all in the timing. The idea is to time your shots so that insulin goes to work when glucose from your food starts to enter your blood. To do this, you need to know how soon your insulin starts to lower your blood glucose. You can find this out by self-monitoring.
Syringe Reuse
Some doctors believe that you can safely reuse your syringe. However, if you are ill, have open wounds on your hands, or have poor resistance to infection for any reason, you should not risk syringe reuse.
Reusing syringes may help you cut costs, avoid buying large supplies of syringes, and reduce waste. However, talk with your doctor or nurse before you begin reusing. They can help you decide whether reuse would be a wise choice for you.
Syringe Disposal
It is time to dispose of a syringe when the needle is dull or bent or if it has come in contact with anything other than clean skin. Proper syringe disposal is important. Your syringe is medical waste.
If you can do it safely, clip the needles off the syringes. When you remove the needle, no one can use the syringe. It is best to buy a device that clips, catches, and contains the needle. Do not use scissors to clip off needles—the flying needle could hurt someone or become lost.
If you do not destroy your needles, recap them. Place the needle or entire syringe in an opaque (not clear) heavy-duty plastic bottle with a screw cap or a plastic or metal box that closes firmly. Do not use a container that will allow the needle to break through. Make sure your syringe container doesn't get recycled.
Your area may have special rules for getting rid of medical waste like used syringes. Ask your refuse company or city or county waste authority what method meets their rules. When traveling, bring your used syringes home. Pack them in a heavy-duty holder, such as a hard plastic pencil box, for transport.

METO FENIX Marks Down Its Annual Telephony Costs By 30% with 3CX Phone System
Welcome to a one-stop shop for retailers.
Throughout Austria, the METO FENIX brand stands for competent, reliable and flexible customer service and the best value for money. METO FENIX Handels GmbH provides retail establishments of every stripe with customized security and labeling solutions. The company offers retailers innovative and efficient sales promotion solutions for product pricing, showroom advertising, shelf management, shopping convenience and smart and secured merchandising, including barcode systems, labeling and electromagnetic and radio frequency (RF) article surveillance. METO FENIX quality solutions are durable, flexible and easy to use – they are designed to meet the needs of fast-paced retail environments by optimizing customer contact on the sales floor.
Putting an Outdated PBX Back on the Shelf
Even though METO FENIX provides Austrian retailers with cutting-edge technology solutions, it was tied down by an outdated, restrictive hardware PBX. The company was using a Siemens Hicom PBX, which it found inflexible: it was out of date, its technical options were limited, and Siemens wasn't delivering updates and new features. A growing SME with multiple offices and a mobile staff, METO FENIX decided to shop around for a better telecommunications solution. The company wanted a Windows-based VoIP PBX that would deliver enterprise mobility and Unified Communications to its 26-member team. The PBX had to be easy to install, showroom-ready and capable of managing an average of 6,500 calls per month.
METO FENIX selected 3CX Phone System, the most competent, reliable and flexible VoIP PBX on the market. CEO Ilija Medic describes 3CX Phone System as an "easy and flexible Microsoft-based solution that integrates perfectly into our existing infrastructure and totally fits our needs." He also decided 3CX Phone System was the best long-term solution for METO FENIX because it's feature-rich, and because 3CX releases an updated version of 3CX Phone System every year. Mr. Medic was also pleased with the system's transparent pricing.
Unwrapping a Cutting Edge PBX
METO FENIX invited Viennese IT company headON, a B2B telephony solutions specialist, to install and deploy 3CX Phone System. The installation and configuration was completed quickly and without disturbing day-to-day operations at METO FENIX, and 3CX Phone System was immediately stable. METO FENIX is now using one SIP Trunk line and two ISDN lines in tandem with a Beronet Berofix 2T0 VoIP Gateway and 40 Yealink T28 phones (for 40 extensions).
3CX Phone System now gives the METO FENIX team professional call center features at an affordable price – this includes call pickup, call forwarding, queues, group ringing, hunt groups, presence, auto attendant, inbound and outbound call routing, a softphone option and call logging and reporting. METO FENIX employees can now avail themselves of key call information such as queue status and the number of callers in a queue. When calls are received at METO FENIX, if they aren't taken immediately, 3CX Phone System places them in a queue and notifies staff members about priority calls and wait times.

The Amazon Appstore is officially open for business. At this time there are 4,083 apps available and 1,435 of them are free. There are 29 categories to choose from along with top rated, new, and coming soon. The one exclusive app I know of is Angry Birds Rio.
I signed in this morning and downloaded my first app, Angry Birds Rio. It was fairly easy. You will need to get the Amazon Appstore App directly from Amazon because it is not available in the Google Market. I signed up using my desktop. On the main page you will see a link to the right that looks like this:
You will then receive a download link on your device for the apk. You must enable 3rd party apps on your device by going to settings / applications and clicking "unknown sources." If you are on AT&T you will not be able to do this which means the Amazon Appstore will not be available to you until AT&T changes their policy on 3rd party apps. After the apk is is downloaded and installed you will then open the app and sign in using your existing amazon account.
You can search and install apps from either your device or you desktop, but when you do it from your desktop it will not start downloading to your device automatically like the official market. You need to open your appstore app on your device and there will be a notification within the app telling you that there are downloads that you need to accept. You can also hit menu / my apps and there will be a tab called "new" that will show you all apps that need to be downloaded. After the app is downloaded you still need to accept again to install. It would be easier if there were notifications on your home screen so you can accept the download quicker. I did not find anything in the settings on this so hopefully it is something they will add later.
Along the topic of notifications, you will not receive any on the home screen when an app has been updated. You will again have to go in to the Amazon Appstore to find out. In the "my apps" section there is a tab called "updates" that will list any apps that need to be updated. Apps that are downloaded from Amazon will have to be updated through Amazon. I downloaded an app that is in both Google and Amazon and of course it does not show up as installed in the Google Market so therefore there is no way to update it through Google. Furthermore, it appears that the apps are either titled differently or the developer has a different name to create differentiation. For example I found Pulse News Reader in Google, but in Amazon it is Pulse News. I found that WeatherBug Elite is titled the same, but the developer in Google is Weatherbug mobile and in Amazon it is AWC Convergence Technologies. These are the same exact apps, but this forces you to download updates through Amazon.
If you want to uninstall any Amazon apps you will have to do it manually by going to menu / applications / manage applications. I do not see an easy uninstall link within Amazon. I did uninstall an app manually on my device and when going back to the Amazon Appstore, it was still listed in the "my apps" section with "install" next to it just like the Google Market. Hopefully they will add an uninstall link in the near future.
One interesting feature is the test drive feature. You will see the following link when looking at the app's main page:
You can actually see and try the app using your mouse to control the app on your desktop to see what it is like. This did not work at all in Chrome. I was able to get it to work in Internet Explorer, but for some reason I no longer see the link in either browser. They might be trying to fix it. I cannot tell you if this feature is available for every app or only a select few. I tried it with a very simple dice rolling app which worked well, but I am not sure how well it will do with something more complex. It is a good idea and I am sure it will evolve over time.
It has already been reported that it is all about price with Amazon. It looks like they will be offering a free app of the day and today it is Angry Birds Rio. You will also find a deals section. Right now there are 22 apps (11 games) and they range from 17% to 50% off. The first app I noticed was Flashlight Shaker. It was listed at 50% off and upon checking it with the Google Market it was indeed 50% off. Google had it for $1.99 and Amazon for .99 cents. After spot checking a few apps it appears that if it is not on the deal page the price will be the same as Google. Amazon obviously wants you to check back regularly to see what is on sale.
One concern I have is purchase history. Right now all my apps I have downloaded (both paid and free) are tied to my gmail account. If I get a new phone all my apps are easily found and downloaded. For those that download a number of apps from Amazon, you will have one extra step in that you will have to log in to reinstall those apps. That is not a big deal, but what happens if Amazon decides to close the market? You will have to re-purchase the apps from the Google Market. I think the chances are slim, but it is something that needs to be considered.
The Amazon Appstore seems easy to use, but I am not in love with it. The fact that the app name or developer names are different, you cannot easily uninstall apps, and there are no proper notifications makes it quirky. Do I plan to use it? I guess time will tell. The only thing that will make the Amazon store successful is price and exclusivity. If they are much cheaper on a particular app, I will definitely consider it. I can't see myself downloading free apps from Amazon unless it is an exclusive or if it is free because it is on sale. It is easier to keep most of you apps tied to gmail. Amazon is in this for the long haul so I expect it to get better. I still think it is nice to have the choice and that is what Android is all about.
UPDATE: Thank you to the user comments below for telling me the Amazon Appstore is only available in the United States. For those outside the US, you may be able to download the app for you phone, but you will not be able to install any apps.

Dozens of Donors File Federal Trade Commission Complaints Against Humane Society of the United States

Download Report: Dozens_of_Donors_File_Federal_Trade_Commission_Complaints_Against_Humane_Society_of_the_United_States.mp3
The nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) against the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) for orchestrating a deceptive advertising campaign. CCF also passed along complaints submitted by 77 donors through its website www.HelpPetShelters.com.
In November 2017, HSUS drove traffic to a web page on its HumaneSociety.org domain that contained false information. On the web page in question, a graphic claimed that only 19 percent of HSUS donations are spent on fundraising. However, HSUS' Form 990 tax return for 2016, its most recent filing, shows that the organization spends at least 29 percent of its budget on fundraising. Factoring in joint cost expenditures that are allocated to management or program spending, the total fundraising number rises to 52 percent. (Charities may classify portions of fundraising appeals as "educational" expenses to seem more efficient with donations.)
Despite its name, the Humane Society of the United States is not affiliated with the many humane societies in towns and counties that operate pet shelters. HSUS does not run a single pet shelter, despite suggesting otherwise in its solicitations to prospective donors. Some (but by no means all) previous advertising had disclosed this fact. In 2014, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt issued a public "consumer alert" concerning donations to HSUS.
You can read CCF's complaint here: https://www.humanewatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/FTC_complaint_December_2017.pdf
"Regulators need to stop well-meaning Americans who want to help pets from being ripped off," said CCF Managing Director Will Coggin. "Donors want to help homeless animals—not wealthy D.C. executives who mislead the public about how their money will be used."

SV3C Personalized SerDes Tester
More integrated; even more productive
The SV3C Personalized SerDes Tester is an ultra-portable, high-performance instrument capable of receiver and transmitter validation at data rates up to 14 Gbps and on up to 32 lanes simultaneously. Like the original SV1C, the SV3C integrates multiple technologies in order to enable the self-contained test and measurement of SerDes interfaces such as PCI Express Gen 3, MIPI M-PHY, or USB3. This highly integrated tester also includes unique reconfiguration and protocol technologies that allow it to tackle advanced protocols such as MIPI C-PHY and MIPI D-PHY.
Key Benefits
- Highest level of integration at 32 lanes in a handheld form factor
- Fully-synthesized integrated jitter injection on all lanes
- Flexible pre-emphasis, equalization, and clock recovery per lane
- Flexible loopback support per lane
- State of the art programming environment based on the highly intuitive Python language
- Single-ended or differential low-speed I/O for digital test vector processing
- Reconfigurable, protocol customization (on request)
Hot Links
Key Features
Any-Rate Clocking
The SV3C includes internal frequency synthesizers capable of generating any test data rate. Additionally, the SV3C contains reference clock outputs for driving devices under test or generating synchronization references for other equipment. For most applications, all lanes are operated at a single data rate. However, the clock system enables multiple lane clocking configurations depending on the various protocol and multi-site requirements
Burst-Mode BER Testing
Modern SerDes interfaces require complex training sequences and sophisticated power-efficient operating modes. Often called burst-mode, many SerDes transmissions require a new class of Error Detector: one that is able to compute BER on only sections of a non-continuous transmitted data stream. The SV3C includes the optional ability to automatically track intermittent sleep/burst cycles within a test pattern and to measure only relevant payload sections.
Per-Lane Clock Recovery and Unique Dual-Path Architecture
True to the integrated nature of its design, each SV3C receiver has its own embedded analog clock recovery circuit. That is, 32 individual CDR circuits are monolithically integrated in this miniature test system, thus offering the lowest possible sampling latency in a test and measurement instrument. The monolithic nature of the SV3C clock recovery helps achieve wide tracking bandwidth for measuring signals that possess spread-spectrum clocking or very high amplitude wander. Additionally, the SV3C features a dual-path receiver architecture. This unique architecture allows the SV3C to operate as both a digital capture/analysis instrument and an analog measurement instrument. A feature rich clock management system allows for customization of the SV3C to specific customer requirements.

I was born into the grift, raised on the thrill of playing someone I'm not. As a rule, I never let anyone get too close—until Cole August makes it impossible for me to stay away. Cole is tough, sexy, and intensely loyal, yet his secrets are dark and his scars run deep. Not many women can handle his past, or the truth behind his fierce demands. But something about him beckons me—and our desire is a game I must play. I know he's dangerous, that even his touch is trouble, but what is passion without a little risk?

He let go, then moved to face me. I missed his touch, but the trade-off was worth it. I'm not the kind of girl who swoons over hunky firemen calendars and I've only seen Magic Mike once. But as far as eye candy went, Cole was a walking, talking Milky Way bar, and at least as tempting. "Really,"he confirmed. An easy smile bloomed on his face, and he shook his head slowly, with obvious pleasure. "I didn't realize that working as a barista required such honed salesmanship." "I'm a woman of many talents,"I said, then fluttered my lashes. "Damn right you are."He drew in a breath as he looked at me, and try as I might, I had no clue what he was thinking. "That was quite the commission you just brought in,"he finally said. "I have a feeling you'll be getting Christmas cards from Tiki for the rest of your life." "I look forward to it. What about you?"I asked boldly, and blamed it on the wine. I met his eyes, and fervently hoped that mine really were a window to the soul, because right then I wanted him to see straight inside me. "What will I get from you?" "That depends on what you want." "Want,"I repeated. Where Cole was concerned, what didn't I want? "I told you earlier that you owed me," he said. "Do you want to call us even?" "Do you?" He was silent for a moment, and then one moment longer. "No,"he finally said. I lifted my chin. "Good." His expression remained perfectly stoic, but he lifted his hand toward my face, then dropped it, as if he were a child who'd caught himself about to do something naughty. "It's okay,"I said, my voice almost a whisper. "I won't break." "Don't be so sure, blondie. I've been known to destroy even the most resilient things." "I'm not a thing. And you won't destroy me."I hesitated only a second, then took one step closer. The difference was only inches, but the air seemed suddenly thicker, as if my lungs had to work harder to draw in oxygen. "It's okay,"I said again. All around us, the party continued, but I'm not sure either one of us was aware. Instead, it felt as if we'd stepped into a vortex, and at least in our little corner of space and time nothing else mattered or even existed. I held my breath, wanting his touch so badly I could taste it. And when he finally brushed the side of his thumb over my cheekbone, it was all I could do not to moan aloud. All too quickly he took his hand away, leaving me bereft. All too quickly he stepped back, forcing the world around us to come back to life. "I just had to see if I was right,"he said. "About?" "Your skin. It's like touching a promise." "Is it?"I murmured. "Tender,"he said. "And a bit mysterious. With layer upon layer just waiting to be discovered." My breath stuttered in my chest. "I didn't know you thought that,"I said. "I didn't know you thought about me at all." He was silent for so long I began to fear he wasn't going to answer. When he spoke, his words cut through me, sharp and sweet. "I think about you more than I should." It was suddenly very warm in the gallery. Little beads of sweat gathered at the hairline on the back of my neck. I needed air, because it seemed as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room. Somehow, miraculously, I formed words. "What are you thinking now?"

Did not! Did too! Obama, Romney quote each other to score points
Obama and Romney spent the second debate calling one another out on factual missteps, repeatedly bringing up past interviews and speeches.
Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney consumed a good portion of Tuesday night's debate fact-checking one another.
And while they sometimes sounded like squabbling siblings in the back seat of the family car, their words, albeit occasionally out of context, zeroed in on vulnerabilities that could be critical in the campaign's final weeks.
The most contentious moment came in response to a question from a member of the audience about embassy security in Libya. That gave Romney a chance to accuse the president of waiting a full two weeks before conceding that the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador was in fact terrorism.
Obama fired back that he had done so the next day in a statement in the White House Rose Garden. Romney seemed taken aback.
"I want to make sure we get that for the record because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror," Romney said, with a sharp look at the president to emphasize his incredulity.
"Get the transcript," the president replied.
The moderator, CNN's Candy Crowley interjected, "It, it, it, he did in fact, sir." But she also added: "It did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea there being a riot out there about this tape to come out."
In fact, Obama used the word "terror" in the Rose Garden statement but did not specifically apply it to the Benghazi attack.
After a reference to the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, as well as to Benghazi, he said: "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation..."
It's also true that the administration only slowly acknowledged that the assault was orchestrated by extremists rather than a demonstration that spun out of control.
The two also bickered over words in connection with energy policy. Romney said the administration's tight regulations are throttling fossil fuel production and eliminating jobs.
"What we don't need is to have the president keeping us from taking advantage of oil, coal and gas," Romney said. "This has not been Mr. Oil, or Mr. Gas, or Mr. Coal."
Obama then flung in Romney's face a statement the challenger made while fighting a polluting coal facility in Massachusetts.
"When I hear Governor Romney say he's a big coal guy, I mean, keep in mind, when - Governor, when you were governor of Massachusetts, you stood in front of a coal plant and pointed at it and said, 'This plant kills,' and took great pride in shutting it down. And now suddenly you're a big champion of coal."
Romney did in fact utter approximately those words in 2003 when fighting Pacific Gas and Electric's efforts to delay tougher anti-pollution standards against the Salem Harbor Power Station in the Boston area, according to PolitiFact.
The candidates were at each others' throats over immigration as well. An audience member named Lorraine Osorio asked the contenders what they would do about people working in the United States without proper documentation.
The president attacked Romney for supporting an Arizona state law that many consider excessively harsh because it allows police officers to ask people for identification if they suspect them of having entered the United States illegally.
"He called the Arizona law a model for the nation," the president said.
But Romney defended himself, saying he had only singled out a portion of the law that was less controversial as worth emulating.
"I did not say that the Arizona law was a model for the nation in that aspect," he said, adding he said the "E-Verify" part of the law that requires employers to verify the legal status of employees was a model.
A transcript of Romney's comment, made during a February 2012 CNN Republican primary debate, seems more or less to support Romney's version.
During a discussion of immigration policy, he said: "You know, I think you see a model in Arizona. They passed a law here that says - that says that people who come here and try and find work, that the employer is required to look them up on E- Verify."
Immigration is a sore spot for Romney for many, particularly among Hispanic voters, because the former Massachusetts governor has advocated a "self-deportation" approach that aims to make undocumented immigrants uncomfortable enough to leave on their own. Many consider it draconian.
The two also exchanged barbs over domestic energy production, with Romney nettling the president with his accurate charge that production of oil on public land is down 14 percent and production of gas on public land is down 9 percent.
"Production is up," Obama said.
"Is down," Romney replied.
"No it isn't," the president insisted.
While Romney's numbers are correct, the decline is "cherry-picked" and doesn't reflect overall trends, PolitiFact says. Production was hobbled one year by the Deepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.
From 2009-2011 oil production rose two out of three years for a net increase of 10.6 percent, according to PolitiFact, which cites U.S. Energy Information Administration data.
In the Bush years it fell four of five years for a net decrease of 16.8 percent.

1) What are the common drugs of abuse?
Common drugs in India are smoking (cigarettes, beedis) & chewing tobacco (gutkha, pan masala), alcohol, cannabis (ganja, bhang, charas), opioids (heroin, opium, injection Buprenorphine, capsule Spasmoproxyvon, cough syrups), Sedative-Hypnotics (sleeping pills, Alprazolam, Diazepam) and Inhalants (typewriter correction fluid).
Cocaine & Amphetamine (Ecstasy tablets) use is rare in India.
2) What are licit & illicit drugs?
Smoking & chewing tobacco and alcohol are licit (legal) drugs in most states in India. All other drugs are illicit (illegal), hence possession, use, etc. are punishable offences.
Narcotic pharmacological product use without appropriate physician's prescription is considered illicit.
Different age limits exist for use of alcohol / tobacco products in various states of India.
In some countries all drugs (including tobacco & alcohol) are illicit, e.g. Saudi Arabia.
In some countries cannabis is a licit substance (in certain areas/districts), e.g. Denmark.
3) What are the socio-demographic characteristics of an average drug user?
Overall males use drugs much more than women. The pattern of use of licit drugs differs from that of illicit drugs. Licit drug use is prevalent between the ages of 16 to 60 years in all economic strata, more so in young adults. Illicit drugs are mainly used in lower & lower middle economic groups. Cocaine & Amphetamine use is rare and seen in some young adults from higher economic backgrounds.
4) What is the vulnerable age of slipping into Drug Abuse?
Youngsters between the ages of 16 and 21 years are most prone to initiating alcohol & drug use.
5) What is the natural history of Drug Abuse?
Many adolescents experiment with smoking & alcohol in their late teens. This usually occurs at parties. Some also try cannabis and rarely illicit drugs. Most of them outgrow these tendencies and move into adulthood as teetotalers. Some may continue with regular use of a single drug, e.g. cigarette smoking, or use drugs occasionally, e.g. alcohol.
Regular drug use results in several adverse consequences in the personal, social, occupational spheres of users in the 20s, 30s & 40s. Some quit intermittently and some quit for long durations. Most users usually quit drug use in their late 40s. Some may continue lifelong.
6) What are the medical harm associated with Drug Abuse?
Medical harm depends on type, amount, duration of drugs use, and certain protective factors.
Tobacco use is related to lung cancer (smoking), oral cancer (chewing), heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), dental problems, chronic bronchitis, impotence in males & fetal defects in unborn children (in pregnant women)
Chronic alcohol use may lead to hepatitis or cirrhosis of liver, gastritis, pancreatitis , depression, impotence in males, cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure, neuropathy, obesity, predispose to some cancers (mouth, gullet, liver, colon and breast) and accidents – automobiles, domestic & workplace (injury, fire, drowning). Hooch use can cause severe illness & permanent blindness.
All drugs produce harm according to the route of intake. Those drugs that are inhaled cause respiratory tract infections and may predispose to tuberculoses of lungs. Those drugs which are injected can cause infections of the veins, infection in the blood, abscesses in various internal organs & muscle, and spread blood-brone infections (e.g. Hepatitis B & C) if needles are shared between users.
Opoids & sedatives may be dangerous if overdosed. Inhalants may produce burns in mouth, nostrils, abnormal heart rhythms & sudden death.
Protective factors include good nutrition, drug use restricted to social occasions (e.g. alochol) and regular contact with treatment facility.
7) What are the non-medical consequences of drug use?
These are in the context of marriage, family, society, workplace, finances & the law.
Marital complications: Disapproval of drug use by the spouse, deteriorating interpersonal relationships, impotence in males, frequent fights, separation & divorce.
Familial complications: Disapproval of drug use by family members, frequent fights, embarrassing events due to intoxication.
Social complications: Misbehavior with others, loss of prestige in society & social standing, alienation, exclusion of drug user & family from social occasions by other members of the society.
Occupational complications: Irregular work habits, absenteeism, poor work output, accidents due to intoxication, misbehavior & insubordination, frequent complaints, salary deductions, loss of pay, sacking, unemployment, difficulty on re-acquiring job, frequent change of jobs.
Financial complications: Cost of drugs, and paraphernalia (syringes), transport, additional snacks, medical costs, diversion of household expenses for drug procurement, stealing money from home, selling household items for drugs, loans from family, friends, office and other sources.
Legal complications: Driving & traffic accidents, brawls during intoxicated state, arrest for possession or use of illicit drug, peddling of drug for sustaining drug use habit.
8) Are there any safe limits of drug use?
Safe limit is defined only in the context of alcohol use. In developed nations, recommended 'safe' limits for drinking alcohol are:
Men: less than 21 units per week (no more than 4 units in any one day)
Women: less than 14 units per week (no more than 3 units in any one day)
One unit of alcohol is one small measure (30 ml) of spirits (whisky / rum /brandy / vodka).
Use of any amount of tobacco or any other drug is considered harmful.
9) What are the signs of hidden drug use?
This occurs mainly in the initial phases of drug use, and also in extremely conservative societies.
Common signs include spending excessive time alone in one's room, bathroom, or outdoors; returning home with unsteady gait, redness of eyes, poor hygiene, decreased attendance & functioning at school / work, asking for more pocket money, borrowing money from others, stealing money or other items from home, making excuses regarding money and time spent.
10) What the treatments available for Drug Abuse?
Medications & counseling are the main modalities of treatment of Drug Abuse. Minor levels of drug use are dealt with counseling alone. For higher grades of drug use a combination of medications & counseling is used. Definite treatments are available for alcohol, smoking and opoids (heroin, injections, cough syrup, etc.).
11) Who provides treatment of Drug Abuse & where?
Psychiatrists are formally trained in Alcohol, Smoking, and Drug Addiction Treatment. Some General Duty Medical Officers (GDMOs) are also trained by the Govt. of India in Drug Abuse treatments. Treatment is available in Psychiatry Departments of Government Hospitals, NGOs & by psychiatrists in the private sector.
12) What is the role of rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation involves imparting vocational training so that a drug user can be meaningfully employed and remain off drugs in the society. It is required in a small number of drug users, especially those who have been using for several years & have lost the habit of working.
13) What is the role of involuntary admission?
Forced admission for Drug Abuse is not legally permissible. If a drug user additionally suffers from a psychiatric illness, then involuntary admission is possible if the same is certified & the patient is admitted under care of a psychiatrist.
14) What are the phases of treatment?
An initial intensive phase of medical treatment (detoxification) lasts 2-3 weeks. It provides relief of the distressing symptoms (withdrawal symptoms) occurring after stopping drug use. The second phase is called the maintenance phase and it usually of one year duration. It involves medications & counseling and aims at preventing the patient from reusing drugs.
15) What is the adequate duration of treatment?
For smoking & chewing tobacco, Sedative-Hypnotic use and inhalant use, a treatment period of 3-6 months is required.
For alcohol and opoids (heroin, injections, cough syrup, etc.), treatment of one year is usually required.
16) What is the role of family members / spouse / parents?
The role of family members should be to detect drug use, to encourage to initiate & maintain in treatment and to look out for signs of re-use (relapse). Family members need to understand that drug abuse is currently considered as a Medical Disorder.
17) What are the steps for prevention of Drug Abuse?
Increasing awareness of the common drugs of abuse, their medical, social & occupational costs, in youngsters, parents and teachers.
18) What are the legal aspects of Drug Abuse?
Alcohol and tobacco use is permissible in adults with specific age limits. Production, transport, possession and use of all other drugs is under the purview of NDPS Act of 1987 and punishable with imprisonment of 6 months &/or fine of Rs.10,000/-. Penalties increase with increase in amounts, repeat offences.
19) Is there some softer options for first time offenders?
If a person has been arrested for drug use, a provision in the NDPS Act can exempt him/her if he/she is the first time offender & agrees to undergo treatment of Drug Abuse at a government facility.

Be aware, refuse drugs the first time & every time, help is available and do not hesitate to ask for help.

With California's winter drought currently in the headlines, federal and state lawmakers are mulling ways to help increase water storage.
Jim Trull is SVID's district manager and he shared the news yesterday, Tuesday, with the irrigation district's board of directors.
A federal bill, Trull noted, would if approved generate $400 million per year to fund water storage projects.
In Olympia, Sen. Jim Honeyford of Sunnyside is also submitting legislation with an eye towards funding water supply projects. Trull said he has been asked to appear before a state legislative committee to testify on Honeyford's proposal.
In yet another positive sign, Trull told the SVID board that Gov. Jay Inslee has asked irrigation districts around the state to tally up the total amount they've spent on water conservation issues dating back to the 1970s.
The idea, says Trull, is that Inslee wants to take the data back to D.C. and show Congress the local dollars that have been spent on the issue.
Speaking of Washington D.C., just this morning Congressman Doc Hastings issued a statement on his support for water storage legislation during a hearing of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water and Power.
"I have long supported efforts to construct additional water storage in the Yakima River Basin," said Hastings, who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee. "It is essential to our communities, farmers and fish that we think of new and innovative ways to fund water storage in this time of limited federal budgets."
Hastings is proposing a bill, HR 3981, that would allow irrigation districts to voluntarily prepay contracts with the federal government. The funding generated by these payments would be placed in an account to fund either the construction of new water storage projects or the expansion of current water storage reservoirs.
A second proposal Hastings submitted would authorize the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to implement a surface storage enhancement program to fund new or expanded water storage construction for purposes including increased municipal supply, agricultural irrigation and to reduce impacts to fish and wildlife.
An example of the need for more storage was highlighted indirectly earlier during the SVID board meeting.
Dave Bos, SVID's assistant manager responsible for operations, noted that while storage is currently just above normal for this type of year, the snowpack is only at 52 percent of average for this time of year.
Further, Bos said precipitation is only 67 percent of average for this time of year.
The SVID and the Sunnyside Division Board of Control's next monthly board meeting will be Monday, March 3, at 1:30 p.m. at the SVID office.
The Roza-Sunnyside Board of Joint Control is scheduled to meet Tuesday, March 18.
