Johns Hopkins Grant Project Looks at Small Cell Lung Cancer Treatment Resistances
Credit: Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center received a $3.1 million grant to study the resistance of limited stage small cell lung cancer to a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (chemoradiation).
The National Institutes of Health awarded the grant to researchers from The Johns Hopkins University, co-led by Luigi Marchionni, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of oncology, Christine Hann, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of oncology, and Phuoc Tran, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of radiation oncology and molecular radiation sciences. The team includes Andrew Ewald, Ph.D., professor of cell biology, Kathleen Gabrielson, D.V.M, Ph.D., associate professor of molecular and comparative pathobiology, and John Wong, Ph.D., director of the Division of Medical Physics in the Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences.
The project, titled "Bioinformatic-Chemical Approach to Credential Molecular Targets to Combat Rapid Chemo-Radiation Resistance in SCLC," will run for five years.
In the grant proposal that was awarded, the researchers said their work would have a direct impact on the causes and possible treatment for chemoradiation resistance in small cell lung cancer. They also hope to gain a broader understanding of chemoradiation resistance in other cancers and find new ways to target treatment resistance.
Small cell lung cancer is a fast-growing cancer that spreads to other areas of the body much more quickly than other types of lung cancer. Surgery is less frequently used for this type of lung cancer.
Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for small cell lung cancer, as these medicines circulate throughout the body killing lung cancer cells that may have spread outside the lung. Radiation therapy is frequently used in combination with chemotherapy when the tumor is confined to the lung and other areas inside the chest.
Most patients respond to initial treatment, but the return of the disease due to chemoradiation resistance is almost universal.

Q: jquery-ui tooltip() function doesn't get recognized I'm getting the following errors when trying to use jquery-ui tooltip() in my php page.

The function fillResult(data) is just a function that fills the var content with the html content which will be shown in the page. This page contains a tag with "sfp" class which I want to see a tooltip on it.
What am I doing wrong? I just can't figure out

A: try adding the bootstrap library and css

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

A: I solved it upgrading all the jquery and jquery-ui files to the latest versions and inserting bootstrap.js and tether.js to make the tooltip() work.

This is my third time photographing the Blahna Family. We worked together in 2011 and in 2012 to capture family photos up at their cabin in Crosslake, MN.
This year, we began in the Crosslake Town Square for their session, and then headed back to pick up the dog and finish at the cabin.
I know I always say this, but it is really fun for me to watch the kids grow and change each year. The girls are in kindergarten this year, and Dawson is already well into elementary school. They are maturing right before my eyes: having a longer attention span for photos, understanding their photo-bribes better, and knowing pop culture too - see the duck face photo? Hilarious!


Snow Retention Systems (Snow Guards) are devices that are attached to the roof structure in order to provide uniform retention and control the snow from avalanching in large sheets. They need to be applied in sufficient quantity according to a prescribed pattern in order to be effective.
Why do you need snow retention systems on your roof?
Don't put yourself at risk! Retention Systems help prevent damage to objects below a sloped roof surface including, pedestrian areas, parked &moving vehicles, expensive landscaping, gutters & plumbing vents, skylights & atriums, adjacent and lower roofs. Snow Guards help to avoid costly insurance claims due to avalanching snow and ice. They also help to prevent ice damming at roof's edge and damage to gutters.
It is extremely important to install a proper and sizable quantity of guards in order for the retention system to be effective. Berger Brothers will provide a custom snow guard layout recommendation. Contact 800-523-8852 for your custom layout. Patterns provided by Berger are only recommendations and actual snow guard patterns should be approved by a licensed architect.


I've been making 2-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream without an ice cream maker since the boys were little. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to drag my ice cream maker out of the cabinet. Other times I'm too impatient to wait 40 minutes for the ice cream to churn. This recipe solves both of those issues.
Making ice cream in the food processor is easy peasy! Especially since I keep this multi-tasking appliance out on the counter, ready to go at all times. For this recipe, I simply toss in both the ingredients, press a button, and moments later have incredible soft serve ice cream. If you've been wondering how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker this easy summer dessert recipe is for you!
2-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream is one of my boys' favorites and they ask for this "instant soft serve" ice cream all summer long. I love that the boys are eating something simple and healthy that is purely fruit sweetened. Have you seen the junk teenagers eat? It's appalling.
I keep frozen bananas in my freezer for my family so that I can whip up this instant ice cream at a moment's notice. The boys love snacking on frozen bananas during the summer and also use them when they make smoothies. My younger son, now 17 and well over 6 feet tall, especially loves whipping up smoothies with the vanilla protein powder that Mark Sisson sent us!
You make it so easy to eat healthy.
Frozen bananas, or bananas of any sort, are not at the top of my list right now. Why? Because I'm following a low-carb high-fat (LCHF) diet. If you're in need of Ketogenic Recipes you've come to the right place. I have an entire Keto Diet Recipes page to take care of all of your low-carb desires! Keto Brownies and Keto Bread are all-time favorites that get rave reviews from my low-carb fans!
I've been chatting with many of you about LCHF diets versus the Paleo Diet over on Instagram. If you're not into social media, leave a comment here and let me know which type of eating plan you prefer! Finally, for those of you that can't have the dairy in this recipe, here's a link to my Dairy-Free Diet Recipes page.
Is Chocolate Allowed on the Ketogenic Diet?
Attn: Nicole…asking about subbing coconut milk for the cream. There are recipes out there for the combo of frozen bananas n coconut milk. N also variations of flavors too.
Thanks for the amazing website. I am a practitioner and direct all my patients to it. Could you sub with canned coconut milk instead of the cream?
Rachel, thanks for letting me know that this is amazing!
We went on the South Beach Diet. Had great results. Not sure how the Keto diet compares. I do like to have some fat in my diet, as we know low fat or nonfat is not the best choice (a lot of sugar). I still have not incorporated a lot fruit in my diet. I try to watch the glycemic index and choice those on the lower end. At one time, a few years ago my blood test indicated I was pre-diebetic. I think it was because I was eating a high carb diet. Switched it up and no more bad blood tests!
My niece gave me your website for gluten free desserts.
Thanks Lisa! It's so nice to meet you here. I have many Low-Carb Recipes that I think you'll enjoy!
Hi..I am your typical American middle age male..belly and all, and addicted to wings, pizza, cake, chips etc.
Recently got servere excezma all over body..so. Lifestyle changes needed..some how came across your site, i.e. and now have hope to be healthier, and Allie recipes you present are amazing.
You can Harold health and eat your cake too! Blessings from the heartland.
Approximately how many bananas make up 10 ounces?
As you've been following a keto diet recently will this be more of a permanent shift and reflect in new recipes for the blog? I've been paleo for a while and experimenting with some keto recipes. Will you be blogging about the health changes you've noticed since switching to more of a keto way of eating?


Amber Dvorak and Sanayika Shields each posted double-doubles and top seed Drury rolled into the DII Midwest Regional finals with a 78-58 victory against fifth-seed Quincy in the semifinals Sunday afternoon at the O'Reilly Family Event Center.
Dvorak had 19 points and 12 rebounds and Shields added 14 points and 13 rebounds as the Lady Panthers held a commanding 49-29 final advantage on the boards against the Hawks, who had defeated Drury 82-79 in Quincy on Jan. 30.
As a result, the Lady Panthers moved to 26-3 and will take on sixth-seed Wayne State in Monday's 7 p.m. title game at The O', where Drury has gone 14-1 this season and won eight in a row. Wayne State (23-7) knocked off No. 2 seed Lewis 87-80 in Sunday's other semifinal.
It will be Drury's sixth appearance in an DII regional final, joining those in 2003, '04, '06, '07 and '10, and is the first for the Lady Panthers in Springfield since 2006.
The Drury-Wayne State winner will advance to the DII Elite Eight, which will be played March 25-26 and 28 in Erie, Pa.
The Lady Panthers and first-year coach Steve Huber admitted Sunday they came into the contest with a bit of a chip on their shoulder at the chance to avenge the earlier loss at Quincy, when Drury led by seven points with 2:46 to play but let it slip away.
"There was definitely a revenge factor," Shields said. "We lost a close game at their place, and coming in, we always want to protect our house. So there was a chip on our shoulder today."
There was no chance for late-lead slippage in this one, as the Lady Panthers broke open a tight game (down 15-14 at the midway point of the first half) by outscoring the Lady Hawks 25-10 during the final 10 minutes of the half for a 40-24 lead at the break.
Quincy chipped away at the deficit early in the second half, cutting it to 11 on a couple of occasions around the 10-minute mark, but Drury pushed it back out to 18 (66-48) on a 3-pointer by Annie Armstrong with 6:13 to go and the Lady Panthers were never threatened from there.
Bethanie Funderburk added 15 points and seven rebounds and Armstrong added 14 points for the Lady Panthers, ranked sixth in the latest WBCA/USA TODAY Top 25 Poll. They combined had just two turnovers (one each) in 78 minutes of playing time.
But one of the biggest storylines came from junior forward Shelby White, a defensive stopper who put the clamps on Quincy's All-GLVC junior guard Lucy Cramsey. After delivering 23 points and 17 rebounds in Friday's win against No. 4 seed Northern Michigan, Cramsey managed just seven points (on 3-of-8 shooting) while being draped by White.
"I just tried to d-up on her and make her work twice as hard," White said.
"Cramsey had an unbelievable night [Friday vs. Northern Michigan], and Shelby just took on the responsibility and really played up to her potential," Huber said. "This was a total team effort [Sunday] with some individuals who really did some nice things."
Dvorak, with one blocked shot, pushed her season total to 55, tying the DU single-season mark set in 2004-05 by Eafton Hill. The double-double was Dvorak's fourth of the season -- and second in a row -- and was the third this season by Shields, who posted her sixth double-figures rebounding effort of the year.
The Lady Panthers made 32 of 60 shots (53 percent) while limiting the Lady Hawks to 32 percent (20 of 62).
Hannah Weedman had 12 points and eight rebounds to lead Quincy, which finished 23-7.
"It was a tough game for us," Quincy coach Jeni Garber said. "Drury is an excellent team, and on their home court with the great fans they have ... but we were excited for the game. We just had a bad stretch there in the first half where we didn't rebound well and gave them some easy buckets and they went on a good run, and our shots just weren't falling today. That's a tough way to go out.
"They did a good job on Cramsey. They stayed tight on her and didn't really give her any open looks. She had to work for the shots she got, and they really kind of took her out on that and made it tough for her."
Drury played without senior forward Kylie Williamson, who was cleared to play but was held out as a precautionary measure after suffering an ankle injury in Friday's win against Truman State.

Venus Verticordia ("the changer of hearts") was an epithet of the Roman goddess Venus, alluding to the goddess' ability to change hearts from lust to chastity.

In the year 114 BC, three Vestal Virgins were condemned to death for transgressing with Roman knights the rigid law against sexual intercourse. To atone for their misdeeds, a shrine was dedicated to Venus Verticordia in the hope that she would turn the hearts of women and girls against licentiousness and towards chastity.  Hence her name Verticordia, which means 'turner of hearts'. Under this title she was especially worshipped by married women, and on 1 April the Veneralia festival was celebrated in her honor.

According to Valerius Maximus, a Roman woman named Sulpicia was chosen by the vote of ten, drawn by lot from a pool of one hundred who had been chosen by the women of Rome as a body to dedicate a statue of Venus Verticordia. Sulpicia was deemed the chastest woman in Rome, and the method of selection was prescribed by the Sibylline Books.

Two foundation legends provided a frame of references for the perception of the Cult of Venus Verticordia in ancient times. Sometime in the late third century BCE, a statue was dedicated to Venus Verticordia by the chastest matron in Rome, in this case Sulpicia, daughter of Servius Sulpicius and wife of Fulvius Flaccus. The Sibylline Books had prescribed the dedication as a cure for the prevailing licentiousness of women. The hope was that matrons and unmarried girls would more readily turn from licentiousness to chastity. The second legend was connected with the dedication of a temple to Venus Verticordia in 114 BC. A Roman knight and his virgin daughter were returning to Apulia from the Roman games when the girl was struck by lightning and killed. Her tunic was pulled up to her waist, her tongue protruded and the trappings of her horse were scattered around her.

This dreadful prodigy was interpreted as meaning that the three Vestal Virgins had been guilty of unchaste conduct, in which many members of the equestrian class were implicated. All the offenders, both male and female, were duly punished and a temple was then built to Venus Verticordia. According to both Ovid and Valerius Maximus, the temple and statue that respectively figured in each story were offered to the goddess in the hope that the maiden would correct the wanton ways of women and make them chaste. This, said Ovid, was the explanation of the cult title itself: "Verticordia, Changer of Hearts."

Each legend dealt with a separate aspect of the cult, the dedication of the statue and the dedication of the temple; each also dealt with the areas of controlling female sexual morality which had different implications for the collective welfare of the Roman State. There was much more at stake in the virginity of a Vestal Virgin that in the pudicitia of a matrona. But the two stories are none the less complementary rather than competing perceptions of the cult. They are both characterized by an extraordinary level of exaggeration: hyperbole is a common feature of both stories. Consider for example the concept of the chastest matron. One is either chaste or unchaste. The Vestals ruled and accounted for all the monies of Rome and thus these women had to undergo the tightest of control of all women in Rome.

Okay, so I'm having a mini panic attack, someone set me straight please!
I'm finding info that states that the iPhone will only be sold with a 2 year contract with Cingular. ( Reference Link Here. ) I've been a Cingular customer for years, but my current contract doesn't end until January (I bought a new phone last year and signed a contract, now I wish I could go back in time!). The article states that you're SOL if you are an existing Cingular customer, but are still under contract. I'm willing to pay full price for the iPhone! I'll pay an extra 200 bucks for it when it comes out if I have too, because that's how it usually works, phones with a 2 year contract are just cheaper, and you can still buy the phone without the contract.
I really don't want to believe the article cause I just don't know how it would all work, with the iPhone being available in Apple stores and on Apple.com, not just Cingular stores.
Okay, now I'm rambling. Hopefully someone can decipher my scrambled speech and please please please tell me I'm wrong!
I would think that you could just buy it and switch the sim card and pay for service. That's what I've always done with Cingular when I wanted a new phone. Luckily my contract ends in June so I don't have to worry about that, but it seems as though it would be fine to do what you described.
cingular reps get goodies for signing up new contracts. tell them you will sign a new two year contract and you'll be fine. Or you can add accessories to your purchase and make a deal. it works everytime, and i was also told this by a rep. my contract isn't up till august, but the rep told me to tell them, "ill sign a contract early or buy a bunch of extra crap. ill probably just do the early contract.
Decided to make sure, and I think I have a definite answer.
I logged on to the Cingular website and did 'livechat' with 2 of their agents. Both of them separately told me that you can always pay the retail price for a device and not have to sign a contract, though they could not tell me what that price was.
But I don't care how much it is, I'm just so so so happy that I can get one in June! YAY. Thank you so much everyone. This website/forum is the best I've ever found on the iPhone!
im assuming the price is the same for everyone. AT&T already said, no discounts for the two year contracts. im glad you get to get it in june.
I was just informed by a Cingular/AT&T rep that current customers can purchase the iPhone anytime at the regular $499/$599 price points without a contract extension if you are not eligible for an upgrade. If you are, then you could upgrade to the iPhone at a discounted price. Also she claims that the iPhone will be released the second week of June which is consistent with the rumored June 11th and June 15th launch dates.
What i wonder is what the cost will be in order to access all of the iPhone's features. By the time I pay for two phones, with full functionality, will I be able to afford a two-year contract?
im keeping my current contract. i have enough wifi spots around here to get what i want online. as far as two phones, im just hoping at least one of the 3 cingulars stores in this city has my phone in stock. what other stuff are you getting for it, that will get you "full functionality".
Well, now I only use my phone for phone calls. No data plans, no text messaging , no anything else. So, I wonder what I'll have to pay for in order to be able to send and receive email, browse the web, text msg, send photos and the like.
To use all the features you'll want to have a data plan. This guy has widgets that will be connected to MEdiaNet all the time. Data will be transferring over Cingular's network anytime you're not in a Wifi area. Without a data plan, Cingular is going to charge you $.01/Kb of data tranferred. That can add up to the amount of a data plan if you check email just four or five times.
Yeah, you will definitely want a data plan if you are fully going to utilize the features of the iPhone. There are likely to be different variations of data plans for the phone, so you could always buy the cheaper one if you want to only use those features occasionally.
As for the main topic of this post, I would guess that the phone is definitely available without the two year contract. Of course, they will try to get you to purchase the contract and you would likely get a discount. But it seems that you don't really care about money.
I know the smartest thing would also be the hardest thing to do in this situation. Your best option would be to wait until your contract expires in January, as v.1.1 will likely be out around the holiday season (don't hold me on this ). I know, though, that for the same reason you are on an iPhone forum with the rest of us, you wouldn't have second thoughts about grabbing an iPhone at first sight.
This would be a bad move on cingular and Apples part if they do not cell to cingular customers. Cingular is the Most popular cell provider in the us. *I believe They will be missing out on a HUGE demographic.
PS. TopicCreator welcome to everything iPhone.
don't worry everyone. They are going to sell it for the same price for current Cingular customers.
Thanks for the info, ebrunn. This really helped to clear things up. After all, that's what this site is for, keeping up to date on this obsession of ours.
Just a month to go guys, I just keep waiting for an official release date.
I COMPLETELY agree with the waiting until January thing.. so all the bugs are worked out and I could get it for cheaper and all... I just... can't. Lol. I visit this site and others all day long and in my free time it's all I think about... the responsible part of me says wait... but I just can't.
And I'll likely be going into debt for this thing. I paid off every debt I had 6 months ago, and have kept it that way, But I will most likely be putting this purchase on my credit card, lol.
Thanks for the welcome. Like I said, this site has the most information that I've found so far. I love it!
Tom, what do you hear as to which companies will service the iPhone? I have heard several names so far, but not my carrier, Sprint. Any idea if they plan to join, and if so, when? Thanks.
Its a Cingular/AT&T exclusive for the foreseeable future. And since it is a GSM phone, even if Apple distributes the iPhone through other service carriers, I doubt it is going to Sprint.
Thanks for your input. Bummer about the network type limitation. I had not heard of this. Perhaps by the time they are less pricy they'll make a PCS version.
Yeah, I can't wait either. Hey, that's the reason we are on this site, we are temporarily obsessed with this phone. What has this world become?

Sales of electric cars Tesla collapsed in China by 98 percent
Due to severe restrictions in China caused by another outbreak of coronavirus, many automakers were forced to stop their production. Tesla, which has a Gigafactory located in Shanghai, is no exception. The company returned to work on April 19 after a 22-day downtime. Over the past month, the American brand has produced about one and a half thousand electric cars, which is 98 percent less than the March result.
Before the suspension of capacity, Shanghai Gigafactory produced 65,800 electric vehicles in March. After 22 days of downtime, Tesla specialists planned to assemble up to 2,600 electric cars per day, but now the company plans to reach at least 200 models per day. The unstable situation is connected with the shortage of components that the car factory cannot receive due to another lockdown in Shanghai. At the same time, it is possible that coronavirus restrictions will be extended in the region until the end of May.
In addition to Tesla, coronavirus restrictions have affected the entire Chinese automotive market. According to experts, over the past April, car sales in the country decreased from 36 to 48 percent compared to March. At the same time, experts emphasize that despite all the difficulties with production, the popularity of battery models in China continues to grow.
In mid-April, Nissan stopped several car factories in China. As in the case of Tesla, the conservation of capacity was due to a lack of components, which was provoked by covid restrictions in Shanghai.

#YeahTHATAgenda: Greenville Named Top 10 Emerging Market, Pamela Evette, Men of Color Summit, Solar Powered Orangeburg, The Truth About Corn Syrup in Beer
Feb 05, 2019 09:20AM ● By Chris Haire
Greenville Named One of the 10 Emerging Industrial Markets to Watch in 2019: Thanks to the automotive industry, advanced manufacturing, and the rapidly growing logistics sector, the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson market is one of Colliers International's 10 Emerging Industrial Markets in 2019.
While auto and advanced manufacturing have long been Upstate standbys, the logistics industry is in Colliers spotlight, with the commercial real estate company proclaiming, "Distribution companies are moving into the region in droves and setting up regional hubs to service a growing population."
The move is led by the market's position on the I-85 corridor, as well as its connection to the Port of Charleston, thanks to the Inland Port of Greer.
Right now, the report notes, 31 million people call the 250 mile radius around the GSA market home, while 1.8 million live within 50 miles of the center. The total market figure is set to reach 34 million by 2023, just four years from now.
Thanks to the logistics and manufacturing sectors, "More than 5.6 million square feet was absorbed in 2018, the second largest annual total in the past decade," Colliers notes, adding, "Since 2014, there have been more than 21 million square feet of occupancy gains, equal to 10% of the existing inventory."
Meanwhile. 6.9 million square feet of industrial space is currently under construction, the report notes, the second highest figure ever.
Although asking rental rates are expected to rise over the next few years, Colliers says, they will "remain much lower than the national average for the foreseeable future."
Also making the 10 Emerging Industrial list: Las Vegas, Minneapolis, the I-4 Corridor in Florida, Seattle-Puget Sound, and Savannah, Ga.

Some of the things you learn when you are growing up—to be demure, to be "feminine," to laugh it off or hide in shame when some creep subjects you to sexual harassment, or worse—are deadly serious. But there are other, less weighty instructions, rules that can nevertheless weigh heavily on a young girl's heart.
Face it, all you glasses wearers—from the time you failed that first eye exam, you were told that your spectacles, the vital accessory that lets you see, literally, what is going on around you, might be cute and frisky under certain sporty circumstances, but will never be considered really, truly attractive. When you grow up and are invited to fabulous galas where you don trillion-dollar gowns (yes, black this season!) and drape yourself with serious jewelry from neck to wrist and especially ears, you'd best leave those glasses in the glove compartment.
Until now. More and more, incredible women—Christina Hendricks! Meryl Streep! Annette Bening!—have been wearing their glasses on red carpets and at podiums, and who would dare suggest that these ladies are not spectacular in their spectacles? And then of course there was Oprah last night, bringing the audience to its feet and causing pulses all over the nation to race, transfixing viewers with the wisdom of her words, leaving us rapt as we gazed at her subtle cat-eye frames happily ensconced next to her take-no-prisoners chandeliers.
It could be argued that the combination of bold eyewear and serious ice is the perfect metaphor for this amazing moment—the diamonds say we can look as gorgeous as we damn well please, while the glasses shout that, yes, at last, our eyes are wide open.


Keene State College students and faculty who work at the WKNH radio station in the Student Center are active and work hard every day to spread awareness of the radio station itself, and work to inform students of Keene about everyday student life.
The radio station at Keene State is not as well known as they would like to be, and encourage students to listen in on what is next.
Senior Co-general Manager of WKNH Peter Dubois found his place at the radio station during his freshman year at the student involvement fair. He works 10 hours a week scheduling meetings with the eboard, scheduling events and in general just talking on the radio.
About three years ago, the radio station installed a large window on the outside wall facing the lobby of the student center in hopes of exposing the radio station more to the student body here at Keene State.
Their next step in improving the radio station is installing custom tables inside the booth to make their space in the station better to work with and be more visually pleasing.
Member of the radio station Tyler DaRosa does his podcasts on sports on Friday mornings.
Since the radio station is rather hidden on the third floor of the Student Center, it is hard for students at Keene State to be aware of and notice what goes on in the radio station. Some might not even know that Keene State has one at all.
A member of the radio station said that having the window "…gives the radio an opportunity for people who don't know about the radio to see a glimpse of what goes on." The radio station has previously done a lot of work to upgrade, and still has much more to come.
Having the window in the radio station is beneficial in a couple different ways.
It not only makes the members of the radio station feel more open in physical space, but it also gives Keene State students who are not members of the radio station the chance to have a quick inside look on what goes on in the radio station.
Members of the radio station hope that by having the window there, students of Keene State will be more aware of what goes on in the radio station and maybe even join their team.

Discussion in 'iPhone' started by karlth, Aug 24, 2011.
You are at a funeral and have to silence your iPhone.
How can you do that without turning off the phone?
Well first you have to flip it to Mute which partly mutes the phone - some applications simply don't listen to the mute switch also alarms will sound. So what you'll also have to do is to open an application, as othewise you'd be adjusting the ringer volume which is already muted, and finally then lower the volume using the side buttons.
Why doesn't the Mute switch actually Mute the phone?
I've never come across any application that goes off when the mute switch is slipped to silent unless the user prompts the application to play a sound. Like a game. That's when you'll have to mute it entirely.
I like that alarms go off, because I use it for my alarm in the morning.
Through the night, I dont want to hear texts and emails coming in.
Alarms will still play when in mute, I like that feature as I use that at work for timers I need. I haven't run across any other apps that will though.
You wouldn't want an alarm, you forgot, to go off during a funeral. Many people use alarms as reminders.
Applications that ignore the mute button are not only games. Runkeeper, Jamie Oliver cooking, etc.
Which ever way you turn it, it is just silly that a mute button only mutes some applications.
Here's an idea: turn off notifications for those applications.
These aren't notifications. Most of them don't even have notifications.
You're at a funeral. Who gives a ***** about whether or not an application can or cannot go off after the phone is muted?
Have some respect for a few moments in your life and just turn the stupid piece of plastic off. Trust me, you won't die if its turned off.
How would Audio be playing through the speakers unless you're directly interacting with it? Have some respect for the dead, man. Just turn it off.
Perhaps at a funeral you should be paying attention to the service and have the iPhone OFF, or at least those applications shut down. If you feel you must open "Runkeeper, Jamie Oliver cooking, etc." you can hold the volume button all the way down.
OBTW, who the h*** is thinking about menu planning at a funeral? Unless it it "How To Serve Man."
TextFree is one app that sounds despite the mute switch but I'm sure there have to be others.
It might be in your bed with your wife sleeping. It might be in a bus. It might be during a boring speech.
A mute button that only mutes most of the time is silly.
this is probably my favourite feature of the iPhone... i like that i can mute my iPhone from calls/texts/emails for the night, yet have the alarm wake me up when i need to be up for work.
An entire thread about a button on a phone that works as its designed to is also "silly".
"In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn't ring or play alerts and other sound effects."
Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as iPod, and many games still play sounds through the built-in speaker when iPhone is in silent mode.
So not really silent. Bad design.
I understand what you mean. I had my alarm set thinking it would just vibrate like my b,ackberry did. No it rang at full volume as I was checking customers out in line. I will never use this as an alarm for when I get off again.
I've also accidentally opened apps in e middle of lectures that played noise upon opening. When I want my phone silent I want everything silent, even my alarms. My phone vibrating for minutes on e d on my wooden side table is enough to wake me.
- "Sound" volume level, which applies to music, game sounds, etc.
If no music is playing, the volume rocker controls the "Ring" volume level. The mute switch turns this on or off.
This would be why you still hear sounds even though the phone is muted—there are two independent volume levels to monitor. Hope that helps!
The dumb phone I have now has two mutes. an Alarm Only and a Silence All. There should be a preference or something, but when you mute something you expect it to be completely silent.
Look OP, you're telling the wrong people.
Silly mute button, silly topic.
And in those situations, why would you use a phone(except on a bus)? If its on your bed with your wife, you should either be sleeping or reading or etc, if you want to play a game, why do you have to mute? Let your wife come and join if its possible. In a boring speech, dont play games, try paying attention and maybe some of the boring speeches could actually help you in your work.
And what books am I allowed to read?

With two stores open for business and a third in development, Maria and Ike Carabases are expanding alongside the leading fresh-tossed salad brand.
When Maria Carabases first discovered Saladworks, it was as a hungry consumer. She stopped by one of the brand's franchise locations for lunch because it was convenient—there was a store in the mall where she worked. From that point on, Saladworks became her go-to spot for a bite to eat. But it wasn't until she reached a point in her career where she wanted to be able to create her own schedule that Carabases considered taking her passion for Saladworks to the next level.
After researching the brand's franchise model and talking to members of its corporate team, Carabases and her husband Ike opened up their first Saladworks franchise in 2005. They've been growing with the brand ever since—the husband and wife duo currently have two successful stores operating in Delran and Collingswood, New Jersey, with another location expected to open its doors for business next spring in Cinnaminson.
Saladworks has been proactive about positioning itself as a leader in the increasingly popular healthy segment of the restaurant industry. Under the leadership of new CEO Patrick Sugrue, the brand rolled out a new menu with even more salads, toppings and soups in order to attract new customers. Saladworks has also unveiled a new store design that features multiple tech savvy upgrades like free WiFi and power stations for customers to charge their different devices.
That growth potential is evident for the Carabases'— traffic at their existing locations is already picking up speed. And with 97 locations in 14 different states, there are multiple opportunities for entrepreneurs to bring Saladworks' proven system to the communities across the country that they call home.

Spiritual growth at Church at the Springs
Church purchases 67 acres to accommodate burgeoning congregation
Stephanie Morris Star-Banner
OCALA - When Ron and Teddi Sylvia started Church at the Springs in 1994 with 21 people, they had no idea that one day they would be leading a church of more than 3,000, and purchasing 67 acres of land to build new facilities.
"Spiritually, this is probably the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me," Teddi Sylvia said.
The church, which is based in a former grocery store, recently closed on a $3 million parcel of land on Baseline Road, just south of Maricamp Road.
Plans are under way for phase one of a building project that will include a new sanctuary and accommodations for the church's largest ministry: the children's and youth ministry.
"We're working with ministries to project growth five or 10 years out," said Mike Ferguson, Church at the Spring's executive pastor. "Our hope is to break ground the first part of 2008."
The church typically holds two Saturday evening services and three Sunday morning services to accommodate the thousands who come through the doors each weekend.
On May 27, the church, known for its ultra-contemporary style of worship, held a baptism service on the new land, and like most everything else at Church at the Springs, it was anything but traditional.
On H20 Day, as it was called, almost 100 people were baptized in a pool that was brought in and set up on the site. There were inflatables for kids to play on, and the day was an afternoon for family fun.
Wade Beamon was one of the people baptized on H20 Day. After doing jail time for drugs, he said attending Church at the Springs has been an instrumental part of his recovery process.
"The atmosphere is not that of preaching, but of teaching," Beamon said. "They welcome you to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and not focus on just having a religion."
Ron Sylvia said that about 60 percent of church members had no church background before they joined. He said their vision for the church is to reach out to the more than 200,000 unchurched people in Marion County.
"We exist to be relevant," the lead pastor said, "and relevance is a moving target."
But Sylvia is quick to express that it's the method that changes and not the message.
Gene Granada joined Church at the Springs six years ago and said the church has become like a family to her.
"Several of my neighbors go to the church, and I really enjoy our small groups. We call it our little family," she said.
Granada, who is 83, said she loves the contemporary style of worship and sermon presentation.
"He speaks in terms of the way I'm living now and what I understand," she said.
"I honestly had no idea what I was doing when we started. I still don't know," Sylvia said. "My wife and I just knew that God called us to start the Springs, and what we've watched in the past 12 years has been awesome."
Church at the Springs is located at 3233 S.E. Maricamp Road. To learn about the many programs offered, call 624-0545 or visit Web site www.thesprings.org.


New York's Superintendent of Insurance Gregory V. Serio announced that the State Insurance Department has licensed Sammarnick Insurance Corporation, a new vehicle that will insure the risks of Viacom Inc., as a captive insurance company idomiciled in New York.
The bulletin noted that Viacom, the media giant that controls such household names as CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1, BET, Paramount Pictures, Viacom Outdoor, Infinity Broadcasting, UPN, TNN, TV Land, CMT: Country Music Television, Comedy Central, Showtime, Blockbuster, Simon & Schuster and others, is the tenth corporation to take advantage of legislation signed into law in August 1997 by Governor George E. Pataki that permits captives to become licensed in New York.
"By allowing corporations such as Viacom to set up their insurance programs here, we are addressing the critical needs of business in New York, namely, cutting costs for corporations, who in the past had to maintain separate staff and offices in other jurisdictions. This is a win for New York State as well as our business community," Serio pointed out.
"All information necessary to become licensed as a captive is available by calling the Department's captive group toll-free at 1-866-NYSCAPTives or by visiting its Web site at www.nycaptives.com," the bulletin concluded.


The project development is based on a series of portraits whose background is dyed with the exact Pantone® tone extracted from a sample of 11×11 pixels of the portrayed´s face. The project's objective is to record and catalog all possible human skin tones.
Humanæ it's a pursuit for highlighting our subtle-continuous of our tones that make more equality than difference… our true colors, rather than the untrue Red and Yellow, Black and White. It is a kind of game for subverting our codes. The audience is free to read into it. The ultimate goal is to provoke and bring currently using internet as a discussion platform on ethnic identity, creating images that lead us to match us independent from factors such as nationality, origin, economic status, age or aesthetic standards.

"Penique productions was born in Barcelona in 2007. It is a collective of artists of different disciplines focused on a common project which is based on the idea of making ephemeral installations.
The starting point of each project is the selection of a location, which will be the place where to build a unique and customized piece. An inflatable balloon that expands and invades the space completely by itself.
The balloon grows until it fills the whole space and becomes the part of the existing architecture. The air, acting like the structure, presses against the plastic that faces the outline of the solid limiting and shaping the final form. Conquered by the inflatable, the place is transformed through the new texture, light and monochrome color.
Penique productions appropriates the original site that loses its routine to become part of the work getting a new identity. The balloon acts as a border and frames a new space. The container is also the content blurring the idea of the art object.
Beginning her career as a painter Janet Echelman started working with fishing nets after a shipment of paints was lost in transit during an artist residency in India. Today teams of designers and fabricators work with her as she reshapes urban airspace with monumental, fluidly moving sculpture that responds to environmental forces including wind, water, and sunlight. made out of woven and colored netting Echelman creates massive installations that look like neon colored jelly fish or spiderwebs flowing effortlessly through the sky.

Major Force West Productions - 93-97 (1999)
By SentinelNo comments
Genre: Acid Jazz, Trip-Hop
Style: Instrumental
© 1999 Mo Wax
AllMusic Review by Joshua Glazer
The contribution of Asian culture to hip-hop has typically been limited to the whimsical imagery of shoguns and ninjas by American groups such as Wu-Tang Clan. Born in Japan and residing in London, Major Force pays no heed to these popular chop-suey fantasies, approaching the very concept of hip-hop with a pan-global attitude that is far more mindful than that of their American counterparts. Attached to the U.K. trip-hop label Mo' Wax, Major Force West: 1993-1997 collects much of Major Force's recorded output. What one finds is a steady flow of naturally flavored beats and breaks, augmented with a fascinating assortment of instrumentation culled from their native land (sitars on "India 2000"). But what makes Major Force truly intriguing is the cultural feedback loops they create. "Mugen in the Morning" takes distinctly American Hammond organ riffs and filters them through an Asian lens before laying them into a hip-hop forum, while "Sonic Scale for Percussion No. 12" sounds like an assault from early-'80s video games played on home consoles built in Japan. Sadly, this sort of hip-hop (there is no rapping on any songs) usually plays better in foreign countries where listeners don't have to struggle with concepts of authenticity, or "keepin' it real." Your average American hip-hop fan probably wouldn't get it. But for those who appreciate the international web that music can create, Major Force is a potent example of one culture distilling the other, while still maintaining the true flavor.

This level of our project is "Proof of Concept." Moving forward, we would develop the following aspects:
Alternative Components
The Audio Hacker shield has caused a lot of problems, which may have been avoided if we had obtained the individual components needed, as specified from the various Instructables projects we utilized. We also would have liked to use an external display monitor, rather than the Serial Monitor. By doing so, the device can be used without a computer, and less noise would be present since it would be powered with a battery.
Improve Input
The input device was originally an electret condenser microphone. The CMA-4544PF-W microphone had difficulty picking up a signal every time a new sound was heard. The replacement was a Spy Listener microphone, which has the ability to connect directly to the Audio Hacker's input audio port. However, there was a lot of noise which we had trouble filtering out. This is in the plan for future development, so that the user can play sounds which will be heard, and the device will work more correctly.
Another input option is to plug in an instrument directly to the Audio Hacker. In this case, an electric guitar would be used. This also has a lot of noise. This noise is coming from the connection to the computer. The Audio Hacker can hear when the touch pad is being used to scroll, and each time a line is output on the Serial Monitor.
The color aspect of the project could not be implemented at this time due to budget constraints. If we had access to a display monitor, we would be able to set the background color of the screen to associate it with a sound. It would also have a much better user interface. A single screen would have a colored background, the name of the color/hexcode, the name of the sound played, the finger placement chart for the sound played, and any other information which may be helpful. We would have color-picked the hexcodes from the Color Chord Wheel below.
Because this project focuses on a guitar, we want to incorporate chords. This is out of scope for now because of the complexity of guitars. A single chord is made up of a series of strings, which could be found using a chord chart. But there is a lot of variation as to how a chord is played. It could be strummed quickly or slowly, up-strummed, palm-muted, etc. We could focus on one particular way of strumming, but we will need to explore music theory more in-depth.
One way of doing so is by calculating the "attack" and "resonance" of the chord into a single frequency (attempted through Wolfram Alpha: example with G chord). If calculations don't work out, we could input the sound of a chord to a program such as Adobe Audition, and open the frequency analyzer to find the frequencies needed.
Another possibility may be to create an array of the frequencies of the strings being played for the chord, and having the device listen for 6 strings through If Else statements. If less than 6 strings are heard, it could not be a G chord since 6 strings make up a G chord. (6 strings heard could possibly be a G or Em, 5 strings could possibly be an Am or C, 4 strings could possibly be a D, etc.) This could be based off of chord charts like the one below.
Obviously, the ultimate goal would be for this device to be compatible will all instruments. It would be ideal to have a welcome page with settings, where the user could choose which instrument to see feedback from. This way, if a piano key was played, the device would display a piano diagram rather than a guitar chord chart for the similar frequency. The microphone, instead of directly plugging in an instrument, makes it easier to incorporate all instruments. It is also more user friendly since adapters would not be required. This could also lead to hearing vocals to assist singers.
Possible Future Applications
Hue Harmony can be altered for other possible applications. This is expected to capture more amateur musicians, but advanced musicians may enjoy the color changing display. The same concept could also be a game, like a version of Rocksmith (also found on Steam), except it would be a reactive device. It could also lead to another project idea we had: a guitar keyboard. (Each key/frequency would be linked to a character, like ASCII does with numbers and characters. People could jam out while writing an essay.) This project could be helpful for those with hearing problems by allowing them to make a series of colors. A problem this project faces is incorporating those with color blindness. We would need to do a lot more research in this field, which we would like to implement eventually.
