Tips to Obtain the Best Travel Rates | Travel and Leisure Blog

When you have simply experienced enough of the typical work-a-day routine, you are prepared to visit the online travel sites to get a well-deserved break. However, you may lack the understanding and advanced knowledge to get the best deal on your well-deserved vacation.

While most of the airlines and also the travel websites usually can frustrate a lot of people with their widely different prices from one moment to the next, there are several reasons behind this kind of operation bound up in a corporate profit-motive attitude to these large website variations.

First of all, as your father used to inform you, it is well-advised to plan in advance. Generally, as is more often than not the case, the sooner ahead you make your reservations, the greater the cost. Booking a trip 4 months in advance will in most cases result in a much lower overall price compared to booking two weeks or much less before the planned date of the trip.

Making travel plans for your personal trip on the big bird on a weekend or holiday is a very common mistake. These are the days a lot of the population is off work capable to get away. As a result of demand and supply economics; this is actually the priciest time for a happy holiday. The day you depart is essential to your ability to realize huge savings. Often times it even pays-off to give up a number of your vacation days to enjoy the benefits. If you?re able to travel on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday, you?ll more often than not get great discount rates from the more preferred Monday, Friday or Sunday travel dates.

SALEM -- A Salem dentist given just months to live is free of cancerous tumors after treatment at Providence Cancer Center.

Dr. Chuck Howard was diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma two years ago.

?I knew enough to realize it was bad. I figured I had six months to two years at the most,? he remembers.

?You realize that in a very short time you may not be together anymore,? said his wife Jo.

They have been married 39 years.

She works with him at their dental practice. They also raised a son and daughter and enjoy the outdoors.

?We just never thought we wouldn?t get to enjoy our retirement years together,? said Jo.

After Chuck?s diagnosis, he joined a trial with 11 other patients at Providence Cancer Center.

?He was very sick when we began. His cancer was progressing rapidly,? explained Dr. Brendan Curti.

Chuck went through six months of treatment spending six weeks of that time in the hospital.

He was given a high dose of radiation followed by immunotherapy. Researchers describe it as a one-two punch.

?Both therapies had been used before but this research was designed to test the combination and the timing,? Curti explained.

The trial had a 60 to 70 percent response rate.

The tumors once numerous in Chuck?s body are gone and he has been told there is very little chance the melanoma will return.

?When we started this process I was told it could be a strike out or a home run,? Chuck recalled.

?We are so thankful this was available,? Jo added, ?and we hope it will eventually help others."

A second trial for 40 patients is now under way at Providence Cancer Center.

?We?re hoping to increase our batting average with more home runs,? Curti said.

Max Petroleum Strikes Oil at Kazakhstan ASK-J2 Well

Kazakhstan-focused Max Petroleum revealed Friday that it has struck oil at its ASK-J2 well at the Asanketken Field. Max drilled the ASK-J2 well to a depth of 4,595 feet (1,401 meters). The well produced 30 feet (9 meters) of net oil pay in two zones at depths ranging from 4.128 to 4,336 feet (1,286 to 1,322 meters). Max said that the reservoir quality appears excellent, with porosities ranging from 18 to 30 percent. Max plans to run a production casing in the well. The production casing will be placed on test production once it is completed.

The Zhanros ZJ-20 rig, which has been drilling the well, will now shift to drill the Baichonas West prospect on Block E, added Max.

?

The ASK-J1 well in the Asanketken Field has also begun testing from depths between 4,290 and 4.316 feet (1,308 and 1,316 meters), flowing at a stable rate of 300 barrels of oil per day (bopd), Max said. This is the first of six zones which will be on test production for up to 90 days each. The Asanketken Field is currently producing approximately 2,000 bopd from three wells.

?

Oil analysts at London-based investment bank Oriel Securities said the update was ?positive? and ?suggests that the recoverable reserves could increase? at the Asanketken Field.

?

Max also disclosed that, based on the final technical review of recently acquired 3D seismic data in western Block E, a new post-salt prospect has been added to its drillable portfolio. Tolegen West is a four-way Triassic rim prospect located near the Tolegen Field in Block E. It is estimated by the company to have a recoverable resource potential of eight million barrels with a geologic chance of success of 26-percent.?

?

Meanwhile, Max is continuing to drill its NUR-1 well on the Emba-B pre-salt prospect, which is also located on Block E. The firm expects to reach total depth here later in June.

Powerful storms damage homes in Colo., Wyo.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) ? A rare, quarter-mile-wide tornado cut a swath across mainly open country in southeastern Wyoming, ripping off roofs and shingles, destroying outbuildings and derailing empty train cars.

The twister, which carried winds of up to 135 mph, was part of a powerful storm system that rolled through parts of Colorado and Wyoming on Thursday, packing heavy rains, high winds and hail. The storms followed a round of nasty late spring weather that pummeled the region.

The tornado passed through a sparsely populated area near Wheatland, a small city about 70 miles north of Cheyenne. It left eight structures heavily damaged and caused lesser damage three structures, said Kelly Ruiz of the state's Office of Homeland Security.

Some power lines also were downed. Only one person suffered minor injuries.

Kim Eike said the tornado went right over her house, which was still standing, though battered.

"We lost a camper, it blew out the windows in our house, blew off the shingles clear down to the plywood, but we didn't lose the roof," Eike, whose property is about 8 miles south of Wheatland, said Friday.

Eike was watching the twister with co-workers at First State Bank in Wheatland when one pointed out it was near Eike's house. She said the pig barn and door from the main barn also were lost.

No one was home at the time, she said, noting that a couple in another house in the area rode out the storm in their basement.

Don Farrier, a Wheatland restaurateur, said his house about 6.5 miles from Wheatland was damaged and will need a new roof. He said he lost some trees, and a shed on his property was knocked down.

Farrier was at his restaurant when he saw the tornado and decided to drive toward his home.

"I stopped and watched it for a while," he said. "It sure wasn't moving very fast, but you could tell it was a big tornado for this part of the country."

National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Emanuel said the tornado was a quarter-mile wide and stayed on the ground for much of its 20-mile path from west of Wheatland to northeast of Chugwater. The area is about 60 miles north of Cheyenne.

Hail the size of golf balls also was reported in the Wheatland area, and 2-inch hail was reported in Laramie, the National Weather Service said.

The tornado knocked over five empty cars on a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train near parked Wheatland, railroad spokesman Gus Melonas said.

Preliminary reports show Colorado was hit by 10 tornadoes during the past two days. The storms came at the peak time for such severe weather in the state. Severe thunderstorms normally become less common later in the month and in early July until summer monsoons start developing.

At least seven homes were damaged in Elbert County on the plains southeast of Denver. County officials said two homes lost roofs and others had broken windows but the total damage was still being assessed.

To the south, four buildings and a house in El Paso County were heavily damaged, the National Weather Service said.

Laura Van Why said she and her husband Dennis, their 2-year-old son and two dogs hid under the stairs of their basement while the storm passed near Kiowa, Colo.

"It felt like forever," Van Why said. "It was like black out the windows."

Forecaster Jerry Claycomb with the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, said the same factors created the storms in both states.

A low-pressure system stalled over northern Colorado and against the Laramie Range mountains southeast of Casper. That pulled up low-level moisture from the Gulf of Mexico from the southeast.

High-level westerly winds combined with low-level southeasterly winds to create what Claycomb called "shear," which he said amounts to a turning in the atmosphere.

"It created these super cell thunderstorms over us, and those super cells created some tornadoes" he said.

Syria accused of new massacre as U.N. meets

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian troops and militiamen loyal to President Bashar al-Assad stood accused by opponents on Thursday of a new massacre of scores of villagers hours before a divided United Nations Security Council convenes to review the crisis.

If confirmed, the killings of at least 78 people at Mazraat al-Qabeer, near Hama, will pile on pressure for world powers to act, but there is little sign they can overcome a paralysis born of sharp divisions between Western and Arab states on the one hand and Assad's defenders in Russia, China and Iran.

Several activists who monitor the 15-month-old revolt gave accounts to Reuters that women and children were among the dead when the village in central Syria came under artillery bombardment before fighters moved in on the ground and shot and stabbed dozens of people to death.

Echoing descriptions of a massacre of 108 civilians at Houla on May 25, which U.N. observers attributed to Assad's troops and loyalist 'shabbiha' militia, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said: "Shabbiha headed into the area after the shelling and killed dozens of citizens, among them women and children."

Some activists said at least 40 of the dead were women and children. At Houla, near Homs, nearly half had been children.

In that earlier case, Assad himself condemned the atrocity but denied any hand in it and blamed opponents whom he describes as foreign-backed "terrorists".

Killings of civilians from the Sunni Muslim majority among which the uprising has been widely supported by shabbiha drawn mostly from Assad's minority Alawite sect, who identify with the Shi'ites of Iran, have raised fears of an Iraq-style sectarian bloodbath and reinforced a wider regional confrontation between Iran and the mainly Sunni-led Arab states of the Middle East.

CEASEFIRE MONITORS

The failure of a ceasefire brokered by U.N. envoy Kofi Annan in March to halt the bloodshed has raised questions over its continued worth and Annan, the former U.N. secretary-general, is to brief the Security Council later on Thursday in New York.

A 300-strong force of U.N. truce observers has been in Syria for weeks and can be expected to investigate the accounts from Mazraat al-Qabeer, which came in under nightfall in Syria.

There was no immediate comment from the government, and events on the ground are difficult to verify as Syria tightly restricts access to international media.

Activists, including the Observatory based in Britain, called for an immediate investigation: "The Syrian Observatory for Human rights calls on the international monitors to go immediately to the area. They should not wait to tomorrow to investigate this new massacre," it said in a statement.

"They should not give the excuse that their mission is only to observe the ceasefire, because many massacres have been committed during their presence in Syria."

U.N. diplomats said they expected Annan to present the Security Council with a new proposal to rescue his failing peace plan by creating a "contact group" of world and regional powers.

Some rebel groups, which have helped escalate what began as popular demonstrations for democracy into what is approaching a civil war, have lost faith in any ceasefire calls and are calling for more foreign arms and other support.

Western leaders, wary of new military engagements in the Muslim world and especially of the explosively complex ethnic and religious mix that Syria represents, have offered sympathy but show no appetite for taking on Assad's redoubtable armed forces, which can call on Iran and Russia for supplies.

ISTANBUL MEETING

Separately, ministers and envoys from 15 countries and the European Union agreed at a meeting hosted by Turkey in Istanbul on Wednesday to convene a "coordination group" to provide support to the opposition but left unclear what it may involve.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was among officials from Europe, Turkey and Arab states who discussed "additional steps" including coordination on an "effective and credible transition process" to lead to a "democratic, post-Assad Syria", a Turkish statement said, adding that the group would be represented at a meeting in Istanbul next week of Syrian rebels.

Annan hopes his new idea can prevent a total collapse of his plan for a truce and negotiated political solution, U.N. diplomats said. The core of the proposal, diplomats said, would be the establishment of a contact group that would bring together Russia, China, the United States, Britain, France and key regional players with influence on Syria's government or the opposition, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Iran.

By creating such a contact group, envoys said, Annan would also be trying to break the deadlock among the five permanent council members that has pitted veto powers Russia and China against the United States, Britain and France and prevented any meaningful U.N. action on the Syrian conflict.

It would attempt to map out a "political transition" for Syria that would lead to Assad stepping aside and the holding of free elections, envoys said. One envoy said the idea was "vaguely similar" to a political transition deal for Yemen that led to the president's ouster.

The main point of Annan's proposal, they said, is to get Russia to commit to the idea of a Syrian political transition, which remains the thrust of Annan's six-point peace plan that both the Syrian government and opposition said they accepted earlier this year, but have failed to implement.

"LIFE SUPPORT"

While Russia has repeatedly said it is not protecting Assad, it has given no indications that it is ready to abandon him. Assad has proven to be a staunch Russian ally and remains a top purchaser of weapons from Russian firms, and diplomats say Moscow continues to reward him for his loyalty.

"The thought is one that we've had for a little while, which is that you need to bind Russia into some sort of transition strategy on Syria," a senior Western diplomat said.

An unnamed diplomat leaked further details of Annan's proposal to Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who said that if the contact group agreed on a transition deal for Syria, it would mean "Assad would presumably depart for Russia, which is said to have offered him exile".

It was not immediately clear if the idea of Russian exile for Assad was something Annan was pushing or if it was Ignatius's speculation. The Post article said that another option for Assad would be to seek exile in Iran, Damascus' other staunch ally.

In what could be the first step toward the creation of Annan's contact group, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday floated the idea of an international meeting on the Syrian crisis that would bring together the prime candidates for Annan's proposed contact group, including Iran.

Clinton, however, reacted coolly to including Iran, which she said was "stage-managing" the Syrian government assault on the opposition that the United Nations says killed at least 10,000 people.

Before he addresses the Security Council, Annan will speak to the 193-nation General Assembly, along with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby.

Separately, envoys said it was unclear if the council will agree to extend the 90-day mandate of the 300-strong unarmed U.N. observer mission in Syria, which is increasingly at risk of attack. Its mandate expires in late July.

Dock from Japan tsunami washes ashore in Ore.

When the tsunami hit the northern coast of Japan last year, the waves ripped four dock floats the size of freight train boxcars from their pilings in the fishing port of Misawa and turned them over to the whims of wind and currents.

One floated up on a nearby island. Two have not been seen again. But one made an incredible journey across 5,000 miles of ocean that ended this week on a popular Oregon beach.

Along for the ride were hundreds of millions of individual organisms, including a tiny species of crab, a species of algae, and a little starfish all native to Japan that have scientists concerned if they get a chance to spread out on the West Coast.

"This is a very clear threat," said John Chapman, a research scientist at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Ore., where the dock washed up early Tuesday. "...It's incredibly difficult to predict what will happen next."

State officials were considering plans to scrape all the living organisms off the dock and bury them in the sand, so they would not spread, Chapman said.

While scientists expect much of the floating debris to follow the currents to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an accumulation of millions of tons of small bits of plastic floating in the northern Pacific, tsunami debris that can catch the wind is making its way to North America. In recent weeks, a soccer ball washed up in Alaska, and a Harley Davidson motorcycle in a shipping container was found in British Columbia, Canada.

How the dock float ? 165 tons of concrete and steel measuring 66 feet long, 19 feet wide and 7 feet high ? turned up on Agate Beach, a mile north of Newport, was probably determined within sight of land in Japan, said Jan Hafner, a computer programmer in the University of Hawaii's International Pacific Research Center, which is tracking the 1.5 million tons of tsunami debris likely floating across the Pacific.

That's where the winds, currents and tides are most variable, due to changes in the coastline and the features of the land, even for two objects a few yards apart, he said. Once the dock float got into the ocean, it was pushed steadily by the prevailing westerly winds, and the North Pacific current.

"If you have leaves falling from a tree ... one leaf will be moving in a slightly different direction from another one," Hafner said. "Over time, the differences get bigger and bigger and bigger.

"Something similar is happening on the ocean."

After it came ashore, the Japanese consulate was able to track down the origin of the dock float from a plaque bolted to it commemorating its installation in June 2008. Deputy Consul Hirofumi Murabayashi said Wednesday from Portland, Ore., that it was one of four owned by Aomori Prefecture that broke loose from the port of Misawa on the northern tip of the main island during the tsunami.

Akihisa Sato, an engineer with Zeniya Kaiyo Service, the dock's Tokyo-based manufacturer, said the docks were used for loading fish onto trucks. One of them turned up several weeks later on an island south of Misawa, but the other two remain missing.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., called on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to redouble its efforts to track the debris, saying something as big as the dock could pose a danger to ships at sea.

NOAA's tsunami marine debris coordinator, Ruth Yender, said if the Pacific were shrunk to the size of a football field, something like the dock would be the size of a human hair, making it very difficult to monitor, even from satellites.

The dock tested negative for radiation, which was to be expected if the dock broke loose before the nuclear power plant accident triggered by the waves, said Chris Havel, spokesman for the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation, which is overseeing removal of the dock.

Chapman said the dock float was covered with masses of algae, kelp, barnacles, mussels and other organisms. One square-foot area weighed nine pounds.

"This is a whole, intact, very diverse community that floated across from Japan to here," he said. "That doesn't happen with a log or a thrown-out tire. I've never seen anything like this."

Of particular concern was a small crab that has run wild on the East Coast, but not shown up yet on the West Coast, and a species of algae that has hit Southern California, but not Oregon. The starfish, measuring about three inches across, also appears to be new to U.S. shores.

"It's almost certainly true that most of the things on this have not been introduced to this coast yet," Chapman said. "We're going to see more of these things coming."

Tom Cleveland, a housekeeping supervisor at nearby beachfront condominiums, said people curious to see it have been jamming up traffic at a beach parking lot.

"Everybody and their brother has been here looking at it and checking it out," Cleveland said. "Obviously, we knew things would be coming our way, but I didn't expect anything this size."

Pocket lead developer: Developing for Android is "quite enjoyable"

Pocket

We've all seen those reports from app developers on other platforms, saying how developing for Android is a nightmare, and isn't worthwhile (we file those with the "Android is doomed when the next XXX comes out" reports), so it's refreshing to see the other side of the coin. Max Weiner, lead developer for Pocket., (see our interview with the Weiner brothers here) has let us in a little of what goes one behind the scenes at Pocket, and the short version of how they developed one of the best and most popular Android apps to date.

Starting with the Samsung Fascinate he got on contract for a penny, Max and company have certainly done well despite all the promises that they need hundreds of devices to test with and will face countless headaches developing for Android. It's a great read, and we look forward to seeing the rest of their tips for Android developers as the series continues.

New technique to give us better understanding of human tissues

ScienceDaily (June 6, 2012) ? Research from North Carolina State University demonstrates that a relatively new microscopy technique can be used to improve our understanding of human tissues and other biomedical materials. The study focused specifically on eye tissues, which are damaged by scarring in diabetic patients.

"Our findings are a proof of concept, showing that this technique is extremely effective at giving us the data we need on these tissues," says Dr. Albena Ivanisevic, co-author of a paper describing the research. "Specifically, it gives a great deal of information on the composition of these tissues, as well as the tissue's topography, or surface characteristics." Ivanisevic is an associate professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and associate professor of the joint biomedical engineering program at NC State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The study is one of the first to explore how this technology, called bimodal dual AC mode microscopy, can improve our understanding of human tissues and biomaterials.

The research team, which included researchers from Purdue University and the University of Louisville School of Medicine, examined two types of eye tissue from diabetic patients. Specifically, they looked at the inner limiting membrane (ILM), which is the surface layer of the retina, and so-called epiretinal membranes. Epiretinal membranes are scar tissues that form on the ILM in diabetics. Scar tissue can cause significant damage to the retina and, if untreated, may lead to blindness.

There are multiple treatments for this scarring. In the United States, a common technique is for a surgeon to peel off the ILM, removing the scar tissue with it. In many other parts of the world, surgeons inject dye into the eye to better distinguish the parts of the eye they will operate on. This process is not currently allowed in the United States, due to concerns about the dye's toxicity.

The researchers launched this project, in part, to determine if bimodal dual AC mode microscopy could be used to provide a better understanding of the topographical properties of the ILM. Further, the researchers wanted to use the technology to see if it offered insight into how -- or whether -- various dyes affect the topographical characteristics of the ILM. "All of this information could be used to improve surgical outcomes and to foster research into additional treatments for the condition," Ivanisevic says.

The researchers found that bimodal dual AC mode microscopy, an atomic force imaging technique, captured the properties of the tissue in exceptional detail. Atomic force imaging effectively runs a probe over the surface of a material to collect data on its topography, similar to the way in which a record player's needle runs over the surface of an album.

"The next step would be to use this technology to assess the utility -- and potential risk -- of various dyes," Ivanisevic says. "If we can find a dye that is extremely effective and poses little risk, it may be approved for use in future surgeries."
