More On This Topic: Working Hands Is Massage Safe for Kids with Cancer? by Tina Allen, LMT, CPMMT, CPMT, CIMT During a recent visit to a children’s hospital, the mother of a child approached me with a question. Amy, her little girl was only eight months old and diagnosed with Retinoblastoma (a rare childhood cancer arising from immature retinal cells in one or both eyes). Mom was pointed in my direction by the head nurse on duty, and when she approached she asked if I had given her daughter a massage.

Today, mom and I started talking for a moment, and she wept while she thanked me for massaging her daughter. Every time Amy comes to…

All Law Enforcement Positions Require Employee Criminal Background Check Reports
More On This Topic: Simple Loan Agreement Positions in law enforcement require an employee criminal background check. Even if you are only applying for a position answering phones, an employee criminal background check will be required. People that work in law enforcement have tremendous authority, so they must be worthy of the public trust. A police officer can detain a citizen on suspicion of a crime. While it is true that without evidence, the suspect will be released, detention can be embarrassing and have long term negative consequences for the person publicly detained. Police officers are in a position of such trust, that abusive behaviors can continue for years before they are detected.

Unlike the background checks performed in many commercial industries, the law enforcement employee criminal background check is a fingerprint analysis. Online…

Canada’s supercomputer goes online
Friday, June 19, 2009 The University of Toronto SciNet Consortium went online yesterday with the IBM System x iDataPlex Supercomputer. U of T’s IBM System x is now the fastest computer outside of the United States, the largest Intel processor based IBM installation internationally and the twelfth most powerful globally. It will be used for a wide variety of operations, such as analysing climate change models, aerospace, astrophysics, genetics, bioinformatics, chemical physics, medical imaging research and other highly calculation-intensive tasks. The C$50 million dollar supercomputer can perform 300 trillion calculations per second and uses the equivalent amount of energy which would power 4,000 homes. The supercomputer will be cooled by outdoor winter air assisted by a water based cooling system during warmer summer months. The computer will provide computations for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that started preliminary experiments on September 10, 2008 at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC…
