Google adds touch-friendly features to the latest Chrome Canary test version
It looks like Google is now planning to add quite a few touch-friendly features to its Chrome browser. According to The Verge, while checking out the latest nightly Canary build, a new slide-to-navigate feature can now be seen on the browser. This new feature lets users swipe left or right to go backwards and forwards on Internet pages. This is similar to the same feature seen on Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8.
Another feature that Google is reportedly working on is the pinch-to-zoom feature. This is available in an ?enable pinch scale? option in the Chrome Canary flags, according to the source report. While the feature is reportedly in a more experimental phase when compared to the swipe navigation, the former reportedly works as you would expect it to, by zooming in websites using your fingers. Google has also supported the onscreen keyboard fully in the desktop version of Windows 8 by displaying the same when the user reportedly taps the address bar or text boxes.
Google has added some touch-friendly features to Chrome Canary
?
The need for touch in Chrome has definitely grown after the launch of the native Chromebook Pixel as well as the increasing number of Windows 8 machines. Google released a ?Metro? version of Chrome for Windows 8 last year, but the version was mainly a container for Chrome as opposed to being a finger-friendly version. These new features may be minor in their application, but it can be expected that once they are out of the testing phase, they will definitely help make Chrome more user-friendly on the latest touch-enabled devices.??

How to build cheap website for small business - Alek Davis
Summary: This series is intended for small business owners who want to establish web presence on a limited budget.
Say, you are a small business owner operating a local bakery. Or maybe you are an accountant. Maybe you manage an auto shop. Or work as a general contractor. You would like to have a website, but think it will cost you too much. Or maybe you just don't know how to start. Worry not: you can build a website yourself (or with little help). And you can do it on the cheap. And it does not have to be bad. In fact, it can be better than an average small business site you find now on the web. In this series, I'll tell you how you can do it.First, let me set the expectations. This series is not about building the next Amazon.com. A website I have in mind will not get you design awards. It is also not intended for businesses operating primarily online, such as online stores. The idea is to make a basic site with a handful of static pages, which will expose your business to the internet.
Before we start, let me answer a few questions that small business owners often ask:
- Do I need a website?
For majority of small business owners: yes, you do... unless you are one of the best or the worst. If you are very good, your reputation is spread by the word of mouth, and clients are chasing you instead of you chasing them, then the website will probably not make it better (although, it will not hurt, especially when business slows down). But if customers complain about you a lot, then visibility on the web will do you more harm then good (unless you take it as an opportunity to improve). - Will a website help me generate more business?
Don't expect immediate inflow of customers right after publishing your website. It will take time for search engines and people to find you. There are ways to speed up the process a bit, but even under ideal conditions, you may not see obvious results, at least, not immediately. But in certain cases, it may help, especially, if you consider the competition. Do your competitors have websites? If they do, you can't afford to not have one. If they don't, a website will give you a competitive advantage. Also, web presence can bring you business opportunities that you may not even expect. - How much effort will building and maintaining a website take?
Initial setup will take most of the time. If you already know what you want to put on the website, you can do it in a couple of days. Once your website is up and running, maintenance (if you follow my recommendations) will not take much effort. - Can I build a website myself?
In theory, many people should be able to. In reality (at least, based on my experience), majority of small business owners seek help with initial setup. Hopefully, this series will help you chose the path that is right for you. - How much will a website cost?
My goal is to get you up and running for less than $20 per year for a basic site (with a handful of pages). This assumes that you do everything yourself or get help for a more technically and aesthetically savvy friend or relative. If you need professional assistance for initial setup, it may cost you more, but it would be a one-time cost. Also, if you need some special bells and whistles, it may be more expensive (but not by a lot). I'll discuss costs in more detail later.

- Pros and cons of hiring a contractor
- How to avoid common pitfalls when working with a web developer

San Joaquin River could spawn jobs, but how many?
The $2 billion price of creating a living San Joaquin River will buy more than a beautiful view -- it will boost the economy of places like Fresno, the second-poorest metropolitan area in the country.
That's one message expected at the annual San Joaquin River Conference, a three-day gathering this week in Fresno to talk about the ongoing restoration of the state's second-longest river.
But the uplifting message might be weighed down by sticker shock over the cost of restoration, says Michael Sutton, executive director of Audubon California, one of the scheduled keynote speakers at the conference.
There is far more detail about restoration costs than there is about future jobs, new businesses and a higher quality of life, which are difficult to predict, he said.
"It's frustrating," Sutton said. "But remember, the river is being brought back from the dead. It will have significant benefits in recreation and tourism."
Another keynote speaker will be Rebecca Wodder, senior adviser to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who is recognizing areas nationwide for river restorations and recreation efforts.
The San Joaquin, now entering its fourth year of restoration efforts, is one of 20 high-priority sites in the federal government's campaign -- which clearly links healthy ecosystems with prosperity.
"We see that happening across the country," Wodder said. "Restoring a river and reconnecting to it means great things for communities.
For instance, University of Oregon researchers found that about $169 million of restoration investments in Oregon have resulted in nearly 2,700 jobs and $400 million in economic activity.
The San Joaquin restoration is expected to generate 11,000 temporary jobs -- mostly in construction -- over the next dozen years, according to a study released this month by economist Shawn Kantor of the University of California at Merced. He says about 475 more permanent jobs would emerge in the recreation industry, related to fishing, boating, tourism and other activities.
The restoration began three years ago after the settlement of a long-running environmental lawsuit. The river and its salmon runs dried up when Friant Dam was built in the 1940s.
Experimental water releases from the dam have kept the river wet most of the time since 2009. Some salmon have been released and tracked to help scientists understand how the fish will react in the river.
Major projects -- bypasses around dams and channel changes to help fish -- have not been built yet. Planners also must decide the course of the river through one section where the old channel has not been used in decades.
Federal agencies estimate the core projects of restoring the San Joaquin will cost $892 million, but the many secondary projects would raise the price to $2 billion or more.
The money is coming from federal and state sources as well as fees from east Valley farmers, though critics say they doubt there will be enough money to complete the restoration.
At the river conference this week, there will be a 1 p.m. Thursday session featuring Kantor, who will talk about economic benefits from the restoration.
When the study was released, Kantor said: "In a region suffering from chronic unemployment, the San Joaquin Valley is desperate for a jolt to its economy."
More jobs would be good news in the Fresno metropolitan area, where one in four people live at or below the poverty line. Around the nation, only the U.S.-Mexico border region of McAllen, Texas, is poorer, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
But a farm-water education group said Kantor's study did not account for a possible economic blow from the loss of irrigation water.
Production will stop on some farmland, and jobs will be lost, said Mike Wade, executive director of the nonprofit California Farm Water Coalition, based in Sacramento.
"We need to know what we will lose when we make changes like the river restoration," he said.
A University of Oregon researcher who has studied restoration benefits says it's important to understand that a restoration probably won't generate as much money as the industry previously using the resources.
Researcher Cassandra Moseley said restoring rivers, wetlands and forests in Oregon is not the money-maker that the timber industry was.
After studying Oregon's investments in restoration, she says the work creates a short-term stimulus. But industries adjusted and created long-term benefits.
"You see construction businesses, for instance, that have transitioned to build driveways and make in-stream improvements in rivers," she said. "You see commercial logging companies that are contracting to do forest thinning."

Breast Cancer Survivor Gives Back
?
Breast cancer survivor and Cumberland Foreside resident, Laurie Hyndman, pays it forward.
?We are grateful for Laurie?s energy, enthusiasm, and dedication to the Center,? says Michele Johns, Executive Director of the Cancer Community Center (CCC) of Laurie?s recent appointment to the Center?s Board of Directors and ongoing support of the CCC.
?I walked out of my doctor?s office having just had the diagnosis confirmed. I had breast cancer,? says Hyndman. ?I drove straight to the Cancer Community Center to sit down with my pal, Michele Johns. I hadn?t been there before, but I knew what the center did. Needless to say, I never ever thought I?d need the CCC?s services. Michele armed me with literature about breast cancer, shared the many program offerings that might help me on my journey and, most importantly, offered her love and support. What a difference that can make.
As my family and I navigated the swirling seas of treatment, fear, and hope, we were astonished by the outpouring of concern and support we received from so many people. I was familiar with the Buddy Program and did sense that a lifeline to someone who had been through this herself would help with all of my questions, silly and serious, and would simply understand what I was going through. Turns out I was right and my Buddy was a wonderful source of hope.
There is no good reason to get cancer, but there is a good outcome for so many of us. To be able to give back to another cancer patient, share my experience, offer hope ? that is the greatest reward. The Center gives me so many opportunities to give back and to pay it forward.?
The Maine Buddy Program? is a statewide, one-to-one initiative connecting individuals impacted by cancer with a trained volunteer Buddy who has had a similar cancer experience. The Cancer Community Center finds Buddy matches for cancer patients, caregivers, and those who have lost a loved one to cancer. Buddies are available at any stage of one?s treatment or loss experience. Matches are made using a wide variety of individual criteria including the type of cancer, treatment, age, and geographic location.? Most Buddy relationships take place by phone giving the CCC the ability to accommodate Buddy requests across the state.
?I am struck by the positive feedback we, as board members, hear from CCC buddies and support group participants,? says Michele Johns. ??The Center fields daily calls from people in need and matches them with one of over 200 trained volunteer Buddies or connects them with one of 14 cancer specific support groups.? ?
The Breast & Gynecological Support Group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 6-7:30 pm at the CCC (778 Main St, South Portland). To become a breast cancer Buddy to someone in need or to learn how you can get a Buddy, call 774-2200 or visit the Cancer Community Center website.
