NEW NEWS
Due to requests, an event calendar has been added to the P-I-E-N-O,
Parkinsn List Online page and also the gateway page, for use by those wish
to announce a fund raiser, conference or support group meeting. All
calendars are the same. Events on one, show up on the others as well. By
having a calendar on the maillist page, you can check the future events by
looking at the calendar on the left top of the page. Days with events will
be highlighted and if you click on that date, the announcement will be
displayed. If you click anywhere on the calendar, you will be taken to the
calendar where you can enter your events. Events up to 1 year in advance or
recurring meetings can be entered there.
This is do-it-yourself. I provide the tools and you use them. If you have
problems, I can help. I would like to emphasize that calendar entries are
not limited to US or Canadian events but it is hoped international members
will make use of this also. The US election November 7 (7 November) is done
to use as an example.
The page with the calendar is at:

New Features have been added to your P-I-E-N-O (Parkinsons Information
Exchange Network Online).
The vendor for the 800 plus search boxes on P-I-E-N-O has changed resulting
in better searches with more advanced search options.
On the left of the SEARCH button is where you enter your word or words.
On the right of the SEARCH button are the words, All of
Parkinsons-Information-Exchange-Online.
When any word or words are entered on the left, the search location is
listed to the right. If you click on Parkinsons-Information-Exchange-Online
or the down arrow to the right of those words a list will appear with
additional search locations. New search locations in the list are MESSAGE
BOARD and NEWS. You can use the search box to search the current news or
the new message boards. Using the NEWS search location isn't limited just
to Parkinson's but is universal.
DIRECT LINKS:
Underneath the search boxes are several underlined words.
HOME takes you to the P-I-E-N-O starting page.
THE WEB takes you to the Open Directory Project (ODP) page where you can
select directories of interest or search for a particular word or phrase
and the directories that contain them will be shown. Our own Janet Paterson
is one of the very fine editors.
MESSAGE BOARD takes you to the message boards where you can discuss
specific topics. The topics are:
ET(Essential Tremor) Discussion
PWP(People With Parkinsons) Depression Discussion
PWP(People With Parkinsons) Medication Discussion
Parkinson's Plus Discussion
ShyDrager/MSA Discussion
Registration is required but you will be remembered when you return so it
is a one-time inconvenience. Our vendor is the one that requires the
registration...not I. Moderators/participants are encouraged to monitor these.
PARKINSON'S NEWS searches the world-wide news sites for the word
Parkinson's and returns the list sorted by date. You can click that link
and keep current on the current, up-to-the-minute, Parkinson's news stories.
IS THERE NEW CONTENT ON P-I-E-N-O?
Several new articles have been added and many updated on:
http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/archive/ct.html
New abstracts have been added, listed by topic and also listed by authors
who are leading movement disorder specialists and neurosurgeons.
A comprehensive new article by Dr. Paul Francel on reducing the operating
time for pallidotomy/thalamotomy and DBS is linked on the P-I-E-N-O Archive
Treasures Page. The link is at:
http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com
NEW SITE MAPS:
New Site Maps have been added to ease navigation to the individual pages of
the two main areas of P-I-E-N-O, which are the Archive Treasures and the
P-I-E-N-O Parkinsn's List Drug Database. We have several resources which
have several pages and from the site map any of them are accessible.
Parkinsn List Online has the 500 most current list messages. The newest
message replaces the oldest message. Many come to the maillist page
expecting to find a certain message but it has been replaced. Before, when
this occurred, they would get an error message that was hard to decipher.
Now, the arcane error message has been replaced with the explaination of
what has happened and the message is still available in Simon Coles Archive
and if they enter the word or phrase in the search box provided they will
be taken to it. Below Simon Coles search box is the same P-I-E-N-O search
box found on every page of P-I-E-N-O.
INTERNET EXPLORER TIP:
If you are reading an article on P-I-E-N-O and you encounter a word you
would like to search for, click or double click your mouse on that word. It
will become highlighted. Hold the left mouse button down and move the
mouse. The cursor will change to a Ø (O or zero with a slash through it).
Drag that word to the search box and release the left mouse button(when you
are over the search box input area, the cursor changes again). The word
will be dropped on to the search box and you can click on the search
button. This saves typing long names. To use this method any word that was
there previously has to be removed before clicking the search button.
