Keeping up with our researchers
New role for Neglia
Dr. Joe Neglia has been named Chair of the University of Minnesota Department of Pediatrics and Pediatrician in Chief for University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital. He will take over this role fulltime in early January.
In announcing Neglia's appointment, Dr. Frank Cerra, senior vice president of Health Sciences at said, "Dr. Neglia is well-qualified for this position and received overwhelming support from the faculty of the department. I am very pleased that he has accepted the position and believe he will be an effective leader for the department and for the opening of the new University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital."
Early in his career, Dr. Neglia was one of the first research fellows whose work was funded by Children's Cancer Research Fund. As the primary oncologist for many Children's Cancer Research Fund kids and families, future patients will be fortunate to have a pediatric cancer advocate like Dr. Neglia to lead the department and new hospital, of which half of the rooms will be dedicated to patients receiving treatment for childhood cancer. We congratulate and wish Dr. Neglia all the best in his new role!
$2.5 million grant awarded
Children's Cancer Research Fund co-chief medical advisor, Dr. Julie Ross, was awarded a National Cancer Institute grant of $2.5 million to investigate the causes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and research why many cases progress to leukemia. This is the largest-of-its-kind study, aiming to identify environmental, lifestyle, and genetic factors that may predispose a person to MDS.
MDS involves a group of diseases of the blood and bone marrow. It's similar to leukemia in that the bone marrow does not make enough healthy blood cells. About one-third of patients with MDS go on to develop acute myeloid leukemia.
Only about 10,000 people per year in the United States get MDS, but for unknown reasons, Minnesota has one of the highest rates of the disease. The disease is more common in men, affects predominantly older people with the average age being 75 years, and can have a poor prognosis.
Although the disease primarily affects adults, cases of MDS are also found in children. In our 2010 annual report, we feature one family in which both children were diagnosed and treated for MDS at the University of Minnesota.

I reside in Singapore. My Norton360 was subscribed for $54.99 Sin$ last year. Its going to be dued in 2 weeks. But i was pissed-off when now the price S$79.99.A shocking $25 increase or 45%. I am not intending to continue anymore i thought. A new 1PC Norton selling at major PC shops here in singapore only cost less than $60..(yes its Norton360 V6)
i am asking Norton why the difference ?
also i am definitely piss-off with this auto_renewal function. I had disabled it last few weeks but i continue to receive for a auto-renewal of $79.99 days ago. I think Norton is taking advantage of Asian countries customers by introducing agressive marketing tactics.
Will Norton offer any explaination here.
unhappy customer
Hi Ricky,
try Norton Support Live Chat www.norton.com/chat
--- N360 v6.4 on german 64 bit win7, IE9 ---
Many people buy a retail copy in a store or on line if it is cheaper than renewing just for the price difference and this is nothing to do with which country you are in.
So if you see a good price for the same version you have installed -- Norton 360 Standard or Norton 360 Premier -- then buy it and use the KEY (you do not have to reinstall) a few days before your subscription runs out since using a new KEY wipes out unexpired time whereas Renewing adds the time.
I don't know why your automatic renewal does not stay stopped if you want it stopped and there contacting CHAT as suggested is the best way of sorting this out.
why Norton want to have such difference...actually isnt online purchases/renewal suppose to be cheaper than from retailers stores. Its just more inconvenient caused.
I waited 30min for a chat and thats not the experience i wish to bring up...
thanks for advice will get it from the store.

[ ... ]
I meant to reply on that too -- Norton can't undercut the prices that their authorized distributors charge or they would not have any ....
Also low retail prices are often after short term special offers with discounts and/or tie-ins by which they can limit any reduced profit.
Norton do offer special prices on line from time to time so it's always worth checking but again with the internet being international you may still find that there are offers that don't apply to your location. Sometimes because of local restrictions or different tax rates, import duties and so on.
It's not just Norton, I can assure you.

Love my kids' glasses. I shop where my kids are taken care of...and that is why I shop at SVS. The doc was great and so was the selection of frames for my boys and girl. The prices were very reasonable and I thought it was a good bargain. The office looks new and I really liked the people working there.
Really nice doctor and staff! They've been taking care of my family for years. Really nice doctor, and really caring staff. I recommend them to my friends all the time, and have been going here for years. Nice selection of glasses, too. Very high quality and I get lots of compliments.
Incompetent and shady, poor service. Lack of insurance billing understanding. All staff for the exception of the optometrist are completely incompetent. The whole objective here is to rip the customer as much as humanely possible. Talking about whether you are meeting your monthly sales/profit goal and assuming everyone who walks through the door is a complete moron and treating people as such. If you are looking for an honest business, this is not it!

A great value. I just received my new jacket and am thrilled with it. the fit is great and the quality is excellent. Although spring has definitely arrived here, I know I'll put it to good use next fall and winter. Thanks Columbia. April 8, 2013
Actual color not the same as pictured. Great coat, but it should be for the price. Actual color and layout was different from that pictured. Disappointing since it was a gift for our daughter and the picture was what she wanted. Reflective lining is kind of odd, but very functional and warm jacket. Men't large was a little snug for a winter jacket for a man, an extra large would be better. Since it was for a woman the Men's Large worked okay. March 22, 2013
Excellent coat. Very well made and warm. I would highly recommend it. March 19, 2013
Works Great as Intended I purchased several of these jackets for staff at an EMS agency, as in Texas we can see temperature variations from 20 degrees, high wing, and driving rain, to 85 degrees and drizzling, where crews will still have to work outside for hours.The jacket is warm. I've tried it on the Oregon coast, and in the driving wind in Texas, and it performs well in both with the liner. The liner comes out easily, and I would say the liner alone is a puffy, light jacket that is "warm enough" but I am not wearing it out into the wind. The outer shell performs well as a windbreaker and rain jacket, and I chose the jacket for this feature (and the zip out armpits).One failing for the jacket is that the silvered lining is very puffy, and will come out the sleeves when you quickly slide into the jacket. The crews are opposed to the silver lining shining out at their wrists, but you can tuck it back in; not ideal, but not a deal-breaker. March 7, 2013
Awesome Coat I love this coat - it's exactly what I needed... something universal. The inner liner is surprisingly warm for being so light, while the shell is rugged and waterproof. I may wear the coat during cold winter days and be very comfortable. It's light and warm, but also has various ports to allow more breathability. It has all the features a ski / winter coat should have. Plus, it looks great, which is a perk. March 7, 2013
This product is awesome. I purchased this product for my son... The text I received after he had a chance to wear the jacket a few days was "this coat is AWESOME!" When I called him back to ask what was so awesome, he said it was extremely warm, not too bulky, waterproof and comfortable. Great Jacket Columbia! March 6, 2013
great jacket This jacket is great, its light weight meanwhile it is warm enough to spend all day outside. I love the side vents, when you start to get too hot it cools you down just enough. February 26, 2013
Wow! This is the best all-around coat I have owned in several decades. Seems to "work" over a wide range of temperature & conditions. I gave away five other coats after a few months experience with this one. Snug but comfortable fit. Thanks. February 22, 2013
I can't trust it anymore I don't know whether its warm of not, but the performance is not what it is showed as picture. the color shows black but the object is blue, it is so ugly February 18, 2013
A Top-Notch Warranty Replacemnt When our son's zipper failed in his nearly new ski coat, we sent it to Columbia hoping for a zipper replacement covered by their warranty. Because it was not possible to replace the zipper, we were offered a replacement jacket instead. What a surprise to receive this amazing garment! Not only is the jacket top-notch, the customer service is too!Thank you Columbia! February 14, 2013
Great Jacket This jacket is a beautifully made, high quality jacket with great features. This is not my first "interchange" jacket. I got my first five or six years ago and it's still going strong. This one will freshen up my look..... February 13, 2013
Holy Disco Inside! I sent the jacket back because the inside looks like a disco ball exploded! It is bright reflective silver lining that there was no way I would wear. I liked the jackets fit and function, I just couldnt deal with the inside of the base jacket every time I took it on or off. Could be a good idea to include a picture of this in the future columbia if your going to make it gawdy. February 13, 2013
Love the jacket! Had to buy one for my son and myself! The jackets are wonderful. Very warm and comfortable, surprisingly light. The only complaint is the photos do not match what you actually get (this was true with both the mystery color and the blue forest plaid). This was a little frustrating, however the comfort outweighs the color. Have worn Columbia jackets for the past 8 years. They have come a long way and I will continue to wear them. February 11, 2013
Robert Bowman the jacket is amazing,can"t believe how warm it is.i also have to thank you guys for the great customer care. February 4, 2013
Very worth the money. Absolutely love this jacket. Everybody tends to love my bling when I take my jacket off and they see the shiny interior. Jacket also keeps me very warm, dry, and wind protected up here in Michigan. February 3, 2013
Columbia Isn't What It Used To Be First thing I want to say is I used to LOVE Columbia products. They were great functioning, well made and a great value.I've bought 20-30 products over the last 25 years.In the last five years the value and function have degraded tremendously.The Whirlibird interchange that showed up today (in medium) feels like a straitjacket even though every one of the 6 Columbia jackets and one piece skisuits I've ever bought in medium still fit me comfortably (but are either dated, ripped or worn out over the years). The material is thin, the seams don't seem solid and the zippers and inner pockets are flimsy.Don't even get me started on the poorly made and insulated Mountain Monster gloves that I wasted over $100 on last year. Useless except for warm days.I'm so disappointed that I can't even consider buying Columbia anymore. As a former Portland resident I'd always loved supporting this company. Doubt that they'll print this. January 21, 2013
Just the winter jacket I was looking for I got this a few days ago, and so far really like it. I'll start off with my gripes about quality. The hood only attaches on the sides with velcro- no snaps- which seems kind of cheap. The front zipper pull is mostly rubber, and the velcro sewn along the front storm flap could be done better. Plus the interior goggle pocket is a bit big and flimsy. But these are all very minor points as the main materials are all very nice and work well to keep me warm.I got bright red and it really is BRIGHT red. I'm 5'8", 180lbs at the moment- a little over weight- so the medium fits me a little bit snugly but it's not restrictive. The collar is big enough to be functional, and it doesn't get in the way or get annoying.The hand pockets are nice and big, with a bit of a lip at the edge so change or cell phones won't fall out easily. A really nice touch when you compare this against other jackets that have small pockets or don't seem like they'd hold your new cell phone in them securely. The outer pocket is big enough for a fat wallet, and the interior security pocket holds my 5.5" cell phone with ease. I like that the hood is not super big and floppy like those made to fit helmets. And the body and sleeves are just the right length.When you zip out the inner jacket it looks great as well, and although it's fairly thin and light, it does a great job of keeping you warm. I stood outside in 31 degree weather with a light sweater and this jacket on for about 5 minutes and didn't feel cold. The hand pockets are also nice and big.Overall I'm very happy with this jacket. I compared it to several TNF jackets, and a couple Bean jackets, and this one beat them all out. The price is just right for the style and function it provides, and in the end it got my nod for my really cold weather, ski, and waterproof winter jacket. January 17, 2013
Love my new jacket!!! So I'm a details guy, so lets look at the facts.The color of the jacket is a little darker in normal light. In the sun it brightens up, almost to the color on the web site. The color seems a little feminine on the site, but once it arrives, you realize it's not so girly.The accent pieces that you see on the arms and shoulders are a darker shade of green, that look really good with the jacket.The zippers are actually colored the same color in the picture.I tried on the medium in a local store, and it seemed tight, but I ordered the medium anyway. It showed up and it was a great fit. I typically use medium sized t shirts for undershirts and have to put on a large if I don't want to look like simon cowell. For some reason the medium coat fits nicely.If you are looking for a jacket for a friend or if this one wore out in 10 years, I would purchase this jacket again in a hearbeat. It keeps water out, and breathes like nothing I've ever used to keep warm before. You put this jacket on and feel warm within 5 seconds. Every coat/jacket I've ever had takes longer to make you feel warm.If you have any doubts, look where I live. Philadelphia. It rains/snows/sleets every gd day here. January 16, 2013
Great, just one small thing This jacket is great! The color has a little more blue than it appears to in the picture, but that's not a bad thing--it looks great. Lots of bells and whistles for everything you need.The only drawback: the hood IS flimsy and doesn't roll up into the collar (you'd think for $200 it would). January 13, 2013
WARMTH! I have been using this company for many years now,this product is well worth it,this model is a good throw of your money,you will be satisfied January 7, 2013
Omni-Heat® liner does its job -4 degrees yesterday and never really noticed. Jacket is lighter than my previous Columbia jacket, but is a little tight under the arms & shoulders. January 2, 2013
Awesome jacket for the cold.... This is a fantastic jacket for the cold weather. The Omni Heat lining in the jacket works as advertised. I bought this in Black Plaid. It has a little too much green in it and could be a little more black, but still a great looking jacket. Very Happy! January 1, 2013
Great Product I had some discounts for the item, so for the price that I got it. This was great and I love the quality. It kept me warm throughout the winter season. THank You December 30, 2012
Great quality and value Once again Columbia wins our vote for great quality and so much value for the money. This great coat keeps you warm and dry in ANY ski conditions that come your way. Buy it. You won't regret it...or loan it out! December 29, 2012
the Best we have been buying columbia jackets for more than 11 years, I just donated my last jacket, because they are made to last forever. me and my wife just purchase new jackets and I recomend this jacket to anyone. December 29, 2012
great company / great product the tel people are very courteous, their ordering process is fast and the product is excellent. it is waterproof as stated and warm and has good length.I only wish the product was a bit lighter but once you wear it on, you don't notice the weight... December 26, 2012
This jacket is worth every dollar. Waterproof, wind protection and warmth. What more do you need. December 26, 2012
Fantastic All-Around Jacket This jacket is a fantastic product overall. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for the perfect winter jacket.Pros:- Very warm!- Windproof- Quality of materials- Fit is perfect- Versatility (3 jackets in 1, I can use the inner one during the fall/ spring!)-Very east jacket separation system - only 2 zippers and 3 snap locks, all very easy to handle.- Highly water resistant- Not bulky at all - great range of movement- Mystery/White color combination looks fantastic!Cons:- The interior Omni-Heat lining can stick to my skin (albeit slightly) if I sweat in the jacket a bit. Not a big problem, but just wanted to put it out there.As you can see, this jacket is a very versatile, warm, great looking jacket. For the price, it cannot be matched in quality, durability, or functionality. December 15, 2012
Great Feel I use this jacket skiing in the Canadian Rockies every weekend. Through hard snow and wind during early season conditions. The jacket performs beautifully. I stay warm and dry. December 13, 2012
Love my Whirlie Bird I love my coat.I am one of the coldest people in the world and I wore my coat on a very cold and windy day in Colorado while working at the DIA Airport. The wind chill made the temp -7 degrees. I was so warm on my upper body, but my legs and hands were freezing. So i bought the pants and gloves and base layer pants and hat. I am ready now for the cold working outside at the Airport. Thanks columbia. December 12, 2012
Teenage son loves it I bought this jacket for my son who is in high school and he loves it. He said its very practical and it keeps him dry and warm. December 12, 2012
Superior product This is a perfect product the shell is water and wind proof zips on and off quick and easily and has great pit zips when being worn separately. The interior softshell is stylish a great color and fits perfectly the only down side to the product is the interior jackets sleeves when you put it on the insides come out and you have to push them back in because of the lack of cuffs. December 11, 2012
When Playing the Devil's Advocate . . . I could have sworn that good advise was few and far between, even mine. But immediately after getting my Life - Buddy her Women's Whirlibird™ Interchange Jacket for winter; little did I know my criterion would rear its head . . . and voila his and her Whirlibird™ Jackets.

Like so many of you, we are devastated by the images coming from Japan, where whole villages have been washed away by the tsunami's that followed the largest earthquake in over a century. Millions of people are displaced and lack food, water and shelter…and it's winter. If this weren't enough, the threat of a nuclear meltdown looms. STS9 has an especially strong connection to Japan, where we have been blessed to travel many times, and been treated beyond kind. We pray that all our friends and fans and their families in Japan are safe and we wish you all well in the coming months as Japan recovers from this shocking tragedy. Please join us in doing what you can to support Japan relief. Starting WEDNESDAY 3/16 at MIDNIGHT, for 48 hours, 100% of the net revenue generated on STS9 MERCH and 1320/STS9 DOWNLOADS will be donated to Japan relief efforts. In addition, STS9 and their management will donate a sizable % of the sales total on top of your purchases!
::UPDATE:: Thanks to everyone who participated in STS9′s drive to raise funds for the victims of Japan's recent disasters. Over a 48-hour period, you fans purchased STS9 merchandise and music with all the net proceeds benefiting Japan relief. Matched by a donation from the band, we have sent a check for $1500.00 to the Red Cross!

Congress may have to consider a smaller highway-funding bill than initially planned because of a steep drop in revenue from the federal gasoline tax, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus said Thursday. [...] Lawmakers haven't reached a consensus on how to plug the gap. President Barack Obama and leading lawmakers have rejected increasing the 18.4-cent federal tax on a gallon of gas.
I wouldn't even necessarily mind this personally (even though it's dumb regardless) if not for the fact that these "highway bills" aren't really highway bills, they provide the meager funding streams the congress deigns to offer for most alternative transportation as well.
You don't win the future by cutting back on your physical infrastructure out of fear of taxing pollution. Just saying.

Ball of Fury
Ugh! This was a painful run right from the beginning...my ITB was so tight, I could feel it all the way down my leg. I gutted it out for 16 miles and then just couldn't take it anymore...there were involuntary tears running down my face ! So, I limp/wogged the mile home and called it quits. I was supposed to do 16 next weekend before the taper so hopefully, I can get my 20 miler in then. If it hadn't been for the ITBS, it would have been a good run. My average pace was 9:45 and I felt pretty good except for my right leg. I will be doing lots of foam rolling and stretching this week. The 16 puts me at 50 for the week, so not terrible. Sorry I don't have time for personals, we have to go take pictures before it gets dark...I am going to be in a calendar for my obstacle course racing team, which I find to be hilarious, but it's for charity so I will deal with it. Thanks for the encouragement guys and nice job on your runs/races.
PRs: 5K 22:59, 10K 46:54,HM: 1:51:15
I hope your ITB starts feeling better soon, Ami. Good luck with the recovery.
Do you even run?
Basya - Great job on the 17 miles!!
Docket - Congrats on the PR. I'll read the RR later.
I ran 4.5 @ 8:55. That's 72.8 miles for the week. That's an extra 9 minutes and .8 miles less than last week, but I'm not concerned about pace right now.
(((Ami))) I hope your ITB stops giving you trouble ASAP.
B-Plus, what a pace! I hope that I can make it there someday.
Bad Ass
Sorry to hear about your ITB.
I have been in bed most of the afternoon. The migraine I had at 5am came back with a vengeance. Hopefully it will alleviate before tonight. Dexter's season finale is on then.

Damaris Runs with Asthma
Not a dude
I did 2.28 this morning. I wanted to run more than that, but ran out of time. I spent most of yesterday doing birthday party stuff, so today I needed to get down to business on finishing up my last assignments that are due tonight. It will be nice to have one less thing on my plate.
Wickedly Average
Rain set in all day, and it's still coming down. I settled to 4 miles on the treadmill this afternoon, easy pace.
Tom (formerly known as PhotogTom)
Did you break your streak or have you been able to continue it? I know you had a day where you were debating whether to run. And how are you feeling? I saw the no more Nyquil post.
Ugh, Damaris I hope you have relief from the migraine soon.
FlippyNoodle, great job running today. I should be so motivated when I'm pressed for time.
Tom, when you do an easy run on the TM, do you stay at the same pace? Or do you gradually increase the speed as you continue?
Abs are done. Now, dinner and leafing through Supervixen for ways to tweak my weight training.

Can you send me a sixpack while you're at it?
Today marked day 26 in the streak. Unfortunately, my mileage is not what I would have liked and I have resorted to invoking the minimum more often than I planned, but those days would have been a big fat zero, so it's better than nothing. My nose is still a little stuffy, but I am feeling much better. Thanks for asking.

Three brothers, surgeon and wife remembered at Camp Chase
An agreement made more than 100 years ago between two opposing veterans of the Civil War promised to care for the resting place and remember the men who paid the ultimate sacrifice. This tradition continues through the Hilltop Historical Society's (HHS) rememberance of 2,000 men buried at the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery, 2900 Sullivant Ave. The 117th Memorial of Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery is June 10 at 3 p.m. According to Monty Chase, member of the HHS and descendent of the cemetery's namesake, each year a member of the Union and Confederate military is remembered. This year remembers three brothers who fought together, were captured together, died within a week of each other, and were buried at the cemetery in January 1865. Jacob, James and John Kelly were from Coffee County, Ala. They were captured in 1864 and brought to the camp during one of the coldest and cruelest winters in Columbus, Chase said. That month almost 500 soldiers died at the camp. Union soldier Albert Greene Longwell and his assistant and wife, Cordelia Eaton Longwell, are also remembered. After an accident left his spine and bowels twisted, Albert was sent to the camp in 1863 to work as a surgeon. According to Margaret Chase, written accounts on both sides of the war showed deep appreciation and affection for Albert and Cordelia. To ensure the wounded and sick were well cared for, Albert was closely exposed to the camp's rampant diseases. He became fatally ill from typhoid malaria in 1865. Margaret said hours of research uncovered these stories. Margaret and Monty examine historical documents, genealogy websites, letters and books. The research also helped locate descendents. Stewart Mock, relative of the Kelly brothers, is attending the memorial. Georgia Fleming could not leave her Alabama home, but submitted words to be read about her great-great-great-uncle, Jacob. West High alumnus Paul Clay, and great-great-newphew of Albert, will speak on behalf of his family. Clay has been active in the HHS. In the late 1990s he organized a re-enactment of a Camp Chase style encampment. The information on the Longwells was researched and recorded years ago by Clay. The Sons of Union Veterans and Sons of Confederate Veterans C.W. will also be present. The Spotlight Repertory Troupe from the Imaginating Dramatics Company will perform songs from Jill Eliot's "Kids, Courage and the Civil War." Throughout the afternoon the Ohio Civil War Brass Band will perform. John Huffman, band director for Waverly City Schools, will lead the "Star Spangled Banner" as it was performed during the Civil War.

About this encyclopediaComputer Games
Daniel P. Auld & Fran C. Blumberg & Tracy M. Hogan
According to Greenfield (1994), computer and video games may be seen as cultural artifacts that provide vehicles for cognitive socialization of the children that play them. That is, media-based games may create venues in which to enhance cognitive skills and computer literacy. For example, the playing of computer games has been linked to enhanced spatial skills, such as mental rotation and computer-readiness skills among young children. Unlike video games, computer games tend to serve more of an educational goal. For example, the instructional value of computer games has been long recognized by the military as an intrinsically motivating and relatively inexpensive vehicle by which to introduce trainees to new skills and content (Ricci, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 1996). Educators have also acknowledged the advantages of the computer game environment over the traditional classroom environment for facilitating learning and for transfer of skills and content gained outside the game context (Koedinger, 2001; ...

Memorial Day Weekend Las Vegas: Rules on Partying with the Ballers
Memorial Day weekend is but right around the corner (Literally) and everybody...
Last night Laura Govan, Gilbert Arena's wife/mother of his children, threw a "Welcome to LA" Party for the Basketball Wives: LA Season kickoff.
I still haven't decided if I will tune in, since this show clearly holds no substance and has fell short from actually starring "wives". Hmph. I suppose I may tune in just to watch their miserable lives. *shrugs.
Appears as though Laura's sister Gloria Govan didn't attend the party but check out more pics from the party and learn who these girls are when you continue on.
Tanya Williams, ex-wife of Jason Williams, who like 3 of the other men threatened with a lawsuit to keep her off the show. Clearly, the threat didn't work.
Jackie Christie who we've seen a few times chatting it up with Gloria and Shaunie in LA is the wife of ex NBA player Doug Christie.
Here's Laura Govan, Gilbert Arena Baby mother, and Draya Face, an ex stripper/vixen who somehow got casted because she was one of Shannon Brown's jumpoffs. -____- I'm sure VH1 threw in a babysitter deal for Draya who has a 7-year-old son who she was arrested for child endangerment over after leaving him home alone overnight while she worked her job at the strip club. Doesn't she sound just grand.
Cast member Malaysia Pargo was also there.

BAXTER - While it may seem shovels are more useful than rakes, Baxter is gaining ground on plans for the spring cleanup leaf disposal.
Gas up those snowblowers. This winter storm just got a little more serious.
When the sirens sound today, even though it seems more like winter than spring, it's a reminder severe thunderstorm weather is around the corner. The statewide drills at 1:45 p.m.
This latest storm may be packing a bigger punch than originally expected. The National Weather Service increased the snowfall predictions in the Brainerd lakes area to 4-8 inches by the time the storm has run its course on Friday.
People gathered in numerous spots Tuesday night in Boston for candlelight vigils.
BAXTER - Plans for additions to Baxter's Whipple Beach have taken on new wrinkles. At Tuesday's Baxter City Council meeting the city heard the people behind the Whipple Beach inclusive playground project are interested in modifying the playground plan.
BAXTER - A building project for Forestview Middle School was approved at Tuesday's Baxter City Council meeting. The building project is moving the school district's food distribution center from leased space to the school's site.
BAXTER - Expect dirt-moving equipment to be operating soon for another medical clinic in Baxter.
BAXTER - Potholes may not be worse this year even if they seem jarring on city streets, but the melt and then freezing temperatures overnight aren't helping existing woes.
A spring storm may add to snow shovelers' woes as another system tracks into Minnesota. The National Weather Service in Duluth reported a spring storm, which could be dumping a foot of snow in Colorado and the Rockies, should be moving this way.

The supply of apartments to British tourists is becoming less profitable for the major tour operators in the British tourism market.
The low profit margins have forced operators to consider reducing non-hotel accommodation by around 30% for next winters season.
The major British tour operators plan to terminate their contracts with many of the non-hotel accommodation suppliers next winter. The main reason for this expected cut in the bookings of apartment accommodation is in the shrinking profit margin generated by the apartments for the large operators such as Thomas Cook and Tui.
Operators claim that say that "apartments that are rented for between €25 and €30 only generate a commission of $3 to $5, even less when you take into consideraation the development of the brochuresm commissions for the travel agents, etc…".

Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 4
Scientist-theologians who write about TE also think about creation and theodicy in terms of divine "kenosis" and eschatology. So today we'll conclude our "implications" section by returning to creational theology, and then turn to the ways TEs re-think Adam and Eve in light of human evolution.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 2

Anyone interested in the faith and science conversation knows that there currently is considerable, heated debate over the problem of "Adam." I'd like to suggest that this argument is in significant ways misplaced.

Yo everyone! an old newbie citizen is here! not sure if someone knows me 9(>_>) Well it's been a while ever since i made a new wallpaper m... i think its been 1-2 years since i wasn't able to create a new wallie...
well anyway i'm sure my walling skills are kinda rusty and i'm back with noob skills ehehe so i'm sorry if you expect something new and much better than my previous walls. _(._.)_
Well enough of those things, lets go to my crappy wallie nyahaha! As i observed in this generation all i can see are VECTORS and vectors.. and there are now few wallies created with painting and even abstract bgs.. but anyway thats what is "IN" right now are VECTORED wallies and i really hate myself how come i still dont know how to VECTOR dammit! ;( )..
PROCESS: I've used 2 softwares to make the reconstruct & re-painted the bg, first i used Photoshop CS and then shifted to Painter.
actually i've done this December 2008 & almost forgot to submit it here ^_^' but anyway its here! I reconstruct some parts and started to paint the sides of the scan, as you can see i'm still not good in painting clouds and i dont know who to make some puffy and swirly clouds *checks the tutorial how to make one* followed the color combinations of the sky and clouds to fit with the scan, I've used some smudges and some blurs. I painted some look alike islands below and you can see the totally and out of place islands ahaha ^_^' Next is painted the yellow glowy orbs since the scan has few of it & you may see the difference coz of its grainness. The layers are kinda many and most of them i merged it. As you can see there are still grainess from the scan and i've tried to make the scan sharper to remove it though i guess there are still some left from the scan ehehe ^_^'
Well I'm still not good in painting clouds and stuffs but since i have some cool painting softwares i'll do my best to make and create painted walls (XD) Damn, i'm not really good in explaining stuffs since i haven't submitted for so long, I hope i could still create walliesoften just like the old times but being on a waller's block for a long time i'm not sure if i can create another one, but anyway Comments and such are really appreciated for an old noob. 9(>_>)
Thats all and thanks comments & such! alss for reading a loooooong description.. (x_x)

Magee for Rogers, straight up. Per Steve Goff via SI.
It kind of glosses over the US Open Cup loss here, but yes, the Sounders are better than Dallas at CenturyLink.
A little graphic by our friends over at PST.
"I think there's a good chance he'll be in the 18," Vermes said. "But if you're asking if he's starting, I'm telling you no."
Sigi Schmid's final pre-game video indicates that Alonso is back and that's a good thing.
As the Sounders prepare to take on Sporting KC this Wednesday, I thought I'd share this... A few months ago, a Sporting KC fan was kind enough to post a video of the shootout from the USOC final. If you can bear to watch it again, make sure you pause at both 5:44 and 6:44 and compare. Both keepers were equally off their lines when they made the saves. Ricardo Salazar gifted the cup to KC. Also, technically last year's USOC final goes down as a game that ended in a tie. A penalty shootout followed afterward to decide a cup winner. Bottom line, Seattle is still undefeated in Sporting Park. That won't change on Wednesday.
Sigi Schmid says that Eddie is back and Oba may be back soon.

Dell Launches New, Power-Efficient Blade Servers
Published: January 23, 2008
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
PC and server maker Dell was getting kicked around in the IT sector throughout 2006 and 2007, but 2008 might be shaping up to be a year of recovery for the company. Dell has competitive market share in the entry X64 server market, but has been an also-ran in the blade server space dominated by IBM and Hewlett-Packard. The new PowerEdge M series blade chassis and related X64 blade servers could get Dell its rightful share of the blade space, which should account for around $5 billion in sales in 2008.
The new Dell blade servers will be marketed with the same mantras that other blade server makers have tried over the past seven years--simplifying infrastructure configuration and management as well as ending sprawl in the data center through consolidation, virtualization, and density. Energy efficiency is also going to be a big selling point. According to the tech specs of the new PowerEdge M1000e chassis, Dell can get the power supplies inside the box to run at between 88 percent and 91 percent efficiency when loaded up with between 20 percent and 60 percent of the peak loading on the power supplies in the box--the latter being the typical loading for enterprise customers using Dell's current PowerEdge 1955 blade servers. But in that same loading range, the PowerEdge 1955's power supplies run at a much lower efficiency (particularly under lighter loads), although they do get more efficient as the load rises and eventually match that of the new power supplies used in the M1000e chassis at 100 percent of power load. The difference in efficiency may not seem like a lot, unless you are a data center that is at maximum power and cooling.
The new M1000e chassis is a 10U form factor, rack-mounted box that can hold up to two rows of 8 half-height blade servers, for a total 16 blades in the front of the box. It looks a lot like HP's c7000 chassis, in fact, which is even funnier when you consider that Rick Becker, vice president of blade servers at HP, and Brad Anderson, general manager of its Industry Standard Server division, are both ex-HPers.
But anyway. The M1000e box has room for three power supplies rated at 2,360 watts, and a total of six power supplies can be added to the chassis if customers want spare supplies to protect against outages caused by failures. The power supplies are not just efficient--anything above 90 percent is state of the art--but also have a new feature called Dynamic Power Supply Engagement, which puts the power supply into standby mode and allows blades and networking gear to draw power from loaded supplies. Increasing the load on one power supply increases its efficiency, and shutting down other supplies in the chassis reduces the overall electricity usage in the box, which in turn creates less heat and requires less cooling. It is a bit of a bummer that the power supplies run on 200 volt power input, not normal 110/120 volt power. That pretty much restricts the M1000e chassis and its blades to data centers and places that have been wired for 220/240-volt power. The blade chassis does not have separate storage modules, as do new 120-volt blade chasses, aimed at small and medium businesses, from Intel, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard.
The M1000e currently only supports half-height blades, but the design will allow Dell to plug in up to 8 full height blades. (Such as when Advanced Micro Devices gets quad-core "Barcelona" Opteron 8000 series chips out the door in late Q1 or early Q2 or when Dell sees the wisdom of putting Intel's "Tigerton" Xeon 7300 series chips, which can cram 16 cores into a single system image, on a blade as well.) Dell could also, like IBM, do a double-wide blade server implementation; this is how IBM does four-socket SMP configurations with its LS41 blade server, which is two LS21 blades connected by an Opteron HTX HyperTransport link. The M1000e costs $5,999, which is a lot for an empty box, if you think about it. (And perfectly in line with the exorbitant pricing IBM and HP have for the chasses.) Dell's prior design, the PowerEdge 1955, put 10 two-socket blades in a 7U chassis.
The PowerEdge M1000e chassis can be equipped with two different blade servers. The first is the M600, which is a two-socket blade server based on Intel's 5000P chipset. This blade supports Intel's dual-core "Woodcrest" Xeon 5100s and quad-core "Clovertown" Xeon 5300s, which are based on the Woodcrest core (Intel's second-generation Core microarchitecture design), as well as the new "Penryn" cores used in the quad-core "Harpertown" Xeon 5400s, just announced as 2007 was coming to a close, and the future quad-core "Wolfdale" dual-core Xeon 5200s. Dell is supporting Xeon chips that range in speed from 2 GHz to 3.16 GHz in this blade. The M600 blade has 8 fully buffered DIMM slots running at 667 MHz, and supports up to 32 GB of main memory using 4 GB DIMMs; Dell says that it plans to support 8 GB DIMMs in this blade as well, when they become more cost-effective, boosting memory to 64 GB. Practically speaking, from an economics point of view, most customers will probably go cheap and only put 8 GB of main memory on the boards, using 1 GB DIMMs. Even 2 GB DIMMs radically raise the price.
Each blade has its own local disk storage, and Dell is using energy-efficient 2.5-inch SAS drives spinning at 10K RPM or 15K RPM or 2.5-inch SATA drives spinning at 7200 RPM. The SAS drives are very expensive, too, but they use a lot less energy than 3.5-inch drives do. The disk drives are hot pluggable, and slide into the front of the blade, which in turn slides into the front of the M1000e chassis; they are operated by an integrated disk controller, which supports RAID 1 mirroring. These drives are not intended to do real work, but just store local operating system images. A lot of customers, particularly those virtualizing their PowerEdge environments, are going to be more interested in an iSCSI or Fibre Channel storage area network that is shared by all the blades. That is less money for disks, less heat in the blades, and more flexibility in the virtual environment. Each blade also has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and can have a second Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel card plugged into the two PCI-Express x8 peripheral slots on the blade.
The base configuration of the M600 blade that Dell is trying to sell on its Web store comes with a single quad-core Xeon 5310 processor running at 1.6 GHz, a single 1 GB FB-DIMM, two 36 GB 15K RPM SAS drives. This configuration costs $3,897, without an operating system. With two 3 GHz Xeon E5450s, 8 GB of main memory (using only four slots, leaving room for expansion), and the two SAS disks drives, the price goes up to $7,024.
The other two-socket blade being offered with the M1000e chassis is the M605 blade server, which is based on AMD's Opteron 2000 series of chips and which uses nVidia's MCP55 chipset. The M605 blade is currently configured with the dual-core "Santa Rosa" Rev F designs, the Opteron 2200s. As soon as the Barcelona Opteron 2300 series of quad-core processors is available from AMD, they will plug right into this M605 blade. Dell is selling Opteron 2200s that range in speed from 2.2 GHz and 3 GHz, and is also offering standard 95-watt parts as well as the 68-watt Opteron HE parts. The M605 blade has 8 DDR2 memory slots, for a maximum of 32 GB, just like the M600 Intel-based blade, and will similarly support 64 GB of main memory when 8 GB DDR2 DIMMs are available. The M605 has the same peripheral expansion as the M600.
The base M605 blade that Dell is selling has a single Opteron 2214HE running at 2.2GHz, 1 GB of memory, and two 36 GB SAS drives spinning at 15K RPM; it costs $3,897. Cranking up to two Opteron 2222 processors running at 3 GHz and boosting memory to 8 GB (again, using only four slots), costs $6,315.
Dell is factory installing a variety of operating systems as well as VMware's virtual machine hypervisor on these boxes--not just Windows. Specifically, the M600 and M605 blades support Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 R2 (both 32-bit ands 64-bit variants of Standard and Enterprise Editions), Red Hat's Enterprise Linux 4 and 5, Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10. VMware's ESX Server 3.0 and 3.5 hypervisors are also supported.

Bruno Senna concedes he needs to have a good season with Williams as his link up with the team brings memories of his uncle Ayrton to the fore.
It was while racing for Williams in 1994 that triple World Champion Ayrton Senna tragically lost his life at the San Marino Grand Prix.
Now his nephew is set to race for Frank Williams' team, having signed a one-year deal with the midfield outfit.
But joining on the back of Williams' worst season ever in Formula One, 28-year-old Bruno admits he needs a good campaign - not only for the team but also to show people that he is worthy of the Senna legacy.
"It is important for me to be myself," Senna told the Daily Mail. "But for me, the name carries a very important legacy for the people, and for the country of Brazil.
"I know the difficulties, and the great responsibility with this name, because it evokes memories of Ayrton and excellence.
"It is very important for me not to damage the image, so the pressure is high; but this is a good pressure, not bad.
"When you get inspiration from a Champion, a very complete Champion, you can apply areas of this to your life. Even though Ayrton wasn't there any more, he left me with a philosophy I have never forgotten."
As for his decision to sign with Williams, which came after he failed to secure a race-seat with Lotus-Renault, Senna said: "Fortunately, I was talking with Williams by then.
"They tested me against all parameters, technical and physical, before telling me I had the drive.
"It's a privilege to be with a team of so much heritage and history; it's also so special for me to be part of a team where Ayrton had been."
However, the Brazilian admits he is going to need a good season in order to retain his place with his new team.
"This is the biggest year of my life. I hope I can convince the team to sign me beyond this season."

Social and economic rights lawyering: theories and practices of developmental social change in sub-Saharan Africa
This project seeks to develop a theoretical framework, a systematizing typology, and an empirical case analysis evaluation of a recent practice reflective of the rights-based approach to development: socio-economic rights lawyering. This practice, most often related to social change and "development as freedom" normative objectives, includes a variety of cause lawyering tools including targeted legal aid programs, developmental rights impact litigation, or community action and legal empowerment approaches. The project will use a case study approach to investigate the theories of change and assess the lawyering practices of selected organizations operating in three African countries. The underlying argument this project seeks to develop is that socio-economic rights lawyering can enhance the poor's ability to take control over decisions affecting their lives in developing countries, provided first that its practice is based on a pragmatic approach to lawyering, rather than a rigid formalistic or non-formalistic conceptual model, and that it is informed by local, national and international political economy considerations, as well as by empirical analysis.

Leonard Bernstein's Mass is massive. And massively odd. I thought I had prepared myself for what was in store before this piece's Proms debut on Monday, but actually I hadn't. Maybe there isn't really anything that can prepare you for the sight of several hundred Welsh singers, many of primary school age, gently boogying to the sounds of an orchestral frenzy, after singing a Latin translation of Psalm 130. And any work which rhymes "praying" with "Kyrie-ing" is always going to raise eyebrows, whether you know what's going on or not.
