Despite all the chatter about how the Great Recession is finally over, many small-business owners aren't feeling it yet. In fact, although the National Federation of Independent Business reports that confidence among American business owners reached a three-year high in January, many are still cautious about hiring and spending. And if your business still seems to be on the trailing end of the much-touted recovery, you may be looking for ways to take control of your financial future this year.
With reduced resources to hire and train staff, pay outside contractors and also increase productivity, many small-business owners are turning to technology to help them bridge the gap between what they need and what they can afford. If 2011 is your year to regain financial footing for your small business, here are five key areas where technology can help:
1. Reduce costs and save money
Greater efficiency means less wasted time and money. Complex filing systems packed into space-eating cabinets are more obsolete every year as continually advancing technology makes preserving documents easier and faster. Are you making the most of the technology available to you in this area? Ensure your computers and network are organized in such a way so that you can quickly find important documents, pictures, email and programs.
2. Network security
From credit card numbers to personal identifying information of employees and clients, a small business's network can be a treasure trove for cyber criminals. The best way to protect your company's computer networks - and the personal, financial and client-related information they contain - is with technology that blocks malicious cyber attacks and safeguards sensitive information.
3. Accessing information remotely
Customers expect businesses to be able to provide real-time information - from quotes and pricing to project timelines and scope - at the click of a button. Small businesses can now equip their field workers with devices such as laptops, netbooks and smartphones to help them respond quickly and efficiently to customer inquiries. Networked information, remotely accessible from a variety of mobile devices, is an important step to ensuring that employees can provide customers with the most up-to-date, accurate information available, regardless of where they are.
4. Green initiatives
Environmental awareness has become widely recognized in the business world as the right thing to do, as well as something that makes good business sense. Reducing energy consumption and paper waste not only helps the environment, but it also can save your small business money. Technology supports green initiatives by helping businesses cut the amount of paperwork they generate and use less power to operate.
5. Increase workplace productivity
Software designed to improve business efficiency can help small-business owners and their staff members improve workplace productivity. When workers spend less time navigating through computer systems, they have more time to invest in serving customers and streamlining processes. From accounting programs that make payroll generation a breeze to online applications that allow businesses to accept customer payments via the Internet, technology can allow you to improve productivity.
With technology allowing small businesses to accomplish more, improve efficiency and focus on customers rather than on processes, small-business owners may find they really have reason to be optimistic about the economy in 2011.

A fatal crash at eastbound I-10 and Baseline closed the freeway for about an hour on Tuesday morning.
A vehicle struck the right wall and then the left wall of the eastbound I-10, where it came to rest, according to Bart Graves with the Department of Public Safety.
Witnesses tell DPS it looked like no one was driving the car, leading them to believe the person may have had a medical emergency that caused the crash.
Graves says the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bishop Basil and Bishop Antoun Report On Damascus Trip
Recently, a group of five Antiochian Bishops traveled to Damascus to meet with His Beatitude Ignatius IV, Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, about a February 24th decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch affecting the status of the bishops in North America.
Following that meeting, Matthew Namee, host of the new podcast American Orthodox History, spent some time talking with His Grace Bishop Basil of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America. You can read a report from His Grace Bishop Antoun of the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast on the Antiochian web site HERE.

The NFL refuted a report by the Chicago Sun-Times and said the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame game between the Bears and Rams is still scheduled to be played.
Mike Mulligan of the Chicago Sun-Times cited two sources Friday evening saying the game had already been canceled.
League spokesman Greg Aiello said that report was not true.
Joe Horrigan, the Hall of Fame's vice president of communications and exhibits, told NFL Network's Albert Breer that the Hall "had not heard it was canceled, so we contacted Greg Aiello through email ourselves, and he replied that (the Sun-Times report) was not true. Everything, as far as we know, is the same as it was."
Immense progress was made between the owners and players on Thursday and Friday, making a new labor deal all but a certainty this upcoming week, with owners likely ratifying the Collective Bargaining Agreement at their July 21 meeting in Atlanta.
In that timeline, training camp could open on July 28. Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz told The Associated Press last week that the Bears would need just one day to be ready for the game.
Horrigan said the 10-day Hall of Fame festival has an economic impact of $30 million on the region.
"We would lose a three-hour window of prime-time TV, with an audience of 10 million, to promote the Hall of Fame," Horrigan told Breer about the consequences of the game being canceled. "That's one area where we can annually promote the Hall."

It is our belief that God's mission in the world is to reconcile all things to the Crucified Lord. Our responsibility is to join in this work.
Gordon College has a long history of service both domestically and abroad. Today that tradition continues through foreign and domestic missions and service learning trips. These trips are sponsored by the Chapel Office and are all student-led/staff-advised and motivated by an evangelical and humanitarian spirit. Each trip has its own mission and each team its own character. These trips have been, and will continue to be, an extremely meaningful and memorable time for those who participate, and represent unique opportunities for individuals to grow in their knowledge of God, the world, self, and others.
Here are the mission trips offered this year:
(Summer 2014)
In May and June our team will be working with the community of Bulembu, Swaziland, a small country located within South Africa. Swaziland has one of the highest AIDs prevalence rates in the world, a negative population growth, and a life expectancy of only 32. In 2006, a team of entrepreneurs and social developers purchased the abandoned town with a clear vision – restore Bulembu to a vibrant, self sustaining community by the year 2020. We will be helping them fulfill this vision, serving in a variety of ways, such as: orphan care, teaching in schools, landscape and building projects, and economic development.
Leaders TBD
(Summer 2014)
Our team will spend time with three different organizations in India: Bapatla Children's Home and Bharti Integrated Rural Development Society (BIRDS) in Andhra Predesh, and Visthar in Bangalore.
These organizations work with orphans, girls at risk for temple prostitution, peace and reconciliation studies, and the rights and needs of the rural Dalit people. We will learn about some of the problems and challenges facing India, have the opportunity to learn from some incredible people, and work with children through VBS, teaching English and helping with other needs.
Leaders TBD
(Summer 2014)
Our team will spend four weeks in South-Eastern China, sometime towards the end of the summer (July-August). Our time will be split between working with a Church founded by American Missionaries in Guangdong and volunteering at a leper colony located on an island off the coast of Guangzhou. We will spend a little over a week with the church, engaging local culture, leading small groups, and participating in church outreach programs. Afterwards, we will spend several weeks on the leper island ministering to the residents, cleaning and painting the facilities, and providing medical aid to the people living there.
For more information contact the team leaders: Landon Butler and Christy Ly
(Winter Break)
This winter, we will be travelling to Montego Bay, Jamaica, for a week to work with CCCD, a group that houses and educates deaf people in Jamaica. Due to a lack of deaf education in Jamaica, deaf individuals are unable to learn, communicate or work. Through CCCD, they are taught sign language and trained to work in a particular trade, such as carpentry or sewing. As a result, they are better equipped to move out into the world and live independent lives. Our team will be participating in work projects and helping the school with afterschool activities.
To contact a team leader email: Sarah Bryer and Matthew Kimm
(Winter Break)
Mexico Outreach is a short-term missions opportunity to serve in Tijuana, Mexico. For over a decade Gordon has been building a partnership with La Casa de Esperanza, an orphanage located outside the city. As we return each year, our hope is to be ambassadors of God's love to all those we encounter. Our prayer is to grow in humility and cultural sensibility as we seek to better understand the global body of Christ.
To contact a team leader email: Angela Munoz or Dominic Dantona
(Winter Break)
Over winter break students will spend time partnering with an organization called 174 Trust in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Trust is a non-denominational Christian organization seeking to provide a space for community reconciliation in North Belfast. Students will potentially meet with politicians, local leaders, youth groups and members of the Trust, all working towards social peace in Northern Ireland.
To contact a team leader email: Trey Walsh or Rachel Frazee
(Winter Break)
Picture this: Winter Break, San Diego. Our team will work with a local immigrant church: serving others, living in community, and taking part in God's love of the immigrant community in southern California by diving into the issues surrounding immigration in the United States—while staying only 12 miles from the US–Mexico Border.
Are you interested? Contact one of the team leaders: Rachel Henderson and Trevor Hinshaw
(Winter Break)
Gordon students involved in World Focus will spend the last two weeks of winter break serving in Latin America partnering with local churches. The primary focus will be building relationships.

Students will also have the opportunity to learn about the culture, history, and religion of the country.
To contact a team leader email: Shanell Percy and Ronesha Williams
(Spring Break)
This team will continue Gordon's partnership with Mack Avenue Community Church in inner-city Detroit, exploring how to live the gospel in this troubled urban context. The team will work with Pastor Leon Stevenson, former Resident Director at Gordon College and now one of the pastors at MACC with various ministry projects. (See Pastor Stevenson's chapel address from the spring of 2010: click here). Along with being involved in outreach work and service projects, our team will also learn about Detroit, it's culture and God's great work in it through the testimonies of the people of MACC. Ultimately we will seek to glorify God by learning from His work, serving alongside and fellowshipping with our brothers and sisters in Detroit, and by bringing a renewed sense of His vision back to Gordon.
To contact a team leader email: Udoka Obiora and Paula Gomes
(Spring Break)
Following the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the historic (and often racist) tension between Haiti and the Dominican Republic grew as Haitians seeking refuge flooded to their neighboring country. This region's story has particular importance for us in the Boston area as many of our immigrant neighbors are Haitian or Dominican. Join us this March in the Dominican Republic to learn more about the problems and promise inherent in this island nation and to serve alongside our friends at a Haitian church and school in San Pedro de Macoris.
To contact a team leader email: Josh Lopez or Kate Nooney.
ECHO Farm
(Spring Break)
Since the early 1980's, Gordon has sent work teams during Spring Break to volunteer on the ECHO farm in North Fort Myers, Florida. ECHO's Mission is to equip people with resources and skills to reduce hunger and improve the lives of the poor. ECHO's Vision is to honor God through sustainable hunger solutions. Be a part of that vision and join our work team this year.

(Spring Break)
This team will spend spring break building homes for families in need in Haiti. We will work alongside Partners in Development (PID), an organization that has been working in Haiti for over 20 years. Come join us for some hard work that will make a big difference in the lives of homeless families in this beautiful but earthquake ravaged country.
To contact a team leader email: Courtney Gingras and Jean-Paul Mannon
(Spring Break)
Our team will be going to Canton, Mississippi to serve with In His Steps Ministries. "In His Steps is a Christian non-profit organization whose mission is to use innovative and specialized ministries to impact the lives of people for the glory of God, specifically to at risk children, juvenile offenders, and their families" in a poverty-stricken area marked by racial tension. We serve with them in a variety of ways, including small construction projects, painting homes, general labor, and activities with children in the community.
To contact a team leader email: Moriah O'Neil and Jesse Brooks
(Spring Break)
The Nicaragua missions trip is a service learning trip over spring break.

The majority of the trip is spent at CICRIN, an orphanage on the island of Ometepe. Our stay will involve connecting with the children and staff of CICRIN and members of the local church community, working on various construction projects, and immersing ourselves in the culture of Nicaragua.
To contact a team leader email: Megan Wolfe and Frank Letizia
(Spring Break)
We are excited to continue the partnership between Gordon's Missions program and the city of Portland, Maine. Our team will partner with the Root Cellar, an organization that is committed to community development, and will explore different racial and socio-economic tensions that exist in our own backyard. This trip will attempt to discover how we can serve as a local extension of the Kingdom while learning more about, and from, Portland's vast immigrant population, whose culture is so different from our own. On this trip we hope to foster a generative relationship with the Root Cellar that will continue for years to come.
To contact the team leader email: Brett Olson
(Spring Break)
We're excited to extend Gordon's mission program to Reading, a small city in southeastern PA with a large immigrant population. In Reading we hope to show Christ's love by supporting organizations and projects that are already accomplishing great things in the city, as well as by learning about the city and the people who live there. This trip will focus on serving these organizations and fostering a relationship between them and Gordon.
For more information contact one of the trip leaders: Sarah-Kate Boyd and Elizabeth Norcini

Earlier this week, I wrote about the possible antidepressant effects of semen in women. A 2002 study by psychologist Gordon Gallup hypothesizes that the vagina absorbs a host of mood-boosting hormones contained in semen, which makes women feel better. This would make it seem like vaginas and semen are BFFs, right?
Well, according to Dr. Gallup himself, that isn't the case. In fact, vaginas don't take too kindly sperm, and semen contains chemicals to neutralize sperm-attacking pathogens in the vagina. Speaking to Popular Science, Gallup said:
"The vagina is a very hostile environment for sperm. When a female is inseminated, the presence of the semen triggers an immune reaction, so semen—and particularly the sperm—are treated as pathogens. Male seminal plasma contains all kinds of chemicals that are designed to take this into account. Seminal plasma is alkaline, and a couple seconds after ejaculation the pH of the vagina approaches neutrality, which makes it a friendly environment for sperm. Sperm also contains a lot of immunosuppressants that suppress the female's immune system and counteract this immune reaction to semen."
PopSci explains this antagonistic sperm-vagina relationship as an example of antagonistic coevolution. "In nature's sex wars, males campaign for more offspring—the proverbial seed-spreading—while females play hard-to-get because they bear most of the burden of reproduction and parenthood. "

Older news are also available.
The OpenSync project is an ongoing effort to create a synchronization framework that will be a platform independent, general purpose synchronization engine utilizing modular plugins for content formats and different kind of connection types. OpenSync's modularity should allow it to be extended easily to new devices and purposes without radically changing the architecture itself, allowing it to support wide variety of devices used today and in the future.
Even being a general purpose framework that keeps the doors open for many use cases, OpenSync's main and most practical goal is to create a solution to synchronize PIM (Personal Information Management - addressbook contacts, calendar events and tasks, personal notes, etc) data between mobile devices like mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant), desktop computer PIM tools and -services.
OpenSync is a successor of project Multisync, created by the same people. Multisync's development stalled and it is no longer maintained, so users using it should look to upgrade to OpenSync when possible. The combined project history of these projects is long and currently the future looks bright for achieving the original goals.
There is a introduction in the form of a presentation from FOSDEM 2007.
For Users
For Developers
The goals of OpenSync
- Provide a framework that can be used for general synchronization
- Reusability. The framework should be usable by many applications
- Speed. Synchronization should be as fast as possible.
- Flexibility. We cannot predict what formats / devices the future will bring. Therefore OpenSync is built as flexible and modular as possible.
- Integrity. Data must never be lost, no matter what happens.
- Portability. The framework should run on as many platforms as possible (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, BSD, etc)
- Language neutral. OpenSync is extensible in using other languages like python, java and even more.
- No dependencies on an X-server. OpenSync is a library that can be embedded into other applications. Therefore it is possible to use GUIs, CLIs or whatever you can imagine.
How can you help us?
- Test the trunk before the 0.40 gets released
- Write, improve the documentation

Emergency manager are two poisonous words in Detroit politics right now, yet they are the two most powerful words in the city's cataclysmic financial conversation.
With last week's financial report showing the widening financial crisis of the city, and the escalating crime rate reducing Detroit to a killing field, it's hard to imagine how the city can extricate itself once and for all from the malaise of economic hardship and public safety nightmare it is already in without the requisite soul searching and bold action needed to get Detroit back on track. Because Detroit cannot continue borrowing to pay its own bills, the city faces a series of choices for financial recovery including an emergency manager, mediation, consent agreement and bankruptcy.
But the most obvious reality that some are now resigned to is the real possibility of an emergency manager running the city — for at least a year — to get the city's books in order before the return to representative democracy.
For critics of the revised emergency manager law, this is the worst that could happen to Detroit's democratic system of governance, where the long tradition of home rule and the right to self-determination has guided electoral politics.
Mindful of this political minefield, Gov. Rick Snyder, and his Lansing team that includes State Treasurer Andy Dillon, have been walking a fine line to ensure that none of their actions in Detroit's financial recovery is interpreted as a state takeover. That has led supporters of an emergency manager for Detroit to conclude that the state is babysitting Detroit's financial crisis and at the same time playing fiddle. Detroit needs a strong surgical operation into its finances if the city cannot get its books in order, EM supporters say.
Everyone agrees that the city of Detroit has massive structural problems that have engulfed its financial wellbeing. And the current financial review that's under way, the first step to determine an emergency manager, will further show how decades-long problems have been left unsolved, leading to this point.
And if Detroit goes the route of an emergency manager, who will that person be?
It will be the most significant position in the city in decades because of not only the enhanced powers of that individual, but also the political seismic shift that occurs instantly once the person is installed.
Also because that person will always be in the political crosshairs of all debates about the future of the city, and the public outrage about an EM as well as outbursts about the ineffectiveness of Detroit's government.
Because of that, it appears "play it safe" has been the guiding rule for the deciders of the EM with the careful circulation of names that are familiar in Detroit politics such as former deputy mayor and mayoral candidate Freman Hendrix, former mayoral candidate and municipal executive Charlie Beckham, former Coleman Young veteran Charlie Williams as possible candidates for EM.
These names are being thrown around to guage public reaction and its unclear if, in fact, any of them would emerge as emergency manager for Detroit if the city gets to that point.
Beckham ran the mayoral campaign of Mayor Dave Bing and left the administration shortly after.
Some sources have said Lansing has been constantly talking with Beckham who's been a leading critic of the Bing administration's recent approach to overhaul of the city's finances.
In numerous interviews Beckham has been intimating that Detroit's cumbersome problems were too overwhelming for the mayor and that a mammoth political institution like Detroit requires tough choices that may not be politically expedient.
In the past Beckham has said he is only offering an honest and strong cure for the city's finances and that there was noting personal between him and Mayor Bing whom he says he still plays golf with. It will be interesting to see how a once insider who helped orchestrate the Bing era now stands as a possible succcessor to Bing, but in the form of an emergency manager.
Hendrix, when contacted, said no one from Lansing, including the governor's office, talked to him about being an emergency manager for Detroit.
But another name that keeps coming up is Detroit City Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown.
Brown, a former deputy police chief whose entanglement with the administration of Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and his court vindication, contributed greatly to the downfall of that regime, rose to political power as a victim of the follies and failures of the Kilpatrick era.
When I contacted Brown Monday afternoon to ask whether he's talking to the state treasurer and the governor about becoming Detroit's emergency manager his response was, "I'm not in favor of an emergency manager."
Further asked if he will accept the job should Dillon appoint him, he only said he has "not been asked," without saying what his response would be.
Pressed further on the matter, Brown said he is "not going to speculate on something that has not happened."
The Brown factor becomes even more interesting given his close ties with Dillon whom he endorsed for governor when the former Democratic House speaker was seeking to become Michigan's next governor. Brown was reportedly on Dillon's short list for lieutenant governor if he had clinched the nomination.
In December of 2012 Brown issued this statement regarding Detroit's dire finances and supporting Mayor Dave Bing's push for layoffs.
"Detroit's elected officials had frequent opportunities to make the bold cuts, including the FY2011 and FY2012 budgets. Due to the lack of political will we failed to make the necessary cuts to the General Fund Budget. During the FY2012 budget process I recommended a $140 Million cut that was eventually decreased to a $50 million reduction," Brown said.
"Both the legislative body and administration faltered on making the politically tough choices to change the culture of overspending. Our primary issue today is that we are burning through cash every minute while the reforms are not being implemented. The progress we have made has been slow and extremely frustrating."
Brown said there has been incremental progress at city hall.
"We approved a contract to modernize our payroll system that will save several million dollars."
Tom Barrow, former mayoral challenger is opposing any form of an emergency manager for Detroit. Instead Barrow in an email to supporters said Detroit should head to Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection.
"If Detroit's mayor and council continue to act like lambs, conservatives will continue to feast like lions," Barrow said.
Detroit attorney Bertram Marks who is general counsel of the Detroit Council of Baptist Pastors said he's urging Gov. Snyder to name Beckham emergency manager because he has "ran five different departments" of the city and has "the insight, energy and fortitude to make tough decisions and stand by them as long as they improve the service delivery and operations of the city."

Chief Minister Raman Singh, on Wednesday said that there is no age limit for receiving education and the members of eunuch community can acquire the same by joining open schools.
Addressing the participants of 'Akhil Bharatiya Maha Manglamukhi Kinnar Sammelan' that is being held from January 2 to January 17 at Gajkhandi ground here, Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh called upon the members of the eunuch community to spread awareness about them receiving education through open schools. He said that eunuchs are also an important part of the Indian society and play the crucial role of spreading happiness while blessing people for their prosperity.
The Chief Minister said that it is the sublimity of the eunuch community that they find happiness in other people's happiness. Minister for School Education Brijmohan Agrawal and Minister for Woman and Child Development Lata Usendi were the special guests. The function was also attended by Vice Chairman of the Raipur Development Authority Ratan Daga. The programme was presided over by Kaushal Kishore Mishra.

Some Owensboro and Daviess County residents woke up to slippery roads this morning, but for the most part, crews were able to stay one step ahead of the storm and avoid major problems.
You could probably call today the calm after the storm, especially now that the roads are starting to dry out, but there are still some lingering problems that you need to keep in mind.
Some of which you might not be able to see, according to salt truck driver Billy Tyler.
"There's black ice out there now still. I mean, that's what you gotta watch out for is ice and stuff like that," said Tyler.
Fortunately, that ice is limited thanks to some earlier work.
"What helped us out a lot, we went out and pre-treated most all the major streets and everything before any of it got here," said Tyler.
He's been helping to keep the roads clear for about six years and notes that work's a little busier this January.
"Oh yeah. We didn't have much of a winter last year," said Tyler.
As temperatures continue to drop tonight, public works officials encourage drivers to watch out for problems spots like curves, intersections, and more.
"Overall in our area this evening, the elevated areas, I'm gonna say, would be the ones that would have more potential to be slick," said Wayne Shelton, Owensboro Public Works.
Crews will continue watching the weather tonight and treat the roads as needed, but if you do plan on heading out, stay alert and aware.
Just take your time and be careful out there. There are some slick spots still and just take your time, get where you're going," said Tyler.
Of course, crews will keep an eye on anything that might re-freeze, including bridges and overpasses.
Crews also want to reminder drivers that if you're behind or near a salt truck, give it enough room to treat the roads.
Try to avoid tailgaiting or passing one of them if you can.

Has anyone ever seen "Serious Reactor Error" (see attached)?
I was trying the EXPORTOAUTOCAD command when the error popped up. It was not a huge deal. I exited out of the drawing, reopened it and it worked fine.
It's just something I had never seen before
I wonder if I should find a bomb shelter somewhere . . .
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Andra,
Do you Have any custom routines loaded on your Civil 3D?
Hi Tatiana,
Just one: MdiTab18.arx
If don't mind me asking, what this routine does??...
The routine is the one causing the error message, it is conflicting with another portion of the software…
See this Shaan Hurley blog... Drawing Tabs
~ Mary
Thanks for the link Mary,
If that is the tool that you are using, it was create it to be use on ACAD 2010, with that been said some times this type of tools could work on newer versions but it looks like something is conflicting with 2012, that is a programming error.
Thanks Mary & Tatiana,
If I run into the error again, I'll remove the tool. Don't want to suffer from any fallout after all.
If you need a replacement for MDITabs, I use this Drawing Tabs by CAE-Link, which is compatible with 2007-2012 and free! I haven't run into any issues so far on any of my ACAD versions.

What Are Stem Cells?Stem cells are unique cells of the body in that they are unspecialized and have the ability to develop into several different types of cells. They are different from specialized cells, such as heart or blood cells, in that they can replicate many times, for long periods of time. This ability is what is known as proliferation. Unlike other cells, stem cells also have the ability to differentiate or develop into specialized cells for specific organs or to develop into tissues. In some tissues, such as muscle or brain tissue, stem cells can even regenerate to aid in the replacement of damaged cells. Stem cell research attempts to take advantage of the renewal properties of stem cells by utilizing them to generate cells for tissue repair and the treatment of disease.
Where Are Stem Cells Found?Stem cells come from several sources in the body. The names of the cells below indicate the sources from which they are derived.
- Embryonic Stem Cells
These stem cells come from embryos in the early stages of development. They have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell in the initial stages of development and become slightly more specialized as they mature.
- Fetal Stem Cells
These stem cells come from a fetus. At about nine weeks, a maturing embryo enters into the fetal stage of development. Fetal stem cells are found in fetal tissues, blood and bone marrow. They have the potential to develop into almost any type of cell.
- Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells
These stem cells are derived from umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord stem cells are similar to those found in mature or adult stem cells. They are specialized cells that develop into specific types of cells.
- Placental Stem Cells
These stem cells are contained within the placenta. Like cord blood stem cells, these cells are specialized cells that develop into specific types of cells. Placentas however, contain several times more stem cells than do umbilical cords.
- Adult Stem Cells
These stem cells are present in mature body tissues in infants, children and adults. They may also be found in fetal and umbilical cord blood cells. Adult stem cells are specific to a particular tissue or organ and produce the cells within that particular tissue or organ. These stem cells help to maintain and repair organs and tissues throughout a person's life.

Serum insulin level
This blood test measures two types of insulin in your body: total and free.
Insulin is found in your body in many forms. Bound insulin is attached to other proteins. This often occurs in people with diabetes who are treated with insulin. Free insulin is not attached to other proteins. Total insulin measures both free and bound insulin.
The hormone insulin plays a key role in keeping your blood sugar at the right level. Too little insulin leads to a certain type of diabetes. High levels of insulin can harm your health by leading to hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar.
You may need this test if you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Symptoms of hypoglycemia often include:
Irregular heartbeat
Hypoglycemia can be caused by:
Insulin used as a medicine to control diabetes. Each year, up to 30 percent of people with type 1 diabetes have a serious episode of hypoglycemia. This also can occur in people with type 2 diabetes, but it's much less common in them.
Insulinomas. These are rare tumors in the pancreas that produce insulin. They are usually not cancer.
Other types of tumors elsewhere in the body that produce a substance called insulin-like growth factor 2, or IGF-2, which may affect your insulin levels.
Your doctor may also order other blood tests, including those that measure:
Your doctor may also order a urine test to look at levels of sulfonylurea, a medicine used to treat diabetes.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
Results are given in microunits per milliliter (mcU/mL). A normal measurement of free insulin is less than 17 mcU/mL. You may have a false-low result if you have a medical problem that's damaging red blood cells.
If your levels are higher, it may mean you have been using too much insulin in medication form. It may also mean that you have an insulinoma that's making extra insulin.
Your results may be higher or lower if your immune system makes antibodies against insulin.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Taking insulin as a medicine will affect your results.
Tell your doctor if you are taking any medicines that affect your blood sugar, including insulin. In addition, be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use. Also tell the doctor the last time you had something to eat.

A Taftville man was charged with motor vehicle theft and reckless driving, among other charges, after he led Norwich and state police in a pursuit through several towns with a stolen vehicle on Sunday night, according to police.
State police noticed Kyron M. Sands, 34, driving a car in Groton that had been reported stolen from Gales Ferry, according to a state police report. Sands did not pull over when police attempted to stop him, and they followed him from Groton to North Stonington.
At one point in the chase, Norwich police said, a female passenger jumped out of the vehicle. Norwich police stopped to assist her with minor injuries.
Sands later lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree in Hopkinton, R.I., according to the report, at which point he abandoned the car and ran away. State police said they used a K-9 to track Sands and found him hiding in the woods behind a house in North Stonington. He was arrested after a minor struggle, according to the report.
State police charged Sands with improper use of a registration or license, failure to keep plates readable, failure to carry a license, reckless driving, disobeying an officer's signal, making an improper turn, first-degree larceny, interfering with an officer and second-degree reckless endangerment.
Norwich police charged Sands with failure to obey an officer's signal, reckless driving and engaging an officer in pursuit.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Environmentalists are filing another lawsuit over the federal government's handling of endangered Mexican gray wolves, this one seeking to stop a policy that calls for the capture of any wolves that cross the border into New Mexico and Arizona.
The Center for Biological Diversity Wednesday filed a formal notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over a recent decision that the group says gives the agency authority to catch any wayward wolves and put them into a captive-breeding program, return them to where they came from or relocate them into a designated Mexican wolf recovery area.
The group says Mexico recently released nine Mexican gray wolves near the U.S. border in the Sierra Madre, and wolves from the northern Rocky Mountains could make their way south at any time

Penrose Steps (via Profound Whatever)
Though I joined sometime in 2009, I never really got into using Twitter until late in the 2010 season. You see, I have a 95 pound American Bulldog named Grace and Grace HATES sports. Well, maybe that's not accurate. She hates when I get really upset during a game. She responds to me being emotional during games by doing one of two things: 1) Trying to sit on top of me or 2) Trying to sit on top of my wife. Neither works well since, again, she weighs half as much as I do. So the only solutions seemed to be that either I needed to calm down during Mavs games (yeah right) or I needed an outlet. Twitter proved a perfect place, as it's basically a self identified chat room of subjects and people that you want to pay attention to.
It also allowed me to go back and review the sorts of things I'd been angry or happy about during previous games. I started to notice trends. For example, I really, really did not care for Caron Butler and his ball stopping during the first round series against the San Antonio Spurs. For the series he took 7 fewer shots than Dirk but managed to shoot 11% worse. He viewed himself as option 1B to Dirk's 1A. As much as I appreciated the things Tough Juice brought to the Mavericks, he was not my favorite player at times. In fact, in the short amount of time he was with Dallas, he became the player I irrationally hoisted so much of my frustration on during games in which things we're going the way of the good guys.
Last year it was easy to find a target to blame for all the things that went wrong in Maverickland: Lamar Odom. Off the court, on the court, on his E! reality series, I focused just about all of my fan frustrations on Odom. If only he could give a hair more effort, if only he could finish a left handed layup as a left handed player, if only he would get that impassive look off his face. We all know how that ended. During the playoffs I transferred my ire to the sweet shooting (note extreme sarcasm) G/F Vince Carter. But it just wasn't the same.
I suppose (hope?) I'm not alone in this regard. I'd feel like a bit of a jerk. Despite having played and watched basketball since I was six, I continue to approach the game from a fan's point of view instead of being objectively analytical. I'm trying desperately to learn some sense of objectivity as I learn more and more about the game, but old habits die hard. With that said, I thought it time to take a look at the roster for this season and rank which players might drive we fans the most crazy:
5. Dominique Jones - I remember being delighted when Cuban swooped in and bought the Grizzlies' 25th pick in the 2010 draft. I had no idea who Jones was, but being a fan of youth on a rapidly aging team, I was willing to buy in. We were told he was a penetrating guard who had a knack for both making tough drives and drawing free throws. While we didn't see him much in 2010-2011, he received spot action last season, appearing in 33 games. He managed to shoot 63% at the rim last season, he managed to shoot 20% from everywhere else. While he is, in all honesty, a fine basketball player, even extrapolated over 36 minutes a game he doesn't really do anything at a level that demands he be on the basketball court in the NBA. I expect him to get some minutes just because this his last chance in Dallas to prove he belongs. Finally, the black shoes and mid calf socks drive me nuts.
4. O.J. Mayo – A sneaky pick, if mainly because his numbers and history lead many to believe that he should fit in and thrive within the
3. Jared Cunningham - This probably isn't fair at all to place Cunningham on this list, but being irrational is about disregarding the obvious. On draft night I was less than pleased with the initial move down (though I personally love Jae Crowder and Bernard James). I thought there were better players available with the 24th pick (any of the Baylor 3 of Perry Jones, Quincy Acy, or Quincy Miller). If any of these players turn out to be breakout players, I'll be unhappy with Cunningham, even though its not his fault. I also don't really see what Cunningham brings that Dominique Jones does not. Of course, this is why I am a fan and not a general manager. Perhaps Cunningham is a star.
2. Rodrigue Beaubois - Both Roddy and my next selection of Vince Carter are really 1A and 1B in terms of players most likely to drive a Dallas fan nuts. But given that Vince's playoff performance (mostly his 29% field goal shooting) is still fresh in my mind, Roddy is going to have to take the second spot at the moment. Where do we begin with Roddy? He reminds me of the guy who shows up at the YMCA who has clearly never played basketball before, but has otherworldly athletic instincts. His numbers over 36 minutes are really quite good, but the way he plays within the Dallas system drives me to yell at the television a lot. Roddy dominates the ball on the dribble and has issues making basic entry passes. When your number one offensive option in Dirk needs entry passes (even at the high post) your lead guard has to be able to do this well. There's also his frustrating injury history (seriously, I know dislocated fingers hurt, but do not fall down holding it. I know he kept playing but come on). Despite all this, one cannot help but feel that he is right there in terms of making the leap from potential to player. It's what makes him equal parts delight and horror.
1. Vince Carter - Oh Vince, you know not what you do. It's obvious from the fact that you still think a back-down, fade away 15 footer is a good shot in an offense based around fluid ball movement (Dirk is exempt from this shot criticism because he makes them with much more consistency). That Vince Carter is 35 is something he cannot control. However, I'd expect after 14 seasons he'd have a better grasp of what is and isn't within his capabilities night in and night out. We certainly do not expect him to be superman nightly. In fact, I really enjoy his occasional monster dunk. When attacking the goal last year he shot just over 60% at the rim and 36% from three point range, he shot 33% from everywhere else. And it's these shots which drive me to near madness.
These are my candidates, but who are yours? Am I dead wrong on a player here? Let me know. In fact, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong by all these guys as the Dallas offense and defense become a juggernaut. But at some point things are bound to go wrong during games, and I'll need someone to point my finger at and shout "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT".

"Were Going Streaking Through The Quad And Into the Gymnasium"
The Eagles have currently won nine in a row, which is the longest current winning streak in the conference. The Eagles are tied for 13th in the nation for the longest winning streak (Chattanooga had the longest winning streak with 17 in a row).

FCGU vs. Kennesaw St.
- This is the second meeting all-time between the two teams.
(Last Meeting: Jan. 19 in Fort Myers, Fla. – FGCU 76, KSU 64) Chelsea Dermyer scored a career-high 24 points and Delia De La Torre recorded a double-double as FGCU defeated Kennesaw State 75-64 on Saturday night to secure the program's second consecutive Atlantic Sun conference victory.
Four Eagles scored in double figures led by Dermyer's (Fort Collins, Col.) career-high 24 points. Dermyer played another solid game at the point guard position for the Eagles by shooting 9-of-14 (62.3 percent) from the field and 5-of-8 (62.5 percent) from long-distance. The senior also added five assists and four steals.
Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich.) played an all-around game by registering 14 points, five rebounds and four assists.
Ashley Haegele (Imperial, Mo.) and Delia De La Torre (Las Cruces, N.M.) had 13 points each. Haegele shot 4-of-7 (57.1 percent) and added four rebounds. De La Torre recorded her first career double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Kennesaw State was led by Nikki Gurley's 15 points.
FGCU (7-7, 2-2 A-Sun) started the game on a 13-0 run, capped by a McNally layup at the 14:26 mark, and held the Owls scoreless until Kennesaw State forward DeAndrea Bullock knocked in a free-throw with 12:41 left in the half.
Bullock's free-throw ignited the Kennesaw State offense and the Owls mounted a comeback and eventually cut the FGCU lead down to one point with 33 second left in the half, but the Eagles got a timely three-pointer from Haegele with 19 seconds left on the clock and took a 33-29 lead going into the locker room at halftime.
FGCU shot only 12-of-31 (38.7 percent) from the field and 7-of-24 (29.2 percent) from three-point range in the first half while the Owls shot 43.5 percent (10-of-23) from the field and 42.9 percent (3-of-7) from behind the arc.
In the second half, the Eagles came out on fire. FGCU began the half on an 8-0 run and never looked back. The Eagles never let Kennesaw State get closer than five points and they secured the program's second consecutive A-Sun victory by outscoring the Owls 42-35 in the half to win by the final of 75-64.
The Eagles finished the game 28-of-60 (46.7 percent) from the field and 13-of 34 (38.2 percent) from three-point range. The Owls shot 50 percent (22-of-44) from the field and 46.7 percent (7-of15) from long-distance.
Last Time Out Kennesaw St @ Campbell (W, 67-55: Feb. 11)
The Kennesaw State women's basketball team used a 19-3 run in the second half to break open a 47-47 tie en route to a 67-55 road victory over the Campbell Camels on Monday night inside Carter Gymnasium.
The Lady Owls (13-10, 8-3 A-Sun) posted their best offensive out-put of the season to win their third game in a row and sixth out of the last seven. KSU finished the game shooting 51.9 percent after making 27 of-52 shots and put the defensive clamps down on the Camels (10-14, 5-6), holding the hosts to 42.6 percent shooting (23-of-54).
Britteny Henderson continued her hot play of recent weeks, scoring a career-high 28 points. The Atlanta native missed just two opportunities, going 11-of-13 from the field and a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. The Atlanta native gathered 11 rebounds to finish with her second consecutive double-double.
Greteya Kelley tied her season-high with 20 points after shooting 8-of-17 from the field and knocking down a season-best four three-pointers. She added five assists to go along with four steals. Montinique Nixon chipped in seven for the Lady Owls, while Jennifer Baker added five.
Marlena Murphy had 11 points for the Camels, but KSU held the senior forward to four rebounds below her season average with seven. Lauren Yesh added 10 points in the losing effort.

|Official Title ICMJE
|An fMRI Study of Self-regulation in Adolescents With Bulimia Nervosa
|Brief Summary
The aim of this project is to use both functional MRI (fMRI) and behavioral measures to investigate how disturbances in frontostriatal neural systems contribute to the impulsive and habitual binge-eating behaviors in patients with Bulimia Nervosa (BN). Findings from this study will have wide-ranging importance for our understanding of the development and treatment of BN.
|Detailed Description
Patients with Bulimia Nervosa (BN) have difficulty regulating impulsive behaviors as suggested by their binge-eating and purging, as well as the high incidence of drug abuse and shoplifting in this population. Understanding dysfunction in the frontostriatal circuitry that mediates self-regulatory control processes will aid development of new therapeutics for the impulsivity associated with BN. Thus we aim to use fMRI and neuropsychological measures to investigate the functioning of frontostriatal systems and self-regulatory control processes in adolescents with BN.
Participation in this study includes 4 sections: Neuropsychological Tests, Diagnostic interviews, Pregnancy Test, and MRI scan. All efforts are made to coordinate procedures into one day, and they require between 4 and 5 hours of the participant's time. The option of splitting participation into two study days is also offered for participants who find it more convenient. Participants are compensated with $100 in the form of a check, which is mailed to their home address.

Topic: .::{The Jay Cunning Breakbeat Sessions Tour 2007}::.
"A DJ for the people, always aiming to please the crowd through an energetic and eclectic mix of no-nonsense music"
Being the leading force behind the Menu Sessions (the World's second best radio show; Breakspoll 2004 and 2005), Jay was the natural choice to take over Tayo's Breakbeat show on Kiss back in April 2006. Since then we've seen the likes of Stanton Warriors, Ali B, Deekline, Meat Katie, Rennie Pilgrem, Ratpack and the Freestylers all join us in the studio,
Future guests include: Lee Coombs, Slipmatt, General Midi, Dub Pistols, Aquasky, Phil Hartnol + Cut La Roc and many more.
Jay himself is no stranger to the Breaks scene; he got involved in 1999 and became one of the leading forces behind Breaks FM. Now on Kiss Fm Jay is also 1 half of Menu Music and holds a breakbeat residency at The End with Ram Records as well as InBeatWeTrust in Russia.

When the Chanel Paris Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2008 fashion show needed a little dressing up, Karl Lagerfeld inspired an idea to decorate the Grand Palais with a very grand Chanel jacket. This idea was realized by Atelier Devineau, who created the 60'-high, 50'-wide garment, but it required an immense structure to support its form. It was up to project managers from events company Villa Eugénie (www.villaeugenie.com) to find the fabricator to do it.
Enter Hans Willems, who started WI Creations (wicreations.com) about two years ago to specialize in special construction for entertainment and events. Willems and his team provided engineering and construction services, creating a structure comprising WI-towers and other custom pieces. "To make this reality, we had to build our own tower system," says Willems. The towers were steel and the trussing made of aluminum.
The garment itself — more set piece than jacket, really — was actually a wooden skeletal frame covered with polystyrene foam and painted. "We needed to lift 10 tons total on two freestanding towers of 59' each," Willems says about assembling the structure. During this process, a Kinesys K2 automation control system controlled four 2½-ton Liftket electric hoists to lift and maneuver the jacket and its supporting towers.
The debut of this mammoth piece of fashion actually took place off the runway on a huge turntable and — like any haute couture at the end of its runway sashay — completed one full revolution during the course of the show.

Polaris 165 Pressure Side Automatic Pool Cleaner
Click here for replacement parts
Short Description
The 165 pressure side pool cleaner by Polaris is suitable for vinyl or fiberglass surfaced, in ground pools and operates with the equipment system.
Pool Cleaner Features:
The Polaris 165 is a pressure side pool cleaner that works for vinyl or fiberglass surfaced, in ground swimming pools. This pressure side cleaner does not require a booster pump for operation. It installs with a 1-1/2" female threaded return line. The 165 can also be used on above ground pools up to 8' deep and includes a 32' hose. It operates with its patented Jet Sweep assembly and is powered by the pressure from your return line. This cleaner stays on the surface of your pool while dragging its filter bag with Jet Sweep assembly around the pool for a gentle and clean sweep.
The 165 pressure side cleaner uses the pressure of clean water returning to your pool to move around. This leaves both the filter and skimmer free to terminate contaminants. Its Jet Sweep assembly allows the 165 to loosen debris in corners and behind your pool ladder by blowing water against the pool's wall and sweeps the debris into its filter bag. The unique filter bag is used to remove debris before it even reaches your pump basket or filter, extending the life of your filtration system. This pressure side cleaner sweeps the bottom and sides of your pool in three hours or less and installs in minutes.
The 165 gives you all the power of Polaris pressure side pool cleaners without the need for installing and maintaining a booster pump.

As expected the injury suffered by Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is not serious and he is expected to be fine. Stafford told reporters after the game that he was OK and could have finished the game. The Lions obviously preferred to take a cautious approach and remove him from the game early in the second quarter.
Stafford's injury came when he was attempting a pass and his left hand collided with a Raider helmet. He was taken to the sidelines where the Lions training staff examined him and put an ice pack on his hand.
Head coach Jim Schwartz said at halftime that Stafford was expected to be fine.
Stafford played all 16 games last season but has had injury issues in the past which is why Lions fans were holding their breath when he suffered the minor injury.

Most likely, the 2014 Grammy Awards will not be remembered best for its winners (Daft Punk was the top dog, by the way) or even for Beyoncé's salty performance of 'Drunk in Love,' so provocative that many mothers were prompted to cover their kids' eyes and fume on Twitter.
Last night's Grammys will be memorialized in history as the night that Queen Latifah
officiated a mass wedding (broadcast worldwide) of both straight and gay couples. Artists Macklemore and Ryan Lewis performed "Same Love," a rap defense of gay rights at the event, later joined by Madonna and her classic song "Open Your Heart."
"To have your wedding in front of 100 million people is pretty momentous," Queen Latifah said.
Yes it is. And not momentous just for those getting married, but for marriage equality advocates everywhere.
According to Sarah Kate Ellis, President of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLADD), "When such a critically acclaimed and popular rap artist puts marriage equality center stage at one of the biggest events of the year, it is the latest in a long line of signs that our nation not only accepts, but celebrates the love and commitment of gay couples today."
To her 'congregation,' Latifah said, "This song is a love song not for some of us, but for all of us."
However, Queen Latifah's call to unity was not universally embraced, and opponents of the last night's rainbow wedding took out their anger on Twitter.
Particularly vocal was Todd Starnes, host of 'Fox News & Commentary.' "I've never seen such a display of intolerance, bigotry and hatred. #Grammys #antichristian" and, "This was not about marriage. This was about bashing God and the church. #grammys," he tweeted.
Similarly vexed, Scottie Nell Hughes, News Director of the Tea Party News Network (TPNN.com) tweeted "Everyone has rights unless you are a right wing conservative #attackonchristianity."
The backlash did not come as a surprise to Neil Portnow, President of the National Academy of Recording Artists and Sciences. "I expect that people with all kinds of opinions might voice them," he said in anticipation of the wedding, "and that's healthy."
What did you think of the mass wedding at the Grammys last night? Tell us in the comments or in a blog post.

Dennis Chambers Hospitalized
Jazz drumming legend Dennis Chambers, who has toured extensively over the years with artists such as Steely Dan, Santana, Parliament-Funkadelic and Mike Stern, is in the hospital in intensive care. Bassist Bootsy Collins confirmed the news today.
"Dennis Chambers is in intensive care," Collins said via Facebook, "and they're working on getting him off the respirator. They are filtering his liver, as it's not functioning well."
In recent performances, including gigs last week with Mike Stern at festivals in Europe, Chambers appeared much thinner than usual. Chambers is a former child prodigy, who began playing at age four and performing by age six. At 18 he joined Parliament-Funkadelic, playing with the band from 1978 to 1985, before joining the band of guitarist Jon Scofield.
Chambers is a ferociously talented drummer in any style. A highlight in recent years were his spotlighted solos with Santana during 'Soul Sacrifice.'
Tim Alexander Suffers Heart Attack
It was announced yesterday on the Pucifier facebook page that on again/off again Primus and A Perfect Circle drummer Tim Alexander has suffered a heart attack. He is scheduled to undergo open heart surgery next week.
This year Alexander announced the formation of Supergroup Escape The Cult, featuring members of Kamlath, King Diamond, and Merciful Fate. Last fall Alexander also made a heralded return to Primus, the band that originally brought his talents to the attention of drummers worldwide.
ProMark Introduces Three New Signature Sticks
ProMark has announced three new signature drumstick models designed in tandem with some of the drumming industry's top players and innovators, Anton Fig, Bob Gatzen, and Will Kennedy. "ProMark is thrilled to work with these top drummer s," says Rob Caniglia, ProMark Product Specialist. "We're always looking for new stick offerings and what better way than to go straight to the players themselves."
The Anton Fig drumstick will be released at the 2014 Summer NAMM show. It has a short taper making it a forward heavy stick that generates a lot of sound. Made of hickory, it features a large wooden barrel tip. The handle of the stick is treated in ProMark's Pro-Grip solution for better grasp. "The thing about these sticks is that they are so consistent," says Anton Fig. "You could just take any pain and start playing with them, and they feel great."
The Bob Gatzen Balanced Groove stick has a unique design that features a long taper and a notch cut out of the handle. The notch shifts the center of balance of the stick towards the butt end. The stick is made of hickory, and it features a wooden barrel tip. "The sticks allow me to be more musical," says Bob Gatzen. "They vibrate in your hand differently. The groove changes the center of balance and creates a different playing experience."
Will Kennedy's stick has a long taper which accentuates the rebound. It is made of hickory and features a wooden teardrop tip.

The on-campus and online colleges available to you at U.S. News University Directory offer an immense variety of educational options. You can advance your career goals with a degree in art and design, business degree, criminal justice programs, education and teaching degree, engineering program, degree in healthcare, human services program, legal and paralegal degree, liberal arts degree, nursing degree, political science program, science program, or technology degree. Remember that in times of economic uncertainty, those with advanced degrees and certifications seldom have to worry about job security. When the unemployment rate reached 6.7% in November of 2008, the rate for people with a bachelor's degree or higher was only 3.1% – less than half the national average.
Both traditional and online university degrees should come from an accredited educational institution. The exceptional reputation of U.S. News & World Report means that you can trust in the quality and value of the programs offered here; the vast majority of educational institutions presented at U.S. News University Directory are accredited by one of the six regional United States accrediting agencies. The only schools that are not so accredited are those for which regional accreditation is not typically expected, such as most vocational and technical schools. Instead, these institutions are usually accredited by a national, field-specific accrediting body.
Whether studying online or on-campus, many students qualify for financial aid. Depending on your area of study, educational institution, and financial circumstances a variety of grants and scholarships may be available to you. Student loans are also an option for most students. Both active-duty military service members and veterans can take advantage of the Montgomery G.I. Bill or the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill (including the new Yellow Ribbon Program). Your advisor will help you research and apply for financial aid.
