Pathways of ammonia assimilation into glutamic acid in Bacillus macerans were investigated by measurements of the specific activities of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glutamine synthetase, and glutamate synthase. In ammonia-rich medium, GDH was the predominant pathway of ammonia assimilation. In nitrogen-fixing cells in which the intracellular NH4+ concentration was 1.4 +/- 0.5 mM, the activity of GDH with a Km of 2.2 mM for NH4+ was found to be severalfold higher than that of glutamate synthase. The result suggests that GDH plays a significant role in the assimilation of NH4+ in N2-fixing B. macerans.

Before she moved back to Texas to take care of her ailing parents and inherited their house, I lost track of how many times I stopped by her luxury condo and had my cock treated the same way this ol' girl works it. Nancy charged me very little, and sometimes sucked me off for free. Man could she take a load, down her throat and in her pretty face!! Miss ya Nancy...

In this paper we analyze the dynamics of N point vortices moving on a sphere from the point of view of geometric mechanics. The formalism is developed for the general case of N vortices, and the details are worked out for the (integrable) case of three vortices. The system under consideration is SO(3) invariant; the associated momentum map generated by this SO(3) symmetry is equivariant and corresponds to the moment of vorticity. Poisson reduction corresponding to this symmetry is performed; the quotient space is constructed and its Poisson bracket structure and symplectic leaves are found explicitly. The stability of relative equilibria is analyzed by the energy-momentum method. Explicit criteria for stability of different configurations with generic and nongeneric momenta are obtained. In each case a group of transformations is specified, modulo which one has stability in the original (unreduced) phase space. Special attention is given to the distinction between the cases when the relative equilibrium is a nongreat circle equilateral triangle and when the vortices line up on a great circle.

I named my first "big" boat (a 12' aluminum skiff) "Sea Mouse" when I was 12 years old. It has graced the transoms of a couple since. It got me and my 12 footer locked through the Troy, NY federal lock by ourselves one night. I tied up to the approach dock, walked up to the lock keeper's office and told him the Sea Mouse wanted to lock through. We were headed to lake Champlain. The lock was already empty. He didn't say a thing; just opened the lock doors. I got lifted into the Champlain Canal all by myself that August evening. I have wondered if the name triggered his reflex to open the lock doors without asking any questions. He did exclaim when he saw what entered. I slept in some farmers barn along the Champlain Canal that night. Ha!

Where can I find more information on HID's 125kHz proximity cards/credentials and readers? |
Answer / Solution |
HID has forced us to remove this FAQ: HID is a Federally Registered Trademark #3329275. (That's what the tell us anyways) Accent Alarms is not an affiliate of HID nor does HID "endorse" AccentAlarms.com. HID (a Federally Registered Trademark #3329275) was worried that you might confuse us so we had to comply with their legal demands. We also cannot provide you with their datasheets, installation sheets or even provide you with a link to their website. May we suggest that you consider using Xceed ID Readers and Credentials as they will allow you to review their datasheets and use their name without being contacted by their legal team. Please feel free to contact us, we would love to assist you, although HID (that's still a federally registered trade name, but not affiliated with us) is working very hard to prevent you from getting assistance. |

About Me Master Gardener
While trying to cut a branch, the end of the pruner broke off. It broke while I was pulling the string to cut the branch. The die cast end of this tool is hollow, and not too strong. It would be better if it were made with aluminum or an alloy of greater strength.

The mounting frame is made of a soft steel that broke as soon You apply to much force so it doesn't last to much You can't use it in a thick branch

Rolf Crook and colleagues used an atomic force microscope to define quantum electronic components – such as quantum wires and dots - on the surface of a gallium arsenide wafer. The tip of the microscope, which was biased to –6 volts, "drew" patterns of charge on the surface, and these patterns depleted electrons from a two-dimensional "sheet" of electrons in a layer of aluminium gallium arsenide beneath the surface (see figure). The experiments were carried out at 20 mK.
The technique allows the team to tailor properties of the components, such as their size and shape, and to link individual components into more complex circuits. The patterns can be erased by going over them again with the tip biased to +3 volts, or the whole surface can be erased by illuminating it with red light.
"The most exciting feature of erasable electrostatic lithography (EEL) is the complete freedom to change device geometry during the experiment," Crook told PhysicsWeb. "For example, we could change the shape of a quantum dot from square to triangular because EEL is performed in the same low-temperature high-vacuum environment as the measurement. This is simply not possible using any other lithographic technique." The Cambridge team now plans to improve the resolution of the technique by using a smaller probe, or by moving the electron sheet closer to the surface, and to investigate phenomena such as quantum decoherence and fractals in quantum dots.
Crook and colleagues also believe that EEL could be used to make a quantum computer based on arrays of quantum dots. "A quantum computer would require an array of almost identical quantum dots," he said, "but inherent material defects make it hard to see how this could be achieved with using conventional techniques such as electron-beam lithography. Erasable electrostatic lithography would vastly simplify the fabrication of such devices."

dimentional.pdf - Published Version Restricted to Registered users only Download (1209Kb) | Request a copy |
A two-dimensional model is proposed for taking into account the establishment of contact on the compression side of crack faces in plates under bending. An approximate but simple method is developed for evaluating reduction of stress intensity factor due to such 'crack closure'. Analysis is first carried out permitting interference of the crack faces. Contact forces are then introduced on the crack faces and their magnitudes determined from the consideration that the interference is just eliminated. The method is based partly on finite element analysis and partly on a continuum analysis using Irwin's solution for point loads on the crack line.

Enhancement of random lasing assisted by light scattering and resonance energy transfer based on ZnO/SnO nanocomposites
A new composite consisting of ZnO nanorods and SnO nanoparticles has been synthesized and characterized. It is found that the UV laser emission from ZnO NRs can be greatly enhanced and more easily achieved by the assistance of SnO NPs. The underlying mechanism is interpreted in terms of light scattering,charge carrier transfer and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mediated by SnO NPs. Our strategy opens a promising route for improving the external conversion efficiency of optoelectronic devices.

This has not been noticed with the much discussed and still hotly debated tanker threads ongoing. The Dutch MoD has indicated its decision to participate in the IOT&E phase of the F-35 program by making a down payment for two airframes in 2008 for delivery in 2011 and 2012. However, a decision to procure the fighters will not be made until 2009..... http://www.flightglobal.com/articles...o-f-35-jsfs-for-joint-testing.html Quote: "The Netherlands is to participate in initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E) of the Joint Strike Fighter alongside the USA and UK, and will provide two Lockheed Martin F-35As for the multi-national test force. The Dutch ministry of defence has informed parliament of its decision to participate in IOT&E and to make a 10% downpayment on the two F-35s in 2008, but says it will make a final decision on buying the aircraft in 2009. The two F-35s will be delivered in 2011 and 2012. IOT&E will run from 2011 to 2013." http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/.../AIR_F-35A_AA-1_Test_Flight_lg.jpg Good that there is a chance for a counterpart to the tanker deal across the pond, and unlike in that, the American product offered is relatively cutting edge.

Allstate Sugar Bowl Prep Football Showcase Garners National Recognition
Friday, May 17, 2013
The John Curtis-St. Thomas Aquinas game in the 2013 Allstate Sugar Bowl Prep Football Showcase has been tabbed the top interstate matchup of the year in the nation by MaxPreps.com. The Louisiana and Florida powerhouses will clash Friday, Sept. 13 in the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The doubleheader - an annual early-season highlight on the prep football schedule - will also feature a contest between Jesuit and St. Paul, offering wide appeal for both games to area football fans. MaxPreps.com National Football Editor Stephen Spiewak wrote, "John Curtis also has a game against Bergen Catholic, but it's the showdown with St. Thomas Aquinas that fans are most excited about. Both have captured national titles in the last five years and both will be very good in 2013." This marks the second straight year the Allstate Sugar Bowl Prep Showcase and Curtis have gained recognition in MaxPreps' evaluation as the top interstate game in the country. In last year's Showcase, the Patriots defeated Plant High School (Tampa, Fla.), 33-3, propelling Curtis into national championship contention. Curtis went on to gain recognition as the consensus national champion last year when seven of the nine national polls, including MaxPreps, ranked the Patriots No. 1. Curtis has won back-to-back Louisiana Class 2A championships, and has now won a record 25 state titles. St. Thomas Aquinas won its third Florida state championship last season, taking the Class 7A title. "We are deeply appreciative of the Sugar Bowl and the Superdome for giving us the opportunity to play against some of the best competition in the nation," said Curtis Head Coach J. T. Curtis. "We've been looking up to teams like St. Thomas Aquinas for years, and we have great respect for them. This speaks volumes for the quality of high school football here in Louisiana. We're happy to see this kind of recognition for the work that all of our players, past and present, have put into achieving national prominence." "The Sugar Bowl Committee has demonstrated a strong commitment to high school football over the years, and this sponsorship serves to further showcase that tradition," said Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO Paul Hoolahan. "We are proud to play a part in this event, and we look forward to the possibility of building on that support in the years ahead." The mission of the Allstate Sugar Bowl is to sponsor and promote amateur sporting events which will foster revenue and spark economic growth in the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Through all of its year-round slate of events, the organization has generated over $2 billion of economic impact for the city and the state in the last decade alone.

Ideas for a Poor man's 1911?
I would love to have a 1911 and have been looking around for a basic 1911. I don't want anything fancy, nor do I want to pay a bucket load of cash. Problem is everytime I find a 1911 in any LGS around here it's a sig or it cost $1000. I want a 1911 that is ugly not pretty, rugged not prissy, something that I'm not afraid to lose. Any ideas would be great.. Sorry I know I'm cheap my budget is around five hundred.

I would suggest you review the attached document. Then pickout a few which appeal to you and go look for them to get a hands on feeling. If possible, try to shoot them.
It is the most complete reference I have found on buying a 1911: http://www.1911addicts.com/showthrea...u-1911-addicts |

Rock Island Armory has a pretty good reputation, and you could look at Auto Ordnance, though they've certainly had issues in the past mine hasn't had any problems as of yet.

IMO, even a "Phillipino slag gun" 1911 beats the tar out of a plastic pistol of any make.
My first 1911 was a Charles Daly (made in ........ yep, the Phillipines!) and I still love it, despite the sub-$400 price tag.

I am thinking RIA first for cost, with maybe Taurus PT1911 second. I have the PT1911 and it has been flawless so far.

The great thing about a RIA 1911 (or any other standard 1911 frame) is that you can gut it... polish away any burrs, etc.... and then add back higher quality parts. As long as the basic frame and slide are dimensionally correct, you can essentially turn it into a "match grade" 1911. Perhaps not as pretty as an expensive model, but functionally every bit as good. The external appearance can be improved as well, if you choose to polish it and re-do the finish.

i have a AO, ive put lots of parts into it but she has been around the block quite a few times. my brother has a Metro Arms, its a really nice pistol for the money also. Rock Islands can be found for around 500 new in the tactical model. llama are ok. some GI parts wont interchange tho which could end up being a problem. all of which are good guns. not GREAT, but for what you have described they would work perfectly.
i would recommend this personally: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...s_id/411539799

I've shot countless rounds through a RIA 1911. It wasn't mine but a buddies. For the money, they are extremely hard to beat. His was very accurate and even more reliable. I might try to find one eventually just to play around with.

Around here I have seen a SA Mil-Spec for $569. RIA seems to be a good candidate for the money, for around 700, you can get a Remington SS or a Ruger. I'd go with either the SA for the price or the Ruger because it is a model 70 if you can stretch your budget.
I did find your comment that the ones you saw were either over $1000 or a Sig. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with a Sig (in fact I have one). If the slide profile bothers you, you can get the Traditional series. If the external extractor bothers you, it is what it is and it's only a matter of aesthetics, not function. That said, the Sigs are more expensive than the ones I listed above. |

I have the Taurus PT1911 and have not had any problems wiith mine after several thousand rounds. My buddy hs the Rock Island 1911 and I have shot it several times. I like the three dot sights on my Taurus better, but I think the RIA is a very good value for a less than what I paid. I am not sure what the prices are now, but his was about $150 cheaper about 3 or 4 years ago. Neither has a very good resale value, however, so if you think you might want to resell it any time soon you might think about paying more for something with a better resale value. I don't plan on selling mine anytime soon.
This is my gun. There are many like her, but this one is mine. I'm not old. I'm CLASSIC! |

I have customers that have RIA and AO 1911's, they seem to be decent for the price paid.
The RIA 1911 in 38 super can be picky on the ammo it will feed. I would stay away from the new Reminton 1911's. The VIS in some of the frames is not up to spec ( they were machined wrong) and it will be a major cost to repair. Never had a Taurus or Ruger on the bench so I can't give an honest opinion on them. However if I was going to spend the money they cost I would buy a Springfield Mil-Spec. Best Regards Bob Hunter www.huntercustoms.com |

Have carried mine daily for 2 years, gi model .45 aftermarket stainless slide release and safety custom grips, it has that weathered well used look to it and the best part.....an honest guess of around 4500 rounds and not one malfunction period...ever. around tulsa area just under 450 and the tactical version just under 500

Sig 1911s are quite good. Love both of mine.
I'll second the recommendation for the Remington, my R1911 is a nice piece as well. On the extreme budget end, Rock Island is probably the best bet. The one I've experienced was definitely reflecting the price point (feed and extraction issues, some other annoyances), but most seem to have better experiences with those than I did. |

Loaded ammo for either is both spendy and scarce still. Good thing I have 1911's in both calibers

This ATI Commander cost me $400 and the slide to frame fit is better than some 1911's that cost 3X. I'm still amazed at how well this ATI shoots and think these are an incredible deal for the money. I'm not that great of a shot but this is Winchester White Box at 12 yards.

I would avoid Taurus. Too many bad guns coming out of that company, and warranty support is "iffy."
The three Philippine makers are all excellent: Armscor/Rock Island, Metro Arms (American Classic), and Shooters Arms manufacturing (American Tactical Imports). Rugers are also excellent and affordable. Right now, the best deal and the lowest price seems to be the Regent 100 from Turkey. |

They're a bit more money, but the Ruger SR1911,s - both the standard size and the commander - are very nice and well made for the money. And they are made in the USA.

13,668 file papers for Pak poll Islamabad, August 28 The increase in nominations was due to the increase in seats for the National and Provincial Assemblies and introduction of seats for women. For National Assembly (NA) seats, 4,020 candidates filed papers. Fiftyone candidates filed papers for two NA seats in Islamabad, 1,924 for 183 NA seats in the Punjab including 35 reserved for women, 1,038 for 75 NA seats in Sindh, including 14 seats for women, 711 for 43 NA seats in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), and 244 for 17 NA seats in Balochistan including three seats for women. In all, 52 candidates filed nomination papers for 10 seats for non-Muslim in the National Assembly. For 371 (including 66 women and 8 non-Muslims) Punjab Assembly seats, 4,667 candidates filed nomination papers, while 2,706 filed papers for 168 Sindh Assembly seats including 29 seats for women and nine for non-Muslims, the News reported. In the NWFP, 1,291 filed nomination papers for 124 NWFP Assembly seats including 22 for women and three for non-Muslims, and 984 filed papers for 65 Balochistan Assembly seats, including 11 for women and three for non-Muslim. Meanwhile the Musharraf regime has lifted the ban on political activities, effective from September 1, on the condition that the rallies and processions will stay off the roads, streets and railway stations. The political parties had been repeatedly urging President Pervez Musharraf to lift an almost blanket ban on the political activities in Pakistan. The terms and conditions governing the political activities and campaign released by the government yesterday states, as reported by The News, that rallies and processions on roads, streets, railway stations shall not be allowed strict adherence of the government policy on display and carrying of weapons; political meetings shall only be organised at places/areas specified by the district/provincial governments in order to prevent public inconvenience and to maintain normal public life. No traffic disruption and hindrance shall be allowed; the time, place and other details of the meetings shall be decided by the district/provincial governments in consultation with the political party concerned well in advance and ordinarily no deviation in the agreed programme shall be allowed; and the code of conduct issued by Election Commission of Pakistan shall be strictly adhered to in letter and spirit. Deposed Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rejoiced today as the Election Commission reportedly accepted the nomination papers of his exiled brother Shahbaz to contest the forthcoming general elections. Nawaz Sharif along with his wife Khulsoom and Shahbaz have filed their nominations to contest for six seats from Lahore for both National and Punjab Provincial Assembly.
no to US plea on Benazirs return Islamabad, August 28 General Musharraf is reported to have rejected the US request during the course of his meeting with US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage in Islamabad a few days ago. Mr Armitage had conveyed US President George Bushs desire that Ms Bhutto should be allowed to return and not be arrested. To this, General Musharraf said the arrest warrant against Ms Bhutto had been issued by the court and it was the only authority which could withdraw it.
Developed world to share pledged help with poor Johannesburg, August 28 We will definitely impress on member countries that there should be no dilution of agenda 21 which provides for an action plan to sustain the path of development in the 21st century, Union Minister for Environment and Forests T.R. Baalu said in an interview on the sidelines of the ongoing World-Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD) here yesterday. Agenda 21 is also an agreed body of principles that enables developing countries to move in the direction of achieving goals of sustainable development, Mr Baalu said adding that instead of the 0.7 per cent of the GNP pledged a decade ago only 0.22 per cent had been forthcoming. Asserting that agenda-21 was non-negotiable and thats the stand we would be taking, he said We wont make any compromise on the guiding principles ... developing and developed countries have a common goal but America and other developed countries have a higher responsibility to ensure environmental protection and sustainable development of the developing countries. The developed countries are currently responsible for causing untold damage to the environment through the emission of greenhouse gases, over-consumption and other forms of pollution, Mr Baalu said. There should be a mechanism to strengthen the global environmental facility so that money will flow to developing countries. We will also be pleading for new and additional resources for the developing countries: for the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) to be strengthened and restructured and for technology transfer.
India ratifies Kyoto Protocol Johannesburg, August 28 Indias accession to the Kyoto Protocol is a reiteration of our commitment to addressing and resolving various issues of global concern in a multilateral manner, Mr Baalu said here at the ongoing World Summit for Sustainable Development. I hope that other countries will also soon ratify the Kyoto Protocol so that it could come into force before Cop-8 (Conference of Parties to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change) which starts in New Delhi on the 23rd of October, the minister said. The Kyoto Protocol, which commits a country to the principle of multilateralism in addressing and resolving various issues of global concern, was adopted in 1997 and aims at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Under this protocol, the industrialised countries will be required to reduce their emission of greenhouse gases by an average of 5.2 per cent during the first implementation period between 2008 and 2012. Industrialised countries that contribute 55 per cent of the emissions are required to ratify the protocol before it is brought into force.
Bin Laden again in control of Al-Qaida London, August 28 Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, yesterday said that Al-Qaida associates recently told him that the network had regained confidence after facing intense U.S. bombing and was ready to fight U.S. troops over the long haul. The Al-Qaida was shattered during the U.S. bombing, so it was difficult for Bin Laden to stay in control. Now, they said he was fully in command again and they had regrouped and were organised again, Atwan told the agency. Al-Qaida people say they are relaxed now and they will fight a war of attrition against U.S. soldiers, added Atwan, who interviewed Bin Laden in 1996 and keeps contacts with his associates and followers. Bin Laden was in good health and safe and was planning new attacks on the USA, but his whereabouts were not disclosed. The USA launched strikes on Afghanistan last year to flush out the Al-Qaida and hunt down Bin Laden, its prime suspect in the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, and punish the Taliban regime that protected him. But remnants of the Al-Qaida and their Taliban allies have continually frustrated the U.S.-led coalition by hiding in mountains, melting into the local population or fleeing to Pakistan or Iran.

Israel calls off
security talks Jerusalem, August 28 The Israeli minister, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, postponed the meeting with Abdel-Razzek Yahya after what Israel called a grave incident overnight in which a shell hit a house also used as a kindergarten. No casualties were reported. The talks had been aimed at pushing forward a stalled security deal covering the West Bank city of Bethlehem and the Gaza Strip that is seen as a test case for a broader ceasefire. The agreement was conditional on the Palestinian security forces taking responsibility for curbing militants attacks on Israelis.

Sukhoi 30MKIs by 2004 Moscow, August 28 The first aircraft will roll out by the end of 2004 or in early 2005. This time-frame can be shortened if the two sides try, Sukhoi Design Bureau General Director Michail A. Pogosyan told a team of visiting Indian journalists here. Meanwhile, Russia is already working on plans for the joint production of a next generation fighter aircraft. Mr Pogosyan said the proposed new aircraft would use lots of composite material, making it less visible on enemy radar screens and easier to handle for both pilots and technicians.
Blast in Nepal market Kathmandu, August 28 A witness said the blast took place just as shops in the Mall were opening for business.

The spring 2015 Integrative Seminar, Bouncing Back: Exploring Vocational Resiliency in the Crucible of Ministry, will approach this critical topic from an inter-disciplinary perspective. Using a practical theological framework developed by Dr. Richard Osmer (2002) that investigates the descriptive, interpretive, normative, and pragmatic dimensions, the following questions will guide this inquiry. |
This fall's Integrative Seminar (IS501), The Subversive Word: Social Innovation and Readings of Scripture, explores from a multi-disciplinary and integrative approach the challenges of hearing the voice of the Spirit through the Bible in times of political and social change when conflicting readings of the Word may emerge. Are the new readings a sign of the Spirit's call to the Church requiring acceptance and obedience? Or are they errant readings, prompting the church to deviate from God's will and purpose? |
Confronted by these emerging realities, what must be done to fully re-engage the American church? The spring 2014 Integrative Seminar IS506, Becoming Glocal: Re-aligning the Local Church with the Global Missionary Mandate explores the local church's present relation to the world Christian movement. The intent is to provide students with more accurate perceptions of global realities and current church practices. Fresh, grounded awareness will provide wisdom to evaluate our churches' current engagement, with the goal to align us better with what God is doing in the world. |
The fall 2013 Integrative Seminar, Rich Church, Poor Church: Exploring Affluence and Poverty within the American Christian Community, will address this issue through a multi-disciplinary exercise in practical theology. Practical theology is critical theological reflection on the practices of the Church as they interact with the practices of the world with a view to ensure faithful participation in the continuing mission of the Triune God (Swinton and Mowat, Practical Theology and Qualitative Research, p. 25). Our seminar will engage a four-step model of investigation and conversation suggested by Richard Osmer (Practical Theology: An Introduction) involving Descriptive, Interpretive, Normative and Pragmatic dimensions. The following questions will guide our time of learning:
The 2012 Fall Integrative Seminar explores the use of online modali-ties as the basis for Christian spiritual formation. The following ques-tions will guide this inquiry:
IS503 Spring 2012 - Greening Up or Burning Out | |||
Pastors, teachers, and counselors face increasing complexities and pressures in contemporary helping ministries. The ongoing stress of such personally demanding vocations can deplete the minister emotionally and spiritually. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization of the recipient of care, and diminished sense of the value of one's ministry are warning signs of potential vocational burnout, resulting in the silent anguish of the healer. The Spring 2012 Integrative Seminar will focus on the Christian helper's vulnerability to burnout and the potential for vocational renewal. The following questions will guide our reflections on this theme:
IS501 Fall 2011 - The Transforming Word | |||
Throughout the history of the Church, the Bible has been central to its spiritual vitality. Traditionally, reading, listening to, and meditating on the Bible has been the main means of scriptural formation. Today we live in a frenetic age in which the pace of life and the ubiquity of digital technology have provided new and innovative approaches to biblical engagement. Each day, thousands of Americans read the Bible on their cell phones, get email devotional readings, and even some access the Word through tweets! In light of these new societal and technological factors, how does the Bible meaningfully change our lives? Conversely, how does our "wired" way of life influence our reading, understanding and response to the Bible? The Fall 2011 Integrative Seminar will address key questions related to this theme:
IS506 Spring 2011 - Conversing with Lausanne | |||
The heart of Christianity has shifted to the global south over the last few decades with unprecedented church growth in Africa, South America, and the Far East. The Christian faith is no longer predominantly a reflection of Euro-centric values and perspectives. The emerging church has a powerful voice that needs to be heard in the world-wide context of faith and mission. The recent event, Cape Town 2010 held on October 16 -25, 2010 in South Africa was the third global international conference on world evangelization held in the last 40 years (Lausanne, 1974, Manila, 1989) drawing over 4,200 participants representing over 200 countries. This epic event provided a platform for all the members of the world Christian movement to converse and reflect on the most pressing issues of faith and mission facing the Body of Christ in our generation. The Spring 2011 Integrative Seminar, Conversing with Lausanne: Reflections on the Christian Movement from a Global Perspective, invites you to join in this vibrant discussion on the nature and execution of the Great Commission in light of the complex and challenging political, social, economic, and cultural factors shaping our mission to the contemporary world. |
IS505 Fall 2010 - Maintenance or Mission | |||
The 21st century has set the stage for a paradigm shift that has dramatically changed the way the Church views itself. The era of the Christian West has passed, ushering in a society that values connectedness, ambiguity, and above all tolerance. Many churches have viewed this as a call to "circle the wagons" and more closely guard their own traditions and beliefs, while other fellowships have marked this shift as a new opportunity to understand and connect with the world in ways they never have before. The question then becomes, how should we as Christians view this new era in which we live -- and how can we remain culturally relevant while still retaining the essentials of our faith?
The fall 2010 Integrative Seminar will seek to explore these questions through the lenses of church history in terms of St. Patrick and the Celtic Missionary Impulse. The goal of this event is to reflect on potential strategies for a new post-Christian mission in North America, and to spur our missional imaginations so that we can better extend the gospel in a changing culture.
IS504 Fall 2009 - Seminary or Cemetery | |||
Although students and faculty continually discuss and reflect upon topics of biblical, theological, and spiritual importance, the pursuit of theological education can be hazardous to one's relationship with God. Overexposure to sacred stories and symbols can create spiritual "dead zones" in some people's lives where vital communications with the Lord drops off to nothing. Constant analyses of Scriptures for exegetical assignments often leave scant fragments of the Bread of Life to feed the souls of the learner. In addition, a life of extreme busyness can almost eliminate the quietness, patience, and attentiveness essential to cultivating a life in the Spirit of Jesus.
This fall's integrative seminar will explore how students perceive the influence of seminary education on their sense of spiritual vitality. The basic source of data will be a simple online survey. The results of this study will provide the basis for a forum of discussion regarding the states of our souls as ministers and leaders- in- preparation.
IS503 Spring 2009 - How High Are Your Fences | |||
According to Dr. Henry cloud, boundaries are the limits of your personal identity that define where you end and someone else's life begins. Like a property line they indicate what you own and when you are entering into someone else's domain. Boundaries, like fences, may be too weak and invite trespassing or they may be too strong and keep out even those you need in your life. People in ministry and the helping professions need to have very clear understanding of boundaries, their own and those they serve. Healthy fences promote respect and integrity while dysfunctional boundaries can invite abuse or isolation. How high are your fences? The spring 2009 Integrative Seminar explores the concepts of personal and professional boundaries with the hope you will gain a clearer understanding of what defines you as a minister and a child of God. |
IS501 Fall 2008 - Sweet and Sharp | |||
The GCTS mission statement begins with a strong commitment to the Bible as God's inspired written revelation and our need to rightly divide it. Too often we stop at admiration of the Bible without adequate appropriation of it for the work of building up the church and its members. The Seminary may provide excellent preparation to master the Word through academic excellence but fail to equip students as faithful stewards of the Word's dynamic power. In order to broader our awareness of the Scripture's vitality and potency, the Fall 2008 Integrative Seminar will focus on practical and applied uses of the Bible in various ministerial contexts and situations. The goal is to help us explore and struggle with issues arising from the dynamic nature of Scripture and how it can be used appropriately to bring spiritual health and vitality in believers and churches. |
IS506 Spring 2008 - The Church in the Global Community | |||
The global mission of Christ is to bring the gospel to all people groups. This requires the ability to translate the biblical message and its implications across a multitude of cultural and ideological contexts in a manner that faithfully maintains the authentic core of biblical truth yet communicating and embodying it relevantly within specific cultural groups. This is the process of contextualization. The challenges of contextualization are significant and require critical theological reflection and sensitivity; skills which are valuable for all Christian ministers. The Spring 2008 Integrative Seminar invites students to wrestle with the issues of contextualization through a significant case study issue regarding planting an indigenous community of faith in a Muslim context. |
IS504 Fall 2007 - Revive Us Again | |||
Since the church should always be in a process of "constantly reforming" the Christian community needs to reflect intentionally and prayerfully about the process of renewal. The focus of the Fall 2007 Integrative Seminar is on an inter-disciplinary inquiry on revival and renewal from biblical, theological, practical, and historical perspectives with the following focal questions:
IS505 Spring 2007 - Ministry to Broken Bodies | |||
Often the church is blinded to its attitudes and actions towards specific people and groups within the congregation. As a result, individuals can be hurt by feeling alienated from the vital life of the Body of Christ. On e particular group that often experiences alienation is people with physical handicaps. The Spring 2007 Integrative Seminar seeks to explore the dynamics of alienation and affirmation with a focus upon people with physical disabilities. This inquiry will examine both the subjective experiences of the disabled and other members of the church community. |
IS503 Fall 2006 - Money Matters | |||
The Bible makes it clear in both Testaments that those who serve God vocationally should be financially compensated for their labors. It is right to be paid for ministry. Yet little is said regarding the form and amount of such support. How much does money matter? In our complex world of retirement plans, rising health costs, and changing tax laws, how ministry is paid can have a direct influence upon clergy motivation and effectiveness. Yet many congregations find it difficult to evaluate ministerial practice in light of compensation or even talk about it, This often leads to frustration and misunderstandings. The Fall 2006 Integrative Seminar explores the trends in ministerial compensation and presents guidelines to help provide perspective on this critical but often difficult issue in the life of the church. |
IS501 Spring 2006 - Not the Way It's Suppose to Be | |||
Christians do sin and it should not be astonishing that we repeatedly hear stories of the moral collapses and unethical behaviors of Christians. What can be more surprising and devastating to novice ministers or leaders is when they experience evil and sin as a reality within the life and dynamics of their congregations or ministries. Such encounters can be painful and ultimately lead to ongoing disillusionment or a watchful pessimism about leading God's flock. Whoever said that sheep don't bite! The theme of the Spring 2006 Integrative Seminar focuses on the reality of sin and evil in the congregation and the dynamics of their operation. The primary goal is to help Christian leaders develop understanding and discernment of sin's impact in order to become more effective and enduring leaders in a fallen world. Few theories of leadership and ministry deal with the consequences of a radical theology of sin within organizational life (most are humanistic or rational in orientation), yet our fallen-ness, manifested in a surprising array of attitudes and behaviors, lies at the heart of most congregational dysfunctions. |
IS505 Fall 2005 - The Sexually Healthy Congregation | |||
For the average church, human sexuality has been often been viewed warily as a source of trouble and temptation. In spite of the poignant problems associated with sexuality, God meant it to be a significant source of blessing and human connection. This Integrative Seminar explores in an appreciative mode the question of how congregations can function to help form Christian believers into healthy sexual beings. |
IS505 Spring 2005 - The Church of Many Colors | |||
The world is changing before us in a dizzying pace. The recent catastrophe generated by the Indonesian tsunami reveals that the world is quickly becoming a global community. No one can stay isolated to its needs. The towns and cities of America are rapidly becoming mirrors of our world, reflecting its cultural diversity and need for interconnectivity—a mosaic and no longer a melting pot. This Integrative Seminar will explore the Church's calling to diversity, not simply as a response to changing demographics, but in heart-felt obedience to the call of God to be a people conforming to His eternal plan for the Body of Christ. Participants in today's events come as disciples and scholars seeking to learn together and from each other what it means to minister in a church of many colors and cultures. |
IS504 Fall 2004 - Building Community | |||
How important is community to the effective ministry of the Church? Can community be used as a strategy to promote ministry in contexts outside of the Church? These and other challenging issues will be the center of the Fall 2004 Integrative Seminar, Building Community: Establishing a Base Camp for Ministry. The focus is on an intriguing case study presented by Jan Mullis and Steve Shores of Integrity Enterprises. The case centers on an ongoing effort to use community building as a means for organizational development in a manufacturing company. |

CLEVELAND (AP) - Derek Lowe pitched three-hit ball into the eighth inning and the Cleveland Indians scored three runs on Angels errors to beat Los Angeles 4-0 Sunday. Lowe (4-1) retired 12 batters on ground balls, including Albert Pujols three times. Pujols also struck out against reliever Chris Perez, extending his career-long homerless streak to 117 at-bats. Ervin Santana (0-5), in his first start against Cleveland since throwing a no-hitter at Progressive Field last July 27, allowed two unearned runs over seven innings. The runs scored when nine-time Gold Glove outfielder Torii Hunter lost a routine two-out fly ball in the sun for an error in the fifth. Los Angeles has totaled only 11 runs while losing six of seven.

Radionuclide cisternogram
A radionuclide cisternogram is a medical imaging study which involves injecting a radionuclide by lumbar puncture (spinal tap) into a patient's cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to determine if there is abnormal CSF flow within the brain and spinal canal termed hydrocephalus. It may also evaluate a suspected leak (also known as a CSF fistula) from the CSF cavity into the nasal cavity. A leak can also be confirmed by the presence of beta-2 transferrin in fluid collected from the nose before this more invasive procedure is performed.
The patient may be instructed to not eat or drink, or take medications such as aspirin or other blood thinners before the procedure. Pledgets can be inserted into the nasal cavity before the procedure when a CSF leak is suspected.
The patient's spinal fluid is injected with a radiopharmaceutical tracer, such as DTPA tagged with indium 111, through a lumbar puncture (spinal tap). The tracer will diffuse up the spinal column and into the brain. The progress of the tracer's diffusion through the CSF will be recorded by a nuclear medicine gamma camera. Images are usually taken immediately, at 6 hours, and at 24 hours. The patient may be asked to return for 48- and 72-hour follow-up scans.
The pledgets will be removed and either imaged with a gamma camera or counted using a gamma counter. If the tracer has leaked onto the pledget through the skull, it will appear on the gamma camera image or register abnormal counts allowing the diagnostician to determine the location of the leak within the sinus cavity. The site of the CSF leak can be plugged with fat or muscle by endoscopic surgery.
Headaches following the procedure are common, but should fade in 3–5 days. Drinking caffeinated liquids, as well as bed rest, is often recommended, though at least one scientific paper disputes the practice.

Thread: SanDisk may increase iPhone Speed by Improving Write Speeds
11-06-2008, 07:07 AM #1SanDisk may increase iPhone Speed by Improving Write Speeds
Today, SanDisk unveiled an advanced flash file system for solid-state drives (SSDs) that yields dramatic improvement in performance and reliability for computing applications. This next generation of patented flash management is called ExtremeFFS, and has the potential to accelerate random write speeds by up to 100 times over existing systems.
It has been discussed by reliable sources that the reason it takes so long to copy media to the iPhone is flash's slow write speeds. This is theorized because the relatively slow write speed of flash can have a bottleneck effect at certain times during certain applications and uses, although most of the time write operations are "fire and forget."
Recently, flash has made improvements in write speeds, but NAND flash will always be somewhat challenged in this aspect, because the way that writes work with the technology. In order to write data to a nonempty flash sector, you have to first erase that sector and then write to the newly emptied area. This erase-before-write need basically means writes are slow because they often take two operations to complete.
This challenge is worse for random writes than it is for streaming writes, because a single erasure of one substantial section of storage can accommodate a batch of multiple writes. In contrast, each individual of random writes must first be preceded by an individual erase. Most operating systems drivers expect for a mass storage device to be structured like a hard disk, however flash is structured in the usual RAM grid structure and this means that there must be a way for mapping the OS model of filesystem locations onto the physical flash hardware.
In more detail, the ExtremeFFS works as such;
In the case of ExtremeFFS, this OS-to-physical mapping is not static. Rather, the controller and software work with the flash to do dynamic mapping, so that related file blocks are clustered together for maximum streaming read performance, and random erase/write operations are distributed based on a number of reliability and performance factors. In regard to the latter, random writes can be cached and then actually written to the disk at the optimal time and location in order to cut down on the number of erases per write.
The ExtremeFFS will start shipping in 2009, so who knows maybe faster iPhones are waiting somewhere down the line.
Thanks to Poseidon79, for letting me know about this story!

Sounds like a great idea. Wonder if this will drop the cost of Solid State Hard drives.
Wow that's awesome. Hopefully Apple if apple does use this they'll back it up with a MUCH better battery, since it looks like this sucker is gonna need it.
when and how will this get to the iphone?

The title is a bit misleading to say the least. Sandisk launching a new technology for flash memory really does not mean the iPhone will get it. Well, I am sure it will in SOME TIME, however right now it is expensive (as is with all new tech). I would be willing to bet that Apple would rather spend time adding overall memory than adding faster flash (at this time).
I once prayed to God for an iPhone, but quickly found out He didn't work that way...so I stole an iPhone and prayed for His forgiveness.

Well in the case of the iPhone and any current mac, they are already running os x which is also built on Unix, and also has a defrag-on-the-fly mechanism (apple calls it 'optimizing')
This also sounds like additional strain on the CPU, but with the world of 8 core CPU's upon us who cares, not that mac will ever jump onbard, but hey, you can wish. :P

Genoa are preparing to bid for Parma striker Nicola Sansone, reports in the Italian Press suggest this afternoon.
Teleducato have revealed that the Grifone are keen to make a move for the 22-year-old, despite being knocked back by the Crociati in the summer.
Enrico Preziosi's men went in for the Munich-born forward at the start of the season, but were knocked back by Coach Roberto Donadoni.
However, after just two goals in 17 League matches, it is believed that the Ennio Tardini outfit would be willing to part with Sansone for the right money.

And I still feel like I'm playing a game in beta. Trying to walk down or jump down a mountain gets me stuck more often than not. When swimming and coming up on land I've managed to swim under the world a few times. Climbing any stair case is annoying beyond belief, you usually have to bunny hop in a criss cross pattern. When using a flying mount I've flown inside mountians a few times. The responsiveness to the controls is sluggish even when I'm getting a very low ping. Every 45-60 seconds my latency spikes for a couple seconds which has gotten me killed on a few occassions. I played Vanguard at release and it was an unholy mess. Granted, it's not as bad now as it was then but it's still nowhere near production quality. I think the game itself is great. The class and race selection is interesting. Diplomacy is the most fun and unique mini game I've ever seen (and I usually hate mini games). The world is open and feels vast. The mobs put up a decent fight and I don't feel like I'm steamrolling everything even at low levels. Grouping seems to be encouraged more than your typical mmorpg. It has many of the old school features I like. Overall though the bugs and lag are making for an extremely frustrating experience. I can't see myself sticking it out that long and certainly not upgrading to a subscription. "Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted." |
I think if you try to run everything at max settings you might have hitches. Personally I have always played with the rendering at performance which draws less bushes lamppoles what not. That said I am having a blast I pay for three months at a time and its enjoyable to just explore and see things on your own. I just am not sure that you description of the lag is adequate in 2013 when most of the computers are more than suportable for playing VG and the devlopment team althouhg not perfect has worked out most of the bugs. No other game has the beauty of VG as long as you can run it I suppose |
Vanguard is what it is. It will always have those issues. You just have to deal with them. I've never encountered some of those that much but they do exist. The stairs thing is probably the most annoying. There are too many good features about the game though. For one, just being able to go to that mountain and climb it unlike most game where you are corraled into areas.
Letsinod, congratulations by March 5, 2013 you will have been a member of these forumns for seven years I wont ever catch you but I am right behind you, gamers united we should start a PAC, lol |

Originally posted by Punk999 :p I healed Mistwraith and all I got was this stupid tee-shirt! |
I agree. If you have your setting right the game runs fine for me i run at 9.8 fps and 13.4fps in busy area. Big city sometimes alittle more but not that bad. THe game is a hard game to play it not a click to win like most of the other games. Your have to really read and search for quest and other stuff in the game. The game is free to play and come out with new stuff all the time what else can u ask for. ALL games have some kind of glitch.
It's sad that a lot of the bugs that were there in beta are still there. However I still have found no other current game that makes me feel more like I am in an actual living breathing game world. I have been playing again recently and am greatly enjoying the game. I'm not saying that this little trist will last forever but for now it's going good lol.

Originally posted by gexz7 I do run everything at max settings. My frame rate never drops below 60. I'll trying lowering it to see if it's going to help that damn staircase problem. I don't want to jinx it but I was playing yesterday and the latency problems were much better. That helped the controls responsiveness a lot. We'll see if it was a fluke if I play tonight. Maybe that bug was resolved. *fingers crossed* "Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted." |

To me, the OP sounds like someone who TRIES to swim through mountains and get stuck on hills. I've played the game for years and maybe I'm at a point wehre I naturally avoid them, but either way it's not game breakingly frequent when your not trying. --- Live a life less ordinary. |

I'm sorry issues like that is hampering your experience and ability to enjoy the game. It certainly is possible to get stuck and to swim under the world. But it is not exactly common, but I understand your point although your are exaggerating a lot. I'm in no position to tell you what to like and play, but I just don't understand how such issues really matter, I mean its such a minor thing that rarely happens. Or maybe I'm just so used to it I don't really care anymore. In the big picture I just feel its, not that important, but thats me. Oh but the STAIRS, that annoys me greatly, and I find it hard to believe its not been fixed. Because that seems like a more simple issue to fix than getting stuck certain places(which happens in every mmorpg I've played, yes including wow) or swim under the world. Its just the long ass stairs you get stuck in, and how often do I really encounter them? Not very often so again, annoying and certainly dumb yes, but does it affect me much ingame? Not at all. |

Originally posted by Everket I wish I was exaggerating. I'm honestly not. I've learned to avoid activities that will cause the game to bug out. I no longer look for shortcuts through the mountians, I'll follow the beaten path. I no longer bother swimming since the druid can walk on water. The staircase problem I'll have to live with since I can't find a workaround for that one. I'll treat Vanguard with kid gloves. "Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted." |

Defensive end Robert Mathis has been a thorn in the side of the Jacksonville Jaguars since he came into the league. He was a major reason for the Indianapolis Colts' decade of dominance over the AFC South, teaming up with Dwight Freeney to disrupt and sack opposing quarterbacks who were in the unfortunate position of trying to catch up to the Colts' offensive onslaught. However, with the fire sale going on in Indy, he, along with Peyton Manning, and Reggie Wayne, could easily become cap casualties.
+ Consistent producer
Since he came into the league he has always found a way to get to the quarterback and the ball. He not only has 83.5 career sacks, he has 39 forced fumbles. He has been one of the most consistently productive defensive ends for the past decade.
- He is on the wrong side of 30
Due to his age, it would not be a wise choice to invest a lot of money in him on a long contract. After all, with the high impact intensity of the defensive end position, a seemingly simple injury could become an unexpectedly long and complicated injury. Just look at the situations of Jaguar defensive end Aaron Kampman and even Mathis' teammate, Peyton Manning. Luck is rarely on the Jaguars' side for defensive ends that are over 30.

Contiki | Sustainable Vacation Packages
I'm not one for activity-planned vacations. I prefer to do a little research, drop myself somewhere, soak up some local color and then do my own exploring. I don't like crowds and I don't like sharing my holiday with anyone other than those I've personally selected.
But I got a shout-out about a vacation provider called Contiki that's integrating a ton of green initiatives, so I thought it was worth a mention. Calling themselves the "world leader in vacation packages geared towards 18 to 35 year olds", Contiki recently announced their plans to help globe trekkers travel carbon neutral.
