Professor Conklin-Miller teaches courses in Christian formation, mission, evangelism, and ministry in the Wesleyan/Methodist tradition. Drawing from conversations in theological ethics, missiology, practical theology, and the Methodist theological tradition, Dr. Conklin-Miller's research considers the theological relationship of the Church and the world and the connections between ecclesial practices of formation and faithful witness. He has contributed to The Wesleyan Theological Journal, The Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics (Baker), and Generation Rising: A Future With Hope for the United Methodist Church (Abingdon).
As an ordained elder in the California-Pacific Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, Conklin-Miller has more than a decade of experience serving local churches in Southern California as an associate pastor, co-pastor, and senior pastor.

JEFFERSON CITY — A Missouri House committee has endorsed legislation that would let some low-income families earn more money without losing their state subsidies for child care.
The bill would create a pilot program to test the idea. Families whose income rises above the threshold for subsidized child care would keep the benefit but pay 44 percent of the excess income to the state as a "premium."
Proponents say Missouri's current guidelines for child care subsidies encourage recipients to work less and earn less than they are able to.
The measure has already won approval in the Senate. It now goes to the full House.

JR gave us a sneak preview into North Korea just last week by posting photos on his Instagram. The 2011 TED Prize winner has also been busy working on his new book entitled Women Are Heroes: A Global Project Book, published by Abrams. The book follows the travels of the French artist into Sierra Leone, Liberia, Sudan, Kenya, Brazil, India, and Cambodia, where he photographed the women in everyday struggles. Though many of us have taken glimpse of JR's outdoor projects, this book showcases the whole project over 360 pages, featuring 375 full color photographs. The hardcover book launched a couple of days ago and if you can not find it at your local bookshop, order it by quoting the ISBN 1-4197-0333-1 or EAN 9781419703331. via: Juxtapoz

Mac OS X Lion[2] (version 10.7; marketed as OS X Lion)[3] is the eighth major release of Mac OS X, Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
A preview of Lion was publicly unveiled at the "Back to the Mac" Apple Special Event on October 20, 2010. It brings many developments made in Apple's iOS, such as an easily navigable display of installed applications, to the Mac, and includes support for the Mac App Store, as introduced in Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.6.[4][5] On February 24, 2011, the first developer's preview of Lion (11A390) was released to subscribers to the Apple Developer program.[6] Other developer previews were subsequently released, with Lion Preview 4 (11A480b) being released at WWDC 2011.[7]
Lion was released to manufacturing on July 1, 2011,[8] followed by its final release via the Mac App Store on July 20, 2011. Apple reported over one million Lion sales on the first day of its release.[9] As of October 2011[update], Mac OS X Lion has sold over six million copies worldwide.[10]
On June 6, 2011, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, it was announced that the official release for Lion would be in July 2011. The specific release date of July 20 was not confirmed until the day before, July 19, by Apple CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, as part of Apple's 2011 third-quarter earnings announcement.[11]
Apple did not initially announce any physical media distribution for Lion, such as a set of CD-ROMs or a DVD-ROM as used for past releases. Instead, the operating system was said to be available exclusively as a download from the Mac App Store for US$29.99.[12][13] The only prior version of OS X that supports the Mac App Store is Snow Leopard, which implied that any machines that support Lion currently running Tiger or Leopard would first have to be upgraded to Snow Leopard, as opposed to allowing a direct upgrade to Lion.
Apple later announced two alternative distribution mechanisms for the benefit of users without broadband Internet access: in-store downloads at retail Apple Stores, and a USB flash drive containing the OS, priced at US$69, available through the online Apple Store beginning in August.[14] On August 4, 2011, Apple started to take orders for Mac OS X Lion's USB installation flash drives for $69.99.[15]
The Server portion of Lion is available as a separate download from the Mac App Store for US$49.99, which is in addition to the purchase price of Lion itself.[16]
In July 2012, Lion was removed from the Mac App Store and retail Apple stores following the release of OS X Mountain Lion.[17] Following the removal of Lion from the Mac App Store, customers could still purchase Lion by phone at the reduced price of $20.[18] In October 2013, Lion was returned to the Apple Store website concurrently with Mountain Lion following the release of OS X Mavericks for the convenience of users who cannot run Mavericks on older Mac models.[19]
The first developer preview of Lion added TRIM support for Solid-state drives (SSD) shipped with Macs, which is also included in the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8) shipping with current MacBook Pros before July 20, 2011. Other SSDs have built-in TRIM-like optimization, while yet others require OS patching.[20]
Some new features were announced at the "Back to the Mac" keynote in October 2010, and the Apple website was updated in February 2011, with more details. Other features were announced at the WWDC 2011 keynote or on Apple's Mac OS X Lion Web site after the keynote. Apple states that there are over 250 new or changed features in Lion, including:
The complete list was on Apple's website but has since been taken down; it can now be found on the Internet Archive.[65] The developer release notes may also be of interest.[66]
Reception for OS X Lion has been mixed; complaints include a substantial backlash by "Pro" users with workflows affected by the Autosave/Revert workflow.[86] Other highly criticized decisions include the change to "natural scrolling",[87] hiding of the scroll bar,[88] the omission of the iSync program necessary to synchronize a Mac with non-Apple mobile devices,[89] as well as abandoned functionality in Exposé[90] and Spaces.[91]
In an extensive review of the operating system, Ars Technica recommended Lion.[68] They noted that it feels like it is the start of a new line of operating systems that will continue to be influenced by Apple's iOS platform.[68] The review also compared the introduction of Lion, along with its new conventions that change traditional ways of computing, with the original Mac OS X and when it replaced the classic Mac OS.[68] Macworld called Lion a "radical revision", praising the changes made to the operating system to be more user friendly to new Mac users who are familiar with the iOS interface, while criticizing the limited utility of the interface. Ultimately, the magazine considered Lion an operating system worth getting, giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars.[92] guardian.co.uk called Lion a substantial improvement from its predecessors and considered it a "steal" given its price.[93]
On the other hand, Gizmodo stated that the new interface "feels like a failure" and concluded by saying that "it doesn't feel like a must-have upgrade".[94] Ted Landau of MacObserver also had serious criticism of Lion, reversing his earlier praise of Autosave and writing, "Auto Save takes irritatingly long when working with large documents. Still others lament the loss of the Save As… command, noting that the new Duplicate option is not as convenient to use. The consensus is that none of this would matter much — if you could disable Auto Save. If you like how it works, leave things as is. Otherwise, get rid of it. But Lion offers no way to turn Auto Save off. This is the heart of the "my way or the highway" complaint. A posting sums it up: "The new features are intrusive, non-respectful of the users' choices, and cannot be changed."[86]
Due to Lion's enhanced security features, including application sandboxing, Dino Dai Zovi, principal of security consultancy Trail of Bits and the coauthor (with Charles Miller) of The Mac Hacker's Handbook, characterized Lion's security as "a significant improvement, and the best way that I've described the level of security in Lion is that it's Windows 7, plus, plus. I generally tell Mac users that if they care about security, they should upgrade to Lion sooner rather than later, and the same goes for Windows users, too."[95]
Mac OS X Lion was criticized for removing Rosetta,[citation needed] which eliminated support for PowerPC applications.

Inman, John (1935-2007)
Inman had briefly been lured away from the BBC by ITV in 1977 to star in Odd Man Out, a situation comedy about a fish-and-chip shop owner who had inherited a factory. Unfortunately, the series suffered a swift cancellation. He later returned to television in the series Take A Letter, Mr. Jones (1981), playing a secretary, and he made numerous cameo appearances on other shows. He also had a supporting role in Stephen Cookson's comedy film The Mumbo Jumbo in 2000. Most of Inman's later work was in the theater. He toured in his own show, Fancy Free, in the 1980s, as well as appearing in plays, often farces such as Sam Cree's Pyjama Tops (in 1982) and Derek Benfield's Bedside Manners (in 1988). Inman was a perennial crowd-pleaser in pantomime and performed in more than forty shows. Danny La Rue, another pantomime dame, described Inman as "irreplaceable," saying, "John was wonderful in panto. The children adored him. He had a magic touch." Actress Rula Lenska, who also appeared in pantomime with Inman, praised his generosity: "He was a joy to work with, and even after an exhausting day in pantomime he would have time for the fans who crowded round the stage door." Like many other actors of his own and earlier times, when an acknowledgement of homosexuality could not only spell the end of a career but possibly make them a target of criminal prosecution, Inman remained closeted for most of his life. He generally deflected questions about his romantic interests by calling the stage his love. Sadly, as late as 1999, Inman felt the need to hide his sexual orientation, claiming that he had been in a romantic relationship with a woman--unnamed and unseen--for nearly thirty years, an assertion that was met with widespread incredulity. Inman came out publicly only when he and builder Ron Lynch, with whom he had been together for 33 years, were united as civil partners on December 23, 2005. Inman was in poor health in his last years. He was forced to abandon his role as Wanda the Cook in the pantomime Dick Whittington in December 2004 after contracting Hepatitis A, a disease caused by consumption of contaminated food. He remained weakened by the infection until his eventual death on March 8, 2007. He is survived by Lynch. At news of his death, tributes poured in from professional colleagues, friends, and fans who praised Inman's work and recalled the joy that it had brought them, while members of glbtq rights organizations and other commentators offered their various opinions on his role in cultural history. Mollie Sugden, often Inman's foil (and sometimes ally) as Mrs. Slocombe, the head of the womenswear department on Are You Being Served?--and another of the show's more transgressive characters--may have found the right words as she mourned Inman's passing: "It's a very sad day. As far as I'm concerned, it's the end of an era."

Most EVE players know that CCP merged with White Wolf, White Wolf produced a well known and loved pen and paper RPG. CCP wanted to pick up the World of Darkness IP and make a game. It would be no exaggeration to say things have not gone so well for the project, years have passed and the test bed for it has been through its own set of problems and effectively put on the back burner. Apart from a few screens and a tasty looking trailer we have seen nothing to show us a game is anywhere near happening. Currently playing: EVE online (Ruining low sec one hotdrop at a time) Gravity Rush, (Waiting for) Metro: Last Light, |
I think CCP have more cash than Cd project, I think CCP will release first, I base this on the same evidence you are using, the voices in my head.

CCP is making an MMO, CD Project is making a standalone RPG. So no.
Complicated, very complicated. After monocleGate things went downhill for CCP as they got caught with their pants down and lost a lot of subs. They had to throw everything at EVE and WoD lost out. I am a fan of WoD and hope it or something like WoD, is released soon, or at least an ETA is given.
Originally posted by sketocafe This, I don't see the conflict in any area. They are catering for different groups of people. "after the time of dice came the day of mice " |
Originally posted by sketocafe Derp, I covered that. Fact is the game CD Projekt are attempting is as complex and as challenging as creating an MMO. The challenges they face are different but both are difficult in there own way. Currently playing: EVE online (Ruining low sec one hotdrop at a time) Gravity Rush, (Waiting for) Metro: Last Light, |
I don't know, just like WarZ, NeverWinter and TERA, they have all adv. take the whole time to build an awesome game but in the end, they release an beta/alpah product with 1000000000 bugs that they could've done way before but they didn't because it was supposed to be perfect.
No they should not be ashamed of themselves. Patients is a virtue many gamers dont seem to have. From a look of the WOD video and the scope of the world they plan to create, WOD will take some time. |
Originally posted by Garkan How did you cover that? You can't compare a standalone game to an MMO in terms of complexity. Just because you list things that CD Projekt is doing doesn't in any way mean it is comparable to what CCP is doing. |
I don't know about ashamed of themselves, because EVE is an amazing accomplishment, but I would love to see them do something more, including evolve EVE. I'm sure you've read their dev posts on EVE. They want to expand it and keep it alive for a very, very long time. Trouble is, it doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. They can only expand on the current gameplay model so much without starting to add other branches of play such as WiS, planets, etc. I dont' play EVE only because the game that exists now with space flight only doesn't appeal to me, but I so want to join the EVE experience in general. As for WoD, I read they were talking about putting some information out at the end of 2012, which clearly didn't happen. It would be nice at least to hear some kind of status update. A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come. |
Originally posted by KroxMalon We cant all be doctors...... |
Nope because CCP have also just released another game called Dust 514 for the playstation. Granted they have sat on the WoD IP for a fair while but they are doing things no-one else has tried. Tied to that WoD i very different to what CCP have done in the past and when you look at what they have been adding to Eve and to a certain extent what they are doing with Dust it's all kind of laying some basic ground work for stuff they can use with WoD. So while nothing looks like it's officially moving on WoD things like getting an avatar moving around captains quarters on a space station could be seen as experiance in avatar design and animation that could be put to use in WoD.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. There is nothing more dangerous than a true believer. |
Originally posted by Garkan I don't get your point, it makes no sense Why would CCP be ashamed because another development company is making a complex single player RPG? Should they also be embarrassed because Bethesda made Skyrim and it was sold millions of copies? There is very little correlation technically around the development of how an MMO and a single player game is designed. So no, CCP shouldn't be ashamed "after the time of dice came the day of mice " |
I'm pretty sure they want to use the same graphics engine that they did for walking in stations, which turned out to be a giant resource hog that can't support multiple players in the same area. So until they solve this very important issue I don't think WoD is going anywhere. Once CCP releases pod pilot out of ship content, then I think people can start getting excited for WoD.

Can someone link me to the information on Cyberpunk 2077 that we are basing this all on? I couldn't find anything but a trailer and a couple of high level devblogs. I'm not saying CD won't make a great game. IMO, they've delivered solidly with both Witcher and Witcher 2, so I look forward to Cyberpunk 2077. I'm just lost as to what the OP is going on about as I haven't seen anything about the features, gameplay, release date, scope of game or .... well, anything at all.

Originally posted by bcrankshaw You are not getting it, you have two very similar products produced by two similar devs. If one dev can take on converting a PnP into a game thats as challenging as creating an MMO why cant CCP do it. By the way for those not getting it, if you have two challenges say climbing a mountain and running a marathon they are very different. Both are difficult in their own way and have there own complications and difficulties to overcome. I am not comparing the challenge they both face directly I am simply saying that the RPG CD Projekt are creating is no easier than creating an MMO.

Originally posted by Garkan What are you basing this on, though? Can you link to pages on the scope of the two projects. There's very little on World of Darkness out and from what I read on the Cyberpunk 2077 site, they were still deciding which parts of the PnP to use and which parts to cut. I think some of us would be able to understand how you arrived at this seemingly odd conclusion if we saw what information this you used to reach it.

Swollen lymph nodes Mar 1, 2009 Hello Dr.Bob. I have a question to ask. I'm hiv positive since March ' 07. I choose to be on meds early cuz I heard its good to control the virus instead of having it run wild in my blood. Blood works come back fine CD4 is at 600 and undetectable. Here's my question to this day my lymph nodes on my neck are just a little swollen. Don't have them no were else only my neck. Would they ever go away. |
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello, Adenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) associated with HIV (or any other chronic infection) can be quite persistent. Will they ultimately go away? No one knows. Usually they at least subside to the point they are unnoticeable once you are on effective combination antiretroviral therapy. However, even if yours hang around for a while, think of them as part of your immunologic defense mechanism fighting HIV, OK? Dr. Bob |

'Company should hire more local than from other States'
Members of the Udupi Power Corporation Mazdoor Sangha staged a sit-in in front of the main entrance of the coal-based thermal plant of Udupi Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) at Yellur in Udupi district on Monday, demanding basic facilities for the workers.
In a memorandum addressed to the Administrative Officer of UPCL and submitted to two officers of UPCL, the workers' union said that a large number of local workers employed by various contractors were working at the UPCL since 2005. They had put in a lot of hard work in establishing the plant. But the company management had not provided them with basic facilities and higher salaries, which was unfair.
The company should give a minimum salary of Rs. 10,000 a month for employees working at the lower level of the hierarchy. The salaries should be revised every year and bonus given annually.
In case of the death of a worker on duty in an accident at the plant, his family members should be given a relief of Rs. 5 lakh. If a worker became disabled during such an accident, he should be given a relief of Rs. 10 lakh. They should be provided with residential and vehicle facilities.
The company should hire more locals. The company should bear the medical expenses of the workers, provide them with health cards and hold a medical camp annually.
Ashwin Devadiga, member of the Advisory Committee of the Sangha told The Hindu that operators, security staff and those in maintenance department took part in the protest.

Natasha Dowie hit a brilliant hat-trick as Liverpool Ladies ran riot with a 9-0 win away at Doncaster Belles on Saturday night.
Matt Beard's charges were 7-0 up at the break and the home side were not helped by being reduced to 10 players after just six minutes.
The victory sees Liverpool strengthen their position at the top of the Women's Super League and puts more pressure on Arsenal and Bristol.
Captain Gemma Bonner fired Beard's side into the lead after just three minutes after Amanda Da Costa had fired against the bar, and Louise Fors made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after six minutes.
Dowie then fired twice including a penalty and a Fara Williams double made it 6-0 on 37 minutes as Liverpool kept up attack after attack.
Dowie then fired a hat-trick five minutes before the break as Liverpool were 7-0 up at half-time.
Nicole Rolser made it 8-0 16 minutes from time, and Doncaster's miserable evening was completed in stoppage time when Kate Longhurst made it 9-0 with a stoppage time strike.

Hand-held near-infrared (NIR) optical imagers are developed by various researchers towards non-invasive clinical breast imaging. Unlike these existing imagers that can perform only reflectance imaging, a generation-2 (Gen-2) hand-held optical imager has been recently developed to perform both reflectance and transillumination imaging. The unique forked design of the hand-held probe head(s) allows for reflectance imaging (as in ultrasound) and transillumination or compressed imaging (as in X-ray mammography). Phantom studies were performed to demonstrate two-dimensional (2D) target detection via reflectance and transillumination imaging at various target depths (1–5 cm deep) and using simultaneous multiple point illumination approach. It was observed that 0.45 cc targets were detected up to 5 cm deep during transillumination, but limited to 2.5 cm deep during reflectance imaging. Additionally, implementing appropriate data post-processing techniques along with a polynomial fitting approach, to plot 2D surface contours of the detected signal, yields distinct target detectability and localization. The ability of the gen-2 imager to perform both reflectance and transillumination imaging allows its direct comparison to ultrasound and X-ray mammography results, respectively, in future clinical breast imaging studies.
Diagnostic imaging of early-stage breast cancer is essential for decreasing the cancer death rate in the United States. The conventional anatomical based screening techniques (
In recent years, hand-held based NIR optical imagers are developed in an attempt to translate the near-infrared (NIR) imaging technology to clinic breast imaging [
All the hand-held imagers available to date have only flat probe heads, which limit them from: (i) contouring to tissue curvatures with good surface contact; and (ii) obtaining depth information, due to lack of transillumination measurements (since they obtain only reflectance measurements). In addition, it is not appropriate to compare reflected optical images to the gold-standard X-ray mammography images that acquire transilluminated (or transmitted) signals.
A (generation-1 or Gen-1) novel hand-held probe based optical imager was developed in our Optical Imaging Laboratory and its feasibility towards two-dimensional (2D) surface mapping and three-dimensional (3D) tomographic imaging has been demonstrated on cubical tissue phantoms [
The focus of the current work is to demonstrate the feasibility of performing both reflectance and transillumination imaging using this Gen-2 hand-held optical imager. The improvement in deep target detection using transillumination measurements over reflectance is assessed. In addition, new data post-processing techniques have been developed to improve target detectability and from surface optical measurements (both reflectance and transillumination).
The Gen-2 optical imager primarily consists of 3 components; the forked hand-held probe, the illumination system, and the detection system (see
The illumination system allows for both sequential as well as simultaneous illumination of the 3 + 3 sources via 6 laser diodes operated using a multi-channel laser diode controller [
For the current studies, CW-based imaging was performed on tissue phantoms, where the exposure time of the ICCD camera was maintained at 0.2 s for all the studies. Ten repeated images were acquired at each location during experiments, and the average optical signal was used for further analysis.
Diffuse optical imaging studies were performed on cubical and slab phantoms filled with 3% Liposyn solution (Hospira, Inc. Lake Forest, IL, USA). Spherical targets of 0.45 cc (0.95 cm diameter) filled with 0.08% (by volume) India Ink (absorbing agent) (Chartpak, Leeds, MA.) and 3% Liposyn solution were employed. Reflectance (simultaneous bilateral) and transillumination experiments were performed under different experimental conditions of target depth (1–5 cm), and India Ink target: background (T:B) contrast ratio (e.g., 0.08%:0, and 0.08%:0.0008% or 1:0 and 100:1, respectively). The details of the experimental cases are given in
The optical properties of 3% Liposyn solution in terms of absorption (μa) and reduced scattering (μs') coefficient are 0.09 and 9.5 cm−1, respectively, as measured using our single pixel homodyne optical imaging system. The typical optical properties of human breast tissues are μa = 0.04 ± 0.02 cm−1, μs′ = 8 ± 4 cm−1 [
The optical data acquired by the ICCD camera is in terms of a.b.u., which corresponds to the detected intensity signal from the various detection points on the imaged surface. These pixelated optical data acquired for the entire imaged region of the ICCD camera is then used to extract meaningful data corresponding to the detection fiber regions (
In all experimental cases, a subtraction technique is employed to remove the background noise and improve the optical contrast between the target(s) and the background. The technique is implemented differently for reflectance (simultaneous bilateral) and transillumination based experimental studies. In the case of reflectance studies, two identical cubical phantoms are employed during each experimental study, one with and the other without a target. Subtraction technique is implemented by subtracting the normalized average intensity data (
Despite applying the subtraction technique, artifacts existed typically at the detection points close to the points of illumination, say ∼0.5 cm. Hence to remove any residual excitation leakage of the sources close to the detection points, the detection points located 0.5 cm around the points of illumination were removed. Removing these detection points tends to minimize the artifacts due to excitation leakage.
After applying subtraction technique and removal of detectors around sources, the discrete intensity data across the detector points of a probe head surface are plotted as surface contour plots for a clear visual representation of the images. Plotting of these remaining sparse detection points' subtracted intensity data (spaced 0.5 cm w.r.t each other) as surface contour plots via linear interpolations (as built-in Matlab functions) displayed multiple artifacts with no distinct target. Hence higher order polynomial fitting interpolations were attempted to better represent the 2D surface images. From extensive simulation studies involving phantoms with single targets, it was observed that the 5th degree polynomial was the best fit to the detection points (at similar locations as in experimental cases). Hence, a double regression algorithm using the 5th degree polynomial fit was developed and implemented to the experimental data points (after applying all the post-processing techniques described in Sections 2.3.1 and 2.3.2), in order to generate 2D surface contour images with minimal artifacts. At this stage, the developed polynomial fitting approach is limited to single target based phantom data and not for multiple targets.
The centroid of the detected 2D target location was estimated from the maximum intensity detected in the 2D surface contour plot (obtained via polynomial fit). Full-width half max (FWHM) values were calculated in both x- and y-axis of the polynomial fitted experimental data and further averaged to estimate the 2D target size (as diameter). The measurement errors for each experimental case were evaluated from the average standard deviation across the 10 repeated measurements of normalized intensity data across all the detector points. The recovered or detected T:B contrast ratio was also evaluated as the ratio of the maximum detected intensity in the true target region w.r.t. the mean background intensity.
The effect of implementing the proposed data post-processing techniques (described in Section 2.3) on actual experimental data is shown in
The progression of images exhibit that as the target is closer to the detection surface (
A Gen-2 hand-held optical imager with a unique forked hand-held probe design was developed towards both reflectance and transillumination imaging. In this study, the feasibility of reflectance and transillumination diffuse optical imaging was demonstrated on tissue phantoms. During reflectance imaging targets up to 2.5 cm deep were localized from 2D surface images. During transillumination imaging, targets up to 5 cm deep were localized. It can be observed from these experimental cases that transillumination provides a greater target depth recovery than reflectance imaging. It was also observed that transilluminated signals get weaker when the target is further away from the detected surface (or closer to the illumination surface), especially as T:B contrast ratio reduces.
The unique capability of the Gen-2 hand-held optical imager to perform both reflectance and transillumination imaging is an advantage. For instance a target closer to a surface can be detected by reflectance even at lower T:B contrast ratios, at places where transillumination can be limited by tissue volume or depth. Also flexibility to illuminate one or more point sources simultaneously allows for enhance imaging rates while still detecting deeper targets. Currently,
On a different perspective, in over 75% of the breast cancer cases, tumors are unilateral (

Why do I find many cross-references to PDB in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot?
Last modified September 3, 2013
Some proteins are highly popular because they are of medical interest or can be used in biotechnology. As an example, human Thrombin (P00734) has a very important role in blood clotting, and mutations in this protein can cause dysprothrombinemia, a rare inherited blood clotting disorder.
As a consequence, there is more than one cross-reference to PDB because a number of different structures are available for this protein. Thrombin structures differ for a number of reasons: 1) their resolutions are not the same, 2) some structures apply to the apoprotein while some others apply to the Thrombin complexed with various ligands. The following structures are Thrombin complexed with 4 different inhibitors: 1A2C,1A3B,1A3E,1A46. What is more, scientists have also studied the 3D structures of various mutants.
3D structures convey important experimental evidence on a protein: its secondary structure, how it is folded, which parts of the polypeptide chain are available for interactions with other proteins, which residues are directly involved in the catalytic activity, in metal-binding, etc.
Because 3D structures are so important, we endeavour to be as up-to-date as possible and to show all available cross-references to PDB from proteins in our knowledgebase.

Baju Bakau
Available in Japanese at Atelier Knits
Baju Bakau1 is an elegant pullover (or tunic) finished with slightly flaring lacy bottom and cuffs, the same lovely lace motif as in the Bakau and Serangoon Shawls. The fit is tailored yet relaxed.
You'll knit with Åsa Tricosa's Ziggurat Top-Down Tricnique (inspired by Tuulia's Tailored Sweater Method but knitted in one go):
Everything begins with a cast on for back and shoulders. From here you knit everything from top to bottom with some little zigging and zagging, producing nicely tailored shoulders, a curved neckline, and a slightly fitted body with some ease.
The set in sleeves are also knitted top down and in the round.
A lacy collar band is knitted on last.
Not a seam in sight. No joining of pieces.
There is (opitional) bust and waist shaping which hints at curves but does not cling.
Yarn requirements
3 (3, 3, 3, 3) 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 skeins
metres 840 (880, 940, 990, 1050) 1080, 1140, 1190, 1240, 1280
yards 910 (960, 1020, 1080, 1140) 1180, 1240, 1300, 1350, 1390
The name is a fond nod to Singapore where Baju Bakau was thought up (as were the Bakau and Serangoon shawls). Baju is Malay for long-sleeved shirt, Bakau is a mangrove – the lace arches are a little like arching mangrove roots (albeit a bit more orderly…).

Re: Re-booting TNG For TV?

I recently had the opportunity to look back at some of the early design concepts of TNG's Enterprise interior and bridge, and I got the sense the creators in '87 wanted the ship to be twice as large, less militaristic, much more "casual" in the sense that this was To be a ship with a mission of deep space exploration that would take its crew and families years away from earth. Those artist conceptions looked absolutely impossible to create back then. Perhaps they would serve now, however, as a starting point for a 25th Century Star Trek television show.
An old post, and perhaps others have made this point better...
TNG was really a product of it's time. USA and the USSR were making peace, the economy was strong, oil was cheap, and one could envision a future where the "Space UN" flys around in a hotel filled with children, and the captain was an distinguished older diplomat that could wait 30 seconds to say "shields up" when Romulans appeared.
Would this type of show resonate with the modern audience at all? Efforts to overlay terrorism and war themes onto TNG-era Trek were hamhanded, the antiseptic and verbose nature of the show never quite meshed with the chaos and grit going on around it. (Abrams made it work, but that was a pure action movie with shakycam, miniskirts, and combat boots.)
If they were to attempt such a thing, Riker would become a much larger character, as would Worf; while Crusher, Wesley, and Jordi would be much lesser roles. Also the aesthetics and dialog would be complete different. Now ask yourself if that's what you really want.

The Montana State Legislature's House Judiciary Committee heard a bill that would give district courts authority to rank sex offenders by likelihood of committing another offense.
The state already requires that registered sex offenders to be designated as a tier 1, 2, or 3 offender. But not every sex offender in the state has a designated tier. Specifically those convicted before 1997, or out of state. House Bill 335 would allow district courts to assign tiers to these offenders.
"In Montana, a therapist looks at this offender and they use statistical tools to tell whether this person is likely to reoffend or not. Those statistical tools are not based on the type of offense that you've committed," says State Prosecutor Ole Olsen of the Montana Attorney General's Office. " It's based on your comparison, what your history is like, what your psychological makeup is like compared to other populations."
No one spoke in opposition of the bill

The boat was great, the scenery was great, but the weather was lousy. I stayed outside at the back of the boat so I could take photos. It was wet and cold. I kept on getting raindrops on my camera lens so it is lucky I am a prolific photo taker as I could delete all the spotty ones. We saw quite a few glaciers but two ...

Market Place Classifieds Greater Milwaukee Jobs
During the 10 years Gerard has been one of Dr. Roumiana Stoycheva's patients at First Place Dentistry in Milwaukee, she has become a fan of painless cosmetic dentistry procedures. Missing teeth are a thing of the past as far as today's dentists are concerned, Stoycheva says. Modern procedures to create attractive smiles include veneers, ceramic crowns, implants and whitening procedures. She says smile makeovers begin with a detailed consultation and a realistic assessment of the patient's overall dental health, budget and lifestyle.
"Carol had slightly discolored and misaligned teeth that she was unhappy with for years, and some missing teeth," Stoycheva says. Gerard's old bridges were replaced and the misaligned teeth were covered with eight ceramic crowns. "Nobody had ever offered to improve Carol's smile without braces," Stoycheva says.
The crowns on Gerard's upper and lower front teeth not only corrected the alignment issue, they also made her smile noticeably cleaner and brighter. Stoycheva says contemporary ceramic materials look so natural, it's almost impossible to tell whether or not a patient has had crown work done.
Gerard, who has been a widow for six years, says she has started dating again and her new smile has boosted her confidence: "I know a lot of people think at my age, why am I doing this? I did it for me.
"I'm 65 years old now, but people tell me I look like I'm in my 40s," Gerard says. "It's made a big difference in my life."
Corrective dental procedures made a big difference in Dr. Christopher Blake's life as well. "My two front teeth didn't actually come in until I was 12 or 13," Blake says. He hated to have his picture taken and endured the teasing of his peers.
An orthodontist not only treated the condition, he inspired Blake to consider dentistry as a career and became his mentor. By age 14, Blake says, "I was really turned on to dentistry."
Blake, with offices in Brookfield, has been practicing aesthetic dentistry since 1984. He says both materials and the knowledge dentists bring to the procedures have greatly improved over the years.
The process begins with an extensive interview with the patient, he says. They discuss what the patient would like to change about the smile. Blake continues with a thorough evaluation of the patient, where he points out "some additional things that they might or might not have noticed. For example, they might come in with a crooked tooth, but they haven't noticed that their gums are uneven.
"We need to identify what they don't like and then educate them on potential other problems that might be occurring. And let them decide, once they see that. It's a communication process."
Armed with a list of issues that the patient wants corrected, Blake creates a treatment plan to address those objectives. The plan may include items such as straighter teeth, whiter teeth or teeth that look more natural. It could include functional items, such as improved chewing, better speech or correction of muscle issues. He looks at the bite, because when top and bottom teeth are out of balance, the result may be chipping, wear and headaches.
A detailed examination follows. "The foundation of successful cosmetic dentistry is proper diagnosis," Blake explains. If gums and bone are not healthy, those problems need to be corrected before any cosmetic procedures are begun. Any functional issues must be addressed as well.
The next step is working with a dental lab to create a series of three-dimensional models of the proposed cosmetic work, including "before and after" models so that both dentist and patient have a clear idea of how the transformation will look.
The patient is then fitted with temporary plastic versions of the veneers, bridges, bonding, crowns or other corrective devices. Blake says he spends a lot of time during this "test drive" refining the installations to make sure that everything is functioning properly and is aesthetically pleasing.
"We don't go to porcelain until the patient is happy with the temporaries that they've been wearing in their mouth for weeks or months," Blake says.
Because of the time involved, the process can be costly, Blake says, "but if done right, it can be life-changing for people emotionally."
Successful cosmetic procedures are rewarding for the dentist as well.
"I never get a hug when I do a root canal, but I do get a hug when I change somebody's smile and set their smile free," Blake says.
For one of Blake's patients, a college student, the smile makeover was so dramatic that it pointed her in a new career direction. She has just been accepted into the Marquette University Dental School program, and Blake has become her mentor.

Redskins' Kettani to celebrate promotion to Navy lieutenant
Washington Redskins fullback Eric Kettani, a 2009 Navy graduate, will celebrate his promotion from lieutenant junior grade to lieutenant Monday at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va. Kettani has asked head coach Mike Shanahan and assistant head coach/running backs coach Bobby Turner to do the honor of pinning insignia denoting his new officer rank on his uniform before taking his oath. Kettani has served three years of active duty and deployed with the USS Klakring. He joined the Redskins as a free agent Sept. 11 and was a practice squad member during the team's NFC East title run last season. He used the 2013 offseason to tour military bases across the country to honor and recognize service members for their contributions and sacrifice.

Yoga for Your Mind and Body Besides being an effective stretching component of any fitness routine, yoga also offers a powerful mental workout that can help you beat stress, feel more in control of your life, and stay healthier. It starts with how you talk to yourself. "One of the fundamental philosophies of yoga is that your body can only respond to what your mind tells you," says Judith Hanson Lasater, Ph.D., P.T., a San Francisco yoga teacher and author of A Year of Living Your Yoga. For example, if you see a coiled rope during a hike in the woods and you think it's a snake, your body will react as if it's real: Your heart will beat faster, and if you're afraid of snakes, you may get the urge to run. Fight or flight Similarly, if you're late for an appointment and tell yourself you're stressed, you'll help create the stress and its effects because you're equating yourself with the feeling. Naturally, your body will go into emergency mode and activate the fight-or-flight response, which gets your adrenaline pumping, increases your heart rate and blood pressure, and diffuses your ability to concentrate. If you trigger the fight-or-flight response daily for routine matters—everything from "I'm going to be late," to "Hey, she took my parking space!"—your nervous system will be chronically revved, which can harm your health in the long run. To disengage from constant crisis mode, one of the most effective things you can do is distance yourself by stating how you feel as an observable fact. "For example, instead of saying to yourself, 'I'm stressed,' say 'I'm having a stressful thought' or 'I'm feeling stressed because I didn't leave as much time as I would have liked to do this task,'" Lasater says. Effective tool That slight change of perspective is one of yoga's most transformative tools for helping control your reaction to a circumstance so you're less overwhelmed by it. You can use yoga throughout the day to disengage the fight-or-flight response. Here are two small yoga moves that can give your mind-set a makeover: Make peace with the present moment. When you start noticing how you feel and begin to censor your self-talk, it's typical to get the urge to try to feel differently. For example, if you feel impatient, you may start saying to yourself: "I feel impatient right now. I really shouldn't feel this impatient. It's not that big a deal. What's wrong with me?" "But, by accepting what you're feeling, you're able to make peace with the present moment," Lasater says. "The paradox is that as you accept your impatience, boredom, anger, or whatever, the feeling will dissipate." Play dead. To mentally recharge, take a 10- to 20-minute timeout in the afternoon. Close the door, lie flat on a mat or the floor, and put your feet up on a chair. If you wear glasses, take them off, close your eyes, and just completely relax. This variation on the corpse pose promotes circulation in the legs and has positive effects on digestion, elimination, blood pressure, and blood chemistry. "Being silent and still is the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of your life," Lasater says. "By the time it's over, you'll feel rested and rejuvenated."

Ms. Nielsen's message has survived an entire century.
In the last photo, you'll see a young lady's tag from October 1909. It is slightly obscured by a modern billboard. In a few weeks, the advertisement will have changed. But Ms. Nielsen's tag will live on. I wonder if she could have imagined that her spontaneous scrawl would survive an entire century? Or be blogbeamed around the world?

The Harry Potter Lexicon is an encyclopedia of Harry Potter canon material. It was founded in July 2000 by Steve Vander Ark, who has since gained notoriety for attempting to publish the contents of the Lexicon against the wishes of J.K. Rowling. (See Harry Potter Lexicon Trial.)
The Lexicon is a winner of J. K. Rowling's Fan Site Award. Rowling said, before she brought legal issue: :[2] "This is such a great site that I have been known to sneak into an internet café while out writing and check a fact rather than go into a bookshop and buy a copy of Harry Potter (which is embarrassing). A website for the dangerously obsessive; my natural home."
