I think his defense at 1st is pretty poor as well, but the guy seems like a great one to have in the clubhouse, and is a very tough out when he is on.
Id expect something like his 08-09 seasons. Maybe a tad better. Anyone expecting 2011 will be disappointed
I think it's a decent deal. He's not a great 1B though. His value is so much less at 1B than it would be as a catcher. .220/19 HRs has to be in the bottom third of 1B production in MLB. It's pretty decent for a catcher though.
Lakers Off-Season Checklist:
[X] Trade Bynum for D12
[X] Get a PG(Nash!)
[X]Re-sign Hill or sign Camby
[ ]Sign Grant Hill---NOPE
[X]Sign Jamison
[X]Sign a Back-up Guard(Barbosa, Mayo, Meeks, etc.)
[X]Re-sign Devin Ebanks
[X]Re-sign Darius Morris

Napoli, over the last three seasons has hit
He is well above league average as an offensive first basemen.
No season in his big league career has he been as bad as the league average offensive first basemen.
Salty will probably be traded unless they can put Lavarnway in a bigger trade. Lavarnway and Napoli will probably split time at 1B with 2/5 catching each and Ross with the other 1/5 or some oreientation of that
lol, small kid got tripped by a tuba player
looking at the Red Sox roster, I don't see anyone who would be the starting 1B. I assume that would now be Napoli?
with the Astros in the AL and more interleague games, that means less games for Ortiz at DH. would the Sox then use Ortiz at 1B and Napoli at catcher?
Kudos to getting the contract to 3 years I guess. In the end it's a decent contract. Won't go down as great, but won't haunt them down the road. But I'm allowed to have my own opinion and I'm not a huge fan of this guy. I thought with them shedding so much payroll they would have tried to get a star player ( and maybe they still will who knows?).

Archbishop Murphy hires onetime assistant as next head coach
Jerry Jensen coached under Terry Ennis after playing at the UW and in the NFL
So it was particularly meaningful for Jensen on Tuesday when he was named the new head coach at Archbishop Murphy High School, the program later begun by Ennis and one he quickly raised to prominence.
"I'm honored to be able to coach at the same place where (Ennis) started," said Jensen, a 1993 Cascade graduate who later played at the University of Washington and for two seasons in the NFL. "I witnessed the very first practice he had there, and I remember thinking, 'What in the heck is Coach Ennis doing?'
"But it was absolutely amazing what he created here, and to be a part of that is an honor," he said.
In 2004, Jensen became an Archbishop Murphy assistant coach with Ennis, who died in 2007. After leaving Archbishop Murphy in 2009, Jensen was out of football until this past season, when he was a volunteer assistant coach at Mount Vernon High School.
This will be his first head coaching position, and he expects to draw on many of the lessons, philosophies and strategies that he learned from Ennis.
"Coach Ennis always got the most out of his players, whether it was in the weight room or on the field," Jensen said. "He expected more out of you than you ever knew you had.
"When I first met Coach Ennis as a freshman, he wasn't putting up with the stuff that I was used to being able to get away with, so we didn't really hit it off right away. But I learned to respect the man for the character and the values he had. And ultimately he raised everybody up around him."
Under Ennis, Archbishop Murphy became a state power, not "because we had all these great athletes," Jensen said. "It was because of the Everyday Joes who'd learned to do things the right way."
Jensen inherits a program that has experienced considerable turmoil in the last year. Dave Ward, who led the Wildcats to the 2010 and 2011 state championship games, was put on administrative leave before being forced out in early February. His replacement, Bill Marsh, resigned four games into the 2012 season. Interim head coach Michael Allison was put on paid administrative leave the day after his promotion when it was learned he had an improper relationship with a former student while coaching previously in Oregon.
Archbishop Murphy athletic director Jerry Zander said Jensen's absence of head coaching experience "doesn't worry me. It wasn't an issue for us. You can't get any head coaching experience without a chance. Jerry's a high character guy and we've seen him coach. We have no reservations of making him a head coach.
"First and foremost," Zander added, "the committee felt that Jerry was the best coach throughout the interview process. The fact he's a known quantity (in Snohomish County) was a bonus."
Jensen has already announced several members of his coaching staff, and many having Snohomish County ties. They include former Cascade teammates Roger Brodniak and Terry Hollimon, former Mariner High School and UW player Shane Fortney, former UW player David Richie, and Joe Ennis, son of Terry Ennis.
Jensen, who will also have a part-time role in the school's athletic department, expects to add 4-5 more coaches to his staff "with some really good people that I'm talking to now."
On Tuesday, Jensen met with his players at the school and he is already making preparations for a winter conditioning program.
"I expect to have fun," he said. "And the only way I know to have fun is to win football games. … I expect a lot of myself and I'll expect a lot of the kids in turn. There's an atmosphere around (the school) that breeds excellence, and that's just what's expected here."
Like the Ennis-coached teams he remembers, "we're going to stress fundamentals and get back to fundamentally sound football," Jensen said. "But the bigger picture of what we're trying to do is to take a kid and turn him into a young man who is going to be a productive member of society."
At a school that pushes students to excel, both in academics and in extracurricular areas, "athletics are just another opportunity to teach those kids how to be successful in life," he said.

Are there any basics in design courses available?
by ZackEvans20 - 6/6/13 9:39 AM
Hi all,
I've just joined cnet, predominently to source advice and help with my many projects - I am a somewhat basic web designer who feels quite comfortable in the coding world but I don't feel I have the design skills to match. This has, in recent times, led me to rely quite heavily on others by purchasing wordpress themes and html templates. I know, I know, what kind of 'web designer' does that?! Well that's exactly why I am here!
I'm wondering if anyone has any recomendations for any basic design courses that I could do online? I don't want to pay a fortune and I'm not looking for any qualification as I believe most are not worth the paper they are written on! This is just to improve my own skills, or lack thereof! So anything that starts from the bottom e.g. colour matching etc would be great.
I want to show some examples of what I can do to give you an idea of my current skill set but having read the no spamming post before I started to write this I'm concerned I will get banned or something so I'll just post 2 links and hope for the best:
My own, from scratch, work: Ri Web Design
What I aspire to that I have 'stolen' from a wordpress design: Eight Ray Music Book a Band
As you can see the difference is quite huge and in my own work I've only managed to come up with a statement blue colour offset by white and grey
All help and advice would be much appreciated as I really want to take my work up a level (or 2!)
Many thanks,

Very interesting thread guys.
For me Buddhism can be empowering across the whole range of mind and circumstance. The hope and experience is that practice works to improve our situation. Can a secular Buddhism offer a means of mental health and improvement? It can. Do some of the, for want of a better word, 'crazy' practices, often exasperate delusionary tendencies? What practical means of empowerment, personal change and effective self management is helpful?

Big Time Rush makes a beeline to the big screen (Updated June 19, 2013)
Big Time Rush has been on a big time roll. From their founding fame as TV stars to their emergence as one of America's hot young boy bands, there is no slowing down for this quartet – which also made the leap to the silver screen last year.
It's been a busy 12 months for Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan. The guys of BTR announced they would be starring in their first full-length film in 2012, "Big Time Movie." The story featured them traveling to London, England for their first big world tour, only to get mixed up in a mission to save the world. The film was released on March 10 in the United States, and included a Big Time Movie Soundtrack EP.
Once the hubbub of their big screen debut died down, the guys moved back to writing and recording for their third album, "24/Seven." But that project was interrupted with news that Nickelodeon had renewed the "Big Time Rush" series for a 13-episode fourth season. Production started January 7, 2013, and the fourth season of the show officially kicked off on May 2.
Big Time Rush got back on track, musically speaking, when "24/Seven" (preceded by the promotional single "Like Nobody's Around") was officially released on June 11, 2013 by Columbia Records. The title track, a breezy ode to living every day like a holiday, defines the group's success to date.
Big Time Rush will tour with fellow Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice this summer. The "This Summer Break" tour kicked off June 21 at Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, California and runs through August 10.
About Big Time Rush
When Big Time Rush (also known as BTR) formed in California in 2009, signing with Nickelodeon for a record deal and a television series, it joined a trend across the country and around the world that confirmed only one thing: Boy bands are hot again.
Not only did BTR get a one-hour special preview to launch its debut single, "Big Time Rush," the song became their show's opening theme. The band needed four more releases before the single "Halfway There," peaked onto the Billboard Hot 100, and by September 2010 they made good on the title by launching yet another promotional single, "'Till I Forget About You." When their self-debut album was released, there was a big time rush (literally) to snatch it up. The project sold 67,000 copies in its first week, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and was later certified Gold.
The band members – Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr. and Logan Henderson – have generated a mob of screaming, swooning teenage girls everywhere they play. Thousands of fans showed up on October 11, 2010 for the group's television performance at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City on NBC's The Today Show. Thousands more helped songs like "Boyfriend" (their first official single to mainstream US radio) chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and helped the band get nominated for MTV's Breakthrough Band award in 2011.
On July 22, 2011 the band released a promotional single, "If I Ruled the World," in anticipation of their second album, "Elevate." The project dropped on November 21, 2011 and sold over 70,000 copies in its first week. The group headlined the "Better With U Tour" over 16 dates in February and March 2012. They are currently on a national summer tour that kicked off in July, featuring Cody Simpson, Rachel Crow and Leon Thomas III.
BTR is currently writing and recording new songs for their third studio album. The first single, "Windows Down," was released on June 25.

What is jazz?
That's the question you inevitably wind up asking yourself after experiencing the Playboy Jazz Festival, which celebrated its 34th year at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday. Day two of the popular, well-regarded festival continues Sunday.
Is Ozomatli, the Latin fusion rock band from Los Angeles (and one of the headliners of Saturday's show), jazz? Not really, unless you call its forays into cumbia, salsa and hip-hop jazz.
Are Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings jazz? No, funk and soul would more aptly describe this talented outfit from Georgia and New York.
Are Christian McBride and his big band jazz? Yes, definitely. They're about as straight-ahead jazz as you can get.
And so, the Playboy Jazz Festival entertained a sold-out audience on Saturday, with plenty of jazz and acts that don't really fit the definition of jazz. Most attendees didn't seem to mind that the rules were bent a bit – they were just out for a good time with plenty of quality live music that doesn't require membership to a special club or cult to enjoy.
The LAUSD/Beyond the Bell All-City Jazz Big Band opened the show, followed by the Louie Cruz Beltran Ensemble. Both provided solid, though not unforgettable, performances.
Next was the Cos of Good Music, an eclectic ensemble with none other than festival master of ceremonies Bill Cosby on the drums. This will be Cosby's last Playboy Jazz Festival as MC, and an acknowledgment for his years of dedication should go out to him. Plus, he was pretty good on that drum kit, too.
All the members of the Cos of Good Music demonstrated chops with their instruments, but the young woman who nearly stole the show was Erena Terakubo, a Japanese native who plays alto sax and is only 20 years old. With sophisticated phrasing and cool confidence on one of contemporary music's biggest stages, she performed well beyond her years.
The Soul Rebels followed Cos, and that horn-heavy band from New Orleans definitely livened things up. They did a clever, brass-fueled version of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams," then brought onstage special guests Ivan Neville (son of Aaron Neville of the Neville Brothers) on the piano and vocals, as well as Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. Big Chief offered vocals and some taps on a tambourine, but it was his colorful outfit of Native American feathers that signified that he's a special dude. Oh, and he can sing, too.
Next was Global Gumbo All-Stars, a slower, more mellow quartet, compared to its predecessors. The All-Stars took it down a few notches, yet still managed to showcase some deft guitar playing by Lionel Loueke and edgy piano playing by Alfredo Rodriquez, who plunked many dissonant notes that nonetheless sounded great.
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings offered an energetic, soul and funk sound that conjured up 1960s Motown, James Brown and Tina Turner. The Dap Kings accompanied the late Amy Winehouse on her first U.S. tour and appeared on her "Back to Black" album, so you know they're at least kind of good.
With her soulful voice and instinctually sharp timing, Jones is a revelation. Man, can she sing. The group's version of "This Land is Your Land" was funky and fresh, and the band also offered tasty samples from its latest album, "100 Days, 100 Nights."
Again, was it jazz? Maybe not. Was it good? Absolutely.

The ninth edition of 'Hard Knocks' will be the first to feature the Atlanta Falcons. 'Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Atlanta Falcons' debuts Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 10:00-11:00 PM ET/PT. Other hour-long episodes debut subsequent Tuesdays at the same time, with an encore play Wednesdays at 11:00 PM, all culminating in the Sept. 2 season finale.
"We are thrilled that the ninth edition of the Hard Knocks series will spotlight the Atlanta Falcons," says Ken Hershman, president of HBO Sports. "It's exciting to feature a team, a franchise and a city for the first time on Hard Knocks. We are grateful to Coach Mike Smith and the entire organization for agreeing to participate and look forward to what we expect to be one of the most exciting seasons in Hard Knocks history. The series has become one of the few summertime programs that is truly appointment TV and we can't wait for the premiere on August 5."
"We're excited to work with the Atlanta Falcons and HBO Sports on Hard Knocks," says Howard Katz, COO of NFL Films and NFL Senior Vice President of Broadcasting. "We want to thank Arthur Blank, Thomas Dimitroff, Mike Smith and the entire Falcons organization for the trust they have in NFL Films by allowing us unprecedented access into their training camp. The Falcons present numerous storylines with a veteran coaching staff, star players and newcomers all coming together to attempt to rise up back to the top of the NFC."
The cinema verité series will focus on the daily lives and routines of players and coaches as the Falcons, who play in the talent-rich NFC South, conduct the franchise's 49th training camp and prepare for the 2014 NFL season. It will chronicle the efforts of seventh-year head coach Mike Smith and an intriguing mix of high-profile veterans, emerging stars, free agents and rookie hopefuls throughout training camp and the four-game preseason schedule. Each week, players will experience drills, instruction, meetings and fun, while striving to prove they have what it takes to make the team and leave their mark on the NFL. The Falcons have earned a postseason playoff berth in four of the six years that Smith has been at the helm.
"We are excited about the opportunity to give our fans a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to prepare an NFL team for the rigors of a 16-game regular season and beyond," says Falcons Owner and Chairman Arthur M. Blank. "This marks the first time that our franchise will be featured on Hard Knocks and we look forward to showcasing our great players and coaches to football fans all across America."
A 30-person NFL Films crew will be at the Falcons' training camp at team headquarters in Flowery Branch, Ga., shooting more than 1,500 hours of footage over the course of the series. Camera and sound crews will have unencumbered access to the players' and coaches' meeting rooms, training rooms, living quarters and practice fields.
"We are looking forward to connecting with our fans across the country as the program chronicles our 2014 training camp," says Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith. "The series will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the competition between players as we build our roster and prepare for the season. We are looking forward to the start of camp in late July."
No other sports reality series can match the critical acclaim, awards and audience numbers posted by the Hard Knocks franchise. Launching with the Baltimore Ravens in 2001, Hard Knocks followed up with the Dallas Cowboys in 2002. The series resumed in 2007 with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Sports Emmy®. In 2008, the series returned to the Dallas Cowboys, receiving a second Sports Emmy® for production excellence. In 2009, Hard Knocks spotlighted the Cincinnati Bengals and captured two more Sports Emmy® Awards, for Outstanding Edited Series/Anthology and Outstanding Post-Produced Audio/Sound. In 2010, the New York Jets were featured and the series captured three Sports Emmys®, including Outstanding Edited Series/Anthology. Summer 2012 spotlighted the Miami Dolphins, earning the franchise an eighth Sports Emmy®, in the category of Outstanding Post-Produced Audio/Sound. The Bengals were featured again in 2013 and the series captured three more Sports Emmys®, bringing to 11 the number of trophies awarded to the franchise for production excellence. Last summer's spotlight on the Bengals was recognized with the Sports Emmy® for Outstanding Editing, Outstanding Music Composition/Direction/Lyrics and Outstanding Post Produced Audio/Sound.
Each of the last four teams featured on Hard Knocks has improved its won-loss record in the regular season that immediately follows the training camp presentation.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – A basket by Pfeiffer University's Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) gave the Falcons their first and only needed lead of the night in a 79-70 Conference Carolinas men's basketball comeback win over Barton College on Monday night. Pfeiffer trailed by as much as 17 with 14:34 as the victory moves them to 5-4, 3-0 atop the league's standings. The Bulldogs suffer their first loss of the new year falling to 7-5, 2-2.
A jumper by Barton's Gerald Boston (Burlington, NC) put the visitors up 17, 53-36, with 14:34 remaining to cap off a 7-0 run. A three-point by the Falcons Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) started the comeback as Pfeiffer drained six of their eight triples over the final 14 minute span.
Each team traded baskets midway through the second half as a dunk by Evan Shelton (Charlotte, NC) and jumper by Greg Mammal (San Antonio, TX) kept the Bulldogs up 14 crossing the halfway point of the period. A quick floater by Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) and three by Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) put the hosts within seven with 8:33 to play.
Three Barton turnovers helped keep the Falcons within seven until Yuki Yamaguchi (Tokyo, JAPAN) hit another crucial long range shot slicing the Bulldog lead down to four. Barton responded with a pair of Boston free throws and triple by Mike Flowers (Copenhagen, DENMARK), but Pfeiffer roared back on a 9-0 run grabbing the lead for good. Humphrey sparked the run with his third and final three of the night while Hollinger added two more free throws. Woods and Hollinger each threw down hard dunks over the final few minutes.
Barton started the night on an 8-0 run, forcing an early Falcon timeout, before jumping out to a 17-4 lead on a layup by Jaren Haley (Woodbridge, VA). Woods helped trimmed the deficit down to six at the 12:45 mark, but another Boston jumper had the lead back to 16 with 6:35 to play before the break. Pfeiffer went into the locker room after a 13-5 run to close out the half, trailing the Bulldogs 41-34 at the intermission.
Woods led all scorers with a game-high 25 points to go along with his dozen rebounds. Hollinger followed with 17 while Humphrey contributed with 15. For the Bulldogs, Jarrett Jernigan (Virginia Beach, VA) paced the visitors with 16 while Boston and Haley came up with 14 and 11 respectively.
Barton shot 51% from the field in the loss, but went just 1-for-4 from behind the arc in the second half to conclude the night 7-of-15. Pfeiffer drained eight triples on the night making up the difference at the charity stripe shooting 81% in the second half.
Pfeiffer will now take a couple of days off before hosting Mount Olive on Thursday night. Tip time is set for 7:30 p.m. inside the Merner Gym.

RICHARD FERGUSON thinks Cobus Reinach is in line to be the next Springbok scrumhalf.
Cobus Reinach has gone from Currie Cup young gun to Super Rugby first choice in a matter of months, and it is only a matter of time before he pulls on the Green and Gold jersey.
Reinach burst onto the scene during the 2012 Currie Cup season, displacing Charl McLeod as first choice scrumhalf. This has continued into the Super Rugby season, as McLeod is yet to get onto the field in 2013.
Comparing them, Reinach is the faster of the two, getting his speed from his dad Jaco Reinach, who was a Springbok winger in the 80's. His speed is not his only attribute as he also makes fewer mistakes and seems a lot more confident in his decision making. Reinach also has the better boot of the two and can take pressure off his pivot.
Reinach attended Grey Bloem before making the move to the Sharks Academy, where he came through the Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup age group system. He was backup to both Charl McLeod and Fred Michalak during the last Super Rugby season, but with the Frenchman returning home, Reinach got his chance in the Currie Cup, and took it with both hands.
Coach John Plumtree has backed the youngster by giving him plenty of game time and he has rewarded his coach's faith by putting in one good performance after another. Should Reinach continue in the same vein of form, it is only a matter of time before he cracks the nod at test level.
Looking at the group of scrumhalves in South Africa, a dour selection for a position that has delivered so many greats, he could quickly become a top contender for the jersey. Current holder of the jersey, Ruan Pienaar, has been solid without being spectacular while Francois Hougaard has failed to show his replacement impact as a starter.
Between Reinach and Nic Groom, the Stormers' young scrumhalf, the future of Springbok scrumhalves looks bright.

Menu card used as a thank you card at the reception
Quality of the menu card is great; thick paper with a smooth finish. We decided to use this menu card as a thank you card at the reception. On one side we listed one of our favorite quotes and an overall "thank you", wishing everyone a wonderful evening as they help us celebrate our big day. On the back side, we added the answers to our crossword puzzle that was found in the program during our ceremony. We were able to add two custom graphics. The design team was fabulous in making this work.
I would highly recommend Magnastreet
I used Magnetstreet to do all of our day-of-paper for our wedding and I am so glad that I did. Aside from the price being right, especially because they send you coupons, I was able to personalize everything. I was able to find programs, menu cards, place cards, and favor tags that all fit in with the design of my wedding and complemented the invitations I had sent out. It was so easy to work the website and save your work and edit the colors. I loved how you could instantly see the changes in fonts and colors on your computer screen. There were a few changes that I needed made that I couldn't do myself such as spacing and font style so I submitted a note for it to be changed and the way they did this and sent you proofs back to approve--and kept fixing it until it was right was great and very user friendly. They got us our items very quickly in the mail. It's also a good idea to order just one of whatever piece you are working on to see how it looks before you order a bunch of them as we changed a few things after seeing these. Magnetstreet gives you a code so you can apply the money you paid for that single proof towards your large order. Highly, highly recommend to any bride!!
Invitations & RSVPs
I asked for sample products of invitations even asking for a specific style so I could better visualize. They sent me exactly what I wanted and I fell in love with one specific pocket invitation style and the linen paper. I was not fully able to personalize everything I had wanted on my invitation/RSVPs (the main background and more specific paragraph spacing) BUT I typed what I wanted into the notes section and the person working on the proofs created exactly what I asked and continued working with me until I was satisfied with what I was getting. They were sent quickly and were just as fabulous as I had hoped. RSVP post cards were printed on very sturdy paper and the quality of everything was great. I would recommend magnet street. I had also gotten my save the dates from here too...LOVE!
Absolutely Stunning!
I absolutely loved these. The size is perfect and it was sooo easy to customize the design how I wanted. The quality was great! They look a lot more expensive then they were. The printing was great, text sizes were perfect. They came very quickly and I am excited to share these menu cards with my guests at my wedding. Thank you Magnetstreet for making this process so easy for me.

Reengineering the Human Body
The EyeThe EarThe SpineThe BladderThe HipsThe ArmsThe KneesThe LegsThe Heart
Today's biotech entrepreneurs are confronting medical conditions head-on with innovative technologies -- some changing the way new procedures are marketed, others looking to drive down health care costs altogether. From head to toe, here are some promising companies who are transforming the human body -- one organ at a time.
The aftermath of an eye surgery can often be a painful one -- possible infections loom, as well as blurred vision and inflammation. I-Therapeutix, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, developed the I-ZIP bandage, a hydrogel coating that offers a suture-free method for healing cataract incisions. The company, which closed a $15 million round of venture capital in June, also hopes to aid glaucoma patients by creating gel-like eyelid inserts that will administer medication automatically.
Many hearing aids are ungainly; their sound can be muffled by surrounding noise. The Lyric hearing aid created by Insound Media, of Newark, California, fits deep in the ear canal, close to the eardrum, and can be worn 24 hours a day for months at a time. In addition to the high-quality sound, the devices promise users worry-free showers and comfortable sleep. The company is experimenting with a subscription-revenue model that covers replacements, upgrades, and visits to the audiologist; Insound Media charges an annual fee of $1,650, compared to the one-time price tag of $2,000 for most other hearing aid models.
Hoping to become the first company to effectively treat spinal cord injury, InVivo Therapeutics, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has developed a biodegradable polymer. The substance can be injected into the spinal cord and forms a "scaffold" that reduces cell death and helps to support and repair the spinal cord. If the treatment works, it could dramatically reduce the lifetime cost of caring for those suffering from paralysis, which can rise to more than $3 million per patient.
Interstitial cystitis – also known as painful bladder syndrome – has been known to drastically decrease a sufferer's quality of life. But developers at Taris Biomedical, in Lexington, Massachusetts, are hoping their treatment, a tiny "pretzel" made of silicone that floats in the bladder and releases local anesthetic, will help relieve the chronic pain and frequent urination patients endure. The company, which raised $15 million in June, hopes to begin trial treatments in early 2010.
Most effective osteoporosis treatments require daily hormone injections. MicroCHIPS of Bedford, Massachusetts, has created an implantable device that can deliver a drug dosage once a day, without fail, and can store as much as a year's worth of treatment in its reservoirs. The company, funded by a consortium of venture funds, hopes to build tiny "rescue" devices into its product that could sense low glucose levels in diabetics and even alert medical personnel to dangerously low levels of blood sugar.
Up to 75 percent of stroke survivors suffer from partial paralysis of an arm, and only 15 percent of them regain full control of their limbs through rehabilitation. So Charlestown, Massachusetts-based Myomo – through its new technology platform NeuroRobotics – created a bionic arm, which attaches to the paralyzed arm like a brace, and uses electronic feedback to help a patient regain movement in the affected muscles. The price will be $5,000 or less.
Knee-replacement surgery can be a painstaking process for both the patient and the surgeon. But rather than replacing an entire knee joint, ConforMIS has developed a procedure in which the joint can be scanned and "resurfaced," so that patient-specific problems can be addressed. Surgeons using the process can complete knee operations in 30 percent less time, the company says. With $80 million in funding, the Burlington, Massachusetts-based company also holds patents to apply the technology to the hip, ankle, and spine.
Arteries taken from one part of a patient's body during a surgical procedure to, say, remove a blood clot from the leg are sometimes damaged. In efforts to reduce the failure of artery grafts, Organovo, based in San Diego, is developing organ-printing technology that can create "tissue on demand" to rebuild blood vessels. The company's bioprinter can produce three-dimensional patterns that grow into organs, providing surgeons with fresh blood vessels. Backed by a $5 million National Science Foundation grant, the company is planning to begin studies of the artificial tissue in lab animals this year.
The companies Corventis and Cardiac Concepts both aim to monitor the vitals of heart patients, so as to decrease post-operative heart failure. The AVIVO system by San Jose, California-based Corventis attaches to the chest like a large bandage, and transmits information wirelessly to doctors who are miles away, saving the patient money by reducing hospital visits. The fee for weekly service is about $400 to $700. Meanwhile, Cardiac Concepts, in Minnetonka, Minnesota, implants a device in the body that tracks changes in respiration; in particular, it is intended to prevent sleep apnea-induced heart problems. Think of it as a mechanical "nudge" from a bedmate when snoring too loudly.

How do "Biblical literalists" and other Young Earth Creationists account for the fact that some cultures have been continuously measuring the years for almost five millenia?
Lining up dates from ancient documents and inscriptions is not an easy thing to do. You don't find ancient records that say, "Our nation was established on June 12, 3462 BC", for the simple reason that our modern calendar did not exist back then. So even when an ancient source gives a date, it is in the calendar they used at the time, and historians have to try to match that up to modern calendars. Scholars debate these sort of things endlessly.
So the reality is not that ancient Egyptian or Hittite or Sumerian or whatever chronologies contradict the Bible chronology. Rather, it is that SOME INTERPRETATIONS of ancient Egyptian, etc chronologies contradict SOME INTERPRETATIONS of the Bible chronology. Put that way, it's hardly an astounding fact. Reporters trying to describe current events often have difficulty fitting together all the different accounts of an event into a single coherent narrative.
When people talk about taking Bible dates literally, they usually eventually refer to James Ussher, who used the genealogies and other information in the Bible to estimate the date of creation at about 4004 BC. Modern young-earth creation theorists generally accept that as at least a ballpark, though many would stretch it out a few thousand years. Some secular historians claim to trace historical records back to circa 6000 BC. So yes, there's a discrepancy to be resolved, but it's on the same order of magnitude. No one claims to be able to trace historical records back a million years or a billion years. The histories of cultures around the world are at least generally consistent with young-earth Biblical chronology. There's no way you could use them as evidence for an evolutionary time-scale.
While is true that there are cultures that have written dates prior to the Tower or the Flood, it is also true that there are cultures such as the Mayans that date their calendar in "days since the flood" and which are quite close to the dates from Scripture.
The Mayan stories of the Popol Vuh, while not containing an ark story, do contain a universal flood and I find it quite interesting that their dates are so similar to biblical chronology.
My point is, this issue is something of a non sequitur. Certainly there are records with wide variance from Scripture, but there are also records with quite similar timelines.
Clarence Larkin's chart on the table of nations suggests that Noah himself, after the flood, was the father of the Asian races. His lifespan happens to date back 5 millenia. So, it certainly would be possible that the Chinese date back five millenia.
The fact that their language changed at the Tower of Babel does not mean that all history was lost at that time either. The people at that time didn't just forget everything that happened before their language was confused. They very well could have all been keeping track of dates since Noah, the father of all the earth, was born.
Admittedly, we can't know for sure at this point, but this is certainly a reasonable possibility.
If these "historical records" could be trusted as absolute truth then this would be a problem for Young Earth Creationists.
However, ask any ancient historian and they will tell you that there has been some major corruption in the so-called "historical records" of ancient cultures. This is due in part to the "age wars" which took place between various ancient societies, each of which was attempting to show their people were the first people!
Remember - if you dig up an ancient scroll or tablet you don't know the words on it are true. Historians have to make assumptions just like scientists, theologians, philosophers, and so on.
I have heard secular historians state that Jewish history is generally considered to be the most reliable. (Of course, they wouldn't include the "creation week" or "worldwide flood" due to the modern scientific position that these things didn't happen. But that's another topic.)
The Young Earth Creationist considers the Bible to be the only historical record which is absolutely true and reliable. Therefore, the YEC (by the same logic) could ask "how do skeptics account for the fact that their beliefs about history conflict with the objective truth of Scripture?" But that would be rhetorical. :)

I have flat feet but the width of the shoe will work out for me. I ordered them in the purple in an 8. I went by the size of my other Ahnu flats and they are perfect. I may have to order them in the denim color. I can hardly wait for nice weather so I can start wearing them. They are very light weight and perfect to pack for a trip. I like that you just slip them on and they feel stable and have some arch support. The thong part does not rub or chafe and they are just very comfortable and cute.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Competing in its final meet before the Mid-American Conference Championships, the Miami University women's track and field team posted two runner-up finishes Friday at the Billy Hayes Invitational, hosted by Indiana University at Haugh Track & Field Complex. Only six RedHawks took part in the meet while the remainder of the team had the weekend off to rest up for the league championships.
Redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.) earned second in the hammer throw with a season-best heave of 53.56m/175-9. She recorded the throw in the finals while landing all six of her attempts in fair ground. Indiana State's Felisha Johnson won with a mark of 53.73m/176-3, despite that being the only throw on which she didn't foul. Gable also placed fifth in the discus with a toss of 42.93m/140-10.
Running the 100m dash for the first time this year, senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) crossed in second as she tied her personal best with a time of 11.70 (wind-aided). She already ranked second in school history in the event while the time ties for the fourth-best all-time at Miami. ISU's Katie Wise won the race in 11.50.
In the 800m run, sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) claimed sixth in 2:14.78. Junior Xerina Hughey (Galloway, Ohio) qualified for the 100m hurdles finals by crossing fifth in the prelims in a season-best 14.37. She finished seventh in the final in 14.39, as the times were her best since her freshman season.
A pair of RedHawks ran in the 1500m invitational run, led by senior Monica Fischer (Cincinnati, Ohio), who finished sixth in a season-best 4:39.45. Sophomore Jess Hoover (Hilliard, Ohio) was 11th in 4:52.19.
Miami now turns its attention toward winning a Mid-American Conference championship, as the RedHawks head to the MAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by the University of Akron from May 9-11 at Akron's Lee R. Jackson Track & Field Complex.
