Considering how
loaded BYU appears to be, what's the one thing standing in the way
of going to the BCS?
From Matt Hodge, www.totalbluesports.com
editor and publisher
The biggest obstacle that BYU faces next season is rebuilding a
good portion of its defense. Seven starters from last season have
graduated. That includes all four starters in the secondary (although
one of them, safety Quinn Gooch, missed the last four games of the
season due to injury) and three of the four starting linebackers.
Meanwhile, two of the three starters (defensive end Ian Dulan and nose
guard Eathyn Manumaleuna, the latter of which blocked UCLA's would-be
winning field goal in the Las Vegas Bowl) on the defensive line will be
taking a two-year break from football to serve missions for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The departing players
accounted for 42 of the team's 53 pass breakups and 15 of the 16
interceptions last season. The offense next season will be loaded and
experienced, but it wasn't until BYU had a strong defense to go along
with its strong offense that the program started winning again. In
Bronco Mendenhall's first season as head coach, the defense was one of
the worst in the country, and the team finished 6-6. In the two seasons
since that one, BYU's defense, outside of a game or two, has been
fantastic and has allowed the Cougars to finish with consecutive 11-2
records and top-15 rankings.
The dramatic turnaround
two seasons ago coincided with the switch from a 3-3-5 defense to a
3-4-4 defense that took advantage of BYU's deep and talented linebacker
corps. In addition, BYU hired Jaime Hill (who was just promoted to
defensive coordinator) to be the secondary coach, and he has done a
fantastic job. By the end of this past season, BYU was starting four
former walk-on defensive backs in the secondary (all of which had served
church missions), yet still managed to finish 10th in total
So, if the coaching
staff can continue to make do with whomever they plug in the defensive
backfield, that will go a long way towards ensuring BYU continues
winning. And while there appears to be some of the best talent and
athleticism that the program has seen in the secondary in quite some
time, the secondary will nevertheless be quite inexperienced next
season, though the team does return Kellen Fowler, who filled in well
for Gooch after his injury late in the season.
As for replacing the
two starters on the defensive line, that doesn't appear to be too much
of an issue. The team will be returning starter Jan Jorgensen, who was
fifth in the nation for sacks per game (14 total sacks on the season),
as well as Brett Denney, a player that the coaches felt very comfortable
with rotating in with the starters. The Cougars will also be getting
former starting nose guard Russell Tialavea back from injury after he
missed all of last season. Finally, the coaches have brought in two
four-star JC defensive linemen in Tevita Hola and Bernard Afutiti.
Finally, the linebacker
corps will return starter David Nixon, but has to replace the other
three starters, two of which (Bryan Kehl and Kelly Poppinga) were team
captains and great playmakers. Like with the secondary, the linebacker
corps will have to rely on former backups that played well when called
upon and some promising - but unproven - athletes.
So to wrap it all up,
the defense isn't expected to be weak at all, and the 3-4-4 scheme and
coaching staff as currently constituted have been very good to BYU's
defense. But, there is something to be said for experience, and the
defense as a whole will not be as experienced as it has been the past
two seasons. That means that the offense might have to carry the load
more if there happens to be growing pains. Sure, the defense could and
probably should gel with the talent and coaching that BYU has, but with
the current BCS system that allows virtually no room for error when it
comes to non-BCS schools, and early non-conference games against UCLA at
home and a possibly improving Washington team on the road (BYU has yet
to win a non-conference road game under Coach Mendenhall), the defense
better gel quickly.
What's the Wyoming quarterback situation? Is Karsten Sween going
to progress into all his early career promise?
From Matt Willie, CowboyBlitz.com
Karsten Sween's starting job is definitely up for grabs right
now. UW coaches brought in both Dax Crum, a 4-star JUCO signal
caller from Mesa Community College, and Adam Barry, a physically
gifted gunslinger from Moorpark High School in Calif, this offseason.
In addition, they return Ian Hetrick, a senior who logged valuable
playing time last year in relief of Sween, and Chris Stutzriem, a
redshirt freshman who happened to be Oklahoma's top-ranked high school
QB in 2006.
I had the chance to talk to Joe Glenn, the head coach, and Ron
Wisniewski, the wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, about
the quarterback situation, and both of them said the competition for the
starting job will be wide open this offseason.
Whether Sween emerges as the starter will depend, for the most part, on
how he adapts to the new offense the Cowboys will be running next
year. Glenn hired a new offensive coordinator/quarterback coach, Bob
Cole, right after the season ended, and he will be installing a brand
new system. That also levels the playing field somewhat, but Sween does
have the most D-I experience of any of the team's QBs.
In my opinion, Sween will be the starter next year and will have a much
more successful season. After seeing what he did this year, it's easy
to forget that this is the same guy that led Wyoming to five wins in
just seven starts as a freshman. The one thing that has been a
consistent problem for him, however, has been protecting the football.
He threw 17 interceptions to just 12 touchdowns this season, and even
back in 2006 he finished the year with eight picks and nine touchdowns.
The great thing is that if he can get on top of his interception
problem, he could truly be one of the best gunslingers in the Mountain
West Conference. If all goes well, Bob Cole's new offense will be the
right fit, Sween will bounce back in a big way, protect the football and
lead the Pokes to bowl eligibility. If he struggles, though, look for
one of the team's other young signal callers to step in and take away
his job.
I think the question of whether or not the Cowboys can bounce back from
their second-half nosedive at the end of last year actually depends a
lot on whether Sween can become the quarterback coaches thought he could
after his freshman season. The Pokes have traditionally boasted tough
defenses in the Glenn era, and next year won't be an exception. They
lose just four defensive starters to graduation (cornerbacks Julius
Stinson and Michael Medina and linebackers John Prater and Sean Claffey)
and appear to have the depth to replace them without missing a beat.
More importantly, the offense will lose just three senior starters from
last year (wide receivers Michael Ford and Hoost Marsh and tight end
Wade Betschart).
With their returning talent, the Cowboys' main question marks will
center around whether their starting quarterback can avoid turnovers and
move the football consistently on offense. If he does, there's no
reason Wyoming shouldn't win at least seven games in '08.
On the other hand, there's no guarantees. All the more reason to watch,
I guess.

We've been involved in the online sign and graphics business since 1997, pioneering the field of online design with the first online design platform launch in 2002 and commercial debut of the RealTimeDesigner in 2006.
We surely have the experience, and have withstood the test of time. New comers to the market often launch with a flashy new website. If only they put as much work into their tool as they do their marketing materials. Every year at the national industry tradeshows we see new products that "look" like the RealTimeDesigner. Unfortunately, few, if any, live to attend the next show.
Regardless, we are often asked "How does RealTimeDesigner compare?"
First, ONLINE DESIGN means so many different things to different people. For the RealTimeDesigner it means Banners, Signs, T-shirts, Magnets, Mugs, Cards, Real Estate, Flags, Boards, Tents...
it includes anything that can be printed or configured at the end-user level, no matter what it is. Also, it includes integration with E-commerce, creating Proofs, generating Print-Ready Files. with RealTimeDesigner - every site is unique in its look and operation.
Rather than a "one size fits all" tool, RealTimeDesigner is an Online Design Framework that allows you to configure it to work within your business flow rather than forcing you to work around it. Many of our clients have converted to RealTimeDesigner because of it's power and flexibility.
For example, these are just some of the unique features you will be hard pressed to find (and nobody else offers all of them together):
- Ability to upload your own TrueType Fonts, in both ttf and otf formats
- Ability for both you and you own end users to upload, edit and use Vector Files directly online (incl. EPS, PDF, PS and SVG)
- Incredible level of Integration and Personalization via our powerful API
- Astonishing set of Included Features
- Crystal clear Pricing
- Includes direct CSS access as well as ability of altering Core Javascript Functions to even alter the tool's behavior!
- Free support and public access to our Forums: we have nothing to hide to the World!
- New features added continuosly and fully based on user inputs. The RealTimeDesigner is a "mature" community-built tool resulting from input of hundreds of real-world users, not something thought up by a couple of offshore developers.
If you'd like to know more and better about what we mean, explore our website and contact our staff for more information and a live demo.

Is it necessary to run the process at the high temperature, or can it be done a tad lower?

Collaboration will further evaluate novel stem cell-derived product for the treatment of fatal neurodegenerative disease by regulating genes relevant to disease progression
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- California Stem Cell, Inc. (CSC) and ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) are pleased to announce an extension and expansion of their collaboration aimed at advancing a potential stem cell therapy for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). This effort will build on work that has already been completed as part of this on-going partnership to understand how stem cells, and their derivatives, may be applied to treatment of this fatal neurodegenerative disease.
In this round of experiments, ALS TDI will use a CSC high-purity line of stem cells, called MotorGraft™, to deliver gene expression modifying payloads to specific locations within the central nervous system. The Institute's "Knowledgesphere", a database of information on gene and protein expression changes related to disease, contains several gene candidates to transfect into stem cells and deliver into the body. The initial phase of this new collaboration will confirm the expression of these genes in vivo. Once expression is confirmed, the collaborators will initiate the second phase of this new collaboration, which calls for several full efficacy experiments in order to measure for any potential ameliorating disease. Members of the CSC science team will travel to ALS TDI to administer the stem cells as part of each experiment.
"As part of our mission, we feel it prudent to work in this arena and will do our part to help advance the understanding of how stem cells could be used to aid in the slowing or stopping of ALS disease progression. We were encouraged b

Galls SE Series body armor delivers lightweight comfort and incredible value. This high-performance vest is Special Threats tested to the US Fragmentation testing protocol: 2, 4, 16 and 64 grain projectiles. 100% Aramid package is made from Twaron ballistic material. Extended coverage provides additional side protection. Fully adjustable polyester-cotton carrier is designed for lightweight comfort and flexibility. Galls SE Series IIIA Body Armor features:
This vest is, without question, very heavy. That said, it does feel solid and like it offers excellent protection. The only downside is you're giving up a lot of comfort for it.
I have had this vest for about 3 years. I work armed security on the weekends. It has been a fantastic vest for me. Good price for my twice weekly work. I would recommend this anybody that needs a vest for occasional use.
After reading the reviews...I decided on this body armor for my tactical vest.....it is stiff but flexible and a good back for my rifle plates....It is worth the money...
If I had zero stars to give this vest I would. It is the most uncomfortable vest I have ever worn in my career. You can tell it's cheaply made even the dyes in the carrier will stain your T-shirt when you sweat. The neck straps scratch your neck from the cheap stiching sticking out. This is also a thick heavy vest . Do not buy !
I have 11 years on and this is the 5th vest I've worn. It is, by far, the heaviest, bulkiest, and least flexible. It interferes with driving and my shooting stance. This is the kind of vest that makes an officer not want to wear a vest.
Stop Making These! I wish Galls would quit contracting to get there and the companies would quit making these cheap models. There are too may agencies that buy these to cross it off their to do list. If these weren't an option, they would be forced to buy good vests.
This armor is comfortable and easy to adjust. For the price, you cannot beat it!

Although it a relatively complex cluster of streets, the Main Street CalTrain crossing is immediately next to Sequoia Station. When stopped, the front of a NORTHBOUND train (as in this event) is just a few feet from the gates that guard the intersection.
It would be very difficult for a car NOT to know there is a train. It would have been just a few feet away.

Through Georgia's Eyes
Title: Through Georgia's Eyes
Author: Rachel Victoria Rodriguez
KDL Description:
A gorgeous, evocative biography of one of America's most beloved artists.
Amazon Description:
Georgia O'Keeffe saw the world differently from most people. As a child she roamed the prairie with a sketch pad in her hand, struggling to capture on paper what she saw all around her. At art school she learned to speak in paint on canvas.
But Georgia felt confined by city life. She longed for vast expanses of space, and she found it in the red hills and silent deserts of New Mexico.
Lyrical and vivid, this is a portrait of an exceptional artist, a woman whose eyes were open to the wideness and wonder of the world.

Question: How can I keep food warm on a dinner plate after it is served?
July 5, 2011
If the plates have been warmed and the food is warm- there is not a whole lot you can do. They make some warming pads- that are basically a pot holder filled with a material that will keep the bottom of a dish set on it warm, but they will make the plate unsteady. You can try using a warm charger plate- a larger plate than your serving plate- under the serving plate to see if that helps.
There is a company called Hot Smart that makes a plate they claim will keep food hot for 30 minutes it's pretty expensive and I'm a little skeptical. If you have heavy stoneware - the heat lasts longer than china when pre-heating your plates.
Most of the time I use stoneware to bake and cook with. It always keeps the food nice and hot until I'm rady to serve it. I would say, as well, just keep warming the plates and keeping the oven low, keeping the food hot. OR just tell everyone to eat quicker :)
I know using the grill is a great place to keep food hot if your oven is full. Just make sure its clean. I've had a few dishes come out tasting of smokey goodness when not intended to!

Law Student Summer Interns (Summer 2013)
The Center for Global Energy, International Arbitration, and Environmental Law at the University of Texas School of Law is taking applications for its 2013 summer internship program.
The Center will shape the program so that it engages student academic and career interests while furthering ongoing Center efforts. Above all, the program is flexible. The precise roles that interns play will depend upon intern preferences and the activities the Center has underway. In the past, for instance, interns have assessed the impact of Texas budget cuts on environmental enforcement and have assisted in cutting-edge research on hydraulic fracturing.
It is likely interns will assist in projects that arise from the 2013 session of the Texas legislature. During the session, the Center will be actively involved in discussions surrounding policies related to energy and the environment and particularly water supply. Interns may assist in researching policy proposals, developing best practices or other guidance for agencies implementing new legislation, or commenting upon rules the agencies are promulgating.
Additionally, students may assist in projects intended to improve regulatory processes and to shed light on environmental enforcement practices in Texas. Past interns, for instance, have assessed the impact of state budget cuts the Texas Council on Environmental Quality.
The Center is directed by Melinda Taylor, a law school senior lecturer who teaches courses in environmental law and coastal watersheds, and is affiliated with several other permanent and visiting faculty members who are experts in the fields of environmental, energy and natural resources law.
Law students will work closely with Professor Taylor and the Center's research fellow, Jeremy Brown, and will have the opportunity to attend academic seminars, policy strategy sessions meetings and meetings with the Center's board of advisors, many of whom are practitioners at leading Texas law firms.
The internship program is paid and will serve as sound preparation for a career in environmental or energy law and policy. If interested, please send a resume, cover letter and writing sample to Gena Dawson at email@example.com.

I'm 39 weeks and living on the east coast near Philly... getting a little NERVOUS about Hurricane Sandy! We live close to the hospital but I have visions of downed power lines and trees blocking our way while I'm in labor... just the stress that I need right now! Argh! Anyone else dealing with this?
Hurricane Baby??
I live in PA too, about 2 hrs from Philly lol and I was thinking the same thing!! I was like oh no I bet I'll go into labor while DH is at work and I won't be able to get ahold of him and blah blah. Maybe the weather forecast will change? lol
I admit I am irritable (and slightly irrational) lately and definitely a bit more nervous since hitting the 38-39 week mark, but it also annoys the hell out of me when people say "I hope you have a Halloween baby!" Really? Well, I'd rather my child didn't have to share his birthday with Halloween! So there! And now I've got a hurricane right in the middle of my 39th week, ugh... I guess all I can do is remember that baby comes when baby is ready, and hope for the best! Lots of other pregnant women out there in Sandy's path too!
Im in MD, from what I hear, the 2 storms are colliding right over us on monday/tuesday. lovely. i am so worried about getting to the hospital- we are only about 15 minutes away- but the neighborhood we live in is EXTREMELY wooded and we always have several trees down that block our roads. and i need a c-section, i cant do natural!! hubs might have to get out the filet knife if we dont make it in time!!!
went to the store this morning at 10 am, and just about all water was gone- and there were no batteries to be found. took me 10 minutes to get an open stall at the gas station bc people are loading up for their generators. ugh, i hate this. i am hoping they are just making a bigger deal so everyone prepares this time around!! hahah!!
good luck momma's!!!!!!!!!
J&M = Laici, Brady, & Callan!!!!
Mommy to my amazing baby boy Aeden Caeleb (08/04/09) and soon to be Mommy to our rainbow baby Jackson Christoper (EDD 11/21/12)
I haven't noticed any other threads about the storm .. but anyway I think we are more nervous since we are due in a week lol. The hospital I am delivering at isn't far away, but I have to drive through the city which can be extremely annoying depending on what time of day you are going through.
I'm in Mass, on the south coast... in a beach town. So I'm pretty worried! We always, always lose power during storms so I am horrified of that happening. I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. My hospital is only about 15 minutes away but I'm just scared about the trees that may come down and power lines in the road. Last years Halloween storm knocked power out for some here for 2 weeks!
Good luck to all that may be affected by this!

In order to change the default touchpad delay of 2.0 seconds, which is hard-coded into the touchpad settings dialog, I unchecked "Disable touchpad while typing" and added "syndaemon -i 0.8 -K -R -t" to the list of startup applications. Most of the time now, the touchpad doesn't register taps while I type, as I want. However, sometimes while typing, the cursor still flicks to a random spot in the text box, even while I am in the middle of typing. I don't take anywhere near 0.8 seconds betwee (HowTos)

Customer Reviews of Vulcan Universal Smartphone GyroMount (2 Unit Bundle)
Great value5/10/2015
Works pretty good with my Moto X even with the Otterbox. It doesn't fit real snug in the holder, but still holds it in place fairly well considering the size with the Otterbox.
The Best Phone Mount I've Used12/15/2014
I have bought a few mounts, this by far is the best I've used. Easy and well though out in design. Love the sticky mount and the extra suction it creates. It really is secure on the window. I am sure it can be used on a flat clear surface just the same because of the sticky back on the mount and the extra suction it has. I really like this product.
Just minor improvement needed.12/13/2014
It would be nice if it had an extra spring loaded release clip on the side just like the one on the top. That way you can remove device from the side as well from the top. The area where the cradle can rotate 360 degrees, should have a spring loaded mechanism, making it more easily and smoothly to change and be more precise in the setting. The area where the suction piece connects to the cradle is little difficult to release, especially if you need to separate it for storage when not in use.
Would prefer one-handed operation11/11/2014
the unit holds my phone (Samsung Note 2) in it's case .
Good, but not "Heavy Duty"5/6/2014
I am not impressed with the thickness of the metal clip on this product. I am in the construction industry and will need to have a product stand a beating. I think it is too early too tell right now as I have only had this product about two weeks.
great holder for larger smart phones5/5/2014
I have a samsung galaxy 2 and this is a great tool to keep me hands free while I'm driving
Superior Cell Phone Holder4/30/2014
This unit is solid and flexible. You can turn it anyway you like. I still rate this a five, but there is one tiny drawback for me. I have a battery case for my iPhone. My phone is just a smidge to wide to be securely held in place. However, I would recommend this product to anyone who has been looking for one of these.
Works as advertised4/28/2014
Bought this for my boat to use my iphone as a marine GPS with an app. Works good, holds the phone well and suction is good. Would imagine it would work just as well in my Jeep on the windshield if needed.
Works Nicely4/27/2014
Works just right for IPhone - charging cord fits through bottom :)
Solid Easy to Use Construction4/26/2014
This mount is really solid and extremely well engineered. It works great and is very high quailty in look, feel and function. The suction mount is incredibly strong.
Good product at low cost4/25/2014
The unit is very sturdy and versatile. It adapts very easily to any phone. Because each position is ratcheted, it does take a little bit of work to get it lined up where you want it.
Vulcan Phone Mount4/23/2014
WOW! This product is awesome. Sturdy, adjustable, just wow! The suction cup will never slip off.
Great mount4/21/2014
Solid mounting, fits my phone easy to use,sturdy
Great design4/18/2014
Had been looking for a product like this that did not use a spring clamp to hold the device (afraid of stressing the case). This has just the right solution for clamping on to the phone. Appears to be substantially made with average-quality materials.
Mounts securely4/18/2014
Because I have a dashboard cover, I needed a phone cradle that would mount securely to the windshield. The Vulcan does this well, and its cradling mechanism accommodates my iPhone with its protective case. Also, the charging cable fits through the slot on the bottom mount. But the locking mechanism for the cradle is a small knob that is out of sight on the back (upper right) of the phone cradle. Hence it is somewhat difficult to locate and operate.
Well thought out product2/3/2014
One of the best mounts I've ever seen! Love the versatility & flexibility of the design. Great job!
great device fits the purpose
Go for it1/28/2014
Finally something great for the car and for hands free phone. Strong, easily mounting and dismantling. Smile at cops while talking on the phone. Great buy and very cheap
The best I have ever used1/27/2014
I have tried about 7 or 8 of these types of devices. I finally decided to spend more than $10 on a unit and am so very pleased with this very sturdy unit. It custom fits my Samsung Galaxy S3, but would fit any other phone as well. It does not wobble and is totally adjustable to make it as comfortable to use as you would want. I'd buy more of these if I had the need. Just very pleased to finally find what I have been looking for, for so long.
This by far the best holder that I've used to hold my phones. Completely adjustable for any phone and I must admit that I loved the price. If you are looking for a GREAT holder than this is it!
Solid design8/24/2013
Solid mount. Won't shake or vibrate like similar models. Mount is worth it. Only drawback: it's a little tough to get in and out of the mount.
this stayed on the windshield not like the old one i had.
Good not great8/6/2013
It is good but not great
Excellent cell phone mount7/30/2013
Easy to set up and use. Cell phone can be removed and reinserted without adjusting the mount. Perfect for using the Waze app in my daily commute.
Great Phone mount!! Vulcan Universal Smartphone G7/30/2013
I am very happy with the Vulcan Universal Smartphone GyroMount - VSP1242CR. It is smaller than the last one I had and so does not block the view of the driver. There is a sticky attachment surface so that even if you don't use the suction on the window it won't go anywhere ( I would still recommend using the suction which is great!). It is easy to put the phone in and remove it. Thanks Vulcan!
Needs Caveat7/24/2013
If you have a large phone like mine,there should be a caveat that the mount fits most phones, however may not fit if you have a Protective covering… I have an Otter case on my Samsung Note 2 and with this removed, the mount fits fine, and in fact I can draw it in some to give a nice tight fit. However, if you have a cover such as the Otter and you chose to leave it in place (as is the norm), the mount will just barely spread enough to hold the phone. Getting it in takes a considerable amount of pushing and squeezing. Removing it too takes a little work. If you want to have access to the charge port, you must make sure the port cover is open and fed through the space provided and still it causes the rubber port cover to put pressure on the mini-jack when inserted. Not sure I like that. I'm going to use this for now and wait to find something that will accept the Note 2 in the Otter Case without the hassle and pass this on to someone with a smaller phone. I do like the locking pivot points. The mount I had for my last phone had a tendency to droop as I went down the road and I kept finding myself having to lift it back up to keep the screen pointing towards my eyes.
Vulcan Super Phone Holder5/28/2013
This product adjusts to the height and width of several phone models. It can easily be positioned to display at the angles that are most convenient for viewing.
Great Product5/23/2013
Performed as advertised. Great value!
Solid accessory for any phone5/22/2013
Solid accessory. Holds exceptionally well to semi-curved dash in Chevy Van. Adjustments are great and quick release for phone is awesome feature. Overall, a very nice product.
very nice product5/16/2013

African Nation's President Cites Collaboration Behind New Resource
KUMASI, Ghana, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Ghana President John Kufuor today dedicated the city's new hopeXchange Medical Center, a high quality diagnostic and treatment facility with special focus on breast cancer. During the ceremony, President Kufuor welcomed a high-profile mission delegation organized and led by Susan G. Komen for the Cure(R)'s President and CEO Hala Moddelmog, and acknowledged the significant role that Komen for the Cure can play in advancing the fight against breast cancer in Africa.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070122/NYM084LOGO)
Moddelmog was joined by physicians, researchers, advocates, survivors and celebrities, including actress Gabrielle Union, philanthropist Malaak Rock, wife of comedian Chris Rock, and breast cancer survivor and activist Billye Aaron, the wife of baseball great Hank Aaron. The delegation is spending four meeting- and event-packed days in Africa, where it will wind up this first-ever trip to the continent with a stop in Tanzania to cheer on participants in the first Tanzania Race for the Cure(R) organized by the Tanzania Breast Cancer Foundation in collaboration with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
"In addition to awareness about early detection, access to a state-of-the-art treatment facility is critical to addressing the very high breast cancer mortality rate in Ghana," said Moddelmog. "Susan G. Komen for the Cure is deeply committed to supporting hopeXchange Medical Center through collaboration with local and international breast cancer experts, Ghanaian government officials and non-governmental organizations."
The hopeXchange Medical Center will offer accessible and affordable

Daniel Radcliffe has been told he isn't allowed to trim his pubic hair by the director of his next film because he has to get nude in it.
Daniel Radcliffe was told to leave his pubic hair untrimmed for a new movie.
The former 'Harry Potter' star has landed a role in an upcoming film playing a Jewish man in the 1940s and has revealed the director told him any "landscaping" of the intimate area was off limits.
Daniel - who appeared naked on stage in 'Equus' - revealed: "I'm comfortable with my body. It's funny, actually, I've just been having a discussion with the guy who's directing my new project. It might have a bit of nudity and he said, 'Just to let you know, if you're getting naked, no landscaping of any kind. This is the '40s and you're playing a Jew.'
"I was like, 'Pretty much there anyway, mate! Not a huge amount of maintenance going on.' I mean, there's a little bit, obviously, for courtesy."
It seems natural body hair is important for Daniel as he also revealed he doesn't like girls who have 'Brazilians'.
The 22-year-old actor - who is in a relationship with production assistant Rosie Coker - told this week's heat magazine: "This is way too much information, but I don't like girls with nothing down there either. It freaks me out. You have to have something, otherwise it's f***ing creepy."

Publisher's Description
McIntosh defines church growth as "all that is involved in bringing men and women who do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ into fellowship with him and into responsible church membership." In other words, church growth is effective evangelism, not a methodology for increasing membership. According to Biblical Church Growth, growing churches always evidence a desire to fulfill the Great Commission by cooperating with God in building a faithful church.
Using personal stories and current statistics as well as numerous biblical examples, the author sets forth ten basic principles that provide an eternal foundation for helping any church-large or small-achieve lasting vitality and growth.

Scott Cheatham5 Stars Out Of 5July 13, 2003Scott CheathamThis review was written for Biblical Church Growth: How You Can Work with God to Build a Faithful Church.Without a doubt, THE finest book on church growth (true church growth) I've ever read. This is not a "methods" book designed to give you the latest ideas but a "foundations" book outlining 9 key "principles" that must be evident in ANY method you use to see real, sustained growth. In each chapter, McIntosh gives you some questions designed to spur your own ideas from each principle. Whether your service is "traditional", "contemporary" or anything in between, this book will help you take a good look at what you're doing and see if it really has any lasting meaning for the growth of God's kingdom and praising His wonderful name.This, along with Steve Rummage's book on "Planning your Preaching" are the two best books I've read in a long, long time. Pick this one up...

Sometimes I like to Jingle
The Etsy Dallas group puts on one heck of a Bash- The Jingle Bash is known for its great selection of handmade goods, just in time for some holiday shopping. This recent blast of cold shouldn't keep anyone away- it is an indoor show. So come on over and jingle with us.
A Full Moon Fox
Sometimes it takes a while to complete a project. I started toying with the fox hat idea last year. This month I pulled out some of the pieces I'd cut out, and with a fresh set of eyes went about putting together the first round of fox hats. It may be a few more days (weeks) of tweaking the design before it is considered done, but here is the first peek at something new.
Batch work
Although it is hard to call doing what you love "work", I find that creating batches of hats an efficient way to work. I started creating groups of sweaters that had colors and textures that worked well together. Here is a "batch" of cakes. If you look closely you will see certain colors repeated in this batch.

1879 Thomas Hobron Kahului & Wailuku Railroad 1 Real (12 1/2 Cents) Token MS60 Brown, Bent, Corroded Uncertified. Medcalf 2TE-8. Gould-Bressett. These were produced by Captain Thomas H. Hobron and were redeemable at his general store in Kahului, Maui. Hobron's railroad line carried the profitable sugar cane industry's product from the area's mill to the port of Kahului for export. A reciprocity treaty with the United States several years earlier gave the island's sugar cane growers great advantage over other foreign sources. These scarce tokens are most often seen lightly circulated and with modest to heavy corrosion. The present example displays pleasant chocolate-brown color and the corrosion modifier refers to scattered, inoffensive areas about the devices. Listed on page 324 of the 2005 Guide Book.

Many of us are pet lovers.
Calculations using national averages supplied by the Humane Society of the United States stated there are an estimated 16,387 dogs, 17,543 cats, 3063 birds, 2,363 horses, 1,263 pocket pets and 975 reptiles in the Bedford Community. But our animals are often the last members of our families that we plan for when facing an emergency.
Josh Raines doesn't strike me as a grinch.
Raines, race director of the YMCA Peaks of Otter Christmas Classic, was surprised that his race was being pointed to as the primary reason for the movement of Bedford's annual Christmas parade into the evening.
The parade, which has been held on the first Saturday of December, has a start time of 11 a.m.
I read an interesting article in Thursday's Wall Street Journal. It was at the bottom of Page 6 of the July 24 edition. It was only four paragraph's long but the head "Christian PAC to Run Obama Ads" caught my attention.
The PAC calls itself "The Matthew 25 Network" and the article states that it "is a consortium of Christian faith leaders and activists working to elect more Democrats to office who share the same 'biblical and gospel values'."
How should the United States address the current energy crisis?
Unreconstructed In Bedford
I have subscribed to the Bedford paper for approximately 20 years, even while I was overseas in the military. I've read the letters to the editor with delight and sometimes discontent. This is the first time I've been compelled to write in all that time.
It appears that everything that begins with "C" is under a constant barrage of attack by the liberal left. If it's Confederate, Christian, or Conservative it must be obliterated from society. This smells of P.C. (political cowardice) to the infinite degree.
Last week, the International Criminal Court (ICC), the permanent war crimes tribunal located in the Netherlands, indicted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, marking the first time charges have been brought against a sitting head of state. Bashir is being charged with genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. A total of ten charges have been filed against the Sudanese dictator and now they will be reviewed by a panel of ICC judges to determine whether an arrest warrant for Bashir will be issued. This decision is expected in the next two months.
The main thing preventing the United States from drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico is the majority leadership of the House of Representatives and the U. S. Senate.
Recently, Sen. Barack Obama made some innocent remarks about his policy regarding the Iraq war in anticipation of a planned visit there. While the senator indicated that developments in the country might possibly affect his withdrawal timetable, he had certainly not changed his policy in any important way.
The McCain campaign was quick to say that Obama was suddenly seeing things their way, that he had "flip-flopped" and was not reliable on the war, foreign policy, etc., etc. But they were wrong.

The Obama Butter Bust wandered through the city of Chicago this past Friday, with the help of its creators Mathew Wilson and Adam Brooks. The two, who dubbed the piece as "The Harvest," garnered the attention of passersby until the two reached the Chicago Cultural Center where it will be displayed until February 17. The artists chose butter as a representation of the American tradition. The duo previously carted an ice sculpture on Michigan Avenue back in 2005 of the Ten Commandments.
Recently, actresses Jennifer Garner and Alicia Silverstone starred in the movie "Butter" about these competitions.

From the New York Times: "Ginger, as a cocktail ingredient, is on a serious roll right now… but the Domaine de Canton, which fuses baby ginger with cognac, feels more like a classic than something parachuted into a trend. 'It's got that ginger heat, but it's not too strong and it's very aromatic.' It's also a lively addition to Champagne."

Because radiation therapy to the brain can affect growth and brain development in young children, clinical trials are studying ways of using chemotherapy to delay or reduce the need for radiation therapy.
Cerebrospinal fluid diversion
Cerebrospinal fluid diversion is a method used to drain fluid that has built up around the brain and spinal cord. A shunt (long, thin tube) is placed in a ventricle (fluid-filled space) of the brain and threaded under the skin to another part of the body, usually the abdomen. The shunt carries excess fluid away from the brain so it may be absorbed elsewhere in the body.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion. Extra CSF is removed from a ventricle in the brain through a shunt (tube) and is emptied into the abdomen. A valve controls the flow of CSF.
Watchful waiting
Watchful waiting is closely monitoring a patient's condition without giving any treatment until symptoms appear or change.
New types of treatment are being tested in clinical trials.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Radiation therapy with radiosensitizers
Radiosensitizers are drugs that make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Combining radiation therapy with radiosensitizers may kill more tumor cells.
Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Clinical trials are part of the cancer research process. Clinical trials are done to find out if new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.

I'm trying to autofit various dresses, but the space between the legs (from thighs down) gets all stretched out and ugly looking.
What is the best way to fit dresses? What am I doing wrong?
That seems to be unavoidable, as the mesh is adjusted to fit the different Genesis shape. Half the skirt mesh is assigned to each leg and moved into position, stretching the bit down the middle. A smoothing modifier may even it out.
DAZ Studio Frequently Asked Questions
Index of free DAZ Studio scripts and plugins list
Make sure you are choosing a garment type when you're autofitting - it will apply a weight map to the finished fitted garment based on what you choose. If you don't choose anything, it will apply the genesis weight map, where the legs are split. The dresses are autofitting much better in the new version, or at least that's what I recall when I tried it, but you need to tell it it's a dress or a skirt.
Once you're done autofitting, if you're feeling adventurous you can adjust the weight maps yourself to smooth the center area, so that the stretched area is wider across the whole front and moves more like real cloth.

I have found that this happens with certain outfits even when you do tell it the item is a dress. The K4 Sweetheart Dress is on example, I was hoping to use it on the Genesis Child but it comes out hopelessly borked every time.
