True Repentance
Repentance is a gift from God. We express contrition for our sins and their offense to our holy Creator, but the Holy Spirit must give us the ability to do this. Without His sovereign work, we do not care that ...Read More

job shops, as well as specialists such as gear and turbine manufacturers."
"This will be a first-class experience for our customers. We're
very proud to have available a full range of our industry leading bridge-type
machines and our most advanced metrology systems. "We're excited
about the type of technology we have in Irvine," says Shemenski. The METROTOM
1500, is an x-ray based computed tomography system specifically designed for
3D metrology of small, complex low-density parts made of plastic, composite
materials or ceramic. The O-INSPECT is a multi-sensor system that features both
tactile and optical scanning and provide tremendous flexibility for measuring
parts that approach the micro range of size. We have a variety of surface form
& geometry systems to really round out our measuring and demonstration capabilities.
The team we have in place also brings a depth and variety of experience that
really complements the technology. We are looking forward to bringing all these
elements to support our customers," states Shemenski.
"There is a lot of enthusiasm at Carl Zeiss around the opening of this
West Coast facility," said Sisler. "While others may be cutting
back on support, this additional location is one more sign of Carl Zeiss'
commitment to customer service. We are looking forward to showcasing our additional
infrastructure, resources and support."

November 29, 2015
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Kevin Harvick received a huge push
from Denny Hamlin to power into the lead and steal a win in Saturday night's exhibition Budweiser Shootout.
Jamie McMurray appeared headed for the win at Daytona International Speedway until a late wreck set up a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Harvick was in fourth on the restart, and didn't seem to have anything for McMurray.
But as they closed in on the finish line, he used the push from Hamlin to slide past McMurray on the outside.
He coasted to the win as Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch all crashed behind him.
McMurray finished second and Tony Stewart was third.

5. Chat them up.This generation is all about social media. And social media is all about conversation. They're used to it and expect it in the workplace, Blake and Myers say. When they are part of the conversation they will be more engaged. Allow them to contribute and cultivate areas of expertise.
6. Mentor, don't manage. Just because you manage a millennial doesn't mean you have their respect, according to Blake and Myers. They respect experience, but don't want to hear "this is how I do it." Instead, you should couch your advice in terms of "this is what I've learned." The eye-rolling I get from my younger co-workers when I try to impart upon them my pearls of wisdom is ample proof that teaching millennials anything is a challenge. One way to overcome the challenge is reciprocal mentoring—they appreciate the opportunity to share their expertise.
7. Push their desks together. The current trend in education is group work—what we would have considered cheating in my day they now call cooperative learning. Fostering teamwork in the workplace and communicating team objectives in addition to individual performance expectations is an effective tactic, Blake and Myers say. Tell them how their performance effects and contributes to team success.
8. Teach them how to treat customers. Millennials are, without a doubt, a generation of consumers. And they expect to be treated like valued customers not only at the mall, but also in the workplace. Managers may have to teach them the skill of customer service—how to deliver it and who to consider a customer—from mangers to co-workers to vendors and suppliers to patients and their families. As noted previously, they don't automatically respect senior managers and won't automatically make the connection that managers are also customers who should be treated as such.
9. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. It might be time to stop being so uptight about social media at work. Millennials are using chat platforms and checking their Facebook and Twitter pages at work (whether they'll admit it or not). Blake and Myers suggest creating a social media code of participation, but you might as well take advantage of the fact that social media can be a useful tool—and that millennials can teach you how to use them to be more productive.
10. Be flexible, but don't baby them. At the top of this column, I said that millennials get outraged when we try to pigeonhole them—the whole debate about whether millenials need to be coddled is one of the most contentious. This is the one that interests me the most. Blake and Myers say to strike a balance: don't kowtow to them or change the way you run your hospital, but if you can stand to be more flexible, you may find it makes your millennials more productive.
Love to hear your thoughts—head on over to the MarketShare blog and leave a comment on Marianne's post, An Open Letter to the Millennial-Wary.

Professional Interests:
Our research is primarily focused on group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes), which are among the most prevalent of bacterial pathogens; humans are its sole biological host. A hallmark feature of S. pyogenes is its molecular and biological diversity among strains. Although S. pyogenes infection can produce serious illness, such as autoimmune and severe invasive disease, most often it causes only a mild disease at superficial tissue sites - the oropharynx (strep throat) or epidermis (impetigo). The throat and skin are the primary tissue reservoirs for S. pyogenes, whereby the organism is most successful in reproductive growth and transmission to new hosts.
It is widely recognized that many strains of S. pyogenes differ in their tissue site preference, giving rise to the concept of distinct throat and skin strains. One of our long-term goals is to determine the molecular basis for throat- and skin-specific infections caused by S. pyogenes. Because throat and skin strains are often separated in time and space, they provide a model for mapping candidate genes that confer tissue tropisms. Gene products under investigation include transcriptional regulators and surface proteins. In addition, the consequences of ecological separation on lateral gene exchange between strains are explored.
Additional studies in our lab investigate antibiotic resistance in S. pyogenes, the unique properties of strains that trigger rheumatic fever, and the role of group A streptococcal infections in triggering acute episodes of common neuropsychiatric disorders in children (Tourette's syndrome and chronic tic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder), via an autoimmune mechanism.
Tools used in our lab include genomics, population genetics and animal models for disease.
Bessen Lab website is at www.bessenlab.org.
Projects on streptococci include:
1. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST). Go to www.mlst.net for data and tools.
2. Characterizing the role of streptococcal genes in tissue tropisms, by testing genetic mutants of S. pyogenes in a humanized mouse model for skin infection. The streptococcal products under study include a secreted cysteine proteinase (SpeB), a plasminogen activator (streptokinase), a plasminogen-binding surface protein (PAM), extracellular matrix-binding surface proteins, and global regulators of transcription.
3. The development and testing of predictive models that can aid in the design of effective vaccines, by assessing the impact of selection by the host immune response, through examination of its imprint on the bacterial population genetic structure.
4. Understanding the molecular evolutionary processes underlying niche adaptation, with a special focus on recombinational replacements by orthologous genes.
5. Deciphering the molecular evolution of antibiotic resistance.
6. Assessing immunological changes in pediatric patients with tics or OCD, in correspondence with changes in the clinical severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms.

What Jia's Been Reading in January
It's a new year! That said, I feel like I haven't done a whole lot of reading this month. Hmm.
Skirmish by Michelle West
This is the latest in West's fantasy cycle and the first in a long time that got me extremely excited about events in this world. That's mostly because this is the first installment since Sun Sword ended that takes place in the present time. No more flashbacks, no more expanding the past. Good read and got me excited about the world again. (Full review here.)
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Sony | Kobo
The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges
Is it just me or are there more books coming out recently set in Russia? Maybe I'm imagining things. Anyway, neat concept. The protagonist is a young duchess who wants to forego marrying well and become a doctor. That's already a problem but in addition, she happens to be a necromancer. Oops. The worldbuilding was rather muddled and the romantic subplot needed better execution. The book had good potential but the reality was still rough around the edges. Review to come.
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Sony | Kobo
Fracture by Megan Miranda
Neat book. I assumed this was going to be another YA paranormal and technically, it is that but it's not really at all. This is essentially the story of a girl who went through a traumatic life event and has to pick up the pieces of her life after. What I liked best was how this one event revealed all these little cracks and fissures in her existing relationships. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. (Full review here.)
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Sony | Kobo
Firelight by Kristin Callihan
I'd been hearing lots of good things about this one so I was excited to pick this up. I don't know if my hopes and expectations were raised but I was rather meh about it overall. I didn't care for the romantic storyline (the couple lies to each other for most of the book) and the worldbuilding drove me nuts because it made no sense. Or maybe it was just nonexistent. I'm not sure. I also thought the hero's secret was kept for the sole purpose of plot contrivance because the actual reveal was anticlimactic. (Full review here.)
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Sony | Kobo
Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen
A Robin Hood retelling. This takes the angle that history and folklore muddled "the truth" and that Maid Marian and Will Scarlet were the same person. So-so. I know there are die-hard Robin Hood fans out there so maybe they'll be more wowed by this one than me. Review to come.
Goodreads | Amazon | BN | Sony | Kobo
Right now, I'm in between books, trying to decide what to pick next. Maybe I'll read something that I don't plan to review! Good grief, what was up with that?
So what are you guys reading? Any books you're looking forward to in 2012?

Tim Combs is an embalmer and funerl director at Hillis Hardwick Funeral Home. Combs made the career change later in life after the death of his father.
ZANESVILLE — Choosing an occupation can be a daunting decision. Deciding to change occupations and the direction of your life at age 40 can be an even tougher choice.
Tim Combs was a well-known chef in the area and catered many events, but in 2002 he decided to go to mortuary school.
My wife, Ann, was very supportive, he said. It was something I wanted to do.
Combs, an embalmer/funeral director at Hillis & Hardwick Funeral Home Inc., experienced a life-changing event. He lost his father.
Combs cousin, Bill Roberts, who owned Roberts Funeral Home in New Lexington, took care of the arrangements. Combs father had been ill, but when I looked into the casket and I saw the dad I knew and loved, it made me feel better, he said.
Combs knew he wanted to provide the same type of healing experience to others in mourning.
I hate to say I enjoy what I do, but when I go home I feel like I really helped somebody that day, he said.
Combs studied at the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science. He was older than most of the students and was leaving a successful career in the food business.
We each had to give a little speech about ourselves, Combs said, going on to joke: I told them there was a big similarity between food service and a funeral service. They both have to have sanitation, preservation and presentation.
Combs does everything he can to help families with their losses.
It is the most stressful time, he said. When you see your loved one in a casket, it hits home. Its reality. Even though we cant make it easy, we try to do whatever we can to help.
I never tell anyone, I know how you feel, because I dont, Combs said. I know what it is like to lose someone, but every circumstance is different.
Some people dont believe in an afterlife. There is a big difference between a faith-based relationship and one that isnt, Combs said. When they have a faith-based relationship, they know they will see each other again.
Combs thinks to be a good funeral director one has to have experienced grief. You really have to feel empathy for the family, he said. Sometimes it is hard not to cry, especially when it is a friend or a child. Those are the times I go home and cry with Ann.
Embalming a child is especially difficult. When people ask if it ever gets easier, Combs said, I tell them if it does, its time to get out of the business. This is not a physically demanding job, he said, but it is very emotionally demanding.
The two most stressful times in a persons life are planning weddings and funerals, Combs said. Combs now has experienced both.
I am not sorry I changed careers, he said. I loved the food business, but I feel as if I am doing exactly what I should be doing. It is very rewarding to know you have made someones life a little easier by helping them through a stressful time.

What's the one thing ALWAYS in your bag that you never leave home without? A bag of black pens. Like 50 different ones in a ziploc. And an attitude.
If you could spend 15 minutes talking to any person, living or dead, who would it be and why? I think Malcolm X. Because I really believe he had discovered something - a wisdom about the world and race and how we could all interact. I truly believe he had a lot left to say.
If you could work for anyone, a client or on a project, what would it be? My daughters. hands down.
ONE THING I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IS Again, my daughters. And of course, my head, a constant supply of blood, and my heart.

FRIDAY, Sept. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of tumor regression grade (TRG) and circumferential resection margin (CRM) can be used to predict survival for good and poor responders in rectal cancer, according to a study published online Aug. 29 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Uday B. Patel, M.B.C.L.B., M.R.C.P., from the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, U.K., and colleagues assessed MRI and pathologic staging by T, N, and CRM status after neoadjuvant therapy for rectal cancer in 111 patients. The patients were evaluated for response and TRG by MRI. Kaplan-Meier product-limit was used to predict overall survival (OS), and Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess correlations between staging of good and poor responders on MRI or pathology and survival outcomes.
The investigators found that the MRI-assessed TRG (mrTRG) hazard ratios (HRs) were independently significant for survival and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR, 4.40 and 3.28, respectively). Five-year survival and DFS for poor mrTRG were significantly lower (27 versus 72 percent and 31 versus 64 percent, respectively). Local recurrence (LR) was independently predicted by preoperative MRI-predicted CRM (HR, 4.25). Poor post-treatment pathologic T stage had a significantly lower five-year survival (39 versus 76 percent), DFS (38 versus 84 percent), and higher LR (27 versus 6 percent). For involved pathologic CRM, the five-year survival rate was significantly lower (30 versus 59 percent), as was DFS (28 versus 62 percent), and LR was significantly higher (56 versus 10 percent). Pathology node status was not predictive of outcomes.
"MRI assessment of TRG and CRM are imaging markers that predict survival outcomes for good and poor responders," the authors write.

All-Atlantic 10 teams
FIRST TEAM: Lavoy Allen (Temple), Kevin Anderson (Richmond), Andrew Nicholson (St. Bonaventure), Damian Saunders (Duquesne) and Chris Wright (Dayton).
SECOND TEAM: Tu Holloway (Xavier), Juan Fernandez (Temple), Chris Gaston (Fordham), Delroy James (Rhode Island) and Shamari Spears (Charlotte).
THIRD TEAM: Chris Braswell (Charlotte), Cody Ellis (St. Louis), Chris Johnson (Dayton), Lasan Kromah (George Washington) and Aaric Murray (La Salle).
ALL-DEFENSIVE TEAM: Dante Jackson (Xavier), Allen, Anderson, Nicholson and Saunders.
ALL-ROOKIE TEAM: Jordan Latham (Xavier), C.J. Aiken (Saint Joseph's), Langston Galloway (Saint Joseph's), Rob Loe (St. Louis) and Juwan Staten (Dayton).
NEW YORK - Four-time defending Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season champion Xavier was picked to finish second in the league in a vote by conference coaches and the media.
The poll, revealed Thursday before men's basketball media day here, featured Temple at No. 1 with 19 first-place votes.
Second-ranked XU was followed by third-place Richmond and fourth-place Dayton.
Musketeers coach Chris Mack took the prediction in stride.
"You know preseason polls - they're fun for the fans but I don't think our guys would blink if we were picked first, fifth or eighth. I think it's pretty meaningless stuff at the end of the day," Mack said.
Three Musketeers were selected for preseason teams. Junior point guard Tu Holloway was named to the second team, senior guard Dante Jackson was included in the all-defensive team, and rookie forward Jordan Latham was picked for the all-rookie team.
NEWCOMERS: Alan Major, a former assistant to Thad Matta at Xavier and Ohio State, made his first A-10 media day appearance as Charlotte's coach. Former Hofstra coach Tom Pecora did the same for Fordham.
UNDER THE RADAR: Dayton veterans like Chris Wright and Chris Johnson and freshman like Juwan Staten have been much-heralded, but transfer Josh Parker may be among the Flyers to watch.
Parker played for Drake before sitting out last season. Coach Brian Gregory expects the 6-foot Parker to play point guard and shooting guard while knocking down shots from both positions.
His leadership is another asset.
"He has kind of formed a trio with Wright and Johnson. Those guys' work ethic has been off the charts," Gregory said. "Parker's motor never stops going. He has not played one minute for us and he's already...one of the most respected players on the team."
NO MAJERUS: St. Louis coach Rick Majerus was the lone coach to miss the event. He told officials he couldn't come because a health issue prevented him from flying.
The Billikens have been in limbo since their top two returning players, Kwamain Mitchell and Willie Reed Jr., left the team and university amid sexual assault allegations.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said Mitchell hopes to come back in January and Reed does not plan to return.

Conservatives frustrated by GOP's compromises
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 03/03/2014 @ 4:19 am In Politics,U.S. | No Comments
(WASHINGTONTIMES) — Prominent Republicans see no evidence that their party's electoral successes have advanced the cause of limited government and moral governance.
"Today, our party's leaders act like thermometers measuring the temperature of the electorate. We need to be the thermostats and set the temperature," said Rob McCoy, pastor of Calvary Chapel, a few minutes' drive from the Reagan presidential library in Simi Valley, Calif.
For Republicans like Mr. McCoy, who is running for a state Assembly seat, the national party has racked up decades of compromises that have led to relentless government expansion, ever-increasing spending growth, continually mounting national debt and growing intrusiveness into the private lives of Americans.

JONESBORO — One year ago today, sheriff's Deputy Rick Daly became the first countywide officer in Clayton to be shot and killed in the line of duty.
To mark the anniversary, Clayton County officials will host a ceremony this morning to rename Justice Center Road to Richard Joseph Daly Memorial Boulevard. The road heads west off Tara Boulevard and partially encircles the Harold R. Banke Justice Center, which houses the courthouse, jail and sheriff's office.
Clayton County Commissioners approved the resolution July 10, allowing the change and to budget the funds to erect new signs.
Daly, 55, spent most of his life in law enforcement, working for the Clayton County Police Department before going to the sheriff's office.
Daly was remembered as a dedicated family man. He was the oldest of six children of Joyce Daly of Hampton and the late Joseph Daly. He and his wife, Cheryl, raised two children, Toby and Amber. The deputy was enjoying his role as grandfather to four.
Daly was eulogized by Sheriff Kem Kimbrough during a funeral service attended by about 2,000 law enforcement officers and civilians.
"He was a dutiful, dedicated son, a brother with a strong shoulder, a husband who was an able companion, a father who was a role model, a man who was what you wanted to be," said Kimbrough during the services. "As a grandfather, he offered unconditional love to all the children in the family."
Daly was an "officer's officer," who never failed to respond to the call for help.
"The day he died, he didn't have to respond to that call," said Kimbrough. "But he answered that call. He knew it was his call and he had to be there to support his brothers in the badge."
Those left behind can learn from the tragedy by living life to the fullest and loving those around them, said the sheriff.
"Live every day as if it is your last because it very well could be," said Kimbrough. "None of us knew the Lord was calling Ricky home that day."
Daly's killer, Johnathan Bun, 18, was convicted of murder in May and is awaiting an Aug. 9 sentencing hearing. He is facing life plus 75 years in prison.

Three-time state cross country champion Trinity Prep was beaten for the first time all season on Saturday, but second place at the Nike Cross Nationals Southeast Region qualifier in Cary, N.C., proved to be the program's crowning achievement to date.
The Saints, running as the Avery Creek Running Club, edged four teams from three different states for a top two spot behind Marietta, Ga., to claim the second available automatic Nike Nationals berth.
Trinity Prep is the first Florida boys team since Miami Belen Jesuit in 2011 to qualify.
"This is definitely the biggest accomplishment for any group I've coached," said Saints coach Ken Vinal.

White Sox starting pitcher Jake Peavy was originally slated to start Sunday against the Tigers. Instead he's been pushed back to Tuesday. Philip Humber will get the nod Sunday for the White Sox. Peavy has reportedly admitted he hasn't bounced back as quickly as he'd like from injury (ESPN Chicago).
The move might be cause for a bit of alarm for Peavy, as he had a rare surgery in the offseason to reattach his lat muscle. He was expected to be ready much earlier than he was, but, again, this type of surgery is very rare. Peavy is 4-3 with a 5.27 ERA. He's been stellar a few times but unable to maintain consistency. One thing is for sure, if Peavy is a bulldog on the hill: If he could will himself to stay healthy, he would.

"..expected to be back much earlier than he was?", really? The doctor's that performed the surgery last August didn't expect him to pitch until the second half this year; he's been actively throwing in games since spring training, with some setbacks. Please report facts.

My previous post didn't work ... So, I will arrive in KPG on feb 16 and I would like to stay around Chahoklum to avoid FMP crowd and be able to move around the island with public transports. Hat Khom sounds nice, but the post on Travelfish is from 2004... Did somebody stayed there lately and can recommand a nice place to stay. I'm a women traveling solo and I'm looking for somewhere cosy (I mean charm, not air con!) with a nice atmosphere, friendly people and good food. Are songthews going to Hat Khom or you have to rely only on your feet or bike? Do I need to book in advance at this time of the month, or do the FMP visitors stay in the South ? Thanks !

Hi Cecile,
Nobody from Travelfish has been back to Haad Khom since that listing was added (Ko Pha Ngan is scheduled for a workover this year). At the time, there was only one very poor glorified trail to Haad Khom that veered off from the road to Coral Bay Resort. So for transport, what most do is walk to Chaloklum (10-20 minute walk) and then get a songtheaw from there -- there are regular songtheaws from Chaloklam to Thong Sala and the west coast beaches.
You'll find the bulk of Full-Mooners will stay further south, but a steady trickle stay here due to the good snorkelling, but far more stay at Bottle Beach (the next bay over). In high season, reservations can be a good idea, but as long as you're not arriving the night before a FMP you should be able to find something.

I am not sure where to put this, but since there are so many sculptors on CA, I thought someone might like the extra clay I have and I do not care for.
I have 6+ pounds of Le Beau Touche' HM Clay in brown color for sale. I played with a tiny portion of it but I am working with something different now
This clay comes in 2 lb blocks...you would not think it is much but it really is a lot! It is new and only a small portion was played with, then I put it back on the block. I am also including a couple of samples from the company that I paid for. I paid $8.50 each for the 2 lb blocks...=$25.50 and the shipping was $18.00 ($43.50 total of what I paid). I am asking $35.00 total for the entire lot. This includes shipping to the USA. I think it would be quite expensive to ship outside the US.
This is quoted from the Chavant site about Le Beau Touche' Clays:
Unique Prop's: Le Beau Touché has great adhesive qualities allowing it to stick to all armature materials including aluminum wire, aluminum foil, cardboard, foam or paper. Le Beau Touché products will not oxidize and can be left out or heated and cooled repeatedly without any significant change in the product
Softening point: Le Beau Touché and Le Beau Touché - HM are generally used at room temperature. Le Beau Touché - HM is sometimes warmed to a temperature of 110° F - 115° F to soften it. When it returns to room temperature it also returns to the initial firmness.
Working Temp: Le Beau Touché, up to 90° F maximum. Le Beau Touché - HM, room temperature to 105° F.
Cautions: Heat over 90° F will cause the original Le Beau Touché to get very soft and sticky and the clay will begin to sweat or sag. The HM formula will tolerate these normal changes. Wash hands with soap and water after use.
I have about 7 lbs of Roma Plasitina Clay for sale, along with several samples of different Chavant Clays I bought. The Roma was $11.00 per block and there are 3 blocks plus about a half block. The Roma is all in white. There are 2½ blocks in hard and 1 in medium hardness. The others are various colors and hardnesses. All together there is about 9 lbs of clay here for one price of $49.00 PPD to the USA. I absolutely Love the way this clay sculpts! It is so smooth and the texture is smooth, I just do not like the smell LOL. I did figure out that if you use Lemon Scented Comet, it will take the smell right off your hands though Just a tip
Shipping outside the USA will probably be high.
Here is what the Sculpture House says about the Roma
__________________________________________________ _________________________
Roma is the world's finest modeling material that is permanently pliable and the choice of professional sculptors the world over. Colors are Grey-Green or White.
#1 - Soft -Extremely pliable. Used for making large sculptures. Roma No. 1 is easily scraped from molds.
#2 - Medium - Generally used for portrait heads, busts, and figure work. No. 2 is stronger than No. 1 but works smoothly and is the favored consistency.
#3 - Medium Firm- A firmer grade of plastilina used in making models of smaller objects.
#4 - Extra Hard - This grade of plastilina is used in making extremely detailed objects with great detail; such as medalions.
You can email me at paintedponyranch at msn dot com if you are interested. My ebay ID is also paintedponyranch if you would like a reference. If you would like other references, I have a million! LOL.

Energy Sistem's New Stylish DVD Player
Category: DAP - PMP - Tags: Cd-r, Cd-rw, Dvd, Dvd+r, DVD+RW, Dvd-r, Dvd-rw, Energy Sistem, M2700, Mmc, Ms, Sd
Energy Sistem, a Spanish consumer electronics manufacturer, announced a new portable DVD player – the Energy M2700 – in a rather new form factor: somewhat reminiscent of a touchscreen smartphone with a slider keyboard, as opposed to the laptop-like clamshell of other, more ubiquitous DVD players on the market. Along with its DVD drive (which accepts DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-R, and CD-RW) hidden behind the 7-inch high-resolution widescreen is a USB port and SD/MMC/MS card reader, which can also transport audio, video, and photographs to the device, turning it into a stylish digital frame. It weighs 840 grams and measures 21x4x15.8 cm and has a recommended retail price of 84.66 EUR.

Boy claims to have met God while legally dead
Colton Burpo's story made international headlines in 2003 after he miraculously recovered from a near-death experience only to describe vivid memories of his time in Heaven.
Morning Anchor Rob Finnerty talked with Colton and his father, Todd, who claims that Colton knew things after his experience that he and his wife had never shared with their 4-year old son.
Colton also talked about Jesus and his appearance, as well as what Heaven felt like while he was there.
The family's experience was turned into a book "Heaven is for Real," with a movie adaptation starring Greg Kinnear.

So far I have traveled mostly in Europe, but I am planning an exploration into parts of Asia for about 6 months with my cousin, as we are both graduating from college this year. I love to hike, bike, kayak, explore cities, meet new people, and see new things.
Past travels
Europe: I lived in Paris for 6 months. I've traveled to London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Prague, much of Italy, much of Switzerland (I particularly love Montreux, Lucerne, and the area surrounding Interlaken), Barcelona, Seville, and Lisbon. I am particularly fond of Berlin and Barcelona - just amazing cities. I also spent a few weeks in Panama when I was younger-- sort of my first experience with travel. I have lived all through out the United States, as my family moved frequently. I have lived in St. Louis, MO, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Milwaukee, WI, Little Rock, AR, Chapel Hill, NC. Also, I go to school in Poughkeepsie, NY, and have lived one summer in New York City. I have also spent nearly all the summers of my life on Mackinac Island, MI- an amazing and underrated part of the US.
Future travels
Planning to spend a significant amount of time in Asia starting this summer. Hoping to send 4-6 weeks in each of the following countries: Japan, (maybe South Korea via ferry), China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Indonesia.

It's been a looong time since I published a detailed look at TFS dogfooding. I used to do them every month but then the server got so big and the reports monotonous enough that I decided to stop. I've had a number of queries about it in the past few months, so I figured it was time to do an update.
I'll start by talking about DevDiv. It's more complicated than it used to be. We used to just have one TFS server for all of DevDiv and I could report one set of stats. Now we kind of have 3. Let me explain.
In TFS 2010, we introduced Team Project Collections. In many ways a Team Project collection is like a separate TFS server – it's totally isolated in its own SQL database, etc. When we (developer division) adopted TFS 2010, we decided it was time to "start fresh". We'd been using the same TFS server since 2004 and as these things do sometimes, it grew lint – gangly organization, extra cruft that no one actually needed, etc. Further, we made some big performance/scale enhancements in 2010 that required database schema updates and making those update to a server as big as ours was was going to take a very long time (many many days). So, we decided to start with a new Team Project collection and then just fault in the stuff that we needed – doing appropriate reorganization as we went – think of it as spring cleaning :) Of course we still keep the old Team Project Collection around and that's where we do all of our servicing work (service pack, hot fixes, etc) for older versions of VS. However it's not used nearly as much as the new collection is used (where we are doing our VNext work). That meant we went from 1 –> 2 collections, however, both run on the same hardware so it's still one TFS server.
The second issue, and I wrote about this some a couple of years ago, was that the DevDiv server had gotten so big and so mission critical that we had grown to be VERY conservative about updating it. Part of dogfooding is being able to use builds that are under development but we got ourselves into the position that we couldn't any longer due to the fact that we couldn't risk the service interruption that bugs in intermediate builds might induce. To address this issue, last summer, we set up a new TFS server that we affectionately call "Pioneer". On this server we have a relatively small portion of the overall DevDiv organization (maybe 350 people) doing their daily work. These teams were chosen for their tolerance for possible disruption – in most cases they are people who directly or indirectly contribute code to TFS feature scenarios and are therefore willing take some risk in order to use the latest features. We update the Pioneer server every few months.
All of this means that when I report DevDiv number, I'll report them in 3 sets: VS VNext, VS Servicing and Pioneer. Some things, like user count, aren't mutually exclusive (often the same people use 2 or more of the collections) and this will result in "double counting" if you just add up the numbers. However most things actually can be added to get a total number.
As you look at the numbers, a couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The VS Servicing database was around for a long time. It had many people using it for many years.
2) The Pioneer database has a small subset of teams really working in it – so it's a fraction of the DevDiv size. Recent users doesn't accurately reflect the proportion because it doesn't distinguish between "light users" (someone who looks up a bug) vs heavy users (people doing checkins).
3) Pioneer is running Dev 11 pre-release bits and we have made some changes. For instance, attachment content is now included in the file count.
Here's a look at the top 10 table sizes for each of the databases:
VS V.Next
VS Servicing
If we step back a bit and look at the broader adoption of TFS within Microsoft, we'll see that it has continued to trend steadily up.
And here's a simple tabular form to look at a few key metrics changing in just a few months:
Service Offering
Oct 2010
Jan 2011
Team Project Collections
Team Projects
Work Items
Source Code Files
As you can see adoption continues unabated and we are now at about 20,000 active users (people who use it every week) using the system. DevDiv remains the biggest single instance – MSIT is broken across many instances due to the organization of their work. We're all ready dogfooding V.Next on Pioneer and will be looking to expand that later this year. It's great to see so many teams and people getting value from TFS.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Geography matters for creativity and innovation.Smart people need to be near each other to share ideas, recruit one another and form communities. Hubs such as Silicon Valley show how important this is during the day -- but how much does place matter for technology and innovation outside normal working hours?To find out, we mapped the UK's tech and startup meetups. Some are for specialists (eg Ruby meets) whereas others are for those with a broader interest (Oxford Geek Night). Organisers can also tap into "franchises" of events including Open Coffee and Dorkbot. So where are you going tonight?Click into the gallery below for a big fat full-screen version... Edited by Alice Vincent Comments Looks like you missed off 'Convergence Conversations'. They're monthly unconference events ran by the UKs technology trade association, Intellect. Convergence Conversations bring 70+ people together across media & technology, from blue-chip multinationals to tech start-ups to debate issues under the umbrella of convergence. Recent topics include social TV, data obesity, and the connected consumer. More info here www.convergenceconversations.com. Plus they're FREE. Colin Batten Sep 6th 2011 Where can I find details of all these meetups without having to search for each one individually? I'd love to know if there are any happening near me. Dave Sep 6th 2011 In reply to Dave Plenty of them include their events in our events calendar -- click "Events" at the top of the screen, though we don't have a location search yet. Duncan Sep 6th 2011 You have missed of Winchester Web Scene, which has on average about 25 people.And there is Heart & Sole Meetup in Chichester and PFMeet in Portsmouth. Syd Lawrence Sep 6th 2011 Man, why did you do this horizontally? I shouldn't have to tilt my head to read the chart. This infographic should be vertically oriented! Great content, but my neck's too sore after reading it. Andy Cotgreave Sep 6th 2011 Hi Georgina, TechMeetups.com launched The London Silicon Roundabout Meetup Group in Dec 2010 and we now have over 1,300 members. Our regular monthly meetups attract 100-125 members. TechMeetups Sep 6th 2011 There's another one in Portsmouth - Portsmouth Freelancers Meet, 2nd Tuesday of the month for web designers, devs & film makers! Over 100 members and around 15-30 attendee's each month. Joanna Eyre Sep 7th 2011 Missed out cardiffrb too, a Ruby meetup in Cardiff. Would be great to see these grouped by city to see where is more up and coming. Gareth Rees Sep 8th 2011 Where's the data? Can you make the name, class, attendance levels and ideally, location available as a spreadsheet? Cheers Patrick Weber Sep 16th 2011 Hi all, Most universities have student-run enterprise societies that are all about innovation and entrepreneurship across tech, creative, lifestyle etc. Get in touch if you want to get involved with your nearest email@example.com Katerina Elias-Trostmann Sep 26th 2011 There is a systematic distortion here: the older events/groups already had their own web software to organise meetings, and so don't get picked up by the MeetUp survey, e.g. these in Cambridge: CHASE, Cambridge Energy Forum, CETC, Cambridge Network...So the Cambridge emphasis at the left hand end of the chart is in reality even more pronounced than this data shows. Philip Sargent Sep 27th 2011 One developer event that has been missed off this infographic is a night that QuBit run called Soho School Nights which currently has over 210 members and gets 40 people on average to a monthly night in Soho. There is a meet up page on meetup.com just search for soho school nights. Ian McCaig Oct 3rd 2011 Reply to a comment Name Email Comment Submit » Latest on wired.co.uk

Police: Man gets third DUI on Boise Bench
Authorities have arrested a Boise man on felony driving under the influence after they say they saw him driving erratically on the Boise Bench.
Boise Police say they saw a vehicle speeding and swerving within its lane early Friday (March 5) just after midnight as it travelled eastbound on Overland.
Officers stopped the driver, Derek Davis, at Overland and Roosevelt. The suspect, who appeared to be under the influence at the time, failed several field sobriety tests and a blood draw was performed for later testing.
Officers say they recovered a small amount of marijuana from the vehicle. A check through Ada County records indicated the 38-year-old has had two prior convictions for DUI making this charge a felony.

text: Afghan Massacre Survivor: I Saw Up to 20 Soldiers First Western journalist visits Afghan village where 17 died By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Mar 30, 2012 4:57 AM CDT | Updated Mar 30, 2012 6:45 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (22) (Newser) – Australia's Yalda Hakim has become the first Western journalist to interview survivors of the massacre that killed 17 Afghan civilians, and their account of events is very different from the US military's. Military officials say that Robert Bales acted alone, but some survivors spoke of seeing up to 20 soldiers, MSNBC reports. One 8-year-old girl says the shooter shot her father before shooting her in the leg while other men were present, holding lights. A woman whose husband was killed during the incident says there were up to 20 Americans pointing their guns at her. Hakim—who says US investigators tried to prevent her from speaking to child survivors—also spoke to the Afghan general whom President Hamid Karzai has assigned to investigate the killings. He told her that village elders believe several soldiers took part in the massacre, and they found the boot prints of three or four people. Other Afghans, however, say they only saw one soldier leave the base that night, CNN reports.

|Toward a knowledge infrastructure for traits-based ecological risk assessment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20981838 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The trait approach has already indicated significant potential as a tool in understanding natural variation among species in sensitivity to contaminants in the process of ecological risk assessment. However, to realize its full potential, a defined nomenclature for traits is urgently required, and significant effort is required to populate databases of species-trait relationships. Recently, there have been significant advances in the area of information management and discovery in the area of the semantic web. Combined with continuing progress in biological trait knowledge, these suggest that the time is right for a reevaluation of how trait information from divergent research traditions is collated and made available for end users in the field of environmental management. Although there has already been a great deal of work on traits, the information is scattered throughout databases, literature, and undiscovered sources. Further progress will require better leverage of this existing data and research to fill in the gaps. We review and discuss a number of technical and social challenges to bringing together existing information and moving toward a new, collaborative approach. Finally, we outline a path toward enhanced knowledge discovery within the traits domain space, showing that, by linking knowledge management infrastructure, semantic metadata (trait ontologies), and Web 2.0 and 3.0 technologies, we can begin to construct a dedicated platform for TERA science.

Body found near Wakota Bridge identified
A body found in the Mississippi River near the Wakota Bridge last week has been identified as a University of Minnesota student who went missing in April.
Nicholas Patrick Pacha, 19, was discovered by an angler about a half-mile south of the Wakota Bridge near the border of South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights June 2. Police from both cities responded to the scene, and the Dakota County Sheriff's Department recovered the body shortly thereafter. The body was identified by the Hennepin County medical examiner's office June 5.
Pacha, originally from Naperville, Ill., had been missing since April 29. He's believed to have jumped from the Third Street Bridge in Minneapolis; Dakota County Sheriff Dave Bellows would not confirm the circumstances of his death, but did say that no foul play was suspected.
While such discoveries are rare, Bellows said people who believe they've seen a body in a river or lake should call 911 instead of attempting to confirm the find or recover the body at the risk of their own life.
"The first thing we want them to do is contact authorities," Bellows said. "Fortunately with cell phones, most people tend to have one with them."
Bellows also extended his condolences to Pacha's relatives in Illinois.
"I feel for the family," he said. "You expect your child is going up there and getting a good education, and this is a tragedy."

Gov. Bill Haslam announced Monday that the U.S. Small Business Administration has granted a disaster declaration for Metro Nashville-Davidson County and its contiguous counties, including Rutherford, for the flash flooding that occurred earlier this month.
The declaration also includes Cheatham, Robertson, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties, and an SBA disaster declaration makes homeowners and businesses affected by the disaster eligible for low-interest loans.
Those affected have until Oct. 25 to apply for assistance for physical damage and until May 26, 2014, to apply for relief from economic injury, according to a news release.
"Access to the SBA's disaster loans will help individual homeowners, renters and businesses begin the recovery process much faster," Haslam said. "I am grateful to the SBA for making this assistance available."
The interest rates for homeowners without credit elsewhere will be 1.937 percent. Loans for homeowners with credit elsewhere will be 3.875 percent. Interest rates for businesses will be four percent for those without credit elsewhere and six percent for businesses that have credit elsewhere. Additionally, the SBA will open temporary offices to help homeowners and businesses with the disaster loan process. More information on SBA disaster loans is at http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/loans-grants/small-business-loans/disaster-loans
On Thursday, Aug. 8, a severe weather front with heavy rain - in excess of 10-inches in some locations - moved across portions of Davidson County and Sumner and Wilson counties. First responders performed nearly 200 water rescues and high water covered numerous roadways and low-lying areas.

In 1999, the North Carolina Governor's Mansion had 51,435 visitors; in December 1999 alone, when the mansion is decorated for the holidays, there were nearly 20,000 visitors and guests.
The Mansion Staff
In addition to the personal staffs of the governor and first lady, the executive mansion has many others who pride themselves in keeping the residence running. The North Carolina State Highway Patrol provides security and has officers in the mansion on Executive Detail. Because of their extended training and work detail, these officers are often referred to as Super Troopers, and they provide security for the executive grounds, the Governor and First Lady, and mansion guests. "It takes a long time to get here, even after you apply," said one officer. "It's a job you take because you love it."
Another important group of people in the mansion are the tour guides, or docents. The docents put in more than 1,200 volunteer hours each year. The mansion is host to nearly 1,000 tours with guests from all over North Carolina, the U.S., and the world.
Another integral part of the mansion staff are the trustees. Trustees are men and women incarcerated in area minimum-security correctional facilities. They are responsible for many different functions throughout the mansion, and many come to the mansion without prior skills. Vicki Cilley, Residence Manager under Governor and Mrs. Hunt, dedicates time to train the trustees for the mansion. In addition to the regular mansion staff, trustees are responsible for mansion cleaning, gardening, landscaping, and even cooking. While at the mansion, trustees gain skills that they can use when they re-enter the workforce. "I have one trustee in the kitchen right now," said Cilley. "I'm teaching him about baking and he's so eager, so anxious to learn. That makes it worthwhile."
