The NFL has hired its first female full-time official! Sarah Thomas, one of nine new game day officials hired for the 2015 season, is breaking barriers and blazing trails as the first woman to have completed the National Football League's official development program and been subsequently hired as a regular by the league.
Sarah's no stranger to making tough calls—she's been officiating football games for nearly twenty years, and she's a mom and wife with a full-time job as a pharmaceutical rep. But being welcomed into the organization as a full-time line judge has a new set of unique challenges and pressures: Will she make the right call? Will her calls be scrutinized more harshly because she is a woman? So far this season, Sarah has earned much-deserved praise for doing her job well. Earlier this month, she called a game-winning touchdown with only five seconds on the clock and earned kudos from players and coaches alike. It couldn't have been easy to tell an entire defensive line that they failed to do their job and lost the game.
Sarah told nfl.com that shattering the glass ceiling was never her intent. "I've never set out to do that, but I'm telling you it's an honor," she said. "And I'll just say, for anybody, male or female, go and do something because you love it, not because you're wanting to prove somebody wrong or you want recognition for it."
Trailblazing comes easy—or is at least part and parcel—when you're living as whole-heartedly as Sarah does. What barriers might you break when you live with your whole heart?
This summer, we were inspired by a fan story that developed through our weekly Facebook charm giveaway. Laureen was the winner of the Aquarius charm from our new Zodiac Collection. Once the prize was announced, she read through the post comments and was especially moved by one written by Donna. Donna and her husband both shared the Aquarius sign. Her husband was suffering from terminal cancer, and she was hoping to win the charm to wear in honor of their love and life together. When Laureen read Donna's comment she was reminded of her own cancer story, and she immediately sent a private message to the Chamilia page requesting that her prize be sent to Donna, a gesture of "paying it forward." Chamilia sent both women charms as a way to acknowledge the power of paying it forward and remembering those we love. Every Friday in October, Chamilia will be offering fans an opportunity to continue paying it forward.
How it works:
Each Friday during the month of October, fans can respond to a #PayItForward giveaway question by leaving a comment below the post on the Chamilia Jewelry Facebook page. For each post, one fan will be randomly selected to receive two prizes - one to give or "pay it forward," and one to remind them to continue to think of others in the future.
Visit facebook.com/ChamiliaJewelry to participate.

One-handed typer Extraordinaire!
My body creates, houses, nurtures and nourishes life. That is awesome.
Kegel Kop says: TIGHTEN UP!
my ds is the same age of your dd, he also hates cows milk. I give him a cup of half whole milk and half yogurt and he loves that.
Ds 9/09 nursed for 20 months
Dd 12/11 nursing a toddler again
Greek yogurt, I find, has a much thicker consistency, so is less likely to be dribbled everywhere, if you decide to let your LO feed herself. This doesn't mean there won't still be a mess though , but I think it's easier for babies/toddlers to eat.
Sounds a lot like my DD. She doesn't nurse during the day at all anymore. But she does still nurse when she wakes at night. I really thought she was weaning, but now she is nursing more through the night. I think I am just going to go with her cues.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. *Helen Kellar*
I am in the same boat with DD2, she only nurses 4 times a day and sometimes it will be for maybe 10 min but sometimes its only until the letdown finishes and she pops right off. She has never loved it and never asks so, like you, I offer and get rejected a lot. It is frustrating and honestly it hurts my feelings. DD1 was just polar opposite, she nursed all the time, anytime I offered and usually for a minimum of 10 min, almost always 20-30 min. And at a year, she barely ate any solids, was huge and round and nursed 7 times a day, not at night. It is hard to say about the nightweaning, I was sneaking into DD2's room and nursing her in her sleep at night for many months cause I thought she needed it. Anyway, daytime did improve after stopping that feeding, but it was just one feeding and she actually stopped it herself during a 10 day strike that we had. I am somewhat glad cause it was hard getting up and I probably wouldn't have stopped it on my own since her weight gain is slow. Is weight any issue for you? That could help decide it for you. What about stopping one of the night feeds and see if that helped. You are right that it could go the other way and not pick up the day feeds, you'd have to be careful not to give more solids so that she makes it up. I am hoping someone else will respond and say they had a baby like this who changed later and nursed till 2 or so. I keep hoping for that but it doesn't seem to be changing for us, though she does seem to like it more than she did a few mths ago. I also pump a lot and give her milk in her straw cup at meals which she likes. She usually drinks about 2 oz that way and I am happy to give her that. It does stink to pump but it might be an idea for you.

- Abstract
- Helium ion implantation into metals can be used to form nanoscale cavities in high concentration in the surface. These cavity structures have unique features which offer potential for applications such as catalysis. Most previous studies have used ion accelerators to carry out the helium implantations. Here helium implantation using pulsed plasma immersion ion implantation (PI3 TM) is investigated. Previously we have reported results for PI3 implantations of 40-keV helium, and 20-keV oxygen, into Ti metal and two Ti alloys (including Ti-6Al-4V). Here we extend this work and examine in detail the depth profiles, determined by HERDA, of helium, hydrogen and oxygen in these metals following implantations of helium only, at several helium dose levels and two helium energies. It is found that the profiles for casual hydrogen and oxygen are strongly influenced by the depth profile and fluence of the implanted helium. The effect on the profiles of subsequent PI3 oxygen implantation is also reported.

Law school discusses drugs
The first session of the third annual Randolph County People's Law School took place Thursday night in a packed county courtroom, despite the heavy snowfall which recently covered the region.
Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong conducted the free evening lecture alongside five county probation officers. During the Thursday lecture, the first of six weekly meetings, she spoke to citizens some of them parents about the effects of different drugs and the county's efforts to curb drug use by juveniles and adults through the Randolph County Drug Court programs.
"Hopefully you will gain a basic understanding (of the types of drugs)," Wilfong said to the crowd during her opening remarks.
The evening was split into two sections, beginning with basic drug education and following with a discussion about drugs. She quickly turned the floor over to the probation officers. West Virginia Supreme Court Probation Officer Jason Elmore took the stage to discuss the effects of different drugs.
Elmore began by speaking about suboxone, a commonly used drug that was initially intended to be a replacement for methadone, a prescription drug that can be used to reduce opioid dependency.
He said that approximately 200,000 people use the drug daily, some legally and some illegally.
However it's used, the potential for abuse is high when the pill is snorted, allowing the drug to create an effect similar to other opioids.
Wilfong said the abuse of this drug is much higher than many other drugs.
"I see probably 50 times more suboxone and methadone abuse than heroine," she said.
Another commonly abused drug discussed by Elmore was methamphetamine.
Unlike suboxone, which is developed by pharmaceutical companies, meth can be manufactured in the home.
"You can walk into Walmart and buy everything you need to make meth," Elmore said.
The key ingredient that which makes the user experience a high is pseudoephedrine, a chemical found in the decongestant Sudafed, he said. Due to illegal use of the decongestant, Sudafed is now commonly kept behind the counter at most drug stores.
Other ingredients in the creation of meth include lithium battery acid and drain cleaner, and the cooking process, which can be completed inside a two-liter plastic soda bottle, can lead to explosions and chemical burns.
Contamination is a large concern in the creation of meth, Elmore said. Residue from the cooking process can leave chemicals on doors and walls.
Innocent bystanders can also be affected, such as children living in a meth user's home, Wilfong explained.
"We are hearing about kids being exposed to the cook process. It's burning their lungs up," she said.
Other drugs on the street, Elmore said, include cocaine, heroin, marijuana and various prescription pills.
Prescription pills, he said, are sometimes used by juveniles who may engage in "pill parties," where different pills are mixed together and ingested as part of a group gathering.
Wilfong said marijuana can be thought of as a gateway drug for teens.
"(Kids) build up a tolerance (to marijuana). They look for the next best thing," she said.
Following a short break, the presenters and participants took their seats to discuss rehabilitation.
In Randolph County, the adult and juvenile drug court programs are being implemented to curb drug use.
Sherry Hulver is the probation officer who leads juvenile drug court.
"It's an intensive outpatient program to help kids who are at risk," she said.
The program is typically geared toward kids between the ages of 10 and 17 who have committed nonviolent misdemeanors, felonies or drug/alcohol offenses.
The entire program can be completed in a total of 28 weeks.
Juvenile court documents stated that court sessions meetings with a treatment team that consists of probation officer, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, law enforcement official and the county judge and community service efforts are both a part of the program.
Kids are challenged to break the cycle of abuse and become drug-free. Hulver said kids report better family lives, improved self-esteem and better grades in school as positive consequences of completing drug court.
Adults are placed in a similar environment. The adult drug court can be completed in 12 months and is also geared toward getting the user off drugs, court documents said.
Meetings with a treatment team and Wilfong take place throughout the program, and successful participants can complete drug court as a replacement for jail time.
John Meadows, the adult drug court probation officer, explained what the court is all about.
"The goal of Adult Drug Court is to get people back in the community, back to their families and to get them substance-free," he said.
Sanctions, such as short stays in jail or increased mandated court appearances, can be implemented when offenders are out of compliance with program rules.
Incentives are used to reward good behavior, said Meadows. Gift cards to local businesses and restaurants are often used for this purpose.
Wilfong summed up the evening by speaking about the effectiveness of the drug court programs.
"This is not an easy program," she said. "(Yet), these drug courts are working and they're worth it."
Honesty, acceptance and sobriety are the key parts of the program, she said.
"Can we make these people accountable? Can we make them productive?" she asked those in attendance.
It's an alternative to jail time that can save the county money and improve the lives of those involved, Wilfong said. The judge seemed proud to have the program operating in Randolph County and was optimistic about its future.

A village located on the upper Suriname River is home to close to three hundred villagers. The families have lived in the village for hundreds of years, during times of plentiful rains and nourishment, and also through times of tragedy and turmoil, including the Suriname Civil War. This war raged through the villages on the river, a time when guerrilla warfare was popular. During this time, the 1980's, many families fled the village for fear of their safety. After a treaty was called, villagers returned in hopes to rebuild their lives.
Since their homecoming, the village has been in the continuous process of trying to provide a better place for their families to thrive, including the most recent addition of a meeting house for the Women's Organization. Since the completion of this structure, the village has been seeking other ways to better the community. As the village is located near the top of the Suriname River, the water source contains flow from other villages, not to mention its own waste products. Since it is a river community, the river serves as kitchen sink, washing machine, wash house, and dishwasher; a multi-purpose river in which the women complete the majority of their daily tasks. It is not uncommon to find chicken bones, a lost shirt, or discarded tin can next to the muddy spot in which you are washing your dishes.
In addition to these activities, the river also serves as a water source for the village. This water is used for bathing and cooking, even seldom as drinking water. These activities vary from season to season. The seasons in Suriname differ from those in the US: two rainy seasons and two dry seasons. During the rainy seasons, the families bring water from the river to their homes for drinking and cooking, a quarter-mile uphill walk. They then store the water in rusted metal barrels or plastic tubs. During the dry season, the creeks and river become low and disturbingly unsanitary. Without the rainfall, the multi-purpose river becomes increasingly polluted with the remnants from cooking and cleaning. Even with heavy rains, the river still contains bacteria filled contaminants.
For these reasons, the village is seeking funding in providing clean drinking water. The Durotank Clean Drinking Water Project involves the purchase, transportation and installation of 53 Durotanks, or large water catchments, which will catch rain water. This allows the families to constantly have clean drinking water, without having to resort to muddy murky river water. The water project also ensures that villagers are trained about sanitary water practices and the proper steps for maintenance of the tanks.
In addition to the benefits the tanks will provide, villagers will also participate in the project design, proposal writing, project implementation and completion. This allows villagers to obtain the knowledge and skills required to help with village projects. Also, this helps to instill a sense of ownership in the project, which helps to reinforce the sustainability and longevity of the project.

If the RFL/ SL are determined to bankroll SL regardless, my opinion counts for nothing so there's no point. However I may chose to enter the debate if Salford are shown the door to SL if it all goes teets up.

Oh, speaking of events, I was thinking of having Aika commute to the town over for her modeleing job. As such, she'll be gone for around a week, then she'll come back; but I'm not sure when I can make this happen and not conflict whatever timeline we have. Suggestions, anyone?
I am just waiting for Diego and Louise to finish up the picnic and such

Yeah, just waiting for Louise's reacions and then the whole thing would progress offscreen.

Sorry if I was holding anybody up - the picnic's been time-skipped on my side now, though. Ready for progression, but just to check - when we jump to Avalon, do we show up in the clothes we were wearing that day or what we were sleeping in? I think we had some people do each last time.
@CR: I think it's a bit early in the RP's life-cycle to do anything in the way of a festival episode. On the other hand, perhaps the characters could use Avalon to propose a meet-up back in the real world, so they could at least get each other's contact information and all.
@Raiden: Taking her out for a week would likely work if the GM put us through a time-skip, in which case you would play out a few choice scenes from Aika's week before jumping to her return. With us playing out every day, though, leaving for a week would be a problem (unless Avalon can call us from outside Misty Springs).
I'm ready for Avalon too. XD Janna would love to see her Persona not turn out to be a zombie. XD

Well, the trigger for Avalon is chasing the butterfly in your dreams, right? I figured you could do that from anywhere. :/
And on that note, I'm also ready for Avalon. I might as well put Aika under house-arrest until the night. ^_^;

text: I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place. My question is somewhat related to the "norm" of breastfeeding a toddler but also to weaning. My DD is 19 months old, and I have no intention of weaning her before she's ready. That being said, she used to nurse every 2 hours but has gone closer to 4 hours during the day in the past few months. She continues to nurse at night every 2-4 hours (longer in between feedings as the night goes on and she sleeps deeper). I am home with her four days a week and work three days a week. On work days, I send EBM with her to daycare. I usually send 8 ounces, which she gobbles up. They have extra in the freezer, and she sometimes consumes an extra 4 ounces, though this isn't an everyday thing. At any rate, I am still pumping 3 times a day at work, and I have noticed that my output is much less than it used to be. At this point, I'm bringing home 8 ounces at the beginning of my three-day work week and this progressively declines to 4 ounces by Day 3. So, on average, I bring home 18 ounces in a week, and I send 24 ounces in a week. I would like drop one pumping session, and in trying this, I have found that my output is even less (big surprise, right?). I've done the math, and with what I bring home weekly plus my freezer stash, I would run out in about 5 more months. But, what do I do then if she is still nursing and taking milk at daycare? How is this "supposed" to work? What's the norm? Do I start sending other liquids? Do I start sending just what I pump and give her water for the rest of the day? Do I add back in that pumping session I had dropped? Or should I even drop it??? Technically, dropping that third pump would be closer to her daytime nursing schedule - it just doesn't produce as much as I think she'd like to drink. Ugh! I think I make myself crazy with this stuff. Any help would be appreciated!!

Pilot Julia Link, 30, and photographer Karl Hedberg, 71, have flown together before to capture aerial photography of the islands.
But this flight ended with the cameras on them.
"Everything seemed fine. We did a photo flight. We were at 3,000 feet over Punchbowl. Everything seemed normal with the aircraft," said Link. "All of a sudden it got real quiet. Engine quit. The low RPM horn came on."
"Yup I landed in the street!" said Link. "I was like, 'Are you going to be freaking kidding me?' We practice this all the time. First, I thought it was a joke. I was like, 'Oh my God! This is for real!' Three-thousand feet is a lot of time to think about things."
Link called the fire department to let them know what was going on.
"I prayed before we went up and I figured, the Lord will take us down," said Hedberg. "We came in, we were skidding. I felt like we were at an amusement park. But, that car got us on the final skid."
Some of the employees with Emergency Medical Services are calling her a hero because Link avoided hitting people.
"I'm actually kind of disappointed I ruined a brand new aircraft! The landing was nice, I have to say. I'm glad everybody walked away alive. No one got seriously hurt," said Link. "But, I could have done a better job."
First responders say there are very few who could have done a better job.
Click here to see more pictures from the scene.
To clarify, the aircraft was not brand new, but had just been refurbished for Mauna Loa Helicopters.
Link and Hedberg plan to go up again to finish their aerial photography assignment as soon as the Federal Aviation Administration gives the green light.

"Nuclear Scientists as Assassination Targets"
Journal Article, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, volume 68, issue 1, pages 61-69
January/ February 2012
Author: William H. Tobey, Senior Fellow, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Managing the Atom
Five scientists and engineers connected with Irans nuclear program have been killed or injured in recent confirmed or possible assassination attempts. It is unclear who is responsible, but the attacks raise unique policy questions about motives, effectiveness, repercussions, and legal and moral standards. Past assassination plots including a US plan to kidnap or kill a German atomic scientist in World War II suggest that such attempts are products of desperation: A nation tries to kill another countrys nuclear scientists when it sees no military or diplomatic options for addressing a perceived threat of existential proportions. The possible advantages of targeting another countrys nuclear scientists are modest at best, possibly delaying (but not halting) a nuclear weapons program while providing some deniability to the attacking country. The disadvantages are many, including the possibility that assassinations will inspire retaliation, reduce the likelihood of a diplomatic solution, and increase the difficulties international regulators face in monitoring a covert nuclear program. In the abstract, moral and legal strictures also weigh against such assassination efforts. As a practical matter, however, if the existential imperative is present, it will likely trump legal and ethical considerations when a nation contemplates assassinating nuclear scientists.
Since 2007, international media have reported the violent deaths of four scientists and engineers connected with Irans nuclear program and an attempt on the life of a fifth. The news reports on such killings are murky, incomplete, and, in some instances, likely inaccurate.

Women across the poor world have confounded the doomsters and are choosing to have dramatically fewer babies.You may not have noticed, but for some time now the average number of babies being born to each woman has been in decline in most of the world. A generation ago, the world fertility rate was around six kids per woman. Today it is 2.6, which is getting close to the level needed just to maintain the current population long-term. Allowing for girls who don't make it to adulthood, that is around 2.3.
Some say the TV, more than schooling or rising incomes, is liberating the women of Asia and Latin America.In Brazil, hotbed of Catholicism, fertility is below 1.9. Nothing the priests say can stop the fall. More than a third of married women there have opted to be sterilized. The fact is, these women are seeing "Sex and the City" on TV and choosing a life beyond endless child-rearing. Some say the TV, more than schooling or rising incomes, is liberating the women of Asia and Latin America.

Reporter: 10th Soldier Died When Mortar Malfunctioned
An Army report says a 10th Mountain Division soldier soldier who grew up in Tacoma, Washington and who died two years ago in Afghanistan was killed by friendly fire.
Wyrick left four sons and a wife at DuPont. He was a 1996 graduate of Franklin Pierce High School who played football. He had two previous deployments to Iraq.
Reporter Adams Ashton told 7 News he attended Wyrick's funeral.
"His funeral was just a heartbreaking day," Ashton said, "because he had four sons. It was just a day you never forget, as a reporter."
Ashton didn't. For months he asked for a more detailed explanation of how Wyrick had died, and eight months ago filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the military's report on Wyrick's death. That request led to Ashton uncovering the cause of Wyrick's death.
Read our original report of his death here.

Parking Expansion DTF
Parking Expansion DTF
Parking Expansion Disappearing Task Force
- January 5, 2000
- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Notes
Attending: Jill Cordner, Thad Curtz, John Cushing, Deston Denniston, Wendy
Freeman, Steve Huntsberry, Trevor Lytle, Sherry Parsons, Paul Przybylowicz,
Darren Shaffer, Michael Van Gelder, Bill Zaugg, John Carmichael
1. Subcommittee reports
a. Outreach. Thad said that the next step in outreach would be an article
in the CPJ. Wendy suggested that the group create posters showing many of
the options and display them around campus. Several members expressed
hesitation about posters. Do we have enough information about the options?
Is it too much information for passers-by to absorb? Are all of the options
really feasible?
b. Environmental impacts. Trevor said that two studies are underway. One
is a survey of large trees in B and C lots. The other is a survey to be
distributed from the parking booth. Results should be available within two
weeks. The subcommittee considered looking at water run-off, but believes
that others may already be looking at that issue.
c. Budget. No report.
d. Commute Trip Reduction. Sherry asked what the DTF needs from this
subcommittee. Thad asked the subcommittee to consider two questions. If
the college had a substantial amount of money for the Commute Trip Reduction
program, how should it be used? If the Commute Trip Reduction program had
more institutional authority -- for instance, the power to affect work
schedules -- what would it do?
2. Report from John Cushing
a. John Cushing described the Semniar II design process. In selecting a
site and building design, the Seminar II DTF has been careful to preserve
the feeling of a campus nestled in the woods. John relayed a concern that
these efforts could be thwarted if the Parking Expansion DTF did not have
similar criteria. Some of the parking options under consideration, which
may involve straightening parking rows and removing large trees, would
change the "in the woods" feel. John invited any interested Parking DTF
members to attend the Seminar II design meetings, held every Monday from
3:00 to 5:00 in the Facilities Conference Room.
b. John shared some details from the college's growth plan that may help the
Parking DTF plan. The college plans to increase enrollment by 1,177
students above current levels by the 2010-2011 academic year. Of these new
students, 400 will be added in the Evening and Weekend Studies, Tacoma, or graduate
programs, so are not likely to need daytime weekday parking on campus.
c. John was asked about the effect of class scheduling on parking demand.
He said that there is room for scheduling more classes on Mondays and
Fridays. During the Lecture Hall remodel, the college was able to make up
for the loss of that space mainly by scheduling classes during less popular
times. Some faculty feel that it is difficult to get students to attend
classes scheduled on Mondays and Fridays.
3. Report from Michael Van Gelder
Sherry Parsons introduced Michael Van Gelder, who was formerly the Commute
Trip Reduction (CTR) coordinator for Intercity Transit, and now works for
the state Department of General Administration, developing CTR programs for
state agencies. Michael described several factors that can reduce commuting
and demand for parking:
* restricted access to parking
* increased parking fees
* financial incentives or subsidies
* programmatic elements (for instance, help arranging carpools, van pools,
compressed work weeks, etc.).
Successful programs have reduced commuting by 15-39 percent. The average
reduction is approximately 20 percent. Sherry said that Evergreen's program
has typically achieved a reduction of about 4 percent. Michael reported
that SPSCC, UW, and the University of Oregon at Eugene have successful CTR
programs. Intercity Transit will soon be implementing a program to make
free bus passes available to all state employees in Thurston County.
Michael suggested that the college ask the county to temporarily waive its
requirements for more parking to allow time to try reducing demand though a
more comprehensive CTR program.
4. Next meeting
The next meeting is Wednesday, January 12 from 1:00-3:00 in Library 1507.
Agenda items may include:
* Developing a list of criteria.
* Narrowing the list of options to those that are feasible.

The San Diego Padres' new closer, Heath Bell!
Heath avoided arbitration today by signing a one-year contract with the Padres. The deal is worth $1.225 million. So if it wasn't evident before, this confirms that Heath will be the Padres' closer this year. It will be very interesting. We will miss Trevor a lot, but we gotta move on.
Speculation: The Padres and Heath's advisor decided just to do a one-year contract. Perhaps they are looking ahead to the possibility of Trevor coming back in 2010, and if that was the case, Heath would probably move back to the 8th inning role. We'll see how it goes…but we've got a whole season of baseball first!
Hopefully Heath will be able to do very well for us this season!

I'm so gald Heath bell is going to take over the 9th inning! If it's going to be "Heath Time!", then I'm going to be a little bit sad because it reminds me of Trevor..

Big Screen Berkeley: Payback, Yellow Submarine
Payback, it is sometimes said indelicately, can be a bitch. Jennifer Baichal's new documentary Payback, opening this Friday, May 18 at Landmark's Shattuck Cinemas (and most definitely not to be confused with the 1999 Mel Gibson thriller of the same name), takes a more contemplative approach to the term: payback, it turns out, can also be a restorative in the right hands.
Inspired by Canadian author Margaret Atwood's book "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth", the film takes a decidedly broad approach to its topic. Traveling around the world, Baichal examines the interrelatedness of payback, debt, reparations, and revenge, with especial attention paid to debts of the non-monetary variety.
The film begins in Albania, where the question emerges — how do you keep them down on the farm once they've seen Tirana? The not so obvious answer is to invoke Kanun, an ancient, quasi-legal code of honor developed hundreds of years ago. Kanun still holds sway in the remote regions of northern Albania, where farmer Llesh Prenaga has been under virtual house arrest for the last three years. … Continue reading »

Triumphs of the will
By Richard A Ross
April 30, 2014 —
April 30, 2014 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY—Though the weather felt anything but spring-like this past week, there were nevertheless a spate of heartwarming moments to offset the chill of the week's outdoor athletic events. In some instances teams reached down to mine that extra determination and grit needed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. In other stirring moments, success evinced itself as a product of sheer talent born of the rigors of unrelenting practice. And finally, in the remembrance of a dearly departed athlete, a celebration of the triumph of the will and an affirmation of life authored a new name for a time-honored track meet.

- Effects of structural property and surface modification of Ti6Ta4Sn scaffolds on the response of SaOS2 cells for bone tissue engineering
- Author(s)
- Li, Yuncang; Xiong, Jianyu; Hodgson, Peter D.; Wen, Cui'e
- Abstract
- The physical properties of the new porous Ti6Ta4Sn alloy scaffold, including the porosity and the pore size and various surface modifications, were investigated in terms of its effect on osteoblast-like SaOS2 cells. Results indicated that the cell adhesion density on the scaffolds was directly proportional to porosity in the range of 25–75%, but was inversely proportional to pore size in the range of 75–900 μm. Surface modifications, including alkali-heat treatment (AH), sol–gel hydroxyapatite coating (HA) and alkali heat treatment plus simulated body fluid (SBF) soaking, significantly enhanced the osteoblast-like cell adhesion on the Ti6Ta4Sn scaffold. It is also noticed that the sol–gel hydroxyapatite coating process was more effective compared to the other two processes (AH and AH plus SBF soaking) in terms of enhancing the cell adhesion density of the scaffold. The porous Ti6Ta4Sn scaffold is thought to be a promising orthopedic implant material by virtue of its excellent biomechanical properties, in vitro bioactivity and biocompatibility highly preferred by osteoblast-like cells.

Hitting A Gusher
OIL AND gas drilling is pumping life into the Ohio economy, with Eastern Ohio being a major beneficiary.
Despite the upward turn in production, some state officials are disappointed that the current drilling hasn't lived up to expectations.
We say to those gloom and doomers, relax. It's is only a matter of time before more and more wells are flowing.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced in March that as many as 250 of the natural-gas and oil wells would be drilled in eastern Ohio's Utica shale by the end of the year. State records indicate only 165 wells have been completed with 22 more in the works.
While the number of productive wells does not measure up to projected estimates, 165 wells have fueled a more vibrant economy as well as a much more brighter future.
Some of the lag in getting more wells up and running is tied to lower natural gas prices and a backlog in the work needed to connect the wells to customers.
Hydraulic-fracturing has made shale drilling a burgeoning industry. While the pace may not have lived up to the hopes of some state officials, it will eventually kick in.
Projections call for 750 new shale wells by the end of 2013 and 2,250 wells by the end of 2015. Those numbers are staggering, even if they also come up a little short.
It is safe to say many of those wells will take root in our locale. Eastern Ohio is situated ideally to realize huge benefits from drilling. Nearby Carroll County reflects that, as it has more wells than any other Ohio county at this time with 73.
Regardless of the pace, shale drilling is integral to the future of the Ohio Valley.

Very nice Wizzard! really
nice tour but is every manufactor testing the card before?
I liked it... something different... I would have thought the process would be more automated... but a nice look into the process... thanks W1zz
Nice. Do you have any numbers of about how many graphics cards they have to throw away because the BGA pins were bad?
Slave Labor
Well when I saw that the ATI cards were made in China, I first thought of the slave labor that goes on there. It is sad to see that our nice cards are part of globalization's slave lobor. I wonder how much the workers get from out $299.00 X800XL's??
What happens if we have a war with China? no more ATI cards for the U.S.?
STFU , you just wanna "rescue" these yellow honeys from their factory labor eh? Crusader boy?
the workers in the factory are making good money (compared to regular wages in china), the work is not physically hard.
if the us go to war with china, i suggest you better stop worrying about video cards and start looking for the next nuke shelter
Lol good anwser.
Great article and pictures.
Thanks for sharing!
This was a very cool article!!
pretty cool. Nice to see where my cards came from lol!
woot hot asian schicks at Sapphire i knew it!
x800xl? wow, they still selling those in china? one would make a killing off selling 3870s there
look at the post date of this article...
i knoe....its a Monkey trying to be funny
Glad someone dug this up its excellent

BizWest Media consolidating BCBR, NCBR
- published_in
- Today's News
Its new publication, to be called BizWest, will consolidate the Boulder County Business Report, and the Northern Colorado Business Report. BizWest will maintain offices in Boulder and Fort Collins.
The combined publication will have circulation of 9,000 and will provide business news coverage of Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld counties, as well as the Denver-Boulder Corridor.
BizWest will continue its morning and afternoon online news reports, as well as the biweekly print edition.
Chris Wood and Jeff Nuttall co-founded the Northern Colorado Business Report in 1995 after joining forces with the company that owned the Boulder County Business Report, which was founded in 1982.
"This is a very exciting new venture for our company," Nuttall said. "When we launched the Northern Colorado Business Report in 1995, we saw the increasing convergence of the economies of Larimer and Weld counties. We're now seeing the same sort of business, government and political connections between the Boulder Valley and Northern Colorado."
The region is one of the most dynamic, innovative areas on the Front Range, Wood said, and has numerous entities in common, including research universities, a host of federal labs and businesses whose service areas cross multiple county lines. The fast-growing region is projected to have nearly 1 million residents by 2015.
"If we were to look at these four counties from scratch today, we would be launching one paper, not two," Wood said.
The new editorial initiative will help streamline the news division, expand online news offerings, reduce redundant coverage and provide advertisers a greater reach, he said.
Nuttall and Wood, in addition to serving as managers of BizWest Media, will serve jointly as publishers of BizWest.
Jerd Smith, currently the editor of the Northern Colorado Business Report, will serve as executive editor of the new publication, while Doug Storum, editor of the Boulder County Business Report, will serve as editor.
As a result of the consolidation, four positions will be eliminated and three new posts will be added, for a net staff reduction of one.
BizWest Media LLC also publishes the Cheyenne-based Wyoming Business Report, which is not affected by the change.
