I agree with Archie on the Lyman manual. It has a wealth of information about how to reload, as well as load data. If you do get into hand loading you will eventually want to get additional manuals, but the Lyman has always been my favorite.
Why reload? Economy (either less costs or more shooting), enjoyment, independence (you can buy supplies in bulk) and the flexibility to tailor loads for accuracy and/or purpose. For me, all these apply.
I disagree with those that say it isn't cost effective to load the 9mm. First, I would agree with a word of caution about cast bullets and hexagonal rifled barrels such as Glocks. But if you are able to shoot hard cast bullets, and buy them in bulk, you will save some money (not a lot, but some), and may achieve a significant improvement in accuracy. I'm currently loading 147 grain 9mm hard cast bullets, with a very light coat of liquid alox, to about 939 fps. My cost is about $7.15 per 50. If you count your time, you're not saving much. But my load is much more accurate than the bulk ammo that I've tried, and is a soft recoiling round.
I would also agree with the cautions previously mentioned regarding paying attention to what you're doing. It's not rocket science, and like so many other things if you take the necessary precautions it is safe, but you must pay attention, especially with priming and powder charging.
Equipment needed:
Die set for each caliber
Maybe a separate priming tool - I prefer hand priming tools, others may not
Powder dispenser
Powder funnel
If you decide to make the leap into reloading, you'll find plenty of help and support here.

While Britney Spears was steamin' up things in Las Vegas over the weekend, Prince Wills was doing the same over in Ham, South West London where the young prince was snapped disrobing after a thrilling game of polo. Unfortch, his disrobing was relegated to his top half … but that doesn't mean it's not worth checking out anyways … behold:
Prince William has never failed to attract attention. But the future king turned more heads than usual when he stripped to the waist – revealing a surprisingly toned torso. William appeared to have lost some weight as he swapped shirts during a charity polo match yesterday. He looked honed in his bright red polo shirt and seemed happy to peel off as he changed afterwards … The prince was competing at the annual Chakravarty Cup event at Ham Polo Club in Richmond with his team Umbongo, to raise money for the Prince's Trust. Kate Middleton however was nowhere to be seen as her boyfriend bared all.
As I may have mentioned before, I'm more a fan of Prince Harry but Wills can deffo hold his own weight … and toned muscle … Woot! But almost as soon as Wills stripped off his top, he put on another one and went on his merry way …
… showing up this morning wearing this getup as he was appointed to the most senior British order of chivalry, The Order of the Garter, by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, in a ceremony at St George's Chapel — becoming a Royal Knight Companion and the 1,000th knight in the register … which provided much hilarity for the younger Prince Harry and Wills's girlfriend Kate Middleton:
Prince William today joined other members of the Royal family as a Knight of the Garter. He was formally appointed to the most senior British order of chivalry by the Queen in a ceremony at St George's Chapel, Windsor … The Order of the Garter, established by Edward III in 1348, is in the Queen's personal gifts, without advice from government ministers. In addition to the Royal Knights there are 24 Knights Companion – the maximum permitted. Wearing the distinctive ostrich-plumed cap and velvet robes of the order, William walked next to his father, the Prince of Wales, as the knights made their traditional procession down the Castle Hill to the annual church service. He was watched by girlfriend Kate Middleton, who stood with Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cornwall and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, at the Galilee Porch entrance to the chapel. Ms Middleton, dressed in a black skirt and jacket with matching hat, smiled at William as he made his way past. It is understood to be the first time Ms Middleton has attended an official Royal public event … Each June the order, dressed in their full regalia of blue velvet capes and black velvet hats with elaborate white ostrich plumes, gather at Windsor's St George's Chapel for their annual service. If there are new Companions of the Order of the Garter, the Queen formally invests them with the insignia in the Throne Room of Windsor Castle. Later the Knights process on foot to a service in the chapel where there is a short service and any new Companions are officially installed. Current companions include former prime ministers Baroness Thatcher and Sir John Major, as well as Sir Winston Churchill's daughter Lady Soames.
Er … yes … while I'm sure it's quite an honor to be inducted into the venerated Order of the Garter, I'm sure that Wills would prefer that the ceremonial robes be revamped a bit, made a little hipper — maybe something that look more like uniforms from Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and less like Robin Hood: Men In Tights. I think I speak for pretty much everyone when I say that Prince Wills looks much better wearing much less plumage.0

Exchange 2007 SP3 RU1 - 554 5.6.0 STOREDRV.Deliver; Corrupt message content
I updated our Exchange 2007 SP2 servers to SP3 RU1 last night. Since then I've had a "554 5.6.0 STOREDRV.Deliver; Corrupt message content" error, as described here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2203381/.
SP3 RU1, http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2279665, is meant to fix this problem, not break it! BTW, the servers have never had this problem before.
Any ideas?
All replies
If the reboot does not clear them up, can you track the messages that are flagging these?
I'm wondering if they are going to or from the same people, applications, etc.
Do you have any 3rd party gateways/bridgeheads that these messages pass through?
Do the clients use anything other than Outlook or OWA to send attachments?
Kevin Ca - MSFT
Kevin Ca - MSFT
Hi Kevin,
thanks for the response. So far it has only happened just the once. I have to apply a patch to the servers in the next week or two so I will reboot them then.
It happend when an internal user sent a email to a large number of people. Most of, if not all of, the recipients were internal users. We have two CAS/HT and two Mailbox servers in the same site so no gateways involved/bridgeheads and everyone uses Outlook and OWA.
We have the same issue even after SP3 and RU5 upgrade
we are having SOPHOS Puremessage A/V for Exchange and SOPHOS Endpoint for file AV
Which AV product you are using ?!
if you solved the issue , please let us know who it is reolved ?

Pistorius detective on attempted murder charges
By Peroshni Govender
PRETORIA (Reuters) - The lead detective in the Oscar Pistorius murder case is himself facing attempted murder charges for firing on a minibus full of passengers, South African police said on Thursday as prosecutors argued in court to deny the athlete bail.
Hilton Botha, who took the stand against Pistorius at the Paralympic and Olympic track star's bail hearing earlier this week, is due to appear in court in May over the 2011 shooting incident, police spokesman Brigadier Neville Malila said.
"Botha and two other policemen allegedly tried to stop a minibus taxi with seven people. They fired shots," Malila told Reuters.
At the time, Botha - a detective with 24 years on the force - was chasing a man accused of murdering a woman and disposing of her dismembered body down a drain, local media said.
The charges against Botha were provisionally withdrawn but were reinstated on February 4 - 10 days before the shooting of 29-year-old model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp in a locked toilet at Pistorius' Pretoria home, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said.
"The decision to reinstate was taken on February 4, way before the issue of Pistorius came to light or the murder of Reeva was committed," NPA spokesman Medupe Simasiku told Reuters. "It's completely unrelated to this trial."
Malila said now that the court had decided to charge Botha, there would be an internal disciplinary investigation which would decide whether to keep him on the case: "At this stage there are no plans to take him off the Pistorius case."
It was unclear why the charges were reinstated against Botha, or how the latest twist in Pistorius' sensational four-day bail hearing will affect the athlete's chances of securing release from custody pending his trial. Continued...

Pleasure boats on the river. Food and libation on the West Bank. It's summer in the city.
Not to take the sizzle out of your summer celebration, but what if something happened down in the Flats?
Like the Mother's Day Boat explosion that killed four people, the well publicized drowning and shootings that lead to the demise of the East Bank? Or the raging warehouse fire that lit up the Flats Sky.
With the Flats East Bank now rising from the ashes, an important question needs to be asked: If tragedy strikes, who will respond? and How long would it take to get here?
"You have an office building, you have a hotel. Where's the fast response? It doesn't exist," states Jim Cox of Flats Industry Group.
Where huge freighters navigate the narrow waterway, carrying highly combustible materials from oil to asphalt, with thoughts of new visitors expected in the Flats, there's cause for concern.
"Any firefighter in the city can drive any apparatus, but the fireboat is a specialized piece of equipment, and to function you really need four firefighters," said Michael Norman, Firefighter Union Secretary.
Six trained fireboat operators are assigned to Firehouse-21. But records 19 Action News reviewed show only one or two on any given day, and they're not there to operate the fireboat. They're on stand-by, waiting for assignment to another station low on manpower.
Jim Cox wonders, "What sense does that make? It doesn't make any sense at all. You'd have to ask the fire department why they have such a policy."
And that's what 19 Action news did, posing the same question to fire chief Daryl McGinnis, himself.
"Does it really make sense for them to sit there for two or three hours a day if they could be assigned to a working firehouse, rather than just sitting down there? In my mind, it does," said Chief McGinnis.
But does it really? 8:30 a.m., firefighter Donald McRae reports to Station-21. With no pumper and no other firefighters to staff the fireboat, he waits two hours before getting his assignment: He drives to Firehouse-26 at 78th and Kinsman; miles and minutes from the fireboat he's trained to operate.
The flats fireboat station it remains closed for the next 22 hours. Michael Norman said, "It's a gamble having that fireboat strategy the way it is now. The station is right on collision bend. If you had a situation where a freighter comes up and down the river would catch fire, and burn right in front of a fireboat that's not responding. I think that would be bad for Cleveland for a lot of ways."
Cleveland's fire chief says response time in the Flats won't be compromised by keeping the firehouse closed and reassigning the firefighters. But wait until you see what we caught one of those firefighters doing, while he was supposed to be waiting for his assignment.

The African National Congress which dominates pollitics in South Africa gave Jacob Zuma their full support in his bid for the presidency. The Congress, which regards Zuma as its leader, made clear there would not be any effort to get rid of President Mibeki before he complestes his term as president of the nation. Zuma is due to appear in court on August 14 to respond to charges brought by the Mbeki government of racketeering, money laundeering and corruption. The two men, who once were friends, have now become bitter enemies.
The business world of South Africa is concerned about the election of Zuma who is regarded as much more radical than Mbeki. Zuma has formed close aliances with labor unions and the communist party so his election might well trigger off a fiscal crisis unless step are taken to reassure the business community.
Zuma and Mbeki have clashed over ways to confront issues such as high unemployment, health care, education and the problem of Zimbabwe. Mbeki is a close friend of Robert Mugabe and his refusal to take action after Mugabe's blatant attempt to intimidate opponents and manipulate votes has caused Zuma to pledge, if elected, he will take a more forceful policy towards Mugabe.

Ski Mask Guy Isn't Robbing You; He Just Drives a Volkswagen
In the latest from Volkswagen, there's no way snow is standing in the way of a convertible-top day.
It's hard to imagine a time when someone could wear a balaclava without raising suspicion of nefarious deeds. In a new ad, Volkswagen explores the disparity between what this particular garment was designed for, and what it's come to stand for in popular imagination.
Created by Deutsch L.A., and directed by Noam Murro, the new spot for the Beetle convertible offers a plausible, Volkswagen-inspired reason why a dude might end up at the counter of a convenience store, ski mask fully on face.

The Impact of Child Obesity News on Household Food Expenditure in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom (UK) has one of the highest obesity levels in the world (Mazzocchi et al., 2009). As indicated by the National Health Service (2010), 25% of adults and 17% of children are obese in the UK. This last statistic represents an increase of four points in comparison to 1995. The Government Office for Science (2010) estimated that by 2050, half of the UK population would be obese, with a consequent direct annual cost of £10 billion and an indirect annual cost of £50 billion at today's prices. This research aims to contribute to the debate on how health-related information impacts household food expenditure and whether this impact varies across income groups and household composition. This study specifically measures the impact of child obesity news on household food expenditure in the UK. To this end, the study calculated a set of elasticities for different income groups (high vs. low) and family composition (families with and without children). This set of elasticities gives us a measure of responsiveness, to change in terms of price, income and news. The results indicate that child obesity news causes different impacts on households according to their income level and household composition. Low-income households without children are not significantly impacted by child obesity news. Low-income households with children change their food expenditure composition to a healthier diet without changing the overall food expenditure. High-income households without children decrease their overall food expenditure, mainly changing red meat for dairy products. Finally, high-income households with children increase their overall food expenditure and move on to a healthier diet. Therefore, in three out of four household cases, child obesity news causes a different and positive impact on diet. Low-income households with children in default-mode spend the smallest proportion of their income on fruit and vegetables; which is even less than low-income households without children. More importantly, low-income households with children influence the nutritional habits of their children. This research shows that low-income households with children respond to child obesity news and move on to a healthier diet without causing undesirable income redistribution.

After being sentenced to 1,400 hours of community service for the 2009 beating of Rihanna, Chris Brown was just sentenced to 1,000 more for allegedly fudging his records, reports TMZ.
The L.A. County district attorney accused the singer of violating his probation by submitting fake community service reports. In once case, Brown swore that he was picking up trash in Virginia, but was actually on a private jet to Cancun. Another time, prosecutors said he claimed he was be picking up trash in Richmond when paparazzi snapped photographs of the singer 100 miles away in Washington D.C.
He agreed to 1,000 more hours of community service and to top it off, he won't be getting any credit for the hours he may or may not have completed since his conviction.
Now Brown has the option of completing the remaining hours by doing freeway trash removal, beach clean-up, graffiti abatement or maintenance and janitorial work for the county probation department. They must be completed by August 25, 2014. Only one more year to go!
The singer was convicted in 2009 for famously assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna.

What is SMTI and why does it exist?
SMTI (Strengthening Ministries Training Institute) exists to promote excellence in biblical counselling/discipleship in the local church by training and equipping pastors and other Christians in the theologically accurate and practical use of Scripture in understanding and solving the problems of people, and thus promoting growth in and usefulness for Christ in the church and world.
All the teachers at SMTI are committed to the sufficiency of Scripture in helping their students discover God's answers to Life's problems. Our training program is designed to prepare these students to counsel and disciple others from God's word under the authority of the local Church in South Africa. It is, therefore, the aim of SMTI to strengthen the local church in South Africa by equipping believers to effectively use the Scriptures in their own lives and in the lives of others.
How are the classes in SMTI structured?
At SMTI we plan to offer four training modules per year. The teaching will focus on explaining the theory of counselling and promoting the application of Scripture to Life. Throughout the program we also intend to provide mentorship to students by qualified biblical counsellors.
Each module in the program will be presented over four or five weekends, Friday evening (5:30-8:30) and Saturday (8:30 – 4:30).
Students who have successfully completed the courses in the program will be given the opportunity to attend an Intern programme with SMTI. They will be encouraged to seek certification by NANC (National Association of Nouthetic Counsellors) and guided in the process of certification.
In addition to the regular courses that form the core of the training program, SMTI intends to present seminars that will focus on issues of interest to all Christians and not just those who are interested in being trained to be counsellors.
Similarly, SMTI also plans conduct special Pastors' Conferences that will focus on subjects related to Biblical Counselling. Speakers at these conferences might include international speakers who are recognized as experts in Biblical counselling.
Who are the teachers in the SMTI program?
Dr Wayne Mack will be the main teacher in the courses taught at SMTI. He is a graduate of Wheaton College, Philadelphia Seminary and Westminster Theological Seminary as well as having had extensive graduate studies at LA Salle University, Eastern Baptist Seminary, Wheaton Graduate School and Trinity Evangelical Seminary. Dr Mack was chairman of the graduate and under graduate counselling program at The Master's College and Seminary. He and his wife Carol are members of and very active at Lynnwood Baptist Church, Pretoria.
Dr Mack is also a charter member of the NANC and for many years served on the executive board of that organization. In 2005, he was named a Member of the Academy of NANC and Randy Patten, the executive Director of NANC, recently made this comment, "Dr Mack was only the fourth person to receive this prestigious recognition in all of NANC's thirty one year history. Membership in the Academy is reserved for ordained clergymen who have made a significant contribution to the development of nouthetic (Biblical) counselling."
Dr Mack will be assisted in the teaching by the following men:
Pastor Sybrand de Swardt is in the final phases of completing his MABC in Biblical counselling at The Master's College and is pastor of Lynnwood Baptist Church in Pretoria. He is a graduate of the Baptist Seminary in Cape Town and has been in the pastorate for 7 years. Several years ago, he completed an intensive two year program in biblical counselling. In his ministry, Sybrand has done both extensive counselling and has taught counselling related issues.
Dr Joshua Mack has earned a masters degree in Biblical Counselling, a doctorate in expository preaching and is pastor of Living Hope Community Church in Sunnyside. He also provides oversight for the 1hope4africa.co.za mercy ministry. From 1998 to 2000 Joshua taught Biblical Counselling courses at The Master's college in the USA. More recently, he has been involved in teaching in a pastoral training program here in South Africa.
Alan Lester has completed an extensive graduate program in Biblical Counselling and has had much experience in counselling. He is also a published author on Biblical Counselling issues.
What specific courses may be offered at SMTI?
- Introduction to Biblical counselling/discipleship

There's certainly been no shortage of opinions dispensed surrounding Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson's shock breakup with long-time girlfriend Kristen Stewart.
And the latest pundit to pontificate and wade in waist deep on the melodrama? Actor D.B. Sweeney.
D.B. who?
Sweeney's acting credits include movies such as Eight Men Out and The Cutting Edge. The 50-year-old has also appeared on shows including The Event, 24, and Jericho.
And here's an interesting nugget: Sweeney recently worked on the movie K-11, which was written and directed by Snow White and the Huntsman star Stewart's mother, Jules Stewart.
Sweeney ignited somewhat of a Twitter war over the weekend when he dared to suggest that Stewart was right to cheat on Pattinson.
"Just saw Pattinson on #DailyShow trying to figure out what took k-stew so long to look around with this douche astride her. #holytwit," he wrote.
A stoic Pattinson appeared on The Daily Show last week. It marked his first TV appearance since Stewart admitted to and publicly apologised for her "indiscretion" with director Rupert Sanders.
Check out Pattinson's appearance on the show below:
Sweeney immediately incurred the wrath of R-Pattz fans and Twi-hards alike after his out-of-nowhere Twitter roast.
"@actordbsweeney how bout NOT talking about this at all? That would be more professional...but guess any PR is good PR for you?" tweeted one fan.
"@actordbsweeney I hate you. Do not mess with Rob," replied another.
"Don't talk sh*t about the greatness which is Rob when your credentials can't even match his," wrote one of his followers.
Chimed another: "@actordbsweeney woah looks like someone pissed off a bunch of 13 year old girls and 45 year old single women with a cat collection!"
But Sweeney continued to goad the fans by retweeting several irate messages he'd received from Pattinson supporters.
"Hey #twilight genuises try decaf! A little too worked up over a skinny vampire," he later wrote. "Nice language twi-hards. Or should I say tards? Love the inchoate indignation."
Which promoted a snippy response from another Twi-hard: "I'm sure your director @RealJulesStew appreciates your opinion about her daughter. IRONY. Look it up."
Sweeney added hours later: "Dear twihards. Its been a difficult time. First tom and kate. Now rob and kristin im in a spiral. Youre caring abuse has been a comfort [sic]."
Pattinson has yet to comment on the brouhaha.
'A monstrous thing...'
Meanwhile, the Twilight star has blasted the media in the wake of his split from Stewart.
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times during a recent press junket, Pattinson, 26, offered his views on the intense tabloid interest in his personal life.
"Media culture is a monstrous thing," he lamented. "You can't win. The annoying thing is that you can't attack them, but you can't defend yourself. The best thing you could possibly do is punch a paparazzi and give them their big payday."
He continued: "The tabloid industry does terrible, terrible things for the world. It makes people stupid. People say [tabloids] are about escapism, and people have got to get away from the misery of the world.
"It's like, 'No, people are lazy, and they don't want to try.' Every time I've looked at a magazine like that, I've regretted it. I gain absolutely nothing from it. And neither does anyone else."
Pattinson also dished to MTV News that he's motivated by the fear of failure.
"I think as soon as you feel validated, you're a bad actor," Pattinson said. "You have to constantly feel that there's a 99 per cent chance of failure. Total failure. Devastating failure.
"You should feel like every single job is the potential where you're never going to get another job again. Not in a bad way - you should feel good about it, because then you're in it. It's all about living in the present."
Robsten fans have also been left disappointed by news that neither Stewart nor Pattinson will be attending any of the final four Twilight conventions in the US.
And *gulp* Taylor Lautner won't be there either, Creation Entertainment (which puts on the conventions) told The Hollywood Reporter.
"The passion and dedication of Twilight fandom has been amazing and we're out to throw one last giant convention, a final gathering to see old friends that have made up the Twilight family," the group told the site.
"Although Rob, Kristen and Taylor will not be with us this time out we will have a super lineup of other Twilight stars and the weekend will be filled with special events, movie prop and costume displays, contests, panels, auctions, parties, exclusive merchandise, music and much more, including some surprises!"
It's also claimed that Stewart pulled out of an appearance at the upcoming MTV VMAs.
"Bosses were hoping that Kristen and Robert would be surprise guests before this scandal blew up," an insider told The Mirror.
"The idea was for them to jointly present awards... but that has been changed."
Stewart, 22, has yet to make a public appearance following the tabloid bonanza that erupted after her dalliance with 41-year-old married director Sanders.
Rumour has it the actress will make her red-carpet return at next month's Toronto Film Festival.
Stewart will be on hand to help promote her new flick On The Road, which will have a special screening during the fest.
"Kristen will be there," a source told E! Online.
"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected," Stewart said in a statement to People after her fling came to light.
"This momentary indiscretion has jeopardised the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob," Stewart continued. "I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

I have received 2 calls from these people in the last week. Tey are very vague when asked about the "position" for which they are calling you about. The lady I spoke with, Tiffany Rogers, was basically reading my resume to me and telling me that because of my experince, they are very interested in "interviewing me: for a position with their company which is a Fortune 500 company. I was also told to dress professionanlly because of this and to bring my resume and write the names and numbers of 3 referenced on the back of it.
She gave me the address over the phone, 3350 E. Birch St., Brea, CA and was told to be there at 1:00 p.m. She went a little further; "Now neither myself or my secretary will be calling to remind you of this appointment, so make sure you write it all down".
I actually fell for this with Primerica many years ago. Showed up and was given the sales pitch. How sad. All these people dressed up with their breifcases and portfolios in hand just sitting there listening to a sales pitch when they really thought they had a job interview...

A gene trick inspired by salamanders has helped regenerate mouse muscles.
By temporarily turning off a pair of genes identified in research on limb-regrowing newts, researchers turned back the biological clock on mouse muscle cells, allowing them to divide anew and form fresh tissue.
"It's regeneration a la newt," said Stanford University cell biologist Helen Blau, who performed the feat in an August 5 Cell Stem Cell study.
In most animals, including ourselves, cells stop dividing when they've attained their mature, tissue-specific form. Chop off a limb or carve up an organ, and it doesn't grow back. A few creatures, however, including newts and axolotl salamanders, break those rules. They can regrow new limbs, even organs.
That's made them the focus of regenerative medicine researchers, who until recently suspected that regenerators had an extra-large supply of stem cells. In biology's version of alchemy, these cells can take multiple forms — or, in the case of embryonic stem cells, any form.
But newts and salamanders don't rely on stem cells, at least not exclusively. Instead, their standard, adult-issue tissue cells, supposedly incapable of dividing again, revert to a slightly more immature form, and start dividing again.
In the case of new muscle, "they still know they're muscle cells. They retain their identity. They make more copies of themselves, and then specialize again," said Blau. "It's an alternative to stem cells."
Blau's team experimented with two genes: A tumor suppressor called Rb that was flagged in earlier regeneration studies, and another tumor suppressor called Ink4A that they found in the genomes of higher-order vertebrates, but not in newts and salamanders.
Some researchers have been able to make cells regenerate after turning off Rb, but others have failed. Blau's team wondered if both Rb and Ink4A needed to be tweaked. They speculated that Ink4A's protection against cancer came at the expense of regeneration.
In laboratory cultures of muscle cells, they shut down both genes. The cells divided, and kept on dividing. They grew out of control, as in cancer. The researchers tried again, but used a short-lived protein switch to inactivate the genes. That did the trick: The cells divided until the protein wore off, then stopped.
When put into damaged muscles in a mouse, the engineered cells "made really nice muscle fibers," said Blau.
The findings echo research from the lab of Wistar Institute cell biologist Ellen Heber-Katz, who in March described how turning off the p19 gene, which is regulated by Ink4A, led to limited regeneration in mouse ears.
Katz cautioned that much remains to be determined about regeneration, and that it likely requires a complex, varying and as-yet-unknown mixture of cell types and stages. "There are enormous numbers of possibilities," she said.
Blau echoed her restraint. But even if full-blown regeneration is unrealistic, a temporary burst of cell regrowth would still be beneficial, she said.
"Doing what newts do, making a hand or an arm, is incredibly complex. But I foresee this being useful in a different way. You could put cells in a culture dish, allow them to make more copies of themselves, then put them back in the tissue," she said. "Alternatively, You could get the cells to make copies of themselves in the tissue itself, ie. get localized growth and repair. I'm thinking of the heart after a heart attack, or the pancreas in early diabetes."
Blau plans to study other, non-muscle cell types, including nerve cells.
"This might serve as a really interesting alternative to stem cells," she said.
Image: In the left column, a cross-section of torn mouse muscle tissue, without additional imaging; in the middle and right columns, with different types of fluorescent imaging. In the top row, the Ink4a and Rb genes have been permanently inactivated in injected cells; as indicated by the scattered green dots of their nuclei, these are not gathering to form new muscle fibers. In the bottom row, the genes were only only temporarily turned off in injected cells; these are clustering and forming new fibers, so the green dots are larger./Cell Stem Cell.

Two recent studies of monarch butterfly populations paint very different pictures of the champion migrant's long-term fate.
In March, ecologist Lincoln Brower of Virginia's Sweet Briar College expressed concern that monarchs are perilously close to collapse. But in June, University of Georgia ecologist Andrew Davis found no clear population trend in the counts from two U.S. monitoring stations. Both studies were published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity.
"I wrote my paper because I wanted people to see a different side of the story," said Davis, a member of Monarch Net, a cooperative network of monarch monitoring programs. "I think the situation is not as simple as Dr. Brower and his colleagues make it out to be."
Brower, who has studied monarchs for 55 years, worries that Davis' paper will give people a false sense of security. "He's generated a controversy here that could be detrimental to the conservation of monarchs in Mexico," Brower said.
Every fall, hundreds of millions of brilliant orange, white and black monarch butterflies migrate south to overwinter in the mountains of Central Mexico. Coming from as far as Canada, the monarchs fly on a combination of air currents, thermals and hard-wired instinct. Butterfly spotters say it can be like seeing an orange blizzard. But despite the athletic feat of these intrepid travelers, their existence is a frail one.
Until spring, the butterflies live in an oyamel fir tree forest no larger than the city of Chicago, clustering against the trees for shelter from winter storms. Though the monarch's forest is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, that hasn't stopped illegal logging, which Brower describes as "absolutely ferocious."
Brower has monitored monarch populations within these trees for several decades. He worries that logging will devastate the monarch, particularly because the butterflies seem unable to use any sites other than historic ones. "There are 12 known sites," said Brower. "We've flown over the forest, we've searched with satellites to look for new sites, and these are it."
Brower's paper summarizes how much area overwintering monarchs have occupied over the past 17 years, of which the last 15 have seen steady diminishment. During the 2009-10 winter season, the butterflies covered less than five acres, an all-time low. Last season, they rebounded to cover roughly 10 acres, an area still only half of the 15-year average.
"What is going on on the ground down there is a disaster," Brower said.
While Davis believes Brower's methods and analyses are valid, he thinks the overall picture is more complicated.
"By presenting only those numbers, in that one stage of the monarch's life cycle, you're seeing only one part," said Davis. "Look at a different state in the life cycle, and you get the numbers that I showed."
Analyzing counts from fall monitoring stations in Cape May, New Jersey and Peninsula Point, Michigan, he found populations remaining steady.
These fall counts capture the butterflies after a summer of reproducing: The average female monarch lays 700 eggs during her lifetime. Davis believes the monarch's reproductive prowess outweighs the trend seen in overwintering populations in Mexico.
Most of the butterflies traveling through Cape May and Peninsula Point don't travel to the overwintering grounds in Mexico, but Davis believes they still give important numbers.
"These sites are far apart and they still show the same steady trend," said Davis. "Even if you say these sites are in the wrong place, their consistency tells me there are probably other sites in the United States where there are no significant drop in numbers."
Brower disagrees, "There is no reason to expect a decline up there, and the sample size is small. They are a drop in the bucket compared to the population making it to Mexico."
Both men agree a new monitoring site is sorely needed. Butterflies from all over the United States collect in Texas, funneling into a narrow chute to fly over the mountains into the forests of Mexico. A monitoring site here, say Brower and Davis, would give the best picture of the monarch's overall health.
"Being at these migration sites is spectacular," said Davis. "Catch it right and you can watch them whiz by every few seconds. It's like being in an orange blizzard."

Pitoniak: Orange men have nothing to lose
A friend of mine who bleeds Orange says that Syracuse University is now playing with the house's money.
I think that's a good way to look at it as the SU basketball team prepares to play in the school's fifth Final Four Saturday night.
A second NCAA championship obviously remains the goal, but given where the Orange men were just three weeks ago, just making it this far in the tournament is pretty remarkable.
The oddsmakers have installed them as two-point underdogs against a Michigan Wolverines team that obliterated a very good Florida team by 20 points Sunday afternoon. Sophomore guard Trey Burke - the Sporting News' National Player of the Year - averages 18.8 points per game and he, Nik Stauskas and Tim Hardaway Jr. have the kind of outside shooting ability to defuse a zone. Mitch McGary, a 6-foot-10 freshman, and Glenn Robinson III can rebound and finish underneath.
Perhaps what's most impressive about the Wolverines is that, despite fielding a young lineup, they don't usually beat themselves. This is borne out by the fact they have averaged the fewest turnovers (9.4 per game) in the nation this season and have been whistled for the second fewest fouls.
So John Beilein's crew is going to pose one tough challenge for the Orange men.
But let's not forget that Michigan's Big Ten brethren also posed a huge challenge, with an inside-outside game that was supposed to do in SU, and look what happened?
Just as the Orange men haven't faced a trio of 3-point shooters as good as Stauskas (45 percent), Burke (38 percent) and Hardaway (39 percent), the Wolverines haven't faced a zone defense as long and as tenacious as Syracuse's 2-3.
Vanquished NCAA opponents Montana, Cal, Indiana and Marquette averaged a paltry 45.7 points vs. Syracuse and shot just 29 percent from the field and 16 percent (14-for-92) from beyond the 3-point arc. During that span the Orange men have forced 67 turnovers and allowed just 61 field goals. They've averaged 11 steals and six blocks.
Their most impressive performance occurred in their Sweet 16 matchup with top-seed Indiana, when they held the nation's third-most prolific scoring offense to a season low 50 points. Then, Saturday, the Orange topped that clamp-down by allowing Marquette to score just 39 - an Elite Eight record low by a team during the shot-clock era.
The matchup of Michael Carter Williams and Brandon Triche against Burke and Company should be fun to watch. MCW has played like a top-five NBA draft pick of late. He had 24 points against Indiana and contributed 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists and five steals, while committing just one turnover vs. Marquette.
Beilein, who is coaching in his first Final Four after 1,074 games, is familiar with the Syracuse zone, having faced it several times during his days as the head man at West Virginia and Canisius. He also became conversant with it while coaching at Division II LeMoyne College, just a few miles from the Carrier Dome. Having a week to prep for it will be helpful, but it's one of those things that's difficult to replicate in practice.
Michigan and Syracuse have experienced somewhat parallel seasons. Both got off to hot starts - the Wolverines won their first 16 games while the Orange men won their first 10 - and both stumbled down the stretch, Michigan losing five of its last 10 regular-season games, and Syracuse seven of its last 12.
But each team appears to have returned to early-season form.
I think it will come down to which backcourt plays better and if SU's backline of center Baye Moussa Keita and forwards C.J. Fair and James Southerland can continue doing the job defensively.
Of course, this all may be a moot point, given the way Louisville is playing. The Cardinals pummeled Duke into submission in the second half of Sunday's Elite Eight contest. The domination conjured memories of a similar second-half pounding of SU in the Big East title game three weeks earlier.
Regardless what happens, the Orange men clearly have redeemed themselves in this tournament. Anything from here on out is gravy for Jim Boeheim's 30-9 squad.
Author and columnist Scott Pitoniak has followed SU hoops since the mid-1960s and has covered them since the mid-1970s. He is author of "Color Him Orange: The Jim Boeheim Story." You can read more of his stuff at www.scottpitoniak.com.

All Blacks halfback Jimmy Cowan took great delight in pocketing $100 from his skipper Richie McCaw after Southland wrested rugby's Ranfurly Shield off Canterbury for the second time in two years on Saturday.
Cowan, in camp with the All Blacks ahead of Saturday's Tri-Nations test against South Africa in Wellington, had already collected his wager from Canterbury's McCaw, while first five-eighth Colin Slade had yet to cough up the same amount and Cory Jane also lost a side bet with the Gore-born 29-year-old.
Cowan, who starred in Friday's 60-14 test win against Fiji, said McCaw was less than pleased to stump up with the cash after Southland first five-eighth James Wilson kicked a late drop goal to claim a 22-19 win at Rugby Park in Christchurch.
"He didn't like handing that over at the airport," he said. "It was very pleasing to see Southland get a win after two disappointing losses - it was amazing to see that.
"It was very good coming down to breakfast this morning reading the Sunday papers with a big picture of Whopper [Southland captain Jamie Mackintosh] on the back holding the shield."
Southland lifted the shield for the first time in 50 years in October 2009, beat Saturday's opponents 9-3 to send the deep south into raptures, and they successfully defended it five times last season, including three nail-biting wins over national provincial opposition, before the red and blacks recaptured the Log o' Wood.
Cowan, who played an integral role in their shield run, hoped the win would go some way to getting the union back to where it needed to be after some tough financial times.
"It's very hard as a player to go through that in the media when you're getting trouble as a union especially when the likes of Jamie and myself have grown up there as local boys. It was a tough time for both of us.
"It is just pleasing to see them get a result like that last night after a lot of hard work from where they've been over the last six to 12 months," he said.
"It's a start point, so hopefully they can kick on and get some credit back down there."
He said everyone was finding it tough going in Southland, but was optimistic the shield win would give the region a much-needed shot in the arm. "As players we're doing our best to pull the crowds in and try and get some of the money back in. Hopefully we'll see a great crowd there next week when they host Counties."
Southland's Shield defences:
* Friday, 6.05pm v Counties Manukau
* Saturday, August 13 v North Harbour
* Wednesday, August 24 v Taranaki
* Sunday, August 28 v Bay of Plenty

Task One
Your task is to choose a sea creature and write a research report on it. This report will help you learn what the sea creatures need to survive. You will use these factual reports when teaching the prep students. You will need to find facts about:
You will need to print the note taking worksheet from the link below.
After you have printed a copy of the note taking worksheet, you can research your sea creature by clicking on the picture of it. This will take you to the information about your sea creature. Read the information and write your notes on the note taking worksheet to collect the facts you need for your research report.
Task Two
For task two, you and your class are going to make a class book about sea creatures to show the prep students how you use your imagination in story writing.
Imagine that you have become the sea creature you researched.
Now write an adventure story about 'the day you became a sea creature'. Read the following questions and use the answers to help you write your story!
1. What will happen in your sea adventure story?
2. When is your adventure happening, day or night?
3. Where is your adventure happening, the sunlit zone, the twilight zone, or the midnight zone?
5. Why do you (the sea creature) behave this way?
Image Source: http://www.webweaver.nu/clipart/sea1.shtml
Remember to add a drawing of your sea creature adventure story. Once everyone in the class has written their story, ask your teacher to help you make them into a book you can share with the prep students, your parents and friends.
Task Three
It is now time to investigate pollution and its effects on the sea creatures.
Image Source: http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/marine-and-coastal/marine-protected-areas/marine-reserves-a-z/te-tapuwae-o-rongokako/you-can-help/
Image Source: http://www.peopleandplanet.net/doc.php?id=411
As a whole class you are going to investigate and take notes about ocean pollution by clicking on the pictures below. Your teacher will help your class with this task.
Image Source: http://www.fishing.hourston.co.uk/about8.html
This looks dangerous...
How might this pollution affect the sea creatures?
This is toxic waste entering the waterways that lead to the ocean. Swimming in chemicals is definitely harmful to the sea creatures.
These people are trying to clean up an oil spill...
The beach and rocks are covered in black oil. What do you think might happen to the sea creatures?
Task Four
You are going to make an ocean diorama. This is a creative way you can display what you have learned, and will make an excellent item to help you teach the prep students. You will use the sea creatures you have researched, along with the facts you have learned about pollution in the ocean. You will be divided into small groups to create the diorama.
Click on the crab below for examples of what you will need to collect to create your diorama.
Image Source: http://free-clipart.net/
Task Five
Now that you have made your ocean diorama, you and your group are going to use it and technology to make a stop motion movie, with your sea creatures as the stars.
For more information about creating a stop motion movie click on the following links:
Once your movie is finished, your group will use their project to teach the Prep children a little bit about some of the creatures under the sea and why we need to protect them.
Task Six
It is now time for you and your group to create your very own lesson plan which you will use to teach the Prep students. Each group must make their own lesson plan. To do this you will need to:
1. Write an introduction telling the children what the lesson is about,
3. Make sure your lesson goes for about 10 minutes,
4. Decide how you want to present your group's lesson, for example, as a play, as a puppet show or any other interesting ways you may imagine.
After your group has finished creating your lesson plan, ask your teacher to arrange a time with the Prep teachers for you to teach the Prep children.
Remember you are teaching the children about a very important environmental issue, so you must speak clearly and use a loud enough voice so that they can hear you. It is your job to tell them about the wonderful sea creatures and how they can protect them.
Now that you have completed this quest, please

Sacramentality and Islam
Though Islam prides itself upon its freedom from sacramentalism and priesthood, in that all worshippers worship for themselves, it is evident that the salaat postures are profoundly sacramental in a general sense. Protration, in particular, proclaims and serves to actualize a totality of surrender. The face, the proudest thing in human personality, comes into contact with the dust, the lowest thing in nature. The physical thus embodies and expresses the spiritual.
Kenneth Cragg
The Call of the Minaret
By sacramentality he means that there is an outward sign for an inward grace. The notion of sacramentality is present in all of Christianity, even in anti-sacramental traditions like Baptist-ism or non-denominationalism. (Not trying to insult Baptists there by attaching the -ism.)
Baptism and Communion/Eucharist are the two main sacraments, but our churches are replete with sacramental acts. The altar call is one of the most sacramntal rites one could come up with: you approach the front of the church, the "altar", which is a place for offering sacrifices. Your inward decision to receive the grace of Christ's sacrifice and also offer yourself as a "living sacrifice" is enacted and made actual by your going to "the altar." Never mind that evangelical churches never have altars at all--they have, if much, a pulpit and maybe a communion table. (Oh yeah, and of course a huge sound system and multimedia screen :-)
But that is how it is, you can never escape sacrimentality. Muslims can't, as Cragg notes here, and Christians can't, but then again we don't need to.

All religions of the world that become structured have sacraments within them - it's that weird process of trying to explain the divine in the easiest way (ex: communion) and by actually doing something to show that interaction. I am a little in-between about sacraments (good or bad?) - all I know as humans we like symbols.
- Abu Daoud said...
I understand why certain branches of Christianity resist the impulse towards sacramentality. I mean, it can certainly engender some pretty bizarre aberations, and if we let it move us too far we can become totally disconnected from the Word as something that interracts with the mind as well as the body and spirit.
That having been said, I see more danger on the side of resisting sacramentality than accepting it. As long as there is a balance between the word as preached and the Word as received in the sacrament, both side keeep eachother honest, so to speak.
It is part of being human, like you say. We need sacraments, we need ritual. Why deny that? It does not benefit us at all.

Bad kitty: Cat bites can cause nasty infections
Three in 10 patients seeking treatment for hand bites were hospitalized, study finds
By Nathan Seppa, 14:04 PM February 10, 2014
It's enough to make you think twice about roughhousing with a cat.
When a cat bites a person's hand and the skin turns red, the wound needs prompt attention to prevent a deep-set infection that's difficult to treat, a study finds. Nearly one-third of such bites that drove people to seek medical attention required the patient to be hospitalized, and many required surgery, researchers report.
Although cat bites have vexed emergency room doctors for decades, most research has provided only anecdot...

On October 26th, at a lecture in Denver, Petraeus mistress Paula Broadwell said the following, ""I don't know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner. And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back". Why did Broadwell say that? Had Petraeus told her it was the reason for the attack? More here. If it's true, it could be the real reason for his resignation, and his failure to testify this week. Broadwell's speech was on YouTube earlier today but it has since been removed. This story produces more and more questions. That's usually what happens with a cover up.
One thought on "CIA annex used as a secret prison for jihadists? Is that the real reason Petraeus resigned?"
Broadwell didn't reveal anything in that Denver speech. The Benghazi issue was raised by someone in the audience during question time. It was rather obvious from Broadwell's answer that she was just regurgitating what she had heard and read in news reports and didn't have inside info. The item about the Libyan prisoners in the CIA annex in Benghazi is not new. It came out in news reporting in the immediate aftermath and sounded like the CIA agents had captured a couple of the attacking militiamen and had to turn these prisoners over to the so-called "friendly" militiamen before leaving for the airport and evacuation. Not only were CIA secret prisons made illegal by Obama in 2009, but anyone who would set up such a prison, legally or illegally, in a place where the host government has almost no security control would have to be nuts.

text: Ok all, here's the deal. I just recently left my full time job to work on my own in my shop. Some of ya might of seen it, I posted some pics awhile ago of it. For those of ya that didn't know I was a custom car audio installer for a shop over in Portland. Too many projects in the shop to justify working there anymore so time to move on. I've been in the business now for over 9 years and currently most of my projects at the shop are car audio related. I recently built a fiberglass subwoofer enclosure for my 05 WRX and have been posting pics of it along the way (Fiberglass Subwoofer Enclosure Part 1, 2, and 3). I've was playing around with the idea of making a mold of it so I could reproduce them when I just had, I think the only guy in town here with a STI stop by with some intrest in a enclosure like mine. Some of ya here have also hinted at wanting one. So....I'm asking all you guys if I had a enclosure that would also fit an STI would ya have any intrest in buying one. Cause of not being a vendor here (yet) and not knowing exactly how much materials and time I will have into them I can't say how much they might be, but loaded with a woofer should be cheaper than the JL Audio Stealth boxes. When I was working in Portland all I did was custom work and I have a million ideas in my head for new stuff at any moment of the day, so I know I can come up with some pretty cool subie products. Right now I am tracking down the same blue suede that's used in the STI's for some cool accent pieces. There's alot of good installers out there but most of them don't have my attention to detail and design, so the finished product would be of extremely high quality. I'll have lots of pictures so you can see what kind of work goes into them along the way. Sorry for going on and on but I quess if there's enough intrest I'll start building and become a vendor. It's got to go on the drivers side so It will stick out a bit more but shouldn't be too bad. 10's , 12's or both? Do you guys like the trim ring and what colors would ya like to see? Just pm me or post here what ya think and I'll see what I can do!! Here's a couple pics of my subie enclosure, one I just did for a Toyota Avalon, and some other enclosures.
