After a Virginia presbytery took over operations of a Mechanicsville church, those who felt led by God to depart the Presbyterian Church (USA) started anew as an Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) mission congregation just a short distance away from their former church facility.
The Church in Restoration had its inaugural service Sunday, Feb. 24 at Oak Knoll Middle School. What was expected to be a crowd of about 400 charter members swelled to more than 600 in attendance. The overflow crowd was so large that additional chairs had to be brought in to provide ample seating.
The start for the new congregation came as a result of action taken by Presbytery of the James.
An Administrative Commission (AC) of the Richmond-based Presbytery of the James (POJ) dissolved the session of New Hanover Presbyterian Church (NHPC) during a Feb. 10 meeting and has assumed original jurisdiction of the church.
During that meeting, the session of NHPC expressed its unanimous intent to leave the denomination and graciously indicated its desire to help the AC provide for the transition of members wanting to leave the church and pray for those who choose to remain. Because of the session's unwillingness to stay and serve what the AC deemed to be a viable PCUSA congregation, the Commission took action and assumed original jurisdiction.
The action by the AC came about 15 months after the session of New Hanover unanimously voted (November 2011) to seek dismissal from the Presbyterian Church (USA) to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC).
"I think we felt like this would be the result," said Associate Pastor Billy Craig, who has shared moderator duties for NHPC along with fellow Associate Pastor Jeff Lee in the absence of a full-time head pastor. "There were some vocal members of the congregation early on who wanted to stay (in the PCUSA). Our impression was they would do all they could to retain the property and to ensure the location stayed a PCUSA congregation."
While not exactly the way they had planned to leave the PCUSA, those no longer affiliated with NHPC are excited about what the future holds, even if they do not have property or buildings. That future is now coming into view with the formation of a new EPC congregation.
"We're relieved that it is finally over; it's been a pretty rough process," said Kevin Smith, a former elder at NHPC. "We're excited about starting a new church, even if it is somewhere else. We were prepared for this possibility. We're just excited to be moving forward."
He said the two main issues in seeking dismissal were the Bible being the true Word of God, and Jesus being the only way to salvation.
H. Carson Rhyne Jr., stated clerk and general presbyter for Presbytery of the James, did not respond to phone calls or emails from The Layman. In a statement printed by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Rhyne indicated the presbytery was "deeply saddened by the irreconcilable differences that have occurred at the New Hanover Presbyterian Church."
"May those who depart from the (Presbyterian Church USA) go with God's grace and blessings as they seek to serve Jesus Christ," he added.
A viable remnant
Rather than granting dismissal, the AC determined there was a viable remnant of the congregation to continue operating the church under its PCUSA affiliation, thus dissolving the session and asserting its control. That means the POJ has the property, and the viable remnant it deemed wanted to remain with the PCUSA, regardless of size, will continue to function at the Chamberlayne Road location as the "true church."
The move to block NHPC from seeking dismissal was reminiscent of action suggested in the "Louisville Papers," an internal PCUSA communication from lawyers that suggested measures that could be taken to thwart congregations from leaving the denomination.
The document, posted on The Layman web site, indicates that "if there is a schism within the membership of a particular church and the presbytery is unable to effect a reconciliation or a division into separate churches within the Presbyterian Church (USA), the presbytery shall determine if one of the factions is entitled to the property because it is identified by the presbytery as the true church." Furthermore, the document shows that the presbytery can "dissolve the congregation and use assets for 'starting a new immigrant fellowship;' enter a 'long-term lease agreement with the schismatic group;' or sell the property to the 'splinter group.'"
New Hanover, for more than a decade, has expressed concerns about the PCUSA's drift from Biblical standards. It was one of six churches in the Presbytery of the James currently seeking dismissal from the PCUSA.
NHPC has a vacancy in its head pastor's position, and moderator duties have been shared by Craig and Lee. During a presbytery meeting on Feb. 16, those pastoral relationships between Craig, Lee and the church were dissolved, and the credentials of both pastors were transferred to the EPC.
Enter the Administrative Commission
The Administrative Commission formed by Presbytery of the James – comprised of Edna Banes, Larry Diebold, Alex Evans, Allen Fisher, Don Osborne and Martha Sindahlesen – penned a letter that was sent to members of NHPC. The letter makes note that the Commission has worked with the church since December 2012, meeting with the session, individual ministers and members who want to remain with the PCUSA.
In the letter, the AC acknowledges that many members of the church of about 800, have shown a strong desire to seek dismissal. It goes on to show that the AC has determined that a viable PCUSA congregation remains at NHPC.
"We are confident that these devoted members who are willing and interested to continue as New Hanover Presbyterian Church, with the support of the presbytery, and the power of God's spirit, can continue to be a faithful witness to Jesus Christ in the PCUSA in this location for the foreseeable future," it reads.
The letter sent to NHPC's membership indicated the Feb. 10 meeting was a result of the session's and associate pastors' intention to depart from the PCUSA.
Craig said the AC was formed for the purpose of determining if there was a viable congregation left at NHPC. He added that church leaders and individuals sought, but were not provided, a definition from the presbytery to explain exactly what determines a viable congregation.
Staying or leaving
The AC plans to appoint a Steering Committee to lead the church in day-to-day operations until new leadership is in place. The presbytery will provide supply pastors until a new session is formed and takes care of hiring staff members.
The letter also addresses those members choosing to depart and those staying in the PCUSA.
"During this period of transition, members wishing to be dismissed can let the Steering Committee know that is their desire, and the Steering Committee will remove those members from the church rolls. We hope to make a quick orderly transition of members wishing to leave.
"We understand that this time is a traumatic and frustrating time for all involved, and the AC hopes that those who wish to leave NHPC for a new denomination find joy, comfort and peace in their decision. We know that the leadership of those who are leaving is capable and truly concerned for your spirit. We know that they are faithful to your spiritual growth and building a church separate from the PCUSA. We will continue to pray for them as they make the transition.
"For the members who will be staying with NHPC, the POJ is committed to helping you to grow the church and be part of a connected church that is part of the PCUSA … ."
Is anyone listening?
A straw poll to leave the denomination was forthcoming for NHPC, but the presbytery blocked that action by forming a Listening Team that sent a letter warning against having any meetings or discussions regarding dismissal or a possible new denominational home, effectively cutting off communication from church leadership for 10 months. A portion of the letter read, "… the Listening Team has the authority to recommend to the Committee on Ministry that the NHPC Session be dissolved and that it be replaced with an Administrative Commission appointed by the Presbytery of the James."
According to information obtained by The Layman, the Listening Team's 2012 report indicated that presbytery members held at least one meeting with a group of congregants at another location. Soon after, members of the group formed a web site and Facebook page, and began circulating letters that expressed disagreement with the leadership of the church.
The Listening Team recommended the Administrative Commission be formed to determine the viability of a PCUSA congregation at NHPC, thus leading to the eventual fracture of the congregation.
An unofficial online survey, conducted by members of the congregation independent of the NHPC session and the Administrative Commission, was taken. The question asked was "Shall New Hanover Presbyterian Church (NHPC) request that Presbytery of the James dismiss NHPC from the PCUSA to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC)?" The results were 220 in favor of dismissal and just six opposed.
Craig said the entire brutal process has been draining and very hurtful for all parties involved.
"I think it's hurt everybody, no matter which side you are on," he said. "I think our members care for each other, but the way this process has unfolded has driven wedges between our members along the way.
"It's not been a very Christ-honoring process."
Starting over
Smith and Craig indicated that those leaving New Hanover will become part of the EPC now that all ties with the POJ and PCUSA are severed. The EPC's Presbytery of the Mid-Atlantic has welcomed the Church in Restoration as a mission church of the EPC.
The packed facility on the school campus, dotted with cars parked in the lot and on the lawn areas, was a stark contrast to the sparse attendance at New Hanover on Sunday.
But even that may have been by God's design, given the way He intervened to help Church in Restoration find a place of worship.
The school entered the picture as a temporary home for the church and will house the congregation's meetings for the time being. The church offers a youth program each year called Disciple Now, and the registration numbers were so great this year that an alternate site was needed to accommodate the turnout. With that in mind, officials reserved space at Oak Knoll. Now, they will use the facility for worship services as well.
"God's timing is amazing," Smith said. "We're excited about what God has in store for us. We can put the politics of Presbyterianism behind us and focus on ministry from here on out.
"Even though this has been a hard process, painful in many ways, God has produced fruit through it."
Craig added that God's faithfulness has allowed those left without their church and property to persevere and carry on in His service.
"From the get-go we have been trusting in God's faithfulness and promise," Craig said. "He's never let us down. We're trusting Him to lead and guide, and I have no doubt He will continue to be with us in this process. We continue to see His faithfulness, and we're encouraged by that. We're still praising Him – in the good times and the bad."

[display_podcast] When I hear the word, "idol", I think of the Israelites worshipping a golden calf in the desert while Moses was away on a mountain.

Halifax Regional Municipality's Metro Transit has recently taken delivery of nine clean-diesel Nova LFS. The order also includes options on additional vehicles.
Metro Transit is expanding its MetroX commuter service and sought to purchase buses with strong curb appeal. With advanced design features including flush-mounted windows, all LED lighting options and branded bus wraps, these new Nova LFS will stand out from the regular Metro Transit fleet.
According to Gilles Dion, President and CEO of Nova Bus, "aesthetic concerns play an increasingly important role in developing branded transit services and attracting riders. Our engineers are attuned to these needs and design vehicles that combine productivity, comfort and curb appeal."
The order comes after the successful delivery in 2010 of 25 LFS Artic articulated buses to Metro Transit, who appreciated the accompanying level of service and support. Another key element in choosing to pursue their partnership with Nova Bus was the high degree of commonality between the 40-foot Nova LFS and the LFS Artic, since it translates into effective maintenance, streamlined training and simplified parts management, providing quality performance and productivity.

Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.
Matt did a brilliant job repointing two walls of our house at a competitive price. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.

- Logan Myler I was wondering about localization of the interaction between these two proteins. Parkin is a primarily mitochondrial protein, PCNA has been implicated to move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for some of its functions, and DNA repair occurs in the nucleus. Because they said that Parkin does not ubiquitinate PCNA, can you speculate on the function of the interaction between the two and in what compartment this interaction might be localized?

Monkey Mind
A Memoir of Anxiety
Daniel Smith
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Daniel Smith's Monkey Mind is the stunning articulation of what it is like to live with anxiety. As he travels through anxiety's demonic layers, Smith defangs the disorder with great humor and evocatively expresses its self-destructive absurdities and painful internal coherence. Aaron Beck, the most influential doctor in modern psychotherapy, says that "Monkey Mind does for anxiety what William Styron's Darkness Visible did for depression." Neurologist and bestselling writer Oliver Sacks says, "I read Monkey Mind with admiration for its bravery and clarity….I broke out into explosive laughter again and again." Here, finally, comes relief and recognition to all those who want someone to put what they feel, or what their loved ones feel, into words.

Never have I been able to relate so perfectly to another's description of their journey with anxiety. It made me laugh, it gave me hope. I'm not crazy :)
Monkey Mind
Happy it's over and one one died
Give it go
It was, at times, more factual about the cause/symptom/treatment of anxiety that it became dry and taxing to reading... But generally, I enjoyed his personal account of living with anxiety. At times in the book you felt such great empathy for the writer and others were a laugh, as I could relate to particular symptoms of anxiety. It was deeply personal, triumphantly honest and I believe very helpful to those treading the turbulent waters of anxiety.
Although not on top of my favorites, because I expected less facts and more humor, I think the book is worth a go.

|I recently moved to Philadelphia and went to Haycock for the first time on Sunday. I was amazed at the quality of the rock, the sheer number of problems and the possibilities for endless bouldering circuits. I have but one thing to ask: would any local climbers please, please shed some light on this wonderful area? Even the simplest of topos, photos, descriptions or links to other extant guides would be tremendously appreciated.

Hey Lars, I agree Haycock is a quality climbing spot. I'm slowly collecting and putting together content for Mountain Project - hopefully others will contribute content for this too.
Rob Holzman's PA climbing guidebook is one of my sources for this (included in the guidebooks section if you navigate to Pennsylvania here on MP). There's one section free online here: www.paclimbing.com/haycock_page.htm .
rockclimbing.com has some coverage of Haycock too.

|Thanks for posting about the new guidebook. I actually happened to stumble upon these posts when trying to search for directions to Hobo and I am SO happy to learn about the new guidebook. I can't even begin to count the number of times that I got lost on Top Rock side of the mountain when trying to find the trail/problems! Just pre-ordered the book and looking forward to spending more time working problems instead of trekking through the woods!

Does anyone know if you can camp in the park? If not are there any recommendations for climber camping in the area?
I am heading out there this weekend from RI looking for something new and definitely want to camp but don't want to pay 37 dollars a night. Bringing my one year old and dog. Should be a good time. If anyone wants to show us around that'd be radical. I am going to buy the guide at the Doylestown Gym for sure as well.

Josh - I'm not the most knowledgeable on haycock - but things we probably be pretty overgrown, and with the heat & humidity, the climbing might be greasy. I think i went in the summer a few years ago and the caves trail was practically gone. It's tough to follow when the foliage isn't in. If you've never been and do go, i would start at the hanger 18 area.
If it doesn't work out for you, Ralph Stover / High Rocks is just down the road too, with easy top-rope setups, but that place is an oven on a sunny summer day. The redeeming factor there is you can go swim in the river.

I have never seen any recommended restrictions other than 2 items:
1) Dealer and owners manual will tell you to keep below 4500 rpm for the first 1200 miles. If you have 8-speed auto, and don't punch down, then it should never get that high. But if you do by mistake, I wouldn't worry much.
2) Also, try not to stay in the same gear the whole time on the highway. Vary the gearing around a bit. My guess is you'll be enjoying the accelerations, so it should be fine. Just try not to rev it up too high for first 1200 miles.

These staff working at Oxfordshire hospitals are making a massive difference to the lives of their patients and their efforts have been recognised at a special ceremony. Freddie Whittaker reports
DEDICATION and lifelong service were recognised as Oxfordshire's Hospital Heroes were honoured at an awards ceremony at Blenheim Palace.
Two awards, sponsored by the Oxford Mail, were presented to nurse Rowena Pearce and the Ward 5F team from the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
The presentations were made as part of the Oxford University Hospitals Trust annual staff recognition awards, where the hard work of staff from across the trust's four hospitals, and other sites, was recognised.
Rowena Pearce, a nurse who has dedicated most of her 30 years' service in the NHS to working with children with disabilities, Down's Syndrome in particular, won the individual Hospital Hero award.
Mum-of-two Mrs Pearce, 53, was nominated by three mums who she helped through the uncertainty of having a child born with Down's Syndrome.
She said: "It's a humbling experience. Nurses don't go around getting recognised. It's not something we aspire to.
- Sir Jonathan Michael applauds all the dedicated and hard working staff at the OUH
"Our aspirations are more to do with making sure patients are OK.
"I cannot even begin to explain the rewards of doing my job. My families are all so inspiring – the way they cope with the things they have to go through very early on in their children's lives.
"Coming to terms with having a baby with Down's Syndrome, and then having to come to terms with the fact that your child has to have life-changing surgery, is quite a thing."
- Nearly 250 guests attended the ceremony
Mrs Pearce said attitudes to Down's Syndrome and other disabilities have changed in recent years, and children born with complications were seen as having a much better chance of having a normal life. She added: "We do not consider Down's Syndrome to be a terrible thing any more.
"Some adults you see dealing with it now did not have the same intervention as we can provide now.
"Most of them can live semi-independent lives and some end up learning to drive and hold down a couple of part-time jobs.
"Even 30 to 40 years ago, if a child born with Down's Syndrome had a heart condition, the condition would not be treated and they would just be left to die."
Maxine Hartnett was tearful when the team from the John Radcliffe's ward 5F won the team award.
The 47-year-old from Blackbird Leys nominated the team because of their dedication to her when she suffered from liver disease.
- Maxine Hartnett, front, with the entire staff of Truelove Ward 5F
Mrs Hartnett was diagnosed with primary biliary cirrhosis, probably caused by a virus, in 1998.
She said she was at "death's door" when staff on ward 5F managed to get her well enough to have her second liver transplant.
Mrs Hartnett said: "I had a little tear in my eye, and so did my husband.
"They treat their patients so well. They treated me like one of the family and they don't get recognised for the work they do."
At the awards ceremony, on behalf of the team, senior ward housekeeper Annie Cousins and ward sister Susie Swann said they were delighted by the award.
- Peter and Maxine Hartnett, left, nominated Ward 5F, with Susie Swann, and Annie Cousins
Ms Cousins said: "We just don't believe it. It is good for everyone on the ward but good for the patients too."
Ms Swann added: "We had been saying we are not lucky people. We do not normally win things. We called my deputy on the ward and told her and she was so excited."

I have a pretty serious auto-immune disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis. Basically, it causes spinal fusion. It is also a systemic disease, meaning it can affect tissues throughout the body, not just the spine. Accordingly, it can cause inflammation in and injury to other joints away from the spine manifest as arthritis, as well as to other organs, such as the eyes, heart, lungs, and kidneys. I am on some pretty serious medications for this disease.
I've always been extremely self-conscious of my stomach that is out of proportion to the rest of my body. My ex-husband even told me I looked pregnant while having an orgasm. yep.
I've always wanted a TT but never really investigated it. In the last few months, I've met several women that have had them and would do it again in a heartbeat. So, I bit the bullet and saw two surgeons that did friends.
I liked them both, but each had a distinct difference.
Surgeon A: Very highly rated and good. My friend said he was an artist. My concerns with this doctor is he looks at it as an artist. He wanted to do a breast lift along with the TT. He said I was not a candidate for an implant due to extremely dense and conical breasts. I did consider that even thought I do not want my nipples cut. He didn't discuss my medicatons or how my disease might cause problems. Procedure would be done in his operating room at his office, which is certified. I would be transferred to a recovery center for one night.
Surgeon B: Again very highly rated and good. Both doctors agreed about implants and how dense my breasts are. B said he absolutely would NOT do a lift at the same time as the TT. He said that as tight as my stomach is with no loose skin, etc that pulling down for the TT would affect the lift. He also spent a lot of time talking about my medical issues and medications. Procedure would be done at a well known breast cancer hospital with 2 nights in the hospital.
I decided on Surgeon B. I know that A is an excellent surgeon but I felt B looked at it more medically than artistically. I believe 2 nights in the hospital is better as well.
I'm nervously excited!

So earlier today we reported that Warner Brothers had greenlit a redux of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The most frightening part of the announcement? No Joss Whedon. How in the world could it happen without him?
Over on E! Online journalist Kristin Dos Santos wrote Joss to get his reaction. A response came via e-mail and it's not exactly pretty.
"Kristin, I'm glad you asked for my thoughts on the announcement of Buffy the cinema film. This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youths—just because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself.
Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more?
I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you.
Leave me to my pain! Sincerely, Joss Whedon."
Feel that, fans? It's called wrongfully getting stung. Feh.

Houston TX (SPX) Nov 27, 2013
Though you can read about the many benefits originating from International Space Station research and technology, in NASA's new video feature "Benefits for Humanity: In Their Own Words," it is now easy to see those benefits as well.
The space station provides a microgravity environment for researchers to conduct multidisciplinary investigations, for educators to inspire next generation scientists and engineers, and to serve as a stepping stone to future exploration that was not possible just 15 years ago.
Considered one of the greatest technological, geopolitical and engineering achievements in history, the space station is a collaborative effort between 16 nations. More than 69 countries have participated in research and educational activities on the orbiting laboratory that advances our fundamental scientific knowledge, supports the exploration of space beyond low Earth orbit and provides a multitude of benefits to humans on Earth.
A few examples of the benefits provided by research performed on the space station are highlighted in "Benefits for Humanity: In Their Own Words," including: neurosurgical medical technology in Canada; water purification technology in rural Mexico; agricultural monitoring in the northern Great Plains of the United States; student amateur radio interaction with the space station in the Midwest United States; and, remote telemedicine in rural Brazil.
Making waves in neurosurgery, the neuroArm was adapted from the Canadian Space Agency's Canadarm, Canadarm2 and the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator (Dextre). These robots helped to build and maintain the space station and provide heavy-lifting and spacecraft berthing capabilities.
The first patient to benefit from the neuroArm technology, Paige Nickason, has neurofribromatosis, a medical condition that caused a complex tumor to grow underneath the front part of her brain. This condition gave her intense pain and nearly confined her to bed rest full-time.
Dr. Garnette Sutherland, a neurosurgeon and professor at the University of Calgary in Canada, approached space robot engineers and scientists at MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates, Ltd., with an idea to bring the technology of space down to Earth.
"If they could build complex robots, perhaps in collaboration with medicine, we could build a robot that could operate inside an MRI machine," explained Sutherland. The result was neuroArm, an instrument that operates inside a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to show detailed brain images while operating on the brain with the precision and accuracy of a neurosurgeon.
According to Sutherland, neuroArm operates at a level of precision "that is overwhelmingly superior to what the best surgeon may be able to do." A grateful, healthy Nickason remarked, "I'm glad that it helped people who have my disease, and I hope it helps people who need surgery in the future."
Saving lives does not have to be as complex as robotic surgery, but can be as simple as providing the life-giving source of clean water. This specifically is of utmost importance to a community in rural Mexico, showing the far-reaching benefits of the water purification component of NASA's Environmental and Life Control Support System (ECLSS).
ECLSS provides clean water for drinking, cooking and hygiene aboard the space station. This technology has been adapted on Earth to aid remote locations or places devastated by natural disaster that do not have access to clean drinking water.
In Chiapas, Mexico, many people are at risk of illness from drinking contaminated water from wells, rivers or springs not treated by municipal water systems. Children in Chiapas, previously sickened by parasites and stomach bugs, now have access during school to clean, safe drinking water. This is due to the installation of the ECLSS-derived water purification plant.
Renewable solar energy powers the water treatment technology for the community in Chiapas. Results include improved overall health and cost-savings from not having to buy purified water or medication to treat water-borne illnesses.
"If we could put one of these plants in every community and have people use it, it would resolve one of the most important sources of health problems, at least in the rural areas of Mexico," said Eduardo Ballinas, president of Sinergia Sistemas, the organization that provides safe drinking water in Chiapas.
Benefits of space station research stretch from a small town in Mexico to the wide open spaces of farmland in Crookston, Minn. There, A.W.G. Farms Inc. is leveraging images from the International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC) to grow sugar beets, spring wheat, sunflowers and soybeans. The Upper Midwest Aerospace Consortium, led by the University of North Dakota, operates ISSAC from Earth to help farmers like Gary Wagner monitor crop growth for disease or fertility differences.
ISSAC, unaffected by cloud cover, captures frequent images of the Earth in visible and infrared light, which are necessary for relaying information on biomass. Biomass images provide data on crop growth, and more biomass means more crop yield potential.
Delivering these images to farmers more rapidly than previous remote sensing technology, Wagner called ISSAC a "tool we can use as a reference to be able to make better decisions and by doing that, our farm is more profitable, and that to me is very important."
Images are not the only space-to-ground communications happening between the orbiting station and people on Earth. Calling up the space station and talking to the astronauts living and working there can be a life-changing event for a young student.
Austin Walker grew up in Rantoul, Ill., a rural setting with limited support for science and technology educational activities. Participating in Space Jam, a technology-oriented gathering for Boy and Girl Scouts, Walker discovered NASA's Amateur Radio International Space Station (ARISS) capability and was inspired to pursue a career in science and technology after speaking directly to the space station.
ARISS provides the opportunity for teachers, students, and the general public to interact with the space station through the use of amateur radio. This direct communication can motivate students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
"This is amazing," exclaimed Walker about his first Space Jam experience of establishing contact with the space station. His experience sparked an enthusiasm for the sciences. Walker has since graduated from Princeton University and is now a software engineer in San Francisco.
Students are not the only people inspired by space station interactions. Space station technology also led to a doctor/researcher collaboration spinoff in the area of remote telemedicine. Use of this capability in the large state of Minas Gerais in Brazil is saving lives of those in very isolated communities. Ultrasound technology adapted from the space station helps with prenatal care and diagnostic capacity where patients and doctors are separated by a great distance.
Just as on Earth as in space, trained medical personnel are not always immediately available. NASA's Advanced Diagnostic Ultrasound in Microgravity (ADUM) investigation trained astronauts and cosmonauts to use an ultrasound unit and transmit images in real time back to Earth.
These images could then be sent to physicians to make medical decisions without actually being with the crew member. This technology can provide more detail during examination of a patient in a remote area and help in administering first aid, where quick decisions are necessary.
In the small, extremely isolated town of Manga in Minas Gerais, many people rely on this ultrasound technology to help solve medical problems due to lack of access to other types of care.
Joaquim de Diniz, a Manga physician, related the story of a female patient who had a mere 20 to 30 minutes to live due to severe respiratory failure. Using the remote ultrasound equipment, he and his team of medical professionals were able to determine the problem and treat a large amount of fluid around the patient's heart and lungs. The patient quickly recovered.
"It was like a miracle," said de Diniz. "She was dying in front of us, without people knowing what was happening. This ultrasound was instrumental in saving the life of that patient."
These are but a few of the many examples of the impact of space station research on the lives of the people on Earth. With its 15-year anniversary in 2013 and continued operations until at least 2020, and likely beyond, there are many more benefits to look forward to from space station research.
The space station has the potential to improve and change lives on Earth with each investigation and technology test that takes place in orbit. With collaboration from the original international partnerships to the insights of inventors and integrators of the research and technology on the ground, we can anticipate continued space station benefits for humanity.

At its December meeting, Pierce County Library System's Board of Trustees adopted the library's 2013 operating budget of $25,423,927 and $1,632,000 for capital improvements. The budget addresses a $3 million budget shortfall, approximately 11 percent of the Library's 2012 budget.
"We made difficult decisions again this year, keeping in mind accountability to taxpayers and maintenance of core services," said Linda Ishem, chair of the Library's Board of Trustees. "Our libraries continue to be very busy—with an all-time high number of card holders. We made reductions in areas we anticipate will have the least detrimental impact on the hundreds of thousands of children and adults who rely on Pierce County Library."
2013 marks the fourth year that the economic downturn is showing an impact on the budget, due mainly from reduced revenue from property taxes, which is nearly 97 percent of the Library's funding source. From 2010-2013, the library's budget has been reduced by a total of $6.4 million.
The primary steps to address the 2013 shortfall include: • Reduced books and materials budget. • Eliminated bookmobile service. • Transferred less money from operating budget to capital budget. • Adjusted payments for health care and retirement costs. • Used money from cash reserves/savings.
In mid-November the Library stopped running its 65-year-old bookmobile service, which was aging and costly. In 2013, the library system will continue to serve children in schools in low-income areas that most recently checked out books and movies from the bookmobile. Also, for 2013 staff further sharpened its books and materials buying decisions, which means offering fewer items for people to checkout. To help address the budget shortfall, the Library decreased its books and materials budget by $1 million, which is a 25 percent reduction from 2012.

This has been discussed many a time. Why is Madara trying to keep Sasuke instead of killing him, if he knows Sasuke may want to kill him?
The answer, with proof: he wants to get Sasuke's eyes once they are strong enough according to Madara's standars.
Why do I say so? Because the manga states that in order to obtain EMS (Eternal M. Sharingan) exchanging eyes can be done between clansmen, not only between brothers.
Check the middle of the page:
If anyone has another part of the manga contradicting this, please post!

Science & Technology
Can we erase memories for therapeutic benefits?
If we could functionally erase a memory to make someone's life better would that be acceptable? What if the memory was of a trauma that has incapacitated someone for decades? Why do we need memories if they keep us down?
In a very playful manner, Dr. Karim Nader addresses some of the science that is at the heart of memory research today. The science suggests that memories can be functionally erased, a concept which was taken and expanded to the point of fiction in the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Jason Isaacs Joins Rosemary's Baby
Alongside Patrick J. Adams
Keen to get the miniseries on the air this year, US network NBC is wasting no time in finding a cast for Rosemary's Baby. With Zoe Saldana already attached to star, Suits' Patrick J. Adams and character stalwart Jason Isaacs have also come aboard.
Adams is set as Guy, the husband to Saldana's Rosemary Woodehouse. The pair move into a Paris apartment that comes complete with charming features and a decidedly dark past. When Rosemary finally gets pregnant, she slowly becomes convinced that her neighbours – and her husband – have disturbing plans for the child.
Isaacs is taking on the role of Roman Castevet (played in the 1967 Roman Polanski film by Sidney Blackmer), the warlock leader of a coven who, unsurprisingly given that he leads a coven, is more than just your average friendly neighbour.
Agnieska Holland is handling directorial chores, working from a new adaptation of Ira Levin's novel. Both new casting hires represent the NBC Universal company finding talent from within, since Suits airs on sister channel USA and Isaacs has a production deal with NBC and last worked for it on psychological cop drama Awake. Holland will be setting the cameras in motion shortly in France.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/6/2014 (1120 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Tonight, grab a rain jacket or umbrella. Showers and thunderstorms are expected, with rainfall amounts anywhere between 10 to 30 millimetres. Tonight's low is 17 C.

If you're traveling to Singapore anytime soon, don't leave the country without dropping by the new Sands SkyPark at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore's newest luxury resort hotel. The SkyPark was formally launched just last month and floats on top of the three Marina Bay Sands hotel towers, 200 meters in the sky.
Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the SkyPark is shaped like a boat and has 12,400 square meters of space. That's longer than the Eiffel Tower laid down on four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets!
Just to illustrate how large the Sands SkyPark is, here is a view of my hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, from the observation deck.
And here is a view of Sands SkyPark from my hotel room! I didn't need to use a zoom to take this photo – the structure really is that visible.
The SkyPark's gravity-defying cantilever can hold up to 3,900 people on its observation deck, allowing hotel guests and visitors a stunning panoramic view of the city.
Besides the breathtaking view of Singapore, the Sands SkyPark also has idyllic landscaped gardens that house 650 types of plants and 250 types of trees. A sparkling infinity pool lines the span of the three towers, allowing guests to admire the cityscape while they soak in the pool's cool waters.
Tickets to the Observation Deck must be purchased at the Box Office in the Hotel Lobby, Tower 3. For more information visit the Sands SkyPark website.

Maurice Sendak
Daily Forecast for July 25th 2017
Maurice Sendak is a male celebrity.
He was born on Sunday June 10th 1928, in Brooklyn, New York, USA,.
July 25th 2017 brings an important opportunity to Maurice Sendak. Today is a good day for planning, which Maurice is well capable of while keeping a down to earth approach.
Someone may be exaggerating today, perhaps even lying, so Maurice better be skeptical, yet - he must avoid emotional confrontations.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of July and the master plan of 2017 in Maurice's life.
You and Maurice
About Maurice's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Maurice Sendak evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Maurice to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

- August 2008 > Wellness Wise
A recent government study showed that more than half of all Americans do not receive many of the important preventive services they needthat is, immunizations, screening tests for early detection of disease, and education about healthy habits and injury prevention. Why not?
How about that annual physical?
It used to seem simple: people were advised to undergo a standardized annual or biannual "complete physical." But in the 1980s, at the request of the government, an independent committee of physicians known as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reviewed all evidence and evaluated the benefits and drawbacks of common screening tests and came up with recommendations. (A similar group, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, does the same work in Canada.) That head-to-toe physical exam has now been discarded for seemingly healthy people, since it yields too few benefits for its cost. Over the long run, it doesn't pay off in terms of better health and longer life.
Some tests that used to be routinely done, such as chest X-rays, electrocardiograms (EKGs), urine tests, and complete blood counts, are now reserved for people with symptoms or risk factors. In other words, they are not general "screening" tests and are not done routinely in everyone (and as such are not covered in this article).
The U.S. and Canadian Task Forces continue to update and re-evaluate their advice, reviewing thousands of studies every year and consulting hundreds of scientific reviewers.
Blood pressure measurement (to detect hypertension)
Who needs: All adults.
How often: Once every 2 years for those with normal blood pressure.
Comments: More frequent monitoring for those with readings of greater than 130/85 or higherconsult your doctor.
Cholesterol measurement
Who needs: All adults.
How often: Once every 5 years. More often if total or LDL ("bad") cholesterol is high, HDL ("good") is low, and/or you have risk factors.
Comments: Those at high risk for heart disease need medical advice about life-style changes and possibly drug therapyconsult your doctor.
Pap smear (for early detection of cervical cancer)
Who needs: All women with a cervix, starting at age 18, or earlier if sexually active.
How often: If 3 annual tests are normal, then once every 3 years. More often if you smoke or have multiple sex partners or other risk factors.
Comments: Some experts advise that woman who have never had an abnormal result can stop being screened after age 65consult your doctor.
Breast cancer screening (mammography)
Who needs: All women 50 and over; those 40-49 should discuss risk factors with a doctor.
How often: Annually. Medicare reimburses for it.
Comments: Clinical breast exams are also importantconsult your doctor.
Colonoscopy screening (fecal occult blood test, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy)
Who needs: Everyone 50 and over; earlier for those at high risk.
How often: Occult blood test annually; sigmoidoscopy every 5 years or colonoscopy every 10 years.
Comments: Digital rectal exam and X-ray with barium enema may also be done. Medicare now pays for colonoscopyconsult your doctor.
Prostate cancer screening (prostate specific antigen, or PSA, test; and digital rectal exam, or DRE)
Who needs: African Americans and men with family history, DRE and PSA starting at age 40. For others, DRE, and possibly PSA, starting at 50.
How often: DRE annually; PSA on professional advice.
Comments: Usefulness of PSA screening for all men remains controversialconsult your doctor.
Diabetes screening (fasting blood glucose test)
Who needs: Everyone 45 and older; earlier for those at high risk.
How often: Every 3 years.
Comments: African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, obese people, and those with a strong family history need more frequent screening, starting at age 30—consult your doctor.
Thyroid disease screening
Who needs: Women 50 and over; those with high cholesterol or family history of thyroid disease.
How often: On professional advice.
Comments: Routine screening remains controversial. Talk to your doctor about risk factors.
Chlamydia screening
Who needs: Women 25 and younger, if sexually active.
How often: Annually, or more often.
Comments: Men and women of any age who are at risk for STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV) should be testedconsult your doctor.
Glaucoma screening
Who needs: People at high risk: those over 65, very nearsighted, or diabetic; blacks over 40; those with sleep apnea or family history of glaucoma.
How often: On professional advice of eye specialist.
Comments: Many eye specialists advise screening all adults every 3-5 years, starting at age 39consult your doctor.
Dental checkup
Who needs: All adults.
How often: Every 6 months, or on professional advice.
Comments: Should include cleaning and exam for oral cancerconsult your doctor.
Tetanus/diphtheria booster
Who needs: All adults.
How often: Every 10 years.
Comments: People over 50 are least likely to be adequately immunizedconsult your doctor.
Influenza vaccine
Who needs: Everyone 50 and over, people with lung or heart disease or cancer, and others at high risk.
How often: Annually, in autumn.
Comments: Even healthy younger adults can benefit and should consider getting the shotconsult your doctor.
Pneumococcal vaccine

Rubella vaccine

How often: Once.
Comments: Avoid during pregnancyconsult your doctor.
Hepatitis B vaccine
Who needs: All young adults, as well as adults at high risk.
How often: On professional advice.

Chickenpox vaccine
Who needs: Anyone who has never had chickenpox.
How often: Once. But above age 13 it requires two shots.
Comments: Not recommended for pregnant women or those with compromised immunityconsult your doctor.

TAMPA — For 31/2 quarters Thursday, Plant had its way with Clearwater.
Every time Clearwater managed to inch closer, Plant was able to scoot away. But when it counted the most, not only were the Tornadoes able to inch closer, they got past the Panthers.
Clearwater's Emma Loucks made a layup with 30 seconds left and Plant missed out on a last-second shot as the Tornadoes held on for a 50-49 win in the championship game of the Jaguar Holiday Tournament.
"The kids just hung tough," said Clearwater coach Tom Shaneyfelt. "We encouraged them to hang in there. We've rallied before so they knew they were in the game."
After the Panthers jumped out to an eight-point first-quarter lead, Clearwater managed to scrap just enough to hang in the game. Plant keyed on Clearwater's Loucks and Tyra Bolden but after the Panthers' seven-point lead vanished in the second half, it was Tornadoes freshman Alex Alford who made the biggest impact.
Alford scored 17 of her game-high 23 in the second quarter as Clearwater rallied.
With 4:50 remaining and Plant clinging to a 47-43 lead, Clearwater made its move — outscoring the Panthers 7-2 the rest of way, including a key 3-pointer from Alford.
Once Clearwater took the lead on a Loucks layup, Plant had a last possession but couldn't get a shot off before the buzzer.
"Clearwater is an excellent team," said Plant coach Carrie Mahon. "They were able to exploit us some defensively. We gave it a good effort but didn't do enough."

A final goodbye to Mindy McCready
Listen to Mindy McCready on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - The world can finally put to rest Mindy McCready, whose short and troubled--but often exhilarating --life was celebrated Wednesday by friends, fellow musicians, and family in Nashville.
A memorial was held at Music City's Cathedral of the Incarnation at 4 p.m., just a little over a week after the singer's official funeral in her hometown of Ft. Myers, Fla. Her musical colleages Bryan White, Lorrie Morgan and Bekka Bramlett sang at the gathering, which was attended by many close to her prior to her tragic suicide that took place in February.
According to E!, the service featured a flower-filled room and portraits of McCready, as well as a heartfelt opening tribute from her longtime friend Kat Atwood, who told the crowd, "Mindy was both invincible and vulnerable. With all that was laid before her in such little time, I know I could not have walked in her shoes...Music was her life, her therapy, her victory, her escape and her tragedy."
Morgan--a former labelmate--sang "Ave Maria" and spoke of their friendship back in the '90s, when McCready was establishing her music career, and the two had fun at various label events.
Morgan noted that McCready always had carried sadness in her eyes. "There's a special place for her star above, and it will always be there and it will never burn out," she concluded.

2014 Loyola Volleyball Schedule
BALTIMORE - Loyola University Maryland volleyball will host the third-annual Greyhound Challenge in early September as part of a 12-match home schedule during the 2014 season, Head Coach Jake Lawrence announced.
All dates are subject to change, and fans can visit LoyolaGreyhounds.com for the most up-to-date information on matches.
"I'm excited for our 2014 schedule. I think we have a great mix of opponents, including a tough matchup against our first SEC opponent since 2006," Lawrence said. "The Patriot League had three teams in the top 100 of the RPI last year, and American made the Round of 16. We're growing as a league, and with a very young squad this year, our schedule needs to be good preparation. We are fired up about hosting our third-annual Greyhound Challenge, and we look forward to welcoming Dartmouth, Quinnipiac, and Saint Francis to Reitz Arena."
After opening its season at the La Salle Invitational Aug. 29-30 against teams from Coppin State University, NJIT and the host Explorers, Loyola will take on Quinnipiac University, Dartmouth College and St. Francis (Pennsylvania) University when it welcomes those teams to Reitz Arena Sept. 5-6 for the Greyhound Challenge.
Howard University is one of two non-tournament non-conference matches the Greyhounds will play in 2014. Loyola hosts the Bison Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Loyola then journeys to the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, area for the Costal Carolina Tournament Sept. 12-13, where it will face the host Chanticleers, Kennesaw State University and the University of Tennessee.
The Greyhounds play in their final regular-season tournament of the year, Sept. 19-20, at St. Francis. The Red Flash Classic will feature Loyola, the host school, George Mason University and Morgan State University.
