Two Rivers Printmaking Studio 2011 Portfolio Exhibition
PLYMOUTH, N.H.—The Library Print Series at Plymouth State University's Lamson Learning Commons will present Two Rivers Printmaking Studio's 2011 portfolio of works by 26 artist members and faculty from Vermont and New Hampshire, February 1–May 4 at the Highland Street facility.
Each artist has contributed a limited edition of 37 prints and six artist's proofs covering a wide range of old and new techniques to the portfolio. This 10th anniversary studio exhibition continues Two River's desire "to build interest in the art and history of prints through classes, exhibitions and lectures by artists, curators and collectors."
Two Rivers Printmaking Studio is a nonprofit teaching and learning workspace in White River Junction, Vermont, that is run cooperatively by a group of member artists.
Exhibitors in the show are: Jennifer Anderson, Lynne Barton, Lois Beatty, Harry Bernard, Susan Airris Berry, Amparo Carvajal-Hufschmid, Patty Castellini, Betsy Garand, Daniel Gottsegen, Rachel Gross, Louise Hamlin and Sheri Hancoco-Tomek.

Randall Terry Strikes Again!
Randall Terry is at it again. The anti-abortion extremist has indulged in racist street theater directed at the President and his interview with Archbishop Raymond Burke last year raised eyebrows before eliciting a semi-apology from Burke for his criticism of brother bishops. Now, he is planning to participate in a training session held at the John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C. the weekend after the March for Life according to a report at Alternet.org [1]. A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Washington said that the event was being organized not by Terry but by Missy Smith, who is affiliated with Insurrecta Nex, the renamed version of Terry's Operation Rescue.
Terry is more than a nuisance. He undermines the credibility of the pro-life movement. In one video he released, he brings the body of an aborted fetus in front of the cameras, reducing a human tragedy to the status of a prop, exploiting the dignity of human life that he purports to champion.
Last year, conservatives, especially extreme pro-life conservatives, cited the USCCB document on "Catholics in Political Life" which said that Church facilities should not be used to host or promote those whose values are antithetical to the Church. Terry's brand of hatefulness surely meets the criteria. He should not be permitted to use any church facilities, least of all one so prominent as the John Paul II Cultural Center. So far, no one from the John Paul II Center has returned a call asking for clarification.

Every year with fall's arrival comes the traditional apple picking, cider doughnuts, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, crunchy leaves, and— of course— football. During the autumn I can't help but be reminded of Friday nights spent in the student section at my old high school, cheering on the Unionville Indians (how is that name even PC anymore?!). I like to think that should I ever return for a Homecoming game, I'll be dressed a bit better, but still sporting our blue and gold.

Making the decision to divorce your spouse is difficult under any circumstances. Often, deciding to end your marriage feels like the final step in what has likely been a long and emotional road. However, in many ways, moving forward with a divorce is the beginning of a new phase—one where you may want to seek out available resources to help you cope and adjust.
Military OneSource can provide you with resources that can help you through this confusing, complicated and stressful time. Whether it's meeting with a non-medical counselor, partnering with a health and wellness coach, discussing finances with a personal financial counselor, seeking legal help or finding support for the other members of your family, Military OneSource is here to help.

Beyond the emotions that come with ending your marriage, navigating the legal process is often one of the most complicated and stressful aspects of a divorce. Gaining a general understanding of how this process works can greatly reduce the time, expense and emotional strain on you and your family.
While state law and local procedures largely govern divorce, there are certain federal statutes and military regulations that may be applicable to your divorce, depending on where you file. For instance, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act helps protect service members' legal rights when called to active duty.
Service members and their families also have access to legal advice at no cost through the installation legal assistance offices. However, it is important to note that legal assistance officers only offer guidance to either the service member or the spouse, in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Military lawyers—called judge advocates (JAGs)—are also available to help you and your spouse understand the legal implications of your divorce. A JAG officer cannot represent you or your spouse in a family law court, but can refer you to a civilian lawyer. JAG officers also cannot represent a client in a family law court. To find a JAG officer on an installation near you, visit the Installation Program Directory.
the non-medical counseling page to learn more about how Military OneSource can help.
As you and your spouse begin the process of legally separating, it's important to remember to tend to your own emotional wellness. Even if you feel confident in your decision and ready to move forward, it's always OK to ask for extra help.
Military OneSource can provide support through this difficult time with the following resources:
Call Military OneSource at 800-342-9647 to learn more about all of the above services and request an appointment with a non-medical counselor, health and wellness coach or financial counselor.

One of the problems associated with eating dried fruits, such as prunes and raisins, is that one underestimates the total amount of calories consumed. For instance, the calories in prunes are more than expected, as one is consuming the same amount of food as if eating the untreated fruit. However, as the dried version has been drained of water, it is therefore smaller and does not seem as high in calories. This is a misconception, as the amount of calories in, for example, raisins is the same as in grapes. Yet one would never consume the same amount of grapes as raisins, due to their larger size.
It is this 'density' in calories that tricks the stomach into not feeling full, despite actually having consumed a significant amount of nutrition. It is this same phenomenon that renders prunes and raisins dangerous foods to snack on. It is quite easy to consume an entire packet of raisins and not feel satiated.
The calories in dried prunes vary according to type. However, a commonly accepted value is approximately 240 kcal per 100g. The standard serving quantity is taken to be around 50g, which corresponds to about six prunes of average weight. One aspect of prunes nutrition that is often omitted in dietary guides is the fact that they act as a reasonably powerful laxative. Therefore, it is quite possible that the calories gained through the prunes themselves, are compensated by the effective increase in metabolic rate.
If this laxative effect is the only effect desired, then one popular way of reducing the amount of calories is to consume only prune juice. This is achieved by soaking prunes in water for a few hours in order to drain the fruit of its juice. This will achieve a good result, whilst cutting out the calories contained in the meat of the prunes.
Experts on nutrition recommend not consuming more than three or four prunes on any given day. More important than quantity, is the regularity with which one eats them. This will optimise their positive dietary attributes, whilst minimizing any discomfort caused by over consumption.

Just in case you thought about shopping around for a new flagship phone with great features and irresistible looks, Satya Nadella has word for you that Microsoft isn't in the race yet.
Having incurred a loss of $3.2 billion recently after writing off the unit that manufactured erstwhile-Nokia phones, Nadella has his knives out to reorganise the phone business and culling 7,800 employees in the coming months.
He is also planning to launch the fewest phones possible to keep the business afloat. He'll do this by catering to affordable, business and premium smartphone requirements worldwide with just one or two phone launches for each segment.
As of now, the best Nadella has to offer is the Lumia 1520- a top-spec smartphone featuring a 6-inch full HD display, 20MP primary camera, Quad-core 2.2 GHz processor, wireless charging, 4G connectivity and a 32GB storage. Next is line is the Lumia 1020 with a 4.5-inch HD display, 41MP primary camera, 4G connectivity, Dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and free built in OneDrive storage of 30GB.
However, both these phones are currently not available in Microsoft's UK stores, leaving you with mid-range options like Lumia 735, Lumia 640, Lumia 535 and the Lumia 520.
As per reports, Microsoft is planning on designing two new premium phones named Cityman and Talkman which will be compatible with the new Windows 10 mobile OS. Even though Nadella has so far stayed mum on these phones, Unleash The Phones reported that Cityman will feature a 5.7-inch QHD display, an octa-core processor, 32GB internal storage, 3GB RAM, 20MP and 5MP cameras and a 3,300 mAh removable battery.
On the other hand, Talkman will contain a smaller 5.2-inch QHD display and will feature an octa-core processor, 32GB internal storage, 3GB RAM, 20MP and 5MP cameras and a lighter 3,000 mAh removable battery.
We expect these two phones to be released later this year following the launch of Windows 10 operating system. Until then, you'll have to leave out Microsoft from your plans if you need a flagship phone right now.

Effect of Selection for Self-fertility and Self-sterility in Alfalfa and Related Characters1
- Thad H. Busbice,
- Ramzy Y. Gurgis and
- Harry B. Collins2
Two cycles of selection for self-fertillty in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) doubled self-fertility, as measured by the percentage of ovules developing into seed after selling, and they increased cross-fertility slightly, as measured by the percentage of ovules developing into seed after crossing to unrelated tester plants. Selection for self-sterility reduced self-fertility by more than threefourths and cross-fertility by one-third to one-half. Based on 40 plants representing a wide range of self-fertility, correlations between self- and cross-fertility were 0.5 or 0.6, depending on the tester used in crossing. Selection for self-fertility increased the abundance of pollen, whereas selection for self-sterility decreased it. Both self and cross-fertillty were highly correlated with abundance of pollen. Number of ovules per flower and the size of ovules before pollination changed only slightly in response to selection and neither was correlated with self or cross-fertility.
By 96 hours after pollination, the ovules had become separated by size into two distinct groups. The smaller ovules, representing one group, either were not fertilized after pollination or aborted very soon after fertilization. The larger ovules, representing the other group, most probably were fertilized, but some aborted before producing seed. The most pronounced difference in the distribution after selling and crossing was the proportion of ovules in the two groups. Ovule growth occurred mostly at random within the ovary, but after selling, there was evidence that basal ovules were fertilized slightly less often than ovules nearer the style, suggesting a weak self-incompatibility system.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

rhoCentralFoam crashing
Hello all,
I'm having problems with rhoCentralFoam crashing in certain test cases. Most of the time it is working well, but I'm finding that it crashes when there is a large temperature gradient over a short distance. I get the error message:
#0 Foam::error::printStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"
#1 Foam::sigFpe::sigFpeHandler(int) in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"
#2 in "/lib/libc.so.6"
#3 Foam::ePsiThermo<Foam::pureMixture<Foam::sutherlan dTransport<Foam::specieThermo<Foam::hConstThermo<F oam::perfectGas> > > > >::calculate() in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libbasicThermophysicalModels.so"
#4 Foam::ePsiThermo<Foam::pureMixture<Foam::sutherlan dTransport<Foam::specieThermo<Foam::hConstThermo<F oam::perfectGas> > > > >::correct() in "/opt/openfoam171/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libbasicThermophysicalModels.so"
in "/opt/openfoam171/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/rhoCentralFoam"
#6 __libc_start_main in "/lib/libc.so.6"
in "/opt/openfoam171/applications/bin/linux64GccDPOpt/rhoCentralFoam"
Floating point exception
Sometimes it seems like there's a temperature spike at one cell (T goes from ~300K to >2500K) but sometimes it seems like the solution has reached a steady state and then it just crashes. Has someone seen this before? How did you fix it?
While I do not remember the particular error message (had too many already with rhoCentralFoam ;-) ), quite often I could overcome failures with modification of the grid-size.
If I look at it from an engineering point of view: What should the solver do if it finds two extremely different values in neighbouring cells? I can imagine that at some point the differences just are too extreme.
If it is possible in matters of computer work-load, at this point I would increase the resolution by a factor of 2, 5 or 10. You should notice from the simulated time if that changes anything in the failure mode.
Another way could be to downscale the problem by a factor of 10 via the "convertToMeters" setting within the blockMeshDict file.
Another thing I usually do in such cases: I look at the solutions just before the failing time-step. Sometimes that already gives a clue on the problem at hand, like too coarse grids or wrongly set boundary conditions...
Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for the reply. What I normally do is start with a coarse mesh so that I can find a steady state solution. And then I refine the mesh (using my own blockMeshDict, not refineMesh because I find that can do things that I don't like) and run this more refined mesh. I keep refining the mesh until I don't see a significant change between iterations.
However, with this particular geometry it seems to run the coarse mesh fine, but then after refining the mesh, instead of reaching a similar solution there are some points where the temperature blows up.
I've looked at those cells where the T is high, and there doesn't seem to be much reason for it (the neighbouring cells are all fine). The cells are close to a junction but they I don't think they are skewed too much. I've also just gone to an even more refined mesh but that seems to give the same results. And I've also found the data points that I think are bad and manually changed the numbers just before blowing up, and then continued the run. This last trick seems to get me somewhere but then I have no confidence in my results.
I guess the thing that I find strange is that the error comes from the thermophysicalProperties lines when solving for rhoE. I was hoping that somehow I can just tell it to not take bad numbers so that it would avoid crashing until things stabilized. Is there a way to do that? I know that you can do
unset FOAM_SIGFPE
to not make it crap out when it encounters an error, but then I just get NAN and it keeps running.
Let me know if you find something
I've just encountered a similar problem. What I'm running is a modified rhoCentralFoam, I added mass transport equation to it but I think my problem is similar: crash when in Thermo.
This is what I noticed:
First, I set the U field to some value, the calculations would crash after a few iterations.
I set the U field to zero: it would run longer
Then, I changed boundary condition velocity to ramp from zero to what I wanted to be:
The calculations ran for much longer before crashing.
The model is a real world model, STEP file meshed with netgen, converted to OpenFoam.

Cardinals cool off Rangers in Game 1
ST. LOUIS – A 15-run outburst in their last game had shown how quickly the explosive Texas Rangers' hitters can heat up.
In Game 1 of the World Series, the St. Louis Cardinals made a statement by promptly cooling them off.
Texas got little else other than Mike Napoli's two-run homer in a 3-2 defeat Wednesday, as Chris Carpenter went six strong innings and the Cardinals' inspired bullpen took care of the rest.
The Rangers' 2-3-4 hitters —Elvis Andrus, Josh Hamilton and Michael Young— went a combined 0-for-11 with three strikeouts, and the visitors failed to capitalize on the handful of opportunities they created.
"It's going to be fun," Young said. "They made pitches when they had to. One pinch-hit was the difference."
Pinch-hitter Allen Craig's single off Alexi Ogando inside the right-field line and just past diving Nelson Cruz broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth.
Texas had a runner on second with one out twice in the final four innings but failed to get a run across. Hamilton and Young left Ian Kinsler stranded in the sixth, before the Rangers put runners on first and second with one out in the seventh.
With lefty Marc Rzepczynski coming out of the bullpen to face the bottom of the lineup, Rangers manager Ron Washington responded with two right-handed pinch-hitters, reserve outfielder Craig Gentry and infielder Esteban German, who was getting the first postseason at-bat of his 10-year career.
Both struck out, while more experienced Yorvit Torrealba remained on the bench.
"Righty against the lefty," Washington said of his rationale. "I thought (German) had a good chance against Rzepczynski with the breaking stuff he threw. He beat us."
Pressed further about why he didn't turn to Torrealba, who went 4-for-9 in the American League Championship Series and is often used as a DH, Washington said, "Can you guarantee me that if I used Torrealba, he would have done anything different? I used the guy I thought could get me the base hit."
No Ranger managed that after Cruz's one-out single in the seventh, as Cardinals relievers retired the last eight batters they faced, continuing an astonishing run that has seen them log a 1.72 ERA in the postseason.
The Rangers bullpen had been nearly unassailable in the ALCS, registering a 1.32 ERA that ranked as the second-best ever in a best-of-seven series. Craig's single put a dent in that shield of invincibility.
Though St. Louis pinch-hitters batted .228 (51-for-224) in the regular season, they had 32 RBI, and Craig tied for the team lead with seven hits.
As an AL team that uses the DH, the Rangers produced 12 hits in 61 at-bats (.197) in those situations and lack a specialist for the role.
Craig seems comfortable with the task.
"He's got a history of taking great at-bats, especially with runners in scoring position,"' Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.
Napoli, who came in batting .316 for the postseason and was tied for the team lead with 12 hits, was moved down to the seventh spot in the lineup as protection for Cruz, who had a record six homers and 13 RBI in the ALCS.
With the Rangers down 2-0 and a runner on in the fifth, Napoli teed off on a Carpenter sinker that drifted over the plate, hitting a game-tying blast to right field. That made him 4-for-5 with two homers and five RBI in his career against Carpenter, but he didn't face him again.
The Cardinals' parade of five relievers took over soon after that, and Texas hitters never got the measure of them.

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement A/C Condenser to repair your car or truck. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a trusted name built into each Chevrolet, and know that only the highest quality replacement Express 1500 parts will suffice when repairs are needed. You picked your Express 1500 because its reliability and long-lasting quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Your Chevrolet dealership isn't the only place to find trusted repair parts to fix your Express 1500.
Ever since the 1950s, cars and trucks have been built with either standard or optional climate control systems. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Chevrolet Express 1500 changes the pressurized refrigerant from an extremely hot temperature to a more neutral temperature before it gets expanded into a gas. You will usually find your Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C condenser mounted at the front of your vehicle near the radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If you notice the A/C condenser is leaking, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Chevrolet Express 1500 part for your project or repair. Don't let a A/C Condenser repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Bring your Express 1500 back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. All the Chevrolet Express 1500 A/C Condenser parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996.

Does anyone have a form template to use when a person owns their own work computer? Something like "laptop and employee must abide by the company security policies, but the company is not liable for any hardware problems". I have a good computer & internet use policy but it doesn't say anything about personal equipment that management approved for business use. Thank you.

I don't have a good one to offer, but I'd also like to get some good ideas.

Here are a couple of good options:

Thanks for the suggestions, I ended up writing a very short, informal one, just so those employees know that certain security programs have to be running on their computer, and if they leave the company, the company's data has to come off.
Apr 30, 2008 at 4:58 UTC
I just dont allow it.....
To much overhead to deal with licensing, data protection ect......
if you need a computer to do your work, i will supply one.
Jan 14, 2009 at 7:29 UTC
I second Brett. - Just not enough control over a non-company computer. We don't even allow lawyers/staff to remote into the office on their own equipment, for the same reasons.
Jan 14, 2009 at 9:31 UTC
Ophelia GmbH & Co. KG is an IT service provider.
Someone should tell your management that allowing private computers on comany networks is not only a risk. It is sabotage!
Maybe you can at least convince your management how much money it can cost the company only for supporting a privately owned machine. I don`t even want to think about the costs when this machine spreads out something to the network...
And what about the laws concerning private data? If you run some kind of network inventory tool in your company network (Hopefully Spiceworks), then some private data from this private machine goes into the hands of the company. The company backs up this data on tapes or other media for years...
Being a manager should involve responsibility, as well - not only giving orders!
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Los Angeles Injury AttorneysWe Are Here To Help You
The Southern California law firm of Rice & Bloomfield is recognized by the community and by its peers as one of the leading personal injury law firms in Los Angeles and throughout California. As Los Angeles Injury Lawyers, at our Encino office we work to obtain justice and proper compensation for our clients. Our lawyers focus on helping injured victims seek compensation for their serious injuries caused by the carelessness or misconduct of another person, business or corporation.
Call us now for a free consultation. We are available 24 hours a day. (818) 999-2220.
When you are injured, you need the help of a Los Angeles Injury Attorney - someone you can trust to help. The insurance company is not your friend. Although the insurance company has an obligation to compensate when you are hurt, it will fight every step of the way to deny you the compensation you deserve. The insurance companies know how to delay and limit the money it pays for your injuries. At Rice & Bloomfield, we have over 50 years of experience, research, and training to battle those unfair insurance practices to get the best possible results for our clients.
At Rice & Bloomfield, we understand how an injury impacts your life. Our Los Angeles injury lawyers are here to help. Our first goal is to make sure that you receive the best medical care possible to help you recover from your injury. If you are injured in Southern California because of someone else's negligence or misconduct, you are entitled to the best quality medical care and we are here to make sure you receive it.
Part of helping you recover from an injury is making your life easier, not harder. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis, which means we are paid a percentage of what we recover on your behalf. If there is no recovery on your case, we charge no fee. Your injuries have impacted your life enough, you should not also worry about out-of-pocket legal fees. We are here to help you.
That is also why we advance litigation costs. You should not incur extra financial risk when someone else caused your injury. Your job is to focus on your health and your recovery; our job it to take care of everything else. When you are injured, we advance all costs involved in making sure you get properly compensated for your injuries.
We want to help you - whether it is to obtain an appropriate and reasonable settlement when you have been hurt in an automobile accident; to ensure that a child with cerebral palsy or other birth-related injuries caused by medical mistakes has the resources to help the parents provide the highest quality care for their child's needs; to hold corporations accountable for practicing discrimination in the workplace; to ensure that insurance companies deal fairly and honestly with the people who bought their insurance; or to help small business with disputes that may arise and require legal counsel.
We are a group of aggressive and experienced litigators who relentlessly advocate the rights of our clients to achieve the maximum results. Our reputation in the legal field, based on our history of success, gives us a unique ability to settle most cases at full value, without the need for a lengthy and costly trial. For those cases that cannot be resolved, our experience, reputation and expertise allow us to effectively carry a case through trial to achieve positive results.
Although aggressive litigators, what sets Rice & Bloomfield apart from other law firms is our dedication to, empathy for, and communication with the people we represent. We realize that a lawsuit can be an ordeal for the client and strive to help make the process as understandable and easy to navigate as possible. We are never more than a phone call away and, unlike some other lawyers, you will receive a return call promptly, if we are not immediately available when you call.
At Rice & Bloomfield we are committed to excellence in the practice of law and compassion for the people we serve. We represent clients throughout Southern California and the Greater Los Angeles Metro Area, including Woodland Hills and San Fernando Valley. We are dedicated to providing every client with the highest level of care and respect.
While Rice & Bloomfield is able to settle most cases, we are trial lawyers. If the insurance company does not treat you fairly, if it is not prepared to justly compensate you for your injuries, we will take your case to trial. It is our reputation and our commitment to try cases when necessary that enable Ms. Rice and Mr. Bloomfield to obtain such remarkable results for their clients.
Our areas of practice include:
- Automobile Collisions
- Bicycle Accidents
- Burn Injuries
- Dog Bites
- Elder Abuse and Nursing Home Abuse
- Motorcycle Collisions
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Slip & Falls
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Trucking Accidents

Tim Drake is an award-winning writer and former journalist and radio host with the National Catholic Register/EWTN. He currently serves as New Evangelization Coordinator for the Holdingford Area Catholic Community in the Diocese of St. Cloud, Minnesota. He resides with his wife and five children in St. Joseph, Minn.
If you haven't yet seen the powerful documentary "180", do yourself a favor and take 30 minutes out of your day to watch the attached film. It's worth taking a look at and sharing with others. Just a warning - the film does contain graphic images.
Created by evangelical pastor Ray Comfort, the film features interviews with people on the street, many of them college students.
At first, you'll be dismayed at the students' ignorance of history, but keep watching.
Comfort goes on to present each of them with a hypothetical situation that goes like this:
It's 1943. A German officer has a gun pointed at you. He wants you to get into a bulldozer and drive it forward. In front of the bulldozer is a pit in which there are 300 Jews who have just been shot. Some of them are still alive. He wants you to bury them alive! If you don't do what he says, he is going to kill you and do it himself. If you do what he says, he will let you live. Would you drive it forward?
Comfort said that he was both surprised and sickened by many of the initial responses.
"I was surprised that so many said that they could bury another person alive. I felt sickened, but at the same time I don't know if I believed others when they quickly said that they would take the bullet, rather than do it," Comfort told The Christian Post. "I guess it takes a lot of soul-searching. It certainly is a character-test for each of us."
Then, Comfort transitions to the topic of abortion. With just a few questions, Comfort is able to get many of them to reconsider their position on abortion. It's amazing to see how they change their minds in just a matter of seconds.
Released just over a week ago, the YouTube video has already received more than half a million views. The film's Facebook page has received between 800 and 1,000 "Likes" per day.
Gee, I echoed the word bleep just like all the other viewers, and I didn't inhale. Hypocritical? The movie suggests the ends justify the means. "Just wait till you see the end; it's worth it." A fellow in Kansas murdered an aborton doctor. How many unborn babies did he save? "Thou shalt not kill" is not a complex statement. I watched until the vulgarity and blasphemy became overwhelming. I was disgusted with myself. I would never share such with those I love.
The inalienable right to life possessed by every human being is present from the moment of initial formation, and all human beings shall be entitled to the equal protection of persons under the law. Learn more at: http://www.personhoodinitiative.com/about-personhood.html
I'm not sure what I think of this video. I believe abortion is indeed murder, but I have two concerns with the approach taken by the half-hour film.
First, it feels like intellectual bullying, which I don't think produces lasting change. It is unfair for an unprepared person to face a highly scripted argument with leading questions meant to draw them into a logic trap, and I think anyone rightfully resents being treated like that. Just because someone "loses" such an argument does little to persuade their heart.
Secondly, the film also feels like an "everything but the kitchen sink" sort of approach, which I would think would overwhelm people and cause them to shut off or tune out.
I don't believe the ends justify the means, which is actually one reason I oppose abortion. But applying that principle to this video, I am unsure that the high pressure and bombardment tactics used are excusable.
There were German soldiers who refused to be a part of the Nazi genocide. They were summarily shot and thrown into the pits as well.
The slippery slope to hell in Germany was gradual. Little by little, the rights of citizens were violated. It was not long before marginalized Germans were being put to death by the tens of thousands, and it was a short step to the millions slaughtered in the holocaust.
"In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up" Martin Niemöller (1892–1984).
We Americans have been traveling the same road for decades. How many of our citizens have been involuntarily euthanized (Happy death) in Oregon, and Washington. Euthanasia proponents will never stop at "voluntary" euthanasia.
"Like those hauled off to Auschwitz, the vulnerable elderly, severely disabled and chronically ill are being killed in large numbers. These vulnerable citizens suffer and die in their own silent Holocaust, a Holocaust that is invisible to the public, because it is hidden behind the wall of "privacy laws" that protect the killers, but do not protect the patients" (Ron Panzer - president of the pro-life patient advocacy organization Hospice Patients Alliance in Rockford, Michigan).
When will we wake up to the fact that an involuntary death is murder, whether in the womb or at any other stage of life?
Wow! That was truly awesome. I think the trick was to start with the holocaust without ever bringing up abortion…it was their own words that convicted them, not Ray Comforts. He helped them to see for themselves the inconsistencies in their views. So much better than just preaching it at them. I hope we watch this film on the buses going to the March for Life this year! (Are you listening Archdiocese of Chicago?)
This video is a powerful way to see the two worlds in which we all live in tension: the one of devil and the one of the Holy Spirit. Our daily life is made, in fact, of struggle and choice. But the Holy Spirit can give us the hope of success even when we lose the game, thanks to our trust in Him. Veni creator Spiritus!
This movie is really powerful. I highly recommended watching it and sharing with your friends.
About a year ago, Archbishop Chaput wrote a column about the Mission of Catechesis…. he starts with a reference to Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery" and a conversation he had with a teacher who taught the story over a nearly 20 year span. In the 70s (and 80s - I remember it in my college lit class) students expressed shock and indignation… discussed the meaning of sacrifice and tradition —in the 90s… students just found the story 'boring'. When pushed to discuss it… they excepted the story as accepting different cultures.
the article is here: http://www.archden.org/index.cfm/ID/4728
The point being… no one is teaching the difference between right and wrong (or critical thought for that matter).
An exercise as Drake describes (my plug in won't let me watch the video… ) is critical for our society at any age to understand self and sacrifice…
Myself…. I'm not afraid to die. I long to see my heavenly father's face… and my sister and dad. So I'd take the bullet - particularly to save others . Easy.

The Wimbledon 2013 winner Andy Murray says that he is not satisfied yet by just winning one Wimbledon and he wants to carry his this momentum further ahead in order to win more Grand Slam titles. Earlier this year Andy Murray became the first British player after 77 years to win a Gold Trophy. Murray defeated the favorite for the tournament Novak Djokovic by 6-4, 7-5 and 6-4 to win the Wimbledon title.
"Murray Targets More Grand Slams After Wimbledon Win"
Andy Murray said:
"I may never win another slam, I don't know, but I'm going to try as hard as I can and keep working hard and not worry about all of the other stuff that comes along with winning Wimbledon, and after a few days I will enjoy this and get back to work."
After winning the Wimbledon Murray had taken a few weeks off from the court but has now returned back to the court for his preparations for the next tournament.
Despite of winning a Grand Slam recently Andy Murray is still ranked world no.2 in tennis players. Murray said that he know it is going to be difficult to become the no.1 in rankings but this is his dream and he is going to work hard for it. He further added that "You have to be so consistent throughout the whole year. Right now I hold two slams, the Olympic gold and the final of another slam and I'm still nowhere near number one in the world."
The Murray's next opportunity to win another Grand Slam will be at US Open where he will enter the tournament as defending champion. He also won that title in 2012 by defeating Novak Djokovic.

Stem Cell Culture in LaboratoryBY: Nidhi Uppangala | Category: Stem-Cells | Submitted: 2010-07-07 19:56:30
Article Summary: "Growing cells in the laboratory environment, by providing appropriate nutrients, temperature, growth factors and some other chemical substances is called as cell culture. Not only differentiated animal cells, but also stem cells can be cultured in laboratory in aseptic condition..."
Growing cells in the laboratory environment, by providing appropriate nutrients, temperature, growth factors and some other chemical substances is called as cell culture. Not only differentiated animal cells, but also stem cells can be cultured in laboratory in aseptic condition. These cultured stem cells can be differentiated into specific type of cell by adding or changing the composition of cell culture media.
Stem Cell Culture Method:
1. Human embryonic stem cells are first isolated by transferring the inner cell mass into plastic laboratory culture dish, which already contains a nutrient broth known as cell culture media.
2. The stem cells divide and spread over the surface of the culture dish. The inner surface of the dish is typically coated with treated mouse embryonic skin cells, because of the treatment these cells will not divide. These mouse embryonic skin cells are called as feeder layer, they provide sticky surface to which human embryonic stem cells can attach to grow and divide further in the cell culture dish.
3. Also, the feeder layer cell that is mouse embryonic skin cells release nutrients into the culture medium. Recently, scientists have begun to grow embryonic stem cells without the mouse feeder cells. This is very important discovery as this avoids the risk of transmission of viruses and other macromolecules which are present in the mouse cell into human embryonic cell.
4. After some days, the cell of the inner cell mass that is human embryonic cell proliferates and begins to crowd the culture dish. At this point, cells are removed gently from the culture dish and are plated into several fresh culture dishes.
5. The process of replating the cells is repeated many times and for many months and this process is called as subculturing.
6. Each subculturing of cells is also known as passage. After six months or more, the original few human embryonic stem cells will yield millions of embryonic stem cells.
7. Embryonic stem cells, which are proliferated in cell culture for six or more months without differentiation are known as pluripotent and appear genetically normal, without having any genetic mutations are referred to as embryonic stem cell line.
8. Once the cell lines are establishes, batches of newly formed cell line are frozen using liquid nitrogen and cryopreservation method and are shipped to other laboratories for further culturing and experimentation.
9. These human embryonic stem cell lines can be used to differentiate into specific form of cell like muscle cell, nerve cell, cartilage or any form of specific cell by altering the composition of cell culture media.
10. Scientists can differentiate this human embryonic cell line by adding growth factors to the media or by altering genes present in them.
11. Scientists and researchers are also trying to differentiate these human embryonic stem cells by introducing new genes into cells genome.
1. The most important and potential application of human stem cell is the generation of cells or tissues, which could be used for cell-based therapies. These cells or tissues will be immunologically and genetically identical to the patient, hence will not induce graft rejection in patients and also will reduce the intake of immunosuppressant drugs by patient with transplanted organs or tissues.
2. Stem cells, directed to differentiate into specific cell types, acts as renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat patient with diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

On Tuesday, an atheist advocacy group heralded its participation in conservative super-gathering CPAC in March, only to be booted hours later after howls from conservative Christians and a taunt from the atheist group's president that "the Christian right should be threatened by us."
The episode was a perhaps overly dramatic episode over a conference booth, but it reignited continuing tensions among conservatives over how to court a growing cohort of non-religious Americans and navigate changing views on social issues.
"I'm really disappointed, but I'm not at all surprised," said David Silverman, president of American Atheists. "We were going to CPAC specifically to combat the notion that one must be Christian in order to be conservative. We wanted to bring that to the forefront."
But conference organizers said that while they were open to the group, Silverman's comments went too far. CPAC spokesperson Meghan Snyder said Silverman's group "misrepresented itself about their willingness to engage in positive dialogue and work together to promote limited government," in an e-mail to The Washington Post.
Snyder said Silverman used "divisive and inappropriate" language, giving CPAC "no choice but to return his money."
Christian conservatives bristled at CPAC's initial willingness to let the atheist group participate. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, in an e-mail to CNN's Dan Merica (who first reported the group's dismissal), asked, "Does the American Conservative Union really think the liberties and values they seek to preserve can be maintained when they partner with individuals and organizations that are undermining the understanding that our liberties come from God? Thomas Jefferson warned against such nonsense."

Love, F17
I hope we get higher than a FUCKING BRONZE TROPHY for getting all the shards. That is all.
Hey there- Ive never played a DQ game before, but I really want to try one. I know there are several options on DS, but I wanted to get some of you to answer some questions first.
How hardcore of an RPG is a DragonQuest game? I have little JRPG experience, and I tend to get bored of them, but something about DQ is drawing me in.
Are there random battles?
Which one is the best? I know 9 recently came out for DS, so since that is the newest would it be the best to start out with?
Or should I avoid the series all together?
I shall write more on this issue in the future.
Maybe I'm missing something, but first, I will say that The Mercenaries is a great part of both Resident Evil 4 and 5. Its fun, and gives you something to do once you finish the main game. It can actually get quite addictive.
The thing I don't understand is the price point. While a U.S. date is not confirmed for the game, all major retailers list it at $39.99, the going price for new 3DS games. But why should I pay that much for what is essentially a bonus mode from older games?
It does include new maps and characters to play around with, but still, its a bonus mode from an older game. I would glady play this game, but its the price that steers me away. Thats actually the case for most 3DS games.
The only two 3DS games I own I did not pay full price for. I had some Best Buy credit which got me Street Fighter for 20$, while Amazon gave me a $25 credit, allowing me to purchase Pilotwings for fifteen bucks. Those are great prices for the games, because in my opinion neither of the two contain enough content to justify $40.
I would gladly pay $20 for The Mercenaries 3D. It also just seems stupid that they'll charge that much for what is essentially a bonus mode, when a full fledged RE title is coming out for the 3DS in the distant future. If that game happens to contain the mercenaries mode in it, along with a long story, then Mercenaries will have seemed even more ridiculous to purchase at full price.
Thats all for now. What do you think about the price of RE: M3D, or just 3DS games in general? Love you.
The Dead Island trailer was awesome. It was intense, suspenseful, and at the end of the day pretty powerful. The game is a first person game centered around melee combat. You know what I didn't see in the trailer? Any first person melee combat. I love seeing a new cool trailer for a game. The only thing I want from it is at least a snippet of gameplay. Dead Island is the latest game to follow the trend of debuting with a crazy cutscene trailer, without showing anything from the game. All that aside, this is one of the best trailers you will ever see.
Ive gone through this before. I remember seeing some intense Halo Wars trailer. It was pre-rendered and epic and made me want a Halo Movie to exist. Surely this game was going to be amazing. Then, I remembered that it was an RTS. I would've rather seen some RTS action in a trailer then some crazy CGI clip. Sure, it was an ok game, but the trailer billed it as a huge action packed adventure. To me, it was... an RTS.
Sometimes Ill let this slide. For example, the first Mass Effect 3 trailer shows no gameplay at all. But its a game we know and love. There aren't going to be any huge surprises. We know how itll play so we dont care what they show us.
Now today, the Elder Scrolls V had a proper gameplay trailer released and it was amazing. While I saw the Dead Island trailer, I was freaking out. But during the Skyrim trailer, I was freaking out waaaayyy more because I was seeing things that I can actually do. Plus that amazing music that was playing during it really set me off.
Actions speak louder than cutscenes. Showing me what Ill be doing in Skyrim made me forget about what I could possibly encounter in Dead Island.

After Six Years of NCLB, Education Needs Change
January 8th marks the 6-year anniversary of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Since 2002, NCLB has thrust federal bureaucrats into local schools, millions of dollars and millions of teacher work-hours have been wasted to excessive paperwork and regulatory red tape. And, the results are clear: Children are not getting better educations and no one is held accountable for it.
I have legislation that works to fix the backward structure of NCLB and restores accountability and authority to local educators. My bill, HR 3177, the Local Education Authority Returns Now (LEARN) Act, enables states to opt out of the costly and burdensome NCLB law. It gives control back to the parents, the teachers, and the local elected officials, allowing them to pursue local and state education initiatives based on what they believe will best help their students.
It's time we remove Washington bureaucrats from our nation's public education and return the control and accountability to our local communities who are intimately engaged in the education of our children.

The rise of fintech is changing the face of the financial services industry, from challenging traditional banking models to bringing new digital products to market.
While some may fear the fintech revolution, there are opportunities to be had - esspecially for those who take advanatge of digital innovatations and strategic partnerships with emerging players. In fact, investment in fintech has grown from $1.8million in 2010 to $19million in 2015.
The services provided by large banks to customers: savings, loans, mortgages, international transfers and advice, have all relied heavily on branches and face-to-face interaction with their employees. Now with digital disruption, it has not only given account holders greater autonomy through online banking, but has opened up opportunities for new entrants to tap into new markets and create challenger banks.
New fintech start-ups are offering faster, easier, and cheaper ways to transfer money between countries, bypassing expensive bank charges; others are providing more mortgage options for people, especially those who have "thin" credit profiles and are using big data from a far greater spread of information than before to build more detailed pictures of these new customers who were unserved by traditional banks.
Equally, many large banks are now seeking to collaborate with fintech companies or imitate their success with their own services; and are investing heavily in digital talent and new technologies, particularly in the payments sector.
FinTech Start-ups To Watch
The infographic below highlights just how many fintech companies are filling demand across the banking and financial sector.

How are major banks responding to fintech innovation?
Barclays Barclays operates startup accelerators in six countries worldwide and recently its Rise Accelerator in Mumbai has announced its first cohort of 10 startups. The accelerator offers mentoring and advice and access to internation markets for the accelerators' startups.
Elsewhere Barclays recently collaborated with Wave, and Israeli blockchain startup, to facilitate the world's first successful blockchain transaction.
Morgan Stanley
Banking giant Morgan Stanley recently lent $100m to fintech startup Affirm, a startup allowing people to pay off purchases in monthly instalments.
Lloyds banks has been looking to hire a fintech "guru" to help with its £1 billion digital transformation programme, whilst earlier in the summer announcing a mentoring service for new startups.
Over the Summer, Santander's venture capital fund Santander Innoventures secured an extra $100m of funding, raising a total of $200m to invest in minority stakes in startups. Santander Innoventures has already invested in successful fintech companies such as Ripple, Socure and iZettle.
As the banking and finance sector continues to face disruption, the conditions for growing fintech companies are excellent: customers continue to want new, innovative and digital solutions to managing their finances. That said, as larger banks engage in digital transformation the competition may get harder, as the opportunities for banks to collaborate with fintech start-ups starts to increase. What is certain is that as this industry develops, the companies that succeed, whether big or small, will be those that embrace technology and stay on top of innovation.
