|New Testament Hyper-concordance: "Rose"
|And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt,
|And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel.
|he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him.
|And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
|And he rose and went home.
|As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax office; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.
|And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.
|but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.
|Then all those maidens rose and trimmed their lamps.
|And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.
|And he rose, and immediately took up the pallet and went out before them all; so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this!"
|And as he passed on, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.
|and when the sun rose it was scorched, and since it had no root it withered away.
|Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
|And they rose up and put him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw him down headlong.
|And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them.
|And immediately he rose before them, and took up that on which he lay, and went home, glorifying God.
|And he left everything, and rose and followed him.
|But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there.
|And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,
|And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them,
|The sea rose because a strong wind was blowing.
|And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.
|rose from supper, laid aside his garments, and girded himself with a towel.
|The young men rose and wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
|But the high priest rose up and all who were with him, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and filled with jealousy
|And he rose and went. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a minister of the Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship
|And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,
|And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose.
|So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other garments which Dorcas made while she was with them.
|So he called them in to be his guests. The next day he rose and went off with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
|not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
|But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city; and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.
|But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up, and said, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses."
|And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, "Brethren, you know that in the early days God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
|Then the king rose, and the governor and Bernice and those who were sitting with them;
|Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to dance."
|For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
|and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God.
|he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
|Then I saw another beast which rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.

As just reported in an article by the Times Leader, New Jersey Central train station in Wilkes-Barre has been purchased by George Albert on behalf of Market Square Properties Development LLC. The Wyoming-based development company bought the train station for $1.2 million. The sale of the New Jersey Central train station base been confirmed by the executive director of the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority, Andrew Reilly. This sale has been in the works since August 2015. The property was originally built in 1868.
The train station and its 6 acre lot was purchased by the Luzerne County Redevelopment Authority for $5.8 million in April 2006. There were complications with their attempt to renovate the train station property because of funding issues. Even though the New Jersey Central train station was on the market since 2014, there was only interest from one firm, Market Square Properties.
Market Square Properties intends to develop the New Jersey Central train station and keep the train station as the focal point of the entire property. There are plans to build it out for a restaurant or bank to take over the main part of the property. The current plans are to keep the historic look of the train station the same. In addition, the proposed strip mall will be completely renovated and hopefully full of a wide variety of retailers. Some of the existing tenants plan to remain in the space. There is also talk of a grocery store being built out on the property.

The bird catcher
I open the door to the most daunting place in our home – the garage.
I gasp as some sort of airborne hellion descends from the ceiling and across the man cave. I think to myself, "This is why I do not mess with this place. Menacing flying creatures may attack at any moment."
But, the garage is the only passage into my car and the husband is in Europe – too far too save me from what my mind has exaggerated as a "Wizard of Oz"-ish flying monkey, so I am forced to investigate on my own what is lurking on high.
My greatest fear is that this is a bat or perhaps some sort of overgrown insect waiting to gain entry to my home or find roost on my person.
The winged invader is clearly stressed and reveals itself to be only a trapped little birdie. I am unable to discern what type of bird this is ... she is tiny, maybe only slightly bigger than a hummingbird with wings flapping so quickly I can barely even see them.
I decide the quickest remedy is to leave the garage door open and hope she finds escape.
A day passes and no progress, the little bird remains and is now taking up residence in one of the beamed hollows.
I am forced to bring in assistance.
My teenage stepdaughter has been catching insects, birds and lizards since she could crawl, so clearly she is the proper authority to free this petite critter.
However, I know a thing or two about Alisha and if she gets close enough to snare this bird, we will not be rid of the fowl anytime soon.
I alert Alisha to the situation anyway and am pleased at her knowledge and enthusiasm for the project. She enlightens me that the reason the bird cannot exit is that when they sense danger, they only fly upwards ... thus imprisoning the avian in our garage. There is no end to what this girl teaches me.
I leave her to "Operation: Free Bird."
An hour later, my stepdaughter, whose outward glamor belies the tomboy that lives within her, emerges with oversized Callaway-mittened hands and the varmint encased within her covered palms.
"Linds, we need to keep her."
Ahhhhh, just as I thought – and secretly hoped. We have a new pet.
I decide to go with it momentarily, knowing that we will ultimately have to release this wild beast. We rig a latticed wicker lampshade with art canvases and rocks as an outdoor wildlife sanctuary.
I then lose all common sense, but see a way to get the teen to straighten up her room, so I offer to buy a cage and food if she completes her autumn room clean-out first. She obliges with great aplomb. Garbage bags are filled, retained clothes are hung and neatly folded in drawers, books are placed neatly on shelves, the bed is made and the carpet is vacuumed in 30 minutes flat. Bribery is a powerfully effective tactic.
We then depart the house and leave our new friend in her lampshade enclosure to run separate errands. I venture out on the ultimate suburban stereotypical trip to Costco to replenish our barren cupboards and Alisha goes to get the potential new family member a proper pen.
I return home to a distressed phone call from Alisha.
"Linds, I went to Petco, bought the cage and food ... but, when I got home, I went outside to get the bird and she was gone. She wasn't in the cage! So, now I am at the most amazing place ... a parrot store ... and I am going to buy a bird. Please come meet me here – you will fall in love."
OK. I started this. I have to finish it. And of course, she is correct. If I step into the store, we will exit with a new friend ... even though purchasing animals from pet stores seems contradictory to my nature.
I put off the visit because I have to work – really I do.
As I toil at my day job, my mind cannot help wonder how the bird escaped the improvised corral. I hope that Alisha does not think I released her, as I certainly did not. She must have squeezed her little body through an opening and found her getaway. Or maybe an accomplice birdie or two came and broke her out of her jail.
Whatever the case, I agree to go to the store the next day before work. As scheduling would have it, Chuck would be home from his trip and able to go too, complete with a nasty case of jet lag and hence, more vulnerable to agreeing to a new pet.
I should add that my husband and I are not "bird people." Or at least we did not classify ourselves as such until this point. Dogs, for sure. Cats, no, due to allergies. Horses, yes. Even goats, chickens, llamas and mini ponies. In fact, smallish furry farm animals in general get a resounding "OK" from us. Country living near the city is a fantasy of ours.
But, birds – we leave those to my mother-in-law, who keeps "doves" (I think these "doves" may actually be pigeons, but I dare not break her heart or even touch this subject), and to Alisha, who has briefly had a parakeet or two in her younger years. She has begged us for a larger bird the last two years to no avail. But, the tides are turning ...
We venture out on a family trip to the parrot store the next morning.
Entering this place is like entering a psych ward full of screaming patients. The joint is filled with laughter, echoing "hellos," high-pitched screaming and wings flapping.
Alisha goes to wheel and deal on the bird that has caught her eye – the smallest of this talkative bunch, a Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure – while Chuck and I are mesmerized by the enormity, wild shading and eerily articulate chatter emanating from the menagerie on display.
"Pretty bird!"
"Whit Whooooo!" (The whistle emitted by construction workers at foxy ladies.) (And thank you Chuck Garric for the input on how to spell that.)
I am involved in a chuckling volley as a humongous Moluccan Cockatoo is mocking my giggle. Each time the bird echoes my very own chortle, I am sent into a more violent fit of laughter.
Alisha approaches with a much more compact, exquisitely feathered comrade on her shoulder.
She takes the mini version of a parrot off her shoulder and engages in a full-on lip-to-beak smooch session.
She does the expected, handing the bird over to Chuck, who seems to have an instant bond with the little birdie. He declares how "cool" this little fellow is.
I, on the other hand, have to overcome my fear of being pecked to death – even by this smallish adversary.
As I contemplate offering my pointer finger as a perch for the little guy, whose name we now have learned is Rio, the owner of the store launches into the orphaned bird's story.
Rio was hand fed as a baby here and bought by a very nice couple three years ago. They now were getting divorced and being forced to move into non-bird-friendly residences. They relinquished poor Rio to the store in hopes she would be adopted.
Hence, Rio was a sort of rescue bird ... making taking her into our home an unavoidable circumstance.
I decide to harness my bravery and offer my digit to Rio, who is snuggling with Chuck. She looks at me as if to ask, "Are you sure you want to do this, scared-of-a-birdie lady?"
I take a deep breath and she steps onto my extended human branch. She quickly saunters up my arm and onto my shoulder where she buries herself in my hair.
She stays happily in my mane while we give the store owner the "Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure Inquisition of 2012" and badger Alisha about her responsibilities with the incoming creature.
Chuck does the necessary pulling me aside to ask if we are "doing this." And I readily say yes for a slew of reasons, most prominently the instant affection I am feeling for this plumed sweetie.
And so, Rio becomes the next member of our kooky clan.
She has flown new life and humor into our home. The relationship between Rio and our dog Sookie is slowly developing. Once Sookie realized the bird was not brought into the house as a "treat" for her, her family loyalty won out over her salivation. Plus, Rio is a sassy defender of her own life, clearly seeing Sookie as a natural predator, using her beak to let Sook know who is boss.
And although "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," we are one species closer to living in the petting zoo I've always dreamed of.

Civil Registration Records
Government or civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths (also called statutory records) began on January 1, 1855 in Scotland. Each parish has a registrar's office and large cities have several. The records are created by the registrars and copies are sent to the General Register Office in Edinburgh. Annual indexes are then created for the records for the whole country.
See the article on Scotland Civil Registration for more information and to access the records.
Post office directories are available online through the National Library of Scotland, each one is in a PDF format that can be downloaded or one can view it online.

There were 3 workhouses in this county:
A description with drawings and photos of them today along with databases of those living there from the 1881 Census are provided on the links above located on the site entitled "The Workhouse.org.uk" which is owned and operated by Peter Higginbotham.
Probate Records
Aberdeen was under the probate jurisdiction of the Commissary Court of Aberdeen until 1823, and since then has been under the Sheriff's Court of Aberdeen. Probate records for 1513- 1901 are indexed online at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. You must register on the website but use of the index to probate records, called 'Wills & Testaments,' is free. You may then purchase a copy of the document or, if the document is before 1823, it will be on microfilm at the Family History Library. To find the microfilm numbers, search in the library catalog for the 'Place-names' of Aberdeen and the subject of 'Probate records.' Then click on the link to the records of the Commissariat of Aberdeen. Ancestry.co.uk also has many probate records for Scotland and Scottish people indexed from 1861-1941
The library also has some post-1823 probate records for Aberdeen. Look in the library catalog for the 'Place-names' of Aberdeen and the subjects of 'Probate Records' and 'Probate Records - Indexes.'

I don't think anyone here would be still having babies if they took a Lamaze class in the 80s lol. That would be advanced, advanced maternal age. Although the class I took in 1996 is probably way outdated they didn't teach us to lay in our backs and hyperventilate. We were taught several positions including on all fours (which didn't really help with my back labor). They also discussed focal points (that didn't help much either). I wasn't taught pressure points or moaning but I found myself moaning during labor just from instinct as that's how I've always dealt with pain. My labor helpers (mom, husbands, aunt) did use massage and different pressure points to relieve pain but were never instructed to do so. Some things you just do without being taught.

Holding your breath causes your body to tense up which equals more intense pain. Birthing classes mainly focus on trying to release the tension and how you can work with your body to help you through the labor process. You might learn positions but it would be more like, how to get into a more comfortable position that allows your body to open with contractions; what to do if your baby is face up or you are having back labor; options to get you through the transition period without pain meds, etc. It's not the silly lay on your back and hyperventilate crap that it used to be. And any class that teaches you to lay on your back and labor I would run from; seriously the worst, most excruciatingly painful position you could ever be in during birth, IMO. I took Birthing From Within classes and I loved them.

The competitor is not a skier or a figure skater -- or a person at all, but a new technology for wireless broadband Internet access developed in South Korea, called WiBro. And the race in question? How fast a country can provide its population with high-speed Internet access.
After ranking as high as third worldwide in 2000, the United States dropped to 16th last year for its number of high-speed Internet subscribers per capita, according to the International Telecommunication Union, with 11.4 broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants. South Korea, the global leader, has 24.9 subscribers per 100 inhabitants, trailed by Hong Kong, the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada and Switzerland, which all have at least 17 subscribers per 100 inhabitants. Updated data is expected soon for 2006, and some predict the United States will fall out of the top 20.
The WiBro technology on display in Turin by Samsung Electronics Co. can transmit 30 megabits per second to a wireless tablet in what eventually could be a residential service. "They're already on to the next generation," says Jonathan Taplin, a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California.
Other countries may have higher percentages of people using broadband because of their dense populations, which makes it easier to build the necessary network infrastructure, but Canada's strong showing proves that government policy is another reason the United States has begun to lag behind.

String theory. Remnants of a star that exploded roughly 40,000 years ago collide with gas and dust, forming the glowing "Spaghetti Nebula" (runner-up of the "Deep Space" category).
M51—also known as the Whirlpool galaxy—is a classic spiral galaxy that scientists have studied for centuries. But this mesmerizing new image of the galaxy has nabbed Australian photographer Martin Pugh the top prize in the fourth annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year awards, announced this week. The sharp detail of the spiral's arms, defined by dark, dusty areas and bright, pink clouds of hydrogen, impressed the judges. "This is arguably one of the finest images of M51 ever taken by an amateur astronomer," said judge and astronomer Will Gater in a press release. Pugh's photograph—which was chosen from more than 800 entries from around the world and earned him £1500—as well as those of the winners in categories such as "Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year," "Earth and Space," and "Our Solar System," are now on display at the Royal Observatory Greenwich in the United Kingdom. Other standout entries include a photograph of the Pleiades cluster, taken by a 15-year-old astronomer, and an image of this year's transit of Venus across the sun, which was taken on 6 June.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – They're keeping their brains busy this Summer. MSMS is hosting its first ever Middle School Summer Enrichment Program on the campus of Mississippi University for Women.
From building bridges to blowing stuff up, middle schoolers are having the time of their academic lives on the M-U-W campus. They will live and learn here for one week.
"I learned that I can do a lot of things that I didn't think I could and I learned that I have a lot better people skills," said camper Shannon Zakesky.
"I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be so I think this will help me direct or look where I want to go in the future," said camper Stephen Russell.
"Everybody saying this is the camp to be at if you want to step up your game in school," added camper Jordan Jackson.
The camp provides academically talented middle school students with a series of thought provoking activities. Leadership lessons, creative problem solving and cooperative learning are all built into a curriculum that's as fun as it is challenging.
"For this population in particular, students who are academically talented, they can become bored very easily and if we're not continuing to challenge them then they're going to lose interest. And this is the age group where we see the highest number of drop outs, the greatest percentage of the kids that are getting bored and we need to do things to challenge them," said Rick Smith, Director of the MSMS Camp.
During their stay in Columbus, students take three classes a day. Course titles include: Creative Media, Engineering, The Magic of Science, Statistics and Forensic Investigation.
"I want to be a detective when I grow older so I decided I wanted to come to this camp because it seemed like it would be a really good idea to come and learn all the different things and all the other," added camper Shannon.
"I'm thinking about becoming a chemical engineer so I'm guessing engineering class will help with that and like forensic class with chemicals and stuff might help too," said camper Nick Mayo.
And if their future seems too far off to get a firm grip on, the camp is a great way to make friends with some of the sharpest young minds in Mississippi.

" Dosage Form: Towel / Type: Sanitary Towels & Protection "
* Prices may differ from that shown
These looped sanitary towels were once the market leaders, but that was many decades ago.
Their loops need to be attached, front and back, to an elastic, adjustable sanitary belt, which goes around the waist.
Nowadays most women prefer the type of sanitary towel, with waterproof backing, that sticks on to their knickers. For heavy flows, the modern version can be worn as well as a tampon for greater confidence.
I agree that the stick-on variety is what I have usually wanted, but not always.
== When Old-Fashioned is Best ==
There are times when I have had an extra heavy flow, when wearing a tampon with a towel has been inadvisable. Examples are, after a difficult birth involving a forceps delivery, and after gynaecological surgery.
Because these Dr Whites looped towels do not have a plastic waterproof backing, I have been able to benefit from the absorption power of using more than one towel at a time. I have then had, as my last line of protection, the everyday stick-on towel in my underwear.
If you don't also need a waterproof last layer, you don't have to worry about it "rustling" when you move!
== Availability ==
This is a problem. Retailers stocking these are rare.
They are currently showing on Boots website at £2.35 for a pack of 10. However, next to this are the words "Sorry currently out of stock." Boots aren't showing the belts for sale at all.
Retailers please note, if I were to need more gynecological surgery, I would gladly pay 4 times this price PROVIDED THEY WERE READILY AVAILABLE.
Since typing that I would pay extra, I have seen for sale, from an eBay business seller, 10 Dr Whites towels plus the required sanitary belt for £9.99 plus £3 p&p. Another business seller has packs of 10 towels for £4.65 including postage.
Only one seller on Amazon UK is selling them for £3.91 inc postage, but they are currently showing as only having one pack left. There are currently no belts on this site
If I was due to have surgery soon, I would be stocking up while I still could.
They are soft, absorbent, and so comfortable.
There is no plastic backing, so you can benefit from using more than one at a time.
Although I have rarely needed to use this type of towel, the times when I have most benefitted from them are when I felt at my most vulnerable, and was filling a single towel in just half an hour.
I started using Dr.Whites when my periods started in the early 1980's. I tried many different press on towels since then but none really provide the same degree of security as looped towels worn with a belt. I don't get on with tampons and only use them rarely. Yes Dr Whites are more bulky than modern press on towels but I'm so used to them that that doesn't bother me at all. The adjustable sanitary belts you buy do slip down a bit so several years ago I had a go at making one to my own design, its non-elastic and sits closely on my hips; I used the hooks from an old Dr. White's belt. I've made several since and they really are a huge improvement, the towel is held much closer to my body and never slips or bunches up. My periods are quite heavy nowadays and I need a substantial towel at nights, Dr. Whites are by far my preferred form of protection.
I also like wearing Dr Whites as I think they fit closer than press on towels & give your underwear better protection. I don't like the idea of tampons, especially knowing about Toxic Shock Syndrome.After 27 years of use, I can no longer buy them from Boots Chemist & am going to go direct to the manufacturers, the address is on the packets
I like wearing looped towels as I find that they fit closer to my body than press on towels I also prefer using them as I find they give better protection to my under wear as I find that when I wear press on towels some times they do not stick properly espicaly ones with wings. I think that Dr White's are about the best towles on the market but as they are getting harder to buy as the only places that I find that stock them nowdays are independent chemist's or boots. I will carry on wearing them until they are no longer easy to buy in my area. I think if Dr White's want more women to use them they should run an extenstive advertising campain on TV and radio and in womens magazines as I have never seen any advertising for them in the media of any kind
I don't like tampons and hardly ever wear panties so Dr Whites towels and belt are the ideal answer for me and I can have my period without having to wear constricting underwear.I find them particularly comfortable in hot weather when I stay really cool down below.
They may be a little large for lighter days and their absorbency is tested to the limit on heavier days and at night if I don't wear panties they move around a little ,so I have to be careful when I'm really flowing.
Surprisingly they turn my partner on particularly when I wear stockings and suspenders with my Dr Whites,as I have to do with work,or in the summer when I wear really short summer skirts with just my belt and pad on.Not sure I really appreciate that!
They are a little bulky to carry in the handbag and if wearing jeans I have to be careful the belt doesn't show above my jeans if I am sitting bending or squatting .
Hi folks, Until recently i have been using ordinary stick-on sanitary towels, i have never liked using Tampons so i guess pads were always my choice. I have recently started using Dr.White's looped sanitary towels and i have to say that i have been impressed! They are quite soft and although they do not have adhesive on the back they can be used with or without a sanitary belt.
Personally i prefer to use the belt with these pads because it holds the pad closer to my body. I have always found that stick pads when full tended to become heavey inside panties and while they were ok when sitting down when standing up they pulled away from where they were needed.
Dr.White's sanitary towels main advantage is that they hold close and i have worn them without panties [just pantyhose] and even with a thong and they are quite comfy and snug. Of course there is room for improvement in the absorbency department but the fact that there is no adhesive to ruin my knickers and that they feel secure with the belt i would have to say that they are now my favourite protection.

RPI researchers grow 'nanoblades'
Post a comment
MANHASSET, N.Y. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a razor-like nanoblades that could have applications in energy storage and fuel cell technology.
Nanoblades are first-of-their-kind magnesium nanomaterials that challenge the conventional wisdom about nanostructure growth, according to the researchers.
The sharp nanometer-scale surface is different from other nanomaterials created using oblique angle deposition, according to lead researcher Gwo-Ching Wang, professor and head of physics, applied physics and astronomy at RPI.
|Side view of RPI's nanoblades.
The team's nearly two-dimensional structure changes the traditional understanding of oblique angle deposition, which was previously thought to create only cylindrical structures like nanorods or nanosprings.
Unlike 3D springs and rods, nanoblades are extremely thin, with relatively large surface areas. They also are surprisingly dispersed for a uniform nanomaterial, with one to two micron meters in between each blade, according to Wang.
The materials could be extremely useful for energy storage, particularly hydrogen storage, Wang said. In order to store hydrogen, a large surface area is needed to provide room for the material to expand as more hydrogen atoms are stored. The vast surface area of each nanoblade, coupled with the large spaces between each blade, could make them ideal for storage applications.
To create the nanoblades, the researchers used an oblique angle vapor deposition fab technique that builds nanostructures by vaporizing magnesium. Vaporized atoms are deposited on the surface at an angle. As the deposition angle changes, the structure of the material deposited on the surface also changes.
The reesearchers report that when the magnesium was deposited directly onto a surface at zero degrees, the blades were flat, flakey structures overlapping one another. When the deposition angle was increased blade-like structures became apparent.
The nearly vertical structures resembled nanoscale razor blades.
From the side, the nanoblades resemble an overgrown lawn with thin, blade-like spires. At a 75-degree angle, the nanoblades had a thickness of as little as 15 nanometers and a width of a few hundred nanometers.
The RPI researchers are now looking at ways to coat the magnesium nanoblades with metallic catalysts to trap and store hydrogen.
The researchers monitored the blades as they were growing using a reflection high-energy electron diffraction technique to create a surface pole figure or image. RPI's technique differs from other diffraction techniques such as X-rays by monitoring a material's surface structure as it grows. X-rays and other technologies measure the entire material, from the tip of the new growth straight through to the substrate on which the material is growing.
Tracking the surface evolution of the material provides insight into how the structure evolves over time and helps scientists understand the mechanism of nanostructure formation. The could allow engineers to recreate ideal nanomaterials in the future. The creation of surface pole figures was particularly important in understanding the growth of nanoblades, as the surface morphology changed dramatically over time.
The discovery is detailed in the September 2007 issue of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

HOUSTON (AP) Time is running out for Arthur An dersen LLP to settle criminal and civil cases as a May 6 federal trial on obstruction charges looms in Houston, high-profile clients bolt and more partners consider joining other auditing firms.
A breakdown in negotiations with federal prosecutors to settle the criminal case this week has increased uncertainty as to whether the Chicago-based firm will keep fighting or dissolve.
When asked about the prospects of bankruptcy, Andersen spokesman Patrick Dorton reiterated Friday: "We have no intention to pursue that course."
But many observers see it as an increasing likelihood.
"It's like a patient that is bleeding and a new artery bursts," Arthur Bowman, editor of the Atlanta-based Bow man's Accounting report, said Friday. "Eventually the bleeding just can't be stopped."
In January, Andersen acknowledged shredding audit documents and deleting computer files related to Enron Corp.'s audits at its Houston offices after the Securities and Exchange Commission started looking into Enron's murky accounting last October.
Andersen is burdened by shareholder lawsuits, a federal indictment for obstruction of justice, a loss of clients that forced thousands of layoffs and the defection of partners from about two dozen countries whose operations were part of Andersen Worldwide, the global umbrella that oversees U.S. arm Arthur Andersen. Rivals also have moved to acquire its tax practice and its auditing operations.
The firm had appeared close to settlements with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission as talks continued to settle claims against the firm in the shareholder lawsuits filed in Houston.
But the abrupt end to negotiations regarding the obstruction charge on Thursday doesn't bode well for Andersen's hopes of survival, even though the firm left open the chance that talks could resume.
"The longer this goes on, the more clients they're losing," said Randolph Beatty, dean of the Leventhal School of Accounting at the University of Southern California-Marshall. "And if there isn't a settlement soon, there may be no clients to talk about. Almost surely people at Andersen recognize that time is of the essence."
Bowman doubted Andersen would give up on settling the obstruction case and turn its attention to the May 6 trial. A felony conviction would prohibit the firm from auditing publicly traded companies.
Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor and an expert on white-collar crime, said Friday that the government also is better off settling.
He said the government's strategy has been to pressure Andersen into a plea deal that included full cooperation from the firm's partners and employees in prosecutors' pursuit of Enron.
"Andersen from the outset was viewed by the government as a key stepping stone to building a case against Enron," Mintz said Friday. "It's not a disaster for the government if they have to play this out in front of a jury, but that doesn't play into the government's strategy here."
Andersen's attorney, Rusty Hardin, didn't return a call seeking comment.
The hemorrhaging of Andersen's clients continued Friday.
Scientific-Atlanta Inc., one of the largest makers of cable TV boxes, was among the latest publicly traded companies to bolt. At least 249 of the approximately 2,300 public companies that began the year with Andersen as their auditor have now replaced it, according to Auditor Trak, a service of Atlanta-based Strafford Publications, Inc.
Andersen also reportedly had about 32,000 private, mostly smaller companies as clients last year. It's not known how many have defected.
Meanwhile, Andersen has agreed to sell a portion of its tax business to Deloitte & Touche LLP, with more than 200 of its U.S. partners expected to leave for the competing firm once the deal becomes final, a person familiar with the matter said Friday. The decision ends a two-week battle and passes over an offer from the leveraged-buyout firm Fox & Paine.
Dorton declined comment, saying only that the firm is considering a number of options.
Sales of some practices can raise cash to help Andersen stay afloat, settle claims and emerge as a smaller, audit-only firm as envisioned by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, head of a special oversight board named by Andersen in February.
But eventually, Beatty said, the client loss will overcome those gains if efforts to settle criminal and civil claims keep failing to produce agreements.

Robert Altman's next movie has a location. The director, famed for his ensemble casts, will bring Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, and Lily Tomlin to a St. Paul, Minn., theater for his adaptation of Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion. "As a longtime Keillor fan, I'm thrilled to be doing this project with him," director Robert Altman recently told the St. Paul Star Tribune.
Keillor wrote the movie's script and will be playing a character named, well, Keillor. The comedy is about a long-running radio show that's suddenly canceled after 30 years on the air. As the cast and crew prepare for the last live broadcast, secret love affairs, jealousies, and feuds come to a boil, taxing the patience of a stage manager struggling to hold the show together. Streep and Tomlin play Bonnie and Rhonda Johnson, the two remaining performers of a five-sister country music act, with Lohan as Streep's daughter. Altman has directed more than 30 films and received five Academy Award nominations for best director. His films include M*A*S*H, Nashville, The Player, Short Cuts, and Gosford Park. (AP)

Title: The Distance to the Antennae Galaxy
Abstract: The Antennae Galaxy (NGC 4038/39) is a key member of Toomre sequence of merging galaxies, and an important astrophysical laboratory for a host of exotic objects, such as ultra luminous x-ray sources, super star clusters, and tidal dwarf galaxies. Yet the distance to the system is extremely controversial, with recent estimates ranging from 13.3 Mpc (Saviane \etal 2008) to 22.3 Mpc (Schweizer \etal 2008). Since this uncertainty effects all our astrophysical measurements, it is vital that the question be settled. We propose to measure the distance to the Antennae galaxy using the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function. If the distance to the Antennae is ~ 13 Mpc, an [O III] (lambda) 5007, H(alpha), and broadband survey of the galaxy with the CTIO 4-m telescope will be able to detect ~ 100 PNe with one night of observing; if the distance is ~ 22.3 Mpc, the survey will take ~ 3 nights. Either way, we will be able to produce a definitive distance to this important system. Finally, if the closer distance is correct, our survey will also produce a large sample of PNe for a future kinematic study of the galaxy.

SAN RAMON — The Smith brothers — Tommy, Patrick and Edward, all cops — swapped stories the last time they got together Sunday night, at a restaurant bar after they had watched the 49ers game.
They didn't talk about when they'd meet next. Families in law enforcement rarely do.
"We were just fantasizing about what we were going to do, our three lives together, with the wives and the kids," said Patrick Smith, a Newark police officer.
When they parted that night, the tight-knit brothers said goodbye like they always do.
"Love you," they said. "Stay safe."
On Wednesday, brothers Patrick and Edward were left to say goodbye to their little brother, Tommy, one last time. He was killed by a fellow BART officer Tuesday during a search of a robbery suspect's apartment in Dublin.
The surviving Smith brothers gathered with their wives and children Wednesday at Tommy's hillside home in San Ramon, trying to make sense of the shocking tragedy that left their family suffering. Even as they grieved, they thought of the officer who had fired the fatal shot, and the impact the incident would have on his family.
"It's a tragic loss for us and a tragedy for them," Patrick Smith said. "I can't imagine what they're going through."
BART officers were stationed Wednesday outside the East Bay home of Officer Michael Maes, who sources confirmed is the colleague who shot Smith. An officer outside Maes' home said the family would not comment and asked that the family's privacy be respected.
Exactly how and why Smith, 42, was killed in the friendly-fire incident is still a mystery. BART officials said little at a news conference Wednesday. The investigation is being conducted by the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, the same office where the oldest Smith brother works as a deputy.
The three brothers graduated from Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward and all lived within 20 minutes of each other in the East Bay; in their 20s, they all played on the same softball team. Their father, who ran the family's office supply company until he died four years ago, sponsored the team. Their mother kept score. On Friday nights, they would all gather for pizza and beer.
Although the youngest of the three, Tommy Smith was the first to join law enforcement, signing on as a cadet for BART police when he was just 19. He worked his way up to sergeant, leading the detective unit at the time of his death and earning the admiration of his colleagues.
BART police Sgt. Jason Ledford remembered one time in particular when Smith was searching for a robbery suspect on a stopped BART train in North Oakland. Smith pulled his patrol car to the shoulder of a freeway adjacent to the tracks. When he heard what sounded like a shot fired, he jumped over a barbed wire fence, jumped the third rail, crossed the tracks and climbed up on the platform, scrambling to back up his fellow officer and protect the public he was sworn to serve.
"He thought I was involved in a shooting," Ledford said. "Afterward I thought about that. That's wild, to do what he did."
Smith had their backs, and all the guys on the force knew it.
Lt. Lance Haight, a 17-year veteran on BART police, said that Smith, like all the officers, knew the inherent dangers of the job.
Still, he said, "I can remember more than once him commenting that BART police never had a fatality and how fortunate we were for that."
Smith was part of the team working to improve the training of BART officers in the aftermath of the Oscar Grant shooting, when a BART police officer shot Grant in the back on New Year's Day 2009. That officer, now no longer with the BART police, told investigators that he meant to reach for a stun gun.
When a BART officer fatally shot a homeless man at a San Francisco station in 2011, it was Smith who was tasked to explain the agency's response to a citizen advisory board.
"We had some members who were anti-police, regardless of how well the job was done," said Suzanne Angeli, a member of that board who also worked at BART for decades. "He handled those people extremely well. He handled racial issues extremely well. He didn't let things fluster him."
Smith and his wife and daughter were always together, neighbors said, playing in the front yard, washing the family cars or taking their dog, Boris, a retired K-9 German Shepherd, on walks. Last summer, they watched as Smith taught his daughter to ride a two-wheeler. On Christmas, the trio walked across the street to share a plate of Christmas cookies with the Patel family.
"He was a great family man," said Sejal Patel, 40. "He was such a down-to-earth person. You wouldn't think he was a cop. He was very soft-spoken."
At Smith's neatly landscaped home in a newer development, his brother Patrick said the family can't imagine life without him. The retirement the three brothers talked about sharing that Sunday night at the restaurant, the years they would play golf together and go to high school football games when their kids are teenagers won't happen the way they envisioned.
"Nobody knows what to do," he said.
The little cousins have lost their "Uncle Tommy," who was the first one to pitch them whiffle balls, shoot hoops or drive through two hours of traffic to watch one of their sports games.
"He was a hell of a father, a hell of a son, uncle and brother," he said. "What are you going to do? You can't replace that."

Obsessed with "The Hunger Games"....
Thought I was in "The Hunger Games"....
Or actually believed myself to have morphed into "Katniss."
(I would probably encourage anyone who has no idea about this book to stop reading now because I promise it will make no sense..just an FYI for you)
Everyone told me to read this darn book but me, being completely stubborn, thought I would rise above the "hype."
I've never been one to do that but for some reason I thought that....this time...this book...would not make me all crazy-like for itself and the charachters.
I was probably the first person in line for the Twilight book, and then the movies and now own the whole lot of them. In fact, Dave's only competition to date has been Edward Cullen. But I only like him in vampire form so Dave know's he's safe. :) haha..anyways...
Okay, so you see my resolve to try and not read these books.
But then my sister...my darn cutie patutie sister..
(oh yes, and you didn't think I'd pass up an opportunity to showcase my cutie patutie daughter too did you? :))
...sent me these books for my birthday!!!
It's like she's literally trying to kill me!!!
Amber's thoughts: Can I really afford to fall in love with Peeta and Gale too after all Dave's been through with Edward?
Amber's thoughts: No.No I can't. And not to mention the heartache of going through everything with the charachters and the time suck of it all and the fact I'm 29 now and supposed to be maturing with age in wisdom and stature and....!?!?
Amber's thoughts. BUT NOW MY SISTER HAS GONE AND DONE IT BECAUE I'M PHYSICALLY HOLDING THE BOOK!!
So. Let's all guess the end of this.
I'll give you a hint.
I am 2 books in and dreaming about firebombs and being hungry and trying to survive and save my family all the while trying not toget eaten by the wolves that look like people.
I should warn Dave that if me and Clara are completely dressed in camoflauge when he gets home from work tonight to not be alarmed....
We'll simply be Katniss...
and Katniss 2 (because I"m not sure how else Clara could fit into the book) :)
Yep...There we are...The Girl Tributes
We do this for our families survival people.

How can I get the seat layout of a
It's easier than you think. Most airlines post layouts on their websites. On britishairways.com you will find general seat maps that indicate where the exits, galleys, and lavatories are. Click on Information, and then, under On Board, click on Seat Maps .
Taking it further, websites like SeatGuru.com and SeatExpert.com analyze the configurations and divulge seat information that the airlines typically do not. Both sites have interactive graphics, allowing you to click on a specific color-coded seat (green means good; yellow, beware; and red, poor) to find out what its pros and cons are. For instance, one seat might have limited foot space because of storage boxes while another might have extra legroom but an immovable armrest.
Some of the information may seem obvious, like being near the lavatories can be noisy or sitting in the middle seat cramped, but overall they are useful sites for travelers looking to make their flights more comfortable.

m. dogwrote a review of Arbor Wasteland Snowboard on December 8, 2009
Great all-arounder, not for jibbers
This board is so solid. I rode it in a 155, which is shorter than I ever ride and it mobbbed through everything. Great board and even though it's pretty pricey I'd say relative to some other boards I've ridden it's worth the coin.

If you were one of those hankering to get a little bit more buttoned up this year, but haven't quite gotten off the mark, what's holding you back?
Are you overwhelmed and wondering where to start? Are you too busy? No matter the excuse, we've put together a list of 10 simple things you can do today, this week or this month to get you on your way to a neater, more organized life.
1. Enlist the troops
If you find you're just too busy and can't find the time to get organized, you need to learn the power of delegation. Enlist the help of family members or roommates by using a laminated calendar and dry-erase markers to list chores/errands/tasks for each person to do each week. This step alone will get everyone in your home more organized, and that makes less "tornado" cleanup work for you! If you don't have people to share the load, consider enlisting the help of a buddy to get you motivated, or hiring a professional to get you started.
2. Use the "One-A-Week" goal
Focus is a powerful thing. Pick one, and only one, area of your home a week to spend an hour or two reorganizing or cleaning. Whether it's the pantry, closet or bathroom drawers, set the time and date and be done. Trying to spend a whole Saturday doing a super sweep clean may work once in a while, but it usually just leads to an aggravated and exhausted family and a frustrated you.
3. Take a commercial break
Anytime you're watching TV, take the time during commercials to tidy up one room of the house. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish.
4. Start a family agenda
If schedules are hectic, one central family "appointment" book where everyone in the house writes in all school, work, social, athletic and other commitments will eliminate a lot of headaches. If you keep it in a central spot, the whole family can get up to speed quickly without relying on one person (Mom) to know everyone's schedule, reducing chances that someone will be double-booked by mistake.
5. Set up a mail center
The mail pile is a problem area for many people. To keep yours under control, set up a mail center in your foyer, hallway or kitchen. The most essential part of your mail station: a stylish recycling bin for all of that unsightly junk mail that makes its way into your mailbox each day. Try a mail depot with different compartments for each member of the household, plus a separate one for catalogs and magazines.
6. Can the spam!
If you have e-mail and you haven't set up your spam filters, you could save yourself at least five minutes a day by eliminating or at least seriously curbing unsolicited e-mails that you have to deal with. You'll not only save time by ensuring you receive only your most important messages, you'll reduce the potential of getting a virus.
7. Start a YUNK box
Do you have papers that you are holding onto, not because you need them, but because you're afraid that if you throw them out, you might just need them? If so, you should start a YUNK box. YUNK stands for "YoU Never Know," the perfect name for those betwixt-and-between files. Your box can be a simple cardboard box, a durable plastic container or even an accordion file – whatever works for you. You may also want to create one for holding the magazine pages, brochures and photos that inspire you or represent things you want to try or do someday (such as that brochure showcasing the relaxing vacation in the Caribbean, a wine label or the picture of a dream house).
8. Clear clutter from your car
Is your car a rolling junk bin? Improve the environment you spend so much time in by grabbing a trash bag and sifting through the clutter, throwing away garbage or junk. Don't forget to check the glove compartment and seat back pockets for unnecessary items. The whole process shouldn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes.
9. Organize family paperwork one week at a time
We all know we should organize our most important documents and family information, but it can seem like a daunting task. Get a binder with six tabs and create six sections: family basics, emergency plan, medical information, insurance, finances and legal. Take one week at a time to organize the information for each area.
10. Simple file
If you don't have a filing system, get started with a simple one. Get 13 hanging folders with labels and make space in a portable file box or cabinet drawer. Label 10 files: Home, Medical, Family, School/Work, Dental, Legal, Credit Card, Bank, Insurance, Taxes. Make two miscellaneous, and one active. Put anything you'll need for the next week or two in the Active file so it's easy to get to.

A Felt + Rubber rug pad offers the best of both cushioning and grip. Superior Lock is ideal for those looking to maximize cushion with rugs that need grip. Felt and rubber pads also do a fantastic job of promoting rug evenness and preventing bunching that can occur with thinner, lower pile rugs that tend to bunch or knot up easily. The felt surface layer fastens itself to the bottom of your area rug while the natural rubber backing keeps rugs firmly anchored to the floor.

Wycombe dealt double blow
Paul Lambert has confirmed that Scott Shearer and Jamie Young have both been ruled out for prolonged periods.
By James Dall
Last Updated: 27/09/07 4:06pm
Wycombe Wanderers boss Paul Lambert has confirmed that goalkeepers Scott Shearer and Jamie Young both face prolonged spells on the sidelines.
Shearer has broken an ankle in training, while Young's hamstring injury is worse than was first feared.
Medical reports revealed that Young's injury is more complicated than initially thought, and the Australian is likely to be out for months rather than weeks.
Emergency loan
Lambert confirmed the double blow and revealed that he now plans to act quickly in bringing in an experienced replacement.
"This is unbelievably bad news. We were just coming to terms with Jamie's injury when Scott snapped his ankle during training when he caught his studs in the turf," he told the club's official website.
"We're just left with two untried youngsters so we've obviously got to get a goalkeeper in on loan and we've got to act quickly."

In today's paper, Tom Benning reported that local officials are moving forward with a new urgency to develop the Cotton Belt Corridor, a 62-mile rail project that would connect Plano to Fort Worth:
Specifics about the public-private partnership remain murky — especially since the consortium has yet to submit a formal proposal — but the need for the Legislature to approve some form of a municipal management district establishes clear deadlines for getting all the parties on board.
The Legislature convenes in January. Bills must be filed by early March. The session ends in the summer. And barring a special session, the Legislature won't meet again until 2015.
"We really do need to meet the Legislature's timeline to get this done," said Ron Natinsky, a consultant to the private group. "Without the creation of the [special district], along with all the other pieces, the project doesn't happen."
That means local governments and rail agencies, along with the Council of Governments, are scrambling to form the necessary partnerships to expedite the project and make sure the proper steps are taken ahead of the legislative session.
Plano took one step forward at this week's City Council meeting by approving the purchase of a 6.7 tract of land at the intersection of Shiloh Road and 14th Street.
The purchase was included in the council's consent agenda, meaning it was approved unanimously at the start of the meeting without any discussion. But meeting documents indicate that the city plans to use the land "for future development as a passenger station for the Cotton Belt Rail."
The land, owned by Argent Realty LP, costs $1 million. The city expects to be reimbursed for that money by the North Central Texas Council of Government's Regional Transportation Council.
Aside from the obvious reason that people will want to know where it is so they can ride the train to the airport and Fort Worth, the train stop's location is important because local officials are expecting the stops to generate residential, retail and office developments nearby. In fact, that expected development was listed by Benning as one of the possible revenue sources for the rail line.
No firm timeline has been established yet for the project's completion.
