Crab dinner inspires cancer-removing robot
They say you can find inspiration anywhere, so why not a crab dinner?
Inspired by our crustacean friends, researchers in Singapore have created a mini robot that can be used to remove early-stage stomach cancer in a far less invasive way than other procedures. The robot has the ability to crawl down a patient's throat and features a pincer and hook that can remove cancerous tissue.
The idea first came up in 2004 when Lawrence Ho, an enterologist at Singapore's National University Hospital, and Louis Phee, an associate professor at Nanyang Technological Institute's School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, had dinner with Hong Kong surgeon Sydney Chung, who is well-known for his fight against SARS.
While dining on Singapore's signature chili crab dish, Chung suggested the two use the crab as a prototype, making note of the strength of a crab's pincers and its ability to pick up sand. … Read more

Subaru Impreza Gear box's are a call or a click away with Find a Part. Fill in the free car parts request form, or give us a call. We will then contact selected Subaru Impreza gear box suppliers throughout the UK, who will contact you if they have the Subaru Impreza Gear box you need.
Gear boxes, why do we need them ? Well - engines typically work at between 600 and 7000 revs per minute. Wheels rotate at between 0 and 1800 revs per minute. Because of the difference in the speed of an engine, and the speed of a wheel, a gear box is needed to sit between the two to translate engine speed to wheel speed.
Engines have narrow revs per minute ranges for maximum horsepower and torque. For example, an engine might produce its maximum horsepower at 5,500 rpm. The gear box, or transmission in USA, allows the gear ratio between engine and drive wheels to change as the car speeds up and slows down. When driving a car, you shift gears so the engine can stay close to its most efficient performance level at most speeds.

3 days 22 hours ago | History would say 2-3 |
Given the schedule, that seems about right although I could see winning one of the tough 3. On the flip side, we have a really good shot at winning all of our home games next year. But I see a 9-3 season for 2014. Then in 2015, we edge up to 10-2 (losing at Utah and PSU), but win the B1G East and the B1G. |
1 week 18 hours ago | Don - do you think it would be bigger than the 96 upset? |
I feel it would be equivalent. |
1 week 19 hours ago | Come on Magnus |
No one wants to see a bunch of clearly articulated facts pointing to a loss! Why don't you white out the words and just add a few more pictures to balance it out..... |
1 week 20 hours ago | Mattison was our DC in 1995 and 1996 |
We upset Ohio each time 31-23 and 13-9. The 1996 season was very similar to this one. The Buckeyes were blowing people out, undefeated, 10-0, and ranked #2. Meanwhile we were 7-3 with a solid defense and an anemic offense under 2nd year OC Fred Jackson (Fred said our offense was like the speed of light but faster and like Atlas but stronger......). We had even lost at Purdue 9-3. Yet the defense kept us in the game and we rebounded from a 9-0 deficit at the half. Michigan 20, Ohio 17 |
5 weeks 4 days ago | Their 89 game against Illinois was a classic |
Leading 10-7 with under 2 minutes to go, they just needed to run out the clock. I actually think they could have just taken a knee but they chose to plunge into the line with their back, Hylant Hickson. He of course fumbled and Jeff George drove Illinois for a TD and the win. It's actually a pet peeve of mine when coaches decide to run between the tackles when they could just take a knee. You still see it quite often. At the end of the first half, maybe the logic is that you could break a big run but it seems like the risk of fumbling and giving up points is greater than ripping off a 60+ yard run on the last play of the half. But you see it at the end of games as well. We may have even been able to just take a knee against Indiana this year at the end when Fitz rumbled for the TD but not sure. |
6 weeks 2 days ago | Bo |
5-4-1 vs Woody |
6 weeks 3 days ago | Like the chart. |
Any chance you could add Notre Dame and maybe the other 3 teams we played. Would be interesting to see where they fall compared to who we still have to play. |
6 weeks 6 days ago | Moeller was the coach in 1991 |
Bo gave up 40 to Missouri his first year and never gave up 40 or more again. |
7 weeks 11 min ago | Maybe it's supposed to be but it's not. |
The 1995 5-0 Purdue game in the rain/sleet was never more than 75% full for example. I was there and stayed to the end. It was cool actually, I just followed the line of scrimmage in about row 20 for the 4th quarter. Couldn't have been more than 25,000 there at the end. |
7 weeks 16 min ago | This board is extremely fragile as of late. |
Hoke is 24-8 as a coach. He has a Sugar Bowl win. Hard to crucify him over 1 loss. Plus, look at all the other top teams losing this year and every year in college football. Just this week, #5 Stanford at Utah, #8 Louisville at home against UCF. |
7 weeks 22 min ago | I think they announce the higher of ticket sales or actual. |
In that mid 70s game, was it not a sellout? |
7 weeks 24 min ago | How do you get 30 with Gibbons 2-2? |
Wile makes one? We go for 2 after all 3 TDs? We miss all extra points after 4 TDs? |
7 weeks 1 hour ago | 42-28 Michigan |
Hoke to 19-0 at home! |
7 weeks 3 days ago | It is frustrating. |
Borges doesnt seem to make in-game adjustments very well. It is as if the plan was determined earlier and we go with the plan, regardless of how it is working. I will say that our offense is much better than a GERG defense though. Our scoring offense is ranked 22nd right now and while I didnt look it up, I think GERG's defenses were ranked in the 100 range. |
7 weeks 4 days ago | Great post! |
One question though. How many teams have tried to score a TD with under a minute and 80 yards to go? You mentioned 6 made it. I was wondering what the percentage was. Thanks! |
7 weeks 6 days ago | Treadwell |
Anything seems better. Doesn't Funk report to Borges? Don't see how the O Line issues don' t roll up to him. |
11 weeks 1 day ago | Actually we were on our 45 |
It was 4th and 1. I thought we should have gone for it. I would be curious what the Mathlete would think. |
19 weeks 2 days ago | Totally agree Don. |
I remember going there as a kid around when it opened thinking how stupid a really steep big staircase is on a stadium used for winter sports. Olympia had charm like Yost. I understand a pro team needed more than charm, but Joe Louis seemed to miss the boat on everything but more seats. The Palace opened about a decade later and seemed significantly better. |
23 weeks 4 days ago | Agree with the above on Bo. |
Also Bo's Lasting Lessons, I think by John Bacon. 3 and out if you want the Richrod saga. There is also a book by Jon Faulk that is interesting, I can't remember the name. |
25 weeks 1 day ago | If you read the article |
They play ASU this year and next. They also play us this year and next. Not sure how you concluded they replaced us with ASU. |
25 weeks 4 days ago | I was just happy to see a M hockey thread! |
Given the new B1G hockey conference and the greatest schedule since I have followed Michigan Hockey (25 seasons, I am old....), I really think there should be more hype. Hopefully, this year's schedule is indicative of future year's as well. |
31 weeks 2 hours ago | We hired a guy named Bo once. |
He worked for some Ohio team. Come to think of it, we hired a guy named Mo that played for that same Ohio team. Those hires worked out pretty well! |
31 weeks 6 days ago | I am with you. |
I figured the blue jackets have about 7 fans. Hard to picture Columbus truck drivers yelling Let's Go Blue.....Jackets. |
31 weeks 6 days ago | They got it |
They just need to tie in regulation. They are up 3-0 with 1:19 to go and on power play. |
31 weeks 6 days ago | The Wings could do well in the playoffs. |
They have really come on of late. If Yale can win as the last team in, no reason the Wings can't win as a 7th seed. |
33 weeks 1 day ago | Comparable team to this year |
I think we will be in a position to challenge in the B1G for the title and be a 3-4 seed in the tourney. Likely make the Sweet Sixteen but probably not a Final Four team. Hope I am wrong on the latter part. |
33 weeks 6 days ago | There always seems to be outliers every game. |
I don't understand it. But I went to the 2002 ND game (atND) with 3 guys from work and 1 guy wore a Charlie Batch Detroit Lions jersey......... |
35 weeks 6 days ago | The B1G needs to win National Titles for respect nationwide. |
Since our win in 1989, the B1G has only 1title, State in 2000. That's pretty bad. During that timespan the ACC, Big East and SEC have quite a few. And it's not just blueboods like Duke, NC and Kentucky although they have 10 in that stretch I believe. Schools like Arkansas, Maryland, UNLV, Arizona, Syracuse each have a title. UConn came out of nowhere and won 3. |
36 weeks 3 days ago | I like the high profile games. |
But I wish more were at home. Due to the Joe game against MSU, only 9 home conference games. Then the 2 Boston games, 2 Tech games and maybe 2 Ferris games is only 15 home games. I count 33 games not counting playoffs. 15 home, 15 away, 3 neutral (Joe and GLI). I guess there probably will still be the lesser games to fill out the home schedule like the exhibition games against a Canada college team and the Under 18 team. Sucks not to have any home playoff games. Still, glad to see the Boston teams and I would guess we will get New Hampshire next year. |
38 weeks 5 days ago | Either |
Win the B1G tourney and make the Elite 8 or Make the Final Four Otherwise, this season isnt a success. Tying for 4th regular season is an underachievement so the team has ground to make up. |

Engineering Schools, Insurance Companies, and Other Influential Institutions
There are a host of institutions at the periphery of this study that obviously play an influential role in the achievement of public safety objectives. These institutions interact with private standards-setting in ways that are not well understood and deserve more attention. The rest of this chapter contains speculation about the policy implications of the influence of three "external" institutions on private standards-setting.
The discussion is organized in decreasing order of speculativeness. That is, the institutions most peripheral to the case studies, about which only the most tentative statements are possible, are discussed first.
Engineering Schools . One important institutional influence on standards-setting comes through engineering education. The influence is diffuse and difficult to measure but nevertheless important in shaping the ethics that predominate in the private sector. Engineering education has been criticized for being too narrow in focus.[25] This study does not examine the details of engineering education, but it supports the conclusion that revisions might improve private standards-setting. A greater educational emphasis on economic trade-offs and human factors might improve the reasonableness of standards in two ways, respectively making them less demanding when the benefits are low and more demanding when human factors account for significant injuries.
Building Code Organizations . By design, this study also concentrates on "paired" public and private cases. In reality, however, private standards typically come in connected pairs or interlocking webs. The tendency of the private sector to separate product standards from installation and use codes is exemplified by the division of labor between UL and NFPA. The symbiotic relationship between these organizations is somewhat mysterious, and at times problematic. Matters are complicated further by the process through which these standards most often become law: municipal building codes. Building codes draw on the efforts of NFPA and UL, as well as those of various regional building code conferences—organizations that draft model building codes. The importance of the linkages between all these standards is clear. How to improve building code enforcement and achieve better coordination between installation codes and product standards is not. Perhaps the recently abandoned federal housing code deserves reconsideration. Possibly the government should institute a mechanism for bringing together those who write installation codes and product standards. Without improvements in the enforcement of building codes or the integration of design and use standards, it appears likely that some improvements in private standards will ultimately prove ineffective.
Insurance Companies . Insurance companies are also key actors affecting public safety. Not only do they spread risk, but, through
insurance underwriting, they determine which risks are insurable and at what rate. If premiums accurately reflect risk, then insurance can help internalize externalities and improve public safety. Several major standards-setting organizations, including UL and NFPA, trace their origins to the insurance industry. Safety standards help insurers in two ways: (1) they provide convenient underwriting criteria, and (2) they promote general loss control. But what about the reverse influence—that is, how insurance companies affect standards-setting? Two possible influences are indicated by the case studies. Both seem rather weak, however, suggesting the potential for improvement.
The first way insurers affect standards-setting is with information. Insurance companies identify problems and manage information. In theory, they should be able to provide standards-setters with helpful data on the size and nature of various hazards because insurers pool information on claims through institutions such as the Insurance Services Organization. In practice, however, insurers apparently contribute little useful information to standards-setting efforts. An insurance company representative testifying in favor of the CPSC woodstove rule was embarrassed by questions about the actual magnitude of the problem. In an analysis of residential fire insurance, David Hemenway concludes that "the insurance industry has not been especially helpful in providing useful [loss control] data." He suggests several policies that might improve the situation, but all require further study."[26]
Second, as one of the primary users of safety standards, insurers are potential watchdogs for the quality of these standards. Unlike many participants in standards-setting whose interests are vested in particular products, insurance companies have a purer motive: reducing losses. Insurers certainly make use of these standards. Product liability insurers require compliance with UL and AGA standards. Some grain elevator insurers require compliance with NFPA 61B. But the case studies suggest that insurers are not very demanding users of private standards-setters. They are seldom involved enough in the details of particular hazards to know a good standard when they see one. Insurers play almost no role in the NFPA committees on aviation fire safety, even though individual fires can be catastrophic. The grain elevator standard is sadly lacking in critical areas of grain elevator safety, but reinsurers are apparently unaware that more effective standards for safety are possible. Moreover, in neither the grain elevator case nor the woodstove case does it appear that the premiums charged by insurance companies reflect differences in risk. Airline
officials also contend that their premiums have nothing to do with their loss control efforts.
This study suggests that insurance companies could improve the quality of private standards if they were more demanding. A small reinsurance company was apparently instrumental in getting UL to change its requirements for metal chimneys. But the low priority that many insurance companies seem to place on loss control has been noted by Hemenway.[27] How to maximize the potential of insurance as a regulator of risk has long been a puzzle in the area of workers compensation. Somehow, the critical role of insurers as assessors and regulators of risk should be more widely recognized so that these issues are addressed in various areas of public safety.

Rivalries aren't always scripted to be played out between the game's elite on the grandest of stages, but that matters little to 82nd-ranked Japanese Tatsuma Ito and Aussie wildcard John Millman, with their latest battle stretching to five sets on Monday night at Australian Open 2013.
After nearly three and a half hours on Court 3, the 184th-ranked Millman fell agonisingly short of a remarkable win, fighting back from two sets down and having held a break point to serve for the match.
Ito collapsed to his back in jubilation when Millman's final forehand framed into the stands, allowing the Japanese player to follow his far more celebrated countryman Kei Nishikori into the second round with a 6-4 6-3 3-6 0-6 7-5 result.
It is the second time already this year the pair had played, with Millman taking the honours before his home crowd in the opening round in Brisbane a fortnight ago.
After losing three matches to Ito last year – all in Asia, all on hardcourts on the Challenger circuit – Millman had joked with Ito he'd get him on his fourth attempt.
He had lived up to his word, and after looking the fitter of the two in the latter stages of their Melbourne Park match, it seemed he would close the gap once more on their fledgling hardcourt rivalry.
Ito was first to break in the deciding set, surging to 4-1. Millman quickly brought terms back on serve, but then dropped to love with a double fault.
With Ito serving for the match, Millman again mounted a comeback, ripping a backhand winner up the line before breaking for 4-5.
It would be the last time the Japanese player would falter, fighting off break point at 5-6 before breaking the Queenslander to love for a second-round date with either Marcos Baghdatis or Albert Ramos.

ALBANY, GA -- Local businesses around Albany could be seeing a financial lift as tax season approaches. Officials with the United States Small Business Administration are reporting that due to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, small businesses are being given several opportunities to lower those tax numbers. The new law extends the research and experimentation tax credit, which allows businesses to deduct the cost of certain new and used property placed in service for the year, and allows businesses a tax credit for hiring military veterans or those that come from undeserved communities, and have faced barriers to gain employment. Stay connected with the FOX 31 Newscast at 10 and mysouthwestga.com for more info on small businesses in the coming months.

What Will Be The Future Of The Llenroc Estate?
Filed under: Estates
One of my favorite commenters Spectacular Bid let me know about the sad situation of the Kolath Mansion, a property we've covered before as the Llenroc Estate in Rexford, New York. The home, which was listed at $12.9 million in 2007 was recently on the market for $30 million.
But last week, the owner Mathai Kolath George, his son George Kolath, and St. Mary's Hospital doctor Krishnan Raghavan were killed when their small plane crashed just after takeoff. George was licensed as a student pilot by the Federal Aviation Administration and owned the plane and Raghavan was a certified commercial pilot and certified instructor. Investigations into why the plane went down are ongoing. What will happen to this property is unclear currently.

There shouldn't be any problem for a reasonably trained infantry unit to form square when charged by cavalry (assuming cavalry are trotting, and that a well trained battalion can form square in 20 seconds - though militia or conscripts would be rather different).
Say cavalry charge infantry. The infantry form square. The cavalry duly trot back but stay within 12" of the square (see page 74 for the reason why!). Then their accompanying horse artillery open fire at the square. The infantry are stuck in square, and they no have to weather artillery fire. The chances are the infantry will be shaken so next turn they can be charged by the cavalry. I think the BP rules rather cleverly promote very historical tactics.
For examples of the effect of tactics of cuirassiers forcing infantry to form square and then subjecting the square to close range grape from horse artillery, read Siborne "The Waterloo Campaign" (which is on Google books - it is still the most exciting and most detailed account of the battle).
Incidentally - a question for Rick/others:
Enfilading a square. On page 49 it states that a target that has its flank exposed to a shooter is enfiladed. So presumably squares are enfiladed because they always have a flank exposed to the shooter. That makes sense to me - an extremely dense target like a square should be horribly vulnerable to shooting, especially artillery. But on re-reading pages 74-75 nothing is explicitly stated that squares count as enfiladed. So do squares count as enfiladed?

Ask him about that silly picture of him "skeet" shooting, inquiring minds want to know who´s idea that was........!!!!
Why? the election is over.Every darn day, there he is, or the horse he rode in on..everywhere..sick of his face and hers.
Does this guy *ever* stop chasing the narcissism? It´s amazing they´d allow him within 100 yards of anything game related - given his recent ´urging´ to ´tackle the violence inherent in football´...On the bright side, if any viewers find ´emselves having ingested anything less than ´healthy´ - and can´t find their Syrup of Ipecac - they can always tune in for some timely retch-inducing video...
I don´t care!There are still thousands of Hurricane Sandy victims without power. If we focused on them, Obama wouldn´t dare show his face right now.
Won´t find me watching the watered down pink shoe league. super bore
Whenever I think my contempt for this creature couldn´t possibly be greater than it is - - he gives me reasons to despise him even more.
Serious questions, like,"When is the mooch taking her first vacation of the new year?"
Yes and when can we take away the right for people to own guns! Scott Pelley, meh!
I learned a long time ago, on Super Bowl Sunday, I find something else to do all the way up to kickoff, and then again at halftime. The rest is noise.
When will this country get enough of this horrible, little man?
Yes, we all want to know more about the silly picture of him skeet shooting.
Why is he EVERYWHERE? Yapping about NOTHING?It remins me of one of my favorite quotations for Shakespears Macbeth...in fact I texted to my SIL the night of Obamas speech at the Dem convention in 2008. He had just texted me that it was the greatest speech ever given it US history. (He´s young)Rather than fighting with him I texted;"Out, out, brief candle! Life´s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Macbeth (Act V, Scene V).I never got a reply...Obama has been strutting, telling his tales far longer than his alloted hour. Time to get off the stage.
Um, why?
Another good reason not to watch CBS!
Of course they will. Just a thought...why would the half black in the white house defy anyone to photo op his skeet shooting pic?Because that is the only way he has to get the attention of such people who do that sort of thing. In this way, his stupid image is in our faces 24/7 Much like that Latino Chavez
Is Obama going to talk about the need to take the *violence* out of football?
They´re going to play softball on Super Bowl Sunday?
I´ll be doing my pre-game restroom visit when Broboma hits the airwaves.
There are no Hurricane Sandy "victims" still without power. Otherwise, we would hear about it endlessly on the major news media. Therefore, this is only a rumor spread by bitter republicans still angry about having lost a fair and square election.
If we have to see an 0bama, why couldn´t they interview Michelle? At least she could talk about her days playing defensive linebacker for the Bears.
Will Scott ask the president how Reggie Love is doing? Will the president kiss Reggie Love in public? Will Scott Pelley kiss the president on air?
Why would NFL give time of day to the King that wants to have football reduced to a two hand below the belt touch game?
Obama is undoubtedly rooting hard for the Orioles today.
Thanks for the warning, Joni!
CBS already airing its Katrina retrospective...will it never end?
Aw dang, I´m gonna miss it! Ah´m takin a pick-up truck full a snow over to the landfill right about then...
Me too, #18!
I´ve sworn off anything to do with the ball game except to cheer for the 49ers to beat the Ravens. I detest Ray Lewis! Almost as much as O.
The Canary President. All he ever says is, "Me me me me me me me me me me!"
4:30 huh? That´s 3:30 Central, right?Note to self: Don´t turn on SuperBowl pregame until 4 (Central).
The bride at every wedding, the corpse(man) at every funeral.
Wasn´t it wonderful when we didn´t see Bush on TV every day because he was actually doing his job? What is it with these malignant narcissist dim presidents? Bubba was on TV every day too.
Thanks for the warning! I´ll be changing the channel. The Food Channel will be way more enjoyable until the game comes on and far easier on the stomach than more of the administrations bovine droppings.
My sentiments exactly #s 9 & 24!!
Does this empty suit ever shut the " " up? Does cbs ever stop the butt kissing? It makes me puke. We don´t need no stinking obama sniffing around the Super Bowl.
I am sick to death of Obama and CBS. If not for the NFL, CBS would be bankrupt.
A "long-standing tradition"?Please.
Good grief. Spare me!
Yep, I´m with #9. Love the game, but everything else is useless crap! That way, I can squeeze in my daily walk. Go Kaep!!
I planned on watching the commercials but CBS--you lost me at Obama.

By Caitlin Dineen Staff writer
PEMBROKE - The speaker for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina tribal council is the center of an investigation into the theft of the tribe's financial records, according to a report by Pembroke police.
Pearlean Revels, witnesses told police, took the records off an employee's desk in the tribe's building on N.C. 711 West on Thursday.
By allegedly taking the documents eight days early, Revels violated a court-ordered mandate, officials with the tribe's administration said.
During a tribal Supreme Court hearing on Aug. 12, Revels and Chairman Paul Brooks signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing that the executive branch would provide the general ledger and the check registers from all tribal accounts, excluding "transaction descriptions," by 1 p.m. on Aug. 30.
According to the police report, witnesses told Officer J. Brayboy that employees tried to stop Revels from leaving the building with the ledger, but were unsuccessful.
Brooks said in a release Friday that several tribe employees were inside the building when Revels took the documents.
"She came into the office at 3:30 p.m. and visited the finance office," he said, adding councilman Terry Campbell was with Revels during the incident.
Earlier this month during an audit presentation, it was discovered the tribe has 16 or 17 different accounts for day-to-day operations.
Council members argued they were entitled to oversight of the check registers to ensure the budget was followed. Meanwhile, tribe administrators withheld documents saying the council cannot dictate who gets contracts.
Pembroke police said the theft is under investigation.

Empire Falls by Richard Russo: Questions, plus a reading group guide, with links to reviews, excerpt, author interview and author biography at BookBrowse.com.
Reading Guide QuestionsPrinter Friendly GuidePlease be aware that this discussion guide may contain spoilers!
The questions, discussion topics and reading list that follow are intended to enhance your reading group's discussion of Richard Russo's wonderfully evocative portrait of the small Maine town of Empire Falls. Dominated by the Whiting family, founders of the various mills that provided employment for most of the town's residents, at the turn of the twenty-first century Empire Falls is in sharp decline. Its mills are closed, its stores boarded up, its population dwindling. The families that remain live on memories of the past and the shared fantasy that the mills will reopen and the once-thriving town will experience a renaissance. The formidable Mrs. Whiting, widow of the last Whiting son (and rumored to be the richest woman in central Maine), makes no concession to the community's needs or fantasies, however. As the owner of the few viable businesses left in Empire Falls and a dependable if begrudging source of funds for essential town improvements, Mrs. Whiting wields her power over the town and its inhabitants with an iron will.

54110 CITRUS MEDICA SARCODACTYLIS ETROG VARIEGATA RUT CGH HP PRICE: $ 150.00 Very rare "Variegated Etrog" Large new lvs emerge a lustrous red-pink streaked rose, then harden to leathery green with brilliant butter yellow variegation--even the citron fruit used in the Jewish Feast of the Tabernacles is striped. Email Us if You Like This Plant Return to the Top of the Page Navigate to Another Page of Plant Offerings 41360 CLERODENDRON FRAGRANS PLENIFLORUM VER CGH HH PRICE: $ 15.00 More correctly Clerodendron philippinum (since a native to India?)--the deservedly famous "Chinese Glory-Bower." Woody erect stems with dramatic pairs of heavy wide leaves terminate in lovely bouquets of double white hydrangea-like white blossoms fading to shell pink for a truely Victorian look. In North best grown as conservatory subject; winter dormant if kept cool; nonetheless, ours in the warm conservatory grow & bloom all winter--and the foliage is dramatically soft, the impressive clusters of flowers . . . simply breathtakingly beautiful, earning itself a place in any larger hobby greenhouse and in every conservatory. 41244 CLERODENDRON INDICUM VER CGH HH PRICE: $ 12.00 "Turk's Turban" or "Tubeflower" Erect woody hollow stems are ringed with whorls of wide leaves and white tubular flowers (thus called "Cathedral Bells") on long (even up to two feet) terminal spikes followed by blue fruit. An odd one--often the hollow stems reach 12 feet before setting their teriminal flower spikes. Every so often we consider not offering this as the height is daunting; and then it blooms and all is forgiven. 69021 CLERODENDRON THOMSONIAE VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 4.25 The dark leaves paired on this attrative vine decorated with terminal clusters of inflorescence of odd "Bag Flower" white calyxes from which emerge brilliant red "Bleeding Heart" corollas. A traditional favorite from the very warm Cameroon, thus will lose foliage if kept cool during the winter; but can bloom throughout the seasons if kept evenly warm, well fertilized, and given adequate access to sunlight. 40133 CLERODENDRON UGANDENSE VER CGH HP PRICE: $ 8.00 "Blue Butterfly Flower" Upside-down blossoms of bright blue with indigo stamens (filaments purple, anthers blue!) suspended like chains of butterfies from the slim straight stems used as arrow shafts; beware the strongly scented (and we mean seriously scented) foliage. Perhaps more odd than beautiful. But still, every plant lover will need this. Return to the Top of the Page Navigate to Another Page of Plant Offerings

Harvest passages: 120 Old Testament verses on missions
Why missions? Biblical passages dealing with world evangelism
Are you working on a missionary sermon or message? Do you have to do a Bible study on missions? Has someone asked the question: Why missions? Why should I be concerned about the global harvest of souls?
Sacred scripture is full of explicit as well as implicit references to God's will for world evangelism. Most evangelical believers know the Great Commission: "Go ye into all the world."
The Great Commission is only one reason for God's people to be doing global mission. There are lots of other missions verses in God's Word. Here is a partial listing of missionary scriptures — scriptures concerning missions — from the Old Testament. Use these to encourage a clear missionary vision. Several of the passages have links to where they are cited on other pages of this web site.

80 New Testament passages about world missions
Into whatever groups we divide humanity — races, nations, languages, cultures — it is clear that God loves all of them and wants people from all those groupings to be reconciled to Him.
In top line blessings/bottom line responsibilities categories of Don Richardson and Bob Sjogren, many of these scriptures are of the bottom line responsibility type.
"Make known among the nations what He has done." — Psalm 105:1
The barbarians become Christian
In the years 400-800 the Germanic tribes of central Europe turned to Christ in massive numbers. [ read more ]

Charles Dickens: The Old Curiosity ShopCHAPTER 53Nell was stirring early in the morning, and having discharged her household tasks, and put everything in order for the good schoolmaster (though sorely against his will, for he would have spared her the pains), took down, from its nail by the fireside, a little bundle of keys with which the bachelor had formally invested her on the previous day, and went out alone to visit the old church. The sky was serene and bright, the air clear, perfumed with the fresh scent of newly fallen leaves, and grateful to every sense. The neighbouring stream sparkled, and rolled onward with a tuneful sound; the dew glistened on the green mounds, like tears shed by Good Spirits over the dead. Some young children sported among the tombs, and hid from each other, with laughing faces. They had an infant with them, and had laid it down asleep upon a child's grave, in a little bed of leaves. It was a new grave--the resting-place, perhaps, of some little creature, who, meek and patient in its illness, had often sat and watched them, and now seemed, to their minds, scarcely changed. She drew near and asked one of them whose grave it was. The child answered that that was not its name; it was a garden--his brother's. It was greener, he said, than all the other gardens, and the birds loved it better because he had been used to feed them. When he had done speaking, he looked at her with a smile, and kneeling down and nestling for a moment with his cheek against the turf, bounded merrily away. She passed the church, gazing upward at its old tower, went through the wicket gate, and so into the village. The old sexton, leaning on a crutch, was taking the air at his cottage door, and gave her good morrow. 'You are better?' said the child, stopping to speak with him. 'Ay surely,' returned the old man. 'I'm thankful to say, much better.' 'YOU will be quite well soon.' 'With Heaven's leave, and a little patience. But come in, come in!' The old man limped on before, and warning her of the downward step, which he achieved himself with no small difficulty, led the way into his little cottage. This is page 437 of 618.

You've just wasted two months of your life searching fruitlessly for treasure and returned home to discover your parents were murdered. Even worse, the local reverend happens upon you as you stare bewildered at your mother's corpse, and presumes you to be the murderer. What do you do? What do you do? You run, Billy. You run.
Throughout Call of Juarez's adventure, you'll alternate control between two characters: the stealthy Billy and the bible-wielding, quick-shooting, Reverend Ray. Each offers a unique perspective on this western tale, as you try to hunt down Billy as the reverend, and run away as Billy.
In this Call of Juarez guide you will discover:

Just the other day, I saw a newspaper ad urging women to get their care at a nearby women's health clinic. That got me wondering about the growing field of gender-based medical care. Perhaps you've seen similar ads or doctors touting their expertise in "men's issues." Health care professionals in these settings may have bedside manners or practice styles that appeal more to one gender than the other. For example, a female physician may be able to sympathize with a patient's menopausal symptoms if she, the doctor, has gone through menopause herself, while a male physician does not have that experience to draw on. But how does the actual medical care provided in gender-based practices differ from that provided by "regular" doctors? You won't get an argument from me about the profound differences between men and women. The obvious anatomic differences translate into different health needs.
But for the parts of the body that men and women share, how are health issues different? The Not-So-Obvious Differences Heart and blood vessel disease is probably the best example of an important medical condition where gender matters, despite similar anatomy. Angina, for example, is a serious condition that occurs when too little blood flows to the heart through arteries. The classic symptom is chest pain or pressure when you exert yourself that travels to the left arm, jaw or neck, and stops when you rest. You may also have nausea or severe sweating. Studies show that men are much more likely than women to have these typical symptoms. Women, meanwhile, tend to have the classic chest pain less often than men. They are more likely to have shortness of breath, abdominal pain and fatigue. Doctors may not consider that these less typical symptoms are due to a heart problem. In addition, confusing or misleading test results for heart disease are more common for women.
Here are other examples of how men and women respond differently to a disease or its treatment.
It's important to mention that differences in how men and women respond to illness or medications could be greater than we think. That's because, until recently, large research studies tended to include more men than women. That's changing, but it's important to consider the research sources of any knowledge about health and disease. Given gender-based differences mentioned above, a study of medications for angina or a study assessing pain could reach different conclusions if it includes only men or only women. Some Differences Are Due to Behavior Some of the differences in health between the genders are not related so much to differences in the ways diseases affect them, but rather from differences in how men and women behave. For example, men tend to smoke and drink more than women, so health problems related to these habits are often more common in men. And it's well-documented that men tend to ignore symptoms and delay getting medical care. One 2006 study makes this point dramatically. Researchers found that men who became sick or got hurt while watching a major sporting event, such as the Super Bowl, tended to wait to get medical attention. The effect was so pronounced that 30% fewer men came to emergency rooms during major televised sporting events and 40% more came in for medical care soon after the game ended. There are many conditions that are more common in one gender than the other. Often, we don't know why. For example:
Urinary tract infections (UTIs), on the other hand, are much more common in women because of anatomy. Compared to men, bacteria have a much easier time reaching the bladder and causing an infection. When men have a UTI, it's usually due to some other problem such as an enlarged prostate (which blocks urine flow) or recent urinary surgery. Whether we know the reason for these differences or not, people and their doctors may dismiss the possibility of a disease when it occurs in the gender that gets it less often. Despite the differences, it seems to me that the health needs of men and women are much more alike than different. In my view, the notions that a woman can only get good care by seeing a specialist in women's health and that a man should only see a doctor who limits his practice to male patients are often more about marketing than improving health. In fact, differences in the practice styles of individual male and female doctors are probably more important to health outcomes and patient satisfaction than differences in the medical needs of their male and female patients. Rather than focusing on different health needs among men and women, I think it's more important to find a responsive doctor you trust and you can talk to easily. That's the challenge for each person, regardless of their gender or their doctor's. Robert H.

Sapphire's Radeon HD 7990 Atomic made its first appearance at Computex, early last month. While launch of the card itself is less than a few weeks away, pictures of its PCB and cooling solution made it to the web. Its PCB, pictured below, features a pair of 28 nm "Tahiti XT2" GPUs, a total of 6 GB of GDDR5 memory, and a PLX PEX8747 PCI-Express gen 3.0 x48 bridge chip, powered by a gargantuan 18-phase VRM that draws power from three 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. Each GPU system hence gets a 6+2+1 phase power supply (Vcc+VDDCI+MVDD). The Vcc phases appear to consist of two 50A chokes per phase, and driver-MOSFETs; while the ancillary phases use more conventional LFPAK MOSFETs. Tantalum capacitors handle most electricals on this 12-layer PCB. The PCB features two sets of video BIOS for each GPU. Display outputs include six mini-DisplayPort connectors. The card can pair with any other Radeon HD 7900 series card using CrossFireX. Moving on, the cooling solution of the Radeon HD 7990 Atomic consists of an almost DIY-looking liquid cooling loop, consisting on a full-coverage block, a 120 x 240 mm radiator, and a reservoir+pump with coolant ports. A pair of 120 mm, 1,200 RPM fans are included with the radiator. Source: Expreview
Wouldn't want a card that been announced to go EOL after 2 months already. Good luck with driver support.
It's not a reference design. As for drivers, known issues aside, it only needs crossfire drivers. It is after all only two 7970's on a stick. There isn't an EOL issue with this (or in fact the reference cards) - the software support is there. On that note. You'd think Sapphire would wait for the end of July driver update from AMD before releasing? Show the card in a good light?
am i the only one who thinks the tubes need to be longer to and from the card? only it looks like you will need to put the rad in the base of the case and not many support a 240 rad there :|
Everyone worried about EOL.... Guess what people, when hardware goes EOL, it still works (imagine that). All EOL means is they aren't producing it anymore.
Love the fact they photoshopped out the PCI-E on the actual card. I can only assume this drawing is a mockup, because sane people with money will build a custom loop so they can put the components wherever they like, and not be confined to the length of the tubing. I'm curious as to why they chose to make the tubes come from the same side of the GPU instead of one above and one below, like a normal W/C GPU block. Just makes it more difficult to manage.
Possibly a pretty sweet card if AMD's driver fixes come through for CF stuttering. But I can't help feeling that this is too little, too late. I'm guessing this thing will be priced in 780 SLI territory and I just don't imagine it being competitive, even with the value of the H2O stuff factored in.
Warranty claim issues. Their cards are fine ,but if you happen to get a bad one, which happens with any brand....you may be in for a huge headache.
Because of some Dick head mod on the sapphire forum, called GreenGhecko. If you have a problem, which I did, And posted on the forum. He reckons Corsair PSU's are shit and goes on about it. He is a *ock *ucker and if that is who the company want to be their face of support then *uck them, hence I will not buy another Sapphire card.
I imagined, thanks for the feedback I've never had an issue with them, I figure I have been lucky so far.
Chances are, if you get a bad one, you will have to post on their forum(maybe) and get grilled by GreenDickhead, not a good experience dealing with him. Here's an example- http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20215228-nimrods-at-Sapphire-Forums Not very nice at all about Americans, look at 8th post.
I can, A fucking Cocksucker, Hence I will not touch a Sapphire card ever again. Feel free to edit the swearing out MODS, And I do apologize.
Dont worry, Sapphire quite blatantly distanced themselves from him and the forum he Mods, as they removed the forum link from their main site after allegations of his behaviour, then shortly put it back up again. He no longer speaks for them, just his own personal applebag self. As a matter of fact, you'll find if you google Gr33n Gecko Sapphire, the records of him have mostly been removed, except for a few links to people complaining about him and his profile page.
It's a good thing they did, he must have damaged their customer reputation, and maybe lost some sales.

HSBC facing more legal problems tonight -- whistle blower worked as a former vice president and senior business manager.
Is suing the largest.
The second largest bank in the world.
For ten million dollars John Cruz says he was wrongfully terminated from HSBC after he reported on suspected fraudulent accounts used for money laundering.
Back in 2009.
Yesterday HSBC agreed to pay -- fine of one point nine.
Billion dollars for transferring billions of dollars.
For nations including Iran enabling Mexican drug cartels to move their money illegally through Americans observers.
To put the -- in perspective.
HSBC made sixteen point eight billion in profits last year joining us now is John -- -- the whistle or the man behind they.
Latest lawsuit.
And John -- first thank you for being here.
I wanna you wanna turn to first the spine and we find out from Lanny brewer.
The assistant attorney general.
That there will be no.
Individual prosecutions.
Even though they have the evidence of all of this wrongdoing.
And working HSBC.
With terrorists.
Nations sponsoring terrorists.
And the Mexican drug cartels.
Your reaction.
-- I think it's totally wrong I truly believe that executives need to be responsible for the action legal actions taken place at the bank.
And in -- in your judgment you know the bank.
Why would this not why would there not be an individual prosecution.
Well for what has taken place at this as I said -- second largest bank in the world.
I don't know why -- is -- individual prosecutions being taken place but the evidence they have.
That's -- question -- BS the law enforcement.
And that -- the other question obviously is why's it taken so long for you to.
To move forward to get a response from the bank and and to be treated fairly here.
As a whistle more -- protected under whistle blower laws.
I we think I would be protected.
On the whistle blower laws and I think whistle -- lawyers need to be.
More pronounced today community they need to be increased more to protect the whistle blowers who want -- needs to protect -- -- laws that we need them.
Did you think you would be protected.
I didn't know.
I didn't know but I know that I needed to do something.
This your case goes back to 2009.
You're taking over a number of branches.
For HSBC in the New York area you go -- to drum up more business tell us what you found when you started going out to the -- places of business.
That were on your your list of customer accounts.
Tell us what you found.
Well I found that businesses did not exist.
Actual physical locations did not exist actual owners did not exist it was just a paper company I would say that was.
Within the bank -- you don't computer system showing transactions and all taken place but the businesses did not exist.
So you've been going up to drum up more business or offer new services.
Two I would -- -- make certain of the account.
Is is secure with your bank.
So you -- -- there and you find one closed.
When those boarded up what did you find.
Some companies I found were empty lots some companies that founded on existing buildings they were supposed to be in -- some did not exist at all anywhere to be found so when you got back to.
To them to the big bank or what did you entire bosses the big shots.
I told my -- is much appears exactly what I found.
And I -- reported to as suspicious activity.
And and you thought it was what I -- did you have a sense that it was money laundering.
I didn't know what it was my job is to actually manage accounts my job is she -- there and it's not the I reported it and I wanted to get them out of my book of business because there is nothing to manage and they are supposed to handle it in -- legal manner.
And and you became frustrated with the what happened what was finally the reaction of your your managers.
Well my manager of winding up writing me up for poor job performance.
And not handily accounts for not doing my job.
And and and then you were fired in 2010.
And you think it's my list of -- right.
I would I would fire I guess in 2010 -- reporting everything to -- security.
With the bank and the law enforcement authorities right I want -- yes I think the law enforcement I didn't.
Let the bank know that I was going to -- wasn't through really else.
Through speaking for them at all I did let -- know I was going to law enforcement everything.
And the result of that is at least you're -- your part -- what we saw transfer yesterday.
That is one point nine billion dollars in fines but no prosecution.
That is correct your lawsuit is moving forward how long before you think there will be resolution.
I do not know I -- not know how long quest system will take I mean.
It's been a few years now just in the making so we just filed the lawsuit yesterday.
So we will see what happens ratio at the bank has us how many days respond to our crews thank you very much for being here we -- -- -- -- a lot.
Thank you.

Regular contributed oral talks are 10 minutes.
(5 minutes for talk + 3 minutes for questions and answers + 2 for changeover
Dissertation contributed oral talks are 20 minutes and are marked with a "D" at the end of their presentation number.
(15 minutes for talk + 3 minutes for questions and answers + 2 for changeover)
Special Session talks vary in length.
If the Session Organizer provided time allotments they will appear below, in the online Program and on the session's door sign.
Invited talks are 50 minutes.
(40 minutes + 10 minutes for questions and answers)
The Responsibilities of Session Chairs:
Session Chairs are responsible for the implementation of the rules governing the oral presentations established by the AAS Council and the success, defined broadly, of the session they are chairing. Along with the fair application of the time limits for presentations and questions, session chairs must be familiar enough with the audiovisual equipment and support resources to assist individual presenters. Staff or volunteers are typically provided for each room to assist session chairs with getting assistance or solving minor problems, yet the session chair must also familiarize themselves with the room and equipment before their session begins to ensure success. AAS staff can provide support and training as necessary to enable session chairs in this area.
Additionally, session chairs are responsible for ensuring a professional atmosphere in each session, consistent with the AAS professional ethics guidelines and anti-harassment policies. Session chairs should especially be wary of harassment of early-career speakers in the form of overly challenging or humiliating questioning by session attendees. If a question is inappropriate or unprofessional, it is appropriate for the session chair to intervene or take another question.
Finally, it is the session chair's responsibility to ensure that all members, regardless of disability, can participate in and benefit from the scientific sessions. Those with disabilities, whether permanent or temporary, should be provided seating and resources necessary to fully engage in the session. AAS meeting staff is able to provide resources and works to find out requirements ahead of the meeting, though such resources can often be provided on short notice as long as session chairs communicate these needs to AAS staff via the in-room meeting staff or volunteer.
Session chairs are expected to attend a training breakfast in the morning before their session, where they will have a chance to see the technology used in the sessions, to meet A/V staff, and to discuss how to handle situations that may arise. A brief summary of key points is given here.
Session Chair Guidelines:
- keep the program on schedule to facilitate the parallel sessions, and
- help coax the discussion of papers with a question of your own, should none come from the floor. Otherwise, talks are not to be rearranged nor are presentations to be added unless approved by the AAS Office. A list of program changes will be distributed to all registrants, as well as posted on the meeting website. For those of you who have not chaired before, a list of helpful hints is below.
Each session room will be equipped with a screen, laptop, projector, laser pointers, microphone, timer and podium.
Most talks will utilize the laptop and LCD projector. A volunteer or an Audio-Visual assistant (AVA) will be on-hand to ensure the proper talk is projected. Just in case a volunteer or AVA is not available during your session, you should be prepared to:
- select the proper operating system (PC or Mac) with the keyboard shortcut, and
- open the proper talk in the proper folder (each talk will be labeled with the presenter's name, talk ID number, and hopefully operating system). It is very important to select the correct operating system before launching the presentation software; otherwise the presentation may not appear as intended by the author. This should be accomplished by the volunteer or AVA as you are introducing the speaker.
AAS Hints for Session Chairs
Review the contents of your session in advance. Learn to pronounce the speakers names by making yourself available before the session begins and speaking briefly with any presenters present.
Make sure your equipment (microphone, timer) is on hand. (Important) If the speaker's voice is too soft, encourage him/her to speak up or change the microphone position.
A speaker may not connect his/her laptop to the LCD projector without prior approval from the Speaker Ready room (A/V staff). All presentations are to be pre-loaded through the speaker ready room.
Before the session begins, ask that all cell phones be turned off.
Introduce yourself at the start of the session and mention the session number.
Introduce each speaker by reading the title of their contribution, their name and their affiliation. After the speaker is introduced, set the timer for 4 minutes for regular talks, 14 minutes for Dissertation talks (marked with a capital D in the program). After the 4-minute ring, set it for 1 minute more. Stand up near the speaker at the end of 5 minutes (15 minutes for dissertation talks). If the speaker will not or cannot stop, advance toward him/her. Most will get the hint. If all else fails, interrupt the speaker in order to stay on time. Adjust the timing of the Q/A period in order to remain within the total 10 minutes allocated (20 minutes for dissertation talks).
Check the Program Update and session door sign for withdrawn papers or speaker changes. If a paper in the middle of the session is withdrawn, use the time for extra discussion on earlier papers so that those moving between parallel sessions will arrive in time for a paper that they wish to hear. Similarly, in the event of a last minute or unannounced cancellation, call a brief break as a courtesy to those planning their moves between the parallel sessions. The session chair must not switch or rearrange the order of speakers.
If the talks in your sessions do not fill the entire time block, you can choose to have an extra discussion period after the last talk or end the session early.
Moderate the question and answer period. Encourage people to use the microphone so that all can hear the questions. You can repeat the questions from the floor to make them audible to everyone and to give the speaker a chance to think. Try to get as many questions in as possible and try not to let one person dominate the discussion. Help stimulate the discussion by asking at least one question if questions are not forthcoming from the floor.
Please note: an email will be generated when additional chairs are needed.
