Medical Electronics Pumping Ahead
Post a comment
"My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there." - Charles Kettering, Inventor
The medical electronics industry is controlled by some familiar brand names, OEMs that include giants GE Healthcare, Philips Medical, and Johnson & Johnson, which is the market leader of the general healthcare products industry. Medical electronics is continuing to present a strong growth opportunity for semiconductors. According to Databeans latest study, "2005 Semiconductors in Medical Electronics", the medical market for chips will reach over $2 billion in 2005. With a compound annual growth rate of 11 percent each year for the next five years, Databeans expects the opportunity to reach $3.5 billion by 2010. Most of the medical electronics market for semiconductors is home diagnostics. The home market contributes roughly 50 percent of revenue, with a remaining 25 percent contributed by imaging, and 25 percent contributed by other diagnostic or therapeutic electronics. The home market is growing the fastest at 12 percent average annual growth, followed by imaging at 11 percent, and diagnostics and therapy combined at 9 percent.
The medical electronics products currently generating the most revenue for semiconductors would include blood glucose meters, ultrasound equipment and digital thermometers. Demand for precision amplifiers, data converters, analog power management, and RISC processors are all elevated by these applications. Design trends follow the volume and suppliers are focused on the consumer medical electronics space as well as the developing implantable applications. New design considerations here include size and power consumption. The battery can take up over 50 percent of the size of an implantable device so low power circuitry is essential. On the consumer side, OEMs are designing smaller monitors that are simple to use, which requires small packages. Also, much of the home market is battery powered, so power consumption in new products is lower, with standby currents lower as well.

The landmark towers along the N2 highway in Cape Town have not been generating electricity for six years and are set to be demolished.
Officials and structural engineers are at the towers, assessing the extent of the damage.
There has also been a report that the N2 has been diverted in the interests of safety.

Exports and growth: is the export-led growth hypothesis valid for provincial economies?
This paper re-examines the export-led growth hypothesis using provincial data. Unlike other studies that concentrate on country-level data, this study investigates the validity of the hypothesis for four largest provinces in Korea: Seoul, Kyunggee, Kyungnam, and Pusan. The causal implication of the export-led growth hypothesis is generally supported for all provinces in the sample. The framework of analysis is two- and four-variable autoregressive models that include provincial exports, provincial output, terms of trade, and national output shocks. Granger causal orderings from exports to output growth are generally supported in bivariate causal models. In multivariate models, variance decompositions and impulse response functions further indicate that export growth has a significant impact on output growth for all provinces although a feedback effect from output to export growth appears in Seoul and the Kyungnam province.

Williams Partners (NYSE: WPZ) continued to expand its footprint in the Marcellus shale this week as it reached an agreement to acquire Caiman Eastern Midstream LLC from Caiman Energy for $2.5 billion. The agreement, which also provides Williams Partners with an avenue to grow into the Utica shale, follows the company's acquisition of the Laser Northeast Gathering System in the Marcellus from Delphi Midstream Partners last month.
The Caiman Eastern Midstream acquisition includes the Fort Beeler cryogenic natural gas processing plant near Cameron, West Virginia and the Moundsville processing and fractionation plant in Marshall County, West Virginia along with a related gathering system and a planned ethane pipeline.
"This acquisition continues to expand on Williams' footprint in the Marcellus and we especially like that it is in the wet gas window of the play, allowing us to expand our NGL footprint. It's a great opportunity for us because we like scale," Frank Billings, vice president, Williams Partners, said at a press conference today at Hart Energy's Marcellus Midstream conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
He compared the potential for this acquisition with Williams Partners' operations in the Picenace Basin. "We have large processing plants out west and we can bring that same operating capability to this play and help producers maximize their production through high reliability and over time lower costs because of our scale," Billings said.
Williams Partners anticipates bolt-on acquisition opportunities related to the Caiman Eastern Midstream assets as the Marcellus continues to grow. "As this business grows over the next three to five years, we like our ability to increase our NGL production and as well as the potential for acquisitions for NGL handling facilities on top of the gathering and processing facilities that Caiman has started," Billings said.
"The goal of every company is deciding where to go next and we realized that as the Marcellus and Utica shales began developing that we didn't have the capability and capacity to do a lot of the necessary build-out such as long-haul pipelines, interstate pipelines and long-haul NGL facilities," Jack Lafield, president and chief executive of Caiman Energy, stated during the press conference.
Caiman Energy was fortunate to enter the Marcellus at a time when the midstream wasn't very active in the play because they would be building ahead of drilling by producers, according to Lafield. However, as the play has grown in size, the company realized it didn't have the capability or capacity to complete much of the build-out left to complete, specifically long-haul pipelines, interstate pipelines and long-haul NGL facilities.
"Our focus became: who can we partner with? We looked at companies that had the necessary assets and capabilities on their side of the table. I think Williams can jump in and take on the NGL opportunity in the Marcellus and Utica shales. We're turning these assets over to some very capable hands in Williams Partners. I think you'll see them come in and be a very aggressive and major player here," Lafield said.
Utica Joint Venture
In addition to acquiring the Caiman Energy Marcellus assets, Williams Partners also formed a joint venture with Caiman Energy and its private equity investors, including EnCap Flatrock Midstream, EnCap Investments LP and Highstar Capital. This joint venture will develop midstream infrastructure in the Utica shale.
"We like to operate as the front infantry by getting out into the field ahead of everybody and work with producers on midstream development and one of the keys to this deal was being able to do the same thing in the Utica," Lafield said. Caiman has established an office for this joint venture in Canton, Ohio as it raises capital to become a major player in the region. In addition, this joint venture will seek to utilize Williams Partners' expertise and experience with NGLs throughout the country.
"We want to keep an entity that can move and respond. Williams Partners has great expertise in engineering and operating and we'll be looking at all of the resources the partners can bring together, such as Transco expanding into the Utica, NGL lines and where they need to go. I keep saying that Padd I is getting ready to be bigger than Conway and you're going to need someone that understands all the areas of the country relative to NGLs that can make this thing work correctly and get the ultimate value back to the producer," Lafield added.
According to Billings, the midstream assets in the Marcellus shale may be used by the partners in the Utica. "You have to have speed to market, so having assets on the ground in the Marcellus is helpful to the Utica development. We can bring gas out of Ohio and process it in the facilities we already have," he said.
Transaction Terms And Funding
Williams Partners plans to fund the purchase price of the acquisition with a combination of $1.78 billion in cash and the issuance to Caiman of approximately 11.8 million Williams Partners common units valued at approximately $720 million. The partnership expects to fund the cash portion of the transaction with a combination of equity, debt and available cash.
Williams (NYSE: WMB) intends to make an additional investment in Williams Partners of approximately $1 billion to facilitate the acquisition. Williams intends to purchase approximately 16.3 million Williams Partners limited-partner units at a price equal to the price of the units Williams Partners will issue to Caiman. Williams has also agreed to temporarily waive the general partner incentive distributions through 2013 with respect to the limited-partner units to be issued to Caiman and Williams. Williams estimates the foregone IDRs would have yielded approximately $26 million in 2012 and $42 million in 2013.

Lee reloading equipment, why is it looked down on?
I got into reloading a couple of years ago and as any newlywed, I was on a tight budget. I went for a Lee 4 hole turret so I could load a reasonable amount in a reasonable amount of time. I've loaded thousands of rounds with it, mainly 45 and 38 with only a couple of minor problems that were remedied. So why is Lee looked at so poorly? I know they aren't the best but why the hate? One day I'll step up to something better but for the $130 I spent to get started I think it does well.
I have the lee loader 1000. Has a few quirks and is way bigger than the dillon. My dad had a dillon and i definatly liked it better. Less room taken up on the bench for sure.
Everything that said Lee on it that I owned SUCKED ARES.
I had Lee shell holders none of my brass would fit in them. They fit in RCBS shel holders though.
Had a Universal decaping die it broke after 3 shells not 3 uses but after 3 45acp cases it broke the pin. I didn't hit a berdan primed case either.
I had a lee hand primer again after about 4 cases it snapped in half. I am talking like blew in half in my hand. It was in at least 20 different pieces cost me 96 CCI BR4 primers. No I was not using mil brass with the primer crimp.
My brother had a classic cast press and he went to resize a 222 rem case it snapped in half as well.
After all this I vowed to never purchase another lee product ever again. You can spend slightly more and get much better quality from Lyman stuff.
See, I haven't had that experience. I've only been loading target pistol loads but I haven't had a single poblem. Don't get me wrong, I won't argue that RCBS or Lyman is nicer or better but to me it's like buying Craftsman vs Snap On hand tools. Craftsman gets the job done but they don't have the finish or the feel that Snap On does.
Glad to be of help.
Lee presses are ok. I'm a Dillon fan, but I also have a Lee Single Stage press.
Here's a picture:
I use it to de-mill all of the mistakes that the Blue machine makes.
Correction: The mistakes that the operator of the Blue machine makes.
I would like to get something better one day, just curious why people are against them. If I had tang's experience I'd swear against them too but I haven't.
You did well.
Rusty, you got to loading ammo for around $130.00 to start up. This could not be done with one of the big name brand loading co. Lee offers economy built equipment at an economy price. For this reason milions of rounds of ammo have been loaded by people who would not have loaded at all if they only had the premium (Hi $) equipment to choose from.
Most of us do not hate Lee tools. Most of us do not like Lee's quality, two year warranty, overall fit, and use of plastic parts when better should be used. Most of their tools work, at least for awhile.
I use Lee's universal decap die, and Lee Factory Crimp Die on most of all my handgun loads. The rest of my tools are RCBS and Dillon. The difference in quality is obvious, as well as the difference in price.
Lee tools are the reason that a lot of people hand load that would not otherwise get into the hobby. For that they serve the shooter well.:D
I got a few items of Lee equipment and everything is ok with them, I just had one Lee priming tool break but the replacement seems to be holding up
I have used a Lee 4 hole turret press for years and the only thing I have broke is the auto index,which I don't need/use anyway.
I did buy a Lee Progressive press a couple years ago,and send it back the day after I received it,it was made cheap IMO and I knew I'd break things on it.
Now I will agree,Lee isn't the top of the line but they aren't that bad either.Unless you are a benchrest/competition shooter Lee dies are as good if not better than other brands. I have bent several decapper pins over the years getting stuck cases out of the dies,but those stuck cases were all used brass that I had picked up at the range,and I think the brass was the problem.
I would like to get a Dillon,but don't really need it for what I reload.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Supercowboy1986, Aug 20, 2013.
Didn't get a chance to see MNF... Did the infamous forum favorite play and if so how'd he look?
Yes he played. I only heard his name called once. But I think he played decent. But the steelers oline as a unit was just terrible.
Nothing special. I don't get why some of the media actually thinks that the Steelers are going to be good this year. Their offensive line looks pretty bad. And they are trying to run a quicker passing game, which does not fit the style of your QB. He looked awful last night.
I don't get the Steelers love either.
Living in NE Penna, I will love it if the Steelers (and giants and eagles) suck...makes the "water cooler" conversations that much better if your team is the best each week
History proves that the steelers are going to be good . Don't under estimate them.
What happened to pounces?
He kept getting beat, and they have no tackles but it doesn't really matter with Big Ben
I watched Decastro a bit and he had his issues during the game. That side of the Steelers line was getting eaten up last night.
It was hard to judge him cause the entire line look terrible as a unit.
I agree the tackles for the Steelers were struggling, for the first half DeCastro was solid and not spectacular IMO. I found it hard to really judge him as the tackle next to him made Doug Free look like an all pro. Big Ben just walks through some sacks when he is in the pocket and last night was no different. Sometimes you need two guys to tackle him in the backfield, I will say the defensive line for the skins is going to be a handful, maybe the best DL in the NFC east when they are healthy.
lol this is what I was thinking. Never underr estimate them.
unless that oline gets fixed the steelers are going nowhere.
Their entire line looked awful. That's nothing new though and it's par for the course for Big Ben.
And the reason the media gives them so much love is that their defense always finds a way to be pretty solid and of course because of Big Ben. With those two things the media are always going to have the Steelers ranked good and in the hunt.
pouncey was the one inside i thought played the worst. but the skins front is pretty good
You wouldn't underestimate them a couple a seasons ago, but the dynamic of their division has changed. They are not better than Cincy and Baltimore. They split with Cleveland last year. They are finally finding out what it means to have a division with better teams in it. In the past, they essentially only had to deal with Baltimore. That is no longer true.
They had the #1 ranked defense and we carved them up. They missed the playoffs last year as well. I don't think they are making the playoffs this year either and will probably finish 3rd in that division. Cleveland might even beat them for that spot.
Don't know how it couldn't be better. Didn't they spend a 1st and a 3rd on OL last year? Plus Pouncy was a 1st a couple of years ago. I thought the only way to get a good line was to spend multiple high draft picks....sacrasm.
I remember reading one guy predicting that DeCastro will end up "in the Hall of Fame." I'm sure he'll end up being a fine guard, but he's also an example that one highly rated guard prospect won't fix an OLine.
He was incredible. Revolutionizing the way OGs play.
Here's what PFF thought:
Steelers o-line rankings (of note) for last night:
Mike Adams (-3.5)
Maurkice Pouncey (-3.5)
Christopher Hubbard (-1.7)
Guy Whimper (-2.7)
And what the hell?...No red text option? lol...all the text colors are pastel blah...
History also shows that Nevada will probably be ocean front property at some point but I think I'm going to wait a little while before I run out a buy up Laughlin.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, and IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IsoTis OrthoBiologics (SWX/Euronext Amsterdam: ISON; TSX: ISO) announces the establishment of EpiSource to create an independent vehicle and a potential spin-off company for its wound management portfolio. EpiDex, Allox, and AcuDress, the three products that constitute the EpiSource portfolio, have all achieved major milestones.
The Swiss agency OFAS has approved the reimbursement of EpiDex, an innovative solution for the treatment of recalcitrant skin ulcers, starting January 1, 2004 for an initial period of two years. EpiSource intends to commercialize EpiDex in Switzerland through an independent distribution channel.
Patient recruitment for the Allox Phase II dose escalation trial has been recently completed as scheduled. Data analysis is anticipated for June 2004, and an IND filing with the US Food and Drug Administration in the course of September 2004. Allox is the subject of a high-profile deal with US market leader HealthPoint Ltd. that was concluded in August 2003. HealthPoint will assume further clinical and commercial development of Allox once the IND filing is approved.
AcuDress, a cutting-edge burn wound treatment, has been successfully transferred from Bilthoven, The Netherlands, to EpiSource in Lausanne, Switzerland, and will in future be manufactured and shipped from there.
Jacques Essinger, Chief Executive Officer of IsoTis Orthobiologics, said: "We are very gratified with OFAS' re-evaluation of EpiDex and its reimbursement in the Swiss market. Patients and medical professionals in Switzerland will now get access to state-of-the-art wound management technology that goes beyond the traditional treatment paradigm. With EpiDex reimbursed, AcuDress on the market, and Allox meeting its critical milestones, the commercial value of the pipeline of the new subsidiary EpiSource is materializing, giving it an excellent position to seek partners in Switzerland to further advance its business potential."
Profile IsoTis OrthoBiologics
IsoTis OrthoBiologics was created in Q4 2003 through the merger of GenSci OrthoBiologics, a US-based orthobiology company, and IsoTis SA, a Swiss-Dutch biomedical company. IsoTis OrthoBiologics has approximately 150 employees, a product portfolio with 6 orthobiology products on the market and 9 others in development, pro-forma product sales of US$ 23 million in 2002, an established North American independent distribution network of 400 sales representatives, and a rapidly expanding international presence.
The field of orthobiologics combines advances in biotechnology, materials sciences and tissue biology to promote and enhance the body's natural ability to regenerate and repair musculoskeletal tissue.

While councillors in Cornwall may have refused a bid to build a massive out of town shopping centre near St Austell, the final decision may be taken many miles from Cornwall.
With Mercian Developments Ltd saying that there are "plenty of reasons to appeal", the plan may eventually "not be determined by local councillors", according to Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Gilbert.
The BBC are reporting that Simon Hoare, from Mercian Developments, said there were reasons to appeal as the company had spent time and money on the proposals for the past three years.
Adding that he said: "The idea that a refusal would then clear the decks and we would we disappear up the A390 in a cloud of dust is very far from the mark."
The controversial Coyte Farm development was refused amid dramatic scenes at Cornwall Council on Thursday.
The vote went down to the wire, with the application rejected 11 votes to 10, with the chairman of the strategic planning committee Rob Nolan, a Truro councillor, having the casting vote.
People for and against the plan for a £100m out-of-town shopping centre were on hand to watch the debate unfold at New County Hall.
The application would have seen Mercian Developments Ltd build on a 100-acre site at Coyte Farm, on the outskirst of St Austell.
Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's were highlighted as potential tenants, alongside a Next store, a petrol station, and a 'golf academy'. Improvements to a nearby primary school were also on the cards, although the school wrote to Cornwall Council to point out they had not been consulted on the scheme.
Protestors have argued that it will seriously damage the town centre, with a report saying it could see 28 per cent of trade lost
St Austell town councillors failed to support the development at a close run vote in December.
Mercian Developments and Metric Properties had argued it would bring jobs, and keep money in the area that would otherwise be spent in nearby towns.

Italian police hunt for mafia boss
Police in Italy say they'll continue their hunt for the most wanted leader of the Sicilian mafia, Bernardo Provenzano, after he evaded capture in an operation in which more than fifty of his alleged associates were detained on Tuesday.
The arrests were part of a two-year investigation in several towns and cities across Sicily.
Despite the failure to capture Provenzano, who's been on the run for thirty years,police say evidence recovered, including a cache of letters, will help them in their search for him.
In the papers, Provenzano gives advice to his men, informs them about criminal activities and intervenes in internal disputes.

Obama, Boehner resume fiscal cliff talks
WASHINGTON — President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met on Sunday in the White House to discuss the ongoing negotiations over the impending "fiscal cliff," the first meeting between just the two leaders since Election Day.
Spokesmen for Obama and Boehner said they agreed not to release details of the conversation, but emphasized that the lines of communication remain open.
The meeting happened as the White House and Congress try to break an impasse over finding a way to stop a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to kick in at the beginning of next year.
Obama met in November with Boehner, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. The president spoke by telephone with Reid and in person with Pelosi on Friday.
Obama has been pushing higher tax rates for the wealthiest Americans as one way to reduce the deficit — a position House Republicans have been steadfastly against. Republicans are demanding steeper cuts in costly government entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
One GOP senator said on Sunday that Senate Republicans would probably agree to higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans if it meant getting a chance to overhaul entitlement programs.
The comments by Bob Corker of Tennessee — a fiscal conservative who has been gaining stature in the Senate as a pragmatic deal broker — puts new pressure on Boehner and other Republican leaders to rethink their long-held assertion that even the very rich shouldn't see their rates go up next year. GOP leaders have argued that the revenue gained by raising the top two tax rates would be trivial to the deficit, and that any tax increase hurts job creation.
But Corker said insisting on that red line — especially since Obama won re-election after campaigning on raising tax rates on the wealthy — might not be wise.
"There is a growing group of folks looking at this and realizing that we don't have a lot of cards as it relates to the tax issue before year end," Corker told "Fox News Sunday."
If Republicans agree to Obama's plan to increase rates on the top 2 percent of Americans, Corker added, "the focus then shifts to entitlements and maybe it puts us in a place where we actually can do something that really saves the nation."
Besides getting tax increases through the Republican-dominated House, Corker's proposal faces another hurdle: Democrats haven't been receptive to GOP proposals on the entitlement programs. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., on Sunday was skeptical about proposals to increase the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67.
"I just don't think we can do it in a matter of days here before the end of the year," Durbin said.
And hard-line fiscal conservatives in the House are holding fast to their position.
"No Republican wants to vote for a rate tax increase," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Added Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.: "I'm not sure there is support for the rate hikes. There is support for revenue by cleaning up the code."
Still, at least one House Republican has said there is another way. Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma has said Obama and Boehner should agree not to raise tax rates on the majority of Americans and negotiate the rates for top earners later. Cole said on Sunday that most House Republicans would vote for that approach because it doesn't include a rate increase.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., already has said he could support higher tax rates on upper incomes as part of a comprehensive plan to cut the federal deficit.
"Will I accept a tax increase as a part of a deal to actually solve our problems? Yes," Coburn said. "But the president's negotiating with the wrong people. He needs to be negotiating with our bondholders in China, because if we don't put a credible plan on the discussion, ultimately, we all lose."
Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, partly by letting decade-old tax cuts on the country's highest earners expire at the end of the year. He would continue those Bush-era tax cuts for everyone except individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples making above $250,000. The highest rates on top-paid Americans would rise from 33 percent and 35 percent to 36 percent and 39.6 percent.
Boehner has offered $800 billion in new revenues to be raised by reducing or eliminating unspecified tax breaks. The Republican plan would cut spending by $1.4 trillion.
Hensarling and Coburn spoke on ABC's "This Week." Blackburn and Cole spoke on CNN's "State of the Union." Durbin spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Young Woman Survives Odds, Inspires Others After Being Shot In Neck
Two years ago, Alexandria Reese's life was shattered in a split second.
Alexandria, or Alix as her friends call her, was caught in the middle of a gunfight between gang members.
The bullet that went through Alix's neck severed her spinal cord, splintered several vertebrae and left her paralyzed.
Now, her story inspires and amazes everyone, even her doctors.
At a recent small fundraiser, her friends sold raffle tickets and talked about what now matters most.
"We don't want this story to be forgotten. We don't want her to be left alone and forgotten about," said Emily Purje.
Her friends want to find justice for Alix.
It was on May 27, 2010 when Alix had agreed to drive a friend home and took a shortcut through East Columbus.
A round of bullets suddenly pierced the night, and Alix was struck.
"I was just talking to my friend and then I remember getting hit in the neck and my head falling back, and my friend yelling my name, and that's about as much as I remember," said Alix.
Alix's car drifted toward the curb and into a parked car along Atcheson Street. Calvin Giles lived right where Alix's car stopped.
Calvin told his family, including his four young children, to stay put as he ran outside to help. He did not know who was in the car or if the shooters were still nearby.
"And I looked in there and Alix was laying in the driver seat gasping for air and she leaned her head to the side and I seen a gaping hole with blood gushing out in her neck," said Calvin. "It was a lot of blood coming out. It was just a reaction, the only thing I got is my shirt. (I) took my shirt off, wrap it around my hand, and just held it on there and talked her through it until the paramedics came."
Calvin said he believes he was at the right place at the right time for a woman who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
When the paramedics arrived, Calvin stood back and prayed.
Now, Alix and Calvin's family are bonded for life.
"Her family say(s) I'm a hero for stepping in, but I mean, she's a hero because she still smiles every time I see her. On Facebook, she's happy. She's content, even though she's paralyzed. She still find it in her heart to be cheerful," said Giles.
Alix believes her disability now gives her the ability to find strength, and a constant smile.
"I get moments, but I just don't dwell on it because I'll just stay sad all the time, so I just look to the positive of looking up at what's next, where can I go next, what I can do to show people how hard I'm working on," said Alix.
Her outlook continues to amaze friends and strangers.
"She's still the exact same person I grew up with, she hasn't changed. She's not into having pity parties. She's the same person, just laughing and joking and so happy to see everyone that comes in to see her, big smile and everything," said Sarah Schworm.
Friends continue to hold fundraisers to help with Alix's recovery.
Last year, they helped Alix's family buy a custom fitted wheelchair so she has easier accessibility during those rare outings away from home, which is now the Villa Angela healthcare facility in north Columbus.
"Sometimes, I'll come out here as much as I can because I love being outside, I like the sunlight on my face and I like it out here, it's peaceful, quiet," she said.
And Alix knows that every day is progress.
Two years ago, doctors told her family they never thought she would survive the shooting.
If she survived, doctors said she'd never feel anything from the neck down.
But Alix is a survivor and has proved everyone wrong.
"Every day I move my shoulders more and I'm trying to get to the point where I can move my arms a little more," said Alix. "And I like to stare at my hands and try to move my fingers a little bit and see if they can move."
Alix's next goal is to get off her ventilator, and breathe on her own. So far, she's up to two hours and counting.
It's that spiritual strength that gives Alix every reason to believe more miracles are ahead.
As for the shooter, Columbus detectives said they are no closer to solving the case, mostly because no one is talking.

During our camping holiday at Wilsons Promontory National Park (Victoria, Australia) in December I noticed a glimpse of bioluminescence in the surf. However, the weather was not favourable for night sky photography and I knew I had to return at the earliest opportunity and photograph this phenomenon under the stars.
I waited for the next New Moon in January 2013 and ventured out to Squeaky Beach at night. Electric blue surf started to appear when it became dark and it was amazing to see the blue sparkle as I walked in the water.
The ghostly blue light is is produced by small single-celled marine micro-organisms called Noctiluca scintillans (commonly known as the Sea Sparkle) through a chemical reaction. It can be found all over the globe and particularly in areas of nutrient-rich waters. I could not resist adding Aurora Australis footage I took at Mornington Peninsula in October 2012 to create the natural "Liquid Light Show".
The "Memories of the Moon" track by zero-project was a perfect fit for this time-lapse.

GQ's "The Many Talents of Kate Upton" Video Has EverythingJune 26, 2012
Kate Upton continues her intrepid pursuit to destroy the Internet with her jiggly awesomeness.
The latest is a video montage of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit cover model performing a myriad of activities for GQ Magazine.
By activities, I mean skateboarding, hula-hooping and generally running around the beach in a skimpy bikini.
I am sure my words have no real meaning to you at the moment, so I give you the link to the GQ Magazine by Terry Richardson. Be warned NSFW looms at the 1:14 mark.
Here is the YouTube version from Terry TV. Again, NSFW comes at the 1:14 mark.
This is when a sultry Upton comes out of a swimming pool armed with nothing more than a skin-tight white t-shirt.
Let me say that the shirt she is wearing covers up nothing of a braless Upton who is, at this point, drenched.
I'm now guessing those of you at work are watching the minutes slowly drain off the clock.
If anything was going to shut down the Internet, this would be it. I would also like to throw a gem of an idea out into the ether.
Upton running in slow motion on the beach had me thinking back to Baywatch. My million-dollar idea is UptonWatch, a show I will let you create in your own imaginations.
You can also catch more of the bombshell in this month's cover of GQ Magazine. That would be all you need to run, not walk, to the magazine aisle at your local store.

As more and more areas of our lives become Internet-based, the problem of passwords has become a new frontier of innovation.
Developers have used fingerprints, brain waves and other "biological passwords" as a way to immediately recognize someone, but one Toronto-based company thinks it can do the same easily and inexpensively with just a heartbeat. The brains at Bionym have started selling a wristband that can be linked to a smartphone or computer via Bluetooth, password-protected with your heartbeat and controlled by gestures and sound.
Nymi, the wristband, records a two-minute electrocardiogram to initially set up the system and then can be unlocked or accessed by touching the top of the wristband for a few seconds. One of the coolest aspects of this particular project is that the wristbands are selling for $79 and are expected to stay under $100 – a great price for something so exciting.

On today's edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski openly professed her love for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, and showed viewers that she hopes the Democrat defeats Republican incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.). At one point in the segment, Brzezinski said, "And I'm so sorry for Scott Brown, who I think is adorable. But it's just not going to happen."
This is not the first time Mika has openly cheered for the liberal Harvard professor to win the Bay State's Senate contest, but it is the first time since an embarrassing scandal came to light involving Warren's specious claim to be of Native American heritage. [Audio here. Video below the jump.]
As we've noted, Mika has previously displayed her excitement for Warren, saying that she "should win."
During this morning's program, Mika showed outrage while co-host Joe Scarborough was mocking Elizabeth Warren for not getting appointed to the United States Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. After Scarborough finished, Mika got in a few comments about Warren that showed how she really felt about the Senate race. Below is one exchange.
SCARBOROUGH: We still think -- we love Elizabeth. We love Scott. They're both -- this is just going to be an incredible race.
BRZEZINSKI: It's a great race.
JOE: And they have different strengths. Elizabeth–obviously while we were interviewing her up at Fenway–
MIKA: Is the best that ever was.
When talking about Warren not being appointed to the Agency she helped to created, Mika proclaimed, "Because she's fantastic, and they [Republicans] were scared [PAUSE] less of her."
During Mika's sucking up to Warren, she some how forgot to mention the most recent Elizabeth Warren controversy. While teaching as various law schools, Elizabeth Warren listed herself as a "minority."
The full transcript is below.
Morning Joe
May 3, 2012
6:15 a.m. EDT
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Uh, one more story to get to before we get to break. President Obama is beginning to play prominently in the Massachusetts Senate race with both Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren and incumbent Republican Senator Scott Brown are using the President in their campaign messages. Warren, who was instrumental in the creation of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau touts her work with the President--
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Now is this is before or after he fired her?
BRZEZINSKI: You stop it.
SCARBOROUGH: Kicked her out of the White House.
BRZEZINSKI: That's not what happened at all. The Republicans would not have her.
SCARBOROUGH: Hold on one second. Yes, yes, yes, ok. Hey, this isn't going to work out, Elizabeth. Thank you for coming by.
BRZEZINSKI: No - Stop it right now. You know she created probably one of the most important --
SCARBOROUGH: Industry leaders drove her off. They did.
WILLIE GEIST: They did. She should have run it. But she wasn't allowed to. The President fired her because industry leaders -- there's no hard feelings, though, apparently.
BRZEZINSKI: No, I actually, I think you might want to figure in the context of the Republicans role in this, because they stomped her out.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah. Well, but I --
BRZEZINSKI: Because they want to protect their interests.
SCARBOROUGH: The President fired her because the Republicans didn't want her.
BRZEZINSKI: Because they don't want someone coming in there and actually putting some moral compass on the way this country runs and companies in this country were run. So here's the new campaign ad.
SCARBOROUGH: The President fired her. (Laughter)
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Elizabeth Warren. She a janitor's daughter who has become one of the country's fiercest advocates for the middle class. She came up with an idea for a new independent agency that would have one simple overriding mission. Standing up for consumers and middle class families.
ELIZABETH WARREN: Big banks tried to stop us, but that new agency is already working to cut the fine print and hold those banks accountable. We can take on the big guys and win. I'm Elizabeth Warren, and I approve this message.
BRZEZINSKI: Stop it. Stop it.
SCARBOROUGH: I'm Elizabeth Warren, and this guy fired me. It's hilarious. You say it off the air. And I hate to call you out on it.
BRZEZINSKI: No, I don't.
SCARBOROUGH: You act so shocked! Oh, come on. The banks got her fired.
BRZEZINSKI: Joe, Joe-
SCARBOROUGH: They did.
BRZEZINSKI: Totally different. Thrown under the bus is completely different than firing.
SCARBOROUGH: Willie Geist, so thrown under the bus is different than firing? Ok. So she was thrown under the bus? I love it. I love it. Barack Obama. Elizabeth Warren has created one of the most important consumer agencies ever, and now I'm going to fire her.
BRZEZINSKI: You had your fun. You get to act like an idiot on the set. Good for youNow let me ask you --
SCARBOROUGH: is that your defense mechanism, when you know I'm telling the truth?
BRZEZINSKI: Do you think the Republicans had nothing to do with stomping her out?
SCARBOROUGH: Of course they did.
BRZEZINSKI: Ok, good. That's–All I want to make sure there's some balance in the conversation.
SCARBOROUGH: Of course they did.
BRZEZINSKI: Because she's fantastic, and they were scared [ PAUSE ]less of her.
SCARBOROUGH: Ok. I know you don't want to [PAUSE] let me talk, because you were wrong, but let me just say the Republicans were after her from the beginning. But you don't see her next to Mitch McConnell going, Mitch McConnell loved me. No. She is next to the guy that could have made her the head of that Agency that she started. And Willie, what did he do to her?
GEIST: I believe he fired her.
SCARBOROUGH: Actually, it was more like this, And she's like, When's the bus coming? When is the bus coming? Hold it one second, Elizabeth, hold on. When is the bus coming? Hold on. Oh, Elizabeth, look, is that Harold Ford, Jr.? Where? Boom! Right under the bus. Right under the bus. And now he is in her ads. Boom.
BRZEZINSKI: You know what? I love this little laugh you're all having. I hope you have the same one when she wins as Senator of the State of Massachuttes
SCARBOROUGH: No, we like her. She should be there.
BRZEZINSKI: Yes, she should. And I'm so sorry for Scott Brown, who I think is adorable. But it's just not going to happen. All right.
[ Laughter ]
BRZEZINSKI: Are you done?
SCARBOROUGH: When is the bus coming? Sir? All right.
[ Laughter ]
GEIST: Julia Child? [Laughter]
SCARBOROUGH: Well, you know, Julia Child–She grew up in Massachusetts too. By Harvard.
[ Laughter ]
MIKE BARNICLE: We need to keep moving.
SCARBOROUGH: Go ahead.
[ Laughter ]
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, mika.
BRZEZINSKI: Do you really think that i don't know what the view from under the bus looks like? You idiot. Ok. But it's not just thePpresident. And you know the Republicans stomped her out. And I'm hoping she gets them back by winning for the senate seat.
SCARBOROUGH: You're holding a losing hand, ok?
BRZEZINSKI: Actually, I'm not. Who doesn't think that elizabeth warren is a fantastic candidate?
SCARBOROUGH: We all love her. Fantastic.
BARNICLE: We're with you.
BRZEZINSKI: Good! You better be.
SCARBOROUGH: We're not knocking her. We're knocking the President.
BRZEZINSKI: You kind of are.
SCARBOROUGH: No, we're not.
BRZEZINSKI: I think it's very insulting.
SCARBOROUGH: I think you're not, I just don't think you're paying attention.
BRZEZINSKI: And I don't think the White House would completely agree, especially President Obama with how that panned out either.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, of course they wouldn't agree, because he's the one that chunked the body under the bus. All right. But Senator Brown is also promoting his work with President Obama, highlighting his efforts to pass bipartisan legislation in Washington.
SENATOR SCOTT BROWN: A few people told me it wouldn't probably be a good idea, Scott, to go down to the White House and be seen with the President signing those bills. And I'm like, you know, why? When the invitation came, of course I said yes, because i wanted to be there to help see a common sense idea be signed by our President. It was a shared accomplishment that we all did, that we all had a part in, to actually make a difference and move our country forward. And in my book, that sure beats sharing the blame. Sharing the blame for doing nothing at all.
SCARBOROUGH: We still think -- we love Elizabeth. We love Scott. They're both -- this is just going to be an incredible race.
BRZEZINSKI: It's a great race.
SCARBOROUGH: And they have different strengths. Elizabeth obviously while we were interviewing her up at Fenway --
MIKA: Is the best that ever was.
SCARBOROUGH: And I turned and said she may be one of the best just natural political candidates I have ever seen in my life.
BARNICLE: Yeah.
SCARBOROUGH: Scott then comes on five minutes later.
BRZEZINSKI: And he's good
SCARBOROUGH: And I say this guy is Massachusetts. This guy -- I mean, this guy is the guy that you describe all the time.
BARNICLE: Yeah. No. They are both very attractive candidates. And she is astounding in the sense that she has never run for office before.
SCARBOROUGH: I can't believe it.
BARNICLE: She is a natural. Scott Brown has enormous personal appeal, though, in that state. And part of that appeal is rooted in what he was just talking about. Never mind his record, which not nearly as moderate as he is trying to portray it right now. HEe–In that state, that is 90% Democratic in the legislature, people like the option of, you know, voting for a Republican.
BRZEZINSKI: One of the reasons why she might be such a natural is because, and it's similar to when you were running and you were going after Bill Clinton, but she stands for something. She absolutely stands for something that she truly in her gut and in her instinct believes in. And that just oozes.
SCARBOROUGH: She does. But then again, also, and I'm just talking pure politics, I'm sure Steve Rattner would hate me being so --
BRZEZINSKI: Oh, Rattner will survive.
SCARBOROUGH: But again, going back, Willie Geist, to that Pat Buchanan political athlete, she runs the 40 in like 4-1. I mean, she really, as a politician, I cannot believe she's never done this before.
BRZEZINSKI: She loves it.
GEIST: You could see it before she ran. You could watch her on this show when she was talking about the banks or talking about the economy. You could see her on Bill Maher or any of the shows. It was clear if she wanted to run for office, she could, and now she's hanging in there with an incumbent.
BRZEZINSKI: She stands for something. No doubt.
BARNICLE: Running the 40 in 4-1 even after getting hit by that bus.
SCARBOROUGH: Hit by that bus. And by the way, for people at home that are just waking up and may also have a hard time connecting dots together, we weren't making fun of Elizabeth Warren. We were making fun of the White House.

Asda rolls out trade-in and pre-owned games
New 'Buy, Play, Trade' Service Available In 235 Stores Nationwide
Asda announced today that it has launched trade in and pre-owned games in 235 stores nationwide following a successful five store trial.
Asda's trade in and pre-owned games service will enable millions of its customers to bring in unwanted games and trade them in against other titles or exchange them for money. Any money exchanged will be placed onto an Asda 'Buy, Play, Trade' card to reduce the price of future game purchases. If customers prefer, they can also choose to spend the money they receive on other products across the entire store.
The nationwide service means avid gamers can now save even more money off their entertainment purchases at Asda. The supermarket is already widely recognised as the price leader on new releases such as FIFA 11, which it sold last week for £29.97.
In order to launch its new trade in service with a bang, last week Asda also offered a market leading trade in deal, where customers could purchase FIFA 11 on Xbox360 or PS3 for just 97p. The trade in deal ran for three days and was a phenomenal success allowing Asda to recruit thousands of pre-owned leading titles from its customers.
Fergal Gara, Asda's category director for music, video and games said: "Entertainment has always been a key category for Asda, but more recently we've set ourselves the target of being the best general retailer in the market. The launch of 'Buy, Play, Trade' is one of the key steps towards reaching that goal."
Andrew Thompson, Head of Games at Asda said: "We feel there is no better time to launch trade in and pre-owned games. With uncertain economic conditions and spending cuts dominating the headlines, customers need our help more than ever to help lower the cost of living."
"Our objectives are clear – we want to deliver outstanding value for money for our customers, but also drive bigger market share on new release games titles, through market leading trade in promotions."
There is already a thriving market for pre-owned games in the UK, estimated to be in the region of £4-500m. Once the sole domain of specialist games retailers, Asda's entry follows two years of significant growth in the games sector.

Prophetic Dreams and Visions Course
All the Gifts of the Spirit begin with Dreams and Visions!
You can always buy a book on dreams and visions, but who is there to teach you the PRACTICAL "how to" of MINISTERING in dreams and visions?
If there is one thing I have always hated, it is folks who are full of great wisdom and advice about what you should be doing, but have no practical teaching on HOW to do it! Well when I started preparing this course on Dreams and Visions I was determined to do it as if I was the student.
Do you know what I always wanted to know about real ministry?
I wanted to know...
As you can see...I wanted to know a lot of things. If you are a prophet, you know what I am talking about! So lesson by lesson I have poured out everything you will ever need to know about dreams, visions and practical ministry. Know how to pray, when to pray and what to pray in both personal and public ministry.
I even cover some very 'sticky subjects' such as dealing with someone who is clearly in deception and also how to get them to break free. From lesson one I wanted you, my student, to be fully 'in the know' of everything related to the practicalities of prophetic ministry.
I wanted you to have an answer for any ministry situation and above all I wanted you to fulfill your mandate as a prophet. So I jumped in and taught subjects such as inner healing and public prophecy, because I know this is what you will need as you step out.
By far this is a course that every prophet needs to begin with. Interpret dreams and visions, but do not just leave it there. Go further! Do MORE! Learn to take those interpretations and then apply them. THAT is what sets one prophet apart from the other.
The prophets in this school are not flaky or cast aways. Well at least not anymore! Our students are sought after by others for their wisdom and anointing. Once they start their training, some get so many people coming to them for help that I have to put pressure on them to keep up with their studies!
Sure the prophet faces rejection as part of their calling, but it does not mean you stay that way. No, you are called to stand as an example in the church. If you are weary of always falling short and not reaching that mountain top, then perhaps you need a change in your direction.
The Costs for this Course?
Our registration fee is $50.Includes:
The Dreams and Visions Course $145Includes:
The Dreams and Visions Course Kit $125, available at AMI Bookshop
I invite you to join me and the rest of my students as part of this dynamic prophetic group. We are on fire for the Lord, we do not take any nonsense from the enemy and we are equipped to handle any spiritual need.
We have a place just for you. Signing up is easy, but to follow through costs a price.

Prophetic Dreams and Visions Course Reviews:
I am excited about what God is doing and everything I have learned and will continue to learn. As mentioned earlier, I have had so many questions that have gone unanswered in all of these years. As a minister myself and having been married to a Pastor/Prophet I still have not had the anointed and practical teachings that I have found at AMI. I have searched for a ministry that offers the teaching and mentoring that is offered here and I just thank God for leading me to AMI. I have been aware of the call of God upon my life for many years but I must say that I feel more inspired and full of hope and confidence to go forth in the dreams He has for me since coming into contact with your ministry. My prayer is that I can move forward with as much anointing, humility and love as you have done and are doing. Thank you for everything!
K. Gibson, USA
I have begun to see more things from God and have grown so much. You have taught me how to rely more on the Lord and not to be so afraid of missing it to the point that I could not be used by the Lord. Thank you for all you have poured into my life.
S McClary, USA
"Before I did this course I interpreted dreams & visions, but never got the revelations I do now, because now I know how to do it by the Spirit of God."
J.B. South Africa
This course helped me to understand dreams I often had as a child. It continues to help me weed out garbage dreams and filter through to the message being given."
A. G. United States.
"I have found that the one course that really impacted my spiritual life the most was the dreams and visions course. I am a dreamer with a lot of visions and this helped me to more clearly understand to potholes and directions that lay ahead when God lifts them out. "

OAKLAND – Kobe Bryant crumpled to the floor with 4:45 left in regulation after taking an elbow to the face from Baron Davis on Davis' drive toward the hoop. It was just one of the setbacks the Lakers shrugged off in a gut-check victory over the Golden State Warriors that took crazy effort from Lamar Odom and some big overtime shots from Derek Fisher and Sasha Vujacic.
After getting treatment from trainer Gary Vitti during a timeout, Bryant stayed in the game and hit the Lakers' next basket for a 106-97 lead. He struggled in overtime but had 30 points and 11 rebounds in 52 minutes of play.
The Lakers overall overcame the fatigue of playing their last game in their only stretch of four games in five days this season. They also avenged their close loss the day before to the Warriors with considerable effort from Odom, who made the winning layup off Vujacic's pass. Odom played all 53 minutes and had 23 points and 21 rebounds.
Phil Jackson had to have a disciplinary word with Vujacic after he started jacking up 3-pointers and playing illogical defense midway through the second quarter. Jackson had to talk to Vladimir Radmanovic similarly late in the third quarter.
Bryant must be training daughter Natalia well in his soccer career if the nice right-foot ball he delivered from midcourt back to the end line for Golden State to inbound after Derek Fisher's 3-pointer rolled back up court.
Bryant shot 3 of 12 in the first half and could only score in the third quarter on layups (he made three of those and missed four jumpers). Nevertheless, after nearly losing the ball out of bounds, he turned around and lobbed in a 3-pointer with 37.8 seconds left in the third, cutting Golden State's lead to 86-85. He saved another ball next time down and set up Odom's jumper for a quarter-ending 87-86 Lakers lead.
Charlotte at Lakers, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, FSN, KLAC/570.

If Tampa Bay school districts win a piece of the $700 million federal stimulus money Florida is seeking, they will get it largely without the support of local teachers' unions.
As a state deadline passed Tuesday, school districts across Tampa Bay signed on to Florida's controversial Race to the Top application. But the Hillsborough teacher's union was the only union to join them, after crafting a local agreement that resolved its worries about money and ratification by members.
Union president Jean Clements said Education Commissioner Eric J. Smith's aggressive pursuit of the grant may have pushed many districts away from reforms they're willing to consider. "He has hurt us a great deal, because it's caused a lot of trust issues," she said.
But Board of Education Chairman T. Willard Fair blasted the unions, accusing them of potentially killing Florida's chances to win a piece of the $4.35 billion federal grant because of opposition to performance pay.
"You have too many teachers who are in the twilight of their careers who are simply not prepared to work as hard or as differently as is going to be required going forward," he said.
By Tuesday evening just five unions statewide had joined about 50 districts in applying, according to the Department of Education. The deadline was midnight.
Under Race to the Top, the federal government is offering the money to states that agree to move toward common learning standards and tie teacher pay to student performance on tests. Hillsborough could gain up to $24.4 million and Pinellas could win $14.8 million, while Pasco and Hernando could win $8.2 million and $2.2 million respectively.
Smith said union support was a vital part of the state's application, and sent memos to districts promising flexibility and local control.
But local union officials said they felt pressure to pursue all the reforms at once, with Florida pushing a more restrictive application than even the federal government had recommended.
"It's not a message of collaboration," said Lynne Webb, president of the Pasco teacher's union.
Even some school boards had mixed feelings.
"The whole idea of dangling this carrot in front of school districts saying, 'Take it now or you won't get anything' is asinine," said Hernando board member Sandra Nicholson, who reluctantly joined a 3-2 vote Tuesday in favor of pursuing the grant.
And the Pinellas School Board nearly reversed itself Tuesday after voting last week to pursue the federal money. "Let's not be afraid of change," said Pinellas board member Mary Brown.
Hillsborough district officials promised to sit down with the union and reach an agreement on contract changes that everyone could swallow. And if they fail, superintendent MaryEllen Elia told school board members, "Hillsborough can say we haven't reached agreement, and we can withdraw."

New plugin — Lazy Gallery
I hacked on the original Lazy Gallery plugin and ended up with a really good embeded gallery. This version uses a custom page template called *gallery* that you put in your themes folder and you just edit the main lazy-gallery-plus.php as usual.
All I did was cut out the need for a outside URL that can be a bummer to add into a sidebar or link list.
Plugin can be found here.

Been running hard, being uber healthy in my diet, and getting closer all the time to what I want to call my most efficient running weight - low as humanly possible whilst maintaining fitness and well being, as well as able to improve my times and stamina levels.
Running now feels much easier, breathing/recovery is much better and trail running, which I'm doing more is more positive. Been having fruits more, salads, peanut butter and on longer runs, say over 3 hours can keep going just using body stores.
Run twice a day, xtrain most days and cycle. Am looking for the most efficient balance of calories/body weight/stamina needed for long distance running, as well as keep hitting the miles.
