Primary Outcome Measures:
- A PILOT study to determine Cancer lesion enhancement with CEM and CEBT is non-inferior to that of CEMRI. [ Time Frame: Fall 2012 ]
This Pilot study is designed to evaluate two x-ray contrast methods with contrast enhanced MRI. Each subject will be imaged with CEM, CEBT and CEMRI. The goals for this will be to:
i) Using a Likert scale, Compare the enhancement of breast cancer lesions with CEM, CEBT and CEMRI.
ii) Using a Likert scale, Compare the enhancement of benign breast lesions with CEM, CEBT and CEMRI.
The results of this study will be used to design studies to measure the sensitivity and specificity of CEM and CEBT.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of lesion conspicuity [ Time Frame: up to one year post study enrollment ]Using a Likert scale the CEM and the CBT images will be compared with standard pre-contrast mammography and tomosynthesis images to determine lesion conspicuity.

Freshway Foods is featuring fruits and vegetables from the Great Lakes region.
The Sidney, Ohio-based distributor is sourcing locally-grown produce from farms in Ohio, Michigan and New York, according to a company news release.
The rich soil in the Great Lakes region is perfect for fruits and vegetables, and product spends less time getting to Freshway's customers, according to the release.
Freshway's Great Lakes-sourced produce will be available from July 1 to Oct. 15.
"Consumers are becoming more aware of the distance their food travels from the farm to the plate," Roman Smith, the company's director of procurement, said in the release. "This program reduces our carbon footprint and the 'food miles' to the end consumer."
For more than 25 years, Freshway has sourced local produce from family farms, Dan Purdy, the company's vice president of sales and marketing, said in the release.
"These farms play an important economic role in their communities," he said.

LDS World: Bible, scripture study to avoid deception
Jeff Temple City, CAApril 14, 2011 5:02 p.m.
I must say that I am intrigued by the irony in "Mormoncowboy's" post. The writer seems to be using a text he doesn't believe in to prove...what? That the Book of Mormon is false? That we shouldn't study the scriptures as Frederickson suggests? Or is he just pointing out that The Book of Mormon has some things he doesn't like?
I am also intrigued by Calvinists who want Latter-day Saints to stop being Latter-day Saints and start being Calvinists. We accept Calvinists as Christians, and since we agree with them that Christ is the Son of God and the Author of our salvation, we join with them in being Christians. That does not, however, mean that we need to join them in their brand of Christianity.
Finally, I anm intrigued by the accusation that the only people who are Latter-day Saints are people that don't know anything of the Church's history or people who don't think for themselves. I might recommend to those who think something like this that they get to know more Latter-day Saints. They've been misled by an inadequate sample.

The problem with many of you is that you feel all your sins are forgiven for just taking Christ name upon you. Really, then when do you repent. When does the atonement take place in you? One must be baptized by one with authority to be able to even have a chance of entering into the kingdom. If anyone could have done the Baptism Christ wouldn't have had to go to John the Baptist.
Sin came into the world at the time of the fall of Adam. Before that we were all spirit children of our Heavenly Father. We kept our first estate by accepting our Father's plan. We keep our second by keeping and obeying his commandments. From the time of Adam until today, Father has spoken only through his prophets. Many of you cite the greek translation but with any translation there are faults and misconceptions. There are many who have taken the King James and versed it against some of the Greek and found the King James translation to be more correct. Joseph Smith did a translation of the Bible strickly by revelation. In many ways his translation has been called more correct than Greek.

First to Mormoncowboy: Korihor was an antichrist. Secondly, he never went amoung the Lamanites. He tried first amoung the Nephites and obtained some followers. When he went amoung the people of Ammon who were quite a bit wiser in the teachings of Christ and followed them he could gain no foothold. They then took him before Alma who challenged him at every point. Korihor does the same as many do today and demand a sign. The sign is given as he is struck dumb. In the end he is killed because of his condition. All Alma did is to testify of the things of Christ as taught by the brass plates taken from Laban and the revelations received through Nephi and others. Again you look at what man sees not what is revealed by the Lord.
To the others: Adam was given to commandments in the Garden of Eden, to multiply and replenish the Earth; not to partake of the tree of Good and Evil. He couldn't do one with disobeying the other. Upon partaking of the tree of Good and Evil, life changed from immortality to mortality. Death entered the world at that time. Sin came with it.

Serenity wrote: "we can attain eternal life by being obedient" My dear Serenity, have you kept ALL the laws and ordinances of His Gospel, because that is what is required by the statement in Galatains 3: 10 "Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." Now you may well say that refers to the Law God gave by Moses, but as sharrona would be quick to go to the Greek, so the next verse does NOT have "the" before "law" therefore meaning any kind of list of rules and ends with "The just shall live by faith." Meaning those who have been justified by faith, and I might emphasize: faith alone, continue their living by faith (believing) which is obeying the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1: 8). Dear Serenity, being a just one comes by God counting you righteous simply because you believe: see Romans 4: 3 quote of Genesis 15: 6. How righteous? "that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" 2 Corinthians 5: 21 "Him" is Christ. Once you get "in Him" you get God's (Jesus') righteousness written on your account.

Cephas,The disciples believed that a man could have acted (for good or for bad) prior to life on earth."
The Rabbis falsely taught that the soul sinned in a pre-existent state. They also held that a terrible punishment came some people from the sin of their parents. Jesus plainly contradicts these beliefs in(John 9:3).
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.(Mt 16:17 KJV) God is Spirit (John 4:24).
Moroni 7:47 . "But charity(love)is the pure love of Christ . Makes no sense in the original Greek. Charity, mid-12c.,benevolence for the poor," caritas from the Latin Vulgate often used as translation of Greek, agape "love". Charity is the Latin translation of agape(love).
higv Dietrich, IDApril 11, 2011 7:15 a.m.
I knew people that called commercials just to bash the missionaries. Thing is they tell missionaries they beleive things they never heard of. The Lord will go through proper channels to get his point across not enemeis of the faith.
Cephas The Wilds of, NHApril 11, 2011 6:52 a.m.
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
The disciples believed that a man could have acted (for good or for bad) prior to life on earth. Jesus did not challenge that belief. Only that this was not the cause of this man's blindness.
Serenity Manti, UTApril 10, 2011 10:58 p.m.
Seeingblind: Paul writes "as in Adam all have sinned, so in Christ all shall be made alive" 1 Corinthians 15:22. You are quoting Psalms from the Old Testament, which was written before the Atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, thus purchasing us through His sacrifice. Prior to that, we were all alienated from God. Mankind was without hope. Through the sacrifice of the Holy One of Israel, the only begotten Son of God, we are no longer in the state of sinfulness at birth. This was a state of not having any recourse to God because of Adams transgression. Through Christ we can attain eternal life by being obedient to the laws and ordinances of His Gospel. Adam's sin, or original sin, has been taken away through the shedding of blood of our Savior. Thus man can again approach God and be held accountable only for his own sins, but not for Adams disobedience to God. That quote from Romans was talking about men's sins, not Adams'. That's where repentence comes in. You are blessed if you truly repent, God will forgive you.
seeingblind Spanish Fork, UTApril 10, 2011 8:22 p.m.
Cephas, please think, man, think. Haven't you read 1 Corinthians 15: 46 "Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual." Your church doctrine teaches a pre- existence of spiritual elements while the Holy Bible declares first comes the natural physical universe and afterwards comes the spiritual. So who are you going to believe: the Holy Bible (God's word) or your "prophets?"
Cephas The Wilds of, NHApril 10, 2011 8:12 p.m.
I came from a background where I had never heard of Joseph Smith or the Book of Mormon. My automatic presumption was certainly not that the Book of Mormon was true, that Joseph was a prophet, or that the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ could be found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I looked at everything critically and several times. I read everything I could about it. My conclusion (and that of many other converts like myself) after decades of study and prayer?
Joseph experienced what he claimed, the scriptures he received are true, and the keys he was given reside now with Thomas Monson..
Reference Charity. Moroni 7:47 says it best. "But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him."
seeingblind Spanish Fork, UTApril 10, 2011 8:07 p.m.
sharrona, I know of a preacher who claimed you must have four years of college level Greek studies before you can adequately understand the Holy Bible. I'm not convinced that's true, but it certainly helps and especially the verb tenses, whereby we can know with certainty that we are saved and garranteed.
The point of this article is that scripture, Scripture itself is the only sure foundation for faith and salvation, BUT the problem with the article is that it doesn't separate out all false scripture, so we are insisting that Scripture means only the Holy Bible. Are you with me?
sharrona layton, UtApril 10, 2011 7:43 p.m.
Thinkman, Bible,scripture study(Greek) to avoid deception.
The Love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, Examples, Charity(love)never fails(1Cor 13:8) or Faith hope and charity(love)(1 Corinthians 13:13). The Greek word agape is often translated "love" in the New Testament. How is "agape love" different from other types of love? The essence of agape love is self-sacrifice. Unlike our English word love, agape is not used in the Bible to refer to romantic or sexual love. Nor does it refer to close friendship or brotherly love, for which the Greek word philia is used. Nor does agape mean charity, a term which the King James translators carried over from the Latin. Agape love is unique and is distinguished by its nature and character. Agape is love which is of and from God, whose very nature is love itself.
seeingblind Spanish Fork, UTApril 10, 2011 6:43 p.m.
The doctrine of original sin is clearly rejected in Christs church.
Thinkman, I'm glad you're a thinker and encouraging Mormons to think for themselves about how unsound the claims of Joseph Smith are.
Psalm 58: 3 "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies."
Psalm 51: 5 "Behold, I was shapened in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me."
Both of these verses clearly state we are sinners before we were born and continue that life style the moment we leave the womb. Now either Christ's church believes the Holy Bible like Christ did or it is not Christ's church.
Coleman51 writes: "The scriptures should indeed be the foundation of truth when one is enlightened by the Holy Ghost." Well, it can only be, but which scriptures? Jesus quoted the Psalms and we can be absolutely sure they are correct as His words and He said they'd not pass away and that He'd preserve them (Psalm 12: 7) until all be fulfilled.
Solution: Romans 4: 8 "Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." Psalm 32: 2
Thinkman Provo, UTApril 10, 2011 5:39 p.m.
The LDS church leaders, both local and general teach its members to study the Bible and other LDS scriptures so that the members will have reinforced in their minds that the scriptures are "true" and that the church is "true."
I have found after studying them very sincerely and for many years and even "teaching" from them that I have actually been deceived into believing the LDS church is "true." If you continually study, read and "testify" of the scriptures and not look with a critical eye at the validity of the claims of the LDS church and it's claimed divinity, then you will likely continue to be deceived into believing the Book of Mormon is "scripture" and not a work of fiction. If you instead use your mind and question the claims of "truth" by Joseph Smith, Thomas Monson, et.al., and be honestly open to the possibility that it is all a lie, then may find out that the LDS church isn't God's "true" church.
I'm not a child of hell or a fallen angel but instead someone who chooses to think rather than just bow my head and say yes.
coleman51 Orem, UTApril 10, 2011 5:30 p.m.
Very good article and well thought out. The scriptures should indeed be the foundation of truth when one is enlightened by the Holy Ghost. One will avoid deception if one subscribes to what the article is trying to convey.
Mormoncowboy Provo, UtApril 10, 2011 10:43 a.m.
The story of Korihor presents the problems that religious thinkers have in defending their positions. Conveniently The Book of Mormon, in these instances (Alma 30) presents its defense as a binary argument on God (Paschals Wager). In response to Korihors request for evidence, Alma notes "all things denote there is a God", even the planets he says. Great! Now what if the issue was multi-variate, or in other words - sectarian. What would Alma's response have been to "which of all these Church's are true", and how can any one of them prove it?
Yes, in the "story" Alma is able to pronounce a punishment and Korihor is made aware - yet then the story get's real puzzling. Korihor admits that he was decieved by Satan, posing as an angel of light, into to preaching against God? Perhaps seeing an angel should have been clue for Korihor? It seems rather illogical as a "true" story.
Another startling lesson is the undertones against religious tolerance. The chapter speaks quite negatively of the Nephites who had no laws against belief. They are contrasted against the wiser Lamanites who quickly arrest and try Korihor in their courts, strictly for preaching.

In my niche, everyone has been pushed below the fold, outranked by Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy. Some Walmart pages do not even have a single word of unique content, and in my niche their selection is very limited and consists of the lowest end China made products. What a shame ..
The days when the big companies were completely clueless about seo and the small guy could overtake them are probably drawing to a close.

Rare copy number variants (CNVs) are frequently associated with common neurological disorders such as mental retardation (MR; learning disability), autism, and schizophrenia. CNV screening in clinical practice is limited because pathological CNVs cannot be distinguished routinely from benign CNVs, and because genes underlying patients' phenotypes remain largely unknown. Here, we present a novel, statistically robust approach that forges links between 148 MR-associated CNVs and phenotypes from approximately 5,000 mouse gene knockout experiments. These CNVs were found to be significantly enriched in two classes of genes, those whose mouse orthologues, when disrupted, result in either abnormal axon or dopaminergic neuron morphologies. Additional enrichments highlighted correspondences between relevant mouse phenotypes and secondary presentations such as brain abnormality, cleft palate, and seizures. The strength of these phenotype enrichments (>100% increases) greatly exceeded molecular annotations (<30% increases) and allowed the identification of 78 genes that may contribute to MR and associated phenotypes. This study is the first to demonstrate how the power of mouse knockout data can be systematically exploited to better understand genetically heterogeneous neurological disorders.

IntervalZero's RTX64 and RTX turn Windows into an RTOS
IntervalZero (formerly Ardence and Venturcom) RTX is the only software solution architected as a high-performance real-time extension to control Microsoft Windows. RTX is proven in thousands of demanding applications providing enhanced performance, control, scalability combined with unmatched dependability for: industrial automation; military/aerospace; test and measurement equipment; robotics; and many other industries while reducing system costs and speeding time to market.
Deterministic, hard real-time performance – plus the Windows user experience
Microsoft Windows offers a world-class interface and excellent development tools for embedded systems. However, for mission-critical threads that require hard real-time, deterministic responses – e.g. robots, vision systems, simulators, test and measurement systems – the Windows scheduler cannot deliver the necessary prioritization and control.
Replace dedicated DSP and FPGA hardware with a Windows PC
The untapped power of the latest Intel multicore processors is a match for demanding signal processing tasks, currently performed by expensive dedicated DSP or FPGA hardware, running incompatible and difficult-to-maintain firmware. RTX SMP allows users to harness the available power of up to 32 PC processor cores to take on the most demanding DSP tasks, in professional audio, video, medical imaging and simulation applications.
With IntervalZero's RTX and RTX64 software, developers can take advantage of both the Windows environment and form factor, and also solve all their scheduling, prioritization and control challenges. RTX is a self-contained real-time subsystem that bypasses the Windows' scheduler to provide the desired determinism and hard real-time response.
RTX architecture is a true extension in that it does not encapsulate Windows and does not interfere with or modify the Windows infrastructure. By maintaining this separation, the RTX real-time subsystem (RTSS) ensures that RTX-based applications survive Windows crashes.
The RTX real-time subsystem is designed around a high-speed scheduler that utilizes both priority-driven and preemptive algorithms. RTX supports up to 997 independent processes, with each process supporting unlimited threads. Fine-grained control over applications is assured with 128 levels of assignable thread priority.
RTX64 is a native 64-bit implementation of RTX, which affords access to 128GB of non-paged memory and genuine 64-bit performance
RTX for RealTime Windows spans multiple markets
Industrial Automation
Some of the world's most demanding high-speed control and automation applications are running on standard Windows PCs using IntervalZero's Embedded software solutions.
Customers have eliminated their dedicated "real-time" PCs, DSPs and PLCs in favor of an RTX-enabled unified Windows-based control system.
Using RTX, companies such as Siemens, Honda, MDSI and Hurco are delivering high-performance control systems for Computerized Numerical Control, Motion-Control, Material Handling/Sortation and Discrete Control.
The benefits include:
- Reduced material costs
- Reduced development times
- More flexible and customizable systems
- Reduced field-support costs
RTX loads as a driver to Windows and takes over the Windows scheduler and interrupt service. RTX processes have 128 priority levels – all higher than Windows and microsecond response time.
RTX has real-time support for all of the popular communication protocols such as TCP/IP, Modbus TCP, ControlNet/DeviceNet, Profibus, ASI, Industrial Ethernet and others.
Digital Audio
By combining Microsoft Windows, x86 multicore and IntervalZero's symmetric-multiprocessing-enabled RTX software, Digital Media Systems OEMs and system owners take full advantage of the breakthrough capabilities of Soft-Control Architectures. Doing so enables them to achieve significant cost, productivity and quality improvements by replacing expensive, proprietary DSP/PowerPC/FPGA hardware with software components.

The genuine NLSAgentSvc.exe file is a software component of Net Monitor for Employees Professional by Network LookOut.
NLSAgentSvc.exe is the main executable for the Net Monitor for Employees program. This program is used to monitor remote computers connected through a network. This allows the user to look at information displayed on the remote computers' screens. This is not an essential Windows file and may be removed if suspected of creating problems. Numerous anti-virus programs report this as a spyware program, so please use it at your discretion.
NLSAgentSvc stands for Network Lookout Spy Agent Service
The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the NLSAgentSvc.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as NLSAgentSvc.exe appears to belong to software unknown by EduIQ.com Damjan Kriznik s.p (www.eduiq.com).
Description: NLSAgentSvc.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. NLSAgentSvc.exe is located in a subfolder of C:\Windows\System32.
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 1,246,472 bytes (25% of all occurrences), 1,228,976 bytes and 8 more variants.
There is no information about the author of the file. The program is not visible. NLSAgentSvc.exe is not a Windows system file. NLSAgentSvc.exe is digitally signed. The process uses ports to connect to or from a LAN or the Internet. NLSAgentSvc.exe is able to connect to the Internet, record keyboard and mouse inputs and monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 75% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify NLSAgentSvc.exe related errors
Important: Some malware also uses the file name NLSAgentSvc.exe, for example Trojan.Generic.825178 (detected by F-Secure), and Win32:Trojan-gen (detected by Avast). Therefore, you should check the NLSAgentSvc.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with NLSAgentSvc. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the NLSAgentSvc.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. BMalwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

TFS 2010 Connection Error
I am havng a problem configuring my team foundation server from the Administration Console. I have installed:
Windows 7 Professional
SQL Server 2012 - Developer
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
Team Foundation Server 2010
When I go into the administration console and begin the configuration process, for a basic configuration, I first get a warning in the readiness checks. It reads:
[ Configuration Database ] The following database already exists, but cannot be used as part of this installation of Team Foundation Server: Tfs_Configuration. The database is hosted on the following server: Matthew-PC\SqlExpress. You can manually delete or rename this database before you continue, but it is not required. If you do not, the database will be renamed as part of the installation process.
Then, when I try to go ahead and configure anyway, I get this error
TF255356: The following error occurred when configuring the Team Foundation databases: Error occurred while executing servicing step Register Configuration Database for component Install during Install: TF246017: Team Foundation Server could not connect to the database. Verify that the server that is hosting the database is operational, and that network problems are not blocking communication with the server.. For more information, see the configuration log.
How can I fix this?
I am simply trying to collaborate with other students in my class on a project using TFS and Visual Studio. If more information is needed or my question is not clear, please let me know and I will be happy to elaborate. Thanks so much for your time!

All replies
As an addition: In my list of installed programs, SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 are also listed as I know at least 2008 is required to use Team Foundation Server 2010.Monday, April 23, 2012 5:06 AM
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your post.
Seems Tfs-Configuration databse has already hosted on server: Matthew-PC\SqlExpress, now you want to configure new TFS on new SQL instance, it is conflict with the exists one.
Could you remove/rename the database so that you can configure new one.
Best regards,
Lily Wu [MSFT]

Hi Matthew,
You mentioned that you have SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition, but looks like you are trying to use an instance of SQL Express.
Can you check if Tfs_Configuration database exists in you SQL Express instance?
Was this your first attempt to configure TFS?
If you do have Tfs_Configuration database, can you rename or drop it and try to configure again? Make sure that the database is not used before you drop it.

Here is a picture of what my Sql Server Management Studio Window Looks Like:
I have tried many times to congifure TFS but neither of these databases work. I have also since tried removing them and renaming them as well. On my computer, I had previously uninstalled SQL Server 2008 R2 and then installed SQL Server 2012 and to be honest do not think I uninstalled R2 correctly. :-P It sounds as though I need to reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2 for TFS to work correctly and to allow me to configure it. If no other way seems feasable for me to make things work with SQL Server 2012, can someone please point me to a resource that will show me how to uninstall SQL Server 2012 correctly and reinstall 2008 R2?
Thank you so much for the help from everyone! I hope to be able to help others on the forum in the future!Monday, April 30, 2012 7:36 PM
About un-install SQL server 2012 and re-install SQL server 2008 R2, i suggest you go to SQL forum, you can get better support there.
If anything about TFS is unclear, please free feel to let me know.

Hi Matthew,
according to screenshot you have SQL Express 2008 (not SQL Express 2008 R2). If you do not mind, could you zip up logs from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Server Configuration\Logs folder and e-mail them to me?
My email: vladimir.khvostov @ mstf dot com.

Let me just ask a question to clarify things.
Are you looking to setup TFS on your machine to have other use your machine as the TFS environment? or are you trying to setup your environment to connect to an already existing TFS environment?
Enrique Lima | Senior Consultant - Pinnacle of Indiana| http://geekswithblogs.com/enriquelimaSaturday, May 05, 2012 9:45 PM
I am sorry, how can this be marked as the answer? I have noticed a number of posts going "answered" like this. If you read the question an issue correctly, SQL Server 2012 is not even part of the issue.
Enrique Lima | Senior Consultant - Pinnacle of Indiana| http://geekswithblogs.com/enriquelimaSunday, May 20, 2012 11:58 AM
Dear Everyone,
After a few months of using SQL Server Management Studio, I have finally begun to understand how to use things and what is actually happenening. I had tried all along to continue to get TFS to work, and now I have finally enabled my TFS.
I believe what was going on, (and since months have gone by, configurations could have changed and the problem could definitely have been solved in other ways), based on your replies, was that I was typing in the name of the server incorrectly, when I was asked which server to configure. I needed to use "Matthew-PC" and type this exactly, NOT "Matthew-PC\" or anything else. This server did not appear, however, in my drop down list. Therefore, I believe that was why it was so difficult for me to discover what to type. It also seems that TFS 2010 and SQL Server 2012 work in perfect harmony, which is great.
I'm so sorry if my error was one of simplicity and inexperience.
Thank you for all your concern and assistance. I'm not sure how to close out this post, but thanks again!

MSI A88X-G45 Gaming Assassin's Creed Edition Review
Results: HD Tach- SATA 6G
To get another view of File System performance, we dust off HD tach. The short test was used.
HD Tach is pretty old, but it has repeatable results and it illuminates certain areas of performance. The MSI board performs a little better in burst, but in terms of average throughput they match perfectly.
I think what everyone wants to know is... where is the CMOS battery located?
If you bothered to read... it is in the optimal position for a cmos battery. Excellent placement, solid holder, and easy to access. What more could one want from a cmos battery?
Well I clearly fail at comprehension!
Also failed at 'CTRL-F'ing CMOS just incase I failed at reading.
I suppose if you're going to fail you may as well do it right!
Hey, only 1 in 10 knows what ctrl-f does! Hell, I didn't! Talk about a f-up...
By the Southbridge heatsink. Just look at the board for a minute next time...
Can you calm down please?
First page, second to last paragraph: "Hippon Chemi-con". Did you mean Nippon or is this some new startup I've never heard of?
1.288v for the maximum overclock seems a bit low, people were regularly giving Piledriver chips 1.5v, even on air. Is this just the standard voltage range for Steamroller? What cooler did you use? How is the power consumption when overclocked?
Good review and motherboard, 4.7ghz on a 4 phase board is certainly impressive.
I believe it is in fact Nippon Chemi-con... mistyped that.
AMD scales the voltage up and down, so that screenshot of the overclock had the voltage down. I believe that the actual peak voltage was around 1.45 (I used an offset of around 0.15v in the firmware). I used one of the larger AMD stock coolers for the FX-8350. Temps never got higher than 55C on a warm day and overclocked. Power consumption did increase by about 30 watts.
Got a bulldog in my Learjet
Gonna teach him how to fly!
By myself...
Does it have a Discharge Button?
Sadly... it does not.
Sorry Josh...but why you even bother write review, if this board dosn't have such essential futures like discharge button...i just dont get it...((-:LOL...very nice review BTW.
How unfortunate thet this will never be launched in India.:(
Nope, FX-6300 is AM3+ while this is a FM2+ motherboard. Totally different sockets, so the AM3+ FX chips will not run in it.
but where is the discharge button?
I expect that MSI ensures the box contents .. no insurance req.
Where the m-itx beef? amd + m-itx ??
Heh, insure/ensure can be somewhat interchangeable... depending on usage. I guaruntee it?
Gigabyte has a nice m-itx A88X board. I'm using it for an upcoming review this week. Not sure if other manufacturers see m-itx boards for AMD as a profitable endeavor.
Josh, I just completed a ASROCK A88X-itx build with a A10-7870K. 2400Mhz Team memory. When the APU is bumped up to 4.2Ghz I was amazed how responsive this thing was. I had 6 video streams open and 2 music files playing while I opened 10 more web pages, smooth as silk.
Very nice! I just wish AMD would start pumping up the clockspeed on these Kaveri parts, but alas... they have yet to do so.
Can I play Assassin's Creed in this board with high settings without video card???? or on board graphics only????

ALBANY, N.Y. — For several years, the families of the Early
Childhood Center at the Sidney Albert Albany Jewish Community Center have
participated in Mitzvah — good deeds or acts of kindness.
Recently, Phyllis Frisch, the curriculum specialist at the
JCC, saw a report on ABC detailing how children in homeless shelters often do
not have birthday parties. As both a parent and teacher she was deeply moved by
this. She asked if she could create a mitzvah project to help bring birthday
parties to children in shelters.
The Birthday Bag Project was timed to coordinate with the
celebration of Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish holiday that celebrates the "birthday of
the trees" in Israel. Each classroom picked two birthday party themes. Families
in each class were asked to donate items needed to throw a birthday party:
invitations, plates, cups, decorations, cake mix, cake pans, frosting, and
The response was amazing.
Originally Phyllis thought that she would have two bags from
each of the 17 classrooms or 34 bags. She was delighted with the generosity of
all of the families and staff. The final count was 74 bags — more than twice
the original estimate.
When Phyllis contacted Angie at the Food Pantries for the
Capital District, the organization that will distribute the bags, Angie was
overwhelmed. She said that "no one has ever donated that many bags before."
The JCC is now looking forward to repeating the Birthday Bag
Mitzvah Project next year with an even higher goal.

Tummy Tuck Surgery for Men
I am a man, 54 years old who had attained a weight of over 300 pounds. Over the course of about 2 or 3 years of dieting and daily exercise I reduced my weight to 155lbs (I lost over 150 pounds). This left me with a lot of excess skin around my belly and midsection. Since I didn't want to live with this for the rest of my life, I decided to look into a Tummy Tuck operation. I did... READ MORE

I have never heard of lipo tightening skin either. Tummy tuck was the only real way that I found for that. As far as the scarring goes, the scars are hid beneath the swimsuit or underwear line and fade with time. But it does take a... READ COMMENT

Mark Duggan inquest jury retires
The jury at the inquest into the death of Mark Duggan, shot by police, has retired to consider its ruling.
The 29-year-old was killed in August 2011 in Tottenham, north London, after police stopped a taxi he was in.
Judge Keith Cutler said jurors could decide he was either shot lawfully or unlawfully, or return an open verdict.
Judge Cutler told them they must be sure, "beyond all reasonable doubt", Mr Duggan was unarmed, to return an unlawful killing conclusion.
Mr Duggan's death sparked the first riots in Tottenham, which later spread to other parts of London and England.
'Lethal force'
The jury was told to consider several questions, including whether Mr Duggan had a gun, whether a gun was in his hand when he was shot and how a gun came to end up in a grassy area near where he was shot.
Judge Cutler also told jurors to examine whether the Metropolitan Police and the Serious Organised Crime Agency did "the best they reasonably could have done" to react to the intelligence that Mr Duggan had a gun.
The jury also need to consider if Mr Duggan was stopped by police in a location in which they could have "minimised recourse to lethal force".
During the inquest, the jury heard from a witness who filmed the aftermath of the shooting in Ferry Lane.
Witness B said the father-of-four was surrendering when he was shot by police and Mr Duggan was holding a phone rather than a gun, contrary to what the police officer who opened fire told the court.
The officer, identified only as V53, told the jury Mr Duggan held the gun at hip level and "crossed a line in the sand".

Teen accused of causing $10,000 damage at park
A speeding teenager caused at least $10,000 in damage at Fred Howard Park on Thursday evening when he spun out of control, authorities said. According to arrest reports, 18-year-old Michael Banoub was driving a 2000 Acura Integra through the park around 6 p.m. while arguing with a passenger in another car. Witnesses estimated he was doing about 40 mph along the park's winding roads where the speed limit is 15 mph. His speed endangered numerous bicyclists, joggers, pedestrians and other cars that were in the area, Tarpon Springs police said. His Acura hit the park's front gate, the gate's motor assembly and a concrete pole that holds a traffic counter, officers said. Banoub, of 8233 Night Owl Court in New Port Richey, was charged with reckless driving with property damage, a misdemeanor.

"Human Barbie" Sarah Burge Gifts Boob Job to 7-year-old Daughter
Princess 19 on 16 Jun 2011 at 9:00am
In the category of "you can't make this stuff up," a recent story has hit the news regarding a mom who gifted a boob job - TO HER 7-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER!
Move over Octomom and Botox mom, this lady is vying for the next "Mother of the Year" award. As reported by such outlets as NY Daily News and the Daily Mail, British mom Sarah Burge recently bought her young daughter a gift certificate for a breast augmentation. Mind you, the $9850 voucher is only good AFTER she turns 16 (UK's legal age for surgery). Still, the gift is shock-worthy. Even more shocking is that her daughter, Poppy, actually asked for this as her birthday present. Perhaps she was slightly influenced by her party planner/self-proclaimed plastic surgery addict mom?
"Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she's 16, when it's legal, " said the Ms. Burge, who is also an "erotic novelist."
"I can't wait to be like Mummy with big boobs," says young Poppy. "They're pretty."
Her mom goes on to say, "'If she develops naturally big boobs, she can have something else done with it." Well, at least we know her coupon is transferable.
The coupon was part of an almost $20,000 "exotic pamper party" Ms. Burge, a.k.a. "The Human Barbie," had organized for her daughter's birthday. Really, we are not making this up. She made headlines before as she gave pole dancing lessons to her daughter at age six.
Ms. Burge, who has spent over $800,000 on plastic surgery for herself, completely defends her choices as being a loving and supportive mother.
"Some people think it's controversial and I get angry when strangers say I'm a bad mother because I don't think there's any harm in giving her this gift," she said.
"Poppy is a normal kid who is good at sports and loves playing outside. Girls don't want Snow White and Cinderella any more. They want to be WAGs [wives and girlfriends of soccer players] and famous like [UK singer] Cheryl Cole and Lady Gaga. I'm just supporting her and making her dreams come true."
What do you think? We have covered the subject of young breast augmentation before, but this young? According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 47.4% of last year's implants for girls 18 and under were "Purely cosmetic bilateral breast augmentation." Could this be trending even younger soon?
Parents, please weigh in.

Good News, Bad News For SodaStream Amid Coca-Cola, Green Mountain Hoookup
Last night, Coca-Cola's (KO) partnership with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) was the pop heard round the world, as Coke placed a big bet on home carbonation. Today, investors are trying to figure out what it means for SodaStream International (SODA) and its own home carbonation business.
KeyBanc's Akshay Jagdale and Lubi Kutua expect SodaStream, which had dropped 28% so far this year, to keep losing its fizz. They write:
We believe [Coca-Cola's] decision to partner with [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] on its cold beverage platform validates the home carbonation category (i.e., significantly mitigates fears of "fad" risk), but, more importantly, signals who [Coca-Cola] believes the leader in the category is likely to be.
Given [Coca-Cola's] endorsement of [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] as its single-serve partner in the fast-growing home carbonation category, as well as [SodaStream's] recent poor operating results (the Company negatively preannounced 4Q13 earnings on January 13, 2014), we believe investors are likely to view [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] as the emerging leader in home carbonation, and we, therefore, expect that the recent negative sentiment on [SodaStream's] stock is likely to deteriorate further. As such, we believe current developments in the home carbonation category warrant a more cautious view on [SodaStream's] stock, and we are therefore downgrading our rating to a HOLD (from a BUY) until we see a more compelling reason to own the name.
Uh uh, says Citigroup's Wendy Nicholson, who thinks SodaStream can benefit from the deal between Coca-Cola and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. She writes:
We think there are several things to consider with regard to what this deal means for [SodaStream]. 1. This deal validates the home carbonation category, and when [Coca-Cola] + [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] start to advertise and market the cold platform, we think that could be good for [SodaStream] (especially as we believe [SodaStream] will be a considerably lower-priced system than the [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] cold drink platform). 2. We hope [SodaStream] hurries up and signs an agreement with [PepsiCo (PEP) (or Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS), or crazier yet, Nestle/Nespresso) so that they too can offer premium/popular branded flavors to make with their machine. 3. We think the cost to compete likely goes up, and we suspect [SodaStream's] marketing expenses will rise. 4. We are glad that [SodaStream] has another 12+ month head start to figure out how to leverage its first-mover advantage in the category. 5. We think folks should remember that ~2/3 of [SodaStream's] profits come from Europe, where [SodaStream's] sales have grown 20%+ in each of the last two years, and where [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters] barely plays. Of course [Coca-Cola] can help hasten [Green Mountain Coffee Roasters'] entry into Europe, but in all practical terms, Europe should still be a good business for [SodaStream] for years to come.
Investors appear to agree with the latter, if only because SodaStream might now be a ready takeover target for one of Coca-Cola's competitors (personally, I wonder how much of an impediment SodaStream's West Bank factories might be to a deal). Shares of SodaStream have gained, while Green Mountain Coffee has, Coca-Cola has, PepsiCo has and Dr. Pepper Snapple has.

Here's research that will be welcome news to thriving car-makers — and a blow to ones that are struggling. Young people tend to buy the same brands of cars as their parents, subtly inheriting their mothers' and fathers' preferences for, say a General Motors or Ford vehicle.
Parents' influence in car-buying isn't the only family factor. Cousins and grandparents also play a role, with a whole network of relatives swaying a young adult's preference in cars.
The findings are based on data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, a household survey that has been run since 1968 by the University of Michigan. The research was done by Soren Anderson of Michigan State University, Ryan Kellogg of the University of Michigan, Ashley Langer of the University of Arizona and James M. Sallee of the University of Chicago. Researchers found "strong correlations in automobile choices across generations within a family. Specifically, a child whose parent has recently purchased a given brand is 39% more likely to choose that same brand … than a demographically similar child whose parent did not choose that brand."
Past studies have uncovered similar intergenerational influence in preferences for food and other goods, but not big-ticket items such as cars. That means that car manufacturers who have a lock on one family have good reason to expect the business to continue down to the next generation. At the same time, carmakers who hope to expand by poaching buyers from rivals have an uphill battle.
Carmakers perpetuate this by churning out a range of models and styles, so that a Toyota family can remain a Toyota family, even if one member is leaning toward a sport-utility vehicle and another a pickup truck.
Other interesting economic research this week:
Report Card
Do grade-school teachers do better jobs if they are subject to rigorous performance reviews and incentives? Yes, say Thomas Dee of Stanford and James Wyckoff of the University of Virginia. The authors based their research on a program developed for Washington, D.C., public schools by Michelle Rhee, the system's former chancellor. Ms. Rhee became something of a lightning rod because of the program, which involved student test scores, comprehensive teacher evaluations and a host of carrots and sticks to improve educator performance. Messrs. Dee and Wyckoff found such programs tended to weed out teachers who weren't doing that well — and spurred high-performing educators with financial incentives.
Hot Air
The Kyoto Protocol, the Montreal Protocol, the Oslo Protocol – what next? Over the years, countries have spent substantial amount of time and money forging international environmental accords. But has that effort and investment paid off? Although the effectiveness of such international pacts is hard to measure, Derek Kellenberg of the University of Montana and Arik Levenson of Georgetown tried to do just that. They took on the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Waste and their Disposal, and found "almost no evidence that the Convention has resulted in less waste being shipped among countries." A finding that should go a long way to preventing further waste.
Taking Chances
The ordeal of going through a natural disaster has a persistent chilling effect on an individual's propensity to take risks. A study in rural Indonesia found that people who had just lived through a flood or an earthquake were less likely to take financial risks than those who hadn't endured such ordeals. Such an effect could have serious economic consequences, damping recoveries after financial shocks. "Natural disasters change people's beliefs," wrote authors Lisa Cameron of Monash University in Australia and Manisha Shah of the University of California, Los Angeles. "We show that individuals who recently experienced a natural disaster perceive the world to be a riskier place. People (inaccurately) update their perception of background risk after experiencing a disaster. They report unrealistically high probabilities that another will occur in the next year and that it will be severe. These perceptions persist for several years."
Playing Favorites
Older children who say their parents were easier on their younger siblings aren't just complaining. They're right! Parents are indeed less stringent on their younger children, say V. Joseph Hotz of Duke University and Juan Pantano, who tapped data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The researchers found that when children received bad grades in school, parents were stricter disciplinarians with older sons and daughters, and more lenient with younger ones. "We find very robust evidence of birth order effects in some measures of school performance that is entirely consistent with children responding to the strategic use of parental monitoring and discipline…. Based on this measure, we find parents engaging in strategic parenting practices by birth order," the authors write.

How does this program help me?
Sometimes foreclosure is the only option. In such a case you can try to do a deed-in-lieu. A deed-in-lieu is when you agree to save the lender the hassle of going through the foreclosure process by signing the deed to your house over to them. Remember, a foreclosure is an expensive option for a lender, there are legal fees, more missed payments and sometimes even damage to the house. In exchange for helping the lender get title to the house quickly you would want the lender to agree to not come after you for their losses (and get it in writing).
Who should I contact?
Only your servicer can do this program. Your servicer is the company you mail your monthly mortgage payments to. Get out your monthly mortgage statement and call the customer service number on it. Ask if they will consider a deed-in-lieu. It is often their "loss mitigation" department that handles these types of programs so they might transfer your call there.
In addition, we highly recommend that you get a consultation with a real estate attorney and/or a bankruptcy attorney about the legal differences between a short sale and a foreclosure! There are significant differences and ramifications between the two and each has different protections from the lender coming after you for their losses at a later date. Click here for a nationwide lawyer referral service or ask friends and family for recommendations. Also, talk to your accountant/tax preparer about the potential tax consequences.
What should I expect?
There are many reasons why a lender won't, or can't, accept a deed-in-lieu. Don't be surprised if they say no. However, it is certainly worth asking about.

A visual pun erected by a Carlsbad resident had motorists scratching their heads earlier this week in the La Costa area.
Someone bolted a 6-foot-tall sculpture of a fork to the asphalt median at the intersection of Levante Street and Anillo Way, where Anillo forks away from Levante, a few blocks east of El Camino Real and south of La Costa Boulevard.
By 2 p.m. Wednesday, the upright "fork in the road" sculpture ---- which was made out of wood painted silver ---- was gone, replaced by a 2-foot-tall, hand-lettered sign that said, "Why the fork not?"
The creator of the fork said Thursday he's a recently retired school teacher, and that he would prefer to remain anonymous because of the possility the city might consider his project graffiti and fine him for it.
"I live in the neighborhood," he said. "I moved in ... about 35 years ago. When I would give directions, I would tell people you go up Levante and turn at the fork in the road."
He said he got the idea for his project from "The Muppet Movie" that came out in 1979, in which the Muppets drive past a giant fork in the road.
"I'm not an artist," the man said. "I've never built anything, but it's something I've always wanted to do."
Several city officials said Wednesday morning they had seen digital pictures of the large utensil, but no one seemed to know where it came from.
"I don't think it will stay," said Colleen Finnegan, Carlsbad's community arts coordinator. "As a government employee, I know they (city officials) will look and say this is really clever, but is it safe for traffic?"
Spontaneous art projects can be "a really fun surprise," Finnegan said, but she added that they also can cause problems.
A good example is the Surfing Madonna, a mosaic tile mural of Madonna on a surfboard riding a wave that was affixed early last year to the concrete wall of a railroad bridge abutment on Encinitas Boulevard in Leucadia.
The unauthorized mural became very popular and was somewhat of a tourist attraction, but it raised numerous issues such as the rights of public access. The artist, Mark Patterson, came forward only after Encinitas officials said the mural would have to be removed and that it could be damaged in the process.
The mural was removed from the bridge weeks later with Patterson's cooperation and later reinstalled on the wall of a building in Leucadia.
Carlsbad spokeswoman Kristina Ray said the city streets department removed the fork sculpture Wednesday morning.
"We do have it," Ray said. "If somebody wants to come and claim it, they can have it."
Some sort of identification would be necessary, she said, but the city is unlikely to stick anyone with a penalty for the fork.
"Our first approach is just to inform the person and ask for compliance," she said. "We appreciate the creativity. We just can't allow it for safety reasons."
The La Costa resident said he probably won't claim his creation because, "What would I do with it now?"
He said he spent about a month on the project, working mostly in his garage and a friend's wood shop. Wearing an orange vest and with a black plastic bag over the prongs of the fork, he installed it Tuesday morning with help from his son.
"It was fun while it lasted," he said. "But it only lasted about 24 hours."

I had a chance today to play a brand new small Kawai grand. Boy, what a difference from my residence piano. The Kawai was pleasant to play, however, it sounded like a blanket was placed over it. I realize that these are fine machines, but how many out there like a muted versus a bright piano? I, personally, like a strident cutting tone. What say all?

Talib watched Bucs game from his own suite
Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib watched the Bucs 17-14 win over the Cleveland Browns Sunday from his own suite at Raymond James Stadium.
Suspended players are not allowed to attend games, even as a spectator, according to Greg Aiello, the NFL's director of communications.
So Talib violated the terms of his one-game suspension, then lied about where he viewed the game, saying he watched it on television from his home in Dallas.
Talib's suite is located in the corner of one of the end zones. He watched the game with friends and family members, according to several fans who received autographs from him during the game.
The NFL is reviewing the matter, but Talib and/or the Bucs will likely face fines or worse. The team fears a possible loss of draft picks, but that would seem to be the extreme sanction.
Many NFL players purchase suites or club seats at RJS for friends and family members.

Since 1996 ALSscan has been binging the hottest all natural nude models with smooth shaved pussies to us on a daily basis. Today is another day for another sexy, young babe to fill her slick pussy with interesting and unusual objects for our viewing pleasure.
Full Alexa ALSscan Gallery Here
Nasty girl Alexa (aka Aleska Diamond) is looking so sexy in her tight mini dress and red hig heels. She is horny as hell and is ready to stuff her tight shaved pussy with anything she can get her hands on. She grabs a couple of bananas, eating the first one and saving the other for her pussy.
The big, long cucumber is irresistible for Alexa. She lubes it up with spit and fucks her wet, shaved snatch with it like a big, fat cock. It is unbelievable how deep she can take that big veggie. She masturbates with the cucumber until she cums.
It's back to the banana and Alexa works it in and out of her cunt from all angles. Boy, she is extremely flexible, and nasty as they cum. Alexa finishes up this crazy pussy insertion extravaganza with a fertility god statue with a hard-on. She sucks his penis, then inserts the cock deep inside her juicy pussy, riding the statue to multiple orgasms.
