I don't think I can express the level of admiration I feel for my dear friend Danny Roberts. I first started following his work around 2008 when I became obsessed with his illustrations and he quickly became my favorite artist. Few years later we finally met and hit it off immediately. Now I am happy to say I can call him a dear friend, one of the nicest and kindest people I have met and he has probably made me the happiest girl on earth by honoring me with making an illustration of me. Such a dream come true Danny, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

At 85, he went into the Guinness Book of Records as the then oldest British doctoral graduate. The award of a DLitt earlier this year made him, at 97, the OU's oldest graduate.
Professor Derek Pugh writes: As the PhD supervisor at the Open University business school of Edward Brech (obituary, October 10), I was a "young lad" in my early 60s when he applied, aged 80-plus, to do the degree; I was so impressed with his energy and grasp of information that I encouraged him to enrol.

Police say 24 children rescued from human trafficking scheme
An example of sales crew labor trafficking. This trafficking ring operated under the banner of a legitimate 501(c)(3) that has been around since the late 90s. The most impressive and sad part was how the van was outfitted (watch the video in the article). There were plywood seats and partitions so the children cannot get out in case of an accident or otherwise. When the children are found, they had not eaten for days.

Renal specific transgenic database
This database is intended to assist all investigators interested in renal-specific transgene expression, focusing specifically of transgenic lines expressing Cre, reporter mice and �Tetmice� (expressing tetracycline-regulated transactivators). It will be updated as soon as new information becomes available, thereby providing the most timely information on gene targeting in the kidney. The database is also intended to contain valuable information that is not easily found otherwise, including all sites of transgene expression as well as the amount of transgene expression (degree of variegation) within the targeted cell type(s). This information, combined with existing databases on floxed alleles, including the Nagy Lab website and the Jackson Labs website, will allow renal investigators to easily understand what transgenic tools are available and how they might be utilized.

Farms are inherently dangerous workplaces. Farmers and farm workers are more likely to be seriously injured or die at work than other Victorians. The farming industry employs about 3% of the Victorian workforce, however it accounts for approximately one-third of workplace deaths across the State.
Farms are amongst the most dangerous workplaces in Victoria. The work is heavy and awkward, and it can involve working alone as well as long hours. Accident records show there is a high risk of death, injury or illness to workers and others on the property such as visitors and children.
Farm risks include tractors and their attachments (particularly power-driven attachments) which cause most of the deaths and severe injuries, however unguarded conveyors, farm machinery and all-terrain vehicles have also caused severe injuries.
The vast majority of injuries are less serious such as muscle strains from forceful or repetitive lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling.
Other dangers faced by farmers and farm workers include falls, slips and trips, lacerations, contact with electricity, depression, fatigue, sun exposure, noise, working in confined spaces and illnesses associated with chemical use.
The Horticultural Safety Guide has been developed to help improve Occupational Health and Safety on your property. the guide shows how you can control the hazards on your property and improve safety in your workplace.

I don't know if the same thing's happenin' where you are, but in my church God seems to want to visit every single Sunday! And I'm lovin' it!
Yesterday was no exception. In fact, I'm getting rather used to His presence. Yes, I spend time with Him during my day-to-day life but there's something very special when a bunch of BELIEVErs get together (no, that's not a typo, I mean believers who REALLY BELIEVE) - He seems to take it very seriously and responds to hunger in a big way. I feel like I'm in the Garden of Eden sometimes, and that He's talking to me during the cool of the day. Not that it was a warm fuzzy message - oh no, it was definitely a check-up-from-the-neck-up one. But it's good. We all need to re-evaluage our priorities every once in a while, and I promise you if you'll take the time to listen to thise you will. So glad the man of God I serve shared this. I needed it.
One more thing. I saw this and again, it reminded me of things I had let slip. It's not that I don't know them, but they're foundational truths I've lost sight of. Short, but very good for the heart. In her own words, "Hell is not for me, any more." Wise words, from a wise woman.
I truly pray this day finds you blessed and surrounded by His presence, but most of all I pray you're more in love with the Lover of your soul than you ever have been in your life.
My words are inadequate to express the depth of my gratitude to the One who loved me enough to give His life for mine, and change the course of my destiny. It started before I was even born. Jeremiah 1.5 says simply this: �Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.� Well, I don�t know about the whole prophet thing but I do know that I know that I know that He knew me, and had a plan for me. Why, you ask. And rightly so.
I�m nothing if not honest, blunt at times, so I�ll just cut to the chase. I shouldn�t be here. That�s a trite saying to some, but to me it�s a fact. Yep. I was born dead. Beyond dead, actually. �White asphyxiated�, according to my mother. Blue asphyxiated is bad enough, but white� well, there�s very little hope of life for a baby born like that. When she talks all things medical she knows her stuff � as a midwife in the east end of London for many years she has tales to tell that are not for the faint of heart. She didn�t get around to mentioning I was born dead for about 40 years but when she did, it affected my life profoundly. That verse I came to relate to on a very intimate level.
Right now I seem to be living in a Romans 8.28 mode, telling myself that God is greater than my circumstances, and that ALL things work together for my good regardless of how I feel on a daily basis, because I�m called to walk by faith and not by feelings. How can I say thanks to the Creator of the universe, who saw fit to give me life, despite the odds? I can�t help but be thankful. If nothing else, I�m thankful for life.
I�m thankful for my two daughters. We�ve been through a lot together, and a mother�s love runs deep. They keep me on my knees. They say things, do things, choose things, that cause me pain. Hang around folk I wouldn�t choose for them. Use language they have no business using. I wanna slap them upside the head sometimes. One has decided �that whole religion thing works for you, mum, but not for me�� and that another lifestyle does. The other has decided to date a man outside of her faith. If it�s still even her faith. Still, they�re mine and I love them.
I�m thankful that the youngest is still alive and kicking. Usually me. Two days ago she was in a major serious car accident, and she lived to tell the tale. I�m thankful there�s still hope for her to return to the God of her salvation, the One she used to know quite well. If He can save this stubborn gal, He can save anyone!!!
I�m thankful for the heroes who die daily for my right to live my life as I see fit and God directs. I�m thankful for the gift of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness because of men who will give their all to defend those freedoms. John 15.13 says that there is no greater love than the one that lays down its life for a friend. And these guys don�t even know me. I honour them and thank them for their sacrifice.
I�m thankful for true friends. The circle�s been getting smaller lately, but the ones that remain have been proved faithful. God told me once that a friend in need is a friend in DEED. They�re gentle. Patient. Time after time after time. How I treasure them.
I�m thankful for the gift to write. I lost that dream so many years ago and am in a season where God is restoring all the years the locusts have stolen. I am finally brave enough to pour out my heart on paper and be transparent, hoping to touch souls and leave fruit that remains.
I�m thankful for God�s grace. (It�s my middle name, and I choose to embrace the grace rather than resist it, like I did for so very many years.) His mercy. His unending love. His goodness. I�m thankful for every new day. The chance to encourage, strengthen, help someone in this sin-filled world. I choose to rejoice despite my feelings, and be glad because regardless of my feelings, circumstances, or even finances, He�s still worthy. I choose to praise His name, even when it looks like He�s not working and I can�t see my way out. I�m thankful IN all things but not always thankful FOR all things. Yet one thing I know. Thou remainest. God is good, and His mercy endures forever. How can I say thanks? How indeed.
I learned a fact on Friday morning. I learned this: if the cosmos had mass of 10 to the 27th power more, it would have imploded. If it had 10 to the 27th power less matter, it would have exploded out beyond itself. So say leading astrophysists. We also needed a moon to stabilize earth�s axis. Now don�t tell me these things just happen. I say to all saints far and wide, come, let us gather together and tell God how good He is. My worship pastor says that�s God�s favourite song - God is good, and His mercy endures forever. She has a point. It�s all over the bible. There�s something the world calls The Pygmalion Effect. It refers to the phenomenon that says the greater the expectation placed upon people, the better they will perform. In 1966, Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson published the results of a powerful study later known as The Pygmalion Effect. Rosenthal and Jacobson's research, conducted at an elementary school, was simple. Tell a few teachers and tell that they were the best teachers in the school and therefore had the most academically gifted students in their class that year. Untrue. Both teachers and students were randomly chosen. However, the study showed an amazing result - that teachers' expectations could influence students' intellectual abilities, to the point where they excel beyond their peers. To a tune of 32%, if memory serves. It�s all up to us. As a man thinketh in his heart, so IS he, Proverbs 23.7 says. I�ve been in a hard time in my life for quite a while but I CHOOSE to believe God is good, and that His mercy endures forever. That He�s working in my life when I don�t feel it and don�t see it. That He knows everything about me, and still loves me. Army Captain Chris Plekenpol said something I pray I never forget � �You can never let your current circumstances determine the presence of God.� This, from a man who lost a soldier within 4 minutes of arrival. Yes, 4 minutes. Do I trust Him? Yes I do. Do I understand? No, I don�t. But I trust in His faithfulness.
As a funny little take-away, Joseph Prince said something the other day that really made me think. Here�s a paraphrased version: When your relatives say, Wow! You look so young! Is it detox, or Botox? You can say, it�s NO tox! It�s all Jesus, man!

Omygosh I am so stoked right now! If you�re reading this and even slightly interested in why, I�ll let you in on a little secret.
It started off with a healthy dose of I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me, Philippians 4.13 [namely, be brave]. Then it worked its way up to I am persuaded He is well able to keep that which I have committed to Him, II Timothy 1.12 [principally, my life], with some The Lord will perfect that which concerns me, Psalms 138.8, finally settling on You have delivered my soul from death and will keep my feet from falling, Psalm 56.13. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights, (New Living Translation) sure helped, though, with a little Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip, Psalm 18.36 thrown in for good measure. And here�s why.
God tells us to be a good steward of all He has given us. I fall short many times, especially in the area of heights. I�m not exactly fond of them. Not terrified, by any means, but I do have a healthy respect for anything over 6 feet tall. Consequently, I avoid this issue in life whenever possible. The roof was proof of this. Until today. However, I will only procrastinate for just so long � eventually I�ll feel I�ve prayed enough that I�m ready to take on certain things regardless of the inherent torture entailed, because it�s reached the point where putting it off is worse than addressing it. It took me several days but this morning that thing was �the roof�. What roof? Mine. It�s only a single story rather humble dwelling place but still, the view from above can be intimidating at times. I�ve done it before, and it�s always under duress. But every time I do it my faith grows.
I seem to be in a season where my life is not exactly what you�d call a thriving success. My car�s needed a new transmission for 6 weeks and there�s not a thing I can do about it. I�ve been unemployed for over 2 years and again, there�s not a thing I can do to change that either. I think I might have gone insane if not for His sweet presence in my life every day totally changing me and growing me. Plus my frequent adventures in blogging help me download what's on my heart. Today I think I might have gone insane if not for God totally changing my life and my frequent adventures in blogging.
Today I feel like David. Now there�s one more lion and one more bear God helped me overcome, one more time. And I praise Him, and thank Him for His faithfulness to a little redhead sometimes feels lost and lonely and very, very small but then remembers that she�s the apple of her Daddy�s eye, and that He sees all of her tears, her flaws, her insecurities, and still adores her.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. ~ Romans 8.1
Doesn't that give you hope? I see many people get all caught up in the 'no condemnation' thing, and that's good, but that's not what floats my boat. For me, it's the NOW. Right here, today, in the midst of my mess. We're as guilt free as we're ever gonna get. Why won't we walk in it? Do we really take His Word at face value, and just step out on faith? Sigmund Freud believed guilt was the result of what he called "social restraint", going against the social norm. My pastor says that Christianity is a counter-culture, not a sub-culture. Looking at the behaviour of Jesus I'd have to agree. Talk about a social misfit! He stirred up trouble wherever He went!
Christian writers Bruce Narramore and Bill Counts have a very different take on this than Freud. They belive there's a true guilt - which is an object fact - but also a false guilt - a subjective psychological feeling of pain and rejection. Guilt is destructive; we see this in the tragic stories making headline news. Robert S. McGee, in his book The Search for Significance, maintains that, "it causes a loss of self-respect... causes the human spirit to wither... eats away at our personal significance..." Sound familiar? It's a strong motivator, yes, but I've never seen any good come of it long-term. Guilt never encourages, inspires, builds up, which is what God's kids are supposed to do. Where's the disconnect? As McGee quite rightly points out, conviction deals with behaviour - not status before a holy, just God. His motivation is love, protection, and correction, not humiliation. Is ours? I call it fickle feelings. We react, rather than act. Romans 7.6 says that we now live in newness of Spirit and not by the letter of the Law. Where there's no law there's no sin, because there's no standard. But we're called to a higher standard, that of Christ Himself, Romans 8.2, which produces in us the need for grace. When we rely on the law we're assured of failure, because we'll never measure up. Performance will never produce self-worth. Don't know about you, but I need grace. Grace, grace, and more grace. How I love my name.
I won't be the one to cast the first stone. Will you?
Kari, the guilt-free

After yesterday's bad news out of Miami about Vernon Carey, we now have something positive to report out of South Florida. Linebacker Channing Crowder is going to be out there when free agency kicks off next Friday. From the AP:
Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder expects to be on the free-agent market next week, based on his most recent conversations with general manager Jeff Ireland and vice president of football operations Bill Parcells.
"They said, 'Well, we want to see what your market value is, and see where it goes from there,"' Crowder said Friday night at a charity softball game involving NFL players. "So hopefully it does get real, real high and they have to match something high, but we'll see when free agency comes around."
Crowder finished second on the team last season with a career-high 113 tackles. The former Florida Gators star has spent his entire four-year NFL career with the Dolphins.
"I want to play football next year, and I'm confident I can play in the NFL, so I'll play football next year and hopefully it's with the Dolphins. But if it's with somebody else, I know I can play football. They had the first crack at it and they dropped the ball, so we'll see what other teams do. It's their loss."
My gut tells me they let Crowder walk, and this statement from ESPN's Tim Graham all but proves they will:
Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis probably might have been a top-five draft pick had he followed through with his inclination to turn pro after his junior year.
He returned to the Buckeyes, and his projection slid to the bottom third of the first round.
That's good news for the Miami Dolphins, who likely will be in the market for an inside linebacker. They're not interested in re-signing unrestricted free agent Channing Crowder.
All I have to say is that this guy better be on the Chiefs' shopping list. Let's do this, Pioli Trinity. It seems like new ownership in the MIA has sent out a message to the Tuna and Co. — build through the draft. That means Crowder is ours if we want him. Given the way he's performed during his short career, why wouldn't we?

Black Australorp
This breed originated in Australia developed from Black Orpingtons imported from England and the emphasis of the breeding program was on egg production without sacrificing too much in size and meat quality. Some sensational results were made in the Australian program, and one hen set a laying record of 364 eggs in 365 days.
They were introduced into this country in the 1920's, they have become useful and popular and are certainly one of the best layers of light brown eggs of all the heavy breeds. A flock of Black Australorps with their glossy black plumage which has a greenish-purple sheen and their larger than average bright red combs make an unusually handsome sight. They are big birds, cockerels weighing 6 to 8 pounds at maturity and pullets 5 to 7. They have a pinkish white skin and plump bodies which dress out nicely once the birds have their final plumage. Pullets mature early and many will be in production between 5 and 6 months of age. They are quiet, gentle, and stand confinement well.
Price: $15.00 each

I'm Spencer, high schooler in the beautiful state of Colorado. I am cradle Catholic and am still strong in my faith. One little problem - I just so happened to be gay. I am not fully open to everyone, just my best friends know. I don't want the general public to know yet.

Bill Clark, the current head coach of Jacksonville State, has been named the new head coach of Alabama-Birmingham.
In one of the more surprising moves of this season's coaching carousel, Clark left the Gamecocks after just one season at the helm for a UAB program that has proven notorious to win at.
Clark's one-year stint at JSU finished 11-4 as he led the program to the FCS quarterfinals, where they fell foul of Eastern Washington. Prior to that he was the defensive coordinator at South Alabama, where the Jaguars have been known for their defense since their inception in 2009.
Clark is well familiar with the state of Alabama. Not only has he been a track record from his USA days, but he was also a successful high school coach, where he coached Prattville to consecutive 6A championships. His high school record is an outstanding 107-11.
Clark has his work cut out for him in Birmingham. The Blazers have won just 80 games in 18 years, with just 3 winning seasons in that time. Clark will be replacing Garrick McGee (5-19), who is joining Bobby Petrino in Louisville.

Posts tagged nokia 808 pureview
2 notes &
The technology used for oversampling, and the inspiration taken from satellite imaging techniques is the main innovation. It needed a 41MP sensor to be able to create high quality 5/8MP photos. Strategically, this makes perfect sense, where everyone else in the smartphone battle has been focused on screen size, CPUs and other iterative minor improvements, this implementation has made people stand up and take notice.
We must remember that this is a Technology innovation, therefore it can be carried forward to any of Nokia's future portfolio, as such, if they have ringfenced the IP around the tech, it bodes well as a competitive differentiator.
Focus on Camera
In terms of people not buying this because of the current OS that the tech sits on, this only affects one part of the mobile phone purchasing market. This is about targeting a certain niche. In terms of buyer preferences, different segments have different critical choices. If the rest of the package is good enough (Speed, Social, connectivity), those who hold a higher purchasing priority for camera will go for the camera capabilities. Likewise, those who prioritize apps will go for iOS or Android (or Windows Phone). In this respect the rest of the phone just needs to be good enough to capture the target camera market, which Symbian Belle seems to be (not outstanding but good enough).
This has been a mixed bag. Many initial reports focused on the 41MP headline. and failed to read further into where the real innovation was. For example, this is the first time i recall digital camera fanzines reporting about a smartphone camera. However, many tech 'blogs' have dismissed it due to the headline marketing number.
But! The headline marketing is essentially "linkbait". To market pureview as producing super-high quality 5/8MP photos wouldn't have the same marketing impact. Therefore, to get more eyeballs, and to attract the correct niche market, the headline MP count was the most effective. The con is that people report about the MP rather than the technology. The major pro is that it grabs headlines.
The technology has been in development for 5 years, waiting to release it on Windows Phone would mean delays. The technology is almost ready, and the window to announce was good. Amongst all the quad-core CPUs and high resolution screens, this announcement clearly grabbed mindshare for Nokia. Therefore it was important to announce the capability that Nokia still has, and the value they add as a manufacturer (irrelevant of platform) to smartphones. By announcing now, any future product's camera by any manufacturer will be compared to the pureview. It has become the 'de-facto' comparison. Effectively giving Nokia some long-tail marketing.
Setting up the pipeline
Hidden amongst all the messages is that Pureview technology is that it will be released on future devices in different configurations. Effectively opening up an 'upgrade' path for people who want the camera tech. Want it now, buy the Symbian device, App ecosystem too important that you want to skip it for now, wait for it on another platform. Announcing it now builds up anticipation for future releases of pureview, essentially giving people a different reason to buy a Nokia Windows Phone. It also give Microsoft impetus to ensure their platform is capable of handling the hardware requirements for this tech.
Target Sales
Releasing on Symbian means that sales expectation can be lowered. If this was released on Windows Phone, expectation of sales would be higher. This gives Nokia a leeway for sale figures, allows the to gauge initial demand with lower risk than delaying, potentially 1 year, and then announcing it to an unknown market situation for Windows Phone. I would expect Nokia would use sales of the N8 as a benchmark for sales of this device.
The fact that it was released on a symbian phone is irrelevant. The technology is not binded to Symbian only, it is Nokia IP and means whatever platform they develop on, potentially has this technology differentiator. It has now become the de-facto comparison that smartphone cameras have to aspire to and ensures Nokia remain relevant, so strategically, it was absolutely the right thing to do. The cons are minor (negative press about it being released on Symbian, the 41MP headline vs the technology implementation) when compared to the longtail benefits.

Nokia recently announced the 808 Pureview in Barcelona at the Mobile World Conference and have drawn excitement to their pureview camera technology. They've re-imagined how zoom works by working backwards from a large Megapixel picture and focusing in on an area of the sensor. Zooming in expands the area of the sensor which you are looking it, which means a bulky optical zoom mechanism is not required. This works also for video recording. How have cameraphone evolved to reach this point?
The very first commercial cameraphone
In 2000 Sharp produced the J-SH04 for J-Phone (now softbank) in Japan. It cost $500 and produced 110,000 pixel images (0.1MP). It was followed by J-SH05 which used a 65,536-color semi-transmissive TFT LCD on a flip phone. By 2002, Sharp had sold 5 million camera phones covering 40% of J-Phones users.
Out of Japan and turning international
In 2002, Vodafone picked up the Sharp cameraphone and remodelled it into the GX10 for European release. One of the few times that a Japanese phone manufacturer successfully sold their mobile phone offerings to a non-Japanese carrier.
Sprint brought the Sanyo 5300 to the US market in November 2002.
By 2003, KDDI released the first CCD 1 megapixel cameraphone, the Casio A5401CA.
In 2004, Sony Ericsson released the S700 with a 1.3MP CCD Camera, Nokia, Motorola and Samsung quickly followed suit,
but in 2005, Samsung went a little crazy releasing the SCH-V770…. a 7MP camera phone with 3x optical zoom and autofocus. Take a look at the picture to see how 'ridiculed' it was.
Nokia vs Sony Ericsson enter the battle
By 2004, Nokia had become the worlds most sold "digital camera" brand, but did not have the "best" camera phones. Sony Ericsson took that mantle when it released the S750 in 2005 which could be considered the first 'regular' camera phone that had autofocus… with a 2MP sensor added.
Nokia's attempt to take the lead came via the N90 which used Carl Zeiss lens with their 2MP auto-focus phone with a rotatable barrel.
But Sony Ericsson's response was the K800, the first with a xenon flash. Released in July 2006
Nokia March On
First the N73 with 3.2MP, followed by the N93 with 3x Optical Zoom and the first camcorder phone with Carl Zeiss lens both in the Autumn of 2006. (photo is of the N93i)
Than in 2007, the N95 with 5MP and the N82 with 5MP and Xenon Flash were released. By now the megapixel battle was in full swing, but we all know that Megapixels are not the only equation in cameras. Sony Ericsson released the K850 with a poor 5MP camera.
Samsung Enter the frame
With the i850 and M8800 Pixon the 8MP phase of the camera phone battle opened up. Nokia upped the technical capabilities by introducing variable apertures with their 8MP N86 in 2009.
Samsung released the first 12MP camera phone with 28mm wide-angled lens and Xenon with the M8910 Pixon12.
The current best camera phone was released in 2010. This is the Nokia N8, with a very large 1/1.83" sensor.
Nothing was released in 2011 that could beat the camera quality of the N8, but 2012 sees a quantum leap with the release of e Nokia Pureview.

Na Holds on for Maiden PGA Tour Win
Kevin Na began the final round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas tied for the lead with Nick Watney.
But the South Korean-born 28-year-old, who moved to the U.S. with his family at the age of eight and started playing golf soon afterwards, closed with a 6-under 65 to beat Watney by two strokes and nab his first-ever win on the PGA Tour.
Na pulled away with three birdies on the 15th, 16th and 17th holes. Na also got off to a great start Sunday with five birdies and a bogey for a 4-under 31 on the front nine to forge a two-stroke lead.
His birdie run offset a bogey on the par-3 14th, giving him a total of 23-under 261. Watney, a two-time winner this year, closed with a 67 and took solo second at 263. Na's win was worth $774,000.
The victory came after Na had made 210 career appearances over eight years on the PGA Tour. "I went though a lot," said Na, who lives in Las Vegas. "I used to have nightmares about finishing second. People believed in me more than I believed in myself."
Tommy Gainey and Paul Goydos had 66s to tie for third at 18-under, while David Hearn (65), Carl Pettersson (68), Jhonattan Vegas (68), Tim Herron (69) and Spencer Levin (68) tied for fifth at 17-under.
Before his win on Sunday in the Nevada desert, Na was perhaps best known for making the highest score ever on a par-4 during a PGA Tour event. That happened this April in the Valero Texas Open when he racked up a 16 on the ninth hole at TPC San Antonio. Na endeared himself to golf fans and fellow players by treating the mistake-filled episode with class and self-deprecating humor.
