| Project at ORU hung up
People please because of the rumors you are spreading. You never know who is looking at these blogs or who is really just trying to keep this mess going. --------------------------------------------993. 11/6/2007 1:13:44 PM, sojourner, Adair#963 Been ThereVictory was my home church.. I took my tithe to my home church for years. When the roof of our home went up in flames leaving us homeless. we of course looked to our church for help. My husband called and they ran a check on our "records". They said that since their records showed we had not given in the last 6 months, (which was true, we had lost our company and were living with my brother, who was helping us), they refused to help us, and gave us the phone number to Dept. of Human Services a.k.a. WELFARE, i kid you not!! So what is your answer to all of these millions of americans who attend these megachurches, that they should not consider it their home church?? They told us that was our church too...
Court Questions Patent Damages Against Microsoft For Guatemalan Patent ...
Microsoft has been fighting for years against a Guatemalan patent holder, Carlos Amado, who claims to hold a patent on the concept of linking a database to a spreadsheet. The patent itself has been thoroughly debunked. Even the patent itself admits that it's merely taken a bunch of concepts that were widely used before and combining them -- which is exactly the type of thing that the Supreme Court has said should not be patentable. Microsoft has appealed the ruling, but the Supreme Court turned it down. However, it then appealed the amount of damages, and the appeals court has now thrown out the lower court's damages based on the fact that it appeared to pick the damages number out of thin air. It seems likely that Microsoft will still have to pay damages for infringement (though, the court also admits that new Supreme Court rulings may impact the amount as well), but the lower court is going to at least have to justify how much Microsoft needs to pay Amado for basically putting such an obvious idea on paper and filing a patent.
Art, love, and one giant war
Paul Tarrant is living his dream. Thanks to a legacy from his slumlord grandmom, the 20-something from northern England is enrolled at the prestigious Slade School in London, learning to be a "real" artist. Too bad he isn't. Paul's teacher, the real-life artist and surgeon Henry Tonks, offers him a devastating assessment early on in Life Class, the new novel by award-winning writer Pat Barker: Paul has ability, but nothing to say. He's a technically accomplished void. To make matters worse, Paul meets Kit Neville, a slightly older artist who has made a name painting the gritty, urban scenes Paul was surrounded by growing up, and which he escaped by painting pretty landscapes. To complicate things further, both men are preoccupied with the same woman, Elinor Brooke, another Slade student.
Cindy Crawford touts her mom-approved furniture line
Supermodel Cindy Crawford boasts about one key attribute that helps Rooms to Go designers create her namesake furniture line for children.
"I'm a mom," Crawford said during a recent visit to a new Rooms to Go store in Royal Palm Beach. "I want a living room where kids are welcome. I prefer kids' bedrooms that are practical and stylish and can take a beating."
Introduced in fall 2005, the Cindy Crawford Home line boasts more than 100 pieces that she describes as fun and non-intimidating. Rooms to Go chief executive Jeff Seaman predicts they will generate $250 million in sales this year.

We love each other, we're like a family here, we all go out on the weekends. I'm obviously going through something personal in my life, and I don't know what is going to happen in my future."

Police: Several Leads In Auburn Student Slaying
Auburn Assistant Police Chief Thomas Dawson told a news conference Thursday that a task force including FBI agents has been formed. He says investigators are closer to solving the homicide than previously. He would not comment on who may have been questioned or if there was a surveillance camera in the parking lot that may assist investigators. A $10,000 reward has been offered for information about the murder of the Walton High School graduate. Burk was found shot and mortally wounded Tuesday night on a road a few miles north of the Alabama university. Police said about 9:00 p.m. they responded to reports of an injured female on Alabama Highway 147. When they arrived, they found Lauren Burk, 18, suffering from a single gunshot wound.
Antidepressants Hardly Help
What makes this one so important the results were front-page news across the U.K. on Tuesday is that the researchers were able to track down comprehensive unpublished trial results from the drug makers themselves before the drugs were authorized for sale in the U.S., and include them in their review of the literature. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must receive records of all relevant pharmaceutical-company trials, both published and unpublished, before it will approve a drug. Under the Freedom of Information Act, the researchers writing in PLoS Medicine were recently able to obtain those FDA records of industry-sponsored clinical trials. They yield data, they believe, that lets them avoid a bias that often plagues reviews of previous research: the tendency for conclusive positive results to be published, sometimes more than once, and thus over-represented, while mediocre results can be ignored or even swept under the rug.
