Keep the Chapman Family in your Prayers

I just found out tonight that Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter Maria was killed tonight after being hit by a car in her driveway. The Tennessean reported that she was taken by Life Flight to Vanderbilt Hospital where she was declared dead. The vehicle was being driven by one of Steven's sons.

Steven Curtis Chapman for those who don't know is a singer/songwriter of contemporary Christian music and has won over 50 Dove awards for all of his years of work. His music played a large part in my becoming a Christian and the same holds for many other Christians worldwide.

Keep his family, especially the son driving, in your prayers. Maria is in heaven, but the healing for those left behind will be difficult for lack of better words.

My First Blog

Since beginning my first day of medical school, I kind of wanted to start blogging. There were days I felt so overwhelmed that venting seemed necessary. On other days, truly profound thoughts occurred to me. Some others I had funny stories, good quotes, or rhetorical questions.

I have decided to bite the proverbial bullet and start blogging when I feel like it. I plan on writing about Math, Medicine, Machinery (Mostly Computing Machinery but I wanted to stick with the M's), and personal musings (or miscellaneous, but what's done is done)

So for today, ask yourself this....

What is the minimum number of tiles on a Su Doku board that must be filled before the board has a single solution?

I don't personally know the answer, but I will be thinking about it.
