"Dave's not here so we can do whatever we want," declared Marcus Mumford as his band, Mumford & Sons, ripped into its Live on Letterman taping on the famed Late Night set Friday (September 21) evening. "Whatever they want" isn't as mischievous as one would think, as the folk-rockers stuck to playing through songs off their sophomore album, Babel, released this week.
Despite noting that they're still "awkward as hell over this stuff," Mumford and co. enthralled the small crowd of fans at New York's Ed Sullivan Theater. Deeming themselves the "poorer version of the Beatles," Mumford & Sons acknowledged the history of the venue and their fellow Brits who made their debut there way back in 1964. And the banter didn't end there. After being egged on by banjo player Winston Marshall, Mumford made fun of his signature look of a vest, white shirt, big belt buckle, boots and tight pants ("I come from a long line of gentleman that decided what they were gonna wear the rest of their lives when they were 13").
(Photo courtesy CBS IMG)
Joined by brass players, the band kicked off the taping with current single "I Will Wait," followed by "Roll Away Your Stone," a Sigh No More track Mumford called a "dancing song." For the new song "Lovers' Eyes," which the band revisited later in the taping, Mumford snapped a guitar string and, by the time the song ended, was screaming at the top of his lungs.
Another new song, "Whispers in the Dark," saw the band battling technical difficulties but ultimately ended with all four members harmonizing stunningly. The group mixed the handful of new songs – also including "Below My Feet" and "Ghosts That We Knew" – with its rollicking breakout hit "The Cave," which got the crowd on its feet and clapping in a triumphant highlight of the set.

"Lover of the Light," also off Babel, saw Mumford take to the drum set for jazzy percussion. He returned to his usual post for "Little Lion Man," another Sigh No More favorite and total crowd-pleaser, and ended things with Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer." The banjo-fied cover wouldn't make the cut for Live on Letterman, but Mumford seemed set on it: "We're gonna play it because we're in New York."

"There's no question that the White House wants this kind of chaos and unrest in the culture," Limbaugh said this afternoon.
- His comments came moments before the Washington Post reported Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey planned to announce she is charging neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in the shooting of Martin.
Limbaugh said the situation is "a powder keg waiting to go off," and that "nobody that I see is doing anything to try to make sure that powder keg doesn't explode."
He added: "If in the White House they wanted to cool this down, which they should do, they could do it. All it would take … would be Obama addressing the nation to calm this down, and then speaking about it in genuine American terms, not racial terms. If they wanted tot do that, they could. Other presidents have. It's not happening here."
Limbaugh says the White House has determined "it is helpful for Obama's re-election because they believe that they can tie all of this to the existence of Republicans and conservatives, that the racial problems exist because of never-ending racism of the right, never-ending racism of Republicans. And that's why George Zimmerman in the New York Times is called a white Hispanic. There are people un the race industry who became excited that this event took place because it allowed them to carry forward with their template, that we still are a nation, essentially, with slaves. You couple that with what I think is a chip on Obama's shoulder about the founding of the country, the engrained discrimination, his anger over it, his opportunity now here to finally make it right."
Martin, 17 and unarmed, was shot and killed Feb. 26 by Zimmerman, who said he was acting in self-defense after getting his bashed by Martin. Police in Sanford, Fla., where the shooting took place, initially did not charge Zimmerman, based on the state's "stand your ground" law.

Advising Information
Areas of Licensure
Students at Grinnell can earn a license in secondary education with endorsements in at least one of the following:
- English
- foreign languages (French, German, Spanish, Latin, Chinese, Russian)
- mathematics
- the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, general science, physics)
- social studies (American government, American history, anthropology, economics, psychology, sociology, world history).
Important: A Grinnell major is not the same as an endorsement!
Licensure in a second area is not possible without licensure in a major area, but a dual endorsement is highly recommended. Students can earn a second endorsement in any of the subjects offered for a first endorsement. Thus, a student can earn licensure in English and math, for example. The education courses required for licensure are EDU 101 (4 credits), 1 of the EDU 210-216 series (4 credits), EDU 221 (4 credits): EDU 250 (4 credits), EDU 340 (4 credit)and 34X (2 credits) for a total of 22-24 hours.
General Education Requirements for Secondary Licensure
Although Grinnell students are not required to complete a core curriculum, students seeking licensure through the State must complete an interdisciplinary core of courses including one course in each of the following: American history, mathematics, biological science, physical science, and humanities.
Licensure Requirements
In many cases, completing a major in a discipline will not insure that a student can acquire a license in that discipline. Please consult endorsement requirements when advising a student. It explains the courses a student needs to take in a discipline to earn a license.
Non-Certification Seeking Students
Students who are not interested in seeking teaching certification but who are interested in educational policy and theory may take any or all of the theory and policy courses at the 200 level if they have taken EDU 101. Students interested in teaching in some other venue may enroll in the upper level theory and methods courses if they have taken EDU 101 and EDU 221 (Educational Psychology) or EDU 250 (Differentiating Instruction for all Learners). Students who are interested in home schooling, teaching at the college level, pursuing ESL or Bilingual teaching, or who may want to teach in environmental science programs associated with public schools may be interested in taking these courses.
Planning Ahead
Because students who wish to obtain a license to teach from Grinnell are also pursuing a major area of study, they must plan carefully to insure they take all the necessary courses. With planning, however, students, regardless of major, can complete the courses required for a major and for licensure and still enroll in a wide variety of courses and participate in study abroad programs.
Ideally, students should plan to begin their education sequence by no later than the first semester of the second year. Waiting until the junior year makes it difficult to complete all the required coursework. However, the department will make every effort possible to help late deciders obtain licensure.
Requirements and Resources
As a faculty adviser of a student interested in the education program, here are several forms and resources that you may find helpful as you and your advisee work together.
- Teacher Education Program Requirements
- Student Teaching Requirements
Teacher Education Program Recommendation Forms
One recommendation is required for this application — from either the student's EDU 101 professor or their tutorial adviser if they've yet to take EDU 101.
- EDU 101 Instructor or Tutorial Adviser
Student Teaching Recommendation Forms
Three recommendations are required for this application, from:
- A faculty member in the student's major department
- Another faculty member that knows the student well
- A non-faculty person who knows the student well.

Attic spaces are tough to work in. Since they are outside the "living space" of your home, finding the right attic flooring solution requires special consideration. However, flooring your attic can make it a perfect place for storage. Doing so the wrong way means that you could weaken your structure, squash your insulation or worse, find yourself with one foot planted firmly through the sheetrock ceiling below!
Fortunately, there are attic flooring solutions that work well in the often harsh and unheated environments. Here's where to begin:
When medical students complete the many years of study it takes to become a doctor, they ceremoniously take the "Hippocratic Oath" at graduation. This oath includes well known words that homeowners who are considering flooring their attics are wise to remember: first do no harm!
For the most part, attics were not designed as storage spaces. They are a part of the raw underbelly of structure that holds a house together and protects it from the elements. Because of this, installing a floor to an attic always involves some level of disturbance.
Attic flooring above trusses
If the roof structure of your home was designed with prefabricated trusses, your attic was definitely not designed for any storage. There are several reasons for this. First, adding weight to the top of the bottom 2×4 that makes up the truss is a big no-no. Roof trusses are specifically designed to take the weight of the roof (and the snow, wind, rain, etc.) and distribute it downward and outward to the load-bearing exterior walls through a series of interconnecting wood framing pieces known as "chords". Adding storage to any other part of this finely tuned structural marvel risks weakening the roof system.
That said, if you keep the storage weight to a minimum, you may very well be able to build a storage platform above the insulation, by attaching supporting beams ot the sides of the trusses, or even using a prefabricated attic floor kit.
Building an attic floor over standard floor joists
If your home was built with standard conventional lumber, your risk of causing structural imbalance isn't nearly as high; however, you still need to be sensible when installing an attic floor. Remember that the ceiling joists were designed to hold up a ceiling and not to support a floor loaded with your Encyclopedia Britannica collection!
Lastly, your home's energy efficiency almost always suffers when the attic is converted for storage. Since an average attic needs 10 inches or so of insulation, the insulation is always thicker than the ceiling joists or trusses. As such, adding a floor can cause the insulation to compress, thus squeezing out the insulating ability of the fiberglass.
With all these challenges, you might start thinking that attic flooring installation is impossible. It isn't, but you'll need a dose of common sense to execute the job of installing an attic floor properly. Here are a few tips to help you and your house get through the job unscathed.
- Platforms Don't Have to be Plywood – Maneuvering a heavy, 4 x 8 sheet of plywood up to the an attic is sometimes like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. To make the job easier on you, cut the plywood first into (2) 2×8 strips which will be much easier to handle. Another option is to skip the plywood altogether and use dimensional lumber. 1 x 6 #3 spruce is a step up from pallet quality wood but makes a fine usable floor in an unfinished attic space.
- Don't Waste Energy – If you don't need a lot of storage, think of just flooring part of the attic, such as a small section around the attic opening. This way you can preserve the maximum amount of energy efficiency in the rest of the home. Since homes tend to be colder the closer you get to the exterior walls, keeping this floored area to the inside center of the attic is smart.
- High Tech Deck – Another innovative option that is specifically designed for attic flooring is a product called "Attic Dek.". Attic Dek® is a specially designed attic floor system that consists of 16″ or 24″ squares that attach directly to the top of floors joists. The sections are lightweight, easy to handle and resemble floor grates that provide plenty of ventilation for insulation below. They attach with just a few screws and allow you to build a safe, secure storage platform in your attic in just minutes.
Also, if the attic insulation is thicker than your ceiling joists, you can raise the height of the joists to above the insulation by attaching 2×3's to their top edge before you attach the floor boards.

A disbarred Florida lawyer, on the run for 26 years after failing to show up for his prison term for drug money laundering, was behind bars in Miami on Thursday after being caught in Mexico, federal authorities said.
Leading police on a foot chase following a traffic stop, Manuel Lopez-Castro, now 61, was taken into custody on Tuesday in Cancun, Mexico, where he had been hiding out for years with family, said Senior Inspector Barry Golden of the U.S. Marshals Service.
Gone was the mustache and long hair that he sported in 1986 when he skipped out on a promise, secured with a $250,000 bond, to begin serving a 27-year sentence for marijuana smuggling, money laundering, and obstruction of justice, Golden said.
Triggering an international fugitive search, Lopez-Castro was believed to have fled to Spain, then possibly to Costa Rica, Argentina, Venezuela, and Panama before settling in Mexico.
Now clean cut, with short hair and some wrinkles, Lopez-Castro was tracked to a condominium in Cancun recently by U.S. Marshals and the Mexican National Police. On Tuesday, authorities staged the traffic stop in Cancun to get a closer look and arrest the man they believed to be Lopez-Castro, Golden said.
He bolted from the car, which he was driving with family members, but was quickly caught. He argued that he was a Mexican citizen, but investigators learned that he obtained a fraudulent Mexican birth certificate approximately ten years earlier and was, in fact, Lopez-Castro, Golden said.
"This was just straight up good police work," Golden said.
Lopez-Castro's attorney, William Tunkey of Miami, declined to comment on the case.
An international cold case, the incident was reopened by U.S. Marshals whose the foreign field office in Mexico unearthed new information in 2012 on Lopez-Castro's whereabouts.
The Cuban-born attorney, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1977 and worked for the Sunshine State Bank in Miami, was convicted of helping a marijuana syndicate launder large sums of currency through Florida banks, according to a press release issued by the U.S. Marshals.
In addition to the $250,000 bond he forfeited in 1986 by fleeing, his Miami home was seized by federal authorities and he was disbarred in 1987 by the Florida Supreme Court, the release said.
Now, along with the 27-year sentence in the drug case, Lopez-Castro faces a bond jumping charge, Golden said.
Lopez-Castro made his initial court appearance on that charge in U.S. District Court in Miami on Thursday and was sent without bail to the Federal Detention Center in Miami, according to a court spokeswoman. He is due back in court on February 25.

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will be asked to defend, discard or modify his promised generous paid parental leave scheme in the Coalition party room next week, amid growing internal concerns that it is not affordable.
Calls by Sydney Liberal Alex Hawke for the policy to be scrapped before the September election have been backed by requests from two prominent West Australian Liberals for the Coalition's leadership to justify the policy.
Veteran backbencher Dr Mal Washer has asked Mr Abbott, shadow treasurer Joe Hockey and finance spokesman Andrew Robb to ''explain if this is still a good idea'' given the ''dire straits the Labor Party has got us into with its fiscal mismanagement''.
Fellow WA MP Dennis Jensen said he was worried about the cost of the scheme, as the levy on big business to fund it could cost jobs and affect prices. ''There are a whole lot of potential unintended consequences which would eventuate from this which I don't think have been adequately looked at and addressed,'' he said.
Mr Hockey had earlier mounted a passionate defence of the parental leave scheme, branding Mr Hawke a lone voice in wanting it dumped and declaring that the Coalition was ''absolutely committed'' to the policy, which would boost female participation in the workforce, increase productivity and deliver a ''massive benefit'' to small business.
The scheme offers new mothers 26 weeks' parental leave on full pay, up to a maximum wage of $150,000 a year, to be funded by a 1.5 per cent levy on about 3200 of the biggest companies.
This levy was to have been fully offset by a 1.5 per cent cut in company tax for all, which has since been replaced by the promise of a ''modest'' company tax cut. It compares with Labor's taxpayer-funded scheme offering 18 weeks' parental leave at the minimum wage.
In an address to the free market think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs, Mr Hockey conceded there were aspects of the scheme ''that some people might not like'', but insisted it would deliver ''real, on-the-ground action for small business''.
While Mr Hawke, the member for Mitchell in north-west Sydney, maintains there is ''widespread'' concern in Coalition ranks that the policy is unaffordable in the current fiscal climate, there is virtually no prospect of Mr Abbott facing a revolt on the issue.
Several MPs agree with the views of those who have now gone public, but the overwhelming view is that nothing will be done or said to undermine Mr Abbott's election prospects.
While Mr Hockey defended the scheme on Monday, he volunteered that ''if we can't get control of the budget now, then we never will'' - and warned of cuts to middle-class welfare under a Coalition government.
Repeating his view that all developed countries are now facing ''the end of the era of universal entitlement'', he said: ''Addressing the ongoing fiscal crises will involve the winding back of universal access to payments and entitlements from the state. This will require the redefining of the concept of mutual obligation and the reinvigoration of a culture of self-reliance.''
The view is that nothing will be done to undermine Mr Abbott.
Mr Hockey cited his family's experience in small business to support the case for the parental leave scheme, saying his father had a high turnover in receptionists because, unlike big business and the public service, he could not afford to pay parental leave and ''couldn't compete on a level playing field''.
''Tony Abbott, and our policy, is the only one that gives small business exactly the same platform as big business - and, importantly, small business doesn't have to pay it,'' he said. ''That's why it's important. It's a leveller, an opportunity.''

DETROIT – "A women's golf association and a teaching golf pro --- what better association to assist members in improving their game," stated MWGA President Barbara Porter when announcing the new affiliation between the MWGA and Bob Krause.
Krause spent nine years playing on numerous professional tours around the United States as well as participating in the PGA Tour Qualifying School. Because of his experience, he saw the need for world-class golf instruction in the metro Detroit area so returned home to do just that.
He affords the opportunity to experience the difference between taking a lesson and receiving customized golf instruction. Krause accomplishes this by offering instruction at Fieldstone Golf Course in Auburn Hills, Lyon Oaks Golf Course in South Lyon and at the all-weather Pure Impact Golf Studio in Commerce Township, where Bob provides year-around instruction.
"My goal is to promote a professional but fun atmosphere to teach and learn the game of golf. The best lesson you can receive is one that you can play with," says Krause, so his motto at Bob Krause Golf is 'Lessons you can play with!'
Membership in the MWGA is available to amateur female golfers of all ages and skill levels --- from students in high school and college to experienced, super senior golfers and women in between. In addition, MWGA members may sponsor a male for membership, allowing an avenue by which to obtain a USGA Index. An association membership is also offered to organizations and businesses wishing to support and receive information from the MWGA, which was established in 1986 and presently has over 200 members.
The MWGA provides a variety of golf competitions, rules and skills seminars as well as a match play league. Since 2005, with the support of the LPGA and USGA, the MWGA, a 501(c)(3) organization, has provided a Girls Golf Program through which Metro Detroit girls receive professional golf instruction, use of golf clubs, on-course playing time and healthy snacks, all at a nominal fee. Scholarships are available in the program.
For additional information about the Michigan Women's Golf Association, visit them at www.mwgolf.org or on Facebook.

Today is the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War started by Hitler's invasion of Poland and followed quickly by Stalin's invasion from the East. It is also a hundred years since the beginning of the First World War I which the civilized nations of Europe joined in a futile and barbaric self-mutilation. Many historians see these two wars as essentially the same war with a twenty year break to recover strength and hatred before continuing.

Each morning and evening where we live we hear the call of the black swans as they fly overhead. They rest at night a little way up the creek nearby. But for awhile they disappeared. Their going and coming back correlated with a period of time when work was being done on our little bridge. It seems that the noise and activity of that work had pushed them out of their usual place; their home.
From Sarah Litchfield, on Fogo in Cape Verde, Africa
(Sarah was a member of several meditation groups in the UK, and spent time in Sydney helping prepare for the 2001 John Main Seminar, where she is fondly remembered for her great contribution to preparing for the event. The following updates her connection with the world wide WCCM community since she felt inspired to go to live at Cape Verde during English winters, more specifically an island called Fogo (Fire) which basically is a volcano in the Atlantic Ocean.)
She says "It is really only the last two years I have been really actively engaged with the Meditatio aspect of the WCCM. When the opportunity came up to be involved in the Meditation for Schools initiative I was lucky enough to be in Roz Stockely's Wimborne group in Dorset and attend a day given at a local school by Janet Robbins which totally inspired me to learn as much as possible from them and bring it out to Cape Verde( and she has since begun meditation in several schools)

We all know that the daily practice of meditation, if undertaken with faith and love, increases our awareness of Jesus' indwelling presence and makes it possible for us to experience that peace that He promised to leave with us. Many entries on this website are dedicated to strengthening our personal meditation practice and deepening that inner peace that is a wonderful fruit of meditation.

"God is not accountable to us, but we are to Him. I know what may lie in wait for us....and yet I find life beautiful and meaningful."
Etty Hillesum who wrote these words in Amsterdam in 1942 was a young 28 year old Jewish woman and gifted writer who decided to write a diary during the German occupation of Holland. The diary portrays an inner transformation of an independent woman preoccupied with worldly pleasures and sensuality, into a person of great spiritual depth and wisdom. The diaries chronicle Etty's inner growth and have become an authentic classic of twentieth century spirituality.

Stichstock was an ancient wizarding game played on broomsticks.[1]
It originated in Germany, and a painting from 1105 shows the game. The game consisted of a single twenty-foot pole topped with an inflated dragon bladder. One player on a broomstick, known as the bladder-guardian, was tied by a rope to the pole, and given the task of defending the bladder. The rope was tied around their waist, and prevented the player from moving more than ten feet away from the pole. The other players would then take it in turns to try and puncture the bladder using the sharpened end of their broomsticks.[1]
The bladder-guardian was allowed to use their wand to defend the bladder. The game ended only when the bladder had been punctured, the bladder-guardian had hexed all other players, or when the bladder-guardian collapsed from exhaustion. The game eventually died out in the 14th century.[1]
"Stichstock" roughly translates to "sting stick" in German.
Stichstock is pronounced ˈʃtɪçʃtɔk; i. e. both st like sht, ck like k, i like in wizard, o like in top, and ch like the h in human in some English dialects.

If you need to draw up a marathon running training schedule, then you will want to start with the basics, which includes what you will be doing on certain days throughout the week. It's always good to throw in a variety of exercises and techniques, so you are physically well-rounded for the race. There are many things that beginners will want to know, including how to pace yourself. In a marathon, you will be faced with the challenge of finding the right rhythm and deciding when are the best times to walk and when to run, because a marathon doesn't necessarily mean running through the entire race.
Training for a marathon means knowing your physical boundaries and what you are capable of. At first you will want to take it easy and be sure to stay within your comfort zone, pushing out slowly but surely. If you are running in a 5k marathon, you might want to think about only doing half that distance for the first week or two. This will give your body an adjusting period, where it will become used to the strains you are placing upon it. As the weeks progress, you can start running farther and farther, until eventually you are running the full distance of the marathon you are competing in.
Some people who participate in these types of events think that speed is everything, however they are sorely mistaken. Although speed is certainly one important aspect of doing well in a marathon race, you also need to consider pacing. Pacing yourself is much more important than being concerned with running the fastest. While at first someone who start off running may feel like they are getting an edge on the competition, eventually they will tire and slow down significantly. Conserving your energy for the long haul is an important tip to follow for any type of race.
When devising your marathon running training schedule, you will of course need to make allowances for breaks. You should give yourself at least 2 days out of the week to let your body recover from everything you have been putting it through. This means taking an entire day out to rest and lay around the house, at least twice every week. When you give yourself this time of healing, your muscles will grow stronger the next time you work out and train. It is essentially the same principle that weight-lifters use to build muscle.
To come up with the best schedule for the marathon, you will need to think about what your goals are. If you simply want to get across the finish line and complete the race, then you probably won't need to run 15 miles each day. If you want to place among the top athletes however, then you will want to make sure that each day you train, your intensity level is up to 10. This means giving it your all and making sure you use effective techniques that vary throughout the week. Running the same distance using the same pace every single day you train can ultimately slow you down in the long run.
For a well-rounded training schedule, you will also want to think about throwing in different types of cardiovascular workouts, such as cycling. You can either get on a real bike or use one at the gym. Either way you will be getting the kind of workout that will pay off with your running. The more you pedal or run, the more your body gets used to the intense cardiovascular demands you put on it. Following this kind of training schedule is what will prepare you for the marathon and ensure that you do not slow down or hit a wall.

CryoSat: network countdown begins at ESOC
Network countdown has commenced in the main control room at ESOC, ESA's Spacecraft Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, exactly 06:30 hours prior to the launch of the CryoSat satellite, scheduled for 17:02 (CEST) today from Plesetsk in Russia.
This countdown checks that all the conditions are in place for ESOC to be declared ready for the CryoSat launch. Among the final tests to be carried out are: checking voice and data links with the ground stations, ensuring that telemetry, telecommand and tracking and radiometric functions are in place between ESOC, the ground stations and the spacecraft, and making sure that voice communications are established with the ESA Mission Manager at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.
The team in the Mission Control Room at ESOC has been carrying out increasingly complex spacecraft validation tests for the last 18 months. In all, the Flight Control Team has carried out 24 challenging simulations. "By now, we all know how to react in all possible situations and equally important, how the spacecraft will react," says Spacecraft Operations Manager, Nic Mardle.
Carrying out the last checks prior to launch in the Main Control Room are teams for spacecraft operations, ground segment operations, flight dynamics and software. Overall responsibility lies with CryoSat Flight Director, Alan Smith. At yesterday's pre-launch briefing he confirmed that all systems were 'green' for launch and that everything went well at Wednesday's rehearsal.
Benefits of training
The frequent simulations during which all possible scenarios are rehearsed and the constant training ensure that everyone knows what to do - and also help calm pre-launch nerves. "It is impossible to over estimate how valuable simulations are," says Duncan Warren, Deputy Ground Operations Manager. "We have had eight mission readiness tests a week for six weeks, two with each of the four ground stations, so we know we can trust ourselves and each other to take the right action at the right time."
"Team work is vital for a satellite launch and early orbit phase (LEOP) and each member of the team has a vital role to play," says Pier Paolo Emanuelli, CryoSat Ground Segment Manager and Deputy Flight Director for the CryoSat launch."
Nic Mardle agrees, "the months of working together have helped us forge ourselves into a strong team; in spacecraft operations there is no room for errors and no time for delays but I am confident that we will all work together to ensure a successful launch and mission for CryoSat".
ESOC leaves nothing to chance, there are duplicate teams for all operations, each of which will be working 12-hour shifts to ensure the control room is staffed at all times throughout the LEOP. There are prime and redundant systems for all software, the four ground stations are divided into pairs so that in the unlikely event one fails the other can take over, and ESOC even has its own back-up power supply to ensure that if a power failure did occur, no one would even notice.
Preparing for launch
Just a few hours remain until the launch of CryoSat, the first of ESA's Earth Explorer missions. Unlike the Ariane launches there is no launch window - the time in which the launch can take place. This launch by a Rockot launcher from Plesetsk in Russia has a leeway of just 10 seconds.
This northern Russian cosmodrome is ideal for launches into polar orbits such as that of CryoSat. Plesetsk has an excellent record as more than 2000 orbital launches have taken place at the cosmodrome since the early 1960s.
At Plesetsk and ESOC countdown is now well underway. The numerous checks that have to be carried out before the "Go for launch" command is given are scrolling down on the display board in the Mission Control Room. Green means the check has been successfully carried out, red that there is an anomaly. The final ESOC "Go/No go" command will be given at launch minus 10 minutes and the last time at which the launch can be aborted is launch minus 3 minutes.
For those not directly involved seeing the launcher liftoff into space is the most exciting moment of a LEOP. But for the teams involved in the CryoSat mission tension will remain high until around 90 minutes after launch when the display board shows that the first signals have been acquired by the ground stations and that CryoSat has successfully separated from the upper stage of the launcher.
To follow the launch countdown and the post-launch events watch the live webcam from the mission control room and follow our simplified launch status table in the attached link.

Connecticut to start work on child mental health plan
ROCKY HILL >> Connecticut's Department of Children and Families will begin developing a plan to meet the behavioral health needs of children across the state.
The plan is required under legislation passed last year by the General Assembly in response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 first graders and six educators dead. The shooter was 20 years old.
DCF expects to develop the blueprint with help from families, advocates and leading experts. Focusing on ways to prevent and reduce the long-term negative impact of mental, emotional and behavioral health issues on children, the plan is expected to be completed by October.
DCF Commissioner Joette Katz, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and mental health advocates are scheduled to announce the initiative during an event on Tuesday in Rocky Hill.

Milwaukee archbishop discusses hopes for new pope
Cardinals from around the world will begin the process to choose a new pope. That person will replace Benedict XVI, who stepped down last week.
Catholics around the world will be watching for the decision, including in Milwaukee.
When Archbishop Jerome Listecki celebrated mass at St. John's Sunday morning, it was the first Sunday mass since Benedict retired.
"It really was a moment in history," Listecki said.
The archbishop said the cardinals in Vatican City now have a great task ahead of them -- picking a leader who will impact the church's appeal worldwide.
"Like a pastor in a parish, you know when you have somebody who basically connects with people, that raises the level of interest," Listecki said. "If you have someone who doesn't seem to connect as well, that kind of lowers the interest."
Listecki said he would like to see the next pope be one who travels.
"That aspect's going to have to be maintained because it's really a sign of bringing the unity of the church through the pope," Listecki said.
WISN 12 News asked if there was a particular country Listecki would like to see the next pope come from.
"The church can handle somebody from the first world," he said. "The church can handle somebody from the third world. The church can handle somebody from the fourth world. So it really -- that aspect really doesn't matter."
Listecki said what mattered was the next pope's ability to articulate Catholic teachings.

'Young Women For Change' Nonprofit Uses Rare Fashion Show To Empower Afghan Women
Huffing Post-Afghan models paraded down a candle-lined catwalk Friday as men and women watched from the audience in a restaurant off a muddy street in Kabul.
The rare fashion show in this war-weary capital was a small production but a big idea – part of an Afghan group's efforts to empower women by breaking down barriers in this highly conservative Muslim society.
"The situation always gets tougher and tougher every day by day, but we should not back down. We are here to move on and move forward, so I think if women step up and they show up in this field, I think they will do a good job," said Shahar Banoo Zeerak, the designer whose clothes were featured in the show.
The idea of women on display remains mostly taboo in Afghanistan more than a decade after the 2001 U.S. assault that ousted the Taliban from power after a five-year reign of terror by the fundamentalist movement.
Some women still don't go outside without wearing blue burqas that cover them from head to toe. Violence against women is still common in Afghanistan, and there are reports of women being stoned, executed in public or imprisoned for having affairs with men. Women have even set themselves on fire to escape domestic violence.
Friday's fashion show was organized by Young Women for Change, an independent, nonprofit Afghan organization committed to empowering Afghan women and improving their lives.
Most of the 10 models, including three young men, who showed off 33 designs including colorful short-sleeved dresses, jeans, tunics and more traditional outfits – were Afghan women who volunteer for the group.
One of them, 17-year-old Farkhonda Taheri, had never even seen a fashion show before. She said her father and other family members were supportive of her decision to participate, but her grandmother was not happy.
"The biggest challenge for us that we cannot do these things in Afghanistan because people do not like it," she said afterward. "I was excited because I felt I am going to bring a change."
She said it was important for Afghan youths to take risks to bring change as the country struggles to achieve a semblance of normalcy, with international combat forces preparing to withdraw by the end of 2014.
"Who will bring the peace? We are going to bring it. Afghans. The new generation," Taheri said.
There have been a few other fashion shows in Afghanistan, but most were geared toward an international audience and seldom featured Afghan women or a mixed Afghan audience. Reflecting the obstacles, the organizers did not permit local Afghan media to film the event to protect the women, who on occasion appeared without headscarves and in short skirts.
"It may not be perfect and professional but it's a beginning," said Salma Gul, the 26-year-old tailor who made the clothes.
Organizers said they had two reasons for staging the show despite fears of violence in a country that sees frequent bombings and suicide attacks, often against targets deemed un-Islamic by extremists. One was to raise money for the advocacy group and the other was to gradually change attitudes toward women.
A spokesman for the advocacy group, Mohammad Zafar Salehi, said they earned more than $1,000 from the show, which sold tickets and drew mostly group members and friends.
"We want to change the mindset of the people but at the same time I worry about the security of the girls," he said as the famous Afghan rock band Morchaha performed in another room. "I believe in a change that can be slow."

Scale Degree Ear Training develops a musician's ability to know each note's place relative to other notes in the scale employed. The tendency tones of a scale are the primary anchors for feeling scale degree function. These tendency tones have 'pull', especially when accompanied by specific underlying harmony (usually dominant resolving to tonic harmony). In such a context, the strongest pulling tendency tones of the major scale are at the half steps, with the 4th scale degree tends to resolve down by half-step to the 3rd scale degree, and the 7th tends to resolve up by half step to the tonic.
Scale Degree Ear Training is the cornerstone exercise of SonicFit. Read more about our pedagogy on our pedagogy page.
Musicians often use a mnemonic system to remember scale degrees of a scale. At SonicFit, we encourage using movable DO solfege. In this system, the first note of the scale is always DO, the second note RE, etc. Please see the lessons for full information on this.
When doing this exercise, you should be singing everything! Start by singing the scale on solfege. Next, sing prominent tendency tone resolutions, such as FA-MI, or TI-DO. Then sing the example played on a neutral syllable- like TA. Hold the first note and sing up the scale to find the first note. You might also try to hold the first note, then sing down the scale until you feel you've arrived at DO. Repeat this same action for the last note. Before you put in the answer, sing your choice on solfege and see if it feels right. After it is graded, sing the correct answer on solfege.
If you are taking a lot of time to answer the questions, you need to change the settings. Click on the settings button at the top, and select fewer notes. If these are easy for you, select more notes, add chromaticism and change keys. See the lessons for information on chromaticism.
Settings allow the user to adjust the material to match their skill level and pedagogical preferences. Settings include:
• select individual notes in the scale
• define the range and tessitura
• set mnemonic system- solfege (fixed or movable), numbers, letters
• set mode (major or minor, with la or do based minor both available
• set the instrument sounds played
Interval and chord ear training is a set of exercises to develop the ability to identify the quantity and quality of intervals or the quality and inversion of chords. The settings of these exercises allow a user to isolate specific parameters of the exercise to assist in the development of this skill. For a curriculum to guide and pace your development of these skills, see the interval and chord lessons in the SonicFit lessons.
The ability to identify intervals and chords by ear is considered a fundamental skill of most ear training and aural skills pedagogies. SonicFit agrees that this is an essential skill of the trained musician, however, we depart from other pedagogies regarding when and how to develop this skills. Recognizing intervals by ear and properly identifying them by both quantity and quality requires a significant understanding of music theory. While a student may memorize the names of intervals by how they sound, they won't really understand what the quantity and quality terms really mean until after they reach that part of the theory curriculum.
In contrast, students need no background in theory whatsoever to begin scale degree ear training exercises. For that reason, SonicFit considers scale degree recognition to be a rudimentary skill, and interval and chord recognition to be an extended skill build upon the former combined with an understanding of theory.
After developing fundamental skills of scale degree recognition and the theory behind intervals and chords, a student may then embark on the aural study of intervals and chords. A full curriculum for this study is found in the SonicFit lessons, which will fully explain the appropriate settings to use for each step of this study. Those settings include:
• set melodic, harmonic, or harmonic followed by melodic presentation of pitches
• isolate ascending or descending melodic presentation of pitches
• set the lowest or highest note to the same pitch every time
• in interval drill, set pitches to those in major or minor scale
- or pick the specific intervals drilled
• in triad drill, select which quality and inversions are presented
• enforce theoretical understanding by requiring note input
• set the instrument sounds played
The melodic fragments ear training exercise works towards better aural comprehension of melodic material that is not in a previously established diatonic framework. This is an advanced exercise that integrates previous ear training and theory including scale degree ear training, interval ear training,and a theoretical understanding of the intervalic construction of scales. For some melodic fragments, the pitches presented could fit in a diatonic framework, albeit one that has not been established by previous material. For these fragments, students trained in scale degree ear training should try to hear the solfege that fits the notes, then determine what pitches would correspond to those scale degrees given the first pitch. An aural understanding of intervals from interval ear training might be used as a check to verify accuracy of the pitches selected. These fragments are in the categories called "diatonic 3" and "diatonic 5". Notes in these fragments will be adjecent notes from a major scale, though not necessarily played in order.
Other melodic fragments cannot possibly fit into a major scale. For these, students will draw on skills identifying intervals as well as extablishing a close chromatic framework. Exercises vital to success with these sets are interval ear training and close chromatic framework. The content setting for these fragments include "close chromatic", "nested 3rds", and "nested 6ths".
Finally, the remaining sets include larger intervals, relying heavily on students who have significant aural proficiency with larger intervals and chords. Students should practice interval and chord ear training and consult the curriculum to develop these skills in the lessons prior to taking on these levels of melodic fragments.
Just as Scale Degree Ear Training develops aural comprehension of the diatonic framework, this exercise trains musicians in a chromatic framework. Interval recognition is an important part of this framework, however it is more than just identifying individual intervals. The framework is formed by the network of intervals known simultaneously and in cross-reference to each other. You know what A to C is because we also know A to C# and A to B, and you know what each pitch's place is relative to the others.
While interval recognition is in important reference and verification, to goal is to begin hearing the framework- each note having its place and knowing its place because you also know the place of every other note in consideration. To obtain this skill, pitch memory is perhaps a more fundamental tool than interval recognition. Imagine that each note is being played by a hand bell, and then recall which hand bell made each sound as you identify each tone presented. To develop this skill, it is essential that you being with a small set of pitches- here we begin with all the chromatic notes contained within a perfect fourth.
You might find it easiest to being by imposing the melodic minor scale, degrees 5-8 on these notes. The lowest note could be thought of as the 5th scale degree, and the top note the 8th. The middle notes on the right in blue are the raised 6th and 7th scale degrees, and the notes on the left in red are the lowered 6th and 7th scale degrees. Practice singing the top of the melodic scale up and then back down: "MI FI SI LA, SOL FA MI" (for LA based Minor*) between every example drilled to help keep you locked into the framework. Recognizing and singing the patterns for the top of the harmonic minor scale, natural minor scale and dorian scale can also help you lock into the framework. Eventually, however, you should train to just hear the framework of the notes presented, and not think of them as part of a scale.
After mastering the set of notes contained within a perfect fourth, expand your set of pitches by adding a chromatic pitch both above and below. You can use minor scales as a crutch to gain proficiency with the larger set of pitches. In adding pitches beyond this, SonicFit recommends the following: return to a set of pitches a perfect fourth apart, and as the same set of pitches displaced up the octave above the first. Learn to quickly shift octaves while maintaining the chromatic framework of these 6 notes. Only after improving proficiency with a displaced octave should you attempt chromatic frameworks larger than a perfect fifth. Settings for all of these options will be forthcoming.
* if using DO based minor, these would be SOL LA TI DO, TE LE SOL
This exercise plays a scale and the user identifies the scale played. The settings allow the user to limit which scales may be played, as well as select instrument sound to be played and save scores. Before attempting this exercise, students should of course have learned the intervalic content of scales presented in the theory sequence, as well as gained proficiency in hearing steps (melodic fragments, with setting of diatonic 3) and hearing triads (interval and chord ear training with settings to triads isolating root position melodic ascending). Scales included are:
• Major
• harmonic minor
• melodic minor
• natural minor
• Ionian (Maj)
• Dorian
• Phrygian
• Lydian
• Mixolydian
• Aeolian (min)
• Locrian
• chromatic
• whole tone
• octatonic (h.w)
• diminished (w.h)
• blues
• Dorian with #4
• Mixolydian with #4
This exercise plays two beats of rhythmic patterns presented melodically, that is, with pitch content to make it more memorable and resemble melodic fragments. The rhythmic patterns use quarter, eighth, and sixteenth division of the beat.
The user writes their answers on a piece of paper, (which is easier than entering buttons!) For levels 1-3, the user should write "1 e & a 2 e & a 1" representing the sixteenth note division of each beat. While listening to the fragment, the user should put a slash through each division in which a new note begins. From these slashes, the user should determine how best to beam these beats. There are certain conventions for beaming discussed in the SonicFit theory lessons, but it may be just as helpful to see the correct answers and learn how each patter is beamed. Hit the "show answer" button to see where slashes were accurately placed and the corresponding notation.
This exercise can be done long before learning about beaming. Developing the skill of slashing on the division can and should begin well before learning the proper way to notate the result. This will develop skills that will be very beneficial when taking the next steps.
Levels 4-6 are in compound duple meter in which the user should write "1 e a 2 e a 1", representing the eight division on 68 time signature. For levels 5 and 6, the user may mark between the eighths to represent sixteenth divisions.
This exercise plays a short harmonic progression with the bass line slightly louder than the upper voices. On staff paper, users should write out the solfege of the bass line under a staff first, then write the corresponding notes on the staff. You might add the solfege for the top voice above the staff next. Finally, determine the possible choices for chords given the two notes that you already have and your understanding of chord progression what would be most expected, and write the best choice. After clicking "show answer" listen again to hear the correct answer.
This exercise should be done very quickly. If you have trouble doing it in one or two listenings, then you should go to scale degree ear training, and set the instrument to cello or piano bass and practice listening to low instruments and immediately recognizing the scale degrees played. You will also need a strong understanding of the theory of chord progressions found in the lessons.
This exercise plays a short melodic passage so that the user can practice singing it back. This exercise is often used in choir auditions to test how well singers remember pitches. Such auditions also test the singer's familiarity with different types of melodic material, particularly those found in levels 3-6 described below. Practicing this material can increase your familiarty with it; however, to truly master this materal, you should also develop the skills found in melodic fragments, interval and chord ear training and close chromatic framework. The content in level 1 and 2 is primarily conjunct motion using diatonic notes. Level 3 introduces more leaps, and particularly consecutive leaps outlining triadic material. Level 4 includes leaps that do not outline a triad, focusing largely on quartal and quintal material, and level 5 and 6 include highly chromatic and atonal material, in which the notes could not possibly exist in a key without adding accidentals.
Honor Choir auditions typically test levels 2-5.
This is a ear training exercise common in most aural skills pedagogies. The computer plays a melody and the user writes it down. However, SonicFit encourages the following steps for melodic dictation.
1. Write the counts for every measure before hearing it the first time.
2. Draw a slash on any count (or between counts) corresponding to the start of a new note while listening for the first time or two.
3. Next, write the solfege above any slash. To move quickly, you can just write the first letter unless it is chromatically altered.
4. When done, transcribe the shorthand of slashes and solfege into standard musical notation.
Forms for these dictations can be printed under "forms" button, and will show the number of measures and an appropriate width for the measure. Levels 4, 5 and 8 contain excerpts from literature.

Welcome to the website of the European Parliament's Delegation for relations with Maghreb countries (DMAG).
It is a pleasure to introduce you to the delegation for relations with Maghreb countries. DMAG covers all North African countries, with the exception of Egypt. It comprises three Joint Parliamentary Committees (EU-Morocco, EU-Tunisia and EU-Algeria) and three Inter-Parliamentary delegations (Mauritania and Libya).
Parliamentary diplomacy and the parliamentary extension of international relations are at the heart of our delegation. The Maghreb delegation also represents the European Union in Maghreb countries and helps promote the values on which the European Union is founded: liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law.
During the present term, DMAG will continue to contribute to enhancing bilateral and regional relations in the complex international context that traditionally characterises the Mediterranean region.
DMAG will also deal with topical issues (such as migration, security, economic growth, protection of environment and social development) that impact citizens' lives more and more directly on both sides of the Mediterranean. The delegation, as part of its mandate, will also evaluate diverse strategic directions and global policy priorities, analysing EU policies and projects. The delegation works towards building renewed public trust (and support) that considers the interests of all parties involved.
During this legislative term, in addition to our regular meetings within the European Parliament, we will continue to hold Inter-Parliamentary Meetings (IPMs) or Joint Parliamentary Meetings (JPMs) with our counterparts. These meetings enhance relations between the EU and Maghreb countries, improving our mutual understanding and helping creating bridges and connections between the two rims of the Mediterranean.
