Step 1
Begin 4 days in advance: Make 5 color flow windows using patterns. Let windows dry 48 hours.
Step 2
When dry, draw diagonal windowpanes, 1 in. apart, with black FoodWriter, using ruler to guide. In gray royal icing, pipe a tip 8 outline on frame, inside original tip 3 frame outline. Pipe another tip 3 outline inside tip 8 outline; let dry overnight. Attach a lollipop stick to the back of windows 1 to 4 with royal icing; leave 2 in. extending at bottom. For window 5 (bottom window), use pattern to cut 2 supports from cardboard; attach to back of window with royal icing; let dry.
Step 3
At least one day in advance: Make 7 candelabra using 6 oz. of medium gray-tinted fondant and melted candy tinted gray using black candy color. Roll out fondant 1/8 in. thick. Using any tip with a 1 in. diameter bottom, cut 10 candle platform circles; set aside. For candle holders, roll 35 logs, 3/8 in. long x 1/4 in. diameter. For candle bases, roll 42 fondant balls, 1/4 in. diameter. Attach balls to platform with melted candy tinted gray using black candy color; stack 2 balls for the center candle and position 1 each for 4 outer candles; let set. Attach holders to balls with melted candy; let set. For candles, attach candy-coated oval mints to tops of candle holders with melted candy and let dry overnight. For center pillar, cut 7 lollipop sticks to 3 in. and cover 1 1/4 in. at top with gray fondant; leave remainder uncovered. Attach stick to bottom of candle platform with melted candy. Let set on sides. In royal icing, pipe tip 15 pull-out star flames on mints.
Step 4
One day in advance: Make cookies. Roll out dough. Using patterns, cut cape wings and 8 cookie supports. Also cut 3 boy cookies and 3 ghosts. Before baking, turn 1 ghost over for Witch. Bake and cool all cookies. Place cookies on waxed paper-covered cake boards and decorate with royal icing. For all piped-in areas, pat smooth with finger dipped in cornstarch. For wings, spatula ice smooth, then outline with tip 6. For all character cookies except Mummy, pipe tip 3 faces, hands and clothes. Add tip 2 facial features. For witch and Mrs. Frankenstein, spatula ice dresses smooth. Pipe witch hat with tip 6. Add tip 44 hatband and waistband. Position pretzel for broom; add tip 3 pull-out bristles and tip 44 band. Pipe Mrs. Frankenstein's hair with tip 3 zigzags, extending onto waxed paper; overpipe twice. For Mummy, pipe tip 44 band wrappings. Let all cookies dry overnight. Attach cookie sticks to backs of Witch and Dracula with melted candy; let dry. Attach 2 cookie supports to back of each remaining cookie with melted candy. Let set.
Step 5
Make "wood" floor base. Tint 48 oz. fondant brown with a small amount of black added. Roll out 1/8 in. thick. Cover 18 in. cardboard or foamcore circle with foil; brush with piping gel and cover with fondant. Using straight-edge wheel of Cutter/Embosser and ruler, score horizontal lines for wooden planks, 5/8 in. apart from end to end, on base. Divide planks every 4 1/2 to 5 in. with knife. Use small opening of tip 1s to imprint 3 nail holes in each plank. Use narrow end of veining tool from confectionery set to score wood grain lines. Randomly cut through corner of several boards and curl up slightly to resemble warped wood. Set aside.
Step 6
Prepare four 1-layer cakes for rolled fondant. Prepare cakes for stacked construction and position on same-size cake boards. Tint 84 oz. of fondant gray. Roll out fondant 1/4 in. thick and individually cover each cake. Stack cakes together so that backs are flush.
Step 7
Mark staircase area.
Step 8
Cover cakes with plastic wrap to keep fondant soft as you carve stones on other tiers. Lightly carve stones with small end of veining tool. Press smallest ball tool between stones for grout lines. Blend stones from one layer to the next. Position all cakes on floor base.
Step 9
Make stairs using remaining gray and carpet using 24 oz. of fondant tinted red. Roll a 1/2 in. diameter gray fondant ball for all candelabra. Attach a ball to alternating stairs with damp brush. Insert candelabra sticks through balls and into cake.
Step 10
Grate colored chalks separately onto waxed paper with tea strainer. Lightly brush on stones; brush dark shades between grout lines. Insert windows along side of stairs. Position bottom window on floor base. Insert Dracula and witch cookies in cake and position remaining cookies on floor base.

NDPDD head arrested
State and local authorities swooped in and arrested the longtime executive director of North Delta Planning and Development District, Glenn K. Brown, Thursday morning (July 1) at his office in Batesville.
Brown, 49, was booked at the Panola County jail at 8:25 and charged with fraud, according to the jail log.
Despite Brown's arrest, employees of North Delta Planning are still at work and performing their jobs, said (Panola) Board of Supervisors president Gary Thompson.
"The doors are still open," he said.
Blues gateway advancing
The Gateway to the Blues Visitor's Center may soon be rising from the Delta soil as the Board of Supervisors opened bids in conjunction with that project on June 30.
Nine companies submitted bids for phase one of the two phase project. The first phase includes the relocation and renovation of a train depot owned by the Hood family and renovations to the existing Visitor's Center in Tunica Resorts.
Engineer Mike Young read bids aloud to a crowd of over 20 citizens and contractors. Tunica Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Webster Franklin was also on hand for the bid opening.
Tunica Airport tapped for federal grant
The Tunica Airport was among three Mississippi airports receiving federal funding, according to a press release issued by Congressman Roger Wicker and Sen. Thad Cochran's offices late last week.
The grants, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, totalled $11.8 million. Tunica will receive $781,524.
"Each of the projects supported by this funding is designed to improve air service, which is important for economic development and tourism," Cochran said. "I am particularly pleased that funding is being provided to support the growth of air service in the Tunica area."
Shooting at local store sends one to area hospital
According to area residents and law enforcement officials, a shooting at a local convenience store during the lunch hour last Wednesday was the result of an ongoing dispute amongst two local men.
Witnesses at the scene as well as local law enforcement officers stated that 23-year-old Kendall Smith and Anzio "Zo" Camper arrived at A and H (Rocky's) Store at about the same time around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 23. Smith fired at least three shots at Camper outside the business, before Camper ran into the store. Smith then followed Camper into the business and continued firing, striking the victim several times. Witnesses reported at least seven shots were fired. Store employees stated that after Camper fell to the floor, Smith exited the business, fleeing the scene in a vehicle.

Public values in the energy sector: economic perspectives
An overview is provided of public values from main perspectives constituting economic science, while examining how these perspectives deal with energy policy. Neoclassical and New Institutional Economics conceive governance and regulation as outcomes of cost minimising actors that operate in well defined environments. Public values are an issue in the case of externalities, public goods and natural monopolies. Original Institutional Economics makes the framework of analysis multi-disciplinary, an analysis of the shared mental maps, learning, and the distribution of power via institutions. The actions of actors are driven by individual motivation and embedded in a technical and social, economic environment.Download Info

A 'Lack'-of-Progress Report on New Orleans
Produced by:
With New Orleans less than half as big as it was before Katrina, FEMA is trying to cut rent subsidies that could help more people return. The Army Corps of Engineers is dragging its feet on projects that could guarantee a safer city. Is the federal government abandoning a major American city? Are black people the big losers? Plus,John Bolton, US Ambassador to the UN, resigns as President Bush meets with a powerful Shiite leader who urges the US to remain in Iraq, and the US Supreme Court and public school integration.
Making News
President Bush Meets Key Shiite Leader ()
Unable to get enough votes for Senate confirmation, John Bolton today announced his resignation as US Ambassador to the UN. Secretary General Kofi Annan, meantime, said that Iraqis are worse off than they were under Saddam Hussein. At the White House, the President met with a powerful Shiite leader who told reporters he wants US troops to stay in his country.

Reporter's Notebook
Will Supreme Court Shoot Down School Integration? ()
The US Supreme Court today heard arguments from parents who don't like school integration programs in Louisville and Seattle. The case will produce latest reworking of Brown v. the Board of Education, the case that declared segregation unconstitutional in 1954. Although Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote the unanimous decision that segregated schools are "inherently unequal," he didn't specify how the ruling should be implemented.

Main Topic
Public Housing and FEMA Vouchers in the 'New' New Orleans ()
After Katrina, President Bush said, "We will do what it takes" to make "this great city... rise again." The Army Corps of Engineers promised to rebuild a safer New Orleans. Today, New Orleans is less than half as big as it was before Katrina and the Federal Emergency Management Agency may or may not restore rent subsidies that could help more residents to return. Meantime, rents are rising and what little public housing remains may be converted to mixed-income townhouses poor people can't afford. Today's New York Times reports that the Army Corps of Engineers has lost its sense of urgency to rebuild a city safe for enough business and jobs. Is the federal government abandoning a major American city? Are blacks the biggest losers?

Smell : In South Africa during the winter time everyone is in the house. They only really go outside to smoke cigarettes. When my cousins , aunts and uncles go to smoke a cigarette they would stand out on the porch with the only the screen door closed, so that they could still be in the conversation. And if you were in the house you would smell the sent of dull smoke. So now whenever I smell cigarette smoke I don't think of it as a bad thing like most people because I brings back memories oflaughing and family.
Taste: The taste of strawberries makes me remember being at my grandparents house and they had a strawberry patch. And my cousin and I in the summer would pick the little baby strawberries and store them in the tree house we had and eat them. My grandmother always got mad because she wanted to make jam out of them :).
Touch: The worst feeling to me is when the doctor ties the elastic ribbon around your arm to take your blood. This brings me back to my memories of going through my blood disorder. Now I really do not like the feel of elastic .
Sound: The sound of keys juggling brings back the memory of my dad coming home from long trips. His job requires him to go on research trips for a period of time. His trips were a lot longer when I was little. So whenever he came home and he opened the gate to our house his keys would jiggle and that would tell me that he was home.
Sight: When I was younger I had a blood disorder and I would have to go to kapiolani hospital ever week and get my blood drawn and tested . The area that I had to be in was right next to the children's leukemia ward. And I remember walking by that ward and my mom saying " that is were the really sick children are" . So the sight of hospitals to me make me really nervous.

United States U.S. Military Nebraska Nebraska Military Nebraska in the Civil War 1st Regiment, Nebraska Cavalry
Contents |
Brief History
The 1st Regiment, Nebraska Cavalry was created when the 1st Regiment, Nebraska Infantry was renamed on November 6, 1863. On July 22, 1864, the regiment re-mustered as Veteran Volunteers at Omaha, Nebraska.[1] On July 10, 1865, the regiment was consolidated with the 1st Battalion, Nebraska Cavalry. From June 12 through July 5, 1866, it was engaged in an expedition to the Platt and Mojave Rivers, Nebraska, and was mustered out July1,1866 [2] at Omaha.[1]

- The Civil War Archive section, 1st Regiment Cavalry, (accessed 19 July 2012).
- The Wikipedia Article, 1st Regiment Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, (accessed 19 July 2012).
Companies in this Regiment with the Counties of Origin
Men often enlisted in a company recruited in the counties where they lived though not always. After many battles, companies might be combined because so many men were killed or wounded. However if you are unsure which company your ancestor was in, try the company recruited in his county first.

New method of gathering labor statistics initiated one month before the elections using a newfangled household survey method. Real jobs added were 114,000 including several new Gov't positions. The new survey added 873,000 additional people to the overall workforce numbers. The new method allows counting as working anyone in a household who "works" cutting grass, babysitting, gutter cleaning, pet walking and other odd jobs that any member of a household may perform and collect any pay (cash). This is an employment category never tapped by the labor department since the pay does not get recorded in tax or social security records.

The jobs report prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics had mixed news today. Job growth was mediocre - only 114,000 new jobs were added in September, which isn't even enough to keep up with population growth. The top-line unemployment number fell to 7.8% and there was actually an increase in the labor force participation rate.
The biggest news consisted of revisions to previous reports. BLS revised the previous two months up by almost 100,000 total jobs (there were 40,000 more jobs added to August and 44,000 jobs added to July).

About Us
Our mission is to understand the atmospheric processes that drive regional and global earth systems, with a primary focus on climate, aerosol and cloud physics; global and regional scale modeling; integrated assessment; and complex regional meteorology and chemistry.
In supporting this mission, our research addresses one of the key missions of the Department of Energy, namely to ensure that the nation's energy system is economically and environmentally sustainable. Because nearly all energy-related emissions enter the atmosphere, research on atmospheric processes and their impacts on human health and the environment-over a variety of temporal and geographic scales-is critical to understanding these consequences.
Scientists in this division lead and contribute to programs within the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and industry. Major programs supported by this division include the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program, the DOE Atmospheric Science Program, the DHS Urban Dispersion Program, and the Global Energy Technology Strategy Program, a public-private international collaboration.
From the role of clouds and aerosol processes in climate change, to the effect of energy technology choices on greenhouse gas emissions, PNNL scientists are combining an extensive world-wide field observational system with laboratory research and modeling to advance our understanding of integrated Earth systems on regional and global scales.

US 2378801 A Description (OCR text may contain errors) June 19, 1945. P. A. SIDELL ETAL METHOD AND PRODUCT OF JOINING PREFORMED PLASTIC MEMBERS Filed Aug. 28, 1941 MW R W Mm N J T I we m 0 5? Patented June 19, 1945 METHOD AND PRODUCT OF JOINING PREFORMED PLASTIC MEMBERS Philip A. Sidell and Edward J. Weliman, Galesburg, Ill., assignors to Outboard Marine & Manui'acturing Company, Galesburg, 111., a corporation of Delaware Application August 28, 1941, Serial No. 408,666 - 3 Claims. This invention relates to a novel method of joining preformed plasticmembers, and to products assembled by said method. The primary object ,of the invention resides in the provisionof a method-whereby one or more preformed members or articles of plastic composition may be quickly and economically joined in fused relation toproduce a unitary structure, the joined portions of which possess substantially the same tensile strengthand rigidity as the preformed portions; said joining being accomplished without the use of bolts, rivets, or the like. More specifically, it is an object of theinvention to develop directly at the surfaces to be joined, a temperature sufficiently high to effect the fusion of such surfaces while maintaining transmission through portions of'thelmembers adjacent such surfaces. Another object is to provide novel means for applying heat to molded plastic sections and concentrating said heat within. a preselected area during joining of plastic members by fusion. Another object is to provide a method of welding plastics by heat developed or applied directly between the surfaces to be joined. A further object is generally to improve and simplify the assembly of plastic structures, with specialreference to built-up plastic articles such as domestic refrigerator evaporator doors and the like. y In the drawing: Fig. 1 is a view in perspective of a refrigerate evaporator door comprising individual sections unitarily'joined by the method herein set forth, with parts broken away toillustrate details of the joint. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view showing plastic members clamped together as during the joining operation. I i Fig. 3 illustrates, diagrammatically, electric means conductively coupled to a resistance element to provide heat for fusing complementarily engaged plastic members. Fig. 4 illustrates an alternate embodiment of the invention wherein induction currents are employed to fuse the plastic. Fig. 5 is a view in section and perspective, diagrammatically illustrating parts assembled in accordance with an alternative method employing the invention. - Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughoutthe several views. The invention is applicable to the use of thermoplastics generally. Examples are the them under pressure, without requiring heat styrene and under the trade name Tenite No. 2, and any of the cellulose acetate group of plastics. Plastic molders have insisted that there was no way of connecting prefabricated plastic parts save by rivets or screws orthe like, but in practice it is found that parts so connected do not have adequate rigidity in the particular field in which this invention is particularly useful. Attempts to fuse the parts under pressure by means of heat derived through the pressure mediums resulted in the undue softening. of the bodies to be joined before suflicientih eat was communicated through the bodies from the clamping jaws to effect fusion. The present invention contemplates the fusion of parts by means of heat developed directly between the surfaces to be fused while maintainingsuch surfaces under a continuing compressive force adequate to embed the heating element when the heat of fusion is reached to produce an extremely strong and reinforced joint without'so softening contiguous portions of the preformed articles as to result in deformation thereof. The invention has particular utility in the manufacture of evaporator doors for domestic refrigerators from separate preformed sections. The preformed sections may be made up in differentcolors if desired, and may be madeinterchangeable with other sections to produce any requisite color scheme from low cost standard parts. By way of illustration the invention is exemplified as applied to the construction of evaporator doors from preformed sections. As shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the improved method of joining individual members or sec-- tions contemplates the employment of a resistance type heating element interposed between abutted 0r contiguous portions of the sections to be joined, at least one of which is thermo-plastic, the element being embedded into the thermoplastic during the joining operation and becoming a part of the joint. Thus, as shown in Fig. 1, an evaporator door for a domestic refrigerator may be assembled as follows, it being apparent that any other desired plastic, structure may be assembled by a like method. A preformed central tray-like section [0 has a flat side wall area H against which 'ametallic heating element I2, which may be a strip of screen cloth, is positioned. A tray-like section I3 is pressed toward the side of tray liiand the intervening heating element l2. In the present structnre a second tray-like section II is mounted at the opposite side of the central tray ll toproduce a symmetrical door assembly, but since it is Joined by an identical process, duplicate description is herein eliminated. If desired, marginal portions of the various trays may be provided with offset areas to effect mechanically interlocking engagement therebetween as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, whereby to aid in positioning and strengthening the respective sections. . Clamping means, such as spring clamps II, are then brought into engagement with the side members II and H to maintain the sections resiliently pressed against interposed heating element I 2. Element I2 is then heated sufficiently to raise the temperature of the immediately engaged plastic to the point of fusion thereof. During the heating operation the surface of the thermo-plastic softens prior to reaching the fusion point and the surface portions II and ii are brought into mutual contiguous abutment under the urge of clamp H, as the heating element is embedded partly in one section, and partly in the other (assuming both to be thermoplastic). As the point of fusion is reached, the continued resilient pressure embeds the heating element I2 and, by reason of the fusion, the two members become joined as an integral mass. Just enough heat, is applied to element I! to effect a strong joint, at which point the heating is discontinued, the sections being allowed to completely set before the clamps are removed. The heating element, being embedded in the material at the joint, provides reinforcing means to increase the rigidity and tensile strength of material at that point. As a result, joints formed in this manner have been found to be substan- ,tially equal in strength to other :portions of the members, even though complete fusion 'of the by means of heat developed in the clamps or communicated to the abutting surfaces through any portion of the plastic bodies, here acts to assist in the development of a perfect ioint. Although the. contiguous surfaces of the plastic Connectors ll may be extended to contact with element It in any suitable manner, as by extending through portions of the plastic, to be later removed, or element I! may be extended beyond the ends of the section side wall to be trimmed off after the fusing operation. An alternate method of heating the element is diagrammatically shown in Pig. 4, wherein the element is subjected to electromagnetic induction for the heating thereof. This may be accomplished it? using a well known induction coil 20, connected to a suitable source of current through conduits 20. and in which the clampingly engaged sections are disposed during the heating r operation. If desired, it may be accomplished by using a well known induction coil ll, connected to a suitable source of current through conduits 20, and in which the clampingly engaged sections are disposed during the heating operation. If desired, it may be accomplished through other suitable induction means, using either high or low frequencies, there being no necessity for employing a furnace due to the fact that onlythe heating element and plastic contiguous thereto is to be heated. Under some circumstances, as where the material of the preformed plastic articles is relatively thin andrel'atively transparent, the intervening heating element may be heated by infra red rays from any suitable source which will penetrate the plastic virtually without raising its temperature, but will highly heat the intervening fuel element, particularly if such element is dark in color to absorb such rays. In this instance the heating element need not necessarily be metallic. If non-metallic, its softening temperature may be either above or below that of the plastic articles to be joined, depending on whether the ioinder is to be accomplished by fusing the articles to each other or by fusing the intervening heating element to the respective articles. are thermo-plastic, it is possible to practice the I method where they are not. Pig. 5 shows an members to be joined are heated to the fusion point of one or both of them, the-main body of plastic behind such surfaces, as well as the plastic remote from the heating element in the plane of such surfaces, remainsbelow the fusing temperature and consequently retains its form under the clamping pressure. But for this, an irregular joint might result. Because it is possible to localize the fusion in the immediate vicinity of the heating element, it is also possible to terminate the heating before the extreme margins tion, the ends of the elements being connected through connectors l9 and conduit" to'a source of electric energy 2|, which is preferably of low voltage and high amperage. A variable resistance It may be included in the circuit to control the amount of current flow through the element. Lil and the intervening heating element II which, energized by the passage of a current therethrough by means of the connectors I and I1, may be made hot enough to fuse the thin plies 34 to embed the heating element and to connon-thermo-plastic members ll and ii, it is obviously necessary that the members 34 be sufficiently thin, or heated for a sumcient length of time, so that both their inner and outer surfaces will become fused. While this is satisfactory in'many instances, it is not the preferred embodiment of the invention for the reason that the fusion effect is not as well equalized as it is where one or both of the primary members to be joined are of themselves thermo-plastic. The use of a strip of screen cloth as a heating element has the great advantage that it is ideally adapted to permit free penetration of the fused surfaces contiguous to it, but except as hereinafter stated, we not do limit ourselves to any particular form of heating element. The above described method of plastic fusion is almost unlimited in its scope of usefulness for many reasons. First, it produces a joint which is at'least equal in strength to similar unfused portions of the preformed parts and which is vastly superior to the only joints which heretofore were believed practical in the structural assembly of plastic sections, namely, bolt or rivet joints. The fused joint produces a stronger and more rigid structure, and from an appearance standpoint it is much more acceptable to the user. The embedded heating element is not unsightly even if visible, and in many structures it is completely concealed from view. Where visible, it may be of a color to blend in with the adjacent plastic to become practically unnoticeable. Secondly, it enables an operator to definitely limit the extent of the area to be joined, most of the heat being confined to the immediate vicinity of the heating element. Softening of the plastic portions surrounding the joints is minimized, and because the only portions which are substantially softened are held in clamped engagement during fusion, distortion of the sectio being assembled does not occur. Thirdly, it permits the fusion of complicated structures which could not be joined by either bolts or rivets, because when completely assembled they form an enclosure which precludes the installation or removal of either bolts or rivets. It is highly objectionable to resort to outwardly extending flanges in the assembly of enclosed structures, but such practice would be imperative were it not for the present method of joining. Irrespective of thickness or shape, the present method permits of joining any thermo-plastic surfaces. Articles may be joined not only at their broad faces, but also along their edges, since the heating element may be made of any suitable width. While the tray-like component parts of my improved evaporator door are made hollow for purposes of economy, the principle involved in joining them in accordance with the disclosure of this application, would be the same if each component part were solid. Consequently, in effect, the present disclosure involves the butt welding of the margins of the component thermo-plastic sections. Fourthly, the present method enables an operator to accurately control the amount of heat applied to the plastic surfaces being Joined, thereby obtaining maximum results in fusing the material. A further advantage resides in the fact that the method may be successfully employed with very low cost equipment, thus making it applicable for use in the smallest shop. Finally, my improved method actually reinforces the joint by means of the heating element which remains in the joint embedded in the fused surfaces of the respective parts. We claim: 1. A method of connecting a substantially unyielding thermo-plastic member to another member with which it may be bonded under the influence of heat and pressure, consisting of providing said members with mating flanges, clamping said flanges together with a foraminous electrical resistance element interposed, passing an electrical current through said element to heat the contiguous surfaces of the flanges until said thermo-plastic material becomes sufliciently plastic to allow the element to become embedded therein under said clamping pressure, and until the mating surfaces of said flanges become fused, then disconnecting the electrical current supply and allowing the bonded flanges to cool. 2. An assembly of the character described, comprising the combination of a plurality of normally unyielding thermo-plastic members having finished outer surfaces and inner surfaces provided with mating flanges, and spaced metallic reenforcing means interposed between said flanges behind said inner surfaces and embedded in the material of said flanges, the abutting Dortions of said flanges being fused in the spaces between the metallic reenforcing means to produce a unitary structure substantially as described. 3. An assembly of the character described, comprising a plurality of thermo-plastic members having finished outer surfaces contiguous at a joint, and inner surfaces provided with mating marginal flanges, the margin of one of said members being shouldered to receive the margin of the other, whereby said flanges are offset from said joint, a piece of foraminous reenforcing material embedded in the material of the flanges, the opposing surfaces of the flanges being fused with each other behind and laterally offset from the joint in the spaces between the elements of the foraminous material, whereby to produce a unitary structure with outer finished surfaces unmarred by connecting means.

Ukrainian PM confirms plans to launch satellite in 2011
Related News
KIEV, August 12 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine will launch its own communications satellite in 2011 despite the current political crisis in the country, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said on Wednesday.
The satellite, dubbed Lybid, is being developed by the Yuzhnoye design bureau to be launched on the Zenit-3 LV carrier rocket. The development has been slow due to the shortage of funding.
"I think everything will turn out fine with politics in Ukraine, and we will be able to bring this project to a logical conclusion by September 2011," Tymoshenko told a Cabinet meeting.
The National Space Agency of Ukraine (NSAU) earlier said the Lybid project would be financed by the Canadian MDA company.
NSAU is expecting to receive a $254 million loan from MDA in April 2010.
The former Soviet republic has been conducting space activities since 1993, and became a space power (country able to launch own satellite by own carrier rocket) in 31 August 1995 with the launch of the Sich-1 Earth remote-sensing satellite on a Tsyklon delivery vehicle.
The launch of a geostationary telecoms satellite is important for Ukraine to provide reliable coverage of the Euro 2012 football championships, which Ukraine will co-host together with Poland.

to share the love i have for paintball .Here is a letter i write to you
Dear Paintball
I met you 4 years ago on a hot summer day I didn't know much about you but
after the first shot i new i wanted to know you better. That first day i meet you i enjoyed our visit , it lasted about 7 hours .
I meet a lot of your family that day and i think most of them left there friendly handshake with me , I don't believe i exchanged the same to anyone that day.
I got home and my wife asked me if i had fun. Well i told her i think i am hooked , she rolled her eyes and said Great .
Well a week went buy and i decided to bring a few friends to meet you too , we all had fun and again we all meet your family and they left us with more handshakes to go home with.
You know after the first couple of months of our friendship your family started calling me and asking if i was coming out on the weekend , I truly started feeling like family too
You introduced me to so many friends and you welcomed me and eventually you welcomed my family into your family and after a few years of knowing you i realize you are responsible for most of my friends .
You welcomed my 3 sons in the same manor you welcomed me , when my Dad passed away who did i turn to , My family and your family . One of your family members who goes by the Jester. I truly thank him
Jester made sure that the Air force Honor Guard was present at my dads funeral last year . You truly have Honorable Members and i feel it a honor that you extended your hand and welcomed us
thank you paintball
your friend
ps ........ I have coached football, basketball , baseball for my sons, but in all that i still was on the side lines when the game started .
here is a photo of three more reasons why a dad plays paintball "My sons"
I just wish this sport was around when i was a kid , i would have loved to have played with my dad .

Letter from Cheryl Campion, St. Thomas More Office Manager
Posted by duncanjudy on April 16, 2013
In July 1990 I received a phone call from my friend Father Bob Busher. He was pastor at St. Patrick's, IC, having left St. Thomas More a year prior. Fr. B. said Fr. Hitch and STM were looking for someone to replace Irene Baxter, who was retiring after 12 years. I met with Father Hitch and the rest is history. In June I will finish my 23rd and final year as your office manager.
What a great job this has been. Fr. Hitch and Fr. Wally have made the time fly by – two great bosses! I have seen many changes over the years. We bought our first computer in late 1990 and my days of composing the bulletin on a typewriter were behind me. The biggest change would have to be leaving the old location. I loved that old frat house and all the headaches that came with it.
My personal life brought changes as well. I married my long-time friend, Bear. He spent countless hours over the years on "honey-do" lists for me at STM. One of my favorites was the installation of a hand rail in the stairwell at the old Parish Center so Maxine and Louise could still stop in for a visit and attend their Bible study. Fr. Hitch officiated at my mom's funeral in 1997. The large plant outside my office door is from her funeral. Please see that it continues to flourish – it loves that spot Jake – my grandson, is now a freshman in college and he welcomed a brother, Dylan in 2009. I plan to spend more time with them (hope Jake isn't reading this or he will run like the wind!). Along with more grey hair, age is bringing a desire to see old friends and new places. Bear hopes to retire this December so we want to camp more and catch up on home projects.
My plan is to welcome Father Page in June, help train my replacement and use some of my vacation days. My last day will be July 31.
I have met many wonderful people at STM, some have become like family. I also gained life-long friends I get to take with me when I leave! Thank you for the opportunity to work for and with you. I will truly miss my days at St. Thomas More.

What's Next: Fourth Quarter Update Investment Actions
BlackRock | October 15, 2013 | Topics: Fixed Income, Equities, Economic Outlook, Investing for Income
Looking ahead, with a fragile economic recovery and risks from budget rancor and higher interest rates, we expect the U.S. economy to plod forward in slow growth mode. Nevertheless, opportunities remain, and we would encourage investors to work with their financial professional to seek out new ways to expand their portfolios:
Investor demand and policy has pushed interest rates to such lows that it presents new risks. To achieve income and return, traditional strategies that worked in the past may not work in the future. We recommend:
- Allocate to Flexible Core Bond Alternatives
- Increase Exposure to Credit Sectors
- Implement Long/Short Strategies
Historically low yields within traditional fixed income is causing investors to generate income in their portfolios. Casting a wider net for income will be key. We recommend:
- Implement Solutions That Balance Income and Risk
- Invest in Non-Traditional Income Sources
- Allocate to Municipal Bonds for Tax-Advantaged Income
Equities remain attractive and should be the foundation for meaningful long-term growth. However, mitigating volatility is critical. We recommend:
- Allocate to Flexible, Unconstrained Strategies
- Invest in High Quality, Dividend-Paying Equities
- Implement Alternative Strategies

Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to make principal and interest payments.
