From country retreat to busy London neighbourhood: the history of Islington
Today, Islington is a highly sought-after address offering the shops and restaurants of Upper Street, plus boutiques, bars and cafes in the surrounding streets, and all within a short distance from the centre of town. The architectural gems of Islington, including Georgian terraced rows and Victorian semi-detached villas, are also a powerful draw-card for residents.
However, it was only a short time ago that Islington was seen as a country retreat and was in fact nicknamed 'London's Dairy' because of its association with providing milk and cheese to the residents of London.
Anglo-Saxon and Tudor Islington
During the Anglo-Saxon period, the area was known as Gislandune, meaning Gisla's Hill, and by the time of the Domesday book in 1086 it was recorded as Iseldone, or 'lower town' in relation to its position to today's Highbury. Due to its location to the north of the City of London, it became a natural stopping place for those travelling from the north. By the 16th century, the area was still largely fields and it became a popular place for building large country mansions with gardens and orchards. Henry VIII used to hunt near-by and Queen Elizabeth I often visited Islington when coming to stay with Sir John Spencer at Canonbury House. Throughout the Tudor period Islington became a popular stopping point for royalty travelling in and out of London
Apart from the large country houses, Islington was primarily occupied by farmers and drovers bringing their livestock and goods to the London markets, especially to Smithfield. It was due to this association with cattle that Islington became the location for a number of dairies, providing fresh milk and cheese to Londoners.
'New Tunbridge Wells'
During the 18th century Islington also became associated with fresh water springs, with the discovery of a spring at Sadler's Wells, previously known as The Islington Spa and also 'New Tunbridge Wells'. The area became known for its entertainments, with theatres, tea gardens, pubs and the spas. During the 1730s George II would visit with his daughters, Princesses Amelia and Caroline, and records show that during the height of its popularity as many as 1,600 people took the waters in one day. However, by the late 18th century, the spa fell into disrepute.
19th century transport and houses
The 19th century brought about much change in Islington as the population of London began to spread further outwards and the introduction of the Regents Canal in 1820 brought more and more people to this once rural village. New houses began to appear throughout the early to mid-19th century and with the introduction of the railways in the 1860s and the underground railway at the turn of the 20th century, Islington soon became covered in streets of new houses.
Famous names
Throughout its history, Islington has been a popular address for writers and artists, with a long list of names having called it home. Mary Wollstonecraft lived in Newington Green in 1784 where she opened a school for girls; children's author, Kate Greenaway lived on Upper Street in 1852; author of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams, lived in Duncan Terrace during the 1980s; and author George Gissing and playwright Joe Orton both lived along Noel Road.
Other famous residents include George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, Louis MacNeice, Benjamin Britten, Thomas Carlyle and Nancy Mitford. Charles Wesley was curate at St Mary's Church during the 1730s and his brother John Wesley spoke at the church a number of times; Charlie Chaplin lived in Arlington Way as a child; and former Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli lived in Islington and went to school in Colebrook Row from 1808.
Today, Islington continues to be a very popular address with a vibrant high street, along with beautiful houses and quiet residential streets.

I have a memory foam mattress and love it. I don't think its very hot, but then again my house is really cold even in the hot summers. The first night I didn't really like it but now I really, really love it. I have had it for about a year. One thing you might not know is that when they are advertised, it may say something like temperature controlled. Ect. That just means that the spot you have been laying in gets really soft and comfy. The rest of the mattress will feet a lot harder and harder to the touch. Hope that helped and made sense!!!
Turner and Prime Minister William Gladstone. Baker Street was not only the address of fictional character Sherlock Holmes, but was also the home of Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger. Montagu Square has been the home of author Anthony Trollope, and in the 1960s was where Ringo Starr rented a flat, and had many visitors, including Paul McCartney and Jimi Hendrix, and in 1968 Lennon and Yoko Ono moved in while they were recording The White Album
The name Northcote is believed to originate from politician Stafford Northcote, first Earl of Iddesleigh, who began his career as private secretary to William Gladstone, and later rose to become Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1874.

May marked the return of Beyonce to the stage following the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy at the top of the year. However, fans hopeful to see more of the superstar thereafter were left somewhat disappointed when she returned to the normality of her day-to-day life. Indeed, the nearest her ever-loyal BeyHive got to a King B performance was her moshing in the pit of many a festival this Summer gone
That's all set to change come November, however. For, it has been announced that the 'Crazy In Love' singer will hit the stage at Alicia Keys' annual Black Ball gala.
Details after the jump…
According to the Associated Press, the 31 year old and Carole King will perform at the November 1st fundraiser which is held each year to benefit Keys' Keep A Child Alive charity.
Keys' herself (whose new album 'Girl On Fire' arrives later that month on the 27th) will also take to the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom event, which this year honors Oprah Winfrey and Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo. The pair are being recognized for their philanthropic efforts.
Actress and talk-show host Whoopi Goldberg will sere as the the night's emcee.
As with all Ms. Carter performances, this is sure to be an event in itself. Needless to say, roll on November!
Randomness: Ironically, it was at last year's London Black Ball that we quizzed Alicia on the whereabouts of her and Beyonce 'Put It In A Love Song' video. We'll share the footage of her response some day, one day. Until then, check out the ladies live performance of the track below…

Shirley, Community fans are going to be disappointed with this news. But alas, it's true: Yvette Nicole Brown is departing the fan favorite comedy after five seasons.
Brown — who has played Shirley Bennett since the 2009 launch of Community — confirms to TV Guide Magazine that she has asked to be released from her contract for personal reasons. Sony Pictures TV and executive producers Dan Harmon and Chris McKenna have honored her request.
The actress says the change was necessary in order to take care of her ailing father. "My dad needs daily care and he needs me," Brown says. "The idea of being away 16 hours a day for five months, I couldn't do it. It was a difficult decision for me to make, but I had to choose my dad."
"Six seasons and a movie" almost didn't happen. As June drew to a close, time was running out to save Community, which NBC had canceled in May. Talks to move the comedy to streaming service Hulu were falling apart, the deal options to keep the show's cast intact expired at the end of the month, and much of the crew and key writers had already moved on to new jobs. Even the comedy's offices on the studio lot had been taken over by a new series: Grace and Frankie, Netflix's upcoming sitcom starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
"When a show is canceled, it's usually canceled," says Sony Pictures Television programming president Zack Van Amburg, whose company produces Community. read more

Actress Molly Parker admits she doesn't know why she was invited to appear on this week's episode of SundanceTV's The Writers' Room. "But I'm happy to be here," she says, eager to celebrate the creative minds behind Netflix's House of Cards.
Parker, who joined the second season of House of Cards as Congresswoman Jackie Sharp, says she was drawn to the show because of executive producer Beau Willimon, who adapted the series for U.S. audiences. "Clearly not all television is created equal," Parker says. "To have the opportunity to work on a show that the writer-creator has such a strong vision and is just so talented, it's an honor."

Will "six seasons and a movie" come to fruition? As NBC mulls the fate of the Greendale gang, the Community clarion call — first uttered as a joke by Abed (Danny Pudi) in a Season 2 episode — may be moving closer to reality.
According to insiders, at least one director has already been considered to helm the inevitable Community feature: Justin Lin, who directed the last four movies in the Fast & Furious franchise. Lin has also directed several episodes of Community.
When news of Pierce's (Chevy Chase) death jarringly interrupted the search for the A--crack Bandit, many fans felt his passing wasn't treated with the respect it deserved. This week, "Cooperative Polygraphy" proves Pierce's death wasn't simply a footnote in Community history when the arrival of his executor Mr. Stone (Walton Goggins) demonstrates the continuing influence Pierce has on the Study Group.

Nike Air Pegasus 83/30 – Flash Lime – Orange
July 6th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 3 comments
In light of Nike Sportswear's tendency to update their classic running shoes, this remixed Pegasus is a natural fit. This new Nike Air Pegasus 83/30 colorway goes a step further and demonstrates the model's unique charm with a colorway the likes of which we've yet to see from the classic Pegs. It's on this Flash Lime-striped pair that we see both the most exuberant colorway to date and one that maximizes the Engineered Mesh elements with staticky, almost Flyknit-like textures. Check out more images after the jump and pre-order this August shipment today from End.

All-New X-Men: Should They Stay Or Should They Go?
When Marvel announced the concept of All-New X-Men, we were sceptical. A comic book about the original teenage X-Men in the present-day Marvel Universe felt like a crazy idea for a miniseries, much less an ongoing. Yet Brian Michael Bendis and Stuart Immonen won us over; All-New X-Men is solid entertainment, earning a spot in ComicsAlliance's list of the Best Comic Books of 2013.
And yet, 15 months and 24 issues later, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Cyclops and Angel are still with us, and we're still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Is this really the new status quo? Is it really sustainable to have two different versions of so many major characters rocking around the Marvel Universe?

Dear Mr Powers and Bugtraq,
My Motorola SB4100 handled the SNMP test suite well up until test-case 900,
upon which it locked up completely.
I had to disconnect and reconnect the power cord to bring it back online. I
haven't tried the rest of the suite yet.
Amazingly, my SB3100 stood up to the entire test suite of 10600 cases
without a hitch, and apparently has not suffered any ill effects.
Incidentally, it took me a while to find the test suite, interested
parties can find it here:
To my cable company's credit, they recently restricted SNMP access across
the subnet my cable modem resides in. It appears you can only send SNMP
packets to your own modem. This was not the case late last year.
Not all of us are so lucky. My ISP, who shall remain nameless for now,
appears to have left SNMP of all their customers' modems wide open. They
are on RFC1918 private addresses, so not reachable from the Internet at
large, but I'd bet that a few of our users are running a UDP echo service
which could be used to send nasty packets to everyone else.
NT4's SNMP service crashes around test-case 2358. The SNMP service in Win9x
crashes slightly sooner. Neither was as impressive as the cable modem. :)
I will test some more devices on Monday and report any positives I find.
Cheers, Chris.

The first Gulfstream G250 super-midsize business jet had its Honeywell HTF7250G engines mounted on June 1 at Israel Aerospace Industries' factory in Tel Aviv. The wing was mated to the fuselage on May 12, exactly one week after the first power-on test had taken place. The aircraft's first flight is loosely pegged for "later this year," while certification is scheduled for 2011.

The first Gulfstream G250 super midsize business jet had its Honeywell HTF7250G engines mounted on June 1 at Israel Aerospace Industries' factory near Tel Aviv. The wing was mated to the fuselage on May 12, after the first power-on test had taken place on May 5. The aircraft's first flight is loosely pegged for "later this year," while certification is scheduled for 2011.
The FAA has proposed leveling a $1.3 million fine on Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Gulfstream International Airlines for improper scheduling of flight crew duty time and the installation of unapproved air conditioner compressors and improperly maintained vent blowers on the regional airline's fleet of 27 Beech 1900Ds.
According to letters sent to the Texas Workforce Commission, Gulfstream Aerospace is laying off 219 Dallas-based employees. This comes on the heels of similar Warn letters sent earlier this month to the 70 employees of the General Dynamics Aviation Services (GDAS) facility in Minneapolis notifying them of its closure at the end of June.
Gulfstream Aerospace has reinstituted its "Meet the Quote" spare parts price-matching program, initially launched in March 2004, and operators have until July 31 to enjoy the savings. The program includes price matching on the most popular exchange parts, including valves, alternators, regulator and brake assemblies, actuators and display units. The offer is extended to operators of all Gulfstream jets.
The aerospace division at General Dynamics, which includes Gulfstream and Jet Aviation, "held its own" in the first quarter, parent company chairman and CEO Nicholas Chabraja said yesterday during an investor conference call. "A noteworthy accomplishment, I think, in light of business market conditions." As a whole, first-quarter revenues at General Dynamics rose to $18.3 billion, up 18 percent from the same period last year.
Less than 40 days ago, General Dynamics chairman and CEO Nicholas Chabraja said subsidiary Gulfstream was seeing demand for large-cabin jets hold strong, though he acknowledged that sales of its midsize jets had "dramatically softened." At the time, Chabraja predicted that Gulfstream would deliver 94 large-cabin jets (seven more than last year) but would more than halve midsize shipments to "about 30." Today his expectations met the reality of
Gulfstream Aerospace recently launched BudgetPlus, a parts subscription service that offers mid-cabin Gulfstream owners and operators a way to manage their annual maintenance costs. The launch formalizes a pilot program Gulfstream introduced in 2005.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority has approved Gulfstream's factory-owned London Luton service center to maintain Gulfstream G150s registered with the EASA. This approval makes Gulfstream's Luton facility capable of servicing all Gulfstream models in Europe.
Morro Vermelho Taxi Aereo (MVTA) in São Paulo, Brazil, has been added to Gulfstream Aerospace's international product-support network. The Brazil-based company will distribute aircraft parts to Gulfstream operators located in or traveling through South America.

"Precious Love" by How to Dress Well from What Is This Heart
"Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.
Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm lucky.
When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that's something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know.
So I close in saying that I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
"One of my pet theories at Jambo, caroming around inside my mind while I held my reporting notebook under a fifteen-year-old's nose, was that scouting was actually a terrific organization for gay teenagers. Perhaps, at least by design, one of the best. Outsiders belong in Scouts. It's a system in which kids get an opportunity to build confidence and make mistakes. Test themselves safely, and be supported by other kids their own age. Scouting, when it works, reaches out to the lonely and strengthens the weak; takes the misunderstood, the wild, the neglected, and gives them ways to be rewarded; connects a kid who knows only his inner life to the majesty of the wilderness; shows a young person what becoming an adult means in bigger terms than popular culture. Fundamentally, it's an old system, built around old ideas—honor, courage, and compassion most of all."

A bird ballet
Owen Pallett - The Riverbed
"Although many harsh words are said about the childlike response of the public to the coming emergency, the response doesn't seem to me very surprising, either. It's hard to keep apocalypse consistently in mind, especially if you want to get out of bed in the morning. What's missing from the account is how much of our reaction is emotional. If it weren't, the whole landscape of debate would be different. We can easily imagine, for example, a world in which the deniers were not deniers at all, but simple ruthless pragmatists, the kind of people who say: "I understand very well what's coming, but I am not concerned with my grandchildren; I am concerned with myself, my shareholders, and the Chinese competition." And there are indeed a few who say this, but not as many as it might be reasonable to expect. …
This will no doubt look very peculiar to my seven-year-old granddaughter. I don't expect she will forgive me, but it might be useful for her to get a glimpse into the mindset, if only for the purposes of comprehension. What shall I tell her? Her teachers will already have explained that what was happening to the weather, in 2014, was an inconvenient truth, financially, politically—but that's perfectly obvious, even now. A global movement of the people might have forced it onto the political agenda, no matter the cost. What she will want to know is why this movement took so long to materialize. So I might say to her, look: the thing you have to appreciate is that we'd just been through a century of relativism and deconstruction, in which we were informed that most of our fondest-held principles were either uncertain or simple wishful thinking, and in many areas of our lives we had already been asked to accept that nothing is essential and everything changes—and this had taken the fight out of us somewhat."

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with single brain metastasis without other metastatic site have a better prognosis, and they need a better brain metastasis control. For non-resectable and non-radiosurgical brain metastasis, the gold standard treatment is whole-brain irradiation with 30 Gy in 10 fractions, but the local control is not achieved in most of the cases. This study investigate the possibility to increase radiation dose in this metastasis with exclusive hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy.
Radiation: hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Exclusive Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy in Non-resectable Single Brain Metastasis: Prospective Study
- feasibility [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Through this study we prospectively evaluate the alternative of performing exclusive hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for patients with single brain metastasis that is not eligible for surgery or radiosurgery, with a good prognosis for survival and lower risk of metachronous brain metastases, the primary objective being to verify whether the treatment is feasible in clinical practice.
- survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]As a secondary objective, we will evaluate local control, tumor reduction, quality of life, overall survival, whole-brain irradiation free survival and acute and late toxicities related to treatment.
|Study Start Date:
|July 2010
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|July 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Radiation: hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy
For the planning, patients will undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1.5 to 3 Tesla, with contrast and volumetric reconstruction of 1 mm and can be used MRI from the diagnosis of metastasis, if it is compatible with the planning system. Then, there will be individualized mask Mask Set for One Patient 41100 (BrainLAB AG, Heimstetten, Germany) for each patient. Patients will undergo computed tomography (CT) without contrast with 1-mm slices with tracking and stereotactic fixation. The images of MRI and CT are fused in the planning system IPLAN version 4.1 (BrainLAB AG, Heimstetten, Germany), where the plan will be implemented. The clinical target volume (CTV) is the macroscopic disease (GTV) displayed on the sign of T1 contrast. The planning target volume (PTV) is the CTV with 3-mm margin in all directions. Can be used multiple dynamic arcs, static conformal multiple fields, multiple static fields modulated and multiple static arcs. The dose-fractionation scheme will be 4 fractions of 7 Gy at the periphery of the PTV, a once daily on 4 consecutive working days. The dose to the PTV encompassing areas of the brainstem or optic tract will be reduced by 20%. The plans will be standardized at the isocenter. The isodose prescription will be the largest isodose that meets the following criteria: isodose covering at least 95% of the PTV with the prescription dose (V100 ≥ 95%) and 95% of prescription dose covering at least 99% of the PTV (V95 ≥ 99%). The maximum dose should be less than 35 Gy. The dose constraint reported by Ernst-Stecken et al will be respected at the expense of prescription isodose, where the normal brain volume (total brain volume less volume PTV) of 20 cc will not receive a dose of 4 Gy per fraction or larger, there is no maximum size limit of metastasis to be included in the study. Use as an index of compliance reported by the Paddick et al and Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). Tests will be done for collision safety tests and quality control to ensure the alignment of isocenters radiation, mechanical and coincidence of lasers (Winston-Lutz test). After all, the patients are treated with 6-MeV photons in the linear accelerator Varian Clinac 600 CD (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA, USA) with a system of "micromultileaf" m3 (BrainLAB AG, Heimstetten, Germany).

Electronic Signature Guidance for Forms 8878 and 8879
Electronic signatures appear in many forms, and may be created by many different technologies. No specific technology is required. Examples of currently acceptable electronic signature methods include:
• A handwritten signature input onto an electronic signature pad;
• A handwritten signature, mark or command input on a display screen by means of a stylus
• A digitized image of a handwritten signature that is attached to an electronic record;
• A typed name (e.g., typed at the end of an electronic record or typed into a signature block
on a website form by a signer);
• A shared secret (e.g., a secret code, password or PIN) used by a person to sign the
electronic record;
• A digital signature; or
• A mark captured as a scalable graphic.
The software must record the following data:
• Digital image of the signed form;
• Date and time of the signature;
• Taxpayer's computer IP address (Remote transaction only);
• Taxpayer's login identification - user name (Remote transaction only);
• Identity verification: taxpayer's knowledge based authentication passed results and for in
person transactions, confirmation that government picture identification has been verified;
• Method used to sign the record,(e.g., typed name); or a system log; or other audit trail that
reflects the completion of the electronic signature process by the signer.
Note: The ERO must provide this information upon request.
Identity Verification Requirements
The electronic signing process must be associated with a person, and accordingly, ensuring the validity of any electronically signed record begins with identification and authentication of the taxpayer. The electronic signature process must be able to generate evidence of the person the electronic form of signature belongs to, as well as generate evidence that the identified person is actually associated with the electronic record. If there is more than one taxpayer for the electronic record, the electronic signature process must be designed to separately identify and authenticate each taxpayer.
The identity verification requirements must be in accordance with National Institute of Standards and Technology, Special Publication 800-63, Electronic Authentication Guideline, Level 2 assurance level and knowledge based authentication or higher assurance level.
In-Person Transaction

Lesbian/Bi Celebrity Girlfriends, Part 2
Rena Brannan (wife of actress Sophie Ward)
UK actress Sophie Ward made big waves when she came out as a lesbian in December 1996, only two years after playing a married woman with children who falls in love with another woman in the television adaptation of Joanna Trollope's novel A Village Affair.
According to Ward's official website, soon after coming out she fell in love with Korean-American poet/writer Rena Brannan, "on Santa Monica Boulevard. Rena agreed to sell her pick-up truck and move to England and now she lives in Gloucestershire with Sophie and the boys and a hot water bottle."
Today, Ward and Brennan (who have been married for nine years), are recognized as a celebrity couple worthy of inclusion in a Valentine's Day article about relationships in The Independent.
Ward told The Independent back in 2006:
When I met Rena, we liked each other immediately. We're from very different backgrounds and there wasn't a chance we could get together at that time; it was impossible. But there was this chemistry and we eventually started working out how to be together. Although we are very, very different, we are the same age and have the same cultural references: books, films, plays, politics. We are also both very strong-willed but agreed early on that we would never pitch our wills against one another. She is very unpredictable and I'm still never sure what she would think about things, so I always want to know her opinion. She always has something interesting to contribute. Making love work is throwing your lot in with another.
Brennan elaborated on what makes their relationship work:
Initiative is really important. The sexiest thing on the planet is if your partner goes off and does something, without you having to say you'd like a box of chocolates. The desire to try to understand each other is still really great in both of us.
We are very, very passionate. We are not dramatic but we have a passion for communication and our relationship is definitely intense. It's like learning about someone for the whole of your life. It's like an art project.
After 10 years, we're still probably in the honeymoon period and I think it will be like that my whole life with Sophie.

So, after developing the tile engine and the underlying genetic algorithm, I started working on the story and Steven continued work on the procedural generation.
I also implemented a basic monster bug using A* path finding for AI. The turned out to be quite fun =)
I also tried to make the game resolution independent, so if you resize your browser window the game will scale correctly so you can see the entire map.

Imagine cleaning out your closets and finding something more than 100 years old that you never knew existed. That's exactly what happened to the Naval History and Heritage Command in Washington, D.C. Hidden on a closet shelf were two boxes filled with artifacts from the Spanish-American War. Federal News Radio Web Manager Julia Ziegler and Web Editor Michael O'Connell told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp about the glass plate photos found in the boxes.

Alcohol key in military fight against sexual assault
The Pentagon has released its annual report on sexual assault. The report, which includes a multi-faceted strategy to prevent sexual assault, indicates that alcohol often plays a significant role in the commission of sexual assault. The report says alcohol impairs one's ability to identify a sexual assault threat and is sometimes used as a tool to reduce the victim's resistance or totally incapacitate a victim. The strategy against sexual assault includes five elements: prevention, investigation, accountability, advocacy and assessment of the program.
Huge spike in reported military sexual assaults
Number of reported sexual assaults in the military rose 50 percent between 2012 and 2013. The Defense Department says it's confident the figure doesn't reflect more crimes, but that more victims are comfortable enough to come forward.
Roger Zakheim, Counsel, Covington and Burling
The House Armed Services Committee will soon mark up the National Defense Authorization Act. But all the subcommittee markups may be for nothing. The Obama Administration says it can't submit an Overseas Contingency Operation budget until it knows the results of the election in Afghanistan and some leaders in the House say the NDAA doesn't mean much without the OCO budget request. Roger Zakheim is counsel at Covington and Burling and former general counsel and deputy staff director of the House Armed Services Committee and former deputy assistant secretary of Defense. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose the next round of defense spending negotiations might not mean anything.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
Defense officials report an unprecedented increase in reported cases of sexual assault in the military during 2013. Those cases are up 50 percent more than the year before. Federal News Radio's DoD reporter Jared Serbu has more on what the Pentagon thinks the statistics mean. Read Federal News Radio's related article.
Industry Chatter: Beth McGrath and John Powers
The National Defense Authorization Act is almost ready for the full House Armed Services Committee to review. One certainty is that the final dollar total will be smaller than last year. The Pentagon will make many hard decisions in the coming years, but it will have data and other tools to help make those decisions. John Powers, principal at Deloitte and leader of its Mergers, Acquisitions and Restructuring practice, and Beth McGrath, director of Deloitte's federal practice and former deputy chief management officer and performance improvement officer at the Defense Department, were Francis Rose's guests for Industry Chatter.

Pentagon warns of security gaps in Afghanistan
The Department of Defense provided Congress on Wednesday the April 2014 "Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan". It says although the Afghani security forces continue to make progress, four key high-end capability gaps will remain after the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission ends on Dec. 31, 2014: air support, intelligence enterprise, special operations, and Afghan security ministry capacity. International funding and coalition force assistance will be critical to sustaining the force going forward.
DoD acquisition reform providing a few glimmers of progress
The 2009 reform aimed at ending the Pentagon's practice of overpromising the weapons systems it could deliver within the budgets it was asking for is showing signs of success. But DoD's acquisition chief says no amount of legislating will solve cost overruns.
Navy finds hidden treasure from Spanish-American War
Preparing for an office renovation, archivists at the Naval History and Heritage Command discover two wooden boxes filled with glass plate photos of the Spanish-American War.
Ben FitzGerald, Center for a New American Security
The National Defense Authorization Act for this year will include an increase for cyber operations. It's one of the few budget categories that will go up in the defense budget. Ben FitzGerald, a senior fellow and director of the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, is writing about potential models for success in cyber command and control structure.
Col. Mike Barron (Ret.), Military Officers Association of America
The first day of markups for the National Defense Authorization Act includes a big win for military personnel advocates but potentially a big swing and a miss too. The Personnel subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee rejects cuts to housing allowances...commissary funding and changes to TRICARE that would make some participants pay more themselves. The subcommittee didn't say anything about a 1 percent pay raise for troops for 2015 though. Retired Army Col. Mike Barron, deputy director of government relations at the Military Officers Association of America, shares his views on In Depth with Francis Rose.
Sgt. Maj. Ray Chandler, U.S. Army
The military has doubled-down on efforts to prevent sexual assault. They've labeled this month "Sexual Assault Awareness Month." It's a topic Sgt. Maj. of the Army Ray Chandler brings up whenever he visits soldiers. He says "Take back your Army" from those who commit sexual assault. Chandler told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp some of the most recent statistics about sexual assault in the Army.
Lt. Tim Hawkins, Spokesperson, Navy Submarine Force
A few hours change in sleep patterns might not seem like a big deal. But for members of the Navy's silent service, it could have major implications. The Navy has given commanders the green light to change submariners' sleep schedules, so that they more closely resemble life above the ocean's service. Now, sailors' work days will begin every 24 hours, instead of every 18 hours. Lt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for the submarine force, told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp what prompted the changes.
John Sopko, Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction
Corruption and instability in Afghanistan threaten to derail billions of dollars of U.S. aid. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction John Sopko recounts the problems in a new report to Congress. His team investigated $31 billion worth of programs and projects during the first three months of this year. Sopko told Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp some of the mistakes discovered through the report.
Dr. Maren Leed, Senior Adviser, CSIS
A few years after then-Defense secretary Robert Gates put the Marine Corps' variant of the F-35 fighter on "probation" because of poor performance, the Marine Corps is optimistic about the plane's future and the rest of the aviation portfolio. That's the message the service's top aviation official delivered to the Center For Strategic And International Studies yesterday. Dr. Maren Leed, senior adviser at CSIS, hosted the event. She tells Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu the Marine Corps' aviation programs are looking healthier than most other areas of weapon system acquisition in DoD.
Dr. Mica Endsley, Chief Scientist of the Air Force
The Air Force could be facing a perfect storm of personnel issues when it comes to scientific talent. It's hard to attract young scientists to government work over a higher paid industry job. Dr. Mica Endsley, chief scientist of the Air Force, tells In Depth with Francis Rose that as many senior officials seek early retirement, the Air Force is looking at a gap in its pipeline of future leaders in the science and engineering fields.
Jared Serbu, DoD Reporter, Federal News Radio
The Army broke ground last week on what will become the Defense Department's largest solar energy project ever. The Fort Huachuca, Ariz., solar project will provide the Army with renewable energy at no additional cost to the government. As Federal News Radio DoD Reporter Jared Serbu reports, the Army sets aside dozens of acres of southern Arizona land for the solar panels. In exchange for the land, a local utility company will build and operate them. Read Federal News Radio's related article.

SYDNEY: A black hole close to our Solar System spins at close to the maximum theoretical speed and has far-reaching implications for high-energy events in our universe, according to new U.S. study.
"We have measured the spin frequency of a famous black hole which goes by the name of GRS 1915+105," said Ramesh Narayan from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the U.S. "According to theory, it can have a maximum spin rate of 1,150 times per second. Our measurements indicate that the hole is spinning between 950 and 1,150 times per second – that is, it is spinning quite close to the maximum."
When any mass, such as a star, becomes more compact than a certain limit, its own gravity becomes so strong that the object collapses to a singular point called a black hole.
A black hole has so few properties that it is completely described by only two numbers: its mass and its spin. Astronomers have been successful in measuring the mass of about 30 black holes, but the second fundamental property has been much more elusive.
"It has been a major goal of the field to estimate black hole spins but nobody had succeeded until now," said Narayan, who is co-author of the paper published in the Astrophysical Journal."Our work is, for the first time, beginning to provide information on the spin distribution of real black holes in nature."
GRS 1915+105 lies in our galaxy, the Milky Way, approximately 35,000 light-years from Earth. Gas from a nearby orbital star gets pulled off by the immense gravitational field and spirals onto the black hole, forming a disc of gas around it.
As the gas spirals in towards the black hole, getting closer to the centre, it heats up to millions of degrees. At a certain distance from the centre, the gas becomes so hot that it begins to emit X-rays with only slightly less energy than gamma rays. The specific types of X-rays produced depend on how close the gas is to the centre.
According to general relativity, inside a certain radius the gas falls into the black hole much too quickly to radiate any energy. This critical radius depends on the black hole spin, so measuring the radius provides a direct estimate of the spin. The researchers measured the radius by analysing X-rays emitted using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite data.
"This result has major implications for … modelling possible sources of gamma-ray bursts, and for the detection of gravitational waves," Narayan said.
Gamma-ray bursts are short, powerful explosions, thought to be produced when the core of a star collapses into a black hole. For gamma-ray bursts to occur, a star would have to be spinning incredibly fast – fast enough for the remaining stellar materials to form a disc around the black hole.
Many astronomers doubted that these spin rates could be reached. This study confirms, for the first time, that these spin-rates are in fact possible. Accurate, measurable spin-rates of black holes are also crucial for the detection of gravitational waves.
Predicted by general relativity, gravitational waves are caused by the movement of massive bodies that disturb the space-time surrounding them, causing ripples of the waves to radiate outwards. Plans for a space-based antenna to detect these waves are being developed, and the antenna is expected to launch in 2015.
A major source of gravitational waves is the merging of two black holes, according to Narayan. The real values of spin provided by this study will significantly narrow the type of signals scientists will look for when trying to detect gravitational waves.

Tuesday's NFL trading deadline has come and passed with just a single trade made league wide. The Patriots acquired nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga and a 6th round draft pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 5th round draft pick.
Both draft picks are for the upcoming 2014 draft in May.
He signed a three-year contract worth $11 million this past offseason with Philadelphia. The Patriots will pick up the remainder of his deal.
Sopoaga is in his 10th season and was in his first with the Eagles. The 32 year-old linemen spent the majority of his career (2004-2012) anchoring the 49ers defensive front.
It was no secret that the Patriots needed to add defensive depth for the stretch run. Sopoaga will not only provide depth, but will instantaneously sure up the large void left in the middle of their defensive after Vince Wilfork went down with a torn Achilles tendon.
He projects to slot into their lineup as a starter and should provide solid defense against opponents rushing attacks. The Patriots have switched to a 3-4 defensive front, not by choice, but to compensate for an injury battered group. Sopoaga will in no way replace the Wilfork, though should play a key role in solidifying the position.
Chris Jones and Joe Vellano have been seeing the majority of the snaps at the tackle spot since losing Wilfork. The Patriots have been uncharacteristically allowing 156.5 rushing yards per game. Sopoaga will certainly help Bill Belichick's team improve in that area of play.
