Following a late-November date in Dubuque, Iowa, Minneapolis's Sam Keenan is returning home to play the 331 Club Wednesday night. Since releasing All the Dark Colored Markers Went Dry (Draw Fire) this spring, Keenan has played a diverse selection of shows in support of the album, including this Summer's Stone Arch Festival, Draw Fire Records' CMJ showcase in New York, and the Zombie Pub Crawl on the West Bank in October. Keenan recently challenged himself to the daunting task of writing and recording a new song each day throughout the entire month of November--an mp3 and accompanying lyrics for each song are available via Keenan's blog at SamKeenan.org, and those looking to hear more from this prolific, quirky indie rocker would do well to check it out. Offsetting Keenan's unusual bounce will be the unassuming acoustic melodies of local singer Molly Dean. The innocence of her sound reflects something of a bluesy neo-crooner, a perfect sound and style for the acoustic Northeast club.

Favourite other sports: I like boxing and I used to box a bit back home in Ireland. Davide [Petrucci] can box as well, but we've not had any scraps yet!
Music: I'll listen to anything, as long as it's not Heavy Metal or something like that.
Food: A lot of things! Nando's is my favourite.
TV: I bought all the Prison Break DVDs recently. I've really enjoyed that but I'm nearly finished so I'll have to find something else to take up my time.
Best mate at United: I've got two best mates, Conor Devlin and Scott Wootton.
Best trainer: Alberto [Massacci] is one of the new Italian lads and he puts it in every day, I've been impressed with him. Scott gives it his best every day too.
Worst: There are a few! Last year it was Conor, but he's improved a lot. I'll say Ravel Morrison. When he's on his game he's quality. But I reckon it's just when he fancies it!
Best dressed: Reece Brown has some good gear, I'm sure a few people have said that.
Worst dressed: All the Italian lads like to think they've got style, but I think it's only them that think so!

CHANDLER, Ariz. – The Rockford College baseball team won its first game of the year defeating the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford Panthers today, 16-9. The pitching for both teams dominated the early part of the game as there were only 2 hits combined in the first 3 innings. Then the offense took over for Rockford putting up 6 runs in the top of the 4th inning to give the Regents a comfortable 6-0 lead, but the Panthers answered with 3 runs in the bottom of the inning. The Regents subsequently added to their lead with 2 more runs in both the 5th and 6th innings and 1 run in the 7th inning. The University of Pittsburgh-Bradford cut the Regents 8 run lead down to 3, scoring 5 runs in the bottom of the eighth. As all good teams do, Rockford answered in the top of the 9th inning by scoring 5 runs and putting the game out of reach.
Senior Ben Korth (Freeport, Ill./Orangeville) picked up the win pitching 5 strong innings for the Regents. Korth gave up only 2 earned runs while striking out 2 on 84 pitches.
The Regents got numerous outstanding performances at the plate in today's game. Senior catcher Jordan Shaver (Davis Junction, Ill./ Rock Valley CC) provided some clutch hitting for Rockford. Shaver went 2-4 on the day with 5 runs batted in. He hit a 2-RBI single to center field in the 5th inning and a 2-out 2-run single to right center field in the 6th inning. Junior outfielder Curt Daughenbaugh (Dakota, Ill./Dakota) continued his red hot hitting going 2-4 with 2 walks and 2 runs batted in. Daughenbaugh is now 5-9 for the season. Freshman outfielder Matt Grimes (O'Fallon, Mo./Fort Zuwalt West) hit his first collegiate home run and the Regents first home run of the season to lead off the 7th inning. Through the first two games of the year, the Regents have scored 23 runs on 29 hits.
After an off day on Thursday, Rockford (1-1) will return to action on Friday March, 11th against St. Mary's University at 2:30 p.m. CST.

Thanks to the archival and digital work of Chris Mustazza, who is the editor of this new material, we at PennSound are now able to announce a new page of recordings of James Weldon Johnson. Most readers who might otherwise know Johnson's work well have never heard the man's voice. The recordings Chris located, researched and digitized were made on December 24, 1935, at Columbia University, recorded by Barnard professors George W. Hibbitt and W. Cabell Greet, lexicologists and scholars of American dialects. PennSound wishes to thank the staff at Columbia's Rare Book & Manuscript Library, especially Thai Jones, Jennifer Lee, Devon Maeve Nevola, Jane Siegel, and Karla Nielsen, for helping us to make these recordings available.We acknowledge permission from Jill Rosenberg Jones and the James Weldon Johnson estate to present these recordings for free to anyone.
"The recordings here were originally made on aluminum platters," writes Chris in his editorial note. "They were subsequently dubbed to reel-to-reel tapes by the Library of Congress in the 1970s. These digitizations are made from the reels, which are stored at Columbia University. I made the decision to present the recordings in the order in which Columbia numbered the aluminum platters, which may or may not be the same sequence used by Johnson and Hibbitt, except for where I reordered them to keep parts of the same poem together. Sequence numbers, as well as record numbers, are available in the file names."
I was honored to be asked by editor Oded Carmeli to choose fourteen poems published during the current decade by U.S poets for an anthology that has now been published in the most recent print issue of Hava LeHaba in Israel, a Hebrew-language magazine of experimental poetry and poetics. Click here to view a PDF copy of the relevant pages from the magazine. I wrote the following very brief prefatory statement:
Contemporary experimental poetry in the U.S. is so diverse in mode, tone, and conception that no introductory generalization will suffice. But having chosen fifteen poems I admire, all published in the current decade, I noticed post facto that they are all meta-poetic. Nada Gordon thieves Marianne Moore's anti-ars poetica. Susan Howe's "That This" presents, in part, the this-ness of the writing. Rae Armantrout's post-God/post-mother linguistic smiting reminds her and us that she owes her writing life to a mother who taught her to wring sweetness from syllables as a kind of maternal sacrifice. Tyrone Williams "scribbles furiously to a mortgaged future." Brenda Hillman's own words fall out of sentences when aerial bombs fall on their targets. And the poem I chose to represent Dorothea Lasky is itself titled "Ars Poetica." Poems about poetry need not indicate an escape from the world. On the contrary, these are mostly political poems—a language of politics and a politics of language. Laynie Browne gives us the real Hillary Clinton, lines Hillary would say, except that key words are left blank so that readers can be competent co-creators.
A NOTE ON PERMUTATIONAL ART. I am bringing in permutation, a math term, as a way of thinking about the biographical relation between the author and the work.
Multilingualism has long been a key characteristic, even a central tenet of literary experimentation. So maybe it seems a bit weird that after all these commentaries I still haven't found anything to say about the various streams of modernist literature that drew upon other languages. Why haven't I addressed T.S. Eliot's attempted reconstitution of the "mind of Europe"? What about Ezra Pound's (also attempted) translation of Chinese written characters? Or what about the less well known but no less multilingual Zurich Dada "nonsense" poems that drew upon anthropological works, using fragments and phrases from world Indigenous languages to inform their experiments in non-meaning?
Analyses of avant-garde or experimental poetry typically understand multilingualism as a part of the modernist dream of breaking with the past in order to prefigure an unforeseen but possible future.
In the newest issue of The Wallace Stevens Journal, a special issue (volume 38, number 2, dated Fall 2014) devoted to Helen Vendler's career-long interest in Stevens's poetry, an essay by me appears. Here is a link to a PDF copy of the piece.

Is he into her? When a guys signs off "talk to you soon"?
When a guy signs off an e-mail, is there any significance to "talk to you soon" or "take care"? What would be the difference here? What about if a guy talks to you about a future event a year off but doesn't seems to be initiating e-mails but always responds within a few days over a long period of time? Is he into her? Is he thinking friendship, potential long-term relationship, what?
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 1
"Talk to you soon" and "take care" don't mean anything. Just a way of ending the message.You say you send him emails and he responds... but he doesn't initiate anything. Sounds like he's just being polite and not interested in anything more than a friendship.You could just find out and just ask him if he would like to go out.

I know he probably likes the position but his touch and passing are not consistent enough to play there, he was awful again tonight. Kagawa is a number 10 and if we are going to play with someone in the role it should be him.
Been saying exact same thing for good while now as well if we had not got RvP I think saf would of put kagawa in the no10 role off Rooney as false no9 but RvP signing ended that plan. So clearly saf thinking about it before hand & saying after game kagawa should play no10. Rooney shouldn't be undroppable & kagawa better no10 then Rooney is IMO so he should be playing there instead of Wayne.
The team selection was odd, giggs cm, young lw, welbeck rw & Rooney off RvP? Couldn't understand any of those decisions I think giggs in cm was cos how bad clev & ando were last week that SAF picked 39 year old Ryan giggs play beside carrick. Shows lack of good quality in depth that we have in that area. Also I know harsh on clev goes played lw v Chelsea but he didnt play well which why I think saf picked giggs ahead of him, not saying saf got it right (well clearly he didnt) but think that's why giggs started. Doesn't explain why never subbed off though?
Our wingers be poor that young played lw which didn't shock me but why not let him go on RW & let welbeck play lw cutting in like did at Sunderland lose width on left but use width down right where were at our best? Young contribution to side is lacking cos to predictable with ball his biggest asset is that covers evra lack of wanting to get back into defence I can't be only person that noticed that when young plays lw evra stops caring about defending & jogs back cos he knows young do dirty work for him? That really pissed me off last night.
Welbeck isn't winger nor a RW at that. Saf saw performance at Chelsea & started him as result which is fine by me but feels like he was picking him cos last week but not to fit a certain system it felt kinda like he was thrown in at RW cos wingers being useless all season & you will do well there. well he played well but play better through middle as cf not on wing?
Team also set up wrong use no width & play deep defence & 2 banks of 4 that to far away from each other & don't press as unit or drop 2 banks 4 on to each other deep. Mcfc winner is case of yaya you're having all time in world pick out Kun in front of defence who then runs at heart of defence & scores a great goal. Feel for Jones he sells himself thinks kun about hit it & buys dummy & that gives him half yard he wants to hit the ball. His only mistake all game which is hard to take for him he was only player who was fired up all game as well IMO. As much as like Rio & played well this season you can tell why saf wants new cb & reason is guy like rio can't play high line as play deep but he struggles v player with pace &/or clever movement. He was caught out lot last night & jones covered him all game the only time he didnt was mcfc 2nd goal.
SAF use of his bench this season been baffling why wait so long to change game it's like his waiting for the side to do something positive before making any change & when he does subs come on to late what is chicha going to do from 82nd min onwards v mcfc side away from home who 2-1 up & happy sit deep & try hit us on break? Yeah he can grab a goal but at his best when game is stretched & he can run in behind the defence. Kagawa the same 92nd min sub I don't even know what was the point making that sub at that time is?
Mcfc better side they deserved the win so fair play to them. I thought that we better really up for this game but only time got going was when mcfc scored first which reminds me of start of season when just going through motions then let a goal in & kicked into life. Expect now at end of season & all players bar a couple are just mental shot. This season ending is very much like 06/07 to me the only difference is Ronaldo still able produce something out of nothing back then when the rest of side were all flat. RvP who was difference maker has hit the wall & as TC said got no support around him making it easier for him. As much as Toni being useless this season I thought when came on he taking on players & at least trying something which is his do e most/all of this season. Why not go with what we know & play this side v stoke this weekend? DdG rafael vida jones evra Toni carrick clev giggs kagawa RvP. What's wrong with that side? Anyway wouldn't shock me if we grind out wins scrappy wins till the end of the season as I don't see any great performances from us from here on out till next season.

Lord Bless All Lyrics - The Bee Gees
Lord bless all. Lord let all be blessed.
And when you sleep. London streets are silent.
All the world is full of song.
And when you have woken , after dawn has broken.
Snow filled fens will vaguely fill your eyes .
You'll be guided by good will.
Now the bells in your town are ringing .
Far away the joy of carols singing .
Bringing all a song to share.
Lord bless all. Lord let all be blessed
And when you sleep . London streets are silent

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) - Some rare butterflies are set to be released on an island in Biscayne National Park.
Researchers are scheduled to release some Schaus' swallowtail butterflies Monday on Elliot Key.
The butterflies are only found on one island in the park. In 2012, officials began a captive breeding program to help save the butterfly from extinction.
A similar program begun just before Hurricane Andrew swept away much of its habitat is credited with saving the butterfly once. Thousands were released, but the population dwindled over the next two decades. Only handfuls of Schaus swallowtails have been seen in the wild recently.
The Schaus swallowtail is large and yellow with a stained-glass pattern on its lower wings. It was once found from the Middle Keys north through Miami,

Space shuttle replacement delayed until 2014
NASA has put back the planned launch of its Orion spacecraft for a year, meaning the first test launch won't be until 2014 at the earliest. The agency's publicly-announced deadline set by Congress to conduct a first test launch of a manned Orion capsule was 2015. Internally, though, it was hoped to fast-track this to 2013 …
Apollo on steroids?
More like Apollo on pies judging by some of the fat bastards in the Orion interior illustrations.
Funny, I can't do me coat buttons up.
Picture and midgets..
Is that two configurations or two decks?
There seems to be a general requirement for carrying either two or four (configurations or decks respectively) midgets?
Apollo 1
Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in the Apollo 1 plugs-out test. Ed White was the first American to space-walk. Just thought I'd mention them in case we forget them. Grissom seems to be the only one mentioned when referring to Apollo 1, and I suspect that's because Gil Grissom was named after him.
And yes, we need an Astronaut in US Gubmint.
Giants and dwarves in space
Whats going on with sending giants and dwarfs into space...positive discrimination gone mad I tell you!
Future of space travel...
... is in the hands of the commercial sector (and probably the Chinese too). Forget NASA. They just seem to be going backwards, slowly. Apollo technology is hardly going to get us all zipping off to the stars as we dreamed we would be doing by now.
maybe a
second generation astronaut (privately) should run for President - Go on Lord (General) British ;)
Well lets face it he's a geek (a plus) and mental so he's be perfect for the job, can't screw it up any more than monkey boy
Paris for President
Then we wouldn't have Junior shooting his mouth off or Dick shooting his ol' hunting buddies, and the scariest thing the world would have to deal with coming out of the USA was Paris shooting the Easter bunnies.
And she like rockets too.
Too right!
So they're "criticising the Orion crew capsule for not putting safety features first". Can you blame them? Accoring to that picture, one unfortunate astronaut is going to have one of his crewmate's feet in his face all the way to the moon (or wherever).
Someones been watching too much Wall-E
that is all...
the cons
usually end up liking war machines and science research, they'll get lockhead and royce to build a shuttle
Family capsule?
Mum, Dad, and the two kids in one. The other seems to have room for Grandma and Grandpa, too.
Fat bastards, too.
Private industry is ahead
NASA after failing to develop a fully reusable space craft now they are going backwards. Look at how Space X is developing a fully reusable rocket at the fraction of the cost!
Fat Lego Astronauts?
This has to be the worst simulated Steroid Capsule I've ever seen. I know there's two levels- two folks at the controls, and four behind them, along for the ride. This Simu seems to show two Andre the Giants and four small people in the orbital version. The Lunar version has four astros on board (no one telling the Andres to stay home, to make room for more gear- would you?), more room to stretch your legs for the 2.5 days to lunar orbit, before you swap to the LEM on Human Growth Hormone (c) for the trip to the dust bowl.
Midget Astronauts not a bad idea
Midget astronauts are actually not a bad idea - smaller, lighter, use less food/air, produce less waste, just as smart and capable as "full-sized" people, or even "jumbo" people.
Besides, this is a good excuse to get rid of that insufferable wanker Vern Troyer - he should be the test pilot on the first flight. "Sit here, hold still, hold on, and don't touch anything. Screaming will do you no good at all, but it might make you feel better. Good luck."
Re: Fat Lego Astronauts
I'm sure someone could come up with a *much* more realistic Playmobil simulatiion.
Apollo, SpaceX, this, that, the other thing.
Re: Apollo on steroids: A lot of people make this comparison in error. Remember that, engineering and aerodynamics-wise, there's one certain set of shapes which are most efficient for reentry vehicles, of which the classic "cone" (Apollo) is one. You only need check out proposed manned reentry vehicles from ESA and the xUSSR:
And, here's some good old images depicting some early concepts for the original Apollo crew-return module from circa 1960ish:
They are _not_, in fact, using "Apollo-era technology", but are returning to a more efficient shape for a crew-return module. The underlying technology is "modern", but they're attempting to return to a launch vehicle/crew-return system which had been proven effective in the 1960s. We'd be in far better shape now, with a heavy-lift booster and crew-return capability as good or better than Soyuz, if we'd stuck with Saturn/Apollo and, as with Soyuz, continued to improve incrementally instead of chasing after the Holy Grail of a reusable boost-glide spaceplane which turned out to be an overpriced "flying brickyard" with all the attendant launch and heat-shielding issues that come with it -- not to mention not having a goddamn' _escape_system_, f'crissake.
Re: SpaceX: Would this be the same SpaceX whose boosters have been blowing up on a regular basis?
And, just to quickly wrap up, as I'm supposed to be working now:
...and never mind the concept art. Cool, dramatic lighting rendering, but it makes it look as if all the people at the base of the "crawler" should be praying to the rocket...
we need a moon base.
most of the weight of crafts leaving this fair planet is made up of the fuel needed to escape our heavy gravity and atmosphere.
if we can stop international conflicts (good luck with THAT one!) and redirect the OBSCENE amounts of money and efforts spent on killing our fellow man (miltary budgets), we could already BE on the moon exploring space from there.
just my 2p worth!
stuff and nonsense: http://www.eupeople.net/forum
A step backwards
Going from a reusable vehicle to a capsule... Is this the best NASA could come up with after so many years? I understand the need for simplicity and cost-cutting, but really? We won't truly be a "spacefaring" society until we have a vehicle that can take off from a runway, make it at least to orbit, and land without a parachute. But I understand--funding a useless war comes first. (not that there's much choice at this point)

And, we know why it all has to end in 2038 - that's when the 32-bit time_t's roll over and time goes back to January 1970. The circle is complete. Repeat until bored.
Missing the point...
why are we going there again when colonization is not the purpose of the mission? This is a waste of time. Even then, I'm against Moon colonization because overcolonization could end up screwing up Earth. Overcolonize Mars, and at worst it'll just de-orbit into the asteroid belt - no loss to Earth (at least in the short term).
Humor and worst-case-scenarios aside, this seems like either the stupidest idea the Bush administration could come up with (like a 90210 reunion - they couldn't come up with a new and better show?), or a cover story for some other mission (probably a top-secret or higher experiment). It costs too much to put people up there without some tangible benefit - "we made it there...again" does NOT count.
Unless they're hiding a huge, atmosphere-splitting UV laser in the non-returnable portion of the lunar lander. Or Google World's v2 spy camera.
Wouldn't that be our luck. The Georgian crisis expands into WW3, and the only sign left of our civilization after its destruction is a old lunar lander module with the Google logo on the side. </shakes head in dismay>
NASA is a political machine
The prime reason for having NASA in the 60s was because of the Cold War: to show superiority to the Russians. Science had very little to do with it. The Russians got sputnik up and the Americans had to do something far grander. The whole program of getting a man to the moon did inspire a nation (and take its mind off Vietnam), but once the first trip had happened interest dropped off rapidly.
The idea of colonising the moon or a planet is laughable. No matter how badly we screw up this planet it will always be a better starting point than trying to kickstart a habitable ecosystem elsewhere.
Re: we need a moon base
Just have to make sure that they don't store nuclear waste on the moon base, else risk the moon flying off round the universe ;)
@Charles Manning
The technology benefits of the Apollo programme and a lot of other aerospace research from the '50s and '60s are too numerous to list, although you might consider looking at what you're looking at to start with.
But the whole "lets go to the Moon, and then Mars" thing is merely Chimpface's desperate attempt to put himself in a better position in the history books. Expect it to be cancelled in the near future, and ongoing shuttle programmes to be revived out of necessity.
sure there away to nutralize nuclear waste with liquid nitrogen
We should probably use the EU vehicle, instead
Where was that picture that I saw....
...delayed until 2014
It's not being run by Arriva, is it?
Mine's the one with an Ian Allen combined volume in the pocket
Its so wrong for so many reasons
Couple of big things. As was mentioned before, we're currently - get this - going to rely on the Russians for the only Manned access to the International Space Station from Shuttle retirement 2010 till this thing gets up there? You know the guys that just invaded Georgia, cut off heating supplies to nations in the winter..that nation. Smart, not setting us for a problem there. This is so we don't have to spend money to keep the shuttle around til its replacement is working (which would seem to be the way you'd want to do things when you have a space station) - pennywise and pound foolish?
The design has been constantly fighting weight issues because Nasa wants to use a Shuttle Solid Rocket motor for its primary lift of this capsule - again for political budget reasons - but it doesn't provide enough lift. (There's two US vehicles that could solve that problem, but it would be a little more expensive - Delta IV Heavy (human rate this) or Atlas V Heavy - new development).
At this point it's actually looking to be Ocean recovery as the norm and Land recovery as an emergency measure - again because of weight issues because the political choice of the Solid Rocket Booster main stage doesn't provide enough oomph. Can you imagine - we're back to having sea sickness and vomit all over the place on virtually every mission (ask Apollo Astronauts). Expensive to do the sea recovery - that's for the future to pay for. Penny wise and Pound Foolish.
This program should be eliminated with the next Admin and started over from scratch with real long term goals and technology, not "what can the budget shoe horn in for us".
titanium alloy/reinfoced steel satalite/capsule hulls are non beneficial, reinforced fiber is 70% lighter with lower thermal\electrical conductivity and just as strong,
aerospace just needs the balls
Re: Former Astronaut As US Prez
Hate to break your hearts over there at El Reg, but I don't think that'd guarantee any positive change in space policy or any big-time revival of a US push to the Moon and/or Mars.
We've already had a couple of former astronauts in Congress: in the House Of Representatives, from Arizona, Harrison "Jack" Schmitt, Apollo 17 LMP; and in the Senate, from Ohio, John Glenn, Friendship 7 pilot and STS-95 Payload Specialist (or, some would say, simply "payload").

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ross gets his day in Court of Appeal
Brandon man fights 1995 fraud convictions
Deveryn Ross has always wanted another chance to go to court and prove his innocence. Now he'll get that chance in the highest court in the province.
Sources confirmed federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay will refer Ross's case back to the Manitoba Court of Appeal to review new evidence. It is the first time a Manitoban claiming innocence has had his case referred back to the appellate court.
"What this does is give me the opportunity to show that this isn't a guy trying to get off on a technicality," Ross said. "This is my opportunity to really get rid of the cloud."
Ross was convicted in 1995 of two counts of fraud in connection with a failed restaurant investment in Brandon. He spent five months in the Brandon Correctional Centre.
Ross's claim of wrongful conviction is supported by hundreds of pages of undisclosed evidence. These include documents from the Manitoba Securities Commission that show the Crown's two star witnesses -- mutual fund salesmen Sheldon Gray and William Knight -- admitted responsibility for many of the misdeeds that formed the charges against Ross.
There is also evidence the prosecutor was aware of the securities commission proceedings during Ross's trial, but failed to disclose that evidence to the defence.
Ross applied to Ottawa in 2004 for a review of his case under Sec. 696 of the Criminal Code, which allows the justice minister to quash a conviction if new evidence shows there is a "reasonable basis to conclude that a miscarriage of justice likely occurred."
A federal investigator completed a review of the case in 2009. His report confirmed Ross had been denied numerous key pieces of evidence.
Despite these findings, in 2010 then-justice minister Rob Nicholson denied Ross's application for a new trial, arguing the non-disclosure would not have affected the verdict. Believing Nicholson had ignored legal precedents and overstepped his authority under the Criminal Code, Ross and his lawyers decided to challenge the justice minister in Federal Court.
In a decision last month, Justice Richard Mosley soundly rebuked Nicholson for ignoring the standards for review under Sec. 696 and ordered Ottawa to reconsider the new evidence in Ross's application.
Although this was a victory for Ross, it was unclear how long MacKay would take to review the case a second time. To everyone's surprise, the Justice Department's criminal convictions review group notified Ross and his lawyers last week that MacKay had decided to send the case to the Manitoba Court of Appeal, just over a month after Mosley's decision.
It was unlikely, given the tone of the Federal Court decision, for MacKay to dismiss Ross's application outright.
Ross's lawyers had asked, on the strength of the new evidence, that the original conviction be quashed and that Manitoba be ordered to hold a new trial. That would have forced Manitoba Attorney General Andrew Swan to either stay charges, proceed with a second prosecution, or hold a hearing at which no evidence would be called, which would result in an acquittal.
It is, at this point, not clear what questions MacKay will put before the court. In every case where a federal justice minister has referred a 696 application to an appellate court, there have been specific questions attached. Those have not been provided to Ross's lawyers.
However, in almost all instances where Ottawa has asked an appellate court to weigh in, at the very least the original conviction was quashed.
In 1991, Ottawa referred David Milgaard's case to the Supreme Court of Canada to review new evidence. Following hearings, the high court recommended the federal justice minister quash Milgaard's conviction and directed Saskatchewan to hold a new trial. Saskatchewan declined to do so, entering a stay of proceedings.
Ross's lawyers believe this option, at minimum, is available to the Manitoba court. However, given the amount of time that has transpired and the fact several key witnesses have died, it is unlikely Manitoba would elect to proceed with a new trial, if asked.
In that scenario, the appellate court becomes even more important. A hearing before the Appeal Court is not a trial, but extraordinary hearings such as this will see many of the features of a trial: Evidence will be called, witnesses will testify and arguments will be made both for and against Ross's claims of innocence.
If nothing else, at that hearing, the public will learn for the first time the full extent of the new evidence. Even for laypersons, this should provide a full and clear picture of whether or not Ross received a fair trial and whether he should have been on trial at all.
After all is said and done, enlightenment is also an act of justice.

Renting an RV is one of the most economical and "Green" ways to vacation. By renting an RV, you can try various types and learn from experience which best suits your needs. It is also a great way to enjoy the flexibility, freedom, and discovery of the RV lifestyle without making a long term purchase commitment.
Reconnect with Your Family
Something happens when families spend time together. Bonds are built, secrets are shared, and memories are formed that last a lifetime. RV rentals offer families an affordable way to spend time together away from their overscheduled every day lives.
RV Vacations Save Money
You shouldn't have to spend a lot of money on your vacation. Renting an RV makes good economic sense.
Many RV models allow a family of four to save up to 57 percent on vacation costs over other forms of travel. Want to take your family of four to Orlando for a week? In a motorhome, that trip will cost 53 percent less than flying, renting a car, staying in a hotel, and eating out.
"Green" Vacationing
RVers are some of the "greenest" vacationers out there. Studies show that RV vacations have a lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions level than airline/rental car/motel or hotel vacations. Rent an RV and leave a smaller carbon footprint.
What Will You Discover?
A fun, flexible way to reconnect with your family without breaking the bank.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- Charges have officially been filed against a 48-year-old Fort Myers man accused of having more than 7,000 images of child pornography on a hard drive.
If convicted, Kevin Kaszynski faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison.
According to the criminal complaint, from April 2009 through June 2012, Kaszynski collected child pornography. While going through boxes that had been stored in a leased storage unit, Kaszynski's wife reportedly found a computer hard drive, among other items, belonging to her husband. On August 27, 2013, Kaszynski's wife accessed the hard drive and opened a file which depicted a prepubescent girl in a sexual pose. The hard drive was turned over to law enforcement for further investigation. On September 5, 2013, agents obtained a search warrant for the external hard drive. A forensic analysis of the external drive revealed more than 7,000 images and more than 400 videos depicting child pornography.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov.

Rock ClimbingThe routes at St. Non's Bay are strung along the length of its broad and are largely confined to seven separate walls or sub-bays. These are namely Velvet Wall, Corduroy Slab, Lunar Bay, Pinnacle Bay, Initiation Slabs, Good Friday Slab and Square Bay. Of these, Initiation Slabs is by far the best, having a good number of routes in a good number of grades. There are also good routes on the Velvet Wall and Square Bay.
Routes are listed from left to right, and are graded and rated with the aid of the Climbers Club Guide to Pembroke, the Pembroke Supplement and the new Rockfax Pembroke guide, so for full descriptions, please refer to these books. In addition to these sources, Rockfax's website has descriptions for the routes included in their book, which can be viewed on their online route Database.
Routes are rated using the British Adjectival Grading System. A conversion table of international climbing grades by SP member Corax is available: download it here. With the exception of Tenby South Beach Quarry, bolting is strictly prohibited everywhere in Pembroke, so don't even think about it here.
Route Symbols:
Velvet Wall
The Velvet Wall is on the far western side of the bay. Despite being located just under the coastal path, it is completely hidden from the surrounding area.
Corduroy Slab
Right (south-west) of the descent to Velvet Wall is a small square-cut bay. Another 30 metres or so to the right again is an east facing black striated slab, known for its deep cracks as Corduroy Slab. The base can be gained through easy scrambling at mid-tide.
Lunar Bay
This area can be found 200 metres east of the chapel and is beneath the highest point reached by the coastal path. It consists of three buttress, the most westerly of which is split by a fissure near its eastward tip and is known as Keyhole Buttress.
Pinnacle Bay
This is the buttress to the right (east) of Keyhole Buttress and is accessed by abseiling down said buttress.
Initiation Slabs
Initiation Slabs is located on the western side of a small zawn just to the west of the chapel. It's an idyllic little spot with some fantastic little routes. Access is gained by abseiling from one of two stakes. At high tide, hanging belays are a necessity.
Good Friday Slab
South of the zawn containing Red Admiral is a wide 15 metre high slab on the north side of a shallow, V-shaped zawn. Its base is accessible for two hours either side low tide.
Square Bay
This is the obvious rocky bay some 50 metres east of Initiation Slabs. Approach by scrambling down rocks on its western side, or better, by abseil.
Weather Conditions and Tides
Weather Forecast
This section displays the weather forecast for Solva, which is located to the south of St. Non's Bay. It isn't the closest settlement to the crag, that honour goes to the eponymous city of St. David's, unfortunately the tool for St. David's doesn't seem to work. Either way, this still gives a pretty good indication of what the weather will be like on the crag, as both Solva and St. Non's sit at around sea level.
Tide Times
Tide times can have a significant impact on where and when one climbs. It is therefore extremely important to check the timetables before embarking on trip to the area. UK tides information for all standard and secondary ports is provided by the UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO), and displayed on the BBC's website. The link below provides a link to the nearest monitoring station to St. Non's Bay:
When to Climb and Essential GearThe most reliable conditions are in the summer, but the low altitude of the crag may make it a viable option in winter. The gear needed depends entirely on the routes you plan to do. Easier routes will only require a moderate rack, while harder routes will require a something more comprehensive; a good compliment of friends or other camming devices will certainly help. A singe 50 metre rope should serve well on most easy routes, however, twin or double ropes would be a wise choice for the harder stuff. In addition to your usual gear, you might want to bring along an abseil rope to speed up access to the base of the crag.
Getting ThereAlthough there are a variety of ways to get to St. Non's Bay, which is located just the south of St. David's, most will probably be coming from the west. If so, when approaching from Carmarthen (SN 405 196) take the A40 Truck Road signposted for Saint Clears (SN 274 160). At the Saint Clears roundabout, continue along the A40 towards Haverfordwest (SM 962 158). Here you will need to leave the A40, take a short detour through the town, and take the smaller A487 which will signpost St. David's (SM 753 253).
Enter the city and continue to the 'roundabout' with a Celtic cross at its centre (SM 753 253). Take the first exit left, which is signposted to 'Porth-Clais 1.5 miles'. Follow this for around 200m and take the first left, which is signposted 'St. Non's Cahapel ¼ mile. Follow this and park at the free car park at St. Non's Retreat (SM 751 244). Walk down the path past the chapel and the well to the coastal path and take your pick of crags.
Red Tape and AccessNo red tape here!
Although unlikely it's worth checking the countryside access map provided by the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) regarding whether or not any restrictions on movement in the area are in place.
Countryside Access Map
Camping and AccommodationThere's an almost unlimited supply of accommodation within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park so it would be inappropriate to list it all here.

Sometimes it seems as if every time you open the door, there's another phone book. Some people still like the phone book, but how many do you really need?
Nick says he got four phone books last year. AT&T, YellowBook, User Friendly and the travel size copy.
Although you don't have to sign up to receive the book, you do need to sign up to "opt out" of automatic delivery by calling the company. Since there are several different phone book companies, it may take four or five calls to get the job done.
Luckily, finding the number is easy: it's in the book.

Hounds!!! Does anyone remember "La Choza?"
- r
- rhiannon Sep 26, 2001 04:44 PM
this was a mexican restaurant on paulina, not far from the howard el stop. it was run by a man named sylvester from oaxaca and had been around from the lates sixties at least (my parents were going there before i was born...) they had great kamoosh, steak oaxaca, orange soda in bottles, jolly ranchers on the way out, and a table top pac man in the side room. i grew up on that food since my parents would take my sister and i there monthly. we all miss it horribly...the closest thing that comes to it imo is nuevo leon, but it's not la choza. does anyone remember this slightly seedy but wonderful place??
re: el panzone
could you please add some details? i am not familiar with mini-max...hablas espanol?
re: rhiannon
Mini-max was a grocery store on Webster back when the area had yet to be yuppified. There was a little rest. in back and it was great. A definite chowhound find.
And yes, I sure do remember La Choza. It was my first Mexican food and we often used to go there almost every weekend. The price was right for still being in high school and it was BYOB, which was also just right for an early alcoholic start.
I fondly recall the kamoosh, the pollo en mole and the flautas. Thanks for the memories.
But does anyone recall La Siesta on Halsted. Man, they had the best salsa ever. I hear he owns a cuban? rest now? Any word fellow pups?
re: bryan
I remember La Choza every time I look down on it's old site from the el. It was the first Mexican food I ever ate anywhere. First salsa, first, flauta, first sight of refried beans or a beer with a lime in it. I was an undergrad at Northwestern and trips to Howard St. seemed vaguely dangerous - trips to La Choza also dangerous, but less vaguely so. There were several times that we'd arrive and find the place closed w/ health violation notices up. (And this was neither an era, nor a neighborhood where the health inspectors were particularly vigilant.) We'd always come back, but also joke about the suspicious absence of any stray dogs in the neighborhood.
re: el panzone
Boy, I remember mini-max, with the grocery store in front. I remember when webster really seemed like a tough street! The whole experience felt so adventurous, and the food was pretty good too. I especially remember the goey, messy, queso fundido.
I remember La Choza. Nice backyard and decent food but when they closed there were those dumb dog meat rumors that probably weren't true.
Rather than recommend Nuevo Leon which has been riding too long on the "real Mexican food" recommendation among gringos, I would suggest any La Condesa or Los Comales location in the city and for good homemade flour tortillas Polo on 18th street. My favorite place for Mex on 18th, though, is Carnitas Urupan (not far from Wood Street) where you can get great fresh tacos, fresh carnitas (for there and to take home) as well as a nice nopalito salad and cold jarritos. Get there early on weekends.
Yes. It didn't really stand up to another lost treasure from the mid-70's (probably before, but that's when I landed here) in the 500 block of N. State called La Posada del Rey, that had a nice dark little restaurant in front serving mole and other sauces not much seen, with a pool table and bar in the side room.
Good God, yes! Had my first-ever chile relleno there, and found out about many other things oaxaqeno (forgive the spelling if necessary!). It only FEELS as if it was a century ago! Have you tried Lupita's in Evanston, on Main just west of the CNW tracks? That's where I go when I cannot live one more hour without some really fine Mexican.
La Choza was great-especially kamoosh. La Siesta made nachos similar to kamoosh, now La Siesta is gone,too. Best nachos like Kamoosh are at Las Pinatas on Wells near North Ave. in Old Town. Will somebody please make a great kamoosh-like nacho and great enchiladas with mole sauce??? Mexican food in Chicago is turning into canned crap.
ohmygod. La Choza. Was anythng better? I went there every Friday--took my life in my hands getting there but it was worth it. My husband proposed to me there, and we've been married 29 years. We could never figure out how the waiters kept the orders straight--you'd have 3 different waiters bringing your food. My attitude towards kamoosh--after years and years of searching--get some good hearty, thick chips and try it at home.
Th Mini-max reference triggered some fond old memories. The restaurant portion was called "Tacos 'n' Things". Horrible name for a fantastic Mexican place. My wife and I went there many, many times during our dating years in the early '80's. And it didn't hurt that one of her best friends lived around the corner. We'd stop at the beer cooler on the way to the back of the store and pick out beverages and then get a table. Their queso fundido was fantastic.
Funny that this post would resurface after what -- 8 years. But, yes, La Choza was the best. And in the middle of "The Jonquil Jungle," a very unsafe, unsavory neighborhood. Many fond memories of great meals there. And I remember Sylvester as well.
I also remember a really good Italian place across the street. Outstanding salads. Anyone remember the name of that restaurant?
re: chicgail
That was Villa Girgenti you're thinking of. Their excellent thin crust pizza was served on rectangular baking sheets. Good beef sandwiches too.
re: uncartie
Yes! You don't happen to remember the name of the friendly middle-aged (I was pretty young so she seemed pretty old) waitress who seemed to know everyone and remember what they liked, do you?
re: chicgail
Nope. Sorry
re: chicgail
I waitressed at La Choza in the spring of 1970. Took the Evanston bus down from NU and back again on weekends, not really thinking of the neighborhood. The kitchen was about the size of my closet, but I must say that their food handling seemed safe - everything was cooked to order and went quickly. Ah, steak con rajas...
re: vezerne
Do you remember how they made the Kamoosh? I remember thinking it was great but can't remember what exactly it consisted of. Beans, avocado etc. It's just been too long.
Also, just saw a recipe for steak con rajas on Epicuriousif you are interested.
re: twodales
Chips, beans, shredded yellow cheese, then heated to melt. Then, guacamole and sour cream. This was in the days before nachos were a household word!
re: vezerne
Thanks vezerne for the refresher.
re: twodales
In 1970 the cook was still making her own tortilla chips, too. Salsa was made in a blender with canned tomatoes, I believe, some onions and some not too hot type of pepper in escabeche.
re: vezerne
That's probably why it was so good and here we are 40 years later remembering it with so much affection.
re: vezerne
If you can remember...I'm looking for the recipe for burrachosasand hilly billy chicken
Like a lot of you, La Choza is where I learned about Mexican food. I was just a kid, but my parents would make the excursion from Wilmette at least once a month. I remember the jokes about dogs when the health notices went up, the quicker pace to our walk from wherever we could find parking with my mom clutching her purse a little bit tighter than usual and, of course, the mole. To a kid, that was the strangest, coolest tasting sauce in the world!

November 27, 2014
A hot air balloon pilot walked away from a scare Tuesday night at the National Balloon Classic in Indianola, Iowa.
Jim Thomson of Des Moines was trying to land in a field when something went wrong and his balloon wound up tangled in power lines.
Firefighters and utility workers worked to get the errant craft out of the wires.
Witness Monty Beard said the pilot tried to, "steer away" from the wires but nothing seemed to work.
"Basically just all straight down," he said. "He started to turn the burners on. But it didn`t slow him down at all. Then when he hit the ground he just collapsed."
No one was hurt and the rest of the Balloon Classic moved ahead as scheduled.

The Farm Bill is the single-largest source of federal funding for conservation on private lands in our country. Initiatives like the Conservation Reserve Program, the Wetlands Reserve Program, and the Voluntary Public Access program encourage important habitat conservation and enhance sportsmen's access to great private land hunting and fishing opportunities. Renewed approximately every five years, political wrangling has allowed the 2008 Farm Bill to expire, leaving important conservation programs in limbo. This uncertainty occurs as crop prices, land values, and federal policy have combined to encourage the largest conversion of grassland and wetland acres in generations. The new Farm Bill has been in play for more than two years, and sportsmen and the habitats they depend on for quality days afield, need the legislation to cross the finish line soon.
The Agriculture and Wildlife Working Group, a coalition of representatives from the TRCP and the nation's leading conservation and sportsmen organizations, has been focused for more than two years on passing a new Farm Bill. The TRCP and our partners have prioritized three policy provisions for the 2013 Farm Bill, inclusion of a national Sodsaver policy that discourages the conversion of native prairie, the re-linking of conservation compliance with crop insurance, and a robust suite of effective and efficient conservation programs. Our strategy continues to meld direct advocacy, grassroots outreach, and media components to ensure that elected decision makers and impacted stakeholders like sportsmen realize just how important final passage of a Farm Bill is.
The AWWG continues to work with policymakers to ensure the 2013 Farm Bill maintains a proactive conservation title that delivers on-the-ground results. Given the tight budget, we'll be working to inform policymakers of the importance of funding for Farm Bill conservation programs. Every dollar put toward these programs is an important addition to fish and wildlife habitat around the country. The TRCP also will continue championing the VPA-HIP program and seeking to maintain funding for states to increase their access programs.

Rugby, England -- To celebrate Halloween, JK Lasers has cut a version of a traditional Halloween pumpkin using its 400W single-mode fibre laser (JK400FL).
The 17 cm sphere of 0.5-mm stainless steel was cut using a robot with a height sensing head to enable it to follow the 3D design.
In a straight line, this material can be processed at speeds of up to 20 m/min. 3D cutting, however, is slower due to the robotic equipment limitations and more complex shapes.
See the cutting action on JK Lasers' YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCMnPVb32UI&feature=youtu.be
