Wendy's could soon surpass Burger King as the nation's second-largest fast-food burger chain under a strategy that focuses on premium foods and restaurant makeovers, according to an analyst report released Tuesday.
"We expect Wendyâs to overtake privately-held Burger King for the number-two market-share position within the limited-service hamburger sector, perhaps as soon as this year," wrote Mark Kalinowski, an analyst with Janney Capital Markets, which has a buy rating on Wendy's.
The debut of contemporary prototype restaurants along with a continued focus on food quality are giving Wendy's the edge it needs to bump Burger King from its No. 2 spot, Kalinowski said during a phone interview Tuesday.
In 2010, Burger King's market share in the limited-service burger segment was 13.3 percent, while Wendy's share was 12.8 percent. Â McDonald's dominates the segment with a 49.5 percent share, according to the latest figures by Technomic, a market research firm in Chicago.
In terms of market-share, Wendy's and Burger King have always enjoyed a good rivalry. But, in the coming months, the two chains might finally flip-flop as Wendy's positions itself as a "cut above" rivals, rather than a "McDonald's clone,"Â Kalinowski said.
"We've never really seen Wendy's surpass Burger King before," Kalinowski said. "I think it will happen.">

Contacts:In Washington: Alejandra Viveros (202) firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, November 5, 2007 – Trade logistics, or the capacity to connect to international markets to ship goods, is critical for developing countries to improve their competitiveness, reap the benefits of globalization, and fight poverty more effectively in an increasingly integrated world, shows a new World Bank Group survey released today.
Connecting to Compete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy, a study based on a world survey of international freight forwarders and express carriers, indicates that facilitating the capacity to connect firms, suppliers and consumers, is crucial in a world where predictability and reliability are becoming even more important than costs.
"Being able to connect to global markets is fast becoming a key aspect of a country's capacity to compete, grow, attract investment, create jobs and reduce poverty," said Danny Leipziger, World Bank Vice-President for Poverty Reduction and Economic Management. "But for those unable to connect, the costs of exclusion are large and growing."
According to the study, which includes a Logistics Performance Index (LPI),1 Singapore, a major global transport and logistic hub, ranks first. At the other extreme are low-income countries, particularly those landlocked in Africa and Central Asia.
All developed countries turned out to be top performers –among the seven most industrialized nations, Germany ranks 3rd, Japan 6th, the U.K. 9th, Canada 10th, the U.S. 14th, France 18th, and Italy 22nd out of a total of 150 countries covered. There are also significant differences among developing countries with similar incomes. China and Chile, for instance, rank 30th and 32 respectively, while countries in higher income groups, such as oil producers, tend to perform below their potential.
"As a main driver of competitiveness, logistics can make you or break you as a country in today's globalized world," said Uri Dadush, World Bank Trade Director. "You can have very good customs, but poor performance in only one or two areas of the supply chain has serious repercussions in the country's economic performance creating a perception of unreliability."
Connecting to Compete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy, a study headed by World Bank economists Jean Francois Arvis and Monica Alina Mustra, provides concrete examples. A distant country like Chile can sell fresh fish and perishable fruits to consumers in Asia, Europe, and North America thanks to well functioning supply chains. On the other extreme, importing a 20-foot container from Shanghai to N'djamena, the capital city of the landlocked country of Chad, takes about ten weeks at a cost of $6,500, as compared to the four weeks and less than $3,000 that it takes a landlocked country in Western or Central Europe to make the same shipment.
Another finding of the survey is that developing countries where trade has been central to their economy, perform better than others with similar incomes. Examples include South Africa (24), Africa's top performer, Malaysia (27), Chile (32), and Turkey (34) among upper middle income countries; China (30) and Thailand (31) among the lower middle income, and India (39) and Vietnam (53) among the lower income.
In terms of how developing countries are doing per region, Korea (25) is the top performer from East Asia; Chile (32) from Latin America, followed by Argentina (45), and Mexico (56); India (39) from South Asia; Oman (48) from the Middle East; and Turkey (34) from Eastern Europe.
According toConnecting to Compete, success in improving logistics performance will also depend on the overall governance and institutional context. While solicitation of informal payments (e.g. bribes) is rare among the top 30 countries of the LPI, it turned out to be common among lower performers (about 50 percent of respondents.)
In addition, the study notes that individual reforms, such as customs modernization, need to be combined with improvements in all aspects of the supply chain. "Countries need to better coordinate border procedures with other agencies, improve telecommunications, information technology, physical infrastructure, and facilitate the functioning of competitive private services, such as trucking, customs brokering, and warehousing," said Arvis.
"A comprehensive reform of logistics and trade facilitation is essential to close the logistic gap," added Mustra. "There should be improvements in the markets for logistic services in order to reduce coordination failures, especially those attributed to public agencies active at the borders, and to build strong support for future change and economic development."

"only machine made for me"Good Days Churchill
This is the only machine made I smoke. It's a great choice when you don't have the time to sit and enjoy an hour long smoke.Dewayne in Arkansas October 29, 2011
"Great machine made cigar"Good Days Churchill
Best machine made cigar I have found, good size, quality & price. Largest size machine made cigar I could find. Secret for me is to remove wraper & let cigar dry out before smoking.Joe N in Linden, NJ September 9, 2011
"A pleasant surprise"Good Days Perfecto
I'd run low on heco a mano's and tried a box of these on a whim. The construction on the head is terrible, so I clip 'em. Out of the box they tasted like lightly mentholated cardboard, but after a few months unwrapped and held at 70 RH they present a light and powdery floral flavor that I find very pleasant. Excellent cigar when you're down with a cold and you need the comfort, but just can't handle that Indian Tabac Super Fuerte. Good in the parlor, lost out of doors.Rainman in Franklin MA June 17, 2011
"excellent value cigar"Good Days Perfecto
If you are forced to smoke 'inexpensive' cigars as I am, these cigars give great value for their cost.michael frysinger in virginia April 22, 2011
"just a nice everyday smoke"Good Days Robusto
When I first started developing a taste for cigars I went to my local tobacco shop with a walk in humidor. I bought a good days Churchill for $1.76, a three dollar cigar, a five dollar and an eight dollar cigar. I found that I preferred the good days. Now with my collection at over 700 I still find that the Good Days Perfecto is a nice 35 min walk with the dog, mild and tasty.Barry Sherwood in Bloomington MN January 14, 2011
"Gag me with a spoon"Previous
Initial sweet taste. Packed loose. Burns fast. Too hot. Tried as introductory cigars to new smokers but they did not like them. What the heck can I do with the rest of the box?Juan in Ohio September 24, 2010

EVERETT, WA – Everett Community College is renaming its Northlight Gallery in honor of artist Russell Day, EvCC's first art instructor and founder of the campus gallery.
The gallery was renamed Feb. 8 at a reception for Day, 95, and a group of his former art students. The announcement was a surprise to Day.
"The joy of teaching is what the students bring," Day said. "It's so wonderful the great things they could do – more than I was capable of. They were great people … and they still are."
The Russell Day Gallery is now hosting a special art and design showcase "Russell Day: Catalyst" through March 21 to honor Day's legacy. The show includes work by Day and 20 of his former students. The show includes a wide range of artworks, such as jewelry, architecture, paintings, drawings and several pieces artists are creating especially for the show.
An award-winning piece of jewelry created by Day will be included in the show and then put on permanent display in the gallery. A scholarship for Everett Community College art students has also been established in Day's name. To support the scholarship, contact the EvCC Foundation at 425-388-9948.
Day, who taught at Everett Junior College and Everett Community College from 1948 to 1974, "inspired generations of students to become artists," said EvCC art instructor Sandra Lepper, Director of the Russell Day Gallery.
Day, who created the first EJC art gallery in the 1950s, inspired many well-known artists including internationally known artist and photographer Chuck Close.

From the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
-- A pair of Harris' hawks, unlawfully captured in Texas and taken to North Carolina, have been treated to a plane ride back to their south Texas home, the culmination of nearly two months of effort that included law enforcement officers, raptor biologists and Delta Air Lines.
In October, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department received a tip about the birds through their Operation Game Thief wildlife crime stoppers program. State game wardens began investigating the case. By mid-November the tip led U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement Special Agents to a North Carolina suspect in possession of the hawks.
The birds, both juveniles, were taken to the Carolina Raptor Center in Huntersville, N.C., for treatment, rehabilitation and evaluation for release. The hawks are in good condition and readily retreat from humans, demonstrating that their ordeal has not habituated them.
Delta Air Lines provided transportation from Charlotte, N.C., to San Antonio, Texas, for the birds and their caretaker.
Amber Rosintoski, director of bird programming for the raptor center, accompanied the birds. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff escorted her to an area near where the birds were taken from the wild outside of Laredo, Texas.
Sometimes referred to as the "wolves of the sky," Harris' hawks are one of the few raptors to live in groups. Cooperative hunting allows these raptors to kill larger prey than a lone hawk and they can take down mammals the size of a jackrabbit. Their wingspan is three-and-a-half to four feet and they can weigh as much as four pounds each.
"This type of criminal activity and the abuse of wildlife cannot be tolerated," said James Gale, Resident Agent in Charge for the Southeast Region, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "Our special thanks to the dedicated Texas game wardens for their investigative work and to Delta for helping us return these proud raptors to their home."
The investigation into the capture of the hawks will be referred to the U.S. Attorney's office for prosecution. It's alleged that the Harris' hawks were trapped without the required state and federal permits.
"Since its inception in 1981, Operation Game Thief has fielded close to 28,000 phone tips, filed more than 9,000 cases with a 98 percent conviction rate, netted more than $1 million in fines, and paid rewards totaling more than $200,000," said Lt. Eric Howard of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who coordinates the OGT program. "This case shows how that benefits not only game animals, but also everything from birds of prey to endangered sea turtles."
Operation Game Thief is Texas' wildlife "crime-stoppers" program, operating a 24-hour, toll-free hotline to report crimes, 800-792-GAME. Rewards of up to $1,000 may be paid to callers, who may remain anonymous. Rewards and hotline operations are entirely funded with private donations. For more information, visit http://www.ogttx.com/.
The Carolina Raptor Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to environmental stewardship and the conservation of birds of prey through education, research, and the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned raptors. For more information or to make a donation, visit the center's website at http://www.carolinaraptorcenter.org/.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

Rag & Bone Launching Handbags for Fall 2012
By all accounts, Rag & Bone's Marcus Wainwright and David Neville have already built a strong accessories division within their brand. Their signature chunky-heeled Newbury booties sell out season after season, their straw fedoras can be spotted all over downton NYC each summer and their utilitarian belts can effortlessly toughen up any ho-hum slipdress. Now, Racked reports, they'll be adding handbags into the mix.
We remember spotting several models carrying boxy two-toned leather bags on Rag & Bone's Fall 2012 runway and hoping they'd make it to the sales floor. Given this news, that could well be the case. After all, the new carryalls are slated to ship along with the label's fall collection. We'll be interested to see whether the design duo chose to tweak their runway originals—and no matter what, we're pretty sure we'll be ordering one of these new bags for ourselves.

North Caldwell's Mandi Perlmutter Urges Residents to Phone Cong. Freylinghuysen to Support Expanded Gun Background Check
Tuesday, January 14, 2014 • 1:58pm
Content Options
Dear Editor:
West Essex area residents have been shaken by recent crimes in our area, several involving firearms. Message boards in the community have revealed fears that our neighborhoods are becoming more dangerous. Some residents have suggested that NJ's restrictive concealed carry permitting should be modified to make it easier for New Jerseyans to carry guns. Encouraging more guns is reactionary and dangerous; we must work to stop the import of guns used in crimes rather than add firearms to volatile situations.
As illegal guns continue to flood NJ streets, it is likely that we will feel the effects in our communities more and more frequently.
Many of us might disagree about what should be done to make our community, our state and our country safer from gun violence. However, we should all agree that illegal guns have no place on our streets and we need to do more to keep them out.
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, the US Congressman who represents the West Essex area, is one of six congressmen from NJ who has not supported the expanded background check bill currently pending in the House (legislation that would make it harder for illegal guns to be brought into our state). You can call Rep. Frelinghuysen at 202-225-5034 and tell him that you want him to do his part to make our community safer from illegal guns.
More information about gun reform efforts can be found at Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

October 6, 2009 3:15 by kippreport
The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that the H1N1 flu vaccine is the most important tool against the virus and has urged people to use it. Although mild side effects such as muscle cramps or headache can occur in some cases, WHO has said that the vaccine is safe.
"It is important to remember that the vaccines, which have already been approved, have been used for years and years and years in their seasonal vaccine formulation and have been shown to be among the safest vaccines that exist," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said on Tuesday. "We would hope that everyone who has a chance to get vaccinated does get vaccinated," he said.

Whatever WHO says, it is clear that unnecessary panic has been created. Natural remedies that have been used against the common cold and flu will work against any flu variant virus. Good and healthy eating habits are a must. If you take one Vitamin C effervesent tablet (diluted in water) every day during the winter will give you the required strength. And on the first signs of any cold or sore throat, one can take up to 6-8 panadols a day (in 3-4 doses) for 2-3 days.
We have naturally treated the flus and common winter colds in the last 8-10 years without antibiotics (or any vaccines) by using mainly natural remedies such as Ginger, Honey, Basil leaves (Tulsi) & Black Pepper (lemon grass leaves is an additional option) so even the use of Panadol was not required. Ayurvedic pharmacies also sell Chyawanprash, whose main constituent is Gooseberry, rich in Vitamin C. A spoon every day for youngsters followed by a glass of warm milk has been found to be very effective to build natural resistance to viruses. Important thing is: Dont Panic.

Sunday, May 31, 2009 - True To SizeFor a nylon trunk these are amazing in fit and moisture management. Fits well with the "Nut Buddy" (hard cup system) where extra protection is needed when playing sports.

Monday, April 06, 2009 - True To SizeLOVE these! Very soft, comfortable and supportive. Only drawback was the ventilation holes in the mesh; many of the holes in mine ran like pantyhose do (know what I mean?). I'm not fat by any means, just got a bit of booty! LOL Would still buy these again - LOVE THEM!

The Community Reinvestment Act is intended to encourage depository institutions to help meet the credit needs of the communities in which they operate, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. It was enacted by the Congress in 1977 (12 U.S.C. 2901) and is implemented by Regulation BB (12 CFR 228). The regulation was revised in May 1995.
The CRA requires that each depository institution's record in helping meet the credit needs of its entire community be evaluated periodically. That record is taken into account in considering an institution's application for deposit facilities.
A copy of an institution's CRA evaluation may be obtained directly from the institution or Reserve Bank.
Federal bank regulators use the following performance levels to rate an institution's performance under CRA:
O = Outstanding
S = Satisfactory
NI = Needs to improve
SN = Substantial noncompliance
The following state member banks have been examined and their CRA public evaluations are now available.

With camping season now fully underway but the economy struggling to get a grip, joblessness refusing to fall, campground prices reaching motel levels, and gas moving above three dollars again, you may be thinking about cutting back on your camping trips this season to save money. But, you might be able to find ways to stretch your camping dollar, do just as much camping as you would like to, while not breaking the recreational piggy bank. And . . . explore some places you haven't been to yet.
Some of the ways you can cut your camping expense are:
- Camp closer to home to save on fuel and to spend more time camping than driving to the campground.
- Keep your speed down to 55 mph to conserve fuel–10% to 15% savings from 65 mph.
- Search online for camping or boondocking possibilities in local, regional, and county parks, on public utility and water district lands, at fishing access points, fish and game department recreational areas, state parks, wildlife refuges, national grasslands, and at Bureau of Reclamation and Army Corps of Engineers properties that you may have previously overlooked.
- Pull out your maps and search online for national forests and BLM locations near your home that you haven't yet explored.
- Try boondocking to save on campground fees.
- Start camping in popular boondocking areas where there is help and advice if you need it.
- Remember that boondocking areas do not have advertising money to let you know they are there. You have to find them, but once you do, they become your secret campsites.
- Talk to other RVers about where they boondock–they might even reveal their secret camping spots.
- Make meal preparation a fun family activity by enlisting everyone's help.
- Take hikes and go birdwatching rather than go to expensive theme parks or other fee-charging activities.
- Cook fresh veggies as well as meat on the barbecue, rather than expensive pop-in-the-oven prepared or packaged meals.
- Turn your bathtub into a grape stomping pit to make your own wine. OK, maybe that one's a bit over the top.
There are many ways to save money and have fun also, if you unleash your creative genie. But if your creative genie is on strike, (here's the commercial) consider my helpful dirt-cheap, but loaded with info. ebooks : BOONDOCKING: Finding the Perfect Campsite on America's Public Lands, and 111Ways to Get the Biggest Bang for your RV Lifestyle Buck.

Not saying that's the case here, but there are certainly a huge amount of Amazon deals that have never been anywhere near their inflated RRPs.

Likely to be good quality for £50. I would be tempted if I didn't already buy an M Audio Q40 recently, which is currently £59 on eBay. Both are bass focused, so if you don't like bass, then look elsewhere.
I checked the usa model and this denon retails for $399 and the Q40 for $99

For that kind of listening in-ear headphones with decent noise cancellation do a much better job (you know, "Hell is other people") usually for less money/more discretely and the sound quality tends to be disappointing when using them for listening from other (better) sources.
Yet if looking like the proverbial Major Tom while listening (and sharing) bass heavy tracks with the rest of the carriage, where quantity definitely wins over quality, is what floats your boat then this set is for you. Horses for courses.

Leach's Storm Petrel Oceanodroma leucorhoa
Leach's storm petrel is silent at sea, but it makes a high-pitched purring sound, interrupted by sharp whistles, in and near its nest. Unlike Wilson's storm petrel, this species breeds in the Northern Hemisphere. It migrates southward in late summer, roaming throughout the north Pacific and much of the Atlantic. Small and brownish black, with a sharply forked tail, it flies rapidly, changing direction frequently as it scans the water's surface for food. It feeds on planktonic animals and small fish, pattering on the surface with its feet and occasionally settling on the water to rest. Leach's storm petrels breed in colonies, laying a single egg and returning to their burrows at night with food for their hatched young. In the far north, some birds delay nesting until August to avoid the 24-hour daylight of the Arctic summer, during which they would be more vulnerable to predators.

How two monkeys, two chimps and a robot made Mercury possible
Today, February 20th, is the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's orbital spaceflight. In 1961, Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth (three times!), which as far as I can tell, is why we're all taking the day off today. Such an achievement was one of the primary objectives of the Mercury Program, which preceded Gemini and Apollo.
While Glenn was most definitely the first American to orbit, his mission (Mercury-Atlas 6) was the twenty-first Mercury mission. Before NASA was ready to launch a human into space, it had to make sure that the rockets were safe, the space capsules were safe, and that space itself was safe (since we had no idea). And NASA had to be absolutely, positively sure, because if the agency got it wrong, it would have disastrous implications for the future of space exploration.
And so NASA tested everything out. Thoroughly. Before the agency ever sent a human to space, it had to get as close as it could get while not sending a human, and this means that the first American residents into space included two monkeys, two chimpanzees, and a robotic "crewman simulator." This is their story.
Many of the pictures in this post come from contemporary newspaper accounts via Google's newspaper archive, which you can access here.
The goal of the Mercury program was to put a human in orbit around the Earth, which is exactly what happened fifty years ago today. But the program itself began back in 1959, just a couple years after the Soviets launched the first satellite (Sputnik) and about the same time as the Soviet manned space program (Vostok) was getting underway.
Building The Rockets
We didn't have much to work with back in the late '50s: up until 1951, the United States was still using captured German V-2 rockets from World War II as research platforms, and it was only after we started physically running out of V-2s that the Army (this was before NASA) had to get serious about engineering some new hardware. Now, when we say "the Army," we're really talking about the Army's war prize, a German rocket design team, headed by Wernher von Braun. Using the V-2 as a template, the Germans created the Redstone, a surface-to-surface guided ballistic missile with a maximum range of about 200 miles. At the same time, the Air Force was working on their own "Americanized V-2," which came to be called the Atlas.
Neither of these programs was intended (at the start) to launch anything into space: in each case, the military was just looking for faster and more efficient methods of blowing things up far away. But by 1952, the National Advisory Committe on Aeronautics (the direct precursor to NASA) decided to make high speed and high altitude research a priority, and that meant both rocket-powered airplanes (most of the early X-planes got their start here) and, eventually, spacecraft.
The launch of Sputnik (humanity's first artificial satellite) by the Soviets on Aug. 26, 1957 really spurred things into high gear over here in the States, largely because nobody thought they'd actually be able to do it, and the achievement made it clear that the Soviets were substantially ahead of the U.S. when it came to both space technology and (more worryingly at the time) long-range ballistic missile technology. Embarrassed and a little freaked out, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act into law in July of 1958, and the newly-formed NASA wasted no time in outlining a plan to "at the earliest practicable date orbital flight and successful recovery of a manned satellite, and to investigate the capabilities of man in this environment."
It's important to stress how little was known about space and space travel at this point. There were real concerns about whether humans could function and survive in prolonged microgravity. For example, would humans be able to see? Breathe? Swallow? Would the radiation be too severe? And even the stuff that was known — that humans would need an air supply and a pressure suit and such — were still problems that needed to be tackled in the form of a space capsule. After much deliberation, NASA decided to let McDonnell Aircraft Corporation have a crack at the overall capsule design.
As far as the launching system, both Redstone and Atlas were ready to fly, but at $1 million and $2.5 million respectively, NASA couldn't afford to just launch them willy-nilly. Instead, it cobbled a bunch of solid rocket boosters together into a much bigger booster called "Little Joe," which could carry 4,000 pounds up over 100 miles high. At only $200,000 a pop, Little Joe rockets would form the backbone of the initial Mercury launch tests.

Seeing as launching people on top of rockets was a brand new thing, one of NASA's priorities was to come up with a working escape system, and the first five launches of the Mercury program were largely devoted to making sure that this system (a top-mounted rocket that could pull the capsule clear in the event of a booster failure) worked like it was supposed to. Launch number six (aka "Little Joe 2") would be the first high-powered flight, and it would also be the first flight with a passenger inside the Mercury capsule: a little monkey named Sam.
Sam, a seven-pound, 30-month-old rhesus monkey came from the School of Aviation Medicine (get it?) in San Antonio, Texas. Before launch, Sam was acclimated to his launching system (a form-fitting acceleration couch made of foam), and trained to respond to a flashing red light by moving a lever similar to an airplane stick, the idea being to test whether or not he could perform basic tasks in microgravity. Sam was also wired up from head to toe with sensors to track his temperature, breathing and heart rate. And for what it's worth, Sam wasn't alone in his capsule: along with him were packets of barley seeds, nerve cells from rats and other tissue cultures, and insects, since military physicians wanted to see how weightlessness and radiation effected things like reproductive capacity.
The Little Joe rocket with Sam on board lifted off on Dec. 4, 1959, with Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom in attendance, understandably interested to see how well Sam would be able to handle weightlessness. The launch was flawless, and when the booster burned itself out at about 100,000 feet, the Mercury escape rocket fired as planned, boosting the capsule up to about 280,000 feet (53 miles). Sam experienced three minutes of weightlessness before the capsule reentered the atmosphere. 40 minutes after launch, Sam splashed down in the Atlantic.
It took six hours for a destroyer to find the Mercury capsule (floating 120 miles off the North Carolina coast) and get Sam out, but the monkey seemed no worse for wear. Reportedly, Sam "nibbled parts of an apple and an orange," "drank a little water," and "scratched himself vigorously." Impressed, the crew of the destroyer named him an honorary destroyermonkey right then and there. Later testing showed that Sam really was just fine, and to prove it, he went on to live until 1982 in retirement at a training colony.
Miss Sam, The Other Monkey
While Sam's flight had been an overall success, the test of the escape rocket hadn't been performed under what's called "max Q," which is the point at which a vehicle (like a rocket) experiences maximum stress. The escape system had to be relied on to work under the worst possible conditions, which meant another test, and another monkey passenger to make sure that an astronaut would be able to survive such a situation.
The second Mercury monkey was Sam's friend, named Miss Sam. Miss Sam's flight would be much shorter than Sam's, but also much more violent: the forces she would experience when the capsule ejected from the booster at max Q would be severe. Like Sam, Miss Sam was trained to pull a lever in response to a flashing light, and as the Little Joe rocket accelerated to 2,000 miles per hour after launch, she was doing fine. As the escape rocket fired, though, Miss Sam completely stopped responding for a period of about 30 seconds, suggesting that she'd been shaken up fairly badly. She seemed to recover, fortunately, and after a fast retrieval (just 45 minutes from launch to having her back on land), she was pronounced "frisky and full of the old Nick" (whatever that means) and had a big lunch of crackers and apples.
We should mention that neither Sam nor Miss Sam had to endure any more rocket rides. In fact, they were mated to each other to see if their offspring showed any long-term genetic repercussions from their parent's space travel, and so far, so good.
Up until this point, the Mercury flight tests had been conducted primarily with Little Joe rockets, but things were seeming to start to work together and it was time to kick it up a notch and start making tests with the more expensive (and more powerful) Redstone boosters as well as the much more expensive (and much more powerful) Atlas boosters. The first successful flight of a Mercury-Redstone took place in December of 1960, about a month after a comically short unsuccessful flight (the rocket lifted off a total of four inches) caused by an electrical malfunction.
Mercury-Redstone 2 was intended to be the final flight required to "man-rate" the capsule and launch vehicle, and the only way to do that was to send up something else alive. This meant another monkey, or more accurately, a chimpanzee. Chimps are large enough and intelligent enough to mimic human behavior, they have about the same reaction times as humans, their organ placement is the same, and there's a long medical research background on them, making them ideal proxies for astronauts.
Six "astrochimps" (as they were known) were brought to Cape Canaveral from Holloman Aerospace Medical Center in New Mexico to prepare for the MR-2 mission. The chimps were trained in Mercury capsule simulators to perform similar tasks to Sam and Miss Sam: pulling levers in response to flashing lights. Specifically, the chimps had both continuous and discrete tasks to perform: one lever had to be pushed every 15 seconds, while another lever had to be pushed within five seconds when a blue light came on, which happened about once every two minutes. After three weeks of work (the chimps got banana pellets for success and mild electrical shocks on the bottom of their feet if they failed), the astrochimps were bored, well-fed, lever-pulling experts.
Ham The "Astrochimp"
One of these chimps was named Ham (guess where he got that name from). Ham had been born in Cameroon, captured by animal trappers, and sent to Florida, where his handlers called him Chop Chop Chang. When he entered the astrochimp program, he was known officially as No. 65, since NASA didn't want to publicly announce his name in the event that something went wrong. Ham was three years old at the time of the MR-2 mission, and the morning of the launch, he was "exceptionally frisky and in good humor," which is why he was chosen to go.
A few hours before launch, Ham was fitted with sensors, put into a space suit, and set up in his own little acceleration couch inside a pressurized cabin. This "biopack" was placed inside the Mercury capsule at 7:53am on Jan. 31, 1961. A series of complications resulted in a delay of almost four hours (which Ham gamely waited out inside the capsule), but five minutes before noon, the MR-2 Redstone ignited and Ham lifted off towards space.
Almost immediately, things started to go wrong. The flight path angle began to rise, and low fuel pressure caused the capsule to separate from the booster earlier than planned, triggering the escape rocket, which boosted the capsule's speed to 5,800 mph instead of the planned 4,400 mph (putting about 18 g on Ham). Because of the extra thrust, the capsule reached almost 160 miles of altitude instead of 115. And two minutes into the flight, the pressure in the Mercury capsule lost cabin pressure completely. Fortunately, Ham was well-protected inside his capsule and space suit, which kept pressure and temperature comfortable.
The increased speed and higher altitude of MR-2 meant that Ham would land long, outside of the immediate recovery area, and when the abort rocket fired, the retrorocket pack (that would have slowed the capsule down before reentry) jettisoned prematurely, meaning that the forces on reentry would be more severe. Ham experienced nearly 15 g on the way back down to Earth, a full 3 g more than he was supposed to. When the capsule splashed down into the water, the same issue that let all the air pressure out in space started to let water in, and by the time a helicopter managed to get to it, The Mercury capsule had taken on 800 pounds of seawater and was nearly submerged.
Despite all of these problems, Ham made it through in good condition. He was dehydrated, and his nose was bruised, and according to one observer he was crying while crewmen on the recovery ship worked to get him out of the capsule, but but he seemed happy to be home, accepting an apple and a banana (which hadn't been allowed pre-mission) and shaking hands with the commander of the recovery ship. It was only five days later at a press conference that Ham revealed how unpleasant his trip had been: "the normally cheerful chimp balked, screeched and hugged his handler's neck when two veterinarians tried to insert him into a metal couch similar to the one he rode on his daring space flight. The handlers finally gave up, and Ham resumed clowning and mugging for the... cameramen and reporters." Clearly, Ham had had enough of that sort of thing.
After a bunch more medical testing (and a standby slot on one more mission) Ham was sent to the National Zoo, and then to the North Carolina Zoo, where he died in 1983. The Smithsonian Institution put his body into a Dermestid beetle colony, and the bugs ate all of the soft tissue, leaving just Ham's skeleton. The skeleton was given to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (where it still is), and the leftover bits were buried at the International Space Hall of Fame in New Mexico.
Ham's flight proved that it would be possible for a human to survive being launched into space, perform tasks while weightless, and land safely. But the MR-2 flight was by no means smooth, and while an astronaut probably would have come through it just as well as Ham had, NASA was still not ready to call its capsule "man-rated," primarily because of its lack of faith in the reliability of the Redstone and Atlas boosters. It scheduled an interim Redstone test for March of 1961 to try and fix the problems, and that seemed to work, meaning that the first manned launch could at last be scheduled with confidence.
But, it was too late to beat the Soviets. On April 12, the USSR launched Vostok 1, and Yuri Gagarin became the first man not just in space, but also the first man to orbit the Earth. The Vostok capsule was huge, weighing over 10,000 pounds, three times more than the Mercury capsules, and it traveled higher and faster in its single orbit than Mercury planned to. Americans (including Congress) were not pleased.
There was still some hope that it might be possible to orbit an American two or three times around the Earth to sort of do something more impressive than the Soviets had done, but the first step was still to get a human into space on a rocket, period. That happened on May 5, when Alan Shepard became the first American to make a suborbital flight into space. The Mercury-Redstone vehicle flew like a champ, and the 15-minute flight took Shepard up to 116 miles. Gus Grissom made a similar flight two months later using a Redstone booster, but in order to make it into orbit, it was time to upgrade to the Atlas.
But again, it was too late to beat the Soviets. Cosmonaut Gherman Titov in Vostok 2 spent an entire day in space from August 7 to August 8, completing 17 orbits. NASA scrapped the idea of any more suborbital flights, and began to focus on man-rating the Mercury-Atlas combination. Before even sending a chimpanzee into orbit, NASA decided to try the spacecraft out with a robotic "crewman simulator" instead.
Robonaut's Distant Ancestor
We probably wouldn't call this "crewman simulator" a robot today, but it was intended to do just about everything a human would do short of controlling the spacecraft itself. It breathed, turning oxygen into carbon dioxide and water at a rate similar to a human. It created a human-like body temperature. And thanks to a couple tape recorders, NASA could carry on a conversation (or at least hear what it was saying) from the ground. The flight was a success, showing that we had the capacity to get a human into orbit, keep them alive, and bring them back safely. The only question now was whether the next Mercury orbital flight would carry a man or a chimpanzee.
NASA felt that while a robot proving that a single orbit flight was possible was all well and good, it was necessary to do a full three-orbit flight with a chimp before sending a human up for a similar mission. Or at least, some people at NASA felt that way. There was a lot of pressure to get an American into orbit as quickly as possible, but around that time was the first test of the mighty Saturn I rocket in October of 1961, which handily distracted the public from Mercury (at least for a little bit) and the Mercury-Atlas 5 mission could continue with a chimp aboard as planned.
Enos, Who Paved The Way
The chimp selected for the MA-5 mission was named Enos, which is the
Greek Hebrew word for "man." Enos, who came from Cameroon, was described by the chief veterinarian on the mission as "quite a cool guy and not the performing type at all," in contrast to many of the other chimps in the program, who had circus training. Like Ham, Enos would have work to do while in orbit, but compared to Enos, Ham had it easy. Enos would have to master four separate lever and light problems of increasing complexity:
"Problem one would offer right- and left-hand levers that Enos could use to turn off lights, avoiding a mild shock in the left foot (the same as for Ham). The second problem planned was a delayed-response experiment. Twenty seconds after a green light would appear on the panel, Enos would have to press a lever to receive a drink of water. Although there would be no penalty for his failure to respond, if the chimpanzee should pull the lever too early the problem would simply recycle and he would receive nothing. The third, a fixed-ratio problem, would involve pulling a lever exactly 50 times to receive a banana pellet. This would also be voluntary and without penalty. Chimpanzee intelligence would be tested in the fourth. Three symbols - circles, triangles, and squares - would appear in various two-of-a-kind combinations, with the task being to pull a lever under the odd symbol to avoid a mild shock. Lack of response during rest periods would give the indication that the animal was well oriented to his spacecraft environment."
Enos was put into his spacesuit and acceleration couch on Nov. 29, 1961. The countdown was uneventful except for an incorrectly positioned switch in the cockpit of the capsule that someone had to open the hatch to go fix, and some people in mission control joked that Enos had talked to Ham and flipped the switch himself because he didn't want to go. But go he did, surviving the seven or eight gees of acceleration with no trouble at all. The Atlas booster behaved itself, and after a good orbital insertion, Enos had a couple hours in which to work his control panel. He did very well, except for the fourth problem (the one with the symbols), where a malfunction caused the levers to give out shocks even when the chimp gave the right answer. Poor Enos gave himself about 40 shocks in a row during these test sessions, but he still kept on doing his job. Most importantly, he was eating and drinking freely, proving that it was possible to swallow in space.
The Mercury capsule was brought back to Earth after two orbits instead of three due to some thruster malfunctions which caused the capsule to lose attitude control, but NASA felt that if an astronaut had been aboard, they would have been able to compensate by hand and continue the mission.
When Enos was brought out onto the deck of the recovery ship, he reportedly jumped for joy and ran around shaking everyone's hand and then devoured two apples and two oranges, his first fresh food since he'd been put on a low-residue diet of pellets to prepare him for launch. Enos didn't have the same gregarious temperament as Ham, though, and he remained shy and quiet in front of reporters, and in any case, since the next mission promised to have a human on board, Enos' achievement was to be rapidly eclipsed. He retired to Holloman Air Force Base (along with Ham and the rest of the space monkeys), and died from dysentery in 1962.
A Manned Future
Enos and Mercury-Atlas 5 served as a dress-rehearsal for the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, which took John Glenn into orbit fifty years ago today. The MA-6 launch went flawlessly, but after just one orbit, Glenn's spacecraft began to yaw to the right due to a faulty reaction jet. It was just this sort of problem that had forced NASA to end Enos' mission early, so this was the big moment: would a human astronaut be able to do what monkeys, robots and apes could not? Could Glenn use his training and experience to take over from automatic systems and justify the effort of making the space program all about humans? A newspaper article just before the mission summed it up thusly:
"If Marine Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr, 'flying' a Mercury satellite in orbit, does better than Enos the chimpanzee did last November, man will play a more important role in the trip to the Moon, in space exploration generally and in future military operations in nearby space.
If Glen does not perform as well as Enos, then the scientists who favor machines over men may win their point. Man may turn out to be little more than a 'big white rabbit' on space trips. He'll be carried along for the ride while electronic gadgets do the seeing, the 'thinking,' the guiding and the work.
The betting at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration right now is that man- that is Glenn- will win out during the orbital trip today.
But there is a strong group of scientists at the Pentagon and at NASA who feel that man is too slow, unreliable and inefficient. They believe automated equipment should do all the work and that if man is along he should be kept out of the way."
The answer, of course, was a resounding yes. Humans were worth it. Glenn performed brilliantly, and he was able to successfully pilot the capsule by hand, something that neither Enos nor any automatic system was capable of at the time. He completed three orbits, and returned to Earth to a hero's welcome.
This was not the end of the Mercury program. There were three more Mercury-Atlas launches all the way through May of 1963, sending up Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, and finally Gordon Cooper for 22 orbits. In May of 1961, President Kennedy Apollo program to take us to the moon, and up through December of that year, the follow-up the Mercury program was still being called Mercury Mark II. But in January, it was re-christened as Project Gemini, and over the next five years, Gemini would lead us to Apollo and the moon.

U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature For March 17
WASHINGTON, March 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America — Sunday, March 17th. This is a day when people of all ethnicities are cheerfully encouraged to wear something green. It is St. Patrick's Day, a rare national holiday observed outside its native land. The day honors Bishop Patrick, born in England, who brought Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century, using a shamrock to illustrate divinity. The celebration here goes back to colonial times. New York City's parade has taken place every year since 1762. The greatest number of Irish immigrants arrived in the U.S. in the middle of the 19th century, when the home country was reeling from the potato famine. Now, nearly 35 million Americans claim Irish descent, more than seven times the population of Ireland itself.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - On the minds of many around the holidays are the brave men and women who have served our country.
This afternoon, the Patriot Guard Riders helped to lead a ceremony at the East Tennessee State Veteran's Cemetery to remember the fallen heroes. Many laid wreaths at hundreds of grave sites.
There are also seven ceremonial wreaths for each branch of the military.
For Ryan McGrew, this is his first Christmas without his grandfather, Korean War veteran Jeff Davis.
"It's tough. For me, to think about all the people that have served and gave their lives for this country, we're forever indebted to those people," said McGrew.
Wreaths Across America is expected to place 400,000 wreaths across the country.

As if dating wasn't hard enough – you throw in a portable, typed-word machine and suddenly it's pandemonium. Tones, intentions, invitations all get jumbled in this lawless land of shorthand communication. Suddenly the guy you're dating's "C u later" message means he's dumping you when he really just wanted to let you know he'd see you at 8p.m. for Chinese food.
Oh texting, how you make things much, much more complicated than they have any right to be. I can't tell you the hours my friends and I have spent reciting, decrypting, bemoaning, and conjuring up an honors thesis on a five-word text message.
Personally, I don't like to be too harsh a judge on a guy's texting style if I don't really him. Everyone has their faults, after all. But there are some serious warning signs in the form of text messages. Below, the types of texters who warrant anything from healthy skepticism to restraining orders: Keep reading »
