Rilo Kiley's latest never leaked, but it did start streaming over at MySpace today. So fire up those blogging fingers. We haven't spent too much time with Blacklight just yet, but we hear some Rabbit Fur Coat in "Silver Lining," some disco in "The Moneymaker," and a lotta Fleetwood Mac (in a good way) in "Dreamworld." The title track's hooky chorus is a highlight, but "15″'s satiric sleaze is not working. Take a listen for yourself. We're ready for you to shout out in the comments how much you hate change and how lucky Johnathan Rice is.

McIntyre's Books Author Events
2 p.m. | McIntyre's Books
As a longtime leader of the Democratic Party and key member of Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, Josephus Daniels was one of the most influential progressive politicians in the country, and as secretary of the navy during the First World War, he became one of the most important men in the world. Before that, Daniels revolutionized the newspaper industry in the South, forever changing the relationship between politics and the news media. Lee A. Craig, an expert on economic history, delves into Daniels's extensive archive to inform this nuanced and eminently readable biography, following Daniels's rise to power in North Carolina and chronicling his influence on twentieth-century politics.
A man of great contradictions, Daniels–an ardent prohibitionist, free trader, and Free Silverite–made a fortune in private industry yet served as a persistent critic of unregulated capitalism. He championed progressive causes like the graded public school movement and antitrust laws even as he led North Carolina's white supremacy movement. Craig pulls no punches in his definitive biography of this political powerhouse.
Lee A. Craig is Alumni Distinguished Professor at North Carolina State University. He is author of six books and numerous scholarly articles, essays, and reviews on U.S. and European economic history.
Why get away when everyone else does? Enjoy the Inn's award-winning service and cuisine and stunning gardens, Mon-Thurs. Includes overnight stay, afternoon tea and full breakfast, and a $50 credit per person for dinner at The Fearrington Granary. Starts at $375.

Zong Becomes First Mobile Payment Provider To Test Integration With Facebook Credits
While much of the U.S. uses credit cards to make online purchases, many other countries still don't have easy services for making online transactions. Mobile transactions are clearly a step in that direction. The first company to test mobile payments with Facebook is Zong, as spotted by Erin McCune earlier yesterday. Facebook has also confirmed that they are currently working with developers to test a variety of payment integrations.

Facebook Launching Credit Card Payments When Majority Of Users Don't Have Credit Cards (Updated)
We've been saying for a while that Facebook's payment platform is a huge opportunity for the company to start making serious cash but there's one issue with that logic: the majority of users don't have credit cards. While nobody knows the exact number of Facebook users with credit cards, the most recent estimates are that only around
30 percent of Facebook users 25 percent of internet users have access to a card. The other 75 percent either have a mobile phone, that they can pay with via Boku or Zong, or are out of luck when it comes to making an online transaction.

Punch Your Time Card for Workday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) giant Workday (WDAY) will report fiscal first-quarter earnings Tuesday.
The stock closed Friday at $78.30, down 33% since hitting all-time high of $116 in February. Shares are down 6% year to date.
Workday is only two quarters removed from posting 76% revenue growth. The company has quickly risen ahead of IBM (IBM) and Microsoft (MSFT) as a cloud enterprise software power.
But an overreaction has caused Workday's recent decline.Given Workday's growth capabilities in human resource management and the prospects of stealing share from (among others) SAP (SAP) and Oracle (ORCL), now is the best time to buy Workday stock.
The company is not lacking in confidence. Workday believes it can offer similar to slightly better services for prices that are close to 50% below what enterprises currently pay to Oracle and SAP. Management deserves credit for its exceptional growth. To the extent the company can grow in areas like accounting and payroll, while at the same time shoring up the SaaS market, this stock should reach $100 by the second half of the year. At the time of publication, the author held no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Follow @Richard_WSPB

Forester Goes Big on 'Discovery' Picks
(Editor's note: TheStreet today named 111 mutual funds and exchange traded funds, or ETFs, winners and runners-up in its first annual awards ceremony. A list of the funds and related articles can be found on the awards page.)
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Thomas Forester says his namesake Forester Discovery Fund (INTLX) is a "sleep-at-night" investment, as he avoids undue risks.
Forester, who has overseen the fund since 1999, is avoiding shares in countries facing budget crises, such as Greece and Portugal. The fund is investing in more highly developed and financially stable countries. It holds 29 stocks of companies that are based outside the U.S., most of which have a multinational presence.
"We look at minimizing downside risk and volatility," Forester said in an interview from his office in Broadview Heights, Ohio.

Ethiopia, Uganda, set for Cecafa Tusker Cup quarterfinals
Either Uganda or Ethiopia will become the first team to storm the quarterfinals of this year's Cecafa Tusker Cup if any record victory on Tuesday.
The Cranes and Walya Antelopes face off at Namboole having both posted wins in their opening games at the weekend.
They lead Group A on three points apiece with Kenya and South Sudan, the early kick-off, on naught.
Uganda coach Bobby Williamson and his side will, however, make do without their first choice goalkeeper Abel Dhaira.
The 25-year-old was ruled out of the competition on Monday after scans revealed he had three fractures on his left eye, a result of a collision with Kenyan striker Rama Salim as the Cranes beat the Harambee Stars 1-0 on Saturday.
Hamza Muwonge, who replaced Dhaira in the Saturday clash, is expected to start against Ethiopia.
Bobby is also expected to ring some changes in the striking department. He started with three strikers in Brian Umony, Emmanuel Okwi and Hamis Kiiza against Kenya but some the trio were snuffed out.
"I will see how guys will be before the match and we could see some changes," the Scot, Bobby, told reproters ahead of the clash.
"We have four strikers and they are all capable. We could use may be three, may be two, may be one, but we won't have all four on."
Okwi is the most likely to be retained given his sharpness in training on Monday, with one of Umony or Kiiza making way for Robert Ssentongo, who came on for Umony at the weekend.
Brian Majjwega could earn a starting role down the left, leaving Okwi to cut inside from the right with either Kiiza or Umony leading the line.
The three-man midfield of Geoffrey 'Baba' Kizito, skipper Hassan Wasswa and Moses Oloya plus he backline of Godfrey Walusimbi, Henry Kalungi, Isaac Isinde and Denis Guma is likely to unchanged.
Ethiopia, who have 14 new call-ups in their squad, were lacklustre in the 1-0 victory over South Sudan but Bobby will know just too well not to take them lightly.
The two nations have met 24 times, each winning eight times, drawing an equal number, and losing eight times apiece.

Northeast Mississippi Community College's all-time leader in football coaching victories is calling one last audible.
Former Northeast athletic director and football coach W.B. 'Bill' Ward wants to pull together a reunion during Homecoming 2011 that includes all of the football teams from 1968-1982.
For 15 years, Northeast's football program was under Ward's direction and the former Tiger football coach posted a 56-92-3 record during that time and became the Tigers all-time leader in football coaching victories.
During Ward's tenure, Northeast captured a North Division title and a pair of runner-up finishes in the division.
Northeast posted a 9-2 mark during the 1980 season en route to a perfect 6-0 run through the North and culminated with a meeting with Jones County Junior College.
In 1977, Northeast finished second in the division after the Tigers posted a 6-4 record on the gridiron and a 4-2 mark in the division.
In 1979, Northeast set the stage for the 1980 squad with a 6-5 mark and a 5-1 showing in the North Division where the Tigers only league loss came via a 17-10 decision to Itawamba Community College.
After taking an 11-year hiatus following a 10-1 Horace McCool season, Ward resurrected the program in 1968 and led the Tigers to a 4-5 record their first year back which included wins over Northwest (41-22) and Itawamba (48-14).
It was the Tigers' second year back in the football business that Northeast made its impact on the Mississippi junior college ranks reeling off a 7-2 season that included a win over Perkinston (Mississippi Gulf Coast) in the final game of the year.
Ward has been the only football coach during the program's 51-year history to break the 50-win plateau and leads in all three of the coaching categories – wins, losses and ties – during his 151 games on the Tiger sidelines as head coach.
Ward's three ties knots him with Hubert Tucker and Doug Hamley for number of square games.
Ward's 1981 squad can also claim to still hold the record for most points scored in a game when the Tigers were able to put up 55 points against Coahoma in a 55-18 showing.
In 1983, Ward handed the reins of the club over to David Carnell after winning his final two games as head football coach – a 24-14 showing against Southwest and a 35-0 shutout against Mississippi Delta.
Organizers of the reunion are encouraging former Northeast football players between the years of 1968-82 to update their information with the Northeast Alumni Office.
For more information about the reunion or to update alumni information, contact Barbara Shackelford in the Northeast Alumni Office at 1-800-555-2154 ext. 4089 or at 662-720-4089 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bureau . Schofield Hall 201 . Eau Claire, WI 54702
phone: (715) 836-4741
fax: (715) 836-2900
EAU CLAIRE — For more than 60 years a University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire alumna, Clarice Chase Dunn '37, Madison, has preserved essays, letters, photographs and news articles about life at Heart Mountain School in Wyoming, where she taught English in 1942-43.
These sad keepsakes help tell the story of the more than 112,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were incarcerated at relocation camps like Heart Mountain shortly after Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan in 1941. Because the camps were quickly abandoned after the war, their existence has been largely ignored and forgotten except by people who were a part of them.
Dunn, a retired Madison schoolteacher, recently gave her collection of memorabilia to UW-Eau Claire where they are housed in the Special Collections area of McIntyre Library.
Her Heart Mountain collection includes 11 books about the War Relocation Camps, including a copy of Ansel Adams' "Born Free and Equal"; an autograph book from students to Dunn when she left Heart Mountain; a photo album of black and white images, clippings and farewell letters from her pupils; and a complete set of camp newspapers and other newsletters.
The material is available for students and others who want to study the human story of the Japanese American incarceration. In addition, Dunn established a bequest that will endow a scholarship for minorities or students with disabilities, a tribute to those she taught in the camps and throughout her life.
"Clarice's gifts are a tribute to those people she taught in the camps and throughout her life. I can't think of a better way to remember the past and touch the future," said Carole Halberg, president of the UW-Eau Claire Foundation.
Halberg said Dunn hopes her memorabilia will help others know more about the human story of Heart Mountain.
"Just as other historic events are reduced to mere facts, the story of the Japanese American incarceration could be lost when those who were intimately involved pass on," Halberg said. "Clarice doesn't want that to happen. We are humbled by her story and thank her for this gift of history."
After hearing that a memorial is being established near Cody, Wyo., in remembrance of the camps, Dunn wrote, "Of course, it's important that the museum be established but buildings alone cannot convey the tragedy and heartbreak of the incarcerated. After 60 years there are not many internees left to tell the tale. I doubt that any Issei (first-generation immigrants) are still living, and they were the hardest hit — losing everything they had worked so hard for."
Like many from her generation, Dunn wanted to get involved in the war effort after the Dec. 7, 1941, bombing of Pearl Harbor. She had three years of teaching experience in Wisconsin and was working on her master's degree at UW-Madison. She moved to Washington, D.C., and found a job in a settlement house. A friend then told her about the need for teachers in the WRA camps. She was hired on the spot.
"After the war started, I saw the terrible race hatred growing against the Japanese ... which even small American children were developing," Dunn said in a Heart Mountain camp newsletter. "I knew it was happening all over the country. I knew the Nisei-American children would be hurt and become embittered by it — that it would damage their faith in people and in America. So when I learned about the WRA camps, I saw a chance to let these Nisei know that all Americans do not dislike them, that there is much love. So this is my small share to keep the brotherhood of man free from hatred."
The camp was in a wide open gulch where American-born children were living in tar paper shacks surrounded by barbed wire, Dunn said.
"At first there were no desks and no textbooks," Dunn said. "When I suggested that these kids are American citizens and if they didn't feel a part of the country, we might have problems in the future, one fellow told me that this was different."
Dunn taught English, social science and civics to high school-age students and an adult night course on cooperatives. The students were hungry for books so she managed to get 100 books from the Cody library over her signature.
"Up until that point I had always taught from a textbook," Dunn said. "It changed my life and my career. I had them talk and write about their situation and how it was affecting them. We talked about the challenges to being accepted …Others were quite hopeful due to the Quakers' help at the camp."
"The freshmen mostly wrote about leaving friends and other aspects of their life," Dunn said. "One boy couldn't take his pony, and told about his Caucasian friend riding the pony alongside the train as it pulled away. The sophomores were more subdued. They wanted to know what they could do when they left the camp. We conducted mock job interviews and they wrote about their future job hopes. The juniors and seniors were concerned about the future. There was bitterness about the draft."
Less than a year after arriving at Heart Mountain, Dunn had to leave because of chronic bronchitis, which was aggravated by the dust and the cold. After three hospitalizations, the camp doctor sent her home because he didn't think he could get her through another winter.
She returned to Washington, D.C., and taught English to Russians on a Lend-Lease Mission and later worked with the USO in Texas. During the Korean War she was a program director at a service club in Yokahama, Japan, for Army Special Services.
Dunn taught for 35 years and became an accomplished writer and speaker, publishing hundreds of articles in magazines and newspapers and receiving many awards. In addition to teaching in high schools and junior college, she taught illiterate adults, foreign students and homebound children. Her work in special education included developing projects for the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Madison Association for Retarded Citizens.
But Dunn never forgot Heart Mountain.
"I met many beautiful people among the Japanese," she said. "It changed my life and my career. A door was opened that I could never completely close.
"This time in our history is so little understood by most Americans. People need to know what really happened. If students are interested in this period of history, they will get the human feeling from the letters and photos."
A page in her memory book contains a fragile, handwritten letter that speaks volumes: "To Miss Chase: for minds broadened, for memories unforgettable, for faith regained, for toleration, for understanding, we do extend most affectionate thanks and we will in the course of time think of you. Very sincerely yours, the Third Period Social Problems Class."

Catholic Deacons and Celibacy: Conjugal Love and Charitable Disagreement Comments
A highly regarded Canon Lawyer claims that married men ordained to the diaconate or the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church must practice continence. What does Canon #277 say and what does it mean? Will the discussion raised by Canon lawyer Edward Peters reach Rome? With the coming infusion of married men serving as Priests and deacons it is time for a clarification of Canon #277 which dispels confusion. Continue Reading

Oh what a can of worms!! There is so much wrong here I don't know where to start. First and foremost: God instituted marriage. Is the Church truthful to God's Word when it requires continence within marriage of a man and woman called to its vocation? How can marriage fulfill its complete purpose and be open to life when you de-facto stipulate the "contraceptive" of continence? Second, what is not addressed in this article is the impact and violation to the innate dignity to the wife if she is suddenly forced to live a continent life only because her husband became a deacon during the course of their marriage. In fact, not only is the innate dignity of both violated, it is nothing short of cruel. I cannot possibly fathom the strain that would put on even the best of marriages when intimacy is forbidden. Can such emotional pain and suffering truly be God's Will when He intended the sole place for physical intimacy to be within marriage? Unlike the single person being called to the religious life where celibacy is the decision of this one person, you are dealing here with two people - bound in holy matrimony - and only one of them is ordained.

I am pretty shocked to see that Catholic.org is selling advertising to Botox! Wow, seems so "un"Catholic. Can someone help me see how this practice is respectful of our "body as our temple?"
3 years ago
It has been made apparent that there is an explicit exception for Ordinariate priests in regard to their obligation to clerical continence, namely, that they are dispensed from it. THAT, at least, is not an issue.
No one, anywhere, has been able to offer much of anything of an argument, up to this point, against Dr. Peters' position as to what Canon Law says at the present time. If Dr. Peters is right, then Canon Law as it stands at the present time is must be followed (viz. is binding) at the present time. Even the parts we may not like. The merits of the law notwithstanding, given its authority.
Arguments as to the merit or demerit of the present state of Canon Law as articulated by Dr. Peters are immaterial to his argument.

something i don't understand about Catholicism (the Latin/Roman one) is : they are so strict and rigid when dealing with the celibacy issue.. but they are too too tolerant when dealing with liturgy.. which one actually is more essential and important, the celibacy or the liturgy??.. the Latins (Roman Caths) see too highly on celibacy

Beautifully argued, Deacon Fournier.
3 years ago
Deacon Keith has taken a reasonable approach here and he understands well the complexity of all the underlying issues. But I think the canon lawyers and other theologians (respectable as they may be) who have sparked this issue are walking out on a flimsy limb here. As an Eastern Catholic, I respect and appreciate the practicality and theology behind a celibate clergy and do not think that the Latin Church should ever immediately change its discipline for celibate clergy without proper discernment with the Holy Spirit. After all, chastity and celibacy are not commanded, but nevertheless recommended for ministers by both Christ and St. Paul in the Bible; Christ and His Blessed Mother were celibate for many valid reasons and it is indeed a Christian virtue. However, I tend to be a bit of an alarmist whenever I hear about Latin theologians and scholars who assert that Western or even Oriental canon law should push for more mandatory celibacy among clergy, as if such a celibate state in life made one's vocation holier than the married life. Unfortunately, this was the thinking of some monks in the early church up through the middle ages, especially in the West. Some even argued that conjugal love was a punishment for original sin, which of course is ridiculous and contrary to Magisterial teaching. Some of these early church thinkers were being reactionary to the indulgence and hedonism they witnessed in the derogatory and base acts of Roman citizens, such as the public orgies in the circuses. Later Pope Damasus I in the 4th century encouraged celibacy for priests in the Roman diocese because he felt it preserved the "cultic purity" of Christian priests just as married Levites remained continent when serving the altar in the Old testament age. Indeed the Church battled during this time with groups like the Gnostics who looked down upon creation's goodness and the holiness of marriage, sex, and children. Eventually celibacy became more common after the turn of the first millennia to battle lay investiture. But we are not Jews who are afraid to approach the holy of Holies or to speak God's name. We are not Gnostics who look at the body or marriage as though it is a prison or dirty rag. We are Catholics, redeemed by the Incarnation, who appreciate the paradoxes of body and spirit, fasting and feasting, marriage and celibacy, transcendence and immanence, infinite God dwelling as finite man, etc. We are the Body of Christ not just the Spirit of Christ. There are many paths to holiness in the Body whether it is celibacy or marriage. It is what God call us to that counts. When the philosophy of Jansenism infected the Church after the 1600's especially in Ireland and France many faithful and clergy took a puritanical approach to holiness not much different from the Calvinists despite condemnation of the heresy from the teaching office of the Church. Indeed, the old Vatican ruling (which I believe is not enforced anymore) stating that Eastern priests in America should not have wives was due in part to the campaigning of Irish bishops from the 19th century onward who thought such a practice was unapostolic and contrary to "purity". But of course this is nonsense and discrimination within the Body of Christ itself. Continence has its place in any marriage, but the marital embrace is an occasion for renewing one's vows and increasing marital grace as John Paul II has stated in Theology of the Body. It is not less holy than the celibate state, just a different way. Married love is also a prophetic sign of Christ's nuptial love. We are "baptized" into our spouse and consummate that love in physical "communion" with the beloved. Perhaps this is all a way in which the Holy Spirit is helping the Church to finally settle and clarify the issue. But I don't understand Western theologians who constantly try to Latinized everything in sight. Continence in marriage for deacons or Eastern priests would definitely squelch the call in the hearts many men. Such men are, as Deacon Keith said, called to ministry but in a different manner. Let's not run a cold shower on married men's passion for the priesthood or deaconate either if God is calling them to that dual vocation.

why can't people just stick with one vocation? if you feel that you want to help out in the church, be a theologian or an apologist. It feels like needless complication of things because of some need to try and have both.
3 years ago
This whole argument is unhelpful. They just ordained 16 permanent deacons on Saturday in the Diocese of Arlington, and most of them are married. We had a mass for one of our own at our northern virginia parish. He had his wife and four children, his inlaws and cousins and the like in the congregation, It was very sweet. This article is a jarring reminder that we still have among us those who would make these robust men, and those former priests from the Anglican community feel unwelcome in our midst. It is chilling reading. Let's leave this up to the Holy Father. OK?

After surgery, South Dakota bowhunter settles old score
By John Kolb
2010: The First Sighting
When I look back a couple of years to the day I first saw this buck, I remember being immediately entranced by its size.
My memories are still so vivid. The sun was shining brightly; it was a cool and crisp morning, and I spotted the buck walking west, moving through a crossing on my aunt and uncle's farm.
I can't really say if the bruiser was responding to my rattling and grunting. I believe it was just passing through. When it reached a clear spot, I grunted and it stopped, looked my way and nonchalantly continued walking toward the river that winds through the property. That was the last I'd see it that season.
2011: My Bad
My next encounter was during the 2011 season while I stood in the treestand I call my lucky tree.
On this day, as I looked to the south, I spotted the buck standing at about 50 yards away facing north.
My lucky tree grows at the bottom of a steep riverbank. The stand actually sits lower than ground level at the top of the bank, so I was pretty much at eye level with this buck.
It continued to walk toward me, so I got ready to draw my bow. Unbelievably, as I pulled back on the string, my beanie and neck gaiter got caught on the release and twisted in front of my eyes. I could only see half the buck, so I let down the string.
By this time the buck was only five yards away, and I couldn't believe it didn't catch the motion. I dared not draw right away for fear it would spook.
It was now right beside me, standing on top of the bank, so I was only about two feet above it. Then the unthinkable happened.
When I attempted to slowly draw again, it either heard me or sensed something was wrong. The buck turned, ran, and once again vanished for the remainder of the season.
2012: Back Surgery
July 26, 2012 was an absolutely horrible day for me. I'd been ailing from a herniated disc in my back for about five months, and I left work early, feeling ill. I would never wish that kind of pain on anyone.
I was bedridden until mid-August when I had my second back surgery. I couldn't walk, and I needed crutches to move at all. Following surgery, I was out of work for two and a half months. Needless to say, my scouting was nonexistent.
In October I headed back to work, but I wasn't able to shoot my bow until my doctor gave me the okay. Once he did, I gave my son the old bow I'd been shooting for 13 years and bought myself a new one.
Once I received my license, I went hunting the next morning. Between work, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and daily living, I'd only been out about six times by November.
On November 7, I invited one of my co-workers to hunt with me. He is new to archery, and I thought it would be nice to have him along. At the end of our shift as we were punching out, I turned to my co-worker and said, "I'm going to shoot a deer tonight."
"Yeah, right. You might see a deer," he joked.
As I walked to my stand, I periodically spritzed buck urine and doe pee on the grass.
I got to my stand around 3:10 p.m. and immediately saw a nice 9-pointer. I grunted and rattled, but it kept walking.
As the afternoon progressed, I did a sequence of rattling and grunting, but had no action at first. Then I saw movement around 5 p.m., and two little does emerged from the brush. About that time, I heard something behind my left shoulder and turned around to look.
To my surprise, there was the big buck I'd chased for two seasons, walking down the trail I came in on. It caught me completely off guard!
Slowly, I reached for my bow and attached the release. My heart was pounding like a jackhammer, and I froze, not making eye contact with the monster, but watching it through my peripheral vision.
It stopped 10 yards away to my left, sniffing the grass where I'd squirted buck urine and doe pee. I tried not to fall out of the treestand because my heart was beating so hard.
It eventually turned, quartering away from me, so I instantly drew and slapped the 20-yard pin on its vitals and shot.
After the arrow hit, I heard what I'd best describe as a gasping noise. It whirled and ran like greased lightning, and I lost sight of it at the bend of the river.
I got down right away, which is one of bowhunting's cardinal sins, and I walked over to where it had stood.
There was blood there, and I knew deep down I'd just arrowed my largest deer to date. I followed the blood to where the river bends and decided not to pursue any further.
I hightailed it to my truck and called Dave, my good friend and hunting buddy, and told him to get out here now. I just shot the big one!
Dave arrived, and we immediately picked up the blood trail and followed it across the river.
After we'd gone about 150 yards, Dave said, "Found your buck!"
Lo and behold, there it lay with an unbroken arrow protruding from its side. We took lots of pictures and, of course, posted it immediately on Facebook.
We field dressed the monster and took it to a friend's house to hang. Lots of people gathered to see it when the word got out.
When I got home, my oldest son, Conner, ran out to see me and said, "How big is he, Dad?"
He's BIG, I told him, and asked him if he saw it on Facebook. What a great way to end the day!
Author's Note: Harvesting a mature whitetail buck is one of the hardest things to accomplish, especially with a bow. I'm incredibly proud of the time and effort I put in to take this incredible animal. It really paid off. And a special thank you to my wife and kids for putting up with my addiction.

In 1975, Boris Popov of St. Paul, Minnesota survived a 400 foot fall in a collapsed hang glider. "As I fell," Popov explained, " I became most angry at my inability to do something. I had the time to throw a parachute. I knew they existed but they hadn't yet been introduced to the hang gliding community. My many years of gymnastics training conditioned me to prepare for the water impact, and allowed me to swim to safety minus a few fillings and a bruised kidney."
Getting a Parachute Out
Realizing the limitations of current parachute technology, he concluded, "It became apparent that only stored energy components such as solid fuel propellants could offer the power, low weight, low volume, and efficacy needed to rapidly deploy a parachute, but experts in the field told us it would be difficult to deploy a main canopy with any type of rocket device," remembered Popov. "As our successes grew with this approach, we slowly evolved from the drogue gun firing a one pound slug, to a solid fueled rocket that optimized the kinetic energy with a given mass," commented Popov.
The team's resulting extraction device represented several breakthroughs.
We sell a range of rocket motors, and they are delivered with complete parachute system. The Parachute Canopy The parachute had to be extremely light weight, low volume and be capable of packing into a small container. It would deploy quickly at slow speeds allowing for low altitude emergency saves, but slowly at high speeds, preventing massive structural failure of the canopy in high speed diving emergencies. After seven years and $1.5 million of engineering effort, BRS was granted the first-ever FAA approval to install a ballistic parachute on a certified aircraft, the Cessna 150/152 series.
The key to the success of this project was the ingenious development of a parachute reefing system. Engineers Bruce Case and Phil Kadlec repeatedly deployed a sliding-ring device that performed all the functions required. This now-patented concept has since been included in most of the parachute line, and has directly saved the lives of pilots and passengers throughout the world. This "slider," has enabled us to create larger chutes for faster aircraft.
Why buy a ballistic chute? The following scenarios depict situations where the system is most effective:
Cosmetic appearance not a concern because the system is mounted internally on many aircraft and because of the use of the patented speed-sensing parachute, deployments speed capabilities are typically close to the maximum speed of the aircraft.
Present And Future
BRS has won four SBIR (Small Business Innovative Research) awards from NASA to develop new exotic lightweight parachute cloth materials that may eventually allow cutting the chute weight by almost 50%. A later grant has BRS engineers investigating parachutes for light jet aircraft. Additional developments can be expected. Today, BRS is a company of 25 employees and annual sales of about $7 million. Over 18,000 systems have been delivered.
With the BRS parachutes, most bridles and additional parts are now included in the retail price. However, there are still a small number of units that still require additional parts that are not included in our prices.
1. ALL ORDERS REQUIRE A 25 PERCENT DEPOSIT. 2. Softpack HD (HD=High Density) units are systems built with a fabric exterior container, like other softpack models, BUT which are pressure packed (unlike other softpack models, which are NOT pressure packed). 3. 1500 Softpack HD are only sold directly from the BRS factory. 4. Repack cycles assume excellent care by the owner; some climates demand weight inspection earlier; six years ONLY if seal intact. 5. Years between CANOPY repacks. NOTE: Six-year repack for softpacks ASSUMES unit is mounted internally and not exposed to ANY wind or weather! Exterior softpacks need annual repack. 6. Current rocket motors have a 12-year life until replacement is needed. SOME ROCKET ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED UNDER U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING REGULATIONS. 7. All weights are AVERAGE figures. Systems vary slightly depending on exact mounting hardware included. 8. All dimensional figures shown on the price list are in inches. "Round" numbers relate to the cylindrical canister. 9. BRS-900 and BRS-1050 also come in 8-inch diameter canisters and are 18.5 inches long.

Moccasins Beat Salem State 9-2
LAKELAND - Devin Peirce scored three goals and Jon Freda had two goals and two assists to lead Florida Southern to a 9-2 win over Salem State on Saturday.
Peirce scored less than a minute into the game and Seabrooke Carter scored later in the first quarter to give the Moccasins (3-2) a 2-0 lead. Salem State scored after that to cut it to 2-1, but the Mocs would score seven unanswered goals after that.
Peirce picked up his second and third goals of the day in the third quarter, both assisted by Freda, who also scored in the period. That accounted for all of the Mocs' scoring the third after they had led 4-1 at halftime.
Florida Southern will play again on Monday at 7:00 p.m. against Medaille (NY).

Celtics take down pesky Grizzlies, 110-105
Update: Read my more in-depth recap here, where Mike McD of Rounders fame helps me explain the C's win.
The Celtics beat the Grizzlies 110-105, but damn, it sure wasn't easy. The Celtics can thank Ray Allen, late-game assassin, for this one, and also a balanced scoring effort. Six Celtics scored between 13 and 18 points, and Eddie House added 9 off the bench.
Unfortunately, the C's defense wasn't nearly as balanced, allowing the young and athletic Grizzlies to score 105 points and shoot 51.5% from the field. It seemed as though Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo were able to do more or less whatever they wanted, and the Celtics didn't put up much resistance.
I'm going to put up a few bullets for now, but be sure to check out the main site later, where I will describe why this game reminded me of the Bulls-Celtics series from last season's playoffs.
- Grizzlies played out of their minds. Conley was hitting fallaway jumpers, Gay was making a point to get all the way to the hole, and Mayo was stroking the outside shot. Memphis is a truly talented offensive team, with scorers all over the court.
- Celtics were just too much. The C's got a couple stops here and there, and that was all they needed on a night when neither team would be proud of their defensive efforts. (To say the least.)
- Tony Allen wasn't bad. That's all I'll say about him until my longer recap later.
- Rasheed made a living down low, where his stronger-than-it-looks 6'11″ frame was built to play.
- Rondo was once again magnificent, with 18 points and 9 assists.
- Don't label Hasheem Thabeet a bust just yet.
- Zach Randolph can fill it up. But can't stop a soul.
- Lester Hudson will be optioned to the D-League.
One Response to "Celtics take down pesky Grizzlies, 110-105"
Rasheed was only 6-15, so you can talk about him being so good down low, but he was over-aggressive.

#TwentySomething: Geocaching on Block Island
There's hidden treasure underneath the Beach Pavilion. And I've found it.
It's not pirate loot, and it's not going to make anyone rich, but it is a lot of fun to find. There's also treasure at the Island Cemetery, North Point and the Mohegan Bluffs, to name a few spots.
Last week, I went "Geocaching," which is a game that uses GPS signals to find hidden caches, or containers. The containers can be small magnets, film canisters, ammo boxes or tupperware — the smaller ones contain only paper to sign, and the larger ones also contain little trinkets like keychains.
Here's how it works, in simple terms: Go to www.geocaching.com, look up your town, and pick a Geocache on the map. Enter the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cache's hiding spot into your GPS or smartphone application, and use the GPS/smartphone to find the cache.
I'm writing as a 20-something, but I'll say this activity can be enjoyed by all ages, especially those who like the outdoors, or who are looking for something different to do. I've gone by myself, and with a group of friends. It adds another dimension to the normal nature walk.
In the dead of winter on the island, there's only so much I can take of being indoors, watching Netflix and playing Xbox before I start to go stir-crazy. So I bundled up, went outside, and went looking for this "treasure."
My first stop was the Beach Pavilion parking lot, and I found that Geocache in no time at all. This one would have been a little more challenging in the summer, when there's people around, because you're basically looking pretty sketchy, looking under bushes, in the grass, and around buildings.
Then onward, to the Island Cemetery ("Family Guy" was on to something when it aired the treasure-hunting Block Island episode). Okay, a little weird to be searching among tombstones, but it also gave me a chance to tour a place I wouldn't necessarily walk around in, and see all those familiar and some unfamiliar Block Island last names. This Geocache was named "Dodge Ball," because, yup, it was hidden somewhere between a Dodge and a Ball.
To explain a little further, you never know where the caches are going to be hidden, which is the fun of the game, but there are classic hiding spots: tree branches, rock walls, fence posts, and large stones. When the search is hard, look for one of the above. They're often camouflaged so they blend in better — so look closely!
The containers are hid by other people who play the game, and once they are placed, they are supposed to remain in their hiding spot (meaning that when you find one, you're supposed to put it back exactly as found).
The other fun part is you end up in places you never knew existed. Who knew there was a clearing behind the cemetery that leads past the West Side 20 and into a nature trail? I didn't, and I live across from the West Side 20.
That Geocache was an ammo box, filled with all sorts of loot, such as boy scout badges (it was hidden by scouts) toy soldiers and toy cars. You can take a trinket or two, although you're encouraged to leave another one in its place. Again, nothing fancy or expensive, but just another reward of the game, and it makes it great for little kids, too.
I found two other Geocaches that day, too. It's like being in on a secret, the "I-know-something-you-don't-know," thing. If you're going to try this activity out, I'd suggest looking for the one hidden by the American Legion. That's a tough one...
Don't forget to go find the "BIMI & OVF" cache!

Detroit 82, Connecticut 73 (OT)
Shock Work OT for Sixth Straight Win
UNCASVILLE, Conn., June 22 (Ticker) -- Ruth Riley and Swin Cash combined for 13 points in overtime as the Detroit Shock matched a franchise record with their sixth straight win, 82-73 over the Connecticut Sun.
Riley and Elaine Powell each poured in 16 points for Detroit, which had all of its starters score in double figures. Deanna Nolan added 15 points and Cheryl Ford grabbed 21 rebounds to set a WNBA rookie record.
Taj McWilliams-Franklin scored a career-high 28 points for Connecticut, which shot just 34 percent (28-of-82) and had a three-game home winning streak halted.
Nykesha Sales, the all-time leading scorer at the University of Connecticut, added 13 points for the Sun.
The Sun tied the score, 64-64, with 21.4 seconds left in the second half on a 3-pointer by Rebecca Lobo. A member of Connecticut's first national championship team in 1996, Lobo had nine points and six rebounds.
Detroit had a chance to win it in regulation, but Nolan missed a jumper and Riley's layup was off the mark.
Riley made 1-of-2 free throws 22 seconds into the extra session, and after Ford grabbed the rebound of the miss, Cash hit a layup for a 67-64 lead.
Sales hit a layup to get the Sun within 67-66 with 3:46 to go, but Ford answered with a layup 20 seconds later. McWilliams-Franklin made a layup as the Sun again got within one, but Riley sank a 14-footer with 2:35 left to ignite an 11-3 run.

Yay. I'm back.
Kayce and I traveled to Salt Lake City for the weekend …
Our first stop was the Pebbles in My Pocket store in Sandy.
This is where I was working when I wrote Core Composition and inadvertently launched a career in scrapbooking. When I talked to Pebbles owner, Brenda Birrell at CHA, she told me they were closing the Salt Lake store, so I knew I needed to stop by and say good-bye. Obviously, the store looks nothing like I remember it and after nearly a month of 50 to 75% off, it was barren — except for the wall-0-die cuts. I'm 99.8% certain that these are the original die cut boxes that lined the first time I walked into what was then Paper Hearts!
I suppose it's always bitter-sweet to go back and revisit a place where happy memories live, but seeing this place really did pull at my heart strings. I'm so grateful for Brenda's encouragement and for all those Friday Moonlight crops. I can't even tell you how much glue stick I cleaned off of crop tables!
Good to know: You can still shop at Pebbles in Orem, UT and online.
In fact, I think I need to get me one of these.
Speaking of Core Composition …
This is Patty, who brought her copy for me to sign. I experienced some pretty raw emotion as I stared at the cover with little Clark and Chase on it (wow.) Patty also had the tote bag from Preserving The Precious, which as far as I know, was the first convention–and more of a gathering really, of people interested in preserving memories. It was held in the Little America hotel in SLC, July 1997. After teaching at this convention, I was greeted by a line of people wanting to buy my little book–and get signatures. I was shocked!
What an absolute delight to bump into BPC students and friends, Jenn Talbot and …
Daurene Turpin. So fun to just chill and chat.
Here are some other cool people I ran into (intentionally) at Crop Because You Care.
This is Michael and Ashli, who worked for me just after we launched Simple Scrapbooks. Ashli is like a daughter to me and was my best babysitter and summer nanny for years!Now she is all grown up with a husband and a brand new baby — adorable little Alyeska.
Life in its endless full circle moments is so amazing.
Kayce and I spent a good part of Sunday at Temple Square, where we listened to The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing, took a tour with sister missionaries from Taiwan and Arizona and just enjoyed the wonderful spirit that is there. This, btw is NOT a photo I took, but we did get some sunshine on Sunday, and there was just about this much snow!
This is my cute, cute sister, Darci (as most of you know) who hosted Kayce and I in her home for the weekend. Darci has a new MacBook Pro and so we all sat around on Sunday evening with our laptops and played on Pinterest, while watching bits of the Oscars.
Just before I left I snapped pictures of Darci, Tatum and …
Cache in what is clearly a slice of their morning routine!
It seems amazing photographers and photography is now the order of the day — especially online.
I suppose this is one reason that pictures, like these (which so clearly depict the imperfection of everyday life) are still my most cherished. How can you possibly not smile when you see a 3 year-old boy doning a dozen Silly Bands and picking his nose?!
Note to self: Take pictures earlier next time so you don't miss Ty and Brooklyn.
I did think to have Darci take a picture of Kayce and me, and …
to have Kayce take a picture of me and Darci. My People We Love folder will be so happy!
Monday morning was spent with Kristine McKay, who is creating a promo-VIDEO for my new version of Library of Memories that will open for registration in early April.
We met with Kristine at CHA and are excited to leverage her professional production skills and experience at Big Picture Classes. Kristine appears regularly on Studio 5 (morning show on KSL in Salt Lake City) and on Northridge Publishing How-to videos. You can learn more about Kristine here.
After we left Kristine's studio we enjoyed lunch at Thanksgiving Point and met up with Wendy for a tour of Welfare Square. No pictures again, but what a wonderful weekend — relaxing and invigorating all at the same time!
I'll wrap up by saying that I love what Seth Godin said on his blog this morning.
On taking initiative:
"I don't think the problem has much to do with the innate ability to initiate. I think it has to do with believing that it's possible and acceptable for you to do it. We've only had these doors open wide for a decade or so, and most people have been brainwashed into believing that their job is to copy edit the world, not to design it." As I look back on every good thing that has happened for me in this industry, it goes back to taking initiative. It isn't the most talented people that have doors opened to them, it's the people who check to see if the door is open! (oooh, that sounded pretty smart!)
If you feel like you have some design in you, something to initiate, you might want to purchase Seth's latest book, Poke the Box.
Mine is on its way!

60+ Resources for Big Brother Fans
My name is Sean P. Aune and I am a Big Brother fan. It's not always an easy thing to admit, but every summer I plant myself in front of the television for three months and yell at the contestants I hate. For those unfamiliar with the show, a varying number of people enter a "house" (really a decorated sound stage at CBS), spend 90 days scheming to vote each other out, and the winner takes home $500,000.
