Top Domestic Racers to Watch
Nate English (5-Hour Energy p/b Kenda)
5 / 11
At 30 years old, Nate English is no youngster, but this will be only his second year as a professional. Time trials are his biggest strength, and last year he placed fifth at the 2012 U.S. Pro TT Championships—the second best domestic rider behind the WorldTour riders, after Tom Zirbel (Team Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies). He also won time trials at Sea Otter, Madera, and Mt. Hood. His incredible engine helps him as climber and despite his 6'2" height, he has shown the power to compete with lightweight climbers.

Menlo Park Needs New Management (PDF) and text version
Original post made by OpposesIncumbents, Menlo Park: Felton Gables, on Oct 30, 2006
Web Link
Here's the text:
Menlo Park Needs New Management
Duboc, Winkler, Jellins preside over mass exodus of car dealers and retailers; Sales tax revenues drop by 50%. No rebound in sight.
During the term of Menlo Park's "business friendly" council majority of Lee Duboc, Mickie Winkler, and Nicholas Jellins , budget deficits soared as sales tax dropped sharply even though state sales taxes have recovered and boomed. The city lost many small retailers and sales tax producers, including all of the car dealerships. Many buildings, some new, are still empty. During the same time Redwood City retained all four dealerships on El Camino and even added a Ferrari dealership.
Other cities have created and implemented successful plans to increase their sales tax base. Palo Alto plans to expand Stanford Shopping Center. Sadly, Duboc, Winkler, and Jellins have no such plan. Menlo Park's only plan, "friendliness" refers to a set of zoning liberalizations that make condo and office conversions easier, and eliminate the city's ability to protect or expand retail areas. These changes are making the problem worse not better.
Retailers and other sales tax producers are being crowded out by high rents. Property owners are replacing retail areas with offices and condos to exploit high rents and high property values. Once converted, these areas will never produce sales tax again.
Duboc, Winkler, and Jellins are enacting policies that benefit commercial property owners and landlords at the expense of the city.
Menlo Park famously hired a business development manager , yet our city did not retain a single car dealership or attract a significant new project. Menlo Park officials were all unaware of the Stanford Hotel project before it was announced, according the San Jose Mercury.
The business development manager has been mis-used working on behalf of property owners preparing the zoning changes that expedite office and condo conversions.
We must replace Lee Duboc and Mickie Winkler before more sales tax producers are driven away permanently.

Raleigh architect G. Milton Small designed this house as his own residence. It is a nearly square one-story frame house sited on a steep hillside in a bend on Lake Boone Trail. Small studied under the Modernist master Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The Small House, with its uncluttered cubic shape, flat roof, and emphasis on proportions, was the first structure in Raleigh to evoke the design concepts of Mies. Additions and alterations made by Small after the initial construction continued in this style. Private residence.

We found this little gem here. Maybe next time I'll try handing this to the turds on the street.
Anti-harassment sentiment is heating up all over the world, and our latest good news comes from the middle east, where a Jordanian grassroots campaign called objecDEFY Harassment has launched with a bang!
With their own YouTube channel and a whole host of PSAs in both English and Arabic featuring unsavory characters and snarky captions like "Seriously. You're going to let these idiots ruin your life?" and calling for women to take action, we couldn't be more excited.

With recent headlines calling attention to a Mizo gang rape case and a popular Delhi actress not keeping silent about being groped in public at a half marathon, India's press is taking a much closer look at the situation on the front lines.
Mid-Day's "A Tale of Two Cities" is chock full of interviews with psychologists, sociologists, government officials, and women who are sick and tired of being unwilling participants in a war they're not interested in fighting.
"Their eyes show how much they respect women. Even men who are old enough to be your father don't feel ashamed to pass lewd comments or touch inappropriately," says one of the article's sources.

The ultimate nightmare: being trapped in some sicko psycho's taxi cab and no one knows you're there. With things like Facebook's check-in feature and Foursquare, something that allows women to check into a cab and simultaneously register the car number and driver information should not be light years away. If you're working on a solution such as this, please let us know.
And it sounds like someone is. Take this quick 10 question survey and hold your breath for something on the market soon. It takes less than 30 seconds and will let its creators know that we want it! CAB SAFETY SURVEY
In the meantime, please help Hollaback collect some information on this subject by sharing your taxi cab experiences in the comment section here.
Due to budget cuts, the city is planning to reduce its Runaway and Homeless Youth expenditures by almost a million dollars this year. Street Outreach Services will be reduced by half and completely eliminated next year. Among the agencies affected is the Ali Forney Center, one of Hollaback!'s partners in New Yorkers for Safe Transit.
Balancing the budget on the backs of NYC's most vulnerable youth is unacceptable. Citywide, 3,800 teens are homeless; among those 3,800 forty percent are LGBTQ youths. Forty percent! If we want to walk the walk of Dan Savage's "It gets better" campaign, we have to provide the resources to make "better" possible.
It's time to take action. On Monday, December 6 at 2pm the City Council is holding hearings on the proposed budget cuts at City Hall. This is an opportunity to have our voices heard, to voice opinions and concerns about the budget cuts. For more information, or if you have any questions, please call LGBT Liaison, Erik Bottcher, at 212 788 5646.
Policy reform is a way in which rape culture is confronted, whether from within the federal government or on campus. Students Active For Ending Rape (SAFER) is asking students around the U.S. to step up to the challenge by submitting your school to their database for a review of its current campus sexual assault policies. If your school does not currently maintain one such policy, SAFER wants to help you create one. If it does maintain a policy, you may be surprised to read what's included…
Log in to find your school in the Campus Accountability Project's database and watch this video to find out how to help create a community where rape culture is not promoted or tolerated in any way, shape, or form—engage your school in the discussion and help create lasting positive change for yourself and your classmates!

Film is a powerful way to make social change, and we're loving this one. It shows how men and women think about, and perceive street harassment differently.
The film points to it's own conclusions, but why do you think street harassment happens?
A penny for your thoughts…
I had the opportunity to speak with these amazing high school students from Elizabeth Irwin high school about a month ago. And they were incredible. Grace, the student at the end, even testified at the city council hearing on street harassment with me in October. She is so bold.
As Ileana says at the end. "You think feminism is dead? Look at these six." Feminism is far from dead, but if these young folks continue to have their way, street harassment's days are numbered.
Satire can be a powerful artistic form used to change bad human behavior.
It uses irony, wit, and ridicule to attack human vice, folly, and foolishness.
"As such, it is a tool that can be used to defeat street harassment," writes blogger and self-defense guru Erik Kondo.
"Satire can be used to deny and refute the power of street harassers and expose their weaknesses and flaws. I came up with the term 'sexless toad' because as a man, I believe it is an insult that takes away power and is emasculating. The point is to come up with words that take away power. The insult 'asshole' actually gives power."

Thankfully the town was not damaged much during World War II, so most of the historic buildings you can see here are authentic. While in Wernigerode, make sure to visit the castle. It dates from the 12th century, but the current structure was built in the late 1800s. Take the time to view the terraced gardens and landscape park that surround the castle. Other sites to see include the Museum of Aeronautics (50 plane and helicopters are on display here) and the Armeleuteberg which is home to the Kaiserturm observation tower and a charming forest restaurant. Also, if you want to explore the Harz Mountains, take the Harzer Schmalspurbahn, a narrow gauge railway that connects Wernigerode to the Brocken, the highest peak in the range. You can also take a bus from Wernigerode to access a cable car that goes up the Wurmberg, the area's second tallest peak. From Wernigerode, two easy day trips are to Halberstadt (15 miles) and Goslar with its World Heritage Site-listed Old City (22 miles).

NBA Finals: Game 6 Prevew
Here's where all their age and experience, heartbreak and disappointment actually benefit Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks.
They've had two days to get ready for Game 6 of the NBA finals, knowing they are one victory from the first championship for each of them and the first for their franchise.
Yet their steely resolve remains.
They refuse to allow themselves to envision taking the Larry O'Brien Trophy from commissioner David Stern.
Skeptics might say they're spewing "one game a time" cliches, but they've acted this way all postseason, especially Nowitzki.
He and Jason Terry are still scarred by Dallas' collapse in the 2006 finals against the Heat, the same team they'll try knocking out Sunday night.
The Mavs say they will take a Game 7 approach into Game 6.
Coach Rick Carlisle says "there's nobody in our locker room" who is looking at their situation as having two chances to win one game - they want it now.

Why are India, China scrapping in Kazakhstan? rediff Business Features Desk | October 21, 2005 On Tuesday, shareholders of Petrokazakhstan Inc approved a takeover bid from the China National Petroleum Corporation. In a joint venture with the L N Mittal group, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India's international arm, ONGC Videsh, had also bid for Petrokazakh. CNPC's winning bid saw Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar accuse consultants Goldman Sachs, who had been managing the bids, of foul play in an interview to The Financial Times on Monday. If you are wondering just why an oil company in Central Asia is so important for Asian giants China and India, read on. What is Petrokazakhstan Inc? It is a Canada-based company that operates only in Kazakhstan. In 1996, the Canadian company acquired oil resources in the country bordering China. Petrokazakhstan accounts for about 12 per cent of oil production in Kazakhstan and is that country's third largest oil producer. How can a Canadian company own oil assets in Kazakhstan?At that time, fresh from the wounds of the disintegration of the USSR, Kazakhstan was offering big incentives for foreign investors. But now, it wants control over its natural resources. On October 12, the Kazakh parliament's lower House passed a bill allowing State intervention in the sale of foreign stakes in oil firms. India may lose Petrokazakh battle Why are India and China so keen on acquiring Petrokazakh?The answer, my friend, is floating in the oil. Both the Asian giants need oil to fuel their big growth dreams. India buys 70 per cent of its crude oil and China is the second-largest importer of oil, behind the United States. And from Sudan to Siberia, the Asians are battling for stakes in oil firms. If India and China want oil, why are they looking at Central Asia?That's because oil reserves in Gulf countries are out of bounds for foreigners and the Western countries are fiercely possessive about their oil reserves. For instance, the US Congress has been blocking a Chinese firm, Cnooc, from taking over Unocal, an American oil company. So, Central Asia and Africa are the new battlegrounds for the adolescent giants. ONGC, BP in renewable energy talks What was India's problem with the Petrokazakh bidding process?According to Petroleum Minister Aiyar, the ONGC-Mittal combine was ahead of CNPC in the first round of bidding. The Chinese company was allowed to re-bid. But before the Indian joint venture could re-bid too, the sale was announced. So, has CNPC taken over Petrokazakh?Not yet. Russian oil company Lukoil claims that since it has an existing project/venture in Kazakh it has first right of refusal. The matter is in court. Kazakh oil deal unfair, says Aiyar ONGC's hope of taking over Petrokazakh is over then. Right?More Specials

But this focus on hitting the right notes with consumers doesn't come without its dangers, according to Lester.
"(Too much) design is driven by fashion and lifestyle. It's driven by function last."
The cramped, poorly designed and often cheaply constructed apartments going up all over Melbourne and Sydney rely heavily on a "lifestyle" angle for their appeal, Lester believes. People continue to buy them more because they bear the name of a fashionable architecture firm than because they're well designed or well built.
Think curvy objects, think Alessi. More than any other company, Alessi has proven that for a design to be popular, form doesn't necessarily have to follow function.
From Philippe Starck's Juicy Salif lemon squeezer to Guido Venturini's animorph Gino Zucchino sugar sifter, Alessi's designers have rolled out a long line of household gadgets whose curves and bulges seem to fit them for anything but the job they were made to do.
"Alessi doesn't try to design products that we need," says University of NSW industrial design lecturer Rina Bernabei. "They try to design our desires, our wants."
The original iMac's colourful, juicy curves torpedoed the idea that a computer was just a box full of silicon with a TV on top. The latest iMac goes a step further - the "box" has become a rounded pedestal for the flat screen, and the hard-edged technology has morphed into an organic blob.
Apple's head designer, Jonathan Ive, says he wanted the original to be "approachable", and it's almost as if he's now banished the box and its contents altogether, reducing the personal computer to a flat screen and a curvy see-through mouse - which, when you think of it, are the two bits that the average user uses the most.
Not everyone is enthusiastic about this trend. "The designer as stylist is a very dangerous movement," cautions James Dyson, the English engineer who amassed a �700-million ($1.83-billion) fortune by redesigning the humble vacuum cleaner. "That's really when design is used as marketing, when you produce a product that invokes some sort of sensation in people.
"It's deceiving the public, because it's seducing you to buy the product because of its style, and not how it works or performs."
The greatest challenge for designers, Dyson believes, is to convince people of the merits of something completely new and different, a challenge he, and Apple, appear to have met.
The latest tech is all "titanium" and everything in the kitchen has a stainless-steel finish - the cooktop, the fridge, the dishwasher. It's no accident.
"We try and influence people to become passionate about a product," says Chris Ware, director of design at Sunbeam. "If they become passionate, then we've achieved a goal."
"Quality-associative materials" such as stainless steel and chrome give the impression of strength and longevity - without always delivering.
"Just because a product uses stainless steel, it doesn't mean that it's high in quality," Ware says. "But people associate stainless steel with high quality. It lasts for a long time, it doesn't rust."
Shiny kitchen gear has a commercial/industrial look that says "this is for serious cooks" and the shiny finish of so many gadgets gives them a kind of mystical connection with the future, or at least implies they're made of futuristic materials.
"Designers try to tap into aspirations and dreams of people," says Rina Bernabei, an industrial design lecturer at the University of NSW.
The Danish architect and product designer Arne Jacobsen knew this when he created his sculpted, stainless-steel 1956 cutlery, later used in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Apple's Titanium iBook taps into the same dream with its rare-metal-equals-space-shuttle-technology look and feel.
Baker-Miller Pink is a well-documented case of the strong affect colour can have on people's behaviour. It's supposed to "tranquilise" anyone exposed to it for more than 15 minutes, lowering their blood pressure and pulse rate. Jail holding cells all over the US are painted "drunk-tank pink" to minimise trouble among inmates.
Fast food chains use bright colours in their interior schemes because the research says bright reds, yellows and oranges stimulate our systems - and our appetites.
The second iteration of the iMac came in a range of colours that were described as "flavours": strawberry, tangerine, lime, blueberry, grape. These tasty colours gave the iMac a friendly appeal, telling buyers technology was no longer something to be afraid of. The iMac became a design object in itself, something that would look good in any groovy pad: the computer was morphing out of its hard shell, so alien to domestic space, to become just another household gadget.
Then there's fashion, the most trend-driven of all human endeavours. While the fashionistas wear black (the most powerful fashion colour), the magazines they write for tell you that winter's palette is full of chocolate, caramel and cream; summer will be all about hot pink, bright yellow and apple-green.
The way colours "take" for a season is no accident: colour-trend forecasting is a seriously organised activity. In London, the International Colour Authority gets a team of "the world's most distinguished and experienced colourists" together two years out to make seasonal colour predictions that will filter out and influence fashion and interior design around the world.
Such trend-spotting relies on a feedback loop, and being "in" or "out" depends on how and where you're plugged into that loop.
Designers discovered long ago that we tend to shop the way we drive - in countries where cars drive on the left, people drift to the left while they walk. Shops are designed so the products that retailers most want to sell are on that side of a store, with the cash register opposite.
Escalators are more likely to be leading into a shop than out (you get offered the stairs). You're rewarded for going in, but punished for leaving.
When Sydney's Eastern Distributor tollway opened a couple of years back, the city faced the problem of encouraging people to use it - and pay. The solution was to remove one lane from a previously popular - and free - route across the city. The resulting congestion on that road soon saw many people switch - at a cost - to the new tollway.
Melbourne's CityLink tollway - grafted onto an existing (and free) freeway system - makes a powerful statement with architect-designed sound barriers, landscaped verges and a stainless steel tunnel that blocks one section of flyover from nearby public housing towers: "The future is here, the future is shiny and new, the future is private".
Public space has become increasingly privatised. People now gather in shopping malls, cinema multiplexes and modern sports stadiums where the main exchanges are economic and the most powerful social capital is capital. Shopping and window shopping have become our favourite pastimes, keys to how we define ourselves.
Look up from your monitor in the average urban cubicle farm and you'll probably see waist-high pre-form partitions in a shade of mustard or taupe, carpet that's neither brown nor grey but something else in between, and walls painted a lively fluoro-deadening cream. Why is the space you call your office so drably designed? Is it really so that everything will match the beige box on your desk? Or is it just because "dull equals serious", and that's the mindset your boss wants?
Things are changing in some professions. Smaller workplaces, especially those in design-oriented fields - architecture, graphic design, interior design - now look groovier and more inviting.
There's a marketing angle (we are designers, our workplace is an example of our aesthetic) but there are also profound social effects for the people who work there.
Callum Fraser and Zahava Elenberg of Melbourne architects Elenberg Fraser tell the story of one old-school firm where the principals (no coincidence) sat at desks at the front of a large room with rows of draftsmen and architects at tables facing them. When you finished a piece of work or wanted to discuss it with the boss, you took it up the front...
Fraser's Melbourne studio shows the new way. He and about a dozen of his employees work at four big tables in one room - the corporate hierarchy is almost completely broken down, and co-operation rather than competition is the word. There is a separate office for "sensitive" phone calls and discussions, a bathroom and showers for staff who cycle to work. Downstairs is a gallery that Fraser hopes young architects will use to show their ideas. It's a very different vision of the corporation's role in society.
Bigger companies are also moving with the times. Compaq's offices in Sydney's north feature breakout spaces and staff coffee bars, and the interior fit-out is friendlier, more colourful and more inviting. Tech companies especially want to foster workers' creative energies with relaxed and comfortable work spaces.
Philippe Starck
In his late teens, Philippe Starck started a company creating "inflatable products", before designing the interiors of several Paris nightclubs. In a well-celebrated career he's worked with dozens of companies designing everything from apartment blocks to toothbrushes. His most recognisable piece of industrial design remains the Juicy Salif, a lemon squeezer for Alessi. The piece went into production in 1990.
Giorgetto Giugiaro
Synonymous with Italian style, Giugiaro designed more cars than anyone else in the 20th century. He was snapped up by Fiat at 17. Less than 10 years later, in 1961, he created the Dino coupe for Ferrari. Today Giugiaro, 64, owns and runs his own design firm, Italdesign, based in Torino, Italy.
Marc Newson
Marc Newson created his Lockheed Lounge in 1986, just a couple of years after studying jewellery and sculpture design in Sydney.
At 37, he's one of the world's foremost industrial designers, having produced watches, lights, furniture, toiletries, cars and interiors.
Jonathan Ive
Widely known as "the Armani of Apple", thanks largely to his contributions to Apple's new lease of life, Ive designed the original iMac, released in 1999, when he was 30. It was designed, he says, to "look approachable". An Englishman, Ive's also responsible for the design of the latest iMac and the iPod and now works as the head of Apple industrial design.
Lawrence G Paull
Starting out as an architect and town planner gave Larry Paull the perfect background to construct the futuristic, neon-baked Los Angeles in 2019 that's the backdrop to 1982's Blade Runner. As the film's production designer, he was nominated for an Oscar for best achievement in art direction/set decoration. Since Blade Runner he's put his stamp on Back to the Future and Predator 2, among other films.
Rem Koolhaas
The work of Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas tries to harmonise technology and humanity. A former journalist, Koolhaas first grabbed world attention with his book Delirious New York: A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan, a reflection on modern architecture and society. Later, as the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), he dreamed up buildings like Utrecht University's Educatorium, Zeebrugge's Seaterminal and the planned Seattle Public Library. In 2000 he won the prestigious Pritzker Prize for architecture.
David Carson
Carson is often called "the father of the grunge look" thanks to his work on the radically-designed Raygun magazine in the early '90s. He was once a pro surfer and made his mark with experimental type and layout on skateboard and surf mags. Critics have called magazines designed by Carson "unreadable". Now in his mid-40s, Carson runs David Carson Design in New York.
Joshua Davis
London's Design Museum says: "If it wasn't for Joshua Davis, the Internet would not only look completely different, but function differently too." Self-taught, Davis made waves as a Flash pioneer on his Praystation site (which won last year's Prix Ars Electronica). At 31 he continues to rock the Web world with Praystation and another experimental site, Once-upon-a-forest (www.once-upon-a-forest.com), plus his work for NYC design studio Kioken.
say what?
Richard Swift, 27, Sydney, IT consultant.
iMac: I'm really into this. It's unique. It's good to break the mould. It makes it cool to have a computer on your desk.
Juicy salif: It's a cool design, I guess. But it's the sort of thing Edwina from Ab Fab would have. It wastes space on a surface. I might buy it for a gift, but I wouldn't like to receive it.
Beetle: I think it's a design that grows on you. Initially it's a bit too way-out to fall in love with. It takes time to develop a bond with a brand-new design.
Geoff Isaac, 40, Sydney, marketing consultant.
Beetle: My first car was a beetle, so I was interested in this from a nostalgic point of view. I was impressed, they updated it well, with a contemporary treatment of an old classic. It updates the original without moving too far away from it.
Juicy salif: The only juicer ever to be used as a murder weapon - in a film. Looks fantastic, but never works properly.
Roz Priest, 35, Sydney, small business owner
iMac: I like the sleek lines, but I don't know why. It definitely has an effect. It makes me want to own it.
Beetle: You actually get a physical feeling from them. The proportions are right, so it feels good.
Samantha Coker-Godson, 28, Melbourne, traditional Chinese medicine practitioner
iMac: I think there are some people who are into computers and so... would spend a lot of money on their computers. I don't think this is for somebody that just plays around or just does data-type work.
Beetle: When it first came out I wasn't quite sure, but it's grown on me. It happens everywhere: you look around in architecture... and there's a repeat of styles and designs but just with a slightly new edge on them.
Juicy salif: It's crazy. It reminds me of something out of The War of the Worlds. (If I were to buy a juicer) I would look for practicality first�the whole idea of a juicer is so that you can get juice out of food. (This) doesn't look particularly practical but then I haven't used it.
Nick Rustemi, 28, Melbourne, florist
iMac: It's more or less about appearance. It's sad because you can probably get another brand that's probably the same quality. It all goes back to the name being Apple.
Beetle: It looks like a really nice cosy car. I've seen a lot of cosmetics people drive it. Look at the Fords and the Holdens. They look pretty much the same. This one really stands out.
Juicy salif: That's what's in now. You look at the couches, they've all got the chrome legs. What's the difference between this juicer and a plastic one? It does the same job. But if something looks good, people'll buy it.
Gini Merange, 22, Melbourne, toy store sales assistant
iMac: I'm a bit of a sucker for good design. I like the flat screen and the way it's Completely rotatable and that you can move it around - it's just appealing.
Beetle: I like the idea of revamping old, classic, iconic cars, I like the new Mini Minor. This is just a bit ugly... too bubbly.
Juicy salif: It's a little creepy�it's bit scary but it's quite a good design. I think if I owned my own house and was setting up a kitchen I might consider (it). Where I am now, I'd just buy like a normal juicer�because I'm living in a shared house.
Michelle Davies, 35, Melbourne, gifts and lifestyle store buyer/owner
iMac: I like the colourful iMac - I've got a pink one. Some people don't want something so groovy - and it's very unusual looking. If you were just looking for a computer you'd probably go for something a bit bulkier.
Juicy salif: That's definitely timeless, it's a beautiful design. It's like a little creature, almost like a futuristic insect-thing. It looks like a little Sputnik. It's definitely all about the design with that one�you have to use the elbow grease like any manual juicer.
Laurence Penrose, 21, Sydney, arts student.
iMac: I guess the flat screen's different to what's already out there.
Juicy salif: It reminds me of The War of the Worlds. But I've no idea what it's supposed to be. I certainly wouldn't have thought it was a juicer. It's a bit monumental, Isn't it?

Holographic correction of large telescope primaries by proximal, off-axis beacons
Applied Optics, Vol. 35, Issue 4, pp. 603-608 (1996)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (333 KB)
Compact telescope configurations incorporating a holographic correction of large, low-quality primary collectors are demonstrated. Aberration correction is demonstrated with an off-axis laser beacon located close to the primary. This arrangement results in a compact telescope with minimum obscuration. The reduction of additional off-axis aberrations introduced by the method is also demonstrated.

This is a very attractive and tasty fish recipe. The fish was tilapia and was done in no time. There did seem to be a lot of the honey mango sauce left and I do think I might cut back a little on the honey next time around. All in all a beautiful dish to serve with a mingling of flavors. Made for the Vivacious Violets during ZWT 7.

Dr. Roberts is our family doctor starting in San Ramon & since moving on to Danville. The four of us have had excellent experiences with Dr. Roberts, Dr. Humphrey & staff. Dr. Roberts red tagged two (what could have been) very serious health problems for my husband before any damage could set in. He has a peaceful heart & loves what he does. We the East Bay area we are very lucky to have such a knowledgeable & caring doctor.
From the moment I first met Dr. Roberts I knew he was a special breed of doctor. His bedside manner cannot be beaten and his diagnostic skills cannot be topped. He is caring and dedicated to the practice of good medicine. His selection of staff and of his partner (Dr. Humphrey) show how much he cares about his patients. When I am sick anywhere in the world I want to get back to see Dr. Roberts so I know I'm in the best hands I can be in. He makes me feel safe. What more can you ask from a doctor? He's been my doctor for 23 years and counting.

After Antares test launch, Orbital aims for space station BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: April 26, 2013 Buoyed by a flawless test launch of the Antares rocket, the heavy-lifting part of its commercial cargo resupply system for the International Space Station, Orbital Sciences Corp. has its eye on a summer demonstration flight of the company's Cygnus resupply freighter.
"I'm not going to hold my breath any less on the next one than I did on this one," said Frank Culbertson, executive vice president and general manager of Orbital's advanced programs group. "Every launch is a challenge, and you want to make sure that it's all done right." Sunday's flight was the culmination of a six-year, $300 million effort to design, build and test the Antares booster, which can loft medium-class satellites into orbit and is contracted by NASA to launch nine more times on cargo deliveries to the space station. It also broke in a new $140 million launch pad at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Eastern Shore. Launch pad 0A is owned by Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport and was mostly funded by the Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority. "Early results of the engineering analysis indicate that the vehicle's all-important first stage system, including its twin liquid rocket engines, performed exactly as expected, as did other vehicle systems as well as the launch complex's propellant and pressurization equipment," said David Thompson, Orbital's chairman, president and CEO. Culbertson said the success of Antares permits the company to move on to the next phase of its $288 million agreement with NASA, which is how the U.S. government finances development of the Antares rocket and Cygnus spacecraft in partnership with Orbital's own capital. "All of that demonstrated that when we do this again, we know how to make this happen and we'll get that payload - the Cygnus - into orbit and on its way to the International Space Station, so that it can continue its mission and we can provide the cargo, the experiments, the clothing and food that they need to sustain and extend their mission." Already fueled and loaded with cargo, the first Cygnus spacecraft will be bolted to the second Antares rocket ahead of launch from Wallops Island, Va. Sunday's Antares test flight only sent a dummy payload into orbit.
"It's ready to be transferred into the horizontal integration facility, and as soon as the rocket is ready to receive it, we will integrate the two together and it will be ready to roll out to the pad some time this summer - probably late June or early July," Culbertson said. "So we will be on track for delivery, assuming the space station schedule can accommodate us, and we don't run into any unforeseen problems." In March, technicians packed 1,235 pounds of cargo into the craft's Italian-built main cabin, then engineers mated the pressurized compartment to the Cygnus service module. Earlier this month, workers filled the spaceship's tanks with propellant. "The spacecraft will not be the long pole in getting to the pad," Culbertson said. "It will be just evaluating the pad condition to see what we have to do to refurbish it, if anything, and then getting the next core completely assembled with its engines, the second stage, and get the fairing in here so we can assemble and attach the spacecraft to the front end, and then roll it out." Workers will add some additional cargo, including fresh food, into the Cygnus spacecraft before it rolls to the launch pad. The Cygnus freighter's cargo section is based on the multi-purpose logistics modules used by NASA to ferry supplies to and from the space station in the space shuttle era. Orbital devised the Cygnus service module using a design proven on the company's geostationary communications satellites. While Orbital paid for the development of the Antares rocket with private financing, the company funded work on Cygnus jointly with NASA. Orbital started working on the Antares rocket in early 2007, and the firm won public funding from NASA in February 2008.
The U.S. space agency turned to the commercial sector to replace some of the cargo-carrying capacity lost with the space shuttle's retirement. Orbital's first four operational Cygnus missions will each carry up to 4,400 pounds of equipment, food and experiments to the space station. Orbital and Thales plan to introduce a larger cargo module for flights in the second half of the contract, raising the Cygnus capacity to nearly 6,000 pounds per flight. Unlike SpaceX's Dragon spaceship, which can return hardware to Earth intact, the Cygnus will dispose of the space station's trash in a fiery re-entry back into the atmosphere, similar to most of the station's supply freighters. One big advantage of the Cygnus is its ability to carry more volume than Dragon, according to NASA. With most of the hardware for the next mission already at the Wallops launch base, engineers will complete pending safety reviews for NASA and space station partners to approve the approach of the Cygnus spacecraft within the outpost's vicinity. "What's left to finish up is the verification of the final safety review packages to make sure it is compliant with the visiting vehicle requirements that we establish," said Alan Lindenmoyer, manager of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program, which oversees the cost-sharing development agreement for the Orbital Sciences cargo resupply system. "Once those verifications are complete, we'll go into a final review of flight readiness status," Lindenmoyer said. Meanwhile, NASA and Orbital will continue joint testing of the Cygnus spacecraft's flight software. "There has already been a great deal of joint testing done with the software simulating a mission, and that's gone very well," Lindenmoyer said. The joint tests ensure the Cygnus software will function in concert with the space station. "Software is always one of the most challenging things in any development," said Frank DeMauro, Orbital's Cygnus program manager.
"When we do this with a Cygnus spacecraft on the front end, and we have cargo to deliver, we're not going to have the luxury of a two-hour window," Culbertson said, referring to the length of the launch window on the Antares test flight. "We're going to have anywhere from five to zero minutes, so we're going to have to get it right the first time." It will take three-to-five days for the Cygnus spacecraft to each the space station. The exact timing of the mission partially depends on finding an opening in the space station's busy manifest, which this summer includes the arrivals of European, Russian and Japanese resupply ships, plus a series of spacewalks. "We'll be at a certain level of nervousness all the way to main engine cutoff and then to orbit insertion," Culbertson said. "But on that one, of course, we will have the additional challenge of making sure the Cygnus is actually in orbit and that it deploys its solar arrays, it has its own power, and then it can start its rendezvous maneuvers to get to the station, which will take about three-to-five days." Along the way, controllers at Orbital Sciences headquarters in Dulles, Va., will put the Cygnus spacecraft through predefined tests, demos and health checks. NASA must sign off on the results of the tests before the craft can get close to the space station. Using automatic on-board navigation aids, the Cygnus spacecraft will fly itself to a point about 30 feet below the space station, where it will be grasped with the lab's robotic arm and moved to a parking spot on the complex for a stay of up to a month. "We won't relax for quite a while on that one until we're actually grappled, berthed to the station and the hatch is opened," Culbertson said. "Even then, we'll still want to make sure everything goes right, but that will be a major achievement." |

Red disk in center of National Insignia suggests this was prior to 15-May-1942. - Bill says:

Looks like this B-25C doesn't have its dorsal
turret installed, you would be able to see it
even from the angle of the photograph.
The B-25C was armed with 2x.50caliber machine
guns w/400rpg in a Bendix electrically powered turret w/a backup emergency power unit.
One nose mounted .30caliber machine gun w/600rounds, later model B-25s replaced the 30caliber, with a .50caliber machine gun w/300rounds, 2x.50caliber machine guns
w/350rpg in a Bendix retractable ventral turret.
Some crews made field modification, by adding
one or two.50caliber machine guns in the tail. Later models had a manned tail gun position with 2x.50caliber machine guns. The B-25 was powered by 2xWright Twin Cyclone Air-Cooled Radial Engines.
Pre-war Army marking were used from 1927 to 1941. Photograph of the B-25s markings show the Army rudder markings of seven red and six white horizontal stripes, have been deleted, on this aircraft.
Markings were discontinued for all aircraft
from 1942. US aircraft also deleted the red
disk in the center of the white star on a
blue disk.
A plain white star on a blue disk, was used on the fuselage sides and on the upper port wing, and under the starboard wing was used from May 1942. The letters U.S. Army under the wings were kept until painted over for all pre-1941 aircraft. - Bill says:
19 Mar 2012 10:37:07 PM
The North American B-25 Mitchell in photo, was assigned to the 2nd Bomb Group.
The truck is a 1941 Autocar 4x2, 2 1/2 ton, Model U4144 w/Heil L-1 600 gallon oil service
body. During WWII, Autocar built 50,000 units for the military.
The Company still produces service-trucks,
tractors, aircraft service trucks, mobile cranes and other heavy duty vehicles.

First production model featured a civilian type enclosed cab. Later vehicles were built w/canvas
tops w/removable side windows, and was Powered by a 1 x 6-cylinder engine of 112hp.
During WWII 11,104 vehicles were built, as a tractor, it could tow semi-trailers, fuel tanker flatbeds, mobile workshops, communication vans, dump truck version and a specialized version could tow trailers containing pontoon bridge sections. White Motors built 2,750 units after the war, many were kept in service into the 1950s

This is an early B-25 used by 2nd BG during 1942 on antisubmarine patrol. Later 2nd BG went to Africa (12th AF) and Italy (15th AF) with B-17s.

A burst of hiring of temporary census workers helped push down the unemployment rate in May, but the nation's private-sector employers added a mere 41,000 new jobs last month, the Labor Department said Friday.
The unemployment rate fell to 9.7% last month from 9.9% in April, due mainly to new, but temporary, census jobs, the Labor Department reports.
However, the biggest burst in hiring in three years was partly the result of temporary hiring for the census.
WASHINGTON — Weekly applications for U.S. unemployment benefits ticked up slightly last week, the latest sign of slow but consistent gains in the job market. The Labor Department said Thursday that applications rose 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 371,000, the most in five weeks. The previous week's total was revised lower. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, increased 6,750 to 365,750, after falling to a four-year low the previous week. A department spokesman says all states reported data and none were estimated.
The U.S. private sector has added more than 2.5 million jobs last year, and some economists say that if the pace of hiring continues, the nation could return to full employment by this time next year.
(WASHINGTON) — U.S. employers added 204,000 jobs in October, an unexpected burst of hiring during a month in which the federal government was partially shut down for 16 days. The Labor Department says the unemployment rate rose to 7.3 percent from 7.2 percent in September, likely because furloughed federal workers were counted as unemployed. The report noted that the shutdown did not affect total jobs. Employers also added 60,000 more jobs in the previous two months than earlier estimated. The figures suggest hiring has picked up in the fall.
Here it is, folks: The final jobs report before the 2012 Presidential Election. The Labor Department announced this morning that the U.S. economy added 171,000 jobs in October, and that the unemployment rate ticked up one-tenth of one percent to 7.9%, besting the consensus prediction of 125,000 new jobs. And with the announcement, the government's monthly Employment Situation Report can now revert back to its usual status of being just another data point among many which help paint a picture of the state of the economy.
