5 NFL Grinches For The 2012 Holiday Season
San Diego Chargers
Blackouts this season: Three
Team ownership hates its stadium and its deal with the city and the team's fans and San Diego officials hate ownership right back.
This team sold out 48 straight games through 2010 but started blacking out games as key players left and the Spanos family of team owners sought a new stadium from San Diego and other California cities. As Los Angeles and Chula Vista lick their chops, the Spanos family is all too happy to black out the fans who refuse to pack Qualcomm (QCOM) Stadium as the team drifts further into mediocrity. This year's record so far: 4-8.
"We're in one of the oldest stadiums in the league, and don't have opportunities that other teams have to increase revenue with things like a bigger naming rights deal or digital signage," executive vice president and CEO A.G. Spanos told the North County Times. "We rely heavily on ticket sales as a primary revenue stream. This market has shown an ability to sell out games over the last 10 years, and we need to take advantage of that." San Diego has extended the Spanos family its longest digit in response. During this year's mayoral debates, San Diego mayoral candidates U.S. Rep. Bob Filner and Carl Demaio vowed they would not devote public subsidies toward a new Chargers stadium if elected. Newly minted Mayor Filner was even more forceful, saying, "Enough of the extortion from our sports teams, whether they be the Padres or the Chargers." He later added "no extortion of the public money by the San Diego Chargers when I'm mayor." Filner also stated, "I would like to see San Diegans have part ownership of the team." When asked how this was possible since NFL rules prohibit public ownership, Filner said, "The NFL is not the Ten Commandments; it's not the Constitution of the United States. NFL rules can change." Corporate sponsors including the team's local CBS affiliate bought out tickets and kept the Chargers' Nov. 1 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs on the air, but they've had two home games blacked out since. With the Denver Broncos already clinching the division title in the AFC West and the Chargers dropping their past four games, a run to 8-8 seems unlikely. The blackouts may not be over, but the love affair between San Diego and the Chargers may well be.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

'cholarly and entertaining book about food, sex, and the fizz of social life' - Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times'This book is the ideal companion for the armchair tourist.' - Classical Review
Empire of Pleasures presents an evocative survey of the sensory culture of the Roman Empire, showing how the Romans themselves depicted and visualized their food, wine and entertainments in literature and in art. This fascinating journey envelops the reader in a world devoted to the titillation and fulfillment of the senses, recapturing the Empire as it was sensed and imagined by those who lived in it. At the same time, Andrew Dalby creates a compelling new approach to the work of many of the best known Roman poets.
With numerous illustrations, and recipes to conjure up the luxurious flavors and aromas of Roman literature, Empires of Pleasures will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in classical literature and culture.

After several minutes in flight we reprogrammed for landing and made it safely through a visual approach with the assistance of the instructor with power, flaps, and landing gear. I must admit a little over steering just prior to touchdown, and I missed the center-line by a few feet, but I greased the landing. It was so good I could hear you all cheering from the back of the plane. I gave myself a solid B for keeping us on course, altitude and the approach, an A on touchdown, and a C for the wing wobble close to the runway. We walked away so it was all a success.
The rest of the day was spent is smoke filled cabins, sliding down evacuation slides and operating the exit doors. I watched some of the gang struggle to board the life raft in calm conditions of the swimming pool. God save us all in 6 foot seas, freezing cold water and under true hazordous conditions.
The whole day was a lifetime experience and the simulator for this aviation geek and my charity bid of $205 to the Susan B Komen Foundation for the opportunity was well spent in more than one way.

London-based absolute return investment manager RAB Capital has acquired a 20 per cent stake in Tokyo-based Prestige Asset Management, which was established three years ago by a former managing director of Goldman Sachs in Japan.
Prestige, which provides investment advisory and distribution services for investment products in Japan, was established in 2004 by president and chief executive Makoto Matsuzaki, and currently has nine employees.
According to RAB Capital, the minority stake in Prestige gives the UK firm a significantly improved marketing capability in the Japanese market, and allows it to benefit from Prestige's understanding of the country's asset management market and relationships within it.
'Makoto Matsuzaki has put together an impressive team that has already been successful in distributing selected RAB products,' says RAB Capital executive chairman Michael Alen-Buckley. 'This strategic shareholding further deepens our relationship, and reflects a goal of establishing broader co-operation with Prestige in promoting the RAB offering in Japan.'
Founded in 1999, RAB Capital had USD7.1bn in assets under management at the end of September 2007 in 13 single-strategy and two multistrategy absolute return vehicles, each with assets exceeding USD100m, and also manages the AIM-quoted company RAB Special Situations. The management company is itself a constituent of the FTSE AIM UK 50 Index.

XJ Swing Out???
I am starting to make a swing out for my xj, I have a few questions 1st howlong should I make the bumber mounts soeveryting clears ok? The other thing I am undecided on is should I take the hitch off and weld in the reciver into the bumper. I plan to tie the bumper into the hitch or the hitch mounting if its removed. The last thing I am thinking of using a 1" round stock with a machined peice to fit over the round stock, with a grease fitting. Will it work or should I go buy the spindle from a trailer? Any help would be great thanks, Trav

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
BU president elected to council of international ethics committee
Brandon University president Deborah Poff has been elected council member on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), an international resource network dedicated to the ethical publication of research in all academic fields.
Poff is editor-in-chief of the Journal of Academic Ethics; and editor of the Journal of Business Ethics, ranked as an "A" journal by the Financial Times and Bloomberg.
Active on numerous boards and expert committees dealing with business and applied ethics, Poff chaired a federal government advisory committee in 2010-2011 which developed the research integrity framework for universities and research hospitals that undertake research with federal funding, BU officials said today.
"I am delighted and surprised to have been selected to the COPE council by our 7,000 voting members," Poff said. "The mandate of COPE is important to me and I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate directly in the operations."
COPE provides advice to editors and publishers on all aspects of publication ethics and, in particular, how to handle cases of research and publication misconduct. The Committee was established in 1997 by a small group of medical journal editors in the United Kingdom but has grown to an international organization, including several major publishers.
As a council member, Poff will attend four meetings per year in the U.K. and one in North America.

Nets-Rockets Preview
The Brooklyn Nets are looking to re-establish their recent momentum, while the Houston Rockets are hoping they've already begun doing just that.
The host Rockets may be feeling better about their chances Saturday night considering they're going for a 12th straight victory against the Nets.
Brooklyn (26-17) had pulled within one game of Atlantic Division-leading New York by winning 10 of 11, but it couldn't continue to close that gap Friday. The Nets shot 40.8 percent from the field - 3 of 17 from beyond the arc - while being routed 101-77 at Memphis.
"They just came out and played better than us," guard Deron Williams said. "They played tougher than us. They outrebounded us and out-toughed us. This is a game where we didn't come out and play the way we were supposed to play."
The Rockets (23-22) were also enjoying success in the early part of this month, having won 10 of 12 before dropping a season-high seven in a row. They've since recovered to win two of their last three, and they were rarely threatened while pouring in 11 of 21 from 3-point range in Friday's 100-82 victory at New Orleans.
"We played the right way and guys made shots," said James Harden, who scored 30. "There were a lot of things that really put us over the top."
Facing Brooklyn may be an ideal way for Houston to build on that performance. The Rockets have won 14 of the past 15 meetings with the Nets, including 11 in a row while averaging 107.6 points and shooting 45.8 percent from beyond the arc.
Harden has been the spark behind Houston's high-scoring offense this season, and he will be the Rockets' lone representative when they host next month's All-Star game. He has connected on half of his 32 attempts from the floor and all 17 of his free throws over the past two games, totaling 53 points.
That's a vast improvement from the previous four contests, when he made just 25.0 percent from the field and needed to connect on 40 of 48 free throws to average 21.0 points - still well below his career-best mark of 25.9 for the season.
Jeremy Lin is averaging a modest 12.0 points, but he totaled 46 and 16 assists in two meetings with the Nets during his breakout stretch for New York last season. Williams also thrived offensively in the point guard matchup, averaging 29.5 points and 8.5 assists in those two contests.
The Nets are expecting to have Williams back after he left Friday's defeat in the third quarter with a quad contusion. Interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said he could have returned if the outcome had been in doubt.
"It just seemed like more sense to let the (reserves) finish it out," said Carlesimo, who is 12-3 since replacing the fired Avery Johnson last month.
Williams has missed the Nets' last two meetings with Houston, and Brook Lopez was also out for the most recent one, which the Rockets won 112-106 on March 10. The center had averaged 20.6 points on 57.5 percent shooting over the previous five games in the series.
Joe Johnson found success against the Rockets while with Atlanta, scoring 21.6 points per game the last eight times he's faced them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
John Herschel Glenn, Jr. (Col, USMC, Ret.; born July 18, 1921) is a former U.S. Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut and United States senator. He is the last surviving member of the Mercury Seven, the original group of military test pilots selected in 1959 by the American space agency NASA to operate its Mercury spacecraft and become America's first astronauts.
On February 20, 1962, Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission and became the first American to orbit the Earth and the fifth person in space, after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov and the sub-orbital missions of fellow Mercury Seven astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. Glenn resigned from NASA on January 16, 1964, and the next day announced plans to run for a U.S. Senate seat from Ohio. But injury from a bathtub concussion caused him to withdraw from the race the following March. He retired from the Marine Corps on January 1, 1965. A member of the Democratic Party, he finally won election to the Senate in 1974 and served through January 3, 1999.
Glenn received a Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. He was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990. On October 29, 1998, while still a sitting senator, he became the oldest person to fly in space, and the only one to fly in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle programs, when at age 77, he flew as a Payload Specialist on Discovery (STS-95). Glenn is also the earliest-born American to go to orbit, and the second earliest-born man overall after Soviet cosmonaut Georgy Beregovoy, who was born three months and three days earlier. With the death of Scott Carpenter on October 10, 2013, Glenn became the last surviving member of the Mercury 7. Also, with the death of Edward Brooke on January 3, 2015, Glenn became the oldest living former United States Senator.
John Glenn was born July 18, 1921, in Cambridge, Ohio, to John Glenn, Sr., and Teresa Glenn (née Sproat).[2] He was raised in New Concord, Ohio.[3]
After graduating from New Concord High School in 1939, he studied Engineering at Muskingum College. He earned a private pilot's license for credit in a physics course in 1941.[4]
When the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II, Glenn quit college to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps. However, he was never called to duty, and in March 1942 enlisted as a United States Navy aviation cadet. He trained at Naval Air Station Olathe, Kansas, where he made his first solo flight in a military aircraft. During his advanced training at the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, he was offered the chance to transfer to the U.S. Marine Corps and took it.[5]
Upon completing his training, Glenn was assigned to Marine squadron VMJ-353, flying R4D transport planes. He transferred to VMF-155 as an F4U Corsair fighter pilot, and flew 59 combat missions in the South Pacific.[6] He saw combat over the Marshall Islands, where he attacked anti-aircraft batteries on Maloelap Atoll. In 1945, he was assigned to Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, and was promoted to captain shortly before the war's end.
Glenn flew patrol missions in North China with the VMF-218 squadron, until it was transferred to Guam. In 1948 he became a flight instructor at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, Texas, followed by attending the amphibious warfare school.
During the Korean War, Glenn was assigned to VMF-311, flying the new F9F Panther jet interceptor. He flew his Panther in 63 combat missions, gaining the dubious nickname "magnet ass" from his alleged ability to attract enemy flak. On two occasions, he returned to his base with over 250 holes in his aircraft.[7] For a time, he flew as wingman of Ted Williams, a future Hall of Fame baseball player for the Boston Red Sox. He also flew with future Major General Ralph H. Spanjer.[8]
Glenn flew a second Korean combat tour in an interservice exchange program with the United States Air Force, 51st Fighter Wing. He logged 27 missions in the faster F-86F Sabre and shot down three MiG-15s near the Yalu River in the final days before the ceasefire.
Glenn returned to NAS Patuxent River, appointed to the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School (class 12). He served as an armament officer, flying planes to high altitude and testing their cannons and machine guns. On July 16, 1957, Glenn completed the first supersonic transcontinental flight in a Vought F8U-3P Crusader.
The flight from NAS Los Alamitos, California, to Floyd Bennett Field, New York, took 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8.3 seconds. As he passed over his hometown, a child in the neighborhood reportedly ran to the Glenn house shouting "Johnny dropped a bomb! Johnny dropped a bomb! Johnny dropped a bomb!" as the sonic boom shook the town. Project Bullet, the name of the mission, included both the first transcontinental flight to average supersonic speed (despite three in-flight refuelings during which speeds dropped below 300 mph), and the first continuous transcontinental panoramic photograph of the United States. For this mission Glenn received his fifth Distinguished Flying Cross.[9]
In 1958, the newly formed NASA began a recruiting program for astronauts. Requirements were that each had to be a military test pilot between the ages of 25 and 40 with sufficient flight hours, no more than 5'11" in height, and possess a degree in a scientific field. 508 pilots were subjected to rigorous mental and physical tests, and finally the selection was narrowed down to seven astronauts (Glenn, Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, Gordon Cooper, and Deke Slayton), who were introduced to the public at a NASA press conference in April 1959. Glenn just barely met the requirements as he was close to the age cutoff of 40 and also lacked the required science-based degree. During this time, he remained an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
Zero G, and I feel fine.
— Glenn's first words on becoming weightless upon reaching orbit, February 20, 1962, [10]
Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth, aboard Friendship 7 on February 20, 1962, on the Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, circling the globe three times during a flight lasting 4 hours, 55 minutes, and 23 seconds.[11] This made Glenn the third American in space and the fifth human being in space.
Perth, Western Australia became known worldwide as the "City of Light" when residents turned on their house, car and streetlights as Glenn passed overhead.[12][13] (The city repeated the act when Glenn rode the Space Shuttle in 1998).[14][15] During the first mission there was concern over a ground indication that his heat shield had come loose, which could allow it to fail during re-entry through the atmosphere, causing his capsule to burn up. Flight controllers had Glenn modify his re-entry procedure by keeping his retrorocket pack on over the shield in an attempt to keep it in place. He made his splashdown safely, and afterwards it was determined that the indicator was faulty.
As the first American in orbit, Glenn became a national hero, met President Kennedy, and received a ticker-tape parade in New York City, reminiscent of that given for Charles Lindbergh and other great dignitaries.
Glenn's fame and political attributes were noted by the Kennedys, and he became a personal friend of the Kennedy family. On February 23, 1962, President Kennedy escorted him in a parade to Hangar S at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, where he awarded Glenn with the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.
In July 1962 Glenn testified before the House Space Committee in favor of excluding women from the NASA astronaut program. Although NASA had no official policy prohibiting women, in practice the requirement that astronauts had to be military test pilots excluded them entirely.[16] The impact of the testimony of so prestigious a hero is debatable, but no female astronaut flew on a NASA mission until Sally Ride in 1983 (in the meantime, the Soviets had flown two women on space missions), and none piloted a mission until Eileen Collins in 1995, more than 30 years after the hearings. In the late 1970s, Glenn is reported to have supported Shuttle Mission Specialist Astronaut Judith Resnik in her career.[17]
Glenn resigned from NASA on January 16, 1964, and the next day announced his candidacy as a Democrat for the U.S. Senate from his home state of Ohio. On February 26, 1964, Glenn suffered a concussion from a slip and fall against a bathtub; this led him to withdraw from the race on March 30.[18][19]
Glenn then went on convalescent leave from the Marine Corps until he could make a full recovery, necessary for his retirement from the Marines. He retired on January 1, 1965, as a Colonel and entered the business world as an executive for Royal Crown Cola.
NASA psychologists had determined during Glenn's training that he was the astronaut best suited for public life.[20] Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy suggested to Glenn and his wife in December 1962 that he should run against incumbent United States Senator Stephen M. Young of Ohio in the 1964 Democratic primary election. In 1964 Glenn announced that he was resigning from the space program to run against Young, but withdrew when he hit his head on a bathtub. Glenn sustained a concussion and injured his inner ear, and recovery left him unable to campaign.[21] Glenn remained close to the Kennedy family and was with Robert Kennedy when he was assassinated in 1968.
In 1970, Glenn was narrowly defeated in the Democratic primary for nomination for the Senate by fellow Democrat Howard Metzenbaum, by a 51% to 49% margin. Metzenbaum lost the general election race to Robert Taft, Jr. In 1974, Glenn resisted Ohio governor John J. Gilligan and the Ohio Democratic party's demand that he run for Lieutenant Governor. Instead, he challenged Metzenbaum again, whom Gilligan had appointed[21] to the Senate to replace William B. Saxbe, who had resigned to become Attorney General of the United States.
In the primary race, Metzenbaum contrasted his strong business background with Glenn's military and astronaut credentials, saying his opponent had "never worked for a living". Glenn's reply came to be known as the "Gold Star Mothers" speech. He told Metzenbaum to go to a veterans' hospital and "look those men with mangled bodies in the eyes and tell them they didn't hold a job. You go with me to any Gold Star mother and you look her in the eye and tell her that her son did not hold a job." Many felt the "Gold Star Mothers" speech won the primary for Glenn.[citation needed] Glenn won the primary by 54 to 46%. After defeating Metzenbaum, Glenn defeated Ralph Perk, the Republican Mayor of Cleveland, in the general election, beginning a Senate career that would continue until 1999. In 1980, Glenn won re-election to the seat, defeating Republican challenger Jim Betts, by over 40 percentage points.
In 1986, Glenn defeated challenger U.S. Representative Tom Kindness. Metzenbaum would go on to seek a rematch against Taft in 1976, winning a close race on Jimmy Carter's coattails.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Glenn and Metzenbaum had strained relations. There was a thaw in 1983, when Metzenbaum endorsed Glenn for president, and again in 1988, when Metzenbaum was opposed for re-election by Cleveland mayor George Voinovich. Voinovich accused Metzenbaum of being soft on child pornography. Voinovich's charges were criticized by many, including Glenn, who now came to Metzenbaum's aid, recording a statement for television refuting Voinovich's charges. Metzenbaum won the election by 57% to 41%.
Glenn was one of the five U.S. senators caught up in the Lincoln Savings and Keating Five Scandal after accepting a $200,000 contribution from Charles Keating. Glenn and Republican senator John McCain were the only senators exonerated. The Senate Commission found that Glenn had exercised "poor judgment". The association of his name with the scandal gave Republicans hope that he would be vulnerable in the 1992 campaign. Instead, Glenn defeated Lieutenant Governor Mike DeWine to keep his seat, though his percentage was reduced to a career low of 51%. DeWine used the memorable campaign slogan, "What on earth has John Glenn done?"[22] This 1992 re-election victory was the last time a Democrat won a statewide race in Ohio until 2006; DeWine later won Metzenbaum's seat upon his retirement.
In 1976, Glenn was a candidate for the Democratic vice presidential nomination. However, Glenn's keynote address at the Democratic National Convention failed to impress the delegates and the nomination went to veteran politician Walter Mondale. Glenn also ran for the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination. A November 1983 New York Times/CBS News poll found him second, supported by 41% of those polled, to Mondale's 49%.
Glenn and his staff worried about the 1983 release of The Right Stuff, a film about the original seven Mercury astronauts based on the best-selling Tom Wolfe book of the same name. The book had depicted Glenn as a "zealous moralizer", and he did not attend the film's Washington premiere on October 16, 1983. Reviewers saw Ed Harris' portrayal of Glenn as heroic, however, and his staff immediately began to emphasize the film to the press. Aide Greg Schneiders suggested an unusual strategy, similar to Glenn's personal campaign and voting style, in which he would avoid appealing to narrow special interest groups and instead seek to win support from ordinary Democratic primary voters, the "constituency of the whole".[21] Mondale defeated Glenn for the nomination however, and he was left with $3 million in campaign debt for over 20 years before he was granted a reprieve by the Federal Election Commission.[23][24] He was a potential vice presidential running mate in 1984, 1988, and 1992.[citation needed]
During Glenn's time in the Senate, he was chief author of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978, served as chairman of the Committee on Governmental Affairs from 1987 until 1995, sat on the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees and the Special Committee on Aging. Once Republicans regained control of the Senate, Glenn also served as the ranking minority member on a special Senate investigative committee chaired by Tennessee senator Fred Dalton Thompson that looked into illegal foreign donations by China to U.S. political campaigns for the 1996 election. There was considerable acrimony between the two very high-profile senators during the life of this committee, which reached a level of public disagreement between the five leaders of a congressional committee seldom seen in recent years, amid allegations that Glenn suppressed these issues prior to his subsequent Space Shuttle flight which had to be approved by President Clinton.[25] In 1998, Glenn declined to run for re-election. Mary O. Boyle was the Democratic party nominee. She faced Republican nominee and sitting governor George Voinovich in the general election, which Voinovich won.
Glenn returned to space on the Space Shuttle on October 29, 1998, becoming, at age 77, the oldest person to go into space as a Payload Specialist on Discovery's STS-95 mission. According to the New York Times, Glenn "won his seat on the Shuttle flight by lobbying NASA for two years to fly as a human guinea pig for geriatric studies", which were named as the main reasons for his participation in the mission.[26] Glenn states in his memoir that he had no idea NASA was willing to send him back into space when NASA announced the decision.[27]
Glenn's participation in the nine-day mission was criticized by some in the space community as a political favor granted to Glenn by President Clinton.[citation needed] Others noted that Glenn's flight offered valuable research on weightlessness and other aspects of space flight on the same person at two points in life 36 years apart—by far the longest interval between space flights by the same person—providing information on the effects of spaceflight and weightlessness on the elderly, with an ideal control.[citation needed] Shortly before the flight, researchers learned that Glenn had to be disqualified from one of the flight's two main priority human experiments (about the effects of melatonin) because he did not meet one of study's medical conditions; he still participated in two other experiments about sleep monitoring and protein use.[26][28] Upon the safe return of the STS-95 crew, Glenn (and his crewmates) received another ticker-tape parade, making him the tenth, and latest, person to have received multiple ticker-tape parades in a lifetime (as opposed to that of a sports team).[29] Just prior to the flight, on October 15, 1998, and for several months after, the main causeway to the Johnson Space Center, NASA Road 1, was temporarily renamed "John Glenn Parkway".[30]
Glenn vehemently opposed the sending of Dennis Tito, the world's first space tourist, to the International Space Station on the grounds that Tito's trip served no scientific purpose.[31]
Glenn helped found the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy at The Ohio State University in 1998 to encourage public service. On July 22, 2006, the institute merged with OSU's School of Public Policy and Management to become the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. Today Glenn holds an adjunct professorship at the Glenn School.[32]
On April 6, 1943, Glenn married his childhood sweetheart, Anna Margaret Castor. Both Glenn and his wife attended Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio. He also was a member of the Stag Club Fraternity at Muskingum College.[citation needed]
Glenn was also one of the original owners for a Holiday Inn franchise near Orlando, Florida, that is today known as the Seralago Hotel & Suites.[33][34]
Glenn is an honorary member of the International Academy of Astronautics; a member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, Marine Corps Aviation Association, Order of Daedalians, National Space Club Board of Trustees, National Space Society Board of Governors, International Association of Holiday Inns, Ohio Democratic Party, State Democratic Executive Committee, Franklin County (Ohio) Democratic Party, and 10th District (Ohio) Democratic Action Club.[35]
A Freemason, Glenn is a member of Concord Lodge # 688 New Concord, Ohio, and DeMolay International, the Masonic youth organization, and is an ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church.[36]
Glen's name was used for the character of John Tracy in the 1960s children's TV series Thunderbirds.
Glenn's boyhood home in New Concord has been restored and made into an historic house museum and education center.[37]
In 2001, Glenn appeared as a guest star on the American television sitcom Frasier.[38]
On August 4, 2006, Glenn and his wife were injured in an automobile accident on I-270 near Columbus, Ohio, and were hospitalized for two days. Glenn suffered a "very sore chest" and a fractured sternum. Annie Glenn was treated for minor injuries. Glenn was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.[39]
On September 5, 2009, John and Annie Glenn dotted the "i" during The Ohio State University's Script Ohio marching band performance, at the Ohio State-Navy football game halftime show. Bob Hope, Woody Hayes, Buster Douglas, E. Gordon Gee, Novice Fawcett, Robert Ries, and Jack Nicklaus are the only other non-band members to have received this honor.[40]
On February 20, 2012, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Friendship 7 flight, Glenn was surprised with the opportunity to speak with the orbiting crew of the International Space Station while Glenn was on-stage with NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden at Ohio State, where the public affairs school is named for him.[41]
On April 19, 2012, Glenn participated in the ceremonial transfer of the retired Space Shuttle Discovery from NASA to the Smithsonian Institution for permanent display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. Speaking at the event, Glenn criticized the "unfortunate" decision to end the Space Shuttle program, expressing his opinion that grounding the shuttles delayed research.[42]

The NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, Ohio, is named after him. Also, Senator John Glenn Highway runs along a stretch of I-480 in Ohio across from the NASA Glenn Research Center. Colonel Glenn Highway, which runs by Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Wright State University near Dayton, Ohio, John Glenn High School in his hometown of New Concord, Ohio, and Col. John Glenn Elementary in Seven Hills, Ohio, are named for him as well. High Schools in Westland and Bay City, Michigan; Walkerton, Indiana; San Angelo, Texas; Elwood, Long Island, New York; and Norwalk, California were also named after him.
The fireboat John H. Glenn Jr. was named for him. This fireboat is operated by the DCFD and protects the sections of the Potomac River and the Anacostia River that run through Washington, D.C.
The USNS John Glenn (T-MLP-2), a mobile landing platform that is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in 2014 is named for him. It was christened February 1, 2014, in San Diego at General Dynamics' National Steel and Shipbuilding Company.[44]
In 1961, Glenn received an Honorary LL.D from Muskingum University, the college he had attended before joining the military in World War II. This was followed by earning his Bachelor of Science degree from Muskingum in 1962.[45]
He also received Honorary Doctorates from Nihon University in Tokyo, Japan, Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, and New Hampshire College in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Glenn was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1976.[46]
Glenn was inducted into the International Space Hall of Fame in 1977.[47]
In 1990, Glenn was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.[48]
In 2000, Glenn received the U.S. Senator John Heinz Award for Greatest Public Service by an Elected or Appointed Official, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.[49]
In 2004, Glenn was awarded the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars of the Smithsonian Institution.[50]
In 2009, Glenn received an Honorary LL.D from Williams College,[51] and in 2010, he received an Honorary Doctorate of Public Service from Ohio Northern University.[52]
In 2013, Flying magazine ranked Glenn No. 26 on their "51 Heroes of Aviation" list.[53]
On January 3, 2015, with the death of Edward Brooke, Glenn became the oldest former United States senator still living. Glenn is the 60th person to hold this distinction.
Now, here on Earth your body's immune system changes somewhat when you get older and you become less resistant to disease and infection. The same thing happens to younger astronauts in space over a period of time. Another one is, as you get older, your body's ability to replace protein in the muscles becomes less, and the same thing happens to younger astronauts during long-term space flight. There are several other things like that.

"The card design was perfect. Everyone we sent cards to raved about it. The paper quality was great and the price was fantastic."
"The cards I ordered came quicker than expected and were wonderful quality. Tinyprints was the only company I could find that had Holiday Cards that were also Birth Announcements."
"I chose this design because I couldn't pick just one or two pictures from our newborn session to use, and this was a great way to choose 5 without it seeming cluttered. It was the perfect choice to introduce our baby!"
"This was my first time using tinyprints.com. I was very happy with the ease of personalization of the card, the quality of the card stock, the option to have a designer review the card, and the speed of delivery. The ability to have different shapes for the edge of the card is such a nice touch. My cards came out just as pictured on the screen. Very pleased and would order again in the future."

Enter prankster magician Rahat. Armed with an orange puffy vest, Rahat went to a local park and tried to see how many people would believe he was actually using a hoverboard.
As expected, the reactions were pretty priceless, and almost everyone believed he was floating in the air!
So how does he pull off the stunt? He's not giving away his secret, but he explains in the video that it's a combination of a magician's levitation trick with what looks like a hoverboard attached to his feet.
The video has gone viral with more than 391,000 views since it was posted on Wednesday.

By Mia Fitzharris | Trending Now – Wed, Feb 4, 2015An Italian grandmother is gaining worldwide renown for more than just her nonstop love and delicious cooking. In a new video uploaded to YouTube by Alberto Ascoli, an 84-year-old grandmother tries her hand at bowling for the very first time.
Dressed in what most of us go bowling in (a long black coat with a furry collar), grandma steps up to the lane, releases the ball, and then … STRIKE! On her first try she knocks down all 10 pins. Nearly everyone at the bowling alley takes notice and starts to cheer and applaud.
Just like the crowd at the bowling alley, we can't help but cheer for her. And now she's even got her own Facebook fan page — The Italian Grandma, subtitled "Athlete."The lesson here is either "It's never too late to try new things" or "Beware of hustling grandmas who pretend they have never bowled before."

Every day, 82-year-old Bud Caldwell delivers a daisy and a penny to a park bench in Fond du Lac, Wis., that he bought and dedicated to his late wife, Betty. His gifts are tributes to the couple's favorite songs from their 56 years together, "Daisy a Day" and "Pennies From Heaven."
But after snow blanketed the walkway leading up to the bench, Caldwell had to alter his daily routine — he still went to the park every day, but he stayed in his car. Two park workers, Jerrod Ebert and Kevin Schultz, noticed Caldwell's shift in routine. They shoveled the walkway to Betty's bench so that Caldwell could make his daily visit.
"We both commented that we just can't have this," Ebert said. "We've got to make sure he can get to his bench and talk to his wife."
Betty passed away two years ago, and Caldwell has taken comfort in his daily visit to the park bench he bought and dedicated in her honor.
"Two young men did such a nice thing for an old man," he

WordPress is a free and open-source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL.[5] Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. WordPress was used by more than 23.2% of the top 10 million websites as of August 2013[update].[6] WordPress is the most popular blogging system in use on the Web,[7] at more than 60 million websites.[8]
It was first released on May 27, 2003, by its founders, Matt Mullenweg[1] and Mike Little,[9] as a fork of b2/cafelog. The license under which WordPress software is released is the GPLv2 (or later) from the Free Software Foundation.[10]
WordPress has a web template system using a template processor.
WordPress users may install and switch between themes. Themes allow users to change the look and functionality of a WordPress website or installation without altering the information content or structure of the site. Themes may be installed using the WordPress "Appearance" administration tool or theme folders may be uploaded via FTP.[11] The PHP, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) code found in themes can be added to or edited for providing advanced features. Thousands of WordPress themes exist, some free, and some paid for templates. WordPress users may also create and develop their own custom themes if they have the knowledge and skill to do so.
WordPress's plugin architecture allows users to extend its features. WordPress has over 30,000 plugins available,[12] each of which offers custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their sites to their specific needs. These customizations range from search engine optimization, to client portals[13] used to display private information to logged in users, to content displaying features, such as the addition of widgets and navigation bars.
Native applications exist for WebOS,[14] Android,[15] iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad),[16][17] Windows Phone, and BlackBerry.[18] These applications, designed by Automattic, allow a limited set of options, which include adding new blog posts and pages, commenting, moderating comments, replying to comments in addition to the ability to view the stats.[16][17]
WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine–friendly, clean permalink structure; the ability to assign multiple categories to articles; and support for tagging of posts and articles. Automatic filters are also included, providing standardized formatting and styling of text in articles (for example, converting regular quotes to smart quotes). WordPress also supports the Trackback and Pingback standards for displaying links to other sites that have themselves linked to a post or an article.
Prior to version 3, WordPress supported one blog per installation, although multiple concurrent copies may be run from different directories if configured to use separate database tables. WordPress Multisites (previously referred to as WordPress Multi-User, WordPress MU, or WPMU) was a fork of WordPress created to allow multiple blogs to exist within one installation but is able to be administered by a centralized maintainer. WordPress MU makes it possible for those with websites to host their own blogging communities, as well as control and moderate all the blogs from a single dashboard. WordPress MS adds eight new data tables for each blog...
As of the release of WordPress 3, WordPress MU has merged with WordPress.[19]
b2/cafelog, more commonly known as simply b2 or cafelog, was the precursor to WordPress.[20] b2/cafelog was estimated to have been installed on approximately 2,000 blogs as of May 2003.[21] It was written in PHP for use with MySQL by Michel Valdrighi, who is now a contributing developer to WordPress. Although WordPress is the official successor, another project, b2evolution, is also in active development.
WordPress first appeared in 2003 as a joint effort between Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little to create a fork of b2.[22] Christine Selleck Tremoulet, a friend of Mullenweg, suggested the name WordPress.[23][24]
In 2004 the licensing terms for the competing Movable Type package were changed by Six Apart and many of its most influential users migrated to WordPress.[25][26] By October 2009 the 2009 Open Source content management system Market Share Report reached the conclusion that WordPress enjoyed the greatest brand strength of any open-source content-management systems.[27]
Main releases of WordPress are codenamed after well-known jazz musicians, starting after version 1.0.[28]
Legend: | Old version | Older version, still supported | Current version | Future release |
Version | Code name | Release date | Notes |
0.7 | none | 27 May 2003 [29] | Used the same file structure as its predecessor, b2/cafelog, and continued the numbering from its last release, 0.6.[30] Only 0.71-gold is available for download in the official WordPress Release Archive page. |

We hope to ship WordPress 4.1 on Tuesday, December 16, but we need your help to get there. If you haven't tested 4.1 yet, now is the time! (Please though, not on your live site unless you're adventurous." |
Matt Mullenweg has stated that the future of WordPress is in social, mobile, and as an application platform.[56][57]
Many security issues[58][59] have been uncovered in the software, particularly in 2007 and 2008. According to Secunia, WordPress in April 2009 had 7 unpatched security advisories (out of 32 total), with a maximum rating of "Less Critical."[60] Secunia maintains an up-to-date list of WordPress vulnerabilities.[61][62]
In January 2007, many high profile search engine optimization (SEO) blogs, as well as many low-profile commercial blogs featuring AdSense, were targeted and attacked with a WordPress exploit.[63] A separate vulnerability on one of the project site's web servers allowed an attacker to introduce exploitable code in the form of a back door to some downloads of WordPress 2.1.1. The 2.1.2 release addressed this issue; an advisory released at the time advised all users to upgrade immediately.[64]
In May 2007, a study revealed that 98% of WordPress blogs being run were exploitable because they were running outdated and unsupported versions of the software.[65] In part to mitigate this problem, WordPress made updating the software a much easier, "one click" automated process in version 2.7 (released in December 2008).[66] However, the filesystem security settings required to enable the update process can be an additional risk.[67]
In a June 2007 interview, Stefan Esser, the founder of the PHP Security Response Team, spoke critically of WordPress's security track record, citing problems with the application's architecture that made it unnecessarily difficult to write code that is secure from SQL injection vulnerabilities, as well as some other problems.[68]
In June 2013, it was found that some of the 50 most downloaded WordPress plugins were vulnerable to common Web attacks such as SQL injection and XSS. A separate inspection of the top-10 e-commerce plugins showed that 7 of them were vulnerable.[69]
In an effort to promote better security, and to streamline the update experience overall, automatic background updates were introduced in WordPress 3.7.[70]
Individual installations of WordPress can be protected with security plugins.[71] Users can also protect their WordPress installations by taking steps such as keeping all WordPress installation, themes, and plugins updated, using only trusted themes and plugins,[72] editing the site's .htaccess file to prevent many types of SQL injection attacks and block unauthorized access to sensitive files.[73]
Developers can also use tools to analyze potential vulnerabilities, including Wordpress Auditor or Wordpress Sploit Framework developed by 0pc0deFR. These types of tools research known vulnerabilities, such as a XSS or SQL injection. Some vulnerabilities can not be detected by the tools, so it is advisable to check the code from other developers.
Independent analyst firm Real Story Group evaluates WordPress as a Web content management system CMS.[74] In a 2014 analysis, the firm argued that growing enterprise demand for WordPress was part of a broader push for "embracing greater simplicity" in web publishing.[75]
Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little were cofounders of the project. The core contributing developers include Ryan Boren, Mark Jaquith, Matt Mullenweg, Andrew Ozz, Peter Westwood and Andrew Nacin.[76]
WordPress is also developed by its community, including WP testers, a group of volunteers who test each release.[77] They have early access to nightly builds, beta versions and release candidates. Errors are documented in a special mailing list, or the project's Trac tool.
Though largely developed by the community surrounding it, WordPress is closely associated with Automattic, the company founded by Matt Mullenweg. On September 9, 2010, Automattic handed the WordPress trademark to the newly created WordPress Foundation, which is an umbrella organization supporting WordPress.org (including the software and archives for plugins and themes), bbPress and BuddyPress.
"WordCamp" is the name given to all WordPress-related gatherings, both informal unconferences and more formal conferences.[78] The first such event was WordCamp 2006 in August 2006 in San Francisco, which lasted one day and had over 500 attendees.[79][80] The first WordCamp outside San Francisco was held in Beijing in September 2007.[81] Since then, there have been over 350 WordCamps in over 150 cities in 48 different countries around the world.[81] WordCamp San Francisco, an annual event, remains the official annual conference of WordPress developers and users.[82][83]
WordPress's primary support website is WordPress.org. This support website hosts both WordPress Codex, the online manual for WordPress and a living repository for WordPress information and documentation,[84] and WordPress Forums, an active online community of WordPress users.[85]
b2 had actually, through a series of circumstances, essentially become abandoned.

I will continue to purchase this item and the distributor, Vitality, offered excellent service,Product Rating 11|0 - great product
I use this every day to help loosen mucous plugs in lungs, pour it into trach hole directly into lungs and let it set 30 seconds or so and am back to clear breathing. Can also use to nebulize and inhale. I have tried the expensive stuff, I find no difference. How much difference can there be for sterile water and salt.
Product Rating 2|0 - Excellent
I use these to fill my scleral lenses. Product was just what I needed, but the price and service couldn't be beat! Arrived much sooner than I anticipated! Will definitely order from Vitality Medical again!

It's not so much the system itself compared to MS themselves. They had an idea, they had beliefs. Rather than continuing with those ideas and beliefs and perhaps some alterations due to the feedback, they pulled a 180 and removed nearly everything that made the XBox One unique for one reason only; pre-order numbers. Don't need to remind anyone the backlask and tears that streamed down the cheeks of many once all the features came to light. This is of course my opinion and I don't want to speak for others - but If they had intentions for the "gamers", then they would not have implemented the DRM, mandatory Kinect, mandatory online, etc. features in the FIRST place. They would have found another way to revolutionize gaming and pushed the industry further. So it all boils down to a matter of trust with MS and it has been severely broken. They're now in full out PR Damage control mode and at times...makes them look helpless, hopeless and disorganized. That's the reason why I snap at those who say "oh they did the 180 and changed everything for the gamers" because they DIDN'T. Get that through your thick heads. They've probably invested billions in R&D, contracts, etc. for the Xbox One, you think they would just let that all go to waste on a leap of faith? Also - they boast about how Kinect 2.0 will revolutionize, but...have we actually seen any real-time demos showing off the Kinect 2.0 minus a few tech/PR demos? If Kinect 2.0 is truly the game-changer that jumps the price $100 more than the PS4, I'm not very convinced. Lastly - I just prefer PS4 exclusives over Xbox exclusives. This current gen, X360 really ran dry on exclusives compared to Sony which released TLOU, Heavy Rain and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls. They also gave us the Uncharted trilogy this gen. Ok, rambling over. --- PSN ID - Frdranger |
