UCLA wearing black 'L.A. Midnight' alternates
UCLA is breaking out its black "L.A. Midnight" alternates for the Sun Bowl, which likely makes most of the Bruins very happy.
A couple of pieces for pre-game reading:
– Two former Bruins have fond memories of the 2005 Sun Bowl.
– Jill Painter's column on UCLA's good behavior in El Paso.
Jim Mora 'hopeful' Brett Hundley will stay at UCLA
After UCLA's win over USC on Nov. 30, head coach Jim Mora seized the moment. During a live postgame interview, he attempted to rope star quarterback Brett Hundley into committing to another year in college.
It didn't work — Hundley demurred on his NFL draft decision — but a month later, Mora remained optimistic heading into a Sun Bowl matchup against Virginia Tech.
Asked today if he's thought about the redshirt sophomore potentially playing his final game as a Bruin, the coach said: "I don't think it will be. I'm very hopeful it won't be."
Earlier this week, Hundley said he had not yet received feedback from the NFL draft advisory board, and remains uncertain about his future. Continue reading
Coordinator Noel Mazzone grades UCLA's offensive line
Today's notebook focuses again on UCLA's trio of freshman linemen, whom offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone gave a B-/C+ grade.
– As he's done all weeek, UCLA head coach Jim Mora continued lauding the virtues of El Paso and the Sun Bowl.
"What I've really enjoyed about the Sun Bowl is the events," he said. "I'll tell you why: a lot of bowl games — not that I've been to a lot — is you go to events and you kind of separate. They've done a great job at the Sun Bowl of creating events where you come together. Our team has gotten to spend a whole lot of time together." Continue reading
Tony Parker big down stretch in UCLA's 75-67 win over Alabama
In the final minute against Alabama, Tony Parker had a block, two rebounds and made both of his free throws to give UCLA a 75-67 victory in the final tuneup at Pauley Pavilion before Pac-12 play begins.
Parker was a 43 percent free-throw shooter before Saturday's game, where he made 80 percent (4 of 5), including two with 56 seconds left.
"That's (been weighing) big on me," Parker said. "I thought I was a better free-throw throw shooter. I keep shooting them in practice. It's big for me and my game because I will get fouled a lot." Continue reading
Sun Bowl at a glance: No. 17 UCLA vs. Virginia Tech
No. 17 UCLA (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) vs. Virginia Tech (8-4, 5-3 ACC)
Location: Sun Bowl Stadium, El Paso, Texas; Dec. 31, 11 a.m. PT
TV: CBS (Verne Lundquist, Gary Danielson, Tracy Wolfson)
Radio: AM 570 (Chris Roberts, Matt Stevens, Wayne Cook)
Last meeting: This is the first meeting between Virginia Tech and UCLA.
Key storylines: Only seven UCLA teams have ever won 10 games in a season, the last one being the 2005 squad helmed by Drew Olson. Jim Mora has the Bruins on the right path with a second straight nine-win campaign despite a tougher schedule, but getting that double-digit milestone would make a nice selling point for the program. Continue reading
UCLA running backs all healthy for the first time
At long last, UCLA will have a full stable of backs. Head coach Jim Mora said starter Jordon James, Paul Perkins, Damien Thigpen, Malcolm Jones and Steve Manfro should be 100 percent healthy heading into the Sun Bowl next Tuesday.
"They all looked really sharp out here today," Mora said. "It's probably been since training camp that we can say that. … It's probably the first game that they've all been ready to go. So we'll have to find a way to get them all reps." Continue reading
Isaako Savaiinaea ready for larger role in Sun Bowl
With inside linebacker Eric Kendricks sidelined following ankle surgery, UCLA will rely instead on true freshman Isaako Savaiinaea.
Replacing the team's leading tackler won't be easy, but Savaiinaea has some experience trying to fill the void. After playing nearly an entire half at Stanford on Oct. 19 after Kendricks left with injury, the Hawaii native got his first career start two weeks later in a win over Colorado. He had six solo tackles.
"It was night and day," Savaiinaea said of the two outings. "There was a big difference (in) … my patience and my feet. I had a little happy feet at Stanford. Just calming that down. Technique. That was the main thing."
Defensive lineman Brandon Tuliaupupu to transfer out
After sitting out this season with a torn ACL, redshirt sophomore Brandon Tuliaupupu will transfer out of UCLA. The defensive lineman has already been removed from the team's official roster. According to the Los Angeles Times, his likely destinations are Cal Poly, UC Davis or Sacramento State.
During spring practices, Tuliaupupu had split first-team reps at nose tackle with senior Seali'i Epenesa before injuring his knee. Once the season progressed, however, even Epenesa lost reps to true freshman Kenny Clark — who ended the season with two official starts, but was playing a de facto first-string role by the end of the season.
Redshirt freshman Eli Ankou is the only other nose tackle listed on the depth chart, though sophomore Ellis McCarthy can also play there. UCLA has a verbal commitment from 2014 tackle Ainuu Taua, rated the ninth-best prospect in California by Rivals.com.
Pac-12 links: Wilcox, Aliotti leaving Washington, Oregon
– Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti will retire after 21 seasons (over three stints) with the Ducks. The 59-year-old spent the 1998 season at UCLA prior to his most recent stretch in Eugene.
– Washington defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox will join Steve Sarkisian at USC after the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
– Forbes examines the importance of luck in the rise of Oregon football. Continue reading

areas of particular interest to ongoing or planned scientific research; and
areas of outstanding geological, glaciological, or geomorphological features.
Although no subglacial lake has so far been proposed as an ASPA, the legislation would allow one or several to be so designated under the categories listed above. Such a proposal could be put forward by any Consultative Party or by SCAR.
Exploring subglacial aquatic environments, and especially lakes, is an activity that is expected to begin, and grow, in the coming years. The pursuit of scientific knowledge needs to be balanced against cleanliness, yet it is expected that as technology develops, so will the ability to sample more cleanly and explore these lakes. As a simple rule, exploration of these lakes should always be conducted with the cleanest technology possible.
However, the relatively high number of known subglacial lakes affords the possibility of designating lakes for different kinds of exploration, recognizing that one type of investigation may undermine other types of science in that particular lake. For example, remotely operated vehicles or probes could be released into a lake to measure and transmit back physical properties of the lake such as temperature, water current velocities and directions, and salinity. Such probes may not be held to the highest standards of cleanliness that would be required of sampling microbes, probably making the lake unsuitable for microbiology.
It is important that lessons learned in exploring a particular lake be transmitted quickly and effectively to the broader scientific community and that all progress in this field be adequately documented for each site. In this way, technology can advance as quickly as possible. Also, the issue of the interconnectedness of lakes, which if high could restrict the exploration strategy or if low would open the exploration strategy, needs to be carefully monitored and updated.
In approaching subglacial aquatic research in the immediate short term, the practical imperatives of the Antarctic Treaty—scientific collaboration, logistic cooperation, and the free exchange of data—provide an unrivaled framework for planning and development. There are important scientific goals to achieve in a difficult and expensive operating environment where jointly planned international activities will maximize the value to all humankind while ensuring that the latest technology is available to pursue these objectives. Evidence from deep ice core drilling shows just how effective this approach can be.
To ensure that the best possible advice was available to all countries interested in subglacial lakes, SCAR established a Group of Experts (which now has 14 specialist members from nine countries) and publishes its workshop outputs online. Research into the subglacial lakes is now one of the five major programs adopted by SCAR for the next 5-10 years, and details of research proposals are on the SALE (Subglacial Antarctic Lake Exploration) web site at http://salepo.tamu.edu/scar_sale. This web site also provides links to both the International Polar Year (IPY) SALE UNITED (Unified Team for Exploration and Discovery) project, which lists all the proposed subglacial

I would probably just drive a plug in the hole. Just something to hold the bit while you get it started. Wood or plastic will work OK. If you have time you could use thickened epoxy but that is overkill. Depends on what you have handy.Drill from both sides, just a little from the inside and finish from the outside.

One issue is the definition of "nuclear weapons capability." There is a vast difference between having the capability to produce nuclear weapons and actually doing so.
It is not irrational to argue that Iran already possesses "nuclear weapons capability" and has had it for some years. The Iranians possess the uranium and the ability to enrich it and may be nearing a plutonium reprocessing capability. They certainly have the scientific and technical expertise to produce a weapon given the time and a political decision to do so.
The resolution also calls for "the full and sustained suspension of all uranium enrichment-related and reprocessing activities." In other words, it would seem to have Iran give up most if not all of its nuclear programs, peaceful and otherwise.
There is a legitimate dispute as to whether Iran has the right under the nonproliferation treaty (NPT) to have full nuclear fuel cycle capability. But this dispute must be decided by negotiation, not a resolution.
Iran is an NPT signatory but has not fully complied with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection and other procedures. A negotiated agreement wherein Iran retains a civilian nuclear program, as it is entitled to under the NPT with IAEA inspections and safeguards, would resolve this dispute and ease fears of an Iranian nuclear weapons program.
But the resolution has another problem beyond the capability issues. It asserts that containment is not an acceptable outcome. President Obama has already made this clear, so why object to the resolution?

George Gordon Meade (December 31, 1815 – November 6, 1872) was a career United States Army officer and civil engineer involved in coastal construction, including several lighthouses. He fought with distinction in the Second Seminole War and the Mexican-American War. During the American Civil War he served as a Union general, rising from command of a brigade to the Army of the Potomac. He is best known for defeating Confederate General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863.
Meade's Civil War combat experience started as a brigade commander in the Peninsula Campaign and the Seven Days Battles, including the Battle of Glendale, where he was wounded severely. As a division commander he had notable success at the Battle of South Mountain and assumed temporary corps command at the Battle of Antietam. His division was arguably the most successful during the assaults at the Battle of Fredericksburg.
During the Gettysburg Campaign, he was appointed to command the Army of the Potomac just three days before the Battle of Gettysburg, but was able to organize his forces to fight a successful defensive battle against Robert E. Lee. This victory was marred by his ineffective pursuit during the Retreat from Gettysburg, by the inconclusive campaigns in the fall of 1863, and by intense political rivalries within the Army, notably with Daniel Sickles.
In 1864–65, Meade continued to command the Army of the Potomac through the Overland Campaign, the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, and the Appomattox Campaign, but he was overshadowed by the direct supervision of the general in chief, Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who accompanied him throughout these campaigns. He also suffered from a reputation as a man of short, violent temper who was hostile toward the press and received hostility in return. After the war he commanded several important departments during Reconstruction.
Meade was born in Cádiz, Spain, eighth of eleven children of Richard Worsam Meade (1778–1828) and Margaret Coats Butler (1782–1852). His brother, Richard Worsam Meade II, was a future naval officer. His father, a wealthy Philadelphia merchant serving in Spain as a naval agent for the U.S. government, was ruined financially because of his support of Spain in the Napoleonic Wars and died in 1828 while Meade was not yet a teenager. His family returned to the United States in 1817, in precarious financial straits. Young George attended the Mount Hope Institution in Baltimore and entered the United States Military Academy (West Point) in 1831, chosen primarily for financial reasons. He graduated 19th in his class of 56 cadets in 1835. For a year, he served with the 3rd U.S. Artillery in Florida, fighting against the Seminole Indians, before resigning from the Army, a career he had not intended to pursue, even while attending West Point. He worked as a civil engineer for the Alabama, Georgia, and Florida Railroad and for the War Department. On December 31, 1840, he married Margaretta Sergeant, daughter of John Sergeant, running mate of Henry Clay in the 1832 presidential election. They had seven children together (John Sergeant Meade, Col. George Meade, Margaret Butler Meade, Spencer Meade, Sarah Wise Meade, Henrietta Meade, and William Meade). Finding steady civilian employment was difficult for the newly married man, so he reentered the army in 1842 as a second lieutenant in the Corps of Topographical Engineers.[1]
Meade served in the Mexican-American War, assigned to the staffs of Generals Zachary Taylor, William J. Worth, and Robert Patterson, and was brevetted to first lieutenant for gallant conduct at the Battle of Monterrey. After that war he was chiefly involved in lighthouse and breakwater construction and coastal surveying in Florida and New Jersey. He designed Barnegat Light on Long Beach Island, Absecon Light in Atlantic City, Cape May Light in Cape May, Jupiter Inlet Light in Jupiter, Florida, and Sombrero Key Light in the Florida Keys.[2] He also designed a hydraulic lamp that was adopted by the Lighthouse Board for use in American lighthouses. He was promoted to captain in 1856.[3]
In 1857, Meade relieved Lt. Col. James Kearney on the Lakes Survey mission of the Great Lakes. Completion of the survey of Lake Huron and extension of the surveys of Lake Michigan down to Grand and Little Traverse Bays were done under his command. Prior to Captain Meade's command, Great Lakes' water level readings were taken locally with temporary gauges; a uniform plane of reference had not been established. In 1858, based on his recommendation, instrumentation was set in place for the tabulation of records across the basin. In 1860, the first detailed report of Great Lakes was published.[4] Meade stayed with the Lakes Survey until the 1861 outbreak of the Civil War.
Meade was promoted from captain to brigadier general of volunteers on August 31, 1861, a few months after the start of the Civil War, based on the strong recommendation of Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin. He was assigned command of the 2nd Brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves, recruited early in the war, which he led competently, initially in the construction of defenses around Washington, D.C. His brigade joined Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac for the Peninsula Campaign. At the Battle of Glendale, one of the Seven Days Battles, Meade was severely wounded in the arm, back, and side. He partially recovered his strength in time for the Northern Virginia Campaign and the Second Battle of Bull Run, in which he led his brigade, then assigned to Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell's corps of the Army of Virginia. His brigade made a heroic stand on Henry House Hill to protect the rear of the retreating Union Army. At the start of the Maryland Campaign a few days later, he received command of the 3rd Division, I Corps, Army of the Potomac, and distinguished himself during the Battle of South Mountain. When Meade's brigade stormed the heights at South Mountain, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, his corps commander, was heard to exclaim, "Look at Meade! Why, with troops like those, led in that way, I can win anything!" In the Battle of Antietam, Meade replaced the wounded Hooker in command of I Corps, selected personally by McClellan over other generals his superior in rank. He performed well at Antietam, but was wounded in the thigh.[5]
During the Battle of Fredericksburg, Meade's division made the only breakthrough of the Confederate lines, spearheading through a gap in Lt. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's corps at the southern end of the battlefield. For this action, Meade was promoted to major general of volunteers, to rank from November 29, 1862. However, his attack was not reinforced, resulting in the loss of much of his division. After the battle, he received command of V Corps, which he led in the Battle of Chancellorsville the following spring. General Hooker, then commanding the Army of the Potomac, had grand, aggressive plans for the campaign, but was too timid in execution, allowing the Confederates to seize the initiative. Meade's corps was left in reserve for most of the battle, contributing to the Union defeat. Afterward, Meade argued strongly with Hooker for resuming the attack against Lee, but to no avail.[6]
Hooker resigned from command of the Army of the Potomac while pursuing Lee in the Gettysburg Campaign.[7] In the early morning hours of June 28, 1863, a messenger from President Abraham Lincoln arrived to inform Meade of his appointment as Hooker's replacement. Meade was taken by surprise and later wrote to his wife that when the officer entered his tent to wake him, he assumed that Army politics had caught up with him and he was being arrested. He had not actively sought command and was not the president's first choice. John F. Reynolds, one of four major generals who outranked Meade in the Army of the Potomac, had earlier turned down the president's suggestion that he take over.[8]
Meade assumed command at Prospect Hall in Frederick, Maryland.[9] Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was invading Pennsylvania and, as a former corps commander, Meade had little knowledge of the disposition of the rest of his new army. Only three days later he confronted Lee in the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1 to 3, 1863, when he won the battle that is considered a turning point of the war. The battle began almost by accident, as the result of a chance meeting engagement between Confederate infantry and Union cavalry in Gettysburg on July 1. By the end of the first day, two Union infantry corps had been almost destroyed, but had taken up positions on favorable ground. Meade rushed the remainder of his army to Gettysburg and skillfully deployed his forces for a defensive battle, reacting swiftly to fierce assaults on his line's left, right, and center, culminating in Lee's disastrous assault on the center, known as Pickett's Charge.[10]
During the three days, Meade made excellent use of capable subordinates, such as Maj. Gens. John F. Reynolds and Winfield S. Hancock, to whom he delegated great responsibilities. Unfortunately for Meade's reputation, he did not skillfully manage the political manipulators he inherited from Hooker. Maj. Gens. Daniel Sickles, III Corps commander, and Daniel Butterfield, Meade's chief of staff, caused him difficulty later in the war, questioning his command decisions and courage. Sickles had developed a personal vendetta against Meade because of Sickles's allegiance to Joseph Hooker, whom Meade replaced, and because of controversial disagreements at Gettysburg. (Sickles had either mistakenly or deliberately disregarded Meade's orders about placing his corps in the defensive line, which led to that corps' destruction and placed the entire army at risk on the second day of battle.) Radical Republicans in the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War suspected that Meade was a Copperhead and tried in vain to relieve him from command.[11]
Following their severe losses at Gettysburg, General Lee's army retreated back to Virginia. Meade was criticized by President Lincoln and others for not aggressively pursuing the Confederates during their retreat. At one point, the Army of Northern Virginia was extremely vulnerable with their backs to the rain-swollen, almost impassable Potomac River, but was able to erect strong defensive positions before Meade could organize an effective attack. Lincoln believed that this wasted an opportunity to end the war. Nonetheless, Meade received a promotion to brigadier general in the regular army and the Thanks of Congress, which commended Meade "... and the officers and soldiers of [the Army of the Potomac], for the skill and heroic valor which at Gettysburg repulsed, defeated, and drove back, broken and dispirited, beyond the Rappahannock, the veteran army of the rebellion."[12] Meade wrote the following to his wife after meeting President Lincoln:
"Yesterday I received an order to repair to Washington, to see the President. ... The President was, as he always is, very considerate and kind. He found no fault with my operations, although it was very evident he was disappointed that I had not got a battle out of Lee. He coincided with me that there was not much to be gained by any farther advance; but General Halleck was very urgent that something should be done, but what that something was he did not define. As the Secretary of War was absent in Tennessee, final action was postponed till his return."[13]
—General Meade
For the remainder of the fall campaigning season in 1863, during both the Bristoe Campaign and the Mine Run Campaign, Meade was outmaneuvered by Lee and withdrew after fighting minor, inconclusive battles, because of his reluctance to attack entrenched positions.[14]
Meade was a competent and outwardly modest man, although correspondence with his wife throughout the war suggests he was disguising his ego and ambition. A London newspaperman described Meade: "He is a very remarkable looking man—tall, spare, of a commanding figure in presence, his manner pleasant and easy but having much dignity. His head is partially bald and is small and compact, but the forehead is high. He has the late Duke of Wellington class of nose, and his eyes, which have a serious and almost sad expression, are rather sunken, or appear so from the prominence of the curve nasal appearance. He has a decidedly patrician and distinguished appearance." Meade's short temper earned him notoriety, and while he was respected by most of his peers, he was not well loved by his army. Some referred to him as "a damned old goggle-eyed snapping turtle."[15]
When Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was appointed commander of all Union armies in March 1864, Meade offered to resign. He stated the task at hand was of such importance that he would not stand in the way of Grant choosing the right man for the job and offered to serve wherever placed. Grant assured Meade he had no intentions of replacing him. Grant later wrote that this incident gave him a more favorable opinion of Meade than the great victory at Gettysburg.[16]
Grant made his headquarters with Meade for the remainder of the war, which caused Meade to chafe at the close supervision he received. Following an incident in June 1864, in which Meade disciplined reporter Edward Cropsey from The Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper for an unfavorable article, all of the press assigned to his army agreed to mention Meade only in conjunction with setbacks. Meade apparently knew nothing of this arrangement, and the reporters giving all of the credit to Grant angered Meade.[17]
Additional differences caused further friction between Grant and Meade. Waging a war of attrition in his Overland Campaign against Robert E. Lee, Grant was willing to suffer previously unacceptable losses with the knowledge that the Union Army had replacement soldiers available, whereas the Confederates did not. Meade, despite his aggressive performance in lesser commands in 1862, had become a more cautious general and more concerned about the futility of attacking entrenched positions. Most of the bloody repulses his army suffered in the Overland Campaign were ordered by Grant, although the aggressive maneuvering that eventually cornered Lee in the trenches around Petersburg were Grant's initiative as well. Meade was additionally frustrated by the manner in which Grant sometimes gave preferable treatment to subordinates that he brought with him from the Western Theater. A primary example of this was Grant's interference with Meade's direction of Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan's Cavalry Corps. Meade had insisted that Sheridan's troopers perform traditional cavalry functions of reconnaissance, screening, and guarding the army's trains, but Sheridan objected and told Meade that he could "whip Stuart" if Meade let him. Meade reported the conversation to Grant, who replied, "Well, he generally knows what he is talking about. Let him start right out and do it." Meade deferred to Grant's judgment and issued orders to Sheridan to "proceed against the enemy's cavalry" and from May 9 through May 24, sent him on a raid toward Richmond, directly challenging the Confederate cavalry.[18]
Although Meade generally performed effectively under Grant's supervision in the Overland Campaign and the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, a few instances of bad judgment marred his legacy. During the Battle of Cold Harbor, Meade inadequately supervised his corps commanders and did not insist they perform reconnaissance before their disastrous frontal assault. Inexplicably, Meade wrote to his wife immediately after the attack and expressed pride that it was he who ordered the attack. During the initial assaults on Petersburg, Meade again failed to coordinate the attacks of his corps before General Lee could reinforce the line, resulting in the ten-month stalemate, the Siege of Petersburg. He approved the plan of Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside to plant explosives in a mine shaft dug underneath the Confederate line east of Petersburg, but at the last minute he changed Burnside's plan to lead the attack with a well-trained African-American division that was highly drilled just for this action, instructing him to take a politically less risky course and substitute an untrained and poorly led white division. The resulting Battle of the Crater was one of the great fiascoes of the war. In all of these cases, Grant bears some of the responsibility for approving Meade's plans, but Meade's performance was not at the same level of competence he displayed on other occasions.[19]
After Spotsylvania, Grant requested that Meade be promoted to major general of the regular army. In a telegram to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton on May 13, 1864, Grant stated that "Meade has more than met my most sanguine expectations. He and [William T.] Sherman are the fittest officers for large commands I have come in contact with."[20] Meade felt slighted that his well-deserved promotion was processed after that of Sherman and Philip Sheridan, the latter his subordinate.[21] However, his date of rank meant that he was outranked at the end of the war only by Grant, Halleck, and Sherman.[22] Although he fought during the Appomattox Campaign, Grant and Sheridan received most of the credit. He was not present when Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House.[17]
Meade's decisions in command of the Army of the Potomac have been the focus of controversy. He has been accused of not being aggressive enough in pursuit of Confederate forces, and being reluctant to attack on occasion. His reputation among the public and 19th century historians suffered as a result of his short temper, his bad relationship with the press, his place in the shadow of the victorious Grant, and particularly the damaging fallout from the controversies with Dan Sickles. Recent historical works have portrayed him in a more positive light. They have acknowledged that Meade displayed and acted upon an understanding of the necessary changes in tactics brought about by improvements in weapons technology, such as his decisions to entrench when practicable and not to launch frontal assaults on fortified positions.[23]
In 1865 General Meade was admitted as an honorary member of the Pennsylvania Society of the Cincinnati.
General Meade was a commissioner of Fairmount Park in Philadelphia from 1866 until his death. The people of Philadelphia gave his widow a house at 1836 Delancey Place, where he lived. The house still has the word "Meade" over the door, but it is now used as apartments. He also held various military commands, including the Military Division of the Atlantic, the Department of the East, and the Department of the South. He replaced Major General John Pope as governor of the Reconstruction Third Military District in Atlanta on January 10, 1868.
He received an honorary doctorate in law (LL.D.) from Harvard University, and his scientific achievements were recognized by various institutions, including the American Philosophical Society and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.[24]
Memorials to George G. Meade |
General Meade died in Philadelphia, while still on active duty, from complications of his old wounds, combined with pneumonia, on November 6, 1872. He was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery.[25]
There are memorial statues of him throughout Pennsylvania, including statues at Gettysburg National Military Park and one in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia by Alexander Milne Calder. The United States Army's Fort George G. Meade in Fort Meade, Maryland, is named for him, as are Meade County, Kansas, and Meade County, South Dakota. The Old Baldy Civil War Round Table in Philadelphia is named in honor of Meade's horse during the war. In World War II, the United States liberty ship SS George G. Meade was named in his honor.
One-thousand-dollar Treasury notes, also called Coin notes, of the Series 1890 and 1891, feature portraits of Meade on the obverse. The 1890 Series note is called the Grand Watermelon Note by collectors, because the large zeroes on the reverse resemble the pattern on a watermelon.
The General Meade Society of Philadelphia gathers annually on December 31 to celebrate the anniversary of the general's birth. Since 2001, the Society has sponsored activities that include tours of Meade-related sites in Philadelphia; seminars with speakers on the theme of Meade's life, services, and career; adoption and maintenance of the Meade Monument and headquarters site at Gettysburg; a scholarship drive for the General George G. Meade school in Philadelphia; a project to issue a commemorative stamp; and an annual birthday commemoration at his gravesite in Philadelphia's historic Laurel Hill Cemetery.[26]
In the film Gettysburg, an adaptation of Michael Shaara's novel The Killer Angels, Meade is portrayed by Richard Anderson. Other film, television, music, and video appearances:

Good Quality
By Marion C. from Cherry Hill, NJ on May 12, 2011
I was very impressed with the quality and weight of the wood. The finish was quite good as well. It would be helpful to have a drill in order to assemble this piece and if I knew that before hand I might not have ordered it But I persevered screwing all"12" nails and it looks quite impressive. I am using it next to a contemporary leather chair in my bedroom for a lamp and it does look great.

More good news for the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo. Recently released figures show the 11-day fair run this year turned a profit of roughly $980,000. That's up about $160,000 from the 2009 fair.
General Manager Chris Wiseman says the fair saw higher food and carnival sales. However the rodeo and other events at the grandstand continued to fair poorly--they lost about $56,000.
Overall Wiseman says with higher profits and half a million visitors, this year's fair was a success.

Centos 4.6 Catches Up with Updates
Shortly after a revision of the current 5 branch of the Centos release, the Red Hat Enterprise source-based distribution has now updated the older release to version 4.6.
In doing so, CentOS follows in the footsteps of US Linux corp. Red Hat, which recently released version 4.6 itself. In what is the normal procedure for older versions, the release contains updated packages for standard components and a number of bugfixes. Centos includes Samba 3.0.25b, an update of the server that removes various vulnerabilities. The developers have introduced a new version of Yum as the installation of the Yum Metadata Parser goes to show. The new Yum offers performance boosts without introducing new controls. The release notes have a full list of changes.
Downloads of the current 4.6 version are available for the i386 and x86 64 bit platforms. Versions for IA64, Alpha and IBM's S390 are also available. The developers are still working on server images for i386 and x86 64 bit architectures.

New Year's Day Racing at Cheltenham Canceled
The New Year's Day card at Cheltenham Racecourse in England has been canceled after overnight rain.
The New Year's Day card at Cheltenham Racecourse in England has been canceled after overnight rain.

Steph-O' from Kansas City, MO S. from Kansas City, MO– Verified Buyer The stool was a breeze to assemble & was exactly as described online. It would be perfect when used with an actual drafting table. However, it's a bit tall for use at our computer stand. But, we're making the best usage of the stool as possible. I'd note that the 'footring' is higher than anticipated. |

Southern Won't Seek US Loan Aid For Miss. Plant
By JEFF AMY
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) â¿¿ Southern Co. has withdrawn plans to seek a federal loan guarantee for the power plant its subsidiary, Mississippi Power Co., is building in Kemper County.
A spokesman for Atlanta-based Southern said Mississippi Power can borrow money elsewhere at a lower rate than available under the loan from the U.S. Department of Energy.
"Mississippi Power has secured financing at a lower rate than our certified projected Department of Energy loan, reducing overall costs to customers," Southern spokesman Tim Leljedal said in an emailed statement Tuesday.
The company had applied for up to $1.5 billion in bonding authority to help finance the plant, whose costs are approaching $3.3 billion. Southern said it's still pursuing up to $3.4 billion in loan guarantees for the two additional nuclear reactors it's building at Plant Vogtle near Augusta, Ga. "Mississippi Power and Georgia Power have been engaged in separate and distinct loan guarantee negotiations based on the utilities' unique financing needs and alternatives," Leljedal said. "There continues to be constructive dialogue in the Vogtle 3 and 4 loan guarantee negotiations, and we are cautiously optimistic as we work toward the DOE's June deadline." Leljedal said Southern's withdrawal is not related to recent actions taken by Mississippi to raise rates for the plant. The Mississippi Public Service Commission voted in March to approve a 15 percent rate increase this year, followed by a 3 percent rate increase in 2014. The increases would allow Mississippi Power to begin paying off debt related to what it calls Plant Ratcliffe even before it begins operations, scheduled for next year. That rate increase resulted from one prong of a settlement of litigation over the Kemper plant. Under another part of the agreement, lawmakers passed a bill allowing Mississippi Power to issue up to $1 billion in bonds to pay off accumulated interest and some costs that overrun the $2.4 billion level on the plant itself. The plant is projected to cost $2.88 billion, while associated lignite mines and pipelines are supposed to cost $377 million. Mississippi Power has said it's likely to seek an additional 4 percent rate increase to repay the debt, although the company wouldn't collect a profit on any of the up to $1 billion it borrows.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Q: Which are the four Surahs Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam told Hazrat Ali radhiallahu anhu to recite to improve his memory (especially in memorising the Quraan)? Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wasallam told Hazrat Ali radhiallahu anhu to perform 4 rakaats of salaah and in each one he had to recite one of the surahs.
A: Surah Yaseen
Surah Dukhaan
Surah Alif laam Tanzeel Sajdah
Surah Tabaarak
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Tilawat of Quran
Surahs for Memory
Arabic and Islam
Q: I have a very important question that I think is discouraging me. Recently, I've tried to get closer to Islam and pray salah and read quran. I have also decided to read Quran with translation in Ramadan because I haven't read it with translation before and I can't understand Arabic. Now my question is that is Arabic a mandatory requirement for a Muslim? I am 21 years old, about to get a job and I wont have much time to study Arabic at this stage of my life. If I would have started at an earlier age, then it would have been easier. I have heard people saying that Arabic is must for Islam. I know some surahs that I learnt when I was a kid and I'm hoping to learn a few more for salah. But I just get discouraged that this is not enough and I need to know Arabic in order to perform salah. I want to achieve khushoo (concentration) in salah which people say is only possible if you know Arabic. My recitation of Quran is not perfect, I am willing to improve it but I just don't want to learn the Arabic language at this stage. Please tell me if it's possible to be a good Muslim without understanding the Arabic language?
A: Maasha Allah, your concern is commendable. It is not possible for everyone to learn Arabic.
If you do get the opportunity to learn Arabic, you should do so.
In the meantime, learn the translation of all that is read in Salaah, from the Takbeer till the Salaam, and also the translations of the surahs that you usually read. When making Salaah, ponder lightly over the meanings and translation. This will increase your Khushoo.
Undoubtedly, a person can be a good Muslim without understanding Arabic, the heart has to be good.
May Allah Ta'aala always guide you to His pleasure, Aameen.
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Listening to Quraan while Exercising
Q: Is it permissible to listen to Quraan recitation with headphones whilst running and also whilst exercising in the gym?
A: It is against the etiquette Of Qur'aan to listen to it in those conditions. Concentration will not be full. Qur'aan should be listened to with serenity and concentration.
Allah Ta'aala knows best.
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Reading Manzil without Wudhu
Q: Is it permissible to read the Manzil without wudu?
A: The Manzil book has Qur'aan Surahs in it, so Wudhu is necessary to hold it.
If being read from memory, it will be permissible without Wudhu.
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Method of Sajda Tilawat
Q: What is the method of Sajda Tilawat for a Hanafi out of Salaah?
A: It can be done from the standing position or from the sitting position. Face Qiblah, say the Takbeer (Allaahu Akbar), go into Sajdah, recite the Tasbeeh thrice, say the Takbeer and come out of Sajdah. It is now done. Salaam will not be made.
For the Sajdah to be valid, all the requisites of Salaah will be necessary, i.e. Wudhu, covering of Satar, facing Qiblah, etc.
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Reading Quran from Laptop without Wudhu
Q: Can we recite the Holy Quran from a laptop screen without having ablution (Wudhu)?
A: Yes, you can. Do not touch the words on the screen without Wudhu.
Moulana Yusuf Laher
Verses of the Quraan and Benefits
Q: I was talking to my mom and we talked about spiritual healing by reading certain ayats (verses) numerous time or a name of Allah to make things hard easier. I know all benefits are from Allah. Then I said Quran has the cure for everything and a thought came up that all benefits from that is from Allah. It's as if Iforgot. Now I'm scared I might have committed shirk (polytheism).
Also, is there any shirk in asking Sheikhs for ayats or Names of Allah which you read numerous times and Allah will make things easier for that person? Example: if you have financial problems and you ask a Sheikh what should I read so that Allah makes things easier for me.
A: The Qur'aan is the Kalaam (speech) of Allah Ta'aala. A person subconsciously knows that all benefit is from Allah, thus no Shirk was committed. You knew that all the time but suddenly the thought came to the fore and you became worried.
There is no Shirk in the second question. It is similar to Du'aas taught to us by Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi wa Sallam). They are the formulas, with the belief that the effect comes from Allah Ta'aala alone.

I'm going to get flamed for this .. i know it.
I want to keep the stock head unit,but run an amp and some speakers I have laying around. No budget right now for a new headunit and the stock speakers are just pitiful.
So the plan is to ditch the stock speakers, make some mounting brackets for the 6.5 comps, hide the xovers and run the amp.
The only question is can I run the speaker signal off the stock HU to the amp without blowing the amp?
The amp is a JL 300/4. It has a 'hi/low input' switch, I need to look up how much the 'hi' input will handle. The gains of course can be turned down. Just not sure if this has been done before with any success.
To make this even more ghetto .. I'm not touching the rear speakers for now, those will run stock off the headunit. The amp will only power the front comps in bridged mode (150W x2 channels.) If I get this far, hopefully I can use combination of gains and fader setting to balance out the fronts/rears.

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Kosuke Fukudome blasted a three-run homer as part of a 3-for-4 effort, and the Chicago Cubs crushed the St. Louis Cardinals, 10-3, in the finale of a three-game set at Busch Stadium.
Fukudome finished with five runs batted in and two runs scored for Chicago, which salvaged the last game of this series and ended a four-game losing streak. Micah Hoffpauir had two hits, including a homer, and two RBI after replacing Derrek Lee, who left following the first inning with neck spasms.
"(We) scored early today," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "(We) put some runs on the board in the first inning. We've had trouble with men in scoring position, and today we did a lot better. You give your pitchers a margin to work with."
Rich Harden (2-1) earned the win after allowing only two runs on four hits and two walks in six innings while striking out nine.
Yadier Molina and Rick Ankiel each hit a solo homer for the Cardinals, who had a five-game winning streak snapped. Albert Pujols was walked in three of his four plate appearances.
Todd Wellemeyer (1-2) gave up six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and a pair of walks with five strikeouts.
The Cubs went in front in the opening frame. Three singles to open the game plated a run, as Fukudome drove in Alfonso Soriano with a hit to right. Lee followed with an RBI double to left, and Mike Fontenot added an RBI groundout to give Chicago an early 3-0 edge.
Hoffpauir drew a two-out bases-loaded walk in the second to increase the lead to four.
Molina hit a lead off homer for St. Louis to start the home second, cutting Chicago's lead to three.
Soriano hit a one-out double in the fourth, stole third, and scored when Ryan Theriot reached on an error by Khalil Greene at shortstop. Theriot moved to second on the play and scored on Fukudome's single up the middle, making it 6-1 in favor of the Cubs.
Ankiel's leadoff homer in the fourth made it a four-run game, but Hoffpauir responded with a homer to start the top of the seventh to restore the five-run cushion for Chicago.
Brendan Ryan had a pinch hit RBI double in the home seventh, but Fukudome's three-run homer in the eighth extended the Cubs' lead to 10-3.

No power to control board wall oven display was blank and oven did not work Darryle P. • New Richmond, WI • July 13, 2014 My Repair & Advice Replaced power transformer. I used a multimeter to measure output voltage of the transformer and discovered there was no output voltage. It would have helped a great deal if I had an electrical schematic and wiring diagram. The component identification drawings where helpful to locat components. Was this review helpful to you?

I know how you feel...
too often, a wight is damaged
by the seemingly harsh "lies"
that arise from a bitter voice.
I do my best not to discourage.
I'm sorry if you're hurt,
battered by my criticism.
I don't want you to be
a narcissistic reproduction of me.
I have flaws, I have weaknesses.
My one and only wish
is to see you live a better life
than I did.
So despite the clicks of the tongue,
the endless reminders
and the way I push you forward,
dear child, please don't despise me.
Please take my words
as incentives to work your hardest.
There is no reason to hate.
There is no reason to misjudge.
I only mean to transform you
for the better.
