Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is a NASA Explorer program Solar and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources. Real-time data from ACE is used by the Space Weather Prediction Center to improve forecasts and warnings of solar storms.[1] The ACE robotic spacecraft was launched August 25, 1997 and is currently operating in a Lissajous orbit close to the L1 Lagrange point (which lies between the Sun and the Earth at a distance of some 1.5 million km from the latter). The spacecraft was still in generally good condition in 2009, and at that time was projected to have enough fuel to maintain its orbit until 2024.[2] NASA Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development and integration of the ACE spacecraft.[3]

Science Objectives[edit]
ACE observations allow the investigation of a wide range of fundamental problems in the following four major areas:[4]
Elemental and Isotopic Composition of Matter[edit]
A major objective is the accurate and comprehensive determination of the elemental and isotopic composition of the various samples of "source material" from which nuclei are accelerated. These observations will be used to:
- Generate a set of solar isotopic abundances based on direct sampling of solar material.
- Determine the coronal elemental and isotopic composition with greatly improved accuracy.
- Establish the pattern of isotopic differences between galactic cosmic ray and solar system matter.
- Measure the elemental and isotopic abundances of interstellar and interplanetary "pick–up ions".
- Determine the isotopic composition of the "anomalous cosmic ray component", which represents a sample of the local interstellar medium.
Origin of the Elements and Subsequent Evolutionary Processing[edit]
Isotopic "anomalies" in meteorites indicate that the solar system was not homogeneous when formed. Similarly, the Galaxy is neither uniform in space nor constant in time due to continuous stellar nucleosynthesis. ACE measurements will be used to:
- Search for differences between the isotopic composition of solar and meteoritic material.
- Determine the contributions of solar–wind and solar energetic particles tolunar and meteoritic material, and to planetary atmospheres and magnetospheres.
- Determine the dominant nucleosynthetic processes that contribute to cosmic ray source material.
- Determine whether cosmic rays are a sample of freshly synthesized material (e.g., from supernovae) or of the contemporary interstellar medium.
- Search for isotopic patterns in solar and Galactic material as a test of galactic evolution models.
Formation of the Solar Corona and Acceleration of the Solar Wind[edit]
Solar energetic particle, solar wind, and spectroscopic observations show that the elemental composition of the corona is differentiated from that of the photosphere, although the processes by which this occurs, and by which the solar wind is subsequently accelerated, are poorly understood. The detailed composition and charge–state data provided by ACE will be used to:
- Isolate the dominant coronal formation processes by comparing a broad range of coronal and photospheric abundances.
- Study plasma conditions at the source of solar wind and solar energetic particles by measuring and comparing the charge states of these two populations.
- Study solar wind acceleration processes and any charge or mass–dependent fractionation in various types of solar wind flows.
Particle Acceleration and Transport in Nature[edit]
Particle acceleration is ubiquitous in nature and understanding its nature is one of the fundamental problems of space plasma astrophysics. The unique data set obtained by ACE measurements will be used to:
- Make direct measurements of charge and/or mass–dependent fractionation during solar energetic particle and interplanetary acceleration events.
- Constrain solar flare, coronal shock, and interplanetary shock acceleration models with charge, mass, and spectral data spanning up to five decades in energy.
- Test theoretical models for 3He–rich flares and solar γ–ray events.
Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS)[edit]
The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer covers the highest decade of the Advanced Composition Explorer's energy interval, from 50 to 500 MeV/nucleon, with isotopic resolution for elements from Z ≈ 2 to 30. The nuclei detected in this energy interval are predominantly cosmic rays originating in our Galaxy. This sample of galactic matter investigates the nucleosynthesis of the parent material, as well as fractionation, acceleration, and transport processes that these particles undergo in the Galaxy and in the interplanetary medium. Charge and mass identification with CRIS is based on multiple measurements of dE/dx and total energy in stacks of silicon detectors, and trajectory measurements in a scintillating optical fiber trajectory (SOFT) hodoscope. The instrument has a geometrical factor of 250 cm2 sr for isotope measurements. [5]
Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS)[edit]
The Solar Isotope Spectrometer (SIS) provides high resolution measurements of the isotopic composition of energetic nuclei from He to Zn (Z = 2 to 30) over the energy range from ~10 to ~100 MeV/nucleon. During large solar events SIS measures the isotopic abundances of solar energetic particles to determine directly the composition of the solar corona and to study particle acceleration processes. During solar quiet times SIS measures the isotopes of low-energy cosmic rays from the Galaxy and isotopes of the anomalous cosmic ray component, which originates in the nearby interstellar medium. SIS has two telescopes composed of silicon solid-state detectors that provide measurements of the nuclear charge, mass, and kinetic energy of incident nuclei. Within each telescope, particle trajectories are measured with a pair of two-dimensional silicon strip detectors instrumented with custom very-large- scale integrated (VLSI) electronics to provide both position and energy-loss measurements. SIS was especially designed to achieve excellent mass resolution under the extreme, high flux conditions encountered in large solar particle events. It provides a geometry factor of 40 cm2 sr, significantly greater than earlier solar particle isotope spectrometers. [6]
Ultra Low Energy Isotope Spectrometer (ULEIS)[edit]
The Ultra Low Energy Isotope Spectrometer (ULEIS) on the ACE spacecraft is an ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometer that measures particle composition and energy spectra of elements He–Ni with energies from ~45 keV/nucleon to a few MeV/nucleon. ULEIS investigates particles accelerated in solar energetic particle events, interplanetary shocks, and at the solar wind termination shock. By determining energy spectra, mass composition, and their temporal variations in conjunction with other ACE instruments, ULEIS greatly improves our knowledge of solar abundances, as well as other reservoirs such as the local interstellar medium. ULEIS combines the high sensitivity required to measure low particle fluxes, along with the capability to operate in the largest solar particle or interplanetary shock events. In addition to detailed information for individual ions, ULEIS features a wide range of count rates for different ions and energies that allows accurate determination of particle fluxes and anisotropies over short (few minutes) time scales. [7]
Solar Energetic Particle Ionic Charge Analyzer (SEPICA)[edit]
The Solar Energetic Particle Ionic Charge Analyzer (SEPICA) was the instrument on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) that determined the ionic charge states of solar and interplanetary energetic particles in the energy range from ≈0.2 MeV nucl-1 to ≈5 MeV charge-1. The charge state of energetic ions contains key information to unravel source temperatures, acceleration, fractionation and transport processes for these particle populations. SEPICA had the ability to resolve individual charge states with a substantially larger geometric factor than its predecessor ULEZEQ on ISEE-1 and -3, on which SEPICA was based. To achieve these two requirements at the same time, SEPICA was composed of one high-charge resolution sensor section and two low- charge resolution, but large geometric factor sections.[8]
As of 2008, this instrument is no longer functioning due to failed gas valves.[2]
Solar Wind Ion Mass Spectrometer (SWIMS) and Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS)[edit]
The Solar Wind Ion Composition Spectrometer (SWICS) and the Solar Wind Ions Mass Spectrometer (SWIMS) on ACE are instruments optimized for measurements of the chemical and isotopic composition of solar and interstellar matter. SWICS determined uniquely the chemical and ionic-charge composition of the solar wind, the thermal and mean speeds of all major solar wind ions from H through Fe at all solar wind speeds above 300 km s-1 (protons) and 170 km s-1 (Fe+16), and resolved H and He isotopes of both solar and interstellar sources. SWICS also measured the distribution functions of both the interstellar cloud and dust cloud pickup ions up to energies of 100 keV e-1. SWIMS measures the chemical, isotopic and charge state composition of the solar wind for every element between He and Ni. Each of the two instruments are time-of-flight mass spectrometers and use electrostatic analysis followed by the time-of-flight and, as required, an energy measurement.[9][10]
As of August, 2011, the SWICS time-of-flight has failed, limiting the composition measurements to the abundant species.[2]
Electron, Proton, and Alpha-particle Monitor (EPAM)[edit]
The Electron, Proton, and Alpha Monitor (EPAM) instrument on the ACE spacecraft is designed to measure a broad range of energetic particles over nearly the full unit-sphere at high time resolution. Such measurements of ions and electrons in the range of a few tens of keV to several MeV are essential to understand the dynamics of solar flares, co-rotating interaction regions (CIR's), interplanetary shock acceleration, and upstream terrestrial events. The large dynamic range of EPAM extends from about 50 keV to 5 MeV for ions, and 40 keV to about 350 keV for electrons. To complement its electron and ion measurements, EPAM is also equipped with a Composition Aperture (CA) which unambiguously identifies ion species reported as species group rates and/or individual pulse-height events. The instrument achieves its large spatial coverage through fife telescopes oriented at various angles to the spacecraft spin axis. The low-energy particle measurements, obtained as time resolutions between 1.5 and 24 s, and the ability of the instrument to observe particle anisotropies in three dimensions make EPAM an excellent resource to provide the interplanetary context for studies using other instruments on the ACE spacecraft. [11]
Solar Wind Electron, Proton and Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM)[edit]
The Solar Wind Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) experiment provides the bulk solar wind observations for the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE). These observations provide the context for elemental and isotopic composition measurements made on ACE as well as allowing the direct examination of numerous solar wind phenomena such as coronal mass ejections, interplanetary shocks, and solar wind fine structure, with advanced, 3-D plasma instrumentation. They also provide an ideal data set for both heliospheric and magnetospheric multi-spacecraft studies where they can be used in conjunction with other, simultaneous observations from spacecraft such as Ulysses. The SWEPAM observations are made simultaneously with independent electron (SWEPAM-e) and ion (SWEPAM-i) instruments. In order to save costs for the ACE project, SWEPAM-e and SWEPAM-i are the recycled flight spares from the joint NASA/ESA Ulysses mission. Both instruments had selective refurbishment, modification, and modernization required to meet the ACE mission and spacecraft requirements. Both incorporate electrostatic analyzers whose fan-shaped fields of view sweep out all pertinent look directions as the spacecraft spins. [12]
Magnetometer (MAG)[edit]
The magnetic field experiment on ACE provides continuous measurements of the local magnetic field in the interplanetary medium. These measurements are essential in the interpretation of simultaneous ACE observations of energetic and thermal particles distributions. The experiment consists of a pair of twin, boom- mounted, triaxial fluxgate sensors which are located 165 inches (=4.19 m) from the center of the spacecraft on opposing solar panels. The two triaxial sensors provide a balanced, fully redundant vector instrument and permit some enhanced assessment of the spacecraft's magnetic field. [13]
ACE Real Time Solar Wind (RTSW)[edit]
The Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) RTSW system is continuously monitoring the solar wind and producing warnings of impending major geomagnetic activity, up to one hour in advance. Warnings and alerts issued by NOAA allow those with systems sensitive to such activity to take preventative action. The RTSW system gathers solar wind and energetic particle data at high time resolution from four ACE instruments (MAG, SWEPAM, EPAM, and SIS), packs the data into a low-rate bit stream, and broadcasts the data continuously. NASA sends real-time data to NOAA each day when downloading science data. With a combination of dedicated ground stations (CRL in Japan and RAL in Great Britain), and time on existing ground tracking networks (NASA's DSN and the USAF's AFSCN), the RTSW system can receive data 24 hours per day throughout the year. The raw data are immediately sent from the ground station to the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, processed, and then delivered to its Space Weather Operations Center where they are used in daily operations; the data are also delivered to the CRL Regional Warning Center at Hiraiso, Japan, to the USAF 55th Space Weather Squadron, and placed on the World Wide Web. The data are downloaded, processed and dispersed within 5 min from the time they leave ACE. The RTSW system also uses the low-energy energetic particles to warn of approaching interplanetary shocks, and to help monitor the flux of high-energy particles that can produce radiation damage in satellite systems. [14]
Related deep-space observatory in 2015[edit]
On February 11, 2015, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR)—with several similar instruments including a newer and more sensitive instrument to detect Earth-bound coronal mass ejections—successfully launched by NOAA and NASA aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral, Florida. For the next 110 days the spacecraft will travel to its halo orbit around L1 Lagrangian point along with ACE, and both will provide space weather data as long as ACE can continue to function.[15]

Any Alternatives? Written By BLucky, Michigan on Tuesday, March 03, 2015 a working alternative for larger gage speaker wire coupled to smaller push-fit receiver connections, however the fit is somewhat loose and they rotate, possibly into each other and potential for shorting against each other... these would be better if they were straight and not angled... Pros: not many options for larger gage speaker wire Cons: they rotate and could short out against each other
Monster Cable twist-on pins used with heavy cables Written By RB, Ashburn, VA on Saturday, November 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These were the perfect size for my old speakers. Well made. Twist connectors separate easily if you use heavy speaker cables, but I do not have an alternative to fit my gear. Pros: High quality, fit my vintage JBL speaker spring posts. Cons: AudioQuest X2 cable is heavy enough to pull out of these cable pins with a slight extra pull.
Perfect for Spring Loaded Clamps Written By GarageRat, Chicago IL on Friday, July 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have two vintage receivers that take this type or bare wire. Works great with the 12 Gauge wire. Easy in and out. They loose a star due to the cheap rubber outside which disintegrates over time. I have some Silverbacks with fantastic build and non conductive shell but the flex wire breaks to easily. Wish they could combine them and you would make a fortune. Now Monster makes smaller ones for the people here who complain it won't hold their wire, these are designed for larger wire as described (12 gauge). Pros: Easy to slide in and out of spring load connections, No crimping needed. Clean look. Cons: Cheap Rubber polarity shells.
Works great Written By axemaster, Harrisburg, Pa on Sunday, November 18, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These were easy to use and I only had one come apart but once I twisted it more firmly, it wasn't a problem. Pros: Easy to use Cons: These should come in the quicklock style.
Don't bother Written By SteveD, Santa Cruz, CA on Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was unable to get these pins to twist onto Monster XP cable sufficiently to hold. Ended up not using them. Cons: Don't work as advertised with Monster Cable.
Monster Cable Twist-on Angled Gold Pins Written By chris, Fishers, IN on Tuesday, July 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Not a fan, but the only reason I bought these was because someone told me I should buy a Monster speaker selector to protect my receiver. Monster being Monster, they make things that require you to buy other Monster things for the original thing to work. That being said, the banana clips were required to connect the speaker wire to the speaker selector. They were a pain to hook up, then I discovered that the sound channels weren't properly distributed throughout the speakers (i.e. center channel sound was sent through all the speakers, not solely the center channel). So I disconnected the entire speaker selector and ran the speaker wire straight into the receiver. So if anyone wants to buy a Monster 6 speaker selector box, I have one for sale that is pretty much brand new.
Monster Cable Twist-on Angled Gold Pins Written By Ken, Moorestown, NJ on Saturday, February 06, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These connectors were great. Tired of twisting wires and wondering if you have a connection then use these.
Good for limited use Written By Lynn, Dallas, TX on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These connectors, because of the slip-on insulators, are good for connecting speaker wire into the close amplifier speaker outlets. The "twist-on" did bite into my 14 gauge speaker wire (be sure to twist the wire and the pin counter-clockwise) and does get a good electrical connection. My complaint is that the connector holds to only about 1 pound of pull. In fitting into tight spaces, it would be easy to pull one loose. I'd prefer an insulated connector with a more positive connection to the wire.
Don't waste your money Written By Daniel, Schaumburg, IL on Monday, April 13, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are junk. I was using 12 gauge speaker wire. The wire just does not stay tight in these connectors. They also are a pain to screw down on the speaker posts. I took them off my wires and will just thread the wire in the posts and screw the posts down.

This title in other editionsThe Jewel Tree of Tibet: The Enlightenment Engine of Tibetan Buddhismby Robert Thurman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Few teachers in the West possess both the spiritual training and the scholarship to lead us along the path to enlightenment. Robert Thurman is one such teacher. Now, in his first experiential course on the essentials of Tibetan Buddhism, adapted and expanded from a popular retreat he led, Thurman — the first Westerner ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama himself — shares the centuries-old wisdom of a highly valued method of insight used by the great Tibetan masters. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;Tibetans think of their cherished tradition of Buddhism as a "wish-fulfilling jewel tree" for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. Happiness, in fact, is the true goal of Tibetan spirituality, and the wish-fulfilling jewel tree will enable you to reach that goal. Using a revered, once-secret text of a seventeenth-century Tibetan master, with thorough explanations for contemporary Westerners, andlt;iandgt;The Jewel Tree of Tibetandlt;/iandgt; immerses you fully in the mysteries of Tibetan spiritual wisdom. A retreat in book form as well as a spiritual and philosophical teaching, andlt;iandgt;The Jewel Tree of Tibetandlt;/iandgt; offers a practical system of understanding yourself and the world, of developing your learning and thought processes, and of gaining deep, transforming insight. andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt;One of the most explicit teachings of the steps on the path of enlightenment available, explained by a skilled Western teacher, andlt;iandgt;The Jewel Tree of Tibetandlt;/iandgt; will enable you to honor the full subtlety and hidden depths of the Tibetan Buddhist path and realize at last its deeper rewards — for yourself and others.
About the Authorandlt;Bandgt;Robert Thurmanandlt;/Bandgt; is the author of the critically acclaimed, popular original books andlt;Iandgt;Inner Revolutionandlt;/Iandgt; and andlt;Iandgt;Infinite Lifeandlt;/Iandgt; and a translator of sacred Tibetan texts, including andlt;Iandgt;The Essence of True Eloquenceandlt;/Iandgt; and andlt;Iandgt;The Tibetan Book of the Dead.andlt;/Iandgt; He teaches at Columbia University and holds the first endowed chair in Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies in America.

BATON ROUGE, LA (FOX44) — Local law enforcement officials are once again opening up the downtown Baton Rouge jail for the 24-7 misdemeanor offenders.
The sweep begins next Monday and will keep the jail open around the clock in order to process and clear out those with outstanding warrants.
After the success of last year's program, the Metro Council voted to fund the jail with $50,000 to reinstate the program this year.
Officers are asking those with unpaid tickets and warrants to "take care of their business" prior to the trial period or be ready to possibly face jail time during the two-week jail operation.
Today, Tuesday, June 12, the line outside of the dowtown courthouse was wrapped around the block with people looking to pay those tickets before next week.

U.S. Naval Veteran Hurley Gaining Major Experience
By Stuart Hall
VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C. – Billy Hurley III took a tour of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., following his freshman year of high school, and just like that his top college destination was determined.
"I just fell in love with everything it stood for, everything about the place," he said. "I only applied to one school, because that's where I knew I was going to go."
Hurley's time at the Naval Academy and service to the United States is well chronicled, given that he is the first Naval Academy graduate to play on the PGA Tour.
Hurley earned a degree in quantitative economics, was the Patriot League Golfer of the Year in 2004 and played for the 2005 USA Walker Cup Team. He was commissioned as a lieutenant after graduation and served five years, most of it aboard U.S. Navy ships.
Even though Hurley, who is making his major championship debut at this week's 114th U.S. Open at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club's Course No. 2, is a midshipman, he could easily appreciate the USGA's Flag Day ceremony.
The American flag was first unfurled on June 14, 1777, two years after the forming of the U.S. Army. Saturday's ceremony honored the military presence at Fort Bragg, approximately 30 miles away from Pinehurst.
Given Hurley's military backstory, playing in America's national championship is something he takes seriously.
"No doubt, this is something special, and something I will always remember," he said.
Hurley's early recollections of the U.S. Open are of the par-3 finishing hole at Congressional Country Club in 1997; Payne Stewart standing on the 18th green in the second round, chomping gum as he watched his 8-foot birdie attempt roll 25 feet past the hole at The Olympic Club in 1998; and of Stewart cutting the sleeves off his rain jacket while on the range prior to the 1999 U.S. Open's final round, which Stewart won here on No. 2.
Hurley's naval background has been at the core of his commitment and confidence throughout his burgeoning golf career.
When he was scratching out paychecks on the mini-tours early in his career, just qualifying for a U.S. Open may have been enough. Now that he's a card-carrying member on the PGA Tour for a second time, his expectations have risen.
"Making the cut was good for my first major," said Hurley, who sat on the 5-over 145 cut line on Friday and shot a 5-over 75 Saturday morning.
"Just playing is not the goal anymore. Playing more and more in these conditions, I'm learning what I have to do with my game, different shots I need to be able to hit."
That Hurley, 32 and married with two children, even qualified for this week is a testament to his belief in his own talent.
Four years ago, during a mini-tour event in western North Carolina, Hurley remembers walking up the eighth fairway, turning to his fellow competitor and saying he might be finished.
Hurley was speaking in the broader spectrum of his career, not that particular round.
He went on to win that week, and had a similar experience several months later when he won the second stage of the PGA Tour's Qualifying Tournament after another "serious-ish" discussion about the future with his wife.
The tipping point came a year later during his debut on the then-Nationwide Tour. He enjoyed a stretch of tournaments where he recorded a top-five and second-place finish.
"I was like, 'OK, we're going in the right direction,'" said Hurley, who initially played on the PGA Tour in 2012. "It's just been a steady progression from then."
Hurley has posted two top-10 finishes and made the cut in five of his last six events on Tour, including three straight prior to this week. With this U.S. Open experience in his pocket, he now eyes qualifying for the British Open and PGA Championship.
"You want to play four days and get a little more experience, and I've been able to do that," said Hurley about making the most of this week's opportunity. "There have been a couple of shots where inexperience got me a little bit yesterday and today. I want to play a ton of majors, a ton of Opens in my career."
Hurley knows what he wants, and history says he'll get it.

Recent Seacoast New Hampshire Reviews
Beautiful house in a great location
Beautiful house 1 block away from the beach with everything you'd need for a week away from home. Everything's in great condition and the fact that they had games/Dvd's around was a nice addition.
I'd have given a 4.5 if I could have - the house is definitely a 5 but it was a bit far from the main Hampton beach area (if this is an issue - we were there for a wedding so was a bit far). As well Richard was easy to deal with but would have preferred an easier way to pay other than sending cheques in the mail ( a bit slow)
Excellent place to stay!!
This property is very nice and well maintained. The interior, appliances and rooms are modern and super clean. I had one issue come up during the week and the owner, Brian, couldn't have been more professional and courteous in resolving the problem. This place looks exactly like the pictures and was surprisingly roomy.
The location of this cottage is within perfect distance to the beach, shops and more. Since you are on the beginning of the strip, you avoid a lot of the normal beach traffic.
I would recommend this property.
This rental property was amazing!
Our beach house was amazing! Comfortable, meticulously clean, beautifully decorated and obviously recently renovated. The 3 bedroom interior lent itself to sufficiently sleep our family, inside dining was spacious enough for 6+ and the fenced in private back yard was a great place to grille and host family and friends with plenty of seating at beautiful umbrella'd tables. Short walk to the beach and great location at the beginning of Hampton strip so we missed nothing on our evening walking outings. Would suggest Castaway's Restaurant just over the bridge! Great seafood, beautiful location for sunsets. All in all, our stay here was one of the best beach weeks we've ever had!!!!

Haitians Disappointed With Preval, Long For Aristide
Nearly two weeks after the deadly earthquake, the Haitian government continues to struggle. Many officials died in the quake and government buildings were destroyed. Some Haitians don't believe President Rene Preval can pull them out of the chaos they're in. They would like to see ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide return to office.

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Its MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning. Im Steve Inskeep.
Renee Montagne is on assignment this week, and in the studios this week is NPRs Ari Shapiro. Welcome back, Ari.
ARI SHAPIRO, host:
Thanks. Morning, Steve.
Were going to report this morning on how the government of Haiti is responding to this months earthquake. In many ways, the government has been invisible. And while that may be understandable amid the destruction, it has left many Haitians with no faith in their leaders.
INSKEEP: In fact, some Haitians are suggesting they would like to see a change.
NPRS Tamara Keith reports.
(Soundbite of music)
TAMARA KEITH: The funeral for the beloved Catholic Archbishop of Port-au-Prince attracted hundreds of Haitians, some who dressed up as best they could. The president, Rene Preval, was there. He has made very few public appearances since the quake and did not speak at the funeral. As Preval left, protestors chased after his motorcade.
(Soundbite of crowd chatter)
KEITH: Danny Dadol(ph) was one of them.
Ms. DANNY DADOL: (Through translator) Preval is not doing anything for us. We need help now, and he's not doing anything.
KEITH: She would like to see the former president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, return to guide Haiti out of this crisis. Aristide has been in exile in South Africa since 2004, when opposition groups seized control of the government. Hes offered to come back, and Dadol says thats what the people want.
Ms. DADOL: (Through translator) I'd like for Preval to take care of the country, but the country doesnt want him. They'd rather have Aristide to come and help him out, because Aristide would do a better job.
KEITH: Haitis political history has been marked by violent coups and charges of inept or corrupt leadership. Then came the earthquake, almost two weeks ago, today. It struck at the heart of the government. The Haitian equivalent of the White House was destroyed, along with other major government offices. Preval talked about his governments struggles in a statement broadcast a few days ago on the radio.
President RENE PREVAL (Haiti): (Through translator) The big consequence is the government has been paralyzed because the national palace collapsed. The palace of justice collapsed. The parliament building collapsed. All the communication was down.
KEITH: This was only the presidents second official statement to the people since the quake. The first came a full 24 hours after disaster struck his country. Mario Viau is the general manager of radio station Signal FM. He says the president needed to be out there reassuring the public sooner. He says people arent simply feeling the presence of the government.
Mr. MARIO VIAU (General Manager, Signal FM): He's not talking much. So, we dont feel that much. But they good excuse on this, because there have been hate everywhere.
KEITH: Government officials are meeting daily with the various international agencies now working in the country, and there's a daily press briefing.
Ms. MARIE-LAURENCE JOCELYN LASSEGUE (Communication Minister, Haiti): (Through translator) We greet all the journalists here.
KEITH: Haitis communications minister, Marie-Laurence Jocelyn Lassegue, sits at a folding table under a lush tree on the grounds of the makeshift government headquarters at a Port-au-Prince police station. At some point, someone comes up and pins a paper sign to the tree. It says: press.
Unidentified Man: We are trying to address this issue, as well, at the level of the problems(ph).
KEITH: A few minutes into the press conference, virtually all of the 20 or so reporters there scramble over to an SUV. It turns out they were all Brazilian, and a dignitary from Brazil was visiting. Lassegue doesnt seem to have much control over her own press conference. We ask if the government is organizing the relief efforts.
Ms. LASSEGUE: The government want to organize everything, but, you know, still now, some NGO, they go there and there, and they do the things the way they want to.
KEITH: She says the NGOs are doing as they please here. And that's certainly what it looks like, but Lassegue insists these groups must listen to the government.
Ms. LASSEGUE: They have to do it the way we want the things to do. Thank you.
KEITH: Are they?
Ms. LASSEGUE: Thank you.
KEITH: Are they?
Ms. LASSEGUE: They have to do it.
KEITH: There's only so much the government can do now. As President Preval put it, the earthquake made everyone feel disoriented. We all became refugees.

They both have to deal with the public. When drinking in bars, people tend to go to extremes of their personalities. If their a jerk, it increases. Cops often have more to attend to around full moons, generally with alcohol and drugs involved. Bartenders see more fights and just weird happenings around the full moon. I've been told by a bartender that she can always tell when there is a full moon, about 3 days of it...just the strangest stuff happens.
When you're old enough to get in a bar, ask some bartenders. See what their opinions are.
Or...maybe it's just folk lore. We believe it, so when weird things happen, we chalk it up to the full moon. It's like buying a car, and once you own that car, that color, you notice every car that drives down the road that is the same make and same color. Before buying it, you never even knew that car existed.

The Kardashian & Jenner Christmas card is an annual tradition, and the family revealed this year's futuristic card on Dec. 1. Kylie Jenner posted this shot on Instagram, showing off her beauty look. Do you love her thick black liner? We'll help you get the look for yourself below.
Kylie Jenner In Kardashian Christmas Card 2013 — Her Hair & Makeup Look
Kylie's posing in a black velvet dress in the pic. She's wearing a Philip Treacy hat, a London designer who works frequently with the Royal Family.
Under the hat, her ombre hair is pin straight. Her eyes are lined in a cat eye shape, with liner extending towards her brows. She has a set of false lashes on, which make her eyes look huge and beautiful.
She's rocking a deep blush and bronzer to contour her face and expose her cheekbones. On her lips, she's wearing a very subtle pink shade with not a lot of shine.
To get her gorgeous eye look, we love MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Magic Marc'er Precision Pen, available at Sephora. The waterproof, liquid liner goes on like a marker, so it's easy to draw crisp, precise lines.
Other Beauty Looks In The Kardashian Family Christmas Card
Kylie's sister Kendall Jenner has her hair in finger waves while Kim Kardashian's hair had massive volume and was flipped to the side.
Kourtney Kardashian rocked her hair in a beehive style.

If you go
WHAT: Gregory Porter
WHEN: 8:30 p.m. Friday; 9 p.m. SaturdayWHERE: College of Charleston Cistern YardCOST: Tickets start at $30MORE INFO: www.spoletousa.org, 579-3100 or Charleston Visitor Center, 375 Meeting St.For the first time next Friday, jazz singer-songwriter Gregory Porter will bring his impressive baritone to Charleston as part of the Spoleto USA Festival.
In 2010, Porter released his first solo album, "Water," which was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Jazz Vocal category. This year, he was nominated for a Grammy again for his performance of "Real Good Hands," a song from his sweet and surefooted sophomore album, "Be Good."
Porter's songwriting receives a larger focus on "Be Good." Jazz and soul intermingle, and his tunes already sound like standards. One song, "On My Way to Harlem," laments the creeping gentrification of Harlem and the loss of history in the departed echoes of black cultural luminaries like Langston Hughes and Duke Ellington.
Producer Brian Bacchus said Porter combines singer-songwriter chops with vocals that are strong and pure.
"Gregory's writing is such a joy, and of course his actual voice is amazing," Bacchus said.
"Be Good," which he produced, showcases Porter's talents, which are rooted in 1970s soul music, he said. "He's unique. It's definitely a jazz band that he has, but where he's coming from in terms of song form and songwriting is very, very different. He naturally pulls that all together; it's very soulful."
Porter's appearance at Spoleto Festival USA follows on the heels of a European tour and is part of an ongoing set of concerts that continue through next February. The schedule may be arduous, but he doesn't seem to mind.
"I don't know what it is about me, but movement lets me write," he said. "I wrote 'On My Way to Harlem' on the train there."
That track is one that audiences call for during his sets. John Murph, who writes about Jazz for The Atlantic, The Root and NPR, says that songs from "Be Good" were being requested at performances before the album was released.
"He's a very captivating singer. He knows how to deliver a song, and that's something that is too often missing from a lot of singers, especially new jazz singers," said Murph. "And I think that one of the things that Gregory Porter has on his side is that he is a great songwriter."
Porter grew up in a large family supported only by their mother, a minister, in the predominantly white neighborhood of Bakersfield, Calif. While they lived there, Porter said his family faced threats and violence from their neighbors. They persevered, but it was not always easy, and real events like this often find their way into his songs.
"It hasn't seasoned my life," Porter said, but it was the impetus of "1960 What?" — a song that touches on race riots and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
Porter was an outside linebacker on a football scholarship at San Diego State University until a shoulder injury put an end to his athletic career. Singing in jazz clubs around the university, he met pianist and saxophonist Kamau Kenyatta, who became his mentor.
Porter found himself singing on Broadway a few years later in "It Ain't Nothing But the Blues," and then on a Denver stage performing "Nat King Cole & Me: A Musical Healing," directed by Randal Myler. Part Bildungsroman and part tribute to Nat King Cole, Porter's performance was rooted in his own life growing up without a father. Five years later, he was signed to Harlem-based Motema Music and prepared to release his record, "Water."
Bacchus continues to work with Porter and said the first single from the new album will be released soon.
"Some new songs might find their way into the (Charleston) set," Porter said teasingly.

NEWNAN, Ga. (June 27, 2008) –Piedmont Newnan Hospital (PNH) is pleased to announce the addition of hospitalists to its medical staff, effective July 1, 2008. Eight specially-trained physicians will join the PNH team.
These physicians provide and coordinate a patient's care during his or her hospital stay and facilitate communication between a patient's personal physician and the care team. The hospitalists provide patient care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This ever-present approach helps to ensure that any unfavorable change in a patient's condition is immediately addressed by the attending physician.
"The benefits of a hospitalist program to patients are numerous. Because hospitalists are always in the hospital and work as a coordinated team to collaborate on the care of their patients using evidence-based medical practices, the overall quality of the inpatient stay is enhanced. Additionally, patients and family members can conveniently ask and obtain answers to questions regarding care in a very timely manner," said Michael Bass, president and CEO of PNH.
"We are excited about the new program at Piedmont Newnan," said Tiffanni Forbes, M.D., hospitalist at PNH. "Our team will work side-by-side with primary care physicians and specialists to ensure that the Coweta County community receives the best possible care. It is an honor to serve this wonderful community and hospital staff."
In addition, hospitalists can facilitate connections with post-acute providers, such as skilled nursing care, home health care, and specialized rehabilitation.
According to the Society of Hospital Medicine, hospitalist programs are the fastest growing medical specialty in the nation. There are currently more than 20,000 hospitalists in the United States, and that number is projected to grow to about 30,000 by 2010.

(PRWEB) June 10, 2013
The Rottenstein Law Group LLP, which accepts clients in vaginal mesh cases, notes that Judge Joseph Goodwin on June 4 denied vaginal mesh manufacturer C.R. Bard's motion for partial summary judgment of four plaintiffs' punitive damages claims, according to court documents in MDL No. 2187, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
Judge Goodwin is the federal district court judge presiding over pretrial motions in the multidistrict litigations against several vaginal mesh manufacturers in West Virginia federal court: MDL No. 2187 (against C.R. Bard), MDL No. 2387 (against Coloplast), MDL No. 2326 (against Boston Scientific), MDL No. 2327 (against Ethicon) and MDL No. 2325 (against American Medical Systems). On Tuesday, June 4, he decided motions brought by both parties in the first four cases scheduled for trial in the MDL against C.R. Bard (MDL No. 2187).
Among the motions Judge Goodwin decided was C.R. Bard's motion for summary judgment—i.e., motion for pre-trial judgment in Bard's favor—on the first four cases' punitive damages claims. Judge Goodwin denied that Bard motion for summary judgment on the unitive damages claims, according to court documents.
While the first four cases in the MDL against Bard won't be going to trial until July, there has been a verdict in a vaginal mesh injury case brought against Bard in another jurisdiction. In July 2012, a California Superior Court jury awarded $5 million to Christine Scott for injuries caused by Bard's Avaulta mesh, and $500,000 to her husband for his loss of consortium (Scott vs Kannappan, Cause Number S-1500-CV-266034).

WITHOUT YOU I AM NOTHINGWithout you I am nothing, for what am I without you?Given the choice of your love and the light of the sun,I would risk eternal darkness and let your love light my way.No purpose is greater under heaven than love from the soul,To receive this love is priceless; to give it humbles me so.Love is the answer, love is the key, it is in the ocean and the air we breathe.Love is timeless, ageless, and blind, for you need not see to love.Sweet Becky, how precious you are, I am on top of the world now!Devoted to giving you a better life, remember this one thing,Without you I am nothing…David Rogers

there's nothing that feels quite like this.Maybe the problem is that I don't know what a love story should sound like. I haven't figured out what order I should put the words in to make it read just right. I do, however, know what it feels like, but pushing around nouns and adjectives just to make it grow is the hardest thing I'll ever do. And it's true that I've tried it before and maybe I succeeded once, but since then I've learned the way real love washes through veins, and rumbles through the shifting and settling of bones until it changes you completely in a way that is absolutely unyielding. Perfect. Simple. It's not angry, or jealous, it doesn't hurt. It isn't like before. So now words don't come so easy, since I'm not sure which ones will cheapening the moments, the feelings, you.And god, I could never do that to you, since the only thing I know with completely certainty is that you are the only thing that saves me.

She nodded.He took her heart and then took leave.A small boy crossed the little girl,Mascara crawling down her face,He asked how she was and she sighed, "Fine."He grabbed her toys and left with no trace.A lonely mother glanced at the girl,Bleeding out in the middle of the street.She asked her nothing, too weighed down with grief,And stole the shoes off the young girl's feet.The girl's soul mate was crawling by,Bleeding, in pain, with a fever hot.When the girl lied and said she was okay,He kissed her and whispered, "No you're not."
Wrong?We laugh, dance, sing.We love each other so vastly,we are so consumed by one another,that you cannot tell where one of us ends and the other begins.we have dreams, hopes for the future.we have queries, doubts.But ultimately, I feel as though she is a part of me,a part of me that I thought had been lost,drowned in an ocean of violence and despair.She is beautiful, wonderous.she truly is, I feel, life itself,and we have, what our friends describe as, the "perfect relationship"But, we are human, our relationship is not perfect.We fight, argue, attempt to take back love that was already given,only in order to hurt each into submission.Insults are unwittingly thrown, hitting deep places,in hearts that are already scarred,and by the end of it all,we feel small, dirty and ashamed, and we crawl our way,back into each others arms, and each others hearts,and we fall both asleep, and back into love.admittedly,We have our difficulties, as does any relationship.So therefore, w

martial art movies dubbed in hindi.comSex Junkie part 4I know that we attracted attention from the other paramours who were out there that night. I was making sufficiently noise that if they'd taped me they could have dubbed a porno film very successfully just with my groans and lusty screams.
There was even some applause after Kevin and I had our 1st orgasms and where lying there panting side by side. Lascivious Son Copulates Lascivious Mommy part 5'My enjoyable mumma!!!'
Mommy: hmm' This day u show lot of love to your mommy han??? Me: i always do mommy from c***dhood. U know it na!!!! Mommy: okay. Leave me now & let me do snacks for your s*s. I afresh sit on chair & ask her humorous questions how this babe drinks? & how much. And about her youthful age' This babe likewise responded very much with smile'I showed her my cell'How to operate it & showed her some Hindi songs. Megan's Uncle Ch 01 part 3This babe went into his bedroom and looked throughout the shelves where this guy kept his DVD's.
There were lots of martial arts titles that this babe didn't wanna see and then this babe came to a pair of blank cases. This babe assumed they were pirate copies as this guy had lots of these and this babe looked at 'em. They were all rated. Almost any of 'em were rated as Okay, some as bad, and then this babe came across one that was rated as greater amount than Okay. Sex at the opticals shopHi , I'm Tarun from Bangalore. I'm 28 years old and smart looking. I'm working at a reputed company. Although I'm from Karnataka, people confuse me for a north Indian and many times begin speaking in Hindi. This is my 1st story so please forgive me for the mistakes. Any unsatisfied ladies from Bangalore can mail me at [email protected]
Coming to the story which happened a not many years back is about having sex with the optical showroom lady named Meena. My neighbor and her teenage daughters (1) part 3I had a good car and no ambition to own an exotic sports car, and we had traveled extensively so the solely places left to watch were these we had planned to visit jointly. Travelling on my own was sure to make me miss her even greater amount. So I became a semi-recluse, my solely real interest being my martial arts training where I could immerse my mind and body as I honed my skills to higher levels.
Dojo MojoMy ally is a owner of a tiny martial arts studio in city. Being a tiny business owner it's tough for him to be 2 places at one time. On days where this guy needs to go to the bank or run errands I volunteer to keep the doors open answer phones and keep an eye on the students during open practice time. In betwixt morning classes and evening classes Dom Frank allows student to come in and work on their forms and exercise free of charge.
Movie sex gameIn the early 90's I had a part time job in a movie store. We had a "back room" with all of the adult movies in it. We didn't actually advertise, but if somebody asked we would let 'em know.
One night I was working by myself and a honey in her early Twenty's came in. This babe looked around a bit and then came up to the counter and asked me if we had any adult movies. mommy maasi and s*s part 2i asked my mommy since we're not going anywhere so can i call over a ally of mine to have joy with us and bring a not many video DVD's along with him to which my mommy acceded so i called my ally, Akhil, and asked him to come over. This guy liked the idea and just now told yep and acceded to bring DVD's with him too. i ordered pizzas, cold drinks and another stuff to eat for all of us.

Canvas 14 creates sophisticated tech illustrations
Create technical illustrations with this powerful but intuitive enterprise-class application.
Canvas 14 from ACD Systems is an enterprise-class technical illustration program. With it, you can create, refine, and publish sophisticated illustrations, animations, and documents.
It combines the drawing and illustrating features of a premium graphics app, the 3D modeling and drafting capabilities of CAD, and the collaborative capabilities of a productivity suite in one surprisingly intuitive package. A quick-start guide, copious documentation, and a helpful sidebar called the Canvas Assistant made getting to know this capable but complex software easier than we expected.
To try Canvas 14 for free, you must select that option during installation and complete the process via e-mail notification, but it's quick and painless. The program's user interface is efficient and attractive, with a crisp and businesslike layout blending the look of an image editor, office application, and Web browser; it's easily customized, too. Canvas 14 opens with an optional Startup Dialog that let us quickly create a new Illustration, GIS Document, Publication, Animation, Presentation, or user-defined Custom Document. This dialog also offers a series of quick-start guides that open a detailed browser-based users' manual.
We started small by creating a new illustration. Our blank document opened in the main window in a split view with the Canvas Assistant, which provides context-specific information and help at each step. Canvas 14's floating tool palette and layers will be familiar to Photoshop users, as will the tool and brushes themselves and many other features. Canvas is the equal of top-class illustration and design tools, though, and it takes a bit of time to learn its many unique features, such as the SpriteEffects filter tool, or its productivity and collaboration features such as flowcharts and publishing. There's even a spell-checker.
Canvas 14 now includes advanced GIS features like positioning and tagging, plus the ability to import and export GIS information and to visualize GIS data. Canvas 14 shows again why premium tools are worth their price in the face of stiff competition from freeware, especially in a business setting, where efficiency, power, and support are reflected in documents and the bottom line.
