Atterbury, Muscatatuck key training venues
Aug 19, 2010
Secretary of the Army John McHugh visited Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center and Muscatatuck Urban Training Center Aug. 18 to meet with mobilizing and demobilizing servicemembers, permanent party leadership and civilian expeditionary workforce contractors and employees. Camp Atterbury, a national deployment center, has mobilized and demobilized more than 100,000 servicemembers for deployment since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. McHugh, who began his tour at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, said the two training centers discharge their mission in a way that should make them an integral part of our military training for many years to come. "The uniqueness that exists at Muscatatuck and that urban setting is unequal to anywhere that I've ever witnessed in the United States Army," said McHugh. "It's the flexibility and ability to build upon it and create a huge variety of [training] scenarios." McHugh had an informal lunch with troops training at Camp Atterbury to thank them for their service, recognize their contributions and hear what their concerns were. McHugh then toured Camp Atterbury facilities and observed a Provincial Reconstruction Team preparing for deployment to Afghanistan. As part of the real-world scenarios, Dari and Pashtu speakers are incorporated into the training events to add realism and to assist in cultural immersion training. PRT members, who come from the Air Force, Army, Navy and civilian agencies, are chosen for their specialties, which support the core mission of enabling Afghan governance and development. "The work that they do once they've trained here and forward deployed is vital in building that trust that is necessary for success in these kinds of theatres," said McHugh. "[Afghans] want the same things most folks want, and that is just a better chance for a better tomorrow. "To do that, they need things, from roads to food projects to water projects, etc. The PRTs are a way in which we can begin to convey America's interest about them as a people and not just there simply as a conqueror or an occupier." McHugh said it's "uplifting" to see the strategies of the nation's leadership being realized at Camp Atterbury and Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in training vignettes that are preparing people to go over and do important work. Army Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger, the adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard, thanked the secretary for visiting the center. "We're very proud of these facilities and our mission to train Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Marines to go off to war," he said. "It's something we take very seriously."

Astronomy on the Desktop
Celestia has a powerful scripting engine that allows you to produce tours of the universe. When you install Celestia, you get a script called demo.cel that gives you an idea of its capabilities. The add-on section of the Celestia Web site includes a full repository of available scripts.
Because so much work has been done to make it as scientifically accurate as possible, it also is being used in educational environments. Currently, 12 journeys are available that provide information for students and the general public on the wonders of the universe. As opposed to scripts, journeys give you more control over your speed and pace, allowing you to take more time at the areas that are of most interest to you.
When you install Celestia, you get the core part of the program and a few extra add-ons. Currently, more than 500 add-ons are available, and if you install them all, you will need more than 18GB of drive space. The main repository you should check out first is located at http://www.celestiamotherlode.net.
If you want to travel to another planet in the solar system, you can click on Navigation→Go to Object. Here you can enter the name of the object and how far away you want to be. Then, click on Go To, and you'll be taken there directly. Once you're there, you can rotate your camera view with the arrow keys. In this way, you can go to Mars and turn around and see what the sky looks like from there.
Figure 5. When you want to go to an object, you can set what object you want go to and how far away you are.
Figure 6. You can zoom in to see the Great Red Spot on Jupiter.
Figure 7. You can look out and see the night sky on Mars.
If you want to move around the orbit of the body you're currently at, you can use the Shift and arrow keys to slide around and see the whole surface. What you see when you are in orbit around another planet is a texture mapped onto the body.
Celestia's core installation includes a minimal set of textures that strive to be as accurate as possible. You can change the textures being used by including add-ons from the repository. Some of these include textures that allow you to see what the Earth may have looked like during the last Ice Age or even four billion years ago.
In 2007, Vincent Giangiulio created an add-on called Lua Edu Tools. This add-on provides all kinds of extra functionality to Celestia. A toolkit is displayed on the right side of the screen that provides sliders for controlling many of Celestia's parameters. It also provides a "cockpit" overlay, making it feel even more like you're flying through space. The default texture is the space shuttle, but you can use other ones too. Celestia also lets you use a joystick to control movement, so you can immerse yourself completely into your dream of flying through space.
You can share your experiences with others by saving still images or movies. If you click on File→Capture Image, Celestia lets you save a PNG or JPEG image file. Clicking on File→Capture Movie lets you save a movie of your travels. You can set the aspect ratio, the frame rate and the video quality. Once you click Save, Celestia will be ready to start recording. When you are ready, click the F11 key to start recording. When you're done, you can stop recording by clicking F12.
This article is only an introduction to what you can do. Hopefully, it inspires you to go explore the universe on your desktop. From there, bundle up and go spend the night out under the skies. You won't regret it.
Joey Bernard has a background in both physics and computer science. This serves him well in his day job as a computational research consultant at the University of New Brunswick. He also teaches computational physics and parallel programming.

Tons more available
The Ubuntu Wiki has a nice list with a ton more software, though I haven't had the chance to check any out aside from Stellarium and Celestia yet. Too much light pollution here to take a huge interest...
Nice article!
Good article, great software
I've been using both Stellarium and Celestia on Linux for many years, they are both excellent programs.
What about KStars
KStars should have been included in this article.
Love this stuff
I'll have to try Stellarium, been using Celestia for a long time now. Thanks...

Hi everyone! I am interested in getting a breast augmentation this summer when I will be 22 so I can get silicone. I already had a consultation with one plastic surgeon and he said the biggest implant he would give me was 315 mod plus, but I think that would be too small for what I want! Did any of you have similar stats? What size implants did you get? Any help would be much... more

Ever since puberty, I have been frustrated watching girls fill into their shirts, needing bras to hold them in. My bras only fit me on good days. Other days, I have to worry about flashing people whenever I bend over. That annoying gap between my bra and boob will hopefully become a thing of the past after February 13th. I will finally be able to say my bras don't fit me and actually be happy... more

Hi beautiful ladies! I am going in for my second consultation with Dr Elyassnia next wednesday.

I was one of the first girls to get boobs in middle school, and they seemed to be so big back then. 32A - Wow. They never got bigger. Finally at that place in life where I have enough money to stop making excuses for why am not doing this for myself. Turning 40 was the proverbial turning point. I'm 5'4" and 117 pounds.

First of all, this is a wonderful site! I'm so glad I found it. I've always been very very flat. Growing up, I was always envious of the girls that even had B cups! My two best friends are so well-endowed, but I remained flat as a board. At 15, I decided that I was going to get implants one day, but I gave myself 10 years to see if I still wanted them. Well, now I'm 25, and I DEFINITELY... more

KBR Inc. outlined potential terms of a settlement with the African Development Bank Group over corruption allegations in Nigeria.
KBR Inc. outlined potential terms of a settlement with the African Development Bank Group over corruption allegations in Nigeria.
All companies respond to the "Tone From the Top", KBR is no exception.
Companies like KBR that, seem to land all too often in the news for, illegal or corrupt activities, are unlikely to change their operating patterns as long as, over the long run, the incremental profit earned outweighs the incremental fines paid, and no company managers or board members go to prison.
If we really are serious about combatting corruption, and want to prevent government compliance laws and activities from taking on a reputation of "shadow-boxing money-grab with a wink charade", then it is high time to start prosecuting company officials.
So who did KBR and rip-off and how did they do it?
As regulatory expectations for the financial services industry continue to increase, many boards are engaging more deeply in risk governance by implementing a risk appetite framework, which is a structured approach to governance, management, measurement, monitoring and control of risk. This second article of a two-part series discusses elements of an effective risk appetite framework.

When asking Pirate fans during the late 70's and early 80's which pitcher could win the clutch game when the franchise needed it, they would simply answer, "The Candy Man Can"! The Candy man of course is the Bucs tall 6'7' southpaw, John Candelaria, who was not only the clubs top pitcher for most of 11 seasons between 1975 and 1985, but he was the one guy Pittsburgh had during the time that could be consistently counted on to win the tough game when they needed it.
The New York native broke into the majors in 1975 not long after being a non-roster invitee to spring training by the club. John won his first major league game against the Mets on June 20th and went on to have a solid rookie campaign with an 8-6 record and sparkling 2.76 ERA. The first sign that the fans of Pittsburgh had a pitcher they could depend on in the clutch occurred in game 3 of the NLCS. With the club down 2 games to none and facing elimination, Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh called on the tall southpaw to keep the club alive. Candelaria responded with a magnificent then NLCS record 14 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings of work. Despite the fact the Bucs eventually lost the game and the series, Candy made his mark and showed the club about the great success he would soon have.
In 1976, Candelaria became the ace of the staff with a 16-7 mark, that included wins in 8 consecutive decisions. He also put his name in the history books on August 9th. It was that night when the Pirates and John were facing the Los Angeles Dodgers on National TV. After getting out of a bases loaded situation in the third inning, the Candy Man settled down and tossed a 2-0 no-hitter. It became the first no-hitter pitched by a Pirate in the Steel City since Nick Maddox turned the trick in 1907.
Continuing to show improvement, Candelaria had his marquis season in 1977 when he was selected to his one and only all-star game. Candy Man went 20-5 to become the first Pirate since Vern Law in 1960 to win 20 games and the first lefty to win 20 for the franchise since the great Wilbur Cooper in 1924. To go along with his great season, John led the senior circuit in winning percentage with an .800 mark and topped the NL in ERA at 2.34, which made him the first National League pitcher to win both 20 games and the NL ERA title since Sandy Koufax in 1965. Despite his spectacular season, he finished only 5th in the CY Young voting in the National League.
After a decent season in 1978, Candelaria led the club in wins in the magical 1979 campaign with a 14-9 mark. John showed his mettle again with the club down 3 games to 2 against the Orioles in the World Series. He was named the starter of the all-important sixth game. A loss and the Bucs would end their miracle season without a championship and a win; they would live to play another day. Candy came up tough with seven shutout innings that helped propel the Pirates to the 1979 World Championship.
With five solid seasons behind him, John would suffer adversity over the next two campaigns, first with a losing season in 1980 and then with his first major injury in 1981. That season Candy tore his left Bicep Muscle, which sidelined him for most of the season. The injury would be one of several Candelaria suffered over the course of his 19 year career. Almost every time he went down, the New York native cameback to be an effective hurler once again.
That character showed itself in 1982 and 83 when the Candy Man battled back from a major injury to first post a 12-7 mark in '82 with a 2.94 ERA, 6th best in the league. The next season he had one of his best with a 15-8 mark. John finished 6th in the NL in both wins and strikeouts with 157.
Candelaria continued his winning ways in 1984 with a 12 win season and a NL 5th best 2.72 ERA. That season, Candelaria would get a rare thrill at the plate when he hit his first and only major league homer ever on July 19th. Unfortunately, after the season ended, the Candy Man had to have another operation, this time to remove a bone spur from his left elbow.
The 31-year old southpaw also suffered from a chronic bad back by 1985 and the toll of injuries prompted manager Chuck tanner to put the Candy man into the bullpen. Candelaria was not happy with the move, but performed decently with 9 saves and a 3.64 ERA.
On August 2nd, 1985, John career in the black and gold unfortunately came to an end when he was dealt to the Angels with Al Holland and George Hendrick for Pat Clemens, Bob Kipper and Mike Brown.
He had his left elbow operated on again in '86 for a bone spur and finally was activated in July 8th. Candelaria responded with the grit and determination he had become to be known for with a 10-2 record, back in the starting rotation. He also had a phenomenal ALCS against the Red Sox when he gave up 1 run in 10 2/3 innings. For his efforts he was named the AL comeback player of the year.
Candy finally got the opportunity to go home when he first went to the Mets in 1987 where he was 2-0 in three starts, and then was dealt to the Yankees. With the Bronx Bombers he proved to be one of their best hurlers in 1988 with a 13-7 record and 3.38 ERA.
Injuries unfortunately once again reared their ugly heads again, this time in the form of knee surgery. John had a tear repaired in his knee in 1988 and then needed arthroscopy surgery on his right knee the following year.
By this point and time, the Candy man's best days were behind him and went from the Expos to the Twins, Blue Jays and Dodgers before signing as a free agent with the Bucs in December of 1992. Although he didn't pitch effectively going 0-3 with an 8.24 ERA, it allowed Candelaria to rightfully finish his career where it began.
After he retired, the Candy Man decided to stay in Pittsburgh where he owns an advertising and event promotion agency called Here's the Pitch, where certainly he gives his clients the same clutch performance he gave baseball fans for the better part of 19 years.

Talatat are stone blocks of standardized size (ca. 27 by 27 by 54 cm, corresponding to ½ by ½ by 1 ancient Egyptian cubits) used during the reign of Akhenaten in the building of the Aton temples at Karnak and Akhetaten. The standardized size and their small weight made construction more efficient[1] Their use may have begun in the second year of Akhenton's reign.[2] After the Amarna Period talatat construction was abandoned, apparently not having withstood the test of time.[3]
Amenhotep IV talatats[edit]
The blocks used in the Temple of Amenhotep IV in Karnak and the other abandoned Aten temples were reused by Horemheb and Ramesses II as filler material for pylons and as foundations for large buildings. The Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak is built on thousands of these blocks, as is the Second Pylon.[4]
Tens of thousands of the talatat have been recovered. The decorated stones are being photographed and the scenes they depict are reconstructed.[5]
The term talatat was apparently used by the Egyptian workmen[clarification needed] and introduced into the language of archaeology by the Egyptologist H. Chevrier.[6] Some think it may be derived from Italian tagliata, meaning cut masonry.[7]
