- Exhibit 10.5.7-1 Verbatim Text of Section 3706 (RRA 98) from 26 USC 7804, dated July 22, 1998
The IRS is committed to the personal safety of its employees. This IRM explains the steps needed to acquire a pseudonym to assure IRS employees have the necessary protection to their personal safety and the prevention of harm or danger to themselves and their families.
This IRM updates and supersedes the previous IRM 1.2.4, "Use of Pseudonyms by IRS Employees" and contains new information, guidance, and procedures for all Service managers and employees who may request the use of a pseudonym. The IRM provides guidance based on the passage of the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 on July 22, 1998 (RRA 98).
Section 3706 of RRA 98 authorizes the use of pseudonyms by IRS employees. Listed below are some of the guidelines, requirements and conditions of having a pseudonym:
Employees who used pseudonyms before the enactment of RRA 98, Section 3706 were "grandfathered" in under the statute.
Section 3706 authorizes the use of pseudonyms by IRS employees only if adequate justification for the use is provided by the employee and its use is approved by the employee's manager.
Prior to RRA 98 Section 3706, the use of pseudonyms by IRS employees was permitted if the employee believed he or she could be identified by his or her last name so as to warrant the use of a pseudonym. Further, no managerial approval was required. It was only required that the pseudonym be registered with the employee's manager.
Section 3706 of RRA 98 is meant to eliminate the taxpayer perception that IRS employees avoid accountability for their actions through the use of pseudonyms, while still protecting an employee's right to use pseudonyms in appropriate circumstances.
The employee's manager must approve use of the pseudonym prior to its use. Requests to use pseudonyms that do not provide adequate justification will be denied on that basis.
See Exhibit 10.5.7-1 for the text of Section 3706 (RRA 98) from 26 USC 7804.
This subsection contains the definition of terms as used in the context of Section 3706 of RRA 98.
Protection of personal safety is keeping one's self or others from harm or danger. Reasons for concern for personal safety include:
Verbal and written threats of bodily harm or injury from a taxpayer or his or her representative directly involved in a case under review
Actual bodily harm or injury from a taxpayer or his or her representative
Taxpayer or his or her representative contacts an employee or employee's family member at his or her home without purpose of legitimate communication
Evidence of taxpayer or representative aggression towards any government employee
Employee's concern about personal safety based on a taxpayer's or his or her representative's threatening or aggressive acts against any other employee in the same or similar position or same or similar business unit
Employees have a responsibility to refer to TIGTA all assaults or threats to themselves or members of his or her family by a taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative.
Harassment is the use of words, gestures, or actions that tend to alarm, disturb, or abuse another person.
Adequate justification is defined as either of the following:
Credible evidence that establishes that a taxpayer or his or her representative engaged in physically, financially, or emotionally threatening activity, including but not limited to:
Committing a battery against the employee, including unwanted touching
Intimidating or attempting to intimidate the employee, such as with a show of weapons
Uttering statements or specific threats of bodily harm directed to the employee
Assaulting the employee
Making statements threatening financial harm to the employee
Harassing the employee
Contacting an employee at his or her home
Committing the acts set forth above against members of the employee's family
Committing the acts set forth in the above against another employee and the requesting employee has been assigned a case involving the same taxpayer
Situations where an employee's job or place of duty exposes him or her to an increased risk to personal safety or that of their family. This increased risk may be due to, but not limited to, any of the following:
A locator service shows the taxpayer, whose case the employee has been assigned, has a violent criminal history that would suggest a heightened risk of harassment toward an employee.
The employee is expected to encounter taxpayers or representatives who are active members of groups that advocate violence against IRS or other federal employees.
The employee is expected to encounter taxpayers who have been reported to have engaged in activities that physically, financially, or emotionally threaten or harm any other federal, state, county, or local government employee.
Documentation of credible evidence includes, but is not limited to, the examples listed below:
Signed statement by employee, family member(s) or witness, or a letter signed by the taxpayer or his or her representative which demonstrates any of the above noted criteria under adequate justification
A document from a financial institution showing that a taxpayer has tried to place liens on an employee's assets
Any taxpayer-specific information submitted to justify the request for a pseudonym remains the return information of the taxpayer and must be protected under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 6103. Any return information included with the application should be specifically designated as IRC 6103 material.
The following procedures must be used regarding the request and approval of pseudonyms by IRS employees:
Employees will submit their requests for pseudonyms to their manager via either encrypted E-mail or hard copy in a confidential envelope. Employee requests must provide adequate justification for the use of a pseudonym related to the protection of personal safety.
Employees' requests for the use of pseudonyms will include the pseudonym that they choose to use. Use the guidance described below when choosing a pseudonym:
Choose a common surname (last name).
In rare cases, where the legal first name is unique to the point of compromising the employee's identity, a first name may also be chosen.
Pseudonym initials can be consistent with real name initials.
Choose a name with which the employee is comfortable and which may be easily remembered.
Employees requesting the use of a pseudonym will not be able to utilize the pseudonym until notified that the request was approved by management or as a part of a resolution to the employee's grievance. The employee must also wait until confirmation is received from the Office of Privacy Compliance that the pseudonym has been added to Outlook and Discovery Directory.
An employee who receives an approved pseudonym must use it in the performance of all official duties during his or her hours of work. Should a pseudonym be compromised, the employee can request a replacement pseudonym without need for establishing adequate justification, as approval was previously given by the appropriate manager.
Documentation of pseudonym approvals will be maintained in employees' drop files.
If the manager approves the employee's request for the use of a pseudonym, the manager needs to register the pseudonym with the Office of Privacy Compliance. The manager will forward the request using encrypted E-mail to the Office of Privacy Compliance at *Pseudonym or email@example.com. The manager must include the following information within the E-mail:
Legal name of the employee
Chosen pseudonym of the employee
Employee's SEID
Within three business days from receipt of the request, the manager will inform the employee that the pseudonym request is approved with instructions that the employee must not begin using the pseudonym until advised by the Office of Privacy Compliance that the change from his or her legal name to a pseudonym has been made within Outlook and the Discovery Directory.
Once employees begin using their pseudonyms, managers will be responsible for insuring that the pseudonyms are shared with the employees' co-workers so that they do not address or refer to the pseudonym holders by their legal name, revealing their identity to taxpayers. Organizational listings of employees must also be updated to show only the pseudonym.
A pseudonym stays with an employee for the duration of his or her IRS career, unless the employee determines he or she no longer requires one.
If the employee's request is disapproved, within three business days from receipt of the request, the manager must return the request to the employee for additional justification. The manager must provide, in writing, the reason(s) for disapproval. The manager must also advise the employee, in writing, that they have five business days to provide the additional information. This can be done via encrypted E-mail or hard copy in a confidential envelope.
The employee will then have five business days from receipt of the disapproval, excluding absences from work, to provide additional written adequate justification to his or her manager.
Upon receipt of the additional justification, the manager will have three business days to review the request.
If the second request is approved, the manager will follow the guidance provided above in 10.5.7.4.1 (1) and (2).
If the manager disapproves the request a second time, it will be returned to the employee, in writing. The manager will provide the employee information that they have 3 days to submit their request to the next level of management.
The employee will then have the option within three business days, excluding absences from work, to provide additional justification and submit the request to the appropriate next level manager.
The next level manager will have three business days to review the request and approve or disapprove it. If disapproved at this level, the employee may file a grievance under terms of Article 41 of the National Agreement for bargaining unit employees, or utilize agency grievance procedures for non-bargaining unit employees.
The Office of Privacy Compliance will process all requests for pseudonyms received by the manager of record within 14 business days.
A copy of the encrypted E-mail documenting the approval of a request for a pseudonym will be maintained by the Office of Privacy Compliance.
The Office of Privacy Compliance will be responsible for managing and maintaining the official Pseudonym Master List and all other related files where pseudonym information will be stored. The Office of Privacy Compliance will insure that all information pertaining to pseudonym holders will be maintained in a secured manner consistent with IRS security and privacy policy requirements.
The Pseudonym Master List will be updated each month to ensure that the information is correct.
Visit the Office Of Privacy, Information Protection and Data Security Pseudonym Website for up-to-date information regarding the IRS Pseudonym program at: http://irweb.irs.gov/AboutIRS/bu/pipds/pip/privacy/pseudonym/default.aspx.
The following procedures must be used regarding the withdrawal from the Pseudonym program by IRS employees:
When an employee no longer desires a pseudonym, the employee must notify his or her manager via either encrypted E-mail or hard copy in a confidential envelope.
If the manager receives such notification, or when the pseudonym holder separates from the IRS, the manager must then send an encrypted E-mail to the Office of Privacy Compliance at *Pseudonym or firstname.lastname@example.com stating that the employee no longer requires a pseudonym. The manager must include the employee's legal name, the employee's assigned pseudonym, the employee's SEID, and the reason for withdrawal from the program.
The Office of Privacy Compliance will perform the necessary steps to remove the employee's pseudonym records from the Pseudonym Master List, and request that pseudonyms be removed from IRS directories.
Employees should not contact the Employee Resource Center (ERC) or the IRS Help Desk to withdraw from the pseudonym program. Employees should submit their request through their manager to the Office of Privacy Compliance at the firstname.lastname@example.com mailbox.
Employee will be provided with a pocket commission in the employee's approved pseudonym per the instructions found in IRM 10.2.6.9, Use of Pseudonyms on Pocket Commission.
Please note that IRM 10.2.6.11 (5) states that "Pocket Commissions issued in a registered pseudonym may not be used as retirement mementos, for honorary presentations, or for similar purposes. These commissions must be recovered and destroyed."
RRA 98 Section 3705(a) provides identification requirements for all IRS employees (including employees with a pseudonym) working tax related matters.
IRS employees (including pseudonym holders) are required to give their name, and unique identification number (badge number), during taxpayer telephone, face to face, and written contact. In addition, a telephone number is required on all taxpayer correspondence. This will provide taxpayers with enough information to identify an IRS employee who may have previously assisted with tax related matters.
The term "ID Card Number" refers to an employee's badge number only. It should not be construed to be the employee's enforcement shield or pocket commission number.
Employees who have a request for a pseudonym approved will be given a new Legacy ID Card with a new ten-digit ID number. Once negotiations are complete on HSPD-12, pseudonym Legacy Cards will be replaced with pseudonym HSPD-12 Smart Cards.
On manually generated and handwritten correspondence, employees with an approved pseudonym must use their pseudonym name and generated Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) or other unique letter system number. If an IDRS/unique letter system number is not generated, use of an employee's unique identifying number is required.
While reviewing taxpayer correspondence and observing employee telephone or in-person contacts with taxpayers or taxpayers' representatives, managers must ensure that the employee name (approved pseudonym) and generated IDRS/unique letter system number, or unique identifying number, are properly used.
When attempting to locate a specific employee at the insistence of the taxpayer or the taxpayer's representative, managers must ensure that only the approved pseudonym used by the Service employee is disclosed.
Pseudonym lists are included in the IRS system of records, General Personnel and Payroll Records, Treasury/IRS 36.003, and must be treated accordingly for disclosure purposes.
Sworn documents and/or any other document filed with any court, including but not limited to affidavits used in connection with enforcing summonses and obtaining writs of entry, may only be signed with the approved pseudonym if the document states that it is signed using a pseudonym. Absent such a statement, the document must be signed using the declarant's legal name and should be filed with the court as a sealed document.
Employees testifying in court must use their legal name unless, prior to giving testimony, the court has been informed and consented to the employee's use of the approved pseudonym.
The signing of sworn documents or any other document filed with any court and the testimonial use of pseudonyms will require close coordination with the appropriate Chief Counsel office.
Employees who use an approved pseudonym must use it with all internal and external contacts, and will not be permitted to change back and forth between their pseudonym and legal name.
Once the employee begins using the approved pseudonym, the manager must ensure that the employee's co-workers and associates are informed of the pseudonym, and explain that all employees must use the pseudonym when speaking of or to the employee.
Managers of pseudonym holders must ensure that office documents including team listings, organization charts, and telephone directories are updated to reflect each employee's pseudonym.
Managers and employees who work with a pseudonym holder must never reveal the legal name of the pseudonym holder to anyone internally or externally.
Managers and employees who work with a pseudonym holder must introduce the pseudonym holder by the pseudonym name, not his or her legal name, in all situations.
IRMs for Services and Enforcement and Operations Support that may impact pseudonym holders must be updated to comply with the provisions of RRA 98, Section 3706, and the provisions of this IRM.
Casework, and all other work, that could compromise the legal identity of a pseudonym holder, will not be assigned to the pseudonym holder. For example, a customer service representative, revenue agent or other employee who is a pseudonym holder, would not be assigned a case in which the taxpayer was already aware of the employee's legal name due to a previous case.
Pseudonym employees are allowed to acquire an agency credit card in the pseudonym name.
The pseudonym credit card can be used for all official travel, including union travel for approved union training, as that is also official time approved by the agency. In such cases, pseudonym employees are still required to comply with the Government bank card provisions regarding timely payments on the credit card.
Employees are required to use their legal name when purchasing airline tickets .
Just as pseudonym employees must use their pseudonym for all official purposes, all agency employees and managers must correspond and converse with, or about, pseudonym employees using only the employees' pseudonyms.
The only exceptions are pertinent personnel matters (e.g. payroll). For example, employee lists, including E-mail distribution lists, to, or about, pseudonym employees must include pseudonyms rather than employees' legal names. Otherwise, pseudonym employees' legal identities could ultimately be compromised.
To ensure pseudonym names are properly used by all IRS employees, other than for pertinent personnel matters, employee name lists and distribution lists should be acquired from Discovery Directory only. Information acquired from personnel systems such as HR Connect, TAPS, and TIMIS, contain legal names and the use of these personnel systems could compromise the identity of a pseudonym holder.
Any written correspondence including a pseudonym holder's pseudonym and legal name must be protected. E-mail including such information must be encrypted.
Pub. L. 105-206, title III, Sec. 3706, July 22, 1998, 112 Stat. 778, provided that:
In General. - Any employee of the Internal Revenue Service may use a pseudonym only if -
adequate justification for the use of a pseudonym is provided by the employee, including protection of personal safety; and
such use is approved by the employee's supervisor before the pseudonym is used.
Effective Date. - Subsection (a) shall apply to requests made after the date of the enactment of this Act [July 22, 1998].

Chris Kattan
Jump to
A fearlessly outrageous comic who trained with The Groundlings, actor Chris Kattan broke out as a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ) and was on of the long-running show's stars from 1996-2003. Powered by a chameleonic charisma and aggressive energy that belied his small frame, Kattan created many popular impressions and characters, including the exotic dancer Mango, the monkey man Mr. Peepers, the wannabe Goth teen Azrael Abyss and most memorably with Will Ferrell, as a pair of nightclub-hopping, head-bopping brothers. So popular was the latter skits that Kattan and Ferrell wrote and starred in the movie version, "A Night at the Roxbury" (1998), though it fizzled at the box office. He went on to make small appearances in the horror film "House on Haunted Hill" (1999) and the bizarre black comedy "Monkeybone" (2001), before landing his first starring role as the Mafioso man-child "Corky Romano" (2001). Kattan essayed the colorfully quirky villain Mr. Feather in "Undercover Brother" (2002), but struggled to land high-profile roles after he left "SNL." After starring in a miniseries that detailed his attempts to become a movie star in India, "Bollywood Hero" (IFC, 2009), Kattan charmed in a goofy guest spot on "How I Met Your Mother" (CBS, 2005- ) and recurred as Patricia Heaton's likable loser co-worker Bob on "The Middle." (ABC, 2009- ). Although regaining the height of stardom he achieved in his "SNL" prime proved difficult, Kattan remained a vibrant comedic wild card, capable of injecting a fascinatingly chaotic energy into just about any project.
Born Oct. 19, 1970, in Sherman Oaks, CA, Kattan was the son of Hajnalka E. Biro, a Hungarian model and Kip King, an actor who was a founder member of the famed Los Angeles acting troupe, The Groundlings. Raised by his mother and psychoanalyst stepfather in a Zen community outside of Los Angeles, Kattan and his family relocated to Brisbane Island, WA for his high school years, where the young man developed a reputation as the class clown. Returning to California, Kattan joined The Groundlings alongside future peers like Jennifer Coolidge and supported himself with a variety of odd jobs. After a handful of minor roles, including guest spots on "NewsRadio" (NBC, 1995-99) and "Grace Under Fire" (ABC, 1993-98), he earned his big break in 1996 when "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ) hired him. Quickly emerging as a nervy, aggressive asset, Kattan developed a reputation for comedic fearlessness with characters like Suel Forrester, the vaguely Cajun, gibberish-spewing drill sergeant, and Mr. Peepers, the apple-spewing monkey man. As meek Goth-wannabe teen Azrael Abyss, Kattan displayed a sillier side, while he earned laughs for a masterfully absurd performance as Mango, the temperamental stripper no male or female can resist. Meanwhile, he delved into a number of celebrity impersonations, with a wide range that included Clay Aiken, Al Pacino and Queen Elizabeth II.
Though many of Kattan's impressions and recurring roles were memorable and sometimes iconic, it was alongside Will Ferrell as The Roxbury Guys, a pair of nightclub-loving, rayon suit-wearing brothers, that he created a truly breakout character. While the recurring sketches featuring the overconfident brothers were marked by physical comedy and an almost complete absence of dialogue except for the omnipresent dance hit "What is Love" by Haddaway, the inevitable film spin-off, "A Night at the Roxbury" (1998), co-scripted by Kattan, was a more straightforward comedy. Despite scathing reviews and a thin premise, the film was modest box office success. He followed up with a turn as nervous victim of the spooky "House on Haunted Hill" (1999), while n 2001, as "SNL" began to be dominated by newer stars like Jimmy Fallon, Kattan turned more of his focus to film while staying active on the series. Critics applauded Kattan's physical comedy as the deceased organ-donating gymnast who houses the mind and spirit of Brendan Fraser thanks to a deal with Death (Whoopi Goldberg), in the bizarre animated and live-action hybrid, "Monkeybone" (2001).
Kattan brought the full force of his upbeat, effete man-child act to his starring role in the mob comedy "Corky Romano" (2001). Critics savaged the film upon release, with some declaring it the worst movie of the year. Adding insult to injury, the movie made less than $25 million at the box office. Undeterred, he played the villainously over-the-top Mr. Feather in the surprise Eddie Griffin sleeper "Undercover Brother" (2002) amidst quietly leaving "SNL" after the 2002-03 season. After a lower-key turn as Parker Posey's boyfriend in the gay-themed romantic comedy "Adam & Steve" (2005), he spent the remainder of the decade working steadily in small roles or lower-profile projects, including an uncredited cameo as a burglar in "Nancy Drew" (2007). Following a starring turn in a miniseries that purportedly showcased his attempts to become a movie star in India, "Bollywood Hero" (IFC, 2009), Kattan was hired to host "Game Show in My Head" (CBS, 2009), only to be fired and replaced with Joe Rogan before the series aired. Meanwhile, the actor made a memorably meta guest starring appearance on the hit sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother" (CBS, 2005- ), playing the obnoxious film version of the show's main character, Ted (Josh Radnor). He regained some professional footing with a likable recurring role as Bob, the lonely but well-meaning coworker of Patricia Heaton's used-car saleswoman on the widely praised sitcom "The Middle" (ABC, 2009- ).

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Meets The Office For the Olympics!
It was only a matter of time before someone had this idea.
While everyone is ramping up for the Olympic Summer Games, which start in T-minus one month in London town, BBC America is premiering its new mockumentary comedy Twenty Twelve tonight, which puts Hugh Bonneville (The Earl of Grantham on Downton Abbey) in an Office-like tizzy as he prepares for the Games and dodges every logistical disaster, miscommunication and awkward moment that could possibly come his way.
The show will demonstrate, to hilarious degree, just how insane preparing a big city like London for the Olympics can get, but all with the quaint "care-for-a-spot-of-tea?" trappings of Bonneville and his English cohorts on the program's fictional "Olympic Deliverance Committee."
Twenty Twelve makes its U.S. television premiere tonight at 9 p.m. on BBC America. Carry on!

Don't just call us writers. I think that sells us short. We are journalists.
A writer asserts that something is true (or not) just because they wrote it; a journalist verifies it. Journalists are concerned with the methods of uncovering, analyzing, and verifying the truth. That usually is accomplished through the sources we talk to.
Sources don't just verify a story, they also lend their voice to its telling, and selecting between sources can take a story in different directions, improve it, or ruin it.
We'll be talking about the topic of selecting sources — what I call "casting" — at the next Freelance Writers Meetup, Journalists, Sources and the Art of "Casting" a Story, co-hosted by ProfNet, April 11, at PR Newswire's offices in New York.
The Freelance Writers Meetup has been Contently's opportunity to make physical the resources and knowledge we're trying to create and share with writers. The coming Meetup is our first with a co-host, one that is equally committed to the task. ProfNet, part of PR Newswire, is a service that connects journalists on deadline with expert sources. Public relations personnel pay ProfNet for the privilege to read reporters' queries and connect their clients, mostly busuiness executives and university researchers, to reporters.
Bob Van Voris, of Bloomberg, and Kaitlin Ugolik, of Law360, will walk our guests through the art of casting a story by identifying the strongest sources, evaluating their level of knowledge, and connecting with hard to find experts. We will also explore using anonymous sources, managing sources and the role of editors.
Hope to see you out April 11. Meanwhile, Contently portfolio users are encouraged to use ProfNet experts to bolster your next story. Submit your query at this link: http://pbli.sh/pnquery.

My co-worker went HERE and made this for me:
I never got into the Tonight Show much since Leno took the reigns, but this is hilarious - click here
When he left late night there was a huge void that has never been filled and I don't think it can be. For one, the talk show hosts of today are either terrible listeners who are really only in it for themselves (setting up the next joke, not trying to bring out the best in their guests), or they are not funny: The greatest current talk show host is Charlie Rose, but I would hate to sit through one of his monologues. Even if there was a great host out there, the nature of TV has changed dramatically - 3,000 channels. Everyone's got a show now. I think that Carson made a mistake by choosing Leno - he really is an awful talk show host. He is a very hard worker and can be funny, but as I said, not a good listener at all. Why ask a question if you aren't going to listen to what the guest says? He has improved. Letterman is hilarious but same thing - not a good listener. He is better than Leno at it though - he has improved the most. I think Letterman would have been better than Leno in the Tonight Show format - I think he understood that would have given him a chance to grow and get out of the rut he felt he was in. He's moved on though and has done some of that anyway. It's common knowledge that he was hurt by Carson's decision. I think I understand why Carson went the way he did with those two options but in hindsight it was a mistake, in my opinion.
It has been announced that Conan O'Brian will replace Leno in what, the year 3012 I think? He's improved a lot in his interviewing, but still, not really that great an interviewer.
Carson had the perfect mix of good interviewer and funny man. Some of my favorite times on his show were when he had real people on - like old ladies. He would bring them out and let them impart their wisdom or make us smile. He could bring on kids and he was great with them. Have you seen Letterman interview a real person? I saw a show once when he had this 80 year old on and he made fun of her and made her so nervous she couldn't do whatever it was she was supposed to be doing. I was actually livid. When I calmed down I thought what an opportunity he lost by not letting us see this woman at her best. And I really missed Carson.
He lived out the rest of his life in relative seclusion...very comfortably. Lots of time on the boat. Every now and then he'd send a joke in to Letterman and he'd do it in his monologue - I guess Carson got a big kick out of that. RIP Great One.
Here's the Reuters bio:
Famed TV Entertainer Johnny Carson Dead
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Johnny Carson, the king of U.S. late-night television as host of NBC's "The Tonight Show" for nearly 30 years, died on Sunday at age 79 after a long battle with emphysema.
"Mr. Carson passed away peaceful early Sunday morning. He was surrounded by his family," Carson's nephew, Jeff Sotzing, said in a statement, adding that their loss will be immeasurable.
Carson hosted "The Tonight Show" from the fall of 1962 to the spring of 1992, dominating the late-night TV scene and helping launch the careers of dozens of entertainers, including Joan Rivers, David Letterman and Carson's successor, Jay Leno.
Aspiring comedians knew that being motioned over to the guest couch by Carson after performing their stand-up routine could instantly transform them from virtual unknowns to stars.
"This is the end of an era," Rivers, a frequent guest host on the show, told Reuters. "With Carson you went on once. You had his blessing, and the world knew you were funny."
Carson's first guest was Groucho Marx, and the show steadily gained stature as a pop-cultural touchstone. One memorable evening in 1969 included the widely watched on-air wedding of Tiny Tim to Miss Vicki.
Carson's final "Tonight Show" broadcast aired on Friday, May 22, 1992, and was seen by 55 million viewers. He was replaced the following Monday by Leno.
Sidekick Ed McMahon introduced Carson nightly with the rallying cry of "Heeeeeeere's Johnny!" and the show's blend of humor, music and conversation was the last thing millions of Americans saw before drifting off to sleep.
"I am one of the lucky people in the world. I have found something I liked to do, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it," a teary-eyed Carson said as he closed the show for the last time. "I bid you a very heartfelt goodnight."
In later years, Carson became something of a recluse in his Malibu, California, home, rarely venturing into the public eye.
After a 1999 quadruple bypass heart operation, Carson cut back on his tennis and discontinued his annual treks to Africa, the French Riviera and the Wimbledon (news - web sites) tennis tournament. According to friends, he had battled emphysema for years.
He was third permanent host of "The Tonight Show," following in the footsteps of Steve Allen and Jack Paar.
Born in Iowa and raised in Nebraska, the tall, lanky comedian became renowned for his everyman charm and made political humor a staple of his late-night opening monologue.
Politicians could test their popularity by Carson's monologue -- a joke about them might set people laughing and spell trouble -- as Richard Nixon found out when Carson started making Watergate jokes. Carson stopped the Nixon jokes when the president resigned and took a helicopter ride into exile.
President Bush (news - web sites) felt the Carson's sting when he reneged on his "Read my lips, no new taxes" pledge, inspiring the comedian to say Bush's next step would be "Read my lips, no new promises."
The family said there would be no memorial service.

CHESTER COUNTY, PA - April 27, 2011 - The housing industry in the U.S. is still reeling from the effects of the recession, but homeowners are increasingly performing their own updates to their homes as they look to increase their value while they wait out the slumping market. Ryan Madson of the Philadelphia Phillies is currently building his own energy efficiency home with tools like spray foam, the MLB team reports on its website. Madson, a pitcher who will be a free agent at the end of this season, is currently constructing an environmentally friendly home in Chester County, Pennsylvania. When asked why he chose to construct a home that adheres to strict energy efficiency standards, Madson said he and his family "did it because it's the right thing to do." Moreover, the work helps to cut greenhouse gas emissions, Madson affirmed. "It reduces your carbon footprint. Everybody can lower their carbon footprint. And forget about the carbon footprint for a second - it saves you money," Madson asserted. The home's renovations include upgrades to its framework, Madson said. Contractors are also employing soybean-based spray foam insulation throughout the home to shore up any leaks and cracks around doors and windows, and in the foundation or crawl spaces in the attic. Energy saving lighting, high efficiency windows and a geothermal heating and cooling system are also being installed. "We're building the house right," Madson said. "Your revolving costs of owning a house, they're a third of the price. Instead of paying $1,200 a month or whatever for utilities, they're going to be $400 a month. In the long run, you're going to save money."

McElwain Creek is a second order
tributary to lower Nevada Creek. It flows northeast from its headwaters in the Garnet
Mountains and onto the Nevada Valley before entering Nevada Creek at river mile 1.2.
McElwain Creek headwaters on Bureau of Land Management property before entering a large
private cattle ranch in the lower reaches.
In order to prioritize restoration
resources, we developed a fisheries-based restoration priority scorecard, based on
biological, social and financial considerations, for 83 impaired tributaries of the
Blackfoot River. McElwain Creek ranked 21 of 83 streams surveyed.
In 1998, we conducted fish population
surveys in two sections, one located on Bureau of Land Management land at approximately
stream mile 2.5. Another section was established on private land at stream mile 1.0.
Westslope cutthroat trout were the only fish species captured in either station. We
collected tissue samples from 25 fish in the upstream station and determined they are
genetically pure strains of westslope cutthroat trout. The catch per unit effort (CPUE) at
stream mile 2.5 was 14.4 fish/100 feet verses 0.9 fish/100 feet at stream mile 1.0.
Once McElwain Creek leaves the
mountains, most of its flow is seasonally diverted for irrigation and has several fish
passage barriers. The 1998 assessment also indicated this reach was incised with eroding
banks and high water turbidity. In 2000, we worked with the rancher to remove a large
feedlot at river mile 1.5. This involved developing off-site water and establishing a
grazing system on the lower two miles of McElwain Creek.

Frigg (or Frigga) is a major goddess in Norse paganism, a subset of Germanic paganism. She is said to be the wife of Odin, and is the "foremost among the goddesses". Frigg appears primarily in Norse mythological stories as a wife and a mother. She is also described as having the power of prophecy yet she does not reveal what she knows. Frigg is described as the only one other than Odin who is permitted to sit on his high seat Hlidskjalf and look out over the universe. The English term Friday derives from the Anglo-Saxon name for Frigg, Frigga.
Frigg's children are Baldr and Höðr, her stepchildren are Thor, Hermóðr, Heimdall, Tyr, Vidar, Váli, and Skjoldr. Frigg's companion is Eir, a goddess associated with medical skills. Frigg's attendants are Hlín, Gná, and Fulla.
In the Poetic Edda poem Lokasenna 26, Frigg is said to be Fjörgyns mær ("Fjörgynn's maiden"). The problem is that in Old Norse mær means both "daughter" and "wife", so it is not fully clear if Fjörgynn is Frigg's father or another name for her husband Odin, but Snorri Sturluson interprets the line as meaning Frigg is Fjörgynn's daughter (Skáldskaparmál 27), and most modern translators of the Poetic Edda follow Snorri. The original meaning of fjörgynn was the earth, cf. feminine version Fjorgyn, a byname for Jörð, the earth.
The asterism Orion's Belt was known as "Frigg's Distaff/spinning wheel" (Friggerock) or "Freyja's Distaff" (Frejerock). Some have pointed out that the constellation is on the celestial equator and have suggested that the stars rotating in the night sky may have been associated with Frigg's spinning wheel.
Frigg's name means "love" or "beloved one" (Proto-Germanic *frijjō, cf. Sanskrit priyā "dear woman") and was known among many northern European cultures with slight name variations over time: e.g. Friggja in Sweden, Frīg (genitive Frīge) in Old English, and Frika in Wagner's operas. Modern English translations have sometimes altered Frigg to Frigga. It has been suggested that "Frau Holle" of German folklore is a survival of Frigg.
Frigg's hall in Asgard is Fensalir, which means "Marsh Halls. This may mean that marshy or boggy land was considered especially sacred to her but nothing definitive is known. The goddess Saga, who was described as drinking with Odin from golden cups in her hall "Sunken Benches," may be Frigg by a different name.
Frigg was a goddess associated with married women. She was called up by women to assist in giving birth to children, and Scandinavians used the plant Lady's Bedstraw (Galium verum) as a sedative, they called it Frigg's grass).
Frigg plays a major role in section 49 of the 13th century Prose Edda book Gylfaginning written by Snorri Sturluson, where a version of a story relating the death of Baldr is recorded by Snorri. Baldr has had a series of ominous dreams. As Baldr was popular amongst the Æsir, after Baldr told the Æsir about his dreams, they met together at the thing and decided it wise to provide a truce for Baldr that would maintain his safety. Frigg, his mother, here takes an oath from all things, which includes disease, poisons, the elements, objects and all living beings that none will harm Baldr.
After the oaths were taken, the Æsir, aware of Baldr's newly gained invincibility, had Baldr stand in front of the thing. There, the Æsir hit Baldr with blows, shot objects at him, and some would hit him with stones. Nothing harmed him and everyone felt it was remarkable.
Loki witnessed this and was angered by Baldr's invulnerability. Loki changed himself into a woman and visited Frigg at her hall Fensalir. There, Frigg asked the woman if she knew what was happening at the thing. The woman told her that the Æsir were shooting at Baldr and yet he remained unharmed. Frigg responded that nothing could harm Baldr, as she had taken oaths from all things.
The woman asked Frigg if all things had indeed promised not to hurt Baldr, to which Frigg reveals that:
"A shoot of wood grows west of Valhalla. It is called mistletoe, and it seemed too young for me to demand its oath."Immediately after Frigg revealed this, the woman vanished. Loki then took hold of the mistletoe, broke it off and went to the thing.
There, Höðr, since he was blind, stood at the edge of the circle of people. Loki offered to help Höðr in honoring Baldr by shooting things at him. Höðr took the mistletoe from Loki and, following Loki's directions, shot at Baldr. The mistletoe went directly through Baldr and he fell to the ground. Baldr was dead.
The gods were speechless and devastated, unable to react due to their grief. After the gods gathered their wits from the immense shock and grief of Baldr's death, Frigg asked the Æsir who amongst them wished "to gain all of her love and favor" by riding the road to Hel. Whomever agreed was to offer Hel a ransom in exchange for Baldr's return to Asgard. Hermóðr agrees to this and set off with Sleipnir to Hel.
While Hermóðr rides to Hel, Frigg arrives at the cremation with Odin, Hugin and Munin, and the Valkyries. With them came various other gods and beings during which a grand funeral for Baldr was held. After a long journey, Hermóðr arrives in Hel, meets with Hel and pleads for the return of Baldr on behalf of Frigg. Hel gives the condition that all things must weep for Baldr if Baldr will be returned to Asgard. Nanna, the wife of Baldr (whose heart burst upon seeing the corpse of Baldr and was placed upon the pyre with Baldr), gives gifts to Hermóðr to return to Asgard with. "Along with other gifts", only two gifts are specifically mentioned: a white linen robe for Frigg and a golden ring for Fulla.
The Æsir then sent forth messengers to all things to have them weep for Baldr, so that he may return from Hel. All things did but a giantess by the name of Þökk, regarding whom Snorri writes that "people believe that the giantess was Loki". Afterwards, in sections 50 and 51, a series of events occur where the gods take revenge upon Loki by binding him and thus furthering the onset of Ragnarök, though Frigg is not mentioned further in these sections.
"Othin [Odin] had two brothers. One was called Ve, and the other Vili. These, his brothers, governed the realm when he was gone. One time when Othin was gone to a great distance, he stayed away so long that the Æsir thought he would never return. Then his brothers began to divide his inheritance; but his wife Frigg they shared between them. However, a short while afterwards, Othin returned and took possession of his wife again.
The same story is referenced in one stanza of the poem, Lokasenna, in which Loki insults Frigg by accusing her of infidelity with Odin's brothers:
Hush thee, Frigg, who art Fjorgyn's daughter:Modern scholars such as Lee Hollander explain that Lokasenna was intended to be humorous and that the accusations thrown by Loki in the poem are not necessarily to be taken as "generally accepted lore" at the time it was composed. Rather they are charges that are easy for Loki to make and difficult for his targets to disprove, or which they do not care to refute.
Thou hast ever been mad after men.
Vili and Ve, thou, Vithrir's spouse, [Vithrir=Odin]
Didst fold to thy bosom both.
Comparisons have been proposed regarding Frigg's role in this story to that of sacred queens during certain periods in ancient Egypt, when a king was king by virtue of being the queen's husband.
The Langobard historian Paul the Deacon, who died in southern Italy in the 790s, was proud of his tribal origins and related how his people once had migrated from southern Scandinavia. In his work Historia gentis Langobardorum, Paul relates how Odin's wife Frea (Frigg/Freyja) had given victory to the Langobards in a war against the Vandals. She is depicted as a wife who knows how to get her own way even though her husband thinks he is in charge. The Winnili and the Vandals were two warring tribes. Odin favored the Vandals, while Frea favored the Winnili. After a heated discussion, Odin swore that he would grant victory to the first tribe he saw the next morning upon awakening-- knowing full well that the bed was arranged so that the Vandals were on his side. While he slept, Frea told the Winnili women to comb their hair over their faces to look like long beards so they would look like men and turned the bed so the Winnili women would be on Odin's side. When he woke up, Odin was surprised to see the disguised women first and asked who these long bearded men were, which was where the tribe got its new name, the Langobards ("longbeards"). Odin kept his oath and granted victory to the Winnili (now known as the Lombards), and eventually saw the wisdom of Frea's choice.
"At this time there was one Odin, who was credited over all Europe with the honour, which was false, of godhead, but used more continually to sojourn at Upsala; and in this spot, either from the sloth of the inhabitants or from its own pleasantness, he vouchsafed to dwell with somewhat especial constancy.
The kings of the North, desiring more zealously to worship his deity, embounded his likeness in a golden image; and this statue, which betokened their homage, they transmitted with much show of worship to Byzantium, fettering even the effigied arms with a serried mass of bracelets. Odin was overjoyed at such notoriety, and greeted warmly the devotion of the senders. But his queen Frigg, desiring to go forth more beautified, called smiths, and had the gold stripped from the statue.
Odin hanged them, and mounted the statue upon a pedestal, which by the marvellous skill of his art he made to speak when a mortal touched it. But still Frigg preferred the splendour of her own apparel to the divine honours of her husband, and submitted herself to the embraces of one of her servants; and it was by this man's device she broke down the image, and turned to the service of her private wantonness that gold which had been devoted to public idolatry. Little thought she of practicing unchastity, that she might the easier satisfy her greed, this woman so unworthy to be the consort of a god; but what should I here add, save that such a godhead was worthy of such a wife? So great was the error that of old befooled the minds of men.
Thus Odin, wounded by the double trespass of his wife, resented the outrage to his image as keenly as that to his bed; and, ruffled by these two stinging dishonours, took to an exile overflowing with noble shame, imagining so to wipe off the slur of his ignominy. At home, Frigg went with a certain Mith-Othin and took over Odin's properties, until Odin came back and drove them away. Frigg's death later cleared Odin's name and he regained his reputation." (Gesta Danorum, Book I)
In Saxo's Gesta Danorum, however, the gods and goddesses are heavily euhemerized, and Saxo's view on pagan deities is extremely biased, therefore most stories related to pagan gods written in it might not exist in ancient lore. Georges Dumézil linked Saxo's account of Frigg's infidelity and the stolen gold with the burning of Gullveig.
Frigg is the highest goddess of the Æsir, while Freyja is the highest goddess of the Vanir. Many arguments have been made both for and against the idea that Frigg and Freyja are really the same goddess, avatars of one another. Some arguments are based on linguistic analysis, others on the fact that Freyja wasn't known in southern Germany, only in the north, and in some places the two goddesses were considered to be the same, while in others they were considered to be different. There are clearly many similarities between the two: both had flying cloaks of falcon feathers and engaged in shape-shifting, Frigg was married to Odin while Freyja was married to Óðr, both had special necklaces, both had a personification of the Earth as a parent, both were called upon for assistance in childbirth, etc.
There is also an argument that Frigg and Freyja are part of a triad of goddesses (together with a third goddess such as Hnoss or Iðunn) associated with the different ages of womankind. The areas of influence of Frigg and Freyja don't quite match up with the areas of influence often seen in other goddess triads. This may mean that the argument isn't a good one, or it may show something interesting about northern European culture as compared to Celtic and southern European culture.
Finally, there is an argument is that Frigg and Freyja are similar goddesses from different pantheons who were first conflated into each other and then later seen as separate goddesses again (see also Frige). This is consistent with the theological treatment of some Greek, Roman, and Egyptian deities in the late classical period.

Vegeta (food)
Vegeta is a condiment which is a mixture primarily of salt with flavour enhancers, spices and various vegetables invented in 1959 by a Croatian scientist Zlata Bartl, and has become a product sold worldwide.
Vegeta is produced by Podravka, a company from Koprivnica, Croatia, as well as a subsidiary of Podravka in Poland[1] and two Vegeta licensees from Austria and Hungary. There have been around 50 instances of other companies attempting to reproduce the product.
Vegeta was conceived in 1958 in Podravka's laboratories and professor Zlata Bartl was head of the team that invented it.[1] The product was first sold in Yugoslavia in 1959 as "Vegeta 40",[1] and has since become so popular that the production increased by several orders of magnitude[citation needed]. In 1967 Vegeta was first exported to Hungary and the USSR[1] and is now sold in around 40 countries worldwide.[1]
The ingredients of Vegeta include (according to the 2008 product packaging):
- salt max. 56%
- dehydrated vegetables 15.5% (carrot, parsnip, onions, celery, parsley leaves)
- flavour enhancers (monosodium glutamate max. 15%, disodium inosinate)
- sugar
- spices
- cornstarch
- riboflavin (for yellow coloring)

Before Friday, the last survivor had been found April 28, and even her story ended tragically. As workers tried to free Shahina Akter, a fire broke out and she died of smoke inhalation.
Crews were instead engaged in the painstaking work of trying to remove bodies so the victims' families could bury their loved ones. They eventually approached the section where Begum was trapped.
"I heard voices of the rescue workers for the past several days. I kept hitting the wreckage with sticks and rods just to attract their attention," Begum said.
She finally got the crews' attention when she took a steel pipe and began banging it, said Abdur Razzak, a warrant officer with the military's engineering department who first spotted her in the wreckage.
The rescue crews ordered the cranes and bulldozers to stop immediately and used handsaws and welding and drilling equipment to cut through the iron rods and debris still trapping her. They gave her water, oxygen and saline as they worked.
After 40 minutes, she was free.
"She was fine, no injuries. She was just trapped. The space was wide," said Lt. Col. Moyeen, an army official at the scene who uses only one name.
Begum told her rescuers there were no more survivors in her area. Workers began tearing through the nearby rubble anyway, hoping to find another person alive.
Begum's sister Asma said she and her mother kept a vigil for the seamstress, who is from the rural Dinajpur district, 270 kilometers (170 miles) north of Dhaka. She said they had been losing hope amid the endless string of grim days, when scores of bodies and no survivors were removed from the rubble.
"We got her back just when we had lost all our hope to find her alive," she told Somoy TV. "God is so merciful."
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, whose government has come under criticism for its lax oversight over the powerful garment industry, raced to the hospital by helicopter to meet Begum and congratulated the rescuers, officials said.
"This is an unbelievable feat," Hasina was quoted as saying by her assistant, Mahbubul Haque Shakil.
Begum lived in a rented house with her sister, who worked at a different garment factory.
Officials said Saturday that 1,081 bodies had been recovered so far from the ruins of the building, which housed five garment factories employing thousands of workers. They said 780 bodies had been handed over to families.
The disaster has raised alarm about working conditions in Bangladesh's $20 billion garment industry, which provides clothing for major retailers around the globe.
Over the last week identification of the bodies being recovered from the debris has become harder because they are badly decomposed, officials said.
Officials say the owner of Rana Plaza illegally added three floors and allowed the garment factories to install heavy machines and generators, even though the structure was not designed to support such equipment.
The owner and eight other people, including the owners of the garment factories, have been detained.
Hossain reported from Dhaka.

Lazar Hayward is about to suit up for his third team in just his third NBA season. In a trade first reported by Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski, the former Marquette star is headed to Houston as part of a trade that will send Oklahoma Citys James Harden to the Rockets. Along with Harden and Hayward, the Thunder will send forward Cole Aldridge and guard Daquan Cook to Houston in exchange for guard Kevin Martin, guard Jeremy Lamb, two future first round draft picks and a future second round pick. After finishing as the second leading scorer in Marquette history, Hayward was drafted by the Washington Wizards with the 30th pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. Shortly after being selected, Hayward was traded to Minnesota where he averaged 3.8 points per game in just 10 minutes per game. Following the season, Hayward was dealt to Oklahoma City where he played even less. Averaging just 5.4 minutes per game in 26 games for the NBAs Western Conference Champions, Hayward averaged just 1.4 poin...

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Historic luxury property that's not quite as grand as it once was
The Hotel Du Louvre offers plenty of historic charm. At night, the hotel glows with romantic lights, a nod to Paris' most famous nickname -- City of Lights. The former antique marketplace, turned luxury hotel in 1887, was featured in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes" novels.
But the decor is underwhelming for a luxury property of this level, and could use refurbishment to restore it to its former grandeur. The staircases, for example, are old and adorned in dusty red carpeting, and narrow, dim hallways lead to the rooms.
The central location right across from the Louvre Museum is a huge plus, however. The Louvre and Tuileries Gardens are just steps away, and nearby metro stations will transport visitors to places like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe.
Across the street from the Louvre museum, within walking distance of many other attractions
Located in the heart of the city's fashion district, Hotel Du Louvre is just a few minutes' walk to local restaurants and cafes. Its central locale allows for easy access to iconic attractions, like the Louvre, which is right next door to the hotel, as well as the Tuileries Garden and the Eiffel Tower. Take in a show at the Opera Garnier, or stroll through the Jardin du Palais Royal before catching a play at Théâtre du Palais-Royal -- it's all easy to do from this hotel.
Paris is one of Europe's most densely populated cities, and is currently one of the world's most important business and cultural metropolises. Known as "The City of Lights" for its growth during the Age of Enlightenment, Paris is home to some of the world's most luxurious fashion (Hermes, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent), iconic museums, and structures, as well as major media and business outlets.
Built in 1855, this beautiful building was originally the Louvre des Antiquaires, and in 1887 became France's first luxury hotel. The building itself features tall, thick columns and wrought-iron railings. Inside, the style is classically elegant, if a bit drab -- some renovations would make it feel a bit more vibrant. The rooms actually quite bright, though, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The bathrooms are clean and modern with sharp lines; for Europe, the space is fairly big, and towel warmers in each are a comfy perk. The hotel features a restaurant, Le Louvre Brasserie Restaurant, which is a nice place to people-watch while dining outside. In the world of luxury hotels here, the Hotel du Louvre's main selling point is its location: across the street from the Louvre Museum, and right on Rue Saint Honore, close to cafes, restaurants, and designer shopping.

9 Secrets for Bigger, Stronger Muscles

You Can Improve Muscle Quality
On the day you were conceived, the gene gods had made three decisions that you might want to quibble with as an adult, if you could:
1. Your maximum number of muscle fibers
2. Your percentages of fast- and slow-twitch fibers
3. The shapes of your muscles when fully developed
On the downside, unless you were born to anchor the 4x100 relay at next summer's Olympics, you can forget about ever reaching that goal. The athletes at the extremes—the fastest and strongest, the ones with the best-looking muscles, and the ones capable of the greatest endurance—were already at the extremes from the moment sperm swam headlong into egg.
The upside is that there's a lot of wiggle room in between. Few of us ever approach our full genetic potential. You probably will never be a freak, but with the right kind and amount of work, you can always be a little freakier than you are now.
The best way to do that is to learn to use your muscles' very own juice machine.

According to a report in L'Inter (p. 4) the United Nations Operation in Cote d'Ivoire (UNOCI) is reinforcing its presence along the country's border with Liberia following last week's deadly clash in which seven blue helmets lost their lives. The daily stated that combat aircraft have been sent in support of the UN mission in Cote d'Ivoire ahead of joint military exercises with Ivorian and Liberian forces. These aircraft include helicopters of the MI-24 type, the paper said, adding that a large-scale security operation is to begin on Friday in the forested area.
Still on security issue in this zone, an article in Fraternite Matin (p. 6) underscored that the porous 700 km long border between Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia makes it hard to efficiently monitor security in the zone where deadly cross border attacks are often reported.
Providing an update on the situation a few days after the deadly incident, Le Nouveau Reveil (p. 4) noted that the death toll could be higher than previously announced. Citing the Ivorian Minister in charge of Defense, Mr. Paul Koffi Koffi, the paper noted that several alleged assailants have been arrested by the Ivorian army. The violence, the paper added, has forced local inhabitants to leave the area, a situation Mr. Koffi said the Ivorian government is addressing.
This daily press review is compiled by the Information Section of the Public Affairs Office of the American Embassy in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. The opinions expressed in these reviews in no way reflect the views of the United States Government and are presented for informational purposes only. The accuracy of reports contained in this summary has not been confirmed by the Embassy.

In the triangle ADC (shown), AC is 194 cm. What is the length of BD (in triangle BDC) to the nearest centimetre?
Question number 7.
I know that tan15=y(DC)/194cm
I know the angle BDC is 45 degrees (given); then angle B is also 45 degrees. I know we have a 45-45-90 triangle.
Also I know the lengths of the sides of 45-45-90 triangle are in the ratio of 1:1: `sqrt(2)`
Also I know the answer is one of the following: 72cm,73cm,74cm,75cm
Find the length of BD
1 Answer | Add Yours
To continue with your `tan 15` = `y/194` that is, `(DC)/194` in `Delta (ACD)`
`therefore y= tan 15 times 194`
`y= 51.98` ie DC = 51.98
You are correct to say that the ratio in the triangle BCD is `1 : 1: sqrt(2)`
Therefore if DC = 51.98 then BC = 51.98 (they have the same ratio)
As we already have a ratio of `1:1:sqrt(2)`
1 x 51.98 : 1 x 51.98 : `sqrt(2)` x 51.98
`therefore` BD = 73, 51 and rounded off that gives us 74 cm
`therefore`C (74 cm)

Fashion: Maiko Takeda's millinery is awesomely otherworldly
Royal College of Art student Maiko Takeda is a breath of fresh air in the world of millinery. Her architectural headpieces resemble porcupine quills, ostrich feathers and tiny iridescent fish scales, all artfully woven together with logic and geometry in mind. Their likeness to elements of the natural world are apt, too, as the pieces react strongly to the light, wind and colours of the environment they are worn in.
Maiko counts Issey Miyake, Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy among those she has worked alongside, which might give some clue as to how her career trajectory seems to be progressing; this stunning collection whispers of great things to come.

The Obama brain trust decided not to risk a presidential appearance in Wisconsin.
But his brain trust waves off the usual queries about tactics and controversies.
The brain trust, speaking through the White House press office, called it a "special partnership" instead.
A group of experts who serve as advisers to a government or an organization: "Before being appointed to the cabinet, Brown had been a leading figure in a financial brain trust."
A group of intellectuals and planners who act as advisers, especially to a government. The phrase is particularly associated with the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

[Both the link above and the link in the vertical sidebar, will take you to our main Gas Collection page.]
In the late 90's and early 2000's, several record companies got together and produced 25 albums called, The 7ball Gas Collection, which were for the purpose of promoting budding (and already established) music groups signed to Christian record labels . . . and a few unsigned artists as well. The recording quality was often poor, the talent was sometimes . . . up-and-coming, and the popular genre's were . . . sometimes offensive, BUT the CD's are AWSUMM, and (in my humble opinion) every person who is just getting into music should listen to some of this stuff. It will no doubt improve their musical appreciation. (It's true. After listening to this stuff, you'll love almost anything!)
The Gas Collection albums never provided lyrics, so consequently, when the listener wishes to know exactly what the singer is saying (dirty hard to figure out sometimes) they have to look up the lyrics online. Unfortunately, many of the lyrics cannot be found (or if they can, we sure didn't take the time to find them). So, we decided that it would be an excellent idea to have one site on the internet with every single GC lyric on it, easy to access. We took this awesome task upon ourselves. Who are we? We are Dr. Elimlech Amion Lady and Dr. Nagol Warden Metswath. (. . . Um, those are pen names.) Continuing on: Unfortunately, because many of the lyrics are not to be found, it is a painstaking process to listen to the songs over and over and OVER again, writing the words as we go, till finally a whole song is in place. However, poor recording quality and lousy voices often prove difficult, so some lyrics might not be 100% true, and a few cannot be deciphered at all (which are noted with a _____). Please bear with us, and know that we are simply GC fans trying to make your life and musical enjoyment . . . more enjoyable.
Some songs are hard to figure out and some are hard to find online (some are both!), but we'll have them all here eventually. If you happen to read the lyrics to a song and (for some reason) are positive that we got some of the wording wrong, please don't hesitate to let us know, and give us your suggestion on what the wording should actually be. We need all the help we can get. . . . (Now, to figure out how you can contact us. Um . . . we'll figure it out.)
Since Dr. Lady is in university right now, and she is the main brain behind the site, new lyrics could likely be put onto the site slowly. But not to worry, the lyrics are still being figured and written, it'll just take some time for you to be able to read them.
If there is any way we can make improvement so that things around here are easier for you to comprehend, let us know. . . . In the same way that you'll let us know about wrong lyrics. . . .
-N. W. Metswath-
Ps. There are still very few albums in my growing music collection that I listen to with greater frequency than these. I love 'em, and more people should know about them. Spread the word.

I just add targets to my Makefile for the exotic platforms:
make win32
make beos
Of course, this fudges my ability to mix build-tweaking targets, but
they're rarely used. (e.g., "make nosound", which disables sound support
and, hence, dependency on SDL_mixer, in my games.)

The COMPASS exam is a computerized placement test produced by ACT. COMPASS has been chosen by Klamath Community College as an assessment tool used in determining your level of preparedness for college-level courses.
What is the purpose of the COMPASS Placement Test?
The COMPASS Placement Test helps us to place you in whatever courses you are ready for, either college-level courses or courses to prepare you for college-level courses. COMPASS assesses the kinds of skills needed for success in college. COMPASS tests your academic preparation in three areas: Writing, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematics. You do not PASS or FAIL the COMPASS test; it only determines your current skill level in the area(s) tested so that you can be placed appropriately.
Who must take the COMPASS Placement Test?
If you are applying for admission to a degree or certificate program, or you wish to enroll in a writing, math or reading course, a class with a math or writing prerequisite, or entry into any program requiring assessment in writing, math or reading, you must first take a placement assessment.
How does one prepare for the COMPASS placement test?
Klamath Community College provides Math Review Sheets to help you prepare for the placement exam. The Review Sheets are composed of a number of problems representative of each course. Click on the link below to download a Review Sheet (PDF's):
Additional resources and tutors are available at the Learning Resources Center.
When and where will the COMPASS Placement Test be given?
The placement exam will be given at the Mandatory Orientation/Registration which all new students who are taking credit bearing classes are required to attend.
Students with disabilities or students with special needs can take the tests under conditions that allow for their needs. If you have special needs, you should arrange for testing with Student Services when you apply.
How much time does the COMPASS test require, and what must be brought to the test center?
You should allow approximately two and a half hours for the entire COMPASS Test. COMPASS is a self-paced, computerized test, which allows you to proceed at your own rate, so you might require more or less time than this estimate would indicate.
You should bring the following information and supplies on the day of the test:
Under normal circumstances, you would not take the COMPASS Placement Test more than once. When you have taken the test, your scores will be kept on file for use when you enroll for classes.
How will the COMPASS Placement Test scores be used?
After your COMPASS Test has been scored, you will need to pick up the results from the person administering the test. Your scores will be explained to you, and you will need to take a copy of these scores to Student Services to be used when choosing your courses for the term. Your scores will be used to place you in either college-level courses or the Basic (Remedial) or Developmental courses that you need.
The purpose of the Basic (Remedial) and Developmental courses is to help you succeed in college-level courses.

Tom Patri: Remember, the short game is the area to make the quickest and best improvement
NAPLES - It's that time of year: winter season is upon us. For some of us its prime time, for others it's the offseason.
For those of you who consider this their offseason, as I do, it's time to work on any major weaknesses that plague your game. Maybe it's your putting stroke, your ability to find the fairway, a bit of needed distance, your pitching and chipping. Whatever the weak link is, it must be addressed, and addressed with a clear and real game plan.
In 32 years of teaching and coaching, it still amazes me at the extremely high percentage of folks who spend countless hours, energy, and dollars on their games, and are no better today than they were last year, five years ago or 10 years ago.
It simply makes no sense to me, and allow me to explain why.
I have never had a single person — not one single person — show up on my lesson tee whom I didn't feel I couldn't help. Let me put one disclaimer on that claim: the student was truly willing to buy into a designed game plan, and give it 100 percent effort and further realize there was no "magic wand."
I also don't think those thoughts are unique to me. I think any truly dedicated and passionate teacher/coach in today's game feels very much the same way. So many students would rather spend $400, $500, or more hard-earned dollars on the driver with the latest claim on 20 more yards than develop a relationship with a talented coach. That is and always will be mind-boggling to me. In today's golf arena, there are so many gifted teachers who could help every one of you folks really enjoy every second of your golf journey so much more. Again, remember what I said earlier, not without work and commitment on your part. Commit and improve!
I understand that not all of use have unlimited time or funds to pump into his or her golf game. In many cases, time and funds have a cap, yet we want to do whatever we can.
Here is my very best advice: even if you're determined, for example, to drive it 10 yards farther, and that may even be possible in time — start short. Yes, start short! Putting, chipping, pitching, and sand play. Any of these areas can make the greatest bottom line difference in the shortest period of time relatively speaking. Ask your teacher or coach to spend one solid improvement season re-engineering your short game. Evaluate needed technique improvements, assign skill drills, design a practice plan, and get after it.
Ever hear the saying "Drive for show, putt for dough"? ... Hmmm, a wise man said that many moons ago. Best of luck, dig in, and score.
TP's Tip: Face is in fact the case. You as a golfer must understand the clubface and its conditions.
Your goal is to get your clubface back to a square position at impact. I feel the face is not the only factor, but the most dramatic influence of your ball flight. Simply stand in front of a mirror and make some swings; watch the clubface. It should rotate open during your backswing, during your downswing begin to rotate back to your square by impact, then continue to rotate closed into your follow-through and finish.
As you do this in the mirror, "see and feel" to capture the sensation of a proper clubface rotation so you can emulate it during your actual swing.
That being said, understand that face rotation is a coordinated action between the arm swing and the rotation of the core of the body.
