I'm 37! I'm not old.
Also: Happy birthday to me!
I'm 37! I'm not old.
Also: Happy birthday to me!
Happy Birthday Wil! 37 years young!
Happiest of happy-ass birthdays to you, Wil. When it's late enough here in the midwest to drink without looks of disapprobation, I will hoist a cocktail in your direction and honor. I may even make it a tiki drink.
Did I miss a fuckin meeting?
Happyus Birthdayus Wilus Wheatonus!
Happy Birthday Wil! Hope it's a great one!
ah the things you learn from monty python.
Happy Birthday Wil!
I'm turning 37 this September and believe it or not I was waiting to use this line…
Hurray for the Birthday Class of '72!!
If you choose the Force to be with you, the former two are likely to come true…
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, sir Wil. Rock yo day!
Many happy returns! Thoroughly enjoyed the clip, and wished I'd found it for my 37th a year and some months ago… You're only as old as you feel, they say, though I've always been a curmudgeon and so ought to feel like a wizened ancient mariner or somesuch.
I'm going to say something very witty here:
Happy Birthday, Wil!
Haha, you've blatantly saved this video for this day. Awesome. Happy Birthday dude! The younger generations better shut up, we gets us there soon enuff. You're still a studmuffin, so all is well. Toodles! x
(P.S. now you got 42 to look forward to!)
Happy birthday Wil!!!! I never forget your big day because you share it with my sister. Hope it's a good one!
Many happy returns of the day, errr, youngster. Have a fantastic day.
Age is just a number and the body telling us that certain things aren't as easy to do anymore. Happy birthday! Enjoy a nice beer tonight to end the day.
Happy birthday, Wil! You're just a young'un.
"Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government"
Woah, 37?! I won't be that old for, like, another two years. Wow…
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday, Wil!!!11!!11!!!!!1
Happy Birthday Wil!!! I'm a couple of years behind you, but you are now the same age as my Volkswagen!
Have a good one!!!
Wait till she hits the teen years. Mine will be 14 in Oct. Starting 8th grade, and after that.. High School! YIKES! Talk about making you feel old O_O lol
Hi Wil-
I said it already on Twitter, but I wanna say it here too:
Happy Birthday!! 😀 From another Vintage 72-er… I turned 37 on May 7th. We 72-er's rock!!
-Alicia (@AliciaWag)
Happy Birthday Wil! May the coming year bring you and yours only success and happiness.
I didn't realise that our birthdays were so close, mines on Saturday.
Yeah, happy birthday, Kid. I'm 51 so no lip outta you on feeling old. lol
Happiest of birthdays, dude! Don't know if anyone's posted this yet, but just so you know:
You are one GQMF.
Happy 37th Birthday, Wil! Hope you have a great day since you only turn 37 once ;)!
Well, Happy Assembly Day! I'll be 33 in a few days, so don't feel old. (I'm still living at home, unemployed, and poor! You're doing better than me.)
You're in another crossword puzzle! It's the one in the TV schedule that comes in the Sunday LA Daily News.
Happy Birthday! Hope the rest of it is twice as awesome as the first part of it!
Hehe, a big yay for prime numbers! I invited my friends to a prime number party this year, and a special one because it was a prime number following a (and here I realize that the concept of booze numbers – Schnapszahl – like 11, 22, 33 etc. is probably a German one because there's no English word for it)… Only happens a couple of times in a lifetime. (Needless to say, I didn't turn 67…)
Anyway, happy birthday and many happy returns, Wil!
Happy Birthday! Mine's in just a couple of days, personally. It's a milestone, too–the big 3-0. I'm honestly not freaking out about it, but it is sort of surreal to contemplate that I am about to hit 3 decades. When I was a teenager and through the first part of my twenties, I always thought of 30 as "when a person really becomes an adult"–I was never impressed with the maturity of 20-somethings, I guess. But now that I'm about to cross that threshold, I'm realizing that there is no magic line, beyond which is a sign that says, "here be adulthood."
37 is an awesome age. I should know, I've been 37 for three, going on four years now. 😉
I'm not gonna lie to you, Marge: every time you make a Simpsons reference, a Blinky gets its wings.
Happy Birthday, Wil…You're only old when you have lost the thrill.
Happy birthday to you, Spring Chicken.
Happy Birthday! You're only as old as you feel, but the hangovers sure seem worse.
Darvelous, I really don't see what the point in trying to learn something using the rote method and typing it in as UBB code is all about on today of all days, but since I didn't bring the dead horse along, there are more productive ways to conduct yourself on such a fantastic day, don't you agree?
You see, not only is it my good buddy here Wil's birthday, it is also a great day of sentiment for me, as well. Of course I'm happy for my good buddy Wil and his family on this joyous occasion. When there's celebrating to do, there should be celebrating taking place. Hopefully with a fully intact cake after I reminded my buddy Wil to keep it far, far out of Ferris' reach. I'm 99.9% sure that Anne had that base already covered, though. How did I come to that particular assumption, you ask? A. She's a mom. B. She's the mom of two boys. C. She's my good buddy Wil's wife and understands the concept of what is and what is not accessible to Ferris when placed on a counter top.
Today is a day of dual celebration, for me anyway. One is my good buddy Wil's birthday, of course, and the other is the five year anniversary of the day that I basically fell ass-backwards into a series of seemingly random events, put them together and not only discovered the awesomeness that is Wil Wheaton: actor/blogger/author, but also discovered the bonus win that is Wil Wheaton: devoted husband, father and all around dedicated family man that he remains to be to this very day. Not to mention the fact that he's genuinely humble, down-to-earth, and a pretty nice guy in general. That is until he unleashed Dad Voice™ on me for the first time, but we shall not speak of that or any other unpleasantries on my buddy Wil's birthday, OK?
So Wil, since we're buddies now and all of that, do you think you can give Frakes a call and find out if maybe we can all go visit some Turkish prisons together one of these days? I've never been, and he always made it out to sound as if it was so much fun!
All joking aside, I really do hope you're having an awesome day. As for Darvelous, waving that red flag back and forth in front of me doesn't seem very prudent of him, does it? Don't worry about it, buddy, I gotcha covered.
I'm with Eileen…turning 30 in Sept and also refuse to think that I'm old).
Happy birthday, hon!
~ Sabine01
You're still in the 30-something decade, now that's something to celebrate. Hope you're having a fantastic day!!
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthda-ay Wil, Happy Birthday to you….and Many More on Channel 4, and Scooby Doo on Channel 2, Hope It's Great on Channel 8, Feelin' Fine on channel 9…..ok, ok I'll stop. Happy Happy!!!!
As a person who has followed your acting career, and now your writing career, and the one person who didn't hate Wesley Crusher, I wish you a Happy Birthday. And I hope you celebrate with a glass of great beer!!!
My mum, a wonderful, gorgeous woman who marched with the CND in the sixties, and always was on the compassionate side in politics, died suddenly earlier today. I'm still in shock, but am both comforted and distracted to read that life goes on.
And I'm halfway through a second watch of all 7 series of TNG, which while they may not be the only thing you want to be known by Wil, mean a lot to me, and doubly so right now, because I know nothing I will see as I wait for the grief to kick in hard will violate her values, and everything in that fictional world is something she would and has supported.
I'm not spreading this all over the net, but given how I plan to comfort myself, since I have no-one living with me right now, and no other family at all, this comment seemed worth making. Hope is never futile. And love is all that matters. That I loved her, she loved me, and that love and life go on is really making this easier to bear.
Happy Birthday, Dennis! Here's an idea for a future birthday: Elvis Costello's 45
I've been 37 for 13 years now. A great age… to be from. And being so old and creaky, I've now outlived the late great MJJ.
No matter– Wil, the happiest of b-days to you. We've chatted at various comic-cons of all sorts– I'm just a random guy– and you were always nothin' but nice.
BTW– I waved at the ISS and the Endeavour a couple o' nights ago, too, from here in L.A.
They HAD to see us. Two wavers? Come ON! Right?
Wil – I remembered it was your birthday – I remember it from summer 1988, when we met at the Grand Floridian hotel at Disney World and wound up hanging out. Your b'day is the day after my kid brother's. So I actually recalled it was your birthday. Dunno if you remember all that, but there it is. Grand F. Summer '88. Good times. Happy Birthday, vacation buddy. ~Adam
Happy 37th, Wil! Hope it's been a fun one.
*slaps forehead* She already acts like a teenager so I was hoping she was working it our of her system sooner rather then later. I suppose that's what booze is for, aka Mother's Little Helper. ;o)
Yay! Happy 25th (hex) birthday
Happiest of birthdays, Wil. Hooray!!
Happy Birthday Wil Wheaton!
You have grown beyond the confines and trappings of Hollywood Stardom and become a writer/person I respect and admire. Here's to more years where you will find new depths within yourself, and possibly share through your developing craft.

DAVIDsTEA sells primarily flavored teas and blends, including flavored herbal blends, and a large number of teas we classify under miscellaneous blends, although they also sell some pure teas. More so than most companies, we often classify the offerings of DAVIDsTEA differently from how the company classifies them: we do so based on ingredients, and in such a way to remain consistent with listings from other companies, but this may not be consistent with the marketing or categories provided by DAVIDsTEA.

SALEM, Va.-Roanoke College presented its 11th annual Charles R. Brown Award to Dr. Walter Hunt in recognition of his many contributions to the quality of life in Salem at a breakfast on October 19. The Brown Award is named for former dean of Roanoke College and mayor of Salem, Dr. Charles R. Brown.
Hunt's contributions to the school system in Salem are lengthy and impressive. He nurtured the Salem school system from its infancy. Hunt served as the first superintendant of the City of Salem schools, leading the division upon its separation from the Roanoke County school system.
Hunt is a native of Franklin County. He graduated from Rocky Mount High School, where he was president of the student body and captain of the basketball team. After high school, he attended William & Mary where he earned a degree in math. He was the first in his family to graduate from college and did so in only three years by attending two summers. After he taught for several years, he returned to William & Mary to earn a master's degree in educational administration and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Virginia Tech.
Hunt has taught in schools across Virginia, including Amelia County, Franklin County, New Kent and Hampton. He became principal of Andrew Lewis High School in 1964 when it was still a part of Roanoke County Schools. He moved up to serve as the director of instruction for Roanoke County. After earning his Ph.D. at Virginia Tech, Hunt moved to Roanoke City Schools where he served in several leadership positions including a time as acting superintendent.
When Salem decided to start its own independent school district in 1983, the city turned to Hunt, a familiar face from Andrew Lewis. Hunt returned to Salem, this time as superintendent of the newly created Salem City Schools. He led the city through a smooth transition as an independent school district. His influence established Salem's tradition of excellence from the start.
Hunt retired in 1989 but he continues to impact the educational quality of Salem. He is a long-time member of the board of the Salem Educational Foundation and alumni association. He served as vice president from 1983 to 1999 and as president from 1999 to now. He recently has assumed an important role at Salem High School's annual graduation ceremony: the voice of the scholarships. Each year, Hunt reads the names of the students receiving thousands of dollars in scholarships from the Salem Educational Foundation.
Hunt is active in his community. He's been a member of the Lions Club for more than 30 years. He was a member of the board of directors for Salem Bank and Trust and has been a director of FNB since 2002. Dr. Hunt is a family man who has been married to his wife Avis for more than 40 years. They have a son and a daughter and several grandchildren.
The Charles Brown Award serves to recognize outstanding citizens of Salem who have contributed to the quality of life in their community. The recipient is chosen for following in the example of Dr. Charles Brown, the first true dean of Roanoke College and the only employee to also serve as the mayor of Salem.
Previous recipients of the Brown Award include: Louise Braxton, Dr. Esther Brown, Clarence P. Caldwell Jr., the late Roy Henrickson, Brian Hoffman, the late Norwood C. Middleton, Warren Moorman, Missouri "Mo" Nelson, Gerald Pace, the late William J. Paxton Jr., Ray Robinson and the late James E. Taliaferro.
Roanoke College, the country's second oldest Lutheran-related college, is an independent, co-educational, four-year liberal arts college. Roanoke is one of just 270 colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society. The Princeton Review names Roanoke as one of the "best in the Southeast." Roanoke's 2,000 students represent 40 states across the U.S. and 26 foreign countries.

"We are still using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut," says James. "They're not hearing the voice of God." But the rats are certainly sending and receiving more than a binary signal that simply points to one or other lever, he says. "I think it will be possible one day to transfer an abstract thought."
The decoders have to interpret relatively complex brain patterns, says Marshall Shuler at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The animals learn the relevance of these new patterns and their brains adapt to the signals. "But the decoders are probably not having the same quality of experience as the encoders," he says.
Military potential
Patrick Degenaar at Newcastle University in the UK says that the military might one day be able to deploy genetically modified insects or small mammals that are controlled by the brain signals of a remote human operator. These would be drones that could feed themselves, he says, and could be used for surveillance or even assassination missions. "You'd probably need a flying bug to get near the head [of someone to be targeted]," he says.
Nicolelis is most excited about the future of multiple networked brains. He is currently trialling the implants in monkeys, getting them to work together telepathically to complete a task. For example, each monkey might only have access to part of the information needed to make the right decision in a game. Several monkeys would then need to communicate with each other in order to successfully complete the task.
"In the distant future we may be able to communicate via a brain-net," says Nicolelis. "I would be very glad if the brain-net my great-grandchildren used was due to their great-grandfather's work."

views of the same person, Hemingway himself. Drafts and titles vary considerably

Budget Bill Republican Side
(AP) Gov. Scott Walker says no emergency budget repair bill will be needed to deal with a projected $143 million shortfall. The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released the new estimate Thursday.
As recently as October the state was projected to have a $73 million surplus. Walker didn't detail what he would do to deal with the projected shortfall next year, other than promising not to raise taxes. The Fiscal Bureau says the Walker administration is looking at debt refinancing and restructuring to deal with the shortfall. Republican legislative leaders issued a joint statement saying Wisconsin is not immune to the bad economy and defended their past actions and promises not to raise taxes.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
The part of Eumolpius (Greek for "he who sings beautifully") in Stravinksy's Persephone could have become Fritz Wunderlich's signature role if he had sung it more than the one time captured on this recording. Dean Dixon programmed this virutally unknown jewel, with actress Doris Schade taking on the speaking part of Persephone. This live recording for the Hessische Rundfunk captures Wunderlich at the pinnacle of his art, closing a discographic gap of a singer who died so prematurely.
"Fritz Wunderlich is most often associated with Mozart and Viennese operetta, but he was committed to 20th century music and dove with enthusiasm into contemporary repertoire. It's thrilling to hear a singer with a ringing, heroic voice of such inherent beauty and with such mastery of characterization tackle this often spiky material. Perséphone might have a higher reputation in the composer's canon if it received more performances like Wunderlich's." -All Music GuideNotes & Reviews:

The History Department has its own webpage primarily for pupils.
History is a core subject in the Lower School and Removes and is an extremely popular GCSE option - there are currently over 180 pupils taking History at GCSE level. It is also a very popular subject in the Sixth Form, with almost 100 pupils studying the subject at A Level and within the IB Diploma.
The Department also has a reputation for outstanding results. In 2013 100% of A Level grades were A*-B, the second time in three years that his has been the case. At IGCSE the percentage of A*-B grades in 2013 was 96%, with almost half of all pupils gaining the very highest grade.
In the Removes pupils study the First World War in depth – a study greatly enhanced by the hugely popular Battlefields trip to France and Belgium that the Department runs each year – before moving onto look at a fascinating period of change and upheaval in 19th century America.
In their studies pupils will explore the 20th century in greater depth. They will discover about the many fascinating people and events of this period, from the roaring 1920s in the USA, through the attempts at world peace and the appeasement of Hitler in the 1930s, and onto Martin Luther King and the development of the Civil Rights Movement – to name but a few.
History in the Sixth Form at Haileybury offers pupils the opportunity to begin to specialise in the areas of the subject that particularly interest them. With nine teachers in the History Department, it is one of the largest in the School, and as a result we are able to offer a real breadth of choice at Sixth Form, with teachers often teaching in their own specialist areas. Smaller classes also allow for greater debate and discussion. Further details on the topics available in the Sixth Form can be found via the links on the left of this page.
All of the courses we offer at Haileybury provide both breadth and depth, and facilitate excellent understanding of the contemporary world. In addition to this, the study of the past enables the pupils to develop skills of analysis, argument and organisation; all vital in the modern world, and skills that will make them hugely attractive to any employer.
The History Department is very well-resourced. There are computers, projectors and interactive whiteboards in every classroom, while the Department also holds a large video and DVD collection of over 500 titles. In addition, the School Library has a fantastic History section containing a wealth of material. We have six classrooms that are linked to the School network via wireless technology. The classrooms can be found on the ground floor of the Form Room Block.

Play is a Child's Work
Deep meaning lies often in childish play.
-Johann Friedrich von Schiller
The outdoors used to be a place where children could run, play, build, create, and do the mildly hazardous things children love to do. I remember walking the 5′ high cinderblock wall that ran like a vertebrae down the center of our block, jumping repeatedly from the garage roof to learn to land lightly, climbing trees with a good book, using scrap lumber and other discarded material to build a fort in a neglected corner land next to a freeway, and countless other adventures that would make many adults wince. And I wasn't even a particularly adventuresome kid.
Things have changed a lot, though. Children rarely seem to have the freedom to roam and play independently, and this is not a good thing. Hanna Rosin's article, The Overprotected Kid, in the March issue of The Atlantic, is a fascinating look at what has happened to child's play, and how it is affecting the development of significant skills.
Even though "play been demonstrated to improve academic performance, behavior, mental and physical health in children," filmmaker Erin Davis suggests that America's obsession with litigation, and "the rejection of any activity that does not have an immediate, quantifiable value" makes it more difficult to provide public adventure playgrounds.
Happily, homeschoolers have the ability to create their own adventure playgrounds. Provide space, time, old tools, and allow a random supply of junk to accumulate (childhood is short, and one day you can send it all packing), and you'll have the ingredients for constructive, interesting play. Whether you're in the city or the country, there is ample opportunity for adventure. Parents just have to be brave enough to allow it!
Here's a preview of The Land, the documentary by filmmaker Erin Davis.
"The Land" Teaser – An Adventure Play Documentary from Erin Davis on Vimeo.
Don't miss this interview with the filmmaker, Erin Davis: Inside a European Adventure Playground.
Never neglect an opportunity to play leap-frog;
it is the best of all games, and,
unlike the terribly serious and conscientious pastimes of modern youth,
will never become professionalized.
-Herbert Beerbohm Tree
Our next conference will be the Great Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. I hope to see you there!

THE festive season seems to be taking shape in Kigali - artiste upon artiste showcasing what they do best on stage, with a new spirit of entertainment.
The concert was well attended and worth every penny paid.
Over the weekend, Jay Polly, one of Rwanda's finest rappers and perceived by his fans as the "Father of Hip-hop" launched his third album dubbed, Umwami Uganje, amid the confusion of the event's postponement.
According to the organisers, the launch that was initially slated for Saturday evening was postponed to Sunday. But despite all those challenges, the magnetism of the event seemed to have attracted a sizeable crowd at the Petit Stade in Remera.
Jay Polly's album launch concert was attended by, among others, the Minister of Sports and Culture Protais Mitali.
Just doing her thing.
The event received a boost from MTN, the leading telecommunication firm in the country, and Bralirwa.
Preparations for the event began minutes after 2p.m, with organisers giving no room for hitches of any sort.
The doors were open to the public. The crowd streamed into the venue to watch their very own deliver yet another bouncing baby in form of an album - a 2012 gift to Jay Polly's fans.
Urban Boyz enthralled fans at the show. Photos/Plaisir Muzogeye.
The crowd did not only have a touch of the music but also had a lot for their eyes to sample in terms of entertainment and fashion.
The night was filled with excitement and a joyful atmosphere as the emcees, KFM's Tino and Anita of Radio 10, entertained the crowd with their rib-breaking jokes and dancing prowess. And as every minute matured into hours, the crowd gathered energy.
Then came the moment, the place was blazing hot and the crowd went wild when the main artiste, Jay Polly, born Joshua Tuyishime, came on stage.
With his latest songs, 'You and Me', and 'Icyizere', among the nine pieces on his latest album, the fate was sealed. He killed it and placed it right there for the crowd to witness.
The organisers were pleased with the turn-up.
Speaking to The New Times, the officer in-charge of promotion and sponsorship at MTN, Alain Numa said, "We are pleased by tonight's turn-up and to be associated with a successful event such as this launch; being our brand ambassador, Jay Polly has not disappointed and we promise we will continue to nurture and support new crop of artistes in the country."
Maurice Uwera, brother to Jay Polly, expressed satisfaction. "We never expected such a turn-up given the initial postponement. We are looking forward to selling at least 2,000 copies of the new album and to continue giving our fans value in the music from their boy."
The event ended at about midnight on a high note, and, to many, it was worth forgoing the sleep.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa That's one way to kill a rally.
Class 3A 12th ranked Mount Vernon held 2A No. 13 Iowa City Regina scoreless for the first seven-plus minutes of the fourth quarter and won, 41-32, in the Rivalry Saturday girls' basketball finale Saturday night at the Small Multi-Sports Center.
The Mustangs improved to 9-2 under new coach Dennis Roloff.
"We've always been a good defensive team, and Coach spends a lot of practice time on shooting," said Mount Vernon's Alli Platte. "Tonight, it all paid off and it's all coming together."
Mount Vernon led from start to finish, opening with an 11-2 run. Regina (8-2) closed within 30-28 to start the fourth quarter, but it dried up there for the Regals.
"It really started with (defending Jenna Lehman)," Roloff said. "We picked her up, and we paid a lot of attention to their 3-point shooters."
Miranda Chapman hit four free throws to start the fourth quarter, then Gabby Kolker followed with a pair of baskets one from outside, one from inside to restore the lead to 10.
Chapman led the Mustangs with 12 points. Platte added 10, Laura Deininger nine. Chapman's 3-pointer gave the Mustangs their largest lead at 26-14 early in the third quarter.
But the Regals scored the next six points, and Lehman's layup with 20 seconds left in the third brought Regina within a basket.
Lehman led Regina with eight points, but had to work hard to get them.

Her keel was laid down as Rochester on 3 February 1943 by the Bethlehem Steel Company in Quincy, Massachusetts. She was launched on 16 September 1944 sponsored by Mrs. John J. McDonough, and commissioned on 17 February 1945 with Captain Ernest H. von Heimburg in command.
Saint Paul, with other units of the Third Fleet, retired to the southeast to patrol the coast while awaiting orders. On 27 August, she steamed into Sagami Wan to support United States occupation forces. On 1 September, she entered Tokyo Bay and was there during the formal surrender ceremony the next day.
Saint Paul remained in Japanese waters for occupation duty until she was ordered to Shanghai on 5 November to become flagship of TF 73. She navigated the Whangpoo River, anchored off the Shanghai Bund on 10 November, and remained there until early in 1946.
Returning to the Naval Shipyard, Terminal Island, California, on 1 October, she was overhauled to prepare for additional Far East duty. From 1 January to 15 February 1947, she conducted refresher training at San Diego, California.
Following her return to Shanghai in March, Saint Paul resumed operations as flagship for CTF 71 until returning to the United States in November. Next, came training operations along the West Coast, including cruises for Naval Reservists during April and May 1948. From August to December of that year, she deployed to the western Pacific, serving in Japanese and Chinese waters. Back in the United States, she was converted from catapult to helicopter configuration before serving again in the Far East from April through October 1949.
When hostilities broke out in the Korean War in June 1950, Saint Paul was conducting a midshipman training cruise from San Francisco, California, to Pearl Harbor. She disembarked the future naval officers and proceeded late in July to the western Pacific where she joined Task Group (TG) 77.3 on patrol in the Formosa Strait. Saint Paul remained on patrol between Formosa and mainland China from 27 August to 1 November. She then moved north into the Sea of Japan to join carrier TF 77, and commenced combat operations off the northeast coast of Korea on 9 November. On 17 November, she provided gunfire support to the United Nations troops advancing on Chongjin. That day, shrapnel from a near miss by a shell from a Communist shore battery injured six men at gun mount stations. The cruiser destroyed the enemy emplacement with counter-battery fire and continued her support mission.
As the Chinese Communists began massive attacks late in November, United Nations forces commenced a general withdrawal to consolidate and hold south of the 38th parallel. Saint Paul provided close support for the Republic of Korea I Corps on their east flank as they withdrew from Hapsu, and along the coast, as they retired from Chongjin. On 2 December, she moved north again, conducted night harassing missions above Chongjin, then moved south to support the withdrawal of the Republic of Korea Capital Division to Kyongsong Man. She entered the harbor at Wonsan on 3 December to provide a curtain of shellfire around that city as United Nations forces and equipment were moved to Hungnam; then followed the forces there, and remained to cover the evacuation of that city and harbor between 10 December and 24 December.
From 21 January to 31 January 1951, Saint Paul conducted shore bombardment missions north of Inchon where, on 26 January, she was again fired upon by shore batteries. On 7 April, in special TF 74, with destroyers Wallace L. Lind (DD-703), and Massey (DD-778), landing ship dock Fort Marion (LSD-22) and high speed transport Begor (APD-127), Saint Paul helped to carry out raids on rail lines and tunnels utilizing 250 commandos of the 41st Independent Royal Marines. These highly successful destructive raids slowed down the enemy's resupply efforts, forcing the Communists to attempt to repair or rebuild the rail facilities by night while hiding the work crews and locomotives in tunnels by day.
Saint Paul returned to the United States for yard work at San Francisco, California, from June to September, then conducted underway training before sailing on 5 November for Korea. She arrived off Wonsan on 27 November and commenced gun strike missions. During the following weeks, she bombarded strategic points at Hungnam, Songjin, and Chongjin. In December, she served as an antiaircraft escort for TF 77, and, following a holiday trip to Japan, returned to operations off the coast of North Korea. In April 1952, Saint Paul participated in combined air-sea attacks against the ports of Wonsan and Chongjin.
On 21 April, while the cruiser was engaged in gun fire support operations, a sudden and serious powder fire broke out in her forward eight-inch (203 mm) turret. Thirty men died. The explosion ocurred in the turret's left gun, which was loaded but had the breech open. The gun captain thought the weapon had fired and told the gun's rammerman to ram another projectile into the gun's breech. The gun blew up, setting off two other powder bags in the powder hoist.
Before returning to Japan for repairs, however, St. Paul carried out gunstrikes on railroad targets near Songjin, during which she captured nine North Koreans from a small boat. Following a brief stay in port and two weeks on the gun line, she headed home and reached Long Beach, California, on 24 June.
On 28 February 1953, Saint Paul departed the West Coast for her third Korean tour and was in action again by April. In mid-June, she assisted in the recapture of Anchor Hill. With battleship New Jersey (BB-62), she provided close support to the Republic of Korea Army in a ground assault on this key position south of Kosong. The cruiser was fired upon many times by 75 mm and 105 mm guns, and observed numerous near misses, some only ten yards away. But on 11 July at Wonsan, she received her only direct hit from a shore battery. No one was wounded, and only her three-inch (76 mm) antiaircraft mount was damaged. On 27 July, at 2159, she conducted her last gunstrike and had the distinction of firing the last round shot at sea in the war. The shell, autographed by Rear Admiral Harry Sanders, was fired at an enemy gun emplacement. The truce was effective at 2200. Saint Paul then commenced patrol duties along the east coast of Korea.
Saint Paul returned to Long Beach, California, in February and subsequently moved to Bremerton, Washington, for upkeep and overhaul. In September, she became flagship for the First Fleet and entertained the Secretary of the Navy during a fleet review at Long Beach. She departed that port on 6 November; and, after refresher training at San Diego, California, arrived at Yokosuka, Japan, on 29 September to relieve Rochester (CA-124) as flagship of the Seventh Fleet. She spent most of her time in Keelung or Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with periods of training in the Philippines and port calls at Buckner Bay, Hong Kong, Manila, and Sasebo. On 26 April 1957, she headed home.
Saint Paul arrived at Long Beach, California, on 21 May and subsequently cruised along the West Coast, as far north as Seattle, Washington, until she sailed once more on 3 February 1958 for the Far East. She made an extensive cruise beginning at Pearl Harbor. Thence she steamed to Wellington, New Zealand; proceeded past Guadalcanal and north through the Solomon Islands to New Georgia; visited the Caroline Islands; and ended at Yokosuka on 9 March. She repeated her past WestPac deployments with duties as flagship, and exercises in the Philippines, before returning to Long Beach on 25 August.
Sailing from Long Beach, California, on 4 May 1959, Saint Paul became the first major United States Navy ship to be homeported in the Far East since pre-World War II days. Based at Yokosuka, she did not return to Long Beach until 39 months later. Then, she assumed duties as First Fleet flagship and did not return to WestPac until 1966. From that year, she made five successful deployments with the Seventh Fleet in operations off North and South Vietnam, providing gunfire support to allied troops. Reminiscent of her Korean operations, Saint Paul was hit on 2 September by a shell which struck her starboard bow, near the water line. None of her crew was injured; and her engineers repaired the slight damage, enabling her to continue her mission. For her splendid record of service in helping to combat Communist aggression in South Vietnam, Saint Paul earned the Navy Unit Commendation and two Meritorious Unit Commendations.
In 1964 Saint Paul was involved in the filming of the motion picture In Harm's Way, starring John Wayne.
At San Diego, California, on 7 December 1970, Saint Paul began inactivation procedures. She sailed to Bremerton, Washington, on 1 February 1971 where she was decommissioned on 30 April and was placed in reserve with the Puget Sound Group of the Pacific Reserve Fleet.
Saint Paul was the last all-gun Baltimore-class cruiser in US Navy service (USS Chicago (CG-11, ex-CA-136) and USS Columbus (CG-12, ex-CA-74)) soldiered on into the eighties as Albany-class guided missile cruisers).
Struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 31 July 1978, Saint Paul was sold in January 1980.

TOTAL sold his refinery shares on 2006 to Murco.According to its present scheme and market prices ,it is quite impossible to make it profitable.Modification into a storage is the best option Murco can take now.This was the fate of several refineries in France during these past 20 years

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?

The RT-2 is a road mobile 3-stage, single warhead ICBM. Its 29.5 meter length and 1.7meter diameter are approximately the same size and shape as the U.S. Minuteman ICBM. It has a throw-weight of 1000 kg and carries a single warhead with a yield of 550 Kt and accuracy (CEP) of 900m according to Russian sources [as opposed to 300m according to Western sources]. Its road mobile capability gave the SS-25 an extremely high rate of survivability. It can fire from field deployment sites or through sliding roof garage bases. The SS-25 joined operational Soviet SRF regiments in 1985. A total area of approximately 190,000 square kilometers could be required to deploy a force consisting of 500 road-mobile SS-25 ICBMs. Mobile units require a much higher number of personnel for maintenance and operation than fixed systems. In turn, the SS-25 was significantly more costly to maintain and operate than silo launched systems.
The three stage solid propellant RT-2PM Topol became the first Soviet mobile ICBM to be successfully deployed. It was deployed after two decades of unsuccessful attempts by different design bureaus to create a reliable mobile launch system. It emerged from the same line of development as mobile missiles such as the SS-X-16 Temp-2S and the 'SS-20 Pioneer, and was deployed as a replacement for the widely deployed SS-11 SEGO.
All three stages are made of composite materials. First stage operation the flight control is implemented through four aerodynamic and four jet vanes. Four similar trellised aerodynamic surfaces serve for stabilization. During the second and third stage of flight gas is injected into the diverging part of the nozzle for flight control.
The missile is deployed in a Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL) canister mounted on cross-country 7-axle chassis on a mobile launch vehicle (see photo below). The chassis incorporates jacks, gas and hydraulic drives and cylinders, with a power of several hundred tons, for jacking and leveling of the launcher, speeding up (combat) and slowing down (maintaining) elevation of the container with the missile in the vertical position. The TEL is accompanied by a Mobile command post, carrying support facilities mounted on cross-country 4-axle chassis with unified vans. The complex is equipped with an onboard inertial navigation system which gives the TEL group the capability to conduct the launch independently from its field deployment sites. This topo-geodesic support and navigation subsystem, created by the "Signal" Research Institute, provides a quick and highly precise tie-in of the launcher in a field position and enables its crew to carry out missile launches from any combat patrol route point. The launch can also be carried out at regimental bases from the aforementioned garrison garage.
Development of the RT-2PM was approved on July 19, 1977 and carried out by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology headed by A. D. Nadiradzye. Flight tests were conducted on the Plesetsk test site from February through December 1985. The main problem that had to be overcome during this period was the development of battle management system. After the first test series was successfully conducted in April 1985, with the first regiment with Topol missiles put on alert in July 1985. Throughout this time work continued on improving the battle management system. The first regiment of "Topol"-missiles employing a modernized mobile command center (in area the of Irkutsk) were put on alert on 27 May 1988. The test missile firings were finally completed in December 1987.
At the time of the signing of the Start-1 treaty in 1991 the Soviet Union had deployed some 288 Topol missiles. Deployment continued, and at the end of 1996 a total of 360 Topol missiles were deployed.
The Topol missile was deployed at previously developed deployment sites. After the INF-Treaty was signed in 1987 several SS-20 Pioneer deployment sites were adapted to launch the SS-25 Topol missiles. The United States expressed specific concerns during the INF treaty negotiations. When the SS-25 missile system was deployed in the field, with its missile inside the canister and mounted on the launcher, the US contended that the canister might conceal an SS-20 missile. This was of concern because unlike the sigle warhead of the SS-25, the SS-20 carried up to 3 warheads. A resolution was reached after the Soviet Union agreed to allow inspection parties to use radiation detection systems to measure fast neutron intensity flux emanating from the launch canister. A launch canister with a missile inside containing a single warhead (SS-25) emitted a different pattern of fast neutrons than did one with a missile having three warheads (SS-20).
Provisions of the SALT-2 agreement prohibited the deployment of more than one new missile (which became RT-23UTTh), it was officially declared by the Soviet Union that the SS-25 Topol was developed to upgrade the silo based SS-13 RT-2P. The US government disputed this view, contending that the missile was clearly more than 5% larger and had twice the throw-weight as the SS-13 and therefore constituted a new misile system.
An SS-25 with two MIRVs may have been tested in 1991, and the missile was tested at least once with four MIRV warheads, but there has apparently been no further development of a multiple warhead version. This became a point of contention during the conclusion of the 1991 START negotiations, at which time the US pressed for a definition of "downloading" (removing warheads from missiles) that would complicate any Soviet attempt suddenly to deploy multiple warheads on the SS-25.
Russia plans to reequip approximately 400 silos where obsolete SS-11, SS-13 and SS-17 missiles are located. Under the START-II Treaty Russia is permitted to place 90 single- warhead solid fuel missiles in reequipped SS-18 ICBM silos. In order to guard against a break-out scenario involving the rapid reconversion of SS-18 silos on-site inspection became a very important aspect of Start II verification. In accordance with the Protocol on Procedures Governing Elimination of Heavy ICBMs and on Procedures Governing Conversion of Silo Launchers of Heavy ICBMs, US inspectors could either physically witness the pouring of the five meters of concrete in the bottom of the silo or measure silo depth before and after concrete was poured. The Treaty did prohibit placing a launch canister greater than 2.5 meters in diameter. The Russians have undertaken a concerted political commitment to deploy only a single-warhead ICBMs of the SS-25 type in these converted launchers. The possibility exists, however that Russia could further modify the converted SS-18 silos to enable them to launch a different missile than the one declared.
The breakup of the Soviet Union had a significant impact on the Topol program. The dispersed manufacturing of ICBM components serious complicated researching and building new missile systems For example the Minsk Wheeled Truck-Tractor Manufacturing Plant [MAZ] in Belarus manufactured the missiles' transporter launchers, and some 90% of the components of the guidance system were manufactured in Ukraine.
In Belarus, as of December 1995, 63 SS-25 ICBMs originally deployed there had been returned to Russia. As of December 1995, Belarus had two operational SS-25 mobile ICBM regiments remaining on its territory, with a total of 18 nuclear warheads. In July 1992, Belarus signed an agreement with Russia placing the regiments under exclusive Russian control. In September 1993, Moscow and Minsk signed an agreement requiring the return of these nuclear missiles and all related missile support equipment to Russia by the end of 1996. A total of 81 SS-25 ICBMs and associated warheads were returned to Russia from Belarus.
By the late 1990s the lack of resources and qualified personnel forced the Russian Navy to cut back operations considerably, with no more than one or two regiments of the mobile SS-25 missiles dispersed in the field. The remaining 40 or so regiments, each with nine single-warhead missiles, remain in garrison.
In February 2001, in a special test of operational readiness, the Strategic Missile Forces successfully launched a silo-based Topol ICBM at a target in the Kura range in Kamchatka. The Topol missile, the oldest of its type still in the Russian arsenal, was said to have performed flawlessly despite having outlived by 150 percent its operational period of service.
On 01 April 2005 the Strategic Missile Force of Russia, acting on the defense minister's orders, started liquidating two divisions in Kartaly, the Chelyabinsk region, and Kostroma. The number of missile divisions will be slashed from 15 to 10 by 2010 and the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) on combat duty will fall from 496 to 313.
The main reason for the ICBM cuts is old age, as some of the missiles were produced in Ukraine in the Soviet era. The collapse of the Soviet Union put an end to their production and the missile group's renewal process. Those missiles produced in Russia are growing old too. According to Lieutenant General Vitaly Linnik, deputy commander of the Strategic Missile Force for armaments, "the removal of ICBMs whose service life has expired from combat duty is proceeding according to plan and will not affect the combat readiness of the Force."
As of 01 April 2005 Kommersant reported that the Strategic Missile Force of Russia had 496 ICBMs, including 226 silo-launched (86 heavy missiles R-36MUTTH and R-36M2 Voevoda, 10 medium missiles UR-100NUTTH, and 40 light missiles RS-12M2 Topol-M) and 270 mobile ground-launched missiles RS-12M Topol. By 2010, the Force may have no more than 313 ICBMs, including 154 silo-launched (40 R-36M2 Voevoda, 50 UR-100NUTTH, and 64 RS-12M2 Topol M), and 159 mobile ground-launched missiles (144 RS-12M Topol and 15 RS-12M1 Topol M). The current 270 mobile ground-launched solid-fuel missiles RS-12M Topol (SS-25 Sickle in NATO classification) may be slashed to 144 in five years. At the same time, 89 new Topol-M missiles (64 RS-12M2 and 15 RS-12M1) are to be put on combat duty, but this is nearly two times fewer than the number of ICBMs to be slashed (136). The number of warheads on the ICBMs will be reduced from 1,770 to 923. [upon close inspection these numbers don't exactly add up and are internally inconsistent, based on standard warhead loading assumptions]

Chris Hayes, an editor at large of The Nation and host of the talk show bearing his name on MSNBC, was raised in a working-class neighborhood but attended some of the most exclusive schools on the planet.
"I grew up in the Bronx," says the affable, 33-year-old anchor of "Up With Chris Hayes." "My mother was the daughter of an Italian deli owner. But I'm also hugely a product of the meritocracy, and for that reason I have my own affection for it."
Both experiences provided fodder for his much-discussed first book, "Twilight of the Elites: America after Meritocracy."
The third chapter deals with the author's background as a student at New York's prestigious Hunter College High School, which has a 6.6 percent admission rate.
Hayes argues that institutions such as his alma mater, which strive to reward the best and brightest, end up enshrining the very class privilege they're designed to defeat. And he further maintains that society's misguided devotion to the meritocratic ideal has resulted in the failure of the nation's flagship institutions, from banks to baseball.
"In reality, our meritocracy has failed not because it's too meritocratic," Hayes writes, "but because in practice, it isn't very meritocratic at all."
The author, who is scheduled to appear Jan. 16 for a reading at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, recently chatted about his theories.
First things first: In light of your observations, what do you think about the deal that averted the fiscal cliff?
Not surprisingly, I think it fits perfectly with my thesis about the distance between the elites and ordinary folk. It's amazing that the greatest areas of concern for the broad mass of people weren't reflected by the political discourse.
A small set of elites in Washington is much more obsessed with the deficit than is the rest of the country. All that Congress talked about was the deficit. And yet the decision to let the payroll tax cut expire wasn't even debated.
Don't get me wrong — I think there are reasons to let the tax cut expire. But what struck me was how uncontroversial that decision was when the result will be smaller paychecks for 77 percent of the population.
One of your central arguments is that meritocracies inevitably become rigged to protect the interests of the ruling class. For instance, you argue that admission to elite academies such as Hunter is granted disproportionately to students who can afford expensive test preparation courses.
In our society, we have an almost religious belief in this idea of a level playing field, and it's become toxic.
There are two kinds of equality: the equality of opportunity and the equality of outcomes. In this country, we concentrate on equalizing opportunities and don't do much to redistribute wealth and make sure that outcomes also are equal. They do that much more in other countries.
But, during this long period of time in which we've had a meritocratic society, we've seen huge declines in social mobility. For instance, the best way to predict kids' SAT scores is to look at their parents' incomes. The hydraulics of power guarantee that those on top of society will find ways to pull up the ladder behind them.
You raise the specter that if the gap between the haves and have-nots gets much wider, the U.S. could turn away from democracy and toward totalitarianism. Do you think that's a realistic possibility?
Is it likely in the near term? No.
But in the past, societies in decline have had a tendency to produce authoritarian systems, and it's something to be absolutely, vigilantly guarded against. You don't want to have a society where the military, by a wide margin, is our most trusted institution, and Congress is the least trusted — as recent surveys have shown.
That would leave the founders, as a man, absolutely chilled.
Another of your premises is that the elites who are running things are incompetent. But isn't the larger issue that the problems they are tasked with addressing — such as fixing the economy or the educational system — are incredibly complex and difficult to repair?
