Monticello Mythology
What Sally Hemings tells us about our times.
Feb 8, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 20 • By EDWIN M. YODER JR.
As for Sally Hemings, often portrayed in apocryphal accounts as a siren and seductress, she was all of eight years old when her master left Monticello for Paris. We may accordingly discount the notion (a favorite of Professor Brodie's) that when Jefferson cited "mulatto" soil colors in his European travel diaries he was indulging an erotic fantasy. It was, moreover, not Jefferson but relatives at home who chose Sally Hemings as Polly Jefferson's companion on the transatlantic voyage. When the two children reached London, en route to Paris, Abigail Adams viewed Sally Hemings as the more childlike of the two. She was, after all, 14 years old and doubtless bewildered and disoriented. The ship's captain who had brought the two girls from Virginia was of the view that the immature Sally ought to be sent back; and so she might have been. So much for the notion that Jefferson contrived to screen the importation of a longed-for mistress by sending for his younger daughter.
The tissue of hearsay and distortion that characterizes popular versions of the "affair" is to be expected now that historical analysis is a fading art. But that hardly excuses professional historians who have flocked to join the parade of Jefferson detractors. The case of Joseph Ellis is typical. In the earlier Jefferson biography American Sphinx, Ellis discounted the Hemings liaison. He then underwent a conversion in the face of the Oxford DNA tests, and on the PBS Newshour pronounced that the case had now been proved.
His homework was slack, to say the least. Ellis had never heard of Randolph Jefferson, the suspect younger brother; nor did he understand the crucial difference in probative value between the patrilineal genetic materials tested in Oxford and the matrilineal (mitochondrial) DNA used at nearly the same time to verify the Romanov remains before their reburial in St. Petersburg. (He cited them as precisely parallel cases.)
William Hyland has performed a useful service, but there is an amusing irony here. He rightly scoffs at a number of weird arguments, including one theory, espoused in an 18th-century treatise by a certain Dr. Tissot, that since masturbation is harmful (a medical superstition of the time), and since Jefferson owned a copy of Tissot's treatise, he must—ergo!—have been spooked into taking a mistress as the recipient of his stray seed! Ludicrous, both in premise and inference, though typical of the bizarre theories so often called into play in this controversy.
Yet Hyland goes in for some dubious medical speculation of his own: Since, he argues, Jefferson suffered from midlife with a variety of complaints—arthritis, migraine headaches, and chronic digestive problems—he must have lacked the libido for a sustained sexual affair. He cites "Jefferson researcher" Cynthia Burton, a voice for the defense, who is of the view that Jefferson's "fertility had been waning for over 30 years" when Sally Hemings was allegedly bearing his children. How this could possibly be known without modern fertility testing and sperm-counting is a mystery.
Obviously, such speculation, whatever its argumentative thrust, is no more than a sideshow. But now, as in the heyday of the vogue of "psychobiography" that Fawn Brodie drew upon so heavily 35 years ago, attempts to read conditions of mind or body (to say nothing of sexual desire) into the past without benefit of clinical evidence are futile, when not ridiculous.
One imaginary couch is as tricky as any other.

About a year ago I dropped off a DeWalt DWE357 recip saw with the crew of Stevenson Construction, a remodeling company in Lafayette, CA. Last week I visited one of the company's jobsites and shot a video review (see below) of the tool with the foreman.
If you're not familiar with this saw, it was introduced in 2012 and has a canted motor that makes it a good 4 inches shorter than the average inline model. That and a 4-way blade clamp make for easier tight-quarters cutting; the tool fits better between joists and with the blade turned sideways it can almost cut flush into corners—as you might need to do when cutting a bottom plate free from the floor or a wall free at a corner. While not specifically designed for one-handed cutting—like Milwaukee's Hackzalls—the DWE357 is light enough and short enough to be used in that manner. The 10-amp motor and lack of an orbital function means this is not the tool of choice for heavy-duty demo. But that's not something most contractors do on a day-to-day basis; most contractors use recip saws for "surgical" cutting: making openings, cutting pipe and conduit, and removing the occasional door, window, or wall. For doing that kind of work—especially in tight quarters—this saw is a reasonable choice.

I was nervous before the injection, but he made me laugh and was very confident which helped me through it. What impressed me most was that he called me personally after my neck injection to see how I was doing.
I saw Dr. Sipple to see if he could help me with tennis elbow. It's been an on and off issue for years. He gave me a steroid shot and it has been very helpful and the most relief I have gotten to date. He took to the time to explain to me what was happening and how the steroid would work. He is patient and took two phone calls after the procedure to answer my questions. I really liked him and found him to be very personable unlike other Dr's I've seen in the past.
I mistakenly overheard a conversation Stipple was having with another much more professional doctor. Never go see Daniel Sipple if you don't need to.
Took the time to explain what I had, went over images, easy to talk to.
I would recommend him in a minute. He is very caring and seems to know what he is doing. He is highly recommend by other doctors.
Nice guy. Knew what he was doing and really seemed to care about me as a patient.

text: [[quoteright:335:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cleopatra_statue_2767.jpg]][[caption-width-right:335:The face of the historical ruler, complete with her CleopatraNose.]]A.k.a. the Cleopatra you're thinking of. ''Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator''[[note]]'Cleopatra' meaning 'glory of her fatherland,' 'Thea Philopator' meaning 'Goddess Who Loves Her Father''[[/note]] me was the last Pharaoh of AncientEgypt, at different points ruling jointly with her father, brother, other brother, and son, though with the latter three, she was clearly in charge and only using them to bolster her credibility as a female ruler. The Ptolemaic dynasty Cleopatra descended from was actually Greek; after the death of UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat, his empire was divided up by three generals, and Ptolemy I Soter got Egypt. Cleopatra was actually the first of her dynasty to bother learning Egyptian, and presented herself to her kingdom as a reincarnation of the goddess [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Isis]].The identity of Cleopatra's mother is uncertain. Born the third child of Pharaoh Ptolemy XII Auletes, Auletes lost his grip on his kingdom due to corruption and the loss of of Cyprus and Cyrenaica. In a desperate bid to regain control, he fled and begged Rome for money and troops to help him regain his throne. Cleopatra's two older sisters, Cleopatra VI Tryphaena and Berenice IV, seized power at this time -- first Cleopatra VI, then Berenice upon her mysterious death. Whether or not Cleopatra VII accompanied her father to Rome or remained in Egypt is debatable; she isn't really a concern in the contemporary records of either place. The reason this is even a question is because some accounts describe her as meeting Marc Antony around this age, while others assert she met him as an adult. What is certain is that Auletes eventually was able to secure the troops and money, and that Berenice was imprisoned and executed for her disloyalty. Cleopatra was now fourteen, the eldest of her remaining siblings, and thus the one with the best chance of keeping a hold on the throne should their father die. He elevated her to joint ruler at this point, though it's unlikely she had much power. In his will, four years later, he decreed that 18-year-old Cleopatra would rule jointly with her ten-year-old brother, Ptolemy XIII. She married him according to Egyptian custom, which the Ptolemies adopted for whatever reason, but refused to share power with him. Eventually, she progressed to leaving his name off official documents and his face off the coinage. This was just another complication on top of widespread famine and the Nile not flooding enough to irrigate crops. Around this time, Cleopatra ran foul of the Gabiniani, troops left behind when her father was restored to power. They killed the sons of the Roman governor of Syria, she handed them over in chains, and they didn't forget that. She was exiled when they joined with a cabal of courtiers and had Ptolemy placed on the throne as sole ruler. Aged thirteen, Ptolemy was eager to establish himself. The Roman civil wars between Pompey and Creator/GaiusJuliusCaesar were raging about this time, and Pompey took the gamble of begging Ptolemy for succor. Ptolemy was waiting seated on a throne in Alexandria harbor when Pompey disembarked, and ordered him executed on the spot, while his wife and children watched from the ship. Ptolemy hoped to gain credit with Caesar by killing his enemy for him, and allying himself with Rome-- which, you remember, Egypt borrowed a lot of money and troops from in the previous reign. When Caesar arrived in Alexandria, he was presented with Pompey's severed head.He was pissed.Whatever Caesar's political battles with Pompey, Pompey was a Roman Consul and his former son-in-law, his only legitimate child having been Pompey's wife. Believing that Ptolemy had no right, Caesar promptly took control of Egypt and declared himself the mediator between Ptolemy and Cleopatra. Cleopatra saw her chance and, legend has it, had herself smuggled to Caesar inside a rolled-up carpet. They had an affair, with Cleopatra giving birth to his son, Caesarion, or "Little Caesar." End result was that Caesar decided not to annex Egypt, and settled that Cleopatra and her brother were to be reconciled. Cleopatra would have preferred for Caesar to name their son his heir (which was illegal under Roman law, as Caesarion was not a Roman citizen) and to rule jointly with him after Caesar left, but Caesar refused. This led to a civil war in Alexandria, and, possibly, the burning of the famous Alexandria library. Caesar eventually got things under control, but Ptolemy drowned when his armor weighed him down too much. Cleopatra was promptly married to their younger brother, and ''he'' became her co-ruler. Her younger sister, Arsinoe, was taken to Rome by Caesar and executed. ----!!Relevant Tropes:* ActionDuo: Herself and Caesar, as well as herself and Marc Antony.* ActionMom: Shared power with her young sons and daughter, as well as Marc Antony.* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Had to win several battles against her brothers to become sole ruler of Egypt. Eventually only supplanted by ''the first Roman Emperor'', so also undone by this trope.* BadassFamily: Descended from the bodyguard of Alexander the Great, no less.* BadassInCharge: of the millennia-old monarchy of Egypt.* BadassInDistress: She enlisted the help of none other than Julius Caesar to become Queen.* BadassPrincess: before she became BadassInCharge.* BeamMeUpScotty: Modern perception of Cleopatra has been distorted quite a lot by [[Film/{{Cleopatra}} her most famous film]] - the real life Cleopatra would not have worn the bizarre headdresses and hair accessories that Elizabeth Taylor wore (she preferred the simple diadem worn by Hellenistic monarchs), and did not have bobbed hair. * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Famously offed herself with a bite from a snake. The alternative would likely have been to be paraded through the streets of Rome in chains before being killed in some creative manner by Augustus' lackeys.* BettyAndVeronica: Most certainly the Veronica, where the more decorous Roman Octavia was the Betty and Marc Anthony the Archie.* BigEntrance: Since she was at war with her brother/ husband, she was forbidden from entry into Alexandria when Julius Caesar was visiting. Instead, she was smuggled into the city in a rug, which was unfurled in front of Caesar to reveal the Queen hidden inside. The effect on the notoriously amorous Caesar of being surprised by a beautiful 21-year-old must have been quite astounding.* BrotherSisterIncest: The Ptolemies practised inbreeding as a tradition inherited from the original Pharaohs of Egypt. Cleopatra herself married two of her brothers, although given her second husband-brother was 14 when he was killed, this marriage was likely never consummated.* CleopatraNose: TropeNamer, of course. A trait she inherited from her Ptolemaic ancestors, she tended to exaggerate it in portraiture to stress her family ties. * DrivenToSuicide: Took her own life after seeing Antony die and Egypt conquered.* EthicalSlut: Cleopatra was an adulterer and broke up Marc Antony's respectable Roman marriage, but she was a serial monogamist who seems to have genuinely loved Antony.* FaceDeathWithDignity: Her response to seeing the snake used to kill herself was "Oh, so this was here."* GagNose: This is usually how her nose is depicted in comic strips and cartoons. In the ''Asterix'' franchise it is drawn as a pointy triangle. * GoingNative: Contrary to popular belief, she was not herself Egyptian, but a Hellenistic Greek monarch, ruling in Egypt. Being on the tail-end of centuries of culture-mixing between the indigenous Egyptians and Greek colonists, Cleopatra's court was a mix of Hellenistic and Egyptian tradition, and she was the first Ptolemy to speak Egyptian in public and see much of the Egyptian countryside.* KlingonPromotion: She got to the top as the end result of decades of civil war in Egypt.* HistoricalBeautyUpdate: There's no doubting that she was a phenomenally sexy woman, but she definitely did not look a thing like Creator/ElizabethTaylor.** Inverted by Cleopatra herself, who made herself look a lot uglier in portraits - see LadyLooksLikeADude.* LadyOfWar [=/=] CommandingCoolness: Commanded the fleet at Actium.* LittleMissBadass: Slaughtered her way to the top at the age of ''twenty-one''. Also, think how small a person must be to be carried in a ''carpet'' without detection!* LadyLooksLikeADude: There are two kinds of ancient portrait of Cleopatra - ones in which she looks like the epitome of Greek femininity, and the ones where she looks like a cross-dresser. The latter was to stress her links to her predecessors as king, imitate images of Roman consuls, and to show herself as having the heart and stomach of a king.* LastOfHerKind: The last ruler of the Ptolemaic line in Egypt, and the last Pharaoh.* MemeticSexGoddess: Manage to attract the most powerful men in the Roman Republic, and even had one of them ''betray his nation and kickstart a civil war'' to be with her. * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Just ask her brothers. Oh wait...* PopCulturalOsmosis: Together with Nefertete and Hatsjepsut the most famous female pharao in popular culture, though she even eclipses them. * RaceLift: The real Cleo looked very Mediterranean, but she is popularly imagined either with RavenHairIvorySkin, or as a black woman, depending on the artist.* RoyallyScrewedUp: Her family practiced incest, and usually fought against each other for power. She had been through two civil wars stared by her brothers, and had her siblings killed to secure power to herself.* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She didn't leave her mark on history by sitting around eating figs, now did she?* StarCrossedLovers: The love-affair between Cleopatra and Marc Antony has become one of the most famous historical romances.* VindicatedByHistory: More of a household name than many, if not any, of her contemporaries. !! Cleopatra in fiction:* She's one of the protagonists in Creator/WilliamShakespeare's play ''Theatre/AntonyAndCleopatra''.* Creator/GeorgeBernardShaw's play, ''Caesar and Cleopatra'' depicts Caesar's time in Egypt and his relationship with Cleopatra. In the 1945 film adaptation, she's played by Vivien Leigh.* The 1963 film ''Film/{{Cleopatra}}'' with Creator/ElizabethTaylor is proably how she lives on in the imagination of most people.** The song "Cleopatra" from Music/AdamAndTheAnts' album ''Music/DirkWearsWhiteSox'' references the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton film version.* Inspired a catchy jazz song, ''Le nez de Cléopâtre'' (1938) (''Cleopatra's nose'') by Ray Ventura. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHGI56VKBWI]]* The ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' album ''Asterix and Cleopatra'' introduced her as a recurring character in the ''Asterix'' franchise. * Also battled against Creator/MarilynMonroe in ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory''. * Plays an important role in the second series of ''Series/{{Rome}}'' where she [[spoiler: has sex with Titus Pullo]]. She's played by Lyndsey Marshal.* Shows up in ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' where she demolishes the pyramids so she can build a mall(for herself only).----

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals hope home schedule ends on a high note
The Arizona Cardinals wrap up their 2012 home schedule on Sunday when they host the Chicago Bears at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.
Despite enduring a nine-game losing streak this season and finishing well out of the playoff hunt, the players and coaches have always prided themselves on hard work and effort. According to head coach Ken Whisenhunt, that will be no different this weekend.
"Well, I mean I think where we are in this season, it's very important," he said. "You know I think we did a good job last week of getting back to playing the type of football we needed to against a good team and we gotta do that this week."
The win over the Detroit Lions last Sunday snapped Arizona's losing skid and gave the Cardinals just their fourth win at home this season.
"This will be a challenge with Chicago but you know it's important," Whisenhunt said. "I think playing at home, you gotta be good at home.
"For the most part we've been able to do that, although we've had our struggles this year, that's important to us."
Both the coaches and the players also emphasized that finishing on a good note at home is important for their fans. Through thick and thin, this fan base has come out and supported the Cardinals.
"The fans here are so great; they always support us," said veteran safety Kerry Rhodes. "Even last week was a sellout which is remarkable after the stretch we've been through. For us it's about getting better, improving on what we did last week and giving the fans something to cheer about."
Since moving into University of Phoenix Stadium before the 2006 season, the Cardinals hold a 36-22 home record, including postseason. If this week's game against the Bears is a sellout, it will be the team's 73rd straight in the building, including preseason games, too.

- Help students move ahead on the road to graduation. A recent study (.pdf/2.98MB) by The Council for Adult & Experiential Learning shows that students who took advantage of prior learning assessment (PLA) programs like CLEP earned more institutional credits and graduated at higher rates than non-PLA students. Requires Adobe Reader; latest version recommended.
Before orientation
- Encourage enrollment managers to share information about your CLEP policy while visiting high schools. Suggest having open houses on campus.
- Include a copy of your institution's CLEP policy in the orientation/admission mailing to admitted applicants.
- Make sure academic departments, academic support services and financial aid offices are aware of CLEP's benefits so they can advise incoming students. Encourage them to schedule meetings or conduct presentations with staff and/or distribute materials.
During orientation
- Include CLEP information in your orientation packets. Order the CLEP Take One brochure and other free CLEP publications.
- Download a free Microsoft Word template (.doc/148KB) and create your own CLEP policy flyer.
- Order a free CLEP tabling kit and sponsor an exhibit at your orientation fair.
- If you have a test center, set up special testing times for students during orientation week. Include your test center on campus tours and have it featured on your orientation website.
- If you do not have a CLEP test center on campus, use the test center search to find the location of the closest center. Include this information in new-student orientation packets.
CLEP will attend the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) 2011 Conference.

I'm aware of all the "archival" issues. My oldest drymounted prints go back 40 years. I did not have a press then so I used a steam iron. (no water)
Still mounted flat and firm today. The only time I had lifting problems was when I used foam core. I've since learned to mount with foam core but try to avoid it anyway. Now Mr. Weston was know to use some pretty cheap cardboard. Nobody seems to be turning them down though. I like the look of a flat mounted print so I do it.
I think there's an awful lot of ego involved in thinking that museums would prefer an unmounted print for archival purpose.

To be completely honest, I'm kind of a catch.... :D
Ooooh.... big blank box.. considering I type fast and tend to ramble... could be dangerous. About me: Not gonna lie...I'm kinda hilarious. My job often has me shaking my head in disbelief, people be cray, so I like to find the humor in things... sarcastically. You'd probably have to be a bit of a jerk to get me, but not too much of a jerk... cuz that's just not cool. I'm independent... and stubborn... but it also makes me fiercely loyal to my family and friends in that - ride or die/do anything for you/always got your back - kind of way. I love to travel (people watching at the airport is awesome... people watching on a cruise ship, even better). Favorite passport stamp? Hands down, South Africa. Buuut I do love staring at the gorgeous blue water in the Caribbean. I like to throw on some heels and go out, seeing a movie or trying new restaurants... buuut I equally enjoy staying at home with a beer and my DVR. I like... DIY projects and painting but I also like to read and do puzzles. I have a bar in my living room aaand a craft room upstairs. What? Yes, my interests are definitely varied... to say the least, and I'm easy-going enough to be open to more. Cheer for your favorite sports teams? Easy.... Ooooh unless it's the Gators... That could be a toughie. Take up underwater basket weaving or bird watching? Ummm sure, I'll try anything at least once, maybe twice if alcohol is involved. Ha! About you? You have a cute smile and can make me laugh? Done! Ahhh, if only it was that easy. Hmmm, career driven and family oriented? Ouch, now it's getting a little resume-ish. Ok, how bout this? You are able to read this profile with a grin, maybe shaking your head a couple times in slight confusion and you think I am someone you need to know more about. Why Match.com? Brutal honesty... I sometimes think I'm a lil too happy and independent. I'm in a good place in my life... I have a home that I love and a successful career that I don't hate (most days). I'm comfortable where I am at... but sometimes I find myself thinking I want more. A partner in crime that can keep me on my toes and make me consider sharing a closet one day? Whoa. Now THAT is a terrifying yet exciting adventure that I am looking forward to... One day. :-)

I have Cats
I have wayyyy too many pictures of my cat in my phone, but in my defense... she's pretty freakin cute. Grey with white paws? Come on.
Target? I mean, it is a pretty magical place. I just bought a new house, so I'm at Lowes every weekend for paint or something. I also love my backyard… watching the ripples in the water… and looking for alligators of course. Day 32… none spotted yet.

Hanging out with family/friends, reading books, attempting DIY projects.. I feel super badass with a drill in my hand ;-), cooking/baking/making a mess in the kitchen, puzzles, shopping, drunken Mario or Guitar Hero
I'm a mystery/thriller kind of gal, and occasionally I will read a Jodi Picoult chick lit book. My fave go-to person is usually James Patterson and his latest co-writer.

Making More from Less: Data Driven Alchemy at the Charleston Conference
The Charleston Conference felt bigger than ever this year, with multiple attendees in the halls and elevators commenting on the profusion of programs at multiple venues, the standing room only grounds for popular breakout sessions, and the fact that they could no longer count on seeing everyone they know among the other attendees in the course of the conference. It is equally impossible to see even a fraction of the many compelling programs presented during the event; below is only our impression from the handful we could personally attend.
Market Powerhouse: A library sale is just the beginning | Editorial
As we approach this year's BookExpo America (BEA), it's useful, perhaps especially to publishers, to contemplate where libraries fit into the broad book market. It's hard to ignore just how fundamentally important libraries have become to the potential success of a book—that is, if you pay attention to a few simple facts and are willing to question persistent myths.
Measuring the Value of Journals | Periodicals Price Survey 2014
Journal price data is important for budget management processes, but price alone is not the sole factor determining value. Some metrics, like Impact Factor, have become important in assessing value, and similar value metrics will only increase in importance in the future. The implementation of the Counter 4 during 2014 will expand the availability of usage data from journals, databases, ebooks, and multimedia to support better decision-making. Building upon COUNTER (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) and working with the digital object identifier (DOI) and ORCID (open researcher and contributor ID) identifier, the PIRUS (Publisher and Institutional Repository Usage Statistics) Code of Practice is designed to provide usage data at the individual article level, consolidating usage across platforms.
Steps Down the Evolutionary Road | Periodicals Price Survey 2014
The birth of the World Wide Web 25 years ago was the big bang event that spurred more change in the serials and scholarly publishing world than seen in the century that preceded it. Since that time, we have rapidly evolved from the print world to that of e-journals, e-journal packages, and open access (OA). But in the serials ecosystem, as in nature, not all things evolve at the same rate, and the cumulative impact of subtle steps can bring about profound change over time. Despite some notable events, such as the purchase of Mendeley by Elsevier, the sale of Springer to BC Partners, and the launch of SCOAP 3, there was no major disruption in the serials world during 2013.
Ithaka Study Shows Shifting Priorities Among Academic Librarians
On March 12, academic research nonprofit Ithaka S+R released its latest survey of academic library leaders. Gathering input from 499 library deans and directors from institutions large and small, the new Library Survey—the first of its kind since 2010—paints a picture of the shifting priorities of modern academic libraries, the challenges they face, and the resources and leadership techniques they're using to meet those challenges.
Librarians, Distributors Weigh in on Macmillan Ebook Lending | PubCrawl
Ebook distribution to libraries took another leap forward on October 17 when Baker & Taylor, OverDrive, 3M, and RBDigital (Recorded Books) told their customers that Macmillan's entire ebook backlist, 11,000 titles from lead imprints St. Martin's, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Henry Holt, Macmillan Children's, and Tor, would now be available to their patrons.
Penguin Ebooks Return to OverDrive, Go National on Axis 360
"Penguin will resume doing business with OverDrive as of this morning," Penguin spokesperson Erica Glass told LJ on September 25. According to a blog post by Karen Estrovich, collection development manager for OverDrive, 17,000 Penguin ebooks are already "live and available for purchase in OverDrive Marketplace." Although Estrovich refers to the transaction as a purchase, the books are being offered for a one year term on a one copy/one user lending model.

Embraer has confirmed the signature of a long-planned purchase by the Dominican Republic of eight EMB-314 Super Tucano light attack aircraft. The deal was finalised "at the end of last year", according to the Brazilian manufacturer.
The new aircraft will be used for internal security and border patrol missions, says Embraer, which had been expecting to sign the deal since mid-2007.
The armed Super Tucanos will provide a new capability for the Dominican air force, which has a current frontline inventory of EADS Casa C-212 fixed-wing transports and Bell OH-58 scout and UH-1H transport helicopters, according to Flight's MiliCAS and HeliCAS databases.
Previous export customers for the EMB-314 are Chile (12) and Colombia (25). Launch operator the Brazilian air force has also so far taken delivery of 63 Super Tucanos, according to Embraer.

the Isle of Man TT races)
Manx Radio (legally Radio Manx Ltd.[1]) (Manx: Radio Vannin) is the national commercial radio station for the Isle of Man.
The station began broadcasting on 29 June 1964, almost ten years before commercial radio was licensed in the United Kingdom. The Isle of Man, having its own government and laws, was not subject to the rules prohibiting commercial broadcasting in the UK. However, the Manx Government still had to apply to the UK's General Post Office for a frequency and for permission to broadcast. First requested in 1960, a licence was eventually granted in May 1964.
The station was allocated an FM frequency of 89.0 MHz and a comparatively low power of 50 watts. In October 1964, an additional frequency of 1600 kHz AM was allocated to the station to provide greater coverage, although again at a limited power of 50 watts.
Manx Radio broadcasts mainly in English with a few hours a week devoted to broadcasting in Manx. During the Isle of Man TT some programmes are broadcast in other European languages, such as French and German.
Current frequencies[edit]
Manx Radio now broadcasts on 1368 kHz AM to the whole island; 89.0 MHz (from Snaefell) for the north of the island; 97.2 MHz FM (from Douglas/Carnane) for the south of the island; and 103.7 MHz (from Jurby) for the island's hills. Additional low-power transmitters cover Ramsey and Peel on a frequency of 89.5 MHz.
Company structure[edit]
Manx Radio is the island's public service broadcaster. It was originally run by the Isle of Man Broadcasting Commission, a state-owned body, under the name Isle of Man Broadcasting Company. In 1980 the company was moved to an arms-length operation using the name Radio Manx Limited (the on-air name did not change). Since 1994, the shares in Radio Manx Limited have been held by the Manx Radio Trust, further distancing the station from Tynwald. Nevertheless, the company remains responsible to Tynwald and its operations are reviewed annually.
Radio TT[edit]
During the Isle of Man TT races, the 1368 kHz frequency becomes Manx Radio TT, providing news and results on the races. From May 2012, Radio TT is to be re-branded as Manx Radio TT 365. This is to signify that the station will be available to listen to throughout the year via the internet.
Obviously racing will not be taking place throughout the vast majority of the year, and therefore the station will rely on Manx Radio's vast archive of TT races and chat shows blended with music.[2]
English language presenters[edit]
Manx language presenters[edit]
Manx Radio news[edit]
Manx Radio employs ten broadcast journalists, responsible for hourly news bulletins and the flagship thrice-daily programme Mandate, broadcast at breakfast (7:30-8:30am), lunchtime (1-1:15pm) and drivetime (5:30-6pm).

moreClarity, readability and rigor combine in the second edition of this widely-used textbook to provide the first step into general relativity for undergraduate students with a minimal background in mathematics. Topics within relativity that fascinate astrophysical researchers and students alike are covered with Schutz's characteristic ease and authority - from black holes to gravitational lenses, from pulsars to the study of the Universe as a whole. This edition now contains discoveries by astronomers that require general relativity for their explanation; a revised chapter on relativistic stars, including new information on pulsars; an entirely rewritten chapter on cosmology; and an extended, comprehensive treatment of modern detectors and expected sources. Over 300 exercises, many new to this edition, give students the confidence to work with general relativity and the necessary mathematics, whilst the informal writing style makes the subject matter easily accessible.

Family rebuilds life with patience and thanks
Driving home from work one recent afternoon, Christal Buckley passed a house that had clearly been damaged by fire.
Tears so quickly overwhelmed the teacher's aide, all she could do was pull the car over and cry uncontrollably.
It has been seven months since wildfires destroyed the Kamay house Christal and Robert Buckley loved. Told initially the structure had been spared, by the time the couple and Christal's sons were able to get back inside the fire zone, sparks rekindled, and they arrived only to watch their home go up in flames.
"It had blown the propane line inside, and there was a 20-foot jet of fire rising up in the middle of the house," Robert said. "I've seen hurricanes in Florida and tornadoes in Texas, but I've never seen anything like that."
There were 16 families burned out in mid-April when two days of high winds drove blazes around Kamay, Iowa Park and the Upper Charlie Road. According to the Wichita County Disaster Relief Committee, some are already rebuilding, but most, like the Buckley's, could not bring themselves to go back.
The tragedy touched a community. WCDRC, churches, neighbors, employers and individuals stepped in to do what they could.
This is what Christal and Robert try to hold on to, though it's clear the wounds are still fresh.
Sitting on a donated couch in the Iowa Park home they recently purchased, Christal relates events of that day rapidly, slowing down only when her voice breaks and eyes fill with tears.
"There was nothing to salvage. We had no clothes, no shampoo, even toothpaste. Our little cat died in the fire," said Christal, hugging Andy, the rescued miniature pinscher friends brought them.
"People say 'you're still alive,' and we're grateful, but all those important papers, crayon drawings, little things you save are gone. There was a cellphone with 500 family pictures I'll never see again."
Robert, who works for Smith's Gardentown, tries to focus on a good memory. The morning of the fire he had spent extra time thoroughly watering rosebushes and willow trees he had just planted.
"When we got back there was an unburned, green circle around all those new plants and the raised garden beds," he said. "I transplanted a willow tree and some of the rose bushes in our new yard."
Christal says her sons Connor Lyles, 15, and Nicholas Maxwell, 9, were already in Iowa Park schools, which helped, but both have faced challenges. Connor is still receiving counseling.
No matter what stories the Buckleys tell, however, all are punctuated by repeated expressions of appreciation for friends, family and strangers who stepped in with everything from clothing to furniture to temporary housing. She says their new church family at Heritage Assembly of God and their prior one at Evangel Temple have been a blessing.
When gifts have exceeded their needs, the Buckleys have paid it forward, donating things to yet another family.
With the support of Lanette Cheek, her supervisor at Wichita Falls High School, Christal has sent stacks of thank you notes addressed to everyone whose name she could learn, no matter how large or small the assistance.
Unable to bring herself to do one particular card, however, yesterday she instead opted to share her family's appreciation in person.
Christal Buckley, a woman who would admit she's not comfortable with public speaking, stood before the entire congregation of Evangel Temple to thank them all.

ZeroNine Black Ops Road / Race Carbon Fiber Motorcycle Helmet, Black is rated out of 5 by 8.Rated 5 out of 5 by DONALD from Another great bargain. This is my 4th helmet I have purchased from you and carbon fiber helmet beats all the rest. I have told other riders about this buy, expect more buyers from this region of the country.Date published: 2014-04-03Rated 1 out of 5 by RAYMOND from I ordered 2 of these, one large, one medium. The medium had two flaws in the outer shell, possibly voids in the casting? The stitching in the lining was ragged and coming loose. Very thin padding caused hard pressure points and a poor fit. Both of these appeared to be of sufficiently inferior quality that I wouldn't trust my head to them, and returned both. The return process was fairly easy and convenient since SG printed return shipping labels that cost less than if I shipped them myself.Date published: 2014-04-02Rated 4 out of 5 by JOESPH from Great, perfect fit, very stylish,and my 13 yr old likes it.Date published: 2014-03-07Rated 5 out of 5 by STEFAN from Awesome fit and superlight!!!Date published: 2014-02-20Rated 5 out of 5 by KEVIN from Very nice,it is light weight and the air vents keep your head coolDate published: 2014-02-04Rated 5 out of 5 by MR BILLY R from ordered size xxl not large enought do you have largerDate published: 2013-09-16Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID from Very pleased, construction comparable to Shoei helmet I own.Date published: 2013-09-12Rated 5 out of 5 by BRENDA from Is a birthday present for a nephew who just lost his father. he loves it.Date published: 2013-09-08

text: Hello, up for sale is my 2003 BMW k1200 gt. I am the third own of this bike and purchased from Moto Corsa in Portland Oregon about three years ago. The second own of the bike only had it for about 100-200 miles and during that time he dropped it in his driveway. Only thing to happen to the bike was plastic damage and the bike does have a clean title. All plastic was repaired by previous owner. On to the good stuff the bike has just over 10k miles and still climbing as i still ride it from time to time. Tire are about 50-60 percent tread left so about one more riding season left on them. The 9000 mile service has been done on the bike, valves have been done, oil, etc. Cost about $450 dollars. Will have oil done on bike for full asking price. Only reason I am selling it is so the wife and i can buy a bigger travel trailer. The bike is fun to ride and you can get about 250-270 miles out of a tank of gas freeway riding. It is the perfect combination of sport and touring bike I have been on. The bike is very well balanced and has never disappointed me when riding. I still owe money on the loan so the credit union has the tittle to the bike. You are welcome to take for a test ride only with endorsement on license, proof of insurance and keys to your car! LOL sorry have to cover my self just in case! To whom ever purchase the bike will be buying a great motorcycle with very low miles! It is ready for summer and a long road trip.

the valley for her "creek parties", a picnic for many classrooms
of grade school children. Dorothy had a very special spot in her

serenity and have shared many wonderful memories over the
