Close Guantánamo — Then Give It Back to Cuba
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
This week marks the 13th anniversary of the arrival of the first post-9/11 prisoners to Guantánamo Bay, the most notorious prison on the planet. This grim anniversary, and the beginning of normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, serves as a reminder that we need to permanently close the prison and return the land to its rightful owners, the Cuban people. It is time to put an end to this dark chapter of United States history.

Steve Hanley (born 29 May 1959) is an Irish-born English musician, based in Manchester. He is best known for playing bass guitar in The Fall from 1979 to 1998, and afterwards in The Lovers.
Hanley's distinctive basslines were a signature part of The Fall, often carrying a song's instrumental melody without forsaking the bass guitar's traditional role as a propulsive element of the rhythm section. He is described by critic Dave Simpson[1] as "one of British music's greatest bassists". Second only to founding vocalist Mark E. Smith in longevity in the group, Hanley co-wrote over 100 songs on more than a dozen albums. Smith spoke publicly of his admiration for Hanley, telling Melody Maker[2] in 1983 "The most original aspect of The Fall is Steve...I've never heard a bass player like him...I don't have to tell him what to play, he just knows. He is The Fall sound."

In 1976 he played in The Sirens alongside Marc Riley and Craig Scanlon. When Riley left to join The Fall, they became Staff 9, but disbanded when Hanley and Scanlon joined The Fall themselves in 1979. During the first half of the 1980s, Hanley's brother Paul was also a member of The Fall playing drums and keyboards.
Hanley left The Fall in April 1998 following an onstage altercation in New York, which also resulted in the departures of longtime drummer Karl Burns and guitarist Tommy Crooks. Smith regretted the row and asked Hanley to return, but the bassist declined.[1]
Following his departure from The Fall, Hanley formed ARK. In 2001 he joined The Lovers, a group fronted by Tom Hingley of Inspiral Carpets. Both these bands also feature Paul Hanley, Steve's brother. The Lovers have released two albums, Abba Are The Enemy, released in 2004, and Highlights which was released in March 2008. They continue to play regularly.
He was also briefly a member of fellow ex-Fall member Martin Bramah's group Factory star,[3] as was his brother Paul Hanley.
"The Big Midweek" a book chronicling Hanley's time in The Fall, written by him with Olivia Piekarski, was published by Route publishers on 15 September 2014 [4]
Personal life[edit]
Hanley has two children, Paul and Matthew. Paul is a drummer and plays in the Manchester-based rock band Cartoon Land. As of May 2015, he was a member of Brix Smith And The Extricated alongside brother Paul, Steve Trafford and Jason Brown.[5]

- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver's last 6 games when playing Baltimore
Game Overview
Baltimore took its first step towards a return trip to the AFC Championship with a solid 24-9 victory over Indianapolis as a 7.5-point home favorite in last Sunday's Wildcard Round. The problem is it now has to go on the road and get past the red-hot Broncos to get there. The Ravens stumbled down the stretch in the regular season with just one win in its last five games both straight-up and against the spread to finish 11-6 SU and 7-9-1 ATS overall. The total stayed UNDER the 47.5-point line against the Colts and it has now stayed UNDER in their last three games.
If the Ravens are going to have any shot at upending Denver it will be behind their defense and their running game. Joe Flacco threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns last week but he still only completed 52 percent of his passes. Ray Rice ran for 70 yards but it was Bernard Pierce that stole the show with 103 yards on 13 carries. Defensively, there is some concern with minor injuries to linebackers Terrell Suggs and Dannell Ellerbe. Suggs is listed as probable but Ellerbe remains questionable at this time.
The well-rested Broncos, who had a bye last week as the top seed in the AFC, remain the odds-on-favorite to win the conference at 11/10 and the Super Bowl at 11/4 on Bovada's latest futures board. Led by a resurgent Peyton Manning, the team went 13-3 SU in the regular season and 10-6 ATS. Denver is currently riding an 11-game winning streak and is 4-0 ATS in its last four games. The total has gone OVER in three of the last five games.
Manning finished the season with 4,659 passing yards and 37 touchdowns while completing 68.6 percent of his throws. Demaryius Thomas was his favorite target with 94 receptions for 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns, but Eric Decker, who also had over 1000 yards receiving this season, led the team with 13 touchdown catches. All this production on offense was backed-up by a defense that was ranked second in the NFL in total yards allowed and fourth in points allowed. With a combination like this it is easy to see why Denver is favored to win it all.
Baltimore was good enough at home to get by the Colts, but it is way over its head against the Broncos on the road. The Ravens already lost to this team 34-17 at home in Week 15 as three-point favorites and they will once again struggle to keep the score closer than 10 points this time around as well. Denver 27 Baltimore 13

Cause is just scratching the surface at Horn Lake shelter
Tammy Hall's heart for volunteering at animal shelters is enormous.
"I believe if you've got the time, you should do it," the Olive Branch resident said.
With the assistance of daughters Shaina and Alex, Hall has created a way to pitch their love to the Horn Lake Animal Shelter. Because the shelter has no spay and neuter program, the three have reached out to local businesses for a fundraising campaign, "Paws for the Cause."
Small blue Le Bistro watering containers have been decorated and transformed into donation jars with candy. Some picture dogs; others have cats.
"It's an eye-catcher," said Horn Lake office manager Ann McClain.
Animal control officer Bob Brixey has been active, as the containers are popping up around town. They've already been distributed to Horn Lake Wine & Spirits, The Groom Shoppe, Horn Lake Animal Hospital, Holland Law, Open Arms Animal Hospital, Wiseguys Chicago Pizza, Horn Lake City Hall and the animal shelter, at 6520 Center Street East.
"Guardian Award" certificates, signed by Mayor Nat Baker and Public Works director Spencer Shields, are also going out. Courtesy of The Friends of Horn Lake Animal Shelter, the certificates have been given to those donating the containers, including Coleman's Place BBQ in Olive Branch and Helena Chemical Company in Collierville.
"We're trying to give them as much recognition as we can," said Hall. "It's so important."
The money raised will go toward Horn Lake and the city's effort to apply for state or governmental funding. Shelter officials estimate that spaying and neutering is less than $100 for each animal, depending on its size and gender.
"If we can get them taken care of, taken to good homes and not have to worry about their litters coming back, it's just going to save everybody so much money," Hall said. "I'm so tired of seeing animals being put to sleep. If they're not here to start with, then we don't have to worry about that.
"The main focus is to save their lives, and I really feel like it's the responsibility of the community to embrace the shelter."

The Thing prequel couldn't twist a profit out of its attempt at a reboot. Hardcore horror fans stayed home causing the movie to earn back $27.4 million of its $38 million budget.
Have Owen Wilson, Jack Black, and Steve Martin all lost their draw as leading men? The Big Year starred the trio as competitive birdwatchers whose competition causes them to face their own failings. With a worldwide gross of $7.4 million, it's safe to say the $41 million budget will be written off as a loss. Not sure if its fair to pin this one on the leads, or the fact that the movie is about competitive birdwatching.
The combined draw of seeing Johnny Depp imitate Hunter S. Thompson, Amber Heard naked, and Aaron Eckhart's chin-butt wasn't enough to make The Rum Diary a success. To date it has earned back $21.6 million of its original $45 million.

The massive backlog in California Medicaid applications has left low-income patients "suffering" and unable to receive care, according to a lawsuit filed against the state.
Pennsylvania Auditor General to Investigate $48 Million Spent on Corbett's Medicaid Expansion Alternative
Pennsylvania officials will look into $48 million in undisclosed spending in the roll out of Healthy PA, the state's alternative to Medicaid expansion.
The policy changes proposed by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services would, among other things, increase Medicaid funding for health-care providers to provide birth control for women patients as well as vasectomies for men.
Starting on Friday, August 22, a broad coalition of faith, labor, and social justice organizations will hold events in 12 mostly Southern states with a different social justice theme every day.
In South Carolina, tens of thousands of Medicaid applications are stuck in processing backlog, leaving residents wondering whether they qualify for the government health insurance.
Danne Howard of the Alabama Hospital Association said the state's unwillingness to expand Medicaid is adding to the economic distress of its rural communities and encumbering economic development efforts.
As Democrats struggle to take back the heavily Republican-dominated state legislature, reproductive rights and health-care access are sure to play out as central issues for both Republican Gov. Rick Scott and his likely opponent Charlie Crist.
On issues of reproductive rights, the candidates do not differ substantively; both incumbent Republican Gov. Mary Fallin and Democratic nominee Rep. Joe Dorman have staunchly anti-choice voting records.
Increasing access to health insurance should not come at the expense of exploiting young and poor Americans. We need additional federal health insurance options that are supported by public officials who care about the health and prosperity of their constituents.
The report from the White House Counsel of Economic Advisers found that the failure of 24 states to expand Medicaid has serious consequences for their uninsured residents.

Why smart grid and smart water are essential to a smart city
By now, you probably know that cities all over the world are embarking on smart city initiatives. Sadly, many of them fail to understand the critical importance of energy and water infrastructure to their aspirations. The guest editorial below makes this point eloquently. Whether you are in smart grid or smart water, you'll want to make sure that the cities you serve understand these points. - Jesse Berst
By Jim Anderson and Mark Leinmiller
Urban environments are becoming more and more attractive worldwide. Spurred by the growing modernization and industrialization of rural areas, the United Nations is predicting more than 75 percent of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. With this unprecedented growth, city planners around the word need to ensure they can operate safe, sustainable and efficient cities to maintain a high quality of life for residents. And this growing urbanization has become the key driver for smart cities.
When you think of smart cities, you may think of something out of a science-fiction movie, however the term "smart cities" is trending amongst governments, urban planners and even the private sector to address the projected demands on a city's resources. Making cities smarter to support growth is emerging as a key area of focus for the public and the private sector alike. In fact, this decade, cities around the world will invest $108 billion in smart city infrastructure, such as smart meters and grids, energy-efficient buildings, and data analytics, according to Navigant Research.
Although the smart cities discussion has been dominated by the IT and software market, urban planners should be operating an infrastructure first strategy. To support a growing and aging population, the framework of the city - the electric grid, water management system, commercial buildings, traffic management systems, etc. - becomes most important. And intelligent energy use is one of the central components to achieving all of a smart city's goals.
Fortunately, companies in the energy industry are in the unique position of offering more complete solutions for the smart cities market. We've long been incorporating digital and analytics tools into solutions like the smart grid and smart buildings. Coupled with an expertise in infrastructure management, energy companies offer a bottom-up approach to allow cities to improve their critical systems and infrastructure at a fundamental level as well as integrate their systems through advanced technology. Cities can then apply advanced monitoring and analytics to continuously measure and improve performance.
Smart Energy, Smart Water?
The smart grid is seen as the true backbone of a smart and energy efficient city. It allows residents and city officials to understand their energy use and make smarter decisions going forward. However in a smart city, water systems are a little-known, but equally important piece of critical infrastructure.

Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
Hey I've used so many different video converters and it seems like none of them have all the features I want. And I mean NONE!
I'm looking for a video converter that will convert any file to MKV and KEEP original audio as well as have the ability to run a queu. With pretty much EVERY video converter they always HAVE to tamper with audio and it seems like in 2010 it's you just cannot keep 5.1 audio. What's the deal??? They always give an option for mono or stereo..As it is now if I want to convert a file I have to remux every single one with the original vob file to put 5.1 ac3 back into it.
Also it's pretty clear that FFDSHOW with the H264 codec rocks for video quality but the only program that I've found that will use it and run batch files is Riverpast Video Cleaner..but guess what...it forces to the audio to stereo MP3.
These are the video converters I've tried and the issues each one has:
1.AVS Video Converter - Forces stereo unless you encode in WMV but has no queue support. When you do select 5.1 WMA audio it ruins the subwoofer sound and makes it too loud and sloppy. Also every video I've converted in whatever codec has noticable banding no matter the bitrate.
2. Riverpast video Cleaner - Forces stereo. Can get reference quality video though using FFDSHOW and will run down a queue.
3. Xilisoft video converter - Can't get reference video quality unless insane bitrates are used. Also forces stereo and won't convert to MKV. Closest you get is MP4. Has queue support.
4. Auto GK - Has queue support. Does keep AC3 audio. But can't get reference quality video regardless of bitrate due to only supporting xvid codec or divx. (reference quality means things as fine as film grain stay intact)
5. Divx Plus Converter- Close but no cigar. Has queue support. Keeps original 5.1 audio. Uses h264 codec. However regardless of bitrate a blur filter is put on I suppose to hide problems at low bitrate, but selecting a high bitrate doesn't change the obvious use of blur. There are also almost zero options to configure. This Converter is more suited for old dvd ripped sitcoms, but a no go for movies.
There are more video converters I've tried but those aren't worth mentioning and of course they get rid of 5.1 audio.
Is there something I'm missing? Google searches turn up little because of all the "reviews" you get from vendors swearing up and down how their program does everything. I just want Queue Support, Original Ac3 Audio, and use of a good H264 or X264 codec. Is that just impossible for all these software engineers to produce?
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
TMPGEnc Xpress 4.0, it supports all you're asking for plus it has its own VFAPI frameserver so no need (theoretically) to rely on anything else, BUT to be fair, I have to say I use it to convert all my media to WMV, I don't use any other formats (not like I have anything against the other formats, just... Windows Media Player is my player of choice and I prefer to have everything in-house, to say it in a way...) except MP3 for music, and that's about it...
Why don't you get the trial? I'm sure you won't get dissapointed with it ;)
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
I mainly use Avidemux and it works great for what you are trying to do and it's free http://www.avidemux.org
Another one I use is Format Factory also free here : http://www.pcfreetime.com/
Use SUPER.
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
Thank You everyone for your these posts. I've never heard of this software. If you google these things you get bombarded with bad software.
I'll try each on of these out and report back my findings.
TMPGEnc is first up. I hope it's it. I really want a one size fits all converter so bad.
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
ok TMPMpeg- It will not output to mkv. Also it will use the ffdshowcodec for AVI files and the vid quality looks great, however sound output is limited to stereo AGAIN unless you want uncompressed PCM. WTF.
You can output to WMV but the vid quality of FFDshow is what I want and it needs to leave the audio stream alone. Also I can't get the audio to sync with the video when using FFDSHOW and the h264 codec...so it makes that program a little crippled for me.
-edit..ok changing the ffdshow settings to encode in FLV1 fixes the audio sync problem and looks identical. I'm pretty sure FLV1 is just another version of the h264 codec which explains why it looks so good. This program would be perfect now if only it kept the ac3 audio. Oh well it will work fine for TV shows.
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
FLV1 is the FourCC code for 'Flash Video' :p
Regarding multi-channel audio, ugh... tried to encode a sample video into MPEG-4 AVC and other formats and, yeah... don't know why... but it only allows for stereo encoding...
For me it works in the sense I encode everything into WMV so I can have even 7.1 (although I generally encode sound at 384Kbps with 5.1 channel encoding and 24bits for my X-Fi), but don't know how to do it for the other formats... :(
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
Oh, by the way... there's another method if you just want to keep your ac3 files... use the 'MPEG tools' button and you can do multiplexing so... as long as the video and audio are synced, it should do the trick for you (although this is just mind-guessing, don't know if it will work as-is).
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
hmm I did a sample with wmv and it did look pretty good. I encode dvds at a 3000 bitrate just to make sure they look the same and I just encoded a movie at 2000 1 pass and it looked just like the source I used.
Maybe I should switch to WMV and save all the headaches..
Gotta see how tv shows look now if I put them at a low bitrate. I don't like tv shows to be higher than 175megs a piece. If they can look good at that size then I'm done.
-edit..ok wmv takes more space than h264 codec. Even at the same bitrate...doesn't make sense. h264 also still looks better at low bitrates. I'll use it for tv. Surround doesn't matter a whole lot there.
For dvd movies I'll use the bigger wmv vidz with 2 pass encoding just to save the trouble of remuxing 5.1 audio. I've got 4tb of space and counting so it doesn't really matter. It just needs to play well and look good in XBMC.
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
Have you tried using Handbreak at all http://handbrake.fr/
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
I was thinking virtualDub or TMPGenc for demuxing and MKVtoolnix for muxing into MKV
Re: Video Converter that uses FFDSHOW and keeps AC3 and does Batch
I'd also suggest handbrake as it has worked well for me in the past. it uses x264 rather than FFDShow and should look as good as if not better. The hardest thing for me was finding a program that would keep the audio and video in sync. Handbrake seemed to be good at that. (Better than MeGui)
Also you don't have to use an mkv container either if you can find another container that will keep your audio intact. I think you can use an mp4 container with ac3 audio and h.264 video.

I know what you are thinking, aren't we all balaboosta? Or maybe you are thinking I am in a no way a balaboosta or what is a balaboosta? A balaboosta is the Yiddish term for the perfect housewife. The dream of little girls long ago was to be a balaboosta just like their mothers.
Some of that changed with the feminist movement, but just as women have evolved, Einat Admony believes that the term "balaboosta" is to be embraced not embarrassed. A twenty-first century balaboosta navigates the pitfalls of life with courageous heart, a head filled with determination, and a spirit of risk and adventure. The modern balaboosta can be anyone, young or old, male or female, religious or not who lives with gusto, shuns fear and relies on instinct over precision.

Thai PM given more time to defend rice scheme charges
Published on Mar 13, 2014 6:50 PM
BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand's National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) on Thursday gave Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra more time to defend herself against charges of negligence over a ruinous rice subsidy scheme, allegations that could bring her down.
Ms Yingluck, weakened by four months of street protests, has been given until March 29 to defend herself, pushed back from Friday, March 14.
Thailand's long-running political crisis broadly pits Bangkok's middle class and elite plus some southerners against the mostly rural backers of Ms Yingluck and her brother, ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, from the north and northeast.
Thaksin lives overseas to avoid a two-year jail term handed down for graft but is seen as the power behind Ms Yingluck.

I searched for this on the forums and overall google search and have found nothing. Maybe someone here can help me out.
Whenever we have bad weather and lose our satellite signal (mostly snow but also some heavy rains), the "My Media" button disappears from the Dish Menu. I have a 1TB external hard drive with over 150 movies stored on it, and it seems ridiculous that whenever we lose our signal we also lose access to our movie collection. Anyone ever seen this issue before? Recently I just got connected to broadband too and downloaded a free movie, which is stored in the "My Rentals" area. Now this doesn't disappear when we lose our signal, but when we try to play it back when our signal is lost, we just get a black screen. Any ideas? I can't believe things would be designed this way so my conclusion is that something is not configured properly in my receiver.

I can only somewhat give an answer because I don't have a 622 receiver. But on other receivers losing the Dish signal does not take away the use of the external hard drive unless there has not been a signal for long time, as in days.
Is the hard drive plugged in at the time the satellite signal is lost or do you plug it in after losing the satellite signal?

Planting zones remapping won't affect Big Country much, ag observers say
A remapping of planting zones across the country in response to gradual warming over two decades will make little difference to agriculture and horticulture in the Big Country, observers say.
Adequate rainfall, always an iffy prospect in West Texas, is "far more important than what global warming is going to do," said Greg Gruben, Scurry County agricultural extension agent.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which rolled out its new planting zone map Wednesday, pointed to the gradual northern migration of some species. As the soil and air warms a little earlier in the spring, the possibility of earlier planting also looms.
But Gruben said the calendar date is not uppermost in cotton growers' minds, although it is essential not to plant too early.
"That seed costs so much that they're going to make pretty darn sure it's OK to plant," Gruben said.
But since soil moisture is absolutely critical, farmers wait for that necessary rainfall until the approach of the deadline to plant under crop insurance rules, he said.
An early planting with adequate soil moisture and warmth enables farmers to get their crops out of the field earlier, although cotton still requires the ample heat that summer brings to thrive, he said.
For vegetable and fruit seed producers that print planting advice on seed packets, the USDA announcement came too late to change the information.
This makes little difference for Jackson Brothers Feed and Seed, office manager Amanda Hatchett said.
"We've never given advice based on information on the back of seed packets," Hatchett said.
One reason is that this area's peculiar climate doesn't exactly fit the mold put forth on the seed packet, she said.
"It's pretty extreme year to year," Hatchett said of Big Country weather. The low humidity here makes for a difficult life for plants that thrive in College Station, where she and her husband studied, she said.
Jackson Brothers advises customers based on common sense and "what we've learned" over the years, she said.
"We're not going to tell (customers) anything different" based on the new map, said Todd Hooper of Garden World.
"It's a five-degree difference, so it's not much, Hooper said of the expected extreme lows for Abilene during the winter, which are 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the new map, Abilene lies in Zone 8A, whereas it was in 7B under the old map, Hooper said.
The gradual warming might make a difference for some plants that had been borderline for this area, Hooper said.
For many plants, mid- to late-March planting is still the best strategy for dodging "weird weather," he said.
Gruben said that extreme cold is not a thing of the past, as evidenced by the long freeze of last February that, among other things, closed many area schools for a few days.
He was attending the Fort Worth Fat livestock show at the time, he said.
"We like to have frozen to death," he said.
The new guide was the USDA's first revision of planting zones since 1990 for the nation's 80 million gardeners, and much has changed. Nearly entire states, such as Ohio, Nebraska and Texas, are in warmer zones.
The new guide was unveiled Wednesday at the National Arboretum.
It reflects a new reality: The coldest day of the year isn't as cold as it used to be, so some plants and trees can now survive farther north.
"People who grow plants are well aware of the fact that temperatures have gotten more mild throughout the year, particularly in the wintertime," said Boston University biology professor Richard Primack. "There's a lot of things you can grow now that you couldn't grow before."
The new guide also uses better weather data and offers more interactive technology. For example, gardeners using the online version — planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb — can enter their ZIP code and get the exact average coldest temperature.
Also, for the first time, calculations include more detailed factors such as prevailing winds, the presence of nearby bodies of water, the slope of the land, and the fact cities are hotter than suburbs and rural areas.
The map carves up the U.S. into 26 zones based on five-degree temperature increments. The old 1990 map mentions 34 U.S. cities in its key. On the 2012 map, 18 of those — including Honolulu, St. Louis, Des Moines, Iowa, St. Paul, Minn., and even Fairbanks, Alaska — are in newer, warmer zones.
Those differences matter in deciding what to plant.
"It is great that the federal government is catching up with what the plants themselves have known for years now: The globe is warming and it is greatly influencing plants (and animals)," Stanford University biology professor Terry Root wrote in an email. "Climate change, which has been in the air for a long time, is not big news to gardeners," he said.
Mark Kaplan, a New York meteorologist who helped create the 1990 map, said the latest version clearly shows warmer zones migrating north. Other experts agreed.The 1990 map was based on temperatures from 1974 to 1986, and the new map from 1976 to 2005. The nation's average temperature from 1976 to 2005 was two-thirds of a degree higher than it was during the old time period, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
USDA spokeswoman Kim Kaplan, who was part of the map team, repeatedly tried to distance the new zones on the map from global warming. She said that while much of the country is in warmer zones, the map "is simply not a good instrument" to demonstrate climate change because it is based on just the coldest days of the year.
David W. Wolfe, a professor of plant and soil ecology at Cornell University, said that the USDA is being too cautious and that the map plainly reflects warming.
The revised map "gives us a clear picture of the 'new normal' and will be an essential tool for gardeners, farmers and natural resource managers as they begin to cope with rapid climate change," Wolfe said in an email.
The Arbor Day Foundation issued its own hardiness guide six years ago, and the new government map is very similar, said Woodrow Nelson, a vice president of the foundation.

Video: Human Spark
THE HUMAN SPARK explores one central question: what makes humans unique? Three and a half billion years of evolution have produced uncountable billions of living species. But only one -- humans -- can think in symbols; recombine those symbols into infinite meanings; invent a technology to disseminate the message; worry how others might react to it; ponder the past; speculate about the future; and imagine the unknown. This three-part series is hosted by actor, author and science buff Alan Alda. He travels the world and speaks to a wide variety of experts who share their original thoughts about our most human characteristics. Along the way, Alda forms his own intriguing personal view of what our spark is and where it lies.

Just a brief look at what it was like my first day in game:
"Computer, begin recording...."
"Personal Log, Lt. Cornelius Rayburn reporting."
"I've just spent my first official day aboard the UAS Intrepid and I think most of the crew could tell I was new blood!
It all started yesterday morning when I stopped into the Starfleet recruitment center for my physical and preliminary screening. After a couple of hours, I was informed that my application was processed and approved and that I had cleared my physical and was officially ready to begin training. Right off the bat the nerves flew as I was trying to make sense of everything, luckily the personnel at the training academy were very helpful for preparing me for what I probably will be seeing in the my first assignment. After a lengthy day of simulations and reading, I received my first official orders from a Rear Admiral Rend, informing me I had been assigned to the 2nd fleet under his command. If I was nervous before, it certainly paled in comparison to the reality that I was about to be putting my training to real use. I can't even remember the response I sent the Admiral when I received the orders, I just hope I didn't say anything to stupid in my first response!
I made my way to the main starfleet building and took a brief tour, brief because within the hour I ran into an intrepid crewmember who had asked whether I was assigned to the Intrepid as well... I think his name was Ensign Kar. I told him I wasn't quite sure, and that I had received a notice that I was assigned to the 2nd fleet. He laughed and told me that the Intrepid was a 2nd fleet vessel. Moments later, Lt. Commander Harper teleported down to apparently bring both of us aboard the Intrepid for assignment. All 3 of us proceeded outside where we teleported aboard the intrepid.
The simulations just don't do the Intrepid justice... the ship is MASSIVE and I felt like a rat trying to navigate a maze at first. Ensign Kar asked permission to return to his quarters, which was granted, and he departed for the evening. Lt. Commander Harper gave me a quick tour of the transporter area and had me secure my batteries, comm device, and scanner from the storage locker. I was then led by Lt. Commander Harper to what would soon become my new quarters here on Deck 8, Room 03. After securing the doors with my own security code, how humiliating would it be to forget it and lock myself out one day, Lt. Commander Harper was nice enough to give me a tour of the intrepid, covering engineering, security, the mess hall, the gym, sickbay, the science labs, the senior officer mess hall, and finally the bridge. I won't lie, I wasn't able to take in the sights too much as I was more worried about remembering deck numbers and sections! At the end of the tour, I asked for permission to return to my quarters, which was granted. On the way down, I managed to find my quarters in under 10 minutes, a feat I was proud of given my small time onboard. I turned in for the evening, eager to start my first official tour of duty.
The time arrived this morning for my first shift, I wasn't exactly sure where to begin so I thought I'd start the day in engineering trying to familiarize myself with the systems for when I begin console training. Unfortunately the engineering doors were locked on deck 11, so I decided instead to take a look at what was on the lower deck. I went to deck 16 and noticed one of the shield generators that was online. I thought it might be a good time to test my basic engineering skills to try to diagnose the current status of the generator. To my surprise, I saw it operating at 117% efficiency, and I wasn't quite sure if that was due to my intervention or if it had been that way. Not trusting my readings, I headed to the bridge to inform one of the officer's onduty of my findings. At present, there were no personnel available, so I headed to the engineering station where I ran an internal scan of all ship systems. Everything registered at 120% except for the ASG-K generator which was at about 118%. I plan to file this observation in my action report to inform the command staff. Upon confirmation, I continued a tour of the ship and noticed that the energency bridge door was unlocked. I wasn't quite sure if it should be, so this will be in the report as well. I finally headed to sickbay, my new home away from home, as I began to scan through the storage lockers and ensure that everything was well stocked. I didn't have much luck with my duty uniform yet, but I will try to get that situated as soon as possible. I finally headed to the gym to keep up on my cardiovascular strength before heading back to my quarters."
"So far, it's been an interesting first day!"
"Computer, end log."

"We are unbelievably faithful to the stories that kids have written," says Story Pirate CEO Benjamin Salka. "We don't embellish by introducing new story elements because we think it might funnier."
In one story, the writer wishes on a shooting star that she might become president. The next morning, she wakes up and—poof—she's a candidate. Her first campaign stop: Florida (smart kid). With a little help from family and friends, she wins the election, "solves the war," and learns that "things don't turn out the way you think they are going to turn out."
In another story, two monsters from Gooeyville and their friend, a frog from the swamp, set out on a road trip to find Barack Obama the perfect inaugural gift. A lava lamp, a McDonald's toy, and a mirror are all considered. But after running out of gas, meeting a ten-legged horse, stealing a French lady's purse, and escaping from the cops, they end up in Nebraska with a book from a French store. They manage to keep it slime-free.
When they present the gift to Obama, he responds: "That's half-weird and half-nice."
"We're really careful to not talk about a story being better or the best," Salka says. "This is not a writing contest. Every kid has a story to tell."
