Crossing Bryn Mawr
Directed by Adrienne Mackey
Friday-Sunday, Thursday-Saturday, April 10-12, 16-18
Hepburn Teaching Theater, Goodhart Hall
In Crossing Bryn Mawr the audience is invited to
imagine the experience of a single student from orientation to
graduation transformed into a fairy tale fable. Using the inspiration
of the hero's journey in which a protagonist sets out on a fantastic
adventure to overcome a series of obstacles in order to bring back a
treasure to their homeland, this story follows the course of a young
woman as she sets out in search of knowledge she believes will unlock
the future and eventually returns four years as a richer, wiser, and
changed person.

That's great they published it on both, I guess it's a way to have a full magazine and not have to worry about two versions?
IT's funny in one article the guy says fighting in vale tudo made him understand the efficiency of JJ, but the translation said fighting in MMA, I wonder if he really meant using VT made him realize JJ had more to offer etc?

Steven asks…
How do I get my parents to stop buying and force feeding me fattening foods?
So this year I started college at about 5'9″ and 135 pounds, pretty healthy. Then from partying too much I gained about 5 pounds, but was still a healthy weight at 142 pounds. I decided I wasn't happy with my weight anymore, and went on a crash diet of sugar free jello, almonds, light soups, and salads. By the end of February, I was down to 130 pounds again. I kept on the diet and excercised 1 hour 5 times a week. I got down to 118 pounds about two weeks ago.
I loveeeee being thin. I feel happier, sexier, and healthier. Lately i've been eating an apple and peanut butter for breakfast, fish for lunch, and a soup or salad with a slice of wheat bread for dinner. I know i'm a bit anorexic, but I plan on gaining five pounds when I come back from the beach in two weeks.
Problem is, I just moved home this weekend. My parents eat HORRIBLY and I'm afraid of becoming overweight like them. I beg them to buy healthy foods, but they only come home with ice cream, pop tarts, nutella, and chips. They keep force feeding me these fattening foods. I feel more groggy, bloated, and just plain ugly. I know i'm gonna gain weight all the back I lost if they don't stop.
How can I stop binging when i'm at home? And how can I get my parents to stop buying and trying to force feed me these fattening foods?
I have two jobs. And I do buy some of my own foods, like apples, cans of tuna, salad, etc.
But my parents make me eat their food
: ( How can I get them to stop from doing that?
admin answers:
Get a job and buy your own food
Robert asks…
How do I resist fattening foods when family loves them?
So I am pretty overweight and I want to lose a bunch of weight but my family, who are all very thin, love fatty foods i.e. pizza, steak, and fries. While they can eat all that and not gain weight I am very different. They say they don't want to be in food jail just because I need to lose some weight. How can I resist these yummy foods…anyone have a recipe for something good AND healthy?
admin answers:
You can eat these foods in moderation.
Have friends over for dinner. I find having friends around to converse with, I don't eat as much as I would alone.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
Don't completely deprive yourself. Give in once in a while!
Sandra asks…
Is cheese healthy for weight gain?
Hello, I'm an 18 year old girl trying to gain weight almost 100% healthily. I know cheese is very fattening, but it is unhealthy for weight gain? Would half a cup of organic cheese with tomatoes, onions, and a spelt flour tortilla be a good idea as a snack? it's around 400 calories.
I don't want to eat foods that are going to hurt my body while making me fatter. Thank you!
admin answers:
Yes, unless its over diet.
Michael asks…
What are some of the healthy and non-fattening food I can eat after yoga?
I do around 4 times of yoga a week, and I do yoga right after I get out of bed, and I always do yoga with an empty stomach.
My question is, I always get very hungry after doing yoga (of course right, I didn't even have breakfast yet), but I don't want to have a big meal after a good 1 1/2 hour of workout. What are some of the healthy and non-fattening foods I can eat after yoga?
I'm 25 female, 5'2 and around 90-95lbs, and I'm hoping to tone my muscles and not gain any weight (hopefully lose a few pounds). Thanks!
admin answers:
Great. Yoga is very good for you. Keep up the good work.
The best way to satisfy your hunger is to eat small meals. Proteins are great because the keep you fuller for a longer period.
So the best meal would be some cooked(fried or boiled) egg white, or some baked chicken and bread.
If you are a veg then try some nuts, milk and bread. You could also eat a salad with a non fat dressing on it.
All these are good and healthy. Remember never go hungry for long, it will hurt you.
Mary asks…
How do I gain weight in a healthy way?
Recently I lost a lot of weight and now I am underweight. When I was losing weight, I decreased my caloric intake. My doctor told me to try and enrich my diet and have an odwalla as an afternoon snack everyday to make sure I am getting more calories. I have been eating a lot more and a lot more fattening foods (potatoes, meat, etc.), but I haven't noticed much weight gain. I find it very difficult to gain weight. How can I gain weight in a healthy way where I don't feel like I am overeating? And what about days that I exercise and burn calories? Thank you so much for any help.
admin answers:
I know how frustrating it can be to try to consume more high calorie foods to gain weight but end up failing. I believe in your case you may not know exactly how much you're eating since you haven't told me what foods you've written down throughout the entire day. I believe if you follow these tips mentioned below you will start to notice yourself gaining weight. Take notice of the first tip as this maybe what you're missing.
Write Up A Weight Gain Plan – Firstly you'll need to write up a plan detailing exactly what needs to be done to gain weight. Your plan should include how much weight you would like to gain, a deadline to reinforce the urgency to reach your goal, what foods to consume and which exercises to use.
Eat Smaller Meals Frequently – In order to consume more food you'll have to eat smaller but more frequent meals throughout the day. So that means instead of 3 large meals per day, you'll consume 6 smaller meals throughout the day. Foods to consume include brown rice, whole grain bread, pasta, beef, chicken, full-cream milk, high calorie fruits and vegetables. Benefits of eating smaller meals frequently include more energy, greater chance of gaining weight and satiety.
Use Resistance Exercises – Not only will you need to eat more food you'll also need to do resistance exercises to gain weight. These exercises include push ups, pull ups, chin ups, dips and squats. If you have access to the gym you should consider doing deadlifts, barbell and dumbbell squats, barbell bench press and dumbbell bench press. These exercises are one of the best for building muscle and gaining weight.
Within a few months you'll not only gain a considerable amount of weight, you'll also change the way your body looks, rounder curves and more feminine looking.

On my hotel dining reviews in Kuala Lumpur, I have checked out several dining outlets in Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and one of them was Med.@Marche-Live. The open concept restaurant offers a relaxed and casual dining atmosphere, with air-conditioned dining room and great terrace sitting.
These days, the restaurant brings a new dining experience to diners with the presence of Australian Paul Lewis as the Executive Sous Chef. He took over the kitchen this year and has since made his debut in the MIGF 2010.

Now Bostoners Will Have More To Do Than Run Marathons
I have never lived in the East Coast, because I actually enjoy doing things outside and am not a huge fan of that rash long underwear gives you when you wear it for six months straight. As a golf fan, I've always found it interesting that people can live in a place that doesn't allow you to tee it up for months.
Well, people in Boston can rejoice, because TaylorMade is opening a Performance Lab in their area to allow them to get fit and ready for when the snow melts.
TaylorMade Performance Labs, the premier custom golf club fitting company, announced the opening of its sixth U.S. location at The International in Boston. Beginning April 27, TaylorMade Performance Lab's certified professionals will fit men, women and junior golfers of all ages and abilities to a custom set of TaylorMade® golf clubs using an exclusive technology previously available only to Tour professionals, called Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade (MAT-T).
To date, TaylorMade Performance Labs has six U.S. locations including The International: The Four Seasons Resort in North San Diego, The Desert Springs Marriott in Palm Springs, The Hyatt Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando, Olympia Fields Country Club in Chicago and Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, GA. There are also three international locations in South Africa, Spain and Dubai.
I would have to say, if I could pick a place to get fit, it would totally be the location in Spain. I wonder if Sergio Garcia has ever been to it. He probably did, but complained about the greens. Zing!

iliocostalis muscle (anatomy)
You have 3 open access pages left.UK healthcare workers and students can get FREE subscriptions... click here.
The iliocostalis muscle is one of the erector spinae group of the back. It runs from the iliac crest to the ribs. Classically, it is divided into three parts with differing origins and insertions:
Iliocostalis is the most lateral of the three parts of erector spinae. It forms part of the intermediate layer of intrinsic back muscles.
In concert with the other erector spinae muscles, its unilateral action is to laterally flex the spine; bilaterally, it extends the spine.
It is innervated by the dorsal primary rami of the segmental spinal nerves.

A balloon crash into a power line at Comanche and I-25 caused a brief power outage Wednesday, and at least two other balloons reported trouble landing.
APD and AFD responded to a balloon crash into a power line near Comanche and I-25 early Wednesday. That balloon, which crashed at Alexander and Carmony NE, was released from the line and no one was injured. About 2,200 customers were briefly without power.
Later Wednesday, a second balloon hit a light pole at San Mateo and Balloon Fiesta Park. Police said there were no injuries and no power lines were affected.
In Sandoval County, at 528 and Idalia, some people fell out of a gondola as a balloon was landing.

Research Interests
My research interest is the study of the interaction of phytoplankton
organisms with their geochemical environment. I examine the factors
determining their growth and the strategies allowing them to adapt to
different environmental conditions. I am also interested in
understanding the factors driving phytoplankton niche differentiation
in the ocean. Exploring the physiological ecology and biogeography of
present phytoplankton communities is crucial to better understand the
response of these communities to future global change scenarios. My
current perspective involves the combination of both physiological and
molecular techniques to investigate phytoplankton nutrient physiology
in field communities, with a special attention to phosphorus and
nitrogen metabolism. I am also particularly interested in ocean
acidification studies. I received a Veterinary B.S. degree from the
University Complutense of Madrid (UCM), Spain, in 2006. I started
exploring the aquatic world and phytoplankton organisms during my
Ph.D. studies which I performed also at the UCM. During my PhD I
focused on investigating the effect of different environmental
parameters on phytoplankton physiology and evolution. I developed
different research projects at the Institute of Marine Science of
Andalucía, Spain, and at the National Oceanographic Center of
Southampton, UK. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution and LDEO where I study the
physiological ecology of Trichodesmium sp. populations in the ocean.

Director John McTiernan Is Headed To Prison
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Director John McTiernan–most famously known for directing the movie 'Die Hard'– has been sentenced to one year in prison for lying to the FBI during its investigation of the wiretapping scandal surrounding former LA private investigator Anthony Pellicano.
The Supreme Court denied McTiernan's request to reverse his guilty plea and suppress a recording of him speaking on Pellicano's use of an illegal wiretap.
McTiernan hired Pellicano back in 2002 to investigate producer Chuck Roven, with whom he was collaborating with on the remake of Rollerball.
So where's Pellicano? He's already in prison…serving a 15-year sentence for wiretapping, harassment, identity theft, and racketeering. Yikes.
McTiernan should be headed to incarceration soon – but another lawyer has stated that there's a small chance this could be delayed as there's still a motion which could 'reduce or get rid of the sentence altogether on the grounds that there may be no substantial proof that Pellicano ever wiretapped Roven in the first place.'
However this is highly doubtful, as McTiernan's sentence is for lying to the FBI, which he did.
Should McTiernan's incarceration go on as sentenced, he will serve a year in prison before being released under supervision for three years.
He will also have to pay a fine of $100,000.

Two From WVSU Honored With Civil Rights Day AwardCHARLESTON, W.Va. – Dr. Robert L. Harrison, dean of the College of Professional Studies at West Virginia State University (WVSU), has been honored with a 2013 Governor's Civil Rights Day Award.
Harrison was recognized today at the West Virginia Culture Center at the Governor's 10th Annual Civil Rights Day awards ceremony. Also recognized was Christopher Jackson, interim program coordinator of the Wilson University Union at WVSU.
"I am deeply honored and humbled to be receiving this award," Harrison said. "My dad often said that I will always look out for a person just needing a chance. This award affirms what my father said."

WVSU was one of only 38 institutions selected for the Network, whose purpose was to increase reading achievement of minority and high poverty students in the public school system.
Prior to joining the WVSU faculty in 2002, Harrison worked for 12 years at the W.Va. Department of Education. From 1968-1988, he was employed as a teacher at Bluefield High School and Central Junior High School where he taught English, journalism, and reading, For 10 years he coordinated the Black History Month Activities for Bluefield High School.
Jackson is a WVSU graduate and has worked for the University in a variety of areas including as interim director of continuing education and interim director of recruitment.
A native of Institute, Jackson is also an active member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
For 2013, the Governor's Civil Rights Day Theme was "Advancing Civil Rights Through Advocacy." In all, 24 individuals and organizations were honored at today's awards ceremony.
The annual Civil Rights Day Awards Luncheon is sponsored by the Office of the Governor, the Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs, the W.Va. Division of Culture and History, Charleston Job Corps and the W.Va. Human Rights Commission.

Rich appointments in deep wood, marble, leather and textiles complement the tonal shades of beige, brown and black which encompass the elegant, modern restaurant. Geometric, diamond patterned wall panels (created by Zana) and exposed masonry share this same serene color palette, enhancing the airy space.
One point of distinction is the shelving by Pierre Bonnefille which was specifically built to effectively display an array of fine art and objects from the continuing auctions, creating an interchangeable exhibition space for diners.
Natural light cascades through the pitched skylight roof and vast, classic windows with black wood frames, while chained pendants of vintage glass globes and oversized bubble-shaped wall sconces by Luigi Caccia Dominioni for Azucena contribute a warm glow as evening falls. The matte black leather banquettes, marble-topped tables and chairs were custom-made by Zana, whose inspiration was derived from the designs of Gio Ponti and Ettore Sottsass. A Carrara marble bar dominates the space, and transitions the adjacent dining room which overlooks the surrounding private gardens.
The fresh, sophisticated interiors of Cafe Artcurial by Charles Zana magnificently blend contemporary design with historical beauty and intrigue.

The Baltimore Orioles came to the winter meetings with an agenda and had one of the best weeks of any team in baseball.
Baltimore couldn't lure top free agents such as first baseman Paul Konerko and third baseman Adrian Beltre, but it acquired third baseman Mark Reynolds from the Arizona Diamondbacks and shortstop J.J. Hardy from the Minnesota Twins in an effort to rebuild the left side of its infield with power hitters. The veterans should help ease the pressure on youngsters Matt Wieters and Adam Jones. The Orioles also re-signed reliever Koji Uehara.
And that wasn't the end of the roster overhaul, as Baltimore added DH Vladimir Guerrero, first baseman Derrek Lee, closer candidate Kevin Gregg and righthander Justin Duschscherer later in the offseason.
But as impressive as Baltimore's offseason was, the team still plays in a division with the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox, who added superstars Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez at the winter meetings.
"It is what it is," Orioles president Andy MacPhail says. "You'd love to be able to play in that ballpark where teams like (the Yankees and Red Sox) play, but for now this is who we are. And we're not focused on what those other teams are doing. We're focused on what we need to do to get better for the long term and build on the way we finished the 2010 season."
After Buck Showalter took over as manager, Baltimore went 34-23. Much of the second-half success came from the production of young starting pitchers Brian Matusz, Chris Tillman, Brad Bergesen and Jake Arrieta. Baltimore's future will depend on how well and how quickly the young pitching staff develops, but the offensive upgrades will help.
"We don't have a corner on the offense in the American League East, but it was pretty obvious that we had to improve offensively," Showalter says. "At the end of the day, I feel we are a better offensive club."
Reynolds has struck out at least 200 times in each of the past three seasons. Competing against the Yankees', Red Sox's, Rays' and Blue Jays' staffs won't help, but Reynolds' power (32 homers in 2010) should offset a high strikeout rate.
Wieters, Jones and Nick Markakis all had productive 2009 seasons but regressed last season. Baltimore hopes the additions of Reynolds and Guerrero will deepen the lineup and allow the youngsters to develop without pressure to carry the offense.
Baltimore's other offseason priority was the bullpen, as evidenced by bringing back Uehara and signing Gregg. The organization hopes a reliable, veteran relief corps will help the young starting rotation. "I think it's important to those guys' development that we have people who can protect their leads," Showalter says.
Showalter, who earned a reputation for developing rookies into championship-caliber players while with the Yankees and Diamondbacks, was hired to protect the Orioles' young talent. That includes Matusz, Tillman, Arrieta, Bergesen and Zach Britton. But it could be years before these pitchers' potential is mined, meaning Orioles fans will be left to watch a painful transition that could include several more poor finishes in the A.L. East. If the budding talent is groomed correctly, however, Baltimore could challenge for a division title in the near future.

By Marine Corps Cpl. Garry J. Welch31st Marine Expeditionary Unit
ABOARD USS ESSEX AT SEA, March 22, 2012 Every Marine and sailor aboard the USS Essex serves a crucial role in the success of the mission, but Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Samantha A. Sabalboro serves two.
Sabalboro, an airframe mechanic with Marine Attack Squadron 311, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, was assigned to assist the master at arms in maintaining safety and good order for the more than 2,000 service members on ship.
Her responsibilities require an eight-hour shift every day, which normally is followed by rest and relaxation. But Sabalboro ends her day shift by donning her maintenance gear and making her way toward the AV-8B Harriers she is trained to maintain.
The 21-year-old native of Norfolk Va., said she enjoys the work, the chance to meet new people and the opportunity to gain valuable experience outside of her normal specialty.
"Doing both jobs is not challenging for me. I like to stay busy," said Sabalboro. "Working as a patrolman helps me gain more confidence in the way that I talk and take charge of something."
During a normal day, if Sabalboro is not working with the master at arms office, she spends 10 to 12 hours servicing AV-8B Harrier airframes, repairing the body, landing gear and other vital parts.
Although fairly new to the job, Sabalboro still knows just how important her job is to pilot safety and mission completion.
"If we failed to install a panel correctly, then it could potentially fall off midflight and injure somebody on the ground, or get sucked into the intake of the engine and bring the entire plane down," Sabalboro said. "If we didn't fix the landing gear right, then it may not come out when it needs to, and the plane would crash when it landed."
While working as a patrolman, Sabalboro spends helps the master at arms office with administrative work or patrols the ship looking for safety issues and activities contrary to Navy and Marine Corps regulations.
"She does an excellent job here. She is always on time and comes in with a good attitude," said Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Carlos L. Jones, anti-terrorism training supervisor with Amphibious Squadron 11. "I usually see her back in her shop wearing her coveralls working after she leaves here, so she definitely keeps herself busy."
Many Marines help the master at arms office with policing the crew, and their involvement is paramount to the completion of the Navy's military police mission.
"I think that without the Marines' support, we wouldn't be able to do our job," said Navy Lt. j.g. Antonio Williams, the USS Essex security officer. "With more than 2,000 people on board, with just the guys I have, we wouldn't be able to maintain law and order here. So their augmentation is definitely a huge benefit to us."
Sabalboro even helped the 31st MEU complete its certification exercise. Acting as a part of the master at arms clearing team, she helped to ensure the route from the flight deck to the brig was clear when mock enemy prisoners of war were brought aboard.
"Overall, she is doing pretty well. She is filling two billets and still progressing in both of them," said Marine Corps Staff Sgt. David Camacho, an aircraft division chief with Marine Attack Squadron 311 and a native of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Sabalboro is said she eager to continue working as a patrolman and airframe mechanic throughout the 31st MEU's deployment to the Asia-Pacific region.

It's time once again for the annual Canucks roster quiz, which tests your ability to remember of each and every guy that played at least one game for the Vancouver Canucks during the most recent regular season.
This year's quiz, which features 35 names, isn't as difficult as last year's, which called for you to remember 39 players, several of whom were fourth liners and depth defencemen from the team's mid-season injury rash. But it's still difficult. The 2011-12 campaign wasn't that long ago, but I suspect you'll forget a few names, both because several of these players were forgettable and because Canuck fans are famously, staggeringly, and lovably short-sighted.
Anyway. Good luck.
Helpful hints: the roster is alphabetical. You only have to enter last names. One of the Canucks has a twin.Continue Reading —›

Erstwhile Unreal Columnist Wants Back on School Board
Filing begins tomorrow for the Elected School Board of the St. Louis Public Schools, and guess who plans to be first in line?
St. Louis' evergreen political candidate, Mr. William "Bill" Haas.
Although he's got degrees from Yale and Harvard, Haas has yet to join his Ivy League brethren in the chambers of truly elite politics, most recently bowing to Todd Akin in the 2nd Congressional District match-up.
The SLPS School Board, on the other hand? No problem.
Haas served on the elected board back when it actually had power. These days the state-appointed Special Administrative Board is in charge. Why anybody would run for a board with no cojones....you got us.
But Haas has always had huevos, as regular readers of Unreal well know. Back in 2004, he was our very own Unreal celebrity advice columnist for a time, doling out tips on dating, heartbreak, anal sex...
The column -- "Bill me!" -- only ran for a couple months, though we look back fondly on the time when the school board had a voice.Photo: www.votebillhaas.com

Method and apparatus for measuring the alertness level of the flight crew of an aircraft and raising it when necessary. The system also detects departures from the planned flight profile and provides aural warning.
1. A method of flight crew response monitoring for an aircraft comprising triggering a flight crew response alert when no flight crew action has been detected by the FMC within a predetermined time period and the aircraft position passes an FMC computed optimum vertical profile derived top of descent location.
2. The invention according to claim 1 wherein said 5 predetermined time period is about ten minutes.
This application is a continuation in part of Ser. No. 203,367, filed Jun. 7, 1988, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to monitors, and more particularly, to a flight crew response monitor for detecting an inattentive aircraft flight crew and raising their alertness level when required.
Long range flights involve hours of low crew activity during the cruise phase. With modern navigation and flight management systems, the crew role becomes one of monitoring progress and making position reports when crossing preestablished reporting points. The resulting boredom coupled with good equipment reliability can undermine the crew's attentiveness to flight status and progress. Furthermore, crew scheduling unavoidably exposes many crews to the adverse physiological effects of jet lag. Consequently, at least one pilot will often fall asleep during a long cruise segment, particularly when flying into the sun. In spite of his best effort to stay awake, it is suspected that a second pilot will occasionally doze off as well. This can result in a reporting point being missed or overshooting the point at which the descent should be initiated (top of descent) with the flight management system functioning normally. More importantly, a subtle equipment failure going undetected can result in wandering off course, departing the assigned altitude or upsetting airplane attitude to the point of requiring a dive recovery.
Although modern aircraft have crew alerting systems which provide prioritized alerts to the crew of detected failures, they do not detect all causes of departure from the planned flight profile. Even detected and annunciated failures may not be caught by an inattentive crew until the situation has substantially deteriorated. It has been recognized for some time that the solution lies in being able to measure the level of crew alertness and raise it when necessary.
Proposed solutions have ranged from a timer generated alarm to random questions on a display which require the pilot to respond, even though he may be busy doing something else. They have the shortcoming that they would very likely become an aggravation to an alert crewman. Nor do they alert the crew to a gradual departure from the programmed flight profile.
Prior art patent literature has included U.S. Pat. No. 3,312,508 to Keller et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,922,665 to Curry et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,679,648 to Johansen which require a special physical response (pushing of button) from the operator to avoid an alert. In contrast, the present system normally requires no special response from an active crew to avoid an alert. In addition, these patents do not address the problem of drawing attention to subtle failures which an inattentive crew might not detect in a timely manner. Also the patent literature has included U.S. Pat. No. 3,925,751 to Bateman et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 3,947,809 to Bateman which relate to deviations from glideslope path not addressed by the present system.
A first object of the present invention is to provide flight crew response monitoring which is invisible to the active crew.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide flight crew response monitoring which is inhibited except during cruise segments.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide monitoring of autoflight performance when engaged.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a monitoring system which monitors crew attentiveness at top of descent.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a system which detects departures from the programmed profile and provides immediate warning to the crew.
It is another object of the present invention to provide monitoring beginning with an unobtrusive message and escalating to a wake-up warning if necessary when dual pilot inattentiveness is detected.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is provided a method for measuring the alertness level of the flight crew of an aircraft and raising it when necessary. Additionally, the present system utilizes detection of departures from the planned flight profile and generates graduated level warnings to the crew.
FIG. is a block diagram and schematic showing the present Flight Crew Response Monitor (FCRM) which utilizes Flight Management Computer (FMC) systems;
FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the overall processing logic utilized during flight of the aircraft;
FIG. 3 is a flow chart schematically showing operation of the flight crew response monitor logic during route deviation;
FIG. 4 is a flow chart schematically showing the operations of the profile deviation monitor logic utilized during cruise when engaged in the FMC vertical navigation mode (VNAV);
FIG. 5 is a flow chart schematically showing the autopilot deviation monitor logic and,
FIG. 6 is a flow chart schematically showing operation of the activity monitor logic of the present flight crew response monitor system.
The Flight Crew Response Monitor (FCRM), shown schematically in FIG. 1, utilizes Flight Management Computer (FMC) hardware and 12 utilized at present on commercial aircraft. The FMC derives a horizontal route over the earth's surface based on pilot selected waypoints, airways and terminal area procedures which the pilot can then select as the active route to be flown. Furthermore, the pilot can command the FMC to control the aircraft to follow this active route by engaging the FMC lateral navigation (LNAV) mode. With LNAV engaged, the FMC sends roll control signals to the autopilot which thereby controls the direction of flight. The FMC also computes the optimum vertical profile, subject to pilot modification, including optimum speeds, cruise altitudes and the optimum point at which to begin the descent from cruise to arrive at the runway with minimum fuel wastage. This optimum point is referred to as the top of descent point. The pilot can command the FMC to control the aircraft to follow the optimum or pilot modified vertical profile by engaging the FMC vertical navigation (VNAV) mode. With VNAV engaged, the FMC send pitch control signals to the autopilot, and thrust or speed control signals to the autothrottle, which thereby control the speed and altitude of the aircraft. Software is added to the FMCs to provide profile departure detection, crew activity and flight progress monitoring, and alert triggering. Discrete signals are passed to crew alerting display 7 and warning system 14 which generate visual and aural alerts respectively. Discrete signals from communications panels 6, 9, and 10 to the FMCs are added to identify when a pilot is talking on a radio.
Logic is implemented in the FMCs because they already compute the planned lateral route and vertical flight profile and because they receive the signal inputs needed to detect crew activity. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 they receive digital signals indicating any pilot switch actuation on EFIS control panels 1 and 4, Mode Control Panel 2, EICAS control panel 3, Control Display Units 5 and 8 and communications panels 6, 9, and 10. The added logic is described in FIGS. 2 through 6.
FIG. 2 shows the overall processing logic which would be employed in flight. The FMCs would cycle through the logic approximately once per second, with the deviation monitor logic being invoked on each pass and the crew activity monitor invoked only during cruise.
The route deviation monitor described in FIG. 3 is invoked inflight whenever an FMC computed route has been activated. It is designed to trigger the crew response alert when the airplane:
1. Begins to fly away from a previously captured route with the FMC lateral navigation mode (LNAV) engaged.
2. Is not closing with the route for over five minutes with LNAV armed. (Pilot cancellable for up to 30 minutes).
3. Has been in the cruise phase without LNAV engaged but with an active route, and has not been closing with that route for more than 30 minutes.
The first condition would result from an FMC or autopilot inability to stay on course. The last two guard against the crew getting side-tracked and neglecting to capture the active route.
The profile deviation monitor described in FIG. 4 is invoked during cruise when engaged in the FMC vertical navigation mode (VNAV). In this situation, the FMC controls pitch and thrust, thereby controlling speed and altitude. It captures and holds the scheduled cruise altitude and speed. An altitude deviation message is generated if it fails to close with the cruise altitude or deviates more than 100 feet after closing, regardless of whether the cause is lack of control or lack of airplane performance capability. Jet engines have been known to gradually lose thrust in a way which might go undetected by an inattentive crew until performance deterioration forces a recovery maneuver to be flown. For earlier crew awareness, a thrust deviation message is generated when an engine is unable to deliver at least 95% of target thrust. Similarly, a speed deviation message is generated when the airplane is unable to close to and maintain target speed within ten knots. When any of these deviation messages are generated, the crew response warning is immediately triggered.
The autopilot's ability to control pitch and roll to the FMC command values is monitored as shown in FIG. 5. When an attitude deviation message is generated, the crew response warning is also triggered since the cause may be airplane related and therefore not generating a separate crew alert.
On modern jet transports designed for operation with a flight crew of two pilots, most pilot interface activity with the airplane during cruise involves the control panels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 in FIG. 1. Control panels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 transmit all switch positions except display brightness setting to the FMCs 11 and 12 over digital busses. Control panels 6, 9, and 10 send an analog discrete signal to the FMCs when they detect that a pilot has actuated a "press to talk" microphone switch. Tasks accomplished usually involve display manipulation, automatic flight mode selection, keyboard communication with the FMCs and voice communication over the radios, all of which result in signal changes which are detected by the FMC activity monitor, whose logic is described in FIG. 6. Consequently, it is realistic to assume that an alert crew will perform at least one of these tasks within a twenty minute period during cruise. The activity monitor operates on the principle that if a pilot action is sensed during this period via the FMC inputs shown in FIG. 1, at least one pilot is alert and the timer can be reset to zero. Since it is unlikely that both pilots will sit for twenty minutes without doing something which will automatically reset the timer, the system will normally be invisible to an alert crew.
It is possible, of course, for the timer to reach twenty minutes of sensed inactivity with an alert crew. They could be performing a satisfactory panel scan without touching the monitored controls. They might be performing tasks using unmonitored controls, conversing with each other, reading or just watching progress. There are very few tasks using unmonitored controls which can attract their attention for a significant time period. Since management of airplane subsystems is almost entirely automatic, most of the overhead panel remains untouched inflight. Of course, additional control panel outputs could be monitored. Studies to date indicate that should not be necessary. If the timer should reach twenty minutes, a silent visual advisory alert is triggered identifying the need for a "crew response" to avoid the aural warning. An alert pilot should notice this advisory and can then move any one of the monitored controls to reset the timer.
If both pilots happened to be asleep when arriving at the top of descent location, they could overfly it without requesting a descent clearance or responding to an ATC clearance to descend. Continued cruise would result in an airspace violation and could seriously deplete the reserve fuel intended to cover the contingency of having to divert to an alternate. To preclude prolonged overflight, the crew response advisory is triggered upon passing the top of descent location, calculated by the FMC as appropriate for descent to the preselected destination airport, if no crew action has been detected within the last ten minutes. In this case, the FMC activity monitor is used to measure crew inactivity leading up to the trigger point; namely, passing the top of descent location. The shorter time interval is used because the crew should have been planning the descent and requesting a clearance in this time period.
As FIG. 6 shows, if no crew activity is detected within five minutes after the silent "crew response" advisory is triggered, the aural warning is triggered. This continuous aural is sufficient to wake a pilot under any circumstance. It is silenced in the normal fashion for aural alerts.
Throughout this description, realistic timing and threshold values have been used. However, they will be refined during development testing and may even become airline variable in some cases.

The average total compensation for a Big Three autoworker? $73.21 an hour. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, meanwhile, pay an average of $44.20 an hour. Scarier is the fact that IBD is on the same page as former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Reich.
Someone check the weather report in hell.
Credit this idea to Robert Reich, the former Clinton administration official. We've had lots of disagreements with Reich in the past, and no doubt will in the future. But on this he's right: If a bailout is to be given, the Big Three and their unions must thoroughly revamp their businesses, almost as if it were a bankruptcy. Call it a Chapter 11 Bailout.
Above all, the companies' poisonous contracts with the United Auto Workers union have to be torn up. The problem is that the UAW, under President Ron Gettelfinger, remains adamant: No givebacks. This is financial lunacy.
Thanks in part to managerial incompetence, but mostly due to pricey union contracts, it costs American carmakers too much to build cars here; they can't compete. When you fold in health care, pensions, hourly pay, vacations and the rest, average total compensation for a Big Three autoworker is $73.21 an hour, according to data cited by University of Michigan economist Mark Perry.
Toyota, Honda and Nissan pay a still-generous $44.20 an hour in total compensation — a cost edge of nearly 40%. Is it any wonder that Ford, GM and Chrysler can't compete? Or that, after paying their workers, they never have enough cash left to retool?
Today the total market capitalization of the Big Three has fallen to about $7 billion. Is it better for the owners of those companies to suffer a total loss or for taxpayers to lose $25 billion? The answer is obvious. As such, the only case for a bailout is if it would force major changes on the industry. That won't happen with current management in place or with giveaway union contracts that make the companies unviable.
That's right. We're going to spend tens of billions of dollars (or more) bailing out three auto companies with a combined market capitalization of $7 billion. Disney's current capitalization alone is $38 billion. Apple's is in the area of $80 billion — 11.4 times that of the three automakers combined.
But remember: "It's not your money".

New dance craze hitting Cheltenham could boost confidence
Posted: December 17, 2012|
BODY shy people are being given the chance to boost their confidence and self-esteem at a new dance class.
And instructor Kelly Theyer, who is starting the new club in Cheltenham, believes the Street Fit lessons could revolutionise dance in the UK.
The genre, which follows in the footsteps of the Zumba phenomenon, is coming to Gloucestershire with Kelly starting the first class in the county next year.
Kelly, who owns Bishop's Cleeve street dance school Anneli, compared the dance form to urban aerobics.
And she hopes it will boost the confidence of her novice street fitters and bring the community together.
She said: "Fitness is just so good for your well-being and state of mind.
"It can help people with stress and emotional problems. And the great thing about Street Fit is that you can get a lot off your chest, just by dancing and not speaking to anybody."
Street fit works by training the upper and lower body, focussing on cardio exercises.
Just like Zumba, it is aimed at both men and women, with Kelly insisting you do not have to be a dance pro to join.
She added: "It's perfect for lots of people who have always felt street dance was too intimidating for them, but have liked the idea of it.
"I really feel Street Fit offers a platform for those nervous keep fitters who want to try something new but find it difficult to find the courage.
"Anneli is known in Cleeve as a friendly and welcoming school concerned with health, well-being and state of mind over competition and exams.
"Dancing is to express, not to impress."
Kelly is running three free Street Fit taster sessions this week. It will take place at Castle Hill Primary, Brockworth tomorrow from 6pm, then at Newland's Park in Bishop's Cleeve from 8.30pm. It will return to Newland's Park on Thursday at 8pm.

Fiqh of salawaat
Fiqh of salawaat
The Fiqh of Salawat
by Sayyid Sohail Hanif
Åðæñî Çääñîçî èîåîäîÇÆðãîÊîçï êïÕîäñïèæî Ùîäîé ÇäæñîÈðêñð êîÇ ÃîêñïçîÇ ÇäñîÐðêæî ÂåîæïèÇ ÕîäñïèÇ Ùîäîêòçð èîÓîäñðåïèÇ ÊîÓòäðêåÇë
In the name of Allah, the inspirer of truth. All praise is to Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate, and all blessings and peace to our Master Muhammad, his family, companions, and those who follow them.
Allah Most High says "Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet, O you who believe, send blessings on him and salute him with all respect." [Qur'an, 33:56]
The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said "The one in whose presence I am mentioned and does not send blessings on me is a miser." [Reported by Tirmidhi, who declared it well and rigorously authenticated].
The meaning of sending blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace)
The great 19th Century Shaykh al-Azhar, Imam Bajuri mentions in his supercommentary (hashiya) on the Sanusiyya in aqida,
"There are three meanings for salat ('sending blessings'): The first is purely linguistic and it is prayer (du`a) in it's most general sense. The second is purely legal and it is the spoken elements and physical actiosns that start with the saying Allahu Akbar ('Allah is most great') and ends with the greetings of peace (taslim), with specific preconditions. [f: Namely, the ritual prayer.] The third is both linguistic and legal. According to the majority, it is mercy when attributed to Allah; and seeking forgiveness (istighfar) when attributed to any other than Him, whether angels and others. As for the word 'salam', it's meaning is security. The purpose of this is to reassuring the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) about what he fears for his nation.Some have explained it as greeting, meaning, when attributed to Allah, that He address him with His beginninglessly eternal speech to indicate the loftiness of his immense rank." [Ibrahim al-Bajuri, Hashiya al-Bajuri `ala al-Sanusiyya, pg 7, Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi]
Imam al-Sakhawi, in his Qawl al-Badi`, added that linguistically, the word salat ('sending blessings') returns to two meanings. The first is supplication (du`a) and seeking blessings (tabarruk). Allah's saying, "And pray for them, Indeed you prayer is a source of tranquillity," carries this sense. The second meaning is worship. It can also be used to mean seeking forgiveness (istighfar), blessings (baraka), recitation, mercy, and forgiveness. Therefore, the meaning of the word salat depends on the context, as well as the one offering it, and the one it is being directed to.
The ruling of sending the peace and blessing on him (May Allah bless him and give him peace)
Imam Haskafi mentions in his Durr al-Mukhtar concerning sending the peace and blessings on the prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace),
"It is obligatory once in a persons life, without any difference of opinion.and it is differed upon concerning it's necessity every time he is mentioned (Allah bless him and give him peace) the chosen opinion according to Tahawi is that it is necessary (wajib) every time he is mentioned and the opinion of the school is that is repreating it is recommended [f: that is, saying it once in a session is necessary, and repeating it every time the Prophet's name is mentioned is recommended]."
Ibn Abidin explains,
"Sending of blessings on the prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is necessary once in each session [where his name is mentioned]…and its repetition is recommended [if the Prophet's name (Allah bless him and give him peace) is repeated]." [Radd al-Muhtar `ala al-Durr al-Mukhtar, 1:246, Bulaq ed.]
This was taken from the position verified by Imam Abu'l Barakat al-Nasafi in his al-Kafi and Imam Kamal ibn al-Humam in his Zad al-Faqir.
Places and time when the sending of peace and blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is recommended
Imam al-Haskafi mentions,
"It is recommended in all times, when possible."
Ibn 'Abidin adds,

The Saint Patrick School Community thanks the Corpus Christi Parishioners
Saint Patrick School held it's annual Corpus Christi Parishioner "Partnership in Catholic Education" appeal in the Fall of 2013. The appeal asked parishioners to assist the "parish school" by sponsoring our students, faculty, student enrichment programs and/or utility costs for the 2013-14 school year. With Fr. Gary's support and blessing, the parishioners donated nearly $30K to the school. The school is blessed to have such generous support from our Parish Community. We thank you all!

Love them or loathe them, LulzSec, the mysterious group of hackers who got near-celebrity status with their showy cyber attacks on PBS, Sony and the CIA, have called it a day.
Saturday marked 50 days since the group started causing mayhem online. Back in early May when LulzSec first announced via Twitter that it had hacked into a database of Fox.com and published user details, hardly anyone had heard of them. Yet such is the whimsical nature of the web and online dissemination that within two to three weeks, they were making headlines in established newspapers, even getting their favored Nyan Cat Internet meme in the Wall Street Journal's print edition. Google "LulzSec" today and you'll get more than 5 million results.
Last night the group told its quarter of a million Twitter followers that it was "time to say bon voyage" with a final leak – and it's a doozy. The file uploaded to The Pirate Bay file-sharing site includes half a gigabyte of internal AT&T data, and login details for 200,000 users of HackForums.net. See: LulzSec Says Goodbye, Dumping NATO, AT&T, Gamer Data
Their final press release, entitled "50 Days of Lulz", reveals that the group had a "crew of six" and also calls on others to continue with the Antisec movement that they revived about ten days ago. The Antisecurity cyber movement started in the late 90′s as a campaign against internet security, but was broadened out more recently include anything related to corruption or state oppression. "We hope, wish, even beg, that the movement manifests itself into a revolution that can continue on without us," LulzSec said.
One thing that's not made explicitly clear in the release is why LulzSec is disbanding. Like any good rock band, they may have wanted to end things on a high note, aware that having risen to prominence so quickly the press and public could just as easily tire of their story. Till now LulzSec has stood apart from other hackivist groups with their knack for grabbing attention from the media, and with the simple tools of Twitter and Pastebin, a web application that lets anyone upload snippets of text. On Twitter they were prolific, churning out 1,176, often-entertaining Tweets in the last 50 days. The pastebin releases were similarly lighthearted, even articulate. The group interacted with their fans, setting up a hotline for anyone to call to request a target for a cyber attack, and at one point redirecting all calls to the offices of magnets.com, encouraging Twitter followers to reference the Internet meme of "magnets, how do they work?"
Despite persistent enemies like rival hackers and the relevant authorities, LulzSec captured the public's imagination and sparked a debate about the ethics of their attacks. An article entitled "Why We Secretly Love LulzSec" by Risky Business editor and cyber security expert Patrick Gray recently did the rounds on Twitter after it said security professionals were "secretly getting a kick out of watching these guys go nuts."
The looming threat of arrest was probably the other big reason for stopping now. Last week saw the arrest of Ryan Cleary, a British 19-year-old who was charged with bringing down a government website with his botnet, and suspected of supporting LulzSec. This could have brought home to the group's members the dangerous waters they were treading in. "Behind this jolly visage of rainbows and top hats, we are people," they point out in their release.
The e-crime divisions of the FBI and London's Metropolitan Police may have their hands full with government-sponsored hackers, carders and spammers, but LulzSec has done plenty to provoke an investigation after its distributed-denial of service (DDoS) attacks on CIA.gov and FBI affiliate Infragard.

Scholarship Endowment
Endowed scholarships are essential to assuring that NC State competes for championships while attracting student-athletes who will make Wolfpackers proud. When a donor establishes a perpetual athletic scholarship at NC State, the gift is placed in an endowment fund. The fund is invested so that annual scholarships can be funded with a portion of the dividends and interest earned. The remaining portion is reinvested, enabling the scholarships to grow to offset inflation and rising tuition costs.
With more endowed scholarships, the Wolfpack Club can apply more of its annual membership contributions and gifts to other NC State Athletic Department needs. Wolfpack Club Endowment Donors have satisfaction of knowing that their gift will support deserving student-athletes year after year.

The Class G (LNER D48) locomotives were designed by Manson for the
GNSR's 1881 build programme. They were finally ordered in 1885, and built by Kitson & Co. in the same year.
The Class G engines were essentially a goods version of the Class A (LNER D44) locomotives
and they were included in the same build programme. The D48s were fitted with 5ft 6in driving wheels, whilst the
D44 were fitted with 6ft 0in driving wheels.
The D44s and D48s were both re-boilered at the same time between 1905 and 1912.
The new boilers had a slightly larger diameter. The boilers for Nos. 69 & 70 were built by the Yorkshire Engine
Co., but the boiler for No. 71 was built at Inverurie.
In common with most of the GNSR 4-4-0s of the period, the D48s were built with Ramsbottom safety valves with seat
casings. The GNSR eventually replaced the seat casings with tall casings.
Displacement lubricators were initially fitted, but the LNER replaced these with Detroit sight feed lubricators.
This brought the D48s inline with the other GNSR 4-4-0s which had already received Detroit sight feed lubricators.
The three D48s were mainly used on goods and fish trains over the Buchan section. They were also used on passenger
services on both the main line and various branches. By Grouping (1923), Nos. 6869 was allocated to Kittybrewster;
No. 6870 was allocated to Kittybrewster's sub-shed at Macduff; and No. 6871 was allocated to Keith to work
the Banff branch to Tillynaught.
The LNER withdrew two of the D48s in 1928. No. 6869 (GNSR No. 69) survived six years longer as a
spare engine at Kittybrewster. It was finally withdrawn in November 1934.
The last D48 was withdrawn in 1934, and none have survived into preservation.
I am not aware of any models of the D48 in any scale.

buying refurbished?
We stopped by an apple store today just to kill some time and now hubby wants one too. The demo's were 2nd gen which would not be bad for him but we also discussed with the apple associate a refurbished model( I told him to get a 3rd gen 16 gig) since you get full warranty and can still get apple care when we pick it up at the store( would go to Delaware- no sales tax if we get two tablets at the same time).
I've bought a re-firbished kitchenaid mixer that had full warranty except on paint and a digital camera but never high end electronics.
Is refurbished iPad same reason- some minor flaw they caught at the factory so technically it can't be sold as factory fresh?
I see the way apple is phasing out the 30 pin connector and I know once he sees retina display, he would regret getting the iPad 2 especially if a refurbished 3 is the same price as a new iPad 2 from the store.
Apple refurbs can be returns, formerly defective models, etc. Not necessarily scratch-and-dent.
They replace the battery, the rear cover (and screen if necessary), and send it out with a 1 year warranty and new box.
Go for the refurb. Had two now and both outstanding value.
In my opinion...Apple's refurbished products are much better than other manufacturers refurbished products...regardless of product category (kitchen appliances, TV's, electric drills, etc.). Apple's refurbished products are DEFINITELY NOT of the "scratch & dent" variety.
Apple refurbished products are just like new (including the 12 month Applecare warranty). All that is missing is the fancy box (you get a plain brown box).
No worries!:)
- Nick
Though we're talking iPads here, my 2009 27" iMac is a refurb and has been working awesome from day one with absolutely no problems. Apart from the plain white box it came in, you couldn't tell it was a refurb.
Apart from the box they come in, Apple refurbs are generally indistinguishable from new.
I bought a 1st Gen 16GB back soon after the iPad came out. It shipped from China in a pure white box. Once inside the box it looked like unpacking a brand new Apple product. It was just like brand new. It even smelled new. Their Refurbs are amazing.
I bought a refurbished 64GB iPad Retina a few weeks ago and it looks and works just like a new one. Saved $120 plus the tax difference. Go for it.

Foam manufacturers, like Dart Container Corporation, are developing new materials, products, and technologies with high-level engineer experts and making significant breakthroughs in environmental stewardship.
Banning foam is not an effective way to deal with litter and will not reduce costs associated with litter cleanup. A polystyrene ban will force individuals and businesses to use alternative products, such as glass, aluminum, plastic-coated paper cups, and wax-covered cardboard, which can also cause litter.
There is no evidence to show that litter-control costs declined in the cities that have already banned foam products because a foam ban will not stop people from littering. According to a 2004 report, by the California Integrated Waste Management Board (IWMB), bans are "not an effective long-term solution."[iii]
NOAA research has not shown a clear link between any foam food containers and damage to marine life. Many alternatives to foam, such as plastic-lined paper cups, also do not biodegrade in a marine environment and therefore, are a source of long-term marine litter.

By Steven Donald SmithAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2006 When José Rojas went to pull a badly burned woman from a Pentagon window after Islamic extremists drove a commercial airliner headlong into the building, her skin came off in his hands.
"I had to actually take my fingernails and dig into her flesh with her crying and screaming to get her out of the window," Rojas said, describing his efforts to help the victim of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
Rojas, 43, a police officer with the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, the successor of the Defense Protective Service, was working that fateful morning at the Pentagon's remote delivery facility, where packages get inspected before entering the building.
A driver making a delivery asked the officers on duty if they had heard that an airplane had hit the World Trade Center in New York City. Rojas, his supervisor and two other officers immediately went into an adjacent office and turned on the television. They watched in disbelief as they learned that a second plane had also crashed into the trade center. "We all just looked at each other and said, 'We're next,'" Rojas recalled.
As he was about to exit the office to start spreading the word of what had happened in New York, the ground shook beneath his feet. "When I stepped out of the door, all I could see was a big mushroom ball of flames going up into the air," he said.
Rojas immediately ran toward the flames.
What he witnessed when arrived near the crash site will haunt him for the rest of his life, he said. "This one guy was just holding his eye in his hand," he said.
The scene was chaotic. People were clamoring to get out of the building as fast as possible, many through windows. "I said to a bunch of people standing there, 'Let's see if we can get some of these people out," Rojas said.
He went to a ground-floor window and began yelling for people to come toward his voice. "People just started appearing out of the thick, black smoke," he said.
The first person he encountered at the window was the lady whose skin came off in his hands. Rojas, who had once been a fireman in his native U.S. Virgin Islands, said the severity of her burns surprised him. "I've seen burnt bodies," he said, "but this was bad."
He carried the woman away from the building and then ran back to the window, where he started pulling others to safety. "I was just trying get out as many as I could," he said.
Everything that followed the crash seemed to happen in slow motion, Rojas said, yet the details about the people he encountered throughout the day are lost to his memory. "I can't really remember any faces," he said.
When the fire department arrived, Rojas explained to them that he had been a fireman and asked if they wanted him to suit up. "I think they knew the building was getting ready to collapse, so they told us to get everybody back," he said.
A renovation project had recently been completed near the crash site, and numerous propane cylinders used for the project were still sitting in a fenced-in area, he said. When flames reached the tanks they began to explode. "These tanks were just shooting off up in the air. Poof! They were landing all over the place," he said.
Rojas stayed at the Pentagon until 2 a.m. Sept. 12. When he finally did go home, he said, he took a quick shower, briefly chatted with his wife and kids, and then went back to work.
"I was angry. Angry is being mild," he said. "My thing was, 'How dare they hit our house?' When we're on duty this is what we swore to protect."
His seething anger began to dissipate over time as he was heartened to see the country pull together. "I feel 9/11 brought the country a lot closer together," he said, "especially people."
Rojas said he and his fellow officers were not well prepared to respond to this type of terrorist attack. "That was something never conceived," he said.
He said the force's procedures and training have improved drastically, and the agency has grown by several hundred officers since the attack. "Our officers are better prepared to deal with a major catastrophe. Training is 100 percent better now," he said.
Pentagon police officers now receive various specialty training, including counter-weapons of mass destruction training. "When the anthrax scare started, I was part of a three-man team that actually started (our) chemical, radiological, biological and nuclear unit," Rojas said. "We started the hazmat team where we'd actually go around sampling."
In addition, Rojas said PFPA's interaction with other federal agencies, like the FBI, is also now much better.
"It's tremendous the amount of respect the Pentagon police department and the agency as a whole gets now with other agencies. We didn't have this before," he said. "It makes me very proud."
