Extra vehicular activity unlikely to take place during third manned mission as water tank for training not yet built
China's first spacewalk, expected during its third manned flight, is unlikely to take place next year as planned. China launched its first astronaut in 2003 in its Shenzhou-5 vehicle and carried out a two-man flight in 2005 with Shenzhou-6.
A third mission involving extra vehicular activity was expected "around 2008" according to a paper presented last year by the China Academy of Space Technology.
But in an exclusive interview last week with Flight International, China's first astronaut Yang Liwei, now vice-director at the China Astronaut Research and Training Centre, indicated that a water tank for EVA training, similar to those used by the USA and Russia, has not been built yet. "It will be installed at the [China Astronaut Research and Training Center]. We are making some pre-water-tank training," he said.
Asked if the spacewalk would take place next year, Yang said "everything is going to schedule". But the apparent lack of progress with EVA training was reflected in comments made by the centre's EVA simulation researcher Jinlan Kang at last week's 16th International Academy of Astronautics' Humans in Space symposium in Beijing. Asked if she expected the spacewalk to occur next year, Jinlan said she did not.
Jinlan has developed a two-dimensional desktop EVA simulator with future work planned to create a three-dimensional display system. Her simulation assumed the use of a manned manoeuvring unit (MMU), which NASA used on Space Shuttle missions in the 1980s. But it is not clear whether China would use an MMU for its EVAs.
The simulation also included the visual representation of a space laboratory, but Jinlan said she had assumed egress from a Shenzhou vehicle. Liwei said it "was not decided" if Shenzhou-8 and -9 would be docked together to create the space laboratory.

Federal recruiting is a daunting task even under the best circumstances. With lengthy hiring processes, poor candidate quality and key players who don't cooperate, federal hiring can be a down right nightmare.
But the Partnership for Public Service says there are some agencies that are doing a great job. The Partnership complied models of hiring into their new report: America Has Talent: Breaking the Mold for Federal Recruiting.
Tim McManus, vice president of Education and Outreach at the Partnership for Public Service, told the DorobekINSIDER that the report helps human resource officers zero in on best practices.
How the US Mint and NIST are perfecting the money-making process.

Lol. Work on his speed? Yea Denard needs to work on his height too.
this week in unintentionally grim-sounding recruiting headlines
Lol. Work on his speed? Yea Denard needs to work on his height too.
I'm just as geeked as the next man but can we stop with the megatron 2.0 phrasing I think that gets thrown around too easy nowadays. Respect the man, Megatron is 6'5'', runs a 4.35 and catches everything. Blackmon is the top receiving coming out, 2X college football Receiver of the yr and no one is calling him megatron 2.0. I'm just saying this to bring us back in the frame of reality and lets see what we got before throwing lofty comparisons. A kid can only improve his speed so much, .hundredths of a second is the usual improvement.
can easily take 2 tenths or more off of their 40.
More than anything, I think Dukes needs to grow into his body.
No, it couldn't.
They can't sign LOIs for a year and they're already verbal commits.
yes, yes it could. It is very ambiguous. The title of the thread is "commit coming today". That could very easily mean dymonte or shane are visiting. Unlikely in the context, but he's right.
Robert Nkemdiche? kthxbai
Hopefully it's Kozan because I've been buckled-up for days and I'm starting to chafe.
isn't coming,is this guy for sure a commit is coming today,don't get are hopes up steve!!!GO BLUE!!!
spelling and grammar in the same post FTW!
Great class already.
True but it's only frosting if this committ is 2012 though this class is already superb. We're in good shape. Now go beat Bama.
All positive speculation is appreciated, ambiguous or not.
If it's Kozan then it's been the longest 36 hours in the history of time.
Other possibilities:
Who is downvoting every post?
I only downvote the crappy posts.
Just kidding, the points don't matter.
I understand, but its tough to filter. Some post are cappy and deserve it, others not so much, Hey, i know i have some cappy post, that I would downvote if I could.
Damn those cappy posts...theyll get you every time
doesnt wiltfong usually say what year the recuit is? since he didnt this time it would mean it wasn't a 2013 recruit, since even if he did say 2013 there are a ton of offers out there, could be any number of kids. but if he said 2012 we all would know who it is. since he didnt give the year it must be a 2012 kid so it must be kozan
Scumbag mspeedkills, doesn't leak paywalled information from his own site.
My guess would be Dukes but I am very curious to be who it is. I feel like if it was Kozen it would have blown over the internet. Gibbs would be possible choice as well
I see Kozan staying at Iowa. It's taken too long.
It's probably Khalid Hill from Detroit Crockett.
I have also heard it is TE Khalid Hill from Crockett, probably a top 15 kid in the state for 2013
please look up kozan, i must of forgot this part of history
on ESPN blogs 12 minutes ago, re Jaron Dukes.....
I mentioned him in a few other threads that are lower down. But he's a Michigan fan, said he grew up a fan, he's a bigger receiver not great speed but looks like a big possession receiver. He wants to bring his family up to see Michigan, but said he's also hearing from some other schools so he's not likely to make a decision right away.
You are quoting paywalled stuff bro, not cool.
If you actually think that I've violated any terms and conditions by sharing that quote, then I have no response that will penetrate your tinfoil hat.
Michigan picks up 2013 TE Khalid Hill, go blue!
I say Hill will be a H-Back or WDE in college.
Its Khalid Hill of Detroit Crockett
Per Joshua Henske edit: guess I was a little slow on that one
The soon to be 4 star Jourdan Lewis. Michigan will welcome yet another Detroit Cass Tech player.
just maybe it will be Demar Dorsey who will now be eligible after attending Grand Rapids Junior College. The kid is so talented, and really, really wants to play for Michigan. The question is does this coaching staff want him on the roster??
just maybe it will be Demar Dorsey who will now be eligible after attending Grand Rapids Junior College. The kid is so talented, and really, really wants to play for Michigan. The question is does this coaching staff want him on the roster??
Khalid Hill, now this is an interesting commitment. Hill is 6'2" 220 to 230 and plays TE and DE for Crockett. 247 has Hill as a 3 star TE grade at an 86. Scout and ESPN have him also as a TE but have not done their rankings for the 2013 class. Rivals is condsidering him a Weak Side DE.
Here is a good link on the newest Michigan commitment for the 2013 class.
I read they are probably going to use him as a U back. Aaron Shea type.

Vicky Zhao 'forgets' to pay school feesCategory: News
Chinese actress Vicky Zhao Wei has once again found herself embroiled in another controversy, this time, for withholding payment of her school fees for eight years.
This is alleged by some reporters in China, who found the Chinese star's name amongst a list of students who were found to have outstanding fees owed to the Beijing Film Academy.
According to the source, the amount owed came up to RMB25,000 (about S$5400) in total.
The actress, famous for her role as the ditzy but loveable "Little Swallow" on the highly-popular televsion serial "Princess Pearl", graduated from the Academy's Performance Institute in 2000.
In a notice released by the school on 31 Oct 2008, it said, "Since the start of term till now, there are still some students who have not paid their tuition and lodging fees. In the midst of the busy term, this is a reminder to all students who have yet to do so to please make payment soon."
No stranger to scandals, Zhao has previously been slammed in the Chinese media for wearing a dress with a Japanese military flag on the cover of Bazaar Magazine. In 2004, she once again found herself in the news for allegedly beating up a pregnant former business partner.
This time however, she blames her poor memory for the gaffe.
Zhao could not be reached for a comment as she is currently filming overseas. Speaking through her manager, Mr Chen Rong Chen, she admits to the incident, claims it was an honest mistake.
"Due to her hectic schedule, this issue probably slipped her mind, and as it is considered a personal matter, the company did not interfere," he said, adding that Zhao has since asked someone to pay the fees on her behalf.

I flip-flopped the basil/thyme amounts. I used this whole recipe in a greek pasta salad recipe. Fantastic. Was the perfect blend of spices in the perfect amount. LOVED IT.
Delicious! Would make definately make again.

This was really good. I sprinkled it on scrambled eggs this morning. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but it was delicious! Thanks for sharing.
I love this seasoning. I use it to make Greek salad dressing: 1/3 c of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 tsp of dijon mustard, and 1 Tbsp of this seasoning. Superb.
Very simple to get together from ingredients I already had in my pantry. I subbed the dried garlic for fresh. Was perfect on the Greek Seasoned T-Bone Steak from AR.
This was a pretty good substitute for the expensive canned Greek seasoning. I did have to pump it up a bit with kosher salt, doubled the oregano and added 2 teaspoons of dried mint. Worked great for my dish. Thanks for sharing!
This Greek seasoning was amazingly yummy!! I initially was trying to make. Greek salsa that called for Greek seasoning, which my grocery store didn't have so I quickly looked this up, I cut the ingredients in half added olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, drizzled it over cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, added fresh garlic and sea salt!! OMG
Nice for a home version. The best I have tried is Jimmy's Greek Seasoning but this recipe took five minutes to mix and is pretty tasty.

Energy vampires aren't much discussed, but they do exist and can cause significant problems. If you feel drained by someone's presence it is likely they are drawing on your energy to feed their own system. Luckily you don't need to cut off their head & drive a stake through their heart to sort them out!
So what is going on here? Basically someone has learned to utilise other people's energies rather than draw on universal energy. Most 'vampires' don't even know they are doing it and don't behave like this all the time, although a minority will do this habitually and may even consciously use this ability.
Before you start getting angry realise that at some point in your life you will have innocently done a little energy-taking of your own, and often the 'donors' will have given more than willingly. For example when you were a child & you were poorly you will have had a natural pull on your parents' energies and they will have let you have all the energy they could supply. This is why it is oh so tiring when family members are ill!
To a certain extent supporting each other with energy is natural and healthy. In a well-balanced relationship the energy exchange is reciprocal and each person will give and take as needed. Things go out of balance though when one person is just taking & the other just giving, particularly if the donor is allowing their own reserves to be drained rather than channelling universal energy.
Then there are the real life vampires that stalk the streets and the internet...
My personal physical experience of a chronic energy vampire was a local woman who used to fix me with her eyes, which were oddly hollow looking. You could almost feel the energy being sucked away. She also had a way of standing too close, so that she was right in your energy field & drawing off you. As you backed off she moved closer! A brief encounter with her left you feeling exhausted.
People don't have to be physically present to draw on you. The telephone gives a strong enough link to begin the drain. Ever come off the phone from someone feeling worn out? Does that happen every time you speak to that particular person?
Unfortunately in this world of global communication energy vampires don't even need to know you. The Internet and email are modern ways to sap energy. Use your intuition. If someone gives you a bad feeling on a forum or by email don't respond, best not to even read what they are saying. Some people will jump up and down & say provocative things to try to get your attention; if you give them nothing in return they are rendered powerless & will have to go elsewhere for their fix.
So what strategies can you use? Firstly if you don't need to have the individual in your life and they have no legitimate claim on your time or energy you should simply avoid them as much as possible. However some people, those we live with, work with, or care for, do have a place in our lives. That is not the same as giving them the right to pull endlessly on your energies.
Knowing where your energy is leaking off to is the first step in solving the problem. To check if someone is potentially feeding off your energy ask yourself:
-Do I feel tired after spending time with this person?
-When I think of this person does my energy lift or fall?
-Does this person wheedle their way into my thoughts and/or my dreams even when I don't want to be thinking or dreaming of them?
I teach my therapy students to sit at an angle with clients rather than facing them. We are usually dealing with people whose energy systems are depleted in some way and they will try to make up the shortfall. This way we can't be drained so easily. When we are face to face the chakras are lined up and it is easy to draw on someone. If you work with people you could try the same.
Keep a bowl of crystals by the phone & fiddle with them when you are talking, or have a paper pad & doodle away. Having a slight distraction protects you from giving that person all your attention and energy.
To support depleted family members, friends & clients, learn to channel universal energy. Rather than have them take it out from your energy reserves imagine light flowing through your crown and down though your arms, out of your hands to them. This is simple healing. Make sure you are grounded.
Know where your boundaries are & protect them. If someone tries to trespass and does not belong in your life you are in your rights to cut them off. Visualise a clear edge to your aura and cover it with a protective coating- whatever feels right to you- armour, a reflective shell, a cloak. Ensure that your intention is to allow positive energy through & to keep your energy safe.
If you find you are struggling with energy drains that you can't resolve for yourself I offer a distant healing service and my partner Steve removes unhelpful energy attachments from a distance. You can contact us through Entity Removal.
There is a wealth of advice on protecting yourself in Caitlin Matthews' book:

George Lesser spoke to "a veteran NATO official with the closest possible ties to the United States," about European attitudes toward America and this is what he found:
Europeans, he said, are appalled by the chauvinistic jingoism and religious sectarianism so apparent in the recent American nominating conventions. European politicians don't wear flag pins in their lapels, and they don't have their followers screeching "France, France," or "Nederland, Nederland" the way the Republicans did "USA, USA" when John McCain and Sarah Palin were speaking. After hundreds of years of religious wars followed by 150 years of nationalistic wars, followed by 45 years of the largely ideological Cold War, Europeans tend to see themselves as beyond all that.
After all, there's nothing chauvinistic about seeing oneself as "beyond" the vulgar trappings of history, is there? Especially considering it was the chanting, flag-waving Americans who saved the Europeans from immolating in those nationalistic wars and then from stagnating in the Cold War so that they could enjoy this post-historical siesta. For Europeans, questions of survival have been supplanted by ones of taste.
In Europe, there simply is no bumper-sticker patriotism. Cars are not emblazoned with flags. There are no stickers telling one another how proud people are to be whatever they happen to be.
Shame about that, actually. Because what Europe happens to be, along with America, is a miracle of human rights, cultural achievement, and technological realization. A little pride in this fact might do Europe some good right about now. While Europeans' cars are not "emblazoned with flags," they are routinely set ablaze by Muslim immigrants in places like Villiers-le-Bel, France or Almeria, Spain or Vaerloese, Denmark. Perhaps if Europe woke up from its cultural apathy, it might find a reason to oppose the forces that seek to destroy it.
If Europeans really preferred riots to bumper stickers, it would be one thing. But whenever the heat gets turned up they look towards vulgar America to set things right again. When Europe found out that Vladimir Putin never got that memo about the end of nationalism, Poland signed on to host American missiles quicker than it took Russian troops to pull back on their positions. It's American protection that affords Europe the luxury of worrying about American patriotism:
To Europeans, the nationalistic, ideological and religious fervor they see in Americans is puerile and dangerous. They don't like fundamentalist religious fervor and political extremism in the Middle East, and they don't like it any more in the United States.
Well, then I assume they like it best in Europe, because that's where both Islamism and right wing nationalism have set up shop like nowhere else on the globe. While Qur'anic courts sprout up in England, fascists desecrate Muslim graves in Austria. As sharia creeps across the continent, secular fascism creeps alongside it. But at least there are no gauche flags.
By the way, this piece contains the strongest John McCain endorsement imaginable:
"America has got to change," the NATO official said – even shouted – repeatedly, "and John McCain isn't going to do it."

The Great Gatsby was the number one film in Japan last weekend, taking an opening gross of $1.7 million from 571 screens. The film was closely followed by G.I. Joe: Retaliation; the action film dropped 31% in its second weekend to gross $1.4 million and reach a $6 million cume. Japan is the last major territory for the G.I. Joe sequel as it inches to a $250 million overseas total. It likely won't get htere, however, as the current overseas cume stands at $247.3 million. Oblivion hit an important milestone by breaking the $10 million mark in its third weekend. Olympus Has Fallen continued to underperform, dropping 34% in its sophomore frame to reach a disappointing $2.1 million total.

Re: Can younger people appreciate music better than people of an advanced age?
I 100% agree with the premise.
And 100% disagree. All the at the same time. Ha!
The agree part: I know numerous people who essentially don't listen to anything different than they did when they were teenagers. Their weekends are spent essentially trying to re-live their late teens and early 20's.
Most bands as they age always face the same dilemma: their fans only want to hear the old stuff. Be it Rush, Ozzy, Paul McCartney, The Who, whomever, etc, it's the old hits that get the best response when played live, and fan interviews are always peppered with questions of
"are you going to play old stuff on this tour?"
Every original band either becomes a nostalgia act or breaks up, or breaks up and then re-forms as a nostalgia act later on. There are artists and bands out there who make a living simply playing their hits from 30 years ago, and don't bother with new material because no one will buy it anyway.
Where I'll disagree:
I noticed with many of my parents generation, as they aged, they took on new interests in classical and/or jazz, or gospel or such. Which may not have been new music, but it was new to them.
For myself I'm often finding myself appreciating a band or album I never payed much attention to before. Maybe it's a song that I've heard on the radio a million times that I never cared for will suddenly trigger a light bulb and I'll get it.
More likely though, it's something new. With the inventions of myspace, youtube and especially spotify, I'm constantly digging through the internet looking for new and interesting bands. Most of my favorite albums of the past 5 years are bands I never heard of before then. I just bought an album yesterday from a German band I had never heard of before.
The world is now open to listening to. With spotify, I can type in a band I like, hit the "related artists" button and find something I like. Then hit the "related artists" button of that band and eventually stumble upon a whole new world of bands. I might find something that really hits me, and I'll google who the band is and it might just turn out it's something a kid in some far corner of the world recorded in his basement.
Overall, I have a far more diverse album collection now that I'm over 40 than I did at as a 20-something.

This package of Spiral Eye Side Threading Needles has 2, size-6 sharp sewing needles.
The needles are side threading needles to make it easy to thread and will stay threaded. The needles are 100% stainless steel with no nickel plating.
They are hypoallergenic, magnetic, will not rust and will stay sharp.

The other commenter said these are expensive.. yes they are. BUT! They are fantastic. Really I'd like it if a pair was about 5 bucks instead of ten. But I don't just use these for embroidering. I use them after I get done quilting. Because of the spiral, it is really easy to tuck a short end of thread through the eye. Then, I can thread it into the interior of my quilt sandwich instead of cutting off the tiny ends. I have found with this needle I can tuck in even 1/2 inch long hanging threads. I"m sure my quilts will stay together years longer doing this. And these needles make it sooooo easy! You won't regret it if you try them out.

College Supports Awareness of Nursing Care for Veterans

Carroll Community College Nursing Department Supports Awareness of Nursing Care for Veterans and Military Families
Westminster, Md. Recently, a coalition of national nursing organizations and schools made a formal commitment to educating current and future nurses on how to care for veterans impacted by post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression and other related issues.
Carroll Community College Nursing program is one of the colleges supporting the initiative.
Nurses are trusted partners in providing lifesaving and life-sustaining care in nearly every community and every setting. This is especially true in regards to veterans and military families. Veterans seeking care within the Veterans Affairs (VA) health system are often treated by health care professionals who have received extensive training in mental health issues. However, the majority of veterans in the country seek care outside of the VA system—they usually visit their local hospital staffed by nurses and doctors in their communities.
"We are including clinical experiences in our theory and classes that represent appropriate measures for caring for this population," said Carroll Nursing Program Director Nancy Perry. "Our faculty members are making students aware of resources and support systems to help the veteran community."
For the Media: For best response to inquiries, please contact Sylvia Blair at 410-386-8411.

Tropical hues on Spanish colonial homes of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
I was five when we moved to paradise. Equipped with a couple of suitcases, my mother and I left our home in northern Virginia to embark on a new adventure in Puerto Rico -- "La Isla del Encanto" (The Island of Enchantment), with its picturesque white sand beaches, aqua blue ocean water, exotic animals, tropical climate, and the only rainforest in the United States.
It may seem worlds away, but Puerto Rico has been an American territory for over fifty years. And when I think of my own childhood there, I immediately remember the places and experiences there that helped shape who I am today.... Read More →

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2006 All 17 people aboard survived the crash of an Air Force C-5 Galaxy transport jet at Dover Air Force Base, Del., Air Force officials reported.
No official information was available on the condition of the survivors, who are members of Air Force Mobility Command's 436th Airlift Wing and the Air Force Reserve's 512th Airlift Wing. Both units are based at Dover.
The jet crashed short of the runway at 6:30 a.m. while attempting to return to the base shortly after takeoff, reportedly because of mechanical problems. The huge aircraft broke into three pieces -- the tail, fuselage and cockpit section.
A board of Air Force officers will investigate the crash. The last previous C-5 crash was on Aug. 28, 1990, during Operation Desert Shield, when a C-5A crashed after takeoff from Ramstein Air Base, Germany, killing 13 of the 17 people on board.
Stretching almost the length of a football field, the C-5 stands as high as a six-story building. The cargo compartment is 121 feet long, 19 feet wide and 13 feet high. The Berlin Airlift required 308 aircraft of the C-47 vintage, the military equivalent of the DC-3. Seventeen C-5s could have completed the same operation, according to a fact sheet on Dover Air Force Base's Web site.
The Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk, N.C., in December 1903 was 102 feet shorter than the C-5's 222.9-foot wingspan.

I Spreaked about E3, and I liked it.
By Creamypies 1 Comments
So after listening to a load of Alex & Jeff chatting on Spreaker, I decided to test it out for myself. This went on for way longer than I intended, and I realised that I have the incredible ability to chat to myself about games for a lengthly amount of time... plus I talk a hell of a lot of shit.
Enjoy, or don't... but I figured I may as well post this somewhere, otherwise the 18 odd minutes that I rambled for were completely and utterly pointless.
Also, bear in mind, I have a cold.
