Julia Alexander (Entered 2012)
I started my teaching career at Columbia Public Schools, as an elementary science specialist which I did from 1999 through 2009. During that time, I received my Master's degree in Science Education from the University of Missouri. I am currently teaching seventh grade science at Smithon Middle School while pursuing my doctoral degree. My area of emphasis at right now is writing in the science content area. I would love to work with teachers in some capacity, either in curriculum or professional development, so I am still unsure what my area of research will be. I enjoy Mizzou football, and basketball games which I attend with my husband (Steve) of 34 years, and hiking in our beautiful state parks in Missouri. I also enjoy spending time with my two grown sons, and my other family members in our Michigan summer home.

My first few hours in Eve Online involved watching Youtube videos on how to play Eve Online.
My name is Hoots, and I started playing Eve Online in May of 2012 shortly after the Inferno expansion launched. Prior to playing Eve, my experience with MMOs started as a 14 year old proto-nerd who, with the help of his younger brother, managed to somehow convince his mother to shell out $10 or $15 a month to play Everquest (I don't actually remember the exact cost of an Everquest subscription circa 1999). I never got a character to level-cap in Everquest, but I do remember joining a casual guild named after a reference to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. This was amazingly cool, since as a 14-year old it was apparent that Robert Jordan was the greatest author to have written anything ever, never mind the past 2000 years of actual literature.
As an adult, I sank an unhealthy amount of time into World of Warcraft, managing to mostly treat it as a single player game. I very briefly raided with a group of coworkers, but I mostly stuck to pursuing silly achievements like "Brewmaster," and "Seeker." I have also briefly played most modern MMOs currently on the market, but I would consider my playstyle much more casual than hardcore.
The first exposure to news about EVE that perked my interest was various outlets reporting on Burn Jita in the earlier part of May of 2012. One of the general gaming podcasts I listened to made a comment about Burn Jita that surmised EVE Online was wonderful to have around as a source of story-generation, but was largely uninteresting to play and completely impenetrable to outsiders.
A little bit after the Burn Jita events, near the end of that May, Steam had a sale on the new Inferno expansion for a little over six dollars. I purchased the game on impulse, only having two clear objectives. First, I wanted to give it a fair shake and see if it was really as impenetrable as nearly every mainstream gaming news outlet was claiming it to be. Second, I wanted to be able tell my friends and co-workers horror stories about absurd things that happened in a 9-year-old game. I assumed I would last a month or so and mirror my pattern with other MMOs, save World of Warcraft.
My first few minutes in EVE were relatively pain-free. I spent a good five minutes stressing over my racial choice until a quick alt-tab and Google search revealed that racial choice really didn't matter. I easily spent another 30 minutes fussing over my avatar, as I assumed that I would be using it all the time to interact with other players. Right?
With my avatar built, I started actually playing. It wasn't too bad; I walked around a space station using the familiar WASD configuration found in almost every modern PC game. After entering space in my pod, and shortly thereafter a newbie ship, getting from point A to point B in space seemed pretty self-explanatory. Sure, the Overview panel was technically a spreadsheet, but it wasn't that horrible of a spreadsheet. I did notice "Free Stuff" and variations thereof around some of the newbie stations, which I promptly ignored, assuming the stuff wasn't free or there was some sort of shenanigans involved. My progress was completely unimpeded in my first half hour of actual gameplay, and I moved my newbie ship to the appropriate station that housed all the Career Tutorial agents. This game wasn't really that hard at all.
For those of you who don't know or can't remember, the first mission in the Making Mountains of Molehills series requests some amount of Veldspar brought back to the station from a specific spot in the system. The tutorial pop-up at that time in EVE's history1 helpfully suggested how capsuleers typically go mining. Aura told me to equip a mining laser, travel to an asteroid belt, and mine any asteroids found there.
Easy enough. I equipped a mining laser and found an asteroid belt in system. I then proceeded to mine a bunch of Veldspar and promptly return to the space station. As it turns out, I did not yet meet all the mission conditions and was therefore unable to complete the mission. I paused and considered that I might have gotten the wrong type of Veldspar, or that maybe I was supposed to have an excess amount than what the mission specified. So, I went back to the asteroid belt and mined more Veldspar. No dice. I went and mined Dense Veldspar. Nothing.
At this point the possibility was slowly dawning on me that perhaps I needed to mine the Veldspar from a particular location. There were multiple conditions for the mission, and I had a green checkmark next a condition that seemed to indicate I indeed had the right amount of Veldspar. However, a second mystery condition persisted as still incomplete, and the only information it provided was a yellow circle with the name of the system I was in. Fantastic.
I glanced at all my menus under the journal button in the neocom, and I even went so far as to read carefully read the mission text. Twice. Either this game simply wasn't going to tell me where I needed to go to mine this particular ore-of-annoyance, or I was doing something else wrong.
I did the next somewhat-logical thing I could think of, and I went to a different asteroid belt in the same system and mined all the Veldspar I needed for the mission all over again. I tried trashing the Veldspar I had, and then I tried splitting up the Veldspar into the exact turn-in quantity for the mission. Nothing. I still couldn't turn in the mission. I must have spent a good hour and a half mining Veldspar, except it seemed like a Sisyphean eternity. I was becoming increasingly annoyed at both myself and EVE. Why, why couldn't I figure out how to complete a simple tutorial mission?
I then exercised the only other option I felt that I had available, and I alt-tabbed out of Eve did a search for the mission. The first search result I got was for a Youtube video of the career tutorials for from Eve University. I ended up watching that very video tutorial explaining how to complete a tutorial. The absurdity was not lost on me.
The video explained some of the finer points of EVE. For example, the "Free Stuff" I encountered earlier was indeed a form of shenanigans that would result in my death. The video tutorial also kindly explained how right clicking out in space brings up a wonderful navigation menu, and that location-specific places for missions pop up there when a mission is accepted and you are in the appropriate system. Huzzah. I had found the information I needed.
Ore in tow from the proper place, I was finally able to complete the mission. I remember a feeling of elation that I figured out this terribly inscrutable puzzle. I was not going to be beaten by this game and its complete inability to tell me about its own interface. I had triumphed, even if it was with the help of YouTube.
Six months later, I somehow haven't stopped playing. But I never went mining again, and to this day I suffer from an irrational hatred of Veldspar.
1. Subsequent changes in the Tutorial system, and a couple needed tweaks to the user-interface, now more clearly communicate where to go and how to complete missions. If only I had joined the game a few months later.

From the reviews:
"In the book … Wei and Zhang have selected and presented the analysis of square, triangular, and trapezoidal waves with sufficient details and the related mathematical theories behind the subjects. … the work is impressive in a mathematical sense. … Square, triangular, and trapezoidal waveform analysis can be useful in many practical engineering and scientific environments, and this 160-page work is a good reference source for such a specific area." (Nihal Kularatna, IEEE Circuits & Devices Magazine, Vol. 21 (2), 2005)

It's hard not to applaud Islamist leader Fethullah Gülen for apparently blowing the whistle on the massive corruption scandal that now touches several Turkish ministers, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's son Bilal Erdoğan, and perhaps the prime minister himself. The prosecutor's surprise raids have also shown light on financial dealings which—aside from enriching Erdoğan's cronies—also apparently assisted Iranian sanctions evasion and helped al-Qaeda expand its network into Syria.
The problem is Gülen's motive. Erdoğan is an arrogant man, and he has grown more arrogant with each election victory. He came to believe that he either no longer needed Gülen's support or was strong enough to win a battle with Gülen and put the Hizmat movement leader in his place. Hence, his decision last November to close the Gülen movement's test prep schools throughout Turkey. The schools are key to Gülen, not only because they are lucrative—and the Gülen movement is basically an international conglomerate—but also because they are useful for recruiting and indoctrination. They also fill a void and provide a useful service which Turks readily embrace.
While it is good that Gülen appears to bless a new transparency in Turkish politics, it is important to remember both that his about-face is based not in principle but self-interest and that Gülen enabled the tremendous corruption and abuses of power in which Erdoğan engaged.
Gülen's followers dominate the security forces which Erdoğan wielded without mercy against his political opposition and the press. Gülen professes tolerance, but his own past is checkered. And while he has his own media network with the daily Zaman at is head, there is a disturbing difference in tone between Zaman and its English version, Today's Zaman. Diplomats who only read the latter may not be aware that anti-Semitic conspiracies infect if not Gülen, then those around him and his top supporters.
Transparency is necessary in Turkey if there will be justice and reform. It is naïve to believe that the enemy of an enemy is a friend, or that Gülen's apparent acquiescence to pursuit of the corruption allegations against Erdoğan means a fundamental difference in Turkey's future. President Abdullah Gül has kept largely quiet, but has seemed more willing to accommodate Gülen and has taken many of his adherents into his inner circle. Gül is far more polished than Erdoğan, and presents a more professional face, but the difference in style masks a similar disdain for the separation of mosque and state that once marked Turkey's imperfect democracy. Let us hope that reform continues, but there will never be any true and lasting reform until Gülen opens himself to the same sort of investigation which he once encouraged against Turkey's so-called "Deep State," and now seeks against Erdoğan and his inner circle.

Rookie Keshawn Martin could help solve a problem the Texans have at wide receiver.
Martin, a fourth-round pick from Michigan State, is one of eight receivers competing for playing time behind starters Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter.
The list of candidates will grow after the Texans sign another veteran or two. The coaches are looking for three receivers to earn backup positions.
Lestar Jean, who was impressive during last year's camp and preseason before spending his rookie year on injured reserve, is the most likely third receiver because he's running first team while Johnson recuperates from arthroscopic knee surgery.
That would leave two spots if the Texans keep only five receivers, one of whom would double as a return specialist.
Martin, selected one round behind wide receiver DeVier Posey, returned punts and kickoffs in college.
"He's confident doing that," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's automatic catching the ball. That's the first thing you look at. You never find out for sure until it's time to play."
The Texans are looking for a third receiver and punt returner to replace Jacoby Jones.
"He's doing well," Kubiak said about Martin as a receiver. "He's got a lot of explosion. He needs to learn some things about the pro athlete he's going against. Sometimes when he separates, he thinks it's over. You've got to keep playing, so that's just something to get used to, but I like his work habits. … He has an excellent chance."
Martin (5-11, 194) may be the most versatile player on the team.
At Michigan State, Martin caught 127 passes for 1,714 yards and 10 touchdowns. He also ran 64 times for 540 yards — an 8.4-yard average per carry. And he completed eight of nine passes for 158 yards and two TDs.
As a returner, Martin averaged 10.1 yards on punts and 23.4 yards on kickoffs.
"That (versatility) is something I was able to do in college, and now I have to make sure I bring it to (the Texans)," Martin said. "This offense is similar to the one we ran at Michigan State. A lot of the concepts are the same. I think I'm adjusting well to what we're doing."
Proving himself as a punt returner in preseason would enhance Martin's chances of contributing as a rookie.
"That's something I feel like I can bring to the table, and it just gives them another reason to pick me," Martin said.
Martin's best season as a punt returner was as a junior, when he averaged 14.2 yards.
"Good instincts, finding a hole and then bursting up the field is what makes a good punt returner," he said. "I feel like I can definitely return kickoffs, too."
Martin's best season as a receiver was last year, when he had 66 receptions for 777 yards.
"During my first three years, I played outside more," he said. "I started playing in the slot my senior year. I can play both, wherever they want me to fit in. Right now, I'm focusing on outside."
Once the coaches believe Martin can handle his responsibility as an outside receiver, he'll get a chance to play inside, too.
Like his new teammates who have come to Houston from colleges around the country, Martin is adjusting to the heat and humidity.
"The first week was kind of tough getting used to the heat, but I'm better this week," Martin said, sweat pouring down his face.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Even if they can't, they can certainly dig the sounds these guys make. One of the most stunning tracks on Front End Lifter is "That Obscure Object of Desire," which features skittering drum & bass beats scraping against a swinging jazz pattern played by Soul Coughing's Yuval Gabay. Over that are ambient sound washes, muffled voices and an elegant violin solo by Mazz Swift. "There's a stillness to that track, as well as this propulsive thing that Yuval is doing on the drums," Reid says. Mazz is really interesting. She's classically trained, but she's also got this giant tattoo on her back. She came into the session with this stringy thing on and she had this tattoo, and I just said, 'Wow.' You know, Yohimbe Brothers is not just about male energy -- it's about the play between male and female energies. It's about desire. What do we really want, what are we looking for? Are we looking to erase ourselves, or are we looking to become ourselves? And is the desire just sexual, or is it spiritual, too?"
Such deep thoughts occasionally must take a back seat to simple horseplay. Much of that element is supplied by legendary DJ/producer Prince Paul, Living Colour vocalist Corey Glover and rappers Red Rum and Slick Rick, who offer up the hilarity on "6996-Club-Yohimbe." Working with such notable guests was a goal of Reid's for this record. (The other two Living Colour members -- bassist Doug Wimbish and drummer Will Calhoun -- also appear.) "They're people I respect and I love," he says. "Slick Rick ... it's horrible what's happening to him. [Slick Rick, who earlier served five years and twelve days for attempted murder, is being threatened with deportation because U.S. law prohibits any immigrant who's served more than five years in jail from living in this country.] The INS is running around unchecked. It's just sad. He's already done time. He's such a humble and wonderful guy. I was talking to Prince Paul about working with people in hip-hop, and it's incredibly hard. They ask for outrageous sums of money or they never show up. And Rick came on time; he was, like, 'Yo, man, whatever.' He played on the track, and I was, like, 'Oh God, I hope he likes it.' He listened to it and got totally into the spirit of that tune. I'm trying to get some information on what exactly is happening with him now, trying to make sure he doesn't get deported or something."
Sounds like a job for the Black Rock Coalition.
"Right," Reid says. "Where is that phone booth?"

The City of Detroit plans to continue its effort to keep a local marijuana decriminalization initiative off the city ballot despite recently losing the case in the Michigan Court of Appeals. The city plans to appeal the ruling to the State Supreme Court. From Mlive.com:
Krystal Crittendon, corporation counsel for the Detroit law department, says the city plans to file an appeal with the Michigan Supreme Court, likely delaying attempts to place the measure on the August primary ballot.
The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 last week that Detroit illegally kept the proposal off the ballot despite the fact that organizers had collected far more signatures than needed to put it before voters.
The group, Coalition for a Safer Detroit, originally collected sufficient signatures to get the initiative on the November 2010 ballot, but thanks to a lengthy legal fight with the city, the initiative was kept off the 2010 ballot. The recent Court of Appeals ruling would have allowed the measure to go on the ballot in August, but a further appeal by the city could again delay the initiative for months, even if the city ends up losing the appeal.
The initiative would remove city-imposed penalties for adults for possession of up to an ounce of marijuana. An individual could still be arrested under state law.
The irony of is that this "symbolic" initiative was intended to be a way for the people of Detroit to send a message to their city officials that they don't want their limited government and police resources wasted on arresting people for minor marijuana possession. By continuing this legal fight the city government is spending even more resources on the issue primarily to stop the voters of Detroit from being able to send the message that they don't want government resources wasted on the issue of minor marijuana possession.

They look great with a small chocolate egg in and wrapped in cellophane and make a more useful and lasting Easter present than a chocolate egg on its own!
You will need:
A scroll saw with appropriate blade for the wood you are using
Piece of hardwood approx. 2cm thick
Pattern (see Step 1)
Masking tape
Glue stick
Clear tape
Pillar drill
Forstner bit, or spade bit, or hole saw - size 35 - 40mm
Dremel router (not essential)
Oil to finish
If you are an experienced scroll sawer this could well seem like teaching my Grandma to suck the eggs that go in the egg holders, but I am hoping it could also inspire some folk who are new to the hobby.
Step 1:
The picture will need to be large enough for you to draw a circle inside that corresponds to the size of your drill bit.
Cut the picture out, leaving a small margin around the edges, except for the lower edge.
Step 2:
Make sure the lower edge is on a straight edge of the wood - this will enable the finished egg holder to stand upright when not in use.
Cover the pattern and masking tape with clear tape. This not only helps the pattern to stay put, but can help to lubricate the scroll saw blade when cutting thick hardwood.
Step 3:
Cut out the hole in the pattern using the pillar drill and your chosen drill bit.
Peel the pattern away from the wood.

Tonight, as Montreal is set to faceoff against the Panthers, the Canadiens should present a very different, more experienced lineup.
- Jaroslav Spacek is set to return from his injury. He will take Alexei Emelin's place in the lineup and will pair up with Yannick Weber. Josh Gorges will remain with P.K Subban and Hall Gill will form a duo with Rafael Diaz.
- Andreas Engqvist and Aaron Palushaj were sent down yesterday. Michael Blunden and new acquisition Peteri Nokelainen will take their spots on the fourth line.
- Peter Budaj will make his first start of the season. The Slovak netminder was 15-21-4 last year with a .895 save percentage.
Does Garrett Stafford ring a bell?
Yesterday, the Canadiens also made the acquisition of minor-league blueliner Garrett Stafford. Like many, his name rang a bell to me, but gave it no further thought. Then, my colleague over at HabsWorld.net, Brian La Rose, pointed out that it was Stafford who was involved in a pretty ugly incident a few years ago.
On April 30, 2004, Stafford was playing for the Cleveland Barons against the Hamilton Bulldogs in the Calder Cup playoffs when he got into an altercation with former Hab Alexander Perezhogin. Stafford cross-checked Perezhogin in the face resulting in them both falling to the ice. As they were getting up Stafford took another swing with his stick, this time making contact with the back of Perezhogin's helmet. In retalitation, Perezhogin then swung his stick into Stafford's face, knocking him unconscious resulting and sending him into convulsions. Not the prettiest of hockey memories, but video of it can be found here.

Canadiens vs. Panthers Notes; Remember Garrett Stafford?

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
~ Maya Angelou
Mike Lee, Utah's junior Republican United States Senator, like Alexander Portnoy, has a complaint.
The good senator actually thought it would be a good idea to spend 13 minutes and 35 seconds on the floor of the U.S. Senate yesterday complaining about the 2014 Farm Bill . . . legislation that, after years of political gamesmanship on both sides of the aisle, was finally passed by the House of Representatives and the United States Senate.
President Obama signs the $956 billion bill into law today during a visit to Michigan State University's East Lansing campus.
Lee, of course, proudly says that he voted against the bill.
Does Senator Lee have good reason to complain about the farm bill?
Any thinking American has good reason to complain about this farm bill because, like anything man-made, it is far from perfect.
The bill cuts $8 billion in food stamp benefits for Americans who can least afford the cut . . . a cut better made to bloated defense budgets . . . but since poor Americans can't afford to buy the lobbyists defense contractors can afford to buy, that argument is moot.
On the other hand, the bill does some things that make sense . . . things like:
- Completely eliminating $5 billion in direct payments to farmers, whether or not they grew crops
- Cutting overall taxpayer contributions to farmers by nearly $17 billion over the next decade
- Reducing the amount of money an individual farmer can receive in payments and loans from the federal government to $125,000.00
- Fully funding farmers who switch to organic farming
- Requiring farmers to comply with conservation programs and regulations
- Adding $200 million in financing for America's food banks
So, what is Lee's complaint?
Lee, supposedly a dyed-in-the-garments Mormon, surprisingly complains about the Food Stamp program, saying, "Under this legislation, the Food Stamps program is not really reformed – just expanded."
Oops . . . the honorable senator who is not known to be the smartest person on Capitol Hill has not been able to figure out that this farm bill in fact cuts food stamp benefits by $8 billion . . . hardly an expansion . . . or is he simply lying to make some sort of murky political point?
Senator Lee then goes off on a disjointed rant about how federally owned lands somehow prevent counties and cities from hiring Sheriff's deputies, buying ambulances, and hiring teachers.
I know what you're thinking: "Davy, federal lands? What the heck does that have to do with a farm bill? This guy's logic is hard to follow. What on earth is Senator Mike Lee trying to say?"
Good question.
What is Mike Lee trying to say?
If he's so all-fired concerned about the inadequacies of the 2014 Farm Bill, why didn't he offer any amendments to the bill? Moreover, why didn't he write his own version of the Farm Bill to show his colleagues in Congress how they could have done it right the first time?
Another good question.
Makes me wonder . . . could it be that Senator Lee's complaint is simply offered up as another gesture to placate the Tea Party so it doesn't 'primary' him out of his cushy job in 2016?
If you'd like to ask Senator Lee yourself, you can call him at 202-224-5444 or send a FAX to 202-228-1168.
I'd appreciate it if you let me know what he says . . . for some reason, they're not taking my calls.

The Dr. Jane's HealthyPetNet Foundation takes pride in the hard work of all its
grant recipients, but the Palmetto Animal League (PAL) represents the best and
noblest of rescue enterprises. PAL boasts a remarkable success rate of placement
– nearly 100% – with the average time a pet is fostered at less than four
months. In the true spirit of caring, nurturing and rescue, they work to avoid
euthanasia at all costs. To their minds, there is no other option than to keep a
dog or a cat as long as it takes to find them a forever home.
This is Bailey, a high-energy two-year-old boxermix.
A private non-profit, the PAL organization has operated most of its 30 years
using a network of volunteer foster families. Now, however, they are slowly
transferring to the nearly completed construction of their first facility, the
PAL's Adoption Center. More...
A review of how probiotics work and why they are so important to good health.
Probiotics have received a great deal of attention lately, and this focus is
absolutely justified. An increasing number of products, from yogurts to pet
foods, contain probiotics. Often referred to as "healthy" and/or "friendly"
bacteria (or microorganisms) in the media, their proper notation is "direct fed
microbials" when used in pet foods. Basically, probiotics are helpful bacteria
that reside in the intestinal tract. In fact, every digestive system contains
millions of bacteria, both those with a healthful purpose (like probiotics) and
some that are not so beneficial. While some kinds of bacteria can be harmful,
many (like direct fed microbials) actually help the immune system adapt to
internal changes within the body and thus naturally support good health. More...
For most pet parents, the mere prospect of a companion animal becoming sick
or injured can be frightening. In the event of an emergency, many pet parents
feel powerless to help, not knowing what to do to improve the likelihood of a
good outcome. However, you are not powerless to assist, and with minimal
preparation and some helpful knowledge, you can help your companion animal
successfully navigate an emergency situation. More...
I have been a pet product formulator for almost 25 years. Twelve of those
years, I have been privileged to develop premium health-related products for
Trilogy. Formulating dog and cat foods is normally a complex process; and, as a
holistic veterinarian, my unique health perspective helps to inform this
process. Each and every ingredient selected for a Life's Abundance food is
chosen to support all of the important bodily structures and functions. That's
why I am so proud that we have featured health-promoting direct fed microbials
in Life's Abundance Premium Health Foods for years, well ahead of competing
foods. More...
On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in a San Francisco Superior Court, which alleged that several popular brands of fish oil supplements have illegally undisclosed and unnecessarily high levels of contamination from toxic PCB compounds. Widely regarded as cancer-causing agents, PCB's were outlawed from manufacture in 1979. The lawsuit names eight manufacturers and retailers of fish and fish liver oils (as well as shark and shark liver oils) which tested positive for PCB contamination that exceeded the limits approved for human consumption under California's Proposition 65. The initial defendants named are CVS Pharmacy, Inc.; General Nutrition Corp. (GNC); Now Health Group, Inc.; Omega Protein, Inc.; Pharmavite LLC (Nature Made brand); Rite Aid Corp.; Solgar, Inc.; and TwinLab Corp.
These allegations should give consumers cause for grave concern. Although many currently marketed fish oil supplements feature claims of being "treated" to remove or reduce levels of PCB's and other toxins, many fail to accurately state the residual levels of PCB's remaining after "treatment". This lack of disclosure leaves consumers completely in the dark, not knowing whether or not they are ingesting high levels of PCB's when taking their omega-3 supplement. The allegations are deeply disturbing, as many consumers regularly take their supplements every day. More...

Luna 2
Date: 12 Sep 1959
Luna 2 was the second of a series of spacecraft launched in the direction of the moon. The first spacecraft to land on the moon, it impacted the lunar surface east of Mare Serenitatis near the Aristides, Archimedes and Autolycus craters.
Luna 2 was similar in design to Luna 1, a spherical spacecraft with protruding antennae and instrument parts. The instrumentation was also similar, including scintillation -- and geiger -- counters, a magnetometer and micrometeorite detectors. The spacecraft also carried Soviet pennants. There were no propulsion systems on Luna 2 itself.
After launch and attainment of escape velocity on 12 September 1959 (13 September Moscow time), Luna 2 separated from its third stage, which travelled along with it towards the moon. On 13 September the spacecraft released a bright orange cloud of sodium gas which aided in spacecraft tracking and acted as an experiment on the behavior of gas in space. On 14 September, after 33.5 hours of flight, radio signals from Luna 2 abruptly ceased, indicating it had impacted on the moon. The impact point, in the Palus Putredinus region, is roughly estimated to have occurred at 0 degrees longitude, 29.1 degrees N latitude. Some 30 minutes after Luna 2, the third stage of its rocket also impacted the moon.
The mission confirmed that the moon had no appreciable magnetic field, and found no evidence of radiation belts at the moon.

Richard Hamling
Counselor, DLitt, MSc, BA, LMHC
"My work is with individuals and their relationships. Therapy with me is grounded and directed by your goals and interests, a shared way of experiencing. Central to our time together is our collaborative-mindful therapeutic relationship, one of mutual respect, which guides your movement in meeting particular goals. The motivation and strength you bring to therapy permits us to access the origins and solutions to your discomfort. Relational Psychotherapy seeks to improve the quality of life, self-worth, sense of personal strength and relational ease.

Margaret Figueroa, LCSW
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
"Maybe you thought what you're struggling with would just go away, get better with time or disappear if you ignored it long enough and it hasn't. You might be feeling sad, anxious, alone, stressed, worried, misunderstood or overwhelmed. Or you're dealing with something or someone that's really stressful. Perhaps you want something different for yourself or your son/daughter, but you're feeling lost, unsure how to do it or stuck. It may be time to talk to someone on the outside to get a clearer sense of what's going on. Evening appointments are available.

"How can you find the therapist that's right for you? You might consider calling a few people to see if you connect well on the phone. I'd be glad to talk with you, even meet briefly in person if that would help you make a decision. In the meantime, here are a few things that you might want to know about me as they have influenced the way I do therapy.

"We all encounter personal challenges that threaten our sense of well-being and joy. It might be family and relationship tensions, financial and vocational struggles, or perhaps issues of anxiety or depression. Whatever the need, you don't need to face it alone. Why not reach out and connect with someone who will come alongside you to provide the encouragement and support you need to move forward? You can feel better! Things can change! There is hope! Together we can focus on you gaining a greater measure of emotional, relational, and if faith is important to you, spiritual health.

Psychologist, PhD
"Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, loss or trauma? The roots of our problems and concerns are embedded within our relationships, not only with others (past and present) but also, and most especially, with ourselves.

"When you need a place to turn for conflict resolutions, I offer mediation that builds upon trust, respect and dignity.

For over thirty years, I have combined experience in mediation; facilitation; advocacy; human rights; counseling and mindfulness; and executive and volunteer leadership positions to promote peace within individuals and help them to achieve healing and harmony within relationships and community.

Rick Locey, LCSW
Clinical Social Work/Therapist
"None of us are immune to internal or external sources of tension and stressors. Embarking on an exploratory journey to review the sights and touchstones of your life can unearth the roots of your distress and afford you with the luxury of increased motivation and improved energy for daily living. I do not believe that embarking on the process of therapy needs to be an endless historical review that keeps you planted in the past. It is a process that can reward you with a greater awareness and understanding and can provide you with an improved capacity for stronger relationship with yourself and others.

Kristin Koberstein
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
"Are you looking for support for your family? Do you have concerns about your child or adolescent, partner, or parent? It is not always clear what causes someone to suddenly seem withdrawn, worried, stressed, angry, or tearful. If you feel your family member might have an emotional or behavioral problem or needs help coping with a difficult life event, trust your instincts. Therapy can help develop problem-solving skills and also teach a person the value of seeking support when needed.
