Hi Greg - I thought your readers might be interested in this!
2009-2010 NASA University Design Contest in Exploration Systems
NASA invites college students to get involved with NASA's return to the moon by helping to design the tools and instruments needed for the next-generation manned moon rover. Student projects will tackle real problems to be solved for a successful manned lunar mission.
Examples of problems include:
--Navigation in the darkness around the moon's south pole.
--Sample retrieval and on-site analysis.
--Radiation detection and avoidance.
--Communication with lunar outpost, with orbiters and with Earth.
--Video capture of sorties for transmission back to Earth.
--Astronaut rescue and recovery.
--Lunar regolith mitigation strategies for rover and space suits.
The contest is open to U.S. citizens enrolled full-time in an accredited post-secondary institution in the U.S., including universities, colleges, trade schools, community colleges and professional schools. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged, across departments and institutions.
An e-mail notice of intent is due by Dec. 15, 2009. Final entries are due on or before May 15, 2010.
For more information about the contest and to register online, visit http://moontasks.larc.nasa.gov . Questions about the contest should be directed to Dr. Elizabeth Ward at email@example.com.
2009-2010 Life and Work on the Moon Art and Design Contest
NASA invites high school and college students from all areas of study, including the arts, industrial design, architecture and computer design, to submit their work on the theme "Life and Work on the Moon." Artists are encouraged to collaborate with science and engineering students. Such collaboration is not required but would help to ensure that the works subject is valid for the moons harsh environment.
Entries will be accepted in three categories: two-dimensional, three-dimensional and digital, including video. For the first time, entries in literature (poetry and short stories) will also be accepted. Judges will evaluate entries not only on their artistic qualities, but also on whether they depict a valid scenario.
Prizes include awards and exhibit opportunities. International students are encouraged to participate, but they are not eligible for cash prizes or student internships.
Entries are due no later than April 15, 2010.

Letter: Hero for the homeless
Pat Barclift
I have just finished reading your Jan. 25 article about Pat Morgan and her work with homeless people ("'I am relentless'"). This woman will no doubt be richly rewarded in the life to come for her dedication and obvious love for mankind. She would probably say she's already being rewarded.
My husband and I have been privileged to meet people in missions for the homeless in other cities, and are deeply moved at the dedication and outright mercy that go on there. To meet and talk with men and women who are being given second, and yes, third and fourth chances in life makes us want to give more than the little we give now to help. Reading stories like this and seeing pictures of people living under bridges should move us to help and help again.
She is spot on when she says that housing is not the real issue; the long-term solutions are to change their basic self-worth and understanding. If that doesn't happen, they are destined to repeat the cycle. This woman is a true hero.

Alyssa Milano Announces She's Having a _______!
Monday, pregnant internet superstar Alyssa Milano took to twitter and announced she can't keep a secret and would be announcing the gender of her baby.
The verdict? It's a BOY!
From Alyssa.com
As fun as it was reading all of your gender predictions on Twitter, I'm really bad at keeping secrets and had to share (not to mention, I was bound to unintentionally slip at some point). David and I are elated to announce that we are having a baby boy.
We can't wait to meet him.
Boys names, anyone?
Congratulations to Alyssa Milano and her husband and Baby Daddy, David Bugliar.

Anyone who's played Khal Drogo in Game Of Thrones and Conan in Conan The Barbarian in one lifetime has to deal with the fact that they have to stay ridiculously ripped forever. Because Drogo or Conan can't be seen with a beer gut, period. That would break too many hearts. Luckily, the actor to who those roles were bequeathed to, Jason Momoa, seems to be perma-fit. Confession: we used to watch him in Baywatch: Hawaii. In fact, he was the only reason why we watched that show. Naturally, people are curious as to how he stays so buff all the time, because that man was born to be shirtless (sorry, Taylor Lautner.) TMZ found him outside a hotel and peppered him with questions, about his new, shorter, hair for instance. His wry reply was, "I lost a bet." Then came the workout questions. Does he do cross-fit? Does he lift heavy weights? The response was in the negative to all of them. He finally answered with the best celebrity response we've heard in a very long time. Jason Momoa says the secret to his exercise regime is, "I f— a lot." He said that — on camera. If you don't believe us, you can see it for yourself in the video above. But wear headphones if you're at work because naturally, it's NSFW!

The Extended Mercedes Super Bowl Ad Features A Lot Less Of Kate Upton, But It's Still Awesome
Just last week, the new Mercedes Super Bowl ad was all about Kate Upton washing the swankin' new car in slow motion. Of course, there was talk of it being pulled off the air because it was too sexy for audiences. Has that talk achieved its purpose? Because the extended cut of the advertisement — see it above — has been released and there's a lot less Kate in it, and she's also a lot more clothed! At the same time, we love this ad and you will too, even with Kate being in it for five seconds. Set to the soundtrack of Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones, the story's about your regular, everyday Joe being tempted in the form of the always awesome Willem Dafoe, portraying Lucifer. Lucifer offers him everything — money, beautiful women (that's where a Marilyn Monroe-esque Kate is featured,) fame (he parties and dances with Usher) and the fast life. Will average Joe take up the offer? That remains to be seen. Watch the video!
Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Ben Affleck Cover Star-Studded Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue
This one's going to be a collector's item. The legendary photographer, Bruce Weber, has shot Vanity Fair's 19th Hollywood Portfolio (out in March) which not only features Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck on the cover, it has a gorgeous spread of stars — 75 in all — in vintage poses inside as well. All of them were photographed in spots that have been featured in some memorable movies making the areas themselves legendary, much like the films they were spotted in. The bed on the cover, for instance, is the bed that's part of that famous scene in The Godfather (1972), where the movie producer wakes up with his horse's head in it. And the bed's in the mansion used in the film as well, so you have the real deal. Some of these photographers are truly breathtaking. Kerry Washington looking like a gorgeous Old Hollywood singer, Olivia Wilde in vintage showgirl gear, Armie Hammer like a lonely '50s naval captain with a couple of hours to spare before he has to set sail again — Weber's put together a portfolio that has the sepia tint of Hollywood nostalgia firmly, but perfectly in place. Bella Heathcote and Eddie Redmayne dressed up (and dancing) like Fred and Ginger with a gorilla in their midst is another sight to behold. Make sure you check out the behind-the-scenes shots of celebrities like Selena Gomez and Brad caught between shots.

CZJ, Hannah Simone, Jessica Alba, Teresa Palmer: Is Black Lace The Flavor Of The Week?
We've been seeing a lot of black lace popping up on celebrities over at the West Coast all week. And to our delight, none of them have made the fabric seem Morticia Adams at all. Do we smell a trend? It started with Jessica Alba at the Producer's Guild Awards during the weekend at the Beverly Hilton wearing a sexy Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture gown. Snazzy color was provided through her purple Roger Vivier clutch, her mint green nails and her pink lipstick. We were also thrilled to see Catherine Zeta-Jones take on a black lace sheath with a fringed hemline, by Emilio Pucci from the Fall 2011 collection. CZJ wore the sexy outfit for a stint on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno in Burbank, California, day before yesterday. Next up, we have the Aussie stunner Teresa Palmer wearing a sweeping, dramatic black lace gown by Philip Armstrong, which plunged down the front. She wore it to the premiere of Warm Bodies yesterday in Hollywood, and styled it up with a silver Judith Leiber clutch and heavy-duty Jacob & Co. diamond stud earrings and bracelet. Lastly, we have the lovely Hannah Simone at co-star Zooey Deschanel's Glamour Cover Girl bash in West Hollywood, California, wearing an elegant black lace, cap-sleeve dress from Theia's Fall 2012 collection. Now do you see why we sense a trend? Comment on your favorite look!

Lindsay Lohan Runs Out Of Excuses, But Will She Make Her Court Date?
HEY, L.A. — are you ready for Lindsay Lohan? Because she sure as hell wasn't ready for you. Seriously, if L.L. had her way, she'd still be in New York, shopping in SoHo while pretending to be sick with the 'flu. L.L was supposed to be in L.A. to make a court date today, and we're losing count of the reasons why — we're guessing this was for her car accident last year. But the wacktress tried to wiggle out of making her court appearance, as did her new lawyer, Mark Heller, by submitting a doctor's note saying Lindz was too ill to fly with an "upper respiratory infection." We would have been inclined to somewhat believe her had she not been photographed on her shopping spree, smoking, the very same day. Basically, it's "my dog ate my homework."
Anyhoo, the judge would have none of it, and TMZ gave L.L. a heads-up that she would be arrested if she wouldn't show. So the end result is, the photograph you see above is of Lindsay at JFK about to fly American Airlines first class to L.A. to make that court date. Now, will she make the morning call time? Will there be a tyre puncture? Or getting locked in her bathroom? Or some other excuse? We'll have to wait and see this A.M. Her new lawyer hasn't even been approved by the judge yet to represent Lindsay, so there's a lot that could go wrong today.

Hey, Kiernan Shipka, How About Swapping Lives For One Day?
We've already obsessed about Kiernan Shipka's wardrobe once before. No, you don't have to remind us that obsessing over a 13-year-old's sartorial choices is weird, because we already know it is. But can you blame us? Can you blame yourself, because we know you've sighed over her Miu Miu raspberry peep-toes more than once. When we looked at our past coverage of Kiernan, we realized she's been on more best-dressed lists consistently than any other star on the blog. The last we saw her was at the SAG Awards, which happened on Sunday night, and — you guessed it — she made it to the best-dressed list once again. She came in somewhere very close to the top wearing a stunning, age-appropriate Oscar de la Renta midi, flared dress with darling silver shoes by the same designer. And if a 13-year-old wearing Oscar wasn't too much to handle, how about this behind-the-scenes SAG Awards diary that Who What Wear published about her to really got those jealous juices flowing? Featuring some beautifully lit, ridiculously glamorous shots of the young star, it also helpfully informed us that not only was Kiernan wearing a hell of a lot of Oscar, she was also wearing Forevermark jewelry and was styled for the event by none other than Rachel Zoe's team. And no, envy is not becoming on any of us, but …

Is Dakota Fanning's Glamour Cover Too Sexy? Not As Much As Her Marc Jacobs Campaign At All!
We're finding this cover shot of Dakota Fanning for the March issue of Glamour completely startling. Shot by fashion photography stalwart, Ellen Von Unwerth, the shot, and the spread inside the magazine, has Dakota looking like an artfully dishevelled disco doll. Tumbling curls, huge blue eyes, a red pout and a slinky, yet retro wardrobe all add to the look beautifully. While the interview focuses a lot on fashion and her sister Elle Fanning and so on and so forth, there's a certain section that really caught our eye. Do you remember Dakota's fragrace campaign for Marc Jacobs from 2011? Taken when she was 17, it had a whole Lolita vibe to it with Dakota sitting with the bottle (which has a large rose for a cap) between her legs. While a poll we posted revealed a number of you though it was okay, we still think it was super sexual for someone so young and it seems the U.K. agreed with us, banning the ad for being too provocative, pushing it in our list of the most controversial celebrity campaigns. But the actress herself thinks that the whole kerfuffle had no base, telling the magazine, "Yeah, I was! If you want to read something into a perfume bottle, then I guess you can. But it's also like, Why are you making it about that, you creep? I love Marc and trust him, and we just laughed about it." Which makes us the "creep", but whatever.
The point is, Dakota's now 18 (19 next month) and this extremely sexy shoot is deemed "high-fashion" and not creepy, leading some to ponder on whether industry standards are hypocritical. How does this shoot differ from that shoot? Well, the Jacobs fragrance was called "Oh Lola" which is a clear reference to Lolita, so let's not be coy about the not-so-subliminal messages, especially with her wearing that babydoll dress. Dakota is older now and this shoot is sexy but in an exaggerated, almost caricatured way. There's a deliberate sense of artifice, while the fragrance campaign was stripped down and "real." We can appreciate the Glamour shoot as a look, and not because things are placed between her legs. And yes, she's legal now which does make a huge difference. Don't get it twisted.

Shailene Woodley And Shiloh Fernandez: Sundance Couple Or The Real Deal?
While this happened a couple of days ago, the news has just leaked now, and we're supremely glad it did. Nothing like the news of young, hot stars getting together to start the day, right? Before you think we're sounding jaded, let us tell you that the young birds we're talking about are Shailene Woodley and Shiloh Fernandez. And we love us some Shailene, so no, we're not being snippy about this. Shiloh — we remember him being the testosterone-y cuteness to Amanda Seyfried's Red Riding Hood a while ago, so way to pop back on the radar, dude! From the photographs you see above, taken at the Hyde Lounge in Park City in Utah during Sundance, it's easy to confer that the two are close. Most would say that it's because the two actors are co-stars in the upcoming film, White Bird in a Blizzard, where they play each other' love interests, US Weekly reports that there's more here than meets the eye. From their ever-present sources, one reveals, "They danced until 2 a.m. and ended up making out at the end of the night." So, "close" would be an understatement. But the real question is: are they just a Sundance hook-up, or are they heading to couple-town? Weigh in, and let us know what you think?

Precious Metal SAG Awards Showdown: Jennifer Garner Vs. Naomi Watts
Way to up the glamour factor, ladies. Nothing like a hit of precious metal done really well at an awards show, right? So we must all bow down and thank Jennifer Garner and Naomi Watts for providing that high-voltage hit for all of us at last night's SAG Awards. Jennifer was more fabulous than we've seen her in years, wearing a strapless gold Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2013 gown. The actress worked it with soft, burnished curls framing her face, gorgeous glowing skin and a rose lip — hallelujah, because her hair and makeup normally lets her down. A matching dull gold clutch and David Webb jewelry completed the look. Look at the embroidery, beading and sequins on the gown. It's so beautifully done and such a strong statement to make — I'm effing amazing and I know it and so do you. Naomi was the silver to Jen's gold but no less exquisite. Soft waves swept over one shoulder a beautiful matte pink totally complemented her shimmering, intricate, crystal and silver embroidered Marchesa gown. And like Jennifer, she also matched her little box clutch with her gown with the addition of Faberge jewelry, of which her sapphire ring made our eyes pop (look at her left hand, helpfully placed on her hip.) We really can't choose who looked best, so you're going to have to vote and do it for us.

Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Kaley Cuoco Reign Top 10 Worst-Dressed List At SAG Awards
This is totally ruining our high over the SAG Awards best-dressed list, but it has to be done. Also, how is it possible that Anne Hathaway swings so wildly between getting it so right, and so wrong — nothing in between. Sadly, she got it so wrong at the awards show last night wearing a twee, frothy, half-sheer Giambattista Valli Couture dress that just didn't do anything for us apart from making us say, "Why, Anne?" We do love her accessories in the form of her Jimmy Choo 'Kalpa' heels and her black Edie Parker clutch. We may be a tad harsh on Jessica Chastain as well — but it's only because her people never seem to get fits right on her. The red McQueen gown maybe a beautiful, but it looks like it wants to crush her breasts, and to add insult to injury, it looks rumpled. We really don't like the Harry Winston diamond necklace on her, either. It's the wrong piece for the dress. Also, twee and in the same color, was Kaley Cuoco whose red lace Ramona Kaveeza dress made her look like a doily, even though her red velvet Giuseppe Zanotti heels gave her cred. Does anyone else think the new haircut with the bangs looks like a wig?
Rose Byrne was the wrong woman for her Valentino Resort 2013 gown because the fabric and the ruffles made her look matronly. And while her hair and makeup were sweet and retro, Claire Danes went in the opposite direction with deep maroon lips that just looked incredibly harsh on her. They put us off, and her black Givenchy didn't exactly impress either. Neither did Julianne Moore's Chanel Couture Fall 2011 gown, which like Jessica's, had a major fit problem as well. Let's just say the bodice took its cues from the name of the awards show and made her look like she was sagging. There's more on the list, so carry on to the gallery to have a look.

Cooking and Baking
ISO Pink frosting w/o artificial coloring for cupcakes, please?
I'll be babysitting a couple of kids on Friday (3 and 5 yo girls) and I thought decorating Valentine's cupcakes would be a fun if messy afternoon diversion. I have a good recipe for strawberry cupcakes, but most of the frosting recipes that make pink frosting seem to have some sort of fake coloring added. While I can't really avoid the coloring in the decorations, I prefer not to give kids artificial ingredients.
I'm taking the cupcakes already baked (will bake tomorrow), and the frosting separately, along with heart sprinkles, conversation hearts, freeze dried strawberries, etc.
The cupcakes are delicious, and I'd like the frosting to be too!
Any recipes or links to recipes that you've tried would be much appreciated.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

COLUMBIA — South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley agreed to pay a $3,500 fine for not properly identifying all donors to her 2010 campaign, according to a consent order signed this week with the State Ethics Commission.
Haley also agreed to forward money from eight donors, totaling nearly $4,200, to the Children's Trust Fund and reimburse the ethics agency $2,000 for its investigation.
The combined $9,677 will be paid from her 2014 campaign account, her senior adviser Tim Pearson confirmed Tuesday. Haley has not officially announced if she'll seek a second term.
The order resolves a complaint filed in July 2011 by a state Democratic Party employee regarding campaign filings that did not show the addresses of 45 donors and the occupations of more than 2,300. Under the agreement, the commission issued a public warning to the Republican governor for not complying with the law.
State law requires campaigns to know the names and addresses of all donors before depositing their checks, and to report them as part of their online disclosures. Campaigns don't have to post donors' occupations online but must be able to produce them from their own records.
The commission's investigation determined Haley's campaign had addresses on file for all but eight donors. The address of only one donor who gave $200 could not be identified by last December. The campaign still does not know the occupation of several hundred donors.
Haley's campaign "admits that her campaign unintentionally and inadvertently did not comply with the strict requirements" of state law, reads the order, signed Monday.
Commission Director Herb Hayden said Tuesday it marks the first time a governor has been cited for such violations.
The agency frequently gets complaints about incomplete donor information, though they usually involve a couple of omissions, he said.
"Normally, it's not to the extent of this case, simply because of the amount of contributions. Most people don't collect the contributions that you do in a governor's race," he said.
The order notes that the $4,177 from donors whose addresses weren't known within the required seven days of receipt represents a fraction of 1 percent of the $3.2 million the campaign received over the three quarters questioned.
Even considering all 45 donations, it's a small percentage, Hayden said.
Pearson, Haley's 2010 campaign manager, said the campaign made its best effort to report all the required information from more than 7,000 donors.
"We were successful in the vast majority of cases and unsuccessful on eight," said Pearson, who is also Haley's former chief of staff. He said Haley's team will continue working through the reporting process and make "significant and diligent efforts to complete the requirements of campaign reporting."
The consent order comes in lieu of a public hearing.
State Democratic Party spokeswoman Kristin Sosanie noted Haley reimbursed the state about $9,600 last fall for improperly using state planes for what was considered political purposes. At the time, her spokesman told The Associated Press the office did not realize that a clause in the state budget barred the planes' use for news conferences and bill signings.
"Governor Haley continues to prove that she is either unable or completely unwilling to play by the rules," Sosanie said. "It's time for Nikki Haley to stop thinking she gets to play by her own set of rules, and start living up to ethical standards."

Step 1: The pattern
Fold and rub along the line so that the carbon from the pencil lead transfers to the other side. This gives you a symmetrical heart.
Darken the faint outline, too, so that it is easily visible. Make any corrections as needed.
Now you have the paper pattern for the heart.
Step 2: The plastic
Make rough cuts to approximately match the lines of your pattern, then remove material closer (or on the line) on a second pass. If you have a jigsaw you might be able to do it in one pass, but I was using a standard hack saw.
Then use a rough file or rasp to remove more material and smoothen the edges. Then use this as a pattern to make a copy on the second sheet of plastic: I used a sheet of opaque red perspex 3mm thick.
So there should be two sheets of plastic, each cut in the shape of a heart.

County kids get their kicks
In Rutherford County the high school soccer programs get their fair share of attention and glory. But those players didn't spawn once they entered the high school hallways, they started when their jerseys fell to their knees and shin guards weren't much bigger than a business card.
Friday night at the Rutherford County Soccer Association fields behind Isothermal, the little ones were out in full force. They may not have been the most skilled, but it's just the beginning for these young soccer players.
Nearby, RCSA board member Bernardo Martinez was camped under a blue tent helping parents sign up their children for the upcoming fall season,
"This program is about fun. There's competition but it's more recreation," Martinez said. "Our goal is to get the word out to parents to have their kids come play soccer. Once they try it, 99 percent of kids like it and want to come back. That's what we want."
Martinez's sons, one 7 and the other 14, both play soccer through RCSA. Martinez himself found his way onto the board three years ago after helping the association set up goals for nightly games. Now he prides himself along with the rest of the board in creating top-notch soccer players in Rutherford County.
"The main thing is to recruit as many kids as we can and encourage them to play soccer," Martinez said. "The goal for myself and the association is to create professional players. Everything starts here. And so as the kids like it we move them up step-by-step. At that point we can supply the high schools with players."
Martinez mentioned the lack of high-quality players that are used to fill rosters at area high schools.
"The schools lack top-quality players. Either they haven't played before or they have very little experience," Martinez said.
With that in mind, RSCA is encouraging parents to bring their kids to the fields, sign them up and let them try the game for themselves. They're confident the kids will continue to come back for more and become a player that can represent their school and county well.
If a player feels they are ready for a challenge that the recreational leagues can't provide, they have the option of playing on the county travel team, the Rutherford Rumble. The Rumble teams range from under-10 to under-18.
"If a kid starts to grow bored and it's too easy for them we encourage them to play on the travel teams," Martinez said. "For being a small town we're doing we are doing well."
"Once we get the word out and get the kids playing at a high level we can travel out of town and represent the county," Martinez added. "When we go to Charlotte we want to be noticed."
However, in order to maintain the programs, parents are needed to sign up their kids and provide the children to coach.
"Last fall we we're very concerned because we got less than 200 players, which was a big drop," Martinez said. "When we have the kids we can start involving the parents with volunteering and helping the association. It only grows from there."
Friday was the final night for fall registration but parents can visit the RCSA website through www.leaguelineup.com for an online form or visit the association's Rutherford County Soccer Association Facebook page for details about upcoming events.
"I would thank them for allowing their kid to play and encourage them to keep signing them up," Martinez said when asked what he would tell parents that sign up their children."
But like every sport, it may not be right for everyone. However, it's worth a shot.
"I'll tell [parents] to let the child decide," Martinez said. "If they like it, it's worth it. If they don't like then there's nothing we can do about it."
Among the soccer education the association values, safety is a top priority as all coaches and volunteers are subject to a background check before coming on board.
"We always make sure we have the right people out here to make sure it's safe," Martinez said. "If they don't qualify than we don't use them."
Fall registration is ongoing.

Texas Jobless Rate Drops
By KRWG News
Texas – The Texas unemployment rate for February has slipped to 8.2 percent.
The Texas Workforce Commission on Friday announced the seasonally adjusted figure compares to a statewide metro jobless rate of 8.3 percent in January.
Nationally, unemployment stood at 8.9 percent last month.
Commission Chairman Tom Pauken says hiring in the professional and business services industry rose in February, with companies adding about 14,500 jobs.
Texas total nonfarm employment was up by 22,700 jobs last month, for a total gain of 254,200 jobs from a year ago.
The Midland area had the state's lowest unemployment rate, at 4.8 percent. The highest unemployment for Texas was in Edinburg-McAllen-Mission, at 12.2 percent.

A concept explored by the power generation industry 50 years ago is being dusted off by NASA as a possible way of enabling jet engines to operate to higher speeds, to power hypersonic vehicles and reusable spaceplanes.
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy bypass engine would electromagnetically extract energy from air entering the inlet, slowing the flow and allowing the turbine engine to operate to a higher Mach number.
The electricity generated could be used to power aircraft systems or to electromagnetically accelerate the engine's exhaust flow, increasing thrust. One concept developed in Russia, called Ajaxa, was outlined in a paper in 2001 by its authors Claudio Bruno at the University of Rome and Paul Czysz at St Louise University, Missouri.
NASA has begun studying MHD energy bypass engine concepts under its revitalised hypersonics research programme, aimed at developing technology for a two-stage space access vehicle. The MHD energy bypass cycle could make it easier to design a combined-cycle propulsion system by allowing a turbine to accelerate the vehicle to hypersonic speed where a scramjet would take over.
"The idea is to extend the operating range of turbomachinery to higher Mach numbers," says Isaiah Blankson, a senior scientist at NASA Glenn Research Center. "We would put a device ahead of the engine to ionise the flow, extract the energy then put it back in the combustor."
By slowing the flow entering the inlet, the operating range of existing turbine engines could be extended to M7, from today's maximum of around M3. Extracting 30-40% of the total energy of the flow would reduce its speed by a half to three-quarters, he says, allowing the turbine engine to operate at M2.8.
The MHD energy bypass cycle was investigated, but not implemented, by the power generation industry in the USA and elsewhere in the 1950s and 1960s as a way of increasing electricity output at peak times. At that time, ionisation was achieved by seeding the flow with cesium. Later electron beams were proposed.
NASA's idea is to exploit recent advances in high-voltage pulse power systems to increase ionization efficiency. "We need a very efficient way of ionizing the flow field. If we can increase ionisation efficiency by 40% we can be very competitive with classic over-and-under turbine-based combined-cycle engines."
Over the next two years, NASA Glenn plans computational and experimental work aimed at sizing an MHD energy bypass engine capable of M7 to see if it is a feasible way of powering the air-breathing first stage of a reusable spaceplane.

SAS Group's Spanair operation generated dismal second-quarter financial results which more than doubled first-half losses to SKr515 million ($82 million).
The Spanish airline had been put up for sale but SAS Group reclaimed it in June after the attempted divestment failed to attract sufficient interest.
In its second-quarter results today SAS Group reveals that Spanair lost SKr197 million in the three months to 30 June, compared with positive earnings of SKr88 million for the same period last year.
SAS Group attributes the poor performance to higher fuel costs and weaker yield, adding that economic conditions and increased Spanish domestic capacity - notably in the Canary Islands - contributed to the difficulties.
Passenger revenue for the first half was only slightly up at SKr3.98 billion.
Spanair is undergoing a restructuring programme which will slash fleet capacity and cut the number of staff.
SAS Group's other affiliate carriers also struggled over the first half, with only Finland's Blue1 generating earnings close to those last year.
Latvia's Air Baltic made a loss of SKr105 million while Norwegian regional operator Wideroe's earnings fell by 86% to SKr17 million.

Experimental Particle Physics
Samya Zain, Ph.D., leads the experimental particle physics effort at Susquehanna. She is a member of the ATLAS collaboration at Large Hadron collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and has been involved with the physics analysis when at CERN, and now though the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid.
The LHC at CERN is located between the Swiss French boarder just outside Genvea, Switzerland. LHC is built in a circular tunnel 27 km in circumference, buried underground around 50 to 175 m. The LHC is designed to collide two counter rotating beams of protons at energy of 7 TeV per beam. LHC is home to six particle physics detectors, located in large caverns at the intersection points. The A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) detector and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS), are general purpose particle detectors. A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) and LHCb have more specific roles and the last two detectors TOTEM and LHCf are small and are for very specialized physics research. With the LHC the aim is to continue to push our understanding of the fundamental structure of the universe. The results from the LHC are expected to shed light on topics like, dark energy, dark matter, extra dimensions, Higgs and Supersymmetry.
The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is a global collaboration of more than 140 computing centers in 33 countries. The mission of the WLCG project is to build and maintain data storage and analysis infrastructure for the entire high energy physics community that will use the LHC. The WLCG service is available to all members of the LHC experiment collaborations. In addition, through the Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE), Open Science Grid (OSG) and other grid projects, many other applications and their user communities can make use of the grid infrastructure.
The Open Science Grid is used as the primary infrastructure in the United States. The particle physics research group at Susquehanna University is in the process of setting up an Open Science Grid Cluster, which at present consists of approximately 40 CPU cores and 24 Terabytes of data storage. Our super cluster provides Grid infrastructure support for the ATLAS particle physics research by simulating how particles travel in the accelerator. With this information, our team and others at CERN and around the world will be able to determine detector specifications and efficiencies of detecting particles that will help to calibrate the detector parameters to optimize results from the experiments.

Muncie, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Zach Terrell threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns as the Western Michigan Broncos defeated the Ball State Cardinals, 42-38, in a Mid-American Conference battle at Scheumann Stadium.
Terrell connected on 20-of-29 passes and was intercepted once for the Broncos (3-3, 1-1 MAC), while Jarvion Franklin added 161 yards and three scores on the ground. Daniel Braverman tallied 96 yards and two touchdowns on 10 receptions and Corey Davis finished with 154 yards and a score on six catches.
As for the Cardinals (1-5, 0-2), Jack Milas threw for 326 yards and four touchdowns on 26-of-42 passing. Jahwan Edwards rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown and Jordan Williams recorded game-highs of 11 receptions and 179 yards to go with two scores.
The Cardinals took a 7-0 lead when Milas connected on a 32-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 5:20 left in the first quarter.
Terrell would answer back for the Broncos, with a 52-yard touchdown strike to Braverman, tying the score at 7-7.
Milas and Williams would strike again, this time on a 17-yard touchdown, pushing Ball State back in front.
Milas also connected with Dylan Curry on a three-yard touchdown pass which pushed the lead to 21-7 with just over eight minutes left in the second quarter.
Edwards added to the Cardinals advantage with a two-yard touchdown run with 3:36 left in the half.
The Broncos finally responded with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Terrell to Davis.
Scott Secor would push the Cardinals lead to 31-14 with a 28-yard field goal just before intermission.
Franklin scored on touchdown runs of two and four yards in the third quarter as the Broncos continued to chip away.
Milas would answer back with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Mabon to give the Cardinals a 10-point lead.
However, Franklin scored on a 54-yard touchdown run midway through the final frame and Braverman hauled in what turned out to be the winning score, on a 12-yard pass from Terrell with just over a minute remaining.
Ball State won the battle of time of possession by almost five minutes, but lost their fourth straight game.

In 2010, two hackers discovered a hole in AT&T's website that allowed them to obtain email addresses and SIM card identifiers for iPads using that network. After much legal wrangling, their case was vacated, but you would think the debacle would weigh heavily on minds at Apple. Fast forward to a few days ago.

Hacking and heavy metal
I wrote an article about the cross-influence between hacking and heavy metal. It covers the use of alternative media, like BBS and AE lines, to convey a hidden truth that is shared between metalheads and hackers. The article is entitled "Hacker Metal" and it is published in Perfect Sound Forever webzine. For those who remember the early web, Perfect Sound Forever is an e-zine that started in 1993 and has run continuously since… Read More
The death of "hacking"
The net is still buzzing with the statement by the Full Disclosure list manager, but most people have forgotten this essential part: There is no honour amongst hackers any more. There is no real community. There is precious little skill. The entire security game is becoming more and more regulated. This is all a sign of things to come, and a reflection on the sad state of an industry that should never have.. Read More
From the early days of the public internet: The reflector bomb works on the simple principle that mail sent with spoofed addresses will bounce to the victim.

Feed your paranoia: Palantir
Ever since Neuromancer, people have wanted real cyberspace — a visual display that correlates all the information out there and shows you the underlying patterns, no longer hidden by visual appearance of disunity. Here's one stab at it: The day Fikri drives to Orlando, he gets a speeding ticket, which triggers an alert in the CIA's Palantir system. An analyst types Fikri's name into a search box and up pops a wealth of.. Read More
AT&T hackers warned of vulnerability, now proven right
Hackers of the old-school type used to claim that they hacked to learn, and when they did break into computers owned by others, they left behind no traces. Rather, they said, the hack was a warning, like a canary in a coal mine, that the system was insecure. Corporate America has rarely liked this approach. For one thing, it endangers jobs. If the head assistant manager for security finds out his system got.. Read More

If you are here looking and reading, then you soon realize that children's tumors of the CNS are relatively rare. It is difficult for individual doctors, hospitals, or centers to specialize in treatment of these specific diseases considering the few cases that they encounter. A search for specialists in pediatric neuro-oncology is recommended. You may be looking for a second opinion or want to investigate treatment centers that focus on a particular cancer type or offer clinical trials specific to a child's disease.
The division of Neurosurgery at Nicklaus Children's Hospital, formerly Miami Children's Hospital, was founded in the hospital's early beginnings and offers experience and expertise. The success of our Neurosurgery team and program place it at the forefront of pediatric neurological surgery.
Although geographical location may limit choices, some parents and their child with cancer may decide to travel great distances for a therapy or evaluation and then return home for follow up by local professionals. You can tap into current medical technology, better resources, and psychosocial support... in person or via the Internet.
Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium
A network of medical centers, funded by NCI, that will evaluate promising treatments for children with brain malignancies.
Find information related to specific cancer types, treatments, as well as tips on navigating the healthcare system, and how to get support.
The following organizations provide aid to families that decided to travel when seeking cancer treatment.
If a family has to take their child far from home for treatment, they should speak with hospital social services about transportation and accommodations. Airlines may offer courtesy fares. Special lodgings may be available near the hospital.
The Air Care Alliance
A nationwide association of humanitarian flying organizations dedicated to community service whose activities involve health care, patient transport, and related kinds of public benefit flying.
Corporate Angel Network

Need some info about Sonor Force 1001 drum kit
Hi all. About 5-6 years back I bought a used 5 piece Sonor Force 1001 kit for my son to learn on. Then last year we got a sweet deal on a 5 piece Tama rockstar kit, so he switched to that, and the Sonor kit has collected dust. Now he is in a successful band playing big and small venues, and I can really see the value of having a smaller kit like the Sonor for certain events his band plays (he's not old enough to drive yet, so I have to haul all this stuff around!).
Anyway, we got the Sonor kit out and set it up, but when played side-by-side with the Tama kit, it sounds pretty crappy. Is the Sonor Force 1001 just a poor quality kit, or will some new heads make it sound good? I don't want to spend money on heads, etc. if it is not going to help.
If it is junk, what is a decent quality smaller kit that I could pick up?
P.S. I'm not a drummer myself, so please correct my mistakes and explain any lingo you might use. Thanks!
Re: Need some info about Sonor Force 1001 drum kit
Heads is the correct term, and yes, they make a biiiig difference! Have the heads on it ever been replaced? If not, I highly recommend you go out and pick up new top/bottom (proper term is "batter" and "resonant") heads for each drum ASAP :) Hopefully one of you can tune drums, but even if not, Bob Gatzen and many other dudes have great tuning videos on YouTube.
As for selection: first, you need to measure each drum's diameter (not including the hoop- basically, measure from the inside of the hoop on the top of the drum to the other side) to figure out what sizes the kit is. Common sizes are 10", 12", 13", 14", 16", 20", and 22". As for selection, it probably doesn't matter what brand you go with, so here's a little table to help:
For batter tom and kick heads, basically choose a clear head if you want more attack/clear pitch, or coated if you want more of a thump/smooth tone.
Re: Need some info about Sonor Force 1001 drum kit
Re: Need some info about Sonor Force 1001 drum kit
Yes, new heads and tuning will do the trick. Another thing that may be throwing you guys off is the sizes of the drums. Are the drums the same size as the tamas? Either way, heads along with proper tuning goes a long way.
Choosing the right heads will also help significantly. What styles of music is he playing? For example: if he's playing metal and/or hard rock, one ply heads would probably not be a good choice. A really good all around Tom batter head ( IMO) are Evans G2 heads.

Internet searches for the company's Zhu Zhu Pets is off the charts today -- Cyber Monday -- the biggest online shopping day of the year.
By late this morning Google labeled Zhu Zhu Pets as "on fire" after thousands of users punched the toy's name into the search engine, making it the fourth-most searched phrase today.
Now the bad news for parents and even the folks at Cepia LLC: the toys are out of stock everywhere.
So kiddies, how 'bout a Cabbage Patch Kid, instead? Those, too, were insanely popular. Once upon a time.

The Marshall Islands Inaugurates a New President
Washington, D.C. (November 3, 2009) – After two previously unsuccessful votes of no-confidence in the Marshall Islands Nitijela (Parliament), President Litokwa Tomeing was removed on October 21, 2009, as the Fourth President of the Marshall Islands after a third vote of no-confidence. The former President continues in the Nitijela as the Senator from Wotje Atoll until the end of his elected term.
On the inauguration on November 2, 2009, the former Speaker of the Nitijela, Zedkaia Jurelang, one of the five Senators from Majuro Atoll, was sworn in as the Fixth President of the Marshall Islands. Alvin Jacklick, one of the two Senators from Jaluit Atoll, was sworn in as the new Speaker, and a new Cabinet was also sworn in.
The Marshall Islands Government operates under a Westminster form of government.

The technology market continues to recompose itself in front of our eyes. Apple Apple picks up music-device fashion brand Beats, Google signs up a new leader for its Google Google Glass launch plucked from a string of marketing tasks at the intersection of technology and fashion (but with more fashion than tech).
As TechCrunch reports, Google has appointed Ivy Ross, latterly with Art.com, to lead Google Glass. Ross also has a background in retail. She had this to say on Google+:
Meanwhile, as we all know now Apple has acquired headphone maker Beats, an acquisition that puzzles tech and sound people alike, because Beats is not a great product. Strongly suggesting the buy was a mistake, Jonathan Brill here on Forbes also says:
software is dead, app value is diluted, and (….) connected devices + good subscription apps like Beats are the new high margin business du jour for mobile platform operators.
I'm not sure I understand the last bit of that statement, but hedging against a decline in apps revenue is a good move. Although a recent GigaOm report suggests the app economy is set to expand still, quite dramatically, it's difficult to see where apps-on-an-open-platform can add more value.
The API business – I quoted Mashery's Delyn Simons on this here on Forbes a day or so back – is overloading apps developers with rich promises but there are too many under-delivered platform projects that are closing off opportunity at short notice.
The types of apps projects that look deeply interesting right now are those that have a deep market impact, like CIGNA's collaboration with Samsung to deploy health services integrated with insurance, across Samsung's global smartphone base. This looks like a game-changer and a deep structural app project compared to many apps in the apps stores.
Far more likely the apps community will make its money from the expected 200,000+ closed API projects that will be in place by 2016.
That leaves Apple and Google in need of a new avenues to keep their innovation-hungry staff busy and to extend the computing paradigm for future revenues sources.
Google is clearly indicating that it does not want Glass to be seen as a geek-only product, even though it has held the price steady at a very geeky $1500. Apple is prepared to dilute its own brand by buying into another company's design values a profound move from Tim Cook who has also hired serious fashion and wearables talent. Both companies are signalling that functional fashion is the next frontier.

Retirement and College Savings Plans - Introduction
Retirement and College Savings Plans
People belonging to the largest generation in history, the so-called Baby Boomers, have finally begun to reach 59.5 in 2005. Over the next 18 years, 78 million people will reach this age. Why is turning 59.5 so important if the majority of people don't retire until they are 65 or older? This age marks a life milestone, when individuals may begin to take distributions from several types of retirement accounts without penalty.
One of the primary goals for investors is to save enough money for their retirement years. What if they haven't saved enough by age 62, 63, 64, 65? How do they know if the amount they have saved will carry them through their so-called golden years, especially if they begin withdrawals at age 59.5?
There are a number of factors for your clients to consider when planning for a worry-free retirement. For instance, a person who retires today at the age of 62 will need to save enough money to pay expenses, support lifestyle expectations, perhaps build an estate to leave behind, for 25 to 30 years! At the same time, a dollar today will be worth about $.42 when that same 62 year old turns 92. So, not only are people in the U.S. living longer, requiring them to save additional money for those extra years, but they also need to plan ahead for the eroding effect inflation will have on their purchasing power over time.
The government has created a number of retirement plans to help U.S. citizens achieve their retirement goals and to lessen the impact of inflation on their assets. In this section, we explore several tax-deductible and tax-deferred retirement plans and accounts and their role in developing retirement strategies for your future clients.
Paying for college has also become an increasingly worrisome prospect for many families in the U.S. While inflation erodes retirement savings at roughly 2-4% per year, the cost of a four-year undergraduate college program has been rising steadily at a rate of 5-6% or more per year. Congress has also recognized the need for college savings plans that alleviate at least some of the costs associated with college savings while providing methods and incentives to help families save for future higher education costs. The last portion of this section is devoted to these new college savings plans.

As of Saturday, May 19, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
STILLMORE — Westwood baseball coach Al Timmerman had one request of his team during his pre-game speech Friday before the opener of its GISA Class A Final Four series against David Emanuel.
"I told them, 'Let's go out, start fast and take the pressure off,' " he said.
Well, wish granted.
Westwood jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first inning thanks to Caleb Morrell's three-rum bomb, then cruised to an 11-1 win that only went five innings thanks to the 10-run mercy rule.
"What a confidence booster when you can start like that," Timmerman said. "It was a definite shot in the arm, and we just piled it on from there."
The win now puts the Wildcats one step closer to a rematch of last year's state title series with defending state champ and neighboring rival Crisp Academy, which swept the No. 1-ranked team in the Georgia's Class A, Bethlehem Christian, on Friday to secure its spot in next week's best-of-three tilt. But first up is Game 2 today at 11 a.m., followed by Game 3, if necessary.
Timmerman, for one, hopes it isn't.
"It's definitely doable," the coach said when asked if he and his kids had sweep on their minds. "I think what we did in Game 1 set the tone for this series. I've always believed that if you can win Game 1, it takes so much pressure off your team and allows them to play a little looser. Not too loose, just looser."
But visiting Westwood didn't just win the opener on DEA's homefield in Stillmore — the Wildcats made a statement the Eagles didn't want to hear.
Douglas Nobles, who's taking his talents to Georgia Southern after this season, shut down DEA from the opening pitch as he allowed just three hits and struck out nine in a complete-game effort. Nobles, the team's leading hitter, also jacked a home run of his own and finished with two hits. Morrell, along with Mitch Good, Mason Worsham and Tyler Classon each finished with two hits, while Nobles and Morrell's home runs were the only extra-base knocks.
"We just strung together hit after hit; nothing fancy, just good small ball," said Timmeman, whose team improved to 18-3 after winning their third game in a row. "We hit well, and that left us feeling good about our chances (to win the series)."
Especially if Classon, a freshman who bats at the bottom of the order, keeps producing the way he has since the playoffs started. He's now 8-for-10 in his last three games.
"It's great," Timmerman said of Classon's emergence in the postseason. "He's really come through for us. His bat is hotter than anyone's right now."
Morrell will get the start on the mound today, and if Game 3 is necessary, he and Nobles could both see action again. GISA rules state that one pitcher can't go more than 10 innings in a series, and Nobles, Westwood's ace, only went five Friday, meaning he still has five left.
The even better news for the Wildcats is that DEA ace Jason Aswerthy, who won both Game 1s for the Eagles in their first two state playoff series, is likely done after Westwood's bats battered him in the opener.
"Our confidence is high right now," Timmerman said. "We're halfway to our goal."
