This week I noted that Google had improved their site search
offering and so thought I'd try it out. It actually looked very good
and all seemed to work fine. I then did a search of the site using
it and was a touch unhappy with the results. Like doing a search for
"Cunningham" it display 1-10 results but didn't tell you how many
total results it had found.
I then got an email asking me if I had any information on a place
name. So I used the new Google search for that name and it didn't
find anything. I thought just out of curiosity that I'd use our old
Live Search to see what it could find and it found one entry.
Mmmm... so I then went on to do a search with Google for another
name and it found 8 results. Using the Live Search it found 342
results. I then did a number of other searches using both search
engines and without exception Live Search found many more than
Google did.
And so I've decided to stick with Live Search for our site search
engine :-)
"Aois - The
Celtic Community" - is our new community site which we've been
working on for some time now. I should explain the whole system is
made up of a variety of modules to which we'll eventually add an
overall interface to bring everything together.
week we're able to announce the first stage of this project is now
ready for use which is the vBulletin message forum system. While
we're still working on adding more functionality we figure it's now
solid enough to let you try out the messaging system. Also included
you'll find the picture gallery, project planning facility,
calendar, blog and rss feed. There are also elements of social
networking and you can create a buddy list and your own private
message forum. We have created a few public message forums to get
you started.
While you test
out all the features we will be adding new facilities during the
next few weeks and we've still to customise it to our own branded
look. We have a variety of plugins and templates to add to it such
as an arcade system and others such as delivering your own horoscope
and even a Radio and TV player :-)
The index page is on our Scotchat domain where you'll see a very
different type of page from our normal one. Should you decide to
make this your new homepage you can still get to lots of the
Electric Scotland menus from within our new menu system. Things will
also change on that page as well as we get ramped up.
I might add that a new header has been produced for the Electric
Scotland site with a button included for the Aois community so it
will always be easy to find.
I hope you will enjoy this new system and we'd certainly welcome
your feedback. We have created a forum "Ask the Seneschal" where you
can report any problems and suggest added features. Steve May will
mostly be monitoring this forum seeing as he's the techie :-)
In compliance with safety for children we ask for your birthday when
you register and that's to allow us to catch any children entering
the system. Where we find them we'll ask that they provide a parents
email address and we'll then email the parent telling them of the
service and asking for their approval before we allow their child to
use the system.
There is also a Spam feature so if you report that someone is
spamming then we'll be able to quickly remove their posts and ban
them from the system.
We can also add
Moderators to help manage the system so if someone that posts
regularly in our public forums would like to help moderate one of
them do let us know.
To join the
service you will need to register as a new user and once completed
we will email you at the email address you provided asking you to
click a link in the email to verify you are who you say you are.
This email will get to you within seconds or at worst within 5
minutes so do look for that and if it doesn't appear check your spam
folder. Should you still not get it feel free to email me and I can
manually verify you but hope that won't be necessary. This is just
our attempt to ensure only genuine people get into the community.
And so... to get started visit
http://www.scotchat.org and we hope you enjoy the service :-)
Two new books started this week, "Arbroath and its Abbey" and
"Scotland's Influence on Civilization" for which see below.
I might add that these new books are really hard to ocr into the
site as they're using a slightly different font and so there are
many errors which all have to be manually corrected and I'm sure
I'll have missed a number of errors. Hopefully this won't prevent
you from enjoying them.
We've done a large upgrade to our ScotGenealogy web site adding many
new features and in the days ahead we'll also be customising this
site to make it a little friendlier to use. You can see this site at
This is a Family Tree program and we've also created a couple of
forums within Aois specifically for that site.
Some of the stories in here are just parts of a larger story so do
check out the site for the full versions. You can always find the
link in our "What's New" section at the link at the top of this
newsletter or on our site menu.
Scotland on TV
Visit their site at
Medics of the Glen is a series made for stv (Scottish Television)
just a few years ago. It's currently being shown on
www.scotlandontv.tv - we're up to episode six of fifteen right now.
The remit of the series was to cover the challenges facing medicine
in the remote, beautiful area of north-west Scotland and over a
period of four months the production team was based on the Isle of
Skye working with a GP practice and the local hospital. Whilst
there, they soon appreciated that both the distance from specialist
facilities at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness and the harshness of
the terrain and the climate - made for dramatic medicine. For
instance, if you live in a city and have stomach pains, a GP (family
doctor) may undertake a time of careful watching but if you're many
miles away, then the chances are an air ambulance will be called!
The action in Medics of the Glen is played out against a background
of dramatic and stunning scenery - so even if programming with a
medical theme is ' not your thing', it's worth taking a look, just
to get a feel for life in remote Scotland in the twenty-first
The link here
will take you to the most recent episode, but episodes one to five
are there too if you want to start from the top.
This weeks Flag is compiled by Jim Lynch and as always lots of
interesting articles. He mentions that he's got another two young
compilers for The Flag so we'll look forward to seeing what they
bring to our attention :-)
In an article in The Flag was quoted...
Welcoming the publication of opinion poll data in the Daily
Telegraph which shows the SNP Government enjoying approval ratings
of a majority and Alex Salmond far and away the favoured choice for
First Minister SNP MSP Alasdair Allan said: "A year into government
and the honeymoon continues, on the back of solid policy delivery.
"Earlier this month, some of our key measures took effect ~ez_ndash~
including freezing the Council Tax to deliver relief for hard
pressed households, cutting business rates to boost the economy and
jobs, abolishing prescription charges to end the tax on ill health
in this 60th anniversary year of the NHS, and scrapping the graduate
endowment to restore free education in Scotland.
"We have also abolished bridge tolls and are delivering 1,000 more
police officers on Scotland's streets.
"These latest poll figures show that the people of Scotland trust
Alex Salmond and the SNP government to deliver.
"We are repaying that trust by breathing new life into Scottish
democracy, and strengthening our public services.
"With the vast majority of people viewing Alex Salmond as standing
up for Scotland, and as a strong leader in touch with the concerns
of the people of Scotland, it is clear that as we approach the first
anniversary of the SNP's election success, the Scottish people know
they made the right decision."

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Hiroki Kuroda wasn't as upset about losing his bid for baseball history as he would have been had he given up runs in a tight game.
Kuroda took a perfect game into the eighth inning and settled for a one-hitter, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.
The right-hander retired the first 21 batters before Mark Teixeira lined his 70th pitch into the right field corner for a double leading off the eighth.
"My main concern was that he was the leadoff hitter in that inning, it was a 2-2 count and I didn't want to walk him because I didn't have that big of a lead," Kuroda said through a translator. "I was concentrating more on not allowing any runs. I wasn't really nervous, but I felt the pressure from the fans because they were expecting something big."
Catcher Russell Martin said the slider he called for didn't miss its target by much.
"Teixeira's first at-bat he swung over a slider, but the pitch he hit was a little bit higher in the zone than that one," Martin said. "But you've still got to give credit to Teixeira for putting a good swing on it. As soon as he hit it and I heard the sound, I kind of put my head down. There went the perfect game—but at that point, you've still got to win the game. It was an awesome performance."
Teixeira was the only baserunner for the Braves, who had flown across the country after waiting through a 1-hour, 50-minute rain delay in a 7-6, 17-inning victory over Houston on Sunday—the longest game ever at Turner Field.
"We don't want to have a perfect game thrown against us, but Kuroda was great tonight—probably the best pitching performance we've seen all year," Teixeira said. "His stuff was great—a mid-90s fastball, putting it exactly where he wanted it, sinking his fastball at 90 to get you to ground out or miss. He probably made one mistake all night, and I just got lucky enough to put a good swing on it. It definitely was the most hittable pitch I saw all night."
Kuroda (5-6) was attempting to become the first Dodger to throw a no-hitter since Sept. 17, 1996, when countryman Hideo Nomo beat Colorado 9-0 at Coors Field.
"He was throwing 95 mph sinkers that were dropping off the table," Atlanta catcher Brian McCann said. "There was nothing we could have done. He had awesome stuff. He was phenomenal."
Kuroda, 33, signed with the Dodgers in December as a free agent after 11 seasons with Hiroshima of the Japanese Central League. He threw 91 pitches and struck out six in a game that lasted just 2 hours and 3 minutes.
"Those guys were swinging and he was able to keep his pitch count down," Martin said. "He was staying aggressive, throwing a lot of first-pitch strikes and inducing contact early in counts. It was an awesome performance."
The closest the Braves came to a baserunner before Teixeira's hit was in the seventh, when Gregor Blanco dropped a bunt to the left of the plate on Kuroda's first pitch of the inning. Rookie third baseman Blake DeWitt made a barehanded pickup and threw him out by a step.
Kuroda was sidelined 18 days because of a sore shoulder. He rejoined the rotation on July 2 and held the Astros to five hits over seven innings in a 4-1 victory. The complete game was the second in 15 starts for Kuroda, who beat the Cubs 3-0 with a four-hitter and had a career-high 11 strikeouts on June 6.
Manager Joe Torre nearly ran out of superlatives describing Kuroda's effort.
"He was close to perfect. That's the only way to describe it. You can't get much closer to being perfect than that," Torre said. "He worked fast and threw a lot of strikes, as evidenced by his pitch count at the end of the game. That was about as robotic as you've ever seen any pitcher just throw one strike after another. He was like a machine. He kept us on the edge of our seats."
The win moved the Dodgers in a tie for first in the NL West with idle Arizona, although they are still a game under .500.
Jose Campillo (3-4) took a one-hitter into the fifth before the Dodgers scored their runs. The right-hander walked James Loney to open the inning, and Nomar Garciaparra drove a 1-2 pitch into the bullpen in left one out later for his second homer of the season.
Kuroda, who bunted three pitches foul with a runner at first in the third inning, sacrificed DeWitt to second after he singled. Matt Kemp drove in DeWitt with a single. Kemp is 8-for-29 with six walks since Torre switched him to the leadoff spot seven games ago.
Campillo allowed three runs and five hits over seven innings in his Dodger Stadium debut.
With only five games left before the All-Star break, the Braves (42-48) are assured of going into the break under .500 for only the third time in the last 18 seasons. It also happened in 1991 (39-40) and 2006 (40-49).
Atlanta right fielder Jeff Francoeur, who was demoted to Double-A Mississippi on Friday because of his .234 batting average, rejoined the Braves on an emergency recall after outfielder Omar Infante (right hamstring) was placed on the disabled list.
Under normal circumstances, Francoeur would have had to spend 10 days in the minors. The four-year veteran, who had four hits Sunday in his third game with Mississippi and was 7-for-13 during his three-game stint in the minors, would have been in the starting lineup against the Dodgers but was unable to get on an earlier flight.
When Torre managed the Yankees, David Cone and David Wells each pitched a perfect game at Yankee Stadium. … The last pitcher to no-hit the Braves was Randy Johnson, who threw a perfect game for Arizona on May 18, 2004, at Turner Field. … No Dodger has thrown a no-hitter at Chavez Ravine since Ramon Martinez's 7-0 gem against Florida on July 14, 1995. … Atlanta's Chipper Jones went 0-for-3, dropping his major league-leading average to .384.

When Matthew's birthday rolled around, he wasn't the least bit excited. When he awoke, he didn't feel any older. He didn't feel anymore special. He didn't feel any more loved than yesterday. When he walked down the stairs, no one spared him a few kind words for his eighteenth birthday. He obviously wasn't worth the trouble. So he made breakfast without a word, he cleaned the dishes, without a word, and he went for a walk, without a word to anyone. It's not like they would miss him anyway.
It was warm, but not too hot, probably because it was still early. Matthew inhaled, taking in the scents of everything around. He took a trip around town, heading down to the park, where he found a bench under a shady tree. His violet eyes closed, feeling the cool breeze toss his hair. A smile played about his lips. This was nice, he thought.

The specificity, efficacy and safety profiles of biologics make them good candidates for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and the significant unmet medical needs in both large and orphan indications makes this an attractive field of research for industry companies. Scientists are striving to identify novel targets and mechanisms of action, and to apply exciting new product platforms and technologies in this space. But major challenges remain in the areas of demonstrating improved efficacy over established standards of care, identifying quality preclinical research models and stratifying responder populations to improve clinical studies and applications. The 3rd Annual Biologics for Autoimmune Diseases presents a focused meeting that explores the application of new science and technology in the development of a next generation of effective and safe therapeutics in autoimmunity and inflammation.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
Emerging Targets and Mechanisms of Action
• Complement system
• Identification of novel targets for early onset diseases
• Innate immune mechanisms
• Novel mechanisms of action
• Single cell technologies for target discovery
• T cell targeting agents; T cell reprogramming
Discovery and Development of Biologics for Orphan Autoimmune Indications
• Clinical development strategies for biologics in orphan indications
• Efficacy models for biologics in rare autoimmune diseases
• Expanding indications for approved biologics into rare diseases
• Regulatory strategies; gaining accelerated approval
• Where are the new opportunities in autoimmune diseases?
Biomarker Discovery and Development
• Development of companion diagnostics
• Genomic analysis for autoimmune diseases
• Measuring performance of biologic agents versus current standards of care
• Patient selection biomarkers
• Understanding the molecular basis for the heterogeneity of autoimmune disease targets
Research Models for Preclinical and Clinical Studies
• Analytical packages for accelerated approvals
• Drug safety models
• Mitigation of safety issues: infusion reaction, infection, induction of autoimmunity
• Preclinical models of efficacy
• Trial design considerations
Applications of Emerging Biologics Platforms in Autoimmune Indications
• Antibody-drug conjugates
• Bispecifics and multispecifics
• Cell therapy
• Immunotherapy combinations
• Stem cells
• Vaccines
Scientists who wish to present their knowledge and expertise to their colleagues are asked to click here to submit an abstract. Remember to specify the conference that you are interested in and please provide your full contact information.
Deadline for submission is Friday, September 25, 2015
All proposals are subject to review by the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the highest quality of the conference program. Please note that due to limited speaking slots, preference is given to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, regulators and those from academia. Additionally, vendors/consultants who provide products and services to these biopharmaceutical companies are offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.

Stephen Woodworth (politician)
|Stephen Woodworth
|Member of the Canadian Parliament
for Kitchener Centre
|Assumed office
|Preceded by
|Karen Redman
|Personal details
January 5, 1954
Kitchener, Ontario
|Political party
|Conservative (2008-present), Liberal (1988)
Stephen Woodworth (born January 5, 1954) is a Canadian politician. He represents the electoral district of Kitchener Centre in the House of Commons of Canada for the Conservative Party of Canada.
Life and career[edit]
Woodworth was born in Kitchener, Ontario. He attended Wilfrid Laurier University and then received a law degree from the University of Western Ontario. He was called to the bar in 1979 and set up a legal practice in Waterloo, which moved in 1993 to Kitchener. He ran unsuccessfully in the 1988 federal election as a Liberal in the riding of Waterloo.[1]
Woodworth has participated in anti-abortion protests[2] and, in December 2011, called for a national debate regarding fetal rights.[3]
Prior to his election to parliament he served as a Catholic school board trustee from 1994 to 2003 in Kitchener. During this time he worked to ban public health nurses in high schools because of fears that they might discuss contraception as part of providing necessary medical care. [4]
A private members motion (Motion 312) introduced by Stephen Woodworth received a one hour debate on April 26, 2012, with a second hour of debate on September 21.[5] The bill would create a special committee to examine the legal definition of when a fetus becomes a human being,[6] though Woodworth conceded he is unlikely to get the support needed to move the initiative forward.[7]

Iran has announced plans to issue $1 billion in bonds to develop its natural resources, according to government sources.
The Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) said the bond sale proceeds will fund the development of the South Pars field, reported the official agency Press TV.
Seifollah Jashnsaz said the bonds are expected to be issued in the "coming days" since Iran's Finance Ministry and the Central Bank of Iran finally reached an agreement on the proposal.

In the late Renaissance, many northern Europeans came to Italy in search of a world of natural wonders. The Swiss Hebraist Caspar Waser reported in 1593 to a friend in Basel that he had visited everything from Jewish printing houses in Venice to Roman sites outside Naples. But he dwelled on the natural philosophers whose thrilling museums he had seen: Ulisse Aldrovandi in Bologna and Giambattista della Porta and Francesco Imperato in Naples. Waser gaped at their magnificent collections, the shelves stocked with shells, fossils, monstrous fish, and Siamese-twin animals, the ceilings hung with everything from starfish to crocodiles. He went home believing that the natural philosopher's job was to identify, and then to use, the hidden powers of stones, plants, and animals.

Miguel Gets Wild at Bowery Ballroom in New York City [EXCLUSIVE]
From shedding his clothes to covering 2Pac's "I Get Around," Miguel gets wild at his sold-out show at Bowery Ballroom in New York City.
From shedding his clothes to covering 2Pac's "I Get Around," Miguel gets wild at his sold-out show at Bowery Ballroom in New York City.
Things get steamy, and also awkward in Miguel's video for "…goingtohell," from his Wild Heart album.
Miguel is a badass in a leather jacket in his video for "NWA," featuring Kurupt.
Plus, does he still cringe over that infamous stage-dive moment...?
The road to the release of Miguel's upcoming album, 'WILDHEART,' is coming to an end. We've already heard a number of tracks including "Coffee," "NWA" and "Hollywood Dreams," and now, he's debuting three more songs.
Miguel drops a sexy themed video for his latest single Coffee and all tops come off for this one.
After serving up a hot cup of morning wood on his sensual track "Coffee (F***ing)" featuring Wale, Miguel is continuing to embrace his sexual side on the cover of his sophomore album, WILDHEART.
Miguel chops it up with the Breakfast Club to discuss his upcoming album, the drop kick lawsuit, the state of R&B, and more.
A$AP Rocky is taking his eclectic style on and off the stage a step further with his new track, "Everyday" -- all with a glass of wine in hand.
Miguel is getting ready to share his new album, WILDHEART, with the world. But before the project drops on June 30, the "Adorn" singer stopped by Hot 97 to chat with Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez, two-thirds of the Ebro in the Morning crew, about the new record, his relationship and the pressure to get married.
It looks like Miguel and John Legend will be collaborating this year, but it won't be in the recording studio. The two will join forces on a film set as the "Adorn" singer has been selected to star in a film that John is producing.

Re: Locating path to music files from ITUNES in response to Peter_WatersPeter,
When you add a song to the iTunes library, whether by ripping, purchasing, or manually adding, iTunes creates a path to it. If you later rename or move the song file or any of its containing folders, iTunes loses it, you will see the dreaded exclamation point, and you will have to manually find it.
Once songs are in the library, don't touch them except through iTunes.
Buegie Mar 18, 2009 10:59 AM
Re: Locating path to music files from ITUNES in response to Peter_WatersChanging your music folder location will direct where iTunes deposits future additions to the Library.
Each song reference has a specific and hardcoded location (both drive letter & complete path) to the actual song file so iTunes can find and play (or sync) it. Move the file, rename the file, change the path, re-map the drive it is on, shut down or remove the Drive, and iTunes will lose the file (giving you the '!' of a 'Broken Link'). Lose, move or corrupt the 'iTunes Library.itl' file and your complete Library will 'vanish'.
*It Cannot Be Stressed Enough:* If you move, edit, delete or otherwise change a music file listed in the iTunes Library with a program or tool other than iTunes, you may end up with a "!" in front of the song name or a message like "the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It is important to note that iTunes does not keep track of music file changes made outside of iTunes.
This can also happen if you store some/all of your music on an External HD (ExHD) that is not permanently mapped to a specific drive letter. Attaching another external connection (USB Flash Pen, Camera, etc.) can take that drive letter and move your ExHD down the alphabet. iTunes will get lost when this happens. Bet to initially mount any iTunes music ExHD further down the alphabet – say L: (for Lossless) or M: (for Music). This way, your ExHD drive designation should not inadvertently change.
See these Threads for ways of finding &/or removing the Broken Links:
Download this to your Desktop: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
and this, as well: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/RemoveDeadTracks.txt (right-click, save-link-as)
Rename each to FindDeadTracks.js & RemoveDeadTracks.js respectively.
Run iTunes.
1) While iTunes is running, double click FindDeadTracks.js to run the script.
It will give you a list of all the exclamation marked tracks.
2) While iTunes is running, double click RemoveDeadTracks.js to run the script.
It will remove all the exclamation marked tracks.
One step, no fuss, no muss.
Then, give Otto42 a big 'Thanks' for this one.
Best of Luck

Re: Locating path to music files from ITUNES in response to BuegieThanks for your response!
I do have my music stored on an external Hard Drive and that was about the time this started hapening (although not right away, so I didn't link the two as problematic).
What is the best solution going forward. I have about 5k songs on my hard drive and all of them are showing that !exclamation mark!.
Thanks again.
Buegie Mar 18, 2009 1:20 PM
Re: Locating path to music files from ITUNES in response to Peter_WatersYou need to determine why iTunes cannot find the song files.
Within iTunes, 'Right-Click' on any missing song and 'Get Info'. You will see the complete path of the file that iTunes is looking for. If the physical file is no longer on that path, iTunes will not find it.
You have not given us much info to go on.
More than likely, you directly changed the Drive Letter of the ExHD, or it got re-mapped due to other USB attached equipment taking its 'iTunes expected' drive letter.
You may have moved the music Folders around on the drive. That too can disrupt iTunes.
Go back to your system, do some investigating and report back with some details. Otherwise we are all just guessing on your behalf -- not too productive.
This well-written iLounge Article is a must-read for anyone considering moving their Library to a new computer or a new location. Or, just wants a better understanding of how iTunes manages your music.

Best of Luck

Fox Tactical Enhanced Fleece Tactical Jacket is rated out of 5 by 2.Rated 5 out of 5 by sean from great fleece I have three of these fleece. I always have one in my truck. These fleeces are very well made and very thick and warm. They do seem to run a little small. There is a zipper under the arm you can unzip to allow air flow, that can be a little irritating if you have a short sleeve shirt on. Overall though, an awesome fleece.Date published: 2015-02-05Rated 5 out of 5 by HAROLD/ PAMELA from Great product, third one I've ordered...Date published: 2014-02-24

 Does this fleece have the wind block feature or is the standard woven fleece fabric?

Asked by: luke

Rocket Boys: A Memoirby Homer H. Hickam
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Until I began to build and launch rockets, I didn't know my hometown was at war with itself over its children, and that my parents were locked in a kind of bloodless combat over how my brother and I would live our lives....And I didn't know that the enthalpy decrease in a converging passage could be transformed into jet kinetic energy if a divergent passage was added. The other boys discovered their own truths when we built our rockets, but those were mine.
So begins Homer "Sonny" Hickam, Jr.'s extraordinary memoir of life in Coalwood, West Virginia — a hardscrabble little company town where the only things that mattered were coal mining and high-school football. The son of the mine's superintendent and a mother determined to push her son to a better life, Sonny fell in with a group of misfits for whom the future looked uncertain. But in 1957, after watching the Soviet Satellite Sputnik streak across the sky, Sonny and his teenage friends took their future into their own hands, changing their lives and their town forever.
Looking back after a distinguished NASA career that fulfilled his boyhood ambition, Hickam shares the story of his youth, taking listeners into the life of the little mining town and the boys who came to embody both its tensions and its dreams. With the help — and sometimes hindrance — of the people of Coalwood, the Rocket Boys learn not only how to turn mine scraps into rockets that soar miles into the heavens, but how to find hope in a town that progress is passing by.
In this uniquely American memoir, Homer Hickam beautifully captures a moment when a dying town, a divided family, and a band of teenage dreamers dared to set their sights on the stars — and saw a future that the nation was just beginning to imagine.
In 1957, when 14-year-old Homer Hickam, a.k.a. Sonny, watches Sputnik fly over his hometown of Coalwood, West Virginia, his life is changed forever. Knowing he wants to be part of the space race, Sonny and his friends, set out to learn as much as they can about launching rockets. Soon, these Rocket Boys wind up enlisting the help of everyone in town. Set against a backdrop of miners' strikes, the beginning of the Cold War, and America's loss of innocence, this book reads like a novel.
The #1 New York Times bestselling memoir that inspired the film October Sky, Rocket Boys is a uniquely American memoir — a powerful, luminous story of coming of age at the dawn of the 1960s, of a mother's love and a father's fears, of a group of young men who dreamed of launching rockets into outer space...and who made those dreams come true. Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award, Homer Hickam's lush, lyrical memoir is a marvelously entertaining chronicle of triumph.
About the Author

The author of Torpedo Junction, a Military History Book-of-the-Month Club selection, as well as numerous articles for such publications as Smithsonian Air and Space and American History Illustrated, he is a retired NASA engineer, consults on aerospace projects that interest him, and lives in Huntsville, Alabama.
