|Synthetic peptide mimetic inhibitors of HIV-1 protease effectively block spread of infectious virus in acutely infected T-cells. These compounds also inhibit production of infectious virions from chronically infected T-cell lines. In order to determine the potential for drug interaction effects on antiviral activity, an HIV-1 protease inhibitor (SK&F 108922) and AZT were studied in three different in vitro models of HIV-1 infection of T-cell lines, specifically, (1) acutely infected cells infected at low multiplicity, (2) HIV-1 chronically-infected cells and (3) co-cultivations of chronically infected with non-infected cells. Upon co-treatment, these compounds demonstrated synergy in Molt4 or H9 cells acutely infected with HIV-1 strain IIIB. Either compound alone was a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 in co-cultivations of uninfected and chronically infected cells. In combination treatments of co-cultures, SK&F 108922 demonstrated strong synergy with AZT. Treatment of H9/IIIB chronically infected cells demonstrated no inhibitory effect by AZT treatment (EC50 = > 100 microM) whereas SK&F 108922 was inhibitory (EC50 = 3 microM). Upon co-treatment of H9/IIIB chronically infected cultures with both compounds, the antiviral activity was similar to that of the protease inhibitor alone suggesting no drug interaction. In the co-cultivation experiments, AZT's antiviral effect was most likely due to blocking spread of acute infection to uninfected cells in the culture. No antagonistic effects were observed with AZT and SK&F 108922 co-treatments. These results clearly demonstrate that an HIV-1 protease inhibitor can exert a potent antiviral effect on chronically infected T-cells in contrast to AZT and is capable of potent synergy with AZT in acute and co-culture in vitro infection models.

text: This is to the person, or persons, who removed (stole) the American flag and the wooden pole from the front of my home. I'm trying to keep an open mind and think that it's your heartfelt love for our flag that made you want one so badly. You didn't have to allow that wonderful desire to make a thief out of you. If you would have just knocked on my door and told me how badly you wanted a flag, but couldn't afford one, I would have gladly bought it for you. I only ask, now that you have it, that you treat it with the respect it deserves and should always have.

A snowmobile, also known as a snowmachine, or sled, is a vehicle made to travel on the snow. They are designed to be rode on the snow or ice and require no road or trail. The windshield is the only enclosure and has skies in the front to have control over direction. Snowmobiles are usually designed to carry the driver and a passenger, they are much like a motorcycle or an ATV (all terrain vehicle) but made for winter use to travel on snow and frozen water ways. Rubber tracks were used on the early snowmobile models, but now-a-days snowmobiles for the most part have tracks made of a Kevlar composite. Two-stroke gasoline/petrol internal combustion engines were in the original snowmobiles, but now four stroke engines are becoming more popular because of environmental concerns.
The snowmobile was originally made to travel where other vehicles couldn't go during the winter, however hunters and workers transporting personnel and material across snow-covered land, frozen lakes, and rivers, took great interest in this winter vehicle. Since the late part of the 20th century, snowmobiles have been recreation-ally used and the people who ride them are known as snowmobilers. Some styles of riding include: snowcross/racing, trail riding, freestyle, mountain climbing, boondocking, carving, ditchbanging, and grass drags. Summertime doesn't stop snowmobilers, they drag race on grass, asphalt strips, and even across water.
Individual Snowmobile
Types of races
- The International 500 is a large racing event held every year in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. It is a 500-mile (800 km) race on a track, with the current prize being in excess of $40,000.00. The International 500 started in February 1969.
- Grass drags are held every summer to fall, with the largest event being Hay Days in North Branch, Minnesota. Hay Days has always been held the first weekend following the Labor Day Holiday.
- The World Championship Watercross or Snowmobile skipping races are held in Grantsburg, Wisconsin in July. The snowmobiles are raced on a marked course, similar to motocross courses, without the ramps and on water.
- The Snowcross racing series are snowmobile races on a motocross-like course. The races are held during the winter season in Northern United States and Canada. One of the largest in New England is the Northeast SnoX Challenge held early January of each year in Malone, New York and run by Rock Maple Racing and sponsored by the Malone Chamber of Commerce.
- Snowmobiles are used for ice racing. The racing is held on an "Ice Oval" track. The World Championship Snowmobile Derby is held each winter in Eagle River, Wisconsin.
- The "Iron Dog", the longest snowmobile race in the world, is held annually in Alaska. It is 1,971 miles (3,172 km) long and runs from Wasilla to Nome to Fairbanks. Its name refers to Dog Mushing, long popular in Alaska.
- Vintage snowmobiling is the racing of vintage snowmobiles and has grown in popularity as a sporting event on the Canadian prairie and in America.
- The World Championship Hill Climb competition is held in Jackson, WY at the Snow King ski resort each year in March.

Kirk: Am I correct in assuming that a fusion explosion of 97 megatons will result if a starship impulse engine is overloaded?
Spock: No sir... 97.835 megatons.
"The Enterprise has a secondary propulsion system. These are the impulse engines (same principle as rocket power), located at the rear of the "saucer section." Vessel speed, when using the impulse engine, is less than the speed of light. In case of total failure of all engine power sources, the vessel's gravitational and life support systems can be switched to battery power, with a full-load capacity of about one week."

|Holly Carrington was all set to accept the promotion her boss was offering until a devastating phone call ruined her chances of rising up the ranks. Now she's the sole parent to her niece and is back in her hometown to oversee renovations on her old family home before she sells it. However, her hometown brings back memories she'd rather wish she could forget.
Quinn Manning is the man for the renovation job. But on seeing Holly again, he isn't sure it's in his best interest to take the job, especially when one decision by him years ago left her heartbroken.
The plot of this book was amazing. There were a lot of ups and downs for both Holly and Quinn as they revisited the past and with Holly suffering the loss of her sister and brother-in-law. Also, gaining sole custody of her niece hadn't made things easy for her. The dialogue was excellent, and I enjoyed reading how well Holly managed, considering she was grieving. Caring for a child is hard enough when you're not used to it, and to add her grief on top it wouldn't have been easy. The sex scenes were hot, and I liked how Holly had saved herself for Quinn. It seemed as if she knew she'd find her way back to him in the end, which was why she'd waited just as she'd promised. While with Quinn, I enjoyed how determined he was to see through the renovations, even though he was fighting his feelings for Holly and thought it best to stay away.
Overall, Ms. James has again impressed me with her writing and I can't wait to read more of this author's work in the future. A Risk Worth Taking was a very enjoyable story that I would recommend to all romance readers. However, just make sure you have tissues available when you do sit down to read this as you may need them.

It looks like Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's wedding is back on, with sources claiming the couple have managed to salvage their troubled relationship after weekend crisis talks.
Liam was spotted arriving at his fiancee's LA home on Saturday and despite the actor carrying a golf club into the house it sounds like the meeting was all work and no play with the couple reportedly talking out their problems.
The two were apparently desperate to sort out their differences as soon as Liam, 23, returned this week from his trip to visit family in Australia. According to insiders the pair had a number of issues to iron out, as Liam is said to want Miley to grow up and be more responsible whilst Miley is desperate for more romance.
"After a four-week break, Liam went back to Miley to talk about their problems," the insider tells RadarOnline. "He had a chance to clear his head in Australia and Manila, realized he couldn't be without Miley and wanted to make their relationship work."
Back together: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have been talking through their differences (WENN)
"They sat down and talked it all through. Miley told Liam she wants more romance in the relationship, while Liam said he wanted to her be more responsible and act her age."
According to the source the couple have always had a fiery relationship because of their similar personalities:
"Liam and Miley both have dominant personalities and can be quite stubborn. In the end, they knew that it would be better if they just listened to one another."
The talks appeared to have done the trick as on Sunday evening, Miley changed her Twitter profile picture to a close up image of her huge 3.5 carat diamond engagement ring, which has been off her finger in recent weeks.

Homer-Center School Board approves staff moves, repair work
Homer-Center School Board prepared for the new school year last week by hiring a new elementary instructor while approving some other staff moves as well as payment for some maintenance work.
At its Aug. 22 meeting, the board hired Emily Gates as a third-grade teacher, effective Aug. 22. Her starting salary of $54,149 will be increased for the 2013-14 school year in accordance with terms of the district's contract with the Homer-Center Education Association.
Following the meeting, Superintendent Charles Koren explained that the contract calls for teacher salaries to increase each year by the greater of either 2 percent or a percentage determined by the average of the district's Act 1 index and the increase in the basic education subsidy the district receives from state coffers.
District and teacher's union representatives are preparing to launch talks by Jan. 15 for negotiation of a follow-up contract.
The school board authorized math teacher Matthew Rodkey to function as a dean of students during his non-instructional duty periods. He will not receive any additional pay for the new role, which will allow him to assist high school principal Jody Rainey with disciplinary matters.
Homer-Center employed Loretta Blystone as a crossing guard at a starting salary of $8 per hour for two hours per day. But the district lost the services of two other guards who resigned — Judy Fleming and Jean Adamsky, who also served as a substitute cleaner.
Instructional aide L. Lorraine Henry also resigned.
The board hired Amy Stefan and Jamie Wagner as 4-hour, 12-month cleaners, effective Aug. 23. Each will complete an initial 60-day probationary period at 90 percent of the starting wage of $9.13. Wayne Shields will see his work schedule increase from three hours to seven hours in his 12-month cleaner position.
School directors agreed to pay Total Asphalt Management $2,295 for cleaning and filling asphalt cracks in the district's parking area. The firm also will be paid $3,975 for restriping and painting the district parking lots.
Griffith and Petz Company will receive $3,850 for repairing ductwork on the elementary school roof and an additional $695 for repairing an air-conditioning unit.
Homer-Center agreed to pay Pennsylvania Municipal Services for non-resident tax claims totaling $10,189.64 as of last Jan. 3.
The money will cover wage tax receipts PAMS owes to another tax collection agency, Berkheimer, for instances where an employer who withheld the taxes submitted them to the wrong taxing authority.
Homer-Center approved Millman Actuaries to provide GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) 45 valuation services for financial reporting for a three-year cycle from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2015 at a fee of $7,161.

LONDON (AP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says there appears to be evidence of war crimes in the thousands of pages of leaked U.S. military documents on the war in Afghanistan
The online whistle-blower WikiLeaks on Sunday posted some 91,000 U.S. military records of six years of the war, including unreported incidents of Afghan civilian killings and covert operations against Taliban figures.
Assange told reporters Monday "it is up to a court to decide really if something in the end is a crime. That said ... there does appear to be evidence of war crimes."
He said what's been reported so far has "only scratched the surface."
The White House, Britain and Pakistan have all condemned the documents' release.

This giveaway is closed.
We kick off the fourth day of the Week of Giveaways with a company I adore, Laundry Tree. They're the company behind Soapnuts, the genius little things that cleans our family's clothes.
I started using these Soapnuts to wash our cloth diapers, since it's important to not use detergents with chemicals and residue in order to prolong the diapers' absorbency. But since we live overseas, I couldn't afford sky-high shipping charges on natural laundry detergents – so I thought I'd give Soapnuts a whirl.
Never heard of Soapnuts? Neither did I, until recently. They're are the fruit of a tree found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal, and they are an ideal alternative to traditional laundry detergents. They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. And they work — they really, really work!
They are 100%, totally natural. They are organically grown and are free of harsh chemicals, so they are incredibly gentle on clothes and skin. They're biodegradeable, so they're better for the environment than regular detergent, and they're antimicrobial, so they're even good for septic and greywater systems.
Here's how they work:
You put three to five Soapnuts into the drawstring bag that's included in your kit. Tie the bag closed and toss it directly in with your laundry. That's it! Your clothes are just as clean as using traditional detergents, only with less residue and buildup. There's absolutely no scent, either.
We now use them as our everyday laundry soap, because they're really not that expensive. You can use the same Soap Nuts several times, so a deluxe kit will last almost five months. Break it down, and it's less expensive than traditional detergents.
Seriously, I love this stuff. Lately I've been adding a few drops of Laundry Tree's essential oils into the drawstring bag, so our clothes have been smelling like lavender. Love it.
Laundry Tree is giving one Simple Mom reader a Deluxe Soapnut Kit! It contains everything you'll need to wash 150 to 175 loads of laundry: a 500g bag of soapnuts, three 1-oz. bottles of their most popular fragrances, two sample bags (to use for traveling or share with friends), and one extra washbag.
To win, here's how to enter:
Leave a comment at this post, answering the following question: What article of your household's clothing is the most difficult for you to get clean or keep clean?
The giveaway is open worldwide, and it lasts until this Saturday, May 30. I'll draw the two winners this weekend.
I hope you win! Check back in a few hours for another giveaway.

Pros: great to use, doesn't eat up data when on 4g
Cons: wifi bogs it down
I have had the iPad Verizon 4G LTE for a month now, and over all I couldn't be happier with the machine. The only issue I have found so far is when on wifi it has a slower speed in processing then just on 4G LTE. I don't think it was the iPad it self that had issues. I think that its the wifi tower that has the issues, because my iPhone seems a little slower also when on the same wifi. The rest of what I use the iPad for works great, and the apps are just amazing in the chooses that are on iTunes. Retina is like looking at the real thing.

Atrial fibrillation (AF or AFib) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality that starts in the atria. Approximately 2.2 million people in America and 4.5 million in the European Union have paroxysmal or persistent AF. Atrial fibrillation increases with age and is a major cause of stroke.
When someone has AF, the sinus node (SA node) doesn't properly direct the heart's electrical rhythm. Many different impulses rapidly fire at the same time, causing a very fast and chaotic rhythm in the atria (upper chambers of the heart). Because the electrical impulses are so fast and chaotic, the atria cannot contract and/or squeeze blood effectively into the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). This decreases the heart's pumping ability and increases the risk for blood clots.
Cleveland Clinic's Center for Atrial Fibrillation is a multidisciplinary specialty treatment group dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of AF– whether it is chronic (persistent) or paroxysmal (comes and goes). Since 2004, we have seen thousands of patients in the center. This experience and knowledge, combined with a caring staff, provides you with quality patient care.

If your appointment is less than a week away, please bring your records to your appointment.
When you make your appointment, we would like to make traveling to Cleveland Clinic as easy as possible. Information on travel to the Miller Family Heart and Vascular Institute.
When you arrive at Cleveland Clinic for your initial appointment, you will first meet with a registered nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant who will begin the interview process and ask you about your medical history and your atrial fibrillation. You might be asked to fill out a questionnaire about your atrial fibrillation.
Then, you will meet with a physician from the Center for Atrial Fibrillation. The physician will explain your treatment options for atrial fibrillation. Once you have agreed upon a treatment option, you may need additional tests to provide more information about your condition.
One treatment option is the use of anti-arrhythmic medication. Some medications require you to stay in the hospital when the medication is started. If your plan involves one of these medications, your doctor will give you more information.
Some patients with atrial fibrillation may benefit from the catheter based Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) procedure. Your physician will decide if you are a candidate for this procedure based on your medical history and test results. If you are a candidate, a procedure date will be scheduled for you.
You should plan on staying one day for your initial consultation. If you need to have additional tests, you may need to return the next day, depending on the test schedule.
Certain anti-arrhythmic medications require telemetry monitoring when the medication is started. If your treatment plan includes one of these medications, you will need to stay in the hospital three nights.
If you are scheduled for PVI, you will stay in the hospital the evening of the procedure, and you will likely go home the next day. If you live more than two hours from Cleveland Clinic, we ask that you stay an additional night in the area at either a hotel or a local family member's home.
Your doctor will tell you when you need to be seen again.
If you have PVI, you will be seen 3 to 4 months after the procedure. At your follow-up visit, you will have testing that may include a cardiac CT scan, EKG, echocardiogram and/or blood work. You will meet with a member of the Center for Atrial Fibrillation nursing staff and with your physician.

Cleveland Clinic Heart and Vascular Institute physicians, surgeons, and researchers continue to research into new treatments and therapies with the goal of improving patient care and outcomes into the future.
The Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute is well equipped for state-of-the-art clinical, basic, and translational research efforts. Research into the mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF) and new treatments for AF is being conducted at each of these levels. One of the fundamental characteristics of this effort is its collaborative nature. Studies typically involve clinicians, surgeons, and scientists, interacting on a frequent basis. This integration and coordination gives us the ability to overcome the traditional boundaries to translational research efforts.
Cleveland Clinic has modern and well equipped laboratory facilities for basic cardiac electrophysiology research. Research facilities include approximately 2000 square feet of laboratory space, immediately adjacent to the hospital, with state of the art equipment for doing a broad spectrum of electrophysiology research at multiple levels - from the isolated cardiac myocyte (heart muscle cell), to the isolated heart or cardiac tissue, to whole animal studies, and finally to collaborative clinical studies.
For more information about the Center for Atrial Fibrillation basic research efforts contact David Van Wagoner, PhD.
Many patients with atrial fibrillation are at risk for stroke and need anticoagulation therapy. However some patients have a high risk of bleeding with long term use of this type of therapy. This is especially true if the patient is frail or has a history of bleeding, such as bleeding in the stomach or intestines and/or brain (cerebral hemorrhage). New medications and procedures are available to help manage the risks of both stroke and bleeding in these patients with atrial fibrillation.
The staff of Cleveland Clinic's Stroke Prevention Center is highly experienced and able to help patients with these needs.
Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in cardiology, vascular medicine, gastroenterology and neurovascular medicine. We work together to assess your risk of stroke and bleeding and develop a treatment plan that best meets your individual needs.

The Commonwealth
Squadron Leader William Joseph 'Bill' Hickey DFC, RAF no. 32035
9 May 1907 – 21 December 1940
Image kindly provided by David Park.
William Joseph Hickey was born in Sydney Australia on 9 May 1907. He was educated at St. Aloyoysius' College, Milsons Point, Sydney from 1921 to 1926 where he was an outstanding athlete. He was a member of the school's 1st XV in 1924 and 1925, its 1st VIII in 1926 and a member of the school's Athletic Team from 1921 to 1926 placing in the top three at the school athletic championships at various times in the 100 and 200 yards sprint, the hurdles, the high jump and the long jump.
In 1927 and 1928, he attended the University of Sydney and studied engineering but left without graduating to concentrate on a flying career which had been his life long passion as it had been with fellow classmate and friend James Connolly (later with Hawker Aircraft Company, British Aircraft Manufacturing Company and the British Air Ministry). His sacrifice is recorded on the Honour Roll of the University.
During the years 1926 to 1928, Bill Hickey served voluntarily as an aircraftsman in No.3 Citizens Air Force Squadron then stationed at Richmond, New South Wales. He joined the Royal Australian Air Force as a Cadet on 9 December 1929 and was commissioned as a Pilot Officer on 2 April 1930.
On 12 May 1931, he was together with Ron Rae (later Air Vice Marshall) seconded from the Royal Australian Air Force to the Royal Air Force on five years attachment under the pre-war scheme for the interchange of pilots.
The following day he was granted a Short Term Service Commission as Pilot Officer on probation.
After completing training at No 3 Flying Training School at Grantham he was posted to 1 Squadron.
On 26 September 1931, he was posted to 43 Squadron at Tangmere (43 Squadron was at Tangmere from February 1927 to October 1939).
He was promoted to Pilot Officer on 13 May 1932 and to Flying Officer on 13 November the same year.
On 2 January 1933, he was then posted to Calshot for instruction and spending time on flying boats before being posted to Malta.
He was posted to 210 Squadron on 4 June 1933 and was still on strength in April 1935.
On 31 March 1935, he was Supernumerary at RAF Depot.
A posting to 9 Flying Training School in Yorkshire as an Instructor followed (on 30 March 1936 he was on the staff of this unit).
He was promoted to Flight Lieutenant on 1 April 1936 (gazetted on 21 April) and granted a Permanent Commission on 13 May the same year.
On 8 June 1936, he was qualified as Cat B Instructor at CFS Uphaven and on 2 February 1937 he was re-categorised as A2 Instructor.
On 1 December 1937, he was Supernumery at 1 Group.
He was promoted to Squadron Leader on 1 December 1938.
In 1939 he was posted to the Middle East.
Squadron Leader Hickey took command over 80 Squadron on 27 August 1940 replacing Squadron Leader Patrick Dunn who had left the Squadron on 19 August to form 274 Squadron (the temporary commander was Flight Lieutenant Edward Jones). The unit was at the time equipped with Gloster Gladiators and operating in the Western Desert.
On 12 September, he took off at night to intercept a lone bomber attacking Mersa Matruh. As it was being illuminated by searchlights he was able to fire a couple of burst at it but failed to observe any results.
At 07:55 on 3 November, three Gladiators from 80 Squadron were sent out to attack a motor transport concentration near Garn. Two of the aircraft, Squadron Leader Hickey in N5823 and Flying Officer George Kettlewell in N5858 attacked whilst Pilot Officer P. T. Dowding (N5854) stayed above. The attack was most successful and much damage was done. Flying Officer Kettlewell reported that he suffered stoppage to two guns. The three pilots returned to base between 09:20 and 09:35.
80 Squadron was ordered to Greece and on 18 November the 'B' Flight of 80 Squadron left Egypt and reached Athens with at least nine Gladiator IIs led by Squadron Leader Hickey and including Flight Lieutenant 'Pat' Pattle, Flying Officers Greg Graham and Sidney Linnard, Pilot Officers Samuel Cooper, 'Heimar' Stuckey and William Vale and Sergeant Charles Casbolt.
"A" Flight of 80 Squadron led by Flight Lieutenant Edward Jones left Egypt for Greece on 23 November.
Shortly before midday on 19 December, Squadron Leader Hickey led 14 of 80 Squadron's Gladiators up to Yanina, followed by the ground party in a Ju 52/3m. After refuelling, 13 of these fighters were off to patrol over the Tepelene area where five S.79s of the 46o Stormo were seen, escorted by CR.42s and G.50bis. The British pilots at once engaged the bombers, believing that they had shot one down (no loss was actually suffered), but return fire struck N5785 and it went down in flames, Pilot Officer Samuel Cooper being seen to bale out. Squadron Leader Hickey thought that he had shot down one of the escorting CR.42s, which now attempted to intervene, but he then went down to land on a waterlogged field near Argyrokastron to look for his missing pilot. With the aid of some Greek soldiers, the badly wounded Cooper was located, and was transferred to hospital in Argyrokastron, where he died that evening. Meanwhile Sergeant Edward Hewett's N5827 had been hit and badly damaged by AA fire, and he was obliged to force-land 20 miles north of Yanina during the return flight; this Gladiator was later salvaged.
No escorting CR.42s were actually lost in this combat.
At 10.30 on 21 December 1940 80 Squadron took off from Yanina for the front in Greece. They were led by Squadron Leader Hickey and flew in three sections. The first comprised four aircraft and was led by Hickey, the second of three was led by Flight Lieutenant 'Pat' Pattle and the third trio was led by Flying Officer Sidney Linnard.
Near Argyrokastron three enemy trimotor bombers were seen. They were identified as S.79s, and then three more aircraft with twin tails were seen, recognised in this case as Fiat BR.20s. All six were in fact Cant Z.1007bis aircraft from the 47o Stormo B.T. from Grottaglie. The Italian bombers were attacked by the Gladiators and Pattle believed that he had hit one.
At this moment however 15 CR.42s of the 160o Gruppo appeared on the scene. Maggiore Oscar Molinari, the Gruppo commander, was leading these Italian aircraft on an offensive reconnaissance over Yanina, Paramythia and Zitsa. Seeing the bombers under attack by an estimated 20 Gladiators, the Italian attacked, joined by other aircraft from the 150o Gruppo so that 80 Squadron pilots assessed the number of their opponents at 54!
After 25 minutes the air battle broke up and eight of the British pilots returned to claim eight confirmed and three probables. Pilot Officer 'Bill' Vale claimed three, one of them in flames. Sergeant Charles Casbolt claimed one, which blew up and another, which spun down (later down-graded to a probable). Sergeant Donald Gregory claimed another two, again one in flames, but his own aircraft was badly shot up and he was wounded in the right eye. He however managed to return to Yanina. Pattle and Flight Sergeant S. A. Richens also claimed one CR.42 each, Pattle reporting that his victim fell in flames, whilst Flying Officers W. B. Price-Owen and F. W. Hosken both claimed probables. However Flying Officer A. D. Ripley in N5854 was seen to be shot down in flames and killed, while Squadron Leader Hickey was spotted bailing out of N5816; sadly his parachute caught fire, and he died from injuries soon after reaching the ground. Greek troops recovered the bodies of both pilots. Flying Officer Sidney Linnard's aircraft (N5834) was also badly hit and he was hit in the left calf by an explosive bullet and was taken to hospital after landing at Yanina.
In return the 160o Gruppo pilots claimed six Gladiators, two each by Maggiore Molinari and Tenente Edoardo Crainz (in CR.42 '394-7'), and one apiece by Tenente Eber Giudici and Capitano Paolo Arcangeletti. Probables were claimed by Tenente Torquato Testerini, Sergente Maggiore Francesco Penna and Sergente Maggiore Domenico Tufano. The 150o Gruppo pilots claimed two more Gladiators in collaboration, while 47o Stormo gunners claimed one more and a probable. As in the case of the British fighters, actual Italian losses totalled only two aircraft, Tenente Mario Gaetano Carancini and Tenente Mario Frascadore of the 160o Gruppo being lost, while Maggiore Molinari was wounded in the right foot and force-landed near Tepelene with a damaged engine.
On 17 January 1941, he was awarded a posthumously DFC.
At the time of his death, Hickey was credited with 1 biplane victory.

Sony hints at PlayStation phone, says iPhone poor for games
updated 10:55 am EDT, Thu October 28, 2010
Sony VP hints PlayStation phone, dismisses Apple
SCEA's senior marketing VP Peter Dille in an interview late Wednesday dropped strong hints of the upcoming PlayStation phone and was already setting it up as a competitor to the iPhone. He saw the PSP as being hindered by being Wi-Fi only and its having to be a secondary device. Modern users want "always-connected devices," Dille told CNN, and lose many of the PSP's role as a media center when away, like movie rentals and web browsing.
"I don't think we fully realize that vision with a Wi-Fi device," Dille explained. "If it's not connected [to cellular] then it does sort of limit people."
He added that the PSP was also partly hurt by its age. Originally launched in 2004, the design's basic formula and performance have remained mostly unchanged, even including the PSP Go. Apple's original iPhone was faster in 2007, but the company has made a point of upgrading features, performance or both every year and now has a much more advanced device than Sony. TV consoles have usually stayed at the top of their lineup for at least five years and, in Sony's case, can still be relevant for 10 years or more.
Regardless, Apple's approach of simply offering gaming on an existing cellphone wasn't enough, he added. Most iPhone games were simply "time-killers" that didn't encourage long play. Sony's experience with the PlayStation meant it knew better how to encourage serious games, where users "aren't satisfied" with what Apple and others have been offering so far.
While Dille didn't confirm the existence of a PlayStation phone, the device is known to be a touchscreen Android slider with PSP Go-style controls instead of the usual keyboard. The design would be fast enough for games with a second-generation 1GHz Snapdragon chip but would focus the most on its software. Sony Ericsson, whose name is currently on the prototype, would have a separate section for PlayStation games, whether a distinct app store or a section of Android Market. It may also be a showcase for the next release of Android, Gingerbread, but might not ship until 2011.
The phone is likely an urgent priority as PSP sales were known to be crashing before the NPD Group stopped reporting sales figures in public this summer. Sony has tried renewing interest with anti-iPhone ads conveying its deeper gaming message, but they have so far been unsuccessful as Apple saw a record 14.1 million iPhone sales and now counts the iPod touch as its most popular non-phone device, outselling both the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP combined.

The students would arrive in the morning, eat breakfast and go to class. It would be a regular school day with lots of technology used in instruction.
In the afternoon, the program would switch, and a nonprofit, faith-based, after-school program affiliated with Moody Church would take over — helping the kids with homework, feeding them dinner and teaching them about the Bible.
That would be the arrangement for a tentatively approved charter school in Austin set to open in 2015.
The school's deep partnership with the faith-based group raises questions about how a publicly financed charter school can comply with the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state, especially when both groups share some leaders.
But officials with the nonprofit By the Hand Club for Kids, and with the charter school group, Chicago Education Partnership, said they won't cross any lines, and children and parents can have a say if they want to be involved in religious classes.
"We want to be clear, transparent, open and make sure everyone realizes that we understand the faith-based part of things doesn't enter into the school day," said Michael Rogers, executive director of Chicago Education Partnership and a leader at By the Hand. "It's only into the after-school hours, and kids can opt out."
As for By the Hand, "We're already doing a lot of homework and talking with counsel and making sure that we don't do anything that would cross that line," said Donnita Travis, the founder and executive director of By the Hand and the charter's chairman of the board.
A Chicago Public Schools spokesman said CPS, which conditionally approved the charter last month, and the Illinois State Board of Education will "ensure that the educational plan and curricula meets the district's and the state's standards."
"State law specifies that charter schools must be nonsectarian and nonreligious and requires all new schools to submit a copy of their curriculum in order to be certified by the Illinois State Board of Education," CPS spokesman Joel Hood said in a statement.
But to those protecting the barrier between church and state, the partnership doesn't seem appropriate.
"This sounds constitutionally questionable at best," said Alex Luchenitser, associate legal director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Dwayne Truss, a community activist in Austin who has been an outspoken critic of the charter, said he worries that oversight from CPS won't be diligent. "They're blurring the line, big-time."
The yet-to-be named charter school in Austin wouldn't be the only such school group in Chicago with ties to religious groups.
Catalyst Schools was founded, in part, by brother Ed Siderewicz and former brother Gordon Hannon, and the school follows in the tradition of the De La Salle Christian Brothers.
The Concept Schools have ties to organizations affiliated with the influential Turkish Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, records show.
The issue of faith-based groups and their connections to charter schools hasn't been a common concern in Illinois or Chicago, said Andrew Broy, president of the Illinois Network of Charter Schools.
It's not uncommon for religious groups to want to extend their mission of service by opening a charter school, he said, and many religious groups work with public schools by hosting after-school programs.
That's what By the Hand does.
The after-school program serves more than 900 children in four Chicago communities.
Last week, hundreds of energetic kids rushed through the doors of the group's new facility in Austin.
Students got help with homework; they read books and ate hot dogs, baked beans and fruit. Some visited a dentist who came in a mobile office.
The kids also went to chapel.
In a clean, bright room, they danced, learned about the Ten Commandments and said a prayer.
Some classrooms have religious posters on the walls, and the group tracks how many kids in their program attend church — 24 percent last year, a 12 percent increase from the previous year, according to By the Hand's annual report.
It also tracks how many students in their program passed all their classes: 73 percent last year, which was a 5 percent increase over the previous year, according to the 2013 annual report.
The group claims 100 percent of the students it serves get a hot meal and dental and vision care, which helps them do better in school.
"When you start looking at the academic needs of kids, the physical, the emotional needs of kids . . . it's really looking at the whole child and saying how can we eliminate the barriers to learning that these kids have? Because they're not always academic barriers," Rogers said.
The charter, in a community that lost schools in the closures last year, has received some big-name support.
In December, Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., urged the Chicago Board of Education to give Chicago Education Partnership the charter because his church, New Galilee Missionary Baptist Church, is involved with By the Hand.
The congressman, who said he normally isn't supportive of charters, later told the Sun-Times that the church asked him to speak on behalf of the charter.
CPS officials haven't fully approved the charter group, which seeks to open a K-8 school beginning in 2015.
Last month, the Chicago Board of Education conditionally approved the group and asked it to find a principal with a "proven track record of driving student academic achievement with similar student populations." CPS officials also want more curriculum details.
There's no mention of the charter's partnership with By the Hand, which is overseen by the Moody Church's elders. The elders, with the group's board of directors, must approve major decisions, and the church provides the group with some administrative services, according to tax documents and the group's annual report.
Travis said By the Hand was founded in 2001 as a ministry of the Moody Church, but since 2005 it's been a separate nonprofit group.
The charter school would be housed in a new building adjacent to the current $6 million, 26,000-square-foot Austin facility, and the charter would lease its space from the nonprofit for $750 per student, officials said. It plans to enroll 90 children per grade and would initially open with just two grades.
"My faith motivates me to do more," Travis said. "The idea is going deeper with our kids. Having great impact in their lives and serving more kids."

Crews spent all day Friday sifting through the crash site at Paces Creek Elementary in Manchester, but the scene is now clear.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration searched through the wreckage.
They took pictures and documented the scene while moving parts onto trucks and into bags.
A NTSB investigator says they still do not know the cause of the crash, but are beginning to rule some things out.
"All of the evidence to some of the fractures show that most of the fractures were impact damage. In other words, once it hit the grounds things started to break, and we're starting to see that," said Shawn Etcher NTSB Investigator.
The helicopter wreckage is being sent to Georgia for further investigation.

P.T. Barnum tells his own story in new one-man play
- Posted on August 26th, 2010 filed in Newspaper
Show-biz genius or master of hype? Phineas Taylor Barnum was both of those things, as well as a vital part of the state of Connecticut for most of his life. The myth will be separated from the man in a new one-person play, "Barnum Tonight!," that is being given two staged readings at Fairfield University on Sunday and Aug. 21. The play is written by Leo B. Meyer and will star Tom Zingarelli, the actor who is also executive director of the university's Quick Center.

Recognizing that one's success in life can be measured in many different and important ways, Earlham is grateful to those whose particular successes enable them to contribute to Earlham at the President's Circle level each year. In fact, approximately 65% of all money raised through the Earlham Fund annually comes from the President's Circle donors.
The President's Circle is composed of individuals who contribute $1,500 or more to Earlham during the fiscal year. Three societies recognize donors within the President's Circle:
The 1847 Society recognizes President's Circle donors who have given at least $2,500 to Earlham during the fiscal year.
The Around the Heart Society recognizes President's Circle donors who have contributed between $1,500 and $2,499 to Earlham in the fiscal year.
The Young Leaders Circle recognizes donors who have contributed at least $500 annually to Earlham, and who have graduated within the last 10 years. The President's Circle appreciates the generosity of these young alumni, who choose to contribute to the College even when their careers have just begun.

What on earth has happened to the AP?
Posted By Les Kinsolving On 04/09/2012 @ 7:53 pm In Commentary,Opinion | No Comments
Forty-six years after I began as a newspaper columnist and a talk-radio host, at the San Francisco Chronicle and at that city's KCBS, I am compelled to ask: What on earth has happened to the Associated Press?
Thousands of us in the media throughout the last half of the 20th century had good cause to have highest regard for AP as strongly objective, fair, unbiased and surely not subject to undue influence or pressure from any political party.
On April 3, during a speech by President Obama to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the Weekly Standard reported:
The Weekly Standard also noted: "Indeed, it sounded like a campaign speech from the AP chief himself."
Then, from Washington Times columnist Charles Hurt – under the memorable headline "Newshounds in Heat over Obama" – the following:
"Any hope that the full-blown love affair the old-guard media has with President Obama might cool off for their coverage of the 2012 presidential election vanished long about lunchtime Tuesday. …
"But for the assembled 'news' hounds – the most vaunted gathering of news executives from across the country – it was all very serious swooning. They were like a bunch of dogs in heat.
"Dean Singleton, chairman of the AP board, introduced Mr. Obama. No, actually, it was more like he proposed to him. Sang him an icky love song in which he reminisced about all their hot dates and then pledged his undying love forever.
"The only way you know that the White House didn't actually write the introduction, as it often does when the president speaks, is simply that Mr. Singleton's Valentine essay was so over-the-top fawning that even the White House probably was embarrassed – if that is possible. …
"Then, apparently reading directly from one of the Obama campaign's teleprompters, Mr. Singleton proceeded to absolve him of any blame for the current financial crisis.
"'As president, he inherited the headwinds of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. He pushed through Congress the biggest economic recovery plan in history and led a government reorganization of two of the Big Three American auto manufacturers to save them from oblivion.'
"Seriously? This from the leader of what is supposed to be the most basic, unbiased, straightforward news-reporting organization in the country?
"But Mr. Singleton was still not finished. …
"Before consummating the relationship with a leg-tingling handshake on stage and expressing his 'honor' to be in the presence of Mr. Obama, Mr. Singleton issued a warning about the coming presidential election.
"'We thought the 2008 White House race was rough and tumble,' he said. 'The 2012 race makes it look like bumper cars by comparison as our country has become even more polarized.'
"Well, is it any wonder we are so 'polarized' considering how America's 'news' hounds – our most trusted guardians of fairness and truth – have gone completely into heat and jumped into bed with Mr. Obama?"

We should split into three groups: Those that want groups, those that do not, and those that do not care.
I don't remember if this is already in the list, but a more useful question might be "What are you passionate about?" I like the idea of knowing who to ask if I want to build a robot or if I want to put together a group to do Doctors without Borders, etc. Before I actually invite everyone it is nice to reach a bit of a critical mass with specialists :)
Is it being used to split Nerdfighters at all?
I kinda like the question. I saw it as asking "What do you bring to the table" but in a nicer, more open-minded way. Other people might see it as an opportunity for a joke. Others again might see it as a reflection on who they are and not necessarily what they can contribute.
However, I don't know much about this stuff. I made this account 4 years ago and this is my first post. If it is being used to split Nerdfighters then I'd say trash it. Let people find their own groups naturally, if they want a group at all.
These are all interesting points. My own views are that I do not like it all that much. A Nerdfighter is a Nerdfighter haha
I think it would be better not to have it. I was, actually, quite confused by the questions, so I went with the boring "made of awesome" answer.
I answered, "I don't know," to that question. It was kind of confusing because when I looked for possible answers to the question, I couldn't find any. More of an explanation would have been better.
I don't really see that it's such a big deal, I mean we have groups and stuff, it's not like I refuse to comment on people's blogs if their answer to that question doesn't match mine. But on the other hand, I do see how that would upset some people and I really don't care that much so... yeah.
I am not a fighter I am a champion of freedom and human rights I run a network so I an nerd If you use a computer online your a nerd right?
I'm just a normal nerdfighter who refuses to pigeonholed into a category (with a label)
