Initial failures in Iraq acted like a solar eclipse, blocking the light on every other achievement. But those achievements, with the eclipse finally passing, are considerable by the measure of any presidency. Because of the passage of Medicare Part D, nearly 10 million low-income seniors are receiving prescription drugs at little or no cost. No Child Left Behind education reform has helped raise the average reading scores of fourth graders to their highest level in 15 years, and narrowed the achievement gap between white and African-American children. The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has helped provide treatment for more than 1.7 million people and compassionate care for at least 2.7 million orphans and vulnerable children. And the decision to pursue the surge in Iraq will be studied as a model of presidential leadership.
These achievements, it is true, have limited constituencies to praise them. Many conservatives view Medicare, education reform and foreign assistance as heresies. Many liberals refuse to concede Bush's humanity, much less his achievements.
But that humanity is precisely what I will remember. I have seen President Bush show more loyalty than he has been given, more generosity than he has received. I have seen his buoyancy under the weight of malice and his forgiveness of faithless friends. Again and again, I have seen the natural tug of his pride swiftly overcome by a deeper decency -- a decency that is privately engaging and publicly consequential.
Before the G-8 summit in 2005, the White House senior staff overwhelmingly opposed a new initiative to fight malaria in Africa for reasons of cost and ideology -- a measure designed to save hundreds of thousands of lives, mainly of children under 5. In the crucial policy meeting, one person supported it: the president of the United States, shutting off debate with a moral certitude that others have criticized. I saw how this moral framework led him to an immediate identification with the dying African child, the Chinese dissident, the Sudanese former slave, the Burmese women's advocate. It is one reason I will never be cynical about government -- or about President Bush.
For some, this image of Bush is so detached from their own conception that it must be rejected. That is, perhaps, understandable. But it means little to me. Because I have seen the decency of George W. Bush.

In 1930, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) divided the sky into 88 constellations. Each constellation is defined by an imaginary boundary on the sky and named after a classical star pattern within those boundaries. So when we say a star is "in" a particular constellation, we mean it lies within the IAU-defined boundaries of...
Resources and Education
How many stars are there in the universe?
By measuring the number and luminosity of observable galaxies, astronomers put current estimates of the total stellar population of the observable universe at roughly 70 billion trillion.
What is the brightest star in the sky?
The brightest star in the sky is Sirius, also known as the "Dog Star" or, more officially, Alpha Canis Majoris, for its position in the constellation Canis Major.
How long do stars live? How do stars die?
Both the life and death of a star depend on its mass. Generally speaking, the more massive a star, the faster it burns its fuel and the shorter its life. The most massive stars meet their end in a supernova explosion after only a few million years of fusion, while the tiniest stars continue...
What is a star?
A star is a luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by its own gravity. Nuclear fusion reactions in its core support the star against gravity and produce photons and heat, as well as small amounts of heavier elements. The Sun is the closest star to Earth.
Why do stars twinkle?
Though it wouldn't work so well in the nursery rhyme, a star's twinkling actually has a technical term, astronomical scintillation: the effect of our planet's atmosphere on starlight.
What are asteroids and where do they come from?
Asteroids are rocky objects leftover from the solar system's formation, found primarily in the asteroid belt, a region of the solar system in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is a comet? Where do comets come from?
Like asteroids, comets are suspected to be remnants of planet formation in the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. But while asteroids are generally comprised of rock and metal, comets are more akin dirty snowballs. Comets primarily originate in the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.
Why do comets have tails?
Comets develop tails as they approach perihelion—the place in their orbits when they are closest to the sun. The sun's heat causes some of the material in a comet to vaporize, which in turn releases dust particles that were trapped in the ice.
How big is the Sun?
The Sun is more than 330,000 times as massive than the Earth. It has a diameter of nearly 1.4 million kilometers (865,000 miles), and its volume could enclose about 1.3 million Earths.
How Many Planets Are In Our Solar System?
There are eight planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What is the solar wind?
The Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, is the source of the solar wind, a steady outflow of charged particles from the Sun.
What are the smallest and largest planets in our solar system?
When it comes to both mass and volume, Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, while Mercury is the smallest.
What is a meteor shower?
Meteor showers occur when Earth passes through a stream of meteoric material. The brief streaks of luminescence we call meteors are caused by meteoroids burning up as they pass through the atmosphere.
Astrology vs Astronomy: What's the difference?
The practices of astrology and astronomy have common roots, but they have evolved into two separate fields. Astronomy studies positions, motions, and properties of celestial objects. Astrology attempts to study how those positions, motions, and properties affect people and events on Earth.
What is radio astronomy?
Radio astronomy is the study of the universe through analysis of very long-wavelength emission from celestial objects.

Advances in computers and fabrication technology have allowed architects to create fantastic designs with relative ease that in years past would likely require the labor of countless master craftsmen. Architecture firms like Gramazio Kohler Architects are known for their innovative approach to digital fabrication, adapting technology from a variety of fields. To create this stunning new brick façade for Keller AG Ziegeleien, Gramazio Kohler used an innovative robotic manufacturing process called "ROBmade," which uses a robot to position and glue the bricks together.

Digitized Stone: ZAarchitects Develop "Smart Masonry"
When one hears the term masonry architecture, digital fabrication and automated construction processes are probably not the first ideas to come to mind. By its very nature, the architecture produced with stone masonry is often heavy, massive, and incorporates less natural light than alternative methods. However, with their research proposal for "Smart Masonry," ZAarchitects are proposing to change masonry buildings as we know them and open opportunities for digital fabrication techniques in stone and other previously antiquated materials. Read on after the break to get a glimpse of what these new masonry buildings could look like and learn more about the process behind their construction.
Tel Aviv Museum Of Art Examines The International Circulation Of Prefab Concrete Panels
Between 1945 and 1981 around 170 million prefabricated (prefab) residential units were constructed worldwide. Now, as part of a study undertaken by Pedro Alonso and Hugo Palmarola of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile between 2012 and 2014, an exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art features 28 large concrete panel systems from between 1931 and 1981. In so doing, it explores a transnational circulation of these objects of construction, "weaving them into a historical collage of ambitions and short-lived enthusiasm for utopian dreams."
This show, curated by Meira Yagid-Haimovici, is an attempt to reveal "how architecture and urbanism was charged with historical, social, and political narratives, and how the modernist vision promoted the fusion of aesthetics and politics." The models, which are being exhibited as part of the Production Routes exhibition, seek to highlight the richness embodied in 'generic' architecture through the lens of prefab construction methods.
Symposium: Model Making In The Digital Age
An upcoming conference at the University of Manchester will tackle the idea of Model Making In The Digital Age. Based on the premise that the world of architecture is dominated by digital tools today more than ever, from design and manufacturing to the ways in which we visualise complex spaces and structures physically and virtually, this symposium seeks to shed new light on the practice of model making and its uses.
5-Axis Milling: The Next Level In Accessible, Versatile Digital Fabrication
The 5AXISMAKER is a desktop 5-axis multi-fabrication CNC machine that hopes to expand the possibilities of digital fabrication by making it cheap and more versatile. Should the project receive backing on Kickstarter before the 27th October 2014, the possibility of 5-axis milling will become an affordable reality for manufacturing complex design prototypes. The product in development "provides a large cutting volume for it's size, therefore producing "generously sized objects." Developed by graduates of London's Architectural Association, they hope to "shake the manufacturing world with new ways of fabricating using industrial robots right at your desk."
A Practical Study in the Discipline of Architectural Modelmaking
Why do we make models? From sketch maquettes and detail tests to diagrammatic and presentation models, the discipline of physically crafting ideas to scale is fundamental to the architect's design process. For architect and educator Nick Dunn, architectural models ultimately "enable the designer to investigate, revise and further refine ideas in increasing detail until such a point that the project's design is sufficiently consolidated to be constructed." In Dunn's second edition of his practical guide and homage to the architectural model, the significance and versatility of this medium is expertly visualised and analysed in a collection of images, explanations, and case studies.

The Depreciating Value of Form in the Age of Digital Fabrication
In this article, originally appearing on the Australian Design Review as "Tolerance and Customisation: a Question of Value", Michael Parsons argues that the complex forms made possible by digital fabrication may soon be victims of their own popularity, losing their intrinsic value as they become more common and the skill required to make them decreases.
The idea of tolerance in architecture has become a popular point of discussion due to the recent mainstreaming of digital fabrication. The improvements in digital fabrication methods are allowing for two major advancements: firstly, the idea of reducing the tolerance required in construction to a minimum (and ultimately zero) and secondly, mass customisation as a physical reality. Digital fabrication has made the broad-brushstroke approach to fabrication tolerance obsolete and now allows for unique elements and tolerance specific to each element. The accuracy that digital fabrication affords the designer, allows for the creation of more complex forms with greater ease and control. So far, this has had great and far reaching implications for design.
Read on to find out how this ease of form-making could diminish the success of complex forms.
Autodesk Launches Foundation Aimed to Solve "Epic Design Challenges"
Autodesk has launched the Autodesk Foundation, an organization which will "invest in and support the most impactful nonprofit organizations using the power of design to help solve epic challenges." In an effort to aid those tackling global issues such as "climate change, access to water, and healthcare," the foundation will provide select design-oriented grantees with software, training and financial support.
3xLP Winner of SKIN Digital Fabrication Competition
TEX-FAB Digital Fabrication Alliance's 2013 international digital fabrication competition titled - SKIN is announcing the overall winner: 3xLP.
A total of 68 entries from across the globe representing 14 countries on 5 continents were narrowed down to 4 finalists and 4 honorable mentions in July by the First Round jury consisting of Phil Anzalone, Maria Mingallon, Gregg Pasquarelli, Randy Stratman, and Skylar Tibbits. The Second Round juried by James Carpenter, Neil Denari, Mic Patterson and William Zahner conferred and selected from the finalists 3xLP. All four finalists were exhibited at the ACADIA Adaptive Architecture Conference at the University of Waterloo in October, 2013.
Puzzle-Piece Homes, A Solution for Rapidly Growing Populations
By now, we have all heard the mantra. In twenty years time, the world's cities will have grown from three to five billion people, forty percent of these urban dwellers will be living at or below the poverty line facing the constant threat of homelessness - scary statistics and even scarier implications.
ECOnnect, a Holland-based design firm, envisions a solution for these future housing shortages, one that could build a one-million-inhabitant city per week for the next twenty years for $10,000 per family. Peter Stoutjesdijk, architect at ECOnnect, created the concept after widespread devastation in Haiti caused by a massive earthquake left of hundreds of thousands of people homeless depending on tents for temporary relief.
Robots, Cars and Architecture
Since the dawn of the modern era, there has been a strong relationship between architecture and the car, especially in the works of Le Corbusier.
Le Corbusier was fascinated by his car (the Voisin C7 Lumineuse); the aesthetics of this functional, mass produced machine deeply influenced his designs. Its focus on function translated into his concept that houses should be "machines for living" and inspired a series of experiments of mass produced, pre-fab houses (such as the Maison Citrohan). Most of these concepts were later materialized in the iconic Villa Savoye, whose floorplan was even designed to accommodate the car's turning radius.
5 Robots Revolutionizing Architecture's Future
Robots fascinate us. Their ability to move and act autonomously is visually and intellectually seductive. We write about them, put them in movies, and watch them elevate menial tasks like turning a doorknob into an act of technological genius. For years, they have been employed by industrial manufacturers, but until recently, never quite considered seriously by architects. Sure, some architects might have let their imaginations wander, like Archigram did for their "Walking City", but not many thought to actually make architecture with robots. Now, in our age of digitalization, virtualization, and automation, the relationship between architects and robots seems to be blooming...check it out.
Keep reading to see five new robots making architecture.
Digital Fabrication / SketchChair
Digital fabrication has been a popular discussion among architecture and design professionals. Students are digitally fabricating their models and building their own personalized 3D printers. What was impossible to build by hand is quickly assembled through digital fabrication. As the technology rapidly evolves, larger objects are being fabricated at more affordable prices. Today we may be digitally fabricating furniture and tomorrow we might be 3D printing our house. Architects and designers are jumping on board and exploring the capabilities of this game changing technology.
2011 matR Project: "The Passage"
A team of graduate students recently created a temporary installation on the Kent State University, Kent campus in Ohio. The project grew out of an internal challenge in the matR design competition. Designed by graduate students Brian Thoma, Carl, Veith, Victoria, Capranica, Matt Veith, and Griffin Morris, the tunnel-like structure called "The Passage" was a study to support the conceptualization and actualization of innovative and experimental material research. The students created the initial form in Rhinoceros with a couple Grasshopper definitions as a waffle structure of 26 vertical ribs and 24 horizontal struts. More images and information after the break.
Digital Fabrications: Architectural and Material Techniques / Lisa Iwamoto
"Architecture continually informs and is informed by its modes of representation and construction, perhaps never more so than now, when digital media and emerging technologies are rapidly expanding what we conceive to be formally, spatially, and materially possible"
- Lisa Iwamoto
During 2009 I had the chance to visit Iwamoto Scott in San Francisco, a practice lead by Lisa Iwamoto and Craig Scott. At their office I could see first hand the study models for some of the projects the firm has been involved, such as a mockup for their P.S.1 proposal, Coral Reef, or the lightweight wooden pieces that structure the massive Voussoir Cloud installation at SCI Arc. These small pieces had a lot to tell, not only about the specific project they were part of, but also their iterations.
The firm has a recognized expertise in digital fabrication, presented by Lisa Iwamoto at the AIA Convention 2009 during the Emerging Voices forum, and also on her book "Digital Fabrication" edited by Princeton Architectural Press under their Architecture Brief series.
The book presents in a clear way (with very good examples) the methods behind digital fabrication: sectioning, tessellating, folding, contouring, and forming. For most of us these words are pretty much obvious and we often use them as design principles of our projects. But to get the full scope of what they really mean, or for those that want to start understanding -and using- them, this is a recommended reading.

My customer was going through the process of creating scripts to configure their latest SharePoint Server 2013 (SP2013) farm and encountered an issue while provisioning the Search topology. It was quite a sticking point for them so I began some research. I've simplified the scenario in order to make the repro easier and this is my configuration:
The objective is to create and configure a new SP2013 farm and provision the entire new (non-default) Search topology on APP1 from Powershell scripts running on WFE1. So the steps are basically:
The part that makes this a bit tricky in addition to the remote provisioning is that it is a least privileged configuration. (I've mentioned before how much I love/loathe this type of setup.) So the accounts that I have are:
The initial pieces of creating and configuring the farm are rather straight-forward and indeed "old-hat" to a lot of us since we've been running with Powershell scripts since the inception of SP2010 so I won't re-hash that part here; however the piece that was causing a problem with this issue is the remote provisioning of Search. At the point where we create and activate the topology, Powershell returns the following:
Exception calling "Activate" with "0" argument(s): "Timed out waiting for search service 'SPSearchHostController' provisioning timer job to complete"
At C:\Scripts\Provision-Search-Svc-App-and-Topology2.ps1:164 char:4

There has been a lot of research and blog posting on the error from the ULS log, but all that I found simply said "to resolve reboot the server" or "to resolve add the SearchSvc account to the local administrators group". While both of these did in fact resolve the issue, they didn't go far enough to actually tell me what was happening. After extensive repros of this issue, the core of the problem can be found in the following blog:
Basically what happens is that when APP1 joins the SP2013 farm, the config file for Smsvchost.exe gets updated to add the local WSS_WPG group to the AllowAccounts element. At this point, the SearchSvc account is not a member of that group so the security token that the Smsvchost service (TcpPortSharing) has for this group does not include it. As Jon states in his blog referenced above, basically this service (and any other service that depends on this service) needs to be restarted to get a new security token for the WSS_WPG group. My new steps to resolve this are as follows:
In Powershell terms, that means to either use PS Remoting to run the net stop/start commands immediately after the call to Start-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance for APP1 or to insert a pause so you can go directly to APP1 to make restart the services.

Sounds like you're doing nothing wrong but like when i first started making my own CDs, you haven't realised when the disc is first made and you finish recording it, that's it - the disc is "finalised" by the recording software which means there is no room left for anything else and that it's not recordable on. Takes a bit of getting your head round if like me, you're used to audio cassettes where you record half of one side, decide which other tracks to add, then record those and then start on the other side! The only way i found is to put together the disc contents over a period of time then burn it when it was full/near full.
I've never burned a CD before and don't know a thing about it. I have a Dell PC and Real Player (it's a fairly new version, but I don't know how to check which version I have). I downloaded some songs from youtube and they appear to be flash videos. I converted the flash videos to MP3. After successfully burning the first song, I tried to add another song to the CD but was informed that it "will not fit" and the "inserted CD is not writeable."
My CD is a 700 MB Sony CD-R. What am I doing wrong?

Fitting Zetec S Rear Spoiler
steviepat posted a topic in Ford Modification DiscussionsHi all I'm new here but not to Fords. I've just bought a 2010 Fiesta Titanium 5 door and decided to fit the zetec s rear spoiler. Managed to pick one up mint condition same colour as the car (lucky), but when I've come to fitting it 2x screws from behind the brakelight are almost impossible to relocate. Also the brake light wire and rear washer tube don't appear to reach. Is their a kit which extends these or is it simply a case of joining on? Or is their slack that could be pulled through. Any help would be appreciated cheers

Meet Megan
In the past, I have mainly taken care if horses, cats, and dogs. I also have taken care of fish, turtles, ducks, and peacocks. I take care of people's houses and animals while the owners are on vacation for a week or two at a time. Typically, I will stay at the house so it is easier to complete chores. I have been around horses my entire life, as my parents own and operate a farm near town. Therefore, I have many years of experience. I can feed horses, turn them out, work them, and clean stalls. I enjoy being around animals and talking care of them. As far as an hourly rate, I usually let the owners set that. I do great work and have gotten paid well in the past. I just expect that if I have to travel a significant distance, that they pay will be slightly increased. Feel free to contact me for any details. Thanks for your interest!

Article Summary
Some of the concept cars that turn up at motor shows seem a little bit mad, but the smart forstars scheduled to be unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show (September 29 - October 14) is a car that seems to have developed a particularly serious identity disorder. On the one hand, it's an electric SUC (Sports Utility Coupé). On the other hand, it's a mobile video projector for staging impromptu cinema outings on any handy blank wall.

What We're Loving: Dune, Anno, Common Prayer
November 9, 2012 | by The Paris Review
Not long ago I had the honor of officiating at the wedding of a Swede and a Russian Jew. It was not a religious ceremony (unless you count the Universal Life Church), but when the three of us sat down to discuss vows, the bride and groom agreed that the Book of Common Prayer couldn't be beat; we just had to kill the "obey" clause and the stuff about God. It felt funny, crossing out words in my great-grandfather's prayer book, but according to a new monograph by Daniel Swift, Shakespeare did pretty much the same thing, repeatedly. Shakespeare's Common Prayers: The Book of Common Prayer and the Elizabethan Age makes a case for the Anglican liturgy as a work of politics and art and as a crucial influence on English literature. It made for perfect candelight reading after lower Manhattan lost power. —Lorin Stein
John Jeremiah Sullivan Answers Your Questions
August 31, 2012 | by John Jeremiah Sullivan
This week, our Southern editor, John Jeremiah Sullivan, stepped in to address your queries.
Dear Paris Review,
I live in the deep south and was raised in a religious cult.
Still with me?
Okay. I'm attempting to throw off the shackles of my religious upbringing and become an intelligent well-informed adult. My primary source of rebellion thus far has been movies. I would watch a Fellini movie and then feel suddenly superior to my friends and family because they only watched movies in their native tongue (trust me I know how pathetic this is). My main question involves my reading selections. Obviously, I have stumbled upon your publication and am aware of its status as the primary literary periodical in English. Also, I have a brand-new subscription to the New York Review of Books, since it is apparently the intellectual center of the English-speaking universe. I am not in an M.F.A. program or living in Brooklyn working on the Great American Kindle Single, I'm just a working-class guy trying to take part in the conversation that all the smart people are having. This brings me to my question: What books should I read? There are so many books out there worth reading, that I literally don't know where to start. To give you some background info: I was not raised as a reader and was not taught any literature in the Christian high school that I attended. What kinds of books do I like? My answer to that would be movies. I'm desperate to start some kind of grand reading plan that will educate me about the world but don't know where to start. The classics? Which ones? Modern stuff? Should I alternate one classic with one recent book? How much should I read fiction? How much should I read nonfiction? I went to college but it was for nursing, so I have never been taught anything about reading by anybody.
I realize this stuff may be outside of your comfort zone, as most of the advice questions seem to be from aspiring writers or college-educated people. Please believe me when I say that I am out of touch with the modern world because of a very specific religious cult. I want to be an educated, well-read, cultured, critically thinking person but need some stuff to read. Before I end this letter, I'll provide an example of just how out of touch I am: you know how "Ms." is the non-sexist way to refer to a woman, and that "Mrs." is sexist? Yeah, I just found out about that. I'm twenty-five.

Oh, really nice! Love the soft colours and light!
Wow. There's recently been an influx of these fob watches and I'm completely enjoying it! Outstanding! I love that shine on the plate! The curve of the watch complements the curve of the plate beautifully. Outstanding composition! Beautifully executed! I love this!
it feels so much like Alice And The Wonderland.
I really love that tale. Its one of my favourites.

wow, your works gives me a lot of inspiration *hug*
Beautiful, love it!
Time passes by, but you sure do spend your time in the best way possible, taking amazing photographs!
This is priceless. Those silver tones with the cups coils and the watch... wow
Amazing work, great composition in a square as well, well done!
Amazing work, great composition in a square as well, well done!
simply beautiful
So beautiful, timeless and elegant. WOW.
It's beautiful, but it's rather dark. The white's aren't white. You should compensate for all the white by overexposing 1 maybe 1 & 1/2 stops.
I personally think that the light is almost even, relaxing almost. Not every artwork has to POP, sometimes it's a nice change when things are bit dulled down and calming.
Elegantly beautiful.
very unique and clear. Beautiful job.
That looks identical to a clock necklace I wore yesterday! It was a gift from my sister in law. Yours seems to be in better condition, as mine is starting to tarnish because I wear it so much.
wow very nice cute as always but there's an ambiance of nostalgy, old times (like for me tea times with my mom's aunt in a small village) I think it's the effect straight (book and watch)-ondulations (plate) that i like. so, nice, nice
So pretty and slightly vintage which I love
I wish i had a pocket watch like that one ...<3
This is so cool!
Beautiful tea cup set and pocket watch! ^^
Beautiiiful clock!!!
This is a great photo. Nice blend of objects..
i have that pocketwatch! spooky
Beautiful photography *-*
Really nice!

The Lake Wylie Rotary Club held its Spirit of Service Scholarship Awards on Tuesday night, May 19, having narrowed down the field of nominees to five students from the Clover High School. After welcome and introductions, the Club listened to the presentations of the 5 Student Finalists selected by a panel of judges. Each student was given the opportunity to make a presentation about their service to the community. A team of Rotarian judges selected the winners.
The club also recognized two other prestigious awards during the event: Unsung Hero; and Rotarian of the Year.
To View More Photos of the Celebration, Click Here.
Maggie Ballard, who will major in education at the University of South Carolina, was awarded one of the top $2,000 scholarship awards. She has a heart for mission work and reaching out to those that are less fortunate. She worked with students that had "special needs", worked as an afterschool and summer camp counselor for the YMCA. She has also participated in short-term mission trips to provide assistance in Honduras.
Emily Atkinson, who will attend Anderson University to prepare to become a Physical Therapist, was awarded the Clover High School Interact Club $2,000 scholarship.

This past year, she participated in the Special Olympics and has volunteered for Rideability, which is a program for children with disabilities. She also has plans to continue to play an active role in Rotary at Anderson University in the Rotaract Program.
The decision to the first place Scholarship Award is always a difficult and daunting task for the judges. The three other students; Rachel Capps, Billy Gallien, and Mia Jeanty, were each awarded a $500 Scholarship. By all means, these student's activities were just as impressive and represented a significant contribution to our community.
The Lake Wylie Rotary Club is very proud to award these five outstanding students scholarships who all exemplify the Rotary International Motto of "Service Above Self". The LWRC is able to provide this opportunity to our local students primarily from the funds raised by the Annual Lake Wylie Luau, which will again be held on Saturday, September 12, at the Red Fez Club.
Congratulations to our 2015 Spirit of Service Scholarship Recipients.

NSA's Intellipedia page on Edward Snowden is under construction
After Jason Smathers wrote about Intellipedia, the American intelligence community's internal wiki, last month, a number of MuckRock users submitted requests for various Intellipedia entries.
The National Security Agency's response for the entry on Edward Snowden suggests that Intellipedia may not be quite so dynamic and heavily trafficked as its architects might hope.
Almost nothing came back. The redacted page on Snowden, marked Top Secret and slated for declassification on June 18, 2038, had been accessed 925 time when NSA FOIA officers hit print on January 22.
By comparison, the Vatican's largely unredacted entry — marked unclassified — had been accessed 10,034 times at the time of release.
The last recorded edit was from June 18, 2013. While there is no substantive information on the page so far, guidance to "see discussion" points to additional unreleased content that may not have been posted yet.
Request another piece of the Intellipedia by joining MuckRock today. Stay up-to-date on FOIA news by signing up for our mailing list, or by following us on Twitter and liking us on Facebook.

|Reviews for Most Prized Possession
| babyvfan chapter 2 . 1/14
Oh dear lord. You packed so much things into one chapter. Actually you packed so much into two chapters. I was cursing Jareth for walking away after hearing only half of what Sarah said, blowing everything out of context. I really didn't expect Nyx who's partly human to hate them so much or see them as lowly as he did. Seemed very hypocritical. His sister, Desdemona, actually was braver and more likable than I thought she would be. I really did feel bad that she fell hard for Sarah. Unrequited love really gets to me. Overall you did such a great job with the story. I loved it
| babyvfan chapter 1 . 1/13
Dear lord in heaven. I'm amazed by the fact you packed so many chapters into one, though I must ask. Is there a particular reason why you didn't just break them apart. So much goes so I don't even know where to begin but I can say this. Each chapter got better and better as the story went along
| SarahlouiseDodge chapter 2 . 10/6/2015
Loved this
| DoodleKichi chapter 1 . 7/23/2015
This is hands down .the best. fanfic I have ever read. This reads much more like a novel. It has length that is full of content instead of fluff. It has a nice balance between comedy, love, and action. It was impossible to put down. Thank you so much for writing this!
| Guest chapter 2 . 6/5/2015
The story was amazing. You have got a real knack for it!
| Scare Queen chapter 2 . 12/24/2014
Best Labyrinth fanfiction ever! And I have read a few. you captured the characters personality and everything about them perfectly. the only little thing that is wrong is that it was a tiny little repetitive... but then i have noticed that in books and I am little impatient as a reader but his was fantastic! Well done!
| Guest chapter 2 . 12/11/2014
Niiiiiice! I love this take, much more realistic image of the Goblin King, I think. Bravo!
| succubus1024 chapter 1 . 9/26/2014
This is to date. The best fanfiction i've ever read. Thank you so much for such a wonderful story.
| GooseyGoo chapter 2 . 8/5/2014
best labyrinth fanfic I have ever read.
| troubled rose chapter 2 . 6/21/2014
I love this story. Sooo much fun, the writing is lovely and flowed really well. I feel like if you broke this up into 20-30 chapters you'd have so many more favourites and reviews! Your readers would increase, I for one almost passed over it seeing it only had two chapters, until I realised the word count was intense. This could easily be one of the most popular Labyrinth fanfics on the site if you did that to encourage more readers! Anywho, loved it to pieces and it's on my favourite list. Well done and thank you! - T
| your-rara chapter 1 . 6/11/2014
i loved the potato chapter. it was so funny. love the story, best one I've read yet.
| LuvinAniManga chapter 2 . 3/23/2014
Woah. Not only was that a super-duper long story, but it was INCREDIBLE. I mean, WOW - all the depth and thought and characterization! That was AMAZING! And it was SOOOOO well-written too. Fantastic job! I really, really, REALLY enjoyed reading this story (though it definitely took a few days to get through it all, that's a for sure). This was an amazing piece of fanfiction, and so worth all the time it took to read. The characters were all so real and even the OCs were good additions. Thank you so much for the fantastic read, and keep up the great work!
| Andrea chapter 2 . 8/29/2013
This was such an amazing read, and I am so, SO glad that I stumbled across it. I love Labyrinth, always have ever since I was a child, and this story holds so true to the magic and wonder that that movie conveys (not to mention, the more adult scenes are beautifully and tastefully written, and extremely sexy.) I absolutely adore the love/hate relationship between Jareth and Sarah, and their dialog is just wonderfully funny in places, and beautiful and sincere, and everything a fan could ask for. That's what this entire thing is: everything a fan could ask for, and I personally want to THANK YOU for not making Sarah the damsel in distress in need of a hero, a rescuer, but instead making her the rescuer! It's just so...SARAH! I love how you incorporated all the beloved characters of the original movie with some amazing oc's... oh, I could gush and gush about how perfect this story truly was. Just so you know, for the past three days, I've been gleefully singing, "" You remind me of the babe," "What babe?" "The babe with the power," "What power?" "The power of Voodoo," "Who do?" "You do," "Do what?" "Remind me of the babe..."" because this fantastic story has put me in such a 'Labyrinth' mood, and I will indeed endeavor to watch it this weekend, and yes, this story is what I will forever choose to believe what happened after the credits! Thank you so much for sharing your obviously amazing talent with us and writing such a wonderful story! Loved it!
| FatalStarshine chapter 2 . 7/28/2013
I finished!
This story will definitely be added to my favorites so that I can enjoy reading it over and over again. Everything tied itself together perfectly at the end, and a small part of me wished for an epilogue just so it wouldn't end yet. Loved all of it!
| Lozzarooni chapter 2 . 7/28/2013
What a fantastic story this has been to read. It's taken just over two days to finish reading and there have been some classic one liners scattered throughout this. As I hoped at the end of the first part of this story there was a lot more angst involved and a brilliant conclusion of many story arcs that had been developed. It flowed beautifully and was what even better was the fact that I could read multiple chapters without having to keep clicking the next button. Your characters were well developed and it was a brilliantly written piece of fiction. It was completely original and it's now one of my faves, I'll be definitely re-reading this.

From Victorian to Beachfront
Galveston's historic neighborhoods provide homeowners many unique opportunities. With hundreds of historic structures on the National Register of Historic Places, and thousands of historic houses, Galveston is one of the country's most important concentrations of late 19th- and early 20th-century architecture. From stately mansions to quaint cottages to the conversions of downtown buildings to residential lofts, Galveston's older neighborhoods offer a wide range of housing options to fit any budget.
Galveston Historical Foundation, a non-profit organization, advocates for the preservation of the Island's historic buildings and neighborhoods, as well as maritime history. This advocacy translates into a number of different programs that include management and interpretation of historic sites and maritime vessels to educational programs for adults and children.
One of the most active divisions of the organization is the preservation outreach to historic neighborhoods and owners of historic properties. Preservation Services volunteers and staff manage these preservation programs, including rehabilitating houses for low- and moderate-income owners, reclaiming architectural salvage for the resale at their Architectural Salvage Warehouse, and offering assistance in the research and maintenance of local historic properties.
New programs work to educate owners about green building techniques that complement the preservation of historic structures such as energy audits, conservation methods and hazard mitigation strategies.
Galveston Historical Foundation (GHF), the oldest historic preservation organization in Texas, was chartered in 1871 to preserve Galveston's history.

Modern homes on Offatt's Bayou or raised homes overlooking the beach or bay are available for homebuyers more attracted to waterfront property. From new single-family residences on the beach to condos in restored historic buildings, many new projects have begun and many are on the horizon for housing on Galveston Island.
The Island also offers more traditional housing – ranch-style homes built from the 1950s to 1980s – in neighborhoods throughout much of the Island.
Galveston Island subscribers to Galveston Association of Realtors MLS have reported sales are continuing to improve since the recovery from Ike. From January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, 539 residential homes were sold on Galveston Island through MLS. The average sale price for a home was $234,526 and the median price was $180,000 (the condominium average was $142,960). A three-bedroom, two-bath home with a garage and 1,600 to 1,800 square feet of living space sells for an average price of $140,400 if located from east Galveston to the west end of the seawall, and $327,100 if located west of the end of the seawall.
Renters also find a variety of housing styles from which to choose. Because rental property is in high demand, plan on allowing at least a month to find the place just right for you. Houses are available for rent, as well as a large number of attractive loft apartments that have been created on the second and third stories of Victorian buildings downtown. Many apartment complexes, both large and small, round out the Island's rental market.
The median cost of a 900-square-foot apartment is about $615 per month.
Island real estate agents or an apartment locator service will be glad to assist you in finding a home, apartment or condominium that fits your needs, budget and lifestyle.
Throughout the Island, neighborhoods are tight-knit and friendly. For example, neighborhood groups are active in litter cleanup and crime watch programs. Successful neighborhood watch programs bring neighbors together and help them protect themselves against potential problems such as thefts and burglaries.
Crime, a concern of everyone in the U.S. today, is no different in Galveston than any other community its size, police say. The Galveston Police Department has embraced the principles of community-oriented policing in an effort to partner with the citizens of Galveston for a meaningful reduction in crime. The city has been very carefully divided into patrol areas unique to the neighborhoods in those areas. Crime prevention initiatives have been developed in each of those areas that emphasize programs for youth, the elderly, code enforcement, narcotics, prostitution, graffiti, and other nuisance crimes that result in a deterioration of our neighborhoods.

Areas that form part of the 'Gateway to the Garden Route' offer a lot of value for money for those people who are keen to buy a holiday home or a weekend retreat according to Jennifer Seggies of Pam Golding Properties' Riversdale branch.
"Towns like Heidelberg, Witsand, Barrydale – on the border of the Little Karoo, or the Western Cape hamlets of Suurbraak and Vermaaklikheid provide excellent buying opportunities for people looking to buy something away from the city," she says.
"While much of this area has yet to become as popular as places like Greyton – where house prices are considerably higher – this is set to change as people are prepared to move further from the cities to experience the affordable lifestyle that these country villages have to offer," she says.
Property prices in these towns are apparently low with a four bedroom house in Heidelberg selling for just R495k and a property in Riversdale with rental income of R4k a month selling for R585k
"You can buy a fisherman's cottage almost on the beach in Witsand for R655k and a five bedroom (all en suite) house in Barrydale for R825k," she says.
Apparently more and more buyers are expressing interest in these off-the-beaten-track areas particularly as many of them are virtually crime- and stress-free environments.
"Comparable homes in the cities or popular holiday destinations sell for considerably more money but all indications are that that will change in the next few years," Seggie says.
"We're also seeing a steady increase in enquiries regarding lifestyle and commercial farms – again often associated with those retiring, or young families wanting to invest in a self-sustainable lifestyle," says Seggie.
Located approximately halfway between Cape Town and George, these towns are all situated relatively close together, offering outdoor pursuits that include fishing, whale watching, water and sea sports, hiking or farming.
There is a thriving creative, cosmopolitan community in Barrydale where the Langeberg Mountains join the Little Karoo – an area which has an amazing variety of plants for nature lovers including mountain fynbos, patches of endangered renosterveld as well as succulent Karoo vegetation.
Located at the foot of the Sleeping Beauty mountain and known as the Floral Paradise of the Garden Route, Riversdale is just off the N2 highway between the Langeberg mountain range and the sea, easily accessible to Mossel Bay, George and close to surrounding seaside towns such as Stilbaai and Witsand.
It has a busy and expanding business centre with a cluster of large chain stores and banks. However, with a moderate climate and rainfall throughout the year, farming is the main industry of the area including dairy, cattle, wheat, grain, fruit, sheep, ostriches, export flower farms and honeybush tea production.
Houses in Riversdale include solid family homes, convenient lock-up-and-go units, historic Victorian homes and spacious smallholdings close to town, with prices ranging mainly from R400k to R2-million.
"A hidden gem just off the N2, Heidelberg's main street comprises original old houses, many almost untouched since they were built. There's the church, designed based on a church in Heidelberg, Germany, hence the name of the town. The original farmhouse around which the town has developed has been restored and this town offers exceptional value starting at prices of just R395k and ranging up to about R1-million for a large property in a treed garden of 3000 sqm," she says.
Only 30km away is Witsand, a charming fishing village on the banks of the magnificent Breede River at San Sebastian Bay. It has 400 permanent residents and a two bedroom weekend getaway property is on the market for R850k.
There is also a three bedroom, two bathroom fishing bungalow with indoor braai priced at R655k.
Located on the popular R62 wine route in the fertile fruit-growing Tradouw valley, the vibrant village of Barrydale is the gateway to the Klein Karoo to the north and the Overberg to the south.
It is surrounded by the Warmwaterberg and Langeberg mountains, with the perennial Huis River running right through the village and natural springs in the area. Many of the elegant old homes in Barrydale were built with the fortunes acquired by the ostrich barons in the early 1900s, and there remains a large farming community today, although the village now attracts those from all walks of life, including artists and craftsmen, or those seeking business opportunities on this popular tourist route.
Homes in Barrydale range from restored cottagey nagmaal huisies to more modern Karoo style dwellings, and are on the market with prices starting at R600k.
"The homes are generally well maintained with beautiful gardens which often include fruit trees and grape vines with lei water dams and irrigation. Vineyards, sheep, cattle, horses, ducks and chickens form an appealing and integral part of the rural atmosphere of the village. There are resident artists, active clubs, excellent restaurants, craft shops and guesthouse establishments which all add to the unique make-up of this quaint village. There's even the Barrydale Winery, which produces excellent wines and is world famous for its Joseph Barry Cape Pot Stilled Brandy. There are also several nature reserves in the vicinity which include the Big Five," says Steggie.

That day has finally arrived: Crucial is selling a 1TB SSD for just $600. Not only is this the first mainstream SSD to offer a terabyte (960GB) of capacity, but it also clocks in at just 60 cents per gig — by far the cheapest high-capacity SSD on the market.

That translates into roughly 1.5 million fewer young Americans at risk of pregnancy, unwed parenthood, sexually transmitted diseases, not to mention premature heartbreak and sexual ennui.
What changed? How do we account for the dramatic reversal of what many said was an unstoppable trend? Did TV, movies or pop music become less vulgar in the '90s? Certainly not.
"The only thing that changed in that time frame is the amount of talk and programming for abstinence until marriage," LeAnna Benn, director of the Teen-Aid abstinence program in Spokane, Wash., pointed out to The Washington Times. "The federal Title V abstinence program is having a tremendous impact," agreed Peter Brandt, of Focus on the Family.
Yet when the government first set aside funds for abstinence-only education in the mid-'90s, cynics jeered and critics sniffed. We have no proof such programs work, they said. (Some are still saying it.) Of course not. Only after government chooses to fund good demonstration projects and evaluation research will such proof emerge.
So now we know, for example, that "virginity pledges" work. Researchers reported in the American Journal of Sociology that taking the pledge reduces the probability a teen will initiate sex by one-third. Among students who took the virginity pledge AND whose parents disapproved strongly of premarital sex, the likelihood that teens would be sexually active dropped by three-quarters.
A study published in the Journal of Health Communications reported on the "Not Me, Not Now" program, which used radio and TV ads to promote abstinence among teen-agers in Monroe County, N.Y. The sexual activity rate of 15-year-olds dropped from 46.6 percent to 31.6 percent, according to the journal. Oh yes, and the pregnancy rate for girls aged 15 to 17 fell from 63.4 pregnancies per 1,000 girls to 49.5 pregnancies during the period the ads were aired. Other programs for teens that have a strong message about the importance of postponing sex report similarly powerful results.

Furyk, Snedeker among notables to miss cut
GolfChannel.com Associate editor Will Gray talks to Bailey Mosier about some of the notable players that missed the cut at the 2015 Masters.guys missed the cut at plus two including notable names like a Jim Furyk , Mr. Consistency. Will, what happened to Jim this week? Jim Furyk packing his bags a little early. It's amazing to think this is his first missed cut in any event since the 2013 British Open but Furyk. Listen Bailey, I don't know what the key is to playing Augusta National , but I do know that when you go 30 straight holes without a single birdie, that is not ideal. But that is what Furyk did this week. Dug himself a really big hole early on. Got a six over at one point, and even with a few birdies coming down the stretch, missed the cup by a shot. And it's also surprising, considering the fact that he had come in with four straight top 25 finishes at the Masters. So he clearly knows how to play Augusta National . Just didn't have it this week. I don't like to go nine holes without a birdie, let alone 30. There you go. That's why you're who you are. That's why I'm Birdie Bailey, right? JB Holmes also missed the cut. He's having a career, you're coming in hot off a win last week, why did, why did it it stop for him? Yeah the momentum did not carry over from the playoff victory at the Shell Huston open, Holmes had five Top 25 finishes in his last six starts, including a pair of runner-ups in that victory last week. And he's a bomber off the tee, so we really expected a big week from him. He's another guy that dug a really early hole, a four over 76. In the opening round, proved too much to overcome, he shot a 1 under 71 in Friday's second round, which would have been good enough, if he had played better on Thursday, but he's a guy who likes to flight his ball from left to right, he hits a fade predominantly and as we know, Augusta National for the right handers, they place at the draw and he just didn't have the right shots off the T this week.
Golfing World: Tiger's ongoing pain; MAJ's wedding
On Tuesday's GW News we bring you the latest from Tiger Woods, a roundup of the weekend's action and cause for celebration for Miguel Angel Jimenez.Hi, I'm Cara Robinson, and this is GW News. We start with Tiger Woods and his road to recovery after ongoing back surgery. The world number one posted a lengthy blog on his official site yesterday, stating that he simply didn't know when he'd be back and that it's a very slow process. And Woods' injury means he won't be back to defend his Player's Championship title this week either. J B Holmes meanwhile became the latest player to book his place at TPC Sawgrass thanks to a victory at the weekends Wells Fargo Championship. Holmes finished at 14 under a stroke, clear of Jim Furyk to claim his first victory in six years. Felipe Aguilar's another who secured his first win since 2008 after a remarkable end to The Championship at Laguna National. The Chilean carded 28th on the back nine, which included a birdie at 17 and eagle at the 18th to edge out David Lipsky and Anders Hansen . Across to the LPGA now, where Stacy Lewis finally returned to the winner's circle. Winless since last year's British Open, Lewis had six second place finishes in her previous 16 appearances, but she blew away the field at the North Texas LPGA Shootout. Six birdies and an eagle helped the American finish 16 under par, six strokes better off than second-place Meena Lee and pick up the win. And finally we bring you news of wedding bells after Miguel Angel Jimenez tied the knot with partner Susanne Styblo. The pair exchanged vows in Torelinos in Jiminez's native Spain, and comes two weeks after
