text: Nasa's next giant leap Space 17 August 09 by Sean Wilsey This article was taken from the September issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineIt was the day before launch (L-1, in Nasa parlance) and I was going to Kennedy Space Center, or KSC, in Cape Canaveral, to watch what Nasa still calls the Space Transportation System (STS) - and the rest of the world calls the space shuttle - head for low Earth orbit (LEO). (Nasa is a constellation of acronyms and abbreviations, so many and so arcane that they take on a quasi-mystical quality - to quote one public-affairs officer (PAO), "We have all these wonderful acronyms... I can't remember what half of them mean.") The shuttle, ?ying for nearly 30 years now, ideally offers very little in the way of excitement - but with the whole programme slated for retirement in 2010, this mission (STS-126) was the last one scheduled to launch by night, and I'd been told to expect drama, the sky relit by a controlled explosion of rocket fuel turning night back into day.The road to Canaveral was like a line across a ?at green mirror - trees, water, re?ections of trees - till nature gave way to the asphalt and advertising of the coast. I checked into the Cocoa Beach Hilton, went swimming and read Tom Wolfe's classic history of early cowboy-era space ?ight, The Right Stuff. Wolfe devotes some of his more scalding observations to the Cocoa Beach nightlife, full of contractors, street-racing astronauts and former Nazi rocket scientists who "materialised as if from out of a time warp... pummelling the piano in the cocktail lounge and singing the 'Horst Wessel Song' [the Third Reich's national anthem]!"After sunset I crashed a prelaunch party happening on my hotel's deck. I walked in with no problem, a goofy/boozy atmosphere in effect - congressmen and contractors mingling and drinking. By a buffet, I heard a woman in a trilby, chest decorated with an illuminated brooch of Earth-orbiting LEDs, ask, "Are you the movie star?"A man replied, suavely, "I was in a movie." "What movie?""Office Space."He then signed her ID badge: Ron Livingston. I introduced myself and asked what he was doing there."I'm going into space. If a monkey can do it, they ?gure I can."He gestured to the man next to him ("This is Bert from Nasa"), who invited me to a "night viewing" of the shuttle: the last public opportunity to get up close and see the thing illuminated on the launch platform before the following day's liftoff. "Come to the Residence Inn at midnight," Bert said.On the bus to the viewing, I could see KSC's main landmark, the vehicle-assembly building (VAB), a towering white cube emblazoned with an American ?ag and a massive Nasa logo: a blue circle full of stars bisected by a forked red velocity trail, known, mysteriously, as "the meatball". After passing through security, we marvelled at KSC's time-capsule-like assemblage of mid-century buildings (like visiting the future and the 1960s simultaneously) and the juxtaposition of so much nature - white birds that looked like Egyptian ibises, reptilian marshes - and so much technology.At the viewing site, Bert warned me, "Watch out for alligators."Forty years earlier, in his book about Apollo, Of a Fire on the Moon, Norman Mailer described this place, pad 39-A - the actual liftoff point from which the massive Saturn V rocket had carried America's astronauts to the Moon - as "a shrine... welcoming footsore travellers at dusk". In the distance, hydrogen over?ow was being burned off, calling to mind a ceremonial torch.Later, when I found Bert from Nasa he was talking with "Nasa's 143rd employee" about someone called Neil."Who's Neil?" I asked."Neil Armstrong," Bert said. "You were standing right near him."Nasa is now 50. The moonwalk was 40 years ago in July. The Nasa of yore did the unimaginable in eight years, making good on President Kennedy's assertion that "this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." It succeeded for two reasons: access to a staggering 4.4 per cent of the federal budget (now it's 0.5 per cent) and a national desire for Americans to believe in themselves - and in something more than themselves. Since then, Nasa, vision ?ickering, public imagination no longer enthralled, has stooped to offering belittling practical justi?cations for space ?ight (GPS, mobile phones, non-stick frying pans) that ground and practicalise the sublime, killing its poetry.In explaining why space is worth exploring, as Nasa frequently ?nds itself doing, there's a mistaken supposition, because - as with anything of real value - the bene?ts are largely unknown. It's a philosophical matter, almost religious in its insolubility. Why do we need to love or live at all? The answer is in wondering. And Nasa is about wonder. Its last administrator, Michael Griffin, attempted to re-instill that wonder when he gave a series of soaring, sermon-like speeches, and asked, "What is the value to the United States of being involved in enterprises which lift up human hearts everywhere when we do them?" His answer: making the world unite. (Or, in ?awless Nasa-ese: doing "the kinds of things that make others want to work with us to do them".) But now, just a few decades into the endeavour, all is uncertainty. Barack Obama, a Kennedy-like president who wants Nasa to "inspire the world", took office; Griffin was let go. Nobody outside Nasa knows what the United States is doing in space.The shuttle will stop ?ying in 2010, and the Russians will bring American astronauts into space for the following ?ve years. Meanwhile, Nasa will embark on the Constellation programme, an Apollo-dwar?ng series of missions that entails going to the Moon, building a base and staying there before setting off for Mars. A Mars mission will last two-and-a-half years. A projected 520-day Mars simulation will begin in Moscow this year. Three thousand eight hundred people are currently employed in building Constellation equipment, including the enormous Ares V rocket, the largest ever - designed to produce 11.8 million lbs of thrust (that of 50 747s) and have us back to the Moon by 2020. (If the recession doesn't kill the programme ?rst - the Obama administration has just begun a review of Constellation.) Nasa operates like its own country and, at its best, like countries don't even exist. The International Space Station, 669,000lbs of metal and tortillas 200 miles above you right now, assembled by former enemies, has been described as "the greatest engineering project in the history of mankind". But much as looking at the night sky clari?es the insigni?cance of mankind, looking at the federal budget clari?es the insigni?cance of Nasa. After the Americans beat the Russians, the US public lost interest in Apollo. And the interest never really came back. Now, with Constellation's plans for some of the most astounding things ever done in space, the agency is on the cusp of either a period of renewed health - a redux - or something like extinction.

The end of May is near and that means we're getting closer to the seven-week itch.
That's the period seven weeks prior to the Tely 10 when many runners find themselves attracted to every activity but training.
You're doing 23 weeks of jury duty! some say with a buzz. Where do I sign up?
The desperation stems from the fact that runs are getting longer and require the commitment of a U.S. presidential term, a job where even if you stage an unpopular war or the world economy collapses under your watch, you can't quit.
For Tely trainers who feel like packing it in, the way to stay in the game is by focusing on the excellent, enjoyable aspects of running.
You know, like ahhh...
Such asmmm...
The ahh...
Seriously though, runners feel a sense of freedom while pounding the pavement and the highs of accomplishment once their sneakers are off and their feet are up.
There are also the health benefits of scooting around the roads and trails. Energy increases and the weight is kept in check. (Or at least hopefully that happens, because right now my girth is more Tella tubby than Tely 10.)
If remembering runnings rewards doesnt inspire you, if a Brazilian wax job is more appealing than doing 5K, think about why you started trainingfor said health reasons... to prove something to yourself or someone else...so you can eat Chess loaded with gravy and not guilt
Whatever you do, try not to scratch the seven-week itch and abandon the training.
It'll be a reason for regret down the road, because youll have been done long before everyone else crosses the finish line July 26.

The most legendary staller comes here to express his disgust about shaming poor sportsmanship.
I really enjoyed your post Worthing: "This girl I really like quit Turn 13 so she just can't be a troll."
Well Worthing, here's some more info that might knock her off your pedestal:
1. Shiro implied "she's" not really a female at all.
2. Lecaf posted that she was leaving the game forever and judging by the personality shift in the current Lecaf, the girl you yearn for might not even be the same person.
As for the seemingly stagnant list, I have some high aspirations in life, so unlike you, I don't have the luxery of lounging around all day, just playing video games for the rest of my life.
Just trying to do my daily today led to a Turn 9 quit, but don't worry about being disgusted any more Worthing, I respect AD's advice and decided to follow it days ago.
You are in the circle. Perhaps you can see a few threads in their where I expressed how I didn't care too much for lecaf. I do not stall, in fact I can only recall doing it once to one person because of a childish grudge. That was probably almost a year and a half ago, maybe even two. I think you should stop with these silly little personal attacks and learn to lift.
P.S.- by gadu » Thu Feb 09, 2012 12:00 pm
Worthing, I've only known you for a short time, but you've become my favorite player. I hope you have great success at whatever you pursue. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know.

|Arc: Eddington vs. Sisko (2 of 3)
Sisko obsessively pursues Maquis leader Michael Eddington.
Sisko is in a Maquis colony on Marva IV to meet with an informant that claims to have information about the former Starfleet officer Michael Eddington, now the leader of the Maquis. The captain is met by none other than Eddington, who had already discovered the informant. Eddington transports away, and is pursued by Sisko aboard the USS Defiant. Sisko enlists the help of Captain Sanders and his ship, the USS Malinche, in delaying Eddington until the Defiant can arrive. When it seems that Sisko has got his man, Eddington triggers a cascade virus, disabling all of the Defiant's computer systems, leaving it effectively dead in space. This virus was planted by Eddington before he left Starfleet, further highlighting the depth of his betrayal.
After being towed back to the station by the Malinche, Captain Sanders informs Sisko that Starfleet has ordered Sanders to take over the hunt for Eddington. Sisko is furious about this development, as he took Eddington's betrayal personally.
The crew of DS9 learn of a Maquis raid on two Bolian freighters carrying selenium and rhodium nitrite, two seemingly innocuous materials. However, the Maquis use the chemicals to create cobalt diselenide, a chemical hazardous to Cardassians, but harmless to most humanoids. The Maquis attack a Cardassian colony with these biogenic weapons, forcing the Cardassian population to evacuate and opening the planet to Human colonization.
Sisko decides to take a barely-functional Defiant (due to the damage from Eddington's virus) to hunt down Eddington, and prevent further attacks on Cardassian colonies.
The Defiant encounters a Maquis raider signature inside plasma fields. When they approach it, they receive a transmission from Eddington. After a bit of banter, Eddington offers Sisko a copy of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, calling it one of his favorite books. Finally, the crew realizes that the Maquis Raider signature is a fake, there isn't really a ship there.
Later, the Defiant happens upon the Malinche, which has been ambushed by the Maquis who disabled their engines. They were fooled by a trick similar to the Defiant: their sensors detected a Cardassian freighter in distress, when they lowered their shields to transport the crew, they found that the sensor readings had been faked. In their moment of vulnerability, the Maquis attacked.
Back on DS9, Odo reveals that Eddington probably uses a Breen settlement as a base to keep his unstable weapon components. Based on that intelligence and Sisko's knowledge of Eddington, Sisko deduces the next target: Quatal Prime.
However, they arrive too late, only to see two fleeing raiders and transport ships evacuating the planet. The Defiant manages to destroy one of the raiders, but the other, Eddington on board, disables a Cardassian transport. With the plunging vessel out of transporter range, Sisko is forced to let Eddington escape in order to save the Cardassians.
When Eddington sent Sisko Les Misérables, he compared Sisko to a character in the novel, Javert, "a policeman who relentlessly pursues a man named Valjean, guilty of a trivial offense". Sisko realizes that Eddington sees himself as Valjean, the hero of Les Misérables, and that Eddington's self-perceived heroism could be used against him. In Sisko's words: "I think it's time for me to become the villain."
Sisko then proceeds with the same strategy the Maquis had been using, he prepares to launch biogenic weapons at a Maquis settlement. Sisko broadcast a message telling his intention. After Sisko launches the weapons, Eddington realizes the captain isn't bluffing. Sisko announces that he plans to continue his campaign against all of the Maquis colonies in the DMZ. Eddington offers to turn over the Maquis' stocks of biogenic weapons. Sisko shouts that that isn't enough. This leads Eddington to turn himself in to prevent further attacks, thus fulfilling the self-sacrificial part of his hero fantasy.
In the aftermath, Cardassian and Human colonists are resettled on the poisoned colonies, exchanging their former homes. Back on DS9, Eddington is turned over to Odo, and Dax has Sisko confess that he hadn't cleared his plot to poison the Maquis colonies with Starfleet.
Memorable Quotes
"He worked under me for a year and a half. I saw him almost every day. Read his reports. Had him to dinner. I even took him to a baseball game in the holosuite once. And I never saw it! It's my job to be a good judge of character, and what did I do? Not only did I not see it, I put him up for a promotion."
"He played his hand well."
"He played me all right. And what is my excuse? Is he a Changeling? No. Is he a being with seven lifetimes of experience? No. Is he a wormhole alien? No. He's just a man, like me. And he beat me!"
- - Sisko and Dax, discussing Eddington while Sisko punches the bag
"Sir, have you ever reminded Starfleet Command that they stationed Eddington here because they didn't trust me?"
"Please do."
- - Odo and Sisko
"Can't you see what's happening to you? You're going against everything you claim to believe in. And for what? To satisfy a personal vendetta?"
"You betrayed your uniform!"
"And you're betraying yours, right now! The sad part is that you don't even realize it. I feel sorry for you, captain. This obsession with me, look what it's cost you!"

Background Information
Story and script
- This episode is a sequel to the fourth season episode "For the Cause", and the Michael Eddington/Maquis story arc would later be resolved in the episode "Blaze of Glory".
- This episode was written by Peter Allan Fields, who was a co-producer during season 1 and a producer during season 2 of Deep Space Nine. Fields also wrote a number of episodes over the course of the first two seasons, but when he wrote this particular episode, he was retired from the television business.
- In a deleted or unfilmed scene, O'Brien and Bashir discuss Eddington and their opinion of him. The scene also mentions that Starfleet Accounting gets bills from Quark. O'Brien also tells Bashir a story Eddington told him about a Orion slave girl and a Talorian, a quadrupedal species. At the end of the scene, the pair realize they actually liked Eddington. As the scene was deleted, Alexander Siddig and Armin Shimerman do not appear in this episode. Cirroc Lofton also does not appear. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion - A Series Guide and Script Library)
- This episode marks the first use (and mention) of the holo-communicator. The idea to use this device was Ronald D. Moore's. According to Moore, "That's something I had been pushing for because I just think it's so absurd that in the twenty-fourth century they have holodeck technology that allows them to recreate Ancient Rome, but everybody talks to each other on television monitors. It's just so lame. The viewscreens have been around for over thirty years. Can't we move to something a little more interesting? But it's like pulling teeth." Ira Steven Behr was completely behind Moore's idea; "Viewscreen scenes are always difficult to pull off. The longer they are, the more boring they are, and having a character talk to someone on a viewscreen is very distancing. And it did work in this episode. We never could have had Eddington on the viewscreen for all of his scenes. It would have been dramatic death." Despite this however, the holo-communicator was not seen as successful in this episode, something alluded to by Gary Hutzel, "It was a terrible idea from the get-go. The idea was to create this amazing 3-D image, but TV's a 2-D medium, so it's hard to show that it's 3-D. So you have to move the camera around so that audience can see that it's 3-D, but then it could look to them like the guy beamed in. So you have to find a way to deal with that. It created all these problems that the writers hadn't thought about, and it missed the whole point of why Gene Roddenberry wanted a viewscreen: so you could avoid unnecessary expense." The holo-communicator would be seen only once more, in Sisko's office on Deep Space 9 in the episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Ira Steven Behr specifically sought out Eric Pierpoint for the role of Captain Sanders with the intention of having him become a recurring character throughout the sixth season, possibly killing him off later in that season. However, Behr never got around to putting his idea into action, and Sanders was never seen again. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Pierpoint, nevertheless, would return in other roles, including the recurring Section 31 operative Harris on Star Trek: Enterprise.
- The scenes on the USS Defiant bridge showing the crew operating the ship manually and relaying communications through Nog were written as a homage to a similar scene in the 1958 Robert Wise movie Run Silent, Run Deep. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode contains a subtle reference to the 1938 Michael Curtiz film The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. The scene where Eddington forces Sisko to look at the Maquis refugees is very reminiscent of the scene in the film where Flynn's Robin Hood takes de Havilland's Maid Marian to feed the starving peasants. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- This episode also contains a brief nod to the 1947 movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which is based on the 1939 short story of the same name. Dax remarks, "The secret life of Michael Eddington." As is the case with Walter Mitty in the movie, Eddington sees himself as a dashing protagonist, the "hero of his own story" in the words of Sisko.
- Sisko's disregard for his own ethical belief system and his violation of Starfleet policy in this episode seems to predict his actions in the sixth season episode "In the Pale Moonlight", where he will lie to the Romulans to ensure they enter the Dominion War on the side of the Federation. Interestingly, Peter Allan Fields wrote the story for that episode also.

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 06/13/2014 settlement date, which shows a 611,123 share increase in total short interest for Blackrock Kelso Capital Corporation (BKCC), to 5,050,437, an increase of 13.77% since 05/30/2014. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for BKCC at the 06/13/2014 settlement decreased to 527,401, as compared to 638,186 at the 05/30/2014 report. That brought "days to cover" up to 9.58, a 37.66% increase from the 6.96 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release.The below chart shows the historical "days to cover" for BKCC at previous short interest release dates:

Tanzania national golf team has flopped terribly in the Africa Zone VI championship that ended in Lilongwe yesterday.
The team finished third from the tail in the tournament dominated by holders South Africa who eventually retained the title for second year in a row.
Tanzania earned eleven points to stay as many and half points adrift of the winners. South Africa chalked 22.5 points to beat second placed Namibia by hefty 7.5 points gap as Kenya were third with 13.5 points.
We went from 2nd position to 7. We won only 1 and a half points.
Only Frank Roman won his match and John Saidi halved to take our total from 9 and a half to 11 points.
The full list of Tanzania golfer's final round performance is as follows.
Frank Roman beat Clive Zulu of Zambia 1-0,
John Saidi halved with Clive Nguru of Zimbabwe,
Nuru Mollel lost to Hafeni Nghinaamwaani of Namibia 4-3,
John Leonce lost to John Fallet of Zimbabwe 8-7,
Michael Makala lost to Gertrude Myburg of South Africa 4-2,
Elisante Lembris lost to Victor Kachepatsonga of Malawi by 3-2,
Abbas Adam lost to Joseph Karanja of Kenya 2-1,
Jimmy Mollel lost to Jaime Inguane of Mozambique 2-1.
It has been a shocking performance for the team that ended the previous edition staged in Mombasa in third place.
Ten teams competed in the event whose standings are:

We are committed to providing a level of service to our customers that makes us a leader in the airline industry. We understand that to do this we need to have a product we are proud of and employees who like coming to work every day.
Our goal is to make every flight a positive experience for our customers. Our United Customer Commitment explains our specific service commitments so that we can continue a high level of performance and improve wherever possible. The commitment explains our policies in a clear, consistent and understandable fashion. We have detailed training programs and system enhancements to support our employees in meeting these commitments, and we measure how well we meet them.
Welcome on board United Airlines!
On our website, at our ticket counters and city ticket offices, or when customers call United Reservations to inquire about a fare or reservation, we will tell customers that the lowest fare we offer may be available through one of our other sales channels, if that is the case.
We work hard to get you to your destination on time, as scheduled. There may be times when weather, air traffic control, operational or service considerations lead to flight delays, cancellations or diversions. When this happens we will make available the most current, accurate information about your flight's status that we have. This includes providing information about a change in the status of a flight to, from or within the United States within 30 minutes after becoming aware of a flight cancellation, a flight delay of 30 minutes or more in the planned operation of a flight or a flight diversion. We may use one or more of several ways to communicate this information, such as: providing information in the boarding gate area of a flight, on airport flight status display boards, upon request via phone with United Reservations, in flight status updates on united.com and, for our subscribed customers, voice and email alerts.
We work hard to get your checked bags to you on time. If your checked bags are delayed or misplaced, we will make every reasonable effort to deliver your bags within 24 hours. If you have expenses resulting from a baggage delay and are eligible to receive compensation, we will compensate you for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses. If your bag is lost, we will reimburse you for any fee charged to transport that bag.
When you book and ticket a reservation through United Reservations, united.com, at our ticket counters or city ticket offices, or if you use MileagePlus® miles to book an award ticket on United, we will allow you to cancel the ticketed reservation without penalty and receive a 100 percent refund if you cancel the reservation within 24 hours of purchase and if the reservation is made one week or more prior to scheduled flight departure.
We will provide prompt refunds for eligible tickets once we receive your request accompanied by any required documentation. When refunds are allowed we will provide prompt refunds, less any applicable service fees, to the original form of payment. In the event of a flight cancellation or oversale situation, we will refund fees charged to you for services for which you paid but were unable to use. You may seek a refund by sending a written request to United Airlines, United Refunds, P.O. Box 4607, Dept. NHCRF, Houston, TX 77253-3046 or to any United ticketing facility. Requests may also be made online at united.com, by calling United toll-free at 1-800-UNITED-1 (1-800-864-8331), by calling the number on the back of your Mileage Plus® card, or through your travel agent.
If you used a credit card to make your purchase, we will submit the request for a refund to the credit card issuer within seven business days of receiving your completed request for refund. The credit card issuer will refund the purchase price under the terms of the credit card agreement; your credit card statement may not immediately reflect the refund. For purchases made with cash, check or other forms of payment, we will issue your refund within 20 days of receipt of your completed request for refund.
Please make sure that you have canceled your reservation before requesting a refund and remember to provide the passenger's name, address, credit card number used for purchase, ticket number(s), date of travel and departure, and destination cities in your correspondence.
We are dedicated to offering convenient and comfortable service to all our customers. We will provide our customers who require adivitional assistance, including individuals with disabilities and unaccompanied minors, with the attention, respect and care they deserve. In doing so, we will accommodate passengers with disabilities, as required by Part 382 of U.S. Department of Transportation rules, and other special-needs passengers as set forth in our policies and procedures, including during lengthy tarmac delays. In particular:
Customers with disabilities
We work hard to ensure that our aircraft and our services are in full compliance with all applicable regulations, that our customers' needs are met and that we do not discriminate against passengers on the basis of disability. Our employees are specifically trained to support the commitment to our customers with disabilities.
You can ask for assistance when you arrive at the airport if you would like certain accommodations during your travel. There are, however, certain service requests which are required to be made in advance. This notice helps us plan ahead for your safe and comfortable travel. Please call our 24-hour Accessibility Desk at 1-800-228-2744 from within the United States or Canada. From other countries call United's Customer Contact Center and ask to be connected to the Accessibility Desk. You may also check the Special Travel Needs section of our website for details. During lengthy tarmac delays, our flight crew will make every effort to properly accommodate customers with disabilities or special needs.
If your travel includes another carrier, please check directly with that carrier for any of your travel needs as different policies and procedures may apply.
Requirements for minors who travel without an adult
We welcome young customers on our flights. We do, however, have rules about when a minor can travel alone and when an adult must accompany the minor during travel.
Children 5 to 15 years of age who are not accompanied on an aircraft by a parent, legal guardian or someone who is at least 18 years of age are considered unaccompanied minors and are subject to specific restrictions. Unaccompanied minors may only travel on nonstop flights operated by United or United Express®.
Children younger than 5 years of age are not accepted as unaccompanied minors. Children 5 to 15 years of age who are traveling alone must use our unaccompanied minor service and pay the applicable service charge. Children ages 16 to 17 may travel as adults on all flights.
Service charges
Children traveling unaccompanied pay the regular adult fare. An additional service charge is collected to cover extra service.
Travel arrangements for these young travelers can be booked at united.com or through the United Customer Contact Center. Please ask us if you need additional information about making arrangements for children traveling alone.
We are committed to operating a reliable schedule for our customers. Safety considerations, weather, air traffic control, operations and other factors may occasionally cause lengthy tarmac delays. We have a Tarmac Delay Contingency Plan and the necessary resources and processes in place to minimize such delays. Our plan has been coordinated with the airport authorities at all U.S. airports we serve and at designated U.S. diversion airports; with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at U.S. airports regularly used for our international flights; and with the Transportation Security Administration at U.S. airports we serve, including diversion airports. Should a lengthy tarmac delay occur, we will make every reasonable effort to ensure that your essential needs are met. If safety and security considerations permit, this includes providing snack food and drinking water no later than two hours after the aircraft leaves the gate (in the case of a departure) or touches down (in the case of an arrival); operable restroom facilities; and adequate medical attention if needed.
We also understand that our customers want timely and up-to-date information during lengthy tarmac delays. As such, we will update customers on the delayed flight every 30 minutes about the status of the tarmac delay, including the reason for the delay, if known. In adivition, if the aircraft is at the gate or another disembarkation area with the door open and the opportunity to deplane exists, we will notify customers of this opportunity every 30 minutes. However, customers deplane at their own risk and the flight may depart without them.
Occasionally we may not be able to provide you with a seat on a specific flight, even if you hold a ticket, have checked in, are present to board on time, and comply with other requirements. This is called an oversale, and occurs when restrictions apply to operating a particular flight safely (such as aircraft weight limits); when we have to substitute a smaller aircraft in place of a larger aircraft that was originally scheduled; or if more customers have checked in and are prepared to board than we have available seats.
If your flight is in an oversale situation, you will not be denied a seat until we first ask for volunteers willing to give up their confirmed seats. If there are not enough volunteers, we will deny boarding to passengers in accordance with our written policy on boarding priority. If you are involuntarily denied boarding and have complied with our check-in and other applicable rules, we will give you a written statement that describes your rights and explains how we determine boarding priority for an oversold flight. You will generally be entitled to compensation and transportation on an alternate flight.
We make complete rules for the payment of compensation, as well as our policy about boarding priorities, available at airports we serve. We will follow these rules to ensure you are treated fairly. Please be aware that you may be denied boarding without compensation if you do not check in on time or do not meet certain other requirements, or if we offer you alternative transportation that is planned to arrive at your destination or first stop-over no later than one hour after the planned arrival time of your original flight.
We will give you clear information about policies and service aspects that may be important to you on united.com and, when you ask, through our telephone reservations staff and our representatives at airports. This means providing clear information about:
We also make information about our MileagePlus frequent flyer program available on our website and in materials provided upon enrollment and in updates to MileagePlus members.
We understand that you need timely information about changes to your travel itinerary. If you provide us with your contact information, we will notify you using information in your reservation about any travel itinerary changes prior to the date of departure. For passengers who have made travel arrangements through a travel agent, United provides travel change information to travel agents.
We respond quickly to our customers' complaints. If you have a complaint regarding our services or our product, we want to hear from you. Information about where to direct your written complaint is on our website; on all E-ticket® confirmations; and is available upon request at each United ticket counter and boarding gate in the airports we serve. We will acknowledge written complaints within 30 days of receipt and we will send a substantive written response within 60 days of receiving your written complaint.
In order to reduce any inconvenience you experience during cancellations and misconnections, we will:

Rethink the Ren Brandon budget cut
I work in financial services downtown, and like others in banking, insurance, accounting and security downtown, I am astonished at the cut to Renaissance Brandon. Cutting into a revenue stream is extremely bad budgeting, but the hostile message it sends to the province, to business, to the developers of the McKenzie Seeds Building, to the hundreds of people who participated in the development of the city's strategic plan is appalling. Councillors need to rethink this extremely destructive act and what it says about an absence of common sense at city hall. Leadership means building this city, in accordance with the city's strategic plan and by maximizing all available resources, not settling petty personal scores by deliberately damaging our city.

Governor of the State of Florida, United States, visits LATAM Airlines Group
Santiago, May 22, 2013 -On a mission to promote investment in the state of Florida, United States, Governor Rick Scott was welcomed by Ignacio Cueto, CEO of LAN Airlines, of LATAM Group, one of the main air groups of the continent and the second leading operator between the state of Florida and South America, to continue making ties that allow strengthening and developing connectivity between the region and the United States.
During his visit, the Governor - Who was received also by the U.S. ambassador in Chile Alejandro D. Wolff- was accompanied by a delegation composed of Gray Swoope, Florida Secretary of Commerce and Ananth Prasad, Florida Secretary of Transportation. Also in attendance were Manny Mencia, Sr. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the International Trade and Business Development unit of Enterprise Florida and Ivan Barrios, Vice President, Trade Development Services at Enterprise Florida.
"It is an honor for LATAM Airlines Group to receive Governor Rick Scott at our headquarters, considering that the state of Florida is the main gateway to the U.S., and Miami is a strategic connection center for both LATAM Airlines Group and its subsidiaries, like TAM. By having the LAN Cargo headquarters in Miami, for many years there has been a very smooth relationship with the authorities of the state of Florida and we are working together to achieve breakthroughs to encourage traffic of the region to this state and so that each day more North Americans can visit and enjoy the attractions of South America, "said Ignacio Cueto.
For his part, Governor Scott said, "We had a great visit with LATAM Airlines Group and hope Florida can continue to expand our relationship with the company. With already 100 flights departing from Miami and Orlando to Latin America, we hope they continue to grow in the Sunshine State."
Miami is the main international cargo airport of the continent, handling between 80% and 85% of cargo transported between the United States and Latin America, of which 35% of this percentage is handled by LAN CARGO and its affiliate companies. In these facilities, the company has one of the largest and most modern cold warehouses of the locality, mobilizing weekly 3,800 tons of export and 4,000 tons of import.
LATAM Airlines Group, SA and its affiliates are the second leading passenger transport operator between South America and the United States, with operations in Miami, Orlando, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, having transported more than 3 million passengers to and from the country in 2012.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Gynecology hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report.
Myomectomy (my-o-MEK-tuh-mee) is a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids — also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs). These are common noncancerous growths that appear in the uterus, usually during childbearing years, but they can occur at any age.
The surgeon's goal during myomectomy is to take out symptom-causing fibroids and reconstruct the uterus. Unlike hysterectomy, which removes your entire uterus, myomectomy removes only the fibroids and leaves your uterus intact.
Women who undergo myomectomy report improvement in fibroid symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure.

Pakpour Consulting Group Leads Municipal Civil Engineering with Ongoing Carbon Neutrality
Pakpour Consulting Group believes that environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility, and as civil engineers tasked with providing safe, clean water and air to the communities it serves, PCG chose to be at the forefront of the fight against global warming and hope to lead other civil engineering firms to follow suit so it can become the first industry to achieve carbon neutrality.
"As a certified green business in Alameda County, going to a zero carbon footprint was the natural next step for us. Environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility, and as civil engineers tasked with providing safe, clean water and air to our communities we should be at the forefront of the fight against global warming," stated Joubin Pakpour, P.E., president of Pakpour Consulting Group. "We hope other civil engineering firms will follow suit so we can become the first industry to achieve a zero footprint."
"Carbonfund.org's mission is to improve the world by helping people reduce their environmental footprint. Their goal is to provide a forum for the massive and growing, but mostly unconnected majority of people – whether they think of themselves as citizens or business people, parents or consumers, activists or theorists who want to do the right thing. Action is impossible without information. Pakpour Consulting Group is proud to be working with Carbonfund.org."
Pakpour Consulting Group provides comprehensive municipal civil engineering design and construction management services for a wide variety of public projects. Services include serving as contract district engineer, water distribution systems engineering, civil plan review, transportation engineering, sewer and storm drainage design, hydrology studies, program management services, constructability review and construction management.
Since 2007, Pakpour Consulting Group has monitored, measured and ultimately neutralized its environmental footprint. Pakpour Consulting Group offsets the carbon emissions used in producing its supplies such as paper and packaging and its office electricity by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction, clean air technology and forest preservation projects. In the past five years, Pakpour Consulting Group has neutralized over 500,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions through Carbonfund.org – the same quantity of emissions produced by the average passenger car driving almost 550,000 miles.
"As part of this process we scrutinized almost all of our day to day operations and through innovative approaches, we now recycle 80% of our waste and have reduced our paper usage by 13% while the company has doubled in size," stated Pakpour.
In addition to the operational emissions measurement, reduction and mitigation, Pakpour Consulting Group is helping to restore the natural resources used to manufacture paper and other office supplies through tree planting, watershed restoration and conservation projects. Carbonfund.org appreciates the commitment to environmental leadership and action that Pakpour Consulting Group continues to demonstrate through these company-wide efforts.
CarbonFree® Partner Digital Hub Leads with Sustainable Printing Practices
The printing industry has made a lot of progress in helping its member organizations analyze and reduce carbon emissions from various aspects of the commercial printing process. These efforts to pursue industry sustainability have resonated with CarbonFree® Business Partner Digital Hub in very tangible ways.
Now in its fifth year as a CarbonFree® Partner, neutralizing its annual shipping emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's renewable energy projects, Mikal Martzel and Digital Hub has developed a broad range of environmentally responsible initiatives.
"We chose to partner with Carbonfund.org because we are on a mission to achieve as close to a zero carbon footprint as possible," explains Mikal Martzel, VP of Marketing, Sales and Environmental Policy at Digital Hub.
Over the past five years, Digital Hub has mitigated almost 400,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions through the CarbonFree® Business Partner program, equivalent to taking 37 cars off the road for a year.
Digital Hub produces all printed materials in-house, giving their staff complete control over the paper, inks and chemicals used to produce printed materials. This eliminates the chance of non-environmentally safe materials being used by an outsourced print vendor. Digital Hub also uses a waterless printing process when possible and reduces the chemicals used in traditional water-based offset printing methods.
In 2009, Digital Hub switched to 100% wind power for its electricity usage, further reducing its operational emissions. And their internal policies of "one stop" lunch service, in which all employees order lunch for delivery by the same local restaurant, paper and products recycling and food composting programs in their office adds to their sustainability initiatives.
Carbonfund.org is honored to partner with an industry leader like Digital Hub and commends their broad commitment to maintaining an environmentally sustainable business.

Why should these Democrats, who, momentarily, have majorities in both houses of Congress, vote to repeal this legislation, when so many of them have just lost their political careers to the wrath of a vengeful corporate America, which methodically (and brilliantly...we have to give credit where credit is due) engineered and financed their political demise, precisely because they had the courage to enact health care reforms?
To make way for the caveat, of course. (By the way, this is not our original idea, others have put it forward.)
Immediately after passing the repeals, they should pass a simple, straightforward amendment to the existing Medicare legislation, changing the age of eligibility to zero. The House of Representatives could pass it as a regular bill, the Senate could pass it through the "reconciliation" process, which is not subject to filibuster. Then they would need to pass a few more measures to eliminate some of the loopholes that require some of today's Medicare recipients to pay some of their health care costs out-of-pocket.
President Barack Obama's administration would need to stop thinking about getting re-elected in 2012 (re-election seems unlikely given unlimited anonymous corporate money to defeat him) and concentrate on getting the new system up and running in a very short time, so that people will be able to experience the cost of a slightly higher federal tax bill and the benefit of not having to worry about the direct costs of health care, for at least a year before the 2012 election and the likely Republican control of the presidency and both houses of Congress takes effect. Once the benefits start pouring in, those new Congress people will face massive opposition if they try to take them away (imagine what would happen if they tried to do away with today's Medicare).
Let's review those costs and benefits. The costs? Well, there really aren't any. Costs would go down, because the administrative and overhead costs, and the enormous profits of health insurance companies, will be replaced by expanding the already-existing Medicare administrative structure, a far less expensive proposition. Every developed nation in the world except the United States provides some kind of universal health care, and every other developed nation in the world pays much less per capita for it than we pay in the United States.
What about the prospect of "rationed health care?" Isn't that a cost? Perhaps, but it's important to remember that health care is being rationed right now, by insurance people who make money for themselves if they deny treatment, and lose money for themselves if they provide treatment. It's easy—so easy—to cry about the evils of "government control." Government control simply means that the people who will administer the health care system are ultimately responsible to the people, who can vote the administrators' supervisors out of office if they fail to do the right things. Do we want health care matters controlled by people who have a duty to the American people to provide health care; or do we want it controlled by people who have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to deny health care whenever possible so those shareholders can make more money? Again, there really aren't any net costs to this proposition.
Now the benefits. No one would ever have to fear that needed medical treatments would cost more than they could afford. In time, a healthier population will emerge, and that will increase the cost savings. Imagine what would happen to the economy if every resident, every business person, every state and local government person, every school district administrator knew that they would never again have to worry about paying directly for health care. How many more police officers, teachers and firefighters could be hired (or, libertarians, how much local taxation could be eliminated) if cities, counties and school districts didn't have to use tax dollars to pay for employees' health care? Imagine how much more money would be available for business people to invest in providing new jobs and expanding the economy. The economic benefits will be enormous.
Think about it, lame duck Democrats. The worst has already happened. The health insurance industry in particular, and corporate America in general, have already done what they can do to you. You've paid the ultimate price for your courage. Why not take this final opportunity to do what everybody was afraid to do because it would make the corporate people angry?

I'm not fond of the grassy land texture. It's clearly grass, and as such is too large for the scale of the map. Plus, the water is flat color rather than textured, which makes something of a mismatch to my eye.
I'm not sure how nice it will look without that texture, but perhaps if you simply had something with much smaller detail? You said you're not going for a photoreal look, though, so I think maybe either flat color or a stipple texture of some kind might be better.

Redmond citizens value a variety of housing options for those that call Redmond home. Four of the several ways that Redmond promotes choice in home types are through its Cottage Housing regulations, Innovative Housing ordinance, and through allowing and encouraging accessory dwelling units and backyard homes.
In 2002, the City adopted cottage housing regulations to provide a new housing choice in Redmond. A cottage is a single-family home of no more than 1000 square feet. Cottages include small yards, but are also situated around a community open space, which functions as an extended yard, recreation area, and community gathering space. At Redmond's Conover Commons, parking is provided either behind, below, or apart from the cottages themselves, allowing the front yards to serve as places for living.
In Redmond, cottages are built in groups of four to twelve homes, except where otherwise allowed by neighborhood regulations.
Redmond's Innovative Housing Program is a demonstration program, adopted in 2005, and extended in 2008. It facilitates innovation in design, site planning, and green building, while promoting neighborhood compatibility and the provision of affordable homes. The program has its own page – take a look!
Also called mother-in-law apartments, or simply "ADUs," these homes are secondary to an existing home and are allowed in all of Redmond's residential zones. In most cases, ADUs are limited to 1500 square feet; they may be attached to, or detached from, the existing home.
A backyard home is a single-family detached unit that does not exceed 1,500 square feet and that is affordable to an individual or family earning less than 120% of the area median income. These homes are allowed in the Education Hill neighborhood on single-family lots that are at least 200% of the minimum average lot size, or about 15% less land than would otherwise be required to subdivide a lot. See RZC 21.08.170E.2.a.ii for more information.
