How we talk here
Different places have different levels of decorum: We don't behave at church or synagogue or mosque as we would in the ballpark, and the way we talk to friends in a bar is not the way we would talk to our grandparents (well, probably not). My late brush with Farkers suggests that it would be good to point out what the decorum is here.*
Comments at You Don't Say are subject to approval — my approval — and while a wide range of opinions and forms of expression is permitted, there are limits.

2. You can speak freely in criticism of my views, my syntax, my diction, my wardrobe or just about anything you like, but childish name-calling and ad hominem abuse are tiresome and pointless; the latter will not be published.
3. You may criticize the opinions of other commenters, but mere abuse directed at them will not be published.
4. Defamatory and potentially libelous statements will not be published.
5. While this blog is somewhat looser and more indulgent than the print edition, vulgar, tasteless and offensive language is unlikely to be published.
This blog is intended for a grown-up audience. While we may sometimes grow sharp, we generally manage to remain civil. If civility bores you, strikes you as stuffy and archaic, then you are welcome to avail yourself of the many other venues the Internet affords for uncivil outbursts.

Back to school
August 16, 2012
By Wallace McBride, Fort Jackson Leader
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Teachers spent the week getting their workspaces ready for students at C.C. Pinckney and Pierce Terrace elementary schools. The new school year begins today, and children aren't the only ones to feeling a little nervous about the start of a new school year.
"It's just like an actor or an actress before an event," said Cynthia Francis, a kindergarten teacher at Pierce Terrace Elementary School, Wednesday morning. "You get butterflies. It makes you a little anxious, but it passes."
The week's activities began this week with an "Opening Ceremonies" event at C.C. Pinckney Elementary School, bringing together teachers, administrators and Fort Jackson command to celebrate the successes of the previous school year, as well as the possibilities of the coming year.
"Thanks for what you all do, and for enabling me to be a part of this special opening ceremony," said Brig. Gen. Bryan Roberts, Fort Jackson commanding general. "My mother and father were both teachers. My mother was one of you all, and taught elementary childhood education. If that wasn't bad enough, my father was a high school teacher. I have a tremendous amount of respect for teachers and what you do for young kids, and what you stand for."
Superintendent Samantha Ingram said 31 new teachers have joined the South Carolina- Fort Stewart-DoDDS Cuba District, 10 of whom will be teaching children at Fort Jackson.
"You are surrounded by a group of dedicated, committed professionals, and they're going to embrace you and make you a part of our family," Ingram told the newcomers. "We love our military defense children, and you can see that in our every-day actions."
"Every day, something we say or do has the ability to light a fire in a young mind, and with the first tiny flame, learning can become a bonfire," said Linda Curtis, acting director and deputy director for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment. "That little speck of excitement might be the trigger to light that bonfire."
Among those new faces at Fort Jackson schools is Annie Crandle, the incoming principal of C.C. Pinckney.
"I bring to you experience of working with children of all ages, all backgrounds, to make sure they reach their potential and that they are successful," Crandle told her colleagues during Monday's event. "We can make a difference in the lives of our children if we stay focused on the children. It's not about us, it's all about the children."
Citing an end of the year benchmark assessment, Ingram said 80 percent of the students in kindergarten and first grade at Pierce Terrace were reading at or above proficiency.
"We know that C.C. Pinckney's success also depends on the great work that happens at Pierce Terrace," Ingram said. "Third grade met three of their stretch goals in reading, mathematics and science on Terra Nova in the top two quarters. Our district teacher of the year was selected from right here on Fort Jackson, Miss Evetta Johnson from C.C. Pinckney Elementary School."
The new school year brings with it higher levels of pedestrian and vehicle traffic, especially during morning and afternoon hours. Administrators and Fort Jackson security officials are advising both parents and drivers to be mindful of road safety as the school year begins.
"Traffic gets pretty bad around the schools," said Brian Perry, principal of Pierce Terrace. "We encourage first and second graders at Pierce Terrance to be walkers, if possible. Our enrollment is up to about 325 (students), which is great news, but with that comes more traffic."
"We have zero tolerance for speeding in housing areas and school zones," Lt. Col. Ray Simons, director of emergency services for Fort Jackson, told an audience during an Aug. 7 town hall meeting at the Solomon Center. "So anyone who gets pulled over in those locations can expect a ticket. It will not be a warning."
A construction project has closed Gate 2 to traffic at Fort Jackson, creating a challenge for drivers leaving and entering the post. Parents who drive their children to school should add additional time to their travel plan to account for these changes. The Directorate of Emergency Services will have police officers in the school zones enforcing speed limits, as well as crossing guards at major intersections where children cross.
"I live in the Forest Acres community, and about a year ago that community was rocked," said Ronald Ross, garrison safety manager. "We had a tragic accident in which an 11 year old ... was struck by a vehicle. I don't know what caused that mishap. It could have been on the part of the driver, it could have been the kid. But the point I'm trying to make is that it was a tragic incident that should not have happened."
Ross said parents should talk to their children about traffic concerns, and to ask them to be mindful of inattentive drivers.
"Also, tell them to stay on that sidewalk and to walk, not run, especially in the vicinity of traffic," he said. "Stress to them that they need to use the designated cross walk."
Keisha McCoy Wilson, school liaison officer, said transportation to and from the post might be delayed.
"I've spoken to district representation and they wanted to convey that due to this closure, student pick-up and drop-off may be delayed," she said. "They will be making every effort to ensure an easy transition to and from post."

text: TalentFan - Unregistered July 06, 2012 6:14 PM @ Ron I reckon Dovi is SO close to being truly competitive with the 'aliens'. Only Dani really could be said to be closer to JL and CS without actually taking a WC.I've wondered many times if Dani had got on a factory Yam whether by now he'd have 1 or more WC's. He's another where the slightly less aggressive, less edgy handling of the Yam might suit him just enough more than the Honda to make the difference perhaps?The margins are small and Dovi is very, very good (I'm well happy that Cal can run with such an experienced and quality rider, let alone challenge him consistently on the same bike). Dovi might just be a proper challenger on the Factory Yam.

The intensity over the ballot question on a state Constitutional convention is heating up.
The once low-key issue is now a full-blown dispute as the "yes'' and "no'' sides accuse each other of being the narrow special interest in the fight.
The question is gaining more attention because the "no'' coalition has raised the surprising sum of $830,000 - mainly for a television advertising campaign that began this week to support their position. Overall, 45 labor, civil rights, and other groups have banned together on the "no'' side, while the Federation of Connecticut Taxpayer Organizations, the Family Institute of Connecticut, and the Roman Catholic Church have joined together on the "yes'' side.
The Connecticut State Employees Association, the state AFL-CIO, and various other unions have all joined the "no'' coalition.
"It was a below-the-radar story and focused mostly on the gay marriage issue'' before last week's State Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage, said Matt O'Connor, a spokesman for CSEA/SEIU Local 2001. "Gay marriage isn't one of our issues. It's about preventing special interests - like the Family Institute - from forcing elections on their fringe issues.''
The unions are particularly interested in blocking any attempt to repeal collective bargaining laws or changing the right to unionize, among others.
"That's why we have a dog in this fight,'' O'Connor said. "This is about pet issues. This is about special interests trying to make their issues happen.''
When asked about charges that CSEA itself is a special interest, O'Connor said, "I'm flattered. I'd like to think I'm special.''
Besides the unions, the "no'' coalition includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut, the Anti-Defamation League, Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, Planned Parenthood of Connecticut, Queers Without Borders, Teamsters Local 559, the Norwalk and Windsor Democratic town committees, and the professors' unions at the University of Connecticut and Connecticut State University, among others. Nearly 900 individuals, including activists Phil Sherwood of New Britain and Leo Canty of Windsor, are in the "no'' coalition.
Outraged by the television campaign, the "yes'' coalition held a press conference Friday and denounced what they described as the fear and lies that were being spread by their opponents.
Matthew M. Daly, the convention campaign chairman for the "yes'' coalition, said the idea started out as "a small grass-roots campaign'' that was "issue-neutral.''
"We are issue neutral, and we are about direct democracy,'' Daly said Friday, adding that the opponents have "been mendacious and openly lying'' about the special interest money in the campaign.
The "yes'' coalition says it has raised only $11,400, while the "no'' coalition has raised more than $830,000.
"We are being outspent 83 to 1,'' said John J. Woodcock III, a former Democratic state legislator who is helping to lead the effort for the "yes'' coalition.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell supports the convention as a longtime supporter of getting voters involved, but her multi-pronged viewpoint has nothing to do with gay marriage. She believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman, but she says that the State Supreme Court has ruled on the issue - and she supports the ruling.

Salvation Army of Roseville honors volunteers
By: Sena Christian, The Press Tribune
Organization served 215 people in September, needs more donations
The Salvation Army of Roseville considers volunteers the backbone of a community. So the nonprofit Christian organization honored its own volunteers with an annual banquet Tuesday evening. About 150 people gathered at the Sierra View Country Club in Roseville to recognize the work of the organization and thank standout volunteers. Attendees also enjoyed a live auction, which raised $550. The Salvation Army of Roseville provides food, clothing, rental assistance, utility bill assistance and showers for families in need in south Placer County. The organization served 215 individuals in September alone, including 40 first-time recipients. This year, more than 1,700 people have sought assistance from the Salvation Army for the first time. On Saturday, Oct. 23, the organization distributed 221 hot meals. "That's more than has ever been served on a single day," said the master of ceremonies for the evening Joe Newton, who also chairs the Salvation Army advisory board. The organization also sent early responders to the Westfield Galleria fire Oct. 21, and handed out slices of pizza from more than 100 large boxes and gave out dozens of cases of water. Recently, though, Roseville's Salvation Army has stopped giving out food boxes to hungry families because of a shortage of donations, instead distributing U.S. Department of Agriculture food bags, which contain a few cans of food and vegetables to last only a day or two, said Captain Chris Aird. The organization relies heavily on volunteers and community members and thanked a handful of them during Tuesday's event, including the late-Virgil Harrigan, a real-estate entrepreneur who left $5.5 million in bequests to 12 nonprofit organizations in Placer County after he passed away last year. The Salvation Army was one of the lucky recipients. Aird also honored Donna Caron, who rearranges her work schedule during the holiday season to assist with the Salvation Army's Christmas distribution. "This very special lady gives of herself," he said, "And she does it with a smile." Major Douglas Riley next presented Mike and Linda Stewart with the "Others" award, which acknowledges volunteers who go above and beyond the call of duty to help other people. Riley said the Salvation Army's national officers must approve nominees for this prestigious award. The Stewarts received praise for stepping up to help, reaching out to get their friends involved and serving as an inspiration to others. ~ Sena Christian

If you walked into your child's school...or any school in your child's district on Monday, and this is what greeted you, what would your reaction be?
Who cares? They can't vote.

I didn't realize this post still had legs! Sorry!
To recap- these are in a middle school that is used every night of the week by community groups. They are in the front hallway, so you have to walk past them to go anywhere else in the building.
The fact that the students cannot vote is IMMATERIAL.
The fact is, these posters were hung on Friday. They have not been up since 2009.
I have no issue with our students learning about our Presidential history...nor do I have an issue with the President serving as a role model to the many children who need one.
My question was about the timing. That's all.
For the record- if these were student created (which they aren't), informing about the candidate for a mock election, I wouldn't have an issue, as that is clearly student work. These are not.
And on the first poster is his campaign slogan from his successful campaign for President.
This has been a very interesting thread for sure. I appreciate the respectful exchange of ideas.

Cinelicious Collaborates on Super Bowl Spot for Suzuki
Press Release from Cinilicious Take Out:
Cinelicious Take Out delivered the visual effects artistry of Ben Looram to Bully Brothers Post to collaborate on the new Suzuki spot, "Sled," which aired on the Super Bowl.
The spot features an Inuit man driving through an arctic landscape in a Suzuki Kizashi, while he and his husky dog team rock out in the interior warmth and comfort of the all wheel Sedan. Confronted by his wife as to the whereabouts of the sled, he admits he traded it in for his new ride.
Maximizing the Cinelicious Take Out model, Looram integrated, networked, and setup the Take Out flame into Bully Brothers Post's existing infrastructure. Working closely with the creative team from Bully, Boxer and Agency Siltanen & Partners Advertising, Looram worked on shots to give the dogs a naturalistic – but animated – experience.
Looram recently led the VFX for the VW Super Bowl game day teaser ad (and viral sensation) "The Bark Side" via Deutsch.

Creating with CreateSpace: Part 1
By Shannon Yarbrough on June 1, 2009
I was first introduced to CreateSpace in 2007. Once my book, Stealing Wishes, was eliminated from the semifinals for the first Amazon ABNA contest, I was given my consolation prize which was a CreateSpace membership and the ability to publish and order a free copy of my book. I chose not to do this at that time and published the book with Lulu instead. But ever since we here at LLBR decided to add CreateSpace books to our review portfolio, I thought it would be a good experience to create something with CreateSpace and learn more about this company.

Thanksgiving dinner will cost a little more this year. Agricultural experts say the cost of a meal for ten adults will run $50.01 — about $3 more than last year. That price includes turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, rolls, peas, cranberries, a carrot and celery tray, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert.
How can you help cut the costs? If you're hosting a large meal with friends and family, have your guests contribute dishes. Also, start shopping now for non-perishable ingredients so you can take advantage of sales and coupons. And get a free turkey! Many grocery stores offer free turkey promotions if you spend a certain amount of money or buy specific products. Check weekly ads or ask your favorite store manager for details.

Joanna Dreifus, blogger from MyMomShops and single mom of two, shares her advice on ways to support another mom going through a divorce.
Four years ago this Fall, I became a "suddenly single" mom when my husband and I separated after five years of marriage. Our kids were then just 1 and 4. It was the right decision for many reasons, and while my life is very happy (albeit chaotic) now, at the time I could barely put one foot in front of the other.
Raising young kids is hard; raising them alone is even harder, whether it's by choice or not. Luckily, many friends stepped in to help me.
Here are my tips for how you can help a mom friend going through a similarly tough time.
1. Just listen. Whether your friend has recently split with her partner, or has decided to embark on parenthood alone, you will have questions. It's OK to ask, but follow her lead. Not everyone wants to rehash every detail. Offer a kind and sympathetic ear if she wants to talk.
2. Walk the walk. After my husband and I split, several well-meaning friends said, "Let me know if there is anything I can do"—but did nothing. And I couldn't bring myself to tell them, "I need size 5 diapers, tonight's dinner, and someone to do the laundry." Be proactive. Offer something concrete. To this day, I'm grateful to my friend Jessica and her husband for assembling our coffee table and installing our beloved Wii.
3. Bring food. Groceries. Toys. Anything. During my first few months of single parenthood, my friend Jennifer brought pizza over every Wednesday night, plus crafts or stickers for the kids. It was a godsend. Bonus: she played with the kids for an hour so I could get important work done.
4. Invite her and her kid(s) over often. Single parenting is lonely, especially on weekends. Our favorite Saturday mornings were spent with friends who invited us over for pancakes and playtime. The kids entertained each other, I laughed with grown-ups, and the long weekend on my own seemed less scary.
5. Hook her up (no, not that way). Introduce her to other single moms. Early on, my friend Kim introduced me to Caryn, another mom going through a grisly divorce. We're best friends now, and we joke that the "Divorce Fairy" brought us together. And we've created a larger circle of single mom friends who understand each other's situations.
6. Babysit. This one is particularly helpful for the 24/7 single mom who can't rely on a co-parent for a break. Free babysitting is just about the best gift you can give this mom. Give her an hour or two or your time so she can do errands, go out, or even just take a nap.
7. Don't forget about her. Single parenthood usually lasts for awhile. Remember to check in with your friend even after the initial crisis has passed. She will appreciate your help just as much a year from now as she does today.
Joanna Dreifus writes the blog MyMomShops. She lives in New York City with her 8-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, and serves on the board of YAI Network.

Business News
has left s.Oliver: Birgitt Gebauer
24 Aug. 2012
Birgitt Gebauer, who has been leading the operations of German fashion brand s.Oliver as General Manager for less than nine months, has unexpectedly stepped back from her position as emerged yesterday.
When joining the company in September 2011, Gebauer was at first responsible for the brand's product, marketing and sourcing departments. Since January 2012, she presided over the management board and started the strategic and organisational redirection of the company as General Manager.
Gebauer will initially continue to work for s.Oliver in a consulting position. Her duties will interim be taken over by company owner Bernd Freier until a successor is found.
Starting from September, the management board will thus consist of the following members: owner Bernd Freier, Thomas Steinhart, Henry Taubald and Mathias Eckert.
As announced in a company statement, the s.Oliver Bernd Freier GmbH plans to reorganize its managment in line with the started corporate restructuring process. No decalarations about concrete structures or personal fillings have been made yet.
Previous to her work for s.Oliver, Birgitt Gebauer has long years been working in different responsible postions at retail chain C&A.

Significant amounts of cocaine from South America transit the island of Hispaniola on its way to U.S. markets. In addition to posing problems for the U.S., the drug trade in Haiti undermines the rule of law in that fragile country by fostering corruption and fomenting armed violence perpetrated by criminal gangs and political opposition groups. The January 12, 2010 earthquake is having a tremendous effect on the way forward as the Government of Haiti (GOH) rebuilds and continues its efforts to improve the capacity of its law enforcement, corrections, and judicial organizations.
Strengthening Haiti's law enforcement capacity is a key U.S. Government priority. This includes: restoring the law enforcement capabilities of the Government of Haiti to maintain public order and reduce the attractiveness of illegal migration and the ability of criminals to traffic drugs into the U.S.; training (and vetting) existing and newly recruited Haitian National Police (HNP) to democratic policing standards to form the core of a credible, competent police force; enhancing the ability of the Haitian police to respond to reports of crime in a timely manner, conduct effective patrols, direct traffic, communicate effectively, and conduct internal and criminal investigations; decreasing the number of incidences of human rights abuses by police; and helping the GOH to develop a modern, secure, and humane prison system that protects the rights of both prisoners and the public.
Key Issues:
As recovery and rebuilding efforts move forward, it is important to continue our focus on improving the capacity of the HNP as a whole and to not neglect the reconstitution of key units such as the Haitian Coast Guard (HCG) and the HNP's counternarcotics unit, La Brigade de Lutte Contrele Traffic de Stupefiants (BLTS). With Canada investing in the HCG and looking to increase its efforts in counternarcotics, U.S. assistance to these units can leverage the impact of other contributions by establishing much needed professional standards and guiding other contributions to the most critical needs.
Program Components:
Civilian Police (CIVPOL) - Continue support for approximately 100 police officers and 10 corrections officers the U.S. is contributing to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH). U.S. officers will continue providing expertise in the areas of academy training, field training, patrols, community policing, investigations, traffic, crime analysis, forensics, police management, supervisory skills, police administration, and other specialized skills.
Haitian National Police - Support the HNP to recruit, select, and train qualified officers. Specialized units, including forensics, SWAT, and traffic will be strengthened and trained. HNP supervisory, management, and human rights training will be provided as well as periodic in-service training for existing HNP officers.
Police Accountability and Reform - Support the Inspector General's office to enhance HNP capacity to perform internal police investigations, exercise effective command and control over the police force, and ensure adherence to policies and procedures.
Crime Prevention/Forensics - Support upgrades to police infrastructure and equipment combined with targeted training and vetting. Help establish a capacity within the HNP to maintain equipment, conduct crime analysis, and respond to civil disturbances in a manner that takes advantage of non-lethal police tactics.
Criminal Justice Development/Corrections - Renovate deteriorating structures that present security and disease threats to detainees and alleviate the serious human rights violations currently presented by jail conditions; equip and train Haitian prison personnel to operate a pre-trial diversion program and educate and rehabilitate some of the criminal population.
Counternarcotics Support - Support the restoration of port security and maritime interdiction operations by the Haitian Coast Guard (HCG); further the anti-money laundering and anti-corruption efforts of the Haitian Financial Intelligence Unit and Financial Crimes Unit; support deployment of BLTS officers to strategic choke points throughout the country, and establish an intelligence collection and analysis center within the HNP.
- Merida Initiative Counternarcotics Programs - Support the HNP by providing a communication network which will interconnect rule of law activities, including law enforcement operations, investigations, case management, and information sharing. Provide training to Criminal Justice System Actors (police, prosecutors, and Judges) on proper investigative techniques, reporting, case preparation and evidence collection.

Marlins Stadium Update No. 411
With no real news on the state of ballpark negotiations, the Marlins announced today they have launched a new Web site dedicated to news of the ballpark.
In all seriousness, they did launch marlinsnewballpark.com, "the official site of the Marlins ballpark," complete with details about the planned $515 million stadium, how it will be financed, the history of the Orange Bowl, economic details, and background about the venue's architect, HOK. There's a news section, commentary, even a section where fans can print their own signs of support for the ballpark.
And there's a section for photos… Alas, under the section titled "renderings," the site says "Coming Soon" in English and "Under Construction" in Spanish. There's also a Spanish version of the ballpark Web site here.
The team said the idea for the site came from fan research. In a statement, Marlins President David Samson called it a "one-stop shop for ballpark information."
It's still possible the agreements spelling out the details of the ballpark's financing, construction management, non-relocation and other items could be presented to Miami-Dade County and Miami city commissioners in December, but it's more likely they'll be made available in January with a vote scheduled sometime that month.

MADISON, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) -- A 700-foot section of the Old Milton-Madison Bridge was sent to the Ohio River below Tuesday.
Workers rigged the structure with controlled explosives and took it down shortly after 9:15 a.m. Onlookers gathered nearby to watch the impressive one-shot fireworks show.
The bridges demolition has come in phases with some beams and ramps being removed at various times since last year.
The new $103-million Milton-Madison Bridge will be completed later this summer.

Adding Live Rock or Sand to existing setup
Can you add additional live rock / or live sand from an aquarium store directly to an established tank that has live rock?
Just trying to understand if I can add more live rock later or do I need to make the final choice of how much at the initial tank settup time. My tank is not currently setup yet. Trying to look at my choices up front.
you can add rock later but make sure it is cured.
best way would be to add the lr rite away. if u add it later on while there are fish in the tank make sure u leave it in another tank or barrel with little to no light for 1-3 weeks until its fully cured
I've made several trips to my LFS and purchased live rock. I continue to add it to my established 55gallon with no problem.
I usually mix up a salt bucket with a power head and let it circulate for a few hours to a few days just to get some of the die off away from the surface and keep it out of your tank.
OK, it is best to get as close to your desired state up front but you can add rock later as long as it is cured.

Why does it surprise me – photography is now everywhere.
The power in everyone's hands is now immense. I carry Leica's and love every pixel of them – but hardly use them other than for work and I use the iPhone 5 almost exclusively – every day to create 'moments' that I want to keep or share.
This infographic only captures Chapter One. Read on below it
What really interests me though is that the technology used to drive things – you would need to know so much about the aperture, speed, the type of film or pixel size – lighting would be the beginning and end. Now it's possible to change everything after the fact.
The Lytro is a camera that allows you to focus after you take the picture. The Lytro Light Field Camera doesn't capture 'pictures' in the way the current camera does – it's capturing information about where the light is traveling. This 'information' can then be turned into a picture – a series of pictures with different focus points. OMG – now what! Can't Wait!

Myrna Loy in Suit & Tie
See more » Imagery
Were you to ask me who my favorite actress is and if I were foolish enough to answer I might say Myrna Loy.
When I watch her movies I feel that she'd - I know these are roles, that she is acting - be swell to hang out with. Even to marry. But I know I'm not in that class.
I don't know who my favorite actress is. Jamie Murray? Diana Rigg?
It depends on the context of the question, what the actress is doing in her perfomance, the aberrations of my memory and vissitudes of my taste.
Given my love for androgyny I was delighted to discover these to photographs of Myra Loy in suit and tie.
For contrast a photograph of Myrna Loy in a different mode.
Who's your favorite film star?

You can specify a topocentric observer location
by choosing from a list of major world cities,
by choosing from a list of world-wide observatories, or
by giving the latitude, longitude, and altitude.
You can also specify non-topocentric Horizons-specific
location codes such as the sun or another planet.
Please select from from the following list:
Use observatory code numbers (if you know them) or names.
For example, enter "675" to select the Palomar Mountain main site.
Or, enter "palomar" for a list of matching sites.
Use "Geocentric or code "500" for geocentric.
You can also enter Horizons-specific non-topocentric location codes.
For example, use "@sun" to place the observer at the center of the sun,
"@0" to select the solar-system barycenter,
or "Viking 1@499" to select the Viking 1 landing site on Mars
To see all sites available for a specific body, use "*@body"
where body is body ID. For example, "*@499" will show all sites on Mars.
See the Horizons documentation for more details on
center/observer location codes.
Longitude and Latitude can be entered as either
"degrees minutes seconds" or decimal degrees.
In either case, they should always be positive and use the appropriate
East/West and North/South selections.
If entering "degrees minutes seconds" use spaces or commas between elements.
If Altitude is unknown, zero can be used for optical sites without much loss of accuracy.

Sisters: Role of 'Consecrated Women Religious' changing
But core mission of nuns stays the same
Monday, September 3, 2012
Serving the needs of the poor and less fortunate always has been at the core of a consecrated religious life.
Where nuns may be and what their venture looks like has changed. The heart of service has remained constant.
"The hallmark of a good religious life is you work yourself out of a job," said Sister Kathleen Wegman, chancellor of the Diocese of Jefferson City.
For sisters serving in the field of education, no longer do they work primarily with immigrants looking to build a new life in a new culture. Many have, in fact, turned over the role to lay teachers and administrators.
But as historical avenues of service take on a new chapter, so the sisters prayerfully have sought out the new needs of a 21st century America.

SPECIAL NOTE: Students in the School of Art and Design will be required to submit a resume and online portfolio for evaluation by the School of Art and Design International Studies committee as a part of their study abroad application.
The UW-Stout School of Art and Design and Fachhochschule Hildesheim/Holzminden (HAWK) have established a student exchange, which swaps UW-Stout students with German HAWK students. The focus of the HAWK program is on art and design studio classes. This academic year program offers Stout students an opportunity for language development, cultural exchange and learning experiences in the art and design field. Explore details specific to HAWK here- HAWK Information Guide for International Students.pdf
Students are accepted to study on the exchange program a year in advance and are encouraged to take German language classes to prepare. Accepted students will have various scheduled meetings with the Art and Design International Studies Committee, present German students and past Stout students that were at HAWK. These orientation sessions are important meetings that help prepare our students for their year in Hildesheim. Students will be advised to correspond with their German exchange partner one semester prior to their study at HAWK. Students arrive in Germany in September, one month early, and usually travel on their own for 1-2 months after classes finish.
The curriculum at HAWK is focused solely on art and design. German students must go through a rigorous process to attend this program. Stout students have an opportunity to work with high caliber, advanced students in the field of art and design.
Location: Hildesheim, Germany
Hildesheim is a city in Northern Germany with a population of approximately 150,000. The campus is not far from Hamburg and Hannover and provides easy access to other parts of Europe.
The courses at HAWK have an art and design studio focus and are offered in the following concentrations: graphic and product design, interior architecture and art metals. The language of instruction is German, but no prior knowledge of German is needed. Student go through a introductory language training, and professors work closely with English speaking students to guide you through course content. Students work at their own pace to complete a project by the assigned deadline. This type of teaching style lends itself to a self-directed learning style. Former students have commented on what a challenging and excellent experience this was for them. Classes are taught in a different fashion at HAWK than they are here at Stout. There are fewer daily class meetings. Projects are assigned and deadlines arranged. A short list of some courses offered can be found here - Course overview Design.xls Many more courses are available upon request.
Art & Design Students
To enhance awareness and promote study abroad experiences, Art and Design students who studied abroad for one semester or more will be required to exhibit their work at the International Expo in February, as organized by the Art & Design Department's International Studies Committee. Students in short-term programs are not required but encouraged to participate. While the work is on exhibit, students will be expected to organize the appropriate faculty and the program director to assess their work for related study abroad credits, as needed. Students will also be responsible for submitting a complete electronic portfolio (CD, DVD) of their work to the Program Office by the end of their exhibition week. Students will not receive equivalent Stout credits until the exhibition and electronic portfolio requirements are satisfied.
Accommodations: German students who will be attending UW-Stout arrange and pay for housing for UW-Stout exchange students who attend HAWK. Likewise, UW-Stout students must arrange and pay for off-campus housing for the exchange students coming from Germany. Students will purchase and prepare their own meals while in Germany.
Passport: Students will need to have a passport to study in Germany. The current passport fee is $135. If you already have a valid U.S. passport, be sure to check the dates of validity – your passport must be valid six months beyond your return date.
Visa: Students will need to have a visa to study in Germany. The current visa fee is $92. The Office of International Education can assist you with this process.
Travel: Students are responsible for making their own travel arrangements to and from Germany. Depending on the starting and ending date of the term, students may have the option of traveling in Europe before or after the program.
Art & Design Application Procedures: Art and Design students must submit a portfolio/application to the Art & Design faculty to be evaluated and selected for the four or five open positions. To understand this procedure, please attend the informational talk in the School of Art & Design each fall, given by the past Stout students that have recently returned from HAWK. You may also contact the Art & Design International Studies Committee or Nancy Blum-Cumming for more information. The application portfolio is due around mid to late November.

Students who are eligible for financial aid may use applicable grants, scholarships and loans to pay for study abroad programs at UW-Stout. Participants should apply for aid in the same manner as a typical semester on campus then provide your financial aid counselor with the estimated costs from the link above. Every student's financial situation is different, meet with your financial aid counselor to discuss your options today!

Review: 'Men in Black 3'
Article By: Candace WhiteheadFri, 25 May 2012 11:23 AM
Starring Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones • Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld• Age restriction: 10MLV • Releases 25 May
It's been ten years since the release of the relatively abysmal Men in Black 2 – and with the spate of remakes, re-imaginings and reboots, the head honchos a Sony seem to have decided that the time was ripe to have another crack at the alien franchise.
In Men in Black 3, the dangerous super-villain Boris the Animal (Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement) escapes from his lunar prison, intent on having his revenge on the agent that shot off his arm and put him away – Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones).
When his partner, Agent J (Will Smith), wakes up one morning in a world that Agent K has been dead for over forty years, he must travel back in time to set things right and save the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) before Boris the Animal can kill him and kick off events that would lead to an alien invasion of earth.
Easily the best thing about Men In Black 3 is Josh Brolin. As the 29-year-old version of Agent K, Brolin does almost a good a Tommy Lee Jones as Tommy Lee Jones himself. He is wryly funny, charming and nails his older counterpart's gruff Texan drawl, minute mannerisms and intense glare. He's charming and flirtatious – which makes the hard, older Agent K all the more tragic. "What happened to you?" J asks, more than once. It's an answer we get only much later – and the payoff is surprisingly emotional.
Smith and Jones have, by now, got their characters down to a pat – but the years have taken their toll on the pair. While Jones barely earns any screen time, he seems exhausted while he is on camera – and it feels as though he'd rather be anywhere than in a black suit. Smith – who has earned praise as one of the most exuberant actors of the current generation – is as energetic as ever in his turn as J and the glue that holds the film together, pretty much bouncing across the screen as he jumps back to 1969. But he also seems slightly complacent — and doesn't push the boundaries as much as he has in the past.
A supporting turn from Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement as the villainous boglodite Boris brings Tim Curry to mind, while Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man) as the alien that can see all the possibilities of the future was emotionally delicate and beautifully innocent – and put a smile on my face each time he was on screen.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld – who has headed up the franchise since its first instalment in 1997 – Men In Black 3 casts off the bad shadow of the critically-panned second film and manages to bring back much of the jazz and randomness from the first. It's scripted well – although don't pick at the whole time travel conundrum too closely and rather just go with the flow – and is at once funny, silly, action-packed and quite poignant.
The move back to 1969 allows the audience to be wowed all over again – with the old-school MIB offices, the gigantic version of the memory-erasing device that has become a symbol of the franchise and – of course – it being 1969 – a heap of hippies, a visit to Andy Warhol's famous factory and some uncomfortable race-related jokes add to the fish-out-of-water feel for both J and the audience.
Men in Black 3 also jumps in the 3D bandwagon – and for the most part, it is expertly used. Scenes of J jumping off the Chrysler Building and another immensely cool scene of laser beams in an audiovisual store stand out as highlights. There is some dodgy CGI employed during some of the more intense special effects scenes, but for the most part, the creature effects are as good as ever.
But as a whole, Men in Black feels slightly restrained — as if there's some ingredient that was needed to positively wow the crowds. As fun as it was for an hour and forty-five minutes, I left the cinema feeling more "eh" than enthused.
If you're looking for a silly, mindless summer blockbuster packed with laughs – Men In Black 3 is your ticket to pass the time. This third film may not have been a necessary addition to the franchise and is nowhere near the original charms of the first film, but it's a good recovery from the second film and – most importantly for studio bosses – packed with teasers to continue the franchise into a fourth film.

editor's perspective
Support From Industry
Many eyecare and contact lens practitioners tend to take the vast amount of industry support they receive directly or indirectly with little notice. Ironically, many of them expect it and have adapted to it, or they may even expect more of it while at the same time avoiding it like the plague. An example of this would be a practitioner expecting a company to support a local society meeting, while at the next big meeting avoiding the company booth to avoid the "sales pitch."
Just a few examples of the support from industry are
Some of you may read this list and say you truly appreciate these efforts and can think of many more. Some of you may read this list and think that some of this sounds like a bribe as the lay press is often tempted to "expose."
Do manufacturers try to wine and dine influential people in the field and high volume practices? You bet they do. Do these manufacturers try to influence what lecturers say from the podium in continuing education programs? Take it to the bank. Do those in the audience of these programs have sensitive enough noise detectors to filter out the promotional from the factual? Do readers of articles sponsored by a company with an inevitable outcome have the ability to find the valuable message? I believe they usually do.
I certainly defend the manufacturers' First Amendment rights to try to get their message out without bribing the practitioner and within FDA guidelines. In the end, it's the practitioners' responsibility to act ethically. How is this ethical behavior determined? By deciding if their actions are in the patients' best interests or their own.

New York City's First Bike-Powered Music Festival Coming to Union Square!
Posted By Krista Leahy On June 1, 2011 @ 4:50 pm In Brooklyn,Energy,Manhattan,News | No Comments
You know all that energy you use while dancing up a storm at a concert? What if you could take that energy and help power the show? Pedal Power NYC [1] has decided that there's no need to wonder what if any longer. Using stationary bicycles and volunteers looking to put their legs to some use, Pedal Power NYC [1] is able to power up some awesome concerts that are completely off the grid with The Natural Ass Session, a fantastic idea that merges natural, renewable energy (just add some food and water) with awesome music. They are currently seeking volunteers to help power the city's first bike-powered concert series happening on June 26.
The organization, like many others out there, noticed that humans are kind of awesome and wanted to make the most of all that energy we've got running through our systems. Newly fabricated bike generators have made it possible for The Natural Ass Sessions to be the first sound pedal-powered musical rehearsals in New York City and the organization is offering up some backstage passes to the five most active pedalers during the upcoming rehearsals and Bushwick Open Studios session [2] this week and weekend. The passes would be for the first totally pedal-powered music stage at NYC Celebrates Water Festival in Union Square on June 26th featuring local musicians to help set the mood.
Pedal Power NYC [1]'s first rehearsal session [3] is this afternoon at 4:30, plus Thursday and Friday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by the Bushwick Open Studios Sessions [3] this weekend at 428 Troutman Street in Brooklyn, right off the L-Train. All volunteer pedalers will be provided nourishment and plenty of love from the bands and concert goers.

Liquor Board inspector accused of consulting for Damian Bohager's newest club
So late last week a small brouhaha rightfully erupted at the liquor board meeting.
Pigtown residents brought to the board's attention that one of the agency's inspectors was consulting for a proposed bar, a no-no according to the city charter. The agency immediately began an investigation into the matter.
So far, as Investigative Voice has reported, the inspector, Don Fitzgerald, has been assigned to desk duty.
But speaking to chairman Stephan Fogleman recently, there's this update: Fitzgerald has decided to take a personal, unpaid leave for a week or two.
And Fogleman said the investigation should be wrapped up by the end of next week.
The problem started at a Pigtown community hearing for a proposed 5,000-square-foot club called Ambrosia that's partially owned by the controversial Damian Bohager, formerly of Fells Point's defunct Bohager's, and one of Maryland's top 50 tax scofflaws last year.
Bohager owed the state nearly $600,000 in unpaid taxes.
At that meeting, veteran inspector Fitzgerald said he was consulting for Ambrosia to help them navigate the tricky process of opening a new club, the residents said.
Residents then presented video of the meeting to the liquor board last Thursday, which began an internal investigation that resulted in Fitzgerald's assignment to desk duty the following day.
By Tuesday morning, Fogleman said, the inspector had decided to take time off on his own dime until the investigation was completed. Executive Secretary Samuel T. Daniels Jr. and chief inspector Ralph Gilliam are conducting the probe.
The board will have to wait on the conclusion of the investigation to vote on Fitzgerald's future, which could include dismissal or a suspension, or, as likely, a slap on the wrist.
Though the city charter forbids inspectors from working with bars that hold licenses, it's not legally clear if it applies to bars that haven't yet received them, like Ambrosia.
In any case, Fitzgerald has retained an attorney to represent him during the investigation, Fogleman said. Fitzgerald couldn't be reached for comment.
While the chairman declined to comment on the specifics on the case, or the discussions that have already taken place, he was equally vague about the investigation's possible outcome, just saying, "It's always disappointing when an accusation of impropriety happens."
The return of Bohager's?
Of course, the other interesting aspect of this story is the return of Bohager, who has been without a megabar of his own since his namesake bar, famous for its college nights and foam parties, closed in 2004.
Back when he quit, to make way for a pricey apartment complex, he told the Sun a megabar - Bohager's held about 1,250 people - wasn't in his future.
But Ambrosia - where he is one of three prospective owners - would occupy a massive chunk of real estate on the 700 block of Washington Boulevard in Pigtown. And its description sounds like vintage Bohager's: it would have a staff of 15, a full menu, live entertainment, and off-duty police for security.
Residents are concerned the neighborhood will be overwhelmed by its patrons and have been circulating e-mails protesting the club.
The latest came on Wednesday, when the Washington Village Development Association, in an e-mail forwarded by the neighbors' group Pigtown Public Safety, asked residents to write letters of opposition against an Ambrosia.
Sounds like Bohager hasn't lost the touch for controversy.

That's it, I'm doing requests. I'm running out of my own ideas (or am just too lazy to complete them) so I would love to hear from you in case you want your OC, yourself or anything in between done by me!
Keep in mind that I'm still a beginning artist, but can take on a challenge nevertheless. I prefer to draw males (!!) but if you can handle your lovely female character being completely ruined by me, I don't mind!
Don't hesitate. Try me!
