Great Route, nice find guys and huge thanks for putting it up!
Did it yesterday with my friend Rob, and we found the first two pitches (shared with D1) to be wet, but still easy. The whole middle portion of the route, and all the crux climbing, was in great shape. There were tickmarks everywhere, though, even on 5.10 terrain.
12b seemed right on for the crux pitch. Not sure if there were any moves as hard as 12a, but the whole package (p7 of sustained climbing at nearly 14k) adds up to a burly lead.
The final, OW pitch was seeping wet and slimy, and it didn't help that we led it during a hailstorm. It felt like the crux of the route!
Thanks again, and congrats on finding this gem right up the center of the big D!

|WOW! I had the pleasure of repeating this with Joe Mills this week. What an awesome line! Props to Chris and Bruce for ferreting out a modern day free climbing classic. This is the best out of the five routes I have done on the Diamond so far. My thoughts.... The 10b "rotten" pitch is actually pretty cool and fun as you stem and jam through a wild crystal matrix. The 11c face traverse is incredibly classic, airy, exposed and I thought just as hard as the crux 12b pitch. It also feels like the point of no return, where the best way off is now up and over. You definitely need to be on your A-game for the 5.10R start to the 12b pitch! The last 11b pitch is INCREDIBLE, a burly splitter leads to a roof which looks to be 5.13 from below but succumbs at 5.10d! You belay for the final 5.9 offwidth at the lip of the roof in one of the most spectacular and exposed positions on the Diamond! Sustained, burly, and classic!!!

The Knicks (3-8) loss to the Pacers was very promising. It was the best defensive basketball they've played for four consecutive quarters in the same game this season. Please note that Beno Udrih started at point guard and Raymond Felton was on the bench. Hurray.

The NBA season is young. Teams need time to find their stride. Whatever it may be the Eastern Conference in the NBA (outside of Miami) is looking slow and old. The Western Conference however is thriving. It feels like a turkey overstuffed. Not with stuffing but with talent. Like that the Portland Trail Blazers can […]

Chris Smith is gone to the D-League, but J.R. Smith may still want to defend his brother's honor against Pistons' point guard Brandon Jennings. It is unlikely that the mercurial, and often immature J.R. Smith will say anything beyond a tweet or a twerp to Jennings, after he was hit with a $25,000 fine […]

Let's Do This. By this I mean get a win. By the way, an ESPN commentator say Knicks were foolish to let Lin walk for nothing. Do you agree? Last night he had 34 points and 12 assists. He should be too tired to give our guy Felton much trouble. Don't you think?

James Dolan issued a guarantee. Sounds like a must win to me.

Swimming And Diving Splits Two On Saturday
Feb. 7, 2004
Chicago, Ill. The University of Illinois at Chicago men's and women's swimming and diving teams closed out the regular season on Saturday, picking up victories over Valparaiso in a double-dual meet against the Crusaders and Horizon League rival Cleveland State on Saturday afternoon at the UIC Natatorium.
The men's team scorched the Crusaders 179-51, while the women vanquished Valpo 162-66. Against the Vikings, the women fell just short, 119-115, while the men dropped a 156-87 decision.
Leading the way for the Flames was LeRoy Stevens and Aisha Williams, who eached picked up an individual victory and a relay win on Saturday.
Stevens posted a season-high in the 50-yard freestyle, racing to first place in the event with a time of 21.21. The super sophomore also teamed with Ari Bernstein, Blake Booher, and Adan Jimenez to close out the meet with a 400-yard freestyle relay win in 3:07.07.
Williams was equally strong, taking the 100-yard freestyle in 54.35 while posting a 400-yard relay win with Kelly Hyatt, Vanessa Segovia, and Emily Biancalana in 3:43.35 to give the Flames a sweep of the event.
Caitlin Carey was her usual self on Saturday, quietly taking both the one-meter and three-meter diving events.
Cleveland State was undefeated on the day, beating Valpo on both sides with a 126-81 women's win and a 195-39 men's victory.
Saturday was also Senior Day for the five graduating members of the swimming and diving teams. Enric Claret, Stephanie Donovan, Alexander Marinof, Joe Scharnak, and Doug Zimmer were saluted for the tireless efforts as leaders and competitors both in and out of the pool.
UIC will return to action on Wednesday, February 25th when the Flames play host to the 2004 Horizon League Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving Championships. The event runs from February 25-28 at the UIC Natatorium.

So I just wrote this up and sent it to my congrassman and senators. I went directly to their pages becasue I felt it would be better to write a more personal letter than a generic one although I have sent those too. Let me know what you think.
I am a concerned citizen. Recent events have led to the issue of gun control on the national level.
I have served this nation in both Iraq and Afghanistan and fought for my country's liberties in an attempt to impart said liberties on people who have spent the majority of their lives under tyranny. I am proud to call myself an American and believe the Constitution I swore allegiance to was established to guarantee our liberties and basic inalienable human rights.
I was very saddened to hear about the tragic events which transpired December 14th, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. I was also saddened to hear several of our countrys representatives used this tragedy to begin a campaign to rob law abiding citizens of their rights.
As you know, living in a free country comes with inherent risks. With freedom comes responsibility. The immoral acts of a very small minority of Americans should not have an effect on the freedoms of the vast majority of Americans. Using this tragedy as grounds to strip law-abiding Americans of their human rights is sickening and shows lack of character and leadership. The display of insensitivity by those who would use such a tragedy to advance an agenda leaves Americans wondering how our rights, given to us by a higher authority and put in writing by the framers of this nation, play a role the moral decision making we entrust our elected representatives to carry out.
Stripping the human right to self defense is counter to what this nation was established to be and counter to what me and my brothers and sisters-in-arms strived to promote abroad.
As a law-abiding American I see this as a shameful response to the tragic loss of life not only in Sandy Hook Elementary School, but the tragic loss of life of anybody at the hands of truly evil men.
Our 2nd Amendment was established to keep tyranny in our own borders at bay. The common misconception of our right to bear arms as only existing to protect hunters shows a complete lack of understanding by fellow Americans whos oath of office was not much different than my own.
Please do not support those who have forgotten the oath they took to defend and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Please represent me in the face of your colleagues who do not feel bound by the limitations set forth by the Bill of Rights and would strip my rights and the rights of my fellow Americans by the implementation of any Assault Weapon Ban or ban on standard capacity magazines.

Overall Experience
Highly Recommend!!!
April 11, 2016
I highly recommend Staybridge in Marlton, N.J.! The staff was extremely friendly. My room included a DVD player but the input video cord was missing. As soon as I mentioned it to the front desk, the issue was resolved immediately. My room was very clean and the cleaning person actually cleaned my dishes I left in the sink. Dinner socials Monday thru Wednesday was a very nice treat (not wanting to go back out after a long day). Breakfast is more than just continental! You even get access to an offsite workout gym if the exercise room at the hotel is not suitable enough for you. The room rates are very reasonable as well. I would not hesitate to return to Staybridge Suites!

Perfect. Couldn't have asked for more. Staff was very nice.
Family loved there stay
April 09, 2016
Family of 5 getting a suite was the best thing there was room for everyone to relax and enjoy there stay. Also the free breakfast and social dinner was great. Staff very on top of things.
Nice hotel
April 04, 2016
Improve customer service and interaction w/clients. Upon check-in, as an Elite Spire Member, I requested a room upgrade that showed to be available online, but the hotel employee denied the request, besides making us wait almost 10 minutes since the front desk was left alone by the hotel employee due to running another errand in the establishment; there definitely needs to be more than 1 employee available on weekend nights. Besides that, the hotel was nicely located

I just like pointing at the screen every five minutes, saying "Yeah, I've been there."
The DVD of My Girlfriend's Boyfriend just happens to be one of our Best of the Beehive picks coming out in our July issue. Yes, it's required of us to live three months ahead of ourselves.
We recently had director Daryn Tufts answer some of our questions about the film. Hint: He also played Eldon in The Singles Ward and The Singles 2nd Ward.
What was the reaction to the film at this year's LDS Film Festival?
Amazing. It would be hard to imagine a more positive response. I'm proud to have shot the entire film locally and our goal was always to represent Salt Lake City as a beautiful, unique, and vibrant city. For me, that made watching the movie with local audiences even more rewarding. The audience at the LDS Film Festival was one of the absolute best. That's an audience that really values and supports local film, and that night I felt really valued and supported.
Overall, what do you hope people took away from this film?
I hope this movie surprises people, in the best possible way. I wanted to present a film that began as a typical romantic comedy, but then did something different with the genre – something new and unexpected. The idea was to do something I'd never seen done in a love story – and I didn't want the audience to see it coming.
How did Alyssa end up in the film and what was your response to her being cast?
Before the film, we didn't have any connection to Alyssa. We just knew she would be amazing in this role so we went out on a limb and approached her agent with the script. It wasn't much more than a cold call. Fortunately, she really responded to the screenplay and before I knew it, my producer and I went to LA to meet with her. Her relationship with the movie was great from the beginning. She really "got†the screenplay and was tremendously supportive—really wanted to help make it into the best movie it could be. I couldn't have been more excited to have her on board. From there, we all dug in and got to work.
Anything in the film you'd change in hindsight?
Nothing major. Overall, I'm really happy with how the movie came together and I couldn't have hoped for a better cast. There are always small things you want to tinker with. But then there are also so many things about the finished movie I would never change—even a couple of moments that give me chills every single time I watch it.
This is the first feature film you directed, right? What's it like for you to go from in front of the camera to behind the scenes?
Being in front of the camera definitely helped me learn from other directors. I tried to identify the techniques in other directors I thought produced the best results and build upon that. I've also been fortunate enough to have been on many sets for projects I've written, and that gave me a lot of practical experience. And before the movie, I directed commercials. Obviously, a big part of directing is having a strong vision and trusting that, following your instincts. But it's critical to have the best people involved with you, and to listen to them, know how to effectively collaborate. If you're fortunate enough to have great actors and production people, you'll quickly learn they can add to the movie in ways you never would have without them.
What projects are you working on now or have on the back burner?
I'm about to go into production on a horror movie. As with "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend,†I wrote the script, I'll direct, and the entire movie will be shot locally. Other than that, the movie bears no resemblance to "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend.†I hope it'll be original, scary, fun and as well received as our little love story.
My Girlfriend's Boyfriend was filmed back in July, 2009, had a brief stint in the theaters and became available on NetFlix and Amazon on March 1, 2011. Wal-Mart will have the DVD available for purchase at in June, pre-order right now. Click here for more info.

Tuition Supplement
Students who have been admitted to the Tippie College of Business (TCOB) pay a different tuition rate, which includes a tuition supplement. The Board of Regents for the State of Iowa first approved the TCOB tuition supplement in 2008. The initial tuition supplement went to hire faculty in high-demand areas like finance and accounting, support the start-up of the Marketing Institute, hire additional academic advisors in the Undergraduate Program Office, support the TCOB Honors Program, and expand study abroad options for TCOB students.
Like an effective business, the TCOB must continually evaluate the education and services it provides to TCOB undergraduates. There is an increased demand by students for the BBA degree. Companies that hire TCOB graduates emphasize the importance of presentation skills in business. The increasingly global nature of today's workplace requires that TCOB students understand how to operate in a cross-cultural workplace.
An expanded tuition supplement proposal was approved by the Board of Regents in December 2011. Starting with the fall 2012 semester, TCOB students who have 0 to 59 total hours of credit pay a $1,000 tuition supplement for the academic year—$500 for the fall semester and $500 for the spring semester. The tuition supplement for TCOB students who have 60 or more total hours of credit increased as of the fall 2012 semester by an additional $500 ($250 for the fall semester and $250 for the spring semester), going from $1,500 to $2,000 for the academic year.
The amount of the tuition supplement is adjusted by the same annual percentage increase as the University's base tuition.
The additional resources generated by the expanded tuition supplement are used to (1) hire tenure-track faculty to teach undergraduate students; (2) provide new programming and academic advising support for TCOB undergraduate students, including our direct admit students and our international students; (3) support globally focused programs to improve the cultural competency of TCOB students and raise awareness of international business career opportunities; and (4) provide the resources to improve the presentation skills of TCOB undergraduates through increased programming, workshops, and staff support in the Judith R. Frank Business Communication Center.
The revised tuition supplement helps to maintain and improve the overall quality and reputation of the TCOB Undergraduate Program.
Please consult our tuition supplement FAQ for answers to some common questions.

Can you remember life before body shapers? Panty lines, back bulges and muffin tops—ring a bell? Now that the market is awash in "miracle" undergarments that suck in and shape, it's hard to decide which pieces are worth the investment. Recently I came across something called the OverBra, from BiFlex Intimates Group, and had to give this shapewear-bustwear-in-one a test-drive. What makes it different? The Overbra is meant to be worn OVER any regular bra (so no more uni-boob).
With four styles to choose from, I tried the Longline OverBra (available in black and nude for $45). It has a longer bodice to the hip, front closure hooks and a racerback. While it looks like a complicated contraption at first, it's really just a more technical bustier with lots of control. Right away, I noticed the smoothing effect without feeling constricted. It looked natural under my clothes, allowed me to consume food (typically in shapers, one bite makes me feel like I'm going to bust) and made the most of my curves. Works for me.
But don't just take my word for it. Slip into it yourself and let us know what you think.

Executives Jam to Be Crowned Best Corporate Band at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before Celebrity Judges Tommy Lee of Motley Crüe, Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special, and Antoinette Follett of Making Music Magazine
Year after year, the FORTUNE Battle event is indicative of how passionate people are about music. A lot of talent exists in the world. Not all of it makes it to a record label or an internet site. These people have chosen some path other than rock and roll, but still have talent and passion for the music.
On Friday and Saturday, October 2nd and 3rd, 8 qualifying bands and their fans from the two regional competitions in Los Angeles and Nashville converged on Cleveland to participate in the 9th annual Fortune Corporate Battle of the Bands event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Naya Rivera downgraded to guest star role on Glee - report
Actress/singer NAYA RIVERA has reportedly been downgraded to a guest role on GLEE for its upcoming sixth and final season.
According to entertainment news site TVLine.com, Rivera will be billed as a recurring guest star and not a series regular - a title she reportedly requested and producers ultimately honored.
Representatives for both Glee and Rivera have yet to comment on the matter.
The report comes months after rumors suggested the star, who plays Santana Lopez, was reportedly set to leave the hit show after she did not appear in the season five finale.

John Shuff (right) with his instructor Peter Badewitz at Park City Mountain Resort in 1989.
"When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude."—G.K. Chesterton
I was a moody kid, a contrarian, prone to venting my frustrations on my dad. He didn't let me get away with all that complaining, fixing his steely blue eyes on me and saying time and time again, "I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet."
It is a sentiment that has resonated with me for a lifetime, especially this time of year—16 words that always manage to remind me what I am grateful for. They put my life into perspective, and have helped define who I am.
In winter of 1988, I made up my mind to learn how to ski. Unable to walk, I joined a program at Park City Handicapped Sports (Known today as National Ability Center). My instructor was a Vietnam vet whose right leg had been blown off by a land mine.
After strapping me into my "sit ski," he tethered himself to the rear of it and off we went. The run down the mountain's trails was thrilling and exhilarating. At age 48, it was an experience that I would never trade for anything.
However, what defined this experience was not the run down the mountain; it's what happened in the locker room afterward. This crowded space was not filled with your typical après-ski crowd. There was a young woman with slurred speech and jerky movements, the result of a head injury, a youngster with cerebral palsy, a smiling, teenage blind girl who was being assisted by one of the volunteers.
I remember how my instructor exchanged his heavy ski prosthesis for his regular one. The stump left by the surgeons was red and irritated but he never complained about his discomfort as he methodically placed his swollen stump into his prosthesis, his lifeline to walking.
I'll never forget that day. Parents hugged their kids as they came into the room from the slopes. Everyone acted if they had just climbed Mt. Everest, their sense of accomplishment radiating from their wind-blown faces.
That day was my epiphany, when I really understood what my dad was telling me with his 16-word admonition. It was the day that I realized that I had made it down that mountain—made it down the slope of adversity—with children and young adults who would never enjoy the experiences I had before being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It was the day I saw how each of us coped with our handicaps, scuttling feelings of self-pity and concentrating on self-esteem.
This Thanksgiving and every day you live, thank God you can see the sunlight when you awake, as there are many who are blind. When you sit down to a meal give thanks, for there are many who are hungry. Give thanks for your family and your friends, for many are alone. Give thanks for your job and co-workers for there are many with no job.
Thank God for his most precious gift, your life. Treasure it each day, and take nothing for granted. Find your way down the mountain no matter how difficult.
And cherish the journey.

ZF-8029: Script injection using the 'default' route
When assembling URLs with $encode = true and using the default route, for instance a URL like controller/action/paramName/paramValue, the Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module class urlencode's 'controller', 'action' and 'paramValue', but not 'paramName'.
This allows for an attack vector where HTML is injected into the 'paramName' segment of the URL. For example, the default route will parse the following URL:
Into the following request:
'controller' => 'foo' 'action' => 'bar' '">
If you then use the default route to construct a URL in the foo/bar view (with $reset = false), it will display this way:
Looks like script injection to me. This particular instance doesn't do the alert because the closing script tag is malformed (properly encoded). The obvious workaround for this is to additionally escape the resulting URL with htmlspecialchars(), but that requirement didn't seem intuitive given that the URL was already supposed to be encoded.
So, is this a bug or expected behavior for some other reason?
Fixed in trunk and 1.9 release branch.

About six months after my mother's longtime partner died, my sister and I encouraged (read: forced) our mother to sign up for some internet dating sites. We helped to draft her profile, select photos, and walked her through the complex clicks to make her availability public.
Everyone knows someone who fell in love via the internet or who got frustrated and gave up. But how many of us are coaching our mothers through the trials and tribulations of dating at age 72?
According to Experian Hitwise, an internet tracking firm, the number of people over 55 who have visited internet dating sites increased by 39 percent between 2008 and 2011. While Match.com allows the user to limit a desired age range, other specialized sites cater to the "mature" set, including include Seniors.com and SeniorPeopleMeet.com, which is run by A.A.R.P. Noticing the market opportunity, there are now even websites dedicated to offering advice and tips for on-line dating for those over 65.
The search for love reveals so many things about who we are and what we care about. Watching my exceptionally hardy mother go through this online adventure has been instructive in ways I never could have imagined.
I see, for example, that an older woman can insist that a man fit into her life and not vice versa. My mother jogs or goes to the gym every day, works part-time at a community college, helps my siblings with their kids, participates in several book groups, and has a wonderful assortment of friends. Yes, she wants a boyfriend, but she is unlikely to compromise her commitments for a date.
She knows her process. Beautiful and articulate, she soon began getting "winks" and "nods" and corresponding with various men by email. Some made it to the next stage: talking on the phone. And a bunch have met the bar for a face-to-face meeting. She quickly figured out that coffee was an ideal meeting length, or lunch if they drove far to meet halfway. Dinner was out of the question, she realized, after several excruciating hours with a man whom she realized wasn't her type in 30 seconds.
After each of these dates, I text her, "Well?" and wait to hear the report:
"I paid and he didn't even offer to split."
"He was very nice . . . and boring."
"He doesn't read the newspaper."
"He talked about himself the whole time."
But the most typical return text: "He was too old."
Older women have to cope with age discrimination, fueled by the ridiculous assumption that a man should be with a younger woman. After meeting several men who could never keep up with her, she realized that she should have posted her age younger. But our culture's obsession with youth prevented her from lying about her age, so she has to confront the fact that a younger man would be more appropriate but less likely to see her as a viable mate.
Men have it easier. According to the U.S. Census, in 2010 there were almost one million more women than men between the ages of 70 and 74 living in the U.S. But in spite of unfavorable odds, older women cut to the chase because they simply don't have time to be coy. Date by date, my mother has gradually articulated her preferences. No men who "worked for the government for many years: they're too obedient." Good relationships with adult children: essential. Close connections with grandchildren: desirable. No "big dogs" or "multiple cats." All natural fabric clothing highly advantageous. Anyone who makes it past to a second date gets a name from my sister and me: "Doctor Steve"; "Quiet Sam"; "Funny Vince."
Older women have the wisdom to understand this exercise as a kind of performance, albeit an entirely sincere one. My mother's writing has improved, as she crafts each form: the initial flirtatious gambit; the extended e-conversation; the various exchanges of disclosures; the modulation of emotion if enthusiasm wanes; the kind rebuff. She has mastered conveying her warmth and curiosity over the phone.
The scenario isn't always neat. After her second date with "Nice Mike," which was dinner at a fairly fancy restaurant, I was nervous when she didn't text by 11 p.m. I called my sister. "Do you think Mom was kidnapped?" Suddenly we find ourselves worrying about men as she did for us as dating teens.
She hasn't found "the one" yet. But she is working through her grief and sees herself as someone with another romantic life still to come. Relative to the men she's met, she feels young and attractive.
She may not have found Mr. Right (yet!), but in the process she is finding herself.

Upheaval Dome, photo by Fang Guo
In summer, Southern Utah competes with Death Valley for "Worst Place to Run Out of Water." Visitors to Canyonlands and Arches find themselves on a death march through all-too-aptly named regions like Fiery Furnace and Devil's Garden, armed only with a couple bottles of precious water, a granola bar, a sombrero and the burning question, "What the hell was I thinking?"
Make no mistake: A poorly planned day hike can turn deadly.
But in March and April, when mushy snow has taken the joy out of Wasatch skiing, the wise head south. They know that on into June, the daytime temperature in Utah's breathtaking national-park zone bounces between a comfortable 65 and 82 degrees, and at night seldom drops below freezing, making spring the perfect red rock camping and trekking season.
So, now's the time to pack up shorts, a down vest, stout shoes and a good sleeping bag and head south. To guide your vernal exodus, here are some of the highlights in Utah's hot spots:
Upheaval Dome, by Fang Guo
(Beginner) Canyonlands
There are two main theories to explain why Upheaval Dome is so drastically different from all the other wild formations in Canyonlands. One proposes a giant salt bubble in the stone dissolved, leaving behind a three-mile-wide hole in the ground. The other blames a massive meteor strike for the enormous geological oddity. Whatever the cause, the end result is a formation that sticks out like thoughtful dialogue in a Michael Bay film.
You can reach the folded layers of the 170 million-year-old crater with a quick, two-mile (out and back) walk from the overlook trailhead, found in the Island in the Sky section of the park. With only 50 feet of elevation gain from the parking lot to Upheaval's warped walls, even those who prefer watching an episode of Planet Earth to the ardors of the outdoors will be impressed by the visuals and how easy it was to reach them. Those looking for the 360-degree experience can follow the Syncline Loop around the entire structure, though this eight-mile loop is considerably more strenuous, and boasts a 1,300-foot gain.
The Maze District, photo by Mike Renlund
(Expert) Canyonlands
Backpacker magazine rates The Maze as "the most dangerous hike in America," but despite this hyperbole the region has a near-perfect survival rate. Perhaps it's the intimidating reputation of this 300,000-acre labyrinth that accounts for its pristine safety record, as it frightens off all but the most hyperbolically experienced hikers to safer attractions.
Less than 3 percent of Canyonland's roughly 500,000 annual visitors ever make it deep enough into the park to gaze at the distinctive Chocolate Drops up close, or scramble into the disorienting warren of stone corridors. Exploring the The Maze can be done solely on foot, but four-wheel-drive vehicles are highly recommended due to the remote—it's a three- to six-hour off-road drive from Hans Flat Ranger Station (itself a lonely outpost)—nature of the canyons and the summer temperatures. Early spring is the perfect time to sidestep the heat, but nature has left behind plenty of other hurdles to protect this beauty from all but the dedicated elite.
Devil's Garden, photo by Ronnie Macdonald
(Intermediate) Arches
The longest maintained trail in Arches National Park is also its most spectacular. In roughly three to five hours, hikers can follow the moderate 7.2 mile loop to eight different arches, the recently collapsed Wall Arch, the Dark Angel monolith and Fin Canyon. In hiking economics, the sheer density of features here will give visitors the maximum return for a minimal physical investment.
This ratio can also makes Devil's Garden a crowded experience, since popular features like Landscape Arch, the longest natural arch in the world, can be found among the myriad of other wind-carved hoodoos. Hit the trailhead early to beat the masses and the heat, and don't forget the $10 entrance fee (per vehicle) to the park.

text: Apr 3, 2013 23:02 Greenstein resigns post Greenstein resigns post Advocate staff file photo by RICHARD ALAN HANNON -- Former Lousiana Department of Health and Hospitals Secretary Bruce Greenstein. MELINDA DESLATTE| Associated Press March 29, 2013; 4:35 p.m. Comments (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's health secretary and close ally, Bruce Greenstein, is resigning amid ongoing state and federal investigations into the awarding of a Medicaid contract to a company where Greenstein once worked, officials said Friday. The Jindal administration canceled the nearly $200 million contract with Maryland-based CNSI last week after details leaked of a federal grand jury subpoena involving the contract award. The governor's office announced Greenstein's decision, saying his resignation takes effect May 1. Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin said the governor didn't ask Greenstein to leave his position as secretary of the Department of Health and Hospitals. Jindal appointed current Deputy Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), Kathy Kliebert, to serve as Interim Secretary of the agency. Courtney Phillips, who currently serves as Chief of Staff at DHH, will replace Kathy Kliebert and serve as Interim Deputy Secretary, according to a news release on Friday from the governor's office. Greenstein offered no explanation in his two-page resignation letter, instead recounting his accomplishments and thanking the governor. "This state's gracious people and generous culture have left a permanent and meaningful impact on the lives of my family and me. I am grateful for our time here and I will forever remember this period of our lives with fondness and pride," he wrote. When the Medicaid contract was awarded two years ago, Greenstein denied any involvement in the selection. But he acknowledged under questioning from lawmakers in his 2011 confirmation hearing that a change he pushed in the bid solicitation made CNSI eligible for the Medicaid contract. He also met with a top CNSI official within days of taking the health secretary's job. Greenstein worked for CNSI from 2005 to 2006. The state attorney general's office has said the 10-year contract for Medicaid claims processing and bill payment was improperly handled, and it is conducting its own criminal investigation into the contract award. David Caldwell, head of the attorney general's public corruption unit, said there was inappropriate contact between CNSI and DHH employees, among other issues. In a statement, Jindal praised Greenstein's tenure at the health department, during which he oversaw the privatization of many state-run health facilities and shifted much of the Medicaid program to private managed care. Greenstein also has been the architect of Jindal's ongoing push to privatize the LSU-run public hospitals that care for the poor and uninsured and that train many of Louisiana's medical students, an effort that has been criticized as poorly handled. "Bruce has successfully led one of the largest transformations of our state's health care delivery system," Jindal said. When Greenstein leaves, his deputy secretary, Kathy Kliebert, will serve as interim secretary of the department. Greenstein hadn't been seen at public events since news of the Baton Rouge-based federal grand jury probe. Lawmakers were irritated that the health secretary skipped his agency's budget hearing earlier this week. On Friday, a DHH spokeswoman referred all questions about Greenstein's resignation to the governor's office. CNSI, which was supposed to take over the Medicaid work next year, is challenging the termination of its contract by the state. CNSI beat three other companies for the work, but critics said the company underestimated the true cost of the job and made incorrect assumptions to win the bid.

Hi all,
I'm starting a project that enables two NXT robots programmed using lejos to play soccer against each other. My idea is to capture the whole playing field with one camera and do the digital image processing on a central PC that sends information about the players' and the ball's coordinates to the robots via bluetooth.
While the image processing is pretty straight forward for me (see the excellent tool Impresario), I've never programmed a bluetooth device before. I've looked through the NXT communication protocol in the Lego Bluetooth Developer Kit and would appreciate some help with the following question:
What's the easiest way to get the coordinate information which could be encoded in 6 bytes from a PC (master) to two NXTs (slaves) via bluetooth?
Is the direct command "message write" the correct choice on the PC side? If so, would it look like this?:
Byte 0: 0x80 (I don't need a response)
Byte 1: 0x09 (message write)
Byte 2: 0x00 (Inbox number, which one should I choose?)
Byte 3: 0x07 (message size, including null termination?)
Byte 4-9: encoded coordinates
Byte 10: 0x00 (null termination)
How can I read this information on the NXTs? Could I use lejos.nxt.comm.Bluetooth.btReceive?
Thanks in advance,

My home is full of my wall art and sculptures and I was running out of room. So I decided to start turning my functional furniture into art too. When people see my Frida Kahlo Chair they are blown away! Everyone needs furniture, so why not buy furniture that's art? It nurtures our soul to have it in our homes.
After surviving two strokes and a brain tumor in 2001, I was forced give up my corporate marketing work and change priorities. In 2003, I moved to Palm Desert, CA and set up a small art studio in my garage to help with my recovery. My art is now my passion, and my business is called Whimsical Curiosities. I mix antique and vintage findings, producing assemblage sculptures, shrines, wall art, jewelry, mosaics and now furniture with the intention to capture your curiosity, make you smile and feel you are experiencing something you have never seen before. My creations are considered Eco Friendly Art, made with recycled items.
In the past seven years, I've curated art exhibits, managed galleries, and contributed my whimsical, thought provoking assemblage art to many Southern California venues including Fine Art Festivals in Santa Barbara, Brentwood, Calabasas, Malibu and Hermosa Beach where she has won several awards.

VOLOS, Greece -- The USA Women's Junior National Team will play for gold at the 2013 FINA Women's Junior World Championships following a 10-3 defeat of Greece. UCLA's Rachel Fattal scored four goals and Ashleigh Johnson added 10 saves in the cage for the win.
Team USA moves on to play Spain tomorrow in the final at 9:00 a.m. (PT) on Sunday. A live webcast of the match is available by clicking here. A full schedule of the tournament is available by clicking here. To watch the victory over Greece on-demand, click here.
Five Bruins are on the team including incoming freshman Mackenzie Barr, sophomores Fattal, Kodi Hill and Alys Williams and junior Emily Donohoe.
The Bruins scored seven of the USA's 10 goals in today's semifinal win over Greece. In yesterday's 12-10 quarterfinal win over Hungary, the Bruins scored 7-of-12 goals to make it 14-of-22 in the last two victories.
The first period against Greece got off to a slow start for both teams as the first goal wasn't scored until the 2:40 mark when Monica Vavic connected for a 1-0 lead. Kiley Neushul followed with a goal with :29 left in the period for a 2-0 lead. Greece added a late score with just 10 seconds to play to trail 2-1 at the end of the first period.
Less than a minute into the second period Greece found the net to the tie the game at 2-2. That would be as close as they would get in the match as the United States would score five unanswered goals. Donohoe and Fattal would score two goals along with one from Makenzie Fischer for a 7-2 halftime lead.
Team USA kept up the attack in the third quarter with a goal from Williams and another from Fattal to cap a seven-goal run, ahead 9-2 with 2:49 left. Greece stopped the run with a goal with 1:29 left in the period to trail 9-3 after three periods.
The United States scored the only goal of the fourth, a final tally from Fattal, to take a 10-3 lead with 6:51 remaining. The Team USA defense would do the job the rest of the way, securing the 10-3 victory.
The United States was 1-for-5 on power plays in the victory.
"We controlled the tempo of the game from the start," said USA Head Coach Dan Klatt. "We were extremely disciplined on defense and we are excited to start preparing for tomorrow."
Greece vs. USA
Greece Goals: Alkistis Christina Benekou, Vasiliki Diamandopoulou, Ioanna Chidirioti
USA Goals: Rachel Fattal 4, Emily Donohoe 2, Monica Vavic 1, Kiley Neushul 1, Makenzie Fischer 1, Alys Williams 1
USA Saves: Ashleigh Johnson 10

|Laura Usher,
NAMI Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Coordinator
A few of the provisions have gone into effect this fall, but the majority of reforms won't be implemented until 2014. Here at NAMI, we have been asking, will health care reform help some of our most vulnerable members—those who are at risk of involvement with the criminal justice system?
The reforms are not likely to have an effect on individuals currently in jail or prison; these individuals are considered exempt from the health care reform law. People who are incarcerated have a limited right to health and mental health care protected by the Constitution.
This is important to NAMI because more than 450,000 Americans with a recent history of mental illness are incarcerated in U.S. jails and prisons. In one study, 28 percent of people with serious mental illness were arrested at least one time in a 10-year period. The majority of these arrests were for non-violent crimes like crimes against the public order or a property offense.
Thus, even a minor offense can change the course of person's life: a criminal record means more trouble getting housing or services, more likelihood of experiencing violence or trauma as well as estrangement from family and community supports. For many, this tragic situation begins because they do not have access to quality treatment and services. Health care reform may improve access to care for people living with mental illness, breaking the cycle of incarceration for those re-entering society or preventing it from starting for those who are at risk of encountering the police. The new law will provide access to health care for many who desperately need it—by 2014, approximately 94 percent of Americans will have some kind of health insurance coverage. It is hoped that the improved access will translate into improved services for people living with mental illness, many of whom currently go without the treatment and services they need.
Coverage expansion comes in a variety of forms—increased funding for Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) programs; stricter rules for private insurance which will prevent them denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions or cancelling coverage due to illness as well as subsidies for low-income people to help them buy coverage in state-regulated exchanges.
We also know that there will be a required benefits package, which will include basic mental health and substance abuse treatment, for all Medicaid and private insurance plans.
In addition to increased access, the health reform law offers some opportunities for integration of primary care, mental health and substance abuse treatment— which we know is important, since most people living with mental illness in the criminal justice system also have co-occurring disorders. However, this push towards integration will not help everyone— states will have an option to include it in their Medicaid programs in addition to a new federal grant program to allow community mental health centers to locate primary and specialty care services in the same facility.
Are improved access to care and limited integration of care enough to help people with serious mental illness stay out of the criminal justice system? I am hopeful that, for many individuals, they will be. But we know that people living with mental illness who are involved with the justice system face a variety of challenges. For example, a high percentage lives with a co-occurring substance use disorder.
We know that involvement with the justice system often starts early in life, with more than two-thirds of children in the juvenile justice system having at least one diagnosable mental disorder. The intersection of mental illness and the justice system can exacerbate an individual's problems on many levels. People who are incarcerated and live with mental illness tend to experience higher rates of sexual and physical abuse and unemployment than other inmates.
We also know that people living with mental illness who are involved with the justice system often get trapped in cycles of crisis, alternating between jails, homelessness, shelters and emergency rooms. Once someone has been in jail, he or she often has trouble connecting or reconnecting with life-saving services like income supports, Medicaid and housing.
I think the health care reform law will be good for some people; for many people access to care will be life-changing. But we will need to continue to advocate for a variety of services and supports—such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), supportive housing, employment and education assistance—to help people achieve the recovery needed to stay out of the justice system. And since many people living with mental illness are already entangled with the justice system, we will need to continue to fight for cross-system collaborations like crisis intervention teams (CIT) that bring together mental health systems, criminal justice systems and advocates to find creative solutions.
Finally, NAMI State Organizations and NAMI Affiliates will need to stay engaged to shape how health care reform is implemented. Major decisions about the content of benefits packages and other important issues are still on the table, and our voices must be heard to ensure that people living with mental illness get the comprehensive services and supports they need.
What do you think? Will access to health care help you or your loved one who is at risk stay out of jail? Or do you think that the challenges facing people who at risk of involvement with the justice system are too great?
As NAMI develops more resources to assist advocates, you can find them on our website at: www.nami.org/healthcare.Fact sheets are also available and offer a general overview of the health care reform legislation.

The Match Point star tackles Aaron Sorkin's new HBO show, The Newsroom.
I play the executive producer of a nightly news show who has a complicated relationship with the anchor, Jeff Daniels.
She prefers British news.
TV news is disappointing here, but that is Sorkin's point. In England [where she was born], it's less sensational, and you get more international reporting.
Her surprising crush
I'm besotted with [MSNBC anchor] Chris Matthews. He manages to be passionate and to be himself, without that annoying arch tone anchors all seem to have. When I took this part, I thought, Maybe if I do this show, I might get to meet him!
Becoming American
I wept at my naturalization ceremony. The judge said, "America is a better place because you fine people have made the difficult journey to be here." Everybody was a different color. That's what's great about America: You value the people who come here.
Fallback career
I can link sausages. My maternal grand-father was a pig farmer from Kent. My grandmother used to make sausages, and I'd help. There's an art to linking them. If I was ever called on to do it in a film, I would be brilliant.
Honoring her father
My dad [barrister and author Sir John Mortimer] was a big proponent of penal reform. When he died, I started visiting a remand center in Brooklyn for women waiting for their trials. These women aren't monsters but people just like you and me whose lives very often have taken terrible turns.

Texas Residency
Residency Information
The determination of residency classification for tuition purposes is governed by statues enacted by the Texas Legislature and rules and regulations promulgated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THEB). Texas law classifies each person who applies for admission to a Texas public college or university as a resident of Texas, a nonresident, or a foreign (international) student.
Determining Residency
When students apply for admission, the university uses information they provide on their ApplyTexas application to make an initial determination about residency. If the submitted information indicates that the student is not a US citizen or permanent resident but that he or she may qualify for residency based on Texas high school graduation, the student will be prompted by the application to download and submit the Residency Affidavit.
The affidavit is a statement by the student that he or she qualifies for residency. It must be completed, signed, notarized, and submitted to A&M University-Texarkana in order for the student to be classified as a resident.
Establishing Residency
Individuals can establish residency in two basic ways, one based on graduation from high school and the other based on the establishment of domicile. The option related to the establishment of domicile is available to citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and to international students who hold certain types of visas.
Option 1: Residency through High School Graduation
The option of establishing Texas residency is available to citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and to international students.
To establish residency through high school graduation, you must:
- Graduate from a Texas high school or receive a GED in Texas; and
- Live in Texas for the 36 months immediately before high school graduation; and
- Live in Texas for the 12 months immediately before the census date (usually the 12th class day) of the semester in which you enroll at A&M University-Texarkana.
If you are an international student seeking residency through high school graduation, you must submit a Residency Affidavit stating that you will apply for permanent residency when you are eligible to do so.
Option 2: Residency by Establishing Domicile
This option is for establishing Texas residency is available to:
- Citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. (non-citizens and non-permanent residents may also use this option if they have an application for permanent residency on file with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS)).
- International students who hold an eligible visa.
If you are independent for tax purposes, you may gain resident status if you establish domicile in the state. If your parent(s) claim you as dependent on their federal income tax return, they must establish domicile in the state for you to claim residency.
To establish domicile, you or your parent(s) must meet the following criteria:
- Live in Texas for 12 consecutive months; and
- Establish and maintain domicile for 12 consecutive months before census date by doing one of the following:
- Be gainfully employed in Texas (student jobs do not qualify as gainful employment.)
Gainful employment is employment that provides income that is sufficient to provide at least one-half of the individual's tuition and living expenses or that represents an average of at least twenty hours of employment per week
- Sole or joint marital ownership or residential real property in Texas by the person seeking to enroll or the dependent's parent, having established and maintained domicile at the residence
- Own or operate a business in Texas
- Be married for one year to a person who has established domicile in Texas
How do I apply for residency?
If you are a prospective student you must submit an application for admission. Students who complete a U.S. application will complete the residency questions as part of their admissions application. International (who have eligible visas to domicile) students will need to submit the Residency Core Questions or the Residency Affidavit to apply for residency.
Currently enrolled students may submit the Residency Core Questions after they or their parents have lived in Texas for 12 consecutive months.
How can I obtain the Residency Core Questions or the Residency Affidavit?
These forms are available either on our website under Online Forms or in our office located on the second floor of the University Center building.
What other documents should I turn in with the Residency Core Questions form?
You should submit verification that you have established domicile in Texas. To establish domicile, you should submit documentation that verifies:
- One year of employment (paycheck stubs for the past 12 months or letter from employer on company letter head)
- Property ownership in Texas for one year (Warranty Deed)
- Business ownership in Texas for one year
- Proof that you have been married to a Texas resident for one year (marriage license and verification of spouse's employment, property ownership or business ownership in Texas)
After a review of your responses to the Residency Core Questions, the residency determination officer may request items from you to help establish your residency status.
I'd like for my residency status to be reviewed. How and when is the best time to submit a request for re-classification?
A request for re-classification or review of residency must be made before the census date of the semester (the 12th class day). If you submit your request after the census date, your residency status will not be updated until the next semester.
My parents live in a state other than Texas and claim me on their taxes. Can I establish residency?
If your parents live in another state and claim you as a dependent on their federal income taxes, then you are not eligible to establish residency unless one of the following is true:
- You are graduating from a Texas high school
- Your parents can claim a temporary absence from Texas
- You are over the age of 18 and your parents stop claiming you as a dependent when filing federal income taxes; in this case you would be eligible to establish residency as an independent student.
My parents live in Oklahoma. They claimed me as a dependent on their tax return last year and will claim me again this year. But, I've lived in Texas with my aunt for the last year while I finished high school. Am I a Texas resident?
No. Residency of a dependent or minor is based on either:
- The residence of the parent who claimed the dependent or minor for federal income tax purposes both at the time of enrollment and for the tax year preceding enrollment;
- The residence of the parent or court-appointed legal guardian with whom the dependent or minor has live for the 12 months preceding enrollment;
- The residence of the parent or legal guardian who has joint or single custody of the child;
- The residence of the person to whom custody was granted by court order.
Since your parents' claimed you last year and will do so this year, your residence is their residence-Oklahoma.
One of my parents is a Texas resident. May I claim residency even if I live out of state?
You can base Texas residency on the parent who resides in Texas if that parent:
- Claims you as a dependent on his or her federal income tax return; or
- Is eligible to claim you as a dependent on his/her federal income tax return (In general, parents who pay child support are eligible to claim a child for federal income tax purposes.)
If I am temporarily absent from Texas, will I lose my status as a Texas resident?
A temporary absence by a student or by the parent of a student (upon whom the student bases his or her residency) does not affect the student's ability to claim residency if the temporary absence is the result of:
- Service in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Public Health Service, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Department of State; or
- An employment assignment; or
- Educational purposes.
The person or the dependent's parent must provide documentation of the reason for the temporary absence. To claim a temporary absence, a student or parent must first establish Texas residency. Non-resident classification may result if the temporary absence occurs before completion of at least one year of residency connected to establishment of a domicile.
I live in a state other than Texas and I am marrying a Texas resident. Does marriage to a Texas resident make me a Texas resident?
Being married to a Texas resident does not qualify a person for immediate Texas residency. If you are a U.S. citizen , a permanent resident of the U.S., or an international student with an immigration status that allows you to domicile in the U.S. and you are married to a Texas resident, you must live in the state of Texas for 12 consecutive months and be married to a Texas resident for 12 months to qualify for Texas residency.
Spouses of Texas residents may attend a Texas college or university during the 12 months needed to establish residency but will pay out-of-state tuition during that time. If you are in this situation, you may apply for reclassification as a Texas resident after one year of residence in Texas and one year of marriage to a Texas resident.

Each Nov 1 the Church observes All Saints' Day, and many of those saints were martyrs. But what is the difference between martyrdom and suicide? It is the difference between giving and taking. In suicide, one takes his own life, pretending to be the master of it. In martyrdom, one realizes that only God is master of his life, and therefore that he cannot hold on to that life at the cost of betraying God. Martyrdom is the very opposite of suicide, because the martyr declares that God alone is Lord of Life, and that being faithful to Him is worth any price, including death.
As we honor the martyrs and all the saints, let's recommit ourselves to building a world that acknowledges God alone as the Master of life and death.

Friday's a key date to fly your American flag
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 8:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 8:45 a.m.
Raise 'em high and let 'em wave – Friday is Flag Day in America.
With its roots dating back to June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress approved a flag with 13 stars and 13 stripes, the holiday was not officially observed until decades later.
The idea stemmed from a Waubeka, Wis., schoolroom with Bernard J. Cigrand having his students write essays about the flag's significance in 1885.
Cigrand started a Flag Day movement culminating with a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson on May 30, 1916, calling for national observance of Flag Day.
That proclamation was solidified by Congress when, in 1949, President Harry Truman signed an act declaring June 14 as National Flag Day.
"When you compare (the American flag) to any flag in the world, it's like America, it's exceptional," said Jack Janik, president of the National Flag Day Foundation. "Our mission is to pass on the lessons of our flag, the symbol of our great country, young and old," Janik said.
To celebrate Flag Day, he suggested people fly their flags and pledge allegiance to them before reflecting on the "great freedoms" Americans have that others do not.

Men's Squash Sweeps Drexel, Prepares For Top-5 Rival Rochester Saturday
While the final team score was a decisive one, there were several tense individual matches throughout the evening. Sophomore Michael LeBlanc had the longest evening of all, but he held off Joseph Gingold 11-4 in the fifth game to take a 3-2 win at No. 7.
The All-America duo of Samuel Kang and Tyler Osborne both received a bit of a scare at the top two spots, but both pushed through to win in four games. Kang defeated Ibrahim Bakir 11-7 and 11-2 in the final two games, while Osborne topped Justin Singh 11-7 and 11-9.
"This was a very solid result against a good team," said first-year head coach Sean Wilkinson, a Drexel assistant last season. "We have a big challenge awaiting us this weekend, so it was good to earn a quality win tonight."
Freshman Manik Datta remained perfect at the No. 9 spot with a 3-1 win over Nathaniel Fry.
Princeton will take on Rochester Saturday at noon.

text: So, Kirby, what you're saying is, we have two parties that suck right now. They suck a lot, and can't do anything right really. Third parties with good idea could make things better. But we can't have any of those until the two right now fix themselves up. Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose of having the third parties then? We need third parties right now BECAUSE the R's and D's blow balls.

Karla Mallette studies communications between literary traditions in the medieval Mediterranean—especially Arabic and the Romance vernaculars—and the way that we remember that history today. Her first book, The Kingdom of Sicily, 1100-1250: A Literary History (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005), traced the transition between Arabic and Italian literary traditions in medieval Sicily; her second, European Modernity and the Arab Mediterranean (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2010), focused on a southern European tradition of scholarship that identifies the origins of modernity in the contact between Islamic and Christian civilizations in the medieval Mediterranean. Her current project, tentatively titled Lives of the Great Languages: Cosmopolitan Languages in the Medieval Mediterranean, studies the strategies that language uses to transcend the boundaries that language creates. By profiling two pre-modern cosmopolitan languages, Arabic and Latin, and acknowledging the emergent cosmopolitan languages of the twenty-first century, the book contextualizes and defamiliarizes the national language system of European modernity. She has published essays on medieval translations of Aristotelian philosophy, framed narratives, European Orientalism, and Mediterranean Studies, in addition to Italian literature.

Effect of dietary particle size on gastric ulcers, assessed by endoscopic examination, and relationship between ulcer severity and growth performance of individually fed pigs
The effects of dietary particle size on the prevalence and severity of gastric ulcers were examined in 80, individually housed Yorkshire pigs (24.1±2.9 kg) fed ad libitum on finely ground (particle size 578±1.89 μm), maize-wheat diet for 2 weeks. All pigs were examined endoscopically, and ulcers ...
To induce gastric ulcers, finely ground (578±1.89 µm), maize-wheat-based diets containing melatonin 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg, were offered to 64 Yorkshire barrows and gilts (mean weight 22.2±2.0 kg) assigned to 16 pens (4 per pen), until they reached 105 kg. At postmortem, ulcers were scored from 0...
Development and evaluation of an endoscopic technique permitting rapid visualization of the cardiac region of the porcine stomach
An evaluation of the use of a flexible videoscope to efficiently monitor ulcers of the pars oesophagea was carried out in grower-finisher pigs. Gastroscopy was performed on 2 separate occasions in 32 pigs following anaesthesia with intravenous pentobarbital. Ulcers of the pars oesophagea were subjec...
Relationship between melatonin levels in plasma and gastrointestinal tissues and the incidence and severity of gastric ulcers in pigs
Four weeks of administration of melatonin mixed in the diet (5 mg/kg of food) significantly reduced the incidence of gastric ulcers in young pigs. In control and melatonin supplemented animals, significantly higher levels of melatonin were found in the stomach tissues as compared to jejunum, ileum, ...
64 Yorkshire barrows and gilts (29.5 kg liveweight) received a finely-ground (763 µm) or a coarsely-ground (953 µm) corn [maize]-wheat diet, with or without added melatonin (5 mg/kg). One half of the pigs underwent endoscopic examination to assess the severity of stomach ulcers on days 4 and 25. G...

Simulator, Rocket Attitude Motion, V-2
This is an example of a device that used a pendulum, connected to an electrical network, to simulate the pitch and yaw motions of the A-4 (V-2) ballistic missile during design and construction. It was invented by Walter Hauessermann, a member of the original A-4 development team in Germany during World War II. He developed and used similar devices after moving to the Marshall Space Flight Center in the United States after the War.
This artifact was constructed for exhibit purposes in 1975 by Dr. Hauessermann, using parts of several original, but incomplete, devices.
