According to a 2010 National Health Interview Survey from the Center for Disease Control, only 52% of men 18 and older meet the federal physical activity guidelines for aerobic activity. More surprisingly, 22% of men over 18 currently smoke and 31.5% have five or more drinks in one day at least once in the last year. While the life expectancy gap between men and women is getting smaller, men still need to pay careful attention to their bodies.
Men's Health Month is celebrated each June to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. You can get free information on male health issues at Broward County Library.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Digestive disorders affecting infants and children range from simple problems that most children experience, such as vomiting or diarrhea, to more serious problems such as the birth defect tracheoesophageal fistula or illnesses such as appendicitis.
Digestive and liver disorders can have significant effects on the health of a child. A healthy digestive system processes the foods and liquids that we eat, replenishing vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are vital for the body to function properly.
Occasional vomiting or diarrhea may lead to dehydration. However, long-term problems with the digestive system or liver can deplete these important nutrients, causing malnutrition that affects a child's physical and mental growth and development.
Some digestive disorders, such as vomiting or diarrhea, may be effectively treated by your child's physician. Other times, your child's physician may refer you to a physician who specializes in children's digestive and liver disorders. This specialist is known as a pediatric gastroenterologist.

Welcome to Purchase College
Purchase College, founded in 1967 as part of the State University of New York system, was the fulfillment of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's vision to create a learning community which combined professional conservatory programs in the performing and visual arts with rigorous studies in the liberal arts and sciences. This vision continues to be the guiding force in our quest to provide an exceptional educational experience.
Purchase boasts a student body of approximately 4,200 students representing 47 states and 67 countries, who either live on or commute to the 25-building, 500-acre campus in Westchester County, 35 minutes north of Manhattan. Our talented student dancers, musicians, actors, writers, and artists showcase their work not only in Westchester, but also in New York City, Los Angeles, and abroad. Purchase College is in the top tier among public baccalaureate institutions in the nation for the number of psychology and biology graduates who receive doctorates.
Purchase's reputation reflects its distinctive academic programs, its faculty, and its more than 17,500 alumni who play major roles in the arts, entertainment, education, science, and business. Among our distinguished faculty are Guggenheim, Fulbright, and national award-winning artists, journalists, and academics. Graduates include Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award winners, prominent research scientists, journalists, and academics, as well as CEOs of international corporations. The National Science Foundation has recognized Purchase College's leadership in graduating students who attain doctorates in the sciences.
The college's four renowned arts programs function collaboratively as the School of the Arts. Humanities and science programs, both traditional (for example, premed) and interdisciplinary (for example, environmental studies) are administered within the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The college's newest unit, the School of Film and Media Studies, includes programs that encourage students to take courses across areas and schools. Each student's academic career culminates in a senior project that takes the form of a research project, scholarly thesis, exhibition, or performance. Whether a day, evening, part-time, or weekend student, the wide array of courses and access to faculty creates ample opportunities to meet individual needs and objectives.
Since its inception, Purchase College has served as an arts center for the public as well as its students. The Performing Arts Center—a four-theatre complex that is considered one of the finest of its kind on the East Coast—has a full performance calendar and provides a professional venue for student work. The Neuberger Museum of Art, the tenth largest university museum in the country, balances the display of its permanent collection with 10 temporary exhibitions each year.
Purchase College is dedicated to academic excellence in the arts and the liberal arts, to the enrichment and nurturing of its students and to providing access to cultural and recreational opportunities for its neighbors. We are grateful to our many alumni and community members who support the college through scholarships, professorships, and distinguished programs. We will continue to provide access to scholarship and creativity to meet the needs of all of our constituents.
Please enjoy your visit to Purchase College.
Thomas J.Schwarz, President

Tickets went on sale for a handful of Gallivan Center concerts at 10 a.m. Friday. Two of these (Avetts and Grace Potter) were revealed a few weeks back. And although the Amos Lee gig is a rescheduling of the canceled Depot gig from earlier this year, a summer night at Gallivan trumps a winter's night at The Depot. And it's always fun to see bluegrass legend Sam Bush and blues great B.B King. There's also additions planned to this list, which will be arriving piecemeal. And please note, this is NOT the Twilight Series, which barring a miracle, is clearly Pioneer Park bound. That list is expected any day.
This appears to be a decent list of shows, although not mega-exciting - save for the Avetts and a lingering hope that B.B.'s show will be energetic. Kudos to the oft-maligned United Concerts for putting some interesting gigs in a nice outdoor spot.
The surprising upshot to all of this is that who knew that when the Twilight Concert Series abandoned Gallivan, it would mean Salt Lake-area folks would end up with more outdoor music, not less? That is indeed good news. If you count Snowbird - which hasn't weighed in yet, but usually hosts a handful of gigs - along with Red Butte, Twilight and presumably something besides the regular lineup of classical music at Deer Valley some shows at USANA Amphitheatre and Rio Tinto Stadium, Salt Lake has multiple good options for outdoor tunes this summer.
Top it off with a few must-see summer gigs at The State Room - Jason Isbell on June 10, Richmond Fontaine on June 24, The Civil Wars on June 28 and a roots-rock super summit on July 23 featuring Dave Alvin and James McMurtry - and the summer's really taking shape.
Here are the Gallivan shows we know, so far:
Sam Bush - June 9
Toad the Wet Sprocket - July 7
The Avett Brothers - July 10
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - July 16
Amos Lee - Aug. 7
B.B. King - Aug. 18

Research Interests
Restoration Ecology Lab Website
Research in the Restoration Ecology Lab focuses on three primary areas:1) effects of large-scale disturbance on understory plants and trees, 2) efficacy and ecological impacts of ecological restoration treatments, and 3) sampling methods for detecting changes in understory plant abundance. These topics are being explored at landscape, population, and organism scales, through field experiments, retrospective studies, and meta-analyses. Cara and her students are particularly interested in projects that contribute to basic knowledge of plant ecology, provide managers with timely information about the ecological effects of management interventions, and increase understanding of the conceptual foundations of ecological restoration.

RFID update
November 18, 2010 - MMH Editorial
"Wal-Mart Radio Tags To Track Clothing."
That was the headline of a story in The Wall Street Journal this past July. For many in the materials handling business, it was a déjà vu moment. After all, seven years earlier Wal-Mart announced what came to be known as "the mandate," the goal to have all suppliers tagging cases and pallets with RFID smart tags by the end of 2006.
Anyone who ships to Wal-Mart knows how that worked out. But, let's give the retailer credit where credit is due: Without that mandate, we might not be talking about RFID today. And make no mistake about it, when it comes to tackling problems in the supply chain, leading companies of all sizes are talking about RFID.
"The euphoria around Wal-Mart spurred a lot of innovation by the RFID industry," says Kerry Krause, vice president of marketing for Impinj, a provider of RFID readers and silicon chips. "You saw investments in reader technology, chip technology and software that arguably accelerated the progress of the technology."

Waylon: Thanks for having me Bill.
Bill: I'm sure that you get this a lot, but what does TMI stand for?
Waylon: TMI was founded in 1982 by four brothers whose last name is Tuccinardi. You get Tuccinardi Manufacturing Incorporated.
Bill: How did you get in to the Mustang market?
Waylon: Originally we started doing Volkswagen interiors, but we quickly saw the market demand for high-quality premium Mustang upholstery and so we have been doing that now for about 25 years.
Bill: Where do you manufacture your products?
Waylon: We manufacture in Corona, California, where we have about 140,000 square feet and nearly 200 employees who do 100% of our manufacturing right here in the U.S.A.
Bill: I hear that you have some new products for us today?
Waylon: I sure do. Do you want to take a look?
Bill: Sounds good. Early Mustang's have never been known for their storage space. Even if you got the factory console, it still left a lot to be desired. Aftermarket consoles, such as these from TMI, have been popular for years. Waylon, what can you tell me about these two models?
Waylon: What I brought with me today is our standard and deluxe consoles for the '64 to '73 Mustang. A standard console comes in a solid color whereas the deluxe is available in a two-tone or a solid option and it does obviously has a nice chrome accent strip that runs around the edge. I do want to go in to a little bit more detail to show that the premium quality in which these consoles are constructed. I want to point out the French seam that runs down here. It is a nice durable French seam on both sides of the armrest. You open it up and you notice you have a section for your map pocket and there is a lot of storage space and it is nicely carpeted. One of the nice things about these consoles is how easily they install. There is no hardware required. They simply Velcro down to the cars carpet which allows for not only an easy installation but also an easy removal in case you want to put your valuables in here. You can always take it and put it in the trunk or remove it for a car show.
Bill: Even if you have a factory console in the car, these are still a nice affordable upgrade. Waylon, what models are these available for?
Waylon: We make our console to fit the '64 to '73 Mustang without a factory console. If you do have a factory console from '64 to '68 we have another version that is cut out on the bottom and slides right over that factory console.

text: Apr 10, 2013 17:16 Potential Landrieu challengers seek allies Potential Landrieu challengers seek allies U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany BY jordan blum| Advocate Washington Bureau Comments WASHINGTON — The 2014 Republican challenge against U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and her re-election campaign is beginning to heat up as several members of Congress and other potential candidates attempt to curry favor with party powerbrokers behind the scenes. U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, has joined the fray of potential challengers along with U.S. Reps. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge; John Fleming, R-Minden; former U.S. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia; and state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education President Chas Roemer, of Baton Rouge. Boustany defeated Landry by 21.8 percentage points in December in a runoff when the two were forced to run against each other because of redistricting. Now, Boustany is speaking out about possibly challenging Landrieu, too. "We'll take a good look at it and do our due diligence," Boustany said. "During Washington Mardi Gras and subsequently, I had a number of people approach me about running for Senate in 2014," he said. "It all comes down to me — to take a deep breath after a 22-point victory — and how I could best serve the people of Louisiana and the country." Boustany, Cassidy and Fleming are all medical doctors. Cassidy, who has the largest campaign war chest thus far, and Fleming have openly flirted with a Senate run dating back to last year, although none of them has officially announced a Senate campaign. Roemer, the son of former Gov. Buddy Roemer, first openly acknowledged his interest earlier this month. Boustany said one of the people who has reached out to him about possibly running is Baton Rouge contractor and political player Lane Grigsby, who previously supported Cassidy in his bids for the state Senate and then Congress. Grigsby said he has called a few potential candidates and said he is not backing any one person for now. When asked if he is backing away from Cassidy at all, Grigsby said Cassidy would make a great Senate candidate. Grigsby is financing polls the next couple of weeks to help determine who is in the best position to defeat Landrieu, although Grigsby said he is unsure if he will publicly release the polling data. "There's any awful lot of conversations going on," he said. Grigsby said it is critical that the Republican Party and political donors rally soon behind one candidate to challenge Landrieu. "What we don't need, very honestly, are two (Republican) candidates," Grigsby said. "It's going to be a very expensive race." "I'd like to have known two weeks ago," he added. Pearson Cross, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette political science department chairman, said he is "a bit surprised" that Boustany is considering jumping in because he is coming off a tough re-election race and because he is rising in influence in the powerful U.S. House Ways and Means Committee. "I think he's energized by his win, and I think he's feeling confident," Cross said. However, Cassidy has a nearly $2 million lead on Boustany in fundraising because Boustany had to exhaust his campaign account to beat Landry in the most-expensive U.S. House race in state history. But Cassidy also recently broke ties with Timmy Teepell, the top political consultant for Gov. Bobby Jindal. Teepell was assisting Cassidy with his re-election last year. "It's clearly still open right now but, if there is a frontrunner, I think it's Cassidy," Cross said. "I think Republicans are going to have a scrum right now — borrowing a term from rugby — and see who comes away with the ball," he said. Fundraising dollars and endorsements are all fervently being sought behind the scenes right now, Cross said. While Landrieu is vulnerable as the top Democrat in a more-conservative state, Cross said, she has won three Senate races already. The Republican Party seems more determined than ever to defeat Landrieu, he said, but sitting congress members must be wary of the risks of giving up their own seats. "Running for Senate is a graveyard for former congressmen," Cross said. For instance, if Boustany runs for the Senate and Landry does not, then Landry could run for the House seat that he just lost to Boustany. Financially, Cassidy has a head start with more than $2 million in the bank at the end of 2012 after an easy re-election. Fleming trails with a war chest of nearly $500,000, but Fleming is the wealthiest member of the Louisiana delegation and could invest more personal dollars. Boustany and Landry largely depleted their funds after combining to spend about $7 million in their race. Boustany had almost $200,000 in cash in hand at the end of the year. But he also proved his fundraising abilities by taking in more than $4.5 million in his last race. Landry had less than $70,000 at the end of the year. Landrieu leads everyone though with more than $2.5 million in the bank. New polling data collected this month by Public Policy Polling, of North Carolina, which conducts polls for Democrats and progressives, showed Landrieu in good shape thus far. The polling data when matched up head to head showed Landrieu leading Boustany by 48 percent to 42 percent; leading Cassidy by 50 percent to 40 percent; leading Landry 48 percent to 39 percent; and leading Fleming 50 percent to 38 percent. But all of the House members had "not sure" favorability ratings of close to 50 percent, meaning name recognition could have played a key part in the head-to-head matchups.

One Potato, Two Potato
An attempt by the U.S. Agriculture Department to limit the amount of starchy vegetables public schools could serve at lunch was thwarted by the U.S. Senate, after some aggressive lobbying from potato farmers, Time reported.
"Agriculture Department rules proposed earlier this year aimed to reduce the amount of French fries in schools, limited lunchrooms to two servings a week of potatoes and other starchy vegetables," Time said. "That angered the potato industry, some school districts and members of Congress from potato-growing states, who say the USDA should focus on the preparation instead and that potatoes can be a good source of fiber and potassium."
Proponents of the two-serving per week plan said they wanted to encourage students to consume different kinds of vegetables. The limitations were proposed following a federally funded Harvard University analysis of data from the past 20 years, which showed potatoes to be unexpectedly fattening.
In fact, for every additional serving of potatoes people added to their regular diet each day, they gained about a pound over four years. Even mashed, baked or boiled potatoes were caused people to pack on the pounds, perhaps because of their effect on the hormone insulin.
What do you think? Should starches be limited to small servings?

nuclear imaging for heart disease
MUGA (Multiple Gated Acquisition) Scan. Also called radionuclide angiography (RNA), this non-invasive test is used to evaluate the function of the heart ventricles. It measures how much blood is pumped out per heartbeat. A radioactive tracer solution attaches to red blood cells, which are visualized by a special camera and translated on a computer as they travel through the heart. This test is more accurate than an echocardiogram.

Florida Panthers: Could Booth miss rest of season?
I wasn't at practice today — Harvey covered for me — but Coach Pete DeBoer noted for the first time there's no guarantee winger David Booth will return from his concussion this season.
Pete was asked today about the team's standing at this point. Here's what he said.
"Despite our record, I believe we can go on a serious run and make the playoffs. Obviously, David Booth is a wild-card factor whether or not he comes back,'' Pete said. "We're going on 30-plus games playing without him now, so we're not counting on that. The group we have if we can remain relatively healthy…I think we're really close to winning some games.''
I want to make this clear before there's any panic: Pete did not say Booth is out for the season.
But his comments today left open the possibility of that, and it's not something we've heard up to this point. Since the injury Oct. 24, it hasn't been if he'll return this season, but when. In recent weeks, the Panthers have said mid-January for Booth's return and then late January.
Booth has been skating by himself and has increased his exercise regimen. But the Panthers do have to think long-term about a player they signed to a six-year extension this past summer. Asked if Booth has had another setback, Pete said:
"I wouldn't call them setbacks. The problem with this type of injury — you have to take small steps forward and you have to take another one back and a couple more forward and inch your way toward getting him back."
Then Pete added this, the last part of which I found interesting:
"There has been no major setbacks, but it's a real significant injury. We've seen too many guys in this league, Eric Lindros, Keith Primeau…careers end, and it's something [where] we want to make sure that David is part of this franchise for a long time.''

Demons await above the main gate.Never have Salt Lakers been so eager to get the hell scared out of them. This week, at the newly opened Fear Factory, crowds turned up en masse to kick off their Halloween weekend at the impressive installation, which has been fed $4 million in renovations and had to delay its opening to meet stringent fire and safety code regulations.
Zombies and ghouls roamed outside the old cement factory between the freeway overpass and active railroad track, bringing an authentic creepiness with loud clanging and lights. An abandoned factory to the east ups the setting, and that's all before you even enter through the wrought iron gates topped with demons and other petrifying creatures looking down on the crowd.
The tower... of death. (Photo courtesy of Fear Factory.)The presentation itself—well over half an hour of scares—is in need of more part-time ghouls, darker corners, disorienting scenarios and less conspicuous security. But give these folks a little time—once they work out all the kinks, this could be an unstoppable fright fest. (And they are working to boost the fear factor by adding to the team of actors with auditions today at 4:30 p.m.)
Nonetheless, with its creepy industrial gargoyle-and-demon laden towers and sinister address (666 W. 900 South), it is easily the best space for a haunted house in the region. The maze mixes indoor and outdoor scenarios, and talented and disturbing creatures await to jump out and creep you out while you weave through the lines. Live action chainsaw maniacs, demented doctors, vampires, zombies, killer clowns and goblins as well as mechanized flesh-eaters, demons and skeletons all brought shrieks.
Demented zombies and ghouls getting creepy with it. (Photo by J.M. Diaz Photography.)
The thrills won't end on Oct. 31. Fear Factory plans to do events all year round, including weddings and private parties.

Halle's 8th Rockstar Birthday (39 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
For my daughters 8th birthday she told me she wanted her party to be Purple, Pink and Black and a fun theme for her friends. So we decided on doing a Rockstar party with that color scheme and then also added some teal. From there I designs her Rockstar Printables and we used the guitars and lots of Stars through out all her party decorations. We picked bold colors to really stand out and pop against the black.
DIY Projects: we did lots of DIY projects for her party, always fun and normally saves some omoney making the items yourself. First I made the Name Blocks, bought a 2x4 and cut it in't 5in and 3in blocks and then spray painted them all black. I then used my handy Cricut and cut our her name using Glitter cardstock. Second we made the glitter Star Garland , using our cricut we also cut out some glitter stars in 2 different sizes and taped them to clear fishing line. This garland was used for our back drop. We also created the center pieces using our guitar extra larger printables, hot pink tulle, and blume boxes, perfect for your table center pieces. We also made the Tassel Garland for the backs of the chairs. I had some paper mache boxes so I painted them pink and teal and we wrapped ribbon around them for the dessert table, to give the cake plates some different heights.
Dessert Table: Now here's the fun table filled with all the yummy desserts. To start with I contacted some of my favorite vendors and sent them some sample pintables so we could keep the same theme and colors through out all our desserts. Roni from Roni's Sugar Creations sent me the most delicious chocolate caramels apples ( you might remember her apples from my daughters cowgirl party!) with big purple and pink bows and them we added small glitter stars to the middle of the bows. We put them on really pretty black trays we got from Nikka of Triple M Good Parties she makes really pretty cake plates and stands . I also got some amazing cake pops from Cupcake Cuties Bakery , we sent her some of our striped straws and we cut them down do fit perfectly for our cake pops, she added glitter swirl's to each cake pop so fun and cute. Ang from Icings by Ang sent me the most amazing decorated sugar cookies, her art work on the rockstar cookies is stunning. Next I ordered some Fondant Cupcake Toppers to match our Printables from Rachel Skvaril of Fondant Fingers, and they matched perfect. I also ordered chocolate covered oreos from Maria of Love & Sugar Kisses she incorporated our chevron print which was amazing on the oreos along with other designs to match. I stayed up late as always and did my midnight baking the night before the party to make some yummy Chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting to go on each side of the dessert table. I also go some bonier bites from the store and added left over buttercream frosting in star shapes. We Also added some chocolate covered hershey's candy bars using our Printable wrappers on each end of the table along with some hershey's kisses with our printable rockstar mini stickers.

I am confused why Babb wasnt able to shoot FT's at the end of the game. My roommate and I were talking and when somebody fouls someobdy else on an inbounds play, they get to shoot if they are in the bonus. But Babb didnt because he didnt have possession? Still confused about this. If anybody can explain, I would greatly appreciate it.
Oh well, on to Baylor. Im expecting a crazy atmosphere and a great game.
***Official Unofficial Spokesman of Cyclone Fanatic.***

The refs don't know the rules evidently.
On the Clyburn foul with no possession there were shots. On the foul against Babb there were none.
OSU was gagging on ref schlong before the game.
The refs listened and responded to Travis Ford's ********. /thread
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
The announcers on TV said it was a player control foul, but I only thought that only applied to an offensive foul?
Originally Posted by spierceisu

I'm guessing since they had the ball out of bounds, and we never gained possession, it was considered an offensive foul, much like a charge.
Now that MBB is back, do we still have to pretend that WBB matters?
I agree. They got to shoot 2 free throws when Clyburn came over back. Same play Nash came over Babbs back no free throws?
Makes no sense
Per some Iowa Boys Basketball officials at the bar I was at, the Babb foul with no shots was due to ISU not having "team control of the ball". As in, Oklahoma State was inbounding, Babb steps in to steal but never actual had the ball in his control when fouled.
Babb didn't have possession of the ball, so it wasn't a back court player control foul with automatic 1&1 free throws.

They were in the bonus, we weren't.
I would rather take a shot at a 3 then a 1 and 1.

OSu didn't have ball yet when we shot it and Clyburn came over back.

That foul put ISU in the bonus.
My question is:
If we didn't have control of the ball (and the foul happened before Babb even touched the ball), why didn't we get to take it out in front of our bench? The ball never got into play, so shouldn't the change of possession take place at the point where they inbounded the ball rather than where the foul occurred?

So, the bonus would apply to the next foul, not that one. I wish it weren't so.

Mir Expedition EO-21. Soyuz TM-23 docked with Mir at 14:20:35 on February 23. The spacecraft undocked on September 2 at 04:20 GMT, and made a small seperation burn at 04:24:40 GMT. Deorbit was at 06:47:20 GMT . The three modules separated at 07:14:36 and the parachute deployed at 07:26 GMT. The landing was at 07:41:40 GMT, 100 km SW of Akmola in Kazakstan with Yuri Onufrienko, Yuriy Usachyov and Claudie Andre-Deshays. This concluded the French 'Cassiopee' mission.
AKA: Skif (Roman-age tribe); Soyuz TM-23.
First Launch: 1996.02.21.
Last Launch: 1996.09.02.
Duration: 193.80 days.
Mir: The passes of Mir for our area take place during the night hours and so there is not much to report about the life on board. Module Priroda: The launch of this module has been put back again. Latest available planned launch date: 23.04.1996. Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
The first operation will be the launch of the module Priroda. The Russians want to launch this module on 23.04.1996, but further delay might be possible. In fact all is ready for that launch, but specialists responsible for the power supply of that module want to be sure that the accumulators are fully reliable if unexpected the Priroda has to fly longer than the estimated period between launch and docking. The Priroda has not been equipped with solar panels and if the accumulators show failures there are no alternatives. That is why the experts responsible for the power systems and energy consumption take more time for tests. The dates for some important operations can be set only after the launch and successful docking of Priroda and the redocking thereafter. Priroda has to dock to the forward axial port (-X axis) and will be repositioned from there to the radial port (+Z axis). After this the date for the launch of the freighter Progress-M31 can be determined.
2d Spacewalk (EVA) 21st Main Expedition Mir: Possibly this operation will be executed in May this year. The cosmonauts will have to transfer one of the solar panels which have been brought to Mir by Atlantis (STS-74) and who are still attached at the outer surface of the Docking Compartment (SO - so not Docking Module. SO stands for 'Stykovochnyy Otsek'). They will have to transfer that solar panel to the astrophysical module Kvant-1 (Module-E). During this operation they will use the 2d Strela, which they installed during their first EVA. With this 2d Strela-crane they have the possibility for movements between the SO and the Kvant-1. Originally the Russians planned to install on Kvant-1 the solar panel which is still at the outer surface of the Kristall-module, but they preferred the installation on Kvant-1 of a brand new one. The Russians hope to accomplish this task during that 2nd EVA, but they are ready to insert a 3rd EVA if necessary. The solar panels which have been brought to Mir on the outer surface of the SO will not be deployed from there, but will be used on parts of the Mir-complex.
VDU: This abbreviation stands for External Engine Installation. This is the box, which can be seen in the top of the long Sofora mast which has been erected on Kvant-1. Nobody was sure about the use or the usefulness of that engine. In an interview Thomas Reiter told me that this VDU often is used for the orientation of the complex during periods in which the gyrodynes have to be silenced for repositioning. These gyrodynes cannot turn through 360 degrees and so now and then repositioning is necessary. There is a problem for the future: when the fuel of the VDU has been spent refuelling will not be possible. Perhaps the Russians hoped that fuel would be sufficient for the VDU at least until the end of the operational life of Mir in 1997 or 1998. So if they want to prolong the use of Mir by some years they will have to find a way to refuel that VDU or to install a new one.

Priroda: The module for remote sensing Priroda is also known as TsM-I and 77KSI. In space Priroda has a mass of 19.5 tons. The mass of the payload is 10.5 tons, among which 1.2 tons as a supplement for the equipment of the Mir-complex, the remote sensing equipment has a mass of 4.7 tons and Priroda can transport 1.8 tons cargo. The original planning foresaw in a solar array in the front of Priroda (axial), but the place of the array is now used for the installation of extra equipment and experiments. So during the autonomous flight Priroda has to depend on the nickel cadmium accumulators for her power supply. Priroda must have an active lifetime of more than 3 years.
Cargo: Priroda will also deliver additional equipment to the Mir station, experiments for Shannon Lucid and the SAFEX-2 transceiver for radio-amateur activities.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
During the first day the flight went well, all systems functioned normally. On 24.04 two orbit corrections will be executed to bring Priroda in a higher orbit. This will also be done on 25.04. After the corrections on 25.04 the orbit must have an apogee of 404 KM and a perigee of 358 KM. On docking day (26.04) the last 2 orbit corrections will take place.
Estimated day/time of docking:
On 26.04.1996 at 12.43.00 UTC. So the soft docking (Kasaniye) will take place just a few minutes after LOS of both objects for our position during the first pass over here in Mir's orbit 58195 and Priroda's orbit 48. So there might be traffic from Mir about the approaching Priroda between 1233-1238 UTC. Undoubtedly the Russians will use the eastern geostationary satellite (Altair-2 on 96 dgs East) for communications, but mostly during such operations traffic can also be monitored on VHF. Possibly it might be worthwhile to monitor Mir/Altair-1 windows in the period before approach and docking.
Repositioning of Priroda: If the docking on 26.04.1996 will be successful the repositioning of Priroda will take place on the next day, 27.04.1996. Priroda will be repositioned by a manipulator arm (the Lyappa) from the forward port of the transition section (P.Kh.O.), -X axis to the radial port of that section, +Z axis.
Progress-M31: The launch date of this freighter depends on the docking- and repositioning operations with Priroda. If this all goes according to plan Progress-M31 will be launched on 8.05.1996.
Safex-2: In fact this complete radio-amateur station has been installed in Priroda and does not belong to the cargo transported by that module. For this radio station 3 antennae have been installed on Priroda.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
On 27.04.1996 at 0800 UTC Priroda will remove itself with a manipulator arm (the Lyappa) to the +Z axis. After that operation the airseal can be checked before the opening of the hatches. The repositioning will take place out of our range.
A part of the cargo of Priroda consists of biological experiments for the production of clean medical preparations and 900 KG equipment and experiments for the American astronaut Shannon Lucid. Priroda has been equipped by a lot of equipment for scientific research of the earth (all kinds of devices and camera's for remote sensing) and the atmosphere.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Power supply problems: Radio traffic during 27, 28 and 29.04.96 revealed that the cosmonauts worked on problems regarding the power supply of Priroda. After the redocking Priroda will get power from the S.E.P. (power supply system) of the Mir complex.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Spacewalk (EVA): It might be possible that the 2d EVA of the crew of the 21st Main Expedition to Mir will be put forward too. The date 8.05 has been mentioned, but the exact date still has to be determined.
Priroda: The repositioning of this module on 27.04. took place between 0830 and 0920 UTC, so considerably shorter than originally reported.
SAFEX-2: This radio-amateur station on board Priroda cannot be used before the Priroda is unpacked and fully operational.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
On the 2d day of the flight again signals from Progress-M31's transmitters.
Docking Progress-M31: On 7.05.1996 at 08.54.17 UTC Progress-31M docked automatically at the forward axial docking port of the Mir-complex (-X axis). During the first pass over here of both objects in orb. 58364 (1016-1026 UTC) Onufriyenko could be heard reporting data of the approach. He was following the approach on the screen of the TORU (remote guidance from the inside of Mir) monitor. He was ready to take over the guidance if necessary or ordered by TsUP. On the screen he could see the docking port where Progress-M31 had to dock.
Opening of the hatch: Already during the next pass in orb. 58365 they accomplished the airseal checks and opened the hatch at 10.25.11 UTC, so within our range.
Cargo: This has a mass of 2410 KG and consists of the normal cargo delivered by Progresses: water, fuel, letters, equipment, repair material etc.
Spacewalk (EVA): The next EVA of this crew is on schedule for 18 or 19.05.1996.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Radio traffic between the cosmonauts and Sannon Lucid who kept watch on board Mir went via the normal VHF-frequencies and was relayed via the geostationary satellite Altair (Kosmos-2054) on 16 dgs West. Shannon assisted the cosmonauts during the putting on and off of their spacesuits. During the EVA she took care for the systems of the space station and the communications.
3d EVA: This is on schedule in the night from 24 to 25.05.96. Opening of the hatch on 24.05 at 2050 UTC, closing of the hatch on 25.05.96 at 0205 UTC. During this EVA the cosmonauts will deploy, connect and test the solar panel on Kvant-1.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
4th EVA: This EVA is on schedule for 30.05.1996 between 1900-2100 UTC. Main task will be the transfer of the MOMS (opto-electronic stereo scanner) to the outer surface of the Priroda module and the installation of this device over there. The MOMS has been delivered to Mir as a part of the cargo of the Priroda. Apart from this work they will also have to accomplish some minor tasks.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
6th EVA Onufriyenko and Usachov:
This EVA will take place on 13.06.1996. Times not decided yet. During this EVA the cosmonauts will install Ferma-3 (a girder or truss construction) at the outer surface of the astrophysical module Kvant-1. Experience with constructions like these are very important for the future. They will be used for the building and exploitation of the International Space Station Alpha.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
6th EVA: Still on schedule for 13.06.96. Times not yet decided. Task: Installation of the Ferma-3 girder construction at the outer surface of the astrophysical module Kvant-1.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Soyuz-U: Within the period of some weeks 2 launches of reconnaissance satellites with the carrier Soyuz-U failed. The first time this was on Baykonur on 13.05. 49 seconds after lift off the payload fairing came loose and the control-system gave the command for self-destruction. The commission to investigate the accident failed to find a unanimous conclusion. 4 different possibilities had been suggested even the rather bizarre idea that a big bird collided with the rocket. Normally all launches of analogue rockets are suspended until the experts know for sure the cause of the accident. This time they did not wait until a definite conclusion and launched another spy-satellite, now from Plesetsk using the rocket Soyuz-U. And again exactly after 49 seconds the fairing came loose and rocket and satellite were destroyed. This time the commission started a thorough investigation, which is still going on. So possibly the launch of the freighter Progress-M32 will be put back again.
Mir-routine: Life goes on: the 2 Russians and Shannon Lucid are still in a very good mood. They do not seem to worry about the 'rocket' problems. The relief crew for Onufriyenko and Usachov has to fly with the Soyuz-TM24 on 14.08.1996. This crew consists of the Russians Manakov and Vinogradov and de French cosmonaut Claudie Andree-Deshays. For this launch a modified rocket, the Soyuz-U2 is needed. Financial problems might put a spoke in the wheel. During the last week Shannon Lucid worked with the Glove box. She met some problems with contacts and switches but resolved these by the help of an expert at TsUP Moscow. Shannon Lucid will be relieved by John Blaha during the 4th Shuttle-Mir docking mission STS-79 by Atlantis in the beginning of August.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Soyuz-TM24: Shannon Lucid also said that the Russians still stick to the launch of this ship on 14.08.1996 with Manakov, Vinogradov and Claudie Andree-Deshays and the return of Onufriyenko and Usachov together with the French guest-cosmonaut on 30.08.1996 with the Soyuz-TM23. So possibly Lucid will be in the Mir-station during the mission of Andree-Deshays.
Progress-M32: If there will be permission for the use of the rocket Soyuz-U before 21.07.1996 this freighter will be launched from Baykonur in the night from 21 to 22.07.1996.
Just before the deadline for this report the press-service of TsUP near Moscow did not have information about changes and sticks to the original schedule: Launch Atlantis: 31.07.1996, Launch Progress-M22: night from 21. to 22. 07.1996, and Launch Soyuz-TM24: 14.08.1996.
Moscow confirmed that changes might be possible.
Chris van den Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202
Progress-M32: Still to be launched in the night from 21 to 22.07.96.
Soyuz-TM24: The ship will have to bring the relief crew and the French cosmonaut to the Mir-station. Soyuz-TM24 with a crew of 3 persons will be launched by the use of the rocket Soyuz-U, so not with the more powerful Soyuz-U2. To enable Soyuz-TM24 to have a rendezvous with Mir after being launched with a Soyuz-U rocket , the Mir-station had to be brought in a lower orbit. The engines of the Progress-M31 corrected Mir's orbit on 2 and 4.07.96.
Radio-amateur traffic: Now and then phone from Mir on 145.550 mc. That what is needed for Packet radio traffic is always in use for service traffic on 143.625 mc. The downlink signals of the Mir-station only give the P/R confirmation (R0Mir-CUP). The transmitter of Safex-2 in the Priroda-module can be heard in a recorded greeting in Russian and English on 437.925 mc, FM-N. This frequency is also in use as a primary frequency for ISM-purposes (Industrial Scientific and Medical), which means that there might be a lot of interference if that frequency is in use for ISM by local stations, for instance hospitals.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Soyuz-TM24: The intention still exists to launch this ship with the crew of the 22d Main expedition to Mir (Manakov and Vinogradov) and the French cosmonaut Claudie Andre- Deshays on 14.08.1996, but a final decision has not yet been made. It might be possible that the Russians entrust the launch of the unmanned Progress-M to the carrier Soyuz-U, but wait with the green light for the use of that carrier for a manned ship until the eventual successful launch of the freighter.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Progress-M32 has to link up with Mir at the forward axial port (-X axis). The first approach will be in the automatic mode by the system Kurs. The crew has to be ready to use the TORU (Tele-operating Guidance regime). If the automatic approach will fail the first time the crew will control the approach the next day using TORU. During the pass in orbit 59500 from 0918-0930 UTC today the crew got instructions about this operation.
During the flight signals from Progress-M32 can be monitored in the 166, 165 and 922 MC bands.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202..
Towards the planned launch time (24.07 at abt. 2247 UTC) the Mir station was in visual range of Baykonur and the crew hoped to see the start. So they did not see anything and during the pass in orbit 59591 (0500-0512 UTC) Onufriyenko asked TsUP why the launch has been postponed.
Meanwhile the cosmonauts continue the preparations for the departure of the freighter Progress-M31, still docked to the station. They are loading the Progress-M31 with things they do not longer need . Progress-M31 remains docked at the station until the 2d day of the flight of Progress-M32 when it is obvious that the systems of that freighter are functioning normally.
Soyuz-TM24: About this ship with the relief crew Manakov and Vinogradov and the French spacionaute Claudie Andre-Deshays there will be a press-conference in Ts.P.K. (Starcity) on 26.07.1996. Undoubtedly the failure of the Soyuz-U rocket will be discussed there and we hope to get information about the eventual launch of Soyuz-TM24 on 14.08.1996.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
The estimated docking time of Progress-M32 at Mir: 2.08.1996 at abt. 2159 UTC.
Soyuz-TM24: The launch of this ship with the relief crew and the French spacionaute is now on schedule for 20.08.1996. We hope to get an eventual confirmation or additional information by CNES during this week.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
If all continues to go according to plan the Progress-M32 will link up with Mir on 2.08.1996 at 2158 UTC. The first pass (of that sequence) of Mir and Progress-M32 in Mir's orbit 59727, will last from 2147 until 2154 UTC. So during this pass the final approach is going on and radio communications regarding this operation possibly can be monitored in the VHF-band.
The Progress-M32 will deliver to the Mir-station a cargo of 2478 KG. 328 KG of this cargo consists of experiments and equipment to be used by the French spacionaute Claudie Andre-Deshays during her Cassiopeia mission to Mir this month. The cargo further consists of water, food, fuel, oxygen, letters, equipment, software, spare parts etc.
Progress-M31: This freighter is still docked at the forward (-X axis) port of the Mir-station and this port has to be free for the arrival of Progress-M31's successor Progress-M32. For that reason Progress-M31 will separate from Mir on 1.08.1996 at 1642 UTC and after a short autonomous flight this freighter will be put on a destruction course and burn up in the atmosphere over a designated area of the Pacific East of New-Zealand.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK-3202.
Progress-M32 docked at the Mir-station (-X axis, forward port transition section) on 2.08.1996 at 22.03.44 UTC. So 6 minutes later than planned. Approach and docking were executed in the automatic mode by the use of the system Kurs.
Radio traffic: As always during such operations the radio traffic was very interesting. During the pass in orb. 59727, 2149-2156 UTC , the approach was still going on. The crew just accomplished a test of the TORU-system (for eventual manual guidance by the Mir-crew). They did not use this system. At 215520 UTC the distance between Progress-M32 and Mir was 180 M. The cosmonauts monitored the images made from Progress-M32 of the station on their displays. They also observed the approaching Progress-M32 via illuminators. The traffic revealed that, though somewhat slower than planned, the operation was proceeding well. During the next pass in orb. 59728, 2327-2333 UTC, radio traffic revealed that Progress-M32 had docked at Mir. The preparations for the opening of the hatches were going on, i.e. airseal checks, the equalisation of the pressures in Progress-M32 and Mir, deployment of an air hose, and so on. During the pass in orb. 59729, on 3.08.1996 from 0057-0107 UTC, the hatches were open and de cosmonauts already had entered the freighter to remove things which had to be transferred to the complex as soon as possible. After checks of the systems of Progress-M32 and the work to be sure that Progress-M32 was fixed at the station tight and safely the crew could go asleep. And so did, tired but satisfied, your 'observer'.
The Progress-M32, will -relatively- remain a part of the Mir-complex for a short period: If the operations with Soyuz-TM24 (relief crew) will proceed according to plan (of this moment) Progress-M32 has to depart on 20.08.1996 to free the forward docking port for the Soyuz-TM24, which has to be launched on 19.08.1996. Progress-M31: This old freighter separated from Mir on 1.08.1996 at 16.44.54 UTC. and burnt up in the atmosphere. (Further details in a next Mir-report.)
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Launch of Soyuz-TM24: The launch of this ship with the above mentioned crew members has been put forward and will now take place from Baykonur on 17.08.1996 at abt 1317 UTC.
The service call sign of the crew is FREGAT, so resp. Fregat-1. -2 and -3).
The names of the new crew and the earlier launch date had been given by a recorded message of Shannon Lucid transmitted from Mir on 437.925 mc.
Progress-M31: As already has been reported this freighter ceased her existence on 1.08.1996. The exact times of this operation were: Separation from Mir: 16.44.45 UTC, start reentry burn: 19.44.30 UTC and burning up over a designated area in the Pacific East of New Zealand: 2033 UTC.
Progress-M32: This freighter is still docked at Mir. If the launch and first part of the flight of Soyuz-TM24 will proceed as planned Progress-32 will undock from Mir on 18.08.1996 and burn up in the atmosphere.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Progress-M32: This freighter will separate from Mir on 18.08.1996 at 0931 UTC. In contradiction to the supposition in MirNEWS.321 Progress-M32 will not be brought on a destruction course, but stay in orbit in an autonomous flight. The Progress-M32 will redock to Mir after the departure of Soyuz-TM23 with the relieved crew. The redocking has to take place on 3.09.1996. Progress-M32 will be used to reboost the Mir-complex in the original somewhat higher orbit after the return to earth of Atlantis (STS-79) in September.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
On Feb 7 at 16:28:01 GMT the EO-22 crew and American astronaut Linenger undocked the Soyuz TM-24 ferry from the front docking port, flew it around to the far side of the complex and redocked at the rear Kvant port at 16:51:27 GMT. This cleared the forward port for the arrival of the EO-23 crew, who brought with them German astronaut Reinhold Ewald on Feb 12.
Progress-M32: This freighter separated from Mir on 18.08.1996 at 0934 UTC. The autonomous flight of the Progress-M32 will last until 3.09.1996.
Soyuz-TM23: Return to earth of relieved crew of ME 21 (Onufriyenko and Usachov) and Claudie Andre-Deshays with the Soyuz-TM23 has been put back until 2.09.1996.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Soyuz-TM23: This ship will return to earth on 2.09.1996 with the relieved crew of ME 21 and Claudie.
Progress-M32: This freighter is flying in a somewhat higher orbit than Mir. Progress-M32 will redock at Mir on 3.09.1996.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
0110 UTC: The hatch behind the departing cosmonauts was closed.
0417 UTC: Soyuz-TM23 separated from Mir to begin a short autonomous flight.
The aimed landing position was in a distance of 107 KM from Tselinograd in Kazakhstan with an estimated landing time of 07.41.03 UTC. (So they landed 37 sec. later in another position).
Progress-M32: This freighter is still flying autonomously. Redocking to the Mir complex is on schedule for 3.09.1996 at abt. 0755 UTC.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK320.

Let's Talk About Marriage
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
This is a message to smile at each other, take time out for each other and don't forget God.
I think you should keep your marriage a priority. Couples with biological children need to put their marriage first too. They say the best thing you can do for your children is love your spouse. It would not be healthy to sacrifice your marriage to be a Mom.
My brother and his wife were not able to have children, and they began by fostering a young boy with special needs. He was about 5-6, I think, and they were just 40/early 40s. They have since adopted this boy, and he is doing well. Not to say it has been without issues--there have been struggles, but they meet each challange as it comes, with faith and prayer. Based on watching them, I would say it can be done, if both of you are on the same page about it. There is no doubt demands for your time will change--any child will do that--but it can all be worked with if you are willing to do it.
Unknown - We struggled with fertility before finally getting pregnant in our late 30s. I seriously debated this very issue many times in my head. Since infant adoption is so difficult, I seriously debated the idea of adopting an older child. I never had to make that decision. We did finally get pregnant, but I am not sure I could have done it. I'd like to say I would have the courage to enter down such a difficult road, but I'm not sure I could have in the end. I think that if you pray about it and feel called to it, it could be extremely rewarding. I will pray for your decision!

State legislators are trying to figure out how to overcome a $500 million shortfall, without cutting the money to education further. More than a decade ago, the Kentucky Lottery was formed as a way to raise money for education. Now one of the most talked about topics these days, includes the allocation of lottery funds.
In 2001-02 the Kentucky Lottery brought in $638.7 million. Here's a breakdown:
Gross $638.7M
The 27% going to the state, produced $173 millions. More than $94 million went to fund college scholarship. Last year, nearly $53 million was marked for need-based scholarships (CAP/KTG), while $41.5 million was set aside for merit-based scholarships (KEES). Last year, nearly 6,000 students attending Western Kentucky University received lottery money.
In addition to the scholarships, $3.7 million went into an Affordable Housing Trust Fund, while $3 million went to fund literacy programs. This money includes an Early Reading Incentive Fund, which gives grants to elementary schools. The rest, $71.4 million went into the state's general fund. Once in the general fund, there's no way to track how the money is specifically used.
By 2005-06, the state's general fund won't be seeing a dime of lottery profits. A relatively new law dictates by 2005-06, all lottery revenue will be earmarked into the above mentioned categories.
