Dear ladies and sirs,
I live in Austria where I have studied ancient music. During summer I am going to be in Houston (August) with my husband, who is from Houston. Last time we were there, it was very difficult for me to find information about concerts or workshops in that area.
I would really appreciate it if you could send me some information about people that build recorders in and around Houston and whether there are concerts during that time. Or if you know about a good instrument-store. I would like to buy a tenor-recorder.
very many thanks in advance

The Stranger
by Albert Camus
The Stranger Part 1, Chapter 6 Summary
- Waking up on Sunday proves hard for Meursault; Marie has to shake him. The bright sun feels like a "slap in the face," which at this point doesn't surprise us at all.
- The pair goes over to Raymond's. Meursault reflects that on Saturday, he and Raymond had gone to the police station so Meursault could testify about the woman having cheated on him. Because of this testimony, Raymond had got off with only a warning.
- As they head toward the bus stop, Raymond points to a group of Arabs in front of the tobacconist's shop. The second one from the left is supposedly the brother of Raymond's ex-girlfriend.
- We know this brother has been tailing Raymond, but no one follows as they get onto the bus.
- Meursault, Raymond, and Marie arrive at Raymond's friend's wooden bungalow. Masson, Raymond's friend, has a plump wife with a Parisian accent who bonds with Marie. Seeing the two women laugh, for the first time Meursault really thinks about the fact that he is getting married.
- Masson, Meursault, and Marie go for a swim down at the beach. Privately, Masson tells Meursault that Marie is both stunning and charming.
- Why does everyone's name start with "M"?
- The three swim for a while, Meursault (expectedly) dozes off, and they all have lunch together at Masson's.
- They have fish, meat, wine, and fried potatoes; Meursault drinks and smokes a lot. So does Marie.
- Afterwards, as the two ladies take care of the dishes, the three men take a stroll down the beach. The sun is beating down hard, which is never good news.
- At this point, Raymond points to two Arabs in blue overalls walking towards them from the far end of the beach. These are the same men who have been following Raymond around all week. This, too, is never good news.
- The three men plan an attack, in case any trouble arises.
- The blazing sand looks red to Meursault by the time the Arabs confront them. Red like blood. Foreshadowing alert!
- Raymond steps up to one of the Arab men, his ex-girlfriend's brother, and strikes the first blow. Masson hits the other man twice; he falls face down in the water. Raymond apparently strikes another hit, as the other Arab's face starts to bleed.
- The Arab cuts Raymond's arm and slashes his mouth with a knife. Masson lunges forward, but the Arabs start backing off slowly and eventually run away.
- Masson takes Raymond to a doctor who spends his Sundays up on the plateau. Meursault isn't happy about having to explain the blood and whatnot to the women folk—who are pretty upset—so he just shuts up and smokes, like any good detached fellow would do.
- At 1:30 p.m. (Meursault, in his narration, keeps telling us what time it is), Raymond comes back all bandaged up. He looks rather grim, though 'tis only a flesh wound. When Raymond goes to get some air at the beach, Meursault follows him.
- The sun is overpowering with its heated rays. Uh oh.
- The pair once again stumbles upon the two Arabs, this time lying down in their greasy overalls near the little spring at the end of the beach. They seem calm.
- Raymond debates whether or not to shoot the Arab who attacked him, but Meursault says it would be lousy to do so if the Arab doesn't draw his knife first.
- Finally, at Meursault's suggestion, Raymond hands him his gun, so he can take the Arab on without a weapon, "man to man." If the other Arab moves in or draws his knife, Meursault promises to let him have it.
- Most interesting line ever: Meursault says that this is the moment when he realized one could either shoot or not shoot. Go ahead and compare this to his earlier conversation with his boss.
- The sun glares down as everyone stares at one another. The Arabs back away behind a giant rock, and Raymond and Meursault turn back to the beach house.
- The sun's heat is intense from by now. As soon as Raymond disappears up the stairs to the bungalow, Meursault turns back around toward the beach.
- His head swells under the sun as he walks. This heat, Meursault thinks, is better than tolerating the women's tears back at the beach house. He wants to find shade and isolation.
- As Meursault approaches the spring, he sees one of the Arabs again—Raymond's girlfriend's brother— lying there alone on his back.
- The Arab sees Meursault, and reaches in his pocket for a knife. Meursault grips the gun inside his jacket as a reflex.
- Meursault realizes that all he has to do is turn around towards the beach house. But the sweltering beach and the scorching sun compel him to take a few steps toward the cool spring.
- He notes that the sun's heat is similar to the day he buried his mother. Hmm!
- The Arab doesn't move at first, but as Meursault gets closer, he draws his knife and holds it up to Meursault.
- The light bounces off the steel and cuts like a blade at Meursault's forehead. A drip of sweat temporarily blinds him.
- The flash of the blade slashes at his eyelashes and stabs at his stinging eyes. Everything begins to reel.
- The specific language here is important, by the way, so you really should read your book. But just in case you lost your text (did the dog eat it?) we'll do our best to help you out.
- Meursault squeezes his hand around the revolver. But does he shoot?
- Meursault records that "the trigger gave." Afterwards, he knows he has "shattered the harmony of the day." So to top it off, he fires four more times. And "It was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness."

Former Daily Mirror Reporter Says Phone Hacking Widespread at Paper Under Piers Morgan
Said "it was seen as a bit of wheeze." Oh, those Brits.
James Hipwell, a former business reporter at the Daily Mirror, today said he is prepared to testify before a parliamentary public inquiry that phone hacking at the paper was "endemic," according to The Independent. This just the latest development in the ever-expanding phone hacking scandal which, since News of the World closed down and Rupert Murdoch's bid for British broadcaster BSkyB collapsed, has been implicating more and more of News International's competitors. Foremost among them the Daily Mirror and its former editor, Piers Morgan, who took over Larry King's slot at CNN earlier this year.
Hipwell, who worked at the paper under Piers Morgan, claims phone hacking was particularly widespread in the Mirror's showbiz unit, which was located near where he and the other business reporters sat. Speaking to The Independent:
They would call a celebrity with one phone and when it was answered they would then hang up. By that stage the other phone would be into their [the celebrity's] voicemail and they would key in the code, 9999 or 0000. I saw that a lot. After they'd hacked into someone's mobile, they'd delete the message so another paper couldn't get the story.
After his name was first dragged into the fray last week, Piers Morgan went to Twitter to vigorously deny ever having okay-ed phone hacking while at the Daily Mirror or ever having published a story based on information retrieved through phone hacking. He even took to Wolf Blitzer's CNN show to lambast Louise Mensch, a member of Parliament who publicly pointed to a section of Piers's book where he discusses a "little trick" that sounds an awful lot like what Hipwell describes above. Granted, Piers does clarify (around the 3:18 mark) that in the book he only mentions knowing about the trick, not having used it — in 2007 he did call the practice an invasion of privacy when interviewed for GQ by supermodel Naomi Campbell. In that same interview, though, Piers did seem to go easy on many of his colleagues saying that "loads of newspaper journalists were doing it" and that he believed the practice was not "as serious as planting a bug in someone's house, which is what some people think was going on." (Another highlight from that interview: Piers Morgan saying that his own phone had been hacked at the time by rival newspapers.)
Piers isn't the only one Hipwell is naming as a culprit: Sean Hoare, a former editor at the Mirror's sister paper The People before moving to NotW. (In the spirit of full disclosure, it must be mentioned that Hipwell was fired from the Mirror in 2000 for buying shares in a company that the paper's business column was preparing to boost.) Now it just remains to be seen what the parliamentary inquiry makes of Hipwell's allegations and whether they will call on a certain America-bound TV personality to make an appearance in Westminster's hallowed halls.

Microlensing observations toward M31 are a powerful tool for the study of the dark matter population in the form of MACHOs both in the Galaxy and the M31 halos, a still unresolved issue, as well as for the analysis of the characteristics of the M31 luminous populations. In this work, we present the second-year results of our pixel lensing campaign carried out toward M31 using the 152 cm Cassini telescope in Loiano. We have established an automatic pipeline for the detection and the characterization of microlensing variations. We have carried out a complete simulation of the experiment and evaluated the expected signal, including an analysis of the efficiency of our pipeline. As a result, we select 1-2 candidate microlensing events (according to different selection criteria). This output is in agreement with the expected rate of M31 self-lensing events. However, the statistics are still too low to draw definitive conclusions on MACHO lensing.

The 5th World Water Forum
Home to one of the world's oldest 'water' civilizations, Turkey this year is hosting the world's biggest ever meeting on water, the 5th World Water Forum, where the future of this essential element will be discussed 16-22 March.
The Istanbul district of Üsküdar flashes across the screen of TRT2, Turkish State Radio and TV's documentary channel, like a series of picture postcards. The simple black and white images recall friendly chats with friends and neighbors under rose bowers and in front of doorways. The smells and flavors of childhood.... roasted chestnuts, hard candy, linden tea, crusty village bread with walnuts, sesame oil mixed with molasses... The narrator is speaking now of Üsküdar's natural springs and fountains, whose waters, I learn, were famous in those days for their distinctive tastes. I'm actually jealous of the crystal-clear water that ran from those spigots... Just browse the pages of history and some story about water will burst out at you at every turn. The popular Istanbul district of Taksim, for example, whose name means 'division' or 'distribution'. What exactly was distributed here? Water, of course. This glorious square was once a major distribution center for the city's water. I appeal to all those in the tourism business. Please add the city's historic water infrastructure to your cultural tours. You will win the hearts of all culture and history buffs, because Anatolia has been a haven of hydro infrastructure since time immemorial.
Turkey's historic hydro infrastructure was first taken up at the 5th World Water Forum Izmir/Gümüldür Regional Meeting on 26-27 June of last year. The oldest example of this infrastructure is the Karakuyu Dam built by the Hittites in the 2nd millennium B.C., the most interesting the collecting of spring waters at Boğazkale and the Şamram Canal, an Urartu legacy. Every civilization that made its home in Anatolia left behind structures that contribute to these lands being remembered as a water paradise.
The Sumerians were the first people to regulate the use of water and maintain waterways in the 3rd millennium B.C.
According to journalist Turgay Türker's study, 'The Story of Water', the proceedings of the State Hydraulic Works (DSI) Conference on Water Infrastructure, and Prof. Dr. Özhan Uluatam's book, 'Drop by Drop: Middle east's Water Problem', vestiges of these historic springs can be found at Alacahöyük, Boğazköy and Beyşehir. Now on the World Cultural Heritage list, the spring waters of Hattuşaş were conveyed to the capital through clay pipes laid underground. The cisterns at Sarıkale, Büyükkale, and Karataş-Sameyük stored rain water, and the first sewage canal was unearthed at Yazılıkaya.
Known as 'the 2808-year-old queen', the 56-km-long Şamran Canal is named for Şamaran (Semiramis), wife of the Urartu King Menua. Built in the 8th century B.C., the canal today is part of an irrigation system that waters two thousand hectares.
Trading partners of the Greeks on the island of Crete, the Minoans laid two separate systems in which pipes were used to carry both fresh water and waste water under pressure as well as being the first people in the world to create syphons.
The Romans were the first to bring water from a great distance to Istanbul through multi-story aqueducts. The Emperor Hadrian had the aqueduct built that still bears his name today. Remains of baths are encountered at Miletus, at Ankara-Çankırıkapı and at Ephesus. The Romans' open aqueducts were the perennial target of their enemies.
The aqueducts built by the Emperor Constantine I stretched to Istanbul all the way from the İstranca Mountains of Thrace. The Emperor Valens had aqueducts built to distribute the waters of the Kağithane Stream (the once-famed Sweet Waters of Europe) throughout the city. Theodosius and Marcianus, too, had a large number of cisterns and aqueducts built around the city. Among them, the first large, covered cistern, Binbirdirek, whose name literally means 'a thousand columns', and the Yerebatan cistern are both impressive for their aesthetic qualities.
Arriving in Anatolia in the 10th century, the Seljuks built waterways and dams all over Anatolia, mainly in the Konya region, to support irrigated agriculture. They were also responsible for the construction of numerous stone bridges, monumental fountains, public drinking fountains and mosque pools with fountains.
Among the Ottomans, Mehmed the Conqueror had the Turunçlu, Fatih, Şadırvan and Mahmutpaşa waterways built. In the 16th century, the architect Mimar Sinan built a giant waterway by repairing one left earlier by the Romans. Water was brought in from the Belgrad Forest north of the city, and a total of 33 aqueducts, some of them on a massive scale, were constructed. The foundation of the Kırkçeşme Water Distribution Plant, which is still in use today, was also laid at this time. Ottoman Istanbul's water distribution system was divided into four parts: Halkalı, Kırkçeşme, Taksim and Hamidiye-Kayışdağı.
As the cradle of the great water civilizations, Turkey is now going to host the world's largest-ever meeting on the subject of water. Some twenty thousand participants, including 150 government ministers and fifteen heads of state are expected to attend the 5th World Water Forum, which will be held at the Feshane and the Sütlüce Conference Center on the Golden Horn. Backers of the giant meeting include the State Hydraulic Works (DSI), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Environment and Forestery, the World Water Council (WWC), the Istanbul Water and Sewage Administration (İSKİ) and the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB).
Six main themes and 23 subject headings covering all water-related topics will give shape to the forum, which will consist of a minimum 100 sessions. A 'Heads of State Summit' will be held for the first time to ensure participation of policy and decision-makers, and a joint communiqué will be issued following the Ministers' Conference. For the first time as well, an 'Istanbul Water Consensus', containing pledges on the subject of water to be signed by all world mayors, will be presented at the 5th Water Forum, where all those who share water will come together, including national governments, local administrations, the business world, organizations of civil society and academics as well as farmers, workers, women, children and young people. To ensure fair participation, registration fees and food and accommodation for 1000 participants from less developed countries will be covered by the forum organizers.
A 40,000-Euro, media-oriented "Turkish Republic Prime Minister's Water Prize" will also be awarded for the first time this year. Other awards include Japan's 'Kyoto Prize', Morocco's 'King Hassan II Prize' and Mexico's 'Compromiso Mexico'. A 'Global Water Education Village' is going to be set up with outreach to future generations through a 'Children's Forum' and 'Youth Forum'. An area of approximately ten thousand square meters will be made available for the fair and accompanying Water Exhibition. At the initiative of the Green Forum, Turkey is going to put its signature on its first major environmentally sensitive event by planting a sapling at Çatalca for every participant. Created using advanced web technology, the Virtual Meeting Space (http://portal.worldwaterforum5.org) will bring everyone together in one global water family.
Water is precious in Turkish culture. And the history and culture of water in Turkey are going to be further enriched by the 5th Water Forum. This is a last call. The doors of the water civilizations heaven are open to everyone. We await you, in the hopes of "Bridging Divides for Water" on 16-22 March 2009...

Pitas On The Run @ Westchase Food Truck Rally
I visited the Westchase Food Truck Rally a few weeks ago and had the chance to try a new food truck called Pitas On The Run. Pitas On The Run is a Mediterranean-style food truck that serves a variety of items including schwarma, falafel, homemade hummus, and other items. The owners are actually from D.C. and came down to Tampa to launch their food truck here. Prices for food on the truck vary from $4.00 to $9.00.
The owners have been friends and family since their youth and launched this concept to bring something new to the Tampa Bay area and to the food truck scene. The design on the truck is pretty neat and certainly grabbed my attention at the food truck rally. It was a hot summer day at the event so I decided that I would try their loaded pita chip nachos.
All the ingredients were incredibly fresh in both smell and taste and were refreshing in the heat. The pita chips are loaded with hummus, tabouli (a Lebanese Arabian salad), and Greek yogurt. The Greek yogurt is what made the nachos cool on that hot summer day and made it a complete package. The price for this item is fair at $6.00 for the quality you receive. It's also quite filling so make sure you share with some friends.
Overall I was pretty impressed with Pitas On The Run and look forward to trying more things on their menu in the future. The Falafel and Goat Cheese Stufffed Burger Wrap being the the top things I am looking at. Their Lebanese influence definitely diversifies them as a local food truck. If you haven't tried Pitas On The Run you can find their locations on their website, social media sites, and on Truckspotting.

Blame it on Rusty.
I do. He got the whole thing started. And then it spiraled out of control. That's what happens when you tap into a couple of awesome writers like Will Graham and Rusty Rhoad.
Rusty: I propose we co-author a vignette. Won't rise to the level of a short story; we'll quit when we get long enough no matter if we've gotten to "the point" or not."
Stella: That's right. He came up with an idea. I thought, sounds good, but told the guys that I wasn't sure I'd contribute—famous last words, as I added a paragraph that totally messed things up. In my typical and unconventional way.
So right off the bat, Will jumped in and started us off. I'll let Will tell his side. When it's all over, I'm adding the story they've come up with and let you enjoy!
William: Rusty named Charles Foster. Then . . . Freudian slip: Charles Foster triggered Kane as in CITIZEN KANE starring Orson Welles. We left it in.
"I feel as if we're descending into madness. But, what the hell…" Rusty used those exact words in an email about all this, which triggered the last two paragraphs.
Stella: And here it is. See if you can pick out Will's style and Rusty's style. Then see if you can find the paragraph I incorporated.
I hope these two talented guys finish this story, because I want to know more!
PS. This is what happens when you leave us without adult supervision, Melissa Ohnoutka!
A Man Walked Into A Bar
It was close to midnight when he walked into the bar.
There was no one else in the room but the bartender, a guy named Phil. He walked over and sat at the bar, pulling out a deck of smokes and a lighter. Placing them on the bar, he reached into a pocket and pulled out a crisp new fifty dollar bill. He put the money down and pushed it toward P. "When this runs out," he said, "let me know."
Phil nodded and set a rocks glass in front of the man. Pouring a more than generous double shot of scotch into the glass, Phil slid it over. He nodded his thanks and went to the jukebox. Phil hit a switch under the counter, allowing free selections. The man pushed some buttons —the same buttons repeatedly—and walked back. Downing the drink in one long swallow, the opening strains of Sinatra's "One for my Baby" began playing.
"Tough day?" Phil asked as he poured the same again.
"Had better, had worse," the man said.
Through a crack in the bathroom door, I watched the man sip his drink this time. Maybe I'd been lucky not to have been there when he walked in. I didn't know him well, although I'd heard a lot about him. Probably not all of it true, since it'd come from his wife. A sultry woman with full lips locked in a permanent pout. I suspected she was the 'baby' Sinatra was crooning about.
"Want to know the worst thing in the world?" he asked Phil.
"What's that?"
"Being in love with a woman you can never have." The man tossed another double back.
"Why not?"
"You mean why I can never have her?" the man asked. "It's . . . complicated."
What's complicated is being stuck in the bathroom while a guy cries in his beer over his wife. Well, maybe he was talking about his wife. Although from the stories she'd shared, it could have been any of a number of women. Maybe he was talking about his secretary. The cocktail waitress in the skin tight dresses at the Blue Coyote. The pony-tailed stranger at the park bench he struck up a conversation with over lunch. If Andrea was to be believed, he didn't strike out very often.
Except that believing a woman when she was bitching about her husband was pretty risky. I should know. I'd done it often enough. And it rarely turned out well.
People amuse me, they really do. I keep hoping one day, someone will surprise me, but at this point the only thing that genuinely surprises me at what people do to each other.
It's one of the main reasons I stayed professional about such things. Time had taught me a few lessons, and I like to think I learned from them.
It's not easy to remain professional when one of the women he's bellyaching about is the main source of my income. Without her—well, I don't want to think of what life would be without her. Those memories are still too fresh. Fresh. That word shouldn't even be brought up in the same sentence as that apartment next to the hellhole I called home before she entered my life. So, the question is, do I let him go on, grumbling, non-stop, over and over? What if he says something that I need? What I need is a drink. I'm tempted to walk away. Leave this mildew-stained, stale-cigarette-smoke reeking bathroom and head to the nearest bar for a stiff one. But I can't risk leaving. No, what if that's the moment that he lets the cat out of the bag, after all this time.
Hey, wait. This was a bar. A drink was thirteen steps away, give or take a step or two. My stride in high heels was pretty long. Come to think of it, my legs were pretty long, too. Besides, if things turned ugly, I had my little .380 equalizer tucked away . . . well, never mind where I keep it these days.
"Phil. I'll have whatever he's having. Pour me one of those."
Phil poured me a shot of the same scotch. I looked over at him. "Hi," I said. "How ya doing?"
He took his attention away from his glass long enough to look my way. "Hello," he said. "I'm good. You?"
"Not bad at all," I said as I lifted my glass in his direction.
"Good." He paused for a long moment. "Listen, I don't mean to be rude, but—"
"Let me guess," I interrupted him. "You just came in for a drink."
He nodded as he took another pull. "That covers it, yeah."
If that's how the evening turned out, I was good with it. It's not like I came here to spy on Angie's husband. But he was a target of opportunity, as the flyboys might say. I slid forward on the barstool so my skirt rode up, showing off a lot of leg. Freshened up my lipstick, checking out Mr. Cool in the mirror as I did so. Then I starting humming along with Old Blue Eyes. That was it. If none of those worked, well, I wasn't finding out anything more tonight than I already knew.
It didn't take long for me to realize the truth: this guy was as interested in me as I would be interested in a used fly-strip. Something had really gotten into him, and it looked like it would consume him alive.
As I sipped the mediocre Scotch and contemplated whether to call Andrea and see if she was awake or just go home, a siren growled outside in the night. A minute later, a couple of cops walked into the bar. The tall, beefy one dropped his hand to the butt of his revolver and moved a couple of steps to the side while the slight one with the eyes that looked right through you slipped up next to the stranger. I noted that his hand was close to his pistol as well, and the strap was unsnapped.
"You Charles Foster?"
"Yes," he said.
"Turn around, very slowly," the taller cop said. "Keep your hands where I can see them."
"You want to tell me what this is all about?" Kane asked as he did as instructed.
"You wife was murdered tonight. She called 911 and said she was afraid for her life and to please get someone over there right away. When the cops got there, she'd been gut shot and left to bleed to death."
"Well, I sure as hell didn't kill her. Why would I do that? Where's the motive? I'm not even Andrea's beneficiary. She is." Charles Foster or Kane or whatever his name is pointed at me.
"I feel as if we're descending into madness," the younger cop said. "But, what the hell . . ."
My eyes clouded, and I could not stop myself from saying the words any more than I could stop breathing. "C'thulu flagon!" I cried at the top of my lungs. "Yog-Sattoth!"

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Joyce Giraud may have been offended by comments that Brandi Glanville made during the show, but it sounds like she just wanted to move on. And now, she is learning that perhaps she just needs to give it a rest. According to a new Bravo report published on Jan. 13, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Joyce Giraud is now revealing that Brandi is a hypocrite because she wanted to make up, but then slams her behind her back.
"After our conversation, the moment she apologized I really thought we could have a clean slate and move forward. I truly believe in forgiveness and know it is a very liberating way to live life, but sadly it seems I was fooled by Brandi. Her true colors came out," Joyce reveals. Of course, the two hugged while filming, but Brandi revealed her true feelings in a confessional interview.
"I was shocked to see that after I hugged her and she hugged me back, she goes on to say in her confessional: "Don't touch me. Ewww, don't come near me." On top of it, she then says we can agree to disagree," she reveals, adding, "this is her character: a true hypocrite. I never want to hear anyone talk about how "honest" Brandi is because she has proven to be the TOTAL OPPOSITE!"
It sounds like these women will be discussing these issues on the reunion show, since Joyce was completely shocked. Do you understand her situation?

Goodwood House
The Treasures of Goodwood: the best of England, Scotland and France. The Dukes of Richmond are the proud possessors of one of the finest and most representative of English art collections. Since the recent four year restoration by the Earl of March, son and heir to the present Duke, the walls are fully hung with both British and European paintings, and the rooms furnished with French and English furniture of the finest quality. The importance of the art collection of the Dukes of Richmond is further represented in the fact that Goodwood is one of a few great private houses to employ a full time curator. We welcome to the house visitors with a huge range of historical, artistic, and domestic interests, be it in kings and queens, marine paintings, women's lives, the Regency style, the Edwardian period, sporting art, landscape, the history of horseracing and the history of cricket. We hope to encourage your interests and to develop your enthusiasms.
Venue Type:
Goodwood House is open most Sundays and Mondays from 22 March to 12 October. Open daily in August except Fridays and Saturdays. The opening times are 1-5pm, with the last admission at 4pm.
The House is closed to the public as a result of special events on the following dates: 3, 24 May; 28, 29 June; 5, 6 July; 20 September. Occasionally, the Trustees have to add extra dates for closures, so if you are travelling from a distance, always check with Recorded Information on +44 (0)1243 755040 before your visit.
Admission charges:
Adults £9.00
OAPs £7.50
Young People (12-18) & Students with a valid NUS card £4.00

Additional info
The House, tearoom and shop are fully accessible for wheel- chair users. Ramp access is available at the Front Entrance.
All rooms open to the public are situated on the ground floor and there are no stairs to negotiate.
An accessible lavatory is available in the State Rooms.
Information sheets are available in every room to provide details on works of art where labels are inaccessible to wheelchair users.
Disabled visitors driving themselves are welcome to park their vehicles on either side of the turning circle at the front of the House; alternatively, if they are not driving they may be dropped off and then collected at the Front Door. A manual wheel-chair is available for hire at no charge, but should be booked in advance.
This is a classic English collection, further invigorated by acquisitions from France and Scotland. Louise de Keroualle, the beautiful and aristocratic French mistress of King Charles II, had accumulated royal and family portraits, which her grandson the 2nd Duke complemented with Grand Tour purchases, culminating in the first English commissions given to Canaletto. He was also very involved in the new Palladian movement, building the breathtaking pavilion and Shell House, and commissioning fireplaces and chairs by William Kent, originally for Richmond House but now at Goodwood. The 3rd Duke not only added another layer of superb portraits, but also from his time as Ambassador to Paris, Gobelins tapestries and furniture by the greatest French 18th century cabinet makers; he commissioned a Sèvres dinner service, now shown in the delightful circular Card Room, while his racehorses were painted by George Stubbs. The 3rd Duke was the builder of the great Regency State Apartments, including the Egyptian Dining Room. These rooms were designed for entertaining and to this day are used for parties. Through marriage the Dukes of Richmond inherited the Gordon estates in Scotland and, in 1876, the 6th Duke of Richmond was created Duke of Gordon. Scottish items are on show in the Supper Room.

Sweet. That is how I'd describe this camera. I am not sure if it is me getting used to their "Best Shot" system or what, but dialing this camera in for use seems super simple. Really, my only complaint is with extreme close up focusing (I love artsy pics) since I was unable to get anything but a blur.
Small, inexpensive at $179 in fashion colors. It is a winner in my book.

A Quote by Olive Emilie Scheider on men, men and women, sexes, and women
I object to anything that divides the two sexes. My main point is this: human development has now reached a point at which sexual difference has become a thing of altogether minor importance. We make too much of it; we are men and women in the second place, human beings in the first.

We've only recently started using Tomcat (6.x) as our Java servlet container for various production web applications. We're not using particularly advanced functionality, and generally Tomcat config for each app is extremely simple. It seems to me that installing multiple Tomcat instances (which I understand is extra easy to do as a Windows service with Tomcat 7) would not much increase maintenance effort, while allowing each of our apps to be completely isolated from the others, and e.g. not be affected by a service restart following a server config change designed to help only one of the apps. High performance is not crucial in the case.
Is it as simple as that, or are there good reasons why one might want to share instances between several apps? Bonus question: is there an obvious way I'm missing to re-read server config without bouncing the Tomcat service?

Wow… I'm back here at Amnesia after a fun, busy few days. This weekend, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to [location withheld] and visit six of the growrooms that comprise Barney's Farm. The two guys entrusted with this crucial job of breeding and maintaining Barney's and Amnesia's entire genetic stock are known as Genesis and Jeepster.
The gardens were scattered across a few different cities and contained several strains in various stages of development. This included rooms of males, mothers, clones and flowering females bursting with seeds and ready to put forth their bounty. Genesis demonstrated his seed harvesting methods and gave me a chance to get my hands sticky and harvest a batch of K9 seeds. I also learned how to trim and pollinate, saw some beautiful views along the coast and ate some unique local cuisine -- including squid, rabbit, octopus and an entire bowl full of snails. Trust me -- it tastes way better than it sounds.
As crazy as this may sound, it felt kind of weird for me to be touring growrooms, taking notes and shooting video. I'm no botanist -- I had a little cactus once as a kid and I managed to kill it in a matter of weeks. Normally, I'm more than happy to leave cultivation to the experts like Nico and Danko. But I've been at HIGH TIMES for 15 years, so I figure it's high time for my first grow story. And I can't think of a better place to begin than Barney's Farm.
But now I'm back in the Dam, burning some Top Dawg with Nico and getting ready for my busiest day yet tomorrow: I'm doing a photo shoot at 9am, then all afternoon I'll be tackling one of the riskiest aspects of the coffeeshop business. That's all I can say for now… check back later for more details.

|I onsighted this climb, so perhaps I missed some otherwise obvious placements, but I took the scramble up from the right start variation, and found my first piece being a .4 inch cam that I was placing blindly as I leaned left out over a 20 foot drop with my right hand crimping a tiny hold. The climb was super quality though. Really fun flake and features higher up.

In recent years the lifecourse perspective has become a popular theoretical orientation toward crime. Yet despite its growing importance in the field of criminology, most textbooks give it only cursory treatment. Crime and the Lifecourse: An Introductionby Michael L. Benson provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary research and theory on the life-course approach to crime. The book emphasizes a conceptual understanding of this approach. A special feature is the integration of qualitative and quantitative research on criminal life histories. This book: provides an overview of the life course approach and describes the major concepts and issues in lifecourse theory as it applies to criminology reviews evidence on biological and genetic influences on crime reviews research on the role of the family in crime and juvenile delinquency provides a detailed discussion of the criminological lifecourse theories of Moffitt, Hagan, Sampson and Laub, and others discusses the connections between youthful crime and adult outcomes in education, occupation, and marriage presents an application of the lifecourse approach to white-collar crime discusses how macro sociological and historical developments have influenced the shape of the lifecourse in American society as it relates to patterns in crime.

Awarded Cooperative Agreement to Prevent Violence and Violence-Related Injury
Raices Nuevas: Intimate Partner Violence Prevention for Latino Men
FOA Number: CE05-017 - Intervention and Evaluation Trials to Prevent Intimate Partner Violence
Project Period: 9/01/05-8/31/09
Application/Grant Number: 1-U49-CE000508-01
Principal Investigator: J. Ricardo Guzman, MSW, MPH
Communtiy Health and Social Services Center
5635 West Fort Street
Detroit, MI 48209
Email: email@example.com
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health priority. Traditional responses to IPV have centered on screening, treatment, and rehabilitation. While important, there has not been equal focus on IPV prevention, especially among men. This study will bridge the gap by testing the efficacy of a culturally-tailored and theory-driven primary IPV prevention intervention with Spanish-speaking Latino men.
Investigators will examine whether IPV prevention is associated with increased intentions to abstain from IPV and decreased self-reported use of violence against intimate partners at 3 and 6 months as compared with the control group; whether the effects of the intervention are moderated by individual, microsystem, and macrosystem variables; and will identify theory-based variables that mediate effects of the IPV prevention intervention on self-reported behavior of IPV against intimate partners. In a randomized controlled trial, Spanish-speaking Latino men will be recruited from community church settings and randomly assigned to: (a) an IPV prevention intervention, or (b) a wait-list control condition. Those assigned to the intervention will receive, in a small group setting, an eight-session, primary IPV prevention based on the Duluth model and tailored for Spanish-speaking, Latino men. The results of this study will increase the knowledge base of (intimate) partner violence through empirical testing of the efficacy of a culturally-tailored primary IPV prevention intervention among at-risk and under-served Latino men.

Adobe releases Flash 10.1 player to mobile partners. Waiting for Godot is almost over
Waiting for a full Flash experience for a smartphone in your pocket, was like waiting for Godot these last few years.
We "knew" it should vastly improve browsing experience on our handset, we "knew" that it's coming real soon now, and we were talking endlessly how great it will be, when we will have full Flash player working on our mobile.
And we've been patiently waiting for full Flash on Mobile to arrive for years now.
Today we can rejoice. Adobe says that the wait is almost over and they are releasing their Flash Player 10.1 to mobile platform partners. The platforms getting the Flash Player include: Android, Blackberry, webOS, and future versions of Windows Phone, LiMO, Meego and Symbian.
So, for now, you can't just download flash plugin on your mobile handset, and start accessing flash sites and videos, like you do it on your PC. Your handset vendor/operator will have to update the current firmware first, and send it to your phone. And that might still take a good while.
Adobe promises Flash 10.1 upgrades on Dell Streak, Google Nexus One, HTC Evo, HTC Desire, HTC Incredible, DROID by Motorola, Motorola Milestone, Samsung Galaxy S – the high end Android handsets. To stay competitive, other vendors will have to follow suit soon, too.
The best news here are that Adobe was finally able to finish the darn thing, so the new handsets, at least at high end, will come with Flash Player 10.1 pre-installed starting this fall.

Once labeled the hot spot for nightlife and shopping, the West Midlands town of Wolverhampton has seen a rapid decline over the last decade, transforming a once bustling, popular hub into a semi-derelict eyesore that people are fast steering clear of.
Shops that were once British traditions have closed their doors for the last time, leaving empty premises, broken windows, and boarded up doors. Woolworths, Evans, T J Hughes - just three examples of highly popular stores closing down in place of fly-by-night bargain shops and mobile phone accessory stalls.
The beauty of Wolverhampton was that it was once a huge (but close-knit) community of shops, restaurants, pubs and nightclubs, all located within the center of the town, and accessible by various means of public transport. Now, however, having spent millions of pounds revamping the main bus station on Pipers Row, it is a modern day monolith devoid of the crowds Wolverhampton council had clearly hoped it would bring, as more and more people avoid the city center. Ludicrously, bus fares and car parking tariffs continue to increase past what most would argue was a 'reasonable' tariff.
Wolverhampton council seems to have their priorities wrong in the way they spend their annual budget, making the most of the town's relatively new city status, and increasing the price of commercial rent; the cost to lease/rent a small (17000 sq ft) store in the town center is around £8000 per month. Still trying to crawl back from the recession, businesses are unable to afford the sky rocketing rates, thus leaving empty buildings scattered about town, and a certain air of abandonment.
The millions spent on the a aforementioned bus station would perhaps have been better used on revamping the many empty, and derelict buildings leading into the town from Chapel Ash, or offering a better incentive to the public, such as free parking.
Another option to increase trade would be to get rid of the outdoor market altogether, and instead, do what towns like Bridgnorth, and Ludlow do, and allocate two or three days per week where market stalls occupy Dudley Street and Queens Square. Raising the cost of public transport, as well as changing the bus numbers and routes would have perhaps been better received by the general public if the city they're traveling into is worthy of the cost to get there!
Wolverhampton council needs to re-think their ideas about what would make the city more attractive to tourists and locals alike, and bring back the fantastic town it was not all that long ago. With the help of the public remaining loyal to their hometown, and the council working together with businesses to occupy the many empty spaces, 'Wolves' could quickly return to its former great self.
With so much history, tradition, and nostalgia, along with beautiful architecture still standing, Wolverhampton is proof that modernization is not all that it's cracked up to be, and certainly isn't appreciated by those of us who call the town home.

We're so loving the Jimmy Choo PEP Cuff ($245)! Not only is this cuff bracelet fabulous in its punk rock motif, but it also gives back to an amazing cause. Jimmy Choo and the Elton John AIDS Foundation have partnered to launch Project PEP. Jimmy's collection of splashy, printed accessories are being sold to benefit the Simelela Rape Center in Cape Town, South Africa. For those of you who don't know, PEP stands for post-exposure prophylaxis, which is an HIV preventative treatment. A whopping twenty-five percent of net sales from this collection will be donated to Simelela Center. PEP products are scheduled to arrive in stores early November, but if you're like us and simply can't wait...you can add your name to their waiting list while you eagerly await their arrival.

The Mercurial Mindset - Food for Thought
By kto on Apr 17, 2007
The Mercurial Mindset
So I'm sitting in my office at home and I hear this noise in our Ornamental Pear tree outside. It's not a Mercurial user, just a squirrel, eating fruit from a fruitless tree. Why a fruitless tree is bearing fruit is beyond me, but the squirrel likes it. Hopefully the new Mercurial users will be as happy as Rocky here. ;\^)
I've been deep into the technical and developer concerns around Mercurial conversion issues for a few months now. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, most of the time anyway. ;\^) So consider this a perspective from deep in the trenches.
One brave documentation team inside Sun has actually stepped up and done the conversion from Teamware to Mercurial, and although these are not software developers, and Mercurial isn't managing Java or C source files, the experience is interesting. Some of the problems they ran into:
Using NFS, file/directory ownership and permissions for the groups was a
The standard Unix rules on user/group permissions seem to be a problem for teams that have members that belong to different Unix groups. Now you might think this is obvious, but it's often not. Teams using Mercurial with NFS or local file systems need to make sure that they have their umask and groups setup right for standard Unix file sharing.
As far as I can tell Mercurial is obeying the umask/group rules and doing the right thing, but Teamware appeared to have the avoided this issue by making sure all directories created with a 'putback' (e.g. 'hg push') had wide-open permissions (read-write for everyone), and then I assume it re-creates files as needed in those directories. In any case, Teamware did not seem to care that multiple team members didn't share the same groups, or it did this on purpose.
Multiple Heads (by accident?)
Mercurial allows for multiple branches of development, but in general I don't think this is a good idea for anyone starting out. In many cases repositories would end up with multiple heads, which is normal after an 'hg pull' that has a conflict. But the state was very confusing for new users. Doing an 'hg push' will fail telling you to 'hg update', and it would tell you to 'hg merge' and it would tell you to 'hg commit'. Well, in fact, you do need to 'hg update', 'hg merge', and 'hg commit', but the error messages didn't seem to help explain what was happening.
One confusing item in particular was the fact that even if the merge was empty, you still need to follow the 'hg merge' with an 'hg commit'. Quiting the editor when the file says "no changes", will often terminate the commit and leave you in the same state. Once the pattern is understood, they could conform, but it was considered 'odd' to be committing what appeared to be nothing.
Repeated 'hg pull' actions after this state just created more and more heads or unmerged changesets, which made it even more confusing. Once the pattern of 'hg pull && hg update && hg merge && hg commit' was established, things went much smoother.
The basic steps.
The basic steps of doing a change and pushing the change were not obvious to some people.
With Teamware you would:
bringover -p /nfs-path/parent-workspace -w /path/workspace . cd /path/workspace (cd some_dir && sccs edit files && vi/emacs files && sccs delget filename) bringover -p /nfs-path/parent-workspace . resolve putback . -OR putback some_directory/filename
The Teamware bringover and putback is a per-file operation, with the default operation being the entire workspace, but the "I'm putting back files" attitude seems to be rather burned into the soul or something. When a resolve happens, it's on a per-file basis, and you each file is resolved separately.
With Mercurial you would:
hg clone /nfs-http-ssh-path/parent-repository /path/repository cd /path/repository vi/emacs any files you want hg commit hg pull && hg update hg merge && hg commit hg push
The merge could be unnecessary, but if 'hg heads' lists more than one head, you need to 'hg merge && hg commit' to lop it off. (The 'hg commit' creates the changeset).
With Mercurial you push and pull changesets, not files. Although you can create a changeset for one file change, you still don't push files. And if changeset A was created after changeset B, you can't skip B, you'd need to push both, even if these two changesets change completely unrelated files.
No partial workspaces.
I've come to the conclusion that this is a good thing. Over the years I have been amazed at the times two supposedly unrelated file changes can cause a build failure or a runtime failure. Allowing partial workspaces or partial pushes is a risk to anyone that pulls these changes into their own repository. The integrity of the repository should be a top priority, and you can only guarantee that when you operate on the entire repository.
Maybe after we get more experience with the merge issues I'll change my mind.
Merge issues.
I've gotten myself into a merge nightmare a few times, tried kdiff3 on the Mac but it didn't seem to work for me, or I need to RTFM. Simple merges were fine, but the nasty ones where the same lines were changed were challenging for me, and for others too. The Teamware filemerge tool ('f' command during a resolve) was quite nice, and I'm beginning to miss it. Hooking filemerge into Mercurial is possible but on a file by file basis, and when you get those 100 files to merge, that may be awkward. But it's only a matter of time before I find a good merge tool and configuration.
Hope this helps someone. I'll try and talk about the poor CVS or Subversion mindset problems with Mercurial next time, although I'm not an experienced CVS or Subversion expert, I can address the benefits of a DSCM or Distributed Source Code Management system like Mercurial.

Stanford, Calif. -
Stanford Lacrosse This Week:
Sat, Apr. 12- Stanford at Vermont (6-5), 9:00 a.m. PST
University of Albany, Albany, NY.
Sun, Apr. 13- Stanford at Cornell (5-4), 9:00 a.m. PST
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.
This Week:
Stanford women's lacrosse hits the road once again for the first two of four straight road matches to end the regular season. The Cardinal will take on the Vermont Catamounts and Cornel Big Red as they travel to New York for both games. The Vermont match will take place at the University of Albany on Saturday, Apr. 12 at 9:00 a.m. PST. The team will head to Ithaca the next day to take on Cornell at 9:00 a.m as well. Both opponents this weekend come into the matches with records over .500.
On the Horizon:
The Cardinal will continue their road trip next weekend as well when they head to MPSF rival Denver on Saturday, Apr. 20. The game is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m. PST. Denver was the MPSF regular season champion, but the Cardinal knocked them off in the 2007 MPSF Tournament Championship game.
This Season:
The Cardinal kicked off the 2008 season with a 14-6 victory over LeMoyne, a 2007 NCAA Tournament participant. The Cardinal only lead 4-3 at halftime, but scored 10 goals in the second half to break open a close game and coast to the eight-goal victory. The Cardinal then hosted Oregon, an MPSF rival who finished second in conference last season, and came away with an 8-7 victory. The Cardinal continued their strong play when they recorded a 13-7 victory over UC Davis on Wednesday night. Stanford played their first road contest of the season in Dallas against Duke, and was unable to upend the Devils, falling 16-9. After returning back to California, Stanford was unable to defeat the Golden Bears in Berkeley, Calif. by the score of 11-9. The Cardinal returned home the following weekend and upset the No. 10 ranked Notre Dame Irish by the score of 13-9. Stanford then continued their impressive run with two more wins against east coast schools. The Cardinal defeated Boston College 14-10 and then knocked off No. 6 Penn by the score of 10-8. Stanford has since dropped their last three contests to No. 3 Maryland, William & Mary and James Madison. The Cardinal followed this up with a 1-1 weekend against St. Mary's and Boston University. This leaves Stanford with a 7-6 record and a 3-1 mark in MPSF competition.
Shane Among Nation's Leaders:
Senior Laura Shane is well on her way to another All-American season as she is second nationally in saves with 153, only behind Kari Morrison of Virginia Tech who has 171 saves. Shane is also second nationally with a .554 save percentage. Shane has recorded 17 saves four times this year, most recently in a loss to No. 3 Maryland. The two-time All-American has allowed just 9.69 goals per game and has played 761 minutes out of 780 in goal for the Cardinal on the year
McClain Having Another Big Season:
Senior Megan McClain scored two goals against James Madison and is currently second on the team with 22 goals. McClain now has 65 career goals and is four goals away from becoming one of the top 10 goal scorers in Stanford women's lacrosse history.
Lindsay Showing Consistency:
Sophomore Dana Lindsay continues to be one of the most consistent scorers in 2008, as she is third on the team in goals with 20 on the season. She also has five assists on the year, and is second in points on the team with 25. Lindsay scored in each game last weekend as she scored a goal against William & Mary and two goals against James Madison.
Layden Coming Out Party:
Freshman Emily Layden had a breakout game against St. Mary's, as she scored four goals in Stanford's 20-3 win over the Gaels. Layden also had two assists on the evening for a six point match. She also started the first game of her Cardinal career.
Shane on Tewaarton Watch List:
The Women's Selection Committee has named their preseason "watch list" and Stanford goalkeeper Laura Shane is one of the 50 players named. The players on this list were nominated by coaches across all three divisions and are early season hopefuls for the 2008 Tewaaraton Trophy sponsored by Warrior.
Third MPSF Player of the Week for Shane......:
Senior Laura Shane earned her third MPSF Player Of the Week for the week of Mar. 17-Mar. 24 after her strong game against No. 10 Notre Dame. Shane was previously named MPSF Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 4- Feb. 10 for her 14 saves in Stanford's 8-7 victory over Oregon.
....And for Patterson:
Senior attack Daphne Patterson also earned her second MPSF Player of the Week for the week of Mar. 3-Mar. 9 after scoring three goals against Boston College and No. 6 Penn. Patterson also won the MPSF Player of the Week award during the first week of the season when the Cardinal defeated LeMoyne 14-6.
No Adjustment for K. Nesbitt:
Freshman Karen Nesbitt has adjusted to college lacrosse very nicely as she has scored eight goals and three assists on the season. Nesbitt, a native of Cincinnati, OH, had her best game of the season against Duke by finding the net twice and adding an assist against the third-ranked team in the country. She also scored another goal at California.
Schwab Nets Four Goals:
Sophomore Amanda Schwab had a big game against St. Mary's last weekend, coming through with four goals and an assist in the 20-3 victory. Schwab played in seven games off the bench as a freshman and scored six goals in her playing time. So far this season she has played in 11 games and has scored seven goals and added two assists as a sophomore.
If You Give......:
Sophomore Claire Hubbard has gotten everyone involved this season and is leading the team with 11 assists on the year. Hubbard had two assists all of last season.
....Then You Shall Receive:
Hubbard also added to her scoring by finding the net against James Madison and William & Mary. Hubbard now third on the team in points with 20, scoring nine goals and adding 11 assists. She has also started every game this season.
Into the Record Books:
Senior Daphne Patterson got her 2008 season started off quickly by scoring six goals in the victory over LeMoyne. Five of those goals were scored in the second half and her six goals for the game tied the school-record for goals in a game. Patterson also scored six goals last weekend against William & Mary and James Madison. Patterson is coming off of a 33-goal junior season and will lead the attack for the Cardinal in 2008, she has 29 goals on the season. With her goal against Boston University, Patterson also tallied the 150th point of her Stanford career.
Strong Senior Class:
The Cardinal is led by a strong senior class that returns the team's leading scorer last season in Daphne Patterson and IWLCA All-American goalkeeper Laura Shane. Patterson, an All-MPSF selection, finished with 33 goals last season and Shane recorded 190 saves last season, to go along with a .534 save percentage. The Cardinal also returns sophomore midfielder Lauren Schmidt, who was another All-MPSF selection in 2007 after scoring 25 goals in her rookie season. Third leading scorer, Megan McClain, also returns to the team after her 24-goal junior campaign.

The April 2009 issue featured our first focus on military education and training. This month we return to that subject with an expanded, more in-depth package of articles. At first glance readers might think they've opened a copy of Parameters when they see all of the Army bylines. But don't be fooled: the subjects these authors are tackling affect all of the services. Retired Army Major General Robert H. Scales, a leading authority on professional military education, cautions that we might be following the path of the British Army in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This was a force that, the general explains, was "too busy to learn" and paid for it in blood under German guns in 1914. Today, our armed forces, like the British a century ago, value active service over academic achievement. Finding the right balance between operational experience and intellectual pursuits has long been a challenge for the military, one made even more complicated by the demands of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While all the services wrestle with how much schooling their officers should receive and when in their careers it should occur, the Navy seems to have the most trouble with this issue. Naval War College professor Milan Vego writes openly what many naval officers have told me privately over the years: the Navy discourages those on the fast track to flag rank from attending the war colleges. This is not in any way to denigrate those who are sent to Newport, but Dr. Vego firmly believes that all those on the path to flag officer should be required to attend the Naval War College to, as he says, "enhance mental agility, creativity, and innovative thinking."
We welcome back an old friend in this issue. Retired Commander George Capen, a past frequent contributor to Proceedings , straps on his strategy cap with another retired naval officer, Commander Bryan Clark, to read the tea leaves in advance of the upcoming and much-anticipated Quadrennial Defense Review. Capen and Clark lay out a wish list of issues they think the document should address against a tight budgetary backdrop and in light of other global concerns. The picture they paint should make a provocative springboard for discussions slated for the 2-4 February 2010 Naval Institute- and AFCEA-sponsored West conference in San Diego. The theme this year: "Smart Power: Does the QDR Get It Right?"
Those who have been with USNI a long time are no doubt aware of the many changes that have taken place at both the Institute and with Proceedings over the past few years. One you may or may not have noticed is that we sometimes feature articles written by members of our Editorial Board. We encourage our Board members to be active advisers and reach out to prospective authors, but also to write for us when they have something important to say, especially if they are eminently qualified to say it. When they do, however, they do so as private citizens, the same as anyone else contributing to the open forum. The views espoused in their articles do not represent those of the magazine or the Naval Institute, and there should be no confusion in that regard. In fact, let me remind one and all that the Naval Institute and Proceedings have no editorial position save to foster debate and discussion on all matters of interest to the Sea Services and the greater national defense community.
