The booster inserted the ATV into a 260 km circular low Earth orbit inclined to 51.6°. From this orbit the ATV used its own propulsion system to automatically rendezvous and dock with the International Space Station.
The first two stages (EAP solid rocket boosters and EPC Vulcain 2-powered cryogenic main stage) were essentially the same as the Ariane 5 ECA. The difference was in the upper stage, composed of a new reinforced vehicle equipment bay (VEB) to withstand flight loads with the ATV and a restartable storable propulsion stage (EPS). The first EPS burn took place immediately following the separation of the EPC. After EPS engine cut-off and the VEB-EPS-ATV stack coasted for 45 minutes to an apogee of 260 km, at which time a second EPS burn placed the stack in a circular orbit. The ATV then separated and used its own engines to head for the ISS. Meanwhile the EPS made a third burn to place the nearly empty VEB-EPS on course for a destructive re-entry into the earth's atmosphere over the ocean.
Status: Active.
Gross mass: 760,000 kg (1,670,000 lb).
Payload: 21,000 kg (46,000 lb).
Height: 53.00 m (173.00 ft).
Diameter: 5.40 m (17.70 ft).
Thrust: 15,360.00 kN (3,453,060 lbf).
First Launch: 2008.03.09.
Last Launch: 2011.02.16.
Number: 2 .
The EPS stage made its first burn and placed the stack into a 137 km x 260 km orbit at 04:20 GMT. The EPS restarted at 05:05, burned for 30-seconds, and released the ATV into a 254 km x 272 km orbit.
Following extensive checkouts and maneuvering near the ISS, ATV Jules Verne docked at the aft end of ISS Zvezda module at 14:52 GMT on 3 April. While docked to the station, it was used several times to boost the station's orbit and to shift it in debris avoidance maneuvers. The ATV undocked from the ISS on 5 September and used a fuel-conserving 23 days to position itself for a safe re-entry over the South Pacific. Final destructive re-entry began at 13:30 GMT on 29 September.

I'm a proud pink hater, but something has happened this morning. I perused Dallas designer Nha Khanh's spring 2013 RTW collection and fell for two looks. Hard. In pink. What is happening?
Look at that gorgeous dress with a ladylike cinched waist, pretty tulle, and edgy cutouts to combat a conservative sleeve. Swoon. And those shorts. Those beautifully tailored, high-waisted shorts. I'm in love. Perhaps it is a new year.

Kilauea's past doesn't lie
It is natural for most people, including scientists, to think the aim of a volcano observatory is to observe and measure ongoing activity, catalog observations and monitoring data and try to anticipate what might happen next on the basis of that information. Such tasks are indeed what most of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory's scientists do most of the time. The societal benefits of using today's observations to forecast tomorrow's events are obvious. Moreover, repeated measurements of similar events provide tests of models developed to explain the observations.
But what about next year's volcanic activity, or next decade's, or next century's? On these longer-term time scales, today's observations become less useful. To anticipate what might happen a long time in the future, scientists must look at a longer record of past events to get a better understanding of what the volcano is capable of doing. What is happening at present is only a small sampling of what has happened in the past. The "present" is a few days to a few years, but the past is so much longer (more than 200,000 years for Kilauea) that many different kinds of volcanic activity have been able to take place. Indeed, as one wag puts it, we must use the heretofore rather than the here and now to best judge the hereafter.
That is why a small portion of HVO's effort is designed to understand the past centuries of volcanic activity at Hawaii's active volcanoes. This approach is not very expensive and is under the radar much of the time. At meetings of earth scientists, such as the 22,400 who attended last week's American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, most of the volcanology sessions focus on current measurements and generally minimize the broader-scale problems on a centuries and millennia time scale. Nonetheless, volcanologists acknowledge the need to understand the past in order to anticipate the full range of events that might occur in the future.
Two examples of recently recognized past activity at Kilauea provide guides for the future. The first is that explosive activity has been common in the past and therefore will almost certainly occur in the future. Current understanding of Kilauea's past explosive eruptions leads to the realization that impacts won't be confined to only the summit of the volcano — though that is where most of the danger will be. The larger eruptions will send ash to heights where air traffic would be affected. With the island — and indeed the state — heavily dependent on air transportation, the possibility of disruptions caused by repeated explosive activity takes on considerable importance.
The other example is the realization, reached only in the past 18 months, that periods of dominantly explosive activity have lasted for long times in the past — 300 years for the most recent periods, and 1,200 years for the period before that. Should such long periods recur — and there is no reason to think that they won't — imagine the potential impacts on local society. Island residents put up with 300 years of explosive activity between 1500 and 1800, but our infrastructure is far more diverse now, and, during the next explosive century, society will face more challenges than did precontact people.
Current day-by-day monitoring provides no clues regarding these long-term issues. That is why it is always important to integrate geologic studies with monitoring in order to provide the broadest range of possibilities regarding future decades. Among volcano observatories, HVO is one of the world's leaders in recognizing the importance of the past as a guide to the future and in integrating the vastly different time scales of the present and the past in order to provide a well-grounded anticipation of the future.
It is always necessary to conclude an article such as this by reassuring readers that we foresee no important changes in volcanic activity in the near future. We do, however, want to remind readers that, at some currently unknown time in the future (years, decades, centuries?), major changes will occur at Kilauea. The past doesn't lie. It is discounted, ostrichlike, only with peril.
Kilauea activity update
A lava lake within the Halemaumau Overlook vent produced nighttime glow visible from the Jaggar Museum overlook and via HVO's webcam during the past week. The lava level was relatively steady over the past week, experiencing only small fluctuations.
On Kiauea's east rift zone, surface lava flows are still active on the coastal plain and entering the ocean near Kupapau. The ocean entry and the majority of active flows are east of the eastern boundary of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, though a small area of flows was active within the park boundary. Within the Puu Oo crater, the northeastern pit still holds a small lava lake, and glow emanates from other points on the northwestern and southeastern parts of the crater floor. Over the past week several small lava flows erupted onto the crater floor.
Two earthquakes were reported felt recently. On Dec. 7, at 3:55 p.m., a magnitude-3.3 earthquake occurred five miles west of Kailua-Kona at a depth of nine miles. On Wednesday at 8:17 p.m., a magnitude-2.7 earthquake occurred 45 miles southwest of Makena, Maui, at a depth of three miles.
January is Volcano Awareness Month on Hawaii Island, and the public is invited to attend programs about Hawaiian volcanoes that will be presented around the island. Visit the HVO website at hvo.wr.usgs.gov for Volcano Awareness Month details and Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai activity updates, recent volcano photos, recent earthquakes and more; call 967-8862 for a Kilauea summary; email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 14 November 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18401114-TC-MAC-01; CL 12: 323-325
Chelsea, 14 Novr, 1840—
My dear Mother,
You have got nothing from me of late but mere offputs of Letters: I ought to write you Letters; I can do nothing else for you! Today I call myself as usual extremely busy; but is there any likelihood that I shall be less busy soon? I will send you a line today, were I twice as busy: I privately determined upon it last night, while I smoked my last pipe! I smoke this pipe, sitting on the floor (usually) with my side to one of the jambs, by the embers of the dining-room fire, when all has gone to sleep around me; and things far off and dear to me, and Scotsbrig always among the number, come masquerading thro' my head and heart.1
Yesterday was the fiercest day of wind and rain I ever saw here (Friday); indeed almost or altogether as fierce a day as I ever saw anywhere. We never stirred out of doors at all. The rain beat harmless against the windows; only set us thinking, what are they doing with such a Southwester against the gable at Scotsbrig yonder? What is all the world doing; on wild mountains, on roaring seas? I fear much mischief has been done. Nobody came to us, nor have we yet seen anybody. Today is bright as diamonds, all clear and dry even under foot; the streets here are all as of sand, and drink in any quantity of moisture, especially if the wind favour. We are all as if new-washed.— Jack has not written again since he got to Linton; he was writing to you, he said, while last writing to me there:2 I fancy you would like as well yesterday that he was not steaming or sailing, but sitting as we could conceive by the side of a warm fire! I wrote to him directly after getting his Letter; and expect most probably to hear from him in the beginning of the week. He had no more travelling to execute that would be of any difficulty.
Our Meal-barrel is now expected daily, or almost daily. Alick's Letter gave us a sketch of the contents. Last night, in the middle of the rain, there came a Barrel of Potatoes to us from Kirkcaldy;3 we almost feared it had been the meal, in so bad a night for it. We have taken lately again to porridge, even on London shop-meal, the dearest and the worst of its kind to be found in this Island.
Lately I had a Letter from Mr Stewart of Gillenbie, about Craigenputtoch, which there seems no speedy prospect of selling. He takes occasion to mention Austin and Mary; and praises them both for their management, seemingly very sincerely. I clipt out the passage of his sheet, and enclosed it to Mary the other day.
Nothing new occurs with me here, or as little as I can possibly manage to make it! I keep away from all noises as much as in me lies; generally refuse every invitation (not judged indespensable [sic]); much seldomer go into the heart of London at all, but prefer walking about the Parks and Lanes. I get far more profit silently communing with myself than from the gabble of most I could meet. It is absolutely indispensable for me to be alone a great part of my time; I go all to weeds and rubbish otherwise! The clatter of other people does not increase one, does not alter one at all: if all the earth will fling their caps up about a man, the poor man himself remains just 5 feet ten inches high; if no mortal fling his cap up, the man still measures the same! Ah, me; Eternity is round about us all: the whole world with all the good or all the ill it can do, and the loudest noises it can make, will soon be silent, small!— On the whole, I am best, as James Aitken said, "to work ay mostly in a place by mysel'." I have strong thick shoes that fear no mud; I wear inward flannel (a knit woolen jacket like yours), and am warm without heavy greatcoats or any wrappage as yet; I can walk far, much farther I often find than last year. I have great reason to be thankful for very many things,—perhaps for my weak nerves and sad stomach among the rest! I read very many books; my whole work at present is reading. Perhaps I shall get out another Book by and by. But we will not hurry about that. I am no longer in absolute fear of coming to want; cash enough to go on with, to bid such a Fear begone for a saucy hallanshaker [vagabond] that has insulted me too long! The business is to write a right Book, not a swift-selling Book, or any other sort of Book.
Dear Mother, I wish I could get a long account from you, of all that you are doing, and thinking! You cannot write so easily as I, or you would, I know. I ought to be thankful that you write at all; that I can hear so much of you. I figure you in the end-room yonder, many and many a time; there burns no candle under the wide canopy of Night so interesting to me as that of yours in the little brass candlestick, with my good Mother sitting by it, a wise brave woman, wise, brave, silently trustful in God in her old days as in her young. God is there as well as here; merciful and great above us all: one has no other composing thought in this wild whirl of life and death. Our heart cries, Have Thou Mercy on us all!—
I will write no more today. It is time I should get out, and have a long, long walk. The mist will sink (if the wind fail) about four o'clock, and there will be no good walking. Farewell, dear Mother. Blessings on every one of you. Jane is gone out, and her regards must be understood. Your affectionate Son
T. Carlyle

Wondering if anyone else made songs like this with FL- I see a lot of discussion of trance, dubstep, and such (which I'm a fan of) but not much about pop/rock/post-electronica-pop-rock. So! Below is an all-Fruity song… not only all IL plugins, but I also didn't modify the presets much and we recorded the vocals with Edison.
I need to get better at mixing & mastering, of course, so have a listen!
PS: also wondering about uploading the actual .flp; it's currently 350MB w/ the vocal WAVs. I suppose I could knock them out? Or is there a way to just save the FL info? I saved to zip and then looked at the .flp, but that also removed the piano, drum, and other loop samples.

HRM Impaired Driving Statistics for February
Posted Under: News and Information
Throughout the month of February, citizens and HRM Partners in Policing joined forces to continue the fight against drinking and driving.
In February, police charged 39 people (32 men and seven women) ranging in age from 22 to 71, with Impaired Driving. Of these incidents, 17 were identified by police during their patrols, 11 were identified after a collision had occurred. Concerned citizens alerted police to 11 of these.
One case involved impairment by drugs and two of the charged persons were more than three times the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Officers also issued an additional 16 suspensions to people having a blood alcohol level between 50-80 mg%.
Driving while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs puts everyone in danger. In December 2009, MADD Canada and the Province of Nova Scotia launched 'Campaign 911′ which encourages people to call police with information on suspected impaired drivers. HRM Partners in Policing continue to be encouraged by the number of citizens helping to play a role in community safety. If you have information on a drunk driver, please call 911.

CD - Pussycat Dolls - DollDomination
- 5
Tue 28th Oct, 2008 in Reviews
There's something to be said about exotic and burlesque dancers who end up becoming singers. These girls – at least in this case – are multi-skilled, and can not only stomp, shake, and shimmy, but they can belt out a few good tunes too! The Pussycat Dolls have taken the world by storm and their second studio album Doll Domination is a winner.
From the few opening beats of When I Grow Up, it's plainly obvious that the girls have found a winning formula and they've stuck to it. The thump, bump and grind sounds that made the burlesque dance troupe lives on in the recording studio. Nicole Scherzinger is still very much the lead, but the other four bring their own individual vocal stylings to the table, and together it works.
The appeal of Doll Domination doesn't just end after the first track. The sensational What'cha Think About That, which features Missy Elliot, gets the foot tapping. Missy's rapping works beautifully with the Dolls' signature style.
Another track that rates a mention is the near orchestral Halo. It has an awesome, unique violin arrangement that would almost feel at home on the latest Sarah Brightman release, that is, if it weren't for the synthesised beeps and the R&B feel. It's a gorgeous track, one that straddles a couple of genres. It's almost a ballad, but not quite. It's also worth noting that musical genius Timbaland was behind this one.
Rounding out the first disc of the album is the ballad I'm Done. Scherzinger outdoes herself with this one. It's not the best track on the album, but it's certainly a soft and gentle finish that polishes the album off well.
The Deluxe Version of the album also includes a second disc containing five solo tracks – one by each of the Dolls. This is familiar territory for Scherzinger, who has released a solo album and three solo singles since the release of the Dolls' debut album PCD. Also no stranger to solo work is another Jessica Sutta who worked with Paul Van Dyk in 2007 on his roaring club track White Lies. Each of the girls' tracks offers something different.
Also included on the second CD is the track Lights, Camera, Action which features early nineties boyband New Kids On The Block. While the song is a bit bland the two groups work well together. It's also a great way to bring NKOTB back into the spotlight with the release of their greatest hits and current US tour.
The songs are polished, the choreography is sharp – looks like the Dolls have another hit on their hands. Doll Domination is dynamite and makes the perfect Christmas gift for any female teenagers – or gay boys for that matter.
Pussycat Dolls' – Doll Domination is out now through Universal Music. Win yourself a copy! We've got ten to give away. Click here to enter.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
environmental designer, upcycling, flooring, yoga, architecture
I'm watching with much interest as my friend visual artist and environmental designer Tracy Parker of Lighthouse Design Build Studio is putting her background in art, architecture, design, green building and ecology to work in her home, a 680-square foot fixer-upper in Seaside, California. Casita Verde, as the home is known, will get a full, deep green facelift, and there's no one I trust more than Tracy to get it right.
This month, Tracy installed reclaimed World War II-era Douglas fir planks as flooring. "Given the small footprint, we wanted a flooring material that oozed comfort and durability," Tracy says. She wanted reclaimed flooring that had been disassembled within 500 miles of her home—and she was in luck. Tracy and her partner found 800 square feet of old factory subfloor material that had been salvaged from an old mill—"rich with history and ready for assembly"—in nearby Petaluma. They set aside 680 square feet for the main house and the remaining material for the detached soon-to-be-built shed in the back yard for extended living space. She installed it herself and finished it with environmentally sensitive Bona sealer.
"Given the flooring's age, thickness and type, the installation was a labor of love, to say the least," Tracy says. "The installation took about four times longer than a typical engineered flooring." But after living with the flooring for a month, she concludes: "I wouldn't have done it any other way. The home feels cozy and inviting with the floor's rich variation of texture and color. It's light enough to illuminate and reflect daylight throughout the house and rich enough to ground the white-washed walls."
Tracy says the flooring expands the sense of space in her small home and ties in with the Douglas fir window trim, interior doors and beams, "emphasizing simplicity and minimalism."
"The flooring has been soft as butta on the feet, easy to clean with warm water, and has been perfect for yoga sessions in the living room," Tracy reports. "I love the slight imperfections and variation of the wood under my feet. I can literally sense the subtle layers of embedded history as I walk. … Who would have thought that this material that caught my eye would become a constant grounding mechanism for me every day? The power of architecture and material, alive and real."
Tracy's reclaimed flooring brings character and warmth to her home.
The planks, rescued from an old mill in nearby Petaluma, are delivered.
Tracy installed the flooring herself and finished it with nontoxic sealer.

SEATTLE -- Washington head coach Mike Neighbors announced the addition of Macy Keen, a transfer from Miami, on Thursday. The 6-5 center will join the Huskies next season, although she will be forced to sit out the 2013-14 campaign due to NCAA transfer rules.
"Macy is an obvious fit for our team and will be a unique player in the Pac-12," said Neighbors. "I have a lot of experience working with transfer students from my days at Xavier and am confident Macy will excel at UW."
"Macy is thrilled to have a chance to attend a school with the academic reputation of Washington. She spoke with Kim Durand and the Student Development staff and raved about their commitment to the student-athlete. On the floor, she realized the momentum we are building and is excited to be a part of the future."
Keen was a highly recruited high school athlete out of Dillard HS in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She was ranked as the No. 37 player in the nation by ESPN Hoopgurlz, including the No. 6 post player. Keen is known as a standout defensive presence and shot blocker that combines her size with elite quickness and athleticism.
Keen also considered Baylor, Florida State, South Florida and Tulsa out of high school, before deciding on Miami where she played her freshman season. She averaged 1.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 12 contests for the Hurricanes who advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
Keen was heavily recruited out of high school by Tulsa, including by new Husky assistant Fred Castro who was with the Golden Hurricane at the time.
"Relationships are such a big part of recruiting and Coach Castro's relationship was important to attracting her attention to the UW," said Neighbors. "Once Coach Barnes, Coach Morrison and I were able to develop that same relationship with Macy it was clear she was a great fit for our team, our university, and Seattle."
Keen will join a revamped inside game for the Huskies with Katie Collier returning from injury and incoming freshman Chantel Osahor, the Gatorade Player of the Year in Arizona. This group will join returning starters Talia Walton and Aminah Williams and key reserve Mathilde Gilling, giving Washington a deep and versatile group.

"Of Bodies and Buildings: Drawings by Joan Linder," Anthony Giordano Gallery, Dowling College, Oakdale, NY. Through Dec. 9. Check out Linder's website.
"In culture hyper-saturated by electronic imagery I use the traditional materials of a quill pen and a bottle of ink to create large-scale images that persist in exploring and claiming the sub-technological process of observation and mark making." Linder says in her online statement. " I am creating life size representation of figures and objects. There is a vital relationship that arises between the observer and the observed on a scale of one to one." In Newsday, Ariella Budick writes that "despite the haunted nature of their origins, the body-free bondage pictures at the Anthony Giordano Gallery appear delicately abstract and elegant. You might feel an undercurrent of aggression in the tensile quality of the ropes, in how convoluted areas congregate in some corners of the paper and go slack in others, but the knotty political nature of the images comes across almost subliminally....Joan Linder's intricate process, the way she works simply with pen and ink on paper, means that she can't disguise her mistakes. Whether her nib slips, she messes up the pattern, or a bottle of ink sloshes, leaving a big blotch, the errors she makes become integral, revealing the workings of her very individual hand. At one point, a huge spill appeared on the life-sized drawing of a couch she had been laboring on for months: 'I was devastated,' she recalls, 'but then it was OK. I wanted to do work that was a one-shot deal.' The contrast between the sloppy spontaneity of the blemishes and the obsessive precision of her line is what makes Linder's pictures so alive."

Obama's Approval Trend Predictable
Regarding the concerns in Dem circles about President Obama's recent approval ratings, Brendan Nyhan has a calm-headed analysis. As Nyhan explains:
...Coverage of presidential approval suffers from a bizarre ahistoricism. Reporters typically have almost no understanding of the forces that drive presidential approval or the patterns it tends to follow during the course of a president's time in office...That's why it's amusing to see so many people acting like it's news that approval of President Obama's handling of health care and overall job performance numbers are trending downward (particularly among independents and Republicans). Of course his numbers are going down! It's been a virtual certainty that this transition would take place since the day Obama took office. The only question was when it would happen and how far down they would go.
The reason is simple. Presidential approval tends to decline after the honeymoon period as the opposition party begins to be more critical of the president...This decline was likely to be especially significant in Obama's case because his initial Gallup approval levels were the highest for any president since JFK.
Regarding approval of Obama's handling of health care, Nyhan notes:
...At first, Obama benefitted from what the political scientist John Zaller calls a one-message environment in which Congressional Republicans offered platitudes about their desire to work with him on health care. However, as the legislative process has moved forward, the GOP and its allies in the press have begun to aggressively attack his approach to the issue. As such, Republicans and sympathetic independents in the electorate are now more likely to tell pollsters that they don't approve of Obama's handling of the issue.
The upside for Obama is that these numbers don't seem to indicate anything specific about the prospects for his health care plan. It would be surprising if the public didn't start to split along partisan lines at this point given the nature of the proposal. There isn't much information here that the two parties couldn't have anticipated (though it would be helpful to put the numbers in context -- how do Obama's health care approval numbers compare to, say, Clinton's in July 1993?)
Nyhan believes that we are not likely to see much of an uptick in Obama's approval numbers in the near future as a result of his efforts in behalf of health reform, given the intensity of the approaching battle, even though it's rarely the case that one factor trumps all others in swaying presidential approval ratings. In addition, as chart data Nyhan provides indicates, "the aggregate preference of the electorate for more or less government -- what the political scientist James Stimson calls public mood -- tends to move in the opposite direction of a dominant governing party."
So we can give the hand-wringing about approval ratings a rest. It would be more surprising if Obama's approval numbers didn't go down. Let the opposition do the chicken little dance, while Dems keep our eyes on the big prize, which is enacting meaningful health care reform. When that historic struggle is won, we can expect an uptick in the president's approval ratings --- and Democratic fortunes in general.

Home Hitachi Tools – Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit0
by Wallabee
Home Hitachi Tools – Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit
I just wanted to tell everyone how much I like the Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight. I purchased mine several years ago and use it all the time. That is a testimony to its' rugged construction and durability. I am retired now from working in a Diesel Repair Body Shop, now I have my own Carpentry Shop and I purchased that Home Hitachi Tool because of the lightweight (3.3 lbs), well balanced, ergonomic, fatigue reducing design with little vibration. Although most of my tools were pneumatic and heavy there are many tight places that those tools would not fit.
The flexibility of this Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight made that chore easy. The 3/8″ key-less chuck is also very handy for quick changing of the bits, making less unnecessary ups and downs for bits to do the job more efficiently. Another great feature is the 22-position clutch you can set for exactly the correct screw depth to be sure you won't damage the part or wood product.
The Hitachi Cordless 14.4-volt Driver Drill Kit with Flashlight has a class-leading 230 in/lbs torque.
Its' two-speed transmission has an easy to use one-touch speed knob for tougher jobs that require more torque from 0-350 or 0-1050 rpm. The Batteries seem to last along time, of course the harder the job the sooner it runs down but I'm quite please with the amount of work I can get done before I have to change out the battery.
The Flashlight that comes with this kit proved also to be a great addition to my tool chest. It has several positions the light can be set to make the angle of light just right.
This Home Hitachi Tool kit comes with 2-1.4 Ah Batteries and Quick Charger, 1-Driver Bit, 7-pc Bit set and Carrying Case.
I highly recommend this Home Hitachi Tool for home or business.
Leroy Leff is a good resource to ask about the Hitachi 14.4 Volt Cordless Drill Kit.

Just a quick voltmeter setup, a cordless drill battery and we're off. Just make sure that the battery voltage is over 12V, or else the laptop may behave irrationally. (NOTE The battery used here is a Ni-Cd type, rated 14V 1.2Ah; however the capacity of 1.2 Ah is NOT enough for this setup. You need at least 3-4Ah to do something useful – my battery did last just 30 minutes, the voltage then dropped to 10V and the laptop froze due to undervoltage.)

He supported Solidarity against the Communist regime. He initiated the new evangelization movement. He helped bring down the Itron Curtain. He attracted great crowds whenever he appeared.
But no matter what his influence or popularity on the international stage,Pope John Paul II may be best remembered for his performance on the personal one.
John Paul was not only approachable, (News programs constantly reported about his audiences with foreign dignitaries.) John Paul reached out to the common man.
One of my favorite stories was about Pope John Paul's private audiences with the street weepers of Rome. Not the drivers of those motorized vehicles with rotating brushes, mind you. These were with the men with the hand brooms and dust pans who literally swept the stone and paved roadways.
During one session one of the street sweepers asked the Pope to officiate as his wedding. John Paul not only accepted the invitation. He set up the ceremony in a Vatican chapel.
Not surprising this same Pontiff would don the clothes of a parish priest and slip away to hear confessions of regular parishioners.
One of my Polish parents most prized possessions was the papal blessing they received from Pope John Paul II, the first Polish Pope, for their 50th wedding anniversary.
It's only fitting John Paul II, was canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday, the day the Church celebrates the devotion made possible by person he helped bring into sainthood, St. Faustina.
Our current Pope Francis called John Paul "pope of the family."

Since publication of the first edition in 1974, Leo Braudy and Marshall Cohen's Film Theory and Criticism has been the most widely used and cited anthology of critical writings about film. Now in its seventh edition, this landmark text continues to offer outstanding coverage of more than a century of thought and writing about the movies. Incorporating classic texts by pioneers in film theory--including Rudolf Arnheim, Siegfried Kracauer, and Andre Bazin--and cutting-edge essays by such contemporary scholars as David Bordwell, Tania Modleski, Thomas Schatz, and Richard Dyer, the book examines both historical and theoretical viewpoints on the subject. Building upon the wide range of selections and the extensive historical coverage that marked previous editions, this new compilation stretches from the earliest attempts to define the cinema to the most recent efforts to place film in the contexts of psychology, sociology, and philosophy, and to explore issues of gender and race. Reorganized into eight sections--each comprising the major fields of critical controversy and analysis--this new edition features reformulated introductions and biographical headnotes that contextualize the readings, making the text more accessible than ever to students, film enthusiasts, and general readers alike. The seventh edition also integrates exciting new material on feminist theory, queer cinema, and global cinema, as well as a new section, "Digitization and Globalization," which engages important recent developments in technology and world cinema. A wide-ranging critical and historical survey, Film Theory and Criticism remains the leading text for undergraduate courses in film theory. It is also ideal for graduate courses in film theory and criticism. ABOUT THE EDITORS Leo Braudy is University Professor and Bing Professor of English at the University of Southern California. Among other books, he is author of Native Informant: Essays on Film, Fiction, and Popular Culture (OUP, 1991), The Frenzy of Renown: Fame and Its History (OUP, 1986), and most recently, From Chivalry to Terrorism: War and the Changing Nature of Masculinity (2003). Marshall Cohen is University Professor Emeritus and Dean Emeritus of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at the University of Southern California. He is coeditor, with Roger Copeland, of What Is Dance? Readings in Theory and Criticism (OUP, 1983) and founding editor of Philosophy and Public Affairs.

Senior Brittney Lang
By Bill Ford
OMAHA, Neb. -- The Southern Illinois softball team's season came to an end at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Thursday at the CU Sports Complex.
The fifth-seeded Salukis opened the tournament with a 7-1 win over No. 8 Wichita State before falling to No. 4 Northern Iowa 6-4 later in the day in the quarterfinals. Southern finishes the season at 25-27 overall with a 12-10 mark in MVC play.
"I thought this weekend, how we came out, is how you have to approach every game," said SIU head coach Kerri Blaylock. "I was really pleased with the way they played this weekend. They gave it everything."
First Round
SIU 7, Wichita State 1
Box Score
Junior Kelsea Ashton's three-run double in the second inning gave the Salukis an early lead and Southern never looked back in the six-run win.
SIU loaded the bases on a pair of walks an a single before Ashton roped one to right center to clear the bases in the bottom of the second, giving the Salukis a 3-0 lead. WSU bounced back with an unearned run in the top of the third, but SIU answered with a run on an RBI single by junior Michelle Glenn in the bottom of the inning to put the Salukis back up 4-1.
Southern kept the Shockers off the board for the remainder of the game as the Salukis added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to coast to the win. Jayna Spivey and Meredith Wilson each picked up RBI hits in the sixth while the Salukis scored another run on a Shocker error.
"Our kids did what we do," Blaylock said. "We were very, very patient at the plate, and we looked for our pitches."
Brittney Lang (13-15) picked up the win after allowing no earned runs on three hits with seven strikeouts and just two walks in a complete game effort.
"I just thought Brittney kept her composure," Blaylock said. "She came out with a determination today and just went straight through the game, which is what we needed her to do."
Ashton led the Saluki offense, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and a sacrifice hit. Wilson, Glenn and Taylor Orsburn each picked up a pair of hits and Morgan Barchan scored two runs.
Northern Iowa 6, SIU 4
Box Score
Morgan Barchan's grand slam in the fourth inning gave SIU a brief 4-3 lead, but the Panthers answered back with two home runs in the next two innings to get by the Salukis and into the tournament semifinal.
"We just made a couple of bad pitches," Blaylock said. "I don't think it was a bad pitching performance, it was just a couple of bad pitches at moments that UNI took advantage of."
The two teams endured an hour and 42-minute weather delay that struck during the bottom of the first inning. After play resumed, the Panthers struck for three runs in the bottom of the second, knocking Saluki starter Alyssa Wunderlich out of the game in favor of Katie Bertelsen.
After a scoreless third, Southern loaded the bases in the top of the fourth on a pair of walks and a Panther error bringing Barchan to the plate. Barchan gave SIU its first hit of the game with a bomb over the right field fence to clear the bases and give SIU a 4-3 lead.
"She's the gutsiest kid," Blaylock said of Barchan. "She came up in a huge situation when we needed her the most and she came through big time."
Barchan's grand slam marked SIU's school-record seventh of the season, as SIU had five different players hit one during the season.
UNI responded with a solo home run off Bertelsen in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 4-4 before hitting a two-run shot in the fifth go up 6-4. Southern couldn't produce any more runs in the final two runs, however, as the Salukis stranded eight runners for the game.
Bertelsen (4-3) suffered the loss after allowing three runs on five hits with two strikeouts in 3.0 innings of work. Southern finished with three hits against UNI's First-Team All-MVC hurler Jamie Fisher (19-13) who allowed three earned runs and struck out six with eight walks in the win.
Junior Taylor Orsburn picked up a hit in the game to end the season on a 14-game hit streak and a 23-game on-base streak.

Congratulations to the Anoka-Ramsey students cast in the play:
About House of Blue Leaves
Set in Sunnyside Queens in 1965, this dark comedy by John Guare features Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper desperate to escape his lower middle-class life and become a famous songwriter. His schizophrenic wife, Bananas, tells him straight out his songs are awful while his mistress, Bunny Flingus encourages his quest for fame. When the Pope Paul plans a visit to New York City, Artie thinks it's time for his life to get blessed as well. But before he can reach out to his old school buddy Billy Einhorn, a famous film director in Los Angeles, for a job writing music for the movies, Artie's son, Ronnie, goes AWOL from the army and hatches a plot to blow up the Pope at Yankee Stadium. When the bomb explodes prematurely, chaos reigns in a mix of laughter, drama and social commentary.
Tickets are $8 in advance at the college bookstore, online at webs.AnokaRamsey.edu/theatre (Buy Tickets Now), or at the door an hour prior to the performance.

April 22, 2009
DEKALB, Ill. - The third-seeded Northern Illinois men's tennis team, winners of three-consecutive dual matches, opens the Mid-American Conference Championships in Buffalo, N.Y., Thursday, and will take on No. 6 Chicago State in the quarterfinals. Start time is set for 1:30 p.m. CST.
The Huskies (8-9, 3-2 MAC) are coming off last Saturday's historic win over Ball State. NIU posted a come-from-behind, 4-3 win, its first regular-season victory over the Cardinals since 1974. As a result, the Huskies finished the season in a three-way tie for second-place in the MAC standings, and earned the No. 3 seed by way of a tiebreaker over Ball State.
NIU also tallied regular-season league wins over Chicago State and Buffalo. The Huskies enter the MAC Championships on a three-match winning streak, its second-such stretch of three or more consecutive wins this season. Freshman Pawel Pozimoski, the current MAC Player of the Week, is off to a quick 2-0 start at the No. 1 singles position after defeating his counterparts from both IPFW and Ball State last weekend.
"We're excited about the opportunity, and our guys are ready to play this week," said NIU head coach Pawel Gajdzik. "We've talked all season long about preparing for this tournament; that's one of the reasons we played Illinois in a tournament-formatted match earlier this season.
"I actually think playing a quarterfinal match will be good for us, as opposed to having a bye. We're not overlooking Chicago State at all, but if we're lucky enough to advance to the semifinals, I think our guys will be that much more comfortable (after playing a match in the quarterfinals)."
Chicago State dropped all five of its league matches by 7-0 scores. The Cougars have lost seven-consecutive matches overall, after defeating Philadelphia University, 5-4, on March 18 in Orlando, Fla. NIU shut out CSU on April 2, behind five straight-set wins in singles, and two pro-set victories in doubles action. The Cougars forfeited both the No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles matches due to a shortened lineup.
The matches in the MAC Championships will be played in a tournament format, with the first team reaching four points as the winner - the remainder of the matches will not be played out, as in a regular dual match format.

RC Scoring Pro
If you would like to talk to someone who has run races with RC Scoring Pro, please email one of the following race directors:
Ruben Benitez, Race Director at 'A' Main Hobbies, Chico CA
Brandon from Dirt Heaven near Green Bay, WI wrote to us:
Dear RC Scoring Pro, I have been racing r/c cars since 1993. Since that time, I have helped out with the race directing, and in 2001 I bought a hobby shop. At that time, my partners and I decided it was time to upgrade from Autoscore DOS to a Windows based scoring program. At first, we bought JLap. The features sounded great at first, but it was lacking one major function.... race scoring that WORKED! Within the first 3 months of using the software, we had nothing but software crashes and angry racers. Shortly thereafer we switched to Autoscore Windows. The software was more stable than JLap, but still had a few flaws. Unfortunately, some of the cool functions we had hoped for in a scoring system were not available. After a few months of running this software, I heard about RC Scoring Pro. I tried the RC Scoring Pro for one night and was instantly sold. I have now been running RC Scoring Pro for 6 months and have not had one single problem, and every single feature we could ever want has already been incorporated into the software. On top of that, your support is second to none. From taking new ideas and requests to taking personal phone calls, you are easy to contact and friendly at all times. After spending over $1700 on software that we no longer use, RC Scoring Pro was by far one of the best investments we have ever made. The racers love the software and its extensive list of features, I love it's ease of use and functionality as a race director, and everyone loves the fact that the software is stable and can run a full race weekend with hundreds of racers and have no problems.
Sincerely, Brandon
Since this email was written about 9 years ago, Brandon Rohde have become good friends, and he and I came up with the idea for LiveRC.com, and the rest is history!
Brandon from MSRA in Tennessee wrote to us:
"In July at our TCS race we had 113 entries, 15 qualifying races per round and ran 4 rounds and mains flawlessly! Couldn't say the same for JLap with 73 entries last year, it crashed at least twice, I personally ran the pc for both of those TCS races."
Hundreds of tracks in the United States, Canada and many other countries are using RC Scoring Pro!

NIUHuskies.com concludes its preview of every position on the 2012 Northern Illinois football team with a look at the offensive line. In addition, go to Huskies All-Access to see a video breakdown of every position with interviews and practice highlights. The video will be available approximately 24 hours after the article is posted.
DEKALB, Ill. - After enjoying mild weather during most of its 2012 preseason practices, the Northern Illinois University football team closed out its final days of preseason camp in 90-plus degree heat at Huskie Stadium Friday.
Despite the hotter temperatures, Northern Illinois held a crisp, upbeat two-hour practice. The NIU offense, in particular, displayed a fast paced tempo.
As preseason comes to an end and "game week" begins, the Northern Illinois position group that entered August with the most questions - offensive line - has managed to find some answers. With four starters lost to graduation, the goal for offensive line coach/run game coordinator Rod Carey in camp was simple; find four new starters.
"We had to identify the guys that were going to be in there," Carey said. "We're not there yet. We'll look at the film from today, make a decision and roll with it. We're probably going to play more than five guys this year."
Carey's task was made a little more challenging when Logan Pegram (Silver Lake, Kan./Silver Lake), NIU's lone returning starter on the offensive line, went down with a fractured leg. Carey has been pleased to see the younger players step up with the junior Jared Volk (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) stepping into a leadership role.
"We lost Logan, and we feel bad for him, but it is next man in," Carey said. "Jared's done a good job of leading them, but as a group, they're coming."
A trio of redshirt freshmen, Aidan Conlon (Flossmoor, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor), Matthew Killian (O'Fallon, Mo./Francis Howell) and Andrew Ness (O'Fallon, Mo./Christian Brothers College) have been working with the first team in practice at the guard spots and center position, respectively. Tyler Loos (Sterling, Ill./Sterling), a redshirt sophomore, has assumed the left tackle duties, with redshirt junior Matt Krempel (Columbus, Ind./Columbus North) at right tackle.
Volk, a redshirt junior, who started the final two regular season games of 2011 and worked with the first unit against Ohio and Arkansas State, leads a second team unit comprised of redshirt sophomores. Volk, who is working his way back from an injury suffered during winter conditioning, and Tyler Pitt (McRae, Ga./Telfair County) are playing at right and left guard respectively. Left tackle Ryan Brown (Elburn, Ill./St. Charles North), right tackle Wes Ott (Western Spring, Ill./Lyons Township) and center Michael Gegner (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central) round out the second team offensive line.
Over the last three weeks of camp, Carey has seen the offensive line grow and develop into a cohesive unit.
"They're starting to gel, like every offensive line does," Carey said. "It takes time. It's not something that happens overnight. It's something that you have to go through.
"You have to go through the heat, like today. You have to talk when you're tired and those things are happening."
NIU head coach Dave Doeren has been pleased with the development of the offensive line in camp.
"I really like the chemistry those guys have," Doeren said. "I think Coach Carey's done a really good job with them. It's a tight knit-group of guys.
"We are young, but we're talented. They have good chemistry, communicate well with each other and they understand what to do with our system."

The LT. Dan Band Benefit Concert for Local Hero CPL. Mark Litynski
Presented by Tunnel to Towers Foundation and The Gary Sinise Foundation
Pantages Theatre
Sun, August 4, 2013 at 7:00pm
$39.00 to $79.00
Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band will perform at the Pantages Theatre in honor of Minneapolis native Cpl. (Ret.) United States Marine Corps Mark Litynski, who was 23-years old when an IED blast ripped off both of his legs and most of his left arm, slashing into his remaining arm, shattering his pelvis and driving a rock and other debris up into his abdominal cavity. Mark and his wife Heather were both raised in the suburbs of Minneapolis and are looking for a plot of land here to have their "smart home" built.
Supporting the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the Lt. Dan Band performs to raise funds to build specially designed "smart homes" for our nation's Veterans.
In addition to the Lt. Dan Band, "America's Tenor" Danny Rodriguez, also known as the singing policeman, will take the stage with his mellifluous vocals. Danny is the New York City cop who helped bring the country an uplifting spirit of promise and hope with his stirring rendition of "God Bless America" after the September 11 terrorist attacks and has subsequently offered his talent to the Lt. Dan Band Benefit Concerts across the country. World renowned artist and American patriot, Scott LoBaido will also be at the concert painting a tribute onstage to thank the Minneapolis community for their support of CPL Lytinski. Learn more about Scott LoBaido here.
Local Marine hero Mark is married to Heather and they are looking forward to raising their family in a new "smart home" where Mark can have additional independence. Each house features fully-automated amenities to ease their unimaginable life changes and help restore their independence. Twenty-five "smart homes" will have broken ground or completed construction by the end of 2013, each for a wounded warrior and their family.
"Lieutenant Dan" is the character Gary Sinise portrayed in the 1994 film Forrest Gump, a role for which he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. As Gary began visiting troops around the world, people (even little kids) who didn't know him as Gary Sinise, the actor, would recognize him as "Lt.Dan". Those in the military also seem to identify strongly with the character. And so the name for his group was an easy choice: Lt. Dan Band!
Gary Sinise and The Lt. Dan Band cover everything from classics by Stevie Wonder and The Police to contemporary songs by Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, the Zac Brown Band and much more: pop, rock, blues, Motown, soul, country, even tunes from the 40's big band era. There's something for everyone and each show highlights the musical diversity of the band, as well as the passion and energy each member brings to the stage. Whether performing for troops overseas or at a local club, the goal is to have fun and rock the house!
Learn more about "smart homes" in the video below:

Obama Voters Celebrate Their Free Gifts
First and foremost, I want to thank all of you who turned out and voted for team Romney/Ryan. It was a tough stretch and we gave the White House a good run, but unfortunately we have learned that gaming the White Establishment vote is no longer a sure win technique to win the presidency.
The day my father had warned me about, before I actually left for mission at my 20th birthday, has come upon this nation: white, powerful men are no longer in control. In America, the once fantastic corporation of enterprise where once you made it, you could use others as stepstools for further success, in crumbling apart. This is a business in its death throes, my good friends. America is a failing company and if you do not bail out now, you will sink with it and lose everything you've intested with it.
For this reason I urge you to consider diversifying your investments into a more secure market, like outsourced Chinese labor. With lax labor laws and a growing population hungry for survival, the nation is ripe for the picking and has potential billions in manufactured labor to be had for wise capital investment.
Business aside, 53% of America was either foolish or greedy enough to elect Barack Obama as CEO. Why a nation would choose a Marxist over myself, a father-made millionaire who is now worth nearly $300 million dollars is beyond me. All of my sons are millionaires. After she writes her memoirs, my wife herself may even earn decent money for a woman. I hear book publishers pay out $50,000 sometimes a pop, just for writing those things. But America turned down a family representing the modern dream, for a family of opportunist socialists.
Barack Obama and Michelle Obama grow up paupers. They are beggers and know what entails gaining the support of the poor 'ghetto' vote. Unfortunately, young voters, black voters and Hispanics actually showed up to the polls. Despite new I.D. laws, these people somehow still managed to pass the legal loophole and vote for Barack Obama. These dire people did not vote on any important issues, like the need to ensure a woman's womb is under government control, for the sake of prosperity, unborn children and our religious faith. They do not care that seniors are wasting money on healthcare vis-a-vis Medicare, they do not care that the cycle of poverty is only strengthened by giving food and health care to the poor in this country.
The best any person elevating above their caste can hope to achieve is what Barack Obama has done: I will give him that. But that is a one in a million shot. We may as well tell every little Tyrone and Jama'al in the 'hood' that he will be first round draft pick for the New York Knicks. It is just not going to happen. Poor kids will tend to stay poor. There is no need wasting money of hardworking, wealthy people on them: they will get older, beg for alms and at best get a job at a local McDonalds or barber shop in their locale. We must let these people be and figure life out on their own.
The reality of the situation is tough to swallow for many, but quite frankly, it is true. Sorry. Obama knows it is true, yet appeased the very people destroying this nation with the idea of more free gifts. He is giving poor people in this country free homes, free cellular phones, free food, free 'austerity packages' and has promised more things in the future. Such grievous, flagrant displays of demogoguery remind me of a imperial Roman nightmare, where a Caesar deceives a nation of common plebs as he runs the army thin, the economy parched and flirts with destruction from the Arab world.
As that message sinks in, look at these Obama voters. They celebrate their 'free gifts'. As you read this from your office or perhaps iPhone as you wait for your financial investor to crunch your numbers for the week, remember that in the time it took you to read this article, another 200 Jamals and 3000 Santiagos were conceived. In 9 months, they will be receiving free Obama gifts too. Goodbye, America, if this is the path you are going to choose. It is a paradox: you cannot fund a nation that increasinly creates freeloading moochers. Eventually, the balance of finance is lost, the rich will leave and you end up with a welfare state full of riots, ethnic wars and chaos, much like you see in Greece right now. With that though, enjoy the future you voted for:
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Sure, most starlets point their Mercedes, BMW or Prius west of Hollywood—to Beverly Hills, Westwood or Santa Monica—for pre-red-carpet treatments at the ritzy spa du jour. Caviar-infused lotions? Diamond massages? Bills in the high three digits or more? They're game.
This story first appeared in the April 20, 2007 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
But in preparation for her Golden Globes tromp, Brenda Strong, whose husky voice purrs the lurid affairs of the Desperate Housewives suburbanites, shunned the west side spa gauntlet and instead headed east for relaxation on a layman's budget. She went to a spa in Koreatown, where glowing skin is convenient and cost-effective.
Just consider the numbers. In Beverly Hills, a precious diamond massage at The Peninsula Spa is $275 for 90 minutes; in Koreatown, a 90-minute scrub and massage at the Aroma Spa & Sports in Wilshire Center is $110. In Westwood, a one-hour basic facial at Bliss Spa at the W hotel costs $100; in Koreatown, the Olympic Spa offers a 60-minute aromatic balancing facial for $60.
Strong isn't the only celebrity doing the math. Koreatown spa Beverly Hot Springs reported that both Penélope Cruz and Courteney Cox recently paid a visit. And even male celebs, Don Johnson being one, have been known to frequent the Koreatown treatment rooms. One additional Hollywood perk: It's unlikely the paparazzi will decamp from their Robertson Boulevard hideouts to snap a shot.

As noted in previous postings, jazz perhaps more than any other genre has a history of inspiring great visual artists. Jazz photographers produced many of the 20th century's most indelible images, vintage Blue Note albums continue to evoke the rhythms and vibe of post-war America and painters moved by the music and its iconic performers forever proliferate, particularly in the Bay Area.
Today, I want to call your attention to one such artist from the Midwest, Joel Washington.
I was visiting my alma mater, Indiana University, this past summer when, as I traversed the Union with my wife Leslie and my long-time friend George, the latter called my attention to a color-bursting portrait of guitar great Wes Montgomery, himself a native Hoosier. I was duly impressed and took a picture on my phone.
This morning, the campus newspaper where I got my start in journalism 150 years ago, the Indiana Daily Student, ran a lengthy feature on Washington, who is a university employee. Here is a short bio of the artist.
Joel Washington is an artist from Bloomington, Indiana. Joel has been creating art for over 20 years. He has had the pleasure of being featured in many galleries, magazines and newspapers. He has done commissioned work for Bloomington businesses, Indiana University, State of Indiana, and world dignitaries.
Check out the slide show for a sample of Washington's jazz-themed art.
