TC TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON ; 5 August 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440805-TC-RWE-01; CL 18: 167-169
Chelsea, 5 Augt, 1844—
Dear Emerson,
There had been a long time without direct news from you, till four days ago your Letter arrived. This day I understand to be the ultimate limit of the American Mail,—yesterday, had it not been Sunday, would have been the limit: I write a line, therefore, tho' in very great haste.
Poor Sterling, even I now begin to fear, is in a very bad way. He had two successive attacks of spitting of blood, some three months ago, or more; the second attack of such violence, and his previous condition then so weak, that the Doctor as good as gave up hope,—the poor Patient himself had from the first given it up. Our poor Friend has had so many attacks of that nature, and so rapidly always rallied from them, I gave no ear to these sinister prognostics; but now that I see the summer influences passing over him without visible improvement, and our good weather looking towards a close without so much strength added as will authorize even a new voyage to Madiera,—I too am at last joining in the general discouragement; all the sadder to me that I shut it out so long. Sir James Clark, our best-accredited Physician for such diseases, declares that Life for certain months may linger, with great pain; but that recovery is not to be expected. Great part of the lungs, it appears, is totally unserviceable for respiration; from the remainder, especially in times of coughing, it is with the greatest difficulty that breath enough is obtained. Our poor Patient passes the night in a sitting posture; cannot lie down: that fact sticks with me ever since I heard it! He is very weak, very pale; still "writes a great deal daily"; but does not wish to see any body; declines to "see even Carlyle," who offered to go to him. His only Brother, Anthony Sterling, a hardy soldier, lately withdrawn from the Army, and settled in this quarter, whom we often communicate with, is about going down to the Isle of Wight this week: he saw John four days ago, and brings nothing but bad news,—of which indeed this removal of his to the neighbourhood of the scene is a practical testimony. The old Father, a Widower for the last two years, and very lonely and dispirited, seems getting feebler and feebler: he was here yesterday; a pathetic kind of spectacle to us. Alas, alas! But what can be said? I say Nothing; I have written only one Note to Sterling:1 I feel it probable that I shall never see him more,—nor his like again in this world. His disease, as I have from of old construed it, is a burning of him up by his own fire. The restless vehemence of the man, struggling in all ways these many years to find a legitimate outlet, and finding except for transitory unsatisfactory corruscations none, has undermined its Clay Prison in the weakest point (which proves to be the lungs), and will make outlet there. My poor Sterling! It is an old tragedy; and very stern whenever it repeats itself of new.— —
Today I get answer about Alfred Tennyson:2 all is right on that side. Moxon informs me that the Russell Books and Letter arrived duly, and were duly forwarded and safely received; nay farther that Tennyson is now in Town, and means to come and see me. Of this latter result I shall be very glad: Alfred is one of the few British or Foreign Figures (a not increasing number, I think!) who are and remain beautiful to me;—a true human soul, or some authentic approximation thereto, to whom your own soul can say, Brother!— However, I doubt h[e] will not come; he often skips me, in these brief visits to Town; skips [every] body indeed; being a man solitary and sad, as certain men are, dwelling in an element of gloom,—carrying a bit of Chaos about him, in short, which he is manufacturing into Cosmos!
Alfred is the Son of a Lincolnshire Gentleman Farmer, I think;3 indeed you see in his verses that he is a native of "moated granges,"4 and green fat pastures, not of mountains and their torrents and storms. He had his breeding at Cambridge, as if for the Law or Church; being master of a small annuity on his Father's decease, he preferred clubbing with his Mother and some Sisters,5 to live unpromoted and write Poems. In this way he lives still, now here now there; the family always within reach of London, never in it; he himself making rare and brief visits, lodging in some old comrade's rooms. I think he must be under forty, not much under it.6 One of the finest looking men in the world. A great shock of rough dusty-dark hair; bright-laughing hazel eyes; massive aquiline face, most massive yet most delicate, of sallow-brown complexion, almost Indian-looking; clothes cynically loose, free-and-easy;—smokes infinite tobacco. His voice is musical metallic,—fit for loud laughter and piercing wail, and all that may lie between; speech and speculation free and plenteous: I do not meet, in these late decades, such company over a pipe!— We shall see what he will grow to. He is often unwell; very chaotic,—his way is thro' Chaos and the Bottomless and Pathless; not handy for making out many miles upon. (O Paper!)7
I trust there is now joy in place of pain in the House at Concord, and a certain Mother grateful again to the Supreme Powers!8 We are all in our customary health here, or nearly so; my Wife has been in Lancashire, among her kindred there, for a month lately: our swoln City is getting empty and still; we think of trying an Autumn here this time.—Get your Book9 ready; there are readers ready for it! And be busy and victorious! Ever yours
T. Carlyle
My "History" is frightful! If I live, it is like to be completed; but whether I shall live, and not rather be buried alive, broken-hearted, in the Serbonian Quagmires10 of English Stupidity, and so sleep beside Cromwell, often seems uncertain. Erebus has no uglier, brutaller element. Let us say nothing of it. Let us do it, or leave it to the Devils. Ay de mi!

Taylor's Dad Warns Harry: Don't Break My Daughters Heart!
Watch out Harry, because you have a very scary man after you!Apparently, Taylor Swift's Dad, Scott, has warned Harry to slow down his relationship with his daughter, because he is worried Harry will break Taylor's fragile heart.
Harry was allegedly told to "cool" off his relationship with the country star, after speculation about an impending marriage became a hot topic in recent days.
A source described Scott's feelings:
"He likes Harry but he wants them to slow down and take things easy. It's clear to everyone they are smitten with one another and already talking about marriage."
"He doesn't want them to split up as fast as they've got together and for Taylor to end up devastated."
The pair are really into each other, with footage showing them kissing at midnight on New Years as well as pictures emerging from their holiday on the British Virgin Islands. They have been inseparable in recent weeks, seen holding hands, taking quick trips away together and reportedly Skype everyday when they are apart.
Harry apparently has already dropped the "L" word…so things are getting very serious Directioners.
Listen to Scott Harry, don't go breaking her heart! Or should it be the other way round?

Donatella Partners Up Again
The new (business)man in her life is ex-Wall Streeter Ron Brannon.
Evidently Donatella Arpaia's breakup with chef and business partner Michael Psilakis last year (and the subsequent closure of Anthos) hasn't deterred the restaurateur from bringing a new (business)man into her life. She's partnered up once again, this time with former tech-finance guy Ron Brannon. As Crain's points out today, unlike past partners Michael Psilakis and David Burke, Brannon's unknown status lets Arpaia be "the sole attraction." The two plan to replicate Arpaia's newest ventures, Donatella and DBar, possibly as far away as Hong Kong, and Brannon is also developing some restaurant-industry software that he's testing out at the two venues while overseeing their operations.

Every writer looks back and cringes at some of their past work — what seemed clear at the time is clunky in retrospect, what was once an expression of heartfelt emotion now seems childishly overwrought. But that's not only part of the job, it's part of growing as a writer and a person.
The anniversaries of 9/11, especially the imminent marking of 10 years past that day, are annual cases where I look back and find just those things in my own writing. My sentences were clunky, my emotions were unchanneled. I was at a loss for words to publicly express what I felt in the face of a horrific attack that had once been unimaginable. Oddly, it was my private emails to family back home in Kentucky and Indiana — describing life in the city in the days following the attacks, with armed soldiers on downtown street corners and the blanket of politeness that settled over all of us — where I actually found some part of my voice.
The annual remembrances of 9/11 stoke many of those emotional memories — a rare moment where being an American outweighed all of our other identities, when those like Jerry Falwell who attempted to divide by laying blame on LGBT people at home were pushed even further to the fringe, when even the most skeptical among us found themselves believing that everything is different now.
There are many lessons to draw from 9/11 and its aftermath — you'll find them being debated in your newspapers, websites and television over the next week. For me, though, the biggest lesson is the simplest one: that perfect peace and harmony can never last. Ten years later, as we reflect on a moment that brought us all together, we seem further apart than ever.
That's part of being human and, really, part of being an American. We're not going to be a perfectly harmonious people because we have lots of inharmonious ideas. That's no excuse for the level of vituperation currently on display in our politics, but it is a reminder that conflict is part of the cost of participation in society. Reasoned conflict, we would hope, but still conflict.
As the California Supreme Court was listening to arguments about legal standing in the ongoing Proposition 8 case, one gay blogger tweeted, "Raise yer paw if UR totally fucking sick of watching your right to exist being debated." On one, deeply emotional level, I totally fucking agree with that. It's a depressing and dehumanizing thing to sit and listen as anti-gay bigots like Maggie Gallagher dismiss our lives as irrelevant. Hearing those argument repeated ad nauseum in courts, legislatures and Republican presidential campaigns takes a toll on the psyche.
But it's a painful and necessary process. There is no magic bullet, no special event or tragedy that will instantly grant us full equality. It takes work, work that goes back decades to pioneers such as Frank Kameny, and will likely stretch another few decades into the future. Yet even in this divided society and culture, we've come an incredible distance, further than I ever would have imagined when still a closeted, rural teen.
We may have wrongly wanted to believe that everything would be different after the 9/11 attacks. But while everything may not be, some things are. Change does happen, even though it can be a long, ugly and hurtful process. But it can also be joyful, as we've seen in New York's marriage jubilations and I expect to see on Sept. 20 when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" finally expires.
We can't have perfect harmony, but we can still make the world a better place.

We have to say, the name of this Vasanti Flash Effect Loose Powder Radiance ($24) isn't really selling it. Nobody puts their best face forward in the harsh light of a camera flash unless you dig that red-eyed, washed-out, shiny-in-the-wrong-places look. Luckily, this powder brightens and illuminates skin rather than harshly spotlighting every imperfection.

This tank top ($48) celebrates the Oxford Dictionaries 2013 Word of the Year. (Surely they made a tank for "GIF" in 2012 and "squeezed middle" for 2011.) Though perhaps it's not a trendy top, but a conceptual piece, commenting on the fact that every time you (and your shirt) are viewed by another person, you're always "posing" - even if you don't have a phone stretched out in front of you. We are never not ready for selfies. Whoa.

The independent containership owner and manager purchased the vessels for $195.6 million.
The U.S. Commerce Department's International Trade Administration released a report Wednesday, showing that 92 percent of more than $1.3 trillion worth of U.S. goods exported in 2015 were likely affected by foreign technical regulations.
The Arab ocean carrier's shareholders would own 28 percent of the combined company, while the existing shareholders of Hapag-Lloyd would own 72 percent of the new company.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The French ocean carrier transported 2.9 percent more containers, but saw the average freight rate tumble 17.6 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2015.
The freight forwarding arm of Danish shipping conglomerate AP Moller Maersk said it will provide weighing and data transmission services to help shippers comply with new SOLAS verified gross mass requirements.
The A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, parent company of Danish liner carrier Maersk Line, has named Soren Skou as its new chief executive officer.

The teenaged years can be fraught with all sorts of issues. Acne shouldn't be one of them. We received a sample of Oxy Clinical and enlisted a 15-year-old reviewer to tell us what he thought. In his own words:
Being an athlete is part of most young people's lives. As an athlete myself, I know the fun and adventures that come with it. There are also some sacrifices that come with being an athlete. Acne usually accompanies athletics. Even kids who choose not to play sports get pimples and zits.
I was on a AAA hockey team that had us getting up four days a week at 5:30 A.M. for practice and weight training and running everyday after school. On the weekends we would travel to play games in such cities as Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis. Along with all this we had a heavy load of homework to take up almost all the spare time we had. This lifestyle kept constant stress and pressure to perform on and off the ice.
My skin has been pretty clear naturally. But as soon as the rigors of the season started this didn't hold true. This is where Oxy Clinical came in. All of the items were easy to use and very fast which was adherent to my schedule. I noticed that zits were cleared up the next day. The Oxy Clinical clearing treatment, advanced face wash, and hydrating therapy exceeded my expectations. They worked just as fast or faster then promised.
I did notice that when I had it on and was sweating profusely that there was a little tingling sensation on my face. I don't know if this was just the product blocking sweat or something else. One way to avoid that would be to not apply the product prior to a heavy workout. Overall Oxy Clinical is a great product for clearing acne quickly and efficiently. It works. Using Oxy Clinical meant there was one less thing I had to worry about: acne. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.
If you'l like to give Oxy Clinical a try, visit their website and click the icon for the sample.

Tablets tend to take the computing world by storm. A case in point is the newly released Apple iPad Mini (4) and Microsoft Surface (Pro 3/4) , making the late October rather busy. Apparently, no matter Apple iPad Mini or Microsoft Surface is poised to duke it out over the touch-screen tablet world. In this site you will find iPad Mini VS Surface tablet review and specification of the two most talked about tablets, so that you can have a better understanding of iPad Mini and Surface tablet.
Before reviewing and comparing iPad Mini and Surface tablet, you can have a brief look at:
1. Screen: what's the size and video resolution? Wanna a stunning screen to enjoy Hollywood movies thereon?
2. Operating system: Are you apt to iOS-based system or Android-based system?
3. Processor: Is it single, dual or quad core? Is it fast enough to handle your tasks?
4. Battery: Does it last long enough for you to browse, read, write, message, etc?
5. Price: It is cheap enough for you to afford? Is it worth you buying?
Here is detailed review and comparison between iPad Mini and Surface tablet.
Hot Search: iPhone 6S vs iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Pro vs Surface Pro 3, iPad Pro vs iPad Air 2, iPad Air 3 vs iPad Air 2
Before the tablet comparison, let's first talk about the screen size and resolution. As we know, portability is paramount for a good tablet, while responsive touchscreen with wonderful display resolution is a necessary, particularly for watching movies and videos.
Apple iPad Mini uses the screen sized 7.9 inches, which means getting hands-on with the iPad mini could just as easily be called a "hand-on" since it's so easy to hold one-handed, and tap with the other. Its 1,024 x 768 screen with a density of 163 ppi delivers the same iPad experience users have come to expect. Microsoft Surface comes with 10.6-inch screen, which is larger than a standard 10.1-inch tablet on the other. What is interesting is that Microsoft Surface also features a cover of the keyboard. Of course, the screen size is considered appropriate. In the mean time, a resolution of 1,366x768 pixels with a density of 208 ppi is the right choice.
Although you definitely want a lightweight device, it's up to you to decide whether you want a larger and stunning screen or a more portable tablet.
Second, operating system shall be taken into consideration when doing iPad Mini VS Surface tablet review. This miniature iPad adopts Apple's new iOS operating system 6, while Surface presents the new operating system Windows version 8, touting a beautiful new user interface and a wide range of applications with the grand opening of the Windows Store.
Tips: iOS 9 vs iOS 8, iOS 9 update problems, downgrade iOS9 to iOS8
Perhaps the most important thing when reviewing and comparing the two tablets is the processor. iPad Mini features power-efficient A5 chip, which makes everything you feel smooth and natural, like swiping from page to page, switching from app to app, editing photos, playing games and watching movies, while still providing all-day battery life. On the other hand, Surface provides two versions including RT and Pro. Microsoft Surface 32GB (with Touch Cover) runs on a powerful Quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor along with a hefty 2GB RAM while the Pro version is equipped with dual-core Intel Core i5.
Battery is also something to look at. Even under heavy use, iPad Mini still lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge. So you can message, watch, play, and create whatever you want. The battery of Microsoft Surface only carries you at least eight hours. But what is impressive is that if you leave it sitting for hours or even days on end, the battery will show little if any signs of expenditure and the battery charges quickly, and can be completely topped off in two hours.
Tips: Save battery life for iOS 8 devices
Price is probably the most concerned part among geeks, especially on a tight budget. So in the iPad Mini VS Surface tablet review, you can get this information here. iPad mini with Wi-Fi models will be available in black & slate or white & silver on Friday, November 2, for a suggested retail price of $329 (US) for the 16GB model and $429 (US) for the 32GB model. At the same time, Microsoft Surface RT will be available a starting price tag of $499 for the 32GB version sans Touch Cover and $599 for the same version bundled with a black Touch Cover.
The two tablets are fairly matched through iPad Mini VS Surface tablet review. But one thing for sure is that no matter Apple iPad Mini or Microsoft Surface, the two tablets do offer us prominent visual experience. If you want to make utmost out of the gadgets and put your cherished DVD movies on iPad Mini and Surface for enjoyment on the move, MacX DVD Ripper Pro gives you a hand and decrypt and rip DVD to a flood of formats that are optimized for your iPad (iPad Mini included), Surface, iPhone (iPhone 5 included), iPod, etc with a wink.

TC TO JANE WELSH CARLYLE ; 7 October 1847; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18471007-TC-JWC-01; CL 22: 119-121
Scotsbrig, 7 Octr (Thursday Evg) 1847
I rather expected, among other things, a Note from the Speddings today; but none has come. However, I said, "Unless you write"; so I daresay it is all right still, tho' an express affirmative would have been more satisfactory than this assent by silence. If they do not meet me at Wigton tomorrow, you are nearly certain to hear; for I shall have to wait somewhere before readjusting myself, and to write poor Goody a word of my disappointment will be a solace to me: but if they do, and all go on right, and as rapidly as we may expect, you will probably hear nothing,—you may take nothing for the favourablest tidings I have to send.
At post-time today I got a real fright: no Letters at all came, except one, evidently very hurried and very brief, from the Dr: it struck my wise head that you were fallen suddenly quite ill again, and that this must be an express! For it was written, in character and substance, as if with a shovel, with a Baker's mop, or a street besom; and included only half a page:—happily it turned out to be some blotch of a Message about Books on Dante; bad enough when my trunk was all packed, but good and almost welcome in comparison with what I had been apprehending. Tell the galloping Sage that I handed down the old dusty Box he described, and searched thro' all the Books; but with all the intellect I was master of, could discover nothing of the thing he calls "Bargigi 1 large vol. 8 vo,"1—I discovered a dreary dead old folio (small folio) answering the description otherwise, and packed it in by guess: bought from Rolandi, the property once of one "Letham" (I think),2 and without title-page of any kind, or trace of "Bargigi" discoverable anywhere in it. Of the other two I was moderately certain, but only of one quite certain: the deuce take all orders that the human intellect (in a day of packing) cannot understand! At bottom I privately believe that all is right, for the august Translator, nevertheless.
Till noon today it rained a very deluge; rain all the way from yesterday morning, four-and-twenty hours and odd: the brooks have all become rivers, and the Cauldron here is roaring like a little Niagara: after noon, it ceased, and the sun broke out again "quite coamfortable," as if nothing whatever had happened. For everybody's sake, especially for my Mother's I am very glad; and will hope tomorrow too may be dry.
I have about done all my packing; the "honeycomb" too is in, safe and snug! My Mother would insist on sending you a pair of coarse knit stockings (tho' I said you could never wear them), and two Missionary Narratives, which even I could not here be persuaded to read! Good old Mother. I am to write your name on them at Chelsea, and say "from her old withered Mother."— — Item there are two Hams here, lying in a barrel among sawdust; said to be very fat and good. Specify concerning them, and concerning the Meal and Butter.
Among my acquisitions at Dumfries, the day before yesterday, was a respectable—horse-cloth, or rug for wrapping feet in: I expect to profit by it in the cold air between this and Chelsea.— Heigho! or "Oh Whow!" as Graham phrases it. I am in a sad crowdie of emotions and confusions outer and inner at this moment; have to shave overnight, dress in haste, and be across a mile beyond Ecclefechan at 20 minutes to 7 tomorrow morning; after which a day of whirling, haggling and hurlyburly, not pleasant to contemplate. God bless thee my poor little Bairn! Yours ever
T. Carlyle

Aether Searcher is one of the newest Magic: The Gathering cards from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion set Conspiracy. This rare artifact creature's power level is highly contingent upon what card you draft after it.
Aether Searcher - 7
Artifact Creature - Construct (Rare)
Reveal Aether Searcher as you draft it. Reveal the next card you draft and note its name.
When Aether Searcher enters the battlefield, you may search your hand and/or library for a card with a name noted as you drafted cards named Aether Searcher. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. If you searched your library this way, shuffle it.
Seven mana for a 6/4 that can be played in any limited deck isn't too special, however the ability to get another free spell is what pushes Aether Searcher into a very powerful card. Bet it another threat or removal spell, Aether Searcher can potentially help turn around a game in your favor.
A couple interesting things to note about Aether Searcher:
Aether Searcher says "a name noted as you drafted cards named Aether Searcher." That means if you've somehow managed to draft more than one Aether Searcher you'll be able to find either card you've name and drafted after Aether Searcher. Options are always good.
It may be wise to choose a common with Aether Searcher. That's because you'll have a greater chance of picking up more than one of the same common in draft. There's nothing worse than casting Aether Searcher and having the card you've named already on the battlefield or in your graveyard.
How will you use Aether Searcher?

Episode 2. I Have a Name! William Temple Franklin!
I have not yet related the conversation I had with Uncle Richard after we left the State House on May 10. To my surprise, he had suggested that instead of going home we repair to the City Tavern for a little refreshment. Grandfather, sorry to have so little time for me, had given Uncle Richard some money to treat me to a good time.
Quite a place, this City Tavern. My well informed companion explained that when it opened, about two years ago, it offered a combination of "club and pub." Club, because it was financed by selling shares to the upper class Philadelphians yearning for a genteel meeting place, and pub, because the atmosphere and fare were modeled on London. It is already famous for being the finest tavern in the colonies, equipped with a spacious room for balls and banquets, or even for concerts and operas. So much for my earlier remark that Philadelphia has no concert hall! This city, I must admit, is much more exciting than I expected.
We sat down and, without consulting me, my uncle ordered two everlasting syllabubs.
— "Two what?"
— "Syllabubs, the favorite treat of Philadelphians."
— "Lucky you!" interjected the waitress, a girl about my age, pretty and blonde under her frilly bonnet. "A syllabub is the best drink in the world."
— "What's in it?"
— "Everything. Lots of thick cream and Rhine wine and sack — that's white wine from Spain — and the juice of Seville oranges and the grated rinds of lemon and quantities of double-refined sugar and a spoonful of orange-flower water." She caught her breath and prepared to tell us how this marvel is put together, preferably in advance, but I stopped listening because she had dimples when she smiled, and suddenly I could think of nothing but those dimples.
She saw me gawking, looked amused, and disappeared.
— "Let's talk," said my uncle. "Is there anything you would like to know?"
— "Yes. Once again, what's happening with my father? Doesn't he want to meet me?"
— "Temple, it is time you understood that men in public life like to moan and groan that their duties keep them from their families, which is their terrible, terrible fate. But, as soon as circumstances let them go back to those beloved families, all they aspire to do is get themselves once again in the limelight while pretending to pine, of course, for the sweetness of family life. Your father is to deliver a speech on May 15 to the New Jersey Assembly, and then he has to meet with his Council for a few days, after which he will surely come for you and take you away for the summer. You will have the whole summer to get acquainted."
Although Uncle Richard spoke calmly, I thought there was a touch of bitterness in his voice. He will never be a public man; he is a merchant, and not a very successful one at that, if one is to judge by the penny-pinching practices of Aunt Sally.
— "Do you have any idea," I ask, "what my father is going to talk about when he speaks to the Assembly?"
— "He will sing the same old song about his prowess in managing to serve both the King and the Colony at the same time. He will preach reconciliation with the British Empire and probably push the Plan of Union advocated by his friend and ally, Joseph Galloway."
The girl reappeared at that moment with two large bowls and gave me the fuller one, after which she stood there, watching me. How could I bring back the dimples? What should I do? I had to make her laugh. With exaggerated expressions of surprise and delight, I inhaled the frothy top of my syllabub and emitted groans of bliss while she giggled and the dimples returned, more alluring than ever. But alas, she was promptly summoned to another table and we went back to Mr. Galloway.
My uncle explained that Galloway was born into a prominent and well-to-do family. He had met my father when they were both in their twenties. It seems that my father, who had distinguished himself in the French and Indian War and planned a military career, was in danger of becoming an idle and frivolous young man after the peace treaty was signed, a prospect that Grandfather could not stand to contemplate. Galloway, who had studied law, was entrusted with teaching its basics to William in preparation for further studies at one of the Inns of Court in London.
— "Galloway and your father remained close friends and became, so to say, the legal team employed by your grandfather in the course of his political life. They helped the older man in his fight to have the Crown take control of Pennsylvania, thus taking power away from the descendants of William Penn, those Proprietors whom Dr. Franklin had come to detest. Even though Galloway is devoid of interest in scientific matters and has a cold and haughty personality, your grandfather feels that he brought important assets to the partnership: his seriousness, his impeccable social credentials, his knowledge, and his talent as an orator. For many years, while Dr. Franklin was in England, Galloway served him well as a trusted lieutenant across the Ocean, but now..."
"But now?" Uncle Richard was searching for the right words. "But now, he is the victim of his unbending nature. He has done very well, politically speaking: member of the Pennsylvania Assembly for 20 years, its Speaker for nine — and that is a position of great power. He headed the Pennsylvania delegation to the first Continental Congress. While he recognized that the colonies had some reason to resent the restrictions imposed by England on American commerce, and also to resent the taxes imposed by Parliament, his solution for reconciliation was rejected. He is a man who cannot accept defeat, and my hunch is that any day now he may walk out of the current Congress."
(Uncle Richard was right when he predicted this on May 10; Galloway stalked out two days ago, on the 12th.)
— "And my father?"
— "In your father's eyes, both last year's Continental Congress and the one which we saw convene today are illegal. What your father would like to see is American representation in Parliament right in London. It is an attractive idea but unlikely to be adopted. Well-trained lawyers that they are, your father and Galloway see everything in legalistic terms. They are no longer in touch with the feelings of a growing part of the population; they live in a world of theory."
— "And Grandfather?"
— "I think that in his mind he understood long ago that reconciliation is a hopeless cause, but in his heart he still nurtures a tiny hope, because he has loved England so much. Unlike many other people, he believes that only stiff resistance can produce a compromise. I remember him quoting an Italian proverb: `He who turns himself into a sheep is eaten by the wolf.' And that is why all his energy these days goes into preparing the nation for war. He wants the British to understand that time is running out and that they had better wake up and negotiate in good faith. But what your grandfather has not yet grasped is how far his beloved son and his beloved Galloway have diverged from him, they who used to follow all his instructions unquestioningly. I am afraid, Temple, that he is in for a terrible disappointment."
My uncle then stood up, shook my hand, and said he had enjoyed talking to me, man to man. The thought of my grandfather possibly being so badly hurt in the near future gave me a heavy heart, but then I started thinking of ways to see the dimpled girl again, and I felt better. I am only 15, after all.

It's been a long, hard fight in the state of Indiana for marriage equality, but on Wednesday, that fight was rewarded. According to a report by the Associated Press, a federal judge struck down Indiana's ban on same-sex marriage. The ruling means that gay couples in the state can wed immediately.
The victory in the state of Indiana is the latest in a string of rulings by federal judges throughout the nation that has ruled a state marriage ban as unconstitutional. The ruling also comes a day before the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
U.S. District Judge Richard Young rode the momentum of same-sex marriage victories as he ruled that the state's ban violates the U.S. Constitution's equal-protection clause because it discriminates against couples based on their sexual orientation. He wrote, "Same-sex couples, who would otherwise qualify to marry in Indiana, have the right to marry in Indiana. These couples, when gender and sexual orientation are taken away, are in all respects like the family down the street. The Constitution demands that we treat them as such."
Indiana's attorney general's office is expected to appeal the ruling, but an appeal may depend on the rulings involving other states where gay marriage bans were struck down and are currently being appealed. Several gay couples represented by national gay rights group, Lambda Legal, originally filled the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the ban. After the decision was handed down, Lambda Legal said, "Indiana now joins the momentum for nationwide marriage equality and Hoosiers can now proclaim they are on the right side of history."
Until an appeal is officially filed, gay couples in the state of Indiana will be lining up at county clerk offices to obtain marriage licenses. Marion County Clerk Beth White Marion County is already gearing up to grant those licenses. On Wednesday, it wasn't just a victory for same-sex marriage; it was a victory for marriage. As Young stated in his ruling, "in time, Americans will look at the marriage of couples such as plaintiffs, and refer to it simply as marriage – not a same-sex marriage."

PhotoPlus Expo 2014: Mylio Launches with Mission to Reunite Photos Wherever They Are
A new software company founded by former Microsoft executives is taking aim at what it views as a signature problem plaguing modern photography–images spread across multiple platforms, often disorganized and frequently unprotected.
Their solution, Mylio, is a mobile and desktop software solution that can monitor and replicate images across a user's devices including external drives and cloud services. Once your device is loaded with the software, your entire image library is accessible, even if you're offline. Using its software, Mylio says it can compress a RAW files as large as 100MB down to just a 1MB editable image for viewing and accessing on mobile devices. Your original RAW files will remain unchanged on your hard drive. You can make non-destructive edits to images in Mylio and those changes will propagate instantly across your entire collection on every device.
Mylio presents you with a photo-driven view of your entire image collection. From this unified view you can also tag, organize and make non-destructive edits that will instantly propagate across all of your devices. If you need to do more serious editing work, you can open images into your photo-editor of choice.
Given this bird's-eye-view of your photo collection, Mylio can also judge which photos are unprotected according to its 3:2 principle (an image is protected when there are three copies made in two separate locations). Armed with this knowledge, you can quickly identify which photos need a little extra security.
The service is billing itself as cloud and device agnostic though at launch will only support iOS mobile devices and Mac and PC desktops. Android support is coming soon. It will use a tiered pricing structure based on the number and type of images in your collection as well as the number of devices you want to link with the software.
Plans start at $50/year for a library of 25,000 JPEG photos stored across three devices and span up to $100/year for 50,000 RAW and JPEG photos on five devices or $250/year for libraries as large as 500,000 RAW and JPEG images across 10 devices. You can kick the tires for free with a plan that unites three devices and monitors 1,000 images.

The third edition of the festival will focus on promoting the music industry in the North-Eastern states of the country.
The Eastern Beats Music Society was established in 2009 with the intention of bringing together musicians, writers, artistes, journalists, theatre workers, sportsmen and working professionals from various disciplines, and connecting more people who work in these fields through events. The establishment of the society led to events like the Freedom Jam, an impromptu jam that took place in Guwahati at the Commerce College point, to alleviate the fears and anxieties citizens were experiencing through the medium of live music. The crowning glory in the society's repertoire of events though came in 2011 when they organised the first edition of the Guwahati International Music Festival.
The first edition of the Guwahati International Music Festival saw performances by Guru Rewben Mashangva, Lucid Recess, tributes to the late Bhupen Hazarika and performances by many other Indian classical and international musicians. Amongst the international bands, viewers caught the likes of Abhaya and The Steam Injuns from Nepal and British harmonica player Brendan Power, among others. The free concert, held at Shilpgram in Guwahati, was received warmly and set the stage for the second edition of the festival.
The second edition of the festival featured a more extensive lineup of acts that came together and the star performer for the event was renowned tabla player Bickram Ghosh. Apart from Ghosh, the festival also saw performances by USA-based drummer Greg Ellis, Mizoram's Scavenger Project and many more. The second edition of the festival was also well-recieved and saw them reach a wider audience. Both editions of the festival also saw various lectures and workshops being conducted on subjects related to music and culture. The festival also saw an exploration of regional food, with special menus being curated by chefs for the occasion.
The third edition of the festival has now been announced and will take place around the end of the November, this year. The organisers have started calling for entries, asking bands or musicians who wish to perform at the showcase to send in their profiles and demos to easternbeatsmusicsociety at gmail dot com. People interested in conducting lectures or workshops can also send in their profiles with information regarding what they wish to speak about to the same address. We spoke to organiser Aiyushman Dutta to get a better idea of what the third edition of the festival will be like
We want to represent all types of genres in this edition of the festival, like we always have. Every year, we also make all the artists stay together at one place so as to facilitate a huge amount of networking which can result in the mounting of a fusion production at the end of the festival. With the third edition of the festival, our thrust will be more on the theoretical aspects of how to promote the music industry in the North-East. We are planing to get together the policy makers and performers from all the states to come and create a dialogue so we can start building a roadmap for the same purpose. We also want to explore how we can promote the industries allied to music (such as publishing, labels, management, events) and create a plan that will benefit the area in general. There is a lot of talent that needs promotion here and this year, we wish to see how we can manage that.
Entries to participate in the festival will be received until late July and a tentative list of performers will also be released by next month. Keep watching this space for more from the Guwahati International Music Festival 2013. In the mean time, check out a video of Guru Rewben Mashangva, tabla player Rishii Chowdhury and guitarist Edwin Fernandes jamming at the festival below.

Escaped Ark. inmates may have hid blade in folder
Authorities are investigating whether two escaped murder suspects may have been slipped a hacksaw thin enough to conceal inside the folders
By Suzi Parker
Reuters via The Chicago Tribune
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Authorities in Arkansas are investigating whether two escaped murder suspects may have been slipped a hacksaw thin enough to conceal inside the folders that inmates carry to court hearings and that law enforcement officials are not allowed to inspect.
That is one theory being examined as part of an investigation that also involves a look at whether any sheriff's office employees were involved in the Monday jail escape, Miller County Sheriff Ron Stovall said Friday.
Authorities are also evaluating new safety procedures including the transporting of inmates, Stovall said.
Quincy Vernard Stewart, 36, and his cellmate Cortez Rashod Hooper, 23, were caught on Thursday night less than two miles from the Miller County Sheriff's Detention Center in Texarkana, Ark. Authorities are investigating how Charlene Stewart, the mother of one of the inmates, managed to slip a hacksaw to her son.

I have recently moved to Arizona from Ky. I can not find the Red Plum inserts here. I have gone to their website and it says they are not avaiable here. I have used a coupon clipping service before but cant remember which one. Do you have one that you recomment? Also, I went to Target today. I ask if they had a sales ad with coupons. The guy at the counter was clueless. Do they have a paper every week with coupons in it? When I used the last coupon clipping service they had sent 5 red plum, 5 proctor and gamble, 5 smart source and 5 target inserts for 10 and change. Any ideals?

One of the great deals at WonderCon is Insight Editions at booth 1109. Insight Editions "Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros" which just came out in March 2014 sold out quickly. Listed at $65 in the catalog, you can still get it for $40 by ordering it at Wondercon (contiguous U.S. customers only).
Get your credit card ready and line up because this pop-up book is intensely complicated (you might need instructions on how to fold it back up). The paper engineering is by Matthew Reinhart and if you're lucky enough to have his best-selling "Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy" you'll know how creative he is. Hugo Award-nominee Michael Komarck is the illustrator.
This special deal is good until Sunday when WonderCon closes.
Godzilla fans will also want to head the advice of sales and marketing director Byron Parnell. According to Parnell, Insight Editions "Godzilla: The Art of Destruction" may come out on May 13 (the movie premieres on 16 May 2014), but the books are selling out. Preorder now. The 11 x 10 hardcover costs $45 (ISBN: 978-1-60887-344-9) but the first run of 25,000 has already sold out and the second printing of 7,500 is nearly gone. "Order wherever you buy books," Parnell advised.
Try Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
The book is illustrated by Mark Cotta Vaz who authored the "Twilight Saga companion books as well as the award-winning "The Invisible Art : The Legends of Movie Matt Paintings" (co-authored with Oscar-winning filmmaker and Academy Governor Craig Barron). With 156 pages and 5 inserts, this book also features interviews with the director and cast members.
Other books worth checking out at this booth include "Harry Potter: Page to Screen" and "The World According to" series with Spider-Man, Wolverine and Batman ($24.95 each). These hardcover books are like pop culture autobiographical scrapbooks for a particular Super Hero or...Super Villain. "The World According to the Joker" is also in the works.
If you can't make it to Wondercon in Anaheim this weekend, then you can order online (but not at the discounted price) at Insight Editions or Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble. More discounts may come from Insight Editions for San Diego Comic-con.

Things in the WWE heading into "Wrestlemania 30" have been completely thrown out of whack thanks to CM Punk quitting the company. Between him leaving and the fans hijacking shows because they are unhappy with the current direction, the WWE is changing things on the fly. According to PWS on Feb. 8, Triple H will still wrestle at "Wrestlemania 30," but there are questions about who he will wrestle.
The original "Wrestlemania 30" plans were for Triple H to face CM Punk, Randy Orton to defend his WWE World Championship against Batista and Daniel Bryan to inexplicably face Sheamus.
However, with CM Punk quitting the company and the fans not giving up on Daniel Bryan and chanting his name during the Randy Orton vs. John Cena "Royal Rumble" match as well as during Batista winning the Royal Rumble, the WWE is re-thinking things.
One plan the WWE had was to have The Shield either break up or have Triple H punish them by making them fight each other in a three way match at "Wrestlemania 30." While thinking of a match where Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose battled is exciting, the Daniel Bryan chants may end that.
The WWE is considering adding Daniel Bryan to the WWE World Championship match, and if they do that they do not want two three way matches on the same show. That would eliminate the match with The Shield.
If that happens, there are talks of having Triple H battle Roman Reigns at "Wrestlemania 30," which could be huge because a win over Triple H could catapult Reigns to the main event. If the three way for the world title does not happen, the most likely match for Triple H will be against Daniel Bryan, which would give Bryan a chance for revenge after the last year.

The Stanley Cup playoffs were once a pipe dream for the Philadelphia Flyers. But on April 17, the Flyers played Game 1 of a postseason they looked eons away from making when the season started. Unfortunately, they opened their Stanley Cup playoff quest in New York, where the New York Rangers always seem to beat Philadelphia -- and did again with a dominant third period in Game 1.
The 4-1 margin of victory for the Rangers was both misleading and accurate all at once. The Flyers had an early 1-0 lead and were still tied at 1-1 seven minutes into the third period. Yet the Rangers had far more chances, as they would go on to outshoot the Flyers by 36-15, with replacement goalie Ray Emery keeping Philadelphia afloat longer than it should have been.
The floodgates finally opened when the Flyers' Jason Akeson cut the Rangers' Carl Hagelin with a high stick, drawing a four-minute penalty. Yet New York only needed 47 seconds to take a two goal lead, as Brad Richards and Derek Stepan made Philadelphia pay dearly. If that wasn't enough, Hagelin himself later scored the insurance goal to cap things off for the Rangers.
With no offensive production and ill-timed penalties, the Flyers harkened back to the ugly start that made them have to catch fire just to reach the Stanley Cup playoffs. But it was nothing new for them at Madison Square Garden, as the Rangers stretched their winning streak over Philadelphia in New York to nine games. Given that the Rangers have home ice advantage and a potential Game 7 at the Garden, this streak will have to end very soon for the Flyers to advance.
Philadelphia will hope to get Steve Mason back from injury and back in net for a boost soon, although Emery did all he could to keep Game 1 close. Henrik Lundqvist didn't need to break much of a sweat on the other end, but if he does later in the series, New York should feel confident -- as long as it faces the Flyers in the Garden, anyway.
The Flyers will look to get more disciplined and break their losing streak in New York -- and stop its overall five-game Stanley Cup playoff losing streak -- in Game 2 on April 20 at noon est.

David Joel: Eastern Truth
Eastern Truth
David Joel (guitar)
Spiral Sky (David Joel))
David Joel (guitar),
John Stenger (keyboards), Paul Gehman (bass), Dan Monaghan (drums).
Composed by David Joel.
Recorded: Philadelphia, PA, August 2005-February 2007
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
I can't believe I'm going to write this: it was the keyboard solo that drew me in. This may not make me any friends in the world of jazz keyboards, but the very word "keyboards" is often a deal breaker for me when scanning the musician lineup of an otherwise unknown CD. This isn't because keyboards always ruin the mix. No, the problem is Smooth Jazz – you're safe from that realm if the keys have been left out. See? Logic! I'm just being honest here.
So right in the middle of this slinky blues, guitarist David Joel steps back and lets keyboardist John Stenger take this great, textured, atmospheric, out solo. Stenger takes the main theme and runs it through his "fun house mirrors" patch. It makes the bass solo and subsequent restatement of the head seem all the more exotic. Fantastic stuff.

Almost 36 years ago, Lodi police Capt. Carl "Smokey" Summers was killed in the line of duty at age 30.
On Sunday, the community will gather to honor him and to raise money for a memorial in Lodi's Central Park.
"I've been wanting to do this for a long time," said Carl Summer's brother, Dave Summers, 54, who's organizing the event.
Summers said the main event Sunday will be a police-escorted motorcycle run, starting 1 p.m. at Century Harley-Davidson, 3053 Eastpointe Drive, Medina Township. The procession will end at the cemetery in Lodi where Carl Summers is buried.
Carl Summers died Dec. 10, 1977 — five days after he was hit by a stolen pickup while on duty. The driver was among three men suspected of stealing vehicles in Wayne County.
Dave Summers said he got the idea for the memorial motorcycle run from a similar event held for Josh Miktarian, a Twinsburg officer who was killed in 2008.
"I just thought, 'This is it,' " Summers said. "I'm going to do this for my brother if it's the last thing I do."
Registration begins at 11:30 a.m. and costs $10 per rider and $5 per passenger to join. Refreshments will be provided.
In Lodi, two restaurants are participating in the fundraising.
Old Route 42 Diner, 810 Bank St., will donate all proceeds between 2 and 6 p.m. to the fund. The diner normally is open until 2 p.m. Sundays.
Rod Nedley, who runs the diner with his wife, Gina, said all orders during that time will cost $6.06, in memory of the captain's badge number: 606.
"It's about doing the right thing, especially for a cause like this," Nedley said. "Every day, those guys are out there putting their lives on the line. Unfortunately, Carl lost his, so we should honor that."
Another restaurant, Moxies Grille, 700 Medina St., will donate 10 percent of the day's proceeds. Moxies normally is closed Sundays but will be open for this event.

The victories launched Arizona into the Top 10 for the first time since the 2002 season.
On the season, the Wildcats are led by senior Kim Glass , who averages 4.62 kills, 3.04 digs and 0.85 blocks per game. Senior Jennifer Abernathy adds 4.09 kills, 3.23 digs and 0.38 service aces per game, while senior Bre Ladd averages 2.26 kills and 1.09 blocks per game.

POLL POSITION: Arizona has been ranked in the Top 25 in 110 of the last 119 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Polls. The nine-week lapse occurred during the 2003 season.
The Wildcats' No. 8 ranking this week is the team's best since being selected No. 6 in the 2002 preseason poll. The last time Arizona was ranked this high during the season was on Dec. 3, 2001, when the Wildcats were No. 4.
BAUM NAMED AVCA NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Junior Kristina Baum, a 6-2 opposite hitter, was chosen as the Sports Imports/American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division I National Player of the Week after leading the Wildcats to victories over No. 3 Stanford and No. 13 California. Baum hit .383 for the week with averages of 4.12 points, 3.50 kills, 2.62 digs and 0.62 blocks per game. Baum is the third Wildcat to earn the national honor, and the first since Jennifer Abernathy was selected on Nov. 3, 2002.
BAUM NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Arizona opposite Kristina Baum was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for Oct. 10-16. Baum, a junior from Whittier, Calif., helped lead the Wildcats to wins over No. 3 Stanford and No. 13 California. In the upset over the Cardinal, she posted career highs with 17 kills and 13 digs, her second double-double of the season. Against the Golden Bears, she posted 11 kills and added eight digs. Baum averaged 3.50 kills and 2.62 digs last weekend, well above the 2.30 kills and 1.75 digs she had been averaging heading into last weekend's matches. It was Baum's first weekly honor and Arizona's 23rd Player of the Week honor all-time.
RANKING IN THE PAC: Individually, several Wildcats rank in the Top 10 in the conference in various statistical categories. Senior Kim Glass leads the Pac-10 in points per game (5.57) and kills per game (4.62), and ranks 10th in service aces per game (0.38). Senior Bre Ladd is sixth in service aces per game (0.42), seventh in hitting percentage (.355) and 10th in blocks per game (1.09). Senior Jennifer Abernathy ranks eighth in kills per game (4.09) and 10th in points per game (4.82). Sophomore Dominique Lamb ranks eighth in both blocks per game (1.17) and hitting percentage (.32). Junior Kristina Baum is ninth in hitting percentage (.341), while sophomore Amy Dyck is sixth in assists per game (11.16). Freshman Brittany Leonard is eighth in digs per game (3.57).
CONFERENCE ACTIVE CAREER LEADERS: Arizona boasts several of the Pac-10's active career statistical leaders. Senior Kim Glass is the current leader in kills (1,771) and service aces (138), and ranks seventh in digs (972). Fellow senior Bre Ladd ranks second in blocks (395), third in service aces (102) and seventh in kills (979). Jennifer Abernathy ranks ninth in kills (938), while setter Stephanie Butkus ranks third in assists (2,680).
DOUBLE-DOUBLES: Senior Kim Glass leads the Wildcats with nine double-doubles this season, while senior Jennifer Abernathy has five. Sophomore setter Amy Dyck has three, while junior Kristina Baum has two.
DOMINATING AT McKALE: Arizona has won all seven of its home matches this season, sweeping six of seven opponents. What's more, in the games the Wildcats have won, Arizona won by an average of 6.5 points. The only two games the Wildcats have dropped in McKale this season were to then-No. 3 Stanford.
WILDCATS RANK NATIONALLY IN ATTENDANCE: Arizona currently ranks No. 16 nationally in attendance with an average of 1,731. Only Washington (2,377) and Stanford (2,192) from the Pac-10 rank higher.
REACHING MILESTONES: Senior Jennifer Abernathy recorded her 100th career block last Thursday vs. Stanford and her 75th career service ace last Friday vs. Cal. Junior Kristina Baum notched her 100th career assist vs. Cal last Friday, while senior Bre Ladd recorded her 100th career service ace against Stanford last Thursday. Sophomore Amy Dyck recorded her 100th career dig against Stanford last Thursday and her 650th career assist and 50th career kill vs. Cal on Friday.
CLOSING IN: Senior Kim Glass is 29 kills away from 1,800, three assists shy of 75, 28 digs away from 1,000 and 10 blocks shy of 250 on her career. Senior Bre Ladd is 21 kills away from 1,000 28 digs shy of 300 and five blocks away from 400 on her career. Senior Jennifer Abernathy is six kills away from 650 on her career, while junior Kristina Baum is 13 kills shy of 450 and six service aces away from 50 on her career. Junior Stephanie Butkus is three digs shy of 400 on her career.
GLASS APPROACHES ELITE STATUS: With 1,771 career kills and 972 career digs, senior Kim Glass could become one of just five Wildcats ever to surpass the 1,000-kill and 1,000-dig mark. The Pennsylvania native would join Terry Lauchner (1987-1990), Barb Bell (1993-96), Jill Talbot (1998-2001) and Lisa Rutledge (1999-2002) as the only Arizona players ever to accomplish the feat. Lauchner finished her career with 1,636 kills and 1,297 digs. Bell tallied 1,859 kills and 1,046 digs. Talbot finished with 1,022 kills and 1,111 digs. Rutledge notched 1,471 kills and 1,006 digs.
THREE WILDCATS COULD SURPASS 1,000 KILLS: With senior Kim Glass well on her way to the Arizona career kills record, two other seniors, Bre Ladd and Jennifer Abernathy should surpass the 1,000-kill mark this season. Ladd currently has 979 kills, while Abernathy has 938. With 11 matches left this season, it looks as if Arizona will have three active players with 1,000 or more kills on their careers at some point this season.
GLASS' STREAKS: Senior Kim Glass has at least three kills and three digs in 98 of the 100 matches on her career. She has recorded double-digit kills in all but 10 (90 of 100) matches during her four years. In fact, she's the only player in the Pac-10 to have 10 or more kills in every match this season. With 1,771 career kills, she is 88 away from the school record, currently held by Barb Bell (1993-96).
BLOCKING MACHINE: Senior Bre Ladd has been a consistent defensive threat at the net ever since she arrived on campus in the fall of 2002. She has at least one block in 105 of 110 career matches, including 29 of 33 last season and all 16 matches this season. What's more, the Tucson native currently has 395 total blocks on her career, good for fourth place all-time at Arizona.
RUBIO BECOMES ALL-TIME WINS LEADER: With the Wildcats' victory over Connecticut on Sept. 16, Head Coach Dave Rubio notched his 259th career win at Arizona, making him the all-time winningest coach in Arizona volleyball history. The win moved him ahead of Rosie Wegrich, who coached from 1977-1991 and compiled a 258-229-9 record (.531) in 15 seasons. Rubio now boasts a career record of 267-137 (.661) in 14 years at the helm.
STACKED SCHEDULE: As always, Arizona faces a tough schedule in 2005. Included on the slate are 14 matches against teams that participated in last year's NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats will also face seven teams (Stanford, Washington, USC, UCLA, Georgia Tech, California and UC Santa Barbara) that were ranked in the preseason Top 25 in the AVCA/CSTV Coaches Poll.
TELEVISION TIME: Two of Arizona's matches this season are televised on a tape-delay basis on FSN. The Wildcats' Oct. 7 win at Arizona State (which aired on Oct. 9) and the team's home match on Nov. 18 vs. USC (which will air on Nov. 19) can be seen by a national audience on FSN.
PAC-10 POTPOURRI: With Stanford capturing the NCAA title last season, the Pac-10 has now won four consecutive national championships (Stanford in 2004 and 2001, USC in 2003 and 2002). What's more, Pac-10 teams have claimed 12 of the sport's 24 NCAA championships.
UP NEXT: Arizona hosts No. 2 Washington and Washington State next Thursday and Friday, Oct. 27-28. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in McKale.

Since there are only 10 such channels in the entire 145.8 to 145.999 satellite subband it is necessary for satellites to share frequencies. Although you will occassionally see two such satellites in view at the same time, the probabilities of collision are extremely small: PCsat to UO-11 0.6% PCsat to Starshine 0.6% Starshine to UO-11 0.06% Starshine to UO-11 0.06% UO-11 to PCsat or Starshine 3% And if you include the use of a beam and the FM capture effect, the potential for interference is even less. Yes, you may hear interference on a few orbits every few months, but out of the 1350 orbits since launch, its a very small problem compared to the advantages of saving spectrum... email@example.com, Bob PCsat WEB page http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/pcsat.html ISS-APRS FAQ: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/iss-faq.html CUBESAT Designs http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/cubesat.html APRS SATELLITES http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/astars.html ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.
