Corporate snitches have been putting members of the great American workforce into Welfare and unemployment lines for years with random drug and alcohol testing. Now, the same rat faced wolves responsible for forcing countless blue collars into poverty and destitution are back, in sheep's clothing, to teach employers how marijuana legalization will affect the workplace.
Lifeloc Technologies, which manufactures alcohol and drug testing equipment as well as provides drug free workplace training, is now infiltrating factories and offices across the United States with a new online course called "Marijuana and the Workplace."
The curriculum is essentially pot propaganda produced to scare the hell out of business owners and persuade them to ramp up their company's drug testing policies, but representative of Lifeloc say it is more about helping business owners understand the potential consequences legalized marijuana could have on their organization.
"Momentum behind Pot legalization is growing and the political, legal and business landscape is changing very quickly," said Barry Knott, president of Lifeloc. "Many employers are ill prepared to handle the legal and HR issues surfacing from the medical and personal use of marijuana as it relates to their workplace."
The "Marijuana and the Workplace" training course is strictly for Business Managers, Human Resource Professionals, and other members of the "front office" that need to be well versed in how recent marijuana laws impact their company policies, including how they apply to employee termination. (i.e. how to fire stoners)
"The course sorts out fact from fiction concerning the personal and medical use of Marijuana for the workplace," said Amy Evans, Workplace Training and Business Manager for Lifeloc. "Employers and employees alike will benefit from learning how to recognize the signs and symptoms of marijuana use, the safety concerns and what protections the law affords employers."
We at HIGH TIMES are considering the development of our own online course entitled "The Working Stoners Survival Guide: How to Keep Your Rat Faced Employer From Dry Humping You All the Way to the Unemployment Line." We will keep you posted.

As a busy individual, I am trying to figure out how I can gain leverage in my personal life in the same way I have leverage in my work life.
Online personal assistants seem to be a god-send. Inexpensive help for finding information, calling businesses to make appointments, managing a calendar and email, etc.
Problem is many of the assistants on various sites are overseas, lack local context, and require very specific instructions that can be more time consuming to write than the task itself.
Any ideas on how to successfully make use of online assistants? Specifically looking for
- Techniques: e.g. how to communicate tasks, check results, etc.
- Counter-intuitive tasks: e.g. taking a picture of your book shelf and asking them to prioritize books to read based on online reviews

Media Agenda-Building Effect: Analysis of American Public Apartheid Activities, Congressional and Presidential Policies on South Africa, 1976-1988
Date: December 1989
Creator: Agboaye, Ehikioya
Description: The mass media's role in informing the American public is critical to public support for government policies. The media are said to set the national agenda. This view is based on the assumption of selective coverage they give to news items. Media coverage also influences the salience the public attaches to issues. However, media agenda effect has been challenged by Lang and Lang (1983). These scholars, in their media agenda-building theory, argued that the success of media effect on national agenda is dependent on group support. In order to test this theory, time-related data on South Africa crises, media coverage"of South Africa, American public reactions, congressional, and presidential apartheid-related activities, between 1976 and 1988, were analyzed. Congressional anti-apartheid policies were the dependent and others, the independent variables. The theory made analysis of the data amenable to the additive adopted to test for the significance of the interactive variables, indicated that these variables were negatively related to congressional anti-apartheid policies. The additive model was subsequently analyzed. The time series multiple regression analysis was used in analyzing the relationships. Given autocorrelation and multicollinearity problems associated with time series analysis, the Arima (p, d, q) model was used to model the relationships. This ...

Planning, Budgeting, and Development in Jordan: An Examination of How These Policy Processes Function in a Poor and Uncertain Environment
Date: May 1987
Creator: Al-Lawzi, Sulieman Ahmed
Description: The purpose of this dissertation is to study the planning and budgeting processes in Jordan to determine whether the findings of Caiden and Wildavsky about those processes in other poor countries generally are applicable to Jordan. An attempt is made to answer the research questions by comparing data from national plans, budgets, and expenditures during a fifteen-year period (1970-1984). In Jordan, as in other developing nations, the role of planning and budgeting is highly significant to the success of the country's hopes for development. This research tries to evaluate the role of planning and budgeting as policy instruments in the process of development in Jordan. The second focus of the dissertation concerns the possibilities and problems of assessing the impact of governmental policies on development. Specifically, an assessment is made to determine the impact of governmental expenditures on development as evidenced in Jordan s gross national product during the last fifteen years. The following questions are addressed in order to examine the impact of government action on economic development. First, what are the impact and significance of government expenditures, as a combined measure, on the gross national product in Jordan? Second, which governmental expenditure areas provide the greatest contribution to ...

Financial Transfer and Its Impact on the Level of Democracy: A Pooled Cross-Sectional Time Series Model.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Al-Momani, Mohammad H.
Description: This dissertation is a pooled time series, cross-sectional, quantitative study of the impact of international financial transfer on the level of democracy. The study covers 174 developed and developing countries from 1976 through 1994. Through evaluating the democracy and democratization literature and other studies, the dissertation develops a theory and testable hypotheses about the impact of the international variables foreign aid and foreign direct investment on levels of democracy. This study sought to determine whether these two financial variables promote or nurture democracy and if so, how? A pooled time-series cross-sectional model is developed employing these two variables along with other relevant control variables. Control variables included the presence of the Cold War and existence of formal alliance with the United States, which account for the strategic dimension that might affect the financial transfer - level of democracy linkage. The model also includes an economic development variable (per capita Gross National Product) to account for the powerful impact for economic development on the level of democracy, as well as a control for each country's population size. By addressing and the inclusion of financial, economic, strategic, and population size effects, I consider whether change in these variables affect the level of ...

The State of Democracy in the Arab World
Date: December 1995
Creator: Al-Olimat, Muhamad S. (Muhamad Salim)
Description: This comparative study assesses the state of democracy and examines the process of democratization in the Arab World between the years 1980-1993. It addresses shortcomings in the mainstream democracy literature that excluded the Arab World from the global democratic revolution on political cultural grounds. To fulfil the objectives of this study, I employ both the qualitative and quantitative research approaches to test a number of hypothesized relationships. I hypothesize that transition to democracy is negatively associated with economic development, militarism, U.S. foreign policy, the political economy of oil, and dependency. I contend that emerging civil society institutions so far have had no significant effect on democratization in the Arab World. Finally, I hypothesize that the level of democracy in the Arab World is influenced greatly by the issue of civil rights. In order to investigate the hypothesized relationships, the following data sets have been used: Gastil's Freedom House Data set, "Repression and Freedom in the 1980s" data set, and Vanhanen's 1990 data set. The findings of this study support the aforementioned hypothesized relationships. I find that Arab countries, in general have made modest progress toward democracy, making the Arab World part of the global revolution.

The Rise and Fall of Military Regimes in the Sudan, 1956-1989
Date: December 1992
Creator: Ali Ahmed, Hassan Elhag
Description: This study attempts to explore the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of military regimes in the Sudan from independence in 1956 to 1989. Further, the study tries to identify the factors that led to the collapse of either or both civilian and military regimes. Most of the studies on military politics have focused their research on either military coups or, more recently, on military withdrawal from politics. This work tries to synthesize the study of military coups and military withdrawal from politics into a single theoretical framework.

The Threats to Compliance with International Human Rights Law
Date: December 2011
Creator: Aloisi, Rosa
Description: In this project I investigate the factors shaping compliance with international human rights agreements and I provide a definition of compliance, which goes beyond "ratification." I argue that compliance is a multistage process, built upon three different steps: ratification/accession, implementation, and what I call "compliant behavior." As an alternative to the dominant structural and normative explanation of compliance, I suggest that the factors affecting compliance are not only endogenous to state characteristics, such as the democratic/non-democratic nature of governments, but also exogenous, such as the perceived level of threat to national security. I offer a twofold theory that looks at leaders' behavior under conditions of stability and instability and I suggest that under certain circumstances that threaten and pressure government leaders, state compliance with international human rights law becomes more costly. I suggest that regardless of regime type, threats shape leaders' behavior toward international law; states are faced with the choice to abide by international obligations, protecting specific human rights, and the choice to protect their national interests. I argue that when the costs associated with compliance increase, because leaders face threats to their power and government stability, threats become the predictor of non-compliant behavior regardless of the democratic or ...

Examining the Effect of Security Environment on U.S. Unilateral Military Intervention in Civil Conflicts
Date: August 2011
Creator: Aubone, Amber
Description: This study focuses on how perceived security environment affect U.S. unilateral, military intervention in civil conflicts, using the concept of Bayesian learning to illustrate how threat perceptions are formed, how they change, and how they affect the U.S. decision to intervene militarily in civil conflicts. I assess the validity of two primary hypotheses: (1) the U.S. is more likely to intervene in civil conflicts with connections to a threatening actor or ideology; and (2) the U.S. is more likely to intervene in civil conflicts for humanitarian motives in a less threatening security context. To test these hypotheses, I compare U.S. military intervention in three temporal contexts reflecting more threatening security contexts (Cold War and post-9/11) and less threatening security contexts (1992-2001). Results of logit regression analysis reveal that a conflict's connection to a threatening actor or ideology is the most statistically and substantively significant determinant of U.S. military intervention in civil conflicts, both in more and less threatening security contexts. They also indicate that humanitarian motives are not a statistically significant determinant of U.S. military intervention in civil conflicts, even in a more benign security environment. These findings imply that U.S. unilateral military intervention is reserved for more direct national ...

Presidential Support and the Political Use of Presidential Capital
Date: December 1998
Creator: Ault, Michael E.
Description: This research incorporates a decision-making theory which defines the linkage between the public, the media, the president and the Congress. Specifically, I argue that the public holds widely shared domestic and international goals and responds to a number of external cues provided by the president and the media in its evaluation of presidential policies. Although most studies examine overall presidential popularity, there are important differences in the public's evaluations of the president's handling of foreign and domestic policies. Additionally, I am concerned with how the Congress responds to these specific policy evaluations, the president's public activities, and the electoral policy goals of its members when determining whether or not to support the president. Finally, I link together the theoretical assumptions, to examine the influence of varying levels of support among the Congress and the public, and the president's own personal power goals on the type, quantity, and the quality of activities the president will choose. Ultimately, the primary focus of this dissertation is on the sources and consequences of presidential support and the influence of such support on presidential decision-making.

Selling Humans: the Political Economy of Contemporary Global Slavery
Date: December 2013
Creator: Balarezo, Christine A.
Description: Human trafficking is a growing illegal crime, both in terms of numbers and profits. Thus, important to consider, as it is a human rights, political, criminal justice, national security, and economic issue. Previous studies have these examined these human trafficking factors independently, yet none have really taken into account how they work simultaneously. This study examines why human trafficker continues to occur, particularly at the domestic and transnational level, and also why some countries are better able to effectively deal with this problem in terms of criminalizing human traffickers. It is argued that at the domestic level, traffickers first must take into account the operating costs, illegal risks, bribery, and profits of the business. After considering these basic elements, they then need to consider the world, including economic, political, geographic, and cultural factors that may help facilitate human trafficking. However, human trafficking can occur across large geographic distances, though rare. This is more likely to happen based on the type of human trafficking group, available expatriate or immigrant networks, the origin-transit-destination country connection, or strength of the bilateral economic relationship between origin and destination countries. Finally, looking at why some countries are better able to criminalize traffickers helps us to ...

Home inspection:
The hidden horrors
By Julie
Sturgeon Bankrate.com
Home inspections are a routine part of the home-buying process, but not every home problem is routine.
Ron and Julie Kirchgessner
of Greenwood, Ind., certainly wish they'd phoned a few more experts.
Their inspector declared the two-story brick home one of the soundest construction jobs he'd seen, and the home withstood a tornado in the first six months. But the in-ground swimming pool was on its last legs and the 17 trees on the property struggle with diseases. Both troubled areas fall outside the routine -- the American Society of Home Inspectors' standards for certification.
So the Kirchgessners sunk nearly $10,000, all unbudgeted, into their home -- money they believe they could have knocked off the price of the home.
Laws governing mortgage contracts differ, so homeowners
don't always get to waive, say, a termite inspection. But when the
service is elective, weigh your situation against these factors
to avoid "if onlys."
Older homes: If the
home is 80 years or older, ask around for an older-home inspection
specialist. These experts know to search for unique problems such
as packed coal under cement -- a major expense to drill through
if you experience drain problems in the future -- and live gas leaking
from abandoned pipes in the walls.
"A lot of people have money in their pockets,
but they really don't have an idea of what things really cost to
remodel," says John Gaweda, owner of John Gaweda RA Architectural
Services in Brooklyn.
Houses built before 1980 are suspect for septic system
replacement, which is a $20,000 to $40,000 expense. That's why Michael
Kuhn, technical director for national inspection franchise HouseMaster,
advises these home shoppers to budget between $350 and $450 for
an open pit evaluation to dig up the system, pump it out and evaluate
the results.
Swimming pools: Nearly
4.3 million in-ground pools dot America's neighborhoods, yet Stephen
J. Preins, chair of ASHI National Public Relations Committee and
himself an inspector, has never seen a pool expert show up at any of
the homes he's contracted.
Such news makes Frank Goldstein shudder. As a board
member of the National Spa and Pool Institute and owner of Chesapeake
Aquatic Consultants in Maryland, he knows first-hand the opportunities
for chicanery.
Start with the name of the pool builder, since local
folks know who has a reputation for particular problems to check
Next, effective pool inspections must be done with
the pool operational -- count on a $500 expense to bring it to this
condition and then re-winterize if you purchase between October
and May in a cold climate.
The specialist should evaluate the expansion joints,
inspect ladders and diving equipment, and examine any pool covers.
Goldstein checks the pump's rated amperage and voltage under load.
He also gauges the pump's vacuum, and checks the filter for costly
leaks. The heater -- a $1,600 stumbling block the Kirchgessners
later discovered -- should fire smoothly.
"I once inspected a pool where the current homeowner
advertised a heated pool, but then he disconnected the heater from
the system because it was so rotted out it was inoperable,"
Goldstein says. "I've helped some people reduce a home's selling
price by $8,000."
Plan to spend between $75 and $125 for the pool inspector's
evaluation report.
Trees: It never occurred
to Joanne Sammer to examine the trees surrounding her Brielle, N.
J., dream home until a Norwegian maple tree fell into it two months
after she closed. She was lucky to escape with her life and a $2,100
bill to repair the roof damage.
But to rub salt into the wound, the arborist she chose
to address the mess knew how to find her -- he'd previously cleaned
up another tree that had crashed into the second story.
Homeowners bidding on acreage that contains mature
trees (older than 15 years) or evergreens -- pines, junipers, spruces
-- risk purchasing borers under the barks, as well as scale bugs,
bag worms, spider marts and other killers.
You can either produce several hundred dollars a year
for treatments for each ill tree or shell out $1,000-plus to remove
each after it dies.
The latter strategy quickly devalues your property,
says Richard Glover, the arborist who owns Richard Glover's Tree
Service in Indianapolis.
"Inspecting these should be a no-brainer,"
he notes.
Again, costs vary, but set aside $150 to $350 for
this peace of mind.
Pests and mold: Preins
has witnessed wooden foundation joists hollowed out by termites
and carpenter ants, literally leaving the home on shaky beams. Because
pests are so destructive, many general inspectors also obtain licenses
to offer this service for an additional fee.
Expect the bill to hover in the $75 to $120 range,
depending on the home's total square footage.
The pest inspector (and some general inspectors) may
express a willingness to search out wood-destroying organisms as
well -- a fancy term for mold, dry rot, mildew and other fungi.
Thanks to the rise in allergy susceptibilities, ASHI
anticipates this to be the next hot specialty area. Typically, your
tolerance for this fee should be tied to your health condition.
What one homeowner won't notice can wreak havoc on a new buyer's
sinuses. However, if you don't like playing any odds, cough up the
money now to at least check for the toxic stachybotrys mold, warns
Kenn Brown.
Brown, owner of Environmental Services and Products
in San Marcos, Texas, is learning everything he can about what he
calls "the Latin critter." One of his clients abandoned
a multi-million dollar home near Austin to escape this organism
that doctors suspect, at its worst, can cause bleeding lungs or
memory loss.
Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
are quick to point out that such cases are rare.
Don't get taken
At some point, the law of diminishing returns means homeowners are
spending inspection money foolishly.
"If your family doctor gives you a clean bill
of health after a physical, you don't then consult a neurologist,
an orthopedic surgeon and a cardiologist," says Preins.
Lead-based paint falls into this category. Thanks
to Title X national legislation, sellers in all real estate transactions
must disclose that homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based
paint. However, any inspection findings are non-negotiable, so the
seller isn't legally obligated to do anything about the results.
"So what does a test get you? Nothing,"
Preins says.
The inspector, however, may need to recoup the $15,000
investment price and $4,000 annual maintenance on the necessary
equipment, so keep that in mind if he pushes this roughly $375 test.
Preins tells his clients to simply assume all paint
in these homes contains lead and assign the children's rooms accordingly.
He recommends wiping out friction areas such as windowsills and
doors once a week with a soapy rag, and saving your bucks to repaint
over the existing wall coloring.
Kuhn admits radon's presence doesn't raise red flags
today either. Like mold, it's a personal health risk decision, and
the cost to actively mitigate the problem is under $1,200. (Passive
measures cost less.)
Certain areas of the country are prone to higher radon
levels, so check with your state department of environmental protection
for data on potential radon activity for your zone. Then budget
the $100 to $150 for the test when you are more flush with cash
down the road.
Finally, think hard before paying $60 to $100 to a
chimney service. Sending cameras down your fireplace flue to scour
for cracks sounds sane, but in reality a re-line job isn't costly
enough to warrant that attention, Preins says.
"If the home is 50 years or older, you
might consider it," he says. "But most good home inspectors
can give you a clue about this structure."

With the 2014 Winter Olympics just a day away, the telecommunications giant and U.S. Olympic Committee sponsor AT&T has made a statement against the host country's anti-gay laws. As reported by the Associated Press on Feb. 5, AT&T has become the first major sponsor to publicly speak out against the law.
As Coca-Cola, another major U.S. corporation sponsoring the Olympics in Sochi, has received criticism for their sponsorship, AT&T is denouncing the law as it pushes for equality globally. In a blog post released by the company, they labeled the anti-gay "propaganda" law signed by President Vladimir Putin as harmful to societal diversity.
"We support LGBT equality globally and we condemn violence, discrimination and harassment targeted against LGBT individuals everywhere."
The key word in the post is "globally" as AT&T is making a statement as a support of equality not just in the United States, but also across the world.
The company is being applauded for the message it is sending. The Human Rights Campaign was one of the gay rights organizations to immediately recognize AT&T for their opposition the anti-gay laws.
AT&T should be recognized for showing true leadership in opposing this hateful Russian law and other sponsors that have failed to lead should take corrective action immediately. A company that claims to support LGBT equality should do so wherever it operates, not just in the United States."
Top sponsors have indeed expressed opposition, but AT&T is the first to actually take action. Now that one major sponsor has spoken out, perhaps others will follow.

London Grammar perform their fervent single "Nightcall" in the dead of night alongside a trailer and campfire for their ghostly new video.
For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein takes us back to the very first Groove Academy show with Leon Thomas and The JB's in June 1990.
This was the very first Groove Academy show. Before I started working with my original partner, Jonathan Rudnick, I was doing clubs and parties in New York. And where possible, I tried to incorporate live music into my events. There were really only a couple of nightclub venues that had the live music capability, though – MK and Nell's.
I'd often fly around on my roller skates to drop off show flyers promoting my parties. During one of my runs, a friend of mine who owned a boutique in the East Village told me about a musician friend of hers who looking to make a comeback. And once she told me her friend was Leon Thomas, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Leon was a jazz singer who'd worked with artists like Pharoah Sanders and Santana. He also had his own albums on the Flying Dutchman label in the 1970s, but you really needed to be a bit of a crate digger to know who he was.
Last week, our man Rich Medina laid down another one of his unforgettable sets at Le Bain and we've got the goods to share, exclusively! Yes, not quite the same as taking the music in live in all its glory, but we still love you. Did we mention the set is almost 6 hours long? Yeah, we're the best.
Turkey Day just got a sweet soundtrack.

Loyal fans flocked from far and wide to witness last night's spectacular show in San Francisco with K-pop sensation Taeyang. The Giant Step produced Music Experiment 2.0 show in partnership with MTV Iggy and Intel brought out music lovers from as far as Seoul, Mexico City, Miami, and Philadelphia, some of whom started lining up as early as 6AM.
Guests came dressed in all white on par with the night's theme, making for a luminous and picturesque evening. An awe-inspiring Taeyang played with his force of a band and elevated a packed room for a solid hour, then going on to graciously offer multiple encores. An immeasurably pleased crowd cheered, cried, gleefully sang word-for-word, and danced themselves away.
To thank Taeyang for his contribution in sharing Asian culture with the Bay Area, Mayor Evan Low of Campbell, California presented the star with a well-deserved certificate of recognition on behalf of Mayor Edwin Lee of San Francisco.
Following our massively successful Music Experiment 2.0 shows with Arcade Fire in LA, Empire of the Sun in NYC, and Disclosure in Boston, our show with Taeyang was the perfect cap to an unforgettable run. Hats off to the whole Music Experiment 2.0 crew!
Ophelia Cache's lilting vocals are haunting on her new "Leaving London" track. Looking forward to hearing more from this lady!

The New York Timesbestseller One of America's most original and biting comic satirists, Denis Leary takes on all the poseurs, politicians, and pop culture icons who have sucked in public for far too long. Sparing no one, Leary zeroes in on the ridiculous wherever he finds it-his Irish Catholic upbringing, the folly of celebrity, the pressures of family life, and the great hypocrisy of politics-with the same bright, savage, and profane insight he brought to his critically acclaimed one-man shows No Cure for Cancer Proudly Irish-American, defiantly working class, with a reserve of compassion for the underdog and the overlooked, Leary delivers blistering diatribes that are both penetrating social commentary with no holds barred and laugh-out-loud funny. As always, Leary's impassioned comic perspective in Why We Suckis right on target.

Small businesses are responsible for 54% of all US sales, and make up 85% of the Bay County Chamber of Commerce.
Three years ago, American Express decided to celebrate the 23 million small businesses in America by creating "Small Business Saturday".
Bay County Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Communications Brittany Cole says, "The Bay County Chamber of Commerce picked it up and ran with it, and we got a bunch of participating local small businesses, because they are the backbone of our economy."
Shoppers can win a $50 gift card to Los Rancheros by getting involved.
They're encouraged to print a passbook from the Bay County Chamber's website and gather stamps from participating stores.
Completed passbooks will be entered into a drawing on Wednesday

This is probably the last finished project of this year – the Fat Quarterly Aurifil Challenge.
In the meantime I'd better introduce myself – my name is Ethne, and I blog at Flaming Stitches. I've crafted in one format or another, pretty much all my life. In the early years it was knitting and crocheting, but on one visit to one of those big Hobby Craft Exhibitions, I fell in love with some fabrics. Picked a pattern and in 3 weeks pulled together a quilt for my niece. To be honest I hadn't a clue what I was doing. The front is piece correctly but the sandwiching, well I tried to put it together like a quilt. Years later I'm still trying to get it off my niece, no luck, she loves the quilt. I've learnt the correct way to do things now but still experiment in what I'm doing, and work often using instinct.
This project / challenge is a good example of me going with my gut instinct, in both the design and the quilting – I hope you like it.
So back in this post I mentioned receiving a set of Aurifil threads to try out. After deliberating for a few days I finally decided on a cushion for this challenge, and, taking into account next years Free Bee virtual quilting bee, I thought I'd also use this project as a bit of a tester for a possible block option – the freeform hourglass block.
The idea was to make 5 blocks as a panel for the front of the cushion. These freeform hourglass blocks were sewn together and for any of you wanting to have a go at something similar I have created a little tutorial for this block here. When the 5 blocks were sewn together border / framing strips added. Batting added, (Dream Poly, basted into position using washable PVA glue, used sparingly). Then I started quilting using the Aurifil threads.
Firstly, it was the 40 weight red thread for the ovals framing the hourglass blocks and forming a zone for the front feathers which were quilted using the 50 weight thread. Now this is the first time ever that I've used this thread, and it was smooth, and I mean smooth.
Though the thread is fine it is strong and flows freely and smoothly through the needle and fabric sandwich. It was so easy and comfortable doing the ovals that when it came to quilting something into the elliptical shape left in the central zone, instinct took over and I ended up quilting my first feather. Now I have been sketching feathers on paper, doodles really, for a while but they never seemed to work out smoothly when sewing the LHS. You see I would draw the RHS first but never got the left to mirror it properly, I'd always over think it. However when it came to sewing, the RHS worked out really well and the LHS followed nicely too.
So in conclusion I can say that I will be slowly starting to build a stock of the Aurifil threads – probably the 40 weight for quilting and piecing, but if necessary the heavier grade for piecing if necessary in projects like bags. So if you get a chance buy a spool and try it out for yourself. And thank you Fat Quarterly for the opportunity to try the threads out.

There are many reasons to cloth diaper. Ethical reasons. Health reasons. Environmental reasons.
I asked you to convince me to cloth diaper, and you did it. Without a doubt. I'm convinced. In fact, I am far more excited about diapers than I ever thought it was possible to be excited about diapers.
So, what were the top reasons that swayed me? The truth is, I'm the biggest sap on the planet, not the biggest environmentalist, which should explain the following:
Reason #1 Cash: My daughter is severely disabled and may well need diapers for years to come. If it works, cloth diapering could save us thousands.
Reason #2 Cute: A half-hour after my original post, I created a 'Convince me to cloth diaper' post in the Cloth Diaper Group on the BabyCenter Community. It didn't take long for them to sway me with photos of their adorable babies and their diapered tushes. Check it out for yourself and I dare you not to want those diapers on your baby's butt!
Over the next two weeks, my cloth diaper resolve will be tested. I must:
- convince my husband to use them
- travel by car five hours with my family from London to Wales to stay with my MIL for the weekend
- convince my MIL to use them
- travel by plane 18 hours with my family from London to my mother's in California
- convince my mother to use them
Oh yes – and, that little matter of figuring it all out myself.
Because of the journeys, I'll use a hybrid diaper – gDiapers. They have both a washable cloth insert or a disposable one. My package from gDiaper arrived today (see below). I squealed when the doorbell rang. Excited. Diapers. Me.
Let my two week cloth diaper trial begin! I'll post updates here on Momformation, so check back in and throw some encouragement my way. I'll also be tweeting my daily highs and lows on Twitter. Follow me @MamaLewis1
What are your top tips for this novice cloth diapering mama? I need advice on convincing, traveling, washing… HELP!
Got some cloth diapers at the back of your cupboard that you've been meaning to use? Dig them out and join me! I'd love to hear how you get on. Or, if you don't know where to start, read what the experts on BabyCenter have to say about the choices available in cloth.
DISCLAIMER: gDiapers have given me a selection of their cloth diapers and accessories for review purposes. The photo does not include the washable cloth inserts that arrived separately. They haven't paid me to use their product and all the opinions are and will be my own.

Ted Kaczynski, what have you been up to? Unabomber, you say?
Originally published on Thu May 24, 2012 7:08 am
No, the Unabomber won't be attending his 50th class reunion at Harvard this week.
But Ted Kaczynski has updated his former classmates about what he's been up to all these years.
In something that's become a bit of an embarrassment for Harvard Alumni Association, The Associated Press writes that "in an alumni directory, [Kaczynski] lists his occupation as 'prisoner' and says his awards are 'Eight life sentences, issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, 1998.' "
The alumni association issued a statement last night saying "we regret publishing Kaczynski's references to his convictions and apologize for any distress that it may have caused others."
A mathematician by training, Kaczynski killed three people and injured 23, as the AP reminds us, "during a nationwide bombing spree between 1978 and 1995."
As he tells his former classmates, he's now residing at the so-called Supermax federal prison in Florence, Colo.
Kaczynski, 70, is federal prisoner No. 04475-046.
Meanwhile, if those from Harvard's Class of '62 want to soothe their nerves they can always check out their "50th Anniversary Report" website, which has some nice music from back in the day (think, Memories).

Vodafone to sell iPhone 3G in India starting August 22nd from $708 up
We know all along that the iPhone 3G will be released in India on August 22nd, so Vodafone Essar's official announcement comes as no surprise. In fact, Vodafone had been taking pre-orders for the iPhone 3G as early as June this year.
Vodafone will offer the iPhone 3G 8GB for 31,000 Rupees ($708 US) while the 16GB model will be 36,100 Rupees ($824 US).
These prices are a bit steep, but then again these are going to be for prepaid units, unlike the carrier-tied $199 units being sold in the US.
At the same time, Bharti Airtel also announced that it will sell the iPhone 3G starting Friday as well. They haven't tipped us in on their official prices, but a spokesman says they will announce official prices soon.

We do not condone violence, we do however support literature that is so macabre that it leads to laughter, for fear that taking it seriously might lead to pain. How To Kick Someone's Ass ($10) is a rough and tumble field guide to taking down almost anyone, and in almost any situation. All types of threats are covered - physical, emotional, psychological, and financial. Take for instance your neighbor who refuses to repay you; the author suggests turning on his hose the next time he's on vacation - leaving him with a swampy yard and an enormous water bill. Why didn't we think of that? If nothing, a read and strategic placing on your coffee table will provide for interesting cocktail party conversation.

So it seems some of obama's jobs bill will pass, extension of payroll tax cut and long-term unemployment benefits seem to be a go but his calls for new spending and a surtax on millionaires seem doomed.
Despite of all the blaming on Republicans obama is going around the Nation doing it was Senate Democrats who forced a rewrite of the jobs bill last week. And even now, it's unlikely he has enough support within his own party to assure a majority.
So why is obama going around on his million dollar bus blaming Republicans, well according to Mitch McConnell "He's trying to change the topic," "He wants to deflect attention from that 1.5 million job loss" since he took office. "For two years, the president got everything he wanted from the Democrats in Congress," McConnell added.
At $179 billion over a decade, is the largest single item in the legislation and has drawn no significant opposition from Republicans.
A proposal to give employers a break on payroll taxes, a $69 billion provision, could pass, as well.
An extension of unemployment insurance, likely to pass, carries a price tag of $48.5 billion.
Far less likely to become law, given Republican opposition, are the president's requests for $50 billion over a decade for transportation projects, $35 billion to help the states hire teachers and first responders, $30 billion for school modernization and $15 billion for a neighborhood stabilization fund.
The states obama is visiting is primarily the ones he won in 2008, here is how they rank in unemployment before he took office til now…
North Carolina, 9.7 in Jan 09, 10.4 now
Virginia 6 percent then, 6.3 now
Pennsylvania: 7 percent in 2009 but 8.2 percent now.
Ohio: 8.8 percent then, 9.1 percent now.
Colorado, 6.6 percent then, 8.5 percent now;
Washington, 7.8 percent then, 9.3 percent now;
California 10.1 percent then, 12.1 percent now
and Florida, 8.6 percent then and 10.7 percent now.
Mr. obama, Americans are not stupid, we have had enough of your lies, your blame game, and the attacks upon our Constitution…
America vote this man out of office in 2012….For Freedoms Sake!

Anzhi Makhachkala demand action over CSKA Moscow 'bigotry'
Russian Premier League club Anzhi Makhachkala has called for an end to "bigotry" in domestic football after its fans were abused by CSKA Moscow supporters.
Throughout CSKA's 1-0 home win over Anzhi on Saturday, CSKA fans shouted derogatory slogans about the Caucasus region. They also displayed a banner bearing the words "animal planet" with a modified Anzhi crest featuring an apparent anti-gay slur.
Anzhi fans typically hail from ethnic minority groups in the Caucasus.
In a statement issued on Sunday,...

Then I'd just play it for fun... and not care too much about what it sounds like or bother learning anything that isn't fun. Despite all of the trash talking you see on forums & youtube comments, being good on guitar isn't actually a requirement in life.
But people that truly want to learn are always going to have the advantage and will progress at rates that will make you even more frustrated with your own playing--if you let yourself get hung up on that stuff.
You just have to realize that the way you're describing yourself, it would be like someone asking "How do I get good at baseball?" then following it up with "But I hate running, I can't swing a bat and I think throwing and catching a ball is boring."

Friday's game will be cablecast by Cox Sports Television while Cox Sports and Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) will televise Sunday's series finale in conjunction with the SEC-TV package. Saturday's game will be available to HailStateTV subcribers through a shared link in the HSTV player (via Arkansas production). The radio broadcast of all three games will be carried on the statewide MSU Baseball Radio Network and also on HSTV, with Jim Ellis and Bart Gregory handling the call of the games.
MSU enters the weekend with the league's No. 2 batting average (.310). Junior outfielder Hunter Renfroe (.427), on a career-best and team season-high 13-game hitting streak, paces the club with 36 RBI, nine home runs and 19 extra-base hits. He leads the SEC with a .902 slugging percentage. Renfroe, on the initial watch list for the Golden Spikes Award, has hit safely in 22 of his 23 games.
Another Bulldog on the Golden Spikes Award watch list, junior shortstop Adam Frazier (.396), begins the week with 44 hits, second-most in the SEC, and leads the league with 32 runs scored. Frazier has matched a career-best with a nine-game hitting streak. He continues to rate among the top defensive players in the SEC with a league-best 88 assists and has assisted with 32 of MSU's NCAA-leading 38 double plays.
In their final home game in March Tuesday night, MSU plated eight runs in its last two at-bats to register a 13-5 win over Austin Peay (19-5) at Dudy Noble Field. Senior designated hitter Trey Porter (.298) belted his first home run of the season and joined senior catcher Nick Ammirati (.304) in registering career-best three-RBI plate performances to pace the Diamond Dogs.
The Bulldogs, in search of their first conference weekend series win, have tabbed senior lefty Luis Pollorena (4-0, 2.77) for his third start of the season and his sixth career SEC start in Friday's series-opener. Senior right-hander Kendall Graveman (2-2, 2.84) will start Saturday. MSU has not designated a starter for Sunday's series finale.
State continues play on the road next Tuesday with a 6:30 p.m. game at No. 30 South Alabama (22-4).

Below is an elevation graph of the infamous Mountain Goat Run that takes place the first weekend in May in my hometown(ish) of Syracuse, NY. I did this run back in 2009 and I loved every awful second of those hills. I wanted to do it last year but I had class that weekend and I couldn't. I tried comforting myself in the fact that it turned out to be an absurdly hot day and I probably would have melted or spontaneously combusted anyway.
|Mountain Goat Run 10 Miler
Finished 2009 in 1:21:00 (8:08 min/mile)
|Post Mountain Goat Run 2009.
Note: this is my sarcastic "I feel great" smile.
Well, it's that time of year. The race is right around the corner and... I have class again. I am scheduled to be on clinical in the midst of my second to last weekend on a med-surg floor with a challenging instructor. I do have the option of missing clinical and making it up at a later date but that's not my style. I like to get things done and over with; a lot like I handle my hills. I want to walk off my last med-surg clinical day with my fellow classmates thinking (perhaps shouting) WOO-HOO that is D-O-N-E!!
At the same time I want to get this race in my line up and under my belt this year. This is supposed to be the year of the BQ for me and races like this help me get my running self stronger and mentally prepared.
There are numerous pros and cons to each side of this decision which doesn't help me at all. I know there's plenty of other races I could do and I also know that I could just make the missed day of clinical up but I am awful at making decisions. Most mornings it takes me a solid 10 minutes to pick a running outfit because I just can't choose (sad, I know). I even have another 10 mile race lined up for June 18th in Baltimore... but it's just not THE Mountain Goat.
A good nurse knows how to prioritize. So, I've put my running/school dilemma into an NCLEX (nursing boards exam) style question to try and put things in perspective.
A runner and fellow nursing student is complaining of having to choose between missing a clinical morning (to be made up at a later date) so she can participate in a local race or missing the race to stay on schedule at school. When she begins to contemplate the decision she becomes anxious, diaphoretic, tachycardic, and hypertensive. The good nursing student knows that she should advise the runner to:
A) Put school first, go to clinical, suck it up, and pick another race.
B) Make up the clinical at a later date and race her heart out; returning to school for lecture after the race.
C) Skip clinical and the race and take the whole morning to herself as she obviously has anxiety issues.
D) Call her physician.
The problem is that these damn questions always have two good answers. I guess I'll have to think it out over some hill repeats. I think if I wasn't such a
dedicated student nerd, this wouldn't be such an issue.
Suggestions?!? What would you do?

Warnings are being issued about a synthetic marijuana substitute called "Crazy Clown" after several people were hospitalized in Southeast Georgia last week. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating the drug, which is available in smoke shops and convenience stores.
Crazy Clown, also marketed as "Herbal Madness Incense," was identified as the culprit in sending eight people to the emergency room. Three of them were so sickened by Crazy Clown that they were admitted to intensive care and placed on life support.
Effingham County Sheriff's Office spokesperson David Ehsanipoor released a statement saying, "Symptoms are nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, weakness, cardiac problems, but of note some subjects are experiencing paralysis." He said the drug has been sent to the crime lab for testing. The sheriff's office is asking anyone who sees Crazy Clown for sale to alert authorities.
While marijuana and its active ingredient, THC, has been proven over centuries to be a completely safe, non-toxic substance, the active ingredient in Crazy Clown is unknown. It is likely similar to the synthetic cannabinoids found in Spice and K2, which have also been reported to sicken some users. Synthetic pot was placed under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act in July of 2012. Of course, each time a compound is added to the list of illegal substances, chemists skirt the law by creating a similar, but distinct derivative.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Hurricane Leslie 2012 is exhibiting a projected path that follows Hurricane Kirk 2012. As Hurricane Kirk 2012 moves westward, he has Hurricane Leslie right behind him. The revelation comes after the National Hurricane Center tonight that warns that we could have two hurricanes moving westward by the weekend.
Hurricane Kirk escalated from tropical storm status to hurricane status tonight as predicted. But the same will be true with Leslie by the weekend. In a news briefing out of Miami tonight, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) advised that TS Leslie will become Hurricane Leslie by the weekend.
Leslie's current "maximum sustained winds have increased to near forty-five miles per hour with higher gusts", officials tell news tonight. But "Leslie could become a hurricane in a day or two."
By that rate, Hurricane Kirk 2012 and Hurricane Leslie 2012 could both in the Caribbean by Saturday. "The tropical storm force winds [currently] extend upward to forty-five miles from the center", NHC tells news. But Kirk could move far more north, and skip the Caribbean completely.
In contrast, Leslie is strengthening over the tropical Atlantic. But her next stop remains in question. She is moving currently twenty-one miles per hour while delivering winds up to forty-five miles per hour. No "costal watches or warnings [are] in effect" tonight. But based upon the historical movement of Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Kirk and Hurricane Leslie could enter the Caribbean through a similar path over this Labor Day Weekend. Their path after that remains in question.

Mahon MeloussaA Spanish classic made since Roman times, in Minorca in the Balearic Islands. Mahon gets its briny, punchy character from the Menorcan winds blanketing the island's grass in fresh sea salt. The DOP regulations allow for a maximum of 5% sheep milk to be used—a throwback to when farmers needed to use whatever milk they had on hand. Mahon DOP Meloussa Semi is made from 95% raw cow's milk and 5% raw sheep's milk, and the latter delivers boozy fruitiness and just a hint of briny tang. Serve with juicy figs, marcona almonds, and a hoppy IPA, a fruity cider, or a spicy Rioja. Read More

Pria AzulThis rustic beauty hails from Asturias, in the misty mountains hugging the Northern coast of Spain. Pria Azul is a unique blend of 50% cow, 40% sheep and 10% goat's milk, and is a far cry from other aggressive Spanish blue cheeses. The fresh wheels are both pierced to create bluing and also smoked, then aged to create a gorgeous natural rind. This process results in a incredibly creamy and milky paste, subtely gamey and smokey, with a perfect flavor trifecta of sweet, salty and savory. A must with port and luscious dark chocolate.

August is over and there's more bad news in downtown Minneapolis.
Bergstrom Jewelers is leaving downtown Minneapolis after 87 years in business there. Their new location in St. Louis Park promises to be less expensive to patrons in terms of time, money, and headache.
Meanwhile, Block E has been dealt another severe blow in the wake of Game Works' closure earlier this year. Downtown Hooters has joined Game Works in closing its doors, a development making downtown a little bit darker amid the abundance of vacant storefronts already conspicuously populating many areas there. Meanwhile, landlords, themselves trying to stay afloat after losing tenants, will surely pursue alternatives to make up for the losses, alternatives that likely include rent increases, thus adding another link to a long chain of economic destruction.
When a business closes, it does so because of many diverse yet related factors that conspire to bring about said business' downfall. On the surface, a business closes because it does not earn enough money to pay its bills. But why did a fallen business not make enough money?
A business cannot make enough money if they charge too much for something patrons do not think is worth the price or cannot afford. People cannot afford to buy because their jobs do not pay enough o keep up with escalating costs with which, ironically enough, the business also tries to keep up.
The worst part of this destructive economic equation is that escalating costs never had to happen. Escalating costs can be explained mostly by the inflationary monetary policies of the government-enabled Federal Reserve System. Their practice of creating more money out of nowhere only makes things more expensive in ways with which people cannot begin to keep pace. This falling behind dynamic has been responsible for many an economic calamity through the years and affects us even now.
Clearly, every economic problem can be traced to the top.

A program for all newcomer, immigrant, and refugee LGBTQ+ youth
What is EXPRESS?
EXPRESS is a program that provides support for young people
between 16 and 29 years old who are immigrants, newcomers,
refugees, refugee claimants, or non-status in Canada who also
identify as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer
(LGBTQ+) communities. Most of the participants are young people
coming from countries and/or cultures where it's not safe, legal
or easy to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ+).
How can I participate?
Attend the weekly meetings!
EXPRESS includes a weekly meeting on Tuesdays from 6pm to 8pm in
downtown Toronto at 333 Sherbourne Street, 2nd floor
(as part of Sherbourne Health Centre). During the meeting, we
are able to make new friends, enjoy pizza, find out information
and resources, and have a fun time!
Join the internet group mailing list, Facebook page, or private
Facebook group!
Aside from meeting in person, EXPRESS youth also interact with
each other on the yahoo group mailing list, Facebook page or the
private Facebook page. We usually post information about
upcoming activities, relevant news, and anything else that the
group is interested in. To get started, contact Aamer at
416-324-5080 or
Join a one time project/activity during the year!
Throughout the year, we run one time activities (movie nights,
fieldtrips, camping) that you are welcome to participate in. We
also do partnerships with other organizations where you can do
fun things like ski trips, canoeing, and lots more.
Meet for one-on-one support!
Sometimes you may want to just meet for a one-on-one meeting and
talk about what is going on in your life and get some answers.
You are always welcome to contact Aamer and find a time to meet
that works for you. Aamer can be reached at 416-324-5080 or
What kind of support can I expect?
Getting support around your refugee claim:
Many of the youth participating in EXPRESS are refugee claimants
on the basis of their sexual orientation. The project provides
significant direct support to these youth in this process as
well as the personal and emotional support they receive at the
weekly meetings.
Getting connected to Toronto's LGBTQ+ communities:
You will find a lot of good information and links to make new
friends, find out about other groups in Toronto, and learn more
about the LGBTQ+ communities.
Finding other LGBTQ+ youth positive programs and services in
You will get connect to some other cool programs out there such
as mentoring, arts and media, sports, social support, youth of
color projects, and much more.
Anything else that you need. If we don't have the answer, we
will try to connect you to someone who does.
Who is involved in running EXPRESS?
EXPRESS is a program of Supporting Our Youth at Sherbourne
Health Centre.
The weekly group is run by a team of friendly people, including:
Premal Laxman
is a dynamic placement student at Supporting Our Youth and is a
student at the Social Service Worker program at George Brown
Chi Ching Hui
is a dedicated volunteer for the EXPRESS program. He initially
got involved with EXPRESS in 2002 as one of the first youth
participants for the group.

is a community worker who is passionate about intercultural
relations for equity. Using this angle, she has been working
with a number of communities, including newcomer queer
communities and newcomer women survivors of violence, at the
grassroots and structural levels. Olimpia has been involved in
Express since 2009
Aamer Esmail
is the Newcomer Community Engagement Coordinator at Sherbourne
Health Centre. Aamer started his involvement in EXPRESS as a
youth participant in 2003.

College Hockey:Interactive data: The rise and fall of college hockey conference tournament attendance
One of the interesting subplots to the upcoming conference tournament weekend is how the old attendance hub of the WCHA Final Five will be split among the new-look championships.
The Big Ten tournament and the NCHC Frozen Faceoff will take place 10 miles apart in the Twin Cities.
With much of its former big schools out of the league, the WCHA's Final Five, once the most-attended college hockey tournament anywhere, is off to Grand Rapids, Mich.
We're left to see what kind of turnstile counts will come in from the new creations and new locations, but in the meantime here's a look at how attendance has fluctuated for college hockey's conference tournaments since 2000. Check below the graphic for some notes on what's included.
Keep in mind that the figures in the top graph can be skewed by the number of sessions involved — that is, how many tickets a fan needed to see an entire tournament.
In 2003, for example, the CCHA still had three sessions (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and did reasonably well at the gate so the overall total is a bit higher.
In 2011, a format change dropped the WCHA from five sessions to four, which played a role in decreasing the overall attendance by more than 13,000.
In terms of average attendance per session, which eliminates some of the problems with trying to aggregate all of the conferences, the WCHA and Hockey East both enjoyed strong periods and some dips in the last 14 years.
ECAC Hockey's tournament has been lagging, so it will be interesting to see whether a move back to Lake Placid, N.Y., starting this weekend will change that fortune.

shimile says:
im guessing you mean, your horse has muscle atrophy and you want to reverse it? firstly though, how much exercise is he in, and where is the muscle loss??
Hi I am asumiung he has it as I have asked a saddle fitter and she has said that is probably what it is. I have borrowed a saddle off a friend to try at the weekend. As I think the saddle is resting too much on his shoulders and pinching him. I am really stuck on this one! I have also borrrowed a gel pad to try and lift my saddle. If I am still no further forward I am going to have to get a professional opionion. Hopefully once the saddle is sorted I can move forward into getting him fit again. Bless him!! I have only had him 6 months and it really is a balancing act! Any advice would be great.
ok, so muscle atrophy is basically when the muscle is not used, and so wastes away, and it is a common problem with poor fitting saddles, as they prevent the muscles behind the withers from working, and so they become underdeveloped. Once you have a saddle that fits, as long as the horse is working, the muscles should build themselves back up again. Hope this helps.

Soyuz TM-17 carried the EO-14 crew of Vasili Tsibliyev, Alexander Serebrov, and French cosmonaut Jean-Pierre Haignere to Mir. Progress M-18 undocked from Mir's front port at around 17:25 GMT on July 3, and Soyuz TM-17 docked at the same port only 20 minutes later at 17:45 GMT. Haignere returned to earth aboard Soyuz TM-16 on 22 July.
AKA: Sirius (Sirius ); Soyuz TM-17 (Haignere).
First Launch: 1993.07.01.
Last Launch: 1993.07.22.
Duration: 20.67 days.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Altair: From 4.07 until 22.07.93 Haignere, in co-operation with his Russian colleagues, will conduct experiments in the framework of the French scientific program Altair.
Spacewalks: If all goes according to previous planning the new crew (the 14th main expedition to the Mir station) will make 3 spacewalks.
Progress-M17: This freighter still flew autonomously in the night from 3 to 4.07.93 and was visually observed by Mr. Wim Holwerda (Working group artificial satellites) during Mir's pass in orb. 42174, 2227 UTC, at abt. 8 KM behind Mir. Wim also saw the 3d stage of the rocket which gave Soyuz-TM17 the last 'push' on 1.07.93. Progress-M17 carries a return capsule. In a next Mir-report I hope to tell somewhat about the fate of Progress-M17 and that capsule.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Mir-crew: Manakov is still captain of the Mir-complex and this he shows clearly. During every pass he tightly holds the microphone. Now and then Polishchuk and Serebrov can be heard; Tsybliyev, who has to take over command one of these days, rarely speaks with TsUP.
Progress-M17: During the experiment 'Rodeo' on 3.07.93 this freighter undocked from the Mir station while Soyuz-TM17 was waiting for the docking port freed by Progress-M17. Progress-M17 undocked at 1553 UTC. Soyuz-TM17 docked to Mir at 1624 UTC. The return-capsule of Progress-M17 landed safely in Kazakhstan at 1802 UTC.
Soyuz-TM16: With this ship, now still attached to the Kristall- Module, Manakov, Polishchuk and Haignere will return to earth on 22.07.93. The landing is expected at about 0630 UTC.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Progress-M18: Will undock from Mir and decay in the atmosphere on 24.07.93 (so 2 days after the departure of Soyuz-TM16).
Progress-M19: Launch from Baykonur on 27.07.93.
Progress-M20: Launch from Baykonur on 12.10.93.
Soyuz-TM18 : Launch from Baykonur with crew Afanasyev and Usachov on 16.11.93.
Progress-M21: Launch from Baykonur on 30.11.93.
In May 1994 there will be a flight of a Soyuz-TM to Mir with on board Malenchenko and Strekalov. (Strekalov replaced Kaleri, because he has more experience than Kaleri.) The 3d crew member will be a physician for a long duration flight of one and a half year. For this flight 3 physicians are selected, one of them will fly, namely Polyakov, Arzamazov and Morukov.
The Russians have the intention to launch Module Spektr on 20.12.93 for a flight to Mir. This long expected extension will be welcomed by the crew of the 15th Main expedition to Mir: Afanasyev and Usachov.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
Soyuz-TM16 landed safely in near the city Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. The ballistic section of Professor Ivanov again deserves admiration for their excellent work: the landing took place 23 seconds later than calculated. During this flight the crews of Mir and Soyuz-TM16 as well had to do somewhat extra in this field for at the moment of undocking the objects were out of range of NIP (measurement points on earth). So they had to take care for the actual attitudes during undocking and thereafter. Data for this operation they got during radio traffic with TsUP on 21.07.93. Just after the separation of the Life compartment (BO) and the Motor block from the Landing module (SA) the SA entered the dense layers of the atmosphere at 061817 UTC surrounded by the fire of the plasma. At a distance of appr. 400 KM the crew on board Mir was able to observe this through porthole nr. 9. At 062655 UTC the main parachute opened and the landing took place at 064200 UTC. So the crew of the 13th Main expedition to Mir, Manakov and Polishchuk, and the French 'spacionaute' Haignere accomplished their flights. H. was able to execute the French scientific program Altair. The last days of his flight he felt tired due to the huge amount of work, which was necessary to get a maximum profit of such an expensive flight. H. was very satisfied about his work on board but also about his activities as a radio- amateur and he was very grateful to make a lot good QSO-s with French and other amateurs.
Mir: On board Mir are now the cosmonauts Tsybliyev and Serebrov. Their official calls are not 'Ceres' as has been published earlier, but respectively Sirius-1 and 2. Their calls for radio- amateur activities are resp. R3Mir and R4Mir. Ts. en S. will work in open space 3 times in September this year to accomplish the transfer of the solar batteries from the Kristall-module to Kvant-1.
In a next Mir-report I hope to give attention to the last days of the presence of 5 cosmonauts on board Mir.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Spain vs. Haiti 2013 (en vivo live score results below) prompts a futbol international friendly today. The two nations do not head into Copa Mundial qualifiers this weekend, unlike other nations. Rather they will head to Florida for a soccer friendly from Sun Life Stadium, officials remind news.
Spain vs. Haiti 2013 (start time 1 pm PST) features Haiti trying to improve on recent poor results. Haiti has only one win in its last five games, while giving up four losses. Spain, however, has three wins and two draws.
Haiti has yet to pick up a win this year. Its last win was in 2012. Since then, Haiti has been beat in four consecutive friendly matches by Chile, Bolivia, Oman, and the Domitian Republic.
After today's match, Haiti has one more friendly against Italy next week before entering into the CGC. There they will face Honduras, Trinidad and El Salvador.
Spain, however, has had an impressive year. After a draw against France last year in a qualifier, Spain has beat Panama and Uruguay, drawed against Finland and beat France in March. After today's match, Spain will face Ireland in a friendly before heading into the COC. There they will face Uruguay, Tahiti and Nigeria. For live score results today click HERE.
