Version and / or Patch Used: 3.0 Technical Preview

CrystalDiskMark is a disk benchmark software that allows us to benchmark 4K and 4K queue depths with accuracy.
Key Features:-
* Sequential reads/writes
* Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes
* Text copy
* Change dialog design
* internationalization (i18n)
Note: Crystal Disk Mark 3.0 Technical Preview was used for these tests since it offers the ability to measure native command queuing at 4 and 32.
Here were looking at 4K and native command queuing performance. Across the board all of the leading drives are capable of between 32 - 39MB/s in 4K read performance. When you get to QD:4 the Biwin NuvoDrive NX takes a 30 to 40MB/s lead on the SandForce drives, but is around 20 - 30MB/s slower than the Marvell based drives from OCZ (Vertex 4) and Plextor (M3 Pro).
The 4K write speed recorded in our test with the early sample produced a 141MB/s score which is nearly identical to the Vertex 4 256GB drive. The QD:4 and QD:32 performance went up to 271MB/s. The original Barefoot drives didn't scale from QD:4 to QD:32 either.
A bit more interesting is the sequential performance in this test. The NuvoDrive NX dominates this test and the reason why because this test uses incompressible data.

Hi, I'm using WordPress 22.214.171.124. I'm having trouble blogging my photos in Flickr. I get the message:
"The username and password you entered do not have any weblogs associated with them."
although I am sure I am using the correct username and password. In fact, I get this message no matter what userid/passwd I use. When I manually go to my site: http://kevin.saff.net/xmlrpc.php I see the following message:
"XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
Is this what I should see? Anyway, I am also running PHP 4.3.10, if that helps.
I was able to post photos to blogger before I switched; I have not yet been successful with wordpress. What diagnostic steps can I take to see what's wrong?

I need to add a path to $PATH environment variable for PHP scripts on CentOS linux server with cPanel Pro 1.0 and Apache 2.2.27.
For Ubuntu or SuSE it just means adding the row
export PATH=$PATH:/path to
/etc/sysconfig/apache2, but this file is missing in sysconfig on CentOS with cPanel (and, of course, script
/etc/init.d/httpd is not looking for it). Is it anywhere else (as that would be the solution)?
The answer published here uses PHP itself to change PATH variable, but I'd like to use more robust solution on the Apache level... Any help will be highly appreciated!

ONEOK (OKE) CEO John Gibson predicts net income will grow 18%/year during 2012-14, with dividends growing 40% during the period. If 2013-14 prices for crude oil, natural gas and nat gas liquids remain at levels assumed in 2012 guidance, he says his earnings growth projections would be reduced by just one percentage point annually.

I loved the article ("Weymouth resident wants stricter cat rules," June 19). I think this proposal is a long time coming.
Just as I believe it's not right to have my dog run through anyone else's yard, I believe that no else's cat should be able to run through mine. People who have animals should be responsible for them.
And as far as the town's animal control officer's responses I was very disappointed. "How much of a nuisance can a cat cause on your property?" Really?
This is 2014 and the days of the loose dogs are over. Now is the time to control the loose cats.

George Clooney
George Clooney in Levi's Jeans
George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney arrived at Tokyo International Airport in Japan a few days ago and were greeted by fans.
For the trip, George wore his old Levi's jeans, pairing them with a leather jacket, a printed t-shirt and some lace up shoes. Levi's seem to be his go to brand when it comes to spotting him out in denim. What brand of jeans would you like to see George in next? You can buy Levi's jeans online at their website.

George Clooney in Levi's Jeans
Newly married George Clooney was snapped while leaving a studio after doing some voice recording in Studio City, California.
George wore a pair of classic Levi's jeans with a printed tee and some boots. This is definitely one of his classic looks. I feel like you can't ever beat a pair of Levi's jeans if you are wanting to keep it original!

Stacy Keibler in Rag & Bone and George Clooney in Levi's
George Clooney and his girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, were seen having dinner at Chateau Marmont with Cindy Crawford and her husband. The couples must be close friends because earlier this year, they vacationed together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
George stuck to a classic pair of Levi's jeans, which seems to be his jean of choice (I'd love to see him try a pair of RRL's or even Dior Homme) while Stacy wore a pair of Rag & Bone boot cut jeans with a Tees by Tina tank. I love that the hem on these jeans has been let out, I remember when that was a big trend a few years ago and it seems like some brands like Elizabeth & James and Rag & Bone are bringing it back on some of their styles.

"A world where children are loved by strangers, by people in far away places, by soldiers of the enemy nation, is a world of hope."
"Majority of the time we are dealing with commonness and familiarity. The normality of these aspects in life rarely kindles excitement, so we figure life is boring. But common sense contains much of life's essence, and familiarity encompasses abundant wisdom. Embrace the common and explore the familiar, so that we can grasp the insight of life of today and beyond."
"Conscience lays the foundation. Ideology may provide explanations for the actions. He who is hollowed by greed with neither remaining has no character nor integrity, because all he is but a puppet. He is the one must be removed from any public office."
"When the sole purpose of the parties is defeating each other, the obvious casualty is the well-being of the people."
"Knowing the truth sometimes can be painful, but it is a commitment to heal the wound. A democracy should have the confidence in trusting its own strength, and should realize that hoodwinking its members is but self decaying."
"How beautiful in the world are the smiling faces of thy children of Mother Earth that bringeth peace to her bodieth."
"The teaching of tolerance is well intended. But to truthfully address and adequately depreciate prejudice, we need fundamental teaching of respect. It is only with respect that is genuinely indiscriminative."
"Most of the time the light we lit up is for ourselves not to fall in the dark. Then when thousands kindle a light each, there will be no darkness."
"Love is nature, not a responsibility to be assumed or an attitude to be acquired. If lost, I would characterize the procedure to get it back as Recovery."

Clean Diesel (CDTI) +0.5% AH after offering support for the Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association's recent statement regarding the slow pace of diesel retrofit sales under the mandatory California Truck and Bus Regulation. CDTi believes this may partly stem from the level of operator education and the intensity of state enforcement actions.

"At first, when I heard about the planes running into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon, I was shocked at how people could do a thing like that. My second reaction was that I was mad that they did that. Why would someone do something like that? It brought up a lot of unanswered questions that needed to be answered like what did we do to them? and are we going to go to war with them? Next I thought how would the nation react? Would we come together as a nation, or would we break out in riot and rebel?" - C.J. Carpenter, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"One day can bring an enormous amount of change in a nation, not to mention one person. As the fatal events of Sept. 11 took place, I was personally affected. No longer am I consumed with my selfish daily priorities, unappreciative ways or unpatriotic attitude. I have learned many things through these tragic events. But one thing I think we all have gained from the happenings of Sept. 11 is an amazing American spirit." - Taylor Simpson, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"On the morning of Sept. 11, I was in English class. My principal told us what was happening in New York, and I couldn't believe what was going on. My life had felt safe without threats to the security of our nation. We didn't know who was responsible or if they were going to attack again. Sept. 11 changed the course of history. Our nation now lives in constant fear of another attack. People hope that the government can prevent another attack, but we have no guarantee they can or will." - Hilary Snyder, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"Sept. 11 was a huge turning point in my life. I began to feel a weird urgency to return to God because we were in the last days. I felt like it was the dast day of my life. That night at church, I wept like never before. Something inside me was screaming out for God. I knew I had to choose right then and there to return to God or not. I finally broke down and repented before God. I felt so free and God gave me a peace in spite of the terrible storm going on around me." - Christy King, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"As I watched the replays of that fateful event, there were two questions burning in my mind. Why? Why would someone do something like this. Though I had no friends or family perish in the attack, I felt pained for those who did. Why? The second question was: what would I have done if I was in that situation? Would I rush in to save someone's life? So now, after the tragedy, I daily try to find the courage to do what is, and will always be, necessary if I was thrust into that situation." - Taylor Hays, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"Sept. 11 changed me and the world around me. Although life has now resumed to `normal,' the effects of this tragedy are displayed in the actions of others. Personally, the attack mainly affected my cares and goals. I began to realize how suddenly a life can be taken. Because we aren't guaranteed every day, we should help those who are hurting while we can. This tragedy shocked, but helped, Americans to become closer and more unified. Prayer has become acceptable and even encouraged in American homes and schools. Sept. 11 helped me realize the benefits of freedom in the U.S." - Ashley Weir, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"Considering that I was not directly affected by the attack, I haven't changed as a person. However, the changes that have taken place in society since Sept. 11 will continue to impact my life style. Though my life style has mildly changed in the aspect of conveniences, for the victims of the attack, things will never be the same. I've thought a lot about life lately, and have found that tomorrow is, above all things, uncertain. It makes me appreciate today for what it is: opportunity." - Tanner Beggs, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"Things have changed since Sept. 11. For instance, the fear that flows through our world was not as evident before. Everywhere you go there is a fear that something might happen. Anywhere you walk, you could be in a position for something to occur. We live in this fear because of people who came into our country to try to destroy us. They had no other purpose than to tear us down; they did not succeed. Although they tainted our image, our country came back brighter than before. We all joined and united together to become stronger than ever." - Matt Benton, Trinity Fellowship Christian School junior
"Sept. 11. The day that changed the lives of everyone around the world. The day countries united despite their differences. America has shown the terrorists we are strong and can live through this. We as Americans should try and forgive the terrorists but never forget those who lost their lives that tragic September day when the sky blackened only to let the light shine through on the heroes who helped everyone throughout the year." - O Dominique Hernandez, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I feel that a lot of things have changed, like now people are more united than ever, we helped each other to comfort one another. Still, I feel like my life has changed forever and respect myself more than ever. Every time I heard about what happened on Sept. 11, I couldn't stop thinking about the tragedy at the Twin Towers. Watching the news on television made me more sad because they would show people jumping off the building. I would never forget that day." - Nutcher S., Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I think the effects of Sept. 11 have changed Americans' way of life. It has changed the way we look at the world. Now little things don't go unnoticed and not everything is taken for granted. We have become a stronger and more united nation since Sept. 11." - Megan Moon, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"The tragic incident that happened on Sept. 11 was indeed one of the most horrible tragedies in America in years. When I walked into the classroom that morning and saw what was happening on the T.V., I was totally stunned. All I could do was stare at the television in shock. When I eventually pulled my eyes away from the T.V., I looked around at my classmates and saw looks of fear, sorrow and confusion. I could tell that it had struck them the same way it had struck me." - Laura Leedy, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"On Sept. 11 last year, it was a saddest thing that happen to America. At the World Trade Center, the people in that building got hurt. Some died because they didn't know what would happen to them. It happened real fast. I think nobody can't forget this date and where it happened. I feel sorry about some of the parents who are gone forever. They don't even have time to say goodbye to their kids. Some kids have lost their mother or father. Who will be responsible for them? Some kids, like a new born baby who was in World Trade Center with the parent, lost a beautiful life and lost a beautiful future from this. I think it won't happen if humans don't hate each other. Some innocent people had to die for it. Afghanistan, who was the bomber, we won't forget what you did to us. We will strike you back like you did to our people. If I have a chance to talk or meet bin Laden I might ask him what America did to him and why he hates us? I hope we won't receive the bad news like this anymore. God bless America, land of peace and freedom." - Namfon, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"About Sept. 11, I don't have much to say except our country's unity has gotten stronger. But some people are crazy and do bad stuff since then. I would say that it might have change me, or maybe it hasn't but it has changed the U.S." - Thi Phan, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"After Sept. 11, all the security, travel and the way of life of people around the world changed. When Sept. 11 happened, I was in Thailand and after that day we all talked about it in the school all the American teachers that taught us expressed their feeling about it to us. They were very shocked about it. All the airport security in Thailand has changed after that, they check our bags many times and it takes a lot more time than the past. After that, the news about anthrax has spread and all the post office workers have to take more time to check it so it takes a lot longer to send just a message letter to other people. At that time my mom was going come to visit my brother, who lives here in Dallas, but when Sept. 11 happened, she canceled the ticket because she's worried about it. About six months later, my family has come to the United States of America and all the security in the Dallas airport has changed. They x-ray every bag of foreigners and they don't allow any other people than passenger to get into the gate anymore. Sept. 11 really change everyone's way of life - especially in U.S.A and it will never be the same again for a long time." - Palat Ayuwathana, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"Sept. 11 has seen many blow back around America. Jobs have folded, people have lost all they had in stocks and many have lost family. I haven't been really affected by it, but I know people who are going through perilous times as their families struggle to survive in the economic battle. As businesses file for bankruptcy and more stock holders `sell, sell, sell,' the economic pyramid is collapsing, slowly but surely." - R. Harris, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"Ever since that fateful September morning, our country has been subject to change. We, the people, have been forced to look a little deeper inside ourselves and a little closer at others. We the people, a phrase that we take such pride in, but was all but forgotten before the tragedy of death and terror shook the foundations of our country. Once we realized that all that our forefathers had worked for, hoped for and even died for; once we realized that the rights and privileges that we had taken for granted were called into question; our eyes were opened. The terrorist attacks completely failed in their purpose instead of tearing our country apart, it brought us together. Faith was restored and the bond between the American people was strengthened in such a way that before seemed impossible. Whether drastic or minor, gradual or sudden, national or personal, change has occurred. America is awake. - Katie Frazier, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"The Sept. 11 incident was devastating and changed every American's life forever. When the news had came out about the terrorist attacks, the whole school was notified. Once notified, the televisions were turned on and every classroom was tuned to CNN. It felt like a dream. It was like a dream. It was like something that we never thought could happen happened in the blink of an eye. The world was devastated and urging to get the thought out of their mind, just like me." - Marytza Samaniego, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I feel sad and scared. Because if about 2,800 died in the disaster, and you can feel how huge it was. It was so bad that a lot of family and children died and they never knew what happened. Some kids lost their parents, I think they will be sad and worry now about their future. About me, I was scared because I had to leave my family for long and I was worried if the time I have to go back to my country I would have to change for flight of airplane. Will one of it happen to me? If it happens I will lost everything in my life. That makes me feel sad and maybe it was the same way that people in this disaster think." - Sansan, N., Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"The effects of Sept. 11 were great. Everything in our little world changed. Most were for the better, like national security which went through the roof. But other things changed that weren't so good, like our feelings toward the middle east (they'll be sorry). Another thing that changed was our sense of security. Now everyone seems to have a small level of paranoia that we will be attacked again and I have no doubt that they will try again. But as all of the speeches and T-shirts and posters say, `We will not live in fear' or at least we can try not to. But the worst effect that I think happened was the loss of happiness in all our hearts. Everyone in this country seems to be sad all the time since then, even when they're laughing. Maybe it's because we get reminded of it everyday by the news and media. Frankly who cares if things are on the up and up or what our troops are doing. I think it's getting really annoying that every time you turn on the T.V. you hear something about it, and it's kind of making me sick. That's just my opinion, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only on who thinks this way." - Mark J. McKnight, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I feel it was a very terrible terrorist act that never should have happened. It is heartbreaking how insensitive people can be. My heart went out to all the victims and terrorist. So many people were affected by this act, even if they didn't have anybody there. This terrorist act changed the whole world. If you say or even accidentally do the wrong thing you can get into big serious trouble. To this day, I don't know who I can trust anymore. This terrible act is something I, and the rest of the world, would never forget." - Angela M. Lucero, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I think that what happened on Sept. 11 was a sad experience for everyone. The people of this great nation lost a lot of its `brothers' and `sisters.' Sept. 11 was a time of mourning, and it is and will be a time of remembering, but I don't think we should dwell on the past so much that it keeps us from enjoying the gifts of today and the beautiful things that God has given us. `There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time of war and a time of peace.' Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a,4,8" - Missy Musick, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"One year later and the fear still lingers, but so does our perseverance in tragedy and misfortune. Confused and scared, we came together for each other not for our own self gain. We didn't disagree with each other but put our differences aside to better all of us. Hopefully all the beneficial uniting will continue and we can avoid further disarray." - Andy Cruz, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"Dark clouds billowed over a world held hostage. Saddened faces captivated with the destruction of loved ones and lost ones. Prayers took flight to protect the wounded and wounded at heart. The U.S. stood tall and worked with what time they had to save lives. A year has passed and the heavens are now graced with thousands of new angels. The days of darkness are soon to be over, the clouds have lifted. Thank the Lord." - Jessica Marez, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"Have you recently seen the commercial where it's in a neighborhood on Sept. 11 and the next day Sept. 12 the neighborhood is covered with flags and patriotic symbols? Ask yourself what did Sept. 11 do to America? It brought the kindness and love for our wonderful country out, but like always ugliness rears it's head and you saw the worst of America. Strike a nerve yet? Well, I am addressing the treatment of Arab origin Americans whom up until Sept. 11 lived normal American lives. These Arab/Americans, whom not only felt the heartache that tragic day but shed tears as you and I, are now the enemy. So as an American, ask yourself not only did that day bring sadness but did it as well bring hate for fellow Americans? Up until Sept. 11, Arab's were common people as you and I. Now after that fateful day, some may not feel safe crossing a street. So ask yourself how did Sept. 11 really effect America?" - Megan Holman, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"I feel like Sept. 11 pulled us all together. It made us open our eyes. No one ever really expected it to happen. Now everyone is pulling together to try to prevent planned attacks. I just wish it wouldn't have taken such a tragic ordeal in order for us to realize what we have. I guess the saying `You never know what you have till it's gone' is really true. I just hope something like this never happens again. - Lena Johnson, Holy Cross Catholic Academy
"To me Sept. 11 was a very sad and emotional day that changed the lives of many of our citizens." - Shelby Knapp, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 to me was a day that opened up America's eyes. After Sept. 11, America became a united nation. There was a bond that was formed. People from all over the nation banded together to help those in need. The terrorist group that did this had no idea that we would come together like this. More than likely they thought that we would fall apart. Thank you, America, for coming together like you did." - Tabitha Jernigan, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 affected many people in many ways, but the thing that affected me the most was patriotism. Everyone suddenly became more patriotic. It was cool." - Randall Lamb, Randall High School senior
"To me, the Sept. 11 attack was very devastating. I didn't have any family or friends there, but I know how it feels to lose a loved one. On Sept. 11 more than 5,000 families lost a loved somebody and to me that is very depressing." - Brad Simms, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 means a lot to me because it affected everyone in America. It made me think of what we (as Americans) have: freedom and everything that matters. It matters because what they did was wrong and they should be punished for what they did." - Jake Butler, Randall High School junior
"I walked into my living room on Sept. 11 and was immediately informed of the attack on the World Trade Center by my parents. My heart dropped into my stomach as I saw the disturbing footage on my television screen. One year later, America is still recovering from the tragic event. The attack made me feel a strong sense of nationalism for the United States. Now I am convinced that America is the greatest country in the world and that we are strong enough to get through anything. I am very proud to be an American." - Rachel Nelson, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 had a drastic effect on the nation by ripping us of our security and dignity as well as igniting a national epidemic of fear. The first time I heard the devastating news, I was in shock and waited for someone to tell me it was fake, but no one reassured me that Sept. 11 wasn't real. I was then made aware of mortal fragility when I heard all the heartbreaking fatalities. My heart goes out to anyone who has felt the consequences of a split world engaged in warfare." - Jennifer Christy, Randall High School senior
"Sept. 11 is one of, if not the most, horrifying event that I have ever witnessed. Sitting in my first period class, I was surprised by a visit from a student going from class to class telling teachers to turn on their monitors. The second plane hit right as the monitor came on. Everyone in my class sat speechless. The only sounds were crying and sobbing. Sept. 11 changed the lives of so many men and women. The families of the victims were in my thoughts and prayers for very long and I still have sympathy for all the families." - Brittnee Dunavin, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 put a shock through my heart. I could not understand how any one could do such a thing. It brought my classmates and I closer together, but at the same time it put fear and pain into our hearts forever. I will never forget that day." - Raysha Windham, Randall High School senior
"To me Sept. 11 was a very emotional day that changed some peoples lives forever. I didn't know anyone involved in the attack, but I know that it must have been difficult for those who did. Sept. 11 was a very tragic day that changed America forever." - Lacey Husmann, Randall High School junior
"When the ordeal on Sept. 11 happened, I was afraid and scared. I didn't know what would happen to Amarillo if one of them happened to come here. They would probably prove that they really don't care about anyone else but them. I was so scared I was telling myself and everyone I wasn't going anywhere until I knew it was safe. When I also found out I began to think about family members. Because we all might have some part of our family near where the planes ended up. I wish they wouldn't have done this here." - Stephanee Shackelford, Randall High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 did affect me in many ways. I may not have known all those people, but I could see how it would affect their families because I have lost a loved one, so I know what those people are going through right now. I remember when Sept. 11 happened. I was living in Tyler at that time. I remember walking into my second period algebra class and seeing that on the TV. It gave me chills seeing the Twin Towers fall over and over again, like it was a nightmare that you couldn't get out of. It will be etched in our minds forever." - Bryn Gadry, Randall High School sophomore
"Anger, hurt and fear are a lot of the emotions I felt. I will never forget that scary day when our assignments were halted and our heads bowed to pray. I still have a hate for those Afghan people and I'm not sure what can make me change my feeling. It makes me mad to think that people would kill so many innocent lifes just to start a feud. I hope we have all learned a lesson from the wrong that was done." - Megan Packebush, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 had a great impact on our nation. It also had an impact on me. It showed me that you never know when you could die. So we need to live each day to the fullest and get right with God now. We may not get the chance tomorrow." - Mindy Bagley, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 is a very sad day. It's a day of remembrance and a day of mourning for many. What Sept. 11 represents to me is strength and courage. The way our country came together to help one another in that time was unbelievable. It's just sad that it took something like that to make us all come together." - Josh Keesee, Randall High School senior
"Sept. 11 has made me even more proud to be an American. It was very tragic having all those people die, but I don't think we `lost' anyone. I think we gained a lot of angels up in heaven. Sept. 11 will always be remembered." - Yessenia Torres, Randall High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 makes me think about all the things that I am blessed with. Not big things either, just little things like breathing. I am also blessed to wake up each morning alive knowing that life can be cut short just as Sept. 11 proved. Death has no time and it doesn't care who you are. My prayers to out to all the Sept. 11 families." - Vanessa Pedrosa, Randall High School senior
"When it happened, it made me angry and since then with everyday life it only comes to mind when I see or hear something about it. It still angers me that the problem has not been solved. I find it to be a hypocrisy that these people will die just to kill Christians and call us infidels then kill so many of our people and go hide in a hole in the ground are cowards." - Cory Orr, Randall High School senior
"The date of Sept. 11 will be branded in our minds for the rest of our lives. From that very morning we will always remember where we were and what we were doing. The fear that swept through our great nation was unparalleled. But in the end, I believe it brought our nation together and is now stronger than ever!" - Dusty Downs, Randall High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 was, aside from the worst tragedy since Pearl Harbor, a call to arms. After Sept. 11, national pride was at an all-time high. And it's still stronger now than it was before that morning. Red, white and blue was seen everywhere. Before Sept. 11, Americans took America for granted and we weren't proud, but now we're all back to how we should be." - Cody Holliman, Randall High School senior
"What Sept. 11 means to me, is a dedication to the people who lost their lives." - John Pena, Randall High School senior
" `I feel that what took place was a tragic event for all patriotic Americans.' We rose to the challenge of overcoming this and making sure they knew not to mess with US again." - Josh Hadley, Randall High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 made me realize that we don't live in a perfect world, that some stuff can go wrong. I feel like our whole nation is filled with patriotism. Everywhere you look you see an American flag. God Bless the USA." - Zach Gossett, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 was a tragedy I will never forget. At the time, it signified the horrible things people would do just to prove a point. But now I think it signified the freedom that we are so blessed to have. It unified the country and helped us realize that things could be taken away before you know it. I think it taught us all not to take things for granted and to cherish what we have." - Meagan Wilson, Randall High School sophomore
"It showed me that the U.S. is not as well protected as I thought we were." - Andrew Meador, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 means a lot to me because it brought us all together as one." - Breland Simmons, Randall High School junior
"To me Sept. 11 means hate against the United States of America." - Blake Cartrite, Randall High School junior
"To me Sept. 11 means patriotism." - Kiel Anderson, Randall High School sophomore
"Unity, Freedom and Patriotism - Craig Fenwick, Randall High School senior
"Sept. 11 has opened my eyes because before terrorism hit our country, it was just something that happened in books a long time ago. Terrorism wasn't supposed to happen to us, our country was strong and indestructible. Sept. 11 opened my eyes to see the hurt that is in our world today. Now our nation is more aware of what goes on outside of our country instead of just focusing on ourselves. We have also turned to God in our time of need and hurt. I think that Sept. 11 has opened my eyes and the eyes of our nation." - Isis Rodriguez, Randall High School junior
"Sept. 11 is still like some stunt out of a movie. Being so far away from it didn't allow it to hit home. It's kind of like the War of the Worlds. That incident years ago when those people played a prank that aliens were attacking. That is what it felt like to me. Being so far away, it took a long time for it to finally hit home. It wasn't a prank or a stunt. It was real. People actually died. Sept. 11 was a great loss that all of America shared - not just New York." - Dustin Rogers, Randall High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 is a day I will never forget. There are no words to describe my feelings watching the towers come down. Although what happened was awful, it brought the United States together as one. We are now stronger as a nation and lean more on each other for support instead of trying to stand on our own. Although the actual event was tragic, I think God for bringing something good out of it. The lives that were sacrificed was a huge price to pay, but our nation is better because of it." - Cheryl Reed, Randall High School junior
"On the day of Sept. 11 I was scared. To me it was a day of shock and sadness all over the United States. When the anniversary comes up, it will be a day of mourning and to remember the ones who lost their lives to a terrible thing." - Brytni Landry, Amarillo High School senior
"On Sept. 11 I was very shocked when it happened. It was a very sad moment for everybody because a lot of people lost loved ones, friends and family. But in a way it brought the United States closer together and showed that we will stand up for the country we love." - Jessie Bell, Amarillo High School freshman
"I think is was scary because all those people died on that day. The people that died didn't do anything to the other people so they didn't deserve to die that day. I just hope they don't do it again." - Halee Hazelbaker, Amarillo High School sophomore
"To me the events of Sept. 11 are good, but also bad. It is bad about how many lives were lost, but it is good because all of the rest of us have gotten closer. I am upset that it had to happen this way, but the results that have come from it are truly amazing." - Dani Cunningham, Amarillo High School junior
"Sept. 11 has a lot of effect on my life. It has made me thankful for everything that I have, my family and my home, though I also grieve for those many who have gone through such a tragedy. I believe as Americans we have the power to stand up through it all and be proud of our country." - Tray Henderson, Amarillo High School junior
"The Sept. 11 tragedy devastated our entire country. As the planes destroyed our buildings, they took away the lives of our friends and family. As we come to the first anniversary, the horrible memories of our loved ones meeting their fates makes us sad. All we can do now is hope that nothing like this will ever happen again." - Britni Rodriguez, Amarillo High School freshman
"Sept. 11 made me more aware of my surroundings and of how lucky I am to live in such great freedom. When America was attacked, I felt sorrow for those who died and tremendous hate for those that did it. I was very pleased with President Bush's reaction to this event and now more than ever I am proud to be an American." - London Cantwell, Amarillo High School freshman
"I remember that I was sitting in my Algebra II class and the principal came over the P.A. and told the teachers to check their e-mail. Our teacher didn't tell us the contents of the message, but it was probably for the better so we wouldn't go all out and forget our lesson and that stuff. Then I walked into my Journalism I class, and lo and behold, I saw the WTC towers with smoke coming out of them. I thought to myself, `Hmm...That can't be good.' Sadly, that was the first time I had ever seen the buildings that I could remember." - Charles Jarvis, Amarillo High School junior
"It has made me think that there is more of a threat of war happening. Also it makes you fell sad for all the people who lost their loved ones. There should be a special event or something to remember Sept. 11 by. It made people realize that America isn't invincible." - Todd Martel, Amarillo High School sophomore
"How I feel about Sept. 11 is that it was a tragedy that is going to change everything. I think it is very sad some people just want to kill every American. When I first found out what happened on Sept. 11, I was shocked and sad but I also knew that God was in control. I'm proud to know that even though this tragedy happened, they can't keep our spirits down." - Ashley Bennett, Amarillo High School freshman
"Sept. 11 has changed me. When I heard about the attacks, it made me think how not to waste my life. Sept. 11 also made me more patriotic. Before, I didn't really have anything with an American Flag. Now, I have a lot of things." - Stephanie McDonald, Amarillo High School freshman
"When I first heard about Sept. 11 I knew our country would be changed forever. I remember sitting in health class watching the videos of the planes hitting the buildings and thinking things would never be the same." - Missy Strickland, Amarillo High School sophomore
"At first Sept. 11 started off normal for me, I woke up and went to football, but when I got into the school everyone was in a classroom watching the T.V. and right when I walked in I saw the first tower collapse. First I was scared, I didn't know what was going to happen. But soon after that I became more angry than anything else. I thought `Who would do this?' All of those innocent Americans were now dead, the World Trade Center has fallen and the Pentagon had been hit too." - Trent Walher, Amarillo High School
"When It happened, I was in school and I remember the teacher turning on the T.V. All I felt was extreme shock and my eyes were glued to the screen. Sept. 11 hasn't really changed the way I live in general, but it has changed the way I feel and think of others. I think the country as a whole has changed in this way." - Kasey Baker, Amarillo High School junior
"The recent tragedies that occurred on Sept. 11 have affected many people. In my personal experience, I felt completely terrified that something so awful could happen in this country. It also made me realize that even though something can happen so far away it can still affect you." - Janice Strause, Amarillo High School junior
"On Sept. 11, I was at home sick. When it happened I was asleep, I remember my mom coming in and telling me what had happened. At first, it didn't dawn on me. But as I watched the towers collapse over and over again, I realized what had happened. To this day it is still hard to believe that somebody could do this to our nation. I can only imagine how hard the anniversary is going to be. Not only for our nation as a whole, but especially for the families of those lost on that fateful day." - Caitlin Welch, Amarillo High School senior
"As the first anniversary of the attacks on America approaches, I look back now and see the widespread effect that it has had on our country. Perhaps the thing that has amazed me the most is the way that America has come together for one common cause." - Kaleb Leija, Amarillo High School senior
"One year later after Sept. 11, I feel things are different and yet the same. It's different in that there is more security at places like the airports, yet most people are tired of seeing the same images of the Trade Center over and over again. Most people want to put this behind them as do I. I just want everything to go back to normal, even though it won't." - Brandon Edminster, Amarillo High School
"Sept. 11 was definitely a life changing event for me. I was sitting in English when I found out. The only reason we did find out was because one of my friends was on the teacher's computer and read the e-mail. My teachers were instructed not to turn on the TVs, but most of them did. Sept. 11 was really sad, but it was a really good day too. My baby brother was born that day. So I looked past all the grief and rejoiced. I think Sept. 11 brought our nation together more." - Rachel Knapp, Amarillo High School
"I was in my French class last year on Sept. 11 when the World Trade Center incident occurred. I remember automatically worrying about my dad because he works at Pantex, then later on in the day after I got home, I remember completely letting loose and bawling after it all set in (and that is not in my character at all). Now that it has been a year, I feel that people have definitely become more patriotic, and I myself have grown in my faith. I'm angry that it happened, but I feel that America can be strong with God's guide." - Katie Hulsey, Amarillo High School junior
"I think that Sept. 11 was tragic and that it should have been a wake-up call for people to say that we need changes and be more aware of our surroundings. Although I think now, a year later, the media should let it rest. While it should always be remembered, the families have suffered enough and should now be left alone to cope with their loss instead of continually hounded by reporters and other media sources." - Staci Kelly, Amarillo High School junior
"Sept. 11 has affected me in many ways. I was in total shock when it happened. I never expected something that dramatic to ever happen in the all-so-safe United States. I think from all of this, I have come to respect the soldiers and volunteers that helped out at that time. I especially have a total respect for soldiers who now are still fighting the war against terrorism." - Ashley Bitonel, Amarillo High School junior
"With the unexpected events that occurred nearly one year ago, our country was changed not only for the worse, but mainly for the better. Our country is now in the most compassionate and closely-tied state it has ever been. Our sense of patriotism is climbing day by day to unprecedented hights, and I feel fortunate to live in a country as strong and free as ours. In God may we trust." - Spencer Reineros, Amarillo High School senior
"Since Sept. 11 things have changed dramatically. But for me not a lot is too different. When the event happened I was eating breakfast at home watching the first tower burn not really understanding the meaning and life changes that would occur. I went to school and quickly realized what was going on. It was terrifying, yet almost not too surprising. Since that day, I am still scared of shootings, bombs and I don't feel safe anywhere. It's just sad to me now not to have that security." - Jessica Cargle, Amarillo High School junior
"Pearl Harbor, the Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine. All of these represent violence and hatred. However, nothing has affected our country on the scale that Sept. 11 did. A bit more than 11 months since that fateful day. I still feel the same as if it were yesterday. I did not feel fear. Flying does not scare me more than it did before. All I feel is anger and hurt. And an everlasting desire to see those responsible punished." - Jessica Noland, Amarillo High School
"I'm still in denial over the whole thing. I have to accept that it did happen and that bin Laden is still out there. I was watching CNN the other day and they said that they have cleared out ground zero and have not yet decided what to do with it. My opinion on that is to build two twin towers. America is I think the strongest country in the world - I think they should build them back and show the world who's boss and that nothing will tear us apart." - Kristi Botkin, Amarillo High School junior
"A year hasn't even passed and it seems like everyday another person forgets. Yes, people have flags on their cars and in a few windows, but not like they used to. No one even talks about it any more." - Hayden Baca, Amarillo High School junior
"Sept. 11. It is a reminder of how we can pull together and become something bigger than evil! It was almost like a horror movie; you just couldn't believe what was going on. It was hard to comprehend that it was real. So as Sept. 11 approaches I hope everyone will remember the hardship we have gone through to pull together as one! - Lacey Marshall, Amarillo High School senior
"I feel closer to my friends and family, however, I had these close-nit relationships to begin with. I think I am more aware of the world around me and I am more tolerant to differences in people." - Kala Weller, Amarillo High School senior
"My thoughts on Sept. 11 were of confusion. It happened so quickly and so many people said so may things. I was in shock. But since nearly a year has passed, I don't feel that way anymore. I feel secure and believe that I don't have to worry about anything. I feel confidence in the government to keep its people safe. - Karl Braun, Amarillo High School junior
"After the tragic day on Sept. 11, the nation has changed different perspectives, I feel. I took a family vacation this summer where we flew to Las Vegas and now, even more than ever, it is very serious. The world also has strong views for God and right after it happened it was awesome to see how many people turned to him. These are my views over Sept. 11." - Katie Cato, Amarillo High School junior
"We've made it a year. Surely that's a sign of many years to come. We've made it through this and I now know we can make it through anything." - Todd Briscoe, Amarillo High School senior
"I think it was a very significant event by the way that it has changed the thoughts and actions of many people in America. It was devastating and will be remembered for many years to come." - Brittany Noblitt, Amarillo High School senior
"When I first found out about the attack, I thought it was some sort of sick joke. Later I found out that it was very real. Ever since Sept. 11, everyone has been paranoid. It's awkward to go to an airport and have them do a full search on you just for safety purposes." - Kelli Cutloe, Amarillo High School junior
"Sept. 11 made me realize that we shouldn't take things so seriously. We're only here for a short while so we shouldn't be so attached. Have fun while it lasts and don't take anything or anyone for granted." - Daryl Mitchell, Amarillo High School senior
"Sept. 11, will it happen again? This runs through my mind with fear of the terrorist. The thought when I found out about this attack - it seemed surreal. I was walking into my journalism class with CNN broadcasting this horrible event." - Hilary Hamby, Amarillo High School senior
"I really wasn't affected as bad as some other people were. Yes, I have sympathy for those who lost family members and loved ones. I'm worried that on the anniversary of these tragic events some other events might unfold." - Cynthia Becerra, Amarillo High School junior
"I will not allow Sept. 11 to change my life. I admit my jaw dropped like everyone elses on that horrific day. It made me less naive and helped me to put some things in perspective, but I refuse to say that it has affected the rest of my life. I still have faith in America and faith in the rest of the world. I will never forget Sept. 11, and I will think about the events a lot on the first anniversary, but after that I prefer to keep those memories in the past and move on." - Madeline Hollem, Amarillo High School junior
"Sept. 11 is a day that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I remember watching the twin towers fall on TV while I was at school. At first I had no idea what was going on. I couldn't ever remember what the twin towers were until I saw them fall. I was in complete shock and could not even comprehend what was happening. I may be only one American out of millions, but I felt threatened and scared. If someone could do this without our knowing, it could happen again. However, I feel a closer bond with my fellow Americans." - Stephanie , Amarillo High School junior
"I remember we were in school at the time and we watched everything happen and our school was sent on lock down. It scared me and made me sad to see all those people that were hurt for no reason. It also made me angry that people would even think about doing such horrible things to us, a country who helps out any other country when in need." - Rose Sotelo, Amarillo High School senior
"Sept. 11, it still plays over in my mind when people mention the date. I'm still afraid that something like the incidents of that day will happen again. I think that when the anniversary comes around everyone will begin to remember the horrific events that happened that day." - Amber Albracht, Amarillo High School senior
"I was in history class when we heard about a plane hitting the north tower of the WTC. We turned on the TV to watch the second plane slam into the south tower. Ever since then I've been worried about future attacks or war." - Leroy Davis, Amarillo High School senior
"On Sept. 11, I felt every emotion possible. I wasn't personally affected, fortunately. I'm a little bit scared about the upcoming anniversary. I hope nothing happens." - Brittany Barnes, Amarillo High School junior
"I'm still sad and frightened. I'm sad because a lot of people died and others lost their husbands, wives, daughters, sons and in-laws. I'm frightened because it can happen again. Even though we have taken precautions. I'm afraid its going to happen near or around the anniversary of Sept. 11." - Kate Wynn, Amarillo High school senior
"I can't even believe it has been a year since the tragedy. It feels like a few days ago that I was in my theater class. My teacher read an e-mail about the events and we watched it on TV. Our history class canceled its test. Mrs. Kelly cried with us. A year later, I fear it won't seem as real to us, that we might forget." - Jessica Pan, Amarillo High School senior
"Sept. 11 was a very unique day in our country's history. Not just because it was an attack on our soil, but because it was the day we pulled together as a nation. Flags, hugs and patriotism were vibrant and everywhere. However, I do think it's sad that our unity and fellowship is discontinued. The feelings America shared in that tragedy have not lasted. It's sad it couldn't even last a year." - Nicci Johnston, Amarillo High School senior
"When the towers were hit and the planes went down on Sept. 11, it was very nerve-racking. Now that it has been a year the country has seen more patriotic songs, shows and products. Some would speculate that all of that is just a marketing scheme, but after I reevaluated that thought I realized that it is not just marketing. It is truly a patriotic uniting for the country." - Kristina Hartman, Amarillo High School senior
"My thoughts on Sept. 11 as the anniversary nears are mixed. I feel sad when I think of the pain that the families of the deceased had to go through. I feel fury when I think of those innocent lives lost for nothing other than they were doing their jobs and of the babies and children who are now missing a parent and of the husbands and wives who are now widowed. But mostly I feel regret that this disaster could have been avoided and wasn't and I hope with all my heart that America won't have to go through this again." - Randi Larson, Amarillo High School freshman
"9-11. To any American this means emergency or help. But this year on Sept. 11 will be the first anniversary of a great tragedy to our nation. We all watched and wept as the twin towers fell to the ground. As we as a nation fell to our knees. Sept. 11 has brought this great nation together as a family once again. But did it have to take so many lives, as well as hopes and dreams, to get us to come together again? Somewhere right now, a man laughs over the grief he has helped cause us all. Emergency, help, those are what that man will need after justice and vengeance are served. Until then all we can do is pray, stick together and always remember 9-11. - Kayla Fuller, Amarillo High School sophomore
"When I hear Sept. 11, I feel remorse and very angry at the same time. Something so tragic. It seems like it was only weeks ago when this happened. I was sitting in world history class when it happened. The rest of the day we sat and watched in almost every class the most tragic thing that I've experienced. When the realization of it hit me, I felt very upset. Now when I hear Sept. 11 my heart will feel for those who lost their lives or loved ones on that disturbing day." - Whitney Moore, Amarillo High School junior
"When I think about Sept. 11, it angers and frightens me, but at the same time I am grateful that it brought our country together. I am saddened by all the lives lost and my heart goes out to all those who lost someone in this terrible tragedy." - Chelsey Osborne, Amarillo High School sophomore
"When I think about Sept. 11, I think about having second period and my friend Kimber running up to me talking about how the Pentagon had been bombed. I thought she was kidding. When I arrived in my third period class and found out about the plane crashes, I got this feeling in the pit of my stomach that America would change forever. That is still the feeling I get when I think about Sept. 11. - Kara Dillman, Amarillo High School sophomore
"The Sept. 11 attacks made me feel extremely mad and afraid. The fact that someone could damage the country like the terrorists did makes me furious. I am also very afraid this may happen again. Our country has been through so much. I don't know if we could survive another attack. - Lean Parkard, Amarillo High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 - the day people will remember where they were in America's worst, but greatest, hours. A time of grief and fury for innocence was taken. Now is the time we are changed not only for the better, but as one nation. Even though the dreadful day will come in scarce among us, we stand together strong and free. The United States - for that is who and what "We the People" are, forever. - Annie Couture, Amarillo High School junior
"When I hear Sept. 11, I think of all the people that died in the twin towers. The terrorist attacks happened when I was in second period. As I watched the coverage I was appalled that it was actually happening. Sept. 11 sparked many things good and bad. One example would be that it really brought our country together. One bad example is that many people died in the buildings. It was a horrible thing that we all witnessed and will be recorded in history forever." - Daniel Loughlin, Amarillo High School sophomore
"Whenever I hear Sept. 11, I will always remember where I was, what time it was and what was happening. I will remember that day was the scariest day ever because I had to worry about my family - especially for my cousin. I will always wonder that day what the future will end up being and if a war will start in my life time." - Nancy Capetillo, Amarillo High School sophomore
"When we talk about Sept. 11, I can't help but be a little scared. They came as a surprise, and they could easily do it again. We have taken many precautions throughout our country, but they thought of something that great and I feel they can think of something two times greater." Janae Morris, Amarillo High School sophomore
"Sept. 11 brings a lot of pain, hurt and anger to people. Well, it does for me. Although I may not have any family members or friends who were there that day, I can't even imagine how those people feel. Osama taught us something that day. He taught Americans how to fear. He taught how we needed to become stronger and not try to be so independent. He taught us how to stand together, no matter who we are. He taught how to become one. So although he brought many tears to our eyes, he gave us a lesson we will never forget." - Tori Burks, Amarillo High School sophomore
"On Sept. 11 I was sitting in my speech class when all the sudden on the TV screen, I see the World Trade Center on fire. When I figured out what had been happening, I was in shock. Didn't know what to think. Now, almost a year later, you drive around town seeing all the patriotism and unity of our nation. I hope that spirit never wears off. Its a very sad tragedy. I don't know what to think even now. Should I be scared, sad, worried? On thing I do know is if we stick together, we can all make it through this." - Jake Mann, Amarillo High School sophomore
"I think we should kill everybody over there at Afghanistan on Sept. 11 for pay back. I would also want world peace. And I also think it should be a holiday for memory of the people who died. I was at school when this happened. I felt weird because everybody learned for no reason. - Dhammakal K. , Amarillo High School sophomore
"I was in my home asleep when Sept. 11 happened. I am not very worried about anything else happening because bin Laden now realizes America is not a pushover when it comes to terrorism. We will and are doing something about it, and we will fight back. I also do feel for all of the families that lost a loved one in the Sept. 11 attacks. - Mark Legg, Amarillo High School sophomore
"The effect of the events that Sept. 11 had on all of the lives in the United States is a great one. The whole of the nation has been different since the attacks. The nation has come together as a proud and patriotic group. The events that occurred on that day have changed by life in that now I seem to have more of a realistic view of life. I used to look at life in the perspective of `that won't happen to me.' After Sept. 11, I realized that more things might happen to me than I thought. Although the events of Sept. 11 did not affect me directly, I feel that they had an impact on my life." - Katie Deane, Ascension Academy
"I grew up on Sept. 11. Saying `Goodbye, I love You,' calling to check in, spending quality time with my family: that's what is important. Destroy our country? Yeah right. We are stronger than ever! Our beliefs, customs, love, freedom, everything has new-found determination. I admire President Bush for taking the losers on. Proudly, he's doing it just like a Texan - not in a big hurry but making sure it is done right, methodically and with vigilance. I guess I should say `Thanks slime for making me see what is important. You lose.' " - Shaye Cockran, Ascension Academy
"The horror of Sept. 11 was shocking. It was totally unexpected. When I saw both towers of the World Trade Center collapse, it was unreal. I was not personally affected by the terrorist act, but the world around me changed so rapidly. After the attack, I saw pictures, read articles, etc. and they just tore me up. I was affected emotionally because I felt some pain of the victims, when imagining `how I would feel.' Although I would never feel their pain, it still brought me to tears. I will pray for the victims and loved ones always and forever." - Emily Simmons, Ascension Academy
"It has been almost a year now since Sept. 11. It has not changed my life much, but it has effected my parents with buying clothes, school supplies, etc. It has changed a whole lot of people's lives. It changed lives when gas went down and came back up. September was an awful month. The people who died did not stand a chance. They did not know what was happening until it was too late. I know some people whose family members died. September has changed the lives of some people immensely and others none." - Adam Galvan, Ascension Academy
"Sept. 11 has not changed my life much or my family, but it has changed my town. People are saving money for emergencies or something. The airport is much tighter and there are more people working there. Even now some people are still afraid to step foot on an airplane and have been the many months since Sept. 11. (There is one person in my family though; it's my aunt in New York.) She lives a couple of miles from where the Twin Towers used to stand. Now she is more careful about flying." - Robert McClendon, Ascension Academy
"On the day of Sept. 11, I remember where I was. I was in school when my principal came on the speaker and said, `An airplane has hit the World Trade Center.' I remember one of my friends saying, `And what does that have to do with us?' I was thinking the same thing. It has changed my life immensely. Sept. 11 changed the way I look at my country. I understand how strong it is now. I am a little scared something might happen in the future, but I think George Bush has everything under control." - Kenneth Willburn, Ascension Academy
"On Sept. 11 two planes crashed into the World Trade Center, taking the lives of hundreds of people. It was truly a sad day in America, but why did it come as such a shock to us? Killing and bombing happen every day in unstable countries. Osama bin Laden just had the money and power to launch such a horrible attack. I think Osama bin Laden has achieved what he wanted. He has devastated us. If Sept. 11 has changed America, it has made her stronger. Hopefully it opened our eyes to see that we are not the only ones suffering." - Joe Coscia, Ascension Academy
"Sept. 11 made me realize how death affected many people. I did not know how horrible Sept. 11 was until someone close to me passed away. Whenever I look back to that time, I think of how it changed everyone. People lost their sons, daughters, parents, grandparents, spouses and best friends. It makes me think of how lucky I am to have my family to love and take care of me and how unfortunate others were to lose their family member(s). I now know not to take my family for granted." - Elizabeth Hopkins, Ascension Academy
"Since Sept. 11, an American flag has not been an uncommon sight to see on a car or in front of a house. As an effect of Sept. 11, many changes have been made, many for the better. An increase in security is rather noticeable in airports and large public places. Although it delays travelers and customers, it helps them feel safer and more secure. An abundance of patriotism has been refreshing result of this disaster. Many people have given their time and effort to help with the war on terrorism. The terror attacks have been somewhat a blessing in disguise." - Kelsey Madsen, Ascension Academy
"I attend summer camp at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas. Every evening while lowering the flag, `God Bless America,' by Kate Smith, is played over the loudspeaker. Campers are instructed to stop and stand at attention with their hands over their hearts. Last summer, before Sept. 11, we were not respectful during that time. It was common to whisper, fidget, even ignore it! However, this summer campers encouraged one another to behave respectfully, probably in a less than polite manner. This story is a small example showing that everyone now is so much more respectful of our flag and country, even at a summer camp." - Lauren Eades, Ascension Academy
"Throughout life, I only remember seeing my uncle twice. On the date of Sept. 11, he would usually have gotten up and gone to work at the Pentagon. However, on this particular, he had not been in his morning routine and had not gone to work. Pretty soon after school, my Grandma called and told my mom about my uncle not showing up for work. She also told my mom that the wing that was hit was the wing that my uncle worked in. Uncle Dennis could have been killed, and it made me think about how I really did not know my family. I would really like to get to know them better." - Erica Bird, Ascension Academy

Labor's Loss in Wisconsin Seen Tempting Other Governors
The failure of a labor-backed effort to recall Wisconsin's governor -- in which 28 percent of members defied their unions' endorsement -- demonstrates a loss of political clout that may tempt other cash-strapped states to target public-worker benefits.
Republican Governor Scott Walker, whose successful efforts last year to restrict collective bargaining by public employees resulted in protesters occupying the statehouse, easily turned aside the June 5 challenge with 53 percent of the vote. At the same time, voters in California's second- and third- most populous cities approved measures to curb public employee pension costs that unions had opposed.
"The unions are dinosaurs and a meteor just hit the Earth," said Mordecai Lee, a government affairs professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. "The dinosaurs will slowly die out."
With union membership rates falling to record lows, and a series of setbacks at the ballot box, the election results are sure to embolden opponents, Lee said. Unions failed to get their preferred candidate on the Wisconsin ballot in last month's primary. In the general election, the labor-backed candidate, Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, was outspent by a margin of nine-to-one.
Labor leaders pointed at a bright spot: the possible recall of a Wisconsin state senator that would return the chamber to Democratic control if a slim election-night margin holds up.
AFL-CIO Reaction
Richard Trumka, the president of the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor federation, said the labor effort was hampered by voters who are simply turned off by the recall process.
"Recalls are pretty tough to win in a new era," Trumka told reporters yesterday. "This election wasn't about collective bargaining over the past month. I wish it had been."
Organized labor in other states may be targeted next, as governors seek to cut workers' benefits to balance budgets and take advantage of a flood of anti-union funding that could flow to their aid, Lee said.
Michigan could be the next battleground as workers push a ballot proposal to guarantee the collective-bargaining rights and stave off any Wisconsin-like legislation. Bills related to union membership have been introduced in 21 states during the 2012 legislative session, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
"Legislators and governors who lived in fear of them will no longer live in such fear," said Henry Olsen, vice president of the American Enterprise Institute and director of its National Research Initiative.
Other States
Other states have sought to strip workers' rights. Indiana in February adopted a proposal that allows workers to avoid paying union dues, while Ohio last year passed legislation to limit collective bargaining. Unions fought back, winning a referendum that repealed the Ohio law.
Public-sector unions are one of the few growth areas for labor, as autoworkers and steelmakers have been replaced by service providers. Government employees became a majority of U.S. union members in 2009 and are an important source of votes and donations for Democrats.
Walker, 44, elected in 2010, pushed legislation last year that required annual recertification votes by a majority of all members for public-employee union representation and made payment of membership dues voluntary.
Union Membership
Union membership in Wisconsin had fallen to 13.3 percent of the workforce last year. That was above the national average of 11.8 percent, though down from 14.2 percent in the state a year earlier, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
Democrats and union workers responded to Walker's efforts by turning Madison, the state's capital, into a flurry of protests, with a tent city and street-theater rallies against Walker. Unions led the effort to collect 900,000 signatures to force the recall vote, setting up a rematch of the 2010 race between Walker and Barrett.
The unions initially backed former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, who lost by 24 points to Walker in last month's primary. In the four-week general election tens of millions of dollars poured into the state, largely for Walker. Exit polls by CNN showed that 28 percent of union members, and 37 percent of voters living in households with a union member, backed Walker.
Obama Efforts
President Barack Obama stayed out of Wisconsin during the general election and posted a single item of support on Twitter this week. With union workers already supporting him, Obama may have worried about alienating the few undecided votes in the tight race he faces in November, Olsen said
Obama was favored over Romney, 51 percent to 44 percent, among those who voted in Wisconsin, according to the CNN exit poll. Obama won the state by 14 percentage points in 2008.
"If I were David Axelrod, I would have told Obama to do as little as possible here," Olsen said of Obama's chief campaign strategist. "Why insert yourself into a fight if you can't change minds anyway?"
Trumka said Obama's efforts in Wisconsin left some union workers with mixed feelings.
Organized labor has less money than it used to and fewer options for whom to support, Lee said. The AFL-CIO has already endorsed Obama's re-election over Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
"Labor unions are no longer a vital contributor to the Democratic Party," Lee said. "Right now the pendulum is swinging farther to the right."
The first U.S. governor to successfully fend off a recall, Walker, will probably emerge stronger as a champion of limited government and scourge of public-employee unions, Lee said. He is also becoming more a national figure while also gathering more political capital with the win.
"You aim to kill the king, you better not miss," Lee said. "Here they tried to kill the king and they lost."

AbstractFlight deck systems, like many safety critical systems, often involve complex interactions between multiple human operators, automated subsystems, and physical structures. Individual components are extensively evaluated and are often redundantly deployed, so catastrophic failures predominately arise not through component failure but as the result of a sequence of failures that cascade because of some unforeseen combination of off-nominal conditions. Such sequences may involve human operators, control algorithms, software implementations, physical structures, and other components of the system. Analyzing the potential for these failure scenarios is extremely difficult, not only because of the inherent complexity of such systems but also because of the multidisciplinary nature of the system itself. While many development tools exist to conduct deep analyses within individual disciplines, there is a lack of tools available for deep analysis of complex multidisciplinary designs. The goal of this proposed research project is thus to create a new class of development tool that allows designers to specify, design, integrate, and conduct analyses of complex systems across disciplinary boundaries. Through this new tool, the dynamic interactions between system components in the presence of off-nominal conditions can be explored to uncover systemic vulnerabilities, precursory conditions, and likely outcomes.

Air Malta Marks 20 years of Operation at Exeter Airport
Friday 02 July 2010
An Air Malta aircraft has become a regular Tuesday morning feature at Exeter Airport and this year the airline celebrates 20 years of operations to and from the South West.
The three hour flights linking Exeter and Malta started as a summer series in 1990. These quickly developed and extended into the winter and shoulder months and Air Malta is now planning the weekly charter service from April next year that will run throughout the summer season.
During recent meeting to discuss current market requirements and projections, Jamie Christon (left), Managing Director, Exeter Airport said: "We are pleased to mark Air Malta's 20 years of operations. This charter operation is very important for us as people can travel to Malta from an airport that is closer to home. Exeter Airport and Air Malta are providing a direct link for the airport's catchment area of about two million people."
Mr. Victor Mifsud (right), Head of Charter Sales at Air Malta on behalf of the airline thanked the management and staff of Exeter Airport as well as many other suppliers and the tour operators for all their support during the last 20 years. He also thanked the many locals who have become regular and loyal customers of Air Malta flights from Exeter.
The national airline operates flights offering a full service treatment to passengers consisting of a complimentary meal, 8Kgs free hand luggage allowance and 20Kgs free baggage allowance per person, in-flight entertainment and constant attention from the crew.

PETOSKEY — Another strong team performance helped the Cheboygan Little League Junior Boys (13-14) All-Star baseball team claim a 15-5 victory over Rogers City in a District 13 pool play contest in Petoskey on Wednesday.
With the victory, Cheboygan secured first place in Pool A, which consisted of Rogers City and Petoskey. Cheboygan won its first game with an 11-0 victory over Petoskey on Tuesday.
Cheboygan will now meet Indian River Tri-Rivers in a semifinal contest in Petoskey on Friday at 5:30 p.m. If Cheboygan wins on Friday, it will meet an opponent to be determined in the district championship game on Saturday at 10 a.m.
Leading a solid Cheboygan hitting attack was Mike Radle, who had three singles, a double, and finished with three RBI. Connor McMullen added three singles and an RBI, while Jayden Cronk had two singles and two RBI, Jacob Blaskowski hit a single and had two RBI, and Zach Stempky singled and had an RBI. Jasic Callan, Kegan Comps, Trent Brandau, Sam Schneider and Caleb Kruger all had a single apiece to round out Cheboygan's offense.
Cronk (three strikeouts, one hit, one walk) pitched five innings to earn the win for Cheboygan.
"It's a good win for us, but we have not won nothing yet," said Cheboygan manager Damon Proctor. "We need to be at our best for our next game against Indian River."
