If you have a PC or device that is used by many people, you might want to setup the same display and keyboard input languages, format and location settings for all user accounts. Setting this up manually for one user account is a lengthy process. Setting things up for all user accounts is simply painful. Fortunately for us, both Windows 7 and Windows 8 offer a simple way to configure all these settings on your main user account and have them copied to other user accounts or all the accounts that will be created in the future. Here's how this is done:
NOTE: This procedure must be performed from a user account with administrator permissions.
How to Access the Welcome Screen & New User Accounts Settings in Windows 7
In Windows 7, open the Control Panel and go to "Clock, Language and Region" and then to "Region and Language".
The "Region and Language" window is opened.
NOTE: you can also use the Start search box - type the word region and click the "Region and Language" search result.
In the "Region and Language" window, go to the Administrative tab and click the "Copy settings" button.
This opens the "Welcome screen and new user accounts settings" window. Here you can see the settings in use for the current user, the Welcome screen and all new user accounts.
How to Access the Welcome Screen & New User Accounts Settings in Windows 8
In Windows 8 or 8.1, open the Control Panel and go to "Clock, Language and Region" and then to Region.
The Region window is now opened.
Alternatively, you can use search. Go to the Start screen and type the word region. In Windows 8, filter by Settings and click or tap Region. In Windows 8.1 there is no need to filter the search results.
In the Region window, click or tap the Administrative tab and then the Copy settings button.
The "Welcome screen and new user accounts settings" window is opened.
How to Change the Language, Location & Format Settings Applied to User Accounts
In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts settings" window you first see three categories of settings:
- Current user - shares the settings used by the current user account for display and input languages, the format and the location.
- Welcome screen - shares the settings applied when the welcome screen is loaded, just before logging into Windows.
- New user accounts - shares the settings that are applied by default to all the user accounts that will be created in Windows.
Then you have to check boxes you can use and four options for how to set things up. Let's see what happens in each of them:
- "Welcome screen and system accounts" - when enabled, this option first copies all the settings from the current user to all other system accounts: the local system, the local service and the network service. These system accounts are used generally by Windows services and not by normal people, trying to log on to their computers. It also copies the settings from the current user to the Welcome screen so that they are applied during the logon procedure. Then, it copies the same settings to all new user accounts which get created after the option is enabled. However, it will not copy the settings from the current user to existing user accounts, used by other people, with one exception: if an existing user account has not specified a display language, the display language used by the current user will become the display language used also by that other user account. The other settings will remain unchanged though. A bit confusing, I know. But that's how it is.
- "New user accounts" - when enabled, this option copies the settings of the current user to all new user accounts which get created after this option is enabled. This includes all types of accounts: Guest, standard & administrator. Existing user accounts are not affected.
- Check both options - the end result is the same as when you enable the "Welcome screen and system accounts" option.
- Leave both options unchecked - the current settings remain unchanged.
I hope you found this guide useful. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask via the comments form below. Also, if you want to know more about display & input languages plus format, location and date settings, check out the articles recommended below.

|Marguerite Duras ; translated by Leigh Hafrey.
|More information:
Hailed in France as "an incomparable pleasure", Marguerite Duras's newest novel is a fascinating retelling of the dramatic experiences of her adolescence that have shaped her work. Far more daring and truthful than any book she has written before, it emphasizes the tough realities of her youth in Indochina and reveals much that her earlier works concealed. An instant number-one bestseller in France, The North China Lover both shocks and entrances its readers. Initially written as notes toward a filmscript for The Lover, the book has the grainy, filmic qualities of a documentary. Gone are the romantic and nostalgic readings of the past. Here are the humiliations and passions of the poverty-ridden world in which Duras grew up: the intense sexuality of the young women who were her friends and classmates, a group of adolescents impatient for the experiences of adulthood while still caught up in the conflicts of childhood. For all who have admired Duras's previous work, here is an exciting and unexpected reading of her past - a work the French critics called a return to "the Duras of the great books and the great days."

The Riddle by Alison Croggon(138 ratings)
|Alison Croggon
|The Riddle
|Submitted by Anonymous
(Mar 09, 2009)
The Riddle is one of my favorite books, along with the first in the series: The Gift(or The Naming if you live in the U.S). Alison Croggon writes beautifully, which is to be expected from a poet, and her story evolves over time. The world she creates has amazing depth and thought, and the characters this story evolves around have unique personalities. You may think this is just another fantasy story, but if you'll read it, you'll think differently. It may have some of the same elements, but you want believe how different it really is. These books are sorely underestimated, and if people gave them a chance, they would surpass every popular book today.

This book, by Allison Croggon, is the first in the Pellinor series. Actually, I'm fairly certain it goes by two names, The Gift and The Naming. The Naming is what I have and it's the same story, so I'm not sure what the deal with that is. On to the review.

The Riddle is the second book in the Pellinor Series. The story continues where "The Gift� (first book of the series) finished off.

RT @LetsPlay_Hockey: Starting today, donate your gear to the 8th annual Used Hockey Equipment Drive. @mnwild @MinnHockey https://t.co/ycv…
Mite hockey is about having fun, no more and no less. Ages 5-9 years old is hopefully when the youngsters develop basic skills and develop a love for the game. In recent weeks I have heard several stories of well-meaning Mite coaches and program administrators that have lost site of perhaps the most important aspect of the game:
Having fun while learning skills.
I will paraphrase a few of these comments, as these individuals tell the story better than I can.
"I had my boy sign up for Mite hockey at age 8. He had just started skating. I was told that because of his age and size he would catch on quickly, so we will put him in our top group. I requested that he be put into the lowest group so that he could learn to skate first. My request was ignored by the 'experts in our program.' My son's first year was very demeaning as he could not skate anywhere nearly as well as the other kids in his group."
This parent has an extensive background as a player at the college level and referee for many years yet his own experience was ignored when it came to his son.
This note arrived in my e-mail last week:
"My son has played hockey for three years. Last year he did not have much fun as all we did in our association most of the season was skate. There was very little puck handling and instead of playing cross-ice games we played half-ice with 10 players per side. There was still little opportunity for most kids to handle the puck. In many associations they are getting the message of 3-to-1 practice-to-game ratios, but at least in our association the practices were not fun. My son is now 9 and feels that he wants to quit. The pressure to perform is already affecting him and he has not enjoyed the practice sessions."
While these comments are only part of the story, there are a couple common issues.
Mite hockey should not be training camp and Mite hockey players need to be kids. Off-ice training programs, off-season leagues and specialty skills camps will not accomplish much in the long run. Yes, they may advance some kids somewhat compared to the other kids but eventually it all equalizes as the players mature.
The research in Dr. Smoll's book "Children and Youth in Sport" discusses competition for our youngest players in chapter six (At What Age Are Children Ready to Compete?) by Michael W. Passer.
"The issue of readiness is complicated by the differences that exist in the rate of children's psychological development and in the kinds of competitive sports environment to which they are exposed. Nevertheless, I recommend that children younger than 7 or 8 be discouraged from participating in organized youth sports. By this age most children have a general motivational readiness for competition and cognitive abilities sufficient for a basic understanding of the competition process. Even so, the competitive emphasis of sport should be phased in gradually as children get older and it is essential that coaches and parents of youth sport participants – especially 7-9-year-olds – be made aware of the ways in which children's cognitive capacities differ from those of adults. This educational goal should be the key component of coach and parent training programs."
Since there is little evidence that highly structured programs for Mite age children have any correlation to the eventual competency of mature athletes, it makes sense to have programs that focus primarily on having fun. That does not mean basic skills like stopping, starting and turning should not be taught, but only that they be taught in a fashion that is really fun for the kids. Sort of like they are learning while they are playing some sort of activity of game.
As we begin a new season let's all work hard to make sure our youngest skaters, the future of this great game, learn to love it as much as we do.

The family of an East Montpelier man says their glad that property the governor bought from a neighbor at a steep discount has been returned to Jerry Dodge.
Dodge's family said through their attorneys that they "could not be happier to be back in the family home and look forward to spending many years there."
A deal between Dodge and Gov. Peter Shumlin was signed on Monday.
Shumlin said last month that the episode has been a lesson for him to that as governor, he's governor every single day and held to a different standard than average citizens.

Excellent quality, well organized kit
By J R
from RTP, NC
The finish and quality on the screws is excellent... very smooth transition from thread to head, well-formed threads. The kit doesn't have regular nuts (just nylon lock nuts) so you may want to get the other kit HF sells that has regular stainless steel nuts. Those are great quality too.
Stainless Hardware Assortment
By Grunt0331
from Irwin, PA
A "good" choice for general purpose use, depending on the project environment. Not a very high grade of stainless, as in 18-8 or 304, but with enough nickel to exhibit "rust-resistance" to a higher degree than "plain", unplated, non-galvanized, non-coated or unpainted hardware. When looking at the reasonably low cost, I would say this add this item to the hardware stash in your workshop.
Decent hardware for a great price
By Rcplasamacnc
from Covington, LA
About Me Professional
Some of the washers were mis formed, and had corners clipped. Some of the heads on the screws aren't centered which makes driving them in a little awkward. All in all it beats the alternative. My local little hardware store charges 35c for a single #10 1-1/4" stainless screw and 50c for a single #12 1-1/4" long.
This hardware sucks
By Seevee
from FL
I've bought a bunch of hardware, stainless, steel, etc., and for the most part, it's pretty poor quality. I can match or beat the price ordering online from my aircraft suppliers. I get impatient and end up with this poor quality. I just threw some away because it was so out of spec!

SB3 Australian National Championship - Duel to the finish
by Peter Campbell on 20 Feb 2012
SB3 TAS Fleet - SB3 Australian National Championship 2012 Rob Cruse
SB3 Australian National Championship, hosted by Royal Yacht Club of Tasmani, final day of racing was held on the River Derwent today.
In 1977, as a teenager, Glenn Bourke won the junior Moth dinghy Australian championship on Hobart's River Derwent. Today he scored another championship victory on a windswept river in the SB3 high-performance keelboat class.
Steering Club Marine Hamilton Island, Bourke fought back in the ninth and final race to win the title by just one point from another Queensland entrant, Dulon Polish, helmed by Phillip Gray.
Tasmanian Nick Rogers, the champion sailor in the International Dragon class, sailed a superb final race, steering Toll Shipping to victory and also coming from behind in the pointscore to take third place overall.
There has been a lot of water under the keel (or centreboard) since Bourke won that junior Moth championship 35 years ago. He won three world titles in the International Laser class and represented Australia at the Olympics in the Finn class.
Moving into yacht management he headed the team that organised and ran the highly successful sailing regatta at the Sydney Olympic Games before heading overseas to run the Volvo Race. He is now CEO of Hamilton Island, the Queensland resort that hosts Australia's biggest keelboat regatta.
After two days of scheduled competition – Saturday: no wind, no racing; Sunday: light wind, three races – Hobart yesterday turn on fresh to strong winds on the Derwent.
'A magnificent sailing day' was how principal race officer Nick Hutton described it after successfully conducting six windward/leeward races yesterday for the 21 boat fleet.
On a day of spectacular and, at times, dramatic one-design sailing, three of the leading boats ended up with maximum points which in two cases were their discard races, in the third case certainly costing the boat any chance of a top final placing.
After winning three of the six races today, the Victorian boat Flirtatious (Chris Dare) was disqualified after being 'black flaggged' in race eight, Tasmanian Nick Rogers in Toll Shipping was forced to retire with damage in the same race, while Dulon Polish, skippered by Queenslander Phillip Gray, had to pull out of race five with a broken boom soon after the start.
As the rest of the fleet sailed on, Gray sailed back to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, fitted a spare boom and was back on the course for race six, which he won, to retain his overall lead.
Going into the final race, Gray held a one point lead from Bourke which meant that Bourke had finish two places ahead to win the title. 'He (Gray) was right with us on the final beat to windward, but another boat got ahead of him and held him back to fifth place downwind while we finished third in the race, ' Bourke said after the race.
After two days of light and fickle wind, sometimes none, over the weekend, a southerly blast swept up the Derwent this morning, well ahead of the scheduled start time for the final day of racing of 10am.
Principal race officer Nick Hutton was aiming for at least four more races to give a total of seven, which would mean one a discard. This would equate the DNF points for 15 of the 21 starters in race one as these boats could use race one as their discard.
Despite the light winds, three races were sailed on Sunday and today, race four got underway in a 10-12 knot south-westerly breeze, the best sailing conditions so far for these high-performance, one-design sports boats.
Chris Dare, a prominent Victorian Etchells and ocean racing skipper (he raced the Corby 49 Flirt, now Vamp) Sandringham Yacht Club, rocketed away with Flirtatious to win heat four by 18 seconds from Club Marine Hamilton Island, helmed by Glenn Bourke.
Series leader after day one of racing, Queenslander Phillip Gray, sailing Dulon Polish, finished 24 seconds astern, in third place.
With the sou'-wester freshening to 18 knots and kicking up a short, steep seaway against the ebbing tide, Dare and crew excelled in the conditions, sailing Flirtatious to a 26 second win in heat five from the consistent Glenn Bourke, helming Club Marine Hamilton Island.
Purple Trilogy, skippered by Callum Burns, also from Sandringham Yacht Club, finished third, 22 seconds astern of Club Marine Hamilton Island.
Dulon Polish broke its boom soon after the start with Gray and his crew immediately heading back to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania as the fleet continued to race. They replaced broken boom with a spare and returned to the race track in time for heat six.
Gray bounced back in heat six, with the southerly breeze a constant 20 knots strength. The Queenslander sailed Dulon Polish to its second win of the series, winning a hard-fought duel with Flirtatious, and Tasmanians Nick Rogers, steering Toll Shipping, and David Graney, at the helm of Wedgewood.
Only one minute separated the first six boats in a spectacular downwind finish under spinnakers, the light displacement keelboats surfing across the line in a thrilling gybing duel.
When race seven got under way the southerly breeze was averaging 20 knots, testing the sail handling expertise of the crews in the strong breeze and choppy waves.
Flirtatious scored its third win of the regatta, with a 19 second margin from Club Marine Hamilton Island, third place going to Dart Vader (Mark Prince), Dulan Polish finished fourth to retain its overall lead.
Pre-championship favourite Glenn Bourke finally sailed Club Marine Hamilton Island to victory in race eight. Bourke cleared away from the fleet to win by 1 minute and 10 seconds from Still Out of Control, with Dulon Polish stilling shining with a third.
Flirtatious ended its love affair with the Derwent after being black-flagged, a disastrous result following its first race DNF. Four boats did not finish race eight, including top placed Tasmanian Toll Shipping.
After eight races, with one discard, Dulon Polish still headed the leader board, on 20 points, just one point from Club Marine Hamilton Island on 21 points. Each had a drop of 22 points, Dulon Polish's for its OCS in race five, Club Hamilton Island for its DNF in race one.
Next, on 40 points, was Sysiwyg-V, the consistent Victorian boat, on 40 points, with two points to Flirtatious. Tasmania's Toll Shipping was fifth overall on 45 points.
Race officials had time and the breeze, to start a ninth race. It was to be a duel to the finish between Club Marine Hamilton Island and Dulon Polish to decide the SB3 Australian champion for 2012.
The two Queensland boats were close together for most of the race, Bourke striving to get at least one boat between Club Marine Hamilton Island and Dulon Polish, Gray battling to hold that one point lead.
Bourke sailed well to windward, but it was Tasmanian Nick Rogers who took the front running, excelling in the hard downwind running in the 20 knot breeze still holding on the river. On the last beat to windward, Victorian boat Still Out of Control, helmed by Mark Wolfenden from Sandringham Yacht Club, got ahead of Colon Polish and held that position on the spinnaker run to the finish.
As they crossed the finish line, Toll Shipping won from Purple Trilogy (Callum Burns) from Sandringham Yacht Club with Club Marine Hamilton Island just 10 seconds away in third place.
Still Out of Control placed fourth, just 22 seconds in front of Colon Polish, costing them the championship title.
After the racing, Bourke said that with six races sailed he and his crew were mentally and physically drained. 'This has been our toughest and closest SB3 regatta ever,' he said.
Talking about the SB3 worlds to be held at Hamilton Island in December, Bourke said the Hobart series had been 'a really good test of the boat in all weather.'
'We were able to get into top gear up the wind in all conditions, from light breezes for the first three races to six races sailed in heavy breezes,' Bourke added.
Top six placings:
1. Club Marine Hamilton Island (Glen Bourke, Hamilton Island Yacht Club) DNF-3-3-2--28-2-1-3, 24 points.
2. Dulon Polish (Phillip Gray, ISB3 Fleet) 4-4-1-3-DNF-1-4-3-5, 25 points
3. Toll Shipping (Nick Rogers, Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania) 1-13-6-10-4-3-8-DNF-1, 46 points
4. Wysiwyg-V (Stephen Fries, Sandringham Yacht Club, Vic) 3-2-4-11-6-13-9-5-7, 47 points
5. Still Out of Control (Mark Wolfenden, Sandringham YC) DNF-9-2-9-5-16-7-2-4, 54 points
6. Sun Tzu (Roger Hickman, Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron) 5-1-9-15-10-7-6-8-9, 55 points.

I assume you mean SA_NODEFER. If you don't specify SA_NODEFER _and_

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI made his first appointment to the Roman Curia by nominating Italian Cardinal Angelo Sodano to remain as secretary of state.
An April 21 Vatican statement said the pope also confirmed for the time being all heads of curial departments and the president of the office governing Vatican City State, U.S. Cardinal Edmund C. Szoka.
Pope John Paul II first named Cardinal Sodano to his post at the Secretariat of State in 1991. Curial appointments generally last for five years, with the possibility of renewal.
Regarding the other curial heads, the statement used the Latin term "donec aliter provideatur" -- meaning "until otherwise provided" -- signifying that the new pope might make changes once he has settled in.
Pope Benedict also confirmed Argentine Archbishop Leonardo Sandri as assistant secretary of state and Italian Archbishop Giovanni Lajolo as foreign minister, though he did not specify whether he was renaming them for the usual five-year tenure or only until he had time to make a more informed decision.
Departmental secretaries will finish out their five-year terms already under way, the statement said.
When elected in 1978, Pope John Paul I made few curial changes, reappointing all officials. His successor, Pope John Paul II, carefully reviewed each of his choices. In his first two weeks as pope, he only renamed Cardinal Jean Villot as secretary of state.

MARTINSBURG - Thai Hut on the north end of town has been revamped to offer both Thai and Chinese dishes, much to the delight of those who crave exotic Asian cuisine.
The restaurant recently added a Chinese menu to it's already abundant menu of food and drink, and customers seeking an escape from the mundane of pizza or fast food will want to dine here.
Just stepping inside the restaurant is a feast for the eyes with its lush green and gold wallpaper and seating, a bubbling fish tank and the sound of foreign language music videos quietly emanating from a sleek, flat screen TV suspended on one wall.

Thai Hut Chinese and Thai Restaurant serves up this Pad Thai — stir-fried rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, onion, crushed peanuts and shrimp.
Journal photos by Ron Agnir
The seasonal fish — crispy whole fish served here with peppers and a variety of vegetables.
John Lu, the owner of Thai Hut, and his sister, manager Sherry Abernathy, sit at a table with some of the restaurants dishes — clockwise from top, Pad Thai, Seasonal Crispy Fish, Green Gang Curry, Masaman, Tom Kha and Whole Peking Duck.
The service is incredibly inviting and, much to the benefit of those with more "picky" palettes, the servers are more than happy to explain what to expect in a bite from a recipe many have never even heard of.
Thai Hut's cool iced tea is freshly brewed with just a hint of mint leaves, refreshing and not overly sugared, setting the tone for the rest of the meal.
A popular appetizer at many Asian-American restaurants, the crab rangoon was served hot and tasty. Resembling small flower-like shapes, the deep fried dumpling puffs are wrapped around a filling of seasoned cream cheese and bits of crab. They are best served with a tiny platter of duck sauce - common in Chinese-American dining- an orange, translucent sweet and sour condiment that, despite it's name, has no duck in it whatsoever.

On the Thai portion of the menu is a red gang dish, made of red curry paste, coconut milk, hearty chunks of chicken, bamboo shoots, vegetables and sweet basil. Resembling a red brothy stew, red gang (like every other dish offered at the hut) comes with a side of warm, sticky white rice.
Customers have the option of replacing chicken with another protein such as tofu, pork, beef or a shrimp and seafood combination.
Pad Thai, a well-known and highly favored traditional Thai dish, is delicious with its combination of stir fried rice noodles topped with egg, bean sprouts, green onion and crushed peanuts - a staple of many Thai recipes.
For those who have never tried Pad Thai, they can expect their plate to be covered in clear rice noodles varying in size, coated with just enough vibrant red-orange sauce with a flavor both sweet and salty, both sour and savory.
Sauteed shrimp are tossed with the noodles and make for a filling, yet light, dish garnished with a traditional lime wedge for a complimentary tang of citrus.
Ordered off the restaurant's new Chinese menu, the "classic" Chinese vegetable fried rice comes steaming on a platter, heaped with chopped carrot, onion, broccoli, snow peas and other seasonal veggies stir fried to a crunchy bite.
A few drops of soy sauce complete the filling dish.Diners will usually find themselves leaving with a takeout box in hand, given the generous portion sizes.
Choosing between different ice cream flavors shouldn't be difficult, but at Thai Hut you're bound to want to try them all - from the mango and plum sherbet to the sweet red bean and green tea ice cream.
Another sweet treat is the fried banana dessert. Served on a small decorated platter and carefully arranged around a frosty scoop of french vanilla ice cream, the fruit is lightly fried with a warm and crispy funnel cake-like breading and drizzled with a touch of honey. The bananas themselves have a new texture that is creamy - almost whipped - from the frying process but melt in your mouth delicious. Sesame seeds and finely chopped peanuts compliment the banana texture and the rich dessert in its entirety blends to a smooth and crunchy, sweet perfection.
With impeccably quick service, all orders were placed in front of customers hot from the kitchen and freshly prepared.

The Warriors have focused lately on coming out hard and fast but that went out the window at Mt Smart yesterday when they allowed the Roosters the head start of three early tries as a pathway to victory.
Why, oh why, can they not play all 80 minutes? Had they played all game as they did in the second quarter, they may well have won.
But at least they didn't play the whole game as they did in the first quarter, in which case they would have been done by a cricket score.
The return of captain Steve Price a week earlier than expected after 10 weeks out with a hamstring tear gave them a lift, but five-eighth Michael Witt withdrew again with a groin tear and Ruben Wiki was sidelined with rib-cartilage damage.
Neither is likely to be available to travel to Newcastle next week, and wing Manu Vatuvei is three weeks away. Roosters fullback Amos Roberts and captain Craig Fitzgibbon were also ruled out yesterday with knee and head injuries respectively.
The visitors scored five tries from kicks, four tries on the last tackle. Auckland-born wing Shaun Kenny-Dowall had a double inside five minutes, the first from a kick by Braith Anasta and the second from a Willie Mason off-load. Then Anasta pulled down Mitchell Pearce's kick and scored next to the posts and with nine minutes gone it was 14-0.
"We did a lot of tackling early, they executed perfectly," Price said. "Their kicks were spot-on and they isolated our guys well. We probably should have put more pressure on their kickers."
Thanks to Price's presence the Warriors didn't try to play catch-up right away, instead mounting pressure to force a tackle turnover then engineering a try for left wing Aidan Kirk.
But they couldn't stop the roll-on the Roosters got from their big men and territorial advantage led to another two tries as Anasta, and then Setaimata Sa, hauled down kicks from Pearce and it was 20-4 at quarter time.
Then the Warriors started playing. The defence stiffened with gang-tackles to shut down Mason. The attack lifted and Kirk, who had his best game of the three he's played, made a break that allowed another improver in replacement hooker Ian Henderson to score from dummy-half.
Price said the change was down to possession. "We got a bit of ball. It's hard to stop a side like they are when they have so much possession."
The first 40 ended with some push-and-shove between Brent Tate and Anasta and a penalty to the Warriors that made the score a not insurmountable 20-12.
The home side needed to score first after the break but pressure from repeat sets of six was relieved when Jerome Ropati threw a long pass over the sideline, then Grant Rovelli kicked straight to Kenny-Dowall.
And when Logan Swann produced a silly strip on the Warriors' 10 metre line, Anasta ran in a simple try and converted it. The game was gone. Kenny-Dowall got his hat-trick on an intercept off Ropati, the Warriors' centre rusty after injury.
The opposing coaches were in agreement on one thing, Brad Fittler declaring yesterday's win their best this season and Ivan Cleary saying the Roosters were the best side they'd played this year.
It was the Roosters' first game outside Sydney and Fittler said they had made a big effort to overcome the travel factor. "The players who succeed with travel are the tough players. I thought we were very tough tonight."
Positives? Price played more than 50 minutes though short of his ground-making best; Henderson's improving dummy-half running and service; Tate's continued improvement; Lance Hohaia's consistency and kicking.
Plus the second-quarter comeback. And they did enough in the second 40 to keep the bulk of the 11,922 crowd involved until the last minutes.
Roosters benchman James Aubusson is on report for a late, high shot on Grant Rovelli, as is Brent Tate for leading into a tackle with his forearm.
Roosters 38: Shaun Kenny-Dowall 3, Braith Anasta 2, Setaimata Sa, Sam Perrett tries; Braith Anasta 4 goals.
Warriors 12: Aidan Kirk, Ian Henderson tries; Lance Hohaia 2 goals.

PARKERSBURG - Brooke sophomore Angela Staffileno posted game-highs of 35 points, 10 boards and eight blocks here Thursday afternoon inside the Rod Oldham Athletic Center, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Bruins were blitzed 100-44 by host Parkersburg South.
The victory for head coach Scott Stephens' Patriots, now winners of three straight to even their mark at 3-3 with a 12:30 p.m. affair slated for Saturday versus Warren in the Ohio River Classic at Marietta College, was never in doubt.
Parkersburg South, paced by Taryn McCutcheon's 20 points and Katelyn Byrd's 15, led 28-7 after one and 48-18 at intermission. Byrd, who grabbed eight caroms, hit all nine of her foul shots and that included sinking four in the final 26 seconds to get PSHS to the century mark for the first time since a 109-36 domination of Tug Valley back on Jan. 4, 2002.

Parkersburg South's Sutherliln Greenburg grabs a rebound away from Brooke's Emily Stuck, left, and Marena Cline Thursday. The Patriots won, 100-44.
McCutcheon knocked down all but one of her 10 free throws and chipped in five boards as well as a game-high seven assists.
"It's a lot better than it was when we were 0-3," quipped Stephens when asked if he liked how things were progressing with his squad. "The girls are starting to play a little better together and with more intensity. It's a work in progress."
Brooke's backcourt had no answer for Parkersburg South's pressure as the Patriots forced 16 turnovers in the first quarter and 40 on the afternoon.
Keya Bartlett scored the first of her dozen counters via a steal and layup just 13 seconds into the contest as the Patriots never trailed. PSHS scored 18 of the game's first 19 points as Bartlett had eight, McCutcheon six and Kasey Williams four of her 12 on a pair of steals and lay-ins.
Down 23-3 with 3:03 still left in the first after another Williams steal and layup, which was the Bruins' 13th turnover, the visitors finally recorded their first field goal. Patriot Lacey Cale had her shot blocked by Staffileno and the 6-foot-1 pivot hit teammate Marena Cline on a long pass for an easy lay-in.
Aside from Cline notching four points, the only other Bruins to score were Isabella Preston with three points and Payge Framer with two.
Parkersburg South took its first 30-point cushion at 40-10 when Byrd converted a three-point play thanks to a Carlie Wilson assist after she was hacked on a baseline floater. Miranda Workman's deuce with 30 seconds left in the second stanza gave PSHS its 48-18 advantage at the break.
Things started the same for Brooke (1-7) in the second half as it did the first when the Patriots scored the first two points thanks to a Kayleigh Rexroad steal and layup.
Although Staffileno canned a 3 which made it 73-30 with 2:17 left in the third, Patriot Anna Hayton scored the final seven points of the quarter to give PSHS a 50-point bulge entering the final eight minutes.
Hayton finished with 11 points while Workman, who had seven markers, joined Byrd in grabbing eight rebounds. Williams finished with a game-high six steals and had five boards.

The Woman Warrior
by Maxine Hong Kingston
The Woman Warrior Chapter 1 Summary
No Name Woman
- We readers are introduced to the narrator, who we might assume is the author Maxine Hong Kingston since the subtitle of the book calls itself a memoir.
- The book opens with the narrator's mother telling a secret. She reveals the scandalous life and death of the sister of the narrator's father (Kingston's aunt). You still following? As you might have noticed, talking about this book gets kind of tricky since Kingston refers to relatives by relation, not names.
- Up to this moment, the narrator knew nothing of this aunt's existence because the family treated her "as if she had never been born" (1.1).
- Kingston's mother says that the men of the family, including the narrator's dad, had sailed to California not long before the incident. At home with her husband's family, Kingston's mom noticed that her sister-in-law was getting a belly – a pregnant belly. The sister-in-law's husband had been gone two years, so Kingston's mom knew that she must have done the deed with someone other than her husband. You got it, give this woman an A for adultery. But actually, the social pressure takes on a more hideous form.
- The narrator's mother tells: On the night the baby was due, loads of villagers came out with lanterns and white masks to raid the family home.
- The neighbors throw rocks and food at the home. They kill all of the family's livestock. Their blood-stained hands break down the unlocked doors. They smear blood all over the house. They ransack each room, ripping apart everything of the sister-in-law's. They destroy all of their food and pantry. While leaving, the villagers steal the unbroken remains and take sugar and orange "to bless themselves" (1.8).
- Before you think you've missed a crucial step in the book already, don't worry, Shmoop reader. What the villagers are doing is ridiculous. Really dark. Why are they doing this, you ask? Read on to find out.
- Kingston's mother tells: her sister-in-law (remember: this unnamed woman is Kingston's aunt) gives birth that night in the pigsty.
- Kingston's mother divulges that she found her sister-in-law and the newborn baby drowned in the well the next morning (1.8).
- We learn that Kingston is only being told this information because she started menstruating (1.9). Her mother is warning her not to humiliate the family like her aunt did. In other words, don't get pregnant, or else you will shame our entire family and die a social (if not actual) death. As Kingston's mom warns: "The villagers are watchful" (1.9). And you thought the ole birds-and-the-bees talk was bad?
- We learn that the narrator's mom often tells her these sorts of morbid guilt-ridden stories. They function as stories "to grow up on," so the narrator can figure out what lives have come before her and the paths they have left (1.10).
- The narrator theorizes that Chinese emigrants in America try to mislead the gods by changing their names. This protects their "real names with silence" (1.11).
- Kingston busts out her famous pair of questions in paragraph 12 of Chapter 1, so be sure to take note of this. She basically asks, with all this story telling and name changing, how do Chinese Americans know what is actually Chinese tradition versus what is fiction turned into real life? This idea of fiction versus reality is a key theme to watch out for as you read.
- The narrator knows that she cannot ask about her nameless aunt. When her mom told her about her aunt's death, she gave her all the information about her life that she felt was worth telling. We learn that the mom is a practical storyteller; she is "powered by Necessity" (1.13).
- The narrator tells us that her mom's sense of economy is characteristic of traditional Chinese principles. Being born a woman was seen as a waste. The narrator figures that her aunt did not have an affair by choice. Some male villager must have forced her to have sex. The narrator believes she wouldn't have said no. She would've done as any male villager wished. The narrator believes he participated in the raid (1.15).
- The narrator continues to make up a story for her aunt's life: She figures her aunt had an arranged marriage and had spent one night with her husband before he left for America (1.17). Then someone who sold her oil or fabric for clothes threatened to kill her if she didn't have sex with him. Since she had to deal with him for everyday business, rape continued even though she was afraid. Then she got pregnant, and the man organized the raid (1.18).
- The narrator figures that her aunt sat at the "outcast table" at home. By not allowing her to eat with the respectable members, the family shamed here. (1.19). Traditionally, Chinese women move in with their husbands' families. The fact that the aunt lived with her birth family is a mystery that the narrator doesn't know more about (1.19).
- The aunt was the only girl in a family of four sons. She was the one expected to continue the family and cultural traditions, since her brothers had all gone to America.
- The author figures that her aunt had so many secrets that it made her hopes for life very small (1.21). Kingston imagines that her aunt took to liking little things about the father of her baby.
- Kingston looks at a family portrait and notices how her aunt combed her hair differently. This is remarkable since paying too much attention to your looks was looked down upon. Women were expected to wear their hair in regular bobs or tight buns. The author imagines her aunt threading (a form of plucking with strings) the baby hairs on her forehead, like her mom used to do to her.
- Kingston imagines that her grandparents favored their only daughter. She writes that her grandpa wanted a daughter and traded Kingston's dad for a girl before his wife made him trade back. Kingston figures that her dad always held a grudge for being traded for a girl.
- We're told that people in the same village are considered kinsmen, so whether or not the aunt's lover was in the family wouldn't make adultery any better or worse (1.33).
- Marriage was a way of connecting strangers, Kingston writes. The villagers who raided her aunt's house were punishing her for messing up the order of relationships.
- Living conditions were bad at this time. The village was contending with a bad planting season, disease, and the many repercussions of a war with Japan. If things were not so bad, Kingston figures, maybe the adultery would not have been punished so severely.
- Kingston writes that the neatness in how lives are organized is seen as a roundness (1.39). The villagers punished her aunt for breaking this roundness by destroying her family's home. When the villagers left, the aunt's family turned against her, calling her a ghost and saying she'd never been born (1.40).
- Kingston imagines her aunt running out into the fields in the black night. She imagines her aunt looking desperately up at the sky, in more pain from the shaming than from the baby that was about to be born. The aunt experiences a pattern of out-of-body experiences, feeling like a star in the sky, like space. When she feels the baby coming, she runs to the pigsty (some women used to give birth in pigsties to confuse jealous gods who did not steal piglets).
- Kingston figures that her aunt might have wanted to protect the baby, so that someone would look after her spirit when she was gone. But then, Kingston thinks, the aunt remembered that the family wouldn't recognize that she ever existed, so the child wouldn't even know to take care of her spirit.
- Kingston believes that her aunt's decision to die with her child was an honorable act that showed how much she loved her baby. She knew the child would also live a disgraced life and did not want her baby to suffer (1.46). Kingston figures her baby was a girl since boys were more likely to be forgiven.
- Kingston pulls out from her aunt's story and speaks again of the time when her mom was having this conversation with her. Her mom reminds her not to tell anyone that she knows any of this. Kingston remarks on how silly she was to have believed her mom's words. It would shame her dad to have his dead sister brought up.
- Kingston laments having taken part in this punishment of her aunt in the twenty years since she learned of her existence. She does not even know her name.
- Kingston writes that her aunt's worst punishment was not the villager's raid but her family's deliberate forgetting of her.
- Kingston imagines her aunt now existing as a ghost who has no ancestors pay respect to her, no prayers spoken for her, or fruit left out to feed her spirit.
- Kingston feels her aunt haunting her, since she is the only one who has dedicated anything to her aunt. She has written these pages for her.

The responsibility of tolerance lies in those who have the wider vision.

"We have reached 37,000 feet," said our captain. "I have turned off the seat belt sign, but when you are seated, I suggest you leave it fastened." Her voice was calm and reassuring. It had no military sternness, and no paternal overtones. It had no maternal overtones. It was clear and warm, steady and sensitive. She wore her responsibility with ease. She did not say whether she was a mother. She could have been. I was more concerned that she was a good pilot. She proved that she was with her beautiful takeoff and landing. She proved it continually through the San Francisco fog, the midwest thunderstorms, and the night approach to the busy New York airport. I never doubted her abilities, and I don't think she did, either. The new female is competent in all that she chooses. She chooses whatever her heart tells her. She can create a business, lead a country, drive a truck, hammer nails, deliver mail, or raise a family. She is at home in every social and physical environment. She can be a housewife, if she chooses. She can be anything else, too. She is intuitive and heart centered. She is all that a female has been, and more.

Sorry, the question makes no sense.
NetBIOS is a programming API to enable various session and presentation
layer services. It is not, in and of itself, a network protocol.
Samba implements a CIFS server. CIFS (aka SMB) already uses NetBIOS over
The name "NetBIOS" is sometimes used, in IBM circles, to describe the
network protocol otherwise known as NetBEUI. NetBEUI is a simple protocol
and rather unfeatured - no routing, no hierarchical name space, very little
load-balancing or failover etc .... you don't want to use NetBEUI!!

First Cut! Youth Festival 2012 brings the magic of the movies to Cobh
Cannes is no longer the only premier film festival by the sea!
The organisers of the First Cut Youth Festival 2012 are delighted to announce that the picturesque town of Cobh, Co. Cork is to hold this year's festival on the first weekend in October.
This pop-up youth film festival will be held on the 6th, 7th of October, with a special Schools Day on the 8th. In its 4th year it sets out to encourage and nurture young people's interest in the art of filmmaking and film on both a local and national level. This year is bigger and better than ever with many guest contributors, including bestselling author Roddy Doyle's Fighting Words and international renowned animators Jan Caspers and Gary Rosborough.
For the first time in almost thirty years Cobh will have its own cinema. First Cut! is delighted to bring Cinemobile, Irelands 100 seater state of the art mobile cinema, to Cobh. Screenings of short films and animated works will give the audience an insight into the talent that exists in our young filmmakers. First Cut's mission is to provide support and encouragement to young filmmakers while giving them a platform to show their work. But the Festival is for everyone and over the weekend there will be three feature length films screened in Cinemobile, a magnificent, state-of-the-art 100-seater mobile cinema. To open the Festival we have a real treat! Moonrise Kingdom, (2012), is a warm, whimsical, and poignant film, immaculately framed and beautifully acted presenting writer/director Wes Anderson at his idiosyncratic best. It stars Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton. On Saturday we have two movies. Hugo, (2011), is directed by Martin Scorsese. An astonishing adventure, it's a family film that should enchant everyone, in 3-D a must-see for anyone who loves cinema.
Our closing film is The Eclipse, specially chosen for this year's pop-up festival setting! This Irish film will be shown on Sunday evening; it is set in Cobh and takes place during an annual Writers Festival. This is a beautiful, heartbreaking and haunting film. The eerie, peaceful Cobh provides an excellent backdrop to this Gothic tale and Cobh looks truly fantastic on the screen. The Eclipse is a rarity – a horror movie that works beautifully as straight drama and yet occasionally scares the hell out of the audience. It is a small gem and Irish actor Ciarán Hinds won Best Actor Award for 'The Eclipse' At the Tribeca Film Festival premiere.
The festival, now in its fourth year, always seeks to innovate and this year is no exception. Earlier this year First Cut! in conjunction with Cork County Council tourism department held the first Spike Music Video Competition. The competition was open to young musicians and bands in County Cork in its inaugural year and the response was really brilliant. The prize was a dream for any young musician, to have a professional music video filmed under the watchful eye of Cormac O'Connor of The Maple Rooms Production Company. The completed videos will be screened over the course of the festival and will give friends and family an opportunity to see finished work. The standard of entrants was at a very high level and the decision process was not easy, but seven winners were chosen and each of these had the opportunity to have their music videos filmed on the iconic Spike Island, a venue rich in atmosphere and history.
Along with showcasing the extraordinary talent and quality work of our young people, the festival will also screen some gems from the world of film, documentary and animation. The festival is open to everybody and will give people the opportunity to experience cinema in a magical scenic location.
The festival will also host a series of workshops designed to foster the creative spirit of young people. On Monday, for the first time outside of Dublin, Roddy Doyle and Sean Love bring their creative workshop "Fighting Words" to Cobh. Fighting Words helps students of all ages to explore and develop their writing skills. This is golden opportunity to hear from some of our greatest storytellers about their craft.
Screenings; youth short films selected from the Open Call; feature films suitable for everyone; a whole variety of workshops, (all free!) and Q&A and more…info on www.firstcutfilmfestival.com or http://www.facebook.com/pages/First-CutYouth-Film-Project-Festival/127337763985353

The Glazer & Lorton Writing Institute is a joint professional development effort of the University of Miami and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS). Named after Zelda Glazer and Eveleen Lorton, two of the original co-founders, the Writing Institute has served M-DCPS teachers and their students since 1984. Part of the magic of the Writing Institute lies in its philosophy that in order to be an effective teacher of writing, teachers do just that; they write. They learn about writing from some of the country's leading experts and then they write and share what they have created with their classmates. Each day brings new presenters and new purposes for writing. Each day there are more reasons for writing, for sharing, and for writing again.
By the end of the two weeks, the participants choose their best piece to revise, edit, and then submit for publication in Sun Strokes, the Institute's official anthology. Writing Institute participants claim that the greatest reward of the Institute is a renewed vigor for teaching. Comments from prior attendees:

"NEVER KNOWING is a chilling thriller with enough twists and turns so every time I thought I knew where it was going I was taken somewhere else. I have a feeling that Chevy Stevens is an author who is going to keep getting better and better with each book! I hope I'm still around for the next six -- at which point she'll probably give me a heart attack. But what a great way to go out!"--Lois Duncan, author of I Know What You Did Last Summer.
"A terrifying, chilling scenario that unfolds into a nightmare and had me keeping the light on at night."--Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of Sister
" Stevens takes us on a wild ride in this action-packed book." --The Globe and Mail
"Stevens's unnerving stand-alone thriller about a woman's search for her birth parents matches the intensity of her impressive debut.... the skillful storytelling never flags." --Publishers Weekly
"As finely calculated in its escalating suspense as Stevens' grueling debut." --Kirkus Reviews
"Stevens' second novel is a knockout, starting strong and finishing even stronger." --RT Book Reviews
"If you love racing through a psychological thriller, or if you're interested in writing within this genre, read both of these novels back to back and witness the development of a talented new storyteller." --National Post
"The action is non-stop and the story flows without a bump." --Seattle Post Intelligencer
"This is an excellent beach read because you'll find you can't put the book down for more than a moment once you pick it up, so have an open day planned." --The Surrey Now
"Never Knowing is a thrilling read.... Stevens is establishing herself as a writer who can be counted on to deliver an exciting story, told through compelling characters." --BC Local News

- Conference date: 19–21 November 2012
- Location: Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, Malaysia
Several attempts have been made to obtain forest stand parameters such as stand volume, stand density, basal area, biomass, and carbon stock from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. However the relationship between these parameters and radar backscatter has been a challenging issue since the last few years. In this study, L-band ALOS PALSAR satellite image with a spatial resolution of 12.5 m was utilized to identify the most ideal relationship between radar backscatter and aboveground carbon stock (ACS) atdifferent strata of tropical forest stands. The Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) campus which has about 420 ha of forest area was selected as the study area. Field survey was conducted in which ten (10) test plots (50 × 50 m, 0.25 ha) were established and all trees with the diameter at breast height (dbh) of 5 cm and above were inventoried. The calculated plot-based ACS was divided into six diameter classes - which is defined as strata - ofthe trees within the plot, which are i) 5 cm and above, ii) 10 cm and above, iii) 15 cm and above, iv) 20 cm and above, v) 25 cm and above, and vi) 30 cm and above. The total ACS of each class was correlated to the pixels of SAR backscatter corresponding to the plot location on the ground. Results showed that the forest was sensitive to the backscatter on horizontal-vertical polarized (HV) image as compared with horizontal-horizontal polarized (HH) image and a combination of both HH and HV polarizations. However, only ACS that was calculated based on diameter class of 15 cm and above gave the strongest correlation to the SAR signal. The signals also tend to saturate when carbon stock starts to increase from 180 t ha−1 at around −8 dB. The experiment from the study suggested that only mature trees (i.e. of diameter more than 15 cm) with sufficient canopy height can be included in inventory to obtain accurate carbon stock estimation when using satellite based L-band SAR data.

Holly @ 504 Main
Hey there! I am Holly, and 504 Main is my home away from home where I entertain, cook, create, DIY and try to entertain you! I am a not-so-domestic diva, turned full-on domestic diva…and I LOVE it {most days}. I want 504 Main to be a comfortable place, the kind of place that you feel like you can stop by anytime, kick off your heels {or boots} and have a mocha…or a glass of wine.
I have a vintagey, beat up, discarded, slightly French, yet totally American aesthetic {confused? Me too sometimes!}. I like what I like!
I LOVE re-purposed crafting and creating. I prefer to use unusual materials to create beautiful projects, like my screen wreath. The crazier, the more unexpected, the older, the odder, the more beat up something is, the more likely I am to be inspired by it.
Glitter, tile, wood, saws, screwdrivers, paint — you name it – I'll try to DIY almost anything {at least once}!
My Dad revels in the fact that he gets to buy me tools! I used to only DIY things that I could hire someone to cheaply fix – if I messed up – but not anymore! I am still learning as I go, but it seems to be working OK! Guess what?…I even once auditioned to be a carpenter on a "big-time big-network" TV show.
In a life a long, long time ago, I was a fashion designer. Then, all my girlfriends started getting married. After seven walks down the aisle as a bridesmaid, the wedding bug had bitten. I began to put the pieces of my new career into place. So now I am a former-ish wedding planner – for the moment, I write about weddings more than plan them. I speak at wedding planning events, and have also appeared as a wedding expert on national television, including Lifetime's The "I Do" Diaries: My Best Friends Wedding and NBC's The Other Half. Of course I have a wedding blog too!…Hip Weddings!
Then, one day someone asked if I could write a book…
I said "Sure," and since then I have become an accidental author of several wedding related books…and one fashion book:
*The Everything Wedding Etiquette Book (Adams Media 2009)*
*The Perfect Wedding Guide (Parragon)*
*The Wedding Planner (Parragon)*
*How to ÒI doÓ: Planning the Ultimate Weddings in Six Weekends of Less (HarperCollins)*
*100 Best Careers in Fashion and Modeling (MacMillan)*
And, coming December, 2010…
*The Everything Wedding Checklist Book (Adams Media)*
*The Everything Bridesmaids Book (Adams Media)*
My biggest DIY project is as mom to two of the cutest, most precocious little turkeys around, and a wife to hubby {who is only mentioned by hubby and does not ever want to see a photo of himself here or anywhere on a blog!}
In my spare time, I continue to work on more books, I cook, craft, and act as all around handy woman, mom and wife at my house.
If you have any questions, email me: email@example.com

Yanks/Rangers recap
The New York Yankees defeated the Texas Rangers 9-2 tonight. They won the series two games to one. A.J. Burnett got the start going 6 shutout innings with 3 hits, 4 walks and 7 strikeouts. Jose Veras gave up a couple of runs, Dave Robertson got the two guys he saw out and Chien-Ming Wang threw two perfect innings. Chien-Ming Wang looked very good tonight which was a great sign. Mark Teixeira had a 2 run homerun to get them started in the first inning. Hideki Matsui hit two homeruns, Derek Jeter had 3 hits and 2 walks, A-rod had a hit, Brett Gardner had a couple of hits as well as Kevin Cash. Robinson Cano hit a homerun, everyone got into the act offensively and the Yankees moved into a first place tie with Boston. The Yankees also have the best record on the road in the AL and will enjoy their day off tomorrow before playing in Cleveland for four games in a weekend wraparound series. The Yankees also got good news before the game with the news that Jorge Posada will rejoin the team on Friday and Brian Bruney has no structural damage according to Dr. James Andrews. I am sure Bruney will be out for at least a couple of weeks maybe up to 3 weeks which is ok if he comes back and stays healthy the rest of the year. Melky Cabrera is also ok and may miss up to a week.

VIOLA, Wis. — S&S Cycle's 25W60 petroleum-based engine oil is formulated for v-twins and vintage bikes, and is ideal for riding in hot weather, the company says, as well as any other time when oil temperatures can rise to or above 250°F.
The multi-viscosity oil helps bikes start better in colder conditions, and reportedly lubricates engine components quicker than straight-weight oils. The oil is available in cases of 12 one-quart bottles. www.sscycle.com.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, April 29, 2011
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.---With the five other Endeavour astronauts, Commander Mark Kelly walked out to board the van to the launch pad. The eyes of the nation, perhaps the world, were on him.
His wife is Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who survived an assassination attempt in Arizona in January. She left her rehab clinic in Houston to be here in Florida to watch her husband, who sat by her bedside for hours, days, and weeks.
But today his trip to the launch pad was pretty short. Mission managers announced that the launch would be scrubbed, or canceled, for the day.
A technical problem in two of the shuttle's heating units was the issue.
NASA engineers say that it's a problem they'll need multiple days to fix. Space Shuttle Endeavour will launch no sooner than Monday afternoon.
When it does launch, it will mark the 25th and last flight for Endeavour. The 14-day mission will send the shuttle to the International Space Station, where astronauts will deliver a part called an Astro-Magnetic Spectrometer. It's designed to discover unusual particles and matter throughout our solar system.
When the shuttle returns, it will be prepped for its retirement. There will be one final shuttle flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis, which is scheduled for June now, but then the program will be over.
Despite the cancellation of today's launch, President Barack Obama and his family still decided to stop by. They boarded the Marine One helicopter and flew by the launch pad and later visited Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Launch Director Mike Leinbach says the earliest Endeavour can launch will be Monday at 2:33 PM. Work will begin on Endeavour tonight.
