In Their Own Words
"I want students to have an understanding of how they can attain whatever they want, to leave feeling prepared to be their own teacher. I want them to have enough foundational knowledge with technique and harmony and all the different things that we talk about that even if they're faced with something completely different from what we were doing, they'll have enough understanding that they can be intelligent about the way they do it."
"Our students run the gamut from a 17-year-old right out of high school who's played in rock bands to someone who already has a master's degree in music and is a tremendous player in one style and comes here to learn another. It's the most extreme place I think that you can teach because of the variety of styles and the variety of students. I had a student who was 65 from Japan who just retired and decided that he wanted to come back to school and learn music."
"At least initially, you get a lot of people who are from another country and kids who are very young and away from home for the first time, and their private lesson teachers are about the only one-on-one people that they have to talk to. We're the ones they know they can email or go see and get some advice."
"At Berklee you get the range of studying classical music, jazz, pop, turntable, hip-hop, just every type of music available to you. If you don't know that it's there, how do you know if it's something you want to do or not? When you come here, everywhere you turn you're going to have something else that you haven't heard that may be really eye-opening to you. Because of all the different influences and all the different styles and all the students from all over the world, you're definitely exposed to many many things."

These are some major problems with Champ Select that weve identified in our research. So whats next? A lot of players have suggested the following:
If posted these idea's here a while now and i really want these along with pings being displayed in lobbies. Enough games have been ruined by ppl who lag so hard they cant even cs yet still que up to play.

If nothing else, I believe vote kick needs to be implemented. People always claim that it can be abused, but let's face it EVERYTHING has the potential to be abused, and the current system does not make provisions for people who actually try to be team players.
There's a fine line between stupidity and insanity. Will you cross it?

Nice post Dartkun.
I have no problem with a Captains Mode. I mean, if those elitist jerks over at Dota 2 can handle it obviously the superior LoL community can too. Right?

It is pick order tho.
think about it, the first pick chooses something (lets say mid lane), the other person now has a choice. he can pick a mid lane champion as well with the intention of still going mid, thereby essentiallly messing up his teams chances of winning, which tends to be what happens when people try to do strange/uncommon things. Or they can choose a different role after noticing that that mid lane has been taken.

Somehow, I doubt most goalkeepers on soccer teams are as good at offense as goalkeeping. Some people are just better playing some roles than others. Most roles play so differently it's like a different game.
Ranked is also not the only place where people troll and stack triple top with no mid or something absurd like that. It's not fun, I assure you.

that captain thing is crap... you should never play a particular role just because someone says so...
Which is why Captain's pick should be a separate mode, like in dota. Then if you don't like it you don't play it, personally I would love a Ranked Captain's Pick. The whole profile with you're preferred champs sounds really cool.

Some people refer to historical-preservation boards as "hysterical" boards, said architect Ted Strosser, who was hired by Hollidaysburg Borough to create a new historic district homeowners' manual.
"They think, 'They're going to pick the color for my house,'" he said. "But they're not the color police."
Strosser said there are strong misconceptions about historic districts and the homes that occupy them, with one of the major issues with home renovations dealing with people who want to replace their wooden windows.
Many people get sold on the idea of vinyl by a salesman who convinces them a home will be better insulated and windows will last longer if the original, time-period appropriate wood is replaced, Strosser said.
But according to Strosser and the U.S. Department of the Interior's Technical Preservation Services, wooden windows - when repaired and maintained correctly - will have a greater life than vinyl and be more energy efficient.
A 2011 study by the Center for Resource Conservation tested the energy efficiency and economy on 11 different preservation treatment options and compared them with a new vinyl window. Most of the proposed treatments were able to outperform vinyl.
And wooden windows have the additional benefit of contributing to a historic building's character as well.
But more important than approving or denying building permits, a historic-preservation board is about providing residents with expertise and advice, Strosser said.
Its members don't exist to dictate to homeowners, he said, but rather are there as "wealth of information and knowledge" and are a resource people should take advantage of to maintain their home's or business' economic value.
Hollidaysburg's Main Street Manager Jamie Baser stressed that neither the review board nor the preservation commission are decision-making bodies.
The preservation commission has an 11-member body whose purpose is to survey Hollidaysburg's historic resources and promote public awareness of the historic value of the district.
The review board is comprised of seven of the preservation commission's members and has a primary responsibility to review applications for renovation or demolition in the historic district.
When someone wants to make a change to their home, they come before the review board, which is required to have a licensed real estate broker, a registered architect and a borough code official among its members.
"A lot of the things people want to do [to remodel], it's a very easy process," Baser said.
Borough resident Marie Little and her husband, John, helped get Hollidaysburg on the National Register of Historic Places and has been involved in preservation efforts throughout the borough for years.
She said Hollidaysburg's historic district is "a place that needs to have something said about it."
People who own historic homes need to have the sensitivity to maintain their home's outward appearance while being able to make necessary updates inside so they can "live in the 21st century," she added.
Little has owned her home on Walnut Street for more than 25 years and has updated and renovated throughout the years to make the home livable for her family while keeping its exterior true to the time period in which it was built.
Little is among the community members who are active in historic preservation, but Baser said many residents have told her they didn't know they lived in the historic district.
Having a new user-friendly homeowners' manual will help, she said.
The borough obtained a $10,000 Keystone Historic Preservation Grant through the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's Bureau for Historic Preservation.
The lion's share was put toward hiring Strosser, who owns an architectural firm in Lewisburg that deals mainly with preservation, with the leftover money to be used for printing.
Strosser's portfolio includes restoration of Bucknell University's campus theater and St. Joseph Catholic Church in Danville.
Strosser said his main objective for the new manual was to better explain and "demystify" the application process to residents who want to renovate their building.
The 1994 edition of the book is 50 pages long and features a historic district map and lists the prominent architectural styles found throughout Hollidaysburg. At the end are examples of building material options, examples of acceptable and not acceptable changes and a list of outside resources.
Baser said the old manual provided a lot of information, but the new version will provide more current information, a step-by-step process of applying for building or demolition permits and will be available online so people can more easily access its resources.
Little said people can do research on their own, or hire someone familiar with their home's architectural style. That way, they can find the right materials to keep with the time period - or at least give the appearance of it when the right materials aren't available, or not within someone's budget.
"People think [the homeowners' manual is] a restrictive manual, but it's educational," Little said, and people should not be put off by the guidelines.
"There are choices out there, you just have to know where to find them."
Before a final draft is made, borough officials plan to hold a public meeting 5 p.m. Thursday at the Municipal Building to get public input on what people would like to see in the new manual.

California has slashed the salaries of 217,000 state employees by nearly 5 percent as part of Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to save the state $850 million.
The plan is an effort to move the state closer to erasing a $16 billion deficit.
Nineteen employee unions agreed to the one-year cut in exchange for one extra day off a month.
An estimated 11,000 engineers in two bargaining units did not agree to the furloughs. But the cuts were still forced on them.
"State government workers are not immune to the same types of pressures that the private sector is," H.D. Palmer, deputy director for the California Department of Finance, told local reporters.
"Rather than going through a layoff situation, the agreement was to have individuals agree to or have forced upon them a one-day-a-month unpaid leave per month," he said.
State leaders gave advanced warning of the cuts. But it was still surprising for many workers when they opened this week's paychecks to see what the loss really meant.

|The Apple Mach Register
Do you have an apple tree in your garden? The Apple Mach Register is a record of apple varieties growing in the Dyfi Valley. It tells us which grow and fruit well in our climate and gives local people the opportunity to propagate their own trees from proven varieties.
Browsing the supermarket shelves, you would not guess that over 2,000 varieties of apple can be grown in the UK. Each has its unique taste, as well as other qualities such as early fruiting, long storage life, disease resistance, or especially beautiful blossom. Some varieties have facinating links to their localities such as the Bardsey Island and Pig Aderyn apples.
Please send us details about your tree(s) by completing the Apple Mach form. If you don't know what kind of apple you have tell us about it anyway - you may be able to get it identified at an "Apple Day" (see the Common Ground website on the links page for Apple Days which are usually held in October).
Each year in February/March we hold a grafting workshop at which you can propagate a variety from the register and take home your newly-grafted tree. So you can eat apples choosen for their taste instead of how well they can withstand being trucked to the supermarket.
Tell us about your fruit tree (download Apple Mach register form) >>

Minnesota Festival On Ice Melts Art's Boundaries
Hide captionAt the Art Shanty festival on Medicine Lake in Plymouth, Minn., the ICE-Cycles shanty uses a bit of fun (and weather-appropriate tires) to try to encourage wintertime bike riding.Nathaniel Freeman/nathanielhfreeman.com
Hide captionFestival attendees listen to a tour from the Audio Adventure Shanty through headphones that double as another layer of insulation.
Hide captionMost visitors to Art Shanty dress in the usual winter wear, but a few wear their own works of art, like a coat made of caution tape.
Hide captionThe big green egg of the SitandSpinShanty can whirl riders in a circle.
Hide captionA periscope at the bottom of the Robot Reprise shanty gives visitors a robot's-eye-view of the frozen lake.
Hide captionThe Shantyquarian, Art Shanty's daily newspaper, is printed by hand at the Letterpress Shanty. Most of the content comes from Twitter (#shantyq).
Hide captionEven temperatures in the teens can't keep people away from Art Shanty. Luckily, most of the shanties themselves are heated.

Call it the Burning Man of the Midwest: a temporary city built around artistic expression. Only this one takes place in the suburbs of Minneapolis in the middle of winter.
Minnesota is known for its 10,000 lakes. When the lakes freeze for the winter, the state is known for its ice fishing and its ice shanties — little homemade fishing shacks full of heaters, radios and bottles of schnapps.
On Medicine Lake, 20 shanties are part of a festival called Art Shanty Projects. They're filled with art and dance parties. The festival closes next weekend, and organizers expect about 10,000 visitors before it's done.
Although it's a bitter 15 degrees, hundreds of people are out, bundled in winter coats, long underwear and the occasional neon jumpsuit.
"This whole project kind of expands people's ideas of what art can be," says Peter Haakon Thompson, who co-founded Art Shanty in 2004. "I think a lot of people are intimidated by museums and galleries, and think that they're going to do something wrong when they're there. And there's definitely not that feeling out here."
All sorts of people are skidding around the frozen lake. Sixteen-year-old Lu Xiao Ge is with a group of 54 Chinese exchange students, who are almost speechless at the sight.
"It's [a] surprise. It's not normal," she says. "I like it very much."
There are some great installations out on the ice. A giant robot waves its arms, and a daily newspaper is printed by hand on an old letterpress.
Then a weirdly silent mob of people starts dancing. They all sport fuzzy pink headphones from the Audio Adventure Shanty, which give them the beat. One dancer lifts his headphones to share the music and offers up another pair.
Artist Nathaniel Freeman says this sort of interplay — a kind of conversation between audience and artist — has really become the focus.
"I think before it was kind of about creating fantastic things to come witness, and now it really seems to be about creating fantastic things to come interact with," he says.
Also, Freeman says, people come out because it's Minnesota.
"Winter's so legit here. People really do fish out of ice shanties," he says. "So that feels like there's a good entry point."
However, most shanties wouldn't have a local folk music trio playing up in the loft.

Tom Brady and pregnant wife Gisele Bündchen, browsing through stores together during a fun day out at the Malibu Country Mart. The couple also stopped for Greek food at Taverna Tony. "Gisele looked great" in her gray top and jeans, says an eyewitness. The model ate hummus with caviar and Greek salad with chicken. Meanwhile, "her husband was very nice and kept rubbing her back," the eyewitness tells us.
The following night at Taverna Tony, Jessica Alba stepped out to dinner with stylist pal Rachel Zoe and the fashionista's hubby, Rodger Berman. The actress showed off a new blonder do – and some fancy footwork. "When the bellydancers danced by their table, Jessica got up and started dancing with them," the restaurant's owner Tony Koursaris tells us. "She was a great dancer."
Leave it to Capt. Kirk to crash Mr. Spock's party! Chris Pine interrupted Star Trek costar Zachary Quinto's lunch with a pal at Lamill in L.A.'s Silver Lake neighborhood. But it was a welcome surprise and the trio were "conversing like friends," a fellow diner says. After the meal, Quinto took off at warp speed . . . on his bike!
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, visiting friends who are in the touring cast of the musical Wicked during a late-night visit to the Redwood Room in San Francisco's Clift Hotel. Lambert, who performed in the show before his Idol days, was mobbed by fans as soon as he arrived at the bar – so a private security detail had to join the singer at his table, where he sipped a vodka tonic and hung out with his pals.
One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush celebrated her 27th birthday with 12 of her closest friends at Nobu West Hollywood. The actress took a seat on the patio as she ate her sushi alongside guests like Kenna and Kevin Zegers, and had a big laugh when her cake was presented as Jeremih's song "Birthday Sex" played.

Old red wine in new bottles turns sour
By N V Ravindranathan Nair - BANGALORE
Published: 20th Jan 2013 07:32:04 AM
The red flag no longer seems to be able to raise passions on old ideological issues. The CPI(M)'s anti-UDF agitations and strikes evoked little popular response. The latest to definitely flop was the party's indefinite land struggle to force the government to distribute the surplus land among Dalits, tribals and landless people.
The party, that survived on revolutionary fervor and violence from the 1950s to the Noughties is disconnected with a public, weary of strikes and disruptions. On January 8 the pro-Left unions and teachers launched another state-wide indefinite strike demanding withdrawal of the move to implement participatory pension for those appointed in government service from April 1, 2013.
But neither the party cadres or supporters were enthusiastic. The failure of the strike was humiliating. But the government refused to offer any face-saving device such as inviting the CPI(M) for talks and give them a chance to call off the strike. Without achieving any assurance on withdrawing the participatory pension scheme the reds called off the strike at 1.30 am on January 13 apparently to avoid further embarrassment.
After the humiliating defeat of its service organisations, it was the turn for the next insult. Tribal and Dalit leaders had openly rejected the CPI(M)'s land stir as a mere political stunt from the very beginning. Speaking to The Sunday Standard, the Sadhujana Vimochana Samyuktha Vedi (SVSV) leader Laha Gopalan said that the agitation had failed to trigger the emotive element in the struggle though the issue involved was the basic need for a piece of land for hapless people to set up their habitat or for burial.
"They (CPI(M)) are worried about the exodus of Dalits and downtrodden classes from the Communist party following the success of the Chengara struggle. CPI(M) wants to check the outflow and keep the Dalits and Adivasis as their obedient cadres," he said. Meanwhile, Adivasi Gothra Mahasabha State coordinator M Geethanandan accused the CPI(M)'s land stir of being a "political stunt". He said that by erecting the shacks at so called surplus land CPI(M) wanted to create law and order issue and sabotage the very cause, he said.
The CPM has also been exposed as it was under the V S Government that all required sanctions were granted to Aranmula Airport project. It was the same LDF Government that approved the Kochi Medicity project at Kadamakkudy, Ernakulam, in the environmentally sensitive land. If it wishes to remain as a political force, the party will have to rethink its revolution politics.

Local funeral directors say providing food at their funeral homes may not be such a bad idea.
U.S. District Judge John Jones III agrees.
Jones handed down a 159-page ruling on May 8 that struck down parts of Pennsylvania's 60-year-old set of laws governing the funeral industry, including the serving of food during services.

Larrie Derman, supervisor of Derman Funeral Home Inc., 1200 Lincoln Ave., Tyrone, sets up a casket in his display room.
The ruling was in response to a lawsuit filed in May 2008 by Lancaster County funeral director Ernest Heffner on behalf of himself and 32 others against the State Board of Funeral Directors.
Jones said the State Board of Funeral Directors has refused to modernize the law and gave the board three months to respond to his ruling. A board spokesman said it's under review.
According to Kathleen Ryan, general counsel and chief operating officer of the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association, a trade group representing about 1,100 members, Jones ruling is stayed at a minimum until Aug. 8.
If Jones' ruling survives, food may be offered at Plank, Stitt & Stevens Funeral Home in Hollidaysburg.
"I am sure we would consider it. Funeral directors would have the option to cater to families if they wish," Supervisor Dave Mason said.
On occasion, people ask if they can bring in food when there is an extended viewing, Mason said.
Funeral homes would need the space to provide for food.
"As long as the facility has a separate room, it is a good idea. I wouldn't want to get involved in preparing food. You would need a proper facility first," said Larrie Derman, supervisor of Derman Funeral Home Inc., Tyrone. "I think if the facility has an adequate lunch room with a table, refrigerator, water and sink, it would be a good idea."
A lot of the newer funeral homes have built separate rooms or buildings to provide catering or to bring in their own food, said Carl Brendel, supervisor and funeral director at The Good Funeral Home Inc., Altoona.
"We need to have the law changed to do it. We have a coffee area, but we can't provide it and the family can't bring in food. They need to eat something when they are there for a long day," Brendel said. "More people are diabetic today and need food or snacks. It presents a problem for them if there is not food available."
Brendel understands why some may have concerns about offering food.
"What happens when a family brings in food and creates a great mess?" Brendel said. "I believe there was concern about it being a health hazard in the past."
Jones also struck down the portion of the law that allows only licensed funeral directors, their spouse or heirs to own funeral homes.
Some local directors don't want that part of the law to be changed.
"This could open it up to anyone who could sell funerals. We are concerned with how to protect the consumer," said Guido Santella, supervisor at Leslie E. Axe Funeral Home, Altoona. "If unlicensed people could do it, that could create problems. The purpose of licensing is to protect the public.
"That would probably destroy the value of the license we went to school for. It would allow anyone to sell funerals to the public."
There could be situations where conglomerates could come in and buy up the funeral homes, Mason said.
"I think family ownership is a good thing. It is just like a community bank. They are people you have dealt with over the years and you develop trust with them," he said.
John Eirkson, executive director of the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association, doesn't see a need to change that portion of the law.
"I think it has been working pretty well for a long time. They [conglomerates] are already here, but it would make it easier for them if it is upheld. They are looking for funeral homes that do 300 to 400 funerals a year and there are not a lot of them in Pennsylvania," Eirkson said.
Joseph Stevens III, president of The Stevens Mortuary Inc., Altoona, said changing the law could create problems.
"It would allow large public companies to move into Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has many small family-owned funeral homes. The potential is there for a problem but they would just be another competitor," Stevens said.
Brendel doesn't see changing of the family ownership provision as a problem.
"I am sure some of the older funeral directors would say leave it the way it is. I don't see a problem with that [changing it]," Brendel said.
"On one aspect, it makes sense. On the other hand if the law stands as it is, my license would be more valuable if I am the only person allowed to own a funeral home," Brendel said.
Local funeral directors are pleased that Jones upheld the provision that allows only licensed funeral directors to perform cremations.
"That means not just anyone can offer cremation services. It was good that was upheld," Stevens said.

Just after 3 AM, Hingham was rocked by a 65 MPH wind gust. That house-shaking wind gust beats the gust of 63 MPH that was recorded in Hurricane Sandy. At the nearby Blue Hill Observatory, winds gusted to 81 MPH which is hurricane force. Braintree gusted to 62 MPH, and Logan Airport gusted to 60 MPH.
The gusty winds, which came along with downpours as a cold front pushed through New England, did cause some damage.
Numerous trees and wires were reported down all over the South Shore.
Here in Hingham trees and wires were down on Jones Street, Cushing Street, Derby Street, Garrison Road, and even on 3A's Back River bridge for a time.
The Quincy-Boston MBTA commuter boat also canceled some morning trips due to the wind.
The worst of the winds will pass when the rain ends, around the end of the morning commute. It will still be windy all day Thursday, however, with occasional gusts in the 35-45 MPH range. By lunch expect temperatures to drop to around 40.

Going to the chapel
The announcement took everyone by surprise, including the groom's grandmother who said, "I'm thrilled. I had to take a tablet to calm myself down." Five days after proposing' for the second time, British rocker Elton John, 36, married German-born recording technician Renate Blauel, 30, on St. Valentine's Day, in Darling Point, Sydney, Australia. Bedecked in a white silk tailcoat, straw boater, lilac-striped shirt and spats, Captain Fantastic exchanged vows with his more traditionally dressed bride. Then Mr. and Mrs. John headed for a lavish reception for 400 guests at a nearby hotel. The couple, who met in London 18 months ago when Renate was assistant engineer on John's Too Low for Zero album, are honeymooning in New Zealand, while the singer's lawyers are scrambling to work out a prenuptial agreement after the fact.
Since John has been candid about his bisexual life-style, the wedding had family and friends aflutter. Back in England, his mum gushed, "I always knew Elton would get married in the end." But the British press described Bob Halley, John's personal assistant and live-in companion for the past eight years, as "mute with shock."
Nevertheless, Elton has previously hinted in interviews that he could be the marrying kind. "I wouldn't consider it unless I was absolutely certain that I'd found the right person," he once speculated. "A successful marriage would make me the happiest man in the world." And give him something to sing about.
Four-star fiesta
As Hollywood's favorite Mexican restaurant, Lucy's El Adobe has spiced up the evenings of such regulars as Dolly Parton, Betty Thomas and Jackson Browne. So when the abode celebrated its 20th anniversary, the town hoisted margaritas in celebration. Linda Ronstadt (left) provided a bouquet of helium balloons and, along with a mariachi band, serenaded owner Frank Casado, who was also celebrating his 60th birthday. His wife, Lucy, the restaurant's namesake and a madre figure to some of the music world's young and restless, exclaimed, "I love these famous kids." Accepting six birthday cakes and congratulations from J.D. Souther, Ronee Blakley and former Eagle Don Henley, Frank added, "I remember when most of them didn't have the price of an enchilada."
Michael's white-glove treatment
In some ways the party that CBS Records threw for Michael Jackson at New York City's American Museum of Natural History was less than a thriller. Guests were startled when cannons filled with confetti went off to herald Jackson's arrival with date Brooke Shields. But he made only brief appearances in the main room before retreating to a private chamber where such celebs as Calvin Klein and Mary Tyler Moore delivered their Congrats. The floor show, with each dancer sporting Jackson's trademark, a white glove (top), was a hit with Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson (right) and for Carly Simon (above), who arrived on the arm of John Sykes, 27, MTV's vice president of programming. By midnight, though, most guests were content to beat it.

"We kind of struggled coming out because we were a young team and I was the only returning starter from last year's championship team," People said. "We really didn't have anyone with experience so we struggled at first. Everyone just bought into the program and things started to click for us and we went on a winning streak."
At 6 feet 6 inches and 308 pounds and blessed with quick feet and agility, Peoples is a dominant force. But as the heart and soul of his basketball team, there was a growing and unifying moment his teammates had after he left to visit BYU for the official recruit weekend.
"We started doing really but then our team lost when I was on my recruiting trip that weekend when I was out at BYU," Peoples said. "They lost in double overtime, but the good thing is they gained a lot of confidence without me being there. They gained all that confidence, and so when I came back they just put me back into it and it's made us a better team. We started on a role and taking out all the teams and now we're in the district playoffs."
On Thursday night Rigby will face Blackfoot High School.
"We've got a big game [Thursday] coming up, so if we win that then we're in the district championships on our home court on Tuesday," said Peoples. "It's great because we won the state championship last year."
Not only did Peoples win a state championship in basketball, but he also won a state championship as a member of his track and field team.
"I did the shot put and did alright last year. I threw it around 58 feet or something like that. I hope to get that up to around 60 feet this year. We got two championships in one year, so hopefully we can do it again this year."
Now back to basketball. For the 2012-13 season, Peoples claims he is the leading scorer in the state of Idaho.
"I'll have some off games here and there, you know," Peoples said. "But I'll have my 20-point games and my 30-point games. Every now and then I'll get up to around a 38-point game, but whenever the team is down and needs to score I'll step in and fill that role. I showed Coach that I could step out and shoot the three or I take it inside with my dribbling skills. I have the highest three-point percentage on our team right now, so that kind of helps too and I usually get around 12-to-15 points a game on threes."
Towering over his opponents at the center position, Peoples also has a lot of inside scoring.
"I also get a lot of points on the easy rebounds on the inside as well," he said. "I'll get around five or 10 easy rebounds a game, so those add up to easy points, so it's not like I'm doing crazy stuff. It's just all the little things that starts adding up at the end. That's why I'm the point leader in Idaho at our school."
So when is Peoples going to run the point? That's what most fans want to know.
"Hey, when I've got the ball and do a crossover they go crazy out here," Peoples said with a laugh. "I've done it a couple of times. But as far as ball-handling skills, if I had better ball-handling skills I would probably do it more often."
Confident that he can help his team to victory Thursday night, Peoples feels he and his teammates can win another championship.
"Yeah, we have a really good team and everyone has bought into what we're trying to do," Peoples said. "We've all come together and there's no doubt that we can do it again this year."

OFJ Field Journal from Lou D'Amario - 11/2/95
CONTROLLING THE ALTITUDE OF THE IO FLYBYEveryone is very relieved that the tape recorder is working again. However, there will be no pictures taken on the approach to Jupiter, so the Navigation Team will have to do without the three optical navigation pictures that were planned. What this means is that the our ability to control the Io flyby in the latitude (or North/South) direction will not be as good. This is not a problem, since there will be no pictures taken of Io during the approach to Jupiter. However, it is still very important to control the altitude of the Io flyby accurately, and this journal will explain why.
On October 25, the Navigation Team completed the final test and training exercise before the Jupiter encounter. This final test simulated the work the Navigation Team does for the "JOI Tweak". What is the "JOI Tweak"? Between now and the Io flyby (which occurs four hours before Galileo's closest approach to Jupiter), the mission plan allows for three trajectory correction maneuvers (TCMs) to control the flyby conditions at Io. The Io flyby reduces the speed of Galileo (called a "gravity assist"); this reduces the velocity change (known as "delta V") required at the Jupiter Orbit Insertion (JOI) burn by about 175 meters per second (378 mph), which results in a large propellant savings. Since the spacecraft has a limited amount of propellant, it's always good news to hear that we can save some more.
As the spacecraft gets closer to Io, the Nav team's aiming accuracy increases. With the final TCM (five days before the Io flyby), we are able to control the altitude of the Io flyby to within plus or minus 115 kilometers of the desired value of 1000 kilometers. If Galileo passes closer to Io than 1000 kilometers, the spacecraft's speed is reduced more than was planned; in that case, we can reduce the JOI velocity change and save propellant. On the other hand, if Galileo passes further from Io than 1000 kilometers, its speed is reduced less than planned, and the size of the JOI delta V needs to be increased (using more propellant).
So, the "JOI tweak" is simply a late adjustment of the JOI burn, based on our improved knowledge of the altitude of the Io flyby. The final TCM, which takes place 5 days before the Io flyby (or, in Nav shorthand, Io - 5 days), is based on radio tracking data up to Io - 6 days. Three days later, with three additional days of tracking, the uncertainty in the altitude of the Io flyby drops to plus or minus 75 kilometers. Based on this improved estimate of the Io flyby altitude, the Navigation Team computes a new JOI delta V. Then, commands are prepared and sent to Galileo to change (or "tweak") the JOI delta V value in the computer on board the spacecraft.
On November 1, the Relay/JOI Readiness Review was held. Managers and analysts on the flight team presented to a review board the operations plans and spacecraft sequences for receiving and storing on the Orbiter the data sent from the atmospheric Probe and for performing the JOI burn. I was one of many people who gave a presentation. My presentation, which took most of about a week to prepare, discussed the navigation results for the Orbiter Deflection Maneuver (ODM) and TCM-26.
ODM, which was performed two weeks after the atmospheric Probe was released, was the first maneuver to target Galileo for its flyby of the moon Io and the first TCM to use the big 400 Newton engine (although it uses different letters, the Orbit Deflection Maneuver is a Trajectory Change Maneuver, too). Trajectory Change Maneuvers are never perfect, because 1) the navigators do not have perfect knowledge of where Galileo is and where it is headed at the time of the TCM and 2) the actual change in velocity performed by the rocket thrusters on Galileo never turns out to be exactly what was commanded. So we keep performing TCMs until the errors are so small that they no longer matter. TCM-26 was performed about one month after the ODM as part of this trajectory error correction process. The improvements are fairly significant: after ODM, the Io flyby altitude was about 1800 kilometers away from the desired value of 1000 kilometers. After TCM-26, the miss will be no more than a few hundred kilometers (and perhaps a lot less).
The next Trajectory Change Maneuver (TCM-27) is scheduled for November 17 (20 days before the Io flyby, or Io-20). The design of TCM-27 starts next week on November 8 (nine days before the maneuver is performed). My next journal entry will contain the results of the design of TCM-27. Stay tuned!

Searching for the right puppy to adopt is like analyzing an open-ended chemistry question.
I don't know what to do, because any puppy – or anything off the periodic table – seems to be the right one. But, judging from my high school chemistry class report card years ago, I know at least the latter is not true. Reluctantly, I admit there are certain criteria that have to be met.
A dog breed that could be confused for a horse isn't the right pooch for me. Because I live in an apartment, I need a small furry friend who doesn't require a ton of exercise and won't bring neighbors knocking at my door with cease-and-desist barking orders.
My girlfriend is good for plenty of suggestions, but the 'good' reference is questionable. "Why don't we get a tiny puppy that can fit in our hands?" she asks, bringing her best puppy-eyes face to the conversation.
"I've already had plenty of hamsters," I respond.
Cold blooded.
I'm open to both rescuing a dog or getting one from a breeder, and in the past week, I've checked out both scenarios. But, both times I've returned home with the same amount of passengers as I came with.
The latest time was this past Sunday in Wilmington, N.C. while visiting my previous home. I visited an 8-week-old miniature dachshund who was as adorable as that sounds. But, for whatever reason, the puppy wasn't as into me as I hoped to be about him. So, it wasn't a good match.
Sitting cross-legged in the breeder's home with the puppy at my feet, about 10 feet away from the barking mother, below a half dozen bird cages and just past a black cat, I wondered if this was a scene straight out of Jumanji, or is this the real process? Then, I realized that I need my dog-loving readers' help.
Sorry, cat enthusiasts, maybe another time – or never.
I'm looking for a dog who will complete my Charleston home. Can you help?
