Theater companies cut Shakespeare to reflect casting, to indulge shortened attention spans, or to center the play on a director's artistic vision or insight, among other reasons. Curio Theatre's current production of The Tempest proves that a bit of risk lies in any of these approaches. And, like any gamble, it also hints at large, if quick, rewards.
The Tempest's traditional three-hour run time presents one of Shakespeare's most straightforward plots. Courtly treachery dethroned Duke Prospero (Brian McCann) and imprisoned him and his daughter Miranda (a delightful Isa St. Clair) on a remote island inhabited by the spirit Ariel and a monster, Caliban (Robert DaPonte). Here, Prospero learns magic and enslaves Ariel and Caliban.

The scholarship offers continue to pile up for Hart High football playes.
On Monday, head coach Mike Herrington confirmed that center Blake Porter has received his first college offer, from Northern Arizona University.
"We're really happy for him," Herrington said.
Porter will be a senior for Hart this season and is expected to start at center and play defensive tackle.
Northern Arizona is an NCAA Football Championship Subdibision team, which finished 8-3 last year and took fourth place in the Big Sky Conference.

Nanci Griffith
It's Nanci Griffith's difficult fortune to have come of artistic age in an era when members of her true vocation—folksingers—are an endangered species. Griffith's record company, Elektra, is doing its best to disguise her essence, coating her new album with an icing of a la mode artists, including members of U2, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows and Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler. Griffith, however, doesn't need the help; if anything, the excess baggage merely threatens to keep Flyer earthbound. Away from the hit-parade spotlight, Griffith has become our leading creator of folk-based pop songs, James Taylor's spiritual heir. But at bottom, Flyer is a lonely album. Its leitmotivs are the longing for a mate, the fear of growing old alone. "Me, I'm getting older and I'm plain/As plain as can be," sings Griffith in "Goodnight to a Mother's Dream." The album closes on an upbeat note with "This Heart," the only requited-love song, but after so much pain, the tune's bounce seems forced. Still, Griffith has a gift—a knack for making listeners feel that somebody understands their cluttered lives and travails. (Elektra)

The Texas Supreme Court will hear arguments for two cases on Wednesday, 500 miles from its home in Austin.
Court will be in session at the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts in front of an audience of about 500 area high school and college students for Texas Supreme Court Student Education Day. Seating is limited for the public.
The court accepted an invitation from the Amarillo Area Bar Association as part of the organization's centennial celebration.
The court will hear oral arguments for two cases: one that originated in Lubbock County over the transfer of tax liens and another that has to do with the Texas Wrongful Imprisonment Act.
An effort to bring the top court in Texas to Amarillo began early last year, said Four Price, president of the Amarillo Area Bar Association and recently elected House District 87 representative. The association celebrated its history with a variety of activities.
"This is the culminating event for it," Price said.
The Texas Bar Foundation provided $12,610 for the visit, said Andrea Stone, executive director of the state association.
The Texas Supreme Court selects cases for review when there are unsettled areas of law, said Tom Morris, a longtime Amarillo lawyer. Judges don't have to hear oral arguments to make a ruling, but sometimes they want to hear attorneys for both sides discuss the issues in the case.
"It's great to be able to argue in the Supreme Court because it's an important case," he said.
The hearing Wednesday might be a bit difficult to follow for the average observer, but Morris suggested listening closely to learn about the issues that are before the court, to the arguments given by lawyers on each and the questions from the judges.
"It takes careful attention and focus," he said.
Students from Tascosa High School have reviewed documents on the court cases, and the field trip will give them some exposure to state and local government, said Carrie King, who teaches government. King will bring 30 students in advanced government and economics courses.
Voters statewide amended the Texas Constitution in the late 1990s to allow the Texas Supreme Court to hear cases outside of Austin, court spokesman Osler McCarthy said.

In a wedding fit for a princess, Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson wed her NFL player beau Hank Baskett at her onetime residence, the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles's exclusive Holmby Hills, on Saturday, PEOPLE confirms.
At around 6:45 p.m., the Playmate and former Girls Next Door star, 24, walked down the aisle in a white dress, dripping in more than $100,000 worth of platinum jewelry by Michael Barin, including drop earrings, a pendant and bracelet. The groom also wore white, as did the groomsmen, while the bridesmaids were in lavender.
Among the hundreds of guests were former boyfriend and Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and fellow Playmate Bridget Marquardt, who was among the bridal party.
The bride and groom married out in the open on a lawn, and there were white rose petals and flower wreaths decorating the aisle.
"She was beaming," says an eyewitness.
The wedding week kicked off with date night Monday evening at the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, where Wilkinson told PEOPLE, "I feel great! We're just ready to say our 'I do's' and just go on our honeymoon and we're ready to be married." Her sole concern? "Tripping down the aisle," she admitted.
Wednesday afternoon the bride-to-be relaxed with some personal pampering and girl time with her mother, grandmother and bridal party at Face to Face Los Angeles, a salon in Studio City.
The happy couple announced some other big news earlier this month – their first child, due on Christmas day.

Sweden RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Winter Activities in Sweden
By Diana Edelman, USA, February 2013
For outdoor enthusiasts, there are a myriad of wintertime excursions which let the sharp air pierce the lungs, while getting that adrenaline fix. With numerous frozen lakes dotting the landscape, many now feature activities like ice yachting, kite winging (similar to the summer time activity of kite surfing) and long-distance skating. If frozen lakes aren't your thing, there are more traditional wintertime sports activities like skiing or ice climbing that attract adventurers.
Editor's Note: This recommendation was taken from Sweden Things to Do blog. Visit the original post to continue reading the full post and to learn more about things to do in Sweden.

Tim Marklein lives and breathes PR measurement. As executive VP of measurement and strategy at Weber Shandwick, Marklein is charged with helping top-tier clients assess the value and impact of their communications efforts. This makes him well-qualified to recap the state of measurement in 2010, and make some predictions for 2011. Marklein will have more to say about measurement trends as a presenter at the PR News Measurement Conference, to be held March 1 in Washington, D.C.
PR News: What were the biggest trends and developments in PR measurement this year?
Tim Marklein: Two things. First, there was a pretty significant trend toward integrating traditional media and social media analysis in a richer way than we've seen in past years. You have more vendors who are partnering to offer this type of measurement. And, second, there's been a move to drive measurement standards like the Barcelona Principles. People have come together to define global standards of measurement, and created a platform for future discussion on a number of issues.
PR News: And what are some of those issues to be discussed?
Marklein: One issue that gets a lot of attention is moving beyond AVEs (Advertising Value Equivalents). This is really a matter of more education and adoption of different practices. Another is embedding social media metrics more broadly into a PR program, as well as standardizing core media measurement to shift the focus away from a more tactical view of a communications program to a strategic view that can be tied to the business objectives.
PR News: Have you seen any shift in what metrics are required by the C-suite?
Marklein: CEOs have always had an appreciation of reputation, but haven't always had that conversation in a data-driven way with their communications officers. I do see more of that happening now, though. I also see a trend with CMOs and CFOs and their dashboards—they are demanding good metrics from PR and corporate communications, so PR professionals need to take a hard look at their own dashboards to make sure they provide such metrics.
PR News: What will be new and different in 2011?
Marklein: We see a big opportunity around "inline analytics." This is analysis that overcomes distinctions between online and offline. Right now there are tools available that measure two or three things really well. But there's a need for tools that can measure eight or nine things well across online and offline, and we'll see more of those types of tools in 2011. Another trend we'll see is a shift beyond thinking about measurement as a back-end, after-the-fact activity. The notion of metrics and analytics is taking hold across the business. It won't be about analyzing a campaign, but about making analytics a living and breathing part of the enterprise.
PR News: What is your New Year's measurement resolution?
Marklein: To keep it simple. The challenge for those of us who do this for a living is how to make this understandable to a PR person not steeped in measurement, or a CEO who wants to quickly know the impact of communications. The real challenge is keeping it simple without dumbing it down.
Tim Marklein will be speaking on the must-know trends and next practices in PR measurement at the PR News Measurement Conference on March 1 at the National Press Club in Washington DC.

Data to support landowner's claims for a cost-in-water income tax depletion allowance for federal income tax returns have been inspected and approved by an Internal Revenue Service engineer for tax year 2001, according to a High Plains Underground Water Conservation District news release.
Taxpayers who own land within the 15-county High Plains district service area may now obtain this data from the district office in Lubbock.
Landowners who have not previously claimed the allowance need to establish the number of feet of saturated material that they had beneath their land at the time of acquisition, the cost of the water which has been determined by comparing actual land sales with and without ground water at the date of land acquisition, and the decline in the water level during the tax year.
The district contracts with a professional land appraiser, who documents land sales occurring within portions of the water district each year.
The average selling price for dryland farm sales is subtracted from the average selling price for irrigated farms.
The price difference is the value of the ground water.
All requests for water depletion data must be in writing.
The requests may be mailed to the High Plains Water District, 2930 Avenue Q, Lubbock, Texas 79405-1499.
The cost is $10 for the data for each parcel of land when decline is shown.
For a new claim, taxpayers must include a complete legal description of the tract of land on which the claim is to be filed; the date of land acquisition; the number of acres in the tract; and the landowner's name, address and Social Security number.
For $50, one receives the IRS-approved cost-in-water guidelines, the number of feet of saturated thickness for the year of acquisition and the water level decline data for the current year and up to two previous years.
If it has been three years since water level decline data have been requested, landowners should provide their name, address, Social Security number or federal identification number, the legal description of the land tract, the total number of acres in the tract and the total number of years for which these data are requested.
Requests for cost-in-water data are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
They should be directed to LaTisha Keller at the water district office.
She can be reached at 762-0181.

The 5-time Reigning Japanese Champion Visits America's Legendary Lax City
By Nelson Coffin
Saying that the Keio University lacrosse team came to play on its recent trip to the U.S. is not just a figure of speech and quite an understatement. The Japanese national champs really did come to play. And play. And play some more. It was a workingman's vacation for the Keio kids, who had a game scheduled every day they were in the States and twice on at least one occasion. That's the day the Tokyo-based school tied a Navy "B" squad and a couple of hours later staged a second-half rally to stay reasonably competitive in a 12-5 loss to UMBC. "I'm very proud of the way they played," said UMBC Coach Don Zimmerman, who first visited the Land of the Rising Sun in 1987 to hold a clinic and has been back six times since. "The improvement they've made since we went there the first time has been incredible."
UMBC's Don Zimmerman with JLA's Yusuke Sasaki
Zimmerman's Retrievers jumped out to a 7-0 lead under the lights at UMBC Stadium and then held on during a 16-minute scoreless stretch against a team that finally adjusted to the pace of encountering a Division I rival for the first time. Keio didn't score until Naoki Oyoshi broke through on a clever hidden-ball trick with 13:55 left in the first half (international rules stipulate 20-minute running quarters). Oyoshi also notched the 5-time Japanese Champions' second and third goals of the contest, while Nobuyuki Suzuki and Kensuke Kimura were the other goal scorers.
The Retrievers were paced by Brian Johnson, who totaled three goals and two assists. The attackman from Eastern Tech in Baltimore County was impressed with Keio's stylish stickwork and speed. "They finally got used to what we were doing," said Johnson, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament prior to his senior year in high school and still sports a brace on the injured knee. "And they were quick. They moved so well off the ball and could get open. But as far as size goes, we had it." UMBC used that hefty advantage to corral almost every faceoff and win the ground ball war as well.
Baltimore based lacrosse retailer Bacharach played a pivotal role in making the trip so successful. An old friend of owner Chris Hutchins, with connections to the JLA contacted him earlier in the year to see if Bacharach could help schedule some games, referees and generally help the team work out some logistics, according to Bacharach manager Hunter Francis. Francis and Hutchins booked them solid much to the team's delight. The schedule was an eclectic mix of talent levels which suited the Japanese team's goal of getting as much experience as possible on the trip. Games included indoor and outdoor games against Team Toyota, a top Baltimore high school team, a community college team, a Division 3 team, a Division I JV, the UMBC varsity, RebelWear's club team and then the finale this Saturday, September 28th against the Crease Monkeys. The Crease Monkeys contest is to be held at UMBC at 5:00 and is open to the public. A post party is planned for PJ's in Baltimore after the game. Bacharach also hosted a reception for the Keio students and friends at the Bacharach store in Towson on Wednesday.
Not every outing in America was as tough for Keio as the UMBC contest. A 9-8 loss to Goucher came in overtime and the Japanese visitors buried St. Paul's School, 24-2 and edged the Toyota club team, 11-8 outside while dropping the indoor game 17-12. Keio topped Harford Community college at Homewood 13-4 on Friday. The busy week opened with a scrimmage against Johns Hopkins and a clinic by JHU coaches and Major League Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Year Mark Millon of the champion Baltimore Bayhawks.
"We've had a very good experience here," said Keio Coach Yusuke Sasaki, a lacrosse manager when he attended Johns Hopkins in the late 1980s while Zimmerman was the coach. "We were a little tired after playing Navy, but this game was special for us because Don Zimmereman is a special friend of Japanese lacrosse." Besides providing a familiar face and a friendly smile, Zimmerman also posed the biggest obstacle for Keio. His UMBC team was primed for a battle and dominated the early going with its physical play. "At first, they put the pressure right on us and we couldn't get the pace," said Keio attackman Akihiro Okamato in fluent English. "We took a timeout and then we calmed down. They were bigger but I think we were quicker. Tonight's the best game we played." Size was an issue and will probably continue to be for Asian squads evenwhile making great strides in terms of stick skills. "I think they see lacrosse as a truly American sport," said Zimmerman. "The motto of the Japanese Lacrosse Association is 'Lacrosee makes friends.' And I think that's what they want to do."

Can anyone suggest a factory load for the .243 that will preform well on a wolf?

I like Parvi Partizan 243 in 100 gr soft nose bullet.
It will kill deer, wolves,etc.
I like it because the price is excellent & I like the cases as I get more reloads from them than any other cartridge.
People say they leave your gun dirty---I say that is why they make gun cleaning kits.
Have fun

I have found that the Federal load with the Sierra 85-grain HPBT is as accurate as my handloads with that bullet--which has worked well on some two dozen bucks.
Inside the chest cavity, it creates a double-handful of yuck.
October 26, 2012, 03:11 PM
I have some 100 gr Hornady that will destroy a coyote and should work well on wolves too.
October 26, 2012, 06:24 PM
Federal fusion 95 grain
October 26, 2012, 07:43 PM
In a 243 any factory load will work from 55 gr to a super tough 100 or 105 that wont open much. Such a bullet will do less damage to the hide.
Winchester has a 55 gr
105s look to be a hand load.
October 26, 2012, 11:36 PM
Thanks everyone For your input next weekend is deer rifle season up here. Then I'm going to borrow my daughters .243 for My first wolf hunt in northern Minnesota the weekend after Thanksgiving. I figure it would be a better choice than my 30/06.
October 27, 2012, 01:09 AM
Another vote for the Sierra 85 grain HPBT Federal load. These are death on any decent hit on the local blacktails or antelope to at least 400 yards.Should be perfect on any wolf.
October 27, 2012, 01:41 PM
i have never shot a wolf.
but i shoot loads of deer and have shot loads with .243. The best bullet i found for out and out killing was hornadys 100 gr interlock. so any loaded ammo with that in would be good. a lot depends on your rifles twist rate. if it will shoot 100s, go with them. sure deep penetration with the right bullet.
October 28, 2012, 09:37 AM
Cheap 100 grn Winchester power points or Rem. Corelocks will work on any critter in the yote size up to small blackbear size. They can be had at just about any retail sporting goods store. And they shoot pretty accurate also.
October 28, 2012, 12:13 PM
Never shot a wolf but have had excellent performance on deer and antelope with plain old Winchester 100gr PSP.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Reese Dismukes earned his spot as the leader of Auburn's offensive line last season.
"As far as dislocating the elbow during that game and playing through that, I think guys were like, 'This guy's here for the team,'" Dismukes said. "I think that was a big stepping point as far as everybody trusting me."
Any lingering questions teammates had after Dismukes' preseason arrest for public intoxication -- he was arrested a week before the season-opener against Clemson and suspended -- were somewhat answered by his willingness to play through the pain, particularly in a disastrous season.
His teammates knew Dismukes was battling through pain.
"When you dislocate your elbow, it takes all the pain away from the ankle," Dismukes said. "When you go out on Saturday, it doesn't matter how hurt you are. You've got adrenaline running, you really don't feel anything until after the game."
Being arrested forced Dismukes to take stock of where he was headed.
A preseason second team All-SEC pick by the media at SEC Media Days earlier this week, Dismukes has the talent to be one of the league's top centers and a possible NFL prospect.
Mistakes like the one he made last August would keep him from reaching any of those goals.
"I think it's more of a big-picture deal," Dismukes said. "Two years ago, you're 18 years old stepping into a whole new world. Once you get to where I am now, you see what you have in front of you."
Auburn's coaching change during the offseason offered Dismukes an even further chance to put the mistakes of his past behind him.
Under new head coach Gus Malzahn, every Tiger was supposed to start with a clean slate.
The coaching staff stuck to that philosophy.
"With us, we were true to our word. We came in with 'A New Day.' It was a fresh start," offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said. "I've really been proud of how he handled himself, on the field, off the field, leading guys. All the little things. So I'd really just prefer to move forward and not worry about what else has happened in the past."
In the spring, Dismukes took over the offensive line.
From offseason workouts on through spring practices, Dismukes was vocal, the only voice heard almost as often as offensive line coach J.B. Grimes, hollering out instructions, barking at teammates to move quickly through drills.
Healthy again, Dismukes grabbed control of Auburn's offensive line and wouldn't let go.
"Well, you know, we were 3-9 last year. Somebody's got to step up, and I kind of put that on my shoulders," Dismukes said. "Get guys going in the right direction and take charge."
Knowing the pain Dismukes played through last season makes it much easier for his teammates to follow.

Anorexia Nervosa Health Center
Anorexia and Osteoporosis
In this article
What Is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an irrational fear of weight gain. People with anorexia nervosa believe that they are overweight even when they are extremely thin. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 0.5 to 3.7 percent of females have anorexia nervosa. While the majority of people with anorexia are female, an estimated 5 to 15 percent of people with anorexia are male.
Individuals with anorexia become obsessed with food and severely restrict their dietary intake. The disease is associated with several health problems and, in rare cases, even death. The disorder may begin as early as the onset of puberty. If a girl has anorexia when she reaches puberty, her first menstrual period is typically delayed. For girls who have already reached puberty, menstrual periods are often infrequent or absent.
What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become less dense and more likely to fracture. Fractures from osteoporosis can result in significant pain and disability. It is a major health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans, 68 percent of whom are women.
Risk factors for developing osteoporosis include:
- being thin or having a small frame
- having a family history of the disease
- for women, being postmenopausal, having an early menopause, or not having menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
- using certain medications, such as glucocorticoids
- not getting enough calcium
- not getting enough physical activity
- smoking
- drinking too much alcohol.
Osteoporosis is a silent disease that can often be prevented. However, if undetected, it can progress for many years without symptoms until a fracture occurs. It has been called "a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences," because building healthy bones in one's youth will help prevent osteoporosis and fractures later in life.
The Anorexia Nervosa – Osteoporosis Link
Anorexia nervosa has significant physical consequences. Affected individuals can experience nutritional and hormonal problems that negatively impact bone density. Low body weight in females causes the body to stop producing estrogen, resulting in a condition known as amenorrhea, or absent menstrual periods. Low estrogen levels contribute to significant losses in bone density.

In its headlong rush to push a tax measure onto the November ballot at any cost, the City of Concord today is crowing about its contract with Public Employees Union Local 1. In essence the City is making employees pay an additional 2% toward pension costs but gives it back in the form of an extra 41.6 hours (2%) of compensatory time each year under the new contract. Let's break it down
1. Continue 5 percent pay cut through 13 unpaid furlough days
2. Forego raises, and freeze step increases the first year of the agreement.
3. In 2010-11 pay 2 percent of salaries towards retirement costs currently paid by the City,
4. Increase that amount by 3 percent the following year for a total of 5 percent.
Despite the claims of the the city's full court press for a tax hike, when you factor in the 2% giveback in the form of comp time, this is no 10 percent reduction in wages at all, which is how the Concord press release dressed up the pig.
The troubling part of this is, if you can furlough people, and the world did not end, then they really aren't so essential. So why not pare back on even more non-essential services and programs, rather than give back comp time?
The Concord City Council with its "we-say-so" survey, letters to select "community leaders," and slick campaign mailer—paid for with city funds—that push for a tax measure on the November ballot, are delusional if they think passing a tax measure of $5.3M for fiscal 2010-11 without controlling costs will be temporary. And until it controls costs it will, just like the school districts, come back in 2011, 2012, and 2013 to further rob taxpayers just for operating costs.

WBO 140-pound titleholder Ruslan Provodnikov will make his first defense against Chris Algieri on June 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, promoters Artie Pellulo of Banner Promotions and Joe DeGuardia of Star Boxing officially announced on Monday in accordance to an earlier report by RingTV.com.
Provodnikov-Algieri will happen on HBO's Boxing After Dark series. A press conference has been scheduled for noon in the GEICO Atrium in Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets. Top Rank is also a promoter of the card.
In his past two fights, Provodnikov (23-2, 19 knockouts) scored a 12th-round knockdown during a unanimous-decision loss to WBO welterweight titleholder Tim Bradley in THE RING's 2013 Fight of the Year, followed by a 10th-round stoppage over Mike Alvarado for his current belt. Algieri (19-0, 8 KOs) was last in the ring for a unanimous decision over Emmanuel Taylor in February.
The co-main event will feature British junior middleweight contender Brian Rose (25-1, 7 KOs) WBO titleholder Demetrius Andrade (20-0, 13 KOs), according to Pelullo.
Also in accordance with an earlier report by RingTV.com, the undercard will feature unbeaten light heavyweight Seanie Monagahan (21-0, 14 KOs) of Long Beach, N.Y., against an opponent to be determined.
Monaghan, 32, is coming off Saturday's fifth round knockout of Joe McCreedy, whom he dropped once in the third and twice in the final round of a bout that happened on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's unanimous decision over Tim Bradley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Also on the card is will be Brooklyn middleweight Simeon Hardy (11-0, 8 KOs) as well as female junior featherweight Heather Hardy (9-0, 2 KOs), who are 26, and, 32, respectively. Pelullo promotes Simeon Hardy, and DiBella, Heather Hardy. The two are not related, Pelullo said.

[Editor's Note: Fanny Zuniga is an Aerospace Engineer who recently headed a wind tunnel test in the 12' Pressure Wind Tunnel at Ames Research Center. She wrote several journals about the preparations and events for this test. See them online with pictures at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/aero/events/test.html ]
by Fanny Zuniga
March 25, 1988 Looking back now on my Supersonic Transport wind tunnel test, I have some final thoughts to share with you. I want to describe what we did after the test to wrap things up, what we learned, and why we ran this test. We spent the first few weeks after the test checking over all of the data that was stored on the computer. There are a bunch of corrections we make to the data, and we go through all the data to make sure the corrections were made properly. An example of this is correcting the airplane aerodynamic loads to remove the effect of the wind tunnel walls. Normally, air flows freely around an object, such as an airplane. In a wind tunnel, the walls block some of the flow that tries to go around the model which gives a slightly different effect than in free air. For this reason, we calculate the effect of the walls and adjust the measured forces so that they more accurately represent what would happen in free air. Now that we've checked all the data, we post it on the internet! We do this because there are researchers all over the country studying the data from this model. Sorry, you can't go look at this data because we don't want our results available to the whole world. Our data is sensitive and I cannot freely share our specific results with you and the general public. We are only allowed to share our data and knowledge with the other members of our High-Speed Research program. The members include NASA and several U.S. airplane and engine companies. This program is necessary because developing an airplane like this is a huge investment for any one company to undergo alone. The program members have agreed to protect the data so our U.S. companies will be given the competitive edge they need to build this supersonic airliner. This will also help ensure the U.S. aerospace industry remain competitive and prosperous in the world market. This will in return help the U.S. create jobs and boost our economy. We will study this data to learn as much about this model as possible and help us continue to improve our design and meet our project goals. A lot of what we learned is already being used in planning the next test with this model. One of the things we've learned from this test are which flaps on the wings give us the best performance at takeoff and landing conditions. Flaps are real important because they have a real impact on noise, fuel usage, and most importantly airplane weight. We also learned the effectiveness of the control surfaces (horizontal tail, rudder, and ailerons) to make sure this kind of aircraft can be flown safely. Basically, we will continue to test and study this airplane to convince ourselves that we can build one that is safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly. Hopefully, if we are successful in our endeavors, affordable supersonic travel and cargo delivery will be available early in the next century. Finally, since we are users of the wind tunnel, we spent some time giving feedback to the people that run the tunnel. For example, we recommended some important changes and additions to the data plotting program which would make it more useful for future research staff. We also spent some time telling the wind-tunnel managers what we thought worked well and what we thought needed some improvement. We are part of the process for improving wind tunnel tests in the future. If you want to improve something, you have to talk to the people that use it. I hope you have enjoyed learning about my wind tunnel test. As for me, I have already started getting ready for the next As for me, I have already started getting ready for the next test of this model. This model will be modified some now and will be tested again at NASA-Langley in their 14x22 ft. wind tunnel. We have to modify the model to keep up with the current design of this airplane and also to refurbish any parts that may be worn. There's never a dull moment when you're racing to complete the design of the next supersonic airplane.

How Are We to Keep the Sabbath in Today's Society?
from R.C. Sproul Jan 27, 2016 Category: ArticlesWithin the Christian church there are three leading options for answering your question. Some Christians believe that the Sabbath was an Old Testament ordinance and has no application to the New Testament church. No less a giant than Saint Augustine took the position that the Sabbath was not carried over into the New Testament community and therefore has been fulfilled and was done away with through the work of Christ. There are Christians who feel that there is no particular significance to Sabbath keeping today, although they make up a very small minority. Keep Reading

Matt Dillon, 39, makes his directorial debut and stars as an insurance scammer in City of Ghosts, the first western film shot in Cambodia since 1964.
ON CALLING THE SHOTS: "There were a few wars on the production. I'm a bit of a maniac on the set. Not in a bad way, but I can say this: It was not easy. I'm very passionate, and I'm a greedy filmmaker. And sometimes in that kind of heat you start to forget your perspective."
ON THE CAMBODIAN CUSTOM OF EATING INSECTS: "I'd just stay away. With some you've got to take the wings off. Others taste better with them on. I wouldn't know which are which. [Costar James] Caan and I pretty much stuck to pizza. Gérard Depardieu, he just stuck to the Imodium."
ON HIS RETURN HOME TO NEW YORK CITY: "I'm happy to say I didn't bring back malaria. But I did bring back memories of a great experience and the ricksha driven in the film. It's pretty big. I'll have to wait until I get my own kingdom to bring it out."

We know that you're too busy fighting off your biological urges and being l33t hax0rs to Get Involved, but politics is cool, m'kay?Nobody ever seems to do anything for The Kids! All the decisions are made by suits, man. That's so lame!!! We know you think of yourselves as responsible citizens, but what you wanna do is turn that thought into an action, dudes.
Get involved – to the extreme!
The BBC politics for kids/teens site is, like, totally wacked! Ditto for the Parliament education site. Fanta-stick!
YoungGov is totally the business for having your say, and there are even wicked Youth Parliament sites for the UK, Scotland and Europe.
(Hey, chill with the anti-Europe vibes already! You totally won't be able to wear the word 'fcuk' on your shirt anymore if we break our connection with France, y'dig? ROFFLE!)
So, cut it with the bling bling and do something for the community, man. Join in and take action with any of the groovy sites we've listed, or just drop Tom a line for a quiet rap by the electronic e-mail. Tom's well-up on the Interwebnet, and he won't harsh your buzz or dis you down the line.
WARNING: Getting involved in politics may cause premature ageing and a sudden loss of friends.
Before contacting about this page please scroll down and read this. Innit.
Welcome to my Teens page. If you've scrolled this far, you're probably still in a state of utter disbelief. Good for you. Hang onto that.
The Teens page was designed as a parody of how some politicians 'connect' to young people. Like William Hague in a baseball cap at the Notting Hill Carnival or Neil Kinnock in the Tracy Ullman video.
In recent months the section has gained a certain amount of notoriety. Below are a few quotes from the many hundreds of emails we received about it.
For those that found it funny, we're glad you enjoyed it. For those that didn't… Oh well, we did try to amuse.
Finally, for those that found the site through the teens section and have stuck around, we say thank you, we appreciate you getting involved – to the extreme of course 😉
Tom Watson
"Your teens section seems to be developing a bit of a cult following. Perhaps the title of The Minister of Hilarity awaits you in the cabinet? God knows, the government needs a laugh now more than ever."
Andrew Withey
"What in the hail? Why do you do this website? Is there a joke? Are you for serious? Please help to understand."
Dennis Kearney
"Your site had me ROFL – Keep up the good work man!"
Brett (over 30 and reads the Grauniad!)
"Please, oh god PLEASE tell me that teens.html is a hoax. If it is, well done! I can happily laugh my socks off. If it isn't – yikes. They're *young*, you know, not lobotomised.
"Still, I'm sure you were kidding. :)"
"If you'd like to send us a translation of the Teens page for those of us old f*rts who aren't cool enough to understand all of it? [Note for self: Must ask granddaughter for crash rap course.]"
Dick Robinson
"I have never read anything more patronising in my life. Whoever wrote that pile of nonsense on the site wants to actually speak to young people before they try to speak like them and turn themselves into a laughing stock. If you want to get the attention of young people then I suggest that you don't insult their intelligence. The only thing good that I can see from that site is that I am still laughing at your extremely poor attempt to make yourself look as though you can connect to young people.
"Oh and when you wrote 'ROFFLE' I am sure that you meant 'ROFL'??"
Burney 99
"I think any attempt to engage young people into a sense of involvement in their future and in the country they live in and how it is governed is commendable, even if the party you represent sold us all down the river a long, long, long, long, time ago."
Helen Czinege
"Sorry to be rude but please get a grip with your teens section. It's really quite patronising."
David Malkinson
"I'm not a Labour supporter but I think this form of direct communication should be lauded, especially given the ready use of the internet medium by those very young people that might otherwise discount politics as inaccessible. There's a lot more to it than just a blog I know, but hey, got to start somewhere."
John Atkins
"You are one sad little man."
David Tosh
"Here in the US we've had frighteningly low electoral turnouts by younger voters (which is probably one of the reasons Bush is in office ). We should all be sitting up and taking notice. You're doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work."
Jeff Olbertz, Denver, Colorado, USA
"Cracking site."
From an over 30 (Not guardian reader though!)
"The amount of apathy the general public have towards politics in this country should be a cause of concern for all politicians (although I suspect there are some who quite like the fact that no one cares what they are up to – and rather view it as none of our business!!), a little more openness and making relevant information easier to access should go some way towards solving this problem."
Zoe Foss
"Well at least you're not actually trying to 'reach out' to the youth of today with that complete load of bullshit. I guess in that sense it's actually kind of funny."
"Not being British I can not claim to know the response of British youth towards your teen website, but I have the feeling you are not going to garner too many votes if you treat them like imbeciles. Damn man, you site is condescending and patronizing. You will be lucky if all you do is turn them off to politics at worst they will vote your dumb ass out of office."
"Hi there Tom,
"I was looking through your teens page, very interesting! Great to see that you are taking an active interest in the young community of people in England, and the whole of the UK. Your page is very amusing – and I love your use of our young language style – dude 🙂 What more could I ask for? An excellent use of young people's language, amusing comments all over the page, and a great last line!
"A question – how do I vote for you? When I'm 18, that is!
"I wish you the best of luck."
"An American teenager would like to communicate that you, sir, r0x0r.
"I wish we had representatives of government with a sense of humor like yours. Maybe it has something to do with British humor."

"I'm looking forward to working closely with FSF president Richard Stallman and our board to advance the goals of the free software movement.

MIMS Degree Requirements
Course Work
The Master of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) program requires at least 48 semester units of study. The first year of the program consists mostly of a core curriculum; the second year involves further study in core areas along with additional electives, with the expectation that the student will specialize in particular aspects of information management and systems, as well as complete a final project requirement.
During the summer between the two years, students are strongly encouraged to participate in an internship program in order to use their newly acquired skills in real-world settings. Assistance in arranging internships will be provided whenever possible, but the ultimate responsibility of obtaining the internship will be that of the student. Past internships have been in corporate, academic, government and non-profit institutions.
First Year Required Courses
There are four required courses in the first year:
The remaining units for the first and second semesters are composed of electives.
Second Year, MIMS Program
The second year of the program will be devoted to electives both within the I School and in other units on campus. During the final semester of the second year students will, working in groups, undertake final projects. The interdisciplinary diversity of the I School program makes many kinds of projects suitable. Some projects involve the design of an information-intensive application and creation of a software artifact. Other projects include a significant research component, making a written report the most important artifact. In conjunction with the final project, students should also take a professional skills workshop during the final semester of the second year.
Summary of Course and Unit Requirements
All degree requirements must be taken on a letter grade basis.
Further courses to satisfy the 48 unit requirement may be chosen from the School's course catalog or from courses in other departments, with approval. Students may use 100- or 200-level courses towards the completion of their degree. A maximum of 10 units from other departments will be accepted as counting toward the MIMS degree. Courses from other departments must be upper division or graduate courses numbered in the 100-299 range and must be approved by an I School faculty advisor before credit will be accepted toward the degree. A maximum of 4 units of Individual Study (Info 299) will count toward the degree and a maximum of 2 units of Field Study (297) will count toward the degree.
Work toward the degree must be completed with a grade point average of at least B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale). Students may elect to take courses on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis up to a limit of one third (i.e., 16 units) of the total units applied toward the degree.
Length of the MIMS Program
The MIMS program is considered a full-time program. Students are expected to enroll in 12 units of graduate work each semester and complete the program within the two-year time frame. Students are required to be registered for four consecutive semesters.

I recently made my first purchase from Go-Part.com. It was for the passenger side remote mirror on my daughter's 2006 Nissan Xterra. I selected regular ground shipping. I am very happy with my order, their customer service, their price, and the speed with which they processed my order. I had mistakenly ordered the mirror for a Pathfinder. When I realized my error two days later, I emailed customer service who promptly replied (a very good sign of a reliable company!) and confirmed that I was lucky - the Xterra and Pathfinder use the same mirror. Anyways, the mirror was perfect and my daughter was very happy to have her dad save her the repair cost. I highly recommend this company!by Kennebunk Larr..

Literally my new favourite t-shirt! Literally! I had no idea what the package was when I received the tee from 'We Are The Recipe!', it arrived in an adorable pizza-esque box with a napkin and a postcard. This makes these tees absolutely ideal for gift giving.
Their website is awesome and simple to navigate, there isn't a massive amount of selection of designs on the website currently and I would definitely say that Panda Milk (the tee I am wearing) and I'm So Chill are the high points of the site although the other designs are awesome too! They are simple but effective and sure to have people oggling and smiling at your belly! Which some people will love and some will find creepy.
These are all guy fit tees which is normally something I complain about until the cows come home, however for some reason with this tee it doesn't bother me at all. This tee is comfy, excellent quality, design placement works perfectly and although it's not girly fit I think it looks amazing even on us half of the population with boobies. The material is so comfy, not rigid and stiff like some new tees I have received.
We Are The Recipe! also have a special off at the moment where you can get 2 of their glorious tees for £24 with code : 2For24, this is a fab chance to take advantage of the amazing tees at an excellent price.
I wasn't lying when I said this is my new favourite tee, I wore it for 2 days and I was reluctant to take it off! Drop by their website or Facebook or Twitter and check them out, I'm confident that you won't be disappointed.

December 26, 2012Posted Thursday, December 27, 2012, at 11:00 AM
Five, four, three, two, one... Happy New Year! Each December 31st, we gather with friends and family to usher in the new year - but how did these traditions begin?
The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all modern holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4,000 years ago. In the years around 2,000 BC, Babylonians celebrated the beginning of a new year on what is now March 23rd, although they had no written calendar. March is actually a good time to celebrate a new year because spring begins and new crops are planted. The Romans' calendar was tampered with by so many emperors that it became out of sync with the sun. In 153 BC the Roman senate declared January 1st to be the beginning of the new year.
Traditions of this holiday usually include making a New Year's resolution, which dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern resolutions include getting in shape or quitting a bad habit. The early Babylonians' most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.
If you're celebrating New Year's Eve this year and find a lull in the conversation, impress your family and friends with this New Year's trivia.
The Time Square New Year's Eve Ball came about as a result of a ban on fireworks. The first ball, in 1907, was an illuminated 700-pound iron and wood ball adorned with one hundred 25-watt light bulbs. Today, the round ball designed by Waterford Crystal, weighs 11,875-pounds, is 12 feet in diameter and is bedazzled with 2,668 Waterford crystals.
Due to wartime restrictions, the New Year's Eve ball was not lowered in 1942 and 1943.
Throughout the year, visitors to Times Square in New York City write their New Year's wishes on pieces of official Times Square New Year's Eve confetti. At the end of the year, the wishes are collected and added to the one ton of confetti that showers the crowd gathered in Times Square in celebration of the New Year.
The top three destinations in the United States to ring in the New Year are Las Vegas, Disney World and New York City.
Food plays a big role in New Year's traditions. Eating black-eyed peas, ham or cabbage are thought to bring prosperity.
According to this survey, 40 to 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. The top New Year's resolutions include weight loss, exercise, quitting smoking and better money management
While the history and trivia surrounding New Years is fun, the beginning of a new year is a good time to improve our attitudes and our behavior. One of the best resolutions we can make is a resolve to keep the commandments, for that is the sure way to happiness.
It is my hope that the coming year blesses your family and brings along memories to cherish for a lifetime.
As always, it is an honor to serve you in the Missouri House. If you would like to discuss any issue, please call 573-751-3629. You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

See this contribution to the debate over Limmud from former Bnei Akiva shaliach to the UK, Rabbi Benjamin Lau of Israel.
And then, pro-Limmud see Rabbi Natan Levy or anti-Limmud, Jonathan Rosenblum.
The controversy continued to rumble more locally this week. At Edgware Adath Yisroel synagogue, an affiliate of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, Rabbi Zvi Lieberman sent an email to his members, with a copy of last week's attack on Limmud by Rabbi Alan Kimche for promoting an "aberration" of Judaism. Rabbi Lieberman said he shared Rabbi Kimche's views about "about Limmud and similar heterodox institutions and the inherent falsification of Judaism which they present".
Shortly afterwards, EAY congregants received a fresh email, this time from the council of management saying that the rabbi's email had been sent without their knowledge or approval and had not been intended to reflect the council's views.
And then came a third email, signed jointly by Rabbi Lieberman and the council of management, which said that recent emails "should not be misconstrued", that both council and rabbi remained "committed in mutual respect and support to consult and work together" and apologising "for any confusion caused".
So peace and goodwill returns to Edgware, although whether there is an agreed policy on Limmud, I can't tell you.
