The New York Rangers (24-15-3) defeated the Dallas Stars (24-13-5) by the score of 3-2 in a shootout, tonight. For a recap and box score go to Yahoo! Sports and newyorkrangers.com.
…now that is a statement win on the road against one of the best teams in the league. Really an exciting time to be a Rangers fan.
…how many of you ordered a MZA jersey after that shootout move? Nasty.
…Sather gets a lot of crap but you've got to give him credit for bringing Fedotenko in this offseason. He's been awesome and if the Rangers are lucky enough to make the playoffs will really show us his worth.
…McD looked real nervous out there tonight. Got caught behind the net on the first goal, but that was more Hank's fault for missing the puck. Great experience for the kid against a tough Dallas team.
…Lundqvist (two straight games with an assist) is now on pace to have more points this season than Frolov. Oh yeah, he was pretty good in net too.
…how good were the Rangers defensemen tonight? From Staal to Sauer they played an outstanding game limiting Richards and Eriksson to just an assist. Both Staal and Girardi 30+ minutes.
…Anisimov has officially put his slump of last month behind him.
…might be time to send Gaborik down to the Whale to gain some confidence? 😉
…was expecting Avery to have more of an impact tonight. Getting only 11 minutes may have been the reason.
…another shorty as the Rangers now lead the league with nine. Can't stress how much momentum those can bring a team.
…despite all the great vibes, another horrendous night in the face-off circle (21-for-57).
…lots of mixing and matching tonight by Torts. Wonder how the players feel about that.
…Torts using Drury the way Team USA did in Olympics last year. Less ice time, but important pk minutes. Seems to be working with a +1 tonight.
…more penalty minutes (5) than ice time (2:53) for Weise tonight.
…Rangers right back at it tomorrow night in St. Louis. Oh Baby!!!

Supreme Court dismisses case against political ad disclosure rules
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday decided unanimously to dismiss a case challenging new state rules requiring groups running ads attacking or praising candidates before an election to disclose where they get their money.
The court also withdrew its temporary injunction blocking the enforcement of the rules. But the future of the rules remains to be determined because they are also being challenged in two federal lawsuits.
State officials have already agreed not to enforce the most controversial parts of the rules as part of one of those other suits.
The case decided Monday came directly to the Supreme Court in 2010 when tea party groups and other conservatives asked the justices to review them. Some of the same justices who agreed to take the case directly then — Annette Ziegler, Patience Roggensack, and Michael Gableman — have now determined that jurisdiction was "improvidently granted," but without explanation.
Three other justices — Ann Walsh Bradley, N. Patrick Crooks and Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson — decided the Government Accountability Board had authority to establish the new rules, and that the rules are not facially invalid. But each three-judge group agreed the result is dismissal.
Justice David Prosser, who was among the four who agreed to take the case directly in 2010, withdrew from participating in the case last year because a lawyer representing the plaintiffs, Jim Troupis, led the recount for Prosser's campaign after he narrowly won re-election. His departure from the case left the court evenly split, and he did not participate in Monday's per curiam decision.
In a concurring opinion, Abrahamson wrote, "This vote for dismissal is very surprising given that in the order granting the temporary injunction, the justices determined that the petitioners had met their burden to show, among other matters, 'a likelihood of success on the merits.'
"Because the three justices do not explain their vote for dismissal, we are left to wonder why they now fail to address the merits of the petition."
The case was brought by Americans for Prosperity; the Wisconsin Prosperity Network; the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy; the Northwoods Patriots Group; the Sheboygan Liberty Coalition; the Concerned Citizens of Iowa County; and the Rev. David King, who runs a Milwaukee ministry.
The court heard oral arguments on the matter in September.
The two other cases are in federal court. In one case in Madison, the accountability board agreed not to enforce some of the rules, and it is in the process of rewriting them.
The other case, brought by Wisconsin Right to Life, is pending in federal court in Milwaukee.

Shelter in the Heart
At a Utah School for Homeless Kids, Stacey Bess Adds TLC to the Three Rs
Only later, after her operation succeeded, did Bess learn that Dana had once been locked for days in a dark basement without food or water—and that when the sheriff rescued her, she had been clutching the same dirty bear she would part with for her favorite teacher to "help the hurt go away."
"These are not your typical kids," says Bess, 31. Nor is Bess your typical teacher. For nearly six years she has been the principal instructor at the School with No Name in Salt Lake City, one of about a dozen schools in the U.S. specifically for the homeless.
Founded in 1984, the school is attached to Salt Lake City's family shelter in a seedy part of town. Derelicts stroll nearby; the occasional drug deal takes place on the corner. But for homeless kids who have the option of being bused to the regular public schools, the kindergarten-through-sixth-grade School with No Name is a haven. "I have one boy in my class who has only one set of clothes," says Bess. "Can you imagine him wearing them to a public school every day? Here he knows he will be accepted, no matter what."
Bess has captured dozens of poignant vignettes like this one in her new book, Nobody Don't Love Nobody: Lessons on Love from the School with No Name (Gold Leaf Press). She tells about such kids as the 12-year-old boy forced to run drugs by his parents, the withdrawn 5-year-old boy reared in a satanic cult, and the girl who dreamed of becoming an actress but instead became pregnant at 16.
What Bess offers the 400 children who pass through her school each year is nurturing and a safe harbor amid the chaos of their lives. Arithmetic, for instance, is sweetened by adding and subtracting M & Ms. For completing homework assignments, she gives "positive points," which the kids can trade for toys, cassette tapes, curling irons. And if they get tired, they can crash on the pillow bed in the corner. Explains Bess: "It's hard to teach a child who was up all night in a tiny room because his mom and dad were fighting."
She also has them keep journals. "Dear Diary," one boy writes, "today we had show and tell. I didn't have anything to show. We put our dog to sleep. I thought we were supposed to learn our phone number here. Do we have one? I like it here. We learned about shapes and colors. Dad'll be proud. Can we call him at the prison tonight?"
Bess herself learned the power of compassion from her mother, Susan, a former secretary in a Salt Lake City juvenile detention center who would occasionally bring kids home in emergencies (her stepfather, Roger Coon, is a self-employed fund-raiser). "Sometimes she would tuck a child into bed with me late at night," says Bess.
Still, as a 1987 graduate of the University of Utah, Bess had expected to teach in an ordinary classroom "with neat rows of desks and a flag in the corner." She was stunned when she was detailed to the School with No Name, which then was housed in a corrugated metal shed. "My first week I cried every night," says Bess. But she couldn't bring herself to quit. "I stayed because I realized I was giving these kids their childhood. In their sad little lives, it was so rare to just be a kid. I fell in love with those kids. I couldn't let go."
Yet two years ago, Bess, who has been married since 1980 to real estate appraiser Gregory Bess, 32, almost did let go, after giving birth to her third child, McKenzie (her others are Nichole, 13, and Brandon, 9). "I felt it was time to be a mother," she says. Once again, though, she couldn't get the students out of her mind, so she brought McKenzie to school with her. "I strapped her to my chest," says Bess, "and the kids looked on with awe. There was a real peace to the room."
Stacey Bess's kids do not soon forget her. A few weeks ago, Matthew McLane, 12—who had been to the School with No Name four years earlier—stopped by with Frank, his father. On the way out, Frank let on that he was unemployed and living in a tent while waiting for room in the shelter. Bess stayed up all night agonizing over what to do—she couldn't bear the thought of Matthew in a leaky tent. She was about to leave on a tour to promote her book. So she got her husband's parents to take the boy in.
Says Matthew, who enjoyed his respite with Bess's in-laws: "Our school doesn't have a name. But my dad has one for Stacey. Angel."

It is where he won a NASCAR Whelen All-American Racing Series national championship in 2004. It was one of the most dominating seasons at Irwindale. He won 13 of 18 races that year, including five in a row and nine out of 10 at one point, in the NASCAR Super Late Model division.
Irwindale is also the site of his only win in the now-defunct NASCAR Southwest Series.
But the track has provided its share of rougher moments for Pursley. In his last visit to the track, he crashed in qualifying for the Toyota All-Star Showdown in January and didn't even start the race.
The NASCAR West Series makes its only visit to Irwindale for the King Taco 200 on Saturday, and Pursley will be back as one of the favorites to win the race. But Pursley doesn't consider himself a favorite, despite his success at the track in Super Late Models.
"All the racing that I've done there obviously has been in Super Late Models and Southwest Tour cars," said Pursley, who is driving for Gene Price Motorsports. "It's a huge difference, driving a Cup car, basically. It's a lot heavier car. You got to be a lot more patient with them. It's just a totally different driving style. That's what I'm trying to get used to right now."
For a driver who claims to still be learning how to race his cars, Pursley has done surprisingly well. He won the first West Series race of the season at Thunderhill Raceway in Kyle, Texas, and has been a top-10 driver for most of the year.
"The win at Texas was totally unexpected. I did not expect to come out of the box and win the race," said Pursley, who is fifth in the West Series standings.
No doubt the first West Series race was the highlight of his season.
The most recent race, two weeks ago at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, might be the lowlight.
Pursley ended up with a 20th-place finish, his worst of the year, but he said the result was not indicative of his team's performance. After running in the top five for most of the race, Pursley was collected in a crash with six laps to go.
"We were running in the top five the whole race all laps," Pursley said. "We were set up for the end and that happened. Unfortunately that's racing. Luck plays a big part in racing. Obviously we didn't have any luck there. I can't say we didn't run good at Sonoma. Our finish does not do it justice."
Pursley's season in the West Series has seen its ups and downs. He has not been able to duplicate his performance in Texas, but he has been one of the top drivers all year. Eric Holmes and Jason Bowles, West Series veterans, have posted victories and are 1-2 in the West Series standings. Bowles won the Fourth of July race at Irwindale last year. Those are the drivers Pursley said will be the ones to beat on Saturday night.
Pursley has only been in one race in his West Series car for Gene Price Motorsports at Irwindale. That came last year in August, just after he bought three cars from Richard Childress Racing. Two of them were NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars driven by Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton. He said he didn't have a lot of time to prepare his car for the race and it resulted in a poor finish.
He took the same car to Irwindale for the Showdown in January, but never got to race, wrecking in qualifying. He will be bringing the same car to the track again. It is a car he said he bought specifically for Irwindale. He hasn't raced it anywhere else.
"I like it a lot. It's kind of the car that I've saved for Irwindale," Pursley said. "Hopefully it will do us justice."

THE DARK ROAD. By Ma Jian. Translated from the Chinese by Flora Drew. Penguin Press. 375 pages. $27.
Ma Jian's work has been garnering attention since his 1987 publication "Stick Out Your Tongue" prompted the Chinese government to ban his future works.
Since that time, the exiled dissident has continued to offer unflinching criticism of Chinese politics, earning him a reputation as a confrontational and defiant author.
His newest novel, "The Dark Road," was written after Ma Jian's mission to rural China to gather information on how the government's one-child policy is enforced. The novel follows one family who loses everything in an attempt to gain the most basic of human rights.
Meili is a pregnant peasant woman, wife of Kongzi, the village schoolteacher, and mother of three-year-old daughter Nannan.
Though their poverty-stricken rural village is far from the bright lights of Shanghai and Beijing, the couple cannot escape the country's strict one-child policy.
In the opening pages of the novel, there is hope that the family can hide the pregnancy and continue to lead their quiet lives in peace. One night, however, Family Planning Officers raid their village, tasked with enforcing the one-child policy by any means.
The town quickly turns into chaos as women are captured and undergo forced sterilizations and abortions in some graphically rendered scenes that show that "the Communist Party has no humanity. For them, killing a baby is no different than swatting a fly."
In an attempt to save their growing family, the couple makes the decision to set out on a voyage down the Yangtze River.
What follows is uncomfortable to read. The family joins the leagues of others living as refugees in their own country as they dodge the government's Family Planning agents. These are places where "an oily film of pollution hovers on the river's surface. Along the bank, the willow's branches bend under the weight of litter while their tips struggle upwards towards the sun." The water is dark red and "smells of dung and rotten fish." The ducks feed on chemical waste and "taste of sulfur, and their stomachs are filled with plastic screws and nylon string."
It is tough to endure the continual misfortunes that befall the family, especially Meili who is victimized by everyone, including her husband and her government.
Meili once believed, "that the government protects and cares for the people, and that husbands protect and care for their wives. ... She discovered that women don't own their bodies: their wombs and genitals are battle zones over which their husbands and the state fight for control — territories their husbands invade for sexual gratification and to produce male heirs, and which the state probes, monitors, guards and scrapes so as to assert its power and spread fear. ... All she is certain of is that she is a legal wife and an illegal mother."
The novel, though thoroughly contemporary in its moral dilemmas and setting, becomes a mythic quest for more than the successful birth of a child.
One character notes of Meili, "You're like the heroine of a Victorian novel, rebelling against oppressive convention in the pursuit of happiness. Yes, you have that air of stubborn defiance."
The author's previous novels are more steeped in magical realism, but traces still exist in the use of classic symbols and in the occasional narration of Meili's "infant spirit." The translation is taut and somewhat dry, though it fittingly mirrors the emotional apathy of the characters.
"The Dark Road" is truly one of the bleakest novels in contemporary literature, but it is a fascinating glimpse into a government and moral landscape that seems otherworldly. Ma Jian continues to prove that his gaze and his pen are unflinching.
Reviewer Summer Mauldin is an editor and writer in Charleston.

The rapper French Montana and his entourage left Philadelphia on Friday afternoon after a day spent answering questions from detectives about a late-night shootout that erupted near Montana's tour bus, leaving one man dead and another injured.
After Montana's sold-out show Thursday night at South Street's Theater of Living Arts, the rapper's bus was parked near the Holiday Inn Express on Columbus Boulevard around midnight, surrounded by hundreds of friends and fans, when a car with tinted windows drove up and shots were fired from a rolled-down passenger-side window. At least two people in the crowd pulled guns and fired back, said Philadelphia Police Capt. James Clark.

This training covers challenges to food marketing claims in FDA and FTC enforcement actions, consumer class action lawsuits, and proceedings brought by the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus (NAD). It will discuss how to assess risk when considering claims, strategies for defending actions, and marketing trends in the food industry.
Product ID: 702393
Why Should You Attend:
The increasing use of marketing claims to promote health-related benefits of food, and product attributes such as "natural," has resulted in more regulatory challenges as well as a flood of class action lawsuits brought by private plaintiffs under state consumer protection laws.
This webinar will help you evaluate the likelihood of challenges to marketing claims by providing you an understanding of the enforcement positions taken by the regulatory agencies, the legal theories relied upon by private plaintiffs, the standards underlying NAD decisions, and the relationship between regulatory and litigation risks. Effective risk management requires careful review of proposed marketing claims at the outset, which may include wording, placement, context, scientific substantiation and production steps. Defending class action lawsuits can have serious financial implications for food companies even if the case does not appear to be meritorious. This session will cover litigation strategies that involve an early evaluation of both procedural and substantive issues, with an initial focus on seeking to defeat class certification.

Kyle Busch wins crash-marred Bud Shootout at Daytona
BREAKING NEWS / NSBNews.net is the 24/7 Internet newspaper in New Smyrna Beach covering Volusia County and beyond
The videos show two major wrecks during Saturday's running of the Budweiser Shootout at Daytona Internationasl Speedway, the second one highlighting the crash that took out fan-favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images / for NASCAR / Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M's Brown Toyota, edges out Tony Stewart, driver of the No. 14 Office Depot/Mobil 1 Chevrolet, to win the NASCAR Budweiser Shootout at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday in Daytona Beach.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Kyle Busch won a crash-marred Budweiser Shootout tonight on the highbanks of Daytona Beach International Speedway with a final lap push past secondplace fisher Tony Stewart..
Busch came all the way from the final starting grid in a back-up car after a wreck in practice Friday, managing to avoid two big crashes in the shootout to claim his first victory in this non-points race under the lights. Busch beat Stewart to the checkered flag by .013 of a second, the closest finish ever in the shootout.
Marcos Ambrose finished third, followed by Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin in rounding out the top 5.
With NASCAR modifying rules changes from last season's boring two-car tendems, drivers went back to racing in packs and with restrictor plate racing on super stretches like that of Daytona, that meant the "big one" could come at any time.
"I had fun racing at Daytona again, which I haven't had for a while," Stewart said, having managed to avoid the wrecks. "This is better than having to sit there and stare at the back of a spoiler for 500 miles."
In this race, merely eight laps had gotten under way when the first big wreck occurred, with David Ragan's Ford turning Paul Menard's Chevy. That resulted in a chain reaction that collected Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Juan Pablo Montoya, Michael Waltrip, Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was out in front of the wreck, having just regained the lead. Earnhardt, the clear-cut favorite among the fans in the stands, led the first three laps.

Earnhardt's night would end on lap 55 with a chain-reaction wreck that started with contact between the cars of polesitter Martin Truex Jr., Ambrose and Joey Logano clobbered those three vehicles and eliminated Earnhardt, Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth.
Gordon managed to stay in the race, but his world would turn upside down, literally on lap 75 when another big wreck sent his car rolling in Turn 4 and sliding on the roof near the entrace to pit road.
Gordon was following Kyle Busch on the backstretch, and contact between the cars turned Busch's Toyota onto the apron. Busch made a dramatic save for the second time in the race, but Gordon slid up the track into the Chevrolets of Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray. As all three cars contacted the outside wall, Jimmie Johnson's Chevrolet nosed beneath the right rear bumper of Gordon's car and turned it upside down.
The wreck left 11 cars on the lead lap and sent the race to overtime.
"With Gordon behind me, I don't know what the deal was there -- I'd like to talk to him about it," Busch said.
"When we came off (Turn) 2, he had me sideways, and then all the way down the backstretch, I was still sideways -- left, right, left, right, everywhere -- then we were off into 3 and he turned me sideways again. He was on the left side of my bumper instead of the right."
The first of the close calls for Busch, on Lap 48, strung the field out, leaving a 10-car pack fighting for the lead. Busch's Toyota twice turned sideways off the bumper of Johnson, and twice Busch saved the car from calamity despite running onto the apron in Turn 2.

Noel "Paul" Stookey, the singer-songwriter who once made up one third of the '60s folk band Peter, Paul and Mary, said that to know more about Woody Guthrie is to know more about ourselves.
Though the days of the Dust Bowl era and the Great Depression are long gone, Guthrie's most famous ballads like "This Land is Your Land" are still well-known songs.
Stookey said Woody's songwriting reminds modern men and women that even the common man is capable of doing great things, and making big changes.
Article Photos
Singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie performs in this courtesy photo. Penn State is holding a conference next week on Guthrie, who would have been 100 this year.
"Issues were more clearly defined in the early '60s, but music continues to inform and inspire," Stookey said. "Whether it's done through one guy with a guitar or hip-hop, it is no less impactful. ... People do really care about the circumstances in which they live and other people live, and are willing to do something through their art and music."
Guthrie's legacy and the continuing tradition of enacting social change through music will be celebrated Altoona and State College this weekend as Penn State hosts "Woody at 100: Woody's Legacy to Working Men and Women." Including a day-long conference Saturday and various exhibits, activities and performances, "Woody at 100" is just one of the many conferences taking place across the nation this year to commemorate what would have been Guthrie's 100th birthday if he had lived.
Presenters and performers like Stookey will converge on the local area to put on an array of programs throughout the weekend.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Woody@100: Woody's Legacy to Working Men and Women"
When: Sept. 6 through Sept. 8
Where: Penn State Altoona and University Park Campuses
Details: For a full list of events and pricing, visit http://www.altoona.psu.edu/ guthriecentennial/events.htm.
Jerry Zolten, an associate professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State Altoona and the conference facilitator, said the number of artists and supporters willing to come out to the event paints a clear picture of how important Guthrie was, and the scope of his influence even for modern artists.
"Woody is an extremely important figure in American culture, probably a lot more than most people realize," Zolten said. "He stood for the little guy and for working class people. ... If it weren't for Woody, I'd go so far as to say there wouldn't have been a Bob Dylan, there wouldn't have been the Beatles, there wouldn't have been a whole genre of music that spoke to social injustice and the plight of people."
The centerpiece of the celebration is Saturday's conference, Zolten said, and it will feature various presentations from authors, music writers and scholars speaking on a wide range of subjects. There will also be various events in State College, including a film series and concert on Friday at the State Theatre and an exhibit of Guthrie's belongings in the on-campus Borland Gallery.
Nora Guthrie, the daughter of Woody Guthrie, will give a keynote address at the conference. Zolten said she has been an essential player in making the conference happen.
"Part of her goal is to reach out to the youngest generation, kids in school who know songs like 'This Land is Your Land' but may not know who Woody is," Zolten added. "This is a way to reach out in the community and introduce them to his musical legacy."
A family-friendly and free-to-the-public form of entertainment will take place at Penn State Altoona's Misciagna Family Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. Friday when The Vanaver Caravan comes to town. Giving their performance titled "Pastures of Plenty: A Tribute to Woody Guthrie in Music and Dance," an intimate cast from the Caravan will demonstrate a variety of traditional dance styles set to Guthrie's music.
Bill Vanaver, who founded the company with his wife, Livia Vanaver, in 1972 and arranges the music, said he rearranged some of the folk legend's tunes to match the dance styles, giving them hints of everything from bluegrass and rock to mariachi and swing.
And with Guthrie having met his second wife, Marjorie, a dancer for the Martha Graham Company, while he was providing the music for one of her rehearsals, Vanaver said he and the Caravan enjoys being able to further practice how Guthrie's music became entwined with dance.
"We have come to feel we're continuing that tradition," he said.
In that same spirit, Stookey and his daughter, Liz Stookey Sunde, will help support the tradition of socially-conscious songwriting by holding an open master class and competition for area musicians starting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Foster Auditorium at Penn State University Park.
"Thursday night is going to be like 'American Idol' meets social change music," Liz Stookey Sunde said. "It's not like we're going to have chairs that turn around ... but it will be a very unplugged opportunity to witness what it means to be making a song with consciousness."
Hosting the contest is just one of the many initiatives the father-and-daughter team sponsor through their nonprofit group Music2Life, which aims to promote all genres of music for social change through various virtual, educations and live performance platforms. Stookey Sunde said learning more about Guthrie through the celebration of his centennial has made her feel like Music2Life's goal is "clearly standing on his shoulders."
"I knew when we started he was this great social change musician," she said. "But the more I heard his music and heard scholars talk about him, I was like 'Oh my gosh, this fuels what we're doing' ...Woody embodies so much of our country's history, good and bad. He's a historical figure that's worthy getting to know."

Hello and welcome to today's Aerospace Team Online chat with Mark Kilkenny
from NASA John Glenn Research Center. Over the past 16 years, Mark has
worked in administrative positions for NASA. His current work focuses
on John Glenn Research Center's administrative and business operations.
He is responsible for conducting strategic planning for the center. He
also helps the center determine how well it is progressing towards its
long-term goals and objectives.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost
- 15 - 10:23:18 ]
And now, here is Mark Kilkenny to answer your questions.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost
- 17 - 10:26:38 ]
Gene, have you participated in any of our other chats before?
[ Oran/NASAChatHost
- 21 - 10:34:06 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] Not recently.
My interset with these chats was because I have aquired enough knowledge
and experiance to hypothesis a invention that might help future missons
both ground and space.
Gene, that sounds very interesting. Here is some information from the
NASA home page: If you have suggestions, did you know that there's a place
at NASA prepared to "hear" your ideas? NASA encourages the submission
of unsolicited proposals to receive unique and innovative research aligned
with the agency's mission. Proposals may be submitted to: NASA Headquarters;
Mail Code CO; 300 E St. SW; Washington DC, 20546
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC
- 18 - 10:27:17 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] Hi Mark I have
a degree in management. My field is very closely tied with the typt of
work your involved with. I have science interest very much simular to
your experience. What are the long term objectives of NASA and projects
are you personality involved with currently?
Hi Gene- NASA's long-term objectives are to: Determine how the galaxy
evolved the future of earth Determine if life exists elsewhere in the
universe Understand how man can live in space Improve aircraft and air
travel on earth Develop and transfer aerospace technologies to benefit
mankind I personally help the Glenn Research Center determine what types
of work it should do to help achieve those objectives (i.e., strategic
planning). I also do a lot of other analytical work.
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC
- 20 - 10:33:18 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] I 've read
some about space traffic accidents, the last accident I recall was about
the collusions with a obiting outerspace station. Does NASA have problems
on the ground that is detremental effect on shuttle and station missions?
Gene- I don't fully understand your question. All NASA spacecraft (including
the Space Station) are carefully designed to minimize the effect of an
impact with extra-terrestrial objects-- but this is a very unknown area--
we have only the Russian experience with MIR to go on. They have had very
few impacts. With regards to man-made orbiting debris, the Air Force tracks
all the bigger pieces so that there won't be any unpleasant surprises.
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC
- 24 - 10:41:50 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] Q: How's your
record of efficent use of resoures for the NASA program? Does NASA use
more than what they despose of for waste? Q:What current theories exsist
right now about how the galaxy evolved?
NASA's earliest missions were very wasteful-- rockets burned up, landing
craft left on the moon, etc. The Space Shuttle is partially reusable-
the solid rocket boosters, and the Shuttle itself. Only the very thin-walled
fuel tank is expended. Of course, all deep-space missions never return.
So, overally, we still put up much more junk than we bring back. However,
you should note that all feces, exhaust gases, etc. which we send up on
the Shuttle or to MIR are return. (How'd you like to ride back with six
months of astronaut feces in little zip-lock bags!) As to current theories
about the universe, I think a recent issue of Scientific American on-line
covers it.
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC

RE: [Oran/NASAChatHost] Gene here is some information from
the NASA home page: If you have suggestions, did you know that there's

of unsolicited proposals to receive unique and innovative research aligned
with the agency's mission. Proposals may be submitted to: NASA Headquarters
Mail Code CO 300 E St. SW Washington DC 20546
Gene- Before you submit an unsolicited proposal, it is imperative that
you discuss it with subject matter experts within NASA and other organizations
with similar expertise. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time developing
an idea that has already been thoroughly investigated or tried before.
In my 25 years receiving and forwarding to evaluators unsolicited proposals
which were sent to NASA "blind", I have never seen any one of them accepted.
Just like sending resumes, it is better to talk to/meet with someone in
the organization first.
[ Oran/NASAChatHost
- 29 - 10:55:47 ]
Gene, as a reminder, at the conclusion of today's chat, please share your
thoughts with us at http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/qchats/qchat-surveys.
We hope to hear from you!
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC
- 30 - 10:56:30 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] Thank you Mark,
your information would really help! Soon I hope to have both my hypothesis
ready to submit for concideration as a entire paper of how some related
current theories might be well applied. Q: what sort of priorities is
given to John Glenn about his research into space travel for geriatrics(sic)?
Space travel for old people is not a NASA priority. However, NASA wants
to use its data from Glenn and other astronauts for purposes on earth--
to discover how to prevent osteoporosis and other diseases normally associated
with old age (but which can be accelerated in a microgravity environment).
In fact, if you've read the paper recently, NASA is thinking about sending
up an all-female crew to study this issue in more depth.
[ MarkKilkenny/JGRC
- 38 - 11:19:22 ]
RE: [Gene-Mr.Caruso/Hypothesis] So far my ideas
were submited to UC Davis Medical School, and was responded to without
comment by Dr. Ken Curry, a second Hypothesis was submitted to Arco Corporation
and they never sent a response or comment. I semm to recall sending a
letter online to NASA, i received a thank you without comment. I hope
to contribute to technologies developing the materials used for space
travel construction. Additionally I have an idea about new processes to
use for manufacturing medicine. Perhaps a way to cure certain decease
or just inprove on the processes for ingestible substances. I havn't seen
anything that says anybody else has taken my approach to material technology.
So I know my ideas have some new innovation, though i probably counldn't
have gone this far without NASA's contributions to keeping the interest
of space exploration priorities for every american.
Gene- You appear to be on the right track. Maybe if you surf the web you
can find someone who might be receptive to your ideas. For medical research,
locally our Cleveland Clinic does a lot. Of course, the main organization
doing space medicine is the Lovelace Clinic.

Wednesday, 20 February 2013
Over slow time, in the advanced countries of Western Europe, there developed a system whereby the members of those societies made provisions for everyone, to make sure that a minimum standard of living could be shared. When Bismarck first proposed what is, in effect, Social Security, it was adopted now by this country, and now by that. In the United States, when Social Security came in, in the 1930s, it was opposed by some as a step toward Bolshevism. Other things, too, were provided: free and universal education, up to a point (that point, that age, varied over time and space). Universal medical care and housing, too, came in time. But these were all predicated on the idea that the better-off members of a society should make provision for the less better-off, or even the not-at-all-well-off, members of that same society, people who shared the same language, cultural, identity, historical memory. They were part of a national family. That made sense.
What does not make sense, however, is that having constructed this expensive system of what some call entitlements, others a Welfare State, the taxpayers in those countries, having agreed to such an institutional framework for those in that national "family" who they felt should be guaranteed such aid, find that more and more, expensive and hostile outsiders, who in some cases hardly know the local language, and who -- for reasons of deep faith -- cannot possibly share in the historical identity of the non-Muslim lands within which they have, through ignorance, negligence, and in some cases, ideological blindness, been allowed to settle. Indeed, they are not even merely neutral in their attitude, but actively hostile to the laws and customs, the ways and claims, of the non-Muslims among whom they live. The fact that not all break the law, that some disinegenuously claim that it is enough that they are "law-abiding" (some are, many are not), when it is clear from Muslim clerics that until Muslims become stronger, they must temporarily accommodate the non-Muslims among whom they live, but only to the point that they feel compelled to, and when they gain in numbers and gather strength, they are of course counselled not to live by man-made, or still worse Infidel-man-made, laws.
The cost of Muslims begins with the cost of security against Muslim terrorism - the more Muslims, the more security that is needed -- for churches, synagogues, Hindu and Buddhist and Sikh temples. For Christian and Jewish schools. For bus stations, and metro stations and railroad stations, and airports. On busses, on tthe Underground, on trains, at airports. For bridges, and for major highways. For important symbols of such as buildings in Washington and London, in Paris and in Rome and in every other Western capital. For national symbols, such as the Statue of Liberty. For the cost of monitroing mosques -- no doubt many Muslims, by the thousands or tens of thousands, are now on the permanent government payroll to monitor the mosques and other meeting-places of other Muslims -- quite a jobs programs. For the cost of the amazingly high crime rate, especially such crimes as rape, which Muslims are charged and conviced with at rates some ten times that for non-Muslims. In some countries, as in Scandinavia, 70% of the imprisoned rapists are Musilm, though they may make up 2-5% of the populatiion.
Then there is the cost of trying to "integrate" them which, for some reason, just doesn't work. The cost of teaching the locla language. The cost of special classes, of every kind, in schools. The disruptiion, in the regular schools, of the classroom, sometimes by Muslims who are threatening to non-Muslim students (see France, see Germany, and the testimony of teachers and students alike), sometimes because they threaten or even attack teachers who say things that they don't like (such things as dwelling on the history of France, or teaching about the reasons for the Crusades, or antisemitism -- anything that they think might cause sympathy for non-Muslims, or might somehow reflect badly on Muslims and on Islam) . The cost to the educational systems all over Western Europe are best known to those who teach in those systems -- all you have to do is ask those teachers, and those harried, sometimes threatened staff.
There is the cost to public hospitals, where Muslim men demand that male doctors not treat "their women," or that if they do, the Musilm men be present as the interlocutors. There are, again, the threats made, the attacks carried out, against hospital staff, that lead to a general rise in tension for non-Muslim doctors, nurses, and patients. Again, the security problem costs money.
There is the cost to everyone, in the diminishment of social calm and social cohesion, that can be seen not in Mayfair, or Belgravia, and not along the Avenue Foch, or Neuilly-sur-Seine, but everywhere that those not protected by great wealth -- the very people who, in politics and in the media, have been so wilfully unaware of how the Muslim presence in Western Europe damages life, diminishes the douceur de vivre, in every respect, and makes for a world "much more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous" for the indigenous non-Muslims, and other, non-Muslim immigrants, than would be the case without a large-scale Muslim presence.
Think about it. Try your best to pretend that what I have just written isn't true. Because, after all, we don't want it to be true. It is too upsetting. It requires that one start thinking about doing things that some, for some strange reason, just can't allow themselves to contemplate -- such as hatling all Muslim immigration, and working to reverse the Muslim presence in their countries by creating an environment that is Islam-hostile, not grotesquely Islam-friendly.
Try to keep denying it.
Then, when you finally give up, you will find that, clear-eyed, you feel much better. And not nearly as monstrous as you thought you might become. There's nothing monstrous about it. You can be just as sweet, humorful, clever, amusing, as you ever were. And at the same time, you can be calmly, but relentlessly, against Islam and its carriers and its apologists..

To be honest buying a new Mario Kart game is still sort of an unusual experience for me, MK7 being only the second one I've ever purchased. I've really only just now started to recognize it as a series of valuable games.
Oh I've been playing Mario Kart since the beginning, but only passively until the last few years and even then sort of on-and-off in regards to releases. Even today I'm still baffled at the franchise's success and why people value it so much.
I rented Super Mario Kart back in 1992, had fun with it for a bit, then totally forgot about the game and years later thought to myself "there was a Mario Kart on Super NES? Oh yeah I played that!" I probably had hours of fun with Mario Kart 64 – at my friends' houses whenever they wanted to play it instead of GoldenEye.
I didn't really see it as a valuable product where you get fulfillment out of unlocking events and racers and whatnot. I probably saw it (and still see it) in very much the same way people might look at free2play games – as a place you go to, not a thing you own. Maybe this is because I partially overlooked it as a Mario spinoff and not as a pioneer of combat racing games (and still probably the best combat racing game).
To this day I still don't get why Mario Kart Double Dash was as highly praised as it was. The two-seater karts didn't really add anything in my opinion and I don't know if a whole lot of people had access to the new LAN option. I just don't see what it offered over MK64. Maybe I was just mad because it didn't have the Block Fort map.
The first Mario Kart game I actually bought was Mario Kart DS and I'm still not sure why. I think it was because I was kinda eager to play the first online Nintendo game, but something about that game clicked after I bought it. The controls were incredibly well-done, the bottom screen was actually put to a really good use, and there wasn't anything that felt extraneous about the game. Everything was where it was supposed to be.
What I don't understand though is how that game managed to keep popping up on NPDs five years after it came out, eventually selling like 20 million copies. What was it about Mario Kart that caught on with the casual gamers? What is it that caused Mario Kart Wii to sell 30 million copies? I didn't even like MKWii all that much because, once again, it didn't really do much different other than being the first decent online Wii game.
Oddly enough, Mario Kart 7 comes positioned to be the online spearhead of the 3DS, debuting right alongside the system's Xbox Live-like instant joint feature, and introducing its own dedicated server-style communities feature. I don't know how I feel about hang gliding and kart customization yet (apparently Miyamoto didn't either), but at least the return of coins can start to shut up the Super Mario Kart purists.
Maybe for me this is all because in my experience each Mario Kart has been overshadowed by other games on Nintendo platformers. People today might see it as Nintendo's main multiplayer franchise, but we also always had Smash Bros., GoldenEye, etc. On the DS and 3DS the way has been clear for MK… well until they get Super Smash Bros. out on the 3DS.

An anticholinergic agent, glycopyrrolate, produced an increase in the fractional excretion of uric acid of greater than 20% in eight of 19 subjects with hyperuricemia or gout but in none of the 15 normouricemic control subjects. Glycopyrrolate placebo had no effect. A similar uricosuric effect was observed in several subjects following the administration of a second anticholinergic agent, tridihexethyl chloride, but not with the administration of a third agent, L-hyoscyamine. The uricosuric effect of glycopyrrolate and tridihexethyl chloride was not associated with a change in the binding of urate to plasma proteins in vitro. The autonomic nervous system may contribute to the regulation of uric acid excretion in some patients.

Invention And She's Geeky 2012
By Anna Billstrom (Developer, Momentus Media)
I really want to find this picture of my great-grandfather standing in front of his car, that has a license plate with a big circle cut out of the center. He's showing off his invention. A way of keeping your car from being stolen. You take the center of the license out with you when you leave the car. Ta-da.
Inventing things is so much fun! OK blog post is done.

I. am. PUMPED. And I don't usually say that about licensed games. IMGONNAWRECKIT
Activision and Disney Interactive today announced that they will be releasing Wreck-It Ralph on the Wii this fall, to tie in with the release of the highly anticipated blockbuster movie of the same name from Walt Disney Animation Studios. The retro, arcade-style side-scrolling game features Ralph, the misunderstood villain of his own arcade game, who sets out to prove that he can be a hero too.
The film is directed by Rich Moore, of The Simpsons and Futurama fame, and chronicles the journey of Ralph, a video game bad guy who wants to become a hero. Unfortunately though he cant help wrecking everything with his clumsiness, thus unwittingly unleashing a deadly video game nemesis onto his neighbours. The films voice cast includes Jane Lynch, John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman.Wreck-It Ralph, as a brand, is perfectly suited for video game stardom, said David Oxford, Executive Vice President, Activision Publishing. With the fantastic characters and creative atmosphere envisioned by Walt Disney Animation Studios, we know fans are going to love seeing their newfound favourite characters embark on an all-new side scrolling adventure.
The game picks up where the movie ends, as Ralph teams up with Fix-It-Felix and sets out to save the day. All-new levels from the Wreck-It Ralph universe include Sugar Rush, Heros Duty, and Fix-It Felix, Jr., with the action seeing Ralph using his clumsy strength to beat the Cy-Bugs, and switching back to Felix to repair the damage. Game modes include story campaign and two-player co-op.

THE WOMAN I SPOKE WITH, IS A LAWYER FOR SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO WERE RIGHT HERE CALLING FOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO RE- THINK THEIR DECISION ON ORDINANCE 119. "this is your kids and your grandkids. this is their world that we're leaving them. the least bit we can do is say we went down bloody." "that i'm afraid, that we have awoken the sleeping giant." DOZENS OF PEOPLE GATHERED AT THE FRONT DOOR FAYETTEVILLE CITY HALL. SOME CARRYING SIGNS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO SAY NO TO CIVIL RIGHTS ORDINANCE 119. IT CALLS TO PROTECT PEOPLE, NO MATTER YOUR AGE, RACE, GENDER OR ANY OTHER BACKGROUND FROM BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST WITHIN THE CITY.

Look for a small freezer, you can often find used ones for cheap, and go direct to the farm. I can easily fit a quarter of a cow in one that takes up 2'x2' if you are going to an Asian market they are probably direct sourcing their meat, and contrary to popular belief most farm animals have a fairly decent life. Chickens don't, pigs it's hit and miss. Cows and sheep are too expensive to raise not on pasture, and are usually only brought inside to finish off for a few weeks. Even then they are usually only grained, then kicked back outside.
Poor conditions results in a poor end product and poor return. Animals kept confined means higher overhead in feed, bedding and labour. It really doesnt pay to treat your livestock poorly. This doesn't even get into the fact that most farmers do care a great deal about their animals, and their quality of life.
Personally I would buy meat at the Asian market. It's going to be better quality than chain stores because of how they source their produce, and if you can find a local butcher. They should be able to answer any questions you have on how their products were raised.

Skinny Mint Chocolate Milkshakes.
Thick & creamy mint chocolate milkshakes without all the calories and fat.
It's been far too long since I shared a milkshake/smoothie with you. And in true Sally form, this milkshake is "skinny."
I'd much rather eat my mint chocolate calories than drink them.
I made this cool, creamy milkshake after coming home from a run. I haven't been running as much lately because it's hard for me to breathe the cold, windy air. I've been embracing my yoga mat and 20-minute exercise DVDs. (Even though she sorta annoys me, I love this one.) Oh, and my camera + lens weigh a hefty 7 lbs, so consider that my arm workout every day.
By the way, do you like my running shoes?
I typically run in Brooks, but how can you NOT want to run in these? They're Asics Gel-Noosa TRI™ 8. And obnoxiously cool.
Anyway, let's talk about healthy mint chocolate milkshakes. Because I know that's really why you're here.
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I love to make milkshakes and smoothies from frozen bananas. Frozen bananas are typically the creamy base for all of my healthy blended drinks. Buy bananas, let them rot on your counter, peel them, slice them, freeze them. These mint chocolate milkshakes begin with 3 small very ripe, frozen bananas.
I know what you're thinking – MINT and BANANA? Yes. But please listen (read?) when I say (type?) that the riper your bananas are, the less your milkshakes/smoothies will taste like banana. So let your bananas brown. You want dark brown speckled peels.
Along with frozen bananas, you will need yogurt, milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a touch of peppermint extract. There is never any of that weird "healthy" stuff in my recipes. Just pure, good-for-you ingredients that are convenient and easy.
There is a lot of wiggle room with these ingredients:
- The milk can be any milk you like. I do not like regular milk (I know, I'm strange), so I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- The yogurt can be any yogurt you like. I use non-fat Greek yogurt because of its protein content. You will need 6 0z of it.
- Start with 2 heaping Tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. Add more for a richer chocolate flavor if you'd like.
- Start with 1/8 teaspoon of peppermint extract. This stuff is potent. Add more if you'd like.
- Feel free to add chocolate protein powder if you want. I do not like protein powder, so I never use it.
- Feel free to add a handful of spinach if desired.
Decorate your shake! For the milkshake's decor, I chopped up a dark chocolate bar and sprinkled pieces on top. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and good things. Plus, it's healthy for the mind and soul. A few sprigs of fresh mint make the milkshakes look extra fancy… as does serving them in wine glasses.
I like to pretend I'm fancy as I work.
I don't calculate calories for things made from such good-for-you ingredients, so please look up the nutrition information if you're concerned. I do know, however, that these milkshakes are overflowing with chocolate flavor, mint flavor, and protein from the Greek yogurt. Keeps my muscles AND my tastebuds happy.
Slurping down this decadent-tasting milkshake after a solid workout felt like vacation. Even though I was about to sit down to work. Mind games.
If you love mint chocolate, do yourself a favor and try these bad boys! My recipe will make two large milkshakes. Halve the recipe for one or make it all and save the rest in the refrigerator for later, which is exactly what I did. Or umm, drink the whole thing. Because that's ok too.
Since the milkshakes are sneakily "skinny" you can save room for sugar-laden mint cheesecake brownies or frosting that tastes like ice cream.
Life's all about balance, after all. 🙂

Amazing!! Thank you! This will be my post workout drink for a while now lol. But i really want to try dark chocolate powder and frozen raspberries :)) I didn't think to try frozen bananas until coming across ur blog.. I'm glad I did! I was getting sick of the banana flavored smoothies, but now I can make endless variations of healthy ice creams/ smoothies and not even taste the banana or consume the calories! Thank u.. I love ur recipes!
Finally made this – very good 🙂 I tried it before adding the mint, then added the mint, and I have to say… I liked it better without the mint!
I made it again with Toasted Coconut greek yogurt and 1 scoop of Chocolate Coconut protein powder (leaving out the mint) and it was AMAZING! Great base recipe — thanks Sally!
