Arsène Wenger – clearly the worst football manager ever
For my sins I'm a bit of an Arsenal fan. Like the glutton for punishment I am, I also happen to be a Guardian reader (probably no surprise to anyone who's read my increasingly infrequent pinko leftie-liberal ranting on these very pages). These days it's becoming increasingly difficult to happily combine the two.
I don't care what any fusty old git says about the Telegraph having the best sports coverage, to my mind the dear old 'Graun' wins it by a country mile. Football writers like David Lacey & Kevin McCarra, alongside broader sportswriters like Paul Hayward and Richard Williams, are – if you'll pardon the rather awkward pun – leagues ahead of the competition in terms of quality, if not readership.
Nevertheless, the (admittedly Manchester-leaning) Guardian seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession with the fortunes of Arsenal Football Club. In fact, scanning the rest of the media, the annual end-of-season implosion of North London's finest seems to be something of a cause célèbre for everyone else too. Arsène Wenger is variously derided as stubborn, deluded, myopic, deranged, overly prone to whingeing, not to mention tactically inept and – let's not forget – just bloody well foreign.
An undue amount of attention seems to be given to Arsenal's sixth season without silverware (although there never seems to be any mention of Liverpool's trophy cabinet gathering dust for the same period) without anyone pausing to consider perhaps what a fantastic job Wenger has been doing these last few financially-constrained seasons.
During a brief chink of light during an otherwise unrelenting hatchet job on the Arsenal manager, The Independent's Mark Fleming points out that:
Since The Invincibles season of 2004, Wenger is actually in profit concerning transfer dealings with £10.8m in the bank, thanks mostly to selling Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Touré to Manchester City, while at the same time recruiting players such as Andrei Arshavin (£15m), Samir Nasri (£15.8m), Theo Walcott (£9m) and Thomas Vermaelen (£10m). Such frugality is remarkable, given the net spending of his rivals – Manchester City who have spent £435m since 2004; Chelsea £397m; Tottenham Hotspur £239m; Liverpool £142m; and Manchester United £108m, despite selling Cristiano Ronaldo for £80m.
Wenger's shrewd management of Arsenal has seen the club finish in the top four of the Premier League for every one of his fourteen seasons in charge while becoming by far the most financially stable club of those that regularly contest the honours. This has been achieved without the backing of rich benefactors, or indeed (as in the case of Manchester United) the scandalous laying of debt onto the future of the club. Oh, and Arsenal still manage to play by far the most entertaining (if frequently infuriating) brand of football in the English League.
Yes, they were found wanting in the closing stages of the season and yes, almost any Arsenal fan would be able to point to areas of the team which could do with strengthening, but it really is time that someone recognised the quite remarkable job Arsène Wenger has done with such limited means. Instead it seems that otherwise respectable organs like The Guardian draw lots among their sports writers to find out who gets the privilege of putting together the daily character assassination of the Arsenal manager (witness these eight pieces in the last week alone). Meanwhile the free-spending scattergun-in-the-transfer-market Harry Redknapp (one FA Cup win in his managerial career) is portrayed as some cheery national treasure, poised to lead the limited players of the England national squad out of the wilderness the moment his country comes calling.
Perhaps I've got it all wrong. Perhaps Arsène Wenger really is the worst football manager ever. Even so, Arsenal would be mad to swap him for anyone else.
A personal view on smoking
OK, best to start with my cards on the table. I am a smoker, I have been for around a quarter of a century (with a few brief flashes of willpower in between) and I work in the pub trade. You could say that these factors cloud (no pun intended) my judgement on the issue of smoking bans, whether the existing public places restrictions or a suggested ban on smoking in cars, and you'd probably be right. Nevertheless, I know smoking is daft, I know it's unpleasant for non-smokers and I don't believe it's fair for parents to make their children suffer the muck they exhale.
Having said all of that, I can't honestly say I was an enthusiast for the smoking ban when it came in in 2007. As the manager of a rural pub with a predominantly food-led trade we took the decision to become completely non-smoking some months before the ban came into effect, and our customers were (largely) grateful for it. But I always felt that establishments such as ours should be free to choose their own policy. Ultimately I always believed that such things would be, to use the jargon, 'customer-led' and that government interference would not be necessary. By the time of the ban there had certainly been a change in public attitudes towards smoking, and those pubs that didn't examine what they were doing were in danger of being left behind – in the end people would have a choice, and no business wants to be on the wrong end of such a choice.
Of course, the ban in pubs did have another aspect and that was the protection of staff. Whatever one's views on individual freedom there was a strong case to be made that the generally poorly waged should not be forced to breathe others' smoke simply to earn a living, and that should be one of the reasons most pubs would never go back in the unlikely event that the law was ever repealed.
No such logic is present in Jersey's deliberations on whether to ban smoking in cars. Few would argue against such a ban when children are present (although it seems an alarming 16% don't feel compelled to agree) but it's difficult to understand why individuals in private cars should not be free to smoke if they choose. Regardless of what those in favour of a ban say, it is not the same as using a hand-held mobile – unlike a phone you can still hold a steering wheel with a cigarette in your hand. Besides, even if you do make the case that smoking is a distraction, where do you draw the line? Is eating a travel sweet a clear and present danger? Should you really have the radio on or, heaven forbid, switch stations?
Perhaps I'm a little paranoid. Maybe I've adopted the seige mentality propagated by the tobacco lobby. But there will be many on the mainland who watch the Jersey experience with interest with a view to changing the law here. I suspect that few of those people believe, as I do, that individual freedoms should be maintained provided there is no demonstrable harm to anyone else.
We've come a long way from the days when advertisers used to tell a credulous population that "more Doctors smoke Camel than any other cigarette" and that is unquestionably a good thing. A smaller percentage of the population smoke now, and those that do are left in little doubt that their addiction tends not to be viewed sympathetically by the majority. I can handle being a social leper and I'll keep going with my feeble attempts to quit. But I do think the choice should remain my own, provided I don't restrict anyone else's options. It will be interesting to see what Jersey's powers-that-be conclude.
I'll finish off with one of my favourite magic clips, which has very little to do with the arguments around smoking bans but is hugely entertaining all the same. This is an American magician called Tom Mullica who used to perform this 'trick' throughout the eighties and nineties. Understandably his doctors were never too enamoured with his performance, but the good news is he subsequently gave up smoking. He now reports that he can obtain health insurance for the first time in his professional life.
There is no trickery – he actually does what you see before you. (The whole clip is worth watching, but if you just fancy the disturbing part head to 2:56.)
Wayne Rooney – someone have a word…
To the great surprise of just about no one, the FA and referee Mark Clattenberg have ducked out of making Manchester United's Wayne Rooney face charges for his blatant elbowing of Wigan's James McCarthy at the weekend. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the FA's somewhat strange procedure in cases such as these, it does seem rather odd that such a clearly obvious attempt at assault is able to go unpunished.
It's probably fair to say that I'm not Rooney's greatest fan. Talented though he is, you'd have to go a long way to find a more over-hyped player in the already never-knowingly-undersold English Premier League. Witness, for example, the wall-to-wall coverage of his overhead kick in the Manchester derby recently – undeniably a great goal, but overseas players frequently produce such feats with only a fraction of the fanfare – or the continuing media obsession with a colourful private life which is, nevertheless, private (or at least, should be).
Of course, it can easily be said that these factors are outside Rooney's control. He doesn't choose the headline writers' puns, either front page or back. What is his responsibility, however, is his behaviour on the football pitch.
Rooney continually cuts a tormented figure, as if his entire life story is one of endless persecution by 'The Man'. Every decision by a referee is met with a volley of Anglo-Saxon, a scowl or a plain, unadulterated tantrum. He chips away at opponents, bellows at linesmen, lashes out at corner flags and has now managed to add common assault to his less than glorious repertoire.
The argument often given in defence of his antics, not least by his supremely over-indulgent manager or the likes of previously sane journos like Paul Wilson, is that if you take away Rooney's dark side you lose the part of his game that makes him 'special'. What complete neanderthal rubbish. Why should we expect talented footballers to automatically behave like petty thugs or indeed excuse the few that do? It was never the case with Thierry Henry, Kenny Dalglish, Trevor Brooking or countless others. Lionel Messi doesn't rely on assaults to the head to keep his genius ticking over. Yet we're constantly told that Rooney's precious talent makes him a special case.
Without necessarily going down the route of conspiracy theory to explain why Manchester United often seem to receive different treatment from the authorities, I do sometimes despair that anyone will ever summon the courage to tell Rooney to pipe down. Referees, managers, sports writers – all seem to develop a blind spot when it comes to the behaviour of England's 'Great Hope', but seriously people, can someone have a word?
The fire of protest spreads
A spark of pro-democracy protest – almost unnoticed in parts of 'The West' – appeared in Tunisia last month and has now turned into a fire of potentially historic proportions reaching across North Africa into the Middle East. The great Arab democratic revolt overthrew the governments of Tunisia and Egypt and now threatens the established regimes of Bahrain, Yemen and Libya while doubtless causing anxious glances from other states in the region, perhaps most notably Iran.
It's impossible to say how this will end and how much blood will continue to be spilled by totalitarian regimes such as Gaddafi's in Libya, but this passage of history bears a striking resemblance to the collapse of Soviet Communism in Europe in the last months of the 1980s. In that case a similar domino effect was witnessed as the supressed and impoverished people of each Eastern European state felt able to draw strength and confidence from neighbouring states who had risen up against the old order. Europe changed forever in the space of a few short months. It was a fascinating period of twentieth century history, and it was a privilege to be alive during such a time of immense change.
There is a similar feel to events in the Arab world at the moment, although the factors causing change are quite different from those which were at play in Europe twenty-two years ago. On the face of it, nationalism appears to be less of a factor in the Arab uprisings as Middle Eastern peoples have always had less regard for lines on a map than their European counterparts. In addition the Cold War backdrop of a chessboard for the Superpowers doesn't apply in the Arab nations, at least not to the extent that it did in post-War Germany and the nations surrounding it.
The common factors, of course, are repression and economic suffering. A class of people have found the strength to articulate their strong view that their economic hardship should no longer be taken for granted and that they should have the democratic freedom to do what they can to put that right. I applaud the courage of those who live in political systems I can barely imagine who have taken to the streets to give voice to, in some cases, hundreds of years of simmering resentment. I hope that the Arab states can find their solutions, free if at all possible from Western interference, and that people will not have to keep dying in the pursuit of democracy. History is being written across North Africa and the Middle East, and it's probably about time too.
The madness of 'Deadline Day'
Mercifully, this was my first 'Transfer Deadline Day' for some years which remained untouched by the hype and breathless speculation of Sky Sports News (I cancelled my subscription some months ago). As it turned out there was probably no need for that particular network's passion for sensationalism, as another day of extraordinary gambling in the transfer market unfolded with Fernando Torres heading for Chelsea for £50m and – in perhaps the most eyebrow-raising move of recent years – an apparently reluctant Andy Carroll making the switch to Liverpool from Newcastle for £35m.
Every year one of the over-monied English Premier League clubs takes an extraordinary leap for a seemingly ordinary player, and every year there is the inevitable chorus of "this can't go on". Yet we know there will be more of the same in the summer and another rash of panic-buying a year from now. There seems no end in sight for a level of spending we all routinely refer to as unsustainable.
I'm no enthusiast for Tottenham Hotspur but – even for a club managed by Harry Redknapp – they too had a remarkable Deadline Day. Bids for Carroll, Blackpool's Charlie Adams and a seemingly endless pool of £38.5m-rated Spanish centre-forwards were capped by a £500,000 approach for Everton's Phil Neville, a move their manager David Moyes described as 'insulting'.
Redknapp, of course, is great copy for the sports journalists during the transfer window. Not for him the quiet reticence of only speaking when you actually have something to say – Harry loves nothing better than discussing other clubs' players, giving the nod to the journos about the 'deals' he's working on. Some regard him as something of a national treasure, the coming saviour of the English national team. Others see him as a throwback to another era, when players moved on a nod and a wink and everyone in the game 'looked after each other' as it were.
Personally I see him simply as an irritant, someone who should learn the concept of good manners and not 'tapping a player up'. I'd quite like him to take the England job, sooner rather than later preferably, because I'm fed up of Spurs looking like they might be successful. It's hard to imagine him as a national coach, however. No transfer market and therefore no opportunity to make public overtures towards Spanish forwards who might be able to "come in and do a job for us". It would be destined to end in tears, but would no doubt be hugely entertaining along the way.
I never quite understood the rationale behind the transfer window. It always seems to be unfairly restrictive on the clubs with the smallest squads and the tightest resources. Newcastle, for example, now find themselves a key striker down with no chance to bring in a replacement until the summer. The 'big' clubs, by contrast, can afford to splash out heavily with a few hours of the window remaining, thereby reinforcing their dominance on a league already controlled by sugar daddy owners with deep pockets (or, in the case of the Glazers at Manchester United, large overdraft facilities). Perhaps the worried cries of unsustainability over the years have been wide of the mark, but Deadline Day does rather preserve the status quo – the one reason above all others that nothing's likely to change soon.
It's hard not to gloat about The Ashes
I began fiddling around with this post before play had even started on the final day of the Fourth Ashes Test in Melbourne, and that is probably another indication of how annoying fans of English cricket will become to Australians over the coming days, weeks and months. Cockiness has seemingly become part and parcel of the England fans' mindsets over the series so far, at least in the eyes of the Aussies, and the bad news is there's almost certainly worse to come.
Last night Andrew Strauss' team retained The Ashes by comfortably winning the Fourth Test, thereby assuring at least a draw in the five match series. The series isn't won yet – a win or a draw for England in the final Test at Sydney would clinch that – but the gloating is well and truly underway.
The thing is that it's particularly hard not to gloat about any sporting triumph against 'The Old Enemy'. I don't even like rugby, but I couldn't resist reminding any Australian I encountered of Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal in the 2003 World Cup Final for some months after the event. Similarly, the Ashes triumphs on home soil in 2005 and 2009 were brought up at any opportunity, even if the 5-0 whitewash at the hands of the Aussies in 2006-7 put everything briefly into perspective.
This one is special, however. Every English touring side over the last twenty-four years has had to endure the sneering and sledging of the home nation and acres of accompanying newsprint devoted to the topic of whether such uncompetitive opponents warranted a five match series. Suddenly such commentary has fallen silent while the previously packed venues have steadily emptied as the home side's fortunes have disappeared down the pan.
The Australian media have been a joy to behold on this tour, one minute claiming their favourites were not fit to wear the famous Baggy Green, the next pointing sharply at perceived English hubris. Now they are left to face defeat, and in so doing have given us a reminder that perhaps the British media aren't the only ones who enjoy nothing more than giving their own a brutal character assassination. (My favourite outlet of the series has been the Sydney Morning Herald and an example of their no-holds-barred criticism of a deflated Australian side can be seen here.)
So I for one will not be afraid to wallow in a healthy dose of gloating at the expense of the previously unassailable Australian cricket team. Yes, England can still lose the Fifth Test and yes, Australia will almost certainly rebuild and come back stronger, but it's hard to put away the memories of a quarter of a century of relentless Aussie gloating. It may not be big, clever or even slightly magnanimous, but I can't take my eyes off the current disaster of Australian cricket – and I'm loving every minute of it.

All that cold weather in the past week will mean an increased likelihood of flooding Wednesday afternoon after rain begins.
That's because, even though it's warm Tuesday and will be even warmer Wednesday, the ground is frozen just below the surface, the National Weather Service explained.
It issued a Flash Flood Watch for a large region, including all or parts of Hunterdon, Warren, Sussex, Somerset, Morris, Union and Essex counties. The watch is in effect from Wednesday afternoon to Thursday morning.
"A slow-moving and potent cold front will tap the Gulf of Mexico, and it is forecast to generate rainfall amounts of between 1 and 2.5 inches," NWS said, with locally higher amounts possible in prolonged and heavy downpours. Moreover, thunderstorms may develop.
According to the weather agency, prolonged and heavy downpours would cause flash flooding in some locations. Road flooding is likely. Since the ground is frozen just below the surface and plants are taking in very little water, heavy rainfall will not be absorbed."
While flooding of smaller creeks and streams is possible, major river flooding is unlikely.

Rivalry motivates Mercer Island swim clubs in match-up
The second of three all-Mercer Island swim meets this summer took place on Thursday as the Mercerwood Shore Club defeated the Mercer Island Country Club, 445.5-262.5. But the score was not as important as the tradition that the meet represents.
Both meets, against the Beach Club and this one, are big rival meets, said Shore Club coach Alice Godfred. It brings out a different level of competition.
Most of the talk poolside was more about last weeks meets and decline in numbers for all the teams on the Island.
Many of our swimmers have gone to the Beach Club, said Mercer Island Country Club coach Chris Simpson. We lost eight key swimmers from last year. Mercer Island in general has lost a lot of swimmers. Some of it is financial, some vacations, and there are more and more activities to do here during the summer.
The Country Clubs loss to Newport Hills last week gave notice to the defending league champions.
I was very surprised, said Godfred. We swim against them [tomorrow]. The week of the Fourth [of July] is always tough.
The two losses to begin the season come as no surprise to Simpson with the downturn in numbers. But the coach, who is also the aquatics director, is trying to combat the changes by getting back to his roots.
I am back in the shallow end, said Simpson. We were getting these kids who didnt have the basics down, and I enjoy teaching the kids that are 3, 4, 5 years old. It is humbling, and I really enjoy it.
Helping Simpson are 14 junior coaches.
It gives the kids role models, and the social experience is awesome, said Simpson.
Simpson noted that the number of small kids swimming at the Country Club has not changed, which is encouraging.
The Shore Club has also seen a downturn in numbers.
The summer-only swimmers are so important to our team, said Godfred. We have seen great improvement so far. Each week we are getting better and better.
The toughest challenge for the Shore Club will come on July 10 when the club team hosts Edgebrook.
They still really gear up for Edgebrook and we will need it this year, said Godfred. They have about 260 swimmers while we are down to about 160.
Despite declining numbers, the quality of swims was no more evident than the Midlakes record in the 15-and-over girls 200-yard freestyle set against the Beach Club, which included Flora Muglia, Jennifer Pak, Rachel Godfred and Grace Wold.
I knew that Flora was going to be gone to Europe, said Godfred. I added up all their 50s times and knew we had a chance at it.
Personal records and event club records can be difficult to obtain, but the Midlakes records, most of the time, are out of reach.
Some of those kids who hold those records have gone on to do some great things, said Godfred. Some of the records are 20 years old.
None of the swims on Thursday resulted in a Midlakes record, but many club records were set.
The Mercer Island Beach Club lost to Edgebrook 442-268, Thursday.

"It was as simple as 'Hey, do a mouth swab, fill out a form, there's a 2 percent chance you'll ever need to donate,'" said Black, a 29-year-old from Washington, D.C.
On Sunday, though, a 10-year-old girl with a red streak in her hair played "Edelweiss" on her guitar as friends and family sang to thank Black for saving her life.
Stella Monteverde-Cakebread, a fifth-grader at the Sabin School in Northeast Portland, was diagnosed two years ago with a rare blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia. Stella needed a transplant right away, but no one in her family was a match. Her mixed-race ancestry gave her a 2 percent chance of finding a donor.
Shortly after Stella's diagnosis, Black received a call from the National Marrow Donor Program's Be the Match Registry. He learned his Mexican and European ancestry made him one of about 30 potential matches, and he turned out to be her best match.
The next six months were full of tests, treatments, preparation and finally bone marrow donation and transplant procedures. Black went home hours after his procedure, and his soreness was gone in a little more than a week. Stella's recovery took months of feeling as if there were knives inside her bones as they grew new platelets and cells.
When she was sick, Stella said, it hurt to bend, and the most movement she could manage was riding a tricycle around OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
"Now, she's rockin' the fifth grade," Cakebread said.
"It's an amazing thing to be a part of," Black said.
Stella met her donor Friday, when Black and his wife, Jillian, flew to Portland for the weekend. On Sunday, the family hosted a party at McMenamins Kennedy School, where nearly 100 people celebrated Stella's health and more than 50 people joined the marrow registry.
Black said he hopes more people learn that the donor experience isn't scary.
"All I had heard about bone marrow was pain," he said. "I hate that there's this myth."
Since Stella became healthy, Cakebread said, the family celebrates every day. As often as possible, they dance, sing, in-line skate, host barbecues, ride bicycles and enjoy time together because of Black's commitment.
"Life is not the same after this," Cakebread said. "You make sure you're laughing all the time."

Impressed with CAC
I just enjoyed the Blue Man Group show with my family at the Community Arts Center last evening.
This is actually the second time we have seen the show, the first time being at a theater in Boston.
I am so impressed that we can have the same entertainment here locally that they have in the large metropolitan areas!
I know when I initially started attending CAC shows that it was hit or miss (sorry!!), but I have been so impressed in the last few years with the quality of the bookings.
And if you think you need to wear pearls and high heels or a suit to attend a show, that's not the case! Just bring your curiosity and desire to do something different … you may not always connect with the entertainment (the Blue Man Group is totally different from something such as the upcoming Tony Bennett show), but it's always a joy to share time with family and friends anyway!
Congrats to all who had a hand in the development of the CAC and those sponsors and volunteers who continue to support it!

I have this problem encountered on Microsoft Excel. Everytime I input a figure for summation, the cell is not returning a value. What it returns is the same value of previous data. The SUM function only works when I click on the SAVE button.
Is there any way this can be corrected?
# Comment Id: 26152
You may have done my foregoing instructions but just read through them, you might have missed something.
- Click on the cell for the sum to appear, locate and click on the auto-sum icon located somewhere above the spreadsheet area.
- After that, drag and drop for the range of the cells to be added. The range is surrounded by marching ants.
Double check for the accuracy of the data in range if ever there is no error, then press enter.
Just make sure the data in range do not contain text and/or letters for this will give an error to the provided sum.

Hello Mdabon.
Set workbook calculation to "automatic".
- From Microsoft Excel, go to Tools -> Options... -> click on "Calculation" tab.
- Under the "Calculation" section, make sure that the radio button for "Automatic" is enabled.
The screenshot below is for Excel 2010. But the basic procedure remains the same for all past and present versions of Microsoft Office.
Automatic calculation is what you supposed to use. That is, Excel performs calculation immediately after a variable in the formula changes. Your settings probably changed because the Excel file that you are editing was saved from a computer whose Excel was not set to automatic calculation.
Hope this helps!

OMAHA, Neb. -- A northeast Nebraska man continues fighting for custody of his son nearly five years after he alleges a welfare worker allowed his newborn son to be taken for adoption by an Alabama couple without his permission.
Matthew Ashby of Meadow Grove hopes the Nebraska Supreme Court will reinstate his lawsuit against his ex-fiancee, the welfare worker, the boy's adoptive parents and a law firm involved in the case after the court hears arguments in the case on Tuesday.
Ashby accuses his ex-fiancee, Monica Kilmer, of conspiring with Douglas and Tammy Black of Montgomery, Ala., and others to deprive him of his parental rights, but a Lancaster County judge ruled in favor of the defendants last year.
This lawsuit seeks monetary damages, but Ashby also obtained an earlier custody ruling ordering the Blacks to return the boy that has not been enforced. Lincoln attorney Daniel Friedman said Ashby has still never met his son.
The Blacks and Kilmer maintain there was no conspiracy, and the Blacks argue the custody ruling is invalid because they never had a chance to contest it.
And Nebraska officials say they're not responsible for the adoption agony because they were not required to notify Ashby about the private adoption.
One of the key issues in the case is whether Ashby did enough to assert his parental rights after his son's birth in January 2004.
Attorney Susan Sapp, who represents the Blacks and Kilmer, argues that Ashby had ample time to register his objections to the adoption because he knew about Kilmer's pregnancy and her desire to give up the boy.
"Relying on a cornucopia of flawed legal theories, Ashby has opted to place the blame for his oversight on everyone but himself," Sapp wrote.
But Friedman argues that Ashby did everything Nebraska law requires by registering with the state shortly after he was notified about the pending adoption.
"It was not Ashby's duty to become clairvoyant, as Kilmer contends, to divine M.A.'s birth date, then register within twenty days," Friedman wrote.
According to court documents, Ashby and Kilmer were engaged to be married and living together when she became pregnant in 2003. Two days before the wedding, Kilmer broke off the engagement at the insistence of her parents.
Kilmer decided she did not want to keep the baby, so Ashby then told Kilmer he planned to file for custody of the child.
But Kilmer refused to communicate with Ashby during her pregnancy or tell him when the child was born -- Jan. 21. 2004, according to the lawsuits.
Kilmer's lawyer was required by law to give written notice to Ashby of Kilmer's plan to put the baby up for adoption. Although that letter was dated Jan. 8, 2004, Ashby says he did not get it until Jan. 28, 2004, and it wasn't sent by registered mail. Kilmer's lawyer also published a notice in the Norfolk Daily News advising Ashby that he had until Feb. 12 to claim paternity of his son.
Ashby alleges that Mary Dyer, a state adoption specialist, failed to check or ignored records when she allowed the Blacks to take the child to Alabama.
Dyer's job with the Department of Health and Human Services was to enforce the Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children, a national, multistate pact regulating adoptions between states.
That includes checking court records to make sure there has been no notice filed to claim paternity of the child.
Dyer gave permission to the Blacks to take the baby from Nebraska on Jan. 29, 2004, which they did five days later.
Ashby filed his paternity claim Jan. 30, 2004.
Lawyers for the state argue that Dyer and Nebraska shouldn't be held liable for the problems in this case because the law requires the adoption agency or lawyer involved to notify the father of a child being put up for adoption.
And on the date Dyer approved the Blacks taking the boy out of state, Ashby hadn't yet filed his paternity claim.

I love these beautiful sheers they are up now and I think they look great!
Design is quite nice and the fabric is high quality.
I love this curtain! I had a vision in my head of summer breezes gently blowing the wispy, gauze type curtains in our sunroom. I couldn't be happier with this white on white curtain and couldn't have chosen better if I had it in my hand before buying. The only complain I have is the curtains (I purchased 20 panels) are not quite the same length with a range of 2" difference.
I love the curtains. Well made and rich looking. The only issue I had was I ordered 10 panels and 2 came in with minor damages. I did not want to send back. I love them!!!! I hid the damage, you would never know. I would buy again great quality.

Wondering, what car car I'll own next. What courier I'll settle on. How long I'll let my hair grow. and the big questions like, where will Mike + I settle? When will our first kid arrive? (And with that, the obvious, 'How many kids will arrive?'). These are things that I'm a little scared of to be honest. Not because I do or don't want to have children, or really care how long my hair is. But because I'm the sort of person who likes to know things. I don't really like asking the big questions, only to have them echoed back at me with no definitive answer.
It's been 7 months since we ventured across the border to spend time on the East coast. I don't know how long we will stay, or how soon we will go. But here are some things that I do know...
We live in an old white house right across from the beach. I desperately want to gut the place and give it a face-lift, but alas, being a rental my hands feel somewhat tied.
We have a puppy who jus turned 6 months old. She's the friendliest dog you'll ever meet, is incredibly clever (when it suits her), and (even though she looks it) she is not co-ordinated and can fall over at the top of a hat.
I spend most of my time working in a cafe making coffees and one-liners. I've become immune to the smell of coffee, which makes me a little sad.
My hair is at a stage where it doesn't hold a ponytail well but makes some cute-as-a-button piggy tails.
We've been welcomed into an amazing community here in the Mid North Coast, and I couldn't bear the thought of leaving them any time soon! (CS folk, I'm looking at you!)
If any of you have ever done the whole moving thing, or even if you haven't, what are some things that kept you going? How do you know when you're ready to settle? And, what have you found matters most through it all?
I'm so humbled by the Lord, constantly learning and being reminded that it's okay not to have all the answers I want - because I know that if I but put my faith in Him, pass on my concerns and desires to Him and acknowledge Him in everything - even if things turn out differently to how I expect or want - His way will always be the better way.
"Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don't try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he's the one who will keep you on track."

By TOM HESTER Jr.
Associated Press Writer
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey's Assembly has twice-approved legislation limiting people to buying one handgun per month, but the Senate has never followed suit.
Now a state senator and urban mayors are vowing to push hard to get final approval for the legislation.
"Handgun violence is on the rise, but taking guns off the streets will help to stop the senseless slaughter of our citizens," said Sen. Sandra Bolden Cunningham, D-Hudson. "It's common sense."
New Jersey would join Virginia, Maryland and California as states that restrict people to buying one handgun per month.
California was the last state to adopt such a law, doing so in 1998, according to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
New Jersey's bill passed the Assembly in June 2007 and June 2008, but has never received a Senate hearing.
Cunningham is pushing it with help from Newark Mayor Cory A. Booker and Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy.
Jersey City in 2006 adopted its own law making it illegal to buy more than one handgun per month, but it was struck down by a judge who ruled it pre-empted state authority.
Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine has voiced support for a statewide ban.
Under the bill, any buyer or seller who knowingly violates it would face up to 18 months imprisonment and fines of up to $10,000.
"Hopefully, passage of this legislation will encourage other states, especially neighboring states like Pennsylvania and New York, to follow suit," Cunningham said.
Scott L. Bach, president of the New Jersey Association of Rifle and Pistol Clubs, the National Rifle Association's state organization, has said limiting handgun sales to one per month would do nothing to halt crime.
"We do not believe that rationing guns to honest citizens will reduce crime, any more than rationing knives to restaurant-goers will reduce stabbings or rationing matches to fireplace owners reduce arsons," Bach said.

NEW YORK -- The closing of a main runway at JFK was expected to make travel to New York difficult. High winds are making the experience miserable.
Delays for flights arriving at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport are averaging nearly two hours on Monday, the day the airport's main runway shut down for a four-month renovation.
FAA spokesman Paul Takemoto says the airport is experiencing inbound delays of one hour and 42 minutes because of the construction and winds reaching 35 mph.
Air traffic tracking site FlightAware says planes at neighboring LaGuardia airport, also in Queens, are operating on time.
The third major New York area airport, Newark Liberty International, has some inbound and outbound delays due to wind.

All 32 NFL teams were represented. Former Spartans Johnny Adams, Le'Veon Bell, Larry Caper, Dan Conroy, William Gholston, Chris McDonald, Dion Sims and Anthony Rashad White participated.
Former Michigan State kicker, and all-time leading scorer in the program, Brett Swenson also worked out in front of scouts.
Former Michigan State offensive lineman John Deyo was originally planning on taking part, but was ultimately not allowed to participate due to a residency issue. Deyo, who dealt with his fair share of injuries and complications during his career as a Spartan, did participate in Western Michigan University's Pro Day but chose not to partake in all drills under the assumption he would get another opportunity in East Lansing. He and his family, who were in attendance Wednesday to support him, left the facility extremely disappointed and said they had followed through with all of the compliance details they thought would be neccessary.
For those who did participate, the day's itinerary included measurements, followed by testing in Michigan State's weight lifting room, 40 yard dash, short shuttle and 3 cone. Certain players were also taken through position specific drills led by various NFL scouts and assistant coaches.
The video above is a highlight of those drills and tests, featuring DE William Gholston, RB Le'Veon Bell, CB Johnny Adams, RB Larry Caper and OG Chris McDonald.

Craving something sweet—or salty—but think you can't have it if you are trying to lose weight? Actually, having a small treat every day may help you stick to your diet. Research in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that a small daily treat didn't sabotage weight-loss efforts. Some under-150-calorie snacks to try: a 16-oz. skim latte, two squares of dark chocolate, ½ cup (non-premium) ice cream or 4 cups of air-popped popcorn.

Eating more produce can help you slim down because produce is low in calories and high in fiber. In fact, vegetables were ranked as the No. 1 food to eat for weight loss by Harvard University. On a 1,500-calorie diet, you should eat 1½ cups of fruit and 2 cups of veggies. At breakfast, add sliced fruit to toast or veggies to an egg scramble. For lunch, eat a big salad or pack a wrap with baby spinach. For snacks, try grapefruit, apples or carrot sticks. And at dinner, start your meal with a bowl of vegetable soup and be sure to include produce in your meal.

1. Track your weight: The age-old advice to step on the scale at least once a week really does help boost pound-shedding success. Daily weigh-ins work, too—the important thing is that you start to notice whether the numbers are going up, down or staying the same. When you weigh yourself, you're more likely to notice if you go up a pound or two…and not let the number keep going up. The EatingWell menu planner has a weight-tracking feature or take note in your food diary. If you're not a fan of the scale, pay close attention to how your clothes fit to help you keep track.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Salvation Army Maj. Roger Ross said he is thrilled every day he visits the future site of the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center on South Division Avenue.
"It's just very exciting to know that in about 18 months, this building will be open and serving the community," said Ross, the administrator of the $25 million facility.
See what's developing
What: Fundraising announcement and tours of the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center construction site
When: 10 a.m. Wednesday
Where: 2500 S. Division Ave., Grand Rapids
On Wednesday, Ross is hoping the public will see what he means when the Salvation Army will formally announce the final phase of its public fundraising drive and a corresponding $1 million challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation.
Salvation Army officials say their "Unlock the Kroc" campaign will focus on raising the last local dollars needed to "unlock" the Kresge challenge grant and the $41 million gift from Joan Kroc, the late widow of McDonald's Inc. founder Ray Kroc.
So far, major local donors have raised about $11.5 million toward the $15 million match required by the Kroc gift.
"We realize that these are challenging economic times in Michigan, but we now have a challenge set before us, and we are reaching out to our neighbors and friends to help create this world-class, life-changing educational, recreational, cultural and spiritual campus," said Divisional Commander Maj. Ralph Bukiewicz.
Of the $56.5 million total, $25 million will be used to build the 90,000-square-foot campus, while $31.5 million will go toward an endowment fund to operate the facility.
Kristine Palosaari, a divisional development director for the Salvation Army, said the fundraising will focus on local businesses, individuals and foundations that have not participated yet.
"We are very, very fortunate and blessed," she said. "The people we are talking to see the value of this. Some see it as an incredible opportunity for funds to come into Grand Rapids."
Since last fall's official groundbreaking, construction workers have completed site preparations and now are setting beams and building walls for the swimming pool, offices and the conference center, Ross said.
Meanwhile, Ross said he and his wife, Joy, have begun "pre-Kroc" programs from other locations to acquaint the public with the center's offerings. About 500 area residents are participating in the programs, he said.

Huzzah for level headed sensibleness! Chicken Little pieces sell better than measured carefully documented stories unfortunately. Shocking and scary=sexy=marketable.I'm not sure what to make of this report. I hope everyone took the time to read it all, because it reads like a heavy agenda piece severely lacking in context. I'm not a fan of nuclear power, in fact I think it's an absolutely ridiculous idea, but just as governments and scientists may be knowing more than they're letting on, there's just as many scaremongering pseudo-truth pieces like this knocking around.
I'm not doubting the readings, just that there seems to be a whole host of selective information being presented. As a community we wouldn't accept this level of report if it was condemning, say, beef, so we really shouldn't get our knickers in a twist over this.
For example, there's tons of sensational stats like "91 times background level" etc. This means nothing without context. Levels in the Fukushima exclusion zone are 3,500 times higher than in parts of Japan only 100-150 miles away. Large chunks of Japan has background radiation levels lower than New York. What were the background radiation levels in the areas mentioned? What is considered safe? How does this compare to a mobile phone conversation? It's entirely possible that your mobile/cell phone is more of a danger than any of this.
I must confess to not knowing much about radiation, but after reading this article, I feel I know even less. A shame, because they seem to have potentially useful information. Yet the level of reporting only goes from sensationalist to vague.
Living in Japan I'm possibly more concerned about this than most, but just as more independent testing needs to be done (the article ignores many readings that show negligible impact), being fast and loose with claims of the dangers doesn't help anybody. It just leads to panic.
I'm not trashing the info in the piece, but it needs way more solid context before it even begins to be worthwhile. I wonder why the reporter hasn't put it in?
One line particularly made me roll my eyes and laugh out loud in one smooth motion:
The breadth of the Fukushima fallout across the entire globe is easily on a scale that almost defies imagination
WTF! That means absolutely nothing! That's not a scale, that's jibberish designed to shock and scare. It's a difficult job to put a measure on the effect of Fukushima past and future. One that perhaps this reporter shouldn't have taken on.

Slidell's Planning Department has put together a meeting between representatives of Walmart and neighbors in the north Slidell area where the chain has proposed building a Walmart Neighborhood Market grocery store.
The meeting will be Wednesday, Jan. 29, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council chambers, 2045 Second St. City officials are also expected to attend, Slidell City Councilman Jay Newcomb said in an email.
Walmart has proposed building a grocery on a wooded parcel of land on Robert Boulevard, between Dijon Drive and North Boulevard. The company was on the agenda of the city's Board of Zoning Adjustments seeking two parking-related variances last week, but asked the board to put off discussing the issue until its February meeting.
One variance seeks permission for the proposed store to have fewer parking spaces than the city's code currently requires; the other asks permission to make the parking spots smaller than what the city currently allows. Slidell's Planning Department has recommended against both variances.
Some area residents have raised concerns about the proposed store, citing concerns ranging from traffic to noise to the loss of the wooded tract. The property is currently zoned C-2, neighborhood commercial, a use that includes grocery stores.
The company currently operates Neighborhood Markets, which are smaller than Walmart stores that contain supermarkets, in Mandeville and Covington.

TRENTON — The Trenton Fire Department discovered two dead dogs Wednesday, double-bagged, sealed and left in a vacant home on Vine Street, Capt. Nicholas Candelori said.
Candelori estimated the dogs were in the home for two to three days — the same timeline he said neighbors offered for when a foul smell became apparent and an increased number of flies appeared. Candelori said it was unclear what types of dogs they were, but said one was "very large."
Police arrived on the scene when neighbors complained of a foul odor emanating from the abandoned home, then called in the Fire Department at 6:50 p.m. Police ripped open one of the bags, recognized it was decaying matter and realized the odor inside the exceptionally warm house was too strong for anyone without air packs, Candelori said.
The Fire Department brought a hazmat crew to the scene, Candelori said, and located one dog in a bag in the rear doorway and the second in a bag just inside the house.
Animal Control officers were not available for comment.

Lauren Petrik became the third Wagner College women's lacrosse player in as many weeks to be named the Northeast Conference Player of the Week as she led the Seahawks to a 2-0 week, extending the team's winning streak to five games in the process.
Last week, the senior midfielder Petrik posted five goals and three assists in Wagner's 19-14 road win at Howard and followed it up with a two-goal, two-assist performance in a 17-10 victory over Presbyterian on Sunday, giving her a total of 12 points for the week. The five goals and eight points vs. Howard were career highs. Petrik tallied seven goals for the week, which came on .636 shooting (7-of-11), along with five assists while collecting four ground balls.
The Seahawks will take their 5-3 record into the NEC portion of their schedule, a nine-game slate that begins with Friday's NEC home opener against Quinnipiac

ELECTRONICS: Michell Instruments has been working with a leading energy company to develop a unique control solution for their natural gas storage site. The company required total security in its hydrocarbon dew-point readings, so Michell developed the Twin-Condumax II Sampling System to provide this with complete confidence.
Employing two Condumax II explosion proof hydrocarbon dew-point analyzers means that there is always the reassurance of a reference instrument to confirm readings. The other advantage to this system is that it can be used continually, with no interruption in measurements caused by routine maintenance or other potential disruptions.
The system has been custom designed to meet the specific needs of the user and Michell was able to satisfy the customer's enhanced pipeline safety requirements by accommodating the required controls within the architecture of the analyzer. An additional regulator and sample line have also been added to the system to provide a supply for use in the customers' labs.
Condumax is recognized by many national and multinational companies involved in the production, storage and distribution of natural gas as the benchmark instrument with which to reliably record the hydrocarbon dew point of natural gas.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) -- Creating jobs, improving public safety, opening lines of communication.
All goals of the three Democratic candidates for Fort Wayne City Council's Sixth District.
13 year incumbent Glynn Hines, former NAACP leader, Reverend Michael Latham, and a member of the 122nd fighter wing, Leon Williams debated Wednesday night.
Their levels of experience may set them apart.
Glen Hines says, "I hope to get a contrast from what my experience presents versus the inexperience of the two candidates who are running against me, some who have been unsuccessful at everything they've done and the other who is just a neophyte."
"I think I've got a lot of new ideas and a lot of experience that Glynn's not aware of in this community for a long time working with folk," says Reverend Michael Latham, "The difference between me and him is I just have not been on city council."
Leon Williams says, "I am a very hard worker and I am a result driven individual and I will get things done. I am not a politician."

Click here to read the first part of the story of Jan Rohrer's disappearance and slaying.
BAY CITY, MI — With the discovery of Jan Marie Rohrer's remains on Nov. 7, 1974, the investigation into the 13-year-old Bay City girl's disappearance changed from a missing person search to a murder case.
But without witnesses and with little in the way of solid evidence, the trail of her killer soon grew cold.In the nearly four decades since Jan was fatally shot, investigators have kept the file open and have looked at several potential suspects. But they have been unable to bring charges against anyone.
Jan's relatives hold out hope that some day, that may change.
"She was very smart in the sciences and math. Because I was in the scientific field, I think she was sort of interested in biology and perhaps becoming a physician. She was also very artistic. She really liked sculpture, metal working, jewelry making, two-dimensional art, painting and doing stuff in mixed media."
Even if the perpetrator is now deceased, Thomas Rohrer still would like the person's guilt to be made known, saying that would at least offer some degree of closure.
"The sad part in terms of the criminal justice system is that the people who did this have had 39 years of no punishment for their crime and we've lost a sister and all the joy of her life," Rohrer said. "I'm just hoping that somebody out there who knows something or who is willing to testify will come forward now and give a statement to the police … and give them the extra little bit of information they need to have enough evidence to arrest these suspects."
Somewhere out there is someone who has the power to close the case and see justice served, William Rohrer said.
"I'm always flabbergasted at how tight-lipped everyone is about this," he said. "Somebody has to know. It sure it would be nice to get it resolved after all these years. It's still almost a surreal occurrence in my life, even after all this time."
Jan was last seen
walking the three blocks to school from her home at 1309 Fremont Ave. in Bay City's South
End on Nov. 26, 1973. Her body was found a year later by hunters in Saginaw County's Crow Island State Game Area, near the Zilwaukee Bridge. Police say she had been fatally shot.
Rita Rohrer died in 1991, never learning the culprit in her daughter's death. Jan's father, William A. Rohrer, died in 1971.
"I know, until my mother's death, it was one of the things that bothered her every day," Thomas Rohrer said. "You could just tell that when my sister disappeared and was found dead that something died within my mother. For the rest of her life, she was never the cheerful, joyful, enthusiastic person that she always was."
William Rohrer said that he doesn't need to do anything active to keep his sister's memory alive, as it has never faded.
"As I have progressed through the milestones in my life, I have always missed her, and wondered what her life would have been, and how our lives would be different if she was still with us," he said. "We do keep a copy of a photo (of Jan) … on the shelf in our study, so we do see her daily. I have three daughters, which also makes me ever conscious of Jan and what transpired."

Called Shakespeare's most magical play, the comedy, "The Tempest" features the powerful Prospero (played by Keith Frechette) who conjures the title storm to cause a shipwreck, and his beautiful daughter Miranda (Amy Frazier, Shaini Candland), who share the island with a magical spirit, a monster, and after the storm, quite a few castaways. While Prospero pursues an elaborate scheme to restore his good name in Italy, hilarious misadventures happen to all on the island.
The hour-long adaptation will debut at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, July 4, on the Fireworks Stage in Tolt-MacDonald Park during the celebration.
The cast includes Nikki Dalton as the boatswain and narrator; Mikaela Stratman as Prospero's right-hand spirit Ariel; Devon Young as Ferdinand; Joshua Washburn as the monster Caliban; Riley Wilk as Alonso; Davin Henrikson/Daniel Hafen as Gonzalo; Keri-Ann White/Krissy Bean as Sebatiana; Rachel Kjorsvik/Caleb Hafen as Antonio; Emily Thompson as Trinculo; Mady Vega/Shelby Sorensen as Stephano and Aiden Totten, Jeleisa Sorensen and Katie Bean as other spirits.
Additional performances are scheduled for 7 p.m., Saturday, July 6, in the Kirkland Bridal Trails main arena; 7 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at the Duvall Sandblast festival; and 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, July 27, at Kokopelli Gardens in Duvall.

The proverb tells us that "Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan"; that was certainly the case in Monday's City Council hearing to determine what went wrong in the city's disastrous response to the Christmas Weekend Blizzard.
The Bloomberg administration officials who testified before the Council often talked as if the administration's appalling succession of blunders was, like the blizzard itself, an act of God. But at the same time, they're very sorry and it will never happen again, these apparently blameless individual officials insisted.
Deputy Mayor Stephen Goldsmith, who was apparently ensconced in his Washington D.C. co-op during the blizzard, conceded that neither he nor Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was also out of town on vacation, were ever informed by other administration officials in the city about their decisions during the early hours of the storm.
This included the dubious decision not to declare a snow emergency when a major blizzard had been forecast for several days before the first flakes fell. That would have banned private vehicles from driving on or parking on designated snow routes, thereby allowing plows and salters better access.
Mr. Goldsmith chalked up the mistaken no-call to the "uncertain severity" of the storm. That's like saying there could be uncertainty about the severity of a hurricane. There was a blizzard on its way here on Christmas weekend, as weather experts had warned for several days.
Across the board, the administration's response to this crisis lagged and flawed decisions on the city's response were made without consulting top administration officials.
For example, they failed to mobilize other agencies not usually involved in snow cleanup. They might have been able to lend personnel and equipment to help clear bus stops and crosswalks.
The city's system of recruiting day laborers also broke down because many were told they weren't needed or they wouldn't be paid in a timely manner. Nor were private contractors to help with snow removal lined up ahead of time, as has been the case in the past.
And the officials admitted that the city's methods of determining actual conditions on the streets and communicating them to those in a position to respond was inadequate.
Meanwhile, there are credible accusations that some city Sanitation supervisors and workers engaged in a deliberate slowdown while others, lacking guidance from superiors, waited idly for instructions while city streets were buried in snow.
That charge is the subject of a separate criminal investigation so it wasn't addressed at the Council hearing.
The administration's admitted failures, quite possibly compounded by a Sanitation job action, meant a nightmare of several days for hundreds of thousands of city residents, particularly in the outer boroughs.
"Look, we didn't do the job you expected; we didn't do the job that residents of New York City expected," Mr. Goldsmith told the Council members. "There are a lot of mistakes made, we acknowledge those. We're here to learn from those mistakes and promise to do better in the future."
Like Mark McGwire testifying before Congress about steroids, they were "not here to talk about the past."
So the officials talked about what is supposed to happen when major snowstorms hit in the future.
Next time, they promised, the mayor or the deputy designated to act on his behalf will be contacted early and make all the decisions; the protocol to declare a snow emergency has also been refined.
Other specific reforms include: Equipment and personnel deployed to snow-removal will be pre-positioned and tow trucks will be on hand to remove vehicles that block streets. The process by which personnel from other agencies, private contractors and day laborers are recruited will be improved; all Sanitation Department plows, salters and other vehicles will be equipped with two-way radios and GPS capability so they can be tracked and deployed more effectively; the Office of Emergency Management will be staffed and empowered to properly coordinate the city's response; residents will be provided with improved means to get help and the protocols for dispatching city assets will be streamlined.
This is all fine, but we wonder why it took this debacle to make administration officials realize these steps are necessary. Equipping all city plows, salters and other vehicles involved in storms with GPS and radios isn't exactly cutting-edge innovation in 2011, after all.
And the lingering mystery is that the city has apparently been doing things pretty much the same way for years, and has handled even larger storms in the past quite effectively. Yet this one time, everything broke down. Why?

PLANETS TO VIEW: Saturn is in the southwest after sunset, while Jupiter rises just after midnight and is high in the south by dawn. Mars is moderately bright but easy to spot in the east before morning twilight. Mercury and Venus are lost in solar glare
for now.
THE MOON is gibbous, two days past full tonight, and it wanes to last quarter by Saturday. Evening stargazing becomes more favorable from about Thursday onward. Look for the moon near Jupiter on Saturday night and Sunday
before dawn.
THIS WEEK: This is a good week to enjoy Aquila, the Eagle, as it soars from southeast to south on these warm summer nights.
Aquila contains a first-magnitude star, Altair, which is yellow like the sun and some-what larger and more luminous. From there, trace the three-star bill, the wings and tail.
With the moon out of the way, the medium-bright stars that constitute the rest of Aquila should not be that difficult to spot.
You may notice three faint constellations near Aquila. The dim diamond-shaped group below Aquila is Scutum, the Shield.
Much more interesting, especially in binoculars, are Delphinus, the Dolphin, and Sagitta, the Arrow, above Aquila.
DID YOU KNOW? If you train binoculars on the upper star of Scutum, you will find the M11 open cluster nearby.
You can email email@example.com with your questions and comments.
