NASA Makes Unprecedented Return to Mars, Advances Commercial Spaceflight and Adds to its Amazing Research and Discoveries in 2012
In 2012, NASA continued to implement America's ambitious space exploration program, landing the most sophisticated rover on the surface of Mars, carrying out the first-ever commercial mission to the International Space Station and advancing the systems needed to send humans deeper into space.
"NASA achieved historic milestones this year landing the most sophisticated rover on the surface of Mars, carrying out the first-ever commercial mission to the space station and continuing to advance the systems needed to send humans deeper into space -- beyond the moon, to an asteroid and on to Mars," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. "We are able to keep the United States the world leader in space exploration -- and continue to implement America's bipartisan space plan -- because of our talented and dedicated work force."

Curiosity Lands
NASA Lands Car-Size Rover Beside Martian Mountain
Undertaking the most complex landing ever attempted in planetary exploration, NASA successfully placed its most advanced robotic rover yet on Mars. The Mars Science Laboratory mission, carrying the one-ton rover named Curiosity, touched down in August. Almost immediately, Curiosity sent back pictures of its landing site at Gale Crater with the eventual destination of Mount Sharp in the background. Since then, Curiosity has checked out its 10 science instruments, sent back detailed photos and weather observations and "tasted" Martian soil.

Commercial Space
NASA Advances Commercial Spaceflight, Helps Make History
A Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) Dragon spacecraft successfully resupplied the International Space Station and returned cargo back to Earth in October, completing NASA's first contracted cargo delivery flight.
Under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract, SpaceX will fly at least 12 cargo missions to the space station through 2016. The Dragon launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 882 pounds of cargo, including crew supplies, scientific research and hardware. Dragon returned almost twice that amount of cargo, including a freezer packed with research samples collected in the orbiting laboratory's unique microgravity environment. These samples will help advance multiple scientific disciplines on Earth and provide critical data on the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body. The ability to return frozen samples is a first for this flight and will be tremendously beneficial to the station's research community. Not since the space shuttle have NASA and its international partners been able to return considerable amounts of research and samples for analysis.

International Space Station
Space Station Fully Operational with New Research and Technology Testing
NASA and its international partners celebrated 12 years of permanent human habitation on the International Space Station on Nov. 2. More than 1,500 research and technology development experiments have been conducted aboard the orbiting lab -- more than 200 of them this year alone -- many of which are producing advances in medicine, environmental systems and our understanding of the universe.

Ice Sheet Loss
Ice Sheet Loss at Both Poles Increasing
An international team of experts supported by NASA and the European Space Agency combined data from multiple satellites and aircraft to produce the most comprehensive and accurate assessment to date of ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica and their contributions to sea level rise.
The combined rate of melting for the ice sheets covering Greenland and Antarctica increased during the last 20 years. Together, these ice sheets are losing more than three times as much ice each year as they were in the 1990s. About two-thirds of the loss is coming from Greenland, with the rest from Antarctica.
The study, announced in November, was produced by an international collaboration -- the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise -- that combined observations from 10 satellite missions to develop the first consistent measurement of polar ice sheet changes. Satellite data from NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) and the NASA/German Aerospace Center's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) missions were included in the study.
This activity was a major challenge involving cutting-edge, difficult research to produce the most rigorous and detailed estimates of ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica to date.

Hubble Discoveries
NASA's Hubble Provides First Census of Galaxies Near Cosmic Dawn
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers announced Dec. 12 that they have seen further back in time than ever before and have uncovered a previously unseen population of seven primitive galaxies that formed more than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 3 percent of its present age. The deepest images to date from Hubble yield the first statistically robust sample of galaxies that tells how abundant they were close to the era when galaxies first formed.

Space Technology Program Sharpens Cutting-Edge Technologies
NASA's Space Technology Program is innovating, developing, testing, and flying technology for use in NASA's future missions and by the greater aerospace community. With more than 800 projects under way, many of which are partnering with universities and industry, the program continues to meet milestones and advance NASA's technology capabilities.
This year, NASA's Space Technology Program launched and successfully demonstrated a hypersonic inflatable reentry vehicle, proving that inflatable heat shields are viable for safely slowing large-mass payloads during their fiery entry through planetary atmospheres, like those of Earth or Mars.
NASA continues to invest in and create new enabling robotic technologies that aid in future exploration while also having applications here one Earth, potentially helping paraplegics walk and aiding in other medical rehabilitation efforts. Investments in improved woven thermal protection systems also made strides this year using commercially available 3-D weaving techniques, reducing life cycle costs and allowing for sustainable and scalable space missions.

WISE Mission Sees Skies Ablaze with Blazars
Astronomers announced in April they were actively hunting a class of supermassive black holes throughout the universe called blazars thanks to data collected by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The mission revealed more than 200 blazars to date with the potential for finding thousands more.
Blazars are among the most energetic objects in the universe. They consist of supermassive black holes actively "feeding," or pulling matter onto them, at the cores of giant galaxies. As the matter is dragged toward the supermassive hole, some of the energy is released in the form of jets traveling at nearly the speed of light. The findings ultimately will help researchers understand the extreme physics behind super-fast jets and the evolution of supermassive black holes in the early universe.

Hands-On Learning
NASA Provides Hands-On Learning Opportunities
NASA's 2012 Summer of Innovation program provided summer learning opportunities to students and teachers. The program reached approximately 42,000 students in grades 4-9 across the country, many of whom fell within the agency's target audience of underrepresented and underserved students. The program also provided professional development for more than 3,200 middle school teachers nationwide to help them improve their ability to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM, content in the classroom.
Musician will.i.am brought his talents to NASA's education efforts in 2012, attending several events associated with the Curiosity landing on Mars. He even premiered a song, "Reach for the Stars," played back from the rover on the Red Planet.

Seeing Interstellar Matter
NASA Spacecraft Reveals New Observations of Interstellar Matter
NASA announced in January its Interstellar Boundary Explorer spacecraft captured the best and most complete glimpse yet of what lies beyond the solar system -- observations that show our solar system is different than the space right outside it. The new measurements give clues about how and where our solar system formed, the forces that physically shape our solar system and the history of other stars in the Milky Way.

Ice on Mercury
Spacecraft Finds New Evidence for Ice on Mercury
NASA's MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft provided compelling support for the long-held hypothesis the planet harbors abundant water ice and other frozen volatile materials within its permanently shadowed polar craters.
The spacecraft's onboard instruments have been studying Mercury in unprecedented detail since its historic arrival there in March 2011. Scientists are seeing clearly for the first time a chapter in the story of how the inner planets, including Earth, acquired their water and some of the chemical building blocks for life.
The new data announced in December indicated the water ice in Mercury's polar regions, if spread over an area the size of Washington, D.C., would be more than 2 miles thick. Given its proximity to the sun, Mercury would seem to be an unlikely place to find ice, however; there are pockets at the planet's poles that never see sunlight.

Looking to the Future
The Future of NASA on Mars
On Dec. 4, NASA announced plans for a robust multi-year Mars program, including a new robotic science rover based on the Curiosity design set to launch in 2020. The plans include:
-- The Curiosity and Opportunity rovers
-- Two NASA spacecraft and contributions to one European spacecraft currently orbiting Mars
-- The 2013 launch of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN, or MAVEN, orbiter to study the Martian upper atmosphere
-- The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, or InSight, mission, which will take the first look into the deep interior of Mars
-- Participation in the European Space Agency's 2016 and 2018 ExoMars missions, including providing "Electra" telecommunication radios to ESA's 2016 mission, and a critical element of the premier astrobiology instrument on the 2018 ExoMars rover.
The 2020 mission responds to high-priority science goals and the president's challenge of sending humans to Mars orbit in the 2030s.
Curiosity's Mission
The Car-Sized Rover's Mission on the Red Planet
Key mission findings during the first three months after the landing include:
-- conglomerate rocks bearing rounded pebbles as evidence of vigorous ancient stream flow right in the area where Curiosity landed
-- mineral composition of Martian soil similar to soils in Hawaii that contain volcanic glass
-- the first assessment of the natural radiation environment that future astronauts will encounter on the surface of Mars.
Curiosity will spend two years exploring and assessing its Martian surroundings as a potential habitat for life, past or present. In addition, the landing technology for putting such a large payload safely on the Martian surface could help with plans for future human Mars missions.

Commercial Crew Integrated Capability
NASA Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap)
With commercial cargo flights to the space station under way in 2012, NASA took the next steps in the effort to launch Americans from U.S. soil again. The agency announced in August new agreements with three American commercial companies to design and develop the next generation of U.S. human spaceflight capabilities, enabling a launch of astronauts from the United States in the next five years.
Advances made by these companies under Space Act Agreements through the agency's Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) initiative are intended to ultimately lead to the availability of commercial human spaceflight services for government and commercial customers. The CCiCap partners are the Sierra Nevada Corporation, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), and The Boeing Company.
Video: NASA's Commercial Crew Program
NASA's Commercial Crew Program
CCiCap is an initiative of NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP) and an administration priority. The objective of the CCP is to facilitate the development of a U.S. commercial crew space transportation capability with the goal of achieving safe, reliable and cost-effective access to and from the International Space Station and low-Earth orbit. Between now and May 31, 2014, NASA's partners will perform tests and mature integrated designs. This would then set the stage for a future activity that will launch crewed orbital demonstration missions to low-Earth orbit by the middle of the decade.
Orbital Antares
Orbital Antares
SpaceX is one of two companies that built and tested new cargo spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. SpaceX completed its final demonstration test flight in May, becoming the first commercial company ever to launch, rendezvous and be docked to the International Space Station. Orbital Sciences is the other company participating in COTS. Orbital's Antares launch vehicle is on the launch pad at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia in advance of a hot fire test of the Antares first-stage engines. A flight test of the Antares with a simulated Cygnus spacecraft and a demonstration flight of Cygnus to the space station are planned for 2013.

International Space Station Time-Lapse Photography
From high above the Earth, the International Space Station provides a unique vantage point to view our home planet. Stunning time-lapse photography of cities, aurora, lightning and other sights are seen from orbit. Famed astronomer Galileo imagined these views from space and now through the technological marvel of the space station, we can see them for ourselves.
Living in Orbit
Living in Orbit
Human research studies have shown that using the station's Advanced Resistive Exercise Device for high-intensity workouts, in combination with proper diets, helps astronauts lose less bone density during their stay. This could have profound effects on future space exploration, as well as the aging population on Earth. Plant-growth studies are often on the menu, as the ability to grow plants in microgravity would allow for fresh food, oxygen generation and carbon dioxide removal. This research also could help improve crop production on the ground.
New Research Projects
New Research Projects
Several new facilities delivered to the station this year allow for an array of new research projects:
-- The Japanese Experiment Module Small Satellite Orbital Deployer changes the way mini satellites now can be deployed to their optimal orbit, allowing for greater flexibility, operational control and significant monetary savings.
-- The Aquatic Habitat received its first inhabitants, translucent Medaka fish, allowing for easy observation of their skeletal systems, which gives more insight into radiation effects, as well as bone and muscle atrophy, which are medical issues for astronauts and the aging population.
-- A Gravitational Biology Lab allows for biological experimentation in artificial gravity -- from zero gravity to twice Earth's normal gravity -- for prolonged periods of time. This facility provides environmental control, lighting, data transfer, commanding and observation of experiments in Mars and moon gravity conditions, as well as mimicking Earth's gravity. The centrifuge is useful for biological organism research and could lead to advances in medications and vaccines, agricultural controls and discoveries in genetics -- all beneficial to people on Earth.
Heat Shield for Orion
Understanding the Heat Shield
The Orion at Kennedy will launch on Exploration Flight Test-1, an uncrewed mission planned for 2014. The spacecraft will travel 3,600 miles above the Earth's surface, 15 times farther than the International Space Station's orbital position. The primary flight objective is to understand Orion's heat shield performance at speeds generated during a return from deep space.
Space Launch System
NASA's New Engines and Rockets
NASA and its industry partners around the country also made swift progress on the Space Launch System (SLS) this year, testing and developing new components and improving on existing hardware. New construction on the largest rocket ever built is enabled by existing, proven technology, like the space shuttle main engines that will power the first stage of the rocket. The new J-2X engine, which is targeted to power the upper stage of the rocket, underwent a battery of tests that broke duration records and pushed the engine design to its limits.
The Orion, SLS, and Ground Systems Development and Operations programs also reached their critical milestones this year each with an approved system requirement review and system definition review. Those pivotal steps allowed these programs to move from concept into its preliminary design phase and all remain on target for its first flight test in 2017.
Video: Critical Milestones Reached
Pivotal Steps Made
The Orion capsule that will make the first flight test into space was celebrated on Monday, July 2, as the cornerstone of a new era of exploration for America's space program. The spacecraft's aluminum-alloy crew pressure module arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, June 29, where it will be built up into a fully functioning spacecraft ahead of a test flight slated for 2014.
Hubble's Greater Depth
Hubble's Greater Depth
The greater depth of the new Hubble images, together with a carefully designed survey strategy, allows this work to go further than previous studies, thereby providing what researchers say is the first reliable galaxy census of this epoch. Notably, one of the galaxies may be a distance record breaker, observed 380 million years after the birth of our universe in the theorized big bang.
Looking deeper into the universe also means peering further back in time. The universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years old. The newly discovered galaxies are seen as they looked 350 to 600 million years after the big bang. Their light is just arriving at Earth now.

NASA Researches the 'FaINT' Side of Sonic Booms
Following a series of research flights last year, NASA engineers in 2012 poured over information they gathered from residents near Edwards Air Force Base in California to see how well they did in generating sonic booms with NASA's F/A-18 jet that could barely be heard on the ground. The Waveforms and Sonic boom Perception and Response, or WSPR, project gathered data from a select group of more than 100 volunteers. A final report on the study is due soon.
Another phase of this research began in 2012 with the Farfield Investigation of No Boom Threshold, or FaINT. Using NASA's F/A-18 supersonic jet, project researchers will try to better understand what's happening at the very edge of the sonic boom, or just beyond.
Digital Media Teams Working Together
NASA Social and NASA.gov Set Records
NASA's online media teams provided live coverage of several major agency events and milestones, including this year's historic SpaceX launches to the International Space Station, the Transit of Venus and the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars. In each event, the agency shattered records for new levels of online engagement with live updates of each event that reached millions, and in the case of Curiosity -- billions, of people.
During the August Mars Curiosity rover landing, NASA's website received 15 million visits and sent out 36 million webcast streams of NASA TV, breaking records that had just been set during the Venus Transit (4.2 million website visits, 7.7 million webcast streams). In October, Curiosity checked-in on Foursquare from Gale Crater, making it the first time a check-in has happened on another planet. The two events contributed to record traffic to the site, 185 million visits through Nov. 30, up from 151 million for 2011.
NASA Goes Mobile
NASA Goes Mobile and Wins the Government Webbys
For the first time, visits to NASA.gov from mobile devices contributed a significant amount of traffic, totaling more than 10 percent of all visits. The site was honored with its fifth People's Voice Webby for best government site, and for the first time received the judges' Webby award as well. NASA.gov also was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 50 Best Websites of 2012.
NASA transitioned our in-person social media events from NASA Tweetups to NASA Socials, included more social media platforms and held the agency's first multi-NASA center social for Curiosity's landing. NASA's social media teams held 16 events, bringing more than 1,000 people into NASA and other facilities.
The agency also worked to integrated social media into more daily news processes than ever before. From inviting social media followers to participate in NASA news briefings and events to being able to virtually attend events held for news media, such as the Orion capsule arrival at Kennedy Space Center in July. NASA also offered more than a dozen opportunities to ask questions of agency officials using #askNASA, including in several Google+ Hangouts, providing additional direct interaction points between the public and NASA.

IBEX Spacecraft Observes Matter from Interstellar Space
A great magnetic bubble surrounds the solar system as it cruises through the galaxy. The sun pumps the inside of the bubble full of solar particles that stream out to the edge until they collide with the material that fills the rest of the galaxy, at a complex boundary called the heliosheath. On the other side of the boundary, electrically charged particles from the galactic wind blow by, but rebound off the heliosheath, never to enter the solar system. Neutral particles, on the other hand, are a different story. They saunter across the boundary as if it weren't there, continuing on another 7.5 billion miles for 30 years until they get caught by the sun's gravity, and sling shot around the star.
There, NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer lies in wait for them. Known as IBEX for short, this spacecraft methodically measures these samples of the mysterious neighborhood beyond our home. IBEX scans the entire sky once a year, and every February, its instruments point in the correct direction to intercept incoming neutral atoms. IBEX counted those atoms in 2009 and 2010 and has now captured the best and most complete glimpse of the material that lies so far outside our own system.
The results? It's an alien environment out there: the material in that galactic wind doesn't look like the same stuff our solar system is made of.

Sally Ride Recalls 'Spectacular View' of Earth From Orbit
In a space agency filled with trailblazers, Sally K. Ride was a pioneer of a different sort. The soft-spoken California physicist broke the gender barrier 29 years ago when she rode to orbit aboard space shuttle Challenger to become America's first woman in space.
"Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism – and literally changed the face of America's space program," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and the many she inspired. She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly."

Neil Armstrong: 1930 - 2012
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, died on Aug. 25 following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. He was 82.
Armstrong's words "That is one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind," spoken on July 20, 1969, as he became the first person ever to step onto another planetary body, instantly became a part of history.
Those few words from the Sea of Tranquillity were the climactic fulfillment of the efforts and hopes of millions of people and the expenditure of billions of dollars. A plaque on one of the lander's legs that concluded "We came in peace for all mankind," further emphasized that Armstrong and fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin were there as representatives of all humans.
In a 2001 oral history interview, Armstrong credited those behind the scenes for the mission's success: "when you have hundreds of thousands of people all doing their job a little better than they have to, you get an improvement in performance. And that's the only reason we could have pulled this whole thing off."

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Room for improvementIn full: I have ran the Lakeland race series twice and have always thought them to be well organised and good fun. However their first attempt at staging a marathon left much to be desired. I only do trail running and this was a fairly tough course catching many people out with rocks, tree roots and other obstacles that required you to hop skip and jump over with very tired legs. Certainly in many places it was quite technical. I witnessed many stubbed toes and trips/falls. A better course description would have been useful to many rather than the slide show. For the entry fee i felt they could have done better than just 4 drinks stns over 25/26miles and if as some have said there was no water at the end then thats unforgivable. The Tshirt was excellent as they always are but the medal was not engraved with the event on it. Definitely felt the race to be overpriced for what it was, however with improvements it can get better. You do get stunning scenery and there is always a good buzz around the finish area of Lakeland Trail races and the people at the drinks stns were friendly. Doubt i will run it again as currently there are many more better trail marathons around. Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: You crawl up, You fly downIn full: Steep climbs, mud and plenty of fun in a very strange way!! Can not fault the organisation from the Marshalls to the baggage collection and of course te cakes!Date of review: January 25, 2011
In full: Ran this last year and find it to be a good event. Very well sign posted which is handy because at the "Sargent Major's" briefing he threatened to take anyone to spec savers if they got lost!! One gripe for me tho is there is far too much road involved, otherwise a good undulating course with a couple of steep climbs in the forest, have to be patient with the stiles, gates ect. Was none to impressed at the third water stn when told to wait a few mins whilst they were getting more water!! also the last water stn is 5miles from the finish which is quite a way to go still, thank heavens for the man with the hose watering his garden with about 2miles to go! Finish area is ok and friendly but i watched numerous runners finish to silence which is a bit disappointing. Its a good race tho and will probably do it again next year.Date of review: August 16, 2010
In short: Good long Trail race with superb MarshallingIn full: As Trail races go i thought the hills were ok and mostly runnable, certainly not the "hands on knees" as in some other Trail races. The descents however had me holding back at times and strangely to me there seemed to be more Downs than Ups. Lots of pleasant running through woods with a pretty good surface all the way round, if it was not for the numerous stiles, gates and narrow paths you can push on at quite a good pace. I liked the idea of running a lap of the field at the start to spread the field out as the race path soon narrowed. The real plus for me tho was the marshalling, they popped up everywhere and offered genuine encouragement, ive never seen so many and all were really friendly and did an excellent job. The organisation was good as was the goody bag, cakes and feed stations. Big Thanks to all those involved with putting this race on. Date of review: June 21, 2010
In short: Big Hills, Rocky underfoot. Hot, Tough, Loved it!In full: 2nd time at this and 2nd time ended up in the medical tent (thanks to the medic guy for his help)cut to bits having fallen!A lovely race with a good atmosphere helped by good weather, people, marshalls and everyone is always friendly, a very different feel to road racing. The organisation is good tho more loos please! There are tough climbs and it is very rocky for large parts underfoot, glad the grass was shorter to the run in this year! One request, with the new start this year im sure the course was about a mile longer, if anyone measured it on their Garmin could they post the actual distance on here please, ta. Target for next year to stay upright for the whole race and run up the Coffin trail, ha!Date of review: April 28, 2010
In short: A polce escort to the start - fantasticIn full: Thanks to Overton Harriers, marshalls and the Police for excellent organisation and a very friendly race.With the exception of two climbs this race felt like it was downhill pretty much all the way making it a very fast trail race, kept thinking their must be another hill around the corner but there was not. Thoroughly enjoyed it, good weather tho the wind up at Combe Gibbet ensures a quick getaway! Look forward to doing this one again - thanks Date of review: April 12, 2010
In short: Nothing like a spot of hill training!!In full: Most enjoyable race with some steep climbs, the course profile sent to you gives a very good idea of what to expect! Lovely scenery all the way round with friendly marshalls. Generally a well organised race which i would do againDate of review: March 17, 2010
In short: A good fast trail ace with a good feel about itIn full: For a trail race this was quite a fast course. Underfoot was good most places hard packed and well trodden. No mud and only one serious short steep climb. A good introduction to trail racing. A good setting with an excellent club house food/drink/showers ect. This race has a good feel about it and i had a dreadful run!Date of review: September 29, 2009
In short: Tough course, excelent organisation/marshalling, lovely sceneryIn full: Found this tough but very enjoyable, mostly run through the woods with plenty of ups and downs, managed to run it all tho. couple of steep climbs and descents and plenty of mud. only niggle were the road bits, first one seemed quite long, excellent marshalling they were everywhere and good signs, would do it again.Date of review: August 2, 2009
In short: Completely inadequate signs and marshalling for such distancesIn full: I can not believe how poorly this course was marked out. More than once we had to stop at intersections with no signs or marshalls. At approx 9m myself and another runner became completely lost in the woods, eventually two became around 15 runners standing around lost. Eventually found our way out and ended up running 18.6 miles instead of 15m, never found one check point at all and at the finish could not see any water. A serious situation could have developed if a lost runner had become injured in the woods, thankfully i dont think this happened. Whilst the scenery is stunning and the people friendly this is a race organised by a non running group, The Rotary club i believe. Would not do this race again.Date of review: July 21, 2009

Summer officially here
It is June and that means it is officially summer for many of us who have survived the endless winter. With the warm weather, so comes the tourist season. Every day we get people into the Chamber Office looking for things to do in the west end and we've gotten our new brochures, maps, and rack cards.
If you know of something going on, stop in and let us know, drop off your information and let us send some of these people through your doors.
Speaking of what's going on, the Town-Wide Rummage Sale and West end Weekend are coming up this week. If you stop by the Chamber this week you can get a listing of the over 40 rummage sales being held. Along with that, we will have the list of the businesses that are holding their own customer appreciation sales or discounts for those people out and about. Get out, get moving, and get shopping.
Also coming up this week is the highly anticipated Sportsman's Triathlon, which coordinated by our members and businesses, Straightline Archery, Wawonowin Country Club and the Negaunee Rod and Gun Club. We expect the west end to be bustling as families come up with the participants and see what the west end has to offer. Not going to be a participant in the Sportsman's Triathlon? You can still participate and support the area nonprofits with the Sportsman's Side Events. You can try the Army Strong Challenge for the Camp Cuervo Archery Club, X-Factor Pop Up Archery Challenge to benefit the Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter,and Shoot Out Cancer that will give the proceeds to Cancer Care of Marquette County.
We are also gearing up and getting the word out for the 4th of July Festivities that will take place in Michigamme, Ishpeming and Negaunee. Check the Facebook pages for details on the parades, golf outing, the Ishpeming Festival of Treasures, the Ishpeming Community Picnic and the second year for Party in the Park WEST (that features nine bounce houses from 2-8 p.m.), the GO BIG FOR KIDS Fun Run, Negaunee Community Picnic, Alumni Softball Tournaments, and the Blue Notes shows.and this is just a partial list.
Finally, I'd like to send a congratulations go out to the Gossard Building for being placed on the state and federal registry for historic places. Similar goes out to the downtown Ishpeming Businesses that are beginning their MEDC Faade Improvement Grant and for seeing the end of construction.
With the streets being paved within the next week, I am excited to see how well the 4th of July Festivities will bring people back to the downtown.
As always, I'll leave you with the reminder that you can stay up to date by liking the Chamber on facebook or visiting our website www.gincc.org. You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com if you want to be added to our email list and search your mobile app store for GINCC Directory and download the free app featuring all of our great businesses.

Current Finest Possible Set Rating

View Set Composition
( Shop )
This set has always been a favorite, but with some of the recent sales records it's obvious that collectors are taking it to an even higher level of appreciation. The year 2001 has already seen an 1886 (type two) in PCGS PR66RD sell for $57,500! It's not only the ultra-rare 1864-L that's a major challenge. Today, there are collectors vying for every date in the series with an ardor that is unprecedented. These are beautiful and historic coins with small mintages, relatively low survival rates and an inclination to become spotty and/or cloud up. Another great (and fun) challenge!

so....... any claims on "health hazards of tea" are based only on Eastern Medicine knowledge - by which some tea sometimes makes a disturbance in the yin-yang
You can give me any kind of "failure" by western medicine and i can show you (most of the time) that the bad application was discontinued because it was harming people(such as thalidomide+pregnancy), eg science evolves and develops forward. (also i'll show you that whatever 'medicine' the bleeding person was taking, its 'prescribed' use won't stop.)
On the other hand i'm curious: what doctor you recommend to a person with heart attack ... east or west?
like the coasts of the USA, West(LA...me) meets the East(NYC...which i kinda like more than LA...except that i cant find many tea stores)

Many people look for natural allergy relief for dogs because they worry about the side effects common to more aggressive medications such as steroids. Pet owners have a right to be concerned about side effects such as heart and kidney damage, but finding natural allergy relief that works for all dogs can be difficult.
Some holistic veterinarians suggest essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega 6. Regular use of these supplements reduces histamine response to allergens and conditions the skin to reduce itching. These can be effective treatments for some pets, but they work in less than half of the animals that take them. These also have to be taken continuously or the allergy symptoms will quickly return.
Prevention vs. Treatment in Natural Allergy Relief for Dogs
Other forms of natural allergy relief for dogs focus on relieving the symptoms after they appear. Weekly baths with colloidal oatmeal shampoos and natural skin lotions that reduce the inflammation and painful itching are a wonderful way to treat allergies once they strike, but what about preventing allergies?
The only way to prevent allergies in dogs is to minimize exposure to allergens. Our article on Allergy Control for Pets can give you some tips for minimizing exposure and controlling the environment your dog is in. The only purely natural allergy relief for dogs that works year round is prevention – and the best continuous form of prevention is the PetAirapy system! By filtering out or neutralizing pollens, dust mites, molds and other contaminants, the PetAirapy system prevents your dog from inhaling allergens in your home.
I guess our moms were right – an ounce of prevention really IS worth a pound of cure! And the PetAirapy filtration system is the most effective preventative, natural allergy relief for dogs available.

Some people are prone to getting motion sickness when traveling by car, boat or plane and the same problem can arise for pets.
According to PetMD.com, puppies are more prone to getting motion sickness because their equilibriums don't fully develop until they've matured. As they age, these dogs may even outgrow the problem altogether. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that motion sickness can occur in pets of any age and is related to irregular motion on the delicate balance mechanisms of the middle ear. Motion sickness can also be more of a behavioral or psychological problem. For example, if a pet had a bad travel experience as a youngster, travel may trigger anxiety and motion sickness throughout life.
VCA reports signs of motion sickness may include restlessness, salivation and vomiting. PetMD.com reports that pets may lick their lips nonstop, cry or whine in distress and in extreme cases may even urinate or defecate in the vehicle.
VCA suggests that owners try keeping a window partially open so their pet can get fresh air. Allowing a pet to sit properly restrained in the passenger seat may also help to curb the sick feelings as well.
According to PetMD, if this problem occurs regularly, an owner should bring his or her dog to the veterinarian health clinic to have it examined. The vet may recommend training tools to help stop the travel or car-related anxiety. In some cases, medications may be prescribed in order to help a pet relax and travel without distress.

From the children:
I loved sailing with you. I liked it when I turned the wheel and pulled the ropes for the sails. i enjoyed sailing with you.
Love, Abby
I really liked sailing with you. It was really fun. Being towed around was fun too. I can't wait until I can go sailing again. Thank you for everything.
Sincerely, Sean
Going sailing was a lot of fun. You gave me lots of information about how much a sailboat costs, and what happens during a race, and how fast it goes. I hope I can go sailing again, when my dad comes home.
Sincerely, Danielle
Thank you for going sailing with me. I loved going fast on the boat. It's cool that someone who can't see could go sailing. I loved when we were telling stories about when I went on a boat last year. I liked being called Captain Joy. It was fun going sailing.
Your Friend,Joy
I want to say thank you for taking me sailing. It was fun being able to sail the boat. I loved being in the water and seeing the different parts of the boat. The best part was me steering the boat by myself. Thank you again. I had a great time.
Sincerely, Darren
From all of us at Challenged America, we are glad you had fun, come back to sail with us soon, and, thank you, that's why we volunteer

I was surprised how well this works for new scars, and old stretch marks!!!
Posted by Reviewer3073280 on Nov 01, 2011
This year I started experimenting with various "solutions" to encouraging old stretch marks to fade. Since I've been getting into natural healing (both inside and out) as a hobby I was curious to experiment with some recommended solutions I'd read about. I tried using: - organic coconut oil - camphor oil + castor oil Those seemed to help flatten and fade stretch marks to some degree. However, when I tried this "Derma E scar gel" I was surprised that the small stretch marks became almost invisible - I'd say about 90% invisible (compared to 60% invisible)... And that larger ones became very flat and started fading as well.. only about 1 week of use. (compares to 3 months of use of castor oil + camphor oil with much more minimal improvements). I was so impressed that I started putting some on some old small scars on my leg from an accident - just as an experiment. I've had about 4 small scars from an accident when I was 11 and 2 of them are a bit "puffy".. I was surprised that they flattened down and less noticeable. So I can definitely say I REALLY LOVE THIS STUFF and I plan to use it for an extended period and monitor just how much the stretch marks improve. Now if I have a mark on my face from a pimple or a scratch on my legs, I use this and it really accelerates healing. The only thing I dislike is that I cannot find larger jars on iHerb. I ordered 3 more jars of this stuff after I went through 1 jar. I highly recommend this as part of anyone's beauty treatment .. to have in case they get a spots they want to fade, or scars (old or new) they want to heal well etc.
Highly recommended!
Posted by Reviewer2430632 on Dec 08, 2008
This works extremely well. I had surgery and my scar was turning into a keloid scar, puffed up and bright red. My MD suggested I start using Neosporin scar remover (I am not sure if that is the real name). I couldn't find that anywhere where I live. So, I bought the Derma E Scar Gel and started using it. I chose it because all of the other over the counter scar gels had a lot of extraneous chemicals in them. The puffiness has gone away and it is losing the red color. I don't put it on as often as instructed and it is still working!
Cooling effect, adds moisture and elasticity!
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013
I use this gel on my face after sunbathing. It has a cooling effect and seems to add moisture and elasticity. I also used it on my scars from laparoscopy and they healed really fast! It contains onion extract which has antibacterial properties and allantoin which makes the skin supple. Very effective gel at a very good price! Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
takes time...but it works
Posted by Reviewer2111695 on Jun 05, 2009
I've been using this product for about six months now and it is definitely working for me. Keep in mind, when you are using any product to fade any scars, you have to exfoliate as well. I use the derma e microdermabrasion scrub inconjuction with this product and it works. I actually starting seeing results in a month.
So far helps alleviate some scar problems
Posted by Reviewer1002357 on Dec 05, 2009
I used for 2 weeks noticed difference after getting surgery scars. This helped with the stress of the skin and tension keloiding problems + hypertrophic skin scars. This product may make a significant difference and really benefit the skin if used long term. I noticed if rubbed into the skin deeply penetrating, massaging into area decreases color and the skin feels rejuvenated. I would use this over the scar zone and mederma junk you buy from the stores. This stuff is natural and less expensive. May clear up simple scars in short time at all and larger more prominent in a few months. Start treatings scars the sooner the better. Scars that are older and matured are harder to treat than fresh scars. Talking within the first years of larger scarring.
Posted by Reviewer1529913 on May 03, 2012
I bought it twice! There was a lot of trouble on my face, now I have clear face!!
Derma E Loves My Skin!
Posted by Reviewer2446165 on Mar 18, 2008
This product really smoothes my skin's texture. It also fades scars quite well, from older to more recent. It also smells great and moisturizes lightly. Fine product!
Works great on ACNE MARKS
Posted by SugarDumplin on Apr 25, 2014
I use this twice a day for dark marks on my tan skin left by acne. It wears well under my makeup (both powder & liquid), it doesnt ball up or cake. I also use it at night before bed and if I wake up in the night (which happens often with 3 kids, then i apply again. It could be used more during the day, but once I do my makeup for the day, I tend not to wash it off until bedtime. It softly fades and peels the damaged skin. I am NEVER without.
Really works
Posted by MGG-ThreeTwoFour on Jul 22, 2015
I purchased this for my hysterectomy scar that goes from above my navel to my pubic line. It was dark red and always itching. A friend recommended Derma E Scar Gel. I've been using it twice a day for 3 months and have noticed a remarkable difference. The scar is now pink and has not itched in weeks. I highly recommend this product to anyone trying to heal their scars. ** For new customers of iHerb, please also visit my page for more product reviews **
Works great
Posted by SHL-FiveSevenTwo on Jul 26, 2014
I bought it for my kids with scar marks on hands and face. It works great after half bottle. See the huge difference, scar marks are lighter and smoothed. No redness. It's pretty big jar and therefore relatively much cheaper than other brands. Also like the natural ingredients. Will continue use it for second bottle. ** For new customers of iHerb, please also visit my page for more product reviews **

Looking At Nokia's Options After Siemens
Nokia has offered Siemens of 1.7 billion euro ($2.22 billion) for Siemens' 50% stake in their joint venture called Nokia Siemens Network. Pending regulatory approval, the deal is expected to close in this year's third quarter. Nokia will own 100% of the business, which is expected to take on a new name.
Before we continue, allow me to address a point: There are now reports suggesting that Nokia's 1.7 billion euro offer to Siemens is actually under what would be fair market value for the NSN business. Nokia is perceived to be taking advantage of its partner. I disagree.
As I pointed out recently, this deal was not a surprise. It was just a matter of time before it (or a deal similar) was announced, even though NSN had grown quickly to become a worthwhile threat to the services offered by Ericsson
Because of the growth that NSN experienced over the past couple of years, Siemens anticipated there would be more interest from would-be buyers for its share of the business. The market didn't oblige. Given Cisco's
Complicating matters was the fact that the NSN business is coming off a pretty terrible quarter, during which NSN suffered a surprising 5% drop in first-quarter sales (reported in April), which also declined 30% sequentially.
Now, I'm just speculating here, but it wouldn't surprise me to know that customers developed some anxiety over Siemens' perceived lack of commitment to the NSN business.
Consequently, during these past three months no one stepped up to offer Siemens a better deal. Surprisingly, neither Ericsson nor Huawei showed any interest, either. So without any leverage, Siemens had no choice but to accept Nokia's offer on the basis of Siemens' own miscalculation and public statements.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Timing Is Everything
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- How do you sell a stock that's doing great and sell one that's doing poorly? Jim Cramer asked his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Monday as he talked about the rotation currently underway in the markets.
Cramer said that for some investors, such as Warren Buffett, buying and selling stocks isn't a matter of timing the market but a matter of choosing great companies that represent great value and just owning them for the long term. But for other investors, like those managing hedge funds and mutual funds, timing is everything.
That's why as the market begins selling the "slow and steady" stocks like those owned by Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway
Cramer said money managers can't afford to just have "good" stocks in their portfolios, they need great ones, ones that will not only outperform the markets but also their peers. They must prove they're flexible and can change with the markets, he said, which is why the sexy stocks continue their march higher while those stocks doing well will continue to be just OK.
Every fund manager will eventually have to admit they're wrong and make the switch, Cramer concluded, and investors would be wise to follow suit ahead of their desperation buying.
Executive Decision: Mark Ellis
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Mark Ellis, chairman, president and CEO of Linn Energy
Ellis responded to the negative press by saying that two independent accounting firms have been combing the books at Linn for its recent acquisitions and both have valued the company between $35 to $42 a share, far more than the $18 a share Barron's implied. He also said Linn has never used "aggressive" accounting and the company's finances have never been challenged because Linn operates with total transparency.

The STC was issued as part of the agency's approval of Mansfield, Mass.-based NexAir's Saratoga NX aircraft revitalization program. Piper's PA-32-301 single engine light aircraft originally entered service in 1980.
R9 brings a page and tab user interface to the revamped flight deck, along with Avidyne's IFD5000 displays, 16-watt VHF NAV/COM radios and dual SBAS/LPV-capable GPS receivers among other avionics upgrades.
"The Saratoga NX is much more than your basic aircraft refurb. Rather than simply installing devices in a panel, we leverage our knowledge as engineers and pilots to integrate the avionics into the aircraft in a way that optimizes performance and ease-of-use," said David Fetherson, president of NexAir Avionics.

This document, Paths to Smart Grid Interoperability – Overview and Summary, presents key points of the full white paper, with emphasis on its recommendations. The outline structure used here follows the white paper structure, so readers seeking more detail on a specific topic can easily locate it in the white paper. Smart grid promises to transform the electricity industry, yielding benefits such as: 1) A more reliable and stable supply of electricity; 2) Increased efficiency of the immense investment in electric infrastructure; 3) Increased capability to integrate renewable sources of electricity; 4) Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
However, smart grid is currently a vision that can be realized only if its diverse elements are able to work together as a system. What do decision makers need to know to ensure that the current smart grid standards setting efforts lead to a highly interoperable grid that can ultimately transform the industry to deliver these benefits? This white paper examines the issues to help decision makers put the interoperability standards setting effort on the path to the envisioned industry transformation and the realization of these benefits.

Posted by AnnaLL on Apr 24, 2013
This is nice, but not what I expected. I thought it would be sweet and soft. It is not so sweet and you can melt it in warm water (put the jar in the warm water) or microwave it a bit.
good enough
Posted by Reviewer1621299 on Feb 28, 2012
this is good, got it because i liked the packets. i find though that i do not eat this so much as the convenient packets. will probably not buy again and stick with the travel packets.
Posted by Reviewer1023123 on Apr 24, 2012
I tried it to find out what all the great reviews were about.Im not impressed.
Its ok
Posted by Rosemary on Aug 14, 2012
It´s good but not great. Don´t expect chocolate like nutella though! I got tired of the flavor after some time.
Be aware of agave
Posted by Reviewer2568469 on Aug 16, 2012
I love the taste and consistence, but unfortunately for MY sugarlevel it was sweetened with agave. It made me crave sweets.
Posted by Reviewer3060686 on Oct 29, 2012
But I won't repurchase because the consistency is too hard, and heating the whole thing up everytime I use it becomes cumbersome. Lovely taste and ingredients though!
Not what I expected
Posted by 5568449681014944343 on Mar 20, 2013
This isn't smooth like I expected. It's more cakey and quite oily. I have it in a shake with almond milk and a banana. Even this way it's still a bit gritty but not too bad. Definitely not something I could eat by itself!
Not my favorite
Posted by 5530102213998206468 on Aug 03, 2013
May need to taste this several times. It`s not my favorite, but I think I can grow in to like it. It helps to know it is way more healty than other brands...
Posted by Paulette on Nov 02, 2013
La verdad es que el chocolate es bastante amargo. Aun así, me gusta mucho. Viene acompañada por aceite de coco. No obstante, es un sabor que no gusta a todo el mundo, así que recomiendo coger primero la opción pequeña de muestra. Lo único que me echa para atrás es que ahora, por el frío, está demasiado sólida y cuesta extenderse por la tostada.
Posted by 5477180848720987805 on Nov 06, 2013
Yummy but nothing special. You could just mix up agave syrup, coconut butter and cacao powder for the same taste. But when I don't have time, this does it.

As always, welcome one and all to the NewTeaDay, brew some tea and come share what is in your cup with all of us...all day.
Be sure to check out what is in everyone else's cup as well, either here or in the individual, specific tea forums ... it can be pretty amazing seeing all the different TeaTastes we have here on TC.
Today's Teapoll and discussion topic could be insightful and perhaps thought-provoking for some of us.
We are in another period of seasonal change ...
So, do your tea tastes change as the seasons change ... is it a natural progression, a conscious decision...subconscious. Have your tastes started to change maybe already with Spring in the air?
I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say today! Have a great TeaDay. Bottoms up!

BEIJING (AP) Every time a Russian boxer falls in these Olympics, a Chinese fighter rises. At this rate, the home team will soon be towering above amateur boxing's most fearsome squad.
Chinese light heavyweight Zhang Xiaoping upset Artur Beterbiev 8-2 on Thursday at Workers' Gymnasium, getting a few curious points from the judges but still controlling his preliminary-round fight with the latest Russian disappointment.
Chinese welterweight Hanati Silamu also beat overmatched Joseph Mulema of Cameroon 9-4 to advance within one victory of a medal.
China, which has never won a gold medal in a sport long banned by Mao, has seven boxers left in the tournament. Incredibly, that's the same number as Russia, the longtime amateur factory that won three titles and eight medals at last year's world championships.
The tournament has been hit by amateur boxing's customary litany of complaints about the judging, with most of the gripes coming from the opponents of Chinese fighters. But Beterbiev, who finished second in last year's championships, didn't score after the first round and seemed to have no strategy to beat his tall, long-armed opponent.
Zhang turned the fight into a hug-a-thon at times, but scored enough on the outside to win.
"I had the psychological advantage, because my opponent is stronger than me, so I have no pressure," Zhang said. "Secondly, my strategy is quite good. I took advantage of my height and kept distance from my opponent."
Beterbiev was the third Russian to get knocked out of the tournament in 20 hours, and welterweight Andrey Balanov faces another daunting test in the evening session when he takes on U.S. world champion Demetrius Andrade.
While Russia struggles, fellow power Cuba keeps chugging along with a young team gaining valuable experience. Welterweight Carlos Banteaux advanced with a 13-6 victory over Britain's Billy Joe Saunders.
Banteaux, who lost to Saunders earlier in the year, fought with precise strategy in the rematch, counter-punching and picking away at his eager teenage opponent. British coach Terry Edwards got frustrated with the scoring in the third round, but the scores reflected Banteaux's complete grasp of amateur boxing's idiosyncratic scoring for punches from multiple angles.
"I thought the scoring was a little bit inconsistent, especially in the third round," British coach Terry Edwards said. "It's not sour grapes. I think Billy did lose the bout, but what better place for him to get experience for (the London Games in) 2012."
Saunders' teammate, light heavyweight Tony Jeffries, opened his Olympics with a victory over Colombia's Eleider Alvarez in a fight that ended in a 5-all tie. Amateur boxing matches are then decided by the highest average of total punches landed, as scored by three of the five judges at ringside.
"It was a relief (because) it's been a long week and there's a lot of pressure on us," said Jeffries, who had a first-round bye. "The team's been so successful that it puts pressure on you to come through."
Unheralded Egyptian welterweight Hosam Abdin got the session off to a remarkable start with an 11-10 victory over Thailand's Non Boonjumnong, who finished second at last year's worlds. Abdin hung on in the final two rounds even after his coach was kicked out of his corner for being too vocal.
Boonjumnong's brother, Manus, will open the defense of his light welterweight gold medal in Athens in the evening session.
Croatian light heavyweight Marijo Sivolija-Jelica was trounced 8-1 by Tajikistan's Dzhakhon Kurbanov in Sivolija-Jelica's first bout since his opening-round opponent, Tonga's Farani Tavui, was taken from the ring on a stretcher after losing his equilibrium and collapsing.

Could I substitute All Trumps Bromated Bleached for the KASL in the recipe noted in Reply 1? If so, would it be an even swap or would I have to compensate one thing or another?
What type of "tweaking" do you speak of? Sorry, but I'm still new to all of this and trying to learn.
I'm curious how you would alter this for use with this flour?
Hey Pete-zza, that looks great.For the New Years Winter Ice Classic, Red Wings vs Hawks, I decided to do a side by side with olive oils. I used Classico, trader Joes extra virgin, and Lucini's (Red November's reccomendation via another thread). I have to say I was quite surprised, as the Lucini's was much chewier, with a near perfect bubbling. The others were good, but not up to the caliper of the Lucini's. Thanks for the great thread as this method has been a staple for me on my PizzaPro.Jake
Gees, I don't believe I'm resurrecting this subject considering it was in 2010 since someone last posted.

Fashionable Ponytail for Men
Creativeness comes when you can bring out a fancy hairdo out of a simple haircut. Like a true gentleman, this all-black long locks is ponytailed to tone down the aggressive layers surrounding the face, which is not left completely bare. A few pieces of fringe hang on the side to give you a soothing aroma. The body is made dense and the color black is deepened for rougher finish.

Kilim Seneh
A pileless floor covering handwoven by tapestry techniques in Anatolia, the Balkans, or parts of Iran. In the rest of Iran, the Caucasus, and Turkistan, the name for similar pieces is palaz. In most kilims, a slit occurs wherever two colours meet along a vertical line in the pattern, but in a few Karabagh or South Caucasian pieces, interlocking methods are employed in order to minimize these slits.The Turks have produced the largest kilims, usually in two narrow pieces joined, as well as small ones and a multitude of prayer kilims. As a prayer rug, which is carried about with the worshiper, the light and extremely flexible kilim offers obvious advantages. In Turkish kilims, cotton is often used for the white areas, and small details may be brocaded. The kilims of the southern Balkans began as close copies of Anatolian types but have gradually developed into individual styles, such as the black, red, and white kilims of Pirot. In Romania, also, there are varied local fashions, progressively less Oriental in colour and pattern as the distance from Turkey increases. The name kilim is also given to a variety of brocaded, embroidered, warp-faced, and other flat-woven rugs and bags.

Ha ha ha.... no its baked even... I place them like that before cooking because my Wife loves the jalepenos on her "side". I don't care for them that much on pizza.
You make pizza 10 o'clock in the morning, where do you live I want some.
