NASA Goddard network maintains communications from space to ground
Spending nearly a year in space, 249 miles from Earth, could be a lonely prospect, but an office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, made sure astronaut Scott Kelly could reach home for the entire 340-day duration of his mission. Not only could Kelly communicate with mission control in Houston, but Goddard's Network Integration Center connected him with reporters and even family. Reliable space-to-ground communication is critical to all missions - when astronauts venture outside the International Space Station to install new equipment and perform important maintenance, as well as for any other on-orbit needs.
Data collected in space, like video transmission of a spacewalk, travel as radio signals from antennas on spacecraft to much larger antennas on Earth, some with diameters up to 230 feet. From there, they travel via cables underground, or even under the ocean, to data centers around the world where scientists collect and analyze the data.
With hundreds of satellites operating in orbit around Earth and elsewhere in the solar system, it's easy to imagine that communication channels might become overwhelmed with data from the satellites. To prevent this, NASA manages and maintains three large communications networks. A spacecraft's distance from Earth decides which network it will use. Spacecraft in the far reaches of our solar system, such as New Horizons, just past Pluto, communicate via the Deep Space Network, while spacecraft closer to home, such as the ISS, use the Space Network or the Near Earth Network. Spacecraft utilizing the Space Network communicate using a constellation of geosynchronous Tracking and Data Relay Satellites known as TDRS. The Near Earth Network consists of ground-based stations located around the Earth. While the Space Network generally services spacecraft in low Earth orbit, the Near Earth Network can service spacecraft in low-Earth orbit, geosynchronous orbit and even in orbit around the moon.
The Space Communications and Navigation Program office is located at NASA Headquarters in Washington. Engineers and technicians at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, are primarily responsible for the management and operation of the Space Network and the Near Earth Network. The Deep Space Network is managed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Goddard's Network Integration Center (NIC) is the primary operations center for coordinating the communications for missions using the Near Earth Network and Space Network. Capabilities include robotic satellite missions as well as all human spaceflight missions. Service capabilities typically begin with the preflight testing of a spacecraft's communications systems prior to launch and culminates with the launch and initial in-orbit activities of the spacecraft.
Human spaceflight missions are the NIC's specialty. The center has been operational in one form or another since Project Mercury, NASA's first human spaceflight program. Maintaining communications with human-occupied spacecraft is essential for mission success regardless of whether it is in low-Earth orbit or beyond. Today the NIC is involved in all human space missions and regularly supports the ISS and the visiting cargo and crew transport vehicles that service the space station. The NIC will provide similar communication and navigation to the new commercial crew spacecraft being built by Boeing and SpaceX.
Communication and navigation for most spacecraft in low-Earth orbit is relatively straightforward, said Human Spaceflight Network Director Mark Severance, who manages the communications services from all networks during human spaceflight missions. Most low-Earth-orbit spacecraft connect with and maintain communications with one or two NASA communications networks. Future exploration missions will be more complicated.
"Typically when you fly a mission beyond Earth orbit, you launch and go around Earth a couple times, and you communicate through the Near Earth Network and the Space Network," Severance said. "Then you do a big rocket firing, you depart from Earth orbit and you're not going to return. You're then on the Deep Space Network forever. However, the return trips of human missions will require not only network handovers as the spacecraft leaves Earth, but return handovers between networks as well."
Because of this, future exploration missions will use all three of NASA's space communication's networks at various times during the mission. Not only must the NIC team ensure that all networks are functioning correctly, but that the handovers between networks are orchestrated to maintain communications between the spacecraft and mission control as it leaves Earth or approaches on its return journey. These plans can change rapidly due to in-flight complications, leaving the team to coordinate a new handover plan between the networks.
A preview of this type of mission capabilities occurred during the Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) in December 2014. The flight orbited Earth twice to test NASA's new Orion spacecraft, designed to carry astronauts to destinations in deep space, including an asteroid and Mars. EFT-1 flew the Orion capsule to more than 15 times further from Earth than the International Space Station, about 3,600 miles above the planet's surface. Data collected during the flight will help finalize Orion's designs and show how the capsule performs during, and returns from, deep-space journeys. This includes testing Orion's communications capabilities with the Space Network, which was overseen by Severance's team in the NIC.
The NIC Human Space Flight team at Goddard is already planning the communications for Exploration Mission-1, the first flight of the agency's new Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft to demonstrate the integrated system performance prior to the first crewed flight. Severance said this mission would be the biggest communications challenge moving forward into the next several years.
As NASA soars into space beyond Earth orbit once more, a legacy of space communications that began at Goddard more than 50 years ago continues.

His voice brought him the position of soloist at the Calvary Episcopal Church, at the age of eighteen.
This inspired Tony, and he became the soloist, and sang Italys national anthem.
He achieved a commanding position among the foremost Violinists of our time, both as a soloist and leader.
His interest in the soloist waned, but the orchestra was enough.
The next number on the program will probably be the soloist—say, a coloratura soprano.
This leads your bewildered friend to ask you what sort of soloist you prefer.
A soloist or the choir then sings while the clergyman slowly ascends to the altar, before which the marriage is performed.
Ah, the soloist was the best—the lady who sang those sad songs.
We went to call on Sainton, who was as refined a soloist as he was an intelligent and energetic orchestral leader.
The piece is in the key of E flat, and the violin is to be tuned a semitone higher, the soloist playing in D.

Amir Khan a big betting favourite to defeat Julio Diaz in crucial fight
By James Slater
While speculation continues to mount over who Amir Khan might fight later this year if he avoids another loss (with superstar Floyd Mayweather Junior being looked at by many as the next ring rival for Khan if Amir can come through okay against Julio Diaz two weeks on Saturday), Khan is currently a big betting favourite to take care of business against "The Kidd" on April 27th.
Khan, who has just enjoyed a lofty WBC ranking – #2 at welterweight, this despite the fact that Khan has never boxed at 147 – is currently listed at 1/12 with Ladbrokes, while former two-time IBF lightweight boss Diaz is listed at 13/2 for the fight set for Sheffield, England. A draw can be bet on at 33/1.
Khan has gone on record as saying a win on April 27th is crucial if his career is to continue: "I'd be destroyed If I lost again," Khan said to The Daily Mail, and the bookies sure feel as though he will indeed come through.
And if Khan looks good against Diaz, could it really be "Money" Mayweather in the late summer? Thanks to that lofty WBC ranking, this particular match-up could take place. Julio Diaz will likely be ruining some big, big plans for Khan if he defies the odds-makers when he and the former WBA/IBF 140-pound champ meet at the Motorpoint Arena!

This Long Island boy calls Delmarva home. I have been here with Delmarva Broadcasting
and Cool 101.3 for almost 10 years! I grew up with the Eagles, the Police and Earth
Wind & Fire. I Love the music we play on Cool 101.3. When I'm not in the studio or at
Steve's Seaside Saloon, you can find me on anyone of Delmarva's golf courses seeking
to break 90. Thank you for listening to Cool 101.3. And check this blog for my rants,
entertaining videos and anything else I might think you will enjoy!
Cool Cruise story about my shirt!
Okay, so here is the story about my shirt. The one you see here. My kids know that I am a big Jimmy Buffett fan and got me a Margaritaville shirt. The one you see here. It has boats, song titles, and all things Parrothead.
So we arrive in Nassau and I know we are going to Cabbage Beach with about 22 listeners in our group. We were told by a cab driver in Cocoa Beach that Cabbage beach is where there is a man with a pile of coconuts and for 20 bucks he will chop the top off of the coconut with a machete and give you a bottle of rum. Then, you pour the desired amount of rum into the coconut and milk. You can keep going back to him to get coconut milk, pina colada, Bahama Mama or Yellowbird juice.
Pretty cool. All along the beach there are folks selling everything from cigars to ladies dresses.
As the day progressed several of the sellers were interested in my shirt. Willing to trade almost anything. Later in the day one member of our group wanted a beer instead of rum so we walked down the beach and found "The Naughty Pirate Bar". It's right on the beach and they serve Kalik. The beer of the Bahamas. As soon as I walked in the Bartender was all over my shirt. He kept pouring
tequila and peach shots in hopes that I would trade him my Buffett shirt for the "Naughty Pirate" shirt he had on.
It was a pretty cool shirt, but there was no way I could part with the shirt my kids gave me.
As we stumbled back down the beach it dawned on me that I could probably make some money if I bought these shirts in the states and brought them to the Bahamas. Who knew? You would think that a shirt like that would be common in the Bahamas.
Great day at Cabbage Beach. If you are in Nasssau, check it out. It is a $5 cab ride from the pier to the beach. It is right down the beach from the Atlantis Resort. Beautiful clear water and you can ride on a jet ski for a few bucks, parasail and even ride the "Banana". I'll leave it on that note.
A side note, Ed, The One Eyed Pirate in our group, took a fall on the beach and broke 4 ribs. And for the record, that was before the rum! Ed, the trooper that he is, rallied and continued on the Cool Cruise without missing a beat!
Cheers to you my one-eyed pirate friend!

Should be in owners manual or on Glock site. Good luck.
Hi, does anyone know when is it recomended to change the recoil spring for a G22?
Should be in owners manual or on Glock site. Good luck.
When and if it starts jamming or 100,000 rounds--which ever comes first! Seriously--not sure. I can check my armorer's DVD soon though. I think it tells what to look for.
Wow, I thought 2-3 thousand rounds it will start jamming but I guess they will go way over that. Has anyone tried the seperate spring and rod they sell? Is it any better?
Even if you go with an aftermarket recoil spring/rod assembly, I'd seriously suggest the captive ones.
When it breaks. Don't get fooled by the little nicks or scratches, the spring is still good to go.
My G35 has seen 6K rounds so far and the spring works like a charm.

Submitted to: Oklahoma Academy of Science Proceedings
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 11/14/1998

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Exochitinase (chitobiase) is an enzyme that has been associated with the defense against fungal invasion in plant tissue. The plant produces these enzymes and they are released and synthesis enhanced in the presence of a fungal pathogen. Latent fungal pathogens invade the fruit during net development and remain dormant until fruit maturity (40 days after flowering). The induction of latency and the stimulation to continue infection at fruit maturity is poorly understood. One hypothesis is that fruit defense enzymes are present early in fruit development but, decrease in activity as the fruit matures, therefore, rendering the fruit more susceptible to fungal pathogens. Chitobiase activity was observed in mesocarp and exocarp cantaloupe tissue, with the highest activity in fruit mesocarp. Acetone precipitated proteins were applied to an anion and cation exchange column. Two peaks were observed. The anionic peak had the emost activity and this fraction was applied to a size-exclusion column wit showed on peak of chitobiase activity. SDS-PAGE of the chitobiase fraction indicated one protein band at 44 kD. Further chromatography of exocarp tissue showed that 10-day fruit had the highest chitobiase activity when compared to older fruit samples.

Does anybody have any of these rather tasteless cookbooks? Do they even really exist? Well I know that The Anarchist Cookbook exists, but it doesn't have recipes (not for food, anyway).
Well, I've put Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Cookbook on my wishlist, since I have recently acquired White Trash Cooking which is far more interesting than it sounds. Don't think I would be much interested in many of the rest, though!
I know that the Axis of Evil one exists - in fact I think I've come across reference to 2 different cookbooks with that title. I don't have any of those books in the slideshow though :(
I think I've had one of the A of E books on some wishlist or other for a few years now....
eta: ah, here it is - rather more civilised looking than the one in the slideshow: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9781599212869/Cuisines-of-the-Axis-of-Evil-...
I'm not sure why the "eating in bed" one is tasteless, unless I'm missing something. Or the evil twin one, that's just goofy. And yeah, the trailer park one is weird but looks like it could be interesting (not that I'm rushing out to buy it).
The rest, though...yeah. Ew.
I had a friend in high school who downloaded the anarchists cookbook. He's in the air force now :D
No takers for Natural Harvest? Oh deary, deary me, there's a touchstone!
I once had a copy of Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Cookbook as part of a BookCrossing bookring. I didn't care for it, but others seemed to think it was lots of fun both to read and for recipes (Blech! was my reaction...). Here are the journal entries. That copy of the cookbook travelled among bookcrossers from 2004 to 2008. Would I recommend it? Hell, no! :)
One of the other journalers (crrcookie) is a friend of mine, although I didn't know her at that time. She tried that cookbook, too!
I used to have the White Trash Cooking, book, but have since passed it on. One my most favoritest comfort foods was discovered in it though. Cornbread with molasses and cream on it. Yum!
The serial killers cookbook. Does it include those with cannibalistic tendencies? I mean, where would one get the ingredients for that legally? :P Ick.
I am now trying to scrub my brain of all remembrance or knowledge that there is a Natural Harvest cookbook.
Care to share that cornbread recipe? I *love* cornbread as well as molasses and would love to try that! :)
Bcteagirl - I just use the cornbread recipe on the Albers cornmeal box. If you don't have Albers where you live, I'd be happy to post the recipe for you. It's the molasses and cream that make it divine. Oh, and just a slight bit of warmth.
I don't (I am in Canada) but I do have cornbread recipes. You mean it is topped with molasses and cream? I could do that :)
Yes you can! I let the molasses drizzle in a lovely pattern until I have the amount I desire (experimentation will tell you how much that is, but start small), then add just a bit of cream to soften, but not soggify it. Warm for 10 seconds (or more if you want) in the microwave.
I do find this works best with a normal cornbread and not something with say, cheese or jalepenos in it. Albers is sweeter than some and moister than some, but by adjusting the molasses and cream, any cornbread is wonderful. Especially good for breakfast or a late night snack IMO.
#11/12/etc. -- My mother eats cornbread with maple syrup on top of it, which is delicious. I'm not sure if I'd like molasses instead of the syrup, but the addition of cream sounds like a good idea in any case.
Both great ideas thank you!! :) Now I want cornbread and it is too hot to bake... curses! :P
Sounds like it would also go well with cornbread with a bit of salt on top (I sometimes sprinkle salt on top, before baking).. sort of a sweet and salty. Mmmm...
I like the idea of salt on top. Yum. Reminds me of a toasted pecan recipe that I use, both sweet and salty (also cinnamon). Addictive..
Mmmm, salt! Do you use larger chunks, like sea salt, or Kosher? Or just table salt?
ok, as an 'evil twin' myself :-) and an avid cookbook collector I can so see people writing or buying most of these books. Ok, all except THAT one. . . . of course the first thought is EWWW! But then my practical half just kind of goes ????? and really WHY, WHY would anyone go there???
Really Last Dinner On the Titanic what better way to study history then through what people ate? And it got lots of good reviews on Amazon. I have the Bordello Cookbook and other 'colorful' cookbooks. The What Would Jesus Cook one really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, I'm sort of surprised that there are more of them.
I vote for Jiffy mix cornbread myself. But maple syrup on top sounds good too.
(Bruce's evil twin :-))
What's wrong with the Axis of Evil cookbook? Korean, Iranian, Syrian -- yum! (If they threw in some Cuban food, too, even better!) Shortly after Bush made that speech my wife and I talked about having a series of "Axis of Evil" dinner parties, but we never got around to it.
I saw that "natural harvest" cookbook somewhere online a year or two back. could be the most disgusting thing I've ever come across!!! who writes this stuff, anyway?? what kind of person even want to put something on their resume?
that ruby ann one, however, judging from the cover, would make a terrific gag gift.
as to the cornbread discussion, I've never thought of topping it with anything but butter, but now I'm going to have to try the molasses thing. although to be fair, a really good cornbread doesn't much need anything at all on it, IMO!
I had a friend confiscate the Anarchist's Cookbook from one of his students. He thought it was much too dangerous to be in the hands of a 15 year old boy.
I don't have any of them myself, and I don't think there are any of them in the cookbooks I've inherited from my mother which are still at dad's house.
I found the idea of molasses on cornbread quite intriguing, so I have tried it. I happen to like both and found the combined flavour quite wonderful! A nice change and I would even consider adding molasses to a recipe for cornbread as a bit of an experiment.
In line with the Natural harvest cookbook (still eww!) I ran across another one when looking at upcoming cookbooks on amazon. Not out yet. (No rush, says I).
Testicles: Balls in Cooking and Culture by Blandine Vie. Since the book is not listed here yet here is an external link:
When I lived in Texas, years ago, I was invited to be the guest international judge at a chilli and mountain oyster cookoff at the local Buffaloes (somewhere where they wore silly hats, anyway). It was a wonderful experience.
Our local community college is offering certification as a BBQ judge. I am so tempted ...
As long as it is pork BBQ instead of beef, I'd go for it.
They say it will cover all sorts of BBQ, including pork and beef. A multi-purpose certificate if I get back to Texas any time soon.
When I worked at Barnes & Noble several years back there was only one book we were not allowed to even take orders for and that was the anarchist's cookbook. Is anyone surprised?
I have White Trash Cooking too. I was living in Atlanta, GA when it was published and every person I knew bought at least one copy.
Well, here are some, erm, shots* of the pages in Natural Harvest.
Edit: *Icky
heehee No worries, I am betting anyone could guess it would be icky :P
That makes me a lot more hesitant to accept food from people I don't know to be entirely trustworthy.
The first recipe says "If using freshly ejaculated...." which makes me wonder if people actually collect and save (for the lean times?). Ew.

Does this sound like your topic?

As a realtor, several of my clients and some friends and family members were served in Chapter 11 cases by Lawrence F. Regan, Jr. In what could have been one of the most difficult times of their life, they survived and with dignity. Mr. Regan and his firm provided personal attention and communication throughout the process and even after.
Posted by Ted
Larry guided us through each step of our bankruptcy filings and proceedings with concern and empathy. He helped educate us about every aspect of the filings and subsquent hearings. He was always available to answer our questions and looked out for our best interests. As part of my business I deal with attorneys on a regular basis. I have to say that I found Larry to be an excellent attorney with great expertise in his area of practice who looks out for the best interests of his clients.
Posted by anonymous
We were drawn by Attorney Regan's interest, his competence and his clarity of explanation with options. He was thoroughly detailed, accessible and always responsive. We felt heard and appropriately attended to throughout our complex case from beginning to end. His staff always responded with professionalism, care and competence. Our case was resolved to our satisfaction. We recommend him without reservation for his legal expertise.
Posted by Andrew
I had an excellent experience with Mr. Regan during my bankruptcy proceeding. He kept me well informed and I felt very comfortable during the entire experience...even 5 years later when it was discharged. I highly recommend Mr. Regan.

You're right, it's a tube with any fancy millwork only present in the forward section.
While I don't mind an AK reweld, for some reason a Mosin reweld just feels wrong, like it would be prone to fail. But, go for it (either reweld or new-built)!
[I can't remember if I posted about this before...]
Over on another forum someone from here talked about his idea of cutting up a Mosin Nagant rifle receiver to destroy it, then rewelding it to create a brand-new "pistol" receiver.
He got dogpiled and the thread disintegrated, but the idea stuck in my head. When a 91/30 barreled receiver showed up on Gunbroker for $19.95, well...
I'd never taken my Mosin apart, so looking at the receiver was interesting. The Mosin bolt rides vertically, guided by the bolt handle riding the slot on top. It turns horizontal to lock, like a Ross straight-pull action. Or vice-versa, since it predates the Ross.
What this means is there are no 'raceways' down the inside of the receiver like a Mauser. Instead, there's only a short section right behind the barrel threads.
The Mosin receiver starts as a piece of bar stock, with everything that doesn't look like a receiver cut away. But other than some of the trigger and stock mount bits, it's close enough to a tube. If you were building a pistol you wouldn't care about the stock mount bits anyway, and you could fab the trigger housing bits from sheet metal.
The short raceway sections at the front could be done with an end mill and a file, or even just a file and patience. Then you'd have a 100% scratchbuilt receiver.
You'd need a lathe and a mill. It would be more work than a sheet metal AK receiver, a whole lot less than a milled AK receiver or a Mauser receiver. Probably about the same as doing a 0% AR forging.
The reweld idea still looks interesting, particularly if you take two different receivers and use the front of one and the rear of the other. However, the ATF hasn't (as far as I can tell) made a ruling on what constitutes "destruction" of a Mosin receiver. On atf.gov there are drawings of various rifle receivers showing where they have to be cut, but the Mosin isn't one of those. I've been meaning to write the ATF and see if I could get a clarification; I guess I need to get off my butt and do it.
You're right, it's a tube with any fancy millwork only present in the forward section.
While I don't mind an AK reweld, for some reason a Mosin reweld just feels wrong, like it would be prone to fail. But, go for it (either reweld or new-built)!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
I agree 100%, I don't think the Mosin receiver would be hard to deal with in this respect. The Mosin wasn't machining intensive to begin with.
Haven't you ever picked up a mosin from a widow's yard sale?
nudge-nudge, wink-wink.

I think the question is, should you get a bare Mosin receiver, how would you know if it was or was not EVER an assembled rifle?
Seems like an unreasonable test.
A receiver ring with barrel and a bolt head can be the basis of a single shot pistol. Use a hammer, a short firing pin, and a custom bolt handle (that attaches to the bolt head).
This layout is a bit like some single shot 50 BMG bolt rifles where the bolt totally removes from the receiver.
The original rear sight base serves as a place for a pistol scope mount.
The forward action screw (odd thread) attaches the lower receiver block/box.
A dewat Mossin receiver with barrel and bolt head would be the place to start. Fun stuff !!!
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Somehow, I am not sure that's provable or correct. I am sure that some receivers were left for spares, tossed as blems, or otherwise never made it into a stock (despite being barreled.) Remember, until that butt stock is attached, it's NOT a rifle.
I would concede that MOST mosin nagant receivers were made into rifles, and that probably nearly ALL were barreled as if they were to become rifles.
It's not about what you know, it's about what you can prove. Even in the US where most of the imports are controlled, you would have a difficult time proving it, if it lacked importation documentation. Although, I would be confident in saying that any receiver with import marks would have most probably been (near 100% certainty) imported as a rifle, and thus easy to determine that it began life as a rifle.
lol, you're spending someone else's money. Federal court costs in a firearms case where any lawyer worth their salt would run, run quickly away from.
Consider that, during the darkest days of WWII the Soviets cut manufacturing steps, recycled worn rifles, and really did implement the policy where one soldier was issued a Mosin, and the next was issued ammo with the order to follow the first and pick up his Mosin when he died. How strong would your proposed case be that an arbitrary receiver was never assembled as a rifle? A Federal prosecutor's wet dream.
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
I am not saying to do this without documentation that it was never a rifle, but if you have a reasonable belief that the weapon in question was never made into a rifle, I think you'd be well within your rights to build a pistol.
Of the roughly 36 MILLION plus Mosin Nagant rifles (AND THAT'S JUST SOVIET PRODUCTION!), I am willing to bet that more than a FEW of these were never placed in a stock... Even if it were only 1 in a million, that would still be 36 rifles. So if you told me I had a 1 in a million chance of being right, that would still be 36 times over that I could be right. That would mean a production efficiency unheard of in those years. I have no idea what the production efficiency of the factories were, but even if they were able to turn 99.97% of all production receivers into rifles we are talking about 10,800 receivers that never made into a rifle.
It's not quite the dream you make it... There are too many receiver sources and too many receivers to be completely sure that each and everyone made it into a rifle... I think the case could be made that some receivers may not have made it into a rifle. A prosecutor would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt (a high standard) that it WAS a rifle. That requires documentation of the build, not just statistics.
PS - We're really off in the weeds here. I think the right answer is just to mill one out yourself if you want to do this, as you correctly note, it's far cheaper than a few hours of time with a good lawyer.

I have a little sister who was adopted from Korea when she was about a year old, so watching your story unfold brings back wonderful memories. She also had a hair lip and cleft palate. My husband and I adopted our youngest after being-empty nesters for quiet awhile. She has PTSD and dysregulation. We have found that giving her love, love, love, but also a lot of structure has helped her tremendously. As tempted as we were to spoil her rotten to make up for the past, it has been being loving, yet firm, that makes her feel safest. You are doing a wonderful thing. You are giving Little One a life she would never have otherwise. You will bless her life tremendously and she yours. Blessings to all of you! Joy - Hooray! Rejoicing with you! angie - beyond thrilled for your family! Jenni - LOVE!!! Maureen - This is a perfect family photo! Enjoy this! Sophi - Hello! So happy you are home and well.

Over the past couple of weeks I have found myself drawn to my computer screen reading posts that emanate what it means to be a woman after God's heart. Your story is truly an inspiration! I do have a question regarding your adoption. I know that Little One was not a newborn when you finally had her in your arms. Did you have the opportunity to choose her name? Was she called by a different name for the period of time that she was in China? Thank you for being so raw and genuine!

Red River, Interrupted Page 2
Jim Tichenor, a director of US Sailing, has made the trip north from his Houston home every year since 2001 to act as Lakefest principal race officer. Working with Make-A-Wish, he says, the sailing club can put their money directly into the community and return to what makes this thing special. I love seeing the excitement in kids who get to hand out a trophy or just shake somebodys hand.
Tichenor got involved when two delegates from Texoma Sailing Club traveled to Houston to attend one of his courses on advanced race management. He recalls, They came to me on a break and said they didnt know half this stuff and would I come up and help. That turned into a team-building exercise thats been enjoyable all around. These people have their hearts in the right place, and theyve moved the ball. At this point theyre prepared to run anybodys Nationals or North Americans. To the point: This years schedule includes a race-management seminar and a North U/Dave Dellenbaugh seminar on the new racing rules.
I like to watch
I needed photos, so there we were. Trading my ride on Coyote for a ride with the race committee, I stepped into the kind of morning that makes you glad to be alive, with flights of birds loud overhead and the hum of bass boats setting out and radios crackling on channel 68. If youve never breathed the morning air from a speeding mark-set boatif youve never done time on race committeemy friend, youre missing something.
Johnny Stacy was in his seventh year of driving his big lake cruiser, Savannah Jane, as the signal boat, just to be part of things. He told me, I had a Hobie in the 1980s, but really, I like to watch. He also fires a mean shotgun. Sometimes sailors forget how much we owe to people like Johnny Stacy. But you knowI hope you knowthat you can figure the importance of a sailboat race by how many motorboats it takes to run it.
Tichenor was in charge, but remember, this is teamwork. The ladies of the Texoma Sailing Club, people like Sandra Morton and Mary Nichols, who raise flags and keep the scoring, run their own show. You dont tell these women what to do. Sandra explains, Im not a racer. When they get too close, I shut my eyes. Otherwise I like to watch. Im pleased to report that her dedication does not go unappreciated. Sandra and Mary were handling the morning check-in when Peter Pattullo sailed by on his Farrier F33R trimaran, Nelda Ray, and the crew chorused, We lo-o-o-ve you!
It was, nonetheless, a day to try the soul. There were episodes when the breeze was shifting through 80 degrees and bending between the bottom and top of the course. We didnt know how good we had it until the breeze shut down completely for a while. Picture motoring just to keep the bugs off. Tichenor observed that it was hot as a June bride in a featherbed.
And then, all too soon, it was over. We were down to the shouting, with another regatta in the bag and me with loose ends. So listen up, and Ill try to clarify: (1) This Texas-Oklahoma rivalry runs deep, but at Lakefest all I saw was cooperation, with competitors and officials pulling together from both sides of the border to put on a good game. (2) Some sort of Texoma Wine Trail exists; more interesting is a thread from the early 1900s, when phylloxera was decimating the vineyards and threatening the very culture of Franceuntil one T.V. Munson of Denison, Texas, identified a resistant rootstock and shipped cuttings that made him a Chevalier du Mrite Agricole. (3) Texoma is longhorn country, but the high plains of Texas it is not.
These are the rolling hills of Texas, and I left town in a parade of Melges 24s on trailers, up the spring-green hills and down, and it was fine, just fine (at the risk of repeating myself) to feel part of the one-design contingent of a PHRF hotbed. Rollin, rollin, rollin, keep those doggies rollin. And bring em back in 09.
I hope that keeps the record straight. Far be it from me to mess with Texas.

TAMPA — Once the pomp and circumstance subsided on a night when Chamberlain named its gym in honor of former longtime basketball coach Doug Aplin, there was a game to play.
And up until the final minute of Friday's game against Class 6A, District 9 rival Jefferson, it appeared the Chiefs would add to Aplin's legacy with a win.
No such luck for the hard-luck Chiefs (0-2, 0-2), who are still in search of a win after a 67-65 loss to unbeaten Dragons (3-0, 2-0)
Jefferson coach Eric Hayes did not exactly feel bad for spoiling the outcome for Aplin, a 1972 Chamberlain graduate and 1,000-point scorer who coached his alma mater to 512 games in 31 seasons.
"I played against coach Aplin. He was a great coach, a great man," said Hayes, a 1993 Tampa Catholic graduate. "I hate to be the one to spoil his night, but at the same time I think he understands."
Chamberlain led for most of the game, but Jefferson tied it at 64 on a Cameron Padgett layup with 1:25 left. Padgett then made one of two free throws to give the Dragons their first lead since they began the game with a 5-2 run.
An inbound pass by the Chiefs with 11 seconds left bounced off Ronald Blount's knee for a turnover and Shaquille Mandy hit two free throws to clinch it. Dereck Boulden missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer.
Chamberlain built two 10-point leads, but Jefferson rallied to make it close each time. The Chiefs had four leads of two points in the fourth quarter, but could not pull away.
Mandy and Blount led their teams with 19 points each. Chamberlain's Rashawn Fredericks added 18 and teammate Mike Dileo 10.

A$AP Rocky, Wale, Lauryn Hill, Janelle Monae and more will be performing at the 2015 One MusicFest in September.
On their own, Villa is pretty nice with the collaborations but to up the ante even further, they've pulled in sneaker aficionado and rapper Wale for assistance. After all, helping the Asics Gel-Lyte III celebrate its 25th Anniversary is a pretty big deal.
The Boombox decided to look back at the rappers and singers who made it to XXL's prestigious Freshman Class. Find out where they are now and see what they have been doing in their careers since their recognition from the magazine.
Embarking on the road that is marriage is never easy. After conquering the Billboard charts with his latest album, 'The Album About Nothing,' Wale now tries to combat his fears of commitment in the video for "The Matrimony," featuring Usher.
From Nicki Minaj to Rihanna and more, here are 10 Songs Guaranteed to Rule Summer 2015.
For this edition of Songs of the Week, Vince Staples welcomes Future to assist with the ladies, A$AP Rocky calls on the OG Rod Stewart and Miguel and Wale get groovy.
Miguel teased fans with a short snippet of his song "Coffee" in December and left fans thirsty for more. Now the Grammy Award-winning singer is ready to hit the stage front and center with the release of the full track, "Coffee (F***ing)" featuring Wale, and the announcement of his third album.
As Wale's The Album About Nothing continues to hold on to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart, the rapper drops the visual for his Janet Jackson-inspired single "The Girls on Drugs."
We've come to our conclusion of which artists put forth the most quality material over the last three months. Here are our choices for the five best hip-hop albums released in the first quarter of 2015.
In The Boombox Battle this week, songs from Kid Cudi and Wale compete for the win.

The goal of the psychologist is to predict, explain, and understand people's behavior. Those who major in psychology often go on to pursue graduate study in psychology, which leads to careers in teaching, research, counseling. For instance, many who study psychology become counselors, sometimes in educational or social welfare organizations, but also with employment agencies, industry and business, hospitals, and other organizations that employ or work with many people. Psychology as a minor is excellent for business majors, teachers, sociologists, and others whose careers revolve around their relationships with people.

Rob Johns is Professor in Politics. He arrived at Essex in October 2010 having previously worked in the Department of Government at the University of Strathclyde. His teaching and research are in the fields of political psychology (especially the nature and origins of public opinion), electoral behaviour and questionnaire design. Rob is a Principal Investigator on the 2016 Scottish Election Study and has worked on a number of other major survey projects.
BA Oxford, MA PhD Essex
Rob's research is about how and why people think what they think about politics. Within this broad focus, he has addressed a diverse range of questions in a range of contexts: Do people care about civilian as well as military casualties in war? Do voters feel represented by parties, even if those parties have no chance of power? Why are women less likely to favour Scottish independence? Are more moderate parties regarded as more competent? Rob would be happy to supervise students whose research also falls in the broad field of public opinion.
