Officially known as the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), its role is exclusively involved in obtaining intelligence on the activities of Britain's enemies and potential enemies overseas.
Up until a decade ago the main threat came from the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union MI6 shifted its main focus to Irish republican terror groups.
But since 11 September 2001 MI6's primary function has been to keep an eye on the threat from Muslim extremists.
MI6 will have agents in, for example, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, who are designed to give early warning of potential threats to Britain from al-Qaeda.
MI6 is an arm of the Foreign Office and its boss, known as C, is answerable to the foreign secretary.
It used to be said that MI6 agents worked abroad and MI5 - known officially as the Security Service - worked within the UK's borders.
But nowadays that is not the case. MI5 agents often travel abroad to liaise with foreign intelligence agencies and share information on those who might threaten British national security.
MI5 is also concerned with threats to the security of British embassies and consulates abroad and British expats living overseas.
It operates a network of agents and also works closely in support of Special Branch, which has its own informants in a variety of groups which are of concern to the government.
These include Irish republicans, Northern Irish loyalists, Kurdish separatists and Muslim extremists.
These informants - known in the trade as Covert Human Intelligence Sources - have defected for a variety of reasons.
Usually it is because they are disillusioned by their movements' actions, but it can also be because of financial inducements offered to them.
MI5 is funded through the Single Intelligence Account, which also supplies the budget for MI6 and GCHQ.
Its boss is answerable to the home secretary.
Whereas MI5 and MI6 are both classed as the intelligence service, they work closely with Special Branch, whose officers are policemen and women.
Each of the UK's police forces has a Special Branch, whose officers are given the task of keeping tabs on suspect organisations in their area.
Special Branch officers also keep surveillance - both physically and technologically - on individuals who are considered "of interest" to the powers-that-be.
Telephone are tapped, e-mails monitored, mail intercepted and homes bugged in an attempt to obtain valuable intelligence on the people under surveillance.
Special Branch, and MI5, are supposed to tip off the local police if they discover a plot is imminent.
The Metropolitan Police, being the biggest and best-funded force in the country, is the only constabulary in the UK to have a dedicated Anti-Terrorist Squad.
Anti-Terrorist Branch officers are often sent miles from London in the course of their work and are supposed to work closely with local officers if they discover terrorist activity in, for example, Lancashire.
In December 2001 Scotland Yard officers boarded a cargo ship in the English Channel because of fears that it might be carrying terrorist material. In the end the ship was given the all-clear.
The Anti-Terrorist Branch has years of experience in tackling terrorism, most noticeably that of Irish republicans operating on the British mainland.
They have faced a steep learning curve with Islamic extremists since 11 September 2001 but the lack of a major terrorist incident in Britain suggests they are getting results.
NCIS was established in 1992 and provides intelligence on major organised crime gangs for police forces up and down the country.
But it will, from time to time, in the course of its activities come across terrorist conspiracies.
Several terror groups, such as the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), the Kurdish separatist PKK and the Turkish left-wingers DHKP-C, fund their activities through extortion and drug dealing.
There is therefore considerable overlap and NCIS will frequently provide information to MI5 or the Anti-Terrorist Branch.
While the above groups all work with intelligence from human sources, GCHQ is responsible for monitoring the airwaves.
GCHQ - which stands for Government Communications Headquarters - was set up during World War II to decode German coded messages.
Now based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, its staff monitor a wide range of communications globally.
Equipped with a vast array of state-of-the-art technology - work began on a £300m facility in 1999 - they are able to listen in to communications between virtually anyone in the world.
Their work, obviously, is shrouded in secrecy but GCHQ will be at the forefront of efforts to locate secret messages between Osama Bin Laden and his minions.

Sep 13, 2012 - By Steven R. PeckWith other school board ballots full to bursting, Riverton's incumbents drew no challengers at all
Everyone must be pretty well pleased with the way the Riverton school board is being run, or at least not displeased enough to want to do anything to change it.
There are four seats on the seven-member Fremont County School District 25 board up for election this year, and that's exactly how many candidates there are --four. All four incumbents are seeking re-election, and no one is challenging them.
That in itself is a bit astonishing because school boards often spark lively competition. Some may remember the successful "Four for Education" group that unseated a handful of incumbents some years ago when the four ran as a unit and all won.
This year, there was a resignation in mid-term. Several good candidates filed their statements of interest for being appointed to the post, and the board chose one, Lynette Jeffres, and swore her in a few weeks ago. At the time it was assumed that one or more of the candidates who had been passed over would file to run for the job in the general election, but that didn't happen.
So we're left with a sure thing in November. Four seats, four candidates, case closed. Congratulate Jeffres, Carl Manning (our Ranger work colleague), Dean Peranteaux and Glenn Ogg. They're in.
The Riverton scenario contrasts sharply with the elections coming up in other school districts across Fremont County, and we've got a lot of school districts here. School District 1 in Lander has two seats open and three candidates running. In District 2, Dubois, four candidates are vying to fill three school board openings.
The competition is stiffer in Shoshoni (District 24), where there are three available school board seats and five candidates running. The ballot gets steeper than that in School District 6 (Wind River). Five candidates are running for the school board, with just two seats open.
Central Wyoming College elects candidates from districts, but everyone in the county gets to vote for them (that's the way we ought to do it for the Fremont County Commission, too, but that's a topic for a different day), and the distribution of candidates is mixed. In one, the incumbent, Judy Pedersen, faces three challengers.
The biggies are in School District 21 (Fort Washakie), which has a lot of open board seats --four --and a lot of candidates running --eight. And by far the liveliest school board ballot in Fremont County is in School District 38 at Arapahoe. Three open seats, 11 candidates.
These comparisons make the Riverton situation all the more remarkable. There are self-proclaimed experts on public education everywhere you look. We all went to school, so why shouldn't we also be authorities on how to run a school district. Beyond that, there almost always are gripes and grievances, both old and new, that spur people to run for school boards. They want to get a new class added to the curriculum, or the water polo coach fired, or make sure the marching kazoo orchestra gets to go on a trip, or some such personal agenda item that they feel can be satisfied once they get elected.
So, when the trustees of the biggest school district in the county face zero opposition at election time, it's not unfair to suggest that they are doing a good job --meaning good management of the money, clear communication of policy, effective hiring, good decisions on facilities, and satisfactory communication with patrons --so good, in fact, that nobody wanted to mount an election challenge against any of them
If that's the case, then congratulations to the District 25 board members. Keep up the good work. And remember, the next election is just two years away, with enough voters and prospective candidates out there to make things interesting again in a heartbeat.

Fewer than 50 largemouth bass were moved to South Africa in the early 1900's. From those few fish, bass have now spread into nearly all the reservoirs in the country. See my photos.
With the fish came the fishing industry. Bass fishing is a popular sport in South Africa. I recently visited there (with some financial support from B.A.S.S. Conservation), and wow, I was impressed. Tour guide Alfie Curling took me bass fishing on a lake in Kwandwe Game Preserve, and we cast spinnerbaits and plastic frogs as elephants roamed the hills above. A 5-foot monitor lizard crawled off a cliff and swam across the creek, while baboons looked down on us from atop the bluff. Holy cow, this isn't bass fishing in Kansas!
Over the next few days, I attended an 80-boat bass tournament on Wriggleswade Reservoir and was amazed by what I saw. Outstanding bass boats were everywhere, many of which were locally made in South Africa and others imported from the United States. On the decks of these boats were identical rods, reels and lures to what we find at home. Anglers here are well-versed in the latest tackle crazes, including tungsten sinkers, mojo rigs and Carolina rigs — in Africa! The big bass of the tournament was a 6 1/2-pound largemouth caught on a black buzzbait. Talking to the anglers, it seemed like the best lures were exactly what you would expect for a relatively muddy water reservoir in the Midwestern United States. Spinnerbaits, crankbaits and flipping were common techniques, with timber and hyacinth mats being the most common cover targeted by anglers.
Anglers here are passionate about their bass fishing, and it also made me realize how lucky we are to have fisheries management agencies here in the USA. In South Africa, bass are a non-native, invasive species and there is literally no management in place to protect and improve these fishery resources. There are no size limits or bag limits, although most tournament anglers practice catch and release. If a lake gets too many carp and loses all aquatic plants, there is no agency to call for help. The bass anglers in South Africa are well-organized and enthusiastic, but they don't have the help of state management agencies like we have here at home. The South African Bass Anglers Association (S.A.B.A.A.) helped fund my visit, in part because they want to learn more about how to manage populations for better fishing.
Fisheries biologist Dr. Olaf Weyl of the South African Institute for Biodiversity was my host, and his group is doing the type of work that many fisheries agencies do here at home. His graduate student Gerry Taylor has evaluated bass growth, mortality and recruitment patterns in reservoirs. Dr. Weyl's group also does extensive work to protect native stream fish from impacts of bass predation.
Despite a lack of active management, fishing in many South African reservoirs is good to excellent, with catch rates that appear to be to similar to what we find here at home. I saw lakes that were clear with vegetation and some that were muddy with nearly no plants, and several in between. Most reservoirs here are small by comparison to the USA, with a 3,000-acre reservoir being large here.
I was impressed with the passion of the anglers here, and it was certainly easy to strike up a conversation about fishing in South Africa. Special thanks to Olaf and S.A.B.A.A. for hosting me in this amazing country.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/2/2014 (1223 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An 18-year-old man was beated and robbed last night by two teenagers, one of whom had a knife.
Police say that they were alerted to the in-progress assault by a passer-by who spotted it happening in the 600-block of Park Avenue. Officers who responded say they found the victim in the area; he had been slightly hurt, but didn't require medical attention.
He told police that he had been confronted by two suspects, one with a knife, who beat him up and stole his wallet, which contained a quantity of cash.
Police later spotted two suspects matching descriptions that the victim had given, near the Brandon Curling Club in the Keystone Centre grounds.
They were arrested and police say that the victim's wallet and a quantity of cash were recovered. Police also found a knife and a hammer on the suspects. Neither weapon had been used in the assault.
A 15-year-old Sioux Valley boy and a 16-year-old Brandon boy were both charged with robbery and assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Both youth were held in custody and were to appear in court this morning for a bail hearing.

Georgia Track & Field `Still On Track' Following Weekend Meets
April 19, 2014
WALNUT, Calif. --- The Bulldog track and field teams produced their peak performances of the weekend during the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., on Saturday.
Another flurry of personal bests and top collegiate finishes came at the War Eagle Invitational in Auburn, Ala. It was a lengthy day on Auburn's track since a majority of the events on Friday were rescheduled to Saturday because of the weather.
"We had some good things here and there and I think we are still on track to have success at the (Southeastern Conference) and NCAA meets," said head coach Wayne Norton. "Mt. SAC was very productive for us overall and we had more of our top folks at home getting ready for this final stretch of the year. We had a lot of average stuff going on and I thought we did a decent job of competing despite some not so great conditions.
"I was encouraged to see how Johnathan Smith is becoming consistent in the 100 from meet to meet. Rashan (Brown), Myasia (Jacobs), Drew Branch and the first five finishers or so in the 5000 all ran well and were encouraging to see."
All three of the Bulldog shot putters finished in the top 10 in the Invitational Elite competition at Mt. SAC thanks to a career-best effort and one season-best throw. Senior Caleb Whitener shot to No. 4 on the national performance list and improved his No. 3 mark in the Bulldog record books to grab the top collegiate finish. The Dallas, Ga., native uncorked a throw of 65 feet, ¾ inches on his sixth and final throw and also featured a mark of 63-7.75 in his series.
Junior Nick Vena was sixth overall in the competition thanks to his sixth throw that measured 62-11.50. Taking 10th was sophomore Ashinia Miller, who finished with only one fair mark in his six throws, one that measured 61-3.50.
Keeping with the pattern of Georgia's distance corps in Mt. SAC this weekend, junior Charles Grethen ran his second straight 1:47 (1:47.67) in the 800-meter run to win his heat and be the third collegiate finisher (sixth overall) Invitational Elite race.
Senior Megan Malasarte made her season debut in the women's 800 Invitational Elite with the fastest opener in her career by a second. Malasarte was the fifth collegiate finisher (13th overall) after running a 2:03.30.
Fellow senior Elizabeth Tepe wasted little time establishing herself in the country's top 10 in the women's hammer Invitational Elite. Tepe launched a personal-best throw of 207-6, which is the fourth-longest throw in school history and best since 2010.
True freshman Alex Poursanidis made a four-foot improvement to his personal best in the hammer throw. Poursanidis reached 220-7 to move into the nation's top 15 in the event.
Sophomore Chanice Porter took off for a mark of 20-6.50 on her second attempt in the long jump and left the facility with her third top collegiate finish of the season. Porter passed on her final four attempts as she works to lock down her second First Team All-America certificate of 2014.
After matching his career best of 10.20 to win the Spec Towns Invite last week, senior Johnathan Smith recorded the top collegiate finisher (second overall) after finishing his race in 10.31 at the War Eagle Invite.
Similar to Smith in Auburn, freshman Tatiana Gusin had the top finish last week and then cleared 5-8.75 on her first attempt to have the best finish for the collegiate competition (second overall) in the high jump.
One of Smith's partners in the sprints is senior Drew Branch and Branch finished his first 400 of the year with a career best. Primarily a 400 hurdler, Branch ran a 47.01 to be second in the race as sophomore Maurice Freeman took fifth (47.86).
With success coming in the sprints so far this season, Freeman cleared a season-best 6-9.50 on his second try to take runner-up honors in the high jump.
Georgia's next target for an elite time in the relays will come next weekend at the Drake Relays. But sophomore Jamario Calhoun and freshmen Reggie Glover, Brandon Thompson and Ayrian Evans combined to take third in the 4x100 relay with a 41.40 on Saturday.
Sophomore Rashan Brown was fourth overall (No. 2 collegiate finisher) in the 200 after crossing the finish line in 23.75. This is only .05 from her personal best run earlier this year.
Also, sophomore Brooke Koblitz took third in the 1500 Invitational after running a 4:44.35 and junior Erika Ramsey (17:28.63) and junior Marrion Kalafut (17:28.85) went fifth and sixth in the 5000 Invitational.
The Bulldogs make their annual trip to Des Moines, Iowa, next week for the Drake Relays.
Results and recaps from the Mt. SAC Relays and the War Eagle Invitational will be located at georgiadogs.com. Updates about all Bulldog track and field news can be found on Twitter at @UGA_XCTF.

By repeated washing with water and decanting a sufficient amount of the crystals was obtained for examination.
After decanting the water of the last washing, we dry the mass, and add a little powdered borax to it.

I'll bet you believe all that stuff they feed you in the decanting Center about ancient history.

City Year debuts in Denver, dispatching 50 tutors and mentors to 5 high-needs DPS schools
City Year, an AmeriCorps program that focuses on mentoring at-risk students at high-needs schools across the country, has come to Denver.
Fifty young adults ages 17 to 24 are now serving as tutors and mentors in five Denver public schools.
The current City Year schools are: Montbello High School, North High School, Rachel B. Noel Middle School, Lake International Middle School and the Denver Center for 21st Century Learning at Wyman.
"Our goal is to work with kids who are at most risk for dropping out," says Jeff Park, executive director of City Year Denver. Park's background is in education; before leading City Year, he helped start Skyland Community High School, which has since been shuttered by DPS. He went on to start more schools in the Mapleton district.

In Denver, City Year members will work with the five schools to identify struggling students and improve what the program calls their "ABCs:" attendance, behavior and coursework. It starts with attendance, Park says. City Year members follow up with absent students, calling their parents to inquire why they're out. It's already making a difference; Park reports that Montbello's attendance has improved from 82 percent to 92 percent.
Park expects more gains to follow. Denver is City Year's 21st location and the twenty other cities have seen impressive results: Last year, City Year reports that 90 percent of third-through-fifth-graders improved their literacy scores, 55 percent of middle school students improved their attendance and 90 percent of ninth graders said City Year members helped them better understand their coursework.
Part of City Year's task in Denver will also be to "build a positive school culture," Park says. Four of the five DPS schools have recently gone through painful transitions in an attempt to boost performance. At Montbello, for example, the traditional high school is being phased out in favor of three smaller schools: a college prep academy, a high-tech early college and a branch of the Denver Center for International Studies school.
"One of the reasons we're in the schools we are is because they're all going through a cultural transition," Park says. "We hope to help make those schools feel welcoming."

Hello 93etc
I have a 93 Deville that the caddy dealer diagnosed with a blown head gasket.
He said it was routine with 93 Cadillacs.
They put in new gaskets and very soon afterwards the oil pump clogged with gasket material and caused the engine bearings to burn out and kill the oil pressure and caused the engine to sound like a bucket of bolts.
Fortunately I had a repair policy and they paid to put in new bearings.
I write because in the interim I discovered an engine rebuilder who did rebuilding for many of the Dealers on the north shore in the Boston area who said he would do a complete rebuild for $2600.
So even though the engine still has some noise I've got the rebuilder as a fallback. $2600 doesn't seem bad.
I would think if you call around you could come close to that price in your area.
I did have a couple of local Cadillac dealer repair shops that a 93 Deville engine could not be rebuilt because the walls were too thin around the pistons.
Good luck

Speak, Memory
THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE – December 8, 1997
Speak, Memory
Remember when remembering was something you didn't need a laptop
or a therapist for?
MEMORY, ALL KINDS of memory, is exploding. Since
the early eighties, when I switched from merely typing words to processing
them, the memory in my desktop computer has got four hundred thousand per
cent bigger. Back then, almost all mechanical communication took place by
phone, entirely evanescent; now, however, much of the best chatter is by
microprocessed fax and E-mail, stored indefinitely in bottomless computer
memories. Our telephones remember whom we just called; computers remember
the last three hundred Web sites we visited. A whole new fin-de-siècle
TV genre—videos:
funniest, scariest, deadliest—exists entirely as a function of the
proliferation of dirt-cheap electronic memory.
As artificial memory has expanded, we have come to
think of our own brains as computers, and of each individual's memory as infinitely accessible,
full of retrievable terabytes of juicy information dating back to childhood.
According to this cyber-Freudian idea, human memory is not itself selective
but only selectively accessed. Thus, during the last decade many minds have
proven vulnerable to hackers—that is, to the psychotherapists who encourage
patients to "remember" lurid fictions as actual facts from their
own lives. During Patricia Burgus's treat-ment for depression in the
late eighties and early nineties at a hospital in Chicago, for instance,
psychiatrists used drugs and hypnosis to help her "recall" that
she had sex with John F. Kennedy (an incident nowhere to be found in Seymour
Hersh's "The Dark Side of Camelot"), belonged to a satanic
cult, and ate human flesh. Burgus eventually realized that she had not been
a devil-worshipping cannibal after all, or one of J.F.K.'s floozies,
and two weeks ago she got a $10.6-million settlement from her former caregivers.
In this age of fungible memory, many of the most
exciting "recovered" episodes
turn out to be fabrications—like the sexual-blackmail contracts between
President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe that Sy Hersh discovered were spurious
and left out of his book, and accounts of White House meetings that Robert
Reich embellished for his recent memoir, "Locked in the Cabinet." It
was the recovered-memory vogue that helped turn an obscure 1991 fiction (Kathryn
Harrison's "Thicker Than Water") into best-selling 1997
fact (Kathryn Harrison's "The Kiss"). But a lot of entirely
bona-fide memories have been recovered this season as well. The unearthed
cache of videotapes that show President Clinton schmoozing campaign donors
was damaging not just because of the money-for-influence spectacles the tapes
recorded but because the tapes existed at all: indiscriminate electronic
recording of Presidential conversations in the White House smells bad—Watergate
Lite. Soon after the Clinton videos turned up, in fact, so did a fresh new
batch of Watergate transcripts, as if the national hard drive contained a
single "Scandal, White House, tapes" file, and clicking on 1996
democrats caused 1971 republicans to pop open as well. The recovered Watergate
memories don't depict Nixon as a satanist—not officially, anyway. "The
Jews, you know . . . are stealing everything," Nixon says to Haldeman
on one of the newly transcribed tapes. And, another time, "You
see, the I.R.S. is full of Jews."
That same week, we learned that Clare Boothe Luce,
the yin to Nixon's
yang, had kept handwritten notes of her several LSD experiences during the
early sixties. While tripping, the former Ambassador and congresswoman noted
her intention to "Capture green bug for future reference." She
had the bad-trip epiphanies ("The futility of the search to become
one. Do you hear the drum?") as well as the good-trip epiphanies ("Mountains
in distance seem . . . more relaxed. . . . Nature can do nothing awkward,
or tasteless.")
Why did she keep the notes secret? She realized that
a person in her position—the
wife of the editor-in-chief of Time, Inc.!—ought not to be seen endorsing
acid. In that sense she was the first among tens of millions of Americans
to cope with a peculiar problem of the late twentieth century: Mrs. Luce
chose to recover her memories posthumously, several decades after the fact,
just as baby-boomer parents who took drugs decades ago dissemble about the
subject now, choosing to practice selective memory until their children are
Bill Clinton, when asked if he remembered smoking
marijuana, made his most celebrated and telling public utterance, his version
of Nixon's "I
am not a crook" or Reagan's "I don't recall": "I
didn't inhale" had the requisite hair-splitting, the desire to
please everyone, and the convenient slipperiness of memory—especially
pre-home-video memory. Recovered memories have consistently caused trouble
for Clinton (Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, James McDougal). Now former Presidential
counsellor George Stephanopoulos is writing a memoir of his White House service,
and although it has been widely reported that he hired a "memory consultant" to
help him, Stephanopoulos says no, he's doing it the old-fashioned way.
He told me, "I'm having no problems reconstructing memories."

from The Book of the Salt Sand Tear:

Great Plains wheat growers looking to keep greenbugs in check have an assortment of information tools at their fingertips, thanks to a website developed by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and colleagues at Oklahoma State University (OSU) and a private firm.
Among the sites features is a printable version of Glance 'n Go, a sequential sampling form that growers can use out in the field.
Greenbugs, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), are tiny, light-green aphids that are the key insect pests in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in much of the southern and central Plains. In some years, they cause more than $100 million in losses.
The website, called the Greenbug Management Decision Support Tool, is part of a pest-management system developed by three Stillwater, Okla.-based entities: ARS Wheat, Peanut and Other Field Crops Research Unit, OSU, and Site-Specific Technology Development Group, Inc. The Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology helped fund the system.
According to biologist Norman Elliott, who led ARS efforts in this project, the site helps users make money-based decisions on greenbug control by helping with aphid identification, offering information about the insects natural enemies and registered insecticides. It also features an Economic Threshold Calculator that helps users determine how many greenbugs a field can hold before their crop is impacted.
The easy-to-carry "Glance n Go" forms--developed by the three collaborating groups--include a simplified version of this calculator. The forms give growers a fast, easy way to estimate the level of greenbug infestation by counting the number of infested stalks. The new version also allows growers to determine the presence of beneficial wasps that attack greenbugs.
The greenbug site, which is part of the OSU Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology website, can be accessed at:
The management system is part of ARS Areawide Pest Management for Wheat program, which is dedicated to controlling greenbugs and Russian wheat aphids.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agricultures chief in-house scientific research agency.

Banana lovers better satiate their appetites now. The world's supply of the fruit is under attack.
According to Scientific American, strains of a particular soil fungus -- Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, or Foc -- have struck a key variety of banana grown for export in Mozambique and Jordan. Scientists fear that if the banana fungus spreads further, the popular Cavendish banana could become critically threatened.
The fungus, which has been found on several plantations, causes the incurable Panama disease, or Fusarium wilt, that rots bananas. In the 1950s, another strain of the banana fungus nearly wiped out the Gros Michel cultivar, once as common as the Cavendish variety. After the fungus decimated banana populations in Central and South America, producers switched to the Cavendish, which was resistant to the strain of fungus at the time.

Delaware company wins NASA spacesuit contract
ILC Dover's latest spacesuit design could eventually take astronauts back to the moon or even to Mars.
NASA has awarded an 18-month contract to ILC Dover to design, manufacture, and test the next generation of the space agency's spacesuits. Dubbed the Z-2, the new suits will be designed to improve spacewalk capability for astronauts and will be able to operate at higher pressure than previous suits. That increased pressure capability should improve efficiency when astronauts are performing spacewalks.
"We are honored to have been awarded this contract," said ILC's Space Suit Assembly Product Manager Patricia Stoll. "We look forward to working with NASA to develop the next generation space suit that may eventually walk on the surface of the moon or Mars."
The Z-2 will be designed to work with all of NASA's portable life systems current being developed at the Johnson Space Center. They'll also work with both classical air locks and the latest NASA designs.
ILC Dover has been in the business of making space suits since the Apollo program. The company's suits have been worn on every manned U.S. space mission. The company also produced the airbags that cushioned the descent of NASA's Pathfinder, Spirit and Opportunity landers as they hit the surface of Mars.

Researchers tracking a polar bear outfitted with a radio-collar found that she swam an astounding 426 miles without a break in search of scarce ice floes and food in the Arctic sea, according to the academic journal Polar Biology.
The 500-pound female polar bear, known as 20741, swam for nine days without stopping before reaching an ice pack. She then walked or swam 1,118 more miles before reaching Alaskan soil a few miles from the Canadian border.
The bear lost 22% of her body mass and her yearling cub, according to the article published last month in the Polar Biology by U.S. Geological Survey and University of Wyoming researchers
Polar bears use sea ice to hunt for seals, their main prey.
The report concludes that polar bears can respond to a changing Arctic, said USGS research zoologist George Durner, but that there are limits to that ability as sea ice diminishes, the Associated Press reports.
"If we continue to see declines in the extent of Arctic sea ice, it's hard to imagine that a bear would be capable of swimming much farther than that," Durner tells the AP. "I'm not saying that's the limit, but it just boggles my mind."

Man Utd beat Chelsea and go two points clear
Man Utd 3 Chelsea 1
Manchester United claimed a record-equalling 18th successive home win to march two points clear at the Premier League summit with victory at Old Trafford. And that does not even scratch the surface of a day of drama against Chelsea.
First-half goals from Chris Smalling, Nani and Wayne Rooney - his ninth of the season - proved enough for the hosts.
However, Rooney also had a 'Moscow moment' missing a second-half penalty, slipping as he went to strike it, Fernando Torres scored only his second Chelsea goal, then unbelievably fired wide of a completely empty net after rounding David de Gea.
De Gea had already repelled a marginally less glaring chance for Ramires and in stoppage time, Dimitar Berbatov was denied by Cole, whose earlier poor challenge on Javier Hernandez had led the Mexican to hobble off in considerable pain.
It all ended with United matching an achievement from the 1904-05 season, when they were a Second Division club.
Correctly, Ferguson observed this was United's toughest test to date.
The same could also be said of Villas-Boas' Chelsea though. And they came up short.
Tottenham 4 Liverpool 0
Emmanuel Adebayor scored twice on his home debut as Tottenham hammered four past nine-man Liverpool to earn a morale-boosting first home win of the season.
Luka Modric opened the scoring with a blistering 20-yard strike before Charlie Adam picked up a second yellow card for a late foul on Scott Parker.
Martin Skrtel, who had a torrid afternoon at right-back thanks to Gareth Bale, was sent off for two bookings in the second half before Jermain Defoe calmly slotted home to make it 2-0 in the 66th minute.
Adebayor, who scored on his debut against Wolves last week, scored a tap-in soon after before he volleyed past Jose Reina to seal the win in stoppage time.
Fresh off the back of last week's first win of the season, Tottenham looked a class apart against their Champions League rivals, but their cause was helped by the two dismissals.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish, who met referees' chief Mike Riley this week after venting his anger at Mark Clattenburg's decisions against his team last weekend, was furious with Lee Probert's decision-making at times today, stopping the official as he went down the tunnel at half-time.
Right from the kick-off it looked like there was only ever going to be one winner in this match.
Sunderland 4 Stoke 0
Steve Bruce heaved a huge sigh of relief as Sunderland demolished Stoke to claim their first victory of the season.
The Black Cats roared into a 3-0 lead within 28 first-half minutes to lay the foundation for just their third Barclays Premier League win of 2011 at the Stadium of Light.
Titus Bramble's first strike for the club gave them a fifth-minute advantage and an own goal from former Newcastle team-mate Jonathan Woodgate six minutes later left Stoke, who were unbeaten in nine games in all competitions before today, in deep trouble.
Craig Gardner made it 3-0 with a deflected shot and Sebastian Larsson curled home a fine 58th-minute free-kick to leave those who had stayed away - the match was watched by a crowd of just 32,296 - regretting their decision.
Sunderland, who had scored only twice in their previous five games, were simply irresistible, significantly with seven of Bruce's 11 summer signings in the starting line-up.
Fulham 2 Manchester City 2
Manchester City surrendered their 100% record in this season's Barclays Premier League as Fulham stunned them with a second-half comeback at Craven Cottage.
City looked set to equal their best ever opening to a top-flight campaign when Sergio Aguero's jaw-dropping adaptation to life in England continued with the seventh and eighth goals of his five-game City league career.
He made it 2-0 just seconds after the break today but Fulham refused to buckle, with Bobby Zamora and Danny Murphy earning them a deserved draw.
The result was the first blow to City's title challenge and, coming four days after their first ever Champions League game, it cast doubt on the ability of Roberto Mancini's men to combine the rigours of domestic football with that of Europe's top club competition.
Today's game was the fourth time in the last four rounds of Premier League fixtures that City had kicked off before Manchester United.

SafetyBus p Club makes surprise choice for new chairman

Dr. Richard Piggin
Hannover, Germany - At the Annual Members' Meeting of the independent SafetyBUS p Club International e.V. held here, Dr Richard Piggin was elected Chairman for the next three years. This is the first time that a Chairman has been elected from outside Germany, the birthplace of SafetyBUS. Club members say this reflects the way in which SafetyBUS p is being adopted for safety-critical applications around the world.
Several new initiatives of the club were also announced. One of the most important developments is an agreement to establish a Conformance Test Centre at the University of Warwick in the U.K.
While most industrial fieldbus foundations have conformance test centres, because of the safety issues relating to the SafetyBUS p system, the facility at the University of Warwick will be going a step further, Dr. Piggin explained. Whereas other conformance test centres merely check the conformance of the network interface, the SafetyBUS p Conformance Test Centre will also check the conformance of the device's operation, which is essential to ensure that the safety functionality meets the specification, he said.
In addition, a set of integration tools has been launched to assist vendors who wish to incorporate a SafetyBUS p interface within their products. There are four PC-based software tools (a PSS (programmable safety system) ISI monitor, an application simulator, an error text editor and an MFP analyser) as well as an evaluation board and a DDF generator.
The SafetyBus p Club was founded in 1999 and comprises over 40 members; there are some 30,000 SafetyBUS p installed nodes to date.

Yes, it is all true and actually I have known it fro a very long
time, so it is probably documented (but I can't check that right
now). Therefore there was no need to sort the list before running the
code and SameTest could be simply (#2-#1<0.3&). I suppose I faield
to think of that because I so used to working with spaces more
general the just the real line. The code will work, I think, with a
sequence of complex numbers (and Abs can even be replaced by Norm)
where we identify them if they are less than espilon apart in the
complex plane.
I have never tested how fast it is; probably not very fast, since
Union works much faster with the default value of SameTest (the same
is true for Sort which is much slower with a user defined ordering

One way ticket from Europe in mid summer-any help appreciated!
Sun, 06/01/2014 - 16:39
We find ouselves needing a one- way ticket from Europe at the end of July (July 31, could be a few days later but not earlier). We are meeting our daughter in Europe and then returning all together to the USA after a few weeks in Menorca. This was sort of a last minute change in plans, she is coming home for the Summer before returning to teach English in China, and decided to stop in Europe for the month.
We live in upstate New York. From what I can see I can get the best round trip ticket to Madrid, Dublin or Amsterdam, with Madrid working the best for us since the intra Europe flights are lower for that city to the locations we need to be. This is for flights flying from either Toronto or New York ( JFK or Newark). Washington DC are (incl Baltimore) and Boston are also OK since we have family in those cities that my daughter would like to visit before she returns to China.
Well… a very rude shock to find how expensive a one-way ticket in July will be! I have tried Skyscanner,, search engines, etc., and even looked at round-trip ticket with the intention of dropping the back end, but am not finding anything under the 8—9 hundred dollar range. Well, there is a $580 ticket Madrid-Istanbul-JFK ,and another Dublin-Oslo- JFK, but they have a long wait and, when I add a connection flight from Barcelona, it's pretty much back up into the same price range?
Does anyone have any ideas? She is coming from China (Wuhan) on 6/29 or 6/30, and there is a direct flight to Paris. If I booked her ticket from China all the way to the USA, using either a multi city round trip or two step one way, could I do better that way? Any information or help would be very appreciate! I've not got much time and I'm really stumped on this one.


text: Just finished repair works. SleazyRider, you're right, I was able to tap out the firing pin retainer from the bottom. The firing pin broke (was a one-piece construction). I grinded a piece of a 4mm cylindrical hard steel to make the firing pin and used a concrete nail for the retainer pin using the same dimension of the old one (although the new one is slightly bigger in diameter for me to force-fit it into the slide hole). Instead of using non-metal mallet, i used a tap hammer but taped the slide with tape to prevent possible scratches when hitting the slide's surface (the pin cooperated so much that the tapping resulted into a nice pin curvature...). I also replaced the hammer block pin (the old one is somewhat bent already in the mddle) with a hardened 4mm steel bolt. Good to go.
