London, UK (SPX) Apr 26, 2011
Researchers have discovered 122 new eclipsing binary stars and observed hundreds more variable stars in an innovative survey using NASA's two STEREO solar satellites. The survey has been carried out by team from the Open University, University of Central Lancashire and the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Dr Danielle Bewsher will present highlights at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales.
STEREO was launched in 2006 to study the Sun in 3D and coronal mass ejections, the cause of space weather. Each STEREO spacecraft carries a Heliospheric Imager (HI), each instrument comprising two cameras (HI-1 and HI-2) built and developed at the STFC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the University of Birmingham. The HI cameras are able to make such stable measurements that researchers can accurately monitor the brightness of stars in the background.
"Although STEREO is primarily a solar mission, we recognised that the stability of the HI cameras could also be used to monitor variations of the brightness of stars," said Bewsher, of the University of Central Lancashire.
"To date, 893 000 stars have passed through the HI-1 field-of-view alone, producing an unexpected resource of scientific data about the variability of stars that is currently being data mined."
The lead author, Karl Wraight, an STFC PhD student at the OU, has found the 122 new eclipsing binaries during an initial analysis of the data, and expects many more to be discovered.
"STEREO's ability to sample continuously for up to 20 days, coupled with repeat viewings from the twin spacecraft during the year, makes it an invaluable resource for researching variable stars. As well as making discoveries, observations from HI are enabling us to pin down the periods of known variables with much greater accuracy," said Wraight.
In addition to studying variable stars, the team believes that HI measurements may be used for exoplanet and astroseismology research.
"Very small changes to the brightnesses of stars can be detected, which could reveal the presence of transiting exoplanets, or be used to trace a star's internal structure by measuring their seismic activity," said Professor Glenn White (RAL and OU).

I really hate self-indugent drek masquerading as an insightful window into who I really am, but this is a vanity page, so I guess I have to be vain. I was born in Long Beach California in 1960 -- a real California native. I grew up in Orange County, mostly in Huntington Beach (Surf City, d00d!), and attended UC Irvine as a Biology, and then Computer Science major.
I pretty much figured out that I was gay by the time that I was 14, but was rather freaked out about it until I was about 18, or so. It has pretty much colored a lot of my views about life, and has particularly made me angry and disgusted with organized religion. The feeling is quite mutual, I assume.
I have been a life-long little "l" libertarian, which really translates to social tolerance and fiscal conservatism (ie capitalism). I was greatly influenced by Ayn Rand, but I really don't agree with her dogmatic approach to moral absolutism, though her complaints about the limits of moral relativism are well taken. Generally, if she sticks to politics, her polemics are pretty spot on. Her rants against religion are precious too, and I am particularly fond of an essay against the papal encyclical which forbade birth control in the 60's. Her lunacy about music (Beethoven intrinsically bad? Snort.) and other aesthetic issues are best ignored.
I started my own company, Gordian, with two partners in 1985 and left Gordian in January 1994 to live in San Francisco. I've been really happy up here, and really enjoy my view of the entire city from the precipice that my houses is pearched on.
I am an active participant on the newsgroup soc.motss, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual group. Motss (which stands for member of the same sex) is an interesting and eclectic group with many flavours and moods. Motss consistantly has one of the highest caliber of intellectual discussion that I've found on the net, though it also has its ugly and inane moments.
Motss has many cliques, though they are mostly informal. My moving to San Francisco seems to have precipitated out the formation of the Cabal Noir -- a rogue bunch of net.thugs whose job is mostly to have fun, but also keep the newsgroup from becoming insufferably full of itself. We, on the other hand, are full of expensive wine and food. And nothing else. Promise.
I have always cooked, and have been doing so quite a bit since I've moved to San Francisco. I generally always cook dinner on Mondays for Melrose Place, and generally use it as a proving ground for new and innovative recipes I feel like trying/creating. I'm not a professional by any means, but I've had a lot of people tell me I should pursue it. *I*, however, am smarter than that, as I've worked in restaurants before and know what a long, tiring, and thankless job being a cook is. I really cannot fathom how the likes of Alice Waters keeps it up year in and year out. They probably wonder how I can sit in front of a computer all day too, so I guess we're even.
Eventually this will point to a page on cooking so you might try it if you're interested.
You cannot be a successful cook if you
And I do in fact love wine. I attribute most of current oenophilic pursuits to the late Howard Faye. I was interested in wine well before I was 18 though, and my folks would take us to wineries in Napa, where I learned some of the basics of wine.
- are skinny
- are not inventive in the face of disaster
- don't like wine
Wine is mostly about taste, and is something that you do by practice. Lots of practice. Many people are hung up on stupid false dichotomies about "red for meat, white for fish and poultry", but it all really depends. Wine radically changes flavor with the dish that you are eating, and so your impressions of that wine too. My best advice is to make a dish and either have a couple of different wines, or make it on different occassions and serve different wines, and watch the difference.
Taste is really an individual thing, so it's really hard to make categoric statements about what is "best" or most "suited" or anything like that. You have to trust your own judgement, but know that no matter what, there is some combination of this food and that wine that you haven't tried and try to keep an open mind. After all, that the perfect accompaniment to a Paul Prudhomme colesterol fest might be a nice Spanish Cava. How else would people have figured out that the perfect mate for a Foie Gras is a Sauternes, after all?
I'm working on a wine page which will eventually have all kinds of stuff on it. Give it a click to see if I have gotten off my lazy butt.

Zarkov tries to fix the rift blaster so that Flash can send Baylin back to Mongo, but they have to find her first. Ming sends Tyrus, another hunter, to bring Baylin back. Baylin eats potato salad. Meanwhile, Aura sees a new side of her father when a Verden man is arrested for ice smuggling.
The episode opens with the bounty hunter Baylin sitting in a tree eating potato salad. As a park ranger approaches, she makes herself invisible. She jumps down from the tree and becomes visible to the park ranger, then runs away.
At Zarkov's laboratory, Flash Gordon asks if the rift blaster can be fixed. Zarkov says he's not sure and even if he could fix it, they would still have to wait until Ming created a rift from Mongo. Zarkov explains to Flash that it takes a massive highly-focused sub-atomic blast to create a dimensional rift and the rift blaster just opens up a rift that's already there. Zarkov says that it's like ice fishing. If the water is one dimension and the air is another, if you want to fish, you break a hole in the ice. But as soon as you do, it begins to freeze over again. So, the rift blaster "blasts" it open again.
Dale Arden informs Flash and Zarkov that the bounty hunter from Mongo had been spotted in the park. Flash assures Zarkov that they'll find her and send her back to Mongo.
On Mongo, Rankol glides down a hallway to one of the prisoner cells, the one occupied by Tyrus. Rankol gives him the opportunity for freedom, if he would go to Earth, track down Baylin, and bring her back to Mongo. Failure would mean a swift death.
Act 1
As Zarkov is fixing the rift blaster, a Rift alert goes off. He calls Flash (who's at the park, where the ranger spotted Baylin) and tells him that a rift has opened up in the ship graveyard in the north harbor. Flash tells him that he'll check it out. Invisible and in a tree just above Flash, Baylin overhears the conversation and follows Flash.
At the ship graveyard, a rift opens and Tyrus appears from it, before attacking and giving chase to a security guard.
On Mongo, a Verden man is stopped by a security checkpoint. The guards check his vehicle and discover that he is smuggling ice, which is a crime punishable by death.
Back on Earth, Flash and Zarkov use the rift blaster to find the rift. The tracking function of the device seems to be working, but it may not actually open a rift. As extra protection, Flash brings along a the weapon he took from Baylin, thinking that if they had to deal with an alien from Mongo, it would be a good idea to have a weapon from Mongo. They pinpoint the exact location of the rift, then they try out the rift blaster to see if it works. It does and the rift becomes visible. A few seconds later, however, the rift begins to collapse. Zarkov warns Flash not to go through, unless he wants to become trapped between dimensions for an eternity.
As they leave the ship graveyard, they discover a dead security guard laying in the grass.
Act 2
Flash calls Dale and informs her about the rift and the dead body they found. Dale and her fiance Detective Joe Wylee leave the news station to investigate the dead security man's body.
When Flash gets home, he notices that someone might be in his house. Thinking that it's an intruder, he grabs a baseball bat. Baylin walks up to him from behind, then drops her invisibility. He swings the bat at her, but misses. She grabs him and pushes him against the wall. Then they push each other around more until Baylin reveals why she is at Flash's house: She wants to live there.
Tyrus is shown tracking Baylin's scent through the park. The same park ranger from before threatens to cite him. Tyrus takes out his "laser whip" and attacks the ranger with it, causing an intensely painful injury to the ranger. Then the park ranger runs away. Tyrus smells a nearby tree and senses Baylin's scent on it.
Flash explains to the bounty hunter woman that she cannot stay in his house. She tells him that until he can return her to Mongo, that she is staying. At this point, she reveals to him that her name is Baylin, of the Verden.
At the ship graveyard, Dale reports on the murder investigation, saying that although there is no explanation for the mysterious death, police are not ruling out foul play. After her news report, Joe tells Dale that he's never seen a wound like that before. It was as if the man was electrocuted. Joe gets a phone call, informing him of another victim that's still alive.
On Mongo, Rankol informs Ming that Tyrus has been sent to Earth to retrieve Baylin, by his orders. Ming is pleased, saying that he doesn't want a bunch of Verden on Earth attracting attention. Until the time comes, the less humans know of Mongo, the better. Rankol the informs Ming of a Verden man that had been caught smuggling Frigian glacial ice, 99% pre-Sorrow, which is cleaner than source water. Ming tells Rankol that the penalty for smuggling is clear and tells him to prepare the execution. Rankol has reservations, but Ming makes it clear that ice smuggling is an act of defiance and will not be tolerated. He tells Rankol to schedule the execution at dawn.
Back on Earth, Dale and Joe question the park ranger who had been hurt by Tyrus. He tells him that the man that attacked him had a whip that lit up, like a light saber. He also tells them that he saw an invisible woman eating potato salad. He tells them that he thinks that the man and woman that he saw in the park were both aliens. Joe thinks that the guy was just crazy, and Dale agrees (although she really does know that the ranger was telling the truth).
Flash informs Dale that Baylin is staying at his house. After arriving at the house, Dale and Flash tell Baylin about the man with the "laser whip". She immediately knows who it is and realizes that the man with the whip is on Earth to find her, and not Flash. Then she shoots and stuns Flash and Dale.
Act 3
Baylin ties them up and prepares to leave. But Tyrus breaks into the house before she can leave. He sniffs Flash and Dale, then asks Baylin who they are. She tells him that they're no one, that they're weak lifeforms. Then Tyrus grabs Baylin and pulls her outside, leaving Flash and Dale still tied up in the hall.
On Mongo, Aura complains to her servant that her father is treating her unfairly, saying that it wasn't really her fault that the Imex was destroyed. Afterwards, her servant says that her sister is in trouble and asks if she can have a moment of Aura's time.
Back at Flash's house, Dale and Flash attempt to get out of their bindings.
On Mongo, the servant's sister tells Aura that her Verden husband is set to be executed. But she says that he's not a smuggler. They needed the ice for their sick daughter. Aura tells her that her husband had broken the law, but then begins to feel sorry for the woman's daughter, who may die if she doesn't get clean water.
Back at the house, Dale and Flash are still tied up. Zarkov keeps calling Flash, but since he's tied up, he can't answer his phone. Zarkov leaves a message on Flash's phone saying that he thinks that he's finally fixed the rift blaster and is going back to the ship graveyard to test it out. He tells Flash to meet him there. About a minute later, Dale and Flash get out of their bindings and Flash hears Zarkov's message.
Zarkov is shown walking through the abandoned ship containing the rift and is about to open it, but then he hears a noise and hides. He sees a large hairy man carrying a woman over his shoulder. The woman demands that he put her down and he does. Tyrus tells Baylin that he spent the last five cycles underground, caged like an animal. He says that the only thing that kept him alive was Baylin. She tells him that she does not love him. He reminds her that she is his bond mate and property. He pulls her and prepares to open the rift. But Baylin struggles away and takes his weapon. He tells her that when her own people gave her up, he took her in and took care of her. He says that she owes him her life. She says that she owes no one and then she attacks him with the "laser whip" and runs away. He gets up and chases after her. After they're gone, Zarkov comes out of hiding and grabs the rift blaster that Tyrus dropped.
Act 4
Ming is shown looking at a holographic representation of their solar system, showing Mongo being the third planet from the sun, out of five planets altogether. Aura tells her father that her going after the Imex was a mistake and a crime, but that she only did it because she loves him. She asks him why he is executing the Verden man that stole the ice. He tells her that smuggling ice is treason. No one can dispense ice but Ming himself.
Back on Earth, outside the ship graveyard, Zarkov is seen frantically running towards Flash's car. He tells Flash and Dale that he saw Tyrus and Baylin, but says that they didn't enter the rift. Zarkov holds up two rift blasters, saying that he took the one that Tyrus had. Dale says it was a bad idea to take it, since they want the aliens gone more than they want a working rift blaster, and he decides to put it back where he found it.
On Mongo, the execution goes ahead as scheduled, although because he feels sorry for the man's sick daughter, Ming orders that the family receive 25 rations of source water and that the daughter get the best possible care.
On Earth, inside the ship with the rift, Flash puts Tyrus' rift blaster back where Zarkov found it. Then, Tyrus grabs Dale and tells Flash to deliver Baylin or he'll keep Dale for himself.
Act 5
Flash tries to talk Tyrus out of keeping Dale, but it's no use. Eventually, Baylin shows up and says that she'll go with Tyrus of her free will. Flash makes Tyrus think that Baylin is his property, which makes Tyrus angry, and even kisses her. Tyrus tries to ram Flash, but misses. Zarkov opens the rift, using the rift blaster and after a short fight, Flash pushes Tyrus through the open rift. After the rift collapses, Flash decides to open another one, so he can go to Mongo to search for his father. But when he activates the rift blaster, nothing happens, because the rift had permanently collapsed. He would have to search for his father another day.
On Mongo, Aura asks her father why he killed the Verden ice smuggler. He tells her that the drinking of Grey water creates deviates. Aura tells him that he knows that the smuggled water was not gray, but instead was clean. Ming says that that's irrelevant, that he will not allow distribution of any water outside of his control. She tells him that the Verden was just one man trying to save his daughter. But then Ming reminds her that he is one man trying to save a planet. Aura calls Ming a tyrant, in which he then says that the execution will send a message to all. He says that she may think him cruel, but his actions will save thousands of lives, whereas Aura's compassion would only save one.
The episode ends with Baylin oiling her naked body in Flash's backyard. Flash explains to Dale that that is how the people on Mongo bathe, so that they do not waste water. Dale catches Flash staring at Baylin and pulls him away, also telling him that Baylin needs to learn about the shower.

Jermichael Finley injury: Tight end to be released from hospital on Thursday, per report
By admin on March 18, 2017 at 10:25 am
Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is scheduled to be released from the hospital on Thursday, Jason La Canfora with CBS Sports reported on Wednesday. Finley was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of the Packers' win over the Browns last week after taking an ugly hit to the helmet from Tashaun Gipson. Finley reportedly suffered a bruised spinal cord in the hit. Doctors don't think the injury will permanently sideline Finley's career, but many people expect the Packers to place him on the injured reserve in the coming days. He was on his feet and walking after the night in the intensive care unit as a precaution. Kevin Love Kids Jersey Finley had 25 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns on the season. Finley's injury was yet another in a long line for the Packers this season. Linebacker Clay Matthews is out with a broken thumb and wide receiver James Jones missed Week 7 with […]Tags: Jermey Parnell Kids Jersey, Kevin Love Kids Jersey

Liberty Bell Publications is a publishing entity based in Reedy, West Virginia. It re-issued an imprint in the 1980s (the exact year is not known) of the 299-page compilation of the Protocols of Zion expanded with excepts from Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent. The original compilation was issued in 1934 by The Patriotic Publishing Co., an unincorporated entity having operated from Chicago, Illinois. This publishing entity also publishes other antisemitic and neo-Nazi items. It is primarily this version, which is associated with Victor E. Marsden, who died in 1920, misleadingly as the "author" of the "translation." Both versions can be easily identified by the slogan at the top of the first page: "United We Fall, Divided We Stand."

The same holds true for the poetical name that finally stuck with him: he named himself Basho after the plantain (some call it a banana plant) that disciples had planted in the garden of the cottage. The Koto City Basho Museum was built on what is believed to have been a place very close to Basho's hut.
[Basho Museum, Tokyo]
The original hut did not survive (in fact, there were three different 'Basho huts,' because fire once took its toll and another time Basho himself moved out on the faraway journey to northern Japan); the area was included in a samurai estate. When in 1917, after a tsunami hit a stone frog was found here that people believed to have been in Basho's possession (I do not know why, except the fact that he wrote a famous frog haiku! The frog stone can be seen in the museum), it was decided that this must have been the location of Basho's hut. Now a small Inari shrine occupies the spot just south of the museum. Opposite the shrine is a small rooftop park with a statue of Basho.
[Rooftop display near Basho Museum, Tokyo]
The museum's exhibits include calligraphies of Basho's haiku (amongst others by Buson); portraits of the poet; and an example of the clothes he may have worn when traveling, as well as an ingenious small writing brush with ink pot for use on the road. In the garden stand a few haiku stones as well as a miniature copy of Basho's hut. To remain wholly in style, the museum also has plantains growing against its walls.
Address: 1-6-3 Tokiwa, Koto-ku, Tokyo Tel. 03-3631-1448

deliberately so--irrationality or even anti-rationality at play in these
"language games". Very often, perhaps more often than not, there are
"political" agendas at work. Another anecdote: We had been reading some
article or other by Foucault in
which, in good Nietzschean fashion, he had reduced reason to power. I got into
an argument with another student, who happened to be a rather ardent feminist,
who thought that Foucault's position was useful in undermining the
"phallocentricity" of reason. So I asked her whether there wasn't something
reasonable about her claims--moral claims as well as political--about the
equality of women. If it is really only a question of power and who holds it,
the distinction between her position and that of, as I said at the time,
David Duke's was simply reducible to that of "whoever holds the means of power
determines what is right." She adamantly agreed: reasonableness and morality,
etc., were not at issue; obtaining the power necessary to enforce your
position was.
Is this a position that one can hold consistently and coherently? I don't
think so.
Is it one that can be held insistently and in the face of any possible
evidence to the contrary? I am afraid it can.
Indeed, whatever evidence there may be to the contrary can with surprizing
ease be read out of court in accordance with whatever ideological structure
one adheres to.

text: By SAM HANANELWASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ Veterans and disabled workers who often struggle to find work could have an easier time landing a job under new federal regulations. The rules, announced Tuesday by the Labor Department, will require most government contractors to set a goal of having disabled workers make up at least 7 percent of their employees. The benchmark for veterans would be 8 percent, a rate that could change from year to year depending on the overall number of former military members in the workforce. The new requirements could have a major impact on hiring since federal contractors and subcontractors account for about 16 million workers â¿¿ more than 20 percent of the nation's workforce. But some business groups have threatened legal action, complaining that the rules conflict with federal laws that discourage employers from asking about a job applicant's disability status. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez called the new policy a "win-win" that will benefit workers "who belong in the economic mainstream and deserve a chance to work and opportunity to succeed." He said it also would benefit employers by increasing their access to a diverse pool of new workers. "To create opportunity, we need to strengthen our civil rights laws and make sure they have the intended effect," Perez told reporters in a conference call announcing the rules. The unemployment rate for disabled workers is a staggering 14.7 percent, nearly twice the rate of 7.4 percent for the general population. The jobless rate for all veterans is 7.3 percent, but for veterans who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars it's 9.9 percent, according to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rules are expected to affect about 171,000 companies doing business with the federal government, said Patricia A. Shiu, director of the Labor Department's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Generally, the rules affect those contractors with at least 50 employees and $50,000 in government contracts.

Packed for the trip to Melbourne
In a few days I'll be headed down to Melbourne to install my exhibition 'City and Nature' at Gallerysmith Project Space. The artworks headed off a couple of weeks ago with Artwork Transport, with framed works in bubble wrap and large paper cut installation sections flat packed in cardboard and barrier paper. I pack the individual sections in order of how they will be pinned to the wall, which makes for a quicker install.
Which leaves me with the packing of some warm clothes, pins, some work to do down there and looking forward to seeing family.

Green living - City and Nature
'Green Living' ©2015 Nicola Moss. Hand cut papers, synthetic polymer paint, collagraph, frottage and monoprint. 77 x 97cm framed size.
During my recent travels in Japan and while on residency at Grafton Regional Gallery, I've been thinking about our relationship with natural environments. Cities are continually remade, yet city trees often instigate a sense of identity for communities. Some become memorials and landmarks, enriching sense of place; while others provide practical attributes of shade, fresh air and home for diverse creatures.
This body of new work responds to my experiences of curated ecology. I visit botanic gardens and walk city streets wherever I travel, finding inspiration from trees on high-rise rooftops, bonsai-d pot plants, living walls and wind dispersed opportunists. City and Nature is a place where, town planning, heritage and personal aesthetic; mixes with maintenance regimes and sense of well-being.
Nicola Moss.

Google Translate Now Speaks More Than 30 Languages
May 13, 2010 by Post Team
Google Translate Now Speaks More Than 30 Languages:Google continues its effort to become the workshop of one-stop translation, announcing today that it has added voice capabilities into more languages in Google Translate, the text translation tool polylingual.
The function uses the voice synthesizer eSpeak open source to convert text into sound, giving users of Google Translate's ability to hear how the words they are seeing are supposed to be pronounced.
eSpeak uses a "formant synthesis" method, which according to the project page "allows many languages to be included in a small [...] but it is not as smooth as the largest natural or synthesisers based on recordings human voice. "
Google first introduced its "text to speech" feature in November 2009, adding support for Haitian Creole, French, Italian and German in recent months.
Today's announcement adds functionality to text-to-speech for for Afrikaans, Albanian, Catalan, Chinese (Mandarin), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak Swahili, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh.
As we noted last week when looking at the addition of translation via text recognition to Google goggles, Google has been busy lately with many advances in the field of translation. The company has announced automatic subtitles for YouTube videos, the auto-translation of websites in Chrome and software to provide real-time speech translation via cell phones.

"emit rays of light," early 15c., from beam (n.) in the "ray of light" sense. Sense of "to smile radiantly" is from 1804; that of "to direct radio transmissions" is from 1927. Related: Beamed; beaming.
Old English beam originally "living tree," but by late 10c. also "rafter, post, ship's timber," from Proto-Germanic *baumaz (cf. Old Norse baðmr, Old Frisian bam "tree, gallows, beam," Middle Dutch boom, Old High German boum, German Baum "tree," Gothic bagms), perhaps from PIE verb root *bheue- "to grow" (see be). The shift from *-au- to -ea- is regular in Old English.
Meaning "ray of light" developed in Old English, probably because it was used by Bede to render Latin columna lucis, the Biblical "pillar of fire." Nautical sense of "one of the horizontal transverse timbers holding a ship together" is from early 13c., hence "greatest breadth of a ship," and slang broad in the beam "wide-hipped" (of persons). To be on the beam (1941) was originally an aviator's term for "to follow the course indicated by a radio beam."

Remembering Covering The Space Shuttle Challenger Explosion On College Radio
When we think of major national and international events that occur in our lifetime, we also remember the impact of it on ourselves – where we were, what we were doing and how we felt as it unfolded. As today is the anniversary of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger, I would like to share my day after first hearing about it and how I remember it today.
Twenty-nine years ago I was in the production studio of my college radio station, WNEK-FM in Springfield, MA, preparing for my first newscast of the semester. Where our newscasts were far from anything that would win a local Emmy and could easily be called "rip-and-read" reports, we always did a professional (or as professional as we could) job at presenting world and local news on the air. I was sitting at the console board recording audio clips from a network audio feed we had to accompany the stories I had collected thus far from the Associated Press teletype printer, or commonly referred to as the AP machine.
I was well aware of the Space Shuttle Challenger launch, especially as the crew included Christa McAuliffe, a schoolteacher from the neighboring state of New Hampshire, around whom there was a lot of buzz for her being on board. I listened for the reports from the audio feed and there was to be one for the Challenger launch, so I was prepared to "cart it up," or record it on a tape cartridge to play along with what I was to read from the AP machine story.
As I was listening and getting ready to record, the audio feed cut out. I recall calling out something like, "what the hell?" and then I heard the bells on the AP machine ringing as I had never heard them ring before. The AP machine, which was nothing more than a dot-matrix printer that printed on rolled paper, would sound bells when there was urgent news. In the few months on the college radio station I would hear bells ring, maybe once or twice, but not non-stop, or what it seemed. As I and others went to look at what was printing out, we saw initial stories about the launch of Challenger, then that "there appears to be a major problem after the launch of the shuttle 'Challenger.'", which was then followed with what is pictured above, "'NASA' says the vehicle has exploded.', which was then followed by messages about the successful launch of the shuttle, which apparently were written and sent before the explosion message.
My memory of this is amplified by the fact that for some reason I kept the initial news feeds that came off the AP machine on the explosion. Typically news stories are ripped, read and then discarded (thus, rip-and-read). I kept about 2 feet of the scrolled paper, which included the above alert, and the complete scanned images of the entire scroll are at the end of this post. Note the above alert went across 2 scanned images, thus I made this composite from both.
Following these alerts, there was a lot of activity in the radio station, which was located in our campus center. As there were no TVs in the campus center, we became the primary source for information on the explosion, and we even got the radio signal piped in over the campus center PA system. What was to become a 10-minute newscast at noontime engulfed more time from music programming and more people as well, as we were reporting on what was coming off the AP machine, as well as the network audio feed, which we had cut to directly, unedited, for a portion of time.
For most all of us, in our late teens to early 20's, we had really never lived through a large national tragedy like this. Then add to it our role in broadcasting it. Where we tried to not be chaotic and somewhat organized about it, for most of us we were making up our approach as we went along. There was plenty of stepping on each other's toes and voices and literally bumping into each other as we moved around our small studio space. The doors from the broadcast studio and lobby were all open – a major faux pas – as station members and students and faculty were coming and going to hear what was transpiring.
As the day went on, TVs were brought into the campus center, allowing all of us who had only heard about the explosion to actually see it. I remember being in awe as I saw the video played over and over and over and over. I also recall a mix of emotions, from tragedy and sadness, to thinking of all the school children who were watching this live, to why it happened after so many successful launches. The last loss of life for NASA happened before I was born, and after growing up seeing other launches, moon landings and successful returns to earth, this was something entirely new to think about.
Nearly three decades later, we know about O-rings, known engineering flaws, the loss of another shuttle vehicle and the remaining ones are now on their way to museums. Then President Ronald Reagan's speech to the nation was perfect for the moment then and reflecting on it today, and you can view it here on YouTube. I share the images and memory of this as the these types of stories need to be told, not just the headlines but what happened behind and around them, as these show the complete fabric of our society.

My Guest Post On The CorporateStays.com Blog
I was recently invited to write a guest post on the blog for CorporateStays.com, a service which matches luxury accommodations for travelers in select cities in the world like Montreal, Miami and Panama City. Digging into my experience with travel, I decided to write about tips for traveling in the winter months. My post, Travel Tips for Travelling to a Wintery Destination, is now live.
Where my typical writing is about business and technology, I file this under the "occasional diversion" I refer to in the description of The Hot Iron. The more I write, the more these come to mind, and the more these may be available to read by you and others.
Thanks to my good friend CT Moore and the staff at CorporateStays.com for the opportunity to write this.

Mixing It Up In 2015 And The Hot Iron Turns 8
Happy 2015! As today, the second day of January, officially marks the first business day of the year, and by now most have recovered from the merriment of New Year's Eve, I would like to wish you all a great new year.
Where rolling to a new calendar also comes with resolutions, mine is simply to mix it up in 2015. I started the new year off much differently than I did in past years: sans kids, just me and my lovely wife at a Spanish restaurant, where just about every year that I can remember has involved Chinese food (a Boston tradition) and the past several years have been with our kids, even if they were sleeping in the next room. This was a fun change, and a great way to ring in 2015.
So in mixing it up in 2015, I am not looking to make major strategy changes, but smaller, incremental changes that I see as adding up to something bigger and better. Maybe I take a different route to go someplace, or a different approach to reaching out to someone, or simply wear a different color socks on occasion – I am hoping to stop and think when I get into doing something routine or that comes too natural to me, and think how to change it in some way.
The Hot Iron at 8
December 30 marks the official anniversary of the launch of this little blog which is now 8 years old. It's almost wild to think I have been at this, at varying degrees, this long. Writing is something I have enjoyed more and more over time, and it has been both a creative outlet as well as a way to vent some of my frustrations over business and technology – the overarching theme of this repository. Whether this is your first time reading or you are a long time subscriber – thank you!
I have written an anniversary post of mixed sorts over the years, and if you're so inclined you can read them for the following anniversaries of The Hot Iron: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh.

Celebrating Christmas 2014 In A Traditional and Non-Traditional Way
To all of my family, friends and readers who celebrate the holiday, Merry Christmas! To everyone else, have a great Thursday!
As the origin of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ, I share the above picture of my nativity scene. This was a gift from my Mom many years ago, as she gave myself and my sister identical nativities. I am proud to share it with my little ones.
So that is the traditional celebration of Christmas. Now for the non-traditional way.
I ran across this video the other day and I was speechless. It is a Star Wars Christmas special that aired on TV back in 1978. You can read the full story about it here if you'd like, or you can just view the show embedded below or by following this link to Vimeo.
Though I was a young lad back in 1978, I don't remember this show that aired only once. After watching it – ok, even reading the premise of it – that is probably a good thing. If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan or just a casual one, you will find this amusing to say the least.
If you like it, then consider it my gift to you. If you don't, then we can just forget about it.

Join Me And Support Barrel Of Monkeys For Giving Tuesday 2014 #givingtuesday
After Thanksgiving Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, if you have anything left, I welcome you to join me and support a great organization, Barrel of Monkeys, for Giving Tuesday.
Though I don't know the story about how Giving Tuesday came to be, I know well the story of Barrel of Monkeys – what they do, how they do it, and the impact they have made on school kids in Chicago.
In short, Barrel of Monkeys teaches elementary school kids creative writing in several Chicago Public Schools and an after-school program. They learn how to create a story from beginning to end, journaling them in their notebooks. These stories are then adapted into sketch comedy by the Barrel of Monkeys company members and performed for the students in their schools. So not only do they learn how to write creatively, they also see their work come to life!
But that's not where it ends – every week there is a performance by the Barrel of Monkeys company members, where several of these sketches are performed to audiences live. Each sketch is introduced and the student author is acknowledged, and the program given to each audience member has what the students actually wrote – sometimes it's just a sentence, other times it's several paragraphs and everywhere in between. The company members donate their time to perform, and all money raised goes back into the overall program.
The preceding gives only a synopsis of the great work Barrel of Monkeys does – you can read more on their Web site @ barrelofmonkeys.org or see for yourself their programs and some of their sketch comedy performances on their YouTube channel.
Below is a funny video promoting Giving Tuesday and Barrel of Monkeys, performed by Barrel of Monkeys company members and staff Elizabeth and Joseph – watch the embedded video below or you can view it directly on their YouTube channel.
Thank you for your support! And why would I be thanking you and promoting Barrel of Monkeys? I am proud a member of their Board of Directors.

What I Learned From Writing What I Learned This Past Year
Earlier this year I decided to write weekly posts here at The Hot Iron about what I learned over the past 7 days. Over 8 months I wrote 32 posts sharing numerous things that I learned. I wrote the last one on August 29, 2014, which will be my last in this series.
Fun for me while it lasted
The catalyst for this topic thread was simple - I had too many things I learned and/or wanted to write about but not enough time to write the posts. As much as I would like to simply "bang out" my thoughts on the keyboard, for me the writing process is more elaborate than that, from the thought on the topic to writing, to editing, to an accompanying photo… it takes me time. That being said, writing is something I enjoy and is a great creative outlet for me.
Writing posts that were more of a collection of nuggets of information was a good idea at first and something that interested me. I was also hoping to write single-topic pieces as well. Over time though the thrill waned and then it got to where I was not writing one every week, then the most recent gap of a couple of months. As for those single-topic pieces, they were few and far between.
Back to where it began
I've decided to retire this thread and return to writing as I gave before - posts on single topics on business and technology and other occasional diversions. For those of you who are my loyal readers I thank you and I hope that you'll enjoy this change as well. As always, I will never fully promise any number of posts, but am hoping to at least write one a week.
Still learning
As I still get disappointed when a day goes by when I don't learn something, I am still logging those thoughts and will be sharing them on my Twitter account – you can follow me there at @thehotiron. Of course there may be more diversions than in the blog itself, as well as more conversations and other thoughts but I still share all the business and tech news with my unbiased opinion as much as possible.
I hope you won't miss my "learned" posts – or will you? Please let me know either way in the comments to this post.

What I Learned This Week For August 29 2014
At an early hour with a full cup of coffee…
- While browsing the aisles at the local Jewel supermarket, something caught my eye, and something I was not expecting to find in the Midwest – Friendly's ice cream. Friendly's is a predominately East-coast chain of restaurants which is headquartered near where I grew up. As I looked through the flavors, one caught my eye – black raspberry. Now note this is black raspberry ice cream and not sherbet – out East black raspberry ice cream is very common, but I have yet to see it in Chicagoland or Wisconsin. So of course I got some and had a small trip down memory lane. Now if they only had maple walnut, then I would have cried.
- Speaking of crying, I did shed a few tears of joy and Dad pride as my oldest daughter rode her bike with 2 wheels and without training wheels for the first time this week. As we are now closer to a park that is kid-friendly, she has simply been able to ride her bike more, and was determined to do it.
- Now that the Ventra system is the only way to pay for transit rides in Chicago, I am noticing more and more usability issues with it. One thing that bugs me is the auto-replenishment of your account, where you can enter credit card numbers online, and choose 1 to do the replenish. With the old Chicago Card system, it would send an email alert when it replenished your account, or if it was unable to. The new Ventra site does not do that, so the time you find out if your account is at zero is when trying to board a train or bus, or more likely a bus as there won't be a replenishment kiosk there. I should probably keep a running list of the things I find for a separate blog post on it.
- An esteemed colleague shared with me information about the Kuando Busylight, a device which you attach to your computer monitor and changes colors when you are on the phone or when you set your status to "busy" so people won't disturb you in the office place. Where the idea is clever, in my opinion I see this more of a Band-Aid approach to the failings of the modern office setup… something else I could probably write a whole blog post on.
- I received a "video bill" from Comcast this week. It used my first name, and told me my balance for the services I have and the due date. I thought this was extremely clever not to mention informative, even for a techie person like myself. The only problem with it? I cannot share or embed the video! The video is done using a service from a company called SundaySky. Not having this feature is something that could really make this service successful. Now I wonder if I will get a video bill every month?
- If a vendor had a hard time getting to you and parking once, they will most likely do it again, so don't even bother giving them a second chance.
- This week I was browsing a few stores looking for a "temporary table" – something I could use for a short period of time before I bought (and first found) a permanent, nice table to use. As I looked around a thought came into my head from the wayback machine – you don't find cardboard furniture anymore in stores. Back in the 70's and 80's I remember you could get cardboard tables or shelving or other furniture made from cardboard. So of course I looked online and I found vendors there. Granted today we have particle board furniture from IKEA, but there's something about lighter, collapsible furniture that meets the need.
- I am still offering my loft condo in the Chicago Loop for rent. The price has been reduced – act now!
- Another esteemed colleague shared with me this timelapse video of 1,000 years of European borders changes. It is fascinating to watch, and the music is so appropriate to it. I have embedded it below or follow the previous link to watch it on YouTube.

What I Learned This Week For August 22 2014
Armed with a to-do list, and an item named "write blog post" has helped me get this relatively on-time out the door!
- I visited "The Maxwell" this week. It is a retail complex in Chicago's South Loop, whose name comes from the now-gone nearby Maxwell Street retail area. It combines street-level stores, upper level stores accessible through a lobby and parking. The lobby is nothing to look at, but its ceiling is, and is pictured here.
- Did you know I am renting my Chicago Loop loft condo?
- I had keys made this week at that big-box orange-logoed hardware chain. They had this machine that scanned the keys then cut them. Impressive, only that one of my keys did not work in one door. Then I went to the local Ace hardware store who had one of the "old-fashioned" key cutters where you manually trace the key to make a duplicate, and the key worked perfectly.
- I had an extremely positive experience with Comcast customer service this past week, and an incredibly painful experience with their technical support a few days later.
- The more I learn about mobile app development, the more I realize people don't really know what their app is doing, such as what and when it is accessing something either on your device or over the Internet.
- I have heard about IRS form 990, which a non-profit must file with its taxes. However, I have not ever really looked at one at depth or compared them against other organizations. I did so this week, for the group Barrel of Monkeys whose Board I have joined, as well as for the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Just create an account at GuideStar and look away!
- Strep – it's not just for your throat, and you can get strep in your nose and other body parts I won't mention.
- You can stain concrete. It is similar to staining wood, in that you are enhancing the appearance of the texture.
- My 10+ year old grocery cart finally came to an untimely collapse when one of the wheels snapped off and I wasn't able to repair it. I am honestly surprised it lasted that long.
- Amazon has a new feature called Amazon Smile where a non-profit organization you choose can earn a percentage of your purchases when you use the specific URL smile.amazon.com. It is unclear if the charity can earn money when you use the Amazon mobile app. I chose the Omayra Amaya Flamenco Dance Company Inc. to receive whatever pennies they can earn from my purchases. Omayra was a long-time client of my Web consulting business and she is an amazing dancer and performer. Check out her Web site and look for videos of her online to see, and choose her dance company to earn whatever you can send their way.
- This blog was down for about 8 hours this past week – did you notice?
- After my ordeal with Comcast I hooked up a new wireless router, a Cisco/Linksys EA3500. When I went to run the setup, I noticed something called "Smart Wi-Fi" which immediately caused me to shudder – this wasn't the typical, very techie setup and router administration I was used to. First off, it wanted me to create an account to remotely administer my router. Really? Then, the setup failed, which never – ever – previously happened to me. After a little searching, I found similar people lamenting to this, and a solution to revert to the traditional, previous router administration Web interface. Not surprising, everything worked as expected.
- Did I mention I am renting my loft condo in the Chicago Loop? Actually, I did blog about renting my condo.
- This week someone closed an email with "be good to yourself!!!" This took me aback. First, this is nothing I have ever gotten in writing from someone. As I thought more about it, I was trying to think of the last time anyone ever said it to me. Then it dawned on me, it did happen, and way back in the day, by people I have never met in person. Yes, I am referring to the song Be Good To Yourself by Journey. Watch it on this link to YouTube or see it embedded below, and either way take a trip back in time… and be good to yourself!!!

What I Learned This Week For August 8 and 15 2014
As the last 2 weeks have been a whirlwind for me, it's only fitting I post them together, on a Friday no less and on time for the second week. Yes, on time!
- This flyer that came in my mailbox piqued my interest. Not only is it a divorce auction – which means there is such a dispute among assets that they have to be sold this way – but it is an urgent one as well. Why urgent?
- This past week I was formally elected to the board of directors of Barrel of Monkeys, a Chicago non-profit organization that teaches inner-city kids creative writing skills, then takes what they write and creates sketch comedy which is not only performed for the kids themselves but in a weekly show called, That's Weird Grandma. It is an amazing organization and I am thrilled to be involved. How I got involved with them was through a LinkedIn search for local people who were interested in being on a board, which was only heightened by my good friend Linsey being one of the performing company members. You will be hearing more about BOM in future installments I promise you!
- My word for 2 weeks ago was lodgment. I was asked if this word was appropriate in describing when a mobile app was available in the app store. I admit I guessed the etymology of it, but still looked it up. I recommended simply saying it was available. Apparently lodgment is the preferred term in Australia.
- My word for this week was steganography. It is the concealment of a message within something else, or hiding something in plain sight. There are a lot of ways to do it, and it is a fascinating concept, and one which many of us – including myself – may have done at some point without even realizing it.
- Now that I am no longer building eCommerce sites with the technology, Miva Merchant is holding their next MivaCon conference in Chicago in September. As I would once again choose Miva Merchant if I were to build an eCommerce site, and it's like fifty dollars to attend, I may still go. It would be an opportunity to meet some of the people I have talked with over the years, and I am sure I could score some cool schwag in the process.
- As I got a new work PC I had to once again lookup how to send a Word document as an email message body within Word.
- I found out a friend is a Dad by a random comment he mentioned on his podcast. Granted we aren't all that close, but it was nice to hear. Got a picture of the little bundle of joy, and am overdue in replying to him. Why didn't I hear? As much as my friend is on social media, he didn't want to do that to his kid without their permission… something I do as well.
- The movie The Wizard of Oz premiered 75 years ago. It seems like only yesterday that the Munchkins were causing me nightmares as a child after watching it on a black and white TV no less.
- Tried the new Sofritas vegetarian option at Chipotle this week in a burrito, and I will definitely get it the next time.
- This week's video is far from one I have learned in the past few weeks. It is a Sesame Street video about brushing your teeth featuring Elmo and several celebrities. Somehow we found this, and the song is long enough for them to fully brush their teeth as recommended by dentists. Sometimes it takes the start of the video to get the kids into the bathroom and loading up their brushes. Though not new to me, perhaps it is something you can learn for this week as well.
