I don't think anyone would mind as long as your extra careful with it. When I first used it in he field I was just standing there listening to Brad and flinging it with my wrist when all of a sudden it took off. I had forgotten to keep my index finger and thumb tightly locked on each other and the disc slipped out. It probably ended up 50-60' away. Not something you want to happen in an offisc setting.

Davis police are asking residents there to be vigilant in locking their doors and calling the police about suspicious people.
Since this past Tuesday, the department has had six residential burglary reports at three different addresses.
According to Lt. Glenn Glasgow, Investigations Division Commander, for Davis Police two of the burglaries occurred at the Saratoga West Apartments, 2121 Glacier Drive while two more occurred at 224 A St., the A St. Apartments. The others occurred in the 700 block of Coolidge and 218 University avenues (Villa Verde Apartments).
Taken, according to Glasgow, were electronics and miscellaneous item. There were no obvious signs of forced entry on any of the burglaries and most occurred between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Glasgow notes that crime prevention while on vacation or away from home this time of year is critical and begins with making sure the home is protected while gone.
"The key is to make your home look like you never left," Glasgow reported.
The Davis Police Department would like to provide these useful tips to safeguarding your home and valuables, especially with the holiday season approaching:
n Always lock your doors and windows, especially when away from your home and while sleeping.
n Keep shades and blinds in their normal positions
n Stop mail and newspapers, or ask a trusted neighbor to pick them up every day.
n Put timers on several house-hold lights so they turn on and off at appropriate times.
n Arrange to have yard work done while you are gone.
n Make sure all your door and window locks are in working order. Activate your home alarm.
n Leave a radio on low, or put it on a timer.
n Turn off the ringer on your phone and turn down the volume on your answering machine. n Allow a trusted neighbor to park in your drive-way.
The Davis Police Department would also like to encourage residents to use our Vacation House Check Program as well as create a Neighborhood Watch Group for your neighborhood. Davis residents can obtain more information by calling 747-5411.

Filipino aristocracy, from a wealthy family background. She was educated in convent schools and she became the devoted wife of an ambitious journalist and aspiring politician. A homemaker, she enjoyed cooking pasta, playing games with her children and cultivating her garden. Devout, modest, shy and conservative, she has remarked that her happiest times were the three years of exile in Newton, Massachusetts where she lived a simple life outside of the political eye.
At the Far Eastern University in 1953, Corazon began dating Benigno Aquino, a wealthy and promising young man. She dropped out of her legal studies after one semester and they married on 10/11/1954, five kids. For the better part of three decades, she lived contentedly in the shadow of her husband.
By the early '70s, Aquino seemed a sure bet for the presidency, succeeding Marcos whose final term was ready to expire in 1973. Marcos had different ideas. In 1972 he declared martial law. His first political prisoner was Ninoy Acqino, who remained in prison for more than seven years.
Adversity forced Cory out of the house and into worldly matters. She had to get involved in the family sugar business and take over political obligations, becoming her husband's ambassador at large. Their conjugal visits at his prison were nerve-racking. She would carry a large towel and tape to cover the closed circuit TV camera and they whispered because of electronic listening devices.
In 1980, Aquino was permitted to go to Boston for heart surgery. For the next three years he had a research fellowship at Harvard. When he returned home on 8/21/1983, he was shot in the head as he left the aircraft. Cory pledged to continue his work.
In November 1986, Cory found herself under tremendous pressure to run against Marcos, and with popular support broke the dictatorship to became President. At first her inexperience showed in naive statements and uninspired public speaking. Gradually she gained strength, fired by the enthusiastic crowds that greeted her everywhere. Cory Aquino has changed history, and history has changed her as well.
- spouse relationship with Aquino, Benigno (born 27 November 1932)
- opponent/rival/enemy relationship with Marcos, Ferdinand (born 11 September 1917)
- opponent/rival/enemy relationship with Enrile, Juan Ponce (born 14 February 1924)

Industry stakeholders should take a "careful approach" in recommending funding and other structural reforms to the U.S. aviation system, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen told attendees at a NextGen symposium on Thursday in Washington, D.C. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association and Air Line Pilots Association International sponsored the event.
During a discussion about NextGen modernization funding, panelists agreed that industry stakeholders are moving in the right direction by convening discussions about reasonable approaches to reform funding for important programs such as NextGen. Airlines for America president Nicholas Calio said a national policy approach is needed to "treat the industry as the strategic asset that it is for the nation." He said this should include a fresh look at the tax and regulatory structure; how to provide adequate, steady funding for NextGen; and restructuring the FAA.
Bolen echoed Calio's comments, but noted, "Anything a user-fee system can do for us, the fuel tax mechanism does better. Business aviation fully supports paying for its share of the system using the fuel tax; it's easy, simple, fast and efficient," adding that it creates no administrative burden on companies and it does not require a costly bureaucracy to operate.

So much is written of impending user fees and yet so little about the Aviation Trust Fund which we've been funding with fuel taxes for decades. What is the present value of the funds collected and is this being used to creatively account for the spending not going on for NexGen?
Time to start writing the real story of where the money is and what it should be used for.
Let the user fees be paid at the pump. Safety demands a higher level of service from the FAA not just for those flying IFR at high altitudes but for all who use the system regardless of size or destination.

As a pilot flying a non-electric aircraft I am already paying too much for AV Gas. To add insult to injury the Federal Govt. has mandated ethanol added to all MO Gas making it unsuitable for aviation and forcing me to burn expensive 100LL that is unneeded by my aircraft and poisons the environment at the same time.

Thanks John good to see someone else that resents the fact that the big boys want those of us that dont need the services to help pay for them. Some of us already struggle to save up for avgas, while watching corporates spend more than that 100 dollar user fee on snacks for their flight!

the $5.00 per thousand pounds landing fee imposed on all users at smo is back breaking . if that isn't a user fee what is . ? they re using it to close the apt. and drive everyone away .

The subject of Users Fees is a typical example of –one of many---which is being used by the power brokers within GA to obtain economic benefits and a comfortable life style for certain segments of General Aviation (GA) which is directly detrimental to the survival of GA. It is being "pretended" by certain groups –including the Advocacy Groups—there is a concern about the long term survival of GA –yet everything sponsored is only providing "short term benefits" for the power brokers which literary over time will kill General Aviation as we know it. We fully know everybody's interest and position on Users Fees—that is Airlines, GA as well as Government—these positions are easily reconciled to the complete satisfaction of the startup phase of GA and everybody else if indeed this had been the objective. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that "long term survival of GA" is anything more than a political slogan.

Actually, no new bureaucracy is needed to collect user fees. That is a baseless talking point. Opponents conveniently overlook the fact that the FAA already collects overflight fees, has been doing so for quite some time, and that the mechanism quietly, efficiently, does the job it was designed to do.
But my concern is that talking about fuel tax as a way to fund Next-Gen distracts attention from the fact that U.S. Taxpayers currently subsidize flights by corporate jets in controlled airspace, for no good reason.
So any solution, User Fees for corporate jet flights, or a Special Fuel Tax rate for corporate jet flights, must address both the need to fund Next-Gen and the need to end the status quo entitlement for current corporate jet flights in controlled airspace.

So instead of imposing fees on those who can clearly afford it ( lets face it..if you can afford more than a single engine plane..your doing alright) the wealthy special interests are intent on spreading the costs to everyone. Go ahead. You will win - money always does. But don't be shocked when your airport closes because you have all but eliminated the already dwindling weekend middle class flyer that keeps barely hanging on right now. Most of my middle class brethren already fly less due to the recent increases in low lead now, and I guarantee another increase will be the straw that broke the camels back, no matter how much we love to fly. Most of us are having a hard time justifying it now. And it's nearly impossible to convince someone that they should learn to fly after you tell them the hourly rate for fuel. GA flourished when the middle class could participate and made it better for everyone, I hope the wealthy take that into account, before they have to drive 70 miles to the nearest airport for their plane.

How to raise happy toddlers
Welcome to the happy toddler zone that has everything parents need to know about this oh-so special age group. more
If you're feeling tired, listless, weak and more irritable than usual, chances are you could be anaemic. Some estimates suggest up to one in five menstruating women and half of all pregnant women are anaemic.
Anaemia is a common condition caused by a deficiency in the number or quality of red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body using a protein called haemoglobin. Anaemia occurs when either the level of red blood cells or the level of haemoglobin is lower than normal. When a person is anaemic, their heart has to work harder to pump the quantity of blood needed to get adequate oxygen around their body. And this, not surprisingly, can cause fatigue.
The condition itself is often highly treatable but anaemia can mask a more serious condition or a malfunction happening somewhere else in the body.
One of the most common forms of anaemia is the iron-deficiency type usually caused by iron loss from heavy menstrual bleeding or a diet lacking in iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid.
Other causes can include intestinal absorption conditions like coeliac disease, hormone disorders, bone marrow disorders including cancer or infection, as well as chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
If you have any the following symptoms it's worth seeing your doctor:
Left untreated, chronic anaemia can lead to a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Your heart must pump more blood to make up for the lack of oxygen in the blood when you're anaemic. Rarely, your heart can enlarge if you have anaemia for a long time and you don't seek treatment.
But most importantly being anaemic makes you feel bad, sapping your energy which mums need in huge supply. So talk to your doctor and find out which treatment is best for you.
While anaemia is often at the milder end of the spectrum in younger women, it will often still need some treatment. Women at higher risk of being anaemic include those who:
If your doctor diagnoses anaemia – often a simple blood test can find out – the treatment will depend on the cause. If it's dietary, caused by heavy periods or you're pregnant, your doctor will probably recommend a supplement and talk to you about how to include more iron-rich foods (lean meats, nuts and legumes, green leafy vegetables) in your diet.
In some cases iron or vitamin B12 injections can be recommended, or the doctor may order other tests to make sure your anaemia is not caused by some other underlying condition.
Taking vitamin C pills or eating foods high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, broccoli and capsicums, at the same time as you eat iron-rich foods or take your iron supplement can also help your body absorb the iron. Some foods prevent your body from absorbing iron, including coffee, tea, egg whites, milk, fibre and soy protein. Try to avoid these foods when you're eating food high in iron.

The Bank Run begins in Europe
Page update: 17.02.08
More than twelve percent of the bank's 24 billion pounds in deposits was taken out over three days. Northern Rock's share price fell 31% in late trading on Friday 14th September, and another 35% on Monday the 15th. At this point Northern Rock's share price was down 77% on the year, giving it a market capitalisation of 1.2 billion pounds. The bank's website crashed as customers tried to get information and withdraw funds online.
Northern Rock is the UK's fifth largest mortgage lender. The bank is now preparing for a sell-off. One plan being discussed by City banksters is to break up the company's £100bn mortgage book and distribute it among other lenders. Justin Urquhart Stewart, of Seven Investment Management, said: "I expect that in a year's time, Northern Rock will not exist. As a brand it is shot. The question will be who will own it. It is a great shame. A perfectly good business will be strangled by circumstances."
The trouble started on Thursday 13th September 2007, when the Bank of England, as the UK lender of last resort, stepped in to offer emergency funding after Northern Rock had struggled to raise funds in the international money markets. The bank needed this money to finance its mortgage lending.
When the news got out, the bank run began. And banks other than Northern Rock were affected. In the UK, on Monday 17th September 2007, Alliance & Leicester bank shares were down 31% (50% down on the year), and Bradford & Bingley bank shares were down 15% (42% down on the year). Elsewhere, American banks, in particular, were vulnerable because of their balance sheet over-reliance on fiat paper composed of credit derivatives, collateralised debt obligations, credit default swaps and binary options. The culture of due diligence had been eroded in America during the Bush years.
Two on-the-hoof political interventions seemed to calm the bank run stampede. Both were unusual and suggested panicky, response-led economic management. First, in the UK on Monday 17th September 2007, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, announced that the UK Government would guarantee all deposits held by customers of Northern Rock. Second, in the USA on Tuesday 18th September, the Federal Reserve Board cut American interest rates by half a percentage point in what was seen as a desperate bid to avert a Northern Rock-style banking crisis engulfing the United States. This highly unexpected decision now places extra pressure on the Bank of England to reduce British borrowing rates, as economists calculate the long-term cost of the credit crunch.
With the yen carry trade about to collapse in Japan, China aggressively on the brink of selling its primary tranche of seven trillion Federal Reserve Notes, and the NESARA announcements imminent, a worldwide collapse of the international financial system is just a heartbeat away.
This impending reality is becoming manifest in policy changes around the world. On the 19th September 2007, The Bank of England announced a surprise £10 billion cash injection into the British banking system. This action signalled a complete U-turn by BoE Governor Mervyn King from his habitual hands-off stance on issues of global financial turmoil. The Bank of England will now follow this move by allowing financial institutions access to three additional loans lasting three months. It is unclear how big this funding will be. More details here.
On the 20th September 2007, it became clear that Saudi Arabia, for the first time in its history, had refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve Board. This signalled that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom was preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risked setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East. This is a dangerous situation for the USA. The American dollar is already at an all-time low against the Euro and the Canadian dollar. Saudi Arabia has $800bn (£400bn) in their future generation fund, and the entire region has $3,500bn under management. Saudi Arabia and its neighbours face an inflationary threat and do not want to import an interest rate policy set for the recessionary conditions in the United States. More details here.
The flight from the American dollar is sharpening attention on gold stocks as a currency hedge. On the 18th September 2007, gold futures rose to a twenty seven year high (details here). Stories emerged that much of the gold held at the American Fort Knox Bullion Depository in Kentucky is not gold at all; it consists of facsimile lead bars painted a gold colour for presentation purposes. This is becoming noticeable as the gold paint fades. In the UK, it became apparent that not all the gold held by the Bank of England was fit for delivery. The gold held in the BoE vaults began to be accumulated in the early nineteenth century. It takes the form of gold bars, ingots and coins. Current methods of assessing quality have indicated flaws in the purity. Many of the gold bars contain cracks and fissures. The coins contain appreciable quantities of base metals. And much of the British gold lacks up-to-date assay certificates. More details here.
The homespun wisdom being articulated in England amongst the queuers outside Northern Rock was that it might be a good idea to travel with cash in hand for two or three weeks now, and to keep the vehicles full of petrol. Other necessary payments should be made on credit by plastic.
By the end of September 2007, when Northern Rock shares were 86% down on their year high, it became apparent that the bank had been forced to borrow £8 billion from the Bank of England in the previous two weeks just to stay solvent in the credit crunch. Northern Rock's shares had been the object of a short-selling feeding frenzy by speculators, and any attempt to sell the bank intact as a going concern looked doomed to failure. The view among the hedge funds at this time was that not only Northern Rock, but also Paragon, Bradford & Bingley, and Alliance & Leicester were UK banks which were likely to encounter serious liquidity problems soon, and would go under one by one as they were picked off by the speculators.
Elsewhere in Europe, news emerged from Frankfurt (Germany) that on Wednesday 26th September 2007, the European Central Bank's emergency lending fund, which attracts a penal interest rate, was tapped for €3.9bn, the largest sum since October 2004. The surge in demand for the ECB's marginal lending facility pointed to the continuing difficulties being faced by European banks as a result of the global credit squeeze. The ECB revealed no details about the borrower or borrowers involved.
Meanwhile, in the USA on Friday 29th September 2007, it was announced that Federal Government regulators had shut down NetBank because of an excessive level of mortgage defaults. At this point, NetBank held $2.5 billion in assets. This was the largest savings and loan failure in the USA for more than fourteen years. Customers with less than $100,000 deposited with NetBank were said to be protected by policies with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In Europe, on Sunday 17th February 2008, the BBC reported that Northern Rock had finally gone under as an independent entity. After months of consultations, no private business consortium had come up with an offer for the bank which could satisfy the UK Government. Northern Rock was nationalised. It was a complete financial disaster for the City of London and a political disaster for the Labour Government. The upshot was that UK taxpayers were now subsidising the bank in loans and guarantees to other lenders to the tune of £55 billion. The decision was a body-blow to the bank's shareholders who, in the short term, would receive next-to-nothing for their shares.

Williamsburg Brooklyn has another boutique pro-audio store! Just last month we saw the modular synth shop Control open and now my good friend Dan Physics and his business parter Blue Wilding have opened Audio Power Tools. Dan cut his teeth as a manager at the flagship Guitar Center store on 14th street and now he's working exclusively with high end stuff. The great thing is they will let you try before you buy which is important because unless you work in recording studios most people don't have access to say a Germanium micpre.
"Only the good stuff…with the highest performance, value and support for working pros. Every purchase is a balance of necessity and personal taste. Our "demo-based shopping" helps you make confident decisions." – Audio Power Tools

ECM Capitol Reporter
Senate Republicans amended a racino bill on Monday, March 19 in committee into a shape more to their liking.
But on an 8 to 5 vote, the Senate State Government Innovation and Veterans Committee ultimately rejected Senate Majority Leader David Senjem's racino bill.
The legislation, which would place thousands of slot machines at Canterbury Park in Shakopee and Running Aces Harness Park in Columbus, is depicted by advocates as a lifeline to the Minnesota horse industry.
"There's no reason Minnesota can't do it," said Equine Development Coalition of Minnesota President Jeff Hilger of revitalizing the horse industry as done elsewhere through racino.
Hilger, who runs a horse ranch in Stillwater, explained that thoroughbred horse breeders like himself must invest $30,000 in a horse before it ever runs its first race.
Former Hennepin County Commissioner John Derus, a Running Aces board member, argued that racino was not an expansion of gambling.
"That genie is out of the bottle," he said.
But Indian gaming officials and other critics spoke out against the racino initiative as robbing jobs from Greater Minnesota and otherwise expanding a predatory form of taxation.
Focus Changed
Still, the focus of the bill changed in committee.
Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen, amended the legislation to direct state racino revenues into an account to provide scholarships for high-achieving college students.
"This is a profound amendment," said Senjem, who agreed to it though the provision removed language in the bill directing racino revenues to payback the K-12 school funding shift.
Ortman styled her amendment a "game changer for the our workforce."
Additionally, Sen. Dave Thompson, R-Lakeville, amended the bill to require voter approval for racino. He envisioned referendums being held in Anoka and Scott counties.
"It's adding an additional layer of decision making," Thompson said.
Ortman, for one, thought Thompson's amendment was a good one. "I think it will pass," she said of voters in Scott County approving racino for Canterbury Park.
But the amended racino bill could not pass the Senate committee.
Racino legislation has yet to move in the House.
The idea of a referendum is nothing new to the two state lawmakers who represent Columbus. State Sen. Ray Vandeveer, R-Forest Lake, and Rep. Bob Dettmer, R-Forest Lake, have insisted that voters in Columbus and Forest Lake approve of the racino proposal at local referendums before racino could be added to the track in Columbus.

Braces Close to My Gums
Hi, My bottom braces boarder my gum line, while the tops brackets seem to be centered on my teeth. My gums are constantly swollen, and it's next to impossible to floss or brush the bottom arch properly. I've had my bottom arch on for 6 months and my teeth have hardly moved. The ortho has even resulted in filing between my teeth to "create space". This is my second time with braces (I'm in my late twenties now). In my previous braces experience filing wasn't required.
Is there a specific position the brackets are supposed to be placed, or does it vary based on patient's teeth?
Thank you!
It somewhat depends on the height of the teeth and also the amount of vertical overbite.It sounds as though you may have a periodontal problem (gums) and this is something I would discuss with the orthodontist. Orthodontists expend great deal of care in placing the brackets at the correct height for each individual. Mention your concerns.

Save the Tooth Fairy! Toy Industry Execs Highjack a Childhood IconJuly 16, 2013
Some of the toy industry's most powerful players are trying to hijack the Tooth Fairy. Until now, the Tooth Fairy was one of the few iconic children's fantasy figures that escaped being captured, branded, and monetized. But shocking footage from a pitch to investors by Paul Yanover, CEO of Fandango and former Disney senior executive, shows that's about to change -- big time. The pitch is preposterous enough to be parody, but its intent is dead serious. "Can you believe?" the video begins , "that a childhood character known by millions worldwide has not yet been licensed?" To the alluring "ca-...
Naïve or Disingenuous? Facebook-for-Kids Won't Keep Kids off FacebookJune 14, 2012
The notion that instituting parental controls for Facebook's underage users or creating a kid-friendly version will keep pre-teens off of the regular—or unrestricted—site is ridiculous. The 7.5 million children under the age of 13 who are lying to get on the site will continue lie with our without their parents' permission. According to Microsoft research, only 35% of parents whose kids are on Facebook actually know about it.
Confessions of a Screen Addict About to Go Cold Turkey (almost) in Anticipation of Screen-Free Week: April 30-May 6April 27, 2012
The truth: There I was, Director of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, champion of limiting children's screen time, playing Angry Birds on the subway. The justification: There I was, Director of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, champion of limiting children's screen time, after a stressful day trying to change a world that wasn't cooperating, unable to concentrate on reading, and playing Angry Birds on the subway. Suddenly a little blonde guy, about six, practically fell over a railing and into my lap trying to get a better look at the game. Awash with guilt at setting a...
Save the Lorax: Shun the StuffMarch 1, 2012
Universal Studio's animated film The Lorax opens in theaters on March 2. And environmentalists and people who care about children are already outraged—with good reason. For more than forty years, the Dr. Seuss classic has been a clarion call for reducing consumption and promoting conservation. But the book's eloquent environmental message is being crushed by the film's slew of corporate cross-promotions.
Why I'm (Pre)Occupied with Miley Cyrus: Does Hannah Montana Still Matter?December 6, 2011

The Real Trouble With Breast Milk BabyAugust 3, 2011
The controversy brewing over a new breastfeeding doll soon to be sold in the United States reminds me of the bru-ha-ha about Teletubbies when Jerry Falwell accused Tinky Winky of being gay. People rightfully upset about homophobia came to the support of the show, misguidedly defending the goodness of Teletubbies—which was being marketed, falsely, as educational for babies. Public discourse about Breast Milk Baby is following the same lines. Arguments over the doll are centered on culture wars—whether it is appropriate for young children to witness breast feeding, imitate it, or even know what...
Hope and Hypocrisy Under the Golden ArchesJune 20, 2011
As advocates for deep change know, big success is often preceded by small incremental changes that may go unnoticed by the general public. It seems the effort to stop fast food companies from hawking toys to kids is gaining ground. I was watching Friday Night Lights recently (a great show if I don't fret about the product placement) and blithely forwarding through the commercials when an ad for McDonald's Happy Meals stopped me cold. There were no toys. Intrigued, I rewound and watched in real time: We see a multi-racial bunch of totally cute kids with Happy Meal boxes—but they're empty. A...
How hooked am I? Thoughts about my own Screen-Free WeekApril 15, 2011
So my daughter-in-law stopped by the office yesterday to pick up a Screen-Free Week Organizer's Kit. National Screen-Free Week, April 18-24, is hosted by Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, which I direct. She, her husband, and the two best little girls in the world—okay, in my world—are going to join in the celebration by giving up screens for a week and hanging out in life. What's interesting is that she doesn't think it's going to be so hard for the children. But she's not so sure about the adults. She's determined to stop checking her phone at home (which annoys the kids) and their...

For the second time this season, the Wizards have released Mack to keep a less productive player.
I think Temple was the better keep given Wall and Price are returning. Temple clearly defend better and he can guard more positions. Given he doesn't even really know the playbook yet, I'm guessing they are looking at it like that. A bench player with a defined skill who can get better with experience.
Heard to write this because I know it falls right into a stereo type move for this organization but...
He has more potential then Mack
Temple still has to fight it out with Price though so he is just a bench guard until he proves he should get the minutes over Crawford and Price.
I agree. Nivek may be right that Mack is a better overall player than Temple, but with Wall and Price back, our need was to have a 5th guard who was a specialist. Mack doesn't do anything that Wall, Price and/or Crawford can't do better, so there really wouldn't ever be a need to have Mack on the floor (barring injury). Temple, on the other hand, has a specific skill that he does better than everybody else in the backcourt. He is a very good defender. There may be situations in the future where Temple gets minutes as a defensive specialist, even though Wall and Price are healthy.

THE LION IN WINTER Opens at Texas Repertory Theatre Tonight
The Texas Repertory Theatre Co., NW Houston's critically acclaimed professional theatre begins its spring season with a sparkling production of James Goldman's brilliant theatrical classic, The Lion in Winter, opening tonight, January 24th and running through February 17th. Based on the history of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitane's marriage and rule, Goldman's play has become a classic of the modern theatrical canon, and was the basis for an award-winning 1968 film.
A legendary King and an incomparable Queen meet for one last Winter Court - and a battle that will determine the future of an empire. As the sun sets on his reign, Henry Plantagenet, "the greatest power in a thousand years," calls his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and their three sons to Chinon, France for the negotiation of a treaty and a marriage contract. Locked behind the palace doors, a deadly game of alliances and betrayals unfolds as each of The Players, fueled by anger and old wounds, moves to control who will sit on throne when Henry is gone. Combining keen historical and psychological insight with delicious, mordant wit, The Lion in Winter is a not-to be missed theatrical event!
The Texas Repertory Theatre production of The Lion in Winter is directed by Julia Traber, and features a cast of Houston's finest actors, including Guest Artist Pamela Vogel, Sean Patrick Judge, Matt Hume, Matt Lentz, Caroline Menefee, and Texas Rep Artistic Director Steve Fenley.
For tickets or more information, call the box office at 281-583-7573 or log onto www.texreptheatre.org for more information.

Tigers not taking any chances with V-Mart
DETROIT -- As Tigers slugger Victor Martinez continues to recover from a sore back and side, manager Brad Ausmus will insist on exercising caution when determining whether or not Martinez will participate in All-Star festivities next week in Minnesota.
Martinez, who leads the team in home runs and batting average, was out of the lineup once again on Tuesday night vs. the Dodgers.
"I'm going to be cautious with him," Ausmus said.
Ausmus added that even if Martinez returns to action for Detroit before the All-Star break, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a go for the All-Star Game next Tuesday.
"Even if he is able to play for us prior to the break, it might be in his body's best interest to not partake in the baseball activities of the All-Star Game," Ausmus said.
According to Ausmus, the possibility of Martinez going on the disabled list isn't something that's being considered, largely because of the impending break.
The manager said earlier this week that there will be discussions between himself, Martinez, general manager Dave Dombrowski and trainer Kevin Rand before a decision is reached.
"I think Victor understands it's more important to play the season than play the All-Star Game," Ausmus said.

Hoji Cha Amount
Generally I use 1 Tsp. for 6 oz. of Hoji. In haste, I grabbed the TBSP measure instead. I really enjoyed the outcome. Any other Hoji drinkers out there want to explain the amount they use?
I've only had Ho Ji Cha once (sadly it's one of the 2 Japanese greens I just don't like), but I steeped my samples, as I do all my Japanese greens, using the suggested parameters on the Den's Tea website (http://www.denstea.com/perfect_brewing.html): 4 oz of boiling water (I actually use just below boiling- about 210 degrees), 2g of tea, steeped for 30 seconds.
I use a generous amount of Hoji Cha also. Probably about a Tbsp per cup. I do the same with Genmaicha ;)
I second the Den's tea brewing parameters. 2 g per 4 oz for 30 seconds turns out really nicely and holds up well to an additional 15 second resteeping.
I use a lot of leaves; around two tablespoons for 2,5 dl of water, I think. Then I let it brew for 30 seconds in almost boiling water. In my experience, a good amount of leaves usually results in a good and rich brew.
Cool. Thanks for all the input y'all. It is fun playing around with brewing parameters.

Hello everyone,
This thread is intended to be a place where dhammawheel members can post links to websites where dhamma talks can be listened to. Given the number of serious dhamma practitioners and dhamma explorers on this forum I would imagine that perhaps there are websites that some members know of that others do not know of, where there are dhamma talks that others may not have heard.
Here are some dhamma talk sites I have found helpful:
Please post any links to dhamma talk websites that you have found helpful. This thread is intended to provide direct links to auditory dhamma talks and not transcribed (written) dhamma talks.

Discussion in 'Texans Talk Archive' started by Andrew6, Nov 25, 2007.
Is it NOON yet?
Playoffs and Texans...let's do it!
Crap, just saw your thread. Mod's, will you please merge?
oops my bad. didn't realize there was already a thread started.
I didn't either.
3.5 hours till kick off lemon cat
Isn't that a lime? Limes are green, lemons are yellow.
I'm ready. This should be a good game. Fairly evenly matched teams with the Texans on the road against a hostile crowd. Let's see what they can do.
lime lemon ah hell limon
Can't wait!! Just sitting here PRAYING that Kubiak will have a good day also!! I think our players will be ready, I'm just not sure about our coach. A spineless called game will net us a loss. JMO! Anyway, I'm ready for the clock to strike noon!!
Mostly sunny weather in Cleveland. 10% chance of rain.
Game time temperature 40 degrees, but will feel like 34.
Cleveland weather
Should feel good to play in.
looks like temps are close to what is here.
I just hope that if we don't win, people don't start calling for Kubiak's head, calling this team losers, "im not a fan anymore", etc. People don't understand that based on our 12+ IR's, we are doing above expectations. A good season isnt always because of reaching the playoffs/superbowl.
Great day to be inside where it warm , and watch some football . I'm looking forward to a high scoring game . It should be fun . I just hope the Houston factor doesn't play into todays game where our former players (Peek , Robaire Smith) have a huge game against us and determine the outcome .
Texans - 31
Browns - 28
This should be a great game. I think it'll will actually be a good indicator of where our team is right now. Can our offense take advantage of a defensive weaknesses? Can our secondary step it up and stop a hot-handed QB with a mess of weapons? We'll see in an hour and 15 minutes. Can't wait!
610 on the net is down. Does anyone know who Kubiak has activated for the game? Fletcher? Which RBs?
I know that Echamandu , and Walker will both be activated along with "2 yard gain" Dayne . I haven't heard about the DB situation yet .
Thanks. I'm excited to see what some other RB's can do. I'm not sure about the D-backs. We all know the problems, but they might have some confidence from last week.
My bad . It will only be Dayne and Echamandu . Walker is inactive .
I guess that means that Fletcher is in.
Separate names with a comma.

If you are a woman, your chances of becoming a victim of assault are greatly increased. You can lessen your chances of becoming a statistic by having the right attitude, learning physical defense tactics, and yes, even learning how to use weapons to protect yourself.
Your mind can be your body's greatest defensive weapon, so think about ways to improve the safety of your surroundings. For example, move your car closer to the building if you need to work late and try not to leave alone.
Good self-defense programs teach women to use common sense, while working to build their confidence. Many potential perpetrators assume that women will be overcome with fear.
One day while walking home from work, a Sarah passed a nicely dressed man standing on a corner. After turning the corner, she noticed that he was following her. Sarah turned around and the man inquired, "Can I look up your dress?" She swore at him angrily—a response he was not expecting. He quickly walked away.
An important, but often under-used self-defense tool is your intuition. Sarah sensed the nervous and hesitant nature of the potential perpetrator and she responded forcefully through her body language and voice to deter him. From a young age, girls can be taught the effectiveness of using their voices. Many programs offer classes for young children that focus on prevention tactics and the use of words to avoid being assaulted or abducted.
In another example, a 4-year-old girl became separated from her guardian at the supermarket and was scooped up by a stranger. As she was being wheeled out of the store, the child repeatedly yelled the refrain, "I don't know you, I don't know you," causing the man to release her and run. As with Sarah's situation, the child used her voice to prevent an attack.
If you decide to enroll in a self-defense program, begin by checking with your local YMCA or police department, or use the internet to locate a program near you. Below are 3 types of programs that provide women with ways to protect themselves.
Self defense for women focuses on using natural weapons of defense, including ways to use your voice. The idea behind this philosophy is that if you have an actual weapon it can be used against you. The key to the techniques are in their simplicity.
Despite the generally superior strength of men, they are not without vulnerable areas. Women learn to target and strike at areas such as the groin, Adam's apple, eyes, and ears, in addition to learning effective blocking strategies.
There are programs for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
If you need a more dramatic method of learning self-defense, Model Mugging may be the program for you. The nationwide program uses men to model or act out threatening situations, such as mugging or assault. Sound disturbing? It is supposed to be. The idea behind this approach is to teach women how to react quickly and appropriately with their bodies and voices when they are in danger. Women are supposed to feel scared, and adrenaline levels are supposed to rise as the women are taught to fight off their mock attackers.
If you decide to arm yourself with more than your body and voice, there are programs that teach the effective use of defensive weapons, from pepper spray to firearms. Look for courses in your area that are taught by specially-trained volunteers.
Even if you decide not to enroll in a self-defense class, you can still reduce your chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime.

What Do You Think TNA Will Become?
by, 08-14-2010 at 01:48 AM (5498 Views)
First off all, Yes this is a long Blog, but I covered a lot. And if you are a TNA Fan, you'll like it.
Second of all, I would like for you guys to message me, and tell me what you guys would like me to write my up and coming Blogs about. Please do that for me!
Thirdly, This is a partial response to "Wrestlinggrl77".
TNA: Let me first off just say that I am a TNA Fan. I prefer them over the WWE.
What do you think TNA is at the moment? What do you think TNA will become in the future?
Storylines: What do you guys think of the Storyline? I personally think they are improving. They are still not the greatest, but they are getting better. To me, they have more character to them than WWE Storylines do. I personally think that anything they do with Abyss, is amazing. Same with Team 3D. They just bring more than anyone. And, I know that we have only seen one night of it so far, but I like the TNA Attacking ECW Storyline as well.
Writers: Who is to blame for TNA's, not so awesome Storylines? Of course! It's Vince Russo. He has killed every company he has worked for. He has no place in the wrestling business. Why do they keep him around? Don't they see that he is no good? Does Dixie not hear the crowd chanting "F*ck You Russo!" almost everynight? There is a reason for that you know. Seeing as how he is the only Writer for TNA, he is the only person to blame. We need change TNA! Do us wrestling Fans some good!
Dixie Carter: Who is the better boss? Vince McMahon, The sole owner of the multi-million dollar company that is crumbling, the WWE? Or Dixie Carter, The President of the improving TNA? I got to thinking, isn't it funny that Vince McMahon own the WWE and does everything too? We don't hear from the President of the WWE, John Laurinatis is his name, right? Yet, the Jarrett Family owns TNA, but we never hear about them. Sure we use to hear of Jeff Jarrett being the owner, but then the Storyline got him out of being the owner. All we hear about is Dixie Carter, the TNA President. I think she is wonderful. She does so much to make us fans love the TNA Product. She is one reason why TNA is on the building blocks.
Hulk Hogan: What are your thoughts on Hulk Hogan? Do you like him? Do you hate him? I know, currently, a lot of people do not like him anymore, just because he went to TNA. I do not blame him though. I love Hulk Hogan and I always will. What was the WWE doing with Hogan? Nothing. What is TNA doing with Hogan? Everything! Does he bring Ratings to TNA? Yeah, they've upped a little bit. He is a good asset to the company.
Eric Bischoff: The new Executive Producer of TNA. Do you guys think he brings something to the Tables of TNA? I do. Bischoff brings everything. I love Bischoff. He knows good wrestling. He knows good TV. I think Eric Bischoff has what it takes to make TNA the worlds number one wrestling company in the United States and around the world. Look what Bischoff did for WCW. He is what made the company better! He is what carried the company, when Russo was planning a funeral for it. Like his WWE Song said, "I'm Back, And I'm Better Than Ever. Got A Nack, For Making Things Better. Face Facts, Cause Your Opinion Don't Matter. This Maniac, Is Gonna Step On Whoever. This Time, Get In Line, Cause I'm Gonna Make Some Changes. Kickin' Ass, Taken Names, Treatin' Household Babies. But Now I'm Back, The Boss of You Morons. To Never Count Me Out, Is One Thing You Can Count On." He will make TNA a better place.
ECW Storyline: People LOVE the Original ECW. TNA saw the brutal years of the "New ECW" From WWE that a lot of fans call "WWECW" They will make this ECW Storyline work. And the thing that I like the most about it, is that TNA Stars Turned on ECW and that will keep it going. Where do you guys see it going?
Superstars: Do you think that TNA has a good roster? I do. They have some of the greatest Superstars of all time. Of all time!
Knockouts: They have AMAZING women wrestlers. They aren't afraid to get dirty like the WWE Divas are. God forbid the WWE Candy Women break a nail. Your thoughts?
Here are some of the greatest:
*A.J. Styles (@Wrestlinggrl77: I personally think this is a great Storyline with him and Ric Flair.)
*Alex Shelley (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed about MCMG's)
*Amazing Red
*Chris Sabin (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed about MCMG's)
*Eric Young (@Wrestlinggrl77: I guess he could go. He isn't doing anything major anymore.)
*Homicide (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed)
*James Storm (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed about Beer Money)
*Jay Lethal
*Robert Roode (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed about Beer Money)
*Brian Kendrick
*Brother Devon
*Brother Ray
*D'Angelo Dinero (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed)
*Hulk Hogan (@Wrestlinggrl77: It's whatever with him. I enjoy seeing him on TV again, but I could care less if he went away)
*Jeff Hardy (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed)
*Kevin Nash
*Kurt Angle
*Matt Morgan
*Mick Foley (@Wrestlinggrl77: He is one of the most loved superstars in the world. He brings to much to TNA. People love him so much. They would not appreciate him leaving or being released by TNA)
*Mr. Anderson (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed)
*Orlando Jordan
*Ric Flair
*RVD (@Wrestlinggrl77: Agreed)
*Shannon Moore
*Tommy Dreamer (@Wrestlinggrl77: Same As Foley)
*Desmond Wolfe (@Wrestlinggrl77: People could care less if this guy was on TNA or not. He does not appeal to anyone, anywhere.)
*Douglas Williams
*Jeremy Buck
*Jesse Neal
*Max Buck
*Rob Terry
*Samoa Joe (@Wrestlinggrl77: Whether he is a face or heel, he is always vicious, so it doesn't matter.)
The only Superstars that I am not fond of, Are:
*Desmond Wolfe
*Douglas Williams
*Jeremy Buck
*Max Buck
What are your thoughts?

Indianapolis (Nov. 28, 2011) -- Operating in a land-locked, cold-weather, small-market city, the Pacers historically haven't had done too much investing in the free agent market.
It tends to be too expensive and too risky. Make one mistake and your team can be hamstrung for years. The Knicks, Celtics, Lakers and Bulls can afford to eat a bad contract or two; not so the Pacers.
This is not to say the Pacers have not dabbled occasionally. Their history in free agency is not bedazzled by stars, but rather illuminated by a few hidden gems. Here's my list of the five most significant in franchise history.
So far.
5: Gus Johnson (1972)
A future Hall-of-Famer at the end of a proud, injury-wracked career when the Pacers signed him in December 1972, the 6-6, 230-pound player nicknamed "Honeycomb" was an undersized power player with bad knees who averaged 6.0 points and 4.9 rebounds in 50 games during the regular season. Despite those modest numbers, the Pacers couldn't have won the 1973 ABA championship without him. With Artis Gilmore a dominant force for Kentucky and Mel Daniels in foul trouble in Game 7, Coach Bob "Slick" Leonard played a hunch and inserted Johnson to guard the 7-2 Gilmore. Using his remarkable strength to keep Gilmore from establishing deep post position, Johnson played a major role in disrupting the Kentucky offense as the Pacers rallied to win 88-81. That proved to be the last game of Johnson's career and it left a lasting impression on the Pacers and their fans.
4: Sam Perkins (1999)
Another proud veteran nearing the close of his career when he joined the Pacers in 1999 after playing his first 15 seasons with the Mavs, Lakers and Sonics, Perkins played a major role off the bench. His strong post defense and remarkable 3-point shooting proved a perfect complement to starting center Rik Smits. His veteran leadership and postseason experience were invaluable in the locker room and on the court as the team reached the NBA Finals in 2000. Perkins averaged 5.3 points and 3.1 rebounds in three seasons with the Pacers but his impact went well beyond those numbers.
3: Micheal Williams (1990)
A remarkably quick point guard who failed to stick with Detroit, Phoenix and Charlotte in his first two NBA seasons, Williams signed with the Pacers in August 1990 and his career took flight. He averaged 11.1 points and 2.4 assists in the 1990-91 season, taking over the starting job from Vern Fleming down the stretch. He then took his game to an entirely new and unforeseen level in the memorable five-game first-round playoff loss to Bird's Celtics, averaging 20.6 points and 2.8 steals. The full-time starter in 1991-92, Williams averaged 15.0 points and 3.6 assists but the team struggled. Williams was very much a scoring point guard; on a roster otherwise filled with players that demanded the ball, something had to give. Williams and Chuck Person were dealt to Minnesota for Pooh Richardson, a point guard perceived to be more of a pass-first creator. After one solid season with the Timberwolves, Williams' career was derailed by injuries and he totaled just 37 games from 1994-99 before retiring.
2: Byron Scott (1993)
For a reserve that played just two seasons in Indiana, Scott had monumental impact. After winning three titlaes in L.A., the Lakers cast him adrift after the 1992-93 season and when the Pacers faced an assortment of backcourt injuries early in Larry Brown's first season on the bench, they signed Scott in December 1993. At the time they were 5-10 and had never won an NBA playoff series. At the airport upon arriving in Indianapolis, Scott offered these words: "This team's been to the playoffs a number of times but hasn't won. It's going to be my job to make sure we get there and win." The Pacers went 42-27 the rest of the regular season with Scott averaging 10.4 points as Reggie Miller's backup and mentor. He then hit arguably the biggest shot in franchise history, a 3-pointer to stun the heavily favored Magic (of Shaq and Penny branding) in Game 1 of the first-round series in Orlando, giving the Pacers the confidence that carried them all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. It also launched the most successful NBA decade. Small wonder Miller referred to the signing of Scott as "the best move the Pacers have ever made in their NBA history." Other than drafting a certain spindly shooting guard from UCLA in 1987, of course.
1: Roger Brown (1967)
The first player signed by the fledgling franchise not long after it formed in 1967, Brown proved to be the standard-bearer for the ABA's most dominant group, hoisting three banners in four years. A player with incomparable one-on-one skills, Brown was playing amateur-league ball in Dayton when the Pacers came calling. He averaged 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists in eight seasons with the Pacers, but his biggest mark was made in the playoffs. In 1969 he averaged 27.0 points and shot 51.4 percent in 1969 and then willed the team to its first title in 1970, averaging 28.5 points. In the championship series against the L.A. Stars, Brown averaged 45.7 points in the final three games. One of four players to have his jersey retired by the Pacers, Brown is the only member of that group to join the franchise as a free agent.

San Francisco Studio from Oliver Chesler on Vimeo.
On my recent trip to San Francisco I went by the synth shop Robotspeak. They have some cool stuff inside. New synths like the Minitaur and old cool items like Opcode Studio Vision Pro on display. They also have a modular workshop where you learn how to build your own modular. Tom Oberheim lives nearby and as you can see by the photo Bob Moog visited the store. The only thing in the store I wanted to buy wasn't for sale. It was a circuit Vtech Tiny Tot Driver. Just see the video above to know what I am talking about. When he hit the horn I started offering money. Before I returned to NY I went by my brother's studio space and showed him (he's in the video above) and his friend Chris how cool the Doepfer Dark time is. You can see all the photos from my trip on flickr: click here.

If you don't have a garden with chard, any type of greens could be used here, although sturdier greens like kale would need to cook a bit longer. Look after the recipe for other tasty ideas with chard from myself and other bloggers. I have a few rows of chard and they're producing pretty well, so if you have a good recipe using chard I'd love to hear about it in the comments.
Roasted Broccoli.
Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Garlic, Chard, and Grated Pecorino-Romano Cheese
(Makes 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
8 oz whole wheat spaghetti (4 servings if you're using one of those spaghetti-measuring discs with holes)
salt, for pasta cooking water (I used fine grind sea salt)
12-16 oz. fresh chard leaves, cut into crosswise strips
1 T finely minced fresh garlic
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup hot pasta cooking water (remove before draining pasta)
1/2 cup coarsely grated Pecorino-Romano cheese (or use any hard grating cheese with a good flavor such as Parmesan or Asiago)
fresh ground black pepper to taste
Grate the Pecorino-Romano or Parmesan cheese on the largest holes of a cheese grater, then coarsely chop with chef's knife, keeping the cheese pieces fairly large.
In the largest heavy frying pan you have, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add minced garlic (and hot pepper flakes if using) and saute garlic about 1 minute. Be sure not to let the garlic get brown or it can easy turn bitter. It's done when you start to smell garlic.
Add chard strips all at once and saute 1-2 minutes, just until chard is wilted down to about half the size it was. Use a measuring cup to remove 1/4 cup hot pasta cooking water and add to chard, then reduce heat to the lowest possible setting to keep the chard warm.
As soon as pasta is cooked but still slightly chewy, drain pasta in a colander placed in the sink, then add hot pasta to the pan with the cooked chard and toss. (I used two large forks to toss the pasta with the chard.) Add about half the grated cheese and toss again. Season to taste with fresh ground black pepper, then divide spaghetti on four individual plates, top each serving with cheese, and serve hot.

Legs Get Led Astray is a provocative collection of essays that vividly rockets the listener through one young woman's life. Chloe Caldwell beautifully and bluntly escorts you through her childhood dreams, her first loves, her most unguarded sexual exploits, bookstore crushes, babysitting jobs, heartbroken wanderlust, and the suicide of a lost lover.
Caldwell's writing remarkably explores the genre of personal non-fiction and has been featured in The Rumpus, The Faster Times, and Mr. Beller's Neighborhood, and is forthcoming in The Nervous Breakdown and Everyday Genius.

I'm Audible's first Editor-at-Large, the host of In Bed with Susie Bright -- and a longtime author, editor, journo, and bookworm. I listen to audio when I'm cooking, playing cards, knitting, going to bed, waking up, driving, and putting other people's kids to bed! My favorite audiobooks, ever, are: "True Grit" and "The Dog of the South."
"Blunt, Hilarious, Provocative: It's Chloe Caldwell"
Chloe Caldwell's gumption is infectious— from wanting to become a star on the Barney show, to delirious babysitting incidents, fateful bookstore crushes at the Strand, and falling in love. She's blunt, hilarious, and provocative.
Caldwell is a NorthWest Portland"It Girl" at the moment, and deserves the attention.

The first San Diego-based Navy officer has become entangled in the widening "Fat Leonard" bribery scandal in which a Malaysian businessman allegedly provided cash, prostitutes and luxury travel to officers in exchange for help with Navy contracts in Asia.
The Navy announced Thursday that it has suspended Capt. David Williams Haas, 45, from his job as deputy commander of Coastal Riverine Group 1 in Imperial Beach. The move happened Nov. 15.
A Navy release says the suspension is due to allegations related to Glenn Defense Marine Asia, the Singapore-based company owned by Leonard Francis. So far, Francis, a Glenn Defense manager, two Navy officers and a Navy criminal investigative agent have been charged in the bribes-for-business case.
Haas becomes the latest of four Navy officers who have been named in connection with the investigation but not charged.
The common thread in the careers of the officers named appears to be time on the Seventh Fleet staff, headquartered in Yokosuka, Japan, or leading positions on ships that frequented the Asia Pacific. Seventh Fleet is responsible for all U.S. naval operations in and around Asia.
Haas served on the Seventh Fleet staff from August 2011 to July 2013. He also commanded the U.S. frigate Thach in 2009 when it made port calls in Asia, according to news reports at that time. From November 2001 to June 2003, he served aboard the Seventh Fleet flag ship Blue Ridge as executive officer.
Earlier this month, the Navy announced that Vice Adm. Ted Branch and Rear Adm. Bruce Loveless had been stripped of their classified access and placed on leave due to allegations about ties to Glenn Defense.
Earlier in his career, Branch was skipper of the aircraft carrier Nimitz and headed the Carl Vinson carrier group. He also served executive assistant to the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander in Hawaii.
Loveless was once deputy chief of staff for intelligence on a Pacific carrier group staff, stationed in Yokosuka, among other jobs in Asia. From 2009 to 2012, he commanded U.S. Pacific Command's Joint Intelligence Operations Center in Pearl Harbor.
In October, the skipper of the Japan-based amphibious ship Bonhomme Richard, Capt. Daniel Dusek, was removed from his position due to alleged connections. From 2009 to early 2011, he served as Seventh Fleet deputy operations officer.
Haas is a native of Boulder, Colo., and received his commission in the Navy in 1990.
A surface warfare officer, he has mostly served at sea, culminating in his command of the Thach from February 2008 to September 2009. Afterward he spent time at a couple of shore commands in San Diego, then served for seven months in Afghanistan at a U.S. Special Operations Command unit before heading back to the Seventh Fleet.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

He joins Ekky, his bride of 57 years, and they will live on in their children, Michael and his wife Tonya, his sister Jeanne, their nephew Michael David, extended family, and in the hearts of those whose lives they touched.
Auburn Tiger, Class of 1948. Received a Masters Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Cal Tech where he later served as a professor. An original member of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, he was honored with the H. Julian Allen Award and the NASA Exceptional Service Medal for his essential scientific contributions to manned space flight. Awarded the Silver Star for Gallantry in Action, World War II.
The unconditional love he personified and devoted to his family in every imaginable role, he also delighted in sharing with our family of friends. Now we are each the less, yet only by a fraction of all he gave.
His life will be celebrated January 17, 2014 at 11:45 a.m. at the Woodside Village Church, 3154 Woodside Rd, Woodside, CA and forever after.
