In the tradition of great tales of men against the sea, this story offers a compelling look at courage and commitment in the face of certain tragedy. It is a powerful blend of human drama and real-life naval operations, but unlike most books in the genre, its heroes are airmen not seamen, and most survived their ordeal. Published on the twentieth-fifth anniversary of Alfa Foxtrot 586's fatal mission as a tribute to those lost, the account was written by a naval aviator who has flown the same aircraft on the same mission from the same air base.
The aircraft is a P-3 Orion on station during a sensitive mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north Pacific. The time is mid-day on 26 October 1978. Andy Jampoler takes listeners into the cockpit of the turboprop as a propeller malfunction turns into an engine fire, eventually forcing Jerry Grigsby to ditch his patrol plane into the empty, mountainous seas west of the Aleutian Islands. His fourteen crewmembers, strapped in their seats, expect the worst - and get it. The aircraft goes down in just ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it. A second raft, terribly overcrowded, soon begins to leak.The flight crew's desperate battle to survive is told with the authority, drama, and sensitivity that only someone with the author's background could provide. He draws on interviews with survivors, searchers, and even the master of the Soviet fishing trawler that saved the living and recovered the bodies of the dead. He also draws on recordings of radio communications, messages in the files of the state and defense departments, and the patrol squadron's own investigation of the ditching. Everyone who likes survival epics and enjoys reading sea and air adventures will be entertained by this engrossing true story.

Emirates, Qantas Plan Code-Share Only
By AviationBrief
Published: August 1, 2012
Emirates' planned alliance with Australia's struggling Qantas Airways does not include a revenue-sharing agreement, the chairman of the Dubai-based carrier said on Wednesday.
"The objective is to eventually see Qantas fly through Dubai," Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum told reporters, saying talks concentrated on a code-share arrangement.
"The deal is likely within six months," he said. "We are not discussing revenue sharing."
Last week, Qantas confirmed it was in talks with Emirates on a potential alliance.

DETROIT - The Detroit Tigers and Prince Fielder have put the finishing touches on a nine-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but multiple reports earlier this week indicated the pact for the former Milwaukee Brewers first baseman to be worth $214 million.
"Prince Fielder is one of the premier offensive players in the game of baseball and we are extremely excited to add an All-Star-caliber player like him to our lineup," said Tigers president, CEO and general manager Dave Dombrowski in a statement. "The addition of Prince is a testament to the organization's continued commitment to fielding a championship club."
The Tigers are coming off an American League Central title from 2011, their first division crown in 24 years, and lured one of the biggest available free agents to Detroit. He is familiar with the city, as his father, Cecil, played for the Tigers from 1990-96.
"It's awesome, I really don't know what to say," Fielder said at a Thursday news conference about returning to Detroit. "I never thought this could happen. It's real special day. I'm looking forward to coming back to where I grew up. There's a lot of good memories."
In 998 big league games, all with the Brewers, the 27-year-old Fielder has clubbed 230 homers and driven in 656 runs. He finished third in the voting for the National League Most Valuable Player last year after batting .299 with 38 homers and 120 RBI.
A three-time All-Star and career .282 hitter, Fielder has missed just one game in the past three seasons.
The Tigers were trying to add another quality bat after Victor Martinez went down with a torn knee ligament that could cost him the entire 2012 season.
That, said Tigers owner Mike Ilitch, was the spark that led to the pursuit of Fielder.
"We sat down and [talked about] how we're going to handle this," Ilitch said Thursday. "I always wanted Prince, because we just missed him in the draft. Milwaukee beat us by one. I went to Dave [Dombrowski] and said I think we should go after Prince."
The Brewers selected Fielder with the seventh overall pick of the 2002 draft, just ahead of Detroit. The Tigers followed by taking infielder Scott Moore, who never played for Detroit and appeared in 80 games over parts of four seasons with the Cubs and Orioles.
This time around Detroit did not need a first baseman with Miguel Cabrera already there. The AL's batting champion from a year ago will make the switch to third base, a position he played with the Marlins, to accommodate the new acquisition.
"Miguel Cabrera's going to play third base, I'll make that clear today," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland at Thursday's news conference. "I feel very comfortable with it. We're going back to old-fashioned baseball, with power on the corners."
Cabrera and Fielder combined for 68 homers last season.
"He's 100% on board," Leyland said, noting that he has already spoken to Cabrera about the switch. "He feels good about it."
Cabrera last played third base in 2008 with Detroit, the year he began to make the transition to first. He was primarily a third baseman with the Marlins in 2006 and 2007.

Is A Four-Year-Old Too Young For Make-Up? [Poll]
How young is too young for make-up? One mom is getting some heat for letting her four-year-old daughter wear make-up after becoming fascinated with cosmetics after watching mom apply make-up when she goes out.
The mom wrote a blog and others lashed out at her for letting her daughter wear make-up. She wears lipstick, blush and sometimes mascara. Lindsay Cross says it's become a ritual for her and her daughter to put on make-up together. Should a four-year-old wear make-up?

Should Kids Get Cash For Good Grades? [Video/Poll]
I was watching this segment on the "Today Show" the other day and a professor was talking about paying kids for good grades. He gave the example of someone running a school where kids come from tough backgrounds and they aren't reading or motivated.
He said let's say administrators decided to give cash incentives for good grades. The idea was to pay $2 every time a child read a book and he used third graders as an example. Is this is a good idea? Should schools pay kids for good grades? Check out the video and take the poll after the jump.

Do Telemarketers Drive You Crazy? [Poll]
How annoying do you find telemarketers to be? It seemed like when they first started calling it was earlier in the day and now they tend to still call you after 9pm. I only use my cell phone but I'm constantly getting harassed, even though I signed up on the do not call list.
According to a recent study, telemarketer complaints were up 600,000 last year. The study found that some companies will still call you even if you're on the do not call list. If you're like me, do telemarketers drive you crazy? Take the poll after the jump.
Mom Uses Facebook To Punish Daughter
One mom is receiving some backlash for punishing her daughter on Facebook.

School Bans Dr. Seuss Book
Most of us love Dr. Seuss books and most of us remember reading them all the time in school. It's always one of those staples that you must have at least one of the books.
This is not the case for one school in Canada. They are not pleased with the 'Yertle the Turtle' story because officials think there's a political message behind it. Now the school has banned the book as a result.

Top 5 ways to save on your summer vacation
If you're pining for a summer vacation but worried about costs, consider how Wayne and Pat Dunlap of Del Mar, Calif., managed to tour 51 countries over two years, marvel at the Egyptian pyramids, scale a New Zealand glacier, and visit Laotian Buddhist monks all for less than $100 a day. "We often stayed at guesthouses and hostels, ate at local family restaurants, took public transportation, and in some cases, traveled on cruise ships offering reduced rates," says Mr. Dunlap, author of the travel book "Plan Your Escape." This year amid price worries and higher summer airfares, especially to Europe such ingenuity could prove essential. Here are five cost-cutting strategies that can help:
1. Choose destinations wisely
Locales closer to home, from nearby beaches to national parks, can offer value as well as great times for adults and children. Overseas, Americans can get exceptional deals in Brazil and countries in Eastern Europe, thanks to favorable exchange rates against the US dollar, reports Christy Grimste, editor of Destinations Uncovered, a digital magazine based in Tampa, Fla. In Spain, especially in the Canary Islands and Ibiza, and along the southwestern coast of Turkey, summer hotel rates are as much as 30 percent lower than they were last summer, she reports.

Cisco Response: =============== Hello Nick, Thank you for your report. We always welcome the chance to work with people who wish to report product vulnerabilities to us. To address this issue Cisco added a "Windows Logon Properties" dialog, under the "Options" menu, that allows the system administrator to enable/disable the "Allow launching of third party applications before logon" checkbox option. This checkbox option cannot be modified by a user with non-administrative privileges and is unchecked (disabled) by default. This option was added under Cisco Bug Id CSCdt76576. This option was added in Cisco VPN Client release 3.1.24 and later for the 3.1.x releases and was also integrated in all 3.5.x, 3.6.x and 4.x. releases. The last Cisco Security Advisory for the VPN Client posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/vpnclient-multiple2-vuln-pub.shtml recommended that customers upgrade to versions of code later than the one which included this option. As always, Cisco is interested in protecting our customers' networks and is continually striving to improve the security of our products. Vulnerabilities within any Cisco product should be reported directly to "psirt:nospam.cisco.com" or "security-alert:nospam.cisco.com". Thank you.

A Boy Cut Out to be a Mayor for Children
By Reem Tarazi
GAZA, 29 September 2005 - Fourteen-year-old Mazen Mustafa Ghanem exudes eloquence when he speaks about how he became the newly-elected Mayor of the Gaza City Children's Municipality Council (CMC).
The election this summer that brought him to office makes him the third CMC mayor in Gaza. Mazen was the winner out of eight nominated children at the elections at the first stage in his school. He went on to win the final stage to represent his school and his neighborhood.
Soon after the election the CMC – one of eight supported by UNICEF in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) - launched a needs assessment in Gaza neighborhoods in order to determine which flagship project to launch.
Mazen lives in Zaitoun, one of the most populated and impoverished areas in Gaza City. It also faced a number of invasions during the last four years.
He is studying at UNRWA School Zaitoun Prep. School, and has two older brothers and three sisters. His father is a construction worker.
Mazen likes to deliver speeches as he believes himself to be eloquent. He likes computers and hopes to innovate one.
"All my dreams are to help my people, to help other children my age despite my small age. I thank God for the opportunity of being a CMC member - which gives me the opportunity for my dreams to become true. The opportunity that I have at CMC to express myself and to participate, I can not find it at my family and not at any place else"Mazen promised his friends at school is his election campaign the "provision of clean water at my school, getting the streets surrounding my school paved and planting trees inside the school and in the neighborhood".
His eldest brother supported him at all stages of the elections. When he informed his brother about his success in the elections, his brother distributed sweets to neighbors and friends.
Mazen is developing himself beyond the training he received by the Gaza NGO, Canaan. He is attending training on Planning and Management for university students after his sister encouraged him to participate.
"At the beginning the organizers of the training refused my participation but when they learned that I was the Gaza CMC Mayor, they approved and I am doing very well in the training."
Mazen says he wanted to be a CMC member because he is willing to express himself and likes others to listen to him and to his thoughts. He likes to serve other children in his school and neighborhood.

Gosselin: Cowboys' many needs call for simple draft plan - trust your board
In a perfect world — or a perfect draft — the needs of a team would always dovetail with the abilities of a particular player when an NFL club goes on the clock for its selection.
It's Andrew Luck available to a quarterback-needy Indianapolis Colts on the first overall pick of the 2012 draft, J.J. Watt sliding to a defensive front-needy Houston Texans at the 11th pick of the 2011 draft, and Maurkice Pouncey falling to the center-needy Pittsburgh Steelers at the 18th pick of the 2010 draft.
That wasn't the case in 2013 for the Cowboys. Their area of need was the offensive line, so the Cowboys were locked into drafting a blocker in the first round.
Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd was the fifth-best player on the Dallas draft board last April, and even though he slid to the Cowboys at 18, he was not an offensive lineman. So the Cowboys traded out of the pick.
In the mind of the Valley Ranch drafters, need at a position overrode the ability of a player.
Now the pressing need of the Cowboys in the opening round of the NFL draft Thursday night is, not surprisingly, defensive line. The departures of DeMarcus Ware and Jason Hatcher have reduced an already-soft pass rush to marshmallow status. The Cowboys are in dire need of two walk-in starters on the defensive front.
Obviously, the higher you draft defensive linemen, the better chance they have of stepping in and having an immediate impact. When you field the NFL's worst defense, the defensive line becomes a more pressing area of concern in 2014 than the offensive line was in 2013.
The Cowboys have the 16th and 47th overall picks of this draft. In a perfect world, a pair of quality defensive linemen would be there for the taking.
I sat through a 45-minute pre-draft news conference at Valley Ranch the other day, and I heard two impactful sentences, the first from owner Jerry Jones and the second from coach Jason Garrett.
"I would hope that we can find defensive players at the right value," said Jones, addressing the priorities of his team.
"The worst mistake you can make is to overdraft for need," said Garrett, addressing the possible dilemma of his team.
The perfect match for the Cowboys at 16 would be Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald. He led the NCAA with 28 1/2 tackles for loss, including 11 sacks, in winning the Bednarik, Lombardi, Nagurski and Outland trophies as college football's best defender.
Donald could potentially give defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli the inside presence in Dallas that Hall of Famer Warren Sapp gave him in Tampa.
But blue-chip defensive linemen historically don't slide in the draft, and it's a long shot that Donald would be there for the Cowboys at 16.
Edge pass rushers Jadeveon Clowney, Khalil Mack and Anthony Barr also would represent upgrades for the Cowboys. But, like Donald, all could be gone by the time the Cowboys go on the clock.
At that point, do you reach for the next-best defensive linemen at 16 to address the need? Do you trade down in search of a softer spot in the first round that could offer you better options but lesser talents?
Remember, you can never go wrong selecting the best player on your board.
The goal is to build a team capable of competing for championships on an annual basis. Continually slapping draft-day patches on areas of need slows that process. It's time for the Cowboys to start thinking long-term. They owe it to their fans.
Trust your board. Draft the best players. Don't reach. Take the value on a board that Will McClay and his personnel department have spent 12 months preparing. Build a roster, not a position.
Defensive line isn't the only area of need for a team that has failed to qualify for the playoffs for four consecutive seasons. Weakside linebacker, safety, guard, wide receiver and running back are all areas that could use an infusion of talent.
If the defensive line board is light at 16, don't reach — draft the player who makes you a better football team.
If the board says take Ohio State weakside linebacker Ryan Shazier at 16, take him. If it says take Louisville safety Calvin Pryor, take him. If it says take LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., take him. If the board says take Virginia Tech corner Kyle Fuller, take him.
All would make the Cowboys a better football team in 2014 — and 2015, 2016 and 2017. One draft is not going to fix all that ails the Cowboys. It's time to study the big picture and draft accordingly.

I started using some free sprites from this site and loaded then into Tiled Map Editor. everything worked correctly expect for the shadows. At the moment they look like this Tiled Map Editor allows me to remove the blue background to make it transparent but I don't know how to remove the pink. On the site the author talks a bit about the shadows but I didn't understand much. They are supposed to look like this when used correctly I tired looking through the slick2d javadoc and even googled the problem for about 2 hours and couldn't find a thing.

item description:
For a limited time receive a 40 cm Steam Mop and a Dupray Carrying Case with your purchase of the Dupray Hill Super Inox Steam Cleaner! Retail value $263.00!
The Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner offers the most powerful steam cleaning capabilities available in a portable commercial unit. This powerful Tecnovap machine is capable of cleaning and disinfecting faster than traditional methods can. The Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner harnesses the power of steam to clean every inch of your vehicle, both inside and out and is also capable of deep cleaning nearly any area of your home.
If youÆve ever used another commercial steam cleaning unit, you may have gotten the impression that these machines are beasts that are best left to professionals. Lesser consumer-grade machines take what seems like forever to heat up, use gallons upon gallons of water to run, and have only one pressure setting, making them unusable on delicate surfaces. ThatÆs not the case with the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner. It heats in only 7 minutes, uses very little water, and offers fully adjustable variable pressure settings. This is especially important when working on delicate surfaces where the disinfecting power of heat is more important than the actual steam.
The Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner includes a generous accessories kit for a multitude of cleaning projects.
The Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner offers a low-humidity dry steam system not usually available in an affordable commercial unit. Producing 62g per minute, the Hill Super Inox utilizes steam with a 5% humidity content and heats to a maximum temperature of 345░ assuring a perfectly clean surface that will dry quickly, eliminating the risk of mold or mildew forming. The high heat disinfectsŚeven killing bedbugsŚwithout the use of chemicals. Since the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner uses little water, has a 3.2 quart water reservoir, and can be refilled while the machine is in use, youÆll be able to finish the job even faster! With an unmatched 121 psi of steam pressure, the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner is ideal for loosening up difficult automotive residues like brake dust, carbon, oil, salt, diesel smoke and more. Boiling water is then injected into the steam to aid in rinsing the residues away faster than ever before!
Each Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner features a stainless steel body and a 2.1 quart stainless steel boiler, making for a stronger, more durable machine that is easier to clean than inferior plastic models. The TIG welded stainless steel boiler in the Hill Injection machine is designed to outperform and outlast standard aluminum or steel found in other steamers. Each machine features an electromagnetic float system within the boiler to clean scale, calcium, and mineral build up during regular operation. This float system allows the use of tap water without the fear of clogging the machine. In fact, the system only requires a quick 60 second drain and rinse after every 50 hours of operation. If youÆre worried about expensive replacement parts, donÆt! Unlike other systems that require the entire boiler to be replaced when the heating element goes out, the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner incorporates replaceable heating elements that save you time and money!
The Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner includes 24 Tecnovap accessories designed to withstand the high temperatures that the steamer produces, while offering an option for nearly every cleaning need. With the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner and all of its accessories you will be able to clean your vehicleÆs paint, upholstery, rims, engine bay, floor mats, carpeting and more. When youÆre done detailing your vehicle, take the Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner inside the house to clean grout, flooring, walls, upholstery, and even kill bedbugs!

Antharion - Update #5, Game Progress
The Kickstarter campaing for Antharion is with 19 days to go halfway to its goal and they bring us this small update on what progress they are making with the game.
Have to confess, I really like the graphical style. In the video of the party running around annihilating stuff, they look so angry.
Game looks cool. But if I was them I would have set the entry point for the game to 10$ instead. In that case I would have pledged even if I had to sacrifice the wallpaper. :P
Are you honestly saying 15 dollars is too much for you?
I am saying that 15 dollars are too much for a project looking that indy to attract a lot of people and that 15 dollars are definetly above my "impulse purchase" grade - and I'd consider that being a good thing.
We are not talking about an AAA title price like 50€ for xcom.
We are also not talking about an kickstarter project promising to be a AAA title like Wasteland 2 (15$), Project Eternity (20$) or Shadowrun Returns (15$).
Or a very promising indie kickstarter title like Xenonauts (20$) or maybe M.O.R.E. (10$).
It's about a game, where there is a slim chance that I will have fun with it for more than a couple of hours. And in this very case I would not have spent more than 10$. Of course you can argue that is all about supporting developers, but well…I got a limited amount of money to spend.
Might want to tell that to all the indie devs out there with even worse graphics.
So…would you back this project with 50 bucks? And if not, why?
I mean if you want to back this project it's great and I wouldn't want to stop you. As I said, I think it looks good and it would be cool if they make it.
But I also think that having 10$ as minimum price for the game would have been a better idea.
BTW: My favorite games of this year are FTL and Avernum - and I am quite sure these are not fighting for the top places in graphical quality either (bought these on steam for 9.99€ and 7.99€ btw)
You do realize that avernum was on sale when you bought it right? avernum is regularily $20, far beyond your pay range.
It's a neat project and I'm watching it too, but there's no need to get hostile to someone for stating a preferred lower cost for entry on this one. This game looks like a lot of work went into it and it looks like it might be fun, but $15 is a hard sell for me too, here. No offense to the developers, but that's simply how it is. If my $15 ends up being the breaking point in the last hour, I'm in. Otherwise, I'll wait for it to show up for sale, hopefully on sale. Their Kickstarter IS going well, though. I imagine they'll reach their goal and then some. :)
PS: And I got Avernum for $3.39. <3 Steam sales. It's regular price is $9.99, BTW. Referring to Vogel's premium pricing on his own webstore is kinda disingenuous.
It's not premium pricing, it's what he charges on his website….should I look everywhere to see if thats what he charges elsewhere?
If 15 is a breaking point for many, I'm thinking perhaps backing games might not be a wise financial decision. To me anything below 20 dollars is good, going off what the really big companies charged is a bit off putting since they know they will get enough support to offer that lower price and still make their goal.
Okay, sorry but if great games are available for next to nothing, why should anyone not play games? I paid $2 for Alpha Protocol, $5 for DA:O, $7 for Divinity 2, etc. You are being a jerk and there is no reason to be.
I dont think i've ever seen a new / pre-order PC game sold for $10, old games will always be available for $5, this game is no exception ofcourse. You're comparding apples and oranges.
Well, that comment was more about rune's classist little rant more than the prices of new games.
..But since you asked! Many niche-r indies launch at $10. FTL, Avernum, Hotline Miami, Rocketbirds, Wanderlust: Rebirth… there's five right there. Five recent ones, all from within the past few months. And don't pretend Avernum costs more. It is $10. Sure, a DRM free copy is $15 on GamersGate and the same DRM free copy is available on his personal webstore for even more, but that doesn't mean it's not still $10 on Steam for the exact same game.
Wasnt talking about indie games since you didnt compare prices to indie games, but old bargain bin AAA games, there's a difference. But nevermind.
Personally i would never pre-order anything if i wasnt really interested in it, that's kind of the whole idea behind KS, so i think for most people it doesnt matter if its $10 or $15. I would have backed FTL at $20 too, it wouldnt have mattered, at all.
I just upped my pledge, so I've got you two covered.
If $5 makes or breaks a game purchase for you, then you may want to consider spending less time gaming/forum hopping. Obviosly your AO comes into play, but I can hardly buy a pint of decent beer for less than $5.
What some people don't get is that backing a KS isn't like browsing the Steam store hoping to find some low priced game(s). KS is a niche market. It's not like i could go onto Steam and find something almost exactly like FTL, or Anatharion for that matter.
In niche titles it is hard to make your money back when you sell for less…especailly on kickstarter, if it was only 10 dollars to get a copy of the game I'm sure it wouldn't be at the amount it has.
Darkling, if you want to have a discussion great, if you want to name call go somewhere else.
PS: I backed 30 dollars for the record.
Of course 5$ isn't tons of money and if you are sure you get something for that, it's well spent. But on kickstarter you can hardly know whether the game releases at all and if the game will be great as you purchase it in advance.
Of course you need to take into consideration that some games would never make it to the light of day if you would not give them money in advance. But everyone has to find the balance for himself. Ultimately, as I said - if you are sure you will love it, the money is well spent.
That said, forum hopping is also a way of entertainment, otherwise we probably wouldn't write here, right? It's not like we would change much with our little discussion.
@rune_74 what you put up in the first postings wasn't much of an discussion either which was also why I stopped replying as it felt like bumping my head against a wall.
Your last posting however has a point. But it is very hard to say if it is valid or not and a lot of things influence it. Spiderweb is a good example. Their games costed like the double or so in the past when they didn't sell them on steam. Because the fan base was small but strong and paid that money. Now with having steam and a much bigger audience they could lower the price to get a lot of people buying the game who just think they could like it. I bought Avadon at first and played it for tons of hours. And as the game was great I bought their next game Avernum as well.
Now I got one friend who picked up Avadon and played it for a couple of hours but didn't like it. And I have another one who picked up Avernum, and also dropped it after a couple of hours. And if you look into the achievement stats, that's a huge part of the customers. The majority of these people probably wouldn't have bought it for 20€ or so. Spiderweb apparently made a lot of additional profit with that and did that step also with several of their old games.
On the other hand, you have got two other extremes:
Maybe you know of Dominions3, another indie? game, released in 2006. This game still costs 55$. Maybe this game appeals to almost no one, but those interested in it, have no good alternatives. For a developer it's a risky step to say "lets sell it for 10$ now and see what happens" If they don't sell more than 5 times as much now, they are in a bad position of course. Steam mitigates this quite a bit.
The second example here is Distant Worlds. This game is still for 33€+21€+21€=75€ for the game with both expansions which enhance the game immenseley as claimed in the forums. Basically the same thing. If they selled it for half the price, would they sell twice as much? Maybe, and maybe not. And if they can live with it right now, they might not see the necessity to change it. Thoug my personal guess is, that they would make a lot more money if they would sell it for half the price on steam. I am also pretty sure that steam wouldn't even allow such a high price.

The painter had learned a great deal about the unstable relationship of things. Life to death. One life to two lives. Fresh to rotting. Human to monster. He had seen it all. He had enough. He was an old man, and he was ready to die. He told her that.
"I wanted to be famous, but I've become a sell out." He told her. She had been posing as his wife for years now, since they came to this city. "My art isn't even my art anymore."
She was not a painter, let alone the artsy type. While she had been trained to deal with feelings, she did not completely understand. He was a famous artist. That was what he had asked of her. "So, this is it?"
"No." He answered quickly. "I want to do one more painting." He wanted to transform a blank canvas into something beautiful one last time. And this time it would be something he wanted, not some rich man's vanity project. "I want to paint you, as you really are."
Slowly, her form shifted. Blonde became grey. Open space became horns. The simple clothes she wore from day to day became and intricate gown. Human to something else. "What do you have in mind? Nothing to risque, I hope."
"Not at all." He leaned in, "Now, if you could just recline on the chair and look out the window...."
And she did. The city of Florence was beautiful. The Renaissance had made it a wonderful playground for her. There was the hustle and bustle of trade (and a few merchants where rarely missed), the artistic types, the politics and the day to day people. Surely this would be a time history remembered, no matter how Florence changed.
While looking out the window, she spotted a blonde woman from many years ago. It was while the ink on the contract was still fresh. The painter had asked her to find him a subject that was dangerous, yet entrancing. (Had he wanted to paint her all this time?) Griseldis had brought him back a succubus she found prowling.
"No one's ever painted me before." The ram horned woman smiled, placing her hands over her swollen abdomen. The painter decided that she was a perfect subject for the encompassing nature of motherhood. "I have a lot of kids." The woman explained, cradling her stomach as directed. "I worry a lot, that I won't be a good mother to them all. I wish I could just stop and focus on what I have now, but I can't. They won't let me."
"Did you have a good relationship with your mother?" Griseldis asked. The painter would get used to her speaking with his subjects, but for now her voice startled him.
"I do." She answered, a smile coming back to her face at the memories of her happy childhood.
"Hold that. Please, hold that expression." He begged. She did. The painting became popular very quickly, as did the artist.
She wanted to ask if he remembered, but she was sure he did. Eventually, she fell asleep, and when she woke, stars illuminated the sky. "I'm just finishing now." He told her. "I think this is my best yet."
"What do you want me to do with it?" She asked. What was to become of his last, and perhaps finest, work?
He shrugged. "Let it dry, keep it yourself. Give it to an admirer. I'll be dead. What do I care?" He looked up at her, and there seemed to be something behind his eyes. She couldn't place it. "I'm done. I'm ready to die Griseldis."
She let his last sight be his last work. It was indeed his finest.

ST launches market's smallest 3-axis analog gyroscope
3 comments
The L3G462A from STMicroelectronics (ST) is a motion-sensor with what the company claims is the market's smallest 3-axis analog-output gyroscope. Housed inside an ultra-small 4mm x4mm x1 mm package, ST's newest gyroscope is designed for superior performance and reliability with smart power management and design flexibility. The new sensor is targeted for high-precision gesture control and intuitive user interfaces in mobile phones, tablets, game controllers and other consumer devices.
ST's L3G462A gyroscope provides accurate angular-rate detection with a separate output for each of the three axes. The full scale of ±625dps accurately measures gestures and movements of different types and speeds, enabling applications from navigation to motion-activated user interface and gaming. The analog interface ensures very fast response with low latency and offers flexibility in external filtering capabilities and fine-tuning of key parameters to the individual application requirements.
The gyroscope's extremely compact design eliminates the layout and placement issues common with existing bulkier solutions, without penalty in performance or reliability. The stability over temperature (±0.04dps/°C) and sensitivity (±0.017%/°C) significantly improves measurement accuracy. The low noise level (0.017dps/√Hz) guarantees high precision in movement and gesture recognition.
ST's newest 3-axis analog-output gyroscope can operate with supply voltages in the range of 2.4 to 3.6V. The power-down and sleep-to-wake modes contribute to the reduction in power consumption of the entire system.
All of ST's MEMS gyroscopes employ a single sensing structure for motion measurement along all three orthogonal axes. This design approach eliminates all interference between the axes, significantly increasing accuracy and reliability in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications.
Volume production is scheduled for the end of Q3 2011 and the unit price is $3.50 in quantities of 1000 pieces.

Small back-to-back earthquakes occurred before dawn today in the Salton Sea, east of San Diego, on or near the strands of the San Andreas faults that were cited as potentially dangerous in a new study by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The first quake, measuring 3.0, happened at 1:56 a.m. and was followed three minutes later by a 2.3 shaker. The first event occurred along the southeast edge of the lake. The second occurred close to the middle of the sea, which is less than 60 feet deep. Small quakes are common in that region and don't suggest that the southern San Andreas is about to produce a large earthquake.

So I always try to tell people to volley with their feet. That means their feet have to get to the ball. It's been my experience when you have very little backswing that your mind tells your feet, "I've got to get in position better."
What I am really talking about is aligning to the ball. I want the person to get behind the ball so they can drive the legs and the racket through to the target.
I also want players to load on the outside foot. I want people to understand that even though the volley is a shorter, more compact stroke, the power still starts from the ground. I want them to get on their outside foot and push down, especially on the backhand.
Height of the Ball
The height of the ball dictates the angle of the racket. The higher the ball is, the flatter the shot. The lower the ball, the more beveling or opening of the racket.
|Keeping the racket at eye level is crucial for an effective volley.
But the basic motion is not going to change. The player is still going to stay compact and hit through the shot as much as possible. As the contact point goes down, the player needs to keep the racket at eye level, or as close as they can, depending on the ball.
To accomplish this, I very seldom tell a student to bend their knees. Instead I say, "Keep the racket at eye level." I think this is more effective. Because you can bend your knees and still drop the racket head. But if you try to keep the racket head at eye level, you will use your knees automatically.Moving Through
|Regardless of your stance, the important part of a winning volley is movement through the shot.
I think when you flow through the volley in this fashion, it promotes confidence. It's part of the emphasize on calmness and seamless movement.
The Wrist on the Forehand
"Keep your wrist firm on the volley." That's something you hear all the time. But this is one of the biggest mistakes I see on the forehand volley. I see kids that come here, nationally-ranked kids, good players. They're keeping their wrists so firm on the forehand volley that the whole motion is locked up and the contact point is late.
The reality is there is a lay back in the wrist on the forehand volley. You can see it clearly in footage of the good volleyers. The hand is driving the racket with the wrist laid back. It's very important and the motion can't really be fluid without it.
The Backhand Volley
As with some other top coaches, I refer to the backhand volley as a karate chop, struck with the edge of the racket hand. I like to see a stretch in the shoulder, and to see the racket going out. At the same time, the back arm moves back the other way.
I always teach the one hand. I never teach a two-handed backhand volley. I have five-year-olds and six-year-olds that can volley with one hand. People see an eight-year-old at the net and say, "Wow! This guy's got an amazing backhand volley. How did that happen?" I say, "Well he started at five the right way."
Then I see a 16-year-old girl with a two-handed backhand volley, and the coach or the parent say, "Well now she's big enough, so it's time to change her backhand volley." That's a big developmental mistake.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to one thing: What does the ball look like coming off the racket? Does the ball really pop or squirt off the racket? A good volley has a certain look. I don't care if it has no backspin on it or has a little or has a lot. A good volley always has a certain look when the ball comes off the strings.
Calmness, compact technique, the ball popping off the strings, the player trying to get his opponent off balance, taking advantage of every opportunity to come forward.
I don't think it's too much to ask, and I think that we can look forward to seeing it at higher levels soon. And for recreational players who take these ideas seriously, the sky is the limit. That's the great thing about this game, it's always evolving to the next level.
Rick Macci is widely regarded as one the world's top developmental coaches. In the last 20 years, students of the Macci Tennis Academy have won 98 USTA national junior championships, and have been awarded over 4 million dollars in college scholarships.

University of Northern Iowa: Affiliates of the American Chemical Society
We are the University of Northern Iowa Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. For our sake and yours, we simply refer to ourselves as "ACS." As our name implies, we are student members of a national organization known as the American Chemical Society. Chemists in all walks of life align themselves with the national organization in order to keep tabs on new developments in the realm of chemistry, improve themselves professionally and spread the word about their research.
Being a part of the national American Chemical Society is especially thrilling for us as UNI undergraduates. First of all, our membership helps connect us with chemistry graduate programs, if that is the path we choose to take after our years at UNI. Also, many of us choose to conduct research. Any ACS members at UNI who conduct research and has their abstract accepted by the national society can present that research at the society's national annual meeting, with nearly all expenses paid by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as ACS.
All work and no play makes ACS members dull boys and girls, though. No worries — ACS is not in danger of becoming dull anytime soon. For instance, we've recently begun an annual intradepartmental competition known as "MarCHEMadness," held in the month of March. Participating faculty divide themselves into several teams and recruit chemistry students to their teams, all in pursuit of the most coveted of chemistry awards, the Golden Erlenmeyer. A series of about half a dozen competitions takes place throughout the month, testing team members' titration, video game, athletic, pie eating and poker skills. You haven't completed your chemistry education at UNI until you've lost all your chips to your Inorganic Chemistry professor.
When our professors aren't kicking our tails in Mario Kart, they're instilling in us a passion for chemistry. To share our passion, we host several outreach events annually. Freshest in our minds is this year's Halloween House. We targeted elementary children and were rewarded with an attendance somewhere between 800-1000 guests on Friday, October 21. For our guests, we performed chemistry demos in several Halloween-themed rooms, including the Bride of Frankenstein's 1-2-3 Superconducting Magnet, fire on the high seas, in the Pirates' Cove and gun cotton and methane bubbles demonstrations in the Devil's Den.
As our favorite ACS T-shirt says, "Trust us. We know what we're doing."

LONDON: A New York-bound flight turned back shortly after takeoff from Britain's Heathrow Airport after a laser light was shone towards it, police said on Monday.
Police responded to "reports of a laser shone in the direction of a commercial flight that had taken off at Heathrow," on Sunday night, a spokesperson said.

The Virgin Atlantic flight from London to New York continued over Ireland before requesting to return, flight radar showed.
A crew member told air traffic control there was a "medical issue with one of the pilots after a laser incident after take-off" according to flight radio recording.
It is not unusual for lasers to be shone at flights in Britain with hundreds of such incidents recorded each year, according to the Civil Aviation Authority.
