On level eight, the DTC system is obviously hypersensitive, and intervenes at the slightest hint of what it determines to be wheelspin (meaning the front and rear wheel speeds exceeding a certain difference). This makes it a bit frustrating to ride with, as it clearly pulls back a lot of power in nearly every cornering situation and the engine doesn't return to anywhere near full strength until you're nearly straight up. This setting would probably be best suited for wet conditions, but even then the disconnection between throttle and power output was difficult to deal with.
Level six was much better, but it too pulled back a lot of power in the majority of cornering situations, especially as you were in the meat of your drive off the corner. However, there were many instances where its softening of the power application as you begin your drive off the corner apex actually allowed higher cornering speeds in that particular section of a turn; it was only when you began to ask for progressively more power in the latter stages of your drive off the corner where it would fall behind the lower settings.
Level three and level one were-as you'd expect-much more selective and precise about how much power they pulled back, and a close examination of the data graphs shows that they clearly provide a better initial drive off the corner in many instances than turning the DTC off completely. It's only the final stages of the corner exit of most corners where the "no TC" bike overtakes the others. Yes, the non-TC bike ultimately turned the quickest lap time and highest top speed down the back straight, but it should be remembered that was with an expert rider at the controls; a lesser-skilled rider would surely benefit from the added safety net (and cornering drive improvement) of the DTC system.

text: Hi, Sorry if I am not using the current legal terms. I was thinking about putting some of my music compositions under CC. While talking with another musician, he noted out that as there was no registration process, using CC wouldn't protect my compositions. Anyone could take them and register them at the existing music copyright organizations (SACEM in France, ASCAP in the USA, ...) under their name. In a nutshell, using CC alone doesn't seem to constitue enough proof as to when a piece of work was registrered. For example, I could predate one composition and put it under CC. A possible solution to this issue could be to have an XML digital signature timestamp process that could bind the CC RDF license, to the piece of work. As the signature is done over a hash of the bits that constitute the digital work, you have a good proof of when you registrered your work and can use it to solve conflicts. Has anyone given thought about applying this kind of timestamping digital signature service to CC? Thanks! -jose

INSIDER trading charges against an AFL umpire-turned-stockbroker - who allegedly tipped celebrity clients including Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse into an obscure biotech stock - were dismissed yesterday.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission had alleged Mark McKenzie, of Anglesea, did not tell his clients the stock tip was based on inside information that a takeover of Vision Systems was in the works.
Mr McKenzie urged clients - including former AFL footballers Rick Olarenshaw and Matthew Banks - to buy shares in the company, the Melbourne Magistrates Court heard. But magistrate Bill O'Day dismissed five insider trading charges against Mr McKenzie for lack of evidence.
ASIC alleged fellow Citigroup broker Colin Hebbard - another former Essendon player - called Mr McKenzie in July 2006 to give him information that Vision was to be taken over at more than $2 a share. US-listed Ventana Medical Systems launched a takeover bid in August 2006 at $2.13 a share.
But Mr O'Day said ASIC had been unable to rule out the possibility that Mr McKenzie and Mr Hebbard had used publicly available information to work out Vision was vulnerable to takeover.
He also blasted the quality of ASIC's expert evidence, saying it ''cannot be relied upon'' because it did not adopt the definition of inside information dictated by company law.
On Tuesday, counsel for ASIC Andrew Field read to the court extracts of phone calls between Mr McKenzie and his clients in which he urged them to buy parcels of between 6150 and 13,500 shares. Mr Field said that during the calls Mr McKenzie did not tell his clients Vision might be taken over.
''He failed to provide this information to his clients because he knew it was inside information,'' Mr Field said.
But the court also heard from some of Australia's top analysts, who gave evidence that there was market speculation about Vision's fate in early 2006. Under cross-examination by Mr McKenzie's counsel, Neil Clelland, SC, Austock's head of emerging companies, Craig Stranger, told the court he had flagged Vision as a takeover target in early 2006.
Alexander Mees, JPMorgan head of emerging companies, also gave evidence that, although he did not write a report saying Vision was a takeover target, he discussed the possibility with investors and fund managers.
Australian Financial Review journalist Anthony Hughes gave evidence by videolink from New York about items he wrote for the newspaper's Street Talk column in 2006 that also suggested Vision was a takeover target.

The editorial Pipelines Aid All Provinces (The Daily News, Aug. 28) took me aback.
The headline sums up the content of the piece well, but I am saddened by the realization that our local paper has swallowed the simplistic and highly controversial position of the federal Conservative party as the whole truth.
The Daily News needs to look beyond short-term economics at the broader impacts of current energy policy.
You, like Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, are taking the easy path by choosing to completely disregard larger issues surrounding pipeline development.
In assessing environmental impacts, we need to accept that "the environment" does not recognize provincial or national boundaries. Actions taken here can and will have an impact around the globe, now and in the future.
The science around climate change is crystal clear — the burning of ever more fossil fuels will make the worst effects of climate change increasingly tragic for those who will feel the worst impacts.
Ironically, your closing sentence states the issue well, if read in the context of the larger environment that we all share: "The approval of these pipelines should depend solely on the environment and their impact on communities."
Enough said.

Creative Writing: the One-Page Novel
The following creative piece is an assignment given to me at Naropa by none other than Andrei Codrescu. The assignment was: a one-page novel. There were also several items/themes, etc. we were supposed to include (sorta like the 24-hour film fest here in Boulder): um, let's see if I remember what they were… 1) a diverse cast; 2) a character missing a limb; 3) fast food; and…I think that was it. Also, it could be no more than one page long and it had to be a novel, not a short story, etc. Here 'tis. It's called LAST KNIGHT. ~Jenn

I've heard a lot of people express their surprise and for some, displeasure, about Charlie Sheen coming to Comcast Arena May 3rd. There's been everything from "why is Everett welcoming that guy?" to people calling each other names for supporting or objecting to the appearance. My thought is there are better ways to spend your money so I went out and purchased some prizes and will be giving them away to people who donate to

Collier County sheriff's deputies said the victim told them David Carrillo-Rodriguez, 33, of Golden Gate, approached her while she was walking home and said he wanted to talk, the Naples Daily News reported Friday.
The woman, who said she previously had a sexual relationship with Carrillo-Rodriguez but called it off because she is married, said the man grabbed her and pulled her behind a house when she refused to talk to him.
Deputies said Carrillo-Rodriguez then told the woman he would show naked pictures he took of her to her husband if she would not have sex with him.
The woman said she kicked Carrillo-Rodriguez and fled.
Carrillo-Rodriguez was arrested at his home Tuesday and charged with domestic battery.

What does critical mean to you?
Business continuity planning is the mission-critical consideration for corporations today. When an IT system goes down, operations either stop or become severely impaired. Core IT applications and strategies must be available to business users around the world 24x7 in order to remain productive and profitable.
For large and publicly traded companies, security, disaster recovery, and compliance issues are also critical. For smaller and mid-size businesses, business intelligence, analytics, and CRM software are often critical elements. And, as companies continue to install higher levels of security, firewall, generated power, and redundancy systems, companies most often fail to test and monitor these systems.
Regardless of the business size, disaster recovery and flexible modular designs that reduce first cost are critical. At EDI, we design and implement networks and platforms that allow the enterprise client to concentrate on delivery of applications to its customers and employees seamlessly and with confidence.
"EDI provided highly professional and competent design and contractor services during remodeling/upgrading construction within our data center. The end result was a more energy efficient data center, saving our company over $10k/year in energy costs."
"The value of EDI is being able to deal with telecommunications issues that we are not up to speed on. EDI took the load off us with their technical expertise."
"We have been very impressed with the capabilities of EDI, particularly their ability to seamlessly integrate their expertise with ours."

White, the organization's executive secretary, warns that despite progress made in civil rights, true equality can't be achieved with a "separate but equal" mandate.

After many unfruitful telephone conversations with Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett, President John F. Kennedy calls the governor one more time to discuss the building tension over James Meredith's impending registration at the University of Mississippi. Though the governor has made clear his opposition to the Supreme Court order to allow Meredith to attend the school, President Kennedy tries to assess whether the governor will maintain law and order when Meredith arrives.

In defiance of the Supreme Court ruling that the University of Mississippi desegregate and allow James Meredith to attend, Gov. Ross Barnett physically blocked the African-American student from entering the building to register on September 20, 1962. Nine days later, President John F. Kennedy telephones Barnett to persuade him to cooperate with the Court's ruling. Barnett does little to reassure Kennedy, and attempts to pawn off the decision on his lawyer friend Tom Watkins.

Kennedy Center:
Improvements Needed to Strengthen the Construction Process
GAO-03-1141T, Sep 10, 2003
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In the mid-1990s, John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Kennedy Center) officials recognized a need for additional parking and better site access. As a precursor to a planned project to construct an 8-acre plaza and two additional buildings at the site, the Kennedy Center is currently in the process of constructing a garage expansion and site improvement project. Because of congressional concerns over project delays and costs as well as challenges the Kennedy Center faces as it pursues this major construction effort, GAO was requested to examine (1) the garage expansion and site improvement project's current costs, time frames, and scope compared to estimates provided to congressional stakeholders in 1997 and 1998 and (2) challenges the Kennedy Center faces in managing large construction projects. GAO issued its findings in a report entitled Kennedy Center: Improvements Needed to Strengthen the Management and Oversight of the Construction Process, GAO-03-823 (Sept. 5, 2003). This testimony is based on that report.
As of July 2003, Kennedy Center officials estimated that the garage expansion and site improvement project would cost $88 million, the garage expansion would be completed in December 2003, the site improvements would be completed in summer 2004, and the project would include 525 parking spaces and various traffic flow improvements. These estimates vary substantially from estimates that Kennedy Center officials provided to congressional stakeholders in 1997 and 1998. At that time, Kennedy Center officials estimated that the project would cost $28 million, would be completed by August 2000, and would include between 900 and 1,000 parking spaces. According to Kennedy Center officials, the initial estimates were preliminary in nature and were based on some unrealistic assumptions. They acknowledged that they should have done a better job of informing Congress of the preliminary nature of the estimates and the subsequent events in the project's planning and bidding phases that affected the costs, time frames, and scope. Kennedy Center officials said they now hold monthly meetings with Congress about the status of ongoing projects. The Kennedy Center faces certain challenges in managing large construction projects. Specifically, the Kennedy Center lacks (1) adequate policies and procedures to guide the planning and management of the construction process, (2) some timely construction data on schedules and costs for effectively overseeing construction projects and measuring results, and (3) key human capital resources and expertise that would be useful in managing the construction process. In its September 2003 report, GAO recommended that the Kennedy Center develop comprehensive project management policies and procedures, ensure development and use of timely data, and ensure that the needs for human capital expertise are met. Kennedy Center officials are now working to address these challenges.

Regulators Intentionally Asleep At The Switch
Reader Comments
The FTC Rule was promulgated in late 1979 to regulate the disclosure process in the sale of retail franchises to the general public and is a prime example of regulatory capture by all of the special interests who benefit from the franchising business model.
Although franchisee advocates have pointed out the serious flaw in the regulation of the sale of franchises to the public (the flaw for the franchisee) the FTC remains deaf, dumb, and blind and prospective buyers of franchises are not provided material risk factors concerning unit performance before they sign the unilateral and adhesory franchise agreements.
Read Franchise Fraud, Churning, Regulation in a Google Search for further comments.
If you have any doubts about this subject I would suggest reading RAILROADS TRIUMPHANT by Albro Martin. The Interstate Commere Commission was NOT captured by the industry. It was captured by agrarian interests because of the wide-spread belief that railroad rates were unfair. The I.C.C. was so dominaed by shipper interests that Prsident Taft tried to interpose a "Commerce Court" to deal with the inequities. Unfortunately, the Commerce Court was short-lived mainly due to the progressive movement which elected Wilson. It didn't help matters when a Commerce Court justice was impeached.
If you take the time to go through the voluminous history of the ICC decisions you will find that the shippers were always the winners. Today, deregulation under the "Staggers Act" has provided a somewhat level "playing field", but the same forces are still in play. Most of railroad critics have no conception of the cost of rail transportation, either in cost of fixed-plant or operating costs. I sometimes wonder if the I.C.C. should be ressurected.

Tata Nano, the world's cheapest car by far is currently exported to the markets like Nepal, Sri Lanka ,Bhutan and Bangladesh, is in the news for quite some time now for its left-hand driven version. In fact the Nano is doing considerably well these markets. Tata motors has been reportedly working on to develop the Nano with left hand drive so that it can be exported to other global markets including Africa, South-East Asia and Europe.
Recently, the left hand driven version of the Nano was spotted in Pune which made us believe that the preparation is in its last phase, and soon we might hear the same from Tata officials. Looking at the pictures one can easily notice that the interiors have been kept almost the same, it's just the steering wheel, which has been fitted in the left.
So these pictures suggest that this particular model is not Europe-bound, it has been especially designed for Afria and South-East Asia. And as the company said earlier "The Nano that is to debut in Europe will be significantly different, but will have same characteristics.", so the Europeans might still have to wait for its launch there. And as per the word on street, the another invention from Tata, Megapixel which was showcased at Goodwood might hit the European markets before the Left-hand driven Nano.

New Type Of Testing (For Me)
My recent infection was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Being ten pounds overweight, having sleep apnea, having fairly high stress levels, and a few other items led to me having a blood glucose level of 325 a week ago. I'm down to 270 today, but I'm still in the land of diabetes. It's especially scary since the last time my blood glucose was tested, it was 80.
Right now, it's looking like it was caught early enough that just "rebooting" the pancreas should be sufficient to get my bloog sugar back to normal, along with some minor dietary changes.
So yeah, it sucks, but such is life.

Hey Rom,
Sorry to hear that your sugar is high. I hope you can get it under control better than I have. Having Diabetes is the worst thing in the world. I have to take shots three to four times a day, test my sugar at least 5 times a day, watch what I eat, etc, etc, etc... It does take over your life.. Good Luck! - 4/18/2007 7:01 PM
- Craig said...
I hope I don't end up like that, but I'm petty sure I will someday.
Anyway, I imagine having aids would trump diabetes. Though I'm no expert.
Hope all goes will with ya Mike, I just got a sinus infection myself (wheefun!)
Not something I wanted to happen a week and a half into my new job, but hey whatever works.

Rep. Thompson asks TSA to suspend behavior detection
Amid new reports of racial profiling in the Transportation Security Administration's behavior detection program, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) asked TSA on Aug. 13 to suspend the program.
Thompson, the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a letter (.pdf) to TSA Administrator John Pistole that Congress has yet to see a third-party validation of the program's scientific basis. Thompson also asked for a cost-benefit analysis for the program.
Thompson has repeatedly called for more evidence that the program works and has safeguards to prevent racial profiling, such as in a letter (.pdf) to Pistole from Aug. 12, 2011.
Thirty-two TSA officers at Boston's Logan International Airport have filed written complaints about racial profiling, says The New York Times, which also spoke to five of the officers.
Officers told the Times that they're under pressure to achieve a certain number of referrals to state police or immigration authorities. Some then target minorities because they think they're more likely to find outstanding arrest warrants or immigration issues.
But the program is intended to detect threats to aviation security.
Behavior detection officers currently operate at 161 airports, and TSA has piloted an expanded version of the program at Logan airport, where officers engage passengers in brief, casual conversations. The idea is that officers can then get better assess if a passenger is behaving suspiciously.
In May 2010, the Government Accountability Office reported (.pdf) that TSA deployed the program without first validating its basis in science. No scientific consensus exists on whether the program's principles are reliable, auditors also found.
Thompson has asked (.pdf) the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Peter King (R-N.Y.), to hold a full committee hearing on the program.
Rep. Bill Keating (D-Mass.), ranking member of that committee's oversight and investigation subcommittee, has also requested that his Republican counterpart hold a hearing once Congress returns from its recess in September.

Vanity Fair is one of my all time fave mags, mostly for the photo shoots and the April 2009 issue is not going to be any different. VF is focusing on the comedy in our lives in this issue by shining the spotlight on today's leading funny people. You MUST SEE this!
The cover pic of the article is PRICELESS! The leading men in comedy mock the rediculous shot of Tom Ford, Keira Knightly and Scarlett Johansson (and i think they might look better doing it). I just love seeing people as other people... did that make sense? Anyways, I've posted all of the pics of all of the funny stars, dressed up as other stars... Hmmm. There has to be a better way to say that, but you get it! Click the link below to see the pics from VF, they are ahmazing and you won't regret it!
Amy Poehler (SNL) as Bonnie and Will Arnett (Arrested Developement) as Han Solo. This hilarious duo make the cutest hubby and wife match!
Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) as Buster Keaton, the funniest man in silent films. J. Segel has always played that emotional kinda guy, but SO FUNNY! Think of his role on Freaks and Geeks.
Bill Hader (SNL), Anna Faris (House Bunny), Jason Bateman (Arrested Developement) and Leslie Mann (Knocked Up) remake the hilarious foursome from the Honeymooners. Did you guys know that Leslie Mann is married to Judd Apatow! SO AWESOME!
We all fell in love with Russell Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and we were all kinda weirded out by him when he hosted the MTV awards. But he really is HILAR and that hair is crazy!
Oh Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) and your mutton chops. I've always loved this ogre of a man, he was even the voice of the little mouse in Horton Hears a Who. Classically awkward with perfect comedic timing!
Paul Rudd (Role Models) will always be Josh, the dorky step-brother in Clueless. I love him! I totally have the hots for this handsome funny-man.
As George Washington, Jonah Hill is quit a few chops away from his foul mouthed, sex obsessed character in Superbad... But no matter how you cut it, he's a total cutie and funny as hell!
Danny McBride (Pineapple Express) is on a red hot roll! He's Will Farrell's new comedic inspiration and he's popping up everywhere. Ever character he plays, make you want to hate him, but he's to darn funny and he makes you become OBSESSED with him.
Okay, I think I went through everyone that has made me laugh in the past year! Here's a link to a few videos of the behind the scenes of the Vanity Fair photo shoots. Life changing and hilarious! Watch it!

So we've been doing lots of cantering and galloping on line and at liberty out in the pasture, which has been fabulous for getting her confidence up at the canter. She's been doing some great cantering now on line in the arena as well as really moving out over some ground poles at the trot.
Riding has been more sporadic lately, though I did ride yesterday. She was about average at the walk but jaw-droppingly unbelievably bracey at the trot, perhaps the worse she's ever been, even worse than this spring. I was absolutely floored and stopped her and just sat there a minute racking my brains as to what had built this in so strongly in just 3 or so days since I'd last ridden and she was quite soft on that inside rein.
Finally I figured it out—it was the canter. When she canters—especially the gallopy canter—and also a fast trot, she counterbends and braces extremely hard, so hard it really honestly looks uncomfortable for the poor horse. I'm not sure why it's so strongly rooted in there—like I said, it cannot be comfortable or feel good, it's so extreme, so it must be something I've built in over the years in a lot of ways. Meaning, she must think she is supposed to do it and it's become habit, or else I'm not convinced she would do something that is so uncomfortable for her. Therefore, it should be relatively easy to fix if I can just explain to her the job is a little different than she thought -- it's to bend, not to counterbend.
Whew! Look at that brace she's got in there at the canter. And look how unhappy she looks, too -- it cannot feel good to her. |
Anyway, with all the cantering I've been doing with her, lately, all of that brace got built right back in in a serious way, even in the trot. So that was too bad to see, but the upside is that her canter is definitely coming along, under saddle, too, and she seems quite content in her job that canter=counterbend. Oh dear!
Watching her on the video Catherine took, she does not look clear about bending and that she should keep it all the time. Her muscle memory is to counterbend and she thinks that's the job, no matter how disgusting it feels to her. So I decided to try and break that today. I did use a sort of pressure, but instead of thinking pressure-release, it was feel-float, so she kept a tremendous expression. I wish there was more I could do with float and not taking such a feel on her head.
So I started her going at a quick trot on line and really "got after" her in a very feel-release way to bend ALL the time, NO counterbend, essentially breaking the muscle memory at every possible step and every possible opportunity. She didn't seem upset and really started to get it at the trot, giving some nice bending and great roundness (which go together, for her). I tried to focus more on her root of her neck and less on her just "turning her head" which can get into a ridiculous thing of her looking straight at me while popping her outside shoulder and such nastiness. But focusing on the root gets gorgeous collection, though she does have stiff ramener muscle memory that pops in there sometimes.
Canter transitions
I wanted to try that in the canter but she started getting very upset—she started breathing hard, and she never breathed hard for a moment in all our fast work over the past few days which were much faster and galloping. So that was wrong… so I went a different way and got her bending really nicely at a fast trot and then did a hard hotspot-core energy canter transition, trying to get the transition right from the bend versus galloping around like a crazy horse first.
It was a rather theatrical transition, she would rock back on her haunches and do some acrobatics, as I think it's hard for her to change such an ingrained muscle memory of canter = gallop + counterbend. However, she would give me a great try for that single stride and I would immediately give her the float and she'd stop. (So, it was trot+bend --> canter stride --> stop.) She didn't seem to mind that at all, stopped breathing hard, and had a marvelous expression when she stopped.
I think all that other cantering was needed or she wouldn't have done the transition at all, but too bad it builds in such brace. I'd like to find a different way of doing that. Maybe I should've started right off the bat with just a transition instead of letting her go longer in it.

good for fall season
November 10, 2012
Excellent pants for running during the fall season. You can also use them during the winter but you will need something underneath like another skin. They are the style of a baggy pants and not compression pants. They are good for running, eventhough they are a little bit long (i'm 5'10''), you can also use them to feel confy at home...
Pros: Ease of use, Great value, Cons: little bit longAwesome For Running

I ordered these in hopes of finding a light-weight pair of athletic pants I could use in a variety of activities. The material is of high quality and meets all my expections from a North Face product. These work great for yoga, running and relaxing around the house. Stitching, zippers and cut of material are great. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a warm weather pair of excercise pants.

Heh, that game reminds me of me. The character's hair, clothes, and the fact that he destroys any tomato he touches, anyway.
Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.
Heh, that game reminds me of me. The character's hair, clothes, and the fact that he destroys any tomato he touches, anyway.
That's the most awesome Flash game ever, next to FPA.
Imma gonna make a couple changes once I recieve the fla from JM *cough*
Haha, that was actually pretty cool. A bit rough around the edges (where you type your name in is a bit badly-sized and the Go! button is somewhat obnoxious to click) but it's to be expected for something that you've spent about an hour on.
That was a lot of fun, good art, I'd love to see the game polished.
I'll fix it up once JM sends me the .FLA.
Wait, you wan't me to send you the FLA???
Come on man, we can't just make a game in an hour, and then POLISH it!
It's called a one hour collab, we can't spend more time on it now.
k, then send me it and I'll include the Kong API and post it on Kongregate. PRETTY PLEASE WIF A CHEWWIE ON TOP!
yeah, that was impressive for a hour game!
High scores. Dummy.
That's what I was thinking, but I was confused because there is no scoring method to our game!
How exactly do you put in Kong API? I might wanna put it in for pixel jumper.
@JM< use the NG API, its easier to work with (just drag and drop, and fill in the name of your "score" variable), to download it all you have to do is go to the flash submit page on NG, scroll down until you see the link that says NG API, download it, install the extension for flash, then register your game in the "my account" space. with it, you can also use flash ads, scoreboards, and other cool stuff.
No extension for flash and trust me, kong api is easy. Sometimes it's buggy, though. but not usually.
(JM I will do a Game Complete high score.)
Finished Kong API intergration. Should I put it up, or you? If you, ill send the swf.
Also I/you can put it up on NG with NG integrated.
I guess I'll post it and add you as a collaborator.
Cause you dint respond D:
EDIT: http://www.kongregate.com/games/davidlougheed/the-man-who-found-his-shoes
EDIT: accept the collab invite. I shuldn;t of posted it cause i dint do nothing, but whatevz.ill paypal/mail you money if we get any,
57 plays...
300+ plays now.
Anyway, I've made a new version of Pixel Jumper. And don't worry Ross, I'll work on Twisted tomorrow. This only took me a few hours today, so I'm not taking to much time out of our twisted dev time.
400+. Knowing games that aren't instant hits, itll prolly get ~700 plays.
Anyway... could I get some input here on the game?
I don't think I've ever actually finished a game, and I want to know if there's anything that could be done to finish it.

Apollo 14 Lunar Surface Science |
Apollo 14 The Apollo Program |
As in previous
lunar landing missions, a contingency sample of lunar surface material was
collected during the first EVA period.
The Apollo 14 landing crew devoted the major portion of the first EVA to deployment of the ALSEP instruments. These instruments remained on the Moon and transmitted scientific data to the Manned Space Flight Network on long-term physical and environmental properties of the Moon. These data could be correlated with known Earth data for further knowledge on the origins of the planets and its satellite. Additional experiments included the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LRRR) and the Lunar Portable Magnetometer (LPM) which was conducted during the second EVA. From Apollo 14 Press Kit. |

ROANOKE, VA—The Stashwick family of Roanoke was "alarmed and saddened" to see a beloved-but-aging TV program suffer yet another terrible episode Tuesday night. "It's devastating to watch it deteriorate like this," said wife and mother Janice Stashwick, shaking her head at the gradual breakdown of the show, which she claimed used to be "so smart" and "with it." "Not only does it barely make any sense these days, but most of the time it just tells the same old story over and over again. This has been a really bad year." Family patriarch and longtime viewer Arnold Stashwick agreed, saying that it's painful to watch the show fall apart like this, and that if it were up to him he would just pull the plug on it.

Top Senate leaders promised Thursday to bring Chris Dodd's Iran sanctions legislation to the Senate floor soon after returning to town next month.
"I want everyone to know that I am committed to getting this legislation to the floor sometime after we return in January," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, said on the Senate floor just after Thursday's early morning vote on healthcare reform legislation, "It would impose new sanctions on Iran's refined petroleum sector and tighten existing US sanctions in an effort to create new pressure on the Iranian regime and help stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon."
The significance of Reid's comments is that he is committing to moving the bill regardless of whether or not he can get unanimous consent from all 100 Senators, as was attempted unsuccessfully this month. It places pressure on negotiators working on the bill by telling everyone that time is of the essence.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, D-MA, was playing a leading role in negotiations between Congress and the administration over the State Department's concerns about the bill, as communicated in this letter from Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg. The key issue was how to exempt from the sanctions countries that cooperate with U.S. efforts to punish Iran.
"I know these discussions will be continuing during recess with the intention of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution so that this legislation can be considered as soon as possible when we get back," Kerry said.
In a Thursday morning interview with The Cable, Kerry said that an agreement with the administration was all but complete, but multiple Hill sources said that there were still key items left to be worked out.
The bill could come to the floor any time from January 19, when the Senate is scheduled to get back to business.
"This is a matter of great urgency," said Josh Block, spokesman for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, "Iran's possession of a nuclear weapons capability would be a devastating blow to America's national security interests. The US and our allies must do everything we can to prevent Iran from acquiring that capacity, and AIPAC strongly applauds the Senate's firm commitment to passing this critical sanctions bill upon their return to Washington."
Meanwhile, Kerry said he is not, after all, traveling to Iran... at least for the time being. The Cable reported last week he had pitched the idea to the White House and the Wall Street Journal followed with a similar story this morning.
"I may go sometime in the future, but I have no plans as of now," Kerry told The Cable, neither confirming or denying that he had proposed being the first senior official to publicly visit Tehran since the revolution.
"There have been a lot of discussions about Iran that I've been involved with," he said, "We talked about various ways to engage Iran and a lot of proposals have been on the table."

AIPAC's Last Big Economic Policy Push...
Was investigated by the FBI first as espionage and later theft of government documents. For details see the Israel Lobby Archive at:
"Iran's possession of a nuclear weapons capability would be a devastating blow to America's national security interests. The US and our allies must do everything we can to prevent Iran from acquiring that capacity...." Of course, Israel has much more to fear about Iran obtaining nuclear weaponry than does the US at this time. Let the Israelis handle this one on their own, if they dare.
Sanctions, whether intended as punishment or to deter a specific behavior have limited utility, if any. After all, we have sanctioned Cuba for fifty years and it has done very little to affect the Castro regime's hold on that country, although it has certainly punished the Cuban people. While we impose sanctions, the Russians, Chinese, et al are pleased to continue beneficial trade policies toward Iran. The Iranians will laugh off our sanctions again. They are accustomed to our threats and and our impotence.
Obama's overtures to open a dialogue with the Iran leadership have not borne fruit yet - the Iranians obviously have a great many problems within their own state right now - and why should they bother to open a dialogue with us when it serves their interests better to tell their populace that all their problems are due to the US and its allies (including UK and Israel). If we initiate new sanctions that impose any hardships on the Iranian people, we will certainly once again appear to legitimize their leaders' charges that the US wants to topple the 'duly elected' government of the Persian state. Oh, and we do have a history there, do we not? Remember, we helped put the Shah in power, and the Iranian people have not forgotten that.
Reid and Kerry are both off base with this waste of time. This is much more about kowtowing to AIPAC and Israeli hardliners than it is to protecting vital US national security interests. There are far more important issues for the US Congress to deal with. The day Iran gets the bomb will not be the end of our world. The day they use it could be the end of theirs, and they are smart enough to know that, even if the leadership in the Whitehouse and the US Senate is not.

There's nothing that gets me sobbing like a good proposal story recounted by a gushing newly-engaged couple. I love the tales of trickery and romanticism, the confusion of women when their weekend plans of relaxing on the couch are being mysteriously altered (no I DO NOT want to take off my ugg boots and tracksuit pants and go on some mystery expedition with you!), and of course the nerves from the guys despite them being 100% sure she will say yes. But apart from when getting proposed to, it's not often that you get to be there for the big event.
Well here's one that was captured on camera, it will make you laugh and probably cry a little too. This is a blissfully happy couple surrounded by so much love x

The Bedroom
Here is my bedroom with two beds...rather odd. Perfect for company, though (HINT, HINT!). I went out and bought new bedding because the regulation bedding here is sooo ugly.
I used to complain that I missed out on the "real" University experience because I lived at home or on my own during University and never lived in a dorm. Be careful what you wish for! Fast forward almost 10 years, and I live in a dorm. It's a dorm filled with those in their mid- to late-twenties, mind you, but do not be mistaken, it's a dorm. (I also finally included some more photos of the "dorm--yeah, it's kinda blah, but I'm doing my best to spruce it up without going broke!).
There are definite positive and negatives of living in this environment. The positives are that you are never lonely and there are always people to hang out with. This can also be a negative, as "me time" is hard to come by, especially when everyone keeps his/her apartment doors open and it is commonplace for people to do the knock and open before they are officially invited inside. Another negative: the rumour mill--it's ridiculous here! I think it originates from boredom, but, basically, there is no escaping the rumour mill. In fact, I fell victim to it before I even got here (there was a rumour that
The Bedroom 2
I also had to purchase a shoe rack because I somehow managed to fit 14 pairs of shoes into my two pieces of luggage!
I dated one of the guys here who's from Edmonton even though we had only met once, and at a work event, I might add)! And since I'm not a gossip at all and hate hearing gossip ;), I just don't know what to do with all of this information! Actually, it's quite humourous for now, but I can see it getting a bit trying later on. However, for the most part, I really enjoy the people I work with. When I took this position, my biggest fear was not moving across the world to the Middle East or taking on a new position, but the possibility of working with new people who may not prove to be as fabulous as the Incite crew! Luckily, the staff are a fun group of people who work hard and play hard.
This week, Koren and I had a dinner party for six on Tuesday, I went for dinner with a group of people on Wednesday at a very funky restaurant called "Mint", and 17 of us went to a DJ show last night. It's been a full week. I'm also still looking to get a membership at one of the hotels,
The Kitchen
so I've been busy getting tours (and facials ;) to figure out which one I want to join. Funny story: We were touring the Intercontinental Hotel earlier this week and a guy from Sri Lanka was our tour guide. He asked us where we were from and we answered, "Canada". He asked if we were from Toronto (of course), and I responded that I was from the west--Alberta. He said he wasn't familiar with it. However, out of nowhere he said the funniest and most random thing: "My favourite place is Edmonton". You should have seen my face. How random is that? I guess he had read that Edmonton was voted the best place to live in some survey in the 90s, so decided that our city was his favourite place. It was quite funny.
So, anyway, that's my little ramble for this week. I guess another great thing about the dorm is that it's helping stave the homesickness. I miss you all tremendously, but I'm doing surprisingly well (much better than when I went to Scotland when I was 20). It makes me sad that, perchance, I'll be missing out on some big events this year, but I
The Dining Room
also have some exciting things planned, and I know Edmonton will be waiting for me when I get back. Actually, I do have exciting travel plans to share. There's talk of a few of us going on a one week African safari to Kenya. Nairobi is only a four hour flight from here. How cool is that? It's not cheap, but it is definitely cheaper than waiting until I move back to Canada to do it! Those should be some amazing photos!
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well!

Night out at the Mint
The cool decor at Mint.
Night out at the Mint 2
Here's Bailey and I at the Mint. What's that in our teeth? Why mint toothpicks, of course!
Night out at Mint 3
Some of the work crew: (Clockwise starting with me: me, Bailey, Brock, Megan, Dana, Abir, and Greg (Abir and Greg are friend's of Dana's and work for Georgetown University here))
The Rooftop
Here are some of the girls I work with. We were having a pre-party on the rooftop before heading out to the DJ show on Thursday night. (L to R: Ashley (my bosses' nanny), Lindsey (fellow Edmontonian), Koren (my roommate), Eva, me, Dana, Amy, and Asha)
And, of course, another Orry Statue
This is one of four at the City Centre mall...if you look to the right you can see the skating rink. Not quite equivalent to Dubai's indoor ski hill, but still funny nonetheless. Bailey and I now have 9/19 statues checked off--getting sick of it yet? ;)

Man, that is the coolest mascot I've ever seen. Maybe after you complete your travels and get all 19 statues on film you can post them, that would be awesome!
