Very revealing. Checking the National news on this pathetic vcstar I took note of two articles that the "powers that be" took off the AP and used in part herein.
The first, and here is the complete article posted by the Star even though there are lengthy accounts, by AP elsewhere.
" MIDLAND, Texas (AP) - Police say four veterans killed after train slammed into parade float in Midland, West Texas."
That was the title and they used that same title as the verbiage of the entire story.

Now this tragedy is making National news and the VC Star expends 19 words to report it. There was a parade in Midland, TX honoring disabled, war injured Veterans. They were riding on a float which got hit by a train and four were killed and several more injured.
And with the day's re-posting of the National news is this story, also from the AP but with a full account of how some homeless, gay, lesbian, and transsexual youths are having a difficult time since their shelter was damaged from the East coast storm.
This they report in its entirety and used 549 words:

Unbelievable priorities! But very reflective of the VCStar staff mindset. And of course both articles have the comments disabled so to comment on them I have to post here if I want to comment and hope they will see it.

how to draw a shoe
Method 2
Oh, and by the way, I have used exactly the same tools as in the last post minus the tracing paper. You don't need that.
Step 1. Get your Converse boot, or whatever it is you want to draw, and draw around it. Yes, actually put it on the page and draw around it. I've used pencil to get the initial shape in the drawing above. It'll never be true to shape, because it depends what angle you are coming from (in so many ways), but I like that.
Step 2. Then draw around the pencil outline with a ballpoint to give you a ballpoint outline (apologies for the totally bloody obviousness of what I'm saying). It doesn't matter if it differs from the pencil outline, it's your shoe and your drawing.

Proceedings of the Interim Meeting of the ICOM-CC Metal Working Group, Charleston, South Carolina, USA, 11-15 October 2010. Mardikian, P., Chemello, C., Watters, C., and Hull, P. (eds), Clemson University, Charleston: 92-98. (ISBN 978-0-9830399-2-1)
Abstract: Identification of hot-tinning on corroded bronze is often a challenging task due to the various mechanisms by which shiny or grey surface finishes can be formed. The nature of intermetallic compounds formed during hot-tinning changes during use because of solid state diffusion of copper, or due to application of heat at temperatures above the melting point of tin. To identify their presence, a clear understanding of tinning microstructures must be combined with knowledge of their forms relative to corrosion structures developed from general corrosion of the underlying bronze. This study reports on the examination and identification of the intermetallic phases associated with tinning. Reported experimental work is designed to examine aspects of the formation and detection of intermetallic compounds that can be used to discuss the challenges associated with definitive identification of tinning on low-tin bronzes.

Abstract: Higher education should develop the core blueprint for the critical and reflective thinking that conservation professionals will employ and further develop during the remainder of their career. This paper defines and discusses reflective practice in conservation education using examples drawn from teaching and assessment methods in place at Cardiff University. Feedback reveals the challenges that students face in developing reflective thinking and the difficulty of offering evidence for this. The complex role of tutors in developing reflective thinking is identified. Reflective learning can significantly contribute to developing reflective and critical conservation practitioners.

History of Mechanism and Machine Science Series No 6. Springer Science Publications, pp: 167-180. ISBN: 978-1-4020-8783-7 (Hard Cover). Link
Abstract: Homer's Iliad contains the earliest account of Greek armour technology, with heroes such as Hector reported as wearing helmets that are flashing and shiny. Corrosion of helmets during their burial limits understanding of their original appearance in antiquity. Evidence of their original appearance is based mainly on interpretation of ancient literature and numerous artistic representations of helmeted warriors on pottery. Shields decorated with enamel, gold and tin are described in the Iliad and this supports the hypothesis that such surface treatment technology could have been used on helmets. Fragments from two archaic period helmets were analysed using SEM/EDX. One of the helmets was tin-plated. This and a similarly dated helmet in the British Museum are of the earliest recorded examples of tinning in the Mediterranean. This raises questions about the original appearance of Greek helmets, visibility of individuals on the battlefield and their status. A large scale investigation of Greek helmets is underway to address these points and examine the possibility that tinning in armour may go back to Homeric times.

Abstract: The commitment to increasing access to collections has resulted in concepts such as 'acceptable' rates of damage. This new pragmatism has yet to be developed into a consistent approach to access for analysis. This paper uses a case study of the scientific examination of early Greek copper alloy helmets to illustrate a range of problems encountered by researchers. In the context of the case study it considers national and political criteria, the policies and procedures of museums and professional ethical codes. The paper also considers additional barriers that can be encountered by younger researchers, who may be considered less credible than their more established colleagues, and discusses strategies that they can use to increase the likelihood of gaining access to samples.

Abstract: Difficulties met when requesting invasive sampling of museum objects are described and strategies for successful applications are offered. The paper focuses on experiences during sample collection for a project to analyse early Greek copper alloy helmets. This project will examine in a later stage, helmet compositions and surface coatings then link this to original appearance and manufacturing technologies.
Tite M.S., Manti P. and Shortland A.J. (2007). A technological study of ancient faience from Egypt. Journal of Archaeological Science Volume 34, Issue 10, pp: 1568-1583. Link to pdf
Abstract: The chemical compositions and microstructures of some 35 faience objects from Egypt spanning the period from the Middle Kingdom through to the 22nd dynasty are determined using analytical scanning electron microscopy. Replicate faience beads glazed in the laboratory using the efflorescence and cementation methods are similarly investigated. In efflorescence glazing, there appears to be preferential efflorescence of soda over potash, and in cementation glazing, preferential take up of potash over soda into the glaze. These data are then used to try to infer the raw materials and methods of glazing employed in the production of the ancient faience. The glaze/glass phases present in the faience differ significantly in composition from that of New Kingdom glass. This could be due either to the use of different plant ashes or to changes in the composition of the plant ashes during the production of faience and/or glass. Although it is only rarely possible to determine with certainty whether ancient faience was glazed by efflorescence, cementation or application, the observed microstructures provide an indication of the approach adopted to achieve desired performance characteristics such as strength.

Abstract: This paper outlines the discovery of a hoard of votive bronzes from the Sacred Animal Necropolis at North Saqqara, and gives the background to the original work at the site by Professor W.B. Emery. This collection of material gives an interesting insight into the range of objects offered at the shrines of the Sacred Animal Necropolis, and gives us a glimpse of just how popular these cults were. Also, the methods used in the conservation of these bronzes are presented.


text: The fifth season of the ms.-adventures of the "bisexual and sapphically inclined ladies and their friends," as Alice (Leisha Hailey) states, once again finds them engaged in all sorts of shenanigans. In the season's ongoing story line, Jenny (Mia Kirshner) finagles a chance to direct the movie of her book and hires an assistant (Malaya Rivera Drew) whose intentions are suspect. Jenny's friends express disappointment in the actresses portraying them in the film adaptation of her roman à clef, but she already has her hands full with the problematic star (Kate French). Shane (Katherine Moennig) is involved in copious sexcapades and continues to utilize her uncanny ability to seduce any woman in the lesbian universe. Only this time, her roving libido puts a crimp in her relationship with the beautiful Paige (Kristanna Loken). Elsewhere, Max (Daniela Sea) begins a relationship with the interpreter for Jodi (Marlee Matlin); workaholic Bette (Jennifer Beals) winds up in the arms of a former lover; and dating woes plague the extremely picky Tina (Laurel Holloman), but her luck appears to change when she spends an enchanted evening with a stunner she met online. The reason why Tasha (Rose Rollins) didn't go to Iraq is revealed as she gets slapped with a discharge for homosexual conduct and saddled with a homophobic military lawyer. Club owner Kit (Pam Grier) faces several business challenges, including new competition in Shebar, "L.A.'s first superhot girls only club." And it's not long before Kit and her posse find themselves in a catfight with the cutthroat lesbians (Elizabeth Keener, Alicia Leigh Willis) who own Shebar. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi

I thought that might be the case, but I've heard of software (Cisco trunking I think) that can create a virtual IP for a NIC that doesn't exist, and when something is sent to it, the software splits it to the two NICs and reassembles it there. I think you have to make sure nothing goes to the original IPs though.

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon Well, Garion is a king, and with both his parents being killed, Polgara being his mother (more or less), and then being suddenly transformed from farmboy to ridiculously powerful sorcerer-king, with a totally bitchy (not bitchin') wife... I would be surprised if there was not something just a little tiny bit oedipal about his psyche. I did see a little of this, in hindsight, but make nothing of it. And the phrase "capture his eyes" is obviously an expression in another language, the nature of which I would love to learn. |

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon Yes, you all are right English is not my native language, but I was referring to a book "Demon Lord of Karanda" where Garion is overwhelm with Polgara beauty, and also she is asking him how is his physical relation with his wife. She is his aunt why she care about that. As for Polgara beauty, Garion should be used to of the way she looks. When I was reading that it occurred to me, maybe there is a subtext( and not nice one). |

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon I don't think there is a subtext. Polgara is a meddler in the extreme, and the tension in Garion's marriage is obvious. She is merely trying to fix it. As for Garion being overwhelmed by auntie's beauty, well, she really is not his aunt, is she? She is, what, 4000 years older than he is? And there have been countless generations of Rivan kings since the death of Beldaran, Garion's ultimate great-grandmother and Polgara's sister. There is so much DNA between Garion and Polgara that there certainly is no such thing as "prohibited degrees of consanguinity" between them. However, I think that Garion was just noting on an objective standard that Polgara was beautiful in a magestic kind of way. 'course, I could be wrong, and Garion might have some really nasty urges going on. eew. |

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon I rather think after 2000 years (was it?) they would want to make sure that Garion get's the mojo and produces an heir before he goes on one mad dangerous adventure to many. |

Thats because Eddings only spent about half a page anytime Garion looked at his aunt, to throw in how perfect, beautiful, and regal Polgara looked. Garion never had anything resembling an Oedipus Complex regarding her, and even Pol questioning him about, and tossing suggestions about his sex life with Ce'Nedra shocked and embarrassed him. not the response of someone..... with a romantic notion...... I think says it maturely enough. | |

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon I know it's rude, but this thread nearly made me burst from holding my laughter in (I'm in school now). I could literally envision your looks of discomfort while reading this. David Eddings was probably just emphasizing how perfect Polgara looked - possibly to endear her to readers, seeing as how bossy she can be at times - through Garion. Garion's characterised as an objective and observant boy, so he serves as our seeing eye guide through his adventures in the Belgariad and the Mallorean. I highly doubt there's anything to his admiration of Polgara's beauty. Even her father remarks about her beauty quite frequently in his book and the two series...no...no, don't even think about it. I remember telling my brother several days ago how Zandramas was designed to be the anti-thesis of Polgara by David and Leigh Eddings. He then calmly replied that that suggests a parallel in the relationship between her and Geran, and Polgara and Garion. Obviously, Zandramas, the caretaker of baby Geran, chose to regard the latter as her husband. Polgara on the other hand, the caretaker of baby Garion, chose to be the latter's guardian and mother. My brother then concluded that in a twisted way, it might have been hinted that Polgara's and Garion's relationship could have turned out quite differently. This is probably going to gross a lot of you out, but Garion did propose to Polgara when he was just a little boy. You may argue and say that he was just a little boy spouting rubbish, and I would completely agree with you, but it still happened...and that's open to interpretation. I was apalled by this, but it does make sense...in a twisted sort of way. Still, I'm going to just forget it and pretend that it never happened. Ha ha. |

| Re: Wired vibe between Polgara and Garion in Malloreon Garion grew up with a mixed bag of adults who would advise him and teach him how to get along. Durnik acted basically as his father figure, but Durnik was both a bachelor and a Sendar... as such Durnik would have been too prudish to tutor Garion in the dynamics of an adult interpersonal relationship. And having Durnik for a role model, Garion turns out to be extremely prudish...he would probally be a great deal worse if it wasn't for Relg's example of how not to go on... But Garion has needed to be cozened out of his prudish behavior at times when it becomes a necessity. Ce'Nedra usually has this wrapped up but remember, she was just getting over another funk. Polgara knew that it was Garion who would have the clearest bead upon Ce'Nedra's normal pattern of behavior at that point; but Garion with his tendency to be overly nice and proper at times could actually create such a distance between himself and his wife that he wouldn't realize something was affecting her, until disaster struck. Garion at that point was making Ce'Nedra feel undesirable physically by his neglect and squeamishness... this is actually very usuall a pattern that young married couples experience after the birth of a child... the husband no longer sees his wife in the role of romantic partner but instead as an untouchable mother figure. Usually a primary care physician would have a little chat with the couple either separately or together and encourage them to be together. As Polgara was Garion and Ce'Nedra's ersatz primary medical care adviser, it was indeed her role to both inquire and advise. I really thought this was another of David Eddings little life lessons that he has sprinkled through-out the series. as for the ideaof there being another path available to Garion and Polgara... we'll never know now... |

Kathy Jo Pollock with the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest said the next couple of days might be a challenge.
"The fuels have dried out and there is going to be a lot of people on public lands," she said.
Recreationists celebrating Pioneer Day cause concern over campfires getting out of control and with the holiday, comes the fireworks.
Governor Gary Herbert tweeted out a message asking people to be cautious when popping fireworks around the state because of the tinder dry conditions.
Predictive Service Meteorologist Shelby Law said on average human caused fires versus natural fires are split at about 50 percent in Utah.
She acknowledged the people who are being proactive and doing their part to prevent fires.
Still, it is a never-ending battle. Since Monday a handful of small fires popped up near highways because of a flicked cigarette butt.
"Cigarette butts can cause a fire because the grass and fine fuels are really dry and anything can ignite or start something," Pollock said.
State officials said Utahns can douse the danger with a little common sense.
"We just ask that people are extremely careful out there with what they're doing," she added.
Tips to remember:
Make sure campfires are put out completely and are cold to the touch.
If you use an ATV stay on designated trails
Keep a shovel with you if you go target shooting
Do not pop fireworks on public lands

Dr. Pete
Dear Dr. Pete: Which is the best scale to use in a survey? -Do Remi Dear Do: This is tricky because there are a lot of scales, and they each have pros and cons. You may be surprised to know that scales actually were invented by real people with real thought behind them. Let's start with one of the most common. The Likert Scale is named after Rinsus Likert, who invented this scale for his university thesis in 1932. The scale is bi-directional and usually has 5 points on it with a neutral position in the middle. Typical Likert scales are "Agree Strongly, Agree Slightly, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Disagree Slightly, and Disagree Strongly." Likert scales can have 7 or 9 points or can force choices with 4, 6, or 8 points (the neutral point having been removed). Although it is common to assign numeric values to the points on the scale, this should not be done. One cannot assume respondents perceive the difference between adjacent levels as equidistant. The beauty of a Likert Scale is that it gives both a strength and direction to a given attitude measurement. The Guttmann Scale was invented by Louis Guttmann in 1944. This scale measures unidimensionality – there is a single trait underlying the scale and the respondent chooses the highest one that applies. It is assumed that all those below apply and all those above do not apply. These types of scales are extremely difficult to write well. Consider the statement: "I think immigration should be reduced." This would not be chosen by people who are in favor of open immigration or by those who favor no immigration at all. However, the following Guttmann Scale does work:
Agreement with option 3 would imply agreement with options 1 and 2. The Thurstone Scale was developed in 1928 by Louis Leon Thurstone. This scale measures attitudes along a single dimension by asking respondents to indicate whether they agree or disagree with each of a large set of statements (e.g., 100). The statements are designed to be parallel in construction, with some toward one end of the scale and some toward the other end, each trying to indicate the attitude in a slightly different way. In addition to developing the statements, they must be validated. For instance, expert judges (or pre-testing subjects) would rate each of the statements on how they reflect the extremes of the attitude being measured. Thurstone scales are hard work! Charles Egerton Osgood invented the Semantic Differential Scale. This has opposites (e.g., fair/unfair and bitter/sweet) at the ends of the scale and respondents place themselves somewhere on the scale. The scale might also consist of words (e.g., excellent, good, adequate, poor, and inadequate). Of course, we can't forget the classic rating scale 1 – X, always anchored with words. (This one doesn't seem to have an inventor.) You might think you can manipulate the results of such scales mathematically, producing averages, etc. However, while these are ordinal scales, there is nothing to say that the attitudinal "distance" is the same between 1 and 2 as it is between 9 and 10. This doesn't stop researchers from doing exactly that but, hey-ho. Oh, to answer your question, I don't know; no one does. It really depends on your study objectives and which scale you prefer. Cheers! -Dr. Pete

Spring is just around the corner. What's your favorite, or least favorite, thing that comes with the season?
March 1, 2012
Jeri Cochran (director, Bonner Springs Head Start in ) says...
"Spring is my favorite season. I enjoy seeing the sun again, the anticipation of warm days and everything coming back to life."
Amy Schaffer (teen services librarian, Basehor Community Library in ) says...
"I love the smell of spring air and the storms that come with it. Curling up with a good murder mystery during a thunderstorm is the best!"
Grant Moyer (BLHS senior in ) says...
"The worst thing, I would say, is that the start of allergy season is really bad for me. But I do like the warm weather."

Take a perfectly delicious California Cobb salad and kick it in the pants. Oh yeah. Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese and jalapeño bacon fire up this classic meal of a salad, making it mouthwateringly better than the original.
"We love to feature cheese in our salads at simplethings. One of our most popular salads is our Classic California Cobb. We've updated our version by adding some spice with Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese and jalapeno bacon." – Andy Paxson of simplethings
10 oz package mixed organic greens
½ cup (4 oz) balsamic vinaigrette
½ lb (4 oz) prepared oven roasted turkey, shredded
8 grape tomatoes
4 slices jalapeno or regular bacon (we like Coastal Caliente brand), cooked and chopped
1 avocado, diced
½ cup (2 oz) Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese, diced
2 soft boiled eggs
Place mixed greens in a large bowl. Add the balsamic vinaigrette and toss until completely coated. Place equal amounts of salad on two large plates. Atop each mound of greens, place the turkey, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, and cheese. Divide all ingredients equally per salad. Slice the eggs in half and place 2 halves on each plate.

It's what is on the inside
Greg Wallace, you missed the point. Brent Musburger's comment on the beauty of the quarterback's girlfriend was not in itself offensive. After all, she is a very beautiful young woman. The offensive part came when he continued saying quarterbacks get the beautiful girls, and if boys wanted to date beautiful girls, they better start throwing footballs in their backyards. It was this comment that was offensive.
In effect, what Musburger said was that boys have to be football players to date beautiful girls, and girls have to be beautiful to date football players. It is this philosophy that has led girls wanting to be thin and beautiful to extremes. Girls have suffered through anorexia and bulimia to become thin. Many girls have suffered with other psychological illnesses due to low self-esteem and poor self image.
Society has been trying to combat these illnesses for years. We have been trying to teach girls they don't have to be beautiful to succeed in life. What counts is what is on the inside — not the outside.

Romney talks faith, pranks in interview
Candidate talks with Christian television show
He'll pass on "pastor in chief," but Mitt Romney may just fit a different bill: Prankster in chief.
The GOP presidential contender talked about his faith and penchant for pranks in a Saturday television interview conducted after his commencement address at an evangelical university.
Romney, who is Mormon, did not address his own faith in the speech, but sought to draw connections between his beliefs and those held by Liberty University, which calls itself the largest evangelical Christian university in the world.
Echoing remarks of Liberty's chancellor, Jerry Falwell Jr., Romney told the Christian Broadcasting Network that the presidential selection process involves "finding people who share our values and our views, and work for a person who can become our commander in chief, but perhaps not our pastor in chief."
Asked to identify "one of the biggest misconceptions about your Mormon faith," Romney instead kept very close to the remarks he delivered to the 6,000 graduates at the Virginia university.
"I know that there are very significant differences in creeds and theologies between religions, and certainly between my faith and the faith of people here at Liberty University," Romney said. "And yet, we find common ground, and common purpose in service, in values that we share."
The address came after a Thursday report that he and others had teased, taunted, or even bullied a peer -- with possible homophobic undertones -- at the all-boys prep school he attended in the 1960s. Romney said he did not remember the incidents described in a Washington Post report and apologized if anyone had been hurt if the incident had taken place.
Earlier this month, his wife, Ann, described a "wild and crazy man" inside of her husband, who is sometimes described as stiff.
In the Saturday interview, Romney described one such prank he pulled on a state trooper who had short-sheeted the then-Massachusetts governor's hotel room bed.
"And the next morning when I came down to breakfast, he of course had a big smile, because he was going to see how I reacted," Romney said. "I pretended not to notice."
The candidate describes having a letter typed on hotel stationery, "saying we are so sorry that your bed was improperly made, Mr. Romney, and we have fired the maid who did it."
A staffer showed the letter to the trooper, Romney said, whose boss insisted the trooper call the hotel to explain the maid's innocence.
"He got on the phone all red-faced, and then finally, of course when the manager had no idea what he was talking about, he realized the joke was on him," Romney recounted. "So, we play tricks even with the people I work with."
Excerpts of the interview were posted online Saturday evening. Other clips show Romney reiterating his support for "traditional marriage" and "the sanctity of life," as well as describing a time when he and one of his sons on jet skis ferried to shore a family whose boat had capsized near his lake house.

Testie and speedoh have very similar playstyles, but testie is more consistant due to speedoh's lack of practice lately, but testie basically does the right thing all the time, farms on down time, and participates in most ganks and teamfights, and imo is one of the top players, unfortunately without a comp team to play with.

Stock Market Math Report
Article posted May 25, 2011 at 02:41 PM GMT • comment • Reads 1407
Stock Market Report
For the past couple of months, the seventh grade has been working with stocks. Each student picked three stocks of their choice, and monitored and kept track of how they have been doing.
I chose Apple inc., Randgold Resources , and GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID for my companies because they all seemed like trustworthy stable companies that could possibly make a lot of money for me. I chose Apple inc. because it has a good reputation, it is always coming out with new jaw dropping technologies, and is overall a top selling company that never fails. The second company I chose was Randgold Resources. I chose this company because it sells gold, and gold is usually high-selling and worth a lot of money. The third and final company that I chose was GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID. The reason why I chose this company was because when I checked the sales chart, it was going up at a steady pace.
Even though all of my companies sounded good, I still would change some things. The first thing that I would change would be that I should have bought more shares in GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID. Go INDUSTRY DOVE BID made a lot of money as it climbed the charts. The second thing I would have to change would be to buy more shares in Apple Inc. because it was a good money maker and never had any dips in the rankings. The third thing I would have to change would be to buy less stocks of Randgold Resources, it didn't really make as much money as I was hoping it would and to go with that statement, the prices lowered/dropped.
The advice that I would give to other people who are interested in investing in stock would be to always read the stock's summary. You should always make sure that you know your business. Make sure it is not a scam and understand what it is selling before you buy. You want to know what your stocks are about so you know what you're investing in. Secondly, you always want to make sure that you are checking up on your stocks daily to see how they are doing. And thirdly, make sure your company makes good money and is not a loser.
From all of this I can conclude that the seventh grade has learned much about the stock market and I, personally, am intrigued with this business of money. I am also glad that I had this opportunity to see a little but of how my nation runs.

This flag is made for Antarctica. I drew a sun, since it is the sunniest place in the world. I also drew a star because it can be nightime for a long time there. I also drew a snowman saying "brrr," since it the coldest place in the world. I left the backround white to show that Antarctica has snow and ice basically covering all of it.

The eye has many parts to it that make it function right and without any of them we would not be able to see right or even see at all. Some parts of the eye are the the iris which is a muscle that makes the pupil bigger to let more light into the eye and make it smaller to let not as much light in.
The clear jelly that gives the shape of your eyeball is called the vitreous humorous, it needs to be clear because if it was not then you would be blind because the light that the pupil would let in would not get through to the retina.

Once the astronauts lift off of Earth, they are on their own. They have to maintain the shuttle and do regular things like eating in space, working in space, and overall living in space. To do these things you would think that it would be easy but with new challenges like weightlessness, you would be surprised by what they have to do to do normal stuff.
The astronauts have to do chores such as cooking, cleaning, and even taking the trash out. They live in one very, tiny spot and that spot is for sleeping, eating, exercising, working, and taking good care of their personal hygiene. When they sleep they have to be strapped into basically a sleeping bag. They sleep that way so they will not float around and bump anything that might cause malfunction in the shuttle. That would not be good......... at all.
all the members of flight STS 133 they each have one pair of shorts, one t-shirt for excersing, one pair of running shoes, one pair of work pants and a work t-shirt. Each of the seven members were that and that only, they have to make those clothes last for ten days. During launch and entry the crew wears helmets, communications caps, pressure garment, anti-exposure, anti-gravity suit, gloves, and boots. Crew clothes are made for typically men, but sometimes women. It is made for about 95% of men and 5% for women.
In the space shuttle they have an oven to heat their foods such as macaroni, but for other foods like brownies or fruit they do not have to prepare it. The astronaut food used to be in bags and not very tasty but now they can cook things and have better and more fulfilling meals. There are no refeirigerators in the shuttle so they have to make sure nothing they bring will spoil fast. Astronauts have to eat three meals a day because the nutrisionists have to make sure the astronauts are always well and fully energized. Astronauts can choose from fruits, nuts, peanut butter, chicken, beef, seafood, candy, brownies, coffee, tea, orange juice, fruit punches and lemonade. Astronauts can only have certaqin amount of calorie intake per day though. A small woman would have to take 1,900 calories a day while a large man would have to take in 3,200 calories a day.
When you are in space you still have the same hygiene needs as you would on Earth, the astronauts still have to take showers, brush their teeth,brush their hair, shave, and go to the bathroom. When they take showers they use rinsless soaps because they cannot use water sinse it would just float around. Each of the astronauts have their own hygiene box with their tooth brush, hair comb, and their rinseless shampoo, which was originally invented for hospital patients who could not move. To go to the bathroom the astronauts have to sit on the toilet and strap their legs and thieghs in leg restraints so they won;t float around. The toilet acts like a vacuum and sucks all the bad gross stuff away into a water waste tank.
LA Poem #1

Whenever I get off of the chairlift, I get a knot of fear in my stomach that I am going to fall off of the lift and plunge into the freezing deathbed.
But as soon as I lift my skis, I glide on the powdered snow.
It is a sunny day and it makes the snow glitter like crystals.
As early spring comes so do the birds.
A little bluejay chirps and makes the trees shake.
A slow but steady shard of snow gracefully falls,
I dodge and swiftly make my way to the other side of the lonesome trail.
I swerve from left to right with no noise but the sound of my shifting skis.
As I gaze at the winter mural,
I notice that the blue of the sky enhances the the purple-gray mountains,
and the tips of spruce trees bunch up to make patches of green blobs.
The brisk air caresses my exposed face,
and gently cools me from the heat of the lodge.
As I reach the end I pull my skis together close and speed up to finish the adventure.
Math Letter Module 1

My class just finished module 1 in our textbooks. Since it was the beginning of the year it was basically easy stuff and reviews but we still learned. Now that we are done with module 1 we can start to learn more advanced math. In module 1 there were six sections. Section 1 was about data displays, section 2 was about sequences and exponents, and in section 3 we learned about probability. Section 4 was about problem solving and section 5 and 6 were about problem solving and order of operations.
In section 1 we learned about tallying data, and bar and line graphs. When you tally data you are supposed to gather the data you want and tally how many times it comes up. A bar graph is a graph that is used to display data that falls into distinct categories. A line graph is graph that shows how data changes over time. That is what we learned in section 1 in module 1.
In section 2 we learned about modeling sequences and exponents, squares, and cubes. A sequence is an ordered list of numbers or objects called terms. We learned about term numbers and symbols also. Exponents show a pattern of repeated multiplication. Exponents make it simpler to write out as well. Instead of writing out 22.214.171.124 you could just write 34 or three to the fourth power.
In section 3 we were taught about probability and theoretical probability. Probability is experiments that predict the outcome of an event. Probability is also a number from 0 to 1 that tells you how likely something will happen.
Section 4 was about problem solving. The textbook gave us four steps to problem solving. Step 1: understand the problem. Step 2: Make a Plan. Step 3: Carry out the plan. Step 4: look back, or check out work. Those were all very helpful to me, especially when I got stuck on a difficult math equation. This was definitely an important chapter to me.
Section 5 in the textbook taught the class about evaluating solutions and making connections. Section 6 was about the order of operations. The order of operations helps when you do long mathematical equations. It lets you break down long equations into sections to make it smaller and easier to figure out since it is better laid out.
Since we started school that is what we have been learning for the first trimester.

What it means to be a patriot
The Patriot Newspaper is pleased to publish the first in a series of guest essays called the Purple Patriot Project. The Project encourages citizens to participate, to engage in conversation, and to find solutions.
by Christine Anderson
Our president is taking his second term message on the road.
In A People's History of the United States, activist and historian Howard Zinn wrote about the courage and convictions of average people that changed our country's story.
Our president and this election have done that in many ways.
But if we want to be patriots, it's time we evaluate our allegiances and ask Congress to do the same.
What does he need from us?
If you voted in the presidential election, you might think, as I did, that "my job is done." We've been in the trenches of this recession: the loss of equity in our homes, joblessness, and the repayment of student loans –you know the list.
But after the Inaugural Address and the State of the Union speech, did you get the feeling that you were asked to contribute something more? maybe get some work done? make things better?
When John F. Kennedy asked what we could do for our country and beyond (Peace Corps)—or when military drafts have been answered, or a volunteer Army fulfilled, people of all ages met those challenges. I believe we are also asked to respond now with greater citizenship: to be more engaged and informed—and to think and express ourselves better. Just as we need to educate ourselves through schooling and training for better jobs—maybe we also need to attend boot camp to become more than simply voters.
We can't individually solve our country's thorny issues. But we can take responsibility for what we think—and how we say it—to become citizens who will be heard. Discussion that can go the distance requires educated foot soldiers who can tell our representatives in Washington what we expect from them: less sniping and more willing debate. And results.
Sound like a lot of work? Maybe. But it could be a whole lot of fun. And the Internet allows all of us to become better informed, depending on how we use it.
First. Take your own patriotic pulse: Ask yourself: Am I an individual first and a citizen second? Am I conservative, liberal, in between? Do I regard self-reliance, community, or both as my core values? In school, what teacher inspired me? In what was I encouraged by a relative or friend? You might start right there. What did they teach you? What matters most? Make the list.
Tune in:
Sit quietly with these questions: What are my passions, and what are my biases? If I could support or create something, what would it be? Jobs? A push for tax reform? A small business or non-profit? If I own a gun or guns, can I give up my position on gun control in favor of discussion about gun safety? Will I use those words?
Tune out. Try a media fast. Reduce the frenzy of too much information. Re-introduce clarity. Watch news that discusses issues fully. Seek opinions and their opposites. Avoid sensationalized reporting. Search for the most trusted reporting on the web.
Talk nice. Your senators and reps are inundated too with news and Twitter feeds, emails and spam 24 hours a day. My suggestion? Don't rant. Being polite however, they and their staff suggest the following: Email or write your concerns and sign your name. If you do forward something, however, carefully consider its source so that it is representing your true position and add your ID/identifier. And most important, if you send letters which require answers, be sure you are writing to the person who actually represents you.
Put your boots on.
Get educated about today's issues. Join us in the conversation. Suggest solutions. Become engaged. Because to be better citizens—and new patriots—we need to kick things up a notch.

Democratic Congressman Bill Owens appears to hold a large lead against Republican Challenger Matt Doheny in the brand new New York 21st Congressional District. But Siena College, which conducted the poll, says it's not over. Our Brian Dwyer breaks down the poll and has reaction from both candidates in the North Country's biggest race this season.
NEW YORK STATE -- Breaking it down, Bill Owens has double digit leads in favorability, he gets more support within his own party and voters seem to be more interested in Democratic policies on education, health care, Afghanistan, taxes and the most important issue to voters, creating jobs.
"This is a district that's enrolled Republican, but in terms of their political leanings, it's moderate and maybe tilting democratic," Steven Greenberg of the Siena Research Institute said.
The overall numbers show it. Owens leads 49 to 36, 13 points over Republican Challenger Matt Doheny. The numbers are despite district polling in the presidential race that shows President Obama with just a five point lead.
"All politics are local. What we see here is there are a number of voters who are voting for Mitt Romney and Bill Owens," Greenberg added.
That's not good news for the challenger. Doheny, though, doesn't seem terribly concerned, saying Owens didn't get 50 percent, despite the fact voters were interviewed at the same time as the Democratic Convention.
And in a release, added: "It's laughable to think three nights of wall-to-wall television coverage didn't have a bearing on these numbers."
But Greenberg says he's not buying it, the Republican Convention had literally just ended and was very fresh in voter's minds.
"Campaigns say what they have to say when a poll comes out that they don't like. That's certainly understandable," he said.
"I didn't pay much attention to either the Democratic or the Republican Convention because my focus has been on the 240,000 new people I need to interact with and allow them to get to know me," Congressman Bill Owens added.
That's the one spot Owens is hurting. The new part of the district, the Capital Region near Albany, actually favors Doheny by four points. Overall, there's still eight percent undecided. He knows there's plenty of work left.
"I think that my view of being as non-partisan as I possibly can be, having a view that is Main Street focused is the kind of thing that will attract them to me," Owens added.
Work Doheny pledges as well, needing to make up a lot of ground in the old part of the district. He points out a Siena poll two years ago showing Chris Gibson down 17 points at this time. Gibson won by nine.
"I'm still committed to being the hardest working candidate, going out and meeting voters and telling them about my plan to get Washington working for us again," Doheny said.
There's also Green Party Candidate Donald Hassig. He's not expected to be a big factor in the race, but did poll at six percent. Greenberg says Doheny needs to find a way to bring back the republican base and appeal to independents, which could be tough considering the two are kind of in conflict of one another.

Bharti Airtel, Reliance communications and Idea Cellular surged on Wednesday after the Finance Ministry and Reserve Bank of India decided that telecom spectrum be treated as 'tangible security. This came as major boost and relief for telecom firms.
The move which will provides greater security to lenders and clear the air of uncertainty to some extent in the wake of the cancellation of spectrum licences, has come at a time when there is near freeze of bank funding.
Reliance Communications traded 3.9 per cent higher at Rs 69.45, Bharti Airtel gained 1.26 per cent at Rs 312.60, and Ideal Cellular rose 1 per cent to Rs 18.90. In contrast, the broader BSE Sensex traded flat at 16,867 at 10.17 a.m.
The Finance Ministry wants to secure lenders through the incorporation of "a suitable clause in the draft Tripartite Agreement (for assignment of licence) among the Licensor, Licensee and Lender to provide for termination payment to lenders of an amount equivalent to lower of the licence fee mobilised, or secured loan outstanding, in the event of termination of licence allotted to an operator.
