Time and Navigation: The Untold Story of Getting from Here to There
Permanent Exhibit
Time and Navigation, Gallery 213, 2nd Floor, East Wing
If you want to know where you are, you need an accurate clock. This surprising connection between time and space has been crucial for centuries. About 250 years ago, sailors first used accurate clocks to navigate the oceans. Today we locate ourselves on the globe with synchronized clocks in orbiting satellites. Among the many challenges facing navigation from then to now, one stands out: keeping accurate time. Featuring 144 objects, this exhibition explores how revolutions in timekeeping over three centuries have influenced how we find our way. The exhibition is organized into the following five sections:
- Navigating at Sea is an immersive environment that suggests a walk through a 19th-century sailing vessel.
- Navigating in the Air relates how air navigators struggled with greater speeds, worse weather, and more cramped conditions than their sea-going predecessors.
- Navigating in Space traces how teams of talented engineers invented the new science of space navigation using star sightings, precise timing, and radio communications.
- Inventing Satellite Navigation describes how traveling in space inspired plans to navigate from space.
- Navigation for Everyone tells the stories of real people—a fireman, a farmer, and a student—who use modern navigation technology in their everyday lives and addresses what might come next.
Presented in collaboration with the National Museum of American History.

Red Sox Pitchers Throw Perfect Game
The Associated Press
Tuesday, March 14, 2000; 3:29 p.m. EST
FORT MYERS, Fla. Pedro Martinez and five relievers combined on a spring training perfect game Tuesday as the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0.
Martinez struck out six in three innings. He was followed by Fernando De La Cruz, Dan Smith, Rheal Cormier, Rich Garces and Rod Beck.
Nomar Garciaparra homered and drove in four runs for the Red Sox.
Elias Sports Bureau, the official statistician for major league baseball, does not keep records of spring training perfect games.
The accomplishment prompted little of the mound celebration that would have greeted a regular-season gem. Catcher Joe Sidall pumped his fist and ran out to congratulate Beck when he struck out Alberto Castillo to end the game.
Although many fans filed out in the late innings, those who remained stood and cheered for the last few outs.

Hurri Cosmo
larger image
Rhys has spent his entire life in underground Winderport. He knew there was a whole other world above his "sky" but he wasn't interested--until the day he chased a killer to that mystical upper world and saw Kullian, all six foot something of perfection. So what if the man was a notorious and powerful Fey Baron? Rhys wasn't a typical law abiding citizen himself. The very fact the man was dangerous made him that much more attractive and had Rhys wanting things he'd never even considered before.
But an injury causes Rhys to lose his memory and his only clues to his identity are his gun and a camera with pictures of Kullian's silver eyes looking right into the lens. However, Rhys does have one memory--he was after a murderer and somehow Kullian is involved. It's a race against time because Rhys needs to find his memory and this mysterious killer before it's too late. Could it be he might just find love as well?
Show Excerpt
Rhys should have immediately recognized the man who had his hands wrapped tight around Joey's neck, but as he came around the corner at a dead run, he was still so damn far away. He knew Joey had come this way; he was trailing behind him just to make sure he was safe. But he'd allowed for too much distance between them.
Because he just heard him scream.
Joey's limp body dropped to the ground as the man looked up at Rhys with evil eyes and an even more sinister smile. But there was insanity in those eyes as well. The fucker had said something to Joey, too, he heard it. Something like 'Where is it, you son of a bitch?'
The man stepped back and kicked the sickeningly still form on the sidewalk and dashed away, his fat ass swinging back and forth.
Rhys pulled his weapon from its holster under his arm. It was a rapid fire Cyro-silgil, and simply an extension of his hand, another perfectly functioning body part. When he pulled it out of the holster in that very fluid motion that was as much a part of him as breathing, he knew he didn't even have to look at his quarry as he squeezed the trigger, choosing instead to start his descent to Joey, finally arriving by his side.
Yet another mistake.
Because as luck would have it, and luck was not kind that day, as the slug left Rhys's weapon, the running bastard slipped. The shot only grazed his right arm. Even though it had to have been a very ugly, deep graze, it was not the direct hit to the heart Rhys had planned--and all because he'd taken his eyes off his target at the last split second. Rhys dropped his weapon arm anyway, choosing not to take the second shot, as the need to kill the bastard was replaced by the horror that lay before him on the sidewalk.
Joey was dead.
Oh fuck. No breath, no pulse, fixed pupils, eyes open but clearly unseeing. Rhys's stomach turned as he realized the fucker hadn't just strangled Joey, but crushed his throat.
"Joey!" He screamed at the unmoving body. "Joey! Damn you! Don't you die! Don't be dead! Please...." He tried to breathe life back into him, opened Joey's mouth and blew. He then tried to pound on his chest to get his heart going again but it was no use. Joey was dead. Rhys buried his face in the rumpled shirt as his tears fell. Why the fuck had he sent him off alone? It was those innocent eyes of his! Why had he looked into those eyes that pleaded and begged to do something important, something that would make him feel like he was a true member of the gang? Rhys could've picked something else, like going on one of their many security rounds. At least then he would have been with one of the other boys. No, he had been too stupid and arrogant in thinking he could send Joey off on a scouting mission and he would just follow.
My fault! My fucking fault I sent him to his death. I sent him out and away from safety and I fucking knew better. Why...? And now Joey was dead.
Poor, poor Joey.
He holstered his gun, took out his cell, and pressed the number two for Teneff. He had to tell someone where Joey was so he could chase that fat bastard Joey called a father. "Teneff! Where the fuck are you now? Answer your cell!" But he didn't. All Rhys could do was leave a fast message leading him back here to where Joey lay, and report that he would go after the murdering fucker.
Where Joey lay...
Rhys jumped up and backed away much like that bastard, Balmor, had. He wiped his tears away, still not quite understanding he was crying, and as much as he hated to leave Joey all alone, he had to get the fucker who did this. If he didn't leave now, even with how slowly Balmor waddled off, he could still lose him. At least there was a blood trail. There should have been a fucking dead man and if Rhys had his way, there would be soon. "Sorry, Joey..." he whispered then turned and ran in the direction Balmor had gone. As he ran, he turned his phone off. No distractions while he was tracking. He wouldn't answer it anyway. Not until he had the guy.
But unfortunately he had to slow down. The tunnel became darker now, away from the lights on the platforms. There was an occasional weak yellow lamp blinking on the ceiling but little else to light the way. Even though Rhys was used to the dark, could see like a cat actually, running was no longer an option. Of course his quarry would no longer be running either.
In the half-light, he was still able to follow the blood trail and that was important. Though this tunnel did not have any offshoots yet, it would. More important, in the darkness, against the tunnel walls, he could miss a shadow. The traces of blood, faint and getting fainter, still proved to Rhys the man moved forward. But the fact it was becoming fainter meant he could lose the trail altogether once Balmor hit a split in the tunnel. Had he wrapped the wound? Rhys quickened his pace. He was running out of time.
The drops of blood were fewer and fewer, so Balmor was somehow stopping the bleeding, either by covering the wound or the wound itself was not as bad as Rhys had first thought. But luckily there were other things to consider when following a trail. In this case, there actually was a trail. That meant Balmor didn't have a cutterboard, a thick piece of polyite, which ran off the same naturally occurring energy called hydron that the old trains used to use. Of course, that energy was no longer stable, which was the main reason these tunnels eventually were abandoned. But the fat man didn't have one. He was on foot.
You then considered your quarry. In this case, being it was human, Rhys did have to believe his prey could think intelligently. But usually instinct took over in times of dire need, especially when there was a severe enough, painful enough, wound that needed attending. It wouldn't necessarily mean he would run blindly; he just wouldn't be thinking about hiding. And Balmor wasn't going to get help either because no one in this dark place wanted to become caught up in anyone else's war, even small ones. So Balmor would undoubtedly be thinking speed and escape were his only options and, due to the pain he had to be in, the path of least resistance would be his course.
As Rhys followed, he was rewarded with being right, at least about that. What he had not been right about, of course, was that Balmor would have come back after Joey in the first place. Sure they had talked about it. Joey had said the man he called 'father' wanted something from him.
"Where is it, you son of a bitch?" Rhys's memory of Balmor's last words to Joey rang in his brain.
But none of them really paid much attention to it. Why would they? Joey was safe now, underground, with them. Joey had friends now, protectors.
Yeah right. Protectors my ass.
Joey needed protecting, too. They all knew it. He was a little shy of a full deck but as sweet as fresh air. Everyone loved him right from the start. It had been Rhys who saved him that first time, from the very same man he was chasing now. It had been Rhys who had tended to Joey's wounds, held him close when he cried, convinced him to come back with him to his place, to stay underground. But it had been Rhys's gang Fury that had opened their arms in a hearty welcome, sucking him into the obvious void that none of them even knew existed until Joey was there, filling it masterfully. His bright and innocent fascination, simple ways, and amazing smile charmed them all.

Packers Over/Under Scenarios: Touchdowns, Contracts and Kickers
Forget the over/under odds that Vegas sets for NFL betting. I'm opening a sports book that only accepts bets involving the Green Bay Packers.
Maybe I'll name my joint the Acme Swindling Company. Or Hand-Over-All-Your-Green-and-Gold-to Me Inc. Either way, we're going to have a good time — win lose or draw.
Below are some over/under scenarios involving the 2013 Packers. Let me know which side you'd wager on in the comments section.
(If you want to actually wager on these odds, have your people contact my people. And you better pay up if you lose. I'm going to be a father soon and I don't want to lose valuable time with my son because I'm busting kneecaps and trying to collect from you deadbeats.)
James Jones: 11 touchdowns
It's always difficult to predict touchdowns from year to year. A lot of it depends on opportunity and a little bit of luck. Last season, Calvin Johnson had 2,000 receiving yards but – thanks in large part to getting tackled at the 1-yard line five times – only five touchdowns, . Injuries to Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson gave Jones an opportunity last season. He seized his larger role in the offense and broke out with 14 touchdowns. Jones' size and strength make him a nice target in the red zone, so I'm going to say he exceeds 11 touchdowns. It'd be quite the feat to reach 14 TDs again, but you never know.

GORHAM, NY (AP) -- Police say a 3-year-old boy has died after a personal watercraft he was riding on with his mother hit a concrete break wall on an upstate New York lake.
The craft was being operated by 37-year-old Kerry Pierson on Wednesday afternoon on Canandaigua Lake when it slammed into the wall.
The Ontario County Sheriff's office says it sped up just before it hit the wall. Pierson, of the Rochester suburb of Fairport, and her toddler son Samuel were flown by helicopter to a hospital in Rochester where the boy later died.
Kerry Pierson was still hospitalized in guarded condition Thursday.
The investigation into the crash is continuing.

Workers tend to get the bulk of their income from a single job. In retirement, you're much more likely to have a variety of sources of income, including Social Security, a 401(k) or IRA, and other savings or investments. Here are 10 of the most common ways to pay for retirement:
Social Security. The majority of retirees say they rely on Social Security as a major (57 percent) or minor (27 percent) source of retirement income, according to a recent Gallup poll of 1,016 adults. The importance of Social Security is also growing among people who are still working. The proportion of workers expecting to rely on Social Security as a major source of retirement income has grown from 27 percent in 2007 to 33 percent in 2012.
Retirement accounts. The majority of workers no longer think they can count on a 401(k), IRA, Keogh, or other retirement savings account to fund their retirement years. While more than half (52 percent) of workers said their retirement account would be a major source of retirement income before the recession in 2007, just 46 percent of employees feel that way now. And only about a quarter (24 percent) of retirees count their 401(k) or IRA withdrawals as one of their major income sources.
A pension. Almost half (49 percent) of the retirees surveyed are fortunate enough to receive traditional pension payments. But only 28 percent of workers expect a traditional pension to be a major source of retirement income, down from 31 percent in 2007. "There's a generational change in that older people who are already retired tend to be more likely to have pensions," says Dennis Jacobe, Gallup's chief economist. "Younger people aren't as likely to have pensions. They tend to expect to depend more on things like their 401(k)s and personal accounts."
Part-time work. The majority of workers (71 percent) are hoping a part-time job will give their retirement finances a boost, Gallup found. "Income from part-time employment takes pressure off a retiree's investment portfolio to generate returns year after year," says Michael Pace, a certified financial planner in Seattle. "And there are additional, non-monetary benefits that are often received, the chief of which is that part-time work helps keep the retiree connected to other people." However, far fewer retirees surveyed (20 percent) are actually currently working part-time. "A lot of people who intend to work in retirement have health problems and aren't able to continue to work," says Jacobe.
Savings accounts or CDs. Perhaps due to low interest rates, the proportion of retirees who count savings accounts or CDs among their retirement-income sources has declined from 57 percent in 2007 to 50 percent in 2012. Worker interest in these conservative savings vehicles has declined less sharply from 71 percent in 2007 to 68 percent in 2012. "CDs and savings accounts give you protection of principal, but right now, they aren't giving you much of anything on the interest side. You are probably taking a loss after taxes and inflation," says Russell McAlmond, a certified financial planner and president of Evergreen Capital Management in Portland, Ore. "Use these only for purchases you are going to make in the short term."
Home equity. Just under half (47 percent) of retirees are planning to use equity built up in their home to help finance their retirement years. Even more workers (60 percent) are hoping their home equity will give their retirement finances a boost. "Presuming a retiree has a home that is paid off or will be paid off during retirement, the home could be used as a pool of funds to help fund needs or goals during retirement via the use of a reverse mortgage," says Pace. You could also downsize to a smaller home or move to a more affordable part of the country and use the profit to help fund your retirement.

The Bachelorette TV Recap: Emily Maynard's Week 9
by Cheri on Jul.09, 2012, under articles
Emily Maynard has whittled down her prospective fiances to three and will thus eliminate another on tonight's episode of "The Bachelorette". Still left in the running are Arie, Sean and Jef, but which is the man who's holding the key to her heart? Is it sexy Arie? How about sweet Jef? Or it could even be funny hottie Sean. We'll keep you posted as we learn the news. For now, we'll be recapping the show live tonight!
Tonight in Curacao, Emily will be able to offer up the Fantasy Suite date cards (from Chris, weirdly enough). It's not an open invitation for a hookup, despite all of the show's attempts to make it appear as such.
Emily doesn't give a Suite card to Arie because she doesn't trust herself with him. Can you blame her? Dude is hot and passionate. She might have to choose him in the end if she goes through with an overnight visit with him. We've all heard the rumors that she chooses Jef Holm as her main man. We've even heard reports that Emily has already moved out of her home in Charlotte and it's up for sale.
Stay tuned for the live recap of the show at 8PM EST!

In a new interview with Australia's "60 Minutes," Russell Brand offered up a peculiar comparison to his split from Katy Perry after their 14-month marriage.
"I think if you're a devoted tennis professional and you get married to a crystal meth addict, you might have trouble," Brand, a recovering addict, said of his marriage. "I've been in a lot of trouble."
RELATED: Russell's Surprising Sex Substitute
Perry, 27, and Brand announced their split at the end of last year, and since then, the pop singer has been romantically linked to guitarist Rob Ackroyd and most recently John Mayer. Meanwhile, the funnyman, 37, has reportedly been dating actress Jordana Brewster's sister, Isabella. "Sometimes it goes well, sometimes it don't," he said. "But if you sort of sense there's an incompatibility, then in any relationship regardless of the status of the individual, it kind of is best to go separate ways."
RELATED: Katy's Steamy Fan Encounter
When asked if he still believes in soul mates, the "Get Him to the Greek" star admitted, "I don't know really, because I sort of find so many different people interesting. I think if you're someone who's really into mountain biking, it would be good to go out with someone else who's into mountain biking, and if you're really into Eastern mysticism, go out with someone else who's into Eastern mysticism."

The North Eastern Counties Schoolboys' League will host trails for their Emerging Talent Programme starting this month.
This season, the NECSL will hold their Emerging Talent Trials at St Patricks Classical School, Navan while Dundalk will also be a venue.
Conor Hynes, Jack Byrne and Colm Honan from the 1996 age group who participated at the Foyle Cup in July have all been selected for the FAI Regional Centre in Dundalk for the coming season.
Ben Hoey and Shane Freeman from the 1997 age group who had such a successful Galway Cup have also been selected.
At the 1998 age group nine players have been called up to the regional squad with - Dylan Doyle, Larry Power, David Harper, Conor McKenna, Keane Geraghty, Fintan Devlin, Steven Murray, Conor Brennan and Ross Tracy.
There was further reason to celebrate as Ross Tracy and Conor Brennan were called up to the FAI U-15 national development squad for the recent Hibernia Trophy in Dublin.
Tracy and Brennan impressed for the NECSL in the prestigious Kennedy Cup competition in June and both played a significant part for the FAI squad in the tournament where they played against Celtic, Linfield, Wolves and St. Joseph's Boys.
Last week it was also announced that recent Aston Villa and Fulham trialist Tracy as well as Brennan will be joined by Everton trialist and fellow Parkvilla (former Trim Celtic) and NECSL player Fintan Devlin for the forthcoming Ireland trials in September.
The trio will be aiming for a place in Irish manager Niall Harrision's squad who will meet up in October for a three-day training camp.
The first trial date for each age group will be for players who were not a part of last year's Emerging Talent squad and the second trial will be for players who impressed at the first trial and all players from last year's Emerging Talent Squads.
Clubs must return all nominations to the Emerging Talent Programme Administrator, Sandra McAuley - firstname.lastname@example.com, as all players must be pre-registered.

Rhode Island potluck
The potluck in Rhode Island almost didn't happen.
We had a venue set up weeks in advance, a farm whose work we admire, connected through a friend of ours who seems to know everything about food and drink in Rhode Island. We couldn't wait.
But the day before the potluck, as we were traveling down the road in our blue minivan, I received an email from David. The owner of the farm had a terrible family emergency on her hands and she wouldn't be able to host us the next day. What should we do?
Danny and I thought and thought. We could have easily just canceled it. After all, we had been on an incredible journey —— New York City, Pennsylvania, Hudson Valley, Vermont, and Maine, plus a day in Cape Cod with good friends —— and we were feeling mighty tired. Maybe, given the circumstances, we should just cancel.
However, in February of this year, we flew to Providence for the wedding of a very dear friend. We flew in a few days early to experience the place, which, in most cases in our lives, means eating. Oh, the eating! Providence has some of the best, most genuine restaurants I have ever dined in. We didn't want to miss this place.
So I threw up a question on Twitter and Facebook, the constant companions to the three of us on the road: Anyone know a place in Providence where we could have a potluck?
Within a few moments, someone wrote to say: Sure! Come to my home.
I'm telling you, people. There's such goodness in the world. We drove toward Rhode Island, toward a party that night.
