The Big Creek Missile Agency
The short story that became the movie October Sky.
- By Homer H. Hickam Jr.
- Air & Space magazine, March 1995
In 1957, Coalwood, West Virginia, was a miner's town, a dusty coal camp in a narrow valley surrounded by high, heavily forested ridges, the sky a narrow swath between them. I still think of the black-helmeted miners who every morning tramped along the path to the Olga Number One shaft, heavy denim pants tucked into steel-capped boots, lunch buckets swinging from calloused hands. Life in Coalwood seemed changeless, its center for me and its 1,200 inhabitants a deep shaft that plunged into a rich seam of bituminous coal. But when I was 14, an event in far-off Kazakhstan profoundly affected everyone in Coalwood: the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1. The townspeople went out into the crisp autumn night to watch the first man-made satellite streak overhead. We were mesmerized by the sight; it seemed like some new and wonderful age had begun. Some of us even began to build rockets.
Roy Lee Cooke, Jimmy Carroll, Quentin Wilson, Sherman Siers, Billy Rose, and I had grown up together. We'd been in the same Boy Scout troop and built forts, attended dances, gone to church, and chased the same girls. All our fathers worked in and around the mines, as had their fathers and grandfathers. Before Sputnik, we were headed for the mines too. Now, suddenly, we were looking in a different direction: up.
Up meant rockets, and we wanted to build one. Rocket-building manuals being scarce, our first attempt was based on an illustration in Life magazine. We took a flashlight casing, punched a hole in its base, filled it with powder from 30 cherry bombs, stuck a fuse through the hole/nozzle, and used the top of my backyard fence for a launch pad. It was a cold, clear evening, ideal for tracking a rocket across the night sky. Liftoff was a huge ball of fire. However, it wasn't our rocket that lifted off, but the fence. Mom came out on the back porch and contemplated the smoking ruin. "Somebody's in trouble," she sang out. Dad came out too, and in effect demanded a body count. We replied with quivering voices that we were all still alive.
The failure of our first launch clearly demonstrated that we didn't know enough. Until Sputnik, we had been indifferent to science and math, neither seeming to have much to do with our future. Our chemistry and physics teacher at Big Creek High School, Miss Freda Riley, worked desperately hard, often buying teaching supplies with her own tiny salary. Down the hall, Mr. Lockhart, our math teacher, had long since given up capturing the interest of his students and had taken to giving lectures with his back turned, scrawling equations across the blackboard. Now, suddenly, both teachers had students who were not only interested but intensely interested. Mr. Lockhart had been around too long to be overly impressed, but Miss Riley was enthralled by her suddenly attentive charges. Her classes became ever more inventive. She brought in flatirons and wooden boats to demonstrate Archimedes' principle, balloons and bicycle pumps for Boyle's law, and yo-yos to explain centrifugal force.
Our first 11 rockets failed, which taught us that sometimes things have to be learned the hard way. Dodging aluminum shrapnel, for instance, was an excellent way to discover that the rocket casing would have to retain a certain amount of pressure. It also demonstrated that rocket propellant would have to burn slower than cherry bomb powder. We also learned about rocket nozzle design by discovering that the diameter of the hole in the bottom dictated whether the rocket would blow up or just lay on its side and spew. Somewhere in there was the right nozzle throat diameter, if we could just learn to calculate it. Suddenly, Mr. Lockhart's plane and solid geometry classes had some pertinence, and we astonished him by asking sensible questions.
Despite our new academic interests, our failures in the field were so steady that we named our rockets after the great auk, a bird that could not fly. But we were learning to be methodical, building on what worked, changing what failed.
Auk XII was our first success. A foot-long, inch-wide aluminum tube filled with potassium nitrate and sugar, it flew to the giddy altitude of 100 feet. We'd gotten the idea for the propellant when Miss Riley had used it to demonstrate rapid oxidation. When we saw that hot pink flame, we Coalwood boys shared knowing glances. Rocket fuel!
Potassium nitrate, otherwise known as saltpeter, was available at the company store, and sugar was in the pantry. We mixed it half and half and then went up and down the scale, looking for the best burn rate. After each mix we tossed the results in the coal-fire water heater in my basement. One day Mom was leaning on her new fence, talking to the neighbor, when our best combination went off, sending a spout of flame and smoke up the chimney with an impressive whoosh! Mom poked her head in the basement and informed us that, once again, somebody was in trouble. We sheepishly clanged the heater door shut. Dad later collared me as I headed outside. "Going to burn the house down?" he asked. "No sir," I said. "Attaboy," he replied.

I realize why you first called your rockets Auk, because the rockets, just like the bird, were flightless. But, why did you not change the name, when the rockets started to fly... especially the last one that went up four miles?

I think the name Auk became tradition... besides, it's short!
Posted by Kirk G on January 18,2012 | 11:38 PM
It isn't likely to happen today, with science being mostly ignored or marginalized. And most of the people who do get science degrees going into IT rather than pure science.
Besides, the cops would probably bust you for being a terrorist today if you blew up a fence with a cherry bomb rocket :)
Wonderful story - thanks a lot for sharing it.
Posted by Suresh Ramasubramanian on April 23,2012 | 09:18 PM
All articles and publications that I have seen, including the book, are concerned with people. Why are there virtually no published photographs of the rockets?

Cinema Alfredo: Reservoir Dogs + Cask Ale + Cheese Pairing
Check out the event photos here.
Please note: this event is SOLD OUT!
On Thursday, February 14, TFA and The Anchor present a uniquely alternative Valentine's Day event – featuring a Cask Ale and Cheese Pairing coupled with a screening of RESERVOIR DOGS (1992)– a film Empire Magazine calls the greatest independent film ever made.
Can't afford diamonds for your loved one this year? Share a botched diamond heist, signature Tallgrass Brewing Company craft beer and a cinematically-inspired artisan cheese plate – featuring blonde, blue, brown, orange, pink and white varieties – while Quentin Tarantino's Directorial debut sets an unconventional backdrop for the most sentimental of holidays.
Tickets are $25.64 (includes tax, not tip) and admission includes a one-of-a-kind pint of Tallgrass Brewing Co. Cask Ale, artisan cheese plate, logo pint glass, film screening, food, beer and wine specials, and of course, a night to remember.
Advanced purchase recommended as seating is limited.
Quentin Tarantino's directorial debut is raw, violent, often mimicked -- and unforgettable. A botched robbery indicates a police informant, and the pressure mounts in the aftermath at a warehouse. Crime begets violence as the survivors unravel. Starring Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi and Chris Penn. (Rated R)

They aren't just a consolation for renters, either. These large swathes of color are less time- and labor-intensive than repainting a room. At their best, colorful curtain can make blanket canvas white walls an asset.

Go and Boyle yer heed, Frankie
Posted on Thursday 21st April, 2011
I've been reflecting, of late, on that wonderful personage known as Frankie Boyle and the material that he laughingly calls comedy.
What Frankie and his team - believe me, there's always a team behind mediocre talent like Boyle's - probably had an 'ideas' meeting that went something like this:
"So how can we get more people to complain about our material and loads of free publicity then?"
"What about taking the piss out of Stephen Hawking?"
"Nah, it's been done to death."
"What about having a go at Jordan's kid, the wee blind laddie?"
"That's sick, you really can't do that...can you?"
"Well it would certainly get Ofcom's attention and get us all over the media."
And so, and so on.
But there is something very pernicious in all of this: a couple of years ago I investigated some horrendous hate crimes perpetrated against disabled people. The woman who was urinated upon, sprayed with shaving foam and filmed on mobile phones as she lay dying in the street for example. The young man who was imprisoned and systematically starved and tortured while being kept in a garden shed by his 'friends'. The young man who was hounded by a group of youths on a housing estate in the North East of England and who was kicked and punched to death.
All of these people have one thing in common: they are different and they are victimised for being different. The likes of Boyle serve only to legitimise the actions of morons who are probably the only people to find his material remotely humourous. As my good friend and fellow thalidomider, Mat Fraser, would say:
"Such people are merely scraping the barrel of their own mediocrity."
But they're doing much more than that. They are lighting a blue touch paper that results in lives being lost or torn apart. And people such as Boyle - like bullies everywhere - choose their target very carefully: as the formidable Steve Coogan reminded the Top Gear boys recently, having a go at Mexicans is easy, tired and rather lazy.
Genuine humour - the type that wins awards all over the world and has made this country something of a brand leader - is not hard to come by. So I'm slightly perplexed as to why anyone at Channel 4, the BBC or anywhere else for that matter might be tempted to commission substandard material from people who would do anything - literally anything - for a cheap laugh. And they think Katie Price is a publicity-hungry media tart!

Forget the playoffs. There's a highly competitive race going on at the bottom of the NFL standings that could have as much impact on the franchises involved as winning a Super Bowl can have for the contenders.
As if playing in the Eastern time zone where they've lost 12 straight games isn't bad enough, the Oakland Raiders could be facing snowy conditions for Sunday's game in New York.
The Lakers expect to have Kobe Bryant back in their lineup when they face the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
The Seattle Mariners say that cannot confirm any details of a potential deal with free agent second baseman Robinson Cano.
Chris Petersen is headed to Washington after finally being persuaded to leave Boise State.
The Atlanta Hawks have assigned rookie guard Dennis Schroder to the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League.
State Attorney Willie Meggs made the announcement Thursday. The 19-year-old Heisman Trophy candidate was accused of raping a female student in December last year, but Meggs says there is not enough evidence for anyone to be charged in the case.
Eli Manning doesn't feel comfortable talking about why he and his family didn't want him to play in San Diego in 2004. The New York Giants quarterback gets a sheepish look and says he really doesn't remember why he spurned a city known for its mild climates and beaches.
Darren McFadden is sidelined again, this time with an ankle injury. Rashad Jennings has made progress since suffering a concussion last week but has yet to be cleared. Not even third-stringer Jeremy Stewart, who is nursing a combination of ankle and knee injuries, was able to practice Wednesday.
Will Ferrell stopped by the ESPN studios in Bristol, Conn., to promote his film "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" and interviewed Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, as Ron Burgundy. Needless to say, it was hilarious.
UCLA head football coach Jim Mora signed a 6-year contract extension with the Bruins, the school announced Tuesday.
Tony Clark has become the first former big leaguer to lead the baseball players' union, pending a vote by the general membership.
Keeping active in the trade market, the Oakland Athletics have acquired right-handed reliever Luke Gregerson from the San Diego Padres for outfielder Seth Smith.
The A's added outfield depth Tuesday by acquiring Gentry along with right-hander Josh Lindblom from the division rival Texas Rangers for outfielder Michael Choice and minor league infielder Chris Bostick.
Few things could damage the image of Brazil more than violent street protests during the World Cup.

It was supposed to be the best team ever. The most talented lineup of all time, they said. And it wasn't enough. In 2006, Team USA lost an international game for the first time since 1978. It seems like yesterday that we watched Gary Gait leap for joy as Canada took the 2006 World Games Gold Medal.
That memory has profoundly affected Team USA. Under Coach Mike Pressler, National Team hopefuls have taken a much more businesslike approach to tryouts. There is an obvious focus on a team-first style. Offensive middies sell out on D. Guys yell encouragement to one another from the sidelines. It looks like so much fun. It is evident from the way these guys play that they are honored to have made it this far. Besides the change in attitude, there will be some strategic decisions based on the lessons learned from 2006.

Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer
KelseyHairBlondeNormal HairCompletely Blew Away My Old Hair DryerI have only had my dryer now for a few weeks and i really like the idea of the ionic hair dryer and its benefits, which i am sure in time will see results from that in time, however, the one thing i loved off the bat was how quickly my hair dried. it took minutes off my drying time with my old dryer.posted Aug 19, 2013Link to this post
KarlaKYHairBlondeNormal HairLove This Dryer!I've always used a cheap hair dryer and decided to upgrade. This dryer makes my hair feel softer and less frizz. I love it!posted Aug 15, 2013Link to this post
Anita C.Southeast GeorgiaHairGreyFine or Thin HairThin Grey Fly Away Hair Tamed Solia MagicThe first time I used the Solia 1875W Thermal Dryer I could tell the difference in the quality of dryer by the response of my hair. I am a retired professional stylist. I have been retired for over 20 years and have been out of touch with the business. So the Solia was new to me. I have grey thin fly away hair. After using the Solia my hair was shiny and silky. I cannot express the difference in quality of sheen of my hair just from using the Solia. I did not and do not use a conditioner because it leaves my hair flat, limp and straight. The Solia made my hair easy to style and dried it in seconds. Not in a minute but seconds. I used the directional attachment to add lift and body to my hair without any product. I surmise the use of product will only enhance the results. Oh yes, I also used the cold shot to set the style. And I am pleased that the cold did not have to be held down the entire time like it does on so many units. But is itself a temp selection. I am thrilled with my purchase. I would highly recommend the Solia 1875W Ionic Hair Dryer to the non professional or to the professional. A plus a forgot to mention for both non and professional would be the LONG cord. I just keep finding things I like about the Solia!posted Aug 15, 2013Link to this post
MaryCaliforniaAlmost A Winner...Had high hopes that the Solia could compete with the T3 Tourmaline dryer, which unfortunately tends to fry my hair but on the plus side leaves it incredibly smooth and shiney. The Solia isn't half the machine the T3 is. While the heat settings allow for control over the temperature (to some extent), thereby preventing major heat damage, the smoothness and shininess that I had expected is lacking. While my hair dries fast, it also dries with considerable effort required to eliminate the frizz. It comes with two defusers, which is great, The controls are nicely placed (eliminating inadvertent changes in temperature or turning it off if your fingers move). Weight is moderate (not light). Would I purchase again? Probably not., For the price I expect more performance.posted Aug 14, 2013Link to this post
AmeliaIllinoisHairLight BrownThick or Coarse HairFast Hair DryerBought this a couple of weeks ago and I am obsessed! I have a ton of hair and this was able to dry my whole head so quickly. It also leaves my hair feeling very soft.posted Aug 13, 2013Link to this post
Elena W.Huntsville, AlHairPlatinum BlondeDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreat!!This is my first professional hair dryer so I was quote impressed. I was in between this and the SEDU. For financial purposes I went with this one. I delivers a quite good job. My only concern is the heat- just not enough heat- at the highest level it is not hot enough. Air flow is really good- love it. Cuts half of the time of what a non professional one would do.
If the heat was right I believe I would have loved it.
I will buy next SEDU- just to see the difference and then I will know if it was worth to spend the money or not.
My hair is frizzy and medium length- no easy to style- now it is finally getting easier.

It works well and is great at eliminating the frizz from my hair. I found my hair to be frizzy using my old dryer but have not had a problem since using this dryer. Another great feature is the dryer allows you to control the amount of heat to apply.posted Jul 26, 2013Link to this post
PennyHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove This DryerThis dryer has great heat, great blower strength and is not too heavy( important to me due to RA). The only thing I don't love is the cool shot button. I don't think it is well located and it's hard to tell if the button is on or off, does it need to be held down? Or just touched. The instructions did not answer that either. Overall a GREAT dryer, I have extremely unruly, thick, course, frizzy hair that usually takes over 1&1/2 hours to dry but this dryer took less than half the time!posted Jul 23, 2013Link to this post

My son and I lost our beloved basset hound Bessie in January due to a heart condition that we did not know she had. It was a horrible time for the both of us. Over the last few months I was looking at rescue sites and I happened to come across Louie on the Coon Rapids Humane Society site. He had only been at the shelter for 2 days. Just neutered and a chip placed. He was in his previous home for 6 months and then given up because they had to move. I immediately called my mom and we jumped in the car to meet Louie.
It was love at first sniff. I grabbed his paper work and started the adoption process right away. We arrived just in time to actually adopt, they were closing shortly.
Since Louie has been home, he has been a great addition. The cats hate him but...that is what cats do with dogs. He took about a week to adjust (little less), which I thought was great considering what a week he had (new family, neutered, old family gone). He sleeps in his crate some times and in bed with mom sometimes...depends on what he feels like that day.
Although he does not replace our dear Bessie Mae, he has filled that hole left in our hearts with joy and puppyness.

DePauw rolls to 25-point SCAC win
January 21, 2005
January 21, 2005, Greencastle, Ind. - The Tigers shot 54 percent from the floor and held visiting Rhodes to just 37 percent on the way to an 81-56 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference victory. DePauw improved to 10-6 overall, while Rhodes dropped to 3-12 overall and 1-5 in the SCAC.
DePauw closed the first half with a 19-4 run to break an 18-18 tie and take a 37-22 halftime advantage. The Tigers led by as many as 26 in the second half as they shot 64 percent over the final 20 minutes.
"Our defense was really good in the first half and set the tone for the whole game," DePauw head coach Bill Fenlon said.
Four Tigers scored in double figures led by Steve Schott and Austin Brown with 14 apiece. Todd Capes and Dre Smith each scored 10 in the victory. Smith hauled down seven rebounds as DePauw held a 41-27 advantage on the boards. Joey Hanger recorded a game-high seven assists for the Tigers.
Matthew Jakes led Rhodes with 15 points followed by Justin Strong and Kevin Campion with 12 each and Rami Almefty with 10 apiece. Almefty paced the Lynx with seven boards and, along with Campion dished out five assists.
DePauw hosts Hendrix on Sunday at 1 p.m., while Rhodes travels to Rose-Hulman. Hendrix defeated Rose-Hulman tonight by a 55-51 score.

xphoenix8704/11/2011 at 2:27 PM #
Amusing as this is, it's hardly limited to star players or Duke players. Switching the pivot foot is an epidemic at basically all levels of basketball, and it's hardly ever called anymore. It's all about perception. You can switch feet while pivoting all day, but if you pump fake and lift your foot a fraction of a second before you dribble, it's a travel every time. Annoys the crap out of me every time I watch basketball now.
tann8404/11/2011 at 2:31 PM #
I haven't seen a walk that bad in a long time. What made it worse is that the ref wouldn't call it so he just kept walking.
Hungwolf04/11/2011 at 2:34 PM #
I am hoping MG's experience and relationship with ESPN is going to benefit the Pack in drawing media attention to ACC games being called fair. Swofford and his officials have let UNC win multiple games as UNC as shot far more than its share of Free throws than its ACC counterparts. Maybe MG's national name and ESPN fame will counter what I consider Carolina refs and a Carolina ACC front office showing clear favortism in how games are called to scheduling etc. Nothing wrong with wishing for a Level playing field that has not existed in the past.
Hungwolf04/11/2011 at 2:38 PM #
PS. I never thought Barnes and other top coaches were ever scared of coaching against UNC or Duke. I think their fear is that the games would never be called fair enough to coach on a level playing field.
tjfoose104/11/2011 at 2:39 PM #
A nice thought, but in weighing MG against Duke and UNC, on which side do you think ESPN will fall?
"I haven't seen a walk that bad in a long time. "
So you've already forgotten 'Beaker' Hansbrough? Knight's breakdown of Tyler's traveling is the only time I can remember ESPN being critical of pro UNC officiating.
goalielax04/11/2011 at 2:52 PM #
is there a more played out angle than complaining about refs…especially at a high school all star game…have you EVER seen an all star game where it's been called tight? come on…
but at least now i understand why you guys blocked me from the SFN twitter account – probably didn't like me telling you to stop complaining about ACC refs during non-ACC reffed games in the tourney.
but at least you and IC have something in common now – silencing those who don't march in lockstep with you. bravo
gopack1004/11/2011 at 2:54 PM #
It almost becomes humorous after a while but I agree that this kind of problem isn't a biased Duke/UNC problem but a problem with basketball in general.
Here is another instance where it is ridiculous. But I'm just going to go ahead and put it out there that it is simply a coincidence that this is a former Dukie too.

During the NCAA tournament, I spent some time watching players' feet. It was unbelievable how often players would receive the ball and do a little jig down there while facing up to the defender. Unless the player is making a "basketball" move, it quite often goes uncalled, and I think that applies to all teams. I can't stand Bobby Knight, but the one point of emphasis in his analysis that is right on point is all of the missed traveling calls.
One Man Wolf Pack04/11/2011 at 4:38 PM #
It's stuff like this post that contributes to the perception of the "lunatic fringe". Was it a travel? Yes. Is this a HS ALL STAR game? Yes. Would anyone get away with this in college? 99.9% of the time, no.
I think the bigger concern when it comes to officiating in the ACC is learning how to CONSISTENTLY officiate certain team's physical style of defense. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing our team duplicate that same type of defense intensity for a change. When you create a reputation of playing a certain way, you can get away with a little more than other teams. Until we (or any other team) can play defense with the same intensity as Duke, UNC, or FSU, we will be at a serious disadvantage when we play them.

Lets not forget this classic called out by Bobby Knight on national TV.
fullmoon104/11/2011 at 5:35 PM #
I am sorry but I do not agree tha UNC and Duke plays 'tough" defense. They hand check, flop and are over the top aggressive guarding away from the ball with holding, elbowing and tom foolery. We have seen this over and over in the college game. Just refer to teh above mentioned youtube vid from Knight.

MrPlywood04/11/2011 at 6:59 PM #
Good find greywolf, I was looking for that on ESPN.com. I love the bell sound effects to go with each step, and the fact that Hopsborough was used as an example.
There was a lot of discussion about this year's tourney and the way the "big" programs were losing to smaller programs, and that perhaps there was a trickle-down effect from the All-Star games that the 4 and 5 star kids play in. The thought was that the kids just wanted to play, and weren't concerned about losing since there was always another game, and when push came to shove they didn't know how to finish. They're more concerned with the next level and showcasing their skills. I can see the same sort of trickle-down effecton both the players and officials regarding the lax officiating in the all-star games. It's the And-1 effect. Slippery slope…
Hungwolf04/11/2011 at 9:17 PM #
Seems Mark Packer used to keep a stat on Ft's attempted by ACC schools in ACC games. If I remember correctly UNC took an extreme amount more than any other ACC team with only Duke being close to them. A shocking stat considering the physical nature, pressure defense, and over play on defense, and rebound aggresiveness by UNC teams. ACC Commiss from UNC and they get to shoot more FT's than anyone.
tann8404/11/2011 at 9:31 PM #
@Hungwolf He still does.
Guess who finished first this year?

Its funny to watch full speed. I'm 6'5 with a good outside game…but if I knew I could have got calls like that I should have looked into Duke!

" …but at least you and IC have something in common now – silencing those who don't march in lockstep with you. "
I don't know what you did to get blocked from twitter, but I feel certain that it wasn't just having a differing opinion. The folks here have always invited differing opinions, assuming those who express them do so respectfully. If your accusation was even close to true, we would have all gotten banned from here a long time ago.
Perhaps getting blocked from twitter has more to do with the fact that twitter isn't the ideal forum to conduct such an argument/discussion (or any argument/discussion for that matter)?
As far as the video linked….holy crap! How do you get to that level of organized basketball and still do that? I never made it past HS and NCSU intramurals and pick-up, but even I couldn't do that without calling it on my damn self! I don't care if it's an all-star game or a pick-up game, that's atrocious.
And while I do think there is a bias among ACC officials, I feel pretty sure that this would be called no matter who did it. I'm more concerned about more subtle things like allowing teams dressed in blue to hand check or to get away with over the back on rebounds. Not to mention allowing them to get away with the obvious flops. I mean, every team tries to draw a charge and flops a little (well, except us), but they don't even try to act anymore because they don't have to.
wolfonthehill04/12/2011 at 5:56 AM #
Thanks, keyunit – that's the most egregious of all – it's the first one I thought of when I saw the clip.
And for those who think we're on the lunatic fringe, please find one clip – ONE – where a State player takes as many steps as Psycho or McRoberts in the ones above… and doesn't get called.
Seriously – just one.
highstick04/12/2011 at 8:42 AM #
It's part of the continued "dumbing down" of the gain so that players who are "athletic" don't have to abide by the rules. It's also like comparing the "non steroid" era of baseball to the "steroid era".
Wolfy__7904/12/2011 at 2:40 PM #
i'd like to see more women in men's hoops officiating. retire some of these old cows or send them to the nba?? of all professions, do these people have 100% job security?
The Grinch04/12/2011 at 4:31 PM #
With all due respect to the narrator, that was 4 steps. After that it was all picot. Maybe 5 with the dribble step.
I'm not saying this isue is not a problem, just not so much this example, especially in an all star game.

SHRINKING LAKE has receded 100 kilometers from this former shoreline near Moynak, Uzbekistan.
Image: Matthieu Paley
In Brief
- The Aral Sea in Central Asia was the fourth-largest lake on the planet in 1960. By 2007 it had shrunk to 10 percent of its original size. Widespread, wasteful irrigation of the deserts along the Amu and Syr rivers, which feed the Aral, cut the freshwater inflow to a trickle.
- The sea has shriveled into three major residual lakes, two of which are so salty that fish have disappeared. The once thriving fishing fleets have disappeared, too. Former shore towns have collapsed. Vast seabeds lie exposed and dried; winds now blow salts and toxic substances across populated areas, causing significant health problems.
- Nevertheless, a dam built in 2005 has helped the northernmost lake expand quickly and drop substantially in salinity. Fish populations and wetlands are returning—and with them signs of economic revival. The two big southern lakes could become dead seas, however, unless the Amu river, which once fed them, is substantially reengineered, a project requiring tens of billions of dollars and difficult political agreements.
- Other lakes worldwide are beginning to suffer similar fates, chief among them Lake Chad in Central Africa and the Salton Sea in Southern California. Lessons learned about the Aral's demise and partial resurrection could benefit these regions.
The Aral Sea gets almost all its water from the Amu and Syr rivers. Over millennia the Amu's course has drifted away from the sea, causing it to shrink. But the lake always rebounded as the Amu shifted back again. Today heavy irrigation for crops such as cotton and rice siphons off much of the two rivers, severely cutting flow into their deltas and thus into the sea. Evaporation vastly outpaces any rainfall, snowmelt or groundwater supply, reducing water volume and raising salinity.
The Soviet Union hid the sea's demise for decades until 1985, when leader Mikhail Gorbachev revealed the great environmental and human tragedy. By the late 1980s the sea's level had dropped so much that the water had separated into two distinct bodies: the Small Aral (north) and the Large Aral (south). By 2007 the south had split into a deep western basin, a shallow eastern basin and a small, isolated gulf. The Large Aral's volume had dropped from 708 to only 75 cubic kilometers (km3), and salinity had risen from 14 to more than 100 grams per liter (g/l). The 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union divided the lake between newly formed Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, ending a grand Soviet plan to channel in water from distant Siberian rivers and establishing competition for the dwindling resource.

Brendan, If you are doing this via nfs, you should be sure that mounts are done using the tcp parameter in /etc/fstab.

Most federal agencies will miss the Sept. 30 deadline by which their public-facing websites are supposed to support Internet Protocol version 6. An official weekly snapshot provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology showed that as of Sept. 26, just 11 percent of the 1,498 government external domains tested had operational IPv6 support. Another 35 percent have the support in progress, but a full 54 percent showed no progress.
(See the complete list of domains included in the testing here.)The government is doing better than industry, however, which showed only 1 percent of sites with full support and another 28 percent in progress.
NIST cautions that its results are only estimates. Still, the numbers suggest the government still has some way to go to meet the Obama Administration's mandate, issued in 2010 by former U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra. NIST looks to see whether a given domain supports IPv6 in three components: the domain name system -- which translates the numerical IP address into something intelligible to humans, such as fcw.com -- e-mail and the web.
There is urgency driven by the mandate, but there is also urgency driven by the dwindling number of available addresses under IPv4, the old standard. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which manages the global allocation of IP addresses, assigned the final available blocks to regional registries in early 2011, and some of those regional allocations have already been exhausted. IPv6 affords an exponentially larger number of unique IP addresses (79,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as many as IPv4), which will be vital for the increasingly networked world.
Akamai, a company that provides products and services to enable agencies to make the transition, has seen an increase in the level of priority, said Christine Schweikert, senior engagement manager with the company. "With the upcoming deadline, we're finding that the transition to IPv6 is really top of mind for U.S. government agencies," she said a few days before the deadline.
Akamai uses dual-stacked servers to aid the transition, allowing an agency to run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. She likened it to learning a new language. "Over time, as IPv6 clients become more ubiquitous, you speak less and less IPv4 and eventually, IPv6 becomes your native language," she said.

Love Letters, hate mail
Back At Ya
(Re: "Love Letters, Hate Mail," August 16-22, Vol. 22, No. 7)
Dear UTW:
In Aug. 16-22 issue, Will Short challenged Dale Apollo Cook or anyone to list all of Randy Boom Boom Blake's opponents that were kickboxers, and calling his ISKA title victory over his opponent maybe undeserved saying his opponent was a former title holder and over the hill. I don't think the ISKA would have brought the president of there organization to Tulsa if that was true.
What about Myron Dennis who Randy fought on more than one occasion to settle that score? Or maybe Mr. Short doesn't think much of Myron Dennis as a kickboxer; or maybe Mr. Short doesn't think MMA athletes or wrestlers are quality opponents?
So I would like to challenge Mr. Short to post his kickboxing record. So as I am not going list all of Boom Boom's opponents, but I can assure you that that they were all quality opponents at the time of a young man's fight career.

(Re: "Seeing Double," August 23-29, Vol. 22, No. 8)
Dear UTW:
Definition of Insanity: Making the same mistakes over and over while expecting a different outcome each time.
Isn't that what the leadership of Tulsa is proposing now with this Vision2 package? Isn't this what they have been doing for the past 40 years? There is an alternative plan.
Our future is in planning and we have a plan. The Comprehensive Plan. We have the talent to implement this plan through The Tulsa Planning Department. We have overwhelming support for the Comprehensive Plan from the thousands of Tulsans who participated in and continue to support PlaniTulsa. Why aren't we doing everything possible to execute this plan?
The City of Tulsa just began a program called Small Area Workshops. In these workshops, The COT hosts planning meetings inviting neighborhoods and business to work together in developing plans designed to help their areas succeed in the future. This is the first step in the planning process as outlined in the new comprehensive plan.
Once the stake holders have a plan, the end result is called a Small Area Plan. This is a city sponsored process and neighborhoods all over Tulsa are lining up to participate. Sadly, that is where the city support ends. We are spending tens of thousands in tax payer dollars and untold volunteer hours churning out small area plans to nowhere. In the end, there is no policy or funding mechanism in place to implement any of them.
Without funding mechanisms, Small Area Planning is nothing more than a pacifier for pipe dreams. When the planning is done and the COT goes home, neighborhoods are left to fend for themselves in locating funding for their plans and are solely responsible for implementing them.
Doesn't that seem insane to you? Or is it merely ineptitude. Isn't it time we stopped the insanity and began to support the plans we already have?
The Vision2 package presents us with a unique opportunity to do just that.
Fund PlaniTulsa!

Heads from the Sand
(Re: "Green Shoots in Aerospace," August 23-29, Vol. 22, No. 8)
Dear UTW:
This whole article is based on a false premise, that is: there will be continued aircraft heavy maintenance in the future. Those that want to know have pulled their head from the sand in the sandbox, have realized that aircraft heavy maintenance is, or shortly will be, a thing of the past.
Aviation Week & Space Technology has for the last 12 months been telling its readers this. Especially in the last three months. Again in the August 6 issue there is a short summary by Lee Ann Tegtmeier of this same subject: "GET SMARTER"
"... The market has reached the point where the airlines are focusing on avoiding maintenance and life cycle expenditures, argues Tim Hoyland, an Oliver Wyman partner. 'Airlines are getting very aggressive about evaluating total cost of ownership.' This helps explain why some aircraft are being torn down at as early as eight years and the retirement age is dropping' (AW&ST July 2, p. 21).
"Hoyland thinks there is a correlation between OEM parts price escalation and intellectual property control, with the increase number of aircraft torn down for their part. Couple this with the fact that newer aircraft are more fuel-efficient and many use aircraft are worth more in parts than as a whole. ... Hoyland thinks it is very difficult for passenger airlines to find economics equilibrium with 20-year old aircraft. ..."
There you have it. The first heavy check is due in about 5-8 years. The low cost airlines have been ditching these aircraft when this very expensive maintenance is due for newer, more fuel efficient aircraft. The legacy airlines (American Airlines) just have now figured this out. The days of the airline maintenance base are short indeed.
Vision 2 is a pig in a poke.

This is in my opinion a bit hard to answer on. I mean, if I don't like a game then I would simply stop playing it. I've never played a game that makes me angry or irritated enough to actually wish the developers won't continue on the game series. However, I wish Treyarch won't make any more Call of Duty games.
I wish they would stop making WoW games, they are evil and make people emo..for the most part. (IMO!)
I'm going to suppose this thread is a spin-off of the one Polarman made and I'm going to interprete it as I want, that is: sequels you think never had to be made. I 'd have wanted EA never did NFS:Underground, actually ANY NFS game after NFSorsche, because all of them are based on underground to some extent. COD3 and 4. probably 5 too, haven't tried it yet. Rainbow Six series after Raven Shield. Postal 2 EDIT: I'm playing Farcry 2 right now (20% completed) and it's a good candidate. Bad, bad, it's not bad, it's boring and repetitive though, but I'm hoping it will get better as it goes. Anyway with what I have seen so far it's enough to say it's not the successor that Farcry deserved. Still a candidate.
You have to understand this is an opinion. It's because for me it's not a worthy succesor to the series. For me it lowered the bar for what I want an FPS to be: 1 - Immersion. Where COD1 and 2 made you think you were in the middle of a war, COD4 failed. 2 - Where COD1 and 2 weapons were so cool and amazing to shoot, COD4 ones were easy and overpowered making COD4 campaing just a point and click game. 3 - COD4 was a console game for the most part, which was obvious by what I said in 2 and how the enemies reacted, easy to kill. 4 - Half the gaming time is spent in stupid gimmick missions, scripted to make things even worse, like the one on the gunner plane and the sniper one. Not that the one on the boat is better. 5 - Plot? What plot? Oh yeah, patriotism is so cool it's a plot by itself... As I said it's my opinion. I really hope never ever anyone tries to make their game following COD4's standards.
Point 1, I don't get, most of the missions were very immersive to me. Point 2 is for SURE, the weapons were a bit overpowered, I never once swapped out for an enemy weapon, no need. Point 3, is hit and miss, most of the time the enemies were quite smart but sometimes they just try to get you with numbers. Point 4, I disagree with I loved those two missions and wished there were more of them. Point 5. Well, John Carmack said that a game is like a porno, a story is great, but not necessary. They took that to heart in COD4 lol.
Are you arguing to my opinions? I was asked why I didn't like COD4 and delivered my opinion. This thread is not about if XXXX game is good or not. It's about which games you wish didn't had a continuation. COD2 is one for me. Your argumentations are out of place.
Not at all, just discussing the game and the reason you think that it didn't deserve a sequel, that is all. Twice now you have been quite rude over my posts, is there some reason for your hostility to me?
First of all I didn't like COD MP, that's why I don't play it. Anyway I buy most games for the single player. My brother and father take most of the bandwidth when I have the time to play, and when I can, I like TF2 and CSS so much that I don't care about any other one. Maybe UT3 or Crysis. Anyway, I like the SP experience of good games much more than the MP, which for me is just for time passing. Do you feel bad for the people who buy DVD or BDs right now, or the ones that go to the cinema? They get 1,5 hours of experience, I like to get 8 hours of immersion in games. It doesn't matter what game you liked guys, that's not being asked here. I didn't like it. That won't change.
The shorter way of explaining it would be to say that I'm Spanish. I'm not being rude towards you, we simply talk in a different manner and sorry but I sincerely fail to see were I was rude there.
DarkMatter, if you find the SP too short..play it at Veteran difficulty, it'll give you more of a challenge. Side Note: WoW is still evil!
OHHH! Language barrier there, I am sorry, I didn't realize. makes sense now . I just like talking things to death, figuring out people's opinions. Just though of one they should have stopped. Street Fighter. After 2, it just went down hill.
too many releases may i ask? Well they could of just stuck with the Megaman and Megaman X storyline i guess (Which includes Zero and ZX series), but i guess that is what their selling point is other than streetfighter, and most like Platformers vs Fighting games anyway.

Packers vs. Giants: Home Field and The X-Factor
All week, the discussion surrounding the Green Bay Packers' Divisional Round game has been primarily about their matchup with the New York Giants' defensive line. It seems to be the biggest focal point of the whole game, especially with the young talents of Jason Pierre-Paul matching up against veteran Chad Clifton.
But there is an X-factor to this "battle in the trenches" that hasn't been mentioned much: Aaron Rodgers' use of the hard count.
It's no surprise that the Green Bay Packers are looking forward to having the home field advantage. For one, they don't have to travel, but most importantly, they don't have to deal with a hostile crowd. As someone who witnessed the last Packers-Giants matchup at MetLife Stadium, I can attest to the impact of crowd noise.
The "twelfth man" can create a lot of stress for opposing offenses. Sometimes they will revert to a silent snap count, which affords the defense an edge in getting off the line as quickly as the offense. Other times it can create communication problems which lead to pre-snap penalties and clock management issues.
Let's not forget, though, what advantages are provided to the home offense.
Finding ways to slow down the Giants' pass rush will be important for a Packers victory. Common tactics include establishing a solid ground attack, utilizing screen passes and draw plays, and chip blocking the outside rushers with tight ends.

This week, I participated in Kirsten's fun series "Confessions of a Designer" over at 6th Street Design School.
I, along with six other designers/bloggers shared our thoughts on what makes the ideal client, how you should choose your designer, who we would hire to do our own homes, and more.
Most of you are probably familiar with Kirsten's blog. . . . We only met briefly last fall, but I think of her as a kindred spirit (although I have a few years on her!). We both started our design businesses around the same time, are both technicaly "stay-at-home" moms, and am pretty sure we both run around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to manage it all!
She has a wonderful style, and I'm looking forward to following her latest project--her mom's guest room. She just whipped this up for the artwork last week, and I can't wait to see more.

I bought the tie dye version of these shorts and loved them, so I figured I'd get a second pair in a different print. I was disappointed when these arrived. The material is not as soft as the tie dye ones. They're still cute, but I don't like that gauzy feel. I sent them back. If you don't mind the gauzy materials, these are still super cute! I love the pattern, the pom poms. And they fit perfectly! They are sheer though. Just an FYI. :)

These shorts feel like you are wearing air, amazingly light and comfortable. They are great to wear as a cover-up to the beach or around the house. I love the Aztec print and pops of color that I can wear with multiple solid shirts. Super Comfortable!
