Americans ramped up spending at retail businesses in November, providing a boost to the economy just in time for the holidays.
Many bosses are ditching traditional holiday parties. Instead, they're sponsoring shopping sprees and cruises to reward staffers and celebrate at the end of the year. Others are holding parties that include a special activity or are doing volunteer events that they say are good for business.

Today I am sharing a Patchwork Star Block Tutorial a fun variation on the traditional Sawtooth Star block!
This was originally published as a guest tutorial on Thought & Found.
Sewing Level: Intermediate
- (4) 4" squares from background fabric
- (4) 3.5" squares from background fabric
- (4) 4" squares from main print fabric
- (9) 2.5" squares from various print fabrics
1. First we're going to piece the inner patchwork square. Lay out your nine 2.5″ squares in a 3 x 3 arrangement.
2. Sew each row. Press the seams in alternating directions.
3. Sew rows together. Press seams open. At this point it would be a good
idea to square up the 9-patch to 6.5″ before continuing with the rest of
the block's construction.
4. Now we're going to sew the half-square triangles for our star points.
Put a 4″ background square and a 4″ print square right sides together.
Using a pencil and ruler, draw a diagonal line from one corner to the
5. Stitch 1/4″ on both sides of the line you just drew. Cut along the line
with scissors or a rotary cutter. Press the seam open. Trim to 3.5″.
6. Repeat with the remaining 4″ squares for a total of eight half-square triangles.
7. Arrange your pieces as shown above.
8. Sew both pairs of side half-square triangles together. Press the seams open.
9. Sew the side half-square triangle units to the center patchwork square
and press the seams towards center. Sew together the pieces for top
row. Sew together the pieces for the bottom row. For each of the top and
bottom units, press the center seam open, and the side seams towards
the outside.
10. Sew all three rows together. Press the seams open.
Voila! You're done!

It's just about time to brake out the sandals for spring, which for many women means getting a pedicure. But do you really know what's in your nail polish?
According to a new study, nail polish contains toxic chemicals that could cause cancer or birth defects.
Every day, tons of people head to the salon to get their nails lacquered. Most folks are in and out, so they're exposed to the chemicals in the nail polish may be minimal. But what about the nail technicians? "Nail salon workers and owners have a right to work in a safe and healthy workplace," said Lisa Fu, of Health Nail Salon Collaborative.
At issue are three chemicals known as the toxic trio. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) says exposure to these chemicals may cause cancer and birth defects among other health issues. "There's short term health effects such as rashes, watering eyes or coughing and wheezing," Fu said.
Many labels claim to be free of these chemicals, but in testing on a limited number of nail polish brands, the DTSC found not all are telling the truth. Now, the department is recommending that al manufacturers be required to disclose what's in their products. For salon owner Phuoc Dam, that's the only way to solve the problem. He says regardless, he has to provide the brands that his customers demand. "They need to tell us the truth so we can trust in them," Dam said.
As for the nail polish companies, they say the report lacks perspective and balance since it fails to mention that a small amount of these chemicals are allowed in formulations by the Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA).
In a statement, the Nail Manufacturer's Council said no maker should mislead its customers, but points out that nearly all of the nail polish industry voluntarily cut down the amount of toxic chemicals years ago.
Some people are now calling for a ban of these toxic chemicals so consumers won't have to worry about choosing which types of nail polish are less toxic.
Do you think there should be a ban on these chemicals? Do you worry about exposure to toxic polish? Leave your thoughts below.

It's Joe's mindset that's past it's prime....
He can't get it thru his thick head that this team needs to rid itself of all marginal NBA veteran talent, keep Monroe, and have a couple 18-23 win seasons, so they'll have a shot at infusing high-end talent in the Draft.
They are NOT gonna get anywhere drafting #7 thru #12 - with NO top-five pick. And Detroit's not a Free Agent destiny....so...they'll need to get their own Dereon Williams, Derrick Rose, John Wall, etc.
Having a top draft pick and a superstar fall into your lap wit a no brainer pick makes a lot of GMs look better than they really are.

Traffic took a variety of styles to create their sound, borrowing from Jazz, Blues, and the psychedelic movement of the late sixties. Each of the members had multi-instrument talent, but their greatest skill was writing the lyrics for their songs. Even if you never have heard of Traffic, you have heard their music. Such great songs appear on this album like, "Dear Mr. Fantasy," "Feelin' Alright," "Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys," and "Paper Sun." Traffic's very best stuff is on this compilation.
"Smiling Phases" is the perfect album to get the greatest hits of Traffic's career. If you are a fan of Winwood's or Capaldi's career, or the sound from the late sixties such as Clapton, The Who and Hendrix, this is a must for your collection. Here you can hear how Traffic shaped the future of music.

Kuhikugu, known to archaeologists as site X11, is the largest pre-Columbian town yet discovered in the Xingu region of the Amazon. It housed 1,000 or more people and served as the hub of a network of smaller towns.
Image: Luigi Marini
In Brief
- To most people, the Amazon forest is the quintessential case of pure nature slowly being destroyed as humans intrude.
- In fact, what seems pristine has itself been shaped by humans. In some areas the forest is secondary growth that took hold when native peoples were wiped out by their encounters with Europeans. The author and his colleagues have found extensive pre-Columbian ruins. Communities had a self-similar or fractal structure in which houses, settlements and clusters of settlements were organized in similar ways.
- Thus, the history of the Amazon is rather more interesting than usually thought. The environmental challenge is not only to preserve unspoiled wilderness but also to recover the techniques of sustainable farming and forestry that the ancestors of the region's present inhabitants developed.
When Brazil established the Xingu Indigenous Park in 1961, the reserve was far from modern civilization, nestled deep in the southern reaches of the vast Amazon forest. When I first went to live with the Kuikuro, one of the reserve's principal indigenous groups, in 1992, the park's boundaries were still largely hidden in thick forest, little more than lines on a map. Today the park is surrounded by a patchwork of farmland, its borders often marked by a wall of trees. For many outsiders, this towering green threshold is a portal, like the massive gates of Jurassic Park, between the present—the dynamic modern world of soy fields, irrigation systems and 18-wheelers—and the past, a timeless world of primordial nature and society.
Long before taking center stage in the world's environmental crisis as the giant green jewel of global ecology, the Amazon held a special place in the Western imagination. Mere mention of its name conjures images of dripping, vegetation-choked jungles; cryptic, colorful and often dangerous wildlife; endlessly convoluted river networks; and Stone Age tribes. To Westerners, Amazonian peoples are quintessential simple societies, small groups that merely make do with what nature provides. They have complex knowledge about the natural world but lack the hallmarks of civilization: centralized government, urban settlements and economic production beyond subsistence. In 1690 John Locke famously proclaimed, "In the beginning all the World was America." More than three centuries later the Amazon still grips the popular imagination as nature at its purest, home to native peoples who, in the words of Rolling Stone editor Sean Woods in October 2007, preserve "a way of life unchanged since the dawn of time."

Propositions 28 and 29—appearing on the June 5 primary ballot—have been criticized and supported across the Golden State.
Here's a breakdown.
Proposition 28 would reduce the number of years a lawmaker can serve in the state Legislature from 14 years to 12. However, it allows lawmakers to serve in the Assembly or Senate for 12 years. Currently, lawmakers can serve two four-year terms in the Senate or three two-year terms in the Assembly.
Who's supporting it: California League of Women Voters, California Chamber of Commerce, the California Democratic Party and the California Teachers Association. The main argument is that it allows lawmakers to become knowledgeable by allowing each to serve in the Senate or Assembly for 12 years each rather than eight and six.
Who's opposing it: California Tea Party Groups, the Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition and U.S. Term Limits. Jon Fleischman, vice chairman of the state Republican Party, has also been critical about the initiative. Critics have said the initiative is misleading as it reduces the overall time a lawmaker spends in state office.
What an expert says: San Diego State University political scientist James Ingram said the initiative allows lawmakers to develop an "institutional memory" rather than step through a "revolving door."
"It does make the amount of time in one house longer as opposed to spreading it across two houses," he said. Of course the federal level, where there aren't term limits, shows that it doesn't necessarily mean they'll do a good job."
Though political parties have taken a stance on the initiative, not every term limits initiative has had a long-term benefit for one particular party, Ingram says.
He said partisan connections have existed from the first argument for term limits although they don't always have a positive impact for one party in the long-term.
Ingram cites the example of term limits that allowed Republican Curt Pringle to become the first speaker of the Assembly although Democrats eventually regained control of the Legislature.
Proposition 29 would increase the tax on a pack of cigarettes from 87 cents to $1. The estimated $735 million revenue would be used for cancer and smoking research as well as tobacco law enforcement.
Who's supporting it: American Heart Association, American Lung Association and American Cancer Society, saying it would create a healthier and safer state.
Who's opposing it: Tobacco companies R. J. Reynolds and Philip Morris oppose the initiative.
What an expert says: UC San Diego political scientist Thad Kousser said this can be seen as a "regressive tax" though California's tax on cigarettes is less than those across the country. In fact, he said such laws are common in the United States.
Kousser also said proponents will have a tough time finding support
"In California, we've seen voters approve taxes that are earmarked and go toward feel-good purposes," he said. "But this is not a recipe for guaranteed success—this initiative has a tough task because there are more people against it."
What do you think of props 28 and 29? Tell us in comments.

Who doesn't love a good breakfast at Christmastime? Me too!
But it sure does make it hard to keep the diet under wraps when most of our yummy breakfast foods are loaded with calories.
Here's a healthy pancake recipe that my family loves. Instead of regular flour, it has whole wheat flour for added fiber. And instead of sugar, it uses honey as a natural sweetener. The original recipe comes from Taste of Home, but I've made a couple tweaks (as outlined below).
Cinnamon Apple Pancakes
2 cups whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (The original recipe calls for 1 teaspoon, but I always follow my mama's advice and double the cinnamon. :))
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2-1/2 to 3 cups fat-free milk (The original recipe calls for 2 cups, but it turned out a little too thick for our tastes. Feel free to experiment with whatever works for you.)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium apple, peeled, cored and chopped
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Combine the eggs, milk, honey and oil; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Add apple. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a hot nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
Makes 12 pancakes.
Nutrition facts per pancake: 123 calories, 2.5 g fat, 208 mg sodium, 21 g carbohydrate, 2.5 g fiber.
And if you want to try the yummiest holiday drink ever, check out Trader Joe's Candy Cane Green Tea! (Sorry for the blurry picture. I don't claim to be a professional photographer, folks. :))
If you follow me on Facebook, you may have seen my comment that I think they load this tea with crack because it is sooo good and addicting. So be forewarned…You might want to stock up when you buy this stuff.
What's your favorite pancake flavor? Do you have any holiday breakfast traditions? How about other meal traditions for Christmas?

GAITHERSBURG, MD, November 23rd, 1999 -- Lockheed Martin Mission Systems has enhanced its status as an employee-focused company with its leading score in a just-completed assessment of its workforce practices. The company attained a Level 3 rating in the Carnegie Mellon's People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM), a standard established to assess state-of -the-art workforce practices. It includes such areas as staffing, career development, performance management, training and communications. A Level 3 rating means that a company has reached a level of maturity in which its employees are active participants in decision making and in building their competencies. The rating also indicated that the company maintains an environment that encourages participatory behavior.
The rating for the Lockheed Martin unit follows another recently announced attainment for the corporation in Montgomery County, Md. The corporation was cited last week by the Montgomery Workforce Alliance as a "great place to work" because of its benefits programs and the provisions it makes to allow employees to better balance professional and work life.
Mission Systems last month also attained top ratings in two other capability assessments of its software engineering practices and systems engineering maturity. The company scored a Level 5 rating in the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) TM Capability Maturity Model (CMM) TM for Software, becoming the third Lockheed Martin company and one of only a handful in the world to earn the prestigious rating. It also scored a Level a Level 3 assessment in systems engineering against standards jointly developed by the International Council on System Engineering (INCOSE), the SEI and the Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA).
"I think this shows that we don't just talk about the importance of our intellectual assets--we put our beliefs into practice by encouraging employees to become more active and involved participants in shaping their own futures as well as our company's future," said company President Terry Drabant. "We believe that the markets in which we compete demand nothing short of the very best skills and that the way to get there is through identifying those competencies and doing the utmost to allow our employees to develop them. We know we have a lot yet to learn in improving our workforce practices, but it's reassuring to know that we've come as far as we have."
The PCMM assessment was undertaken under the direction of Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute staff who guided a team of company employees in undertaking the two-week long assessment.
The P-CMM model, like all the Carnegie Mellon maturity standards, has five set Levels. Level 2 for the P-CMM is described as "repeatable" and means that organizations have documented practices which are communicated and followed. Level 3, termed "defined" means that practices are tailored to assist in the attainment of business, that they are "institutionalized" in that they are understood and followed by the total organization and that employees have a participatory role in decision making and developing their skills. Only two companies have attained the Level 3 rating using the P-CMM standard, which has only recently been developed, and none have scored higher.
A leader in mission critical systems integration and information operations, Lockheed Martin Mission Systems serves customers including U.S. and international defense and civil government agencies. Mission Systems, a business unit of Lockheed Martin, employs approximately 3,800 and, in addition to Gaithersburg, Md. has major activities at facilities in Colorado, California and Virginia.

I'd say to encourage your sis to definitely apply for foodstamps. It sounds like they may qualify, of course you do need a permanant address and an RV in a parking lot won't do it but maybe help her apply and use your address (with approval of the FS office) since she won't have one.
I do think you dodged a bullet, in no time flat they would have worn out their welcome....

We're also getting new reports today that a federal grand jury is investigating a US senator.
Namely Democrat Robert Menendez.
As questions grow over what prosecutors are looking for in this pro.
The Democrat from New Jersey caught up any controversy involving his relationship.
With the wealthy friend in Miami Florida.
And I Doctor Who made some hefty donations to senator Menendez and the Democratic Party in the last election cycle.
That burns is a former federal prosecutor and -- the spirit now so now we have been told that a -- a federal grand jury is investigating.
The senate.
Yes and you have to remember there's two types of grand Ares one is in investigating -- and the others and indicting one that's an important distinction because the porn has.
In my view this is an investigating when they've subpoenaed certain documents.
And they are looking into -- whether or not the senator took actions on behalf of this individual actions that would benefit him.
Benefit his business.
In return for things of value things like you know vacation weekends lavish meals of -- you know gifts in kind.
And and the interesting thing is you have to break it out in my view between ethics violations -- a criminal violation.
What would -- much better to be subjected to the investigative trip a grand jury -- the indicting granted to sound scary no question about it and want to turn into the other.
-- a great question and one absolutely cancer and into the other some investigating Rangers we'll issue our report you know you're familiar with that.
-- and now indictment.
The other one can be converted and after months of investigation a federal prosecutor can walk in and say at this point we have a proposed indictment.
I would like to read -- the language goes through with -- but that's you know certainly well down the road.
What takes it to this level because up to now there have been reports that senator Menendez alleged the made use of -- -- -- solicited the services of prostitutes.
In the Dominican Republic something he absolutely deny -- And then but then this.
And they said that his friend -- doctor Melvin had hooked him up with those alleged prostitutes.
But but then there was a separate business of whether he was using his senatorial powers in a way -- was improper to help his there's the ophthalmologist has run the ophthalmologist.
Because up the mother's friend did him favors you know from what I don't know whether the prostitute -- shakes out or not but but donations and and other papers.
Well you're making a great point which is that very often an investigation starts looking at one thing and then once you're on a government radar screen meg and all of the sudden.
Something else may come across the screen now -- interestingly from a PR standpoint.
The senator seems to be at least initially latching onto.
Sort of -- -- thing so -- and if that's the right word which is.
The prostitution thing has no validity and by the way objective reports seem to somewhat confirm that so therefore neither does the other one.
But that doesn't -- one does not flow from the other and in point of fact.
It does seem to be some indication.
That the senator.
AA was involved in some type -- rule regulation or legislation that could potentially benefit this individual and -- that that individual himself.
Was under scrutiny.
Four billing practices with Medicare government -- And this is this is video of the FBI raid on doctor Melton is offices back in January yes and that -- a lot of people's attention because he's such good friends with senator Menendez and and some reporters started to dig deeper -- Miami Herald has been doing some work on this in the Washington -- And started to say -- what is the connection between these two men in its turns -- senator Menendez has puzzle that a lot of pushing for legislation that would help the good doctor here and the questions then became.
Why is he doing that and and whether there was anything improper I want to ask you this -- former federal prosecutor right.
What are the odds that the feds.
Give two -- about doctor -- -- I mean is that the kind of witness that they would try to sit down and say let me tell you mr.
ophthalmologist who wanted to become so big high roller.
In the Dominican Republic.
We're not that concerned about you but if we have a US senator in there -- looking for the big -- -- absolutely so they try to flip cam what do they do.
Yeah very possibly I mean that's the reality is is that you know it's like to contain him across the board so many senators.
Any -- public officials spend weekends.
At somebody's you know expensive home meals gifts in kind and then.
The point is once they then take some action on that person's behalf then -- Clearly have an ethical problem but whether it's a crime.
You know yeah.
Point -- a lot of these -- they have friends you know what do you what does senator Menendez just good friends with doctor Belgian.
And doctor -- has a nice pad the Dominican Republic right and Dino Menendez is admitted.
That he flew down in the corporate jet he shouldn't have -- reported that he tried to make good on what's he got caught.
But you know how do you do blood drop a line between where friends and we do nice things for each other because we're friends.
Verses he's biding by eight behavior as -- US.
Said I'm gonna break it down -- -- three examples example one is.
The person in Florida hosts -- for a -- -- -- -- out to dinner and the senator does absolutely nothing example too as he hosts and hasn't had dinner and then the senator makes a phone call.
On his behalf.
I'm using the weight and cloud of being a senator just throwing a call example three made to make -- four would be.
He tries to pass some federal legislation to benefit them and then four is a wiretap orders a clear link which is I'm gonna send -- 100000 dollars if you try to introduce this legislation that's gonna help me -- -- it's just a continuum Red Cross subordinate.
Well senator Menendez absolutely did introduce some legislation or are takes an official action on behalf of this man that would help this man.
But there's a question about whether there was a quid pro quo there and he says there -- many reasons for doing it was just to help a friend.
Any event the senator says every day more evidence emerges that the false smears against senator Menendez are nothing but an elaborate campaign.
Orchestrated by Republican political operatives and they claim his office does that they welcome any.
Review because sections have always -- appropriate Doug burns we shall see.
Okay because there are -- Little background for you on senator Menendez he has been a US senator since 2006 he was a member of the house between 93 in 06.
Before that he served two years as a senator in new Jersey's state senate and he was mayor of union city New Jersey for attack.

Save five bucks on Spanning Sync
For a couple of years now I've released a sync-able Bike Dates thingy on Google Calendar. All of the major bike events for 2008 are here. To update the list of dates I don't use Google, I use Spanning Sync, a nifty little Mac app that works like a dream.
If you use iCal to sync your dates to Google Calendar, you might be aware that Google recently released CalDAV support for Google Calendar. I've been playing with it, and have found it wanting in many areas. It's fiendishly difficult to set up and calendars synchronized using CalDAV become read-only on the iPhone.
To promote its superiority over CalDAV, Spanning Sync is promoting itself with a win-win discount offer. After a 15-day free trial period, Spanning Sync usually costs $25 a year, but you can save $5 by using my discount code if you decide to buy it: WRBTS8
If you use my code I'll get a $5 referral fee from Spanning Sync. Once you're a subscriber you'll get a referral code of your own to use. It's a pretty cool viral offer from a pretty cool little apps maker.

A repurposed NASA spacecraft swung past Comet Hartley 2 on November 4, snapping detailed photographs such as the one above from just hundreds of kilometers away. The flyby provided a detailed look at the comet and the shape of its nucleus, which a mission manager had earlier called "a cross between a bowling pin and a pickle" based on ground-based radar readings.
The EPOXI mission spacecraft and the comet were about 23 million kilometers from Earth at the time of the encounter. EPOXI is a repurposing of NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft, which in 2005 visited another icy, dusty body known as Comet Tempel 1. In that rendezvous Deep Impact not only got a good look at the comet but also released an impactor that slammed into the nucleus to probe its composition.
Initial analyses of the EPOXI flyby indicate that the actual distance between spacecraft and comet was close to the planned separation of about 700 kilometers, according to a NASA press release.
Fantastic photo. Any theories to explain that peculiarly smooth band around the middle? It looks like it was shaped on a lathe.

I'm just happy it isn't "potato-shaped" like nearly every non-spherical thing!

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhat does comet taste like?
I understand that the moon tastes like a gun that's been fired. Could it rather be that this smell is due to contamination by the rockets of the landers. Noting that moondust on earth does not smell.
However it would be interesting to taste moondust on earth as one might get some interaction with saliva from sub surface elements. Could it be that the chemistry is different on the moon given the propensity of sharp catalytic edges on dust, bathed in ultraviolet. Add in perhaps some accompanying electrostatic charge at specific nanoscale features and would we even recognize the resulting chemistry?
And moreover would we recognize the evolution of any life form resultant from this chemisty. Could a type of electrostatically based life form live within what is reported as inert 'moondust'.i.e. delocalised within the substance of the moon. Couls we identity components of such a life form in moondust on earth if we placed it within a similar environment to its home planet. eg try and observe the behavior of electrostatic charge or the dynamic behaviour od the dust at the atomic level using AFM etc.
WE do not know where our own consciousness derives from - so how could we know the consciousness of another life form?
Peter Reynolds
Drawing a tiny amount of background in this area, I would suggest that this comet started out as a molten or semi-molten blob, developed a pockmarked surface, and then was spun fast enough (by the gravitational pull of a passing object, perhaps?) to be stretched apart by its rotation into two sections, leaving the younger and smoother interior portion holding the two sections together. This would also explain the narrowing of the link toward the center, like a kind of cosmic taffy.

This looks a little like a bar magnet with a dusting of iron filings. Maybe this asteroid exhibits magnetism or perhaps this is an electric field?

Astronomers might as well claim Gibraltar is an asteroid, as this monolith, which is a statue of FACES. I believe this is the MASTHEAD and civic center of Nibiru, the sometimes-present planet.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe same spam has been posted to my comments three times now. There is nothing but contempt to confront here. Let it so be that NASA will confront nothing but contempt where it has strewn violence and bloodshed in the name of "science." Amen.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisFriends and Folks, it looks as if I'm a pure idiot, because I put up links, they don't work, I put up corrections, but then it looks as if I'm putting up the same stuff over and over. What the moderator isn't telling you is that after each of my postings, somebody puts up a spam advert for merchandise. So, I complain, SciAmer takes it down and leaves my naked posts, without any responses whatsoever. It's a game, because they don't want their scientistic dogma contradicted. That is not a peanut-shaped asteroid. It's ATTACHED TO A LARGE SPHERE, which in the original photos is unlit. Please notice however, that the Peanut IS ARTIFICIALLY LIT! And there's a whole PLAZA around it, which the photographing entity didn't bother to notice. Piffle.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisHaving taken Earth science, I can make plenty of guesses that are probably wrong but more plausible than "NASA lies" about why that asteroid has a smooth part. Any rock that breaks apart will have extremely smooth surfaces where it broke, almost glass-like smoothness. We broke rocks in class just to demonstrate this fact. Also, it'd be smooth if anything else crashed into it, the smooth part of the asteroid might be an impact crater of some sort.
About bar magnets and the asteroid being part of a whole planet... all I'm going to say is stop eating paint chips.
I RE-developed the photos, and you can see a civil plaza below spreading out into a sphere. You want to accuse me of eating paint chips? Wow. Contempt for skill is not Science. Look at the damned photos in color. Duh!
Or what was left from a neutron star thats accumulated some corrosion since it was knocked off balance. It almost appears to have a bi-polar shape to it like magnetized bars do, one north, one south.
There is no "real science" here, just scientistic dogma.
That "asteroid," artificially lit, is attached to a larger sphere. Duh!
Where did you get access to the original photos, and how do you 'redevelop' a photo?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisDoes NASA have any theory about what this is? Assuming it is not a fake, it really looks like a spherical mass stretched out by rotation into two sections, with the smooth middle being where the newly exposed material hasn't yet had time to accumulate many impacts from space debris. Why does everyone (well, someone, repeated over and over) need so desperately to believe it is a faked picture? What would that accomplish? An attempt to get people to rent storefront space in the plaza?

loyola maroon March 23,1973 VoI.XLIX No. 21 Student leaders critical of program By ANNE WITTE and JOAN QUINTERS Soclml commitment workshop* under etteck commented Pat Beauchamp, senior law student. Rayhawk said the first planning committee meeting for the workshops was mishandled. "Actually, nobody at the meeting knew exactly why he was there. The problem of Loyola's social commitment to the city was discussed. Everyone there agreed there is a problem; but nobody could agree on what the problem is," he said. However, the Rev. David Boileau, Director ot the Institute of Human Relations, said the planning committee was already working with three "givens" that couldn't be ignored; the Loyola goals statement, the Bishop's Synod statement and the New Orleans Goals to Grow statement. From the goals of social commitment Dissatisfied student leaders have criticized the planning and organization of the Social Commitment Workshops being held this weekend- to determine Loyola's commitment to the New Orleans community. Complaints have ranged from mismanagement to lack of student input and ambiguity of the program itself. "I've got nothing against the program...but I don't know exactly what it is the program expects to accomplish," said Bob Rayhawk, SGA president and one of the students who served on the planning committee for the workshops. "The whole thing is too limited in scope and did not begin with a thorough analysis of the whole student situation," already outlined in these documents, a method needs to be devised on how to get Loyola involved with these goals and how to produce the desired effect, he said. Besides the ambiguities in the program, students also voiced concern over the seeming lack of student input into designing a plan billed as a cooperative university commitment. "Students are more like token support to the entire operation. It's being billed as a cooperative university effort for social commitment, but I don't see where the student's are cooperating in any form proportionally equal to the part taken by faculty members and the administration," said Aly Colon, editor of Red Beans and Rice. "Students are being railroaded into this," he continued. At the second meeting of the planning committee, Fr. Boileau "miraculously" produced a tentative schedule for the workshops, according to several of the dissatisfied students. "There was hardly any discussion. The whole program was already laid out for us," Rayhawk complained. "Pat O'Keefe (freshman law student) objected for awhile, but Fr. Blileau immediately put him down and simply turned to the next question," Rayhawk said. Pat O'Keefe maintained that students had as much say in drawing up the program as anyone else on the planning committee. "The first meeting was devoted to obtaining topics for discussion at the workshops. Fr. Boileau asked me to take Field House third on list of priorities by BRIAN KENSEL This is the fourth in a series examining Loyola 's sports facilities. The administration of Loyola has placed the construction of two facilities before plans for a new Field House, according to Fr. James C. Carter S.J., university provost. 'There are two front runners," said Fr. Carter. "We need a Fine Arts and Communications building, a bigger library, and then a Field House." The provost, in conjuction with the university president and board of directors, makes the decisions on such capital improvements on campus. Fr. Carter added that it is possible that a larger library will be unnecessary. If Loyola relies heavily on microfilm in the future, the present facility would be sufficiently large, as the microfilm would require much less space than books, said Fr. Carter. The greatest difficulty in planning a new Field House is the financing, said Fr. Carter. It is a lack of money that forces priorities to be set. "If we had the money for all three, we could find the room," he added. "Wouldt Lose Anything" The existing Field House was constructed in 1954 at a cost of approximately $500,000. For its 19 years of use, this facility has cost roughly $26,000 per year, plus annual maintenance. "If we tore it down today we would not lose anything," said Fr. Carter, "the building has amortized (paid for) itself already. Therefore, we should be able to spend some money to keep it up.'f Other university officials see shortcomings in Fr. Carter's suggestions. Jim Mains, director of intramurals, said "As a professional, it's hard for me to justify pumping money into the renovation of this facility (the Field House). This building is simply outdated." Carter agrees to the inadequacy of the present athletic facilities, but says that since money is not available for ail of the improvements needed on campus, priorities must be made. As an entirely new building cannot be presently afforded, he feels money channeled into the restoration of the Field House would help the situation. "I do feel a desperate need for athletic facilities here," Fr. Carter said. Other Facilities Fr. Carter would also like to see money invested in other athletic facilities such as tennis courts and a swimming pool. "Probably the best use of the money we have is to build outdoor facilities," he said. An outdoor swimming pool would be better suited to Loyola's needs, according to Fr. Carter, than would an indoor facility. "You will have some people who swim 30 or 40 laps a day for exercise, but most students will just get wet and want to sit on the side in the sun." he explained. Fr. Carter said he sees no reason "why we couldnt put tennis courts on the roof of Danna Center." He also mentioned the possibility of tennis courts replacing the parking lot alongside the back quadrangle. In this case, the area in front of the Field House facing on Freret St. would become a parking lot to replaci the lost spaces. Opposition Vincent P. Knipfing, dean of studeni affairs, maintains that construction oi athletic facilities in the quadrangle between the dormitories" could seriously affect the quality of life in the residence halls." Noise from those students using the facilities could disturb" the residents, contends Knipfing. "Also there are so few grass areas on campus, I'd like to see the quad all covered with grass for playing purposes," added Knipfing. "Personally, I'm pretty much opposed to putting anything permanent in the quad." This opposition includes opposition to tennis courts or a pool. Other campus sources oppose outdoor facilities on the basis of theii maintenance and supervision costs. Maintenance for an outdoor pool, for example, is estimated to be $10,000 annually, as compared with an approximate maintenance cost of $2,000 per year for an indoor facility. Added security measures would have to be taken in the case of an outdoor pool to prevent small children from nearly schools from falling into the pool. Loyola officials have considered the roof of Danna Center as a possible location for tennis courts. Results show that the air ducts serving the building would have to be totally rerouted, and the roof would require extra structural support to accomodate the weight of tennis courts. Unless a revision of priorities is forthcoming, Loyola will have to continue using the present athletic facilities for several years.

All I have to say is I had a 360 and within 2 months i started getting the red ring of death. the 360 sucks! thats why there has already been ~4 different hardware version AND they are planning a smaller cpu within a year! I played bioshock on pc last night for frist time on a sony 36' hdtv at 720p with all features turned up in game and had a rock solid 60fps. I know the 360 can't do that, every game I played on it there would be a few parts where the fps would get choppy....driver issuses with this game?..none for me....as long as you know what your doing you won't have any problems and I gotta laugh at people saying that the 8800gtx will go out of date in a few months. sure they might come out with a new card but that 8800 will run games well for 2+ years...guys its gonna be a looooooong time before directx 11 comes outs!!!
pc - 1

Unlike pipe organs, Bob Campbell is low maintenance.
When he sings in the choir at Christ Episcopal Church, in Bradenton, he stands in the back so no one will notice him. In the summer, when St. Martha's Catholic Church calls him to fix a bent pipe, he makes sure he arrives exactly on time and as early as possible.
"Because," Campbell says, "it would be a shame to air condition a big, old church when no one is inside."
Campbell, 66, has spent more than half his life fixing and tuning Sarasota church organs. He's used to working by himself in holy, silent spaces. He's efficient and sensible, straightforward and polite.
"It's a good occupation," Campbell says of the job. "It's a good feeling to have a problem and to be able to sort it out."
A former Navy man, Campbell learned the trade when he was stationed in Charleston, S.C. He liked to tinker, and he was good at fixing cars, so when a friend asked if he'd be willing to look at an organ in a tiny Lutheran church, he said, "Sure, why not?"
It was an Austin organ, manufactured by one of the oldest-and-largest, pipe-organ companies in the country. Campbell, who took a year-and-a-half of classes at Florida Southern College, in Lakeland, before joining the U.S. Navy, was well versed in electronics and a natural mechanic. He was perfect for the job.
When he got out of the service seven years later, he decided to pursue the career full-time, and when he returned to Bradenton in the 1980s, he was one of the only mechanics in Sarasota who could service the complicated and old-fashioned instruments.
"Tuning 'em is real easy," says Campbell, who can name the make and year of almost every organ in Sarasota and Manatee counties. "If you have average hearing, you can tune an organ."
The majority of his repair work entails replacing old leather parts and repairing pitted magnetic and electrical contacts inside the keyboard. Most of the organs he works on date back farther than 1985 and have mechanical switching.
"If I can convince a church to convert to electrical switching, I will," Campbell says. "It's much more reliable, unless there's lightning. Lightning is a bugaboo for electronics."
He keeps a daily record of every church he visits in his BlackBerry. The database is long and complicated and includes the addresses and contact information for more than 400 churches up and down the state, including First United Methodist Church, on Pineapple Avenue; St. Boniface Church, on Siesta Key; First Presbyterian Church, on Oak Street; First Baptist Church, on Main Street; and Church of the Redeemer, on Palm Avenue.
Up until 10 years ago, Campbell, who grew up on a dairy farm in East Manatee County, was logging 50,000 miles a year servicing churches from Key West to Pensacola, but these days he works less and mainly sticks to local churches. He's got an apprentice now, a firefighter from Clearwater, who he hopes will take over the business in the next few years.
"I no longer go around rustling up the bushes for work," says Campbell, whose favorite organ is in a tiny chapel inside a Naples retirement community.
Ironically, Campbell never learned to play the instrument — not even "Chopsticks."
"These are mechanic's hands," he snickers. "I decided in my life I'm OK with letting other people play."
• Pipe-organ stops control the airflow blowing through the pipes. Pulling out a stop will increase volume, pitch and timbre.
• The expression "pulling out all the stops" stems from the act of pulling out all the stops in a pipe organ.
• Pipe organs used to operate via a system of cumbersome levers running from the keys and pedals up to the pipes. This style of organ has since been revived as a tracker-action-style organ. St. Martha's Catholic Church in downtown Sarasota has one.
• The pipe organ's continuous supply of wind allows it to sustain notes for as long as a key is held, unlike a piano or harpsichord.

Sean Locklear's NFL season may be over because of a knee injury suffered in Monday night's New York Giants-Washington game.
USA Today reported that Locklear, a Lumberton native and N.C. State product, will miss the rest of the season after being hurt in the fourth quarter of the 17-16 loss.
The nine-year veteran, the Giants' starting right tackle, was injured when a player fell onto the lower half of Locklear's right leg. Locklear had to be carted off the field, and coach Tom Coughlin said afterward, "It's a knee. It's a knee."
According to USA Today, preliminary tests indicated a torn anterior cruciate ligament at minimum. The team, however, only referred to Locklear's injury as a "severe knee sprain."

Monopoly Box
In my ever present need to make large toys out of small plastic toys, I present the Monopoly game box out of LEGO bricks. I had discussed building this for someone, but they eventually decided against it. I had spent some time planning it so I decided to put it together for fun. And what fun it was. The box is about four feet wide and three feet high. There are over 5,000 white pieces alone.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Gunshots rang out from the upscale mall in Kenya's capital this morning, the day after the president declared an end to a four-day siege by Islamic militants.
Government spokesman Manoah Esipisu told Associated Press the shots came from Kenyan forces going room to room in the large Westgate Mall, firing protectively before entering unknown territory.
"During sanitization once you take control of the place if you go to a room where you haven't visited before you shoot first to make sure you aren't walking into an ambush," he said. "But there hasn't been any gunfire from the terrorists for more than 36 hours."
But a top security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said even around the time President Uhuru Kenyatta told the nation in a televised address that "we have ashamed and defeated our attackers" on Tuesday night, three shots rang out at the mall.
He said Kenyan authorities are still trying to determine where those shots came from.
Meanwhile, the Kenyan government said forensic experts from the United States, Britain and Israel would be assisting them in their investigation of the attack.
"The mall is sealed off, it is a crime scene," Esipisu said.
The process of retrieving bodies from inside the mall still had not begun Wednesday morning -- possibly indicating that the situation was not yet considered secure -- though a city morgue official said his workers were preparing to go into the building soon.
The attack claimed by Somali militant group al-Shabab killed at least 61 civilians, six security officers and five extremists, the president said. Three floors of the mall collapsed, and at least one more militant's body is believed to be buried in the rubble. Officials said the death count will likely rise. Estimates varied between only a few bodies to dozens of bodies possibly still inside the mall.
Another 175 people were injured, including more than 60 who remain hospitalized.
Fears persisted that some of the attackers could still be alive and loose inside the rubble of the mall, a vast complex that had shops for retailers like Bose, Nike and Adidas, as well as banks, restaurants and a casino.
A high-ranking security official involved in the investigations said it would take time to search the whole mall before declaring that the terrorist threat had been crushed. That official insisted on anonymity in order to discuss information not publicly disclosed.
Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning beginning today.
Eleven other suspects have been taken into custody, but Esipisu would not comment on what information they may have given to authorities.
"At this at this point the interrogations are ongoing and I can't reveal any of the details, "he said.
Al-Shabab, whose name means "The Youth" in Arabic, first began threatening Kenya with a major terror attack in late 2011, after Kenya sent troops into Somalia following a spate of kidnappings of Westerners inside Kenya.
The al-Shabab extremists stormed the mall on Saturday, throwing grenades and firing on civilians.
The group used Twitter throughout the four-day siege to say that Somalis have been suffering at the hands of Kenyan military operations in Kenya, and the mall attack was revenge.
"You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety," the group Tweeted Tuesday. "Remove your forces from our country and peace will come."
The militants specifically targeted non-Muslims, and at least 18 foreigners were among the dead, including six Britons, as well as citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China. Five Americans were among the wounded.
American officials have not confirmed the deaths of any U.S. citizens, but a U.S. Embassy vehicle, identifiable by its numbered diplomatic license plate, arrived at the morgue on Tuesday. It appeared possible the morgue visit was by security officials with an agency like the FBI who were seeking information about one of the bodies inside.
The mall attack was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 al-Qaida truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, which killed more than 200 people.
Security officials in Nairobi always knew that Westgate, which was popular with foreign residents of the capital as well as tourists and wealthy Kenyans, was a likely target for terror attacks.
