Bristol Palin Won't Rule Out Running For Office
First Published: June 15, 2012 10:47 AM EDT Credit: Getty Premium
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- President Bristol Palin?
Former Alaska governor-turned-reality star/political pundit Sarah Palin hasn't made it to the White House yet, but there's another Palin with possible political aspirations.
While promoting her Lifetime reality TV series, "Life's a Tripp," on Thursday on Fox News, Bristol Palin was asked about possibly following in her mother's footsteps and running for office one day.
"I don't think I'd shut it (word missing? Out?) completely yet," she told Sean Hannity. "I'm only 21, but not any time soon."
The single mother, who had son Tripp with Playgirl model Levi Johnston, would not chime in on whether her mother would seek office once again.
"We all have tough skin. We're all strong. Our roots are very grounded," she said. "Whatever she does, we're going to support her."
Bristol did express remorse over Levi's alleged lack of involvement in his son's life, saying she was "sad that Tripp doesn't have an active father figure."
Her "Life's a Tripp," has yet to air (the series debuts on June 19 on Lifetime), but the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant appears to already have some regrets surrounding the show.
"If I would have known it was my own name and so much in my life is gonna be shown on this show, I think I would reconsider it and think about it more," she explained.

US Financial Trust of America Claims Phony Tucson Address, Misleads Consumers trying to sell their Timeshares
Monday, October 3rd, 2011Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona is warning timeshare owners not to do business with U.S. Financial Trust of America- a company claiming a fictitious Tucson address- which is scamming timeshare owners across the country.
BBB has received three complaints alleging that US Financial Trust contacted them via telephone, claiming that they had found buyers for the consumers' timeshares. Consumers say that US Financial Trust told them that they would charge an opening and closing fee for the sales of the properties, then wire payment for the properties into the consumers' bank accounts. In each case consumers tell BBB that the company disappeared after they had paid the opening and closing fees.
Kenneth Anderson, a consumer from Illinois, told BBB that U.S. Trust Financial called him on a daily basis for weeks with new details about a supposed deal to sell his timeshare, but once he paid the fees with a credit card he never heard from the company again.
A Tennessee consumer paid US Trust Financial over $5,000 in fees for the supposed sale of five (more…)

New research shows Catholic majority now likely in Northern Ireland - New figures show trend is continuing and now inevitable

There has been a clear and inexorable pattern of Catholic population increasing while the Protestant population declines.
However, Moriarty presents it in a new and stark way and asks several critical questions.
Key of course is what will the upcoming Catholic majority mean for Northern Ireland?
But first to the facts and figures.
Moriarty opens his column by saying:
"The British and Irish governments and the people of Northern Ireland are facing the prospect – and sooner than most people might think – of how to manage a transformed constitutional situation where the majority in the North are likely to be from a Catholic background."
He goes on:
"The figures are revealed in the statistics: there are now significantly more Catholics than Protestants in nursery, primary, second- and third-level education in Northern Ireland. If that trend continues, and it's difficult to see a reason why it should not, then in another generation or so the majority population should be Catholic or from a Catholic background – people of voting age, most of whose immediate antecedents are nationalist in their political outlook.

He pointed out that figures from Northern Ireland's Department of Education for 2010/11 show 120,415 Protestants and 163,693 Catholics in the North's schools.
Those figures that is a breakdown of 57.6 per cent Catholic, 42.4 per cent Protestant.....figures for 2009/10 obtained from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show that at university level the trend has continued
"In total... at third level there are 20,995 students (59.3 per cent) from a Catholic background and 14,410 (40.7 per cent) from a Protestant background." Moriarty writes
In the 2001 census the figures showed Protestants at 53.1 per cent and Catholics at 43.8 per cent. The 2011 census is expected to show that gap is much narrower.By the 2021 census the change will be dramatic
In the last election 48 per cent voted for Unionist parties and 42 per cent for nationalists. The rest voted cross community, mainly Alliance.
Of course, there is no certainty that Catholics would vote for a United Ireland, indeed, many say they would not.
However, with Scotland trembling on the edge of major devolution and conceivably outright independence, the old United Kingdom is not what it once was.
One could say the same about the Irish Republic of course, and many Catholics, now that they share power in Northern Ireland would hardly want to join up with a country in the throes of a terrible economic malaise.
But how a Catholic majority would work out is unpredictable. But it seems certain that it will happen within a generation.
The Protestant state for a Protestant people created against the wishes of Catholics corralled in 1921 into the new state may find itself on the ash heap in the future.
As Yeats might have said, All changed, changed utterly.

I use the term
Eire/Ireland to show respect for Irish which is the first official language as describe in Bunreacht na hEireann (Constitution of Ireland) and the language of choice for those Irish families that love and take pride in the Irish language. And for the fact that Eire/Ireland is a bilingual country with English being the first language or language of choice for other Irish families.
I don't use the term British Isles myself. Eire/Ireland is independent from what I call Britain or UK for the country made up of Alba/Scotland, Cymru/Wales, Kernow/Cornwall, Ellan/Vannin/Isle of Man, England, the various Channel Islands (Jersey, Sark, etc.)

If the pre-Norman Irish independent state was aligned with Rome who were the Vatican appointed bishops? The Irish church was appointing it's own bishops as do the copts today.The "Celtic" church had a commonality with the orthodox church in liturgy and feast days.

A new relationship between the nations of the British Isles is slowly emerging. The dominance of the English is being replaced with a growing mutual respect for all the nations in our isles. It will be fascinating to watch this process unfold.

It has been accepted in Ireland for many years that this demographic reversal, whether it happens sooner or later, will not necessarily lead to a unified Ireland because, even before the recent economic collapse of the Republic, many Catholic Northerners had Unionist rather than Nationalist political preferences, despite all the killing and propaganda to the contrary by the IRA gangsters.

Gearoid, Where did I say that the pre-Norman Irish Church had "no connection to Rome"? I wasn't implying that it was somehow a completely autonomous entity, but it was obviously doing its own thing enough (which you conceded) to provide at least superficial justification for the 1155 papal bull, which was intended to (among other things) bring the Irish Church under more direct control. But I didn't use the word "isolated", and I certainly didn't use the loaded term "Celtic", so there's not really any "notion" that you need to "relieve" me of.

@AMWilson, There was no separate 'Celtic' Irish Catholic Church before the Norman Invasion. Experts who study the early centuries of Irish Christianity will relieve you of the notion that there was a completely isolated "Church" within these Islands with no connection to Rome. It is generally accepted that although there was some superficial differences regarding customs and the dating of Easter etc, the Irish Church was an integral part of the Latin Church in Europe.

Please FallsRNat, do not use that old Canard about the Catholic Church spreading so much misery because of Her stand against contraception and condoms in relation to AIDs. There is a general pattern of countries experiencing a fall in demographics below the standard set for fertility replacement levels. Contraception involves the dubious disconnection between the loving union of the couple and the sexual act which God had ordained in His Natural Law. It means that a couple ignores the will of Christ in His Laws. Also the Church is at the forefront of efforts to combat AIDs in sub-Saharan Africa and other places. Thus Church organizations are best placed to tell what is best for those who are effected by it. African prelates and priests will tell you that over-reliance on condoms without any other measures has failed to halt the epidemic. The main cause of the spread of this terrible condition is the amoral behavior of those who indulge in risky behavior with multiple partners.
Seamomelbourne, Read Matthew 16:19 where Peter was unambiguously given the keys of authority to lead the Church in Christ's absence through the symbol of the Keys.
Barneyjo, you make some interesting and thoughtful points in your usual articulate and effective way.

Ciaradexty, too, she told us she has a chronological age of 35, but her mental age is clearly about a fifth of that. Even though our Church would not encourage it, her resolution not to have children is something we all appreciate.

text: For Rossella Rago '09C, Italian food is more than just mouth-watering entrees and scrumptious desserts. It's about a rich cultural heritage, a way of remembering the small towns and villages of Italy and uniting multiple generations of Italians. Or, to use her words, "It's all about family."This charismatic young alumna puts this philosophy into practice in her weekly Internet series, Cooking with Nonna. In each "webisode," Rossella teaches viewers how to cook a traditional homemade Italian meal with the help of Italian grandmothers, including her very own nonna. Each installment of the series features a different nonna and provides interviews and features on what it was like for these women to grow up in America as immigrants or first-generation Italian-Americans. It's an endearing concept that gives the show an authentic charm. Always curious about Italian culture, Rossella graduated from St. John's with a B.A. in Italian Literature and was a dedicated member of the Italian Cultural Society. Her love of her native culture fueled her desire to create an Italian cooking show. "We came up with the series when I was an undergraduate at St. John's," Rossella said. "I had been watching a lot of cooking shows at the time just for fun. So one day after dinner, my dad asked me what I was planning to do for a career. I half-jokingly suggested, 'Why not host an Italian cooking show?' He thought about it and replied, 'You know, we can probably make that happen.'" Rossella's father took the idea seriously. He and Rossella began developing the show in 2008, establishing the concept and hiring a production company. The Cooking with Nonna website and series launched in June 2009 and has grown a steady following ever since, with close to 26,000 fans on Facebook alone. The show's premise came naturally to Rossella. She has always had a strong relationship with her grandmother, made even stronger during her time as a student at St. John's. Her parents moved to New Jersey when she was younger, so Rossella lived with her nonna in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn during her years at St. John's in order to make her commute to campus easier."It was so much fun living with her," Rossella said. "My grandmother cooks every day, so I ate really well during college. Talk about a freshman 15," she joked. "Every day was all about cooking, all about food, and my nonna made it seem so natural. In my culture, all girls cook – you just can't be Italian if you don't!" In addition to profiling these interesting Italian grandmothers, Cooking with Nonna also allows Rossella to address a serious problem she's found with most of today's cooking shows: authenticity. "Cooking programs these days just don't focus on real Italian food," she noted. "I try to provide a more authentic view of Italian cuisine, focusing on the small villages and towns, all of which have their own rich culture. A lot of people who travel to Italy typically go to Rome, Florence and Venice. But our show goes into the real Italy, the tiny towns where the majority of immigrants actually came from. I want Cooking with Nonna to teach viewers that there's so much more to Italian cooking than just chicken parm and spaghetti." Rossella's parents immigrated to America from Mola di Bari, located in Puglia at the heel of the Italian boot. Primarily a fishing village, Mola di Bari is known for its Chicory and Penne with Fava Beans – dishes that Rossella made sure to tackle in the very first episode of Cooking with Nonna. Adding to her impressive resume, Rossella has also starred in an episode of Food Network's 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, a reality-based cooking competition. The show challenged Rossella to turn a blank space into a restaurant in only 24 hours, forcing her to develop and execute the décor, concept and dishes. Joined by her mother and grandmother (calling themselves Team Nonna), Rossella was victorious in the competition, making for one of the most memorable shows in the series' history. "The Food Network episode was so much fun," Rossella said. "We had a screening of it at St. John's this past fall as part of Italian Heritage Month, and my mom and nonna came with me. Students and professors watched the episode, and then we cooked the food from the show for everyone to try. It was a great time." Rossella hopes to see Cooking with Nonna grow in the near future, complete with books and television appearances. But regardless of the show's success, Rossella considers herself especially fortunate for being able to work alongside her nonna and other Italian grandmothers. "I interview these grandmothers in the show, and their stories are truly incredible," she said. "They've taught me a lot about being a woman – primarily that even if you're older, you still have so much to offer to the world. You have no expiration date." Check out Cooking with Nonna online every week to learn authentic Italian recipes straight from an Italian grandmother, or become a fan of Rossella on Facebook.

Or, for
Once upon a time, before art sorted itself out as a category for me, I would be taken to the Los Angeles County Art Museum by my parents. They would drag me through the galleries of 1960's masterpieces, and then we would go outside and I would climb on concrete replicas of giant ground sloths. Tar pits, concrete animals, and the county art museum merged into an idea that art, while serious, was properly something to play on.
In the early eighties I was designing sets and costumes for dance companies, and painting little paintings in an apartment in New York City. My images were full of dancing figures and urban grids. One day, I put the two together. It is great to have a quiet place to concentrate and think, well organized with all your tools at hand. But outside, the rest of the contiguous world becomes part of the work, and the work part of the world.
I was hooked on working out there - in prisons, woodlots, abandoned buildings, community centers, on refridgerators, public transit, baby lima beans... Nearly twenty years later I got a masters degree in landscape architecture (Harvard GSD, 2002). My capacities and curiosities had expanded; I wanted to know, in practical ways, how things are put together and why the spaces we live in look as they do. Now I work across these two approaches – art and design – using both toolboxes, testing each through the lens of the other.
Everyday life should be infused with art - the grace of things well done, the folly that exceeds practical solutions, the true potency and depth of the things which surround and support our lives. By integration with our environment, art projects can share with other activities the refinement and conceptual complexity of art. An everyday experience becomes a rich circumstance, rewarding interactions, encouraging sensitivity and openness, empathy and generosity.
The images in my work are drawn from local circumstances and are tailored in scale and material to harmonize and amplify their contexts. Acting like seed crystals, they provoke the thoughts of viewers, who then extend the meaning of the artwork in their own perceptions and activities.
My natural curiosity leaves me open to many things but fundamentally my passion is for culture. What do I mean by that? the path by which patterns and meanings are married to physical things; how objects are at the same time also processes; why close attention to the crafts of building and the courtesies of interaction is both necessary and useful. In a world of nationalist and individualist icons my interest is in something more fluid and negotiable: the gratifications and insights of sharing and doing work with others.

Kick off 19:45 BST at Ricoh Arena
England - Gibbs 22' Richards 29' Carroll 54',87' Hines 67',90'
Macedonia - Muarem 42' Ibraimi 53' Gibbs 58'(og)
Jamie Bradbury at Ricoh Arena
England were made to work hard for the three points at Coventry, but finally finished off Macedonia in a nine-goal spectacle that saw the visitors come back from behind twice. Stuart Pearce's side began their third Euro 2011 Group Nine Qualifier in a 3-5-2 formation, and looked to have seen off the early challenge when Kieran Gibbs and Micah Richards put them two up inside half an hour. But the plucky Macedonians responded twice to pull level, then did it again after Andy Carroll made it 3-2.. However, when Zavon Hines, on his debut made it four, it began an onslaught of the Macedonia goal that saw Hines and Carroll both bag braces – their first goals for the Under-21s. Macedonia started in the same vein as a month ago, and were inspired, not over-awed, by the occasion at Coventry. And the main protagonist was once again the no. 10, Agim Ibraimi, who hit their goal in the previous encounter in Prilep. He came close on a couple of occasions, a free-kick from 25 yards that was beaten out by Loach, low to his right. Then another chance inside the area with Michael Mancienne tracking him, but the Olimpija man dragged his shot wide. But it was The Three Lions who took the lead midway through the first half. Theo Walcott was knocked through into space inside the box. His first touch took him past goalkeeper Kristijian Naumovski to the by-line, but it was too tight for the shot. Instead, Walcott clipped towards the far post where Gibbs was waiting to nod over the last defender and in. They doubled their lead soon after. A corner from Wilshere was flicked on at the near post and captain Micah Richards was there with a powerful close-range header. At 2-0, Macedonia looked shell-shocked, but just before half-time, Muarem Muarem struck a free-kick from the right that found its way past Loach to give them a glimmer of hope. Walcott was forced off at half-time with a dead-leg, but it gave Hines, who spent a month on loan at the Ricoh Arena in 2008, the chance to win his debut. Carroll almost toe-poked a shot home on the turn just after the break, but found the netting. He was soon to find the net, though, but not before Macedonia had levelled. A ball into the feet of Ibraimi sent him on his way. A Mancienne slip gave the forward time and space, and he coolly knocked past Loach, despite a good attempt at the save. But parity was only restored for 60 seconds when Gibbs showed wonderful strength on the left hand side, losing his man before crossing to the near post. Carroll beat keeper Naumovksi to the ball and flicked into the net with his head. It was a very busy night for Gibbs, as three minutes later in his own area, a Macedonian corner was delivered from the right and the Arsenal man stretched out a leg to block the cross. He could do nothing but look on as the ball ricocheted through a crowded six-yard box beyond Loach and in to the net. Richards and Carroll both came close to putting England back in front, but a point-blank save from Naumovski and a referee's whistle denied them both. Pearce reverted his team back to the familiar 4-4-2, with Hines joining Carroll in attack, and within minutes the West Ham striker justified the switch. Jack Wilshere played a short pass to Tom Cleverley and he rolled through the defence giving Hines something to run onto. One on one, he had Carroll and Rose in support, but decided to take the shot on, and did very well, slotting past the Rabotnicki stopper to put England back in charge. With ten minutes to go, Pearce's men should have sealed the game. Hines wound up for a shot from 15 yards and slipped, knocking the ball into the path of Wilshere. He danced round the defence, dinking past Naumovski towards Carroll, but a boot from Dimitrovski cleared. It fell kindly to Hines, just ten yards out and he rifled towards goal. The impressive Naumovski made another strong, close-range save forcing over the bar. England were now camped out in the Macedonian box, knocking and knocking for a fifth. It finally came, via the boot of Carroll with four minutes to go. The Newcastle United striker was given time to turn on the penalty spot after a cross from Cleverley and he picked his spot, rolling past the stranded Naumovski and inside the post. There was one more in the pipeline though as Macedonia crumbled. Hines again, unmarked six yards from goal was picked out by a lofted pass from Carroll and he made it look easy, tucking away for England's sixth of the night.

ALBANY, GA -- Leaving on a jet plane from Albany will be a new experience in the near future!
City leaders and even U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss broke ground on what will be the new commercial passenger terminal at the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport.
Director Yvette Aehle says it will definitely make an impact on those flying into the Good Life City.
"We're the first impression that people see when they come to Albany and I'm thrilled this new design and this new terminal will show us as a more progressive, modern community that loves its airport and we're thrilled about that," says Aehle.
The $10.8 million project will employ around 400 people.
The facility will be ready next June.

Sen. Johnson Announces $460,000 in Housing Grants for Indian Country
On April 3, the Pine Ridge and Lake Traverse reservations received news that they would be receiving $466,390 as part of a $1.9 million grant package for housing rehabilitation and improvement that was announced by Senator Tim Johnson (D-S.D.), chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
"These funds will have a real impact in Indian country, helping families rehabilitate their homes and build a stronger and safer future for their communities," Johnson said.
The Sisseton Wahpeton Housing Authority will receive $300,000 to help 30 homeowners on the Lake Traverse Reservation according to a press release from Johnson's office. The recipients, all tribal members, will receive assistance in either making structural repairs or improving accessibility.
Oglala Sioux Lakota Housing in Pine Ridge will receive $166,390. The grant will be used to repair and improve seven rental homes for elderly residents on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Dacotah Bank, sponsor of both grants, is one of many local financial institutions that have partnered with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines to generate the funds to be used for rehabilitation and repair of hundreds of properties.
"The Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and their local partners deserve a lot of credit for the work they do for families and communities across this state," Johnson said.
"For several years, FHLB Des Moines has made improving or creating homes for Native American a priority in our Affordable Housing Program scoring. We are proud to be providing additional funding today for Native American housing programs," said Van Fishback, director of FHLB Des Moines.
The $1.9 million will be split among seven organizations and came from FHLB's Affordable Housing Program (AHP) which has distributed more than $20 million to projects in South Dakota since its creation. The grants are privately-funded by FHLB's earnings, and no taxpayer funds are involved.

Discovery News directs our attention to the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University, where researchers are working on the "world's most powerful magnet—one that won't blow up a split second after it's turned on."
The bit about not blowing up is key. Researchers have actually built more powerful magnets before, according to Discovery News, but this $10 million electromagnet, housed at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, is apparently the first *reusable* magnet of its kind.
The 100 tesla multi-shot magnet consists of a cylinder 5 feet tall by 5 feet thick, with an 8-inch hole through the middle. Inside the hole are nine copper coils reinforced with thin silver wire. Assuming it works like the old iron nail wrapped in copper wire, electricity pulsed through the coils generates a magnetic field in the metal cylinder.

Forget black holes. Here's the real question about the Large Hadron Collider: How fast could it defrost a pizza?
The forward thinking editors at Scientific American was all over this question in the June 2007 issue. Our staff made an estimate based on the rate and energy of particle collisions when the machine's two beams meet head on. (SA actually considered lead ion beams—which the LHC will begin circulating in a few years—which would impart more energy than colliding protons.)
But the collision frequency refers to how often the beam particles run into other tiny beam particles, not pizza molecules, notes Peter Steinberg of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y., a member of the US/LHC group blog. He suggests using the electric current of the beam to get its power (energy imparted per second).

Heads up, science fiends and night owls: The greatest science experiment ever built is set to switch on at around 3:30 A.M. Eastern time tomorrow.
After 14 years and $8 billion, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) plans to inject the first beam of protons fully around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the circular particle accelerator 17 miles (27 kilometers) long straddling the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva.
It will most assuredly not destroy the world.
What it will do is help researchers answer some big questions about the universe—why particles have mass; what dark matter may be made of, and why matter survived its brush with antimatter when the universe was young.

Researchers may have turned up the 45th example of a Mersenne prime—a type of prime number rare enough that months or years of computerized searching are required to pick one out among the throngs of mere primes.
Details are still sketchy but the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) has announced on its Web site that a computer turned up a candidate Mersenne (pronounced mehr-SENN) prime on August 23. Checking began this week and should be completed by September 16.
If it checks out, the finding of the 45th Mersenne prime (MP) might qualify for a $100,000 prize offered by the Electronic Frontier Foundation for anyone who a prime number having at least 10 million digits. The 44th MP, discovered in September 2006 by two researchers at Central Missouri State University, clocked in at 9.808358 million digits.

Are we closing in on laptops that can recharge without those annoying power cords?
Yesterday Intel, the world's largest chip manufacturer, demonstrated a form of wireless energy transfer by lighting a 60-watt bulb from a power source three feet away, in an effect they referred to as WREL (wireless resonant energy link)
If the trick sounds familiar, that's because researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) reported the same thing last year under the moniker WiTricity.
Two years ago, MIT researcher Marin Soljacic figured out a way to transmit electricity via the magnetic field surrounding a charged loop of wire. A similar loop wired up to a light bulb or another electrical device would draw power from that magnetic field—no wires attached.

Budding astronauts, avert your eyes. NASA has posted photos of a failed test landing (read: crash) of a mock-up of the Orion crew exploration vehicle, part of the Constellation program to replace the shuttle in 2015.
NASA dropped the Orion mock-up from a C-17 aircraft flying 25,000 feet about the U.S. Army's Yuma Testing Grounds in Arizona on July 31. The good news: All but one of 18 parachutes inflated. The bad news: That 18th one was responsible for orienting the mock-up for a safe landing (see results at left). The space agency said it was torn and didn't inflate properly.
Keith Cowing of NASAWatch.com wonders why NASA isn't advertising the new images, posted online yesterday without fanfare.

The last thing you want on a flight to the moon is a headache.
That's why NASA engineers have been working to figure out how to reduce vibrations predicted to occur in the Ares 1 rocket, a multi-stage launch vehicle that plays an early role in the space agency's Constellation program to return to the moon by 2020.
NASA plans to field the Ares 1 in 2015, using it to launch the Apollo-like Orion crew capsule into orbit (left). But engineers believe that combustion in the rocket's solid-fuel motor would likely set up vibrations across both vehicles for a few seconds during the ascent. These "thrust oscillations" could injure astronauts or make it hard for them to see the controls and respond to emergencies.

The battle for juicy NASA contracts is heating up as the space shuttle nears retirement in 2010 and work continues on the Constellation program to replace it.
NASA announced on Friday that it's terminating a potentially $745 million contract with Oceaneering International, Inc. of Houston to make new space suits (left) for Constellation, which is supposed to return us to the moon by 2020.
Exploration Systems & Technology, Inc., a competitor for the contract, filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) after NASA awarded it on June 12 to Oceaneering.

Here's a scenario that might be going through the minds of NASA astronaut Greg Chamitoff and his two fellow Russian crew members on the International Space Station (ISS).
Lawmakers warned this week that escalating tensions with Russia may leave the U.S. without ready transport to the ISS after NASA retires the space shuttle fleet in 2010.
The space agency does not expect the shuttle's replacement, the Orion—an Apollo-like craft being developed as part of the Constellation program—to be ready to fly until 2015. NASA's plan was for the interim was to use Russian Soyuz craft (left) to send up crew and cargo to the $100 billion station.

Many researchers were none too happy when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) voted in 2006 to cast Pluto out from among the planets, demoting it along with similar bodies in the solar system to the status of mere dwarf planets.
Some of them would still like to reverse that decision, or at least convince the public that the IAU process did not reflect the give and take of workaday science. Hence "The Great Planet Debate: Science as Process," a three-day conference under way right now at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL).
As I write, conference co-organizer and vocal Pluto booster Mark Sykes, director of the Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Arizona, is set to duke it out this afternoon in a public debate with dwarf planet-proponent Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium in New York.

We invited the candidates in a couple of primary runoffs with big implications to answer one broad question: what do you think are the three biggest issues in this campaign?
Fred Brown, a Republican running for re-election the state representative for District 14, said these are the biggest issues on his mind:
ISSUE #1: States' Rights
"These huge, unfunded mandates like the new insurance bill that was just passed, that's going to cost the state of Texas billions and billions of dollars, and we haven't figured out how we're going to pay for it. That's an issue of states' rights, where the power of the federal government is imposed upon the state, and constitutionally, that's wrong. That's going to be the number one priority.
"As a body, both the House and Senate, we're going to go to the governor and say we want this resolution to go to the federal government, but in addition to that, we want to join 36 other states and demand our rights as a group of states against the United States."
ISSUE #2: Balancing the Budget
"We have a big shortfall in our budget. Our economy is showing positive signs of turning around. We were the last state to have a downturn in the United States, and we're going to be the first state out of these difficult times. We're still going to have anywhere as high as a $20 billion shortfall, so we do have a large rainy day fund that we'll use part of that, and we'll make cuts where cuts are appropriate without raising taxes."
ISSUE #3: Moving the Tax Office
"Every ten years, it's time for redistricting, and we have a chance here in Texas of picking up four congressional seats, so it's going to be very, very important to us, because we need to send people back to Washington that are atune to the problems we're facing in Texas and the help that we need in the State of Texas. So it's very important that our district lines are drawn properly. It's very important to Bryan and College Station that we keep Bryan and College Station and Texas A&M intact as one district."
Video of the full answers is available above.
Brown, the incumbent, is facing Buddy Winn in the GOP runoff. There are no other candidates from other parties in the running for this position.

text: Home Culture Why We All Deserve Blame for Bad Verdicts The outcome of the George Zimmerman trial reminds us why evading jury duty is no laughing matter. By: Keli Goff Posted: July 18 2013 1:34 PM 0 A screenshot of juror B37's televised interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper (The Root) -- From the moment juror B37 spoke out for the first time about why she voted to acquit George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin, she has been the target of criticism. Her compassion, intellect and motives have all been questioned, by social media and just about every person in my social circle, including me. Yet for all of the legitimate criticisms that many of us may lodge at juror B37, there is one thing for which she inarguably deserves praise: She did her civic duty by serving on a jury. Many of us don't. Getting out of jury duty is actually a point of pride for many, so much so that there is a common joke about those who do serve on juries: "12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty." There are humorous articles on how to get out of jury duty. One of comedian Sarah Silverman's most famous (and controversial) jokes revolves around her elaborate plan to evade jury duty. She uses racism as a sort of get-out-of-jury-duty-free card. But the outcome of the Zimmerman trial reminds us why evading jury duty is no laughing matter, and the racial makeup of juries isn't, either. Minorities have historically been underrepresented on juries. Although conscious racism was once the primary reason, today other obstacles play key roles, among them the exclusion of a disproportionate number of black males because of previous felony convictions, as well as issues related to class. Inadequate transportation and child-care options, for example, have been cited as obstacles for potential jurors of color. The Supreme Court's 2010 ruling in Berghuis v. Smith was a setback on the issue of juror diversity, with the high court finding that an all-white jury convicting a minority defendant does not constitute a violation of his constitutional rights. But perhaps just as troubling as the lack of minorities able to serve is the number of people who avoid juries altogether. Googling "how to get out of jury duty" takes you down the Internet's equivalent of a black hole, with article after article providing tips from so-called experts on how to do so. For some reason, not serving on a jury does not bear the same stigma as not voting, and yet both are equally important to our democracy and ensuring that we live in a just society, as the Zimmerman verdict reminds us. Although the racial makeup of the jury is certainly relevant to the trial's outcome, diverse thought can be just as important as racial and ethnic diversity. Imagine if every person who thinks that his or her job is too important to take time off to serve on a jury did serve. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

"I had faith that Dave would make an outstanding hire, and my faith has been rewarded," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said. "Gus Bradley is perfect for our franchise. The energy he will immediately bring is incredible and I am confident the victories will follow."
Bradley's liveliness seems to be a good fit with Caldwell, who oozed confidence during his introduction last week. Caldwell pointed to his "track record of success," adding that he has "never been a part of a losing team." He also openly shot down any chance of bringing in New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow, a bold move in Tebow's hometown.
Caldwell came across like the polar opposite of former general manager Gene Smith, who showed little emotion in his four years at the helm.
Bradley probably will look equally outgoing compared to former coach Mike Mularkey, who was known for taking a calm and consistent approach to everything — including losing.
Bradley began his NFL coaching career with Tampa Bay as a defensive quality control coach in 2006. He was the Buccaneers' linebackers coach the next two seasons before going to Seattle. Bradley coached in college from 1990-2005, including two stints at his alma mater, North Dakota State, and four years at Fort Lewis College (1992-95).
But his rise through the NFL ranks had him on several teams' radar. He also interviewed for the head job in Philadelphia this week.
"He's got a brilliant football mind," Seahawks coach Peter Carroll said this week. "He's got a way of reaching people and touching people and getting the best out of them, coaches and players alike. He's got everything that you're looking for."
The Jaguars interviewed defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden before striking a deal with Bradley.
Bradley replaces Mularkey, who went 2-14 in his only season in Jacksonville. Mularkey failed to make the team any better in his first season.
Khan fired Smith, the architect of the roster since 2009, and charged Caldwell with turning around one of the league's worst franchises. Caldwell's first move was ousting Mularkey, saying the team "needed a fresh start."
Many believed Caldwell would target close friend and college roommate Greg Roman, San Francisco's offensive coordinator.
Instead, Caldwell and Bradley will team up in hope of getting the Jaguars back to the playoffs for the first time since 2007. Jacksonville has missed the postseason 11 times in the last 13 years.
No surprise then that Bradley inherits a team that lacks playmakers on both sides of the ball.
The Jaguars have running back Maurice Jones-Drew under contract for another year and have young and talented receivers Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts III. But the offensive line was a mess in 2012, adding to the team's quarterback woes.
Neither Blaine Gabbert nor Chad Henne proved to be the answer under center.
Caldwell said he had "others in mind" to compete for the starting job.
Defensively, the biggest issue is generating more consistent pass rush.
The Jaguars had a league-low 20 sacks this season. Philadelphia Eagles cast-off Jason Babin helped down the stretch, but the Jaguars are likely to use the No. 2 pick in April's NFL draft to find a pass rusher.
Bradley's defense had several young stars.
Defensive end Bruce Irvin, the 15th overall pick last April, led all rookies with eight sacks. Linebacker Bobby Wagner, a second-round draft pick, ranked second among rookies in tackles with 140 and fourth with three interceptions.

OK for what I gotPros: The mono-pod stick is fine for a value option. Cons: The mount is all molded plastic and the relatively soft base is augured (profanity to use the sc re wed word) onto a threaded post. This failed after a few hours of rigorous use and I had to repair it with a locknut and some JB weld. Other Thoughts: Do not buy this if you are looking for the 90 degree swivel mount. My unit came with a different mount that worked for me as a 70 degree +/- adjustment to do self portrait shots. but is does not look or act like the pictured 90 degree mount. Did you find this review helpful? |

World Hero Series
Popy's World Hero (ポピー ワールド ヒーロー) line is a line of 3 ¾" action figures released in 1980. The line started as a way to distribute Kenner's Star Wars action figures in Japan. The first 15 figures were boxed Star Wars figures from the Empire Strikes Back era. The line proved so successful that Popy continued the formula with its own Japanese properties – namely Ultraman, Denjiman, and Kamen Rider. Along with the figures, Popy released 3 carrying cases, similar to the Darth Vader carrying case by Kenner.

Perhaps this must be my most unglamorous photos in my entire life being posted in public, but somehow, I don't mind. I was surprised at myself with that reaction, with me, having that need to always look good and presentable anywhere. I think I know why I didn't mind being part of a Dealgrocer ad, with my hair all disheveled, and drenched in hair-killing saltwater, and me sans the makeup and even my eyebrows ( ack!!! diving after one hour erases even the most waterproof eyebrow makeup! ) .
I am happy. Scuba diving makes me really, really happy. Continue reading

MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — The annual cleanup of the former Ohio prison where "The Shawshank
Redemption" was filmed has drawn dozens of people, including some in search of paranormal activity.
The News Journal in Mansfield reports nearly 85 people from Ohio and neighboring states
met at the former Ohio State Reformatory over the weekend.
They swept floors and picked up broken concrete and paint chips. Some were keeping an eye out
for signs that would bolster the building's reputation as a haunted prison.
Ghost hunt manager Scott Sukel says the group was able to clean most of the building because
there was more help than anticipated.
Volunteer Joe James says the benefits of helping out included the chance to see prison
artifacts and help open new tour areas.

December 2013
I'm very happy to announce that Tansy Spinks and I have been selected for a collaborative residency at Wimbledon Space as part of ACTS RE-ACTS Festival, organised by Wimbledon College of Arts to set up a debate about contemporary performance in fine art and theatre. It will take place from 25/2/14-26/3/14 and Tansy and I will have fun exploring collaborative, site specific sound performance through objects and improvisation. We played with similar ideas during a one-day workshop last year, and it will be very interesting to see where this may lead to. Expect a call for participation early next year!
As of December I am working with artist Michelle Lewis-King on extending her Pulse Project into the vocal realm. Basically, she'll stick some acupuncture needles into me and I'll scream…. Looking forward to it! Btw, a very interesting description of the project, and thinking about touching as listening, can be found in the Journal of Sonic Studies.
November 2013
It seems a project I have participated in has made it into this book: E:vent Archive and Related Material 2003-2011, edited by Colm Lally, available from online art bookshop (and not Amazon…) Unbound.
The catalogue to Noise and Whispers at GV Art has also made it online, you can peruse it here. Also, some pictures from the opening are on Facebook.
Last but not least, I have added a few images from the Seeing Sound conference in Bath to flickr.com - including the fields around University. It's been a great weekend, in and out of lecture halls and performances spaces!
October 2013
I will be performing an acoustic duet with Viv Corringham at GV Art in London on 12th December. It's part of a Sprawl event. Also playing are Douglas Benford with Angharad Davies and Phil Durrant with Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga. The last time Viv and I played together was in 2007 at my studio in Brixton, an extract of which recently featured at as part of Museruole. More details here.
I'll be giving a paper entitled Traces in/of/with sound: an experience of audio-visual space at Seeing Sound at Bath University. The symposium takes place on 23-34 November and I'll be speaking on the Sunday. One day to warm up… The paper explored ideas of an interestingly complex joint space emerging between multi-channel sound and screen-based images. I haven't been able to find any literature on this as yet, so I am hoping this may stimulate an interesting debate!
September 2013
An installation version of Traces in/of/with sound will feature as part of the sound exhibition NOISE and Whispers at GV Art from 8 November – 14 December 2013. Very much looking forward to adapting the piece to a new home!
August 2013
I have just uploaded a video from my recent performance at the Barbican to vimeo. Madness in action, or as one audience member kindly wrote to me after the performance:
As the man in the black moleskin jacket said: "Iris bridges the gap between the digital and the organic". Yes, but she does a lot lot more. She peels back the layers of higher cognitive functionality, the verbal, the rational, the conscious, and gives voice to Radio Amygdala, to Hippocampus FM….to the primeval wellspring of the Creative Urge, the limbic system – the so-called 'lizard brain'….unleashing a cacophonous riot of hoots, burbles, shrieks, clanks and howls that is as joyously exuberant as it is unnervingly disturbing. Raw sound – unrefined, instinctive, spontaneous and uncontrollable. Forming into clumps and chains and repetitions. A huge cathartic outpouring. The sounds of the jungle. The sounds of the madhouse. The sounds of the factory floor. Iris asks us what music is. And then she tells us the answer.
Here is the what he meant (I presume…):
Also, some very fun images from the concert at Hack the Barbican can be seen on Flickr. The pictures were taken by Peter Smith and you can see them here. It includes the image below which I am calling Music for Airports….
July 2013
A new London date has been added to the diary: Sunday 14th July from 4pm, an event part of the European season of Live-looping festivals, curated by Georgina Brett. Strongroom Bar, 120-124 Curtain Road, London EC2A 3SQ. More information can be found on facebook.
Also, on August 15th I will be playing at the Barbican, as part of a Hack the Barbican event curated by Music Hackspace. It's free and it looks like I am on at 7pm. More details are here.
June 2013
As with last year, June has been turning into a very busy month! I am very happy to say that this includes a piece that I have made years ago with Viv Corringham as part of Museruole, a track with the fab title of Who says banshees have no fun, which can be downloaded here.
There also is a live performance of Traces in/of/with Sound at Aural Detritus Festival in Brighton and the 9-channel piece Remembering Worlds (made in collaboration with Peter McKerrow, Robbie Judkins and Charlotte Desborough) for the BeOpen Sound Portal. It's a piece made around 2001: A Space Odyssey and features me singing the Blue Danube (very briefly thankfully, sounds we have termed R2D2, and a brief rocket-ship-lift-0ff experience, amongst other things. We will have a panel discussion about the making of this piece at the Sounding Space symposium, University of the Arts London, which incidentally features keynotes by Bill Fontana and John Drever.
Also happening in June are my piece override, which will be part of Camberwell Arts Festival and can be enjoyed in buses throughout that time plus a paper at Sound, Sight, Space and Play symposium, DeMontford University Leicester.
Have a look at the events diary for the details of all these activities.
May 2013
Anyone remember the Be Open Sound Portal created by Arup launched at last year's London Design Festival in Trafalgar square? This year the portal is migrating to Chelsea as part of a University of the Arts London project, and LCC is putting together a 80 min programme around the theme Sound, Place, Memory with three student compositions and two artist compositions. I am delighted to say that I am creating one of the former and currently selecting a number of collaborators for the venture. More soon.
As with last year Dan Scott had invited me to make sound installations with his fabulous MA students from the Central School of Speech and Drama.Here are some pictures for you, although sadly no sound. flickr.com.
Also, I have lent my German language skills to a work by my good friend Andrea Gabriele, the piece Raus/Outside, which forms part of the video/book Biografia Di Te/Biography Of You. You can hear an extract for free on sound cloud, Released now on Ode Ogni Dove Edizioni.
April 2013
Just back from a fab few days at Open Provocation in Cornwall, and with the pictures to prove it too. See them here. Great weather, great people, great music! Thanks to Robert Curgenven for putting it all together A review raved about my making trancelike monkey noises, which is just the ticket – as long as they don't say I look like one too (there there is vanity for you!) Enjoy: artcornwall.org.
March 2013
On April 18th I'll be playing at Open Provocation, a festival taking place in Polruan, Cornwall between the 17th-20th April. There is a fab double CD for sale to help fund the event, which contains exclusive material from the likes of Lee Patterson, Robert Curgenven, myself and many others, costing just £10! For more information, check recordedfields.net/festival.
My piece override will be part of Camberwell Arts Festival, happening from 15 – 23 June 2013. Over the same weekend I will be talking about and performing Traces in/of/with sound at the Aural Detritus Festival at the Phoenix Brighton. More on both shortly.
February 2013
A little while ago I was invited by Mexican composer Israel Martínez to contribute to his brilliant project In Memoriam alongside other artists such Francisco López, Murcof, Janek Schaefer, Philippe Petit, Simon Whetham and many more interesting folk. The piece is based on Israel's experience strolling throughout the eccentric cemetery Jardines del Humaya in Culiacan (Mexico), capturing shocking messages that relatives and friends leave to their dead printed on canvas. You can now download this for free via http://www.suplex.mx.
January 2013
An excerpt of my piece Room With A View has been published as part of Ex-trauma, part of the Experiments and Intensities series published by Winchester University Press, which is curated by Annette Arlander, Yvon Bonenfant and Mary Agnes Covey-Krell. Find out more here.
I have just spotted a nicely mayhem-video from my recent performance at the Liverpool Biennial. The sound is a bit abysmal as it's directly from the camera, but, it's fun:
There are also some images from the recent Utrophia concert with Tom Scott, Jonas Gustafsson, Adam Bohman, Zolan Quobble, Sara Ragab, Michael Shaw and David Aylward on flickr. Pictures from the Aural Detritus concert in Brighton can be found on my facebook page and way nicer ones on that of Andrea Shambolic.

Well, if any of the fawning Catholics who helped drag the president across the finish line last month are in attendance, I invite them to stay a few more days in Washington and walk with us on January 25 in the annual March for Life.Think I´ll get any takers? (I´m Catholic by the way, I can jab my brothers and sisters in the ribs).
Maybe the gamed voting machines can also generate some cardboard cutouts of adoring obama fans.
Perhaps they will have sleet and snow.
#...If you can believe The Farmer´s Almanac, they are calling for heavy snow for New England with lighter snow farther south during that period. Let´s hope.
If we get lucky we can have William Henry Harrison type weather.Since he will have the microphone that day, let´s encourage him to talk as long as he wants.
President Obama will not be the only empty chair there.
Eh. Been there. Done that. Left tons of trash on the National Mall [I wonder how many who attended the first fraudulent inaugural expected a bunch of stores?].But not to worry. The Enemedia are expert at camera angles. They can make 300 people in a professional-sports arena look like 22,000.
As someone who met and married an Inaugural Committee staff member when I worked on Capitol Hill during two Inaugurals, and loved dining at the elegant and prestigious Sans Souci on 17th Street on Inangural Night... will not even watch next year...It´s more vital to pray for America´s soul...
What is there to celebrate??
Not to worry! Obozo will send out free tickets, transportation, hotels plus spending cash to all his miscreant Code Pinko´s, MoveOn.org´s & union thugs.... and probably a healthy contigency of his Muslim Brotherhood pals from Turkey!
You would think people wold book early to get a cheaper price.
They may have to pay people to come just to make the crowd look presentable.
A person who votes twelve times still needs only one hotel room.
Maybe someone can reserve rooms and tickets for the dead people who voted for him.
The 49% will only attend if someone pays their way.
Thanks OP, I coined Obie last year, hope it catches on more. It describes the incompetent kid a bunch of fools elected.On the topic, who wants to go to a freak show? Freaks.
Unless they are giving out free transportation, free hotel rooms, free tickets, and lot of other cool free stuff, why would any of NØbama´s idiot voters possibly have any reason to go???It´s all about the cool free stuff, baby!!!The NØbama legacy -- destroyed the country, but gave away a lot of cool free stuff in the process!!!
I hope they throw a party and no one comes. Posters are right - people will only attend if the Zipster pays their way.I´m wondering if he will take two oaths this time or just the one on the Koran - in public. Pfffffft on CJ Roberts. We should have known at the inaugural that something was in the wind with him and Zippy, and especially when he didn´t make Zippy produce his birth certificate before the inauguration. At that time, I BELIEVED.

It's Your Money: Tracking school tax dollars
Posted at: 01/22/2013 7:41 PM
| Updated at: 01/22/2013 8:05 PM
By: Ray Levato | WHEC.com
$136 billion, that's what Governor Andrew Cuomo is calling for in his new budget proposal and it's your tax dollars.
His plans calls for a nearly 2% spending increase and a 4.4% increase in state school aid.
Governor Cuomo has made it clear that students need more time spent in the classroom, but that'll cost money for teachers and other staff. One local school leader says what he's proposing may may not be enough.
Governor Cuomo has put $20 million in his new budget for extending the school day or the school year or both, but he gave no details of how that money would be spent.
Jody Siegle is Executive Director of the Monroe County School Boards Association which represents every school district in the county including the city of Rochester. Siegle would like to know more.
Jody Siegle, Monroe County School Boards Association, said, "I'm really not sure. It won't be if very large numbers of districts opt to do that. He may want to see that as an initial amount of money because if school districts choose to extend the day or school year, it's going to take some planning and some negotiations. I would expect there would be fewer districts the first year than there would be later on."
The governor acknowledged that school districts are struggling with teacher pension costs and his budget would include about $200 million to help schools cope with that.
But schools say just that's less than half of what the increase is—just for this coming year. But Siegle brings up another new mandated costs on the horizon. For example, in 2014, state tests will be administered online and Siegle says that could add millions to the school's costs just for computer. That burden could fall on taxpayers

Young Men's Writing Project
The Reading/Writing Learning Clinic has developed several community outreach programs specifically for our neighbors in the Hempstead, Uniondale, and Roosevelt communities to make our services affordable and accessible to all. An example includes the Young Men's Writing Project (YMWP), an after-school space for middle school young men in seventh and eighth grade. In this creative writing program, participants have the opportunity to develop their literacy strengths and explore their identities as they discovered the power of the pen. Sponsored in 2009 by the Verizon Foundation, the YMWP makes use of multimedia technology to expand the types of literacy experiences available to young adolescents. Participants are explicitly involved in developing digital literacy projects by using computers and multimodal literacy tools to develop 21st century literacies. Through digital storytelling, this year's participants of the YMWP explored their interests in everything from sports to the road to civil rights in America as well as their dreams, goals, and powerful personal experiences. Samples of the digital stories created by the YMWP can be viewed by clicking the links below.
