The Firebird
In 1603 the German astronomer, Johann Bayer of Augsburg, developed twelve new constellations in the southern celestial hemisphere, delineating them from observations and sketches made by the Dutch navigator Petrus Theodori. These twelve were added to the 48 ancient classical constellations and published in
, which in all listed 1709 stars. This landmark book also was the origin for the star-naming system we use today, using Greek letters together with the Latin genitive-case constellation name,
, Alpha Aquilae (Altair).
Among the twelve Bayer constellations is Phoenix, which he named for the mythical Firebird. The others were Apus, the bird of paradise; Grus, the crane; Pavo, the peacock; Tucana, the toucan; Columba, the dove; Dorado, the swordfish; Volans, the flying fish; Chameleon, the chameleon; Hydrus, the water snake; Indus, the Indian; and Triangulum Australe, the southern triangle. The most prominent southern constellation, Crux, although known to Bayer, was not recognized until the year 1679.
The mythical phoenix lives on aromatic herbs such as cinnamon, frankincense and myrrh. When it has lived for 500 years, it builds a nest of these materials on top of a palm tree. The bird then sets his own nest afire and dies among the vapors, but from its ashes a young Phoenix comes forth to live another 500 years. The Greek historian Herodotus, in the fifth century bc, described the bird: I have not seen it myself, except in a picture. Part of his plumage is gold-colored, and part crimson; and he is for the most part very much like an eagle in outline and bulk. In Egyptian myth, the phoenix is revered as an embodiment of Ra, the Sun god. The phoenix is often a symbol of resurrection.
From the latitude of Oakland (38°) only a few of the stars of Phoenix will rise above the southern horizon during November and December evenings. The brightest star, Ankaa or Nair al Zaurak, is at declination 42°. It is a spectroscopic binary star with an 11-year period. West of this star by 6½ degrees is an unusual star SX Phoenicis. This is a pulsating subdwarf with just a quarter of the mass of the Sun, although it is two or three times as luminous. The star also has a large proper motion of 0.9 second per year, while it is at least 140 light years distant.

Jet Airways touches 52-week high, KFA hits upper circuit on talks with Etihad Airways
MUMBAI: As arch rivals Naresh Goyal's Jet Airways and Vijay Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines woo Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways to pick up a stake in their respective airline, investors hardly had a choice, propelling shares of the two airlines into a higher orbit on Thursday.
Etihad CEO James Hogan was expected to make a presentation on both Jet and KFA before its board on Thursday, said a senior official from one of the Indian carriers. The meeting was earlier scheduled for the coming Monday, but has now been advanced.
The market is anticipating a deal to be announced soon. Jet Airways emerged as the favourite, soaring 7.29% to Rs 603.65, a share, a 52-week high in the BSE. Mallya's Kingfisher Airlines' fleet may be grounded since October, but its shares jumped only to be restrained by the upper circuit, to end the day with a gain of 4.98% to close at Rs 17.27, a share. Jet has gained 231% since January 1, gaining Rs 3,743 crore as market capitalisation. Bulk of the gains, came about after reports swirled about Etihad eyeing a stake in Jet Airways.
"The market obviously sees a Jet-Etihad deal as a more serious one that is likely to materialise. As far as Kingfisher's deal is concerned (with Etihad), it will depend very much upon the crucial issue whether the promoter, Vijay Mallya, can infuse at least Rs 3,000-4,000 crore, in his own capacity as equity into the airline," SP Tulsian, independent market analyst, said.
A snippet in a Mumbai-based newspaper of the Sultan of Abu Dhabi visiting Goa on December 17, to attend Vijay Mallya's birthday bash further fanned rumours of a possible deal between Etihad, the sovereign airline of Middle Eastern nation, and Kingfisher. Interestingly, the lenders to KFA are meeting on the same day to chalk out their strategy.
Kingfisher Airlines is pulling out all stops for a deal with a foreign investor to materialise. Its board met on December 12, to keep the company's "capital structure in readiness for transactions". It capped FII investment to a maximum 3% equity in the airline, so that the foreign strategic investor eyeing a stake will not have any impediments in acquiring up to 49%. Analysts said that this move by the airline shows it is preparing grounds for a strategic foreign investor to come in.
(The transaction) may be identified in the future for the benefit of all investors as the airline is advised that a fresh infusion of capital by a financial or strategic, Indian or non-resident investor is a "possible alternative", Kingfisher said in a notice to BSE.
"The proposal to hike the FII limit could be a precursor to a deal, in which a foreign investor may pick up a substantial stake. However, procedurally, many companies increase their FII investment limit in line with sectoral caps in which they are operating. So, even if there is no deal in the immediate future, the hike in FII limit will provide a ready platform to the acquirer," said Ajay Pandey, head, institutional sales, at ITI Securities.
Tulsian too agrees. "What Kingfisher is doing, it is closing the door for any other FII to come in as it caps these investments at 3%. In September, the total FII investment in Kingfisher was about 2.46% which might have gone up to 2.9% of late. So, essentially this means that Kingfisher is keeping at least 46% for any strategic investor, an airline in this case, which is planning to pick equity," he said.
Equity analyst at ICICIDirect, Rashesh Shah agrees that the buzz on possibility of Etihad picking up stake in an Indian carrier is what is driving up the stocks of late, he also made a point that airline stocks are up also because there is a very near chance that the government might bring the much needed reform in the air turbine fuel price rationalisation and that there might be a uniform tax structure for ATF rather than a varying sales tax of 4% in some states to as high as 28% in other states.

As if horizontal directional drilling contractors do not have enough issues to contend with in performing the contracted tasks, cleanup of the drilling operation is becoming increasingly difficult because of issues associated with the disposal of drill spoils.
This author has actually received several phone calls from drilling contractors who were sitting in the back seat of police cars for illegally dumping/discharging used drilling fluid.
Disposal issues may not be a big problem for contractors installing residential waterwells in rural communities, but can be a nightmare for large horizontal directional drilling contractors. They often have multiple drill crews working in heavily populated areas and constantly struggle to find environmentally responsible yet cost effective methods to dispose of drill spoils.
Landfills are not allowed to receive material containing free liquids, determined by a Paint Filter Test. Material is placed in a paint filter and if there are no liquids dropping out of the filter after five minutes, the material is considered to have no free liquids. Drill spoils containing free liquids can wreak havoc on a landfills leachate collection and treatment system, and can bog down trucks and other machinery operating in the facility.
There are several options for getting drill spoils to pass a Paint Filter Test such as separating the solid phase from the liquid phase (dewatering), or solidifying the entire volume of material.
Centrifuge dewatering (separating the liquid phase from solids) is one method of processing leftover drilling fluid, and is currently used on some oilfield drilling operations as well as large HDD river crossings. Liquid/solids separation enhancement chemicals, such as those used for pH adjustments, coagulants and flocculants, are introduced into the drill spoils, which cause the solid particles to clump together into larger aggregates to improve the liquid/solids separation process. The material is then introduced into a mechanical separation device such as a horizontal decanting centrifuge, which spins at speeds high enough to exert as much as 3,000 times the force of gravity on the material in order to facilitate liquid/solids separation.
Centrifuge dewatering systems are capable of discharging crystal clear water (below 10 ppm total suspended solids) and dry solids while processing over 65 gallons per minute. The down side to centrifuge dewatering systems is that the equipment is very expensive to lease or purchase and must be operated by knowledgeable and experienced dewatering personnel, making the cost difficult to justify for smaller projects.
Solidification is another effective method for dealing with material containing free liquids such as drill spoils. Various materials such as cement kiln dust, fly ash, dirt and lime, have been used in the past to absorb free liquids. While effective, these products add bulk to the material being solidified, which increases disposal tipping fees and can be labor intensive in their application.
A new solidification process has recently emerged which uses a self contained pumping/mixing system to meter in a re agent at a maximum required dosage of 2 percent by weight, and is capable of processing at 65 to 70 gallons per minute. This system discharges slurry that will solidify within approximately 10 minutes and can be mixed with native soil and backfilled or pumped into pits, dump trucks, and or roll off boxes without adding significant bulk to the material being solidified.
Regardless of whether drill spoils are deemed hazardous (such as spoils from environmental remediation projects) or non hazardous, it is easier and more cost effective to dispose of material that can pass a Paint Filter Test. Contractors must be aware of local regulations for the disposal of drill spoils and explore available options and factor disposal cost into projects.

It's simple, and free.
Today, in contrast, I see an era in which the U.S. will face a complex and evolving world, with relatively more limited resources, and probably less domestic consensus as well. In this environment, it is our diplomats and foreignservice officers, not the Strategic Air Command, who will be America's true first line of defense in the world. It is this consideration which has led me deeper and deeper into an interest in and study of international relations, and which leads me to wish to make my personal contribution in that area.
Winston Churchill called for Britain, facing its darkest hour in World War II, to display "in victory, magnanimity; in defeat, defiance." Fortunately for us all, Britain and its allies won that war, and the U.S., in taking over Britain's leadership role afterwards, showed great magniminity.
Yet often it is defeat, not victory, that most tests a nation or a person. The deepest tragedy of World War I may be that it led a defeated Germany to embrace Hitler. Working in a Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War) museum, as I did one summer, I found many poignant reminders that good, brave men fought on the other side, in a cause that was both defeated and stained by its association with slavery.
I have been particularly moved to reflect on keeping dignity and moral honesty when the going gets unbearably rough by reading Neil Sheehan's book, A Bright Shining Lie, an account of an American expert on Vietnam, John Paul Vann. As an advisor during the early years of American involvement in Vietnam, Vann argued forcefully against the option of military escalation. With his great, groundlevel experience of Vietnam, Vann became convinced not only that a conventional military intervention could not succeed, but that it was inherently corrupting dragging Americans in Vietnam into a sort of ne

Mubarak ruling party in Egypt says it's ready for dialogue
CAIRO (AP) -- President Hosni Mubarak's ruling party says it is ready to open a dialogue with the youths who have staged three days of anti-government protests.
Safwat El-Sherif, the secretary general of the National Democratic Party, also called today for restraint by the security forces and protesters during a rally planned for after Friday prayers.
However, el-Sharif, a longtime confidant of President Hosni Mubarak, did not offer any concessions to the protesters demanding Mubarak's ouster nor suggest that steps would be taken to address their complaints about poverty, unemployment and poverty.
"The minority does not force its will on the majority," he said.

Founding Grasshopper aims to be Founding Father
Ian Baldwin, who co-founded Chelsea Green Publishing with the current publisher, Margo Baldwin, is helping spearhead the Vermont secessionist movement. He and fellow secessionist Frank Bryan state their case in yesterday's Washington Post.
The Once and Future Republic of Vermont
By Ian Baldwin and Frank Bryan
Sunday, April 1, 2007; B01
BURLINGTON, Vt.
The winds of secession are blowing in the Green Mountain State.
Vermont was once an independent republic, and it can be one again. We think the time to make that happen is now. Over the past 50 years, the U.S. government has grown too big, too corrupt and too aggressive toward the world, toward its own citizens and toward local democratic institutions. It has abandoned the democratic vision of its founders and eroded Americans' fundamental freedoms.
Vermont did not join the Union to become part of an empire.
Some of us therefore seek permission to leave.

THE number of people begging in Exeter city centre has dropped since the introduction of an initiative encouraging people to give instead to charities that support the homeless.
A recent street audit uncovered just five people begging for money on a busy Friday night.
That figure was seven before the multi-agency campaign begun, but recorded on a traditionally quieter Thursday night. There has also been a reduction of people begging during the day.
Cllr Rob Hannaford, Lead Councillor for Housing and Customer Access, said: "We have had good feedback on the campaign from businesses, shoppers and visitors. Everyone has been really supportive and the figures show that it is making a difference.
"We set out to try and change people's behaviour and inform those who may be inclined to give money to people begging that they don't need to do so - Exeter has enough support for those sleeping rough and it is better to give to the charities that support them instead."
All through the summer, stencilled messages have been sprayed onto the pavement at key spots in Exeter city centre in an attempt to stop aggressive and intimidating begging. The 'paint' is a biodegradable chalk that washes off after a while.

MORE than a thousand people from all over Denbighshire lined the Queen's Baton relay route to show their support.
The baton's seven day tour of Wales came to an end in Denbighshire on Friday after visiting Moel Famau, Ruthin and Llandegla.
Glasgow 2014 Queen's Baton Relay kicked of its tour of Denbighshire by arriving horseback in Moel Famau and travelling up to its highest peak.
The baton later arrived in Ruthin where hundreds of residents were enjoying a family sports day at the Llanfwrog Community Centre.
The centre manager Bleddwyn Jones donated use of the centre in the hope residents will try all the different sports the county has on offer.
Denbigh's table tennis twins Angharad and Megan Phillips were honoured with the chance to carry the baton.
The twins will be flying the flag for Wales at the forthcoming Commonwealth Games.
Megan added: "It's so nice to have it so close to the town where we went to school in Brynhyfryd. It is good for the children too, to inspire them to come down and try some sport."
Also carrying the baton in Ruthin was Commonwealth Games silver medalist and bowls national coach Lyn Perkins.
Mr Perkins, from Rhondda, said: "I was very keen to come here. It's something nice to cap my career off with and keep an interest and to try generate interest in bowls."
There was plenty to do in Ruthin with a battle of the bands, local sport fixtures, bouncy castles, face painting and sporting taster sessions from local clubs such as rugby league, netball, athletics, football, fun fitness boot camps, tennis, golf and bowls.
Ruthin resident, Zoe Prince, visited the event with her children.
She said: "The place looks fantastic loads of fun, the activities really brought us here today it's not often there are things like this to do around Ruthin. So we want to make the most of it as well as watch the baton relay and enjoy the afternoon."
The baton then headed to Coed Llandegla Forest, Oneplanet Adventure, where an open day was held for mountain bike enthusiasts.
Visitors for to test their power against Team GB cyclist scores on the watt bikes leader board.
Councillor Huw Jones, cabinet lead member for leisure, said: "Denbighshire was one of a handful of counties in Wales to attract the Queen's Baton Relay and we hope that the event will lead to a renewed interest in sport and leisure activities and leave a legacy for future generations.
"It was also great that local people were selected to carry the baton on the historic day."

Another year, another summer season on the gorgeous, glamorous island of Ibiza. Each year the global fash pack head to the White Isle to get a heads up on the hottest summer trends. Resident Smith stylista Toni Jones hit the island to bring you her must-haves for the prettiest party animals…
Ray-Ban mirrored aviators, around £110
It might be fun to be out dancing till dawn, but it's NOT cool to look like you've been up way past your bedtime, so a pair of new season sunnies will be the most important piece of kit in your Ibiza wardobe. This summer Balearic beauties are going for classic, oversized aviators, and on an island full of poseurs, the mirrored Ray-Ban is king. An added bonus is that your mates can use the reflection to check their make-up on the dance floor!
A sheer boho beach dress will keep you looking sexy from poolside to the Pacha roof terrace, just slip over a neon bikini and add of piles of bangles up both arms. I love Antik Batik's VIP ready, maxi length designs, or try Monsoon for shorter, more casual cover-ups.
Silver bag, Autograph at M&S, £99
The beauty of Ibiza is that you never know where you might end up after a lazy day soaking up rays, and who wants to waste precious partying time rushing home to get changed? Make like a (very stylish) boy scout and come prepared for anything. A roomy beach bag means you can take along a hot pair of heels and a handbag as well as your trashy beach reads, and the multiple pockets in this boxy M&S tote will help keep you organised, too.
Azzedine Alaia wedges, Matches, £780
The dance floor is not the place for spindly stilletoes, but if you and your cankles can't face the thought of dancing in (*sharp intake of breath*) flat shoes, a pair of wedges will be your new best fashion friends.
These Azzedine Alaia babies are glamorous enough to impress the jetset Blue Marlin crowd and the straps mean that they'll stay on your feet as you dance till dawn. Plus, the 5 inch platform means that you get the best views of the hot DJs.
Another vital piece of Ibizan kit is a fan to keep your cool on the dance floor. As well as stopping your make-up sliding off and providing an excellent disco prop, having one of these in your handbag is the easiest way to make friends with all those sexy, sweaty, Euro ravers on the dance floor.
Silver swimsuit, Agent Provocateur, £125
The girls (and boys) of Ibiza take their swimwear very seriously, and last year's fraying one ppiece is NOT going to cut it on the White Isle's wild beaches. Agent Provocateur has the sexiest selection of poolside posing gear, and this spacey silver cut-out cossie is super flattering on girls with curves.

Chores are good for kids, but trying to enlist them to help out can be a bit difficult. Well, giving kids responsibility is actually good parenting, just ask Maxabella. In this article she explains how she encouraged her daughter's interest in helping to clean by making her a mini cleaning kit (she shows you how).
I reckon it's a great idea for my daughter - just yesterday she was jumping up trying to help me bring in the washing when it started to rain. The pride and value she felt when I thanked her for helping was apparent. Kudos to helpful kids!

Russia's Moon Mission Rocket Creeps Closer to Completion

In Soviet Russia, space travels you
The U.S. may have
given up on a fresh Moon shot
for now, but its former Cold War-era space race rival
has fresh hopes
to finally achieve what it could not do in the Soviet-era -- set foot on the moon.
Corporate president Vitaly Lopota, head of one of Russia's largest commercial space companies -- Space Corp. Energia --
that it had fulfilled a its design objectives it took on when it won an April 2009 contract to design a new multi-purpose rocket.
Comments Mr. Lopota, "We have completed the technical design project taking into account the fact that the new spaceship is to fly to the Moon, among other places."
In addition to a potential Moon shot, the rocket will be tasked with ferrying cargo and passengers to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Federal Space Agency Roscosmos head Vladimir Popovkin announced earlier in the year that the rocket would be constructed and operational by 2018; the news from Energia shows that target may indeed by reached.

Russia seemingly is in a bit stronger position than the U.S., in that it still maintains domestic capability to launch humans into space (aboard the seasoned Soyuz capsule craft). However, the program is under pressure after a string of failed
and/or delayed
commercial launches. Most recently a suspected failure in the Briz-M booster
scuttled a Proton rocket launch
from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan. The expensive August 2011 failure destroyed two commercial satellites.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev gave the Russian space agency and its private partners until the end of the summer to work out a plan to fix the deterioriating situation.
While the design side of the equation appears to be rolling forward, the business plan to remedy the recent issues is still very much up in the air. Chief Popovkin had proposed creating a holding company that would tie together top commercial space firms -- such as Khrunichev and TsSKB Progress. The plan then involved creating a sub-holding company inside the greater holding pool to specifically pull in the smaller engine producers, including Energomash, the Khimavtomatiki design bureau, the Voronezh mechanical works, Proton PM, and others.
However, Mr. Lopota blasted that plan, calling it a non-market measure. Some opponents feel that shareholders in the corporate space firms will be short-changed if the government combines them, and further feel that it's a return to Russia's communist past -- a controversial topic in modern Russia.

WOOSTER -- More than 1,000 people who farm or have an interest in agriculture converged for the Shearer Equipment Expo and John Deere Day at Fisher Auditorium on Tuesday.
The annual exposition features John Deere equipment, vendors whose products and services support ag products and other displays and presentations geared toward farmers and their operations.
"This grows every year," said Mark Stitzlein, general manager of Shearer Equipment. "We are trying to put on a show that gives people value and something useful."
"Something useful" included seminars throughout the day. Rory Lewandowski, a Wayne County Extension educator, led a pesticide license recertification class. Mark Gold, president of Top Third Marketing, led a seminar on how farmers can implement some risk management strategies. There were classes on how to use QuickBooks and how to use agronomic data. Farm Bureau had a safety meeting for those who participate in its workers' compensation program.
The Shearer Equipment Expo and John Deere Day has been a good avenue to help with farmers getting recertified for pesticide applications, Lewandowski said. "It has been really good to collaborate with Shearer Equipment on this" because people also have the opportunity to see vendors and be educated. "It's kind of like a one-stop shop."
On the education side, Gold encouraged the crowd to think of themselves not as farmers, but as manufacturers who must operate on sound business principles, including risk management.
Stitzlein noted how local farmers are much more connected to the world markets.
"I think with the ag market, it has become so global. I bet you every farmer here can tell you what's happening in South America. The plants are coming off now."
Stitzlein might have had a point. During Gold's presentation, one of the attendees asked Gold if his company had better access to weather reports from South America. (The answer was yes.)
And, of course, on John Deere Day there was information about the tractor manufacturer's agricultural management solutions, which include guidance systems and automation.
"Technology is changing all facets of the game," Brian Giauque, one of the partners of Shearer Equipment, said. Farmers are planting with row unit shut-offs. This reduces the amount of area in the fields where there is a doubling up of seeds. Because there is no overlapping, it leads to better yields and it saves on seed costs.
This same type of global positioning technology is being used with sprayers, so farmers only have to spray once instead of twice, Giauque said. This leads to savings in chemicals. Same holds true for fertilizer applications, and it eliminates those areas that might have been covered twice. The technology is even available for liquid-manure applications.
Auto-tracking is another technology that is helping to bring down the costs of farming. This system is sort of an autopilot system for tractors and combines. It reduces overlap, saves on fuel, wear and tear and operator fatigue, Giauque said.
Luke Yutzy, a farmer from Plain City, made the two-hour trip to gain more knowledge that will help with his farming operation. He deals a lot with Shearer Equipment, which has seven sites around Northern Ohio, and he said he likes the dealership because of the "really knowledgeable" help.
Retired farmer Robert Swartz of Shreve has been attending John Deere Day ever since the 1930s and continues to come every year. As for why he attends every year, he said, "It's just like having a John Deere tractor, if you're loyal to something, you just keep doing it."
And Swartz is loyal to John Deere. He bought his first tractor in 1939, and when he was at the height of his farming, he had as many as seven John Deere tractors out in the fields.
"This show is much bigger than it used to be," Swartz said. "They really have it together."
"This is one of the most well-attended of all of the trade shows I attend," said Tom Stocksdale of First National Bank. "As a vendor, I would rather come here than go up and down the road. It's kind of like going to the Wayne County Fair (and seeing everybody you know)."
While the expo is geared toward farmers, it attracts a lot of people who do not farm.
James and Sandra Moore, who live in Wooster, come every year "to look at all of the new stuff."
"Even though I am not a farmer, I still like to look at this stuff," James Moore said.
"I think it is interesting," Sandra Moore said. "The food is good, too."

My co-worker and SLP (Molly) was incredible this year! She
involved the whole school in several activities. For the first
week of May, she sent out an informational sheet that was
included in the May school newsletter. The second week, I sent
out the websites to teachers for listen to your buds and the
voice academy. For the third week, we had an announcement with a
BHSM challenge for the kids: Monday was "Opposites"
day, Molly created picture cards showing one part of the
opposite. The kids could lift the picture up to find the answer
and these cards were posted all around the school. Tuesday was
"Category" day. Kids were to look for things that go
with the school category (a few examples were given). Wednesday
was "Syllables & rhyming" day. Molly created
posters with pictures and then asked the kids to either see how
many syllables were in the words pictured or think of a word that
rhymed with one of the pictures on the poster. Thursday was
"Sign language" day, Molly took pictures of staff
members (including teachers, assistants, custodians, secretaries,
school nurse, etc) doing various signs. She made a poster showing
and saying the sign the staff member demonstrated and then these
were placed all around the school. Friday was "S sound"
day. Students were challenged to spy for things around the school
that have the /s/ sound in them (any position) and were reminded
to keep their tongues behind their teeth for this sound.
The last day of May was "Save your hearing" day. We
discussed how people can safely participate in loud activities
and had students dress like their favorite musician. Molly wrote
up the plan & had it distributed to all of the students in
the school.
I just thought she did an outstanding job!

Continuing a shuffle of executive positions in the agency's aviation safety organization, which began with the retirement of Nick Sabatini and others, acting FAA Administrator Lynne Osmus officially named Peggy Gilligan associate administrator for aviation safety, succeeding Sabatini.
Sabatini had been associate administrator for aviation safety since June 2001, and before that he served as assistant manager and manager of the Eastern Region's Flight Standards Division. Gilligan had served as deputy assistant administrator for aviation safety since July 1995.
Previously, she was chief of staff for four FAA Administrators, served in the chief counsel's office and was an attorney for the FAA's Eastern Region in New York. Gilligan has been the government co-chair for the Commercial Aviation Safety Team since July 2001 and has played a vital role in working to reduce the commercial accident rate to a historic low. She also provided support to the DOT Rapid Response Team on aircraft safety following 9/11. Recommendations from that group led to rules that hardened cockpit doors, as well as operational changes to enhance aviation security.
John Hickey, director of the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service, replaces Gilligan as deputy assistant administrator for aviation safety. Succeeding Hickey as aircraft certification director is Dorenda Baker.
The agency is making additional changes. Kalene Yanamura, deputy regional administrator for the FAA's Northwest Mountain Region, takes over as the deputy director for the Aircraft Certification Service; John Allen moves from deputy director to director of the Flight Standards Service; John McGraw, manager of the flight technologies and procedures division, becomes the new deputy director for flight standards policy; Doug Dalbey, flight standards division manager for the Western Pacific region, becomes deputy director for field operations for the Flight Standards Service; Tina Amereihn has been named director of the Office of Quality, Integration and Executive Services after serving as deputy director; Hooper Harris, manager of accident investigation, is serving temporarily as acting director of the Office of Accident Investigation.
The FAA's Aviation Safety Organization promotes aviation safety and oversees compliance with federal regulations as applied to airmen, manufacturers, repair and maintenance facilities, aviation schools, operators, aviation agencies, individuals and organizations.

How the Whiskey Sour Became a Maligned Cocktail, and How You Can Make a Great One
That's the old-school 45-percent ABV Makers in the background.
If you go into a random bar and order a whiskey sour, chances are the drink you receive will be terrible. The sour mix is usually the culprit. A similar pre-made concoction of sugar and artificial flavoring has ruined margaritas and other cocktail classics, mostly because bartenders are under the impression they're easier to work with.
Look at the ingredients in a sour mix:
Sugar, Citric Acid (Provides Tartness), Lemon Juice Powder (Lemon Juice Dehydrated with Corn Syrup Solids), Sodium Citrate (Controls Acidity), Dried Egg Whites, Calcium Phosphate (Prevents Caking), Lemon Oil, BHA (Prolongs Freshness).
Unless you're at a high-end cocktail den (or The Windmill Lounge), the original recipes that were used to fashion these drinks have long been forgotten. Mixes like these, in either powdered or liquid forms, have become the standard way of preparing cocktails at most bars. Which is weird, because making a whiskey sour the right way takes no more time than methods that make use of pre-made mixes.
Here's how to make a whiskey sour, perfectly suited to you, without the BHA, calcium phsophate and dried egg whites.
Juice a single lemon. Squeeze it right into the shaker and use your fingers to catch any seeds. As long as it's not a terrible piece of fruit they always seems to yield about an ounce of juice. The exact amount won't matter though, because you're going to taste this drink as you go.
In a cocktail shaker, mix the lemon juice with 2 ounces of whatever whiskey you prefer. Start with a tiny squirt of simple syrup (everyone keeps this in their fridge, right?), stir with a spoon and give it a taste. I like mine super tart, so I usually stop there, but it's your drink. Add as much simple syrup as you like till you get the flavor that suits you.
With the drink properly balanced, add a tumbler's glass worth of ice and shake like you've never shaken before. Fancy dance moves, hip gyrations, bouncing and other body undulations are completely unnecessary -- a simple up and down motion will do just fine. Just be thorough. Now pour the mixture back in your tumbler and garnish with a cherry.
It's that easy. Just be warned: the whiskey sour you're used to ordering at your neighborhood bar will never taste the same.
It's that easy

"Acting & Improvising: A Tour of Theatrical Styles": There are many skills stage actors can learn from improv. Likewise, there are many skills improvisers can learn from scripted theatre. This eight week elective class explores three theatrical genres: classical, mid 20th century American classical, and absurdist, represented by Moliere, Williams, and Beckett. Students will rehearse scenes from these three playwrights, and then will explore these genres' tropes as an inspiration for improvisation. Kristen and Steve collectively have decades of experience in both scripted and improvisational theatre. The class will culminate in a show that incorporates both scripted work and improvisation. Some memorization is required for this class. The goal is to introduce acting skills or improve existing acting skills for the student so that they can incorporate acting techniques in their improv; additionally, students will learn how certain improvisation skills can enhance their acting abilities.

The Bedford County office of the Department of Human Services was closed Friday after employees noticed brown recluse spiders crawling across the floor.
An employee told News 2 they were sent home at 9 a.m. and told the office would be closed until Monday.
A Department of Human Services spokesman told News 2 they were made aware of the issue early Monday morning by employees of the department. General Services has been contacted and will fumigate the building over the weekend.
The Department is responsible for the approval and distribution of food stamps. People who arrived to pick up or apply were instructed to contact
the family assistant service center at 866-311-4287
The Bedford County office is located on Madison Street in Shelbyville.
The office will re-open Monday morning at 8 am.
Brown recluse spiders are venomous and its bite can eat away skin tissue. People who are bitten by brown recluse spiders often need surgery to remove the venom and repair the damaged skin. Doctors advise anyone bitten by a brown recluse to see their doctor.
An exterminator told News 2 brown recluse spiders are often spotted as the weather warms. During the cold winter months, the spiders will seek warmth in attics.
Brown recluse spiders are most often found in dark secluded places such as shoes and deep closets and are mostly nocturnal.

Hi ladies and gents of Leaguecraft!
I am proud to present you an unorthodox guide to our under rated champion...Kassadin
In this guide, I will show you ways to play Kassadin that will make your opponents fear your absence...yes absence.
But before I start, allow me to introduce myself.
I play on the NA server under the name of "DirtySammy007"
I am a huge fan of League of Legends and I have been playing this game for a good solid year now with 700+ wins. Sadly i do not play Ranked that much because I lack a teambuddy to play with. I don't even bother with solo queues, yeah... you know what I mean.
Why offtank Kassadin is the BEST Kassadin.
Playing Kassadin off-tank gives you a stronger teamfight presence compared to playing him conventionally. You will be a perfect bait, you will be the most mobile offtank in the champion pool, and the best reason to play Kassadin offtank is balanced durability/damage.
You can take more risks and have better chances of succeeding. Just don't be stupid.
Quick Reference
9/0/21 4 points on [mastery_icon=Expanded Mind] and 1 point on [mastery_icon=Blink of an Eye]
Starting Items:
2x or 3x
Core build:
Final Build Sample:
Void Stone This build will utilize this passive to it's full potential. Bonus attack speeds from absorbed magical damage can rack up to 2.500 attacks per second.
Wacking enemy champs everywhere 2.500 faster is very very sexy.
Null Sphere What makes a Null Sphere a Null Sphere?
The Silence
2.6 seconds of helplessness is more than enough to unleash wrath upon his/her/it's pathetic soul.
In general, great tool to harass, disrupt, delay, or eliminate enemy champions.
Nether Blade Great spell for replenishing mana.
A tool for farming, activating the ability allows you to last hit caster minions when hit once by a tower.
Force Pulse ahhh, the Force Pulse...
Force Pulse make champions that has a cone spell ability look like a bitch...gough*annie* cough*huehuehuehue* cough*talon* cough cough
Force Pulse has an ABSURD aoe angle that makes other cone spell pale in comparison. To top that, it has a low cooldown and a slow.
A con to this ability however, it needs 6 charges from spell casts.
So casts from yourself, enemies, and allies charges Force Pulse.
Charges are not a problem when it comes to team fights though. Why? 10 champions will frantically cast spells everywhere, making the spell available, always.
Force Pulse can also detect unseen champions nearby when a cast is made. Great for on-the-spot scouting or a gank prevention tool.
Riftwalk Think of the summoner spell "Flash"
But with 2 second cooldown, longer range, and an aoe.
This spell stacks eachtime you use it in a 7 second timeframe, meaning more mana cost and more damage
Having unnecessary stacks with Rift Walk will leave you dry and worst of all, vulnerable to getting ganked or **** on
With an ENORMOUS mana pool + Blue Buff, achieving that 10th* stack with Riftwalk proves to be fatal if landed on an enemy champ.. 1200+ magic damage, terrible terrible damage there.
*yes, it is POSSIBLE but it will leave you vulnerable after you cast it. Leaving you with no mana for the next 7 seconds. So use wisely my friends.
Masteries + Runes
This masteries setup is a standard caster one. Investing on improved flash and 4 points on expanded mind is a must.
This is MY preferred rune setup.
Gives me bonus movement speed for all around utility, magic resistance that allow me to dalay on a Negatron Cloak, and mana pool for more ability casts.
This setup can be changed to your liking, but make sure to choose ones that benefit Kass the most.
Alternative runes can be...
Greater Seal of Clarity
If your a fan of mana regen, be my guest take it. This is a great replacement for Greater Seal of Knowledge
Greater Seal of Resilience
Good against Dpsers, but its worth will dwindle lategame.
Greater Glyph of Knowledge
More mana=More Pwnage
Greater Glyph of Celerityor Greater Glyph of Focus
Great for reduced cooldowns, obviously.
Greater Glyph of Clarity
More mana regen=More Pwnage
Greater Quintessence of Insight
The only best Quint alternative for Greater Quintessence of Swiftness in my opinion.
Summoner Abilities
and are the ones that always pick up.
Allow me to explain,
is an overpowered spell in my opinion. It gives you that "Oh hey some one is ganking me but shit...Riftwalk wasnt enough so what the hell, ill pop Flash and riftwalk again lol xD."
Seriously though, Flash will save your ass when your Riftwalk happen to fail you. Can be also used the other way around, Flash over and rip your enemies.
has given me countless kills in my LoL career. I get that satisfaction when I bust all my spell combo finishing with ignite, walking away like a boss. Waiting for that woman to say...
"You Have Slain an Enemy" I then put on my sunglasses and proceed to cure cancer.
Other Viable Spells:
badass replacement for
gives you that upperhand against DPS/AP champions.
is an offensive/defensive spell allows you to stay in a lane longer and do a little 1 on 1 action without ooming.
Baiting like ninjachurch!
is another offensive/defensive. Quick shopping and ward ganking has never been easy.
My playstyle for Kassadin revolves around staying alive and killing players. Every now and then I die but revive solves this problem. 10 minute cooldown for this spell is more than enough. Ok im not really that serious about revive, but you can take it anyways if you want to spice things up.
The CORE build
Proper itemization on Kassadin is very important to his success, building accordingly to what you need is the key to success.
Core Build:
Tear of the Goddess
Boots of Speed
Rod of Ages
Glacial Shroud
Catalyst the Protector
Boots is a choice between Mercury's Treadsor Sorcerer's Shoes.
I am a huge fan of Mercury's Treads because it has more bang for the buck compared to Sorcerer's Shoes. Magic resist + Tenacity gets you out of sticky situation. If you think about it, Every goddamn champ has some sort of cc. A CC'd Kass is a dead Kass.
This core build gives around a 100 point of resistances, significant amount of mana pool, decent ap, and
an abundant health pool to backup those resistances.
Once the core is completed begin to upgrade the items starting with Glacial Shroudto Frozen Heart and Catalyst the Protectorto Banshee's Veil. By this time you are ready to upgrade Tear of the Goddess since it reached the 1000 mana cap, then it gets weird from here...
Tear of the Goddess to Archangel's Staffor Manamune
I bet manamune made you say wat.
Yes, Dps kassadin is still viable in my opinion. Even after the Nether Blade change. The only reason you might consider going Manamune path is when your opponents build up significant amount of magic resistances and your team is composed of more than 3 magic dealers including yourself.
By the time you finished the core build you can consider yourself very tough and take/deal SIGNIFICANT amount of damage.
In the next section, I will talk about the final item... you would be surprised how HUGE the selection of items you can have on this slot.
Deciding the FINAL Item
If you get to this point of the game you should be very proud of yourself!!!
You finished your build and the game is still going on by this time, you have 2k of gold which leave you stuck on the fountain deciding which item to buy. You browse through the categories, flipping through section after sections. Out of frustration you randomly picked an item. Surprisingly, you did well with that item.
The moral of the story? you can buy any item and still dominate with it
Yeah the story is kinda lame, but you get the point ;D.
Kassadin's 5 core items is more than enough for him to be what he is... a lean mean purple rape machine. The 6th slot is just a complimentary item to his arsenal. So make sure to choose an item the fits perfect on the current situation.
Allow me to suggest items that I had huge success with!
Thornmail If you haven't notice yet. Kassadin's greatest weakness is DPS champions. Thornmail helps a lot by mitigating a huge chunks of their damage output.
Guardian Angel A good balance of defensive resistance. The item gives good amount of armor and magic resistance, meaning a tougher Kassadin. Best of all! To add to their frustrations, your enemies have to kill you twice!
Randuin's Omen Another good choice if you need armor. Gives you an on hit slow, activated slow that stacks great with Frozen Heart and armor!
Warmog's Armor Great item to back up those resistances you get from Kassadin's core items and counter nukers. Be careful on getting this against champs that has damaging abilities base on the target's health, also watch out for the items they have.
[item=Force of Nature] A Thornmail for mages! Health regen and movement speed? What more could you ask for!
Sunfire Cape Health and armor + a passive that makes you stand out in a teamfight.
This defensive items does not matter whether you went Archangel's Staffor Manamune build.
Offensive Archangel's Staff:
Rabadon's Deathcap A steroid item that will boost your AP through the roof!
Zhonya's Hourglass Best item against DPS squishies that deals a lot of damage but has low defensive stats. Pop this when your combo is done and by the time the active is done, your ult is available again for escape or the finishing blow.
Void Staff Great against champions who stacked magic resistance. Going through 55% of their magic resistance is amazing. Specially when you have stacks on your ult.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter An all around item that offer both offense and defense.
Abyssal Scepter Good item to get if your not the only mage in your team. The magic pen aura is great + magic resistance that will make you more of an anti caster.
These are my preferred items in the Archangel's Staff path. Feel free to use AP items that I skipped, these are just my choices.
Offensive Manamune:
The Black Cleaver Mages will beg mercy when you wield this weapon, their resistance will only make your long blade hit harder and faster.
Infinity Edge is The Black Cleaver's deranged brother. Hes a man of luck however, but when
that a certain lady smiles... they wont.
The Bloodthirster The third member of the brotherhood. His lust for carnage makes him stronger every soul he decimates. Every hit demoralizes the enemy gaining fortitude to whom who bear this damned item.
[item=Madred's Bloodrazor] A good item against Tanky champions. The extra stats are just a decent bonus.
Wit's End Stacks very well with your Nether Blade plus the stacking magic resistance is a good choice if you need magic resist and some damage
[item=Malady] A more offensive version of Wit's End that gives your Nether Blade more bang per hit. Works with every ability of course.
Just like the one I said earlier, This is my preference.
Speaking of preference.
I am proud to present you the BEST!!... Final item to finish the cake. Whether you went to the unorthodox Manamune or to a more common Archangel's Staff.
Spell Vamp, Life Steal, AP, AD, and a NUKE THAT SLOWS!!!
Hextech Gunblade is LEGENDARY for nuke healing. The spellvamp it offer gives you unparalleled sustainability especially when you have stacks on your RiftWalk.
"With great power, comes great responsibility"
-Stan Lee
And that responsibility my friend is to kill them all.
Early Game farming is a nightmare against competent champions.
So try your best to dodge and last hit. Good thing Kassadin's attack animation is really fast.
Try to farm with your Null Sphere if you have to, because getting his core items is vital to your success.
By the time lategame comes, farming issues will be of the past. You will clear waves of minions like a genocide.
I will break down Kassadin's role in teamfights into 3 phases.
Phase 1
The "no, you come at me bro" phase, nobody wants to initiate or be initiated.
Stay out of sight, use your absence as an advantage. I can guarantee you that they will fear you, enemies will hug the tower as a result. While out of sight, try to maintain at least 3-4 stacks of your RiftWalk assuming you have blue buff. Having those available stacks will maintain your damage output if you happen to engage someone.
Sometimes there will be that lone champion, on his or her way to a upcoming creepwave. Use your judgement if you can eliminate this champion or at least force him to retreat. This is a risky move so expect for the worse
Phase 2
The "shit is hitting the fan" phase.
Your tanks or their tanks initiated, its a total chaos in there.
I highly suggest diving into the fray with at least 6-7 stacks of Rift walk.
Kassadin's job is to dish out damage, silence casters, bait, and protect your squishies.
Target Priority list:
-Champions that has channeling abilities that can be costly if not stopped.
-Squishy Carries
Common way of doing this is, Rift walk in> Silence > Force Pulse > Slap Slap > Rift walk out> cooldowns...repeat.
Phase 3
The "Fuck this shit im outta here!!!" phase... nope
Everyone is low health, even you. This is the most exiting part of playing Kassadin, The Cleanup.
Assuming your skills happened to get you blue buff from a kill, and you have 8 stacks of rift walk. You will have 2 choices depending on the situation
Choice 1 will be keeping those stacks, meaning enemies are close by trying to get you (since you have low hp remember). Surprise them with the burst you can dish out with those stacks. I have gotten countless multikills with this because of overzealous players.
Choice 2 will be refreshing it, since they are in full retreat, keeping the stacks chasing will drain your mana. Chase them from 0 riftwalk, by the time you close the gap you will get 4 stacks of rift walk. Be careful however, its kinda humiliating getting bursted down by 10% hp champs.
"You can run but you'll only die tired"
Boba Fett
Kassadin Tactics
Proper Rift Walking:
New Kassadin players often overuse this ability leaving them with low mana*.
The proper way of doing Riftwalk is try to time using it again before the stacks refresh to 0. This way, you will allow your self to regenerate mana for the subsequent spell casts.
Spamming it will just leave you dry around the 7th stack. But on the bright side, it gets you "There" faster. While on the other hand, using this method will allow you to use 2 casts of maximum stacked RiftWalk. But be careful though, casting that second RiftWalk will leave you vulnerable. This is where flash gets handy.
*With or without blue buff, especially without.
Yellow dots are the uncommon warding spots.
Green ones are the ones smart people place.
These paths are actually longer than walking straight to the lane.
But it offers the element of surprise. So make sure to ask the lane your about to gank if there are wards around there. Who knows, you don't even have to use the long way.
Baron Steal:
You are watching baron get beaten by a team of 5 hostile champions, and you have a chance to steal it. Before going in for the kill make sure you have at least 5 Riftwalk stacks. The more stacks the more chance of stealing baron.
You went for the kill and succeeded.
But you find yourself surrounded by 5 angry players, very very angry players.
You want to flash AWAY from the wall , leading them TOWARDS your allies. by the time you flashed away you will have your Riftwalk again ready.
The reason you dont want to flash towards the wall is simply because you wont make it. CC's will hold you down and take too much damage. Remember, were talking about 5 champions.
Stealing baron is fairly easy with a stacked Riftwalk, but suicidal.
Just hope you survive 3 seconds of 5 champ beating.
Kassadin and KSing
Don't be faltered by ignorant players who whine about you KSing their precious kills.
Educate them about this word. Tell them what it really stands for...
They're just jealous of your KS skills
You vs. _______!
Under Construction!
Under Construction...
This build is not meant for dominion, but its pretty good though.
Trying to make the perfect build to maximize Kassadin's potential in this map.
Pros / Cons
- Terrible Terrible Damage
- Unparalleled survivability for a mage, or any other offtank out there.
- Good CC's
- Psychological Taunt
- Psychological FEAR
- Unmatched mobility
- Great Farmer (mid-lategame)
- Blue Buff GOD
- Flexible Build
- Escape artist
- Best Chaser
- Huge Mana pool to spend
- Short cooldowns
- Great AP Scaling
- Terrible Terrible Early Game
- Mana hungry with or without Blue Buff (early,mid, and late)
- Can be harassed early
- Blue Buff dependent
- DPS vulnerability
Many thanks for reading this guide!!! and I hope you enjoy the guide/build!
Stay tuned for updates, hopefully not nerfs.
Author's note
Kassadin is a fun champion to play. Don't get clouded by people who question the viability of a champion. PLAY what ever goddamn champion you want and BUILD what ever items you want, its your game not theirs. So have fun.
Excuse my English for it is not my primary build.
