Why are sunspots dark? Bright rings cast shadow on solar models
ACD's autumn is beyond busy
Got a question? Ask the new Delphi coordinator
|Nine-year-old Rebecca Stossmeister gets a head start on her piloting career at the helm of the NSF/NCAR C-130. "She loved it," says dad Greg Stossmeister (JOSS). Greg, Rebecca, and her brother Andrew were among more than 40 parents, children, and friends who attended a tour at Jeffco of the Research Aviation Facility and nearby Colorado Aero Tech on a snowy Saturday, 16 October. Friends of UCAR and the NCAR Education and Tour Program collaborate on this annual event for children of staff and for kids signed them up as Junior Scientists through Friends of UCAR. First the visitors slushed across the street to Aero Tech, where Steve Steele showed how the company trains more than 700 students a year for aircraft-related jobs with leading airlines. Then, back at RAF, ATD scientist Bruce Gandrud held court inside the C-130, showing how the plane is being outfitted for upcoming flights, including the TOPSE mission. Retired flight engineer Harold Barber described the plane's exterior fittings and other items of interest around RAF. The snow dashed plans for an outdoor lunch, so visitors picnicked inside the RAF hangar.

text: Ok, I just figured out how to customize the Startup Image..the instructions are on page 48 of Nav System Owner's Manual. I have the Advanced Tech Package. The Image has to be a JPG or JPEG image up to 10MB. On your home PC, you create TWO files on a USB thumb drive, one called "StartupImage" and "DisplayOffImage" (Both Case sensitive). You put the files (images) that you want, inside the "StartupImage" folder. You then go to your Prius and plug into the USB port. You then go into Setup -> General -> Customize Startup Image. Then just follow the onscreen instructions and your done! When the car starts, you still see the Toyota logo for a second, then your custom image for another second, then the system is booted. I now can enjoy my Kids picture before every trip!

NBC News correspondent and "Weekend Today" anchor Jenna Wolfe is used to going on some crazy adventures in her reporting, but now she's embarking on her biggest adventure of all -- motherhood!
Wolfe and fellow NBC News correspondent Stephanie Gosk not only came out of the closet as a lesbian couple Wednesday, but they also announced that they're expecting a baby girl together.
"This is the most exciting thing that has ever happened to us," Wolfe told People exclusively in its new issue on newsstands this week. "But I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is."
Wolfe, 39, and Gosk, 40, have been together for three years, but admits that their crazy schedules have made starting a family a difficult task.
"We were constantly on the road, juggling a thousand balls at once," Wolfe explained. "It's a miracle we got it all together … In a way, we can't wait to start … Stephanie keeps saying, 'Hurry up! What's taking so long?' And I'm like, '[The baby's] cooking!'"
Wolfe also shared the news on the "Today" show couch Wednesday morning.
"I have some big news, this is actually big for me. I'm actually pregnant. I'm quite pregnant, in fact. My girlfriend Stephanie Gosk, who works here also at NBC, we're expecting a baby girl at the end of August," Wolfe told Matt Lauer. "Stephanie's extremely adventurous, she's been all over the world. And you know me, there's not a building I haven't jumped off of … so, for us, this is nothing like that. This is the adventure of a lifetime."
Wolfe added that she's going to be blogging about her experiences. "I know I'm not the first person to have a baby, but I'm having a baby for the first time …. This is a journey that I'm very excited to take."
Wolfe is due on August 27. She told People that she and Gosk plan to wed in the future.

One expert thinks Cowboys will win Super Bowl
Most 'experts' have the Cowboys finishing third in the NFC East, behind the Giants and Eagles (not necessarily in that order) in 2012.
Most envision Dallas getting nine or 10 wins at the most and likely missing the playoffs in what may be the NFL's most competitive division.
But at least one 'expert' has Jerry Jones' team winning the sixth Super Bowl in franchise history and coach Jason Garrett being named the NFL Coach of the Year.
Jamison Hensley, of ESPN.com, was the only expert to pick Dallas.
Super Bowl XLV winner Green Bay was far and away the most popular choice to win it all. Nine of 16 experts picked the Pack. Four picked the Patriots, another picked the Eagles and one picked Atlanta.
The defending champion New York Giants? None of the 16 experts picked the Giants to repeat.

(CBS/AP) NEW YORK - The mother of Brandon Woodard, the Los Angeles man who was ambushed and killed in Manhattan during broad daylight, says New York City detectives were unable to find any drugs, weapons or evidence in her son's condo in California.

Sandra Wellington told The New York Times that the detective returned the key to Woodard's apartment and told her they "found nothing."
She said the detectives told her they were working day and night on the case. One detective told her "they were very close."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said on Thursday that police hadn't identified any suspects in Monday's slaying or determined why he was targeted. Police are still examining three phones carried by Woodard when he flew to New York on Sunday. The reason for his flight remains unclear.

JOINT STATEMENT: Issues and Concerns over Serious Impacts Related to Governance of Land and Natural Resources (7th National Advocacy Conference, 6-7 December 2012)
"Issues and Concerns over Serious Impacts Related to
Governance of Land and Natural Resources"
Phnom Penh, 7 December 2012
We, approximately 300 representatives from the provinces of Battambang, Kampong Speu, Takeo, Banteay Meanchey, Uddor Meanchey, Pursat, Rattanakiri, Mondulkiri, Preah Vihear, Koh Kong, Stung Treng, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville Municipality, Svay Rieng, Kampot, Kratie, and civil society organizations, including Cambodian Human Rights & Development Association (ADHOC), Advocacy and Policy Institute (API), Cambodian Human Rights Action Committee (CHRAC), Community Legal Education Centre (CLEC), Committee for Free and Fair Elections in Cambodia (COMFREL), Cambodians for Resource Revenue Transparency (CRRT), Cambodia Volunteers for Society (CVS), Development and Partnership in Action (DPA), Gender and Development for Cambodia (GAD/C) Housing Rights Task Force (HRTF), Indigenous Community Support Organization (ICSO), Khmer Youth and Social Development, (KYSD) Life with Dignity (LWD), Star Kampuchea, NGO Forum on Cambodia, Vigilance, World Vision Cambodia (WVC), Youth Resource Development Program (YRDP), and other civil society organizations in Cambodia would like to make a Joint Statement stemming from the issues identified in the 7th Annual National Advocacy Conference on "Working Together for Good Governance on Land and Natural Resources in Cambodia", held on 07 December 2012 at the Imperial and Garden Hotel, Phnom Penh.
We, as the communities and civil society organizations from all provinces above in Cambodia compliment the efforts by the Royal Government for good governance of land and natural resources in Cambodia. The 7th Annual National Advocacy Conference raises the issues and recommendations, which reflect the great concerns over serious impacts on the people of Cambodia as follows:
I.Extractive Industry
Extractive industry is a sector from which the Royal Government of Cambodia has been receiving important revenues for national eonomic development, but Cambodia has not been prepared for development of this sector yet. At present, the legal and technical frameworks are limited making it difficult to manage this windfall revenue. In contrast, extractive industry has caused negative impacts on the environment through use of chemicals, resulting in damage to water and soil quality, agricultural products, human and animals' health. Communities have not received information and prior, comprehensive consultations on decisions on mineral resource development projects, leading to violation of human rights, in particular, those of indigenous people.
- Achievements by the Royal Government
The Royal Government is drafting a number of laws to manage extractive industry. It has also developed some infrastructure in mining development areas, and has provided a small amount of compensation for communities affected by mining exploitation.
- Recommendations for the Royal Government
- Environmental impact assessments must be conducted with full participation of the public, and there should be notification at least one month in advance of the assessment.
- Establish an inter-generational fund from the revenues from petroleum, mines, and gas with management by an independent commission, and there should be regular public dissemination of information on use of the fund.
- Build technical capacity for Cambodians on extractive industry.
- Strengthen the rule of law by enforcing existing laws and regulations on extractive industries.
- Implement the Law on the Access to Information, and make information on extractive industry, including revenues, expenditures, contracts, and licenses, etc. publicly available.
- Avoid and cancel mining concessions that affect the land of indigenous communities or the land under the process of registration of communities' collective land.
- Amend the Law on Mineral Resource Management and Exploitation, and encourage consultations with the public on revising the law. Develop new laws related to extractive industry in accordance with international standards.
Recommendations for the Private Sector
- Make information on plans, agreements with the Royal Government, licenses, revenues, and expenditures publicly available.
- Implement requirements officially agreed upon and provide full compensation to affected communities.
- Establish a social fund for community development projects and provide appropriate job opportunities. Provide opportunities for comprehensive participation by communities and civil society in mineral exploration.
Recommendations for Development Partners
- Continue to provide financial support and technical capacity building, improved legal frameworks, and mineral exploitation for communities.
II. Indigenous People
Studies and identification of indigenous people across the country has not been fully completed yet. There is a lack of awareness-raising on the process of self-identification and registration of collective land, in particular, with indigenous communities in areas where self-identification has not been conducted. Participation and awareness from local authorities on identification of indigenous people is limited. The process of provision of indigenous identity by the Royal Government is slow. The priority of collective land registration is determined after registration of private land. Further, indigenous communities were persuaded to accept private land ownership.
- Achievements by the Royal Government
The Royal Government has been assessing and registering communities as legal entities to own collective land, has produced legal documents for temporary protection of indigenous land, developed national policy on indigenous development, and established technical working groups, such as the Ministry of Rural Development, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Land Management, Urbanization, and Construction, and the International Labor Organization.
- Recommendations for the Royal Government
- Encourage and expedite collective land registration for indigenous communities in order to ensure the sustainability of the right to use land and natural resources, and to maintain indigenous people's traditions and customs.
- Respect and recognize the traditions and culture which assures indigenous people's rights and maintains their traditions and customs.
- Widely disseminate information on the process of collective and private land registration.
- Review companies that have already received economic land concessions affecting communities' lands and forest, and return them to communities.
- Provide information and conduct prior consultations with indigenous people on all development projects.
- Pay appropriate and acceptable compensation to indigenous people who are affected by development projects.
- Adopt the Law on Access to Information in order to enhance participation and the right to decision making on national development.
III. Forestry Issue
Economic land concessions overlap community forestry and protected area communities. Some local authorities do not support community forestry, and some registered communities do not receive support from local authorities either. The process for creating of community forests is complicated with significant cost and delay. There has been clearance of community forestry and tree felling in the territories of community forestry by some powerful people, traders, and economic land concessionaires. Army barracks have been built on community forests that have already been confirmed with the Royal Government, such as: the cases of the communities of Dong Beng, Andoung Bor, Rumduol Veasna, and the forestry salvation community in Uddor Meanchey province. There has been intimidation against forestry activists by some companies, traders, and officials. There is a shortage of funds for supporting community forestry.
- Achievements by the Royal Government
Communities and NGOs working in the forestry sector recognize the objectives of the Royal Government of Cambodia, in particular, reforestation of eroded soil by the Forestry Administration as indicated in the Joint Monitoring Indicators (JMIs). However, NGOs and civil society organizations are disappointed because "reforestation" includes planting of rubber trees in economic land concessions, such as Acacia and eucalyptus trees.
Communities and NGOs highly appreciate the demarcation of forestry boundaries and protected areas according to plans, but we are deeply concerned about the rapid increase in the number of economic land concessions granted in protected areas, including the Bokor, Botum Sakor, Virak Chey, Oral, Boeng Per, Lumphat, Namlear, and Keo Seima.
As of November 2011, 130 areas of community forestry with a total land area of 141,031 hectares were approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries. We congratulate this effort. However, NGOs and some communities have observed that the approval process of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries has been slow and difficult, especially when compared with the process of granting economic land concessions.
NGOs and civil society organizations recognize that the initiative to develop the road map of the national program on reduction of carbon emissions due to forest loss and erosion is more participatory than development of other forestry policies, giving opportunities for NGOs and civil society organizations to raise concerns and to contribute ideas. We also recognize that this road map structure allows NGOs and civil society organizations to have their representatives in groups that make important decisions.
- Recommendations
- Revise the procedure for establishment of community forestry and expedite the granting of land for community forestry (identification of potential areas by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
- Address impacts on communities and the environment in a just and prompt manner.
- Development must involve public consultations with the people as stipulated under legal standards.
- The Committee for Management of Community Forestry and people as well as local authorities must collaborate well with community forestry.
- Disseminate the Laws on Forestry and Environment widely.
IV. Urban development, Resettlement, and Forced Evictions
In the context of development of the Kingdom of Cambodia, a number of impacts arise from such development affecting people's livelihoods, especially caused by eviction and resettlement. These issues include forced evictions without fair and just compensation, and lack of prior, appropriate public consultations leading to losses of residential land. Eviction can lead to loss of daily occupations, children's future, and indebtedness, loss of people's assetts, affecting childrens´ and womens´ well being, and ultimately resulting in people's poverty. Moreover, due to resettlement, people face difficulties in access to public services, such as: markets, schools, hospitals, etc. Lack of extensive information and consultation with the people on most development plans of the Royal Government has led to people becoming victimized as a result of violation of human rights, and inappropriate solutions by those development projects[1]. In addition, we have observed that most eviction activities by competent authorities have involved violence and intimidation. Some protesters were arrested by the authorities, sent to court, put under detention, and tried unjustly. People are obliged to resettle as required by the authority or the investment company without proper compensation. Some people were discriminated against by the authority to accept compensation. Sometimes, some competent officials have been involved in corruption or irresponsible practices and were inactive in responding to the people's needs. Lack of responsibility towards the people by officials in execution of their duty to protect the people has diminished peoples trust in State authority.
- Achievements by the Royal Government
Along with these challenges, we have also seen some positive results from the government's development projects and policies in enhancing the beauty of some cities and urban areas. Among these are infrastructure facilitating people's livelihoods, schools for children, hospitals, and health care facilities, factories to give employment to the people, and buildings (condominiums, apartments, mansions, shopping centers, high-rise buildings) and modern centers.
- Recommendations
For the Royal Government
- Implement systematic land registration for poor communities in provinces, cities, and capital cities and expedite granting land ownership to all people in the whole country.
- Disseminate and consult extensively on development projects with people, especially the communities living in affected areas before approving private or other forms of investment.
- All development must benefit people inhabiting development locations.
- Ensure an independent and impartial judiciary, respect human rights and end the use of the judiciary to oppress people who demand their land and housing rights.
- End forced evictions, but carry out in-place development.
- Immediately release from prison the people who demonstrated for land and housing rights.
- End obstruction of non-violent activities by victims, e.g., petitions and requests.
For donors:
- Continue to support all projects and activities to settle land and housing disputes effectively.
- Continue to collaborate with the Royal Government in systematic land registration and encourage the Royal Government to continue to address the requests and recommendations by victims.
V. Land Registration, Land Conflicts and Implementation of Executive Order No. 001
Although the government's old policies and new activities in recent land reform and Executive Order No. 001 are timely and laudable actions, to date we have observed that there have been some challenges in actual implementation and effective actions. For instance, land registration and land conflicts still occur and comprehensive solutions of the issues have not yet been reached. As the scope of Executive Order No. 001 is limited other disputes, such as disputes related to social land concessions, cannot be addressed timely. Clearance of forested areas and crops and land encroachment by companies still occurs despite the Government's Executive Order No. 001. Moreover, a small number of youth volunteers groups could not fully implement government's Executive Order No. 001 to solve land disputes, as disputes in some areas have been handled by the competent authorities.
- Achievement by the Royal Government
Along with these challenges, we have also observed some progress in the issues above. Competent authorities have addressed the issues above. They have taken back some land from some companies and given it back to the people. Some people who were not covered under the areas specified by the Executive Order No. 001 have also received land titles, which is satisfactory for the people and encourages more effective solutions. In some areas, after addressing land issues, the authorities also developed infrastructure for people in those areas.
- Recommendations
For the Royal Government:
- Address and measure land in disputed areas rapidly.
- Establish an effective mechanism to monitor and evaluate the work by youth volunteers and authorities in taking part in measuring and addressing land conflicts.
- Allocate and classify land for social land concessions benefitting the poor
- Consult extensively with affected people and address issues in a peaceful manner and pay compensation at a price acceptable to affected parties.
For donors:
- Monitor the implementation of government's policies, especially the implementation of Executive Order No. 001.
- Continue to support the activities of civil society organizations and communities in in the land sector to ensure tenure security and to contribute to poverty reduction.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 30)
Israel may try to achieve an understanding with the Palestinians in which settlement building would be restricted while the sides conduct accelerated permanent-status talks, Israeli media reported Thursday.
Foreign Minister David Levy was expected to discuss further Israeli redeployments in the West Bank and a "timeout" in settlement building when he holds a meeting slated for Monday in Washington with U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat's deputy, Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen.
Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat said Thursday he expected definitive agreements to emerge from the meetings.
"We expect a decision on the further redeployments and a recess [in settlement building]. I don't think we will discuss anything else."
The Israeli daily Ha'aretz, citing Western diplomats, reported that under a package deal sought by Israel, the timeout would only apply to new settlement projects that have not yet begun.
In exchange, the Palestinians would agree to forego the second and third further redeployments in the West Bank, called for under the 1995 Interim Agreement.
In turn, as negotiations continued — and if progress was being made — the Palestinians would agree not to try to put pressure on Israel in the international community.
Industry and Trade Minister Natan Sharansky said Thursday that Israel would be willing to restrict building, or discuss the extent of further redeployments, but not both.
"We are prepared to go straight to final-status negotiations. If we know this is accepted by the Palestinian side, we are ready to discuss measures to show good will on our side," such as a restriction on construction, Sharansky told Israel Radio.
"On the other hand, if they insist on the further redeployment, our message is that in order to start any further redeployment, the Palestinians must first destroy the terrorist infrastructure. And of course, the depth of the further redeployment would be proportionate to the depth of the trust that we build."
Israel has pledged to withdraw troops from rural areas of the West Bank in three stages by mid-1998.
While Israel maintains that it has the right to determine the extent of the redeployments, the Palestinians say they expect to control 90 percent at the end of the withdrawals.
The Palestinians earlier this year rejected the scope of the first phase offered by Israel because it only offered them control of an additional 2 percent of West Bank land.

At the range yesterday: I shot 232 rounds. Only the last 14 were jacketed. Came home and cleaned my 686 and there was no lead to be found.
Given, they were all light rounds. A lot of wad cutters (148g) and cowboy action type truncated cones (105g). So none of these rounds were prone to leading - but given enough rounds . . . you'd think there would be some leading. But if there was, the last 14 rounds cleared it.
Nevertheless, the question has become: Does shooting jacked after lead bullets remove the lead or iron it in and polish it so that it is undetected. I was suggested in an previous post that if you scrubbed that shiny bore with a bronze brush, it would roughen the lead enough to be seen as dullness.
Have you looked at it with a bore-scope? I would really like to know if jacketed removes or merely polishes the lead. If you would bronze-brush and look at the bore via bore-scope, we could put this issue to rest.

Isanti County Family Support Team
Guest Commentary
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Isanti County child protection multi-disciplinary team, Family Support Team, would like to get the word out to all parents of what a safe sleeping environment looks like for infants.
Research has shown that the area in which an infant sleeps can inadvertently be a cause of death. For example, while sleeping with his/her infant, a parent may accidentally roll over on the infant or the infant may get caught in between the parent and sofa or bed; or when sleeping with blankets, the infant could accidentally suffocate.
In fact, some deaths of infants that were previously classified as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are now being classified as other causes of infant death (e.g accidental suffocation). In response to the studies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have partnered to increase the public's awareness of what a safe sleeping environment looks like for a baby ages 0-12 months.
To reduce the risk of death for an infant, AAP and NICHD recommend the following:
• Use a firm sleep surface, such as a mattress in a safety-approved crib, covered by a fitted sheet.
• Do not use pillows, blankets, sheepskins, or crib bumpers anywhere in your baby's sleep area.
• Keep soft objects, toys, and loose bedding out of your baby's sleep area.
• Do not smoke or let anyone smoke around your baby.
• Maker sure nothing covers the baby's head.
• Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, for naps and at night.
• Dress your baby in light sleep clothing, such as a one-piece sleeper, and do not use a blanket.
• Baby should not sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair alone, with you or with anyone else.
For more information on the Safe to Sleep campaign and what a safe sleep environment looks like please visit the NICHD website at http://www.nichd.nih.gov/sids/Pages/sids.aspx

Erie County (PA) Genealogy
School Related - William Howard Armstrong
Contributed by Janet Armstrong Kliven
William Howard Armstrong was born September 7, 1825 in Freeport, North East Township, Erie County, PA. Little is known of his parents, who died when William was quite young. Only that his father's name was Martin Armstrong and came from Scotland in the early 1800's via Canada. When his parents died, William was adopted by a neighbor family by the name of Jones, but kept the last name Armstrong. There is some speculation, although not proven, that only the mother died, and that the father, Martin, could not care for William and left him in care of the Jones family. It is known that William had three older brothers. It is possible that Martin went to Ohio with the three older boys; however no written proof has been found.
Although educational opportunities were limited in the early 1800s, William made good use of what learning he did receive. At the age of 17, he was sufficiently advanced in his training to take charge of a school, adopting a profession that was to make him successful and an able advocate for the educational system.
According to information taken from the History of Erie County, page 455, and Nelson's Biographical Dictionary, page 190, William Howard Armstrong was the first Superintendent of Schools in Erie County. He was elected at the first convention in 1854, at a yearly salary of $800 a year.
Reports were written on the schools by him each year beginning in 1854. They show the great lack of interest that the public took on improving the school system. They also show the bitter opposition to the office of Superintendent, who was in charge of upgrading the schools and getting certified teachers. The first major task was to license teachers. He held 30 public exams and there was 530 candidates that tested. Only 27 received permanent certificates and 461 received temporary only. There were to his finding 122 schools houses that were totally unfit for school purposes.
He commended the directors of Greenfield in 1855 for completing 4 school houses that were substantial for school and during the next year planned on completing the number required to supply the district. All of this was done in the face of the most determined opposition on the part of many of the most influential inhabitants of the township.
Most of people of Erie County were of eastern origin, being natives principally of the New England States and the state of NY. Not that this was regretted, although it may be a matter of regret that there was not a greater community of interest and feeling between northwestern PA and the eastern and southern portions of the state.
After his term was over in 1860, he went back to teaching in different schools in Erie County, PA, and Chautauqua County, NY. In 1868, he relocated to Crawford County, PA, ending up as Superintendent of the Union School, when he died of typhoid fever on July 22, 1873.

ere another week had passed he would be numbered among
the dead. His symptoms were considered as favorable up to
Sunday evening, when a change for the worse was noticed,
and he continued to sink steadily until 2 o"clock on
Tuesday morning when he died. He had been feeling poorly
for several months past, the result of an overworked
system, and when his summer vacation was reached, he
started to visit his old friends and neighbors in Erie
County, in hope that his shattered health might be
restored. After an absence of less than an month, he
returned home greatly reduced, and was not able to leave
his house, typhoid fever setting in on a constitution
well nigh exhausted and ending his life.
Mr Armstrong was a native of Freeport, near North East, Erie County, where he was born in Sept. 1825. His parents dying when he was quite young, he was adopted into the family of a neighbor, both of his adopted parents surviving him. He had the usual very limited educational advantages of that day, but making good use of time at the age of 17 he was sufficiently advanced to take charge of a school, adopting thus early the profession which ever after found in him an able advocate and in which he had succeeded in winning a most enviable reputation. He was chosen the first County Superintendent of his native county under the law creating that office, serving so acceptably as to be re-elected for a second term. While teaching in Wattsburg, he was chosen Justice of the Peace for two terms. As a teacher he was employed in different towns of Erie County, and in Chautauqua County, NY, having charge of the Corry schools in 1864 or 65 and North East in 1866 and 67. He came to this place in 1868, on the completion of the new school building, and was placed in charge of our Union School, continuing to hold the position at the time of his death. At the last election he was unsuccessful candidate for County Superintendent. Of his qualifications as a teacher or his standing as a private citizen it is unnecessary to say a word. The former is best shown by the success that has crowned his efforts, and the latter is attested by the shadow of gloom thrown over our community by his untimely death. Some twenty years since he united with the Presbyterian Church, and ever after led a consistent Christian life. He was for several years Superintendent of the Sunday School of his church, and at the time of his death had charge of its Bible Class. He leaves behind a wife and six children, two grown to manhood. The blow is a bad one to the stricken family, who in their bereavement have the heartfelt sympathy of our people.
The funeral, which takes place today (Wednesday) at 1 PM at his late residence, will be attended by the school children in a body in charge of their respective teachers.

So I did a full burner plate replacement the other weekend and they are look good and burning good!! However, right after I started to snap more shear pins then I'd care to and is healthy. At stokerman's suggestion (this guy is seriously the man!) I took a look at where my auger pipes come together under the coupler. Well ders you're problem!
**Broken Image Link(s) Removed**
Any suggestions as to what is the best way to go about it? Am I correct in stating that it is just 2" pipe? It looks to me like it was just a steel black pipe or something they used for it originally. I'm sure something like stainless steel would be nice...I think I saw posts about that before on here. Problem is this baby is my only source for domestic hot so I kind of want to get it up and running again tonight. Hell they also want a low of 37 this weekend here too which is getting chilly with an infant in the house.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!!

Is VHF going to be permanently replaced by UHF for amateur packet?
Since the power plug outlet that was used by the Kenwood D700 has apparently been trumped by the air purifier, is there a possiblilty that packet will be permanently shifted from the original 145.825 VHF to UHF? That might disrupt a lot of amateurs' ability to work the ISS digipeater, including my own.
ISS UHF and VHF
Packet on ISS has been operating on VHF (145.825) and UHF (437.550) for almost a year now. The intent was to have both bands available. The current issue with the radio intended for VHF is due to the unforeseen power issues with ATV. Once this ATV vehicle has left the ISS then amateur radio operations will return to the standard default used in the past.
There have been no permanent changes in amateur radio operations policy on the ISS but instead have only been reactionary responses to an unexpected event.
437.550 MHz packet 9600 or 1200 baud?
Hi Kenneth and all,
Can anyone confirm for me please what packet baud rate is in use now on 437.550 MHz, is it 9600 or 1200 baud? Thanks
Philip G0ISW
Re: 437.550 MHz packet 9600 or 1200 baud?
Hello Philip,

The whole Amateur Radio
The whole Amateur Radio aspect of the International Space Station should have been located in a centralized location on the Station. Dedicated to it!!. I understand that adding to the ISS over the years could have made it impossible to engineer via NASA, AMSAT, RS or whoever is in-charge of Amateur Radio in space of what and where the components are to be allowed. Maybe the next Space Station (past my life time) will do this in a way it does not interrupt operations (enabling/disabling) the system during critical times. Maybe we have advanced enough by then that interference via VHF/UHF or where to plug in or not plug in will not be an issue.
Just hope that none of them forget that Amateur Radio was and are the pioneers of communication up the spectrum. Looking forward to the future for those that come after me.
Enjoy what we have in that us Amateur Radio Operators on the ground does have an interest in Space and Communications by being a very small part of a what we have been able to do thus far. 73's.
Habitat module
The going in plan for ISS was to have all the amateur radio gear in one location. That location was the habitat module. Unfortunately, that particular module as cut to save money and that killed the central location idea.
A future manned space station will likely encounter similar issues with having to power the systems down to avoid potential safety threats to human space flight operations. The advantage to unmanned satellites is that they have minimal risks associated with their operations once deployed and activated. Those unmanned satellites rarely have to deal with any new interactions afterwards.
Focusing my attention elsewhere.
'Going to turn my 2meter radio, amp, antenna, and computers away from ISS communications and interests.' Done that, was there, got to move on. I imagine the purifier maneuver was in the works for some time before, and no one was able (or cares) to problem solve to keep 2m working. It must have been a daunting problem to solve. So much for a good thing. Anyhow, tracking was taking up my valuable computer, iphone, and ipad app space so this can be freed up for some other purpose. I am not planning to re-invest in or re-invent my station to seek another band for the ISS. As my local club president, I will stop talking about getting easily involved in amateur radio in space, which was being well received as a fantastic attraction for the newer folks to the hobby. I know that ISS digipeater access as an amateur is a 'privelege' but still, the loss may not be entirely understood or well-received by some. To reiterate - 'out of sight, out of mind' may become a two-way street. As for me, I was working on my 'WAS via ISS', which is obviously tabled for the time being. Will see what September brings, if anything -

text: Recording Untold Stories of Partition Through Citizen Journalism Organization type: nonprofit/ngo/citizen sectorBudget: $10,000 - $50,000 Website: http://www.1947PartitionArchive.org Citizen participation Cultural preservation Intercultural relations Human trafficking Intergenerational relations Tolerance Migration Project SummaryElevator Pitch Concise Summary: Help us pitch this solution! Provide an explanation within 3-4 short sentences. We crowdsource the collection of survivor testimonies, embedding submissions on an interactive map revealing shared histories. About Project Problem: What problem is this project trying to address? The 1947 Partition of British India along religious lines devastated millions of lives. Mass violence broke out as an unprecedented population exchange took place. Nearly 15 million people were displaced as Muslims migrated to Pakistan and Sikhs and Hindus to India. Up to two million lost their lives while over 100,000 women were abducted. Younger generations across the world remain largely unaware of Partition, and history continues to repeat itself as similar crises have since occurred in placed such as Bosnia and Rwanda. We believe that learning from those who have direct experience is a critical step in moving humanity beyond communal strife. There is however no publicly accessible archive of survivor testimonies for educating future generations, or a memorial honoring the victims. Given that 64 years have passed, there is a great urgency to record survivors' stories before they are lost forever, leaving unfilled gaps in our collective human history. Our solution to address this need can be expanded to applications as diverse as linguistic preservation of disappearing languages, indigenous cultural preservation or documenting similar crises in history. Solution: What is the proposed solution? Please be specific! The 1947 Partition Archive is providing a platform for divided communities to come together in building an archive of video testimonies from Partition survivors to educate future generations. In order to quickly gather oral histories from thousands of survivors worldwide, we are developing infrastructure for crowdsourcing story collection. Younger generations are being empowered to harness widely available communications technology to interview their elders and educate the world. Our solution addresses the challenge of reaching a global diaspora of aging Partition survivors quickly and cost effectively, while engaging and educating younger generations in the process. By giving voice to those who were most affected by the Partition, global citizens are coming together to rewrite the history of Partition--a story often told with a focus on political leaders and nation states. In California, a pilot of our model operates successfully. A team of nearly 30 volunteer interviewers have already collected and submitted over 170 stories in several languages. Thirty additional stories have been submitted from around the world. Interviews submitted to the archive are reviewed and posted on an interactive map of South Asia on our website. Survivor stories on our site are supplemented with an online Partition learning library and People Finder service aiming to connect long lost friends and loved ones. Our long term goal is to create momentum for building a memorial to honor victims of Partition and house a copy of the collection of Partition testimonies. Impact: How does it Work Example: Walk us through a specific example(s) of how this solution makes a difference; include its primary activities. Mr. Adams , born in pre-Partition India and now living in Australia, contacted us after watching the video of Major Singh, one of the first from our collection to be posted online. Major Singh describes how in 1947 he witnessed a train to Pakistan get derailed by a mob at the Amritsar city train station. He describes the British guards on the train being fatally attacked by a hand grenade at which point the mob swarmed the train. Sixty-four years later and thousands of miles away, Mr. Adams watched as Major Singh described this scene and was able to make a personal connection: one of the train guards was his cousin, Lt. Reid. This intersection of Major Singh's and Mr. Adam's life history is one small example of the potential for human connection possible within a democratic approach to collecting oral histories. The interactive experience of collecting and preserving history strengthens the voices of survivors, forging connections over thousands of miles and years of history. Such interactions and connections are made possible by the following process: 1- Live workshops are broadcast online to train citizens across the world in interviewing survivors within their communities. Self-paced online training videos will soon replace monthly workshops. 2- The interviews cover pre-Partition life and culture, eye-witness accounts of Partition and post-Partition resettlement. 3- Submitted stories are reviewed to ensure ethical standards developed by expert oral historians. 4- Approved videos are embedded on an interactive map of South Asia on our website. Sustainability Marketplace: Who else is addressing the problem outlined here? How does the proposed project differ from these approaches? The 1947 Partition Archive is the only grassroots organization we're aware of that is preserving and sharing these stories on video, a powerful format, in a democratic manner from all affected communities. Oral histories of Partition have been conducted in written format and for the purposes of writing books or conducting scholarly research, but they are generally limited to certain groups affected by Partition. No scholars or organizations are systematically engaging communities to collect interviews from all cultural and religious groups affected by Partition. In general, rather than challenges, we envision opportunities for collaboration with the scholars and individuals who have conducted previous research based on Partition testimonies.

Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world. In 2008, while on a research trip to Japan, I had the opportunity to spend time scrolling through the oral testimony archives at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. It was very powerful to watch survivors describe their ordeal... more so than reading a book or watching a movie. That is when it clicked. The same needed to be done for the Partition. Growing up in India, I had heard stories of Partition within my family. My grandmother described the violent conditions under which they were forced to leave their ancestral homeland. In 1989 my family migrated to the US, where in high school we learned about the horrifying details of the Holocaust. I was perplexed that there was no mention of Partition, an event of similar scale that occurred in South Asia. In 2010 the last elder from my father's family with memories of Partition passed on without having his story recorded. Suddenly I became acutely aware of the urgency to preserve oral histories from survivors of Partition. Inspired by what I saw in Hiroshima, I began collecting stories and recruiting volunteers in late 2010. Specify both the depth and scale of your solution's social impact to dateIn 1947, Mr. Ali was six and lived peacefully with his family in a tiny village called Kasubegu in Punjab. He shared with us a story he had not yet shared with anyone, of how he was orphaned during Partition-related violence. Following the interview, he expressed a feeling of empowerment in sharing his story, especially with his children. Like Mr. Ali, many survivors who have shared their Partition experience express both a sense of confidence in continuing to share their story, and immense gratitude at having the opportunity for being heard and knowing that their story will remain alive for future generations. Furthermore, our volunteers' blog is a testament to the profound experience the interviews can be for the interviewers, who often come away forming a deep connection with elders and their shared history. Through today, 78 volunteers from eight countries have joined hands in collecting over 200 interviews. Over 1000 individuals--the volunteers, the interviewees and their families, have directly been impacted. Local newspaper and radio coverage of our work has raised awareness on Partition and impacted an unknown number of other individuals. What is your projected impact within the next 1-5 years? Is your idea replicable? If so, how?The successful implementation of our model has already impacted thousands of individuals in California. Requests from individuals around the world who want to share or watch stories, as well as prospective interviewers, have begun pouring in. With our expanding volunteer base over the next year and enhanced capacity to crowdsource story collection, our expected impact is over 10,000 individuals within a year with the potential to reach millions in five years. Our system-changing solution can easily be replicated by communities in need of protecting oral histories on topics that vary from cultural preservation to linguistics or memories of historical events.

How do you plan to overcome these and other challenges as you grow your solution?The biggest barrier we face is the potential failure to maintain a non-partisan approach to a politically divisive topic and the potential for political misuse and misrepresentation of the stories being collected. To overcome this challenge we are working with a team of experienced advisers with backgrounds in academia, ethics, law and history. We are carefully developing guiding principles and interview techniques to avoid controversy, ensuring that the content provided on our website makes our non-political and grassroots approach clear, and ensuring that stories are collected from diverse geographical, ethnic and cultural communities. How do you see the information-technology and media sectors shifting over the next decade? How will your solution adapt to and/or drive that changing environment?We foresee a grassroots shift in the way individuals acquire knowledge with increasing Internet accessibility and user-generated content. A more democratic use of media will give voice to the people rather than the powerful few who usually grab headlines, bringing greater understanding, inclusiveness and equality among all people. We are demonstrating a method for using information technology to engage the public in a collaborative manner for documenting oral histories. Failure is not always an option. If your solution fails to gain traction in the next two years, what other applications of the idea could you explore? While we have already proven successful in engaging a large base of volunteers and survivors locally, It is possible that global crowd sourcing at the rate we envision may not be possible. If this is the case, we will continue with the slower approach of engaging volunteers on a local level by establishing centers in cities with South Asian populations across the world. If political forces hinder the development of a physical memorial, a number of globally recognized libraries have already expressed interest in hosting copies of the collection. A combination of traveling exhibitions and educational programs worldwide will also provide an alternative to building a memorial.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton somehow always finds herself the talk of the sports world, whether it's getting golf lessons from Arnold Palmer or doing a photo shoot with the Atlanta Braves' B.J. and Justin Upton.
More frequently, though, it's Upton's love life that is highlighted ever since she started dating Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander on and off. Upton even made an appearance at Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers — well, kind of. A couple of Athletics fans brought giant cutouts of Upton's face to the game at O.co Coliseum, presumably to distract the Tigers' starting pitcher.
Details of Upton and Verlander's relationship have always been sparse, but the two were spotted together again Saturday night in Philadelphia, where they went to dinner then took in the Philadelphia Flyers' game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to philly.com.
Verlander was in town for core muscle repair surgery.
Check out a photo below of the pair trying to blend in.

text: Hi everybody. This is my first post here and I'd like if somebody could give me some tips on shopping in NYC, since I am gonna be there in the end of March. I am specifically looking into buying a new navy jacket and was wondering if there are any places where I can get a hold of something on the level of Brioni, Kiton or Campagna for better prices than Barney's or Bergdorf's. I was thinking of something around $1,000-$1,500. Any ideas ? Furthermore, any new good boutiques around ? I've heard the new Kiton is pretty nice and so is the Borreli. What about the Vacca-Attolini ? Yours, IlVangelo

Thyroid Expert Mary Shomon is author of the book Living Well With Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn't Tell You…That You Need to Know. The book was originally published in 2000, by HarperCollins, and an updated edition was reissued after 25 printings.

Living Well With Hypothyroidism was written for the as many as 59 million Americans suffering from the mysterious and frequently undiagnosed symptoms of hypothyroidism – an underactive thyroid.

The book offers both information and motivation to help readers recognize the symptoms, get diagnosed, obtain the right treatments – both conventional and alternative -- and understand how to truly live well with hypothyroidism.

The updated second edition provides detailed information on the warning signs, symptoms, and risk factors for hypothyroidism, along with a checklist patients can bring to their doctor. She reviews and explains a wide range of treatments -- from conventional to integrative to holistic – and not only shares her own struggles, but the experiences and advice from thousands of patients and doctors she's encountered.

The updated edition of Living Well With Hypothyroidism answers questions that often go unanswered and features:

Coverage of the major controversies over the latest testing, diagnosis and treatment methods, including the new TSH guidelines,

Other blood tests besides TSH, and alternative tests for thyroid disease, including saliva and urine

Information about thyroid drugs that the drug companies don't want patients to know

An expanded 19-Page Risks/Symptoms Checklist

A special updated section on the diagnosis challenges and controversies, including finding and communicating with the right doctor, getting past refusals to test your thyroid, misdiagnosis, overreliance on the TSH test, the changing "normal" range, subclinical hypothyroidism, and more

A new section on treatment challenges and controversies, fully exploring the issue of optimal TSH levels, T3 treatment, T4/T3 balance, hormone resistance, natural thyroid, and adrenal problems.

Details on other current controversies, such as iodine, seaweed, soy, coconut oil, fluoride, perchlorate exposure, environmental estrogens, mercury, potassium iodide, and more.

A detailed chapter that introduces readers to the success factors in losing weight with hypothyroidism

Expanded sections on alternative, complementary, holistic and integrative approaches to hypothyroidism

A new chapter dedicated to "Vitamins, Herbs and Supplements for Hypothyroidism"

A detailed new chapter on "Infertility, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding," including details on how to optimize hypothyroidism treatment to get pregnant, stay pregnant, ensure a healthy baby, and be able to breastfeed that baby after delivery

A greatly updated and expanded resources section, featuring books, websites, experts and other resources.

Secret Colours, 'Blackbird (Only One)' – Free MP3 Download
Secret Colours' new single 'Blackbird (Only One)' is a roller rink-worthy rocker, with enough jamming, casual blues and foot-stomping to keep you wheeling all night.
The Chicago-based psychedelic auteurs — who recently chatted with Diffuser.fm via email — mix the heavy English-style blues of the Black Angels and the creepy overtones of the Brian Jonestown Massacre. It's sumptuous, danceable stuff from back to front.
"Lyrically, the song is about understanding yourself and how personal discoveries may effect the people around you in a way you did not intend. Good or bad," the group tells Diffuser.fm. "Musically,I just wanted to groove inside my time machine stuck in Manchester 1989."
And much grooving will be had once Secret Colours' album drops May 28. Download the track below, and remember … benders only last until morning, but permanent psychosis lasts a hell of a lot longer.

The small pro pan palette (also known as a 15 pan eyeshadow palette) from MAC is a slimline black case that stores MAC pro-pan eyeshadows and depotted MAC eyeshadows.
These very slim containers are made out of black plastic infused with silver speckles, and stamped with the MAC logo on the hinge lid. The bottom layer is magnetised, enabling eyeshaodw pans that are attached to a magnet/magnetised to sit snugly in the case. The entire case is opaque.
Palette stores fifteen eyeshadow pans, other brands may also fit once depotted.
Depends on regional price. Whilst it can be seen as expensive at first glance, there are few moderate-to-large eyeshadow palettes available in the market.
- slimline design, reduced storage space.
- holds a suitable amount of product.
- is reasonably sturdy; can be dropped without shattering but there is no shock resistance for products inside.
- is identical to large pan palette (or 'blush palette'), can be difficult to identify once you have a sizable collection stored in palettes.
- the opaque lid makes quick identification impossible. Could be vastly improved by the addition of a transparent lid.
Once you reach a sizable amount of MAC eyeshadows, depotting them into palette storage is a must. A palette is a HG item for working make-up artists or travelling make-up afficionados. If you're sick of clutter or simply want to depot your eyeshadows and gain some Back To Mac items, palettes are the way to go. With the addition of transparent lids, this palette would be perfect.

Q:What veg can I grow with my runner beans?
Dad has grown runner beans on the same patch for years. Is it ok to grow leeks, kohlrabi, carrots and sprouts on this patch or even courgettes? I am trying to get a crop rotation underway but there is limited space.Asked on 22/3/2005 by Jan Hamilton-Taylor
1 answer
A:The purpose of crop rotation is to reduce build-up of soil borne pests and diseases, and continuous cropping of the same vegetable can lead to an inbalance of soil nutrients. The plants you mention should be fine to grow in the same spot as the beans this year, but you will need to add plenty of organic matter to the area before planting and I wouldn't recommend growing the carrots or sprouts in the same spot next year. Even if the area is small, it really will help if you can try and work out a crop rotation to avoid problems in the future.Answered on 23/3/2005 by Crocus

Buying vegetable plants
If you just want to grow a few vegetables or have suffered losses with early sowings, buying plants is a great way to play catch-up. Buying plants also allows you to grow vegetables if you do not have the facilities to raise them from seed yourself or wheRead full article

BROOKSVILLE — Anton Angelo took the long wooden stick, reached around the attorney cross-examining him and thumped him on the rear end. He swatted the man with the stick once, twice and finally a third time.
More or less, Angelo told jurors and attorney Jimmy Brown on Thursday in Hernando County Circuit Court, that was how his fiancee, Tai-Ling Gigliotti, struck her nephew during their final confrontation in February 2009.
Angelo described it as punishment for a teenage boy whose behavior had become increasingly worrisome. Things had grown so bad, Angelo said, that he had pushed Gigliotti to send the teen back to Taiwan or turn him over to authorities.
"I would tell her this on a daily basis," Angelo said.
Angelo testified in the trial of Gigliotti for more than three hours Thursday, offering a vivid glimpse into what he described as a badly deteriorating relationship between his fiancee and the 17-year-old boy.
Prosecutors say Gigliotti, 51, the boy's onetime caregiver and the widow of world-famous classical clarinet player Anthony Gigliotti, beat the teen and periodically imprisoned him in a bathroom before he escaped and fled to a neighbor's house in Spring Hill in February 2009.
She faces two counts of aggravated child abuse. If convicted, she could be sentenced to prison for up to 60 years.
On the fourth day of the trial, Angelo was the last of 11 witnesses called by prosecutors. Angelo, 46, reached a plea deal with the state last month that will keep him out of prison.
In exchange for his testimony, Angelo was sentenced to five years of probation.
But about a half-hour into Angelo's testimony on Thursday, Circuit Judge Jack Springstead cleared the jury from the courtroom and expressed concern he wasn't forthcoming.
"I'm not sure that he's living up to his obligation to testify truthfully," Springstead said. "That's my perception."
Angelo's attorney, Rob Whittel, said his client was probably nervous. He said the testimony was consistent with information Angelo had given during a lengthy deposition.
After a short break, the jury returned.
Wearing a dark blue suit, tie and glasses, Angelo was generally composed and spoke mostly in a professorial tone about the problems that bubbled inside the home he shared with Gigliotti and the boy for more than five years.
An immigrant from the former Soviet Union who has several graduate degrees, including one in psychology, Angelo described Gigliotti as a doting but often strict mother.
But as the boy grew older and more troubled, Angelo said, they struggled with how to discipline him. "I would say his behavior grew worse," he said. "Progressively worse. Significantly worse."
Eventually, Angelo and Gigliotti decided to confine the teen to the bathroom at night and during the day when both of them were working at their musical instrument store in Brooksville.
They did this, Angelo said, because there was running water and a toilet in the bathroom, which would prevent him from repeatedly asking to be let out of his bedroom to get a drink or relieve himself.
Angelo said the boy rarely, if ever, spent more than several hours at a time locked inside the bathroom. And when the boy broke one of the rules of the house, Angelo said, he knew to lock himself in the bathroom.
Over time, Angelo recommended to Gigliotti that they seek professional help for the boy — or turn him over to authorities before his behavior became criminal.
The teen "exhibited extremely destructive behavior," he said.
The troubles finally spilled over outside the home in February 2009, when the teen escaped from the bathroom and ran to a neighbor for help. He later told authorities that he had spent the good part of 15 months imprisoned there and that Gigliotti regularly beat him.
In that final confrontation, Angelo told jurors, he intervened after he saw Gigliotti hitting the boy with the stick. She had accused him of hiding a set of car keys. Angelo said it was the first time he had ever seen her use something like that to hit the boy.
"I'd never seen anything like that," Angelo said. "She was extremely upset."
Also during his time on the stand, Angelo said he was still living at the family's home on Whitmarsh Street in Spring Hill. Asked if he was still engaged to Gigliotti, he said yes.
"And God willing, your intention is still to marry her?" asked Brown, Gigliotti's attorney.
Angelo looked down and smiled. "Yes, God willing."
