Bishop Joseph Walker III Accused of Sexual Assault by 4 Women
Popular Nashville Pastor, Mount Zion Baptist Church Leaders Named in Lawsuit
Bishop Joseph Walker III Accused of Sexual Assault by 4 Women
Four women have accused popular Nashville pastor Bishop Joseph Walker III of Mount Zion Baptist Church and five other church leaders of sexual misconduct and violating their trust over the past 10 years. The women allege contact with Walker led to sexual assault, and in one case, a forced abortion.
Four former female parishioners sued the pastor and five other leaders for "clerical malpractice" and a "conspiracy [to] recruit young women for purposes of sexual, psychological and spiritual exploitation," local media reported. The women are suing for $5 million, according to local news station WTVF-TV.
The women allege they were sexually exploited and abused during counseling sessions sponsored by Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and that church leaders recruited women for exploitation and sex for nearly 10 years.
Mount Zion is one of Nashville's largest churches with some 25,000 members and growing at a phenomenal rate of over 1,800 members per year, according to the church's website. Walker started his ministry at the church in 1992.
Only one of the accusers has revealed herself, while the others have chosen to remain anonymous. The name of one of the accused church leaders, other than Walker, was also revealed.
The Christian Post did not manage to immediately contact Walker or his church for a comment. However, the Davidson County Courts' clerk confirmed to CP that the lawsuit is on file.
The plaintiff who went public, Valencia Batson, spoke to WTVF Wednesday. She said she believes it was time for her to "say something."
She emphasized she does not care for the money that might potentially result from the lawsuit, but about the safety of any woman who is in the church now or who "can't move forward with her life." Batson reportedly declined to comment about specifics like times and dates of the alleged assaults or the nature of the evidence against the church.
Both Batson and her attorney reportedly said they fear for their safety after filing the lawsuit. But Batson's attorney said they have made no reports of any threats.
Mount Zion issued a statement to the media saying: "The only thing this action demonstrates is that anyone can sue, sometimes anonymously, no matter how ridiculous the claims or how sensational the charges."
It is "truly sad that a church and its leaders can be attacked with such shocking and ugly charges," the church officials said, adding that they were convinced the plaintiffs are looking to win financial gains from the lawsuit. "It appears this action is not a quest for truth or justice, but instead solely for money."
One of the accused church leaders, Pastor Kerry Bryant, who is no longer with the church after working there for 20 years, has also issued a statement, calling the accusations false and expressing his conviction that the plaintiffs look for financial gains, reported WTVF.
As no specific places, events, times or dates are noted in the lawsuit, observers wonder if it will be able to stand up in court.
The Mount Zion congregation, as well as Walker's wife, Stephanie Walker, have been supportive of the pastor. Mrs. Walker spoke to the congregation Sunday.
"Please don't mistake these tears for tears of sadness. I absolutely love my husband and support him in every way," she said, as quoted by MSNBC.
Walker reportedly addressed the issue in the Sunday sermon himself. "And I said, 'Then Lord, why now,'" he said, as quoted by MSNBC. "And the Lord said, 'Because you've been encouraging marriages and empowering young people. You've got 2,000 men praying at the altar and you ask, 'Why now?'"
Walker is one of the region's most popular pastors. Next to being a spiritual leader, he is also a counselor, philanthropist, community activist and author who penned several books on marriage and relationships, including Love and Intimacy.
In 2010, Walker and his wife founded the Dr. Joseph & Stephaine Walker Foundation, a nonprofit aiming to help people "help themselves and those around them lead productive and satisfying lives."
Walker also launched in 2001 a community project "committed to low- and moderate-income families and to community economic development," called the New Level Community Development Corporation. Walker has also appeared on TBN's (Trinity Broadcasting Network) "Praise the Lord" program.

Actress Naomi Watts had almost given up hope of starting a family before she met her partner.
The Diana actress worried she wouldn't be able to fulfil her dream of becoming a mother until she met Liev Schreiber in 2005.
"There was a time when I was becoming pessimistic because children were always a lifelong dream of mine. I would never have felt the happiness I feel now if I hadn't met Liev and had my children," contactmusic.com quoted Watts as saying.
"I still have shudders when I think how my life would have turned out if we had never met. So maybe there was some destiny involved ... I don't know," she added.

Funding Forecast, Grant Deadline, Arts Ed Toolkit and More!
Bracing for NEA and Arts Ed Funding Outcomes
Washington, D.C. - The upcoming elections and debates over automatic spending cuts have thrown the federal funding process into a tailspin. While certain steps of the budget process have begun, ongoing advocacy to protect arts resources from cuts will likely be needed through November and beyond.
The U.S. House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee voted in June to reduce National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) funding from its current level of $146.3 million to an allocation of $132 million. As the NEA has already seen declining funding in the past two years, further decreases would threaten the agency's capacity to make grants in communities nationwide. The League, along with its national arts partners, is rallying advocates to contact Congress in support of preserving NEA funding.
Arts education funding took a positive step forward in mid-June when the Senate Appropriations committee approved an FY13 bill including $26.5 million for the U.S. Department of Education's Arts in Education program, an increase of $1.5 million from last year's allocation. This level of funding would allow the U.S. Department of Education to continue funding multi-year arts education grants that are in progress.
Stay tuned to the League for the latest funding news and alerts.
Upcoming NEA Grant Deadline: August 9, 2012
Mark your calendars for the next NEA grant deadline of August 9 for Art Works: Arts Education. The NEA welcomes arts education projects that are school-based, have the required one-to-one grant match, and are submitted by organizations that have at least a three year history of programming. The Arts Endowment does not support activities that are designed to supplant existing in-school arts instruction or work toward academic degrees.
All applicants are required to submit applications through the federal government's online system called Grants.gov, are advised to take care of registration well before an application deadline to ensure all the proper steps are completed, and submit an application at least 10 days prior to the deadline to allow ample time to resolve any problems that might arise.
Please visit the NEA's website for general information about grant opportunities. Additional helpful links include:
- Orchestra Tips for Preparing your FY13 NEA Grant Application
- http://www.nea.gov/grants/apply/GAP13/ArtsEdAW.html
You'll see some new project types listed in which the agency is "particularly interested."

Now Available: Toolkit on Arts Access in U.S. Schools (2009-10 FRSS)
The League has played a national leadership role in creating a new toolkit on Arts Access in U.S. Schools to support your local in-school music education advocacy efforts. This past April, the U.S. Department of Education released the first national snapshot on the status of arts education in ten years - the Fast Response Statistical Survey's (FRSS) Report on Arts Education, which indicated clear equity gaps in student access to a quality arts education in all arts disciplines. While the report does not provide a complete picture of the status of arts education, it includes helpful information that should prompt advocacy for arts education programs across the country as schools struggle in the wake of the recession and high-stakes accountability demands for reading and math outcomes.
The report shows that schools with a higher concentration of students in poverty were less likely to offer music education and, among elementary schools offering music education, the presence of music specialists declines as the school's poverty rate increases. To help orchestras and the broader arts community understand and communicate about the national results, the League partnered with other national organizations to create a toolkit, which should help you leverage the results to advance a policy conversation about the status of arts education in your local schools. As always, music education advocates can find a host of additional resources within the League's music education advocacy tools to learn what steps you can take at the local level to advance the status of arts education in public schools.
Visit Newly Re-launched www.artistsfromabroad.org for an Important Foreign Artist Tax Update
If your orchestra engages foreign guest artists, please take note of the following development that will impact artists' ability to file the required U.S. tax return. Through the remainder of 2012, new requirements are in place for documentation accompanying requests for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN). These documents will now require much more time to assemble, and the IRS plans to announce further changes to the ITIN process to take effect in 2013. Read more about the process for obtaining an ITIN on the Artists from Abroad website. Our newly re-designed site also now includes an RSS feed.

Postal Reform Legislation from House to Preserve Nonprofit Postal Rate
Good news in the ongoing debate over postal rates! Pending legislation in the House of Representatives, H.R. 2309, seeking to reform the U.S. Postal Service, will be modified to preserve the nonprofit postage discount rate. The current legislation under consideration includes a reduction of the nonprofit postage discount rate, but staff from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee indicate that this damaging section will be removed prior to the bill's consideration this summer. The Senate has already passed postal reform legislation (S. 1789) which favorably maintains the current nonprofit postage discount rate.

Extreme makeover: Driver's licenses get new look
Soon to be gone are the days of walking out of one of the Department of Motor Vehicles 74 offices holding the latest horrible photo on a driver's license that you'll be staring at the next eight or more years.
In the name of security, the DMV will mail licenses and ID cards from one central location in Danville. Even more retro, the new high-tech licenses are in black and white.
"It's way more secure," says DMV spokeswoman Melanie Stokes. "Instead of 74 license machines and hundreds of employees touching the licenses, one printing facility in Danville with 15 employees will produce all the cards."
In the past five years, 29 DMV employees have been arrested for fraud, including one office manager who was bribed with doughnuts and pastries, confirms Stokes.
The department calls the new method state of the art– even though it uses black-and-white photos. That's so laser technology can engrave the body of the card, much like money. The new documents still use holography for a state seal visible under black light, and add a second smaller photo of the legal, card-carrying citizen that can be seen from the back of the card.
Is the U.S. mail a secure way to deliver such important identification? "Right now we mail a quarter-million licenses a year," says Stokes. "We have very minimal returns."
The Charlottesville office shuts down May 27-28 for training and to install new equipment and software. When it re-opens May 29, those needing new or renewed licenses will be sent home with a temporary driving permit that cannot be used for identification, although re-newers can keep their old licenses. The real deal should be in the mail within three days, but as Stokes notes, "Mail deliveries vary."
The DMV seems pretty confident that teens looking to fool grocery clerks and bartenders into selling them alcohol by using fake IDs will have a more difficult time creating forgeries.
Stokes quotes the DMV commissioner, who declared: "It would take the bad guys a lab with $100,000 worth of equipment to counterfeit or tamper with these."
4 comments
California's DMV said the same thing as Stokes. However, it took criminals only two weeks to start creating the fake IDs with all the "security" features. A $100K is chump change when criminals can make millions on fake IDs. There are enough illegal aliens to make it worth while. There is no surefire way to create an ID that cannot be faked.
Just like Amazon sez it's 100% secure. RIGHT!

I hadn't been having much luck finding a vintage pair at the recycle shops, and Yahoo Auctions wasn't the best place to find them either.
Unlike in America where they have sold out, it's not too hard to pick up a limited edition re-issue of Oakley Frogskins.
I got a rootbeer/fire iridium one for 17,850 yen at the Oakley store in Harajuku.
A little bit pricey, but they were the best pair of glasses I used to have, and putting these on brought back some memories. They still have a few other ones to choose from.
Neon yellow anyone?
Buying from the official store I'm sure I didn't buy a fake. Unfortunately there wasn't much sun at all to really see how good they were. I'm really hoping these don't give me a headache like the other Oakleys I bought and subsequently took back.
At another store they had a pair with clear see-through frames and purple lenses.
They weren't as dark as the ones I bought, but there was something about them I liked.
I was close to buying them as well, but I'm just going to see how I go with the ones I have, and if I REALLY want to blow some more money I'll go back for them.
They were about 2000 yen cheaper too.
I just wish they hadn't released these as a limited edition. I might have been able to get these for much less.
The other blue (cheap) sunglasses I bought from Donki (that's Don Quijote) recently were ok, but I wasn't 100% satisfied with them. Light and wind were leaking in from underneath making them less than perfect.
I'm finding Yahoo Auctions a bit disappointing lately.
You can't snipe at the end of auctions like on eBay. If you do a late bid, it just adds more time for someone to bid it up even higher. Those Japanese are real sneaky with their bidding too.
Unless you have a premium account you can't bid over 5000 yen, so although there's a lot of stuff I'd like to buy, the prices get inflated far too quick.
We had a big day today.
From Omotosando and Harajuku, to Daikanyama and Roppongi. We settled on TGI Fridays and a "World's Greatest Burger" for dinner. A little expensive (1,780 yen), but these are big burgers with a side of fries as well.
We stopped briefly in Akasaka Mitsuke for some coffee before finally going home.
At last a day off I could do something other than stay home because of rain.

No, Kelvin Gastelum's relationship status on Facebook hasn't changed since the fifth episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 17" aired.
His girlfriend doesn't mind that UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey wanted to meet him and coach a training session.
"She was cool about it," Gastelum (4-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "She's pretty awesome."
Rousey, who headlines Saturday's UFC 157 event in the first UFC women's bout, called to congratulate the 21-year-old fighter – the youngest in the show's history – after he upset the more experienced Robert "Bubba" McDaniel (20-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC). The bout aired Tuesday on FX.
Gastelum's teammates laughed when he appeared tongue-tied at Rousey's offer to trainm and they teased him that he was busted.
But all is well. In fact, it was the second time Gastelum had heard from Rousey. The women's MMA starlet had called him prior to the bout to wish him luck. He used it as inspiration.
"I'm a huge Ronda fan, and it was great to have that phone call," he said.
The man who set it up, coach Chael Sonnen, was also instrumental in helping Gastelum buck the odds against McDaniel, who was expected to go far on the show as a teammate of opposing coach and UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
"It was a great surprise," Gastelum said. "I was just thankful to Chael for helping me out and giving me that extra boost."
And it was Sonnen who provided motivation after a first round that saw a flurry of reversals between the middleweight hopefuls.
"He really relaxed me and told me I could win this fight," Gastelum said.
So as the fight went into the second round, Gastelum capitalized when he felt the older McDaniel tiring. When the two hit the canvas, he took back mount, where he slapped on a rear-naked choke and squeezed with all his might until McDaniel tapped out.
Gastelum had squeaked by in his elimination-round fight to get into the house and was the last pick for Team Sonnen. He was smaller than McDaniel, had less professional fights, and didn't make his way onto the show from a super camp.
"To [McDaniel], I'm just a little punk kid trying to work my way up," Gastelum said. "He overlooked me. Everybody overlooked me."
But he fooled everyone.
Now, will he return the favor to Rousey when she looks to defend her title against Liz Carmouche?
"No, no," he said. "I don't have her number. Even if I did, I probably wouldn't. Maybe a tweet."

Andrés Alvira
Andrés Alvira is an Uruguayan artist born in the city of Maldonado.
The starting point of most of his works is in landscape; his admiration for nature and the Uruguayan coast are recurrent in his work. However, there are also cityscapes, cities, and ports within his body of work.
The synthesis of his painting leads to increasingly abstract work with large patches of color that support an accented line forming a whole. His paintings are created with distinct rhythm and movement, and his palette can range from shades of gray to stronger colors closer to Fauvism.
Andrés paintings portray constant movement, experimentation, and learning inspired by the states of our being and his internal atmosphere.

The Houston Dynamo Academy, presented by Statoil, will host the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team in the official soft opening event at BBVA Compass Stadium. The match will take place on May 10 at 7:30 p.m. CT and will be open to Dynamo season ticket holders, sponsors and select guests. Fans will be required to present an e-ticket that will be emailed to them in the coming weeks.
The match will culminate a week's worth of events, leading up to the grand opening of BBVA Compass Stadium on May 12 when the Dynamo host D.C. United, presented by Greenstar Recycling. This will be the second time the Dynamo Academy has played the U.S. U-17 MNT. The two teams played to a scoreless tie on May 22, 2010.
Purchase 2012 Dynamo season tickets
"The soft opening is a great opportunity for season ticket holders to come on out and get a preview of BBVA Compass Stadium," Dynamo president Chris Canetti said. "It is also a chance for them to get comfortable with their seats and surroundings. At the same time, it will be a tremendous opportunity for our Academy and an honor to host the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team. It will be a valuable dress rehearsal for everyone based around an exciting soccer match."
The U-17 MNT is led by head coach Richie Williams, who took over the role in January 2012. The squad features players eligible for the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, with players born from 1994-95.
"To have the chance to be a part of the stadium opening in Houston will be a unique experience for our players," said U.S. U-17 Men's National Team head coach Richie Williams. "The atmosphere and excitement around the event will add a different element to the opportunity of playing against a good opponent, and we're thrilled to be invited."
The BBVA Compass Stadium soft opening will be the first opportunity for Dynamo season ticket holders to watch a soccer match from their seats in BBVA Compass Stadium. In addition, the adidas Dynamo Team Store will be open for fans to purchase team apparel, and the stadium concessions stands will be open for food and beverage purchases.

Police: 7 dead, including suspect, at Sikh temple in Wisconsin
Photo: AP
OAK CREEK, Wis. -- Police in Wisconsin say seven people are dead at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, including the suspected gunman.
Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt says tactical officers have been through the temple where shots were fired about 10:30 a.m. Sunday. He says they found four people inside the building and three people outside.
He says one of those killed outside is the suspect, who fired on the first officer to arrive. Wentlandt says that officer fired back, killing the suspect. He says the officer is now at an area hospital in surgery.
Wentlandt says police do not believe a second shooter was involved.
He also says the best information he has is that two people, including the officer who was shot, were taken to hospitals.

Product Description
A sequel to the light kit I did for the iPhone 4, this kit works for the iPhone 6S Plus ONLY and, just like the old kit, makes the Apple logo on the back of the phone light up just like it does on a Macbook. It's a super slick (and not gaudy frankly) way of making your iPhone stand out in a sea of iPhones.
Some of the features of the kit:
- Won't affect battery life (uses the screen's power and is LED).
- No welding or crazy stuff like that; just follow my video below for installation instructions.
- You can easily undo it and put back the original Apple logo if needed.
- Since it's connected to the screen, it dims when the screen dims and can have it's brightness controlled by changing the screen brightness.
- It's awesome.
Here's a video on how to install the light kit:
For the price of a fancy case you can get this super unique mod on your iPhone!
Please keep in mind that, as this isn't the easiest thing to install, there are no refunds for you just "not being able to get it to work". I am, however, happy to help you to get it to work via email or send a replacement kit if needed. Thanks for understanding!

There was a movie that came out about 1-3 years ago at most that was about an alien race that invaded Earth and they hid in plain sight, and would literally snuff people right out of thin air. I think something happened in the atmosphere that let people know that they were in the area.
I also remember from the trailer, 2-3 white people were walking in the middle of the street talking and gasping, and something happened in the atmosphere and they knew the aliens were there. I think they had flashlights or something.
Any ideas what this movie is?

How can I estimate kernel density, taking barriers (i.e. a priori zero-probability regions) into account?
At the moment, regions where the population cannot occur are clipped out for display. However, I imagine this is biasing the results, since observations near the zero-probability regions don't have as much impact as they might.
I have several thousand observations, so a tool or programmatic solution is a necessity. Bonus points for an implementation in ArcGIS or R.

CHICAGO — The billionaire who created Beanie Babies broke down crying in court Wednesday as he pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion for hiding $25 million in income in secret Swiss bank accounts.
H. Ty Warner, 69, also apologized as he stood before a federal judge in Chicago, removing his designer tortoise-shell glasses and wiping away tears as he struggled to regain his composure.
"I have so much to be thankful for," said the suburban Chicago businessman, his voice breaking as he cited his Illinois-based stuffed-toy company, TY Inc. "There is no excuse for my actions."
The toy-maker's 18-page plea deal says guidelines call for a prison term of around four years — a calculation that makes it likely he'll serve time behind bars. It also requires he pay a $53 million civil penalty.
As Judge Charles Kocoras began questioning Warner about his intention to plead guilty, Warner cupped his hand over his ear, asking the judge if he could speak up. "My hearing isn't so good," Warner said.
When asked if he understood the potential penalties included prison, Warner replied quietly, "Yes, sir."
Beanie Babies first appeared in the '90s, triggering a craze for the plush toys fashioned into bears and other animals. An explosion of sales made Warner rich; Forbes recently put his net worth at $2.6 billion.
As an emotional Warner continued to apologize during Wednesday's hearing, his head bowed over a courtroom podium, before Kocoras finally stopped him, telling him he could elaborate at his Jan. 15 sentencing.
"There will be time for you to bare your soul (later)," the judge said.
Warner admitted he evaded paying $5 million in taxes due to the IRS over an 11-year period by setting up the secret accounts. At one point, he was concealing as much as $107 million, prosecutors said.

Road Safety Campaigns
Fourth Road Safety Week (5 - 11 April 2004)
The human factor exerts a dominant influence on road safety.The implementation of measures that may effectively influence the behaviour of road users are recognized, therefore, as a vital aim of road safety activities.
Road safety campaigns are an important tool for reaching this aim. They complement, but do not replace, however, regular year-long activities aimed at improving road safety. Safety campaigns, directed at a specific target group of road users and designed to change their behaviour, should involve governmental, municipal and non-governmental institutions and organizations and mass media as widely as possible.
The results of road safety campaigns depend however, first of all, on the manner of communication to road users. Since the target of the campaigns are people or groups of people, and as the characteristics of their behaviour is different from one country to another, Governments have so far followed their own approach in this field. While most of the rules and regulations governing road safety are becoming uniform in all countries due to the increasingly wider application of UN/ECE agreements and conventions, the specific messages addressed to the target group chosen for a campaign may vary from country to country and even within a single country.
Nevertheless, the UN/ECE recommends the following principles which can be applied to road safety campaigns in all countries:
- Communication in road safety should not be used only as an isolated safety measure but should also be combined with other measures, such as legislation, education and enforcement.
- The prime aim of communication should be to motivate the target group to adopt safer behaviour as a matter of habit or, in general, to increase awareness of safety problems. Messages should be designed, therefore, not only to attract attention but also to stress the point that each individual is running dangers and is likely to have an accident, thereby overcoming any psychological resistance and changing it into acceptance.
- The message should be as specific as possible so as to provide as clear guideline for a given situation and it must be seen as true. The informant and the information medium should inspire confidence by their actions and the use of reliable information sources. Effective communication depends also on a reliable, detailed and up-to-date system of statistics.
- Communication should also take into consideration the fact that individuals have the tendency to overestimate the possibility provided by the technical devices of their vehicles and their driving capability and thus feel safer than they really are. The factors necessary for a successful dialogue between traffic experts and road users can be inspired from marketing communication techniques. Appropriate media and advertising forms, most suitable for the target group and the theme chosen, should be selected.

Herschel was the largest space telescope of its kind; its 3.5 m-diameter mirror collected long-wavelength infrared radiation from some of the coolest and most distant objects in the Universe. During its mission, Herschel was the only space observatory that covered the spectral range from far-infrared to sub-millimeter wavelengths.
Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009, 13:12 CEST, together with another satellite, Planck, which is studying the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, on an Ariane 5 ECA launcher. Almost 26 minutes after launch, and about two minutes from each other, they were released separately (Herschel first) on a trajectory toward a virtual point in space, called L2, some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth in the direction opposite to the Sun.
The mission
The satellite was a tall 'tube' 7.5 m high and 4 m wide, with a launch mass of around 3.3 tonnes; it carried an infrared telescope and three scientific instruments. The bulk of the spacecraft consisted of a liquid helium thermos bottle inside which the instrument detectors sat to be cooled down to only a few degrees above absolute zero, some of them even to a fraction of a degree.
Herschel was designed to perform routine science operations for a minimum of three years at its orbit around L2. The mission ended on 29 April 2013 when the helium used to cool the focal plane of the scientific instruments was depleted. After a series of thruster burns to move the satellite into a safe disposal orbit, the spacecraft was shut down. The last command was sent at 14:25 CEST, 17 June 2013.
The Herschel Mission Operations Centre (MOC) was located at ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany.

The Flight Control Team
The Flight Control Team worked from the Herschel Dedicated Control Room located at ESOC. Spacecraft Operations Manager Micha Schmidt, from Germany, was assigned to Herschel in 2002.
In the two-year period prior to launch, he assembled and trained the FCT and worked with the team and other experts at ESOC to develop the mission control system and practise and perfect flight operations processes and procedures. After launch, the team was actively engaged in operating the satellite and commissioning systems and instruments.
Mission operations overviewHerschel was launched from ESA's Spaceport at the Guiana Space Centre, Kourou, French Guiana, on 14 May 2009 at 13:12 CEST, precisely as planned, together with ESA's Planck spacecraft. The launch, separation and orbit injection for both satellites was textbook perfect.
The Ariane 5 ECA launcher burned its solid boosters for slightly less than 2½ minutes and its main engine for about nine minutes to lift Herschel and Planck into a ballistic coast orbit. After coasting for 107 minutes, the Ariane 5 upper stage ignited for just over 17 minutes to inject Herschel and then Planck into separate transfer trajectories. After separation, Herschel entered free flight as a three-axis stabilised satellite (Planck, in contrast, rotates to perform its scientific mission).
Herschel will take between four and six months to reach its orbit around L2, the second Lagrange point of the Earth-Sun system, 1.5 million km from the Earth. During the journey Herschel will perform a number of manoeuvres.
Launch plus one days
Perigee velocity correction and trajectory correction to remove launch dispersion (change in speed of 8.7 m/s)
Launch plus twelve days
Fine correction to launch dispersion manoeuvre dispersion
Mid course correction manoeuvre, if needed
At L2, Herschel entered a large Lissajous orbit about the Lagrange point.
Lissajous orbits are the natural motion of a satellite around a collinear libration point in a two-body system and require less momentum change (i.e. thruster firings) to be expended for station keeping than halo orbits, in which the satellite follows a simple circular or elliptical path about the libration point.
While complex, this orbit will provide an ideal environment for a space observatory: far from the Earth and its magnetic field (which traps the solar wind) and far away from both the Sun and Earth, whose emitted or reflected light can damage sensitive optical instruments.
The ground station - New Norcia - DSA 1
DSA 1 is designed for deep-space satellite missions and provides daily support to Mars Express, Rosetta and Venus Express for routine operations.
DSA 1 (Deep Space Antenna 1), located at New Norcia, Australia, hosts a 35m deep-space antenna with transmission and reception in both S- and X-band. The town of New Norcia is 140 km north of Perth, Western Australia.
For Herschel, the Earth-to-spacecraft distance varied between approximately 1.2 to 1.8 million km. Note that the Estrack stations at Kourou and at Maspalomas and Cebreros, Spain, also supported Herschel during the Launch and Early Orbit and commissioning phases.
Ground segment & mission control system
Herschel used the SCOS-2000 mission control system.
In addition to the MOC at ESOC, the ground segment comprised the Herschel Science Centre (HSC), located at ESA's European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), Madrid, supported by NASA's Herschel Science Center (NHSC), located at the agency's Infrared Processing and Analysis Centre (IPAC, JPL, California), which acted as the point of interface to the American science community.
There were also three dedicated Instrument Control Centres (ICCs), one for each instrument on board the spacecraft, provided by the respective principal investigators.
The observatory schedule was based on a database of accepted observations, fed by requests from the scientific community. The long-term mission plan – plus short-term observing schedules – together with the corresponding instrument commands was produced in the mission planning system at the HSC, and transferred to the MOC at ESOC. The MOC added in the current required satellite commands and produced the final detailed mission timeline that was uplinked to the spacecraft.
Observational data were stored on board, and downlinked to the New Norcia station (backed-up by DSA 2, Cebreros station) during passes lasting approximately three hours. The satellite was capable of storing two operational days of observational data in the on-board computer in case any downlink passes were missed. The down-linked satellite telemetry was transferred from the ground station to the MOC, where it was consolidated and transferred to the HSC.
The platform and payload
The platform
The Herschel spacecraft had a modular design, comprising the Extended Payload Module (EPLM) and the Service Module (SVM). The EPLM consisted of the PLM 'proper' with a superfluid helium cryostat housing the Herschel optical bench (HOB), and supporting the telescope, the sun-shield/shade and payload associated equipment.
The SVM housed 'warm' payload electronics and provided the necessary 'infrastructure' for the satellite such as power, attitude and orbit control, the on-board data handling and command execution, communications and safety.
The payload
The Herschel science payload comprised three instruments that perform a combination of spectrometry, imaging spectrometry and imaging photometry covering a wavelength range from 60 to 670 µm.
- Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS), a camera and a low- to medium-resolution spectrometer for wavelengths up to about 205 micrometres. It uses two bolometer detector arrays in the camera and two photo-conductor detector arrays in the spectrometer.
- Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE), a camera and a low- to medium-resolution spectrometer for wavelengths longer than 200 micrometres. It uses five detector arrays: three to take images of infrared sources in three different infrared 'colours' and two to fully analyse the longer infrared light being released from the source.
- Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared (HIFI), a highly accurate spectrometer that can be used to obtain information about the chemical composition, kinematics, and physical environment of infrared sources.

2008 Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris has suddenly become a hot seller thanks to its excellent fuel economy and solid Toyota build quality. Through the first half of 2008, Yaris sales are up 39 percent compared to 2007 (sales of the Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent, and Suzuki SX4 are up even more), yet Yaris pricing remains competitively low. The liftback version starts at only $11,550 (our liftback tester with a four-speed automatic transmission sells for $14,125), and buyers can order their new Yaris econo-hatch with everything or seemingly nothing.
A 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual transmission are standard on the car, as are air conditioning and color-keyed mirrors and door handles. Creature comforts such as power windows and locks, a rear defroster and rear wiper, fifteen-inch alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, and an MP3 compatible stereo system are available through option packages. Buyers can also give their Yaris a more performance-oriented look by ordering the S package (which adds front and rear lip spoilers) and fog lights. For those worried about accident protection, the Yaris features available ABS with electronic brake-force distribution, available side airbags, and side-curtain airbags for both front and rear passengers.
But what makes this featherweight (2326-pound) commuter car attractive isn't its looks or safety credentials. Consumers shopping for a Yaris are simply looking for one thing - the best small car value.
Does this Toyota deliver?
ExteriorIs that a bug on the road?
Eyeing our blue Yaris from the street, we noticed a few obvious things. Styling on the liftback is quirkier than that of the Yaris sedan (squint hard and it sort of looks like a smashed bug), but body panel fit is tight, unlike that of the old Echo. Seeing that Toyota didn't skimp on assembly makes us believe this car should hold up for many years to come.
We like the roof antennae, side marker lights, and the optional front and rear bumper lips on our Yaris S model. However, we're not sure that we would pay extra for the cosmetic body enhancements. Ditto for the available alloy wheels - this car is for basic transportation, not a Sunday car show. The Yaris's bubbly, obtuse front nose is different from anything else on the road, and it also helped earn the Toyota a "good" frontal crash test rating from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety.
InteriorLacks convenience, not space
Saying the Yaris has a minimalist interior might be an understatement. Want to open the door locks or roll down the windows? Don't look for buttons - all cabin mechanisms on our test car were manually operated. Plop into the driver's seat and you're staring at a vast, gray plastic dashboard (which actually hides one of 20 storage compartments just beyond the steering wheel). On our test model, overall dash fit and finish seemed to suffer, as the storage boxes scratched easily and did not always align with the rest of the plastic molding.
Unfortunately, the Yaris was also built with a center-mounted instrument panel. Not only are the gauges sitting in an inconvenient place, but they stare straight at the back seat. Why didn't Toyota at least tilt the cluster to face the driver (such as in the discontinued Saturn Ion) and place the speedometer closer to the driver's eyes? Climate and radio controls are easy to use, though, and air conditioning and a tilt steering wheel are standard equipment. A CD/MP3 stereo with audio mini-jack is optional.
Interior dimensions are impressive thanks to the Yaris liftback's height. It has enough headroom and rear space for a vacationing couple, and the Yaris sedan even has a bit more cargo volume than the larger 2008 Toyota Corolla - 25.7 cubic feet of room with the seats folded down. Seats are supportive, but fabric quality is only par for the car's price class.
PowertrainThe little engine that could...save you money
Toyota's 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is the Yaris's only motivation. It puts out 106 hp @ 6000 rpm and 103 lb-ft of torque - barely enough to comfortably haul more than two adults - and when linked to a four-speed automatic transmission, it struggles to pull the Yaris through traffic or onto highways. Shifts take significant time, but once up to speed, the powertrain is able to relax and recover from high-revving use. However, the payoff for the Yaris's slow speed is phenomenal gas mileage. Choosing a manual transmission over an automatic increases the Yaris's EPA estimated highway fuel economy a notch, from 35 mpg to a class-leading 36 mpg (which translates to roughly a 400-mile highway driving range). All Yaris models get an impressive 29 mpg in city driving.
Chassis/Suspension You get what you ask for
The Yaris is not meant to feel or drive like a sport compact, and it doesn't. There is some body roll if you push the car around bends, but on rough roads, the independent suspension absorbs enough punishment to make rides bearable (just don't hit any potholes that are bigger than the car). We do, however, wonder how the ride would improve with Toyota's optional fifteen-inch alloy wheels.
Driving DynamicsShort of hitting the snooze button
If you can handle the occasional frustration of not being able to keep up with quicker traffic, the Yaris offers drivers a solid, well-controlled ride with great all-around visibility. For a subcompact, the car handles and brakes well, although we wish there was more feedback from the electric power steering. Overall, the Yaris's cabin insulation isn't poor, but loud, buzzy engine noise from under the dashboard is an issue passengers have to live with. And if the engine noise isn't enough to keep you alive at the wheel, try ordering the five-speed manual transmission.
ConclusionA competitive subcompact
For more than $14,000, the Yaris we sampled comes with some nostalgic old-school features - roll-down windows, manual locks - and an average warranty (3-year/36,000-mile comprehensive, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain). It also comes with fewer trips to the fuel pump, which could help buyers stay sane as gas prices rise. Yet subcompacts such as the Hyundai Accent and the Suzuki SX4 are better values. Hyundai and Suzuki offer longer warranties, while the Accent and SX4 both engage the driver more, feature higher quality interior materials, and have sufficient dashboard insulation - all important aspects of a subcompact that will likely serve as a commuter car. If we had to choose a Yaris, we'd pick the sedan model based on looks and the convenience of having another two doors. Or perhaps we'd wait for the Yaris liftback five-door model, scheduled to arrive in the U.S. by the end of this summer.

Head Start bus hits car on way to school, police say
16 kids aboard bus; no injuries reported
MONROE, Wis. — Monroe Police Department said a school bus carrying 16 kids hit another vehicle in an intersection Thursday morning.
According to the report, a Head Start school bus driven by 57-year-old Dianne Herbst of Gratiot, Wis., was crossing an uncontrolled intersection just after 8 a.m. when it hit a car driven by 41-year-old Beth Jarosz of Monroe. Police said the bus and the car sustained moderate to severe damage.
The bus was carrying 16 children and an adult teacher's aide to school. Police said Monroe EMS evaluated four of the bus passengers for injuries on the scene. Four boys, ages 7, 10, 11 and 14, were checked but none were transported for treatment.
The bus then continued to school.
Neither driver reported injuries at the scene, according to the report.
The accident happened at the intersection of 20th Street and 12th Avenue, police said.
Monroe Police Chief Fred Kelley said the incident is under investigation and no citations were issued at the scene.

Richard Platte Jr., lead manager of the Ave Maria Rising Dividend Fund, has a problem with the premise of our first interview question.
Asked at the 2102 Morningstar Investment Conference in Chicago on Wednesday if socially responsible investing means sacrificing performance for investment scruples, Platte initially ignored the question in order to set the record straight.
"Morally, not socially, responsible investing," Platte said. "If George Schwartz [CEO of Schwartz Investment Counsel, Ave Maria's investment advisor] heard you say that, he's jump to correct it, so I just want to point that out."
He then noted the fund's five-star rated, risk-off portfolio that looks for "solid, well-run companies to invest in for the long term."
"About 5% of our Russell 1,000 benchmark is off limits, because those companies invest in areas that are inconsistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church and something with which we disagree," he explained. "There's an incremental diminution of return any time you outright ban something like that, but performance is solid nonetheless."
Banned sectors are what one would think; for example, companies that in any way invest or participate in the promotion of abortion and abortifacient pharmaceuticals, embryonic stem cell research or pornography.
"So an organization like Planned Parenthood wouldn't make it past our screen," he added. "We've had conversations with company executives where they say, 'It's only a very small part of what we do.' Well, even so, if it's any part of what they do we won't invest."
Ave Maria's Catholic Advisory Board is a who's who of famous Catholics from the sports, money and political world, including Notre Dame coaching legend Lou Holtz, CNBC host Larry Kudlow, Domino's Pizza founder Thomas Monaghan and pro-life activist Phyllis Schlafly.
The fund's religious standards are overseen by the board, which is "loyal to the Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. Each member is familiar with its basic tenets and core teachings. They meet regularly to review the fund's moral standards and criteria."
Even though the name of Platte's fund is the Rising Dividend Fund, Platte said it's not so much about dividend yield in the traditional sense, rather more about growth.
"Dividend growth is an outward sign of inward quality at a company. Companies that put themselves on a 'dividend diet,' meaning they pay a dividend just because they feel they have to, are not doing what they should."
He also said he and his team avoid so-called "faux dividends," companies that raise their dividend by something like a penny to look good with analysts, but it's something that doesn't do much for the shareholders.
"We look for capital appreciation and dividends, as well as the price to value ratio and, of course, performance," he noted.
He particularly likes the industrial sector at the moment, especially those companies with a heavy international presence.
As far as his near-term outlook, he said he doesn't put much faith (said with a straight face) in predictions of a "fiscal cliff" and other dire warnings on the road ahead.
"Politicians will do something; they'll have to as a true crisis nears," he concluded. "I'm more interested in them keeping the preferential treatment of dividends in place, for obvious reasons, although they traditionally perform well in really any tax environment."

As if Mars wasn't a hostile enough environment already, now it's come to light that computer glitch-causing radioactive energy might be flying around. That's one theory as to why NASA was forced to put the Curiosity Rover into safe mode this week, at least.
When Curiosity's A-side computer experienced a memory issue and failed to send some data back to Earth on Feb. 27, NASA switched on the B-side computer and set to troubleshooting. Thank goodness they had a backup, right?
In an interview with Space.com NASA's Curiosity Project Manager, Richard Cook said that it could take as long as a week to get everything working again. He said the memory glitch could have been caused by a radioactive "high-energy particle," and that they're looking into it.
Here's hoping the little fella recovers swiftly. You never know what could be up there with it.
Don't flip out: I just flipped over to my B-side computer while the team looks into an A-side memory issue [Twitter via Ars Technica]

The mirrors look great and magnify more than stock mirrors. However (depending on the car) When you take off the stock mirror the place where the mirror once was looks rather goofy. Also (i dont know if it specifies) they are not power mirrors. But other than that they are definatly flashy looking mirrors

Its a privilege and am honoured being a member of the BDOTNET group. We meet every fortnight and discuss about latest technology, meet the technology expert, learn from the sessions by speakers & best part is the networking with great and innovative minds while sharing information. The interest for community attracts many folks to forum like BDOTNET. The funda is simple "Lets grow together†.
After a couple of regular UG MEET this year we got this opportunity to experience a technology extravaganza DEVCON-2012. I attended the #devcon12 this Saturday at Microsoft Building, Bangalore. Some of the tips , tricks and learning I was interested to share goes like this.
Let me clarify few things…If you have missed devcon12, may be you have missed
some funny moments with technology, some great learning, some goodies, some books , you missed the opportunity to meet speakers , great products demo, technology enthusiast and above all some great authors.
After the keynote by Ranjan Bhattacharjee (Group Manager, India Global Technical Support Centre, Microsoft) the great technology events begins with lots of enthusiasm and passion. I remember Ranjan saying "With a little tweak you can take this technology to any device and keep working on your skill be it C# or it is HTML5, you can still develop great product with Windows 8â€. He deliver a nice and a quick intro on windows 8 and welcome everybody to the devco2012.
Fortunately/unfortunately I attended some great sessions and missed some very great to.
ASP.NET MVC4 + Web API by Chaitra Nagaraj
Just before the session Chaitra asked me "How many??†, I told her "Housefull †and it was a housefull session. The love for web brings everyone to session like ASP.NET MVC .
You can create new APIs using this new ASP.NET Web API framework. She displayed some really cool demo and put emphasis on how to cover a larger audience starting from web to mobile devices by designing HTTP services using ASP.NET Web API.
You can install the mvc4 RC from http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4 and start learning it from http://www.asp.net/web-api . If you need some documents on the same visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=243043. Just for HTML5 lovers check what you can do with MVC using the html5 & JQUERY datepicker
Query composition, Code-based configuration, Content negotiation and so many other cool features are there in the ASP.NET web API. Chaitra has promised she will be coming back with some other cool demos in future UG Meet.
Building Applications for Intel Ultrabook Platform and Windows* 8 by Rajagopal A
Rajagopal is a Intel Ultrabook Technology Champion and travel more than 80KM everyday to build his passion and provide a shape to it. He demonstrated the new UltraBook the slimmest ever model I have ever seen. After the first view itself I was "Inspired by Intelâ€.
Once you have this Ultrabook in your hand "Suddenly everything else seems old-fashionedâ€
Its true when Intel says "Intel® Rapid Start Technology returns your Ultrabook to full operational power within seconds, so you can jump right back into everything you were doing.â€
He displayed the beauty of ultabook with Windows 8 and gave some tips and tricks to develop the touch based , gesture based, sensor based and others on the Windows 8 platform with APIs from Microsoft. The best thing is he promised a half day meeting if we can come up with some apps for ULTRABOOK and need some help/suggestion on the same.
Ignite the Leader within you by Vinod Kumar
Vinod ~ "Let me ask you couple of questionsâ€
What is leadership to you?
Are leaders born or made?
These are very common questions , but if you can answer these in uncommon way you get it.
When you watch movies like LAAGAN , whether it really motivates you or just for the sake of entertainment you loved it. You may recall the scene where Amir Khan convinced the management (sarpanch) and the team players to include "Kachra (was treated as untouchable)†in the cricket team telling "The team is efficient but the best part is what we don't have or what we are missing will be fulfilled by Kachraâ€. Amir Khan has displayed the real Leadership attitude and managed to bring Kachra into the team.
Real leadership is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow.
Its always good to follow leaders but at the same time find out the leader inside you
"The first person you lead is YOU.â€
Some keywords that focus on the "Leadership Aspect†are Self Confidence, Accountability, Focus on the whole, courage etc. Just try to cultivate this and define yourself.
Emotional Quotient controls you many time, before you flow with this – control your Emotional Quotient. People are attached to leaders and not managers. Being a manager doesn't make you a leader.
Vinod Kumar , a all time favourite speaker of mine presented a different topic and try to ignite the mind of the young and talented professionals to start thinking different as they can. We have never missed a session from Vinod, because of his guidance. He is guru for me & Sudeepta.
He suggested to some good books: 7 habits of highly effective people, Start with Why by Simon Sinek, Lets get real or let's not play by Mahan Khalsa
He delivered more than what we have expected for the day. The session is not the end , he has open his teaching through his blogs on the no-technical aspect of a highly technical professional. http://blogs.extremeexperts.com/
SQL Server Tips and Tricks for Web Developers by Pinal Dave
People consider most of the SQL session as dry. Ask them to attend a session by Pinal Dave. I don't want to praise him because he presented a nice session and people enjoyed a lot, but I should praise him because every single morning he teaches me a new concept in SQL Server and I love the way he does it. I want to congratulate him because in last 5 years
@pinaldave has completed 2200 blog post at @sqlauthority & 22 Episode of SQL in Sixty Seconds. I heard Vinod telling "Pinal works very hard and prepares a lotâ€. That hard work is his key to success and his energy and passion he gathers during each and every presentations he delivers.
This time also it was LOL session. This time he taught some fundamental but nice concepts for performance using keywords IN, EXISTS and JOIN. Scalar Functions help you to give a tough time to the DBAs . (Do not try it in your production but )
Visual Studio 2012 – Tips & Tricks by Lohith G N
A much awaited speaker for the day with his cool "Tips & Tricks†for speeding up development with Visual Studio. Love to use the keyboard
Every shortcut he spells the audience used to say "WOWâ€. Visual Studio 2012 is the latest offering from Microsoft in the Integrated Development Editor segment.
Check some of the shortcut provided by MSDN
Lohith is a true BDTONETTER by heart , the best part is in each of his presentation he proudly claim that. This entire devcon12 was smoothly organised because of his hard work and dedication to the details.
HTML5 – what you NEED to know by Amar Nithyananda
This session was to clear the confusion , whether to go for the much hyped HTML5 or not and how are the Microsoft tools and technology are related to HTML5.
Amar demonstrated some cool demos with Visual Studio , MVC using HTML5. He told bits & Bytes on using different websites to check compatibility of HTML5. Which browsers supports the maximum features. He spoke about different new features on HTML5 and how its gong to impact the web.
Amar will be sharing the slides of his talk in FB for all.
Closing Notes
Finally Vinod presented the vote of thanks to everyone including the audience, the speakers, the volunteers and last but not the least the companies who made this day, the sponsors TELERIK, Microsoft, Pluralsight and INTEL.
I met the author of one of my favorite book 3Lives Srinic.
Everyone who walked out from the room got a Pluralsight Subscription coupn worth $29 and keychain from Telerik. Couple of them got books from SQLAuthority, T shirts from Telerik and almost all of them with great learning from the day.
Intel also announced a contest for which Lohith says
|If you did not attend the DevCon 2012 event. Intel one of the sponsors of the event has announced "EXO PC" as a giveaway to the best blog article on the event. So those of you who attended the event – hurry and write what you felt about DevCon 2012 as a blog post. paste the link to the blog post on BDotNet facebook wall….. so whos gonna win the EXO PC"

Morenci schools will be in search of a new administrator with the departure of Nate Parker on Monday.
Parker accepted a position last week with Adrian Public Schools as the principal of the district's seventh and eighth grade building.
Parker joined the Morenci district in 2000 as the district's Spanish teacher, but he's filled several roles since then.
In 2005, Parker was hired to serve as high school principal, but two years later he was back in the classroom for half of the school day due to budget problems.
In February of this year, Parker also served as the district's interim superintendent between the departure of Kyle Griffith and the hiring of Dr. Michael Osborne.
For the approaching school year, Parker was to face another challenge as principal of both the middle and high schools.
That new role made his decision to take the Adrian job easier.
"It's been a difficult decision because of the great people here," Parker said in reference to school personnel, parents and community members. "But with my young family, the schedule of a middle school principal would be more conducive to my situation."
Middle school athletic events end earlier in the day than high school events, he said, which will allow him to return home to his wife and three preschool age children.
In his resignation letter, Parker stated that he was fortunate to work with Griffith and Osborne, and cited several other staff members that he referred to as "dedicated individuals."
"Morenci's strength is truly the people working here," he stated. "Morenci has outstanding people working in its schools and its community and it has truly been a privilege to come to work here every day."
High expectations are set for students, he said, and they're held accountable so they can realize their potential.

- Tea, coffee etc.
- Chocolate
Sourcing some of the World's finest organic ingredients and producing in Switzerland, this award-winning dark chocolate brand is so tasty and full of flavours, that you'll love it.
In fact, the origin of Chocolate and Love is also a love story: A chocolate craving Scotsman and a foodie Dane met and took a fancy to each other. So they set out to create one of the best organic ethical chocolate brands in the World.
Chocolate and Love was founded by Richard O'Connor and Birgitte Hovmand in 2010. Leaving behind corporate jobs as a surveyor and lawyer respectively, the couple followed their passion for chocolate and desire to develop a brand they could feel good about. Six years later they are very happy to have the range stocked across 35 countries worldwide.
The Chocolate and Love Team is delighted to have won Great Taste Awards for every flavour in the range. In total the range has won 18 awards so far and most recently picked up 3 Great Taste Awards in 2016.
We hope you enjoy our chocolate! Remember when you taste chocolate: Let it melt (and more flavours will be released!).Chocolate is always nice. But when you have not tasted Chocolate&Love you missed something. For those who want to try there is 40 grams, but there is also 80 and 100 grams. Look what this category can offer you:
