You might feel like you've stepped back in time a few centuries. Well, except for the engine on the boat and the slightly silly sailor's outfit the ferryman is forced to wear.
This is one of (at least) two ferries going across the Vltava at regular intervals, all day, every day. It costs the price of a tram ticket. And of course if you have a public transportation pass, then it's free. You will see people going across and straight back again, just for the hell of it. We basically did the same -- with a short stroll in between rides.
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, has long attracted artists and wandering spirits, although it was originally inhabited by prehistoric fish. Their inland sea filled the basin contained by the Tatras and Carpathian mountains, but when it eventually dried up they were forced to yield the terrain to dinosaurs, wooly mammoths and Neanderthals. In human times the Celtic tribes came to reside here, leaving remains dating back to the 4th Century B.C. Their tribal name, Boii, gives the root of the word "Bohemia". The three separate territories of Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia now make up the modern Czech Republic, which split from Slovakia in the 1993 "Velvet Divorce." Thanks to its enigmatic founder, the city of Prague derives a magnetic appeal for visionaries, scientists and astronomers. The historical figure credited with the launch of Prague is Princess Libuse, a visionary prophet and warrior who once stood atop the hill at Vysehrad and made the prophecy as follows, "I see a vast city, whose glory will touch the stars!" This indeed came to pass after she took Otokar Premysl to be her husband and King, launching the Premyslid dynasty, and leaving it to rule for the first four hundred years of Czech history. When the last Premyslid king, Wenceslas III, died without producing a male heir, the fourteen year-old John of Luxembourg came to take the throne of the Czech lands. Hot-headed John died in battle, but his diplomatic son Charles IV inherited the throne and, through keen multi-lingual savvy, managed to both keep it and earn the title "Father of the Czech Nation." Charles IV was the first of the Holy Roman Emperors here; he ruled during the height of Prague's elegance and splendour. This is the man to know if you want to understand Prague's layout. He sponsored the construction of such landmarks as the Charles Bridge, the Hunger Wall and St. Vitus' Cathedral, as well as personally designing the neighborhood called New Town (Nove Mesto) which has for its center Karlovo Namesti or Charles Square. The city displays every branch of architecture across the last thousand years, including Cubism, a style which you will be hard-pressed to find applied to buildings anywhere else in the world. Beyond the stunning visual makeup of the city, there is a wealth of nightlife and entertainment, beginning with the legendary concert halls including the Rudolfinum, National Theater, Estates Theater and the Municipal House. After investigating the Castle and Bridge, which are the most heavily-trafficked tourist areas, take a look around Zizkov and Letna, two of the cooler neighborhoods for bars and restaurants. However quiet it may seem after ten PM, Prague is alive and throbbing in an endless array of basement bars, pubs, clubs, discos and pool halls waiting to be discovered by the intrepid subterranean adventurer. To get an idea of what lies in store, check out the panoramas for Chateau and Palac Akropolis and when you're out and about, make sure you look for the stairs down to the cellar. Apart from shopping, eating, drinking and wearing out your digital camera, delve into the rich green carpet of Prague's parks, many of which lie only walking-minutes from the city center.Text by Steve Smith.

Interview With G.B. Arrington
May 16, 2007|by Gloria Ohland and Tim Halbur
Our TOD expert this month is urban designer Peter Calthorpe. Calthorpe needs little introduction- his name has become synonymous over the years with New Urbanism, smart growth, and the revival of intelligent urban design. His latest book, written with William Fulton, is called, The Regional City: New Urbanism and the End of Sprawl. We asked Peter to give us his definition of transit-oriented development.

A Detailed Look at Intel's New Core Architecture
Processors 101
Here at Spring 2006 IDF, there is really not much to do except sit around and talk about Merom, Conroe and Woodcrest, the codenames to the new mobile, desktop and server processors that are all based on Intel's new 'Core' architecture. I put 'Core' in quotations because the actual, official name of this architecture is the 'Core Architecture' so prepare to be confused for quite some time.
Name schemes aside, Intel's new offering past the NetBurst desktop core we have been used to for the past four years is really very impressive both technically and from the first benchmarks we have seen. Today we got the full technical briefing that detailed all the new features that we outlined in our first IDF article yesterday.
Quick Processor Architecture Brush Up
If you haven't looked into processor architecture before, the information presented here can be a bit overwhelming though I can provide you with a quick 'Processors 101' course that Intel showed before hand. If you just need a brush up on what makes one processor better than another, you really only need to know about one thing:
Processor design is based around two main factors. One of them is performance the other is power. Ideally you want a very powerful processor with very low power consumption, but we don't always get what we want and sometimes end up with Presler. All kidding aside, look at the performance bubble and you'll see that total performance is generally summed as your clock rate times your IPC (instructions per clock). The higher your IPC and clock rate, the faster the CPU will play your games and encode your MP3s. But when you up the frequency, for design reasons, you nearly always have to turn the IPC down and vise versa.
Power is related to the frequency and voltage needed to run the processor at a particular IPC. Deciding what is the right balance between all three of these components is where the difficulty lies, and not just in CPUs. We see this same debate between the ATI and NVIDIA GPUs on a daily basis.
The overall goal of the new Core Architecture from Intel was to increase performance while lowering power. Let's take a more detailed look at how they are accomplishing this.

Full-Size SUV Request - Reader's Letters
Dear Truck Trend,
I really enjoyed seeing and reading about the 2015 Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL in the January/February 2014 issue of your magazine. I can hardly wait to get the issue in which you do the "First Drive" on these. If I was in new car/truck sales at a Chevrolet/GMC dealer, I could hardly wait for the first quarter of 2014 to get the new HD pickups and Suburbans/Yukons on the lot. I also took interest in the letter on page 10, "Ram Suburban-Fighter?" I agree with Mr. Lopez. We need more competition in this segment.
When Ford was building the Excursion, my wife and I purchased one brand-new. Back then, we made many trips to her parents' home in Union City, Tennessee, from our home in Carthage, Texas. Any way you cook it, that's a 9-hour drive. The Excursion was great on long road trips like this. We loved our Excursion, and put 182,000 miles on it before selling it. Many other hard-core Excursion fans and I got really pissed off when Ford decided to stop building it. I can't believe that Ford just gave up and gave that market segment to Chevy and GMC. But now that Ram is building a great-looking 1500 and 2500 crew cab truck, they should make one into a Suburban-type SUV. It would sell! And Ram has the proper engine/transmission combinations to make it work as a large but economical family hauler or a great tow vehicle. I truly love the 2015 Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, but they do need some competition from the other American companies.
David W. Davis Carthage, Texas
Dear Reader,
We realize the Expedition EL isn't the same as the Excursion was -- the Excursion shared its platform with the Super Duty and the Expedition is closer to the F-150 -- but it is due for an update and may get the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine. Even with that, we suspect the Expedition won't get as dramatic an update as the Suburban and Yukon XL received. It has gotten to the point where this segment of the market has become nearly as stagnant as the compact/midsize truck category. GM was the first to make big changes there, with its upcoming Colorado and Canyon, which we hope will prompt other truckmakers to act. We hope the same will happen because of GM's moves in the full-size SUV segment, but we aren't holding our breath. However, considering the engines, transmissions, and technology Ram Truck has at hand, it could build a really cool full-size SUV, and that's something we'd like to see.

Pictured left to right: Patrick Cassidy, Garrett Kerr, Gina Guerriere, Hugo Schroeder and Nicole White.
Four Conservatory of Performing Arts stage management students had the unique opportunity to work side-by-side with Broadway's Patrick Cassidy during the fall 2013 semester.
Cassidy came to Point Park to direct the Conservatory Theatre Company's production of Oklahoma! at the Pittsburgh Playhouse.
"The stage manager is the director's right and left arm because he or she runs the show," Cassidy said. "The director leaves after opening night, and the stage manager runs the show to keep it in tact."
Senior Garrett Kerr served as the stage manager for Oklahoma!
"At Point Park, we are trained to be professionals. From the first day of freshman year, stage management majors are assisting on a production in one of the four production companies," said Kerr. "The basic principles and ideas of being a stage manager can be taught in a classroom, but where you really learn your craft is in the rehearsal room running a show."
According to Kerr, his primary function as the stage manager was to be the communication hub between all parties involved in the production — the director, designers, choreographer, technical director, etc. — and maintain an efficient and lively environment in the rehearsal room.
Fellow classmates Gina Guerriere, Nicole White and Hugo Schroeder were the assistant stage managers.
"As an assistant stage manager, I helped Garrett throughout the rehearsal process, took notes for Patrick during rehearsals and worked backstage to help run the show," explained Schroeder. "It was such an enjoyable experience working with Patrick; he really enjoys teaching and helping students grow."
Added Kerr, "Patrick expected a certain quality in my work and I was able to deliver."

The Vienna Boys' Choir, Wiener Sängerknaben, is one of the oldest boys' choirs that is not part of a church or college. In the late 15th century the choir was part of Maximilian I's court music and sang in the Imperial Chapel which he founded, but the roots of the choir go back as far as the 13th century. The choir still sings in the Imperial Chapel in Vienna on Sundays, but the boys also tour a lot. The choir has its own grammar school to ensure that its members maintain their schooling.
The choir is organized into four touring choirs named after famous Austrian composers associated with the history of the choir: Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. The Vienna Boys' Choir is a private, not-for-profit organization and is housed at the Hofburg.
The closest metro station to the Hofburg (Imperial Palace) is Herrengasse on line U3. Or tram 1, 2, D and J, get off at stop Burgring. Buses 2A and 3A stop at Hofburg.

Congressman Peter King's Muslim McCarthyism
Congressman Ellison is right. Why don't sanctimonious crusaders, like Congressman King, hold hearings on the radicalization of racists within politics instead of focusing only on Muslims? Ever since Barack Obama became president there's been a rising tide of latent racism.
[Speaking Truth To Power]
Are Congressman Peter King's planned "Muslim radicalization" congressional hearings anything more than xenophobic witch hunts that will promote bigotry against Muslims?
Later this month, Rep. King (R-NY) is holding Capitol Hill hearings, where, he promises to "drive the public debate on Islamic radicalization" of
American Muslims. King claims he has to do this because Al-Qaida is "recruiting Muslims living legally in the United States - homegrown terrorists
who have managed to stay under the anti-terror radar screen." He says "Federal and local law enforcement officials throughout the country told me they received little or - in most cases - no cooperation from Muslim leaders and imams."
All Muslim leaders and Imams?
A coalition of over 50 civil rights and religious groups—including the San Francisco based legal organization Muslim Advocates—is asking congressional leaders to include other groups, in King's hearings, or cancel them.
"Our first preference is for him to kibosh the whole thing," Farhana Khera, executive director of Muslim Advocates, said. "As it is framed now, the hearings are targeting an entire faith community, and that's not a proper exercise of Congressional authority."
Congressman Keith Ellison—a Muslim—echoed similar sentiments about King's pending investigation of the American-Muslim community. "I actually approached Congressman King on the House floor and told him that, you know, look, we all need to be concerned about violent radicalization, but not just against Muslims, against anybody," Ellison said. "What about the guy who flew a plane into the IRS or what about the guy who killed a guard at the Holocaust museum?"
Joe Stack,
53, who flew his plane into the IRS building, in Austin Texas, on Feb.
18, 2010, killing himself and IRS manager Vernon Hunter and injuring 13
people was not a Muslim. Stack wrote a suicide note complaining about
The Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting was perpetrated by White supremacist James Wenneker von Brunn, 88, on June 10, 2009. Brunn shot and killed 39-year-old Stephen Johns and wounded two security guards. Brunn died before his trial, on Jan. 6, 2010.
"I'm fearful that if you attack a discrete, insular community, that you will make people, good people, withdraw," Ellison added. "I would like to see Muslim leaders, if they feel that there is some national security threat in their midst, feel comfortable talking to the FBI, talking to local law enforcement."
Unfortunately, Republicans haven't formally responded to the concerns of religious and civil rights groups, or, of Congressman Ellison's.
"You know it is worthwhile to find out what turns somebody from a normal citizen into a violent radical," Rep. Ellison has said. "but to say that we're only going to do it against this community and we're about to change the debate to vilify this community is very scary and clearly has McCarthyistic implications."
Rep. King's "McCarthyistic" inclination, towards Muslims, shouldn't surprise us, given, his past bigoted statements. In 2004, King told Fox News' Sean Hannity "80-85 percent of mosques in the country are controlled by Islamic fundamentalists." King should provide the evidence for such an incendiary allegation. How did he come to the 81% figure? Why not 78% Why not 79% Why not 86%
In 2007, King said "There are too many mosques in this country…There are too many people sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully and finding out how we can infiltrate them." He later said his quote was taken out of context.
Congressman King, not surprisingly, also opposed the construction of the Park 51 Islamic Center, located several blocks from Ground Zero. He called for investigations into the project's funding stating the center was "offensive to so many people." Apparently, to people, like King, all Muslims should be stereotyped terrorists because of the actions of a few. If we follow his prejudiced reasoning, all White Americans should be stereotyped racist murderers—given the history of Blacks being lynched in this country.
Congressman Ellison is right. If King is so concerned with radicalization, why not examine it across the ideological spectrum? Why don't sanctimonious crusaders, like Congressman King, hold hearings on the radicalization of racists within politics instead of focusing only on Muslims?
Ever since Barack Obama became president there's been a rising tide of latent racism. We've seen bigots, like the Birthers, question this president citizenship. Others, like those showing up at rallies with firearms, implying they'd like to eliminate President Obama. The FBI has reported death threats against the president multiplied by over 400%.
Doesn't Congressman King care about those threats? What about those radicals violently targeting Blacks, Latinos, and Muslims? Why aren't these aspects of radicalization, in America, being investigated by King? Is it because those alleged or suspected culprits are, largely, White American men?
King complains that Muslims aren't helping law enforcement enough. Similar complaints are often made against African-Americans. Does Congressman King, and his friends in law enforcement, expect people to help them when they routinely discriminate against minorities en masse?
The Tucson shootings should've given all Americans pause—especially politicians like Peter King—in avoiding unfairly demonizing any group.
What does King expect to achieve from this, besides, creating more divisiveness in the currently charged climate? Will he require Muslims, in these hearings, to prove they're loyal Americans? When attacks spike against Muslims, as they did after 9-11, will King take responsibility?
The United States needs needs enlightened leadership, not McCarthyism against Muslims.

Transfer news: Yohan Cabaye apologises to Newcastle fans over Arsenal saga
Yohan Cabaye has apologised to Newcastle fans over the transfer saga which nearly saw him leave the club in the summer.
Last Updated: 16/09/13 2:50pm
The Frenchman was left out of the team by boss Alan Pardew for the opening three games of the season because of uncertainty over his future.
Arsenal had a bid for him turned down and Cabaye instead remained with the Magpies, with Pardew slowly reintegrated him back into the squad.
He came off the bench against Fulham in Newcastle's last home game and started in the 2-1 win at Aston Villa on Saturday.
The midfielder was substituted two minutes from time at Villa Park and was given a standing ovation by the travelling fans, a reaction Cabaye admits moved him.
"It was very, very good to be back in the team; a really nice feeling," he told the club's official website.
"The most important thing for me is to be on the pitch and to play. I want to do my best for the club, for the team, for everyone and, of course, I want to win every game we play.
"The ovation was very nice to hear. If the fans were - or still are - mad at me for what happened then I understand and I apologise to them.
"I want to come back from what has happened. For Newcastle fans, football is their life and I want to say that I am going to give everything - as I have from my first day here - from today until the end of the season.
"In your career you do not have a career without bad moments. I have moved on and now in my head I just want to work really hard, to get back in the team every week and to help the team - that is the most important thing for me.
"I want to forget what happened during the summer, I want to put it behind me and give everything for Newcastle every day, for the club and for my team-mates."

Pettit College of Law to dedicate renovated Alumni Moot Court Room
The Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law will dedicate its newly renovated Alumni Moot Court Room on Friday, Sept. 30, at 5 p.m.
The Alumni Moot Court Room contains the latest in courtroom technology and provides students an opportunity to hone their advocacy skills in a real-world environment. The Alumni Moot Court Room is a trial courtroom that seats 31 students and is used for classes and moot court competitions. The room, originally designed as a courtroom, is now used as a classroom 80 percent of the time.
Due to the generosity of the classes of 2008 and 2010, bequests from the White and Walinski families, and a donation from the Ohio State Bar Association Litigation Section, a number of enhancements were made to improve the space.
The renovation added technology in the courtroom, including a custom Amish-built high-tech podium with an automated Crestron control panel, which integrates operation of the computer, sound system, document camera, guest laptop and DVD/VCR. New displays include a 60-inch LCD monitor and two 42-inch monitors. The room also was expanded with new custom-built tables, which are wired for laptops, new seating and a wireless access port. The donors' commitment to improving the room and providing state-of-the-art technology for future students is greatly appreciated.
Future improvements will include cameras that can record students during activities such as trial advocacy and moot court. Miller Watson Architects of Columbus, LIVE! Technologies of Columbus, Country View Barn of Lima, and M&W Construction of Lima all worked on this project.

A few weeks I posted this photograph asking if anyone had could guess what it is. Well now I've got the answer for you.
This photograph was taken at my father's work. I imagine it was taken in about the 1950s as I have many photographs taken at this time. My father worked at Anderson's Meat Packing Company at Wallangarra on the Queensland-NSW border.
The image shows pumped up intestines which were then placed in drying rooms. After drying the ends were cut off and packed flat in cartons. And of course you can guess what they would have been used for - sausage casings.
Here is a link to the wikipedia article about sausages.

Well I never ...ReplyDelete
Can't say that trying to solve your mystery gave me sleepless nights but..... I am pleased to have an answer.
Thanks for posting this bit of fun.
So, my guess of balloons was right!? Probably not exactly what I had in mind though.ReplyDelete
I guess my ancestor would have been better than me at guessing this, given his occupation as a pork butcher :-)ReplyDelete

bizdoc needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 180 designs submitted by 40 freelance designers.
Mathew HeartCare
We are a small heart specialty medical practice around Detroit, Michigan, that's served our patients faithfully for almost 40 years.
We need a logo that tells local people that they can come to us with their heart problems, and we'll help them get to better health. Our physician actually still has a little black bag and stethoscope and blood pressure cuff that he uses to go to people's houses when necessary to see them.
We have an earlier logo given to us by yellowpages.com, but it's not working, and we need to re-brand - quickly.
We give direct, personal attention to our cardiac patients, and get excellent results for them, so that they actually get better!
Here are the designs/websites we have through yellow pages that we don't like:
The average age of the patients that come to see us are ages 35-50, though we do have quite a few older patients as well - the logo has to appeal to this wide audience.
We are targeting groups that use online searches to find docs now - we typically get patients through word of mouth currently and other doctors references.
We want people to know that we are experienced and professional, but very accessible. We want to work with you to improve your health.
We are looking for a logo represent our single doctor practice.
Here are a few things to think about:
1. No Cartoons - we don't want cheap or childlike - we want professional
2. Nothing too fancy - we want locals to feel like they can come to see us and we are highly skilled, but accessible
3. Incorporate a 'heart' somehow into the logo - for obvious reasons, but feel free to be creative - if you can express 'heart health' without it, then try
4. the text should say 'Mathew Heart' - again feel free to experiment with one or two colors - they should show up well on both a web page, as well as business cards
5. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
Again we want to communicate professionalism like this, but more accesible:
Here is an example of a logo that we like:
Here is an example of what we are trying to avoid (logo is on the right and uploaded):
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn't take long until we realized we couldn't stop there. During the past 9 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a "STAMPtember" event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complimenting ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making, scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.
We are giving away a HUGE prize...

'House of the Dead 4′ Game Review
Here's a little history lesson for you kids out there — In the 90′s, light gun games were at the zenith of their popularity. Games like Lethal Enforcers and Virtua Cop lined the arcades. The overpowering allure of wielding a plastic gun against virtual zombies and terrorists wasn't something most guys could resist. The House of the Dead titles were immensely popular, but the fad had died out by the time the fourth installment hit in 2006. After six years, during which House of the Dead 4 never saw a release on a home console, Sega is dusting off from their archives and is releasing it with updated HD graphics for the PS3. For fans of the series, it's been a long time coming.
HOTD4 places you in the shoes of AMS (think bootleg FBI) agents James Taylor and Kate Green that are investigating an evil scientist that's ostensibly bent on bringing about a nuclear apocalypse. You don't need to know anything else, because the story is only relevant for the purpose of laughing at the cheesy lines and listening to the bad voice acting that's straight out of the first Resident Evil on the original PlayStation. The result is hilarity beyond measure.
The game allows you to use the PlayStation Move controller which does an excellent job of replicating the arcade experience. Using a normal controller is an exercise in torture and is not recommended. Multiplayer is one of the strong points of this game – because what's better than experiencing a zombie invasion with your bestest bud? Unfortunately, it is only available offline, so your partner better live close to you. Before the game starts, HOTD4 allows you to adjust the difficulty as well as the number of lives and continues you are given, so how challenging this game gets is entirely up to you. The graphics, however updated they are, look decidedly last-gen by any standards.
Your main line of defense against the hordes of undead is a sub-machine gun that never runs out of bullets, as long as you reload by shaking the controller. Shaking the controller will also free you when a zombie inevitably grabs you. Your characters move automatically from one "scene" to the next and all you have to worry about is shooting at whatever monstrosity that comes into your view. You are also given grenades that help you clear out large numbers of enemies, but they are also instrumental in unlocking life gaining med-kits and secret paths of HOTD4. A letter grade and score derived from a combination of different measures, such as your accuracy, is earned at the end of each stage. This is mostly relevant in the online ranking mode where it will upload your score for comparison with other players.
The game, having originated from the arcade, isn't particularly long and can be finished in a little more than an hour. Replay value exists in the form of two hidden stages from a little known re-release called House of the Dead 4 Special, the online ranking mode and if you are really hardcore, the four different endings. Undeniably, the game feels dated, but that's part of the charm. And if you are a fan of B exploitation movies from the 60s, the cheesiness and plentiful gore should be right up your alley. To sum it up, House of the Dead 4 is enormously entertaining and well worth the $9.99 price of admission.
House of the Dead 4 ($9.99) published by Sega for the PS3. For this review, we played the game for three hours on the PS3.

Piedmont to join Williams Partners L.P. and Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation as equity participant in natural gas pipeline project to serve major northeastern markets by 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 13, 2012 - Piedmont Natural Gas (NYSE: PNY) today announced its equity investment in Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC, a natural gas pipeline project slated to transport natural gas supplies from the prolific Marcellus supply region in northern Pennsylvania to major northeastern markets. The project is scheduled to be in service by March 2015. Piedmont Natural Gas, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Piedmont Constitution Pipeline Company, LLC, joins Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) and Cabot Oil and Gas Corporation (NYSE: COG) as a 24 percent equity participant in the joint venture, and will invest an estimated $180 million in the new project.
Thomas E. Skains, Piedmont's Chairman, President, and CEO commented on the Company's involvement, "Piedmont's equity participation in the Constitution Pipeline project aligns very well with our strategic focus on expanding our investments in complementary energy-related businesses as a means of enhancing shareholder value." Skains continued, "We are excited about making an investment in strategic pipeline infrastructure in the Marcellus supply basin that will transport clean, low cost natural gas supplies to premium East Coast markets and provide substantial benefits for both natural gas producers and consumers. We are equally excited to be joining such strong joint venture partners as Williams Partners and Cabot Oil and Gas, as both are outstanding companies and widely respected in our industry."
An affiliate of Williams Partners will construct, operate, and maintain the new 30-inch, 121-mile long transmission pipeline that is being designed with sufficient capacity to transport 650,000 dekatherms of natural gas per day (a quantity of natural gas that can serve approximately 3 million homes) from established Marcellus production areas in Susquehanna County of northern Pennsylvania. The pipeline will connect with the Iroquois Gas Transmission and Tennessee Gas Pipeline systems in Schoharie County, New York and is already fully contracted with long-term commitments from established natural gas producers currently operating in Pennsylvania; Piedmont will not be a customer of Constitution Pipeline. Williams Partners will maintain a 51 percent ownership share, Cabot Oil and Gas a 25 percent share, and Piedmont Natural Gas, through its wholly owned subsidiary, a 24 percent share in the pipeline venture.
"Williams Partners enjoys a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with Piedmont as a customer on our Transco pipeline system and as a joint venture partner in existing pipeline and storage infrastructure projects in North Carolina. We are delighted to expand that relationship with Piedmont as a new partner in the Constitution Pipeline," said Alan Armstrong, chief executive officer of Williams Partners. "Constitution is a key component of the Susquehanna Supply Hub that Williams Partners is expanding to connect Marcellus Shale producers like Cabot and Southwestern Energy with the highest-value markets.
"The Constitution Pipeline is a great example of the kind of leadership and investment –from energy-infrastructure providers like Williams Partners, utilities like Piedmont and producers like Cabot – that we believe is key to building the foundation our nation needs to realize the full benefits of the new abundance of long-lived, clean-burning natural gas supplies in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale and elsewhere in North America."
The Constitution Pipeline project was first announced in February 2012 by Williams Partners and Cabot Oil and Gas. Construction of the new pipeline is expected to begin in April 2014 with an in-service date of March 2015. Constitution Pipeline is currently in the pre-filing process with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the federal agency charged with the regulation of interstate pipelines. Constitution Pipeline plans to file a formal certificate application with the FERC in the spring of 2013. More information about the Constitution Pipeline project can be found at www.constitutionpipeline.com.

Time for you, readers of Class Notes, to comment with your opinions. What is the purpose of education?
To learn to think?
Is it to learn knowledge --reading, writing, and arithmetic?
To learn to be a productive citizen of the world?
Or something else?
"Education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn on their own. . . " says renowned linguist, philosopher, historian, and scientist, Noam Chomsky.
For years educators based the purpose of education on the definition by John Dewey, restated by Gene Carter , Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of ASCD, " —that the general purpose of school is to transfer knowledge and prepare young people to participate in America's democratic society." But, says Carter, that definition is insular and inadequate in the 21st century. Instead he'd rather that "purpose of schools must be preparing children to compete in the global environment." (Click here for a .pdf of The Purpose of Education from ASCD.)
Our Mom Congress delegates weigh in:
Ilina Das Ewen of North Carolina: "To teach creative and analytical thinking. To spark curiosity, imagination, and love of lifetime learning. I see education as a lifetime journey, not a destination or a transaction."
Kathie Green of Indiana: "The purpose of education is to teach the basics so everyone has a shot at life :) but more than that to create the "spark" - the curiosity, the creativity, the confidence, the zest for further knowledge that helps a person grow beyond what they believe they can be. It's a lot to hope for - but I have watched it happen time and again...education changes the scope of the world.
Yolanda Gordon of South Carolina: "The purpose of education is prepare our children for higher education, teach them to navigate social interactions with peers from different backgrounds, and to help them become tax paying members of society. It is to provide them with the building blocks to figure out what they want to do with their lives and to spark their curiosity to learn more and to build on the skills that they already have. In the case of children with disabilities it is also to teach them functional skills so that they can function on their own once they leave school behind and to potentially obtain and keep a job for those that are high functioning."
Myrdin Thompson of Kentucky: "Creating compassionate caring adults means treating children with compassion and care. Education is but one cornerstone of creating a vital, sustainable community. Each of us have a role to play in helping the very youngest of our citizens grow and thrive and fulfill their potential. By providing a solid foundation (the basics so to speak) we can then help our children reach for their dreams. Working together as partners in this effort is essential. Parents (families) are the constant in the equation, schools/teachers are the variable (as they change over time). Only by creating a shared vision and pathway to success will our children be able to achieve their goals."
Dalinda Alcantar of Texas: "I think it is simple: the purpose of education is grow children into productive citizens that use their knowledge, talents, and learned skills to sustain themselves and help others while pushing the human race forward in areas of equality, equity, and harmony."
Felisa Hilbert of Oklahoma: "The value of education is to ignite the spark that develops creative thinking skills and the value of reasoning for yourself. EdEducation teaches and prepares children and youth to meet the future needs to function in a society not only academically, but emotional, socially, spiritually and economically. Education gives you the power to believe in yourself and the knowledge to feel accepted value and love. Parents are the first educators to developed this confidence and self esteem to believe in education, letting kids know that every child is smart, capable of reaching their dreams and goals. Teachers are the other part this puzzle; they need to believe that every child is teachable and set high expectations for them and for themselves."
Stacey Kazakis Weigler of New Hampshire: "The purpose of education is to develop students' desire and ability to think and learn about the world around them. Further, the purpose is to learn how to develop relationships that will enable students to work with their peers, throughout their schooling and beyond."
Melissa Bilash of Pennsylvania: "To ensure growth and build community that allows meaningful post secondary outcomes regardless of ability."
. . .
Eleanor Roosevelt argues that education depends on us, not the schools. "The school alone cannot teach citizenship, however, any more than it can really educate a child. It can do much in directing thought and formulating standards, in creating habits of responsibility and courage and devotion. In the last analysis our home surroundings are the determining factor in development, and the example of those dear to us and constantly with us is what makes the warp and woof of our lives . . . remember that on the public school largely depends the success or the failure of our great experiment in government "by the people, for the people.""
Well said, Mrs. Roosevelt. Well said.
Which definition resonates with you? Comment now.

Acquired for a first-round draft pick in September, Indianapolis Colts' Trent Richardson devolved from fantasy football whipping boy to NFL punch line after averaging 2.9 yards per carry and losing his starting job to Donald Brown.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported in November that the Colts still felt strongly enough about Richardson's talent that they would make the same trade all over again.
General manager Ryan Grigson confirmed as much Thursday, emphasizing a "patient" approach to Richardson's immersion into the Colts' offense.
"He's not going anywhere. We have him for the long haul," Grigson said, via The Indianapolis Star. "We don't win 12 games this year if Trent Richardson isn't here. That's a fact. With a year under his belt, you're going to see a different player."
Maybe this team doesn't win 12 games without Richardson. Maybe they win 13 instead.
The Colts "love" Richardson's violent running style and relatively cheap salary. In a best-case scenario, Richardson combines that violent style with better vision and a willingness to press the hole that would put him on the Marshawn Lynch career track.
It wasn't until Lynch's 19th game in Seattle that he cleared the 100-yard rushing mark. He topped 50 rushing yards just twice in his first nine games with the Seahawks.
I was on board with Grigson's talent evaluation when he acquired Richardson in September. I no longer see what he's seeing in Richardson's game.
Grigson is the one who gets paid to make that call. If he sounds defensive, it's because he's the one whose job is on the line if his bold moves don't pay off in the long run.

NASAA's Proposed Amendments to its Model Rules on Investment Advisers and Investment Adviser Representatives
NASAA's Investment Adviser Regulatory Policy and Review Project Group ("Project Group") is soliciting comments from the public on a proposed set of investment adviser model rules written to reflect the organization and content of the 2002 Uniform Securities Act ("USA 2002"). The Project Group is also seeking public comment on proposed revisions to the existing investment adviser model rules ("1956 Act Model Rules") with respect to examination qualifications. The proposed rules are in two groups. The first group relates generally to investment advisers ("IA's") and investment adviser representatives ("IAR's"), under the USA 2002. The second group relates specifically to examination requirements for IA's and IAR's, under both the USA 2002 and the Uniform Securities Act of 1956, as amended ("1956 Act").
The comment period begins on Friday, July 18, 2008, and will remain open for 21 days. Accordingly, all comments should be submitted on or before Friday, August 8, 2008. Comments should be directed by email or in writing to:
Kenneth Hojnacki
Wisconsin Dept. of Financial Institutions
Division of Securities
PO Box 1768
Madison, WI 53701-1768
with a copy to:
Stephen Hall
Deputy General Counsel
750 First Street, NE, Suite 1140
Washington, DC 20002-4251
Background and Purpose of the Revised Model Rules
The Project Group has created model IA rules that comport with the USA 2002. This new set of rules ("USA 2002 Model Rules") will serve as a helpful template in those states where the USA 2002 has been, or will be, adopted. At the same time, the existing model rules (the 1956 Act Model Rules), patterned after the 1956 Act, will continue to serve as an important guide in those states where the securities statute is based on the 1956 Act. Having model rules organized around each of the uniform acts will assist the NASAA members in their rulemaking efforts, promote uniformity, and advance the cause of investor protection.
The new USA 2002 Model Rules represent primarily a reorganization of the existing rules. They do contain some substantive changes, however, particularly in the area of qualification examinations. All of the changes, both organizational and substantive, are highlighted in the Notice of Request for Public Comment.
With respect to examinations, the Project Group is also proposing that identical revisions be made to the 1956 Act Model Rules. Examination requirements have undergone significant change over the years, even in states that have adopted a version of the 1956 Act. Accordingly, to reflect that evolution, the 1956 Act Model Rules are also being updated with respect to examinations. The Project Group anticipates that in the future, other revisions will be made to the 1956 Act Model Rules, so that they reflect all of the substantive changes now being proposed in the USA 2002 Model Rules.

St. Charles Bank & Trust-Athlete of the Week: McKenna Kelsay
St. Francis, Senior, Girls Volleyball
Why she was selected: The Spartans' standout setter notched a combined 64 assists last weekend in a 3A state semifinal win against Champaign Centennial and the state championship match Saturday against Richmond-Burton. Kelsay, who is receiving Division I recruiting attention from schools including Illinois and Michigan State – where her older sister, Kristen, plays – is the St. Charles Bank & Trust-Kane County Chronicle Athlete of the Week. Kelsay touched base with sports editor Jay Schwab after the Spartans' state final for a few questions. The following is an edited transcript:
Do you feel like you were at your best at Redbird Arena?
Yes. We've been through tight matches this entire state series. Obviously the [Joliet Catholic] match. We knew nothing was going to be given so we knew we had to come out in both of these matches. Obviously it's exciting to be here but we had a goal in mind and we said we have to come down here and play as best as we can to win. ... We all just said we have to come out our strongest, and I think we did this weekend. It obviously paid off.
What's your toughest class in school this semester?
I'd have to say Spanish. Spanish is not my strong point.
Favorite sports movie?
"Remember the Titans," for sure. It gets me every time. I love that movie.

Even so, I have thought it inevitable that the United States would eventually move to a single-payer, government-run system – the ACA a steppingstone along that path – because, for 60-plus years now, most Americans (myself included) have been divorced from the actual costs of our own medical care and have come to feel entitled to paying little or nothing out-of-pocket for insurance and/or medical care.
Our modern, highly technological and bureaucratic hybrid government/market system has made it also inevitable that "transforming" it – even for the better – would be confusing and threatening to many people and potentially accompanied by false starts and failures.
All that said, however, it saddens me – having recently visited the Shuttle Endeavor in Los Angeles and contemplated the hugely ambitious technological challenges that, yes, the government has been capable of meeting – that it could not develop, properly test and launch a working website in three-plus years, after spending hundreds of millions on it.
Are we the United States of the space program or are we living a scene from the Marx Brothers Movie "Duck Soup," in the bankrupt country of Freedonia where Rufus T. Firefly, upon taking power, memorably sang, "The last man nearly ruined this place. He didn't know what to do with it. If you think this country's bad off now, just wait 'til I get through with it"?
Matt Leone
President Obama said in his news conference that people may keep individual plans that haven't already been canceled or they may buy similar ones, if they're available – even if those plans don't meet the coverage and cost requirements of Obamacare, as the law says. The law must be changed. He can't change it by himself.
This president has time and again ignored the constitutional process, and we let him do so. "There's only one institution that can change the law: Congress," the Heritage Foundation blogged. "President Obama's 'plan' attempts to ignore them entirely. The president's proposal is but the latest in a long line of waivers and unilateral changes made in a futile attempt to repair an inherently unworkable law."
Why are we now letting our government tell us what is best for us? Stand up, America.

Obamacare is unworthy of a free people, and there is only one remedy: A total repeal of the law.
The grossly misnamed "Affordable" Care Act is a fraud perpetrated on the American people by a series of lies. It is a nightmare, only beginning. It is a scandal, with carve outs and special deals for insiders and political allies from its inception to this day. It is a perversion of the rule of law with the president selectively enforcing provisions of the ACA to suit his political needs for the moment. Our press is silent.
Even in the face of all the damage done to our economy, our medical delivery system and to the people of this country by their law, the Democrats cling to their illusions that their 2,000-page monster compounded with thousands of pages of regulations written by bureaucrats at Health and Human Services is salvageable ["ACA sees few sign-ups," Front Page, Nov. 14].
They could not be more wrong. Warren Buffet offered the president some very good advice when he told his friend, Barack Obama, to scrap it and start over. Get on with it.
Laurella A. Cross
The man in the White House has just announced that he will change certain portions of Obamacare. I would like to know which article of the Constitution gives the president the authority to make changes to legislation that Congress has passed and that he has signed.
Robert W. Grebner
The ACA bashing
With regard to continued bashing of the Affordable Care Act and its roll out, several facts seem to be forgotten by its critics on the right. First, the ACA is based on the ideas and plans from the conservative Heritage Foundation and from Mitt Romney's Massachusetts plan which is successful despite initial glitches. Second, when former President George W. Bush's drug program for seniors was rolled out, there were many glitches similar to what is occurring now, but they were corrected with bipartisan support. Finally, the intent of the ACA is to reduce the number of uninsured people from going to emergency rooms whose costs are borne by those of us who pay for insurance.
Republicans have no other plan to replace the ACA, only to kill the ACA and return to the existing failed medical system, which causes thousands of uninsured people to die annually, needlessly. When will the Republicans think more of the American people than their dislike for this president?
Bob Machado
Oppressive union tactics
It should be no surprise the lengths public employee unions and thugs who do their bidding will go to protect their stranglehold on power. They even will stoop to illegally tracking council members who have the audacity to challenge the union's might ["Law firm tracking tactics alleged," Local, Nov. 14].
I applaud council members Steve Mensinger and Jim Righeimer in Costa Mesa, who have subjected themselves to threats, harassment, false accusations and, now, GPS tracking in order to make their city a better place to live both now and in the future. I hope other O.C. public officials take note and have the courage to take a similar stand.

Desalination plant fight
We need more water, and the Surfrider Foundation keeps getting in the way ["Panel will weigh desalination plant," Local, Nov. 13]. I would like to have a peek at member water bills for fairness. These folk are never in the way when it comes to new housing, a cause of urban runoff and increased water demand.
I think they enjoy making money off all aspects of urban growth, then shudder with the prospects of what is needed to maintain life in this desert. And please remember, Surfriders, your car driving to the beach is offensive to my environmental standards.
Kurt Parker
Not mellow about yellow
Orange County has a Taxi Administration Program that is going to prohibit some taxis from using the color yellow ["Yellow is off limits for new taxi companies," Business, Nov. 12]. The steering committee is made up of city officials and company reps. Surely, there are more important things to be done in Orange County, than worry about taxi cab colors.
This sounds like our administration in Washington. Maybe some companies are trying to get rid of the competition.
Tom Parker
Tobacco cash cow
"It's for your own good" [Nov. 13] was a good editorial about the government proposal to ban trans fats. Recent ads claim that tobacco is responsible for 20 percent of all deaths. Is it possible there is no thought of banning cigarettes because they are such a cash cow for our leaders?

New Brunswick Masters Degrees in Healthcare Campus Programs | Graduate Schools
Whether you are hoping to study at a graduate school nearby or abroad, the choice for Masters Degrees in Healthcare is vast as this industry expands at a fast-growing rate. For those interested in pursuing advanced studies, choices range from the administrative side of the healthcare industry to patient-centered and medical degrees. Studying on campus gives you the opportunity to experience a social learning environment and build the interpersonal skills that are so vital to many health care and medical professions. With a few helpful suggestions, your search for graduate schools with the healthcare masters degree that aligns with your goals is easy.
What is Healthcare?
Healthcare is multi-faceted, with many options for potential career paths depending on your skills and passions. Whether you are interested in a medical or non-medical focus, there are a variety of masters degrees in healthcare to choose from.
HEALTH CARE: involves the maintenance or improvement of one's own health as well as public health. Its processes involve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, illness and injury by health providers and health professionals. The delivery of healthcare is via:
- Primary care – health professionals acting as the first point of consultation (e.g. family nurse practitioner, physiotherapist or family physician)
- Secondary care – health care services provided by medical specialists (e.g. dentists)
- Tertiary care – specialized consultative healthcare (e.g. cardiac surgery).
Students seeking a master's degree in health care might find options such as a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), Master in Occupational Therapy, Masters in Human Nutrition and a host of other fascinating program options on our subject directory.
HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY: As an industry, health care also has an administrative side that deals with
health services. Students learn medical terminology, health care systems, public health policy, business, statistics, law, ethics, and information technology and a broad spectrum of other subjects.
Students seeking a master's degree in healthcare administration might browse listings such as Master of Public Health, or Master of Public Administration, Public Policy, Health Administration amongst others.
FUN FACT: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, many dietitians and nutritionists have advanced degrees.
Masters Degrees in Healthcare: Potential Benefits of Campus Programs
For sure, navigating the choice of graduate schools is a process you don't want to rush. In addition, you need to take time to navigate all the masters degrees in healthcare that pertain to your intended career goals. We had you start thinking of your subject first because it is often the case that a graduate school is well known for a particular domain. Fine-tuning the kind of program you are looking for might help you steer towards a learning institution that meets your academic needs. For instance, maybe there is an aspect of biotechnology you want to study and you find one particular learning institution is exploring through innovative research. Apart from academics, there are other things that studying at graduate school has to offer:
ONSITE FACILITIES: Some of the more clinical and science based healthcare masters programs (e.g. pharmacology, health sciences, premed) may have strong laboratory requirements; studying on campus generally confers access to grad students. It is fair to assume that you also get to use the libraries, career counseling, onsite tutoring and other services.
HANDS-ON LEARNING: Some people learn with all their senses – what they see and hear, as well as what they experience. Learning in a classroom gives you that since you have to focus and stay present to take notes, ask questions or participate in discussions.
INTERACTION: One of the things that campus-based learning has is the social atmosphere. Yes, you are there principally to study, but college might be a great place to form networks. Plus, many healthcare masters degrees are in fields (e.g. nursing, medicine, physical therapy) that are human or patient centered where you need interpersonal and communication skills. Apart from that, graduate level classes may be smaller than what you experienced in undergraduate school, so the chance to have face-to-face contact in real-time with your professors or supervisors may be to your advantage.
Finding a Graduate School for Health and Medicine Masters Programs
On GradSchools.com we simplify the process of finding a graduate school. How we do that? Once you have chosen your subject, and the campus program format, you can refine your search by location. Filter by city, state or country. Then, open a few different programs up in your browser. Request information from the school; check out their curriculum, their tuition costs, faculty and other factors that interest you to ultimately narrow your selection.
Accreditation for Programs and Institutions
Look into accreditation, both in terms of the program and the institution. Accreditation ensures that standards are met.
Institutional accreditation means the quality of the university or college and its programs, services, administration, facilities and faculty meet certain standards.
Programmatic accreditation means that the quality of the specific program meets the standards of what a person in that profession needs to know. For instance, the Council on Chiropractic Education accredits Doctor of Chiropractic programs while the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Program (CAAHEP) accredits orthotics and prosthetics programs.
Many of the professions in the Medical and Healthcare fields are regulated, and you may have licensing requirements that in turn require proof of graduation from an accredited program.
DID YOU KNOW? Accreditation in the health-related disciplines also serves a very important public interest. Along with certification and licensure, accreditation is a tool intended to help assure a well-prepared and qualified workforce providing health care services.
Take the Next Step
It is true that many of the medical specialties (e.g. Pharmacist, Physician, Surgeon, Dentist) require Doctorate degrees. It is also true that entry-level jobs are available for graduates with Bachelors degrees in many areas of healthcare (e.g. Occupational Health and Safety Specialists, Registered nurses).
If you have aspirations of making your way up the career ladder in a current role, or looking ahead to a doctoral degree, choosing from the many Masters degrees in healthcare might be the next step towards achieving your goals and vision.

Stanage Edge
The immense 7km long Stanage Edge is certainly the most famous gritstone crag in England. The outcrop is highly popular, partly because of its proximity to both Sheffield and Manchester, but above all due of its wealth of quality routes. The first climbs date all the way back to 1890 and over 1300 routes have now been established along the edge, ranging from Moderate to desperate E8 - enough to last a lifetime!
The vast majority of routes are relatively easy and ideal therefore for beginners as they tend to follow well-protected crack lines. Having said that, the smooth faces and rounded arête are a brilliant natural playground for those in search of quality testpieces.
Climbers visiting the area for the first time shouldn't miss out on the Flying Buttress at the Popular End and the routes on High Neb. Joe Brown's 1949 Right Unconquerable HVS 5a is the classic route of the crag, but Quietus E2 5c and Old Friends E4 5c are equally famous. The stunning barn door arête Archangel E3 5b at Goliath's Groove is psychologically demanding while its neighbour Ulysses E6 6b is a rite of passage to the upper extremes.
The highly popular Plantation area hosts some of the finest and most famous boulder problems in the country, such as the dream crescendio Crescent Arete Fb 5+, Not to be Taken Away Fb6c, The Green Traverse Fb7a, Brad Pitt Fb7c+ and Jerry Moffat's The Joker Fb 8a.
The outcrop varies in height up to 25m and due to its hilltop location can, at times, be extremely windy and cold. Luckily Hathersage with its warm cafes and welcoming pubs is nearby.
From Sheffield or Manchester drive to Hathersage along the A6187. From the centre of Hathersage bear right down Dale Bottom and continue until the southern end of the crag springs into view.Popular End (South end)Park at Hooks Carr (SK 245830). Walk in from the parking in about 5 mins. There is also a bus from Sheffield, check out the link below.Plantation Area (central section of the crag)Turn off left and coast the crag until you reach the Plantation (Hollin Bank) parking on the right. High Neb (North end)The Stanage Bus from Sheffield or continue past the Plantation to the limited car parking at SK 227843 (Dennis Knoll). Calculate 30 minutes for the walk-in.
Gritstone climbing at its best: technical, balancy, powerful and pumpy all at the same time. The crag is ideal for families.
Accommodation in Hathersage. Campsite at North Lees, just 15 minutes walk from the cliff. (01433 650383).
The Peak District
Squashed between the northern industrial cities Manchester and Sheffield, the Peak District has always been a haven of peace for those fleeing these massive industrial metropolis in search of solitude and untouched nature. Dotted within this rolling countryside are rugged gritstone outcrops, each unique, each with routes of almost all grades and danger levels. "God's own rock", as it is often described, can be so addictive that it is not uncommon to see climbers continuing even when it rains; saner wet weather alternatives include a visit to one of the numerous indoor climbing walls or an enormous mug of tea in a cafe.
Stanage Access Issues
Stanage is one of the most frequented crags in the world. On busy weekends parking can be a problem and the Peak District National Park Authority have introduced a series of traffic management measures to address this. Furthermore, there are problems with car crime in the Stanage area. Do not leave any valubles on display. For full information check out www.thebmc.co.uk and download the Stanage bus timetable.

When Merlin Lanphier graduated from Newton Senior High School in 1943, he was already considered something of a local legend, two years later, he would be immortalized as a national hero.
Merlin left for the Army Air Corps (Air Force), one month after graduating from NHS and was well known for his athletic prowess. His athleticism most likely helped him ascend the ranks quickly, because by the time he was 20, Merlin was a second Lieutenant.
As a member of the Army Air Corps, Merlin was involved in the China-Burma-India Theater of World War II and served as a pilot on a North American B-25 Mitchell, which is a medium sized bomber and considered a highly equipped armory on wings.
B-25s were the primary plane of choice for the "Rough Raiders" of the 500th Bomb Squadron, a division of 345th Bombardment Wing. Merlin belonged to this group of aerial warriors and according to a website dedicated to all things 500th, the squadron dispersed 12,586,000 rounds of ammunition, dropped 6,430 tons of bombs put in a little less than 60,000 hours of flight.
This squad was as an essential unit in the war efforts in Southeast Asia in WWII and sacrificed 588 personnel to ensure America's success in the war. Merlin was one of the men who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, and a report from the Air Corps details the moment.
"On August 6, 1945, five men were killed in action due to (their) airplane being by hit by (anti-aircraft fire) from an enemy gunboat, causing the plane to cartwheel in the air and explode as it hit the water alongside the gunboat, near Fusan Harbor, Korea. No possible survivors."
Merlin's unit was there was a part of an overall mission to find and engage a reported convoy of 25 enemy vessels. Another report from the Air Corps detailed this operation.
"The first flight of six B-25J's sighted an estimated 20 vessels in the Fusan area of southeast Korea. Because of the position of this squadron in the group, it was in the best position to make an attack on the gunboat. Taking four passes at this vessel, the squadron scored at least two direct hits and the ship was seen to roll over and disappear."
"The second flight of 5-25J's did not attack the convoy, but made its search east of Fusan, where the vessels had found refuge in the harbors. (Two armed Japanese merchant ships) were sighted and sunk. Eight bombs were also dropped on the southern tip of Orono Snina starting many small fires."
Officials declared the bombing raids, for the most part, a success and said all targets were "strafed with accuracy" as was a 35 foot long enemy ship that was anchored close to the east coast of Crono Shinia. However, one portion of the mission didn't go as well.
"One plane and crew were lost over the target," read the last portion of the report.
Merlin's quick ascension and honorable death resulted in him being posthumously being awarded the Purple Heart, Air, World War II Victory and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medals as well as an Honorable Service in WWII pin.
At the time of his death, he left behind both of his parents, three brothers and one sister and was labeled a "well-known Newton Athletic Star" in a 1945 edition of the Daily News.
Merlin is buried at Mount Zion Cemetery in Newton and his gravestone reads his name and "500th Bomb SQD," proving that he was truly a Rough Raider until the end.

Edges needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 184 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
I am the new president of Ajax Scientific Ltd. My partners and I recently took over this company and are looking to grow the business substantially.
I would describe myself as conservative but am open to new ideas and ways of doing things.
Most of our business is focused on providing products to help students learn science at an elementary, high school and college level. Think microscopes, magnets, bunsen burners, light bulbs ...
Please visit our website at http://www.ajaxscientific.com for a look at our products. It's obviously in need of work aesthetically too but we want to take things one step at a time.
Our logo also needs to be open enough to fit with our smaller line of business where we supply products and chemicals for laboratories. However, our main focus is on the education side.
The culture of our company is based on being a "can - do" organization that prides itself on meeting unusual and tough requests from our clients.
As wholesalers, our target market are retailers that provide products to teachers. This is the most significant part of our business and the most important.
This market is comprised of big players and mom and pop stores. We need to engage with them in different ways (i.e. website, catalogs, brochures, email...)
We also service small laboratories that need laboratory equipment and chemicals.
We need a clean, professional but simple logo.
Should be scalable - across various media - email, business cards, print catalogs, website, brochures...
Key themes would likely included science and education.
Feel free to be creative.
Our new logo should be distinctive but not busy.
We will require output files for print and web media.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Something similar to this:[...]Maybe a spring instead of an airbag (for safety), but this would definitely be funny to see.
go get a fog machine and hook it up to the Arduino and put it to a sensor for example microphone to detect noise or PIR motion sensor. once you get a reading wait 5 min and activate smoke machine. place behind computer. They think computer is blowing up.
I recommend this:http://www.amazon.com/ThinkGeek-Annoy-a-tron-2-0/dp/B002YE3YDU
so maybe I can make the sound motion activated so that when he walks into his office it talks to him
I had a freind that got gloriously drunk at a work christmas party. Someone had decided to hand out disposable cameras at the same party.Cut a long story short i wrote a windows service that set a different picture of him getting plastered as his wallpaper everyday, I hid the pictures inside the executable and gave it a credible name. If that machine is still running, I sure the slide show is still going to this day.Duane B

Games nowadays tend to be too complex (for me anyway). I loved the simplicity of the games of yesteryear. The graphics were simple, the buttons were kept to a minimum and the storyline was always one that I could follow without getting a headache. Those were the days of 8-Bit games. And those days are long gone.
Luckily, this new tee from J!NX helps us to remember the relaxing days of 8-Bit games. The shirt is called Enjoy 8-Bit and is the perfect shirt to unwind in after a long, hard day at work.
"The Man's been breathing down your neck, probably asked you to come in on Saturday. Why don't you come on home, sit your bum on the couch, and fire up a nice, relaxing game of 8-bit. There's nothing like a satisfying game of 8-bit to set the world right again."
Pick up Enjoy 8-bit from J!NX for $21.99 and get $10 off your order of $35 with the coupon code: DADSROCK. *Can't combine with other discounts or promos. (Expires 6/18/2010)
