While the large airships are most often associated with Germany, the US Army had a large interest in the craft in the 1920's and 1930's. This picture shows two of the airships circling the Washington Monument. It is generally recognized that most of the real innovation in this type of aircraft was done in Germany.
Each day we bring you one stunning little glimpse of history in the form of a historical photograph. Enjoy!

Parking Zeppelin
Today's picture features the tedious task of parking the Zeppelin. I am thinking you would have to have almost completely still conditions to put the Zeppelin in the Hangar.I wonder how they managed rough weather?
Interesting conversation yesterday in the comments on whether people would enjoy Zeppelin Travel today. Sort of a new version of cruising. I know people would enjoy it, but I wonder if it could be made economically viable. Given the Zeppelins had really limited passenger space (room for maybe 100 passengers), I would bet it would be quiet expensive.

Airship in Hangar
This is a picture of the Zeppelin parked in a hanger. The hanger appears to be on a floating barge. I was not able to determine where this picture was taken. As I have studied more about airships this week, I have been impressed with how much passenger space they had. The gondola is much bigger than it looks, and decks actually extend up into the lower portion of the airship. Hope to show more on the interior later this week.

Graf Zeppelin over New York
Today's photograph features a scene with the Graf Zeppelin over New York City. It appears to be a little foggy, so you have to look carefully to see the Zeppelin. This video shows what a grand event it was to have the Zeppelin arrive in New York.

Zeppelin over the Tower of David
Today we feature a photograph of the German Graff Zeppelin over the Tower of David in Old Jerusalem. The picture was taken in 1931. This week we will be looking at pictures of these grand old airships.

Crockett Ward and the Blogtrotters
We wrap up Folk Music week with this picture of Crockett Ward and the Blogtrotters. If I am not mistaken the man standing is Fields Ward, whom we featured on Wednesday. We present them singing "Sugar Hill" below. I could not really figure out what that song was about. Maybe one of you can decipher it.

Fields Ward
Today we feature another folk singer from the 1930's . . . Fields Ward. I had not heard of him before, but did find his music interesting. Below you can listen to Fields Ward and the Grayson County Railsplitters singing Way Down in North Carolina.

Stavin' Chain
Today we feature another folk Singer . . . Stavin' Chain. The recording of him is another of Lomax's prison recordings. This one was done at the Ramsey State Farm near Otey, Texas in 1939.
Monday, November 21, 2011
Alan Lomax
Folk Singer week continues with this picture of Alan Lomax. We feature him not so much for what he sang, but what he did. From the 1930's through the 1940's Alan went across the country and recorded "real" folk music from real people. One of the more interesting aspects of his project was his recordings of prison Chain Gangs and other prison work crews. The prisoners would sing to make the work easier, and the tools they used became percussion for their music. As an example of one of his Chain Gang recordings, we present Po' Lasrus below.
Interestingly, this authentic Chain Gang recording was used in the opening scene of the hit movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Even more interesting, they were actually able to track down the main guy singing on the recording, and he got a completely unexpected, and very generous check for the use of his voice.

Pete Seeger
Today we feature a picture of Folk Singer Pete Seger. Pete is pictured on his way into Federal Court.
As someone mentioned in the comments yesterday, it turns out that many of these early Folk Singers were communist, or at least communist leaning in their politics. But despite the politics, these guys came out with some great music. For your enjoyment we present some classic Pete Seeger below.

Woody Guthrie
We kick off Folk Singer week with this picture of American Legend Woody Guthrie. This week we will be looking at some of the old time musicians. I want to look at the era before music became so commercialized and "plastic".
So, for all you Woody Guthrie fans we share this recording. Enjoy!

Prospecting in Pinos Altos
We wrap up Old Prospector week with this photo from 1940. The picture shows a prospector working his Rocker Box near Pinos Altos New Mexico. I hope you have enjoyed the pictures this week as much as I have . . . now to decide on a theme for next week!
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Today's picture was taken in 1903. It shows an old prospector in Wyoming, working in the area of Yellowstone. I love the hat . . .the turned up front bill really gives the guy a sense of credibility. I will admit though, I never really understood the "fold the front of the hat upwards" hat style.

PIke's Peak Prospector
This is my favorite photo so far this week. It was taken around 1900, and it shows an old prospector and his cabin. He is working in the Pike's Peak area of Colorado. I like love the old stove, but wonder why it is not INSIDE the cabin. You also have to wonder what is in the little black jug.

Panning for Gold
Today we feature another old photograph of prospectors. This picture was taken in 1940 near Pinos Altos in New Mexico. I wonder if this was a hobby, or how they made their living.

Prospecting in the Sierra Nevadas
Today's picture shows a prospector in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The picture was taken in 1866. The man is using a Rocker Box to help in the prospecting. Perhaps some of our Gold Bugs on the site can better explain what a Rocker Box does. I do not completely understand what a white picket fence is doing in the background.

Prospecting for Gold
Today's picture was taken ni 1889 and it shows some Old Timers mining for gold. The picture was taken near Rockerville in the Dakota Territory. The men are Placer Mining using a Sluice. Placer mining is a technique where you are looking for gold in loose dirt or other sediment.
Prospecting is still a major hobby in the US although you do not hear it talked about much. When I was in New Mexico I had a number of friends who were avid prospectors in their spare time. I will have to tell you that it is a little bit of a sickness. Yes, they would find nuggets, but the value of the nuggets would never come close to the cost of the equipment, gasoline, supplies and so forth used in their expeditions. They would love to come to work though, and show their exciting finds from the weekends. They always had that dream, though, of finding the big one, and the dream kept them going.

Old Prospector
It is a been a while since we have visited the men of the rugged outdoors, so I think it is time we have an Old Prospectors week. We start with this photograph from Idaho. The picture was taken in 1889. The prospector is Archie Smith, and he is prospecting near Eagle Creek. If you click on the picture you can see details of his camp much better.

Today's picture was taken in about 1935, and it shows a very early form of commercial air travel. The plane is actually a twin engine biplane with closed passenger compartment. I had never seen one like this before. The picture was taken at an airport in Israel.
Thursday, November 10, 2011
Today's picture was taken in 1938 at the airport in Washington DC. The picture shows a group of passengers in front of an airplane. As people have noted earlier this week . . . look how nicely all the people are dressed. I don't understand how we have gotten to the point that so many people want to look "thuggy". When did it become desirable to look like a thug? I believe we sort of act like we dress . . . when we dress nice, we act nice. When we dress like thugs, we . . .
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
Today we feature another photograph from the grand old days of Air Travel. These were back in the days when Flight Attendants were still polite. Yes, Flight Attendants have gotten progressively grumpier over the last 20 years, but in fairness, I think it is probably because the travelling public has gotten a lot more impolite, and finally we have gotten to the point where everyone on the airplane is in a foul mood. Mrs. PJM works at the Rental Car counter at the airport. She has some pretty amazing stories about the terrible manners of the traveling public today. The first response everyone has to anything they do not like is to launch into a cussing fit. Ah for the old days when we lived in a polite society.

Flying Veterans
Today's picture was taken in 1938, which would have been the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The picture was taken in Pennsylvania. They are flying some Battle of Gettysburg veterans over the battlefield for the 75th anniversary of the battle. The battle was in 1863, so you could imagine someone born in 1846 would have been 17 at the time of the battle, and would have been 92 at the 75th anniversary. I also understand that some soldiers could have been quiet a bit younger at the battle. But in any case, by the time the 75th anniversary rolled around, I would image the surviving soldiers would have been no more than a handfull.
Below is rare video from the reunion:

President Roosevelt Flying
Good Monday Morning to you all! This week we are looking, and reminiscing about air travel. Today's picture was taken in 1943, and the President was being flown to North Africa. The headline that went with this picture was . . . "The First President Ever to Fly Seems to Enjoy it Hugely". Now, was FDR really the first President ever to fly . . . if not, who was?

Eastern Airlines
I guess back in the day Air Travel was a grand event. This picture is from 1938, and famous chefs are shown loading cakes onto the airplane for the passengers. Not something I ever experienced in my decades of air travel. I started traveling in the mid-1980's, and by that time it had already become "cattle cars". The food was terrible, and no customer service. I can even remember when I first started traveling there were still "smoking" sections on the airplanes. Now that was fun . . . the smoke never left the smoking section and bothered the other passengers . . . NOT.

Air Travel
Welcome to Air Travel week here at OPOD. I must admit that I have spent much of my life on an airplane, and I am sad to report most of my memories of air travel are not pleasant ones. I will be sharing my memories this week, and hope you will too. Today's picture is an airplane from British Imperial Airways, and probably taken in the early 1930's.
Most of you by now are aware that the Evil Nate Maas has re-declared war on me, and is raising all types of disturbances on the internet with his vile slander against me. It has become clear that he has broken all the planks of the August 20, 2010 peace treaty.
While we have grown to expect vile outbreaks like this from Nate, this time he has slumped to new lows, even bringing the Lovely Ms. EAM into the feud. As I explained earlier, the malaria pills Ms. EAM takes leave her vulnerable to confusion and influence. Nate has used this weakened condition, and unending harrasment to try and influence her to join him in his corrupt nonsense.
As any good father would, yes, I read the lovely Ms. EAM's email. Why, you ask? Well, first I go in and delete the spam for her, so when she opens her email she is greeted only with relevant and important email. Then secondly, since she is out of the country, I check to see if anything like bills or matters like that need to be tended to, which I naturally take care of. Then of course if a young man appears to be showing any interest in her, I forward them my soyouwantodatemydaughter exam. It should be noted that no young man has yet to make it past the preamble section of the document, but I am sure at some point a worthy suitor will reveal himself. But I digress. Yesterday as I was performing this loving and fatherly duty, what do you think I find in her eamil? Well, I present the screenshot below. Read it and weap:
Yes, the Evil Nate Mass is secretly communicating with the lovely Ms. EAM trying to turn Daughter against Father, and trying to get her to participate in his evil schemes.
Another truth comes out from the email. Note that Nate ADMITS that he photoshops the pictures of me. For example the picture of me at the Occupy Pugh Park rally . . . he photoshopped it to make me look much heavier and much older than I am. Oh, and the picture of me with the Korean Dictator . . . I am much taller than that.
Finally the truth is out. When will this internet menace be removed from the world wide web?

Men Cannoeing
While looking for Summer Camp pictures, I came across this picture, and while I m not sure it is a summertime picture, I can not help but use it. Wow, is this the perfect scene or what. I love the old wooden canoe, I like the mens clothing and hats, and can see they are about to go fishing. They are smoking pipes, and the one even looks like he has a comfortable chair. Looks like all the makings of the perfect day.

More Summer Fun
We have more summer fun from the 1920's today with this picture from Arlington Beach. We see three girls riding a donkey. I can honestly say that I have never ridden a donkey, and certainly never ridden one with two other people.
I have an update on yesterday's unpleasantness. It had appeared that Ms. EAM had simply Gone Rouge on us and had started posting inflammatory material over at her blog. But now it has become clear that the Evil Nate Maas is behind it all. Those of you who follow his blog see that he is orchestrating this great rebellion.
In digging into things a little deeper, I have found that the Malaria pills that Ms. EAM is taking have the following side effects:
"The FDA product guide states Mefloquine can cause health problems including: anxiety, hallucinations, depression, unusual behavior, and rebellion among others."
So, apparently the Evil Nate Maas has used the opportunity of Ms. EAM's weakened cognitive state to turn her against all that is good and just and to align with his dark schemes.

Camp Tak It Ezy
Today's picture is another Summer Camp picture from the 1920's. The sign on the tree reads Tak it Ezy, so this looks like my kind of summer camp. I am enjoying reading your camping memories in the comments. One of the big memories I have of summer camp that has not been discussed much are the practical jokes. I remember summer camp being filled with kids playing pranks on each other. When I was at summer camp, this one kid fell asleep before everyone else. He was really out. His name was Billy Charles Gunstead. So he is over there snoring away, and the rest of us are awake. So, we walk over, and very gently, with three people on each side of his cot, pick the cot up. He does not wake up. So we start walking with it. When he starts moving, like he is disturbed, we would put the cot back down. Anyway, we walk him about three miles into the woods like that. Then we put the cot down and come back to camp. It was about 3:00 in the afternoon the next day that he finally found his way back to camp. I have often wondered what he thought when he woke up in the middle of nowhere.
The young lady formerly known as the Lovely Ms. EAM has decided to declare Intercontinental Internet War on me. I would invite you to read back over all my posts to see that I have treated her with nothing but the utmost of respect. She really started prodding me on Monday on her blog. I ignored it figuring it was just some form of latent post traumatic rebellion going on, and then she unloaded with both guns yesterday, and I feel at this point that her insolence and malfeasance can not go unpunished. After all I have done for her . . . changing her diapers, home schooling her for 12 years, paying for her college, and keeping a roof over her head, and then she bites the hand that has fed her.
So, she wants to play hardball huh. Well, two can play that game and she picked the wrong internet opponent to cross I say. I keep reading her writing . . . "You can not touch me, I am in Africa . . . You can not touch me, I am in Africa".
I throw down the gauntlet and declare war back on her. She will now be known as the Detestable Ms. EAM.
Oops . . . look whose pickup got left parked out back by Chickie Town:
Oh my, is that Handsome Jack, Joaquin, Sonny and Junior all up on the shiny new pickup? I wonder who put the pickup out there and left it? And what is that up top under Handsome Jack . . .perhaps we should take a closer look
Now that is going to leave a mark. Blahahahaha! Its On Like Donkey Kong!
Internet watchers are holding their breaths to see which side the Evil Nate Maas takes in this Intercontinental Internet War. To date he has remained quiet but all expect him to weigh in shortly.

Writing Letter Home
Today's picture is from 1942, and it shows a picture of a girl at summer camp writing a letter to home. I don't know about you, but I think this picture must have been staged. When I went to summer camp, I did not know anyone who wrote letters, even though we were supposed to. When you were away from home, did you write letters?

When Vivek Kundra was selected as the first federal CIO by President Barack Obama in March 2009, the appointment came with some tricky marching orders. In addition to managing the government's IT operations, Kundra had to find a way to incorporate the latest tech advancements into federal agency IT implementations — and do so in the most cost-efficient manner.
His efforts were largely successful. Kundra, who stepped down in August for a fellowship at Harvard University, is credited by the Obama administration with saving taxpayers more than $3 billion by scrutinizing IT spending and identifying underperforming projects.
But outside the Beltway, Kundra's legacy is less about money and more about his pointed efforts to communicate with state and local government officials while giving their IT issues a voice at the federal level.
Sean Vinck, CIO of Illinois, called Kundra the "Suze Orman of government information technology" for his ability to empower people to manage their IT affairs. Vinck added that Kundra's experience as CTO of Washington, D.C., was invaluable, as the perspective allowed him to understand what federal practices would harm state and local IT efforts.
"He knew that if the federal government was not disciplined on how it articulated and communicated new regulations and programs to state governments, they could produce confusion, inefficiency and increased costs," Vinck said.
And prior to Kundra's arrival, Nebraska CIO Brenda Decker said that she and many of her colleagues felt that states were often an afterthought in federal policymaking — even when those decisions directly impacted states. But Kundra made great strides to overcome that.
"A lot of times I think we are brought in at the end of the game, where a lot of the decisions have been made, and a project is developed by the federal government and then handed to us, and we're supposed deploy it now and find the right solution to meet a federal mandate," Decker said. "Vivek has been very instrumental in saying, 'Let's see what the states think of this,' [and asking] ... 'Is this something your state can manage?' ... rather than saying, 'Here it is, just go do it.'"
Stanley "Bill" Rogers, CIO of New Hampshire, said that while he's only been on the job in the Granite State for four or five months, as someone who has worked in large global corporations, he thought that Kundra's work was top-notch.
"He brought on board some innovative ideas, and it was like trying to turn a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean," Rogers said. "What Vivek did is what a successful CIO needs to do — bring people together, align goals and be a resource."
A Game Changer
During Kundra's more than two years as federal CIO, myriad federal IT advancements were made. His 25 Point Plan to Reform Federal IT Management laid down a strategy to harness new technology in a fiscally sensible but flexible manner.
To increase government transparency, Data.gov, a dashboard to track the status of federal IT projects, was created, as was a "cloud first" policy, which requires federal agencies to look at cloud technology before buying new computer systems.
In addition, Kundra instituted TechStat Accountability Sessions, during which he met with agency leaders to discuss IT projects that were behind schedule or inefficient, and sought to improve them. The Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, a plan to significantly reduce the U.S. government's 2,000-plus data centers, is also ongoing, with 195 scheduled to shut down by the end of the year.
In a June blog entry on Cio.gov, Richard Spires, CIO of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and vice chairman of the Federal CIO Council, called Kundra a "strong force for open government" and credited him with changing the dialog and viewpoint of federal government agencies.
Kundra's efforts are highly regarded in the private sector as well. Jay Kalath, vice president and CTO of ARRAY Information Technology, an IT management and consulting firm, said Kundra put in a framework at the federal level that hits many of the areas the technology industry has been discussing for quite awhile.
Kalath was particularly enamored with Kundra's 25 Point Plan, and added that the cloud-first and shared solutions approach has made federal IT implementations much more modular. "One thing he's really done is push the adoption of change a lot more," Kalath said. "His role was a new one as the federal CIO; the expectations weren't really defined, so he could walk in and be that change agent. He put that vision and framework in place."
Calvin Rhodes, CIO of Georgia, believed the push for open data will be the most vivid memory of Kundra's time as federal CIO. "It'll be years before you'll see the many benefits of people using all that data," he said. "That'll be his lasting legacy — to have the vision to make that data available to citizens, the private sector and government entities."
Decker added that Kundra's push toward open government and cloud technology, and how it trickled down to the state level, made her feel more comfortable with pursuing outside-of-the-box ideas.
"You always had this feeling previously that nobody was really using this stuff and, 'Am I out here on the bleeding edge of something?'" Decker said. "And I think that is something [Kundra] really did that's going to be a legacy of his for a long time. We'll have the opportunity to explore those things without people second-guessing whether we're 'losing it' or not."
What's Next
Steven L. VanRoekel was appointed by Obama as Kundra's successor on Aug. 4 and jumped in the fire immediately, starting the next day.
Former managing director of the FCC, VanRoekel's last post was as executive director of citizen and organization engagement at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which provides economic and humanitarian aid to people worldwide. He also spent 15 years as a Microsoft executive.
But VanRoekel's lack of CIO experience may be an issue in regard to success, said Andrea DiMaio, lead government IT analyst at Gartner, an IT and research advisory company. DiMaio quickly pointed out, however, that Kundra also had limited work as CTO of Washington, D.C., and no federal background before taking the federal CIO job.
"[Kundra] was able to both drive innovation and gain credibility among CIOs, some of whom were certainly skeptical about his appointment," he said. "Keeping an outsider view, being able to challenge the common wisdom and using the same prove-me-wrong approach that Vivek used through most of his tenure is something that Steve should pursue."
Prior to VanRoekel being named federal CIO, state CIOs had plenty to say about what challenges and expectations await the nation's new IT leader.
Rogers said the federal budget crunch will make it difficult for federal agencies to invest in new technologies while maintaining their current operations. He emphasized that the next federal CIO

Sutton Burnard, the senior Big Bear linebacker who has been hospitalized since being injured in the Bears' game Friday night, had a good day on Sunday – less than 48 hours after having emergency brain surgery at Riverside Community Medical Center in Moreno Valley.
"Things are looking a lot better right now," said Big Bear coach Dave Griffiths, who drove down to the medical center to stay with Burnard today. "He's made some strides and is progressing at a better rate than was expected."
Burnard, who slipped into unconsciousness before surgery Friday night/Saturday morning, is still being held in intensive care at the facility, but was able to talk and interact with visitors without a breathing tube. He also was able to sit at a bit of an incline, enough to where he was able to watch television.
"We talked about a bunch of stuff," Griffiths said. "He was awake and aware the entire time. We were watching the Chargers game for a while because Sutton is a big fan. He was definitely happy to see them win."
No specific timetable is in place for Burnard's departure from the hospital, and Griffiths plans on heading back down on Monday to check in on his progress. Either way though, it seems as if Burnard is on the right path after an extremely scary situation for himself, his family and the entire Big Bear community. We'll keep updating the situation as news develops.

Mixed bag: Group show has one standout
The new space for Les Yeux du Monde, now at dot 2 dot, an easy trek from the Downtown Mall, not only admits a large quantity of sunlight, but also includes a fair bit of extra wall space– space which the gallery has taken advantage of with the December exhibit, "Wintergarden." The exhibit includes the work of an informal group of artists who may not necessarily share aesthetic interests, but who do meet semi-regularly to discuss each other's work.
They have each been given plenty of wall space to fill, and they all fill it. For reasons of cohesion, space, and laziness, this column will ignore the sculpture, furniture, jewelry, and adjacent exhibits, and stick to the flat canvas-y objects.
Group shows are often difficult to write about because they usually don't have any sort of unifying theme or aesthetic, but writers need to pretend that they do– usually grasping at some weak or not especially relevant term to avoid the totally un-fun "some good, some bad" generalization.
Like most, this show really doesn't have a theme, but there is somewhat of a unifying element: Each artist tends to saturate the work with one eye-catching color. It gives an immediate unity and identity to groups of canvases and also helps to draw (a cynic might suggest) the neophyte art shoppers to a work that might, because of abstract elements, otherwise turn them off.
For Susan Crowder, it's lime green; Karen Shea's watercolors all come in dusky blues; and Pam Black, the most distinctive of the bunch, really likes her beige. Black also works with a horse theme here, another element that, thanks to its local appeal, probably helps with the eye-pain of modernist expression.
At the risk of generalizing and then totally missing the point, this column will suggest that 1) the law of group shows applies here (some good, some bad) and 2) "Wintergarden" is totally worth visiting for one particular painting, Annie Harris' "Afternoon Haze–House Next Door." Harris has her color code as well– a sort of light pink that somehow seems to want to be an earthtone. And that color completely saturates "Afternoon."
The painting's erstwhile subject is a country home of a type not unfamiliar to anyone who has spent 10 minutes in Albemarle County, though its outline and detail are only barely suggested in tiny breaks of white. The house is a ghost image, like a subject in a faded photograph. Harris takes this abstract twist on a common representative form almost as far as she can without losing the house completely. Her other work also features the same technique, but not to the same degree. She gets it just right with this one.
Running concurrently with "Wintergarden" is Kelly Powers' "Works in Print."
"Wintergarden," features work by Pam Black, Karen Shea, Susan Bacik, Susan Crowder, Anne Slaughter, and Anne Massie Apperson. Also on display is "Works in Print" by Kelly Powers, and new finds from France at EG Designs. Through January 25. 115 First St. 973-5566.

Westmont college women's basketball coach Kirsten (McKnight) Moore doesn't lose very often.
She does, however, have one loss she will never get over. And it was no game.
Moore, 36, lost her husband, Alex Moore, on May 9 of last year due to complications of Crohn's disease.
And to make an already tragic story even more heart-wrenching, Moore was eight months pregnant with the couple's first child when her husband died.
Through it all, Moore, a graduate of Redwood High and a four-year basketball player at University of Oregon, has persevered.
A season after coaching the Warriors to their best season in school history — they advanced to the Elite 8 in the NAIA tournament — Moore has Westmont on track for another strong season. The Warriors are 10-3 this season and ranked 12th in the nation under the guidance of Moore, who is not only grieving, but also raising an infant girl as a single mom.
On Saturday at the Westmont gym, the university is holding the inaugural Alex Moore Classic, starting at 5:30 p.m. All proceeds from the event will benefit Kirsten and her daughter Alexis and help support Crohn's disease research, as well.
"It's not only losing a husband, but also having her first child — on top of having a demanding job," said former Cal women's basketball coach Caren Horstmeyer, who Moore was an assistant coach for at Cal from 2000-04 and now works for Frank Howard Allen Realtors in Marin. "I think it is amazing that she has been able to come back and remain in a head-coaching role and do as well as she's been able to do."
Moore said she met Alex — a biology professor at Westmont, a small liberal arts college in Santa Barbara — her first year coaching the Warriors in 2006.
"There was no love at first sight, far from it," said Moore, who has guided Westmont to five national tournament appearances in eight seasons. "He took a long time to win me over. We were just friends. I was very focused on my job and building up the program. There was no time for romance at that point in my life. But he was very patient and we became good friends and really got to know each other."
Alex was a competitive bicyclist on the U.S. development team.
"He was a very competitive cyclist," Moore said. "He taught me to ride bikes and found somebody equally competitive. I didn't shy away from 4,000-foot hills that we were going to climb. I stepped up to challenge "... he found it very amusing."
By 2008, Kirsten and Alex were planning a May wedding. But in January of that year, Alex was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disease that attacks the digestive tract.
"He got really sick," Kirsten said. "The disease would flare up. He went through times where he was not so good and other times he felt pretty healthy. He actually started working out again and for one more summer he was still able to compete."
But late last spring, just about the time Kirsten's basketball team was putting the finishing touches on a 31-4 season, Alex's condition worsened.
"Last basketball season it got really bad," Kirsten said. "We went to see a bunch of surgeons. Finally, they decided his entire colon was going to be removed. They did the surgery and the surgery went incredible.
"We were hopeful he was on the road to recovery. He came out of the surgery fine."
That same night, with his wife beside his hospital bed and eight months pregnant, Alex insisted she go home for a good night's rest. She grudgingly agreed.
Kirsten never talked to her husband again.
Alex died during the night from a blood clot.
"You can't explain it," Kirsten said. "How can you be prepared when you get that phone call in the middle of the night? It's devastating. You think it's not real. You really can't imagine all the things that go through your head when it happens."
The Moores' daughter was born on June 29, less than two months after her dad died. Kirsten named the newborn Alexis, after her father.
Kirsten says she has dealt with her husband's sudden death as best she can. She said her faith, her family and her friends have helped her through the worst of times.
"I don't think at any point in life will I have gotten over this — you don't get over this," she said. "It changes you in the deepest way. But it doesn't have to paralyze you. I've tried to grieve and approach this situation in a way that hopefully I can grow and become stronger because of it, and hopefully be a better person because of it.
"I am still very much in the process of grieving. Some days are easier than others. The holidays are tough and certain situations are tough like the first game (this season) when we beat Pepperdine. It was the first time we had beaten a D-I program. That was one of hardest days yet, not having him to share the victory with. It didn't feel nearly as good as it should have."
Kirsten says nothing in her life is easier since her husband died.
"It's harder to win and not have him to share it with," she said. "It's harder to lose and not have him to talk to about it. It's harder to raise a daughter as a single mom. My faith has grown. I'm thankful that when even something as tragic as this happens, God can work something good out of it."
Kirsten says the trials she has endured have changed her entire perspective on life, and quite possibly made her an even better coach.
"I think I've kept in good perspective," she said. "I think about him constantly. I'm hard-pressed to go a minute or two and not be thinking about him. He was a partner with me and what we were doing with the team. He was always supporting me in what I was doing, he really believed in me as a coach. I grew this great program at Westmont and he was my biggest fan and my biggest supporter."
"And my coaching has not escaped from the trials, either. Sometimes as a team we all cry together. Before one game I shared something with the team about perseverance and determination. While I was sharing some of girls started crying with me — not crying weak, but because it means something to us, what we have learned from Alex's life, how we can persevere through challenges."
"Athletics is a lab for life lessons and we're living that. With his loss, we are in an arena where we have this incredible opportunity to build character and quality, whether it's on the court after a bad loss or whether it's losing somebody we were very close to unexpectedly."
The girls on the Westmont team grew to know Alex well.
"Alex was always at (coach Moore's) games and he was at the national tournament," said four-year Westmont player and senior co-captain Jill Wilber. "He drove us around. He was like our team dad. He was somebody we knew really well."
In Alex's office on the Westmont campus hanging on his wall was a poster, a paraphrase from a bible verse, I Chronicles, 28:20. It read, "Be strong and courageous and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord God, my God, is with you."
A portion of the phrase has become this season's mantra for the Westmont team.
"Our motto this year is 'Do the work,'" Kirsten said.
The team has bought in.
"To help coach this year we have tried to support her as much as we could," Wilber said. "Words almost don't seem enough, so as a team, we made a pact, an unspoken pact, to do everything as players we can to make it as easy for her as possible. No drama, just work hard and make it an enjoyable year for her."
Kirsten, through the trials and tribulations, says she has learned valuable life lessons over the past several months.
"If there's any lesson I can take from Alex's death, it's that we can plan all we want but we don't have another day promised to us," she said "So, we need to live every day to its fullest and maximize the opportunities we have right now. Coaching is a lot more than basketball. It's a lot more than winning and losing. It's the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. I have the opportunity to make a difference in my daughter's life and the 12 girls I coach."
And, even in death, Alex is making a difference in his wife's life.

Andrew made his debut on the running circuit today, clocking an impressive 9:33 mile!
For months he's been asking me if he could do a race with me, and finally, I found one: a one-mile race at the Millennium Dome. I asked a friend, who is (a) a doctor (b) a mother and (c) a runner if it woud be OK to have a six-year-old race one mile, and she said it would be no problem. (As it happens, we saw kids younger than Andrew racing too. So maybe my worrying was for nothing).
It was a beautiful Sunday and he was eager to get started, asking me about every two minutes if it was time to go yet. I kept telling him not to start by sprinting, to take it nice and easy. I also told him if he ever got tired, we could walk. But he only asked to do it once, at the very beginning.
When we got to the finish line and I saw his time, I couldn't believe it. I was mentally predicting a 12- or 15-minute mile, so he came in well under my estimates. As we were picking up our finishing certificates, an older woman saw Andrew's time. She turned to her friend and said, "Did you see that? That boy ran a 9:30!"
I couldn't help but say, "He's awesome, isn't he??"
Marathon Mum. Marathon Man. Get the joke? Both feature obsessiveness, shady characters from Europe, lots of running, and most notably, torture. This online journal began as I trained for the 2005 London Marathon. I successfully finished the race, but MarathonMum lives on. After all, life as a mother isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.

In recent years, the Bucknell University Department of Biology has established a dynamic group of professors and postdoctoral researchers with teaching and research interests in ecology, evolution, botany, behavior, conservation, and other aspects of organismal biology. This is a young group of professors, with internationally recognized research programs spanning a wide range of ecological, behavioral, and evolutionary questions. Particular strengths include botany, vertebrate and invertebrate behavior, aquatic ecology, plant/animal interactions, systematics, and entomology.
Each of these professors is a teacher/scholar with active research projects involving undergraduate and sometimes masters-level students. The geographical and intellectual breadth of these research programs is impressive, ranging from studies on the effects of acid mine drainage in Pennsylvania streams to the mating system of frigate birds on northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
Extensive resources for ecological and evolutionary studies are available at Bucknell, many on par with those found at major research universities. But here at Bucknell, they are destined to enrich the undergraduate learning experience. These facilities include:
Furthermore, Bucknell has cooperative agreements with several field stations to host our research and teaching activities. Bucknell also owns the 66 acre Chillisquaque Creek Natural Area located 11 miles east of campus, a mixed succession stream-side farm that is available for student projects. Additionally, Bucknell is a member of the Marine Science Education Consortium (MSEC) at Duke University Marine Laboratory, the Organization for Tropical Studies, and the Duke University Marine Sciences Education Consortium.
Bucknell University is a national leader in placing its students in Ph.D. programs, and has course offerings on par with major research universities. Bucknell's programs in Animal Behavior and Environmental Studies are strong, and many of our first-year students choose to live in the Environmental Residential College. In brief, we offer students interested in undergraduate studies in Ecology and Evolution all the amenities of a major research university, but within the context of a student-centered, liberal arts education. As faculty, we have chosen Bucknell because of the opportunities it gives us to teach the subjects and students we love, well.

There sure is a lot of DLC planned for Battlefield 4--that's to be expected in a world where Season Passes exist. But what will actually be on the disc when the game ships in October?
There will be seven modes to play through, many of them familiar with Battlefield vets: Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Domination, Conquest, Defuse, and Obliteration. These will be played across ten maps.
Two of these modes are new to Battlefield 4. According to CVG, Obliteration has "two teams face off on medium-sized battlegrounds where one bomb spawns in a random central location," and the teams try to detonate the bomb on enemy ground.
Defuse is a more intimate affair, focusing on "infantry-only" with players not being able to respawn.
Here's a video of Obliteration in action:

It just happened again: my system hangs on Disabling IRQ #16, just ater "Storage is finalized" systemd output. It won't poweroff...
As title says, i'm using latest linux-ck, with bfq scheduler, atom optimized, from gravsky's repo.
Any idea?
Last edited by nierro (2013-05-30 09:52:26)
Exactly the same problem here with linux-ck-k10 3.9.3.. I had to downgrade to linux-ck 3.8.13 for the time being since it doesn't cause any problems.
Any idea is welcome.
Do either of you have HP laptops? https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35237
If not, please post this behavior to CK's blog, he or others may have some insights.
No, eeepc1215p here. I'll post later on ck's blog, thanks for the hint!
CK and others suspect this is an issue in upstream. There are reports including the flyspray I referenced, that show the behavior without the ck1 patchest applied. If you read through the blog, you will find evidence that the BFS is a very sensitive tool for uncovering kernel bugs due to its design. Does the same problem occur under 3.9.4-1-ck?
I'll try for some reboots and i'll let you know!
After 3 reboots: no errors so far.
It seems solved in linux-ck 3.9.4.
I'll mark thread as solved!
...just so people know, if indeed 3.9.4 fixed this issue, it has nothing to do with ck. The ck1 patchset for 3.9.x has been unchanged since its release. In other words, this is not an issue caused by it but by upstream bugs.
Thanks for pointing this out, gravsky.
Uhm, it is not yet solved. It is happening again, 3.9.4-2 ck-atom. Probably less often then before (once every 5-6 cycles), but it is happening.
I can only tell you that i tried 3.9.3-ARCH, and it had no problem (it never happened with stock arch kernel), so you said it was an upstream bug (and I forgot about those 2-3days i ran arch kernel, sorry), but i'm not so sure now.
Any idea?
EDIT: next time it happens i'll take a photo, and i'll post here!

Happen to me, every reboot/shutdown. Downgrading to 3.8.8 solve the problem. Tried rebuilding using CONFIG_HP_WMI=n didn't solve it. Happens on both stock and ck kernel. I'm on HP Compaq laptop. Will post the journalctl log tonight.
I've solved mine now.. Blacklisted hp_wmi and now I can reboot and shutdown again.. Hope there will be a fix from upstream soon. :-)
I have a PF kernel, not CK (and no hp-related hardware), and it happens to me occasionally, but I rarely reboot/shutdown.
However, I frequently put the laptop to sleep and it just hangs before shutting down the screen. The sleep LED keeps blinking indefinitely (it should only be blinking during sleep initialisation), and no errors are being printed out, but I suspect it is the same cause as with reboot when the aforementioned printout is visible.
It affects ~50% of sleep cycles, which means that when I put laptop to sleep, I lose my work 50% of the time.

@Lockheed: Adjust your tick rate from 300 Hz to 1000 Hz to avoid this problem if 1k is not the default in pf.

Btw, i switched to -ARCH kernel and problems disappeared.
It never happened since last time i used -ck kernel. (by the way i'm now using xorg-session-launcher and user-session-units, so i cannot revert to -ck)

Why is my Dual 2.7 G5, 5 gigs ram, Slow?

I use my computer for audio production, video editing, and design..(photoshop and similar), as well as the internet.
I can't figure out why my dual 2.7 G5 with 5 gigs of ram doesn't run faster.
It shouldn't be stuttering running 10 tracks of midi in Reason 4. I can't even really tell a difference in the time it takes opening programs.. ( compared to 1 gig ram before upgrading)
Are there ways to optimize my computer to run faster? i should tell ya I used 4gigs Crucial Ram for upgrade... it has the same specs as stock apple ram.
all replies welcome! thanks!

I guess it never seemed to perform up to my expectations. Then I added the 4 gigs of ram and then it really didn't meet my expectations for performance.
I'm using Tiger 10.4.10, and I do install new programs from time to time....usually soft synth plug-ins for use with Pro Tools, Ableton Live, etc...
I am going to take a better look and see what I can remove as far as software apps.
I know ram isn't the only thing that determines the speed of the computer, and I try to keep some free space on my internal drive..which has 113GB available out of 234GB total... I save almost all files on external drives though.
I know there's certain programs for pc that help optimize your computer but I can't seem to find any optimization tools for my G5. Let me know what other info I can provide. Thanks
I always ask this but never get a response...
Install Menumeters and do some testing. Let us know how much RAM and processing power you use doing what you do.
Maybe we can help you more once we have some numbers to work with.
I know there is a disk defrag app for Mac. Try that in the meantime.
I had a Dual 2.7 for a few weeks. It had a downgraded video card but it produced the same I as Core Duo 2GHz iMac I had. It's almost 2 years old, isn't it?

Eagle Air suspends flights to Wanaka
Press Release – Air New Zealand
Eagle Air is suspending its loss making service between Christchurch and Wanaka from January next year.Media release
14 November 2012
Eagle Air suspends flights to Wanaka
Eagle Air is suspending its loss making service between Christchurch and Wanaka from January next year.
The service was first introduced in 2004 but has always struggled commercially and is not projected to break even in the near future.
Eagle Air General Manager Carrie Hurihanganui says the situation has been exacerbated by ongoing cost increases; including those at both the Christchurch and Wanaka ends of the service.
Queenstown Lakes District Council increased facilities rental costs at Wanaka Airport last year and Christchurch International Airport Limited recently declared a 63% increase in landing fees from December, with another increase planned for July 2013. This is despite average fares for this market having reduced by 4% over the past five years.
"For more than eight years we've worked hard to try to make this route work. We've tried increasing schedule frequency, different service timings, reducing fares, investing in promoting the service and working with local stakeholders; including suggestions around improving local infrastructure. All of this has proved unsuccessful and only added to the hundreds of thousands of dollars we have lost on this route over the years.
"To break even on the Christchurch – Wanaka route we would need to increase fares by over 40% but the average fare is already higher than the average fare between Christchurch and Queenstown."
Queenstown offers about 25,000 return seats per week to a range of destinations and Ms Hurihanganui says the Christchurch – Wanaka route simply can't compete.
The last flight to operate this service will be 30 January 2013.

The woman soldier was just one of the women schoolchildren were introduced to on Thursday during the School Days at Arkansas Post National Memorial to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Arkansas Post.
Major Paul Cushman spied for the Union Army, convincing a general after Cushman enlisted that he could impersonate a woman and spy on the Confederate Army.
Cushman was successful in both attempts. However, Marde Clardy of Pine Bluff said there was only one slight problem — the impersonation was not hard for Cushman who was actually Pauline, a female and former actress.
The woman soldier was just one of the women schoolchildren were introduced to on Thursday during the School Days at Arkansas Post National Memorial to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Arkansas Post. Around 500 students visited different stations to learn about the era while around 400 students were expected Friday.
Women in the Civil War
Clardy said there are plenty of examples of women who acted as men during the Civil War. Loreta Janeta Velazquez, or Lt. Harry Buford, joined the Confederate army shortly after her husband. According to civilwar.org, she moved to Arkansas to raise a volunteer regiment. Her true gender was discovered twice after being wounded in two separate battles and she finally retired to become a spy.
It was a similar tale for Sarah Edmonds Seelye, or Union Pvt. Frank Thompson. Like Velazquez, Seelye was originally charged with desertion after leaving the army to avoid medical attention and eventual discovery. In 1884, she was cleared of the desertion charges through an Act of Congress.
The Battle of Arkansas Post during the Civil War occurred 150 years ago although it's still not uncommon to find artifacts dating back to the period. Bill Farmer of Bearden said the most common artifacts found are bullets anywhere the troops camped or fought.
Farmer said the artifacts are still being found because "we have better metal detectors now" that scan further into the ground. Most of his own artifacts were found in Arkansas and include a woman's pistol and harmonica pieces.
When searching, Farmer said the rule "finders, keepers" apply as long as the discovery is not on state or federal property. Individuals should also receive permission before searching on private land.
Well-Dressed Lady
Just how many layers did a Civil War-era woman wear? Well, it depended on the season, according to Maria Jackson of the Arkansas Post Museum State Park.
It's just one of the questions that Jackson, whose work occasionally has her dressing in a typical period costume, is always asked. Children also want to know what makes her skirts stand out — her hoops.
To explain, Jackson began an educational program that allowed children to dress a large doll layer by layer to get a full understanding of a "Well-Dressed Lady" during the Civil War era.
The Invalid Soldier
A soldier's work during the Civil War did not end with their injuries. Charles Wright of Stuttgart said the wounded soldier was just used in a different capacity, such as cleaning, cooking or helping in the infirmary.
In some instances, these wounded soldiers were taken to the battlefield and left in key
spots, such as against a tree to help fight in skirmishes. Wright said these men were known to be fierce warriors, a necessary trait since they typically couldn't run off. They had to fight to death or capture.
To learn more, visit the Arkansas Post National Memorial and Arkansas Post Museum Sate Park this Saturday and Sunday during their commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Arkansas Post.

Submission + - Copyright Group To Collect From Creative Commons E (activepolitic.com)
bs0d3 writes: In Leipzig, Germany, an 8 hour music/dance party event was organized to play nothing but creative commons music the entire time. A German copyright group called GEMA told the organizers that to be certain that no rights were infringed, it would need a list of all artists including their full names, place of residency and date of birth. After the event GEMA sent an invoice for 200 euros. They claim that behind pseudonyms some of their artists may be hidden and produce things that they would not earn anything from. According to German law, you are required to prove that an artist is not with GEMA. So even though GEMA probably does not have rights to any of the music, they are not required to prove that they do.

SEED presentation made at Kiwanis Club meeting
Ken Becker, the Executive Director of SEED (Sweetwater Enterprise for Economic Development), presented an informative program on the gas and oil industry during the Wednesday, noontime meeting of the Sweetwater Kiwanis Club.Since January 2012, SEED has been following the industry, notably the Cline Shale. As the exploration is a new find, the Cline Shale is not found on most maps, although time will tell its true location.Some estimates cite the Cline Shale as 140 miles long (north to south), 75 miles wide (east to west), anywhere from 6,000 to 9,000 feet deep, and 200 to 500 feet thick. This size is almost double of what some believe the Eagleford Shale extends, and around 30 billion barrels are estimated from the Cline Shale.Many people feel that with this endeavor, water is a concern. To frack one well, anywhere from three to five million gallons are used.But, Becker stated that this amount must be put into perspective, as 4.5 million gallons of water would keep Sweetwater operational for two full days. He said that the industry is doing a good job in finding alternate methods in the fracking process, although the most inexpensive route has been using freshwater.One of the largest companies in the industry is Devon, who has 650,000 wells--with around 500,000 being within the Cline Shale. Nolan County is one of several counties in the Cline Shale, but there is still uncertainty as to what level the county will be included.Becker has also been speaking with Sweetwater High School alum Robert Reyes, a fluid expert with Halliburton. Reyes' role is to maintain wells and teaching others how to change fluids used in the process, resulting in a new industry for a whole new market.Overlap is one thing that will be seen for Nolan County, as its location is in the eastern part of the Permian Basin while also being part of the Cline Shale. Due to its depth, Becker said that the Cline Shale is more of a geological location than a geographical location.In October 2012, Nolan County began working alongside entities in Snyder and Colorado City to learn about the future endeavor, specifically by learning from the Eagleford Consortium in San Antonio. While many people first heard in 2010 of how the Eagleford Shale became an overnight success, the first well was actually drilled in 2005.And locally, the same thing is happening with the Cline Shale. Becker explained that many people do not have information on the venture, thus they lack understanding that something of this magnitude takes time to occur. As a result, complacency within a community can set it. However, Sweetwater and the nearby communities have worked diligently in determining how to plan for the Cline regarding workforce and housing, in which the latter has typically proven to be the last piece of the puzzle.However, Sweetwater has been fortunate with community growth since the 2006 wind boom. While 1,200 workers were in the area in 2008, the number has decreased to around 250--but overall growth has resulted.In order to be proactive and prepare for the future, Becker praised the SEED board in their work with the Sweetwater Business Park. Purchased in 2005, work began in 2008 and by January 2013, all 88 acres were sold.He also acknowledged the work by the city in their ordinances regarding shipping containers and truck parking. And although money is required, examination is being done on how county roads will be resurfaced due to increased traffic.The state of Texas is a large part of the industry, as it produces 30% of all oil in the United States. Of that total, the Permian Basin alone makes up 18 to 20%.And if Texas was a nation of its own, it would be ranked third-largest in the world regarding natural gas. It would only fall behind Russia and the remaining 49 states in America.Furthermore, Nolan County has made an imprint in the wind industry, as they are among the top 12 to 15 in world rankings. Thus, Becker noted that the community cannot forget its past and it must take care of the businesses already in the area, even while the oil boom makes it way.In the past 12 months, over ten companies have already established offices, as Sweetwater boasts itself as a great location for a regional office. Becker expressed how fortunate Sweetwater is to be in a new and exciting position, along with the city and county workers and employees who are willing to make the town a progressive community.

Retired Reserve Doc Deploys Third Time
By Paul X. Rutz
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 16, 2006 – Most military members end their careers by the time they are half his age, but one Army doctor says he would rather come out of retirement again and again to help the troops than watch from the sidelines. Tomorrow, retired Army Reserve Col. William Bernhard, a 75-year-old surgeon, will start a journey to Afghanistan, his third deployment in the war on terror. "It's a great opportunity for me to serve the young men and women who, as we all know, have medical and surgical problems," said Bernhard. "We need trained, experienced physicians to take care of them, and I feel honored that I've been selected to go over there and provide medical care for these troops."
Bernhard, who lives in Cecil County, Md., has over 40 years' medical experience, directing anesthesia at the University of Maryland's shock trauma center for 10 of those years. He said he has trained countless military medics in the emergency room, and he remains one of the Army's most experienced flight surgeons, keeping his skills up part time at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. "It doesn't take any training for me to go to war," he said. "All I have to do is get new uniforms ... and qualify again with the 9-millimeter (pistol)." Bernhard said every February he calls the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Va., headquarters for the Army and Air Guard, and talks to the people in charge of a program called "BOG," for "Boots on the Ground," which puts doctors in field hospitals for 90-day rotations.
Over the past three years, the National Guard has been operating with fewer doctors than it would like, Bernhard said. "Unfortunately we used to have 850 Guard physicians," he said. "Now there are under 450 -- and less than 400, I'm told, are deployable." So he takes his turn, helping fulfill the Defense Department's commitments overseas. Bernhard said he knows three other physicians who have also come out of the retired reserve to serve actively again. Going back to active duty is always a funny process, he said. "I go in to get an ID card, and they punch in my numbers, and they say, 'You're retired. You can't have an ID card.'" The same thing happens as he stands in line to change insurance policies, get new uniforms and all the rest.
Having joined the Marine Corps in 1950, Bernhard was soon discharged due to a knee injury, which he said was a major disappointment.
He joined the Navy as an anesthesiologist and served 10 years on active and reserve duty, then switched to the Army Reserve for 22 more years. When Bernhard leaves his home tomorrow, he will spend about five days at Fort Benning, Ga., before traveling to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. From there he'll fly to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, then convoy into Kabul, where he will connect with the Oregon Army National Guard's 141st Support Battalion.
"I don't sign up when I go overseas for anesthesia because I've done all that," he said. "I'd much rather sign up to be a field surgeon, which means that I can work at a battalion aide station and at a trauma station, and I sign up to work also as a flight surgeon, and that gets me flying a lot of missions and taking care of aviators." Last year, he deployed to Iraq with the Mississippi Army National Guard's 155th Brigade Combat Team. He took charge of medical facilities at five forward operating bases west and south of Baghdad.
"Any time I went outside the wire -- and I was out a lot flying all over and doing missions outside the wire -- I usually carried a 9mm and a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun because you're close in to them there, and you're in villages," he said. On Nov. 23, 2005, Bernhard and his unit found themselves guarding a bombed-out building on the Euphrates River 85 miles west of Baghdad. "I was the one with the shotgun, so I had to cover the little alley coming down behind us," he said. "We got in a firefight for about 10 hours that night. A patrol coming down got within a quarter of a mile of us, and (the insurgents) ambushed them, and they killed one of my medics that night."
Experiences like that make him want to continue to do all he can to help his fellow servicemembers, he said. Being semi-retired offers him the time to work on research projects while he's stateside. And thanks to his military background, he can pursue new technologies to help in combat situations. In Iraq he tested a new stethoscope, which he had been working on for years at the Army's research lab at Fort Rucker, Ala. "This stethoscope worked magnificently," he said. "It could work in a Black Hawk (transport helicopter). It worked in a noisy trauma center. It was just great." This year, a dozen of the new stethoscopes are being sent overseas with Army doctors.
"Here's an idea that I had that we've built, and now it's starting to be used by the active duty military," he said. "It feels good."

Iran Feature: The Week in Civil Society --- Criticising the Supreme Leader and Much More (Arseh Sevom)
All over the world, people who care about the fate of detained lawyerNasrin Sotoudeh breathed a collective sigh of relief as word came in that her demands had been met and that she had ended her 49-day hunger strike.
Dr. Mohammad Maleki wrote a powerful letter criticizing Iran's Supreme Leader. The chief of the cybercrimes unit was sacked in the fallout of the investigation of the death of blogger Sattar Beheshti, and the Cyrus Cylinder travels to the US. HIV seems to be on the rise in Iran while nurses flee the country seeking better working conditions elsewhere. The UN has condemned Iran's human rights abuses, demonstrators in Paris call attention to Iranian women who have been denied their rights, and German banks move to make transactions for humanitarian items such as medicine possible.
Forced hijab comes with instruction now, there are reports that the death sentence against web programmer Saeed Malekpour has been lifted, and Asghar Farhadi is named as one of Foreign Policy's Global Thinkers.

Family seeks help in finding body of lost boater
Mystic — The family of a boater who went missing on May 17 has narrowed down the area of where they believe he fell off his boat and is asking that boaters keep an eye out for his body.
Daniel Strelczuk, 62, of Thompson, was sailing his white 1974 30-foot Dufour sloop, named the Cassiopea, when he went missing between 1 and 7 p.m. while heading back to Spicer's Marina in Noank from New London after a day watching the Charles W. Morgan's inaugural trip. His boat was found adrift near Fishers Island.
The family believes, based on photos submitted of Strelczuk's boat, that he fell off his boat between Bluff Point and Groton Long Point, according to daughter Meg Strelczuk, of Warwick, R.I.
"To this day, my dad still has not been found," Meg Strelczuk said Monday.
She said that the family hoped to find Strelczuk, who was wearing a red jacket with black accents on the shoulders when he went missing, soon so they could give him a proper burial.
Meg said her family no longer expects to find Strelczuk alive and she commented that it can be difficult to spot a drowned body. She asked that mariners in more remote areas also check around their boats.
"I know there's a lot more remote areas that I can't even get to," she said.
She said her family had held off on arrangements, believing at first that Strelczuk might come back alive. The Strelczuks plan to hold services within the month, she said.
The children of Strelczuk submitted their own DNA samples to New York State Police, which is in charge of the case, two weeks ago, according to Meg Strelczuk.
She said they have also submitted a razor belonging to their father and noted that Connecticut State Police last attempted to locate Strelczuk a month ago using sonar.
There are no known active efforts to find the Strelczuk's body by local law enforcement. At the time of his disappearance, an extensive search was conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard with aid from police and fire departments in both Connecticut and New York.
Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection spokesman Dennis Schain said New York assumed responsibility for the investigation when the boat was found in New York waters. He said the state DEEP would be ready to work with New York authorities if the body was discovered in Connecticut.
Groton Police Lt. John Varone, whose department was involved in the search, said he hoped the Strelczuk family could find closure.
Editor's note: This version corrects the day Daniel Strelczuk went missing.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Bucknell University first-year student Laura Razzuri is one of 50 students selected to participate in Oxfam's CHANGE Initiative, a weeklong training program, in Quincy, Mass., in July.
Razzuri, of Arlington, Va., is a Posse Foundation Scholar. She has been a member of the Languages and Cultures Residential College and a member of the Organization of Hispanic and Latin American Students.
"I applied to the Oxfam program because I always had a dream of going abroad and doing social justice work, particularly environmental work, and this would be a great opportunity to get started on a possible future career," said Razzuri.
"I also thought it would really help me when I began designing my major — which combines environmental studies, international relations, and Arabic — and focus it with a social justice aspect."
Oxfam America is an international relief and development organization that creates lasting solutions to poverty, hunger and injustice. The CHANGE Initiative is a highly competitive national program that trains college students to become actively engaged with Oxfam America's work. Its goals: to broaden perspectives, inspire action, and shape a new generation of global citizens.
Each year, Oxfam's CHANGE Initiative brings together some of the most gifted and committed student activists in the United States. These students commit to engage with Oxfam for an entire academic year beginning with a weeklong advocacy and leadership training program.
The purpose of the week is to develop students' skills, expand their knowledge of global issues and provide them with the necessary resources to retum to their campuses and undertake work with a view toward alleviating global hunger and poverty. Key issues to be discussed at this year's training will include food security, agriculture and social justice in the extractive industries (oil, mining, gas).
