Five Leafs thoughts to begin the week - April 8th
Cam Charron
April 08 2013 04:18AM
A few thoughts to begin the week... TV rights, Jake Gardiner, effort, and more...
No. 1 - Leafs back in the win column… if you got to see it
As soon as CBC announced that Montreal and Boston was going to be the national game for this last week, I immediately looked for somebody to handle the game recap, and made my own plans for Saturday night. I live out in BC, so I wouldn't be able to get the game on TV with the benefit of a PVR system allowing me to rewind plays and double-check observations or whatever it is I do.
So not only is the game blacked out in Vancouver, but it's also blacked out on GameCentre Live, and the only feed available is a usually-unreliable CBC online feed. Not that I want to discourage CBC from moving their product online. I think five or ten years from now, it's not unreasonable to suggest that cable companies will be "out" and we'll watch our TV primarily by streaming services or downloadable content.
By the way, here's some good reading about a potential lawsuit launched last year by some fans of the NHL and MLB, who don't like the league's internet blackout restrictions. If any legal mind knows if that case has picked up since December I'd love to hear about it.
No. 2 - Is Jake Gardiner… okay?
Twitter lit up early into last game after Steve Bernier hit Jake Gardiner into the boards and he went shaky to the bench, before going into the lockerroom. There was also, unfortunately, a lot of snarky tweets directed at bloggers because it looked for once like the Leafs were handling a head injury with some caution. Of course, those arguments would be more convincing if Gardiner hadn't already played earlier this season with what was later revealed to be a concussion.
On this moment though, it doesn't seem like there was another concussion. Jonas Siegel said Gardiner got ten stitches from the hit and should have a nasty shiner this week. Still, there are some quotes in Jonas' piece that leave more questions unanswered than answered:
It is unquestionably for that reason that [Leafs head coach Randy] Carlyle has demanded more from Gardiner in recent days, weeks and months. While sensing the obvious natural talents, Carlyle is focused on rounding out the game of his youthful defender, ensuring that he become more than just a race-horse capable of joining the odd rush.
"I think I have to be better defensively with coach Carlyle," Gardiner said of the contrast between Carlyle and his first coach in the NHL, Ron Wilson. "It seems like he's a little more detailed than Wilson was in that sense. Last year it seemed like I could, not get away with anything, but just [be] more offensive-minded than defensive."
Nothing wrong with focusing on defence since it isn't Gardiner's strong suit. But there's very little specific in just what Carlyle is going to do to help Gardiner's defensive game. It's more than "making good plays" or "making smart decisions" since those are the plays for the most part what Gardiner was doing last season. Was there anything wrong with what Gardiner was before?
No. 3 - James Reimer again
Word on the street is that Reimer put together another strong game. I still haven't seen it, but the Leafs were out-shot by a hefty margin on Saturday and came away with a victory. If you look at the Behind the Net Fenwick timeline of the game, you'll see that the Leafs didn't record a single un-blocked shot after the 2-1 goal. Madness.
There was something oddly pleasant about Reimer being named First Star of the Saturday night game as Miikka Kiprusoff got lit up by the Canucks and Roberto Luongo was on the bench. At this point there's a part of me that wants to see Reimer keep winning games because there are a lot of media types in the city I live who are acting almost insulted that Dave Nonis didn't go out of his way to acquire Roberto Luongo, and instead decided to live with the younger and cheaper Reimer who is having a fantastic season.
No. 4 - Plus players
The Leafs who had a positive shot differential against New Jersey:
- Jake Gardiner (+4)
- Phil Kessel (+2)
- Clarke MacArthur (+1)
- Carl Gunnarsson (E)
The Cody Franson (-11) and Mark Fraser (-15) pairing got absolutely eaten alive. There seems to be so much focus on improving Gardiner's play that nobody's noticed Mark Fraser has been a liability in both ends for the last two weeks or so. I guess he's allowed to get away with it because he has a lower ceiling?
I don't know why he can't also be held out of the lineup.
No. 5 - Effort
I bring this up because @67sound linked to it over the weekend. There's a reason you can't judge what Fraser, Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren et. al do based on effort alone. Effort is illusory. Merely succeeding in your role isn't enough. Some roles are more difficult.
Sometimes, the way you rate a player is biased towards the effort he displays, even if it doesn't sync with his actual value. If that sounds like the controversial remarks of an outsider, it isn't. Stan Bowman, Stanley Cup-winning general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks said that at the Sloan Analytics Conference in 2011.
Here's more I wrote on the subject using Bowman's words:
Well, Bowman pointed out, the ratings provided by the coach, tallied up after every game, never matched reality. A coach's subjective bias, he explained, benefit the third line players and the players who were closer to replacement level. Those players ratings were "unfairly propped up because the expectations for that player are much lower."
For a grinder, "he's expected to go out on the ice and create energy," Bowman continued. "That player can probably do the job to the coach's liking without a doubt as long as the effort's there."
But for a scorer, things are more different. While any scrub with a strong set of shoulders and good skating ability can go out, bang and crash and get the crowd into the game, a scorer requires a different skill-set. The best scorers and players in the game will usually benefit from three or four scoring chances a night and six or seven shot attempts. When you consider that a fraction of those chances or attempts hit the back of the net, you can find that a grinder is more likely to do his job than the scorer.
"You can't necessarily score every game, no matter how hard you try."
There's no real substitute for talent, in the end.
If you think it's hard to watch games when they're blacked out in Canada, don't try and watch hockey in the UK... When things are blacked out over here, it's because they are being shown on a sports channel which requires satellite TV (which I can't get), and costs £50 a month. And of course, because the game is on at 2am, it's not like I can go to the pub to watch it.
Oh, and since this channel will show the whole of the playoffs, the whole of the playoffs will be blacked out in the UK. Fact is that I'm more than happy to pay for Gamecentre Live if the NHL is offering the games, but since they aren't...
VPN service my friend. Google it. I'm watching anything I want on GameCentre live, by virtually residing anywhere I want. Its affordable, good quality, and I get every game, no cable required.
April 08 2013, 11:15AM
I also live in Vancouver and use a VPN service. I got to watch the game on my PS3 Game Centre no problem.

Ughh sparkle
"Definitely not as shown - there are metallic silver stripes or something woven in. It is slighly shown in the pictures, and I mean slightly. It definitely was a disappointment b/c I love the style and so want a true black pair. I don't care for the sparkle, but others others may not mind. They do fit true (I'm a size 8 1/2, and they fit perfect) and are probably the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on my feet. I will keep hoping for a true black from Roxy. They make great shoes, so you'll be getting your money's worth."

Organica is a wonderful staple for any wellness center or health care setting. We have never had a patient react to or complain about this product. With Arnica as a number one ingredient we feel confident that we are setting our clients out on the best path possible.
I really like this lotion! I was also equally surprised that it worked very well for a Hot Stone Massage. Typically use straight oil, and now I know that is not necessary.
I have stuck with the same lotion my whole career, and then I had a client that was allergic to propylene glycol so I tried to find lotion that didn't contain that ingredient. This is the one I chose and I really like it. I don't have to apply the lotion nearly as often, so it is actually lasting longer than the cheaper stuff I used to use.
I love Organica lotion. It has great glide, doesn't ball up, leaves skin feeling smooth and not greasy. My clients love it too. I also love that it is organic.
I got an 8oz bottle of this to try after deciding to switch from my old lotion of choice. This has a faint fragrance that i find fresh and kind of pleasant. It absorbs a little quick and i have to use a bit more than usual for a good glide. It gets a little sticky, but not in a bad way like some other lotions i've tried. I liked it and my clients did too.

Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic PREVENTS VICTIMS OF LAND CONTRACT SCAM FROM FORECLOSURE
DETROIT, Mich. – December 17, 2012 – University of Detroit Mercy School of Law's Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic successfully argued a motion today in Wayne County Circuit Court to prevent 70 Wayne County individuals and their families from foreclosure and wrongful eviction.
Paramount Land Holdings, locally funded by the Detroit Police and Fire Pension Fund, purchased foreclosed properties for as little as $10. Through land contracts, it sold them for inflated prices to buyers who were assured that Paramount had paid all back taxes. Homeowners learned otherwise when Wayne County began foreclosure proceedings for back taxes. As a result, many homeowners stopped making their monthly payments to Paramount.
A receiver, appointed by the Wayne County Circuit Court to maintain Paramount properties, obtained a Court Order to Terminate Land Contract Interests and to Gain Exclusive Possession. Essentially, the Order sought to strip the homeowners from their property and evict them from their homes.
The UDM Law Clinic successfully argued that the Order was improper because the homeowners were victims of a land contract scam who did not have an opportunity to contest the receiver's assertions. The homeowners could not dispute the claims because no complaint was filed and no summons was obtained or served. As a result of the Clinic's intervention, the Order was set aside and the homeowners were able to remain in their homes. Professor Joon Sung, Director of the Clinic, commented on the significance of this victory for the homeowners, stating, "We ensured that victims of Paramount's land contract scam, which was funded by Detroit Police and Fire Pension Funds, would not be harmed again.
About UDM Law's Mortgage Foreclosure Defense Clinic
UDM Law students, working under the supervision of licensed attorneys/faculty members, represent victims of predatory lending practices in federal and state courts to stop homeowners from losing their homes due to foreclosure. Clinic students handle cases involving mortgage fraud, foreclosure rescue scams, and loan servicing errors. They have the opportunity to interview clients, argue motions, negotiate settlements, and conduct trials. In addition, students engage in community outreach through presentations and development of written materials to educate homeowners on foreclosure remedy options and rescue scams.

To create innovative hair styles, you need innovative hair tools. That's why celeb hair stylists Kevin Ryan and Frank Rizzieri designed Rsession styling tools. After years of styling for photo shoots and runway shows, Ryan and Rizzieri decided it was time to create their dream tools. The collection includes the Nalu Waver, Root Control, Heat Mat and Pinup Girl Kit.
Not Good Enough For The Price....I bought this for my daughters (mixed). Their hair is fine, but very small, tight, dense curls. We have problems getting the hair around the edges and I thought this tool would be perfect.
The Pros: It heats up fast. For longer hair on the edge, it does pretty good. You can get close to the root and not get burned.
The Cons: Doesn't do much better than the 1/4 inch FHI flat iron that we have. The cost is high for a item that you can only really use on the edges and doesn't make a huge difference.

Worth It!This does exactly what it claims to do; I always have little curls/waves that show up (even after using a shower cap in the shower) between blow-outs and flat iron sessions- this helps touch them up quickly and easily. It is also much easier to get close to the roots than a flat iron. I can usually get away with the second to last heat setting, but if my hair is really stubborn I go to the top. It's also got a REALLY long cord, which is great if you need the extra reach.

The ASICS Gel Scout provides serious traction and rugged trail performance, featuring moderate cushioning and a semi-soft ride.
Bring along the ASICS Gel Scout for your next trail running adventure. The shoe's outsole gives you full contact with the ground for more stability and a better connection to the trail. A soft upper creates comfort and a supportive cage wraps your foot for extra durability. Aggressively lugged with a forefoot rock plate, this shoe performs well on rocky and loosely packed trails.
Model Number:
Weight: 11.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (30mm), Forefoot (22mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Gel Scout is a moderate feature, moderate neutral trail shoe designed for high mileage and daily training.
Comments: Terribly flimsy shoes. After less than 300km the shoes are ripped apart. The grip on the soles are torn of, the uppers are full of holes and the toe boxes are destroyed. If Asics want to compete in the trail running market they will have to produce a more robust shoe. This shoe is only good for basic Jeep track running.
From: Andre. June 7th 2014
Comments: Great trail shoes... Wore these through a tough winter. Great grip and flexibility. Only complaint is that after 4 months both toe boxes are blow open on both sides. If they could make the upper a little tougher I'd buy a dozen of these. Now I'm not sure if I want another pair... they're amazing, but won't last but a few months...
From: Anonymous, Akron, OH, USA. April 19th 2014
Comments: Great shoe. I've run an ultra in them, no problems. I've run many rocky trails, mud, pretty much everything and they're always comfortable. They're not super light, but they don't feel like blocks of lead on my feet either. When these one's wear out, which might take a long time, I will definitely buy another pair. Hopefully Asics will keep making them.
From: Josh, Modiin, Israel. 3/6/14
Comments: Purchased a pair of these shoes specifically for a 60k race that had both trail and road sections. They were the perfect choice - over rocks, through the mud and down the road. Zero problems.
From: Jeff, Dublin, OH, USA
Comments: I bought these shoes to train up for my first 50k and 50 miler. The trails near home have some very rocky sections, so I wanted something with good protection. Also, training in the winter, I wanted shoes that would drain and shed mud well. Also, being able to run on asphalt to the trails would be a bonus. These shoes turned out to be a winner on all these counts. I have been very happy with the traction in all conditions. I barely feel the sharp rocks I step on, but there's enough feel for the trail to give me good control. While I have been extremely pleased, there are a few things that could be improved. First is the color scheme. First run I took them straight into the mud to try to improve the look. After a few runs they eventually got dirty enough that they are almost bearable. (Of course this is personal preference). Secondly, the durability of the uppers is not great. There is a soft inner mesh and a coarse outer mesh. The outer mesh is not very flexible. Early on I noticed a gash in on the side of the shoe near my big toe. I thought I had clipped a branch or something that tore it. But the same exact tear developed on the other shoe. It is at the flex point in the shoe. The material is firm and brittle so it broke rather than flexing well. Also, because they have the outer mesh for protection, the inner mesh was made to be much thinner than in a typical shoe. This may not be a problem for most people, but I am a mild "big toe lifter". I was wondering why some of the brand new socks I bought wore out at the big toe in one 20-mile run.
From: Homer, Norther California
Comments: It's love at first run. I picked these up last weeked on a trip to the US, had them shipped to my hotel. As usual my experience with RW was flawless, it's 6X in 2012 I've purchased from RW and everytime I've been very happy. Where to start. They run roomy for a 10. I was previously running in a Size 10 Cascadia which I found a bit tight on the toes, a 10 here fit perfect, lots of room for toe splay, and no bumping on steep downs. The fit was excellent, these are my first Asics, I normally run in Saucony or Brooks, and found the fit as good or better than my Triumphs. I'm a neutral runner, and I find any arch support hard to adjust to, these came in perfect. My first run was a 29m hilly trail run it also was snowing (better than the rain they predicted). The traction was better than I expected with no noticeable slippage I can comment on. I did take it easy on slick rocks, but not many shoes would accomodate for slick rocks with snow anyway. I left this long cold run with my feet/ankles feeling great. I've been suffering through some PF lately and was fearful at this distance it would be ugly, it feels better today than any other run in a long while. Styling is good, my running partner liked it more than I do, but frankly I don't care for any styling, I'm more a functional/comfortable person. It could be hot pink for all I care. Overall this is a winner in my eyes. I'm now praying Asics keeps true to form with this shoe for years to come because I've finally found the trail shoe I need. I liked it so much I've signed up for my 2nd Ultra in the spring of 2013.
From: Ron, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Comments: At 12 ounces, I was a little skeptical, but the shoe got great reviews, so I gave it a try. It's unique for a trail shoe because there are few that can effectively run on the road and then tackle really muddy, hilly, rocky, technical terrain equally well. The thin mesh wrapping outside of the shoe does a great job keep leaves and sticks from grabbing. The flexibility in the forefoot is good considering the rock plate. Traction was fine in deep mud and the grooves were able to shed it later in the run, too. The lace tab feature at the top of the tongue is cool but it isn't very durable - have a couple of holes already with only 50 miles on them. So far very happy with the shoe. It has a Nimbus sort of fit, which is pretty generous width and depth-wise. For those of us with wider feet we have few options in the trail world and this is very good one.
From: Anonymous
Comments: When I got them in the mail, I really liked the bright orange on blue. Your computer screen won't capture how nice and bright it is.
The important part is how they run. I took them on a muddy, technical, 11 mile run. I forded deep creeks several times. They were stable, sticky, and the water left as fast as it entered (which is instantly).
Because of the lower heel to toe drop, they accommodate a midfoot strike well. They also climb and descend as well as any shoe I've owned. The firm cushioning makes the shoe responsive and comfortable, an important balance to consider in a trail shoe. The full contact bottom resembles the Cascadia and I would say that this shoe is a slightly beefier version of that iconic shoe (however, the upper is crazy breathable for such tough out sole...like a pair of cj-7s for your feet).
Lastly, they look even better with some mud on them and I can't wait to take them out again :)

I've noticed that lately there are releases added, that doesn't have the original links added. I don't have problem with it, if there are other links added like the mangshare reader or links that operate in other territory's (like an Europe host for europe users), or that users post other links besides the original links. But something like adding it on filesonic and left out the original host of the scanlation group and not even crediting or noticing the groups site and force the users to use filesonic is unacceptable.
And what is even more annoying is that there are sometimes three filesonic links posted.

Surrounded by love and family, Valerie Ann Dickson was reunited with her dad after a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer on Sept. 5, 2009.
She was born Dec. 11, 1964 in Price, Utah to William Lee "Mick" Dickson and Glenna Gilson.
From the beginning, Valerie did things her own way. The spunk she was born with never faltered, it led her on a life that went many places, gave her many friends and helped her battle an overwhelming enemy.
As a small child, Valerie was precocious and curious. She had a beautiful smile and contagious giggle. Valerie graduated as an East Carbon Viking in 1983, where she was involved in cheer, basketball and volleyball. She had a brilliant mind, quick wit, and she made those around her simultaneously frustrated and deliriously happy.
Valerie spent many summers in Lake Powell where she worked and played with equal fervor. She loved boating, skiing and the many people from all different places. She also spent several years in Colorado where she became a diehard Denver Bronco's superfan. She returned to Price to be with her family and go to school and pursue a career in computers. Valerie was very proud of her time at the College of Eastern Utah and she continued to take classes in between doctor visits and chemotherapy.
The last year was filled with time at home being cared for by her loving mother. Valerie poured every once of love she had into being a daughter, sister, and aunt and loving caretaker of wayward animals. Valerie walked with her dad in his battle with cancer although she was fighting her own.
He preceded her in death by only a short time.
She is survived by her loving mother and step-father, Glenna (Jackson) Gilson, Price; three sisters, Miki Lynn (Clint) McInelly, Paula (Kenny) Vigil, both of Price; Leslie (Tanner) Dickson-Christensen, East Carbon; nephew, Jordan Goranson; and "her girls" her nieces, Ashley and Alyssa Vigil, and Tori Dickson. All of whom she loved as her very own, and of course, her cat O.B.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009, 1 p.m. at Mitchell Funeral Home. Interment, Cliffview Cemetery, Price. In remembrance of Valerie, please send donations to the American Cancer Society in memory of her. Arrangements entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home.
Bill to her (Mother) Glenna Gilson, 754 North 300 East, Price, Utah 84501

Can anyone confirm that "1000 year Blood WARD" is a correct translation?
When they say WARD, does that mean "someone being cared for in place of some other person", or was the letter "D" an error and this should have read WAR?
If the word is "WARD", then who is the WARD, Juha Bach? Is Juha Bach really a Royalty as he is being called 'Your Excellency" or Majesty or whatever the Quincies called him?
If he is a WARD, who's ward is he, the SOul King? Is this (Guessing) the reason CCYG could not kill him? IS the SOUL king now looking at Ichigo as the Replacement and Counter to Juha Bach?
We won;t know the answers for a long time, 5 chapters is a long time to wait, and even then revelations may come out really slowly.

A look at New York's philosophy, team needs and a key free-agent move
Team philosophies
Offense -- This will be an interesting offense to watch as the season unfolds. We know that Rex Ryan wanted to have a run-oriented offense a year ago to complement his aggressive defense, but he did not have the personnel to get it done. Under former coordinator Tony Sparano this offense seemed to have little creativity and there was no flow to it. Ryan replaced Sparano with ex-Eagles coach Marty Mornhinweg -- which is an interesting choice because he is a West Coast proponent and Philadelphia's offense was probably 60-40 in the pass-run ratio.
However, what a lot of people don't realize is that Mornhinweg likes to run the ball a lot more than most West Coast offenses, so the Jets will likely have more balance than expected. He will throw a lot of underneath and crossing routes with occasional deep shots off play-action and misdirection -- and screen plays will have a role in this offense. But most importantly this will be a smarter, assignment-oriented offense.
Defense -- Dennis Thurman is the new coordinator, but this is still Ryan's defense and the scheme will be the same. It will be a basic 3-4 package with some 4-3 looks to occasionally fit better with the personnel. As much as Ryan has a reputation as a blitz-happy coach, the Jets do not attack as much as you might think; when they can drop seven defenders into coverage they are better off. They will play games up front, will line up in a lot of tight man schemes on the back end and they even have a 4-2-5 look that they can use as their base package at times. We might even see some of Buddy Ryan's old 4-6 schemes with some overload looks. They will confuse offenses with different alignments before the snap.
Team needs
1. Outside linebacker -- In this 3-4 scheme the pressure is expected to come from the outside linebackers, but to Ryan's credit he has done it for years with smoke and mirrors. Can you imagine how much more productive this defense would be with edge pressure to complement its solid cover corners? The only real quality player across this entire front is defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson. With so many needs on both sides of the ball and limited money to spend, the Jets should stay with their only recent recipe for success, which is to continue to build their defense and bring along the offense as fast as possible, which won't be easy. They Jets have almost nothing at this position right now and they need at least one, and possibly two, impact starters.
2. Quarterback -- This position has disaster written all over it and it doesn't look as though there are a lot of easy answers to fix it. Can the Jets live with Mark Sanchez for another year while they fix other areas of this team, or do they bite the bullet now and try a quarterback makeover in 2013? With a sputtering run game and limited passing weapons, the challenge for a productive quarterback position is huge. You would think that the Jets would much prefer finding a quality unrestricted veteran to either compete with Sanchez or replace him, but the financial restraints will make that tough to do.
3. Safety -- The back end of this defense will require some serious attention in free agency and the draft, especially with the Jets now actively shopping Darrelle Revis. The coaches got everything they expected out of veteran starters free safety LaRon Landry and strong safety Yeremiah Bell, but both guys are unrestricted free agents and both could be gone. Bell is 35 years old and near the end of his career and Landry will likely leave for a more lucrative deal than the contract the Jets can offer him.
4. Wide receiver -- This offense has virtually no playmakers for whoever is at quarterback, and the vertical passing game is almost nonexistent. There are names in this unit, but the Jets need a No. 1 speed receiver and none of their current receivers on the outside can create separation.
5. Offensive line -- Two-fifths of the line, center Nick Mangold and left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, is solid, but after that the Jets need youth and depth at either guard or right tackle. This unit is closer to needing a makeover than most people realize.
6. Nose tackle -- Age and injuries have caught up to starter Sione Pouha, and backup Kenrick Ellis failed to impress when he replaced him. This is a key position in this defense and right now the coaches can't count on either player.
-- Gary Horton
Key free-agent move
Victor Butler, LB, UFA
The Jets are in the midst of overhauling their roster and are constricted by a number of poorly constructed contracts that leave them limited in what they can spend this offseason.
Butler isn't a high-profile name, but he's a player ready to make starting contributions after playing behind DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer in Dallas for Rex Ryan's twin brother, Rob.
Butler has good quickness off the edge and was productive in a rotational role down the stretch in 2012, finishing with three sacks and three forced fumbles in the final nine games of the season.
He's just 25 years old and would give the Jets a natural rush player to help build their defense around. Quinton Coples should be improved in his second year, and the Jets will count on the continued development of other youngsters along the defensive front.
There's no shortage of offensive needs for the Jets, but landing a player in Butler who can help bolster a defense that slipped to 20th in points allowed in 2012 would be a feather in the cap of new GM John Idzik.

Skip to comments.100 Year Starship: Nasas plan to colonise galaxy
Posted on 10/29/2010 8:15:56 PM PDT by LibWhacker
Nasa man expects first prototype of a spaceship that will take us between worlds within a few years
The US space agency Nasa has announced an intriguing new project called the 'Hundred Year Starship' which aims to send humans on a one-way trip to newly discovered planets across the galaxy.
"The human space programme is now really aimed at settling other worlds," said Pete Worden, director of Nasa'a Ames research laboratory, at a seminar in San Francisco. "Twenty years ago you had to whisper that in dark bars [or] get fired."
The Ames laboratory is responsible for Pioneer 10, the space probe that is currently hurtling through deep space equipped with a golden plaque describing what humans look like and the location of earth.
But while Pioneer 10 is telling the aliens - some say foolishly - where we are, the Hundred Year Starship mission is saying: 'We're coming to get you.' And the aliens have reason to be frightened: while a mere $100,000 in funding is coming from Nasa, $1 million is being provided by the US government's shadowy defence R&D agency Darpa (home to the legendary 'space bomber').
Darpa confirmed to The First Post that the 100 Year Starship project exists. It will begin as a year-long study which will examine the "business model needed to develop and mature a technology portfolio enabling long-distance manned space flight a century from now".
Paul Eremenko, Darpa's coordinator for the project, said: "The 100 Year Starship study is about more than building a spacecraft or any one specific technology."
"We endeavour to excite several generations to commit to the research and development of breakthrough technologies and cross-cutting innovations across a myriad of disciplines to advance the goal of long-distance space travel, but also to benefit mankind."
Darpa also says it hopes that the advancements achieved in the course of the 100 Year Starship project will have "substantial relevance to Department of Defense mission areas".
However, $1.1m isn't nearly enough to fund such an ambitious project as colonising new worlds and the Ames lab is hoping to attract private funding. Worden says: "We hope to inveigle some billionaires to form a Hundred Year Starship fund."
One of those billionaires could be Google co-founder Larry Page, who has already been interrogating Worden about the price of a mission to Mars - the planet that would very likely be the testing ground for more ambitious colonisation missions beyond the solar system.
Google is well known for funding what some might see as eccentric projects, the most recent example being its driverless car. Worden suggests he is very interested in space exploration: "Larry Page asked me a couple weeks ago how much it would cost to send people one way to Mars and I told him $10 billion, and his response was, 'Can you get it down to one or two billion?'" Worden sees the fact that he is arguing over price - and not feasibility - as progress of sorts.
There is no information as yet about the tricky details of generational space travel. After all, this is no five-year mission 'to boldly go where no man has gone before'. This is a one-way trip to almost certain death among the stars.
Certain questions will have to be answered: questions such as, who on earth would want to go, how do you stop the travellers staging a mutiny and turning the ship back round towards earth, or is it a form of child abuse to bring up offspring in such a claustrophobic environment?
However, Worden's answer to the question of how you live on another world is interesting. Rather than resorting to that mainstay of science fiction, terraforming, whereby an alien world is made suitable for organisms from earth, Worden suggests a solution with some root in science fact: using genetic engineering to adapt earth plants and animals - even humans - to live on Mars.
As for actually reaching alien worlds, Worden is very upbeat. "Within a few years we will see the first true prototype of a spaceship that will take us between worlds," he says. By 2030 there will be colonies on the moons of Mars, Phobos or Deimos. From there human colonists can explore the Red Planet remotely with robots.
Just don't tell them about the infamous Curse of Mars. Almost 50 per cent of missions to the Red Planet have failed.
He's been smoking too much pot.
One of my favorite Sci-Fy authors: Allen Steele, wrote a series of books titled, "Coyote." It's about colonizing a new planet and he does a great job with the books.
No kidding! It has been 40 years since the moon landing and we have Muzzies trying to blow us up on a daily basis.
Is this part of Hussein's Moslem outreach?
Is he planning to colonize the universe for islam?
If I knew that there was a habitable planet at the other end where my progeny would be out of reach of the socialist bastards here (and if I were a much younger man), I would sign up in a heartbeat.
Spaceship? Riiight.
I'm all for it. We gotta get off this rock somehow, some day.
"The Stars are the Styx" by Theodore Sturgeon ping.
"aims to send humans on a one-way trip to newly discovered planets across the galaxy"
Thanks LibWhacker.
I recall reading a science fiction novel that put forth this idea many, many years ago. Can't remember how it ended, but somewhere along the way, the offspring of the many generations born during the voyage forgot what the mission was all about. The whole idea sounds implausible to me.
Waaay too much time on this government goober's hands. Just one minor critique - is it wise, is it even prudent, to risk appearing elsewhere where our "colonists' would possibly be viewed as would savages in a log canoe, waving stone hatchets, and advancing on the Newport News Naval base wearing war paint?
Just wonderin'.
I know when I am getting off this rock. The day Christ returns.
Not exactly. The indians didn't cross the ocean to colonize England. 'Twas the other way round.
I really don't recall. I was quite young when I read it - maybe late teens or early twenties - and this youngster is now seventy-four. That would be fifty-odd years ago. You think Heinlein's novel would be that old?
The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.23 light-years away.
This means that at half the speed of light, it is 8.1 years away.
Voyager I travels at 1/18,000th the speed of light. At this rate, a journey to Proxima Centauri would take it 72,000 years.
NASA: "The human space programme is now really aimed at settling other worlds."
Obama NASA Project To Send Americans To Settle In Muslim Countries
"Outreach is the way to peace," says White House. "We have much to learn."
I heard Glenn Beck talking about this. It seems that Obama
plans to send "disgruntled citizens" to FEMA camps sprinkled among the stars. In the White House, they refer to these poor folks as Twinklers.
Well hey, I'll just pop on a shuttle flight to the moon and look at their scale mock up while I'm on vacation...
Oh, wait. They still haven't managed to get next door much less anywhere in the neighborhood. And, despite what the leeches at the universities state when sucking the blood out of taxpayers, they have to make the venture profitable or it WILL FAIL.
"The closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.23 light-years away."
IIRC, for the last 50 years, the closest star to be considered
to POSSIBLY have planets is 11 light years away, and the newly discover planets of one other star are 22 light years away.
Not to worry, FR's resident space man, Quix, thinks that
"DISCLOSURE" is about to take place.
All of the big world govments know all about them ETs, don'tcha know? The kook to kook crowd says Obammie is gona tell us all about it, and really soon.
Within a few years we will know how to be zippin through them worm holes like greezed lightnin.
With a few click of the heals, and the magic Obammie password, you be on Youranus in a New Yawk minute !!
what would really be funny if they ever did build such a thing.... half way into the trip a new ship would probably catch up with the original one that hadn't even arrived yet :P
This means that at half the speed of light, it is 8.1 years away.
Voyager I travels at 1/18,000th the speed of light. At this rate, a journey to Proxima Centauri would take it 72,000 years.
Thanks for pointing that out.
It SHOULD have been pointed out in post #1 itself, and certainly, no later than post #2. But people seem to batter terms they do not understand, like "universe" when they mean "solar system" or possibly "galaxy."
This galaxy is so large that we can't even see the other side of it. We can't even see into the next spiral arm.
Hell...some astronomers disagree over WHICH spiral arm we are in to begin with!
And every few years, they revise their assessment of the size and shape of our own galaxy. E.g., they only recently declared our Milky Way to be a barred spiral.
The British press throws terms out meaninglessly, without any understanding of what they are saying.
That's the risk of such a long term project. That technology could overcome some of the speed barriers we face. And having waited may prove to be the answer, yet it's a chicken and egg problem. If you don't try, you don't fail, and you don't learn. So if we find a way to travel to a nearby star that has a habital planet, we must go even if the posibilty exists that future technology may make your first attempt seem juvinile and foolish. Won't out great grand children look back at us and say "they had it all wrong". I certainly hope so or we have failed as forefathers.
100 years?? How many years to send this administration into the sun?
From low earth orbit taxi service to galaxy exploration? Yeah...sure.
Or "The Ballad of Beta Two" by Sam Delaney.... similar faith in the ability of a society to function locked up in a can. ;)
Is NASA Covering Up the 100-Year Starship?
Fox News | 10/29/2010 | Fox News

One of my favorite movies!!
In 1970, this was supposed to happen by 2000.
With the damage this regime has done in just the last 2 years, we'd be lucky to make it back to the moon by 2100.
This Wikipedia summary may jog your memory. You may be surprised to see when the two parts were originally written.
Crew me up, up and away.
NASA's way of telling us we are never getting off this rock if NASA has anything to do with it. Next thing you know they will be trying to sell us a bridge in the Oort Cloud.
Where are you going to get to in the galaxy in a hundred years? If you had a spaceship that travels at todays known technological speeds you are going to need to hollow out an astroid, have a reproducing community of travelers with all the accompanying life forms that make life for humans possible, the ability to manufacture fuel from gases and dust collected on the way, and a good set of thrusters to speed you up and eventually speed you down to complete your journey. This group should make it somewhere in about 15 generations if they are lucky. Hopefully they will be able to stay in contact with Earth for much of the time to accelerate technological advances with their ship.
Do you think Jedi Mind Tricks would work on this group?
Definitely! It must be Orphans of the Sky. Heinlein lived from 1907 to 1988, and invented most of the cliches Hollywood uses today (Asimov invented the rest.)
You expect us to believe you would go purely for the benefit of your descendants? Bull!
You're only interested in meeting the exotic, sensuous lithe alien women who whisper seductively, "Tell me more of this human practice called 'kissing' earth man."
Now, now, it's polite to ping a fellow FReeper when you mention him or her.
Even if they believe in aliens.
(I was abducted by aliens once, but when I couldn't speak Spanish, they took my wallet and kicked me out of the car.) Just kidding... ;)
Robert Heinlein's classic Orphans of the Sky

The Brumbies travel to Perth knowing that a big win is a non-negotiable if they are to have any hope of hosting a semi-final.
The Brumbies travel to Perth on Saturday knowing that a big win is a non-negotiable if they are to have any hope of hosting a semi-final.
The Brumbies could still claim a home semi-final – they could even finish top of the table – but will need to claim a bonus-point win over the Force to move above the Bulls.
But even a full house of points might not be enough. If the Chiefs beat the Blues and the Bulls get a single point against the Stormers, the Brumbies will finish third, irrespective of the result at NIB Stadium.
That is highly significant as only one team in Super Rugby history – the Crusaders in 1999 – has won the competition after finishing the regular season outside the top two.
The Brumbies have not not lost to the Force since April 2011, winning four and drawing one of their last five clashes, so Jake Whites troops will rightly back themselves to get the job done. The Brumbies were also convincing 41-7 winners when these teams met in Canberra in Week 11.
The team from Canberra are high on confidence at the moment after becoming the first Australian franchise to beat the British and Irish Lions in 42 years.
Meanwhile, the 13th-placed Force are coming off a lacklustre home loss to a severely understrength Waratahs outfit back in June a few days after conceding 69 points to the touring Lions. The hosts have won just three games all season
Brumbies coach Jake White has wasted no time in bringing his Wallabies guns back into the mix, including all seven who played in last weekend's Test series decider against the British and Irish Lions in his matchday squad with George Smith the only one not in the starting XV.
Likewise, the Force welcome back their Wallaby contingent of Ben McCalman, Hugh McMeniman and Nick Cummins with the latter playing his first game since mid-May.
Prediction: The Brumbies really should have too much firepower for their hosts. The Brumbies to win with a bonus point.
The teams:
Western Force: 15 Jayden Hayward, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Ben Jacobs, 12 Junior Rasolea, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Matt Hodgson (c), 5 Hugh McMeniman, 4 Sam Wykes, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 2 James Hilterbrand, 1 Pek Cowan.
Replacements: 16 Ben Whittaker, 17 Salesi Ma'afu, 18 Toby Lynn, 19 Richard Brown, 20 Brett Sheehan, 21 Sam Norton-Knight, 22 Sam Christie.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Ian Prior, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Colby Faingaa, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Scott Sio.
Replacements:16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 George Smith, 20 Robbie Coleman, 21 Andrew Smith, 22 Mark Swanepoel.
