it's the 1st time i've been able to see the trade federation battleship in a good photo.
ater looking it over, i have to say that the hallmark ornament is a superior one to have.
even if they do release the final sets, the hallmark version (which by the way, is perfect mm scale!) is the control ship complete with all the antennae, as opposed to the battle ship version shown. so it would be a plus to have both versions in your collection!
mawhonics pod racer is too kewel!
come on hasbro! give the people what they want dammit!
bring back micro machines dammit!
what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
I think that Rebelscum have it wrong.
I think that some 14-16's made it out of the factory.
I will hopefully have some info soon to confirm this.
Hmm, from what I've noticed with alot of SW product, unless it's only shown in mock-up form with a non-official cardbacking, it doesn't have a chance of being produced. So most likely they were producing sets before they were canceled. So unless something official is said by Hasbro, basically all we have to go by is they might not have made them and they might have. Though if they got that far, I'd guess that they did make a good sized amount of them.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
. . .but i fear he ain't of course, if some of these do exist out there, that'll likely mean we'll need to laboriously hunt em down one thing i always liked about mms was their Ease- ease of acquisition, ease of affordability, ease of portability, ease of comprehensive coverage of ship design depictions, ease of appreciation, ease of set completion. just plain Easy unlike some who enjoy the difficulties and feel they add to the fun, imo every difficulty added to this hobby of ours chips away at its charm just a bit
Hey guys
In the HIGHLY unlikely event that anybody from Hasbro actually reads threads in the ASK HASBRO section of SSG and cares about what we think, I would appreciate your (moderated) input into the following thread).
Last week I emailed Rebelscum about where the 14-16's came from.
Phillip Wise was kind enough to reply to my email and told me that it was his colleague MARK who had aquired them, but they were expensive and that he had gotten them from an old Hasbro employee.
I therefore re-sent my email to Mark but as yet (nearly one week ago) I have had no response.
I'm a bit miffed at this as it was ME who put Rebelscum onto the fact that the 11-13's existed and even gave a few of them the email address of the seller who they then bought from.
It seems that they will happily take info from us in order to extend their collections, but will not help us "small-time" collectors out.
I would therefore ask you all to email this Mark and see if you have more luck than me.
dear mark,
it has come to my attention via phil wise, that you are the individual who was able to acquire the star wars episode I sets XIV, XV, and XVI displayed on rebelscum site from a hasbro employee.
as the moderator of the micro machines forum section over at sir steves guide, i feel compelled to write to you. as you are well aware, quite a bit of star wars episode I micro machines product has been tooled and shown as retail ready product, yet not released to the retail sector. some of which follows here;
Micro machines collection XIV
Micro machines collection XV
micro machines collection XVI
metal die-cast anakins pod racer
Watto's shop platform action set
swamp invasion platform action set
anakin skywalker podrace test flight transforming action set
pod racing pack V
pod racing pack VI
being a long time collector of all science fiction/fantasy micro machines, as well as enjoy playing with each and everyone of them with my 7 year old son, any help that you might be able to provide with acquiring any of the items listed above, would be greatly appreciated.
i am not sure as to why hasbro bought out galoob, if they had no intention of releasing any of the product line which made galoob so special to so many people. the true joy of micro machines is that they are small, easy to transport and play with, along with not being prohibitly expensive.
i know that there is probably nothing that you can provide or do in helping me out with my quest, but we over at sir steves guide have a long history in helping each other out when it come to micro machines, and if you do know of anyone over at hasbro who can help us out, i'm sure that we would be interested in purchasing enough quantitiy (if an inventory does indeed exist), to help make it worth their while.
all the best

moderator of the micro machines forum for sir steves guide
if i do hear anything, i will of course let everyone know
what's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding
If you two don't succeed, I'll try it. Being as I do work at another SW site that has been in contact with RS lately, I might be able to get Mark's answer. I'll do what I can.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Let's just say that you'd be better off NOT mentioning SSG when dealing with RS folks - we don't carry a lot of weight with their staff.
I wish I had the $$$ to buy stuff like that.

Building a Mosaic of Restoration Projects for the Gulf
Posted On July 19, 2012 by Denny Takahashi Kelso
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster harmed communities from Texas to Florida and damaged the Gulf ecosystem from the ocean floor to the surface across a vast swath of waters and shoreline. Restoring these damaged resources will require a comprehensive, Gulf-wide restoration plan that covers coastal environments, blue-water resources and Gulf communities.
Because wildlife like birds, fish and marine mammals move throughout the ecosystem making use of coastal, nearshore and offshore environments, effective restoration requires a holistic approach. For example, restoration efforts for oyster reefs or barrier islands in Texas should complement the work done in Alabama or in Florida so that the full suite of species and habitats can recover.
The state and federal officials responsible for creating such a plan, the Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) Trustees, are making decisions about how to spend the balance of the $1 billion committed by BP for early restoration. The decisions they make about early restoration and about the longer-term restoration program to follow have the potential to pay enormous dividends to the Gulf for generations.
To help the Trustees build an effective plan, a coalition of nonprofit groups, including Ocean Conservancy, has created a portfolio of 39 projects that reflect an integrated and Gulf-wide approach to restoration. Continue reading »

Orchestra to perform student, faculty works, Dec. 3-4
Posted November 18, 2004; 05:13 p.m.
For the first time in its history, the Princeton University Orchestra will perform a work composed by an undergraduate during concerts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4, in Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall.
"Reflection for Orchestra" was written by 2004 graduate Kiri Murakami as her senior thesis. Murakami was a co-concertmaster of the orchestra and won the concerto competition last year. Her piece, according to conductor Michael Pratt, "warrants special treatment." The orchestra also will perform a work by a member of the music faculty.
Assistant professor Dan Trueman's "Three Pieces for Hardanger Fiddle and Orchestra" will feature the composer as a soloist on a nine-string violin from the Norwegian folk music/dance tradition. Completing the program will be Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastoral."
Tickets are available online through University Ticketing or by calling the Richardson Auditorium box office at (609) 258-5000.

Battle of Chickamauga
September 19-20, 1863
William Rosecrans followed up his successful Tullahoma Campaign with an offensive aimed at forcing the Confederates out of Chattanooga. The three army corps of the Army of the Cumberland split and set out for Chattanooga by separate routes. Clever deception convinced elements of Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee to abandon Chattanooga and, in early September, Rosecrans began to consolidate his scattered troops and head south in pursuit of Bragg's army. Determined to reoccupy Chattanooga, Bragg marched his army north on September 17. After skirmishing with Union cavalry and John T. Wilder's Lightning Brigade—mounted infantry armed with Spencer repeating rifles—Bragg opened the battle in earnest on September 19 by hammering the Union left. Though the Federal line held, Bragg renewed his assault the following day. In the rush to send troops to his embattled left, Rosecrans mistakenly believed he had a gap in his line. The Union commander's efforts to correct the imagined error created real breach, one that was exploited with deadly consequences by James Longstreet's newly arrived corps. Longstreet's attack created paralyzing confusion in the Union ranks, including Rosecrans himself, who was driven from the field with a third of his force. George H. Thomas took over command and began consolidating forces on Horseshoe Ridge and Snodgrass Hill where the Federals repeatedly fought off the Rebels' determined assaults. Darkness soon ended the contest and Thomas then led the remnant of the Army of the Cumberland men from the field. The Union retired to Chattanooga while the Rebels occupied the surrounding heights.

Why am I a master? It must just be longevity I guess. Once upon a time, you might have classfied me as a journeyer maybe. But never a master. I expect something is broken somewhere.
As update: in the past 2 years I've done very little with free software or gimp (my free software project of choice). Before then it was occasional contributions as I felt the need or desire.
What I have done for "the community":
- Been a semi-regular on #gimp
- Made a #gimp themed magnetic fridge with javascript and CSS.
- Occasional gimp tutorials, generally perl themed.
- Failed in attempting to port gtk-perl to Gtk2, or gimp to use the new Gtk2 module.
- Remembered my password to Advogato.
What I've done for me:
- Got engaged.
- Got a house, dog. See engaged.
- Have a nifty car - Audi '00 S4. Fun at the track, and on the road.
- Become much more familiar with lots of microprocessors, compiler guts, nifty ways of debugging embedded programs, language lawyering in C/C++, debugging on a variety of different embedded OSes (NOT linux of any flavor) and generally understanding development at a lower level than the general populous of programmers.
- Got mentioned in Perl Development by Wrox press; a gimp-perl script of mine was modified for use in there.
- Tried to keep learning new stuff on the piano. Monk is my facination of the moment, though I usually swap between Beethoven/Debussy/etc, pop stuff, and it.

Burglars staking out neighborhoods posing as meter readers
SPOKANE, Wash. - Burglars are trying more and more to blend into the background, and one way they're trying to dupe local residents is to dress up like meter readers working for local power companies.
The idea is to pretend he's reading meters when he's actually staking out a neighborhood looking to find the right home to break into.
The security cameras went up at Darrel Core's Hillyard home after he suffered three different burglaries. When he noticed these fresh tracks in his backyard he went to the video for some answers.Meter reader burglar
"I thought he was a utility worker and it looks like he's going to my gas meter or water meter to check it," Core said.
However what the fake utility worker is really doing is going home to home looking and listening for the right home to break into.
"That somebody is checking around the houses and looking for places to break in. He's dressed as if he belongs there and people don't give him a second look," Core said.
Avista officials say they've had several reports of fake meter readers and outfit their employees with special clothing and identification to make them more recognizable.
"Our Avista meter readers are outfitted in these lime green vests and will have either hoodie sweatshirts or long sleeves shirts and they all have Avista logo prominently displayed on them," Jessie Wuerst with Avista said.
If you challenge a meter reader and they can't or won't show you their picture ID, go back in the house and call 911.
Meanwhile, recent snowfall has made it easier for burglars to figure out who's away for the holidays. Unshoveled cars and walkways make your home the best bet on the block for a break-in
"They're looking for an easy target. We've talked about things like keeping your driveways shoveled. People can see if you're coming and going as far as vehicles from the garage. If you have a foot of snow and it hasn't been shoveled. It's going to be a sign," Spokane Police Sergeant Jason Hartman said.
That's where you come in. If you know your neighbors are gone for a few days, put a couple of tire tracks in their driveway or some footprints up to their mailbox and you can keep the whole block safer.

Priest Lake Land Dispute Going To Supreme Court
PRIEST LAKE, Idaho - A battle on the banks of Priest Lake in North Idaho has reached the Supreme Court. A couple is taking on the Environmental Protection Agency over six-tenths of an acre they bought for a home, but the EPA says it's protected under the Clean Water Act.
Mike and Chantell Sackett testified Wednesday at a forum in Washington D.C. ahead of their Supreme Court case scheduled for this winter.
The couple has been twisted in a lawsuit with the EPA since 2005. They purchased the land, surrounded by homes and equipped with a sewer system, and obtained a permit from Bonner County to begin building their dream home.
They couple had begun the process of preparing the land for foundation when the EPA stepped in.
?Three officials showed up and ordered work to stop with no credentials or anything in writing telling us what we were doing was wrong,? Mike Sackett said.
The EPA informed the Sacketts that the land they were building on was a wetland and protected by the clean water act.
Mike argued that there wasn't any water there, not even a seasonal stream, but the EPA persisted in stopping them from building. The Sacketts hired an engineer, a soil scientist and wetland expert and all concluded their land was not a wetland.
The news didn't phase the EPA, so Mike checked into the EPA records on wetlands and found their database did not list their land as a wetland.
?The EPA stated the wetlands inventory is not always correct, this is our federal government,? Mike said, which was met with laughter.
The six-year battle has rattled the couple who say the financial burden has threatened to shut down their construction business.
?Bullying, that's what the EPA does, they came into our life, took our property, put is in limbo, told us we can't do anything with it, and then threatened us with fines,? Chantell Sackett said.
The EPA slapped the couple with a $36,000-per-day fine for not complying with their demands. The total has reached over $40 million to date.
The two will get their day in court this winter, thanks to the help of Idaho Senators Mike Crapo, Jim Risch and Raul Labrador, who all took a special interest in the Sacketts.
?This is what happens when an over-zealous federal agency would rather force compliance than give any consideration to private property rights, individual rights, basic decency or common sense,? Crapo told the Sacketts.
?It?s stunning to hear this kind of action is happening right here in America,? said Risch. ?It is critical that Americans understand that federal bureaucrats have gone well beyond their authority to keep our air and water clean. The legislative branch must reclaim its constitutional right to legislate and stop these abuses.?
"Listening to the Sackett family tell their story today to Members of Congress was eye-opening," said Labrador. "Hearing their firsthand experience with a bullying federal agency that seems to be above the law is frustrating. I am hopeful that the Supreme Court will stand with them, and with the concept of due process enshrined in the Constitution to remind an overreaching bureaucracy that no agency, no matter how big, can run roughshod over the principles of law and order. I am optimistic that the Supreme Court will find that the EPA does not have the power to victimize private citizens as they have with the Sacketts."
The couple says their request is simple ? they want to build their dream home at their dream location as they intended. Their battle with the EPA is their way of making sure no other property owner has to go through what they have.
?We believe property owners have a constitutional right to have their day in court and the EPA has to be subject to the rule of the law,? Mike said.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – There's no mistaking the depth of joy for D.T. Shackelford. It bubbles over.
Shackelford is trying to regain the strength and speed that made him a candidate for All-SEC honors as an Ole Miss linebacker.
There also was no mistaking the pain Shackel-ford felt two years ago. It was in April of 2011 that he went down in spring practice. He knew the injury was serious and pounded the turf with his fist in frustration.
Two knee surgeries and two painful rehabs would follow.
Now Shackelford believes he's almost there. He, his teammates and coaches talk about his physical level of play as the Rebels go through spring drills.
The message we're hearing is that it's about the mental part – learning a new defense that he wasn't part of for the 2012 season – that is Shackelford's last hurdle.
There's another hurdle, though. It's game-day speed. It's different than practice, and try as coaches might, it's awfully hard to simulate.
It's a different type of speed and quickness, and it's what helped make Shackelford so successful for two seasons. He made the All-SEC freshman team in 2009 and was among the team leaders in sacks, pressures and tackles for loss in 2010.
For Shackelford, game day speed means SEC speed in the opener Aug. 29 at Vanderbilt. No easing in with an FCS opponent.
'Great leader'
Even in his absence from the field, Shackelford has been around the program. He's constantly referenced as an important part as an emotional leader. In fact, the first two words in his bio in the 2012 media guide are "great leader."
It's always good to have leaders, but the most effective leaders are the ones with fiery eyes, dripping with sweat because they've just made a big play.
Players follow other players who make plays.
Ole Miss averaged 2.92 sacks last season, 11th in the nation and second in the SEC. There's always room for more pressure on the quarterback.
What Shackel-ford is attempting is rare. Former Auburn defensive back Aairon Savage was a sixth-year senior when he made the two-year comeback in 2010. He played in seven games and totaled 37 tackles with one tackle for loss.
Ole Miss teammates expect more than that in Shackelford's return.
"Too have another player who can come in and make big-time plays … when one leader comes out, another leader comes in. Nobody misses a step," sophomore linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche said.
Most of the heavy lifting is done, and Shackelford is gaining confidence this spring.
If he gets to the quarterback on a humid August night in Nashville, another milestone will be achieved.
Then joy will grow and spread throughout the program.
Parrish Alford (firstname.lastname@example.com) covers Ole Miss for the Journal. He blogs daily at InsideOleMissSports.com.

-- CEO, Concerned Women for America
-- Says that gay youth are "probably troubled kids in a number of ways."
-- On the "It Gets Better" national ad campaign: "Apparently, American Idol, with the help of Woody from Disney's Toy Story, thinks that my 4th grader needs to be fully aware of the plight of teens who view themselves as 'gay…Fox blew it last night...They lured us into a false sense of security and broke trust with us last night."
-- Signed on to an effort that seeks God's "healing for those who struggle with same-sex attraction" and to "replace unnatural affections"
-- Says "if Christians respond to "gay marriage" apathetically, then we are ignoring the basic tenets of our faith and allowing the wholesale destruction of our society's moral foundation."
-- Directly compares same-sex marriage to marijuana, prostitution, etc: "[W]hen the law rewards something through licensing or benefits, there is always increased activity. Legalization of vices is never a concrete solution. We have seen these effects when marijuana, abortion, sex trafficking, and other immoralities were legalized in our neighboring countries. Specifically, a case study in Germany, which legalized prostitution in 2002, reveals that the amount of sex trafficking victims in the country has risen 70 percent in the last seven years. The Netherlands, believing that the legalization of prostitution as a profitable business would decrease the amount of children sex trafficked, has since seen a 300 percent increase in child prostitution."
-- Says of marriage equality activists: "Those who persist in forcing their preferred redefinition of marriage on the country by rule of law stand squarely against everything on which this country was founded - most notably against the freedom of religion, which they argue should be suppressed whenever it interferes with their newly discovered constitutional 'right' to homosexual 'marriage.'"

Not sure what I consider worse in ths thread: the number of people who want to second-guess or psychoanalyse the actions of a man they have never met; the number of people whom extrapolate the circumstances of this case and use it to pass comment on religion, suicide, mnetal illness or any other thinly related topic of their choice; the number of people whom feel no pangs of remorse in making tasteless 'jokes' about such a tragic occurrence.
Class guys. Pure class.
This is a horrible situation. It's tragic, awful and sad. But it doesn't mean that it's wrong to speculate on motive. For which, if there is no history of abuse then to me this story wreaks of infidelity, not insanity or brain damage. It's probably the most common motive for crimes of this type (even has a handy little name "crime of passion"). Odds are either she was cheating/cheated on him (or he thought she was) and he killed her out of jealousy/anger, OR, he was cheating/cheated on her (or she thought he was) and she was going to leave him, probably taking their newborn child, which he couldn't live with.
I could be wrong but jealousy DOES make some people do extremely irrational things, so I think her cheating on him is a more likely scenario.
its really ticking me off seeing all of the coverage making it out to be the loss of this chiefs player such a tragedy.
the only tragedy in my opinion here is that a young lady lost her life at the age of ****ing 25 years old and left a 3 month old baby an orphan because of this prick.
this guy did what unfortunately i here on the news way too often. commit a murder and then try to end it so he does not need to face the consequences.
a little over a month ago here in New York, this nanny, who had been the nanny for over a year, was left home with 2 of the children in the appt, and the mother comes home and finds her 2 little children stabbed to death, and this nanny tried to kill herself ( luckily she was a failure in doing so, because now she will have to suffer hopefully)
this is no different in terms of the act. someone commits an awful crime and then trys to end it.
i have absolutely no sympathy that this douche-bag is dead, the only people i feel for is that a woman was senselessly murdered and now a 3 month old little girl is left an orphan. that is what everyone should be mourning about, this guy is a murderer, can people please stop crying for this guy.( not saying this site specifically, just in the media in general)
this is not like sean taylor a couple years back where he was killed in his own home in the middle of the night, this dude here is a ****ing murderer. i do not mourn the death of murderers.
Of coarse playing the game was the right thing to do...it was a no brainer.......Coach Crennell is all pro in my book...Wow!

Westwood's U-2 connection
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 03/18/10
In his decades-long quest to learn about his father's life and honor his legacy, Francis Gary Powers Jr. has made a career out of piecing together puzzles.
Only recently, with the help of a Henrico native, did a giant piece of the puzzle – a shadowy, vaguely-alluded-to "Richmond connection" – drop into place.
The son of the famed U-2 pilot was at the Virginia Historical Society March 10 to lead a gallery walk through an exhibit of memorabilia from his father's life and career. The exhibit, on display through May, includes mementos from the senior Powers' early years in Southwest Virginia, a fragment from the U-2 plane in which he was shot down on May 1,1960, photos from his trial and keepsakes from his captivity in a Russian prison.
The exhibit also contains a display of letters addressed to 6103 West Club Lane in Henrico – souvenirs of a relationship that Powers' son discovered last spring after a puzzling call from Rosaanne Speranza.
Pausing to introduce Speranza to the gallery crowd, Powers told them he first heard of her when she left a message saying, "You don't know me, but my father paid for your grandparents to go to Russia for your father's trial."
The news came as a surprise, since Powers had always heard that Life magazine paid for the flight to Russia in return for exclusive rights to the story. Having seen pictures taken by Life photographers, Powers never had reason to doubt the story – until Speranza came into his life.
Headlines hit home
Today a resident of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Speranza grew up in the house on West Club Lane – the first house in the neighborhood -- and her parents owned the Westwood Supper Club. Vincent ("Jimmy") Speranza, the only one of his 13 siblings to leave Italy for the States, ran the club from 1935-1950.
A junior in high school in 1960, Speranza can remember her father's reaction when the news broke that a U.S. pilot had been shot down over Russia, and that he had family in Pound, Virginia.
"My father felt the pain of being separated from family," recalls Speranza, "because the rest of his family was in Italy. He said, 'If that was my son, I would want to be with him.'"
Hoping to help and also to avoid publicity, Jimmy Speranza contacted his close friend and confidante Wilmer Hedrick, the chief of police in Henrico. Hedrick and John Leard, a fellow club member and editor of Richmond Newspapers, assisted him in the effort to reach Norton shoemaker Oliver Powers. The correspondence that ensued grew into a long friendship between the Speranza and Powers family.
"Every time [the Powers] would travel to meet with someone at the State Department," says Rosaanne, "they'd stay at our house."
It was not until after her mother's death in January 2009 (Jimmy had passed in 1965) that Rosaanne had a chance to pore over the letters and gain an understanding of just how close the two couples had been.
"[The letters from Oliver Powers] start out, 'Dear Mr. Speranza,'" says Rosanne. "Then it's 'Dear Mr. and Mrs. Speranza and daughter,' then it's 'Dear Jimmy and Alice and Rosaanne.'
"I didn't realize till I sat down and read them – this is a wonderful evolution of a friendship."
'They're yours!'
While considering what to do with the letters, Speranza remembered that the Powers had had a son. A friend tracked down the Midlothian resident on the internet, and Speranza left the message on Powers' voice mail.
"I knew he was thinking, 'Who is this person? Is this a Looney-Tunes?'," Speranza recalls. Unaware that Powers was traveling, she waited 10 days for a response, then called again. This time she connected, and Powers listened politely – if somewhat skeptically – while she described the letters.
"Then he says to me," recalls Speranza, "'You can do three things: sell them on e-Bay, donate them to a museum – or give them to me.'
"I said, 'Hands down, they're yours!'"
She and Powers made plans to meet last May, while she was in town for her mother's memorial celebration at The Westwood Club.
Once Powers saw the envelopes, all skepticism dissolved. He read each letter aloud -- from notes written on receipt forms from the Norton City Shoe Shop, to letters informing the Speranzas that the Powerses would show photos and film from the trial.
There were also newspaper clippings about Jimmy Speranza's efforts (eventually made public) to encourage Oliver Powers to fly to Moscow and meet with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. One clipping, entitled "Powers' Father Writes Red," describes Powers' hopes for a heart-to-heart with Khrushchev -- "one father to another."
Eye-opening rewards
For Powers, who was five when Oliver Powers died (and 12 when his father died), the glimpse into his grandparents' lives has been both eye-opening and rewarding. He added the letters to the traveling exhibit of the Cold War Museum, which he founded in 1996 after a trip retracing his father's journey through Russia and his release in a prisoner exchange. This year, the letters should find a permanent home when ground is broken for the museum building in Fauquier County.
What's more, the discovery of the letters has cemented a new Powers-Speranza friendship.
The day after the gallery walk at VHS, Powers and Speranza met at the Westwood Club, where she visited with old friend Ada Evans – a Westwood employee since Speranza's teen-age years. Over lunch, Speranza and Powers reminisced about their families, and about the Westwood in its heyday.
During World War II, when the ban on using gasoline for pleasure trips could have shut down the club, Jimmy Speranza bought a railroad car flatbed, outfitted it with wheels, and devised a horse-drawn trolley to get diners to and from the last streetcar stop at Hamilton and Broad.
The Westwood Supper Club was also a popular spot for dances during the era, and the site from which Harvey Hudson (a frequent guest at the Speranza dinner table) made a remote broadcast on his very first assignment for WRVA.
Even then, her father was legendary for his generosity and compassion, said Speranza. He threw parties for families of the band members who played at the club, and in 1944 he brought in 100 soldiers from Ft. Lee for a free Christmas dinner at Westwood -- "which included a can of beer," she says with a laugh.
And although Oliver Powers tried at least three times to repay the cost of his plane fare, Jimmy Speranza always tore up the check.
So as the 50th anniversary of the U-2 Incident draws near, along with the long-awaited establishment of a museum home, Gary Powers is thankful as well for the appearance of Rosaanne Speranza in his life.
"It's been a pleasure, a surprise and a delight," he says of the encounter. "We've become good friends; we've bonded. It's nice to know people out there are good-hearted and do things for the right reasons."
"Thank you," he says to her, "for opening a chapter of my family history."
Once again, they share laughs about the way it all started: with Powers getting a mysterious call from "a crazy lady."
"It's a badge," says Speranza with a smile, "I will proudly wear."
A second gallery walk with Francis Gary Powers, Jr., may take place at the Virginia Historical Society at a date to be announced in April. For information about the gallery walk or exhibit, visit vahistorical.org. For information about Powers and the Cold War Museum, visit coldwar.org.

New conservation easement creates wooded buffer for Bryan Park
Citizen Staff Reports 04/21/2017 Features
Five years ago, members of the Friends of Bryan Park were facing the apparently inevitable development of the Shirley subdivision in Henrico, adjacent to the forested section of the park near the Nature Center and Environmental Education Area.
As part of the Shirley subdivision, the land had been divided into 14 lots in 1924, but had remained mostly undisturbed through the decades. In 2012, however, developers proposed building 40 modular houses on roughly 6.5 acres, clear-cutting the forest there and creating a highly dense neighborhood tucked into a dead end. > Read more.

Virginia will elect a new governor this year.
The governor's position is one of great power and influence, as the current officeholder, Terry McAuliffe, has demonstrated by breaking the record for most vetoes in Virginia history.
However, during the last gubernatorial race in 2014, the voter turnout was less than 42 percent, compared with 72 percent during last year's presidential election. > Read more.

Exhibition looks at world through students' 'international eye'
Posted March 12, 2009; 09:00 a.m.
An exhibition of photographs from around the globe taken by Princeton undergraduates will be on view in three residential colleges this spring. "International Eye" showcases students' participation in international study, internships, service and research.
The exhibition is on display weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through March 31 in the Firestone Lounge of Rockefeller College. (A companion exhibition of photos taken by Mathey College students while abroad is hanging in the Mathey Common Room during the same time). It also will be on view in April in the Wilcox Hall Commons of Wilson College and in May in the Guggenheim Gallery of Whitman College.
The exhibition was created through an international photo contest sponsored by the Office of International Programs this past fall. Thirty-nine photographs were selected from close to 500 submissions snapped in 64 countries by students concentrating in 25 departments. Many of the experiences were funded by Princeton programs and departments.
"Over the past several years, Princeton has seen an increase in the number of students studying and working abroad," said Nancy Kanach, senior associate dean and director of the Office of International Programs. "We are excited to have this opportunity to celebrate the talents of the students whose photographs bring home to us the richness and diversity of the world beyond Princeton's gates. We are inspired by their sense of adventure and by their perspective on the world."
Undergraduates were asked to submit photos that told a story about their time abroad or lent a fresh perspective on the monuments, cityscapes and landscapes they encountered. First and second prizes were awarded in four categories -- cityscape/architecture, abstraction, landscape/nature and people. Another 31 images received honorable mention.
Photographer and filmmaker Andrew Moore, lecturer in visual arts in the Lewis Center for the Arts, selected the winning photographs with assistance from Giorgio DiMauro, associate director of the Study Abroad Program, and Martina Anderson, communications and outreach coordinator in the Office of International Programs.
"Selecting the winners was difficult, but it was fun and genuinely interesting," said DiMauro. "You get caught up in the students' evident excitement and curiosity. The contest invites students to think about other countries not as destinations, but as places of shared human experience. A person's hand on a ferry in Vietnam, a richly patterned ceiling in Poland -- these scenes communicate the mixture of day-to-day familiarity and wonder that comes with spending extended periods exploring new places."
Junior Noah Arjomand, a Wilson School major, won "Best in Show" and first place in the landscape/nature category for his photo "A Plague of Locusts," taken near Karliova in the Bingol Province of eastern Turkey, where he was conducting research. He explained the scene in this way: "The summer of 2008 was the hottest in memory, creating conditions on the normally cool grazing grounds of a nomadic Kurdish family that were conducive to a locust swarm. Locusts devoured much of the pasture, forcing the family to sell approximately 300 head of sheep, half their flock."
Junior Noah Arjomand, a Woodrow Wilson School major, won Best in Show and First Place in the landscape/nature category for his photo "A Plague of Locusts," taken near Karliova in the Bingol Province of eastern Turkey, where he was conducting research. Other top winners were:
Sophomore Catherine Clark, a mechanical and aerospace engineering major, won first place in the abstraction category for "Ha Long Bay, Vietnam." The image shows the hand and leg of a boat driver on the bay.
• Sophomore Catherine Clark for "Ha Long Bay, Vietnam" (first prize, abstraction)
• Senior Alexander Metelitsa, for "Women Drinking Tea in Registan Square, Samarkand, Uzbekistan" (first prize, people)
• Senior Veneka Chagwedera, for "Conformity," Hong Kong, China (first prize, architecture/cityscape)
• Junior Henry Barmeier, for "Las Salineras de Maras," Maras, Peru (second prize, landscape/nature)
• Senior Abigail Ludwig, for "Dune 45," Soussevlei, Namibia (second prize, abstraction)
• Senior Susan Lyon, for "Franz Cartwheels Down a Dune," Sossusvlei, Namib Desert, Namibia (second prize, people)
• Junior Kaitlyn Hay: "The City of St. Anthony," Padua, Italy (second prize, architecture/cityscape).
Organizers plan for the contest to become an annual event. All of the winning photos may be viewed in an online gallery on the Office of International Programs website.
"Women Drinking Tea in Registan Square, Samarkand, Uzbekistan" won first prize in the people category for Alexander Metelitsa, a senior politics major.

Hello everyone,
Just got home from a three day hunt in Ky. I wasn't sure how much hunting I could do, as I struggle climbing even a simple hill. But I figured I'd hunt some valley log roads and be a cheerleader for my buddies. Well my local friend down there took me to an area with some rolling fields and a couple old log roads to walk. In one of them we caught a group of last spring's Jakes in the field and we were able to get into the woods behind them. A couple hard gobblers clucks followed with a pair of course yelps and they broke and run right into 20 yards from us. I picked out the biggest to shoot, but he stopped behind a tree then all of a sudden spooked and flew, so I pulled over on the next clear bird and dropped him(in my condition I wasn't about to be picky).
I have had a good year, that makes 6 gobblers in two states for me in 2009. I got one more gun tag left for Ky and I'll probably go down for the December season and try to fill it, but I can't shoot anymore gobblers. so a nice plump poult would be in trouble.
Attached is a picture.
PS The beer can is not mine, i never noticed it untl now...LOL

Word 'tax' a hurdle for PPT reform ballot proposal
Ballot proposal language can be confusing. And when it involves taxes, the voters' inclination is often to just vote "no." If for no other reason, the "no" vote means they will not accidently vote for a tax increase.
But a ballot proposal to create the funding stream for local communities following the repeal of Michigan's industrial personal property tax is not a tax increase.
If you keep in mind only this one point, then that is what supporters want you to remember, aside from voting "yes" on the proposal on the Aug. 5 primary ballot.
The problem facing the campaign supporters is that the wording of the proposal, written by state lawmakers, includes the words "tax" or "taxes" eight times. It also doesn't include the phrase "personal property tax," which is what those familiar with the issue most associate the proposal. The state revenue being lost with the phase-out of the PPT is to be covered with a redirection of the use tax, expiring tax credits, and a special assessment that only manufacturers receiving a PPT reduction pay.
With no organized opposition to the ballot proposal, it's just the inclination to vote "no" that supporters have to combat. The Michigan Citizens for Strong and Safe Communities — the group of business, labor and community organizations supporting the ballot measure — has raised more than $5.6 million, according to campaign finance statements filed with the state last month.
That money will be used to fund direct mail pieces and cable television ad buys in support of the ballot measure, and voters could soon begin to see those ads.
That is important, because in a typical August primary, between 40 and 44 percent of the votes are cast in the form of absentee ballots, said Kelly Rossman-McKinney, CEO and principal of strategies communications firm Truscott Rossman, who is working on behalf of the coalition.
There are about 700 members in the coalition, she said. And those organizations and businesses began last week sending out email blasts to their members and employees to inform them on the issue.
This campaign will be much different than a typical statewide ballot measure, Rossman-McKinney said, because in order for it to be successful, voters will have to see and hear from their local officials and local business owners about the positives of removing the double taxation on businesses.
Having local police and fire chiefs explain to voters in their community that they will not lose out on any revenue from the repeal of the tax will go much further than having some well-known figure to whom voters have no connection — and may not trust — make that case.
So the coalition is doing a lot of grass-roots work, and talking with local chambers of commerce to help spread the message. They also are working on ways to target senior citizens, since about 50 percent of primary voters are age 65 and older.
While primary voters are seen as more committed voters than in a general election, having to vote on a statewide ballot measure is still something rare for them, also adding to the uphill climb the coalition faces.
Not since 2002 has there been such a proposal on an August primary ballot, and that year, there were two of them.
One was to allow the Natural Resources Trust Fund to invest in the stock market. The second was to have lawmakers vote to approve any pay increases for themselves.
Both of those measures passed.
Ballot measures in general elections don't always fare as well. In November 2012, all five constitutional amendments on the state ballot were defeated. The PPT replacement tax system proposal does not amend the constitution, something voters have proven leery of doing.
This November, there could be as many as eight statewide ballot measures. Supporters are hoping the decision to have this measure go it alone in August will improve its chances.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Resumés
Dear Alibi,
Recently, great levels of attention have been focused upon the possible placement of Tesla Motor's first "gigafactory" within the boundaries of New Mexico. Galvanized by the excitement surrounding the decision, I decided to make a mental list of all of the facets that would look attractive to the company—after some time, a very meager list developed. It was actually much easier to delineate the reasons placement of a Tesla factory in any town, village, Pueblo or stretch of barren wasteland within the state is highly unlikely. Anyone having lived any amount of time within these borders will possess ample anecdotal and statistical substantiation for such pessimism. Poverty, substandard education and lack of a skilled workforce are a few of the reasons any functional company would look elsewhere. Then, of course, there two interrelated issues more prominent than the typical socioeconomic and demographic impediments for their pernicious impact to this state, and deserving of the most malicious criticisms possible—nepotism and cronyism.
Having not been born and reared in the Land of Enchantment, I was astonished with the ubiquitous acceptance of antiquated familial and acquaintance-based hiring practices. Hiring practices that exist not just in private business, but also in the publicly funded institutions the state is so dependent upon for tax revenue. Where one would assume knowledge, skills and abilities determine the most appropriate candidate for a position or promotion, the primary criteria is family and social connections. If, while filling out an application, you encounter questions on whether or not a family member currently works within the organization, and logically suppose they are asked to prevent a conflict of interest, you would be wrong. Someone reviewing a directory of employees at a research lab noticing a significant number of staff sharing the same last name and suspect coincidence would be incorrect. In New Mexico, business meetings and family reunions are indistinguishable.
Economically, such pervasive nepotism and cronyism is debilitating. One could justifiably juxtapose the state of "red or green?" with that of a developing country where extreme income inequality, reduced skill levels, unexpressed creativity and low productivity are representative of preferential treatment of kin. The paucity of meritocracy exacerbates inefficient use of resources, placement of under-skilled and inexperienced individuals into positions ill-suited to their knowledge base, and the migration of skilled individuals from the state who possess the passion and knowledge befitting those positions.
Such cultural norms illustrated within New Mexico generate an environment dismissive of outsiders and unwilling to adapt. Hopes to attract the skilled and creative to the state will be met with perpetual disappointment. The pervasiveness of inept job placement will continue to degrade the quality of the workforce and New Mexico's chances of economic diversification and growth. Needed is a thorough public examination of nepotism and cronyism in government, which is an unlikely initiative as many in government benefit from such favoritism, which solidifies its continuation.
The New Mexico economic model is ravaged by illness and plagued with ineptitudes. Such disillusionment is my catalyst to search for more fruitful and enlightened lands, where hard work and whetted skills are an asset—not my cousin's uncle's nephew's brother-in-law.

Frontlines of Marijuana Reform
Dear Alibi,
I strongly support legalizing marijuana. Booze, cigarettes and prescription drugs kill millions worldwide every year, but I know of no one killed from using only marijuana.
In the 1970s I took some tokes offered me, but I have never bought, never sold, never grown marijuana in my life.
If I had a disease where my only choices were a prescription drug or medical marijuana, I would choose marijuana—no question. Eating it raw or vaporizing it is healthier than smoking it.
More than 4,000 years ago, a leading Chinese doctor recommended marijuana for many of the same sicknesses doctors now prescribe it. Marijuana has [at least] 75 unique healing ingredients not found in any other plant. Marijuana is the single most versatile herbal remedy on Earth. No other plant contains as wide a range of healing herbal ingredients.
Marijuana can help cancer, PTSD, chronic pain, nausea, inflammation, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's and other dementia, immunity, appetite, glaucoma, Lou Gehrig's disease, peripheral neuropathy, anorexia, hepatitis C, Crohn's disease, insomnia, arthritis, epilepsy, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and hospice patients.
I damn the racist US drug war devastating low-income communities of color. Far more African-American and Latino youth, percentage-wise, get locked up for marijuana than Anglo youth, even though rates of use are about the same. US hysteria against marijuana was rooted for decades in racism against Mexicanos and African-Americans and also in the greed of timber, petrochemical and drug companies.
The last three US presidents—Clinton, Bush and Obama—all admitted to past use of marijuana. All three later were re-elected. If they had grown up low income or non-white in the inner city, they all might have lived in prison instead of the White House and in some states, never have been allowed to vote for president [again for] the rest of their lives—let alone become president!
Until marijuana is legal in New Mexico, I refuse to risk arrest, court, fines and jail for myself or for whomever would sell marijuana to me—if I were to use marijuana without being approved for medical marijuana. I refuse to make my life more secretive and to increase my fear of police.
Buying imported, illegal marijuana from Mexico pays for the drug gangs to mass murder thousands of people in Mexico.
Except for the serious legal risks, I would infinitely prefer friends using their own homegrown, organic marijuana instead of smoking any cigarettes or drinking any booze.
I highly recommend these books—Marijuana Gateway to Health by Clint Werner, The Great Book of Hemp by Rowan Robinson and The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander.
—Don Schrader

Visiting Assistant Professor, Russian Studies
Focuses on 20th-century Russian culture, queer theory, disability and affect studies.
Neill Hall 207
Telephone: 651-696-6556
Anastasia Kayiatos, assistant professor, joins Macalester from UC Berkeley by way of a postdoc at the University of Southern California. She looks forward to infusing her Russian Studies courses with some unusual disciplinary suspects, like queer theory and disability studies. This fall she is teaching Minding the Body (with Joan Ostrove) and The Cold War Gets Hot. Next semester she is excited to debut an elective course in Critical Theory on the cross-cultural making of modern bad taste.
Education: B.A. in Russian Literature, Reed College (2002); Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Literatures with a Designated Emphasis on Women, Gender and Sexuality, University of California, Berkeley (2012).
Areas of Interest: Her primary field of study is twentieth-century Russia, with an emphasis on artistic and political (counter) cultures after Stalin. Her intersectional research and teaching interests concern gender, sexuality, and the body in Russia from the nineteenth century to the very hairy Putinist present. She has a fully developed second field in transnational queer and feminist theory, and specializations in Deaf and disability studies and affect studies.
Publications: Prof. Kayiatos has published selections from her interdisciplinary dissertation on silence, alterity and the politics of voice in post-Stalin Russia in Women's Studies Quarterly and Theatre Survey (in English), The Journal of Social Policy Studies (in Russian), and Astrolabio (in Spanish). The new Lambda Nordica special issue on sexualities in transition contains her essay, "Shock and Alla: Capitalist Cures for Socialist Perversities at the End of the Twentieth Century."
Current Projects: As she toils away for a while on a book manuscript about silent performances of sexual difference in the Soviet Union--tentatively titled Suggestive Gestures: Toward a Queer Socialist Aesthetic--Prof. Kayiatos derives more incremental pleasures from short-term projects, including a collaborative article on the queer viral politics of Pussy Riot; a queer/crip/performance studies piece on the specificity of late-Soviet "play"; and a volume of conference proceedings from Worlds of Wonder: The Queerness of Childhood, with Professor Anna Fishzon.
Personal: When not drinking copious amounts of coffee and reading, writing or grading student work, Anastasia can be found walking or bicycling around town (say hello!), sifting through dusty stuff at thrift stores and garage sales, and buying more records...against her better interests as a lifestyle apartment renter.

Alternate name: Eastern Wahoo, Euonymus
Family: Celastraceae, Staff Tree view all from this family
Description Eastern wahoo is a large, clumping, deciduous shrub which can develop into a small tree, 20-25 ft. tall. Twigs are lime-green and bordered by corky lines. Leaves are the same lime-green, turning red in fall. Small purple flowers are succeeded by showy fruits. The crimson pods split in mid-autumn to reveal scarlet-coated seeds which hang on far into winter.
Warning Members of this species may have toxic alkaloids in their leaves, stems or roots. Although poisoning is not commonly recorded, this plant should not be ingested. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Canyons & valleys, Watersides (fresh).
Range Great Lakes, Southeast, Texas, Eastern Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Florida, Plains, Rocky Mountains, New England.
Comments Though quite shade-tolerant, this shrub does well in full sun. It is somewhat naturalized in the New York. Plants are susceptible to Euonymus scale and crown gall, and need protection from deer and rabbits. Root suckers may be pulled off if a single-stemmed tree is desired.
Exposure Preference Partial shade to shade.
Native Distribution Ontario to s. Michigan, Minnesota & North Dakota, s. to Florida & e. Texas
Site Preference Floodplains; stream banks; moist woods
Soil Preference Fertile, moist soils. pH 6.6-7.5.
Wildlife Value Rabbit and deer browse. Birds eat the fruits only for emergency ration.

24 Minetta Lane | 212.933.1824 | perlanyc
by Craig Cavallo
You know the restaurant is Italian, but that's only because this town can gossip. Inside, exposed brick and wooden rafters are the only hints at rustic Italian. There is not a stitch of red, white, or green in the dining room at Perla and it leaves Chef Michael Toscano's food to do the significant talking.
Perla is restaurateur Gabe Stulman's fourth installment in what has become known as his Little Wisco Empire. If you happen to get a seat at the bar here you can enjoy some of the city's better Italian preparations at what proves to be another stage for the production of Brian Bartels' cocktails. One of these has been dubbed Tombstone Sunday Night's, a bourbon based drink with Amaro Montenegro and a homemade pepperoni bitters. It is a stirred version of that Sunday night when the only friends you could get to come over are a pepperoni pizza and a six pack.
The drink suggests Perla may not take itself too seriously, but on a separate visit, scrawled in chalk on the wall behind the chef's counter, which seats ten and allows a view into the mouth of Perla's wood burning oven, was the addition of a whole roasted lamb head ($38). It stands as the piece de resistance, and should you inquire as to its preparation, the knowledgeable staff will enthusiastically oblige. It is served with caramelized fennel, lemon yogurt, and salsa verde, but not before it's poached and eventually finished in the wood oven. If you're wondering what happens to the brain, it's mixed with a fresh, full fat cow's milk cheese from Northern Italy called Robiolina.
Should you decide on the lamb head, it will come after antipasti and primi. The antipasti are where this Robiolina makes its first appearance, accompanying lobster and caviar ($19). The dish sounds good on paper but when it is all dressed with a tart, leek vinaigrette it has a hard time coming together. The cheese is simply too rich, it muted the sweet, delicate flavor that lobster loves to show off, and the caviar was applied with too tight a hand.
Getting Blue Prawns ($15) flown in from Hawaii is a crazy idea, but it makes complete sense when you taste them with browned butter over a smear of yogurt after they have been finished in a wood oven. When they arrive at the table you are encouraged to suck the head and the ensuing action looks and sounds like a cut from a Dario Argento film. If crustaceans were ever a campfire food, this is exactly what they would taste like.
Chef Toscano uses the menu's primi section to show he is no stranger to fresh pastas. He was the Executive Chef at Manzo, Eataly's flagship restaurant, when it opened in August of 2010. Before his stint at Manzo, he earned his stripes at Babbo, working alongside longtime Executive Chef Frank Langello. Orecchiette with prosciutto and ramp pesto ($15) is a seasonal take on the classic "little ears" pasta traditionally served with sausage and broccoli rabe. Spaghetti carbonara is on offer in the form of cavatelli incatenati ($12). Incatenati means "imprisoned" and explains the tight sauce, made from guanciale, pecorino, and egg, that bear hugs the ribbed cavatelli. It's a truly harmonious dish, rich and hearty, but once the chunks of guanciale render their fat they become tough nuggets of pork that could be avoided if they were first sliced instead of cubed.
The use of an entire lamb's head is an homage to Italian peasantry and this head-to-tail philosophy continues to run through the secondi portion of the menu. Should you decide on the pork loin ($29), it will include shoulder and belly from the same animal. Your lamb entree ($30) will feature both saddle and breast. There is a classic NY Strip ($35) to appease parents visiting from out of town, and a charred beef tongue ($24) is available for their hip, city dwelling offspring.
The food is flirting with perfection in the fourth act of Gabe Stulman's Little Wisco Play. His dining room is another slick setting for the execution of his vision. Framed Bugatti and Leonetto Cappiello posters have been replaced with close-up portraits of rappers, and should you happen to use the bathroom, you will be watched over by a photo of Atlanta's Dungeon Family. The food, the service, and the beverage program are all in cahoots with the photos and the playlist that sounds like a mixtape blasting from a Honda Civic in Bed-Stuy in the 90′s. They remind us that Perla is very far from being just another link in a chain of Italian restaurants here in the city.

Kenan to read from Katrina work, April 25
Posted April 19, 2007; 05:17 p.m.
Author Randall Kenan, whose works focus on sexuality, class, race, religion and the American South, will read from new essays inspired by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina at 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, in the Chancellor Green Rotunda.
Kenan will read from "The Fire This Time," a book of essays that will be published in May. In the wake of Katrina, Kenan invokes James Baldwin's book of the civil rights movement, "The Fire Next Time," to ask how much progress has been made toward overcoming what Baldwin called America's "racial nightmare."
Kenan's other works include the novel "A Visitation of Spirits," the story collection "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead" and the documentary book "Walking on Water: Black American Lives at the Turn of the 21st Century." He is an associate professor of English at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and a frequent essayist on issues such as class, religion, being a gay African American and the failing perception that America has conquered racism.
The reading is sponsored by the Department of English, Center for African American Studies, University Center for Human Values, Program in Creative Writing and Council of the Humanities.
