Atlantis Blasts Off for NASA's Final Space Shuttle Mission

Space shuttle Atlantis blasted off at 11:29 a.m.
Space shuttle Atlantis launched today, marking the final mission and complete retirement of
Space Shuttle fleet.
Atlantis is the last of three remaining operational orbiters in NASA's Space Shuttle fleet. In February 2011,
Space Shuttle Discovery
was the first of the three to launch on its final mission after nearly 30 years of space travel. Then, in April 2011,
Space Shuttle Endeavour
was set to launch, but was delayed due to a broken set of heaters. It took off on its final mission in mid May instead.
Now, NASA's Space Shuttle fleet will be three-for-three as Atlantis
blasts into orbit
for its last mission as well.
Space Shuttle Atlantis first flew into space on mission STS-51-J in October 1985. It has completed 32 missions, spent 293 days in space, carried 191 crews and has traveled 120,650,907 miles. Atlantis is the only orbiter that cannot draw power from the
International Space Station
while docked there. Instead, it must provide its own power for fuel cells.
Today marks
Atlantis' 33rd and final mission
, STS-135. It will be a 12-day mission to the International Space Station with the purpose of delivering supplies and spare parts, which will be contained in the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module.
Atlantis mission STS-135 carries a crew of four, including Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim.
"That is the most beautiful vehicle we've had to fly in space, ever, and it's going to be a long time until you see a vehicle roll out to the pad that looks as beautiful as that," said Walheim. "How can you beat that? An airplane on the side of a rocket. It's absolutely stunning."
Space shuttle Atlantis took off at 11:29 a.m. ET from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. While some reports noted that weather could be obstacle possibly causing a delay, the astronauts started boarding Atlantis around 8:00 a.m. and the hatch was closed around 9:21 a.m. for flight.
Reports have estimated
that the crowd gathered in the area to see the launch ranged from 500,000 to 1 million people.

Electronic trading is becoming more and more prevalent not just in the equities world but across the board – fixed income, derivatives, and foreign exchange markets are witnessing similar trends. Furthermore, direct market access has also increased the volume of trades that have to be processed, especially around market close. Such trends necessitate an ultra-low-latency data infrastructure that can distribute the required information instantaneously to the different systems of a trading platform. Guaranteeing a low level of latency is also critical for trade executions at favorable price points, especially post-decimalization, when liquidity at specific price points has dropped significantly.
Characterized by high-performance data access, real-time analytics of market data streams, and data distribution capabilities, the GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric can not only improve the throughput of an electronic trading platform but also provides reliable mechanisms to replicate and persist order/trade data for failover to guarantee a non-stop trading environment. The GemFire Trading Reference Architecture offers a quick and easy approach for firms to implement such a data platform within 90 days. Click here to learn more about it.
Such an infrastructure is highly critical to support complex analytics – pre-trade and post-trade – that rely on extremely fast data access. GemFire's real-time analytics and streaming data management capabilities enable analysis of market data on a continuous basis to drive profitable trading. Similar benefits can also be reaped in pricing workflow and analytics in foreign exchange and derivative markets.
The hardest data management problems in the world?

By Michael Aneiro
Early this year the high-yield market's average yield made a rare, brief foray below the 7% barrier, which had reliably held up throughout market history as a floor for yields before investors stopped buying. Then yields reliably rose. But in May it happened again. And then all of a sudden yields fell below 7% in August and have stayed there for months.
So new and abnormal is the "new normal" of bond investing in today's zero-rate world that the average junk bond yield is now within a Ben Bernanke beard hair's breadth of crossing below the 6% threshold, which just a few months ago (and forever before that) would have been unthinkable. The average yield on the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High-Yield Master II Index, a widely followed benchmark, fell to 6.012% at day-end Tuesday. The same average yield began the year at 8.24%.
That decline in yield accompanied a rise in price from 98.1 cents on the dollar to a current record-high 104.5 cents on the dollar, above the key call-constrained 103-cent level that's also served as a reliable historical limit – until this year.

Southwestern Professors Win Prestigious Writing Award
Professor Warren Grimes and Professor Emeritus Lawrence Sullivan have been named winners of the Fifth Annual Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award for their treatise, The Law Of Antitrust: An Integrated Handbook. They will be presented with this honor at the meeting of the American Antitrust Institute at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on June 21.
The treatise was initially published in 1999 and is now in its second edition (2006). It is widely used by law students and practitioners both in the United States and abroad, offering a comprehensive treatment of rules, principles, and issues relating to antitrust law to meet the needs of both students and practitioners. In the second edition, Professors Sullivan and Grimes cover new areas, treat a number of areas more fully, and thoroughly reassess core concepts like monopolization and horizontal and vertical restraints.
"I'm proud and very pleased to receive this honor," Professor Sullivan said. "And I had a great co-author."
The award recipient(s) must meet several standards. Articles, books, or monographs considered for the prize have to be published within 12 months of the selection and should: "reflect a concern for the principles of economic justice, the dispersal of economic power, the maintenance of effective limitations upon economic power or the federal statutes designed to protect society from various forms of anticompetitive activity." Past honorees have included authors and scholars from Princeton, Boston, Columbia, and Yale Universities.
Board of Trustees members of the Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Charitable Trust select a six-person committee to determine the winner each year. This year's committee includes: Professor John J. Flynn, Hugh B. Brown Professor of Law, College of Law, University of Utah; Professor Eleanor Fox, New York University; Charles P. Goodwin, Esq., Berger & Montague, Philadelphia; Michael Mirarchi, Esq., Fine Kaplan & Black, Philadelphia; Professor Steven Salop, Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, D.C.; Daniel A. Small, Cohen, Milstein Hausfeld & Toll, Washington, D.C.; and Ann C. Yahner, Esq., formerly with Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll, now an Administrative Law Judge for the District of Columbia.
"The selection committee is made up of distinguished antitrust professors and antitrust practitioners," Professor Grimes said. "To be selected by this group is indeed an honor. But neither the treatise nor its wide recognition could have happened without the seminal work of Larry Sullivan. Larry's original 1977 treatise has been cited frequently by the Supreme Court and was the foundation and the inspiration for our collaborative work."
This award is named for Jerry S. Cohen, an attorney, who practiced as a lifelong advocate of economic justice and co-authored the best-selling books America, Inc. and Power, Inc. Cohen was a founding partner in the law firm of Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld & Toll of Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago and Philadelphia. Throughout his career, he specialized in private enforcement of antitrust laws and other measures to protect consumers and was a principal founder of the Committee to Support the Antitrust Laws.
"It's a wonderful acknowledgment of the outstanding quality of research being produced by our nationally recognized scholars," said Michael Dorff, Associate Dean for Research at Southwestern. "Professors Grimes and Sullivan are inspiring role models for our talented and highly productive junior faculty."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is just awesome and an incredibly useful site. Thank you for sharing this link.
Thank you for this link.
I get so many people who tell me they have a queen or king size quilt. Yet I know that while my idea of what a queen or king measures and their idea may be something else.
As in most things in quilting - there are few rules and no quilt police.

Good information for me (a beginning quilter). Thanks.
thank you
Thanks for finding this and sharing with us.
Thank you very much Craftybear, for that helpful site.
Well, I just spent over 30 minutes on her site and I wonder why I don't get any quilting done. Lot's of very easy/quick quilts. Thanks for sharing, Craftybear. You always find neat things to point us to.
By the way, the math is helpful but I think those who are match challenged will always find those who can "figure it out". I can typically figure something like that out and my friends will call me with those same questions. However, they would much rather I give them the answer rather than show them how to do it so they can calculate it themself for future questions.

Your search for "OLR27" returned 8 siRNAs
olfactory receptor 27
Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.

The fuel surcharge will be added to the passenger's cabin costs, not to exceed $30 per passenger and must be paid in full by January 4, 2014 in order to board the ship for Jam Cruise 12. All passengers will be notified via email if such a fuel surcharge will be added to the cost of your cabin. If such a fee is imposed, the credit card on file for the primary passenger will be charged.
While on board, all alcoholic and soft drinks (not including tea, coffee & juices) will be charged to your Sign & Sail card. Upon check-in, you will establish credit for your Sign & Sail card using a Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express. You must either put down a credit card or you may open a Sign & Sail card with a $200 cash deposit.

A lot of work goes into each one of these figures from all sorts of areas, everywhere from packaging to sculpt to accessories is taken into consideration. Some fans are drawn to the line because of the likenesses while others are most impressed by the look of the packaging or the dynamic poses, some are even into the 3¾" figures because of their small accessories. With which one trait do you think Hasbro consistantly shows their best work?

Family: Arecaceae, Palm view all from this family
Description An evergreen monocot from 9-15 m. (30-50 ft.) in height and 0.3-0.6 m. (1-2 ft.) in diameter. Crown a rosette of large leaves, supported by a columnar trunk. Trunk smooth, gray. Unburned trunks are covered by a mass of pendent dead leaves called a shag or skirt. Outer trunk tissue consists of a thick, barklike rind. Flowers May and June. Leaves die at the end summer growing season, remaining attached to the trunk. Fruits ripen in September, and seeds ripen and drop from November to January. Fruit a drupe containing a single large seed. Roots variously described in literature as shallow or deep; depth varies with depth of the water table, with palms growing near seeps and springs having the more shallow root systems. Determining exact age difficult because tree-ring counts cannot be made on monocots. Maximum age attained estimated to be 200 years. Mature trees typically live about 150 years. California palm can withstand about 22 hours of subfreezing temperature.
Dimensions Height: 6-18 m. (20-60 ft.)
Diameter: 0.6-0.9 m. (2-3 ft.).
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Deserts, Mountains.
Range Florida, Southwest, California.
Discussion Only palm native to the contiguous United States west of the Balcones Fault Zone in Texas. (except isolated stands of Sabal minor in Texas Hill Country.) Seeds disseminated primarily by the coyote. Coyote often transport seeds over considerable distances. Many animals live in close association with California palm. Amphibians; the canyon tree frog, Pacific tree frog frequent the hydric zone and nearby boulders beneath palms. Various rodents use the shag for cover. A species of rat snake (Elaphe rosalica) depends upon the shag for shelter and food (rodents). Oases attract numerous species of birds because of the relative abundance of food, shelter, and nesting sites as compared to open desert. Hooded orioles use fibers as nesting material, often constructing nests within the palms. Gray fox and various birds and rodents eat the fruit, and the fruit is the main component in the fall diet of coyote.

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. The airways are the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways are inflamed (swollen). The inflammation makes the airways very sensitive, and they tend to react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When the airways react, they get narrower, and less air flows through to your lung tissue. This causes symptoms like wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing, especially at night and in the early morning.

In outlining the changed landscape in the Middle East, Benoit Challand points out that potential crises, such as in Syria or Iran, could give regional governments an excuse to halt an already slow process of democratization.
Can you give a general overview of the Arab Spring, one year later?
Over a year later, the dissatisfaction on the ground is still very vivid, especially in Egypt and Yemen. No one is lured into believing things have changed because of the departure of their president and they still expect a lot of reform in the political and economic structures of their countries. Even in Tunisia, people still expect economic changes, despite a successful election of the constitutional assembly.
On the international level, it seems that, after the Libyan victory, things have stalled: the Syrian rebels face enormous difficulties in uniting their ranks against Bashar al-Assad, while the potential crisis with Iran could deal a serious blow to the people's aspiration to change peacefully their political system. Yet the momentum remains, by and large, with the people: their expectations, especially that of the youth and new activists, remain with calls for a better redistribution of resources, real access to justice, and equal rights.
Let's say we are in a watershed period: things can go one way or another. If we have something happening in Iran, such as an attack from Israel into Iran, this will cause mayhem again in the Middle East. We'd return to the Middle East as a region ridden with conflict. This would completely shut the door on the prospect for more democratic change. We shouldn't forget that the existence of so many violent conflicts in the past has given an excuse for autocratic regimes to stay in power, to defend against "external threats." If there are any regional conflicts that explode now, it will give an excuse for those autocratic and military regimes reassert their hold and their power, even in countries where the revolts have been successful.

Three-Month Retreat - Part 1 (42 days)
September 10 – October 22, 2013 (Tuesday to Tuesday)
Registration for this retreat is closed
This retreat is full with a small wait list.
All scholarship funds have been awarded.
This six-week partial of the three-month course is a special time for practice. Because of its extended length and ongoing guidance, it is an opportunity for students to deepen the powers of concentration, wisdom and compassion. Based on the meditation instructions of Mahasi Sayadaw and supplemented by a range of skillful means, this retreat will encourage a balanced attitude of relaxation and alertness, and the continuity of practice based on the Buddha's Four Foundations of Mindfulness.
The teachers will be assisted by Bonnie Duran and Alexis Santos.
Prerequisite is two retreats of a week or more with a recognized insight meditation teacher, or special permission. Please document this experience, including teachers' names, dates and length of courses when registering, and answer additional questions specifically for this longer-term retreat. Your course participation cannot be confirmed until your information is received and approved.
Special cancellation fees and deadlines apply: up to July 17, 2013, $100; afterwards $250. Please note that these amounts will apply even if you wish to move from any part of the course to another.
Thanks to a significant grant from the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation For American Buddhism and generous support from our community, people of color who might not otherwise afford the cost can establish their own course fee, at or above $15 per day (a total of at least $630 for this retreat). February 2013 Update: Due to overwhelming demand, all funds for this opportunity have been used. If you still wish to apply, we will place you on a wait list for funding to attend Part 2 only, since there are currently no spaces left in either Part 1 or the full Three-Month Retreat. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to request this.

huh? An entry from enigma?
- Well, it's about time! Thanks to uzi and yosh, I was able to get the account name I wanted, which had been abandoned by someone long ago. Granted, that was months ago. Thanks to them both ;)
So why now? I have done something :) I finally started my own LUG! I have been planning it since the beginning of the year and just got the website launched this month. It probably won't actually get going (with meetings and all) until the end of the month. You should be able to get to #pclug on irc.pclug.org by the time you read this, many thanks to hacker for that!
I decided to start the LUG when I was having trouble finding Linux users in the area. I finally stumbled upon Chico State's Linux User Group and started attending meetings down in Chico. The meetings have been becoming more active there (although it doesn't show on the website) and I have met a good group of people. I had almost given up on pclug. Eventually I met a couple of guys up here that inspired me to get it going. I am hoping it will be a good thing for the community up here, but only time will tell. I plan to contribute as much as I can in the way of educating new users about Linux and free software, maybe even start some regular training sessions... we'll see.
What else?
- In other news, I have been doing odd consulting jobs here and there. The most interesting of them is a school that has decided to go without Windows. They are strictly Linux (Debian ;) and OS X, so I have been getting my hands dirty with OS X. I created my first bootable OS X CD today but have not had a chance to play with it much. I still prefer my Linux boxes to OS X, but getting root on a Mac is kind of cool ;) So, if you know of some cool educational projects to further entice schools into free software, please drop me a note.
Launching the website for pclug brought me more into the web space than I had been before. Finally, I have PHP and MySQL running on one of my servers. I have built a couple such websites recently, but my DocBook based website keeps calling my name. I have some ideas that I am hoping to explore more by the end of the year. Learning a little about PHP and MySQL has shown me some possibilities that I had only guessed about before. I am really interested in developing some database solutions, but have resisted the urge thus far. If time permits, it is inevitable...


text: Who would love to see, in tribute to the original "Cantina Four", Momaw Nadon and Takeel 12" figures? And since these guys ship in threes, and Ponda Boba was well made, why not give us a Greedo rerelease with better hands! The head looks incredible on the original but the hands look like they are for a "Star Wars The Animated Series" figure. Kind of puts you in the mind of those early Star Wars daily newspaper strips. Very cartoony. I know more than a couple of people who've wanted a 12" scale "Hammerhead" for years. "Snaggletooth" would just make a nice addition to round out the lot. Plus we'd have our first large scale hunchback figure. Come on Hasbro, what do you say?

I continue to be amazed at the number of cabinet card images that were produced by the Brown family who eventually settled in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. Many of the families are written up in Chandler's History of New Hampshire and/or Lyford's History of the Town of Canterbury, books in my possession that belonged to previous generations.
In this post I'll feature images of two sisters, daughters of Joseph Brown (son of my 2nd great grandparents, Herman and Sophronia (Prescott) Brown. Joseph Aaron Brown was born 8 May, 1831, probably in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and died 13 July 1908 in Manchester, New Hampshire. Joseph A. married Lucy Davis, 8 February 1854, and the couple had six known children. [1] On the 2nd of June 1860, the family was enumerated in the 6th ward of Nashua, New Hampshire, where Joseph was described as a "pedlar." [2] The family was still in 6th Ward of Nashua in 1870 where he was a dry goods peddler. He apparently did very well at his trade because he was enumerated with real estate valued at $3,500 and a personal estate valued at $1,000. [3]. By 1880, Lucy had passed away and Joseph had moved to Manchester where he was a stable keeper at 197 Lowell Street. [4] In 1900, Joseph was residing South Beech Street in the 10th Ward of Manchester.[5]
Joseph's two daughters were Ella Gertrude (called Gertrude), born 22 July 1860 in Nashua, and Grace M, born 10 May 1875 in Manchester.[6]

Our Log Bar Trainer is designed to simulate the log bar movement that you see in the strongman contests. It has parallel grip handles which have been found to be effective for a variety of uses, some of which were discussed in Maximum Bob Whelan's column in Hardgainer magazine. GREAT FOR BENCH PRESSING! PARALLEL GRIP REVOLUTION: Many of our customers have found standard bench pressing is too hard on their shoulders as they age. Now they are able to bench again, using a parallel grip log bar trainer! This WILL fit in any Bench Press or Squat Rack that holds a 2 inch diameter bar. Approximate weight is 68 pounds. It takes only Olympic, 2" hole diameter, plates and does not have revolving ends. This is a COMMERCIAL GRADE item that we are trying to keep in stock. We typically have no more than a couple at a time. If we are backordered, we will let you know, but re-stocking takes no more than 6 weeks. If we have a run come off the line faster than that, we will ship it. img src="http://atomicathletic.com/store/images/products/Log Bar Trainer 2.jpg" We have updated our Log Bar Trainer so that it is heavier duty, has better knurling and more closely replicates a classic wooden log with a 10 Inch Diameter. With our exclusive NEW design, we can do CUSTOM handles in 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2" and 2 3/4" diameters. Remember, our standard stocking size is 1 1/4". All CUSTOM pieces are made to order and NOT stocked. Call us at (419)352-5100 for pricing and details. Don't worry. We have not turned this into one of those wrist breaking, forearm slicing pipes...

Steven Squyres, a principal investigator on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Project, will discuss that mission during the 2005 Evnin Lecture at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 20, in Reynolds Auditorium, McDonnell Hall.
Squyres, also the Goldwin Smith Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University, has participated in a number of NASA's planetary spaceflight missions. Currently, he leads a team of some 170 people at NASA and is responsible for the scientific activities of the Opportunity and Spirit rovers.
The mobile robots landed on Mars in January 2004 and completed their three-month primary missions in April of that year. Since then, they have surprised even their designers with how well they continue operating. Earlier this month, NASA approved up to 18 more months of operations for the rovers, which have made major discoveries about ancient watery environments on Mars that might have harbored life.
The lecture is presented by the Council on Science and Technology.

Former K-1 Fighter Hong Man Choi Booked for Assaulting Woman in Korea
- Written by Dave Walsh
Former K-1 and DREAM fighter Hong Man Choi (Choi Hong-Man in Korea) has apparently found himself in some legal trouble this week after a report came out that he purportedly assaulted her in his bar on October 8th while arguing over a bill. The woman claims that Choi had overcharged her and began to argue with Choi over the sum on the bill, which then escalated into a heated argument and ended with Choi punching her in the head. She waited until the next day and posted the complaint against Choi on an internet police portal.
Police have questioned Choi, who admitted that there was an argument with the female customer. The customer then began hurling insults at the former K-1 fighter before he claimed he could not take the abuse anymore and that he "pushed her just a little bit."
Choi regrets pushing the woman, but insists that if she continues to claim that he punched her that he will pursue legal action of his own against the slander. He is so insistent that he only shoved her and didn't punch her that he has gone as far as to claim he'll retire from K-1 if he is lying. [source]

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:25 PM GMT on April 23, 2011
A violent EF-4 tornado ripped through St. Louis near 8pm local time Friday night, severely damaging Lambert International Airport. The airport, the world's 30th busiest, may be closed for several days. The tornado ripped off the roof from Concourse C, blew out more than half of the windows in the main terminal, and moved an aircraft that was parked at a gate twenty feet. So far, only minor injuries due to flying glass have been reported from the tornado. The tornado also passed over nearby residential areas, causing severe damage. The National Weather Service office in St. Louis has rated the damage from the St. Louis tornado EF-4, making the twister the first violent EF-4 tornado of the year. Softball-sized hail also pelted three towns in Missouri--Hermann, Big Spring, and Warrenton--during Friday night's severe weather outbreak. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 24 tornado reports Friday in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky. The cold front responsible for triggering last night's severe weather will remain draped over the nation's mid-section for the next three days, and a slight risk of severe weather is predicted along a swath from Texas to Ohio both Saturday and Sunday. A more substantial risk of severe weather is likely on Tuesday through Wednesday, as a new, more powerful spring storm system gathers strength over the Midwest.
Figure 1. Radar reflectivity image of the EF-4 St. Louis tornado taken near 8pm local time on Friday, April 22, 2010. This image is from the high-resolution Terminal Doppler Radar (TDR) at the St. Louis Airport, and shows very fine details of the tornado, which displays a classic hook echo here.
Figure 2. Radar Doppler velocity image of the St. Louis tornado taken near 8pm local time on Friday, April 22, 2010. This image is from the high-resolution Terminal Doppler Radar (TDR) at the St. Louis Airport, located at the "+" sign on the image. Green colors denote areas where precipitation is moving towards the radar, and red and yellow colors show where precipitation is moving away from the radar. Pink colors are bad data regions. The small couplet of greens right next to reds is where the tornado was, since the tight vortex had winds moving towards the radar and away from the radar. The area marked "RFD" shows where a Rear-Flank Downdraft (RFD) was occurring behind the tornado. The downdraft hit the ground to the west of the radar site and spread out in all directions, creating a diverging area of winds moving both towards and away from the radar. An area of air flowing into the tornado on the SE side is marked "Inflow." Thanks go to Dr. Rob Carver, wunderground's tornado expert, for annotating this image.

Directed by Kate Davis, the cast includes Jonathan Liedl as Aslan, Hannah Gatton as the White Witch, Anthony Ly as Peter, Madison Welte as Susan, Jack Friday as Edmund, Mercedes Engren as Lucy, Chuck Heuberger as Mr. Tumnus, Craig and Julie Friday as Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, Sophia Drake as the Unicorn, Trevor Kile as the Centaur, Eddie Bind as Fenris Ulf, Cole Kaneski as the Queen's Dwarf, Emma Fitch as the White Stag, Peter Herzog as Father Christmas and Lisa Schumacher as his Elf.
Other cast members include Kira Moses, Brianna Aase, Brady Davis, Caleb Davis, Noah Joque, Marjorie Harris, Patricia Harris, Rylie Young, Emily Espeseth, Hannah Kostecka, Joe Binda and Danielle Rollins as members of the Queen's Army.
Aslans' followers are Shayna Schmidt, Grace Bonfig, Amelia Davis, Anna Sechser, Gianna Sechser, Amber Hidde and Ashlynn Reynolds.

Drew Brees Talks Playoff Chances, Lake Charles' New Walk-On's Franchise [Video]
Subscribe to 97.3 The Dawg on
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will be in Lake Charles soon as he and his partners prepare to open a new Walk On's franchise. He took a moment to chat with Gator 99.5's Kris and Emily in the Morning to not only tell people what they can expect from the restaurant, but how Brees got involved in it.
He said that when he first went to the Walk On's on Poydras Street in New Orleans, he thought, "you know what — if I were ever to start my own sports bar, this is exactly what it would be." Brees and his wife, Brittany, became co-owners of the brand in May of this year. The company is expecting to expand into Texas in the next year or so. The Lake Charles location will be the fifth location statewide — including Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Houma and Lafayette.
The couple's restaurant holdings also include Jimmy John's franchises and co-ownership in Happy's Irish Pub.
He also takes a moment to talk about how the team is recuperating during a bye week before meeting the Houston Texans on Nov. 29. Mostly, Brees said the "banged up" team mostly needs the week just to get healthy.
"Here we are, 10 weeks in the season. You know, we're 4-6, which is not, honestly, the record that, I think, we aspired to at this point. And yet, you know, we still have a chance. Each game is just — it's so valuable."
Looking ahead, Brees gave credit to Houston's defense, citing that they've only given up one touchdown in their last nine quarters. "They're playing extremely well right now," he noted. He said the two teams were similar in that they've both been searching for an identity in the early part of the season.
He also briefly addressed the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, noting "We all loved Rob, and I mean, that's just part of our business sometimes is when things like that happen — with players and coaches."

Scored a Target Clone!
My buddy moved down near Allentown recently and has been making trips back to get stuff from storage. Anyhow he mentioned he was stopping at the Target down there before heading up, so I asked him to looked.
Said he found the last one! Wife said the the same thing so I doubt he was saying for dramatic effect.
I told him, you either find it when they are putting them out or there arfent any left at all.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Haven't been to the site in a bit and read your post - I have two backwaters and the only thing I would have cautioned would be to get them in 2 piece, not three piece. The three piece rods are too stiff - the two piece rods are totally different and much nicer rods IMO. Glad you got the rod you wanted - buyers remorse has a way of creeping in and you would probably always wished you had purchased the DFR. Hope you enjoy the rod and you land many larger 'schoolies'.
|Congrats Fred! The DFR is a great rod, and leave it to a woman to remind us that some things are penny wise but pound foolish. We should always buy the best, right dear? }>
|Went down to pick up my fixed All American (about a week and a half turnaround) and buy a new rod. Hem'd and haw'd and bought the Backwater. Got home and my wife asked "why didn't you get the rod you wanted". Well I don't need much prodding, so I called Scott at the Bears Den and said I'd be right back. Got a deal on the 10 wt. DFR, AL reel and Clear 444SL.
Jeff - The Backwater is available in a 3 piece. The wieght of the 9 wt, 2 piece is 4 oz which was surprising, the three piece 4.5 oz.
Juro - I agree with your criteria. I'm a flogging wader so I need something thats going to be kind to my shoulder.
Marvin - For me that DFR is a sweet rod to cast. I wonder about durability but with the Redington warrenty I would not hesitate to buy, but I'll have to re-start my smoke cessation motivational fund in order to buy one.
The Backwater really impressed me and I think I'm going to pick one up. Only decision is whether to go with the two or three piece. I cast a two piece. I figure with only one ferrule chances of the apparent weakness with this rod are reduced, I think. I'll try the 3 pc before buying.
Brian Casey - Didn't you recently have a problem with your Backwater? Any insights?
Thanks for the feedback,
Fred A.
|Can't speak to the casting qualitiies of the DFR, as I only own the "regular" 4-pc. TSRs, but I can say that Redington's warranty program is nothing short of exceptional. Having had the misfortune of breaking a tip on the beach last season, it was delightful to walk into a Redington dealer (and not the one I bought the rod from) with a broken rod and walk out five minutes later with a new one.
From shore - for every fish, there are hundreds of casts and for every cow there are dozens of schoolies. Therefore the numbers would indicate that the order of precedence would be:
a) best casting
b) best fighting
c) all the rest - durability, warranty, looks, etc
That being said, the number of 30-40" class fish has gone way up this year and I fish hard currents more than ever so I am eyeballing a bigger stick for the rips myself.
Still, my criteria is the same: best casting first, BUT with the additional stoutness for big fish in the rips.
note: I hate stiff blanks. I've owned my share, they don't let the rod cast the line - they make you do all the work. Personal pref, some really like broomstick rods.
Not to sound like a broken record but the two-handed solution seems so obvious...
If you get a chance check out the new for 2001 Sage VPS 4-pc travel 10wt. I haven't cast one yet but it's high on my list.
IMHO - the stiffness of the rod plays the biggest role in the 'end game' the last portion of the fight. When the fish is out there you can use the butt of the rod to bring them in, it's the last part of the fight in tight where the stiffness through the blank plays a part. I am not sure if that's worth the poor casting qualities for me, in fact I know it's not. The alternative is a blank that distributes load throughout with some stoutness to it, but not stiffly. It's a good compromise between the optimized casting designs and the broomsticks. I am still looking...
I like the Diamondbacks. A little heavier than more expensive rods but for the money, I don't think they can be beat.
I'm getting tired of 2 piece rods though, do they have 3 or 4 piece rods now?
As far as service, when I broke my 8 weight last year, they just sent me a whole new rod & tube. I think the turnaround was 2 weeks. Can't complain, I think it would be faster if you asked them to speed it up. I've found Cortlands customer service to be very responsive.
Shopping For A Rod
Well I suffered momentary brain cramps Saturday and broke the tip on my Diamondback All-American. Dropped it off at the Bears Den this afternoon and, as expected, it'll take two to three weeks to turn around the repair. While this rod has been more than servicable I have felt undergunned lately, so I have been thinking of getting a ten weight or a nine weight with more backbone for awhile. While at the Bears Den, Scott rigged up several rods to try. Additionally, last fall I tried a 10 wt. RPLXi and a 10 wt. Redington DFR. I'll offer my impressions (keep in mind I'm a relative neophyte) and ask for comments.
Personal Criteria:
1. Of the tactile pleasures in flyfishing the rare occasions when I find my casting stroke is key. Kind of akin to finding your stroke with a jump shot in basketball or with a cue in pool. I want a rod that enhances that pleasure.
2. I have felt undergunned when fishing in big water and when trying to turn the larger "schoolies" I've been catchin this year. Would like something with more backbone.
At my present skill level these two criteria seem to be contrary. Of the rods I test cast, one stood out and a second impressed, especially considering price. But these are first impressions. It would be nice to spend some time on the water.
The rods:
I liked the RPLXi 10 wt but it seemed a bit big in terms of weight and feel. Guess I'm looking for something that feels more like a nine wt.
The 10 wt DFR was an instant hit with me. Very tactile. I guess the action is what you call progressive. Also lighter than most nine wts.
The nine wt Stu Apte Diamondback is a real stick. Beautiful finish. I tried it with a ten wt. line. I'm not ready for this one.
Very fast - not very tactile for the neophyte.
St Croiux Ultra Legend 10 wt. did little to stand out for me. Its ok.
The Sage DS2 10 weight I could live with, very tactile, but it probably does not offer much more in backbone than what I have now.
The Diamondback Backwater 9 wt. Based on the breakage problems I'd heard about, I wasn't thinking about this rod. Scott didn't feel this was an issue based on his experience and the number of returns. This rod seems to fit me like a glove. If I'd stayed off the butts I would have enough in my fishing fund for the DFR, but I think I can be happy with the Backwater
Comments anybody?

TUPELO – There should be a warning sign posted outside Tupelo High's gym that reads: Deeper Wave This Year.
Tupelo, led by Antonio Green with 12 points and Isaiah Traylor with 11, used a lethal balanced scoring attack Tuesday to defeat New Albany 72-55 in a non-division game.
The Golden Wave (17-10) saw 12 players score against the visiting Bulldogs.
"There's not a lot of difference in some of our players," Golden Wave first-year head coach Jeff Norwood said. "I'm trying to play a lot of them more. I think that's our best chance of being successful at the end of the year."
Tupelo used two runs to build large leads in the first half. The last one was a 14-4 spurt that began with a Green 3-pointer and ended on a 3-pointer by Traylor. The final trey gave the Golden Wave a 38-22 halftime advantage.
New Albany (14-12) got 13 points from point guard Eric Chaney in the first half. He was held scoreless in the second half.
The Golden Wave opened the second half like to closed the first, scoring from the perimeter – back-to-back Traylor 3s early on – and on the inside – buckets in the paint by Green, Tristan Upchurch and Alex Foster.
Tupelo took a 54-36 lead into the fourth quarter.
"I challenged them to come out and play harder than we had played in the first half," Norwood said. "Sometimes we don't play as smart as we need, but I think if we play hard, and use our numbers, we have a chance to win."
Bernard Spight added 10 points for New Albany.
Tupelo closes its regular season Friday at Corinth. The Golden Wave and Lady Wave will play South Panola on Tuesday in the semifinals of the Division 2-6A tournament in Batesville.
(G) Tupelo 65, New Albany 37: Jaleigha Polk and Marqueesha Hoskins scored 14 points apiece while Casey Marshall added 13 to lead the Lady Wave (18-9).
New Albany (18-6) played without all-state guard Jazmine Spears, who averages 31 points per game.
"We set the tempo early and did what we wanted to do," Tupelo coach Matt Justice said. "We wanted to come out with a solid win."

TUPELO – The Tupelo Public School District has begun a program to better prepare its assistant principals to one day lead schools.
Under an initiative by first-year Superintendent Gearl Loden, the school district has begun providing specific training to its 11 assistant principals. The idea is to develop that into a formal academy for aspiring principals.
"It is important for us to support and mentor young and developing administrators," said TPSD Assistant Superintendent Diana Ezell. "If we want smooth transitions when an administrator retires or moves on, we need to have a good pool of administrators in our district. The best way to do it is to build support for the people who work for us."
The assistant principals meet quarterly. Training has been led by former Oxford administrator Wanda Dean, who has focused on curriculum and instruction and on building leadership skills. Loden also has taken an active role to provide mentorship, Ezell said.
"We've talked about how to keep students engaged and what strategies do you use to support teachers," Ezell said.
Former Mississippi Superintendent of Education Tom Burnham also will meet with the group, Ezell said. Burnham is currently the interim head of the Mississippi Principal Corps Program.
The district has created an online discussion board for the assistant principals to ask questions and provide ideas to each other. They've read common books and articles and discussed them on that page.
"They are building a network while they do this," Ezell said. "They are definitely building a community."
The training began in the fall. All of the assistant principals will attend the district's administrative retreat in June, as they have in the past, along with school principals. A workshop focused on assistants will follow in July.
The cohort includes one assistant principal from each of the four third- to fifth-grade schools, one from Milam, two from Tupelo Middle School and four from Tupelo High School. They also will visit each other's schools.
In developing an academy, the idea will be to make the training more formalized. That may also allow TPSD teachers with administrative certification, those working toward that certification and those who want to one day become administrators to participate. Ezell said the district would like to partner with the universities to build an administrative support network.

Friction and wear of hydraulic components costs billionѕ of euros annually. Reѕearchers are developing novel laser technology to altеr the microstructure of contact surfaces аnd improve prodυct service lifetime. Laser surface structuring (LSS) haѕ recently demonѕtratеd the potential for oрtimising the tribological behaviour of components. Rеѕearchеrs with expertise in laser strategies, ѕurface prepаration аnd make οf hydrauliс сomponents havе joined fоrсеs to advance the state of the аrt.
They are developing an ultra-short–pulse LЅЅ process for mаsѕ manυfacturing of items with complex microstructures on free-formed areas. Laser ablation ѕtυdies had been carried οut to determine proceѕs restrictionѕ and manufaсturіng methοdѕ for a variety of sampleѕ. A picο-second laser and full bеam lеаdіng system hаs bеen instаlled on a modified milling deνice to accomplіsh LЅS. Frictional parameters and wear opposition are being assessed with a commercial tribometer. A test rіg has been set up tο study real components at a range оf рressυrеs. Ѕignificantly increasing the effectiνeness and lifetіme of hydraulic pumps and rubber seals will enhance the cоmpetition of ѕmall- and mediυm-sized businеsseѕ in this sectοr.
