Hi George and Regina:
Thanks so much for your suggestions. I will plug in those names in all of my data bases and see what I come up with.
There are so many possible connections that may lead me to her family. I am checking land records. The fuzziest description in a will states her property (no maiden name) near someone else's property.

Dorothy said, "There's no place like home." I disagree. Every place can be home. Even that place with the bare walls, the wannabe DJ next door and the A/C unit older than your first car.
I've lived in six apartments in seven years. From a studio with blue carpeting to an old Victorian with soaring ceilings, every one of those places I have made my home.
That's the point of this new column and video series: to look at design through the eyes of the space-starved, budget-minded renter. My monthly tips and projects won't be DIY just for the sake of being crafty. They will be designed for renters, by a renter. My goal is to provide practical solutions for some of you — and entertainment for the rest of you.
As I wrote "The First Apartment Book: Cool Design for Small Spaces," I traveled the country coming up with ideas on how to turn apartments into homes that reflected the people who lived in them. There's this misperception that design is about matching colors and arranging pretty knickknacks. It's not. Home is the ultimate form of self-expression. It's where you make memories.
If you're about to give the typical renter's excuse about why you don't bother to decorate, stop.
Consider this: When I first walked into my current apartment, I faced a 650-square-foot white box with zero architectural details. It was your classic L.A. rental. But it was mine. I just had to work within the constraints of a renter.
In the living room, I had a low-cost cabinet built for the wall air-conditioner. It hides the ugly unit when I have company over, and I just slide open a door when I need cool air.
I channeled Ralph Lauren and installed custom plaid temporary wallpaper on the wall behind my TV. That sets the living room apart from the rest of the apartment.
A separate home office just wasn't going to fit, so I repurposed my prized vintage desk — a steal on Craigslist — and used it as a sideboard in my dining area. It housed all my files and ugly desk stuff. None of my dinner guests noticed that I had been working here all day.
My bedroom is barely big enough to fit a queen bed, and the only window looks onto an alley. To get around this, I bought magic — more commonly known as top-down, bottom-up roman shades. They can block out any part of the view. I use them to hide the ugly part of the alley but allow the trees to show. You'd think I lived in the hills.
The point is most renters like me don't live in the hills. We live in studios. We live with roommates. We live with Armani Casa tastes on garage-sale budgets. We aren't Dorothy. We never wanted to be. So in the months to come, here and through videos of our online DIY projects, we'll look at ways to conquer the boring rental — beige walls and all.
In our first video for "The Apt. Life," we have a fitting project: a DIY welcome mat. Using three colors of Flor carpet squares, a ruler, a pen and an X-Acto knife, we walk through the step-by-step process, offering detailed instructions in our accompanying video.
Kyle Schuneman is a Los Angeles-based interior designer who, in addition to his decorating work for residential clients and show houses, has styled catalogs for stores such as Target and CB2. "The Apt. Life" will appear here at the beginning of every month.

UAE. Airports captured the bulk of transportation contracts awarded in the first five months of 2012 with US$2 billion worth of projects throughout the GCC.
Road construction came in second with US$1.6 billion worth of contracts; followed by port projects valued at US$1.2 billion while rail contracts awarded reached US$424 million.
The data was released by MEED, a leading provider of business intelligence, ahead of the Arabian World Construction Summit 2012, which will present a comprehensive overview of construction and infrastructure projects across key sectors and markets in the Arab world.
"Governments across the GCC will continue to invest in the infrastructure sector to support economic growth, and one of the busiest will be the transportation sector. Airports are currently leading the boost, as tourism continues to be a major growth driver in the region," said Edmund O'Sullivan, Chairman, MEED Events, organisers of the annual Arabian World Construction Summit (AWCS).
Invaluable insights
The summit will gather the construction industry's leading stakeholders to discuss the prospects and challenges confronting the sector across the Arab world. Renowned speaks will provide valuable insights into the type of projects that will be needed, as well as how funding and finances could be identified to bankroll the megaprojects needed to spur economic activity in the region.
"The GCC will continue to be a beehive of activity from ongoing projects and future investments. However, we will also hold special sessions on Iraq and Egypt and the massive opportunities at stake for contractors, financers and project owners," continued Sullivan.
Industry reports
With almost US$300 billion worth of projects to be awarded until 2016, construction costs will play a key role in both project conceptualisation and execution. A special report reviewing the current cost index against project awards will be presented. Summit participants will also get a first glimpse of the construction cost forecast for 2013.
Construction Products Holding Company (CPC), a Saudi-based conglomerate and one of the biggest suppliers of construction and building materials in the region, expects construction costs to level off this year. "This provides a great incentive to investors and developers to embark on new projects, which will further boost economic activity in the region," said Dr. Faysal Alaquil, Director of Business Development and CSR at CPC, Gold sponsors of the Arabian World Construction Summit 2012.
Another highlight of this year's Arabian World Construction Summit is a masterclass that provides attendees a solid understanding of the macro-economic and political factors affecting the construction industry in the region, as well as insights into the projects industry provided by MEED's expert sector analysts in Construction, Power & Water, Oil & Gas/Petrochemicals, Infrastructure & Transport, as well as Renewable Energy.
Organised by MEED Events and sponsored by Construction Products Holding Company (CPC), Emirates Steel, Tekla, Mashreq Bank, Al Tamimi & Co., Drake & Scull, Sustainable Solutions and TAV Construction, the Arabian World Construction Summit takes place on 20-23 May 2012 at The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort and Spa.

About the Arabian World Construction Summit
AWCS is the event that all construction professionals mark in their diaries every year. The event is back in 2012 with a greater focus on the new wave of projects that the countries in the Middle East plan to implement in the next five years. This event will encompass market overviews, country profiles, project case studies, supply-chain and sector analyses of key projects in transportation, social infrastructure, power and water and alternative energy developments; these sectors being at the forefront of current regional infrastructure opportunities.
Project industry leaders representing major clients and contractors, will deliver presentations and participate in executive panel discussions that will tackle all the big issues and opportunities emerging as the region gears up for delivering more than $500 billion worth of projects in 2011-15.
Over 300 industry leaders and experts from the Gulf and beyond will attend AWCS 2012, confirming the summit as the premier annual event for the region's construction projects industry. You need to position yourself amongst these industry giants to capitalize on opportunities in this robust market.

BAYAMON, Puerto Rico — For the second time in as many games, the University of Massachusetts shook off second-half struggles to win at the buzzer.
The game appeared headed for overtime when Chaz Williams's driving layup attempt rolled off the rim, but senior forward Terrell Vinson crashed from the left baseline and tipped the ball in as time ran out giving UMass a 77-75 win over Providence at Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.
In Tuesday's season-opener in Amherst, Vinson had fouled out before Sampson Carter's 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left gave UMass a 67-64 win over Harvard.
He was eager to make an impact this time.
"Just in case it didn't go in or he passed it, I just had to stay active in the lane," said Vinson, who had 14 points and six rebounds. "You can see something about our team every time you watch us. We have a no-quit mentality."
Carter had his hand in the heroics again. With the score tied at 75 with 22 seconds left, Providence's LaDontae Henton drove to the basket, but Carter took the charge, setting up the final sequence.
Despite having a roster reduced by injuries to just six scholarship players, the Friars (2-1) matched the Minutemen's energy throughout.
"Our kids played their tails off. We won a lot of things tonight. We just didn't win the game," Providence coach Ed Cooley said. "I told our kids I was really proud of them."
UMass came into the game wanting to force turnovers, to use its defensive pressure to harass the Friars, who were playing without a true point guard. Instead it was the Minutemen who gave the ball away — 17 times, including seven in the second half.
Bryce Cotton, a converted shooting guard handled the pressure and finished with 23 points, 5 assists, and 2 turnovers out playing Williams (17 points, 5 assists, 6 turnovers).

WATSONVILLE -- The sun was shining Thursday as Ron Watson walked from the Resetar apartments to a free Thanksgiving meal served outdoors at noon at Hansen Park on Main Street.
"I'm thankful for my salvation and I'm thankful it's a beautiful day," he said.
Usually, he helps set up for the meal, a tradition started eight years ago by owners of the Swingtime Cafe. This year, he planned to help clean up.
"Wow, a lot of people," he said as the park came into sight.
Two lines had been set up to serve roast turkey, sage bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, mashed yams, cranberry sauce, beans and green salad with dressing -- plus pumpkin cobbler.
Everything was cooked from scratch by Antonette Wood, chef and co-owner of Swingtime Cafe, who spent 27 years working for Clint Eastwood's Hog's Breath Inn in Carmel and then at Whole Foods.
"It's just as if she's catering an expensive party," said Betty Wilkinson, sister of Swingtime Cafe co-owner Peggy Triplitt.
Asked what motivates her to cook a free meal for 1,000 people, Wood said she wanted to work locally where she could serve her community.
"I love cooking and I love sharing it," she said.
Even before Wood and Triplitt opened Swingtime Cafe, they talked about doing a free Thanksgiving lunch.
"That was our priority," Triplitt said, sitting in a motorized cart at the park, surveying people enjoying Thursday's lunch. "It makes me teary-eyed."
Carol Schwartz, who is staying at the shelter operated by Teen Challenge Monterey Bay and the Pajaro Rescue Mission, was a first-time visitor at the Thanksgiving lunch.
"It was very good," she said, singling out the turkey leg.
This year, 52 turkeys were roasted.
"We depend on donations," Triplitt said. "All of a sudden people bring in 15 or 20 turkeys at a time."
The cafe has two ovens, big enough to roast eight turkeys at once.
Wood starts roasting the weekend before to finish.
She allows one volunteer in the kitchen to help her, Peter Fricke, who is in charge of mashing 300 pounds of potatoes.
Volunteers show up to help. "I just wanted to help out," said Rex Rackley, offering to move trash cans. "It feels good."
His wife and children joined him, serving food and coffee.
Tracey Butts said she heard from Danny Robles at Second Harvest Food Bank that help was needed.
"Pay it forward," she said.
She came with her friend, Stepanie Ziai, who brought her husband and their two daughters, ages 7 and 4.
"We're trying to teach the kids to be gracious," Ziai said.
Triplitt urged them to eat, so they all got paper plates full of food and sat on the grassy lawn picnic-style.
This year may be the last Thanksgiving meal, according to Triplitt, her white hair peeking out from under her cap.
"Last year was supposed to be our last one," she said. "But Antonette couldn't let go."

If a report indicates that black South Carolinians are 2.8 times more likely than whites to be arrested on marijuana charges, local advocates think police agencies should do something about it.
But when the Charleston County sheriff brushed off the study and other top lawmen were silent about the topic this month, Charleston NAACP President Dot Scott was disturbed, she said Monday.
The American Civil Liberties Union found that the racial disparities in arrests for marijuana possession in 2010 were prominent in Charleston County, though five other South Carolina counties ranked higher on the list.
After it was published in early June, Sheriff Al Cannon criticized the study as biased and a possible result of cherry-picking statistics to support a theory. Marijuana charges often result from a suspect's other crimes, he said.
Scott has invited Cannon and local police chiefs to provide evidence for such a contention during a town-hall meeting with residents June 27. She also asked to see data on arrests for methamphetamine, "an overwhelmingly white drug of choice," she said.
If police departments were to eradicate racial profiling, the disparity in arrests on minor marijuana possession also would fall, she said.
"If not, then we need to be screaming at the leadership of those departments," Scott said. "If we've got that level of a problem, then we must address it."
The call to action by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is not a new one. Advocates such as Scott have long been critical of area agencies, primarily the North Charleston Police Department, for what they call a failure to address black residents' concerns that they are unfairly targeted.
They said the recent ACLU study provides proof that action is needed.
Besides Cannon, who plans to issue a response to Scott on Tuesday, local police chiefs have remained silent on the report.
Spokesmen for three of the largest police forces in Charleston County said their chiefs were unavailable for comment Monday. Charleston's Greg Mullen was in a meeting, and North Charleston's Eddie Driggers was out of the office, the spokesmen said. Mount Pleasant's Carl Ritchie would "absolutely not" comment on the topic, Maj. Stan Gragg said.
During the news conference, Scott cited an example in which the nephew of an NAACP member was arrested in North Charleston last month when he was accused of having two marijuana seeds during a traffic stop. She said taxpayer money would be better spent going after the people who sell the drug instead of those who have a small amount for personal use.
South Carolina spent $49,540,640 enforcing marijuana laws in 2010, the ACLU study found.
Thomas Dixon, a North Charleston community advocate and pastor of Summerville Christian Fellowship, said the sheriff's recent comments regarding the marijuana study could rub off on deputies.
"When you have that type of attitude coming from our sheriff ... then that attitude can't do anything but filter down to his subordinates," Dixon said. "The dismissive attitude that comes from our sheriff just carries over into his people."
The ACLU ranked South Carolina law agencies 13th among 38 states that reported an increasing racial divide in marijuana arrests between 2001 and 2010. The rate rose here by 57.4 percent, the ACLU found.
The Post and Courier could not immediately obtain statistics for individual jurisdictions.

|מאגר מידע » ציונות » Zionism General
|כותב המאמר: Avraham Burg
Address by Avraham Burg, as Chairman of the Zionist Executive and the Jewish Agency for Israel.
1. The Zionist movement has reached a crossroads: its critics await the opportunity to pronounce its eulogy, while its supporters observe an awkward silence.
2. We are caught in the very trap of our success: the good, old-fashioned brand of Zionism has played its part, has carried its victory over all its opponents and enemies... Look around you. A nation sovereign in its own land, a steadfast state, a dwindling Diaspora and Hebrew revived as the cultural bridge among members of this generation and between this generation and those of the past.
3. Today, we witness the completion of our efforts to rescue Jewish lives. From across the former Soviet Union, from behind the veil of Islam and other states of peril, we pray for the last Jews to emerge from imprisonment to freedom. So be so crestfallen, why the scepticism?
4. Is not the next spiritual challenge already taking shape, in the form of the struggle against assimilation? For the Jewish people is disappearing: will we be the major force in the battle line-up?
5. How are we to contend with this adversary, this harbinger of spiritual annihilation?
6. Former policy lines, founded on ideologically correct positions for the objectives of yesteryear are powerless to fill the breach. It is our obligation to enter this battle - here and now, together, for the sake of our people, for the sake of continued Jewish existence. It is our duty to make a commitment: we will go into battle against the spiritual threat which menaces us with total destruction.
7. The supreme challenge for the morrow of a Zionism for rescuing distressed Jews was defined by the Zionist visionary himself; here, by his tomb, let us remember his words:
"I believe that even when we will have achieved a land of our own, Zionism will not cease to be an ideal. For in Zionism, as I perceive it, incorporates not only the aspiration to a secured plot of land for our wretched people, but also the desire for moral and spiritual fulfillment."
8. The people is no longer wretched, but the aspiration to spiritual and ethical integrity has not yet been realized.
9. The Zionist dream appears to us in serial form:
a. The first chapter was the vision.
b. Next, came fulfilment - the translation of the vision into a reality of strength and prosperity.
c. The third chapter will hold the value-related substance of our lives - building a community, the struggle for the status of the Jewish woman, social tolerance, religious pluralism, sensitivity to the stranger and the citizen in our land. So many tasks, so many challenges, so much hope.
10. The new Zionism of today has yet to pronounce itself:
We shall be delighted to act as this bridge from the past into the future.
We shall be delighted to be the ideological progenitors of the next generation; it is our duty to build a world for them, and to enable them to live there.
11. A Zionist movement without young people at its center is doomed to extinction.
To center on young people is not a matter of paying lip service, but to induce genuine transformation in representation, allocate resources, create programs of action and transfer responsibility.
* Because it is impossible to speak of education and ignore our young people.
* Because it is impossible to speak of identification and ignore our young people.
* Because it is impossible to speak of assimilation and ignore our young people.
* Because it is impossible to speak of aliyah and ignore our young people.
12. Our objective is the person; the Jewish person, the Zionist, the young person.
13. Today, people no longer meet on youth movement premises - they are out and about, where things are happening: on campuses, in synagogues, in summer camps and schools.
14. Our partners to this human and ideological bridge are universal:
- the religiously observant and the religiously innovative;
- the traditional and the rehabilitators;
- equal women and men.
15. How is this to be realized?
How can one transpose organizational activity into a social model?
16. I envision the creation of a non-party grass-roots movement, the movement of the people.
The movement of all those from the House of Israel who care about, and sense the distress of the solitary Jew.
17. A movement of the people with an efficient, modern structure, unfettered by outside interests, which will faithfully serve the five fundamental aims of the Jewish people:
1. Tzedakah [Charitableness] and Deeds of Loving-kindness - the sensitivity and generosity of those who have on behalf of those who do not.
2. The political objective - all those tasks which the people can assume where the reach of the state falls short.
3. The promotion of aliyah from the West - the involvement of Israel in Diaspora life.
4. Building the country - the involvement of the Diaspora in Israeli life.
5. Finally, mutual involvement - Jewish education in the sense of "the value of learning Torah is above all".
18. A very great charge has been placed upon us within Israeli society here and within Jewish society per se - that of creating peace and harmony within the fold.
We have no soul save that extra one which is capable of bridging our differences:
between Orthodox and Reform,
between traditional-Conservative and secularists,
between rehabilitators of religion and its fanatics;
between factions and streams;
between ideas and ethnic groups.
19. Nearby, in this same section where lies the tomb of the visionary of the state, are two more tombs. One is that of the late Betar leader whose reburial in Israel marks the zenith of the culture of debate; the other is the resting place of the late Prime Minister, felled by bullets which epitomize the depths of adversarial dissociation and alienation.
20. It is therefore significant that from here that we shall send out a message of strength and spirit to the eternal people. United, no-one shall put us asunder; united, no goal is unattainable.
May we go from strength to strength.

It is quiet in the house. The piano lies still, the TV is not blaring. No shrill shrieks of anger or fits of booming laughter. Bella is not on the porch reading her favorite book, like usual. No choir of voices to greet me home. The children are out hunting, I remember. It is a peaceful change from the hospital. No one yelling my name, no grinding sounds of gurneys being pushed at high speeds down the hall ways and no crying sobs of the loved ones left behind. Yes, I am home and I take a moment to enjoy it. The silence is minimally broken by the smallest of sounds. Human ears would never have perceived it. I grin at the small reminder.
Following the sound, through the foyer, passing the large living room I notice a board game has been left strewn about on the floor by the fire place. I will have to scold them for that. They know better than to leave things lying around. I shake my head knowing full well it is my granddaughter that is guilty of the small crime. Turning towards the sound again I move off down the hall way to the sitting area near the kitchen. Peering out the large wall length windows, that overlooks the backyard, I smile again. Ah. There she is. I think. She has not gone with the children, as we had gone the night before. 'Mom and Dad time' my youngest son calls it.
She is a beautiful creature, though somehow even more so, when she is working in her garden. She tends to it like it is her child. And, on some level, I guess it is. Our grand-daughter has been grown for years now and no longer needs to be fussed over as she once did. I watch as she gently moves the newest addition into her paradise; a small frail looking plant, which Alice gave her yesterday. She smiles as she slowly packs the dirt in around the roots. Always the green thumb, I muse tearing myself away from the nurturing sight. I will leave her to her gardening for the moment.
Moving off through the empty house again, I find myself drawn to my study. I spend most of my time here when I am home. Sitting down at my desk I pick up the morning newspaper. I left to early this morning to read it. Alice must have seen the paper delivery would be delayed and left it for me to find. I chuckle there is nothing she ever misses. I sigh, pulling open the newspaper and began my scanning. Nothing unusual is occurring. Things have been relatively quiet lately, as they should be for a sleepy little town like Forks. The one thing that does catch my eye is the announcement of winter break from school. I chuckle again. The children will be home for three straight weeks. Esme will be beside herself.
Re-folding the paper I set it aside and lean back, swiveling my chair around to face the large open windows that are behind me. I scan the forest that spreads out before me like a blanket of green and white. It is beautiful here, of all the places we have lived over the years, I have to admit that Forks is my favorite. It has truly changed little, if it has changed at all. New faces, different life style; but all in all Forks was still Forks and probably will be for a long time after this. No one here remembers us, we erased ourselves from their lives, their records, and their memories.
One hundred and fifty years is a long time for humans and even werewolves, but the Quileute's memory is long. Jacob had naturally gone to check on his tribe, well their decedents anyway, shortly after our return here. The meeting had been awkward, the now leader of the tribe; Ephraim Lahote was not a trusting man. Only after a few visits, and Jacob showing his other side to Ephraim and the other elders did they believe him. Caleb Uley had voiced his concerns of course but Ephraim would hear none of it. I expect trouble may come from the man one day, but Alice has given no sign to seeing him a threat. Ephraim and the other elders, had immediately promised Jacob the treaty would be up held as it once had. And so here we are, able to remain for at least the next four to eight years.
I wonder how far the children have gone this time. Their quarry will most likely be keeping to the mountains. It is the middle of winter; the animals will still be hibernating. Turning back to my desk, I rub my temples, more out of habit than necessity. I sigh again and swivel in my chair. Leaning over, I pull open a thin compartment beneath the filing drawer of the desk. Carefully removing a thick leather bound book from the drawer's shallow depths, I take note that I will need to find a better hiding place for its size soon. Too many life times between the pages. Lifting open the cover, I breath in the scent it casts off. For some reason I have always loved the smell of aged paper and ink, even as a human. I gently turn to the first page. It is covered with pictures of Esme and I. In the center of the collage there is a picture yellowed with age. I trace the centuries old note written below the photograph. "Carlisle and Esme – 1921".I move on through the pages, reliving every moment captured on film. The first time Esme had redecorated the house, and the time she realized she liked to garden. The first time Edward played her favorite sonata, on the ivory piano she had bought him. The family portrait Alice had been adamant we take.
I do not need these pictures to remind me of the events but they are nice to have anyway. I know that Alice has a much more detailed album of the family's life. It is the one thing we keep with us. The one thing that remains the same, beside ourselves of course. Emmett had complained when we moved back here about all the boxes he and Jasper had to unload that were full of nothing but picture albums. I laugh, remembering Alice had silenced her brother with a sudden close up shot and blinded him for the next several minutes. My phone vibrates, pulling me from my reverie, and I quickly pick it up.
"Dr. Cullen." I answer out of habit.
"Uh…yes...M-mr. C-Cul….Doctor Cullen, forgive me. Hello." A rather shaken voice replies. I immediately recognized the thick British voice. It is Henri, my family's attorney. What could he want? I think, as he continues.
"Forgive me for disturbing you, sir, but I have received a rather urgent request. A certain Madam Beaumont called a few moments ago, asking for you personally. She stated it was a family matter and to tell you that your presence is being requested at her home in New Orleans. Madam Beaumont left her number sir, will you need it?"
"No. Please call her back on my behalf and let her know I will be arriving shortly.," I order.
"Yes, sir. Absolutely, sir. As always, please call if you need my assistance." And with that Henri hangs up. Flipping my cell phone shut, I return the album to its drawer and leave my study quickly, speeding soundlessly down the stair case. No doubt my wife will assume I have been called back to the hospital and the children will not be home for hours yet. I take my keys from their place by the door and slip outside. The sun just setting behind the cloud bank as I slide into the driver's seat of my car and start the engine. I look once and then accelerate out of the drive way. I hope that the decision to leave has been made too quickly for Alice to have much foresight of it, but I doubt it. My mind races faster than I am driving. We have not spoken in centuries. We made a deal with each other before I left her company. We were never to contact each other unless we had no other choice, no other way out. What could have happened? What had gone so terribly wrong that she needs me?

Jay Paterno and another former assistant football coach at Penn State are suing the university over how they were dismissed from the staff when Bill O'Brien was hired as head coach two years ago.
Paterno and William Kenney filed a lawsuit Monday in Philadelphia federal court that seeks more than $1 million.
Both served under Paterno's father, Joe Paterno, before he was fired soon after retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was charged with child molestation in late 2011.
The coaches say they've been unfairly linked to the Sandusky scandal, making it difficult to find comparable coaching jobs.
Kenney is now an assistant at Western Michigan. Paterno is a writer and consultant.
A Penn State spokeswoman says it's common for head coaches to pick their own assistants but isn't offering more comment.

"I am confident and pleased via this agreement," said Stronach Group chairman Frank Stronach, who owns Pimlico and Laurel, "we will now have long term stability, year round racing and stabling, an attractive purse structure, promise for the breeding industry and a strong foundation to restore Maryland racing to its pre-eminence in North American racing."
The 2013 racing season will feature 146 days of live racing days at the major Maryland tracks, the same number as in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Maryland Jockey Club will guarantee a minimum of 100 days a year for the balance of the agreement. There are provisions in the contract for the horsemen to race additional days through a revenue-sharing program.
The deal also calls for Pimlico and Laurel Park to remain open for year-round racing, training and stabling for the balance of the contract. Chuckas indicated Pimlico and Laurel would maintain a minimum of 1,900 stalls.
Chuckas said the deal "allows the Maryland Jockey Club to invest in capital improvements at both facilities and we plan on submitting a plan to the Maryland Racing Commission and Maryland Department of Budget and Management in February."
The parties will ask the Maryland Racing Commission to approve 2013 racing dates at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 18. The meeting begins at 12:30 p.m. in Laurel Park's Ruffian Room.

The Edmonton Oilers have jumped out to a solid start to the season, but they haven't had much success recently against the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Oilers will try reversing that trend when they visit the Coyotes for Wednesday's clash at Jobing.com Arena.
Phoenix swept all four games from the Oilers in 2011-12 and has won five straight and 10 of the last 11 meetings in this series. Edmonton hasn't fared much better in the desert, dropping two in a row and six of its previous seven games in Arizona.
The Oilers are 3-2-0 and have alternated wins and losses since the start of the season. Edmonton hopes to post consecutive victories for the first time in 2013 after coasting to a win over Colorado in its last trip to the ice,
Ales Hemsky scored one of four power-play goals as the Oilers rolled to a 4-1 home win over the Avalanche on Monday. The 4-for-6 performance on the man advantage gives Edmonton 10 power-play goals in 28 opportunities this season -- good for second in the league percentage-wise.
Jordan Eberle, Shawn Horcoff and 2012 No. 1 overall pick Nail Yakupov also lit the lamp for the Oilers, who had won twice after regulation and entered the contest having not led at any point during a game this season.
"We didn't play the last period like we wanted, but we got the win and it certainly felt good to play with a lead," Horcoff said.
Devan Dubnyk stopped 37 Colorado shots, including a whopping 23 in the third period.
Phoenix also received some terrific goaltending in its last outing, a 4-0 win over visiting Nashville on Monday. In just his seventh NHL contest, Chad Johnson stopped 21 shots to notch his first career shutout in his Coyotes debut, as the Coyotes blanked the Predators.
Johnson was recalled from the Portland Pirates of the AHL last week after starting goaltender Mike Smith sustained a lower-body injury in the first period of last Wednesday's win against the Blue Jackets.
"It just kind of shows that I can play at this level," said Johnson. "I have to continue to do that. It's one game."
The 26-year-old Johnson's only other victory came on Jan. 31, 2010 against the Colorado Avalanche as a member of the New York Rangers. He could get another start on Wednesday over Smith's regular backup Jason LaBarbera.
Keith Yandle registered a goal and two assists, while Lauri Korpikoski, Nick Johnson and Antoine Vermette each scored once for the Coyotes, who snapped a two-game skid to push their season record to 2-4-0.
Smith is currently on injured reserve although he'd be eligible to return for Wednesday's game if he was healthy. As it stands, Smith is more likely to be back in net this weekend when Phoenix takes on Dallas in a home-and-home series.
The Coyotes are closing a three-game homestand against the Oilers and are 2-2-0 as the host this season.

Well, judging by the contents of the next translated part of chapter 6...
Uldin is about to make a quite huge mistake, by trying to make the wrong person, into another of his women.
I guess we will learn what are Aisha's offensive capabilities pretty soon...

^ I guess, though saying all his target become his lover doesn't seem fair.
Btw, this Delilah knife, how long this sealing effect going to last? It seems pretty unfair, no side effect to the user, easy to use without needing ton of magical power, you don't even need to shave all the hair of the target like in Samson's legend, just cutting a little hair can completely suppress Campione's power. man, it seems a very hax weapon. Such a great tool, why does it never heard in the future? Maybe Erica or Ena will steal it for their own use and bring it to the future with them. if that's happen, bad news for Godou, lol.

^ I have heard of the legend before, though if my memory is correct, I remember that Delilah shave Samson's hair till he is bald. But here Clotilde only cut a little of Godou's hair, and the requirement to use the knife is pretty easy too, the user just need to be woman, and the target must be men, the user doesn't even need to make the target fall for her like in the legend where Samson is head over heel for Delilah. Compared to Prometheus' grimoire or Godou's golden sword, this knife is a pretty sweet weapon it seems totally hax. It doesn't even just seal one authority too, but all of Godou's ability is sealed. I feel that this knife is pretty much an ultimate weapon, surpassing all the ability shown till now.

Well, on a different topic, after reading the second part of chapter 6 again, I think that there is even more evidence, that Uldin might be a quite distant ancestor of Godou - after all, he has a similar womanizing trait as almost all the males of the Kusanagi family, his appearance is quite similar to Godou and he even has a similar personality traits as Godou - at least according to Ruska:

Lol, Aisha's last line is pretty hilarious. Though I think its not only her authority that make the soldier fully ready to lay their life on the line, but also her personality. Like it or not she is truly seems like a holy woman.
Btw, it looks like till now uldin and aisha haven't yet muttering any incantation when they are using their authority.
And for the first time, finally a Campione that looks like weaker than Godou in term of authority.

The man who was found justified by authorities this past month in a fatal January shooting in Thomasville pleaded guilty Thursday to the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon.
The man who was found justified by authorities this past month in a fatal January shooting in Thomasville pleaded guilty Thursday to the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon.
Clifton Gregory Dennis, 56, of 2371 Cid Road, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a felon in Davidson County Superior Court.
Judge Mark Klass sentenced the man, who police previously said had the address of 211 Pine St., to an active sentence of six months in prison and three years of supervised probation.
Dennis' plea stemmed from an incident Jan. 19. Thomasville Police responded to 211 Pine St. in reference to a subject being shot at 10:38 p.m. Officers arrived on the scene and found David Rayvon Braswell, 38, dead from a gunshot.
Davidson County Assistant District Attorney Greg Brown said TPD officers took statements and learned Braswell was choking his girlfriend, the daughter of Dennis. The daughter started screaming for help, at which time her father, who was residing at the residence, came to her aid while carrying a .22 caliber rifle from a different portion of the residence, the assistant district attorney said.
"Mr. Dennis told him to stop, (and) fired a shot over Mr. Braswell's head," Brown said. "He did not stop, made a lunge at Mr. Dennis, and Mr. Dennis shot the gun a second time. The second bullet did cause the death of Mr. Braswell."
The case, Brown said, was reviewed and found to be a justifiable killing in the defense of a third party. However, the incident did result in the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon against Dennis.
Dennis, Brown said, told law enforcement he had the weapon for two or three months under his control prior to the incident. The assistant district attorney said there was some indication that the rifle may have "very well" have belonged to the deceased. Brown said Dennis had previously been convicted of felony possession of stolen goods and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Jeff Berg, Dennis' lawyer, indicated in court that Dennis had previously been in a motorcycle crash, the assistant district attorney said. Brown said Dennis wore a "very complicated neck brace" into the courtroom.
According to the Asheboro Courier-Tribune, Dennis was involved in an accident with his motorcycle this past month. A trooper told the newspaper the cause of the accident appeared to be a mechanical failure of the 1976 Honda motorcycle Dennis was driving on U.S. Highway 64 East.
Berg said in a phone interview with The Dispatch that he advised his client not to take the plea with the state. He said he wanted his client to let the judge decide what the sentence would be for the charge. Berg said Dennis is a "grown man" and could make his own choice.
Berg said that those who are commonly convicted of possession of a firearm by felon typically don't get as tough of a sentence as Dennis received. He said he feels like the death of Braswell caused the tougher sentence.
"Normally he would have been put on probation," Berg said, adding that Dennis will get credit for 21 days he has already served in jail. "… I think he had an excellent chance for a shorter active sentence."
Berg said Braswell also had been convicted of a felony. According to the N.C. Department of Correction website, Braswell had previously been convicted of felony assault with a deadly weapon on government officers/employees and felony assault inflicting serious injury.

Triple Crown - December 2012by Tyson Giuriato / Vancouver Canucks
A trio of Canucks prospects were in the holiday spirit during the month of December.
Big goals, lots of assists, First Star of the Game honors, Player of the Week honors and national team try-outs; it was quite the month for Canucks prospects.
1). Brendan Gaunce, Belleville Bulls, OHL
After a slow month of November that saw Gaunce return to the Bulls line-up after missing nearly a month with a shoulder injury, the Canucks 2012 first-round draft pick regained his form in December, picking up 10 points (5-5-10) in nine games. Gaunce had three multi-point games in the month, including a three-point night on December 28th. The Bulls captain was named First Star of the Game twice in the month and also earned OHL Player of the Week honors for the week ending on December 30th, after picking up five points in two games. The Markham, Ontario, native has registered 24 points (13-11-24) in 30 games this season.
2). Darren Archibald, Chicago Wolves, AHL
Getting sent down to the ECHL at the start of the season may have been the best thing to happen to Archibald. Since being recalled to the Wolves, the 6-foot-3 forward has been nothing short of impressive, scoring five goals in nine games in the month of December, giving him six points (6-0-0) in 11 games in the AHL this season. Archibald's best game of the month came on December 13th against the Hamilton Bulldogs, when the Newmarket, Ontario, product scored twice, had a fight and was named First Star. Despite only playing in 11 games, Archibald sits tied for third on the Wolves in goals and tied for first on the team in power play goals (3).
3). Zack Kassian, Chicago Wolves, AHL
Kassian didn't find the back of the net in the month of December, however, the 6-foot-3 forward showcased some of his underrated play-making abilities, picking up six assists in nine games. Kassian also fired 29 shots on goal in the month, including an impressive eight shots on December 19th against Abbotsford. The Windsor, Ontario, native now has 18 points (6-12-18) in 27 games, along with a team-high 59 penalty-minutes. His 12 assists are good for second on the team, one behind the leader (Ebbett), while his 72 shots this season have him three off the team leader (Connauton).
Honourable Mention: Frank Corrado, Sudbury Wolves, OHL
December was a roller-coaster month of emotions for Corrado, who had points in five straight games, giving him five points (2-3-5) in 10 games in the month, while also earning himself an invite to the Team Canada World Junior Championships selection camp. The Sudbury Wolves captain scored the game-winner in the Team Canada intra-squad game and followed that up with the lone-goal the next day for Canada against the University of Alberta. Ultimately, Corrado didn't make the Canadian team, but still impressed many with his solid play. (http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=647778) The 6-foot-one defenseman has 26 points (5-21-26) in 40 games this season, while also picking up 42 penalty-minutes.
-Team-Leader: Jordan Schroeder had a productive month for the Chicago Wolves, picking up six points (1-5-6) in nine games, giving him 19 points (9-10-19) in 29 games this season, which has him tied for the team-lead in goals and points.
-Scoring Goals in Sweden: Nicklas Jensen picked up four points (3-1-4) in eight games this past month for AIK in the Elitserien (Swedish Elite League), giving him a total of 16 points (12-4-16) in 35 games. Jensen's 12 goals have him ranked eighth in the league in that category, first among junior-aged players, while he ranks fifth in game-winning goals (4).
-New Surroundings: After failing to get in the line-up on many nights with Djurgarden , Ludwig Blomstrand was transferred to a new Allsvenskan league team, Almtuna. Since joining his new squad the Canucks fourth-round selection in 2011 has picked up five points (5-1-6) in 12 games, while playing big minutes on the top-line.
-Monkey off the Back: It may have took a little longer than expected, but Joseph Labate finally notched his first goal of the season in December, while picking up three points (2-1-3) in five games for the University of Wisconsin. Labate has six points (3-3-6) in 16 games this season and is super-pumped for the new television series, Girl Meets World, a sequel to Boy Meets World. "Hopefully it's as good as the original. I wish it was their son though to be honest, but I'm sure it will be good." said Labate.

|Weddings and Graduations »
Meatless Menu for 2 Os and a B
Right now we're in the middle of "The 9 Days"- the saddest time in Jewish history. From the first of the Jewish month of Av until the 9th is a period of semi-mourning where, among other things, eating meat is not permitted except for Shabbos. The 9th of Av is the date that the Great Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed- both times, it happened on the same Jewish date. A few other sad things in Jewish history happened on this date as well. The 9th itself is a fast day; no eating or drinking anything from sundown the night before until nightfall of that day.
My kids don't seem to mind the lack of meat for dinner. Jack (type B ) is always perfectly happy to subsist on grains and dairy- the challenge is to get him to eat fruits and veggies. Hannah usually feels better with meat for dinner, but has been doing perfectly fine with eggs, fish, and dairy. She just needs to make sure she gets enough vegetables and protein, and she doesn't have any noticeable reactions to "avoid" dairy products.
As an O nonnie, I need a lot of animal protein to maintain normal function. While I do well on fish and eggs, I also need red meat to feel my best. Needless to say, I haven't been feeling my best this week. I made sure to eat meat every day the prior week, and less fish than usual, to help prepare me for a week without red meat or poultry. But I still couldn't feel satisfied on the first "meatless day" until I ate some cheese, which I'm not supposed to be eating. Too much cheese makes me stuffed up and it can also make me irritable.
After the first day sent me reaching for "avoid" cheeses such as mozzarella and Muenster, I began eating chevre BEFORE the cravings got the better of me. Chevre isn't listed on my SWAMI at all. I could say "It's an avoid for O nonnies, and I'm an O nonnie, so it's an avoid for me." Indeed, that's the stance I take most of the year. But goat dairy has always been easier on my system than cow dairy, so I figured it's my best bet right now. I then decided to look up how chevre is made, and compare that to the cheeses on my neutral and beneficial lists. It's cultured and then strained, not cooked, making it closer to quark cheese than any other cheese on my dairy list. Quark is a "beneficial" food for me. If the cheese is cultured, strained, then cooked in any way, it would make the chevre more like cottage cheese, which is neutral.
I'm still not sure how I feel about consuming chevre on a regular basis, but for this week, I think it's my best choice. Remaining unsatisfied isn't a realistic option either. I'm feeling stuffed up right now, but I don't know if that's from the chevre or a continued reaction from the cow's milk cheeses I ate a few days ago.
For Shabbos, when meat consumption is permitted, I plan to eat meat for most, if not all, of my meals. Normally we make fish and salad for Saturday's lunch, but this week we're serving cold cuts with the salads instead. I'm not doing this to be hedonistic or to have a "meat fest" which would be inappropriate at this time of year; I'm simply making enjoyable Shabbos food while also ensuring that I nourish my body with what it needs to make it through the rest of the week, including the upcoming fast.

In the alleys behind the San Francisco Chronicle building, an unusual part of town where capital-rich startups flank skeezy porn shops and dollar stores, an experiment was going on. Music from DJs accented the sounds of a warm Saturday afternoon, accompanying 23 interactive project mockups that lined the streets and sidewalks, each representing an early stage of what its creators imagined could become a viral improvement to neighborhoods and cities across the country and the world.
This was the second-ever Urban Prototyping Festival (the first was held in Singapore earlier this year), a one-day event that was the culmination of several months of open-call development, plus a weekend-long makeathon contest.
"[The projects] have all been created, from the ground up, in the last two months," said Jake Levitas, research director for the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, which instigated the festival and enlisted the help of six other organizations. "Everything's going to disappear as quickly as it appeared. At 10 p.m., it'll be gone."...

Draft boards: Not just for nerds
Draft boards: Not just for nerds
By Mike Wilkening (firstname.lastname@example.com)
June 3, 2005
Updated at 12:20 p.m. EDT, June 3, 2005
At PFW, we spend much of June getting ready for July and August. So some of the editors took time Thursday afternoon to write fantasy football reports to be unveiled on our Web site in the coming weeks. Every once in a while we'd steal glances at the televisions at our desks. Most were tuned to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and I know what you're thinking  nerds watching nerds.
Some may believe it's too early to start thinking about fantasy football, but I disagree. I tend to think this is the right time to start your analysis for the upcoming season, particularly if you're in a competitive league.
A good first step is simply ranking your top players. I've found that creating my own draft board pays dividends on draft day. I make decisions with more quickness and more confidence, for I know whom I like  and whom I'll gladly allow to slide to another owner.
So here's my first crack at a draft board. I've ranked my top 60 players, regardless of position and regardless of where I believe they will be selected on draft day. (Obviously, style your board to your needs and preferences.) I used the 2005 PFW/CBS SportsLine.com Fantasy Football Guide, which will be in stores later in June, as a reference. I have made some notes at various points on my board to highlight particularly intriguing players. Again, these are my rankings, not the consensus of the editors:
1. Colts QB Peyton Manning
2. Chiefs RB Priest Holmes
3. Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson
4. Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander
5. Colts RB Edgerrin James  Not a great red-zone back, but he's likely to approach 2,000 total yards. A safe pick.
6. Raiders WR Randy Moss
7. Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper
8. Packers RB Ahman Green
9. Saints RB Deuce McAllister
10. Patriots RB Corey Dillon
11. Bills RB Willis McGahee
12. Bengals RB Rudi Johnson
13. Eagles WR Terrell Owens
14. Colts WR Marvin Harrison
15. Redskins RB Clinton Portis  Colleague Jeff Reynolds and I have talked about where to draft Portis. I initially said I would draft him in the top 10 without blinking, but as I kept editing this board, he kept falling and falling …
16. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb
17. Texans RB Domanick Davis  Such a big scorer down the stretch a season ago, but such a drag early in the campaign.
18. Cowboys RB Julius Jones  Scored a touchdown per game in his last seven starts of 2004.
19. Rams WR Torry Holt
20. Ravens RB Jamal Lewis
21. Rams RB Steven Jackson  He was the only running back with more than 100 carries to gain 5.0 yards per tote.
22. Lions RB Kevin Jones
23. Jets RB Curtis Martin
24. Raiders RB LaMont Jordan
25. Packers WR Javon Walker
26. Bengals WR Chad Johnson
27. Colts WR Reggie Wayne  He must be considered as a No. 1 wideout in all leagues.
28. Chiefs QB Trent Green
29. Giants RB Tiki Barber
30. Packers QB Brett Favre
31. Saints WR Joe Horn
32. Chargers TE Antonio Gates  The best of a strong TE group. Unless you prefer …
33. Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez  … this guy.
34. Broncos RB Tatum Bell
35. Eagles RB Brian Westbrook
36. Vikings WR Nate Burleson  I will be stunned if he doesn't score 10 touchdowns.
37. Seahawks WR Darrell Jackson
38. Texans WR Andre Johnson  I would be leery of drafting him as a No. 1 wideout; I'm just not confident that QB David Carr will get the pass protection he needs to be productive.
39. Titans RB Chris Brown
40. Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown
41. Steelers WR Hines Ward
42. Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck
43. Rams QB Marc Bulger
44. Lions WR Roy Williams
45. Raiders QB Kerry Collins  Can you trust him to be consistent for a full season? That is the question to answer before draft day. I still haven't sorted it out.
46. Falcons QB Michael Vick
47. Buccaneers WR Michael Clayton
48. Broncos WR Ashley Lelie
49. Patriots QB Tom Brady
50. Falcons RB Warrick Dunn
51. Dolphins WR Chris Chambers
52. Jaguars RB Fred Taylor  I had him ranked 10 spots higher on my initial board, but after further review, that was a little too lofty for him as he recovers from offseason knee surgery. However, I am reluctant to pull him from my board; if healthy, he's the most talented back on the roster  and better than any available veteran back. Kudos to reader Rick Dise of Columbus, Ohio, for sending his thoughts on the Taylor issue this morning.
53. Saints QB Aaron Brooks  Maligned, but you can win with him.
54. Buccaneers RB Cadillac Williams
55. Raiders WR Jerry Porter
56. Titans WR Drew Bennett
57. Colts WR Brandon Stokley  According to our yardage-league rankings, he was the 11th-most productive wideout last season. Underrated.
58. Giants WR Plaxico Burress
59. Colts TE Dallas Clark
60. Bears WR Muhsin Muhammad

manned lunar mission doesn't have to mean a landing. It could just be their normal orbital vehicle on a figure eight trajectory around the moon.
Yes, what annoys me is that the US news media keeps talking about China's plans to put humans on the Moon but they never provide any references. It's never "the Minister Of Space said," or some other quote from a respectable source, it's just stated as fact.
Whenever official Chinese sources are quoted as talking about a human spaceflight program they say their plans are to build their own LEO space station, not lunar missions. As far as I'm aware there has never been any official statement of a human lunar program - and currently they simply don't have the boosters to do it and so far they haven't announced any plans to build launch vehicles capable of taking humans to the Moon.
There's simply no Asian space race to the Moon, despite how much the US media wants one.
Before this thread is filled with vile racist posts, let me first congratulate China on the launch of its 2nd moon surveyor, Chang Er 2.
I know that this message will be modded down because a lot of people hate China for some reasons.
I can't really recall Slashdot being a forum for overt racism in the past.
I know that this post will be modded down because I am invoking the Principal of Reverse Psychology.
You're going to be modded down because it's 'principle', not 'principal', you oaf.
What happened during the last year? I seem to be under the impression that it intensified to silly levels only during the last year...
Anyway, here's hoping that when anybody puts a lander on the moon, there will be a webcam with live view provided (hey, it won't change much, image once every few minutes will be more than enough). And when some rover - the video stream used for teleoperation will be likewise available on the web.
Note that China is a nation, not a race -- is it possible that some China-haters might actually hate China not because OMFG THEY R TEH YELLLOOWWWW!!!, but because of things China has done/continues to do that they find morally repugnant?

Nope. Xenophobia and righteous indignation are both factors, but not they main ones. If so, there would be just as much angst over less powerful nations where people look and think differently. And also, we wouldn't be discussing China's moon program; we'd be discussing how to use our diplomatic and economic inf
There are certain pieces of information that are common knowledge in certain groups.
For example, everyone in the slashdot audience knows that the RIAA is a lawsuit factory, that Iran is renowned for human rights abuses, and that TCP/IP is the language of the internet.
The rudeness of demanding citations rises in direct proportion to the product of the commonality of said knowledge and its obviousness, and in inverse proportion to the square of its incredulity.
Never mind half their population live on $1 a day!
Yes, and there are beggars in every country on this planet, let all countries stop their space program right this moment.
Nevermind that the entire Chang'e space program cost less than a single Space Shuttle launch.
But go ahead with the China bashing, you will get modded up no matter what.
Yes, because having a space program has no positive impact on the research and manufacturing in China. High tech industries won't help improve conditions for at least some Chinese workers. Those people would be better off if they had not bothered getting an education and gone to work in some textile factory or assembling iPods instead.
Never mind half their population live on $1 a day!
True or not, it doesn't matter.
The real question is what does that buy? I know many Americans who make $100 a day and still can't make ends meet.
"Chinese" is a nationality. It is not a race. There are people of many races who are Chinese.
Racism can't arise when we aren't dealing with a race!
"Chinese" is a nationality. It is not a race. There are people of many races who are Chinese.
Quite true, but many racists in America use "Chinese" to mean "any o' them thar yellar people."
"Jew" is not a race either. Historically, the term "racist" had a broader and somewhat incorrect meaning, but this is English we're talking about, not Lojban.

Strawman much? Most criticism of China these days is culturally and politically motivated, and whether you agree with any of it or not, has nothing whatsoever to do with race.
The atrocities of racism in the past would have been explained by the dominant society as "culturally and politically motivated".
a lot of people hate China for some reasons
Who hates the PRC? If America were to offer me the world on a silver platter, I'd take it, too; the PRC is just doing what nations do. Now those Americans who are lining up to give everything America has away? Those Americans who are sacrificing the future of the American people and our country to make a fast buck today?
Them I don't like.
The truly infuriating thing is that those particular Americans - Corporate America's owners and operators - are "the right", and our right claims "patriotism" as one
With perfecting automatic rendezvouz, one doesn't really need large/rarely used/exceedingly expensive (vs. almost assembly-line manufactured, efficient in "kg to LEO per cost", not launch) booster. Also, chief scientist of their lunar exploration program is an outspoken supporter of manned exploration.
While there may be no official word. The fact that they created a copy of the Vehicle Assembly Building indicates that they are prepared to work on lunar capable, Saturn V sized boosters when the need arises.
The article below, while saying China is pulling away from India, still lists china as only getting a moon rock sample in 2017. That is an unmanned mission. China has pledged to put a man on the moon by 2025.
But I suspect China and India are racing for 2020.
http://www.peopleforum.cn/viewthread.php?tid=40438 [peopleforum.cn]
I think China is on schedule:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1653384&cid=32219866 [slashdot.org]
Chang'e 2 - 2010, second lunar orbiter
Chang'e 3 - 2013, lunar lander
Chang'e 4 - 2017, return lunar sample to earth
Yes, it seems the manned mission is 2020. Articles refer to China state media.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100910/sc_afp/chinaspacemoon [yahoo.com]
It's questionable whether that is a landing mission or whether the landing missing is 2025.
Thanks to self-interested politicians like Utah's Orrin Hatch [nasawatch.com] and others who'd rather fatten up on pork [nytimes.com], China has a viable space program, while the US just has a money sink that keeps corporations flush in fat lobbying budgets.
"Auf deutsch und auf englisch
kenn' ich den Countdown.
Jetzt lern' ich chinesisch!"
sagt Wernher von Braun.
"US just has a money sink..."
Obama recently cancelled a big chunk of Nasa's human space exploration program. Does that make you happier?
The space program, like most big budget government programs, is by definition a lobby-driven money sink and always has been. However, it has accomplished some great things nonetheless.
What's more, how is it somehow OK to budget a trillion or two we don't have for corporate bailouts and healthcare entitlement pork, yet we can't afford $5B/year to keep Constellation going?
I love it when any nation does ambitious explorations like this, to progress and promote their general state of science and technology.
I just hope they release any findings freely - I do dislike the idea of scientific projects where most of the results end up state/company secrets.

If Mankind can return during my lifetime, I'll be delighted. I don't particularly care which section of Mankind leads the way - I'll rejoice with them when we venture out again.
Think what we could accomplish if we all worked together? Maybe someday we could get out of our own back yard.
Yes, you missed the iconoclastic, exhaustive list of possible objection vectors.
Anything I missed?
We have to attack them now as they are weaponising the moon.
Considering that its taken NASA 30 years to get over the first one, and we're still recovering, the last thing we need is another one.
Space races lead to expensive one-off architectures that achieve their goal but are too expensive to be used for much else. NASA needs to learn how to develop flexible systems that can be revised and re-purposed with minimal modifications, short time-frames, and within the historical post-Apollo budget.
I fear if we got in another space race with China, we'd achieve more flag
It has already happened. The USA sent a number of men to the moon.
And a great many of us were not alive when this happened. Along with GPP, I'd like to see another man on the Moon. Yes, the United States did it. Yes, we Americans briefly touched greatness. Yes, we took our first baby steps out into the next great frontier and the only real long term future for humanity. And then, like frightened or chastised children, we fled back to the safety of our mother's skirt and have remained there ever since.
I am not discounting at all the greatness achieved by unmanned exploratory missions. I think they are some of the finest achievements of humankind (We've sent probes out of the solar system!). But, I can't help but feel a thrill that some humans somewhere on the planet are actively working towards once again stepping away from our mother. And I wouldn't be able to help feeling some measure of pride to see that happen again. And I would be even more proud to see humans take further steps out into the solar system.
And, I couldn't care less if they are speaking Chinese when they do it.
It has already happened.
1) I wasn't even born then. It's completely different experience being able to follow the whole endeavour - live - from the beginning, I imagine.
2) Now we have way better AV equipment.
I'd like to see it, too, but for different reasons.
The U.S. ventured out to the Moon in the late 1960s. Afterwards, they got hung up in Earth orbit with Skylab and the Space Shuttle, doing scientific experiments and hoping to find something interesting to get private industry involved ("make pure crystals in zero G!"). Generally speaking, private industry didn't care except for some of the medical research. But since the Apollo missions, NASA hasn't done much with the Moon.
Hopefully, someone else will.
They finished probing the first moon already?
Is that the one with the likeness of a jumping mouse on? (The Freman call it Muad'dib)
I hope this is the kick in the pants the US needs to restart out space program. I was saddened when NASA got 'demoted.' It felt like we lost something. I dont know.
I disagree, they're more private companies doing space in the US today you can't just look at NASA and come to the conclusion that space travel in the US is dead.
Not to discount the efforts of such companies, but I will be ready to get really excited about them and see the hope they offer when they actually put a person into orbit.
I'm sure it's coming, and I'm waiting, but I have a hard time getting excited about it until it happens. There won't be much, if any, profit from space for quite some time, and it's kind of hard to imagine modern corporations, with their short-sightedness and desire for immediate return, to actually commit and go through with such a huge i

Seriously though, doesn't it worry anyone that most of the other big countries are more interested in space-related projects than the United States or Europe is? With all of China's plans, and the United States cutting it's space programs, you have to wonder where this will take us in the long term. Space is humanity's final frontier, yet Americans seem to be wholly uninterested in space travel, as do Europeans. Talking to most people on either side of the pond usually results in a "Space t

Honestly, my hope is that the strides being made by China and India into space will spark the US into action to become competitive again. However, I am fully aware that given the current state of US politics and politicians that is so incredibly unlikely. Things like this spurring the US into action reminds me of Merry and Pip trying to spur the Ents into action in LOTR... except that with the USA there won't be a sudden realization that the battle needs to be fought until Mordor is already long since lost.
And that's what I get for posting without sufficient coffee in my system... I meant of course Middle Earth

Carbon Nanotubes and Spongy Polymer Help Transistors Stretch 17
MTorrice writes "To make future displays that roll, bend, and stretch, electronics makers need the circuits that control the pixels to be elastic. In particular, they need flexible transistors. Now researchers have combined a carbon nanotube mesh with a spongy ionic polymer to build super-stretchy transistors. The scientists can pull the devices to lengths 57% greater than their resting length without disrupting performance."
