simsim needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Our client is a mid-sized company working mainly in the woods industry, but are expanding in other areas like polycarbonate & electric materials. The website is supposed to concentrate on the woods aspect of their business since it is still their main area of expertise. Main products are: Plain MDF, MDF, Hardboard, Red Wood, White Wood and Plywood.
Check the following Wikipedia article for more insight on the industry:
The company has more than 30 employees and is located in Sudan, Africa. They desire to promote themselves as an emerging mid-size company who maintain very favorable relationships with their clients that do not end with just signing contracts. Their motto is: Honesty, Integrity, Leadership.
The company is typically an importer of wood products. They deal with international wood manufacturers from Sweden, Finland, China, Malaysia and other main wood exporters.
Locally, they sell wood products to businesses and do not deal directly with customers (B2B). Their main customers are construction companies, wood retailers, hardware and carpentry workshops.
The website main target audience though is exporters and international vendors. The design must convey professionalism and conservativeness yet appeal as youthful and energetic. The most important element in regard of the website's targeted audience is simplicity. The audience are practical businesspeople who might get interested by a catchy design, but will fade away if they got distracted by an overly artistic touch. They need to find what they want right in front of their eyes, and you, the designer, should lead them the way.
You can download the logo and wireframe from:
Some images for the billboard and other purposes are at:
The design should have a reference to the woods industry, but that reference should be as subtle as possible. It is left to your creativity to find out that reference and nicely implement it, but generally, what we're aiming for is a design that makes a person working in the industry recognizes the website before reading any content, have a small smile on his or her face, and then find what he or she is looking for.
Another two important elements are contrast and good use of white space. The design's screen resolution should be based on 1024x768 resolution (so 960px should be good).
You must provide the following design elements:
1) Design style for rollover and selected elements in the navigation bar (make it for Home since it's the Home Page).
2) Design style for the navigation bar's drop-down or flyout menu. (it's left to you to choose which one to implement).
3) Unified design styles for headings, links and paragraph texts.
IMPORTANT: The wireframe is purely conceptual and does not in anyway dictate or favor any design elements or features. You can even impress us if you have a better concept to produce.

A friend forwarded me a link to a blog entry written by Mike Sayers, someone who I always thought was a complete douche and who I studiously avoided, even when my then friend and ex-teammate Todd Herriott was racing with him on HealthNet. Anyway, Mike, who rides on The BMC Professional Cycling Team, wrote:
"...With this all being laid out, I will make this clear; Joe Papp, I am going to offend you. I am going to deeply offend you. I am going to offend you so bad that the state of Pennsylvania and most of the Eastern Seaboard are going to feel it..."
Um, actually - no. Mike, I'm not offended, because to be offended I would have had to have once allocated you some import. And I didn't, don't and won't. But I am taking the time to respond to your blog post with this brief entry of my own, because it's the polite thing to do.
I've often thought that those people who are the most relentless in attacking me are those who most fear being exposed for something, or otherwise feel threatened and are reacting instinctively. Not sure which it is with Mike Sayers, to whom I say, "Vattelo a pigliare nel culo!"

Portland 9, Binghamton 8
The Portland Sea Dogs scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the tenth inning to defeat the Binghamton Mets, 9-8, in walk-off fashion on a cold, wet Tuesday night at Hadlock Field.
With two outs, Heiker Meneses raced home with the game-winner when John Church's first pitch to Derrik Gibson skipped to the backstop. The errant offering capped a four-hour, three-minute contest that was played in a prevailing mist with temperatures hovering in the low 40's.
Facing a Major League rehabber for the second straight night, the B-Mets jumped out of the gate against southpaw Craig Breslow. Alonzo Harris and Darrell Ceciliani started the contest with singles. With Josh Rodriguez at the plate, Ceciliani broke for second. Harris, leading from third, sprinted home with the game's first run when the catcher's throw to second skipped away.
Following a walk to Rodriguez, Allan Dykstra stroked a two-run double to right, giving the B-Mets a 3-0 lead and ending Breslow's rehab appearance. Brandon Workman entered and racked up three outs to end the frame.
Binghamton added two more runs in the second against Workman. After a leadoff walk, Danny Muno zipped an RBI double down the left field line. The B-Mets second baseman scored later when third baseman Kolbrin Vitek let a hard groundball squeak through his legs.
The five-run lead nearly vanished in the third. B-Mets starter Tyler Pill allowed the first five batters to reach safely on two walks and three singles. JC Linares and Michael Almanzar chipped away with RBI singles and Christian Vazquez capped the inning with a two-run single to left.
With their lead trimmed to one, Binghamton responded in the fifth with a single score. Ceciliani stared the stanza with a double to left center, stole third and came home on a sac fly from Rodriguez.
The two-run advantage did not stand for long. Adam Kolarek took over for Pill in the fifth and could not avoid damage after Wilfredo Tovar unleashed an errant through on a groundball from Tony Thomas. Vazquez drove him in later in the inning with a single to left and scored the game-tying run on a triple by Heiker Meneses.
Meneses struck again in the seventh against Kolarek. Following a pair of two-out walks, the Portland nine-hitter smacked a two-run triple into the right field corner, giving the Sea Dogs an 8-6 lead.
The B-Mets took advantage of shake Portland defense to tie the game in the eighth. Reliever Will Latimer allowed the first two he faced to reach, but bounced back with two strikeouts. With two on and two outs, Wilfredo Tovar sent a chopper to third. Vitek fielded cleanly, but his throw to first skipped past Almanzar, allowing both runs to score.
Jack Leathersich preserved the tie game with 2-1/3 innings of scoreless relief. The lefty struck out three during the hitless appearance.
In the tenth, Binghamton's threat to retake the lead fell a few inches short. The B-Mets started the inning with a walk and a single against reliever Brock Huntzinger. Followed a sac bunt and a strikeout, Wilfredo Tovar launched a fly ball to center. Playing shallow to start, Shannon Wilkerson raced back and make a leaping catch to end the frame, setting the stage for Portland's walk-off win in the bottom half of the inning.
Church (0-3) took his third loss and watched his stretch of scoreless appearances come to a close at five. Huntzinger (1-0) earned his first win of the year. Pill took a no-decision while allowing four runs on seven hits in four innings of work. Workman surrendered three runs (two earned) on three hits over five frames.
The B-Mets (10-9) conclude their week-long roadtrip and end a three-game series with the Sea Dogs Wednesday night at 6:00 PM. RHP Erik Goeddel (1-2, 5.52) gets the ball for Binghamton against RHP Kyle Kaminska (0-2, 7.53).

Yet that being said the Rural/Urban thing by states is somewhat misleading. Cause most states are breadbasket middle america with the exception of a few urban centers. Also a unique anomaly to the high industry/ high taxes thing is Texas. It has one of the lowest tax rates and one the highest economic outputs. Many say it's due to buisness incentives and productivity.
Plus the southeast as in NC (Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham) and GA (Atlanta) are gradually becoming more and more important economically just like the NE and California. Even Birmingham in Alabama is growing too, so I think you are a little off the mark there.
Now the DEEP SOUTH, Great Plains and Appalachia are a different story.
Also, I think it's the closest towards perfect equal representation in terms of voicing your needs in the federal structure. Otherwise, it would be rather unfair don't you think?

Update on the Minnesota Senate race:
The Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously shot down Coleman's latest attempt to hold on to his Senate seat.
In all likelihood, Al Franken will become the newest Senator from the State of Minnesota.

There are other sources of irregularity, too -- errors in the counting, either mechanical or human-based. Ballots that somehow miss getting counted the first time or the other. Absentee ballots may take a while to arrive even if postmarked in time, or may get lost in the mail. And so forth.
These things only make up a very small percentage of the total vote... but there were 2.9 million votes cast in Minnesota on election day, so even a very small percentage of that is enough to swing a very close election -- for instance, this shift is less than 300 votes, which is just around 0.01 percent of the total votes cast (that's not one percent, that's point zero one percent.) Even if only one in ten-thousand votes has a problem with it, that could influence the results.
On top of that, these problems are not necessarily evenly distributed over all voters. Often, there are only one or two places with problems -- one incompetent poll worker or malfunctioning machine can cause a huge number of problems in their district, say. If that happens in a Democratic-leaning district, the 'corrections' in the recount will heavily favor Democrats; if it happens in a Republican-leaning district, the corrections will favor Republicans. And (perhaps because Democrats get more votes from extremely poor lower-class voters), it is more common for voter errors to be made by Democratic voters than Republicans.
Nobody is actually casting votes at this point. But no matter how good the system is, there are occasional glitches... and when the vote comes down to a point-zero-one-percent difference, those glitches can make a big difference. This was what happened to the general election in Florida in 2000, although it wasn't quite this close, and in that case the Supreme Court eventually halted recounts...

Argument recap: possible remedies in citizenship-transmission case
On Wednesday, the Court heard oral argument in Flores-Villar v. United States, a dispute over the constitutionality of a statute that imposes more stringent residency requirements on unmarried U.S.-citizen fathers who wish to pass U.S. citizenship on to their children than on their female counterparts. At the argument, the Justices focused on the level of scrutiny that should be used to review such a requirement, as well as on the kind of remedy that Flores-Villar could obtain.
Steven Hubachek, arguing on behalf of the petitioner, began by asking the Court to distinguish his client's case from the one at issue in Nguyen v. INS: in Nguyen, Mr. Hubachek argued, the disparate requirements derived from biological distinctions between men and women., while the residency requirements at issue here have no biological basis. Justice Scalia, however, countered by asking him whether the residency requirements were actually based on the assumption that women, rather than men, would care for children.
After a lengthy discussion of how citizenship was historically transmitted that was aimed at refuting the government's contention that the statute was designed to avoid the problem of stateless children, the argument then turned to what remedies might be available if the Court were to hold that the statute was unconstitional. Several Justices, including Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor, asked Mr. Hubachek whether, instead of discriminating against unmarried fathers, the case in fact favored unmarried mothers over unmarried fathers and married couples "" constituting, in Justice Sotomayor's words, "an exception to a generalized non-gender based requirement."
When Mr. Hubachek sought to shift the discussion slightly, arguing that the statute merited less deference as an appropriate exercise of Congress's plenary power because it involved who could become a citizen rather than immigration, he drew a question from a somewhat incredulous Justice Kennedy, who asked: "[Y]ou want us to write an opinion that says Congress has less deference when . . . it determines who should be a national of this counry than . . . when it determines who should be admitted as an alien." If anything, Justice Kennedy observed, "[i]t seems to be that it ought to be just the other way around."
The discussion then returned to the question of a remedy, and specifically whether the remedy should extend rights to the foreign-born children of U.S.-citizen fathers or instead limit the rights of the foreign-born children of U.S.-citizen mothers. Although Justice Ginsburg "" who argued several prominent gender-discrimination cases "" expressed support for the idea of extending remedies to the children of U.S.-citizen fathers, other Justices appeared skeptical. Justice Scalia emphasized that there was no other case in which a court had done what Hubachek was asking it to do: "pronounce your client to be a U.S. citizen." And Justice Kennedy mused whether the "intrusive" nature of the necessary remedies in this case should influence whether the Court applied intermediate or rational basis scrutiny to the statute.
Arguing on behalf of the United States, Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler quickly met questions from Justice Sotomayor regarding what kind of scrutiny was appropriate for the residency requirement. Mr. Kneedler argued that, based on the Court's precedent, the requirement should be subject to rational-basis review, and that the Court should determine whether Congress's reasoning was "facially legitimate and bona fide." This case met that standard, he argued, because Congress had relied an examination of a prospective citizen's likely connection to the United States. Justice Breyer, however, asked why the government would apply a lower standard of review to the statute than is normally applied in cases involving gender discrimination.
Chief Justice Roberts then again turned to the question of an appropriate remedy for the alleged gender discrimination. From the way that the Chief Justice framed his question, it seemed unlikely that he too would vote to provide Flores-Villar with a remedy that would result in his obtaining citizenship: the Chief Justice based his question on the assumption that "if the Court were to determine that this does violate the Equal Protection Clause, and the Court were also to determine that this is not a case that should be the first one in history in which it grants naturalization." Mr. Kneedler responded that even if the residency requirement were unconstitutional, the proper remedy would be to invalidate the less stringent residency requirement imposed on umarried U.S.-citizen mothers — a proposal which, Justice Scalia noted, would not actually provide Flores-Villar with relief. Mr. Kneedler's proposed remedy sparked a debate over whether the Court should "equalize up" "" increasing the residency requirement on unwed citizen mothers to equal that imposed on unwed citizen fathers "" or "equalize down," reducing the burden on fathers to equal the one-year requirement imposed on mothers.

AMD Analyst Day - Barcelona, Fusion and Beyond
AMD Barcelona is Almost Here
AMD is currently holding an analyst day in which they talk about the company's current status as well as the future of the company. Needless to say many of us are interested in AMD might have to say, and I think you'll find quite a few interesting and surprising bits of information in the slides I have found. I'll provide some comments along with some slides that stood out to me when flipping through the presentation.
Commercial Updates
AMD was definitely touting the benefits of their merger with ATI, though they might be few and far between right now. This slide shows what can happen to market share when you acquire another large company as AMD did. Interestingly, I am guessing that a LOT of these additional units being counted after the merger are actually Intel-based systems using ATI chipsets.
New Barcelona Information
AMD's "Pipe" system described here seems similar to Intel's "tick-tock" analogy describing how their core designs and process technology transitions will work.
A lot of these Barcelona power features have been known for some time, but they shouldn't be glossed over. The ability to independently power the memory controller from the CPU cores, as well as each core completely independently is something Intel doesn't yet have in their quad-core options.

2013-W $100 Platinum Eagle Proof 70 NGC
|Preferred Accounts always

Ask us about how to receive discounted pricing with a preferred account!
The American Platinum Eagle is the official platinum bullion coin of the United States. In 1995, Director of the United States Mint Philip N. Diehl, American Numismatic Association President David L. Ganz, and Platinum Guild International Executive Director Jacques Luben began the legislative process of creating the Platinum Eagle. After over two years of work, the coins were first released by the United States Mint in 1997. It is offered in 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 troy oz varieties and consists of .9995 fine platinum. The American Platinum Eagle is authorized by the United States Congress, and is backed by the United States Mint for weight and content.
Proof and uncirculated versions of the coins are also made for coin collectors. The proof American Platinum Eagles are unique in the fact that they are the only U.S. bullion coins that have a yearly alternating design on the reverse.
Because it may be considered commodity platinum rather than a rare coin, the American Platinum Eagle may be placed in an Individual Retirement Account in the United States.
From 1998 to 2002, proof versions of the American Platinum Eagle carried a different reverse design under a program entitled "Vistas of Liberty". Each year a bald eagle was depicted in a different region of the United States or a United States themed design. From 2006 to 2008, a three year series of designs known as "The Foundations of Democracy" was issued to represent the three branches of government.
All denominations of the proof American Platinum Eagles carry the yearly design. These coins are the only U.S. bullion coins that change reverse designs every year.

San Diego-based DJ Loczi is bringing his "Electric Dream" to Studio 54 to ring in 2011 with style. And after the ball drops on December 31, the multi-sensory nightlife experience will remain at the nightclub as a regular Friday-night occurrence. The electronic beat bash comes complete with videos and projections of the club's infamous celebrity guests, live musicians, aerialists, wall climbers, dancers and special effects all intended to blur the line between fantasy and reality. All aboard, ravers! –MA
It's always good to fuel up before a night of partying and T-Bones Chophouse & Lounge knows this. The Red Rock eatery also understands that we like to eat and drink on the cheap, so it presents a "T-time" happy hour, daily from 5-7 p.m. Try the chicken pot pie pairing with the gin garden cocktail, or finish your nosh with some fried Oreos and a Young's Double Chocolate Stout. All items are $5 … isn't it about time to let your inner fat kid out? –Mark Adams
Registration for the World Series of Beer Pong competition (January 1-5 at the Flamingo) has now closed. Missed the sign-ups? Don't fret: Rockhouse has you pong-heads covered! On January 4 the ultra-dive bar will present the Rockhouse Cup, a second chance at beer-pong glory with a grand prize of $5,000. Teams can sign up (for $50) any time before 11 a.m. on the day of the event. Get your red Solo practice cups ready and mark your calendar! –MA
Bass in your face! Friday night's Frequency dubstep/drum and bass party at Crown inside the Rio pulled it off. Not gonna lie, we were skeptical about whether the particular niche electronic music genres could draw enough fans to fill the dance floor; those sounds are usually confined to a side room or smaller stage at festivals. But by around midnight, guys and gals were happily stomping around to dark, wonky beats from AK1200, 12th Planet, Datsik, Bare and more. When the night wrapped, more than 600 people had made it through the door. Not too shabby! –Deanna Rilling

The Winter 2013-14 issue of Ploughshares. Ploughshares is an award-winning journal of new writing. Two out of each year's three issues are guest-edited by prominent writers who explore different personal visions, aesthetics, and literary circles, with the Winter issue staff-edited.
Dedicated to Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), a former guest editor, this issue of Ploughshares features a short remembrance of the Irish master by the poet Joyce Peseroff. The prose has a particularly international flavor, from Andrew Foster Altschul's story "Embarazada," about a fraught relationship between a Peruvian waitress and an American tourist, to "498," about a soldier caught in the brutality of the Spanish Civil War. Robert Anthony Seigel's Plan B essay describes his years as a tour guide for Japanese visitors to New York, and Jennifer Acker celebrates the work of the Australian writer Shirley Hazzard.
The Winter issue also features poetry by Kevin Young, Linda Bamber, Michael Mlekoday, and Carl Dennis, among many others; a newly discovered poem by Alan Dugan; and the winners of the Emerging Writer's Contest.

Voluptuous Olivia O'Lovely has a diverse Latin (Spanish, Chilean), Italian, German and French heritage. Known for her large ass, she says she doesn't know where she inherited it. "I didn't get it from my Momma," she says. Olivia is a free agent who works for whoever wants to shoot her, but would eventually like to be under contract so she could feature dance more.
"I grew up in Southern California in the Inland Empire," Olivia reveals. "I've pretty much lived here all my life with the exception of one year spent in Puerto Rico and New Hampshire. I was a baby though." Raised by her mother and the extended maternal side of the family, Olivia had little contact with her biological father. "I have been a naughty girl since I was young," she tells us. "I love, love, love sex and being freaky. I love to play with girls even though it took me until I was 21 to do it to a girl for real. That's a story all in itself. I was shy with girls, believe it or not. Not any more of course."

17 Awesome Home Floor Plans for Sale this images was upload at October 12, 2018 upload by Evelyn Gibson in Make Dream House.
Interior design does not have to be a long, arduous process with the right amount of planning and a little work ethic. Whether you have the budget to overhaul an entire home or want to redesign elements in a single room, you can apply the tips in this article to help!
Beautiful art is a wonderful design element. A painting can serve as a focal point, especially if it matches your design elements. A painting can also give you a starting point of where to start decorating with other things.
Choose your colors carefully when you're looking at repainting a room. You want to choose colors that go well together and compliment each other. You don't want colors that clash and fight for attention. You want your colors to blend together and feel natural. Don't go with too many bright colors, or you risk overwhelming your senses.
Try adding plants to your room. You'll be surprised at how much more lively, yet calming; a room can become just by adding a simple plant to the room. A single plant, properly placed, can really set the mood and bring a room together. Just don't forget to water it!
Start with a fresh coat of paint. Paint is inexpensive and can make a big change to a room in just a few hours. Go to your local home store and get swatches. Then, come home and imagine what each swatch would look like, and how it would blend with the furniture and other rooms in your home. Choose one and see how different your room looks!
Repainting a room and moving around some furniture can go a long way when it comes to interior design. You can create an entirely different attitude if you use some imagination and try to plan before you begin purchases. Remember the tips in this article to have a home you are proud of!

A transient man will serve eight years in prison for seizing a Palo Alto police officer's firearm and pointing the still-holstered weapon at him during a violent struggle in downtown.
Ryan Goodson, 34, pleaded no contest Wednesday to brandishing a firearm at an officer, removing an officer's firearm and battery on an officer. He will be sentenced on May 8.
"This was a man attacking an officer and brandishing the officer's gun on a Thursday afternoon in downtown Palo Alto," Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Victoria Robinson said in a press release. "It was a situation that could have gone so tragically wrong."
The Feb. 6 episode kicked off just before 3 p.m. when several people called police about a man acting strangely. According to one report, he leapt from a closed hookah shop through its plate glass front window.
Minutes later, an officer spotted a man bleeding from a cut on his head and tried to stop him. Prosecutors said Goodson attacked the officer, wrestled him to the ground and got on top of him.
That's when Goodson grabbed the officer's belted and holstered service weapon. As the men regained their footing, Goodson briefly pointed the .40-caliber Glock 22 at the officer, Robinson said. However, the loaded handgun was inoperable because it was still in its holster.
Goodson hurled the firearm away as numerous police officers arrived on the scene, prosecutors said. But he continued to fight. A Taser was eventually used to subdue him, according to police.
Robinson praised officers for remaining "tremendously calm and focused" during the encounter, which she noted could have ended with them opening fire on Goodson.
The first officer hit his head on an electrical box and was bitten on the shoulder during the attack, police said. His hands and knees were also injured. He was treated at a hospital and released. The second officer scraped up his hands but declined treatment.
Both officers were able to return to duty right away, Lt. Zach Perron told The Daily News.
Injuries to Goodson's head and mouth appeared to be the result of him jumping through the window, according to police.
Perron said it remains unclear how Goodson managed to pull the service weapon off the officer's belt. Now that the case has been resolved, police may send the holster to the manufacturer to get its opinion.
"In my career, I've never heard of something like that happening before," Perron said.
As part of his plea, Goodson also admitted a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon in Madera County, Robinson said.

Robert Iger, chief executive of Walt Disney Co., got a big pay raise last year.
Iger, 61, who also serves as chairman of the Burbank-based entertainment company, received total compensation valued at $40.2 million in the last fiscal year, a 20% increase over the prior year, according to a regulatory filing.
The pay package included a bonus of $16.5 million, and $9.53 million in stock awards, in addition to $2.5 million in salary and nearly $4 million in other compensation, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows.
Iger's compensation, which is mainly tied to the financial performance of Disney, reflected a strong year for the owner of Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios and ESPN.

Australian Dawah Week 2011
Australian Dawah Week 2011 is a MASSIVE week-long cultural event in Sydney, Australia that will attract 50,000 people!
Australian Dawah Week 2011 is an exciting and important event. When people look at the logo, we want them to feel like it is a MASSIVE event that they cannot miss out on. It needs to be catchy and fun, but not too loud.
"DAWAH" is an arabic word that means "letting people know".
Please do not use any pictures of living things such as animals or people. We'd rather the focus be on the name itself, and potentially an icon.
This will be an annual event. We just want to change "2011" to "2012" next year,

I hope this is the right forum to post this I apologize if it isn't.
I do not know about the DHCP addresses and such. But I do want to hook up my wireless router to my wired router so I can share the same network and connection as my wired router. How do I go about hooking these up? My wired router is a netgear 614 and wireless is a netgear wpn824 if that helps.
I just not sure of what I need to setup or where to start? I have Norton firewall on both not including the firewall set up in the wireless. If anyone could help, that would be great.

The AMD-65 is the latest to Echo1's lineup of AEGs. Not being your traditional AK on the field, this gun stands out with it's unique foregrip and folding stock. Some key features to point out is the shorter front end and folding stock. The front section uses a short ended outer barrel and gas block compared to other AK's. Allowing room for maneuverability, this gun is great for close quarter environments. To increase the control while on the move there is a vertical tactical grip added to the bottom of the metal hand guard. On the back of the gun is the metal folding stock that is fitted with a rubber pad. The stock has a secure lock feature that must be pressed in while the stock is extended or folded over. With the locking feature the stock is secure while in use and still allows quick use if needed.
Constructed mostly out of metal the AMD-65 uses a steel body to keep the weight and feel of the gun very realistic. The inside is nothing but the best using upgrade parts to make this a field ready gun out of the box. Included in every AMD is a MadBull Blue hop up buckings giving players a pre-upgraded AEG.The gearbox uses 8mm steel bearings with steel gears giving the player a durable and efficient Airsoft gun. The piston is made out of polycarbon and has a re-enforced pick up tooth and the second tooth. An already trimmed AoE meshing and a ported piston head with bearings is already installed allowing the AMD to be one of the best built Airsoft gun out on the market.

A Genealogue Exclusive [What's That?]NASA will announce on Monday an exclusive partnership with Ancestry.com to digitize and place online all the passenger lists created by the agency since its creation in 1958.
"This is exciting news for genealogists," says NASA Administrator Michael Griffin. "These passenger manifests will let them see their ancestors in a whole new light."
As an example, he pulls from a folder a record dated July 1969.
"We found this in a desk drawer just recently. It's kind of hard to read, but we believe the name at the top is Armstrong. Who knows, this person might still have family members living. This record will help pull their relative out of the shadows of history. If you'll notice, even his height was written down!"
Other details include age, hair color, and Tang consumption during flight.
Ancestry.com, according to a spokesman, is equally excited about the partnership, which will allow the company to add "literally dozens" of names to its index.
This news comes on the heels of an announcement in January that WorldVitalRecords.com has reached a similar deal with Mexico's space agency.

Release 5.5 simply doesn't work for me. Any song that's already cached won't play - songs that are streaming directly are playing ok. If I have a play list where some of the songs are preloaded, I can skip to any song that's not marked yet and it will play, go back to any that are already on the device and it just sits there. After a short while all my songs are on the device and none of them play any more.
I went back to 5.4 and everything works fine. Upgraded to 5.5 and again it's all broken. Apparently a new bug was introduced.
