USA-193, also known as NRO launch 21 (NROL-21 or simply L-21), was a U.S. military reconnaissance satellite (radar imaging) launched on 14 December 2006.[2] It was the first launch conducted by the United Launch Alliance.[3] Owned by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the craft's precise function and purpose were classified.
The satellite malfunctioned shortly after deployment and was intentionally destroyed 14 months later on 21 February 2008 by a modified SM-3 missile fired from the warship USS Lake Erie, stationed west of Hawaii.[4][5] The event highlighted growing distrust between the U.S. and China, and was viewed by some to be part of a wider "space race" involving the U.S., China, and Russia.[6]
It was the first launch by United Launch Alliance since it was formed in December 2006, and the first Delta II launch since ULA acquisition.
USA-193 was part of the NRO's Future Imagery Architecture, which was begun in 1997 to produce a fleet of inexpensive reconnaissance satellites, but has become the agency's most spectacular failure.[7] USA-193 was initially developed by Boeing, which won the contract in 1999, beating out Lockheed Martin with proposals for innovative electro-optics and radar. But after cost overruns, delays, and parts failures, NRO sent the contract to Lockheed, which built USA-193 around the Boeing radar design.[7] Lockheed Martin and Boeing both supported the launch, the first in the joint effort known as the United Launch Alliance.[8]
USA-193 weighed about 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg),[1] with a body thought to be 15 feet (5 m) long and 8 feet (2 m) wide, estimates based on the maximal Delta II payload. With the radar antenna extended, USA-193 was about the size of a basketball court (~30 × 15 m).[9]
Launch data[edit]
- Launched: 14 December 2006 at 21:00:00 UTC[2]
- Launch vehicle: United Launch Alliance Delta II-7920 rocket[10]
- Launch site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, United States[2]
- Launch facility: Space Launch Complex 2W[11]
- Orbit data: not officially available, as spy satellites often change position and do not have regular orbits.[12] Reported by amateur observers to be (perigee, apogee, inclination):
Malfunction and orbital decay[edit]
The satellite entered orbit, but lost contact with the ground within hours.[1]
In late January 2008, reports from anonymous U.S. officials indicated a U.S. spy satellite, later confirmed as USA-193,[1] was in a deteriorating orbit and was expected to crash onto Earth within weeks.[16][17] This came as no surprise to amateur satellite watchers, who had been predicting the deorbit of the satellite for some time.[18]
Hazardous materials on-board[edit]
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports indicate that the satellite contained the hazardous materials hydrazine and beryllium.[19] Though there was some speculation that the satellite might have a "nuclear" power core,[20] i.e. a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, the FEMA report indicates otherwise.
On 29 January 2008 an Associated Press story quoted a U.S. Air Force general as saying that contingency plans were being made, since intact pieces of the satellite "might re-enter into the North American area".[21]
In respecting the Liability Convention, the United States vowed to pay for any damage or destruction caused by their failed satellite.[22]
Planning for the destruction of USA-193 with a missile reportedly began on 4 January 2008, with President Bush approving the plan on February 12,[23] at an expected cost of $40 million to $60 million.[24] The task force had as its goal to "rupture the fuel tank to dissipate the approximately 1,000 pounds (453 kg) of hydrazine, a hazardous fuel, which could pose a danger to people on Earth, before it entered into Earth's atmosphere".[25]
On 14 February 2008, U.S. officials announced the plan to destroy USA-193 before atmospheric reentry, stating that the intention was "saving or reducing injury to human life". They said that if the hydrazine tank fell to Earth, it "could spread a toxic cloud roughly the size of two football fields".[26] General James Cartwright confirmed that the United States Navy was preparing to launch an SM-3 missile to destroy the satellite, at an altitude of 130 nautical miles (240 km), shortly before it entered Earth's atmosphere.[1]
On February 21, 03:26 GMT an SM-3 missile was fired from the Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser USS Lake Erie and intercepted USA-193 about 133 nautical miles (247 kilometers)[25] above the Pacific Ocean. The satellite was traveling with a velocity of about 17,500 mph (around 28,000 km/h, or 7.8 km/s). The velocity of the impact was about 22,000 mph. The Department of Defense expressed a "high degree of confidence" that the fuel tank was hit and destroyed.[27] The satellite's remnants were expected to burn up over the course of the next 40 days, with most of the satellite's mass re-entering the atmosphere within 48 hours of the missile strike.[25][28]
U.S. officials denied that the action was intended to prevent sensitive technology falling into foreign hands[1] and also denied that it was a response to the 2007 Chinese anti-satellite missile test.[29] This was not the first time the United States shot down one of its own satellites; the Air Force had shot down a satellite as early as 1985.[30]
Although the U.S. had objected to the earlier Chinese test of an anti-satellite (ASAT) weapon, U.S. officials said there was "no parallel" with that test. The Chinese test destroyed a target in a high, stable orbit, leaving a large amount of space debris in orbit, while the destruction of USA-193 in a much lower orbit would create debris that would likely deorbit within weeks.[1][31]
The Russian government claimed that this exercise was a test of the U.S. missile defense program.[32] The defense ministry of Russia accused the U.S. of using hydrazine as a cover for the test of an ASAT. It also noted that extraordinary measures had never before been needed to deal with the many spacecraft that had fallen to Earth.[31] Indeed, the New York Times had paraphrased Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the United States National Security Council, as stating that 328 objects had deorbited (controlled and uncontrolled) in the previous 5-year period.[33] However, U.S. officials maintained that the large quantity of hydrazine on board made USA-193 a special case.[1] According to General Kevin P. Chilton, when President Bush was briefed on the situation, the danger that shooting down the satellite would be perceived as an ASAT test was brought up, and President Bush made his decision based on the dangers of an uncontrolled reentry.[34]
Other observers dismiss the threat of the hydrazine, suggesting that the effect of the cloud, when diluted over a large area, would likely be mild: "The hydrazine tank is a 1-meter sphere containing about 400 liters of hydrazine. The stated hazard area is about 2 hectares, something like 1/10,000,000,000 of the area under the orbit. The potential for actual harm is unbelievably small."[35] Other analyses, such as those cited by Yousaf Butt, show the hydrazine tank burning up in the upper atmosphere.[36]
Two examples of uncontrolled atmospheric re-entries causing (or almost causing) damage are the 1978 re-entry of Cosmos 954, a Soviet satellite, which landed in Canada and spread dangerous amounts of nuclear fuel from its onboard reactor over large tracts of land, and Skylab's 1979 re-entry, which rattled windows and dropped small pieces of debris onto buildings in Esperance, Western Australia (no significant monetary damage resulted, but the U.S. was symbolically fined $400 for littering).[37] No weapon existed in 1978 to bring down Cosmos 954, and a Soviet anti-satellite weapon (Istrebitel Sputnik), the first of its kind, was declared operational only ten days before Skylab re-entered the atmosphere, and was not capable of directing the space station's descent.
Before the destruction of USA-193, Pentagon officials repeatedly denied that it was meant to bolster the U.S. missile defense program. Six days after USA-193's destruction, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said, "the mission's success shows that U.S. plans for a missile-defense system are realistic" though in the same statement it was confirmed that the weapons and systems used for this mission will not retain their ASAT capability, and will be reconfigured back to their original purpose as tactical missiles.[38]
The destruction of USA 193 created 174 pieces of orbital debris that were cataloged by the U.S. military.[39] While most of this debris re-entered the Earth's atmosphere within a few months, a few pieces lasted slightly longer due to the fact that they were thrown into higher orbits. The final piece of USA 193 debris did not re-enter until 28 October 2009.[39]
The launch of at least one other satellite was postponed to avoid space debris from USA-193. An Atlas V launch hot line recording indicated the debris would delay the launch of a different National Reconnaissance Office satellite (NRO L-28) as "a precautionary measure."[40]

Fire Nova AOE?
Anyone tried this out yet? Seems like a nice boost to aoe damage now that earthquake isn't channeled. I guess you'd wanna minimize nova casts depending on mana though. I guess a decent rotation would be: Earthquake>FS>Nova>FS(2nd mob)>Nova....etc. Can even drop magma for even more damage. Maybe too much for adds on a boss fight, but be pretty nice for trash I'd think. What you guys think?

Jake Robertz might be a new name you've never heard of until recently. I will tell you that you probably have heard tons of his music though. Jake formerly was 1/2 of Knight Riderz. Nick and Jake have gone separate ways and Jake has begun to pursue his solo career. It brings a smile to my face to bring you another AfroMonk.com Exclusive! After hearing his first EP, Something Inside, I was hooked. Knight Riderz the past two releases had gone a direction I personally wasn't into considering how aggressive it got but hearing Jake's new material cheered me up. He has a unique style that doesn't really encompass the old Knight Riderz sound but has a chill vibe that I adore.
Jake's Purity Ring remix is stunning! If you're into 808s than you'll love this tune! Not to mention the vocals add such depth to the tune that you can't help but jam out to this one. After hearing his debut EP and this remix it should be obvious that despite parting ways from Knight Riderz he is still on the right path! We have already begun talks of a possible Afro Monk Records release in the near future!

WAIPAHU, Hawaii — They don't make power couples like this very often: He is a self-proclaimed whistle-blower, the focus of international headlines and Obama administration ire. She apparently describes herself as a "world-traveling, pole-dancing super hero."
Edward Snowden and Lindsay Mills lived in a modest blue clapboard house with white trim here in a Honolulu suburb until about six weeks ago. Their former neighbors described them as quiet and private. Until they weren't any more.
On Sunday, Snowden announced that he was responsible for leaking secrets about America's telephone and Internet surveillance systems to the media, sparking a global debate about Big Brother-style government snooping on private citizens.
Soon after, news websites outed Mills as the woman Snowden left behind on May 20 when he flew to Hong Kong and then disappeared.

Can't believe my exams results will be available in nine days, I am so nervous about it but I really look forward to it! How about you? Have you got your results? As I mentioned in my previous post the weather here is really warm which is perfect for holidays, do you have any special holiday plans?
Summer for me is all about shorts and in my opinion you can never go wrong with a flowy pair of shorts! To dress the shorts up I added my white shirt and wedges. But what I love about this type of shorts is that they can be super versatile as you can dress them up or down (as seen here - Floral & Coral!).

3D gaming is quickly shaping up to be the next "big thing" for the video game industry. It's still in an embryonic stage but "true" 3D gaming has the potential to be an evolutionary step forward for video games. Past attempts at 3D were clunky and uncomfortable, and often times required dedicated hardware that had "gimmick" written all over them (though we were impressed by the iZ3D line of monitors). But we weren't truly sold on the concept of 3D gaming until we got a chance to test out the 3D Vision Goggles by graphics hardware manufacturer NVIDIA.
Using a pair of wireless goggles and an IR transmitter, this nifty product delivered the best 3D gaming experience we've ever, well, experienced. But what really impressed us was the easy setup and the fact that it works with a large number of games. We can't make a final judgment until we put the unit through an extensive round of testing but our first impression is this: We want it. Now.
Third Eye Blind
To be honest, the 3D Vision Goggles aren't exactly revolutionary. It isn't as if they contain some secret alien technology that no one's seen before. Basically, the unit consists of a pair of special glasses with lenses that are capable of "shuttering" open and closed rapidly; the wireless IR base plugs into a USB port and sends the proper signals, telling the lenses when to flicker on and off. Pair this with a compatible display--you need an LCD or CRT monitor (and a compatible video card if you're running it on a PC), or HDTV capable of delivering 3D visuals--and NVIDIA's custom software and you're off and running. There are no patches to download, no hacking of .ini files or special tweaks needed; just turn everything on, boot up your game of choice and prepare to be impressed.
Some games work better than others and there's a handy compatibility chart that lets you see how well your favorite games fare. We booted up Far Cry, for example, and saw that the game was rated as having "Excellent" compatibility. That's no exaggeration--even from our brief playthrough, we were impressed by what we saw. There was true depth of field and the 3D effect paired wonderfully with the lush jungle vistas found in the game. It definitely added a thick layer of "awesome-sauce" to the gaming experience and left Features Editor Patrick Shaw raving.
Are these glasses the future of gaming?
Eye Poke
Again, the technology isn't new but the thing we were most impressed with was the easy setup. The IR receiver is small and unobtrusive, the wireless glasses were comfortable (though Reviews Editor Tae K. Kim, a lifetime member of the four-eyes club, was a little concerned about how people who wear glasses would feel after an extended gaming session) and the setup was relatively painless--everything's wired using USB cables, which made it a snap. And the proof is in the pudding--the 3D effect is pretty damn impressive. Again, we'll have to reserve judgment until we've tested the goggles out with a wide array of games but we really liked what we saw in our limited testing.
What we weren't so enamored with was the fact that you need special hardware in order to get the 3D train out of the station. You not only need the 3D Vision Goggles, which retail for US$199, but a compatible display or HDTV as well as a compatible video card (ATI owners need not apply, for obvious reasons). The list of compatible displays is rather small--certain Samsung and Viewsonic "pure" 120 Hz LCD displays, Mitsubish DLP 1080p HDTVs and Lightspeed Design's DepthQ 3D HD Projector--which effectively means that gamers will have to invest in new hardware in order to take advantage of the tech. That's a shame considering most gamers already own a badass gaming monitor and HDTV and probably aren't looking to purchase another.
Eye Of The Beholder
Still, the added "depth" (obvious pun is obvious) that 3D gaming delivers to the overall gaming experience might be enough to convince gamers to shell out for the full setup. We also expect to see more monitor and television manufacturers add in support in the near future; the fact that an industry heavyweight like NVIDIA is behind this also gives us hope that it can gain a foothold and become a legitimate movement rather than a gimmicky footnote in the annals of gaming history. We'll have our full review soon, after we've had a chance to test it out with more games as well as a chance to see how it works with an HDTV and console games, but for now, we're keeping our fingers crossed that this pans out. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to return to the labs and "test" these goggles some more. It's a tough job but hey, someone's gotta do it.
The 3D Vision Goggles are simple but sweet; we just wish it supported more brands of monitors and TVs.

COLDWATER � A history of crime and a drunken 100-plus mile-per-hour chase to his Burlington home sent Freddy Dobson to prison for 16 months to two years.
Branch County Circuit Court Judge Bill O�Grady told the 51-year-old, "You are a danger to society with your self-indulgent behavior."
Police saw him run a stop sign on Broadway in Union City June 28. He then fled officers, driving erratically on M-60 at high speeds.
At his home, he drove across the yard, got out and ran, but fell down and was arrested.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Chris Anderson said all of his nine felony and 16 misdemeanor convictions related to alcohol.
Dobson apologized, "I have a bad drinking problem."
Judge O�Grady told him in a car chase "anything can happen."
Anderson said the only reason it didn�t was because there was little traffic after midnight.
Dobson will head to prison after chase

Dear Amy: I have a great boyfriend. He's kind, sweet, smart and funny. We love to be together and to talk, just the two of us. When I'm at work and we're apart, I look
forward to being with him.
Here's the thing. He's 43, and I'm 20.
My mom didn't say anything negative about this until he asked me to move in with him. She said that he's too old for me, that he's old enough to be my father, and that it's creepy and gross.
She said that he has too much power because he's older, that he'll manipulate me to do stuff that I don't want to do. He's not that way. I had a boyfriend who got me to smoke weed when I was 14 and he was 16 — only a two-year difference. Another guy got me to drink when we were both 17. A boyfriend who was a year older wanted me to have a threesome with his slutty ex, but I said no.
My mom thinks we have nothing to talk about, but that's just crazy. We talk all the time. It's like we never shut up. We've been together for almost 10 months. We're both really happy. Do you think we should break up just because he's 23 years older than me?
I don't get why it's a big deal. But maybe I'm being stupid. Do you think we should break up? — B
Dear B: I don't think you should break up just because of the age difference. I think you should break up because you're not mature enough to be in any healthy relationship.
I know this because of your history of being "manipulated" by guys, going back to that boyfriend when you were 14 who "got" you to smoke weed. After that, someone else "got" you to drink. You didn't participate in the threesome, presumably, because you didn't like the slutty ex.
By your own account, you have a history of demonstrating the one thing that's worse than bad judgment: No judgment.
At 20, you are still in the midst of adolescence. Maybe this much older man will be a good and stable influence on you. I hope so — because it sounds like you definitely need a real grown-up in your life.
Dear Amy: My mother-in-law just told my husband that she's splitting her estate equally among him and his brother, their wives, the grandchildren and the grandchildren's wives.
Amy, this seems ridiculous. It should go to just the surviving sons, not all these other peripheral people, including me! I didn't have to live through the horrible childhood (beatings, etc.) that they had to endure. Also, we don't have children, so we're punished because we don't have kids.
My husband is always at her beck and call. The other brother maybe visits once yearly, and doesn't return calls.
I believe my husband deserves half the estate — not a tiny portion. Actually I hope she spends it all while she's here, so we don't have to think about it.
It's very hurtful to my husband, who's been a great son, to think he's equally as important to her as a "granddaughter-in-law." Should we bring it up, or leave it be, since it's her estate to do what she pleases with? — This Stings
Dear Stings: I appreciate your strong advocacy for your husband. If you want him to get more money, you should give him your share. Otherwise, leave this alone. Your husband's choice to be kind to his mother is ultimately a very healthy one, but he should not allow his mother — or you — to manipulate him.
She should be encouraged to do whatever she wants with her money, but urged to keep the details to herself.
Dear Amy: "Unsure" reported wondering about her sexual orientation even though she has been with her boyfriend for several years. Wow. That sounds familiar. My father had a wife and kids before he figured out he is gay. It was a rough time, but now everybody is happier and he's still a great father. — Experienced
Dear Experienced: Life is easier when you are comfortable in your own skin.

GenoMachino71 wrote:As far as Kunitz goes, last year, the Kunitz-Malkin-Neal line was the "best line in hockey" (which some people also didnt wanna up)..... so I say it would probably work well again...
you know what makes little sense.... trading for Iginla and playing him on the 3rd line
Kunitz is more productive with Crosby than Neal is with Malkin, not to mention way more productive than he was with the two of them. The K-C-D line should be kept together as long as it's this potent. From an overall play point of view, this might be the best Pens line since Stevens-Mario-Tocchet. Breaking it up while it's this hot should be out of the question.
25+ years of superstars in Pittsburgh have taught us, repeatedly, lines are not usually a sum of their parts. You need the right mix of attributes with a willingness to play roles and defer. A clear, uncontested pecking order is essential.
The point of obtaining Iginla was to improve the team. Breaking up the best line in the NHL does not seem conducive to that goal.
Iginla brings grit, scoring, leadership and speed to the table. Only Sutter's line needs all four. Crosby's line doesn't need anything. Malkin's line needed only grit.
If breaking up K-C-D is out of the question, I'd rather see Iginla the first option with Sutter than the 3rd option with Malkin and Neal. Especially with the show Morrow put on in front of the net against the Jets.
As things stand now, the 3rd line is a logical place for Iginla, even if he's a top six forward. But clearly, he'd be the first guy to move up should (when) a slump or injury occur.

The latest issue of Rosacea Review is now online at rosacea.org. This issue announces new research grant awards, funded by individual donations to the National Rosacea Society, and also offers advice to rosacea patients who are struggling to control the lifestyle and environmental factors that trigger flare-ups of signs and symptoms.
Much to their chagrin, millions of American adults are now walking around red-faced, and many of them don't know why. They may assume it's just a temporary complexion problem, and like teenage acne it will eventually go away by itself. What they don't realize is that they are likely to be unknowing victims of rosacea – "The Great Impostor" – a complex and potentially serious facial disorder that can lead to significant disruption and untold anguish in their personal lives if left untreated.
Unless effectively controlled, rosacea can play havoc on job interactions and employment, according to a new survey by the National Rosacea Society on the impact in the workplace of this widespread, red-faced disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.
Eye symptoms are common in rosacea patients and eye dryness is an early sign of subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea, according to a study published in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.1
A recent patient survey by the National Rosacea Society has documented the importance of compliance with medical therapy, as 88 percent of the respondents said their symptoms reappear or increase in severity if they fail to use their medication as directed.
The Spring Rosacea Review is now online at rosacea.org. This issue reviews the National Rosacea Society's public awareness activities during Rosacea Awareness Month and also offers advice to those with rosacea who are confronted with awkward questions about their condition.
"Why me?" is a question many ask when they find themselves with the embarrassing effects of rosacea – which may include facial redness, visible blood vessels, bumps, pimples, eye irritation and other symptoms if left untreated. While rosacea can strike all segments of the population, surveys by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) have revealed a profile of those most at risk for this conspicuous and chronic condition:
Today's expanding knowledge of the many potential signs and symptoms of rosacea can help unmask this widespread but poorly understood facial disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans. The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has designated April as Rosacea Awareness Month to alert the public to the warning signs of rosacea and to encourage those who suffer from this conspicuous and often embarrassing condition to seek diagnosis and appropriate treatment before it increasingly disrupts their daily lives.
An analysis of hospital data in Tunisia found that subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea, characterized by redness with bumps and pimples, was the most commonly diagnosed form of rosacea in this Arab North African nation.1
While some people may enjoy a drink or two as a way to lift their spirits or relax and unwind, many rosacea patients find that alcohol simply adds to their stress level by causing an outbreak of signs and symptoms.
Insensitive questions about facial appearance can be a double whammy for rosacea sufferers -- the questions may not only cause embarrassment, but can lead to stress that may make the symptoms even worse. Fortunately, however, rosacea patients can usually bring this potentially destructive cycle to a halt by reacting positively, according to psychologists familiar with dermatological disorders.
The many potential signs and symptoms of rosacea may so closely mimic other skin conditions that it has often been called "The Great Impostor." The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has designated April as Rosacea Awareness Month to alert the public to the warning signs of this chronic and conspicuous facial disorder now estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans.
For many parts of the country winter means strong winds and colder temperatures, both of which can wreak havoc on the sensitive skin of rosacea patients. Even those who live in more moderate climates need to be prepared for sudden weather changes that can bring on a flare-up. Here are some tips to help you through the season:
Soothing cleansing and other measures in addition to medical therapy may help relieve the symptoms of subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea, according to the standard management options for rosacea recently published by the National Rosacea Society (NRS).
Many of the factors considered potential causes of rosacea are now coming into sharp focus as a result of medical studies funded by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) research grants program, and the growing body of scientific evidence is making major strides toward defining the precise development of this widespread disorder.
The Fall Rosacea Review is now online at rosacea.org. This issue reports ongoing results of research studies funded by the National Rosacea Society as well as management options for the eye symptoms of subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea.
Improper use of oral antibiotics, including long-term use over months to years, has resulted in resistant bacteria that are posing a serious health threat, according to Dr. Theodore Rosen, professor of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine, at a recent meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. He also noted that alternative options are available that can minimize this risk.
The hot, spicy flavors of many regional and ethnic cuisines offer a virtual explosion of taste in diners' mouths. Unfortunately for many rosacea patients, spicy foods may result in an explosion of signs and symptoms as well. Here are some tips to keep a little sizzle in your meal without triggering a flare-up.
The National Rosacea Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of people with rosacea by raising awareness, providing public health information and supporting medical research on this widespread but little-known disorder. The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.

Larry Page may have no plans to retire in Boca Raton, Florida. But if he wanted to, he could afford any house in town—in fact, every house in town.
A new analysis from Redfin, a real-estate brokerage and search site, looked at the towns or cities that certain billionaires could buy. They paired the fortunes of each billionaire with the cost of all of the homes in various cities and towns.
Read MoreWho pays the top property taxes in the NY area?
The Walton family, with a combined fortune of $111.5 billion, could buy all 241,450 homes in the city of Seattle. That calculation doesn't include surrounding towns and suburbs, so they wouldn't get Bill Gates' house in suburban Medina.
But Gates could buy Boston. His $76.6 billion fortune could buy all 114,212 homes in Beantown. His pal Warren Buffett could no doubt buy a couple of Omahas, but he could also buy Charlotte, North Carolina, with its 280,214 homes valued at $56 billion.

"The two things everybody talks about are rich people and real estate," said Nela Richardson, Redfin's chief economist. "So we thought it would be interesting to pair them."
She said the study reveals just how large today's fortunes have become—especially when compared to the entire housing stock of certain towns and cities.

After three years of school, my eight-year-old believed he hated math. I didn't send him to school thinking that, so yes, I consider this a failure on School's part. I myself am quite comfortable with math; I got all the way up to Calculus, which was required for my BS in Natural Resource Science. I can remember doing my Calc homework as a break. I liked how orderly math was, the problem-solving required, the way the Right and Wrong are clearly defined. My point is that my children aren't picking up on math anxiety from me.
My oldest, who was homeschooled through first grade using Singapore Math, began second grade in his alternative public school well ahead of grade level and continues to be a top student in math. His early-years math experience (and curriculum) was much different from his brother's. My younger son had three years of Everyday Math, which, in my opinion, is a terrible curriculum. He never stayed with anything long enough to learn it. The curriculum jumps around, supposedly so lagging students get lots of repetition (but not all at the same time) and advanced students don't get bored. For three years his only homework was math sheets and reading at home, and even though the math sheet usually took only ten minutes, we had to add in the twenty minutes of fighting about it. And it seemed he wasn't learning anything. When he finished second grade, he was still shaky on, for example, time and money. All that fighting, and it was all a waste of time.
When I decided to homeschool him, I decided to start with Life of Fred, gently. We began over the summer with the first book, Apples. We began with me reading the chapter aloud and going over the questions with him while he wrote the answers. We did it all together for the first two books, a chapter per day. Some days he fought it, but it got better. By the time we hit fall, we continued with one chapter per day, but I began having him read the chapter on his own, do the questions, and then we'd go over the answers together. Again, he fought this sometimes, but it gradually got better. Now he reads the chapter, does the questions, checks his answers, and moves the paperclip to the next chapter, all on his own. If he doesn't understand a question or needs help, he tells me. Sometimes he still whines about it. But he does it. He'll be starting the fifth book soon.
I've toyed with the idea of introducing something more rigorous at the half-year point, but I want to tread lightly. I don't want him hating math. I hope he comes to see it as I do, a useful tool to get to where you need to be. I use math all the time–in recipes, in knitting, in sewing–and I try to talk about it when I do. One day not too long ago we were talking about I don't even know what when I mentioned an Ancient Greek had used only math to figure out the circumference of the earth, and he came super close to the actual measurement. How? my kids wanted to know.
So I looked up the details. My eight-year-old and I looked at our globe pillow and at the map. He said he pictured the equator as a rope around the earth. Perfect, I said, and we moved to our circle rug. Pretend the edge of the rug is the rope. Pretend we've cut the earth in half. He picked two points on the edge of the circle, we tried to find the middle of the rug, we measured the angle, we did the math. Mostly I did the math–it's not easy math. But he was so excited by it.
This is not like school math! He exclaimed. This is math that really does something!
We borrowed The Librarian Who Measured the Earth from the library and read it aloud. I bought him his own protractor and showed him how to use it. I printed out a page of angles (from this awesome site) for him to practice measuring. Next up is drawing circles with the compass so he knows exactly where the center is, and trying to find the circumference using Eratosthenes' method, a bit more precisely than we did with the circle rug. I predict we will be outside measuring the angles of shadows before too long.
I can just imagine if I'd decided it was time for him to measure a sheet's worth of angles just because. Fight, fight, fight. (What's the point? What do I need this for?) But because he is excited about the way this Ancient Greek used angles to satisfy his own desire to know how big around the earth is, he wants to know how to measure angles. And in this way, I remind myself (deep breath), he will come to learn what he needs to know.

All seven CHS track & field athletes qualify for State 2A
Meet will be in Tacoma this weekThe Great Northern League had little trouble pushing through its athletes at the so-called "Glue In" sub-regional meet with the Central Washington Athletic Conference (Districts 5-6-7) last Friday at Prosser High School.A top four finish qualified GNL/CWAC athletes for the State 2A meet May 23-25 at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma.Of the 35 events run, the GNL was able to get two athletes or relay teams through to State in all but six events."There was not one event that the GNL did not qualify an athlete or relay team," explained Colville High head coach, Ty Brown. "In the majority of events, the GNL went one-two."Brown said that for his Indians, the trip to the lower valley qualified as a "business trip where the goal was to come in and take care of business and move on to the next level."Mission accomplished.Phillips leads wayColville's seven qualifiers to the GNL/CWAC "Glue Meet" qualified for State in nine events. Heading to Tacoma this week will be Chelsea Phillips in the 100 meter hurdles, long jump and 4x100 relay team; Malia Luu in the 4x100 relay; Mackayla McLaughlin in the 4x100 relay; Alyona Gudima in the 4x100 relay; Tora Luu in the high jump; Joellee Buckner in the javelin, and Cainan Holte in the discus.Phillips is nearing the end of a superb senior season for the Indians. She finished third in the 100-meter hurdles (16.23). While Phillips was the first to concede that it wasn't her best performance, qualifying for State was the goal at hand."The reality was to qualify and peak at the right time this week," coach Brown said.Brittany Dugger of East Valley (Spokane) won the 100- meter hurdles in a time of 15.46.Phillips also qualified for Tacoma in the long jump with a mark of 16-06.5. That was good for fourth place. In her final event, the 4x100 relay, Colville turned in a PR and second place finish (50.03). Selah won the event in a time of 49.40.That finish puts Phillips, McLaughlin, Luu and Gudima sixth in the state in the 4x100. Colville's 4x100 relay team won the state crown last spring at the 1A level."It should be a great race this week for a chance to repeat their state championship last season at the 1A level," Brown said. 2nd in high jumpTora Luu and high jump winner Lindsay Yetter of Prosser both cleared 5-2. Yetter won on fewer misses. Freshman Luu has a season best of 5-4 in the event. She will likely be one of the favorites in Tacoma."She will definitely go to Tacoma with the expectation of challenging the other jumpers for the state title," her coach said.Buckner, top-ranked in the region among 2A javelin throwers, didn't disappoint. The senior, headed to Western Washington University to play volleyball, uncorked a 128-02 mark on her fifth throw to win the event and was a model of consistency at the sub-regional.CHS throwers' coach Bob Gumm said that Buckner's series of throws at Prosser "were her most consistent all season.""Joellee was able to have marks of over 120-feet and came through in the finals when it counted," Brown said. "She will also be expecting great things at the state meet."Holte, one of the state's best in the discus all spring long, is the only CHS male athlete heading to Tacoma this week. "It's fitting, because Cainan is the only male senior on the entire track and field team," coach Brown explained.And like Buckner, Holte came into the region top-ranked in his specialty. Brown said that Holte had a little difficulty with a balky elbow that has bothered him all season long, but he was still able to qualify for the trip west this week with a throw of 158-06. That was good for second place. A shot at TahomaHolte and event winner Jacob Laird of Ephrata (159-03) were the only throwers who eclipsed 150-feet at Prosser.Brown thinks that Holte has a shot in Tacoma."We feel that if Cainan can relax and throw in competition like he does when he's relaxed in practice, he can do some amazing things. It should be a great meet in Tacoma."Brown said he and fellow coaches were very pleased to get all seven of their qualifying athletes through the CWAC-GNL sub-regional and on to the state meet."Overall, we couldn't have been happier with the performances turned in by our athletes at the meet," Brown said. "We have a great group of kids headed to the State meet and our hopes are to continue the trend and take care of business."OTHER HIGHLIGHTSDeer Park's Daniel Amann won the 800-meter run (1:59.40), the 1600 (4:32.85) and the 3200 (9:59.70).His teammate, Jade Wilson, captured the 110 hurdles (15.21) and the 300 hurdles (39.39).For the girls, Cheney's Sanne Holland won the 1600 (5:27.77) and the 3200 (11:46.90).

Flag etiquette needs improvement at cemetery in Marshdale
I write to you of the American flag near the bus-barn entrance on North Turkey Creek on the Memorial Circle at Evergreen Memorial Park. I called almost two months ago, e-mailed recently and just called again to ask them to please either replace the burned-out light that illuminates the flag, or to take it down every night at sunset and put up in the morning until it can be replaced. The lady who answers the phone says she has forwarded my concerns to the owner each time.

BEDFORD TOWNSHIP ? On the back of each Bedford High School varsity football jersey, where many teams place the player?s last name, the word ?family? is written in bright-red block lettering. That word, and the meaning behind it, stands for much more now than it did last week as the Kicking Mules mourn the loss of another young life.
BEDFORD TOWNSHIP ? On the back of each Bedford High School varsity football jersey, where many teams place the player?s last name, the word ?family? is written in bright-red block lettering.
That word, and the meaning behind it, stands for much more now than it did last week as the Kicking Mules mourn the loss of another young life.
Colton Durbin, 17, of Temperance died Thursday from injuries he suffered in a car crash Wednesday morning.
The Bedford family gathered at the football stadium Thursday night to mourn and celebrate Colton?s life.
Students, Bedford faculty and community members filled the stands at Bedford Community Stadium. As the Durbin family, including Colton?s parents, Mark and Mary Jo Durbin, entered the stadium, not a single voice could be heard.
RELATED: Social media spread word of teen's passing
From their usual student section, students watched with watery eyes as the varsity, junior varsity and freshman football players filed onto the field to greet Mr. and Mrs. Durbin.
The Bedford Football Moms provided 1,000 candles and numerous Chinese lanterns to be lit. Each family member and football player was given a lantern to release. As they floated to the sky, Colton?s classmates raised their hands in the air showing the number three, Colton?s football number.
The stadium remained open all night so community members could grieve there together.
Colton?s accident took place about 9:20 a.m. on Samaria Rd. west of Secor Rd. His 2004 Chrysler 300 struck the rear of a garbage truck stopped in the eastbound lane.
He was taken by medical helicopter and flown to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo, where he underwent several surgeries. He was taken off life support Thursday afternoon. A press release from the Monroe County Sheriff?s Office puts his time of death at 4:23 p.m.
Football players were informed of the accident and its severity by Coach Jeff Wood not long after it occurred Wednesday morning. They decided together to hold a short practice Wednesday afternoon and to play in Friday?s game against Jefferson High School. All school-related events were canceled Thursday after Colton died.
Many varsity players were absent from school Thursday, choosing instead to be at the hospital with Colton and the Durbin family. They were there when Colton was taken off life support, according Michelle German, member of Bedford Football Moms and wife of athletic director Mark German.
The school district sent a bus to pick up the boys from the hospital so the players were not driving while mourning the loss of the teammate. Hundreds of students met that bus when it arrived at the high school.
Colton?s death comes just weeks after that of Bedford freshman Kelsey Koepfler, who died Sept. 21 after she was struck by a minivan while walking along Whiteford Center Rd. just north of the Michigan-Ohio line.
More than 50 schools have shown their support for Colton and the Bedford team over social media. Mrs. German said the Football Moms Facebook page has received private and public messages from teams across the state of Michigan. Many teams across Monroe County and into Toledo plan to show support for the Kicking Mules during their Friday night games.
For their part, Bedford will hold a red-out, dressing in red, at their game Friday. Each player will be given a sticker displaying ?CD3? ? Colton?s initials and number ? to place on their helmets in memory of their teammate.

Italy's Monti steps into Monte Paschi scandal
(Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti weighed in on the scandal surrounding Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena on Thursday, rejecting suggestions that the authorities had failed to spot large trading losses threatening the bank.
Already in need of a 3.9 billion euro bailout, Monte dei Paschi this week revealed loss-making derivatives trades that could cost it as much as 720 million euros (US$956 million), lurching center stage in a crucial general election campaign.
Seizing on the bank's historical links to the center-left PD party, center-right and far-left politicians canvassing for votes on February 24-25 have accused the PD of mismanaging the bank and have criticized Monti for using taxpayer money to save it. The PD is leading in opinion polls.
"Monte Paschi is worse than the Parmalat case. They tried to save Monte Paschi with an amount equal to what Italians have paid for (housing tax) IMU," center-right MP Stefano Saglia said in a note on Thursday.
Monti responded: "I don't think there is an issue of (regulatory) oversight." Speaking at a news conference on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos he added that he was ready to discuss the issue in parliament.
Monte Paschi said its board was shocked by how its situation was being used by politicians for campaign motives before the elections.
"The board ... is bewildered for how superficially the issue of recapitalization of the bank is being treated," the bank said. "The situation is completely under control".
Italy's President Giorgio Napolitano on Thursday described the situation at the bank as a "serious issue" and said he was confident the Bank of Italy would handle the case.
On Wednesday, the Bank of Italy said Monte Paschi, which is already being probed over the pricey acquisition of smaller rival Antonveneta in 2007, was cooperating with regulators and judicial authorities on the structured trades.
It said the new management, headed by Chairman Alessandro Profumo, had produced documents that had previously been hidden from it. When asked why the Bank of Italy had not been informed, the bank's Chief Executive Fabrizio Viola told Il Messaggero newspaper, "You'll have to ask them (the old management). I can only make suppositions. And I prefer to keep them to myself."
Profumo, former CEO at Italy's biggest bank UniCredit, took up his new role at Monte Paschi last April in place of Giuseppe Mussari, while Viola took over as CEO in February from then managing director Antonio Vigni.
Mussari stepped down as head of Italy's banking association late on Tuesday. He has denied any wrongdoing.
During the period in question the governor of the Bank of Italy was Mario Draghi, now head of the European Central Bank.
The Italian Treasury said on Thursday that Monte Paschi had not yet met conditions to receive some 3.9 billion euros of state loans that have been authorized but still not delivered, and added that the Bank of Italy still needed to give its opinion.
A spokesman for main shareholder Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena told Reuters it did not exclude taking legal action against those responsible, depending on the outcome of analyses that are under way.
Monte Paschi shares closed down 8 percent on Thursday at 0.2333 euros, valuing the bank at around 2.8 billion euros, a fraction of the sum Italian taxpayers are being asked to pump into it. The shares have lost a fifth of their value in a week.
The latest deals to be revealed are the so-called "Alexandria" trade with Japanese bank Nomura, the "Santorini" trade with Deutsche Bank and a derivative called "Nota Italia", which several sources said was structured by JP Morgan. JP Morgan declined to comment.
Findings of a review on the trades are expected to be submitted to the bank's board by mid-February.
UBS said in a research note on Thursday that it was including in its estimates a loss of 720 million euros on the derivative trades, pending more clarity, pushing the full-year expected loss to over 2 billion euros.
"Since the bank's statement spoke of an analysis exclusively of three products, the worry is there could be more and that's spooking the market," said one analyst, who asked not to be named.
Viola, who has said the three products were never submitted to the bank's board, told Il Messaggero the management would now open every drawer in the bank for caution's sake. "But I think we're very close to completing the (clean-up) job," he said.
The bank said on Wednesday that 500 million euros requested in extra state aid in November would be enough to absorb a hit on its capital from the structured trades, which were linked to its massive 24 billion euro Italian government bond portfolio.
"The bank is facing some tough challenges as its asset quality deteriorates and this is eroding its capital base. There is a risk of nationalization and a chance bondholders could be asked to share the burden of a bank restructuring," said a bank analyst, who asked not to be named.
The bank had a board meeting on Thursday to pave the way for a shareholder meeting on Friday to vote on a cash call underpinning the state bailout.
On Thursday, Italy's Treasury minister Vittorio Grilli said there was no sign that other Italian lenders could face problems similar to those at Monte Paschi.
"It's an isolated case and I don't see any reputational risk for other Italian banks which are much more solid than foreign banks as regards their exposure to derivative," said Giovanni Fiori, professor of accounting and business at Rome's LUISS Guido Carli university.

It's August. The THI goes up, the THI goes down, solar storms make the aurora borealis dance (and I keep missing it), spinning goes on – currently on the spindle is some Zarzuela's Fibers Targhee, colorway Swamp Story. I love the how the tertiary complements, red-violet and acid green, work together.
Targhee is unlike anything I've spun before. The fiber is neither hairlike nor downy, but rather is soft and spongy. It has a lot of "grab" and can look matted, yet is easy to draft, yielding a sproingy single with a nice sheen. Bizarre as this may sound, it's what I imagine fiberfill would be like were it good wool instead of extruded polymer. There's a thoroughbred, almost an engineered quality to it.
I'm spindling up what I hope will finish as worsted weight for Zarzuela's Late Summer/Fall S/KAL. My silly fingers do want to spin fingering, though, so we'll see.

Spring 2013 brings new lipglosses to Burberry Beauty— I chose Mallow Pink (#19) and Pink Sweet Pea (#20) ($27 each). Both have a similar formula–beautiful, glossy and well pigmented. These vibrant colors apply with a nice dose of rich color which nearly cover my pigmented pink-mauve lips (not all glosses do).
These have a slight perfume scent which fades after a minute or two, and I find that these are non-drying. They are one of my favorite lipgloss formulas for comfort and longevity.
Burberry Mallow Pink is a rich pink coral.
Here is Burberry Mallow Pink applied on Liz:
Liz is wearing Burberry Mallow Pink in this look, together with Burberry Coral Pink blush (reviewed here),
Another look with both Coral Pink blush and Mallow Pink blush:
Burberry Pink Sweet Pea is a vibrant pink with blue pearl. This combination has some edge. Although Burberry has some amazing strong reds, Pink Sweet Pea breaks new ground as one its standout pink glosses.
This is a vibrant, pigmented gloss.
Here is Burberry Pink Sweet Pea on Liz, which is comparatively cooler in tone compared with Burberry Mallow Pink:
Here is a full look, with Burberry Pink Hydrangea blush (reviewed here).
Here are some swatches with some vibrantly colored glosses in my collection. Here are Burberry Pink Sweet Pea, Burberry Mallow Pink, Chanel Courtisane, Chanel Pink Pulsion, the very sheer Chanel Fluo Laser, Chanel Pink Teaser, and Guerlain Terracotta Gloss Fraise a Coquer (this was limited edition from a past collection and no longer available, and yet it's spectacular).
One more, same glosses different lighting:
Bottom line: If you are looking for vibrantly colored, yet sophisticated, beautifully formulated glosses, these are both amazing choices. The colors are brightening and gorgeous.
Available on Nordstrom.com with free shipping (no minimum).
