EXHIBIT: Cultural Conflict and Acculturation
The Germans in Indianapolis entered the political arena with a rather heavy vote in 1854, and by 1855 they were engaged in a battle royal with the American party, a new party which appeared for a brief period of time. The American party was formed shortly after the decadent Whig party disintegrated in 1852. It was a secret organization which stood for the restriction of immigration, the use of the Bible in public schools, and the limitation of the franchise to citizens well-established in the community. In a relatively short time, the American party succeeded in capturing prized offices in many states, but soon native and foreign rowdies used that party as an excuse for outrages on the foreign-born population. While in the nation as a whole the American party was opposed principally to the Irish Catholics, in Indianapolis the opposition was in large measure against the Germans. The Germans, furthermore, were still largely members of the Democratic party, although the ties with this party were beginning to weaken. The American party was dubbed the "Know Nothing Party" because to all questions that were asked them they would give the stereotyped answer, "I don't know." . . .
The American party disintegrated just as quickly as it had risen. The Germans actively opposed it, and they were present at special anti-Know-Nothing meetings. In the city election of 1856, the Germans captured the offices of clerk, marshall, and assessor. . . . The Know Nothings ceased to have much influence after 1855 in the city elections, but they continued to be a thorn in the flesh to the German-born in Indianapolis, for as late as February, 1857, the Freie Presse still lambasted the American party for its "mad schemes," and in November of 1859 it again vented its wrath upon the American party for opposing the printing of city ordinances in German as well as English, which was an established procedure due to German pressure. The Know Nothing episode closed with some animosity between the Germans and fanatical nativists, but the net result was that the Germans came out of the political battle stronger than before.

Pacific branch library building adjacent to Atlantic Yards site too expensive to repair, destined to close; will it be demolished?
|Photo from library web site
From the Daily News, Brooklyn Public Library plans to sell two dilapidated branches and move them into smaller locations: Brooklyn Heights and Boerum Hill branches on the block:
Brooklyn Public Library officials are taking the controversial step of selling off two dilapidated branches.What's not clear is what will happen to the Pacific branch, a historic building--the first Carnegie library to open in Brooklyn, in 1904--but not a landmarked one. It need not be preserved. So it could be demolished for a larger building that encompasses not just its footprint but the low-slung city building next door.
The two libraries on the block, the Brooklyn Heights and Pacific branch in Boerum Hill, are in need of crippling repair costs the system can't afford, a BPL official said.
The Brooklyn Heights branch on Cadman Plaza West would be sold to a developer as early as next year, keeping a smaller version of the library on the ground floor and building apartments over the existing complex.
Plans also call for the building that houses the Pacific branch on Fourth Ave. to be sold,
with the library moving to a planned building in the newly-created Brooklyn Cutlural District.
The Pacific branch would remain open until the new building was completed in 2016, said Nachowitz.
Or, should there be sufficient pressure, the building--or at least a part of it--could be preserved as part of a larger development. Otherwise, one significant link to the past would be erased. Plans must be approved by City Council.
I queried the library yesterday about plans for the building, but didn't hear back.
New branch
A new branch is apparently destined a few blocks north. From the Brooklyn Paper, Looking for apartments: Two Trees seeks zoning change to allow more housing near BAM:
A developer has the green-light to put up a skyscraper on a marquee spot right next to the Williamsburgh Savings Bank — but the builder wants to fill the tower with nearly double the permissible amount of housing.It is not uncommon, in cities around the country, to put new libraries in mixed-used buildings, as is planned near BAM and also in Brooklyn Heights. It's seen as a way of harnessing the private market--which gets the benefit of added density on sites once occupied by lower-rise buildings--not unlike the way other public benefits, such as affordable housing, are achieved.
Two Trees Management Co. needs the city to sign off on its plan to put 300 apartments inside the proposed 32-story tower, dedicating about 86 percent of floor space to residences when current zoning only allows a max of about 53 percent.
The development company claims putting about 300,000 square feet of apartments above 50,000 square feet of commercial space and cultural offerings — including three Brooklyn Academy of Music theaters, a new home for the Pacific Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, and a rehearsal space managed by 651 Arts — is a far better proposal than the tallest possible structure it could build without a zoning change, which would set aside about 152,000 square feet for arts and commercial tenants and 171,000 square feet for housing.
At the same time, without public vigilance, developers can get the upper hand, as Michael D.D. White warns in a Noticing New York post.
Branch history
From the library's web site:
The Pacific Branch was the first Carnegie Branch to open to the public in Brooklyn, on October 8th, 1904. Pacific's architect, Raymond Almirall, also designed the architecturally notable Eastern Parkway and Park Slope branches for the Brooklyn Public Library system. The New York Tribune praised the new branch for its classical and dignified design. Describing the second-floor children's room, the Tribune's writer went on to write that Pacific is the most completely equipped room for children in the country, with tables and chairs built especially for children. Other features included a rotunda with interior semi-circular iron balcony, fine wood work on the banisters, doors, doorways and arches, a tiled fireplace and wood panelling.From the Atlantic Yards environmental review
Problems soon beset the fine new library. In 1914 construction of the BMT subway system caused structural damage, and in 1917 all of the children's books and one third of the adult books were ruined by the water used to control a fire. In the 1930s W.P.A. workers created a large second-floor mural which has unfortunately not survived. After another fire in 1973, the building was slated for demolition, but community activists and the Brooklyn Public Library worked together to save it from the wrecker's ball.
After extensive renovation, the Pacific Branch reopened to the public in 1975. For almost 100 years the Pacific Branch has served a changing community. The branch, which boasts an active Friend's group, looks forward to serving the people of this busy crossroads neighborhood for generations to come through its wide range of information and recreational resources, its video collection and its innovative events and programs.
From Chapter 7, Cultural Resources, of the November 2006 Final Environmental Impact Statement
Brooklyn Public Library, Pacific Branch (S/NR-eligible, NYCL-eligible). The Pacific Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is located at the southeast corner of 4th Avenue and Pacific Street across from the project site (see No. 19 of Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-16). It was the first Carnegie Library to open in Brooklyn. Built in 1904, it was designed by Raymond F. Almirall (1869-1939), a Brooklyn-born architect who also designed the library at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn and the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank on Chambers Street in Manhattan. The Pacific Branch library is an imposing red brick structure. Designed in the Beaux Arts style, it is detailed with robust limestone ornaments, including a cornice with torcheres and swags, and large consoles over the first floor.From Chapter 7, Construction Impacts:
...The area's prosperity in the early part of the 20th century is evidenced by the construction of the BPL, Pacific Branch, in 1904 at 25 4th Avenue, and the new BAM at 30 Lafayette Avenue in 1908. The opening of the Manhattan Bridge in 1909 provided a direct connection to Flatbush Avenue, which made it one of the city's busiest thoroughfares for the first half of the 20th century. New industries opened in the area surrounding the LIRR rail yard.
The only community facility that would experience a significant adverse impact is the Pacific Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library, which would experience significant adverse impacts from noise [at least if the project had been built as announced] between 2007 and 2009.
The analysis shows the potential for significant adverse noise impacts at the Pacific Street Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Measurements of internal/external noise levels at the library undertaken in October 2006 showed that the library's windows/walls provide approximately 20 dBA of attenuation. In addition, the library is already air conditioned. Therefore, during the 1st three years of construction—2007, 2008, and 2009—interior L10 noise levels within the library building during periods of peak construction would be in the range of approximately 50 to mid-50 dBA. This would be above the 45-50 dBA L10 noise level range that would be desirable for this type of land use. Consequently, as noted in the DEIS, construction of the proposed project would result in a significant adverse impact at this library. This impact would be of limited duration and magnitude. Since the issuance of the DEIS, noise mitigation measures that would include additional acoustic treatment for the library windows on the Pacific Street side were identified. With this measure, the significant adverse construction noise impact on the Pacific Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library would be mitigated.
Historic buildings - - and those having been used as libraries - - should absolutely be preserved / appropriately renovated / declared historic landmarks, and maintained as libraries for the public.ReplyDelete

It is a gorgeous building, but is in horrific shape in the interior. Several years ago emergency roof work was done to avoid a collapse, but all administrative departments were moved to other locations permanently. I'm pretty sure the upstairs meeting room is still off-limits due to structural unsoundness. I don't know if internal renovations are possible but they certainly wouldn't be affordable. The Park Slope branch was renovated (took over 3 years and was very expensive), but that branch was always heavily used and beloved by its community. The Pacific branch never was that beloved. It sits at the crossroads of major transit hubs of course, but doesn't feel like a part of the neighborhood. Most serious library users would just hop the B41 to Central - barely a 10 minute ride.ReplyDeleteReplies
Actually, I've been in the upstairs meeting room in recent months.Delete
It would be useful, of course, to have a full assessment of the costs of renovation, including costs to operate as a library as well as cost to maintain it in some other form.

BY LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a matter of a week, Herman Cain referred to the House Democratic leader as "Princess Nancy" Pelosi, said presidential rival Michele Bachmann would be "tutti-frutti" ice cream and shrugged off a joke about Anita Hill.
The Republican presidential candidate also has denied allegations that he sexually harassed several women and, through his lawyer, threatened to investigate anyone else who makes such a claim.
Now, as Cain struggles to stabilize his campaign, the Republican presidential candidate is rolling out his wife to defend him — and help shore up female support for his bid for the GOP nomination.
"I know that's not the person he is," Gloria Cain said on Fox News Channel's "On The Record." "He totally respects women."
Her public foray into the presidential campaign after months of staying behind the scenes comes as polls show Herman Cain's support among women dropping, further threatening a campaign rocked by accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior.
Cain's overall standing has slipped in surveys just weeks before the Iowa presidential caucuses that kick off the state-by-state voting for the Republican Party's nomination; state and national polls show former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leading the pack, with Cain no longer challenging him for the top spot.
Polls released in recent days show unmistakably that female voters have turned away from Cain since the sexual harassment allegations surfaced at the end of October.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday shows nearly three-fourths of Republican women — 74 percent — now call the harassment charges against Cain serious, up from 39 percent earlier this month.
A CBS News poll conducted Nov. 6-10 shows his support among Republican women had dropped since late October, from 28 percent to 15 percent.
Credibility is a problem for Cain among women. A CNN/ORC International poll conducted Nov. 11-13 showed that majorities of all women said they tend to believe his accusers and would like to see him end the campaign. Majorities of men take the opposite position.
The polls are national in scope, meaning they're hardly predictive of how Cain is faring in Iowa — the first state to weigh in on the GOP nomination fight on Jan. 3.
Even so, the findings of the national surveys raise questions about whether Cain, should he manage to win the nomination, would be able to compete for women's votes against President Barack Obama in next year's general election.
Women have made up a majority of voters in every presidential year since 1980, and while Democrats tend to win the group, successful Republicans have had to win or come close to splitting the vote among women in order to prevail.
In the 2008 presidential election, female eligible voters participated at a higher rate than males — 66 percent to 62 percent, according to the Pew Research Center. Nearly 10 million more women cast ballots than men. And Obama won 56 percent of the female vote, the biggest margin among women a Democratic presidential candidate has had since exit polling began in 1972.
Cain has repeatedly denied the allegations of sexual harassment, though they aren't going away.
On Monday, the former boyfriend of Sharon Bialek — one of Cain's accusers — said the then-couple spent an evening with Cain in the 1990s. That countered the GOP presidential candidate's earlier statements that he never met the woman.
"Sharon indeed did meet and spend time with Mr. Cain," said Victor Jay Zuckerman, a Louisiana pediatrician.
In turn, Cain's attorney, Lin Wood, insisted that his client "doesn't recall Ms. Bialek."
Cain, in earlier statements, said he had seen Bialek "for the very first time" last week when she publicly accused him of groping her in 1997.
"As I sat in my hotel room with a couple of my staff members, as they got to the microphone, my first response in my mind and reaction was, I don't even know who this woman is. Secondly, I didn't recognize the name at all," Cain said.
Later, Cain added: "I don't even know who this woman is. I tried to remember if I recognized her and I didn't."
It wasn't just the allegations of sexual harassment Cain had had to explain.
He's also been forced to answer for his colorful statements about women.
During a debate last week, Cain likened Pelosi to royalty for blocking efforts to repeal Democrats' health care overhaul as House speaker. After the debate, Cain said he "probably should not have made" that comment.
Not long after that, Cain found himself defending a joke he made about Hill, who famously accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.
Cain said he was approached at a recent event by a supporter who said Hill was trying to contact him.
"And my response was 'Is she going to endorse me?'" Cain said Friday on WGDJ-AM Albany, N.Y. "He said it in a humorous way. I gave back a humorous response. It was in no way intended to be an insult toward Anita Hill or anybody else."
In a lighthearted interview with GQ magazine, Cain couldn't resist when asked what ice cream flavor would best describe Bachmann, the Minnesota congresswoman running against him.
"Tutti-frutti," he said, adding, "I know I'm going to get in trouble!"
With voting near, Cain has little choice but to try to fix the problem with female voters.
Enter Gloria Cain.
"To hear such graphic allegations and know that that would have been something that was totally disrespectful of her as a woman and I know that's not the person he is," Gloria Cain told host Greta Van Susteren. "I'm thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said."
Her response was expected.
"Every woman who finds out her husband is a harasser has a hard time believing it," said Karen O'Connor, founder of the nonpartisan Women & Politics Institute at American University. "This is another 'stand by your man.'"
Now other Republican women will have to decide whether to stand by him, too.

Doors Yet Again!
I was in the back car of an inbound Red Line train that arrived at Gallery Place around 8:35 a.m. on Nov. 24, right at the height of rush hour. The platform was packed with people transferring from the Green and Yellow Lines. The train was full, but not packed.
The operator opened the doors briefly, long enough to allow about half of us who wanted to exit to get off. As the doors closed prematurely, people on the train threw themselves, their bags and their extremities between the doors in an effort to hold them open. This did not work, of course.
The operator opened the doors long enough to let people remove their arms and legs, but not long enough to exit.
There was no way that I could make it off the train, so I went to the intercom at the back of the car. I pushed the red button and said, "I'm in the last car and people are trying to get out. Please open the doors." There was no response, so I called again with more urgency.
Me: Open the doors! People are stuck in the back car.
Operator: I don't copy you.
Me: People are stuck in the doors and trying to get out. Open the doors.
Operator: I don't copy you.
Me: Well, I 'copy' you, and I'm telling you to open these doors.
By now, the doors were presumably closed and the train was rolling out of the station toward Metro Center. I got back on the intercom.
Me: What is your name? I'd like to follow up with your supervisor.
Operator: This is the operator.
Me: I understand that. I'd like to know your name.
Operator: Just 'Operator.'
I exited the train at Metro Center and made my way to the kiosk. Another passenger from this train was already complaining to the station manager. I asked the station manager if he could help me identify the train operator. I told him that I was in car 5125 on the train that had just left Metro Center for Farragut North.
The station manager said, "That car number helps tremendously." He spun his chair around and looked at the kiosk computer, which shows a live picture of all trains in the system. The station manager told me that the train operator was one Mr. Willy Love and that the Train ID was 208. The station manager suggested I call in my complaint to 202-637-7000.
That's exactly what I did when I got to my office. I waited on hold for 17 minutes before someone transferred me to voicemail. I left an incensed message and demanded that somebody call me back immediately.
I then started to fish around for any Metro phone number that would be answered by a human. After a few dead ends, I found the hotline for the Metro Office of Inspector General (OIG). I called the OIG on 202-962-2400. A human answered the phone and took a detailed report on the incident.
As I finished up with the OIG, a Metro customer service person called me back. She apologized about my 17 minutes on hold. She told me that there are only two people who take these complaints. I told this woman I had already filed a report with the OIG, but I would be happy to file it again with her.
In both of my reports I emphasized that this is a safety issue. Either the intercom was genuinely broken, or the train operator showed poor judgment by choosing to ignore a passenger's attempt to contact him. I also expressed concern that this train operator declined to give his name.
The Metro customer service person agreed this was a problem and told me she would do two things: First, she would ask maintenance personnel to test the intercom on this train. Second, she would forward my report to the train operator's supervisor.
I requested that the supervisor follow up with me so that I could be sure that this was being taken seriously. The customer service rep said that supervisors generally do not follow up with passengers. I said, "That's the problem with Metro. You are not accountable to the passengers and you need to be."
The rep promised to make a note of my concerns.
Nobody has followed up with me.

Just had something like this happen at Gallery Place on a Red Line last night too - operator pulls up, lets maybe 80-90% of people get off, almost nobody gets on, then zooms off with a near-empty train after yelling over the intercom at people to stop holding the doors.
And just to add that extra dash of fun, it took probably 15 minutes for the next train to show up, about 10 of that with no announcement whatsoever from Metro and the board steadily counting down on all the listed trains.
Anonymous@9:23 - do you really think it matters? Between this and the other such incidents lately, I have a very hard time believing that they would respond properly even if it was an emergency.

Happened to me once on a Yellow line headed to Huntington during the evening rush. I boarded at Gallery Pl headed to Pentagon City and at every stop the female operator got on the intercom and was very stern about people not trying to hold open the doors. Sounded like the regular schpeal to me, but when we got to Pentagon City (a popular place for folks to get off) the doors closed after about 10-12 seconds when not even half of the people (myself included) on the car were able to get off. A whole group of us had to practically storm off the train at Crystal City (and then ride back to Pentagon City) just to get off the darn train.
Now I understood why everyone at every station between Gallery Pl and Pentagon City was blocking the doors and "holding up" the train.
I also find myself rushing to get off trains at busy stations during rush hour just so I don't get stranded on the train again. So frustrating.

Wow. That is ridiculous. Good for you, post writer, for going to so much effort to notify WMATA of a very bad and dangerous employee. They had better follow up with you. I'm afraid all they'll end up saying is that he was protected by the union and he'll end up getting a raise instead of being fired.
People not being able to exit a train at their destination is an emergency. Don't be surprised if people start acting like Brazilians and setting trains on fire after they have had to break out of a car.

Incidents such as this happen much more frequently than these few comments would indicate. Most people don't bother to complain given Metro's complete lack of communication and follow-up. Train operators have been closing the doors much more quickly than in the "olden" days when station stops were longer. One of these days someone WILL lose an arm or a leg and what will Metro do? Yak, talk, promise change and then .... nothing.

The same thing happens in the last car at Union Station (going toward Shady Grove) every morning. About 1/3 of the people make it off the train before they announce that the doors are closing, and no one's made it onto the train yet. Either they need to hold the doors longer, have someone be aware of the rear of the train, and/or make some kind of marker on the platform that indicates the end of the 6 car trains so that people know how far down the platform to go. It's just ridiculous, and it does not encourage the people trying to get ON the train to wait for people to get OFF the train if there will be no time for them to make it on the train. If this keeps up, no one will be able to get out of the train because the people boarding will just ambush as soon as the doors open.

Charles here. I wrote this post.
Thanks for all of the great comments.
Is it an emergency when you cannot get off at your stop? No. That is just an inconvenience.
Is it an emergency when people are stuck in the doors? Yes. And that is what I reported on the intercom.
Is it an emergency when people are stuck in the doors and the train starts to move? Absolutely. This did NOT happen, but that's what I was afraid of.
As a former first responder, I trust my judgment on what is an emergency and what is not.
It's been almost a month and Metro has not been in touch with me. This fact is more troubling than the incident itself. I've seen a lot of Metro employees walking around with Supervisor badges on their uniforms. What would it take for one of those people to call me and explain the situation?
I grew up with Metro. I remember when the Red Line smelled new. It makes me sad to see how far our system has fallen.

Charlie, you did exactly what anyone who has this experience should do. Get the car #, the (exact) time, location and the direction of the train. Make the call to customer service.
A friend of mine deals with these complaints. He said that because it is a personnel issue, the managers can't tell you what action was taken. But, he assured me that complaints are taken seriously. He also said that progressive action has to be taken (the whole union thing).

New York Red Bulls 1, Portland Timbers 2 | MLS Match Recap
HARRISON, N.J. — The Portland Timbers had a strong turnout from their traveling fan base on Saturday, and they rewarded them with three big road points.
Maximilliano Urruti bagged a brace to help the Timbers pick up a come-from-behind victory over the Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. Bradley Wright-Phillips gave New York the lead with a first-half penalty kick, but Urruti struck just before halftime and again in the 74th minute to give Portland its second win of the season.
The result extended the Timbers' current unbeaten streak to five games and improves them to 2-3-7 while dropping the Red Bulls to 3-5-5 and extending their losing streak to three matches.
New York got off to a strong start in the game, and found their reward Pa Modou Kah brought down Lloyd Sam in the penalty area in the 35th minute. Wright-Phillips stepped up to take the spot kick and converted it for his 10th goal of the season.
The Timbers struck back seconds before halftime. Urruti saw he had space and unleashed a shot from about 20 yards out that took a deflection before beating goalkeeper Luis Robles.
The Red Bulls looked to have retaken the lead in the 53rd minute, but an offside call negated a goal that came following Thierry Henry's free kick from 25 yards.
That came back to haunt the Red Bulls, as Urruti struck again 16 minutes before the final whistle after a cross from the left made its way to the back post.
Both teams face short turnarounds, as they have midweek road games on the schedule. The Red Bulls will visit Sporting Kansas City on Tuesday and the Timbers travel to take on Chivas USA a day later.

I want to start this review off by stating that I am a Sammy Hagar fan. I have enjoyed his music whether it was made in Montrose, Van Halen or as a solo artist. The reason I want to make this clear is because it has become fashionable to brush Sammy off, especially during his old band's "reunion" with David Lee Roth. Like it or not, the Red Rocker has released some excellent music throughout his entire career but he often gets referred to as "Van Halen's other singer" in many fan circles. The guy has had a very successful career in Rock, as well as, a solid business career with his Cabo Wabo Tequila.
When I read that Sammy was releasing a new record I was a little wary but at least he brought Michael Anthony along with the Waboritas to liven the party! I didn't really get into his last album LIVIN' IT UP (2006) so hearing that Sam had collabrated with many different wirters and musicians on a myriad of styles got me nervous. One listen online to the first single, 'Cosmic Universal Fashion', started to reinforce my fears. The title track is an online collaboration with Iraqi musician/songwriter Steven Lost and it's an Industrial Pop pseudo-remake of the Van Halen single 'Right Now'. It's definitely a different sounding song for a guy known for hard-driving Arena Rock and it's sounds kind of Dance/Pop and programmed to me. I've watched the video a lot and I like the similar theme to the 'Right Now' video, I'd say the video makes the song better.
'Cosmic Universal Fashion'
'Psycho Vertigo' and 'Peephole' are songs that came from the shelved Planet Us sessions (a collaboration between Sam, Mike Anthony, Joe Satriani, Neal Schon, & Deen Castronovo) from around the Van Halen/Sam reunion in 2005. The songs are guitar oriented tracks with a dark atmosphere to them, everything sounds great on these tracks and it's a shame that Planet Us got shelved for Sam's return to Van Halen. When you read the liner notes for these two songs, Sammy refers to the reunion with the VH brothers as "Van Hagar"…..and I thought only the fans did that! Straight from the '80s, Sammy gets loose with the hard rocker 'Loud'. This song would easily fit in great on any of the Van Halen albums or any of the solo records Sam has released since 1997. This is my favorite song from the album so far!
Unfortunately, I have to take points away from the album with the inclusion of 'Fight For Your Right To Party' by the Beastie Boys. I'll say it until my face turns blue: Why do artists/bands include unnecessary cover songs on albums of original material? Are the out of material? I know that Sam and his band play a version of this song live, I've seen them do it a few times, but it's out of place among the originals. It fits Sam's life of kicking back and partying but I have to question doing the song. 'Switch On The Light' sounds like ZZ Top and, after reading the booklet, the song is a collaboration with ZZ mainman Billy Gibbons, who also adds some vocals. 'When The Sun Don't Shine' sounds like a cross between Jimmy Buffet and Country music and would fit in nicely on LIVIN' IT UP. It's another one of those stripped down and relaxed acoustic songs with great harmonies. Another different style is explored on '24365' when Sammy crosses his brand of Hard Rock with some James Brown, Motown and Funk. It's an interesting song but it hasn't really grabbed me yet. The Rock moments are solid, the harmonies are great but the James Brown/R&B wibe throws me off. '24365' features Bootsy Collins (Parliament/Funkadelic). 'I'm On A Roll' is another Red Rocker that could pair up with 'Loud' on any Hagar release. Waboritas guitarist Victor Johnson is extremely talented (as are all the Waboritas) and he does a solid Eddie Van Halen on this track. Both the rhythm and lead sound just like EVH and the band really jams like 5150-era Van Halen.
The album closes with a 9 minute live version of the Van Halen classics 'Dreams' and 'Cabo Wabo' mixed together. It's more of a low key ballady approach with acoustic guitars and an extended intro speech from Sammy. These songs were recorded straight from the Birthday Bash 2007 from the Cabo Wabo Cantina so it's a cool addition but I look at it as more covers. These two songs are Sammy's signatures with Van Halen, he loves them and so do the fans, but I want more original material. I don't want to write this track off like I did 'Fight For Your Right To Party', at least Sam is covering himself!
Bottom Line:
COSMIC UNIVERSAL FASHION was released Tuesday (11/18) but I was lucky enough to have the album a week early. After repeated listens, my fears are gone because the album has grown on me. I think that the release of the Industrial styled title track threw me off a little but once you get into the album you mostly hear soild Rock. I'm not going to count the two cover songs (even though the VH cover is kind of cool) so, out of 10 songs, the 8 originals have a cool Hard Rock party vibe that Sammy Hagar is a master at delivering. Sam throws a couple of curveballs with the Industrial/Dance rhythm on the title cut, and the R&B style of '24365', but there is enough of a Rock edge to every track to put this up alongside some of his other works. I have to admit, I was surprised the album was pretty good because I was expecting the worst. The record is a fun listen and it also rocks out but it took me a couple of spins to get into it. I like this new record enough that I'm going to go back and give LIVIN' IT UP a few spins to give it a fresh listen and see if I can get into that one a little more.
Favorite Songs: 'Psycho Vertigo', 'Peephole', 'Loud', 'I'm On A Roll', 'where The Sun Don't Shine'

Surveillance footage of engineer fooling $1 billion dollar devices released
Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, June 21, 2012
Newly released video shows engineer Jon Corbett passing through a TSA body scanner with a metal object sown inside his clothing, illustrating how the federal agency's $1 billion dollar fleet of scanning machines are completely useless.
The clip shows surveillance camera footage of Corbett passing through a body scanner with a metallic object attached to his shirt without being apprehended by TSA agents.
Corbett performed the same stunt at both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Cleveland-Hopkins, after which the TSA ordered both airports not to release footage of the incidents.
Corbett's original video concerning how he was able to easily trick the devices went viral when it was released back in March, prompting global headlines and a huge slice of egg on the face of the TSA.
The federal agency responded by tacitly admitting the claims made by Corbett were true. In its blog rebuttal, the TSA concentrated more on trying to downplay the incident than actually addressing the fact that Corbett's crude method of sneaking a metallic object through security had been successful – rendering the controversial and expensive body scanner program completely worthless.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:74}
In the meantime, the TSA actually threatened reporters not to cover the story, claiming Corbett "clearly has an agenda" and should not "be aided by mainstream media."
Corbett is currently engaged in a separate battle with the TSA revolving around his unlawful detention by TSA officers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
After attempting to obtain video of the incident via a Freedom of Information Act request, Corbett was told by Broward County authorities that no footage of the event existed, despite the airport security zone in question being littered with surveillance cameras. The TSA itself then asked the judge to dismiss the claim because of their belief that lying to the public is acceptable for "security reasons," in turn tacitly admitting that the footage does exist, which represents a clear violation of the FOIA.

TECH NOW: Ski gear goes high tech
- Get custom boots fitted to your feet in 20 minutes
- Helmets rigged with tech are standard gear on the slopes
- Latest ski technology mixes rocker tips with traditional camber
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — I am the average American skier. I ski a handful of times each year. I am time-crunched and budget-conscious. When I bought my own equipment, 15-years ago, I expected it to last forever. So when I headed to the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Wyoming in mid-February to get caught up on the latest ski and snow tech, it was not as a powder-hound, but rather as a member of the mainstream masses. I had no idea just how far technology has come in making skiing more accessible, more comfortable, and even more affordable for average folks like me.
The Place:
Jackson Hole is known around the world as a "skiers" ski hill. With a 4,139-foot vertical drop, and more than 2500-acres of in-bound runs, (50% expert, 40% intermediate and 10% beginner), it's a place where people come from all over the world to test their skills on a truly legendary mix of terrain. It's also a great place to test new ski technology, since on any given day there's a vast range of conditions from deep and steep to packed groomers.
The last time I set boots on a ski hill of this caliber, (around the mid-90s) skinny skis were all the rage. It was just a given that ski boots hurt, leaving you with blisters, bruised shins, and sore feet. Only the hot-dog racers and pint-sized-kids (curses, those five-year olds, who blow by, no poles, leaving me in their snowy dust) wore helmets.
Wow, what a difference the last 10-15 years have made.
The Tech:
Walking to the ski rental shop, a few things stick out (and up) right away. Just about everyone is wearing a helmet. Many of the helmets have an action camera mounted on top. Walking along the row of people lined up to take the Aerial Tram, all the little GoPros remind me of submarine periscopes; up the skiers go to the top of the hill, on the cameras go to catch every schuss, whoosh and wipe-out along the way.
Hybrid, All-Terrain Skis
The big story in ski technology this year is all-terrain skis. They are made to ski well in the hard pack, flex through the bumps, push through the powder, and maintain control on the steep. They are the ATV's of downhill skiing.
This latest technology mixes rocker tips with traditional camber – for more flexibility underfoot – and more control through the turns, which means less chance of catching an edge. The idea of one-ski-for-all-conditions is a real sweet spot for manufacturers, who are trying to market to us, the average American skier, who can't (and doesn't want to) own more than one set of skis.
Boots That Fit Like A Glove
One of the biggest tech advances of all is in the boots. I've never met a ski boot that I liked. They've always been their own special brand of torture, an exercise in how much pain I could endure over a day's time. Normally, my shins are screaming by the second run, my toes are freezing, while my calves are covered in hot-spots. Walking in them was an America's Funniest Home Video waiting to happen.
Now, you can actually get ski boots custom fitted to your feet in about 20 minutes. I tried the Fischer SOMA RC 150 boots. Vacuum technology allows the entire boot to mold to the specific anatomy of your foot, by way of a specialized air compressor that fits over the boot shells themselves. The new boots have a walk mode. You just flip a little switch on the back of the ankle area and they basically go from being a ski boot to something you can actually walk in. They also have Vibram soles (of "barefoot" running shoe fame).
But Will Any of it Make a Difference?
With fancy new hybrid skis and custom-cooked boots in hand, we head to the top of the mountain, where more new ski and snow tech awaits, as does a blizzard and white-out conditions. So the big question now, will all the latest ski technology actually help us get down the mountain in a storm? Will any of it actually make me a better (dare I say, "above average,") skier?

For the last couple years, I've really been liking the 5708 and 5909 pickups for those same tones. Now, I have multiple guitars to be able to keep guitars with both, but, I really have a hard time choosing what I want to use in rehearsals and for gigs. I guess there are worse problems to have. What's a guy to do???:biggrin: Neck pickup, I've pretty much decided the 5708 is my favorite pickup with the 5909 close behind. I could change my neck pickup in every guitar and not think twice about it. How have your tastes changed over time? How do you deal with those changes...binge and purge everything to new taste, just buy more gear so you have it all?

Our family is going to be participating in Lemonade Day in our town this Spring, and to that end I've reintroduced the money math unit that we first began some months ago when Willow got interested in coin collecting for a while.
My goal is (taking extra care with pricing, of course) for Willow to be able to do all the math and make all her own change at the girls' lemonade stand--whether or not this goal is realistic, I have no idea!
First step: skip counting by each of the coin denominations, followed immediately by keying the counting to the denomination. In other words, I want both girls to be able to easily skip count by fives, tens, and 25s at least up to 100, to count by hundreds up to at least 1,000, and to recognize that skip counting by fives, say, is the same as counting nickels.
The girls have been creating their own skip counting reference sheets using, of COURSE, our ubiquitous hundred grid. For nickels, for example, one day's schoolwork was simply to count off the fives and color in each five in their hundred grid. The next day's schoolwork (and the next!) was to memorize the fives, until they could recite it easily.
When a girl had her fives down cold, I gave her a new hundred grid, asked her to put a nickel down on each five, and then use the chart as a reference to solve a page of math problems:
The problems are all just iterations of how much a certain number of nickels equals. To solve the problem, the kid can either skip count over that many nickels, or just count over that many nickels, and then move aside that nickel. The number underneath is the correct answer!
Once the kiddos have all the skip counting and coin denominations memorized, I'm going to send them through the math drills in our Kumon money math workbook as well as some fun projects from my Money Math pinboard. And then when Lemonade Day comes around, providing I can convince the children not to price their lemonade at 63 cents or $1.07 or something else that will require a child to do twenty minutes of abacus work for every transaction, I think we may just have it made!
P.S. It's just occurred to me that I should also teach them to count by tens when beginning at 5. AND I should be mixing more subtraction drills into the prep work, especially two-digit subtraction.
Or I could just encourage the girls to price everything they make at one dollar?

★★★★★ - "Review part 1: Inspection. (I'll update when service complete) While they did show up a few minutes late, they actually called ahead to inform me they were running late. Bonus point for communication. Upon arrival, I'm appreciative that there was no assumed handshake, but rather a very small fistbump, due to concerns of the current corona risks. Extra consideration for going in and out of different peoples houses all day. Inspection itself was smooth, they wore booties on their shoes to not track anything around, took notes, pictures, measurements, answered my questions, and even examined rooms that had no visible mold just because he mentioned the odor. In other words, they were thorough. So far, so good."

My kids sneezing less from allergies and that's what important to our family!"
Kirsten Koach, Mold Removal in Boston, MA
★★★★★ - "My husband thought it was a good idea to save money, use the fireplace and turn the heat down. Well our basement got too cold and froze our pipes which cracked. We didn't notice the leaks so it all just sort of got soggy and sat down there. Our basement wasn't finished, more of a cellar so we didn't notice anything until it started to smell, musty like always but super strong. We had Green Restoration come check it out. Since there were obviously signs something needed to be done we had them start drying the area and protecting the rest of our house which they were able to start immediately. They found people to take care of everything for us, even a plumber to replace the pipes. They also helped us deal with our insurance so we didn't make any mistakes on the paperwork or anything that could let them deny us on a tecnicality or something. We are definitely going to call them when we can afford to finish the basement."
Chelsia Thompson, Burst Pipe / Water Damage Restoration in Williamsburg, MA
★★★★★ - "My basement got flooded due to the heavy rain storm few weeks ago. I called Go Green Restoration in the middle of the night and had 2 gentlemen over at my house in the less than an hour. They extracted all the standing water, dried all the carpets and dry walls, disinfected the entire basement and did all the repairs the following week. Fair and reasonable price for the services I received. I will use them anytime I'll need any restoration work in my house. Thank you!"

Homeowner, Mold Removal in Worcester, MA
★★★★★ - "I own a medical office and was looking for an odor and allergen removal company to get rid off some smell we had in the basement. I found Green Restoration and hired them to do the job.
I swear to God ( we had some flood damage few month ago and company who did all the clean up before did not finish the drying part. The smell we had after was disgusting and I was so embarrassed to even tell them why I did not call earlier.) It took them just 1 day to clean the area and I could not believe what I saw the following morning. It was no smell at all. Unbelievable and amazing job Raf!!! Now I use them once a month to sanitize my entire building for as low as $500 a month. Thank you!"
Mircha Sabonis, Odor Removal & Allergen Removal in Worcester, MA
★★★★★ - "We had burst pipes 2 weeks after we came back from the vocation. I went downstairs to drop our suit cases and realized I am standing in the water. We never had such as issues like water damage or floods in the past. I called Green Restoration and was told that the crew on their way and they will be at our house in 45 minutes. Absolutely the best contractor I ever dealer with! On time, no empty promises and the price was extremely reasonable for the work and time they put into the cleaning and all the repairs. I will use this company in the future and defiantly recommend them to my family members and friends."
Damian Carter, Burst Pipes in Springfield, MA
★★★★★ - "My mortgage company did an inspection before the closing date and they found some signs of black mold. I googled some local company and had Green Restoration giving me an estimate for remediation. They sent a crew of 2 people same day I mad a phone call and I was really impressed with timing and customer service they provided. Raf was very nice and answered all my questions. I decided to give them a try after a few other companies giving a quote. Green Restoration price was affordable and very attractive. The entire project was done in 3 days and clearance test came back negative. I am very happy with the result and experience I had with Green Restoration. Thank you!"

Notice Number: NOT-OD-10-078
Key Dates
Release Date: April 20, 2010
Response Date: May 25, 2010
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov)
This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and should not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Federal Government, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and/or the NIH Adherence Research Network. The NIH does not intend to make any awards based on responses to this RFI or to otherwise pay for the preparation of any information submitted or for the Government's use of such information.
The NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) and the NIH Adherence Research Network are seeking input from the scientific community, health professionals, patient advocates, community-based organizations, students, and the general public about current and emerging priorities in adherence research that offer the greatest potential for improving the nation's health and well-being. This input will inform the Adherence Research Network's strategic planning process and help the Network meet its mission of pursuing opportunities for strengthening adherence research at NIH while innovating beyond existing investments.
Definition: Adherence, for the purpose of this Notice, is defined as the extent to which a person complies with the recommended medical and health regimen (e.g., taking medication, following dietary recommendations, modifying habits or engaging in preventive services).
The Adherence Research Network is a working group with representatives from multiple NIH Institutes, Centers and Offices whose goal is to provide leadership and vision for adherence research at NIH. It was initially launched in May 2007. Seventeen NIH Institutes, Centers, and programs within the Office of the Director (including the OBSSR) participate in the Network. Additional information about the Adherence Research Network can be found at http://obssr.od.nih.gov/scientific_areas/health_behaviour/adherence/adherenceresearchnetwork.aspx
The mission of the Adherence Research Network is to pursue opportunities for strengthening adherence research at the NIH while innovating beyond existing investments. Its main goals are to:
Adherence research in the behavioral and social sciences is relevant to the nation's health and well-being. Poor adherence to prescription medications and treatments has been labeled a "worldwide problem of striking magnitude" (World Health Organization, 2003). Over the last 40 years, researchers have observed and documented universally poor adherence to prescription medications and behavioral treatments (e.g., diet change for hypertension, smoking cessation and screenings for cancer). For example, up to 20% of patients fail to fill new prescriptions and approximately 50% of people with chronic health conditions discontinue their medication within 6 months. Adherence to behavioral and biobehavioral treatments remains also poor. For example, no more that 30% of patients quit smoking when advised by their health care providers that quitting smoking was essential for their health, even those affected with lung conditions.
Access to medical care is vitally important but it can lead to better health outcomes only if it is accompanied by patient adherence to recommendations by healthcare professionals. The following specific aspects are particularly important in the context of adherence research and the need to develop innovative methods to enhance adherence:
Despite this need for enhancing adherence at both the individual and population levels, research on interventions related to adherence remains underdeveloped. As documented in a recent review (for reference go to http://mrw.interscience.wiley.com/cochrane/clsysrev/articles/CD000011/frame.html) most published intervention trials intended to improve adherence rates produced little improvements or enhancement of patient outcomes. Moreover, many of these studies included small samples of volunteers, which may have resulted in sampling bias and/or insufficient power to detect any benefit. In addition, most of the to date research on interventions to improve adherence involved studies that were of relatively short duration, did not include clinical outcomes, and/or failed to measure the durability of the effect once the intervention ended. These methodological shortcomings, as well as the clinical imperative to improve health care outcomes, underscore the need for transformative changes in the field of adherence research.

The atheist response to the text of the Bible is based primarily upon the young earth creationist interpretation, which is flawed. If I put myself objectively in the position of the atheist attempting to debunk the Bible I would start with Genesis Chapter 1. The Chapter passed the inspection of this former atheist.
The Hebrew verb consists of two different states. The perfect state indicates an action which is complete, whereas the imperfect state indicates a continuous or incomplete action.
At Genesis 1:1 the word bara, translated as created, is in the perfect state, which means that at this point the creation of the heavens and the Earth were completed. Later, as in verse 16 the Hebrew word asah, translated as made, is used, which is in the imperfect state, indicating continuous action. The heavens and Earth were created in verse 1 and an indeterminate time later they were being prepared for habitation, much the same as a bed is manufactured (complete) and made (continuous) afterwards.
What this means is that the creation was complete even before the six "days" of creation even began, in fact, later verses in the chapter reveal it was more than likely a long time in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.

Like the Bible writers I'm henotheistic.
Where does the bible say that it is okay to worship other gods? Isn't the first commandment to have no gods before Yahweh?
Henotheism (Greek εἷς θεός heis theos "one god") is the belief and worship of a single god while accepting the existence or possible existence of other deities that may also be worshiped.
The bible preaches monotheism. Only one god, only one god worshiped.
All other gods are false.
Sometimes I wonder if you really did ever read the book you claim to be in love with.
I've little doubt Milos, that if DH were still with us (which I suspect he no longer is), he would counter that that particular commandment doesn't preclude the possibility of other gods, but only insists that Yahweh be kept at the top of the list.
God created the sea creatures and birds, but he made all land creatures. The words seem to be interchangeable to me. If I was god, why not just say..look ladies and gents, you evolved. Why would all the revelations happen to be just what a bronze-age illiterate tribe would think?
The English word created and made, I suppose are interchangeable, but the Hebrew bara and asah are perfect and imperfect states respectively. The perfect state being complete and the imperfect indicating action in progress.
What translation and specifically what chapter and verse are you reading?
Same intent, different word. Also notice the past tense. God SAW that is WAS good, as in completed.
New St James Gen 1:21
So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
New St James Gen 1:25.
And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
I wondered what words the Hebrew Bible has. This link has the Hebrew text and English translation.
Anyone read Hebrew?
New World Translation Study Bible: Genesis 1:21: And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.
Genesis 1:25: And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.
James Washington Watts in A Distinctive Translation of Genesis, Grand Rapids, Michigan (1963), pp. 129, 130: "The fundamental characteristic of all imperfects is incompleteness. . . . The incompleteness of these imperfects, when they are in the indicative mood, appears either in a progressive form or a frequentative form. The context is relied upon to indicate one or the other, for the structure of the verb is the same in both cases.
"If the context indicates a single act or state, the force is progressive. The action is pictured in the process of development. In such case the primary idea of the verb in English is not sufficient to convey its full meaning. The addition of an auxiliary like 'proceed' or an adverb like 'gradually' is needed if the translator sees an occasion for bringing out the full force. When a narrative is unfolding rapidly and the sequence of events is more important than the vivid portrayal of progress in some particular event, the translator may depend solely upon conjunctive adverbs like 'afterward' to indicate both sequence and progress. Progress in this case is not brought out fully. There is merely movement from one action or state to another without definite portrayal of progress within the second. The use of this limited translation means that the translator sees no special reason for bringing out the idea of progress more fully at that point. The account in English would become tedious if he did. On the other hand, if the translator sees that the account is enriched by bringing out the full force of the verb, he is at liberty to do so.
"If the context indicates more than one occurrence of the act or state, the force is frequentative. Again the primary idea of the verb in English is not sufficient to convey the full meaning. The addition of an auxiliary like 'continued' or an adverb like 'frequently' is needed to reveal the full meaning of repetition or customary occurrence."
The context is relied upon to indicate one or the other, for the structure of the verb is the same in both cases.
and here the context is past sense.
And God got to see that [it was] good.
Not "god Sees that it IS good", as in progressive....
Your interpretation "fix" is a stretch, like you are forcing a square peg in a round hole, making the creation myth fit the scientific evidence by finding loop-holes in translation. What, your god does not speak to translators so the get it right? All of your work is ahead ahead of you. You have got seas to part, arcs to build, wine to make, water walking to do, raising of the dead. Good luck in your quest to become a rational sheep.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
So is the time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 13.7 billion years? Because if not I can't believe anything else written in that book.
I was thinking "Dinosaurs" but you put the point much better, Marc :)
Marc, Yeah, billions of years. This will become more apparent as I go through the first chapter of Genesis, but yeah.
I think that the skeptical perspective at this point would be that the existence of God would be conjectural. Also, at this point there isn't a conflict with any of the fields of study you have mentioned. And at this point only the first verse of the first chapter have been considered.
Okay, GM,
Fair enough. We can agree, I assume, that from a scientific perspective the supernatural can't be tested, from a logical perspective we can't prove a negative and from a philosophical perspective . . . well, lets not even go there.
The OP put me in the position of the objective atheist examining Genesis chapter 1. I would naturally be skeptical of the existence of the supernatural. Of Jehovah God. However, even as an atheist for the first 27 years of my life I didn't place a great deal of interest or - for the lack of a better word - faith? in science. Being, of the opinion that science was the imperfect observations of men. Much like Bible interpretation in that sense.
Please, reader, spare me the infinite praise of all things wonderful and science, I mean no offense.
What if the evidence produces itself in our continued examination of the Bible. That is where I would expect to develop an informed opinion on the subject.
Should we continue? If your claim of no God in the specific case of the Bible is correct it should manifest itself without dismissing God.
Perhaps what we need to examine, what at this point in the examination could only be a preconceived notion you can't suppress, so tell us why is there no God without advancing any further in our examination of the Bible.

ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli makes in-flight call to Thomas Reiter on the ISS
ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli spoke yesterday with his colleague Thomas Reiter on board the International Space Station (ISS) via live link. The call was placed from ESRIN, ESA's Establishment in Italy, located in Frascati, near Rome. The call began at 21:25 CET (20:25 UT) and lasted around 7 minutes.
During this 'Space-to-Earth' conversation between Nespoli and Reiter, the astronauts talked about some of the experiments being done at the moment as part of Reiter's Astrolab Mission. Unfortunately for the audience in ESRIN a video link to the Station was unsuccessful - the link was with audio only.
ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter has now lived on board ISS for almost five months as Expedition crew Flight Engineer 2. He is the first non-US, non-Russian astronaut to take part in a long-duration mission to the ISS. During his stay Reiter, conducted a series of science and technology experiments, and he worked on ISS systems.
His experiment programme was devised by science institutions from all over Europe and covers many different research fields including human physiology (cardiovascular system, bone mass, eye motion, immune system, respiratory system, etc.), psychology, microbiology, complex plasma physics and radiation dosimetry.
He is also performing technology demonstrations (3D camera) as well as industrial and educational experiments for universities and primary/secondary schools. Reiter and his crewmates are also tasting high-quality food specially designed in order to improve the lot of astronauts far away from planet Earth and to improve the overall astronaut's health.
During the event, which was jointly organised with the Italian space agency, ASI, Paolo Nespoli talked to the press about the training in preparation for Space Shuttle mission STS-120, his first spaceflight, due to take place in the summer of 2007. The STS-120 mission will launch Node 2, an Italian-built U.S. connecting module, to the International Space Station.
"I am very much looking forward to my first spaceflight. I have already started an intensive preparation phase which is very challenging and exciting." said Paolo Nespoli. "With the launch of Node 2, Europe will see the launch of its first European node. It is an important step because Node 2 will serve as a connecting element for the European Columbus laboratory, the US laboratory Destiny and the Japanese laboratory Kibo. It will also be the attachment point for the Japanese HII transfer vehicle. It will carry a docking adapter for the US Space Shuttle and serve as an attachment point for the MPLMs – the Italian-built cargo modules that are carried to and from the Station inside the Space Shuttle."
Nespoli will serve as Mission Specialist, joining five NASA astronauts: Air Force Col. Pamela A. Melroy, who will command the STS-120 Shuttle mission (a veteran Shuttle Pilot and only the second woman to be named Space Shuttle Commander); Marine Corps Col. George D. Zamka, on his first spaceflight, who will serve as Pilot; and Mission Specialists Scott E. Parazynski, Army Col. Douglas H. Wheelock and Navy Capt. Michael J. Foreman, also on his first spaceflight.
Nespoli's mission will be carried out in the framework of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Italian space agency, ASI, and NASA for the supply to NASA of three pressurised Multi-Purpose Logistic Modules (MPLM) and the assignment to Italy of flight opportunities and ISS utilisation.
Node 2 is a pressurised module for the Space Station which, along with Nodes 1 and 3, interconnects the research, habitation, control and docking modules of the Station itself. The Nodes are used to control and distribute resources between the connected elements. This Node 2 flight precedes the launch of ESA's Columbus laboratory to the ISS.
ESRIN: The ESA Centre for Earth Observation
Located in Frascati, a small town 20 km south of Rome in Italy, ESRIN was established in 1966 and first began acquiring data from environmental satellites in the 1970s.
ESRIN acts as an interface between ESA and those who use its services. The centre has close links with European industry, the European Union and the civil protection, agriculture and environment ministries within ESA Member States. ESRIN also cooperates with international organisations including UN agencies and the European Commission, and plays an important role in many international projects. These include the Geosphere/Biosphere Programme, the Committee for Earth Observation Systems and the International Charter on Space and Major Disasters.
In all its activities ESRIN pursues ESA's objective of increasing interaction with users in order to develop new products and services, and support the competitiveness of the European space industry. ESRIN is helping to bring about a fertile mix between the two worlds of science and space applications for the benefit of all Europeans.

From NTTC on FB-
The New Testament Virtual Manuscript Room (NTVMR) from the Institute for New Testament Text Research (INTF) is a community portal for scholarly research of New Testament Greek manuscripts. For decades, the INTF (producers of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament) has housed the most comprehensive collection of manuscript resources for Greek New Testament studies, and now this resource is finally coming online for public access. Over 2.1 million pages have been cataloged with nearly half a million images published in cooperation with holding institutes around the world, including P45, P46, and P47 from The Chester Beatty Library and University of Michigan, The Freer Gospels from the Smithsonian Institute, and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus reordered from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
This is the first public invitation to join this portal, make use of these scholarly resources, and contribute to this public repository of New Testament manuscript research.

World of Reggae Music Collection: Roots and Culture
Slavery Days
In the final edition of the Roots and Culture volume of the World of Reggae Music Collection the selector presents Slavery Days. Over 400 years of slavery ravaged the Atlantic world. And in fact, the legacy of slavery has been nearly as destructive. The African Holocaust, as some in the reggae profession have termed the catastrophic event, unleashed horrific consequences for the people of Africa and for those enslaved Africans transplanted to the islands of the Caribbean.
Jamaican reggae artists played many of their Roots and Culture songs about the history and legacy of slavery. The iconic Burning Spear recorded one of the most enduring songs in this vein called "Slavery Days." The Wailers recorded "Slave Driver" on the classic reggae album Catch A Fire. Both the Bob Marley and The Wailers full-band version of "Redemption Song (Band Version)" and the Bob Marley's acoustic version of "Redemption Song (Album Version)" appears on this edition. Some of these songs of slavery are in fact songs of freedom.
The bands Steel Pulse, Culture, Third World, and the Wailing Souls; the reggae stars Gregory Isaacs, Lee Scratch Perry, Junior Byles, Judy Mowatt, and Peter Tosh; and the dancehall singjays Capleton, Anthony B, and Macka B all played wonderful roots tunes about the issues dealing with slavery and its impacts.
