It's a fascinating thing to hear the way a native Hawaiian pronounces the name of their home state: Hawai'i — the traditional spelling in the Hawaiian language — with an elegant pause before uttering the final syllable.

With the help of a missed call on a crucial play, the Rays beat the Red Sox to take over first place in the American League East and once again baseball's limited use of instant replay has become a hot topic.
With the Rays leading 2-1 in the eighth inning, runners on second and third, and just one out, Brandon Snyder hit what looked like a game-tying sacrifice fly to left field. But Daniel Nava was called out at home on Sam Fuld's throw and the Rays went on to win the game by the same score (see video and image below).
Replays showed that Nava was most likely safe as the umpire was in a bad position behind the catcher.
As far as blown calls go, this was not that terrible. It was a very close play and it wasn't until the video was shown frame-by-frame that it became clear that the call was wrong.
If this call went against the Pirates or the A's, few people would notice. But this call went against one of baseball's marquee teams and may have cost the Red Sox a chance to remain in first place.
Today, Red Sox fans are screaming for more replay, and major media outlets, such as ESPN, are wondering aloud if replay should be expanded to include plays at the plate.
It was a bad call. But if this is what it takes to force baseball into the 21st century, then ultimately, it is good for the sport.

David Bowie (b. David Robert Jones on 8th January 1947 in Brixton, London, UK, d. 10th January 2016 in New York, USA) was an English rock singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Active during six decades of popular music and frequently reinventing his music and image, Bowie is widely regarded as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. Shortly after releasing his 25th studio album Blackstar, it was announced Bowie died on 10 January 2016, following an eighteen-month battle with cancer. At the 59th Grammy Awards on Sun, February 12, 2017, Bowie took the award for "Best Rock Song" for "Blackstar".
As a multi-instrumentalist, he was famous for playing the guitar, piano, and saxophone, but also plays the harmonica, drums, cello, marimba, bass guitar, koto, and stylophone. His first single was released in 1964, but he rose to fame with the 1969 single "Space Oddity" and the 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Subsequent albums have explored blue-eyed soul, electronica, and new wave, often pre-dating these genres' popularity or even the point at which they were defined as genres.
Bowie was one of the most influential rock musicians from the 1970s to the present. He has sold an estimated 136 million albums in his career and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to his musical career, Bowie has had success as a painter, web-designer, sculptor, Broadway actor starring in The Elephant Man, and film actor starring in many films.
Bowie is also credited as being a major inspiration behind the new romantic, futurist movement, and subsequent development of electronic/electronica music.
Bowie frequently brought the worlds of high art, mime, and straight theatre to his stage acts. His most famous on-stage look was that of Ziggy Stardust; other personae include Halloween Jack, Aladdin Sane, and the Thin White Duke. Read more on Last.fm.

Like many local authority housing blocks we have a recycling bin. We used to have three but two were taken away, with the result that the remaining one is permanently overflowing. I contacted Lewisham Council's waste disposal team to point out the problem.
I was told that the other two bins were removed because wrong stuff, such as food scraps, was being put in them. I concede that this is a problem but still left me in the position that I have nowhere to put my recycling so it winds up in the general waste which I presume is not what they want. I therefore suggested that they issue me with my own recycling box, which I could put out on collection day.
I was told "we no longer issue those."

It's an automated user run by DarkJedi613 to perform automated tasks such as changing categories in articles when that category is renamed, or changing all references to the Sorceror's Stone to Philosopher's Stone, or other maintenance tasks. Think of it as a House-elf that can clean up all the little things (or even big things) in the wiki. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 19:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

ridiculouscreative answer I've ever seen. But essentially he's right. Pretty much I put some commands into a Python program that loads and edits pages automatically to correct some spelling, move categories, etc. It comes in handy sometimes. So it is a 'robot' in the sense that it is automated, but it is not constantly running or anything like that - I run specific jobs on it. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 08:17, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

We, Carrentalia, don't provide any cars, hotels or flights ourselves.
If you can avoid it, then no, because car rental companies boost their rental rates up for last-minute or "walk-up" customers. It's a supply and demand principal. Don't get caught at the last minute without a car-plan ahead. If you do find yourself searching for a car at the last moment, we consider booking through Carrentalia, which can offer you a reasonable rate even at the last minute.

If you have no insurance, and anything happens to a rental vehicle while it's in your possession, you're responsible. And yes, car rental companies won't hesitate to ask you to pay for a new car if you total one of theirs. Don't drive a car without insurance.
Yes, definitely! Every rental car must be photographed or better yet, videotaped by you before you leave the rental lot. Most car rental companies do not adequately document the condition of your vehicle, and only a small fraction take photos of your car before you rent it. Don't forget the interior! You can't be too careful.
It depends on the car rental company you pick to rent from. Some offers you to pay for the car at the rental, some have different options.
Our partner Cartrawler offers free cancellation and amendment up to 24 hours prior to your pick-up & no administration fees when you amend your booking.

Jones wins epic game for Orioles in extras
Baltimore stays on top in A.L. East
Adam Jones turned his night around with a swing of the bat.
Jones homered with one out in the 15th inning, lifting the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.
Jones was hitless in six at-bats before connecting for his team-leading 12th home run -- nine of them tying the game or giving the Orioles a lead. Jones sent a 2-2 pitch from Nate Adcock (0-1), the fifth Kansas City pitcher, far over the left field wall.
Jones came to the plate in the third, eighth and 12th innings with runners in scoring position.
"I had three opportunities earlier with men in scoring position that I did not succeed in, which is by far the most frustrating thing for me," Jones said. "I was 0 for 3. I did not give one of my seven at-bats away. I can live with myself when I do that."
Adcock hung a slider and Jones delivered.
"I had some pitches to hit, just missed them, part of it, 0 for 6," Jones said. "Some people were behind me, yelling at me, `Hey, come on Jones.' I showed them. After I hit that, they shut up the heck up."
Jones is hitting .290 with 24 RBIs and could earn a return trip to Kansas City on July 10 to for the All-Star game at Kauffman Stadium.
"I know Jonesy was a little frustrated there with some previous at-bats, but he got back under control and hit a mistake," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Jonesy is having a great year. Jonesy doesn't ever give in. You always feel like if he struggles at some point someone is going to pay down the line. He doesn't forget. It's nothing personal. It's competition. It's just the way he's wound. He's a very competitive young man."
The Orioles improved to 5-0 in extra-inning road games.
"It's pretty crazy what this team does," said Orioles starting pitcher Tommy Hunter. "It's 13 innings, 15 innings, 17 innings."
The Orioles beat the Red Sox 9-6 in 17 innings on May 6.
Kevin Gregg (1-1) pitched two hitless innings, walking one, to pick up the victory. Jim Johnson earned his 13th save.
Royals right-hander Felipe Paulino, who was making only his third start after beginning the season on the disabled list with a right forearm strain, held the Orioles to five hits in seven scoreless innings. He struck out nine and walked two.
"Great pitching from Paulino and great pitching from Adcock," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "They gave us an opportunity to put it away. We just couldn't do it."
The Royals bullpen had a 1.04 ERA in the past seven games but relievers Jonathan Broxton and Kelvin Herrera gave up three runs on six hits in the eighth and ninth innings.
Broxton was trusted with a 3-1 lead in the ninth, but blew his second seven in 10 opportunities and his first since April 11 at Oakland. Broxton gave up a solo homer to Wilson Betemit with one out and three singles to produce the tying run. J.J. Hardy's two-out hit scored pinch-runner Ryan Flaherty to make it 3-all.
Humberto Quintero's two-out single in the fifth scored Jeff Francoeur, who led off the inning with a double, and Alcides Escobar, who was hit by a pitch. It was Quintero's first multi-RBI game with the Royals.
The Orioles cut the lead to 2-1 in the eighth, when Hardy and Nick Markakis led off the inning with doubles against rookie reliever Herrera.
Alex Gordon's two-out double in the eighth scored Mitch Maier to give the Royals a 3-1 advantage. Maier ran for Billy Butler, who had singled for his second hit.
Orioles starter Tommy Hunter yielded two runs on seven hits in seven innings. He threw only 82 pitches and was backed by double plays in three of the first four innings.
Royals second baseman Chris Getz left with a bruised left rib after a collision with Chris Davis on an infield single in the fifth inning. Irving Falu replaced Getz in the seventh inning and singled. Falu has a hit in each of his five big league games.

Jillian Michaels is getting ready to rack her weights.
The host of The Biggest Loser is ready to back away from her role as a trainer on the reality show, reports E! Online.
"Season 11 of Biggest Loser will be my last :) have to finish out my contract," the 36-year-old said via Twitter this week.
U.S. & World
The ripped and trim Michaels, though, is looking forward to putting on a little weight of her own.
"I want to take a year off TV and focus on becoming a mommy and doing more charity work," she said in another tweet.
The hard-body host revealed earlier this year that she suffers from endometriosis and Polycistic Ovarian Syndrome, conditions that make getting pregnant more difficult. But it seems as though she may have found an alternative method to motherhood.

It was brought out at the end of a decade where Piranesi was given his first chance (through the encouragement of Clement III ) to practice as a designer with freedom to pursue his imaginitative approach to design that he had indicated in some of his earlier work. In this period he designed the painted decorations in the Egyptian style that adorned the walls of the Caffe degli Inglesi in the Piazza di Spagna, and also several ornamental chimneypieces for foreign clients. These designs make up the main body of this group of prints Interestingly in his introductory " Apologia " he gives particular prominence to the chimneypiece , which he argues had no precedence in antiquity, and, he goes on to say has a particular relevance to English architectire. Also illustrated are designs for clocks, vases, tea and coffee pots, coaches and sedan chairs, as well as many other items of decoration.


text: With inventive re-imaginings of the reggae-splashed hook-heavy soul popularized by acts like Sean Paul and Sean Kingston in the early half of the 21st century's first decade, Virgin Island-born singer Iyaz swiftly built up a hearty cult following on MySpace. Kingston, in the process of forming his own Time Is Money label, stumbled upon Iyaz's site and snapped up the 21-year-old singer as the maiden signee of his new imprint. Iyaz's debut single, "Replay," an iPod name-checking musical stew adding splashes of classical and electronica to his usual island pop, soared to the upper regions of the Billboard Hot 100 in November 2009. ~ Jason Thurston, Rovi

Online Shopping Crimes and Misdemeanors
7 ways to avoid being a victim in cyberspace
Online shopping is ever more common, easy and convenient. But watch out — there's still a risk you'll be scammed, whether you're a buyer or seller.
See also: A fraud alert or a credit freeze?
Last year, nondelivery of payment or merchandise was the top complaint to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center, accounting for nearly 14 percent of more than 25,000 reports logged each month. Fraud at online auction websites made up another 6 percent of all complaints.
Receiving counterfeit or shoddy merchandise is another big problem. This may happen because you unknowingly ordered from a "cyber-squatting" site, a copycat online store that fools you into thinking you're visiting the real home of a famous retailer.
At times just looking for things to buy online, without actually buying anything, can be hazardous.
Last holiday season, cyber crooks managed to victimize people who merely typed in the names of products on search engines. The crooks' pages came up in the search results. The shoppers clicked on those links — and unknowingly infected their computers with malware, software that steals personal information or sends spam.
These practices are all outright crimes. But there are legal tricks that reputable merchants are known to play in cyberspace, and you want to guard against them, too. Online retailers are more likely than their bricks-and-mortar counterparts to have "gotchas" such as outrageous shipping costs, no-return policies or "restocking fees" of 20 percent if they do allow returns.
Consumer Reports finds that "virtually every [online] retail site we checked doesn't offer the basic 'implied' warranty consumers usually get when they walk into a store." This warranty ensures that merchandise performs as commonly expected and will last a reasonable amount of time.
And while most online shopping cons affect buyers, sellers on Craigslist and other sites continue to fall for the "overpayment scam." In that one, you receive a fake payment check that's for more than the agreed amount for what you're selling. You're asked to wire back the difference. You oblige and only find out many days later that the check was counterfeit. Any money you've sent is gone forever.
I could go on — there are other techniques. But with some simple precautions, you can give yourself a safer online buying and selling experience.
1. Pay with a credit card. A credit card provides more protection than a debit card should a purchase prove fraudulent or shoddy — you can stop payment. PayPal, which acts as intermediary between you and the seller, is another good option for frequent online shoppers. Paying with a debit card potentially gives cyber crooks access to your entire bank account — you're providing an account number, which in the wrong hands could be used to make instant withdrawals over and above what you authorized.
And never, never wire money. It's scammers' preferred way of pocketing your money.
2. Read the fine print. Even when you're dealing with reputable retailers, check the privacy policies of their websites so you can stay away from any that sell your personal data to third parties. Also read — before redeeming — the terms of any online coupons or offers. That "$10 off your next purchase" coupon might involve an automatic sign-up with a retailer's or partner's program, resulting in monthly charges for an unwanted service.
3. Use a dedicated email address for shopping. Buying something online may result in the merchant flooding your email box with come-ons to buy more. To avoid this at your primary email address, get an account from free mail services such as Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail to use just for online shopping.
4. Keep your info private. Never provide personal information, including credit card numbers, on a page with an address that doesn't begin with "https" (the "s" is for "secure"). Also, make sure there's a tiny closed padlock in the address bar or on the lower right corner of the window. Type nothing personal into pop-ups. Hackers can create pop-ups that appear on legitimate shopping websites but are unrelated to them.
5. Know which emails to ignore. Never respond to emails that ask you to confirm recent transactions or try to steer you off-site (such as away from eBay after your bid does not win). Legitimate shopping sites will send an order confirmation, usually with instructions on how to track the delivery of your purchase, but they will not ask for confirmation. Messages seeking it are really after your personal info.
6. Type website addresses yourself. Don't rely on links in emails and advertisements promising to take you to a retailer's website; they could be cover to download a virus to your computer. When searching for items by keyword, carefully review the spelling and punctuation of website names listed on results pages. Scammers can easily set up a phony site that's just a letter or two different from the one you want.
7. Wait for the check to clear. When selling online with payment by check, don't ship the merchandise until your bank reports that "funds have been collected" from the buyer's check. This can take a week or longer. Although your account may show an immediate credit after you deposit the check, what's really happening is that the bank is fronting you the money pending clearance of the check. You will be liable for all money drawn from the deposit should the check prove bogus.

Congratulations to Chevrolet as they get ready to celebrate their 100th birthday on November 3. As part of many festivities that are to happen until then, the brand developed an online experience that pits its 100 years of select models against each other. It is basically a bracket challenge where people vote for their favorite Chevrolet cars and trucks.
The 100 Years of Chevrolet website combines several social media connections with the brand where people vote by clicking a Facebook like button all to answer the age old question "What's the best Chevy of all time?" I know I wasn't asking that question either, but it is fun choosing which car or truck you like best in each round.
Most votes have a clear winner in the first round, but the 1970 Chevelle SS convertible and the 2010 Camaro are in a pretty close match with only 100 votes separating the two cars after almost 4,000 total votes in the match. Psst...I voted for the Chevelle SS.
I'm already a fan of Chevrolet on Facebook, but if you are not you need to be to cast your votes. Unfortunately, once you are a fan the experience got a little spammy after I went back to my Facebook profile since the Chevy 100 website doesn't tell you that every vote is published to your Facebook wall (see image on right.)
Other than the minor publishing to Facebook situation, and yes I get why they did it that way as it creates interest to my friends on Facebook and hopefully more traffic for Chevy's website, the experience is solid and focuses more on people's love of the current lineup and their love of Chevy's prolific automotive history.
So go and vote for your favorite Chevrolet vehicles!

LIVING on the City fringe, I couldn't resist. With a compulsion to see what was going on, I decided to head out. Before leaving, I had noticed a couple of things. The first was the sound of helicopters buzzing around, possibly linked to awful digital television reception. The other thing was an almost complete lack of buses. Being smart, I waited until the lunchtime news to get an idea of what was happening. That's where I learnt about the brief violence, the breaking of windows and police cordoning of all the roads around the Bank of England. "Oh well, at least I'll be able to go as far as the cordons" I thought. So, at 1:50pm, I set off. And this, is everything I saw. Up until my camera phone ran out of battery.
On the way to Bishopsgate from Bethnal Green Road, this graffiti seemed ominous. Or, if you are an anarchist, hopeful.
There were some police milling around RBS' Bishopsgate building. But not as much protest as I was expecting. None at all in fact.
By this point, I noticed that Bishopsgate was a little quiet. Too quiet. And, in the middle of the road was the first of dozens of outside broadcast trucks I would see.
The reason for Bishopsgate's quietness quickly became clear. The Climate Camp had camped out in the middle of the road. Too their credit, they were a lot of fun. No trouble or bad attitude. Lots of fun and interesting people doing their thing. Not that I agree with their message. But it was a jolly jape to camp out and have a mini-carnival in Bishopsgate. Here are some of the things I saw while passing. Warning: white people with dreadlocks ahead.
There weren't many police officers on duty. No wait. That's not accurate. There were more police officers and riot police than I've ever seen before.
By the end of the Climate Camp, I found myself near the junction of Threadneedle street. How far can I get, past the boarded up shop windows, to the police cordon? Let's find out…
When I got there, here's the hodgepodge of different protesters I found at the corner of Threadneedle and the Royal Exchange.
People were hanging off every statue and piece of street furniture. You could see people on the balcony on the Bank of England. The atmosphere was good. But I got bored. So I headed across the Exchange Buildings area over to Cornhill. And met a variety of funny figures en route. One even gave me some pink "Clown Money".
Over on Cornhill, I was able to get right up to the police line. With the police keeping other people inside, and me outside the cordon, the atmosphere was different. With the police telling people to stop climbing onto the Royal Exchange and protesters outside the cordon shouting at the police, the atmosphere was starting to buzz.
After staying here for a few minutes I got bored. Popes Head Alley was straight ahead so I walked off to see what I could find.
At this point, I want to keep showing you photos. Unfortunately, the stupid Firefox web browser can't handle this many photos in a WordPress blog writing text box. So, check ABOVE this post for PART 2. Or click on this: https://hywelsbiglog.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/eyewitness-of-protests-and-kerfuffle-at-the-bank-of-england-01-april-2009-part-2/

As soon as they learned "Les Misérables" would be presented as the summer musical at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center, the family duo of Michael Dye and Tim Norton, knew it would be their last opportunity to work under Dr. Cliff Herron, the retiring dean of the renowned fine and performing arts programs at Northwest Florida State College and the show's director.
NICEVILLE – As soon as they learned "Les Misérables" would be presented as the summer musical at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center, the family duo of Michael Dye and Tim Norton, knew it would be their last opportunity to work under Dr. Cliff Herron, the retiring dean of the renowned fine and performing arts programs at Northwest Florida State College and the show's director.
"We always said that when Herron retired on 'Les Misérables,' that we'd audition for the show together," said Norton, a 26-year-old Niceville native and stepson of Dye, the long-time chorale director at Niceville High School.
Dye earned the lead role in the epic tale and appears as Jean Valjean, a former convict who violates the terms of his parole but finds redemption through a series of virtuous and philanthropic deeds — despite being hounded incessantly for 20-years by police inspector Javert, played by NWFSC theater professor Clint Mahle of DeFuniak Springs. Norton appears as the charismatic student activist Enjolras.
Based on a novel by Victor Hugo, the college's full-scale theatrical production will be performed almost entirely through song – just as in the Broadway smash hit and recently released motion picture.
For Dye, who holds a Master of Music Education degree, "the music is the easy part ... the hardest part was memorizing the whole thing," he said, noting that he started committing to memory "a mountain of text" more than six months ago to prepare for his lead role.
Staging "Les Misérables" is "a major theatrical and musical undertaking," said Herron, who called the production, "the finest we've ever done – I truly believe it is on par and even better than many of the national touring Broadway shows we've brought in over the years."
More than 200 costumes will grace the production's more than 40 actors who will bring the 19th-century tale to life. The musical features a massive 30-foot high set, constructed from the ground up by college crews with "$8,000 of lumber, two blood drives worth of blood and 10 gallons of sweat," according to technical theater veteran Bob Whittaker, who runs the back-stage operations at the performing arts complex on the main campus at 100 College Blvd.
Les Misérables, which appears for a record seven nights, opened Wednesday and continues July 18-20 and July 25-27 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available online at mattiekellyartscenter.com or phone and in-person sales, open weekdays 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and also 6-7:30 each night of the production.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for youth ages 18 and younger. Call 729-6000. There is a $2 per ticket box office processing fee.
Other lead roles for "Les Miserables" include Annie Melia of Niceville as Fantine, the self-sacrificing mother who devotes her life to ensuring the welfare of her daughter. Fantine's daughter, Cosette, is played by Hannah Moore of Niceville.
The roles of Thénardier and Mme Thénardier are played by Denis Milonas of Mary Esther and NWFSC vocal music professor Allison Everitt. Mallory Olds of Niceville is the Thénardiers' daughter, Eponine. Student activist Marius is played by Sivu Schlegel of Niceville.
In addition, several children are taking on named roles, including Destin resident Sophie Hagle as the Young Cosette, Santa Rosa Beach resident Catherine Coble playing Young Eponine, and Niceville resident Nathan Burdge portraying Gavroche.
A full chorus ensemble for the sing-through pop opera includes male ensemble members: DeFuniak Springs: Joe Taylor; Fort Walton Beach: Josh Riley, Sean Royal, Stephen Shouse; Miramar Beach: Okeye Mitchell; Navarre: Donovan Black, Blake Williams; Niceville: Brett Huston, Zachary Pecore, Zachary Phillips, Jeremy Ribando, David Simmons, Brian Snyder, Paul Tessier, Dominick Trolian; Pensacola: Jeremy Gibson.
Female members of the chorus ensemble include: Fort Walton Beach: Meghan Erlacher, Gabrielle Lindley; Mary Esther: Maddie Ostrowski; Niceville: Victoria Bishop, Kimberly Bridges, Marielena Burdge, Danielle C. Fox, Laura Hernandez, Megan James, Holly Johnson, Madeline Kirkpatrick, Katie Pickler, Brittany Swain; Santa Rosa Beach: Catherine Coble; Valparaiso: Wendy Justice.

NetApp co-founder Dave Hitz has challenged Sun to come to court now and get the ZFS-WAFL IP case sorted as fast as possible.
NetApp is suing Sun for giving away what it claims is its intellectual property in the open source Zettabyte File System (ZFS). It contends that Sun includes IP from NetApp's Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) technology in ZFS. Sun disagrees and is counter-suing NetApp. The case is due to be tried in a northern Californian court once pre-trial activities are over.
In these Sun has assaulted the validity of NetApp patents, referring to prior art - relevant technologies pre-dating the NetApp patents - and trying to get the US Patent Office to re-examine them and, hopefully, strike them down. It has had some success here and Sun general counsel Mike Dillon has blogged about this, indicating that Sun's case is on a winning streak.
Now Dave Hitz, the holder of some of the disputed patents has blogged back suggesting that Sun is slowing things down by seeking a 'stay' in the hearing, as the Patent Office has rejected three of NetApp's patents on a preliminary basis, because it simply does not want the case to come to court. Why else should it want to delay the trial hearing?
Hitz blogs: "To me, the best indicator of strength is to look at which party wants to get on with the case (the one with a strong position), and which party consistently drags its feet and tries to delay (the one with the weak position)... If you were Sun, and if you were confident in your case, wouldn't you want to clear the name of ZFS as quickly as possible, to reassure your customers and partners?
"By contrast, if you were NetApp, and you had no confidence in your patents, wouldn't you try to slow things down to maintain the cloud of doubt as long as possible? "
This looks true in the common sense. Not being a US patent trial lawyer though means that it is simply not known if common sense applies here, law and common sense often being polar opposites.
At least Hitz can claim a hit in the Sun-NetApp blog wars and maybe deliver some discombobulation to Dillon. ®

Papal call to the Space Station
It was a first for the crew of the International Space Station: a papal call. His Holiness Benedict XVI talked with the astronauts in orbit for about 20 minutes on Saturday afternoon in an event webcast live from the Vatican Library.
An interior view of the International Space Station showing all 12 astronauts aboard was beamed to a TV screen in the Foconi Room of the Vatican Library at 13:11 CEST (11:11 GMT) on Saturday.
After a customary voice check, ESA's Director for Human Spaceflight and Operations, Thomas Reiter, handed the microphone over to Enrico Saggese, President of the Italian Space Agency, who introduced the Station's commander, Dmitri Kondratyev, to the Pope.
After exchanging a few words with His Holiness, Kondratyev presented the Station crew before Space Shuttle commander Mark Kelly introduced his crew.
The Pope talked of the importance of science and exploration, and noted the importance of protecting our environment. After his kind words, His Holiness asked about world peace, the views from the unique vantage point of the astronauts and their work on the Station. He noted the position of the astronauts as role models.
After speaking with His Holiness, Roberto Vittori showed a coin given to him by the Pope, letting it float to Paolo Nespoli, who will bring it back to Earth next Tuesday morning.
Finally, His Holiness addressed Paolo in Italian, expressing his condolences for the recent loss of the astronaut's mother.
Vatican and space
His Holiness Benedict XVI has shown deep interest in astronomy and science. In 2009, during the International Year of Astronomy, he noted that our time is "positioned on the threshold of yet greater scientific discoveries."
"Who can deny," the Pope stated, "that the responsibility for the future of humanity and also the respect for nature and the world around us, demands, now more than ever, the careful observation, the critical judgement, the patience and the discipline that are essential to the modern scientific method?"
The Vatican Observatory is one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world and a leader in astronomy. Its main office is at the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Italy, outside Rome. Its research centre, the Vatican Observatory Research Group, is located at the University of Arizona in Tucson, USA.
The most famous papal message to space was left on the Moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969. "I look up at your heavens, made by your fingers, at the moon and stars you set in place," said Pope Paul VI, quoting from the Psalms.

It's 9:40 a.m. PST/12:40 a.m. EST and the webcast of the Boeing Dreamliner's first flight should be starting right now. Here's hoping that this is the last time I use this particular image and that the 787's daydreams become reality.
Weather, luck, and wishes permitting, the plane should be taking taking to the skies around 10:00 a.m. PST/ 1:00 p.m. EST, so we've got another 20 or so minutes to head over to the webcast site, prepare to either cheer at a success or sigh at another letdown, and wish good luck to my second favorite daydreamer. I've got faith in this one, how 'bout you? [New Airplane]

A small-scale miner digs a hole searching for gold on a small hill overlooking grasslands in rural Mongolia on April 4, 2012. Pictures made available on April 19.
David Gray / Reuters
Reuters reports — In a hot, concrete hut filled with acetylene fumes, an elderly Mongolian miner struggles to contain her excitement as she plucks a sizzling inch-long nugget of gold from a grubby cooling pot and raises it to the light.
65-year-old Khorloo is a member of a new Mongol horde of at least 60,000 herders, farmers and urban unemployed trying to extract the riches buried in the vast steppe with metal detectors, shovels and home-made smelters.
See more of photographer David Gray's work from Mongolia on PhotoBlog
In the last five years, dwindling legal gold supplies and a spike in black market demand from China have made work much more lucrative for Mongolia's "ninja miners" - so named because of the large green pans carried on their backs that look like turtle shells. For thousands of dirt-poor herders, the soaring prices alone are enough to justify years of harassment, abuse and hard labor. Read the full story.

It's not until you see it with your own eyes that you realize how absurd it is cast James Franco as a world-class scientist.
Franco stars Will Rodman, a San Francisco-based researcher who discovers a drug that "allows the brain to cure itself. We call it (dramatic pause) The Cure." Naturally, he tests it on apes, the apes get smart and then they get pissed. It's a story as old as time itself.
Obviously there's plenty about the plot to be revealed, but we always got the impression that it was humans that destroyed their own world, now we find out it was an ape uprising? This changes everything.
U.S. & World
Let's just say we found the four-second teaser a lot more affecting.
"The Rise of the Planet of the Apes," co-starring Freida Pinto, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, Andy Serkis and John Lithgow, opens Aug. 5.

Sahar Madanat Haddad-Vanilla Lounge Chair
At Design Interviews
Interview with Sahar Madanat Haddad : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Generational Gaps. This chair was designed to symbolize the contradictions between our generation and our parents' and grandparents', whereby even though these differences seem to tear us apart at times, our heritage and history always seem to tie us back together. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : The objective is to manufacture this lounge chair locally; reducing it's carbon footprint as well as to encourage local suppliers. Therefore, All materials and manufacturing process are quite simple and do not require sophisticated machinery. Furthermore, provide an opportunity for handicraftsmen to participate in even modern furniture production and expanding their scope of work to stay competitive. This is achieved by sourcing the decorative brass sheet metal component to them. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : At the moment I am studying production options as i have received great feedback and many requests. However, whether I take on this process myself or through another company is a possible option. One way or another I plan to see this lounge chair realized! .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : The concept has been lingering on my desk since 2008. But it was finally revived, modified and finalized in 2010; a process that took several months. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : It was pursuit of an inspiration. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Not yet, but soon! The design is not being used by any company just yet. As mentioned earlier, all options for production are being carefully considered at the moment until the best fit can be found. It's important to find the right match when handing over your work; therefore all options are being studied before proceeding to production. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Vanilla Lounge chair is targeted towards everyone who enjoys luxurious, stylish yet comfortable lounging experiences, design collectors, and fits great as statement furniture in homes, executive offices, lounges and lobbies. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Vanilla was chosen from a selection of names because it emphasizes the purity of white; the space in moments of reflection in our thoughts, which were a source of inspiration for this design. Yet the brilliant, smooth and silky white color of vanilla we are so familiar is not without its own contradictions, it comes from a very dark and woody brown bean! .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : The clever balance made between modern comforts and beautiful handmade decorative components casting beautiful shadows. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Certainly. I thoroughly researched the ergonomics of seating, seat height, width, cushioning and the lower back support curvatures. In addition, I looked at best practices and incorporated the most comfortable features including tilt mechanisms and where they can be found and their suppliers. Furthermore, I researched bent woods and manufacturing techniques, visited factories and met with local carpenters. I found at least 4 qualified local suppliers willing to help build this chair. Keeping in mind that one of my main goals is having greener furniture and encouraging local suppliers to work on projects that allow them to think outside the box. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : The most difficult part of this project was to design a lounge chair that can be produced in very minimal industrial processes, without affecting the aesthetic quality of the chair. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Sahar Madanat Haddad : Thank you for the opportunity to share my work. .
