The Continentals' Big Cannon
When young Knox presented himself at Washington's headquarters, our army was destitute of cannon, without which he felt that it was impossible to cope with the British forces.This claim, that the Continental Army had no artillery until Knox brought some back from the Lake Champlain forts, pops up in a lot popular sources, though few historians who've studied the record make the same mistake.
Many sources show that the Massachusetts Committee of Safety began to collect artillery pieces for an army in the fall of 1774. Their agents sought cannon from ships, shore batteries, militia armories, and hardware stores. In early April 1775, James Warren wrote to his wife from Concord, "This town is full of cannon…" During the Battle of Bunker Hill, four American artillery companies deployed with eight field-pieces, though by the end of the day they had lost five.
Knox's trek to Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga in the winter of 1775-76 certainly added to the Continental Army's artillery. He and his men brought back forty-three cannon, including one brass 24-pounder and eleven 18-pounders, one brass and ten iron.
(Cannon were designated by the weight of the largest ball they could throw; thus, a 24-pounder could propel an iron ball weighing twenty-four pounds. The mouth of a 24-pounder was nearly six inches wide. For more on Revolutionary-era artillery, check out this page from Yorktown.)
Even so, the Continental Army already had guns of that size. Here's an entry from the journal of Pvt. Samuel Bixby, stationed in Roxbury:
July 1st [1775]. Saturday. We are fortifying on all sides, and making it strong as possible around the Fort. We have two 24 lbs. Cannon, & forty balls to each. We have hauled apple trees, with limbs trimmed sharp & pointing outward from the Fort. We finished one platform, & placed the Cannon on it just at night, and then fired two balls into Boston.Knox helped to lay out that fortification, which attracted praise from Gen. George Washington and Gen. Charles Lee four days later.
Pvt. Bixby mentioned "the 24 pounder in the Great Fort above the meeting house" again on 2 August, and on 21 September wrote, "We fired from the lower fort with our 18 pounder." On 6 October he wrote:
6th. Frid. About 9 o'c. A.M. we flung two 18 lb balls into Boston from the lower fort, just to let them know where to find us, for which the enemy returned 90 shots.Clearly the Continentals were outgunned by the Royal Artillery, and had a lot less gunpowder and shot to use. But it's a myth to say that Washington's troops had no guns or even no heavy guns until Col. Knox got back from Fort Ticonderoga.
I'll have more to say about the myths and realities of the Continental artillery tonight at Longfellow House–Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site.

Suppose I have a sphere and I choose a point $P$ on it. Then I draw $N\ge 3$ circles on the sphere passing through that point in a manner such that all the intersection points of the final result involve $\ge 3$ circles. Why then must there be a point other than $P$ where all the circles pass through?
My thoughts are that we cannot have a polygonal decomposition of the sphere where every vertex has $\ge 6$ edges coming out of it (follows from Euler's relation). So there has to be an "object" with 2 edges only. But then I am not sure how to conclude that the above is true.
Added: I think @joriki 's assumption is right -- the circles don't just touch at $P$. Otherwise the question would be trivially wrong.

1943 Volkswagen Type 166 Schwimmwagen vs. 1943 Ford GPA - Backward GlancesPosted in Features on July 22, 2013
Water barriers are the perennial military problem. Crafty armies develop ways to cross them in places the enemy least expects. When motor vehicles entered the military scene in the early 1900s, it didn't take long for someone to figure out how to make them float and use them in battle. By the onset of World War II, amphibious vehicle technology was well understood, but neither the German nor American armies had amphibs in inventory. This required each country to develop them according to their operational needs.
The two main amphibs developed for the American army were the legendary American 2½-ton GMC DUKW 6x6 "Duck," probably the most successful amphibian of WWII, and the ¼-ton Ford GPA. The Germans had little need for large amphibians, but the Volkswagen Type 166 Schwimmwagen became their primary scout vehicle and had amphibious capability.
Today, both the GPA and the Schwimmwagen are incredibly rare and valuable. Finding two of them swimming together in one place, and at one time, is a once-in-a-lifetime event. We can all thank the owner of both vehicles, Richard Saft and the Kübel Korps USA, for this opportunity—Saft for bringing them together for serious play and the KKUSA for making that possible by having a great annual members-only event.
1943 PKW Type 166 Schwimmwagen
Ferdinand Porsche began militarizing the VW Beetle for the war effort in 1938 and the Type 82 Kübelwagen (see "Backward Glances," Aug. '12 issue) was in production by 1940. Four-wheel drive was developed for the Type 82, but deemed nonessential for production models. Instead, smaller numbers of more capable 4x4 scout vehicles with amphibious capability were ordered.
The first Porsche-designed amphibian was the Type 128 of 1940, but structural troubles with the unitized body led to the shorter and narrower Type 166. Large scale production began in the summer of 1942 and the 166 was issued primarily to armored units as a scout vehicle. It utilized the four-wheel-drive system developed for the Type 82, delivered superior cross-country ability and wasn't stopped at the waters edge.
The Type 166 was extensively used on all fronts, the Russian in particular, where rough terrain capabilities were valued as much as floatability. The Type 166 was designed to carry four fully-equipped troops and could mount the feared MG-34 machine gun.
Schwimm running gear is very familiar to air-cooled Vee-Dub parts. The archetypical transverse torsion bar front axle was augmented with half-shafts and a differential driven by a jackshaft from the transaxle in the rear. There is no low range in the familiar sense. Four-wheel drive is engaged at any speed, but there is a separate creeper gear that takes the place of low range. ZF automatic lockers were mounted in both diffs. The Schwimm's air-cooled flat-four made 25hp from 1131cc.
Saft's '43 Schwimm is one of over 15,000 built between July of 1942 and November of 1944, plus some assembled later from parts. Many Schwimms were destroyed during and after the war. The survivors had only limited usefulness to civilian populations, so many more faded away before they became a collectible in the '70s. Remaining Schwimms are reported to number under 200, and a restored one will cost you over $100,000.
1943 Ford GPA
The development of a ¼-ton amphibian started in 1941 when marine architects Sparkman & Stephens designed a hull for the newly developed jeep. Marmon-Herrington got the job of creating a production-ready vehicle. In an apparent bet-hedging move, Ford Motor Company was also given a development contract some months later. Despite starting last, Ford finished first and their prototypes were superior to Marmon-Herrington's. Ford was awarded a large production contract in 1942.
The new vehicle soon acquired the nickname "Seep," presumably for "sea-jeep." Ford's nomenclature was GPA: G for a government contract, P for the ¼-ton platform, and A for amphibian. It borrowed many components from the standardized Ford GPW land jeep, including the engine and drivetrain. The transfer case had a power take-off for the propeller and bilge pump.
The GPA proved satisfactory in testing, but its role became less clear once it entered service. As a land recon vehicle it was limited by poor cross-country performance, and its amphibious capabilities were seldom needed inland. The GPA proved generally unsuitable for beach landings, where cargo capacity and seaworthiness in surf were key. While it was handy in a few isolated moments during the war, overall the Seep was an "also-ran" for the Americans in WWII. The most effective combat use of the GPA was made by the Soviets, who got 3,500 via Lend-Lease and used them for river assaults or reconnaissance in force. The Soviets liked them well enough to make a homebuilt clone, the GAZ-46 MAV.
The GPA didn't remain in American military service long after WWII. As a surplus novelty, they found civilian jobs as everything from harbor tenders to ice cream trucks. When used in the water, they were high-maintenance and tended to rust out quickly and most had gone to scrapyards by the '60s.
Seeps made more headlines in civilian hands. Australian Ben Carlin modified a GPA to cross the Atlantic and, after some aborted attempts, got Half-Safe across the pond in 1950. Over the next eight years, Carlin circumnavigated the globe in his GPA. In the '50s and '60s, Helen and Frank Schreider used their modified GPA, La Tortuga, to explore South America and the Pacific as photographers for National Geographic. One GPA even made the pages of the February 1964 issue of Four Wheeler. In the story, "Plucky Duck," Paul Warren wrote about wheeling the Four Corners area, including a dip into the newly formed Lake Powell.
The GPA is also highly collectable, with 250-300 remaining of the 12,774 built between October 1942 and May of 1943. Like the Schwimm, only a small percentage are water-worthy or have owners daring enough to risk them that way. A fully-restored and floatable GPA will cost you upwards of $60,000.
Seep or Schwimm
So which was better? The GPA is the winner in ergonomics, if one dares use that term with a military vehicle. It's far more comfortable than the Schwimm. Climbing into the tall GPA requires some agility, but once inside, it's far more roomy than the Schwimm, especially for the backseaters. The Schwimm driving position is nice, but getting there requires some contortions. The seats of both deliver military numbutt, but the GPA has lots more padding on the seats.
The GPA is at its worst on land. The 134ci, 60hp (gross, 54hp net) flathead-four is overwhelmed by the 3,500-pound curb weight, not to mention the 4,300-pound gross weight, as are the brakes. You can get to about 50 mph with a third of a mile to accelerate and it takes just about as long to stop. Maneuvering is akin to driving a motorhome without power steering. The GPA was rated to tow 1,000 pounds from its military pintle, enough for the American 37mm anti-tank gun. The GPA could also mount a light machine gun on the M31 pedestal mount, but this was almost never seen in American service.
Off-highway, the GPA is an overweight hippo. Rated gradeability was only 45 percent versus 60 percent for the land jeep, and it had worse approach and ramp breakover angles than the land jeep, plus about an inch less minimum ground clearance. It wasn't economical. The 15-gallon tank could take you about 200 miles on good roads for about 13 mpg. The GPA has a 3,500-pound PTO capstan winch, which was very useful for helping it waddle out of the water.
In terms of land performance, the Schwimm is the winner by leaps and bounds. At a 2,006-pound curb weight, and with a gear ratio of 6.2:1, even the Schwimm's tiny 1131cc, 25hp powerplant has the oomph for brisk acceleration. Top speed is only 50 mph, but light weight, wide tires, locking diffs in both axles, and good clearance gave the Schwimm excellent cross-country ability. Better, in fact, than the non-amphibious American jeep. Fuel economy is great as well, and on a good day, the twin 6.5 gallon fuel tanks can take it 275-300 miles. In many other military land duties, the Type 166 is inferior to the jeep. Cargo capacity is minimal, though more limited by volume than weight. Towing capacity is non-existent since the Type 166 has no hitch. The Schwimm can mount 7.92mm MG34 or MG42 machine guns on a dash mount with a tripod on the rear deck for dismounted use.
The shoreline is where the fun begins and the tables turn. Like a hippo, the ungainly GPA changes personality in the water. It isn't a great boat but it will outrun, outmaneuver and outfloat the Schwimm. You have 25-35 miles of cruising fun ahead of you before the tank is dry and a rated max speed of about 5.5 mph. The GPA has a reversible propeller and a rudder, as well as manual and PTO-driven bilge pumps.
The Schwimm's water performance is less than stellar. You soon learn why the paddle is included because there is no reverse in the water. The manually lowered propeller is driven by the engine and rotates in only one direction. There is no rudder; the front wheels do the steering. There is no factory fitted bilge pump either, so water playtime is limited by how much water leaks in—and they all leak. Perhaps this is why we could find no listed water range, since it wasn't designed for long-term immersion. Top speed in the water was listed at 6 mph in still water, but a water drag race between the two amphibs showed the GPA is faster.
So, how does the owner evaluate his two floaters? Richard Saft sums it up brilliantly, "The Schwimwagen is a car that goes in the water, while the GPA is a boat that goes on land."

Think calligraphy is simply that swirling script on nice wedding invitations?
Think, again — then check out the Newberry Library's newest exhibit, "Exploration 2013."
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Presented in partnership with the Chicago Calligraphy Collective, a group that promotes "the study, practice and appreciation of calligraphy," this juried exhibition features 34 calligraphic pieces that push the art form's boundaries. Items such as a painted three-panel fabric partition, words engraved on glass and a massive installation of calligraphy across three whole animal hides make one thing quite clear: This is not your mama's fancy handwriting.
"There is a perception out there that (calligraphy) is something little old ladies do and that it is this kind of amateur thing," said Paul F. Gehl, a Newberry curator. "It is clear that the club and all the artists working in the field are working against that" perception.
Gehl, whose official title is custodian of the John M. Wing Foundation on the History of Printing, is a proselytizer for the calligraphic form and this annual exhibit, which is in its 27th year at the Newberry. At each piece, he took off his glasses and stared wide-eyed, his face millimeters from the work, at the minute details like a biologist peering down the barrel of a microscope.
He isn't fazed by the extreme variation in form, material or language used in the exhibition's pieces. Over the years he has seen the trend of abstraction in calligraphy grow into a full-fledged movement.
"My approach has always been simple-minded," he said. "I say, if the artist calls it calligraphy, then it's calligraphy. I have my own standards, which have to do with a sense of not so much the existence of a letter, but the feeling of a stroke or a movement" that looks like a letter form.
Legibility has also fallen away as orthodoxy in calligraphy, Gehl said. He pointed out a piece resembling works by Jackson Pollock, with black, white and green paints splattered and swooshed across paper.
"I am not sure whether there is text there or not, which tells you right away that it doesn't make any difference," he said. "To me, it is very calligraphic because of the strokes. … Even from across the room it has a calligraphic swing and movement to it."
One of the highlights of the annual exhibit, which continues through June 8, is the announcement of the winner of the $2,000 Newberry Library Purchase Prize, a piece selected by Gehl for inclusion in the library's permanent collection.
Like most of the displayed pieces, the work of this year's winner, "Evocation" by Maggie Mokrzycka, departs from traditional calligraphic forms. Her large, mostly black and white piece features loopy, seemingly unending script — Polish Bible verses — on overlapping pieces of specially treated rice paper backed by a black wooden board. The piece took about two years to complete.
Mokrzycka, 28, said she was inspired by her desire to "turn a plain thing into something that brings a lot of emotions to mind and evokes the question, 'How is that done?'"
The imagery and personal touches drew Julie Wildman, president of Chicago Calligraphy Collective, to Mokrzycka's piece.
"It looks like a personal journal page," Wildman said. "I view the running text — layered behind and above, going off the page, looking like it just continues ad infinitum — as a metaphor for someone's life. ... The layers speak to who we are as people, some parts obscured or hidden, other parts out in the open."
While the exhibit's unique, flashy pieces easily draw attention, Gehl believes there is still a place for more traditional forms of calligraphy such as invitations or broadsides of quotes from Shakespeare or Bible passages.
Those forms happen to be on display in the adjoining exhibit of beautifully decorated books, most of which are religious publications produced before 1800. Gehl sees the pairing — the books are on display through July 6 — as favorable placement.
"For the people who are mostly interested in antiquarian books, (this) is an opportunity to suggest to them that they look at something a bit more contemporary and a bit more radical and abstract," he said.

San Juan Pools manufactures the highest quality /
fiberglass pool shell in the industry.
To explain the engineering of our product and what makes our shells different
than the rest of the industry we first need to explain a little about materials
and workmanship.
The type of resin makes a difference.
From the marine industry we have learned that only Epoxy type resins are
impervious to water. Vinyl Ester resins are made with many of the same
products that go into epoxy. This is why all good boat builders and all
good swimming pool builders use a Vinyl Ester resin for the layer of fiberglass
next to the surface. Vinyl Ester resins also have better mechanical
properties than polyester resins. This is why the very best boat builders
continue the use of Vinyl Ester resins throughout the laminate. At San
Juan Pools we realize that the back of the pool shell needs to be impervious to
water just as the front, and that the better mechanical properties of Vinyl
Ester resins make for a stronger shell. When looking at the total cost of
a pool project, it does not make sense to use cheap general purpose resins in the manufacturing
of your pool shell. San Juan Pools is the only fiberglass pool builder that uses
Vinyl Ester resin throughout the laminate.
We use a proprietary Vinyl Ester resin bought exclusively
The type of fiberglass reinforcement makes a difference.
The aerospace and marine industries would never think of using chopped
fiberglass for structural components, yet most of the fiberglass swimming pool
industry uses chopped fiberglass for the majority of their shell.
Anything that is sprayed on a mold with a gun is not structural!
Filled resins, ceramic cores and chopped fiberglass make a part thicker
(stiffer) but do not add significantly to the strength of the laminate.
Which do you believe is stronger, a continuous piece of rope or a rope that has
been cut into little pieces and glued together? Woven roving is a fabric
made by weaving continuous strands of fiberglass together. San Juan Pools
uses at least 48oz per square yard of woven roving everywhere, with many areas
of the shell having more than 72 oz per square yard of woven roving.
We use American made fiberglass reinforcement bought
exclusively through
Having the best laminators in
the business makes a difference.
After picking the best materials for our product, we must make sure the
workmanship that goes into our product is also first class. At San Juan
Pools many of our laminators have been with the company for more than 20 years.
This leads to consistency of product. We value our employees as their
sense of quality is second to none.
Having the best management
team in the business makes a difference.
None of this would work without top quality management. We are
certified by the ICC-ES as one of the few manufacturers with a quality control
program that is internationally recognized. This also means our pool
shapes have been inspected as being compliant with NSPI/ANSI-5. This leads
to easier permitting since your inspector knows that the product is certified by
the same company that writes the building code. We are also a licensed
fabricator for the City of Los Angeles. This means our factories have been
inspected and are in compliance with our quality control program. No other
manufacturer has as long of a history, or has been in continuous compliance with
these internationally recognized organizations as San Juan Pools.
The first step in manufacturing your San Juan
Pool Shell is a clean waxed mold.
Next we cut materials (All fiberglass is hand
laid, none of our reinforcement is shot out of a gun)
All of our shells have a minimum of 48 oz per
square yard of woven roving everywhere.
First we apply the surface. Then we skin this with 1.5 oz
per square foot of chopped strand mat. Then we lay up the pool in panels
with each panel consisting of a 1.5 oz mat, a 24 oz woven roving, a 1.5 oz mat,
and another 24 oz woven roving. Deep pools get an additional layer of mat and
woven roving.
The pools are hand laid in panels.
Ribs are strategically placed to stiffen the
We have two types of surface finishes.
Our White and Sulli Blue pools use an
NPG/ISO (Neopentyl Glycol Isophathalic) based Gelcoat. This is specially formulated for the pool
industry, it is UV stabilized and corrosion resistant. The strength of
this finish is well proven with many pools having this finish that are well over
25 years old. As crystal clear water will always have a sparkling blue
look many pool owners see this as the most beautiful of all finishes.
We also have our new
Iridium colored finishes. This is a
solid surface material consisting of oven cured colored chips in a clear UV and
chemical resistant clear resin. This surface finish is backed up by a
color matched gelcoat that acts as a barrier coat as well as a primer for the
We thoroughly clean and inspect every part
when it is pulled off the mold.
All imperfections are repaired. This takes time, but only
perfection is good enough for a San Juan Pool.
Pools are tiled and outfitted as needed.
Finally, a beautiful San Juan Pool Shell is ready
to become part of your backyard dream.

SAN DIEGO — The Giants are playing their best baseball in weeks, and before Saturday's game, they got another piece of good news.
A rained-out game against the Cincinnati Reds will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July 23, giving the Giants an extra game at AT&T Park.
The Giants and Reds were rained out on July 4, sending the Giants home early at the end of a 1-8 road trip. There were few options in terms of makeup dates. The teams shared an open date on August 29, but that would have required players on both sides to agree to break CBA rules and play 34 straight days. The other option was to play the day after the regular season ends.
Instead, the Reds will be the designated home team in the first game of a doubleheader July 23 at AT&T Park. The Giants will be the home team in the second game. The doubleheader is part of a four-game series at AT&T Park. Tickets for the originally scheduled July 23 game between the Giants and Reds will be good for both games.

iron oxides
Fe2O2 or Fe2O3 • H2O
Mars Orange is a bright, extremely light red and appears almost pinkish when contrasted with darker colors. It has incredible tinting strength and opacity. The synthetic form of Mars Orange is made from iron oxides and is cleaner, brighter, and denser than its ochre-based counterparts.
Mars Orange has good permanence and lightfastness.
Mars Orange has no significant hazards.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Orange has been manufactured as a pigment since the 17th century.
aluminum silicate
An off-white pigment with complex reflective effects, mica is often used with transparent pigments to create mixed pigments with interference and pearlescent effects.
Mica is permanent and lightfast.
Although it is completely non-toxic and not bioreactive, fine particles may be irritating. This is of concern primarily for those exposed occupationally to dry mica powder. Breathing mica particles may cause lung fibrosis and pneumoconiosis.
Mica has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

The standard MAF curve(s) are of little use because a) The data does not extend to very high frequencies (i.e. it usually stops between 15 and 20 kHz), and b) the data is based on median results. Ideally, I would like real data to confirm the anecdotal evidence that young and/or gifted listeners can hear up to 25kHz (or beyond?). Equal loudness data would be useful too, but the most useful information would be an indication (very very roughly) of the % of listeners of a particular age who can hear a particular frequency at a particular amplitude. Is there anything like this in the published literature? I have looked several times, but everything I find stops at 16kHz! Also, anything other than median results seems very thin on the ground. Thanks in anticipation of any help - any pointers would be very greatfully received! Cheers, David. http://www.David.Robinson.org/ P.S. I can't see the local primary school being too keen to lend out children for a high frequency listening test - is this the reason no one else has studied this?

FAA says spy plane confused LAX air-traffic control
WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday that the air-traffic control problem in Los Angeles last week was sparked by a U2 spy plane that essentially confused the agency's aging computers.
The U2 typically flies nearly twice as high as commercial airliners, but its flight path on Wednesday was interpreted as being much lower, according to the FAA. Making sure the erroneous lower flight plan wouldn't jeopardize other planes consumed "a large amount of available memory and interrupted the computer's other flight-processing functions," the agency said.
"The computer system interpreted the flight as a more typical low-altitude operation and began processing it for a route below 10,000 feet," the FAA said.
No planes ever got dangerously close to each other, but the problem canceled 50 flights at Los Angeles International Airport and delayed 455 flights, according to the airport. Impacts of the delays were felt at airports across the country.
The agency corrected the problem within about an hour and added more available memory for the computer to prevent it from happening again.
"The FAA is confident these steps will prevent a recurrence of this specific problem and other potential similar problems going forward," the FAA said.
The problem involved the regional Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center in Palmdale, which tracks planes between airports across Southern California and parts of Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
The computer, one of 20 across the continental USA, is part of a system called En Route Automation Modernization. The system is being upgraded from 1960s-era technology even as it continues to operate, a difficult process that the Government Accountability Office warned was nearly four years behind schedule and $330 million more expensive than estimated.
But FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, in a speech Friday at the International Aviation Club, said 18 of 20 centers across the country are running the new computer system and 15 are using it exclusively.
He said all 20 centers would be running the new ERAM system by next March, which would allow the retirement of the previous computer system.
Huerta said upgrading the computers was crucial to shifting all air-traffic control to a more-precise satellite based system called NextGen, rather than ground-based radar.
"Why is this important? Our legacy automation was limited by its processing speed and many air traffic facilities could only accept a limited number of radar inputs," Huerta said.
"Trying to run NextGen on this legacy platform would be like trying to connect to the internet using a 20-year-old laptop with dial-up."

Maybe it was the two and a half months trapped underground, or perhaps rescued Chilean miner Edison Peña always was a blue-collar guy just waiting for the chance to unleash his inner Elvis. Whatever the case, Peña charmed "Late Show" host David Letterman and a national TV audience Thursay by belting out his own rendition of Presley's "Suspicious Minds." Watch:
Apparently Peña used to sing to himself to pass the time while waiting to be rescued. He seems none the worse for his ordeal!

Bethel needs the
outside interactio'n
For the first time since the Bethel Student Association
dropped out of the National Student Association five years
ago, our school was represented at the NSA meetings when
they were held at Macalester several weeks ago. Representatives
of the Clarion staff were invited to attend the
meetings as well as other Association members. We couldn't
resist the chance to interact with students from the outside,
so we went along.
We were immediately impressed with the reception Bethel
students received. "We didn't expect to see Bethel represented
here, but we're sure glad you came!" was the response
offered by several.
Of particular interest to us was a seminar led by Michael
Lee, student association president of Macalester. The session
was a lesson on working with administrators. Lee, a prelaw
student, is an expert in this field having negotiated
an acceptable compromise with the Macalester administration
over student demands made this fall for the minorities
program. We were impressed by the humble spirit he showed
and the matter-of-fact presentation he gave on the Macalester
problem _ . making sure to cover both sides of the issue.
The exchange of ideas which followed the seminar was also
exciting. While the Macalester situation could hardly be
compared to ours here at Bethel we felt the way in which
Lee and others handled the fall demonstrations and sit-in
at Mac was a model for student responsibility.
It could only benefit the Bethel Student Association to
have more intera:ction of the kind we experienced at the
NSA meetings. Certainly this is another effective way to make
our presence felt as Christians called to be students for God.
We hope in the future that the Bethel Student Association
will promote closer relations and more interaction with groups
such as the National Student Association.
After shooting off our mouth at the 'Chapel and Spiritual
Life Committee we feel it is only fair now to commend
them for the fine job they are doing in reassessing thc
position of campus pastor. The questions they asked on
the recent student survey sheet were sound basic questions.
We appreciate that. We hope that the Committee's deci·
sion-making process will be as thorough as its research.
Note: This is our last issue of the semester. We don't know
about you, but we're more than ready for the vacation.
Have a great Christmas. We resume publication during

Food Servi'c,e employee
defends current food prices
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter in an attempt to give the student
body some understanding of the Bethel Food Service. Having
been a student of Bethel last year and the year before,
I have said, "The Food Service is a 'rip off!' They have
to be making money hand-over-fist." What I did not know
were the actual facts.
Being a full-time staff member now I've seen some
"behind the scenes" facts. My job involves compiling a chart
on daily income and expenditures in the Food Service. I
see where the money goes, how much profit there is, etc.
The following are a few facts I would like to pass
F'act 1 - Although estimates of the rise in the cost
of living run from 12 percent to 16 percent in the last
year, Food Service has changed prices and portions in only
three places.
roast beef
entree salads
last year
80c per 3 oz. portion - 27c an oz.
15c for two 1 oz. cookies
55c per salad
this year
90c per 4 oz. portion - 24c an oz.
15c for two % oz. cookies (one-fourth less)
65c per salad
Fact 2 - Last year the profit Food Service made
was three cents on the dollar. In other words for every
dollar you spent last year all except three cents was used
to buy the food, pay student workers and staff, replace
flatware, trays, dishes and purchase pap'er supplies and
cleaning supplies. The percentage of profit for this year
will not be apparent until the end of the school year.
Fact 3 - The profit made by Food Service goes back

Dear Editor,
Every college has a few policies that don't exactly make
sense. Bethel is no exception. One of those policies that I
am currently trying to figure out is that of admission charges
to athletic events like football and basketball. .
Feeling obligated to attend at least one of Bethel's foot ...
ball games I whipped out my ragged I.D. and proceeded
through the gate. But a friend who had the misfortune of
having graduated from here last spring was forced to pay
$2 to see the game . ./"
Now that basketball has started the same policy holds.
Another friend who graduated last year paid $2 to watch
a game that didn't get interesting until they put in the
B-squad. Both of these friends could have used old I.D.'s
but didn't since they are true blue and loyal, used to the
Bethel lifestyle of being honest and forking over money.
It seems fair to ask outsiders to pay admission -
maybe $1.25 or so; but people who have given four years
of their time and a great deal of money to this institution,
who still express an interest in the progress of team
sports at Bethel should not be asked to pay. An old LD.
or an old roster should be enough to prove that they've
put in their time and deserve a break.

[_ _Ii _fe~t~o_g_et_h_e·r ______1
by Mark Johnson
After a holiday of thanksgiving and praise, the community
gathers together once again to give a last surge of effort
to accomplish the-unfinished task, the fall term. This holiday
was unique in many ways for the country as a whole and for
myself as one member of Bethel's community. It was spent
in a hospital bed in Room 141, Midway Hospital. I found
that I was not alone in this position, my closest friends
found themselves flat on their backs with the flu (many
others in the community found themselves in a like situation).
This brought me to the issue of being alone in the
"Let him who is not in community beware of being
alone." (Life Together, Bonhoffer, p. 77)
Within the walls of a hospital room one can either feel
the despondency of being alone or sense the closeness and
warmth of real Christian fe~lowship. This week I have sensed
the real importance of a loving and witnessing community.
Through the actions' and lives of many brothers and sisters,
as well as teachers, the Spirit has worked in and around
my room. What an exciting experience to share Christ and
His love as a community to many who are alone in their
worlds of anxiety and despair! Those who entered my room
this week shared with me, not only as their brother in
, Christ, but indirectly witnessed to my roommate and nurses
who waited upon me. It was truly a blessing to be ministered
to by the Bethel community as well as my own
church community.
It seems that many at school today are missing this rich
. enjoyment and fulfillment in serving Christ in a local ministry,
if it be in a church, youth work, or a choir. The
call to Christ is to function locally as a member as well
as part of the . whole body of Christ. Many student's I have
talked to that have left school regret not being active in
the possible opportunities that were in front of them. I hope
we can learn from them.
We are not alone when we are called to be members
of Christ's body. Luther said, "If I die, then I am not alone
in death; if I suffer they (the fellowship) suffer with me."
(Life Together, p. 77)
"Let him who cannot be alone beware of community."
The greatest danger in community comes in an imbalance:
either running from God and always having others
around, or, ' the other extreme of secluding oneself from
others ("all I ,need is my Bible and the Holy Spirit").
"E'ach by itself has profound pitfalls and perils. One
who wants fellowship without solitude plunges into th'e void
of wOFds and feelings, and the one who seeks solitude
without fellowship p'erishes in the abyss of vanity, self in·
fatuation, and despair." (Life Together p. 78)
HLet him -who cannot be alone beware of community.
Let him who is not in community beware of being alone."
Don't forget the Festival of Christmas this weekend.
Performances start this evening at 7 :30 p.m. and continue
Saturday ni2'ht at 7 :30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
At press time, tickets were still available only for the
Sunday performance. The Festival Choir will perform
"The 'Many Moods of Christmas" by 'Robert Shaw.
Brushaber visits Bethel,
finds it a place to minister,
and be ministered to
Editor's note: During his recent visit to the Bethel campus,
Dr. George -Brushaber, who will ta~e over 6S dean of the
college in May, was interviewed by members of the Clarion
staff. The following are the highlights of that interview.
C: What are-your initial impression8 of Bethel? .
B: My impressions are very positive. I am very impressed
by the degree of student leadership that I've seen. Whp.n
I look at the number of co-curricular groups that are meeting,
the kinds of activities of a social nature, those of a
service nature, Christian witness, this ... all speaks very well
of the kind of maturing process that must be taking place
here: I happen to believe that learning is not restricted to
the laboratory, the library, or the lecture hall.
e: Do you have any plans right now to bring some of those
teachers who were recently laid off at 'Westmont to Bethel?
B: I do not. First of all, I don't know what openings
are available at Bethel. And also, the faculty at Westmont
and the students are engaged in a fund-raising effort, including
a telethon, in which they hope to raise $100,000.
If that is successful it will permit us to restore some of
the programs we had to cut at Westmont. I do not have
any direct plans to bring anyone here.
C: What were your highest priorities in your responsibilities
as dean of Westmont?
B: One of the areas in which I think I have strength and
could contribute in is the area of curriculum development
and philosophy of education.
Another area in which I am deeply committed personally
is the development of faculty. I believe the whole
nature of education has to be undersood in terms of
development. The purpose of a college is the development
of students; not simply their content areas, but broadly
speaking, all of their personal, emotional, physical and spiritual
dimensions. The same thing is true of faculty and administrators.
One of the facets to my job is to be responsible
for the personal and professional development of faculty
Brushaber appears in first press conference of'
his new administration.
members, to assist them to achieve their own personal goals,
to find their career fulfilling, to go through the proper stages
of adjustment and development as they pass into middle
age and then into later years. ,
C: Could you share with us some of the background of your
Christian experience? .
B: My father was a minister, I grew up in a Christian
home. I made my commitment to Christ, but not without some
uncertainty as to what that meant vocationally. I knew that
I had a call to minister and yet I also knew how difficult
the pastoral ministry was, having grown up in a minister's
home. I also felt a call to work in higher education.
One of the things I see personally as an opportunity for
me, because of the relationship between the College and the
Conference, because of the presence of the seminary on the
campus, and because of Bethel's longstanding commitment
to serve the - Church, is to combine both of thos'e calls.
I feel very committed to the life of the Church and to its
growth and nurture.
C: Do you see the Christian ministry as basically being
fulfilled within tire church?
B: Basically, yes~
C: How much student contact did you have at Westmont?
B: Frustratingly little. For the first time this spring I will

I ask your thought for my expending breath!
Come sit beneath the laughing poplar here,
We'll crunch along the path again; the gate
We'll reach before night's crisp-air-time descends.
Mama! Come see what I have found for us!
Among the broken brown a yellow leaf.
And here, a dandelion frost has missed
A caterpillar in my hand is curled
But he is not cacooned-up yet this fall.
You are a puzzle child! What worth is found
In scraps of nature, dirty doubtless, those
Solitary bits of 'summer's wealth.
Just wait, for you will treasure armfuls!
Now come and rest with me; be still in time-
Oh see! A painted butterfly has danced
About my hair! She tips and lights the air
With joyful colors - dawn-like wings; her time
She quickly flutters by - still quicker then
I'll chase to capture, treasure her small life!
Child, stop! Your chase is futile. Run no more,
For you will never touch the spritely thing.
Now just wi.thin my reach - I will Mama!
My years know better! Never can we touch -
Forever now is mine in which to run!

Fills my life with its zest from my soul to my heart,
And caresses the earth with its life.!giving art.
Oh, the joy it bestows on my night-ridden eyes,
As it leaps and it bounds or'e the wakening ·skies.
How it differs each day as it climbs from its bed, '
And dispels with Its light the dark fear and dread.
Oh, forever it stands in its seasonal course,
Holding fast to the earth with infallible force.
Through the .last days we live, in confusion and doubt,
When the almighty sun shall then burn itself out.

I saw you once,
But once lasted for days upon days.
And when it was black,
We walked sunbeams warm,
days gone by.
Now I am searching,
Not knowing if you are anywhere,
or nowhere,
or were.
My mind taunts me, tells me
To look someplace else.
But they said to look in the house.
but not you.
Outside sunny inside snowing (despair).
I am cold
In that solitude I hear your voice.
You have waited a long long time
For me to return
As nothing.

Hurried eyes depicted their dreams,

Prevention, tougher courts battling rapists
by Steve Harris
Editor's note: This is the sooond of a two· part series dealing
with the crime of rape. It is based on a panel diSCUSSion
recently held at Bethel a.s part of , "Crime and Criminal
Justice Week."
Jim Coleman is around 35 years old, a husky, fullbearded,
soft-spoken young man. Currently he works as a
Minnesota correctional sergeant, but the road he followed
to that position has been a rugged one. As he shares his
story, his tone is quiet, almost apologetic.
"I was arrested several times as a sex-offender. I
finally ended up in Stillwater Prison on a burglary charge.
After my offenses I felt guilty and depressed. I knew I
needed help, but I didn't get any in prison. Mter I · got out
I went to a clinic in Kansas for treatrrient."
The help Jim got there was short-lived. Arrested a third
time in Mimiesota, he found himself . back in Stillwater.
"I realized then that I didn't like being in prison. And
I knew I was getting older. I guess it took me a long
time to really look at myself."
While in prison he enrolled in college courses and, after
his parole, acquired a degree in Criminal Law and Justice.
Mter working in construction, while under treatment at
Hennepin County Medical Center, he got a job as a prison
guard which led to his present posItion. .
What is · it that made Jim Coleman a sex-offender? Wa$
it a perverted sexual attitude? Was it the result of his
sexual frustration? He claims that these factors, commonly
associated with sexual criminals, were not the only reasons
he was involved in those acts.
"Guys don't rape women just because they're sexually
'frustrated," he explains. "There are other factors and pressures
involved besides purely sexual olles."
Whatever the reasonS for sexual attacks, the fact that
they are a social menace is unquestionable. The burden of
their prevention falls upon local police fonces, and the results
they are achieving are far from extraordinary. Why
is that? One of the reasons, says Ms. ,Carolyn Bailey, a
sergeant on the St. Paul Police Sex-Homicide Unit, lies in
our judicial system.
"In St. Paul," she explains, "88 percent of the rapists
are identified following their attack. What this means is:
if you are attacked it is very likely that your attacker will
be identified. But it is very unlikely that he will be convicted."
Many women's rights groups claim that this sifuation
exists because the rape victim herself is treated as a criminal.
They contend that a male-dominated court system considers
the victim "guilty" before she can prove her sexual innocence,
directly contrary to the principles of American justice.
While this unfair attitude on the part of the courts has undoubtedly
been a factor in low-conviction rates, another
difficulty has been in a.ttaining medical substantiation for an
"If a woman is sexually active," says Dr. J. Dutt,
pediatrician at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital, "it is almost
impossible to medically prove that she has been raped.
If she is a virgin, it can be substantiated. It is sad but true
that if a woman is beaten up she has a better chance of seeing
her attacker convicted."
The problem of poor attitudes in the courts is changing,
says Sgt. Bailey.
"Ten years ago the only way to get a rape conviction
was if it involved a 65-year-old nun with a medical -report
proving that she was a virgin. But juries are changing;
they're more ready to convict. Consequently, we are getting
more convictions than we would have gotten ten years ago.
Ironically, the worst jury, if you want to see your rapist con:
victed, is made up of 12 women."
Changes in attitudes are leading to more realistic conviction
rates for the crime of rape. Other areas where
improvements are evident are those of victim-treatment and
rape prevention.
Dr. Dutt, who is also co-chairperson of Sex Offense
Services (SOS), a 24-hour Twin Cities organization initiated
by county agencies to help sexual-crime victims, believes
that hospitals are becoming more sensitive to the rap'e
"It used to be that the victim was ignored. We never
really deal with her problems. But we are growing more
sensitive to her in the hospital. We give her priority in the
Emergency Room; we no longer immediately ask her to undress
in the examination room. Most importantly, we talk
to her and 'let her know exactly what the procedure is going
to be. .
Rape prevention is also a growing concern. Self-defense
courses designed for womert are offered on college campuses
nation-wide. Demands for better protection and lighting in
public parking lots are also widespread. These measures; designed
to lessen the chance that a woman has of being
attacked, are being promoted as positive steps in the right
direction . .
But even more i~portant than individual protection,
stressed the participants of this panel, is the need for changes
in social attitudes.
"Communication is an important factor if we are to face
rape intelligently," says Sgt. Bailey. "We must stop talking
about it as a tantalizing subject, and we must start to discuss
it rationally. The more we know about it and dis-cuss
it, the easier it will be for all of us to change those attitudes
which in the past have been so harmful."
Rape. It is a crime of violence that for too long has
been enveloped 'in sexual mystique and ignoran~. As we
begin to communicate openly and intelligently about it, perhaps
that ignorance will vanish. And as changed attitudes
result in improved rape prevention and judicial conviction
rates, perhaps the American woman, who is .now hardly more
than prey on the streets, will no longer walk in fear.

BetheJ/s ca'mpus may be
se,clud'edi but ho!w safe?
by Rhollda. Dye
"Bethel? Oh, it's a safe place. I doubt that much would
happen out here. We're ' so removed from everything."
"We have nothing to fear; the Lord wouldn't allow anything
to happen to us outside of His will."
Opinions about rape such as these are not uncommon
among those of the Bethel community, in spite of several
incidents that occurred earlier in the year. This fall, two
children were molested on Beth'el's campus. Several weeks
ago, a strange man walked into an unlocked townhouse at
3 a.m. Two weeks ago, Hagstrom dorm entertained the presence
of two unwelcomed visitors in the wee hours of the
morning. These episodes along with statistics revealing a
rapid increase in rape, should cause one to question the
safety of Bethel's campus. Is Bethel immune to such tragedies?
Is there reason for concern?
Contrary to those comments above" Marilyn Starr, dean of
women says, "Yes, there is cause for concern. You cannot
feel secure though our campus is a secluded place. Exhibitionists
and rapists look for areas such as ours. We are
very vulnerable to these problems."
"Policemen have told me that Bethel girls are so terribly
naive and this attracts these types of characters," continued
Miss Starr. "Girls don't realize the trouble that they/
are asking- for when they don't lock their doors, pull their
shades and go out alone at night." .
Miss Starr says that failure to recognize the seriousness
of the situation and 'failure to take precautions is not
only being irresponsible to oneself, but also to the community
at large. "Our kids are so naively trusting; they don't
understand responsibility t9wards other people. When they fail
to protect themselves and fail to understand the reality of
what .could possibly happen they are asking for trouble;
they aren't being responsible."
Phyllis Melseather, houseparent for the women's townhouse
units is in agreement with Miss Starr. "It is fool.
ishness to think that Bethel is some kind of utopia. Our
campus is too close to two main highways to think that
we are danger free."
"It's when kids are oblivious to the problem that the danger
is greater. So many times, they just don't think,"
continued Mrs. Melseather. "Some of them, wanting attention,
go storming out of their townhouses at night. Sometim~
they may get more attention than they bargained for."
There is no need to be fearful or panicky, says Mrs.
Melseather. But caution should be exercised. "The Lord gave
us brains to use; but sometimes we're too stupid to use
our common sense." -

parent for Bodien, expressed her dismay over the careless
attitudes of some. "I don't know what more we can do to
make girls realize the danger that they are.,setting themselves
up for .. when they don't pull their shades and leave
the doors unlocked," she said, in an exasperated tone.
'''Not only that," she added, "but they are endangering the
safety of all the others in the dorm as well."
"We've had men "Come and try 'the back doors, ' Ron
.has had to chase them away. Nothing serious has yet
happened on old campus this year, but there have been a
number of incidents that haVe occured in the surrounding
neighborhood," she continued.
Arden Hills Chief of Police Pat Sexton said that although
the BEi!thel campus is generally safe the potential for danger
is still there. "Nothing serious has happened yet, but that
doesn't mean it can't or won't. Sometimes when I'm driving
through tl}e campus I see girls walking into the hills alone.
They should always go in pairs day or night. If anything
looks the slightest bit suspicious notify us right away. We
want to know," urged Saxon.
The beginning of prevention starts with the recogni-'
tion of the problem. Awareness enables us to become responsible
and act responsibly. As members of a community
our responsibility extends beyond ourselves; we are responsible
to one another.

be teaching a course. I would very much hope that I could
, either team-teach a class with a faculty member here at
Bethel or occasionally do a course on my own. I'm also
concerned with contact with the students outside of the formal
classroom. In that area I had quite . a bit of opportunity
at Westmont.
0: What were tbe main fa.ctors in your choosing to come
to' Bethel?
B: Frankly, I ,found myself unfulfilled and restless on the
job (at Westmont) in relation to the goals and aspirations
I have. The faculty has been very supportive, as was the
Board of Trustees, so it's not that I'm out of sorts with
anyone. But I'm not at rest with myself. I've averaged
less than one preaching opportunity a year. After 12 years
of preaching regularly and feeling called to preach - though
not called to a pastoral ministry - that frustrated me.
And I have been frustrated by my inability to have contact
with students in the classroom and inadequate contact outside
of the classroom.
That's why I left. Why I came is that those kind of
personal things stand a better chance of being fulfilled here.
At least I've been assured by everybody .that they will be.
0: What has been your initial reactio.n to the Betbel ad·
ministration? .
B: I am very impressed with the administrative team at Bethel
and I look fQrward to working with a man of Dr.
. Lundquist's stature.

St. Thomas matmen
salvage tie, 24-24
by nan Joling
Battling back from an early 18-6 deficit, the St. Thomas
wrestling team won six of ten matches to salvage a tie with
Bethel 24-24, in a match scheduled on Thanksgiving eve.
Despite the irregular time of the meeting, another good
crowd was on hand to lend vocal support to the grapplers.
Bethel gained an early 12-0 advantage by virtue of
forfeits in St. Thomas' 118 and 126 pound classes. However,
due to an injury to Ken Firtko at 142, St. Thomas picked
up six free points of their own.
Wrestling in irregular order, Bethel's 150 pound freshman
Bill Helwig pinned St. Thomas' Louis Reid to give the
Royals their 12 point lead.
The Tommies fought back with a decision in the 134
pound class and a pin at 158, cutting the Royals lead to three
points with four matches remaining.
Bethel recorded its final points when Jeff Zitzloff pinned
former Mound teammate John Heitkamp in a well-fought
167 pound match, again boosting the margin to nine.
From then on it was all St. Thomas, as Bethel dropped
narrow decisions in their three heaviest weights and watched
what would have been their first victory over St. Thomas
in four years slip away.
The Royals will be looking to improve their record away
from home tomorrow as they enter the St. Mary's quadrangular.
Their next home meet is Wednesday at 7 p.m.
against Wisconsin State University-Eau Claire. A week from
today, December 13, the Royals take on the University of
Minnesota-Duluth and Gustavus in a triangular at 7 p.m.

Bethel ge'ts first wi'n,

by Keith Kramer
The basketball team got its first win of the season last
week against Upper Iowa College 86-66. They dropped their
other three games by scores of 56-47 to Minnesota-Morris,
96-80 to Stout State and 68-44 to Northland.
Against the Upper Iowa College Peacocks, the Royals
looked impressive at both ends of the floor. Led offensively
by Mark Robertson's 19 points in the first half, the Royals
were out in front 38-28 at halftime. The defense slowed
the Peacock's fast break to a crawl and shut off the passes
inside forcing the Peacocks to shoot from the outside.
In the second half Bethel jumped to a 48-31 lead and
Upper Iowa switched from a zone to man-to-man defense.
Bethel countered by driving along the baseline or lobbing the
ball to Wayne Hallquist or Paul Healy and streched its
lead to 65-41 with 10 :21 to play.
The Peacocks then tried a man-to-man press in an effort
to get back in the game, but the strategy backfired, giving
the Royals ten points by way of the free throw line in the
next eight minutes.

Could someone explain why, if in fact the delay is due to the payload, SpaceX cannot swop out one payload for another and use the launch window for another customer?Was there not enough time to reconfigure the F9? Is it a question of hardware? Orbital mechanics?I'm sure SpaceX has considered this, but I cannot find any explanation/discussion on this website.
thx for the info, makes a lot of sense.In keeping with Elon's analogy of airplane travel, eventually a "standby" option for alternative, compatible payloads could be the solution for this particular piece of the puzzle. A launch window is a terrible thing to waste!
So NROL effectively cost SpaceX $62m of lost revenue for the 2017 calendar year. That's based on the two week launch cadence that SpaceX now seems capable of, barring external delays.
Quote from: M.E.T. on 04/07/2017 07:34 pmSo NROL effectively cost SpaceX $62m of lost revenue for the 2017 calendar year. That's based on the two week launch cadence that SpaceX now seems capable of, barring external delays.SpaceX won't build enough rockets this year for a typical delay like this to matter the way you suggest. The company has already begun what will be a huge push to fly Falcon Heavy. That will take up weeks of schedule for no revenue payload launched. In effect, SpaceX itself will be responsible for multiple $62 millions of "lost revenue" as you see it. - Ed Kyle
As far as I know, SpaceX is core-constrained and there are plenty of payloads on both ranges. I imagine they can compensate somewhat on KSC delays with Vandenberg launches.
No such thing as "plenty of payloads on both ranges"
Quote from: Jim on 04/10/2017 01:29 pmNo such thing as "plenty of payloads on both ranges"More explicitly, if SpaceX slips NROL-76, that might free up a core for Iridium two weeks earlier.
NRO will have a specific core
Quote from: Jim on 04/10/2017 02:08 pmNRO will have a specific coreYes, but the others that NRO is pushing back do not.
Before the delay, static fire was scheduled for 12 April. Is SpaceX going to keep to this date (or something similar) even if the launch will not be until weeks later?That would assume (a) the delay is not related to the vehicle and (b) it would not have taken a herculean effort / overtime to make the 12th and without that schedule requirement the folks who do the work won't be made to work as many hours
There's a lot of manifest-y stuff here, stuff about other payloads, stuff about NROL-76 slip hypothetically costing SpaceX money, that is really not actually about NROL-76. I'd suggest these discussions are better suited for another thread or threads. Can we try and keep it on topic about the NROL-76 launch please?

The Meat on the Bones
I am passionate about genealogy. I think this comes from the need to have something that belongs to me but also many others at the same time. I enjoy that the people in my family tree are "my people." Yet, I am also fascinated by the fact that "my people" belong to many other people with traditions, memories and stories very different from my own. To me, the most interesting part of genealogy is the stories and events that go with each ancestor. Genealogists often focus on the facts: birth/death dates, marriage dates, number of children. But I don't often hear about The Meat on the Bones. I have worked on my particular family tree for years, but have just recently discovered how much more interesting it is to know what the lives of my ancestors were like, rather than just knowing that they "were." Walking in their footsteps, literally, helps me to feel closer to these individuals than any headstone ever could. I have found many interesting and helpful resources through my family heritage travels and look forward to sharing these with my fellow genealogists. If I help only one person add some meat to their ancestors bones I feel I will have fulfilled a need to help others find their people.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans and Louisiana-based Smoothie King have reached a 10-year agreement to rename the New Orleans Arena as the Smoothie King Center.
Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha said such a deal had been a "gigantic" piece of owner Tom Benson's business plan since he bought the long-struggling small-market franchise from the NBA in the spring of 2012.
"Finding a naming rights partner was key to the long-term financial viability of this franchise in this market," Lauscha said.
Benson, who has owned the Saints since 1985, purchased city's NBA franchise — formerly called the Hornets — for $338 million and has consolidated the headquarters and many of the business operations of both clubs. The hope was that with the two franchises sharing resources and cross-promoting one another, the region could better support two major professional sports teams.
Officials with both the club and Smoothie King declined to release financial terms of the deal, which also gives Smoothie King an option for a 10-year extension.
Smoothie King owner Wan Kim said sponsoring an NBA arena in New Orleans helps his company demonstrate its commitment to the community where it is based while promoting its brand globally.
Smoothie King, founded in suburban New Orleans in 1973, has 674 locations in 31 states and in Asia, and is looking to expand both nationally and overseas, Smoothie King President Tom O'Keefe said. Of 30 NBA cities, 21 currently have Smoothie King franchises, he said.
The arena is officially being renamed on Thursday, in time for next week's NBA All-Star festivities in New Orleans.
Kim, a native of South Korea who attended college and business school in the United States, bought the company in July 2012. He said he initially considered moving its headquarters to Atlanta or Dallas.
"I started to realize a lot of people who live in New Orleans, for them, it's very difficult to leave the city," Kim said. "It's a very different city. It's very unique, culturally, and I did start to see why people didn't want to move.
"At the same time, I did feel our root is here and I shouldn't give up on that," Kim said. "Not only did we decide not to move out, but we are pretty much telling you (with the naming rights deal) that our group is here and we are sticking with it."
As part of the agreement, Smoothie King will be airing commercials during Pelicans broadcasts, as well as sponsoring pregame and postgame segments.
The company's smoothies will also be available at concession stands around the arena.
Team officials said there were "two or three" other candidates for a naming rights deal, but that Smoothie King's interests seemed most aligned with the Benson's goals of promoting the business climate in his home state.
"There's no more perfect story to say how businesses can root themselves in New Orleans and grow," said Rita Benson LeBlanc, Benson's granddaughter and a part owner of the Pelicans and Saints. She added that the agreement is "a testament to how New Orleans has recovered (from Hurricane Katrina) and how Louisiana is redefining itself as an economic development engine."
The deal might have been completed before this season began, but because Smoothie King products contain nutritional supplements, NBA rules required that all of the company's products be tested to ensure there were no banned substances.
LeBlanc said that process took about eight months.
"We couldn't have any question as to what are the contents of the products that Smoothie King actually offers," LeBlanc said.
