Reba McEntire to Star in TV Series Based on 'Fried Green Tomatoes'
Reba McEntire will star in an NBC television series based on the novel and movie Fried Green Tomatoes, according to a report from Variety. The show, executive produced by iconic writer and producer Norman Lear, is a modern-day take on the award-winning movie and New York Times bestseller.
Written by Fannie Flagg, 1987's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the story of the friendship between housewife Evelyn Couch and nursing home resident Ninny Threadgoode. During weekly visits, Ninny tells Evelyn stories from her youth in Whistle Stop, Ala. Both the book and its 1991 movie adaptation, which stars Kathy Bates, Mary-Louise Parker and others, were lauded for their exploration of racism, aging and a lesbian relationship between Idgie Threadgoode, Ninny's younger sister-in-law, and her friend Ruth Jamison.
The new Fried Green Tomatoes series will follow a present-day Idgie Threadgoode, played by McEntire, who is returning to Whistle Stop after a decade away. Per Variety, "she must wrestle with a changed town, estranged daughter, faltering cafe and life-changing secret."
McEntire is executive producing the show along with Lear -- who also executive produced the Fried Green Tomatoes movie -- and his production partner Brent Miller. 90210 writer Jennifer Cecil has signed on as an executive producer and the series' writer as well, as has Flagg, who also co-wrote the FGT screenplay.
Fried Green Tomatoes is the latest in a string of television and film projects from McEntire, whose six-season television series Reba earned her a Golden Globe nomination. The 2018 Kennedy Center Honor recipient recent guest-starred on Young Sheldon and will co-host the upcoming 2020 CMA Awards.

Sara hails from a small town in the West Midlands of England. Her parents are both music teachers, so naturally music was an important part of her childhood. She played tympani and double bass in school and local orchestras as a teenager, until the day she discovered the power of electricity and the bass guitar.
After playing with a couple local bands, she moved to London and worked as a secretary at Polydor Records. It was here that she was discovered by the legendary Robert Fripp, who was encouraged to stay at a show to see "a girl who works in the office."
Sara went on to work with Robyn Hitchcock and Gang of Four in England, and later moved to the United States. In 1996 and 1997 she accompanied singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco on tours of Europe and North America, as documented on the double live album Living in Clip. She has played with many other known and respected artists in the music business, including the B-52's, the Indigo Girls, Joan Osborne, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Fiona Apple, and the Thompson Twins.
After taking a turn at vocals during an Indigo Girls soundcheck, Sara started toying with the idea of recording her own solo record. This idea became Make It Beautiful, Sara's solo debut, released on Righteous Babe Records in 2000.
The result is a joyous celebration of the groove: 10 tracks of pop-funk pleasure, in which Sara's dance-driven melodies are partnered with thoughtful lyrics by 5 acclaimed women songwriters—Ani, Emily Saliers (Indigo Girls), Barbara Gogan (The Passions), Kristen Hall, and Pal Shazar. Producer Peter Scherer (Ambitious Lovers) and guest artists Ivan Neville, Pee Wee Ellis, Cyro Baptista, BETTY and Andy Gill join forces with a stellar cast of players to bring Lee's music to life and (you guessed it) make it beautiful.

Gerry Grant, Chief Ethical Hacker with the Scottish Business Resilience Centre (SBRC), said: "It really is essential to make sure that when you submit data to a website via a form that the website is using HTTPS.
"If not, your personal details including usernames, emails, passwords, credit card information are at risk of an easy surrender to cyber criminals."

"There really is no excuse to not having this step in place to protect users of your website. The small cost has now dissolved so it is just case of a comparatively insignificant time investment.

Many people struggle during the winter months with their mental health. It could be the shorter days and darker nights, or it could be related to family issues and the holiday season. People deal with this in different ways, but it can lead to avoidance of social interactions, overeating or emotional eating, as well as a mental fogginess that can lead to negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings.
The survival instinct for many of us, especially those living in extremely cold regions of the world, is to wrap up in a blanket, eat lots of comfort food, and hibernate indoors. But it's important to take inventory of your mental well being as much as your physical. Here are three tips to follow when evaluating your mental health this winter.
Listen to the Needs of Your Body
The winter days are shorter and the nights colder and darker and this definitely has an impact on our internal clocks. This low light can have our bodies ready for sleep earlier than usual in the lighter summer months. You might find yourself going to bed 20-30 minutes earlier than usual. Your body will tell you what it needs so make sure you listen and possibly incorporate a power nap mid-day if necessary.
Nutrition is Key
As previously mentioned, our tendency can often be to eat more and move less in the cold weather. Warm bowls of soup or pasta are often our favorite things when the temperature drops. But feed your hunger wisely and make sure you don't go completely overboard with the comfort foods. Stock your pantry with nutritious food like nuts, crackers and hummus, yogurt and sweet potatoes. This will keep your physical health and your mental health strong through this cold season.
Keep on Moving
When it's cold and snowy or rainy outside, the tendency is to grab a warm blanket and curl up with a book or binge watch the latest show you have been saving for just such weather. And this is a great plan in moderation. It's important that you keep moving even when it's cold outside. Our bodies need movement to stay healthy. If you don't have a time set aside for regular exercise, you should consider adding this to your daily schedule. If you work inside and sit at a desk all day, set an alarm that reminds you to get up every hour and move; take a walk, stretch, or simply take the stairs instead of the elevator. Anything to keep your body in motion. This is a great way to keep your mind active as well.
Our physical and mental health are tied together so make sure they aren't neglecting one or the other. Taking care of them both will set you up for a productive winter and help you welcome Spring with a healthy mind and heart.

Best Hikes in Lake City, Colorado
Location: Southwest Colorado
On CO-149, 55 miles southwest of Gunnison and 119 miles northwest of Alamosa.
Lake City is a great basecamp to enjoy the excellent hiking trails in nearby Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests and the Gunnison BLM district. View Lake City Info
Lake City (8,663-ft.) is a remote little Victorian town situated at the confluence of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River and Henson Creek and surrounded by the Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests and the Gunnison BLM district. The town is located along CO-149, 55 miles south of Gunnison and 74 miles north of South Fork.
With close to one thousand square miles of public land nearby there is no shortage of excellent hiking opportunities. Trails climb the area's five 14,000-ft. peaks, wander through wildflower-filled meadows and traverse vast expanses of alpine tundra. Since this remote corner of the state is still relatively unknown hikers can enjoy a degree of solitude not possible in other areas of the state.
Lake City Hiking Trails
Distance: 2.3 - 5.4 miles (Round Trip)
This terrific hike wanders through beautiful American Basin, visits scenic Sloan Lake and then ascends to the summit of Handies Peak (14,048-ft.) with spectacular panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains.
Distance: 7.8 miles (Round Trip)
Stunning panoramic views are the rewards for hiking to the top Uncompahgre Peak (14,309-ft.), the sixth highest fourteener in Colorado and the highest point in the San Juan Mountains.
Cataract Lake (aka Cataract Gulch)
Distance: 4.2 - 10.0 miles (Round Trip)
Beginning in dense woods the trail passes cascades and waterfalls along Cataract Creek, travels through beautiful alpine meadows and visits a scenic alpine lake on its way to the Continental Divide.
Spring Creek Pass East to Snow Mesa
Distance: 6.4 - 10.0 miles (Round Trip)
Hikers ascending from Spring Creek Pass to the beautiful, tundra-clad plateau of Snow Mesa are rewarded with glorious views of the San Juan Mountains to the west/southwest of the Lake City area. Extend the hike by climbing Baldy Cinco or walking to the ponds at the east end of the mesa.
Distance: 9.0 - 11.8 miles (Round Trip)
A great hike leads to the top of two of the easiest fourteeners to climb in Colorado, Redcloud (14,034 ft.) and Sunshine (14,001 ft.) peaks. From the summits a sea of peaks and ridges extend in all directions, encompassing large swaths of the San Juan Mountains.
Distance: 8.2 miles (Round Trip)
A stiff ascent through aspen groves, forest and meadows leads to pretty Crystal Lake set against the eastern slopes of Crystal Peak. Fine views encompass the vast tundra-clad plateaus to the east and the high peaks towering above Henson Creek to the south.
Distance: 5.0 miles (Round Trip)
This great half day hike ascending Mesa Seco features splendid views of the San Juan Range rising to the west of the Lake City area along with the Slumgullion Earthflow, a huge, slow-moving landside that broke off the west side of mesa.
Spring Creek Pass West to Jarosa Mesa
Distance: 8.8 miles (Round Trip)
Hike a section of the Continental Divide/Colorado Trail from Spring Creek Pass to Jarosa Mesa for great views of the San Juan Range, including Uncompahgre Peak, Matterhorn Peak, Red Mountain, Redcloud Peak and Sunshine Peak.
Distance: 7.6 miles (Round Trip)
This gorgeous hike travels up a seldom visited valley to a scenic lake tucked in a high basin. Here you will experience a level of solitude not found on hikes to the nearby 14ers. Extend the hike by climbing to a saddle overlooking Lee Smelter Gulch to the north.
Distance: 8.0 miles (Round Trip)
The top of Handies Peak offers breathtaking views of the San Juan Mountains. This alternative route to the summit is longer and more strenuous but less traveled than the more popular trail to Handies Peak via American Basin.
Distance: 14.0 miles (Round Trip)
Picturesque groves of mature aspen and beautiful views of the Lake Fork Valley and Uncompahgre Peak are a few of the visual delights on this scenic trail following the Devil's Creek drainage to Devil's Lake, lying beneath the western flanks of the Calf Creek Plateau.
Distance: 7.8 miles (Round Trip)
A stiff climb leads to a scenic bench and a pretty lake high above the east side of the Lake City.
Distance: 7.8 - 9.6 miles (Round Trip)
An interesting hike through forest and meadows to a scenic lake basin nestled beneath the eastern escarpment of the Calf Creek Plateau (12,644-ft.) in the Powderhorn Wilderness.

Around Town
In the late 1800's Lake City served as a supply hub and smelting center for miners in the nearby San Juan Mountains. In its heyday the town saw the construction of more than 500 structures. Mining activity and the population of the town and Hinsdale County peaked around 1900. Over the next century mining activity waned and the town went through a period of decline.
Today the charming Victorian town, a designated national historic district, is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts exploring the area's stunning mountain terrain. Over 200 of Lake City's original Victorian structures, including commercial buildings, churches, homes, cabins and public buildings, still stand, many restored to their former glory.
Highly recommended is an evening stroll along the town's wooden sidewalks and backstreets to see the restored structures from the 1870's and 1880's. Also of interested are the nicely preserved circa 1930-1950 motor court cabins. A pamphlet with a map of the self-guided tour of the historic district is available at the Lake City Visitor Center and the Hinsdale County Museum, at the corner of Second and Silver Street. The museum, run by the Hinsdale County Historic Society and chronicling the area's history, is also worth a visit.
Other short walks around Lake City include the Henson Creek trail and the River Access trail system. A pamphlet and map describing the walking trails is available at the Visitor Center.
For a glimpse of mining life take a tour of the Hard Tack Mine. The underground mine tour describes the tools and techniques used by hard rock miners and includes exhibits explaining local mining history and equipment along with a rock gallery showcasing the mine's huge collection of rocks and minerals. The Hard Tack is located on County Road 20 (the Henson Creek Road) toward Engineer's Pass, just 2.5 miles outside of town.
The Ute-Ulay Mine/Henson Ghost Town, located 3.5 miles out County Road 20, features a shelf-guided walking tour of the 12-acre property. The walk takes visitors by mining structures, a boarding house and an interesting dam. Signs along the way describe the history of the area.
If your dogs are tired from hiking take a drive along the Silver Thread Scenic Byway. The route heads south from Lake City on CO-149 to Windy Point, located just before Slumgullion Pass. From this vantage point panoramic views encompass four 14,000-ft. peaks, Redcloud Peak (14,034 ft.), Sunshine Peak (14,001 ft.), Uncompahgre Peak (14,309-ft.), and Wetterhorn Peak (14,015-ft.), towering above the town to the northwest. Below is Lake San Cristobal and to the north the Slumgullion Earthflow, comprised of two major earthflows. The first flow occurred about 700 years ago when a huge mass of volcanic rock slumped down the valley, damming the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River and creating Lake San Cristobal. The second slide, visible from Windy Point, started 300 years ago and is still moving down the hillside. The bizarre angle of the trees growing along the hillside illustrates the continued movement of the slide.
The byway continues over Slumgullion Pass heading south to Creede, along the way passing through incredibly beautiful landscape. A few miles north of Creede is the turnoff to the Rio Grande Reservoir. The reservoir is stocked with fish and open to boats.
Creede, located near the headwaters of the Rio Grande, is a nicely preserved rustic mining town. The historic structures along the town's main drag, Historic Street, are now home to a few restaurants and shops. Beyond Creede the road parallels the Rio Grande beneath towering cliffs, ending in South Fork.
The byway also heads north from Lake City, again following CO-149 to Blue Mesa Lake and the Curecanti National Recreation Area, located on Highway 50 to the west of Gunnison. There are a number of short hikes in Curecanti, including the Dillon Pinnacles, Pine Creek and Never Sink, that are good rainy day destinations. Stop at the Elk Creek Visitor Center along Highway 50 for more information.
Just two miles south of town on US-149 is the turnoff for County Road 30 (CR 30) leading to Lake San Cristobal. This beautiful lake is a great place for fishing, boating, kayaking and canoeing. The Red Gulch Day Use area at the south end of the lake includes picnic facilities. The county-owned Wupperman Campground is located on the east side of the lake.
Four wheel drive enthusiasts will want to check out the Alpine Loop National Backcountry Byway. The byway is composed of several jeep roads that link Lake City with Ouray and Silverton to the west. The byway's network of roads traverse stunning scenery, visit ghost towns and cross passes up to 12,880-ft. Check with the Lake City Visitor Center at 800 Gunnison Avenue for information on road conditions and technical skills required to navigate the route and the areas other 4WD roads.
Food, Lodging and Services
For a small town Lake City has a nice selection of accommodations, restaurants and retail shops. Accommodations include B&B's, small motels, lodges and cabins in town and at Lake San Cristobal. There are also a variety of homes and apartments available as vacation rentals.
People who prefer camping will find five campgrounds in the Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests near Lake City. There is also the county-owned Wupperman Campground at Lake San Cristobal, located on the east side of the lake. For a list of other public camping facilities got to the Lake City website. There are also a number of private campgrounds and RV parks in the area.
Your first stop in town should be the Visitor Center on 800 Gunnison Avenue, where you can pick up a map, learn about current conditions and get advice on recreation activities and nearby attractions. For groceries the only game in town is the Country Store Grocery at 916 N State Highway 149, which carries the basics needed to assemble a meal.
A wonderful selection of baked goods and fresh bread is available at the Lake City Bakery, at 922 N Highway 149. The Chillin Internet Coffee Shop and Cafe is the best place in town for a caffeine injection. For a complete list of local retail shops and services visit the Lake City Chamber of Commerce.

Q&A with Michael McDonald
For more background about the Phoenix Cluster, including how it was discovered and the meaning of its adopted name, we have interviewed the first author Michael McDonald. Michael has recently started a Hubble postdoctoral Fellowship at the Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He received Bachelor degrees and a Masters of Science from Queen's University in Canada, and a PhD from the University of Maryland. His scientific interests include the observation and study of clusters of galaxies, individual galaxies, and the intracluster plasma that fills the space between galaxies.
Q: Please explain the astronomical justification for calling this the Phoenix Cluster and discuss why the name is meaningful for someone who isn't an astronomer.
A: Traditionally, astronomical objects such as stars, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies were named based on their location in the sky with respect to the constellations. For example, we have the Virgo cluster, the Andromeda galaxy, and Alpha Centauri the stellar system.
As we discover more and more celestial objects, these names become cumbersome, and astronomers, like librarians, use names that allow indexing of the objects. For example, the proper name of this cluster is SPT-CLJ2344-4243, which tells us that it was discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at a position on the sky with a right ascension of 23:44 and a declination of -42:43.
However, due to the extreme nature of this system, we thought it deserved a more classical name. As luck would have it, the cluster is located in the constellation "Phoenix", which was inaccessible to early astronomers due to its proximity to the South Pole, and thus the name "Phoenix Cluster" was still up for grabs.
As it turns out, this name is meaningful beyond the cluster's location in the Phoenix constellation. In the centers of galaxy clusters, astronomers think that the formation of new stars ceased roughly 10 billion years ago, as evidenced by the fact that most nearby clusters contain only old stars in their centers. However, the Phoenix cluster appears to be forming stars at an exceptionally high rate, suggesting that it has somehow come back to life, so to speak.
Q: How was the Phoenix Cluster originally discovered?
A: The Phoenix Cluster was originally discovered by the South Pole Telescope (SPT), a microwave and millimeter-wave telescope, in 2010 as part of the initial 2500 square degree survey, and the detection was published in a paper presenting the most massive SPT-detected clusters by R. Williamson in 2011.
Q: Did you have strong suspicions straight away that this was an exceptional object, based on just the SPT data, or did it take longer such as waiting for the Chandra data?
A: In Williamson's 2011 paper, he stated that "this cluster is measured to have the largest X-ray luminosity of any cluster in this paper," based on archival X-ray data from the now-defunct ROSAT space telescope. At the time, this wasn't terribly significant, as the paper only included 26 clusters and the X-ray luminosity was highly uncertain. The cluster was essentially forgotten about at that point, until in summer of 2011 when we observed the cluster with Chandra as part of a large, X-ray Visionary Project to observe the 80 most massive SPT-selected clusters. It was immediately apparent from the Chandra image that this cluster was exceptionally luminous and amongst the most massive clusters in the Universe.
Q: Was there a "Eureka moment" when you obtained the first few star formation estimates, or were you and your collaborators more cautious, based on just a small number of measurements?
A: By nature I'm an extreme optimist, so the moment I saw the first optical spectrum I thought that this could be a unique cluster. We just so happened to have observing time at Magellan the same month, so we made observing this cluster a priority. The spectra from this fortuitously-timed run are those presented in the Nature article. The combination of the optical spectra, and the archival UV data (another happy coincidence!) was enough to convince me that this was an extreme starburst. Of course, to convince the more pessimistic scientist, we performed a careful analysis in the article, ruling out several alternative hypotheses.
Q: Do you have any interesting stories about the discovery process, including your efforts to collect so much multi-wavelength data?
A: It was a very exciting few weeks following the arrival of the first Chandra data. It seemed like every time I looked at the cluster at a different wavelength (e.g. UV, optical, infrared, radio, gamma rays) there was something even more interesting.
First it was the most X-ray luminous cluster known in the Universe. Then the spectra revealed that it was also the strongest cooling cluster known. Then the early optical spectroscopy showed that it was star-forming, and the follow-up showed that the star formation was extended and filamentary (reminiscent of what is seen in Perseus). Further, the optical spectra showed that the system was extremely dusty, suggesting that we had under-estimated the UV-derived star formation rate by a factor of 10! This prompted follow-up infrared observations with Herschel, which revealed the central galaxy belonged to a rare class of object known as ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs).
Finally, as if the system wasn't already interesting enough, we discovered that there was a gamma-ray source coincident with the central galaxy, indicating an extremely active supermassive black hole. These discoveries happened over the span of 1-2 weeks, during which time I was frequently showing up at colleagues' doors saying "There's more!"
Q: There are 85 co-authors on your paper. How did the collaboration decide that you would write up the results for publication?
A: It never seemed like it was a collaboration-wide decision, it just happened organically. My research has been focused on cooling flows and star formation in galaxy cluster cores, so I think it was fortuitous that I was the one looking at the X-ray data, as I recognized "the signs" right away. Once we realized how exciting this system was, I was in so deep that it just made sense for me to lead the project.
Q: Your team is observing more galaxy clusters. Are you hopeful about finding more objects like the Phoenix Cluster?
A: Of course! I wouldn't be surprised if this was the most extreme system, as it's hard to imagine something forming stars or cooling at a higher rate and remaining undiscovered for this long. However, I expect that we'll find similar systems -- central galaxies with starbursts fueled by the cooling intracluster medium -- as the survey nears completion later this year.

Sprains and strains are common conditions that cause damage to the soft tissues in the body such as the ligaments, muscles and tendons. In fact, approximately 2 million people in the U.S. have an ankle sprain each year. While these conditions have many similarities, they affect different parts of the body. A sprain refers to an overstretched, twisted or torn ligament (the tough fibrous tissue that connects the bones to other bones and cartilage). A strain, on the other hand, refers to an overstretched, twisted or torn tendon (the tough fibrous cord that connects muscles to bones) or a torn muscle. Strains are most common in the back, hamstring or shoulders, while sprains occur most frequently in the ankles, wrists, fingers and knees.
Causes and Symptoms of Sprains
Sprains tend to happen fast—often as a result of an injury to a joint. Common causes of injuries leading to sprains include walking or running on an uneven surface, sudden pivots or twists, using the hand or wrist to break a fall, contact sports injuries and playing racquet sports.
Sprains can be categorized as follows: In milder sprains, a ligament may be overstretched but not torn, with symptoms including swelling and soreness. In more troublesome sprains, a ligament can be partially torn, and symptoms may include prolonged pain and swelling. Weight may not be placed on this ligament, and there may be bleeding underneath the skin. In the most serious type of sprain, the entire ligament has been torn. There may have been a popping noise when the injury occurred, and there is likely to be severe pain, swelling and bruising. Weight may not be placed on this ligament—it is unable to function as it should and can restrict joint movement.
Causes and Symptoms of Strains
Strains may occur fast as a result of an injury (acute strains) or they may develop slowly over time (chronic strains). Common causes of acute strains include lifting heavy objects, jumping, throwing, running, and slip and fall accidents. Common causes of chronic strains include engaging in activities that require repetitive movements such as tennis, running, rowing and sitting or standing in an awkward position for an extended period of time.
Symptoms of strains include swelling, bruising, tenderness and pain. There may also be muscle spasms and cramps, muscle weakness and an impaired range of movement. Just as there are three grades of sprains, there are three grades of strains, ranging from an overstretched muscle or tendon to a complete tear.
Treatment for Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains can often be healed at home on their own; however, a chiropractor can help reduce a person's downtime and also help reduce pain while restoring flexibility and range of motion to the joint. Chiropractic treatment for sprains and strains may include manual manipulation to the affected region, soft tissue massage, stretching and special exercises, electronic muscle stimulation, laser therapy and/or hot or cold applications.
Why Seek Chiropractic Treatment for a Sprain or Strain?
A chiropractor will help to ensure that a strain or sprain heals properly and in a shorter amount of time. Studies have shown chiropractic care to be an effective treatment method for relieving the symptoms associated with sprains and strains. If you are experiencing symptoms of a sprain or strain, a chiropractor can help diagnose your condition. Upon your initial visit, your affected area will be examined. A chiropractor may order an imaging study or ultrasound to rule out a broken bone and determine the extent of any ligament, tendon or muscle damage. Upon diagnosis, your chiropractor will discuss your treatment options and help manage your recovery.
Sprains and strains can feel more serious than they are and can leave one unable to function normally for days to weeks at a time. If you suspect you have a strain or sprain, it's important to get a diagnosis and start treatment. The sooner you begin, the earlier you will be able to get back to your normal activities.

The fine folks at Information Today/Plexus Publishing just emailed and told me … my book is now an ebook! Sweet!
So – my book, Designing the Digital Experience:Â How to Use EXPERIENCE DESIGN Tools & Techniques to Build Websites Customers Love, is now in ebook format at these fine publishers:
- Amazon Kindle version
- Barnes & Noble Nook version
- Ebooks.com, which covers iphone, ipad, Kobo, Sony Rader, PC, and Mac
If you haven't yet purchased it (or if you have the burning desire to have my book in ebook format and didn't download a rogue copy), please go buy it!
And one more slightly vague, mysterious plug for my upcoming book – it's in editing mode at the moment. I have some touch-up work to do on it before sending it back. There are a few more steps after that, too – publishing a book is definitely a multi-step process.
The new book (tentatively called Face2Face) focuses on the nuts and bolts of  using emerging web tools to connect with customers. There are tons of books on emerging web trends, but honestly not too many that include practical "how to" tips for actually using those tools to connect with customers, patrons … and people. So I thought I'd write about that.
Look for it next year!

Obama is back giving Centrism a bad name. His budget proposal has drawn criticism because it incorporates a mechanism for reducing Social Security Cost-of-Living benefits called the "chained CPI", which ties those adjustments to the inflation rate. Obama's inclusion of the chained CPI has drawn harsh criticism from Progressives as well as the Liberal base of the Democratic Party. Although the President and his sycophants characterize this proposal as an example of "Centrist" politics, it is actually an example of the economic neoliberalism which the Disappointer-in-Chief has advanced since taking office in 2009.
Despite its liberal slant, the FiredogLake blog has been critical of Obama since the beginning of his first term. A recent article by Jon Walker at FDL presents an unvarnished look at Obama's motives for including the chained CPI in his budget:
Obama didn't put chained-CPI in for Republicans, regardless what he may claim. While Republicans like to talk a big game on entitlements they have shown no real interest in cutting benefits for current retirees, who are the most important part of their base.
The comments to Walker's piece give us a look at how a good number of liberals are finally seeing through the man who was advertised as an agent of Hope and Change. I was particularly impressed by the following comment from a reader identified as "coloradoblue":
War criminal
Mass murderer
Crimes against humanity
Crimes against the American people
Crimes against the constitution he swore to uphold
Failure to investigate, prosecute and punish the war criminals of the last administration
Failure to investigate, prosecute and punish the crimes of wall street
Destroyer of the legacy of FDR and LBJ and the dem party
FailureHell of legacy you've got there Barry. Hell of a legacy.
Oh, Snap!
Lest I repeat the entire batch of comments, I'll include just one more. Reading through them provides one with the opportunity to understand the extent of disappointment in Obama, as expressed by those who voted for him. This comment was from an individual using the name, "BearCountry":
o was never really the "capitulator in chief." He has worked to destroy the safety net since he became pres. When I voted for him in '08 I knew he was not going to be a savior for the nation, but I didn't realize how bad he would be. He is worse than w because he knows full well what he is doing. Those that defend him or blame the repugs are simply deluding themselves.
Progressive Democrats chose Obama over Hillary Clinton because they wanted to avoid electing a President who would advance the same neoliberalism we saw from Bill Clinton, the man who signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 into law. Bill Clinton's enactment of that legislation completely deregulated derivatives trading, eventually giving rise to such "financial weapons of mass destruction" as naked credit default swaps, which brought us the 2008 financial crisis.
When Hillary begins her run for the 2016 Democratic Nomination, it will be interesting to see whether any of her opponents exploit the photo of Bubba and Blankfein in Boca. On February 19 of 2012, The Business Insider published this photo of Bill Clinton having lunch with Goldman Sachs CEO, Lloyd Blankfein at the Boca Raton Resort and Country Club. Obama's function as a tool of the Wall Street megabanks will provide an ongoing reminder to anyone entertaining the thought of supporting Hillary, as to what they could expect from another Clinton administration.
Meanwhile Barry O. Tool is gonna' have some 'splianin' to do about his chained CPI proposal. His angry former supporters will want some answers.

Latin America seems like a treasure trove of street art and graffiti. I could spend hours on end looking through these works through groups on Flickr. But for people like me who can't see it in person, that seems to be the only way to tap into that vibrant and energetic scene. In the last 2 years, I've come to know and love a few Argentinian street artists (a few of whom will be featured in this show) but I'm aware that there are so many others who I have yet to come across!
The Talking Walls of Buenos Aires is a group show curated by Graffitimundo, which is based around just that – bringing works by a few of Argentina's leading street artists to a gallery in Washington DC. Opening July 13th at 6pm at The Fridge gallery, you can catch the work of Buenos Aires Stencil, Cabaio Stencil, Chu, Defi, Ever, Fede Minuchin, Gualicho, Jaz, Malatesta, Mart, Pastel, Pedro Perelman, Poeta, Prensa La Libertad, Pum Pum, Roma, Stencil Land, Sonni, Tec and Tester.

Wiki Formatting Help
This is a basic introduction to wiki syntax on this site. Please be aware that not all of these formatting options will be available everywhere you can enter wiki text. Generally, if you're entering text into a small text area (e.g. for a comment or guide step), you should only count on being able to use links and font styles. For larger text areas, where you're contributing large blocks of content, you can use lists, headings, and paragraphs, among other things.
Links are automatically created for things that look like URLs. The protocol (http://, https://, ftp://, etc.) is required. For example:
Yields http://www.ifixit.com. If you want to provide your own link text, then you'll need to get a bit fancier:
Which yields iFixit.
Wiki Links
Wiki links behave very similarly to normal links, but are enclosed in double square brackets. Note that you can supply your own link text by adding it as an optional second argument:
* [[Help:Wiki Syntax]] * [[Help:Wiki Syntax|A link to this article]]
Which yields:
The link is given by the article's name with an optional namespace on the front, separated by a colon. If no namespace is supplied, then the default namespace is used. The square brackets and vertical bar to separate arguments are a common pattern you'll see applied throughout our wiki markup language.
You can generate links to multiple wiki articles at once using the wikilist
tag and specifying one or more comma-separated tags to select articles by. A given article must match all of the listed tags in order to be displayed. Assuming you pick tags that actually match some articles, you'll get a tabular layout of article links, each link consisting of a thumbnail image and the article title. You can also narrow the search beyond the tags, to a particular namespace. You might use the tag like this:
== Articles about Category X == [wikilist|category-x] == Category X articles that are also about Category Y == [wikilist|category-x,category-y] == Info articles about Category X == [wikilist|category-x|namespace=Info]
You can add tags to an article from the article's edit page.
Guide Links
Guide links automatically add in the title of the guide that they link to. Or, if you like you can specify the link text like any other link. To identify a guide, you use its numeric identifier, which you can get from the URL on a guide page. For example, in the URL below the numeric identifier for the guide is 132
. The identifier will always be near the end of the URL, right after the guide title.
Here's an example of how you could use a guide link to link to the above guide:
* [guide|132] * [guide|132|So you broke your display...]
Which yields:
In many places, you can just use a plain link to the guide page, and it'll be converted into a guide link for you.
Product Links
Product links work very similarly to guide links; they can be used to link to iFixit's products in a more meaningful way than a bare URL. Like guide links, product links will use the product's current title as the link text by default, but they can also be customized. You refer to a specific product by its product code, which you can get from the product page. As with guide links, you can just use a bare link to a product page and it'll be converted into a product link for you.
For example:
* [product|IF145-002] * [product|IF145-002|If you buy one tool...]
Font Styles
The usual font styles are provided for:
* ''Italic'' * '''Bold''' * '''''Super bold''''' * ``monospace`` * x^^2^^ (superscript) * H,,2,,O (subscript) * ~~Strike-through~~ * ++Underlined++
This yields:
- Italic
- Bold
- Super bold
- x2 (superscript)
- H2O (subscript)
Strike-through- Underlined
These styles should really only be used on plain text, and shouldn't be wrapped around newlines. It's okay to put them around things like links, but only if it's necessary for the purpose at hand (not to achieve a particular look). These styles are not intended to be used within link tags on the custom link text.
You've already seen lists in action throughout these examples (the asterisk at the front of each example line), but only in their most rudimentary form. You can create nested lists by adding an asterisk for each level of indent, and you can get numbered lists by using a pound sign (#) instead of an asterisk. You can mix numbered and unordered lists, but you must be consistent within each list.
* Macs ** Mac Laptops ### iBook ### MacBook ### ... ** Mac Desktops ### iMac ### Mac mini ### ... * iPods ## Mini ## Nano ## ...
This yields:
- Macs
- Mac Laptops
- iBook
- MacBook
- ...
- Mac Desktops
- iMac
- Mac mini
- ...
- Mac Laptops
- iPods
- Mini
- Nano
- ...
Note that exactly one new line separates each line of the list. Putting a blank line between two lines of a list will result in two lists, which isn't usually what you want.
Headings and Paragraphs
You can create headings for sections and subsections by wrapping a line of text in two or more (up to six) equal signs (=). Each matching pair of equal signs makes the heading smaller, corresponding to a less significant subsection. You can't use one equal sign, because that level heading is reserved for the title of the entire page. For example:
== A top-level heading == === A sub-section heading === ==== A sub-sub-section heading ==== ===== And so on... =====
You can see the how level two headings are rendered throughout this page. The others are similar, just increasingly smaller.
Paragraphs happen more-or-less automatically, so you shouldn't have to think about them too much. Any time you separate two or more lines of text with one or more newlines (exactly one blank line is preferred), each block of text is made into a paragraph unless it's already a block-level element like a list or a heading. A good rule of thumb is to separate each logical thing in your document with a blank line. For example:
=== A simple example === A simple example of preferred usage of whitespace when writing. This is the first paragraph. This is the second paragraph. It'll be followed by a list: * A list with a few items: ** Item one. ** Item two. ** Item three. This is the third and final paragraph.
This yields:
A simple example
A simple example of preferred usage of whitespace when writing. This is the first paragraph.
This is the second paragraph. It'll be followed by a list:
- A list with a few items:
- Item one.
- Item two.
- Item three.
This is the third and final paragraph.
You can add images to Q&A posts and wiki articles (guides have images as well, but they're added via a different mechanism). The easiest way to add an image is to position the text cursor in the wiki text where you want the image tag to go, then to drag the image from your image library (there should be a tab at the bottom of the page that says "Images") onto the wiki editing text box or Q&A post. You can also drag an image from your library into the "Image Manager" box in the sidebar, and then hover over it to get the image identifier. Once you have the identifier, you can manually add the tag, which has the format below, to the wiki text. Dragging the image directly into the text box just copies the image identifier for you automatically and inserts a basic image
For wiki articles, use:
The size
and align
arguments are optional, and the defaults are standard
and right
respectively. The caption argument is also optional, and defaults to no caption. If you add caption text, it should (for now, at least) be plain text that doesn't make use of wiki markup.
For Q&A posts, use:
The size
argument is optional, and the defaults is standard
Currently, we support embedded videos from Vimeo, YouTube, and Screencast.
In addition to images, you can also add videos to wiki articles. The tag format for videos is similar to that for images, but rather than identifying videos by a numeric identifier specific to our site, we identify them by a link to the video on the service where the video is hosted (e.g. Vimeo). So to add a video to a wiki article, you just need to manually create a tag that looks like the following:
[video|<link to video>|size={small,large}|align={left,right,center}]
As with images, the size
and align
arguments are optional, but for videos they default to large
and center
respectively. You can add a caption to a video, but the formatting is different than that for images, and consequently you can add wiki markup to the caption text. Here's an example use of the video
tag, complete with caption text that includes a link:
[video|http://vimeo.com/6659283]A video about [http://ifixit.com|iFixit].[/video]
Note that without a caption, there's no closing [/video]
tag, but that to provide a caption, a closing tag is added and the caption text is nested between the opening and closing tag.
Screencast Embedding
You'll need to do a little extra work to embed videos from Screencast. You can't just copy and paste the URL for a Screencast video, because the URL to view a video on the Screencast site is very different from the URL to embed the same video. The URL you need is the last one in the big block of text you'll get if you copy and paste the Embed on your page HTML. It should look something like:
http://www.screencast.com/users/.../<long identifier>/embed
Copy that URL and paste it as the first argument to the video
[video|http://www.screencast.com/users/.../<long identifier>/embed]
In both guide introductions and wiki articles you can supply a summary that will be used to summarize the guide or article in search results, lists of popular items, and so on. Because the summary text shows up in different contexts and in very tight spaces, it can't contain any wiki formatting (including raw
and code
tags). Here's an example summary:
[summary]Model M6497 or A1005 / 500, 600, 700, 800, or 900 MHz G3 processor.[/summary]
This text will show up in a number of places, but will not show up where you put it in the wiki text. The actual summary tag usually renders to nothing. Instead, the text it contains is pulled out and used elsewhere.
Table of Contents
You can add a table of contents to wiki pages with the tag. The table of contents is automatically generated from the headings in the document.
Escaping Wiki Formatting
You can escape wiki formatting with a [raw]...[/raw]
block. The text between the raw
tags will be completely left alone and won't be interpreted as part of any wiki markup. It won't be displayed any differently, though, as the purpose is just to escape wiki formatting (conversely, the ``...`` font style just displays text as monospace and does not escape wiki formatting).
If you want to display a block of raw text differently for purposes of explanation, you can wrap the text in ``...`` if you want it to display as monospaced within a line, or you can wrap it in [code]...[/code]
if you want it to display in a block of its own (like the examples on this page). For instance:
* [raw]``This text is not monospace``[/raw]. * Links look like ``[raw][http://www.ifixit.com][/raw]``. [code] An example within the example! Nested code tags are okay, so long as they match. [/code]
This yields:
- ``This text is not monospace``.
- Links look like
An example within the example! Nested code tags are okay, so long as they match.
You can leave comments on your wiki with a block. Any text in between the
blocks will not be visible on the wiki page.
[comment]This is product #239[/comment]
Line Breaks
You can create a line break by using the [br]
This line has a [br] line break.
This line has a
line break.
You can visually highlight a quote or piece of text by using a [quote]..[/quote]
[quote]To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape. -Sun Tzu[/quote]
To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape. -Sun Tzu
[quote|format=featured]To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape. -Sun Tzu[/quote]
To a surrounded enemy, you must leave a way of escape. -Sun Tzu
Dynamic Lists
The Guidelist wiki syntax will allow you to create a list of all guides with the same tag name. You can use the Guidelist syntax on Category pages, wiki pages, and item pages.
- Tag
- Device
- Type
- Title (Optional)
- Include Prereqs (Optional)
[guidelist|tag=issue27|type=project] [guidelist|device=iPhone 3GS|type=teardown] [guidelist|tag=issue27|title=Issue 27] [guidelist|tag=issue27|include_prereqs=true]
You can also create lists of wiki pages.
- Default: comma-separated list of tags
- Namespace
- Title (Optional)
[wikilist|robotics] [wikilist|robotics,technique] [wikilist|robotics|namespace=Item] [wikilist|robotics|title=Robotics]

Welcome to ARLISS
NAR Section #801
The original student CanSat satelllite project!
The ARLISS Project is a collaborative effort between students and faculty at universities (and some high schools) around the world, and high power rocketry enthusiasts in Northern California, to build, launch, test and recover prototype satellites, miniaturized to fit inside a soft drink can (hence "CanSats") in preparation for an Earth orbit or Mars orbit space launch.
ARLISS and the CanSat project challenge innovative students to get hands-on experience in the life-cycle (one year or less) of a space project. Each CanSat team will design and build one or more satellites, and travel to the launch site in Black Rock, Nevada to supervise preparation, launch, telemetry download and safe recovery of their experiments and data.
The ARLISS rocketry group provides launch vehicles and services, each capable of lofting and safely deploying one or more CanSats at an altitude of 12,000' AGL, affording each CanSat a "hang time" in the air of about 15 minutes for experiments, simulating a horizon-to-horizon low orbit pass.
Marking our twentieth year, ARLISS has grown to embrace more satellite missions, more launch profiles, more launch sites and more students.
ARLISS missions not only include flight data collection and telemetry, but integrate autonomous robots to direct satellites back to designated locations at the launch site. And not only returning autonomously, but flying sophisticated science missions.
The ARLISS scope of launch profiles provide launch vehicles to carry a .3 Kg CanSat to 5k' AGL with sensors and telemetry, a 1 Kg Open Classic satellite to deploy into a airplane to autonomously return to its launch site from 12kk' AGL, or a PocketQube or CanSat to 120k' AGL with ARLISS Extreme.
The core ARLISS experience is at Black Rock Nevada with ARLISS Cansat missions being flown wherever there are students and ARLISS fliers.

The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied URL. If the URL refers to an already existing resource, the enclosed entity should be considered as a modified version of the one residing on the origin server. If the URL does not point to an existing resource, and that URL is capable of being defined as a new resource by the requesting user agent, the origin server can create the resource with that URL.
If the request passes through a cache and the URL identifies one or more currently cached entities, those entries should be treated as stale. Responses to this method are not cacheable.
The fundamental difference between POST and PUT requests is reflected in the different meaning of the request URL. The URL in a POST request identifies the resource that will handle the enclosed entity. That resource might be a data-accepting process, a gateway to some other protocol, or a separate entity that accepts annotations. In contrast, the URL in a PUT request identifies the entity enclosed with the request -- the user agent knows what URL is intended and the server must not attempt to apply the request to some other resource.
Unless otherwise specified for a particular entity-header, the entity-headers in the PUT request should be applied to the resource created or modified by the PUT.
The put method is very simple, it takes a URL to put to and requires that the body of the request method be set to the data to upload. The body can be set with an input stream or a string.
The PUT method is not widely supported on public servers due to security concerns and generally FTP is used to upload new and modified files to the webserver. Before executing a PUT method on a URL, it may be worth checking that PUT is supported using the OPTIONS method.
The put method is defined in section 9.6 of RFC2616.
