Sometimes the most intriguing invitations come across my inbox. This happened to be one of them. The header said "Date A Napkin User" and shared some of the study results. Since in my past profession, I proofed clinical protocols, I was fascinated. Thoughts like "Wait? Someone ran a study on napkin users?" "How'd they get that kind of data?" "Napkins and dating?"
Then I thought a little more about it. And actually it makes great sense.
Think of your really great dates.
Are they Thomas Crown Affair experiences?
Are they strolling through the park or dancing the night away?
Or are they spending hours getting to know each other and chatting over any and everything?
Did you learn something new? Experience something awesome?
How did you meet?
Were they courteous?
Did he open your door? Did you let him?
All of those things are the type of questions that the crew behind the study asked. Check out the data here — it's hilarious and fascinating.
But when the roll-out Match.com + Vanity Fair Napkin tour made a stop in Dallas, I made my way there. Held at the Hickory Street Annex, guests mixed and mingled. We sipped signature lime-infused margaritas, enjoyed a freshly made spread of Tex-Mex favorites and savory bites including my favorite chicken fajitas. I met new friends while we snapped photos in the yellow rose lined photo booths and danced to familiar tunes on the floor. The setting was conducive to meeting new people and chatting as least awkwardly as possible. And in a very fun cool move, guests left with a darling pair of red sweatpants that have made this frosty Texas Spring just a bit more bearable.
Here's a peek at the evening:

Meeting the strictest laws, this line of outdoor wood furnaces is EPA Phase 2 Certified
Original round designed outdoor boiler, with shaker grates & removable ash pan
Outdoor furnace series is built with a triple pass heat exchanger for higher efficiency, shaker grates & removable ash pan
Skinless indoor boiler series, with shaker grates & removable ash pan, can be installed inside a building not attached to a primary residence
Automated fed, commercial chip boiler designed to burn multiple fuels without extra components
Not all warranties are created equal, see our Industry Leading Warranty
Up to 60% Less Wood consumption. Using Negative Pressure, our line of Down Draft Gasification furnaces surpasses the strictest laws and are EPA Phase 2 certified.
It's time to rethink how your home is being heated. This series of outdoor wood furnaces is constructed from 409 Titanium Enhanced Stainless Steel and is one of the most economical and energy efficient models on the market, burning up to 60% less wood, while achieving a 99% combustion efficiency, making it virtually smokeless.
Enjoy the convenience of using readily available, renewable resources, while eliminating the indoor mess by keeping it outside.
A Heat Transfer & Cleaning System Unlike any Other
Our outdoor wood furnace Heat Exchanger Cleaners are stainless steel twisted tape turbulators that maximize thermal efficiency and heat transfer. Easily accessible from the front of the stove, simply push and pull the Heat Exchanger Cleaner handle to remove any build-up of fly ash from the Heat Exchanger tubes.
Constructed out of 409 Stainless Steel, these Heat Exchanger Cleaners are a snug fit, spiral design, that slow down the flow of hot air moving through heat exchanger. Slower flow means better contact with exchanger walls increasing heat transfer efficiencies.
Flush Mounted Door & Roller Latch Door System
The Roller Latch Door System was developed to make opening, and closing, of the outdoor wood furnace Firebox Door considerably easier while keeping safety in mind. Instead of a singular locking point, the Roller Latch Door System pulls the entire door into place, evenly sealing all four corners.
The integrated Silicone Rope Gasket prevents any liquid creosote from soaking into the rope while at the same time assisting in virtually eliminating any potential air leaks. This ensures there is only one path of air movement, helping keep the Flush Mounted Door & Latch cool to the touch.
Flush Mounted Secondary Combustion Chamber Door
Utilizing the same Roller Bearing Door & Latch system as the Firebox Door, the Secondary Combustion Chamber Door has a large opening making it easy for regular maintenance of the outdoor wood furnace. Safety is the primary goal of the Secondary Combustion Chamber Door design, which is why it is manufactured with three layers of insulation. For added insulation, and safety, a Heat Shield is inserted directly behind the door.
A Better Air Panel Design
Constructed from the same 409 Stainless Steel as the rest of the outdoor wood furnace, the Air Panels of the Pristine Series enhance the air distribution while mitigating wear and tear on the firebox and structure. The Air Panel Hook is designed to allow each section to expand and contract independently, preventing them from cracking the poured refractory Gasification Manifold or piercing the Water Jacket.
Additionally the Air Panels are designed to be replaceable as they age, drastically increasing the lifespan of the outdoor wood furnace.
The most advanced Gasification process in any Outdoor Wood Furnace
The Gasification Manifold is a uniquely designed, high temperature poured refractory unit, that injects preheated air directly at the combustion zone. This process drastically increases the burn efficiency, igniting all gases, causing the flame in the second combustion chamber to reach as high as 2,300°F.
For the Pristine Gasification Series outdoor wood furnaces to achieve a 99% combustion efficiency we had to take a new approach to air flow. Instead of "pushing" the air from the top, we decided to "pull" the air from the bottom, creating a Negative Pressure Gasification System.
When the outdoor wood furnace is completely sealed, the air is "pulled" downward, forcing all gasses from the Firebox through the ash bed into the Secondary Combustion Chamber. This makes the system virtually smokeless, with lower exhaust temperatures at the chimney, and allows wood placement to be more forgiving.
Gasification has been around for decades and is the most efficient way to heat your home. A combination of high temperatures, dry wood, and limited air, create exhaust gases inside the firebox. These exhaust gases are forced downward through the wood fire ash bed into the secondary combustion chamber which burns at temperatures up to 2,300°F with a 99% combustion, this process ignites gasses removing any smoke while the unit is operational. This heat is then transferred to the heat exchanger tubes which are strategically placed in the water reservoir to transfer heat to the water, assisting in achieving high efficiency and low emissions.
The unburned gases exit the stainless steel flue exhaust at temperatures as low as 300°F. You will notice that our Pristine Gasification Series of outdoor wood furnaces is virtually smokeless, this is due to our Negative Pressure Gasification process. The less smoke you see, the better the efficiency.

Once we arrived in Tanjore we picked up our guide and went to visit the former palace buildings which were looking a little sad. There were many very old bronze statues of considerable size considering their age.
From memory this was a large statue with a diameter of around three feet.
Watchtower structure at the palace.
Very ornate paintings on the palace walls.
Crows sitting on the palace roof.
Looks like the same deity as in the earlier bronze statue.
We then moved on and visited the 'Great Living Chola Temple in Tanjore'. There were a lot of pilgrims visiting the temple which was highly carved but not painted.
We then visited a metal work shop and purchased some small heavy bronze statues to take back to the UK.

Guest Blog from John Leech MP: We need a Minister for Older People
Yesterday I went to support the Anchor Grey Pride Campaign in Parliament, aimed at having a designated Minister for Older People. I've already signed an Early Day Motion calling for the same thing.
What I found staggering was that today more people are over 65 than under 60, and in forty to fifty years half a million people will be over 100: yet there isn't any – or any plans – to have a person specifically representing their needs in government.
The people I spoke to yesterday were very interesting and raised valid arguments for a Minister for Older People. They need a port of call to raise concerns with – non of this being passed from one department to the next. There should be someone there coordinating departments – this would end up saving the Government huge amounts of money. Finally, someone should be there to ask the Chancellor for money, and to fight their corner when needs be. If we can have a Minister for Equalities, a Minister for Women, and a Minister for Pubs, then we can surely have a Minister for Older People.
This is not an issue that I think anyone should let rest, and I personally will be bringing this up with the relevant Ministers.
John Leech is the Member of Parliament for Manchester Withington which includes Chorlton. You can read more from John at: http://johnleechmp.wordpress.com/ and follow him on twitter at @johnleechmcr

Exploring names and identity through multicultural literature in K-8 classrooms.Faculty Publications
Document TypeArticle
Publication Date2015
Date Issued2015-01-01
Date Available2015-03-13
AbstractChildren's names reflect their gender, culture, religion, language, and family history. Use of students' personal names has the power to positively affirm identity and signal belonging within the classroom and school community. However, naming practices also have the power to exclude, stereotype, or disadvantage students. For many students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, their names can be a source of cultural conflict and a watershed for issues of identity and belonging within the school setting. Through multicultural explorations of students' names, educators can affirm students' cultures and identities, and draw upon these as resources to support learning and development from early childhood through the adolescent years. The purpose of this article is to (a) discuss the importance of a person's name to cultural identity, (b) describe strategies to build multicultural communities in K-8 classrooms through exploration of students' names, and (c) suggest multicultural children's literature and curricular activities to teach about the importance of personal names, and develop cross-cultural understandings.

Winter's brief appearance and disappearance, rabbits arrive, raising beds (or not), aerating compost with a metal corkscrew, root veg for winter abundance, more on potting composts and peat alternatives, whether to sow now or wait a little longer, midwinter growth of salads undercover and outdoors, pruning chilli plants to keep them growing next year.
Winter arrives (and goes again)
Until January 13th this winter's warmth saw temperatures an unreal 5C above average here, since late November, bringing things on a bit fast; so I was grateful that we had -7C here on 20th. Plants will benefit: blackcurrants for example need cold to initiate fruiting, and slugs risk being rampant in spring if we have no more frosts below about -6C.
Cool conditions are better for storing root vegetables: currently they are sprouting in their boxes, except for celeriac which keeps so well. Also I am impressed with Charlotte potatoes, still firm and with few sprouts, simply in paper sacks in the shed, from a July harvest.
As winter progresses, wild animals and birds grow hungrier. Homemakers has rabbits, which mostly eat my grass and clover in summer, but recently they have been tucking into endive, parsley, some spinach and mustards. I have not yet covered my main spinach bed with fleece and am happy to let them clear up some other odds and ends.
Against pigeons. netting needs to be on a frame that holds it above plants, otherwise the birds sit on it gratefully and peck through. On the other hand mesh can be draped on top of plants.
Raising beds
How raised is a raised bed?
Mine are mostly without sides and are about 3in (7cm) higher than the paths on either side. Some are a little more raised, because when creating them I put 2-4in soil down as the first ingredient at the bottom, when making the bed. Soil holds its shape, compared to compost which shrinks to very small volume over time.
In the middle of Homeacres is a damp area where moisture sits longer and I am raising two beds there by scraping 2-3in compost off the top and into a large barrow, then barrowing 3in soil onto the exposed area, then replacing the compost. I was prompted to this by an unexpected gift of topsoil from a neighbour who was dismantling some raised beds.
So now in wet weather, these beds will be better drained. But in most of the garden I am happy with flatter beds.
Compost aeration
I just spent £20 on a compost aerator! Its simply a long metal pole, stainless steel, with a corkscrew at the bottom. A neat idea with nothing to break, and its effective, but expensive for what it is. I urge any engineer reading this to consider making and marketing a similar device.
The idea is you screw it down to the bottom of a heap, then pull (needs muscle!) to bring the less aerated compost at bottom to the surface. It takes 5 minutes of so to work through a 4x4ft heap, and is less thorough than turning, but simpler and less messy.
The bed of salad below was filled with compost last May and has cropped continuously since then, we filmed making it for the online course.
Root veg
Ulloco is another new veg to try, see incredible vegetables for information and to buy some if interested, they sell oca too. I am having a go at ulloco but am not growing mashua again, despite its tasty leaves, because the tubers are really not delicious. My favourite so far of the unusual veg is yacon and its storing well.
In terms of yield, its hard to beat old favourites such as beetroot – a January harvest here gave 36kg from 7 square metres, and that was a second crop after garlic. I never weeded it except to tweak the odd one in passing, so easy. Why dig?
Peat in compost for plant raising
A subscriber asked why some of the composts I recommend contain peat, and the reason is because I want readers to succeed with their plant raising and not have their crops spoiled by poor growth. There are still many nutrient-deficient or imbalanced composts on sale, based on green waste of different kinds. For example I lost plants last year to an Arthur Bowers peat-free multipurpose. Its high content of carbon (from wood waste) caused high levels of chloride which then sucked out the nitrogen before plant roots could access it. See Which? Gardening Jan/Feb 2016.
In 2013 I had a phone call from a despairing nurseryman who had been advised to use green waste compost for his five acres of primula plants in pots because they were all going yellow, and liquid feeds were not helping. He had been wrongly advised about the compost he was using. Three years on, the current Melcourt non-peat mix is a best buy (used by Nat Trust), though not widely available.
The West Riding compost I use is now half green waste, and half peat which has been sieved out of reservoirs by Yorkshire Water. The peat is a waste product and West Riding compost add mysterious goodies to create a product which has grown great plants for many years. It is Soil Association standard too.
Not everyone can buy it because the retail sack price is high, although a pallet of 60 sacks costs around £6/sack for 40 litres.
Sowings, and be ready with tomato seed in a month
Continue to wait before sowing the first seeds, until mid February. My first sowings will be lettuce, spinach, onion and spring onion, cabbage, cauliflower and calabrese – all undercover and for planting late March to early April. In northern Britain you could sow all these a little later in early March.
Choosing which tomato varieties can be confusing when there are so many. Nicky Kyle in Ireland has compiled a useful report and I plan to try a couple I don't know. Sadly Rosada is not currently available and I am hoping my side-shoots survive, although they were frosted in November in the greenhouse.
Salads undercover
Growth has been good and we just picked over all plants in the greenhouse and polytunnel, giving a harvest of 12kg. This included a few of Steph's outdoor chicory hearts and its the most I ever packed at this time of year. Growth is slower now in the less mild weather but soon there will be longer days to encourage plants again.
Chillies go perennial
If your chilli plants are still alive, you can make a final harvest (leaving fruits somewhere dry for later use) and then prune plants as in my photos. Simply keep them frost free and with slightly moist compost. In May I bring them from the indoor windowsill to my polytunnel, and the three year old Jalapeño is now pretty large.
No dig logo
In my newsletter I have been sending some logo ideas and here are two from Sarah Davenport in Brighton. Many folk have pointed out that "Less weeds" is not good grammar! however it has a nice ring.
Common advice is to keep a logo simple: one colour and with few words, so this breaks a few rules. I am happy to hear any feedback.

The Kat&Bee founder on why the Hot 100 gave the brand authority.
As we look forward to the reveal of the Professional Jeweller Hot 100 2013 on September 3 we hear from 2012's NexGems about being part of the Hot 100, what it means for business and what's next for the jewellery brands. Kat&Bee founder Kathryn Barry has won fans all over the world with her wire-wrapped jewellery designs. She talks trade shows, distribution and future collaborations.
Professional Jeweller: You were named a Professional Jeweller Hot 100 NexGem in 2012 – what did this mean for your business?
Kathryn Barry: I think the main thing was recognition and having that stamp of approval on what you are doing as a business. It was a huge accolade and is always so lovely to be recognised of all your hard work. I think for all sides – consumer, wholesale and us – it has given that extra level of authority within the industry.
PJ: Tell us about the year since the Hot 100, how has business evolved?
KB: The focus for the year has been building the brand and starting to reach out to stockists and press. We are regularly seen in press and have some great pieces coveted in the likes of The Telegraph, Stylist and Metro to name a few. The year 2012 to 2013 has seen us securing more stockists globally including concept stores in South Korea, Italy and Dubai. And, we have taken the plunge to do trade shows which was probably pushed along by being part of the Hot100
PJ: What can we expect next from the brand?
KB: We are in the process of appointing a distributor who will work very closely with Kat&Bee to secure global stockists. We are looking to expand but in a very organic and considered way. We are still keen to maintain a personable service both with the designs and brand as a whole. Kat&Bee are also in talks with a few different brands about collaborations which if they come off could be very exciting and interesting developments.

The Cleveland Bay Horse Society
The Cleveland Bay Horse Society of North America
The Livestock Conservancy
Epiphany Bay Farm was established in 2005 with the purpose of breeding the endangered Cleveland
Bay Horse. Currently, the farm is home to eight purebred Cleveland Bays, two Cleveland x
Thoroughbred sport horses and one Thoroughbred. Three of the purebred Cleveland Bays are Quality
Approved mares.
We have developed and are constantly in the process of developing our line of purebred mares. As we
do not stand a stallion, each breeding season we make breeding decisions based on each mare's
qualities and the qualities of the purebred Cleveland Bay stallions which are available for breeding. We
support the SPARKS program which is provided by the Cleveland Bay Horse Society to reduce the rate
of inbreeding. Currently, purebred Cleveland Bay Horses remain a critically endangered heritage breed
with the worldwide number of active adult breeding mares between 100 and 300 according to the The
Livestock Conservancy. The total number of purebred Cleveland Bay Horses is currently, just below 900
in the world with slightly less than 200 purebreds in the United States. Despite their low numbers,
Cleveland Bay Horses are quite versatile with successes in eventing, fox hunting, driving, dressage and
jumping. Cleveland Bay Horses are known for their steady temperament and solid bone conformation.
They are often crossed with other breeds, primarily Thoroughbreds, to produce the Cleveland Bay Sport
All of our Cleveland Bays, both purebred and partbred are registered with the Cleveland Bay Horse
Society which holds the purebred Stud Book for the breed. It is imperative that all purebreds be
registered with the Stud Book, not only to provide a record of the purebred, yet more importantly to
maintain genetic diversity through accountability of the entire purebred population.
Currently, we have two purebred colts, who are two year olds, and one rising five year old purebred
gelding who are available to the right home. In May of 2017 Epiphanybay Abigail presented us with a
healthy filly, who is a 3/4 Cleveland Bay 1/4 Thoroughbred. This filly is named Epiphanybay Miss Nora
Jo. We will be keeping her as a prospect for the Cleveland Bay Horse Society Grading Register. .
We are in the process of planning our breedings for 2019 foals. Please inquire for further information.

Diverticulitis: Why the Pain?
Pain From Diverticulosis To Diverticulitis. In Los Angeles, diverticulitis has become an increasingly common malady seen by proctologists, also known as colon and rectal surgeons, and emergency rooms such as Cedars-Sinai. When diverticulosis turns nasty, abdominal pain usually follows (rectal bleeding is rare in cases of diverticulitis). At Los Angeles Colon and Rectal Surgical Associates,

Welcome to this month's visual diary from the bergerie of Mas Reste…
From The Forest
Tuesday April 9th. The field that marks the beginning of the
'wilderness' and forest is now filled with bees as blossoms open…
Sunday 21st April. A chevreuil (European roe deer, Capreolus capreolus)
was at the river as I walked along its bank, freezing in my sights in
a magical instant, before bounding into the forest with the strangest
braying sound – such a rare sighting, the first since we have lived here…
now etched in my memory…
Saturday 27th April. The peaks are covered with snow and the
afternoon temperature is 3º with the car sounding a warning for ice…
Monday 29th April. The roads are flooded and temperatures still 20º
below the 'average' for the season… providing the main topic of
conversation, as France is once again experiencing 'exceptions' that
challenge meteorological predictions. Canigou is no longer dominating
our view with his snow capped peaks, for all the mountains in the
Pyrenean chain (that stretches across the horizon) have a fresh layer
of snow.
In The Garden
Tuesday 9th April. Sitting in a painted wooden garden chair, surveying
the progress while trying to write with a cat on my arm, as Mina also
enjoys the sun. After days spent weeding and planting there is a sudden
burst of new growth, helped by frequent 'April showers'. Deep purple,
lilac and crimson pansies form a new border, with wild violets tucked
amongst them. primroses circle the base of the almond tree and decorate
the pond and new raised garden…
…Wild garlic has been moved to its new home, to mature in rows
before the grass is mown. Each day now there are more sursprises
as shoots push through the earth and reach towards the sun. Many of
the herbs that died with the frost are coming back and the tarragon
is already over 60cm high. Lettuces have been planted, and the potato
patch is ready, with a new weeping willow barrier woven from sprouting
cuttings that will continue to grow to form a windbreak. The sweetpeas
have been relocated from their spontaneous locations and have a new
hazlenut wood support to climb on. The hollyhock beds are flourishing
and will hopefully bring flowers this year, as they have steadily grown
from seeds planted last year, surviving winter…
…The grape vines have tiny leaf buds forming and the raspberries
have already wandered outside of their stone surrounds. The many
flower seedlings that have also 'jumped out of their beds' have been
put into pots, ready for the annual plant exchange in May. The compost
is sifted for the next round of work in the potting shed, as the vegetables
are prepared. Rose cuttings are now taking root and the olive tree is
thriving after its recent pruning. Birdsong fills the valley as the river
provides the base note for their joyful spring symphony… it is a
pleasure to be lost in reverie and to take time to notice all the
'little things', like the lavender that is opening its waving heads
and the tiny yellow cistus that smother the bank in this season. I can
just see the cherry tree reaching over the wall, now starting to bloom,
weeks after the wild 'merisiers' in the forest…
Wednesday 10th April. 'Semis': A day of sowing dozens of seeds, saved
from last year's harvest – now tucked into in trays the shed. I have
planted rows of mesculin mix, radishes and mache in the newly created
plot that is now taking shape. The sun has shone long enough to finish
the day with a 'sundowner' on the bank, sitting on a cut log, overlooking
the walled terrace. The bank is the wilderness area, left uncut so
wildflowers are free to roam above the rockery wall, which retains the
rise. The aquaduct and old stone wall rise to above three metres in places,
enclosing the potager on the right, as the view to the left dips down to
the wide grassy terrace and then plunges to the swiftly running river
before soaring up to the forested ridges that mark the the Spanish border.
Tiny birds are active and the air is filled with darting insects catching
the sun's last rays as it dips behind the trees surrounding the mas,
its stone ramparts dominating the horizon, as the welcome pause ends
the 'working' day…
Afternoon, Tuesday 23rd April. The wind has calmed after days of strong
gusts and turned, bringing warmth again. We ate a juicy melon with goat's
cheese and salad on the terrace by the tulips that are just finishing.
The cherry tree has exchanged its white blossoms for leaves, and
everywhere I look the vivid yellow-green of new growth is establishing
its hold. Mina is curled under the olive tree, nesting in the mulch
under shady leaves. Tonight's lapin (rabbit) has been bubbling away
and now sits infusing, as the flavours gain depth. Planting has ceased
for the moment as the coming full moon changes the rhythm, and weeding
is still a priority. Spring onions, parsnips and carrots (the soil
carefully sifted for stones) are now in the new plot. The radishes are
the first seeds to sprout and new flowers are now filling the shady
corners. Sage, basil, thyme and chives are about to flower.
Magnificent violet flowers that we planted as young seedlings (after
admiring them in the sun garden of Villandry last year) are in full bloom
– Centaurée in French, with buds that form a scale pattern like serpent
skin. The fig has its first 'little hands' opening and pumpkin plants
are spontaneously germinating (from seeds in the compost?) all over
the potager garden. In the potting shed the seeds planted in the last
weeks are starting to race each other, gaining height each day and
claiming their 'terre'.
The very long grass has been cut, giving the potager definition as
the dense clumps of roots are removed where they have invaded the beds.
The quince is smothered in blushing pink blooms and raspberry tendrils
are wandering and taking hold…
Fascinated by the form of the leaves unfurling, I have been following
their rapid progess…
Slugs and moles usually keep us on our toes, but at the moment it
is Mina who is the largest 'pest' – trampling in newly planted beds,
rolling in seedlings and chasing lizards, she is over-enthusiastic
in her playground and in her eagerness to be close to all activities…
Exploring The Region
A change of weekend market, enjoying the Mediterranean coast and
fish markets at Port Vendres (La Côte Vermeille).
At Home
As yet, ginger beer is not to be found locally (while very popular
in Australia and New Zealand), so recalling childhood days I am
making batches. Rather than keeping a 'bug' (a yeast, powdered
ginger and sugar starter that is fed each day), I have found a
simple recipe that ferments in the bottle, cellared for three days,
using lemons as a base… a refreshing drink for gardening days…
The preserved tomato sauce has lasted just until the first tomatoes
are available in abundance at the market.

David Scott
David Randolph Scott (born June 6, 1932) (Col, USAF, Ret.) is an American engineer, former NASA astronaut, retired U.S. Air Force officer and former test pilot. He belonged to the third group of NASA astronauts, selected in October 1963. As an astronaut, Scott became the seventh person to walk on the Moon. Following the death of John Young in January 2018, Scott became the last living commander of a successful Apollo lunar landing mission and, as such, the only person currently alive who has flown a spacecraft to a landing on the Moon.

Before becoming an astronaut, Scott graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and joined the United States Air Force. He graduated from the Air Force Experimental Test Pilot School (Class of 1963) and Aerospace Research Pilot School (Class of 1964). Scott retired from the Air Force in 1975 with the rank of colonel, and more than 5,600 hours of logged flying time.
As an astronaut, Scott made his first flight into space as pilot of the Gemini 8 mission, along with Neil Armstrong, in March 1966, spending just under eleven hours in low Earth orbit. Scott then spent ten days in orbit as Command Module Pilot aboard Apollo 9, his second spaceflight, along with Commander James McDivitt and Lunar Module Pilot Rusty Schweickart. During this mission, Scott became the last American to fly solo in Earth orbit (not counting subsequent untethered EVAs). Scott made his third and final flight into space as commander of the Apollo 15 mission, the fourth human lunar landing, becoming the seventh person to walk on the Moon and the first person to drive on the Moon.
Early life and educationEdit
Scott was born June 6, 1932, on Randolph Field (for which he received his middle name) near San Antonio, Texas and was active in the Boy Scouts of America where he achieved its second highest rank, Life Scout.[1] Scott was educated at Texas Military Institute, Riverside Polytechnic High School in Riverside, California, where he joined the swim team and set several state and local swim records.[2] Scott attended Western High School in Washington, D.C. graduating in June 1949.[3]
He attended the University of Michigan for one year where he was an honor student in the Engineering school, a member of the swimming team and pledged Sigma Chi fraternity before receiving an invitation to attend West Point, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, finishing 5th in his class out of 633, in 1954. Because of his high standing in the class, he was able to choose which branch of the military he would serve. Scott chose the Air Force because he wanted to fly jets. He completed Undergraduate Pilot Training at Webb Air Force Base, Texas, in 1955 and then reported for gunnery training at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, and Luke Air Force Base, Arizona.[3]
He was assigned to the 32d Tactical Fighter Squadron at Soesterberg Air Base (RNAF), Netherlands, from April 1956 to July 1960, flying F-86 Sabres and F-100 Super Sabres. Upon completing this tour of duty, he returned to the United States for study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4] He received both a Master of Science degree in Aeronautics/Astronautics and the degree of Engineer in Aeronautics/Astronautics (the E.A.A. degree) from MIT in 1962.[5] He also received an Honorary Doctorate of Astronautical Science from the University of Michigan in 1971. In 1959 he married his first wife, Ann. He also has two children with her: Tracy (born 1961) and Douglas (born 1963).[6] He is of Scottish descent, and his recreational interests include swimming, handball, skiing, and photography.[3]
NASA careerEdit
Scott was selected as a part of the Group Three astronauts. Scott also flew the most missions of the Group Three astronauts.[7]
Gemini 8Edit
On March 16, 1966, Scott and Command Pilot Neil Armstrong were launched into space on the Gemini 8 mission, a flight originally scheduled to last three days, in which Scott was to perform an EVA, but terminated early due to a malfunctioning thruster. The crew performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space and demonstrated great piloting skill in overcoming the thruster problem and bringing the spacecraft to a safe landing. Scott would later perform EVAs on his two subsequent flights.[3]
Apollo 9Edit
Scott served as Command Module Pilot for Apollo 9 (March 3–13, 1969). This was the third manned flight in the Apollo series, the second to be launched by a Saturn V, and the first to complete a comprehensive earth-orbital qualification and verification test of a "fully configured Apollo spacecraft." The ten-day flight provided vital information previously not available on the operational performance, stability, and reliability of lunar module propulsion and life support systems. Highlight of this evaluation was completion of a critical lunar-orbit rendezvous simulation and subsequent docking, initiated by James McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart from within the Lunar Module at a separation distance which exceeded 100 miles (160 km) from the command/service module piloted by Scott.[3]
The crew also demonstrated and confirmed the operational feasibility of crew transfer and extravehicular activity techniques and equipment, with Schweickart completing a 46-minute EVA outside the Lunar Module. During this period, Dave Scott completed a 1-hour stand-up EVA in the open Command Module hatch photographing Schweickart's activities and also retrieving thermal samples from the Command Module exterior. Apollo 9 splashed down less than four nautical miles (7 km) from the helicopter carrier USS Guadalcanal (LPH-7).[3]
In his next assignment, Scott was designated backup spacecraft commander for Apollo 12.[3]
Apollo 15Edit
David Scott[8]
Scott made his third space flight as spacecraft commander of Apollo 15 (July 26–August 7, 1971). His companions on the flight were Alfred M. Worden (Command Module Pilot) and James B. Irwin (Lunar Module Pilot). Apollo 15 was the fourth successful manned lunar landing mission and the first to land near mountains instead of the relatively flat mare region where the previous three missions had landed. The landing site was between Hadley Rille and Apennine Mountains which are located on the southeast edge of the Mare Imbrium (Sea of Rains).[3]
After landing, Scott and Irwin donned their pressure suits and Scott performed the first and only stand up EVA on the lunar surface, by poking his head out the docking port on top of the Lunar Module. He took panoramic photographs of the surrounding terrain from an elevated position and scouted the terrain they would be driving across the next day. The Lunar Module, Falcon, remained on the lunar surface for 66 hours and 54 minutes (setting a new record for lunar surface stay time) and Scott and Irwin logged 18 hours and 35 minutes each in extravehicular activities conducted during three separate excursions onto the lunar surface. Using "Rover-1" to transport themselves and their equipment along portions of Hadley Rille and the Apennine Mountains, Scott and Irwin performed a selenological inspection and survey of the area and collected 180 pounds (82 kg) of lunar surface materials.[3]
They deployed an ALSEP package which involved the emplacement and activation of surface experiments, and their lunar surface activities were televised using a TV camera which was operated remotely by ground controllers stationed in the Mission Control Center located at Houston, Texas. Other Apollo 15 achievements include: largest payloads ever placed into earth and lunar orbits; first scientific instrument module (SIM) bay flown and operated on an Apollo spacecraft; longest distance traversed on lunar surface; first use of a lunar surface navigation device (mounted on Rover-1); first subsatellite launched in lunar orbit; and first extravehicular (EVA) from a Command Module during transearth coast. The latter feat was performed by Worden during three excursions to Endeavour's SIM-bay where he retrieved film cassettes from the panoramic and mapping cameras and reported his personal observations of the general condition of equipment housed there. Apollo 15 concluded with a Pacific Ocean splashdown and subsequent recovery by USS Okinawa.[3]
Scott performed a total of five EVAs (one on Apollo 9, and four during Apollo 15), totaling 20 hours and 35 minutes.[9][10]
Post-NASA careerEdit
On April 18, 1975, at age 42, Scott became the Center Director of NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, a position he held until October 30, 1977.[11] He was later President of Scott Science and Technology, Inc.[11]
He commentated for British TV on the first Space Shuttle flight (STS-1) in April 1981.[12] He also consulted on the movies Apollo 13 for Ron Howard and was on the set for much of the filming of the 1998 HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, where he advised both Tom Hanks and the various directors, as well as answered questions from the actors on set.[12] In 2000 he was briefly engaged to British television newscaster Anna Ford.[13] In 2003–2004 he consulted on the BBC TV series Space Odyssey: Voyage To The Planets.[14]:8 In 2004, he and former Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov began work on a dual biography / history of the "Space Race" between the United States and the Soviet Union. The book, Two Sides of the Moon: Our Story of the Cold War Space Race was published in 2006. Neil Armstrong and Tom Hanks both wrote introductions to the book.[12]
He currently resides in Los Angeles, California with his wife, Margaret.[12] Scott is one of the astronauts featured in the book and documentary In the Shadow of the Moon[15] In the 1998 television series From the Earth to the Moon Scott was portrayed by Brett Cullen.[16]
Awards, honors, and organizationsEdit
Scott has been awarded two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, a NASA Exceptional Service Medal, two Air Force Distinguished Service Medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Force Association's David C. Schilling Trophy, the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale Gold Medal, the United Nations Peace Medal, and the Robert J. Collier Trophy.[3][12]
Scott is a fellow of the American Astronautical Society, associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots, and Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi and Sigma Gamma Tau.[3]
In 1982, Scott was inducted to the International Space Hall of Fame in New Mexico Museum of Space History.[17] In 1993, Scott was inducted to the Astronaut Hall of Fame.[18] In 2012, Scott was inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at the San Diego Air & Space Museum.[19]
Apollo 15 controversiesEdit
Two non-essential items brought along on Apollo 15 were the subject of later controversy.
Stamp incidentEdit
Before the mission, the crew had made an agreement with a stamp dealer, similar to those made by other Apollo crews, to carry some signed first day covers along to the moon that could be sold later to collectors. Their goal was to provide for their families, and they established that the proceeds would go into a trust fund for their children's education, on the belief that the covers would not be sold for some time.[20]
The crew took 398 covers to the moon with them. Later it was alleged that these had been smuggled on board. In his 2013 book Two Sides of the Moon, Scott says that was impossible as the astronauts had to account for everything they took on board, including personal items. Instead of personally certifying the Apollo 15 crews as he usually did, Deke Slayton deferred to the flight-support crew, according to Scott. The support team's manifest did not include the covers.[20]
Once the mission was over a German stamp dealer began selling the first day covers immediately. The astronauts objected and said they did not want the money. When the sales were reported in the press some members of U.S. Congress became angry that they heard about them first that way, instead of from NASA itself, especially in the wake of an incident involving silver medallions taken along on Apollo 14. Slayton claimed in his autobiography that he felt Scott, Worden and Irwin had embarrassed NASA and the Apollo program by trying to profit in such way from the hard work that had gone into the Apollo 15 mission, and violated NASA rules.[21]
Scott wrote later that a "witch hunt" mentality took hold. The astronauts were advised to retain independent legal counsel before testifying at a closed Senate hearing on the matter. None of them would go into space again, and Scott wrote later that "NASA had hung us out to dry," to assuage Congressional anger over the apparent commercialization of earlier Apollo flights. In 1978 the Justice Department concluded that while the crew had broken some space-agency rules, they did nothing illegal. The covers were legal, they had not been intended for sale, the crew had not smuggled them on board and NASA would have approved letting them do so had they been asked. "We were reprimanded and took our licks. But it was a very raw deal," recalls Scott.[20]
Fallen AstronautEdit
The crew also brought along a 3 1/2-inch (8.9 cm) statue, Fallen Astronaut, which Scott placed on the rim of Hadley Rille along with a plaque listing the names of 14 astronauts and cosmonauts who had died during training. While Scott had been under the impression that it was intended as a memorial, Belgian sculptor Paul Van Hoeydonck had created it as a tribute to humanity's aspirations to expand into space. Scott believed that the agreement with van Hoeydonck allowed the sculptor to make a single copy for sale, and no more.[22]
Although it was the first (and so far only) sculpture exhibited on the moon, NASA did not discuss it much and did not identify van Hoeydonck as the artist for some time afterwards, which the artist believed was a deliberate slight engineered by Scott, since Van Hoeydonck had been unhappy that his work had been used as a memorial. He was invited to the launch of Apollo 16 and interviewed by Walter Cronkite.[22] Afterwards, he announced plans to sell copies of Fallen Astronaut through a New York art gallery. Scott wrote him letters expressing the crew's disappointment that he had chosen not to honor their agreement. Van Hoeydonck and his dealer went ahead with the plan, but only one copy sold. Relations between Scott and Van Hoeydonck remain strained.[22]

The Hitchhiker is available upon re quest on com put er

also be seen on the State Library WEB site: http:

Mexico State Library, a division of the Offi ce of Cul tur al
Affairs, 1209 Camino Carlos Rey, Santa Fe, NM 87505.

In a new study of literacy in cities across Amer-ica,
Albuquerque ranks 41, with Minneapolis, Minne-sota,
ranking fi rst and El Paso, Texas, at the bottom, in
79th place. The ranking was based on numerous data
sources, including U. S. Census data, newspaper circula-tion
rates, magazine publishing, educational attainment
levels, library resources, and booksellers – 22 variables
in all.
" America's Most Literate Cities 2004" ( see http:
// www. uww. edu/ npa/ cities) is the second year of the
study, authored by Jack Miller, chancellor of the Univer-sity
of Wisconsin- Whitewater. Last year the study also
ranked Minneapolis fi rst and El Paso last. This year's
ranking added 15 new cities by lowering the popula-tion
threshold to 200,000, and adds nine new statistical
variables, including Census data that was unavailable
last year to provide a richer look at a city's resources.
Among Miller's observations:
The nation's largest cities appear well into the
bottom half, with New York at 49, Chicago at
58 and Los Angeles at 68. Those cities, also
home to large immigrant populations, exhibit
what Miller calls " bimodal" activity, in which
" a subset of people are very engaged in ( literate)
behaviors and a big group is not."
Suburbs fared better than neighboring cities, at
least in terms of education levels. Dallas placed
54th in education and 60th overall, while Plano,
its suburban neighbor, ranked fi rst in education
and 59th overall. Phoenix, meanwhile, was 49th
in education and 60th overall, while suburban
Scottsdale was second in education and 19th
overall. Both ' burbs placed in the bottom 10 in
the newspaper category.
Old industrial cities support their libraries.
Pittsburgh ranked fourth in the library category
and third overall, while several Ohio cities also
fared well: Akron ranked fi rst ( 26th overall); To-ledo,
sixth ( 40th overall); Columbus, fi fth ( 11th
overall); and Cleveland eighth ( 14th overall).
On the other hand, Detroit ranked 48th in library
resources, 69th overall.
How top cities behave in literate ways:
Reading newspapers: Six variables, including
Sunday and weekday circulation for local papers
compared with the number of people in the city.
Publishing magazines: Four variables, including
magazines and professional journals published.
Using the library: Six variables, including data
on public and school ( but not university) librar-ies,
Internet connections per 10,000 people,
volumes and circulation per capita.
Buying books: Three variables, including book-sellers
per 10,000 people and memberships in
American Booksellers Association.
Going to school: Three variables, including
percentages of adults with an 8th- grade education or
less, with at least a high school diploma and with a
bachelor's degree or higher.
Rules of engagement. The New Mexico Battle of
the Books has two committees whose task is to select
books for participants to read each year. The Elemen-tary
Committee chooses titles for 4th- 6th grade stu-dents.
The Middle School Committee chooses books
for 6th- 9th grade students. B of B invites any interested
librarians or teachers to join these committees. The
committees will be selecting books for the 2006 Battle
of the Books. Guidelines are as follows:
1. The goal of the Book Selection committee is to
choose a list of 20 quality titles for each divi-sion,
offering a diversity of reading levels and/ or
interest levels.
2. Nomination of each book is to be based on
strength of story line and writing style, and clar-ity
of presentation.
3. Titles chosen for the Elementary Division should
have appeal to students from 4th through 6th
grades. Middle School titles should have appeal
to students from 6th through 9th grades.
4. Theme and scope should be appropriate for the
division grade levels regardless of the reading
level of the book.
5. Titles for the elementary division should not be
above the 6th grade reading level.
6. Copyright dates are not restricted. " Classic"
titles which have remained in print are encour-aged.
A title may repeat on the list, but only
after fi ve years have passed.
7. Authors are not restricted to United States citi-zenship
or residence. English translations are
also acceptable.
8. Authors may be on successive lists. It is recom-mended
that only one title of an author will be
included in each year's list. An author may be on
both the elementary and middle school lists in
the same year.
9. Two or more committee members should have
read and recommended a book for it to be in-cluded
on the list.
10. The list should include both male and female
11. Some of the genres to be considered are the fol-lowing:
fantasy, science fi ction, realistic fi ction,
historical fi ction, regional ( especially Southwest
or New Mexico), mysteries, humor, animal fi c-tion,
adventure, current social issues, and multi-cultural
themes. Selections should be sensitive
to social, racial, ethnic, and religious issues. ( In-formational
books including biographies should
also be considered.)
12. Titles are encouraged to be selected from Best
Book lists, State Lists, Children's Choice lists,
as well as notables, award winning, and honor
books. Titles from the current or past Land of
Enchantment Book Award lists are also encour-aged.
13. Books must be in print at the time of selection
and, if possible, available in paperback except
for titles from the new Newbery and Caldecott
14. Past Newbery and Newbery Honor books should
be considered with choices made from years
ending in the same numeral as the current Battle
of the Books year. ( 2004, 1994, 1984, etc.)
15. Titles should have been favorably reviewed in
one or more professional review journals.

" I Love You, Madame Librarian." Kurt Vonnegut offered his appreciation for librarians in an article he wrote in
the magazine, In These Times. Here is an excerpt: " I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physi-cal
strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly
resisted anti- democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to
reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.... So the America I loved still
exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media.
The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries."

Chief secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander will today announce the Government is on track to raise £4bn this year in its crackdown on tax dodgers.
Speaking at the Liberal Democrat conference in Brighton, the BBC reports Alexander (pictured) will reassure delegates that the UK is making good progress towards its pledge to raise £9bn by 2015 in its fight against tax avoidance.
Alexander will promise to raise more from the "small minority of wealthy people who do not play by the rules".
He will say: "Fair taxes in tough times means everyone playing by the same rule book, and everyone paying their fair share.
"We have this message to the small minority of wealthy people who don't play by the rules.
"We are coming to get you and you will pay your fair share."

Have the rains left you feeling down and under? Don't fret! We've rounded out four places where the sun is always shining.
Colourful chaos is what the spiritual capital of India offers. Known as Kashi ( The city of life ), Varnasi is one the oldest inhabited cities in the world. You have to visit this popular Hindu Pilgrimage site to truly experience the reverbrating magical energy that runs through its unique ghats. Be sure to include the Night Pooja Ceremony which a sight worth seeing when you visit.
October is one of the best times to visit this mountain retreat. Spectacular views of the Kanchenjunga which is only the third highest peak in the world. Yes, thats right! The whole entire world. If that's not enough, snow-capped mountains as your backdrop and glacial lakes make this place seem straight out a disney fairytale. Another cool activity that you cannot miss out are the yak safaris. You read that right! There's a story you can show off to your friends and family. Schedule a visit to the Buddhist monasteries to enjoy some peace and quiet whilst listening to the coordinated prayer chants.
If you know what "J'aime le français" means, Pondicherry should be a must visit for you. This small coastal town is soaked up in all things French. Take a walk through the french quarter or visit the auroville ashram to indulge in some meditation. Not to miss out on the delectable french cuisines. We're serious. Their croissants seem like they were flown straight out of a cafe in Paris. Cheap booze, yummy food and a laid back attitude is what this mini france is all about.
If you love James Bond, you know that scenes from the famous Octopussy were shot at the Lake Palace. India's most romantic city is also known as the venice of the east. Boat rides similar to the gondola rides, narrow streets full of mystery and lake palaces that transport you to an unkonwn time, this historical and cultural capital of Rajasthan should not be missed. A shopper's paradise, you can find a number of beautiful and intricately designed items for sale.
