The impressive results of the present study can be explained by the fact that the homeless men had very high heart rates during every single street football session and performed hundreds of fast runs, sideways runs, turns, shots and tackles.
ExerciseDaily – Research carried out by the Copenhagen Centre for Team Sport and Health in Denmark shows that street football (soccer) improves fitness and multiple health markers in homeless men. After only 12 weeks, the participants had better postural balance and higher muscle mass and bone mineralization, along with lower fat percentage and LDL cholesterol and higher aerobic fitness and exercise capacity.
Sixteen original scientific articles about the health effects of football were published on June 19 in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports. One of these articles describes the fitness and health effects of street football in 20‒50-year-old homeless men. The Copenhagen researchers, led by Professor Peter Krustrup of the Copenhagen Centre for Team Sport and Health, University of Copenhagen, conclude that there are multiple positive effects of football for socially deprived men.
Street football minimises the risk of falls and fractures
"We found that homeless men gained 1.1 kg of muscle and improved postural balance by 40% after only 12 weeks of street soccer," says Krustrup. "At the same time, the soccer training stimulated bone formation, as indicated by a 27% increase in plasma osteocalcin and a 1% higher bone mineralisation in the upper body. Altogether, these data provide clear evidence that street soccer minimises the risk of falls and fractures in a population that has a 460% higher risk of being hospitalised with sudden trauma."
Homeless men boost fitness and cardiovascular health through football
"Street soccer played 2‒3 times per week over 12 weeks also elevated maximal oxygen uptake by 11%, lowered fat mass by 1.7 kg and reduced LDL cholesterol by 13%, which corresponds to a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular disease of as much as 50%," says Morten B Randers Thomsen, a research fellow of the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports at the University of Copenhagen. "Along with a health hat-trick of improved cardiovascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal fitness, the homeless men also improved their exercise capacity, seemingly with improvements in cycle performance and intermittent exercise performance of 8 and 45%, respectively."
A call for street football for the homeless
"Less than a thousand players are currently playing in the World Cup, but an estimated 400 million people are playing football worldwide. There is a potential for many more players. Football seems to be a great type of fitness training for most people. Not only does it encourage varied, intense training, it is social and it can be played anywhere," says Krustrup. "The impressive results of the present study can be explained by the fact that the homeless men had very high heart rates during every single street football session and performed hundreds of fast runs, sideways runs, turns, shots and tackles. We also observed a very high attendance rate, which is promising for future adherence to physical activity."
Professor Krustrup concludes: "There seems to be great potential for improving the quality of many people's lives if local authorities can organise street football groups for homeless and socially deprived people."
The scientific study
The researchers at the Copenhagen Centre for Team Sport and Health have conducted numerous training studies involving football and other sports.
In the present study, 55 homeless men living in Copenhagen were included in a control group or invited to attend 4v4 street football training sessions 2‒3 times a week for 12 weeks. The participants had an average age of 37 (range: 20‒50) years and were all untrained.
A comprehensive testing battery was used before and after the 12-week intervention period, including DXA scans, blood sampling, maximal oxygen uptake tests and postural balance, bicycle performance and intermittent exercise tests.

lung cancer
lung cancer, cancer that originates in the tissues of the lungs. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States in both men and women. Like other cancers, lung cancer occurs after repeated insults to the genetic material of the cell. By far the most common source of these insults is tobacco smoke, which is responsible for about 85% of U.S. lung cancer deaths (see smoking). The incidence of lung cancer in other countries follows their smoking patterns. Some other carcinogens known to cause lung cancer are found in the workplace. These include bischloromethyl ether and chloromethyl ether in chemical workers, arsenic in copper smelting, and asbestos in shipbuilders and other asbestos workers. Radon poses a risk to uranium and fluorspar miners and may pose a risk in some private residences as well. African Americans have a higher incidence of lung cancer than European Americans, even after adjusting for smoking.

Hi Furiends!
I'm so sorry I haven't purred to you all for so long…I think it might even be the longest period ever that I haven't blogged. It's been so busy recently! Mum went to the UK for a week, mum's parents also came out and visited us here in Italy, our motorboat had to come out of the water and have her engine taken out for a repair, April and Blue have been keeping me busy, AND some horrible people tried to break into our house whilst we were all asleep! (Luckily our alarm sounded and they got scared and ran away.)
All of these topics need further explanations but I just wanted to let you all know that we are all safe and I am missing and thinking of you all.
Bisous, Bailey

Joe Manganiello realizes that with all of his brawn so frequently exposed on the big and small screens, you're not paying the closest attention to his brain. And he aims to change that.
With his sexually charged role in director Steven Soderbergh's foray into the world of male exotic dancers, "Magic Mike," in which he struts on stage in approximately half of a fireman's uniform and his turn as the strong, sensitive and frequently shirtless werewolf Alcide Herveaux on "True Blood," Manganiello has cultivated a legion of admirers who admittedly may be focusing more on his form than his technique.
But the 35-year-old actor, who graduated from the prestigious Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, tells PopcornBiz that he's confident that with each new role audiences will see beyond his six-pack.
I'm sure the Steven Soderbergh factor made "Magic Mike" an almost immediate yes, but was there any hesitation at all about taking on the part of Big D*** Richie?
The only hesitation was just that voice in my head that said, 'Okay, everybody makes such a big deal out of you being shirtless on "True Blood." Now you're going to be a male stripper.' So there was just a thought about that – but who cares? I'm known for being shirtless in projects helmed by Oscar winners. So what? Fine. I think that if it was a male stripper movie with most anyone else you probably would look at it cross-eyed, but it's Steven. Then you go, 'Okay, it's Steven. It's Channing [Tatum]. It's [Matthew] McConaughey. It's penis pump and it's Fireman. It's Gold Man.'
What did you find fascinating about the stripping world?
I was really surprised by how funny it all is and how much of a sense of humor these guys have about it all. It feels like 1980s pro wrestling: There're these giant, jacked-up guys in these ridiculous outfits. I think I did have preconceived notions about the world. I went, 'Male stripping? What the hell?' But then you think about it and you go, 'Hmm. Drink all day. Do drugs with your buddies. Go out on stage, grind on these screaming, clawing, pawing women who are stuffing all their money down your pants, you go in the back, you count it all and you bring chicks into the back, you take them into the parking lot, into your car, you take them home, you sleep it off. You get up, you lift some weights. You go back and you start drinking again.' I think that it's the fun level.
The other side of it is that I started working in clubs at age 16, which I would not want my kid to be doing. But I think that a lot of my formal education about men and women and gender relations was formulated by the ideas that I got while I was working at those bars and clubs and watching those people night after night. So I think the other fascinating thing about the script is that it documents that pretty well, documents the pitfalls of that. It shows the shiny side of it, the sexy side of it and then it shows the really grimy, depraved side of it as well.
Did you have to psych yourself up for the first time you came out to do dance on stage?
We did not have a ton of time to film all the stuff that we needed to do, so I think the pressure was, the anxiety was surrounding wanting to make sure that you land your routines. You want to make sure that at this point in the beat this comes off, this does this. I have all these props. I have a tear-away suit. I have suspenders. But from there, once you had that structure set up, that skeleton set up, I mean it was just a free-for-all.
Tell us about the transition from being a good-looking, in-shape actor to that same guy who's famous on a show that people love, and what comes with it?
It makes swimming in the ocean difficult because paparazzi, they burrow under the sand or something. They're just at the beach, or wherever you go. So I think that's probably the trickiest part of it, the private life and people being curious about it, nosy. Or saying stuff that has no basis in reality and is completely untrue and then just running wild with that on the Internet.
You got a taste of that recently with the explosion of rumors about you and Demi Moore.
Really! And it's founded in nothing. I mean, there's literally nothing. I met this woman for three minutes and it was everywhere. They called my father at home. And it's like no one thinks, 'Well, wouldn't that maybe cause damage to someone that I was actually dating? If they read that don't you think they would be upset by that?' So there's that, but I mean, the other side of it…I don't know. It's just such funny time for me right now, just being on such a sexualized TV show and such a sexualized movie at the same time.
In this project and on "True Blood" you've shown you have acting chops. How much planning is going into reminding everyone that you're an actor that also happens to have great abs, as you move ahead into other projects?
I spent the first half of my career doing nothing but classical material. We're talking Shakespeare and Ibsen and Chekhov and ancient Greek. So that doesn't go anywhere. I'm not really worried about it. I wasn't in this kind of shape before 'True Blood.' This is the kind of shape that I got into to play the character. It just so happens that there's been this succession of parts in a certain line.
U.S. & World
Work ethic is the only thing that I have control over, so the fact that even if I was cast because of my abs – so what? I work my ass off for that stuff. Steven Soderbergh cast me in 'Magic Mike' because of my appearance on 'Chelsea Handler.' He was flipping channels and went, 'That guy is great. That's the sense of humor we need.' Alan Ball cast me [for 'True Blood'] with my shirt on, coming in and reading for his show. What am I supposed to say? I think that I just bring as much as I can to roles and if the part calls for that kind of stuff, then I'm going to do it 110% like Edward Norton did back in 'American History X' and the way that Robert De Niro did in 'Cape Fear.'
This is also a great time to be in great shape to play a superhero or something in that arena. Is there a dream character or project that you'd love to tackle?
Yeah. I want to do it with someone smart. My schedule for 'True Blood' kept me out of playing Superman, and that was the only reason why I couldn't do it. There's one out there for me. I'm just not sure what it is and I just want to make sure that it's a really smart one.

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team fell to the University of South Florida on Sunday afternoon. The Blue Devils fall to 0-2 with the loss, while the Bulls improve to 1-1 on the season with the 81-47 victory. CCSU will host Rhode Island on Wednesday night in the first home game of the season. Tip-off is schedule for 7 p.m. at Detrick Gym.
The Blue Devils grabbed the first lead of the game on a layup by senior Jaleen Thomas and matched baskets with the Bulls over the first 10 minutes of play. Senior Lauren Arbogast connected on a layup and free throw to tie the game at 11-11 and two minutes later her jump shot gave CCSU a 13-11 lead. However, that was CCSU's final lead of the game as USF scored seven straight points to go ahead 18-13.
The Bulls, who are receiving votes in the national polls, used a 25-12 run to close the first half. The late burst gave USF a 36-25 halftime lead. USF carried the momentum through halftime and opened the second period with a 30-10 run, which put the game out of reach.
Arbogast led CCSU with 12 points. She was the only Blue Devil player to reach double-digits in the game. Sophomore Amanda Harrington and freshman Lauren Wolosik each contributed six points.
Woloisk scored her first collegiate points on a pair of free throws in the first half. Classmate Aleah Epps also recorded her first collegiate points in the game. She connected on a jump shot with 7:06 left in the second half. Epps finished the game with four points.
Harrington led CCSU in rebounds with eight. Sophomore Kayla Miller was second on the team with five boards. She also blocked a pair of shots in the game.
The Blue Devils were unable to convert on three-point attempts (2-of-19), while the Bulls hit 39.1% (9-of-23) from beyond the arc.
The Blue Devils will hold their 2013-14 home opener on Wednesday night as the host Rhode Island at Detrick Gym.

Comments on the UBV Photometric System's Defining Standard Stars
Arlo U. Landolt
Department of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803
Received August 2, 2013; accepted August 6, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to call the observing community's attention to the re-affirmation that a majority, 80 percent, of the basic UBV standard stars either are suspected or known variable stars. The elucidation of these stars' variability characteristics in exquisite detail is a task for which AAVSO observers are eminently qualified.

It wasn't that long ago when a competent doctor might have told us that "there is no pain associated with MS." It's funny how much they've learned in the past few years.
We've talked about some of the pains associated with multiple sclerosis here before. There have been discussions of the MS Hug, stabbing leg & foot pain, Lhermitte's sign, etc. One MS Pain we haven't much talked about is trigeminal neuralgia (TN) also known as tic douloureux. When people have this, they feel a hot, stabbing facial pain.
We haven't spoken about it in these pages because, quite frankly, I didn't think that many of us experienced it. After one of the guys in my "MS Poker Night" guy's group missed a meeting and returned the next month to tell us about it, I started looking around.
Just like any other nerve in the central nervous system (CNS), the Trigeminal nerve (which runs along the head, face and jaw line) can be de-myelinated. This stripping of insulation caused issues different than many others.
The good news is that most people don't lose function in the muscles controlled by said nerve (though I've read a few accounts). The bad news is that the pain can border on the unbearable.
When it was described to the group, we all shrunk at the thought. This man was walking along on his daily exercise route when he was struck to the ground with pain radiating from the side of his head along his jaw. It isn't a lasting pain for this man (about 5-7 seconds at a time) but it comes and goes to the point that he will no longer drive.
Just like when I first heard of pain associated with Ocular Neuritis, I was shocked and horrified!
Reading the bits and bobs I've found on the Web (even from pretty reliable sources) seems to be a bit more vague than I'm comfortable sharing. So, I thought, let's go to my favorite source…YOU!
I'd like to open the weekend's conversation about trigeminal neuralgia and see what any of you know about the topic. Have you endured such symptoms? Have you even heard of it? Do you know someone with MS (or another disorder) who lives with these symptoms?
I always, ALWAYS, learn so much from this community…and I'm not alone. Let's share what you may know, or not know, about TN.
The heat has finally broken here in Seattle, so I'm happy for that!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

A pair of convicted sex offenders registered as living in Chatham County have been missing for more than a month, including one labeled a sexual predator.
INTERACTIVE: See names and photos of registered sex offenders in your neighborhood.
Warrants were issued in November for the arrests of 30-year-old Christopher Aaron Walter and 53-year-old General George Smalls after it was discovered neither were living in the locations at which they'd registered with the Chatham Sheriff's Office earlier in the year, sheriff's office spokeswoman Michelle Gavin said at the time.
While the sheriff's office's Sex Offender Registration and Tracking Unit, or SORT, and the U.S. Marshal Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force have been searching for the missing offenders, they've exhausted all leads, Gavin has said.
She asked anyone who may know the whereabouts of Walter or Smalls to immediately contact law enforcement.
Walter, convicted in September 2002 of enticing a child for indecent purposes in Chatham County, went missing Nov. 13, Gavin said.
The homeless man, who'd registered as living under the Talmadge Bridge near the Oglethorpe bus station, cut his required ankle monitor that day and disappeared. Walter was mandated by state law to always wear the monitor because Georgia's Sexual Offender Registration Review Board labeled him a Level III sex offender - or sexually dangerous predator - indicating it believed he was likely to commit a future sexual crime.
It was not the first time Walter absconded from his registered location. Chatham County Court records show Walter was arrested in April 2007 for not living where he'd registered and was sentenced later that year to jail time and probation and ordered to abstain from all contact with minors.
The other missing sex offender registered in Chatham County, Smalls last indicated he was living at the Inner City Night Shelter at 124 Arnold St. State parole officers discovered Nov. 29 Smalls was not living at the shelter and notified SORT, Gavin said.
Smalls was released from the Coastal Transitional Center on parole in September 2011 after serving more than 12 years for October 1998 convictions in Chatham County that included two counts of obstructing an officer and the false imprisonment of a minor charge for which he must register as a sex offender.
Georgia Department of Corrections documents indicate Smalls, designated a Level II - or intermediate - sex offender has served six prison terms for a wide range of crimes including cocaine and marijuana possession, criminal trespass, burglary, and possession of a firearm by a felon.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Walter or Smalls is asked to contact the CCSO's SORT unit at 912-656-5715, CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or 911, Gavin said.

Taylor Precision Products, Inc., a supplier of consumer and professional measurement devices, today announced that the company has acquired Metrokane, a leading North American marketer of wine and kitchen accessories, including the Original Rabbit Corkscrew and the Rabbit Electric Cocktail Mixer.
Metrokane sells products under a number of brand names including Rabbit, Houdini and Houdini Deluxe. The move, coupled with a smaller acquisition occurring concurrently, will increase Taylor's revenues by 50%, according to the company.
Since its July 2012 acquisition by Centre Partners Management, a New York-based private equity firm, in conjunction with Rob Kay who became Executive Chairman with the acquisition, Taylor has been pursuing a strategy of broadening its product offerings through a combination of new product development and strategic acquisition initiatives. Metrokane represents the company's second acquisition during this period.
"We are extremely excited to be adding the world class brands and products from the innovator who created the wine accessory category over the past 15 years," Kay said. "This highly strategic combination will further enhance Taylor's capability to offer the most meaningful brands and products to our retail trade partners and builds a strong cornerstone addition to our growing portfolio."
Taylor said it intends to retain the sales, marketing and product design capabilities that have been the hallmark of Metrokane's success. The founders will remain with the company for a transition period of 15 months.
"The relationship and chemistry built up with Riki Kane and her team over discussions covering the past year made it very clear that this combination would be highly beneficial to all parties and allow us to better serve our customer base in all respects," Kay said. "There is a tremendous amount of respect for Riki and what has been accomplished by Metrokane and Taylor looks forward to being a strong steward of the brands and products and continue to lead through innovation, packaging and design."

Associated Press
February 17, 2009
CINCINNATI—An increasing number of Ohio parents are using religious exemptions to delay or refuse for immunizations for children amid fears that vaccines contribute to autism.
Ohio Department of Health data shows the number of religious or philosophical exemptions nearly quadrupled in Ohio between 1998 and 2008, though that figure still represents fewer than 1 in 100 children.
All states require children to be immunized for school. Most allow religious exemptions, and Ohio and 19 others also permit exemptions for personal reasons.
Doctors say they're concerned that more exemptions could lead to outbreaks of preventable illnesses among children who haven't had the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine.

Ozone is a potent greenhouse gas whose concentration is highly variable and controlled by atmospheric chemistry and dynamics. Aircraft emissions of NOx accelerate local photochemical production of O3 in the troposphere; modeling studies suggest that these emissions are responsible today for average O3 enhancements of 2-5 ppbv in the middle troposphere at northern mid-latitudes, where most aircraft fly (see Chapters 2 and 4). This ozone increase will generally be proportional to the amount of NOx emitted (Grewe et al., 1999), but evolving atmospheric composition, including increases in surface sources of combustion-related NOx, will affect the aircraft impact.
Four subsonic ozone perturbations based on detailed 3-D patterns of NOx emissions were chosen (along with their control atmospheres) for the calculation of RFs: NASA-1992, NASA-2015, FESGa (tech 1), and FESGe (tech 1) at 2050. Results for NASA-1992 were scaled by 1.15 to give NASA-1992*, and those for NASA-2015 by 1.05 to give NASA-2015*. Table 6-1 describes some of the basic properties of these aircraft scenarios, including total NOx emissions. Chapter 4 supplied the seasonal pattern of O3 perturbations for these scenarios based on model calculations and reported a factor of 2 uncertainty in this best value. The modeled RFs from these O3 perturbations agree quite well, and the stratospheric temperature adjustment does not greatly affect the result (as was confirmed by two independent model calculations). Given the predominantly tropospheric perturbation, the uncertainty in modeling RF is small, and the uncertainty in the final result may be a factor of only 3. The ozone RFs are +0.023 W m-2 for NASA-1992*, +0.040 W m-2 for NASA-2015*, and +0.060 W m-2 for FESGa (tech1) 2050 (see also Table 6-1).
The development of atmospheric chemistry models in the past 2 years has allowed a consensus to build such that aircraft ozone perturbations can be calculated with a likely (2/3 probability) range of about a factor of 2 (higher/lower, see Chapter 4). Our estimate of the resulting RF for this predominantly tropospheric perturbation does not significantly enhance that interval.
The NASA-1992, NASA-2015, and FESGa (tech 1) at 2050 scenarios produce global mean column ozone increases (predominantly tropospheric) of 0.5, 1.1, and 1.7 Dobson Units (DU), respectively. Our estimate of the increase in tropospheric ozone associated with all anthropogenic changes (IS92a including aircraft plus surface emissions of NOx, CO, and hydrocarbons) is about 3 DU from 1992 to 2015 and 7 DU from 1992 to 2050. These results represent an advance in our understanding since the Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1996), when future ozone changes were scaled only to CH4 increases and did not include the effects of doubling NOx emissions from 1990 to 2050.
Two HSCT cases with detailed 3-D emission scenarios-one with 500 aircraft and the other with 1,000 aircraft-were used to calculate RF from stratospheric O3 and H2O perturbations (see Table 6-1). Most of the ozone change occurs above the tropopause; thus, there is poorer agreement among RF models and a greater difference in RF values after stratospheric temperatures adjust. The ozone perturbation calculated for 500 supersonic aircraft with the 2015 background atmosphere is substantially different in nature from that calculated for 1,000 aircraft with the 2050 atmosphere, in part because of specified changes in chlorine and methane contents of the stratosphere (see Chapter 4). Nevertheless, the best RF values are about the same: -0.01 W m-2. The uncertainty range in these values is large and changes sign (-0.04 to +0.01 W m-2), reflecting not only the range in O3 perturbations given by Chapter 4 but also the large uncertainty in deriving RF for stratospheric perturbations. This ozone-related RF for the HSCT fleet is based only on the stratospheric ozone perturbation calculated by the models in Chapter 4; the tropospheric changes are discarded, and a correction for the displacement of about 11% of the subsonic traffic is included, as shown in Table 6-1 (scenario Fa1H).

Lea Davison, Team USA's best hope for an Olympic medal in mountain biking, loves to see girls on the trails. So much so that she has made it a bit of a mission in life.
Davison and her sister, Sabra, started the nonprofit Little Bellas program in 2007 as a way to mentor young cyclists. The goal, according to the group's mission statement, is to help young women "realize their potential through cycling" by having fun in a constructive environment.
When Davison wasn't racing overseas this spring and summer, she was home spending time training and with the program.
U.S. & World
"It's inspiring the next generation," Davison said, "but we're not necessarily ... competition-focused."
There may be no better inspiration for aspiring cyclists than a woman who has bounced back from two hip surgeries to qualify for two Olympic Games.
"I know that this Olympics in Rio is a big goal for her and a big reason she was able to stay motivated through her two injuries," said Marc Gullickson, national mountain bike program director for USA Cycling.
The 33-year-old Davison finished 11th four years ago in London while U.S. cyclist Georgia Gould took bronze. Gould isn't going to Rio this year, with USA Cycling selecting the two highest-ranked riders in Chloe Woodruff, who is 27th, and Davison.
She'll be facing world champion Annika Langvad of Denmark in Saturday's race. Switzerland's Jolanda Neff and Canada's Catherine Pendrel are also among the favorites.
Davison is peaking at just the right time.
Ranked 15th in the world, Davison won silver in early July at the World Championships in the Czech Republic. Her career-best finish at worlds came a week after she was named to the Olympic team for a second time.
Davison had a quiet spring, though that was in large part by design with the Olympics in mind.
"Lea had such a strong performance over the last two, three years," Gullickson said. "Although not an automatic pick for the team, she was pretty close to that. ... She had the luxury of laying off of that a little bit."
Davison, born in Syracuse, New York, and a resident of Vermont, has a history of coming back strong from layoffs.
She had surgery to repair torn cartilage in her right hip in January 2014, about four years after a similar injury on her left hip that required a similar procedure. These are not typical problems for cyclists, Gullickson said, but are more often found in running or jumping sports.
Just a conversation with Davison offers a glimpse of an optimistic outlook that helped power her through recoveries. The long-term goal of the Olympics was always in focus.
"Came back, and stronger in order to get to the next level," said Davison. "Seems like the next injury is an opportunity for something."
She got on the bike each time, the kind of lesson that Davison might instill to girls aspiring to be future Olympians.
Because of her hip surgeries, Davison has adjusted her training to include more of a focus on prevention and strength training. Cross-country mountain biking can be a bumpy ride.
"You're navigating these extreme obstacles, your heart rate is through roof, you're cross-eyed," she said. "Now in that state, you have to navigate these technical descents for many laps ... and it's scary."
But she ends up getting right back on the bike.

Rep. Takai Enters Race for Congress
There's now a trio of Democrats running for Colleen Hanabusa's 1st Congressional seat.
With his wife Sami and two children by his side, state Rep. Mark Takai announced Wednesday that he's joining Honolulu City Councilman Stanley Chang and state Sen. Will Espero in next year's race for U.S. Congress.
It's a candidacy he says that focuses on the military, seniors, jobs and education. But ending the cross-party gridlock in Washington is his number-one priority.
"I have a track record that shows that I support things that, that make sense, regardless of partisanship and party labels," said Takai. "I think the main thing here is to get the work done and to end the gridlock in Congress."
It's all part of his experience he said gives him an advantage in the race.
Takai said, "We have a great record of experience. Nineteen years in the Legislature advocating for things that matter I think the most to Hawaii's people sets me apart."
But his legislative colleague argues he is the one who is better suited for the job.
Sen. Will Espero said, "I have 30 years of work experience in the state, 22 years of city and state government experience and I think that those years of experience have given me the knowledge and the ability to continue my public service in the halls of Congress."
Espero said his top platform is strengthening our economy, while Councilman Stanley Chang, a political rookie compared to others in the race, said his top priority is bringing fresh ideas and leadership.
"You know, this election is about the future of Hawaii," Chang said. "It's about who can bring about the best quality of life, not just five years from now, or the next election, but really 20, 50 years from now."

College graduates with student loans accumulate less lifetime wealth than their debt-free classmates, according to a study released this month.
"Though a college education remains the surest path to a middle-class life, evidence has begun to mount that student debt may be far more detrimental to financial futures than once thought, particularly for those with the highest levels of debt: students of color and students from low-income families," writes Robert Hiltonsmith. His study was published Aug. 1 by public policy organization Demos.
Using a variety of datasets to create a model of indebted and debt-free households, Hiltonsmith's analysis highlights some striking realities for those saddled with student loan debt. These five student loan stats stuck out:
1. A dual-head, college-educated household with average student loan debt loses nearly $208,000 of wealth in a lifetime.
Sixty-six percent of college students graduate four-year institutions with an average of $26,600 in student loans. If both heads of house carry that burden, the family is paying off $53,000 in student loans, which impacts the ability to spend and save.
2. Student loan debt has quadrupled in 10 years.
That means student loan debt now totals $1 trillion nationwide. That statistic was available before this report, but it takes on new meaning with Hiltonsmith's analysis. Factor in the calculations from this study, and that $1 trillion in debt translates to $4 trillion in lost wealth for a household with education debt.
3. Nearly two-thirds of that wealth loss comes from lower retirement savings.
That's $134,000 lost in a lifetime. As recent college graduates organize their finances, they should not only address loan payments but also plan to save for retirement. Take away the loan payments, and those grads have more money to save.
4. Debt-laden households earn less than debt-free households over their lifetime.
The model estimates show an interesting comparison: Graduates with loans initially earn more money than their counterparts without loans. As time goes on, the earning levels of debt-free graduates grow at a higher rate and surpass the salaries of indebted graduates.
The study's findings show less job flexibility and mobility for earners with education debt, likely because of the need to meet monthly loan payments.
5. Those with student loan debt pay more to buy a home.
Specifically, households with education debt face higher interest rates and monthly payments on their mortgages. Based on the study's model, education debt makes a difference in early life milestones.
"Debt-free households purchased more expensive homes, put down a larger down payment, and paid a lower mortgage interest rate than indebted households as well," Hiltonsmith writes.
This impacts home equity for households with student loans, and more than a third of that $208,000 wealth-loss figure is attributed to lower home equity.

Vonn skis in Chile, optimistic about knee rehab
Send a link to a friend
[September 03, 2013]
(AP) -- Lindsey Vonn is skiing in Chile and way ahead of her rehab schedule with the Sochi Olympics five months away.
"I can't tell which knee is injured," she said in a statement released through her U.S. team. "That's a good sign."
The four-time World Cup overall champion returned to the slopes over the weekend nearly seven months after her injury. She eased her way back with two gentle and relaxed training runs. The next day, she revved it up a little more, taking a few gradual turns along the course in Portillo, Chile.
Her surgically repaired right knee held up fine. So much so that Vonn now envisions some slalom gate training by the time the two-week camp with the ski team ends.
The reigning Olympic downhill champion shredded her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments during a crash at the world championships in Schladming, Austria, last February. She wasn't supposed to even begin thinking about stepping back into ski boots until at least November.
But her knee has progressed so much and so fast that she's significantly bumped up her timetable. Vonn plans on returning to the World Cup circuit for the races in Beaver Creek, Colo., in late November.
"I've crashed a lot in my career and I'm just getting back up as fast as I can," said Vonn, who made headlines in March by announcing she was dating Tiger Woods. "Unfortunately, it's taken me seven months to get back up this time, but I was really excited to get back out there. It feels like the right time and my body feels ready."
Vonn had plenty of company on the course in Chile, joining fellow skiers Julia Mancuso, Stacey Cook, Leanne Smith and Laurenne Ross.
The 28-year-old Vonn arrived on Saturday and promptly headed for the hill, not wanting to waste time after being cleared. She took it easy at first, with nothing too extreme.
On Sunday, she tested herself some more, gently arcing into turns on the flatter sections of the hill. This was Vonn's version of caution.

"I usually go from zero to a hundred," she said. "I'm not good in between, so this is going to be a challenge."
It could turn into an historic season for Vonn -- knee willing, of course. She's just three wins shy of tying Austrian great Annemarie Moser-Proell's women's mark of 62 World Cup victories.
And then there's the Sochi Games, where her expectations remain high as ever.
"I'm going to be back just as good, if not better, than I was before," Vonn recently said.
As for her wipeout, she's watched it over and over again, trying to figure out what exactly happened. Here's the short take: Cruising along, Vonn hit a patch of softer snow that caused her right ski to stop and then buckle. She then flipped over her ski tips.
"I've had crashes that were honestly much worse than this one," Vonn said.
Seven months ago, it looked as if the Olympics might be out of the question. Or, if she did make it into the starting gate, she wouldn't be the same skier who won the downhill at the Vancouver Games four years ago.
But she's made a rapid recovery, her knee already "98 percent" healthy compared to her good one. She also no longer needs to ice her knee after a workout.
"I knew I would get to this point. I just didn't know how long it would take me," Vonn said. "I didn't know how fast or slow the recovery process would be. But I always knew I'd be back. I never really doubted it. I'm really happy that I'm finally 100 percent and I'm not injured anymore."

Activities on campus and visits to sites around the community this summer will help the elementary-age students of the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program at Hope College discover how science impacts their lives and improves their world - and along the way seek to inspire them to consider careers in science themselves.
Activities on campus and visits to sites around the community this summer will help the elementary-age students of the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program at Hope College discover how science impacts their lives and improves their world - and along the way seek to inspire them to consider careers in science themselves.
CASA's six-week summer session, which begins Monday, June 21, will explore "Science Explosion: Our Future Comes to Life." Approximately 100 students will participate in the program, which recently received $6,000 in grant support from the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area and $880 from the Holland Junior Welfare League.
CASA, a community organization housed at Hope, provides academic and cultural enrichment for at-risk first- through fifth-grade students. The program, which runs year-round, is intended to improve the students' academic performance by providing the tools they need to succeed in school.
Through this summer's program, CASA is hoping to help the students appreciate the range of opportunities available to them in science-related professions and to see how education can put those opportunities within reach.
"Today's young students must hit the ground running with a pool of skills, experiences and knowledge that allows them to enter the workforce," said Fonda Green, who is executive director of CASA. "Knowing their options and plugging into emerging careers will be critical. They will need encouragement to explore possibilities and dream about their futures."
The students will engage in field trips to the BPW's power plant in Holland, to learn about energy; to the OutdoorDiscoveryCenter, to learn about plants and animals; and to Tulip City Airport, to learn about aviation. The Holland Police Department will demonstrate fingerprinting, polygraph testing and thermal imagers. At the Holland Area Arts Council, the students will work on art projects in kinetics and motion. Through the college's science camp program, the students will investigate topics including the laws of motion; circulation and blood types; DNA; classification of organisms; natural selection; and electromagnetism.
CASA's summer program will include a variety of activities in addition to the visits and explorations related to the science theme. Also during the six weeks, the students will attend a production by Hope Summer Repertory Theatre; engage in a reading program through Herrick District Library; pursue service projects; and receive dental care through the "Miles of Smiles" program. In addition, several of the students will participate in additional activities in the afternoon through the local Girl Scouts program.
CASA runs five classes, each led by a certified teacher and assistant four mornings a week during the summer session. During the school year, the students meet after school twice per week in one-on-one sessions with volunteer tutors, most of whom are Hope students.
The academic-year and summer programs serve Holland and West Ottawa students. A total of 150 elementary-age students participated in CASA during the 2009-10 year.
CASA was established in 1987 by Marge Rivera Bermann and Latin Americans United for Progress (LAUP) and originally housed at First United Methodist Church. CASA moved to Hope College in 1989, and has its offices and summer classes in newly renovated Graves Hall and its school-year activities in classrooms in Lubbers Hall.

Do Criticisms Overcome the Praises of Journal Impact Factor?
Journal impact factor (IF) as a gauge of influence and impact of a particular journal comparing with other journals in the same area of research, reports the mean number of citations to the published articles in particular journal. Although, IF attracts more attention and being used more frequently than other measures, it has been subjected to criticisms, which overcome the advantages of IF. Critically, extensive use of IF may result in destroying editorial and researchers' behaviour, which could compromise the quality of scientific articles. Therefore, it is the time of the timeliness and importance of a new invention of journal ranking techniques beyond the journal impact factor.

Berta Rayna goes to synagogue only on special occasions - like the bar mitzvah she was attending on Saturday when powerful suicide bombings hit two of the city's main synagogues. The attacks killed 25 people and injured over 300 in a strike that authorities say was perpetrated by Turks trained by Al Qaeda.
Tuesday, the red-haired grandmother was one of several thousand mourners who huddled in the freezing rain to lay to rest six victims from the Jewish community - a minority amid Muslim casualties. As Ms. Rayna stood with her daughter and granddaughter, she struggled with the images running on replay in her head: the crash of the explosion, the shattering of crystal teardrops in the chandeliers, the people who didn't make it.
Turkey's entire Jewish community is in a similar state of shock after the weekend bombings, trying to come to terms with its future in a Muslim country which has been largely hospitable to Jews - but which is no longer on the fringes of the map of the Middle East's problems. Although synagogues and individual Jews here have been attacked before, Saturday's bombings appear to mark the first time Turks have been involved in a major attack on a Jewish target. A 1986 attack on the Neve Shalom synagogue, where Rayna was on Saturday, was carried out by Palestinians affiliated with the Abu Nidal group.
"I married all three of my children there," she says, her blue eyes turning glassy behind her large spectacles. "But right now, I wouldn't go back there for quite a while."
Fears of additional attacks have raised concerns in Istanbul that the city's Jews, a largely middle-class population of about 20,000 people, will have a hard time picking up the pieces. Already, many of the city's approximately 15 synagogues are in well-guarded, unmarked buildings, while youth and social clubs are tucked anonymously into quiet side streets.
Still, the community had been undergoing something of a renaissance in the past few years, with an upsurge in cultural activities. In September, the community participated in a European-wide day of Jewish culture by holding openhouses in all of its synagogues, institutions, and museums. Now, those doors are likely to close - all social activities and meetings have been canceled until further notice.
"I have a feeling that this will affect people in a very bad way. People were just starting to send their kids out to be more involved with the community, and now I think they will be more afraid," says Stella Issever, a community veteran who came back to Istanbul from the US Thursday - and narrowly missed the bombings by choosing to attend a different synagogue. "But for someone who goes to synagogue, it's a part of life, and you can't not go back to it."
Silvyo Ovadya, a spokesman for the community, says he hopes the community will recover as soon as the buildings are repaired. "In the long term, people will come again, because the real issue isn't Turkish terrorism, it's international terrorism. Maybe they used Turkish people to do it, but the planning was not made in Turkey."
Indeed, Turkish officials say that the bombings have links to Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda, and that the men suspected of carrying out the bombings had training abroad. According to reports in major Turkish newspapers, Turkish officials have been tracing these links ever since a notebook containing suicide bombing instructions in Turkish was found in an abandoned Al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan not long after the fall of the Taliban two years ago.
"It has emerged that there is a link with an organization in Afghanistan in terms of belief and understanding," Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul told reporters. "A trail has been found and relationships have emerged."
Turkish media also carried the names and photographs of alleged Turkish militants who were said to have come from southeastern Turkey. Three of the four trained in Pakistan and Iran, Reuters reported, and one had fought in predominantly Muslim Chechnya against Russian troops.
Many members of the Turkish Jewish community are descendants of ancestors who fled the Spanish Inquisition in 1492, which demanded mass conversion to Catholicism. The Ottoman sultanate welcomed Jews here, building the Turkish empire's reputation for diversity and tolerance.
More accurately, however, this is a community that historians say dates at least to the Byzantine Empire, and possibly earlier. Today, there are an estimated 25,000 Jews across the country, although experts say the real numbers have been dwindling due to assimilation, intermarriage, low birthrates, and emigration other countries.
Rifat Bali, a historian of the community, says that its leaders have sought to downplay its shrinking numbers and other problems. He points to a largely marginalized society that - as if according to unwritten rules - is expected to stay out of politics and public life. "The Turkish Jews have not been fully integrated or Turkified, and they have had to limit their expectations. A kid grows up knowing he is never going to become a government minister, so no one tries, and the same goes for positions in the military," says Mr. Bali.
As Turkey's chief rabbi, Isak Haleva, spoke at Tuesday's funeral, he invoked the country's founding father, Kemal Ataturk, quoting his motto calling for "Peace inside our borders, peace in the world." Said Haleva: "We can't think of any religion that would support such actions. From now on, we will pray for anyone who goes out to pray."
In the masses of mourners, a pretty young woman stood with tears running down her face and a picture of a Berta Ozdogan - one of the victims - pinned to her white jacket. Betul Basol, a Muslim, cried for her co-worker, a Jewish woman who was four months pregnant - and married to a Muslim man.
The couple were killed on Saturday as they walked into the Bar Mitzvah celebration. "They were very happy. For us, it doesn't matter which religion you are," says Ms. Basol. "It's a good thing neither of them left the other behind."
The rain came down harder, and Rayna looked up at the sky. "You see the weather?" she asks. "That's because God is crying."

As the weather gets colder, I turn to comfort food. The term "comfort" includes a lot of sensations – soups that warm my hands as I hold the bowl, beef roasts that remind me of school night meals as a kid, and tasty desserts served fresh from the oven.
Judith Fertig's latest cookbook "Heartland – The Cookbook" (Andrews McNeel, 2011) captures all of these comforts through her rich recipes and stories of the farmers, markets, cities and towns that produce great food across the middle of America.
While the comfort food recipes were the first to jump out at me, make no mistake; this is definitely a four-season cookbook. Ms. Fertig builds dishes from farm to table, highlighting harvests and peak seasons for ingredients. She also pays special attention preserving seasonal foods, sharing recipes for pickles, chutneys, and more that will please modern homesteaders and slow food fans alike.
I was raised in Michigan, granddaughter of hearty pioneer stock from Swanton, Ohio, where the family farm still stands today. Dishes in the book bring to mind holiday celebrations, family meals together, and childhood road trips around the Midwest.
Fertig pays special attention to regional delicacies and the cultural traditions that have spurred generations to prepare meals the same way as their ancestors. I appreciated seeing sophisticated twists that freshened the approach to dishes as familiar as chicken breasts and creamed corn.
In addition to her menu, Fertig builds a Midwest food narrative using quotes, interviews, and short essays throughout the book to deliver a rich food biography of the region. Fertig profiles farmers, fruit stand owners, and food purveyors who are shaping the modern food scene. Smokehouses, dairies, and heritage farms are listed alongside bakeries, potato chip purveyors, and craft breweries amid the recipes and in an extensive resource index.
The book is also beautifully illustrated with photos of sweeping landscapes, portraits, places, and animals that make the Midwest great. Lovely food photography in the kitchen is provided by Jonathan Chester and Ben Pieper.
One dough, six different recipes
Fertig's no-knead doughs are fantastic, serving as the pantry staple for multiple recipes in the book. The No-knead Clover Honey Dough is an anchor for six other breads, including the Cider-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls that I made (see recipe next page).
Recipes are well laid out on the page and descriptive, although probably worth an extra read for less-experienced cooks. The instructions are easy to follow but feature few in-process photos. Recipes also assume that basic supplies and skills are already in-hand. While most experienced cooks will appreciate Fertig's tone, one might think twice before giving this to a novice cook.
On that note, the book is more than a collection of recipes, but also a joy to sit and read – at home on a coffee table as a regional interest guide as it is on the kitchen counter.
(see recipes next page)
No-Knead Clover Honey Dough
6-1/2 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons instant or bread machine yeast
1-1/2 tablespoons fine kosher salt
1 cup clover honey or other amber honey
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 large eggs
Warm water (about 100 degrees F.)
Spoon the flour into a measuring cup, level with a knife or your finger, then dump the flour into a 16-cup mixing bowl
Add the yeast and salt to the flour. Stir together with a wooden spoon or a Danish dough whisk. Mix the honey, oil, and eggs together in a 4-cup measuring cup.
Add enough warm water to reach the 4-cup mark and stir together. Pour the honey mixture into the flour mixture, stir to combine, then beat for 40 strokes, scraping the bottom and the sides of the bowl, until the dough forms a lumpy, sticky mass.
Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature (72 degrees Fahrenheit) for 2 hours, or until the dough has risen to about 2 inches below the rim of the bowl and has a spongelike appearance.
Use that day or place the dough, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to three days before baking. If you like, write the date on the plastic wrap so you know the bake-by-date for your dough.
Cider-Glazed Cinnamon Rolls
1 batch No-Knead Clover Honey Dough
Cinnamon Filling:
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
To form the rolls, divide the dough in half with a serrated knife and a dough scraper. The remaining dough in the bowl with deflate somewhat. Transfer each dough portion to a floured surface and dust very lightly with flour. Flour your hands. Working the dough as little as possible and adding flour as necessary, roll each portion into a 12 by 8-inch rectangle. Spread the filling over the dough, leaving a ½-inch perimeter. Starting with the short end, roll each piece of dough into an 8-inch cylinder with your hands. If the dough begins to stick to the surface, use the dough scraper to push the flour under the dough and scrape it up. With the dough scraper, slice each cylinder into 1 inch pieces.
Place the rolls, filling side up, in the prepared baking pan so that they are touching. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake for 25 minutes to 27 minutes, or until browned and instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the rolls registers at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
For the glaze, whisk the sugar and cider together in a small bowl. Drizzle or spoon the glaze over the rolls when they are cool.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS/AP) — Ohio's election chief said Tuesday he will appeal a ruling that reinstates the final three early voting days in the battleground state, calling a decision last week by a federal appeals court "an unprecedented intrusion" into how states run elections.
Secretary of State Jon Husted said he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether the state Legislature or federal courts should set Ohio election laws.
Husted said Friday's decision by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would impact how elections are run in all 50 states. The appeals court in Cincinnati affirmed a lower court ruling and returned discretion to set hours on the final three days to local boards of elections.
"This ruling not only doesn't make legal sense, it doesn't make practical sense," Husted, a Republican, said in a statement.
He said it opened up the chance for Ohio's 88 county boards of elections to set different rules, while at the same time ordering that all voters be treated the same. Husted said he will be consulting with those boards to craft a directive that sets uniform hours on the three disputed days in the event his appeal isn't successful.
President Barack Obama's campaign and Democrats had sued Husted and Ohio's attorney general for cutting off early voting for most residents on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas.
Democrats had argued everyone should have the chance to vote on those three days. They said eliminating the opportunity for most Ohio residents to vote in person on those days, while giving military or overseas voters the chance to do so, led to unequal treatment.
The decision the 6th Circuit affirmed Friday came from U.S. District Judge Peter Economus in August. He said he expected Husted to direct all county elections boards to maintain a specific, consistent schedule on the three final days before Election Day.
Attorneys for the state said many laws already grant military personnel special voting accommodations, such as requirements for states to send absentee ballots to them 45 days before the election. And they contend local boards also need those three days to prepare for the election.
But Economus said the voters' right to cast ballots in person on those days outweighs the state's reasons for limiting that opportunity.
The judge issued a preliminary injunction on Aug. 31, concluding that the state's law was unconstitutional in changing the in-person early voting deadline and that the state was wrongly valuing certain votes above others.
Husted's announcement that he would go to the U.S. Supreme Court came on a day when Obama was campaigning in the state, timing a rally at the Ohio State University campus to the final day of voter registration.
Obama's fellow Democrats criticized Husted for fostering voter confusion. State Sen. Nina Turner, of Cleveland, said Husted could set uniform statewide hours on the final three days before the election if that is his goal.
Senate Democratic Leader Eric Kearney accused Husted of using delay tactics to impede voters' rights. "It is now clear that Secretary of State Jon Husted will stop at nothing to deny Ohioans full and equal access to the polls," he said.
Before the changes to the law, local boards of elections previously set early voting hours on the three final days. And weekday hours and weekend voting varied among the state's counties.
Democrats estimated in their lawsuit that 93,000 people voted during the final three-day window before the 2008 election.

Written by the developers of MSC, this book is the most comprehensive resource on the program. Part I provides an up-to-date review of the theory and science of self-compassion. Part II describes the unique pedagogy of MSC as well as 6 domains of competence required to teach MSC effectively. Part III gives a detailed description of each session along with illuminating teaching vignettes. Part IV includes two chapters on integrating self-compassion into psychotherapy. Readers will still need to take a hands-on teacher training if they wish to teach MSC, but this book goes far to empower readers to integrate the principles and individual practices of MSC into their professional activities and daily lives.

I have just watched a TV discussion about Tom Hanks as an ailing man with AIDS in the Philidelphia Story, and his lawyer just coming around to realize he is a human being… and I wondered… whether Tom hank's character too, realize he had been foolin' around with human beings.
Shallow Al gets treated like Shallow Al. I hope there's a change on both sides.
Karma would imply that one of this person's three children will be homosexual
After reading all this I think I have identified Guest's "problem"
He Gave ALL HIS LOVE to Jesus, and now Jesus doesn't call him anymore"
There is just no other rational explanation.
Guest…you so CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
What's wong with beleiving?
It affects your speeling.
I don't wish to be offensive (well actually I REALLY wish to be REALLY offensive - but I'm going to endeavour to deny myself the pleasure), but methinks this Mr Guest is a bit of a loony. Now I know all we liberal intellectual types would like to think that anyone can have their views modified through rational debate…but sometimes it's just a waste of everyone's time.
Whatever the actual reason for Mr Guest's beliefs - an inappropriate abusive relationship with an adult, an inability to aquire desirable sexual partners, an ill-advised haircut in high-school etc. etc.- it seems to me that sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular engender in him a quite remarkable repugnance proof against the even the most articulate and reasonable arguments.
I would suggest, therefore, that this is merely one of those unfortunate cases where it's easier to congratulate Mr Guest on his personal relationship with Jesus and wish him all the best in his journey to Heaven; leaving the rest of us free to actually discuss the fascinating issues raised by Mr Harris. In between frenzied bouts of 'beasting' naturally.

Nobody in government shows up to help NASA celebrate 55 amazing years
Most 55-year-olds would welcome spending their birthday away from their jobs. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is reluctantly getting to do just that today.
NASA turned 55 today, a victim of the current government shutdown, which isn't exactly something to celebrate.
The agency opened its doors October 1, 1958, following passage of legislation months earlier on July 29, 1958.
Last night at midnight eastern time, the federal government underwent its first shutdown in 17 years, with non-essential NASA employees effected, including a few thousand affected locally at the Johnson Space Center.
JSC officials said that they have 99 full-time personnel who will be exempt from any furlough. This number includes those whose work is essential to the six lives -- including two Americans -- inside the International Space Station.
"Nobody wants a shutdown or a furlough, but we must take care of the space station," said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries on Monday. "We'll just have to see what happens."
Humphries said JSC has 3,200 civil servants on staff. Of those, 93 employees will be there intermittently, and some will be allowed to work from home.
Humphries says that the adjacent Space Center Houston is a non-profit entity and will remains open.
NASA's official Instagram site is down too. Guess we'll all need to look elsewhere for stunning pics of rocket launches and kooks chiming in with their conspiracy theories on each elsewhere.
For now, as Washington does its wrangling, check out these pictures from NASA's 55 years of boldly going where no man had gone before.
It also appears that NASA's astronaut Twitter feed, @NASA_Astronauts, has also gone dormant, though the tenants on the ISS are still active.
For now as Washington does its wrangling, check out these pictures from NASA's 55 years of boldly going where no man had gone before.
