World Wetlands Day 2001
2 February 2001
30th Anniversary of the Convention on Wetlands (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
World Wetlands Day
Wetland world - A world to discover!
Message from the Secretary General
The pioneers who managed to bring the representatives of 18 countries to the small city of Ramsar, Iran, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, at the end of a cold month of January in 1971 at the risk of becoming trapped there by the snow covering the passes back to Teheran on the Elburz Mountains chain should be genuinely proud of what they accomplished then and there. The Convention on Wetlands was concluded at that meeting on 2 February. Today, 30 years later, the treaty has become an effective instrument, being used by its 123 Contracting Parties to ensure the conservation and wise use of their wetlands.
Sometimes it amazes me how these few pages, with only 12 articles that constitute the text of the Ramsar Convention, have managed to create a worldwide movement to safeguard one of the most productive and significant, and yet threatened, ecosystems of the planet. Because in my view, the Convention on Wetlands goes beyond a typical instrument of international law: it embodies a movement with its very dedicated followers in government agencies, the scientific community, international organizations, indigenous people, national and international NGOs, community-based groups, and even private sector executives! It is in this constituency that rest the vitality and effectiveness of the Convention on Wetlands, a very special feature that needs to be cherished and strengthened, while also respecting at the same time the rules of the game of any intergovernmental treaty.
One hundred and twenty-three member countries, 1044 sites on the List of Wetlands of International Importance covering nearly 800,000 square kilometres of prime wetland areas, a good number of countries with national wetland policies or action plans in place, a significant array of technical and policy instruments developed within the Conventions framework and formally adopted by its Conference of the Parties. This is the reality of the Ramsar Convention today. An encouraging reality.
Yet we cannot relax. Many Ramsar sites are under threat and a considerable number of them do not have effective management plans in place. Some national wetland policies exist only on paper, and the Ramsar Administrative Authority in some countries is too weak to influence the policy and action of other government agencies that de facto have the upper hand on the wetland resources in the country.
To address these weaknesses, we need to bring into the Ramsar movement more people and other sectors of society. We need to do more to help people to discover the true value of wetlands and their functions, so that we can count upon more defenders when it comes to electing governments and influencing decisions both on natural resources management and on the investments (or non-investments) that are required to protect them and use them sustainably and equitably.
To this end, we are proposing to focus World Wetlands Day 2001 on the slogan Wetlands world A world to discover!. I encourage you to launch on 2 February 2001 a national campaign to help people to further discover the values and functions of your wetlands, their wetlands, our wetlands. This will be the most effective way to reinforce the wetland movement in each country and around the world. By doing so, you will be making your contribution, a significant one, to maintaining the ecological health of our Planet, our common and, so far, only home.

Ten Firms Make Cut, Move to Next Round in Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library Renovation Search
Published on Friday, October 18, 2013 - 3:15pm
Today, ten firms were selected to move to the next round in the search for an architect team to help design the next generation Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 901 G St. NW.
The firms (listed below) are invited to respond to a request for technical proposal which goal is to determine how firms would approach designing the library. Proposals are due Nov. 18. A pre-submittal conference will take place at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on Oct. 28 at 10:30 a.m. No firms are expected to submit design concepts during this round. Instead, proposals will be judged by a team of library, urban planning, architecture and preservation experts that will look at the firms'
- Senior personnel assigned to the project and their experience on designing and completing major libraries and obtaining appropriate approvals from D.C. and federal review agencies
- Approach to managing the project, developing the project budget, managing the costs and schedule while ensuring the final design meets budget requirements, and addressing key challenges that are inherent in the project
- Ability to meet or exceed the District's Certified Business Enterprise participation rate of 35 percent.
Three firms will be selected in mid-December to move to the third and final round and be requested to submit design concepts and present the concepts to the review panel and public next spring. The selection process for an architect team began in August with 26 firms responding to a request for qualifications that identified firms that had experience working on similar projects.
No decisions have been made on the type or the extent of the renovations or additions to the library. The selected firm will aid library staff and consultants in exploring the options outlined in an assessment done by the Urban Land Institute in fall 2011. These options include renovating the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library as a stand-alone library or as a mixed-use with additional floors.
In other news, the DC Public Library today launched an online crowdsourcing platform, dclibrary.ideascale.com, to seek input from the public on what they would like to see in their newly renovated Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The MLK Jr. Library Idea Community allows the public to provide input on what spaces and services should look like for teens, children, adults, people with disabilities, D.C. history, meetings and more.
The public will also have a chance to weigh in on whether the renovated library should have a cafe or the types of activities that should happen in the lobby and entrance hall areas or outside under the canopy. Anyone can view public comments, but a person must register in order to post comments. The idea community will be available for public input throughout the design process with new topics added. This summer, library staff had the opportunity to provide input.
The crowdsourcing platform is just one of many ways the library will seek public input. Focus groups, surveys, and community meetings and presentations are also planned. The input will be shared with firms responding to request for proposal, the finalists, and the selected firm.

This tasted like the full fat, fully indulgent and delicious Creme brûlées that I have had at expensive restaurants, if not better. The custard is incredibly creamy. It has become a weekly treat as part of my healthier lifestyle.
Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée
Randy Mayor; Mary Catherine Muir
Crème brûlée, French for "burned cream," is a custard whose brown sugar topping is melted and crystallized under a broiler. Melting the brown sugar topping in the microwave instead and pouring it over each chilled dessert keeps the custard cold so it can be served in the classic tradition. Vanilla beans, found in the spice section in the supermarket, are worth the extra expense. Nonfat dry milk gives the custard a thick consistency.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 custard)

Cute but not great The coverup was very large on my 5'1", 115lbs frame. The fabric was also very thin and had a nylon feel. Its the kind of material that if you sat on the side of the pool with it, it would snag on the concrete or brick tile. I had to return it. It just didn't work for me. The little drawstring lobster charms are cute though. May 20, 2014

A twisted look at Disney characters. I didn't show my daughter these but they are interesting.
Dear Disney,
Your water wings are very cute. However you labeled them for "3+ year olds". These just fit my arms and I'm 32 and I have been working out (and yes I inflated them).
What kind of 'roided up kids are these for?!
Back to the store with you.
Conversation before we went to the store:
"Daddy, I don't want water wings!"
"We are going to look. They will help you swim by yourself."
"But I don't want them!"
"Do you know what they are?"
"No, but I don't want them."
Ah, 4 year old logic. Got to love it.
One of my daughter's favourite things to do is to play "sleep time". She has been putting her toys (and various other objects) to sleep for a long time now. So it shouldn't have surprised me when I walked into our bedroom tonight to find her doll sleeping in our bed. Still I was creeped out to find this little doll head peeking out at me from the dark. Go to your own bed baby Cinderella!
My daughter got this 'souvenir' at Disney on Ice today with her mother. It spins around and lights up. I am anticipating someone will loose an eye over it. That someone will likely be me. We will have then paid $24 (!) for me to loose an eye. Sacrifices as a parent I guess?
(While everyone was playing in my daughters room and my wife was brushing various princesses hair)
If you could chose to sleep with a Princess who would you choose?
What? She's the worst.
Nope. Jasmin. Then Belle, then Arial, then Tiana, Cinderella, Snow White (although she looks like a little kid) and then Aurora.
(We both agreed Sleeping Beauty is the weirdest looking)
Gangster tatts. She didn't want it on her neck for some reason?
My daughter has a Cinderella/Snow White book that is a short version of the actual stories. Both stories really have really lazy endings as you can see. Why is everyone yelling "hooray"? Also, doesn't a huge royal wedding take more than one day to prepare? Lazy writers.
Not sure why Snow White was so worried about the queen. She had a whole animal army. I mean she was in the forest the one day and she had animals cleaning a house.
Watching Snow White with my daughter. And not the stupid live action movie or TV show. The original animated version. Some things should be left alone.
There are still times I think my daughter has a touch of OCD
Princesses in a bag. Not sure why I find this creepy. Maybe it's the dead eyes.
How come Goofy can talk, walk on two legs and wear pants while Pluto is regular dog? Is Pluto really the only normal non-alien in the Mickey-Mouse world?
Dear Disney channel:
there is no need to play a "everybody wake up" song at 7am. It's just taunting me and every other parent that has been up since 6 am. Jerks.

Every bride wants to be special. Well, I say the place to start is with this unique engagement ring from David Yurman. I have never seen anything quite like the setting. The open style looks glamorous and fresh. Plus it gives the piece movement, the way the diamond and platinum threads entwine the over 2-carat centerstone. The pattern also conjures up all kinds of bridal metaphors, mainly how a couple will weave their lives together in marriage.
$65,100; at David Yurman Boutiques

UNDATED (WSAU) Tuesday was National Voter Registration Day, and both state-and-local officials used the occasion to get new voters to start thinking about signing up for November. In Madison state Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy predicted that over 3-million Wisconsinites would cast ballots in the presidential contest. The numbers fell just short of 3-million in 2008.
In Neenah, City Clerk Patty Sturn issued a plea for interested voters to register as soon as possible. She told WLUK T-V in Green Bay that her office wants to avoid a log-jam, which could occur if people wait until later in October to register. Sturn said voters could sign up at the polls on Election Day – but with a turnout of up to 80-percent expected, she said they'd probably have to wait in long lines. She said voters can register on-line, by mail, or in person at local clerk's offices.
Registrations by mail must be postmarked by October 17th – and those who wish to vote early with absentee ballots have until the Friday before the election to do so.
First Lady Michelle Obama plans to talk about voter registration when she speaks at Lawrence University in Appleton on Friday.

With their fifth straight win, an 8-7 squeaker over the Cubs last night, the Phils are finally back over .500 for the first time since topping the Pirates on Opening Day.
It sure was ugly, though.
The Phils were in control most of the way, taking a 5-2 lead into top of the eighth where a huge throwing error by Chicago pitcher Blake Parker helped them score three unearned runs and seemingly break the game open. Turned out there was some drama left. Halladay allowed his second home run of the game in the bottom of the eighth, cutting the lead to 8-3. Any hope that Jake Diekman was going to lead the charge that saved the bullpen was at least temporarily dashed in the bottom of the ninth. After a fantastic debut two games earlier, Diekman got two outs in the frame and was charged with four runs. Papelbon had to bail him out, getting the last out of the game on a ground ball to third with the tying run on base.
If the Diekman-as-Savior period was brief, so also was the march upwards from worst bullpen in baseball. After allowing four earned runs in an inning last night, the team's bullpen ERA is up to 5.36 for the year, which is again the worst in either league.
The Phillies are 20-19 on the year after beating the Chicago Cubs 8-7 last night. The Phils sweep the two-game set and have won five games in a row for the first time this season.
Halladay got the start for the Phillies and went eight innings, allowing three runs on seven hits. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and two home runs. He came into the start having allowed two home runs over his last 20 starts (142 2/3 innings) going back to 2011.
He started the bottom of the first with a 1-0 lead. David DeJesus led off with a double and Tony Campana bunted him to third with the first out. Starlin Castro was next and flew to left, deep enough for DeJesus to tag and score, tying the game at 1-1. Brayn LaHair hit a ball to left, where Pierre made a nice diving catch to end the inning.
Opponents are hitting .290 against Halladay in the first in this year and .227 in all other innings.
The Phillies led 4-1 when Halladay started the second. Ian Stewart singled with one out, but Halladay got Wellington Castillo to ground into a double-play behind him.
DeJesus singled with two down in the third, but was caught trying to steal second with Halladay throwing to Rollins to record the out.
Halladay set the Cubs down in order in the fourth.
Up 5-1, he set them down in order again in the fifth.
Darwin Barney led off the bottom of the sixth with a single. Lefty Adrian Cardenas, former first round pick of the Phillies, hit for the pitcher Casey Coleman and flew to center for the first out. DeJesus struck out for the second and Campana went down trying to bunt for a single for the third.
Castro homered to right-center on a 1-1 pitch to start the seventh, cutting the Phillies lead to 5-2. Halladay got LaHair on a fly ball to left for the first out before Alfonso Soriano singled to right. Stewart hit into a double-play to end the frame.
Halladay started the eighth with an 8-2 lead. Wellington Castillo led off and homered to left-center, making it 8-3. Halladay got the next three.
Halladay had only thrown 82 pitches through seven innings, which surely had a lot to do with the decision to have him pitch the eighth with a six-run lead. That and the fact that the bullpen is really, really hide-your-eyes bad.
Diekman started the ninth with the Phils still up five. He walked Campana on four pitches and Campana took second without a throw. Castro flew to left for the first out. Righty Jeff Baker hit for the lefty LaHair and walked, putting runners on first and second. Righty Joe Mather hit for the pitcher Michael Bowden and lined softly to Galvis for the second out. Diekman hit Stewart to load the bases for Castillo and Castillo cleared them with a double down the third base line and into the left field corner, cutting the lead to 8-6. Papelbon came in to pitch to the righty Barney and Barney singled into center, scoring Castillo to make it 8-7. Reed Johnson grounded to Wigginton at third to end the game.
Diekman faces six batters, walking two (including the leadoff man), hitting one and giving up a double while getting two outs.
Diekman threw 26 pitches in the game and Papelbon six. Nobody in the pen has thrown more than one day in a row.
The Phillies lineup against righty Chris Volstad went (1) Rollins (2) Pierre (3) Victorino (4) Pence (5) Ruiz (6) Wigginton (7) Luna (8) Galvis. Polanco on the bench. Luna at first after the pinch-hit grand slam the night before, accentuating the fact that the Phillies do not have a good option at first against right-handed pitching with Howard, Thome and Nix down.
Rollins led off the game with a single and moved up to second when Pierre grounded out softly for the first out. A Victorino walk put men on first and second, but Pence struck out for the second. Ruiz was next, though, and he singled into center, scoring Rollins to put the Phils up 1-0 with men on first and second. Victorino and Ruiz pulled off a double-steal before Wigginton walked to load the bases. Luna fouled out to the catcher to leave them loaded.
The game was tied at 1-1 when the Phils hit in the second. Galvis grounded out to the pitcher for the first out, but Halladay singled, Rollins walked and Pierre singled behind him, loading the bases with one down for Victorino. Victorino grounded softly to first for the second out. Everyone moved up a base with Halladay scoring to make it 2-1 with men on second and third. Pence singled into center, scoring both runners and the Phils led 4-1. Ruiz followed that with a single that put men on first and second. Wigginton struck out swinging to leave both runners stranded.
Casey Coleman set the Phils down in order in the third and again in the fourth.
Pence doubled off of Coleman to start the fifth and took third on a wild pitch. Ruiz singled in to right, scoring Pence and the Phils led 5-1. Wigginton and Luna both went down before Galvis moved Ruiz up to third with a single. Halladay grounded to the pitcher to leave runners at the corners.
Pierre bunted for a single with one out in the sixth and Victorino walked behind him. Pence flew to left and Ruiz grounded to short to turn the Phils away.
Luna reached on an infield single off of righty Blake Parker with one out in the seventh. Galvis hit into a double-play behind him.
The lead had been cut to 5-2 when the Phils hit in the eighth. Halladay led off with a single and moved to second when Rollins walked behind him. The runners moved up to second and third on a passed ball before Pierre grounded to second for the first out with both runners holding. Victorino struck out looking for the second out. Pence was next and dribbled a ball out in front of the plate, which should have ended the inning, but Parker bobbled then threw the ball away for an error, allowing both runners to score and extend the Phillie lead to 7-2. Righty Michael Bowden came in to pitch to Ruiz and Ruiz doubled to right, scoring Pence to make it 8-2. Wigginton struck out to leave Victorino at second.
The Phils shouldn't have scored any runs at all in the frame. With runners on second and third with nobody out, Pierre grounds out and Victorino strikes out before Pence reaches on the two-run error and Ruiz follows with a double.
It was 8-3 when the Phils hit in the ninth. Bowden got Luna and Galvis for the first two outs before Fontenot hit for Halladay and singled to left. Rollins popped to first to leave him stranded.
Fontenot now 2-for-3 as a pinch-hitter on the year. The only Phillie with more pinch-hits on the season is Mayberry. Mayberry is 3-for-14 (.214) with a double and seven strikeouts as a pinch-hitter.
Rollins was 1-for-4 in the game, but walked twice and scored three runs. 2-for-8 with three walks in the series. 232/290/290 on the year.
Pierre was 2-for-5 in the game and 4-for-8 with a double in the series. 343/388/380 on the season. He is 14th in on-base percentage among the 105 NL players with 100 or more play appearances.
Victorino 0-for-3 with an RBI and two walks. 1-for-8 with two walks in the series. 244/301/394 for the year.
Pence 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Reached on a key dribbler in the eighth. 2-for-9 with a walk and a double in the series. 253/301/487 on the season.
Wigginton 0-for-4 with a walk and three strikeouts. Mercifully got an out on the last batter of the game for Papelbon. 1-for-5 with two walks in the set. 3-for-his-last-30 with three singles and 13 strikeouts. 258/348/351. Huge opportunity for him to play regularly with Howard, Thome and Nix out and Mayberry awful, but he is not hitting.
Luna 1-for-5 with four men left on base. 2-for-6 with the Phillies for the year.
Galvis was 1-for-5 in the game and 3-for-9 with two doubles in the set. 230/270/367 for the year.
Hamels (5-1, 2.28) faces righty Daniel Bard (3-4, 4.30) tonight as the Phils play the Red Sox in Philadelphia. Hamels hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last five starts and the Phillies have won all five of those games. He's allowed just one home run in 35 innings in those outings.

Big bag of little eggplants
- waver Apr 3, 2007 08:56 PM
I couldn't resist, but now I have a lot of little eggplants. The writing on the bag says Indian, but they might be Italian... Anyway, we have been craving Indian for a while, so what should I do with these?? Any thoughts?
re: purple goddess
"wonderful little 'cases' for stuffing" - exactly what I was about to say...
I have no idea how one would go about making this, but when I was younger I had a Greek nanny who was a wonderful cook. She would make an eggplant jam out of the small little round eggplants, and she would stuff the eggplants with almonds. Yum...
If you're looking for something savoury, and again, I have no idea how one would go about making this, but before my Greek nanny I had an Indian nanny who would make "achar" out of the eggplants. It's a super spicy Indian pickle - you can usually find commercially prepared "achar" made from mangoes and limes - but the eggplant ones are even better since eggplants are just like a sponge and absorb flavours so nicely.
Otherwise, perhaps you can steam them, core them, stuff a garlic clove into each one, and then simmer in a tomatoey concoction to make a "ragout" of sorts. You can actually even make a curry this way by adding curry spices to the tomatoey concoction...
Bake them in the oven whole, and when they pop, pour some soy sauce and sriracha over them, yum. Or, peel them, and cube or slice. In a skillet, heat some vegetable oil with curry powder until fragrant, and saute the eggplant until tender. Salt and pepper to taste, Serve with rice or pasta. Or, if you're doing Indian, paneer, which is Indian fresh cheese.
Not at all Indian, but I love them very thinly sliced, roasted (be careful that they don't burn) and then marinated in olive oil and some spices. Yum! Makes an excellent addition to an antipasti, to sandwiches, etc.
I am currently eating a fairly pureed mix of eggplant and potato from the steam table at my local South Indian market. It is a great combo- especially with some tamarind and/or cilantro chutneys drizzled over. Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetatian Cooking lists the spicing as black mustard seed, ground coriander, and cumin seeds, and a touch of tumeric and cayenne.
re: QueenB
Purple, sightly bigger than an egg, but same shape.
Many years ago I lived in Bethlehem, Isreal. My neighbor made stuffed eggplant. She used something like an apple corer to make way for the stuffing. The filling was made with finely cubed beef, or lamb, raw rice, finely chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and a little cinnamon. The stuffed eggplants were placed in a large pot, covered with a liquid of reconstituted dried yogurt, covered, and simmered until done. A plate was placed on top of the eggplants in the pot, to keep them in place.
I still miss the great food I enjoyed when I lived there.
One of my favourite eggplant dishes, which is especially yummy with the tiny ones is Imam bayildi...Turkish stuffed eggplants. Peel stripes off the eggplant and slice them to form a pocket, then quickly brown them in some oil. Put them in a baking dish, stuff the pocket with a stuffing made of olive oil, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper, pour some olive oil over them and carefully put a little bit of salted water into the baking dish (maybe 1/2"). Cover and bake them at 375°F for 30 mins...from time to time, spoon some of the liquid over the eggplants.
Alternatively, you can cut the eggplant in half, pile the stuffing on top of them, pour oil over it and add the salted water and make them on top of the stove, spooning them with the liquid frequently. Serve cold or hot, with rice or fresh bread. The liquid is especially tasty. Now I'm hungry :D

It's week two of my half-marathon training! It's not too late to join me! My 12-week intermediate half-marathon regimen looks like this:
TUESDAY: 45-minute tempo run (10-15 minutes easy pace, then 15-20 minutes 5k race pace, then 10 minute easy pace)
MONDAY: Cross Training (Zumba)
WEDNESDAY: Day off!
THURSDAY: 6-mile run and total-body strength training
FRIDAY: Stretching!
SATURDAY: 9-mile long run at a slow and steady pace
SUNDAY: Soccer speed work (there's plenty of sprinting in the 90-minutes we play) and more stretching!
So far, so good! After week 1 I'm enjoying my training and have already learned so much about my running style. For example, I'm content to run shorter distances on my own. I enjoy the quiet, moving at my own pace and having the freedom to change up my route if the mood strikes. But 8+ miles and I NEED a buddy! Could chatting with a pal on a long run actually ease the ouch? New research cited in the February issue of SELF showed that camaraderie may ramp up the production of the body's natural pain-masking chemicals. I buy it! Long runs feel so much easier to me when I'm tackling those miles with a friend or a running group. Now I'm staring at this week's schedule and it calls for a long 9-mile run. I know that's one run that I don't want to go it alone. I'm hoping I can arrange a babysitter and my husband and I can tackle the mileage together. Are you a solo runner, or do you prefer to go the distance with a friend? Happy Running:)
TUESDAY: 45-minute tempo run (10-15 minutes easy pace, then 15-20 minutes 5k race pace, then 10 minute easy pace)

He's not exactly the most beloved singer on earth these days, but Justin Bieber still has some famous friends standing by his side.
Following a pair of racial slur videos that surfaced this week, the "As Long As You Love Me" singer has been slammed with criticism from all sides.
Bringing an end to his 22-year reign hosting "The Tonight Show," Jay Leno was on the receiving end of some seriously amazing wishes from many of his celebrity pals.
"SexyBack" singer Justin Timberlake tweeted, "Much love to the one and only @jayleno. Thank you for all the laughs and great times! Also... Can I have a car? No? Ok, cool."
Stepping it up for Halloween this year, hosts of "The View" took dress up to whole new levels. Jenny McCarthy showed up as Miley Cyrus' tongue and Barbara Walters went as Katy Perry from her "Roar" video.
It was another crucial evening for both President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney as they faced off against each other in the second Presidential Debate.
And while both sides made their respective points effectively, some of our favorite celebrities had their own ideas about who came out on top while others seemed more interested in the comedic value of the whole ordeal.
Opening her home to a furry friend in need, Whoopi Goldberg has adopted a Russian blue cat who was taken into animal control care after being thrown from a moving car on New York City's Verrazano Bridge months ago.
Whoopi Goldberg wasn't just high on excitement the night that she won an Oscar in 1991, she was high on pot, too!
In an old video which surfaced on the Internet today (March 24), the co-host of "The View" admitted she was stoned while accepting the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "Ghost".
He's one of the most outspoken personalities on television, and Bill O'Reilly caused quite a commotion on "The View" this morning (October 14).
The conservative "O'Reilly Factor" host went toe-to-toe with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar over a very touchy issue.
On a sad note, Whoopi Goldberg, who is known for her peppy spirit and enjoyable disposition, has announced that her mother passed away last month.
During her time on "The View" today, the "Sister Act" actress shared, "My mom passed on the 29th of August," while chatting with Barbara Walters.

NASA Langley Research Center and the Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CCAM) announced at the Paris Air Show that NASA will join CCAM as a government member. The move will create opportunities for joint participation in research and development of new surface-engineering technologies and manufacturing systems. NASA's expertise, combined with the manufacturing capabilities of CCAM members, will speed the process of bringing novel technologies to market sooner, the agency said.
Aerion has started its next round of high-speed test flights, in conjunction with NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, to validate the laminar-flow wing for its supersonic business jet. These tests, using a test article mounted under the centerline of NASA's F-15B research aircraft and flown at speeds up to Mach 2.0, are intended to measure the real-world robustness of supersonic natural laminar flow. Information from these tests will help define manufacturing standards for surface quality and assembly tolerances of the proposed SSBJ's laminar-flow wing.
The passing of Neil Armstrong comes as a shock. Surely the first human to set foot on another celestial body would never succumb to something as predictable and inevitable as mortality? But succumb he did, last Saturday (August 25), from complications following cardiovascular procedures.
Aerion announced a collaborative effort yesterday with NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, to mature the space agency's new supersonic inlet (Supin) computer code. The software has been developed to perform aerodynamic design and analysis on engine inlets for future high-speed aircraft, such as Aerion's proposed supersonic business jet (SSBJ).
"Tranquility Base here, the Enterprise has landed."
While it might not have been as dramatic as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touching down on the moon, for New York City, April 27 was known as the day the city got a space shuttle.
Why some engines fail in flight is the subject of a new NASA research program. "There is a question regarding the effect that moisture has on newer-technology engines.
After a span of 30 years the space shuttle program ended on July 21 when Atlantis landed safely at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The landing represented the conclusion of the 135th flight of the reusable space plane, and for me, the end of the only manned space program I had ever really known.
A NASA Earth science field experiment is being conducted from a temporary base at SheltAir's FBO facility at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood (Fla.) International Airport. The FBO is assisting the Grip (for genesis and rapid intensification processes) experiment during the peak of South Florida's hurricane season.

Deborah Hersman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board since June 2004, was nominated by President Obama last month to become the 12th chairman of the board. If confirmed, she will take over the position from vice chair Mark Rosenker, who has been serving as acting chairman since last August, when his two-year term as chairman expired.

Choosing somewhere to go for Valentine's Day is always tricky, especially when you leave it until a couple of weeks beforehand (uber last-minute according to restaurant land). So after about three unsuccessful attempts at booking a nice Spanish restaurant (my man and I are learning Spanish and thought it would be nice to practise our pronunciation) because they were all booked out, I found Salvador and Amanda on Toptable. It looked funky and contemporary in Toptable's photo and was in a good location (Soho), so I booked away.
When we arrived, the restaurant looked more like a huge, dark cave full of eclectic olde-worlde Spanish paraphernalia than somewhere worthy of being frequented for an extra special meal, but luckily I had my hot date to look at (awww), so the decor didn't matter so much. Plus there were all the other blinged up couples trying to woo each other with too much wine and bad red roses to stare at.
Food-wise, the dishes were pretty standard Spanish fare, but all served with a smile by friendly, on-the-ball waitresses.
Dessert was a surprise. The 'rice pudding with chocolate' listed on the menu, which I was expecting to be like a rice pudding, turned out to be a chocolate fondant with a gooey centre. Not sure how Spanish it is, but it was much better than I expected! Loved the awesome 80s whipped cream plate decorations too.
Two out of five.
Salvador and Amanda, 8 Great Newport St, London, WC2H 7JA, 020 7240 155.
