Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing 136 km east of Dzheskasgan.
It concerned the mission to MIR'92. After a two day solo flight Soyuz TM-14 docked on March 19, 1992 to the complex Soyuz TM-13-Kvant1-MIR-Kristall-Kvant2. Within the scope of the mission MIR'92 the tenth resident crew performed scientific works in which Klaus-Dietrich Flade was particulary involved. He undertook 14 German experiments as a part of the preparation for the future space station projects and Columbus in the areas of Medicine, biology, physics and material research. Thus thermo-dynamic qualities of different substances were investigated in the physical test programme TES. Medical investigations related changes in the genome (chromosome analysis), the sleep-wake cycle and the assessment of physical and mental performance, the study of the function of vestibular and orientation ability, furthermore the recording of eye movements during changes of the position, the performance of short term memory, the distribution of body fluids in the muscles and vessels (use of the negative pressure-suit TSCHIBIS) and the hormonal regulation of the human organism (blood and saliva samples). Material Scientific tests consisted mainly in the breeding of pure crystals.
The main objective of the mission was the planned replacement of the resident crew. Aleksandr Kaleri and Aleksandr Viktorenko formed the eleventh resident crew. It was the first space flight since the end of the USSR and Russia's first space flight. It was also the first joint space flight of Russia and Germany.
The unmanned resupply vessel Progress M-12 docked with MIR on April, 21, 1992 at 23:21:59 UTC, undocked on June 27, 1992 at 21:34:44 UTC and was destroyed in reentry on June 28, 1992 at 00:02:51 UTC. Progress M-12 had been docked to the forward docking port and was often used to correct the orbit of the complex.
Progress M-13 docked with MIR on July 04, 1992 at 16:55:13 UTC, undocked on July 24, 1992 at 04:14:00 UTC and was destroyed in reentry on July 24, 1992 at 08:03:35 UTC. It was docked to MIR for only a few weeks, since on July 26, 1992 the Soyuz TM-15 was to be launched with a replacement crew and would need to use the same docking port.
Aleksandr Kaleri and Aleksandr Viktorenko carried out the only EVA during this mission on July 08, 1992 (2h 03m). There was an exit inspection to assess the space station MIR especially gyrodyne orientation flywheels. The work to be done by the cosmonauts during that EVA was crucial for the operational existence of the MIR complex. 4 of the 6 gyrodynes in Kvant2 are out of order and so the attitude control of the complex is working unsatisfactorily.
The eleventh resident crew of the MIR space station undertook experiments on materials research, space technology, astrophysics and earth observation during its nearly five-month mission. They bred super pure gallium arsenide crystals with the new system GRANAT on board of the crystal module, observed the exact composition of the cabin air in a long-time experiment, and studied the influence of movements of the astronauts to microgravity. Furthermore, they carried out astronomical observations in the ultraviolet and X-ray range. As part of the research program EARTH recordings of North Africa, North and South America, the Pacific and Australia were taken with the camera KFA 1000. With the topographical three-channel camera KATE 140 they also made photographic images of parts of Russia, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Related to geological activity in the south of Ukraine the multichannel spectrometer MKS 2M (19 channels in the wavelength range between 415 nm and 1030 nm) was used. Further research concerned the crystal growth, the erosion of different materials by atomic oxygen, the injury of living cells by cosmic rays, the crystallization of biological macromolecules and the influence of artificial gravity on the growth of plants. With the multispectral camera MKF 6MA high-resolution images of the surface of the earth were made. Thanks to these recordings statements about environmental pollution, the suspected deposits of certain minerals or crop forecasts are possible.
Soyuz TM-15 arrived on July 29, 1992 the MIR space station. Anatoli Soloviyov and Sergei Avdeyev relieved the MIR-11 crew. Together with them Michel Tognini, French Research Cosmonaut, reached the MIR.
Klaus-Dietrich Flade returned to Earth on March 25, 1992 at 08:52 UTC with Soyuz TM-13 spacecraft.

Raising a Baby in an NYC Apartment...
Annals of Advertising
Saw this yesterday from the East Side Drive. What? I've done that and couldn't disagree more (but it DID get my attention)... What do you think?

33 Comments
So, the take away is...? Put the baby in min-storage for only $29 a month? It is attention grabbing, but then it turns into a bit of a head-scratcher.
Really? It's telling you to put more belongings in storage so you have room for a baby.
You might have done it, and successfully, but NY is notorious for high rent and small apartments. It's kind of a cliche by now, but it applies more often than not.
Pi hits the nail on the head. We rented a storage unit in the suburbs where it was affordable which gave us a lot more room to live in our small condo.
I think this is an effective ad.
There are families all over this country, and the world for that matter, that raise kids in small homes. Not everyone needs a six bedroom McMansion to have a family.
The case for renting a storage unit: why are you paying outrageous rent on something you aren't using every day?
I grew up in a NYC apartment, many people did and still do, it is not that big a deal. The statement is just an ad that is designed to grab attention. It works and the company is getting more (free?) advertising via this post.
@God is in the Details - Because there are things like seasonal clothing and Christmas trees.
@lifewithlumpy - No, not everyone does... but there's also nothing wrong with people assessing for themselves that they can't raise a family in a 600 square foot apartment. No one should feel frustrated by their home. Some people have pets and some people need dedicated office space. Everyone has different needs. Renting a storage unit for some of your stuff can help alleviate the pressure of having everyone under a very small roof.
Thank you, lifewithlumpy! Couldn't agree more! My daughter and our two cats love our cozy NYC home.
Glaring grammar mistake; "an" NYC apartment?! Also, if you're strong enough, you can raise a baby. I suppose, if you're rich enough, you can REAR a baby . . .til age 18? I've never been to NYC, but I'd guess it wouldn't be that big if there hadn't been a lot of baby 'raising' going on.
@rmbnn - It's proper to use "an" before letters that sound like they begin with a vowel. So either "a NYC" or "an NYC" is proper because it sounds like "an enwhycee".
Actually, "an" NYC apartment is fine because of the "en" sound you make when you say "NYC."
I have no idea what you're saying otherwise, though. A lot of people move to and leave NY as adults. And a lot of people who raise kids in NY are pretty well off, considering the cost of living there.
My nephew and his parents have lived in a 650 sq ft converted studio apartment since shortly after he was born (they were camping in a 250 sq ft place while they were upgrading the studio for the first four months)....It works well for them and has enabled them to let my nephew do a lot of things that they wouldn't be able to do if they lived outside the city and/or had to pay for a larger space.
@rmbnn, several users have already pointed out you are wrong about the "an vs a" issue, but you are also being ridiculously old-fashioned about "rear vs raise". Raising children is perfectly acceptable American English.
Also, you've invoked Skitt's Law by making your own grammar mistake. That semicolon doesn't belong in your first sentence.
@Pi, we stored our seasonal stuff off site and made anual trips to pick up the Christmas decorations from the storage locker.
We never owned an artificial tree because it wasted space 11 months out of the year, we went with live mulch-able trees.
I saw this ad and it grabbed my interest as well. The Manhattan Mini Storage ads are known for being a bit edgy.
That said, my husband and I have all intentions of living with a baby in our 550 square foot two bedroom. We have cats too. So I'm interested to see people's input.
Actually, it's grammatically correct. Yes, NYC starts with an "N", but the actual sound sounds more like "en" which starts with an "E". It's the same grammar rule used when you say "an hour" instead of "a hour".
I'm 100% confident it can be done successfully, but my initial point was people have different needs and just because one couple can raise a child in a small space, doesn't mean others can, or would want to, and that different do not mean superior or inferior choices. My take from this post was that Manhattan Storage was somehow in the wrong for suggesting that people might need more space, when I see it as a reality because people have different needs and wants.
Of course you can raise a family in an NYC (London or Paris) apartment. It helps if you're wealthy and/or have a holiday home, can afford private schools, nice holidays, etc, etc... Theoretically, I think storage units are a good idea. In practice, you tend to forget about what's in them.
We raised one child in the city and we really liked it but I was always bothered that our son would pace up and down our only hall in the place. When we found that the second child was coming we pulled the trigger and moved to an urban suburb (w/ alleys, sidewalks, small yards). Yesterday I came home to find our boy climbing a tree in our yard with no parental oversight, something we always felt we needed to do in the city. And he no longer paces and the whole block has become his playground.
The kids love it and that makes me very happy. We still live close enough to expose the kids to ethnic food, museums, public transit, and people of different races and colors.
I'm currently raising a baby in a Vancouver rental apartment. So far so good. Of course baby (Eleanor) doesn't know any different. Her backyard has several hundred beautiful (organic) city parks, beaches, forests, etc.
We decided from pregnancy to tell our relatives not to buy us any baby furniture or toys. That certainly helped. And I smile politely whenever someone says "you MUST buy a baby swing! I don't know what I would have done without one!"
@God is in the Details - We did the same thing. Our barely 1-1/2 bedroom rowhome in Philly wasn't going to cut it with the amount of "stuff" our baby was going to acquire. Even a simple stroller out of place would overwhelm the (small) space. Instead of waiting until he was school age, we bolted to the very nearby older 'burbs when he was born. He's only 14 months old now, but the non-confining space has already been worth it.
On a historical note, our block of 40 rowhomes once had about 50 kids, according to Neighbor who grew up there. Mind you, the homes are only 12'-13' wide and, per Neighbor: "the kids were stacked like cordwood!".
Of course parents can raise children in inner city apartments. It's not like they're being abusive. That said, let's not pretend it's the same as having your own private fenced in backyard where you can play without having to walk blocks, or take a subway, or plan for every weather contingency be carrying extra clothes.
City living is what it is, and I'm sure the parents are doing their best.
I can't believe I need to point this out, the reason rmbnn thought the "an" is wrong is because s/he was reading it as "an New York City."
Ok, (he says) "an" NYC apartment. It just still seems wrong; even when said silently.
Attention grabbing. Cliche. Born/raised/still living in new york and tons of friends live in big apartments and I grew up and live in an actual house so we all had room enough to grow. I also think storage units are stupid/waste of money. Even if it's to store "seasonal items and xmas trees"-- why do you have so much of either[ & a large, fake tree] that it can't just fit in your home? You most definitely have too much stuff which, is your prerogative but ridiculous nonetheless.
We lived with our first child for 3 years in a 750 sq foot (barely) condo in the downtown core of Toronto. By the time our 2nd child arrived we needed to move but it wasn't so much to do with the space/size of the condo, as it was the location and the severe lack of parks, green space and family friendly activities that surrounded us.
My grandparents raised 2 kids in a similar sized apt in Europe and they never moved their entire lives and somehow it all turned out fine.
Almost everyone I know living in New York has seasonal storage of some type regardless of their stage in life. Either they rent it or borrow space from someone (parent/friend) in the suburbs or at "home." Often it is an off-season wardrobe or baby things in between actual babies.
Left NYC w/ two kids. Storage would not have solved our problems. We could not watch tv after they went to bed or make any noise. We had 1 son in our bedroom and if I so much as rolled over he would wake up. Hell I might move back when they are older and can appreciate other aspects of the city more (and our HHI goes up!). But it was pretty hellacious if you ask me.
I agree with the idea on the sign, but to me it's not an advertisement for renting storage lockers. It's an advertisement for moving to a town where your kids will have daily access to land/nature, with wandering unsupervised in the woods, hearing the creek burble by, hanging peanut-buttered pine cones for the birds, getting to know the rhythm of crocus-daffodil-redbud-lilac-hydrangea-tomato-chrysanthemum. And yes, that kind of childhood is still attainable in some places.
Here in the city I live in, there's a big so-called "smart" movement. Let me just say I've lived in this city nearly all my life and I love it. But I do have some problems with "Smart Growth." Many of its advocates, first of all, are house-owning, car-owning people who preach the carless and micro-living gospel. The hypocrisy can be sooo tiresome. (And yeah? obvious)
The particular space I happen to live in is pretty small, and while I like not having a lot of .... stuff and space to maintain, I want a larger space to be able to ENTERtain better. No doubt about that.
There was an interesting editorial in our local examiner today about how our city really is into sending kids to school at a super early age, like 3! I laughed and thought, yeah, because many kids live in such tiny spaces. Might as well get out of the house. Kind of a joke, but kind of true.
This article raises lots of interesting questions about living and space. The huge majority of Americans have zero idea how to live like this. There's no doubt it can be done, and to some extent it should be done. But there's no modulation in the thinking about it, or I should say there's not much. We do NOT and should not have to go micro. That's for England and Japan, I'm sorry to say. And not even England lives like that. In fact, they can tell us how to use space so much better than we are now. There's even a development in the works (and yeah, developers RULE here) of micro apartments with NO WINDOWS. Why oh why do we want to encourage this barbarism?
The mistake the "Smart Growth" (trademark sign) movement makes is in NOT planning for families but going density full bore and without really thinking. Cities that do not plan for growth by families are cities that will die a consumerist death.
I was raised in NYC, and we are raising our daughter here. For the first 7 years of her life, we lived in a 400 square foot, 1BR apartment. We have since moved into a spacious 950 square foot 2BR. I certainly don't relate to the "oak in a thimble" concept. That sounds stifling. I experience NY as an enriching and expanding environment for kids.
This is nothing but promoting excess. I have never had a storage unit and never will. If you don't use it lose it. Such a waste of money. Americans live with way to much stuff. Be simple.

if only people were more concerned about their souls. what a wonderful world we would live in. thanks to louis armstrong. great show, whitley.
Congratulations on Hunter...I know it will be great.
A good rule of thumb... 'don't let the sneaks make you like them'.
I've lived by this code all my life and though at times I can be a SOB, I never forget this rule and use it to re-balance and learn from the experience.
Just imagine, a whole planet, light years away, projecting it's conscious plasma based beings/souls to another world to filter/process their disharmonies, only returning home when they are filtered and pure again.
Planetary antibody system/immune response? Another civilisation's logical progression?
Fascinating to consider, especially when, to a reasonable eye, it appears likely to be true.!
When I'm doing the laundrette trip later, I'll be full of ideas as I watch my clothes tumble around and around, getting cleaner with every rotation.
The driers sheets will look like wings of release as I sit enjoying the driers, later...
A few comments.…..
GREAT NEWS Anne and Whitley…..
Syfy Orders Scripted Alien Series 'Hunters' from 'Walking Dead's' Gale Anne Hurd
Whitley and Greg Little, I love this interview, especially the subscriber interview. Back in the 1970's I discovered a book in my library written by Edgar Cayce's secretary Gladys Davis. 'My Years with Edgar Cayce: The Personal Story of Gladys Davis Turner.' It was a turbulent time in my life and this book brought much needed clarity and understanding to my life purpose. I am still a member of the A.R.E. today.
October is an odd month, or so I have noticed in my lifetime. It feels like this October could be the time or month for discovery…..I can hardly wait for the interview on Dreamland with Greg Little and Andrew Collins.
So, is this what the giants would have looked like compared to the average man?
I am in the process of finishing up Andrew Collins' book about Gobekli Tepi, so Greg's new information is very intriguing to me. I am listening to this interview with Greg Little, and now I just feel strange.
Without revealing too much about where this is, there are some very ancient 'Native American' graves right here in my average suburban neighborhood. These graves are hidden in plain sight, less than a mile away from my home, and I walk past and commune with them frequently. (Trust me on this---where they are located is safe, undisturbed, except for the laughter of children very close by. Very few people know of this location) One of the oldest human remains (11,000 years old) found here in the USA were also found nearby.
I have some very vivid 'past life' memories that I began recalling almost 30 years ago. One of these lives involve a personality that worked closely with Imhotep to research and recreate the 'technology' of the Great Pyramid. Oddly enough, another life that I remember is as someone assisting with the design and building of Serpent Mound in Ohio. Of course, I have always known that those two lives are closely connected. I also remember another life in ancient America of wandering among native peoples and teaching them skills and philosophies to aid in their survival and spiritual growth.
This time of year, I enjoy the very early morning hours when I step outside to retrieve my daily newspaper. It is still dark outside, and my little joy is looking up while standing in my driveway and just observing Sirius and Orion and saying a simple prayer of thanks.
Wonderful interviews with Greg Little!
While we may be "...wandering in eternal darkness", some of us are seeing a light in the distance that calls and guides us. 'Path of Souls' is now on my reading list!
There truly is no show as important as Dreamland. Whitley and his great guests explore in rich detail the great questions of this mysterious world we live in. Please support them.
YES!! I do support them Mr Morrison!!
I really do...
I simply have to ask though, are you related to the owners of the UK based 'supermarket' chain from which I have purchased so many wonderful and reasonably priced products including and not inclusive of the Morrisons' value range of consumer based purchasable consumables?
I was looking at Orion yesterday Mr Cosmic, (I naturally assume that you are a guy, 6' 2'', beard, ginger hair, pointy ears like Mr Spock, one leg, six fingers, big feet, six fingers, big hands, six fingers, etc) as I cycled to work in the dark.
You point out something that seems very likely, (which is a 'known' character trait of 'men' with ginger beards, one leg, big feet/foot, big hands and six fingers), that some souls reincarnate at similar fulcrum points in Human planetary experience to assist the survivors of the cyclic disaters that Earth suffers on its orbit through denser points of this arm of the milky way galaxy (G)(reversed?!!).
Washington TC is a fine city and I personally hail all ginger bearded, one legged, six fingered men in that town to prepare for the hope and expect the (submerged) Scharnhorst.
Von Hausenberg,
I am insulted. I do NOT have a big foot. I'll excuse the remark, assuming that you have a bias of some sort, due to no fault of your own, and that horn growing out of the middle of your forehead.
Regarding souls that reincarnate "...at similar fulcrum points in Human planetary experience...": All I can say is that the family that plays together, stays together.
Thank you Whitley and Anne, and best wishes to you both. I encourage people to support this website. It provides essential alternate perspective.
Mr. Gates,
Laugh, and "Have joy." It may prevent you from going insane. Truly, and from the heart, all the best to you on your chosen path.
I might not agree with everything posted here by subscribers but I am sure they do not agree with some of the things I post either. Nevertheless, I do respect each of you and your opinions. (At least most of the time).
"For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
Wonderful !!

Rompers & museums
This past weekend Paul and I had our first houseguest and to show him a bit more of the state, we took a trip to the Henry Ford Museum. I had never been and basically pictured a hangar filled with vintage Model T's, but was pleasantly surprised when I discovered the museum of historic Americana was housed in a gorgeous estate. Chandeliers lined the intricately carved entryways and large picture windows framed the lush green gardens outside. I spent a lot of the time photographing the original hardwood floors and black & white tiled foyers, but looked up just in time to get some detailed shots of immaculate GTO engines and polished presidential cars.
When I know the day will consist of a lot of sightseeing, I like to pick an outfit that is comfortable and for me, a romper is my first pick. Anything that has an attached top and bottom and cuts my dressing time in half pretty much wins in the clothing selection battle. I picked up this simple black one a few weeks ago from H&M, threw on a denim shirt and some t-strap flats (both from Urban Outfitters), and finished it with a leopard belt from Target. Check out some more black rompers here, it's my color pick for a great day to night outfit.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the work surface. Unfold 1 sheet of the pastry and place it on the sugar. Roll it to an even thickness. Sprinkle it with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Starting at one short side of the rectangle, roll the pastry toward the center of the sheet, stopping at the middle. Repeat with the opposite short end, so the rolls meet. Trim the ends with a knife. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with 1 more tablespoon of the sugar.
Bake until golden and puffed, 20 to 23 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.

Moving to the Technogym-equipped fitness centre, urban lounge music encourages guests to work out while enjoying the blue sky and Bangkok skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. Stepping outside, the pool deck becomes another space for enjoyment and exploration. Guests can chill out with creative snacks and cocktails served at the Plunge bar or refresh their body in the salt-water pool overlooking Silom with hydro-massage jet area leaving their skin smooth and fresh.
Within a short walking distance of Le Méridien Bangkok is Lumpini Park, where early risers can join the locals in jogging a few laps along trails that cut through the park's greenery and wind past ponds.

They had also planned on removing "The Herman Cain Show", another syndicated news and discussion program, from their weekday programming schedule by January 6th and planned on using its former time period (9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.) for broadcasting segments for the first two hours of "The Laura Ingraham Show" (the station would still broadcast weekend editions of "The Herman Cain Show" on Saturdays between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.).

Analysis and comment on all matters pertaining to the supply chain and distribution of electronics components from Richard Wilson, editor of Electronics Weekly.
So what's the scale of the 'green' business opportunity?
If like me, you were ever-tempted to question the electronics industry's apparent fixation with sustainable energy applications. Then some new figures will explain all.
Thanks to Ian Bell at National Instruments for drawing to my attention some interesting figures on the sustainable energy business in the Financial Times.
The FT reported on research by HSBC which indicates that low-carbon goods and services are generating more in revenues than the combined aerospace and defence sectors.
According to the HSBC's figures, listed companies in markets such as renewable-power generation, nuclear, energy management, water and waste companies had a combined global turnover of $534bn in 2008.
Over the same period the aerospace and defence sector was worth $530bn.
So there is little surprise that sales and marketing departments across the industry are feverishly searching for ways to address sustainable-energy technology markets. from wind and wave power generation to energy-efficient industrial products.
And if you add LED ligthing to the 'low-carbon business', then the scale of the opportunity for electronics sector increases even further.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is breaking ground for a new restaurant, located at 3699 N. Thanksgiving Way in Lehi.
The restaurant, to open in March, is just across from the new Adobe campus, which dominates the east side of Interstate 15 at the Thanksgiving Point exit.
The New Orleans-based Popeyes has 2,035 restaurants in the U.S. and 25 foreign countries, including a location at Hill Air Force Base south of Ogden that is open only to base personnel and a store at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
Last year, the Cajun fried chicken restaurant chain opened 140 restaurants.

Apparently Chad Simmons of Scout.com and I are on the same wave length.
The respected Southeast region recruiting analyst put up a report this morning on Calhoun wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers, a five-star prospect, AJC Super 11 selection and a University of Georgia commitment.
It just so happens that I am heading up to Calhoun this afternoon to talk to Rogers, quarterback Nash Nance (a Vanderbilt commitment) and coach Hal Lamb in a previously arranged meeting. My father lives in Calhoun — starred for the Yellow Jackets in the mid-1950s — so I'd planned for a while to get up there and meet in person this phenomenal football player.
Simmons didn't really steal my thunder, though. Rogers told him what Coach Lamb told me last week, that he remains "solid to Georgia" despite continued intense overtures from Tennessee, Florida and Southern Cal. Hopefully I'll be able to glean a few more insights from Da'Rick today.
If there are some specific questions you'd like me to ask Rogers, offer them up below. I probably won't post my report on Rogers until tomorrow morning, unless he reveals some riveting news.
Program note: Going forward, I'll be trying to catch up with all the state's five-star-rated prospects and AJC Super 11 players between now and national signing day in February. Last week I sat down with AJC Super 11 player and five-star prospect Garrison Smith of Douglass. I actually have a Part II of the interview with the future Georgia defensive tackle I plan on working in eventually.
Now on to some midweek links:

Well as usual everyone is just head over heels in love with all of the "5″ stars kids according to the "experts" at the rating services. Time will tell how they will pan out. I trust a Coach like Paul Johnson to go out and find "players" regardless of the # of stars.
Go to http://isportsweb.com for more Georgia Tech Football articles. Also go check the archives for a prior article on "5″ star recruiting titled; "How Could This Have Happened?"

When Chan Gailey's skill players are gone and PJ has to play with his #49 and #52 classes he will get another job. All you mites know that.
November 4th, 2009
12:49 pm
I do not know about the rest of the 5 star recruits but Lattimore is the real deal. I have watched him for the last 3 years at Byrnes HS and he would fit in as a great replacement for Dwyer. Unfortunately, he wants to go to a school where he will be the featured running back and get 20 touches or so per game, which we know he will not do at GT. He runs tough, can run inside and break tackles and also has the breakaway speed to take any carry for a TD.
November 4th, 2009
12:55 pm
Rogers would be great to keep, but unless Murray or Mettinburger can get him the ball and our def can stop give up 30+ points a game. It wont matter.
November 4th, 2009
12:56 pm
Thanks for the infor duber1958. I kknow lots of runningbacks want to be the "feature" back in an offense, but Dwyer, Anthony Allen, and Roddy Jones all get their touches and have healthy yards per gain averages. More importantly, it is hard to key on anyone back in the triple option, and that gives everyone a unique opportunity to shine at any time during a game. I've heard lots of discussion about Lattimore and the Seastrunk kid. Both have very impressive games and I hope they both go to a program that will help further their careers and educations.

You mean the guy that was 4 stars until he committed to UGA, and then was promptly "adjusted" to 5 stars?
November 4th, 2009

Ugh. You said "going forward." That's when you lost me. Can we now ban this overused cliche. Please! Thank you.
November 4th, 2009

Da'Rick will be the next Caleb King. Yay.
November 4th, 2009
4:07 pm
I have a question. Does the way that the dogs have been losing of late and the swirl of questions now surrounding the program effect his confidence in his commitment? I am sure a lot of people would like to know what goes through these players minds when they witness this and then other programs that are running on a CONSISTANT high like Floriduh come calling. The announcers made it a point to bring up AJ Bryant and Urban visiting him last minute to try to get him to change his mind. They held off from saying "I wonder if he regrets it now".
November 4th, 2009
4:27 pm
Chad Simmons ask DaRick is Calhoun going to finish the job this year. While you are there check out the new field at Phil Reeve, it is nice. To all the leg humpers, I do hope you guys keep thinking that CPJ can't recurit because it is going to be sweet watching him run CMR out of town and his sucessor out of town to. You guys are looooooosers with no class. THWG "Ain't Life Grand" wsp
November 4th, 2009
5:10 pm
I've been out here watching the Yellow Jackets practice the last couple of hours. Calhoun Jackets, that is. Da'Rick looks good in practice. Clearly a different level of athlete. . . . There are some other good ones here: J.T. Palmer, a junior who plays the wideout opposite Da'Rick, is a good player that is getting some looks. Their running back, Dustin Christian, is smallish, but looks quick and steady. Of course, quarterback Nash Nance has already committed to Vandy. A lot of solid looking linemen. There's a reason they're ranked No. 1 in Class AA I guess. . . .
I'm impressed with coach Hal Lamb's practice routine. Very tightly run and little wasted time. . . . Like I said, more coming tomorrow.
November 4th, 2009
5:17 pm
Hey Larry, I resent your comment. DaRick might be the next Jasper Sanks, but probably the next Sterling Boyd.
November 4th, 2009
5:27 pm
Warning Mr. Rogers – You will never play in the Georgia Dome during your time at Georgia, better think twice and go somewhere else sir. A note on Christian Green, look for him to go to Florida as they are at the top-top of his list.
November 4th, 2009
5:41 pm
Chip, don't tell everyone Calhoun has players they say we are just a 2 man team.
November 4th, 2009
5:50 pm
Will the not so good Grey or the unproven Murry try to throw passes to this kid?
November 4th, 2009
5:53 pm
So he can catch so could C. Johnson at TECH. C. Johnson is making money off building Crappers in Africa. Do you think this kid is that smart or that good?
November 4th, 2009
7:13 pm
Christian Green,
Son if you want to develop as a player and have a shot at winning a national title and getting to the next level, I warn you and your parents, DON'T COME TO UGA. After they run you on your first bubble screen and you lose 5 yards because the cornerback saw it coming a mile away, their going to say your not as good as they thought because you didn't run over 5 guys or jump over another like Hershel and Knowshon. UGA needs superman to win big ballgames, they are not equipped at coaching kids up. Don't say you weren't warned!!!
November 4th, 2009
8:22 pm
Green is going to Florida, even if he doesn't there incoming class with still 3 months until signing day is stacked.
November 5th, 2009
8:37 am
Translation, the puppets pretending to be objective staff writers at Scout.com got their marching orders from Richt and the Georgia staff after the debacle in Jacksonville. Go out and produce articles on any players they may have had their eyes open to the fiasco that is currently Georgia football. No worries Chad Simmons, Georgia will continue to have a top 5 recruiting class, you guys will see to it, and the Georgia program will continue to waller in mediocrity. Just one question, what happens now that the Vols have passed you as the #2 team in the SEC East?
November 5th, 2009
9:30 am
So ARt,
CPJ cannot recruit and therefore will not win after Gailey's recruits are gone. Then when he is not winning he will be hired by another school and leave GT. Do I understand what you are saying correctly?
November 5th, 2009
2:16 pm
Dyer leads the field of RB, regardless of Rivals etc ranking.
November 10th, 2009
3:23 pm
Chatter, thats all that we hear is stupid non-sense chatter comin from losers like yourself. you'll see, UGA will dominate once again and all you haters will just have to keep hating!!!!
November 10th, 2009
3:28 pm
Carty Seay,
Richt dont have a DADDY who was in the NFL and has to help his son out ALL THE TIME. Just you wait n see, eventually your LOUD MOUTHED LOSER COACH will talk so much crap that even his daddy cant cash the check to cover it. LOSER!

- Vertical frown lines, or eleven between your eyebrows.
- Crow's feet around your eyes.
- Large wrinkles or furrows in your forehead.
- As a preventative measure to keep wrinkles from forming.
Botox® is an FDA-approved medication made from botulinum toxin which works to relax the muscles in the face that causes skin creases and wrinkles. Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by many factors, including sun exposure, loss of elasticity and excessive muscle activity. Hyperfunctional facial lines, those caused by skin pleating when the underlying muscles contract, are bothersome because they may be misinterpreted as anger, fatigue or aging. Botox injections are useful in minimizing or eliminating those hyperfunctional lines, particularly those located between the eyes, on the forehead and the crow's feet.
Botox® is delivered as an injection and should only be administered by trained physicians. Common areas for Botox® injections include horizontal forehead furrows, vertical lines between the eyebrows, and "crow's feet" around the eyes. Botox® is temporary, but when administered correctly, can give excellent results that can last for up to six months. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin and can give dramatic results by itself or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures.
Contrary to popular belief, Botox does not freeze your face, or prevent you from being able to express emotion. When administered correctly, it works on very specific muscle groups to prevent them from making creases in the skin when they contract. As a result, your smile, frown, squint, or grimace will still be intact, except that it will be less wrinkled and more youthful. Another important concept to understand is that Botox is actually most effective when used before these wrinkles become permanent creases or static (present even when you are not expressing emotion). Therefore, treatments should not only be considered therapeutic, but also preventative, especially in younger patients.
General Procedure
Botox® is applied by your physician using a small syringe with a fine needle. Prior to your treatment a map is made of your face to define the muscles that cause the wrinkles to be treated. The area is then anesthetized with ice or an anesthetic cream. Typically a small amount (1-2 cc™s) of Botox® is injected into the area of the wrinkle. Botox® works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The effects are not immediate, and results will not be fully appreciated for 3 to 5 days. The effects of a Botox® treatment will last approximately three to six months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.
Recovery Process
Patients generally return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. There may be a tiny amount of bleeding from the injection site or redness which usually subsides quickly. Bruising is rare, but if it occurs will subside in a few days. Patients should avoid engaging in heavy physical exercise, applying cosmetics, or laying down flat for a minimum of 4 hours after the injections. It is also advisable to avoid rubbing or massaging the injected area for at least 24 hours. The full effects will not be apparent for 3 to 5 days. Dr. Truong likes to see his patients for a two week follow up to observe results or administer touch-ups if necessary

Health care
South Africa's HIV rate stabilising11 December 2012 South Africa's HIV prevalence rate has stabilised over the past six years, according to the government's latest survey of pregnant women, while the rate of new infections has continued to drop, indicating that the country's prevention efforts are beginning to take effect. According to the 2011 National Antenatal Sentinel HIV Prevalence Survey, released on Monday by Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, 29.5% of pregnant women attending state clinics in 2011 were HIV-positive. The survey estimated that about 5.6-million people living in South Africa were HIV-positive in 2011.
Rate of new infections downWhile the figure of 29.5% has remained constant over the last six years - it stood at 29.4% in 2007 - the rate of new infections in the country, represented by the prevalence rate among 15- to 19-year-olds, continued to drop, from 14% in 2010 to 12.7% in 2011. The HIV prevalence rate among 15- to 24-year-olds also dropped, from 21.8% in 2010 to 20.5% in 2011. However, HIV prevalence among women aged between 30 and 34 remained the highest, increasing from 41.5% in 2009 to 42.2% in 2011. Among 35- to 39-year-olds, the prevalence rate increased from 35.4% in 2009 to 39.4% in 2011. Explaining the higher prevalence among older women, Motsoaledi said individuals in these age groups had become infected earlier in their lives, and were now moving into a higher age group, pushing up the prevalence rates. "The good news is that we have broken down the upward movement in the 15-19 years group, meaning that prevention is starting to work," Motsoaledi said.
Variations among provincesAmong the provinces, KwaZulu-Natal, the province with the highest HIV prevalence, recorded a notable decrease between 2010 and 2011, from 39.5% to 37.4%. Gauteng also recorded a decrease over the same period, from 30.4% to 28.7%. However, Mpumalanga (from 35.1% to 36.7%), the Free State (from 30.6% to 32.5%), North West (from 29.6% to 30.2%), and Limpopo (from 21.4% to 22.1%) all showed increases. The Eastern Cape had a prevalence rate of 29.3% in 2011, while the Northern Cape (17%) and Western Cape (18.2%) were the only provinces with rates below 20%. Motsoaledi said the increase in the Gert Sibande District in Mpumalanga was not surprising but very worrying, as 40% of the country's energy supply came from there. "[Gert Sibande] needs a massive circumcision campaign, which they have not launched," he said, adding that the situation needed to be looked into. Motsoaledi attributed the decline in KwaZulu-Natal to the hard work of the provincial branch of the National Aids Council, and the success of the government's HIV Counselling and Testing and circumcision campaigns.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres
Whenever the Padres face the Dodgers it's always nice to win. No matter what time of the year it is. One team could be way out of contention and the other could be making a push, but one thing is constant: it is always nice to beat the Dodgers. Yesterday the two teams faced each other and the Padres won. Even though it is spring training it felt good to win. What made it even sweeter was the fact that the Padres beat up on Zack Greinke to do it. Remember that this was one of the Dodgers biggest pickups over the offseason. That's saying a lot since they spent so much money on so many players. But as far as impact goes Greinke is supposed to be one of their biggest. Again, I know it is only spring, but to beat up on one of their top acquisitions is awesome!

As the November election edges closer a group comes forward pushing Rockford School District 205's referendum. The community organization Better Schools Bright Future wants to see Rockford school buildings improved. It is calling for people to vote yes on a $139-million bond referendum.
"I see great work being done by teachers in buildings that are really deteriorating. I just don't think that is the best environment for learning or for motivation or morale or growth in education," says Dr. Bill Gorski
SwedishAmerican Health System CEO and president is co-chair of the referendum support group. He points out the referendum doesn't raise taxes. It replaces bonds being retired with new borrowing. Dr. Gorski's co-chair Rockford College's Dr. Robert Head points out why the effort is needed.
"Times have changed since Socrates stood outside and lectured for hours. Education is interactive. Education is technology savvy so it is important for us to create learning environments that are 21st century oriented to allow our students to become as effective in learning and our teachers to be effective in teaching as they can be," says Dr. Head.
All Rockford District 205 Schools are included in the administration's 10 year facilities plan. That's what voters will be asked to pay for with the referendum. It may be a tough sell for some people like Jerry Palmer.
"I will vote against it. We need to retire the bond and lower the burden on taxpayers," says Palmer.
Others were concerned that there is no option to build new schools. Dr. Gorski worries a "no" vote could ultimately cost Rockford residents more.
"Companies that may want to relocate into Rockford who look at that crumbling infrastructure of our schools and say I don't find you, Rockford an attractive community to locate to. When that happens that increases the tax load for everyone if the tax base deteriorates," says Dr. Gorski.
The question will be up to the voters to decide November 6th.

This was really good. Like the other reviewers, I made some substitutions based on what I had on hand. I used baby bella mushrooms and smoked paprika. Both my BF and I really enjoyed it and when I went to go eat the leftovers the next day I realized he stole them and took them for lunch that day. Will definitely have to make again.
Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff

MrsDES85 Posted: 05/06/13
This was great! My family loved it! I, too, used regular onion instead of leeks and Bella mushrooms instead of shiitake. It turned out delicious! Adding to our monthly rotation.
sgordon Posted: 04/06/13
Very good. I used sweet paprika and a bit of cayenne pepper as I had no hot paprika. I also used thinly sliced onions cut in half as I do not like leeks. Beef was tender and dish was rich tasting. I would certainly make this again.
daneanp Posted: 05/01/13
Very tasty and quick version of stroganoff. I used flank steak as that is what I had on hand, and chopped yellow onion instead of leek. I also used regular sliced mushrooms and paprika, as I didn't have the specialty items called for in the recipe. I did add 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard in with the paprika. Still very good. Will add to our regular rotation.

This was fantastic - and so easy to make! I too used the sliced baby bellas and regular onions instead of the leeks. This was so flavorful and quick, on my keeper list!

All weekend, I was reading John Cabbage, the garbageman poet. He made headlines during the Great Depression for writing verse while steering a garbage scow for the NYC Department of Sanitation. I found a copy of his 1938 collection, Time & Tides.
He was a member of the Raven Poetry Circle, and wore a white-brimmed hat and smiled for the camera in their photos. In a poem, he once compared his work to "He shampoos and manicures the City's streets / For he is the Barber of the Streets."
Below, I've copied down lines from "My Children," a short poem about economic inequality and memory. He ends by writing a spooky few lines about us, his future readers…
In New York City, the Occupy Wall Street library workers are building the first Occupy Wall Street Poetry Anthology. They published with a simple motto: "Poetry illuminates the soul of Occupy Wall Street."
Last year, I wrote an essay for The Believer about the Raven Poetry Circle, a scrappy group of poets that sold poems in Washington Square Park during the Great Depression. Just like the OWS library, they self-published The Raven Anthology every month. In times of economic downturn, more writers should self publish community writing projects like these—they produce vital work during these tough times.
That's a 23-second trip through the Occupy Wall Street library in New York City, a bustling collection of writers, readers and activists.
The OWS librarians just reported that a number of extra copies of their homemade Occupy Wall Street Poetry Anthology have gone missing. Yesterday, I talked about the OWS library and the Great Depression on New Hampshire Public Radio. Follow this link to listen.

Capitalizing on the Demographic Transition: Tackling Noncommunicable Diseases in South Asia
AbstractIncreasing life expectancy in South Asia is resulting in a demographic transition that can, under the right circumstances, yield dividends through more favorable dependency ratios for a time. With aging, the disease burden shifts toward noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)1 which can threaten healthy aging. However, securing the gains expected from the demographic dividend—where developing countries' working and nondependent population increases and per capita income thus rises— is both achievable and affordable through efficiently tacking NCDs with prevention and control efforts.

I think the ten mans are a great idea. As for the elitists and lore freaks crying about it - get a grip!! Those of us who will do the ten mans are not detracting from your game one bit - and as for those who are concerned about "who will bother to do the 25 mans" there are plenty of us who don't enjoy those and wouldn't go with you anyway.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Annie - Back Together
One of my favorites, the Norwegian gum chewing heartbreaker Annie Strand, is back for an EP coming later this year titled A&R with the help of Richard X (the "R" in A&R as well as a major force behind a lot of my favorite synth/electro/pop tracks… M.I.A.'s recently Soundboard highlighted 10 Dollar for example). In case you couldn't tell, I'll just tell you now that I'm super excited.
I've heard 2 of her new tracks so far and while "Tube Stops and Lonely Hearts" is catchy, the vaguely Eastern influenced and very retro synthesized Back Together is definitely the winner of the two. But who knows, maybe Ralph Macchio, another upcoming track from the EP will be a big leg-sweeper. Leg-sweeping… it's one of my super cool dance moves.
Anyway, I hope you all had a good week! See you next Sunday, and stay rad!

The internet is like Delaware. Mostly, you can shop tax free if you buy online. That means that large sites like Amazon can undercut prices even more than a brick and mortar store, which led to the demise of chains such as Borders Books and many mom and pop locations.
Now, it looks like those tax free days are coming to an end for online and that's good news and bad news for both buyers and sellers.
According to the Wall Street Journal, there's been a massive shift in support for online taxation and even Amazon is ready to admit defeat. The reason for the change of heart is Amazon's desire to speed up shipping to its customers. In order to do that, they have to build more distribution centers in places like New Jersey and Florida. Since the facilities will bring jobs into the state, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has agreed to allow Amazon to postpone online sales tax collection for a year. WSJ says that Amazon made similar deals with three other states, but Florida told them it wouldn't fly.
And as Amazon goes, so goes the rest of the online world. That's good news for states who are poised to pull in an additional $23 billion a year in online sales tax. For consumers, this means a probable hike in online prices to cover the cost of tax collection, plus the applicable taxes on every sale. The big loser, sadly, will be the small online store owners who will have to implement a potentially sticky tax plan. As an ebay seller, I have to wonder how this issue will effect those sales, too.
Brick and mortar owners could be the big winners in the online tax war. The levy of an online tax will help keep prices more competitive and might drive customers back to local stores where they don't have to wait for delivery.
Will an online sales tax take a big bite out of online shopping? Not likely. We've become too accustomed to the ease and the 24/7 availability. The tax could lower the average total sale if consumers choose to buy one less item in order to keep their final total within budget. Best estimate? We'll see those stats in under two years.
How do you feel about the online sales tax? A good thing, a bad thing, or something we'll just have to get use to?

The worst recession of modern times may be over, but the changes it is leaving in its wake will persist. For surviving semiconductor and systems companies, a new top priority has emerged – controlling and reducing both design costs (implementation and verification) and chip costs (such as die size and packaging). The challenge is particularly acute at advanced process nodes, where system-on-chip (SoC) development costs threaten to top $100 million. My forecast is that cost management will play a key role in the electronics industry in 2010, and that the EDA industry will need to help customers get development costs under control.
It's kind of a good news/bad news situation for the EDA industry. The bad news is that customers will continue to carefully watch spending on everything, including EDA tools. The good news is that the EDA industry can greatly reduce design costs and chip costs, and will obtain good value for its products if it provides the right capabilities.
Here's what customers will need to do to reduce costs – and how EDA can help:
Accurately predict costs up front
In September I wrote a blog posting about a panel discussion at which Ron Collett, CEO of Numetrics, talked about how SoC development costs are usually significantly underestimated. In many cases, this invalidates the business case for going with an SoC in the first place. Predicting costs early in the design is crucial, but difficult. Chip planning tools that can provide early cost estimates based on die size, power, and packaging, such as the Cadence InCyte Chip Estimator, will become increasingly valuable this year.
Reuse existing IP wherever possible
IP integration and verification in complex SoCs remains a tough challenge, especially for mixed-signal SoCs. While the EDA industry has focused on IP design, it's time to realize that integration is important as well, and that SoC integration requires a distinctive set of methodologies and tools. Meanwhile, forward-looking IP providers will supply IP that is easier to verify and integrate.
Move to higher levels of abstraction
By greatly increasing designer productivity and reducing resource requirements, moving to higher levels of abstraction will reduce SoC development costs. But a non-standard, high-level tool with no connection to implementation is of little value. In 2010 SystemC transaction-level modeling (TLM), combined with high-level synthesis, will come into broader use for IP creation, integration and verification.
Use verification effectively and efficiently
In these times, no one can afford expensive mistakes – but most companies can't afford a massive and lengthy verification effort, either. Any approach that can find bugs quickly, resolve them, and reach coverage goals will be welcome in 2010. Metric-driven verification with functional coverage will find more adherents, the use of formal verification will increase, and static checks available in tools like the Cadence Encounter Conformal products will help avoid some long simulation runs. More attention will be paid to mixed-signal SoC verification and to verification of low-power ICs.
Reduce software development costs
Analysts say that software is the biggest development cost at advanced process nodes (see my previous blog on this topic). In 2010 the EDA industry will become more involved with this challenge through technologies such as virtual platforms, hardware/software co-verification, and emulation. Metric-driven verification techniques will be brought into the software world through tools such as Cadence Incisive Software Extensions.
There's an old adage – "fast, good, cheap -- pick any two." In 2010, the EDA industry will need to focus on helping customers optimize time-to-market, quality, and cost without compromises. In so doing, we will be seen as a strategic asset rather than an added cost burden.

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Attack Symptoms: What To Do in an Emergency
Put Time on Your Side
Acting quickly in response to heart attack symptoms can save lives. If given within an hour of the first heart attack symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack. Waiting longer than 1-2 hours for treatment can increase damage to the heart and reduce the chances of survival. About half the people who die from heart attacks do so within the first hour after heart attack symptoms begin.
What To Do Before Paramedics Arrive
If you see someone who appears to be having a heart attack, call 911 right away. Then, follow these steps:
- Try to keep the person calm, and have them sit or lie down.
- If the person is not allergic to aspirin, have them chew and swallow a baby aspirin (It works faster when chewed and not swallowed whole).
- If the person stops breathing, you or someone else who is qualified should perform CPR immediately. If you don't know CPR, the 911 operator can assist you until the EMS personnel arrive.
Be Prepared
Nobody plans on having a heart attack. It is best to be prepared, just in case. Here are some steps you can take before heart attack symptoms occur:
- Memorize the list of heart attack symptoms and warning signs; remember that you need to call 911 within 5 minutes of when heart attack symptoms begin.
- Talk to family and friends about the warning signs and the importance of calling 911 immediately.
- Know your heart disease risk factors and do what you can to reduce them.
- Create a "heart attack survival plan" that includes information about medicines you are taking, allergies, your doctor's number, and people to contact in case you go to the hospital. Keep this information in your wallet.
- Arrange in advance to have someone care for dependents in the event of an emergency.
