In December 2011, while seeking the Republican nomination for President, Newt Gingrich declared: "By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American." He was met by a mixture of laughter and applause. He said that if the base could amass 13,000 American residents, it could apply for statehood. He had chosen his audience well. He spoke to a large audience at a Holiday Inn Express in Florida, where thousands lost their jobs when the space shuttle was withdrawn from service.
Gingrich was widely denigrated. He was labeled Newt Skywalker. Mitt Romney, the leading contender for the Republican nomination, said Gingrich's was "a big idea but a bad idea." Fellow failed candidate Rick Santorum, who is now inextricably associated with anal sex, said that anyone who speaks of "brand new, very expensive schemes to spend more money" was "not being realistic." John McCain, who unsuccessfully contested the 2008 election, said, "I think we ought to send Newt Gingrich to the moon and Mitt Romney to the White House." Jon Stewart said, "Did he start with a Death Star and get kind of reigned in?" Slate magazine lambasted Gingrich's "wasteful, scientifically unsound plan." It was said that while Gingrich wished to reduce the number of marijuana smokers, they must have constituted his key audience. Gingrich had told reporters that Ron Paul would never be the Republican nominee because he "avoids reality."
Gingrich was not entirely without support. Chuck Norris liked the idea. That internationally-respected journal, the Denver Post, ran a guest commentary entitled: "Newt Gingrich's moon base is not a loony idea." The terribly right wing British newspaper, the Daily Telegraph, said Gingrich's plan was "an inspired idea that would reverse America's enfeeblement." A 67 year-old retired shuttle worker who was present for Gingrich's speech said, "Probably the best speech I've heard in this political season so far. Visionary."
Gingrich's idea, however, was not new. Three-star General Arthur G. Trudeau led the 7th Infantry Division during the Battle of Pork Chop Hill during the Korean War. In March, 1959, he wrote: "A lunar outpost … is of critical importance to the U.S. Army of the future."
Trudeau was instructing the Army's chief of ordnance to formulate a proposal for a "manned lunar outpost" to "protect potential United States interests on the moon." If the United States established a presence on the moon before any other nation, "the prestige and psychological advantage to the nation will be invaluable."
The study, Project Horizon, planned to establish a moonbase by 1966. The time was less than a year since the Soviets had astounded the United States and the rest of the Western world by launching the Sputnik satellite. The United States was behind in the Space Race. A 118-page monograph produced by the Army in June, 1959, said, "To be second to the Soviet Union in establishing an outpost on the moon would be disastrous to our nation's prestige and in turn to our democratic philosophy." The Soviet Union had already proclaimed that it would get to the moon by 1967. There was some urgency involved.
The United States planned a moonbase which could accommodate between 10 and 20 people and allow for further exploration of the moon and the rest of space and "military operations on the moon." The Army believed there were no known technical barriers to the establishment of a moonbase and that Project Horizon "should be a special project having authority and priority similar to the Manhattan Project in World War II." The nation that invented the atomic bomb could surely put a few soldiers onto the moon.
Construction materials would be transported by 40 launches of the multi-stage Saturn II rocket, which was then in development. It was envisaged that orbiting space stations would be used as waypoints.
The would be two variants of a lunar landing vehicle. The first, for direct trips from the earth to the moon, would carry almost 6,000 pounds, while the second, which would be refueled in low-earth orbit, would carry almost 50,000 pounds. 490,000 pounds of cargo and 266,000 pounds of supplies were thought necessary for a moonbase.
Scientists suggested that natural caves be sealed with pressure bags to create habitable spaces on the moon. Caves would also provide protection from meteorites and temperature extremes. Drawings in the Army study depicted a buried cylindrical structure. Power could be generated by solar or nuclear means.
Supporters of Project Horizon held that the ultimate goal should be the deployment of weapon systems and sensors. Now, intercontinental ballistic missiles can reach any target within half an hour, and satellites provide detection capabilities 24 hours a day. Any enemy – undoubtedly guys rushin' around with snow on their boots – would have the greatest difficulty in reaching the moon, and a U.S. military presence could neutralize any forces which might land. The situation would, of course, be reversed "if hostile forces were permitted to arrive first." The United States could, it was said, establish "an operations lunar outpost by late 1966" if "initial manned landings" occurred in the spring of 1965. The cost would have been $6 billion. Any moonbase would have been protected by low-yield nuclear weapons and landmines. The landmines would release steel balls on command, and not by pressure.
In January, 1958, one star General Homer A. Boushey delivered a speech to the Aero Club of Washington, D.C. It was reported by U.S. News & World Report under the title of: "Who Controls the Moon Controls the Earth." He said, "The moon provides a retaliation base of unequaled advantage." He said that the Soviets would have to launch an attack on the moon two-and-a-half days before attacking the United States. Speaking to the House Armed Services Committee early in March, 1958, three star General Donald L. Putt said that missiles could be launched from deep shafts on the moon.
Many "Systems Requirement" studies were carried out, demonstrating that many people were involved with the endeavor. These studies cannot now be found, nor can memos, letters and other documents associated with them. It is possible copies may lie in neglected government archives or in the garage of a retired Air Force officer who illegally took a copy home.
The most probable explanation for the paucity of these studies is that they fell victim to the reforms of Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara. His minions applied systems analysis to weapons systems, and a great number of the Air Force's more chimerical wishes were canceled. McNamara became better known for his involvement with the Vietnam War, where he gave his name to the McNamara Line. Officially known as the Strong Point Obstacle System, it was a network of obstacles and acoustic and motion sensors to hinder and monitor movement from the Demilitarized Zone to South Vietnam's northernmost province of Quang Tri. Starting from his appointment in 1961, however, McNamara put paid to a number of dubious and costly programs, of which a military moonbase was surely one.
There is, at least, information about one study into the feasibility of a moonbase, SR-183, in the form of comprehensive notes taken by Edwin P. Hartman and stored at the National Archives regional office for southern California at Laguna Niguel, to the south of Los Angeles. Beginning in the early 1950s, Hartman headed the Western Support Office of the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, which was later absorbed by NASA when it was created in 1958. He was the representative of NACA and then NASA in southern California.
By the early 1960s, NASA sent representatives to the factories that were constructing the Saturn and Apollo space vehicles. Hartman would visit aerospace companies, be briefed on their work, and then report to his superiors. His observations were meticulous, and even more valuable in view of the fact that so many corporate records were never preserved. He spoke not only of ongoing projects, but the personalities of those involved and the financial situations and organizational and other problems of the companies involved.
Toward the end of March 1959, Hartman attended a number of briefings at the Ballistic Missile Division in Los Angeles. These related to work on SR-183 by industry teams. Hartman said there were four teams: Republic Aviation and Systems Corp. of America; Boeing, Westinghouse, and Aerojet Nucleonics; North American Aviation's Missile Development Division and RCA; and Minneaopolis-Honeywell and United Aircraft Corp. Lockheed did not participate, despite having the most active space program in the shape of the WS-117L reconnaissance satellite program which was funded by the Air Force. Lockheed had bid for the studies but was not selected, possibly because it was believed to be overextended.
Hartman missed the final briefing by Minneaopolis-Honeywell and United Aircraft Corp. Information regarding SR-183 was leaked – or possibly officially given – to Aviation Week magazine, but this contained less detail than Hartman's observations. Hartman said, "The companies that undertake SR studies for the Air Force do so largely at their own expense." There would have been much of that – many people were involved. Hartman, however, pointed out that the U.S. government ended up indirectly footing the bill "as the income of most aircraft companies comes mainly from the government." The lack of documentation can be explained by the fact that very little was passed to government officials, and what there was would probably have been marked as industry proprietary.
Hartman said that the objective of SR-183 was "to determine a sound and economical approach for the establishment of a manned intelligence observatory on the Moon." The moon, he said, was "a favorite vantage point from which to observe enemy actions in space" and that its low gravity made it "a good platform for launching defensive vehicles."
The teams had had only six months in which to work and almost no experience of spaceflight, and so arrived at ideas which were unrealistic to the point of what Hartman termed "fanciful." Some of these ideas persist, and are no more realistic. Hartman wrote: "There is not much of a general nature to be said about the presentations except that they all seemed a little fantastic."
Per Hartman, "The Douglas presentation was the briefest, most pessimistic and most down to Earth – if a lunar venture may be so described." He was least impressed by the Boeing/Republic briefings and noted that "all of the presentations suffered greatly from a lack of basic knowledge about the subject discussed." He said some of the concepts described were "of little value" other than the intellectual stimulation they evoked. But he did believe the exercise was worthwhile because it made companies devote thought to space missions, and the realization that many tasks were better performed from orbit was very useful. Some of the ideas developed for Project Horizon were used in the Apollo project.
Boeing and some other contractors advocated the basing of nuclear missiles on the moon. Boeing saw humans landing on the moon in 1963 and construction of a moonbase beginning in the mid-1960s, with the base becoming operational by 1970. Any base could be excavated by bombardment from space, which Hartman described as "hard landing." 116 men would have reached the moon by 1973 at a cost of $30bn by the close of 1967. Apollo put 12 men onto the moon at a cost of around $24bn and never seriously contemplated a moonbase.
North American considered that a moonbase could be used to collect signals intelligence, surveil the earth, aid navigation, and relay communications. Identifying a Soviet ICBM silo with 90 percent certainty would require a three-foot resolution, which would have required a massive telescope. North American's team said that the design of a base was "wide open," which Hartman took to mean "no-one knows anything about it."
Like Boeing, the Douglas group believed that observation from the moon and "aid in facilitating retaliatory strikes" were the best reasons to construct a moonbase. Douglas also suggested that the moon could house an easily transported spinning liquid mercury mirror, which significantly reduces the cost of building a telescope, although leaves it unable to change its direction of observation. Douglas believed that the moon was better than satellites because it was more stable, a harder target to attack, possessed exploitable natural resources, and provided a more natural environment for humans due to gravity.
Douglas proposed a design for a moonbase which was later suggested for a space station, a scale model for which was acquired by the team which produced the Star Trek television series. It appeared as the K-7 space station in The Trouble with Tribbles, one of the most popular ever Trek episodes.
In contrast to their North American counterparts and more in tune with reality, the Douglas team decided that collecting signals intelligence from the viewpoint of the moon was "far-fetched." They said that observing ICBM launches from the moon was not possible, but a satellite could do so using an infrared telescope. This was the approach adopted by the Air Force a decade after, although TRW rather than Douglas was given the task.
The team from Republic was the only one to say that prestige was a major reason for the establishment of a moonbase. More concrete reasons were observation of the weather, enemy movements, and space vehicles; retaliatory bombardment; scientific use; and as a base for interplanetary missions. The Republic team noted that the moon was so distant from the earth that it was a less-than-ideal observation platform: the earth could be observed ten times better from orbit, if only the problems of stabilization and direction could be resolved, as Lockheed later did. In common with Douglas team, Republic concluded that collection of signals intelligence was impractical. Republic found the most promising reason for a moonbase to be retaliation.
Republic found that the plants best suited to cultivation on the moon were lettuce, soybeans, peanuts, and corn. Water might be extracted from rocks. Republic did say that it would be extremely challenging to develop a closed ecological system. Communications would be a problem as the line of sight was short, and signals would have to be relayed by satellite. The moon would only be able to view half the earth at a time, so satellites would still be required, making a moonbase less of a boon.
The contractors knew precious little of the problems of working on the surface of the moon, even when problems should have been obvious. They were concerned over the danger of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, but did not mention the cosmic rays which had been discovered at the beginning of the century. They believed lunar dust might be problematic due to static electricity and "dust traps," but were unaware that it was exceedingly abrasive. Proposals for underground bases proved wildly optimistic in view of the fact that Apollo astronauts had the hardest of times merely putting flagpoles into the ground.
Oxygen represents 60 percent of the mass that would have to be transported betwixt earth and moon, making it the most crucial candidate for lunar resource development. There is much water on the moon. As a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies said, if water and oxygen could be obtained locally, the operating costs of a moonbase would be significantly reduced. Valuable metals could also be obtained. Helium-3, an isotope which is rare on earth, may exist in significant quantities on the moon, and would be useful to nuclear fusion, if only someone could work out how to do it. As was stated by Neil Ruzic in his 1965 book, The Case for the Moon, a wide array of activities would benefit from the vacuum of the moon. Other uses for a moonbase which have become apparent since Project Horizon are hunting for exotic subatomic particles in space and watching for asteroids that might hit the earth.
A moonbase would have been powered by nuclear reactors. Personnel stationed on the moon would need to spend a minimum of 45 minutes a day in a spinning centrifugal chamber to counteract the effects of low gravity on muscle and bone. Pregnant women would not be able to stay on the moon.
By 1961, the Air Force had produced another study named Lunex – Lunar Expedition – which proposed a 20-person moonbase, which it said could be built for $8bn. In May, 1961, President Kennedy announced that civilians would be sent to the moon before the decade was out, and no base would be built.
A moonbase with nuclear weapons was obviated in 1959 when the US Navy launched the USS George Washington Polaris ballistic missile submarine. It was survivable, and while its missiles had less range than one launched from the moon, they could still reach any place on earth and were sufficiently accurate to nuke a city. The $64bn the Navy spent on 41 Polaris submarines and 5,000 missiles by 1967 provided a massive amount of retaliatory strength. The Air Force could have put no more than a handful of missiles on the moon.
There was no talk of lunar missile bases in the very busy deterrence theory community. By the end of the 1950s, the RAND Corporation was generating copious studies of deterrence theory. RAND's most esteemed thinkers, including Henry Kissenger, Bernard Brodie, Herman Kahn, and Albert Wohlstetter, were christened "the wizards of Armageddon" by Fred Kaplan. They wrote publicly of deterrence theory, and failed to mention lunar bases, for instance in Brodie's seminal work, Strategy in the Missile Age, which was published in 1959. Missiles launched from the moon would take three days to reach their destination. One spaceflight magazine said that attempting to control the earth from the moon was akin to trying to control Tibet from the peak of Mount Everest. The man in the moon was never going to be nuclear-armed.
A Manhattan Project-style effort could have worked if huge sums had been devoted to it, but there was diminishing political interest in a military moonbase as consternation over Sputnik abated, and the Vietnam War consumed any money which might have been employed. In 1967, the United States, Soviet Union, and United Kingdom signed the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. This forbade militarization of the moon, and is in effect to this day.
Army reports and the contractors from Republic stated that a moonbase would enhance the standing of the United States. After Gingrich's comment, this was echoed by the Bloomfield Report and Daily Telegraph. Standard & Poor's snatched away the AAA credit rating of the United States, whose deepest and lengthiest economic depression in 80 years began with the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The annual deficit is more than $1 trillion, 8.75 million jobs have been lost, and gasoline costs $4 a gallon. China is ascendant.
A moonbase would have the same effect on the United States as the transformation of astronaut Lee Majors into the Six Million Dollar Man on television in the 1970s: "We can rebuild him. We have the technology." As happened with Majors, a moonbase would make the United States "Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."
Cost and not technology is what prevents the construction of a moonbase. The Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a 2009 paper that a moonbase would cost $35bn to build and $7.35bn a year to run, excluding the costs of transportation. Transportation would be rather easier than first envisaged: Dr. John Hunter, once of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, showed that a super rail gun would reduce the cost of transportation to the moon to 10 percent of previous levels.
During the Apollo program, between 45 and 60 percent of Americans believed too much money was being spent on spaceflight, as was stated by a 2003 paper by the journal, Space Policy, and Apollo headed the list of program that Americans wished to see cut. But the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost between $3.2 and $4 trillion. The United States could get hold of some money by legalizing drugs.
There is more appetite for a moonbase now than there was for the Apollo program. In 1958, a year after the launch of Sputnik, 50 percent of the $1.3bn U.S. toy market was science fiction related. As Howard Schuman and Jacqueline Scott of the University of Michigan said, "[T]he events and changes that have maximum impact in terms of memorableness occur during a cohort's adolescence and young adulthood." These children are now voters. The same study asked people in 1985 what were the greatest events of the last 50 years, and space exploration came in third after the Second World War and the Vietnam War.
The idea of a moonbase is grandiose. But after spending his childhood reading Isaac Asimov novels and Missile & Rockets magazine, Newton Leroy Gingrich said, "Lincoln standing at Council Bluffs was grandiose. The Wright Brothers standing at Kitty Hawk were grandiose. John F. Kennedy was grandiose. I accept the charge that I am grandiose and that Americans are instinctively grandiose." While there is no need for nukes, a moonbase would be terrific for American prestige and beneficial to science, while costing a fraction as much as activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, which benefited neither of these things. It is time for just a little grandiosity.

I counted 15 people on the list for Aroldis Chapman press day. He has a noon press conference. ESPN, USA Today, Fox and other assorted outlets are scheduled to show. But from a Reds' standpoint, what happens with Jonny Gomes is bigger. The Reds desparately need a right-handed outfield bat. Gomes needs a job. So […]

The Reds still don't have a deal with outfielder Jonny Gomes. "Hopefully, we'll know by tomorrow," Walt Jocketty said. "I'd like to have it resolved before the (position) players report." The full squad reports Tuesday. Brandon Phillips showed up today to take some early batting practice. Notables who are not here yet: Scott Rolen, Joey […]

The Physics of Beer Bubbles
Zonk posted more than 7 years ago | from the researchers-put-in-a-lot-of-overtime-on-this-one dept.113
Roland Piquepaille writes "Yesterday, I told you about virtual beer. Today, we follow two North America researchers who are studying the physics of real beer bubbles. 'Singly scattered waves form the basis of many imaging techniques such as radar or seismic exploration.' But pouring beer in a mug involves multiply scattered acoustic waves. They are more complex to study, but they can be used to look at various phenomena, such as predicting volcanic eruptions or understanding the movement of particles in fluids like beer. They also could be used to monitor the structural health of bridges and buildings or the stability of food products over time. Read more for additional references and a photo showing how the researchers monitor beer bubbles."

This set of fossils is incomplete but includes the following items. The notes accompanying the specimens include diagrams.
A brachiopod. Rhynchonella octoplicata. Cretaceous.
Brachiopods are animals which secrete a calcareous bivalve shell for protection. The two valves usually differ in size and shape but each one is equilateral. They are held together by muscles internally and a series of teeth below the beak. The ventral valve has a foramen just below the beak visible on the broken specimen. Through this, a stalk passed which fixed the animal to its substrate. Rhynchonella spp. Have existed from Ordovician times to present day, when they are to be found in deep water off British coasts.
A lamellibranch. Glycimeris glycimeris. Pliocene.
The specimen is one valve of a bivalve shell of a mollusc. The two are held together in life by the teeth, ligament and a pair of muscles, the scars of which can be seen internally.
This animal lived just before the Ice Ages in a shallow cool sea. Animals of the same species can be found alive today around British coasts.
A lamellibranch. Trigonia gibbosa. Jurassic.
The specimen is an internal cast of an animal which has lived from Jurassic times to the present day and is to be found in Australian seas.
A belemnite.
D'Orbigny's restoration of a belemnite shows the position of the guard and phragmocone, which are the only parts of the internal skeleton preserved in this specimen.
Belemnites were most abundant during Jurassic and Cretaceous times and are now extinct. Their nearest relatives at the present time are squids and cuttlefish.
An ammonite. Hildoceras sp. Jurassic.
The specimen is the coiled shell of a mollusc, which is divided into chambers by internal septa – the positions of which are marked externally by a suture line. The animal lived in the last formed and biggest chamber, and probably used tentacles for slow swimming. The other chambers were in contact with each other. Filled with gas, they may have been used for buoyancy. Suture lines are important in identifying ammonites and become more complex in form towards the end of their period of existence. Their range is from the Devonian to Cretaceous and they are now extinct. Their nearest relatives are four species of Nautilus, which live on the edge of the Indian Ocean.
An echinoid (sea urchin). Echinocorys sp. Cretaceous.
The specimen shows the series of interlocking calcareous plates which form the globular skeleton. 5-rayed symmetry, characteristic of all echinoderms, is shown by five sets of pores, through which tube feet passed in life for use in movement and respiration. Sea urchins range from Ordovician to present day, when they are to be found most abundantly in a shallow warm sea on a rocky bottom. This species is one of many found in the chalk and it is probable that the sea in which this was laid down was also shallow and warm.
A crinoid. Pentacrinus sp. Jurassic.
The specimen is of stalks only of sea lilies showing the pentagonal segments of which they are made.
Food was directed to the mouth down the length of the arms by cilia. Pentacrinus is found only in the Jurassic period, but other crinoids are alive today, living in deep water. Some, the Feather Stars, break loose and swim freely as adults.
A graptolite. Diplograptus sp. Silurian.
Graptolites were colonial animals either free-floating or attached to floating weeds in the sea. The soft parts of the animal are entirely unknown and thus their affinities with other groups of animals are dubious. They are found over a wide geographical range but only during the Ordovician and Silurian periods. They are nearly always preserved in black shale, suggesting that they lived some distance from shore where fine sediment was being slowly deposited in calm water.
A shark's tooth. Otodus sp. Cretaceous.
A sharply pointed tooth indicating that it came from a fish-eating shark.
A pteridosperm. Mariopteris sp.
The specimen shows part of the leaves of two species of seed ferns – plants which show structural characteristics of both ferns and gymnosperms. Such plants were abundant in the coastal swamps of the Carboniferous period and have since been compressed to form coal. These leaves fell into mud providing substrate for the trees and have thus been preserved in some detail.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.

C. Diff on the Rise: Is Your Doctor to Blame?
How C. Diff Spreads continued...
McDonald says that this constant interplay between different kinds of health care facilities keeps C. diff in circulation. Half of cases diagnosed in hospitals are in patients already infected when admitted to the hospital.
"That means hospitals are partly at the mercy of surrounding facilities," McDonald says. "Because patients often transfer back and forth, an infection in one place can easily become a problem in another. This points to strict need for prevention across all facilities."
In a pilot project, 71 hospitals in Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York -- with a catchment area of 111 acute-care facilities and 310 nursing homes -- collaborated to stop C. diff spread. Over 19 to 22 months, the hospitals cut C. diff infections by 20%.
And more can be done. In the U.K., a concerted effort to reduce C. diff cut the infection rate in half.
C. Diff Prevention: What You Can Do
Here's the CDC's advice on what patients can do to stop C. diff:
- Antibiotics are lifesaving medicines, but do much more harm than good when you don't need them. Don't beg your doctor for an antibiotic prescription if he or she doesn't think you need one.
- Take antibiotics as prescribed, and only as prescribed.
- Tell your doctor if you have been on antibiotics and get diarrhea within a few months.
- Wash your hands -- carefully -- after using the bathroom.
- If you have diarrhea, try to use a separate bathroom from the rest of the family. Be sure a bathroom is cleaned well if someone with diarrhea has used it.
If you are a caretaker for a person with C. diff infection, wear gloves during active treatment. Then clean your hands thoroughly. If the patient is using the bathroom, clean it well with a bleach solution or another EPA-approved, spore-killing disinfectant.
The CDC study appears in the March 6 early-release issue of MMWR.

The two different types of passwords used in PDF files are, and will always be, a source of confusion.
The OWNER PASSWORD is used to control what you can do with/to the PDF file, but you do not have to know it in order to open and view the file. If the owner password is in play, looking at the document's security properties will tell you what you can't do. With the right software or a website such has www.pdfunlock.com, the owner password can be removed instantly.
The USER PASSWORD on the other hand, is only used to prevent anyone who doesn't know it from opening and viewing the file.
A user password, if not known, cannot be removed instantly. This is why we ask you to provide it if you upload a PDF file protected with one to www.pdfunlock.com. If it is known, we can remove it from the file and free you from the inconvenience of having to remember it and provide it every time you open the file.
If the password is not known, our options to help you are very limited. First, the strength and type of the encryption needs to be evaluated. Passwords of the oldest type, also known as RC4 40bit, can always be removed. This is an operation that requires lots of computing power, but is always within reasonable limits. Since last month, we offer a fully automated service that guarantees the removal of such passwords in less than an hour. However, due to the cost we incur by launching tens of high-end servers to unlock the file in such a short period of time, this service comes cannot be offered for free. To purchase this service, just upload the file at www.pdfunlock.com, and you will be presented with instructions how to proceed. The other option would be to purchase the appropriate software, such as GuaPDF, and run it on your computer. Expect it take anything from a few hours to couple of days, depending on your computer. It will also consume all the CPU power available, making using the computer for anything else hard.
Removing user passwords that utilize newer encryption, such as 128bit RC4 or AES (128bit or 256bit) is different. It's fair to say that there are no guarantees that, with currently modern computers, such a password would ever be removed. There are simply too many possibilities. The key here becomes knowing something about the password, and using that knowledge to somehow limit the passwords that are attempted. Any experiences with removing this type of passwords would be appreciated in the comments!

Topics: Insurance, Marketplace, Politics, Health Reform
Oct 18, 2013
Now that lawmakers have an extension on pressing budget issues, they are refocusing attention on the health law's "rocky rollout." For instance, GOP leaders are pressing administration officials for answers about what's gone wrong with the federal online health insurance marketplace.
The Wall Street Journal: Attention Likely To Shift To Health Law
The end of Washington's budget showdown is likely to shift attention back to President Barack Obama's health law and its rocky rollout, news of which was sometimes submerged in the past 16 days of struggle. Both the government shutdown and the opening of new online health-insurance exchanges happened on the same day, Oct. 1. Republicans tried to defund Mr. Obama's law as part of a deal to reopen the government, but the law emerged virtually unscathed. The greater damage to the law, it turns out, has been self-inflicted: Officials and contractors charged with getting the federally run exchange up and running instead produced a problem-plagued website that has blocked many people from shopping for coverage. Even when people do sign up, private insurers have warned that the information they are getting about the enrollees may be flawed (Radnofsky and Weaver, 10/17).
Reuters: Republicans Press U.S. Officials Over Obamacare Snags
Republicans in Congress chastised President Barack Obama's top health adviser on Thursday for declining to testify before an oversight panel about problems in rolling out the president's signature healthcare program known as Obamacare. Less than a day after Congress ended a 16-day partial government shutdown precipitated by Republican demands to delay or defund Obamacare, they sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius demanding she make officials available for the October 24 hearing (Morgan, 10/17).
CNN: Congressional Fight Over Obamacare Turns To Website Woes
The deal ending the shutdown may not have put a dent in Obamacare, but the battle over implementing the health coverage law is not over. One venue that Republicans are turning to for leverage, starting next week: oversight hearings, beginning with some tough questions about why the rollout of the website for enrolling in health care exchanges is having so many problems. "The American people deserve to know what caused this mess," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Michigan, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "Delays and technical failures have reached epidemic proportions" (McConnell and Todd, 10/18).
Fox News: House Panel Questions Firms Paid $$ For Troubled Obamacare Website
A House committee is probing the widespread technical problems with the launch of the ObamaCare website, including the contractors that were paid hundreds of millions of dollars to create it. The House Energy and Commerce Committee announced Thursday they have scheduled a hearing on the issue for Oct. 24, and have asked Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to attend. Committee member Rep. Leonard Lance, R-N.J., told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Thursday night he wants Sebelius to testify at the hearing but she has not so far responded "favorably" to the proposition (10/18).
NPR: Despite Being Friends, Sen. Roberts Tries To Oust Sebelius
While Republicans failed to undo any part of Obamacare before reopening the government and lifting the debt ceiling, their detest for the program is unchanged. One manifestation is a quiet movement to oust Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (Gonyea, 10/18).

Don't fall victim to a bad sock bun
Normally I try not to get involved in hair, because everyone's is so different.
But we need to talk about an epidemic that is sweeping the nation, which I have been observing closely by studying the backs of people's heads during my morning commute. It is called the Aggressive Sock Bun.
For those of you not aware of the sock bun, it is the practice of putting a donut-shaped cushion around your ponytail and then rolling or pinning your hair to it, to create "the perfect bun." You can actually buy an apparatus specifically for this purpose, or you can just cut a hole in the toe of a sock and roll it up to form a donut.
I'm not surprised by the popularity of such a concept. It causes me physical pain to think how much better my hair would have looked at high school dance team competitions had I thought of such a thing. The fact is, there's not very much hair in the world that's capable of forming a decent bun on its own.
But here's the problem. You know how people are always saying that the secret to wearing makeup is to look like you're not wearing it? Well, I've never been fully on board with that, because I love a red lip now and again. However, that IS the secret to wearing a sock on your head.
Here are some steps I've compiled to combat the Aggressive Sock Bun. Yours may already look great -- some do -- so this list will just serve as a reference. But do note that if this really is aliens taking over the heads of relatively chic twenty-somethings, there isn't much I can do.
1. Choose a sock that is proportional to your head. You would notice if you saw a teeny tiny man wearing an enormous hat, wouldn't you? Similarly, it's strange to have a huge bun on a small head. It's tempting to let the thickness of your hair determine the size of whatever donut you're using, because that's the way most hair tools work. But the truth is, as long as you have enough hair to cover the donut, you should choose the circumference according to the size of your head.
2. Consider the positioning of your ponytail. Most buns look best either low, like a chignon, in the middle of your head, or right at the crown of your head. However, it is a geometric fact that if you want the bun at the crown of your head, you have to put your ponytail lower than that. Otherwise it will be perched atop your head like a fascinator, and not the pretty kind Kate Middleton wears.
3. Don't pull it too tightly. If you're doing a tight top knot like Lauren Conrad or Kim Kardashian, make sure it's really slicked back, with no flyaways and that "wet hair" look. This works best for a formal occasion. For every day, it's best to make a slightly loose pony to start with. You want to mimic the look of an unassisted bun -- slightly imperfect and definitely a little breezier.
4. For Pete's sake, make sure you can't actually SEE the sock ... Or worse, the Hanes logo. One of the heads in front of me on the bus had actually used a white athletic sock, and you could see the sock and a hint of the logo. (I couldn't make it out entirely but I think it was Fruit of the Loom.) At the very least, use a sock whose color is somewhat close to your hair color. So probably not white if you're a dark brunette.
5. Perform a vigorous mirror check. I usually use a compact to check the back of any hairstyle. Never leave the house without this critical step.

WWE has offered a contract to Sara Del Rey, reports PWInsider. According to the report, Del Rey has been offered a deal pending the results of medical examinations. The way WWE works is that once an offer is made to a talent, a contract is contingent on them passing the battery of tests required for medical purposes. Del Rey, arguably the top female independent wrestler in North America over the past several years, is best known for her work in Ring of Honor, SHIMMER (where she was the first SHIMMER Champion), and CHIKARA. She was also named Diva Dirt's Wrestler of the Year for 2011. Del Rey's former ROH stablemates, the Kings of Wrestling Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero, have both joined WWE in the past year with Castagnoli now performing on SmackDown as Antonio Cesaro. The Queen of Wrestling still has several independent dates in the coming weeks: She is due to face Jazz in the main event of SHINE Wrestling's debut Internet pay per view. She also will challenge Eddie Kingston in the main event of CHIKARA on July 28th for the Grand Championship. Also just announced, Del Rey will face Hailey Hatred in August at AIW's Girls Night Out 7. This past weekend, Del Rey and partner Courtney Rush lost the SHIMMER Tag Team Championships to the Canadian Ninjas at NCW Femmes Fatales. Adding an extra wrinkle to this story, Del Rey recently made her return to Ring of Honor at their last television tapings. Obviously, if she were to go to WWE, it would have a knock-on effect on her current ROH storyline.

Former SHIMMER star, Tenille Tayla, who was signed by WWE last year, has relocated to Tampa, Florida and is due to begin in WWE's developmental territory, FCW shortly. In a message on Facebook, Tenille wrote: "Thank you to all my family and friends for the love and support. It's been a long hard journey but happy and proud to say I am now getting a chance to fulfil my dream of not only living in the USA but working for the WWE. I am so excited to start this new journey in my life… Can hardly believe it still! :D Hellooooo Tampa!! Let's get this show on the road!"Australian-born Tenille won a WWE contract after impressing officials in an open tryout in March 2011. However, she has had a long road to making it to WWE. Her FCW debut was delayed due to her having surgery on pre-existing shoulder injuries last year.

But Democrats know that opponents of "Obamacare" could have more success attacking the law piece by piece, or making it an issue in the 2012 elections. So this week, the law's supporters mounted a major counter-offensive. Its thrust: that the overhaul has benefits that most Americans know nothing about.
If that's true, Americans have an excuse: Obama's health care reform was actually passed as two bills that, together, run to 974 pages and some of its provisions don't take effect until 2015. Much of the media discussion of the plan focused on "death panels," "socialized medicine" and other hyperbole rather than the reforms themselves, which essentially do four things:
1. Expand Medicaid, the existing federal-state health insurance program for the poor, to cover more people,
2. Impose a mandate requiring most people to get private health insurance, with tax credits to help qualifying individuals and small businesses buy it,
3. Start state exchanges where people and small businesses will be able to buy insurance and
4. Dramatically intensify the regulation of health insurance companies, by—among other things—prohibiting denial of coverage because of a pre-existing condition, eliminating lifetime coverage caps and allowing children to stay on their parents plans longer.
What impact will the reforms have on New York state and city? That's a complicated question, because the reforms are complex and staggered over six years, and will affect local residents as patients, providers (New York has the third most doctors per capita), insurance company workers (27,000 in the Empire State and 9,000 people in the city work in health insurance) and taxpayers (we spend spend more than any other state on Medicaid).
But with those caveats in mind, here are some of the ways the Obama law is likely to impact New York:
The law's opponents dispute those claims. One of their arguments is that the sequencing of Obama's reforms creates distortions. For example, minimum standards for health plans kick in before state-run insurance exchanges do, meaning that some low-cost, bare-bones-coverage health plans might vanish before the people that use them have an easy option for obtaining new policies.
The reduction in the number of uninsured people among those newly eligible for Medicaid could be between 15 and 47 percent in New York, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Even though many poor people are already covered by Medicaid, a survey by the Community Service Society (which owns City Limits) found that in 2009, 27 percent of low-income New Yorkers saw health care costs increase, 26 percent couldn't fill a prescription because they lacked money or insurance and 18 percent postponed getting medical care because they lacked money or coverage.
The Obama reforms also address the donut hole in Medicare prescription drug coverage, in which there's severely reduced coverage for prescription drug expenditures over $2,840 a year but less than $4,550 ; Obama's plan gives a $250 rebate to patients affected by this quirk. About 60,000 New Yorkers are in the hole.

B.J. Coleman said he didn't expect to be nervous today when he works out for NFL scouts during the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's pro day.
Despite missing out on a chance to throw during the NFL combine because of a pinkie injury, Coleman said there is no extra pressure to perform at a high level today. The pro day, he said, is just part of the larger evaluation process.
"Pro day I sum up like this: it's an opportunity, kind of that second-to-last phase of that job interview," he said. "The interview started on Dec. 26, when I left [to go train in Hattiesburg, Miss.]. Then I did the [East-West Shrine Game] and went to the combine, now it's the pro day and then I'll probably do some private workouts."
The pro day will start with measurements and tests in the Wolford Family Strength and Conditioning Center before the players and scouts head out to Finley Stadium to run and throw and catch.
Also working out today will be former Mocs wide receiver Joel Bradford and defensive back Chris Lewis-Harris. In addition, Tennessee Tech wide receiver Tim Benford, the 2011 Ohio Valley Conference offensive player of the year from Chattanooga, will catch Coleman's passes.
Benford, who also attended the combine, did all of the non-catching elements at Tennessee Tech's pro day last month.
"I can just run routes and showcase my skills once again," he said. "At a pro day you want to be at your best. There will be a lot of scouts here and I want to make B.J. look good and myself look good."
Two other receivers that will be participating today are wideout Wesley Idlette, a Chattanooga native that played at Maryville College, and tight end Dallas Walker, who played at Western Michigan. Walker's family moved to Chattanooga several years ago, which makes him eligible to participate in UTC's pro day.
John Frierson is in his seventh year at the Times Free Press and seventh year covering University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletics. The bulk of his time is spent covering Mocs football, but he also writes about women's basketball and the big-picture issues and news involving the athletic department. A native of Athens, Ga., John grew up a few hundred yards from the University of Georgia campus. Instead of becoming a Bulldog he attended Ole ...

Darling Double Desk Design:
Modern Pastels
Back to School 2013
Anyone else have one desk that fits two? Our children inherited this dual sided IKEA desk with two drawers from their father, so I put together a little mood board that could potentially fit equally well in the kitchen or bedroom.
Has anyone had success with the double desk with older kids? Mine are 4 and 5 now, so we're using it mostly for drawing. I do wonder about the feasibility of getting real work done once the time comes.

Went over to CB2 to see what the bookshelf looks like with books, and I could not possibly have this in my house. It's cute, but for the floor and wall space it takes up, I could have many more books and other items in a Billy bookcase from IKEA.
Also, I have that Besta Burs desk and while it's beautiful, I NEVER use it as an actual DESK anymore, because it feels too damn narrow. I am the type who likes a big ol' desk space, so it may just be a personal preference, but I'd warn against using it as your only desk space (especially if you re trying to cram TWO people at it, yeesh!). Something just 4 or 5 inches deeper would make a huge difference.
I love the way you've put things together! my apartment is very small..and a long desk for 2 people. My husband and I prefer to sit next to each other and work on our laptops. :o)
I had questions for you...will this work for 2 adults? Aesthetically speaking...how does it look when laptops, speakers go on this table with black wires all around? Do you have any tips for hiding the black wires? Each time...what I have witnessed is that my wires kill the look of the entire space. :(
I'm in the field of technology...so I'm naturally surrounded with minimum 2 machines, 1printer/fax, wireless speakers...and nothing is white (I wish it was picture perfect...but its not)...any tips?
I had one more question..."Color Reference Drawers, Land of Nod ($99)"...isn't this for kids? I've never used Nod brand...is this shelf for kids only? Can these be used as regular drawers to file our stuff? Could you please confirm this for me?
I'm really wanting to change the look of my place and yours is an inspiring design/collection.
How sturdy is the bookcase, does anyone know? It seems that it could easily fall over if it's filled with books? And would it ever be able to go on a rug or carpet, or would it just tip right away?

The Rothschild Zionists Run Mossad (inter alia)
Mossad is not the intelligence agency of Israel. It is the intelligence agency of the Rothschilds.
Mossad runs the intelligence agencies of the rest of the world, according to Gordon Logan.
Icke explains it very well. Worth a watch.
George Galloway is a good commentator on this topic, saying that any attack on Iran will result in a counterstrike. People in London will be targeted in retaliation to any attack on Iran, he claims. It will be self defence. I see Galloway with new eyes.
Icke - Zionism is the opposite of Judaeism. The end of Zionism means peace. Jewish people want that. Zionists don't represent world Jewry.

Hmmmmmm, Looks like old Ickey's been got at. Very mixed messages. But Galloway is spot on, helped by the fact that he is a tremendous public speaker. He's the only man I've seen shut Christopher Hitchens up.

Hi Tap, Just a pity George is a moslem. When will he speak up for Christians. He is just another Dual passport holder.
It's about time we got rid of them out of Government, and got Nationals who are bothered about our people.

Hi tap,
Are you aware that a Russian satellite is about to fall back to Earth.
The name is Phobos-Grunt.
Here are some websites for you to refer to.
Thank You.

Interesting about Phobos. I can't run everything on here. Audience will get confused about what kind of blog they are reading!

Comedians understood this TWO years ago
Europe does not have not a liquidity problem.
It has a solvency problem.
You can fix a liquidity problem with credit. You cannot fix a solvency problem that way.
Solvency problems are solved by bankruptcy.
If comedians can get it right,why can't the comedians who call themselves politicians do likewase.
From Brasscheck: Link:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D0VhS8qXT0&feature=player_detailpage
There is no way to patch up Europe. The entire system needs to reboot for the reason two comedians understood two years ago.
Question: If the comedians understood it, why can't the bankers and financial news media?

The Boiling Pot is the launching site of the white water rafting trips. It can be accessed from the Zimbabwean or Zambian side below the bridge. The experience of the Falls from the gorge is awesome in an entirely different way from the view at the top.
Above: Approaching The Boiling Pot.
The two streams of the Zambezi meet below Danger Point in the Boiling Pot, a permanent whirlpool, which is a deep and treacherous fissure. This is the point where the current incarnation of the Victoria Falls was born and the equivalent of the Devils Cataract of the preceding falls the one that formed Second Gorge over which the bridge has been built
Anything swept over the Falls is usually washed up on the northeast bank of the Boiling Pot. It was here that the bodies of two tourists were found in 1910. Reports from the time indicate that a Mr Orchard and Mrs Moss were in canoes a good distance upstream from the Falls when their crafts were capsized by a hippo just off Long Island.
They were half-eaten by crocodiles before their bodies were washed over the Falls and recovered several days later at the Boiling Pot.
It is sinister. The black basalt walls tower above you in an intimidating fashion and the roar of the Falls is magnified by the surrounding rock. The explorer Major A de Serpa Pinto described the Boiling Pot as...
that enormous gulf, black as is the basalt which forms it, dark and dense as the cloud which enwraps it, would have been chosen, if known in biblical times, as an image of the infernal regions, a hell of water and darkness, more terrible perhaps than the hell of fire and light.
White water rafting in the rapids below Palm Grove.
Palm Grove is on the Zambian side of the Falls alongside Second Gorge. The pathway through the grove takes one down to the waters edge below the Boiling Pot.
Be warned: it is a steep climb back out. The cliff face above Palm Grove is host to a small stand of very rare deciduous trees, the propeller tree (Gyrocarpus americanus), which has rounded leaves and winged red-brown fruit.
See a map of where this is
Stone tools for fish traps
Among the stone tools found in the vicinity of Victoria Falls on the Zambian bank are examples of crescent adze blades, a type of tool found nowhere else but in the Zambezi Valley.
These thick, stone tools with a cutting edge, which date back 15 000 years, have been found near Palm Grove. It appears they were used in the construction of reed fishing traps and baskets.

This is part of the offseason training that is all "voluntary", but fans will freak out when any player of name is not in attendance. The Kansas City Chiefs have started their program without a couple of players. Brandon Flowers is not in attendance for the start of voluntary OTAs and Justin Houston is not available at this time either.
Brandon Flowers future with the team is in question already. There had been a lot of talk about trades during the offseason and he may bye just sitting back and waiting to see his future on the roster. The team drafted Phillip Gaines in the offseason to add into the secondary as well and put Flowers situation more in limbo.
Justin Houston could be missing time right now in order to get a long-term contract figured out with the team. He will be entering the last year on his contract and he could be looking to get that thing all situated before the season starts.
The team will have to carry on without them available.

Exclusive: Aptera 2e
An exclusive drive of an aerodynamically slick electric vehicle that looks to change the world, three wheels at a time.
By February 11, 2009 / Photos by Jay K. McNally and Jennifer Degtjarewsky
I'm accelerating and cornering hard on three wheels, little wisps of tire smoke curling out of the slender front wheel pants as steering is cranked in and "throttle" applied. And no, I'm not in an early Volkswagen GTI that hikes up its inside rear tire. Rather, I've been given a drive in the Aptera 2e, a soon-to-be-produced electric vehicle whose shape is slipperier than a Teflon-coated salmon on glare ice, and whose composite construction offers both light weight and impressive structural integrity. Better yet, the 2e is scheduled to begin rolling off the Vista, California, assembly line this October for an as-yet-to-be-determined price between $25,000 and $40,000. Charge it overnight from your 110-volt home outlet, and it's claimed to have a range of 100 miles...in the carpool lane, if you wish.
Pie in the sky? Nope. The business model looks sound; nearly 4000 deposits have been placed (Robin Williams among the clientele), enthusiastic investors are locked in, and co-founders Steve Fambro and Chris Anthony have assembled a team that balances Detroit low-volume niche-production experience with California "anything is possible" attitude. Chief engineer Tom Reichenbach was formerly vehicle engineering manager for both Ford GT and Shelby GT500 programs; and CEO Paul Wilbur has a storied history at Ford, Chrysler and ASC. And Fambro, a biotech engineer and private pilot intrigued by his aircraft's composite construction, and Anthony, a composites specialist with a background in boat design and fluid dynamics, seemed predestined for this partnership.
But back to the Aptera itself. I'm in the pre-production prototype called Punch, so named for upholstery whose color matches that oft-spiked party drink. But the fabric's long gone, as Punch gets lots of track-testing duty and is tuned now with suspension settings and an a/c motor/controller that are nearing final production specs. With the rotary "shifter" clicked to D3, the most aggressive setting, it's responsive, easily modulated and reasonably quick: Reichenbach says 060 mph in under 10 seconds with a 90-mph top speed with its pack of lithium-phosphate-ion-"pixie dust" cells that last part suggesting that their exact composition is a secret.

and contains two short hiatuses (Figure 4.3), the ranges are truncated. Similar to El Kef, d13C values at Caravaca also show low surface productivity through Zone P0 and the lower part of Zone P1a, with initial recovery in the upper part of this zone (Figure 4.10).
Calcareous nannofossil distribution at Caravaca is also similar to El Kef, with a succession of dominant Thoracosphaera, B. bigelowii, and N. parvulum parallel with the major decrease of Cretaceous nannofossils in the basal Tertiary (Romein, 1979; Romein and Smit, 1981). Differences in floral successions include the possible absence of a bloom of N. romeinii, which has not yet been studied, and the occurrence of common Octolithus multiplus preceding an abundance peak of F.petalosa.
Brazos River sections do not have a well-defined boundary clay but contain a 2-mm thin red-brown layer that exhibits the iridium anomaly (Beeson et al., in preparation). The first appearance of Tertiary foraminifera and nannofossils places the K/T boundary at this thin red-brown layer and Ir anomaly (Jiang and Gartner, 1986; Keller, 1989a) and at the onset of the d13C shift in the Brazos Core section (Barrera and Keller, 1990) (Figure 4.11). The same group of Cretaceous survivors dominates foraminiferal assemblages, although because of the shallow neritic water depth, H. globulosa is most abundant. There is no major faunal change apparent below or at the K/T boundary. Above the boundary, Cretaceous species thrive well into Zone P1a (1 m above the K/T) similar to Nye Klov, Denmark (Keller et al., 1993), in contrast to Caravaca and El Kef where Cretaceous survivors become rare within or immediately above Zone P0. However at Brazos, H. globulosa populations also begin their terminal decline in Zone P0, parallel with a gradual decline in d13C values of H. globulosa and the benthic species Lenticulina (Figure 4.11; Barrera and Keller, 1990). This is the first time that the d13C shift has been observed as a gradual rather than a sudden change (Hsu et al., 1982; Zachos et al., 1986) and implies deteriorating environmental changes beginning within a few thousand years of the K/T boundary.
Above the K/T boundary the Cretaceous survivors G. cretacea and G. trifolia dominate (50 to 60%) through Zones P1a-P1b (Figure 4.11). Such prolonged dominance of this group has not been observed in other sections and seems to be the result of local ecological conditions. However, the evolutionary sequence of early Tertiary planktic foraminiferal species is similar to that of Nye Klov, ODP Site 738C, El Kef, and Caravaca, although P. eugubina is rare, presumably because of the shallow neritic environment. The d13C curve is similar to El Kef and Caravaca in that

Weary wind of the west [5'10]
Other recordings available for download
|London Symphony Chorus, Stephen Westrop (chorus master), Vernon Handley (conductor)
During the 1890s Elgar wrote several accompanied part-songs, including the choral suite From the Bavarian Highlands (1895); but apart from a small part-song for The Musical Times, and As Torrents in Summer in the cantata King Olaf in 1896, Elgar did not return to unaccompanied part-songs until 1902, when he accepted a commission from the Morecambe Festival. He had been involved in musical competitions before, at Madresfield near his home at Malvern, but Morecambe was a different case altogether, generally considered the finest and certainly the largest in the country at that time. The Festival president, Canon Charles Gorton (who later advised Elgar on the librettos of The Apostles and The Kingdom) persuaded Elgar to attend the Festival and to adjudicate in some of the competitions. In October 1902 he completed a part-song, Weary Wind of the West, for use as a test-piece. On 28 December Elgar sent a copy of the new song to Arthur Johnstone, music critic of The Manchester Guardian and leading advocate of Elgar on the Morecambe executive, adding: 'You are somewhat responsible for the enclosed. Lay it amongst your crimes. The thing is not bad perhaps and there are not many partsongmongers' harmonies. 'Twill serve.' And serve it did, becoming enormously popular among competition choirs. It is an absolutely perfect test-piece, starting easily, giving singers time to settle, and becoming more demanding and contrapuntal in the central section as the 'wind' picks up; and after the climax at 'Came with a bound to the hill', it declines slowly around the repeated word 'Fell'. The opening tune returns, and then just before the end Elgar gives the sopranos a top G ppp on the word 'all', very difficult to execute and a real test for any choir.

Choosing to "Live the Vue" was the worst decision I made all school year. I live in the larger town homes in the back that truly have a great view. However, it is all down hill from there. We will start by mentioning the fact that there is a train track 40 feet from my front door, that everyone neglected to mention when I signed the lease for one of the most expensive units on the property. It wakes me up at least a couple times a week at 4 a.m. The build quality is horrible, I have experience with renovating and building homes and these apartments are below builder quality. The first time it rained my apartment flooded because they had not checked the building for roof leaks since they built them. None of our doors are hung correctly and most of the time they will not latch, you have to turn the dead bolt to keep it shut. Earlier in the year we had a mouse infestation that I had to take care of myself, because I called the office and asked them to send pesk control, their exact response was "Go to Walmart and buy a Trap." They did end up sending someone out, 8 days later. The maintenance and ground keepers are incompetent employees who ride around on their golf carts all day and pick up the occasional piece of trash with their little grabby arm, but only if they can reach it without getting out of their cart. In the winter, if it snows or sleets, plan on not leaving your apartment for a couple days because the hill becomes in passable. It is no ones fault, its just inconvenient. I am 10 months into my lease now and I have only seen 2 of the 10+ amenities promised to us and that is the shuttle to campus and to Dickson st. and the sad excuse for a dog park which they built 8 months after we moved in and only took an outside contractor a day to fence. NO Pool, Clubhouse, Gym, Golf Simulator, Computer Room, etc... etc... Maybe in 3 or 4 years the Vue will get better management, finish its clubhouse, and actually be a nice place to live. But, that time is not now, and it will be a cold day in hell before I suggest the vue to anyone.

Do Not Live Here!! The management is awful. Lived here for 12 months and they never opened any of the amenities that we're promised. The gym the pool none of that ever opened. The internet is slower than dialup and they charge you extra each month for electricity because the apartments aren't insulated properly. They're also constantly doing construction because it wasn't built properly. Finally the appliances are all the cheapest ones they could find and every one of them has broken at least once. Bottom line live somewhere else!

Packers vs. Lions Q&A
1) The Lions are off to a 3-1 start and are currently leading the division. What do they need to do going forward to continue this progress?
They have to keep making plays on defense and they have to remain balanced on offense. The reason the Lions struggled so much last year is that their defense wasn't coming up with turnovers and the Lions didn't do much offensive except throw the ball around the field. That has changed this year and the results have changed as well.
2) The acquisition of Reggie Bush in the offseason seems to be really paying off. What does he bring to this offense that they haven't had previously?
A true home run threat. When the ball gets in Reggie's hands, he's a threat to take it to the house. That is what they were hoping for in Jahvid Best and it worked OK until the concussion issues took over.
3) Calvin Johnson Jr. has been arguably the best receiver in the league for some time now. If you're playing against him, how do you stop him? You have to double him every snap. The key with Reggie Bush in the offense is that stopping Calvin hasn't been enough. He was relatively quiet in the two home wins over the Vikings and Bears but Bush was such a force that the Lions' offense was rolling anyway.
