Joe Hampton and Alani Moore were having fun with a basketball in the DeMatha Catholic High School gymnasium a couple weeks ago, launching half-court shots and underhand shots from beyond the 3-point line — any form of trick shot — until Victor Oladipo came over and lightly scolded the pair of up-and-coming Stags.
"You can't use that ball," Oladipo said with a straight face, uncharacteristic of the amiable former DeMatha and Indiana University standout and recent Orlando Magic NBA Draft lottery pick. Confused, Hampton looked down at the ball and twirled it around, unsure of why exactly it was he couldn't shoot around with it.
"Nah," Oladipo said, though only joking now. "That ain't Nike. You gotta use a Nike."
This might seem like a perplexing scene to many unfamiliar with Oladipo or his past allegiances. After all, at the time, Oladipo had not yet been drafted. He had yet to accept an endorsement deal or sign on with any of basketball's biggest companies. But to those who have known Oladipo for some time, says Team Takeover coach Keith Stevens, this wasn't unusual at all.
What anybody in Kathy and Morgan Wootten Gymnasium witnessed that day is called brand loyalty. Oladipo's has been building since the day he joined Team Takeover, a Nike-sponsored Amateur Athletic Union team. Through Takeover, Oladipo and his teammates received free backpacks, uniforms, shorts, shirts, socks — anything the kids needed that could be basketball related, and sometimes not even that. All they had to do was show off the Nike swoosh.
"I'll tell you what," Potomac High coach Renard Johnson said. "This obviously wasn't that when I played. When I got back into coaching I honestly did not know how big it had become. Because I wasn't into coaching, I didn't have an appreciation for it."
There are two very different ways to view Nike and other companies' interests in youth sports and their complimentary-style of advertising in youth basketball. Under Armour provides similar services to the world-class AAU team, D.C. Assault, and Adidas has dipped into the local talent as well. One could see this as a public service.
Many of these players, possessing an incredible amount of basketball ability though not necessarily an incredible amount of expendable income, could not afford the $120 pair of Nike shoes they wore for that day's game. They wouldn't be able to travel to Las Vegas or Milwaukee for a national tournament, where pools of college coaches, the potential for a free education, await. They might not be able to afford to play on the team at all.
"From a self-esteem point, they're developing," Johnson said. "They're going to tournaments they couldn't play in, playing in this gear many of them wouldn't be able to play in. They don't get a sense of entitlement, they get a sense of pride, of appreciation."
Oladipo was proud that day back at DeMatha, less than a week before he was taken on June 27 by the Magic with the No. 2 pick in the draft. Johnson was proud when he could send his Wolverines trotting out in Nike warm-ups and Nike backpacks, a personal favor from Stevens, who coaches Johnson's standout at Potomac, Dion Wiley, with Team Takeover.
"Last season, Keith Stevens was very generous, Nike was very generous with our program. Keith is a friend," Johnson said. "He got word that we were struggling with certain things and they helped us with backpacks, warm-ups, that sort of thing. I would never ask Keith for a pair of socks, he did this on his own generosity."
Nike, a heavyweight company in the basketball industry, has long been involved in the Washington, D.C., area. The Assault was actually the first team to take on Nike as a sponsor some 18 years ago, a favor from former Georgetown University coach John Thompson, Jr., who notified the company that an exceptionally gifted AAU team was budding in the area.
"We were young, ambitious — he liked what we were doing," Assault General Manager Damon Handon said. "And he ended up tying us into a contract with Nike."
A year later, Adidas made a "more lucrative" offer, and the Assault signed on. For about 15 years then, the Assault operated as a branch of Adidas. But then Under Armour expanded in the region, and Kevin Plank's company "made us a lucrative deal that was probably double Adidas," Handon said, though he couldn't reveal the exact terms of the contract. "Under Armour is a local brand with a lot of new ideas. It was kind of a no-brainer."
While the monetary figures he couldn't elaborate on, Handon did say that the gear distributed out to the Assault "is about that of a Division I college." Which is to say, a lot.
"I'm able to take care of several high schools in the area," he said. "It saves their parents a lot of money when you think about it with the shoes, the backpacks, the shirts — our kids are well taken care of."
And it's not just his kids. Handon will host backpack drives in Washington, D.C., handing them out to those who can't afford one or need an upgrade from the tattered bag they are currently toting around. Like the Assault, Team Takeover volunteers in similar philanthropic measures, such as helping out Johnson and Potomac.
But, like anything, there is a flip-side to that coin: Are these companies exploiting the talents of kids too young to understand that they are, in a way, marketing tools? Michael Beasley and Nolan Smith, former Assault players when Adidas was the main sponsor, went on to sign enormous deals with Adidas in lieu of other offers when they turned professional. Oladipo probably won't be far behind with Nike.
"It's all marketing for these companies," Handon said. "It's free advertising. Not free, but much cheaper than you see on TV. Who would have thought, five years ago, that Under Armour would be marketing at the grassroots level?"
It's not as crazy a thought as many would think. Tracy McGrady signed a $12 million contract with Adidas straight out of high school, prompting other companies to "start looking for the next McGrady," Handon said. And they really aren't too far off.
Wiley is the No. 1 ranked recruit in Maryland. Upper Marlboro resident Melo Trimble, another D.C. Assault product, is the No. 1 ranked player in Virginia (he plays at Bishop O'Connell). Roddy Peters, a backcourt teammate with Trimble at the Assault, was a highly sought-after recruit and ended up with the University of Maryland, College Park, conveniently another Under Armour-sponsored program. Handon, however, doesn't view these companies as using his players, warping their talents into advertising ploys.
"I don't think any of these kids are being exploited," he said. "We've had a lot more kids go to college, get their degrees and become productive citizens than professional athletes. I think it's a win-win situation for the kids."

Coral, burgundy and copper chrysanthemums are blooming in my garden. It's June, not October! Mums are short-day (photoperiodic) plants that bud and flower only when nights are longer than days, usually after the Summer Solstice.
When I lived on the Texas Gulf Coast, mum plants regularly budded out and flowered in March and again in late October. That's because the perennials never died back to the ground and plenty of foliage to support flowering was available in late winter when nights were longer than days.
I now live in Zone 5, where perennials don't start growing until April. But, this year, the country experienced a heat wave throughout March, after an extremely warm winter.
These coral mum plants are full of buds and will probably bloom into July. I wonder if they will recover fast enough to produce autumn flowers.
Mum plants broke dormancy almost two months early, grew rapidly and set flower buds. Other short-day plants like milkweed and goldenrod set buds, too.
Monarch and Painted Lady butterflies hatched in March, too, and feasted on the milkweed, tulips and hyacinths.
There are so many Painted Lady butterflies swarming in my garden that it's easy to find a handful!
Warm Ground
An apple-scented geranium (pelgorium) planted last spring is growing again in the rose bed. It's a Zone 10 plant native to South America! Amphorphallus 'Konjac' and gladiola bulbs I missed when digging them up last October have sprouted and are growing, too.
I grew this tropical apple-scented-leaf geranium last summer and was amazed when it popped out of the ground this month.
The ground never froze last winter, due to little snow and warm temperatures. It usually dips to -20F, and a two-foot snowpack is normal. This year, scant snow that melted within hours, and temperatures rarely below 20F were the norm. My Zone 5 winter was really a Zone 8 one. No wonder perennials sprouted in March, urged on by the warm ground.
This season's fruit crop is a disaster, except for blueberries. All the apple trees and the Asian pear flowered in late March and froze when night temperatures suddenly dipped below 20F in the first few days of April. Every blossom was killed. My five blueberry shrubs managed to survive the freeze, because their flowers were only half open. I'm picking a huge crop of berries now, six weeks ahead of schedule.

Saint Vitus is an American doom metal band from Los Angeles, formed in 1978. They consist of founding members Dave Chandler (guitarist) and Mark Adams (bass), alongside sporadic singer Scott Weinrich and recently added drummer Henry Vasquez. The band has been regarded and credited as one of the first bands of the genre, starting out as early as the late 1970s, along with Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble and Candlemass. As of 2011, they have released seven studio albums. The original Saint Vitus line-up consisted of Chandler, Adams, drummer Armando Acosta and singer Scott Reagers. They recorded their first two albums before Scott Weinrich replaced Reagers in 1986. The line-up of Chandler, Adams, Acosta and Weinrich was the longest-lasting, and recorded the band's next three albums albums, Born Too Late (1986), Mournful Cries (1988) and V (1990). Although Saint Vitus enjoyed moderate success with those albums, the band never achieved a popular breakthrough. Weinrich left the band in 1991 to focus on the reunion of his previous band The Obsessed, and was replaced by Chritus Linderson. Saint Vitus recorded the album C.O.D. (1992) before Linderson was dismissed from the band. In 1994, Saint Vitus reunited with Reagers and recorded Die Healing (1995), which would be their final album for 17 years.

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 111 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kelly Great for windy days at the beach Surfing requires waves, and waves require wind, so the best days to take my kids to the beach is on windy days. But beach umbrellas and wind don't get along. Even with an anchor screwed into the sand to keep it from flying away, when the wind gusts my umbrella would collapse. I was so happy when I found this shelter. It is intuitively simple to set up and really stands up to the wind coming off the Atlantic Ocean. It includes excellent high quality stakes to keep it anchored to the sand and I found I didn't even need the ropes. Intelligent design, looks great and gives some much needed shade on a hot sunny windy day at the beach. If you love the beach but don't like watching the wind blow your umbrella into the parking lot I highly recommend this shelter. June 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by VSM Broke First Use at Beach The first time we used this at the beach it turned inside out and snapped into pieces. We were trying to rotate it as the sun had moved since our initial set-up and we'd lost most of our shade. Big mistake. The wind grabbed it and turned it inside out. The pieces snapped as we struggled to right it. Ended up sitting out in the sun for the rest of our day on the beach. July 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Beach Bum 75 Don't Buy For The Beach! I purchased the Sportbrella specifically for beach use. I set it up in the pictured leaning position. Its large size and sun blocking ability was excellent but I was extremely disappointed after just 2 uses in the fact that it is just a cheaply made umbrella. I used the stakes that come with it and also separately purchased a stake to screw the post into the sand- the telescopic pole extension will not anchor it in the sand in the leaning position. The first gust of beach wind turned the umbrella inside out. The flimsy ribs aren't made to withstand the typical breezes you will get at the beach. In fact, the stitching that attached the umbrella fabric to the ribs ripped completely away. You would think I set it up in a hurricane, but this was a typical breezy day at the beach. Don't use this umbrella at the beach, you will be disappointed. July 13, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by kurtz Poor quality, good concept Bought this last year. Used it 4 times and it broke today. Grommets rusted after first use. Fabric had holes in it. All around poor quality. Great concept, it's just cheaply made. It doesn't work for the beach or lake as it will rust. Don't waste your money unless you want to throw away $70. The important structural components are cheap plastics. May 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Alainesp Amazing Umbrella for the Beach! I searched high and low for a beach umbrella in the Rochester area. Finally, I came across this umbrella at Dick's Sporting Goods and on the recommendation of the salesman, I bought it. When I spoke to the salesman, he was so enthusiastic about this umbrella I purchased it. I hadn't even opened it at the store. When I got home and opened it I was delighted! It is so large and so well designed and so easy to use! I highly recommend this wonderful umbrella for anyone who wants a generous and quality umbrella for the beach or anywhere where you need protection from the sun or wind or Both! May 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by David58 Great except one thing I love almost everything about this umbrella, my only complaint is the stakes that come with it aren't that good for the beach because they pull out of the sand even in a light wind. October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Martyzbad Love this product!! Room for everyone! Started out at k-mart after seeing they sold a smaller version. But after not being able to find it in the store, I went next door to Dick's and found this larger version. So glad I did. It works great, and has room for everyone. you do need to use the front tie-downs if there is a wind, and you might need a second person to hold it while you stake it, but even in dry sand the stakes held fine and the breeze was not an issue. Going on vacation (beach for a whole week) soon and can't wait to take it along. If there was one drawback, it is the length... it just fits in my trunk (on a diagonal) and I have a HUGE trunk... so it makes packing the rest of the trunk a little awkward. In a small car it would have to run from front to back as it is a full 5 feet long closed up. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jennang So Simple This was ten times better then trying to put up one of those beach cabanas. It literally opens like an umbrella and sticks in the ground. Also handles wind really well. September 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by soccerdad Spectate in the rain It's good for 2 people but not 3. Seems a little flimsy. We'll see how well it holds up over time. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Josh36 Biggest bang for your buck. My kids play soccer and football and occasionally we go camping. This sport-brella by-far is one of the best investments I've ever made for outdoor comfort. Awesome on a sunny-day for shade and even better on a rainy, windy day to keep you dry and warm. Being able to fit my family of 8 is what puts it over the top for me. All in all, GREAT buy. Worth every penny to me. October 21, 2014

Ariana Grande is quickly capturing the hearts of pop, hip-hop and R&B lovers alike. While you might know her from some of Nickelodeon's most popular shows like iCarly and Victorious. The 20-year-old actress dropped her debut album Yours Truly earlier this month on Republic Records.
Grande's wholesome, playful image paired with a vocal range that is drawing comparisons to a young Mariah Carey puts her in a position to absolutely take over the music world. Between collaborating with of-the-moment rappers like Big Sean and Mac Miller, singing duets with The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, and reminding her fans just how much their support means to her, it's a wonder the starlet has a moment to breath these days. Despite her crazy schedule, we got the chance to kick it with her and chat about about her new album, working with the lovable Mac Miller, stylish Big Sean and learning to sing the music she actually loves.
Get to know Ariana Grande below, and check out her video for "Baby I," above.
Congratulations on the release of your debut album Yours Truly! What's your favorite song on the album and why?
"Honeymoon Ave." My friend Leon sang the intro for it, so I love hearing his voice on there and it feels warm, friendly, familiar, comfortable and happy, so the song is just very special to me.
Tell me about the process of working with Big Sean on the track "Right There"? Was it co-written? How did you guys come together for that?
I wanted "Right There" to be "The Way" [featuring Mac Miller] part two and it definitely feels like that. I love the song. It's a sexier version of the "The Way." Like "The Way" is the first date song and it's like 'oh hey, we've got this second date going' kind of song.
What was it like working with Mac Miller?
It was great, he's one of my best friends.
You've collaborated with several people from different genres– Nathan Sykes, Mika, Big Sean- do you find that your artistic process changes depending on the artist?
Yeah, I think there has to be some middle ground with any artist you collaborate with to make it comfortable for both of you. I feel like with "Right There" it catered to Big Sean, but it also catered to me and what I love. There has to be that creative 'give a little' and 'get a little.'
How do you know that spark is there when you first meet an artist? As you're approached and as you approach other artists for collaborations what's the sentiment you get when you realize you mesh really well creatively with another artist?
The great thing about the collaborations on my album is that each feature is a friend of mine, someone I know very well and vice versa. Big Sean and I were trying to do a song together for a long time, almost a year. We kept coming up with different songs that just weren't right for one or both of us and finally we felt like 'this is it.' But we were friends in the meantime, so it was cool. My whole first album experience has been really comfortable because we worked with people that know me well.
What was it like recording your debut album in terms of the creative process? It's your first album and I know that you come from a history of acting via Nickelodeon's Victorious and Sam and Cat. How do the two processes differ?
It's different because I've never felt like an actress. Music comes really easily to me and it's something I understand better than I do the English language. Music is my life, acting is fun for me but it feels like work. This album came at a really great place in my life. I got to explore creatively, take my time with it as it was written over the course of three years and I'm so happy we finally got it right. I'm really proud of it, and that's coming from the most self-deprecating person you've ever met.
We're our own worst critics! Your song is very R&B, but it's got a pop spin. Could you see yourself experimenting with different genres?
It's always fun to experiment with different genres. At the beginning of the album writing process I was doing a very "bubble-gummy" sound and I hated it. I love pop music from other artists but I can't sing bubble-gum pop and convince myself that it's right. I did it mostly because I thought that's what my demographic wanted to hear from me. It felt and sounded strange. Finally, I just said, 'I need to do what I love, what makes me happy and songs I actuallywant to sing on this album.' That changed everything.
You have to be passionate about it or it just won't feel right. You said before that music comes naturally while acting can feel like tough work. Do you plan to completely leave acting behind for music?
Absolutely, that's the plan!
You released two very different versions of your album cover. How come and which one did you prefer?
I prefer the current cover but my manager, Scooter Braun, and I wanted to get publicity going over it so we released a few interesting fake ones to get some buzz going. Scooter and I came up with that plan together just to generate more excitement for the album release and have fun with it. If there's anything Scooter Braun knows how to do it's coming up with creative ways to release music.
But I like things to look really classic and the goal for that portrait was an old George Hurrell portrait so that made me really happy.
What do you have coming up that fans can look forward to?
I'm already working on the second album and I'm equally excited about it as the first one!

(The Today Show) Nearly two decades after becoming the nation's most famous White House intern, Monica Lewinsky opens up in an upcoming Vanity Fair essay about how difficult it's been to move on past her well-known scandal.
"It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," the now-40-year-old writes about her affair with then sitting-President Bill Clinton.
Yet, she has found it harder than expected to bury her tainted past, TODAY anchors noted Wednesday.
In her essay, Lewinsky expresses deep regret for her affair with Clinton, while insisting the relationship was between two consenting adults. But she also describes the long-lasting impact the scandal has had on her life, specifically, her ability to prove to potential employers that she won't be a liability because of her name recognition.

Video: Tribute grows for family killed in Lodi crash
LODI, CA - Five people and an unborn baby were killed in a six-vehicle crash Tuesday evening.
The crash was at the intersection of South Ham Lane and West Vine Street around 5:21 p.m., just a block away from Lodi Memorial Hospital, Lodi police Officer Eric Bradley said.
According to the Mexican consulate, those killed in the crash include 12-year-old Irving Miranda, 7-year-old Jose Miranda, 5-year-old Stephanie Miranda, 30-year-old Luis Miranda, 31-year-old Vivian Rodriguez and her unborn baby.
Among those transported from the scene to the hospital with various injuries were 9-year-old Eden Miranda, a male driver of undisclosed age and four other individuals. Two people were treated at the scene and released.
"This is a very complex scene," Bradley said.
Josh Ramos said he lives just doors down from the crash site. He said when he walked out his door, bodies were everywhere and people were in shock.
"People running around children outside, crying people caring for them," Ramos said.
Police said they don't know which car caused the crash or how it happened. . The Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team is leading the investigation.
"These officers have been specially trained to investigate complex collisions, using both traditional techniques and advanced scientific technology," Bradley explained.
Police said they were investigating reports of a driver on a cell phone causing the crash, but they said it was too early to determine the exact cause.

Indiana started slow, stay rattled and never really challenged in their 61-50 Sweet 16 loss to fourth-seed Syracuse Thursday night at Washington D.C.
Here are some of the keys to the defeat:
1. Great Syracuse defense
Coach Jim Boeheim has said this is one of his best defensive teams and it proved it. Syracuse and 12 steals, 10 blocks and flustered the Hoosiers into a series of poor choice. IU scored a season-low 50 points, eight fewer than their previous low.
2. Poor defense
Syracuse had spent most of the season struggling on offense, but you'd never know it by the way it scored against IU. It shot 46.7 percent in the first half and 43.8 percent for the game. Guard Michael Carter-Williams had a career-high 24 points.
3. Inability to make shots.
Indiana shot just 31.0 percent in the second half, and 33.3 percent for the game. They came in averaging 48.6 percent. They also were just 3-for-15 from three-point range. That's 20.0 percent, well below their season average of 40.8 percent.
4. Turnovers
The Hoosiers had a flurry of turnovers to start the game and never really adjusted. They had 12 at halftime and a season-high-tying 19 for the game. Syracuse scored 13 points off those turnovers.
5. Backcourt disparity
IU got almost nothing offensively from guards Jordan Hulls and Yogi Ferrell, who combined for no points, four assists and six turnovers. Syracuse guards Michael Carter-Williams and Brandon Triche combined for 38 points.

The Electric Side of Gas Furnaces
The motors that drive the fans in air handlers use more power than you might think.
In much of the United States, space heating is by far the largest energy user in the home, and the venerable forcedair furnace is the most popular means to meet this need. Furnaces are present in nearly 50 million homes around the country. It's no wonder that manufacturers and researchers have spent considerable effort improving the combustion efficiency of furnaces—so much so that some models can wring more than 95% of the energy from their input fuel.
But until recently, the push to develop and promote energy-efficient furnaces has largely ignored the fact that furnaces require a lot of electricity to operate.The furnace fan motor is often the largest motor in the home, and it can easily rack up more than 1,000 hours of operation per year in the course of distributing heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. Furnace electricity use is an especially significant expense in homes where the furnace fan is run continuously for air filtration and other reasons.
The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association (GAMA) publishes an exhaustive directory of furnace combustion efficiency, as well as a measure of annual furnace electricity use. (Unlike combustion efficiency, which is subject to independent certification, electricity ratings are self-reported by manufacturers.) A quick thumb through the GAMA directory reveals a huge variation in electric consumption among furnaces, ranging from less than 100 kWh per year to well over 1,000 kWh per year. Clearly, furnaces are not all created equal when it comes to electricity use.
The furnaces with the lowest electricity use ratings use electronically commutated motors (ECMs) instead of the industry standard permanent splitcapacitor (PSC) induction motor. ECMs, which are sometimes referred to as brushless DC motors, are known for being somewhat more efficient than a standard blower motor, but mainly for being able to operate over a wider range of speeds with good efficiency (see "Motors Matter,"HE July/Aug '00, p. 31).These blower motors are often associated with top-of-the-line furnaces that have multistage firing capabilities.Though multistage ECM furnaces have been around for some time, they have only recently started to catch the attention of consumers and energy efficiency advocates.
Wisconsin's Focus on (Motor) Energy
In Wisconsin, ECM furnaces have received interest for the simple reason that the Wisconsin furnace market has been largely transformed in terms of combustion efficiency. Distributor sales data show that eight out of every ten furnaces sold in the state each year are high-efficiency condensing models. With little potential efficiency gains left to achieve on the gas side,Wisconsin's statewide public benefits program, Focus on Energy, began offering cash rewards for electrically efficient ECM furnaces in 2002. Similar rebates are also offered in Oregon and California.
Recognizing that few independent data existed on ECM furnaces and furnace electricity use in general, Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation, which administers the residential Focus on Energy programs, asked the Energy Center of Wisconsin, where I work, to undertake a field study of electricity use in new furnaces.The emphasis in the study was on comparing the characteristics of ECM and non- ECM furnaces.
With funding from Focus on Energy, field assistance from Greg Dalhoff of Dalhoff and Associates and George Penn of Global Energy Options, I, with the aid of Brett Bergee and Steve Buss from our office, initiated a field study of 31 new furnaces in Wisconsin in February of 2002. Our goal was to compare the operating characteristics of ECM and non-ECM furnaces, as well as to gather basic data on new furnaces, such as annual hours of operation and annual number of cycles.
Most of the 31 furnaces fell into one of two groups: (1) furnaces with PSC blower motors and a single firing stage and (2) furnaces with ECM blower motors and two firing stages.Though other configurations exist, these two groups represent the alternatives faced by most consumers.All of the furnaces in the study were high-efficiency condensing models with sealed combustion and induced draft.The annualized fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of the furnaces ranged from 92% to 95%. All but 5 of the furnaces were in new homes, and all were less than three years old at the beginning of the study.
In addition, most of the ECM furnaces in the study used a line of motors manufactured by General Electric, which have a patented mechanism to dynamically adjust the motor speed to maintain constant air flow over a wide range of static pressure. (For this reason, ECM furnaces are sometimes referred to as variable-speed furnaces.)
To conduct the study,we tested each furnace in various operating modes (heating, cooling, continuous fan-only) while recording high-resolution data on electricity use, static pressure, temperature, and air flow. We measured electricity use with Dent ELITEpro data loggers that recorded the power consumed by the furnace as a whole every three seconds, as well as recording the power used by the air handler and combustion blower separately. We logged static pressure and temperature once a second with pressure transducers and temperature sensors connected to Hobo data loggers. Finally,we measured air flow with the Energy Conservatory's TrueFlow air handler flowmeter.
We monitored the operation of the furnaces over the last half of the 2001–02 heating season, as well as the 2002 cooling season. In the fall of 2002, we returned to each site to remove the monitoring equipment and repeat the testing.We used the monitoring data to develop models of the operation of each furnace as a function of outdoor temperature, and then projected their operation to typical annual Wisconsin heating and cooling seasons.
How the Motors Measured Up
Despite the fact that the furnaces were in different houses with varying duct and filter characteristics, the test data clearly confirmed that ECM air handlers generally draw substantially less power than the PSC blower motors, and can efficiently produce air flow over a much wider range (see Figure 1).We found that the ECM furnaces use less electricity—sometimes considerably less—in each of their three operating modes: heating, cooling, and fan-only. They also use a fair amount of electricity over the many thousands of hours they spend each year in standby mode (see "Furnaces and Leaking Electricity").
Heating is the most complicated mode of operation for furnaces, since it involves ignition and shut-down sequences and puts into play the most furnace components (see Figure 2).Though some homes in our study had other heating sources, the data suggest that the typical Wisconsin furnace runs for about 1,000 hours during the heating season, and goes through perhaps 6,000 heating cycles.The average hours of operation we found in the field is fairly consistent with assumptions used to estimate annual gas and electricity consumption for specific furnace models in the GAMA directory (see "What's a Heating Load-Hour?").
For the majority of furnaces in the study, most of the electricity used during the heating season goes toward operating the air handler (Figure 3).An ECM air handler substantially reduces electricity consumption; the average ECM furnace in our study used about 0.5 kWh of electricity per therm of gas consumed, which is about half what we measured for the non-ECM furnaces.That translates into about 400 kWh less electricity over the course of an average heating season in Wisconsin.
Though they are quite substantial, the heating mode savings we obtained are less than one would expect from the GAMA directory ratings. Our data suggest that the ratings tend to underestimate electricity use by ECM furnaces, and therefore overestimate the electricity savings from ECMs.The majority of the ECM furnaces in our study used more electricity (per therm of gas) than the rating data would suggest, with the median furnace using about 80% more than its rating value.The non-ECM furnaces, on the other hand, averaged about their rated kWh per therm,with some using more and some using less.
What explains this difference? Though there are many individual factors that affect the operation of furnaces in actual homes compared to standard test conditions ("your mileage may vary"), static pressure—and differences in how the two types of furnaces respond to static pressure—is probably a key one. Static pressure in real homes appears to be far higher than that used in the rating test procedure. Unlike standard furnace fans, most ECM furnace fans compensate for higher static pressure by cranking up to a higher speed to maintain proper air flow. The result is that ECM furnaces in actual homes will use more electricity than they do in the test procedure.
At the outset of the study,we were very curious to find out how much the two-stage ECM furnaces used their reduced firing rate.Manufacturer claims for low-fire operation range from 70% to more than 90% of the time. The assertion that two-stage ECMs offer quieter and more comfortable heating is based on these claims, and the claims were largely supported by the field data. Most of the two-stage ECMs in the study operated almost constantly on low fire.These furnaces run for more hours, but since lowfire operation averages about 65% of full output heating capacity while drawing only 30% of the electrical power used in high-fire operation, they save electricity overall. (The same cannot be said of twostage furnaces that do not use ECMs.)
In fact, our empirical estimates of furnace sizing in the study indicate that the average furnace is about twice as big as needed to meet the home's peak heating load. For two-stage furnaces, this means that low-fire operation alone can meet the heating load of the home even in severely cold weather.As a rule, high-fire operation for the two-stage furnaces in our study occurred only when the furnace was recovering from a thermostat setback period. The amount of high-fire operation is thus strongly affected by how much—and how often— homeowners set back the thermostat.
For this reason,multistage ECM furnaces offer a technological fix for the furnace- sizing problem; they operate mainly as smaller furnaces, but they offer that extra capacity to kick the temperature back up after a setback.Another plus is that these furnaces may help keep a heating contractor who is worried about installing a too-small furnace from getting the jitters.
It is worth noting that the reduced electricity draw by ECM furnaces means less waste motor heat in the home during the winter, which could be expected to increase gas consumption slightly. Researchers at the National Research Council in Canada who studied furnaces that operate in continuous-fan mode during the winter have documented this effect. For furnaces that operate in fanauto mode (meaning that the air handler operates only when the furnace is providing heat), the net effect is less clear.Though our calculations suggest perhaps 15 therms of additional gas use per year to make up for the lost motor heat, the AFUE of the ECM furnaces in the study averages about two percentage points higher, which would largely offset this amount.

Although Gustave Courbet became famous in the mid-century for his large-scale paintings dedicated to a realism rooted in left-wing politics, later in his career, the artist turned to landscape. A natural course for an artist deeply connected to his rural roots well outside of Paris, these landscapes and seascapes are as much about the physical qualities of the paint as they are about the physical qualities of the scene. Marine, for example, is an exquisite rendering of sky, sea and sand, in which the paint—often dragged across or scraped from the surface with a palette knife—assumes the qualities of the very landscape Courbet has chosen to represent. This technique is also found in Cliff at Étretat, The Porte d'Aval, where the solidity of the unusual cliff formations attracted Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin and Henri Matisse, among others. The craggy rocks, asperity of the sand and striation of the cliffs in the distance against the strikingly smooth sky speak directly to the profound link between the Frenchman's artistic approach and his native landscape.

Saturday, August 28, 2010
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (August 28, 2010) - The ETSU volleyball team dropped a hard fought match to Wake Forest, 3-0 (18-25, 23-25, 21-25), on day two of the Deacon Invitational on Saturday afternoon.
With the loss ETSU falls to 0-2 on the season, while Wake Forest remains perfect with a 2-0 mark. The Demon Deacons defeated Coastal Carolina, 3-1, yesterday in their first match of the year.
In the first set, Wake Forest used some key runs to defeat the Bucs. First, with the scored tied at three, Wake Forest reeled off four straight points that was capped by a Carlin Salmon kill. Then, after a service error from Wake Forest to pull ETSU within four at 16-12, Wake scored five straight to extend the lead to 21-12. The Demon Deacons won the set after winning the last three points for the 25-18 margin.
Desiree Dyck (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan) for the second straight day led the ETSU offensive attack as she totaled 12 kills on the afternoon. Dyck had a team high .474 hitting percentage and also came away with three digs and an ace. Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.) also came away with double digit kills as she totaled 11 to go along with seven digs. For the second straight day, Kiley Tamblyn (Torrance, Calif.) finished with ten digs and she also came away with three assists and an ace. Senior setter Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.) dished out 29 assists and had two kills, seven digs, and two blocks.
ETSU got off to a quick 6-1 advantage out of the gate in the second set. Wake Forest stopped the momentum again as they scored four straight points to make the score 6-5. The Bucs continued to build their Set two lead to 19-12 after a Wake Forest attack error.
The Deacons then went on a 9-2 run to tie the score at 21-21, thanks in large part to three kills from Kadija Fornah. After Wake rallied to tie the score, ETSU scored two straight points to take a late-set advantage but they could not hold on as Wake scored the last four points to win the set.
The Demon Deacons got off to a quick 4-0 lead in the third set. Kristen White helped kick start the advantage by collecting two aces. ETSU pushed back and eventually took their first lead of the set at 8-7 after a Tamblyn ace. The teams went back and forth until the score went 15-15. Three straight hitting errors by the Bucs gave Wake the lead that they would never relinquish.
The Bucs close out the Deacon Invitational this evening with a match against Coastal Carolina at 4:30 p.m.

Ole McDonnells have a store: When customers come into Ole McDonnell's Country Store in Newburg, they find themselves humming an old nursery rhyme.
Customers are walking into what Carla and Stephen McDonnell hope will become a legacy to pass down to their children, just as nursery rhymes are passed down to generations.
The couple decided to take a chance and buy the store in early August. They opened the very next day. An official store opening was held in late September.
"We wanted our own little legacy to leave behind. We've always wanted to do something. We just never found it until we found this," Carla McDonnell said.
Stephen McDonnell, 51, works in construction as a pile driver, but Carla McDonnell left her job as chief administrative officer at a local landscaping company to run the store full time.
The McDonnell's children, Crystal Jackson, 31, and James McDonnell, 25, help out with whatever needs to be done in the store.
"We all play all of [the roles at the store]," Carla McDonnell, 50, said.
Jackson handles marketing and runs the cash register, as well as works in the store's deli. James McDonnell helps Stephen McDonnell with repairs and runs the cash register. The store also has two full-time employees and a part-time employee to help out.
Not your typical grocery store: The building Ole McDonnell's is in previously was Goldsmith's Country Store. Carla McDonnell said the owner was ready to retire, so the McDonnells seized the opportunity.
Ole McDonnell's has expanded hours and additional products. Open for breakfast, lunch and early dinner, customers are welcome to sit at a table with a beer and watch television and play Keno.
"We want to bring it up to the whole community feeling like it's a place they can go like they feel at home, like the old-time country stores used to be," Carla McDonnell said. "Where you could walk in, and everybody is family. We don't want it to be a typical grocery store you go in, and you don't know who the people are. We want people to come in and feel like they are part of the family."
What's in the name? In choosing the store's name, Carla McDonnell said the family let the community choose between Ole McDonnell's, MomMaw's Country Store or C&S Country Store [for Carla and Stephen] and vote on Facebook.
"Ole McDonnell's won by a landslide," said Jackson, who works in human resources for Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative. She said working in the store does not feel like a job.
The McDonnells also ask customers what merchandise they want available in the store, such as which kinds of beer and food products. Ole McDonnell has convenience store items, as well as McCutcheon's jellies, beer and wine, a deli that serves hot and cold sandwiches, Hunt Brothers Pizza, chicken wings, stuffed hams, pumpkin rolls, fried chicken and handmade country sausage.
Community-minded: Born and raised in Cobb Island, the McDonnells and their children have a goal for the store to reach into the community they have been part of for many years.
"We eventually want to help in our community and not just be a store," Carla McDonnell said. She said the store someday could help local fire departments with fundraising and already helps to cater at local schools.
Carla McDonnell said she loves "seeing all the kids that my kids grew up with are now grown ups, and they have their own kids and families, and I love seeing them all come in here."

Watching Red Bull dominate the past few seasons has not been easy for Lewis Hamilton, but he is determined to change that this campaign...
Watching Red Bull dominate the past few seasons has not been easy for Lewis Hamilton, but he is determined to change that during the 2014 campaign.
With Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull squad winning the double the last four years, Hamilton and the rest of the grid were left fighting over the scraps.
However, if pre-season testing is anything to go by then things will be very different this season with Mercedes the team to beat and Red Bull struggling to get their act together.
"One team destroying it for four years, having your ass whupped so badly, is not good for the sport," Hamilton told BBC Sport during an interview.
"You want a Championship that goes to the wire. I hope the changes enable that to happen this year."
Since winning his one and only title in 2008, Hamilton has finished no higher than fourth in the Drivers' Championship, but he is confident he is in for a good season.
"I feel I am the best prepared and I'm equipped with the tools I need to be even better than I have been in the past," he said.
He added: "I'm secretively more fired up than ever. Every year after the winter tests, you get to the first race and people say, 'How do you feel?' And you say, 'I feel the best I've ever felt, the fittest I've ever been, blah, blah, blah.'
"Naturally you train through the winter to be in that place but you don't always have the package to show all that work.
"Every now and then you get a year where you're able to use it. I'm hoping when we get to Australia it is that year and we're able to show we've got the package to back it up with.
"I feel ready. I have strong opponents, but I'm excited."
As for the ones to watch out for this season, he admits the usual suspects like Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren will challenge, but he is also "excited" about Williams.
"Fundamentally, I think Red Bull still have an amazing car," he said. "Hopefully we'll have a better engine than them, which will help a lot.
"Ferrari seem strong. They will undoubtedly be strong competitors.
"More surprising is people like Williams. They've now got our engine and they now have a competitive package and I think they're going to be a real head-turner this year. I'm really excited for them.
"And McLaren are back, so it's going to be a great battle."

The US and Canada are in for a real battle this autumn.
Think of it as a battle of the heavyweights. In the north corner of the ring, it's the Arctic Oscillation. Its punishing blows can knock you out cold. In the west corner lurks the El Niño. Don't let the name, which means "little boy", fool you. He can come roaring out with a cold punch to the South and hot and heavy in the North.
The El Niño is weak but may pack a warm punch later. SOURCE: NASA Earth Observatory
Oh, and just to make the battle even more interesting – in the east corner is the hot Atlantic. This battler has been the past champion, dominating the ring, baking the US with scorching hot temperatures. The champion is not going to give up easily.
On Saturday, September 22, the opening bell rang and autumn starts. The battle to see which forces shape this fall's weather will begin. In short, the hot dry summer is finally dragging to a close and a stormier fall is about to begin.
Let's pretend that there is a ringside announcer. He is sizing up Round 1 – the opening week of autumn.
- The Champion, the hot Atlantic still controls the ring. The US is still warm and dry, but it looks like he is getting tired. Some cooler temperatures are entering the South.
- The cold Arctic Oscillation is entering the ring. Those winds that trap polar air north are weakening and some cooler air is surging into the Great Lakes and the Midwest. Already we are seeing snowflakes over the Great Lakes. The AO won't do much this round, but he is shaping up to be a real contender. This winter will be colder than last winter.
Last year had a warm positive Arctic Oscillation, but this year a negative AO may bring in the cold. SOURCE: NOAA
- The El Niño has not officially begun. (Scientists wait a number of weeks for temperatures in the tropical Pacific to remain warmer than 0.9˚F before they officially declare an El Niño has begun.) We are seeing only a few small blows from the "little boy". He's bringing some rain to Texas and the Southern Plains. Expect him to start growing stronger and peaking in November and December.
Expect an epic battle and a very messy fall. The warm waters of the two oceans will clash with cold winds from the north. It's hard to know which weather factor will triumph. However, if the US gets some rain and cooler temperatures, we will all be the winners.

Never tried them for disc golf and at the price its a remake. but they wont attach to your bag the way other straps do. might have to rig something up. There isn't much if any padding on the shoulders. I think you would be better off buying straps meant for disc golf.

Did you receive an e-reader, tablet, or computer this holiday season or decide to buy one for yourself? Are you considering purchasing one in 2012? Then look no further to hear about one of the fastest-growing trends in America, e-books, and how to download them for free!
How to download an e-book! from Davenport Public Library on Vimeo.
Let's start with the basics. What exactly is an e-book (electronic book)? According to the Wall Street Journal, "an electronic book (also e-book, ebook, digital book) is a text- and image-based publication in digital form produced on, published by, and readable on computers or other digital devices." If you are thinking about buying an e-reader or tablet, make sure to do your research! There are many different types and brands on the market, and some can do much more than display e-books. So before you spend the money, know what you want. The Davenport library has resources to help!
Once you have your e-book reading device, decide where to go to download books. Like the variety of reading devices, e-books can be downloaded from a multitude of outlets. The popularity of e-readers and other portable electronic reading devices has caused the popularity of e-books to soar, making them readily available almost anywhere online. According to a news story done by WKRG-TV news reporter Lauren Styler, "as we reported earlier in June, Amazon.com is now selling more e-books than paper books." She also reported at a later date, "researcher Mark Mahaney predicts that eBooks will surpass printed book sales altogether within three years." This popularity has also caused the price of e-books to increase. Some e-books now cost almost as much as the same printed copy, making e-books an expensive commodity if you're not careful.
However, you don't need to spend a lot of money to download e-books. As a matter of fact, you don't have to spend any money at all. Just like you can check out books at your local library for free, you can also check-out e-books online from your library for free. Libraries across the country, including local Quad-City libraries, offer downloadable e-books for checkout. How do you check out an e-book online? First, know what type of device you have. Second, download and install the free software, which can be accessed through our website at www.davenportlibrary.com, click on downloadable e-books, WILBOR, and then the quick start guide. It will walk you through the step-by-step process which is as easy as 1-2-3! You can also scan the QR code in our ad or from our website, where our reference librarian will walk you through the process.
For more information, please contact the Davenport Public Library's reference department at 563-326-7832.
Happy reading!

I feel like venting from a serious issue, ie. Fiedler.....this is the place to come to do so. If you are botherd by the harshness of the content then just dont read the thread.
The lack of O for this team is a serious issue, we are not very good period, and Jay has to take the heat. He has a choice.... either get better or listen to the criticisim. He is paid a lot of money, I feel this is the perfect place to dicuss the issue it's not like we are complaining just to complain. I think name calling is unnecessary, but the topic is not.
I feel sometimes when the MODS step in it is unnecessary.

Germany has played an important part in European history, as is clearly shown by the thousands of museums, castles and other historic buildings that can be found throughout the country. After a division lasting almost 30 years, East and West Germany were reunited in 1989.
Berlin has much to offer, especially to those interested in culture and history, with its 150 theatres, 175 museums and magnificent buildings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Bremen is the third most populous city of Northern Germany. . It is also the main parts manufacturing hub of Airbus for the International Space Station (ISS), and home to the world's best-selling German beer, Beck's.
The city of Frankfurt is not only the financial centre of Germany and Europe, it also has a great deal to offer tourists.
Hamburg is a true cultural metropolis. It has over 30 theatres, 6 playhouses and 50 museums. It is therefore well worth a visit.
Tourists from all over the world visit Hannover to see the sights of the capital of Lower Saxony.
Munich has a great deal to offer people of all ages who are interested in history, art or architecture. One of the main attraction are the famous beer gardens.
Charmingly situated in the heart of one of Germany's largest wine-growing regions, this vibrant metropolis fascinates visitors from all over the world.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Matt Joyce clubbed a grand slam and Tampa Bay held on for a 7-4 win over Boston in a game that turned ugly in the ninth inning Friday night at Fenway Park.
These two AL East rivals have a tense history between them and there were some more heated moments.
Boston's Dustin Pedroia was hit by a pitch in the back in the sixth inning from Burke Badenhop. In the top of the ninth, Franklin Morales retaliated by pegging Luke Scott in the right knee.
"Boys will be boys," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said.
Scott and Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalmacchia had a minor shoving match and the dugouts cleared with both sides verbally jawing at each other.
Rays manager Joe Maddon was visibly upset after the game.
"I didn't understand the situation whatsoever," he said. "It wasn't called for at all. It's the kind of behavior that gets people hurt. Pedroia gets hit, not because we're trying to hit him. That's truly somebody flexing their muscles on the other side and they need to put it in their back pocket.
"Trust me, it's not us. They're the ones that were probably behind the weak, cowardly effort on their part.
"We don't initiate anything. That's not what we're about."
Joyce hit a slam for the second time in six games. Elliot Johnson added a two- run homer, and Carlos Pena followed with a shot over the wall in right in the fourth inning.
Alex Cobb (2-0) allowed one earned run over five innings and Fernando Rodney retired the side in order in the ninth for his 15th save to seal Tampa Bay's third straight win.
Jon Lester (3-4) was lit up for six hits and seven runs over four innings.
Mike Aviles scored on a Kevin Youkilis single in the opening inning, but the Rays went ahead in the third. A walk to Pena, base hit by B.J. Upton and a walk to Ben Zobrist loaded the bases with two outs, and Joyce followed with his fourth career grand slam, a shot into the bullpen beyond the wall in right.
After Johnson's homer over the Green Monster, Pena hit a ball that barely cleared the short wall in right, just out of the reach of a leaping Marlon Byrd.
Scott Podsednik scored on Adrian Gonzalez's double in the fifth for a 7-2 game and the Red Sox got an RBI single by Byrd in the sixth, the first batter faced by Badenhop. Aviles lofted a sacrifice fly to center, and then Pedroia was hit in the back. With two men on base, Jake McGee entered and retired David Ortiz to end the inning.
The Rays have won 11 of the last 16 meetings...Rodney is 15-for-15 in save opportunities...Boston had a five-game home winning streak broken.

Miss New Hampshire stays calm during judges' grilling
Megan Lyman, the reigning Miss New Hampshire, said Tuesday that she had a surprising lack of nerves while being grilled by the judges during an interview portion of preliminary rounds of the 2013 Miss America Scholarship Competition.
"I was very calm, actually," Lyman said about Monday's interview session. "I surprised myself by how calm I was."
Lyman is in Las Vegas this week with 52 other competitors from states and U.S. territories vying for the crown. No competitor from New Hampshire has ever won the competition.
Tuesday night was set for the talent portion of the preliminary rounds, and Lyman planned to tap dance. To Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory."
She said she realizes using the pop superstar, known for her outlandish costumes and stage shows, as her background music is a risky move for the straitlaced competition.
"A little bit (risky)," she said. "But we wanted something that was a new, fresh song."
0reach her goal. Votes for Lyman to be America's Choice for the 2013 Miss America competition are being accepted through Thursday. To vote, go to missamerica.org/videocontest or to the video contest Facebook tab at www.facebook.com/missamericaorganization.
The Miss America Competition is held from Monday through Saturday at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. Preliminary nights are Tuesday, today and Thursday and start at 7 p.m.
The final night of competition will be broadcast live on ABC television from 9 to 11 p.m.

Bear cub goes on feeding frenzy in Sonoita home
SONOITA, AZ - A Sonoita couple who thought their visiting grandchildren were up early instead found a bear cub on a feeding frenzy in their kitchen.
Phil Volk says the cub was eating its way through the kitchen when he spotted it early Thursday. It finished off a chocolate cake on the counter. Then it went through the trash can before finding the pantry. Chips, bread and jelly beans were next.
The bear hissed at Volk and then took refuge in a bedroom.
Volk tells the Arizona Daily Star his wife urged him to call 911. An Arizona Game and Fish spokeswoman says an agent tranquilized the 30-pound cub and took it to the Heritage Park Zoo in Prescott because its mother was nowhere to be found.

The hostel itself was one of the best my girlfriend and I stayed in in South america.it felt more like a hotel than a hostel and was a very relaxing space to chill out in. The hostel is full of European and Canadian staff who have moved to Venezuelan Which makes life easier and safer. Robert and Eric are extremely helpful and are often around. Eric can speak four or five languages. Only downside is some of the locally employed staff are rude. Felt very safe in the area as well. Visit!

Where are you from?
I guess this depends on what you define as a hometown. I was born and raised (until 5th grade) outside of Denver, Colo. Then I moved to Greenwood, Ind. from 6th grade on. I got my undergraduate degree at Hanover College, in Hanover, Ind. Then I moved back to Colorado for graduate school at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I spent eight years there (graduate school, post-doc and two years as a professional) before taking a job with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Md., in June, 2009. Now I live in Washington, D.C.
Who inspired you?
My dad. He is a Ph.D. scientist and college professor (Geology, Earth Science and Astronomy), so throughout my childhood he was always there to encourage my scientific curiosity and answer my questions in all areas of science. We would always do home-based science projects and experiments, and also look up and research answers to how things worked. As a kid, I had a wild imagination.
You have two job titles. First, what is a Research Astrophysicist?
As a Research Astrophysicist, I get to conduct a lot of research, and study science. This research is not limited to the sun, but most of my time is spent doing research (data analysis) from existing satellite measurements, and trying to answer questions using these data. As more questions come up as a result of our research, I then work on developing new rocket and satellite instruments to try to answer these questions. This is where the groundbreaking science happens.
Second, what is a Deputy Project Scientist for the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)?
As a Deputy Project Scientist, I coordinate science data coming down from the three instruments on SDO and make sure the satellite itself is meeting all of its requirements (telemetry rates, data storage and dispersal, spacecraft health, etc.). This is fun, because I get to meet a lot of great scientists and I am learning a lot about different types of instruments that I haven't had the chance to work with before. It has been an amazing learning experience in both science and management.
Tell us about a favorite moment so far in your career?
A favorite moment in my career has to be my first sounding rocket launch as a graduate student. I was hired to do data analysis for a satellite instrument (TIMED/SEE) and help out with a sounding rocket in support of that satellite. At 22 years old, I was building something that was actually going to be launched into space and had full responsibility of some aspects of it with the trust of my mentor, Dr. Tom Woods at the University of Colorado. When it launched on the 12th of August, 2003, I was watching from a mile away. Everything worked perfectly, and I was hooked. I couldn't wait to get back and analyze the data. I dreamed of having my own rocket in the future. In my short career, I have worked on six sounding rockets and one satellite, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which launched in early 2010. On all of these projects, I have played a significant role in building and testing the instruments on them.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to take the same career path as you?
Take it! Although the space business is hard work, the rewards are more than worth it. You will discover things that no one has ever thought of before, and do things that no one has ever done before. There is no other job like it out there. There will be some disappointments along the way that come with the job and in the schooling and training leading up to it (I've definitely had my share), but it makes the successes seem that much greater. So, don't get discouraged along the path, and keep working as hard as you can. Also, take as many science, math, and engineering courses as possible. Even if they may not seem to be relevant at the time, they are all worthwhile.
What do you do for fun?
There are many things (yes, I do have a life outside of work)! I love camping and hiking, and although I miss doing this in the Rockies there are still plenty of great places in the East now that I have moved out here. I also play a lot of sports and exercise for fun, including rugby, basketball, golf, running, weightlifting, and biking. These help me relieve a lot of stress that comes with the job. I also like to play guitar. Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, and Dispatch are a few of the bands I like to cover. I have tried writing my own songs, but they end up being very bad, depressing country songs, so instead, I will focus my creative thoughts on designing the next new solar observing rocket instrument.
If you were talking to a student interested in science and math or engineering, what advice would you give them?
Work hard and you can do ANYTHING you want to do. This world is based on science, math and engineering. If you are skilled in any of these subjects, or better yet a combination of the three, you can do whatever you want. I was never the smartest person, but I worked hard and have degrees in Physics and Math (undergraduate) and Aerospace Engineering (M.S. and Ph.D.), and it is the combination of these that have led me to become an experimental scientist. I know the science, I know the math, and I know how to build things. I am also working at a NASA center and leading the development of the next generation of satellite and rocket instruments to push the frontiers of science.
