I watched this last night. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
I just finished the series Countdown to Armageddon from Dan Carlin. It was extraordinary, an amazing account of World War One.

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons have lined up South African prop Brok Harris to solve their tighthead problem but need the green light from the Welsh Rugby Union before they can complete the deal, writes Chris Kirwan.
Dragons have long been searching for a seasoned campaigner to be the cornerstone of their scrum and 29-year-old Harris, who can also play loosehead, appears to fit the bill.
The 6ft, 18st 5lb prop has over a century of Western Province appearances to his name and has turned out for the Stormers 93 times in Super Rugby since making his debut in 2007, nine of them coming in the current campaign.
The Rodney Parade region have held negotiations with his representatives and the prop is keen to head to Wales but the WRU have to give the go-ahead.
The Dragons, who have already been given permission to sign Cheetahs lock Ligtoring Landman, have a hearing with the governing body at the start of next month in which they will put forward their case for bringing in an overseas player.
The region believe they have a strong argument but it is not a given that Harris will be given the stamp of approval and the Scarlets have already had an application turned down this summer.
The Dragons have struggled at tighthead since Wales international Rhys Thomas left for Llanelli in 2009.
New Zealander Ben Castle failed to fill the void and things got so bad last season that the region tempted former England and Bath front-rower Duncan Bell out of retirement.
The 39-year-old proved to be a real hit but it was only a temporary measure and director of rugby Lyn Jones has already brought in a pair of fresh options for the right-hand side of the scrum in 29-year-old former Leicester and Gloucester prop Dave Young and 22-year-old Welsh-qualified Lloyd Fairbrother from Exeter.
The Dragons also have Dan Way and highly-rated prospect Alex Jeffries, a Wales Under-18 international who has already made 29 appearances for Newport at the age of 19, on their books.

text: A few months ago I took this screen shot when I noticed the AO page had "Hi Mom" on the page. This wasn't anything I could find a reason for, and I'm not sure if it's a defacement, or one of the admins being bored. I finally got the size of it down so I could post it here, as before, well, for one I couldn't find the pic and when I did it was to big to upload, and I know it's quite old, because I was using XP, which was at least 6 months ago or so. So it's quite old but I never did find out what the hell it was.

man by birth and also in principle he received a full collegiate education at the cooper institute in mississippi and from there he went to the cumberland university at lebanon tenn where he graduated in the theo logical department in 1870 he then returned to mississippi and as his first pastorate took charge of the cumber land presbyterian church at tupelo in that state jle retained the pastorate of this church for two years and dur ing that time erected a handsome church edifice and added many to his eongi edition he was then called as pastor to the cumberland presbyterian church at columbia tenn and during a period of two years that lie remained there he held a number of revivals at which many were converted he was called to the cumberland pre.sbvterian church of nashville tenn as assistant pastor to the rev a..1 baird with the understanding that one-half of his time should be de voted to evangelistic work after one year of harmonious and satisfactory service in this capacity mr pearson de cided to devote himself to evangelistic work entirely and for the past six years has devoted him-elf constantly to that work at first his meetings were denominational but his labors were so blessed lhat he received repeated in vitations from churches of all denomi nations to hold union meetings which induced him to conduct non lenominatioiiar meetings during the time he has been engaged in this work he has labored in the following states lyiinessct kentucky indiana illinois missouri colorado texas mississippi and alabama and in the cities id nash ville evansville st louis

free from all the claptrap and trickery frequently resorted to by evangelists lie preaches the gospel in a plain but forcible and eloquent style as all who have attended his meetings in this city can testify and he seems to imbue his hearers with a portion of his own great earnestness in the work he is doing two years since he was offered the pastorate of cumberland presbyterian church of louisville ky but being di eply impressed with the conviction thai lie was called of god to do the work of an evangelist he declined the offer while he is a cumberland presbyte rian himself and

Magazine Holders
When tackling beginning-of-the-year organization, we always seem to leave the magazine purging to the very end. The thought of getting rid of even just one of our prized Domino's or Elle Decor's is simply too painful to face. That's why we've scouted out a few chic magazine holders that will keep your decor rags neat and tidy - and easy to access!
Even though many skeptics seem to think print will become obsolete in the near future, nothing takes away from the experience of flipping through a favorite magazine. Whether we're tabbing ideas or ripping out images for an inspiration board, we've definitely been known to shriek a tad too enthusiastically when our favorite mag arrives. Both of us have holders next to our sofas - but we're loving the side tables from MUJI and Target that feature hidden shelves as well. One thing is for certain, as long as print is still relevant, we will be coveting our treasured design magazines - and any of these fantastic holders will make for an organized home for your favorites as well.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: The Rev. Al Sharpton Nearly Dies On Live TV [Video]
Recently on his "Politics Nation" TV show (who knew he still had a TV show?!), the Rev. Al Sharpton was talking loudly about something and being mad.
And it appears as though he almost died on live television.
That noise that he makes seems like it was a cough, sneeze, hiccup and possibly a few other things all thrown into one.
It sounds pretty chunky. Gross.

Cost-effectiveness vs. universal health coverage. Is the future random?
I've been blogging a bit about Universal Health Coverage (UHC) recently. In my "old wine in a new bottle" post, I argued that UHC is ultimately about ensuring that rich and poor alike get the care they need, and that nobody suffers undue financial hardship from getting the care they need. In my "Mrs Gauri" post, I used my colleague Varun Gauri's mother as a guinea pig to see whether the general public feels that UHC is a morally powerful concept and whether it could be expressed in a way that the general public would find accessible.
My sense from Ms Gauri's comment on the post, is that the answer to both questions could well be Yes. So far so good.
Some bad news—resources are finite
But before we place orders for colorful placards and huge banners with my suggested slogans "Everyone should get the care they need!" and "End impoverishment due to health spending!", we should break some bad news to Ms Gauri and the rest of the general public: resources are finite, and especially in poor countries the available resources won't allow us to get to UHC anytime soon.

And Tattnall Square turned in a very familiar performance in rolling past Dominion Christian 41-8 on Friday night to give Hester his 300th career win.
The suspense was over early on as to whether the Trojans would deliver the milestone win as well as satisfy the homecoming crowd.
Hester had somewhat successfully downplayed talk of the accomplishment, until gameday and The Telegraph hit the driveway with a big feature on the impending milestone.
"I hadn't talked a lot about it, because I don't deal with that stuff," he said. "Then a big, big article comes out, you get up on Friday morning and see your dang mug shot on the page, it kind of brought it to light.
"I got several messages (Friday) and that's the one thing I said, Let's get this thing over with and just win."
As the final seconds ticked off on the humid night, Tattnall's coaches congratulated Hester, and the Trojans surrounded their coach as he tried to make his way to the handshake line.
At midfield, while thanking all of his former players and their parents, Hester was given a shiny pennant that had been produced with a picture of him and a listing of his accomplishments. He introduced his family and got a kiss from Mom, his mother Shirley coming up from Dublin for the first time in three or four years. And as that postgame huddle broke, an odd sight for a Friday night — a cake.
"Coach Ratliff asked me this week what I wanted to do about it," Hester said of athletics director and assistant coach Jeff Ratliff during his talk to players and fans. "I said, 'Coach, do what you got to do.' But this is pretty neat."
Equally neat for Hester and the Trojans was the ease with which they disposed of Dominion Christian, which Hester said was down a few starters because of injury.
"They scored 33 points on Stratford," Hester said of his rival's 55-33 win last week over the Knights, who were within 20-18 after a quarter. "It was close for a while."
The Trojans went 43 yards on 8 plays to score on their first possession, Andrew Layson going in from 2. Tattnall fumbled on its second possession, sent Dominion Christian backwards 22 yards, then scored on a 4-play, 30-yard drive that took less than 90 seconds, Andrew Parker getting the honors from the 2.
The Knights gave the ball back two plays later deep, and John Rader kept from 10 yards out on the first play.
Dominion Christian followed its initial first down with an interception by Gahrett Gaylord on the second play, and Rader rolled left and dumped it to Ryan Mosley, who got a block from Lance Manning and finished off the 69-yard touchdown for a 27-0 lead on the final play of the first quarter.
Big junior Arthur Williams, a 5-foot-10, 227-pounder listed as a noseguard and wearing No. 62, followed a 3-yard gain with a rumbling, tackle-breaking 41-yard score to finish a 5-play, 68-yard drive.
Tattnall followed another three-and-out with a three-play drive, Hunter Lanier and Williams getting 56 yards on the first two plays and Conner Alford going in from the 1 for a 41-0 lead with 5:48 remaining in the first half.
Dominion Christian lost 65 yards on 13 rushes while Tattnall had 27 carries for 246 yards in the first 24 minutes. The Knights finished with minus-13 rushing and the Trojans had 324 yards on the ground.
"I thought we took control of the line of scrimmage," Hester said. "We probably could have thrown it more. All these folks would like me to throw it more, but we win pretty good without throwing it a lot."
A well-rested Parker — the starters didn't break a sweat in the second half, at least not from playing — was naturally happy to be part of a team that handed Hester yet another milestone.
"It really wasn't that big a discussion out on the field," he said. "But in the locker room, we all talked about it, making sure that we got it for him. We wanted to be the class that got it."

State Sen. Ron Calderon should resign, immediately, before an emerging corruption and bribery scandal forces him from office in handcuffs. True, Calderon has yet to be charged with a crime. But the litany of allegations detailed in a 125-page federal affidavit leaked last week clearly indicate big charges will be coming quite soon.
The sealed affidavit obtained by cable TV channel Al Jazeera America alleges the senator and his brother have collected more than $1 million in payments in exchange for shaping legislation in the Capitol.
What an embarrassment for the people he supposedly represents, the heavily Latino southeast county communities of Norwalk, Pico Rivera, Montebello, Whittier, Bell and other areas. A compromised Calderon has no ability to serve them and needs to leave the Legislature now.
Calderon, protecting himself, has kept silent in the face of allegations so egregious that they could become part of California's biggest political scandal in decades. The family political dynasty he's central to has been dogged for decades by tawdry realities and worse rumors. But page after page of the affidavit paints the picture of a greedy politician hungry to pocket money from anyone who offers it, a man with no qualms about using the power of his office as a tool to advance favors entirely for his own financial gain, a man who shows a chilling readiness to be bought off with opulent gifts, a man who does not belong in public office.
The allegations don't point to a single incident in which Calderon somehow crumpled in weakness. There were long relationships Calderon allegedly went along with in a scheme to line his and family members' pockets.
The first problem involves the former owner of Pacific Hospital of Long Beach, Michael Drobot. The affidavit accuses Drobot of giving Thomas Calderon, the senator's brother, a $10,000 monthly consulting fee and $1 million in exchange for the brothers' help ensuring that a legal loophole in state law went unchanged.
That loophole allegedly allowed Drobot to take tens of millions of dollars in workers' compensation claims from the state.
Those accusations alone would be enough to ask for Calderon to step down. They are a distraction that prevents him from doing the job his constituents deserve. But it's only half the prosecutors' story.
The second part is the senator's relationship with an undercover FBI agent posing as independent movie executive Rocky Patel. Calderon allegedly took $60,000 in bribes from the agent — much of it funneled to his children — in exchange for pushing legislation giving breaks to Hollywood.
The allegations are so strong, the appearance of corruption so extensive that this appears to be not a single incident but rather a lifestyle for Calderon. It's been enough for state Senate leader Darrel Steinberg to remove Calderon from the California Film Commission.
For the sake of his constituents, Calderon must now relinquish the legislative seat he has so badly tarnished. It's the only honorable move left for him, a small dignity he could leave us with after the scandal he has dumped on Californians.

Last week, my mom's DNA results came back. I took one look at it and thought this can't be right. She is showing to be 1/2 Japanese.
I'm getting a little frustrated right now as 2 DNA tests have come back empty….no signs of Jewish heritage. Many thoughts are going through my head….Should I continue my search? Am I really part Jewish? Why do I care so much? etc. etc. etc.
I thought through some alternative methods to find and trace my Jewish ancestor. 23andme has a great online community. I started a thread re: Chinese people with some Jewish heritage. I got some great feedback from folks who are DNA experts. To my surprise, there is software that I can use to do additional/personal analysis on my raw DNA data.
Another method is to travel to China and do some field research, testing, and analysis. Friends have given me names of China Jew experts, Israeli China Jewish tour organizers, and last but not least, I have a cousin who works for the Chinese government who I can possibly ask for help.
I'm really passionate about this. Though frustrated with a few setbacks, I will not give up. Quitting something that I'm passionate about is not what I'm about. This journey will be continued……;)

Thomas Hart Benton painted this undulating scene in 1947, when America was riding a wave of postwar optimism. Of course, it is no coincidence that rivers are central to Benton's narrative! In mythology, the hero Hercules tamed the river god Achelous, who became an enraged bull during flood season. In restraining the bull, Hercules preserved the fertile river valleys and their crops.
In this mural, Benton conjures the nation's strength and energy in muscular male figures and in the surging movement of the composition. His bold colors and agricultural subject reflect the sense of abundance and opportunity that characterized postwar society. Can you identify another symbol of river taming in this painting? (Hint—it's a form of transportation.)

MALDEF Settles Historic School Desegregation Case
Texas desegregation case filed in 1970 on behalf of children and parents from Uvalde public schools
September 16, 2008
SAN ANTONIO, TX – On Monday, a federal district court in San Antonio signed a Consent Order memorializing a settlement agreement reached between the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (the District) and Mexican American students and their parents represented by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF). In June of 2007, the District asked the court to dismiss it from the court's supervision, which dated back to a 1976 desegregation decree. The plaintiffs, through their original class representative Ms. Genoveva Morales, opposed the motion and the parties eventually settled the case in mediation.
"This Consent Order recognizes the strides made by the District over the years to desegregate, but it also provides a specific plan to completely root out the continuing effects of discrimination in a number of areas," said MALDEF lead counsel David Hinojosa. "Both the District's leadership and Ms. Morales should be commended for their efforts to settle this case and bring the District into a new era of change and opportunity for Latino students."
In 1970, Ms. Morales filed a class action on behalf of all Latino children and their parents to end the segregation of Latino students in the public schools of Uvalde (located approximately 80 miles west of San Antonio). The lawsuit came at the height of the Latino civil rights movement and on the heels of a nationally publicized walkout by Latino students. After a trial in 1973, the district court found no illegal segregation, but the Fifth Circuit reversed, finding segregation still existed over twenty years after Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed school segregation. The district court then entered a decree, ordering the District to desegregate.
"I am pleased to reach this agreement with the District, because not only will Latino students benefit from it, but in turn, the whole community of Uvalde will benefit," said Genoveva Morales, now 79 years young. "It has been a long struggle but we are seeing progress. Although my children are now grown, it is time for other Latino parents and their children to take advantage of this opportunity."
The Consent Order also retains court supervision for a period of at least three years and provides specific remedies to further desegregate the District in the areas of bilingual education, faculty, gifted and talented, advanced placement and pre-advanced placement, extracurricular and co-curricular activities, and student achievement. The Consent Order grants dismissal in the areas of student assignments, non-faculty staff, facilities and transportation.

Ten Second Review
Renault's Kadjar is the second small SUV in the French maker's range, slotting in just above the super-mini based Captur crossover. It shares a platform with sister company Nissan's highly successful Qashqai but, with an emphasis on comfort, connectivity and safety, the Kadjar creates its own identity in a highly competitive market. It will appeal to those who are looking for something a little more stylish but who still need space for up to four passengers and for all the kit they'll be lugging around. Arguably, it makes most sense in volume 1.5 dCi 110 diesel guise.
Renault has always sought to bring something a little different to the party. Some of its past designs haven't quite hit the mark but in recent times the company has rediscovered its mojo and delivered a contemporary brand of design language that's proved very popular with European car buyers. Now the Parisian producer as turned its attention to one of the fastest growing segments, the family Crossover. This is the result. It's called the 'Kadjar' which, tenuously, links the French words for "Quad" - as in four wheel drive - and "Agility". It also comes in two-wheel drive, as in the case of the base diesel 1.5-litre dCi 110 model we're going to look at here.
Driving Experience
The Renault Kadjar is as accomplished on the road as you might expect from a car sharing the Qashqai's underpinnings. It is built for comfort rather than performance but that's no bad thing, given that this is a family crossover. The simple engine choices give sufficient flexibility should your preference be for low running costs, decent performance or an automatic transmission, while the option of 'Intelligent four-wheel drive' should give you the confidence to head off the beaten track should the need arise. We should point out that you don't get the 4WD option on the base diesel 1.5-litre dCi 110 variant we're looking at here. Still, that won't unduly bother most Crossover buyers, few of whom will want to shoulder the extra cost and weight of an all-wheel traction system. The 1.5-litre unit used here is a willing unit, though obviously not quite as torquey as the 130bhp 1.6-litre dCi diesel we recently tested, so it won't be as appropriate if you're looking to do some towing. The 62mph sprint from rest in the 1.5 occupies 11.9s en route to 113mph, which should be enough for most.
Design and Build
So. What do we have here? A Nissan Qashqai with a Renault re-style? Or something more? The Kadjar certainly shares much with its Japanese design stablemate, primarily its 'CMF' 'Common Module Family' platform and most of its engine technology. Many though, will think this to be a more sleekly-styled car and it's certainly a more practical one, with a rear overhang lengthened to deal with the Qashqai's biggest problem, a lack of bootspace. The result is an appealing package that at first glance, seems to deliver everything that a modern Crossover of this kind should offer. The fascia is neatly executed with decent materials choices, but there's nothing about it that immediately smacks of Renault. Some might see that as a good thing given some of the wacky cabins Renault has delivered in recent memory, and there's nothing here that's going to put off those looking for a smart and presentable driving environment. The boot is a useful 42-litres bigger than a Qashqai's at 472-litres to the tonneau cover. You get handles that drop the rear seats in their 60/40 split, an organiser that prevents your shopping spilling all over the boot when you corner and a split level load floor. There's also 30-litres of oddments storage around the cabin and the front passenger seat can even be folded to use as an impromptu table.
Market and Model
Kadjar pricing sits in the £18,000 to £27,000 bracket - in other words, exactly what you'd pay for most other family-sized Crossover models of this kind. For many buyers, the real range starting point will be at around £20,000, given the premium of nearly £2,000 necessary to progress from the entry-level 1.2-litre TCe 130 petrol unit to the volume 1.5-litre dCi 110 diesel that most will want - the car we're looking at here. Both powerplants can be mated to Renault's smooth-shifting EDC automatic transmission if you're prepared to find an extra £1,200. If it's a diesel you want and you're prepared to stretch to mid-range trim, then you'll have the option of finding a further £1,200 to upgrade yourself to the pokier 1.6-litre dCi 130 diesel. It's this 1.6-litre unit that you have to have if you want your Kadjar with 4WD, all-wheel traction offered at a £1,500 premium.
Cost of Ownership
Despite sharing the same platform and using similar engines to its Nissan Qashqai cousin, the Renault Kadjar is around 2.5% more efficient. Renault has shaved 4kg off the kerb weight and this car benefits in terms of its combined fuel economy and carbon emissions. A 'Stop & Start' system cuts the engine while the car is stationary, making each drop of fuel count. The most efficient Kadjar is the 1.5-diesel we're looking at here, this car returning a combined 74.3mpg and emitting just 99g/km CO2. Thanks to the Efficient Dual-Clutch auto gearbox system Renault uses, there is no compromise in efficiency between manual and automatic options. What else? In terms of insurance groups, this 1.5-litre diesel-engined variant sits in group 14E or 15E. The larger 1.6-litre diesel model is in 17E or 18E depending on trim level. To put that into perspective, the Kadjar may be more expensive to insure than the equivalent Mitsubishi Outlander, but cover should be cheaper than the Mazda CX-5 and Peugeot's 3008. You can expect class-leading residual values, too, with independent valuation experts 'CAP' estimating the Kadjar will retain around 43% of its value after the first three years. This comes down to the over package of low insurance costs, reasonable sale price and competitive economy. As with all Renault's, the Kadjar comes with a four year/ 100,000mile warranty and complimentary Roadside Assistance.

Cousteau: Why I'm going to live in an underwater village
MainSail is CNN's monthly sailing show, exploring the sport of sailing, luxury travel and the latest in design and technology.
(CNN) -- Speaking to Fabien Cousteau is like plunging into dreamlike darkness. The sunlight falls away as you dive deeper and deeper underwater with him, and you can't help but hold your breath a little as he describes the alien creatures hovering at the edge of vision.
I needn't fear. Fabien is a master aquanaut -- and the grandson of legendary diver Jacques Cousteau.
His American accent, with soft French undertones, guides me 20 meters below the surface of the water until we rest our imaginary flippers at a very special spot on the ocean floor -- 14 kilometers off the coast of Florida Keys.
It's cold down here, around 35 degrees Fahrenheit. The enormous water pressure -- three times the atmosphere on land -- bears down on us, filling our veins with nitrogen and creating the feeling of being ever so slightly drunk.
As our eyes adjust to the gloom, twinkling yellow lights reveal a steel capsule the size of a school bus, with small portholes providing a glimpse of the scientists working inside.
Welcome to "Aquarius", the only underwater laboratory in the world, and Fabien's home for a record-breaking 31 days.
Read: Titanic director's mission to the ocean floor
Cousteau's legacy
Fifty years after his famous grandfather, Jacques Cousteau, spent 30 days living in an underwater village at the bottom of the Red Sea, Fabien will follow in his footsteps with a similar project twice as deep and one day longer.
In 1963, Cousteau elder turned science fiction into reality when he and a team of five divers lived in an underwater habitat -- named "Conshelf II" -- researching the effects of deep sea living.
The pioneering experiment found cuts and grazes healed quicker and hair grew slower. New species of animals were discovered and Cousteau's haunting video diary was turned into an Oscar winning documentary, "World Without Sun."
"I hope we recapture the magic, mystery and beauty of the ocean which my grandfather was able to offer the world for so many decades," said Fabien, who takes the plunge on September 30.
Mission 31
This will be a new era of ocean exploration as the team of six aquanauts -- dubbed "Mission 31" -- examine not just the physical and psychological effects of underwater living, but the impact of climate change.
They will use space-age motorcycles to cruise the ocean floor nine hours a day, examining marine life, coral reefs, and ocean acidity -- which is linked to carbon emissions in the air.
Read: Ghostly sailors and sweethearts come to life
"It's very much in the same spirit of adventure and exploration as in my grandfather's day," said 45-year-old Cousteau. "But by default we're living in a time where human impact is directly related to the ocean's health."
"The ocean contains 99% of the planet's total living space. That said, we know so little about it -- just 5% has been explored."
Underwater "Truman Show"
While audiences in the 1960s had to wait for Jacques Cousteau's groundbreaking documentary to hit cinemas, this time round we'll be able to follow Fabien every step of the way, thanks to rolling coverage on the Weather Channel, Skype video calls to classrooms around the world, Twitter and Facebook updates, and ultimately an IMAX film.
This isn't just a new age of environmental frontiers, but media management, as "Aquarius" also welcomes celebrities on board, including Virgin business magnate Richard Branson and pop singer will.i.am.
"We'll have millions of eyeballs looking at us -- a bit like an underwater Truman Show," said Cousteau.
"Inside, it looks much like a submarine, with bunk beds, a kitchenette and a laboratory. It actually gets very warm in the habitat -- almost as humid as the Amazon River."
Risky business
This will be the longest stint researchers have spent on Aquarius -- the previous record was 18 days -- and the ambitious mission will not be without risk. Diver Dewey Smith died after his equipment malfunctioned outside the lab in 2009.
The team will spend 15 days in extreme training, including diving 20 meters underwater, taking off their masks, being spun around to lose their bearings and then swimming back to the habitat.
Read: stranded at sea? Seven survival tips
"The point of training is to make sure we're prepared for every situation," said Cousteau, who has been diving since he was four.
"Once your veins are fully saturated in nitrogen you won't be able to go back to the surface because of the decompression sickness -- we'll have to slowly come back up over 24 hours."
Magic realm
For Cousteau, who grew up playing on the salt-stained deck of his grandfather's boat, the ocean is a bewitching realm -- and one he wants to share with a world which has seen more people travel into deep space than deep sea.
"Being in the water is a dream, it's part fantasy," he says. "It still holds so much magic and mystery and I can only imagine what kind of sea creatures will be coming up to us during those experiments in the dark."
"My grandfather said people protect what they love. But how can you protect what you don't understand?"

Canadian illustrator Tom McNeely is a gifted painter. His preferred medium is watercolour.
During the more than fifty years of his career however, Tom often worked in a variety of line art styles, from the very sketchy reportage style shown in yesterday's post, to a variety of loose, textural, or technical styles.
Sometimes Tom would experiment with linear treatments that might better reflected the mood of the article he was illustrating...
Sometimes he experimented simply to satisfy his naturally restless creativity.
What has always impressed me most is Tom's ability to marry a lively energetic quality to the accuracy of excellent draftsmanship. Here are a few more examples with an appropriately "summer fun" theme.

DES MOINES, Iowa The jackpot for Powerball's Saturday drawing has climbed to $325 million, the fourth-largest in the game's history.
A single winner choosing a cash payout would get nearly $213 million before paying state and federal taxes.
Powerball jackpots have been growing faster since the game's organizers doubled the ticket price to $2 in January.
An Iowa couple won $202 million in a Sept. 26 drawing, and then an anonymous winner in Delaware got $50 million prize the next week. The current jackpot has been building since then.
Powerball, which began in 1992, is played in 42 states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands.

For some players, a demotion to the fourth line means something's wrong and playing time will be scarce, especially when that player's team is in the Eastern Conference Final.
But for Bruins forward Rich Peverley, his drop down the depth chart has only been sporadic because he's been shifted throughout the lineup the last two games and continues to be a key contributor on special teams.
"You've just got to be prepared. When you're on the fourth line, you don't expect to get too much ice time," said the veteran, who spent a number of shifts up on the third line during the Bruins' 3-1 Game 5 win last night over Tampa Bay. "But I think you've got to be prepared, especially in the playoffs, because you can't go in and have cold nights. You've got to be raring and ready."
Previously, Peverley also skated on the second line late in Boston's Game 4 loss, as head coach Claude Julien tried to find a winning combination. The return of Patrice Bergeron to health for Game 3 forced fourth-line winger Shawn Thornton to the sidelines and Peverley to the line with Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille, at least to start games.
With Peverley winning five of six faceoffs in Game 5 and also helping the penalty kill produce a perfect 4-for-4 performance (he was one of the quartet of players on the ice for almost an entire first-period kill), Peverley is proving to be Julien's multi-talented weapon.
"I mean this is a guy who deserves the ice time he got tonight," said Julien, who skated Peverley a personal series-high of 14 minutes in the win. "And late in the game, on that third line, they were starting to throw [Martin] St. Louis, they were starting to throw [Vincent] Lecavalier. They were trying to take advantage of maybe the lack of experience in Tyler [Seguin]. So I had to put Peverley out there at that point and make sure that we had some experience against some of those guys.
"But this is where Pevs becomes a real useful player. Because he did a great job on the penalty kill and he jumped in there on the third power play that we had. He was used for faceoffs that he was very good at tonight. And that's what I mean, you can't just put a guy like him basically on the fourth line and just give him a few minutes. You see him in different places and sometimes it's for faceoffs, and he served us really well tonight. He played a real solid game."
Peverley was also on the ice at the end of the game and sealed the victory with an empty-net goal. Chris Kelly and Bergeron were also part of an all-center, all two-way trio of forwards on the ice for Julien.
"One thing I wanted to do, I didn't know if there would be an icing, which side the faceoff would be on," explained Julien today. "We had two right centermen and the left, and I thought that was important. But at the same time, even more importantly was the fact that those guys have good speed. They were really, really good at putting pressure on Tampa so that they couldn't get themselves going and getting in our own end as quick as they would have liked to.
"And I thought they did a great job at even the interchange for the neutral zone, when the one guy forechecked and moved to the other side, they did a great job of interchanging. And we kept the pressure on those guys. So I really liked the job they did at the end. I thought that was really important for us."
Peverley has played wing and center. He even got into a fight in Game 4. There seems to be no end to what he can do to help the Bruins.
Who knows what he'll have in store for Boston in Game 6 tomorrow night, as they Bruins go for the clinch and a trip to the Stanley Cup Final.

BRUSSELS, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says reports that America would have as many as 12,000 troops in Afghanistan after 2014 are incorrect.
Speaking at a news conference while in Brussels for a NATO meeting on, among other things, Afghanistan, Panetta declared as inaccurate media reports that the German defense minister indicated Panetta said the United States would keep 8,000-12,000 troops in Afghanistan after the military mission ends at the end of next year.
"We did discuss a range of options," Panetta said. "And what we discussed was a range of options that would be directed to the NATO force overall, which includes both the U.S. force contribution that we would make, plus what other NATO countries would contribute, as well. ... And we didn't define specifics on that. Frankly, that remains to be determined as we go forward with the planning process."
U.S. President Barack Obama has said the last combat troops will leave Afghanistan by Dec. 31, 2014, leaving the bulk of the country's security in the hands of the Afghans.
Afghan security forces are in the lead for "nearly 90 percent of combat operations," Panetta said. "And they are on track to step into the lead for all of these operations by this spring."
The United States will maintain a "strong presence" throughout the fighting season of 2013, he said.
"What we're looking at is probably a presence in excess of 60,000 during the fighting season through the final transition of tranche five, which would take place in August of 2013," Panetta said.
This fall, the number of combat troops would decrease to about 50,000 by November, and then to 34,000 by February of 2014, he said.
"We would maintain that number through the election in order to provide and assist the Afghans in providing sufficient security for the elections," Panetta said. "Once those elections were completed, we would then begin the final drawdown of our forces towards the end of 2014."
The alliance made a commitment after post-2014 "to ensure the success of this new mission and the long-term stability of Afghanistan," Panetta said. "We've made a commitment to a strong enduring presence and we intend to stand by that commitment."
Deep cuts in European defense spending and the "political gridlock" in the United States over its budget "is putting at risk our ability to effectively act together" to resolve challenges that are ahead.
"As I prepare to step down as secretary of defense, I do fear that the alliance will soon be, if it is not already, stretched too thin," Panetta said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 17 (UPI) -- A gunshot detection system developed by Raytheon BBN Technologies is to be deployed at utility sites in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
Boomerang is to be deployed through an exclusive sales and distribution agreement between the company and LJC Consulting Inc., which does business as Mil-Com Security Solutions.
Raytheon said an initial order has been received for 110 Boomerang systems and that it is working with utility companies elsewhere in the country for the system's deployment.
"Boomerang has been saving lives in combat operations since 2003," said Ed Campbell, president of Raytheon BBN Technologies. "Boomerang is a unique, proven capability that will now help protect our nation's critical power infrastructure against gunfire incidents."
Boomerang uses passive acoustic detection technology and computer-based signal processing. It pinpoints small arms fire and reports the location of the gunfire's location to authorities.
"The utility industry is selecting Raytheon's Boomerang system because of its reliability, low total cost of ownership, and ease of integration with other security systems," said Christian Connors, president of LJC Consulting.
