More than 90 percent of the people who visit Glacier National Park never spend more than a few minutes away from Going-to-the-Sun Road. A ranger shared that startling fact during a program at Logan Pass.
While the road is an engineering marvel and packed with amazing scenery, there is much more to see and do in the park that encompasses 1,583 square miles. After all, this is park with almost 750 miles of trails.
Whether you prefer hiking boots or flip flops, we have 10 tips on how to make the most of your visit to the park:
1. Visit the famed hotels: Located in and just outside of the park, each has a distinct feel. You can start with grandeur of Glacier Park Lodge, a short walk from the train station in East Glacier, with it's massive Douglas fir timbers soaring over the lobby.
There is a sense of intimacy in the European hunting lodge feel of the Lake McDonald Lodge. It's hard to beat the stunning views of Grinnell Point from Swiss chalet-style Many Glacier Hotel. Each is a good place to sit and relax.
2. Travel the west side: There are far fewer people on this side of the park, where the roads are unpaved and can be rugged in spots. You can almost always get a campsite at Bowman Lake, but the road there is a "challenge" for cars and minivans, warned one ranger. The views uplake from the campground make the journey worthwhile. There also is a nice beach for swimming and fishing.
On a day when the westside weather might be too wet for hiking, the drive to Polebridge is a good option. Fewer than 3 percent of the park's 2 million annual visitors stop here, but the Polebridge Mercantile (known for its cinnammon rolls) and Northern Lights Saloon are popular destinations. I recommend making a loop trip, traveling up the Camas Road and then the Outside North Fork Road to Polebridge, then taking the Inside North Fork Road, if it is open, back to the Apgar area.
3. Many Glacier: Located in the northeast corner of the park, the meadows and mountainsides here are some of the best places to consistently see wildlife. How close are they? A ranger at the entrance station talked about the grizzly bear that often walks by the booth, never fazed by human presence. You also can see moose and mountain goats. Park volunteers often have spotting scopes set up to help visitors better view wildlife.
We found the boat launch into Swiftcurrent Lake a great spot to let the kids explore, throw rocks and quickly dab a toe into the cold water.
There are several overnight options, from the Many Glacier Hotel to Swiftcurrent Motor Inn to the campground.
4. Cheap eats: Dining in a national park can often mean prices as expansive as the views. Don't worry, there are plenty of places to run up a big bill inside and just outside of Glacier. But there are places to find cheaper alternatives.
One of the best deals was at the Swiftcurrent Gift Shop & Campstore. For $2.50, you could fill a 12-ounce cup with soft-serve ice cream. Since it was Montana, I opted for the huckleberry. It was much bigger, and far better, than the huckleberry frozen yogurt cone I had at Old Faithful Lodge at Yellowstone National Park.
5. Let someone else drive: Since 2007, the park offers a free shuttle bus system along Going-to-the-Sun Road. While it causes you to do a bit more planning before you leave for the day – you will need to take everything you need for the day. It's a good option if you don't want to drive along the twisting mountain highway. You can learn more at nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/usingshuttle.htm.
You also can take a tour on one of the park's iconic red buses.
6. Time your visit: During the busy summer season, plan to visit Logan Pass – at 6,646 feet it's 246 feet higher than Sunrise at Mount Rainier National Park – early or late in the day. By late morning, the parking lot is so jammed rangers are forced to close it.
This also applies to popular hikes such as the trail to the Hidden Lake Overlook at Logan Pass or Avalanche Creek on near Lake McDonald.
7. Make the drive into the Two Medicine Area: Located in the park's southeast corner. The views of Rising Wolf Mountain rising above Upper Two Medicine Lake are amazing. You'll also find plenty of solitude here. Fewer than 10 percent of all park visitors come to this part of the park. The 3.1-mile hike to Scenic Point on the Mount Henry Trail offers some of the best views in the park. Be sure to take the short (0.3 miles) trek to Running Eagle Falls.
8. Let your child become a Junior Ranger: The park's Junior Ranger booklet allows your child to choose what areas to learn more about, through ranger talks, hikes, stopping at a visitor center or through personal observations as you travel through the park. It's a great way to get your child to disengage from the portable electronics and can involve the whole family.
9. Be prepared for snow: I once visited in August, and it was snowing halfway up to Logan Pass. During our trip in mid-July, the Garden Wall Trail still was closed because of snow and people hiking to the Hidden Lake Overlook at Logan Pass (at 6,646 feet) had to follow wands crossing the snow that still covered the trail.
10. Take a boat trip: Since 1938, Glacier Boat Co. has offered tours and hiker transport on some of the park's biggest lakes. If you take a boat cruise on Two Medicine Lake, you can learn about Indian folklore, park history and more. A trip on Swiftcurrent Lake from the Many Glacier Hotel includes views of some of the park's largest glaciers. Learn more at glacierparkboats.com.

SHAFAQNA(Shia International News Association)--A group of Taliban suicide bombers stormed the main traffic department in the heart of Afghanistan's capital Monday, exchanging fire with security forces for several hours, officials and residents said.
Several police guarding the compound, which is adjacent to the headquarters for the Afghan Border Police (ABP), were wounded in the pre-dawn raid, officials said.
Two bombers blew themselves up while a few others were inside the four-storied traffic department, they said.
"After the initial attack, one of the bombers drove a car towards the compound and detonated it," said Mohammad Zahir, the chief for Kabul's criminal investigation department. Part of the building was on fire, residents said.
There was no immediate report of casualties among civilians.
An official said the attackers used small arms and a few rounds of rocket-propelled grenades. Known as a commando-style raid, the Taliban have frequently executed such attacks against Western and Afghan government targets in recent years.
Last week, a group of Taliban suicide bombers tried to attack a key department for the country's national intelligence agency in another part of Kabul.
At least one guard for the agency was killed and more than two dozen people were wounded in that incident.

Rate This Recipe"I simply love Gai Lan. It is one of the best veggies I've ever had. I have found it at Chinese and Vietnamese markets, but usually I get it at the China Market near my house. It's bitter so ends up ..." See moregoing really well with a sweeter sauce. This recipe is VERY close to what I usually do so I feel justified in reviewing it. When I blanch my gai lan, I put in a teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of baking soda and a thick slice of ginger (or some bottled minced is good too) in the water. For the sauce I like using some oyster sauce so it's half hoisin/half oyster. (I use vegetarian oyster sauce purchased at the Chinese market). I've also left out the oil and been fine, but the oil is good too. Other than that my recipe is pretty much the same. You could do less garlic if you don't like it, but I love garlic."
"Great combination of flavors for Gai Lan. I didn't boil it, just sauted in a bit of oil before adding the sauce. I added a cubed small kohlrabi as well...." See more"
"I like to use this sauce to toss not only Gai Lan, but also broccoli or green beans. It makes a flavorful veggie side for any asian meat & steamed rice dish. I find that half the sauce is plenty for..." See more 1 bunch or 1 pound of veggies, but this is just preference. I like my veggies just lightly coated. Thanks for the recipe!"

Jennifer Love Hewitt makes most of 'fat' bikini shots
- Last Updated: 3:57 PM, September 26, 2009

Being photographed looking "fat" in a bikini is the best thing that ever happened to Jennifer Love Hewitt. In 2007, the star was dubbed chubby after being snapped on the beach, and famously brought herself back into the limelight by declaring, "A size 2 is not fat!" Now, Hewitt is on the cover of Shape showing off her new sexy bod. She told the magazine, "I fall asleep feeling beautiful. Then, in the morning, before I leave the house, I say five things I love about myself."

Downtempo (or Downbeat) is a laid-back electronic music style similar to ambient music, but usually with a beat or groove unlike the beatless forms of Ambient music. The beat is sometimes made from loops that have a hypnotic feeling. Sometimes the beats are more complicated and more featured instead of being in the background, but even then they are usually less intense than other kinds of electronic music like Trance.

Notes from the Manager
David Gordon Green made All the Real Girls (which I absolutely love) and George Washington (which I'm not all the crazy about, actually, but was well directed) — and he also made Pineapple Express and now Your Highness, which are a bit… less highbrow, to say the least. He also directed some episodes of the Danny McBride HBO series Eastbound & Down.
The bit about Green wanting to remake Suspiria is true, as well, of course, although the last I've heard of it was last year.
Check out the trailer for All the Real Girls over at YouTube, and watch Your Highness's red band trailer below:
Head over to Coming Soon for the other trailers and TV spots for Your Highness, and let me know what you think! Is there a more varied director working in film today?
UPDATE: I did a guest strip for the lovely and talented Joel Watson's HijiNKS ENSUE. Joel is a true mensch — one of the coolest people I've met in all my webcomic-related travails (we shared a table at C2E2 last year, don'tchaknow?), and his comic is frakking hilarious. You should definitely check it out — and that goes double if you're a sci-fi nerd.
UPDATE 2: Thursday's strip is running late, sorry! It will post sometime during the day on Thursday.

The U.S Court of Appeals for the D.C.

Advantages Great hotel, great location
Disadvantages Not that cheap...
We stayed at The National Hotel for a few days last summer, on Collins Avenue, one block from Ocean Drive in the heart of Miami's Art Deco Historical District.
Built in 1939, the 13-story National Hotel lobby contains original period antiques and richly designed wood furnishings. It was restored in 1997 to showcase the original Art Deco details (the concierge desk is a precise replica of the original from 1939 !), this hotel is a visual delight for Art Deco fans !It's not a massive hotel (unlike the Loew's just a block down the street), but then most of the South Beach / Ocean Drive hotels are acutally pretty small affairs...
Other features at this hotel include:- 115 tower rooms and suites
- 36 deluxe rooms and suites in the Cabana Wing, along side the pool
- The Triplex, exclusive tri-level penthouse suite
- Award-winning, 24-hour concierge service. The concierge was extremely helpful with the few requests we had. I guess you bget what you pay for !
There are two pools, including the 205-foot-long infinity pool, and it's from the pool area that you can access Miami's marvelous South Beach itself. The beach concierge service (in the $12 per day "resort fee") provides chairs, towels, and drinks, and can arrange for massages and beauty treatments (at additional cost).
This "resort fee" is a bit of a rip off, I think, but did seem to be the norm in the several Florida hotels we stayed in. If it's mandatory, then it should be included in the quoted rate, rather than a "sneaky" addition for using towels, beach chairs etc that you kind-of have to...There was a computer in the fantastic lobby offering free internet access (to book our next stop) for guests,.

Israel Marks 40 Years of Blackhawk Operations How many countries use Blackhawk Helicopters? How do you prepare a helicopter for the Pope's arrival? What do Israeli Blackhawk pilots complain about? 40 years after its initial production, the IAF website gives you five facts you didnt know about one of the world's leading combat helicopters.
It all began in the year of 1972. Following the Vietnam War, the U.S Army embarked on a search for an advanced and reliable combat helicopter that would be able to carry heavy weights and be used long-term. Sikorsky industries was up for the challenge and began developing a new helicopter. Seven years later, the Blackhawk joined the American battle lines. Ever since, the helicopter has found its way into various countries, Israel being one of them, which even converted its name into Hebrew- Yanshuf (owl). Four decades since it was first manufactured, the Blackhawk is still one of the world's leading combat helicopters. Think you've heard it all before? We offer you five lesser-known facts about the Blackhawk 1)How do you say Blackhawk in Japanese? The veteran combat helicopter has been in the service of no less than 21 countries: Brazil, Philippines, Japan and Austria are just a segment of the long list. Apparently, the Blackhawk has even reached Brunei- a small country somewhere in the East with a population of less than half a million. 2)Under the Sea The U.S Navy uses a unique Blackhawk model which was manufactured especially for its specific missions. The Seahawk is the naval model of the helicopter which was redesigned and became the leading force of the United States against underwater threats. The Seahawk is capable of landing on aircraft carriers, launching missiles such as the hellfire and even hitting submarines. 3) VIP Flights Generals and Commanders in Chief are not the only ones to have experienced the thrill of flying on a Blackhawk throughout the years. The helicopters have carried the head of the FBI and the President of the United States, Head of Nuclear Energy and the UN Secretary General. One of the important people who got to fly on the Blackhawk was the Pope John Paul II, who visited Israel in the year of 2000. The lucky helicopter that got to fly the Pope was covered in red fabrics and new linings. Until today you can see it amongst its Blackhawk brothers, still proud in its festive attire. 4) Its Getting Hot in Here It has already become a usual joke between the members of the combat helicopter Squadron, a joke that cannot be told anymore during reunion nights. There is no pilot who was able to doge the drops of sweats on the forehead, and daydreams of a lighter suit are definitely on their minds. It is interesting how all these people have had to deal with the fact that there is absolutely no air-conditioning in the Blackhawk. 5) Hundreds of Rescues After the Second Lebanon War, both of the Blackhawk squadrons received a special award: a citation from the IDF's Chief of General Staff. Each of the Squadrons, "The Rolling Sword" and "The Southern Bells" operated during the war and performed more than 100 rescues, most in the battle field, while under attack. "As long as we have you, we are capable of confronting any operation and challenge", said the previous IDF Chief of General Staff to the fighters.

jotta Published is a platform for your writing. Upload articles, events and critical writing here.
FEATURED CONTRIBUTORSJotta has a fascinating conversation with lead 3D animator at The Mill, James Farrington about his journey from traditional animation to computer generated animation.
While these days James Farrington works for London's top visual effects agency, The Mill, on cutting-edge animated features like Where the Wild Things Are and Harry Potter, he has been in the animation bizz for over 26 years, back when animation was still "drawing with a pencil and paper, Disney style."
There are not many animators with a history as vast as Farrington, who are still working at the forefront of the field. "My very first attempt at animation was when I was about 14 years old, I made a little film for TV." Farrington tells Jotta, "When I went to college I went initially to study fine art - about half way through I remembered I'd done this film."
Farrington transferred from Fine Art to study on the only animation course in London, with his childhood inspiration Bob Godfrey as his tutor. Godfrey is the creator of children's TV classics Roobarb and Custard, and a programme called Do It Yourself Animation. "His ethic was that anyone can have a bash at it and that's what stayed with me, however slick and amazing an animation can look, its still been made by somebody."
Godfrey's show, which made animation accessible to the masses by taking the mystery out of the production process, was vastly influential and inspired an entire generation of kids in England, as well as James Farrington, there was Nick Park, who created Wallace & Gromit and Jan Pinkava, who directed the Pixar short Geri's Game.
The defining moment for Farrington was leaving college and discovering that there was actual work in animation. Farrington joined an animation studio working for none other than his childhood idol and college tutor, Bob Godfrey, a testament to just how small the industry was at the time.
"People just weren't aware of it. I picked it up and became sort of obsessed." It's that obsession which Farrington suggests is a prerequisite for the job, "You don't meet people in animation who haven't got that - there's always this feeling that you're in love with trying to find out more about the process of animation."
Eventually Farrington crossed over into computer animation when technology took a flying leap into the future. He describes the atmosphere while working at Dream Works in LA, "There was a feeling that you had to learn and change with the new technology, it was very daunting. But in essence all the same rules applied - the same principles of weight and timing and trying to get life into everything."
"All it really took was getting the opportunity to work on a job for a TV show. They trained me up on the computer, and instead of years it took about 3 months."
While it may be easier to learn the skills, there are few inlets into the industry, it's either traditionally, through the college route, "or you get a job as a runner, start making teas and work your way up through the industry, get a job as a tracker and hopefully pick it up as you go. Now even the runners have college degrees."
Farrington talks passionately about the science of animation, and the 4th dimension of time. "The thing that draws me to animation is almost a Doctor Frankenstein feeling, you're creating something that seems to have a life of its own, animation has often been described as the process of creating the illusion of life."

SKEMA Business School - GTI Course Requirements for M1 students
The GTI is providing 12 hours of content for SKEMA's M1 students in their US History and Culture course. If you have any questions about these requirements, email email@example.com for clarification.
Course Overview - New Students for Spring 2013
Course Overview - Returning Students (from Fall 2012)
Grades & Assignments
- Attendance/participation in GTI workshops & International Cultural Leadership Project (ICLP) events = 20%
- Personal reflection of a Leadership Development Series workshop = 20%
- Personal reflection of an academic ICLP event = 20%
- Final personal reflection of semester/year at NC State = 40%
Attendance is expected at all workshops. Being late is equivalent to one-half an absence and will affect your participation grade. Absences due to illness will be excused with proper medical documentation. Unexcused absences will result in a 0 for that portion of the course. There are no make-up sessions for missed workshops. You are responsible for keeping track of your scheduled workshop dates and times.
The majority of your grade is comprised of two short personal reflections and one longer reflection. The written personal reflection allows a person to look back at an experience in a thoughtful way that assesses the meaning and impact of the event. Reflections provide a means of self-assessment for the student to consider his or her own thinking and learning processes. They help students analyze their own observations, attitudes, beliefs, and values. Reflections can also help students make connections between the current and past experiences as well as future goals.
Students will be graded on each reflection on a 20-point scale according to this rubric. Students must work on personal reflections individually and not as a group. Any assignment turned in for academic evaluation must be completed in accordance with the NC State Code of Student Conduct. Students are expected to submit only work that is the product of their own efforts and must give proper credit and citation to all other information sources. If any student is found guilty of plagiarism in any form, he or she will automatically receive a 0 on the assignment and referred to SKEMA administrators. Students who do not submit the 3 required reflections outlined below will receive a 0 for that portion of the course. Assignments turned in after the deadlines will incur a 10% penalty for each 24-hour period it's late (ex. turning in your assignment at 5:01 pm means the highest grade you can receive is 18/20). Assignments that are turned in more than 5 days (including weekends and holidays) after the due date will not be accepted and will be marked as a 0 for that portion of the course. You are responsible for remembering the due dates of your assignments.
Culture Shock Workshop & Orientation (NEW students only)
This two-hour orientation is held during the first week of class for all of the new students in a small-group workshop setting .

Building Friendships Workshop (NEW students only)
Trained peer leaders facilitate an interactive workshop for SKEMA and NC State students during the beginning of the semester. The workshop covers topics such as cultural differences in social behaviors and expectations. Student leaders present some of the biggest challenges American, French, and other international students face when they try to form friendships at NC State University. It allows students to examine and discuss various social scenarios in which cultural misunderstandings occur. Attendance and participation is compulsory for all new SKEMA students.
Students will be able to
- describe the different expectations of friendship in French and American cultures

Race and racism have a long and pervasive history in the United States. Understanding that history as well as how it affects education, socioeconomic status, language, opportunity, media, and relationships today is critical to understanding the culture and sociopolitical environment of the United States. Changing preconceived and incorrect notions of race and difference has multiplier effects through all of levels of a society. Tthis workshop will challenge how participants see and view the construct of race.
Students will:

- Examine the notions fo race
- Synthesize the ecological dimensions of racism
2) Leading a Diverse Workforce: Wednesday, April 3 from 9:30-11:30 am in Cox 206
One of the most common reasons employees leave an organization is their relationship with their supervisor. Today's workforce is changing dramatically and your leadership skills must keep pace. Learning to address the needs of a diverse workforce and communicate effectively are critical skills for success and require practice. Culture influences organizations and leaders influence culture. This is an introduction to the skill set required for today's 21st century leaders.
Students will:
- learn about the four cultures that exist in organizations
- practice differentiating facts from assumptions
- learn how to prepare for difficult conversations
Final Personal Reflection
The final personal reflection should be between 600-800 words and should cover your time here in the United States. It must be uploaded online by 5 pm on April 19, 2013. A personal link will be emailed for you to complete and submit your assignment online. It's best to compose and save your reflection in a document editor like Microsoft Word and copy and paste it into your online submission.
Examine and synthesize how you were affected by the activities you participated in, the people you've met, the courses you've taken, and other experiences you've had during your semester (or in some cases, your academic year) abroad by answering some or all of the following questions:
- What did you learn about American culture from this experience and how could it help you in the future?
- If you don't think you learned anything about American culture from this experience, why do you feel this way and how much responsibility do you bear for it?
- What did you learn about your own culture from this experience and how could it help you in the future?
- How could you have made this experience more valuable?

Helicobacter pylori
Disease Burden
The isolation of Helicobacter pylori from the human gastric mucosa in 1982 and the demonstration of its involvement in gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric adenocarcinomas have radically changed our perception of these diseases. H. pylori is a small, spiral, gram-negative bacillus that appears to inhabit the mucous layer overlying the gastric epithelial cells in humans. It produces a potent urease, which, by producing ammonia, may help to neutralize gastric acid, but the mechanism by which the bacteria produces gastric inflammation is not clear as it does not invade the mucosa. Development of atrophy and metaplasia of the gastric mucosa are strongly associated with H. pylori infection. Oxidative and nitrosative stress in combination with inflammation plays an important role in gastric carcinogenesis.
H. pylori has an estimated prevalence of about half the world's population, possibly reaching up to 70% in developing countries and 20–30% in industrialized countries. Although infected individuals often have histological evidence of gastritis, the vast majority of infections are asymptomatic. Infections seem to be more common with age but, in the tropics, they often occur before the age of 10 years, especially in high-density populations with low socioeconomical status. Transmission is from person-to-person, presumably oral-oral and/or faecal-oral. In the absence of treatment, infection is potentially lifelong. Treatment is based on the use of a proton-pump inhibitor and antibiotics (metronidazole and clarithromycin).
Vaccine Development
H. pylori has been shown to be heterogeneous at the genomic level with a high variability in some genes. The feasibility of preventive vaccination has been proven in animal models (mice, dogs) using whole cell vaccines as well as subunit vaccines comprising selected antigens such as VacA, CagA, NAP, hsp, urease or catalase. One of the difficulties met in vaccine studies is the absence of correlates of protection; another is to develop a vaccine that will be efficacious at the mucosal level. In humans, several Phase I studies have been conducted using:
recombinant attenuated Salmonellas expressing H. pylori urease, that showed mediocre immunogenicity by the oral route;
an oral whole-cell vaccine adjuvanted with wild-type LT, that was discontinued because of excessive side effects;
purified urease co-administered with LT, also put on hold;
a recombinant VacA, CagA and NAP vaccine in alum that proved to be safe and strongly immunogenic. The companies which were involved are Antex, Acambis and Chiron in the USA and the Commonwealth Serum Labs in Australia.
A prophylactic vaccine would be cost-effective in preventing gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer.

Prom and graduation season, the Fourth of July and summer vacation give pause to parents of teenagers everywhere. Why? Because celebration paired with newfound freedom can trigger tragedy on our roads and highways. Indeed, young people themselves report that these times of the year are the most dangerous when it comes to driving. And alcohol and other drugs are primary reasons.
MULBERRY GROVE – For senior Becca Oldham, the last game on her home field was one she will never forget.
Oldham blasted a pair of two-run home runs and pitched a two-hitter on Saturday to lead the Lady Aces to the championship of the Egyptian-Illini Conference Tournament with an 11-0 win against Ramsey.
Oldham rifled a line drive just over the right-field fence in the first inning, and hit a no-doubter to right-center to end the game by the mercy rule with two outs in the sixth inning.
The Fayette County Farm Bureau Foundation has awarded scholarships to two local students who are planning careers in agriculture.
The sectional softball game between Ramsey and Cumberland has been moved from Moweaqua to Macon for Tuesday.
A Rare Privilege and Opportunity… … is the occasion of sharing a dear friend's 100th birthday when the friend is as active, alert and in as good physical and mental condition as Lucille is! Much enjoyed was being a part of Lucille Fisher's 100th birthday open house on Saturday, April 27, at the Golden Years Club Building. More than 100 of Lucille's family and friends gathered to share in her special day on April 27.
Commencement exercises will be held this weekend at all seven area high schools. The schedule is as follows: Friday • Patoka High School-7 p.m. Saturday • Mulberry Grove High School-1 p.m. • South Central High School-7 p.m. •Vandalia Community High School-7 p.m. • St. Elmo High School-7 p.m. Sunday • Ramsey High School-3 p.m. • Brownstown High School-3 p.m.
ST. ELMO – Mulberry Grove got the rematch it wanted.
And South Central got a positive end to its season despite a loss.
The Lady Cougars battled hard throughout Tuesday's regional quarterfinal game against Mulberry Grove, but the Lady Aces proved a bit stronger in a 4-1 victory.
The win sets up a rematch with Altamont in Friday's regional championship game, and this time, Mulberry Grove hopes to be on the winning side.
Kimberly Cole and Kyle Kloss, both of Pocahontas, have announced their engagement and upcoming marriage.
It has been my good fortune to meet other "history minded" people such as myself during my forays into the history of Fayette County and her people. One of these was the late Emory Meador, who, from time to time, would loan me newspaper clippings and books that he thought would interest me. One of the books was titled, "The Barbed Wire III Bible" by Jack Glover.
Family members from Ohio, Missouri and Illinois gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Aukamp in Vandalia to help Gerald Aukamp celebrate his 90th birthday.
