Exploration and annihilation: a sobering anniversary
by Taylor Dinerman
|The great irony is that the early generation of ICBMs turned out to be much more effective as space launch vehicles than as weapons of war.
Equipped with a nuclear warhead the Soviet ICBM had the capability, at least theoretically, of "winning" World War Three. In had the potential to negate the huge US investment in the Strategic Air Command's (SAC) bomber fleet. The US was able to reduce this potential by keeping a few bombers in the air at all times and by keeping a large number of others on alert, but even so the comfortable superiority that the US had enjoyed before 1957 was gone for good.
It became apparent to everyone that the long-range nuclear-armed missile was now the ultimate weapon. Turning these rockets into effective weapons systems was not easy. The R-7, powered by liquid oxygen and kerosene, was not ideal. It took on the order of ten hours to fuel. According to Siddiqi, only three launch complexes were ever built and those did not become operational until 1960. By that time, the US not only had its own Atlas ICBMs in place, but had deployed the first Polaris missile submarines as well.
Yet the impact of Sputnik was so powerful that it was easy for the Soviet leader Khrushchev to claim that they were build rockets "like sausages". It was also easy for John F. Kennedy and the Democrats to make the political case that the Eisenhower administration had allowed the US to fall behind in the missile race. It was these false statements, which were made in spite of the evidence from the U-2 overflights and from the first successful spy satellite missions that showed that how far behind the USSR was, that helped trigger Ike's famous warning about the military industrial complex.
The great irony is that the early generation of ICBMs turned out to be much more effective as space launch vehicles than as weapons of war. Today the R-7's direct descendant, the Soyuz launch vehicle, is still in operation and will soon gain new capabilities when a new pad in French Guiana is ready. Likewise, a version of the American Atlas, which was the first US ICBM to reach operational status, is still sending satellites into orbit.
As time went on, improved ICBMs became more accurate and could be fired on command. The solid-fueled Minuteman missiles achieved operational status in the mid-1960s and became the core of America's land-based force. Today there are plans to refurbish at least 500 of them. Elements of others are being used in space launch vehicles such as the Minotaur.
The Russians are also successfully using parts of their older weapons as satellite launch vehicles. Today these are probably the lowest cost way for anyone to get into space. The Bigelow Aerospace Genesis modules that are now in orbit and are paving the way for a future privately-owned orbital facility were launched by converted SS-18 missiles. At some point the supply of these older systems will run out and it will be interesting to see if the US and the Russians find ways to civilianize parts of their ongoing missile programs.
|It would be amusing to see one irony piled on another if the first successful RLV looked just like an ICBM.
The Orbital Sciences Corporation's Taurus uses the Castor stage from the Peacekeeper missile. This has not been a best-selling way to get into space, to put it mildly. Will Russia find a way to sell rides into space using parts of their Topol/Bulova missile? They could certainly afford to sell their services for bargain prices but they may not want to undermine their other launchers and they may be uncomfortable providing insurance companies with reliable data on these systems. If they do turn the Topol into a launcher it may end up being for their own military use only.
Replacing ICBM-derived space launch vehicles with fully reusable systems (RLVs) has proven harder than almost anyone expected. There have been several aborted programs such as the National Aerospace Plane, the DC-X, the X-33, and others that did not even get as far as these. The mass fraction problem—the need to for the vehicle to have over 90% of its weight in fuel on takeoff—has so far been impossible to overcome.
This does not mean that an operational RLV is impossible. The step-by-step approach that some DC-X supporters proposed is probably the best way to proceed. "Build a little, fly a little, test a little, and repeat" may be too slow to match political expectations, but if properly managed it could be the right way to achieve the goal.
Meanwhile technology is improving and the efficiency of all types of launch vehicles will change with it. New health monitoring systems on the Space Shuttle Main Engines will be adapted to future rocket engines and new materials will make for lighter and more robust structures.
The SpaceX Falcon series looks, at first glance like a conventional launch vehicle, yet it has a recoverable and reusable first stage. It would be amusing to see one irony piled on another if the first successful RLV looked just like an ICBM.
We can all be thankful for the fact that so far, after fifty years, not a single nuclear tipped ICBM has been fired in anger. That is no excuse for complacency, for as they say in the TV ads, "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."

As Republicans eye an agenda in the coming era of Trump, some in Congress and in state legislatures across the country are looking for ways to curtail the extreme activism liberal big cities have engaged in during the era of Obama.
As liberal big cities across the nation rush to raise the minimum wage far past limits in state and federal law — as they announce "sanctuary city" policies to shield criminal illegals from prosecution for their crimes and from deportation, take up new taxes on sodas, implement tobacco restrictions, announce global warming schemes and other far left policies — Republican state legislatures are looking more and more at invoking preemption laws to shut down the extreme activism by city officials.
Linda Upmeyer, the Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives, explained that liberal cities are attempting to circumvent both state laws and state legislatures. But legislatures are starting to look at reining in those untoward actions.
"I think we will likely look at language on preemption so that the state is making decisions where it ought to, and cities and counties are making decisions where they should," she said, according to The Hill.
Preemption laws are essentially justified by the Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution, which rules that federal law preempts state laws. In similar fashion, many state constitutions maintain that state laws take precedence over local statutes, and it is this rule many state legislatures are beginning to invoke.
Already some states have invoked preemption laws to shut down left-wing policies in cities. The Hill notes that both Michigan and Wisconsin have preempted local laws banning plastic bags, and legislatures in Texas and Colorado have acted to prevent local municipalities from banning hydraulic fracking. Also, the Ohio legislature has informed local governments that they cannot pass their own minimum wage laws.
This is likely just the beginning, as state legislatures across the nation begin to eye preemption laws to head off a long list of liberal activism. From liberal anti-gun laws to liberal pro-illegal immigrant policies, to confiscatory tax plans, local municipalities are on notice in many states that their liberal activism won't be allowed to stand.
As the era of Obama winds down, Republicans will have more opportunities than ever to make such moves due to the devastation of the Democrat Party in nearly every corner of the nation.
Democrats now control only five of our 50 states and have lost well over 1,000 seats since Barack Obama came to office in 2009.
The states are far from the only place Republicans are looking to pass rules to limit the activism of liberal cities.
On the campaign trail, President-elect Donald Trump repeatedly said he'd look into taking federal funds away from so-called "sanctuary cities" to punish them for shielding criminal illegals. And Republicans in Congress are considering a variety of devices to help Trump fulfill his promise.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- People in the highest echelons of former Gov. Mike Easley's campaign and office could be required to testify next week in a state Board of Elections hearing that for the first time will scrutinize a governor's campaign apparatus.
Top-level officials at the state Democratic Party also were among nearly 30 subpoenaed witnesses made public Friday as part of the Elections Board's months-long inquiry into possible law-breaking in Easley's campaign and in the state Democratic Party.
"This list is a who's-who of the Democratic Party," said Joe Sinsheimer, a consultant to Democrats who has closely followed issues surrounding Easley.
The hearing by the board of three Democrats and two Republicans starts Monday and could last a week. It could result in an exoneration, fines or a referral to prosecutors that laws were broken.
Leading the list of possible witnesses is a trio of Easley donors and supporters who were involved in a 2005 coastal land deal in which records now show Easley, a Democrat who left office in January after two terms, bought a lot and accepted a $137,000 discount at closing.

What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure to remove fat usually along with excess skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids.
What does Eyelid Surgery accomplish?
Blepharoplasty can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below your eyes. These are the features that make you look older and feel more tired than you are, and may even interfere with your vision. However, eyelid surgery will not remove crow's feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under your eyes, or lift sagging eyebrows. While it can add an upper crease to Asian eyes, it will not erase evidence of your ethnic or racial heritage. Blepharoplasty can be done alone, or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as facelift or browlift.
What happens during the first consultation?
During your initial consultation, Dallas plastic surgeon Dr. Adams will evaluate your general health, and will explain which eyelid surgical techniques are most appropriate. You will be photographed and discuss with your pre and post-op care with Dr. Adams. A quote will be prepared that will include the total fee, which includes the fees of your surgeon, anesthesia, and hospital. (Note: Most insurance policies don't cover eyelid lifts, unless you can prove that drooping upper lids interfere with your vision. ( Check with your insurer.) Christy will give you a written pre and post-op care and informed consent to review. For more information about having eyelid surgery in Dallas, Texas contact us today.
How is Blepharoplasty done?
Before eyelid surgery, Dr. Adams marks the incisions sites, following the natural lines and creases of the upper and lower eyelids. The underlying fat, along with excess skin and muscle, can be removed during your surgery. Sometimes Dr. Adams will chose to do your lower eyelid by making a tiny incision inside the lower eyelid, so the fat can be removed. Dr. Adams will tell you which surgical procedure is the best for you. You will have very fine sutures that will be removed on the fifth day following your surgery.
What can I expect after Eyelid Surgery?
Recovery time:
You will be swollen and bruised for the first 5-10 days following blepharoplasty. You will be given special cold compresses to wear for the first 48 hours after your surgery. You will be required to sleep with your head elevated on 2 pillows that helps to decrease the swelling. Your vision will be blurry for the first week or longer, and is to be expected from your eyelid surgery and from the eye ointment you will apply. This ointment is greasy to keep your eyes moist while you sleep. Your eyes will not close shut as they did prior to blepharoplasty, this is normal and may take a few weeks to resolve before your upper and lower lids close. It is very important that you use your eye ointment as directed following your surgery. You must keep your hands away from your eyes and rubbing your eyes is not permitted to prevent injury to your eye and to your incisions. Your surgery can be done on an outpatient basis and you can go home the first day, unless you had other facial surgery that requires you to stay in the hospital overnight. You must make arrangements for someone to drive you home after your surgery, and to have help at home for a few days. You may return to work in 7-10 days depending on the extent of your swelling and vision changes.
How many visits do I have after eyelid surgery?
You usually return in 5 days following eyelid surgery for suture removal and to address any concerns with your surgeon and nurse. Then you will require follow up visits in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
Am I a good candidate?
Your visit with Dr. Adams will determine if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty. If you are in good physical and mental health, and have realistic expectations, you are probably a good candidate. If you are 35 years or older then you may be a good candidate. There will be exceptions with regards to your age if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may have your surgery at a younger age.
What does the surgery cost?
You will be quoted a price to include your surgeon's, hospital, and anesthesia fees.
How do I pay for blepharoplasty?
You will be given an estimate for your surgeon's, hospital, and anesthesia fees. For your convenience the fees will be paid in one sum at least two weeks. Checks, money orders, cash and credit cards can be used for payment.
Are there scars?
Yes. Whenever surgery is performed on your body a scar will result. Your incisions are placed in the natural lines and creases of your eyelids, which will leave nearly invisible scars.
Does Ear Surgery hurt?
1. Pain medication will be prescribed to help control discomfort after blepharoplasty. All pain medication causes drowsiness and therefore should not drive or operate equipment.
2. Antibiotic is prescribed the first week after surgery to minimize infection.
3. Sometimes following surgery Dr. Adams may prescribe a Medrol dose pack to reduce swelling.
Please let us know all of your drug allergies.
Will I be awake during surgery?
Blepharoplasty is best done under general anesthesia for control of pain and nausea if they develop post surgery. Dr. Adams will also consider doing your surgery under a light anesthesia along with a local anesthesia, depending on the extent of the plastic surgery you require.
Where is the surgery performed?
Your eyelid surgery is performed in an outpatient surgery center with no over night stay. There may be an exception that requires an over night stay in the hospital and Dr. Adams will decide based on the extent of your surgery required.
Are medical photographs taken?
Photographs are taken after your first visit for your surgeon and then after your blepharoplasty at about 3 months. Medical photographs are essential to help Dr. Adams better assess your eyes and face to assist in planning your eyelid surgery.
What medications should I avoid?
You should avoid or be off all diet or over the counter weight medications when undergoing eyelid surgery. The only homeopathic medications are those recommended by Dr. Adams. It is especially important to be off St. John's Wort and Ginseng, which can cause adverse effects during anesthesia. Please stop taking all aspirin-like products, Advil, and ibuprofen as these medications can cause bleeding problems. Please tell Dr. Adams what medications you are on (prescription or non-prescription) to ensure the safety of any surgery.

"What kind of birth experience do you hope for?"
A sweet, soft-spoken doula was sitting in my living room, probably expecting an answer filled with the highest of hopes and lofty expectations.
"Truthfully," I admitted, "I don't have a set vision for how things will go. I'm open to whatever may come."
When my water broke the evening of my due date, my husband and I decided to wait the night out at home, so I could rest and let labor progress in its own time.
Twenty minutes later, I was on my hands and knees, flailing wildly through unbearable contractions every three to four minutes for the next hour. There was no rocking on a ball. No steady pressure on my back, my forehead, my hands. No rest, no relief, no walking, no waiting. We got ourselves together and drove away into the night. Toward the hospital, toward whatever was to come.
In the hospital, I wasn't dilated even a little. The pain was in my back, then overtaking my entire being. I demanded IV narcotics. Still no dilation. When they wore off, I begged for another dose. I couldn't stand or walk. Could barely breathe.
I asked for an epidural, and got some blessed relief. The next morning, my body was ready, and I felt the urge to push. My doula and husband and nurses helped me move from side to side and back again to reposition the baby. I lifted legs in, up, out, lifted torso upright, let gravity work. We waited patiently and I pushed perfectly. He stayed put. After four hours of hard work, no sleep in nearly 30 hours and nothing to eat, I made the decision to birth my son by Cesarean surgery.
And then, for various reasons, I ended up needing full anesthesia for the procedure. Several minutes after my son was born (and brought quickly to his papa), I was woken up and found myself exhausted, shaking, unthinkably sore, and virtually immobilized.
And then I met the quiet, champagne-haired newborn whom I had birthed from my powerful, and now, battered body. A nurse helped me help him latch for the first time and for every two or three hours thereafter. Through layers of pain and crushing exhaustion, I fed him day and night, end over end over end.
I was told my milk would come in soon. Soon, soon. But nothing happened.
The hospital lactation consultant visited and helped me with latching. So did the pediatrician. I didn't know to ask for a pump and nobody offered. I didn't know about donor milk and nobody told me it was an option.
On discharge day, my colostrum had all but disappeared with no sign of milk. We were sent home with six bottles of pre-mixed formula.
At home, friends came to do our laundry and bring us dinner. The baby latched for hours, and, still, by nighttime, we could not get him to stop crying. He screamed without stopping for breath, refusing to nurse for even one more second. I became hysterical. I was exhausted beyond words, suffering physically, and, although we didn't know it at the time, fighting three infections. My husband was balancing on the edge of sanity—overwhelmed and afraid for his wife.
Finally, we remembered the formula. With hands shaking from exhaustion, he popped open a two ounce bottle and fed it to our son. The baby's screams stopped in an instant and his face and body melted down into calm for the first time since morning. We all fell finally, gloriously asleep.
Despite deep misgivings about feeding commercially prepared formula to our son, we relied on those little bottles here and there, as well as powdered formula, for the next several weeks while my body healed. My husband gave formula after I nursed our baby—or at night, when I simply could not get out of bed because of pain or exhaustion.
When the milk started to come, it came in drops. Ever so slowly. And never enough.
I hired a hip, young lactation consultant who urged me, above all, to rest. And pump. And to take breaks when I said I wanted to quit. When I cried and said I couldn't bear it for another second. I rested and breastfed. I pumped and rested. I pumped and my husband took over.
We fed our baby. We rested. We circled the wagons.
Over the next few weeks, I fought terrible infections, crushing, crippling pain, deep discouragement and low, low supply. For weeks and weeks. I fed on demand until I was sore—and struggling to keep from drowning in my own discouragement.
I took antibiotics. I took painkillers. We talked to the pediatrician. To my doula. To my sister-in-law who had never been able to nurse. To my girlfriend: a doctor and nursing mother herself. I saw a dermatologist who treated the battle wounds of breastfeeding. I texted the lactation consultant. I texted my mama friends. I slept. I nursed. My husband held the baby. My mother held the baby. I nursed. We supplemented. I slept. I pumped. We accepted dinners and desserts from dear friends. And from acquaintances. Slept. Ate everything in sight. Nursed and nursed. Supplemented a little more. Slowly stopped taking medications for the pain. Started to regain my strength. Started producing more milk.
Started to get into a rhythm.
One day, about six or seven weeks in, there was a little extra milk. My extra milk. A surplus.
No more formula.
We started to freeze a few ounces at a time. Sneaked glances into the freezer to gloat over our tiny stash. Each slim white packet a family victory.
My sweet nursling is now fourteen months old and a lusty eater. I will nurse my darling boy as much as he wants for as long as he asks.
Every moment of our breastfeeding journey has been a gift. And a lesson. Not everything unfolds as we hope. And all our preferences may not be met along the way. But there is value in being open and in honoring the depth of our own experiences.

Skin is for a woman who is comfortable with her own sexuality and who feels good in simply sumptuos soft cottons. Skin clothing is for how we live.

Marco Torres is an internationally renowned speaker, filmmaker, and author of a wide variety of digital content. He is also a high school social studies teacher in San Fernando, California, which is in Los Angeles county. Marco was named the California Teacher of Year last year, and serves on the board of the George Lucas Educational Foundation. He is a passionate teacher focused on helping students become engaged in learning and acquire the skills they need to thrive in our twenty-first century digital culture. Marco believes in helping students learn to market themselves well, because test scores cannot and do not sum up the capabilities and potentials of human beings. Marco is a fellow-devotee of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, and sees digital media as the tools of liberation for people who have lived in comparatively disadvantaged situations. Marco sees the Internet as the stage on which digital media content is and will continue to be published for a global audience hungry to hear the voices of our neighborhoods. The podcast shownotes include links to some of Marco's websites, digital media creations, and those of his amazing high school students. We need more teachers in our schools with the passion, dedication, and vision of Marco Antonio Torres.

College of Agriculture & Life Sciences
Meek's research focuses on enzyme mechanisms and rational design of enzyme inhibitors in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The availability of known point mutations that are causative of human cancers, along with genomic descriptions of many pathogens, provides an emerging means to identify new or known enzymes that would constitute potential drug targets. The Meek laboratory designs and synthesizes candidate inhibitors, and tests them against enzyme targets to determine their suitability as potential drug candidates. Meek received his PhD in Organic Chemistry from Penn State University and served as Vice President of Biological Reagents and Assay Development at GlaxoSmithKline in Pennsylvania prior to coming to Texas A&M.
College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
Muneoka's research on regeneration focuses on the cellular and molecular factors that can reprogram stem cells to be more embryonic, potentially maximizing the body's natural potential to regenerate. Building on previous research in salamanders and on the regenerative responses of mice digits, Muneoka's lab developed a mammalian model for endogenous regeneration. Muneoka's inquisitive drive continues to extend the impact of his research at Texas A&M, where he promotes graduate and undergraduate education in multiple academic departments. Muneoka is currently with the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology, at the CVM.
College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
Rusyn received his MD from Ukrainian State Medical University in Kiev and his Ph.D. in toxicology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was professor of Environmental Sciences and Engineering until coming to Texas A&M. Rusyn's areas of research include toxicology and environmental health sciences, especially developing highly mechanistic approaches to study the potential effects of environmental pollutants and other anthropogenic stressors on human health. He also focuses on the mechanisms of action of environmental toxicants, the genetic determinants of the susceptibility to toxicant-induced injury, and computational toxicology.

College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
As a tenured epidemiology professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, at the CVM, Scott leads the development of the Microbial Ecology and Molecular Epidemiology (ME2) research laboratory. Scott researches zoonotic disease control to improve food safety and public health and ultimately hopes to reduce resistance to antibiotics among zoonotic bacteria, which can be transferred from animals to humans. Scott and his team use microbiological and molecular methods to measure whether certain bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. In addition to leading the ME2 lab, he teaches graduate courses on risk analysis, disease detection, and disease surveillance.

We remember when the R32 came out in Europe and eventually made its way to the US a few years later. With AWD, and the VR6 it was our dream VW made real. At the time the near $30,000 sticker price was a bit of a deal breaker for us, not to mention the fact that the allotment of 5,000 vehicles sold out extremely quickly. 13 years and 400,000 miles later, this R32 has has lost about 80% of it's retail price but our interest remains at 110%.Read More
We can't resist an original red GTI with snowflake wheels, even one with eye watering price. Rebuilds and upgrades notwithstanding the $13,995 asking price is astronomical for a car with 215k miles on it. That said, we keep clicking through the photos and grinning so maybe the seller is onto something.Read More
Like the GTI itself, this one is pretty self explanatory. A 1983 GTI that has been in the same family for the last 30 years and looks to be remarkably original. After 150k miles this GTI still has original paint, a clean interior, and 14 inch snowflake wheels look better than our 2013 "Detroit's" in every way.Read More

The Associated Press reports it has seen documents that show the State Department expects Syrian dictator Bashar Assad to remain in power until at least March 2017, which is "two months after President Barack Obama leaves office and more than five years after Obama first called for Assad to leave."
The timeline described by the AP is a "staff-level think piece" that is "preliminary and pre-decisional," rather than an "official position" or an "accurate projection of plans by the international community to effect a political transition in Syria," according to State Dept. spokesman John Kirby.
In other words, this is the best-case scenario, the plan administration strategists would like to implement if everything went their way, and they still do not see Bashar Assad leaving his throne until March 2017, or maybe even later.
The AP notes that a major hurdle to ousting Assad is the growing feud between Sunni Saudi Arabia and Shiite Iran, which are on opposite sides of the Syrian civil war. Iran probably is not in the mood to make any further concessions about deposing Shiite rulers. (More precisely, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is a member of the Alawite sect of Shia Islam. He's unquestionably Iran's man, and there is no sign of enthusiasm in Iran for any State Department timetable to send him packing in spring 2017.)
"Assad has steadfastly refused to step down while his nation's terrorist threat, as he sees it, persists. The timeline offers no explanation for exactly how Assad would leave or what his post-presidential future might hold," the Associated Press notes. "And his chief backers, Russia and Iran, have resisted all efforts by outside powers to determine Syria's future leadership, insisting that is a decision for the Syrian people. Russia and Iran may object to the U.S. timeline's call for Bashar Assad to leave six months before elections would be held."
There is also the matter of the Islamic State and their godfathers in al-Qaeda, who are waiting in the wings to take over post-Assad Syria. The Russians have a lot more swing in Syria than anyone from the Obama administration at the moment, and they keep urging Western powers to team up with Assad to tackle ISIS.
The State Department timeline has the U.N. Security Council brokering a deal between the Assad regime and opposition leaders in April 2016, with the deal including amnesty for top leaders on all sides of the conflict. A transitional government would be formed by May, followed by the dissolution of the Syrian parliament, a Security Council blessing for the transitional government, the formation of a new legislature, an international fundraising drive to pay for Syrian reconstruction, and the drafting of a new constitution, after which Assad waves goodbye and cheerfully departs with his inner circle.
There is very little indication anyone actually involved in the Syrian civil war, on any side of the conflict, is comfortable with any aspect of this timetable. Even if Assad were persuaded to relinquish power, he would never do so in a way that made it appear the "terrorists"—as he and his Russian and Iranian patrons refer to nearly all opposition groups—had forced him out.
Assad does not seem inclined to depart before elections are held, given the suspiciously high levels of support he always claims to achieve. Russia also supports allowing Assad to participate in the next round of elections.
If he stepped down without completely departing from Syria, there would be fears of Assad working behind the scenes to destabilize the successor government, as happened with former President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen.
Meanwhile, international foes of the Assad regime have not been able to agree on which elements of the resistance are legitimate groups with a political future, and which are terrorists. The regime has been doing pretty well on the battlefield of late, well enough to leave besieged rebel towns starving to death, forcing trapped residents to eat grass, leaves, house plants, and household pets.
It is significant that even the most wishful thinking from the Obama administration indicates it expects the Assad regime to outlast it.
