When buying a brand new computer or laptop, there exhilarating feeling about it because it's look shiny and runs all the programs at a rapid pace, this however can lasts from a few months to many years depending on the type of user. Every consumer uses their PCs or Laptops for specific tasks or activities. Once a new PC or laptop system is bought and is booted up for the first time, it runs really fast, well that simply because it's brand new and hasn't got a single data or program installed on it. As soon as files, programs are downloaded and ran simultaneously, it causes the system to be full of files and program data which take over the system resources. Furthermore, there are a various amount of factors that can cause a system to slow down, we have pinpointed the primary causes.
Software & OS Issues
Programs that are buggy or corrupt can cause the system to slow down. Some operating systems tend to become very buggy due to an specific update, executed malicious programs and missing or corrupt program data files. There is also that when you run too many programs at once, your systems CPU (central processing unit) will struggle to process tasks which then leads to your system to become very slow. If you also have a old system with a new version of a operating system, then it's very likely that is the cause of your machine slowing down, because it does not meet the hardware specifications of your machine.
Hardware Issues
Another major reason that your system could get very slow is due to hardware faults within the system. Hardware specifications such as RAM and Hard Drive could lead to a slow system. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the memory for your programs, and the more RAM your machine has, the more programs you will be able to run. Another major issue that users usually face, is the capacity of the hard disk. When the hard disk is up to 90% full, the startup process takes longer because it has to search through the hard disk in order to find the startup files. Another thing that you might notice is that when your hard drive is full then it take a bit longer for all the files and folders to load. So in this case it is better to get another internal hard drive installed on your machine or buy a external hard drive to store your personal data.
Another major reason that your computer systems could be slowing down or overheating can be due to the excessive dust within the hardware components. In this case it's best to send it down to us and we will service it for you. Sometimes dust could cause the fan in your machine to be blocked and therefore there would not be any airflow within the machine which could cause overheating and your machine to drastically slow down. Trying to clean your machine will not help, because at most times, it could cause more damage to the hardware components such as; short-circuit to the main board or the processor.
What NOT TO DO
If your machine is running very slow then there's obviously a problem, do not try to uninstall any programs or remove program data from the machine. This could cause more damage than good, and it can stop you from using a specific function or program in your system. Another thing that users tend to themselves is using their vacuum cleaners to clean out the dust from their machine, this is by all means WRONG, why you ask? Well it's simple, you can cause short circuit, the motherboard and CPU may get damaged (very likely). The best thing to do is to send you machine over (or choose another collection method), and we will service it for you using proffesional tools and software. Our bodies generates a lot of electricity, therefore when removing a hardware component with your hand, you're then transferring some of the electricity to the hardware components, in which case it would could failure or short circuit.
The Steps Electroclinic Takes to Service Your Machine?
Electroclinic provides the best computer and laptop maintenance services. These are the steps we take to keep your machine running smoothly:
1) Before anything we first record all the initial system and manufacturer details along with the software or hardware faults reported by the client as well as backup any data that the client requires.
2) We then cut off any power to the machine including the battery (if it is a laptop.)
3) The machine is then opened very carefully by unscrewing the screws and opening the case.
4) We then carefully unmount all the hardware components and then start to carefully look for any issues within the components
5) We then start removing dust from the machine.
6) If any components needed replacing, we will replace them using only manufacturer and system compatible hardware components
7) Once we place all the components back into your machine, we then start to screw everything back together with the correct tools.
8) We then power the machine to make sure the hardware components are functioning well.
9) Once the startup test is complete, we then move on to the OS and software optimisation.
10) If the OS is corrupt then we will reinstall it by only using licensed operating systems (Windows, MAC OS ). If it is not then we will optimise the existing operating system.
11) We then install all the OS updates as well as the programs that the client requests to install or reinstall.
12) We then test the entire system to check that everything is working.
13) The client report is updated on the system and the client is informed of their working machine and the changes that were made.
14) The machine is packaged using protective packaging and given back to the customer depending on the delivery method.
One of Electroclinics specialities is to service and optimise slow machines, and we have the right tools, equiptment and licensed softwares to speed up your machine. It's always better to invest a little expense on getting your machine optimised properly by a professional rather than trying to do it yourself, hardware components are very sensitive and the slightest mistake can cause them to become faulty. We repair any
We recommend that you send your system to us as soon as possible in order for us to restore and repair it. For more information on how you can resolve this lagging issue and book your repair, phone us on 02073512801 or email us at [email protected] Your can also visit Electroclinic's website at www.electroclinic.co.uk.

Last Night I went to Watts…
The first time I ever visited Watts was two years ago as part of a 5-day/4-night mission trip. That's a whole other story. Needless to say, at that time, I was terrified of the idea of going to Watts. Visiting Watts was literally on my Top 10 List of Things I Don't Want to Do. Jumping out of an airplane, being burned to death, and drowning to death were also in that same top 10. On our team's last night in Watts we walked through the neighborhood to get to a local restaurant that had food to die for – pun intended. As our team of mostly white people walked the streets, I felt kind of like we were a militia in a foreign land and the enemy was lurking behind any one of the windows on either side of us. I thought for sure that at any moment we would be fired upon and would have to duck or run for cover.
Watts (Part 2)
This is part 2 of a two-part blog. If you never read part 1 before or if it has been a while, you should consider reading part 1 before reading this.
Before I continue, let me just say to myself on behalf of myself and all other people who have the slightest interest in my blogs, "Shame, shame, shame on you, Jeremiah! You wrote part 1 over a year ago! What if you got shot and died and you never told us about it?!"
So, when I wrapped up part 1 of this story, I was heading out the gate of a three-story church complex and out into the neighborhood of Watts to hand out slices of pizza. My pulse was racing, my palms were sweaty, and my stomach was in knots. As I stepped through the open gate, I walked cautiously behind the two ladies who were part of my team. Before the gate had even opened, I had noticed some people gathered across the street from the church. The way they appeared perfectly matched my preconceived ideas about what to expect. It was a group of black teenage boys and girls gathered around a luxury car. The car's stereo blared gansta rap and several of the males were wearing gold chains and other bling bling. All that was missing were the drugs and guns. One or two of the young ladies from the group accepted some pizza slices but the others politely turned us down.
Next we headed into one of the numerous areas referred to as "the projects". Tall rod-iron fences surrounded this area. The buildings all had rod-iron bars on the windows and every door was made of sturdy metal. The building walls were all made of concrete and were, no doubt, designed to withstand bullets. As we walked among these ominous buildings, children began to appear seemingly out of nowhere. They approached us timidly at first, but once the first child ate the first bite of the pizza, the rest of the pizza quickly vanished. Most of the children were black, but a couple of them were Hispanic. One of the Hispanic girls decided to thank the two girls from my team by giving them hugs. I was still lagging behind my counterparts and so I witnessed all of this from a few feet away. I was too nervous and scared to fully encounter anyone in this foreign place. It was almost as though I was outside of my body controlling it via a remote. I could see and hear everything but I am not sure if I had said anything from the moment I had left the church until this moment. It was all so surreal. After the Hispanic girl hugged my teammates, she looked up at me and said, "Now I will give you a hug too." It was at the moment that she said that that I decided to quickly climb back into my body. I knew that when she did hug me I would have to cease being an observer and actually interact with my surroundings! And so she did as she said she would. She hugged me. Then something happened inside of me. The best way I can think to describe it is that I melted. Virtually all of my fears, preconceptions, doubts, and prejudgments just drained out of me! On the outside, nothing unusual happened. On the inside, a great wave of peace flooded over me downing out all of that other stuff. I did all that I could to keep tears from filling my eyes. Read more…
Watts (Part 1)
Well, it has been a very long time since my last blog and a lot has happened. While some things have changed tremendously, other things have remained the same. For instance, I am still working for the employer that brought me to Orange County over three years ago*, I am still attending Rock Harbor church in Costa Mesa, I still lead a small bible study group, and I still have two wonderfully precious children.
Are you familiar with burning bushes? Has one ever talked to you? Well, my name is not Moses and no bushes have ever talked to me, but several months ago God told me to do something that has significantly impacted the direction of my life. I have been leading a bible study for a while now, and I have spent a lot of time in church, in private school, and in the Bible. However, when you get down to my core, I am a self-absorbed person who has a lot of fears and insecurities. My inner problems prevent me from doing anything truly significant in this world. Fortunately, God doesn't call on perfect people to do His work. Read more…

|Charles Frank de Friez, c1990.
From his (blank) British passport
issued 3 Apr 1990, in the keeping
of the author
There are lots of photo's of the now-derelict factory at https://www.flickr.com/photos /landie_man/albums/72157624371589225/with/4793107137/
I wonder how Charles and Elsie met? Charles lived at 12 Olveston Road, Horfield and Elsie lived at 19 Hazelton Road, Bishopston. Elsie's father is identified as a Clerk, too, though he worked for a Corn Merchant. Did they work together at some point?
So many questions!!!
- Did Charles need to "convert" to Catholicism to marry Elsie?
- What was the basis of their marriage?
- Where did they live when first married?
- Did he work at Packer's Chocolates Factory? In what capacity?
- When did they separate? And where did Charles go after that? How did he get to Wales?
- Did he marry Dorothy, or was it a pretence to counter social disapproval?
- What was the purpose of the trip to New Zealand - holiday or emigration?
- How did Charles end up in Queensland, alone?
Once the research plan is done, I'll post it here for comment and for accountability. Maybe the man of mystery and international travel will allow me to unlock some of his secrets :-)
Have fun gene-adventuring, till we meet again :-)

Hi everyone! My name is Nicolette and I am an Environmental Science student at the University of Toronto, and new Sustainability Intern at UHN.
As one of my first official tasks, I had the pleasure of representing the Energy & Environment Team at TRI-Bickle's 2nd Annual Urban Agriculture Day last Friday. Home to one of UHN's community gardens, Bickle's GROW (Garden Rehab on Wheels) has custom height planters and wheelchair accessible paths that enables patients to participate in gardening as part of their rehabilitation. The group meets once a week, and together with dedicated volunteers and staff members, the patients are able to go outside and tend to the garden during the warmer months.
The end of the summer Corn Roast is chance for staff members and patients to come together to celebrate their hard work and enjoy the garden's final few weeks. The event also welcomed patient families and community members to tour the garden and learn about the project.
This year, the event proved a huge success as the group managed to collect over $410 in Continue reading

I'm a software architect/developer and I've been building software products since 1999.
I started programming in C, then moved on to building websites using Java until 2004 when I started programming in ASP.net in C#. I've concentrated on Microsoft technologies since then – deploying ASP.net applications written in C# onto IIS, usually using SQL Server as a database. I've been using the Microsoft MVC framework since 2009, and it's still my favourite framework for web development. These days at work I'm mainly focussed on architectural solution design, but I still get the opportunity to consult and advise on programming.
This is my blog – a collection of articles about things I'm working on at the moment. It might be something to do with my profession, or it might be something I'm working on in my own time.
I'm interested in making things, and I'm most interested in electronics and programming devices like the Arduino, and 3d printing.

Understanding Inclusion Relations between Quadrilaterals
177 110
This study investigated pre-service mathematics teachers' (PST), who are going to teach middle grade mathematics (grade 5-8), understanding of inclusion relationships of quadrilaterals. In addition to describing PSTs' understanding of inclusion relations of quadrilaterals; it was also aimed to document the development of PSTs' understanding of quadrilaterals during a geometry course. A designed questionnaire was administered to 48 PSTs at the beginning and again at the end of the semester after the PSTs was engaged in a designed five-week geometry unit. The findings of this study demonstrated that the majority of the PSTs struggled with identifying quadrilaterals and especially inclusion relations of quadrilaterals primarily. However, the number of the PSTs who understood hierarchical relationship between quadrilaterals increased through the end of the semester.

Kemin Agri Foods South Asia delivered presentation on "Wet Litter – Common Causes and Control Measures" in Veterinary College, Namakkal of TamilNadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University
Veterinary College and Research Institute, Namakkal as a part of its Silver Jubilee Celebration had organized National Seminar on " Integrated Management of Arthropod Pests of Livestock and Poultry in the aftermath of Global Warming and Climate Change" on 21st April 2010.
In this seminar, Dr.R.Chanthirasekaran, Sr. Product Manager of Kemin Industries South Asia Pvt Ltd, had given the presentation on "Wet Litter in Poultry - Common Causes and Control Measures".
The abstract of his presentation is given below:
Excess water when added to litter material due to excretion of urine, faeces and spillage of water leads to the problem of wet litter. Wet litter occurs when the evaporation rate is lower than the addition of water into the litter material. Due to wet litter, the farmer incurs a loss of Rs.2/- per bird in terms of diseases, carcass condemnation, litter management. The possible causes of wet litter problems are due to nutritional imbalances, anti-nutritional factors, toxins, pathogens that affect normal digestive physiology or the effect of these causes on gut micro flora. The other cause is poor farm management due to spillage of water into the litter material.
High intake of the minerals potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfate or chloride can lead to excessive water consumption and wet droppings. Poor quality dietary fat or rancid fat can lead to wet fecal droppings. Likewise, using feed ingredients such as wheat, barley, tapioca will often result in excessively wet droppings. Mycotoxins are known to irritate the digestive tract and to cause marked pathological changes in the kidneys. Ochratoxin, Oosporin and Citrinin are mycotoxins known to cause these changes. Such changes can lead to increased water consumption and wet droppings. The pathogens may directly damage the alimentary canal resulting in diarrhoea. Secondary effects may occur where birds go off feed but maintain water consumption, resulting in a higher moisture content of the droppings. Coccidia infections result in direct damage to the gut and will result in wet droppings. Bacterial infections caused by Escherichia coli, C. perfringens and Camphylobacter jejuni will result in wet litter. The viral infection such as adeno virus, reo virus and paramyxo virus will also result in watery droppings.
Enzymes, Probiotics, Prebiotics, Mycotoxin binders, Immuno modulators and anti-coccidial drugs will be of great help to overcome wet litter problems while using the balanced diet for chickens with reducing anti-nutritional factors. Next generation probiotic CloSTAT will be of use in controlling wet litter due to Necrotic enteritis.
The management of litter becomes critical as it significantly influence the performance of the bird and ultimately the profits of the customers. Proper management of litter helps to improve the in house environmental condition. Any investment customers make in maintaining ideal environmental conditions for their broilers will potentially return a significant dividend.
The seminar was attended by more than 50 scientists from all over the country. Kemin sponsored the dinner for the delegates.

It's a long story but for those who have been following our saga you know our pain.
We moved from the condo on May 24th for what was supposed to be a one month Reno. Two months have slipped by and the place is slowly (emphasis on word) coming together.
We have been blessed to be able to stay at Junior Sawhney's, but we are overstaying our welcome. Perhaps we could camp out somewhere
Do you know of any place?
We are blessed. There are no two ways about it.
Meanwhile we will continue to be cranky sometimes,
But at the end of the day we always try to see the silver lining. Sometimes it's just the little things which make us smile

93306 vs. 93308: Echocardiography
- By John Verhovshek
- In Coding
- May 23, 2018
- 3 Comments
When reporting echocardiography, you must be careful to differentiate complete (93306) vs. limited or follow-up studies (93308).
Complete Study: 93306
Code 93306 Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, complete, with spectral Doppler echocardiography, and with color flow Doppler echocardiography describes a complete transthoracic echo with Doppler and color flow. The following documented information is needed to report a complete echo:
- mitral, aortic, tricuspid valves
- pericardium
- adjacent portion of the aorta
CPT® criteria explain:
… a complete transthoracic echocardiogram requires 2-dimensional and, when performed, selected M-mode examination of the left and right atria, left and right ventricles, the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves, the pericardium and adjacent portions of the aorta. (Note that while M-mode exam is usually performed, it is not required in order to assign a complete echo code.) If it is impossible to image all of the listed structures, the report must indicate the reason. A limited transthoracic echocardiogram should be billed if the report does not evaluate or attempt to evaluate all of the structures listed above.
Limited or Follow-up Study: 99308
A follow-up or limited echo study, 93308 Echocardiography, transthoracic, real-time with image documentation (2D), includes M-mode recording, when performed, follow-up or limited study does not evaluate (or document the attempt to evaluate) all the structures that comprise the complete echocardiographic exam, as outlined in the CPT® criteria, above. A limited study is typically confined to, or performed in follow-up of, a focused clinical concern.
CPT Assistant (September 2005) further advises:
[echo] whether complete or limited, includes an interpretation of all obtained information, documentation of all clinically relevant findings including quantitative measurements obtained, plus a description of any recognized abnormalities. Pertinent images, videotape, and/or digital data are archived for permanent storage and are available for subsequent review. Use of echocardiography not meeting these criteria is not separately reportable.

Thanks for the complete description of a full echo.
if i have an echo report with only the lv, av, mv and pericardium with measurements for Diastolic/Systolic Function, Aortic Valve and Mitral Valve would this be a 93308?
It does include the EF also, right?

The Arabian Racing Organisation (ARO) are delighted to announce that Gary Capewell has been presented with the much coveted Qatar Racing and Equestrian (QREC) Award at the 2018 Horserace Writers & Photographers Derby Awards at London's Royal Lancaster Hotel on Monday 3 December.
Following a unanimous decision, the award has been made in recognition of Capewell's extraordinary contribution to UK Arabian Racing. Well known for his accurate calling, excellent preparation and strong voice, Gary has spent over 10 years as ARO's commentator, hitting a landmark at Wolverhampton Racecourse on 10th June this year when he made his 1,000 Arabian race call.
His enthusiasm for racing started at an early age and he was encouraged by his grandfather. Aged eight, Gary began doing race commentaries from the TV, making his first live Arabian race call at Uttoxeter in 2004. Two years later he was covering half the meetings with existing ARO commentator Martin Harris and by 2008 it was a full-time occupation. He has only missed three races since.
Commentating with ARO in the summer gives him the opportunity to work at some of the most prestigious racetracks in the country, which has led to offers of more work abroad. So far, this has included a season in Dubai and he has called Arabian races in Qatar at the HH Amir's Sword Festival. In addition to his work for ARO, Gary presents on William Hill Radio and TV all year round.
QREC CEO Nasser bin Sherida Al Kaabi presents QREC Award to Gary Capewell
QREC Chief Executive Officer Nasser bin Sherida Al Kaabi said; "Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club is proud to have supported the Horserace Writers and Photographers Association Award Ceremony since 2012. Our congratulations go to Gary Capewell for his commitment and achievements commentating for Arabian Racing in the UK, well deserved and well done."
ARO Chairman Charles Gregson commented. "We are delighted to see Gary Capewell honoured in this way. He has made a huge contribution to UK Arabian racing over many years and we are delighted to congratulate him on this award. We are also extremely grateful to both the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club and the Horserace Writers and Photographers Association for their support of UK Arabian racing."
The Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club-sponsored Horserace Writers & Photographers Derby Awards are held every year to celebrate work from broadcasters, photographers and writers in the horseracing industry. Awards include; Horserace Writer of the Year, Reporter of the Year, Photographer of the Year and Picture of the Year.

When I was seven
my Dad worked all night
to finish painting my room
I lay in bed finding shapes
on the ceiling.
The wallpaper looked like
a map of Brazil
or a man in a bowler hat.
Last night
I was awake, thinking.
I couldn't sleep.
>Across the hall
they were shouting
round and round in circles
I stared at the ceiling,
trying to find the pictures.
Brazil didn't look like
Brazil anymore.
It was just a piece
of wallpaper, missing.

'Torn Wallpaper' has a sophisticated simplicity, built as it is of short, straightforward sentences which avoid adjectives or indeed any other form of comment. It presents the situation and lets that tell the reader about how the writer feels, rather than having to tell us herself. The poem contrasts the present with a remembered childhood security, in a way which suggests that though it is circumstances that have changed (her parents rowing now), what she is really describing is the loss of childhood innocence. As if there were always rows, as indeed there always are, but that she didn't notice. The writer knows at some fundamental level that it's not the parents to blame, but life. This seems to be the point of the 'shapes on the ceiling' idea. What's so good about 'Torn Wallpaper' is that is manages to conceal the art by which it invites interpretation.

Challenges for Implementation: Space Requirements
Introducing molecular methods into a clinical microbiology laboratory is not a process without challenges. Some of these may include:
Space requirements
Introducing molecular methods will necessarily entail the introduction of new equipment. In many laboratories, space is at a premium; identifying space for new and additional equipment can be challenging. Some platforms are quite large; others have a significantly smaller footprint. The necessary separation of certain activities in the workflow will also impact space planning.

When Greenwood attorney Charles J. Swayze Jr. took over as the 99th president of The Mississippi Bar August 1, 2004, his tasks included hosting the Southern Conference of Bar Presidents, directing the Bench-Bar Committee to draft a standardized civil case management rule for trial court docket management and the Medical Liaison Committee to improve and foster a better relationship between doctors and lawyers, and implementing Casemaker, a cost-cutting online computer search engine, for Mississippi lawyers.
Swayze, who has an impressive career track record, has made considerable progress. The Delta native earned banking and finance degrees from the University of Mississippi in 1966, a law degree from Ole Miss Law School in 1969, and another degree focusing on labor relations from George Washington University in 1973. That year, he received the Army Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service for work done while serving in the military's legal branch during law school.
The Mississippi Business Journal asked Swayze how he's coming with his agenda as leader of the 7,933-member organization, and what remains to be done.
Mississippi Business Journal: You have stated that the Bench-Bar Committee is your "flagship" committee. What progress is being made this year?
Charlie Swayze: Last year, there was much emphasis placed on the Bench-Bar Committee. This year is the same and I have appointed committee members who represent the finest courtroom lawyers in the state. This year's committee is working closely and diligently with the Mississippi Supreme Court's Bench-Bar Liaison Committee. I have encouraged the committee to place special emphasis on drafting a standardized civil case management rule for trial court docket management. Also, I have asked the committee to study the process, procedure and effectiveness of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance and to make recommendations to the Supreme Court. There have been many, many suggestions by practicing lawyers for the Bar to make improvements in these two areas.
The committee has been divided into two sub-committees. The committee's work on drafting a standardized civil case management rule for trial court docket management is a continuation of last year's Bench-Bar Committee work. It has met with the judges at the Mississippi Judicial Conference and Mississippi Supreme Court justices.
The idea is to have one rule for all courts in Mississippi to follow in setting cases for trial. Many lawyers practice throughout the state and it is very difficult to conscientiously follow and know all of the different rules of the various judicial districts. Consequently, one rule will provide for one system, which will be applicable throughout the state. This will provide litigants and attorneys an equal and fair opportunity to obtain a trial setting. The other subcommittee is studying the statutes and rules, which pertain to the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance and will work with the Mississippi Supreme Court and the commission to make any improvements that the groups deem necessary.
MBJ: Tell us more about the work of the Medical Liaison Committee.
CS: The medical profession established a similar committee. This September, the committees held their first joint meeting. Both committees have a mutual goal to improve and foster a better relationship between the two professions.
The bar committee received numerous e-mails of attorney/physician problems that needed to be addressed. Some were scheduling of depositions, reasonable deposition fees, access to medical records and cost of medical records. The two meetings have been candid, but cordial. There have been articles published in The Mississippi Lawyer magazine and there will be articles published in The Medical Journal. Through education, I am optimistic that the committees will accomplish their goal and resolve their conflicts. When done, it will have an immediate, positive effect on both professions' practice.
vMBJ: The Mississippi Bar has joined a consortium to offer Casemaker, an online computer search engine. Tell us how that will impact the lawyers in Mississippi.
CS: This electronic search engine will be coming online in May. The Technology Committee has worked many hours on this project. When the Bar joined the Casemaker consortium, there were approximately 14 member states. Now there are 20 member states, including Texas and Florida. As more states come online, it will provide larger and more databases for research. It will cost each lawyer approximately $20 a year. Currently, this same or similar service can cost an attorney $6,000 or more per year. This will have an immediate cost savings effect upon our practice and generate savings to the client.
MBJ: The Mississippi Bar is fast approaching its 100-year anniversary. What has stayed the same and what has changed in the legal profession over the past 100 years in Mississippi?
CS: The Mississippi Bar was founded in 1906. Our Centennial Celebration Committee is hard at work making plans for our centennial anniversary.
The goal of a practicing attorney is to provide good sound legal advice to clients, whether corporate or individual. This has never changed. However, the number of lawyers in the state and the number of clients has increased considerably, thereby increasing litigation. The cost of legal services has increased over the years, just as other professional services have increased.
Probably the most significant change in the practice of law has been technology. In the past, legal research could take several hours before an attorney was competent to render a legal opinion. Now, with computer research engines such as Casemaker, legal research can literally take a matter of minutes, thus saving time and client expense. The cost of this technology, again as evidenced by the Casemaker system, is becoming more and more cost effective.
MBJ: What are your thoughts about the public's perception of lawyers?
CS: The public's perception of lawyers is the same as it has been since biblical days. Lawyers represent clients in an adversary environment where different positions must be taken in the prosecution of a case and in the defense of a case. Obviously, this stirs animosity and tension between clients, which is usually "taken out on" the lawyer.
In my opinion, lawyers are members of a very powerful, honorable and noble profession. Mississippi lawyers and judges come from all walks of life, serve in communities of all sorts, and participate in more service and charitable organizations than any other profession. Lawyers are the reason that our legal system and our judiciary are models emulated the world over.
Mississippi has an excellent judicial system which channels people's grievances into socially controlled, non-violent means of dispute resolution. We do not settle matters through duels or threats of terror. Lawyers are leaders of this nation and always have been. Our founding fathers such as James Madison and Thomas Jefferson are responsible for our constitution and our individual freedom.
I conclude all of my Bar speeches with this statement: "Next time you read an article bashing the judicial system or bashing lawyers, remember that same judicial system and those same lawyers are the reasons you have the protected freedom to read and the author has the protected freedom to publish that article. Be thankful for your American justice system."
In October, The Mississippi Bar hosted the Southern Conference of Bar Presidents, which is comprised of 18 bar associations in the Southeast. At the conference, bar officers discussed all the topics that we read about in newspapers and listen to on television. They are: judicial elections, professionalism, civility, tort reform, advertising, legal services for the poor, diversity, judicial performance, discipline and court funding. These issues are continually being discussed aggressively by bar organizations throughout the country. The resolutions are difficult, but the subjects are not unique to Mississippi. In fact, they are not restricted to the U.S.
Recently, I met with 20 international lawyers from Uganda, Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia, Croatia, Nigeria, India and others. Ironically, their questions pertaining to our system related to attorney discipline, professionalism and advertising. The interest is worldwide.
MBJ: What is the Bar doing for the public in 2005?
CS: The Mississippi Bar will continue its mission to serve the public good by promoting excellence in the profession and in our system of justice. The Bar is committed to providing programs and services that assist the members of the Bar and provide high quality legal services in a professional and cost effective manner.
I have already discussed some functions of the various committees and the addition of Casemaker in 2005. The Bar offers many more resources and services that continue to expand, such as the Mississippi Volunteer Lawyers Project (MVLP). The Bar, in partnership with Mississippi's legal services organizations, administers the MVLP, which handles domestic cases as assigned by Legal Services Programs. With the recent merger of the four remaining Legal Services Programs into two, MVLP anticipates even more calls for help. Operating since 1982, MVLP has plans to continue its core function: to engage private attorneys of The Mississippi Bar in providing pro bono services to citizens of limited means throughout the state.
The Lawyers and Judges Assistance Program (LJAP) will continue to help attorneys who are impaired. The Office of the General Counsel will continue its role to actively review and process Bar complaints to protect the public. The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) assists in any way possible to first determine if clients have a basis for a complaint and then, if so, try to resolve the issue without litigation.

Akira Ronin
Novice Mage
Join date
Character sheet
Power Description:
Takeover: -Weapons Evolution- A magic where Akira can turn any part of his body into a item (usually turns self into weapons)
Subject: Akira Ronin
Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:19 am
Full Name: Akira Ronin
Age: 21
Guild: Vocaguild -Council Member-
Lupus; the silver wolf key, now named "Maugrim" by Akira (see history for details)
Likes:playing forced cruel games on victims,restraining his victims from moving and making sure he grabs all the information he can out of them
Dislikes:missions that aren't worth the cost, when he finishes his missions a bit too quickly, low class food and people who cant give him the proper fight he wants
Siblings: None so far
Type of Power: Akira's magic is takeover magic where Akira can take over a any item there is but the twist about this magic is that Akira does not actually "takeover" an item as in absorb it completely. What Akira needs to do in order to use this magic is to grab hold or at least touch the item that he wants to transform into. When Akira absorbs the particular item Akira will know everything about that item. He will know what the item is, how it was made, if it had some secrets or abilities kept inside it, who made it, how it can be used to fight, and nearly all the information you want to know about that one item. Akira can also turn his body part (usually an arm) into the opponents weapon and use it against them as long as he has touched it. When Akira uses an opponents weapon he will be a master at using the weapon. When Akiras weapons gets broken it does not really harm Akira himself for Akira does not feel the pain from his weapons when he transforms into them. Akira even though usually only transforming parts of his body into a weapon and can in fact to his entire body into a weapon and with the help from another person he can act like their weapon. It does not matter if the other person does not know how to use Akiras transformed weapon for Akira will guide them all the way so the person using Akira will only need to hold onto him and Akira can take care of the rest.
[Secondary] Archive Magic[Secondary]
Archive(古文書 Komonjo lit. Palaeography): is a form of unique magic that allows the user to convert information into magical data to be stored, enabling them to gain access to previously stored information such as magic and possibly even historical records and people's profiles that the user may or may not be aware of themselves. The concept behind Archive magic came about just recently, contributing to its rarity. The basic ability behind Archive is to store information within a magical interface, allowing it to be transferred between people via hot-bar type loading screens. The Archive interface allows for management of all information within the archive, which features information on viewing screens. By establishing a connection between two minds, the user and another target can communicate telepathically, as well as giving information about the current location of selected targets via tracking.Once a connection is established, any information shared between the user and the target gets sent directly to their brain, often in a loading-in-progress manner. Data such as maps and spells can be transferred to the target as long as the information is stored within the archive. The transferring of data to chosen individuals also makes it possible for the receiver to perform feats based on the information that they have received, such as the execution of high-level spells that they would otherwise not have the capacity to perform, but with no memory of the time when they did afterward. Apparently, the skill system operates in a technological fashion. Proficient users are capable of interfacing with liaisons made by others in a manner similar to electronic communications tapping.
Perhaps the most mysterious and remarkable feature of this skill is that it allows a proficient user to access information that had been long thought to be gone and inaccessible through conventional means.Besides its information-based abilities, Archive magic comes with practical combat applications to protect the user. The user has basic offensive and defensive abilities, such as magic bursts and a block-like shield to defend the users, overall its combat abilities alone are very poor.
Back in the old day when Akira was young he was special inside his family for mainly one thing, it was how he grabbed information from certain items that what his family found unique about him. Mainly every magic that his family used was combat-based and nothing more. After his family found out that his magic had an extra certain ability they decided to teach him extra magic called Archive to help him with his original magic.
"Weaknesses. when his equipment points are full it will be necessary for him to loose a weapon with a ability to regain some equipment points for him to store in the next weapon. The difference between this and a normal mage user is that Akira looses full possession of the weapon he was using and would need to buy the item again or just touch the weapon and absorb it again to regain that weapon/armor, were as a normal mage could of just lost that weapon or of kept it somewhere safe and not use in battle at his/her will. This does not go for an ordinary weapon/armor with no abilities."
Mainly the way that this magic is suppose to help Akira is that it can store item information inside his archive magic and make sure he wouldn't of lost any weapon at all.
Strength: It mainly gets rid of Akira's first magic weakness and will store nearly any information Akira can get his hands on. This can also apply for maps, books, videos, pictures, ext. Mainly can store anything like a computer.
Weakness: When transferring information into another person it may take some time depending how much or what the information is. E.x. When Hibiki transferred a map into Natsu's head or when he transferred Uranometria into lucy, it still needed a waiting period before it could fully be transferred.
Special Features: Has a Split personality that changes his physical looks and gives his physical and magical strength a major boost (its something like Ichigo's hollow )
Psychological description: Akira has a split personality that changes his physical looks and even his physical and mental strength. Akira's second personality is a craved fighting maniac so most of the time he will ignore the injures given to him by his opponents and only have a more fun time at fighting them and if they don't give him a good fight he will torment them until no end. The nickname that Akira gave to his split was White tear for the white Mowhawk in the middle of his blue hair reminded Akira of his own blue eyes with seeing a white tear inside them looking like the tear came from the sky. Akira's normal personality is a specially well trained assassin that has never failed a mission that allowed him to kill his clients victim but just because of that it doesn't mean he does poor in any other missions. He goes by his own agenda and plays cruel games with his dying victims. He likes to make sure he can squeeze out all the fun out of killing his victims and because of this he actually a lot of times doesn't kill the victim but in the end the victim will be demented thanks to his cruel and sadistic games he plays on them. Akira usually doesn't let his other half White Tear out for he can fight on his own but its really not his choice, White Tear comes out usually whenever he has fallen to his knees on battle usually calling Akira a weakling. Akira is normally quite loyal to his guild and will fight for its honor but has a huge lust for power and will do practically anything to achieve it. Even though he is an assassin he still decides not to join a dark guild because he enjoys to fight other assassins and you cant kill other assassins if your in the same guild as them.

Describe your past (your background):
Akira meets Maugrim......and nearly dies
When Akira was young he was known to have exceptional and inferior magic and physical skills compared to his four older brothers. These brothers were of coarse jealous of this and abused him for most of his childhood life. Akira didn't really care much about that though because he was only concentrating on being stronger. One day out when he was training he saw an amazing animal that was unique in any way. It had a wolf-like form but its face expression was that of a crazy psycho path murderer. It had 10 human corpses surrounding it and surprisingly one of those corpses belonged to his brother who was leading that team. It killed nearly anything just for food and seemed to fight beasts that were three times its size and yet it could still defeat it in the end. With its crazed look in its eye and Akira looking at it one on one with it suddenly deciding to just randomly attack Akira. With akira dodging its attack easily he had quite the terrifying smile on him saying to himself on how fun it will be taking on such a dangourus monster. Akira quickly turned his feet into chainsaw chains giving him extra speed to fight with and then he turned into a chainsaw and attacked the beast with it, surprisingly the beast caught the chainsaw with its teeth and was sinking its teeth into the chainsaw meaning its teeth was capable of going through hard metal that was able to cut metal itself. Akira quickly kicked the viscous beast away and was thinking to himself on how is he going to defeat a beast with teeth strong enough to break through his weapons. He decided to fight with long range and turned turned his arms into guns with never ending bullets and shot from all distances, this had a good affect against the creature, Akira was now on the winning side. The beast went up close on Akira and when it was just about to claw its jaws into his stomach Akira gave it one of his strongest physical attacks yet where he turns both his hands into a giant hammer weighing over 1000KG with him being able to change its shape and size as he pleases and with that one direct killing hit the beast nearly destroyed nearly half the forest with its body destroying every tree in its way thanks to the impact Akira gave it. With the monsters body body nearly dead on the ground admitting defeat Akira turned his arm into a shining silver sword about to split the creatures throat in half, when Akira was pointing his sword at the creature about to kill it the creatures same kind came out for it gave a ferocious howl. Suddenly Akira was surrounded by 20 other of the same creature where he sure thought that he was as good as dead. Akira was getting ready to fight all the beasts knowing that he might even get killed but Akira still stood there to fight, when the first creature attacked it surprisingly missed AKira and actually went for he already half-dead beast which was already on the floor. The 20 other creatures ignored Akira and only went for the beast which was a surprise to him, it looked like the beast was the strongest out of all of then and that it was a carnivore and the rest of the creatures wanted it dead for revenge. As the rest of the creatures was devouring the half dead beast Akira decided to kill off all of the creatures and keep the beast alive to keep it as a pet for it looked like it would come in handy so Akira's other half came out for Akira was already tired on fighting such a strong and dangerous animal. When White Tear came out the only thing he could do was no more but laugh his head off thinking of the joy of him about killing and torturing the rest of the twenty creatures. Evil laughter came from his mouth and only smiles of the devil coming from his face. He never had such fun killing before and when he was rampaging through the beasts going on absolute rage he found out that before he knew it they were all dead and the only thing he done for the next half hour was killing corpses again, and again, and again. After white Tear had vanished Akira took the half dead beast and gave it some aid and from there on took it as a pet.
Akira's family
When Akira went back to his family to show them his brothers corpse and his new pet they decided that it was the beasts fault for killing the brother and the other three brothers were in charge of killing the beast but Akira was against it so they locked him up inside a cell until the beasts death was done but of coarse no cell could keep him him locked up so when he got out of there he saw the blood of his new found pet on his feet with its screaming roar for help dying out. It died right in front of Akiras eyes and the only thing he could hear was the laughs of his brothers torturing the dead beast. Akira was now filled with rage for his brothers and out of nowhere White Tear came out thanks to Akira's rage for his brothers. As White Tear was smiling with joy he decided to torture his brothers until no end so he gave them one of his most powerful moves yet, the magic is one of the strongest magics ever used, I guess you could call it Akira's death room where he creates a room filled with traps and he can turn into any weapon as he wishes without having to waste his magical power. Akira trapped his brothers inside this death room making it impossible for someone to get in or out. He trapped them inside and tortured and tortured them until they became insane from the pain. The sound of their screams was nothing more than than music to White Tears ears but it drove Akira insane inside. Akira was crying and begging for white tear to stop but that wouldnt stop him. White Tear finally decided to end it and with that one quick sleep of that sharp sword he used his brothers heads were on the tip of his spear shaped figures. After White Tear saw the heads of the brothers he was laughing out of sheer joy on how fun it was torturing the ones that loved him and he only laughed and laughed with that devilish smirk on his face. Akira could do nothing more but watch for he was powerless at the time. After his parents saw that he had defeated his brothers then the only thing they did was praise the boy for it was known that when those three brothers were together than no one could stop them, not even the strongest guilds in all of fiore could lift a finger against them and Akira killed all three of them in one spot making them cry and go insane in under a few minutes. Because his parents praised him for doing something so evil Akira developed a personality where he became a man of his own agenda and saw all the fights he ever joined as nothing more but a fun game.
Maugrin; "Lupus: The wolf silver key"
After the incident with his pet wolf it turned out that a year later the Spirit king surprisingly came up to Akira and had revealed to him that the wolf that he had tried to save at that time was actually one of the silver spirit keys (Lupus) that had done a massive illegal action in their world. It turned out that the wolf had stolen an item to make itself as strong as the golden keys, maybe even stronger. It was banned from the spirit world and was forced to come to the world of Fiore, where Akira had met him. Surprisingly enough the wolf had not died when Akira's brothers thought they killed it but actually went back to the spirit world for some reason. In the spirit world the wolf had run amok and destroyed nearly everything there was. The Spirit king was able to stop it but he could not kill it or put it back to the earth world, there was only one way to get rid of it, that way was to give it to someone who could train it and put it in good use. Sense the wolf had followed Akira after he saved him the Spirit king thought that Akira was the best option for it and gave the wolf to him with a contract. The wolf is now not allowed to go back to the spirit world and is now a former spirit with no key. Now the wolf is in Akira's possession and because the Spirit king could not take the wolfs powers away it is still with the wolf and Akira uses the wolf as a comrade in battle.
Achieving Archive Magic
It has been years sense the incident that had happened with Akira's brothers, ever sense that one day there was no grief for anyone. No tears had been shred ever sense the funeral of the men that use to harm Akira mentally. Their names had never been spoken again by Akira or his family and everyone was perfectly fine with this. With his brothers gone Akira had become an only child and his parents did nothing more but praise him for his strength ever sense that incident. With Akira being an only child his parents had now mainly focused on only him and his magic. Now that Akira's parents had been focusing on his magic they had begone to realize the full potential of his magic and its unique abilities. The main thing that had separated Akira's magic from the rest of his family is that it had more then just combat abilities, it was also one of the best magic to use when information receiving. Akira could tell what the item is, whats its purpose, if it had some secrets or abilities kept inside it, how it can be used to fight and know its overall power with just a simple touch of the specific item. This power is what amazed Akira's parents the most but there was always one problem with it, Akira sadly had a memory delay with this magic and could not keep its information forever. This part of his magic is the reason why Akira's parents gave him a secondary magic called archive. With Akira receiving Archive magic his weakness would of been gone for good and would of saved all of the data of the item like a computer that had an infinite amount of memory. Although receiving Archive magic was not an easy price to pay. The concept behind Archive magic came about just recently, contributing to its rarity.
The way Akira had to receive this magic was by taking away most of his freedom away from him. Akira for most of his time in his teenage years had to spend his life inside libraries reading nearly every book that contained magic information on them. The reason why is because the person who was sent to teach Akira archive magic was the librarian himself. Akira was told that archive magic could only be taught to those who are intelligent and could never be taught to the ones who use their magic as an idiot. Only geniuses could be the ones who achieve archive magic for they must be the ones that must remember everything. Akira was on the librarians stupid list and the only way for Akira to achieve higher IQ was to read every book that was inside the library. The library was three or four story's high and with each level contained nearly over ten thousand books. With being forced to read every book in that library day by day this was the way how Akira lost most of his years as a teenager. Akira was only allowed to train his body physically only once per week so his physical strength had also went down thanks to this other secondary magic he was trying to achieve.
After two to three years of reading forty-thousand adult sized books without using the gale-force reading glasses Akira had finally finished reading every single book that was inside the library and was ready to learn the new archive magic that he was promised. With Akira as proud as he could be he walked up to the librarian with a "in your face" sort of attitude and demanded that he would teach Akira the new magic. The librarian had surprisingly agreed to teach Akira the magic but only in one condition. To of write a one hundred page summary of each book he has read. Of coarse Akira had refused to of done this task when he first heard of it and even tried to threaten the librarians life a couple of times, but writing all that was necessary to grab himself archive magic. Archive magic mainly relied on memory of ones mind and needed the user to have a memory of an elephant. When comparing archive magic to a computer then imagine that the user's brain is the memory of the computer and archive magic is what stores information and is the computer screen, And if archive magic gives unlimited storage then the user's memory must be infinite and must be capable of storing any information that comes to him. With plenty of argument the librarian was forced to show Akira how to use archive magic the hard way.
Because of Akira's complaints the librarian had given up on trying to reason with Akira and decided to just teach him the magic there and then. Of coarse there was going to be backfire but this was the only way Akira could learn. The librarian had held onto Akira's shoulders and within seconds there was a buffering bar on top of Akira's head. The way how Akira was going to achieve archive magic was by having the librarian transfer it into Akira's head. Although the drawback of accomplishing archive magic through this method was that the archive magic was not going to stay in Akira's head forever and all the information about this magic would of left within seconds due to Akira's stupidity and the fact that he did not accomplish having good memory. The buffering bar on Akira's head had finished loading and all the information about using archive magic was now inside Akira's head. Within a split second Akira could summon a computer screen right in front of his eyes and could even show a video of he life he has lived. Akira was amazed by this and was easily overexcited, but the librarian.... It had already been a few minutes sense the transfer of archive magic into Akira's head and for some reason Akira had not lost it. This surprised the librarian in many ways asking himself if he misjudged or underestimated Akira. It looks like Akira had already accomplished on having memory like an elephant and didn't need to write down all those summaries for every book. Akira was already smart enough as it is and with him achieving his archive magic his life inside the library was over.....for now.

We welcomed back to the program Dr. Mike Griffin. During the first segment of our 90 minute discussion, Mike talked about human spaceflight (HSF) and the commercial space market. He said exploration would be a government project or at least with government in the lead, especially if the commercial market was not there. He threw water on the argument that our space policy was budget driven. Instead, he talked about it being based on choices we make. It was not and is not about the money. His comments throughout or discussion on this topic supported his argument. He even said the cost of space for the U.S. taxpayer was around 15 cents/day. This discussion evolved to one on the importance of leadership which we agreed was in short supply today. Included in this discussion was Mike's vision for our space policy & program, plus he explained its importance and value to our nation both today and for the future. He spoke to the issue of what society wants and the choices it makes that shape our future. Space should be part of our national policy debate and hopefully such a debate would enable quality choices to be made that keep us on the leadership edge with all nations. Mike was asked who he thought would be next on the Moon and he said China. We also talked about the private sector taking us back to the Moon with HSF. He said that the private sector could do this, capital was not an issue, but for the private sector to do it there needs to be a closing of the business case which he did not see at this time. SLS John called in & asked about space advocacy diversity which he said seemed to be at war with NASA & whatever the program of record might be. Mike had much to say about this, especially about inefficiencies in government organizations and projects. He also said if the private venture or industry cannot make money, then it should be a federal project. Many times during our discussion he said that there are things that a society should do just because they are hard & they don't have to look good on the balance sheet. John also asked about the RD-180 engine, Mike offered us his conclusion as to why we should be a new version of the RD-180 so that we do not continue being dependent on Russia for space related hardware, etc. Later, he was asked about cislunar space development which he said should be a public enterprise. He cited many examples and models supporting the public development of this important space infrastructure. SLS was discussed. Mike very clearly articulated the case for SLS today and again repeated that SLS future missions are about choices, not the budget. Don't miss his comments. As the segment ended, Randy emailed a question asking for the rational & silver bullet for HSF. In my opinion, Mike gave an excellent response to this question so don't miss it.
In the second segment, Mike got some questions about NASA doing more R&D and even forming a NACA-like division or program. We talked about NASA R&D, the need for a NACA-like program and more. Dave, our caller, commented on leadership, then Bill in Denver emailed in a question about using fuel depots and smaller launch vehicles rather than heavy lift vehicles like SLS. Again, Mike had much to say about heavy lift, including that while possible to do smaller vehicle launches., the numbers don't pan out for efficiency. You need to listen to this full discussion which also addressed some bogus assumptions regarding inefficient heavy lift decision making. Nuclear propulsion and Vasimr came up, , then we again focused on vision that takes on big challenges because we can! More was said on lunar colonies evolving to longer BLEO missions plus cislunar commerce, especially cislunar cargo missions. Another listener asked about being dependent on the Russians for HSF to the ISS and if shuttle was retired too early. Mike talked about having wanted to fly shuttle at a minimum rate annually until a new vehicle was operational. We talked about the role of the congress and White House as compared to the role of the NASA Administrator. Later, we talked about the role of public support and individuals petitioning congress on space policy. Listen to his story about the Hubble repair mission. I even asked if poorly written and fantasy driven letters to informed staffers helped or hurt the cause. Listen for Mike's response. In summary, Mike said his wish was that people would share is view that there are important things for society to do but that don't look good on a balance sheet. In the end, he said he was optimistic that his positive views on space would prevail and that when policy makers realized that China was going to put people on the Moon and what that would mean for the US, it would not be allowed to happen.

During the first segment of our 91 minute discussion with Mike, we talked about the lack of a coherent national space policy and how best to use tax payer dollars for the public good. Mike discussed the fact that there was no credible alternative to the RTM program, no clear path to any set of discernible goals. I asked Mike about NASAs asteroid redirect mission. He did say it had interesting potential and it was better than nothing but as listeners agreed, it was not a grabbing and inspiring program. Listeners asked Mike about Constellation which he said was a space system architecture. We talked about a lunar base and access to Mars. I asked Mike about the public's interest in space & you don't want to miss his response. Daniel brought up budget issues, commercial ventures, and the current administration. We also talked public/private partnerships and multi-year programs and policy challenges. Mike was asked about the VSE and bipartisan support though Jon emailed in his disagreement on that issue. Mike talked about goals as being important to congress and the need for an effective policy to have bipartisan support. Mike was asked about the ISS and the potential for discovery and we he responded to a listener question about the mass needed in orbit to support a lower mass on the Moon. The ratio is 10::1.
In the second segment, June asked about economies of size in launch vehicles and heavy lift. Barbara emailed in about a COTS like program for HSF. Trent called from Australia to inquire about Stratolaunch. Doug called to ask about cislunar development and what a program that supported that development might look like. Mike had much to say on this subject, don't miss it. We talked extensively about the role of government and the private sector, including government subsidies. A listener talked about scientific discovery and serendipity. John asked about the Ares 1 vibration and solids in comparison to liquids for safety. John in Ft. Worth asked Mike about SLS and Orion as a capabilities holding program and Mike agreed. The idea is to maintain capabilities until the time they can be used. During the entire program, I asked Mike about his public service, how he dealt with attacks and criticism, and how he got his interest in space. This is an important discussion.

Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed Todd Halvorson, senior aerospace reporter for FLORIDA TODAY & USA TODAY to the show. During our first segment, we mostly discussed the upcoming Falcon 9 launch scheduled for Saturday early morning, May 19 2012. Note that Florida Today is having special coverage and programming starting at 3:30 AM EDT. To tune in, visit www.floridatoday.com. Todd detailed the coverage at the start of our next segment. Also in the initial segment, we talked about Congress, commercial crew, down selecting, the Space Act Agreement, and theU.S. human spaceflight program, such that it is a program. Also mentioned was the SLS program along with Orion, then I asked about the space coast economy per the recent 60 Minutes segment last month. Todd had much to say about the 60 Minutes Segment, especially the visuals they used. Don't miss it. Listener Jane asked about the differences in policy ideas between NewSpace and the old space crowd, especially the very well known astronauts who are most vocal in support of a more traditional NASA program. Todd had much to say about this and we talked about the future NASA as either a space tax service or an organization that explores BLEO. Another topic of interest dealt with the Chinese space program and going to the Moon. Our listener asked if Chinese space plans might start a space competition with theU.S. We then talked about the FY 13 budget for NASA and the possibility of doubling NASA's budget as proposed by Dr. Tyson. As the segment ended, we discussed Planetary Resources and sought Todd's perspective on what has been made public so far.
In the second segment, Todd went into detail about the Florida Today broadcast for the Falcon 9 launch. Terry called in to ask about the ISS GPS issue and then we asked Todd to describe what happens when Dragon gets to the vicinity of the ISS. The process goes on through Wednesday morning. Another listener asked for Todd's analysis of the space program over his 25 year history of reporting space news. Our next topic honed in so the suborbital companies in Mojave, space tourism, and suborbital research. This discussion included spaceports inFlorida,California,Virginia,New Mexico and elsewhere. As our program was nearing its end, we talked about Constellation, Ares 1, SRBs, Dr. Mike Griffin, SLS, and civility. In his closing comments, Todd again said we should have a space program that explores and is not a space taxi service.
Please post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog. You can email Todd through the Florida Today website.

Guest: Jay Barbree. Topics: Overview of the space program today, SLS, presidential politics and NASA. You are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. We welcomed NBC veteran space reporter Jay Barbree back to The Space Show for a conversation that focused on our best options for today's space program. Our discussion was one hour forty minutes without a break. We started out discussing Jay's thoughts when he reported on the last shuttle flight given he had reported on every shuttle flight ever made. He also told us he had updated and reissued his best selling book "Moonshot" which he co-authored with Alan Shepherd and Deke Slayton. Remember, if you buy it from Amazon with this specific URL, Amazon makes a contribution to The Space Show: www.amazon.com/Moon-Shot-Alan-Shepard/dp/1453211977/ref=onegiantlea20. Other topics discussed included a comparison of the original astronauts to astronauts today and the need to return to the Moon. In fact, Jay told us about ideas being discussed to use the ISS to do a figure 8 loop to and from the Moon rather than crashing it into the ocean at the end of its life. To do this, he said nuclear propulsion was needed and this led him to discuss the overall need for the nuclear rocket, especially for going to Mars. A listener asked him if he favored a one way trip to Mars and he said yes. Don't miss his complete answer. Next, we started talking about the Space Launch System which ended up as the main discussion topic for the balance of the program. Jay strongly supports SLS and is concerned that it might be cancelled. We talked about what the Obama administration would likely be doing with space and then he talked about his conversations with the Republican candidates and his impressions of each one and their interest in space. He talked at length about Newt's Florida primary comments and returning to the Moon in general. He also talked about the need for space settlement given the vulnerability of Earth. Later, a listener asked Jay if he was familiar with the accusations being made against NASA for how they dealt with the chimps in the early space program and their idea to get KSC to donate space for a chimp museum documenting abuse during their NASA days and dedicating to stopping lab research. Jay was not familiar with the story but listener Tim found the story on the PETA website: http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2012/02/29/peta-to-launch-memorial-at-space-center.aspx. Jay talked more about the SLS but also about Falcon 9, Dragon, the Boeing CTS 100, and the Atlas 5. He expressed his concerns many times that the politicians might actually mess up NASA and our future, specifically by cancelling SLS, Orion, or both. At the end, he told us about his MSNBC.com series "Getting to Mars" which is already underway. Post your comments/questions on The Space Show blog URL above.

Transcripts of Space Show programs are not permitted without prior written consent from The Space Show (even if for personal use) & are a violation of the Space Show copyright. The Space Show/OGLF is now engaged in its annual fundraising drive. Please see & act upon our appeal at https://thespaceshow.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/space-show-2011-fundraising-campaign. We welcomed Mark Bray back to the program to discuss standards for NASA and the aerospace engineering field. You can also check out Mark's blog at http://braynstorms.com as was mentioned near the end of this two hour discussion. Also, The White Paper referred to in our discussion, "Achieving Innovation and Affordability Through Standardization of Materials Development and Testing" can be downloaded from http://braynstorms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Achieving-Innovation-and-Affordability.pdf. NOTE THAT MR. BRAY IS SPEAKING FOR HIMSELF DURING THIS INTERVIEW. HE IS NOT SPEAKING FOR NASA, ANY CONTRACTOR OR ANY OTHER PARTY. As we began our discussion with Mark, we talked about the situation at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and Huntsville in terms of projects, employees, moods, morale, etc. Mark was comprehensive in his perspective, even talking about ATK, New Space and government procurement as well as the FAR. Mark then shifted to standards and talked quite a bit about testing methods and why standards are needed. Listeners asked about Space X and standards as well as Dr. Mike Griffin and standards at NASA when he was the administrator. Later in the segment, we backed up and got Mark to explain the problems regarding standards or the lack thereof. Later, a listener asked Mark for some examples. One example he gave us was Henry Ford and standards at the early Ford Motor Company. Toward the end of the segment, Mark started addressing liability issues along with fielding a question about the Dream Chaser vehicle. In the second segment, we talked about government contracts and some oversight. Mark explained testing in greater details and we asked why there would be opposition to standards. Mark also raised the issue of why there was no PE title for aerospace engineers. You might be surprised by what he had to say about this. During this segment, we again discussed liability protection for the developing companies. Mark was very critical of putting energy into liability shielding and protection over standards. I supported Mark in his comments. Make sure you hear this discussion which may prove controversial for many of you. Near the end, I asked Mark about his fellow employees at MSFC and how they processed the economic news regarding the US and from around the world. I wanted to know how the teams understood and applied to their jobs and profession the economic information and conditions in the country. Don't miss his pearls of wisdom closing comments.
