Wampanoag Story | Pilgrim Story
Savannah and the Salmon: A Modern Wampanoag Story
Winter came, and soon passed. Flowers started to bloom and the fiddlehead ferns were beginning to grow. The river had thawed and the current was flowing strongly. One Saturday morning, my daughter Savannah said to me, "Daddy it's salmon season. I just turned six. Can I go salmon fishing with you?" I replied, "Well, you're old enough now so I don't see why not." She said, "I love fried salmon." I then explained, "It is the start of the salmon season and I don't know if they are running down river well. The nets are set. We can go and check them to see if there are any fish caught yet."
We gathered our belongings and headed to the river. We climbed in our boat and started downriver. I turned to her and said "Savannah, let us give prayer to the Creator and ask for a blessing in catching the great, mighty fish." Savannah leaned over the boat and looked at the river and said "Salmon if you can hear me, come to our net so that we can have you for dinner. You're the best fish we ever tasted." I said, "OK girl, we're on our way! Hopefully we'll be successful."
We made it downriver to our net. Checking the middle of our net, we saw that there were no fish. We then went to the right of our net and checked for a fish. Nothing. Suddenly we heard a big splash! In front of the net a big fish jumped out of the water, into the air, and splashed back into the river. I paddled as fast as I could to where the fish had jumped. When I arrived, I pulled up my net to find a glistening, large salmon. I pulled him out of the water and into the boat. He was flopping around in the boat, so I took my club and struck him in the head to knock him out. Savannah burst into tears saying, "Daddy, we killed the salmon." "Savannah, don't worry," I answered. "When we get home we'll thank the salmon for giving his life for us so we can have food."
Savannah was used to seeing fish fried on her plate. This was the first time my daughter saw a beautiful, living salmon. Later that afternoon when we arrived home, Savannah was still tearful. I said, "Savannah, how about if I go and get my hand drum and we can honor this great salmon by singing an honor song for him? He gave his life for us so that we can have food." Savannah wiped away her tears, saying "Daddy, can I sing the song with you?" "Of course." So we started to sing the honor songs. As we sang, Savannah's tears went away. After we finished singing, I turned to her and said, "You know what girl? I'm going to take the backbone from this fish, and take some red and black and yellow beads, and make you a necklace so that you will always remember this moment." But she stopped me and said, "Daddy, can I ask you a question?" "What is it Savannah?" She looked up at me, and smiled, saying "Can we go fry him up now?" I answered, "You bet!"

Daybreak at Planting Time in New Plymouth
My name is Hester and I want to stay abed! But Mary's crying has made me rise from bed early. She hath but a year so she shares the bed with Mother and Father. When she is older she shall share the feather bed that Jane and I lay upon the floor at night. Mother says Mary cries for she is growing more teeth. 'Tis just getting light out, so Mother sends me to our garden behind the house to pick some marjoram leaves. Chewing on marjoram leaves is a good physic for sore teeth and will soon make Mary feel better.
Jane is awake too. I think she still misses the sounds of bells and other city noises that woke us when we lived in Holland. I do not remember Holland at all. I was too small then. I was a newborn babe when Father and my older brother John left for New England in 1620. Being the least useful in the building of houses, it was thought best that many of the women and children wait to go until the town was made, so Mother, Jane, Jacob and I stayed behind in Holland.
Three years later we too finally crossed the ocean and arrived in New England. I do not remember the voyage either, but Jane says it was long and troublesome. The first time we tried to leave, the ship had to turn back, it was leaking so badly. The second time a violent storm lasting nearly two weeks overtook the ship. When the storm had passed the ship returned to England again. We finally got over to New Plymouth on a different ship called the Anne. When we arrived we found the men had built a little town. The houses were made of wood and clay with thatched roofs. Fields and gardens had been planted too. Many families, like ours, were so happy to be together again at last. Father says this is a very good place to live even though there are no markets and shops here. 'Tis so different from England and Holland. Everything we need to live we must grow, gather, catch, make ourselves or bring over from England. But here we are not persecuted because of our religion. And our fathers can be husbandmen and own land!
Jacob is still lying to bed. Mother says I must fetch water from the brook myself and let Jacob sleep longer. He is very weary from helping Father and John plant Indian corn. He had worked in the fields for many years now, but it still makes his arms and body ache. He thinks he is grown up enough to stand watch with the men soon, but father tells him he must wait seven more years, until he is sixteen.
The morning is chill. My feet get cold and wet with the dew as I walk to the brook. Goodwife Soule is already there. I make a courtesy when she bids me good morning, then I fill my buckets. I do not fill them overmuch for I fear that I will spill them. I only began to fetch water a fortnight ago, since I grew tall enough to carry the yoke. On the way home I sing a song to make the walk go faster.
When I return with the water, Mother has already kindled the fire in the hearth. Last night before bed she covered the glowing red coals with a thick layer of ashes so that they would stay hot while we slept. This morning she uncovered them and put some small pieces of wood to them which quickly caught fire. The bigger pieces of wood on top soon caught fire too. 'Tis easier to start a fire this way than a flint and steel! The fire warms my feet and heats the water we will wash ourselves with. Mother has put a pot of Indian corn pottage called samp to warm over the fire. We shall have that and some cheese to break our fast.
After I empty the chamberpot, I go with Jane to milk the goat that we share with some of our neighbors. I can hear many animals calling to be milked. My hands are growing stronger, but I cannot squeeze the milk out as quickly or in such a thick stream as Mother and Jane can.
Later today we will use the goat's milk to make curds. Would that we could make sweet cheese with sugar and spices but I know we must have a care not to use all our sugar before more comes from England. Our sugar, raisins, prunes, oil and vinegar, and even our clothes, shoes, and many tools must still come across the sea from England. We know not when another ship will arrive. They often come but once a year. Those that came on the first ship with Father and John went two years without any new supplies. John says some folks then had little more than rags for clothing!
Jacob, John, and Father are getting their tools ready. Father says they will finish planting the Indian corn today, for the Sabbath is upon the morrow. We do no work on the Sabbath, not even cooking. It is a day of rest. We all gather in the meetinghouse at the top of the hill and are most of the day in prayer.
The corn that they plant will be harvested in the fall when it is grown tall and hard and dry. Because it is dried it will last for a long time. It will keep our bellies full and give us more seed to plant next spring. I like not Indian corn as well as wheat and rye, but Father says it grows better here in New Plymouth than our English corns because we have no oxen to plow the ground. The manner of planting this Indian corn is most strange...we do not plow at all!
Father says an Indian named Tisquantum showed him how to dig a hole in the ground, drop some fish into the hole, make a mound over the fish, and plant seeds of Indian corn in the mound. The fish rot and make the corn grow better, but we have to be careful that animals don't dig up the fish and eat them. Sometimes Jacob stands by the fields and throws rocks at the wild animals that come to steal the fish. Though this is important work, I think he likes it as a game. But he knows games are only to be played when work is done and Father gives him permission to play.
Cousin Phillipe is already gone for the day. Master Bradford, our Governor, has sent him and some other men fishing today. If they catch a good deal of cod, they will salt it so that it can be sent back to England on the next ship. The rest of it shall be divided betwixt us and some of our neighbors. I mind not eating fish now, but by midsummer we eat so much of it I grow weary of the taste.
I hope that Father reads to us tonight. Even though many of our neighbors do not know how to read or write, Father thinks it is very important that we learn. He says we should be able to read the Bible for ourselves. Since we have not a school here, Father started teaching Jacob and me to read last winter. But we have little time for lessons this time of the year. There is too much work to be done during the warm months.
After we've all washed ourselves, we gather at the table to break our fast. We raise our eyes to the heavens as Father offers a prayer. He asks God to watch over John, Jane, Jacob, Mary, me and cousin Phillipe to make sure that we do not grow too willful. And he asks God to protect our little town of New Plymouth and to watch over our family, that it may grow and prosper in the New World for many years to come. God willing, it shall.

August 7, 2012 – Austin, TX. The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Kim Kasprzyk former FGS Treasurer, FGS Director and Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS) board member who died on Sunday, August 5, 2012, surrounded by her family. Services will be held in Libertyville, Illinois beginning on Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Please see Kim's obituary for more details.
At FGS, Kim was instrumental in the success of the FGS 2011 conference held in Springfield, Illinois when she served as Registrar for the conference. According to Pat Oxley, President of FGS, "Kim was so efficient, conscientious and even-tempered through the whole process. She worked in parallel with Cath Trindle, our out-going Treasurer in training to be our new Treasurer. Kim was willing to help with any task put before her. I cannot say enough about what a warm, wonderful person she was and how much I loved working with her."
At ISGS, Kim was the Newsletter Editor since 2008 and was also responsible for maintaining the society's Military Certificates program.
Kim was passionate about family history and when asked to describe herself, her work and what mattered most, she said:
Genealogy has been a part of my life for over 22 years, way before computers and the luxury of doing research in the comfort of my own home. Since then my "addiction" consumes almost as much time as a full time job. Besides trying to do my own research I'm active in the Illinois State Genealogical Society, the German Interest Group of Wisconsin and I run the Cook County, Illinois GenWeb page. My real full time job is as a nurse auditor in the emergency room at a local hospital. I'm married to a musician and have 4 step-children and 3 step-grandchildren. Besides genealogy I enjoy travel, weaving, gardening and reading.The FGS and ISGS organizations, as well as the entire genealogy community, will miss Kim including her smile and her passion about genealogy. Her contributions to family history will live on through her good works and the many lives she touched.

Fugitive Escapee Sighted in Rawlins
The search continues for fugitive escapee Kenneth Ward, however the area of that search is now being focused on the Rawlins area.
According to Natrona County Sheriff Gus Holbrook, Ward was sighted in the Rawlins area. "First he was sighted in Bairoil," says Holbrook. "A man actually gave him a ride to Rawlins from Bairoil. Once he got to Rawlins, the individual then called Sweetwater County and stated that he may have given the escapee a ride. Sweetwater County then sent him a photo, which he positively identified as Kenneth Ward."
The search is now being headed by Law Enforcement in Rawlins and Carbon County.
Sheriff Holbrook goes on to say that the fugitive was also sighted by another individual who is familiar with Ward.
Ward was being transported by an independent transportation agency, when he escaped at the Independence Rock Rest Area, on State Highway 220, A week and a half ago.
He is described as a white male, 6'0″, weighing 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of his escape, Ward was wearing khaki shorts, a black shirt and flip flops.
Authorities say that Ward has managed to get out of the handcuffs that he was wearing at the time of his escape.
Individuals who believe they have seen Ward are asked to contact Law Enforcement immediately and are advised to not approach him.
Ward is said to have a violent past.

The majority of irregular arrivals by sea to the European Union (EU) occur in the Mediterranean. Although the phenomenon is not widespread throughout the EU, it affects the EU as a whole. This publication reviews the solidarity measures the EU has established to support those countries most affected by irregular arrivals by sea. It will focus on the fundamental rights challenges raised by such measures but will not discuss whether these measures are sufficient and adequate for genuinely sharing the costs associated with the arrivals. This publication will also touch upon EU funding instruments and intra-EU relocation from Malta and more thoroughly describe the operational cooperation with Frontex.
The EU has established some solidarity measures to support EU Member States most affected by arrivals. These include EU funding, which is currently being revisited with the proposal to create two new funds: the Asylum and Migration Fund and the Internal Security Fund (in particular its instrument on borders and visas). The language of the instrument on borders and visas contains few references to fundamental rights. Fundamental rights are not addressed among the instrument's objectives and are therefore not part of the indicators proposed to measure achievements. The allocation of funds appears to be security focused and based on threat levels determined through consultation with Frontex.
Another solidarity tool is Frontex operational support. Considerable resources are devoted to Frontexcoordinated operations at sea. Such sea operations have primarily taken place in the Mediterranean and in the eastern Atlantic off the west African coast, with some 50 carried out by the end of 2012. Most Frontex maritime operations are organised under the EPN framework, a permanent regional border security network for the southern maritime borders of the EU.
Frontex-coordinated operations at sea have raised considerable fundamental rights concerns. In response to these, Frontex has taken significant steps to enhance fundamental rights compliance, by: spelling out specific duties in documents governing an operation; featuring fundamental rights more prominently in training activities; and setting up a clear duty for guest officers deployed through Frontex to report fundamental rights violations. Nevertheless, there are still aspects that remain to be addressed.

New York, December 6, 2012--Authorities should immediately investigate Wednesday's murder of a journalist in Russia's volatile North Caucasus and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Two unidentified men shot Kazbek Gekkiyev, 28, in the head three times while he was returning home from work with his friend at around 9 p.m. in Nalchik, the capital of the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, according to local and international news reports. The gunmen asked Gekkiyev his name before they shot him and then fled in a getaway vehicle, according to the state newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta. The journalist's friend was unharmed, news reports said.
Gekkiyev worked as a news anchor covering social issues for the regional branch of the state-owned broadcaster All-Russia State Television and Radio Company (VGTRK). Local journalists said that several VGTRK journalists had received threats in the past year and quit their jobs, according to the Moscow-based independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which regularly covers the North Caucasus. The paper also said that Islamist separatist fighters in the region had started publishing on websites threats against journalists working for state media and accusing them of "one-sided coverage of events," Novaya Gazeta reported.
"We are deeply saddened by the murder of Kazbek Gekkiyev and send our condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "Journalists must never face violence--or murder--for their work, and those crimes must never remain unpunished. We call on Russian authorities to stop the impunity in this and the 16 other unsolved killings of journalists in the country over the past decade."
Regional authorities immediately condemned the killing and pledged that the crime would be solved.
President Vladimir Putin ordered investigators to bring Gekkiyev's killers to justice, the independent news website Gazeta reported. Russia's Investigative Committee announced in a statement on its website that it was looking into Gekkiyev's journalism as a motive for his murder. The committee's spokesman, Vladimir Markin, said the murder was a "threat to other journalists speaking about results of the fight against the bandit underground in the republic," according to Reuters. Authorities often call insurgents "members of the bandit underground," according to news reports.
Journalism can be a deadly profession in Russia. CPJ's Impunity Index, which calculates unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of every country's population, has identified Russia as the ninth worst nation in the world for combating anti-press deadly violence. Among the unsolved murders over the past decade, at least six of them were slain in the North Caucasus region in retaliation for their journalism. In no cases have the perpetrators been brought to justice.
Responding to the global threat to journalism that impunity in attacks on the press causes, CPJ today launched its Speak Justice campaign. "Around the globe, more than 660 reporters, editors, photographers, and cameramen have been murdered, and in 90 percent of their cases, no perpetrator has been brought to justice," CPJ said. We invite readers to join us in a collective call against those who use murder--the ultimate weapon--to silence the press.

A Connecticut gas station's surveillance camera captured dramatic video of an SUV crashing into a convenience store, striking the clerk.
The Clinton Police Department released the video Thursday, one week after the Sept. 1 crash at the Shell gas station on 196 East Main St. in Clinton
"The vehicle, which was in the parking lot, made a sudden maneuver and we think the operator inadvertently pushed the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal," Clinton police Sgt. Jeremiah Dunn said last week.
U.S. & World
The video shows a car in the gas station parking lot ram through the store's door, pushing the clerk through a counter and burying him in debris. The clerk appears to struggle to stand up.
Police said the clerk was conscious and alert when officers arrived. He was transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment.
The owners of the store identified him as an extended family member and said he was seriously injured, but expected to recover.
NBC Connecticut reached out to the store this morning, but there was no answer.
The driver, who was not injured, was cited for reckless driving.

TAG: Getting to know you / 7 random things
Here goes for some rip-roaring facts about me :)
1.I have a purple car
2.I adore Kinder chocolate (I've been known to eat my way through 2 boxes of the individual wrapped 8 bar packs in one sitting quite happily)
3.I'm 5 foot 10 inches tall
4.I've not been to the cinema in over 6 years!
5.I've conceded that I no longer can fit in a size 12 at Topshop (is it me or are their sizes smaller than other stores or am I being delusional ?)
6.I'm a constant worrier, I tend to think the worse and then run with it!
7. I told myself this year I would cut down on my cosmetic spending, this resolution has worked wonders, as I worked out that I have spent more this month than normal, its like when I tell myself I need to eat more healthy and then find myself standing in boots on my lunch break with chocolate in hand….
I tag
5 comments:
Im 5ft 10 too!ReplyDelete
Im a size 10 in all pretty much brands. Except topshop jeans. They dont even come up to my knees! Its so frustratingly annoying!!!
Ooh thanks for the tag! I have to get round to doing a "7 things" post soon.ReplyDelete
I'd kill to be 5'10"! I'm only 5'1" :-(
Yep, Topshop sizes do come up smaller than any other store. Miles smaller. I always thought it was other stores making their sizes bigger though... as an ego boost for their customers. Not sure which way round it is!
Thanks for the tag, :) I'll try and get round to doing it as soon as possible.ReplyDelete
I'd be a total midget next to you I'm only 5'2" and find it a complete pain in the backside to find clothes that fit, they are always too long.
I do find Topshop sizes are cut a little smaller, especially their cardigans and jeans.
Kinder chocolate is also one of my favourites, in particular those little eggs you get at Christmas and easter, yummy.
Thanks for the tag, I'll get it done as soon as poss! I found you yesterday looking for swatches of some of the Illamasqua sale stuff. I'm gone catch up on some more of your reveiws next week.ReplyDelete
Hi Tali,ReplyDelete
Funny you are the same height! Wish I was a size 10, too much chocolate :)
Hi Beauty Scribbler,
I'll look forward to your post ! I'd heard that brands like M&S and next made their sizes a bit bigger as well, your right, probably as an ego boost!
Hi Pinksparkle84,
Yes, Topshop Jeans don't like me :)
Don't even get me started on the little Kinder eggs...we use to get them for Christmas when we were children and my mum still buys us them now.
Hi Sparklz and shine,
Their sale stuff is quite tempting, I'm really looking forward to their spring/summer collection, all I have heard of so far is the body sheen things.I'll keep an eye out for your post :)

Oregon's net farm income reached record-high US$1.03 billion in 2011, up from US$519M in 2010, state's agriculture dept. says; beef and dairy production values rose 34% and 28%, respectively
SALEM, Oregon
September 17, 2012
(press release)
– Oregon farmers and ranchers enjoyed one of the best bottom lines in recent times last year thanks to a combination of strong agricultural production and good prices for many of the state's crops and livestock. Despite concerns over historically high expenses, Oregon's net farm income in 2011 continues to show recovery from the impact of the recession.
"Overall, it was a great year," says Brent Searle, analyst with the Oregon Department of Agriculture. "Oregon net farm income last year nearly doubled from 2010 and was the highest it has been since 2004. The industry has come out of the trough and many sectors appear to have turned a corner."
A newly released economic snapshot of Oregon agriculture shows net farm income at nearly $1.03 billion in 2011. That's an improvement from the $519 million recorded in 2010 and continues a new trend of improving numbers after years of decline. Oregon's net farm income began a downward slide that ran through 2009 following 2004's record high of $1.14 billion.
Net farm income is essentially a see-saw with production value– which reflects the prices paid to growers for what they produce– on one side, expenses on the other. It is the amount retained by agricultural producers after paying all business-related expenses and is considered an important indicator of the agricultural economy's overall health. Think of it as the farmer's paycheck. Out of that paycheck, growers make payments on land purchases, family living expenses, and family health insurance. Statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS) show net farm income is cyclical. They also show that the average payout for Oregon farmers and ranchers may not be as high as you would expect from a near record breaking year for net farm income.
"On the whole, we are doing better, and that's the good news," says Searle. "But the income gains are not spread across all producers. The average farmer in Oregon last year earned $27,000, even with an overall net farm income for the state exceeding a billion dollars."
With Oregon's diverse agriculture, some producers did far better than the average while others not so well. Much of that depends on the size of the operation and certainly what they are producing. A look at individual commodities and how they performed last year shows some winners and losers.
"It came together for many commodities last year," says Searle. "There were good yields and good prices."
The overall value of production increased last year. Crop production in 2011 jumped to more than $3.3 billion– an increase of about 23 percent, while the value of Oregon livestock production was more than $1.3 billion– an increase of about 18 percent.
"Beef and dairy had good prices last year, " says Searle. "The value of beef production was up 34 percent and up 28 percent for dairy products. Crops did well too. Wheat set a record high in sales at more than $466 million, which was a 53 percent increase from 2010. Other field crops, such as hay, corn, and barley enjoyed their highest sales in years. Sweet cherries and blueberries have increased their production value tremendously the past couple of years. Again, Oregon 's diversified agriculture has helped overall net farm income."
However, what's good news for some producers is not so good for others. The higher prices received by feed crop growers were paid by livestock owners. The bottom line would have been much rosier for cattle and dairy operators, for instance, had they not been required to pay high prices for feed. In some cases, higher feed prices have led to herd liquidation, which initially depresses market prices, but then causes the prices consumers pay for beef and dairy cattle to rise. As inventories remain tight, prices will stay up in 2012 and 2013.
While net farm income has increased, controlling costs remains a major challenge and keeps income numbers from being even better. Last year's total expenses were a record high for Oregon at $4.3 billion.
"Feed costs were up almost 50 percent for livestock operators, fertilizer costs went up 36 percent, and the cost of petroleum fuels increased 28 percent," says Searle.
While rent and interest expenses were relatively flat– certainly good news for the expense side– labor costs were on the rise once again.
"The cost to pay farm employees– largely because we have so many specialty crops that require hand harvesting– is the single largest expense for Oregon farmers. Last year, it topped $1 billion. In fact, overall labor costs continue to be higher in Oregon than net farm income. In other words, the total paycheck to Oregon's farmworkers was larger than the total paycheck to Oregon's farmers. Both need to grow for ag to remain viable."
The 2011 figures for Oregon's neighbors show that they continue to enjoy an overall much higher net farm income. Washington grew to nearly $3 billion, Idaho increased to $2.4 billion, and agricultural giant California continues to lead the nation in net farm income at $16.3 billion. The national average increased 47 percent in 2011, compared to Oregon's increase of 98 percent. Oregon falls behind its neighbors in the average net farm income per producer. While Oregon's operators have seen an average $3,000 increase in their bottom line since 2007, Washington farmers have gained $30,000 on average, Idaho operators have gained $45,000 per farm, and California operators a whopping $100,000 more per farm in the past five years.
"For a variety of reasons, Oregon agriculture lags in its ability to generate more income as the growth takes place," says Searle. "Some of that is related to water access for irrigation, some to the types of crops and size of farms we have. Oregon has a higher percentage of small farms that generate less than $10,000 a year."
It will be late summer of 2013 before this year's balance sheet is finalized. So far, it appears many commodities are once again doing well even as livestock producer remain challenged by high feed costs.

NASA releases new high-resolution views of three Apollo moon landing sites, sent back by Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
NASA today released the sharpest views of three Apollo moon landing sites ever sent back by its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
"We all like to obsess and look at the Apollo landing site images because it's fun," said Arizona State University's Mark Robinson, principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC. "People actually used to be able to go to the moon. People used to explore the moon. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, that will continue again. But LROC is looking at the whole moon."
LRO's high-resolution camera has been looking at the whole moon, including all six of the Apollo landing sites, for the past two years. But these particular images are special because they were taken from the closest vantage point the orbiter will ever have during its $504 million mission. Because of adjustments in the car-sized probe's orbit, lately it's been flying as low as 14 miles (22 kilometers) above the lunar surface.
That means the resolution for these three landing sites — Apollo 12 in 1969, Apollo 14 in 1971 and Apollo 17 in 1972 — is twice as sharp as that seen in the previous images. Each pixel covers just 10 inches (25 centimeters), as opposed to 20 inches per pixel previously. "When I first took a look at these images, my jaw flopped to the ground," Noah Petro, a member of the LRO research team from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center said in a video featuring the new imagery.
This image from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows the tracks and the trash left behind by the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
The picture of the Apollo 17 site in the moon's Taurus-Littrow valley is sharp enough to show the tracks of the astronauts and their lunar rover in unprecedented detail. You can make out the lunar module's descent stage (dubbed "Challenger"), as well as the module's experimental pallet, the ladder leading down to the lunar surface (it's a bright prominence at the 9 o'clock point on the inset enlargement of Challenger) and the life-support backpacks that Gene Cernan and Harrison "Jack" Schmitt threw out of the ascent module just before they took off (labeled as PLSS ... portable life support system ... in the picture above).
Robinson said the new imagery initially raised questions about the debris that was scattered around the descent stage. "There seemed to be too much 'stuff' on the ground," he told reporters. Later, the scientists figured out that the excess "stuff" was actually packing material for the instruments, as well as insulation that was blown off the descent stage during the Apollo 17 astronauts' takeoff.
Off to the right of the frame, Apollo 17's lunar rover (labeled as LRV) shows up in such detail that "if you squint really hard, you can begin to resolve the seats and the fact that the wheels were left turned slightly to the left," Robinson said.
Robinson said he had to check with Schmitt to confirm some of the features he thought he saw in the latest imagery. Schmitt was suitably impressed. "Jack's comment was, 'We need to image the whole valley at this resolution.' I agree with him," Robinson reported. Check out this video for a guided tour of the Apollo 17 site based on the new views.
Apollo 14 and Apollo 12
The pictures show traces of the experiments left behind by the moon missions — giving the lie to claims that humans never traveled to the moon. The experimental retroreflectors left behind several Apollo missions are still used to calibrate laser-ranging devices on Earth and even LRO's instruments in lunar orbit.
Apollo 14's experimental package, known as ALSEP, is visible as a bright spot on the new LRO image below. You can also see a detailed image of the Antares lunar module's descent stage near the Fra Mauro crater, and the tracks left by the astronauts and their rickshaw-style cart as they moved around the surface:

This picture from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter shows tracks left behind by Apollo 14 astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell as they roved around the lunar surface.
Unfortunately, not even the latest imagery is sharp enough to show the golf balls that Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard said he sent flying for "miles and miles and miles" on the moon in 1971. "Those are too small to be resolved," Robinson said.
The Apollo 12 picture shows the tracks left by Pete Conrad and Alan Bean after NASA's second moon landing in 1969. Scientists say the two bright streaks forming an "L" shape around the ALSEP experimental station are reflective cables leading to two of the scientific instruments left behind. The astronauts also paid visits to small craters surrounding the landing site, as well as the place where the unmanned Surveyor 3 probe landed two years earlier:
This LRO image shows the areas visited by Apollo 12 astronauts in 1969.
What lies ahead?
What about the other Apollo landing sites? "It wasn't possible to image easily all six sites," said Richard Vondrak, LRO project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. For example, the lighting conditions during the times when the probe flew over the Apollo 11 landing site weren't optimal for producing higher-resolution pictures, he said.
Robinson said the Apollo pictures made up just a small fraction of the 1,500 narrow-angle images taken during the orbiter's super-close-up series of orbits. Now the spacecraft is now in the process of moving into a wider orbit for the mission's next phase of scientific observations. "These are the sharpest images that we plan for this mission," Vondrak said.
Vondrak said the amount of data returned by the LRO mission so far amounts to 245 terabytes, which is equivalent to the amount of data contained in a stack of 52,000 DVDs. "If you took this stack and put it on the ground floor of the Capitol Building in Washington, it would reach to the top of the Capitol Dome," he said.
LRO could keep going for several more years, and we'll continue to see lower-resolution pictures of the Apollo landing sites as the mission proceeds. Beyond the fun factor, the LRO team uses the Apollo pictures to study how the sites look under different lighting conditions, as well as reference points for determining precise locations in other lunar imagery, Robinson said.
The pictures also will come in handy for planning future missions to the moon, said Jim Green, director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. The next lunar mission, known as Grail, is due for launch this week.
LRO "really provides a rich opportunity to map the moon and allow us to contemplate additional sites where samples of a special nature could be determined, and then future missions could potentially be planned," Green said.
"Relative to exploration," Green continued, "indeed, LRO has been used extensively to be able to provide the exploration people [with] the kind of altimeter and high-resolution maps for them to be able to plan potential future sites that humans may want to go to on the moon, as plans emerge."
When do you think humans will follow robotic spacecraft to the moon? Or will the robots do such a good job that we won't need to send humans? Feel free to weigh in with your comments below.
Short video showing the new images and identifying important features of the Apollo missions.
Update for 5:10 p.m. ET: Will the tracks and the trash from the Apollo missions be visible forever?
"Forever is a long time," Robinson said, "so the answer is no, they won't be there forever."
Robinson noted that the moon is constantly being bombarded by cosmic debris, ranging from bits of grit to giant asteroids.
"Slowly, over time, first, the tracks will disappear," he said. "They'll be all ground into, mixed into the soil. Then the smaller pieces of equipment will disappear. Eventually, the descent stages will get probably blasted with a larger asteroid. From Apollo rocks and other analyses that were done, we know that a rock erodes at something like the rate of 1 millimeter per million years. It's very slow. So in human terms it may seem like forever. But in geologic terms probably there will be no traces of Apollo exploration, oh, let's say in 10 [million] to 100 million years."

Suhail Khan is a member of the American Conservative Union's board of directors. ACU hosts and operates the Conservative Political Action Committee's annual conference, and during this week's CPAC conference in Washington, Khan has come under fire for alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood. During a panel on conservative inclusion at CPAC on Saturday, Khan flatly declared that there is no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.
(h/t WeaselZippers)
There were two ideological flash points for pre-CPAC boycotts, protests, and vitriol. One, very well covered, was the anger that social conservatives -- including ACU board member Cleta Mitchell -- harbored about the inclusion of the gay Republican group GOProud. One, less well-covered, came from "anti-Jihadist" activists who consider ATR President Grover Norquist and ACU board member Suhail Khan supplicants of the Muslim threat to America.
The anti-jihadists did not boycott the event. Pamela Gellar and Robert Spencer held two crowded screenings of their film "The Ground Zero Mosque: Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks," not sponsored by CPAC, but across from the main ballroom. David Horowitz, the leftist-turned-conservative muckraker, got the speaking slot right after Haley Barbour. He used most of his time to blister Khan and Norquist, accusing them of working on the behalf of terrorists, in line with the plans of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"Suhail Khan used his offices in the Bush administration," said Horowitz, "with Grover's support, to carry water for the terrorist Sami al Arian."
Khan told Slate:
"These are old, tired, baseless attacks that have been debunked by reputable sources," said Khan. "This is baseless, and they're coming from people who are becoming more and more marginalized."
On Horowitz in particular: "I'm not surprised. This is a former communist who's still using Saul Alinsky tactics. A few years ago, I was supposed to be part of al Qaeda. Now it's the Muslim Brotherhood. It's whatever's in the news."

I'm trying to do an FTP install of arch from the 0.6 iso and I've heard how great this distro is, but this install is way to buggy.
I booted from the CD, loaded the setup, configured the network, partioned, and selected the packages fine, but when i went to install the packages I got the error 'One or more packages failed to download. You can try again by re-selecting Install Packages from the main menu.' When I looked at the log screen you get by pressing alt + f5, I saw that pacman had downloaded, but then it said '/arch/setup: 1139: pacman: not found' and the same on the next line.
I tried selecting the packages on a different server, but when it prompted 'Would you like to select a different server?' and I selected yes, it started to download the package list from the same server. So I had to reboot and tried it with 2 other servers and it still didn't work.
Next, I figured I would try installing from the CD. Once I finished and rebooted (yes, I took the CD out), and before the boot loader came up an L and the number 99 about 50 times, looking something like:
99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 ... and so on.
I tried using Lilo and Grub (not at the same time) and they both did the L 99 thing. I tried the FTP install once more, but I got the same pacman error.
If anyone knows how to fix these problems or just what's going wrong, please reply.
I dont suggest the ftp install as the servers are undergoing directory changes i think.. And also i dunno if the ftp install will work anymore as the pacman version is older there... Try doing the install cd option after searching google with the lilo and grub problem.. I have seen it many times..
There is a ton of stuff on the 99 problem... A few of them are bad hd controllers, Bad kernels, Bad motherboards and cpus, And thats just from one thread.. Have you tried linux before.. If so did you have that error..
as mentioned the repositories have undergone a few changes in the last few days that are likely causing the errorsx for your ftp install. with the cd install issues .... it sounds possibly like your lilo config file is not correctly set up. You say your grub gave you the same errors .... i don't think it is possible.
i had that lilo error many moons ago but don't remember how i fixed or if I did because that was well before i came to arch. i suggest check google.com/linux for what that error means or finding an online lilo manpage that may help you out. usually lilo errors boil down to lilo.conf errors.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Currently, you can still access the repository using the old path. It will likely stay like that till the next release.

I have the same problem with ftp-installation. I tried several servers, but it doesn´t change anything.
Doesn´t ftp-installtion work anymore? A few days ago i had no problems with that.
Is it possible to install from CD and upgrade after reboot without any problems (i hope so).
yes you can install from cd then upgrade ..... as always i recommend only installing the base packages and any other packages you may need to get online. after that you can upgrade the base then install whatever you want/need
likely the ftp install is broken because of the pacman in the install may be too old.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Ok, i have done this and it seems to work. I only had to use pacman with -f option.
There is a ton of stuff on the 99 problem... A few of them are bad hd controllers, Bad kernels, Bad motherboards and cpus, And thats just from one thread.. Have you tried linux before.. If so did you have that error..
Yes, I have used Red hat before on that system and it worked fine.
I guess I'll just do a CD install and figure out what's wrong with lilo, unless someone thinks I should use Grub.
Thanks everybody.
well you could give grub a try. but the lilo on the disc should work.
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Lilo seems to give people less trouble. Maybe its only because I keep telling people that...
feh. in my experience it is lilo that is the trouble maker ... unless you are trying to use a separate /boot partition then grub can be difficult.
of course all this could be solved by a nice mandrake like install procedure
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
arch grub install scripts always worked for me in separate boot partition.
I've had this same problem yesterday.
You must do the partitioning/formatting/mounting exactly correct!!!!!!!
If you do that it should work. Otherwise you get:One or more packages failed to download.
Just choose base, the rest can you install after reboot.
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy
feh. in my experience it is lilo that is the trouble maker ...
Everything works differently in Manitoba...
yeah grub works here but not in that god forasaken heckhole you live in
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
Hey! I don't live here! I just exist!
Well, I tried another CD install and somehow got 'er booted. Thanks for all the help and recommendations. I'm not sure why it worked this time, but I think it did have something to do with the conf files.
Hi, I'm new to archlinux and I'm really enjoying it.
I also had the pacman error when trying an ftp install.
So, if you must get an ftp install working, do the following:
boot to 0.6 Archlinux cd, get your network setup etc, then:
cp arch/setup arch/setup.backup
nano -w arch/setup
ctrl+w pacman [enter]
scroll down a little to line 532/1143 (use ctrl+c to see what line you're on), which says
snarf ftp://${SYNC_SERVER}${SYNC_PATH}/setup/pacman.pkg.tar.gz >$LOG 2>&1 || msg "Error downloading pacman!" Try another server." || return 1
and add edit it as follows
snarf ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/current/setup/pacman.pkg.tar.gz >$LOG 2>&1 || msg "Error downloading pacman!" Try another server." || return 1
(or replace "ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/archlinux/current/" with your favourite mirror)
now run /arch/setup and choose ftp install and all should be good.
hope this helps
I think it's worth filling a bug report http://bugs.archlinux.org
i thought this issue was dealt with a few days ago?
AKA uknowme
I am not your friend
It was. All ftp installs will work with no changes now.

Air Force leaders admitted to Congress Thursday the service was wrong not to immediately install a backup oxygen system and is only now getting around to making fixes to the F-22's oxygen schedule recommended in 2005.
The Air Force has spent the past two years trying to determine why their F-22 pilots suffer hypoxia-like symptoms in flight with many reporting feeling light-headed, weak and nauseous. Service officials have repeatedly grounded the F-22 fleet as the fifth generation fighter still flies under altitude and distance restrictions because of fears for pilots' safety.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Charlie Lyon, Air Combat Command's director of operations, Clinton Cragg, principal engineer at NASA's Engineering and Safety Center, and retired Air Force Gen. Gregory Martin, head of Air Force Scientific Advisory Board study on the F-22's problems, each testified before Congress on the steps the Air Force has taken to make the F-22 safer. Cragg joined the hearing because NASA, along with the Navy and Marine Corps, has aided the Air Force in its research.
Air Force leaders had declared that they have identified a the culprits causing the problems for pilots to include the breathing regulator/anti-g (BRAG) valve on the Combat Edge upper pressure garment. The Air Force is replacing the valve, installing a new back-up oxygen system and changing the oxygen schedule for the F-22's onboard oxygen generation system (OBOGS).
Engineers and scientists had recommended the Air Force change the oxygen schedule for the OBOGS in 2005. The Air Force chose not to. The changes being made now are more comprehensive, Lyon said.
Martin also told Congress the Air Force should have installed a back up oxygen system. Original designs for the F-22 included the back up system, but they were scrapped in order to save weight.
"In retrospect, that was not an appropriate decision," Martin said.
The Air Force expects to have the first back up oxygen systems installed by January and finish the install to the rest of the fleet by 2014.
At the beginning of the Air Force's investigation into the F-22, officials suspected the breathing problems were caused by toxins getting into the cockpit. Cragg said his NASA scientists agreed with the Air Force's conclusion that this was not the case.
Martin made a pitch during the hearing to Congress to re-invest in the Air Force's human systems integration program. He said some of the problems found in the investigation of the F-22's oxygen system could have been caught earlier. He blamed down sizing of the military in the 1990s.
"Flight medicine, aviation physiology, and research and development atrophied significantly in those years, at the time the airplane was going into a different environment," Martin said. "All the people that would normally have done the testing and evaluation and all the things we do to learn about those environments were no longer in the military, no longer in our civilian workforce."

Why does the ICC include an electronic learning portfolio requirement?
One of the overarching goals of the ICC and Ithaca College's other IC20/20 initiatives is for students to understand and articulate how their experiences in the classroom and outside of the classroom, such as the residential experience, student activities, athletics, and student employment, have contributed to their learning. Your portfolio account allows you to collect artifacts (assignments or other tangible products) of your learning and reflections on your learning over the course of your time here so that, when you graduate, you can articulate how your college learning experiences in totality have contributed to your development of specific knowledge and skills. Additionally, the College can examine the content of the portfolios to document how well students as a whole are meeting the institution's learning outcomes and use this information to make program changes where needed.

The number of apps available in Microsoft's Windows Phone Marketplace is dwarfed by the number of apps available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. But soon, those of you who took a risk with a Windows phone won't have to fret that the world's favorite photo app isn't available: Instagram is coming to Windows Phones.
The Verge was initially tipped off about the app's existence when a reader thought he noticed Instagram featured in the Nokia promo video featuring its PureMotion technology. This wouldn't be the first time Nokia inadvertently unveiled a big new app in a promo video; Nokia's promo video demonstrating a Lumia charging on a wireless charging dock "accidentally" unveiled Skype's Windows Phone app in action.
We re-watched the video and could make out what might be the Instagram app during the PureMotion demo, but we couldn't be sure. The tile in question is displayed toward the end of the promo clip and displays the words "Walk Up," and is accompanied by a comment and "Like" button that's uncanny to the silhouette of the talk balloon and heart button that you would find on Instagram. But a secondary explanation could be that the app is actually Vimeo.
Whatever the case may be, The Verge has confirmed that Instagram will be making its way onto Windows Phones.
ZDNet theorized that Facebook's purchase of Instagram would result in the app coming to Windows Phones, and it looks like they were right. Facebook has a tight-knit relationship with Microsoft, which purchased a stake in Facebook back in 2007. Further, the Federal Trade Commission finally approved the Instagram and Facebook deal after conducting an investigation due to antitrust concerns. Had the deal been blocked by the FTC, Instagram would have walked away with $200 million from Facebook for its troubles.
A consumer's decision on purchasing a smartphone these days has a lot to do with what the complimenting app store has to offer. Microsoft's Marketplace has cracked the 100,000 app mark, while Apple has broken 700,000 apps. The Google Play store is hot on Apple's tail with more than 500,000 apps. That said, the number of apps isn't everything; a large number of apps go unused simply by getting lost in the mix. In other words, it's a matter of quality over quantity — how many of the main app titles an app store can get from existing popular apps like Skype, Instagram, and Angry Birds. Of course getting apps like Skype, Instagram, and even Angry Birds onto the Marketplace came courtesy of existing Microsoft relationships.
Windows Phone users — are you excited for Instagram? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
[Update: According to VentureBeat, Instagram is not heading to Windows Phone anytime soon. A source says no such application is going to be released, although representatives wouldn't comment on potential products. And there you have it: Instagram's Windows Phone fate continues to hang in the balance.]

How to Choose an Inground Pool Cleaner
Automatic inground pool cleaners are quite different and more complex than above ground pool cleaners, as inground pool cleaners have more power to clean on slops, water level transitions and curves in your pool. This added power also helps an inground pool cleaner stay flat and level on the pool's wall, bottom or steps and have more vacuum suction to clean thoroughly.
There are three different types of automatic inground pool cleaners: robotic, suction and pressure. How do you know which inground pool cleaner is best for your pool?
Do you have a dedicated cleaner line?
This is a pipe that runs from the pool equipment pad to a central point on the side of the pool. It's a dedicated because the pipe is not used for any other purposes. If you already have a dedicated cleaner pipe, that makes the choice easy, install a booster pump and time clock and use a pressure pool cleaner.
Inground pool cleaner lines can be a vacuum line installed in front of the pool pump, which is common on older pools and used with suction cleaners. Dedicated vacuum lines can also be used as a pressure line and operate pressure cleaners with an attached booster pump. If the pipe is a vacuum line, it can be converted to a pressure line with simple plumbing, or use the line as-is with a suction cleaner and an in-line strainer.
Do you have BIG debris or small debris?
For pools surrounded by large trees and other landscaping features that sheds larger leaves or debris, your best non-clogging inground cleaner would be any pressure cleaner. Some of the more popular pressure cleaners are Polaris 360, Kreepy Krauly Legend and Hayward TriVac. The Aquabot Breeze 4WD is also effective on large leaf volumes.
For desert environments, or pools with small-sized debris and debris in smaller amounts, suction cleaners are a quite popularKreepy Krauly and Pool Vac cleaners have been cleaning inground pools for over 40 years. Suction pool cleaners, which includes robotic pool cleaners, are available at a wide range of price points, and suction cleaners come with many different features. However, if your pool fills up with leaves and debris every spring and fall, most suction and many robotic cleaners will clog up too often requiring intervention or manual cleaning of the pool.
Do you have a VINYL pool?
Most inground pool cleaners are suitable for all pool types, plaster, pebble, fiberglass, tile and vinyl. All cleaners are smooth and rounded with no sharp edges, but some cleaners use different parts for vinyl pools like the cork shoes on the Pool Vac or the sponge brushes on the Aquabot. Aside from these two examples, if not mentioned otherwise, all cleaners are made for any pool surface type. However, most cleaner manufacturers caution that damage to vinyl liners could occur if the pool floor is very uneven, wrinkled, or if the cleaner gets stuck in the same spot each day. For vinyl pools, suction cleaners (or Polaris 165) may be preferred for their simplicity and slow speeds as well as their softer touch, but pressure and robotic cleaners can also be used.
Do you have Steep Slopes, Coves, Shelfs or Uneven Floors?
For very steep slopes from shallow to deep end, or sharp inclines – this can trap some low powered pool cleaners, although adjustments can be made to improve power or change direction. Inground pools with coves or grottos with small entrances may be ignored by some cleaners, and shallow Baja shelfs, high steps or benches may also remain untouched by most pool cleaners. Most cleaners won't clean high sidewalls but are still able to remove most debris which naturally settles to lower points in the pool. Very large inground pools often need extension hoses or robotic cleaners with longer cords, and many use a fast pool cleaner that can clean the entire pool in 2-3 hours.
If you still have questions or need help choosing the right inground pool cleaner, feel free to call our pool experts at 1-877-766-5287, and we'll be happy to help you out.

Malloy balks at Metro-North budget hikes
Calls on MTA for explanation as state faces 57.6 percent increase in expenditures for line
Pledging to spare New Haven Line riders a new fare hike, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy demanded Aug. 14 the Metropolitan Transportation Authority explain tens of millions in added costs it expects Connecticut to pay to keep trains running for the next five years.
In response to a report last week by Hearst Connecticut Media, Malloy asked MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast to provide details on how it tallied new figures that pushed Connecticut's share to run the New Haven Line surging from $70.8 million in 2013 to $111.6 million through the end of 2014 to cover higher wages and costs of safety initiatives. Through 2018, the state's subsidy to run the New Haven Line and the other branch lines would average above $100 million.
"It should go without saying that Connecticut expects Metro-North to control expenses and live within the approved budget for 2015," Malloy wrote.
Malloy also asked for an accounting of $1 billion in cost reductions the plan shows the agency has achieved since 2010 to determine if the agency is giving due weight to savings made on the New Haven Line.
The draft 2015 to 2018 budget for the MTA also keeps previously approved 4 percent fare hikes on Metro-North riders at New York stations in both March 2015 and 2017 steady despite higher cost estimates.
"In the financial plan released last week, the MTA touts significant expense savings, but calls for fare increases in 2015 and 2017 that could impact the New Haven Line," Malloy said. "Those points don't seem to add up. I would like a full accounting of Connecticut's share of the proposed savings that were reported in the budget plan."
The higher costs do not include an estimated $41.5 million in higher wages through 2018, including $16.9 million in 2014 alone to cover back wages for Metro-North workers who have worked without contracts since 2010. Those higher wages are forecast based on Metro-North workers receiving the same raise as their Long Island Rail Road counterparts who settled a contract in July. The LIRR workers are set to receive a 17 percent wage increase over 6 ½ years under the agreement.
Metro-North and the MTA would share the information requested and explain their calculations as soon as possible, Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said.
"The MTA and Metro-North Railroad have always worked diligently to provide the most efficient service possible," Anders said. "The MTA has cut more than $1 billion from its annual budget since 2010, and despite rising costs, has committed to future fare increases in New York state at no more than the rate of inflation."
Metro-North fare hikes for Connecticut riders are proposed by the sitting governor and subject to a public hearing process. Connecticut commuters currently pay about 75 percent of the cost of operating the railroad through fares, while the remainder is subsidized by the state.
On Thursday, Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Jim Redeker said he expected Prendergast to share precise details of New York's proposed fare increase and account for Connecticut's share of what he said was $1.3 billion in cost savings since 2008.
Redeker was emphatic that Connecticut will not impose a fare increase on riders in 2015 and said questions about how the state would potentially reallocate money to cover higher costs to avoid a potential fare increase were premature until the state reviews the MTA's calculations.
"We further expect the budget we adopted based on Metro-North's submissions they will live with because they are supposed to live within their budget," Redeker said. "When things happen for real as opposed to hypothetical things I'll have a discussion about it."
Hearst Connecticut's review of the MTA's plan also found an estimated $142.3 million through 2018 to cover new safety initiatives in the wake of a dismal 2013 that included two major derailments -- one in Bridgeport that injured 76 people and another in the Spuyten Duyvil section of the Bronx that killed four passengers. The two derailments and a string of other mishaps focused federal scrutiny on the railroad, leading to mandated and costly improvements to tracks, signals, and other training programs.
Connecticut riders have paid fare hikes of more than 4 percent at the start of each of the past three years on top of a series of 1 and 1.25 percent increases through 2018 to pay for Metro-North's new fleet of M-8 cars. The 4 percent added increases were put in place by Malloy in 2011 to help deal with a budget deficit after state workers rejected $1 billion in concessions.
The most recent 5 percent increase imposed in January went into effect amid the New Haven Line's worst service performance in decades due to the impact of comprehensive track and signal overhauls and mishaps that led to protracted service disruptions caused by a botched maintenance job at a Mount Vernon, N.Y., substation that crippled service for 13 days.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., also weighed in Thursday saying it was inequitable to ask New Haven Line riders to shoulder additional costs when the MTA is estimating significant cost savings across the agency.
"It would be an increased financial burden to cover the rest of the MTA transit system such as subways and other railroads on one of the busiest transportation corridors in the country," Blumenthal said.

Simon looks at what the near-future holds for the Wii-U and also looks at why the console hasn't been too popular recently.
I don't think it will be "insignificant", but the issue is lack of support, both from Nintendo and from 3rd parties especially. Nintendo chose to launch first. There is no doubt that was intentional. However, by failing to have a killer first year, they've blown a massive advantage.
My fear for the console is this: the 3DS. Nintendo cannot afford to lose their handheld market. Through the dark days (in terms of marketshare) of the N64 and Gamecube, the handheld line always kept Nintendo afloat. Since the 3DS has more competition than ever before, Nintendo needs to make SURE that it succeeds. To do this, they have to divert attention away from the WiiU (which is what they're already doing).
I disagree with the author that it needs games like Mario Galaxy 3 (or an equivalent 3D Mario). What WiiU needs is a Wii Sports equivalent, Mario Kart, or more 2D Mario (which is the only game currently driving the hardware in large numbers). The Wii's popularity (directly due to Wii Sports, Mario Kart, 2D Mario, etc) allowed more niche titles to be developed for the system. You can't focus on the niche market first while ignoring the mainstream.
As of now yea you'd could say that the Wii U is insignificant but come this fall that could all change. #E3 ;)
hmmmmm i want to weigh in without ppl getting offended. Now it is insignificant to many but come fall yes it will have some good staple ips on the horizon and will catch interest, however i do believe it will be nowhere near the interest of the ps4/xbox and even its staple ips wont make it a successful console as say the other big two. Wiiu disappointed many not just in terms of lack of software to this point but just the overall package to many is underwhelming. Ps4 and rumored xbox is just in another league according to professionals like Digital Foundry and such and Wiiu just isnt doing it for many.
that being said Wiiu may not have the success that Wii had but i believe it will have some success and have some good games to play soon (not saying there arent any now just not that many). I admit when it drops below 200 and it gets a new Zelda game ill probably buy into one but at this point it has nothing for me or anything better than what my ps3 offers.

Get a good night's sleep when you move into a new home—and for years thereafter—by sending for a quality mattress. (NAPS)
(NAPSI)—If you're one of the 35 million Americans moving this
year—and even if you're not—consider replacing your old mattress
with an easy direct-to-consumer online brand. Here's why:
1. Price—After all the
costs of hiring professionals to wrap and ship your mattress, you may already
be looking at more than it would cost to buy a new one. Also, it's
worth taking into account that the Better Sleep Council recommends replacing
your mattress every seven to 10 years, so if your mattress falls into that
category, it's time for an upgrade anyway.
2. Sleep Trials—Trying
out dozens of mattresses in-store for a few seconds at a time isn't a
good indication of how you're going to actually like sleeping on it day
in and day out. The only way to truly tell if it's the right fit for
you is to be able to sleep on it at your home for an extended time. No
brick-and-mortar mattress brand offers that type of superextend sleep trial.
However, Nectar Sleep, an online mattress brand, offers a 365-Night Trial that lets you
actually try out the mattress in the comfort of your own home to be totally
sure it's the right fit for you. For added convenience, the company
also offers free returns and pickup.
3. Hidden Delivery Fees—The
price tag you see in stores may not take into account shipping and handling,
which is a cost you need to pay and can add a considerable amount to the
final bill. When buying a mattress from most online companies, the price you
see is the price you pay, which includes shipping.
4. High Quality—The
technology of today means you can have a high-quality product without going
store to store to compare. Brands such as DreamCloud specialize in luxury quality mattresses at what most would consider an
affordable price, available exclusively with easy online ordering. Combining
patent-pending coil technology with hand-tufting across eight handcrafted
layers of latex, memory foam and cooling gel, along with a cashmere-blend
top, a DreamCloud mattress features just about everything you'd want
with a price tag considerably less expensive than its competitors.

Smart Folders For Windows [AddictiveTips Apps]
Do you want to get iOS and Android folder creation functionality in Windows, where folders can be created using simple drag & drop of one app over another? Although Windows 7 has a ton of highly interactive and user-friendly features, the method of creating a folder remains the same to what we saw back in Windows 98, requiring you to create a separate folder, and then put files into that folder by hand. Today, AddictiveTips brings you Smart Folders to save you not only the time, but also the effort, involved in organizing files into folders. It's a free application for Windows that lets you create folders via simple drag & drop of file(s) over another.
It will help you quickly organize images, documents, audio files etc., into folders, without having to go through the hassle of creating separate folders prior to moving the files. All you need is to drag the file(s) on top of another file, and the application will ask you to enter the name of the folder that you want to create. Once specified, a folder will be created in the same location and the files automatically added in it. When you run the application for the first time, click Install to register the file extensions.
Once done, you can start creating folders. The app is registered for all extensions by default, but since Windows and some other apps register themselves for specific file extensions, you may have to perform some manual associations. To register manually, enter the file extension and click Register.
It will add the specified file type in Registered File Extensions list. When you want to unregister a file type, select it from the list, and the click Unregister.
You can drag multiple files over any file to quickly group them up in a folder.
When you drag the file over another, it will ask you to specify the output folder name. Just enter the name and then click OK to create folder in current location.
The screencast below will help you better understand its usage.
The application can be uninstalled using the Uninstall option available on main interface. It will unregister all the file extensions, and then remove the application. Smart Folders works on Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Both 32-bit and 64-bit OS are supported.

Can you hear me now? It's Tiger, on 10th green
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Tiger Woods was on the 10th green, cell phone in hand.
It's not what you think.
Turns out Woods was simply giving an old friend a hand.
U.S. & World
"He was helping me with my putting," Mark O'Meara said. "I had a loop in my putting stroke. He wanted to film my putting stroke."
Being caught on camera, cell phone in hand, by an Associated Press photographer probably wasn't the best thing for Woods, who spent the previous day kicking off a campaign to rehabilitate his image.
Not only did it conjure images of the racy texts he allegedly sent mistresses, it may have violated a club policy at Augusta National banning cell phones on the course.
"We ask players not to use their cell phones," club spokesman Steve Ethun said. "We would make exceptions if players were using any kind of recording device during a practice round."
That's what O'Meara said they were doing.
Woods played a practice round Tuesday with O'Meara, the former Masters champion who befriended him when he first turned pro.

NEW YORK (AP) — Courtney B. Vance has won the first Tony Award of the night, taking the trophy for best featured actor in a play after host Neil Patrick Harris opened the show with a high-octane song boasting this night would be bigger than ever.
Vance, who was previously nominated for Tonys for "Fences" and "Six Degrees of Separation," won for playing a newspaper editor opposite Tom Hanks in "Lucky Guy."
The Tonys are being broadcast live by CBS from Radio City Music Hall. Harris is back for his fourth turn as emcee and leads a show featuring talented children and pulse-pounding musical numbers.
"Kinky Boots" and "Matilda the Musical" are the front-runners for top musical, while those for best play are "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" and "The Assembled Parties."

Climber of 30-foot fall in Rocky Mountain National Park identified
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK — The 22 year-old man, who fell 30 feet to his death in Rocky Mountain National Park while climbing Batman Pinnacle on Lumpy Ridge, has been identified as Corey Stewart of Newton, New Jersey. He was enrolled as a student at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, according to park officials.
The man reportedly was engaged in traditional climbing using climbing gear and a rope, though details of how the incident happened were not released due to the investigation being ongoing, according to Park spokesperson Kyle Patterson.
The fall took place in a popular rock climbing area on the east side of the Park, on Thursday, Aug. 22.
Park officials said people on scene of the incident started CPR on the victim within minutes, though he did not recover.
The man's body was located about two miles from the Lumpy Ridge Trailhead in steep, rugged terrain with loose rocks and scree. Heavy rain and lightning delayed recovery efforts until Friday, Park officials said. Rangers remained at the scene overnight and conducted the recovery the next day.

The Walking Dead Season 2 in late 2013 (not 2014)
Telltale issues an update to Game Informer: "The current estimated release window for Season Two of The Walking Dead is for fall of this year (2013), and not 'next' year (2014) as has been reported after a recent interview. We apologize for any confusion and thank you and all of our fans for your continued excitement for Telltale's series."
Original Story: The Walking Dead won our Game of the Year and left us eager for more, but the waiting may be longer than anticipated. Telltale Games co-founder and CEO Dan Connors says the studio is targeting the latter part of 2014.
"Were aiming for fall next year," Connors told Eurogamer just after receiving the BAFTA Game Award for Best Story.
Thats a long time to wait for the next chapter, which Telltale plans to mitigate with some kind of stop-gap solution. Writer Gary Whitta hinted at this recently, and Connors said more details will be coming soon. After joking that Whitta has been thrown into a pit of zombies for letting the plans slip, Connors then said, "Well probably have something to announce fairly soon about what were going to do. Itll be different."
And while Connors didnt share very specific details on whats next for the series, he did drop a few hints. He said that the next season "will be more related to our stuff than the show, but any time we can get close to the show, we love that."

Obsidian Dome is a glassy rhyolite (obsidian) dome easily accessible from highway 395 in eastern California. Most Californians are familiar with obsidian, having seen Native American tools and projectile points made from it in museums. Many of us have even come across nodules and chunks of it while hiking in the right areas. Rarely is it encountered in such tremendous blocks and boulders such as those that abound in the piedmont around the base of this particular dome. Its a really beautiful sight.
