Learn about homestead heating with solar power and how it can help keep costs down while using green energy.
Homestead Heating With Solar Power
Sunshine Power — heating a home by harvesting the energy which flows freely down from above — is a relatively new concept for homestead. However, reams of money and heavy brainwork over the years have gone into sophisticated solar power projects and that research can now be turned to light — or rather, heat — a place in the outback.
In the past, most buildings which have successfully utilized solar heat have been costly experiments aimed at proving an adaptability for suburban homes. This meant working within the limits of traditional suburban architecture to a large degree. Back at the homestead, outside of this genteel straitjacket, the subtle art of sunshine power can be more properly exploited. If your place is away from it all, and you like the idea of a cheap heating plant which isn't helping to use up the last of our fossil fuels — the sun may be for you!
The basic principle of solar heating, long used for building greenhouses, is that the transparency of glass is greater for visible light than for the infra-red part of the light spectrum. Early attempts at the solar house relied extensively on this single principle. The first models, developed in the early Thirties by Prof. F. W. Hutchinson, were almost conventional structures save for their oversize windows on the south side. They were fine so long as the sun was shining . . . but eventually used more fuel than conventional homes because — soon after nightfall — the large area of exposed glass lost all the heat which had been gathered during the day. A heating system which goes into reverse at sunset and never starts up at all on cloudy days is obviously not much competition for the fossil fuel burners.
There are ways to change this situation for the better, however. Insulated glass has solved the reversal problem and interior shutters which close over the windows at night provide an additional barrier against heat loss. Even in a normal house, with regular single-pane windows, interior shutters can cut heating bills by thirty percent. This was shown in a number of test houses situated between latitudes 40-43 degrees (e.g. New York-Nebraska) . . . not the warmest of winter's zones. Incidentally, well-sealed double-pane windows or insulated glass can reduce heat loss by an additional 20 percent (same ordinary homes, same area).
Our first design principle then, is: Use Large South Facing Windows With Solid Interior Shutters To Be Closed At Night.
These windows need not be conventional, or expensive. As Rex Reed points out in his very useful Your Engineered House — (J. P. Lippincott 1964) a window does not also have to be a ventilator (it needn't open), so a simple homemade unit can offer large windows at low prices. Reed points out that you can make a wall out of glass as easily as from anything else. A simple design from his book is shown with this article (See the Image Gallery).
The framework is a simple box of 1 inch boards as wide as the thickness of the wall. Narrow strips are nailed on to form channels for the glass, which is set in at an angle. These holding channels can be made fairly tight, so that a little caulking rather than a lot of putty will make a windproof seal. An added advantage is that the sills are now on the outside, and so is the dust that settles on them. One less chore to do!
You could use insulated glass for the angled sun catcher panels . . . but a cheaper and quite adequate solution would be to hang a sheet of heavy duty clear plastic over the entire window wall for the winter.
You will need ventilation, but not through the windows. Reed suggests simple screened openings, fitted with solid (heat barrier) doors that can be closed when needed. Unlike windows, these vents can be located solely to take advantage of the best cool air flows in the summertime. (Take a look at Reed's book — his ideas on door construction alone seem worth the price.)
So, once the sun has shone in, it CAN be locked up for the night. The problem remaining is what to do in a cloud-ridden area that receives no sun at all for a week at a time. Somehow you must capture the heat when you can get it . . . to use when and where you need it. And these three requirements are the key to true solar house design.
A modern solar heating plant consists of three parts: a collector of solar energy, a storage capacity, and a distribution system . . . big windows alone can't do the job.
Solar plants have proved most efficient in areas below 45 degrees latitude (e.g. south of New York-Nebraska) but the incidence of clear, sunny days is the real criterion. Local cloudiness makes nonsense of any hard and fast rule; so even if you're in the north, don't give up on the idea of solar heat yet. Cutting the use of traditional fuels by 75% in, say, northern New York state is not an unreasonable goal.
Energy from the sun is usually measured in terms of 'horizontal incidence' — that is, the amount of energy falling on a horizontal surface. For 40 degrees latitude, the yearly average is 500 BTU per square foot per day. You can improve on this by tilting the collector (s) of your system up from the horizontal toward the south (and the sun). An angle equal to the latitude (i.e. 40 for 40) decreases summer insulation by 18% but increases the mid-winter intake by a whopping 130% . . . an annual overall improvement of 25%.
Some further juggling is possible. Increasing the angle by 23 degrees over the latitude (63 at 40) favors the winter solstice; a lesser amount of tilt favors the center of the cold season, which comes about one month after the solstice.
A good workable average seems to be latitude plus 15 degrees (55 degrees angle for latitude 40).
A vertical collector (like a billboard) might seem easier to build but it gives away 10-15% to tilted collectors during December, January and February . . . and even more during the rest of the year.
So, a tilted collector it must be, and ideally, tilted at the angle of latitude plus 15 degrees.
In the past, however, such ideals have been compromised. To understand the part compromise has played in collector design, look at Whillier's comments on the design of the 1953 MIT house. The home was planned for 1100-1200 square feet and it's design cost was $12,000-$18,000 EXCLUSIVE of heating system. Hardly a bargain, even in 1953. And — for appearance — the architect was allowed the range of 45 to 75 degrees collect — or angle. I suppose we should be thankful that, at least, the collector was to face south . . . some solar houses in suburbs have been aligned to the streets rather than the sun! No wonder there are now only about twenty solar-heated homes (in spite of a "reliable" forecast of 13 million units in the United States by 1975!)
One useful thing (to you) to come out of the MIT study was the general shape of a solar house. Four designs were considered, one is shown here (See the Image Gallery). The fourth included a curved wall, rejected on a cost basis.
The final package arrived at was TYPE A. Type A is a two-story house with the collector oriented to the south. The east-west dimension of Type A is about 20% greater than the north-south dimension. These figures are close to the optimum of minimum cost and heating load for the floor area and the shape is well worth considering for the homesteader. Here the collector serves as a major portion of the roof (which saves material) and allows room beneath it for south-facing windows.
A house of this pattern is theoretically impractical for total solar heat in a climate as harsh as upper New England and a 600 square foot collector would require auxiliary heat (of about 20% of total). A collector of twice the area would still require some additional heat. On the other hand, the MIT house used the south-facing windows . . . and on sunny days in winter the extra heat trapped required excessive ventilation. So you'll have to work out a balance. The lower efficiency of a home-brewed unit should preclude the danger of having much excess heat to throw away, anyhow.
Our second design principle: Use the M.I.T. Package Shape A, as Small as Practical.
What about the design of the collector itself? The least expensive approach is to absorb the sun's energy with a black surface. Expensive focusing collectors (as used for solar cooking) are not needed in house heating because the collector surface is large and the desired temperature change — compared to cooking — is not great. One of the simplest designs (and owner built) was that used by Harry E. Thomason in Washington, D.C. His two houses were pictured and described in the February 1965 Popular Mechanics.
Thomason converted an existing roof into a collector by first laying down insulation, then blackened sheets of corrugated aluminum and finally . . . 840 square feet of glass! (Possibly Thomason would today cut costs by substituting black plastic sheeting — the composter's friend — for the sheets of aluminum in the sandwich — The Editors.)
To transfer the heat down into storage — water tanks surrounded by bins filled with 50 tons of fist-sized rocks — Thomason in stalled a perforated pipe along the apex of the collector/roof. A light downward flow of water from the pipe and across the metal was sufficient to move the heat.
Another oft-quoted design is The Dover House by Dr. Maria Telkes (architect, Eleanor Raymond). The sun-trap sandwich chosen in this case was blackened metal sheeting overlaid by double plates of glass. Circulating air behind the metal carried the heat off to storage and distribution (See Figure 1 in the Image Gallery).
In these two designs we can see many of the contrasts possible (and practical) in solar heat design. Let's look at them in more detail (see Dover vs. Thomason comparison chart in the Image Gallery).
Each of these plans has some advantages. The Telkes plant had no running costs, except electricity for the fan. Neither system produces smoke, soot, or fumes. There is no stoking, refueling, cleaning or repair, and no wasting of valuable fossil fuel. A further advantage is that air (used in the heat transfer) can't freeze; several water-based systems have had to add anti-freeze substances.
On the other hand, Thomason's water-storage system could undoubtedly be cheaper (especially if you have labor at hand to dig, and you're into gathering stone like Scott Nearing did). A small commune or large family could probably gather 50 tons of rocks eventually — and it'd sure make plowing a lot easier.
A possible compromise to consider would be the use of a by of both these methods . . . a smaller amount of Glauber's salt than the Dover house, within a larger bin of crushed rock. You should get some of the advantages of both and, undoubtedly some of the disadvantages. It's better than burning all that oil, though.
If you're going to use heated air to warm the house, you might as well use air all the way because — if you use water — you'll need expensive pumps. Although both the Thomason and Dover houses use electricity to drive fans, etc., it might be possible to arrange a "no moving parts" system of heat "chimneys" to move the air . . . just as the Model T. Ford cooling system moved water. The idea has been used for cooling desert houses; perhaps it can also be used to move heating air (Yes. Wendell Thomas has successfully applied the idea to two homes in the mountains of North Carolina. We'll describe his system soon in MOTHER — The Editors.) In any case, if you must use a fan, the electricity doesn't have to be bought from a high-pollution generating plant. Wind-powered and methane gas-powered generators can be set up on the homestead. Ken Kern shows solar-tempered houses in which wind-powered generators provide the fan power.
Alright. Let's see what your solar-heated homestead house might look like: As small as practical, it should probably be based on the M.I.T. "Type A" design with a roof collector oriented to the south at the angle of latitude plus 15 degrees. The structure would have large south-facing windows with interior shutters; no windows or doors on the west (to shield against the coldest winds); entrance on the eastern (most sheltered) end; and relatively small, well-sealed windows on the north.
You might also try a reflector at the base of the collector. It would, of course, increase the collector's efficiency and — on the "A" design — shield the large windows during summer heat.
Materials and construction techniques — of both the house and the solar-heating system — are free choice . . . but, whatever you choose, never forget to insulate the structure well. Once you've caught the sun, you can't afford to throw it away!

At the Blue Chip Basketball "Super Sunday" showcase last weekend at Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor, the top five teams from the Girls Inter-Ac League were on display in four consecutive contests.
The only Inter-Ac squad to emerge victorious was Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, which defeated Penn Charter, 47-40, in a contest that Charter led, 34-33, at the start of the fourth quarter. Both the SCH Lions (8-13 overall) and the Quakers (11-12) were 4-5 in league play as a result.
Later on, Germantown Academy (16-7, 8-0 league) led by eight points in the final minute of its game against Bishop McNamara, from suburban Washington. The Patriots were forced into overtime, though, and lost to the Mustangs, 62-55.
The showcase schedule began with Episcopal Academy falling to Archbishop Ryan, 48-45, and in between the SCH and GA games the fifth Inter-Ac entry, Notre Dame, succumbed to a second-half rally by Villa Maria of Erie, Pa., which won 56-41.
Despite SCH's 3-5 Inter-Ac record coming into Sunday's event, the Lions had taken a number of games down the wire against quality league opponents. Still, they had not been able to finish with a victory against any Inter-Ac rivals except the last two teams in the standings, Agnes Irwin and Baldwin.
At the Blue Chip showcase, SCH was up by two points both at the end of the first quarter (12-10) and the end of the first half (22-20). Senior forward Elana Roadcloud and junior guard Gianna Pownall had led the Lions' offense in an overtime loss at GA two days earlier, and at halftime on Sunday they were credited with nine and six points, respectively.
However, PC center Dianna Thomas-Palmer was winning the battle in the contact zone under the basket, and topped all scorers with 10 points. The Quakers senior, who will play for Hofstra University along with SCH guard Sydni Epps, moved Charter ahead in the third quarter, along with classmate Daniello Sienko.
Pownall put SCH up 26-20, but PC began to rally with a three-pointer and a lay-up by Sienko. Thomas-Palmer produced two lay-ups and shot four-for five at the foul line, helping her squad go ahead 34-30 with half-a-minute left in the third stanza. SCH sent notice that it was not going to meekly fold its tents, as Epps closed the period with a three-pointer that made it a one-point affair.
Over the next three minutes, the teams traded field goals to raise the count to 38-37, still in Charter's favor. Sophomore guard Julia Schumacher sank a midrange jumper for the Lions, then a pass from senior Alexis Giovinazzo set up a successful baseline drive for Roadcloud. When Roadcloud canned a jumper from just below the foul line, Springside Chestnut Hill was up 43-38 with under two minutes remaining.
With just over one minute left, the Quakers got within three thanks to a drive by Thomas Palmer. The Lions missed their next shot, but the possession arrow pointed their way when the ball was tied up on the rebound. Only 48 seconds were left, and Charter had to foul repeatedly to bring its team total from two up to seven.
On the seventh infraction PC avoided fouling the steady Pownall, but sending Schumacher to the line didn't help the Quakers, as she gave SCH both points from the one-and-one, making it 45-40 with 27.7 on the board. Following a time-out with 19 seconds to go, Charter missed a three-point shot and Epps recovered the rebound. She secured the Lions' last two points from the foul line with seven seconds to go.
In the bleachers, the Lions' athletic director, Tina O'Malley, had one more reason to celebrate on her birthday. Roadcloud scored 17 points and Pownall had 14 in the victory, with Epps adding 10. Four for Schumacher and two for Boggs rounded out the final tally.
Thomas-Palmer posted a game-high 22 points, but from there Charter's scoring dropped off to Sienko's seven and five points apiece from senior Marykate O'Brien and eighth-grader Hannah Fox. PC junior Katie O'Malley chipped in with a free throw.
Notre Dame played next, then GA squared off against Bishop McNamara, a traditionally powerful program that is not having one of its best seasons, arriving in Radnor with a 12-8 record.
Powered by nine points from senior guard Jaryn Garner and seven from junior forward Kiernan McCloskey, the Patriots enjoyed a 25-19 halftime advantage, and they were still up six at the three-quarter mark, 37-31.
Germantown's rebounding suffered after McCloskey fouled out with 2:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. Still, the Pats were ahead 45-40 as the final minute approached, and McNamara had committed eight team fouls. GA might have put this one away at the free throw line, but collected only five of a possible 12 points there.
One made foul shot by Garner and two by junior Dempsey Cooper had the Philly franchise ahead 48-40 with 51.9 seconds showing, but the D.C. denizens quickly countered with a three-pointer from Carrie Alexander. The Mustangs kept battling back until a rebound conversion by Chanise Lee brought them even (50-50) with three seconds left in regulation. The Patriots' first two possessions in overtime ended with a turnover and an offensive foul, while McNamara started out making three of four free throws, going ahead for good.
Germantown was only down 55-53 with under 90 seconds remaining, but then the Pats had to start fouling to try and get the ball from the Mustangs. McNamara steadily built its lead by sinking six of eight free throws. GA's final points came on a jump shot by Cooper with 16 seconds to go, and the Mustangs notched one more foul shot after that.
Garner gave GA 21 points and the Patriots got 12 from McCloskey, nine from Cooper, and six from junior Natalie Toner, who tabbed a pair of three-pointers. McCloskey's sophomore sister, Megan, scored four points and turned in one of her best big-game performances to date. Junior Fran Sweeney furnished the other three points for the Pats.
Alexander rolled up a game-high 24 points for the victors, and Jasmine Boyd, with nine, led a list of five other Mustang scorers with five or more points. A 5'9" senior guard, Alexander has committed to Drexel University. Two of her future Drexel teammates played a little later on Super Sunday; Meghan Creighton and Rachel Pearson helped event host Archbishop Carroll chalk up a 64-47 win over a solid squad from central New Jersey, St. John Vianney.

I haven't read Miller's book either, but you've given me a reason to
read it. I believe that the future state of nture is not predictable
by humans, and maybe there is such a thing as random processes
entering into its operation. But for an alternative consider the
opening lines of Psalm 19 (y'all know this, but the passage is so
beautiful I _must_ repeat it)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [a]
4 Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
If, as I've said before (following St. Basil) nature is a mechanism
made by God to carry out his commands, and God is continually issuing
commands, as Psalm 19 suggests, then the countless responses to
commands may simply be too complex for humans to disentangle.
Complexity is not necessarily randomness, but it can be just as
impossible to predict.
BTW there's an interesting article on P9 of the March '09 Scientific
American about a physicist who claims to have developed a Godel-like
proof that any entity within the universe cannot reach a complete
understanding of the universe. My intuition tells me that, but it's
nice to have a rigorous proof. In any case God is not bound by space
and time, so things that look like mysteries, or random to us, don't
to him.

Mission Athletecare's New Cool Sports Product Tackles Problem Of Overheating
By Barry Janoff
April 26, 2012: Mission Athletecare, the company whose products are conceived and created in partnership with such current and former pro athletes as Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Serena Williams, Mia Hamm and Billy Jean King, is about to unleash its latest innovation on the world of sports.
The EnduraCool Instant Cooling Towel is being described as a towel made from a proprietary fabric that "delivers fast, long-lasting cooling effects to enhance performance and combat overheating for all athletes at all levels of play."
The EnduraCool towel absorbs water and, when activated by snapping or stretching it, cools the towel down to 59 degrees. Worn around the neck, head or shoulders, the cooling effect "lasts for hours" and also provides protection from the sun via an ultraviolet protection factor, according to the company.
Mission Atlhletecare said this product made it from R&D to market via the combined efforts of Dwight Howard, Sergio Garcia, Georges St-Pierre and Williams. All of the athletes involved with the company are described and partners in addition to marketing spokespersons.
The company plans to get the word out via social media, POP and activation including in-store demonstrations by athletes. St-Pierre is scheduled to appear at a Sports Authority location in New York tonight (April 26) to demonstrate EnduraCool and sign autographs.
Marketing will feature the four athletes with the text, "Field-tested and used by . . ." followed by each athlete's name.
In a supporting video for EnduraCool, Howard dunks the towel in water that he says is 91 degrees. After stretching the towel, it cools down to 56 degrees in a few minutes. "This is one of the best things ever invented," offers Howard. "If you are working out and it's really hot outside, football practice in the sun — you know how those coaches can be sometimes. The EnduraCool towel will cool you off."
According to Serena Williams, "The first time the lab team demonstrated the technology, I was blown away. The opportunity for this technology in tennis is huge. When we have a break in between matches, we need to cool down fast."
Several of Mission Athletecare products are officially endorsed by the NBA, including Court Grip and Power Grip. Mission Athletecare said that following the success of those products, EnduraCool has "has all the right ingredients [to be] our next game-changer in the market."
"We did extensive research among athletes, trainers and coaches in our development process," said Mark French, head of corporate development and innovation for New York-based Mission Athletecare. "[They told us that] with the exception of concussions, overheating has quickly become one of the most pervasion sports injuries facing athletes. EnduraCool uses a proprietary technology to give athletes and intelligent way to cool down, cotter during and after competition."
Mission Atheltecare's roster also includes Steve Nash, Amanda Beard, David Wright, Gretchen Bleiler, Ryan Sheckler and Sarah Haskins.

Whether you need a custom-made garment for a special occasion or alterations to clothing that's already in your closet, a sewing and design professional can help you look and feel your best! Our members are dressmakers, tailors, seamstresses, alteration specialists, designers, teachers, sewing instructors, patternmakers, fabric and materials suppliers, and many other sewing and design specialists. We offer personalized service, custom fit, unique design, and quality workmanship. Members provide service in accordance with the association's Code of Ethics, and strive to produce workmanship according to the ASDP Standards of Quality.
Read on for more information about choosing and working with a sewing and design professional. Then you can search by Location or search by Specialty for an expert in your area.
Choosing a Sewing and Design Professional
When you contact an Association of Sewing and Design Professionals member, he or she will ask you about your project, time line, and budget. Your sewing pro will probably ask to see you in person to talk about your project before quoting a price. Some sewing pros charge a consultation fee, which may later be applied toward the cost of your project.
At your first meeting, be sure to ask questions! Association members welcome your questions about the type of work they do, their education and training, and how long they've been in business. Ask to see photos or samples of their work, and ask for references. Many members also have websites where you can learn more about them and view photos of their work.
For custom garments, you'll want to bring your design ideas with you to the initial consultation. Photos, sketches, sample garments and fabric swatches are all helpful. Your sewing pro may also invite you to email links to websites with designs you like so he or she can take a look at them before you meet in person.
Design details, fabrics, trims, pattern development, fitting issues, and anticipated sewing time all affect the price of a custom garment. Your sewing pro will explain the options available to you and then quote pricing according to the choices you've made. Custom garments are usually more expensive than ready-to-wear, but there are no additional alterations charges to factor in. Your custom garment will be the style, color and fit that flatters you best.
For alterations, you'll need to bring or wear the undergarments and shoes you plan to wear with the garment being altered. Garments should be dry-cleaned or laundered prior to the fitting, so any shrinkage will have taken place before the alterations are done. Pricing will depend on the work needed to improve the fit and the way the garment was originally constructed. Specialty alterations on garments such as wedding gowns will likely require more than one fitting.
Working With a Sewing and Design Professional
Once you and your sewing pro agree on the work to be done, the price, and the time frame, it's time to do some paperwork. You may be asked to sign a written work agreement that describes the project, pricing, completion date, payment, and other details. Be sure to read the work agreement and ask questions if there's something you don't understand - it's there to make sure everyone's expectations are clear. A deposit may be required at this time, to book your project into the production schedule. Payment in full is required before your finished garment can go home with you.
The price of alterations may surprise you. Pricing depends mostly on the amount of time it takes to perform the alteration, not on the original cost of the garment. For example, it takes just as much time to shorten a $99 dress from a discount store as it does to shorten a similarly styled $4,000 dress from a fancy boutique. Many apparently simple alterations are more complex than you would think, because of the way the garment was constructed. If you have questions about the pricing for altering your garment, your sewing pro will be happy to explain the steps involved.
For both custom garments and alterations to ready-to-wear, it's important to choose appropriate undergarments and then wear them when measurements are taken and for each fitting. This includes bras, body shapers, hosiery, and shoes of the heel height and platform you will wear with the garment. If you aren't sure what type of undergarments would work best with your garment, ask your sewing pro for advice.
If you must cancel a fitting, try to give your sewing pro at least a full day's notice. If you're running late, please give your sewing pro a call. You may need to reschedule, as other clients may be booked immediately after your appointment time.
Realize that if you change your mind about design elements, or have a change in body size or undergarments after your garment is in progress, there may be additional charges due to extra work required. This is true of both custom garments and alterations.
Be honest and specific about your opinions during fittings. Raise questions about the design, fit, quality of work, or any other items as soon as something concerns you. Be open with your sewing professional.

Cosmic quarries: a new frontier for mineral exploration
Unlocking the moon for mineral exploration is closer to science fact than science fiction.
As local and international researchers gather in Sydney for Australia's first off-Earth mining conference this week, it wasn't just the usual logistical and economic challenges that were discussed. The progress being made was also outlined as evidence that things are changing.
Senior project engineer Gordon Roesler, from the University of New South Wales' Australian centre for space engineering research, said advances in robotics meant investors, entrepreneurs and research institutions were taking off-Earth mining much more seriously.
"Just look what has been achieved in the last 20 years," he said. "In the last year alone there has been two companies formed, one in the US and one in the UK, which are backed by millionaires whose goals are to go and mine asteroids."
NASA's Curiosity mission, which landed a 899-kilogram rover on Mars last August, and Japan's sampling of an asteroid 300 million kilometres away using robotics in 2010 are other standout examples.
A geologist, Mars Society Australia president Jonathan Clarke said Mars and the moon were the next frontier, with water likely the first target.
"For both the moon and Mars, we are going to be looking an mining water because water can be used as a propellant for space craft, oxygen for breathing and water for washing," he said. "That can totally transform the financial viability of even a small scientific station."
Dr Roesler agreed, describing the ability to turn water into a propellant as effectively turning Mars or the moon into a space petrol station. "So rather than have to launch all our propellants from the Earth which is very expensive, we can stop off at the petrol station," he said. "This makes the whole scenario more appealing."
Mineral mapping by NASA has shown that the moon is geologically diverse, with a range of minerals present including those which are considered "rare Earth minerals". Among them are yttrium, lanthanum and samarium. These are increasingly critical in the making of high-tech products for civilian and military use: be it tablets, missiles or wind turbines.
"These are minerals that we use for all sorts of things but particularly plasma screens and advanced ceramics used in engines, electronics and machinery," Dr Clarke said.
Titanium occurs in some lunar rocks at 100-times the rate as rocks on Earth. The mineral is efficient at retaining solar wind particles such as helium and hydrogen, each vital gasses in the construction of lunar colonies and for exploration.
While there may be concerns that the planets could become cosmic quarries, off-Earth mining could have benefits for our own warming planet.
"This is an avenue that prevents further damage to the Earth," Dr Roesler said. "There is no life on the moon, it's a very harsh environment . . . so there is no ecology to be threatened."
However, the mineral exploration of Mars and the moon, considered international territory with treaties to match, will raise questions as to who has the rights to mine and to use the resources. Australian commercial satellite lawyer Donna Lawler said there is still global debate on the legality of off-Earth mining, with no international agreement on a legal framework.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA 3D Electrical Design
Unique design of large scale electrical systems within the virtual product
The complexity of large-scale electrical systems requires a process-specific solution in order to design faster and ensure quality. In addition, the use of physical prototypes creates certain drawbacks such as high costs, inflexible modifications, and the late recognition of design errors.
CATIA 3D Electrical Design delivers a process-specific solution for designing physical wire harnesses. This solution is driven by logical specifications and is integrated with harness manufacturing. By delivering a realistic simulation for 3D wire harness packaging in an integrated environment, this powerful solution reduces design time and increases the overall quality of large-scale electrical systems. It also enriches the design through realistic deformation of flexible harnesses by taking into account environmental conditions like gravity as well as the physical non-linear behavior of the harness and its protections.
- Facilitate collaborative PLM for complete product definition
- Enable collaboration between electrical and mechanical designers
- Simplify electrical reference product and part reuse
- Integrate design changes faster
- Design concurrently
- Decrease design and manufacturing costs
- Reduce the need for costly physical prototypes
- Enable seamless process integration between Electrical CAD and CATIA physical design
- Manufacture wire harnesses more efficiently
- Reuse design more frequently
- Define a wire harness product easily with harness geometry routed in several product structures
Create an extended range of electrical 3D componentsYou can create electrical 3D components such as mounting equipments, equipments, shells, connectors, back shell, etc., as well as wires, cables, harness supports and protections (tape, tube, etc.). You can also add electrical and mechanical behavior by defining connection points for electrical device reference to facilitate electrical design (connector connection point, cavity, cavity connection point, back shell connection point, bundle connection point, etc.).
Support catalog usageCATIA 3D Electrical Design takes advantage of the V6 platform to efficiently store electrical objects within the database. Objects are classified within catalogs where the user can navigate freely or by query and the user can visualize content directly from the 3D Live portal.
Design geometrical harnesses in contextCATIA 3D Electrical Design allows you to create round, rectangular or oval bundle segments routed to electrical devices, supports, or any mechanical part. Several routing modes are available to manage slack, imposed length or bend radius and Finite Element Modeling technology provides a realistic harness shape and behavior (taking protection covering, routed wires, and splices into account). Connectivity between bundles, segments, and electrical devices or support is ensured and can easily be checked and analyzed.
Define wire harnessesWith CATIA 3D Electrical Design you can import from ECAD systems (through CAA API's or XML data format) or create directly in 3D the wires/cable list within the harness. Fast and automated wire routing is based on the shortest path and separation criteria or on company rules thanks to the knowledge integration. Once routed, all information, including wire length, is available for manufacturing report or for export to ECAD.

A new study published in Science May 11 is shedding light on the molecular details of PARP-1, a DNA damage-detecting enzyme that when inhibited has been shown to be effective in fighting cancer and other diseases.
The investigation led by John M. Pascal, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson's Kimmel Cancer Center, revealed new target sites—including specialized "zinc finger" domains—for drugs aiming to stop PARP-1 activity.
The idea for this area of research is to identify more specific PARP-1 inhibitors that achieve a targeted inhibition, with less potential for side effects. Drugs inhibiting PARP-1 have also been proven effective in treating inflammation and cardiac disease.
"PARP-1 has been identified as a valuable target, but what's special about it? What really are its weak points in the way it gets activated?" said Dr. Pascal. "We wanted to define a structural and mechanistic framework to better understand how to specifically inhibit PARP-1."
The weak points were found to be multi-domain interfaces that are uniquely found in PARP-1. What researchers now know is that multiple domains of PARP-1 come together and bind to DNA damage, and this "communication" between domains is essential for DNA damage-dependent PARP-1 activity.
PARP-1 is a protein that detects and responds to breaks in the structure of DNA, a potentially lethal form of damage to our genetic information. If PARP-1 activity is impaired, DNA strand breaks are not repaired and instead are converted into more dangerous types of DNA damage. In normal tissue, a repair mechanism called homologous recombination picks up the slack and fixes the damaged DNA. However, in cancers that carry the BRCA mutation, like certain breast and ovarian cancers, homologous recombination is inactivated. Therefore, the cancerous cells have become dependent on the role PARP-1 plays in DNA repair.
In a more general scenario, inhibiting PARP-1 has been successful when combined with DNA-damaging drugs because it heightens the apoptotic activity of these drugs. In other words, it helps halt tumor growth.
Today, many PARP-1 inhibitors being tested in preclinical and clinical studies target the catalytic active site. But this approach is limiting because the catalytic site is similar to those found in other PARP-like proteins that carry out other essential cellular functions, thus increasing the potential for off target side effects.
"What was exciting in our structure of PARP-1 is that there are specialized sites on the protein that can be inhibited; you can effectively kill catalytic activity without having to touch the catalytic active site," said Dr. Pascal.
Using X-ray crystallography, researchers studied the interaction amongst the component domains of PARP-1 and their combined role in binding to DNA damage. The PARP-1/DNA structure revealed a network of interdomain contacts formed upon DNA binding. These domains have to come together and assemble, the researchers found, to have catalytic activity.
"Our work indicates that we should be looking for inhibitors that prevent these domains from coming together," Dr. Pascal said. "Rather than screen for inhibitors with catalytic activity as a readout, we can screen for inhibitors that disrupt the communication between the PARP-1 domains, which would in turn shut down catalytic activity."
Closer attention to these specialized domains could inspire the design of a new class of PARP inhibitors.
"Dr. Pascal's structural and biochemical characterization reveals how recognition of DNA damage and communication between domains control the activity of PARP‑1," said Barbara Gerratana, Ph.D., who oversees enzyme catalysis grants at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which partially supported the study. "This work is a major breakthrough in understanding an enzyme essential for regulation of cell proliferation and a promising target for cancer therapeutics."
Other researchers include Marie-France Langelier, Ph.D., Jamie L. Planck, and Swati Roy of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Jefferson.

Early Church Heresies
As promised, I mentioned in my first article on Church History: Dark Ages a future closer look at some early church heresies. A heresy is an opinion or doctrine contrary to church dogma.
This splinter group, present as early as the second century, denied Jesus' humanity. They believed that all material things, including the human body, were evil and as such if Jesus was from God he could not be fully human. The Gnostics did believe Jesus was divine, however they held that salvation comes through a special mystical knowledge not given to all, but only the elite - the Gnostics. They also adapted some Christian writings, including the Gospel and added to them, which ultimately led to the church adopting a common Cannon of Scripture.
The challenges this group brought to the mainstream church resulted in the writing of a statement of faith, the Apostles Creed, by the year 200 which helped clarify Christian beliefs. Those seeking baptism had to understand and accepted this creed.
Around the time of Constantine another heresy arose which ended up dividing the church for centuries. First advocated by an Alexandrian priest named Arius, Arians denied Jesus' divinity. They believed there was only one distinct person in God. Jesus could not be God because he was created by God. Arians held that Christ was in between God and man.
Constantine called the bishops together to discuss this problem that was more prevalent in the East. The Council of Nicaea met in 325, and after much discussion Arianism was condemned as wrong. Arius refused to conform and was declared a heretic. The Nicene Creed (the profession of faith we recite at Mass today) was born at this council meeting to more clearly define Jesus as being both God and human. Belief in this creed has been a defining point in Christianity now for more than sixteen hundred years. Many excommunicated Arians converted numerous Barbarian tribes, which resulted in this heresy raging well into the seventh century.
This group, popular in the 300's, believed that there were two Gods. One god created good, the other created evil and therefore no one was held accountable for his/her sins. St. Augustine became a Manichaean before converting to Christianity.
Also existing in the 300's was this group, which believed that the validity of sacraments depended on the moral character of the priest or bishop who administered them. Arising after a bishop was appointed who had denied the faith during persecutions, this sect selected it's own Bishop, Donatus. They held that those who denied the faith during the persecutions could not be forgiven for such a grave sin. Gradually through St. Augustine's influence this movement died out.
A British monk, Pelagius, propagated another group attacked by St. Augustine. Pelagians professed that a person could get to heaven without God's help - without the help we call grace. They believed one could be saved by one's own free will, by working hard enough.
This is just a look at a few of several schism groups that divided the early church and led to defining a uniform set of beliefs based on the message passed down from the Apostles.
Peace in Christ,

Motherhood: Day 1
Photo credit: Monkey Business Images/Monkey Business / 360/Getty Images
You're exhausted... but you don't know it yet
Whether you spent hours in labor or endured a C-section to deliver your baby, your body has been through a lot in the hours leading up to the time when you first hold your newborn in your arms. But you won't even notice, because holding your baby is maybe the most amazing thing ever. Plus, you may still have have meds in your system. Trust us, the lack of sleep will catch up with you — so try to get some sleep before you go home or make arrangements for help so you can get your shut-eye.
Doctors and nurses will come in at all hours
You and Baby will do a lot of "resting" in the hours after you've delivered, but a lot of that recovery time will be interrupted by doctors and nurses coming in and out to check both your vitals and Baby's, have you sign paperwork and perhaps even watch an 'instructional' video. Baby will also likely be given a hearing test and other screenings. When I was in the hospital with my babies, they also had to test Baby to ensure he could sit in the infant car seat for a certain amount of time before they would release us.
You might not be ready for visitors
Your family, friends, co-workers and more are going to want to visit you in the hospital and be among the first to congratulate you and take a turn at canoodling with your little bundle. But you if you're too tired or simply not comfortable with guests visiting while you're stuck in a hospital gown, be truthful. Ask visitors to be patient for a day or two until you get settled at home with Baby.
Baby doesn't have to go to the nursery
The doctors and nurses may suggest that Baby go into the nursery while you and the new dad get some much-needed rest after delivery. If you don't feel comfortable with this or are simply not ready to let Baby out of your sight, feel free to decline.
You'll have to prove you're ready to go home
With a C-section delivery, as I had with both my children due to circumstances out of my control (yes, I still feel I have to justify this), I had to be able to get up and walk to the in-room bathroom, go potty by myself and return to my hospital bed before the doctors would approve my release.

Its two chambers are the Illinois Senate, which has 59 members, and the Illinois House of Representatives, which has 118 members. The Democratic Party has held a majority in the House since 1997 and the Senate since 2003. Chicago Democrat Michael Madigan has been the House speaker for all but two years since 1983. Chicago Democrat John Cullerton has been Senate president since 2009. Each senator and representative is elected by voters in a local district, with each Senate district divided into two representative districts. Elections are held in even-numbered years. Representatives are up for election every two years, while Senate terms are staggered, with senators serving two four-year terms and one two-year term over the course of each decade. The General Assembly enacts, amends and repeals laws. Bills approved by both chambers go to the governor, who may sign a bill into law, veto it with recommendations for changes, veto it absolutely or allow it to become law without signing it. The General Assembly may override the governor's veto by a three-fifths majority.

Miley Cyrus's house was "swatted" for a second time Friday as police were called to her Los Angeles pad and found there was no real emergency when they arrived.
Sources say 911 received a call from a female at around 8:55 p.m. on Friday claiming she was calling from her closet and reporting shots were being fired in her home, TMZ reported.
When officials arrived to Cyrus's house they realized the singer was not there, that nothing was happening and that the call had been a hoax.
The "Party in the U.S.A." singer was victim of her first "swatting" prank last August after 911 received a call reporting there had been a "home invasion" at her house.

Voices of Strength: A Mini-festival of Contemporary Dance & Theater by Women from Africa
Kettly Noël (Haiti/Mali) and Nelisiwe Xaba (South Africa)
They met through a friend in Johannesburg. A year later, they decided to create a piece together. They met again briefly in Port Elisabeth (South Africa) and got to know each other better. Another meeting in Bamako, then in Bern. After that started a series of correspondences...
Correspondances is a lively and sophisticated duet that is part theater, part dance and part storytelling. Noël and Xaba come together for a raucous conversation on diverse subjects - ranging from the superficial to the profound - that address the intimate fabric of friendship while exploring themes of race, culture and gender.
Kettly Noël
Originally from Port au Prince, Haiti, choreographer and dancer Kettly Noël has created a body of dance work over the past 15 years, seen widely in Africa and Europe, that deals with identity, and the fight for position of African artists and women, and includes Ti'chelbé, Errance, L'Autre, Zones Humides Imaginaires and Bonjour Madame Noël. She began dancing at the age of 17 with the Haitian-American Dance Theatre (now World Dance Theatre), and relocated to Paris in the early 1990's, where she trained as a dancer and actress and founded her first company. In 1996, she moved to Benin, where she continued to develop her choreographic technique while starting a program to train youth in contemporary dance. Ms. Noël relocated to Mali in 1999, and founded Donko Seko, an organization with a space for dance workshops and choreographic research (with the first dance floor in Bamako); established the Bamako Dance Festival (the first international festival of contemporary dance in Mali); and expanded her dance training program for youth and adults. In 2010, Donko Seko hosted the biennial Danse L'Afrique danse festival.
Nelisiwe Xaba
Nelisiwe Xaba was born and raised in Soweto (South Africa), and received a scholarship to study at the Johannesburg Dance Foundation. After studying dance in London (with a 1996 Ballet Rambert Scholarship), she returned home to join Pact Dance Company, where she was a company member for several years, and with whom she toured to Europe and the Mideast. She worked with a variety of choreographers, visual and theater artists, particularly Robyn Orlin, with whom she created works such as Keep the Home Fires Burning, Down Scaling down, Life after the credits roll, and Daddy I've seen this piece six times before and I still don't know why they're hurting each other, which toured for several years in Europe and Asia, winning the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance. In 2001, Ms. Xaba began to focus on her own choreographic voice, creating solo and group dance works that have been performed in Africa and Europe, including Dazed and confused, No Strings Attached 1, No Strings Attached 2, Be My Wife (BMW)(commissioned by the Soweto Dance Project), Black!.. White and Plasticization. Her most recent work, Uncles and Angels, is an interactive dance/video collaboration with Mocke J van Veuren. Ms. Xaba has also collaborated as choreographer and dancer with fashion designers, opera productions, music videos, television productions, and multimedia performance projects.

Goddamnit. I was trying to work out the downside to this scheme
And then, as usual, it turned out to be %^&*ing DRM.
I think I'll stick to ripping my discs at home then. If you're going to charge me for the privilege, I expect full control, not a licence. Especially not a licence that some greedy gimboid can rescind in future for no real reason other than "we'd quite like you to pay us again for that film, please". (Same major fail underpinning the "digital copies" provided with DVDs - the only film I own that came with one was Predators, and the small print advises me that my licence for that film will expire 2 years after I validate it...)

A giant rave that became caught up in a conflict-of-interest scandal even as it faced criticism that it bred drug abuse will not return this summer to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, officials said Thursday.
Insomniac Inc., producer of the Electric Daisy Carnival, said in a statement that the Coliseum show has been "postponed" and that the two-day rave would make its debut in Las Vegas on June 24, the same date of its scheduled fifth annual engagement here.
The statement by Pasquale Rotella, the head of Insomniac, gave no hint of how long the postponement would be. But he said he "would love nothing more than to have our events return to the Coliseum."
Some Coliseum Commission members said Electric Daisy would probably not be coming back for the foreseeable future.
Insomniac had lost support on the commission after The Times reported earlier this month that a Coliseum administrator who helped plan security and emergency medical services for last year's rave doubled as a paid consultant to the company. The 2010 Electric Daisy was marred by scores of drug-related arrests and trips to emergency rooms. A 15-year-old girl died from an Ecstasy overdose.
"They probably made a good business decision for them," Commission President David Israel said of Insomniac's move. "The writing on the wall was as clear as graffiti."
Israel withdrew his support for Electric Daisy after The Times disclosed that the Coliseum's events manager, Todd DeStefano, worked on the side for Insomniac. His dual employment had been approved by then-Commission General Manager Patrick Lynch, who resigned under fire last week.
DeStefano's ties to Insomniac are under investigation by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office and the state Fair Political Practices Commission. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Commissioner Rick Caruso, a leading critic of raves, said "good riddance" upon hearing of the move. He said the company had probably figured that the nine-member commission would not approve another contract for Electric Daisy.
"The only thing that these rave events are good for is making money," Caruso said. "But I put the safety of our kids above making money."
Insomniac has been staging raves at the Coliseum and the neighboring Sports Arena since the late 1990s. Raves have been a significant revenue source for the commission, a joint authority of the state and the city and county of Los Angeles.
Israel estimated that last year's Electric Daisy, which drew an announced crowd of 185,000 over the two days, generated about $800,000 for the commission. He said the financial loss could be eased by an extra game USC's football team, the Coliseum's main tenant, will play at the stadium this year.
It was unclear whether Thursday's development would affect the other company that hosts raves at the Sports Arena, Go Ventures. The firm puts on the Love Festival in August and the Halloween-themed Monster Massive. Go Ventures has partnered with Insomniac to produce the New Year's Eve rave, Together as One, at the arena.
Rotella and Go Ventures representatives did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Tips for Planning a Successful Catalog Design:
Tips for Successful Catalog Design
Catalog design has been called "The Art of Creating Desire". In today's competitive marketplace, where price and function of products are often equal, form prevails.
Successful catalog designers today have learned to create desire for products by appealing to people's emotions. For example, picture driving your dream car through the Canadian Rockies, or down the Hawaiian coast. Good catalog design puts your product in a light that people believe will improve their lives or make them feel good. Be it a well-designed coffee pot or a luxury car, the way your product is presented will make all the difference in being the product of choice for consumers.
Know the Components of a Successful Catalog
Don't sacrifice space for appeal: cramming products onto pages to save printing costs does not pay off in sales in most industries: showing products in use or in a flattering light is more likely to make a sale. For example: would you be more moved to buy a fly rod on a page with 20 fly rods, or a photo of a fly rod in the hands of a fisherman on a crystal clear stream?
The Importance of Relationships
Even though you're communicating to your market via a catalog, you still need to earn their trust. Be sure to give them the information they need to make the decision to buy your product or service. How much you reveal depends upon your market. For example: serious athletes buying a mountain bike want every detail of technical information regarding how it handles. A shopper buying a toaster may be happy knowing what colors it comes in.
What is Your Market Appeal?
More than anything, your catalog must RELATE to your buyers. It must be attractive enough to appeal to them, but not so far out as to alienate them. Your choice in paper, color and design will all contribute to reaching your market. Think about these consumers and what appeals to them specifically when buying your product. What works for Coors does not necessarily work for Heineken, even though they are both selling beers.

From the Hollywood Reporter article:
Sutherland would play the pivotal role of Charlie's mentor and father to Charlie's love interest, Stella ( Charlize Theron).
Was the guy in the original the mentor to Caine's character? If so, looks like it.
Some tidbit from the Boston Hearld:
NU puts its Mark in film
In other prop news, Northeastern University is dogged in its attempts for national exposure. Why should Harvard get all the good Hollywood gigs, right?
The Huskies have already had their college gear featured on ``Spin City'' and ``Everyone Loves Raymond'' this past season. And now there's some barking about placement on the silver screen!
Word is, Paramount Pictures' prop peeps rang up the Huntington Avenue school the other day seeking some Huskies garb and other collegiate tchotchkes for the remake of the old heist caper, ``The Italian Job.'' The flick stars Dorchester's own Mark Wahlberg, who didn't study at NU. But at least he knows where it is!

Lianne, Thank you! now I understood that Donald Sutherland would play a mentor of Charlie.
And Thank you for the info too, from the Boston Hearld.
I don't understand the meaning of "Huskies" in this text.

I sincerely doubt Mark's doing a British accent considering a majority of the cast are Americans. The movie takes place in Italy and LA, so I suspect the characters will be Americans than try to make everyone else learn to do an accent. Not every actor is very good at accents, it takes alot of coaching. As discussed remakes are usually better if they don't try to be exact copies of the original. So most likely the famous lines uttered by Caine won't be happening (unless it pops up as an inside joke that fits in the movie - like the character acting British to fool people)
And its not a Guy Ritchie film. F. Gary Grey is the director. It was Jason who worked previously on Ritchie's film. Read more carefully.

It is hard trying to remake a classic film though this one is being completely updated and should be good, can you imagine trying to do a remake of Gone with the Wind, you just couldn't do it justice.

Alex DeJohn Playing Professionally In Finland
By ODU Athletics
Former ODU Soccer standout Alex DeJohn (Marlboro, NJ.)is playing professionally in Finland for EIF. His team is in Division II Finnish league called Kakkonen South.
"We are currently in first place by seven points with a 9-4-1 record," said DeJohn." I am playing centerback, starting every match thus far. It's been a great experience as I am learning a lot. I would say the pace in college soccer is a little bit faster and more physical, here it's more technical."
The season ends in around the middle of October when the playoffs begin. Only one team from each of the four Leagues in division II make it with two getting promoted to Division One.
DeJohn earned second team All-CAA defensive honors in 2012. He also scored a goal in ODU's nationally televised match on Fox Soccer against George Mason.
Other notes: Two of his Monarch teammates, Yannick Smith and Jordan LeBlanc are also in the same Division, but in another league. Another teammate from last year, Chris Harmon is playing in Spain.
Goalkeeper Evan Newton ('11) is with the MLS San Jose Earthquakes, while Two-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year David Horst ('07) is with the Portland Timbers. Horst, who has played in 39 matches with 34 starts has been sidelined with a leg injury after playing four matches earlier this season.
Eight-year MLS veteran Carlos Mendes ('01) along with Nane Joseph ('10) are now playing for the New York Cosmos of the (NASL) North American Soccer League. Mendes played seven years with the MLS New York Red Bulls and last season with the Columbus Crew. Joseph played for Colorado and Toronto FC.
The teams in the NASL include: Atlanta Silverbacks, Carolina RailHawks located in Cary, NC., FC Edmonton, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Minnesota United, located in Blaine, MN., New York Cosmos,located in Hempstead, NY., San Antonio Scorpions and the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

GETHOSTNAME(3) BSD Programmer's Manual GETHOSTNAME(3)
gethostname, sethostname - get/set name of current host
#include <unistd.h> int gethostname(char *name, size_t namelen); int sethostname(const char *name, size_t namelen);
The gethostname() function returns the standard host name for the current processor, as previously set by sethostname(). The parameter namelen specifies the size of the name array. If insufficient space is provided, the returned name is truncated. The returned name is always NUL terminat- ed. sethostname() sets the name of the host machine to be name, which has length namelen. This call is restricted to the superuser and is normally used only when the system is bootstrapped.
If the call succeeds a value of 0 is returned. If the call fails, a value of -1 is returned and an error code is placed in the global variable errno.
The following errors may be returned by these calls: [EFAULT] The name parameter gave an invalid address. [EPERM] The caller tried to set the hostname and was not the su- peruser.
hostname(1), getdomainname(3), gethostid(3), sysctl(3), sysctl(8), yp(8)
The gethostname() function call conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4.2 ("XPG4.2").
The gethostname() function call appeared in 4.2BSD.
Host names are limited to MAXHOSTNAMELEN (from <sys/param.h>) characters, currently 256. This includes the terminating NUL character. If the buffer passed to gethostname() is smaller than MAXHOSTNAMELEN, other operating systems may not guarantee termination with NUL. MirOS BSD #10-current June 4, 1993 1

About three months ago, I was looking for work; about two months ago, I accepted a position; then, about a month ago, one of the companies I applied to sent me "homework" as part of their interview process. I'm supposed to write a Python REST interface for a basic database. Since I'm not seriously considering the company for employment, I decided to accept the assignment on my terms: I decided to do the assignment in Common Lisp.
Since the homework uses all four REST verbs (GET, PUT, DELETE, and POST), I discovered that I had to use "s-http-server" to implement the server, and to use "s-http-client" to communicate with the server. It took a while for me to get used to it (and I have yet to figure out how to serve static pages)...and I have run into another hurdle that I haven't been able to figure out: how do I transfer content--particularly forms--between these two servers?
I tried setting "content" to the JSON object I was attempting to send to the server...but I couldn't figure out how to read that content from the server's side. While I could add the object to the URL, that doesn't seem like the best solution for passing JSON objects; besides, doing so just seems...wrong...somehow. Besides being something I ought to be able to do via forms, somehow, I sense that the solution shouldn't clutter up the URL with such things.
Thus, I wonder: what do I need to do, to pass a JSON object through the client, and then to extract it, once it gets to the server?
Perhaps I need to extend one or both of "s-http-server" and "s-http-client" to do this...if so, where should I begin?
Any help on this would be *greatly* appreciated!
(For the record, although I suppose I'd be "better off" doing this in Python, I'm glad I chose Common Lisp: I got to learn the magic of Quicklisp; while the libraries may leave a bit to be desired, I am nonetheless getting more familiar with what's available for Common Lisp, and how well they work; and I'm learning more about RESTful architectures than I otherwise would have learned, I think!)

A 31-year-old Canoga Park man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of burglary after allegedly trying to break into a car while drunk -- twice.
The victim watched the man, identified by police as Emanuel Avila, allegedly attempt to break into her car just after 7 p.m. while she was at work, prompting her to call the police, said Burbank Police Lt. Eddie Ruiz.
By the time officers arrived on scene at 600 South Victory Boulevard, Avila was gone, according to police.
A short time later, the woman called police again to report the same man had returned to her car.
Again, Avila had reportedly left the scene before officers arrived, but he was spotted and arrested nearby.
He was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail before his court appearance this week.
