People have different opinions about the poinsettia. Some consider it a holiday plant to be enjoyed during the month of December, then discarded with the Christmas tree. Others like to nurture their plants, coaxing them into bloom season after season.
There's no guarantee that your poinsettia will bloom again next December, even with year-round care. But if you would like to try, here are a few tips.
Plant camellias to add pop to the cold season
As the weather gets cold and dreary, we tend to put away the gardening boots in favor of an easy chair and a good book (or plant catalog). But wait, there's still something beautiful going on in the garden. Or there should be: camellias.>> read "Southern Jewels" #Flowers #Pink #Shrubs
How to bring nature indoors by pressing botanicals
Pressing botanicals is just one more way for plant lovers to get their fix while feeding the artist within. Just pick a basketful of your favorite flowers, herbs, leaves, seedpods, or whatnot to place between papers in a press and forget about it until the process is finished.>> read "Press On" #Crafts #Decorating #Flowers
My first garden experiences with tropical sages were a bit drab. Six-packs of mealycup sage (Salvia farinacea) from the grocery store bloomed through the summer with flowers the color of new Levis. The next year, to be fancy, I grew the seed strain 'Strata'. Its flowers were closer to the color of dirty overalls. Then, of course, there was red Texas sage (Salvia coccinea) and its variety 'Lady in Red' — far more elegant in name than in physical reality — plus its bizarre faded pink variant 'Coral Nymph'.
Yes, they were reliable. They needed little attention, they tolerated heat and drought, and stayed colorful throughout the summer. But they didn't do anything that a plastic cactus wouldn't.
Peonies are one of the best perennial choices for a Midwest garden. The reason is simple: Peonies are hardy and extremely reliable. Once established these beauties are durable and low maintenance. Another admirable aspect of peonies is that, unlike some other perennials, the do not ramble. They come back reliably year after year with little care and produce huge flowers — even enough blooms for cut-flower bouquets.>> read "Peony Power" #Flowers #Pink
Move over pansy, cyclamen and snapdragon. Anemone (A. coronaria) is the new darling of the cool-season bloomers. After showing up in garden centers around mid-December last year, this scintillating Mediterranean native was snapped up faster than a gardener can say "ranunculus.">> read "Keep Your Friends Close, but Your Anemones Closer" #Colorful #Flowers #Plant Profile
The lily is the queen of the garden, hands down. The intoxicating fragrance of a 'Casa Blanca' lily on a warm summer's eve drifts across the garden enticing you to linger. The fragrant 'Star Gazer' is one of the most popular lilies in flower arrangements. The tiger lily is a friendly reminder that not all lilies are proper cultivated ladies – this is the wild child in the group. The ubiquitous Easter lily graces many homes in the spring and other lilies stand in the garden towering over everything else there. The term "gilding the lily" means trying to make something more beautiful than a lily, which I believe is impossible.>> read "Love Those Lilies" #Bulbs #Flowers #Perennials
Creating a 100 percent pure perennial bed can be quite a daunting task.

Hate saying goodbye every year to your beautiful flowers? Dry those blossoms and you can keep them for years to come. I've always been intrigued with flower drying; in fact I used strawflowers (Xerochrysum bracteatum), statice (Limonium spp.) and baby's breath (Gypsophila spp.) in my bridal bouquet so I could keep them along with my memories of that eventful day. I even had strawflowers placed on the wedding cake instead of flowers made of icing. I still have those flowers, though they are fading a bit. And they still make me chuckle when I think how my mom bartered manure for them from a neighbor.>> read "Hold On to Summer" #Crafts #Flowers #How to
During the past few years, the Slow Flower movement has been generating a lot of buzz in the media.

Roses are more than prickly garden plants with exquisite flowers. They are much more than roots and leaves, stems and petals. They are the ultimate symbol of beauty, displaying perfection and romance.

Virtually all clematis books are British. I think it's some kind of law. According to those books, you may pronounce it "klem-a-tiss," "kli-mah-tiss," "klem-at-iss" or "klem-ay-tiss." The plants are fabulous, and will respond no matter how you address them. Most Americans only spiral one up their mailbox post, but the Brits have been exploring the potential of almost 300 species and even more varieties and cultivars, using them far more imaginatively in their gardens for eons.>> read "Clematis 101" #Flowers #Plant Profile #Vines

Over the past week, thousands of Egyptians opposed to President Hosni Mubarak have led the way on demonstrations in Cairo, orchestrating huge crowds in a bid to get the U.S.-backed leader to step down after 30 years in power.
That situation changed on Wednesday, when protesters faced push-back from those claiming to support the beleaguered president. The two sides rained stones, bottles, firebombs and even satellite dishes (ripped off nearby buildings) on each other.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.

- Weapons deal strengthened Assad: US intel chief
- Outcry over the fate of Sochi's stray dogs
- Olympic construction leaves Sochi residents in the cold
- Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
Egypt's health minister said at least three people were killed and more thay 600 wounded in the violence. The timing of the violent clashes comes a day after Mubarak announced on state television Tuesday that he would try to return the country to normal and would not leave office until the end of his term in September.
Egypt "faces a choice between chaos and stability," said Mubarak, who indicated he would dispatch police to apprehend those responsible for arson and other illegal actions in the past week. "My first responsibility now is to restore the security and stability of the nation to achieve a peaceful transition."Video: Witness: Gangs roam Cairo with 'iron bars, knives' (on this page)
As the clashes between anti- and pro-Mubarak protesters spiraled into bloody violence on Wednesday, questions arose about just who was instigating the mayhem and whether the Mubarak government was going so far as to order and pay people to protest on its behalf.
Frederik Pleitgen of CNN reported on Wednesday that some men he had spoken to said that they were state oil company workers who had been ordered to join regime supporters on the streets.
The pro-Mubarak protesters at first said they had no intention of initiating a confrontation, according to a report Wednesday in the Guardian. Some of them told the British newspaper that they had been brought in by bus in from the countryside and some had swapped sides in recent days, saying Mubarak had given enough concessions and he should have time to usher through political change.
The New York Times reported that several people reported being offered the equivalent of less than $10 by ruling party operatives to demonstrate in the square for Mubarak.
The opposition movement, which includes the Muslim Brotherhood and ElBaradei, former head of the UN atomic agency, accuses Mubarak of running a corrupt and repressive government.
In Cairo, pro-regime protesters carried banners including "We love you, Mubarak." Some of them tried to storm the building of Al-Shorouk, where scores of journalists and workers remain trapped in the building, Bloomberg editor Wael Gamal said by telephone.
Why does Egypt matter?
Egypt, the most populous Arab country, with 80 million people, has been a key ally of the United States in the Middle East. Since the uprising began, however, the U.S. has indicated that it is time for change in Egypt.
Security: Egypt signed peace treaty with Israel in 1979 — the first between an Arab government with the Israelis. The relationship has been key to political stability in the region. Egyptian support was important to the U.S. in the two Gulf wars. Without smuggling across Egyptian border, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip would be in even more dire economic straits. Egypt has played mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and in disputes between Arab nations.
Economy: Egypt governs the Suez Canal, a key shipping route between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. With its wealth of antiquities, it is a major destination for tourists.
Politics: Revolution against the British began in 1952 and a republic was declared in 1953, led by Gamal Abdel Nasser. Anwar Sadat succeeded Nasser and was assassinated in 1981; Hosni Mubarak then took power.
"There is a risk of a low-level civil war," said Moustafa El-Husseini, author of "Egypt on the Brink of the Unknown," said by telephone from Cairo.
The army would probably intervene to prevent such a conflict, said Barak Seener, a research fellow at the London-based Royal United Services Institute of Defence and Security Studies.
"There is the potential for this to get out of hand but I think the military would step in before there was a civil war," said Seener. "I wouldn't go so far as to say Mubarak engineered these clashes but they feed into his narrative that he is needed for stability."
The White House on Wednesday spoke against the violence.
"If any of the violence is instigated by the government it should stop immediately," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, while declining to speculate whether the government was in fact behind the violence. Protesters contend plainclothes police are among the pro-government attackers.
"The president found the images outrageous and deplorable," the press secretary said.Story: Mubarak warns of chaos if he quits now
Meanwhile, CNN was reporting that several of its journalists heard from pro-Mubarak demonstrators that they worked for the government.
"These (pro-Mubarak) protests were organized by the government and the ruling National Democratic Party," analyst Kamal Zakher told CNN. The government mustered government workers and lawmakers whose seats are threatened, he said.
"They were ordered to go out today. They are well organized and that is suspicious -- especially the use of camels and horses. These are abnormal techniques to demonstrate," he said, referring to the shocking charge of about 50 or 60 mounted men through Tahrir in the middle of the afternoon.
The Associated Press and Bloomberg News contributed to this report.

Egypt Islamists want equal rights for women - but only as far as Islamic law allows
CAIRO Islamists are seeking to enshrine in Egypt's long-awaited new constitution a number of articles that secularists and liberals fear would bring theocratic rule and severely set back civil liberties, including provisions that could empower clerics to review laws and would stipulate that women's rights cannot violate Shariah law or "family duties."
Liberals and secularists have been struggling to keep out the provisions, but are finding themselves outnumbered and vulnerable to being overruled on the 100-member assembly that is writing the charter meant to set the path for post-revolution Egypt.
The assembly, where Islamists hold a majority, has been debating the constitution over nearly 50 sessions during the past months. But the wrangling has heated up as the body gets closer to voting on a final draft, which would then be put to a yes-or-no referendum by the public, expected by the end of the year. Liberals, however, say they have few tools to block Islamists' demands other than walking out of the assembly a step they have wavered on taking for fear or losing their voice entirely.
- President Morsi: Egypt and U.S. "not enemies"
- Morsi: Protecting U.S. Embassy "Egypt's duty"
- Obama: "Season of progress" continues in Arab world
Around 100 women protested against the Islamists' provisions Tuesday outside the upper house of parliament, where the assembly has been holding its sessions. They chanted against a "religious state" and shouted, "Down with the rule of the Brotherhood."
Magda Adly, one rights activist at the gathering, warned of "a constitution that only sees women as tasked to make babies," saying the Islamists' provisions would open the door to dramatically lowering the marriage age for women and ending restrictions on female genital mutilation.
"It's a disaster what's about to happen to the Egyptian constitiution," Rasha Abdullah, another woman protesting the Islamic law clause on Tuesday night, told CBS News. She called the assembly crafting the constitution "a committee with a majority of Islamists with mentalities that go back 200 years... they don't represent any of the women or the men assembled here today."
Battles also spilled into the courtroom Tuesday as a Cairo court convened to examine nearly 40 suits calling for the assembly to be disbanded. Lawyers from the two sides pushed and shoved each other in shouting matches that forced the judges to postpone the hearing for a week. If the court eventually orders the assembly disbanded, Islamist President Mohammed Morsi would form the new one, and liberals' have little faith it would be any more favorable to them.
The constitution has been long awaited as a key step in establishing a democracy in Egypt after last year's ouster of autocratic ruler Hosni Mubarak. The uprising that forced Mubarak out was led by progressive, secular activists who rallied public anger over worsening poverty, the monopoly on power by Mubarak's ruling party, rampant corruption and widespread abuses by security and intelligence agencies.
But in the nearly 20 months since, Islamists have emerged as the strongest political power. Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, is a veteran figure from the Muslim Brotherhood, which dominated parliamentary elections last year. Also powerful are the ultraconservative Salafists, who call for an even stricter implementation of Islamic shariah law than the Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood and the main Salafist political party hold at least 52 seats on the constitutional assembly, which was formed by parliament before a court dissolved the legislature. Their majority is further strengthened by Islamists unaligned with parties. The assembly includes eight women, several of them Brotherhood members, and eight Christians.
So far, no articles have been finalized, with negotiations still going on within the assembly. The assembly chief says he now expects a final draft to be ready in November, though the timetable has been pushed back repeatedly in past months. The Brotherhood in particular seems to be hoping to reach enough of a consensus within the assembly that it can tout the document as having broad backing.
But with liberal, leftist and secular movements weakened and with little pressure from the public, the Islamists appear confident they can get much of what they seek in a final draft and win approval in a referendum.
"There is a strong sentiment in the street for implementing shariah," said Sheik Khaled al-Azhari, a Salafist who sits in the assembly. "Add to that, there is a big difference between talking to people from an air-conditioned office like liberals and between living their lives and knowing their pains."
Al-Azhari, who is also a TV star on a religious channel, said Islamists had one main rule guiding their hand in the constitution: "You can't criminalize what is permitted by shariah law."
Some parts of the new charter that appear to have consensus so far would set a more democratic system for Egypt, reducing the overwhelming powers that the president has long held and increasing the authorities of parliament.
But a number of articles put forward by Islamists have raised liberals' concerns.
One proposal would establish a powerful political role for Egypt's premier Islamic institution, Al-Azhar, saying the opinion of its top clerics would be "the final or main reference for the state in whatever is related to Shariah law." Some fear that would establish an Iranian-style system where clerics oversee laws passed by parliament. Al-Azhar is generally seen as a moderate body, but conservatives and Salafis have been gaining influence in its ranks.
"Islamists will continue to rule the country through this institution (Al-Azhar) even if they lose elections," the National Front For Justice and Democracy, an independent group monitoring the assembly's deliberations, said in a recent report.
There has been a sharp debate over revising the second article of the previous constitution which says the "principles of Shariah" are the main source of legislation. Many Islamists see that language as too vague and want it changed to "the rulings of Shariah," which they see as providing for a more strict adherence to their interpretation of Islamic law.
In other Islamist-backed articles, women would enjoy equal rights as men as long as they do not "violate Shariah" or "family duties." Islamists also blocked attempts to introduce a clause guaranteeing Egypt's adherence to international treaties it has already joined on ending discrimination against women. They worried that such a clause could be used to ban female genital mutilation or prevent lowering of the marriage age, which they saw are allowed under Shariah. Some Salafi sheiks have called for allowing girls to be married with the onset of puberty.
Another proposed clause would stipulate that Christians and Jews have the right to abide by their "own religious laws" and choose "their religious leadership," a provision that Islamists say protects minorities. Critics say it contradicts the principles of equal citizenship and enshrines a second-class status.
Another article would recognize the right of Christians and Jews to conduct their rituals and build places of worship, but on the condition they do not "violate public order." That could allow lawmakers to maintain restrictions on the building of churches, since church construction has often prompted sectarian strife in the past.
Other clauses are heavy with vague references to preserving the "morals" and "traditions" of Egyptian society, which critics fear could be used to restrict freedoms of speech and political activity.
"This is a disaster," said leftist politician Hussein Abdel-Razek. "The proposed articles reflect the core of political Islam currents like the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis. They are autocratic and repressive at heart."
Nehad Aboul-Qomsan, head of the Egyptian Center for Women rights, raised a warning over the rights women won over the years, saying, "We are losing them now."
Manal el-Tibi, a female activist who was in the assembly, resigned last week in protest over the articles concerning women.
"It has become clear that the constitution is being prepared to emphasis the religious state for a certain group to monopolize power," she wrote in her resignation letter.
El-Tibi is a member of Egypt's Nubian ethnic minority and clashed repeatedly with the assembly over her attempts to include protections against racial discrimination. Other members opposed, insisting Egypt does not have multiple races, and a Muslim Brotherhood member Omar Abdel-Hadi accused el-Tibi of having separatist aspirations and seeking foreign intervention in Egypt, a typical accusation leveled by Islamists and pan-Arabists against their rivals.
The assembly has been plagued with troubles from the start. A first version of the assembly was dominated even more heavily by Islamists, prompting a mass walkout by liberals. That assembly was dissolved by a court that ruled parliament had not followed proper standards in forming it. The parliament then formed the new panel.
"A single political faction has monopolized the constitution writing, while the rest of Egypt was excluded from the process," the National Front for Justice and Democracy said.

Northside girls� basketball coach Chad Novelli and senior Kayla Hill each had a good reason to take a big sigh of relief Monday night.
Northside girls� basketball coach Chad Novelli and senior Kayla Hill each had a good reason to take a big sigh of relief Monday night.
For Novelli, he knew his second-seeded Monarchs survived following a 49-43 win over No. 15 Edenton Holmes in the opening round of the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs.
For Hill, she knew her two free throws with 30 seconds left were big in that they gave the Monarchs a four-point lead.
�I was so relieved when I made them. I�m glad I practiced free throws the day before,� Hill said. �They were very nerve-racking because I knew if I missed, they could come back.�
But the Aces (13-10) didn�t, allowing the Monarchs (23-4) and Novelli to emerge victorious and catch their breath.
�Well, regardless of how we got there, we got ourselves another game to play,� Novelli said. �It wasn�t quite what we�ve seen the last couple of games out of them. We are going to go back to the drawing board and fix our mistakes and learn from our mistakes.
�Those girls (from Holmes) came out to play. And as frustrating as it was, going in there � ultimately when it is a one-and-done tournament, I guess (a win) is all that matters.�
And thanks to the Monarchs� win, they now get a second-round home game with East Central 2-A Conference rival South Lenoir on Wednesday. The No. 10 Blue Devils, who split the regular-season series with Northside, beat No. 7 East Bladen 52-43 on Monday.
�We came out not the team we normally are,� Hill said. �They are not a bad team. It was tough.�
The Monarchs led 19-11 midway through the second quarter, but never could pull away from the Aces, who were led by Hadiya Bembry�s 22 points.
Holmes used a 7-0 third-quarter run to tie it 29-29 before Northside outscored the Aces 3-1 in the final 90 seconds of the period to take a 32-30 lead going in the fourth quarter.
After the Monarchs used a 6-1 run to create separation, later a 3-pointer by Lizzie Perez with 2:55 left in the game gave the Monarchs a 45-39 lead. However, Holmes got to within 45-43 with 1:11 left on a layup by Shakia Beasley.
Yet the Monarchs ran the clock out to 30 seconds before Hill was fouled and made two free throws to give her team a 47-43 lead. Ashanti Curry then made two free throws with 13 seconds left to make it 49-43.
Curry ended with 17 points and 7 rebounds while Erin Bowerman added 10 points and 18 rebounds and Hill added 10 points. Perez finished with 8 points and 9 boards.
�They made big plays at the right time,� Novelli said.
Actually, the Monarchs made big free throws. Northside was 12 of 12 from the line in the final eight minutes.
�Typically we are not a bad free throw shooting team, but to go 12 for 12 was obviously the difference,� Novelli said. �We weren�t playing as good of defense we normally do and offensively we were pretty stagnant.�
Holmes 6 14 10 13 � 43
Northside 12 11 9 17 � 49

Candy Cane Heart Suckers
I know lots of people have made these, but I just made them for my Bible class and thought I'd share for the one person who hasn't seen it yet!
I used miniature candy canes. I've seen people use higher temperatures, but I wanted to retain more control over the results, so I used 250 degrees. You can bake them on parchment paper, but having none, I sprayed with Pam and it worked fine. At 3 minutes I started checking every 1 minute and using a dinner knife to gently adjust the shapes. For some weird reason, the tips started to pull apart as they softened, so nudging them with the knife was good. When I was happy with how they looked and they were sufficiently softened that they would be joined when they cooled, I pressed sucker sticks into them and let them cool a little on the cookie sheet. Then I gently loosened them with a spatula and removed them for cooling. Hope you enjoyed it!I wrapped each in regular plastic wrap.
They disappeared immediately at the fellowship dinner! Now I've seen someone else's idea where they filled the centers with melted white chocolate and sprinkled valentine sprinkles on them. That's sooooo much cuter. Wish I'd thought of that. Oh well, next time!
Happy Valentines Day! And now to what matters - Our minds turn to thoughts of love and romance and maybe that "special" gift from our certain someone. Our dreams are so glorious! Most of us spend most of our Valentine's Days really let down because life just doesn't always work out the way we wish it would. As long as our dreams of love and romance depend on another person's participation, we can pretty well figure we are going to be let down most of the time, because - we are all just human.
Have you ever considered that you might be looking for love and romance in the wrong place? How about if there were a completely risk free way to have our dreams of loving another and being loved in return come true - forever?! No need to fear rejection or that we will be let down or taken advantage of.
There is one who declared His love for you before He even created the world you are living in. He actually fashioned this entire world just to give to you, that you might have all you need. He didn't buy you a bouquet of flowers that soon die, He filled the world with countless varieties of them in a never ending supply for you! He didn't write you a sonnet that lasts for a few minutes, He filled nature with the music of birds songs and flowing waters - for you! He didn't buy you a dinner and a box of candy, but filled the world with good things to eat - for you! He didn't paint a painting for you, He has painted the skies every morning and every night since your birth, to give you pleasure! He didn't give you a puppy with a bow on it's neck, He created countless creatures to be your companions and bring you love and joy!
It's a done deal. He cannot disappoint you or let you down, because it's all completed already. He filled this created world with nothing but magnificent declarations of His undying love for YOU! He wants nothing more than an intimate love relationship with you, right here in this life and even more in the next!
He is holy and those who are to be with Him must be holy too. He knew mankind would sin and fall from grace, spiritually separating us from our loving Creator who had done all this, made all this, only so He could love us and we would love Him in return. He knew we would need a way back to Him. He designed a way for us to be restored to grace so we could again be His children and fellowship with Him eternally.
He designed this plan in such a way to fully demonstrate His love for us for all time. He would give us laws to teach us good from evil so we would have the chance to choose between them. He taught us about Himself through the prophets and patriarchs of old, and later by His apostles, so that we would understand that He is holy and righteous and pure. This served to teach us how evil sin is and how we are to strive to be holy and righteous like our Heavenly Father to fellowship with Him and have happy lives.
To demonstrate to us how evil sin is, He gave the law that without the shedding of blood, the source of life, there is no forgiveness of sin. He had them sacrifice animals to repent of their sins and have them rolled ahead for one more year, but not forgiven, because the blood of animals isn't holy.
Then at the right time, He gave His only begotten Son to be born of a virgin. Jesus willingly left heaven and the Creator took on the form of the created. Fully God and fully man. He lived among us to teach us and show us God and the way back to Him, and lovingly tell us the penalty awaiting us if we don't. He was in all ways tempted as we are so that He could be the perfect High Priest for us, compassionate because He too has experienced it all like us. He lived His life without sin, and willingly gave His own life on the cross to be the perfect blood sacrifice for mankind's sins, once forever.
I've heard people speak of what a horrible god our God must be to require the brutal and bloody death of His own son. Ahhh...but look at it correctly, it is as you have read here, all a plan from before there was time to show us how evil and harmful sin is and HOW MUCH HE LOVES US! Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is the greatest demonstration of love for us that is possible. The greatest gift of love there ever could be. A wooing that began before creation and continues today as He knocks at the door of your heart, an Ardent Lover pleading for you to accept His free gift of love - salvation - and ask Him to come in to your life and your heart and fellowship with Him!
Isn't that just fantastic? This is love that cannot fail you! This is TRUE love! Love that does not change when you grow old, when you fail, when you are sick or injured - love sealed with His own blood for eternity! But you say, I'm lonely here and now. I need a mate to hold and love, one that I can see and feel. I don't mean to propose that you not meet and marry here, that is God's plan for most of us and it is good. I'm just saying that in your often painful search for love, realize that you can have all that here and now with the only one who will fully and permanently love you and never reject you as long as you don't leave Him. When you have taken Jesus as your Savior and are also filled with the Holy Spirit, seeking Him with all your heart, you will find that there can be such intimacy with Him, even the ability to physically sense Him, that He can very truly be with you here, in this life as well as eternally. He is the true Lover of your soul. Happy Valentines Day!
Today's freebie is a valentine in the truest sense of the term that I gave here last year. It's all about God showing His immeasurable love for us through the gift of Jesus on the cross, His blood that bought the new covenant of grace for us in God's Word. The hearts mingling with His blood remind us that it was only love holding Him on that cross. The mourning dove in my back yard represents the precious Holy Spirit He has given to us as our Comforter and Teacher. You get a 12x12 overlay and I thought you might also like the finished jpg with a dove in it. Today's freebie is part two of a two page layout.

As mentioned in our April 25th blog post in honor of World Malaria Day, AAA recognized this important day with a special virtual issue of Medical Anthropology Quarterly. This special edition re-released articles which demonstrate ways that ethnography and human behavior studies help to change care management and public health policy.
Approximately half of the world's population is at risk of malaria, particularly those living in lower-income countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO calculates that every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria. By joining the global movement to roll back these staggering statics on malaria, anthropologists serve as catalyst around the world to research the medical and cultural impacts of this disease and share their findings to help count malaria out.
In the past weeks, each article has been featured here on the AAA blog. Here is the final of seven highlighted articles:
Urbanization, Dengue, and the Health Transition: Anthropological Contributions to International Health
Carl Kendall, Patricia Hudelson, Elli Leontsini, Peter Winch, Linda Lloyd and Fernando Cruz
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, September 1991
A host of resurgent diseases, many in newly created urban environments, challenges the assumptions underlying anthropological contributions to international public health programs. Past programs validated local knowledge about acute and well-known disease conditions and encouraged self-help and participatory approaches to respond to these problems. This article discusses the changing picture of health conditions in urban settings by examining local responses to one problem, dengue hemorrhagic fever, in a new program designed to test several earlier assumptions.

Box Office Mojo publishes several sections reporting box office receipts by time period, including Daily, Weekend, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Seasonal, Yearly and All Time.
KEY TERMINOLOGYBox office tracking refers to theatrical box office earnings. Additional sources of revenue, such as home entertainment sales and rentals, television rights, product placement fees, etc. are not included. All grosses published reflect domestic earnings, i.e., United States and Canada, unless otherwise noted.
Theaters refers to the number of locations where a movie is playing, but it does not reflect the number of screens. One theater location, for example, may play a movie on several screensthis is a necessary distinction since print and Web references routinely and mistakenly refer to theaters as screens.
Box Office Mojo considers a movie in Wide Release or about to go Wide when it is playing at 600 or more theaters, which generally indicates a nationwide release (the term is short for "nationwide"). A movie is considered to be in Limited release when playing at less than 600 theaters, i.e., released in one or more markets but not nationwide.
Production Budget refers to the cost to make the movie and it does not include marketing or other expenditures.
Gross refers to gross earnings in U.S. dollars. On average, the movie's distributor receives a little more than half of the final gross (often referred to as the "rentals") with the remainder going to the exhibitor (i.e., movie theater). The money split varies from movie to movie, but, generally, the contract favors the distributor in early weeks and shifts to the exhibitor later on.
For information on adjusting box office figures for Ticket Price Inflation or for estimated number of tickets sold, see our page: Adjusting for Ticket Price Inflation.
The Daily, Weekend and Weekly box office sections display actual box office receipts during the specified time period.
The Monthly, Quarterly, Seasonal and Yearly sections, movies may be viewed either by their release date or by their Calendar Gross. Viewing by release date shows total box office earnings grouped by their release date, regardless of when the money was made. Calendar Grosses show box office earnings for a given time period, regardless of when the movies were released in theaters.
Calendar Grosses are based on daily box office receipts or, when daily data is not available, estimates are used and are based on weekend and weekly data and historical box office trends. In cases where a final reported gross is different from its last reported gross for a given movie, the difference is assigned to the two weeks after the last reported gross date. In most cases, this reflects receipts that have trickled in after a movie has stopped being tracked for reportage. Since box office has been more closely tracked in recent years, the calendar gross data is generally considered more comprehensive after 2001, while pre-2001 estimates are considered approximate. Accuracy of calendar grosses improves over a wider range of time viewed.
DAILY BOX OFFICEDaily box office charts show gross receipts for a single day and are generally reported for the previous day by noon Pacific Time. Some movies are not officially tracked on a daily basis, so Box Office Mojo makes estimates for those titles to fill out the top twelve. These estimates are marked as such on the chart. If daily reporting stops for a given movie it does not necessarily mean the movie is no longer playing in theaters, and the movie may continue to be tracked on a Weekend and Weekly basis.
Readers can view the daily box office index for the past 14 days as well as a calendar view to easily jump to a given day. Historical charts are available from 2002 to the present, and an alphabetical index by title is available for all movies with daily box office grosses reported (including numerous pre-2002 movies). Readers also have full access to our daily index, including breakdowns by month, season, quarter, year and can filter out specific days of the week (i.e., view all Saturdays of 2004, or weekend days only, etc...).
The actual daily chart shows a breakdown of daily grosses of Friday through Sunday or Monday through Thursday (depending on which day of the week you are viewing). Readers also have two additional chart views available to them: a Full Week view, which shows an entire week of daily data, or a Single Day view, which shows a single day's box office in a traditional chart format.
WEEKEND BOX OFFICEWeekend box office charts show gross receipts for a given weekend, which is Friday through Sunday unless otherwise noted. Studio estimates for the weekend are reported on Sunday mornings, generally between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Pacific Time and reflect estimated Friday and Saturday box office receipts plus a projection for Sunday. As with daily box office, weekend estimates do not reflect all movies playing in theaters, but at least the Top 12 plus select movies below that may be reported.
Actual weekend box office receipts are reported Monday, generally after 1 p.m. Pacific Time, and reflect most movies currently playing in the marketplace. A final update to the chart may be made Monday night or later in the week to reflect grosses that are reported late.
Readers can view historical weekend box office from 1982 to the Present and have access to the weekend index, broken down by year. Readers also have access to an index by week number, showing a given week's box office history from 1982-Present. WEEKLY BOX OFFICEWeekly box office charts show gross receipts for a given week, which is defined as Friday through Thursday. This information is reported on Friday afternoons for the previous week's box office, though additional titles are added to a given week's chart at later dates to account for grosses reported late.
Readers have full access to historical weekly data back to 1982 as well as an index, similar to the weekend box office index.
MONTHLY, QUARTERLY and SEASONAL BOX OFFICEThese sections allow readers to view box office receipts for the above time periods by Release Date and by Calendar Grosses. Monthly box office is a breakdown by month, of January through December; Quarterly box office is a breakdown by quarter (i.e., January through March is Q1, etc...); Seasonal box office is a breakdown by season. There are five box office seasons: Winter (the first day after New Year's week or weekend through the Thursday before the first Friday in March), Spring (the first Friday in March through the Thursday before the first Friday in May), Summer (the first friday in May through Labor Day Weekend), Fall (the day after Labor Day Weekend through the Thursday before the first Friday in November) and Holiday (the first Friday in November through New Year's week or weekend).
Each of these sections contains an index by the specified time period, from 1982 to the Present, as well as a breakdown of time periods for a given year, from 1982 to the Present. Each individual chart shows a list of movies for a specific time period in a specific year. Both the indexes and individual charts can be viewed by Release Date for all movies, Wide Releases only and Limited Releases only, as well as by Calendar Grosses. They can be sorted by any column, adjusted for ticket price inflation and individual charts can be filtered by studio.
YEARLY BOX OFFICEReaders can view the top 50 movies of a given year from 1980 to 2000 and the top 150 movies from 2001 to the Present. Readers can also view all movies tracked for these years as well as breakdowns by Release Date and Calendar Gross and can filter by studio.
Readers can also view the top 10 opening weekends for each given year; readers can view all opening weekends and filter by wide and limited releases only as well as by studio.
Finally, Worldwide box office by year, which shows the movies' combined domestic and foreign grosses, can be viewed from 1989 to the Present. Movies are grouped by the year they were released domestically, regardless of when they were released in foreign markets.
HISTORICAL CHARTSThe data on the Yearly and All Time Domestic charts can be viewed "as of" a given date in history. For example, one can see what 1999's box office was like as of May 19. Or one can see what the All Time Domestic Box Office chart looked like in 1987.

Last year, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama quit wearing his flag lapel pin on a regular basis. He said he thought the pin was a substitute for true patriotism.
This may actually become an issue in this year's presidential campaign — a distraction from the more important matters at hand, but an issue nonetheless.
Never mind that both Republican presidential candidate John McCain and Obama's former Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, don't wear such pins. Some on the far right are whispering that Obama doesn't love his country.

Worldwatch Perspective: Peacekeeping, a Study in Contradictions
At the behest of its member governments, the United Nations keeps taking on new and increasingly complex peacekeeping challenges, including in conflict-ridden places like Darfur, Haiti, Lebanon, and East Timor. The projected budget for these efforts for the July 2007 to June 2008 period is running to $7 billion—the largest cost ever by far, and substantially higher than the record $5.6 billion spent in 2006–07. Yet U.N. peacekeeping operations remain a study in contradictions.
U.N. missions today don't just involve monitoring of ceasefire lines, as in olden times. They also cover such activities as providing assistance in elections, building or rebuilding institutions, reforming judicial systems, training law enforcement forces, disarming and reintegrating former combatants, and in some cases even acting as the transitional authority in the absence of a recognized or functioning government.
Yet peacekeeping suffers from major problems, starting with money. In theory, peacekeeping costs are covered by mandatory assessments, payable by the U.N.'s members according to the size of their economy (and thus their ability to pay). A handful of states accounts for the bulk of all payments: just 15 countries cover 90 percent of the budget. But when members pay late or withhold part of what they owe, peacekeeping finances are thrown into deep crisis.
The United States has repeatedly held peacekeeping hostage in this manner, and in recent years, Japan has also run up large arrears. As of late 2007, more than $3 billion of peacekeeping payments had not been made by national governments. Of this, 34 percent was owed by the United States alone.
Even though peacekeeping budgets have been on a welcome incline in recent years, they are still far too small relative to what the U.N. is asked to accomplish. A comparison with world military spending indicates where most governments are really prepared to put their money. In 2006, the world spent $1,232 billion on its militaries, or 228 times the U.N. peacekeeping budget.
While governments continue to rely on the military as a preferred tool of security policy, the nature of many of the world's intractable conflicts suggests severely misplaced priorities. Research suggests that among the underlying reasons for many tensions today are competition over lucrative resources and the repercussions from environmental degradation. With the rising specter of climate change, more frequent floods and droughts as well as sea-level rise will cause increased human displacement and food insecurity, and may trigger fresh disputes. Climate stability, along with reduced poverty and inequality, should be key goals of a far-sighted security policy.
The United States, deeply mired in its "war on terror," has other priorities. It now spends roughly as much on its military as the rest of the world combined. The war in Iraq has already cost about $632 billion.
Like peacekeeping budgets, the number of peacekeepers has risen to record levels. Currently running operations in 17 countries, the United Nations deployed 84,309 soldiers, military observers, and police in December 2007. Counting international and local civilian staff and volunteers, the total runs to about 106,000. And 11 smaller "political and peace-building" missions (typically follow-up efforts once a peacekeeping mission ends) deployed another 3,787 personnel as of late 2007.
But yet again, these numbers are dwarfed by conventional military priorities. National military (non-peacekeeping) forces deployed outside of the borders of their own countries totaled about 540,000 in 2005. U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other military bases around the globe alone accounted for 73 percent, or some 394,000 troops. With a combined 117,000 soldiers abroad, Turkey, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia represented another 22 percent.
Every time the United Nations dispatches a new mission, it literally has to beg member governments for personnel contributions. Typically, this leads to long delays that may imperil the success of the entire endeavor. Nowadays, most peacekeepers come from poor countries, mostly from South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Often, they lack proper equipment, and different national contingents may be unable to communicate with each other. The United Nations has to rely on the goodwill and cooperation of governments to provide transportation and other logistical support to get the peacekeepers to their deployment locations.
Peacekeeping, an improvisation that emerged shortly after the United Nations came into existence, has now been around for some six decades. Even though it has become a fairly large undertaking, there is still no way to ensure that these soldiers, policemen, and civilians dispatched to far-flung crises are trained to common standards. In some ways, U.N. peacekeeping very much remains an ad-hoc phenomenon.
This is no accident. Powerful governments have little interest in a global body that has truly autonomous capabilities and thus might act in ways detrimental to their own parochial interests. Washington, Moscow, London, Paris, and other capitals are all too happy to hand off responsibility for an intractable crisis to the U.N.'s "Blue Helmets," eager to claim credit when missions succeed, but quick to blame the organization when they struggle or fail.
On one hand, it's encouraging to see U.N. peacekeeping grow into a major factor in the world's conflict zones. But as long as the United Nations has to operate on a shoestring budget and in ad-hoc fashion, peacekeeping is like a game of roulette.
Michael Renner is a senior researcher and director of the Global Security Project at the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research organization based in Washington, DC.

When Decorators Need to Practice Their Roses
When there's a new kid in the bakery, these designs help speed up the on-the-job training:
The "Rose Bush".
(I'm told there's a cake under there...)
I had to stare at this one for several long seconds before I realized the roses are supposed to spell out the number 20. The cool thing is, though, this cake has a built-in clock: see where the light pink roses meet the darker ones on the 2? That's when the first decorator's shift ended.
(Gotta love that candle placement, too.)
And of course, the "Haven't-Learned-to-Write-with-Icing-Yet".
No room for an inscription = no complaints about messy handwriting! Not to mention there's no chance of spelling errors, random quotation marking, or becoming famous on the 'net for all the wrong reasons.
The best part? The people who ordered the first and last cakes didn't even ask for that many roses. So Kim C. & Jill S., thanks for showing us just how specific we need to be when ordering baked goods. Now we know.
(Everybody together now: "And knowing is half the battle!")


text: This version includes the following added features: (i) Inclusion of all elements up to Z=30. The atomic data for the energy level structure of ions with 3 or more electrons for many of these are scaled hydrogenic and so the associated line emission must be treated with caution. (ii) Inclusion of two new input parameters: the radius exponent (radexp) and the number of continuum energy bind (ncn2). These are described in the chapter on input to xstar. (iii) Inclusion of the radiation scattered in resonance lines as a column in the output fits file xout_spect1.fits. This is provided in the same units of specific luminosity as the other columns. (iv) Use of a new algorithm for the multilevel calculation which is considerably faster and requires less storage. Hence smaller values of critf (even 0) can be accomodated for many problems. (v) The input parameter critf now refers to the fractional ion abundance (i.e. relative to the parent element) rather than the absolute (i.e. relative to H) ion abundance. (vi) Minor changes have been made to some of the output formats in the ascii file xout_step.lis. (vii) The atomic data for dielectronic recombination has been changed to incorporate the results from Badnell and coworkers (http://amdpp.phys.strath.ac.uk/tamoc/DATA/RR/) in place of the rates from [Aldrovandi and Pequignot 1973] and [Arnaud and Raymond 1992]. This has quantitative effects on many of the results from xstar. Notable is the effect on the ionization balance of iron for ionization parameters in the range 0 2, where the m-shell ions dominate, and where the new rates are greater than the previous ones by large factors.

|Santa Barbara > Activity Guide > Beaches > Hendry's Beach
Pros: Officially
named Arroyo Burro
Beach, this beach is just a ten minute drive
along the Coast from downtown Santa Barbara.
Hendry's is secluded by towering cliffs and a curving coastline. Surfers and children vie for territory as the waves tumble into shore. Amenities include a restaurant and snack bar, outdoor showers, restrooms, free parking, and a grassy picnic area.
Hendry's is centrally located to a great deal of other fun. Elings Park is a half mile up Las Positas so you will often see hang gliders and paragliders launching from nearby cliffs. Right next door to the beach is the Douglas Family Reserve, which features some of the most pristine cliffside terrain in all of Santa Barbara.
Cons: When the parking's gone - the parking's gone. There are no volleyball courts or random entertainment. This is a beach for sand and surf enthusiasts.
Directions: Take 101 to Los Positas. Turn away from the mountains. When you come to a T-intersection and turn right. Take the second left at the base of a cliff.

Has the insanity of the holiday season hit you yet? Thanksgiving hasn't arrived yet, or at least the American version hasn't, yet I'm already being barraged with nonsense about gifts and gatherings. Not that I'm a Scrooge — well, not too much of one — but really, can't we all focus on what we're cooking this week or, better yet, looking at this weekend? What will you be looking at this weekend and will you be watching birds? Comment below on the excitement you have planned!
I'm long overdue for some Rochester birding so I hope to get out there. Rumor has it that Snowy Owls have been seen around Lake Ontario. Charlie will be flying into Philadelphia so look for him around the mean streets of Philly. As far as Corey goes, you can trust that he'll be loitering around NYC parks, scanning for avian vagrants, as opposed to the human kind.
Whatever you plan to do this weekend, be sure to celebrate Sky Watch Friday…
Keep an eye out for migrating Brants, like this one Corey spotted at Jamaica Bay
I'm going to bird around Little Neck Bay to clear up a mystery.
Last weekend I walked on the bike path in NYC that runs along Little Neck Bay and I saw a huge raft of 1000's of very dark birds (brant? cormorants? scoters?) far out on the bay. I could not id them with the low power optics I had at the time.
This time I'll go when the light is better and with better binoculars. I hope the same type of bird is there and I will be able to identify them.
Simply put: that's one of the most beautiful bird photographs I've ever seen. Wow.
I'm not likely to see any geese of any kind, but I'll be out with Michael on the lower Santa Cruz River, checking out Mountain Plovers and raptors, and maybe finding an oddity. And I get to start planning a trip for Alison and me to the Sea of Cortez over Thanksgiving.
I'll be birding in the Trodos Mountains in Cyprus on field trip with Birdlife Cyprus. I'm curious what I'll see, since I haven't been birding up in the mountains here yet, and there are still a lot of winter resident species that I haven't seen yet.
That has to be the coolest bird shot I have ever seen. Sky is good too.
My wife and I are going down to the Bosque del Apache NWR in NM for the Festival of the Cranes closing weekend. Continuing a family tradition that spans generations. I saw on ebird's rare bird alert widget that an Aplomado falcon and a Sungrebe were reported there this week. Not to diminish the massive flocks of Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese, possibly a Bald Eagle or two, and all the other winter visitors.
Come on you guys, Corey pasted that Brant onto a blue sheet of paper and took that photo right 😉 Amazing capture Corey, really. And Mike, I will be birding about 12 miles south of here in Anderson River Park. As you might think, there are many species to see here as the Sacramento River runs through the park. Riparian habitat and oak woodlands to venture through also. We had a Great-horned Owl nest we watched last spring as they raised their young in the park. Site of the Christmas Bird Count on December 2oth this year.
Great photo! Ill be birding somewhere in SE Kansas this weekend. Happy SWF!
This photo is extraordinary!
This gets me excited because my family is going to Bosque del Apache Wildlife Preserve this weekend to celebrate the Festival of the Cranes.
There will be many bird species, but lots of geese, ducks and cranes, especially.
Happy Sky Watch Friday!
New Mexico, USA
What a GORGEOUS photo. Rick had it right, it is a breathtaking picture, so well done in every way.
We call those Brent geese in the UK, really lovely little geese they are too! Hoping to go and see some in Dorset within the month.
It's too funny – I saw your photo and thought "the only way I'd get that is to cut a picture out and paste it on a blue sheet of paper" and then I read Larry's comment… Must be great minds think alike! Excellent shot – can't even begin to imagine the possibility of this in my photography future. I'll just watch (and love) your bird shots.
There's a recently reported Pacific Loon not far from me. A bird so tempting will be impossible to resist. I just hope it sticks around till Sunday.
This is beautiful!
Hi Mike, I'm also attending the Festival of the Cranes. I've been here since Tuesday night. No sign of the sungrebe since Tuesday; and no sign of any aplomado falcon yet this week. The number of sandhill cranes is way down – only about 5,000. I'm chalking it up to the mild temps here in New Mexico. Same thing happened last year. But, there are plenty of snow geese for everyone to ooh and ahh. Even plenty of buteos are enjoying the large number of these birds. I've seen quite a few harriers and a few red-tailed hawks chasing the geese in flight – a sight to behold. I will have plenty to blog about when I return.
great shot, it's fantastic very well captured!

OK, but the problem comes in deciding what is "simplest" from a
theistic standpoint. Unless we are very careful to stay close to
revelation, the simplicity we ascribe to God will be what we judge
simplest. This has had baneful effects on western trinitarian thought
for centuries because of course the Trinity doesn't seem "simple".
& with God's interaction with the world - it would have been
"simplest" for God to be on Pharoah's side instead of choosing a rag-tag
bunch of Hebrew slaves.

Cajun Kringle Mardi Gras Bead Dog Book Combo
Cajun Kringle Mardi Gras Bead Dog Book Combo
Get more than just a Cajun Kringle this year! Give the gift of the first Bead Dog book.
History of the Mardi Gras Bead Dog Mascot
Up until the 1960's New Orleans Mardi Gras parade krewes threw glass beads. In the mid 1960's plastic beads replaced glass beads as the throw of choice. Often, when beads were thrown from floats they became tangled and broke. Children enjoyed sorting through the tangled beads. Soon, they discovered when the beads were twisted in various directions they could create different animals. The most popular, and the easiest to make, was the bead dog. Various school clubs, including Cub Scouts and Brownie Troops, and children's fundraising groups began making the little bead dogs and selling them for fundraising activities.
In 2008, Haydel's Bakery commissioned local New Orleans artist, Philip Weddle, who created his rendering of the old time bead dog trinket. In the 2008-2009 Mardi Gras season, Haydel's began offering Mardi Gras Bead Dog merchandise including children's & adult apparel, original artwork and a host of other fun accessories.
Today, a full sized Mardi Gras Bead Dog® mascot greets our customers daily upon entering our retail location. In the spirit of this New Orleans tradition, Haydel's Bakery donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Mardi Gras Bead Dog® merchandise to a charitable organization each year. Annually, Haydel's Bakery sells raffle tickets for customers to take a chance to win a full sized sculpture. One hundred percent of the proceeds from this raffle are donated to a local charity.

Going to start a career as a id tech
I wanted to share my success story because maybe it'll inspire people to take that chance.I have been lurking on this forum for a couple months now because I applied to my County Sheriff dept for a civilian position in Feb of this year. I took a written exam in feb and passed then I took a oral exam and passed but I was placed at #13 on the list. I had no hope of ever being hired. Lo and behold in oct of this year I was called and asked if I was still interested and I was interviewed again and I was against probably 4 or 5 other candidates. The interview went smoother than the first. They soon called me and said I had been chosen for a background. I was terrified because I'm not without faults. Nonetheless I was truthful about everything on my background and turned all the supporting paperwork in. I got a talking to by my BI about my credit. Lol that was a scary interview. Anyways afterwards he gave me a drug test and sent off for my references. Almost 2 months later I get a call saying im cleared and was offered the job. I told this story to let people know that you cant let anything hold you back. Put yourself out there!

Roger Boisjoly was a booster rocket engineer at NASA contractor Morton Thiokol in Utah in January, 1986, when he and four colleagues became embroiled in the fatal decision to launch the Space Shuttle Challenger.
Boisjoly was also one of two confidential sources quoted by NPR three weeks later in the first detailed report about the Challenger launch decision, and the stiff resistance by Boisjoly and other Thiokol engineers.
The experience both haunted and inspired Boisjoly in the decades that followed. We learned this weekend from this story in The New York Times that Boisjoly died last month in Utah at age 73.
Bulky, bald and tall, Boisjoly was an imposing figure, especially when armed with data. He found disturbing the data he reviewed about the booster rockets that would lift Challenger into space. Six months before the Challenger explosion, he predicted "a catastrophe of the highest order" involving "loss of human life" in a memo to managers at Thiokol.
The problem, Boisjoly wrote, was the elastic seals at the joints of the multi-stage booster rockets. They tended to stiffen and unseal in cold weather and NASA's ambitious shuttle launch schedule included winter lift-offs with risky temperatures, even in Florida.
On January 27, 1986, the forecast for the next morning at the Kennedy Space Center included a launch-time temperature as low as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. NASA had never launched in temperatures that cold and Boisjoly and his four colleagues at Thiokol headquarters in Utah concluded it would be too dangerous too launch.
Three weeks later, he told NPR's Daniel Zwerdling in an unrecorded and confidential interview, "I fought like Hell to stop that launch. I'm so torn up inside I can hardly talk about it, even now."
But Boisjoly did talk about it in a hotel room in Alabama, revealing for the first time the details of that effort to keep Challenger on the launch pad. He asked that he not be named but he agreed to be quoted anonymously. As he spoke with Zwerdling, a second engineer revealed the same details to me under the same conditions at his home in Brigham City, Utah.
Boisjoly's family agreed to release him from our pledge of confidentiality so that his efforts to get the truth out can be widely known.
"We all knew what the implication was without actually coming out and saying it," a tearful Boisjoly told Zwerdling in 1986. "We all knew if the seals failed the shuttle would blow up."
Armed with the data that described that possibility, Boisjoly and his colleagues argued persistently and vigorously for hours. At first, Thiokol managers agreed with them and formally recommended a launch delay. But NASA officials on a conference call challenged that recommendation.
"I am appalled," said NASA's George Hardy, according to Boisjoly and our other source in the room. "I am appalled by your recommendation."
Another shuttle program manager, Lawrence Mulloy, didn't hide his disdain. "My God, Thiokol," he said. "When do you want me to launch — next April?"
These words and this debate were not known publicly until our interviews with Boisjoly and his colleague. They told us that the NASA pressure caused Thiokol managers to "put their management hats on," as one source told us. They overruled Boisjoly and the other engineers and told NASA to go ahead and launch.
"We thought that if the seals failed the shuttle would never get off the launch pad," Boisjoly told Zwerdling. So, when Challenger lifted off without incident, he and the others watching television screens at Thiokol's Utah plant were relieved.
"And when we were one minute into the launch a friend turned to me and said, 'Oh God. We made it. We made it!'" Boisjoly continued. "Then, a few seconds later, the shuttle blew up. And we all knew exactly what happened."
Until NPR's story, the special commission investigating the Challenger tragedy hadn't even interviewed all the engineers involved in the pre-launch debate.
The explosion of Challenger and the deaths of its crew, including Teacher-in Space Christa McAuliffe, traumatized the nation and left Boisjoly disabled by severe headaches, steeped in depression and unable to sleep. When I visited him at his Utah home in April of 1987, he was thin, tearful and tense. He huddled in the corner of a couch, his arms tightly folded on his chest. But he was ready to speak publicly.
"I'm very angry that nobody listened," Boisjoly told me. And he asked himself, he said, if he could have done anything different. But then a flash of certainty returned.
"We were talking to the right people," he said. "We were talking to the people who had the power to stop that launch."
Boisjoly testified before the Challenger Commission and filed unsuccessful lawsuits against Thiokol and NASA. He continued to suffer and was ostracized by some of his colleagues. One said he'd drop his kids on Boisjoly's doorstep if they all lost their jobs, according to his wife Roberta.
"He took it very hard," she recalls. "He had always been held in such high esteem and it hurt so bad when they wouldn't listen to him."
A therapist recommended speaking out even more and for close to three decades, Boisjoly traveled to engineering schools around the world, speaking about ethical decision-making and sticking with data. "This is what I was meant to do," he told Roberta, "to have impact on young people's lives."
Boisjoly continued to respond to emails and letters from engineering students right up until his sudden death in his sleep last month in St. George, Utah. He was diagnosed with cancer two weeks before.
"He always stood by his work," Roberta recalls, her voice breaking. "He lived an honorable and ethical life. And he was at peace when he died."
In January 1986, when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, five engineers on the ground knew exactly what happened and why. In fact, they had tried to stop the launch the night before. They argued that freezing temperatures at launch time could cause catastrophic failure in the shuttle's booster rockets. Well, this weekend, we learned that one of those engineers has died. His name was Roger Boisjoly, and he marshaled the data that might have stopped the Challenger launch.
NPR's Howard Berkes has this remembrance.
HOWARD BERKES, BYLINE: Bulky, bald and tall, Roger Boisjoly was an imposing figure, especially when armed with data. Six months before the Challenger tragedy, he predicted in a memo a catastrophe of the highest order - loss of human life - if space shuttle contractor Morton Thiokol didn't act. Boisjoly was a Thiokol engineer, and three weeks after the explosion, he sat tearful in a hotel room in Alabama. Don't use my name or voice, he told NPR's Danny Zwerdling, who began his story this way.
BERKES: Boisjoly detailed the most frustrating experience of his life. He and his fellow engineers used their data to argue that launching in cold weather was dangerous. Cold caused the rubber O-rings that sealed the joints in the shuttle's booster rockets to stiffen and fail to seal. The Challenger launch would be the coldest ever. Zwerdling reported Boisjoly's words.
BERKES: The NASA officials on a conference call didn't want to hear it. The shuttle program managers were desperate to prove they could launch reliably. When do you want me to launch, one of them said, next April? A year later, Boisjoly suffered from disabling headaches. He moved boulders off his lawn all day so he'd be exhausted enough to sleep at night. And he huddled in the corner of a couch, thin and tearful, his arms folded tight, ready to speak out.
BERKES: Boisjoly testified before the Challenger Commission investigating the tragedy. He spoke openly in interviews. And he unsuccessfully sued Thiokol and NASA. But he never got a good answer to his question. NASA's decision to overrule the engineers, despite their data, and their vigorous and persistent arguments, was never fully explained.
BERKES: A therapist told Boisjoly to go out and talk about that night. And he did, for nearly three decades, to engineering students around the globe. He had a simple message: Make ethical decisions and stick to your data. His wife, Roberta, says he found relief and redemption in that work. This is what he was meant to do, he told her. Roger Boisjoly answered emails and letters from engineering students right up until his death in Utah last month at age 73. He had just been diagnosed with cancer, his widow says, and he died at peace. Howard Berkes, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
