HS Roundup: Horseheads, Notre Dame swimmers shine
Horseheads and Notre Dame combined for nine wins at Elmira invitational.
Horseheads won its class at the Dr. Jack Thomas Girls Swimming and Diving Invitational for the sixth year in a row Saturday and Elmira Notre Dame enjoyed a record-breaking day at Ernie Davis Academy's Thomas Natatorium.
Horseheads and Elmira Notre Dame combined to win nine of the 12 events in the two-day meet. The Blue Raiders beat out Maine-Endwell for the title in the A Division and Notre Dame was third in the C Division.
Cameron Murray won the diving Friday for Horseheads with a score of 457.05, the second straight invitational in which she topped the standard to qualify for the state championship meet. Horseheads' 400-yard relay of Maddy Rogan, Rachel Lewisky, Elise Keister and Hannah Ott qualified for states with their winning time of 3:41.71 on Saturday.
Notre Dame's Molly Craig broke the Interscholastic Athletic Conference, Section 4 Class C, pool and meet records in the 200 freestyle with her winning effort of 1:53.13. She won the 500 freestyle in 5:05.13, lowering her own sectional Class C mark and setting pool and IAC records. Her leadoff 100 time of 52.93 in the 400 freestyle also set a Section 4 Class C record.
Catherine Craig, Molly's sister, added a win in the 200 individual medley in 2:12.64 and a victory in the 100 breaststroke in an IAC-record 1:07.99. All of Notre Dame's winning efforts topped the state standard.
Other individual winners for Horseheads were Rogan in the 50 freestyle (25.01) and Lewisky in the 100 freestyle (55.52), just ahead of Rogan (55.60). Horseheads' 200 freestyle relay of Rogan, Lewisky, Katie Marshall and Kennidi TenEyck was also victorious (1:42.23).
Miles said after a slow start in the 200 freestyle, the Blue Raiders began rolling beginning with the 200 individual medley.
"We talked about the weekend coming in that the Class A division was the most loaded with talent it's ever been between Maine-Endwell, Owego, Chenango Valley and us," Horseheads head coach Mark Miles said. "We talked about that we had to come in and want to win the meet in order to have a chance to win the meet."
The state-qualifying effort in the 400 relay was a highlight. Rogan's anchor time was 53.4 seconds.
"(Qualifying for states) was something we didn't even discuss going into the weekend," Miles said. "I didn't think it was on our radar. I thought, 'Let's have a good swim and see if we can get a best time.' The girls were ecstatic. In seven years coaching, it's always a goal to get a relay to states. We always missed by .1 or .2 in a relay and today they just got it done."
Rogan's anchor split of 24.16 in the 200 freestyle relay brought Horseheads back from third place for the win.
Corning teams sweep, Watkins boys win at McQuaid: Corning senior Jessica Lawson was easily the class of the field among girls runners at the 52nd McQuaid Invitational at Genesee Valley Park in Rochester, winning the girls seeded varsity AAA race by 35 seconds to lead Corning to a team title. Corning and Watkins Glen won boys team championships.
Lawson's course-record time of 16 minutes, 28.2 seconds was followed by Webster Thomas' Amanda Vestri in 17:03.1, which also ranked second among all girls runners in the seven varsity races. Also for Corning, Kate Mertus finished eighth (18:04) and Emily Niu was 11th (18:14.3). The Hawks won their race with 96 points, 14 ahead of runner-up Niskayuna.
Aleziah Brooks' 31st-place run (18:54.6) led seventh-place Elmira in the same race, with teammate Casey Roman two spots behind (18:58.5).
Elmira Notre Dame's Chase Yoder took second in the girls unseeded A-2 race in 18:56.6. Cambria Weeden of Watkins Glen was eighth (19:25), with teammate Kai Sutterby 12th (19:27.6) and Notre Dame's Payton Yoder 15th (19:30.9).
Corning's Kevin Moshier placed fifth in the boys varsity AAA race in 15:03.9) as the Hawks finished with 74 points for the win, followed by Ithaca with 118. Noah Affolder of Carlisle won in 14:12.7 and Corning's Quinn Nicholson placed 11th (15:25.6). In the AAA unseeded race, Devin Woodworth finished sixth for Horseheads in 15:57.1.
Watkins Glen's boys won the team title in the seeded varsity A race, led by a third-place finish from Patrick Hazlitt (15:15.3) and five finishes among the top 22. Matt Karee of Notre Dame took 11th in that race (15:46.2), Watkins Glen's Shawn Rutledge was 13th (15:52.6) and the Senecas' Gabe Planty was 15th (15:54.2).
Elmira 1, Binghamton 0: Noah Sperduto's first-half goal off a Cody Wright assist held up as Elmira picked up its second win of the season with a home victory over Southern Tier Athletic Conference foe Binghamton.
Luke Baldwin had seven saves for the Express (2-7-2).
Oneonta 60, Watkins Glen/Odessa-Montour 0: Oneonta downed Watkins Glen/Odessa-Montour in a meeting of Division V teams that came into the day with 0-4 records.

Are glaciers fresh water?
When a large chunk of an ice shelf or a glacier breaks off and floats into the sea, it forms and iceberg. Since all the glaciers and ice shelves are snow, i.e., frozen fresh water, the icebergs so formed are undoubtedly fresh water. When the sea water or saltwater freezes, it does so slowly.
Also question is, are glaciers on land or water?
Icebergs float in salt water, but they are formed from freshwater glacial ice. Melting icebergs will cause sea level to rise. Icebergs are already floating in the ocean, so melting will not raise sea level. Melting of land-based ice (such as glaciers) will raise sea level.
How much of a glacier is above the water?
You have probably heard the statistic that approximately 90 percent of an iceberg is found under water. That's an amazing statistic to consider given the massive size of some icebergs, but the very fact that ice floats is pretty remarkable.
Is the ice in Antarctica salt water?
When sea ice forms, most of the salt is pushed into the ocean water below the ice, although some salt may become trapped in small pockets between ice crystals. Water below sea ice has a higher concentration of salt and is more dense than surrounding ocean water, and so it sinks.
What is the largest glacier in the world?
The world's largest glacier is the Lambert glacier in Antarctica , according to the United States Geological Survey.The glacier is more than 60 miles (96 km) wide at its widest point, about 270 miles (435) long, and has been measured to be 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) deep at its center.
How much of the world's freshwater is stored in glaciers?
As these charts and the data table show, the amount of water locked up in ice and snow is only about 1.7 percent of all water on Earth, but the majority of total freshwater on Earth, about 68.7 percent, is held in ice caps and glaciers.
How much freshwater is groundwater?
Of total freshwater, over 68 percent is locked up in ice and glaciers. Another 30 percent of freshwater is in the ground. Rivers are the source of most of the fresh surface water people use, but they only constitute about 300 mi3 (1,250 km3), about 1/10,000th of one percent of total water.
How much of the Earth's water is drinkable?
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
Why does a glacier move?
A glacier is a large accumulation of many years of snow, transformed into ice. This solid crystalline material deforms (changes) and moves. Glaciers, also known as "rivers of ice," actually flow. Gravity is the cause of glacier motion; the ice slowly flows and eforms (changes) in response to gravity.
What percentage of freshwater on earth is groundwater?
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of that three percent is inaccessible. Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps.
What will happen when the glaciers melt?
Sea Levels Rise. If a majority of the world's glaciers melt, including ice sheets, sea levels would rise significantly. But the largest ice sheets and glaciers, in Antarctica and Greenland, hold enough water to flood coastal cities and drastically change the world's coastlines.
Why is the glacier ice blue?
That is, a snow patch becomes a glacier when the deepest layers begin to deform due to the weight of the overlying snow and ice. Because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered.
How much of the Earth was covered by glaciers during the last ice age?
Facts about glaciers. Presently, 10 percent of land area on Earth is covered with glacial ice, including glaciers, ice caps, and the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. Glacierized areas cover over 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles).
Why was the sea level lower during the last ice age?
Sea levels drop globally during an ice age (also called a glacial period) as seawater is taken up in the ice sheets. There is decreased evaporation during an ice age and therefore less rain.
How long does it take for a glacier to move?
Most lakes in the world occupy basins scoured out by glaciers. Glacial motion can be fast (up to 30 m/day, observed on Jakobshavn Isbræ in Greenland) or slow (0.5 m/year on small glaciers or in the center of ice sheets), but is typically around 1 metre/day.
What is the percentage of Antarctica is not covered in ice?
It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles) and contains 26.5 million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice.
How many glaciers are there in the world?
Summary. There are about 198,000 glaciers in the world, covering 726,000 km2, and if they all melted they would raise sea levels by about 405 mm. Glaciers have short response times and therefore react quickly to climate change.
What kind of water is an iceberg made of?
Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers. This process is called calvin. Icebergs float in the ocean, but are made of frozen freshwater, not saltwater. Most icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere break off from glaciers in Greenland.
Is groundwater and freshwater the same thing?
The groundwater contained in aquifers is one of the most important sources of water on Earth: About 30 percent of our liquid freshwater is groundwater, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The rest is found at the surface in streams, lakes, rivers and wetlands.
What percentage of Antarctica is covered in ice and snow?
The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14 million square km and contains 30 million cubic km of ice. Around 90 percent of the fresh water on the Earth's surface is held in the ice sheet, an amount equivalent to 70 m of water in the world's oceans.
Is an ice cap a glacier?
Ice sheets are sometimes called polar ice caps. An ice cap is a glacier, a thick layer of ice and snow, that covers fewer than 50,000 square kilometers (19,000 square miles). Glacial ice covering more than 50,000 square kilometers (19,000 square miles) is called an ice sheet.
How does a glacier cause erosion and deposition?
Like flowing water, flowing ice erodes the land and deposits the material elsewhere. Glaciers cause erosion in two main ways: plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which rocks and other sediments are picked up by a glacier. They freeze to the bottom of the glacier and are carried away by the flowing ice.
Are the polar ice caps freshwater?
Glaciers and icecaps: Storehouses of freshwater. Even though you've maybe never seen a glacier, they are a big item when we talk about the world's water supply. Almost 10 percent of the world's land mass is currently covered with glaciers, mostly in places like Greenland and Antarctica.
What percent of Earth's water is found in glaciers?
The ocean holds about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is found in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is found in the ocean.

Q: Bash: How do I check (and return) the results of a command filtered by file content I executed a command on Linux to list all the files & subfiles (with specific format) in a folder.
This command is:
ls -R | grep -e "\.txt$" -e "\.py$"

In an other hand, I have some filenames stored in a file .txt (line by line).
I want to show the result of my previous command, but I want to filter the result using the file called filters.txt.

*

*If the result is in the file, I keep it

*Else, I do not keep it.

How can I do it, in bash, in only one line?
I suppose this is something like:
ls -R | grep -e "\.txt$" -e "\.py$" | grep filters.txt

An example of the files:
# filters.txt

README.txt
__init__.py

EDIT 1
I am trying to a file instead a list of argument because I get the error:
'/bin/grep: Argument list too long'

EDIT 2
# The result of the command ls -R
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 README.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 __init__.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 iamaninja.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 donttakeme.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 donttakeme2.txt

What I want as a result:
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 README.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 XXX     1 Oct 28 23:36 __init__.py

A: You can use comm :
comm -12 <(ls -R | grep -e "\.txt$" -e "\.py$" ) <(cat filters.txt)

This will give you the intersection of the two lists.
EDIT
It seems that ls is not great for this, maybe find Would be safer

A: find . -type f | xargs grep $(sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\\|/g' filters.txt)

That is, for each of your files, take your filters.txt and replace all newlines with \| using sed and then grep for all the entries.
Grep uses \| between items when grepping for more than one item. So the sed command transforms the filters.txt into such a list of items to be used by grep.

A: grep -f filters.txt -r .

..where . is your current folder.

A: You can run this script in the target directory, giving the list file as a single argument.
#!/bin/bash -e

# exit early if awk fails (ie. can't read list)
shopt -s lastpipe

find . -mindepth 1 -type f -name '*.txt' -o -name '*.py' -print0 |
awk -v exclude_list_file="${1?:no list file provided}" \
'BEGIN {
    while ((getline line < exclude_list_file) > 0) {
        exclude_list[c++] = line
    }

    close(exclude_list_file)

    if (c==0) {
        exit 1
    }

    FS = "/"
    RS = "\000"
}

{
    for (i in exclude_list) {
        if (exclude_list[i] == $NF) {
            next
        }
    }

    print
}'

*

*It prints all paths, recursively, excluding any filename which exactly matches a line in the list file (so lines not ending .py or .txt wouldn't do anything).

*Only the filename is considered, the preceding path is ignored.

*It fails immediately if no argument is given or it can't read a line from the list file.

*The question is tagged bash, but if you change the shebang to sh, and remove shopt, then everything in the script except -print0 is POSIX. -print0 is common, it's available on GNU (Linux), BSDs (including OpenBSD), and busybox.

*The purpose of lastpipe is to exit immediately if the list file can't be read. Without it, find keeps runs until completion (but nothing gets printed).

*If you specifically want the ls -l output format, you could change awk to use a null output record separator (add ORS = "\000" to the end of BEGIN, directly below RS="\000"), and pipe awk in to xargs -0 ls -ld.

A balance disorder is a condition marked by the symptoms of feeling unsteady or dizzy. Even while standing, lying or sitting still, a person with a balance disorder will feel as if they are moving, spinning or floating. While walking, people may feel as if they are tipping over.
Primary symptoms include dizziness or a spinning sensation (vertigo), falling or feeling as if you are going to fall, lightheadedness, faintness, a floating sensation, blurred vision, confusion or disorientation. Other symptoms include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, fear and anxiety or panic attacks.
These disorders can be caused by anything that affects the inner ear or the brain such as medications, ear infections or head injuries. The risk for balance disorders increases as people get older.
What Are the Most Common Balance Disorders?
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) involves brief but intense periods of vertigo that are triggered by specific changes in head position. It occurs when tiny crystals in the otolith organs become dislodged and migrate to the semicircular canals.
Meniere's disease is a chronic condition that causes vertigo, tinnitus, fullness in the ear and fluctuating hearing loss that may eventually become permanent. Meniere's is usually confined to one ear and though its cause is unknown it may be the result of abnormal fluid buildup in the inner ear.
Labyrinthitis is an inflammation of the inner ear usually caused by an infection. Its symptoms include vertigo, temporary hearing loss and tinnitus.
Medications (antihistamines, sedatives, antibiotics or steroids).
Lifestyle modifications (such as dietary changes and elimination of alcohol and nicotine).


A Gentle Spirit was written immediately after finishing my opera Therese, commissioned by the Royal Opera House for performance in 1978.
Gerard McLarnon, the librettist for both operas, suggested that I read the Dostoievsky short story. The dark, brooding character of this extraordinary drama immediately suggested musical ideas, and we constructed a highly ritualistic and condensed opera from the somewhat rambling character of the original Dostoievsky.
The music is at once characterised by a slightly out of tune minor third, which emphasises the claustrophobic nature of the story. The music is punctuated by seven 'remembrances' of the girl's suicide, taking her husband cyclically back from the present, to his first meeting with her in the pawn-shop, to their marriage, to their immediate alienation, to her attempt to kill him, to his total 'metanoia' (ie, his change of heart expressed at the end, by Russian orthodox prostration). His 'metanoia' however is too late - his wife is no longer able to bear 'love' and she commits suicide.
A Gentle Spirit was commissioned by the Bath Festival for the Nash Ensemble with funds made available by the Arts Council of Great Britain. The fist performance took place on 6th June 1977 at the Theatre Royal, Bath. The Nash Ensemble was conducted by Mark Elder with Elise Ross (wife) and Kenneth Woollam (husband).

Gear Q&A: Wristy Procedure
by: Jon Levey | July 08, 2019
Tags: The Pro Shop, Gear Q&A
Jon Levey answers your equipment questions in Gear Q&A. Click here to email your question, or send him a tweet at @72unforced.
In addition to the issues you mention on "Gear Q&A: Wristy Business," does string tension have an impact on wrist health? It has been recommended to me that I go below the recommended range on my racquet. What do you think? Thanks.—Steve L.
Several years ago, I answered a reader question about whether the weight of his frame and its grip size could be the culprits behind his recurring wrist pain. I responded that they certainly could be behind the problem, and added other potential sources such as racquet flex, strings, string pattern and probably the most responsible: technique. However, one factor that I did not mention was string tension.
But I should have. The higher the string tension, the firmer the response, and the more disturbing the feedback when contact is off-center. Which becomes particularly problematic when applied in a stiff, lightweight frame strung with a rigid polyester string. That's the holy trinity of arm trouble.
For many players accustomed to using more flexible frames and multifilament strings, it was pretty standard to adopt string tensions in the mid-to-upper 50s. However, as equipment has evolved, stringing at those tensions can make for an unforgiving string bed. Hitting outside the sweet spot can result in added shock that can do a number on the joints of the arm, including the wrist.
As a result, there has been a growing trend in dropping string tension across the levels of the game. Wilson noticed it in its US Open tournament stringing room. Over the past decade the average string tension of the entrants dropped one pound per year—from 55 to 45 pounds. An increasing number of pros are even competing with tensions in the 30s. This was part of the impetus behind Luxilon releasing LXN Smart string earlier this year, which has a recommended tension range of 44 pounds, +/- 4 pounds.
Racquet manufacturers have also taken note. 50 pounds was generally the de-facto basement in recommended tension ranges, but several companies have become more expansive. Many have dipped down in the 40s, with Yonex and Dunlop going as low as 45 pounds.
Recreational players are often reluctant to experiment at such low tensions. It does create a springier string bed, which can cause control issues. Pros can compensate by revving up the RPMs to create more spin, but that's not always an option for the weekend warrior. Still, if you're using a stiffer, control string, dropping the tension is a smart way to mitigate some of the harsh feedback while getting easier depth from the softer string bed.
Another thing to consider along with the tension, is restringing frequency. If you're snapping your strings at a regular clip, then it's not an issue. However, most players use their strings well past their expiration date. And in the case of polyester strings, they tend to degrade quicker with use and time, often stretching extensively before breaking. As they lose resiliency, the strings absorb less of the impact, while requiring the user to swing harder to produce customary power. Both consequences will take a toll on arm health.
Add it up and stringing lower and more often are both wise choices when trying to remedy an aching wrist.

State Capitol: On what may be seen as the day that became the turning point of Illinois state government in an effort to finally pass a budget, the leadership of the Senate Republicans is also changing.
The senate Republican caucus selected Sen Bill Brady, of Bloomington-Normal, to be their new leader. Brady, who ran as the Republican candidate for governor in 2010 and narrowly lost the election to Pat Quinn, will be the only downstate lawmaker to serve as a leader of one of the four major caucuses.
Brady served in the House for eight years, before joining the Senate in 2002.
Brady, who just turned 56 in May, is married to wife Nancy, and is a grandfather. He has a long tenure as a small businessman.

DRAD and NLG File FOIA, Seek Exposure of Infiltration into Inauguration Protests by Law Enforcement and Collusion with Far-Right Groups
Law enforcement court testimony against acquitted J20 defendants exposed infiltration
Contact: Chip Gibbons, Defending Rights & Dissent
chip@rightsanddissent.org
Maggie Ellinger-Locke, National Lawyers Guild
Ellinger.Locke@gmail.com
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Defending Rights and Dissent (DRAD) and the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) have once again teamed up to seek information about the Metropolitan Police Department's (MPD) conduct during Inauguration protests.
Earlier today, the two groups filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking information about the infiltration of protest group DisruptJ20 by MPD, as well as the extent of MPD cooperation with non-law enforcement third parties like Project Veritas.
During the first criminal trials stemming from the J20 protests, Officer Bryan Adelmeyer testified in open court about MPD's infiltration of protest planning meetings. He also confirmed in testimony that Project Veritas, an ultraconservative and widely discredited organization, did the same. Prosecutors played video footage for the jury during trial that was taken by a member of Project Veritas using a hidden button-camera. Ultimately all six defendants were acquitted by the jury; 188 defendants from the inauguration protests are still awaiting trial.
"MPD's dragnet of J20 protesters apparently includes video obtained by white supremacists who infiltrated groups planning protected First Amendment activities," said Maggie Ellinger-Locke, Executive Vice President of the NLG. "We call on the U.S. Attorney to put an end to this practice by dismissing all remaining charges against the 188 other J20 defendants."
As explained in the FOIA request, MPD must comply with the "Police Investigations Concerning First Amendment Activities Act of 2004." When asked at trial (and under oath) about his compliance with key components of this Act such as the requirement to obtain written authorization before infiltrating political groups, Officer Adelmeyer responded that he could not recall. The extent of Officer Adelmeyer's directive was to "study the concerns and issues that are paramount within the anti-establishment community."
"It is entirely inappropriate for the MPD to deem certain views 'anti-establishment' and then gather information on them. Political activism is not a crime and police infiltration of activist groups chills speech and deters political participation, which is why the City Council has explicitly imposed statutory restrictions on investigations of First Amendment protected activity. Officer Adelmeyer's testimony raises serious questions about whether the MPD is following those restrictions and if they are relying on third parties, who have their own political goals, to evade these prohibitions," said Chip Gibbons, Policy and Legislative Counsel for DRAD.
The FOIA seeks all unredacted videos, notes, training materials, and other records concerning MPD's infiltration of DisruptJ20 and its collaboration with far-right organizations, including Project Veritas, Oath Keepers, The Rebel Media, and Media Research Center.
The National Lawyers Guild was formed in 1937 as the nation's first racially integrated bar association to advocate for the protection of constitutional, human and civil rights.
Defending Rights & Dissent is a national civil liberties organization that works to fulfill the promise of the Bill of Rights for everyone, with a special emphasis on protecting political expression in order to create a participatory democracy.

Lately, I've been coming across more and more news about media outlets holding upfront presentations to attract potential advertisers. Once only used in reference to the North American television industry, upfronts are rapidly becoming a trend in other entertainment media industries as well.
NPR recently held an important upfront in conjunction with other public radio stations to pitch to advertisers on the behalf of podcasts. Vox Media, an American digital media company, recently held its own upfront presentation as a way to attract more advertisers in the digital realm.
Although it's only been around for a few years, Vox has quickly become one of the foremost digital media platforms, and has amassed a significant number of prominent partners including Accel Partners, Comcast Ventures, and General Atlantic. "We believe Vox Media represents one of the most attractive opportunities for capitalizing on a clear and important secular trend that is still in its early innings: the generational shift in news, entertainment, and content distribution and consumption driven by global social connectivity and increasing smartphone penetration," says Anton Levy, a Managing Director at GA, of the partnership and what makes Vox Media such a powerhouse.
With this in mind, Vox has positioned itself to not only be one of the leading digital media companies for users, but for advertisers as well.
For more information about Vox Media and its recent upfront, be sure to check out this detailed coverage from Michael Sebastian at Ad Age.

Free SHS 'thieves' must be punished severely - Bawumia
Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has warned that government is determined to punish severely officials who steal or divert resources meant for Free Senior High School beneficiaries.
"I want to see sterner actions taken against such persons, particularly those who decide to divert or steal resources meant for the FSHS programme," he said.
Dr Bawumia gave the warning at the 50th anniversary celebration of the enstoolment of Nana Boakye Tromu Iii as Omanhene and President of the Duayaw Nkwanta Traditional Council in the Brong Ahafo Region Saturday.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, what is rather sad and disturbing in the implementation of the FSHS policy is the desire by some Ghanaians to make sure the programme fails. In the last few months of its implementation we have had reports of deliberate attempts by some individuals ranging from matrons, heads of institutions, and others attempting to circumvent the regulations and stealing materials intended to benefit the children who are in their care. This is an unacceptable," Dr Bawumia stated.
According to him, actions to curb the situation should not just end at the doorstep of naming and shaming but also with prosecution, where applicable. Touching on the genuine challenges confronting the programme, the Vice President said, government had taken note of the problems "and is working feverishly to address them and by the Grace God, Ghanaians will reap the benefits in the very near future".
Touching on unemployment, the vice president said reaffirmed government's commitment to tackle the situation head on saying, "we are working hard and coming out with policies that will create more sustainable jobs for our youth".
"We have come up with innovative programmes such as "Planting for Food and Jobs" and "Planting for Jobs and Investments" both in the Agricultural sector. I am reliably informed that, a large number of farmers in this District have registered and have been supplied with inputs to participate in the Planting for Food and Jobs and the story so far has been positive," he said.
Touching on the environment, the vice president urged citizens to be more responsible and protect the resources they have inherited from their forefathers.
According to him, the rate at which the forest in the Duayaw Nkwanta area is being depleted by illegal chainsaw operators was very worrying.
"In spite of the efforts being put in place by state agencies responsible for these resources, people are still destroying the forest with impunity. Frankly, this is a sad situation which should not be tolerated. I want to appeal to all those engaged in the illegal act to see reason to put a stop to it. Otherwise, the full force of the state will come against them soon, and there will be no safe haven for them," he said.

Gentherm Provides Update Related to COVID-19
NORTHVILLE, Mich., March 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gentherm (NASDAQ:THRM), a global market leader and developer of innovative thermal management technologies, today provided an update on its business and financial position in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy.
As a safeguard against the uncertainties ahead surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has recently drawn an additional $169 million on its revolving credit facility to increase its cash position and provide additional financial flexibility. As of March 20, 2020, the Company had approximately $35 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash prior to the draw down. As a result of the draw down, a total of $224 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company has $240 million remaining available for additional borrowings subject to specified conditions that Gentherm currently satisfies. In addition, the Company is prudently addressing its day-to-day operations, including reducing expenses, inventory levels and capital spending."At Gentherm, our top priority remains the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities. Our dedicated teams are operating in a highly dynamic situation, and we continue to assess the implications for our business across both our customer and supply bases," said Phil Eyler, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While our Automotive operations that drive a substantial portion of our revenues are operating at a reduced capacity, the demand for medical equipment such as our Blanketrol® has grown and the production of our medical products is considered essential manufacturing under current government mandates."The COVID-19 pandemic is dramatically affecting the automotive industry including the temporary suspension of vehicle production across Asia, Europe and North America. As a result of the unprecedented uncertainty facing the automotive industry and global economy, Gentherm is withdrawing its 2020 guidance. The Company will provide a further update when it announces first-quarter results in late April. Eyler concluded, "While the health crisis has created significant near-term challenges, the fundamentals of our business are strong. Over the past two years, we have disposed of non-core businesses and product lines and aggressively reduced costs under our 'Fit-for-Growth' program. Those actions, along with our strong balance sheet, ample liquidity and our intense focus on managing current expenses position us well to weather this crisis." Investor Relations Contact

Woman killed in fatal hit-and-run crash in Clay County identified
FHP says the semi-truck driver continued driving on US 17 after the crash, but was later found and arrested for not stopping.
Author: First Coast News
Published: 8:28 AM EDT March 15, 2019
Updated: 4:54 PM EDT March 15, 2019
UPDATE 11:50 a.m.: All lanes of US-17 are back open, according to the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
A woman died after a reported hit-and-run crash in Clay County Friday morning.
Florida Highway Patrol says the crash happened on US-17 near Westover Road. Troopers say a 68-year-old semi-truck driver hit the rear of 50-year-old Maria Ocasio's Toyota Avalon, causing her to crash into a support pole.
Ocasio did not survive the crash. Investigators say she was wearing her seatbelt.


In September 2010 Lama Zopa Rinpoche continued to give teachings in the Blue Mountains in North Carolina hosted by Kadampa Center, Raleigh. These teachings were the second in a series of recurring teachings on the text "Lamp on the path to enlightenment" by the Nalanda master Atisha. The essence of these teachings were then compiled into online courses on the FPMT Online Learning Center.
The teachings were translated live into the French, Spanish, German and Chinese.
Audio files are available in English, Español, Français, German and Chinese.
Dharma is a total way of life. It's not just for breakfast, Sundays, or the temple. If you're subdued and controlled in the temple but aggressive and uncontrolled outside of it, your understanding of Dharma is neither continuous nor indestructible.


Most of you are probably thinking, "Hey, wait a minute, Independence Day is still two days away."
Ah, but the answer isn't that simple. Did you know there are folks who believe Independence Day should be celebrated today--on July 2nd--rather than on July 4th? To understand this, we need to take a closer look at the timeline of the Declaration of Independence.
June 7, 1776 - Richard Henry Lee introduces a motion to the Continental Congress "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."
This motion was followed by heated debates, and the voting on the motion was postponed. However, Congress did appoint a committee to draft a declaration. This committee consisted of five men, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston.
July 2, 1776 - The delegates of Congress cast their votes, and the resolution of independence is adopted. The Colonies will indeed declare their independence from Britain. After the vote, John Adams wrote in a letter to his wife that he believed this day would go down in history and be celebrated for generations to come.
July 4, 1776 - Congress adopts the final version of Jefferson's Declaration. John Hancock, as the President of the assembly immediately signed the document, as well as his secretary Charles Thompson, then it was sent to the printers. The rest of the delegates did not sign until a month later.
August 2, 1776 - The Declaration of Independence is officially signed by the members of congress. However, there were several signers who were not present at this ceremony and didn't sign until even later.
November of 1776 - The Declaration of Independence is finally delivered to Great Britain.
John Adams, one of the drafters of the declaration, believed that July 2nd should have been the day celebrated as the birth of our nation. After all, it was on July 2nd that Congress actually voted in favor of independence. Some reports have said that he even declined invitations to July 4th events because he felt so strongly about it.
The delegates of congress did not sign the document on July 4th.
They did not deliver the Declaration of Independence to Britain on July 4th.
The declaration was not even publicly read on July 4th.
July 4th is when the declaration was officially adopted in its final version, so that's the date that was printed on all the copies that were made and distributed throughout the nation. The American people saw this date on the printed copies, and that's the date that stuck. The first time July 4th was celebrated as the anniversary was in 1777, so it was July 4th rather than the 2nd right from the start.
Another interesting thing is that two of the drafters, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, died within hours of each other on July 4th, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the declaration.
July 4th became a federal holiday in 1870, but it took until 1941 to get it as a paid holiday.
Obviously, it's too late to change it now, but I'm curious to hear your opinion.
What do you think, should we have made Independence Day July 2nd, or July 4th?
Hi Amber, interesting blog--thank you!
Great post! I wasn't aware of all the different dates but July 4th still works for me! Have a Happy 4th, Amber!
Thanks for stopping by, Melanie! Good to see you. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
The Second of July? Doesn't sound right. Of course, if that had been the holiday all along, the Fourth of July wouldn't sound right. My grandmother and aunt were both born on the Fourth. Leave it!
Haha, I think you're right, Terri. However we're used to it is what sounds right to us. Thanks for weighing in, and happy birthday to your grandma and aunt! What a great birthday to have!
I don't think it matters when we celebrate our country's birth, but it's important that we do. We're celebrating on the 3rd this year at my sister's place.
I completely agree with you, Vickie. We're celebrating on the 3rd, 4th and 5th this year. :) I think it's so important to remember the birth of our country and what it was founded upon, and also the hearts of the men and women that put so much into it.

What has always fascinated me about cinema is its manner of transcending all boundaries imposed by time. As with all artistic expressions, the revival of an oeuvre reminds us how even the earliest of works still evoke emotions within us. Following its initial release in the spring of 1926, Berlin, the rebirth of Reiniger's 'The Adventures of Prince Achmed' is a perfect embodiment of this notion. As one of the earliest surviving animated features of all time, the film remains an indisputable display of unfading artistry.
'Prince Achmed' is a grand testament to the vision of pioneering silhouette animator, Lotte Reiniger. Seduced by the tales of 1001 Arabian Nights, her film follows the voyage of a young prince who ventures through chaos to free his lover, Pari Banu, from evil. In working entirely with black silhouette figures and settings, the film offers a unique poetic lyricism, recalling how sophisticated animation may even arise in the simplest of forms.
Such attention to detail is only further enhanced through the film's use of music, which was exclusively composed by Wolfgang Zeller. The unity between his expressive rhythms with the film's unique physicality is moving to experience -no less considering the film's initial debut with live orchestra.
Such reinterpretations particularly resonate with me, as they recall a sense of patent timelessness. Solely aroused by the most unique of oeuvres, they remind us how one's personal expressions may even awaken the senses of another's. For as with all great auteur's, Reiniger's role exceeds that of delivering a singular narrative, but rather to prompt or stir a feeling within her viewers –allowing us to experience our own personal perceptions.

FC Barcelona's Neymar appears in court to face corruption charges
By: IANS |
Published: February 3, 2016 10:21:00 AM
FC Barcelona striker Neymar appeared in the Spanish National Court in Madrid on Tuesday to answer charges of corruption and fraud related to his transfer from Brazilian club, Santos in the summer of 2013.
The striker arrived at the court along with his father, who is also under investigation, looking relaxed and even stopped to sign autographs before entering the building, Xinhua reported.

His declaration lasted for 90 minutes, before he left the building without making any declarations to the press.
The investigation involves the contracts signed by Barcelona and Santos following a lawsuit placed by the company 'DIS' which owned a 40 percent stake in the player.
DIS claim they should be paid 40 percent of the 83.3 million euros ($91 million) Spanish authorities estimate Barca paid for the 23-year-old.
Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu and his predecessor Sandro Rosell, who are also indicted in the case, had earlier appeared in court on Monday.

A dispute resolution court on Wednesday allowed prisoners to take part in the August 4 referendum, sparking fears it could be delayed.
Lawyers for the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) warned of a possible delay immediately after a five-judge bench ordered that inmates be registered for the referendum within 21 days.
IIEC lawyer Kimani Muhoro said the ruling could be a major setback. He said printing and distributing registers to prisons and retrieving them for verification might go beyond the August 4 date set for the referendum.
On Wednesday night, the IIEC was still studying the ruling. However, organs driving the constitution review allayed the fears, saying inmates could be registered in time for the vote.
Parliamentary Select Committee boss Mohammed Abdikadir said the ruling was limited to prisoners and would not affect the ongoing verification exercise.
Committee of Experts director Ekuru Aukot said the referendum date was set by the law and could not be changed.
"This (prison) is a restricted constituency and I would, therefore, expect that registration and verification would be easy as the prisoners will not be moving from one place to another," said Dr Aukot.
In the landmark ruling, the Interim Independent Constitutional Dispute Resolution Court gave the prisoners a reason to smile by allowing them, for the first time, to exercise their voting rights.
Justices S. Mukunya, Sankale ole Kantai, Scholastica Omondi, Jamila Mohammed and Mburugu M'Nkanata, however, restricted the right to inmates of sound mind who have not committed election offences.
Attorney-General Amos Wako was ordered to open up the jails for IIEC staff to register inmates. The prisons will be gazetted as polling stations.
The judges' decision arose out of a case filed by inmates against the IIEC, challenging their exclusion from the process. The judges disagreed with IIEC's fears of a delay, saying the registration of about 53,000 inmates in 90 prisons could not disrupt the electoral process.
"In this era of electronic advancement, this should not pose a challenge. This can be done well in advance of the August 4 referendum," said the judges.
Shimo la Tewa Prison inmates in Mombasa said in their suit papers that the constitution barred them from voting in general elections, but not in a referendum. They said their exclusion would be unconstitutional and a violation of their rights.
The inmates said in the landmark case filed through Kituo Cha Sheria, a human rights legal aid group, that the referendum was about a new constitution and all Kenyans should take part.
"Denying prisoners the right to participate does not in any way act as a deterrent to the commission of a crime," the inmates said. They also said that some of them were awaiting trial or being kept in detention because they could not raise bond.
In response, the IIEC asked the court to dismiss the case, saying it did not have the jurisdiction to deal with it. The IIEC also said the case was time barred as it was brought after registration was closed.
It added the case failed to prove that a specific person wishing to be registered had been turned away. Kenya now joins countries like South Africa and Canada, which allow prisoners to vote.


Knit ties are excellent accessories worn round the neck under the shirt collar and knotted at the neck. Lately knitted ties have gained a lot of popularity and can be worn not only in warmer months but round the year. For years silk and wool were the only materials used to make knit ties but now blends like the linen and wool, linen and cotton or linen with silk can be a great option. Usually narrow knitted ties with a width of 2.5 to 3 inches look the best but they should be worn if the coat lapels are also of a similar width, but wider ones look good when worn under a jacket with wide lapels or a double breasted suit. It is advisable to tie just one knot which is the four in hand knot with knit ties; otherwise the knot gets really bulky and big.
Knit ties come in a variety of colors but darker and muted shades look good during winters while vivid or brighter shades are suitable for summer months. Maroon, black and navy blue knitted ties are the most popular choices today, but a black tie worn over a white shirt will work wonders. Apart from the plain single colored ties horizontal stripes in contrasting colors or a zigzag design look quite stylish while ties knitted with small polka dots also look classy. Another option for a knitted tie is a tie that has a different colored tip. The materials for knit ties are either softer knit ties that are worn with casual outfits and the solid knit ties that can be worn with formal businesslike suits.

Boko Haram attack: Female suicide bomber detonates explosive in Nigerian market killing 34, says doctor
By Michael Olukayode
A bomb attack at a market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri Tuesday killed at least 34 people, according to a doctor at the State Specialist Hospital in the town.
Twenty-eight bodies were brought to the hospital, while another six people died of their wounds at the facility, the doctor, who didn't want his name to be used because he isn't authorised to speak to the media, said Tuesday in Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.

A woman detonated the explosive that was strapped to her body, Hassan Ibrahim, member of a local vigilante group that's fighting the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, said by phone from Maiduguri.
The city, the birthplace of Boko Haram, has been a target of deadly bombings and grenade attacks by the militants in their campaign to establish an Islamic caliphate in Africa's biggest oil producer.

At least 54 people were killed on March 8 in separate blasts targeting the market and a transit hub in the city, bringing the number of attacks this year to five.
The group pledged allegiance to Islamic State this month as forces from neighbouring Chad and Niger joined Nigerian soldiers in the fight against the insurgency. Those joint operations are showing signs of weakening the militants.
Child hostages can't remember names
Up to 80 children that had been rescued from a Boko Haram camp in Cameroon cannot remember their names or where they came from, an aid official who visited them told the BBC.

Christopher Fomunyoh, a director for the US-based National Democratic Institute (NDI), told the BBC that the children, aged between 5 and 18 - could not speak French, English or other local languages.
The children are being rehabilitated at an orphanage in Cameroon.

Fomunyoh told the BBC the children had spent such a long time with their captors, being indoctrinated in jihadist ideology, they had lost their identity.
"They've lost touch with their parents," he told the news outlet. "They've lost touch with people in their villages, they're not able to articulate, to help trace their relationships, they can't even tell you what their names are."

Tactics changing
"The series of military strikes from the regional force in recent weeks has forced Boko Haram to change its tactics away from capturing and occupying territory, to launching single or double target suicide bomb attacks," Chris Becker, the lead economist and strategist at African Alliance Securities in Johannesburg, said in emailed comments on Wednesday.
"The engagement of the multinational force has changed the operational climate," he said. "Even if Boko Haram is not yet going backwards it has certainly stopped moving forward."
Nigeria postponed presidential and legislative elections scheduled for last month until March 28 after Goodluck Jonathan's national security adviser said the military needed more time to subdue the rebels and ensure voters' safety.
"I deplore this act of terror, and the many others carried out by the extremists," Jonathan was quoted as saying in a statement e-mailed on Wednesday by the presidency. "This is a sad moment for us all. It is a time for extra vigilance."
Boko Haram killed more than 4700 people last year, double the number in 2013, according to the Bath, UK-based risk consultancy, Verisk Maplecroft.

NASA Budget Details: Constellation Cancelled, But Where To Next?
We've lost the Moon. But have we gained the solar system while boosting commercial space ventures? "The President's Budget cancels Constellation and replaces it with a bold new approach that invests in the building blocks of a more capable approach to space exploration," states the Office of Management and Budget's Fact Sheet on NASA's 2011 budget. NASA will get additional $6 billion over the next five years tacked on to the current budget of just under $18 billion. The budget information released so far does not provide for a specific destination for humans in space. So, while some see this new direction as a course correction; others see it as an endgame. With an extension to the International Space Station to 2020, humans may well be stuck in low Earth orbit for at least another decade.
In this budget, the Ares rocket is history, and while no decision has been made on a heavy lift vehicle – necessary to launch humans beyond low-Earth orbit – NASA has been directed to continue research on such a vehicle that will "increase the capability of future exploration architectures with significantly lower operations costs than current systems – potentially taking us farther and faster into space."
But in this proposed budget, which must be approved by Congress, NASA will provide funds for commercial space companies to build vehicles to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS. With the space shuttle program ending this year, NASA had agreed to pay Russia $50 million a seat. Commercial space companies could likely provide the seats for less money, but their vehicles are not yet human rated or tested.
It is true that the Constellation program was "over budget, behind schedule, and lacking in innovation due to a failure to invest in critical new technologies." But $9 billion has already been spent on developing the Ares rockets and the Orion crew capsule, and $2.5 billion is in the budget proposal to close out Constellation.
Proponents of Obama's budget proposal say moving towards using private commercial space companies will create more jobs per dollar because the government's investment would be leveraged by millions of dollars in private investments.
"NASA investment in the commercial spaceflight industry is a win-win decision," said Bret Alexander, president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, in a statement released last week. "Commercial crew will create thousands of high-tech jobs in the United States, especially in Florida, while reducing the spaceflight gap and preventing us from sending billions to Russia.'
NASA already has contracts with SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp. to bring cargo to the station, and . SpaceX is also developing vehicles to bring astronauts to orbit and back.
Already, some say they will fight this budget. "I, for one, intend to stand up and fight for NASA, and for the thousands of people who stand to lose their jobs," said Senator Bill Nelson last week, as rumors were flying and details about the budget were leaking out.
With the US facing a federal deficit of $1.26 trillion in 2011, Obama federal budget proposal puts a three-year freeze on most non-defense discretionary spending after 2011, which the president believes will save $250 billion over the next 10 years. So, giving NASA the $6 billion over the next five year is a way to circumvent that freeze for NASA.
The budget proposal also includes:
$183 million to extend operations of the ISS past its previously planned retirement date of 2016. NASA will deploy new research facilities to conduct scientific research and test technologies in space. New capabilities could include a centrifuge to support research into human physiology, inflatable space habitats, and a program to continuously upgrade Space Station capabilities.
$600 million to complete the final five shuttle missions, allowing for a safe and orderly retirement of the Space Shuttle program even if its schedule slips into Fiscal Year 2011.
$1.2 billion for transformative research in exploration technology that will involve NASA, private industry, and academia, sparking spin-off technologies and potentially entire new industries.
$150 million to accelerate the development of new satellites for Earth Science priorities.
$170 million to develop and fly a replacement of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, a mission to identify global carbon sources and sinks that was lost when its launch vehicle failed in 2009.
$500 million to contract with industry to provide astronaut transportation to the ISS, reducing the sole reliance on foreign crew transports and catalyzing new businesses and significant new jobs.
Increases Scientific Understanding of the Solar System and Universe
$3.2 billion for science research grants and dozens of missions and telescopes studying the planets and stars – including new missions such as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, missions to study the Moon, and two Mars exploration missions.
$14 million ($420 million over five years) for a mission to the Sun, flying through its outer atmosphere to better understand how it is heated and how it ejects the stream of charged particles known as the solar wind.
Increase funding to detect asteroids that could potentially pose a hazard to the Earth.
Increase annually the percentage of NASA higher education program student participants employed by NASA, aerospace contractors, universities, and other educational institutions.

The real science has only just begun aboard the ISS. As MOST of the effort so far, has been centered on construction and maintenance! AND there's always the possibility of serendipitous discovery~
Biggest problem? Drinking a congratulatory beer on orbit?
Craigboy says:
But with no objectives why would a budget increase matter?
Andy F says:
In my guts I never felt the constellation programme was going anywhere, so the decision to ditch the Moon is no surprise. Neither am I a big fan of the ISS, so to me extending it is a waste. I don't think a few guys orbiting in LEO is particularly exciting ot inspirational or has much science left in it.
I do like the sound of the £3.2 billion for science and telescope missions and the Mars missions…. all unmanned I presume… far safer, at a fraction of the cost…. and we'll learn far more.
The truth is for science, we don't need astronauts anymore, and I'm quite comfortable with the next person on the Moon being Chinese.

Torbjorn Larsson OM says:
This is great news!
First, it seems to adopt Flexible Path, which means synergy in looking for NEO hazards and exploration. The space community got their wishes granted, as I understand the Augustin Commission work. In any case it's a slam dunk for the Planetary Society, which previous work set the scene for this affordable and achievable strategy.
Second, a timely switch over to commercial launchers _and_ habitats (apparently), on a cost basis. I don't know how long ISS can be extended, but it is definitely better ROI on using it as the research platform it was constructed as than to shut it down a year after finishing it.
Third, it increases the tempo on exploration and research both, by fully funding the basic programs.
Fourth, it maintains vital climate and resource research.
The only bummer I can see is that it shelves a big launcher, and by putting it on NASA's proven "development-without-a-fully-funded-program-is-a-total-loss" program. (Witness Constellation.) Now I hope it isn't a total waste of money as the leap-frog technology of VASIMR drive may be supported by more than the ISS tryout.
Sorry, Augustine.
Nu huh:
NASA, working with industry, will build, fly, and test in orbit key technologies [My bold.]
It's not the usual NASA total-loss path, then.
SteveZodiac says:
I have to agree with Torbjorn but I was hoping for moon based telescopes. Does that last post mean Ares I but no Ares V or IV?
dansolo111 says:
No agencies budget, including NASA will ever be increased or safe until this country reduces the amount it spends on defense. This newly proposed budget saves $250 billion over 10 years (big deal, that's $25 billion per year out of a 1.4+ trillion dollar deficit). We spend ~$700 billion on defense (not including other defense related expenses like CIA/homeland security, etc. which bring it to about $1 trillion per year. $700 billion is about $5,340 per U.S. tax payer. There are about 132 million taxpayers in this country. Defense is about 1/3rd of our budget (taking all sources) or about 22% taking just defense alone (about the same as medicare and Social Security).
Why do we need to spend this kind of dough on defense? F-22's and carrier battlegroups don't defeat terrorists or win localized wars. Nuclear weapons deter any escalation beyond that. We have some irrational fear that we will no longer be a superpower. Our decline will be because we didn't invest this money in performing assets like roads, new energy, or simply letting the taxpayers keep more money. This much spending on defense doesn't make us stronger, but only weaker. China spends $50 billion (at most $150 billion on its military. The U.S. Navy has 13 times the battle tonnage of the next 13 largest navies in the world, and most of them are our allies anyway.
I'm all for a strong defense and believe that keeping the technology and infrastructure intact for building advanced weapons systems is a good idea. However, to build several hundred F-22's for example, just in case they are needed is stupid, antiquated Cold War thinking. The department of defense and its contractors have a incredibly powerful lobby so I expect the best that the administration could hope to do with its budget and included spending freezes is to save $25 billion per year and not touch defense.
So to help NASA and science in general, need to cut defense.
SpaceNinja says:
dansolo111,
Unfortunately, knocking on defense spending is political suicide for any member of Congress.
I can hear it now:
"You want America to lose to the terrorists?"
"You want China to have the most powerful military?"
"We need to be able to protect this country! Are you suggesting we stop that?"
"That is blatantly unpatriotic, taking the needed body armor and equipment from our troops on the frontline!"
22% is disgusting, but it will never go the other way. We are much more a military society than you realize.
BTW, for all the hate, I love the F-22….I'd rather build them than the F-35 (POS, for sure).
"NASA investment in the commercial spaceflight industry is a win-win decision,"
This is what I call management bullshit.
It sounds logical but does not mean anything.
Commercial spaceflight is only good for safe low earth orbit because that is where they can get money. They will only go to the moon if they can get profit, and you know what profit means to a private company? Look at Avatar. It will pollute the Moon and the rest of the solar system. They don't care about the science.
@Olaf
Kaizad says:
@ Olaf
That's sadly true, but trends and ethic can change.
Pollution is only a byproduct of our existence.
Work must be done (constantly) to make sure it doesn't pose too much of a hazard to the environment, both functionally and visually.
We have a long way to go before we become a clean species though.
In any case, I don't believe that should be a showstopper. The solution isn't to sit here on Earth worrying about trashing the solar system. I believe its to fundamentally correct our paradigm and trudge forward as a society.
Bravehart says:
I have read the comments and I'm dismayed.
Mr. Frazer has covered most of my sentiment.
However, most comments reflected an incredible lack of reality. I would expect a more intelectual comments from our readers? These are people that would like to live on a celestial body with no habitat that
support human live? But you bring your paycheck's to the same banks that also recieved your tax contributions? Who are you?
or What are you? The paycheck you will receive, if any, will have to pay for your dream
If the dream and is a unrealistic dream is that
important to you, please send all your life's earnings and future earnings to NASA and if
every American Citizen does the same, you will have your dream! Sell this to the CEO of the Bank of America. He maybe will support your dream? The money that every US citizen makes over the next 80 years will barely pay for the debt your in! If this does not compute
than the US of A will be a lost civilization!
The only conselation you have, is that your not alone you draged the whole world with you under, which are equally stupid!
Bill Samson says:
Where are the jet packs? We were promised jet packs! (Is that intellectual enough?)
GeorgeI says:
I'm not surprised that the Constellation program has been cancelled. With today's focus on safety and procedures it was always going to be a hard ask for a reprise of the Apollo program on steroids for a reasonable budget.
However, I am a bit surprised that the future plans are so vague. There does not appear to have been a plan B in anyone's locker.
As far as the manned space program, there seems to be a lack of clear vision and drive in determining just what NASA should be aiming for in. Maybe the next step is just too difficult or expensive but the lessons of a rather long history of cancelled projects does not appear to have been learnt well.
I hope that someone can provide the clarity of vision required to shape a meaningful exciting program that can inspire and excite NASA, the US Government and the public.
