Stephen G. Jurczyk is an American engineer who served as the Acting Administrator of NASA. He previously worked at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.

Education and career
Jurczyk is a graduate of the University of Virginia where he received Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1984 and 1986. He is an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Jurczyk began his NASA career in 1988 at Langley Research Center in the Electronic Systems Branch as a design, integration and testing engineer developing several space-based Earth remote sensing systems. From 2002 to 2004, Jurczyk was director of engineering, and from 2004 to 2006 he was director of research and technology at Langley where he led the organizations' contributions to a broad range of research, technology and engineering disciplines contributing to all NASA mission areas. From August 2006, Jurczyk served as Langley's Deputy Center Director. In May 2014, Jurczyk was appointed as Director at NASA's Langley Research Center. There, he headed NASA's first field Center, which plays a critical role in NASA's aeronautics research, exploration and science missions.

After Langley, Jurczyk was the associate administrator of the Space Technology Mission Directorate, since June 2015.  In this position he formulated and executed the agency's Space Technology programs, focusing on developing and demonstrating transformative technologies for human and robotic exploration of the solar system in partnership with industry and academia. In May 2018, Jurczyk became NASA's associate administrator, the agency's highest-ranking civil servant position.

He became acting NASA administrator following Jim Bridenstine's resignation on January 20, 2021.

He retired from NASA on May 14, 2021. He was replaced by astronaut and John F. Kennedy Space Center director Robert D. Cabana.

On August 25, 2021, emails surfaced on a hacking forum allegedly showing United Launch Alliance Vice President Robbie Sabathier being critical of NASA administrators. At the time the email was sent, the acting NASA Administrator position was filled by Steve Jurczyk. Among many statements made, Sabather stated, "NASA HQ's A-Suite leadership is currently incompetent and unpredictable". ULA has not commented on the authenticity of the emails but has stated it is "taking this alleged cyber crime seriously".

Honors and awards
Jurczyk received several awards during his NASA career, including two NASA Outstanding Leadership Medals, the Presidential Rank Award for Meritorious Executive in 2006, and the Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Executive in 2016—the highest honors attainable for federal government leadership.

9.31am EDT 09:31 And he's off!
Richard Wilkinson has a question about that other book about shades of grey. You know the one.
Shades Of Grey was published in 2009. Since then, the entire Fifty Shades Of Grey series has come and (perhaps not yet) gone. Are you annoyed by the similar title, or concerned that people are going to think the Shades Of Grey series is a Fifty Shades reference of some sort?
Fifty Shades of Grey was an interesting event for me. I thought of renaming SofG 'Forty Nine Fewer Shades of Grey' to try and exploit the market, but we thought not. Actually, there was a (very) minor lift in sales, although I'm not sure the 'accidental sales demographic' is one that is really worth exploiting.
Interestingly, the whole deal did highlight how wonderfully mischievous booksellers can be - and how much they care about their customers. I spoke to several booksellers who when asked 'May I have a copy of Shades of Grey?' and KNOWING they meant 50SofG, actually sold them my book on the premise that: A) It was what they asked for; B) They preferred mine; C) they were none too fond of 50SofG.
Jasper is open to suggestions on how to organise his socks.
It's a simple question. What are you doing web chatting? Get home and get writing! More Nursery Crimes, more Eyre, more Shades of grey & more Dragonslayer... please?
Thanks for some of the most interesting, intricate fiction ever. There are few authors that I await each new book impatiently... but I do yours.
The Thursday Next novels are my all-time favourites, which I regularly reread. Is there a possibility of a future story about Thursday's children? Also, would you ever consider revisiting the Nursery Crime series? Please!
I can understand why Shades of Grey took so long to write - it is a work of genius. Although the next ones in the series will probably also take a while, when can we expect them?
I like this book, but it has had disappointingly low sales - although things are picking up now. I'm planning on writing a sequel as the bokk after the book after the book I'm working on now, so maybe 2019. Sorry. I tried to clone myself, but all he did was argue and now I have to keep him in the basement.
Are you familiar with the 1980s role playing game Paranoia? It features a rainbow colour-coded society on a similar principle to the society in Shades of Grey, and I wondered if it was one of your influences.
No, never heard of it. Influences were: 1984, Brave New World, Flatland and Farrow and Ball colour chart, C. 2009. The thing about speculative fantasy is that no matter how bizarre you write and how original you think you might be, there is always something that is vaguely similar. Fantasy is a big genre.
If you could be one of your characters who would you be?
Oh, Landen, Thursday's Hubby, without a doubt. In the support trench of a wholly remarkable person. Failing that, Emperor Zhark. As God-Emperor of the universe, I could really sort out the UK education system.
Even when women write literature, it is rare, or unheard of, for them to write about women-specific issues such as menstrual periods; were you tempted, when writing your Thursday Next novels to try to write a more rounded woman, someone with cramps and tampons and more? Or did you think, as a male writer, that there was only so far you could go?
It's not a huge area of expertise of mine, I have to say. But there are many, many, well-rounded female characters who don't talk about cramps and such. It's a fascinating idea: A deleted scene from the original draft of Jane Eyre?
What led Mr. Rochester to dress as a gypsy woman?
You'd have to ask lottie to know for sure (lottie@planchette.com) but I think it was all part of Ed's rather odd sense of humour. He must have been very well disguised for no-one to notice. Whenever I dress up as a gypsy woman everyone twigs in an instant.
And we're live! Hello Jasper.
Hello everyone! I'm very happy to say that Jasper is online and ready to start answering questions.
On the subject of the questions, meanwhile, thank you. Many of them have been great. I knew Thursday Next would have good fans.
As the author of The Eyre Affair, Jasper Fforde is an ideal guest to discuss this month's Reading Group subject, Jane Eyre. Fforde's debut novel provides a fine commentary on Rochester and friends – and some quite brilliant explanations for some of the odder elements and coincidences in Brontë's plot. If you want an alternative theory about why Bertha died and how Rochester managed to get Jane to go and find him after the fire, this is the book to look at.
There is also much more to ask this prolific and talented writer at 1pm BST on 3 May. The Eyre Affair is only the first book of seven (so far) starring the literary detective Thursday Next, a series Fforde himself has described as "fantasy spread thick, deep, and silly". That's a pretty decent summary, except for the fact that it downplays how clever these books can be, and how many smart questions they raise about the way novels are put together and our own expectations when reading.
Reading a truly good book, the page opens like a trapdoor and you simply fall through. The Eyre Affair takes that feeling, the moment you lose the sense of yourself and become engrossed in the story, and creates high adventure and wild drama around the porous boundaries between fiction and real life.
Jasper Fforde is a good person to ask about the publishing process and making writing work. Not least because before he managed to amass over 70 rejection slips from publishers around the country, before the Eyre Affair was published. Since then his books have been received with great acclaim and success: his 2004 novel The Well of Lost Plots received the prestigious Wodehouse prize for comic fiction.
Jasper Fforde will be here from 1pm BST on 3 May. But please feel free to get your question in early by posting below.
To get the ball rolling, I'm also happy to say that we have three copies of The Eyre Affair to give away to the first three readers to post a "please may I have" along with a nice question for Jasper. If you're lucky enough to be one of the first to comment, email Laura Kemp with your address (laura.kemp@theguardian.com) – we can't track you down ourselves. Be nice to her, too.


This interesting heritage seems at how the lives of standard Dubliners have been stricken by those 3 significant occasions. Why did such a lot of working-class Dublin males sign up for the British military? How did the city's 92,000 Protestants fare during this turbulent time? Dubliners fought on each side within the Easter emerging. What have been their motivations? How did Sinn Féin and the Catholic Church marginalise Labour within the conflict for political keep an eye on of town after the emerging? Why did such a lot of Dubliners enjoy the British struggle attempt, particularly tenement households and dealing ladies? Pádraig Yeates discusses every one of those intimately and in addition appears at how the inhabitants fed itself in the course of demanding instances, the impression of the struggle on tune halls, baby cruelty, prostitution, public healthiness and lots more and plenty extra. The Dublin as we all know it used to be formed in those years. And this fascinating e-book takes you again to these occasions to polish a brand new gentle at the urban today.
In mid-sixteenth-century England, humans have been born into authority and accountability in keeping with their social prestige. hence elite childrens may designate estate or serve in Parliament, whereas teenagers of the poorer style may be compelled to signal exertions contracts or be hanged for arson or selecting wallet.
With 4 potteries, the Fife city of Kirkcaldy was once a huge manufacturer of pottery through the 19th and 20th centuries. Fife Pottery, Rosslyn Pottery and Sinclairtown Pottery have been all established within the Gallatown region of Kirkcaldy, whereas Kirkcaldy Pottery was once within the hyperlinks, all good clear of town centre.
Among 1640 and 1660 the British Isles witnessed an influence fight among king and parliament of a scale and depth by no means witnessed, both ahead of or on account that. even though usually characterized as a instantly struggle among royalists and parliamentarians, fresh scholarship has highlighted the complicated and fluid nature of the clash, exhibiting the way it used to be waged on various fronts, army, political, cultural and spiritual, at neighborhood, nationwide and foreign degrees.
Within the years 1849 and 1850, Henry Mayhew was once the metropolitan correspondent of the Morning Chronicle in its nationwide survey of labour and the bad. purely a few 3rd of his Morning Chronicle fabric was once integrated in his later and higher recognized, e-book, London Labour and the London terrible. First released in 1981, this sequence of six volumes constitutes Henry Mayhew's entire Morning Chronicle survey, within the series during which it was once initially written in 1849 and 1850.


Can writers theorize about writing without dying?
Or, is theory best left to philosophers leaving writing to the writers?
Ecrivants—who write about things and whose language is the means to an extra-linguistic end, to a meaning or reality which is, in a sense, 'beyond' the writing.
Ecrivains— who do not intend to take the reader beyond the writing but to call the attention of the reader to the activity of writing itself.
The ecrivain has 'nothing but writing itself, not as the "pure" form conceived by an aesthetic of art for art's sake, but, much more radically, as the only area for the one who writes'.
Thus, one might surmise that Flaubert, Zola and Ernest Hemingway are 'écrivants' and Proust, Joyce and Samuel Beckett are 'écrivains'.
Barthes's taxonomy here is closely connected with his distinction between the 'lisible' and 'scriptible' or the readerly/writerly.
Author (ecrivant) performs a function.

PDF Lessons in Stoicism A deeply comforting and enlightening book on how Stoicism can inspire us to lead more thoughtful lives
What aspects of your life do you really control? What do you do when you cannot guarantee that things will turn out in your favour? And what can Stoicism teach us about how to live together?
In the past few years, Stoicism has been making a comeback. But what exactly did the Stoics believe? InLessons in Stoicism, philosopher John Sellars weaves together the key ideas of the three great Roman Stoics — Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius — with snapshots of their fascinating lives, to show us how their ideas can help us today.
In vivid prose, Sellars shows how the works of these three Stoics have inspired readers ever since, speaking as they do to some of the perennial issues that face anyone trying to navigate their way through life. Their works, fundamentally, are about how to live — how to understand one's place in the world, how to cope when things don't go well, how to manage one's emotions and how to behave towards others.
Consoling and inspiring, Lessons in Stoicism is a deeply thoughtful guide to the philosophy of a valuable life.

Dance Central for the Kinect: Learning Tool or Humiliation Device?
Unless you've been living under a rock with no internet connection (and we personally know a couple of rock-based locations that have excellent coverage), you've probably heard of the Kinect.
For those of you sadly out of touch with modern-day realities, here are the basics: the Kinect is a motion-controller for the Xbox 360, similar to the Wii motion controllers, but when you use the Kinect: "you are the controller." We understand that there are many ways to take this statement, but in this case the situation is not what you'd expect; the device basically employs cameras that can pick up the movements of your whole body. Which means they haven't developed sentient artificial intelligence... yet.
Pretty neat, huh? It's especially awesome when it comes to dancing games, which up until this point have involved only the hands or only the feet, and have tried to extrapolate the rest of the body's movements from there... which leads to some pretty wild stuff from time to time. So should we see this as an achievement or a setback for humanity? Read on to find out!
Only looks a little like it can see into your very soul.
Before you run out to get a Kinect, there are a few things you should know about the device. For example, you need to have a fairly decent-sized area in front of your television in order to use it properly; the cameras won't even pick you up if you're closer than six feet. Several people have bought the Kinect in fits of joy, only to be crushed when they figured that the dimensions of their home rendered it useless. An interesting situation to have with a video game system, many of which were developed in part to entertain people without a lot of space to flail around in (i.e., the Japanese).
Also, when you first start playing, you'll realize that all the warnings about possible injuries are real. If you've spent your whole life glued to a sofa twitching your thumbs and watching a screen, you might not understand the potential for harm that comes when you start moving around in actual three-dimensional space instead of virtual space. You'll soon realize that your ceiling is a whole lot lower than you ever knew, and that lamp is closer than you expected.
How'd They Develop the Moves?
There's a magazine for commercial dance? We didn't know it was such big business!
After your first session with Dance Central, you'll realize that some serious thought has gone into arranging the dance moves. There's some decent choreography muscle (can we call it that?) behind the scenes, such as Marcos Aguirre who has danced hip-hop for fifteen years, and Francisca "Frenchy" Hernandez. We're not sure if the game development team knew what they were doing when they hired these two, who actually made the whole team get up and dance - if we assume that the average game developer is like an uber-gamer, this must have been quite a sight, and we're kind of sad we missed it.
People who look like this in real life are all over it!
The thing about Dance Central is, there are quite a few barriers to entry. First, you need an Xbox 360 and a decent TV. Then you need to get the Kinect, and make sure that you have enough room to use it. Only then can you even think about getting Dance Central. So that rules out a whole bunch of people, except for spoiled kids (including those attending college) with credit cards or access to parental bank accounts, and dedicated gamers.
And we don't think that the people buying this are your average American gamers. You have to have an interest in dancing, which, granted, has been stirred by games such as Dance Dance Revolution, and shows such as Dancing With The Stars and Live To Dance. Which tends to mean a negative correlation with your interest in Black Ops.
Will It Teach You To Dance Better?
Most likely not, if this is your idea of dancing.
Not saying that you can't learn if you don't have rhythm, but in our instant-gratification addicted society, you might not tough it out long enough to find out.
Will It Get You In Shape?
Regardless of whether or not you decide to pull out the "Double-Dip," the "Shush," or the "Breakdown" in places more public than your living room, you might wonder if you'll at least get some exercise out of the game.
The answer to this question is a solid yes! The Xbox 360 puts up warnings on-screen about taking a break if you feel sore or tired, and that warning is to be ignored at your own peril. Especially the first time, riding high on adrenaline, you won't realize how much you're actually moving. But you can get a more intense workout than you expect, especially seeing as how it's easy to play video games for hours on end.
Will You Be Permanently Injured?
There are definitely more dangerous things you could be doing with your life.
There is obviously a greater chance of getting injured with this than with other types of video games, but that goes without saying for any motion-controlled system. Movement opens you up for injury; that's just the way it is. But we think that the awesomeness of the game and the chance to stave off Overweight American syndrome for a few more years is totally worth it.
So what kinds of things should you look out for? Well, it's pretty obvious that you need to keep yourself aware of your surroundings despite the tunnel vision that games tend to induce. You won't have the same issues with bashing your friends in the face that are common in games such as Kinect Sports, but you still need to keep an eye out for furniture and walls. And as stated above, you actually end up using a lot more energy than you might expect. Don't be surprised if you end up more sore than that time you passed out in a bouncy castle for a few days after the first time you play; prevent this by taking frequent breaks.
Of course, showing off your abysmal dance skills in front of your buddies (and yes, no matter who you are, you're probably not as good a dancer as you think) can lead to noogies and wedgies that will plague you for years to come. To avert this, make sure that no one gets to watch you make a fool of yourself without having to try the game themselves.
Are There Real World Applications?
Dance Central graduating class of 2012?
So you've played the game, gotten a few decent scores, learned a bit about dancing terminology, and now you're ready to bring what you know into the real world. Is this a good idea?
Not really. After all, you don't generally get dates by bragging about your Call of Duty technique, so why should flailing around like a Dance Central avatar be any different? There are no do-overs in real life. Don't whip your moves out in the club or on a first date. Save them for when the object of your affection is firmly ensnared in your grasp. There's one caveat, though: having a Kinect at your disposal is a great way to lure someone back to your place for some "friendly gaming."
And hey, if the game gives you the confidence to join real-world dance classes and eventually become a world-class dancer, more power to you!
For a review of the game based more in fact and less on humor, why not check out Giant Bomb?

When I sit and read about the beauty and wit of your country, of the beaches, mountains, food and people, i know that I am missing out on a piece of the world that i long to understand better, more deeply, with insight and passion.
Your country of lovers, of people with ideas and motivations, of those longing for work, for importance, for reality, those longing for a piece of the pie, just a liver, is where I want to be. I want to be mixed into this slew of youth and oldness, of generations gone by, but of history and knowledge still present now, flowing through the products, through the families, through the lives and times of your fellow Italians.
But the beauty and the class is overshadowed by the mess and the corruption. You only have to look a bit deeper to see that things are not shiny and golden. But then, what is with the full restaurants, the bars still packed with gentlemen drinking coffee and reading the sports paper? Why are there so many tourist, so many gelatos being bought. The life of the Italians in hardship, in peril sometimes appears to be the life that we all wish that we could lead, one of drifting and idleness giving us the time to manage and improve our selves, our senses, our hobbies and crafts.
It's a mystery of a country, but one for me, that needs to reveal it's secrets, bit by bit. I need more time, more ability to explore it, understand it and become part of it's future.

I have just finished work on Maya2Lw V.1.02.
New in this version is a MEL script for importing OBJs into Maya. This script will keep the same point order as in the OBJ file. That way, you can now use your LW models directly for rendering! No more need to re-export the model back to Lightwave.
Check my webpage for further details and documentation.
Thank you very much for sharing this, markus. This will come in handy for a new project I'm creating.


Earth Day is around the corner. You know it is coming because every marketer tries to take advantage of this theme to get us to buy more stuff. Any green angle is pursued. We are forced to consider buying a plastic toy because it is encased in somewhat eco-friendly packaging.
At these times, it's easy to fall into greenwashing…believing in false (or deliberately unclear) claims about a products' greenness. Here are my recent picks for the worst in greenwashing this year.
What can moms do to help the earth? There are plenty of small and meaningful actions moms can take to lessen their impacts on the Earth. Together, these acts will conserve and preserve our precious resources such as protecting our air, water and land. Moms can show companies that they can be (and we expect them to be) better stewards of the earth.
Buy only what you need, and consider the impact of products you purchase. Ask yourself these questions: Was it made with sustainable materials? Does it speak to my values? Do I have something else I can use instead? Where will this item be 100 years from now? What effect does the purchase of this item have on the air, water, soil and health of local communities?
Think about the packaging of what you consume. The manufacturing of packaging releases harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Find and use brands that use as little packaging as possible.
Pass along your children's used clothing and gear. Give it away at a Salvation Army or Freecycle, resell it at a consignment store or on eBay or Craigslist. Most items can have a full second life!
Buy and use reusables, such as coffee mugs, water bottles, lunchboxes, sandwich and snack bags and containers. These small changes have a huge impact in reducing the amount of waste you generate in a year. The less waste in landfills, the cleaner the air, the local community around the landfill, and the waterways.
Paper: Use both sides, then recycle. Use scraps of nicer paper for art projects too.
Craft materials: Keep using items destined for the trash for found art (bottle caps, buttons, twist ties…) There are many ideas for "junk" crafts online, just take a look here.
Buying fewer items (especially disposable, limited use items) reduces air pollution, especially from the countless trucks shipping goods constantly from coast to coast.
Everything you can (bottles, waxed cardboard, glass, plastic bags). Find out where your nearest facilities are how to recycle pretty much anything at Earth911.
Food. Yes, food. Compost your kitchen scraps. You'll need some sort of compost bin— you can buy one or create your own. Once you have this set up the only trouble is actually remembering to bring out to the bin. After awhile the compost becomes lovely, useable, rich soil you can use in your garden.
Our media drenched society has us believing in consumption, eternal youth, and materialism are the secrets to happiness. Thinking about what makes you truly happy helps focus on what really matters to most of us: family, relationships, exploring nature…celebrate this Earth Day by spending time outside with your family. Away from screens, deadlines, smartphones, all of it. Feeling inspired? Join screen free week, April 30th-May 6th and see how much time you truly do have.
Rethink keeping your car running at school or daycare pick up and drop off times. Idling causes air harmful air pollution, especially in congested areas. Turn off your car if the wait is more than a few moments.
Other modern conveniences we need to rethink: fast food. We know that throw away packaging, factory farmed meat, and artificial additives are bad for us, increase global warming, and contribute to road side litter and the filling of landfills.
How you heat your home and how you use energy. Turn the heat down whenever you are at work, asleep, or on vacation. You can reduce carbon emissions and the burning of polluting fossil fuels. Use compact fluorescent bulbs instead of standard lightbulbs, and consider setting up your alliances on a timer to save energy.
How you use your car and your fuel economy. Carpool and use public transit when you can. Avoid excess weight in your car and take down racks when not in use. Drive more gently (avoid sudden braking and acceleration, and high speeds) to improve your fuel economy. You'll save a few bucks and put fewer pollutants into the air.
Moms are infinitely busy (as if I have to tell you that). We have more to do then we ever can accomplish. But this Earth Day pledge to react–speak out–about protecting the health of our children and the earth. Join Moms Clean Air Force for the health and welfare of America's families and the environment we inhabit together.
How will you take meaningful action to honor and celebrate the Earth?

Q: jquery redirect to another link when clicking a button I have two buttons: remove and update. Those buttons when they are clicked load to http://homepage/?removed_item=1 or http://homepage/cart.
So what I want is just to redirect to homepage.
Is that possible with jquery ?..
their classes are: .remove and .update
EDIT: after the button has been clicked and has done it's process, it will redirect

A: You can do something like that:
$(".remove").click(function() {
  window.location = "http://homepage/";
});

$(".update").click(function() {
  window.location = "http://homepage/";
});

A: UPDATED

event.preventDefault() : If this method is called, the default action of the event will not be triggered.

You should use JQuery method event.preventDefault() to prevent default href and then redirect to homepage.
HTML :
Update
Remove

JS :
$(".update, .remove").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.location.replace("http://homepage/");
});

If you want to redirect after finishing process, you have to use JQuery function $.get().
JS :
$(".update, .remove").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    $.get($(this).attr('href'),function(result){
        window.location.replace("http://homepage/");
    })
});

Hope this helps.

It hydrates your system, which your body needs. Dehydration is one of my triggers for headaches & migraines, so this reason is my #1, of course.
It increases your metabolism. Well, really #1 is responsible for that, but keeping your body hydrated helps ensure that your metabolism is at its best.
Helps you lose weight – combine #1 & 2 with the fact that water also helps flush the fat byproducts out of your body and you have a winning formula for weight loss, if you so desire. The key to keep in mind is balance, however – it's not a question of the more water you drink, the more weight you lose!
Clear, youthful & glowing skin. This is one of my favorite benefits too! Breakouts are a real pain & water helps keep them away.
Prevents kidney stones. Not an issue in my family nor really with vegetarians, but I've got friends that have this issue regularly.
What started as a fad adopted by a fringe group of new-age runners has become a worldwide phenomenon that is the hottest topic on running blogs everywhere.
These aren't my patterns, they are all someone else's design – just click the picture to go right to the Ravelry pattern page.
* Very nice scarf, I like it!
Gorgeous dish cloth, I quite like this pattern.
I so love colour work!
ZOMG! I seriously love this water bottle cozy! The downside is that the pattern seems difficult to find.

US Ambassador meets EESE students during visit to UoB
In February, as part of a visit to the city of Birmingham, Matthew W. Barzun, Ambassador of the United States of America to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, visited the University and took some time to meet with two EESE students to find out more about their participation in outreach work.
Electronic and Electrical Engineering students Tim Rudkin and Lucy Stephens.
Students Lucy Stephens and Tim Rudkin were invited to discuss their work with young people following the First LEGO League regional tournament, which EESE hosted at the University at the beginning of January. The event focused around school children and organisations demonstrating their science and technology skills to solve a range of problem based scenarios on the theme of natural disasters. With support from staff and students, teams presented a research project displaying prowess on designing, building and programming a robot, using LEGO, to clear-up and make people safe in the aftermath of an earthquake and tsunami.
Tim said: 'I was delighted to have the opportunity to highlight the hard work and dedication put in by some of the Engineering lecturers and staff of the University; to somebody as influential as Mathew Barzun. By organizing and running the First Lego League, they have gone above and beyond what is expected in order to promote Engineering and the University to the general public. It was a privilege to share this with the Ambassador.'
Matthew W. Barzun
Matthew W. Barzun was selected by President Barack Obama as National Finance Chair for the president's 2012 re-election campaign. He previously served as U.S. Ambassador to Sweden from 2009 to 2011. Ambassador Barzun is an internet pioneer who was the fourth employee at CNET Networks, where he worked from 1993-2004. Ambassador Barzun served in a number of roles at CNET, including Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy officer, and member of the executive committee. During his time there, he launched Download.Com, which grew to become CNET's biggest site and he led the effort to build one of the first comparison shopping sites on the Internet, Shopper.Com. He went on to co-lead all of CNET's online properties including CNET.Com and News.Com.

Plenty of 'heroes' stepped up for Penn-Trafford football in PIAA semifinal victory
By: Paul Schofield
Sunday, December 5, 2021 | 3:15 PM
Penn-Trafford's Jake Otto catches a pass over Exeter's Jacob Wolfe during their PIAA Class 5A state semifinal on Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, at Bald Eagle High School.
Penn-Trafford's Seth Dunlap returns an interception past Exeter's Carson Schmidt during their PIAA Class 5A state semifinal on Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, at Bald Eagle High School.
Exeter Township found out Friday there is more to the Penn-Trafford football team than the Cade and Carter Show.
Sure, running back Cade Yacamelli and quarterback Carter Green usually steal the headlines, but the dynamic duo had a lot of help in the Warriors' impressive 49-14 victory in the PIAA Class 5A semifinals at Bald Eagle Area's Alumni Stadium.
Penn-Trafford (12-2) advanced to its first state championship game at 7 p.m. Friday against Imhotep Charter at Hersheypark Stadium.
Numerous Warriors were able to put together highlight reels in the semifinals.
• Jacob Otto opened the game with a 73-yard kickoff return. He later had a key interception and caught two passes for 41 yards, including a clutch 11-yard grab on fourth down during the Warriors' first touchdown drive.
• Seth Dunlap had an interception and return for 48 yards to set up a field goal to end the first half and a 65-yard run on a fake punt that set up a touchdown in the third quarter.
• Conlan Greene caught a 5-yard touchdown pass to put the Warriors ahead 10-7. He also had two sacks and forced and recovered a fumble forced by Declan Ochendowski.
• Guards Garrett Moorhead and Luke Jollie were crucial to the run game and pass protection.
"Seth had a huge interception before halftime," Yacamelli said. "Conlan a big sack and stripped the ball and recovered it. Ian (Demari) scoring a touchdown. It's guys like that (who helped us win).
"Me and Carter get the credit, but there are heroes on this team that aren't talked about. Daniel Tarabrella had 18 tackles in the WPIAL championship game, arguably the biggest game of his career."
Yacamelli did his share in leading Penn-Trafford to victory. He rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns, caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown and intercepted a pass. Green completed 7 of 10 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns.
Otto said he was just doing his job.
"Any time you get a big kickoff return, it sets the tone of the game," Otto said. "On the pass play, my number was called, and it was time to make a play. On the interception, the ball was underthrown, and I just made the play.
"Cade and Carter do a lot, but, ultimately, it's a team sport. Yes, they are a huge part of the team. We all have to do our part."
Penn-Trafford coach John Ruane said just because Yacamelli and Greene have the ball in their hands the most doesn't mean they're the whole team.
"It's the way we run our offense," Ruane said. "There are a lot of working parts out there."
Prediction motivation
Don't think Penn-Trafford players haven't noticed when media publications predict them to lose in the playoffs.
Those predictions quickly go on the bulletin board. The Warriors say they like it when they're picked to lose.
"I love being the underdog," Yacamelli said. "Everybody counts us out every week, and we keep winning. Going into next week again and guess what? I feel we'll get the job done, God willing."
Huge following
A more than two-hour trip didn't stop Penn-Trafford fans from following the team to Wingate for the PIAA semifinal-round game.
The stands were full of Warriors fans, and Ruane acknowledged it after the game.
The fans showered the team with Hershey Kisses and candy bars after the game as they celebrated with them on the field.
As the team left the field, the band formed a tunnel and played while the players walked to their locker room.
Another large contingent is expected Friday night at Hersheypark Stadium. Tickets are available starting at 9 a.m. Monday at piaa.org.

Over a month earlier, T.B. Joshua had spoken forth a prophetic message regarding a strange event to occur at a place bearing the name, 'Fort'. "This message is not even for Nigeria, but a super nation," said the prophet during a live Sunday Service, alluding to the revelation about to be unveiled. "The name, 'Fort'. We should pray for that name," he continued. "It's a parable because I'm seeing a strange person carrying something." The pastor then demonstrated his hands cocked as if holding a gun. "We are praying for the whole world here". The service was broadcast live via Emmanuel TV.
On Thursday, November 5th 2009, a soldier carrying two handguns opened fire on fellow soldiers at the Fort Hood Army Base in Texas, USA, killing 13 people and wounding 30 in a tragic event that elicited shock and grief throughout the nation and beyond. The incident in Fort Hood, the largest active duty armored post in the world, stands as the deadliest ever on a military base on American soil. Arguments have run awry as to the motive of such massacre, the perpetrator being a fellow American soldier, Dr. Malik Nadal Hasan, a trained psychiatrist and major decorated with a number of prestigious military awards.

Hegemony or Survival - America's Quest For Global Dominance
We are entering a period of human history that may provide an answer to the question of whether it is better to be smart than stupid. The most hopeful prospect is that the question will not be answered: if it receives a definite answer, that answer can only be that humans were a kind of "biological error," using their allotted 100,000 years to destroy themselves and, in the process, much else.
The species has surely developed the capacity to do just that, and a hypothetical extraterrestrial observer might well conclude that humans have demonstrated that capacity throughout their history, dramatically in the past few hundred years, with an assault on the environment that sustains life, on the diversity of more complex organisms, and with cold and calculated savagery, on each other as well.
Honestly, although I consider myself a (fairly extreme) pro-environment left-liberal (if labels MUST be applied), I find this kind of pseudo-Darwinist screed tiresome at best. So what is the point? Human beings should accept that we are in the process of making ourselves go extinct because then the Earth will return doing what she does best -- restoring the balance to natural selection and letting its random process do the work of extinction instead? Big whoop.
I think it has cautionary value. But in the end, it's just one more voice in the fugue.

Broadens readers' understanding of the analysis and synthesis of continuous and sampled data control systems
Provides numerous examples that help readers to learn quickly
Includes a separate,related exercise book that provides Matlab/Simulink exercises for all topics discussed in the textbook, helping readers to understand the theory and apply it in order to solve control problems
Presents the newer paradigm of Youla parameterization control as a basic control structure and basic control algorithm
About this Textbook
This book offers fundamental information on the analysis and synthesis of continuous and sampled data control systems. It includes all the required preliminary materials (from mathematics, signals and systems) that are needed in order to understand control theory, so readers do not have to turn to other textbooks. Sampled data systems have recently gained increasing importance, as they provide the basis for the analysis and design of computer-controlled systems. Though the book mainly focuses on linear systems, input/output approaches and state space descriptions are also provided. Control structures such as feedback, feed forward, internal model control, state feedback control, and the Youla parameterization approach are discussed, while a closing section outlines advanced areas of control theory.
Though the book also contains selected examples, a related exercise book provides Matlab/Simulink exercises for all topics discussed in the textbook, helping readers to understand the theory and apply it in order to solve control problems. Thanks to this combination, readers will gain a basic grasp of systems and control, and be able to analyze and design continuous and discrete control systems.

The San Antonio Book Festival will host its largest group of authors yet during its fifth annual event on April 8.
Festival organizers announced the 2017 author lineup today, Feb. 9. It includes an array of local and regional authors—such as Carmen Tafolla and S.C. Gwynne—as well as best-selling national authors, including Ann Patchett, who's known for her Pen/Faulkner award-winning book Bel Canto and her most recent New York Times bestseller Commonwealth.
Panel topics will range from women's issues and immigration to how the West is written about in fiction novels. Authors included in the festival have delved into everything from Secret Service dogs (Maria Goodavage) to history (Alexandra Zapruder, who writes about JFK's assassination) and current events (Jessica Luther's book addressees the recent sexual assault scandal at Baylor while Lawrence Wright's The Terror Years delves into al-Qaeda and the Islamic State).
Multiple children's and youth authors also are scheduled to appear during the festival at the Central Library and Southwest School of Art. There will also be performances by the Magik Theatre plus family activities hosted by The DoSeum, San Antonio Museum of Art and others.
Like in years past, foodies are invited to a cooking demonstration tent outside. Look for demonstrations by cookbook authors Molly Gilbert (One Pan & Done), Jarod Neece and Mando Rayo (The Tacos of Texas) and others.
Mayor Ivy Taylor will also host a Mayor's Book Club session along with Jan Jarboe Russell, the author of the club's spring title, The Train to Crystal City: FDR's Secret Prisoner Exchange Program and America's Only Family Internment Camp During WWII.
Take a look at the full author lineup and get a look at the events planned alongside the festival here.
