Crimsix announces CDL retirement due to "generational gap"
CDLCrimsix
Dexerto
CoD's winningest player Ian 'Crimsix' Porter, is finally hanging up his hat after an illustrious 16-year run.
The writing was on the wall after not signing for a CDL team heading into Modern Warfare 2, and Crimsix confirmed his retirement from the CDL today. The CoD legend walks away with 38 major tournament wins, including three World Championships.
Crimsix was an integral part of the Complexity and Evil Geniuses Dynasty and a key figure in OpTic Gaming's historic run. He finishes his career as the game's highest-earning pro player, earning well over one million dollars in tournament winnings.
The reliable AR spent his final season with the New York Subliners for CoD Vanguard. After an extremely slow start, the team miraculously turned its season around and qualified for CoD Champs against all odds.
Crimsix announced he retired due to a "generational gap" and is shifting his focus to content creation moving forward.
With a fitting ode to The Undertaker, Crimsix helped NYSL rise from the dead and into CDL Champs.
Crimsix retires from CDL
Crimsix's final season left a lasting impact on the CoD community. He provided endless laughs during interviews and brought Brooklyn's Kings Theater to its feet during a magical Major IV Tournament run.
Porter made his announcement in a YouTube video
Crimsix cited that being 29 and playing with 18 and 19-year-olds made it a daily struggle, and the generational gap proved too much to handle.
"I can honestly say all my friends from the space and the scene no longer play. For the last five years, it's been a struggle of mine to just be able to communicate simple things, and ultimately I think that was my downfall, and I don't want to deal with it anymore."
Surprisingly, Crimsix said he didn't make an effort to try and join a CDL team during the offseason. He said his agent approached teams, but, "I was at the point if I get the offer I might play, but if I don't, thank god."
Crimsix spoke about the sacrifice required to be a pro player and regrets neglecting other responsibilities in his life.
"The level of sacrifice it takes to be a pro player is not discussed enough. Deep down I hope that I was the best Call of Duty player that has ever competed, but right now I'm looking at it like why the f**k did I do that."
For his future endeavors, Crimsix plans on competing in Warzone 2 and "fully committing to myself and the exact things I want to do," he said. Crimsix plans on doing a livestream on Twitch to further discuss his decision.
Crimsix speaks out on Call of Duty GOAT debate: "It's not that serious"

Iowa bowl projections: Hey, the Holiday Bowl has to take somebody, right?
Sean Keeler, Land of 10
At the start of each week, Land of 10 will break down the postseason implications, and projections, to come out of the Iowa Hawkeyes' latest contest …
What happened: Michigan State, Part II, only more painful. The Hawkeyes (4-3, 1-3 Big Ten) saw their old Central Street demons return to bite them, and at all the wrong times in the 17-10 overtime loss Saturday. Empty possessions. Missed field goals. No sync at line of scrimmage in the run game. Dropped passes. Timing issues with quarterback Nate Stanley and his receivers. Akrum Wadley, who ran wild in the Chicago suburbs two years ago, was snuffed by purple jersey after purple jersey (90 rushing yards on 26 carries), and Plan B never got off the runway.
What it means: These Hawks are just good enough to break your heart. With three league losses — all by a touchdown or less — on the ledger, a West division crown seems unlikely, even if it isn't mathematically off the table yet. Linebacker Josey Jewell and safety Brandon Snyder were missed in a contest where an enforcer to shadow mobile Wildcats quarterback Clayton Thorson (192 passing yards, 23 rushing yards) could've swung the game. A consistent run game and a powerful defense will serve you well on the road. Youth and inconsistency typically don't.
Projected record: Massey Ratings — 7-5; TeamRankings.com — 6-6

Projected postseason destination: Holiday Bowl, Dec. 28 in San Diego versus a Pac-12 opponent.
Cheapest seat on TicketCity.com as of Sunday: $52
Up next: Minnesota visits Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. If there's a silver lining after another gloomy trek to Evanston, it's that the middle of the Big Ten West is a mess, a mash of 6-6-ish squads. The Fighting Flecks are physical and can run the ball, but the Gophers' passing game is all over the map, which means the Goldy (4-3, 1-3) can most certainly be had. Matchups with the Gophs, Purdue (Nov. 18) and Nebraska (Nov. 24) look more than manageable, on paper. Then again, at this time last week, we were saying the same thing about Northwestern.

UFC 243: Whittaker vs. Adesanya


We were happy to represent Alicia Byrnes and she gave us permission to share her story. In January of this year, Alicia slapped the father of her children with an open hand in response to repeated threats of physical violence made to her and to her children. In an effort to gain the upper hand in their child custody dispute, the alleged victim in this case (who is a foot taller than her and weighs approximately 100 pounds more than she does) called law enforcement and had her arrested for domestic violence. In making the decision to arrest her, law enforcement failed to consider that she was acting in self defense. They also failed to consider a prior incident in 2013 where this same alleged victim had punched her repeatedly in the face leaving her with a black eye and other injuries. Without counsel, Alicia entered a no contest plea and easily completed the requirements of probation. Immediately after she completed these probation conditions, the same alleged victim again called law enforcement and accused Alicia of "touching his arm in an aggressive manner." She was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence. The 19th Circuit State Attorney's Office pursued felony charges and extended a plea offer which would have made Alicia a convicted felon and required her to serve jail time. Prior to these two allegations, Alicia had no interaction with the criminal justice system and was the primary caregiver for her 4 year old son and 7 year old daughter. The trial court refused to admit photographs of Alicia's injuries and a recording of the 911 tape which refuted the alleged victim's story.
A St. Lucie County Jury took 20 minutes to return a Not Guilty verdict. Jury trials and Jury service are the only protection we have against a system that is often indifferent and negligent. This case wasn't about the lawyers involved -it was about Alicia finally having the opportunity to be heard.


Last week the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA), the industry association for the U.S. primary healthcare distributors, published a letter from HDMA President and CEO John M. Gray to the FDA expressing concerns that not all members of the supply chain will be ready to exchange the transaction data mandated by the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) by the January 1 deadline.
Dr. Gray goes on to list the factors contributing to their concerns, including lack of communication or responsiveness by some supply chain members, vendor resources, inability to adequately test data exchanges between all trading partners and questions about the reliability of untested data exchange.
I encourage you to read the entire letter. It is an excellent and surprisingly direct expression of the issue that came to the surface during the Q&A portion of a presentation by Dr. Connie Jung, Acting Associate Director for Policy & Communications, Office of Drug Security, Integrity and Recalls, Office of Compliance, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the recent HDMA Traceability Seminar (see "Will The DSCSA Cause Drug Shortages After January 1?"). At that time Dr. Jung did not have a real answer. The topic was not raised on the FDA's Data Exchange Guidance webinar this afternoon. Will the FDA respond to the HDMA's latest appeal in time? Stay tuned!

So, there's a new model released from Privateer Press... allegedly. I'm seeing all sorts of people posting pics of their painting of it and his rules are in War Room... but I don't recall PP releasing info about him, he's not on their website and I can't google pics of his model.
It'll take a lot of work and I'm not sure if I'll sculpt on top of the bear or build a kodo for Bearka to ride, but I'm thinking of going full 9's... Kodo, armour, war drums, etc. Nooo idea when I'll do this. Really trying to focus on painting right now. Don't even own this (alleged) model yet.
So, just throwing out a bunch of ideas and grabbing some inspirational pics.
When I do get around to him, it'll be epic.

Lakhimpur: BJP beats note ban blues, targets Cong over graft in APSChttps://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/lakhimpur-bjp-beats-note-ban-blues-targets-cong-over-graft-in-apsc-4383330/
Lakhimpur: BJP beats note ban blues, targets Cong over graft in APSC
The bypoll was necessitated due to the resignation of then Union sports minister Sarbananda Sonowal, who opted to become an MLA and take over as the Chief Minister of Assam.
Written by Samudra Gupta Kashyap | Guwahati | Published: November 19, 2016 2:25:19 am
The opposition Congress in Assam failed to cash in on issues related to the Narendra Modi government's demonetisation move in the campaign for the Lakhimpur Lok Sabha bypoll slated for Saturday, with the ruling BJP focusing on the alleged cash-for-jobs scam in the Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) — the current members of which were appointed during the previous regime.
The Congress, which had initially raised the issue of price rise and the failure of the Modi and Sonowal governments in fulfilling campaign promises, could not counter the BJP's allegations that the APSC had become a jobs market under the patronage of the Congress regime.
The APSC has been in the news for the past two weeks after the police arrested a government officer for taking bribes allegedly on behalf of its chairman Rakesh Kumar Paul. Several others, including Paul, were arrested later.
Though the Congress did make an attempt to hit back at the BJP over the demonetisation and currency shortage issue, the BJP began comparing the Congress with the now obsolete Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes, with senior minister Himanta Biswa Sarma saying that people had discarded the Congress months before they returned the notes.

Hull City 1 – 3 Arsenal Highlights
On January 19, 2009 April 8, 2010 By jamesgillespIn Arsenal, Video
Hull City 1 – 3 Arsenal: Adebayor 30, Cousin 65, Nasri 82, Bendtner 86.
A strong Arsenal responded well against Hull City this weekend, as we saw the side go 1-0 up, only to concede a customary goal after half time. I always thought it looked likely we would concede, but what was good to see was the response.
With Bendtner and RVP playing well we took the initiative and instead of conceding again we defended well and RVP set Nasri up for the second and then Bendtner for the third to make it 3-1. Bendtner could have even added a fourth when his header hit the post.
Arsenal are putting a good run together at the moment, and if it continues then we will see a return in confidence. That away game was the first in a long time where we really took the game by the scruff of the neck and forced a result when it could havbe gone the way that the Villa game, and so many others went.
We need results like this, and the fact that Bendtner played well will only increase his effectiveness as confidence grows. RVP meanwhile is having his best ever season at Arsenal, and he will be key in the coming months.

Wenger tips Adebayor for successful 2009 ahead of trip to Hull City
On January 16, 2009 January 12, 2011 By jamesgillespIn Arsenal4 Comments
This is a guest post by sports writer Thomas Rooney
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor scored 30 goals in all competitions during a season where he looked like becoming one of the best forwards in the world. As we move into the second half of the current campaign though, Adebayor has only found the net 11 times.
As a result of this, some have questioned whether his goal scoring exploits were a one-off. Others have suggested that regardless of the amount of goals he has scored, Adebayor has quite simply not been the player he was last season.
Arsene Wenger is prepared to admit that Adebayor hasn't hit the heights he is capable of in recent months, but is confident that the striker is moving ever closer to his best form. The Arsenal boss says that the player is 'working very hard' to improve his game and the fact that his form has dropped a little is irrelevant because this 'happens sometimes'.
Wenger also highlighted the way Cristiano Ronaldo's goal scoring record this season has differed significantly to last time out. Ronaldo netted an incredible 44 goals last term, but has only netted nine times to date this season. Therefore, Adebayor is not alone in failing to be as good as last year.
The Arsenal man still has plenty of time to reach 20 goals this season though and that is a decent return. As Wenger says, it isn't always about the goals Adebayor scores anyway. Sometimes the way he 'contributes to the team' by assisting other players is equally as valuable as a goal.
This weekend sees Arsenal travel to Hull City in a match that Adebayor will be keen to find the back of the net in. It would certainly repay Wenger for publically backing him.
As for Arsenal's chances in the game itself, well it is a game they should win. However, we have been here before haven't we? Back in September, Hull travelled to the Emirates as significant underdogs, but managed to snatch all three points. It was a result that received much criticism and there is no doubt revenge should be on the Arsenal players minds this weekend.
One thing that needs to be mentioned is that Hull City were flying when they visited Arsenal in September. They were in the top three places in the Premier League and beating almost everyone they came across. This isn't the case anymore. In fact, they have only won once in their last 14 matches.
Therefore, their confidence won't be as high as it would have been in September. Arsenal need to capitalise on this by stamping their authority on the game from the beginning. In reality, Arsenal's superior ability should be enough to win the match, but if needed the motivation of revenge should ensure the three points. It won't be easy though!
In terms of team news, William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre will be unavailable for Wenger and Alexandra Song will face a late fitness test as Arsenal look to extend their seven match unbeaten run with a professional victory at the KC stadium.

Arsenal vs. Hull City – Injury Update, Wenger criticizes unlawful tackles
On September 26, 2008 September 4, 2010 By jamesgillespIn Arsenal2 Comments
The latest on the injuries ahead of the Hull game.
Gael Clichy has recovered from the bruised shin Kevin Davies inflicted upon him. He should start tomorrow. Wenger has criticised tackles with the intent to hurt opponents.
"It depends what you call a tough tackle,"
"A defender has to be tough and committed, for me if tough is committed I don't have a problem with it. If tough is the desire to hurt your opponent it's not acceptable because that's not the game.
"The beauty of sport is to win in respect of the rules. If us as managers start to say we don't have to respect the rules then it can't be accepted. That's in boxing, in football, in every sport. You have to respect the rules.
"It's like you play tennis and the ball goes out but you say because it's me it's still good."
This comes after Kevin Davies' tackle on Clichy at Bolton saw the Frenchman taken to hospital, and Pogatetz's rash tackle last night in action for Middlesbrough.
Phil Brown, the Hull City manager has defended Davies' tackle – he thougt there was nothing wrong with it, meaning we might be in for some 'in yer face' style play from Hull tomorrow.
Wenger hinted that Silvestre may get a chance against Hull in Friday's press conference.
"We have Silvestre in the squad for the first time but Nasri is not back, neither is Rosicky, Diaby or Eduardo." "Everybody else is available. Clichy is all right and he will play."
Expect Nasri and Diaby back sooner than Rosicky or Eduardo though.
Arsenal Injury Update: Rosicky, Eduardo plus Nasri, Diaby, Silvestre
On September 19, 2008 September 4, 2010 By jamesgillespIn Arsenal, Injuries
Here's the latest injury news at the Arse:
Tomas Rosicky may be playing matches by Christmas says Wenger.
Tomas has been out with hamstring problems since January, and had surgery in May. He was training and expected to return sooner, but according to the Czech international coach he had suffered some 'set-backs'.
Wenger told the press:
"The recovery process is slower than we expected at the start. It doesn't look worrying but the delay is longer than expected.
"He had a re-attached tendon that was loose in his hamstring, and that demands a lot of time to re-coordinate the movements of the hamstring. That makes it very difficult to predict exactly one week more or less how much time it will take.
"But I am optimistic that before Christmas you will see him in a good shape."
Rosicky said:
"Everything went well, according to the schedule. When I was running long distances, it [the hamstring] gave me no problems at all.
"But when I started on the ball and tried to change directions of running and changed pace, the knee reacted badly. So far it does not allow me to go on in the recovery so it has stopped my training for some time. I am not resting completely, though.
"I can lift weights and do other exercises. The knee simply must get down. It does not mean at all though that I have to end my career.
"Every such treatment can bring unexpected problems with it. That is what has happened now so my return will be delayed."
So it sounds like there are still problems, but nothing which can't be fixed. It would be great to see Rosicky get a good run of games and come into some form. He really adds a different dimesion to our game when he's on the pitch.
Also Wenger says Eduardo is a little ahead of schedule in his recovery, he sounded optimistic, so we may see Eddy back sooner than was expected!
Nasri, Diaby and Silvestre are all still out too, but we have no new injuries, Wenger commented:
"For Diaby, I would say two more weeks [until he is fit], Silvestre and Nasri should be available for Hull [at Emirates Stadium on September 27]."
So if all goes to plan we should have something resembling a full squad in within the next week. But no-one will be back for Bolton away tomorrow, expect a few players to be rested for that game.

Liverpool is a World Heritage Site. The city continues its battle between old and new, traditional and modern. This film explores plans for a Fourth Grace.
Liverpool is a World Heritage Site - something the people of Liverpool are very proud of. A city of cultural icons there is now a battle between the diverse styles - old and the new, traditional and modern.
This film on the Fourth Grace is presented by Lloyd Grossman, Liverpool's adopted son. Lloyd was influential in promoting the city to win the European Capital of Culture bid . He is, and has, been involved with numerous cultural boards there. He is passionate about Liverpool and is a highly regarded familiar figure on Merseyside as well as on TV.
You can see the full programme on BBC One at 10.35pm on Monday, 18 June, 2007.
I thought that it was rubbish, in fact a typical bbc nothing said programme.
Lots of missed opportunities of great photos like the met cathedral entrance.
Unfortunately, I never could stand listening to Loyd Grossman's accent, but quite enjoyed the programme.
Doesn't everybody know the Mersey Tunnel opened in 1934, not 1933!
I know yeah, 1933 was famous of course for Dixie Dean's Everton winning the F.A. Cup 3 - 0 against Man city at Wembley, the first time numbers were worn on the back - EFC were 1-11 making Dixie also Englands first No.9, City wore 12-22. They then paraded around the city on a horse drawn carriage with the cup to hundreds of thousands at St. George's plateau.
Liverpool in the foreign media thread has a good write up about us in Oz.
An 'ole called Wallasey' etc.

It was officially opened in July 1934, but now you've got me wondering when it was first opened to the public.
King George V opened it and he also opened Walton Hall Park and the new library in Birkenhead on the same day, so if either of those took longer to finish than the tunnel, Loyd Grossman could be right.
The digging was actually started in 1925.
What a fantastic resource this internet is.
The first bit seemed to be an exercise in how many times they could use the same shots of FACT and the Tea Factory and I was getting ready to throw things at the telly but it did turn into a less irritating and more interesting programme after that.
After watching the programme, who can argue that the b.b.c. isn,t dumbing down British t.v. specially in the regions.
The programme spoke about Manchester as a good example of regeneration, but anyone who visits the city, will discover a place that says YES to every developement, and the result- one of the ugliest citys in Europe.
Liverpool is so much more, shop if you want to, but the museums, art galleries, and just walking along the riverfront, are what makes our city the capital of the north.
Lloyd Grossman failled to point out that when Liverpool does develope, the result is some of the best architecture in Britain, and not the throw up that we see in London, for example.
Liverpool is the best example of a modern British city.
Did anyone hear windows xp sounds over the latter half of the programme; clicks and chimes? BBC Northwest production is terrible!
Thank God. Thought I was hearing things (again)... Ha ha. Rushed production or what?!
I thought my son was messing with our computer !! ha!
His name is Will Alsop and he is one of the worlds top and, most sought after, architects.
Or so he would like us to think!
Without Googling can anybody name a building he's famous for, apart from that awful 'cloud'?
I go along with you there Phil. Such a great architect would have had a plan for an interior design and usage. I think he was just looking for a guinea pig to try out a costly escalating, radical design but not on our World Heritage site please. I see no other city has jumped in saying they'll have it instead and that says more about it than anything else.

SUICIDE SQUAD: New Details on Jared Leto's Joker and Presence of a Certain Batman Villain
Arguably the most exciting addition to the cast of Suicide Squad is Jared Leto, who will play The Joker. Little is officially known about this take on the most iconic supervillain of all time. However, a new report has shed light on what to expect from the Oscar winner's portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime.
After revealing new info on the characters that the Suicide Squad will go up against in the upcoming DC movie, Latino-Review's El Mayimbe has now shared new details on what to expect from Jared Leto's take on The Joker. He reveals which particular storyline from the comics that this Joker is based on, as well as his interactions with other characters in the movie. One of these is a fan-favorite Batman villain who we previously didn't know was in this film.
[Warning: Below Are Some Potential SPOILERS From Suicide Squad.]
So, as you may have guessed, Leto's Joker is inspired by the one seen in The Dark Knight Returns. This makes sense, as the DC Cinematic Universe's Batman is also inspired by the iteration seen in Frank Miller's critically acclaimed graphic novel. This Joker is more muscular, lean, scarred and has broad shoulders. Again, this shouldn't be surprising, since Leto previously said he was bulking up for the role.
That's not the only Dark Knight Returns influence, however, as apparently, Joker will have already killed one of Batman's sidekicks. Jason Todd, perhaps? This and other crimes have inevitably placed Joker behind bars, and there is a scene where he works out in his cell while being interrogated by Amanda Waller. Joker also has bleached skin, rather than make-up.
Finally, in what he calls a "hot rumor," Mayimbe says that Joker will share plenty of screentime with none other than Hugo Strange, a character who has frequently gone up against Batman. In Suicide Squad, Dr. Strange is the psychiatrist at the prison (probably Belle Reve). However, Mayimbe has not heard anything about this character when it comes to casting. Strange apparently has several one-on-one interactions with Joker and Harley Quinn.
Some more interesting details here, that's for sure. Hopefully, Warner Bros. will officially announce casting for Strange and other characters as we get closer to Suicide Squad's start of production. Stay tuned for more as we have it.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit theaters August 5th, 2016. The third installment in the DC Cinematic Universe stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis and Jared Leto. David Ayer writes and directs.

Stories about the fictional planet Nibiru and predictions of doomsday in December 2012 have blossomed on the Internet. There are more than 300 books listed on Amazon.com dealing with the 2012 doomsday. "Ask an Astrobiologist" has received thousands of questions about Nibiru and 2012, with more than 500 answers posted. Following is a list of the most popular "Twenty Questions" organized in a logical succession and answered in some detail.
Wikipedia has several useful entries. Start with 2012 Phenomenon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon, Nibiru Collision, then look at Nibiru Mythology and Nibiru Sitchin. Also informative is the entry for 2012 doomsday predictions.
For a detailed description of the origin of the Planet X / Nibiru cult see the discussion by Phil Plait on his Badastronomy website: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/.
The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. Zecharia Sitchin, who wrote fiction about the ancient Mesopotamian civilization of Sumer, claimed in several books (e.g., "The Twelfth Planet", published in 1976) that he had found and translated Sumerian documents that identify the planet Nibiru, orbiting the Sun every 3600 years. These Sumerian fables include stories of "ancient astronauts" visiting Earth from a civilization of aliens called the Anunnaki http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/. Sitchin suggested a return of Nibiru and the Anunnaki sometime this century. Then Nancy Lieder, a self-declared psychic who claims she is channeling aliens, wrote on her website Zetatalk that the inhabitants of a fictional planet around the star Zeta Reticuli warned her that the Earth was in danger from Planet X or Nibiru http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of the Mayan calendar long-count at the winter solstice in 2012 – hence the predicted doomsday date on December 21, 2012.
Nibiru is a name in Babylonian astrology sometimes associated with the god Marduk. Nibiru appears as a minor character in the Babylonian creation poem Enuma Elish as recorded in the library of Assurbanipal, King of Assyria (668-627 BCE). Sumer flourished much earlier, from about the 23rd century to the 17th century BCE. The claims that Nibiru is a planet and was known to the Sumerians are contradicted by scholars who (unlike Zecharia Sitchin) actually study and translate the written records of ancient Mesopotamia. Sumer was indeed a great civilization, important for the development of agriculture, water management, urban life, and especially writing. However, they left very few records dealing with astronomy. Certainly they did not know about the existence of Uranus, Neptune or Pluto. They also had no understanding that the planets orbited the Sun, an idea that first developed in ancient Greece two millennia after the end of Sumer. Claims that Sumerians had a sophisticated astronomy, or that they had a planet named Nibiru, are the product of Sitchin's imagination.
IRAS (the NASA Infrared Astronomy Satellite, which carried out a sky survey for 10 months in 1983) discovered many infrared sources, but none of them was Nibiru or Planet X or any other objects in the outer solar system spider.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/tchester/iras/no_tenth_planet_yet.html. Briefly, IRAS cataloged 350,000 infrared sources, and initially many of these sources were unidentified (which was the point, of course, of making such a survey). All of these observations have been followed up by subsequent studies with more powerful instruments both on the ground and in space. The rumor about a "tenth planet" erupted in 1984 after a scientific paper was published in Astrophysical Journal Letters titled "Unidentified point sources in the IRAS minisurvey", which discussed several infrared sources with "no counterparts". But these "mystery objects" were subsequently found to be distant galaxies (except one, which was a wisp of "infrared cirrus"), as published in 1987. No IRAS source has ever turned out to be a planet. A good discussion of this whole issue is to be found on Phil Plait's website www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/planetx/science.html#iras. The bottom line is that NASA astronomers never discovered or announced a planet. To an astronomer, persistent claims about a planet that is "nearby" but "invisible" are just plain silly.
4. Maybe we should be asking about Planet X or Eris, not Nibiru. And what about the giant planet Tyche?
"Planet X" is an oxymoron when applied to a real object. The term has been used by astronomers over the past century for a possible or suspected object. Once the object is found, it is given a real name, as was done with Pluto and Eris, both of which were at some time referred to as Planet X. If a new object turns out to be not real, or not a planet, then you won't hear about it again. If it is real, it is not called Planet X. Eris is one of several dwarf planets in the outer solar system, found by astronomers using conventional ground-based telescopes. All of the dwarf planets are on orbits that will never bring them near Earth. Like Pluto, Eris is smaller than our Moon. It is very far away, and its orbit never brings it within 4 billion miles. Tyche, in contrast, is supposed to be a giant planet (with several times the mass of Jupiter) in the far outer solar system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyche_). It was suggested in 1999 from an analysis of the orbits of comets. It has never been seen or detected, and most astronomers do not believe it exists. It if were real, even at a very great distance from the Sun, it should have been picked up in recent infrared sky surveys such as WISE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-field_Infrared_Survey_Explorer. Even if such an object exists, it can have no effect on the planets or their orbits.
5. Do you deny that built a South Pole Telescope to track Nibiru? Why else would they build a telescope at the South Pole? And wasn't built as part of a defense against Nibiru?
There is a telescope at the South Pole, but it was not built by NASA and is not used to study Nibiru. The South Pole Telescope was supported by the National Science Foundation, and it is a radio telescope, not an optical instrument. It cannot take images or photos. You can look it up on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pole_Telescope. The Antarctic is a great place for astronomical infrared and short-wave-radio observations, and it also has the advantage that objects can be observed continuously without the interference of the day-night cycle. I should add that it is impossible to imagine a geometry in which an object can be seen only from the South Pole. Even if it were due south of the Earth, it could be seen from the entire southern hemisphere. As to HAARP, that is a favorite subject on conspiracy theory websites. HAARP is an upper atmosphere research instrument operated by the University of Alaska and primarily funded by the U.S. Defense Department http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program. The woo-woo crowd seems to think it was built to cause earthquakes. It has nothing to do with Nibiru or 2012.
Many of the photos and videos on the Internet that were taken two or three years ago were of some feature near the Sun (apparently supporting the claim that Nibiru was hiding behind the Sun). These are actually false images of the Sun caused by internal reflections in the lens, often called lens flare. You can identify them easily by the fact that they appear diametrically opposite the real solar image, as if reflected across the center of the image. This is especially obvious in videos, where as the camera moves, the false image dances about always exactly opposite the real image. Similar lens flare is a source of many UFO photos taken at night with strong light sources such as streetlights in the frame. I am surprised that people don't recognize this common photo artifact. There are also photos showing something nearly as large and bright as the Sun (a "second sun"). This is a crazy idea; if there were a second sun every one could see it (and we would be getting very hot!). It amazes me that people will go on at great length about a second sun without stepping outside and looking for themselves. If you can't see it yourself with your own eyes, it doesn't exist!
One widely reported telescopic photo www.greatdreams.com/nibiru-possible.jpg shows two views of an expanding gas cloud far beyond the solar system, which is not moving; you can see this from the fact that the stars are the same in both pictures. A sharp-eyed reader of this website identified these photos as a light shell around the star V838 Mon. Wikipedia has a nice write-up and a beautiful photo of it from Hubble http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V838_Monocerotis. Another high school student was initially impressed by posted images of a red blob that were said to be of Nibiru, until he found that he could easily duplicate the photo using Photoshop. Other people see the bright planets Venus and Jupiter in the sky and think they are Nibiru. Do they think they have discovered something new that no one else is seeing? There are more than 100,000 amateur astronomers from all over the world. They are constantly watching the sky, and not one of them has reported seeing Nibiru or any other rogue object.
Several people have asked me about this blank rectangle in Orion in Google Sky, or another similar blank in Virgo http://www.2012hoax.org/google-sky. Google Sky and other Internet maps are compilations of astronomical photos of the sky. Many of them are photos taken more than 50 years ago in the Palomar Sky Survey; others are more recent from the Sloan Digital Survey. The problem is that many people think Google sky is a live view of the sky today. They write to me about searching Google Sky for Nibiru or other rogue objects, but even if these were real they would not be visible in these old data. The entire premise that Google Sky can be used to find images of Nibiru, or that blanks indicate that the authorities are hiding important images of Nibiru, is wrong.
There are many objectives of government, but they do not include keeping the population at ease. My experience is that sometimes parts of the government do just the opposite, as in the frequent references to various terrorist threats or warnings about driving accidents on long holiday weekends, which are no more dangerous than any other time. There is a long history of associating bad things with political opponents (older readers will remember the "missile gap" in the 1960 election, younger ones will note the many current references to who is or is not keeping the U.S. safe from terrorists). Further, social scientists have pointed out that many of our concepts of public panic are the product of Hollywood, while in the real world people have a good record of helping each other in a time of danger. I think everyone also recognizes that keeping bad news secret usually backfires, making the issue even worse when the facts finally come out. In the case of Nibiru, these facts would have come out years ago, if it were real.
If Nibiru were real, it would be tracked by thousands of astronomers, amateurs as well a professional. These astronomers are spread all over the world. I know the astronomy community, and these scientists would not keep a secret even if ordered to. It is also worth remembering that most astronomers in the U.S. work for universities, and that academic organizations, not the government, run most of the big telescopes. Even the Hubble Space Telescope is operated by a consortium of universities. NASA and the government get most of their information from these outside astronomers, not the other way around.
Calendars exist for keeping track of the passage of time, not for predicting the future. The Mayan astronomers were clever, and they developed a very complex calendar. Ancient calendars are interesting to historians, but they cannot match the ability we have today to keep track of time, or the precision of the calendars currently in use. The main point, however, is that calendars, whether contemporary or ancient, cannot predict the future of our planet or warn of things to happen on a specific date such as 2012. To further complicate matters, scholars do not agree on when the Mayan calendar long-count turns over. There is no agreed-upon synchronization between the Mayan calendar and ours, which was imported much later from Europe. This supposedly key date in the Mayan calendar may have already happened, or it may lie decades in the future.
A reversal in the rotation of Earth is impossible. It has never happened and never will. There are slow movements of the continents (for example Antarctica was near the equator hundreds of millions of years ago), but that is irrelevant to claims of reversal of the rotational poles. However, many of the disaster websites pull a bait-and-shift to fool people. They claim a relationship between the rotation and the magnetic polarity of Earth, which does change irregularly with a magnetic reversal taking place every 400,000 years on average. As far as we know, such a magnetic reversal doesn't cause any harm to life on Earth. A magnetic reversal is unlikely to happen in the next few millennia, anyway. But they falsely claim that a magnetic reversal is coming in 2012 and that this is the same as, or will trigger, a reversal of rotational poles. The bottom line is: (a) Rotation direction and magnetic polarity are not related. (b) There is no reason to expect a reversal of magnetic polarity any time soon, or to anticipate any bad effects on life when it does eventually happen. © A sudden shift in rotational pole with disastrous consequences is impossible. Also, none of this has anything to do with the galactic equator or any of the other nonsense about alignments that appears on many of the conspiracy theory websites.
There is no planet alignment in 2012 or any other time in the next several years. In fact, in late 2012 the planets are scattered all over the sky! As to the Earth being in the center of the Milky Way, I don't know what this phrase means. If you are referring to the Milky Way Galaxy, we are rather far toward the edge of this spiral galaxy, some 30,000 light years from the center. We circle the galactic center in a period of 225-250 million years, always keeping approximately the same distance. Concerning a pole shift, I also don't know what this means. If it means some sudden change in the position of the rotation axis of the Earth, then that is impossible, as noted in the answer to Question 10. What many websites do discuss is the alignment of the Earth and Sun with the center of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sagittarius. This happens every December, with no bad consequences, and there is no reason to expect 2012 to be different from any other year.
12. When the Sun and the Earth line up on the galactic plane at the same time with the black hole being in the center couldn't that cause something to happen, due to the fact that the black hole has such a strong gravitational pull.
There is a widespread misunderstanding about the gravitational influence of another object on the Earth or other planets, whether it is a distant black hole or a nearby rogue planet. One sees claims often that some object, like Nibiru or Comet Elenin, will cause a pole shift or trigger earthquakes, but that is not the way it works. The only effect of an external gravitational pull is to change the orbits of planets. If there were a massive intruder like Nibiru, it would be altering the orbits of the Earth and other planets, something astronomers would measure immediately. What it won't do is shift the rotational pole or cause earthquakes or other geological events.
13. I have heard that the Earth's magnetic field will flip in 2012 just when the strongest level of solar storms in history is predicted to take place. Will this kill us or destroy our civilization?
Near solar maximum (which happens every 11 years approximately), there are many more sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections than near solar minimum. Flares and mass ejections are no danger for humans or other life on Earth. They could endanger astronauts in deep space or on the Moon, and this is something that NASA must learn to deal with, but it is not a problem for you or me. Large outbursts can interrupt radio transmission, cause bright displays of the aurora (Northern and Southern Lights), and damage the electronics of some satellites in space. Today many satellites are designed to protect against this possibility, for example by switching off some of their more delicate circuits and going into a "safe" mode for a few hours. In extreme cases solar activity can also disrupt electrical transmissions on the ground, possibly leading to electrical blackouts, but this is rare.
The last solar maximum occurred in 2001, but the subsequent solar minimum was unusual, with a period of a couple of years with almost no sunspots or other solar activity. Scientists now guess that the next maximum will in 2013 not 2012. However, the details of the solar cycle remain basically unpredictable.
14. I am confused about a report on the Fox News website that in 2012 a "Powerful Solar Storm Could Shut Down U.S. for Months". They referred to a report from the National Academy of Sciences. If nothing is going to happen as a result of the event in 2012, why would allow such nonsense to be reported?
NASA requested this study of heliophysics by the National Research Council. It had nothing to do with 2012. As you note, this report includes a worst-case analysis of what could happen if there were a repetition of the biggest solar storm ever recorded (in 1859). The problem is the way such information can be used out of context. There is no reason to expect such a large solar storm in the near future, certainly not in 2012 specifically. Your reference to "the event in 2012" illustrates this problem. There is no prediction of an "event in 2012". We don't even expect the next solar maximum will take place in that year. The whole 2012 disaster scenario is a hoax, partly fueled by the Hollywood science-fiction disaster film "2012", in which the Earth is nearly destroyed as the result of some sort of undefined solar outburst. I hope that most people are able to distinguish Hollywood film plots from reality. And as a matter of interest, the film "2012" was conceived and written without any reference to the 2012 date. The name was added later to take advantage of growing public concern about this year.
15. All my school friends are telling me that we are all going to die in the year 2012 due to a meteor hitting earth. Is this true?
Your friends are wrong. The Earth has always been subject to impacts by comets and asteroids, although big hits are very rare. The last big impact was 65 million years ago, and that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. We have already determined that there are no threatening asteroids as large as the one that killed the dinosaurs. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA NEO Program Office website http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012.
16. There are many reports of shifts in the Earth's axis (pole shifts). In 2010 several U.S. airports had to be realigned because the directions had shifted. The sun appeared two days early in Greenland this year, and many people say the positions of sunrise and sunset are different from any time it the paste. Fox news recently reported that a pole shift was to blame for the geese flying east. Are these warnings of coming disaster in 2012?
When people make claims about pole shifts, you need to ask if they are talking about the rotational pole or the magnetic pole. The directions North and South (and also East and West) are defined by the rotation of the Earth. The North Pole on Earth is the projection of the axis around which the Earth rotates, and east is defined as the direction toward which the earth rotates. All this was known before Earth's magnetic field was discovered or magnetic compasses were invented. The magnetic poles are not in the same place as the rotational poles, and they move around on the surface. A compass therefore does not point to true north. This drifting of the magnetic poles required the renaming (not the reorientation) of several runways at small airports that still use magnetic headings. If the magnetic poles moved a large amount, or even if the magnetic field reversed, we would have to recalibrate the directions on our magnetic compasses, but everything else would stay the same. GPS systems would not be affected. The Sun would still rise in the same place in the East.
The other stories deal with the rotation axis, which is very stable. The supposed early sunrise in Greenland and many other claims that the Sun is rising or setting in different locations are rampant on the Internet. Think about it. If there were any shift in the Earth's rotational axis, it would be instantly detected. All the computer drives on telescopes around the world, and all of our GPS systems, depend on a stable rotation of the Earth. If it slipped even a tiny amount, telescopes wouldn't be able to point, planes would be crashing because of incorrect GPS readings, and it would be the biggest news story of the century. These claims on obscure Internet sites are obviously wrong.
17. Comet Elenin was widely believed to be a threat when it passed by in September-October 2011. Some people on the Internet said it was on the same orbit as Nibiru, or that Nibiru was moving with it or hidden behind it. What happened to Comet Elenin?
Comet Elenin attracted a great deal of attention from pseudo-scientists and conspiracy theorists. Discovered in December 2010, it was a small long-period comet, less than 4 km in diameter, that fell apart when it got close to the Sun. Yet during the months leading up to perihelion, the attention of many of the true believers in doomsday 2012 shifted their attention to this little comet, claiming that it endangered the Earth. The first crazy rumor was that it was not really discovered by Russian astronomer Leonid Elenin. but that the name Elenin stood for ELE=Extinction Level Event and NIN=Nibiru Is Near. Then websites announced that it triggered the giant Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March, and therefore it must be extremely massive – perhaps not a comet at all but something like a brown dwarf. Of course, scientists knew Elenin was a comet and not a massive object like a brown dwarf. First, Elenin fits the definition of a comet: It was a solar system object with an elongated (eccentric) orbit that was outgassing a tenuous atmosphere (coma) and tail as it approached the Sun. Comets are defined operationally by the presence of the visible coma and tail. Second, Elenin could not possibly be a massive object like a brown dwarf. If it were, it would not have a coma or tail, since the gas cannot escape from an object with substantial gravity. In addition, if it were massive we would by then have experienced its gravitational influence on the orbits of the planets, especially Mars and Earth (See Question 12). Finally, if it were a brown dwarf it would have been easily detected in various previous astronomical surveys, even when it was still in the far outer solar system.
During the summer of 2011, Elenin remained faint, and conspiracy websites accused NASA of a cover-up (not knowing, apparently, that it is the amateur astronomy community, not NASA, who photograph faint comets and measure their positions). Meanwhile, it was widely predicted on the Internet that Elenin would do terrible damage to the Earth when it came close in late September. (The fact is that it never came closer than a hundred times the distance to the Moon.) The usual claims were made about triggering pole shifts and huge earthquakes, this time predicted for September 26. In addition, it was claimed on many Internet sites that the comet was so large that it would block out the Sun for the three days of September 26, 27, and 28, 2011. They also said that the U.S. Military would be on full alert and that all the U.S. government leaders would be taking shelter in the (fictional) bunkers under the Denver airport. In fact, Elenin was so small that it had begun to break apart by mid-September, as it neared the Sun, and of course nothing happened on September 26-27-28. Some conspiracy sites continued to claim that the comet was accompanied by a giant invisible object and that these disasters could happen any day. Others said the comet never existed but was a false rumor spread by the government to distract attention from Nibiru. This may be a preview of what we can expect in December 2012, when many conspiracy nuts will likely continue to claim that Nibiru will destroy the Earth right up to (or beyond) December 21.
18. If Nibiru is not real, then why are all these terrible things happening in 2012? There must be some explanation for the earthquakes, floods, storms, solar outbursts, and rising temperatures our planet is experiencing.
Over the four years that I have been answering questions on this topic, each of the predicted 2012 disasters has been shown to be wrong. Nibiru (or any other rogue planet) obviously does not exist, since if it were real we could see it and feel the effects of its gravity. You could not hide it from the more than 10,000 professional and 100,000 amateur astronomers. And there will be no planet alignment in 2012 — that is a plain lie. The Earth's magnetic flied is not headed for a reversal, while large shifts in the rotational pole are impossible. Solar activity is below normal, and the next solar maximum will not happen until 2013. Although we had one exceptionally large earthquake in Japan this year, overall there has been no increase in earthquakes worldwide. It is interesting how many people who write to me don't seem to realize that astronomers and space scientists and geologists are constantly monitoring and recording what happens to the Earth, and any deviation would be immediately detected. The one real change is global warming, as is well documented by science. That helps explain the increase in storms and floods. And we know the cause, which is the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. All we are left with for 2012 is a vague concern about the roll-over in the Mayan calendar, and scholars can't even agree on what year that happens. Doomsday is not real, but people's fear promoted by countless websites and YouTube videos is unfortunately very real, and especially harmful for children.
19. Can you prove to me that Nibiru is a hoax? There are so many reports that something terrible will happen in 2012. I need proof because the government and are keeping so much from us.
Yes I can prove it. Remember what Nibiru is said to be: a planet as large as the Earth on an eccentric 3600-year orbit around the Sun that threatens to collide or come close to the Earth in December 2012. If it existed, it would by now (early 2012) be visible to everyone in the night sky. Obviously it is not there. You can't hide a planet that is due here in less than a year. Further, a real planet would have sufficient mass to perturb the orbits of Mars and the Earth. Some people talk about an external object changing the tilt of the Earth's axis or triggering earthquakes, which is silly, but its gravity would be distorting planetary orbits if it were real. One way we would know this is from the daily communication links between the Earth and several spacecraft orbiting Mars and operating on its surface. The radio signals measure the precise distance and relative speed between the two planets, and any deviation would be immediately recognized. Finally, we also know that no planet has been regularly passing thorough the inner solar system. It there had been such interlopers, the Moon would have been stripped from the Earth and the orbits of the inner planets would have high eccentricity and inclination. Not only does Nibiru not exist now, we can be sure that no rogue planets have been entering the inner solar system over the past million years.
20. If Nibiru is a hoax, why doesn't issue a denial? How can you permit these lies to circulate and frighten people? Why doesn't the U.S. government do something about it!
If you go to the NASA home page, nasa.gov, you will see many stories that expose the Nibiru-2012 hoax. Try searching nasa.gov under "Nibiru" or "2012". There is not much more that NASA can do. These hoaxes have nothing to do with NASA and are not based on NASA data, so we as an agency are not directly involved. But scientists, both within NASA and outside, recognize that this hoax with its effort to frighten people is a distraction from more important science concerns, such as global warming and loss of biological diversity. We worry about the effect of this fear on impressionable children. But we live in a country where there is freedom of speech, and that includes freedom to lie. You should be glad there are no censors. But if you will just use common sense I am sure you can recognize the lies. You can find a good summary of the scientific position on 2012 doomsday at http://2012hoax.org.


Now there are lots of arguments that you can use to state your case (like the ones listed on this article) but courts view "tax protestor circumstances" as a waste of their time and even tremendous you for doing such.

No normal institution can work without algorithm known as Law that guides the establishment. When I boil it all down, what I see is the Soveriegn people basically need to separate from the United States and type their very own country, so to talk, much like the South did back within the 1800s.
In line with dualistic idea international law and municipal law are separate and self contained to the extent to which guidelines of one are not expressly tacitly received into the other system.

Q: How to perform a update that won't lock other queries? There is a potentially large update statement that changes a boolean flag and timestamp column on a table.
This operation may update a few thousand rows in a table that might have a few million rows.
The update operation shouldn't lock the table, and I am willing totally fine if other queries that might be running at the same time get stale data.
The goal is to perform the update statement in a way that won't effect other read operations (or even updates if that is possible).
In this situation, it is fine if read operations get incorrect values for the boolean flag and timestamp column while the update statement is processing.
Does postgresql have any query optimizations for an update statement that I can use given the above loose requirements?

A: As @a_horse_with_no_name notes, an UPDATE (or INSERT or DELETE) doesn't prevent concurrent SELECTs in PostgreSQL, unless those SELECTs do explicit row locking with FOR UPDATE or FOR SHARE.
So you can continue to SELECT from the table while the update runs. The SELECT will just see the old values.
Any UPDATEs or DELETEs that affect the rows already being UPDATEd will be blocked on a row lock until the prior UPDATE completes. However, there's a wrinkle with update ordering here.
If your big update is scanning the table in order, updating each row as it goes, and then you do another small UPDATE that scans the table in some other order to choose rows to update, you can land up with a deadlock. The big update might have locked the row with id=1000, and be trying to lock the row with id=1001. But your newer small update already has a lock on id=1001 and is trying to obtain a lock on id=1000. Neither can ever get the lock they want, so they're stuck. PostgreSQL detects this and aborts one of the statements with a deadlock detection error. There is no guarantee which statement will be aborted.
To mitigate this, I recommend breaking your big UPDATE into a series of small UPDATEs if possible, each over a range of values. That'll also reduce the amount of extra workspace the database must allocate in the table to store the new versions of the rows until the update finishes and it can clean out the old ones.
I expect MySQL+InnoDB to behave similarly. MySQL+MyISAM will just lock the table when you do the UPDATE, but you shouldn't be using MyISAM anyway.

Mark's Henderson
C.K.'s 1919 Trip
About Mark's 2019 Trip

Tracking in 2022
Born on August 22, 1957 in Providence, Rhode Island, Mark Leslie Hunnibell is the second of four children of Kenneth Lee Hunnibell and Carol Linda Dutra. Both Kenneth and Carol had been students at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), as had many in Mark's extended family. Shortly after Mark was born, his father bought and then moved the family to an old farm homestead (originally built in 1786) in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. When Mark was about six years old, his parents divorced and he moved with his mother and three sisters to a home in a subdivision about forty-five miles north of the old farm homestead. Six years later, they moved to Kensington, California—a small community just north of Berkeley. Mark attended junior and senior high schools in Richmond, California, where he graduated in June 1975. Two months later, he flew back to live with his father in Rehoboth while continuing the family legacy at RISD in Providence, Rhode Island.
Although Mark frequently demonstrated his creative abilities in studies at RISD, he spent more time with extra-curricular activities and, when it came time for him to graduate in June 1979, he was nine credits short to receive his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design. Intent on moving back to California, Mark drove across the country in the summer of 1979. He remedied his credit shortfall by taking a full semester of journalism and psychology classes at the University of California, Berkeley, and had the credits transferred back to RISD. After completing his coursework at Cal Berkeley, he took a job as an automotive machinist in Albany, California. While there, he began work on the 1919 Henderson motorcycle "basket case" that his father had given to him a couple years earlier, disassembling it and beginning to repair the engine.
In September 1980, finally motivated to put his RISD degree to use, Mark and Geoff, his friend from RISD, drove across the country from California to the east coast. Geoff was taking a new position in Washington, DC. Mark was going to live with his father in Rehoboth while he assembled his design portfolio to begin his career as a designer in New York. Mark and Geoff were on an extremely tight budget for the trip (they each started with $100), so they camped and stayed with friends along the way on their ten-day trip.
Raton Pass
One overnight stop was in Lubbock, Texas, visiting with Rich—a high school friend of Geoff's who was going through pilot training in the US Air Force (USAF). Although Mark recalled being told that his father had served as a mechanic in the Rhode Island National Guard before he was born, Mark had never been around anyone "in the service" and was surprised at how "normal" Rich and his peers were. Rich informed Mark that anyone with a college degree could become an Air Force pilot if he or she completed the training. The next morning, before leaving, Rich brought Mark out to the base and arranged to have Mark take a seat in one of the T-38 supersonic jets sitting on the ramp. The experience left an indelible impression on him.
Soon thereafter, now living with his father back in Rehoboth and after a long night working on his design portfolio, Mark announced one morning that, rather than pursue a design career, he planned to join the Air Force to be a pilot. He knew he would be forever restless if he did not explore this opportunity. The announcement was so unexpected and the concept so preposterous that his father—always the practical man—insisted he immediately go into Providence to meet with the USAF recruiter to find out if anything Mark was talking about was true. At dinner that evening, Mark reported that it was a real program and that he qualified for it with his RISD degree. His father asked what he was going to do. Mark replied, "Oh, it's done," explaining that he had already signed up and the first exams had already been scheduled.
Less than a year later, Mark made his solo flight in an Air Force T-41—a Cessna 172 airplane the Air Force used to determine if a flight candidate had the skills to complete jet training. Mark passed this screening program and in December 1981 received his commission as a 2nd lieutenant. In May 1983, after more than a year of intensive military pilot training, Mark arrived at his first assignment as a C-130 pilot at Clark Air Base in the Republic of the Philippines. In October 1985, he transferred to a WC-130 unit at Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, "the Hurricane Hunters." Mark completed his military service at the rank of captain and was honorably discharged from the Air Force effective January 5, 1989. Two months later he began what would become his twenty-nine-year career as a pilot for American Airlines.
While at American Airlines, Mark became active in the Allied Pilots Association, the labor union exclusively representing the pilots at American Airlines. He personally developed the union's first "members only" web site and suite of services. Beginning in 1998, he was elected and served as a representative union officer for two years. From 1998-2009, he oversaw the professional Information Technology department within the union that administered the second and third generations of the Internet services he had brought forth.
In 2000, Mark decided it was time to dust off the baskets of the old 1919 Henderson project if he was ever going to complete the restoration. He began researching the history of the make and model, while also searching for competent experts to help him with what he knew would be substantial machine work to get the bike running. Early on, he discovered C.K. Shepherd's book, Across America by Motor-Cycle, igniting the first spark of what has become a wildfire: the dream of recreating Shepherd's ride one hundred years later.
By 2002, Mark had joined the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) and had begun building a network of people to assist him with his own restoration and the growing plans for the cross-country trip. He volunteered to help at a northeast regional "meet" of AMCA and within a couple years was the chairman of a key committee for that meet. Later, he helped AMCA to stabilize and re-catalogue its "Virtual Library" collection of digital copies of hundreds of books, catalogues, photos, and documents relating to antique motorcycles.
Without a machine shop of his own, Mark was reliant on others to complete the "heavy lifting" of the restoration. After one disappointing engagement with a supposed expert for engine restoration, Mark was forced to start over. Knowing that he planned to ride this motorcycle cross-country, he engaged Mark Hill: a highly sought after machinist and veteran of Henderson motorcycle preparation for such endeavors. Thus began what became nearly a decade-long process during which experts went to extraordinary lengths to bring both the engine and frame back from what would normally be considered their graves.
In June 2018, Mark retired from American Airlines as a Boeing 737 captain, having previously been a captain on the McDonnell-Douglas MD-80, Airbus A300, and Boeing 767/757, as well as a first officer on the Boeing 727 and Airbus A300, and a flight engineer on the McDonnell Douglas DC-10.
Shortly after Mark's retirement, his 1919 Henderson was—at long last—running and drivable, and he was able to devote his full energies to attending to final restoration, "driver training," and installation of safety equipment on top of the endless chores associated with researching and planning his cross-country trip in 2019.
Across America by Motor-Cycle: Fully Annotated Centennial Edition is the product of Mark's dogged determination to discover and tell the rest of the story of Charles Kenilworth Shepherd's amazing journey, but Mark also plans to document his own journey in a subsequent book with the working title, Chasing Charles: Across America by Motor-Cycle II.

Southampton Itchen MP ship visits with Southampton port chaplain
Royston Smith MP was at Southampton docks recently to hear about the work of local maritime charity Sailors' Society.
The MP went on board ships to meet seafarers with the charity's Southampton port chaplain Jonathan Martin.
The Southampton Itchen MP said: "Southampton port is continuing to expand and handles around 950,000 vehicles a year and contributes over £1 billion to the UK economy annually, but many of us do not think about the 600,000 seafarers who come through the port and make all this possible".
"I'm grateful to Jonathan for meeting me and arranging a tour of a number of ships to show me the invaluable welfare work provided by Sailors' Society to seafarers visiting Southampton."
Each year 14 million tonnes of commodities come through Southampton port.
Jonathan said: "90 per cent of everything we use on a daily basis comes by sea and the seafarers who transport it make great personal sacrifices.
"It was a pleasure to take Royston around the port and tell him about Sailors' Society's work."
Sailors' Society was founded on 18 March 1818 to minister to the needs of destitute seafarers returning home from the Napoleonic Wars.
The charity, which is based in Woolston, now works in 29 countries around the world.
It aims to transform the lives of seafarers and their families at home, in port and at sea through the delivery of chaplaincy, education and the relief of poverty and distress.
