From our favorite rugged explorer and researcher, Don Monroe, comes a local native legend. The Seven Devils Mountain range in Idaho carries a story that will never make you look at this rugged mountain area the same. It is said, there are giants in them there hills!
I have yet to find a location in the Northwestern United States that Don has not hiked, explored, and lived off the land while looking for clues to the mysteries our great country still holds.
The Native People did a fine job of documenting their encounters with the "tall ones" in their distant past. The Lenni Lenape spoke of the Allegewi, the Paiutes of the red-haired giants or Si-Te-Cah.
In this legend, the Nez Perce Native People dug seven holes and put burning liquid in it and the giants stepped into the seven holes. The Coyote said they were being punished for their wickedness, and they would become mountain peaks forever.
One peak is referred to as the Devils Throne. The Seven Devils form "Hell's Canyon."
LINK: There were once seven giant, child-eating monsters living in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Each year the monsters traveled eastward, devouring all the little ones they could find along the way. The chiefs of the tribes asked Coyote to help free them from the tyranny of the seven giants. Coyote asked his friend Fox for advice.
"We will first dig seven holes," said Fox. "We will dig them very deep, in a place the giants always pass over ... Then we will fill the holes with boiling liquid."
Beavers, marmots, cougars, bears, and even rats, mice and voles - to dig the holes. Then Coyote filled the holes with a reddish-yellow liquid. Coyote and Fox dropped hot rocks into the boiling liquid to keep it hot.
The next time the seven devilish monsters journeyed eastward, they fell into the seven deep holes of boiling liquid. They fumed and splashed and roared, but could not get out. As they struggled, they scattered the reddish liquid around them as far as a man can travel in a day.
"You are being punished for your wickedness. I will punish you even more by changing you into seven mountains. I will make you very high so that everyone can see you. You will stand here forever, to remind people that your punishment comes from wrong-doing. And I will make a deep gash in the earth here so that no more of your family can get across to trouble my people."
Coyote changed the seven giants into the Seven Devils Mountains, and then he struck the earth a hard blow and so opened up a deep gorge, Hells Canyon, at the feet of the giant mountain peaks. The boiling reddish-yellow liquid that was splashed across the land by struggling giants formed the copper deposits found in the area today.
Isn't that a theme we hear repeatedly? The Lenni Lenape fought, killed and drove off the giants down the Mississippi, the Paiutes trapped the red-haired giants in a cave and burned them, the Rapa Nui on Easter Island drove the long-earreds into a ditch to burn them, two aboriginal women in Australia coaxed a giant into a cave and burned him.
These legends pop up around the world of giants that eat people, children included.
It might be time to give them some serious credence.

Genesis Center and Amos House Receive Citi Foundation Funding Through LISC
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN PROVIDENCE RECEIVE FUNDING THOUGH
THE CITI FOUNDATION AND LISC TO HELP TRAIN WORKERS FOR
GROWING JOB SECTORS
Two local nonprofits will use $360,000 in grants to help displaced workers prepare for
skilled positions in customer service, healthcare, trades
PROVIDENCE—The Citi Foundation and the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) today announced new funding through the Bridges to Career Opportunities initiative (Bridges) to help connect unemployed and underemployed people in Providence to good jobs in growth industries.
Two local nonprofits have been awarded $360,000 and technical support to provide services that help job seekers increase their incomes, improve their credit and raise their standards of living. Services include skills training and career development, as well as personal finance coaching, continuing education courses (to strengthen math and reading skills), and resources to help job seekers secure transportation, child care and housing arrangements, which can be impediments to career mobility.
The new funding is part of a $10 million three-year national effort by the Citi Foundation and LISC to expand the reach of Bridges and spur economic opportunity for thousands of families, including more than 500 workers in Providence.
"Providence is a city on the rise because we understand the importance of investing in our people," said Mayor Jorge Elorza. "This generous contribution by the Citi Foundation and LISC will strengthen our workforce and our community by supporting proven organizations that provide pathways to employment. I want to thank our partners for their shared commitment to creating economic opportunity for all."
The two grantees are longstanding partners of LISC Rhode Island and have successful track records of outreach in the communities they serve. Both will use the Bridges funding to tailor services to growing employment sectors and to reach a larger pool of local residents.
•	Genesis Center will grow its support for job seekers in fields like culinary arts, human services, and early learning, helping people earn the credentials they need to qualify for good-paying job opportunities and then access counseling support to build a path toward advancement.
•	Amos House is leveraging Bridges to expand its training services, focusing on people who are formerly homeless or overcoming challenges like substance abuse. The nonprofit will double its capacity to train and place clients in stable jobs, and develop a new customer service/call center education and training program to complement its existing training in the trades.
"The demands of today's U.S. job market are playing out in different ways for American workers and we need to support those who are being negatively impacted by the forces that are shaping the modern economy," said Ed Skyler, executive vice president for global public affairs at Citi and chair of the Citi Foundation. "By connecting programs that provide not only education and skills building, but support services for family and housing needs, we're helping American workers who have been or are in danger of being displaced achieve success and contribute to their communities."
The Providence groups are among 40 community-based nonprofits to be awarded funding through this program (a full listing of participating organizations can be found here).
"Our number one priority is to strengthen our community," said Shannon Carroll, president and CEO of the Genesis Center. "We do that by investing in our greatest resource: our people. We are thrilled that the Citi Foundation and LISC recognize this and are providing funds that will allow us to expand our training programs and support services to reach more of our residents—especially some of our most vulnerable community members—so that they may increase their access to education, good jobs, and living wages," she said.
The majority of people who enter the Bridges program are either unemployed or working in minimum wage jobs and testing at a 6th-8th grade education level. After Bridges, more than three-quarters of participants move on to occupational skills training and 64 percent achieve industry-recognized credentials—opening doors to living wage jobs they would not otherwise be able to access and putting them on career pathways with the opportunity for ongoing advancement. In the last two years alone, more than 3,000 training participants across the country have been placed in jobs.
"Our partners at Amos House and Genesis Center have built track records that demonstrate what works to connect people to economic opportunity," said Jeanne Cola, executive director of LISC Rhode Island. "When we help someone find a good—or better—job, we help both families and communities thrive."
The Citi Foundation's investment in Bridges builds on a decades-long relationship between the Foundation and LISC. It also signals an expansion of Citi Foundation's Pathways to Progress initiative beyond youth-focused career readiness to provide adult job seekers the full range of services needed for long-term employment.

Two years ago, I had my figurines at a holiday bazaar at my work. A lady there requested a figurine like this one, and I wasn't able to complete it in time. I think she was a little disappointed that it didn't work out, since it was meant to be a gift.
She still works there, and I've got another holiday bazaar tomorrow morning. Maybe she'll decide that she likes it enough to buy it.


This beautiful ikat print comes in gray, tan and ivory. This fabric has a medium drape and is suitable for curtains, upholstery, pillows, duvets, shams, bags and much more!
Beautiful, quality fabric at a great price, the ikat is so easy to place and the material easy to work with. Excellent customer service.
I stumbled across your website and landed in a gold mine. My client wanted this fabric but it was $30.00 more from another vendor (it did have linen in it though). When I showed her the sample that we ordered she was elated. It was perfect for what we needed and so happy to have your price point. It arrived in a timely fashion too.
Loved the colors and the pattern. Lightweight upholstery fabric. Used Scotchguard to protect the fabric once on my kitchen chairs because of the white.
Great fabric! Beautiful! Nice weight too!

Their definition of gentrification is, uh, suspect.
Yeahhhh, I find their methodology a little less than convincing here.
Not really sure the 'huge renaissance downtown' has been driven by sports stadiums. Kind of misses the point, actually.
And more than half the areas that are (big air quote) gentrified (end big air quote) are nowhere near stadiums or the light rail. Not to say the light rail isn't great, but I don't think it's exactly gentrifying east lake street or anything.
If my gentrification report concluded that Minneapolis was somehow the third most gentrified city in the nation, you know, that would just raise a tiny red flag for me.
When what's actually happened is the number of people living there has grown by 50% because formerly empty land (or surface parking) have been replaced by new condos and apartment.
Is labeling that "gentrification" supposed to make people think this is a bad thing?
yeah, that (and some of the development along the light rail corridor, where housing replaced light industrial that was mostly not even the kind that employs many people) is the absolute best kind of gentrification. That area down by the river used to be pretty Mad Max. I'm surprised that the population growth is only 50% – where were people living before? I just remember parking lots and empty silos with occasional squatters.
Maybe it's having lived in San Francisco for a few years, but I have a very hard time believing that gentrification is a significant problem in Minneapolis, perhaps outside of very small, special-case pockets where rents have skyrocketed. And even skyrocketing rents need not imply displacement of low-income residents (specifically, if it's caused by new construction on lots that formerly were not residential, as Adam's comment mentions). Does anyone know of a Mpls. neighborhood where, anecdotally or empirically, significant numbers of residents are actually being forced to leave the neighborhood because they can no longer afford to live there? I just haven't heard such stories.
The Twin Cities area typically does very well in nationwide surveys of housing affordability relative to average incomes. There's certainly poverty in Minneapolis, and that in itself is an actual problem, but gentrification just doesn't seem like one here. You haven't seen real gentrification, with the large-scale displacement the term implies, unless you've spent time in SF, DC, or New York lately.
In my neighborhood, Powderhorn, we had a lot of displacement from foreclosures, which has been followed by visibly-richer people moving in – mostly it's visible in lower densities, families half the size of the families that left in the same house or apartment. But the people who were displaced were displaced when housing costs were falling, not rising (rents were rising for part of it, though.) I don't know if that has a label.
The core issue with gentrification is that residents in an area are forced out of it by rising rents and property taxes. To use a definition of gentrification that doesn't look at who is leaving and who is coming in seems to miss the point entirely. All this map seems to show is districts that have gotten wealthier and more educated, which is a good thing, unless this study can also show that people were displaced because of the shift.
Gentrification is complicated. I am not sure when or why it became a dirty word. If incomes or education are rising even without new construction it may quite be possible that no one is explicitly displaced. Instead, the new people who move in are wealthier (more educated) than those who move out, and would have moved out anyway. So instead of similar incomes being replaced in kind, income rises. No one is thrown out of their homes. People on average move every 5 or 6 years anyway so there is natural turnover and a long vacancy chain.
Of course, if rents are rising very rapidly, people might be priced out of their homes when rents (or even property taxes [for grandma on a fixed income]) rise every year. This always happens at the margins, but for most people price is one factor among many in choosing a location (the benefit of the location being another, the quality of the structure a third).
I'm not sure if it would have been appropriate editorial practice, but I really thought about putting quotation marks around "Gentrification" in the title. Luckily, it seems our commenters took this study with as much well-deserved skepticism as I did. The map (and study) is interesting, of course, but their definition of the G-word is really suspect.
I guess that's the tension here, right? Gentrification has become this dirty word because people explicitly connect it with displacement (even if that would've come naturally) and shades of colonization. (eg: the term "Columbusing" is related to gentrification).
Even if the textbook definition of gentrification excludes that aspect, they are fully merged in the popular conception.
I'm not the only one in these comments to quibble with the method used in this study, and I think that's the basis of why. While technically correct, this study seems to ignore the part of gentrification that everyone wants to talk about these days.
Wait, why would the lower-income folks "have moved out anyway"? And where are you getting that "no one is thrown out of there homes", especially in a city where sketchy home loan practices and subsequent foreclosures were so rampant that the Occupy Homes movement gained so much traction here and the UN even picked on Minneapolis in particular in a report on the issue? I saw an eviction in progress just yesterday, in Philips. Also, I happen to know that our landlord in South Minneapolis forced out the previous tenants by raising the rent… Does that not count? Or are you just trying a wee bit too hard to pretend like there's not a problem here?
Well, back in the halcyon days of 2002-2007, a lot of older people of color cashed out big time on houses that had doubled or tripled in value in South Minneapolis. More white people did, because of the racist history of real estate & lending practices, but there was still a big replacement of lower-income (though possibly not lower-wealth – retired people can have low income and high wealth, comparatively).
I don't know if it's fair to say there's no displacement if people leave voluntarily, though. A lot of people who would really like to live in the neighborhoods where they grew up, couldn't – they were going to move to a new address anyway, but not necessarily a new neighborhood.
This past summer we did some analysis around the issue of gentrification and trying to understand it here in the Twin Cities. Our analysis was based on a study in Portland, OR by Lisa K. Bates titled "Gentrification and Displacement Study: Implementing an equitable inclusive development strategy in the context of gentrification". We applied the methodology from that study and applied it here.
A deeper understanding of the social and economic conditions, along with investments over time is needed rather than simply saying a neighborhood has gentrified or not. I don't so much question the methodology used by Governing Magazine, but rather how the information is shared doesn't give the reader very much information of what is actually taking place in a particular neighborhood.

For the first time in ages I was asked to code up some buttons that at first looked as though they could only be generated by using images. The buttons needed to allow for varying text lengths so my mind first went to the Sliding doors of CSS that I used to use regularly.
It was written in 2003! This is what happens when you're from the olden days, in relation to web standards. I dismissed this immediately due to the fact it requires two elements to act as hooks (I only wanted to use button) and I knew there were CSS3 properties that could do all this. My worry was how many people would end up seeing the most fancy button.
This demonstration uses live CSS so in order to see the full effect you will need to be using recent versions of Mozilla or Webkit browsers. IE users will only see a very basically styled button.
First start with the CSS for those browsers that don't yet support CSS3 to make sure everyone can see the content inside the button.
The theory behind gradients can be found on the W3C's site. There are more alternatives than linear and this value can be used wherever an image is applicable.
Put simply (without explaining vendor specific implementations) you first specify the direction of your gradient, in this case -90deg. After that you have a comma separated list of colours that dissect that line with percentage values of where you would like them to be placed.
I find this syntax difficult to put together myself so I generated mine using Galarza for the -moz prefix and Westciv for the -webkit prefix.
The gradient now takes precedence over the background image. If you don't need to support Opera, then remove the call to the background image and save an HTTP request.
To give the rounded corners of the button, add the border-radius property.
As of Firefox 4 you no longer need to use the vendor-specific prefix of -moz, but I have kept it in as it will still be supported during a transitional time and older versions of Firefox will still require it. Webkit based browsers dropped the -webkit prefix as of version 3. IE6, 7 and 8 will get square corners.
In the button above we are getting the button's background colour bleeding out behind the corners.
By default the background colour is painted all the way under the border and would be specified as background-clip: border-box;. There are two other values this property can have padding-box and content-box, where the background is painted up to the padding and content respectively. In this situation we want padding-box.
Note that for Mozilla based browsers the property is padding. IE6, 7 and 8 do not support this property which isn't a problem as they don't get the rounded corners that this is solving. According to Quirksmode, Opera 10 is 'almost' compatible. They also say that Firefox below 4 doesn't support it, I have only tested the property and value shown above.
CSS3:info has a detailed page on understanding box-shadow. Once again, IE6, 7 and 8 do not support this property. Firefox, Safari and Chrome still require the vendor prefixes as shown above.
This is a perfect example of progressive enhancement and how we should start to use the newer/experimental CSS3 properties. Make sure the fall-back is understandable and then add the features on top for the full-featured rendering.
I think this is a nifty overview of properly cross-platform button styling without requiring all those bothersome little images. Thanks!

Instead, look for names like Laura, Helen, and Amy.
Mogensen, a Sarnia native and pianist currently based in Denmark, is playing a hometown show March 23 featuring compositions by female 19th century composers.
Following #MeToo and Time's Up movements, the Northern Collegiate and Rosedale elementary graduate, and university educated musician said she wanted to shine light on the often forgotten women composers of 150 years ago.
"There is a lot that is brilliant and masterful and gorgeous," she said about the selections she picked from scores of works by men, noting other musicians as well are starting to give attention to female composers.
"I think there have been people over the last 30 or 40 years probably looking into it, but it hasn't' really accumulated much steam until recently with #MeToo and Time's Up and all these movements where we're looking at gender parity in a more general sense in society," she said.
Her concert, in the Sarnia Library Theatre – where she said she performed her first recitals as a child, learning piano from her mother Edite Mogensen – is also a fundraiser, she said, to help pay for her recording.
Mogensen said she's played the same 90-minute set to other audiences over the past few weeks, to strong receptions.
The featured composers are French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, American and Scottish, she said, and the works are from 1840-1870.

Johns Hopkins Launches Stem Cell Web Documentary - 09/21/2009
Johns Hopkins Launches Stem Cell Web Documentary
Multimedia production dovetails with 2009 World Stem Cell Summit in Baltimore, MD.
Johns Hopkins Medicine, a co-host of the 2009 World Stem Cell Summit, is telling a comprehensive stem cell story via a new interactive Web site http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/stem_cell_research/ on which its researchers and clinicians collectively describe their explorations into stem cell biology and engineering.
The production, which launches today, emphasizes applications of stem cell technologies in regenerative medicine and underscores the collaborative effort that is fundamental to translational research.
Highlights of the site include everything from a narrated timeline of stem cell research to a video feature of a Hopkins patient, physician and bench scientist who are linked by stem cell research as it relates to Parkinson's Disease. Hopkins experts also weigh in on state-of-the-art issues of ethics and safety as they apply to stem cells.
The World Stem Cell Summit, which will take place Sept. 21-23 at the Baltimore Convention Center, brings together more than 100 speakers—governors, federal officials, top researchers and scientists— who will present and discuss new federal stem cell policies, scientific breakthroughs and human interest stories to an audience of more than 1,200 experts from more than 25 countries and across the United States. Speakers include:
Linzhao Cheng, Ph.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering; Chi V. Dang, M.D., Ph.D., vice dean for research, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Valina Dawson, Ph.D., professor, Department of Neurology, Neuroscience and Physiology, Institute for Cell Engineering; Jennifer Elisseeff, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical engineering, Johns Hopkins University; Richard J. Jones, M.D., professor of oncology and medicine, director of the Bone Marrow Transplantation Program and co-director of the Hematologic Malignancies Program at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
Also, Jeffrey D. Rothstein, M.D., Ph.D., co-director, Brain Science Center, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Hongjun Song, Ph.D., associate professor of neurology, Institute for Cell Engineering, Johns Hopkins University; Jeremy Sugarman, M.D., M.P.H., M.A., Harvey M. Meyerhoff Professor of Bioethics and Medicine, Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and Department of Medicine; and Wesley D. Blakeslee, J.D., executive director, Johns Hopkins Technology Transfer, Johns Hopkins University.
The World Stem Cell Summit is the only conference that combines this mix of researchers, policymakers, business leaders, and ethics and legal advocates to share, explore and discuss the latest breakthroughs and advancements in the emerging field of stem cells.
Demonstrations and discussions will range from tracking how reprogrammed stem cells (iPSCs) might complement the use of embryonic stem cells to stem cells used in regenerative medicine and how new devices such as stem cell integrated fluidic circuits might soon automate and simplify the entire process.
Follow the latest on the conference arrangements on the Web and Twitter. Story possibilities will be posted by participating universities and agencies on the conference news blog.

The parent company of WordPress.com, Automattic, announced plans for a new publishing platform for news, which will be a result of collaboration with Google. That said, Google will work with WordPress to release a new publishing platform, which will allow smaller to medium publications to get more revenue from their content.
The app will be called Newspack by WordPress.com and will be launched as part of a partnership with News Revenue Hub and Spirited Media. Aside from Google, which funded pretty much half of the funds necessary for the new publishing platform, other backers include Lenfest Institute for Journalism ($400,000), ConsenSys ($350,000), as well as the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation ($250,000).
The current funding will support this innovative collaboration to see the project through its first years of operations. WordPress is an extremely popular text editor which can be used for making websites and publishing blog content. According to a survey on W3Techs, WordPress powers at least 30% of websites.
Newspack, however, is supposed to target smaller news outlets which have trouble with the complexity of technology, maintenance, development and hosting, it said in the press release. That said, the new publishing platform for news should be more intuitive to users and help them avoid problems with the mentioned issues.
Since the Newspack platform is still in development and it likely won't launch until July 2019, at that time it will be used by several websites as part of the beta program. However, publications that want to apply to use it can do so from now until February 1. Automattic, however, noted that the news outlets which have already tried "editorial and financial success" in their markets will be more prioritized.
It is expected that the development time of the app will be going on through Jan. 2020, and from then, the platform will be available to about 60 news publication websites. The prelaunch phase is covered by Automattic, Google and other collaborators, and once that period expires, the news publications will likely have to pay somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 per month.
"Our hope with Newspack is to give [publications] a platform where they can continue to focus on what they do best, while we focus on providing world-class technology and support across their editorial and business operations," Automattic editor Mark Armstrong was quoted on WordPress.com.

Signal trouble causes NJ Transit delays again
By FOX 5 NY Staff
NJ Transit
FOX 5 NY
Signal troubles lead to another frustrating commute for NJ Transit riders
NJ Transit riders were left angry and frustrated again after signal troubles meant some commuters had to wait as much as an hour to take their trains home during the heart of rush hour.
NEW YORK - Some NJ Transit commuters were left waiting for an hour for their trains in the heart of rush hour, as rail service in and out of Penn Station in Manhattan was disrupted Thursday evening due to signal problems.
Crowds formed in Penn Station as commuters seeking to go home to New Jersey waited for their trains to be assigned tracks and be given permission to leave the station.
NJ Transit, the nation's third-largest transit system, has been plagued by service delays and cancelations, infrastructure problems, a shortage of engineers, accidents, and other problems.
Just this week, a group of commuters started a petition calling on NJ Transit's leadership to resign.
(FOX 5 NY)
Phil Murphy responded to the calls for changes at NJ Transit saying that he has full confidence in the agency's leadership. He says he has also proposed over $130M for next year's NJ Transit budget.
As residual delays continued through the evening, authorities said that NJ Transit buses and private carriers and the PATH system were cross-honoring rail tickets.

Neosho, Mo.—One of the world's most reliable rockets, an engine without a name, is produced in undisclosed numbers at a plant employing 1,100 persons outside a tiny community in southwest Missouri.
Click image for a 1380x1998 pixel version of this image in a new window.
STEAM CLEANING of chamber is necessary to meet rigorous cleanliness requirements of Atlas engines. Workman tightens connection to chamber manifold.
Rocketdyne Division of North American Aviation produces the liquid-propellant rocket that serves as powerplant for the Jupiter and Thor and as booster for the Atlas at a government-owned installation on the grounds of Ft. Crowder, a now inactive Army camp.
Military code designations are all the LOX-kerosene engine has for a name. As Atlas booster, the latest version is called XLR-89-NA-5. As engine for the Army Jupiter, it is the S-3D.
Whatever the designation, it was rated originally at 150,000 lbs. thrust, with tanks for burning 160 sec. in the basic Thor. Recently, the engine has been upgraded to 165,000 lbs. to improve the Thor and give Atlas a longer range. A further modification, designated H-1, has been souped up to 188,000 lbs. thrust for clustering into the Saturn booster.
Rocketdyne performs research and development work on this and other engines at Canoga Park, Calif. When they go into production, activity shifts to Neosho. However, the 57,000-lb-thrust, four-minute-burning Atlas sustainer is produced at Canoga Park.
Earnest A. Wright is manager of the Neosho plant, which has about 250,000 sq. ft. of floor area, a two-stand engine test area and a separate area for testing pumps, generators and vernier engines. Wright says the improvements developed in the engine recently have been introduced to production models, both of Atlas booster and Thor powerplants.
The improved Thor engine, which Rocketdyne designates "Block 2," will be used for space experiments. Further improvements have been made in the Atlas booster. Rocketdyne calls the latest version MA-3.
• Ameliorations—Wright said the Thor improvements include simplified valving, substitution of a pyrophoric igniter for a pyrotechnic igniter and the increase of pump capacity to increase thrust. He explained that the new igniter uses tri-ethyl aluminum in the fuel line with a cartridge on either side.
When the pumps start, fuel pressure breaks one cartridge, and the igniter fuel flames up on contact with air. Regular fuel following behind the second cartridge is ignited by the triethyl flame. Meanwhile, LOX feed begins a few milliseconds later, at which time thrust has reached 90%.
The Atlas MA-3 saves weight by using fiber glass wrapping instead of steel bands to reinforce the thrust chamber and reduces the number of components further. This is partly achieved as a result of a new control system that uses fuel from the missile itself to operate the engine sequences, instead of pneumatic and hydraulic sequences as in earlier models.
Click image for a 1379x765 pixel version of this image in a new window.
FIBER GLASS WRAPPING applied to the thrust chamber of Atlas MA-3 engines replaces heavy steel bands, reducing weight but keeping same strength as steel.
•Many suppliers—Production at Neosho begins in the receiving department. Rocketdyne bought $9,953,394 worth of parts, components and raw materials last year from slightly more than 1,500 suppliers. More than one-third of the purchases were within an immediate four-state area (Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas) within 150 miles radius. Of all purchases, 40.8% were from companies with fewer than 500 employees.
Much of the work given to subcontractors is on small metal parts, particularly when the plant machine shop is overloaded. Rocketdyne says many small machine shops in the area do extremely high quality work.
One example is Sibley Engineering & Manufacturing, a 19-employee firm in Sulphur Springs, Ark., whose chief product is a gizzard skinner used widely in the poultry industry. The owner, Milton Emanuel, is a former employee of a meat-packing company.
Another subcontractor, Claude Roderick of Monett, Mo., proprietor of Roderick Arms Tool Co., is in the rifle business, but does machine-shop, tool and die work for Rocketdyne.
A typical day's incoming shipments at Rocketdyne include a lubricating pump from Pesco Products, forgings from Harvey Aluminum and American Brake Shoe, a valve assembly and an oxidizer check valve from Valley Bolt Corp., valves from H. W. Loud Machine Works, flex hose from Titeflex Inc., lubrication tank from Weldfab Inc. and servovalve and actuator from Moog Valve Co.
Between 800 and 1,000 different parts are manufactured in the Neosho plant machine shop, headed by General Foreman H. A. Eathorne. Many kinds of metal are machined.
•New alloy—One of the newest is an aluminum alloy developed by North American, called Tens 50. Castings of the new alloy are machined into the unusual shapes needed for the volutes in turbopumps. Tens 50 is harder and has greater strength than the aluminum alloy formerly used. This is a major factor in the uprating of pump capacity, which made it possible to increase thrust.
Another such change was a switch to Tens 50 from another grade of aluminum in the turbopump gear case. Also, the number of parts was reduced by switching from two pieces to one.
Hundreds of operations are involved in machining the complex gear case. The job takes weeks to complete. Work is programmed so that different phases go on simultaneously.
"Tape-controlled machines come into their own on jobs like this," Eathorne says. "We get precision and repeatability. And we save on personnel costs."
Click image for a 1378x984 pixel version of this image in a new window.
AUTOMATIC INDEXING machine used to drill holes in injectors, assures proper alignment, accurate angle. Tape control makes products identical.
In other changes in uprating the pumps, the inducer material went from plate 2024 aluminum to die-forged 2014 aluminum, and the impeller went to Tens 50 from another grade of aluminum. The inducer, which looks like a four-bladed outboard motor propeller, spins to maintain the flow of liquid into the pump. The impeller, inside the pump, does the main job. Alcoa supplies the aluminum forgings.
Other major parts machined in the Rocketdyne shop include a die-forged aluminum thrust chamber dome, the main injector of hand-forged 4130 steel, with its 3,000 holes, and aluminum and stainless steel special fittings and crosses.
D. B. Gore, chief of engineering, says the Tens 50 alloy patented by North American was originally called T42. Variations of Tens 50 have 0.2% offset yield strength averaging 35,000 psi. Ultimate tensile strength averages 43,000 psi.
Tens 50 is the same as aluminum alloy 356-T6 except that it has 1% higher silicon content and a little beryllium. The composition is aluminum plus 7.6-8.6% silicon, 0.4-0.6% magnesium, 0.1-0.3% beryllium, 0.1-0.2% titanium and traces of several other elements.
The largest component of the engine, the thrust chamber, is produced in the metal fitting, welding and processing department, headed by General Foreman Frank Holkenbrink. This department also does all sheet metal work.
Assembly of the thrust chamber starts with 292 formed cooling tubes of pure nickel, chosen because it is very ductile and a good heat conductor. The tubes are stacked on a torch-weld jig and brazed together with silver solder. Silver was selected for its extremely high heat conductivity and relatively high strength.
In brazing, production workers start at the narrow throat and work both forward and backward, so that the combustion chamber and exit cone are reached simultaneously. To reinforce the tail cone, 4130 steel bands are used. In the older design, 3/16 in. bands reinforce the combustion chamber and 11 bands 1/16 in. reinforce the tail cone. In the newer design, glass wrapping replaces all steel bands in the chamber area.
Seal tube ends. At rear connect adjacent pairs. At front end, mill slot in every other tube and seal its end. Leave other tube open for feed to injector.
Attach thrust ring to front end and machine it.
Attach bands and ring to manifold.
Pressure test to 1,000 psi prior to glass wrapping.
Insert expandable mandrel inside chamber.
Paint seal coating on chamber to give good surface.
Attach fiber glass strips, soaked in epoxy resin, lengthwise at 18° intervals.
Rotate 9° and attach another 20 lengthwise strips spaced between first set.
Wind another layer of fiber glass.
Cut off ends of strips.
Attach fittings and wrap on with fiber glass.
Clean, paint and deliver to assembly.
In the assembly area, headed by General Foreman C. W. Bright, the first step is trimming impellers for the required power curve. Since thrust was uprated, the trim must be different from that in earlier models.
Mate impeller to gear case.
Pressure-check and cold-check LOX line with liquid nitrogen.
Hot-fire turbopump at test area.
Leak-test and visually inspect pump on return.
Test thrust chamber in water flow and calibrated for pressure drop.
Build up gas generator and test in hot-test area.
Mount turbopump, injector and gas generator onto thrust frame.
Link components with hoses and lines.
Test sequencing and for leaks.
Hot-fire engine in test area.
Make second electromechanical checkout at shop; optically verify that geometric center of thrust chamber is within prescribed tolerances.
Inspect torque valves for leaks; verify complete procedures.
A similar but less involved procedure is used in manufacturing vernier engines, the only other major item produced at Neosho. The vernier develops 1,000 lbs. thrust that gives the Atlas and Thor their final velocity. Two engines are used on each missile; the Jupiter has none. The vernier weighs between 75 and 80 lbs.
The main difference between Thor and Atlas verniers is in the way the vernier is attached to the missile. In earlier models, designated Block 1, the vernier was ignited pyrotechnically. The Block 2 vernier uses a pyrophoric mixture of tri-ethyl aluminum and tri-ethyl boron.

Jon Stewart introduced a new "Los Panderos" segment Monday night, taking score of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's most obvious attempts to appeal to Hispanic voters.
According to Stewart, In their greetings at the NALEO conference, where both candidates delivered speeches last week, Obama scored big points by speaking in Spanish at last week's conference for Latino elected officials, while Romney struggled to communicate with his Latino audience.
"Now I know why the economy isn't doing so well," Stewart said about Obama. "You spent the last three years doing Rosetta Stone tapes."


I travel a lot, but at the end of the day I am just a University student who works casually as a gym attendant. I'm not exactly raking in the cash, and yet, I plan overseas holidays at every available opportunity without loans or credit card debt.
The biggest tip I can give you so that you can enjoy travel without falling into the credit card void is don't organise holidays at the last minute. In order to travel as cheaply as possible while still maintaining the level of comfort I prefer, I like to start planning at least six months out, if not longer. This gives me time to pay for things as I go, rather than having one giant bill to foot all at once. It's a lot less daunting to pay off a few thousand dollars over the course of twenty pay periods than it is to end up with a single debt of that same amount.
Take for instance my upcoming trip to the USA. I've known for about a year that my friend would be getting married in July, so I had a vague itinerary planned that was just waiting for official dates. As soon as she gave me the wedding date, I was able to confirm my itinerary and start the booking process. At the moment, every time I get paid, I pay for part of the trip. I'm currently still purchasing all of my transport, but after I book my next three trains, I'll be on to my accommodation. Accommodation is different as all of the places I book are pay on arrival (in order to allow the greatest flexibility with cancellation, and also so I'm not stuck with huge amounts to pay at once – I don't get paid that much each week and a girl's gotta eat!), but I have a separate bank account set up that holds the money needed until I reach each venue.
I love a good spreadsheet, and so when I plan my itinerary I colour code each item so that I know whether it's booked but unpaid, or whether I've booked and paid for it, meaning it's one extra thing to cross off my list. I then keep a running total at the bottom of the spreadsheet of how much I need to pay, and the different sections of the trip those costs belong to (accommodation, transport, activities, etc.). This means that at a glance, I can see how much of the trip is paid off, and how much more money I need to have before I go. If you're not going to have all your travel and accommodation paid for (or at least, have the money ready to pay) before you leave for your trip, it's my opinion that you need to re-evaluate your planning. Travel is great, but not when it puts you into debt – it's better to wait a bit longer and have enough to pay everything off before just putting everything on your credit card.
I do have a confession in terms of the above, however. While I don't have a credit card and would never take out a loan to travel, those who know me know that I am guilty of relying on the Bank of Mum and Dad. My parents support my travel habits by paying for me on family holidays, and I did go a fair bit into debt to them during my last trip to the USA. That said, as soon as I got back, I created a repayment plan and had paid the amount back in full before I began planning this trip. I'm lucky to have generous parents, but I also know that you can't be unrealistic and travel outside your means. It's my goal going forward to not have to borrow any money in order to travel, so we'll see how that goes.
How do you prefer to pay for your trips – pay as you go, or all at once? Do you think it's okay to rely on loans in order to travel?
And for a laugh, the Betoota Advocate were on point with this article relating to travel and debt.


Polbase - Reference: Efficiency of correct nucleotide insertion governs DNA polymerase fidelity.
Efficiency of correct nucleotide insertion governs DNA polymerase fidelity.
DNA polymerase fidelity or specificity expresses the ability of a polymerase to select a correct nucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) from a pool of structurally similar molecules. Fidelity is quantified from the ratio of specificity constants (catalytic efficiencies) for alternate substrates (i.e. correct and incorrect dNTPs). An analysis of the efficiency of dNTP (correct and incorrect) insertion for a low fidelity mutant of DNA polymerase beta (R283A) and exonuclease-deficient DNA polymerases from five families derived from a variety of biological sources reveals that a strong correlation exists between the ability to synthesize DNA and the probability that the polymerase will make a mistake (i.e. base substitution error). Unexpectedly, this analysis indicates that the difference between low and high fidelity DNA polymerases is related to the efficiency of correct, but not incorrect, nucleotide insertion. In contrast to the loss of fidelity observed with the catalytically inefficient R283A mutant, the fidelity of another inefficient mutant of DNA polymerase beta (G274P) is not altered. Thus, although all natural low fidelity DNA polymerases are inefficient, not every inefficient DNA polymerase has low fidelity. Low fidelity polymerases appear to be an evolutionary solution to how to replicate damaged DNA or DNA repair intermediates without burdening the genome with excessive polymerase-initiated errors.

Puerto Rico Gov. Rossello hasn't resigned, spokesman says
FILE- Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rossello speaks with FOX 5 NY morning program, 'Good Day New York' during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - The embattled governor of Puerto Rico was expected to resign Wednesday after massive protests on the island calling for his ouster, according to local media. But hours later, a spokesman said the governor was still in office.
Ricardo Rossello planned to make a farewell announcement at noon, sources told El Nuevo Dia. But that didn't happen.
Rossello "has not resigned and remains in Puerto Rico," Public Affairs Secretary Anthony Maceira said. "As he said yesterday, he's in a process of reflecting, and listening to the people." Maceira called some media reports "incorrect rumors" and said that "whatever decision is taken will be officially communicated, as always."
Nearly 900 pages of obscenity-laced online chats between Rossello and some of his closest advisers were leaked earlier this month. Women, the LGBTQ community and the victims of Hurricane Maria were insulted in the chats.
The leak intensified long-smoldering anger in the U.S. territory over persistent corruption and mismanagement by the island's two main political parties, a severe debt crisis, a sickly economy and a slow recovery from Maria, which devastated Puerto Rico in September 2017.
On Sunday, Rossello said he would not seek re-election but would not resign as the island's leader, though he would step down as head of his pro-statehood party.

Buddy Valastro
Grace Faugno is the elder sister of Cake Boss Buddy Valastro's wife, Lisa.
Italian-American baker and reality television star Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Jr. Carlo's Bakery and Buddy V's Ristorante have him as their faces. Cake Boss, a reality show that featured Valastro as the star, launched in April of that year. Aside from Bakery Boss, he's appeared in the films Next Great Baker (2010), Kitchen Boss (2011), Buddy's Bakery Rescue (2013), Bake You Rich (2013) and Baking You Rich (2013).
On the TLC show Cake Boss, Valastro is the chief baker of Carlo's Bakery. As a result of the show's success, Carlo's has subsequently launched an additional 17 bakeries. In January 2012, the Hudson Reporter honored Valastro with an honorable mention in its list of Hudson County's 50 most significant persons because of the attention the business and the TV series had brought to the city of Hoboken.
Carlo's Bakery has seven sites in New Jersey—Hoboken, Marlton; Morristown; Red Bank; Ridgewood; Wayne; and Westfield. From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to New York, to Orlando, Florida, to San Antonio and The Woodlands, Texas, to Las Vegas and most recently, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the bakery has a presence across the United States. Additionally, the Lackawanna Factory in adjacent Jersey City acts as the company's corporate headquarters and a second baking facility for specialized baked items shipped across the country.
Valastro and Whole Earth Sweetener Co. teamed together in 2016 for the "Rethink Sweet" campaign. To assist his followers in living healthier lifestyles, Valastro will act as a brand ambassador for a "new range of zero and lower-calorie sweeteners" and develop recipes utilizing the product, according to the firm. This new line of pet snacks was developed in collaboration between The Pound Bakery, which makes pet treats, and Valastro, which collaborated with them in 2018. The Pound Bakery's president, Lexie Berglund, explains, "We wanted to produce appealing treats for dogs inspired by traditional Italian meals and desserts." While working with several other firms to create the Buddy Valastro Foods brand in 2018, Buddy developed a range of fondants, buttercream icings, and Italian Biscotti biscuits ready to use.
Buddy's Personal History
On October 14, 2001, Buddy and Lisa Valastro exchanged vows. A family of four called the Valastro's lived in East Hanover Township in New Jersey for many years before moving to California in 2014. Sergio, his stepfather, is one of his stepsisters. Maurizio Belgiovine is his in-name. He was last seen in Montville, New Jersey, in 2014. Valastro was arrested for drunk driving on November 13th, 2014. He was fined $300 and had his driving privileges banned for 90 days.
A pinsetter impaled Valastro's right (dominant) hand at his local bowling alley in September 2020. Family members, including his sons, managed to cut him free from the machine. He had to have two unexpected procedures.
Grace Faugno's Career:
As a reality star, Grace is well-known. As Buddy's elder siblings, Grace and Joey are parents to Robert, a boy, and Bartolina, a girl.

One of the top questions I'm asked from Astrology enthusiasts is to explain why it is widely advised among astrologers to read any horoscope, or watch any video horoscope, for both your Sun sign and your Rising sign.
Before I begin, let me be clear: nothing replaces a proper consultation with an astrologer. During a private session, an astrologer will cast your specific horoscope based on the date, time and location of your birth. This map is unique to you and the cycles an astrologer will consider in his or her forecasting can be remarkably accurate. I personally believe that everyone should invest in this experience at least once in their lifetime. Just be sure that if you do, you hire a qualified professional.
The second best way to get the most personalized attention possible is by considering both your Sun and Rising sign -- or, Ascendant -- when you read or watch your horoscope.
The Sun is the core identity, the very essence of your basic vitality. When you pay attention to your Sun sign horoscope, you're getting valuable information about the general themes happening for you and everyone else who shares your Sun sign. This is both the beauty and the limitation of a Sun sign horoscope. How can millions of people have the same exact experience in a given day/week? Obviously this is not possible.
We all know that Sun sign forecasts are not 100% accurate. They can't be. A Sun sign forecast by its very nature is limited in scope and depth. Yes, you will learn about the themes happening in your world. For example, in the chart of every single Libra right now, there's a major pattern happening where close partnerships are going through a revolution, thanks to the transit of Uranus through Libra's 7th House of Partnership. Does this mean every married Libra will get divorced in the next few years? Or every single will marry? NO, that's just a silly assumption. What we do know though, is that Libra is going through a cycle now that demands personal revolution in his or her approach to relationship. How that plays out will greatly depend on each individual Libra's birth chart.
Enter, the importance of the Rising sign forecast. If you know the date, time, and location of your birth, your birth chart can show you which sign was rising in the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. This is the sign at the "9 o'clock" position of your birth chart, and it begins the entire chart. It's the cusp of the 1st house. The sign and degree of your Rising sign will help to determine the mathematical structure of the rest of your chart, but even if all you know is the sign, you'll have an immediate edge when reading or watching your horoscopes. Why?
When you read for your Rising sign, you have a more accurate reading of what trends are active in your life, because the timing will be more closely aligned to your true birth chart!
So does this negate the importance of your Sun sign forecast? Absolutely not! In fact, the best way to read or watch any horoscope is to blend the two forecasts together, fitting them into your current reality. The Sun sign horoscope will offer vital information about the general themes happening for you -- kind of like an overview. The Rising sign horoscope will flesh out the timing of when things will happen for you with greater accuracy.
You might see this in your forecast. Let's say your Sun was in Cancer and you had an Aries Rising. For Aries and Aries Rising individuals, Pluto, the planet of transformation, is now touring the 10th House of Career. Uranus in Aries could cause major shifts in how each Aries works through career changes and expresses individuality in the process. And yet the backdrop theme of having your Saturn in the 7th house of Partnerships as a Cancer Sun could mean that career transformations are a direct result of the strategic business alliances you're forming. Both forecasts would make sense, but the timing might be more precise in your Sun or Rising sign forecast!
You too can blend the meaning of your Sun sign and Rising sign forecast each day, week or month for a richer analysis. I hope this settles the question once and for all about why it's important to read/watch a horoscope for both your Sun and Rising sign.
