My boss just quit the job
Says he's going out to find blind spots
And he'll do it

The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped

Galactica 1980 Season 1 Episode 1

Galactica Discovers Earth (1)

Aired Sunday 8:00 PM Jan 27, 1980 on ABC

EPISODE RECAP

Commander Adama consults with the young prodigy Dr. Zee concerning the news that the fleet has at last found Earth. He is told that after coming so far, Earth does not appear to be technologically advanced enough to defend itself or protect the refugees from the Cylons. Dr. Zee tells him that not only can they not land, but they have in fact led the Cylons directly to Earth, the last human civilization.

Lieutenant Dillon passes children as he walks through some corridors. He enters a room and meets Captain Troy. He asks why Troy used to be called Boxey when he was young and see a photo of Troy's parents who are now gone.

Adama addresses an audience of senior officers. He tells them the information that Dr. Zee has gathered about Earth by monitoring transmissions. Dr. Zee shows them a video of Earth and teaches them of the pollution, followed by a simulation of Earth being attacked and destroyed by Cylon fighters. Adama explains that by landing, they would be dooming Earth as well as themselves. Xavier asks what they are to do now. Dr. Zee says that they have to wait for Earth to develop technologically, and that they can only nudge Earth to develop only slightly more than it would naturally. They will send down teams to secretly give technology to Earth scientists over time.

The American Presidency Project

Lyndon B. Johnson

XXXVI President of the United States: 1963-1969

117 - Remarks at the Dedication of the National Geographic Society Building.

January 18, 1964

Dr. Grosvenor, Mr. Chief Justice, members of the Society, my fellow Americans:

This is a very proud and happy occasion. In the homes of our land and in all lands around the world, the National Geographic Society and its magazine are old friends and a very welcome companion.

You have broadened the horizons and narrowed the misunderstandings of many generations--and you have helped us all to be better citizens of the world and better citizens of our times.

It is gratifying today to now join in welcoming the society and its magazine into this new and magnificent home. This imposing home for the National Geographic stands not as a monument to the past but as a testament of confidence in and enthusiasm for the future.

For free men, whatever land they may call home, these qualities are indispensable. The future is the special trust of the free. We are not likely to keep that trust or likely to keep our freedom unless we keep our confidence in the future and unless we maintain our enthusiasm for always meeting new challenges and new opportunities.

The last 4 centuries of human experience have been centuries of exploration, discovery, and advancement of the frontiers of man's knowledge. We of this strong and still developing young nation are more than any others children of those explorations.

America, as we know it, and freedom as we know it could well not exist tomorrow for either our children or their children if we should lose from our national life that confidence in the future and that enthusiasm for exploration which has brought us to this high moment of history and high moment of hope.

All the seas have been sailed and all the continents have been explored. The highest mountains have been scaled and the darkest jungles have been penetrated. We have reached into the realms of space and out toward the domain of the stars. Yet our work is not complete and our race is not yet won.

This generation of Americans is challenged to live a life of high adventure. If we are to keep our trust in freedom, we must in these last 4 decades of this century undertake explorations in many realms, realms which dwarf all those of the past 4 centuries.

We must participate in the high adventure of advancing man's knowledge of both the universe about us and the capacities within us.

We of this land must commit ourselves to a demanding life of dedicated participation in the forward movement of the times in which we live.

We are called to the greatest works that man has ever done. If we are to live as free men in a world of danger, we must explore for new and better ways to maintain our security without impairing our solvency.

If we are to live at peace in a world of peril, we must set forth to discover the secrets of peace just as we long ago discovered the awesome secrets of war and devastation.

If we are to live with pride in a world of decency, we must commit ourselves to removing from the earth the scars and scourge of human poverty and disease and ignorance and intolerance.

These works are not and can never be the works of one nation or one people alone. These works will be accomplished when they become the joint works and the common labors of nations and peoples everywhere.

If that is to come to pass, nations must have more than common forums in which to meet. They must have common enterprises on which they can work together for the common good.

We of the United States believe today, as we have long believed, that the realms of scientific explorations offer this opportunity for common enterprises and endeavors.

Scientific exploration and research knows no national boundaries. Human knowledge is never the captive of international blocs. Commonsense dictates that all nations lend their learning to other nations. This is a loan in which the science of all nations is the beneficiary, and the good of all mankind is advanced. The more that we share with each other, the less we misunderstand each other.

Today in this house of exploration, let us invite exploration by all nations, for all nations.

The only way to begin is to begin. What greater challenge can there be for the National Geographic Society to take the initiative in this endeavor. Why should not the National Geographic in this land and around the world serve as a clearing house for knowledge, to bring together men of science of every land, to share and to spread their knowledge and their talents. Where they begin, others will follow.

So, let us renew our hope that all nations with the interest and the capacity for scientific exploration unite in mutual enterprises of discovery to the benefit of their neighbor nations.

As the late beloved President Kennedy said one month before his death:

"Recent scientific advances have not only made international cooperation desirable, but they have made it essential. The ocean, the atmosphere, outer space, belong not to one nation or one ideology, but to all mankind .... "

This is the principle upon which we stand. Explorations and discoveries of centuries past were most often meant to serve the interest and the advantage of individual nations. Today, as we meet here, we believe that the explorations and the discoveries of decades ahead must be meant to serve the aspirations and the well-being of individual men in all nations.

This Nation is committed now to the most intensive effort ever made by any peoples to advance the frontiers of human knowledge. We shall remain committed. The cost of knowledge, whatever its price, is small against the price mankind has already paid throughout all history for his ignorance and for the darkness.

The United States shall welcome any who wish to join with us in seeking to serve the common good of mankind. But if others are not willing or if they are not able to join with us, our own endeavors will not slacken.

I will have more to say about that in the early part of the week, which I hope you will follow, in an exchange I have with some other nation.

With confidence in the future and in ourselves, with enthusiasm for the opportunities that the future presents to us; we therefore welcome the privilege of leading this century's great explorations to find a better life to build a better world for all the races of man.

So, in this spirit, then, it is my very proud privilege now, on this 18th day of January in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four to dedicate this beautiful new home of the great National Geographic Society: to the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge, to man's eternal quest for knowledge of earth, sea, and space.

Note: The President spoke at 4:30 p.m. at the new National Geographic Society building in Washington, D.C.

"Third Planet"

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I got this thing that I consider my only art
Of fucking people over

My boss just quit the job
Says he's going out to find blind spots
And he'll do it

The third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that can't be stopped
When you get to the promised land
You're gonna shake the eye's hand

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
Well, outside, naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflecting off the moon
And they become angels, fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

Well, a third had just been made
And we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then; was it a son, was it a daughter
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how

Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

Your heart felt good
It was drippin' pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees
Felt cold and wet on the grass beneath
Well, outside, naked, shivering, looking blue
From the cold sunlight that's reflecting off the moon
And they become angels, fly around you
Reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

Well, a third had just been made
And we were swimming in the water
Didn't know then; was it a son, was it a daughter
And it occurred to me that the animals are swimming
Around in the water in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found, another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the Atlantic, and how

Well, the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I got this thing that I consider my only art
Of fucking people over

Gates: Smile Would Have Helped, But He Told Truth

By James V. Grimaldi

Seattle Times Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON - Bill Gates said he wished he'd smiled more during his videotaped deposition taken before the Microsoft antitrust trial started


"I answered truthfully every single question that was put forth," Gates said. "You have to understand that Mr. Boies made it clear in the negotiations leading up to the case that he is really out to destroy Microsoft. He is really out to make all the good work we've done - and make us look very bad.

Ponder Smith's Deceit, Jury Told

The Jury That Convicted Susan Smith Of Murder Listened To Arguments On Deciding Her Punishment.


By New York Times


UNION, S.C. — While the authorities searched for her young sons, Susan Smith watched herself lie to the nation on a taped television newscast, and even smiled at the television screen, a counselor who had come to help her testified Monday in the penalty phase of Smith's capital murder trial.

The counselor, Margaret Frierson, recalled that Smith's incongruous smile occurred during the final days of her nine days of lies, as news reporters were beginning to speculate that Smith might be involved in the disappearance that she had blamed on a carjacker.

''The family was outraged,'' said Frierson, who works in the Columbia, S.C., office of the Adam Walsh Foundation, a center for missing and exploited children. ''I just seemed to notice Susan smiling to herself as she watched herself on television.''

United States Marshals Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is a federal law enforcement agency within the U.S. Department of Justice (28 U.S.C. § 561). It is the oldest American federal law enforcement agency and was created by the Judiciary Act of 1789 during the presidency of George Washington as the Office of the United States Marshal. The USMS as it stands today was established in 1969 to provide guidance and assistance to Marshals throughout the federal judicial districts. USMS is an agency of the United States executive branch reporting to the United States Attorney-General but serves as the enforcement arm of the United States federal courts to ensure the effective operation of the judiciary and integrity of the constitution.

The Marshals Service is the primary agency for fugitive operations

STS-82 Day 5 Highlights


On Saturday, February 15, 1997, 5:00 p.m. CST, STS-82 MCC Status Report # 10 reports:

With two spacewalks complete, the STS-82 crew has met the minimum success criteria for the second Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, but still has plenty of work left to do.

Tonight, astronauts Mark Lee and Steve Smith will leave the crew cabin for their second spacewalk of the flight. Lee and Smith are scheduled to install a new Data Interface Unit in HST and swap out a science and engineering tape recorder with a new solid state recorder. Unlike the older reel-to-reel recorder, the new digital recorder has no reels, no tape or moving parts to wear out and unlimited lifetime. Data is digitally stored in computer-like memory chips until HST's operators at the Goddard Space Flight Center play it back.

Warren G. Harding

XXIX President of the United States: 1921 - 1923

Address at the Dedication of the Lincoln Memorial

May 30, 1922


He resented no calumnies upon himself; he held no man his enemy who had the power and will to serve the union, his vision was blinded by no jealousy. He took his advisers from among his rivals, invoked their patriotism and ignored their plottings. He dominated them by the sheer greatness of his intellect, the singleness and honesty of his purpose, and made them responsive to his hand for the accomplishment of the exalted purpose. Amid it all there was a gentleness, a kindness, a sympathetic sorrow, which suggest a divine intent to blend mercy, with power in supreme attainment.
