The Manchurian Candidate (2004) Movie Script
(from internet transcript)
MARCO: It was just before Desert Storm. We were on a routine recon inside Iraqi-controlled terrain, assessing enemy troop strength for what Saddam Hussein promised would be the mother of all wars. I'm in the lead vehicle with Sergeant Shaw and our guide, a civilian contractor. The night is clear. Stars, but no moon.

Then and now: Construction, redesign of Riverfront Park
Mon., July 24, 2017
By Jesse Tinsley
In the early 1960s, business and city leaders believed that Spokane needed something to bring it out of its funk. The economy was stagnant. Railroads were still shipping, but passenger service had declined. The downtown seemed dingy and industrial. Culturally, Spokane seemed stuck in the past.
King Cole, hired by the booster group Spokane Unlimited, championed the idea of a world’s fair, but most people were skeptical.
Would the Bureau International des Expositions in Paris award the annual fair to a place like Spokane, the smallest city ever to host such a fair? Where would the money come from?
And the biggest question: How could the city get the railroads to move their infrastructure so the area around the falls and the river could be renovated into a parklike landscape?
Organizer Cole, knowing there was no money to pay for it, asked the railroads to estimate the cost of removing the rails and moving all traffic to the rail corridor between First and Second avenues.
With chins held high and their pockets empty, delegations of boosters visited railroad headquarters in Minneapolis and New York City, asking, cajoling and pleading with railroad executives to make it happen. During these negotiations, the four main rail companies merged into two, and after many months of negotiations, the companies relented.
The business community reluctantly endorsed a small-business and occupations tax of $5.7 million to underwrite the changes.
The transformation of the area started around 1970, but as the date came closer, the work seemed endless, and most of those peering through the fence at the progress could not imagine that it would open on time.
But on May 4, 1974, President Richard Nixon declared the fair to be open, and millions came to Spokane to visit. Before the summer’s end, the embattled president had resigned, but Spokane had gained a new national, perhaps international, standing.
Today, the space is being redesigned again to update the facilities and reconfigure the public spaces

This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers, not only in this Island but in every land, who will render faithful service in this war, but whose names will never be known, whose deeds will never be recorded. This is a War of the Unknown Warriors - Winston Churchill, London, England, July 14, 1940

Q: Speaking of dreams, you’ve said something about dreams before. It was something to the effect of waking up in the morning, thinking about that dream and going for it.
A: “Most of us have dreams that are pretty lofty and so far from where we’re starting at, and so it can seem overwhelming. And so it’s kind of moving the mountain one teaspoon at a time. But it’s waking up every morning if you have a dream and just doing one thing that day to get you a little bit closer, and the culmination of all those small actions really can take you to incredible places. I still am just breathless when I go back to my old high school and my old grade schools here in Spokane and realize, wow, all those little decisions actually did get me to where I am. It’s hard trying to communicate to those kids, just wake up, you can change the course of your life with small decisions every single day, and just start doing it, start working toward it.”

Clock ticks as SpaceX builds craft for NASA

Two weeks ago, the head of NASA seemed sick of waiting for SpaceX and Boeing Co. to finish developing the capsules that are supposed to carry U.S. astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
As SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk unleashed fanfare about his passion project — preparing to unveil SpaceX's Starship Mars spaceship prototype — NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine took a rare public jab at him, tweeting that the Commercial Crew program "is years behind schedule" and that his agency "expects to see the same level of enthusiasm focused on the investments of the American taxpayer."
On Thursday, he put a happier face on the situation, standing next to Musk at SpaceX's Hawthorne headquarters

NASA and SpaceX hope for manned mission to ISS in early 2020
SpaceX could launch US astronauts to the International Space Station as early as next year if tests on the company's long-delayed Crew Dragon capsule prove conclusive, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said Thursday.
Bridenstine made the announcement as he toured the California headquarters of billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX, a major contractor for NASA.
The visit came as Bridenstine and Musk have been engaged in a public spat over the much-delayed building of the Crew Dragon spacecraft.

Saddam talks to hostages on Iraqi TV/Troops ready to surround embassies
Houston Chronicle News Services
THU 08/23/1990
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
NICOSIA, Cyprus - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, in a tape from Iraq televised today, talked to a group of Western children and adults in his office in an apparent attempt to show the hostages were not being mistreated.
He told the group of Westerners, some believed to be British, that "your presence here and other other places is meant to prevent war."
The talk was broadcast by Cable News Network, which said it was a tape of the meeting. It was not known when the meeting took place.
Saddam was shown sitting in a business suit, patting the Western children on the head. He was surrounded by army officers and an interviewer who provided some translation of the conversation.
One of the officers also repeatedly stroked the head of one child as Saddam spoke to the boy. The grim-faced boys were dresssed in shorts and T-shirts. Saddam talked briefly with them about playing sports.
The Iraqi TV broadcast gave Saddam an unusual forum to repeat the Iraqi position.
A group of adults sat around the room, and also spoke with Saddam through an interpreter. Saddam asked them for forgiveness for keeping them there.
"Your presence here will not be for too long," he said.
"Your presence here is not a source of pleasure for us. This does not make us happy. What would make us happy would be to see you back in your countries or back in the streets of Baghdad (as in normal times)," Saddam said.
Saddam appeared relaxed as he spoke with a boy, identified only as Ian, 7. Saddam asked the boy if he was getting enough milk and food. The child, through an interpreter, said he was getting enough milk and cornflakes.
It was then that Saddam giggled, and turning to an aide in military uniform, he said in Arabic: "He is getting more than our Iraqi children."

Exercising. Science experiments. And, of course, selfies. All 250 miles above the Earth’s surface.
“Slightly terrifying selfies,” McClain said as a picture she took of herself outside the International Space Station earlier this year was beamed onto a projector. “You actually have to let go of the space station for a little while to take a picture of yourself, because it takes two hands, but it’s a keeper.”

Just a few minutes ago, a new sense of awareness formed in my mind, after something I heard on the live tv news broadcast.
I have credible reason to believe that I hear sometimes those people speaking words, they're reading from the teleprompter, written there by person unknown, and the words they speak sometimes are echoes, credibly, of what I am working on at that same time, here on my desk computer, working on posting soon afterwards.

Astronaut Anne McClain shares space stories, urges students to rise above challenges in Gonzaga Prep speech
UPDATED: Thu., Oct. 10, 2019, 7:17 p.m.
By Kip Hill
Four months after her return to Earth, the 1997 graduate of the private Catholic high school in Spokane offered students a speech that was part road trip diary and part self-deprecating motivational speech intended to inspire students to follow their passions. In doing so, the Army lieutenant colonel steered clear of controversy sparked earlier this week, when several local schools indicated they wouldn’t be attending her presentation.
Instead, McClain focused on the purpose of her mission aboard the orbiting vessel – which she described as “about the size of a five-bedroom house” – and her path to getting there in December. That included a joke intended for all the Bullpups in the crowd.
“I was nervous. I was excited. I was unsettled. I was proud,” McClain said of her time at the school. “No one ever came up to me and asked for my autograph because I was an astronaut, and certainly no one ever came up to me with a microphone and asked me to share my thoughts.
“The scariest thing I’d ever done in life was hand in an English paper to someone with the last name of ‘Birrer,’” McClain quipped, referring to instructor Christian Birrer, who’s still the head of the department at G Prep, to laughter from the audience.
McClain described her spacewalks, which were the source of headlines in March, when the first planned all-female jaunt in orbit was canceled over concerns about space suits. McClain called them “the biggest pressure we had” during her time on the station, when she shared quarters with five other astronauts.
“Doing spacewalks is the ultimate team event, when you are ultimately as isolated as possible,” McClain said.
Temperatures during the walks fluctuated hundreds of degrees when the astronauts were in direct, scorching sunlight and obscured in the blackness of space, McClain said. The metal they would work with on the outside of the station would expand and contract instantaneously as temperatures soared to 200 degrees or plummeted to 200 below, she said.
McClain also had to overcome some personal limitations, which was part of her message to students to find more bravery in themselves in the face of fear, rather than giving up.
“I am no more coordinated in space than I am on Earth,” McClain said. “Which is not coordinated. My mom actually signed me up for ballet class when I was in fifth or sixth grade, here in Spokane, downtown, and when she went back to sign me up the second season, the teacher said, ‘Have you thought about soccer?’”
There was time for fun in space, too. McClain showed pictures of a game the crew played on Easter. Rather than hiding eggs, McClain ferreted away packages of coffee from a supply drop, which she described as valuable as gold on the space station. She hid the packets all over the station, and her crew mates searched for them on Sunday with Ziploc bags in tow.
Students at Gonzaga Prep have been following McClain’s trip from the launch in December to her return from orbit in June. That included a chat via satellite with her in the midst of her mission in May.
Senior Ryan Blevins said Thursday’s talk offered a more personal look at McClain’s time in space.
“To see her face-to-face, it felt more human, more personal,” said Blevins. “To see her, and she walked these halls. She was actually here. I thought that was cool.”
“She also focused a lot more on people connections, and how we interact with others,” said junior Zachary Round.
McClain said she was concerned when she returned to Earth and came across people who didn’t say hello to her on the street, after living in such tight quarters in space.
“For the past seven months, every single person I passed greeted me and said, ‘Hello,’ and tried to make my life easier,” said McClain, who is reportedly among NASA’s possible picks for the next moon mission.
She urged students in the audience to consider how they responded to those around them, and to be their own moral compass, rather than looking to social media or others for what is right and wrong.
Above all, she said, it’s important not to let the insecurities of your youth define who you can be.
“I think it’s easy in high school to think we have to get rid of all of these doubts in order to be successful in life,” McClain said. “I’m here to tell you, actually, that all those doubts that you have at the back of your mind, that you carry with you in high school, they’re going to be with you your entire life.
“The key is, what do you do anyway?” she said.

Excursion Spokane, 10/04/2019 - Part 2: Theory of Synchronization
Unlike most, almost all, of my excursions in the past, this experiment was based on my work on the code pattern *before* I left. I chose this day because it was in the near future and because the weather reports suggested a good day to get away from this desk and into the field for another round of experimentation.
Initially, my plan was to travel into downtown Spokane to Riverfront Park and the Fountain that *I* have here *made* world-famous and to just look around and wait for something interesting to happen.
Days earlier, mostly on October 2nd, I got the idea to check the pattern for certain associations compelling to me personally.
The idea, as always, is to go out there and to see what I see.
The results are often compelling to me.
The results are obviously *not* compelling to the so-called "fans" of Stargate, and their ilk.
Why?
Because this is about *me*.
They're not fans of Stargate.
They're fans of their own personal ego.
All Stargate does is give them something to talk about themselves. As with any religion or similar idiotic "spirituality", people want to find meaning to their lives because their lives are pointless and meaningless and pathetic. They delude themselves into finding meaning in anything that has *absolutely nothing* to do with them personally.
All I've done is to *prove* that Stargate was *never* about them. Never was. *Never* will be. You people could have your best day for a continuous thousand years and you will still be a million years away from have even the slightest, remotest, vaguest, glimmer of an original idea in your monkey heads.
Stargate *never* was about you. Stargate *never* will be about you.
Stargate is about what all United States Americans *hate*: another United States American and who is a real person and who is *better* than you.

Gaius Baltar: What exactly are you saying?
Number Six (Cylon secret agent): Humanity's children are returning home. Today. (Outside the window, there's a bright flash of light on the horizon.)
(Galactica. Caption: Galactica Starboard Landing Bay, Decommissioning Ceremony)
Doral: I'd like to thank you all again for being here today, and Elosha, thank you very much for those wonderful words. Next is a ceremonial fly-by by the last Galactica battle squadron led by Captain Lee Adama. (Music play, ships fly over, people applaud.) And now it is my great pleasure to introduce the last commander of the Battlestar Galactica, Commander Adama. (applause)
Adama: Thank you very much. The Cylon War is long over, yet we must not forget the reasons why so many sacrificed so much in the cause of freedom. The cost of wearing the uniform can be high, but... (pauses) Sometimes it's too high. You know, when we fought the Cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question: why? Why are we as a people worth saving? We still commit murder, because of greed, spite, jealousy, and we still visit all of our sins upon our children. (we hear the voiceover in Apollo's ship) We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done. Like we did with the Cylons. We decided to play god, create life. (We see Starbuck listening in her cell.) When that life turned against us, we comforted ourselves in the knowledge that it really wasn't our fault, not really. You cannot play god, then wash your hands of the things that you've created. Sooner or later, the day comes when you can't hide from the things that you've done anymore.

KREM Channel 2 CBS News Spokane
Full interview: NASA Astronaut Anne McClain on her trip to space
Spokane native and NASA Astronaut Anne McClain sat down with KREM 2's Jane McCarthy to talk about going to space, returning from the ISS and visiting her alma mater.

NASA Astronaut Anne McClain sat down with KREM 2’s Jane McCarthy Friday morning before receiving a YWCA Women of Achievement Award in Spokane for her recent expedition to the International Space Station.
Q: So you were staying with your mom. Tell me about when you came in and what was happening in the city.
A: “Well we came in and I kind of got a little bit of a clue before we got here. My mom said, ‘I think it’s going to be cold.’ And then it rained that first night, and then that first night was the night we woke up and it may as well have been December. Then the power went out, but Avista got it back on, so thank you!.”
Q: You spoke yesterday at your alma mater. Tell me about that.
A: “You know, it’s always really fun going back, and I think the experience is probably the same for all of us. When we go back to where we came from and the roots because inside we’re still the same people. We still have all the same hopes and ambitions and doubts and fears, and the emotions of going back to your own school, it’s like, for me I just have to pinch myself that I’m not still one of the students sitting on the bleachers. But I also know that for me, when I was sitting on the bleachers, all of my dreams seemed so far away. And so whatever I can do to try to reach out to those students and make them realize that the world really is within their grasp, like they really can go do it. That’s the message I really want to get across from them and it’s just so special for me to be able to share that with schools that I went to.”
Q: Were there any kind of funny questions that kids asked?
A: “We get all sorts of fun questions of course. Everybody wants to know how we eat in space or the fun things that we do in space or how we use the restroom in space – those are all kind of the fun questions. I did tell a funny story about the first time I tried to take a picture of Spokane and I wasn’t used to how fast we go in the space station, and this was the first week that I was up there, and I was looking down telling my crew mate, ‘I’m trying to take a picture of Spokane.’ And he said, ‘Well is it in Minnesota? Because that’s where we are.’ And I was, oh my goodness we were just over Seattle three minutes ago, now we’re over in Minnesota. So I had to get used to it a little bit, but I did get some shots of Spokane that I shared.”
Q: What was the most surprising thing on the space station?
A: “A lot of people ask us how our perspective changes on the space station, and I think it’s such a deeply personal question that is so different for everybody. For me personally, what was amazing was – you know the distance and being off of the Earth and be able to physically look back on our environment was one thing, but what really struck me and what I feel like I’m taking away from it is working with people. We worked with people all over the world. My life was literally dependent on people from other cultures, other countries, live on the other side of the world that I’d never met, yet my life was in their hands and I’m sitting here today. So everybody did their jobs and everybody that I talked to and everybody that I work with was there to try and make my life a little bit easier and I tried to make their life a little bit easier. What we could accomplish when we wake up in the morning and just try to do the right thing, try to make life easier for somebody else, it really is incredible. That is the strength of the space program is the international cooperation and to me, it’s so humbling. And so when I come back, that’s another thing I talk to the kids in Spokane about was like, listen it’s not just what you do, but it’s how you do it. What kind of teammate are you? What kind of friend are you? What kind of person are you? If everybody was like you, would the world be a better place? That’s really what I came back with from my mission.”
Q: Do you have a different perspective now?
A: “What I feel like I came back with was, first of all, how exciting exploration is. We really worked on the edge of what humans are capable of. We worked on the International Space Station, I lived for six and a half months in a space station, which is an environment which humans are not supposed to exist in – yet there we are. Living and working and learning and developing new technologies for Earth. So that was an amazing perspective – just the excitement of how much more we can do. I think that was kind of the biggest thing for me to take, was just working with other people, accomplishing this amazing mission, and then coming back here and really wanting to spread the mission. Like, I feel so connected to everybody on Earth now. I told this other funny story that when I got back it was like, I was visiting this planet from another planet and all of my 39 years of experience that I had before my flight were gone and I was looking at everything with fresh eyes. And I distinctly remember the first day that I was allowed to drive again, I went out and I stopped at a coffee shop. I was walking into the coffee shop and this person passed me, and I was still not used to just passing random people. It was like, something that I was really aware of, and I was so happy to see her and I smiled and I looked and she didn’t even say hi, and I remember standing there for a minute, kind of in shock and thinking, she didn’t even say hi, that’s so weird. It was just these little interactions that I was really aware of. Hopefully maybe what I can spread is just like, hey we’re all people, we’re all just on this spaceship Earth, trying to do the right thing and we’re all in it together. I really feel a familial connection with every human I meet now.”
Q: Does the Earth seem smaller to you now?
A: “The Earth does seem smaller to me, and I think we traveled so much in preparation for this flight and we interacted with people all around the Earth on a daily basis and we saw 90 percent of the Earth every single day. We were going over 17,000 miles-per-hour, we did 16 orbits every single day, every 45 minutes there was a sunrise or a sunset. We were around the Earth fairly quickly. We saw the auroras in Antarctica and then 20 minutes later you’re looking over Australia and Japan and so you do realize how interconnected we all are and from where we were in the space station looking back at Earth, was actually hard to comprehend that on this little globe you see is everything that ever meant anything to you. And it’s everything that’s ever meant anything to everybody – is on that Earth. History and your family and your ancestors and it’s just so amazing to see it with your eyeballs. But I felt really connected and close to Earth, like when I was out on the spacewalk, people say, well did you feel so far away? To me, it was just the opposite because when I looked at Earth it was right there. We’re holding onto the space station, I can see Earth but when I look the other direction, it was the most infinite forever that you can possibly imagine. And I felt very connected to Earth by this invisible thing called gravity, luckily, that holds up. I felt like, an ownership over the Earth and really a part of it and I wish everybody could have that experience.”
Q: I know you were working, but will any vacation ever compare?
A: “It’s funny because I’ve never really been a risk-taker, in our job it looks very risky but actually we’re professional risk-mitigators, and so I don’t even have a desire to go on roller-coasters anymore right now, but I really enjoy just the peace and the tranquility of nature. When I’ve come back, I want to go walking through the trees and just sit there and look at the backyard, and Spokane is such a great area for that. I mean, is there a city as beautiful as Spokane? Of course, I’m bias, but it’s so nice to be here in nature and just the stillness and the calmness on Earth is just something that I really appreciate.”
Q: Is there anywhere in particular you look forward to visiting, or going out to dinner?
A: “It’s interesting – a lot of astronauts say, ok, what got put on your bucket list after you saw it from space? Because for everybody, something catches their eye for whatever reason on Earth that they had never seen or never been to before. A lot of astronauts after their flight travel all over the world to go just look at this one island they saw, or to go look at this one crater they saw. For me, it’s actually not that far. One of my favorite things to photograph and to see and to fly over that just gave me chills was the Great Lakes. They are absolutely beautiful from space, and I’ve never been there. So that is definitely on my short-list of places that I want to go soon. It’s really incredible – when we fly up from Houston in the space station, obviously we’re going pretty quickly and then as soon as you get over Houston, you can look up and it’s just like the Great Lakes – there’s this huge, the Finger Lakes and the northern half is just snowcapped and naturally beautiful, and then the bottom half you can see Chicago, Detroit and all the other cities in there, but they are so beautiful from space and I can’t wait to go there in person.”
Q: What’s the hardest thing to get used to when you’re back?
A: “Earth is very complicated. It’s very busy and there’s a lot of energy and there’s a lot to do everyday, it’s very stimulating. So I think for me, the hardest thing to get used to – you know, we were gone for six and a half months, we were living in a very small area, I had two crew mates for half that time and then I had five crew mates, so a total of six people. So when you get back to Earth, the first thing I noticed was how busy everything was. There’s cars everywhere, there’s information everywhere, there’s phones and emails and calls and people talking to you. It’s this sensory overload that we have all really gotten used to. I got used to that relatively quickly. Physical adjustments are probably the longest lingering effects on the body. Micro-gravity is a very harsh-environment for your body, and actually micro-gravity itself isn’t, but the adjustment between gravity and micro-gravity is hard on your body. So when you come back from space after there’s really been no forces on your body, it’s kind of easier in space once your body adjusts that you don’t get sore muscles, you don’t get hotspots when you sleep, your back stretches out. I grew two inches in orbit. And then that all went away within two days. So coming back to gravity and having the weight on your legs, it probably took about three months for me to be able to run without feeling like there was weights on my legs because your muscles aren’t used to actually having to lift your legs up. In the immediate time, and this is one of the considerations for when we start doing the Mars missions, is we’re going to fly crews for a really long time to get there and then they’re going to perform spacewalks on the surface of Mars – one of the effects we have when we come back to Earth is, we have orthostatic issues. It’s like our systems forget how to pump blood back up to our heads. So if I had landed and just started running right away, I probably would have passed out because all of the blood would have pooled in my legs. So developing the counter-measures for those physical effects for long duration, planetary missions is one of the big things that NASA and others are trying to figure out right now.”
Q: We have that video of you getting out of the space station. Do you remember what was going through your mind?
A: “The landing itself was the best roller coaster ride I have ever been on in my life. I heard that it was a mix of the spinning cups at the fair, a roller coaster and sitting inside of a washing machine. And it didn’t disappoint, it was incredible. Part of the excitement of when I got out was what we had just been through the last 30 minutes, and trying to wrap your mind around the fact that a few minutes ago we were just floating in outer space, we just came through the plasma layer, we slammed on the brakes and slowed our vehicle down from 17,000 mile-an-hour to sitting on the surface of the Earth in gravity , these parachutes deployed perfectly after being up in the harsh environment of space for seven months, and then all of a sudden it was the first time we had seen people other than each other for so long. It was just such an overwhelming experience that, hey, we just did this thing, we just did this mission, and we did it together. I was with David, who’s a Canadian, I was with Oleg, a Russian, and the three of us just did this together. It was just so fun to come back to Earth, because it just felt like home. It looked like I was in a field in the middle of nowhere but there were people and faces that I felt like, were my family and I was on this planet that I now felt like was mine and it was just so exciting.”
Q: Was there anything scary about coming back?
A: “I didn’t feel any fear coming back. Same with launch. I think I had a lot of years as a test pilot before that. So you really are able to just kind of let go of any of those emotions and just focus on what we’re doing. Coming back, the vehicle, the way it’s designed, you have very little interaction with it. Unlike launch, when we were constantly monitoring multiple systems and interacting with the systems and really having to follow our procedures – once you come back and once you’re under the parachute, you’re really just waiting. So you have kind of this 15 minutes before you land, after the parachute had opened to really just take it all in and just sit there and look around that vehicle and just know, none of us know if we’re going to go back, and you’re just trying to carve in your mind every memory, every vision – what it looks like out the window, what it feels like to sit in those seats. It’s a pretty incredible experience."
Q: What’s next for you?
A: “So, I’m still in my recovery period –“
Q: How long is that?
A: “About six months, and that includes a lot of different outreach, medical experiments – a lot of the things we did on orbit are still going on here on Earth. So I still work with a lot of the scientists to finish up some of the experiments and testing that they did on my body and on some other aspects of flight. Our office right now, it’s actually really exciting and really busy time at NASA. We are looking at launching a commercial crew vehicle up to the space station, SpaceX and Boeing, within the next six months, so we’re helping their crews now. We are usually either in the mode of us getting ready to fly, or we’re getting each other ready to fly, so I’ll immediately go back into a support role and get my crew mates up to have their space adventures. Then NASA’s going to put boots on the moon by 2024 with the Artemis program. So a large chunk of us are going to be working on the test and development of those programs.”
Q: Might there be another space trip for you or is it kind of like, we need to rotate?
A: “Both. We need to rotate, but with all the folks that are going to be flying up to the space station on the commercial crew vehicles, the seats that we’re going to get on the Artemis program on Orion, and then we’re still going to be flying on the Russian Soyez – we’re going to be trading them seats so that every time a commercial crew vehicle launches, we’re still going to launching with our Russian crew mates to keep that international cooperation going. So there’s plenty of seats out there, but there’s usually a lull of three to five years between flights. So I’m going to look forward to the downtime, enjoying planet Earth and hoping my crew mates get up there. Right now, as we speak, two of my closest friends are out on the spacewalk, and I’ve got six friends up there at the space station right now and it’s so incredible to watch other people achieve their dreams and get to experience it. Incredibly jealous looking up at them, but definitely looking forward to my next flight.”
Q: Speaking of dreams, you’ve said something about dreams before. It was something to the effect of waking up in the morning, thinking about that dream and going for it.
A: “Most of us have dreams that are pretty lofty and so far from where we’re starting at, and so it can seem overwhelming. And so it’s kind of moving the mountain one teaspoon at a time. But it’s waking up every morning if you have a dream and just doing one thing that day to get you a little bit closer, and the culmination of all those small actions really can take you to incredible places. I still am just breathless when I go back to my old high school and my old grade schools here in Spokane and realize, wow, all those little decisions actually did get me to where I am. It’s hard trying to communicate to those kids, just wake up, you can change the course of your life with small decisions every single day, and just start doing it, start working toward it.”
Q: Being here, at the YWCA, why is this an important event for you to attend?
A: “The YWCA is an incredible organization that does so many things for our society and recognizing the achievements of accomplished women from every facet of life. The thing I’m most excited about today is just meeting the other nine awardees – I’ve read all of their bios, I’ve read about them, I can’t wait to shake their hands. It really speaks to the power of what passionate women can do to chase their dreams no matter what that passion is. We have professors, we have police officers, we have judges, so whatever your passion is, whatever gift you’ve been given, share it with the world, despite any doubts, despite any barriers you think are there. If you think there’s barriers, than take them down. I’m really excited to meet the other nine women, and just to be included in a group of such accomplished women is really humbling to me."

John Mauchly
AMERICAN PHYSICIST AND ENGINEER
WRITTEN BY: The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica
John Mauchly, in full John William Mauchly, also called John W. Mauchly, (born August 30, 1907, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.—died January 8, 1980, Ambler, Pennsylvania), American physicist and engineer, coinventor in 1946, with John P. Eckert, of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the first general-purpose electronic computer.
After completing his education, Mauchly entered the teaching profession, eventually becoming an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. During World War II Mauchly and Eckert, a graduate engineer, were asked to devise ways to accelerate the recomputation of artillery firing tables for the U.S. Army. They accordingly proposed the construction of a general-purpose digital computer that would handle data in coded form, and by 1946 they completed the ENIAC, a huge machine (containing more than 18,000 vacuum tubes) that incorporated features developed by J.V. Atanasoff. The ENIAC was first used by the U.S. Army at its Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland in 1947 for ballistics tests.
The following year Mauchly and Eckert formed a computer-manufacturing firm, and in 1949 they announced the Binary Automatic Computer (BINAC), which used magnetic tape instead of punched cards. In 1950 the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation was acquired by Remington Rand, Inc. (later Sperry Rand Corporation), Mauchly becoming director of special projects. The third computer after BINAC was UNIVAC I, specially designed to handle business data. Mauchly continued his work in the computer field, winning many honours. He served as president (1959–65) and chairman of the board (1965–69) of Mauchly Associates, Inc., and as president of Dynatrend Inc. (1968–80) and of Marketrend Inc. (1970–80).

ANCIENT SHIP. Lieutenant Scott and the others have returned to the Gateroom. Sergeant Greer and some other military people are checking the supply of weapons. Scott calls for everyone's attention.
SCOTT: OK, listen up. Everybody who is able, we are gonna search this ship, top to bottom. Teams of three.
(He goes over to Greer and speaks quietly.)
SCOTT: Weapons?
GREER: Twenty-three, including handguns.
SCOTT: One per group?
GREER: Yeah.
(Unnoticed by anyone, Doctor Nicholas Rush has found the bag that Colonel Young brought through and is unzipping it to reveal the metal case inside.)
SCOTT (to the crowd): Flashlights, radios only when necessary. Once those batteries are dead, they are dead. Regular check-ins with Doctor Rush in the Control Room every ten minutes and keep in mind, as far as we know, this bucket is really freakin' old

Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
On November 10, 1975, an ore carrier sank in Lake Superior during a November storm, taking the lives of all 29 crew members. Later that month, Gordon Lightfoot (main page) - inspired by an article in Newsweek Magazine - wrote what is probably his most famous song: Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald (song clip). He wrote the song as a tribute to the ship, the sea, and the men who lost their lives that night. When asked recently what he thought his most significant contribution to music was, he said it was this song. In spite of its unlikely subject matter, it climbed to #2 on the Billboard pop charts and it remains one the most stirring topical ballads ever written and a highlight of every Lightfoot concert.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they called "Gitche Gumee."
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
when the skies of November turn gloomy.
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,
that good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
when the "Gales of November" came early.
The ship was the pride of the American side
coming back from some mill in Wisconsin.
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
with a crew and good captain well seasoned,
concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
when they left fully loaded for Cleveland.
And later that night when the ship's bell rang,
could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
and a wave broke over the railing.
And ev'ry man knew, as the captain did too
'twas the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
when the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
in the face of a hurricane west wind.
When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'.
"Fellas, it's too rough t'feed ya."
At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in; he said,
"Fellas, it's bin good t'know ya!"
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
and the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when 'is lights went outta sight
came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Does any one know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind 'er.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
they may have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
in the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
the islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
with the Gales of November remembered.
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
in the "Maritime Sailors' Cathedral."
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee."
"Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead
when the gales of November come early!"

People say, "What are you doing in the long term? We know what you're doing in the short term. We can hear you and see you; you're sending troops after the killers. What about the long-term plan against terrorists?" Free societies do not breed terrorism. Free societies are peaceful nations. What we're doing for the long term, we're promoting freedom.

Rumsfeld quitting; will be replaced by former CIA head
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – President Bush said today that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was resigning and named former CIA Director Robert Gates to replace him at the Pentagon.
Bush seemed stoic about the election, proclaiming: "This isn't my first rodeo."

Stung!
A swarm of new media stories on young George W. Bush's dereliction of duty pops his heroic-leadership bubble.
BY ERIC BOEHLERT
TOPICS: GEORGE W. BUSH, TEXAS, NEWS
On Feb. 13, as controversy swirled around President Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, the White House released more than 400 pages of documents on the press corps, proving, it claimed, that Bush had served honorably and fulfilled his commitment. The sudden rush of records, often redundant, jumbled and out of chronological order, generally left reporters baffled. From Bush’s point of view, the document dump was a political success, as the controversy cooled and the paper trail ran dry.
In retrospect, it’s doubtful that even White House aides understood all the information embedded in the records, specifically the payroll documents. It’s also unlikely they realized how damaging the information could be when read in the proper context. Seven months later, the document dump is coming back to haunt the White House, thanks to researcher Paul Lukasiak, who has spent that time closely examining the paperwork, and more important, analyzing U.S. statutory law, Department of Defense regulations, and Air Force policies and procedures of the 1960s and 1970s. As a result, Lukasiak arrived at the overwhelming conclusion that not only did Bush walk away from his final two years of military obligation, coming dangerously close to desertion, but he attempted to cover up his absenteeism through swindle and fraud.
Lukasiak’s findings, detailed on his Web site the AWOL Project, have since been bolstered and augmented by independent research by the Boston Globe and the Associated Press. On Wednesday, CBS News reported what may be among the most damaging details yet: that Bush’s squadron commander, the late Col. Jerry Killian, complained he was being pressured by higher-ups to give Bush a favorable evaluation after he suspended him from flying for failure to take his annual physical exam. Titled “CYA,” Killian’s memo concluded, “I’m having trouble running interference and doing my job.”

RONALD REAGAN
40th President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Statement on Federal Audiovisual Aids and Publications
April 20, 1981
Today, I'm asking the heads of all Federal departments and agencies to impose an immediate moratorium on the production and procurement of new audiovisual aids and Government publications. The Federal Government is spending too much money on public relations, publicity, and advertising. Much of this waste consists of unnecessary and expensive films, magazines, and pamphlets.

He would have to know or learn all of this... in order to fool us as you assume he did.
Now... do you really think that a man... who takes this kind of time and precision... then goes and types these up on Microsoft Word?

I remember when this miniseries premiered on television in December 2003. I was stressed out about people following me but I enjoyed my work as an Application Development Consultant in Microsoft Premier Support. I had a very interesting project going on around that time that I hoped would lead to a job in the Visual Basic product team and I was using Microsoft.Net with Visual Basic to convert Microsoft Word documents to a different format. The customer had a lot of files to convert and there was a lot of detail associated with my efforts to automate the conversion process. The software I crafted would convert as a batch the documents and would not require users to do any manual conversions, which was a feature the customer requested.

Intel introduces the Intel 4004 microprocessor
Intel offered Busicom a lower price for the chips in return for securing the rights to the microprocessor design and the rights to market it for non-calculator applications. Busicom, in financial trouble, agreed.
The Intel ad in the November 15, 1971 issue of Electronic News introduced the Intel 4004 microprocessor and declared "Announcing a new era of integrated electronics." That programmable chip, the Intel 4004, became the first general-purpose microprocessor on the market

(from internet transcript)
(Ragnar Anchorage - Adama and Leoben are in some sort of room with lots of pipes and steam. Leoben is extremely pale and sweaty now.)
Leoben: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?
Adama: Must be your allergies.
Leoben: I don't have allergies.
Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.
Leoben: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge, that's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack. Right, well, that's not enough Adama. I've been here for hours. Once they find you, it won't take them that long to destroy you. They'll be in and out before they even get a headache.
Adama: Maybe. (He grabs Leoben, pushes him up against the wall.) But you, you won't find out, because you'll be dead in a few minutes. How does that make you feel? If you can feel.
Leoben: Oh, I can feel more than you could ever conceive of, Adama. But I won't die. When this body dies, my consciousness will be transferred to another one. And when that happens, (he collapses to the ground with a groan) I think I'll tell the others exactly where you are, and I think that they'll come, and they'll kill all of you. And I'll be here watching it happen.
Adama: You know what I think? I think if you could have transferred out of here, you woulda done it long before now. I think the storm's radiation really clogged up your connection. You're not going anywhere. You're stuck in that body.
Leoben: Doesn't matter. Sooner or later, (he smiles)

Details about my recent sleep are very fuzzy today. Can't remember for sure when I woke up. 3 am maybe. Or maybe shortly after midnight, can't really remember as I usually can. Remember dreaming something about driving my Jeep. Then I returned to it where it was parked in a parking lot after I was traveling through some passageways, hallways in a transit facility maybe. The only part I remember clearly is where a woman, I assume was my imaginary girlfriend asked me out for drinks or something. I told her we needed to keep it really casual though because all I had to wear was sweatpants. Kind of the downside to dating a homeless person I reflect now as I write this. She told me she would wear something with holes in it. I hope that was her in my dream, although the woman in the dream seemed to be someone unfamilar though. But I have noticed that happening with other people I know. They are represented, somehow, by a different person, but I think of them as someone specific. I feel like that is part of the manipulation. I have noticed something similar in real dreams, but I don't think it is the same here. I think they are disquising themselves in my dream for some reason. Anyway, if it really was her, she actually doesn't have to worry about dressing down if we were to go out. Of course, if I have my way, it would be a moot point because why would I want to go out with her when I am in such an ugly situation? At the minimum, I would want to be back to work so that I have regained some independence. And hey, next time you are in my dreams, dear imaginary girlfriend, how about wearing a bikini? Red would be good, or yellow maybe. That would be sweet!
Kerry Burgess, excerpt from my private journal: 9/29/2006 4:31 PM
I wrote earlier today, I think, that 1970 may have been my fourth year at Princeton and the year I gained my first major degree, possibly in Music. Although I could have been studying Computer Science as well and I am pretty sure I would have heavily into Mathematics and Physics.
