Tarter remains driven by the possibility that an extraterrestrial

Jill Tarter, the astronomer who was the real-life basis for the alien-hunting character played by Jodi Foster in the film Contact, is stepping down as men's affordable 2012 shoe fashions director of the non-profit SETI Institute's Center for SETI Research. "My colleague Dr. Gerry Harp will step into the directorship role to continue our strong tradition of excellent research, freeing me up to focus on finding stable funding for it," Tarter, who joined the SETI project in the 1970s when it was run by NASA, said in a statement on Tuesday. "I want to make the endowment of SETI research a success, so that my colleagues now, and in the future, can focus on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence for all of us." Tarter, 68, took over as director of research at the privately funded SETI Institute when government support ended in 1993. Short for "search for extraterrestrial intelligence," SETI under Tarter's watch has overseen numerous research projects aimed at detecting alien life in the cosmos. One such project Tarter is credited with spearheading is Project Phoenix, a massive coordination of large-antenna radio receivers on three continents used to monitor electromagnetic radiation for signs of intentional transmissions that would indicate intelligent senders. The celebrated alien hunter's life was the inspiration for Project Argus director Ellie Arroway, the protagonist of Carl Sagan's 1985 novel Contact and the 1997 film of the same name. In the fictionalized account, Project Argus' efforts succeed in detecting communications for an extraterrestrial intelligence, something that Tarter and the SETI Institute have yet to accomplish. "SETI research experiments are funded by louis vuitton men 2012 private donations, limiting how quickly we can search these newly discovered planets for intelligent life. The best reason to support SETI research is because it is an investment in our own future," Tarter said in announcing her retirement this week. Tarter's move to a fund-raising role for the SETI Institute highlights the financial struggles the project has endured in recent years. The institute's Alien Telescope Array (ATA) was shut down temporarily in 2011 before a fundraising drive succeeded in reviving the effort last September. One of the donors to the cause was Foster, who said at the time, "The Allen Telescope Array could turn science fiction into science fact, but only if it is actively searching the skies." Tarter said that the discovery of Earth-like planets by NASA's Kepler spacecraft in recent years has made the continued pursuit of signs of extraterrestrial life more important than ever. "Kepler has been a paradigm shift—starting with the first data release in 2010 and second in 2011 and third in 2012, we have altered our SETI search strategy. We are no longer pointing our telescopes at Sun-like stars in hopes of finding something; we are now observing stars where we know there are planets," she said. Like the fictional heroine of Contact, Tarter remains driven by the possibility that an extraterrestrial species could teach humanity how to plot a successful through current troubles to a better future. "The scientist Phil Morrison said that, 'SETI is the archeology of the future.' Think about it. If we detect a signal, we could learn about their past, because of the time their signal took to reach us, and the possibility of our future," she said. "Successful detection means that, on average, technologies last for a long time," Tarter continued. "That's the only way another technological civilization white louis vuitton handbags can overlap with us in time and space. Understanding that it is possible to find solutions to our terrestrial problems and to become a very old civilization, because someone else has managed to do just that, is hugely important! Knowing that there can be a future may motivate us to achieve it."

NASA decides if Dragon is allowed to attempt to berth with the station

Hawthorne rocket developer SpaceX will try again Tuesday to launch its Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station after its weekend attempt was called off half lv women shoes 2012 a second before liftoff. If Tuesday's launch is successful and NASA gives the on-orbit OK, Dragon would dock with the space station on Friday, according to Space Exploration Technologies Corp., as the company is officially known. The Tuesday launch time is 1:44 a.m. Pacific Time from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket would carry the Dragon into orbit. It would be the first time a commercial business has docked with the space station. The only four entities that have achieved this feat are governments - the United States, Russia, Japan and the European Union. Saturday's launch was aborted by a flight computer that detected slightly high pressure in the engine 5 combustion chamber as all nine of the rocket's engines ignited. Later that day, SpaceX engineers discovered the problem, a faulty check valve on the rocket's engine. "The failed valve was replaced on Saturday and, after thorough analysis, the vehicle has been cleared for launch," SpaceX said in a statement Monday. The launch has been delayed several times, but Saturday's near-liftoff was the closest the mission has come to leaving the launch pad. Dragon will carry supplies and experiments to lv handbags new arrival 2012 the space station. The mission is a test run to Advertisement determine whether SpaceX can supply the orbiting lab. To save money, NASA is turning to the private sector to perform the tasks previously done by the space shuttle, which was retired last year. SpaceX hopes to eventually shuttle astronauts back and forth between the space station and Earth, possibly in as little as four years. Other companies are also vying to prove they can safely reach the space station. To underscore the importance of SpaceX's launch, the company posted a photo on its Twitter site of Gen. William Shelton, commander of the Air Force Space Command, visiting the launch pad Monday. Thursday: Dragon's sensors and flight systems are subject to a series of complicated tests to determine if the vehicle is ready to berth with the space station; these tests include maneuvers and systems checks that will see the vehicle come within 1.5 miles of the station. Friday: NASA decides if Dragon is allowed to attempt to berth with the station. If so, Dragon approaches; it is captured by station's robotic arm and attached to the station. This requires extreme precision as both Dragon and station orbit the Earth every 90 minutes. Saturday - May 31: Astronauts open Dragon's hatch, popular louis vuitton handbags 2012 unload supplies and fill Dragon with return cargo. May 31: Dragon is detached from the station and returns to Earth, landing in the Pacific, hundreds of miles west of Southern California.

Munoz was defensive when asked about the win being controversial and tainted

Azahara Munoz is never going to forget her first LPGA Tour win. It was as emotional as it was controversial and possibly tainted. Munoz beat Candie Kung 2 and 1 on Sunday to win the lv shoes for women Sybase Match Play Championship, a title that was set up when Morgan Pressel was penalized for slow play while in control of their semifinal match. Pressel was one of the first to hug and congratulate Munoz, her good friend, but she also had to be feeling this could have been her first win since 2008 just as easily. It all reverted to the morning semifinal in which Munoz and Pressel were both slow, although Munoz was admittedly a little slower. They were warned about slow play after nine holes and put on the clock after No. 11. The 12th hole changed everything. Pressel won it with a par to seemingly take a 3-up lead. However, before she could tee off on No. 13, tour official Doug Brecht informed her that she was being penalized for slow play. She had taken 2:09 to play her three shots, 39 seconds over the 30-second limit per shot. In match play, a time penalty is the loss of the previous hole and that handed the admittedly slow-playing Munoz the hole. She was 1-down and back in the match. "It was tough timing because it was a really big, I think, turning point in the match, going from 2-up to 3-up, and then all of a sudden back to 1-up," said Pressel, who was on the verge of tears several times in a post-match news conference after she beat Vicky Hurst 2 and 1 in the consolation match. "You know, it was — I mean, it was really unfortunate." The time penalty was the first for Pressel in seven years on the tour and it left a very bad taste in her mouth, knowing Munoz was the slower player. "I think that slow play is one of our biggest problems on tour," Pressel said. "You know, I think that what bothers me the most is that we were given sufficient warning and she really didn't do anything to speed up and then I was penalized for it." Munoz said was apologetic, adding she was surprised Pressel was penalized. "I know I was slow and I really apologized for that louis vuitton earrings discount and I told her, but I do feel both of us were slow and she was the only one getting penalized, and that was not fair and I know that," Munoz said. "I would never make her lose a hole." The penalty didn't end the controversy. Munoz evened the match with a birdie at No. 15, a stroke that was delayed when Pressel contended the Spaniard touched the line of her putt before striking the ball. Match referee Marty Robinson had two committee officials away from the 15th review the videotape of the one camera angle they had of the hole. Robinson said they could not see any evidence of a rule being broken. Munoz then made her putt. Pressel lost the match when she bogeyed the next two holes, missing a 3-foot par putt at No. 17. "It's an unfortunate situation," said Heather Daly-Donofrio, the senior vice president of tour operations. "This is one of those days where it is very tough to be an LPGA official. It's not an easy thing to deliver a pace of play penalty to a player in a situation like this." Daly-Donofrio said two other players have been penalized for slow play this year and five were penalized last year. Pressel was the only one disciplined in the tournament, although two others face fines for slow play. When asked about officials deciding events instead of the players, Daly-Donofrio said that USGA rules have to be upheld. Rule 6-7 says players must play without such delays and it's up to the tour to apply its policy. Daly-Donofrio said slow play is a concern throughout golf, which was evident on the PGA Tour last week when Kevin Na was very slow at The Players Championship. However the PGA Tour has not handed out a slow play stroke penalty in more than a decade. The afternoon matches were almost anticlimactic. Munoz, an NCAA champion at Arizona State, took a 2-up lead at Nos. 11 and 12 when Kung ran into problems and never lost it. Munoz was defensive when asked about the win being controversial and tainted. "I don't care what — you guys are the ones that are going to say that, not people," said Munoz, who earned $375,000. "You guys can say whatever you want to. You know, I didn't do anything wrong. She lost the hole because she was slow, I wasn't. I was slow before, but not when the clock was on and that's when you can't be slow." Kung, who beat top-ranked Yani Tseng in the third round and topped Hurst 2 and 1 in the semifinals, earned $225,000 in just missing her chance to win for the first time since 2008. Pressel played a bogey-free 5 under for 17 holes in beating Hurst in the third-place match. "It was extremely difficult,' said Pressel, who louis vuitton shoes 2012 new luxury cheap made $150,000. "It's certainly, the last place I wanted to be was on the golf course." Hurst, who was looking for her first tour win, earned $112,500.

Although he wasn't speaking about Gaborik specifically

John Tortorella's brief, mostly snarky, often caustic encounters with the media covering these playoffs have become an ongoing, mildly amusing sideshow. While the media may not like it, they're not the designerburberyoutlet story. And how the New York Rangers head coach treats them or mistreats them, as the case may be, is really moot when it comes to the outcome of this series with the New Jersey Devils, which is now tied at one game apiece. What is not moot, however, is the high-stakes game of poker Tortorella is playing with his lineup as he tries to coax more offense and fewer mistakes out of his crew. Specifically, Tortorella is squarely on the line because of his decision to bench the team's highest-paid player (in terms of annual cap hit), Marian Gaborik, for most of the third period after a costly turnover led to the Devils' tying goal in Game 2. Of course, on the line is exactly where Tortorella has spent most of his coaching career. And it's not as if Tortorella doesn't have a history of coming down on his players for miscues. Go back to his days with the Tampa Bay Lightning, with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 2004, and the Lightning's biggest stars, Martin St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and his current go-to guy in New York Brad Richards, weren't spared time stapled to the bench for various misdeeds. That's life with Tortorella, and he'll make no apologies for the way he conducts his business. "I think all coaches do it. You're trying to put players into situations that are going to try to help you to win games or help you in certain situations and momentum swings. Conversely, some guys when you just don't think it's working, they don't see the ice or they don't get the minutes. So those are decisions that we make every game," Tortorella said Thursday during one of his more loquacious encounters with the media this playoff year. "You guys like calling them benchings and all that stuff, but as coaches we're trying to find a way to win a hockey game, and we make decisions accordingly." Tortorella made a point of saying the blame for Game 2's www.designerburberyoutlet.com loss doesn't lie with any one player. Yet, he also pointed to the Devils' second goal as a key moment in the game. Gaborik failed to clear the puck from the Rangers' zone and moments later fourth-line center Ryan Carter deflected home a Bryce Salvador shot to tie the game at 2-2 with 1:51 left in the second period. "I thought the second goal they scored at the end of the period to tie it up was a really big play in that game, and that's not an offensive play, that's a defensive play and we get hurt there," Tortorella said. Gaborik went more than half the third period before getting his first shift. He played 3:07 later in the third period, but was not on the ice in the final moments with netminder Henrik Lundqvist on the bench for an extra attacker. The sniper acknowledged to reporters after the game that he has to be better in that situation. He also indicated he wants to be on the ice during those critical situations late in games. These kinds of decisions are a high-wire act at the best of times. In the playoffs, where every loss is another step toward watching from the sidelines, you can't afford to be wrong. As a coach, and especially the coach of a team whose work ethic is part of its DNA, making a statement that soft play won't be tolerated has to be balanced against hampering your team's ability to win. Had Gaborik played more would the Rangers' chances of tying and winning Game 2 have gone up? No one can answer that definitively, but a man who scored 41 times during the regular season and has shown flashes of that talent in the postseason, where he has scored four more including a triple-overtime game winner, would seem to be the kind of guy who would enhance your chances of finding a much-needed goal. The Rangers have not scored more than three goals in any game since their first outing against Ottawa, a stretch of 15 games. And when you've got other weapons that are struggling -- like captain Ryan Callahan, who has just one goal in his last 12 games -- maybe there was a better way to make such a stand. But if your coaching philosophy is based on consistency and you have consistently shown that players will be treated in a certain manner if they fail to get the job done, then maybe Tortorella had no other option but to do as he did. When you have a potential game-breaker on the bench in a one-goal game, "that's a pretty clear message," former Lightning captain Dave Andreychuk told ESPN.com Thursday. Not that any of this is a surprise to Andreychuk, who louis vuitton sunglasses 2012 was the first to hoist the Cup in June 2004 when the Lightning defeated Calgary in seven games. "We went through that here with Vinny [Lecavalier]. He was hard on him. He demanded a lot of him and I truly believe he got the best out of him," Andreychuk said of Tortorella. "But it's always truly about the team. He's not going to cover anything up or let things slide. That's what I respected more than anything else about him." As for Tortorella's running skirmish with the media, Andreychuk said he and St. Louis talked about it while playing golf Thursday. They both believe it is purely an effort by Tortorella to take pressure off the players by creating a distraction. Andreychuk recalled the war of words between then Philadelphia Flyers head coach Ken Hitchcock and GM Bob Clarke and Tortorella during the 2004 Eastern Conference finals. The Lightning understood then that this was a way of deflecting attention and giving the team breathing room. "That's John. That's what he does," Andreychuk said. Although he wasn't speaking about Gaborik specifically, Tortorella did address the balance between adjusting the Rangers' game plan and simply finding more will to win with Game 3 set for Saturday afternoon in Newark, N.J. "I think as you're involved in the playoffs and the further you go in it, you're looking for big plays at key times," Tortorella said. "We have found our way. One of the most important ingredients for us to be consistent and to be able to play at this time of the year is really to play as a team and not have any one specific guy be the guy. "So to answer your question, I think it's not just one men suits 2012 person that we're looking to get hot. We're looking for the group of them to continue to play under our team concept, but also someone step up each and every period or each and every game or a key time to make a big play, and I think that's where you find your way."

Lawrie expected a rapid rise to stardom

Competitive fire at its ugliest was on display Tuesday night at Rogers Centre, where the only thing worse than home-plate umpire Bill Miller's ball-strike calls was Brett Lawrie's raging reaction to them. By now, you've likely seen the video of Lawrie losing his mind, firing his helmet to the dirt in the direction of Miller after two very controversial -- and very incorrect -- called third strikes. The helmet bounced and struck Miller in the leg, and, while it was pretty obvious Lawrie's intent was not to strike Miller, the ricochet rightly earned Lawrie a four-game suspension, handed down Wednesday by MLB. This is the unsightly side of the aggressive instincts that have pushed Lawrie to the brink of greatness. This unfortunate incident aside, the 22-year-old Lawrie is an absolute joy to watch. He has power, he has speed, and he always turns it up to 11 when he takes the field. "It may look full bore to you guys," he told me earlier this season, "but that's my even keel." Perhaps more than anything, Lawrie has attitude -- LOUIS VUTTION MEN SHOES SALE and it's the type of attitude that makes him a beloved teammate and a loathed opponent. His attitude is the reason he had some clashes with the Brewers, who drafted him 16th overall in 2008 and groomed him, only to cut him loose in the Shaun Marcum trade at the end of 2010. Lawrie expected a rapid rise to stardom, because that's what great athletes expect of themselves. But he became frustrated with the Brewers' timetable (the club didn't promote him in September 2010, requesting instead that he go to the Arizona Fall League), and the two sides had a falling out. This has absolutely nothing to do with what happened Tuesday night, and yet it has everything to do with what happened Tuesday night. For Lawrie is a fierce competitor -- even by fierce-competitor standards -- and, when he felt disrespected by Miller, his attitude, his instincts, his competitive fire all exploded out of the bottle. "It's just my passion for the game," he said afterward, in what seemed to be a heartfelt apology. "I wanted to help my teammates out as best I could. That's the pride I have in this game. I leave my emotions out on the field." Clearly, Lawrie took it way too far in this instance. And what of Miller's role in all this? Surely, his actions must be questioned on some level. Umpires are human, and an analysis of ball-strike counts in any big league ballgame will uncover a multitude of mistakes. That's not the issue here. But when one reviews Tuesday's incident, it's hard not to come away with at least the slightest impression that Miller was trying to teach the kid a lesson, rather than calling the pitches as-is. Remember, this was a one-run game in which the Blue Jays were trailing the Rays by one run with none on and one out in the ninth. The stakes were high. Fernando Rodney's 3-1 offering was several inches off the outside part of the plate, and Lawrie dropped his bat and sprinted toward first before Miller slowly and deliberately made the motion for strike two. If Miller simply got the ball-strike call wrong, so be it. Happens all the time. And Lawrie should have done the right thing and dutifully retreated to the batter's box. Instead, he showed Miller up by making a more exaggerated return to the box, staring Miller down and voicing his disagreement via body language (if not more vulgar language muttered under his breath). It should have ended there. But it didn't. Rodney's next pitch was way high, just as obviously ball four. Lawrie laid off it, but Miller rang him up anyway. It is entirely possible that Miller truly felt both pitches were strikes. It is also entirely possible that after a kid in his first full big league season showed him up, Miller decided to retaliate. If the former is the case, then, again, so be it. But if it's the latter, then Miller was not performing his duties. Whatever the case, Lawrie is ultimately in the wrong here for letting his temper take over. Lawrie does not seem to be a Milton Bradley-type hothead. He's just hyper-competitive, and that was a hyper-competitive situation in which to be hosed. He had a right to be upset, certainly, but his actions were not justifiable, and the suspension is. Joe Torre, MLB's final authority for discipline issues, louis vuitton t shirts for women was right to recognize the lack of obvious intent, which could have resulted in a much longer suspension. The takeaway here is that sometimes the competitive instincts that inspire us to great feats can also bring out our worst qualities. That was certainly the case with Lawrie, and it's possible that was the case with Miller, too. It was also the case with the angry fan in the front row, who threw a nearly full cup of beer at Miller's shoulder as he left the field.
