“She looks over at Grace with a scowl. “Grace.” “Bitch,” Grace replies without hesitation. This is another reason I vowed never to return. Felicia Hayes is the devil. I swear the girl has horns. Her life’s mission is to make people miserable. If anyone is happy, they are a target. I can’t imagine living with a black heart.”

glissando and the 1st part ofMICHAELformula on trumpets. Clarinet duo departs. Trumpet plays a lowLUCIFERformula, violas play theEVEformula and low winds play theMICHAELformula.

The chart above can be summarized with color-coded lines below. The thick lines represent formulas, the thick crossed lines represent nuclear formulas, and the thin lines represent the clarinet duo. As can be seen, the first half is a battle between MICHAEL and LUCIFER across the globe, but when EVE appears, a different kind of "mission" occurs, one of teaching and learning. At the end, MICHAEL and EVE "ascend" (into the next Act of DONNERSTAG).

This 1984 version of MICHAELs REISE is re-orchestrated for a trumpet soloist with the remaining parts assigned to an electro-acoustic chamber orchestra of 9 players (especially suitable for touring purposes). On the 1992 ECM release (recorded 1989) the personnel is as follows:

In this version for trumpet and contrabass duo, the trumpet plays a combination of parts from Station 7, followed by the call of EVE, the basset-horn part now played by the contrabass. The wind/brass drone tape is also sometimes employed here. After HALT is played, the duo moves immediately on to HIMMELFAHRT (Ascension), with the contrabass again taking on the basset-horn part.

These are, like HALT, independently-performed versions of sections of MICHAEL"s REISE... for smaller chamber ensembles, with some parts combined and some sections omitted. MISSION and ASCENSION also includes the trumpet and basset-horn parts for MOCKERY and CRUCIFIXION which is long whole notes based on the MICHAEL and EVE Nuclear tones.

Muted brass is joined by a rhythmic web of "exotic" tuned percussion (vibraphone) and piano. This section is based on Act 2"s "Bali Station", and has elements of Balinese gamelan. In between bursts of brass, the tuned percussion textures seem to hang in suspended time. Eventually the brass parts join with the rhythmic pulse. A descending low brass line leads to a brief pause.

The novelopens with Michael searching for secrets while attending a Nazi dinner party with his parents; he’s been completing this sort of spy mission since the night four years earlier when, after his family witnessed the violence against Jews on Kristallnacht, his parents revealed that they’re spies for the Allies. Michael despises the Nazis but is willing to impersonate one, becoming a Hitler Youth and joining in book burning, if doing so will allow him to gain information and “make up” (21) for the “helpless” (8) way he felt on Kristallnacht.

In an affidavit in a Vermont court case, Michaels described his firm"s "mission" as being to "publicize findings on climate change and scientific and social perspectives that may not otherwise appear in the popular literature or media. This entails both response research and public commentary."

On January 25, 2011, Rep. Henry Waxman sent a letter to Rep. Fred Upton seeking to call in Michaels for questioning about his science and funding. In the letter, Waxman wrote that Pat Michaels testified before the Energy and Commerce Committee in February 2009 "that widely accepted scientific data had "overestimated" global warming and that regulation enacted in response to that data could have "a very counterproductive effect." Among the scientists who testified before this Committee on the issue of climate change in the last Congress, Pat Michaels was the only one to dismiss the need to act on climate change ... Dr. Michaels may have provided misleading information about the sources of his funding and his ties to industries opposed to regulation of emissions responsible for climate change."

Climate scientist Benjamin Santer noted that in Michaels" Congressional testimony of November 2010, Michaels had claimed human GHG emissions caused less then half the warming (since 1950), but that this assertion was not credible:

Dr. Tom Wigley, lead author of parts of the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and one of the world"s leading climate scientists, was quoted by Ross Gelbspan as stating that "Michaels" statements on [the subject of computer models] are a catalog of misrepresentation and misinterpretation… Many of the supposedly factual statements made in Michaels" testimony are either inaccurate or are seriously misleading."

...contrarian theories raise interesting questions about our total understanding of climate processes, but they do not offer convincing arguments against the conventional model of greenhouse gas emission-induced climate change. ... Michaels" questions about the temperature record are not convincing arguments against any conclusion that we are currently experiencing warming as the result of greenhouse gas emissions. ...[And] anomalies in the temperature record [do not] offer a mechanism for off-setting the much larger rise in temperature which might occur if the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases were to double or quadruple."

"Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries."- Vannevar Bush (1890 - 1974), American Engineer

"Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone"s task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it."- Viktor E.

"Can you have more than one major MISSION pervading your life? NO. That would be like coming to a fork in the road and trying to go both ways by straddling it."- Charles A. Garfield (1831 - 1881), 20th President of the United States

"America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman. "- George W. Bush (1946 - ), 43rd President of the United States

"If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you"re stuck and you don"t know how to rise, don"t look outside yourself. Look inside. Don"t let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory."- Bruce Jenner (1949 - ) Former U.S. track and Field Athlete, and Motivational Speaker

Duncan took various security jobs in Los Angeles while trying to get some acting work in commercials. During this time, he worked as a bodyguard for celebrities like Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J, and The Notorious B.I.G., all the while doing bit parts in television and films. When rapper Notorious B.I.G. was killed in 1997, Duncan quit the personal-protection business.

After having begun his career with several bit parts playing bouncers in films such as Michael Bay action film Bruce Willis, and it was Willis" influence that helped him to get his breakout role as gentle giant John Coffey in the Frank Darabont film Tom Hanks, Duncan"s performance netted him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture.

Caine began his acting career at the age of 20 in Horsham, Sussex, when he responded to an advertisement in walk-on parts for the Horsham-based Westminster Repertory Company who were performing at the Carfax Electric Theatre.Lowestoft Repertory Company in Suffolk for a year when he was 21. It was here that he met his first wife, Patricia Haines.

Caine also was part of an all-star cast in Paul Erdman"s 1974 novel of the same name, and co-starred in the Academy Award-winning

In the late 1970s, Caine"s choice of roles was frequently criticised—something to which he has referred with self-deprecating comments about taking parts strictly for the money. He averaged two films a year, but these included such films as

Apollo 11 was all about the destination, but there was more to the mission than the landing itself. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins took an eight-day-long journey punctuated by a series of complicated procedures to reach the moon and make it back in one piece. And in between these tense maneuvers were easy conversations and playful jokes. After all, the crew was stuck with one another for hours. It wasn’t going to be business all the time.

The Apollo 11 flight transcripts capture these buoyant moments in a sea of jargon about spacecraft systems. These exchanges feel familiar in an environment that is anything but. The astronauts drink hot coffee and eat sausage for breakfast; they listen to music; they make fun of one another and of Mission Control. Reading through the transcripts, it’s easy to forget these three men are actually hurtling through space at thousands of miles per hour, with no guarantee they’d get where they were going, and no guarantee they’d come back. Sometimes, they sound just like a group of guys on a road trip. “If we’re late in answering you,” Collins told Mission Control several hours after they launched from Cape Canaveral, “it’s because we’re munching sandwiches.”

(Collins was referring to his previous mission, Gemini 10, where he lost a camera during a spacewalk.) As the Apollo 11 spacecraft drifted farther from Earth, the crew members settled in for their first sleep. When they woke up, they warmed up some breakfast and listened to Mission Control relay the news of the day. Mealtimes were peaceful times, perfect for some light ribbing.

The Eagle nearly ran out of fuel just before they touched down. Back in Mission Control, Gene Kranz, the flight director, had told Charlie Duke, with 30 seconds left in the tank, that “you’d better remind Neil there ain’t no damn gas station on that moon.” (This frazzled moment doesn’t appear in NASA transcripts, and comes from an Armstrong biography by the longtime space journalist Jay Barbree.) On the surface, during humanity’s greatest pit stop, Armstrong and Aldrin stretched their legs. They twisted their torsos from side to side, jumped up and down, and shifted their weight from foot to foot. Armstrong nearly fell over after one particularly high leap.

At one of their last meals in space, Collins, the mission comic, decided to poke some fun at the next crew that would make the same journey—Apollo 12. Their own dangerous reentry was still ahead, but they had completed the purpose of their mission, and they were almost home.

[Owen Garriott, in Mission Control]: That does sound pretty good. As a matter of fact, I’m way overdue for a meal myself, here. I could use some of that.
