Students and staff from the College of DuPage Human Services program braved the cold Nov. 1 temperatures to participate in the 2014 "Sleep Out Saturday Night" event. Sleep Out Saturday started in 2004 with the purpose to raise awareness about the issue of homeless families that work and live in DuPage County, while at the same time raise funds for Bridge Communities' Transitional Housing program. Since its inception, Sleep Out Saturday has raised more than $1 million to support families in DuPage County.

After some time off this series for other work and travel, I spent the week chipping away at this second large sketch to be translated as a vector art piece.
It is now well over six feet high and becoming cumbersome to photograph.

The Minuteman Program
A product of the Cold War and the developing strategy of nuclear deterrence, the U.S. Air Force's Minuteman program started in 1962 with the LGM 30 Minuteman I. This weapon system was the United States first land-based Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to use solid fuel rather than liquid, allowing it to be launch-ready at all times-much like the legendary minutemen of the Revolutionary War. Immediate strike capability permitted the United States to execute a counterattack in the event of a nuclear strike.
Since its Introduction, the Minuteman has undergone several updates, with the Minuteman III in use today as the country's only land-based ICBM. At each stage of the Minuteman's life, Hill Air Force Base has been and continues to be a part of the production, management, maintenance, and overhaul of this platform. Listed below are some of the major Minuteman III support missions that exist on HilI AFB:
Minuteman III Systems Directorate, formerly the ICBM Systems Directorate and assigned to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, is responsible for "cradle-to-grave” systems management-to include acquisition, fleet administration, storage and transportation, equipment replacement, and systems modification direction. Overall, this unit focuses on maintaining the operational readiness of the aging Minuteman III system.
Little Mountain Test Facility is a state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to simulation testing of nuclear hardness, survivability, reliability and electromagnetic compatibility of defense systems. The 1,000-acre facility is located 15 miles west of Ogden on 12th Street, near the Great Salt Lake.
Strategic Missile Integration Complex conducts system-level testing and integration. It consists of a fully configured Minuteman III silo and launch control center. Here, Minuteman IIl hardware or software is tested prior to fielding at operational units.
309th Missile Maintenance Group tests, maintains and modernizes Minuteman III systems on the Installation and at missile sites across the country, Efforts Include work conducted on support vehicles, silos, launch control centers, missiles, and more. Direction for this work is provided by the Minuteman III Systems Directorate.
Launch Control Center
Providing launch capabilities for a flight of ICBMS and buried thirty feet below the surface is the Launch Control Center (LCC). The LCC is the epicenter for monitoring and control of Minuteman ICBMS. Each LCC is responsible for a minimum of 10 missiles, but can monitor and launch up to 50. Every LCC is on continuOus 24/7 alert and manned with Air Force personnel. A typical shift for the two-officer crew in an LCC lasts 24 hours, however, it is not uncommon for the launch crews to stay manned at their LCC for 48-72 hours at a time.
Besides monitoring Minuteman missiles, LCC Crews are also responsible for monitoring strategic communications and encoded messages. They write down each encoded message and decode it to determine if it is a launch order or an exercise. In the event they receive a launch order, the crews begin launch procedures and can deploy their ICBMS in a matter of minutes.
The LCC console and equipment here at the Hill Aerospace Museum came from Missouri's Whiteman AFB, and was used by the 510th Strategic Missile Squadron between the 1960s and early 1990s.

This is using a very simple iterative approach, one of the many methods described here:
freespace.virgin.net/hugo.elias/models/m_ik2.htm
The downside is that movement is pretty robotic and not in a good way. Does the job though, but I'm trying a few more things.
It looks a bit extra robotic as it obeys rotational constraints on the joints and the approach I am using here will sometimes not immediately find a better solution for the joints if the solution is "far away".

Ms. Erin Camacho and Ms. Bobbie Pangelinan, who run the federal WIC program in the Marianas, were in Washington. The $5 million Women, Infants and Children grant provides food and nutritional advice for 3,500 people in our islands and adds to our local economy. After 10 years in existence, WIC reports that obesity levels are dropping among 2- to 5-year-olds and breastfeeding rates are up. Great work!
