Skip to comments.Boy Scouts review controversial anti-gay policy
Posted on 06/07/2012 9:03:45 AM PDT by caldera599
The Boy Scouts of America is considering a resolution that calls for ending a 102-year-old policy theyve grappled with in recent years: banning gay scouts and scout leaders, gay advocates told msnbc.com on Wednesday. Though the organization said it would review the proposal, a spokesman insisted there were no plans to change the policy.
The new policy would throw out the national ban and allow local chartering organizations to decide whether or not they would accept gay youth and leaders, said Zach Wahls, an Eagle Scout who has advocated for the change, citing unidentified people who attended the group's national annual meeting last week where the proposal was made.
(Excerpt) Read more at usnews.msnbc.msn.com ...
I would bet Zack already has an idea for a few new Merit Badges
I remember 20 years ago when I was going to Cub Scout leader training that pedophiles constantly try to get into leadership positions in the Scouting program and vigilance is paramount.
You cannot leave your son with a football coach and now now weekend camping.
Might as well get rid of them if they crumble to a tiny 1% of the population.
We have a Priest in our Parish who was a young boy in Amsterdam. He told us a story about he and his father went to go to his Troop meeting one night. When they got there they were told; no more Boy Scouts. It's now Hitler Youth. So they left. This will have the same effect. Just an aside. He lived on Van Gough Blvd. across from the Frank family.
There is a two-fold purpose to this. First, it will create an opportunity for recruitment to the ranks of homosexuals through the avenue of child molestation. Second, the resultant lawsuits will bankrupt and destroy the national organization, a prime goal of the homosexualist movement.

When the changes go into effect I expect to see an exodus from the BSA. But where will they go?
I know that the alternative to the Girl Scouts is the American Heritage Girls, but is there an alternative equivalent to the Boy Scouts?
I cannot believe what I just read. Throw the kids to the pedos.
Activities for the "Diversity" merit badge are likely still illegal in most states for most-age boy scouts.
In a free society, the correct response would be for these "activists" to start their own organization - one that reflects their own views.
But they're not interested in freedom, they're interested in pushing an agenda to bend everyone else to their whims.
Don't do it, BSA! Many people support you because you are standing firm. Don't squish.
The title should read,
"Boy Scouts Considering Going Homosexual."
Media and Gubbermint have been beating on them for 16 rounds, and they are about to succumb. Just like Cracker Barrel.
See The Boy Scouts Of America & A Leftwing Agenda.
William Flax
Review is over. Now keep it and don't ever change it.
Merit badge for finding another scouts butt with both hands maybe?
Because homosexuals cannot breed, they must RECRUIT.
It will be the end of scouting if they allow this.
What do the Girl Scouts do anymore besides sell cookies and extoll the virtues of GLBT diversity?
I don't buy their cookies anymore.
"Youth for Obama" is what they seem to prefer now....
Excuse me while I hurl and disinfect.
If the Boy Scouts change their policy to admit practicing homosexuals, every chicken hawk in the country will be applying to become a scout master. And families will be pulling their kids out, so it will mean the end of scouting.
Here is the first paragraph:
Contrary to media reports, the Boy Scouts of America has no plans to change its membership policy. The introduction of a resolution does not indicate the organization is reviewing a policy or signal a change in direction.
Another dumb argument.
Anyone is free to start, and join, a gay friendly scout org.
It won't mean an end to scouting if an alternative is found. It could be called the American Heritage Boys or the Conservative Boy Scouts of America or something along those lines.
"...was turned in by a Scout leader from the Northeast before April 30, the deadline for submitting resolutions to the meeting. He said the resolution was read at the May 31 meeting.
While well carefully consider this resolution, there are no plans to change this policy,...."
SO this is a scam pushed by the homosexuals at MSNBC (and FNC and CNN)
ONE fringe wacko fetishist pust this forward and it is portrayed as a majority move. THIS IS MEME JOURNALISM.
This should result in a serious expulsion of those who proposed this.
Is there any segment of our society the homosexuals don't want to destroy?
"...Wahls, the son of a lesbian couple, delivered a petition with 275,000 signatures last Wednesday that called for an end to the anti-gay policy and for the reinstatement of Jennifer Tyrrell as a den mother after she was ousted in April because she is gay."
No, he is being raised by a SINGLE mother and her fetish sex partner. She should never have been allowed around the children. As for those 275 petition signatures, clearly fakes from outside the organization if they were even real. (aka internet fakes) The article has a box being carried with the content marked. REally? what is in that box?
Anyone who joins his sex club group to change the scout policy should be expelled.
"Is there any segment of our society the homosexuals dont want to destroy?"
"Destroy" seems kind of harsh.
I'd use "co-opt":
To take or assume for one's own use; appropriate:
"I dont buy their cookies anymore."
You're not alone on that either.
I'll stick with destroy. The homosexual agenda is to destroy all things Christian.
BY ED VITAGLIANO | AFA Journal News Editor
"All churches who condemn us will be closed." That was what Michael Swift, a "gay revolutionary," declared in a February 1987 issue of the Gay Community News.
Let them know:
How are sales anyway? I know we don't buy anymore either, and we are not alone.
When homo-leftists co-opt any organization, that organization becomes tainted, polluted, corrupted, bastardized, degraded, diverted from its true course, and ineffective at its original mission. The organization may continue to appear to exist, but if it no longer works as it did previously, then it very much is as if the organization had been destroyed.
Does GSA allow unrelated adult men to take teen girls on camping trips?
I haven't bought GS cookies since I discovered that GSA partners with Planned Parenthood. It does not surprise me that they also go for carpet munching.
There's a *HUGE* LDS presence in BSA. I imagine that much of BSA's money comes from the LDS. If the LDS pulled out (and they would), the scouts would be gutted. I can't imagine them going lavender as long as that stands.
I imagine they would, jboot, as would a huge number of Catholic scouts. I couldn't even imagine my own boys' alma mater (a Catholic school with a booming Scout population) putting up with it for one second.
Thanks, that makes more sense.
So someone with an agenda introduces a resolution, then contacts his media buddies to claim that the Boy Scouts are considering it. The media then implies that its a done deal.
Give that man a cigar! Yup, that is exactly what happened, kidd.
Witness the death throes of the Episcopal Church for evidence. Many liberal clergy inherited churches with no remaining congregants. Many of those churches have been sold off whle the priest and a few like-minded souls meet in a coffee shop once a month to celbrate the "multifarous victorious overcoming grace of God" or whatnot over cappucinos and granola crunch muffins.
I pray for better for the BSA.
Sorry, but yes.
The choice as to who should or should not be allowed to be a Scoutmaster should rest with the parents of the kids in the troop.
This sodomite attempt to destroy all morals in this country will never end as long as God-less democrats, let by the muslim Obama,continue to call the shots. If Obama is reelected, I guarantee you he will get on national TV and tell the world that sodomites have the right to get married and he is strongarming a bill through Congress to have DOMA overruled and that states have no right deciding who can and can not get married. Churches all over the country will be mandated to perform sodomite "marriages", under threat of having the church closed down. The will also tell the Boy Scouts of any other organization they can not "discriminate" action a minority and that sodomites are in the same class as women and blacks, which is absolutely BS because you have no say so about what sex you are born or the color of your skin. There is no such thing as a sodomite gene, and it a learned trait. Elect Obama and this garbage will absolutely never end.
If I had a little boy or older boy who was in the Boy Scouts I would not want him around a sexual deviant.
You can also go to the petition page at whitehouse.gov and create a petition that President Obama personally discuss raping every registered female Republican. I don't know that the media is going to run a story saying "White House considers raping all female Republicans" though.
Where in the world would you get that idea?
Some story in this vein has run just before or concurrent with each National Annual Meeting of the BSA for more than a decade.
Interesting, Scoutmaster. This is the first headline of its kind I've ever seen, though of course I knew that the homosexuals have been pestering the BSA for decades. Looks like one of their annual "petitions" finally got the press they've been hoping for.
In any case, I am relieved to hear that the BSA has no plans to change its policy.
No, I don't recall the figures. It was years ago and I was only faintly interested in the conversation at the time. If it isn't true that the LDS is a major force in the BSA, well, I'm sorry for misleading.

The states need the money and e-retailers are a great target for new sales tax revenue.
In my first blog on this site (Time to Bite the Sales Tax Bullet), I argued that e-retailers would soon have to relinquish their freedom from collecting sales taxes, because e-retailing is the fastest growing part of the retail economy and states are in no fiscal position to lose sales tax revenue every time the e-commerce channel grows at the expense of tax-collecting stores. It's an unfair advantage that e-retailers are simply going to lose as the big chains and the retail store associations side with the state sales tax establishment.
Now a debate is raging in Washington over a proposed bill, The Main Street Fairness Act, which calls for Congress to support the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement and authorize signatory states to collect and remit sales taxes from customers from all states in the group. Those in favor of this legislation, including the National Retail Federation and the Retail Industry Leaders Association, argue that taxing e-retail sales would create a level playing field between stores and retail web sites. Those opposed to this legislation argue that this is a bad time to raise taxes on anybody given the fragile state of the economic recovery. Additionally, they fear sales taxes on web sites would be difficult to collect evenly and fairly and would place a heavy burden on hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs whose only business is running small retail web sites.
Everyone understands where the NRF and RILA are coming from, although they must loathe being on the side of increase sales taxes on their members, all of who have tax-sheltered retail web sites. Nonetheless, they understand that stores are losing market share to e-retail businesses that have an unfair advantage, and they are using the budget crises in virtually all state capitols to drive home their point. "This bill would create a level playing field between online merchants and local stores while ensuring that state and local governments can collect the sales tax revenue they need to support vital services like police and fire departments, ambulances and schools," said NRF Vice President and Government and Industry Relations Counsel Maureen Riehl. "There is no reason one group of merchants should be given an unfair price advantage over another."
What Ms. Riehl fails to consider are the fundamental differences between a bricks-and-mortar store and a web store so far as state and local community services are concerned. It is true that sales taxes are critical for supporting local police, fire, emergency services and all the rest. It is also true that stores put service burdens on local communities that web sites do not. Stores rely on police to respond to complaints of thefts and robberies at their stores. E-Retailers don't call the local police when hackers break into the web store. When stores catch fire, local firefighters respond. The construction of a new store in a community creates work for city planners, zoning officials, traffic managers and may well require new or expanded public roads. Not so with web stores. You get the point: web stores demand much less of state and local governments
That's a good reason why the sales tax rates e-retailers are forced to collect should be about half of the average 7% sales tax that stores have to collect. There are other reasons behind such proposed policy, not the least of which is that retail web businesses are more energy efficient. Loading up a single truck with packages to be shipped to 50 homes in a neighborhood requires less fuel than having those same 50 homes drive to and from stores to buy the same merchandise—products that were trucked to those stores in the first place. And think of the energy stores use to light, cool and heat their buildings. There are many existing tax incentives designed to encourage energy efficiency and more are no doubt on the way. Web retailing should be considered a green enterprise worthy of some form of tax break.
I concede that there is the problem of 50 states each collecting sales taxes from hundreds of thousands of e-commerce web sites. Each state would have to beef up its revenue department to monitor the collection of sales taxes from all retailers doing business in the state, and unlike offline retailing, most web businesses required to collect and remit the new Internet sales tax on e-retailers would come from outside of the taxing state and would easily outnumber the store-based companies that collect and remit sales taxes from stores they own in that state. States aren't equipped to do that, and at best would be able to efficiently collect sales levies from only the largest e-retailers.
The answer for a fair and collectible sales tax on e-retailing, I think, is found in a federal excise on e-commerce in the U.S. This is fundamentally an interstate activity and taxing its sales should be a federal government function. I have greater faith in the federal government's ability to collect taxes evenly from all e-retailers across the country than I have in the ability of all of the states to impose such a tax working in concert. The federal government, however, should not retain or have any control over the application of e-retailing sales tax funds. Rather, such federally collected excise taxes on e-retailers should be distributed directly to the states based solely on each state's e-retailing sales—defined as purchases from e-retailing sites by shoppers residing in the state that receives the sales tax money.
This is a middle-ground proposal design to appeal to both sides of the debate. It is suggested in the spirit of compromise, despite the sad reality these days that hoping for compromise in the public arena is near lunacy.

Operators at the White Oak Federal Research Center must monitor all points of the microgrid from the Central Utility Plant to balance utility grid disturbances with on-site generation. The campus is equipped with a 5.8 mW dual-fuel reciprocating engine generator, among other energy sources.

What would it mean to your business if you could eliminate the risk of blackouts or insufficient power quality, produce on-site generation with fewer regulations, lower your utility bill, and create revenue by selling excess energy?
Welcome to the microgrid. Drawing on the flexibility of the smart grid concept, a microgrid allows a group of buildings to work in tandem with the utility grid but operate independently at will.
"Microgrids are small-scale versions of the centralized electricity system. They achieve specific local goals established by the community being served, such as reliability, carbon emission reduction, diversification of energy sources, and cost reduction," explains the white paper
Understanding Microgrids by the Galvin Electricity Initiative, a nonprofit campaign for national energy surety.
Given the volatility of fuel prices, aging grid infrastructure, and the increasing need for power quality, microgrids can provide building owners with a dynamic way of safeguarding against power failures while expanding their ability to produce energy.
"Like the bulk power grid, smart microgrids generate, distribute, and regulate the flow of electricity to consumers, but do so locally," the white paper continues. "Smart microgrids leverage the bulk power system to take advantage of lower cost baseload power and remote renewable resources."
While the technology for microgrids is fully realized, barriers such as regulations and financing have made it difficult for this new operating model to take root. Learn about the benefits of microgrids so you can reap the advantages of grid independence.
The Benefits of Grid Independence
Building management system
Lighting retrofits
HVAC upgrades
Building envelope
Usage transparency

Demand response programs
Balance system supply and demand
Optimization of power system

(economics, carbon
footprint, reliability, etc.)

Automatic connect and disconnect from main
grid to meet specific performance outcomes
Energy surety is also useful for a business that cannot afford to be offline for any length of time. A power outage, even for a matter of minutes, can result in lost data, disabled security, or a standstill in business operations. Power loss could even pose a life-threatening risk to occupants, particularly in healthcare facilities.
The FDA headquarters in Maryland is a prime example. With nine facilities heavily invested in research activities, a power outage could have dire consequences. "The White Oak campus runs experiments that last for years. They cannot afford to be without power for any duration of time, otherwise years of data could be lost," explains Jeff Puffer, director of Business Development for Honeywell Federal Systems Group. Honeywell is currently strengthening the site's microgrid with a number of efficiency projects (see sidebar).
When a group of buildings operates as a microgrid, it fundamentally changes the relationship between the utility and its clients. "The grid becomes a back-and-forth transaction where each party can provide power to the other or cut ties when needed," notes John F. Kelly, executive director of the Perfect Power Institute, a division of Galvin Electricity Initiative.
It also places control and flexibility into the hands of the building operators. "A microgrid allows you to prioritize your loads and to decide what type of power you want to use in a given day," Puffer says. "It gives you choices – do you want to buy electricity from the utility, use your oil-running assets, or draw from your renewable sources?"
One of the key disadvantages of microgrids is calculating costs. Investment costs significantly differ depending on how efficient your site already is and what needs to be added for complete grid separation. It's also difficult to put a price on energy quality – what is it worth to you to have improved power reliability?
Under this framework, payback can be loosely achieved by fulfilling sustainability goals, lowering utility bills, or strengthening your business image.
"For example, if you're trying to lease your space and you can guarantee that the facility will be up and operational, the availability of a microgrid could have a major impact on site selection for a potential tenant," says Puffer.
There's also the option of making a profit from your output. "Sometimes the power you generate on-site has more value than the price you can buy it from the grid," explains Phil Smith, director of Federal Project Development for Honeywell Building Solutions. "Revenue becomes part of the formula when you can make additional electricity and sell it back to the utility."
The Role of Your Utility
Before you embark on developing a microgrid, you need to form a partnership with your local utility. "They are a stakeholder that needs to be engaged at the beginning of the process," stresses Liam Dohn, a project manager for Siemens. "It's a big responsibility to be interconnected with the utility's system, which has been collectively paid for by the public."
Utility attitudes about microgrids vary sharply across different regions. Some have begun to realize the benefits for all involved and are rolling out trial programs and incentives.
Others cling to the vertically integrated model currently in place. When the utility won't relinquish control over generation and distribution, it can create roadblocks for building owners. Without the ability to install and own on-site generation and sell back excess power, microgrids are difficult to achieve.

Led Zep Shows Why They're One of the Great Ones
It's been a long time since we rock and rolled, bellowed Robert Plant as Led Zeppelin stepped on stage at Madison Square Garden last night, for the first of six shows (three at the Garden, three at Nassau Coliseum), over the next two weeks. It's actually been a year and a half since Led Zep's last appearance. In the meantime, their cult has become so enormous that this is the longest and largest stand and rock group has ever done locally.
What's up for grabs is the title of world's greatest rock and roll band. There are only two other serious challengers, Rolling Stones and the Who. The Who have not made a major album in three years. In the last five years, the Stones have made four great ones, but only three of their six releases have sold 1,000,000 copies or more. Led Zeppelin have only made five albums – with a sixth shortly to be released – and all of them have sold more than a million copies. One of them, their fourth, sold over 2,000,000. The Stones may have the rep, but Led Zep have the numbers. (D. Marsh, NY Newsday Feb. 75)
Led Zeppelin, atop the rock heap these days, gave an exciting concert Monday (3), the first of six dates in the New York City area, three each at Madison Square Garden and Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, L.I. The total haul for the Jerry Weintraub promotions here will near $950,000.
None of the rowdyness and damage caused by prospective ticket purchasers and those denied entry at other locations was in evidence at the Garden, where the youthful crowd was in better order than at many other local rock shows. Security was tip top, also.
Auditors were rewarded by the tour's first performance of an expanded version of the oldie, "Dazed and Confused," which had not been done previously because of a pre-tour injury to Jimmy Page's fingers. They seemed okay in Monday's tour de force as Page reinforced his rep as one of rock's premier guitarists, a rep dating back to his days with the Yardbirds.
Although plagued with a sore throat, Robert Plant was dynamic as lead singer-sex symbol. Bass guitarist John Paul Jones excelled on a variety of keyboard in several numbers from the Britishers' upcoming album, the first on their own Swan Song label.
Even John Bonham's 18-minute drum solo had more inventive twists than heretofore. But it was still too long. Writing was a big production plus. [-Kirb. | Published 2-5-75]

Breaking: Leafs Re-Sign Frazer McLaren
Blake Murphy
July 05 2013 10:46AM
Per James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Maple Leafs have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with restricted free agent Frazer McLaren. Mirtle reports the salary figure as $700,000 per season.
McLaren previously had a cap hit of $632,500, so he's receiving a slight and expected raise as an RFA. The Leafs claimed McLaren off of waivers from the San Jose Sharks in January of this year, deploying him in 35 games. He tallied just five points and racked up 102 penalty minutes, placing third in the NHL with 12 fights, per HockeyFights.com.
As Mirtle points out, McLaren is a "Randy Carlyle guy," bringing toughness on the fourth line with fellow face-puncher Colton orr, although McLaren is better at the actual game of ice hockey.
The Leafs still have six RFAs to sign and then another four roster spots. It's nice that they were able to get one of those spots filled at a low cap hit, though I'd argue to my death that there's no need for two guys of this nature on the team.
This is an ultra low-risk move but also a low-impact one. McLaren appeared in just a single playoff game, which tells you all you need to know about a) his skill level and b) the value of this kind of player in meaningful games.
While it might seem silly to quibble over small amounts of money, McLaren is probably a guy who you could have got for even less than his $700k price tag. Joey Crabb, for example, signed for 2-years $1.2M today. As i wrote about the other day, individual small-money mistakes aren't that big a deal, but they can really add up and cost a team. The Leafs are now paying McLaren and Orr a combined $1.625M in each of the next two years even though you could fill that same role with a single player at maybe $600k or via the waiver wire (where guys like McLaren are readily available).
And don't be fooled by McLaren's three goals in limited action, either - none of those goals went inoff of his stick. That's not offensive potential.
But hey, this is going to be a tough team with Carlyle's identity. McLaren and Orr might eventually challenge for the Tag Team Championships and they might even get an annoying nickname together, like Bash Brothers Redux #431 or McLORRen or something. So, there's that. And the fights!
Re-sign McLaren, lose MacArthur to the Sens.
FFS Nonis
Good 4th line signing. He can skate and check. Not to mention the toughness. Good money as well.
Great signing. Don't see how you could have one player doing what Orr and McLaren did, that would be 25 fights! And not getting to that number is not fulfilling the combined role.
McLaren had a very good year IMO, could have been great though if he had showed more ruthlessness in finishing his fights when given the opportunity, e.g., Gorges, Prust.

Welcome to the Computer Science department! We are glad that you are interested in our department! Hope College is an exciting place to study computer science. Our department strives to provide an environment where students are challenged and stretched to become the best students of computer science they can be. Hope's small class sizes, hands-on learning environment and individual attention available to students encourages students to get to know their professors.
Course Work
Our department offers a full computer science program, comparable to offerings at many larger schools. The curriculum is based on the ACM/IEEE curriculum recommendations. Students have a lot of flexibility in the courses that they take, so that they can tailor their program to their interests. Students often take advantage of that flexibility to double major, with recent students having additional majors in such fields as Chemistry, Communications, Engineering, Japanese and Theater.
Recognizing the rapidly changing nature of our discipline, we also offer advanced topics courses that allow students to gain exposure to new technologies. Examples include courses in Web 2.0 programming, computer security, tablet PC programming and cryptography.
The programming languages used in our courses include Java, C++, C#, SQL and many others. Students gain extensive experience learning how to adapt their knowledge of these languages to others, a critical skill in this dynamic field. Many of the projects completed for our courses are done in teams, helping students learn how to work in collaborative environments.
Students at Hope complete more than just technical courses - the liberal arts component of a Hope College education is a great complement to a computer science degree, because employers are interested not only in your technical skills, but also in students who have excellent problem-solving, communication and teamwork abilities.
Research Experiences
Hope College is a national leader in undergraduate research, and this includes the computer science program. Students are given the opportunity to participate with faculty on their research, and those students who don't pursue research still benefit from the way faculty members bring their research and other professional experience into the classroom environment.
The summer research program at Hope builds upon the knowledge students gain as part of their course work, allowing them to work closely with a faculty mentor to develop solutions to problems no one has solved before. This work frequently leads to students traveling to conferences to present their work, as well as publishing papers in peer reviewed journals. Information on our research program, including current and past research projects, can be found at here.
Students can take advantage of our internship program to gain experience while they complete their studies. Hope's computer science students are in demand at companies such as Steelcase, Priority Health, Gordon Foods and Lean Logistics. Many students who complete an internship find it to be a great springboard to a career after graduation.

Report: Canucks "Close to a Deal" to hire John Tortorella as Head Coach
Thomas Drance
June 21 2013 11:54AM
NHL source tells me John Tortorella has been offered #Canucks job and two sides are close to a deal #nhl #canucks Torts will coach Canucks— gary lawless (@garylawless) June 21, 2013
According to Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press, the Vancouver Canucks have "offered" the club's vacant head coaching position to John Tortorella and are "close to a deal" that would bring the controversial firebrand to the west coast. John Tortorella was fired by the New York Rangers after his teams second round ouster this past spring, and he was replaced in New York by recently fired Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault who met with the media today.
Read past the jump for more.
John Tortorella is certainly a fascinating figure, with one hell of a record as an NHL bench boss. Hated by the media, Tortorella has a Stanley Cup ring and a reputation for being something of a task master. I'd imagine that Tortorella's curb-stomping motivational style was something of a selling point for an organization that has watched their club get eliminated from the playoffs twice in their past nine postseason games...
Tortorella is a smart tactician and a competent guy. I'm not convinced that coaching matters nearly as much as talent does at the National Hockey League level, but whatever, Tortorella certainly knows how to dissect an opponent and play to his club's strengths. Of course, he's inheriting a Canucks team that's stacked along the blue-line and in net and light on depth upfront. That might result in the Canucks playing the sort of low-event hockey that is anathema for many of Canuckistan's denizens.
Tortorella's constant battles with the hockey media in New York was the stuff of legends, and apparently the Vancouver Canucks were concerned enough about that subject to discuss it at length in his first interview with the club.
Another fascinating question will be one of style. John Tortorella's clubs have rarely been offensive juggernauts in his decade of coaching at the National Hockey League level, and Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis reportedly wasn't a huge fan of Tortorella's block everything, defensive-shell system with the New York Rangers. Tortorella didn't coach a Rangers-type system when he was in Tampa, however, so I'd suggest that he knows there's more than one way to skin a cat. So that's good, because a full season of Ryan Kesler blocking shots like his ice-time depends on it probably isn't the wisest way for this team to proceed...
I can hear it now..."what the f##k do you think Tony!!" As in Gallagher.
Is it just me, or did the reports of the deal being close(d) come close on the heels of the report of the deal between Tippett and the Coyotes? It's like the rumours that Torts was a frontrunner for the Canucks were true, but that the Canucks were still waiting to hear if Tippett was available.
June 21 2013, 01:46PM
Shot-blocking teams are very hard to play against, to be fair, but it just seems like a dumb way to go for an injury-prone team with strong goaltending.
I'm sure that he's going to tell Gallagher.
"Did you eat glue as a kid? Tony? Wrap your whatever you have for brains around it. Why should I tell you anything. You'll just write something you want anyways. Get out of my face."
Oh. I'm gonna love the quotes from Torts as he has to wrestle with Vancouver media.

Propellerheads Worldwide Events
Luthman Scandinavia Hitech Tour 2006
The Luthman Hitech tour took place on June 12-15. Luthman - our Scandinavian distributor - invited Propellerhead and other companies from the music industry to demonstrate our latest products for the Scandinavian retailers. Demos were organized in Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, and in Copenhagen. This time Arabian Prince joined us and demonstrated how he uses Reason to put his best-selling tracks together. Arabian Prince is mostly known for his membership in NWA. He is also a world famous DJ and producer still very active, and is also known as Professor X.
The Stockholm retailers were told that once Arabian started to use Reason, one of the first objects he sold from his studio was the high-end multi-channel mixer with flying faders.
Yes - That is a picture of a Roland TR-808 sticking out behind the Reason document. Arabian was happy to tell us how he still used the original drum sounds from the 808. In order to capture the original feeling of the 808 he usually sampled each drum a number of times and alternated between the samples in Reason. I guess you could call it "808-hypersampling".
The Finnish retailers are sitting very still, listening to a song from an upcoming Professor X album, and no - it's not a lullaby. In fact, hard electro beats were bouncing in the room as this picture was shot. Makes one wonder what would happen if he had played a ballad...
Rumors spread fast. As soon as the legendary Radio DJ Mats Nileskär heard about Arabian being in town, he got on a flight to Stockholm to do an interview. Are there any Hip Hop or Soul artists who still haven't been interviewed by Mats on his radio show "P3 Soul"?

The Stormers confirmed their Super Rugby title credentials on Friday with a convincing 23-13 victory over the Reds in Brisbane.
The Stormers confirmed their Super Rugby title credentials on Friday with a convincing 23-13 victory over the Reds at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
The result sees the Stormers provisionally return to the top of the overall standings as they bounced back from the only defeat of their campaign so far, against the Crusaders last week.
The South African side led from start to finish after racing away to a 17-3 lead at half-time thanks to tries from wing Gio Aplon and fly-half Peter Grant, who scored 18 points.
The Reds came back strongly in the second period though and clawed their way back into contention thanks to a try from skipper James Horwill.
But it proved too little too late and the defending champions were left empty handed when Grant landed a late penalty to deny the hosts a losing bonus point.
To make matters worse, the curse of the Reds number ten jersey struck again as Cape Town-educated Sam Lane was forced off the field early on with a serious knee injury.
Although the result does not come as a surprise, the Stormers once again impressed with their near-impenetrable defence and physicality at the breakdown.
The visitors cruised into a ten-point lead after as many minutes when Aplon waltzed over at the end of flowing move.
Grant extended the lead to 17-3 just before half-time after Juan de Jongh started a counter attack from his own goal line which ended with the fly-half beating a handful of defenders to sneak over, capping a wonderful 100m team effort.
Horwill crashed over on the hour mark after a malfunction at a Stormers line-out, but the home side never realistically threatened to snatch victory.
The scorers:
For Reds:
Try: Horwill
Con: Harris
Pens: Lucas, Harris
For Stormers:
Tries: Aplon, Grant
Cons: Grant 2
Pens: Grant 3
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Rod Davies, 13 Ben Tapuai, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Dom Shipperley, 10 Sam Lane, 9 Will Genia, 8 Radike Samo, 7 Beau Robinson, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Ben Daley.
Replacements: 16 Albert Anae, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Van Humphries, 19 Jake Schatz, 20 Liam Gill, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Nick Frisby.
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Bryan Habana, 12 Juan de Jongh, 11 Gio Aplon, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Duane Vermeulen (capt), 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Deon Fourie, 17 Frans Malherbe, 18 Nick Koster, 19 Nizaam Carr, 20 Louis Schreuder, 21 Burton Francis, 22 JP du Plessis.

BING SELFISH: The Unstrument Soundtrack
Howls of frustrated desire echoed from the world�s pampered socialites as they tried and failed to lift the soundtrack from Bing�s pseudonymous movie hit. So now they�ll be happy; the soundtrack CD makes even less sense than the award-winning film. These curiously acceptable songs are interspersed here with a bafflingly eclectic skein of sound collages, chase sequences, fights and snatches of dialogue that move the philosophical enquiry that is the movie on. The Beatles couldn�t have it done better. Trouble is, I NEVER joke about Bing so I�ve rather written myself into a corner here. But even if you LOATHE Selfish and all he stands for, you should buy this CD because it�s bloody brilliant - especially if you don�t know anything about the movie. And also because Bing has plastic surgery bills to make your eyes water (though worth every piastre). Great.

"Corporate Records Service tried to peddle their phony notices to Utah companies but our smart citizens brought this to our attention and we took action, "stated Francine A. Giani, "Our Division of Consumer Protection hopes Utah's case strongly encourages this company and others to seek business models that don't mislead the public for profit."
After investigators began receiving complaints from Utah consumers in early June, the Division issued a Citation against the company and its respondents June 26, 2013 which included three counts for violating the Utah Consumer Sales Practice Act.
According to the Citation, letters from Corporate Records Service directed Utah companies to send in $125.00 along with a list of company directors and other details to satisfy a Utah law pertaining to annual reports filing with the Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations.
According to Commerce officials, this was deceptive as the notice alleged that by following the letters' demands and paying the fee, the company would be in compliance with Utah statutes pertaining to annual shareholder meeting minutes which was untrue. In addition, the notice falsely claimed the company mailing the letter was located in Utah.
The Division's Settlement Agreement includes the following;
- Respondents agree to pay a $5,000 administrative fine to the Division of Consumer Protection.
- Respondents agree to cease and desist from all violations of the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act and cease sending misleading solicitations into the State of Utah.
- Respondents agree to refund any consumers who file a complaint pertaining to this violation.
Mandatory Poster Company and its respondents are known entities to Division investigators as the company previously tried to dupe businesses into purchasing workplace safety posters with language suggesting businesses were required to purchase the posters to comply with federal and state law. Those actions resulted in administrative Citations issued by the Division first in October 2006 for violating the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act which resulted in a $25,000 fine and again on July 20, 2011 for violating the Telephone Solicitation and Facsimile Solicitation Act and the Telephone Fraud Prevention Act resulting in a $15,000 fine.
For more information or to file a consumer complaint contact the Utah Division of Consumer Protection at (801) 530-6601 or log on to; www.consumerprotection.utah.gov

Thermal Analysis Measures Blistering Heat
Laura Bowen June 18, 2013
If you roast a turkey for dinner and you need to check the temperature, the technology exists to find it. But what happens if the temperature is so hot that a consumer-grade thermometer, or any man-made device, really, would instantly melt and be destroyed? This might not be a common occurrence in your kitchen, but it is a real concern in blast furnaces, where temperatures can reach close to 1,500°C. Simply guessing is far from safe. Luckily, by simulating with […]Read More

Seniors came from all over the county to enjoy one another's company, a great meal of lamb fry, barbecued chicken strips, salads, watermelon, cantaloupe, and a variety of desserts.
Seniors said, "This was a great luncheon and thanks go to all the directors of Senior Citizens Centers around the county that brought seniors in buses and participated in preparing and serving the food."
Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth welcomed everyone and introduced Al Shakespaere who had taken time off from work to entertain the group.
He sang and danced to many familiar songs. He even sang some Elvis Presley songs while shaking his legs similar to Elvis.

Made for small calves
"These boots are super cute and comfy, but are not made to fit small calves. Take the measurements seriously if you have larger calves."

"I have a really wide calf and these fit pretty good. They are still a little tight but I got them because the info said they fit wider calves. They fit mine alright so I like them."

Great Rain Boot
"I purchased these rain boots in black and have been wearing them for roughly a month through slush, snow, and rain and have to say I love them. I have very skinny calves and thus wear the adjustable part of the boot on the smallest hole, however could see these boots working for much large larger calves as well. I found the boot a bit large in the foot area, but was hesitant to return for a full size down thinking it may be too small. I wear thick socks and although the boots are still a bit loose it does not impede my everyday activities. I would recommend these boots to anyone."

"I love the design of these rainboots. They are not plain boring rainboots. I love the the pink heel. They are very comfy however slightly heavy. I haven't had any rainboots before so it might just be any rainboots, but they are certainly heavier than any of my other boots."

|In response to Re: Americast "creak" under load
: It's dead-on! I've triple checked it along the length of the tub!
: : It may be dead level, parallel, and smooth, but is it at the exact height so that it is supporting the flange but not lifting the tub off the floor?
: : : I have installed an Americast Princeton bathtub and find that flex under load at the back wall stringer creates a creaking noise. I confirmed the tub to be level front to back and side to side. The flange of the tub has a small gap (1/6 to 3/32 of an inch) at the drain end when resting on the stringer and the flex noise in that area stops when a small cedar wedge is fitted. I cannot find any other point with a tub flange to stringer gap of any sort.
: : : I have removed the tub inspected the stringer and floor and found them to be dead level, parallel and smooth.
: : : In preparation for reinstallation, I sanded off the mold selvage along the underside of the tubs flange area but am wondering whether there is any sort of bedding that I might put on the stringer to eliminate gaps and the resultant creaking noise when loaded? I'm concerned that whatever I do needs to be able to support the roughly 700 pound of water that a full tub will hold and have reasonable longevity.
: : : Given the large number of these tubs sold I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this problem.
: : : An ideas/suggestions will be appreciated!

Buy Expanding Study Abroad Capacity at U.S. Colleges and Universities
This is the sixth White Paper in IIE's study abroad capacity research series. It explores critical challenges and potential strategies from the perspective of U.S. institutions to address ongoing needs and solutions for expanding the field of international education for U.S. students.
To stimulate and help inform the ongoing dialogue about increasing study abroad capacity, IIE has invited its colleague organizations, the Forum on Education Abroad and NAFSA: Association of International Educators, to contribute chapters to this White Paper, adding context to the survey jointly conducted by the Institute and the Forum. A final chapter from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars focuses on the impact of scholar and faculty exchange on study abroad participation.
About IIE's Meeting America's Global Education Challenge White Paper Series Through a series of surveys and dialogs, the Institute of International Education in 2007 launched a new policy research initiative to address the issue of capacity abroad (especially in non-traditional destinations) to host a greatly increased number of U.S. students, and to assure that U.S. campuses have the resources and structures available to prepare and send them.
This IIE initiative, Meeting America's Global Education Challenge, offers educators and policymakers focused data and information on current capabilities and future capacity, as well as recommendations for action to maximize resources and pave the way for substantial study abroad growth.

"Today's report shows how the actions of politically-motivated Administration officials botched the rollout of HealthCare.gov and wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars," Hatch said. "The findings of this report show the inexcusable nature of the Administration's disastrous failures. Unfortunately, it should come as no surprise that this Administration once again chose to put political expediency ahead of security and performance concerns. As we have seen in delay after delay, the Administration continues to simply ignore the fundamental flaws of the law instead of honestly acknowledging to American families that the law does not work. In the end, the problem with Obamacare is not just the failed rollout of HealthCare.gov, but the failed policies of the law that restrict patient choice and expand the powers of a bloated federal government."
"The Administration looked the other way on problems, even when the independent contractor hired to monitor the project was waving red flags, pointing to likely failure," Grassley said. "This website wasn't a 'Field of Dreams' fantasy where you hope for the best and everything works out because it's a movie. This involved taxpayer money and website users who wasted their time on something that wasn't working. When political will overpowers practical considerations, you get a mess like this website rollout."
Supporting Documents:
Key findings from the report include:
• TurningPoint Independent Verification & Validation (IVV)
o TurningPoint was brought in to conduct an Independent Verification & Validation (IVV), but CMS admitted that it didn't place much, if any, priority on these assessments. CMS also implied the reports weren't useful or up-to-date, although there is little to no evidence of that. In fact, many of the predictions TurningPoint made came to fruition. TurningPoint found:
At time of launch, only 23 percent of the website code was tested.
CMS had no requirements for the number of defects it would accept or any contingency plan in place.
There were problems in "all aspects" of the website a few weeks before launch.
• CMS Ignored Countless Red Flags: "Officials ignored countless red flags to launch a website with thousands of defects. The breakdown [of HealthCare.gov] was not a surprise to dozens of high level officials within CMS and HHS, nor to hundreds of individuals working for the contractors who had developed the code for the website. These individuals were aware for months of gaping holes in testing, critical security concerns, and failures under the most modest simulations."
• CMS Had No Coordinated Project Management: "The Obama Administration failed to task any one individual or entity within HHS or CMS with ensuring the success of the public face of Obamacare. While there were individuals and entities tasked with building and coordinating many of the business level components of the website, there was no central coordinator fully responsible for the development of the website, and no single contractor had the authority to direct other contractors."
• The White House Exerted Undue Political Influence: "Rather than delegate responsibility fully to HHS and/or CMS, the White House continually meddled in technical decisions and put pressure on CMS officials to launch the website on time, regardless of operability and security concerns."
HealthCare.gov was meant to be the face of the President's healthcare law, a simple and efficient website to facilitate the purchase of health insurance. HHS tasked the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with designing and creating the IT infrastructure for HealthCare.gov. Incredibly, CMS failed to put one official in charge of the entire project nor did CMS hire a lead contractor to direct the work of the many contractors tasked with building HealthCare.gov.
HHS delayed issuing unpopular regulations until after the 2012 elections, in early 2013, leaving CMS and its contractors only a handful of months to develop and test critical systems. In late spring of 2013 McKinsey & Company conducted a review of the development of the federal exchange and warned senior White House and CMS officials of critical risks to the development of the federal exchange and offered recommendations. These senior administration officials failed to implement McKinsey's recommendations and failed to share McKinsey's findings with their subordinates until after the Oct. 1 collapse of healthcare.gov.
Throughout the summer and early fall of 2013, the IT build was characterized by mismanagement, defects, work slippages, wasted effort, and a lack of communication. The White House meddled in technical decisions, further complicating an already dire situation. The federal exchange did not receive end-to-end performance or security testing and the system collapsed under the most modest performance simulations. However, White House and CMS officials continued to misrepresent that HealthCare.gov would be ready to go on launch day.
White House officials pressured CMS to launch on Oct. 1 despite dozens of reports from multiple organizations that the website was not ready. Individuals who raised concerns were ignored and any concerns they raised were swept under the rug. Delaying the release of HealthCare.gov was never an option, resulting in the irresponsible launch of a malfunctioning website.

Keeps My Hair In The Straight Style That I Put It In!KEEPS my hair in the straight style that I put it in! I love it. I only add it to my hair from the ears down, and just a TAD smoothed on the usual fly aways all over.Jan 26, 2007Sandy

Worked For MeIve seen this product on the market for a long time now, and when I was asked to be a bridesmaid at a friends outdoor wedding and had to style my own hair it was one of many products I took with me to see what I could do. I used it exactly as instructed, on soaking wet hair. I have fine, straight hair, the main problem I have is frizzy flyaways, even with lots and lots of hairspray it would never stay put. This product worked so well, I think Im going to start using it on a regular basis. All through the windy, raining beach wedding my hair stayed perfect! I do think I would have to be careful not to put too much in though and I could feel it was heavier than usual. I also have very oily scalp and now, 36 hours after applying the serum my hair doesnt feel oily like it usually does after applying this sort of product. Definately recommend it for fine flyaway prone hair.Mar 27, 2006Jane / Brisbane, Australia

Greasy Wavy HairI have always hated silicone products and now I heard that they actually break the hair down. When I use this product, it takes forever for my hair to dry and it ends up even more wavy than if I would not have used anything at all. I have used this and many other silicone products and have spent much ching. I prefer a good leave in conditioner for sleek results.Jul 16, 2005Denise / Pittsburgh

Silicone Products = Bad.I decided to buy this product after all the hype it was getting from my friends. I had the model hair used for this product - slighty dry, corkscrew curls that tend to get out of control.The serum did everything it wasnt supposed to do, making my hair drier and oilier than before. I didnt understand, seeing as I followed the directions exactly and tested it out more than once. It was so difficult to get my hair back to normal once I used the product!I came to a conclusion that the high concentration of silcone oils in the product just didnt work for my hair. Maybe it does wonders for other curly heads, but I find ingredients like the cyclomethicone just end up trashing my hair.May 9, 2005Yesenia / New York, NY

Meh.i have dried and fried hair so i decided to try this. i followed the directions just as they were written, but i didnt style my hair i just let it dry naturally. I just couldnt find a happy medium with it... if i put too little on, it was still frizzy and had an almost plastic feel to it. if i put too much, it was greasy and and oily-looking. no matter what i tried i couldnt get it "just right" i guess. i wouldnt recommend it to anyone, though it seems to be working with everyone else in these reviews...Apr 17, 2005Jojo / US

Anti-frizzI like the way the product eliminates frizz. If you use too much, it will make your hair oily and weigh it down. You only need a few pumps to get the job done.Mar 4, 2005Candice / California

Does What It ClaimsI have fairly straight hair, but since I got it cut to chin lenth it has been acting all poofy, not sleek. So I bought some of this and it really does get rid of static and fluffy duck syndrome. I cant put it too close to my roots though, because I wash my hair every other day, and on day 2 it looks oily if I apply this stuff near my scalp.Mar 2, 2005Jade / Minneapolis

Good Product But Definitely Doesn't Stand AloneAlthough you need extra product and it doesnt quite spread evenly through your soaking or damp hair, it does take away a lot of your frizz. You definitely need some kind of mousse or gel with it and then add some more frizz eaze after blow drying. It does work, you just need to work with the product a little. It reccomends 1 dime size for medium length hair, and I found I need at least three times that amount. I guess it all depends. Im still working with the product.Feb 11, 2005Paula / Indianapolis, IN

Long Hair Vs. Chlorine!I know everyone says this but I really have never written a review for a product before.For the past 3 weeks I have been spending on average 2 1/2 hours a night, 2 nights a week in a heavily chlorinated pool getting certified as a scuba diver. I have long color treated hair and you can imagine the damage the chlorine has done. My hair has been stripped, fly-away and generally unmanageable.Out of desperation I have tried numerous products during this time to not only remove the smell of chlorine but to try and repair the damage done to my hair. Yesterday I bought a trial size packet of Frizz-Ease Original formula. I had class last night and this morning washed my hair as usual and applied Frizz-Ease as directed by the package. When I dried my bangs, I couldnt believe what I saw!!! The control, and the SHINE!!! After my entire head of hair was dry and styled I spent another 5 "vanity" minutes in front of the mirror absolutely dumbfounded at the shine and control all over! Seriously, considering the damage which had been done, I never thought Id see shine like that in my hair ever again.Im going out today to buy a full sized bottle of Frizz-Ease and would gladly purchase stock as well if I could!!!Feb 2, 2005Carolyn Dufur / Davis, CA

SAFETY NET: Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
Learn how the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness stays informed of events on campus the methods they use to inform the community in the event of an emergency.
General information about the emergency response and evacuation procedures for Saint Louis University is publicized as part of the SLU's Clery Act compliance efforts. This information is available on the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness (DPSEP) web site.
DPSEP has the responsibility of responding to, and summoning the necessary resources, to mitigate, investigate, and document situations that may cause a significant emergency or dangerous situation. In addition, DPSEP has a responsibility to respond to such incidents to determine if the situation does in fact, pose a threat to the community. If that is the case, federal law requires that the institution immediately notify the campus community or the appropriate segments of the community who may be affected by the situation.
DPSEP receives information from various departments on campus, such as the Office of Environmental Safety and Services. If DPSEP or the Office of Environmental Safety and Services confirms that there is an emergency or dangerous situation that poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all members of the SLU Community, DPSEP, the Office of Environmental Safety and University Communications will collaborate to determine the content of the message and will use some or all of the systems described below to communicate the threat to the SLU community or to the appropriate segment of the community, if the threat is limited to a particular building or segment of the population. DPSEP and University Communications will, without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate the notification system, unless issuing a notification will, in the judgment of the first responders (including, but not limited to: DPSEP, St. Louis Metropolitan Police, St. Louis Fire Department), compromise the efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
In the event of a serious incident that poses an immediate threat to members of the SLU community, the University has various systems in place for communicating information quickly. Some or all of these methods of communication may be activated in the event of an immediate threat to the SLU community. These methods of communication include network emails, emergency voice and text messages that can be sent to a phone, and electronic signage. Students are required to register cellular phone numbers and email addresses to receive emergency messages. A student may also register a parent's phone number or email address. Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to register a phone number/email address in order to receive emergency messages.

At the November 2011 Huntington City Council meeting, the upcoming holidays were on the minds of the city with two events that will help celebrate them.
Councilman Jeff Cowley mentioned the annual Thanksgiving morning turkey trot. This is a 5k race down Center Street towards the desert and back and will start at 9 a.m. For the little children, there is a trot around the block. There is a $1 charge per person and each participant is given a t-shirt and is eligible to participate in the drawings that will follow.
Councilman Mark Justice announced the annual Huntington City Christmas party. Everyone is invited to come and eat and enjoy the festivities. The menu will include chili, chicken noodle soup, a potato bar with all the trimmings and various desserts. This will be held at Huntington Elementary School in the cafeteria and the gym on Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. There is no cost on this.
In other business, Councilman Travis Larsen gave an update on the new fire station and also an update on the water supply. The Huntington Canyon reservoirs are all at least 75 percent full already and the snow has started to fall and accumulate for next season. It is anticipated that the city will be in good shape next season.
Councilman Jerry Livingston thanked the people of Huntington that use the dumpster site for being conscientious with their dumping of trash, debris and branches. Livingston also reminded the residents that the city streets need to have all RVs, boats or trailers removed from the streets so that city crews can plow the snow easily and efficiently. The city ordinances allow for up to 72 hour parking.
Although it was a close election, current city councilmen Travis Larsen, Julie Jones and Jerry Livingston all retained their seats in the just past general election. Mayor Hilary Gordon congratulated them on their election.
Councilperson Julie Jones announced the beginning of a new program at the cemetery. People will be able to buy a park bench that city employees will place around the cemetery so that people may rest during their visits. Memorial plaques may be placed on these benches. Contact the city if you have a desire to participate.Residents who mutilate, lose or otherwise have to replace a garbage can will now be charged a fee for this replacement. If it is normal wear and tear, the resident will not be charged.
