From Mangafox: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/iris_zero/
In a world where every boy and girl has a special power called Iris, Toru who, as a result of not having any kind of special power, was bullied from a young age, lives by his motto: "low exposure" – to live without standing out. But his peaceful school life changes when he receives a certain "Confession" from the schools most popular girl, Koyuki. His motto begins to shake!!
The school fantasy story that shakes the heart begins with their meeting.
Genre(s): Mystery, Romance, School Life, Seinen, Supernatural
This is one of the mystery-supernatural-detective(?) type of manga (you can see by it's genre xD). There isn't any fighting, but the manga is very interesting and the concept of the main character being special by being normal, is very inquiring. I said normal, well he may not have any special powers, be athletic, even his IQ is probably normal or a little above, but his EQ is way over the charts and that is his most impresive trait, that allows him to survive in the world full of people with Iris power.

Making a gradual style transition from summer to fall is a process easily executed by way of details (though the not-so-subtle process of throwing a big chunky knit sweater over your head is in no way out of the question). LA blogger Jenny Ong opted to ease into the look of fall with a typical summer outfit adorned by black accessories. Her Sold Design Lab cuffed denim shorts are paired with a pastel yellow top, but her hat, shoes, and bag are all inky variations. We're loving the final touch of bangles and bracelets to bring this look an aura of Augusts' end.

Toronto, ON – Toronto Rock General Manager Terry Sanderson has announced the signing of 11 players following Toronto's rookie and free agent camp which was held over the weekend at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ontario.
Headlining the list of Rock signings is 2013 first round pick (9th overall) Ethan O'Connor. The 22-year old Milton, Ontario native agreed to a one-year contract and is the highest player selected by the Rock since the team selected Garrett Billings (6th overall) and Joel Dalgarno (7th overall) in the 2009 NLL draft.
"There was some real competition this weekend," said Sanderson. "We were very impressed with the work ethic of the players in camp over the two days. Having said that, it's November and there's a long way to go and with main camp beginning this weekend, there's still a lot of work to be done."
Other 2013 draft selections coming to terms on one-year agreements were second round pick Mike Woods (15th overall), third round pick Eric Law (28th overall) and fifth rounder Alex Lubczuk (44th overall). 2012 second round draft pick Bradley Kri also signed a one-year contract.
Veteran forward Brenden Thenhaus, who was a free agent after finishing the 2013 season on Toronto's practice roster, attended the Rock's camp over the weekend and has also agreed to a one-year deal.
Other free agents inking one-year agreements were goaltender Craig Wende, forward Jeff Swift and defenders Eric Pitre, Dustin Dunn and Craig England.
All signings are pending league approval.

Poor Dustin Penner. Beset upon again.
This time a year ago, PDP was being unfairly criticized for being fat and satisfied as he slogged through the Edmonton Oilers first 20 games of the season with about as much gusto as a honey wagon worker thrusting his pipe down the last hole of the day.
You remember. PDP, his pay cheque multiplied 10-fold by the $21.25 million offer sheet GM Kevin Lowe used to pluck him from Anaheim, was being singled out without any consideration for this Stanley Cup hangover. Without regard for a short summer of celebrating. Had PDP's critics even considered he was being asked to play more? With all that, how could he look anything but fat, lazy and slow?
Zip ahead to now, and PDP is unfairly suffering the indignity of being publicly pooped on by coach Craig MacTavish, who unbuckled his trousers and dumped a load on the three-toed forward with the Oilers getting ready to face the Detroit Red Wings tonight.
That movement has caused PDP apologists to rise up with a big wad of excuse-scented bum wipe at the ready.
How could MacT do this? Isn't it MacT's fault PDP is struggling mightily again? It's MacT, after all, who has mis-cast him, who has asked him to play out of position, who has given him the wrong linemates, the wrong situations in which to perform. It's clearly, some surmise, a desperate act by a coach trying to save himself, a coach whose team is tuning him out.
And besides, if you look hard enough, which some people have, you can find numbers that show PDP, still lugging that $4.25 million annual salary and all those unreasonable expectations like a millstone around his neck, isn't really THAT bad.
Well, yes he is. PDP is in MacTavish's doghouse again because, well, he's a dog. He's a big player who plays small and who plays only when he feels like it. PDP is a player, it's obvious, incapable of consistent commitment, be it to an off-season training regimen or the pursuit of pucks, opponents and excellence on the ice.
PDP is in the doghouse because he's not really interested in being the best he can be and because he doesn't play with the fire in his gut that many players, most of whom would give their left gonad to have his physical tools, do.
PDP is playing in the NHL. He's wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. What? There's more?
Here's what MacTavish said:
"When we signed Dustin we thought he'd be a top-two-line player," said MacTavish. "We thought the contract was a starting point for him but he views it as a finish line. I can't watch it, certainly not for another two-and-a-half years."
The bad news, as PDP continues to show-up Lowe and the Oilers organization for thinking he was worth a stack of cash and draft picks by shrugging his shoulders and paying lip service to commitment, is the contract is for three-and-half more seasons.
In 2007-08, with the short summer and greater expectations and ice time excuses at the ready after winning a Cup with the Ducks, PDP showed up in abysmal shape. His fitness testing proved that beyond any doubt.
After scoring 29 goals in Anaheim, it took almost one-third of the season for Penner to get going. Through 26 games, Penner scored four goals and added eight assists for 12 points. He finished the season, most of it spent with Shawn Horcoff and Ales Hemsky on the first line, with 23-24-47 and a minus-12 rating.
Through 15 games this season before MacTavish kicked his big backside up to the press box against Colorado, Penner had 3-1-4 and was a plus-6 in 16 games.
"You can't throw gratuitous ice-time at a player that's inconsistent," said MacTavish. "It's his competitiveness.
"The frustrating thing for me is he has the game but he can't find it and you have to put the work in. He has a great set of tools but his legs are inconsistent. He needs more horsepower."
Has MacTavish played a part in Penner's struggles? Sure he has. I didn't like seeing Penner moved off the left wing on the first line with Horcoff and Hemsky any more than I liked seeing Fernando Pisani force-fed into the middle from right wing, or having Eric Cole shifted to the left wing from the right side. I didn't get the thinking there.
But what I like even less is the lack of piss and vinegar in Penner's game, his reluctance to use the God-given tools -- size and strength -- he has. It's frustrating to see a big, strong man play so small. And no, I'm not talking about wanting Penner to become a tough guy or a board-busting plug who neglects the offensive end of the game.
That would be a waste, too, because Penner is one of those rare big men with great hands. I'd just like to see him knock more people on their asses, create more room for himself. Stick a glove in somebody's face.
And I don't care if he's put in less than optimal situations in which to perform -- ill-matched linemates or situations be damned, force the issue, show some fire, kick some ass.
What would you have if you could take Penner's body and physical tools and graft Ethan Moreau's heart, grit, character and competitiveness into the package? An all-star, that's what. But you can't, so you get what we have here. PDP is a player who'll score 25 goals without a truckload of commitment when, based on physical tools and talent, he should score 30-40 goals and have an impact on the game even when the puck won't go in for him.
You get a player who could be so much better, so much more than what he is -- the kind of player so many less talented plugs can only dream of being. And you get excuses for why he's not remotely close to being that player, and the disappointment and frustration that comes with his obvious lack of passion for the game.
Worse, it's not likely to change. Penner is what he is. Like I said, he's in the NHL. He's wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. There's more?
What a waste.
-- Listen to Robin Brownlee every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. on Just A Game with Jason Gregor on Team 1260.
baggedmilk; So where is the line between the players accountability and the coaches accountability?
If the players aren't performing in the manner the coach demands or expects, as is the case with Penner, then how do you judge whether the coach is to blame or the players are to blame?
As someone who clearly wants MacT gone, you should welcome him calling out the players because all he is effectively trying to do is remove another obstacle bewteen distinguishing where the players are coming up short and where his game plan is coming up short.
All I can say is, if this doesn't get Penner to play with some piss and vinegar when he does get back in the line up, then PDP IS the problem, because that's about as public of a tongue lashing as I've seen from MacT on anybody.
Dustin better turn in his man card if he doesn't come out swinging the next time in there, and I don't mean by way of fighting either.
It might be what the big softy needed.
Robin, I was asking a question based on jeanshorts comment. Where did I say Mac T said it does or doesn't mean anything? Why can a coach take a pass when a player is holding out for more money with the standard "I can't control that, that's up to the GM to handle, I leave the money issues with the GM etc etc" You can't ignore it and then try to exploit it. A coach should want performance out of any player he picks to be on his team no matter what they get paid. Calling him out is one thing and in this case it's deserved but when was the last time a coach said a guy should be making more money because he's really producing? By using his salary in his reasoning he's essentially saying he's making more than he deserves and that has nothing to do with the coach.

This team is a trainwreck - Penner may be leading the bunch in work ethic and points - but Cole is a non scorer at 4mm - show me the money says the hockey player (yeah right) - looking at this team right now is bunch of donkeys - I am cheering against the oil so we hit rock bottom - clear the coach - psychologist and kick them in the butt - does anyone fear MacT - dont think so - I wouldn't even fear Lowe - with guaranteed contracts you hide on non contract years - nothing is positive right now - go wings. The Oil are fortunate that the Eskimos lost as the print and airwaves has are sharing the losses on Monday.
Shakey: You're splitting hairs. The money does matter in this case. Penner hit the jackpot and it seems he's satisfied with that. MacTavish is pointing that out because it's a factor in Penner's non-performance.
With most elite players, the money doesn't matter in terms of being a motivator. Does Joe Sakic need to be at his best year after year with $50 million in the bank? Jarome Iginla? Marian Hossa? Chris Pronger? On and on you could go.
With others, they get the big deal and then disappear. They aren't motivated from within to excel. They take the money and run.
November 17 2008, 04:04PM
What a waste of time talking about two guys neither of whom would have anything to do with this team if I was Katz.
November 17 2008, 04:13PM
Deep Oil Says: This team is a trainwreck . . .
I don't think some people have any sense of proportion. The Oilers are sitting at around .500 with 17 games played. That hardly seems like the end of our playoff hopes to me. Even Ottawa, in the league's basement so far this year at 6-9-2, needs only to win 3 or 4 games to be right back in the hunt. Throwing the word trainwreck around may be a little premature. Don't hurt yourself jumping on and off the bandwagon, eh?
Robin, I see what you're saying about his contract being his high point and now he thinks can relax but I just don't think it should come into play when a coach is talking. Through all of this I have heard nothing about why Brodziak was sat and there seems to be no fire or passion from either side because of that. Was he not earning his money or is there more to that? I actually was surprised because Brodziak works hard and defensively has looked solid.
November 17 2008, 04:22PM
Right now the Oilers are a trainwreck right now. When a player like Cole, who is a consistant and proven point getters is not doing that for the first time you have to ask yourself why?
Up and down this lineup MacT is trying to fit square pegs in round holes and something has got to give. This is a better team than a .500 record dictates. Not to mention having to pull out a graphing calculater to figure out the advanced calculus required in determining which goalie is going to play.
Some of these guys have little confidence right now and it's not going to help to get dumped on.
Brownlee, you're right. It's when Tambo and Lowe decide it's time. I hope they start checking their watch.
I can see Penner sitting again if what has been said and done by MacT has not improved Penner's attitude. Who knows, maybe Penner buried himself in cheeseburgers after practice? Maybe penner likes sitting in the pressbox and collecting a cheque? All I know is, with the option of playing Boulerice or Reddox, Penner doesn't have a lot to worry about. If they were concerned about giving guys some motivation, the Oilers should have called up Schremp or Brule - someone who is a legitimate threat to permanently take over Penner's position.
November 17 2008, 04:40PM
Gord Says: If they were concerned about giving guys some motivation, the Oilers should have called up Schremp or Brule - someone who is a legitimate threat to permanently take over Penner's position. DEREK VAN DIEST, SUN MEDIA writes: A fifth-round pick of the Oilers - 112th overall - in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Reddox had five goals and four assists in 12 games with the Falcons prior to his callup. Reddox finished plus-one on the night with over 15 minutes of ice time, which included some penalty-killing duty. He'll be back in the lineup tonight when the Oilers take on the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. "He played great (Saturday) night," said MacTavish. "I was excited by what I saw. He made plays on the wall, he made the right play with the puck and he really added something. "Hopefully he can continue that. Bucky (assistant coach Kelly Buchberger) seems to think - knowing him better than I do - that he can." "When the puck came around the wall, he didn't need three chances to get it out," MacTavish said. "He made the right play, whether he chipped it out under pressure, whether he controlled it and made a pass. "It's just those little things positionally, he supported the puck well on the cycle. The play didn't die with him in the offensive zone, he took it to the net when he needed to. He's got good habits and he played a pretty good game."
I have to think the guys whose jobs are on the line to get this right and have been involved in pro hockey their whole lives might see something in this Reddox kid. Who's to say that he doesn't stick? After all, this whole section is about rewarding the players who put in the effort, something we haven't seen a lot of from Schremp or Brule. (OK, Schremp worked out a bit this summer for the first time. Is he still doing it now that he got sent down, and is the whole thing too little, too late?) For all we know, Liam Reddox is the last guy off the ice every day and the first guy into the weight room on days off. And maybe that's an attitude that wouldn't hurt being spread around a bit in this dressing room. Have a little faith.
I never said Reddox wasn't a player, but the impression from MacT's interview, he seemed to think Reddox couldn't keep it up over the long haul.

What would you have if you could take Penner's body and physical tools and graft Ethan Moreau's heart, grit, character and competitiveness into the package?"
Sounds to me like I'd have a date for my Christmas party!!!!
November 17 2008, 08:55PM
I want Stauffer back on CFRN where he can really tell us how he feels about MacT's coaching abilities.
CHED has mellowed him down plenty. Bob, pleeeeeaaaase go back to 1260, Gregor is a nice guy but he doesn't have your piss and vinegar.
Gregor on air = Penner on ice? LOL
You are an idiot. Gregor rips on guys, he just doesn't repeat the same idea day after day after day. We all knew Bob didn't like MacT, but telling us every day got boring.
I like the fact that Gregor holds the players and the coaches accountable. He has ripped MacT this year, but unlike Bob he calls out every player.
Bob ripped on the same guys a lot, and many of them were 3rd and 4th liners who really didn't affect the game.
I like how Gregor says that Hemsky needs to be a top-end player, and that this team isn't that good. Stauffer was a closet fan of the team. He liked the players too much and always blamed the coach.
The fact is Gregor actually calls out the team, and many fans like you don't like that. You want to blame the coach for everything, and since Gregor has a different approach you think he is soft.
Typical because you think a new coach means automatically that this team would be better. I guarantee a new coach won't make this team that much better. They are too soft and not as skilled as many fans think. I like that Gregor is realistic about that.
November 18 2008, 08:22AM
"I don't think some people have any sense of proportion. The Oilers are sitting at around .500 with 17 games played. That hardly seems like the end of our playoff hopes to me."
This is what I don't get. We get waxed by (probably) the best team in the NHL and everybody is screaming for the coach to resign.
Seriously. High expectations are good but a dose of reality seems to be missing along the way here.
"This is what I don't get. We get waxed by (probably) the best team in the NHL and everybody is screaming for the coach to resign.
Seriously. High expectations are good but a dose of reality seems to be missing along the way here."
Maybe because the team came out flat and provided no real effort, despite MacT benching guys for their poor performance? I don't expect the Oilers to win every game, but I do expect that they play with some emotion. That hasn't been the case yet this year as I can count very easily on my thumbs how many games they have played a whole 60 minutes.
Gregor's show sucks compared to Bob's IMO. He annoys me. Bob had his opinion and agreed or disagreed with you based on that. Gregor obviously disagrees with you to make radio, whether his opinion is agreeable or not. He disagrees just for the sake of disagreeing, and is cocky as fcuk too. Stauff at least had the self depreciating sense of humour to go with his strong opinions. Gregor drives me nuts. Can't listen to it anymore....
And listening to a trivia show on drive time is beyond brutal. Trivia shows on an Oiler game night is even worse. I don't know how Bryn allows it...
The Team 1260 has to be hurting since the Oil paid Bob to shuddap.
November 18 2008, 04:36PM
Gord - I'll give you that we haven't seen too many 60 minute games yet, and I'm at a loss to explain why. But I'm not gonna go all couch quarterback because there's alot we don't know about what's really going on inside the team right now.
As far as the Detroit game goes, I thought we were only down 1-0 after the first. That seems to indicate that we played a pretty fair period. Not to mention that teams like Detroit make just about anybody look like they're standing around.
PDP. By the way did you guys now that penner means bum in german? How ironic.
November 18 2008, 07:00PM
[...] Robin Brownlee wrote a great piece on Dustin "PDP" Penner yesterday and called out all the Penner Lovers for making excuses for the tubby bugger. Not having been irrationally en amour with an Oiler since Ryan Smyth left town, we feel qualified to pen a rebuttal. [...]
Great display of leadership on the part of Souray during last night's game. He made a point of almost over congratulating Penner for his efforts at the end of each goal, probably something Penner needed for his confidence.
Kevin: Absolutely right. That's the kind of game Penner is capable of and the kind of game that should be expected. He's been called out and now it's only fair -- not to mention smart -- that he be put in a position to succeed and encouraged when he puts in the effort.
November 21 2008, 05:43AM
"force the issue, show some fire, kick some ass." that sums it all up.
if he cant find any guts, he shouldnt even be playing sports. who plays sports with no fire? or is this part of the whole Nintendo Generation where their Nintendo Mother sucked the guts out of them back in the 90s? Sam Gagner might start weeping soon too when the game gets too hard for his lack of size and speed.
the fatal mistake is no one figuring this lack of competitive fire out before they threw the house at the Elephant who seen a Mouse (relatively speaking cause this is the max hes EVER going to get).
the prankster pulled off the best prank ever on Lowe.

Half-Naked Torch-Wielding Man Delights Hillary Clinton
Oh man, why don't we all get to go to Hawaii right now! The Obamas and Hillary Clinton get to go to Hawaii, for a conference. What about the rest of us? Impeach them. Look at the fun they're having. Hillary Clinton and Donald Tsang, the "chief executive of Hong Kong," were posing for a Hawaii photo and who runs past but this guy in a loin cloth with his torch. Everyone laughs! He was probably late for his fire dancing job, the silly billy.

The cardinal is still eligible to vote for the next pope.
LOS ANGELES -- After the release of damning sex abuse documents that prompted a rare public rebuke from the current archbishop of Los Angeles, retired Cardinal Roger Mahony again finds himself in the spotlight -- this time over his upcoming vote in the conclave to elect a new pope.
Despite allegations of hiding sexual abuse by priests and then being sidelined by current Archbishop Jose Gomez, Mahony remains a cardinal, a priest "in good standing" and under age 80 -- all enough to make him eligible to be one of just 11 American cardinals to hold a vote in next month's conclave.
"I look forward to traveling to Rome soon to help thank Pope Benedict XVI for his gifted service to the church, and to participate in the Conclave to elect his successor," Mahony wrote on his personal blog hours after the pope's stunning resignation announcement.
Others, however, say Mahony should stay home.
The left-leaning group Catholics United, which has started an online petition objecting to Mahony's role, said that the retired cardinal "should re-examine his priorities and stay home."
"Cardinal Mahony should do the right thing and stay home," the group said. "By putting children in danger, he's lost his ability to have a voice in the Church."
Mahony faces the same criticism that was directed at Cardinal Bernard Law in 2005. Law resigned in disgrace as archbishop of Boston in 2002 when the abuse scandal exploded. But he nonetheless got a vote in the 2005 conclave that elected Benedict.
Tradition says that an archdiocese should not have more than one cardinal-elector at a time, which means Gomez will have to wait to be named a cardinal until after the 76-year-old Mahony loses his vote in 2016.
Gomez called the 14,000 pages of internal church records full of "terribly sad and evil behavior," and promptly removed Mahony from all "administrative or public duties." But under church law, cardinals are ultimately answerable only to the pope himself, not the local bishop.
Manuel Vega, who was abused as an altar boy, told the Los Angeles Times that he couldn't understand how Mahony could retain a vote in the College of Cardinals.
"Mahony is going without clean hands," he told the newspaper. "His hands are dirty ... from covering up years of sexual abuse. How can he be part of the conclave?"
But across the sprawling archdiocese, Mahony's vote in the conclave is being greeted by many others with a shrug.
The Rev. Thomas Welbers of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills said Mahony's position as a member of the conclave is just part of the process.
"Voting rights are not determined by how others may feel about the person," Welbers said.
Others were openly supportive of the man who led the nation's largest archdiocese from 1985 to 2011.
Mike Flota, a parishioner at St. Agnes Church, in Los Angeles said, Mahony is just another sinner in need of forgiveness. "Nobody is perfect," Flota, 65, said. "He feels remorse."
The Vatican Press Office said the date of the conclave would be announced on March 1, the day after Benedict retires.
On Thursday, the 85-year old pontiff, in a 45-minute unscripted speech to Rome's priests, said he planned to live "hidden from the world" in a quiet life of prayer.

Gasping for breath
Mileage: 10.5
July mileage: 411.8
Temperature upon departure: 66
Inches of rain today: Trace
I completely blew up on a climb today. Imploded. I was following Geoff up the Salmon Creek trail, the first part where you really have to take the full brunt of an average Juneau slope, mashing my pedals and promising myself that I would ride the entire climb. The dark shadows crept along my peripheral vision, and that was OK; the red dots starting shooting across my line of sight, and that was OK; the gasps and whimpers started to come out involuntarily, and even that was OK - until breathing ceased to be an option. I nearly tipped over sideways before I slammed by foot down.
That was probably the furthest I've ever fought before giving into inevitable defeat. It was also a good reality check about my fitness level. I thought I'd gotten into pretty good shape since spring, but it's obvious that my lungs are nowhere near peak performance. My fear of injury continues pressuring me to hold back. I've put in a few long slogs this summer, but I still haven't done anything hard.
A quick solution? More hiking! All of the good trails involve at least a short, bikeable stretch where I'm required to put in 100-percent pedal effort. After the trails become unbikeable, they're wickedly nearly unhikeable. Good, steep stuff that prevents me from faking anything. Today was my first time on the upper stretch of Salmon Creek. There's a reservoir up there, which means lots of weird infrastructure on the trail - rickety stairs, pipes and a giant holding tank. You'd think the stairs would make the hiking easier, but the wasn't really the case with me. I still struggle when walking down stairs - seems stairs are my bad knee's last bastion of pain. Plus, wet wood has never quite agreed with the bottoms of my shoes. After I slipped out a third time, I started thinking up headlines - "Graceless hiker tumbles to death on backcountry staircase." "Mountaineering experience no match for stairs."
The downward hike was strenuous, but the return ride was effortless and fun. I need to combine these ride/hikes more often. They involve more of a time sacrifice than I'm usually able to make during the workweek, but I expect the dividend will be a nice spike in fitness.

How are all your fellow Alaskans gonna feel about the teeming masses relocating to live in their fair state - drawn there solely because of your blogging and beautiful photos??ReplyDelete
Hi Jill!ReplyDelete
I've been reading your biking adventures for a while... and those landscapes.... wow... it makes me wonder whay i live stuck in a town with no landscapes worth going for a ride! I love nature, and the nature of your surrounding is really beautiful... Keep us posted!
Salmon Creek is one of those hikes bear contact seems possible on, don't you think? This is one of my favorite "end of the hike" views. Ok, I admit it: it does look nice in the July sun. ;,) There are also some nice reflecting ponds with trees partially submerged down lower if I recall correctly...ReplyDelete
it should be known that this climb that jill was unable to conquer is about as steep of a hill as you'd ever attemp to ride a bike up... and it extends on for 1/4 mile or more. very few would even try to make this climb. i'd compare it to murphy's hogback in the clockwise direction for those that are familiar with the white rim... just with a smoother surface and a little bit shorter.ReplyDelete

Skip to comments.Refurbished LBJ Plane Goes On Display At LBJ Ranch (Lockheed C-140 JetStar)
Posted on 08/26/2010 4:14:16 PM PDT by Ready4Freddy
(AP) STONEWALL, Texas (AP) - Luci Baines Johnson remembers as a teenager riding in a shiny mirror-finished jet trimmed with sky blue and white paint and emblazoned with black letters proclaiming "United States of America," then landing on a narrow Texas airstrip behind what Americans would come to know as the Western White House.
"A country runway," she said this week of the roughly mile-long airstrip behind President Lyndon Johnson's ranch, her childhood home and now part of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park.
The National Park Service, which manages the park, will formally acquire the JetStar aircraft Johnson used as vice president - then during his five-plus years as the nation's 36th president - on Friday, LBJ's 102nd birthday.
Rescued from a scrap yard in the Arizona desert where it had been mothballed and cannibalized for parts, the four-engine Lockheed C-140 JetStar has been refurbished on the outside to look as good as new.
Five trucks brought pieces of the plane earlier this month to the LBJ Ranch about 70 miles west of Austin, where it was reassembled as a permanent exhibit for visitors, who should number about 100,000 this year. It's displayed under an open-air hangar on the same spot where it was parked in the 1960s.
"I am one of those just thrilled to death to have it coming home," Johnson's younger daughter said. "And I think my daddy would be just tickled beyond words."
Acquiring the plane was the idea of James U. Cross, a retired Air Force brigadier general who served as Johnson's pilot and top military assistant. Cross spotted one on display about four or five years ago at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.
(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...
"N329J served as Clarence (Kelly) Johnson's personal transport for some time."
I can't understand why we have to pay to memorialize this turd.
I wonder if LBJ's seat is there might be a tempting Latrine.
That looks like the same kind of plane Pussy Galore flew in "Goldfinger".
If you want to talk about white trash start with Lyndon Johnson! He had the moral standards of a hog.
LOL! I thought Hey, that's Goldfinger's plane!;)
I wish I was speaker of the house I would defund that garbage pit day one.
I agree about LBJ, however, it is nice airplane porn...
Four turbojet engines. Great for the next time jet fuel is $0.09/gal.
This has been a few years ago and I do not have the source so you can take it for what it's worth, but there was a piece on the former Presidents and people that worked for them and around them were being interviewed about the POTUS' personal habits and mannerisms. Someone who was on the flight home with Johnson after his term said if it wasn't nailed down in the plane, he took it. Whatever was loose; glasses, towels, dinnerware etc. Lovely huh? That always stuck out in my mind as I had heard he was a crude b*sta*d for years. I'm sure this being on display would have suited him just fine.
Johnson's sleazy history runs way back to the great depression days, he was running with some pure evil.
thank you LBJ for bankrupting our nation, devaluing our currency, and destroying the character of our nation.
One of the three most destructive men to occupy the white house.
We are not about to send American boys nine or ten thousand miles away from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves, Johnson famously declared.
oh I would argue Wilson and FDR did FAR more damage to the nation than Carter or Clinton.
Obama's made a good start but it's too early to tell if he will have as long lasting destructive effect as LBJ and those other two.
That's the one that made him un-electable in '68. By then he and McNamara were sticking pins into maps in the White House to order up bombing missions. If I wrote what I think about that I'd be banned.
Yes, same model.
Robert Caro wrote the definitive history of LBJ. A very complex man. It is also the history of Texas politics. I understand his fourth book on LBJ presidential years will come out in 2012. Brilliant writer.
I read that book and remember LBJ's secretary was named Mary Rather. I always wondered if she was kin to Dan.
I don't think so. In his entry on Wikipedia no other sibling is mentioned.
LBJ life, written so far in 3 books, I believe will end with the 4th about his presidential years. Caro dedicates about 10 years of research and writing to each book and he is not young himself.
In the first book there is a fascinating chapter on the Texas Hill Country life, his description is so vivid you are totally transported in that time.
I am interested in reading about LBJ because it is part of the political history I did not know as I was raised in Europe.
Same pussy, less galore.
The man was a bonafide POS, a bully and a few other things thrown in for good measure.
Can I say that here?
Perhaps I should have done a search & replace, substituting LBJ for Reagan. ;>)
The we could have focused on the plane.
Make that 'Reagan for LBJ'.
I did not know there was more than one book. The one I read did go into detail about LBJ stealing the U.S. Senate election from Coke Stevenson. It also makes me think a lot less of Truman who helped Johnson get away with it after he basically was caught red handed.
Also interesting that famed Texas Ranger Frank Hamer was the one who caught Johnson, he was the same guy who caught Bonnie and Clyde.
I used to date a little cutie who went to South West Texas state. She told me that LBJ stole the senior class treasury when he was at SWTS.
Every hear that creepy tape of him hitting on Jackie right after Kennedy was shot? Ick!
You amd me, both. Banned from FR for life.

How is coal used? In the United States, coal is primarily used to generate electricity. It is also used as a source of coke for the steel industry. Coal by-products are used in such diverse products as linoleum, medicines, detergents, perfumes, food flavorings, fungicides, insecticides, solvents, and wood preservatives.
How is coal formed? Coal is a fossil fuel that consists predominantly of carbonized plant material. Millions of years ago, the Wyoming climate was humid and mild enough to support dense, rich forests; as evidenced by the abundant plant fossils found in the coal-bearing rocks of the area. Peat beds, composed of the dead plant material derived from these forests, formed in swamps adjacent to ancient rivers that once flowed across this part of Wyoming. Over time and exposure to both pressure and heat, the peat was compressed and altered to form coal beds.
Early coal mining: Coal was initially discovered in Wyoming in 1843 by the Fremont Expedition. Coal mining began in the Rock Springs area with the arrival of the railroad in the early 1860's. Large amounts of coal were needed to power the steam engines. Underground mines were opened on the seam outcrops and drifted back into the hillside until the pressure from the overlying rock became too great to allow the entries to stay open safely. Early underground coal mining primarily used drilling, blasting, loading and hauling to remove the coal from the face. Most of these tasks were done manually as very little automation existed. Modern-day coal mining in the area now occurs both underground and on the surface with larger, more automated equipment.
Current surface coal mining techniques use a near concurrent cycle of material removal and backfill. A pit is opened by removing the topsoil, which is either used to reclaim other mined- out areas or stockpiled for later use. Then, the overburden material overlying the coal is removed and carried around behind the pit and is placed in an area where the coal has previously been recovered. The exposed coal is loosened by blasting and then removed by large power shovels scrapers, or front-end loaders and loaded into large dump trucks. These haul trucks take the coal to a centrally located load-out area where it is blended and loaded onto a conveyor belt which takes it to a stockpile, unit train, or a power plant. As the pit progresses, the backfilled areas are regraded to approximate original surface contours. Topsoil is replaced and subsequently the area is seeded with indigenous plants.
Where is coal mined in southwestern Wyoming? Presently, coal deposits in the Rock Springs vicinity are being mined from the northeastern flank of the Rock Springs Uplift located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. Two different operators are recovering coal from the Almond, Fort Union and Lance Formations; one operation is surface, the other is underground and surface. Coal mining also occurs near Kemmerer in Lincoln County, Wyoming. This deposit is composed of multiple coal seams in the Adaville Formation that dip steeply to the west. Due to this unique geologic setting, the operator has developed Wyoming's deepest open-pit coal mine.
Statistics: The BLM Rock Springs Office oversees management of approximately 42,000 acres of federal coal leases held by the four different operators. These operators are Bridger Coal Company and Black Butte Coal Company, both located to the east of Rock Springs, and P&M located near Kemmerer and Arch Coal, Inc., east of Hanna, WY. Annual combined output for these mine operations in 2006 exceeded 13.9 million tons of coal, produced by a labor force numbering 864 people.

The San Rafael Bulldogs captured the tournament championship on Feb. 17 at San Rafael Junior High. The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead with the ball finding its way under the basket to the big men for a majority of the points as they led by 17-4 at the end of one quarter.
The Mont Harmon Pirates came charging back into the ball game in the second quarter as they narrowed the score to 30-22 at the half. During halftime there were performances by the Mont Harmon and San Rafael cheerleaders.
At the end of the third quarter the Bulldogs were up by a score of 46-29. Trevor Mitcheson for the Bulldogs found himself sitting on the bench with four fouls. A couple of turnovers by San Rafael quickly converted to points by the Pirates. Fouls called on San Rafael and made free throws by the Pirates brought them to within 12 at 7:27 to play in the game. The Pirates crawled to within 10 points. Cody Allen added two free throws to the Bulldog tally. Jason Child for the Pirates added a 3 point shot to bring them within 10 again with 4:15 left in the game.
Allen put in a jumper and Tyson Stevens for the Pirates added 2 points and then Child hit for a three to bring the score to 51 Bulldogs and 44 Pirates. San Rafael lost the ball and the Pirates recovered. A foul on Mont Harmon brought the ball back to the Bulldog side of the floor and the score stood at 51-44 with 2:30 to go in the game. Allen dropped in 2 points and Mont Harmon dropped in two to remain within 7 points. A traveling call on Mont Harmon gave the ball back to the Bulldogs and then Mont Harmon called a timeout to talk things over with the clock at 1:56 and the score 53-46.
The referees called an interesting foul on Mitcheson and he had to sit down with five fouls. This gave the ball back to Mont Harmon with 1:15 to go. The inbounds pass was tipped out a couple of times by the Bulldogs and Child was able to add 2 points to the Pirate total to bring them within 2 points of the Bulldogs.
The Pirates foul Nick Larson and he misses the foul shot and Mont Harmon snags the rebound. The score stands at 53-51 with the clock down to 31.1 seconds. Mont Harmon inbounds the pass and throws the ball around and San Rafael gets a hand on it. Mont Harmon throws the ball away with 7.7 left to play. The ball comes back to San Rafael and Allen is fouled while shooting and puts in the two free throws to put the game away for the Bulldogs. The clock expires with a final score of 55 San Rafael and 51 Pirates.
The winning Bulldogs took home the tournament trophy and the Mont Harmon Pirates took home the league champions trophy.
With a win in the Region 16 tournament in Castle Dale, the Green River Pirate basketball season is still alive and will continue their play this week. The Pirates faced the Rich Rebels on Thursday and lost a close game 65-59. On Friday, in a must win to play again game; the Pirates defeated the Whitehorse Raiders 62-48. On Saturday, the Pirates faced the Altamont Longhorns and lost another close game 40-36.
The Pirates inconsistency has concerned Coach Stan Parsons all season, We sometimes play offense, we sometimes play defense, we sometimes even play an entire game. We need to play to our potential. Before the Rich game he said, We need to be good on defense today to be able to do anything. Our offense is coming along, but our defense has to be there.
Against Rich, a not so good first half led to their downfall as a great second half was not quite good enough. Rich got out to an early lead of 14-10 after the first period as Green River had the open shot that they wanted but were unable to convert the attempt to points.
The second period saw the Rebels outscore the Pirates by 10 points as they went to the half leading Green River 37-23. The Pirates aided the Rebel cause with too many turnovers in the period and were a little soft on defense as Rich got to the basket way to easy.
In the second half, a different Pirate team came from the locker room as they played way more confidently and executed their game plan on offense better. They outscored Rich 21-17 in the period. Jake Mecham led the way with 9 points and Kaden Robertson added six more.
In the fourth quarter, the Pirates went on a 9-2 run and cut the score to 56-53. With the score at 61-59 Rich, the Pirate offense was unable to score again after they fouled Rich to get the ball back as Rich stalled. Rich went to the line three times in the last minute and shot free throws and each time the Pirates ended their possession with a turnover to seal their loss.
Parsons had this to say after the game, We were not sharp today, we waited too long to be good. We allowed them too big of an advantage.
Mecham led the Pirate scoring with 23 points followed by Robertson with 14 points. Cody Webster had 8 points and Hyrum Mitchell and Kaleb Fail had 7 points each.
On Friday against Whitehorse, the Pirates used a huge fourth quarter to erase a Raider lead. After trailing 40-39 after the third period, Green River outscored their opponent 23-8 in that final period to secure the victory and more importantly, the opportunity to play the next week.
Webster had a big game as he scored 26 points to lead the offense. Mecham added 12 points and Fail added 11 points. Also scoring were Robertson and Mitchell with 4 points each, Brent Johnson and Parker Hatt each had 2 points and Jace Vetere had a single point.
On Saturday, in a game that was only for region seeding and pride, the Pirates lost another close game to Altamont. Green River led after the first and second periods and was tied after the third period at 30-30. It was the last two minutes of the game before Altamont was able to pull away with a 3-pointer and win the game.
Mecham led the way with 13 points; Robertson added 9 points and Webster scored 8 points. Also scoring were Johnson with 4 points and Mitchell with 2 points.
Green River now plays a game against Piute on Feb. 28, for the right to travel to Southern Utah University to play in the 1-A State tournament.
If they defeat Piute, they will play Wednesday at 4 pm against either Dugway or West Desert, who finished tied in Region 18.
Their opponent will be decided by a coin flip.

Not what I expected
"I only tried these shoes on, so I don't know how they are if you wear them for a while, but I won't be wearing them and here is why.I normally wear size 8, so I got 8 from checking the size chart and they are too tight. Not just tight in length, but also very narrow. 8.5 might feel better, but I doubt the width will change. And not that i have wide feet - other shoes fit just fine.I decided to return them because there's just too many things I don't like about this shoe. The laces are way too long and kind of unnecessary. It all looks good in the picture, but then where do you think the rest of the laces go? Nowhere! They come in a knot inside a shoe and I have no idea how you are supposed to arrange them.The shoe is also very light. Some might like it, but I like when a sneaker has a weight to it. It is so light, almost feels flimsy, and the sole is thin. Might work as a summer wear, but definitely not for colder weather.The top is not high at all. The shoe is barely taller than my non-high-top Nikes. I tried them on with skinny pants and the pants went over the top, so you can't even see the top of the shoe. I'm guessing you'll have to wear them with very skinny jeans or leggins."

Friday Five-Hole: Jets Weak in Review
Rhys Finnick
November 08 2013 12:42PM
Pavelec's pre-game ritual. Car not pictured.
This weekly column looks to discuss a certain number of relevant Jets topics on a certain day of the week. That certain number? Five. That day of the week? Friday. Also, hole. This is the Friday Five-Hole.
It was an up-and-down week for the Jets. Two embarrassing losses to the Stanley Cup champ Blackhawks sandwiched a suprisingly dominant thrashing of the Red Wings - a team the Jets haven't beat since they were the Thrashers. The Jets were outscored 11-6 and went 0-9 on the powerplay.
This is yet another disappointing week overall for the Jets, who haven't won consecutive games since the first two outings of the season. Sitting comfortably at the bottom of the Central division, Winnipeg is already eight points out of the final wild card playoff spot. The Jets have tunneled themselves into a remarkably deep hole in just six weeks time, and it's going to take some drastic changes to dig themselves out.
The solution seems simple enough though, doesn't it? Any moderate-to-obsessive Jets fan who reads the newspaper can tell you exactly what the Jets need to do: fire Claude Noel, get a top line centre, add some scoring/defensive depth, and acquire a starting goaltender who doesn't give up goals like we're having a fire sale.
So...basically a whole new team, right? How about the Blackhawks? We should be the Blackhawks.
The Jets' blueline suffered yet another loss when Mark Stuart went down with a hip injury last week, joining fellow D-men Jacob Trouba and Paul Postma on the injured reserve. The club recalled Ben Chiarot to help fill the gap, and when that didn't work, Keaton Ellerby was claimed off waivers from Los Angeles.
Winnipeg only has three good defencemen in Byfuglien, Enstrom, and Bogosian, and they know it. All three average over twenty-two minutes of icetime and see action in virtually every game situation. Even if the regular blueline was healthy, the Jets still wouldn't be relying too heavily on anybody past the aforementioned players (with the exception of Trouba, who you might have heard is expected to be more than a bottom pairing plug).
The forward corps also took a hit this week when the Jets' star winger went down indefinitely with a sports hernia. This is perhaps even worse news than the depleted blueline for the Jets, who are averaging just 2.24 goals per game - good for 24th in the NHL. With Slater gone, Winnipeg is one more significant injury away from disaster.
Oh, and also, Evander Kane is injured too.
This image has already been used on Jets Nation this week, but it's worth another look.
On Wednesday night in Chicago, Brandon Bollig threw a heavy hit on Adam Pardy in the Jets' zone, knocking the glass from the boards and into the crowd. During the ensuing mandatory scrum (big, clean hits always deserve a fight or at least face-washes), a slightly inebriated Blackhawks fan ripped the helmet from Pardy's head and put it on - gross sweat and all.
This, of course, reminded all Jets fans of a similar incident from two seasons ago. On February 5th, 2012, Winnipeg took on Montreal at the Bell Centre. Late in the second, Habs defenceman Josh Gorges rode then-Jet Kyle Wellwood hard into the neutral zone boards, knocking the glass out like Bollig/Pardy. Though in this instance, instead of a fan putting on Wellwood's helmet, Wellwood polished off a fan's poutine.
The alternative punchline was that the Chicago guy is the only fan in NHL history who could take on Mike Milbury.
If this and this and this are any indication, the media in Winnipeg expects the 2013-14 incarnation of the Jets to be the team we saw dominate the Red Wings on Monday night. The Jets outshot, outscored, and outchanced the Wings in likely their best game of the season thus far.
Jets media suffers from the same sense of entitlement all Canadian hockey markets do. Journalists who cover NHL teams are usually fans of the franchise first, and become even more attached as they get to know the faces of the team close-up. This can lead to lack of perspective, as seen in the examples provided above.
The reality of the situation is the Jets have more or less been the exact same team for the past three years - same GM, same coach, same core players. You can't squeeze water from a stone, and you can't expect this Winnipeg team to win with any consistency with this line-up (especially in their new division). Any journalist claiming this version of the Jets can win a lot if they just "play better" isn't a very good hockey analyst. Or they're delusional.
Take your pick.
Bryan Little scores a beauty here, taking advantage of Kyle Quincy's blunder, turning on the jets (heh) and blowing past Quincey for the breakaway. Little forces it through Howard's five-hole and it's 1-0 Jets.

Changing from forward to defence and vie-versa from one game to the next is possible, but it takes a lot of thought and concentration.
Doing it from shift-to-shift is just a bad idea.

Really enjoyable read, Rhys.

Jokinen and a 4th rd pick for Matt Finn. The only way to resign Buff and Ladd will be to make cap room and FWs will be cheaper to UFA one day. Missing Antropov's steady offensive production. Ellerby was a good pickup. All upside. A fast kid is probably the natural complement to Buff. Morrissey. I'd play Buff on PP1, pairing 3, and also on FW line 4 (Jokinen Scheifele Buff) who I'd play only 6 mins.
November 08 2013, 05:29PM
That would be a radical change for Buff!
I think they can get a lot out of him with Enstrom, but they do need to address their forward quality. That includes doing something new with Jokinen.
November 09 2013, 07:12PM
I accedentally 'propped' myself, so I 'trashed' myself too.
Seems only fair.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 21, 2013
Wendy Waldsachs Isett, AUA
410-689-3789, firstname.lastname@example.com
LINTHICUM, MD, March 20, 2013—On Tuesday, May 21, the American Urological Association (AUA), a leading advocate for the specialty of urology, will deliver oral and written testimony to the House of Representatives' Veterans Affairs' Subcommittee on Health in support of H.R. 984, a bi-partisan bill that specifically addresses urotrauma, a growing concern among active military personnel and veterans. H.R. 984 was introduced earlier this year by Congressman Brett Guthrie (R-KY-2).
Urotrauma is a significant issue, particularly among active military populations. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs), when detonated, can cause severe trauma to the sexual organs and genitourinary system. These debilitating injuries can have devastating impacts – not only to urinary and sexual function, but on fertility. Since legislation on urotrauma was first introduced in 2009, the AUA has worked with lawmakers to increase awareness of these injuries. In 2012, the AUA led the formation of an Urotrauma Policy Roundtable, comprised of veterans and patient advocacy groups, to support legislation addressing urotrauma. Our coalition partners include the: American College of Surgeons, American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, American Association of Clinical Urologists , American Fertility Association, American Society of Andrology, Large Urology Group Practice Association, Kidney Cancer Association, Society for the Study of Male Reproduction, Society of Male Reproduction and Urology, Society for Women's Health Research, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), AMVETS, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Blinded Veterans Association, Men's Health Network, Zero- The Project to End Prostate Cancer, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, Blue Ribbon Advocacy Alliance, Johnson and Johnson, Astellas and Endo Pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Mark Edney, a urologist, veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, AUA member and the AUA's lead advocate on this issue, will deliver both written and oral statements on behalf of the AUA at the hearing.
H.R. 984 calls for the establishment of an interagency task force, led by the U.S. Department of Defense, to investigate and advise on the research and action needed to advance this increasingly essential field. The urotrauma legislation includes the following key provisions:
For more information about the urotrauma legislation or to speak with Dr. Edney, please contact AUA Communications at 410-689-3932 or email@example.com.
About the American Urological Association: Founded in 1902 and headquartered near Baltimore, Maryland, the American Urological Association is a leading advocate for the specialty of urology, and has more than 19,000 members throughout the world. The AUA is a premier urologic association, providing invaluable support to the urologic community as it pursues its mission of fostering the highest standards of urologic care through education, research and the formulation of health policy.

Very good
Awesome chapter. Fairy Tail is returning with a vengeance! Curious again to what lies ahead for FT vs RT, but my guess is that it has something to do with The Administration having made a bargain with RT, such as making them a legal guild, in order that they permit a debt to the Administration/Council?. This of course has something to do with the Celestial Gate/World the Administration was so lustful for a few chapters back. The Admin. probably looks the other way when RT is in the games, specifically when aimed at FT (the key's to success if you will), and even provide intel and cheat codes for upcoming rounds, as evident with Nullpudding having the matchups.
She may be the daughter of the strongest mage in FT but she certainly has a funny way of showing it lol. She might have potential but I wish she would use her own magic rather than some forbidden lost magic that belongs to the first master of the guild
A pie in the sky?
The calm before the storm.
Well they also aren't common or useable by everyone.... Im pretty sure we can assume is a ultimate magic only available to the guild masters of FT or whoever Mavis wants to have them
A pie in the sky?
---> Range - at least the range of a big town and it's outskirts, probably dependent on the user;
---> Power - takes down most enemies, although it's probably dependent on the user;
---> Cost - a pretty big amount of magic power (?);
---> Skill - at least S-rank mage;
---> Counter/Block-ability - Grimmoire Law - completely shuts it down, otherwise, unblock-able ?
---> Users(known): every FT master beside the one governing over the 7 missing years, Laxus;
---> Employed(in the series): at least a couple times.
Fairy Glitter - powerful one-hit-kill magic that gathers the energy from the Moon, Sun and Stars; currently can be used only once, until it is re-given by Mavis:
---> Range - from one to few people;
---> Power - over the scale, it is the final execution technique of FT, although it still depends on the user;
---> Cost - at least an S-rank magic potential is needed/pretty big amount of magic power;
---> Skill - at least a candidate for the S-rank test of FT (so probably A and above);
---> Counter/Block-ability - can be broken, for example by extreme level of Gravity power;
---> Users(known): Mavis, Cana;
---> Employed: twice.
Tenrou's Magic - divine protection, that saves from death and strengthens magic power of everyone with FT crest, it's effects are greatly reduced outside of Tenrou Island:
---> Range - unlimited (?), but limited effects from being afar from TI; affects those with FT crest;
---> Power - it's source is the prayers, hope and resolution of everyone brimming the crest;
---> Cost - the will itself;
---> Skill - none, it works regardless of skill in magic;
---> Counter/Block-ability - as long as Tenrou Tree is safe, it can't be blocked, otherwise, taking control of TI Magic, allows you to drain magic power from those with Ft Crest;
---> Users: all FT members;
---> Employed: constantly, beside one known point in time.
Was not the last of the three FT legendary magics Fairy Sphere (just for technical mention )?
Fairy Glitter wasn't broken, Blue Note avoided it by shoving it down the earth which then exploded.
Whats the source to that info?

The SUPER-SHORTY is based on a Remington 870 12-gauge shotgun which came from the factory with a pistol grip. Because of this, the SUPER-SHORTY is considered an AOW (Any Other Weapon) and can be transferred with a $5 stamp! The gun holds two 2-3/4" or 3" shells in the magazine, plus one in the chamber. The 16.5" overall length, 6.5" barrel and spring-locked foregrip, which pivots out of the way when not in use, make for a very compact package. As far as we know, this is the shortest 12-gauge pump shotgun available. All parts for the SUPER-SHORTY are made in-house on our own CNC machinery using materials ideally suited to the task. All welds are done by the TIG process, and the manganese phosphate finish is MIL-spec. The SUPER-SHORTY is currently being used by various law enforcement agencies and military units worldwide. If you like the idea of concealed carry with a 12-gauge, or like a lot of "bang" in a small package, or just want the most compact breaching weapon available, then this is the gun for you. You won't find a better made AOW pump shotgun than the SUPER-SHORTY!

Bullying�harassment� intimidation�disrespect� Such misbehavior isn't new to junior high schools in the 21st Century, but are ways of dealing with such problems today more effective than methods used in the past? Are these behaviors tolerated because they are expected of this age group? Are we making too much out of what might be considered kids behaving like kids?
These are some of the questions that junior high school administrators, counselors and teachers have been wrestling with for some time. They have, however, come to some conclusions about ways of dealing with many of these problems while continuing to search for more long-term solutions.
Schools throughout the Emery District have been working on initiating and/or updating bullying policies. Principal Garth Johnson at San Rafael Junior High said that his school has been reviewing several policies from other schools, synthesizing relative publications and looking to establish a policy that will serve the unique needs of that school. Of particular concern at San Rafael is not only dealing with the bully, but also dealing with those who encourage bullying. "We're looking at a policy that will involve the bystanders as well as the bully," Johnson said. "We believe that is the key to this problem."
At Canyon View Junior High School, a bullying/harassment policy has been in place for several years, and Principal Larry Davis says that it has been an effective way of dealing with offenders while also proving to be a deterrent to bullying. It involves a step-by-step process to be used depending on the severity of the action. However, he points out that the policy by itself is not enough. "We need to provide our students with on-going training and indoctrination if we want to maintain the control that we have now over bullying," he said. "It's a type of behavior that won't go away just because we have a policy against it."
More than ever before, that philosophy is playing out this year at both San Rafael and Canyon View junior high schools. At Canyon View the school year began with the seventh grade orientation meetings involving bullying, harassment and integrity. That personal-development training has also been expanded into several other powerful anti-bullying programs which have involved the entire student body.
Most recently, the students at San Rafael and Canyon View attended the Very Nice Person (VNP) program at their schools presented by Dan Potter of Los Angeles, Calif. Joining Potter in the program was Bracken Johnson who played the bully in the hit movie Napoleon Dynamite. The program included the bullying clips from the movie and Bracken's comments about his role as the bully.
Bracken, a native of Preston, Idaho, where the movie was filmed, said that while he played the school bully, he doesn't feel good about the way bullies treat others in real life. "It's not cool," he said. As an eighth grader, he recalled, he bullied a student in his school. "I felt really bad about it later," he said. "I called the kid and apologized. After that, we became friends and stayed friends clear through high school."
Potter presented to the students his own formula for becoming a Very Nice Person. It stems from an incident at his daughter's school in LA when a student was stabbed and no one even seemed to notice or care about it. At the urging of his wife Jeanine he took up the cause and began his personal crusade to persuade America's youth that "being nice is good." He offered several anecdotes where the actions of nice people paid off. "Being a nice person is advantageous," he said. "If you are not a nice person�change."
According to the presenter, following a 11-step process can lead to anyone becoming a VNP. At the top of the list is to put others first. Next, don't hate. "Always, award others," Potter said. "When you see someone doing something nice, it's your responsibility to tell them. Compliment others." He called on a student from the audience to come to the front of the group and give a compliment to one of her teachers. Canyon View seventh grader Taylor Miller told the audience how much she appreciates Coach Bill Wright. "He's the best volleyball coach ever," she said. "He makes me laugh." Potter then asked Coach Wright to come to the front where he asked him how Taylor's comments made him feel. "It about made me want to cry," he said.
The next step is to know your body language. "Watch the way you interact with people," Potter said. "Look people in the eye and smile a lot." Step six is to do for others� not do to others. "Look for opportunities to do all you can to help others," he said.
Step seven is to offer and receive hugs but only when and where they are appropriate. "Being a hugger isn't all bad," he said. It is also important to be a good listener. "Teachers love to talk," the presenter said. "That's what they do. Listen to them. Look at them, and again, smile a lot." Honesty is also an important part of becoming a VNP. "If you can't be honest with yourself, you'll be miserable," he said. He also pointed out that remembering the good in people will help eliminate long-term grudges and hatred.
Finally, Potter talked about the necessity of being sorry and saying you're sorry for inappropriate actions. He referred to Bracken's apology to the student he bullied in eighth grade and how that simple act turned into a long-term friendship. "Saying 'I'm sorry' can make you a VNP," he said.
The presenter joined Bracken in offering some strategies for students to use in dealing with being bullied or with acts of bullying that they encounter. One strategy is to walk away. "It does take courage to walk away," the presenter notes in his bullying workbook. "Once a person walks away, others will get the courage to do the same. Soon the bully realizes he does not have the approval or support of the masses and walks away himself."
Another strategy is to utilize body talk. "It takes a lot of courage to actually step up to the bully and verbally say something," the workbook notes. "But it doesn't take as much courage to give the bully a disapproving 'Body Talk' look. If the bully gets a strong disapproval by the looks of people in the crowd then he may decide to walk away."
The final strategy Potter suggests is to use the "not cool" approach. "The ultimate thing that one can do is to tell the bully 'not cool,'" he said. "It is best to draw as little attention as possible when saying this to him. This approach will give the bully an easy way to end it and not lose face."
The program was very interactive with the junior high students who were able to get involved on several levels. Their participation paid off at the end of the program when they had a chance to meet Bracken up close and get his autograph and picture. Potter also met with small groups of students prior to the general assembly, and he presented the school with a copy of his VNP workbook.
"Our faculty chose the seventh grade class because we wanted to saturate one group with as much positive reinforcement as we could and then develop the strategies over their three years in our school," Davis said. At San Rafael, the idea was to send school leaders so that they could return with the input and pass it on to peers and classmates. An extension of this program at San Rafael was the Breaking Down the Walls activity where efforts were made to diversity the students. "During lunch, each student was given a candy bar. Then the students with the same candy bars sat at the same table. By doing this, we were able to provide an opportunity for different groups of students to sit together, spend time together and learn more about each other. It worked really well, and we're looking forward to doing it again," Johnson said.
Also, all students at Canyon View and San Rafael were involved in an anti-violence program earlier in the school year which was presented by Amy Rasmussen of the Carbon School District. The presentation came during Domestic Violence Week and involved strategies to use in dealing with bullies. "The interesting thing that I observed," Mr. Johnson said, "was how uncomfortable some of the students felt as the subject of bullying was discussed. The presenter put a label on the inappropriate activity and clearly let the students know why it was inappropriate. Once those types of things are identified, they are a lot easier to curtail."
Each principal agrees that the focus early in the school year on issues related to bullying and harassment will pay off as the school year progresses. When efforts are sustained over time, the problems become minimal.

By JOSHUA DUNHAMGreen River
I am writing in response to a previous letter, "Racism in Green River". As an alumni of Green River High School I was offended and hurt by the implications that my former school could be accused of allowing racism to run rampant through the hallways. My problems with the letter are two fold.
First, the author of the letter is not even a resident of Green River. After a brief investigation I found that many of the statements in the letter were inaccurate and taken out of context. A resident of Green River would have had easy access to those who could have clarified what actually took place. Green River has more than 900 residents, none of whom felt the incident deserved the public attention that the author gave it. Instead, the accusations were raised by someone who lives outside of the county, who has only received questionable second hand information about the incident.
Secondly, I feel that the term "racism" is thrown around far too lightly in the letter. In a perfect world, being of one ethnicity or another would not be a disadvantage or an advantage. A person's "race" would not even be considered. However, when the word "racist" is used ethnicity automatically becomes a factor. The object of the educational system is to equip a younger generation with the knowledge and strength of character needed to succeed in life. I feel it is unfair to this upcoming generation to cripple them with the excuse of racism. To teach them that they can blame all their setbacks and disappointments in life on other's racial prejudice hurts them rather that helps them. To do so would instill apathy in a generation that desperately needs ambition.
In closing I would beg all readers, for the sake of an upcoming generation and the future of our country, to think twice before tossing the bombshell of "racism" into any event where different ethnicities may be involved.

India's Dussehra Festival: The Battle of Good vs Evil
Take a brave group of gods and heroes and a beautiful virtuous queen whose legendary stories every Hindu knows by heart. Add a really, seriously nasty evil demon king and then throw in a spectacular open-air burning of the huge effigy of said evil demon king and ten days of celebrations, prayers, feasting and traditional plays, and you have (in a very rushed and inadequate nutshell) the Hindu festival of Dussehra.
Every year in October, as the cooler winter climate starts to dilute the harsh Indian summer, the season of Dussehra begins, signaling a stretch of pleasant weather and noisy, public festivities.
The festival itself is actually preceded by nine days of prayers and celebrations, and is the best time to experience the visceral punch of a Ramlila, a performance of the story of Ram and Sita and their conflict with the demon king Ravan.
