1. Why did I receive a compliance letter and checklist?The California Department of Public Health and the Department of Justice are jointly enforcing compliance with the CA Safe Cosmetics Act ("the Act"). As part of this process, companies are being asked to declare their status in terms of compliance with the Act (e.g., exempt, required to report and done reporting, required to report but not yet done reporting). The compliance letter and checklist you received provide your company with this opportunity.
2. How did you get my name and address?Your name and contact information was obtained through a general marketing database query aimed at identifying manufacturers, distributors, and/or packers of cosmetic products.
3. I don't sell cosmetics in California. What should I do with the compliance checklist?If you do not sell any cosmetics products in California you are not subject to the CA Safe Cosmetics Act. Nevertheless, further action on your part is needed at this time.
Please complete the checklist provided in the compliance mailing indicating that you are exempt from any reporting requirements because you do not sell cosmetics in California. Return the completed, signed, and dated checklist to us at the address provided at the bottom of the form by May 28, 2010. We will note your response in our database and keep your declaration on record.
4. How can I get taken off your list? In order to be taken off our list for continued compliance activities you must return the completed compliance checklist, indicating your justification for being exempt from the California Safe Cosmetics Act.

5. Where can I get a copy of the compliance letter and checklist?We are happy to provide you with another copy of the compliance mailing. You can email your request to firstname.lastname@example.com or download a copy of the Cosmetics Compliance Mailing (PDF)here.

Bills top 20 talents: No. 16 - Brandon Spikes
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 9 2014 7:58AM
Defense reigns supreme on the countdown of the top 20 talents on the Buffalo Bills roster, and that's where the next player on the list takes us once again. The next member of the list has never played a down for the Bills, but has the type of game that makes the team believe he can make an immediate impact in an area that they've struggled for several seasons.
The criteria for the top 20 is a blend of overall raw skill level, actual on-field performance and a projection as to what they might do in the future based on studying the players over the past couple of years. So who is number 16? A former villain to Bills fans and to a certain bearded quarterback that once started in Buffalo:
LB Brandon Spikes
: 26 (9/3/87)
: 6'2"
: 255
Why he's here:
- A rather peculiar end to his tenure with the New England Patriots after four seasons landed Spikes as an unrestricted free agent and Buffalo pounced on the middle linebacker for their 4-3 defensive scheme. Spikes is not the jack of all trades type, but he is a master at one part of his game. On run downs, the linebacker will be among the best weapons the Bills can arm themselves with to help stop a problem that has plagued them since Chan Gailey took over as the head coach in 2010. Although limited as an athlete in pass coverage, Spikes' downhill, thumping style makes him an immediate upgrade to what they were working with last season in Arthur Moats on base sets to help stop opponents from getting big rushing gains.
2014 outlook:
- Spikes signed only a one-year contract with the team, and it screams as a "prove it" deal after the drama that unfolded in New England at the end of the 2013 season. The linebacker will likely be fully motivated to prove himself playing only on a one-year pact, and can provide the stability against the run when he's in there. However, the Bills should not attempt to use him too much even though Kiko Alonso is likely lost for the season. Spikes is very good against the run, but his game is not as a normal three-down linebacker. The expectation is that he'll be on the sidelines on those obvious passing downs.

Skip to comments.Murtha assesses Army as 'broken' [TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY ALERT]
Posted on 12/02/2005 6:58:13 AM PST by conservativecornerEdited on 12/02/2005 7:02:22 AM PST by Lead Moderator. [history]
Rep. John P. Murtha is continuing his assault on the Bush administration's Iraq war policy, asserting this week that the U.S. Army is "broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth."
The Pentagon and a senior Republican senator sharply disagreed with his assessment.
(Excerpt) Read more at washtimes.com ...
Mr. Murtha is now a complete and total fool.
I used to admire this guy for his past service to the nation when he was in uniform.
Now I think it would be wise for Mr. Murtha to keep his mouth closed...because everytime he opens it these days he hurts the United States and damages the morale of the troops. He should be ashamed.
Betcha he isn't.
Again, Murtha is not only a traiot but
And some lickspittle will soon join the thread to say: "Say what you like about Murtha, but you cannot call him a coward! You can't! He was in Vietnam!"
So was John Kerry.
Murtha's words and actions are the actions of a coward and anything worthwhile he may have done in the past has been completely erased by his cowardice in the present.
He is a sickening, yellow-bellied traitor and any argument made in his defense is specious.
asserting this week that the U.S. Army is "broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth."
Our brave Soldiers just dug up 4,000 mortar rounds and 11 500 lb bombs!!
Murtha is an Old Senile war dog. with NO Military expertise.
Just a grunt. and a stupid Liberal one at that.
First they made me loose respect for a poor mother that lost her son, and now they are doing the same for a man who served his country well in the past.
Status: I pity the fool.
Like Cindy Sheehan, another new acolyte of the MoveOn, ANSWER crowd is overreaching.
Ollie North (I think it was) was on Tony Snow radio program this morning.
He said the reason Murtha is saying all this is because Murtha may be coming under Congressional investigation on some other issue(s). Murtha is wanting to make it appear that that investigation is retaliation for Murtha's opinion on the war.
If true, Murtha has a personal agenda in dissing the military and the war and the Administration.
Does he know there are Marines there too? It sounds like Murtha is listening to the same old retired Army generals who don't like the transformation reforms put in place by Rumsfield.
Nothing like a little aid and comfort for our enemies. Murtha is a disgrace.
He needs an opponent who ius dedicated to his retirement. He's the one who is a broken down old horse.
Yes, John Kerry was a soldier and served in Vietnam just like Murtha.
And look at Kerry, what a stupid disembling whiner He is!!!
Just because you join the military, it is no cure for "Stuck on Stupid" Democrats like Murtha and Kerry.
and Have You noticed that bug-eyed Rat Pelosi? what a gutter-Slug! She started this little Murtha bitch-fest, and when it blew up in Her face She didn't even have the Guts to stick around, She ran and Hid like a cockaroach!!!
Pelosi has me convinced that the Anti-Christ is a woman.
He looks like he has Alzheimer's to me. People like that go further than misrepresenting their district. At the point he is now, he is a problem for the whole nation. I think he needs to be censured. Of course he won't be, after all he is a patriot and a great man. Everybody in the house wants to have sex with him (see Coulter's column)
that's funny. "Pelosi has me convinced that the Anti-Christ is a woman." Half right, I suppose.
How about treasonous old fool? This man has spent nearly twenty years in Washington as a congress critter ... he's been corrupted by the system. As far as his military background, speaking as a former Marine, this guy is a John Kerry type of combatant ... a total fraud.
Edd Hendee, a local radio guy here in Houston said it well -- "God bless him for what he did in the past, may the house of hell fall on him for what he's doing now."
I feel sorry for Casey's father, I do NOT feel sorry for Mother "F'er" Sheehan.
If a true patriot like Duke Cunningham had to be shamed, I want to see a damrat shamed in return. There has to be a reaction for every action.
Well put--but I'm curious: What rule do you follow for CaPiTAlizAtIOn?
(Know I shouldn't, but can't help but wonder if he's getting "something" from the little old broad from California!)
Sounds like another traitorous former Marine, Ritter-The-Child-Molester, and general Saddam kiss-ass.
Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine... Bill Clinton was a US president. Neither achievements negate the fact that they were/are human garbage.
No, no, no, relax. She's just an annoying cockaroach. I was thinking the other day that I'd like to see her out of that position, but then I realized she is so hopelessly out of her league, so completely ineffectual, we'd never get another weak sister like her. I know her appearance and sound is like fingernails on a blackboard, but know that no one in their right mind would ever take a shrieking, hysterical harpy like that seriously. I doubt people in SF even take her seriously. She's almost as much of a gift as Howard "The Scream" Dean.
They have LOST consistently since 1994, so why not CUT & RUN? Put your money where your mouth is...STEP DOWN NOW, DUMOCRATS!
Anybody that claims to be a PH recipient but won't release the details when asked has two strikes against them in my book. I don't believe a word of it.
Where were the ("you cant' criticize war veterans") hypocrite MSM crowd when they let the comlibs demonetize Oliver North?
Touche' BUMP!!
Excellent point that bears repeating.
I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
Oh, wait I forgot, the RATs don't turst in God and the U.S.
I think they did this before the handover of power too, trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They may know that this is their last chance. The election may seal the compact we've made with the Iraqi people.
Then again another trope of the left is to demand something we're going to do anyway in hopes of claiming credit for it. It will never work. Then next fall none of this will have happened.
Murtha is just old and senile...and a puppet. He doesn't have enough of his mental capacity left to be a traitor. He lacks the competence for overt sedition.
I think Ritter was getting paid off by Soros, wouldn't be surprised if Mister Murtha was getting a few checks in the mail as well.
Murtha is just trying to deflect the pork scandal from looking at him and his lobbyist brother too closely.
Well, the way I look at it is that Murtha is the gift that keeps on giving...to the GOP, that is.
His idiotic statements just show the vast contrast between the GOP and the Dems.
Stop holding back, wideawake! Hard not to agree with you, though.
Are Navy was fairly broken in 1941 on Dec 8th. This was not a valid reason for a Senator to call for withdrawl of our forces from the pacific theater and to cede Hawaii to the new Enemy. The E word is not used enough in the Iraq/Al Qaeda/Afghanistan contect, IMHO.
I'm always amazed how these mopes fall in love with the camera. Sheehan and now Murtha are milking the love that the dems throw at them through the media. It's like electronic heroin to them.
Don't let Michael Newdow know they have to promise to trust in God to get in the military.
Hillary must have found some pictures of Murtha fellating a young boy.
A brief note in yesterday's National Review Online:
"REP. MURTHA'S ARMY DIS [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
An e-mail from Fort Hood:
As a Captain in the Army who served in Iraq for the entire 365 days of 2004 in Iraq, I can assure you that the Army is not broken, worn out, or living hand to mouth. I would like to elaborate and respond to Congressman Murtha's comments but I doubt I could contain the 4 letter words that would flow from my fingers onto this computer. In a nutshell, these comments make me very very angry. Feel free to relay my frustration on the Corner. "
Murtha has jumped the shark.
This is beyond the pale (and the pail.)
Pelosi must've promised him a committee chair if they pull this off. If they do pull this off, then the American public deserves the horrors to come.
Your right, Murtha is a senile dog. We had a guy named McGovern who had been a WWII bomber pilot (40 Missions) and ran for president as a commie loving dove. I am always amazed that real fighters can become such viginas like he and Kennedy and others. I think that the love of power and lucre has a lot to do with it.
It is good that they have Zarqawi to use to personalize the enemy in Iraq.
Here's a link to the Johnstown Chamber of Commerce to share your thoughts on their U.S. House Representative.
Now you went and did it. The ACLU will be in court to have this removed from the Code.
One of the outstanding generals and genuine hero of the Revolutionary war was Benedict Arnold up until he put personal intrests ahead of his country.

Geoff Regan Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36(8), I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to two petitions.
Budget Implementation Act, 2001
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
John McCallum for the Minister of Finance
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-49, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in parliament on December 10, 2001.

(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
Criminal Code
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
John Cannis Scarborough Centre, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-429, an act to amend the Criminal Code (destruction of national flag).
Mr. Speaker, what I am asking, through this initiative to amend the criminal code after section 56, is that everyone who, without lawful cause, wilfully damages or destroys in any manner, burns, defaces, defiles, mutilates, tramples upon or otherwise desecrates the national flag would be guilty of an offence and liable on summary convictions.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise to present a petition, not only from citizens of the Peterborough area but from citizens of Toronto, Brampton and Bobcaygeon, a wide region around Peterborough.
The petitioners point out that Canada supports the Kyoto protocol. They point out that one way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to develop sustainable public transportation. They point out that a rail service between Peterborough and Toronto would help businesses and tourism in Peterborough and, at the same time, would help the environment.
The petition has support in more than 10 federal ridings.
The petitioners call upon parliament to authorize the renewal of VIA Rail service between Peterborough and Toronto, Ontario.
Routine Proceedings
10:05 a.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present another petition from the citizens of the Peterborough area concerning the Institute of Nutrition, Metabolism and Diabetes, which is one of the institutes of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
The petitioners know that this institute does fine work. It supports research in relation to diet, digestion, excretion, metabolism and things of that type. However these citizens are interested in kidney research and believe the work of this institute would be enhanced if the word kidney were included in its public title.
The petitioners call upon parliament to encourage the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to explicitly include kidney research as one of the institutes in its system, to be named the institute of kidney and urinary tract diseases.

Government Orders
February 5th, 2002 / 10:10 a.m.
Canadian Alliance
Randy White Langley—Abbotsford, BC
That, since the government has failed to give effect to the motion adopted by this House on March 13, 2001, calling for the establishment of a sex offender registry by January 30, 2002, the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights be instructed to prepare and bring in a bill reflecting the spirit and intent of that motion;
That the Committee shall make its report to the House no later than June 1, 2002;
That in its report, the Committee shall recommend the principles, scope and general provisions of the said bill, and may include recommendations regarding legislative wording;
That the tabling of a report pursuant to this Order shall be an Order to bring in a bill based thereon; and
That when a Minister of the Crown, in proposing a motion for first reading of a bill, states that the bill is in response to the recommendations contained in a report pursuant to this Order, the second reading and subsequent stages of the bill shall be considered under Government Orders; or
That when a Private Member, in proposing a motion for first reading of a bill, states that the bill is in response to the recommendations contained in a report pursuant to this Order, the second reading and subsequent stages of the bill shall be considered under Private Members' Business and the bill shall be placed immediately in the order of precedence for Private Members' Business as a votable item.
Mr. Speaker, it is extremely disappointing for me to have to stand up in the House today and talk once again about a national sex offender registry. I thought the government had agreed to dispense with this last March but, alas, that was not the case.
Several serious issues came out of the national sex offender registry. First, the government made a commitment to establish a national sex offender registry, a commitment made to all Canadians and members in the House which it totally ignored.
The motion, which was introduced on March 13 last year, basically stated that by January 30, 2002, which was last week, it would have the thing built. Last week, on January 30, the government stood up and said that there was no need for it. There is a big need for it and we will show that today.
Mr. Speaker, I am splitting my time with my colleague.
I want to introduce two speeches and two issues today. One is a speech on behalf of the official opposition and the other is a speech that will likely be made by the solicitor general. I would like all folks watching and listening to the debate today to listen very closely to the solicitor general's speech. I will read the speech and I will tell the House where he got it from, which is just the old rhetoric.
The other issue that is important here, and I think it is equally important to other parties, is the idea in the House of Commons that a government looks at a motion and then stands up and votes for the motion with absolutely no intention of implementing it. We only have to look at private members' business, supply day motions, which we are talking about today, or any other issue that any other opposition party introduces here. The government says that it will do it. It then goes out and uses its press corps to get all the great press that is permitted it, only for us to see it die in committee, to be completely ignored or the House prorogued and everything dropped. That is the way this government runs.
Let us see what the effect of that little issue is with the national sex offender registry.
The national sex offender registry is so important that the provinces, frustrated with the federal government, are now implementing their own. Ontario has done that. The problem with a province implementing a provincial sex offender registry is that offenders who leave the province of Ontario to go to any other province know they have to report their details. There are no national guidelines or anything like that.
What is required is a software system. Ontario has already offered to give it to the federal government. Therefore that should not be a problem. The government will say that CPIC, the Canadian Police Information Centre, will look after that, but that is not the case. I will show the House that in a few minutes.
Once we have the software, we would need legislation. It does not need to be tough legislation. It could be legislation very similar to that which Ontario has. All it would do is enable the provinces to tell offenders that they shall report any changes to their information, that is, address, change of name, change of phone number and so on, and that if they do not do that they will be fined.
Let us look at what Ontario does. The offenders' names--legal, alias, nicknames, known names, maiden--are collected along with addresses, phone numbers, photographs and conviction information.
There are built in triggers to advise police services when an offender is non-compliant and living in their jurisdiction or is compliant and in their jurisdiction. Penalties for non-compliance are, for a first offence, a fine of not more than $25,000 and imprisonment of not more than one year or both, and for subsequent offences a fine of not more $25,000 and imprisonment of a term of not more than two years less a day. Ontario says basically that if one does not comply, if one does not make the changes to the registry, then there is a penalty.
This government will not even do that. It did not even have the decency to try to put legislation into the House of Commons to comply with that. Therefore our motion today states that if the government cannot do it and agrees that we need a national sex offender registry, then it should send it all off to a committee and get the committee to do it, get someone to do it. The government should not stand here in the House of Commons, make a commitment and then completely ignore it.
I can understand completely why people are so frustrated with government. It makes commitments, gets all the bragging rights and then it completely ignores the commitments after they are made, time and time again.
Let me tell the House what the solicitor general will say. He will say that Canada's CPIC system, the police information system, is Canada's national sex offender registry. That is totally incorrect. Every province in the country is saying that is not accurate. Every police organization we have found has said it is not accurate. The Canadian police chiefs, the Canadian Police Association and every victims' rights group in the country is saying that CPIC is not a national sex offender registry. How many times do people have to say this? He will say the government is open to improvements. Perhaps it is, but what are they? It had already committed to improvements and did not do a damn thing.
The solicitor general will say that a truly national system can exist only if there is national consensus. There is national consensus. The whole nation is saying that we need a national sex offender registry. The only place where the commitment to a national consensus is not available is here in the House of Commons with the Liberal government. We should think about that when he says that.
He will say that the government has offered to accept current addresses for known sex offenders to be placed in the CPIC database. I say congratulations, that is a darn good idea. The problem is that the moment a person moves from the address that is in the CPIC system no one knows about it. That is why we need to have legislation that says an offender has to register or otherwise there would be a fine.
He will say that the government saw fit to put $115 million into the CPIC system. Yes, it did, and it has been fighting ever since. We talked to the CPIC people, these people who are trying to work up the police information system. They cannot even get consensus on what to do, not only on when to do it, and even the people in charge of CPIC admit that it is not a national sex offender registry.
I can only say that I thought integrity was everything in the House of Commons. I thought that when the House of Commons voted unanimously to put in a sex offender registry the government would at least make a try. It did not develop software. It did not implement enabling legislation. It did not live up to its commitment, much like many other commitments that this government said it would live up to. I hope those people who are watching give a real good listen to these people on the other side, because most of it is rhetoric. There will be no sex offender registry unless this government gets off its duff and does something logical and, for a change, with integrity.
Government Orders
10:20 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Peter MacKay Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS
Mr. Speaker, I commend my colleague from Langley--Abbotsford for the work he has done on this file. I wonder if he has turned his mind to the possibility of utilizing existing infrastructure in the way of computers and a registry system. He has alluded to the CPIC system, a national registry with respect to criminal records and warrants. Of course any system, as the hon. member will be quick to acknowledge, is only as good as the information that is in the particular system.
I have a question for the hon. member. I do not want to confuse the issue or mix messages here, but has the hon. member or anyone in his employ, in the research he has had available to him, ever looked at the possibility of using the infrastructure of the disastrous national firearms registry that exists, with the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been pumped into the system, and which will not work because people will not voluntarily register, especially Hell's Angels? Has he looked at the possibility of using that computer data system, that technology, that national registry, to apply to, at least in some way, registering sex offenders? Is it something that might be a practical use, at least, of the resources, the hundreds of millions of taxpayers' dollars that have been pumped into this useless registry system that was ill-fated from its very beginning? The government told people that it would cost $84 million and it is now in the range of $500 million or $600 million and counting. Is it possible to apply that infrastructure to a more practical and more realistic purpose that would allow police, parole officers and Canadians generally to have this national sex offender registry envisaged by the hon. member?

2012 Mechanistic Effect Models for Ecological Risk Assessment of Chemicals Annual Report
2015 Mechanistic Effect Models for Ecological Risk Assessment of Chemicals Activity Report
The general aim of the Mechanistic Effect Models for Ecological Risk Assessment of Chemicals (MeMoRisk) Interest Group is to explore and evaluate the benefit of mechanistic effect modeling for the risk assessment of chemicals in Europe. This will be done by establishing a forum for better communication and cooperation of scientists in academia, business and government working on or with mechanistic modelling to analyse and predict effects of chemicals on organisms, populations and communities.
The group will deal with models to analyse and predict effects of chemicals on organisms, populations, communities and ecosystems in aquatic, soil and terrestrial environments. The term "ecological modeling" is avoided here, because it is often used for population, community, food web and ecosystem models, but the group will also consider models to describe and predict effects on the level of the single organism, e.g., toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic models (TK/TD), dynamic energy budget models (DEB), biotic ligand models (BLM).
Empirical statistical models (e.g., dose-response functions, species sensitivity distributions, multivariate models of community structure) and QSARs will not be the focus of the group.
Mechanistic effect models have been applied to ecotoxicological questions for over 25 years now. However, their use in regulatory risk assessment has been very limited over the years. Their importance seems to be increasing as has been stated especially in the risk assessment of pesticides under the European Directive 91/414: modelling was mentioned as a valuable higher tier tool in the SETAC workshops AMPERE on mesocosm tests (2007) and AMRAP on macrophyte testing (2008). The ELINK workshop (2007) focused on the problem of extrapolation from usually simple exposure patterns in ecotoxicological tests to the complex exposure scenarios predicted by the exposure models used now. In the ELINK working group on tools for extrapolation, different types of models are discussed for the potential use to solve this problem. Finally, the LEMTOX workshop (2007) was organised especially to bring together international experts from Europe, Japan and North America to discuss pros and cons of ecological (here usually population) models for pesticide risk assessment.
Recent reviews have investigated the state of the art and pointed out the need for standardisation of model approaches. This requires concerted actions with all stakeholders involved.
Nevertheless, the use of such models is not restricted to pesticides and the following main application areas are generally seen in the framework of the European regulation of chemicals (plant protection products, biozides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals):
The MeMoRisk Interest Group is open to any interested scientists and students. SETAC membership is not required, but may facilitate access to SETAC scientific activities (e.g., short-courses, symposia) at preferential rates. The organisation of the work is done by a steering committee (SC) of up to 12 people from academia, industry and regulation.
If you are interested, click the "Join Group" button near the top of this page to become a member. Please note, you must be signed in to join this group.
The main task of this steering committee is to bring the interest group into life and to organise its activities.

Memorial Day was observed in Emery County with a number of programs at local cemeteries. The Huntington American Legion started their morning of observations in Elmo. Commander Ray Quinn organized the program and welcomed everyone to the cemetery. "We are here to honor those who gave all so we could be here today. It is a sacred day. Chaplain Owen Olsen offered the prayer. Commander Quinn read the dedication to the fallen comrades. Jennie Olson read the poem on Flanders Field.
Blake Jones accompanied by Eldon Holmes recited the Ragged Old Flag. Jones said, "I am grateful for the service of the Veterans. I am thrilled to recite the Ragged Old Flag accompanied by my good friend Eldon Holmes. It is great to honor this country and the flag that flies over it. We honor those Veterans who have gone before and those who are still in conflict and fighting."
The color guard presented the colors and a 21 gun salute echoed throughout the cemetery. This ceremony was presented in Cleveland next followed by Lawrence and then concluding in Huntington. In Huntington, essays were read by local youth council members to honor Veterans reflecting on the fact that freedom isn't free.
Mayor Hilary Gordon thanked those involved with getting the cemetery ready for Memorial Day. "The cemetery looks good and the Memorial Park. Our Veterans fought for our freedoms. We need to be mindful of everyone and for those who don't have all that we do. This is a day to pause and reflect upon those who have gone before."
Commander Quinn said, Memorial Day observances are held to deepen the reverence for those who have gone before.
The Ferron American Legion Unit hosted ceremonies in Molen, Ferron and concluded in Castle Dale.
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, war-time veterans organization, devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is a not-for-profit community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members, men and women, in nearly 15,000 American Legion posts worldwide.

As the Emery County Aquatics Center has been open a year, I would just like to extend an incredibly huge thank you to everyone who made this wonderful facility a reality. Please know that your persistence and efforts were worth it and are greatly appreciated by all of us who have the opportunity to swim there.
The beautiful design of the building (i.e. all the big windows) makes it such an enjoyable place to be. Having the kitchen area available for parties, lap swim times and aquasize classes are additional assets.
A special thanks to Annette and the others who open the pool at 5 a.m. The Aquatics Center is definitely a positive addition to our community.
Thanks also to Marilyn Collard, Andrea Johansen, and Tammy Oliverson for doing such an incredible job with the high school swim team. Our children are learning so much and I just wanted to express my appreciation for the time, dedication and knowledge these women so unselfishly share with them.
It has been a great experience to attend the home swim meets. Marilyn, Andrea and Tammy have them so well organized and, with the help of their incredible staff, execute them with such professionalism.
Off the subject of swimming but another thank you I would like to extend is to all Emery County motorists who are so considerate of bikers/runners/walkers out on the road. We really appreciate you slowing down and going out and around us when you see us.
We certainly are lucky to live in such a wonderful community. I would have to say that Emery County is a great place to live, work and exercise.

Whitnall girls volleyball
A young Falcons squad developed quickly in claiming the Silver Bracket championship at the season-opening Prairie School Tournament on Saturday.
Whitnall has just two seniors on the roster in Emily Kuether and Ashley Markowiak and four freshmen in Ana Haning, Lexi Ratkowski, Kendall Stribling and Olivia Szalacinski.
"Having four freshmen and two sophomores, along with three first-time varsity juniors, will lead to a good case of the jitters," head coach Todd Smith said.
The Falcons dropped their first match to Racine Case, 25-17, 27-26, after leading 23-19 and 24-22 in the second game.
They went on to defeat The Prairie School, SWCHA, Martin Luther and Racine Park to take the Silver crown.
"The entire day was a great learning experience," Smith said. "This was a great lift for a young team. This is a good, talented group, and it will be fun to watch them grow."

A veteran squad could help head coach Ron Kurtz experience success in his 40th season of coaching cross country.
Kurtz, who is in his 37th year at Hale, has six returning lettermen. They are senior co-captain Milan Stojanovic, the team's most valuable junior last season; senior co-captains Robert Effinger and Sam Gagliano; junior Tony Lozano, the most valuable sophomore last season; sophomore Dan Nelson, the most valuable freshman last season; and junior Tim Ebben.
The Huskies went 99-30 last season and captured the West Allis city championship for the fourth straight season.
They opened on Saturday at the West Bend Invitational, taking fifth with a combined time of 1 hour, 27 minutes and 38 seconds.
Stojanovic led the way with 17:02, followed by Effinger at 17:19, Nelson 17:21, Gagliano 17:25, Lozano 18:31, Ebben 18:36 and Bailey Keune 19:00.
The Huskies, rated 12th in Division 1, host an invitational Aug. 31 at Greenfield Park.
Whitnall boys soccer
A total of four players scored as the Falcons started their season with a 4-0 victory over Waukesha South on Aug. 23.
Foreign exchange student Guillem Corbera opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a 25-yard blast off a pass from senior Tyler Quinn. Junior Petar Miskov converted a penalty kick to make it 2-0.
Early in the second half, Quinn received a pass from junior Bryan Domitrz for a goal and senior Jamie Wunrow connected on another penalty kick to close the scoring.
The Falcons then lost two games at Cudahy on Saturday, 1-0 to Oak Creek and 3-2 to Wisconsin Lutheran.
Head coach Stevan Miskov said junior Chris Kelnhofer, senior Zach Barnhart, senior Kyler Chelminiak and senior Brent Sluka will form a strong defense, while Petar Miskov, Wunrow, Domitrz and freshman Joe Schauer make up a solid midfield.
Junior Max Schwarz will be the goalkeeper.
Hale boys soccer
The Huskies continued their strong start to the season at 4-1-1 by playing Brookfield Central tough in a 3-1 loss on Aug. 21, tying Pius XI, 3-3, on Aug. 22 and blanking Greendale, 1-0, on Friday.
Alex Sykes tallied the only goal in the triumph over Greendale, which was Hale's fourth victory. It was Sykes' fourth goal of the young season.
Scoring against Pius were Josh Burke, his fourth of the season; Bobby Saskowski, his third of the campaign; and Sykes.
Alex Kaul put in the only goal against powerful Brookfield Central, his first of the season.
Whitnall girls cross country
The Falcons finished seventh in the Shorewood Early Season Invitational on Aug. 23 at Kern Park, scoring 154 points.
Junior Jasmine Van Tine led them by taking seventh place in 17 minutes, 26 seconds. She was followed by junior Kim Hurst in 29th (18:27), junior Alyssa Woo 30th (18:30), freshman Lauren Lent 42nd (18:47), sophomore Kina Cross 46th (18:54), sophomore Kristy Crivello 57th (19:25) and senior Carly Cardenas 73rd (22:07).
"We're looking forward to a successful and injury-free season," head coach Mike Thompson said, "as we were plagued by numerous injuries last year. Our goal is to stay healthy and, as always, compete for a conference title."
Whitnall boys cross country
Alex Richardson claimed third place in 17 minutes, 13 seconds as the Falcons came in seventh with 195 points in the Shorewood Early Bird Invitational on Aug. 23 at Kern Park.
Richardson was followed by Derrick Yimsut in 36th (19:55), Seth Nowak 41st (20:13), Jacob Wick 57th (21:30), Austin Hurst 58th (21:36), Blake Stencil 59th (21:40) and Shane Murphy 62nd (21:44).
Hale girls cross country
The Huskies claimed 11th of 18 teams at the West Bend Invitational on Saturday, posting a combined time of 1 minute, 29.52 seconds.
Junior Ellie Probst had the lowest time at 16 minutes, 49 seconds, followed by sophomore April Koshen in 18:07, freshman Madison Mihaljevic 18:15, senior Alyssa Drajkowski 18:16 and senior Elizabeth Elliott 18:22.
Everyone finished in the top 25 in their respective age groups, and Probst and Mihaljevic both received medals.
Also running were freshman Caroline Daniels (19:00) and senior Emily Zelten (19:13).
"We have more depth this season," head coach Terry Labinski said. "We have 10 girls working for a varsity spot."
Central girls volleyball
The Bulldogs posted a 4-4 record in their own nine-team round-robin tournament on Saturday, going 8-9 in games.
Junior Rachel Sura and freshman Mary Martens led Central in hitting, while senior Melissa Smith led in setting. Martens and Smith also paced the Bulldogs in serving.
Junior Tammy Murazewski, junior Angela Reyes and sophomore Emma Somppi led the way in blocking, while senior Emily Villafuentes and junior Amber Wegner topped the team in digs.
"We have only two returning seniors in Melissa and Emily," head coach Bob Staskunas said. "The other two seniors (Jourdan Davis and Nikki Waite) are first-year varsity players. Emily is the anchor of our passing and defense and Melissa is the setter, with experience from starting last year."
Hale girls volleyball
First-year coach Leng Sayaovong is in the process of determining the best lineup for his team.
"Since this is my first year at Hale," Sayaovong said, "I'm still trying to figure out who can play best next to each other. I'm not familiar with how these players play or what position they played last year."
The Huskies opened with a quadrangular on Aug. 22 at home, finishing 1-2. They lost to Waukesha West, 25-20, 25-23, and to New Berlin Eisenhower, 25-19, 25-23, and beat Sussex Hamilton, 22-25, 25-17, 15-6.
In the victory over Hamilton, sophomore Jamie Supple totaled seven kills, two blocks and nine digs; senior Marlee Freitag six kills; senior Rachel Milani four blocks; senior Caitlin Kantowski 15 assists; and sophomore Natalie Carr six digs.
"The setter position is going to be a key factor," Sayaovong said. "Kantowski is doing a great job so far trying to learn the position. Supple is a strong all-around player, Milani can be a big factor in the middle and Freitag can play multiple positions."
Central girls cross country
The Bulldogs will be led in the 2012 season by junior Alex Jonas and sophomores Katie Wardinski and Becky Schwindt, head coach Mark Klobukowski said.
"All our young runners are looking forward to helping the team with individual success and improvements throughout the season," Klobukowski said.
Schwindt had the best performance in Central's opening meet, Saturday's Kenosha Tremper Invitational, as she ran 19 minutes, 37 seconds. Team scores were not kept at the meet.
Greenfield cross country
The Hustlin' Hawk boys finished seventh with 174 points and the girls 11th with 246 points in the Kettle Moraine Lutheran Invitational on Aug. 23.
West Allis girls swimming
The Wave is anticipating a good season under new head coach Kristin Lehman.
"I am looking for the girls to have improved times from last year and to really work together as a team so they can help each other achieve their goals," Lehman said.
Key performers for the varsity include Haley Marie Asher, Paulina Fortis, Sydney Jewel, Tara Kelley, Brianna Kulas, Larissa Mickelson, Meghan Pfeiffer, Cortney Wery and Jess Drews.
Central boys soccer
Michael Manlick tallied two goals and Matt Medcalf made six saves for the Bulldogs in a 5-2 loss to Cudahy/St. Francis on Aug. 20.

West Allis girls tennis
Marissa Rechlicz won at third singles to provide her team with its only victory in a 6-1 dual loss to Milwaukee King on Aug. 22.
Rechlicz improved to 7-2 on the season.
West Allis also dropped a 7-0 dual to New Berlin West on Aug. 21.

Ugh, Mondays. They're totally the worst right? It's all like "be productive" and "set an alarm" and "stop Facebook stalking your ex's new girlfriend's Cinco De Mayo photo album even though we call agree she looks horrible in a sombrero."
That's why I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to the Movie Critic Kid meme. It combines the horribleness of predictable movie rewiews and the magic of an adorable kid photo.
Yesterday Reddit user EvilXeslana uploaded this photo of his (or her…we don't know) son waiting for the Barney Live show. Within seconds it became clear that this child's photo was asking for a meme. And so thanks to the power of Reddit, Movie Critic Kid was conceived, born and distributed within hours. Seriously, this all happened 11 hours ago. It took 16,000 times longer for Jessica Simpson to birth her child.
So with no further ado, meet the Movie Critic Kid. He's the underage version of the ridiculous photogenic guy. So prepare to love him just as much.

Benton County Jail inmate dies at Kadlec
A Benton County Jail inmate who was sent to a Richland hospital after being tased last week has died.
29 year-old Kevin Culp died yesterday at Kadlec Regional Medical Center.
The Benton County Sheriff says on Monday, December 17th, Culp had an unknown medical episode at the jail.
When two nurses and a corrections officer responded to help, Culp became combative.
An officer tased Culp during the confrontation.
Once Culp was restrained, he was taken to an isolation cell, where he became unresponsive.
The circumstances surrounding the death are being investigated by the Special Investigative Unit comprised of officers and detectives from local law enforcement agencies.
An autopsy on Culp is being performed today at the Benton County Coroner's office.

Second order memetic effects.
By CTR1(SW) H. Lucien Gauthier III
You may have seen the following quote making the rounds across Facebook:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The quote is in response to the popular reactions — euphoria in many circles — across the World to the killing of Bin Laden. As it turns out, this quote is not completely real. This memetic event displays the paradigm through which many people base their understanding of conflict, why it exists and how to prevent it.
Security Analyst Adam Elkus penned a brilliant response to the quote,
But neither love or hate are policies, strategies, or tactics. They're only emotions and ideal categories. They are not instrumental devices that we use to get what we want. So let's stop pretending that they are causal forces, that somehow rejoicing in the end of a mass murderer is going to conjure up more hate which in turn leads to more conflict.
Read his post, there is not much I can add to his words. Except for on the fact that emotions are not "policies, strategies, or tactics" is why taking up arms can exist as a profession, and why there is a difference between a mob and professionals-at-arms. As Adam mentions, conflict does not exist out of a primordial hate. Nor does it end because of a sudden emotional realization that there is some 'better way'. There is a spectrum to conflict, the same hatred that can be felt for a mortal enemy is the same hate felt for the Shipmate who cut you off on 264 going into NOB. Both forms of hatred are dismissed through the same cognitive process as well — though the means through that process differ significantly. At one extreme only the acknowledgment of the emotion is necessary for it to quickly dissipate. On the other, is the application of violence by professionals. This is to say that despite the irrationality of emotion, there is a rational and deliberative process that ends conflict. That objectivity defines modern conflict resolution (note: There was VERY little that I interpreted happening to me objectively while I was downrange. Afterwards, in getting home, my objectivity returned to me).
By looking at conflict objectively we have come to better understand the causes of conflict and have attempted to address our understanding of the causes through organizational constructs (NATO, UN, IMF, WTO — deliberative bodies) as well as methodical approaches (COIN, CT — tactics). But, in assuming the causes of conflict only as a function of emotion we remove any hope of conflict prevention. It is ironic that the sentiment expressed in the fake quote are actually an affirmation that violence and conflict are unavoidable and that humans are incapable of being disciplined enough to rise above their emotions.

By Holbrook Mohr/The Associated Press
PEARL — Mississippi's primary psychiatric hospital and a nearby facility for people with developmental disabilities were hit hard by this week's hail storm with damage that could exceed $1 million, an official said.
Now a race is on to patch holes in roofs and broken windows at the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield and the Hudspeth Regional Center before another round of bad weather hits.
"Right now, it's patch what you can, patch and repair what you can repair to get ready for more rain coming this weekend," said Scott Sumrall, the disaster coordinator for the Mississippi Department of Mental Health.
Sumrall said Thursday that most of the buildings have roof damage or broken windows at the state hospital, a sprawling 350-acre campus that serves about 500 psychiatric patients and more than 400 people in nursing homes.
The nearby Hudspeth Regional Center also had damage, including an administration building that "looks like somebody punched holes in the roof," Sumrall said. About 285 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live at Hudspeth and it serves an additional 1,400.
"I think we're easily looking at over a million dollars, possibly millions," in damage, Sumrall said.
Blue tarps were stretched across the red, clay-tile roofs on many buildings at Whitfield. Most of its vehicles were damaged and unusable, so cars were brought in from other facilities.
Sumrall said he estimates Monday's storm broke 2,000 panes of window glass.
There were no injuries from the storm, which dumped chunks of ice as big as baseballs on some parts of Mississippi, including the Jackson metro area. Whitfield and Hudspeth are in Rankin County.
The storm pounded a swath from Warren County through Jackson and its suburbs and into Rankin, Scott and Jasper counties, said Chad Entremont, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson.
Entremont said there's the possibility of more bands of severe weather in central Mississippi on Friday and Saturday. Those storms will have the potential for damaging winds and hail, but forecasters say the hail isn't likely to be as big as what hit earlier this week.
It's too early to tell exactly where the weather will hit or how severe it will be, though some forecast models show storms pushing along the Interstate 20 corridor, an area hit hard by the earlier weather, Entemont said.
Authorities don't know yet how many homes, buildings and cars were damaged, but it could be in the thousands.
Roszell Gadson, a spokesman for State Farm, the state's largest home and automobile insurer, said late Wednesday that his company had already received nearly 12,000 claims in Mississippi.
State Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney has said there could end up being 35,000 to 50,000 claims in the state.
"It may take us a while to get a good grasp of the monetary value of the damage, but it will probably be pretty staggering," said Entremont, the meteorologist.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise

Anybody notice the ominous Footprints on the last page? And above the horizon, was that a light from atop the Shinzu
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I think that light was Naruto's odama rasen shuriken.
As for the footprints, that page is related to this: http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/573/14
There will be an issue next wednesday, after that there will be along Hiatus till New Year. I hate it already.

>.> Kishi going on a long overdue vacation
Anyways a bit of a slow chapter but they have to wrap some of this up I suppose.
- I have been wondering why Madara has only been using Susanoo against Hashirama when he has the Rinnegan. I think Madara is just enjoying the fight but he can turn it up a notch if he wants.
The Bijuu should stay away from Madara.
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
Yeah, I think it's the Oodama Rasengan.
I'm usually the first to do the "No, Kishi is not doing religious imagery in his manga" post, but aside from the imagery implying something like the Star of Bethlehem (The star which was seen all over the world signaling the start of their salvation), there's just no point to the 2 panel spread. It can't be just a coincidence.
Sorry for double posting, but I'm unable to edit my post...
Is anyone else not able to edit their posts or reply to other posts? My Chrome keeps hanging up whenever I try to do either, and I've tried clearing browser data and disabling all my extensions to no success. I have been on this site for the longest time and I don't want to be turned away just because of something new that wasn't here before.
On the "new year" thing, this page: http://adnavi.shueisha.co.jp/schedule/w_jump.html says that issue #1 of WSJ comes out on 12/2. I'm not sure what New Year Kishi is referring to exactly.
So, first Naruto entered Obito and now Kakashi is on top of him, who was about to penetrate him with his Kunai, but was stopped by their undead sensei... .
So, was Obito finally able to see the light coming out from Naruto's Odama Rasen-Shuriken atop the Tree, that came to be thanks to the footprints bridge (where is Konan's rainbow bridge at times like these ;p ?) ?
Now I have to wonder if perhaps the manga won't end at chapter 666 in tribute to his brother's work ?
I have never heard, read, or seen previously, that a Rasengan Emitted a Flash or Pulse of light. In fact, now that the Tailed beasts are all free they should, or for beast bombs and blow the whole tree away.
Predictions are tough to make, however as I suspected Madara is still fighting Hashirama, and unless if he has a trick up his sleeve by which to suck in the Taled beasts again, he's gonna have to go on his own Rinnegan powers boosted with massive amounts of natural energy, and for this I believe he needs the Hashirama clone he has cooked up. I suspect this Clone is more Juubi than it is Hashirama. What I am saying is that Madara has altered the clone to be more like the SO6P than Hashirama is. He did this by incorporating his own cells and the Geddou Mazou itself into the clone.
Perhaps madara only needed the Bijuu for him to be able to awaken the Shinju Tree. And of course the extra chakra is a boost, but In the end his plan was about himself being the sole source of power.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise

As I was unbuckling her carseat, Baby Puppy said, "I like soldiers."
"I do, too," I replied. "Soldiers are very strong and brave."
"I wish Daddy was a soldier," said my beautiful, innocent child.
"Oh, I'm glad Daddy's not a soldier," I blurted out without really thinking.
"But, Daddy's strong and brave," an obviously puzzled Baby Puppy reminded me.
"Yes, he is," I answered, a little more carefully. "And, soldiers do wonderful things for us. But, if Daddy was a soldier, he might have to be gone for a long time. And, sometimes it would be very dangerous. I'm glad Daddy is not a soldier."
And, I wish that all of the brave, strong soldiers could come home.
Thank you, Petra Michelle. This really means a lot to me.
I want to pass this award on to Storyteller. Storyteller is, without a doubt, the most dedicated blogger I know. Congratulations, Storyteller!
