Pierce students explore new subjects through federal program
March 30, 2013
P I ERCE — While Mary is learning new cake recipes, Mikey is doing push-ups. Joe is studying photography at the same time Sandy is perfecting her yoga pose. And down the hall, Beth is learning all about hunter's safety.
You never know what you will see when you walk into Highland Elementary School — at least on Monday and Wednesday afternoons through March and after the standard curriculum of reading, writing and arithmetic is completed for the day.
"It's wonderful for them to be able to offer all these different classes," said Noel Johnston a retired Greeley-Evans School District 6 teacher who is teaching "Caught in the Act," an acting and theater class. "When I heard all the offerings — rockets, karate, P.E., guns — I thought, 'Wow, I won't have any boys.' But I do."
The program, nicknamed HELO, or the Highland Extended Learning Opportunity, is an eight-week extension of the classroom that offers students a chance to learn things they don't get in a normal school day. The class is from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday in February and March.
Administrators from the school district saw the program in another school district and liked the looks of it. When they approached Ben Palmer, a fourth-grade teacher at the school to head it up, it didn't take much for him to say yes.
"I was like, 'of course,' " he said. "And it has been so easy. All the businesses I've worked with have been great."
Title I money, which is federal grant money targeted directed toward at-risk youth, is funding the program. Palmer reached out to businesses in Greeley, Loveland and Fort Collins to lend their help and teach the things they knew.
The school ended up with 11 courses in everything from cooking, fitness, karate and yoga to photography, crafts, insects and hunter's safety, with 163 kids in second through fifth grade signing up.
The district extended its bus routes to accommodate students who wanted to sign up but didn't have rides home.
"Most of the classes started with 12, and many had to bump up to 16. Hunter's safety is at 30," he said. "We didn't want transportation to get in the way of a kid being able to participate."
Carol Martin signed up her fourth-grade daughter for the hunter's safety class. She said the program came at the perfect time.
"It's been awesome," Martin said. "I was considering putting both my kids in hunter's safety, but being a single mom, I don't have a lot of money to do things. This worked out great. I want them to get the right knowledge to be around guns safely."
Palmer said pre and post tests are required in each class to show growth as part of the grant condition, but the opportunity for students to get that something extra is priceless.
"I just thought of classes that kids would have fun with and paged through the Greeley phone book and started calling businesses," he said. "I tried to get a mix of things."
Apparently, the choices were the right ones, with 70 percent of the students in second through fifth grade signing up.
"This is incredibly important in any school," Johnston said. "Particularly schools like this where they are removed from being able to just walk across the street after school and do it. It's really great."

Rotator Cuff Disorders
Topic Overview
What are rotator cuff disorders?
The rotator cuff is a group of tough, flexible fibers (tendons) and muscles in the shoulder. Rotator cuff disorders occur when tissues in the shoulder get irritated or damaged. Rotator cuff disorders include:
How does the shoulder work, and what does the rotator cuff do?
The shoulder is a joint with three main bones: the upper arm bone (humerus), the collarbone (clavicle), and the shoulder blade (scapula). The bones are held together by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The rotator cuff keeps the upper arm bone in the shoulder socket and lets you raise and twist your arm.
The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball at the top of the upper arm bone fits into the socket of the shoulder blade. This socket is shallow, which lets you move your arm in a wide range of motion. But it also means that the muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff have to work hard to hold the bones in place. As a result, they are easy to injure and are prone to wear and tear.
What causes rotator cuff disorders?
Most rotator cuff disorders are caused by a combination of:
Both normal wear and tear and overuse can lead to impingement, when a tendon rubs against bone. This damages and irritates the tendon, which causes bleeding and inflammation. Over time, damage to the tendon may build up, so the tendon is more easily injured.
It takes great force to tear a healthy rotator cuff tendon. This can happen during sports, an accident, or a severe fall. But even a simple movement like lifting a suitcase can cause a rotator cuff tear in an older adult or someone whose shoulder is already damaged.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of a rotator cuff disorder include pain and weakness in the shoulder. Most often, the pain is on the side and front of the upper arm and shoulder. It may hurt or be impossible to do everyday things, such as comb your hair, tuck in your shirt, or reach for something. You may have pain during the night and trouble sleeping.
How are rotator cuff disorders diagnosed?
To diagnose a rotator cuff disorder, doctors ask about any shoulder injuries or past shoulder pain. They also do a physical exam to see how well the shoulder works and to find painful areas or activities. Moving your arm in certain ways can help a doctor learn about the condition of the rotator cuff.
You may have an X-ray to check the bones of the shoulder. If the diagnosis is still unclear, the doctor may order an imaging test, such as an MRI or an ultrasound.
How are they treated?
It is important to treat a rotator cuff problem. Without treatment, your shoulder may get weaker and you may not be able to lift up your arm.
For most rotator cuff disorders, doctors recommend these steps first:
The doctor may also suggest physical therapy. Physical therapy can reduce pain and help make your shoulder stronger and more flexible. In physical therapy, you learn exercises to stretch and strengthen your shoulder. After you learn the exercises, you can do them at home.
It is important to give treatment time to work. It may take from a couple of weeks to several months to get good results.
If other treatments don't help, your doctor may give you shots of steroid medicine in the shoulder. The shots probably don't cure rotator cuff disorders. But they can help relieve pain and inflammation so you are able to do exercises to strengthen the shoulder. The shots may also help your doctor find out if your shoulder pain is from your rotator cuff. If a steroid shot near the rotator cuff relieves your pain, even if the pain comes back later, it means the rotator cuff—not some other shoulder problem—is causing the pain.
Most rotator cuff disorders aren't treated with surgery. But doctors may do surgery if a rotator cuff tendon is torn or if several months of other treatments have not helped.

Something New
June 03 2009 02:41PM
Anyone who knows us in real life knows that we like to get excited about stuff. Once a week we hear something, see something or dream up something that gets us so excited we run around in circles till we are exhausted and forced to sit down. It's a great way to go through life – particularly when we follow through on whatever we dream up. Once upon a time it was the OilersNation itself that hit us like a bolt of lightning. This other time it was a website that built edible dog collars. Other things that excite us can be found below:
1. This Star Wars videogame trailer
We don't play videogames. Part of our brain thinks that we do and says "oh totally waste your last 300 dollars on a Wii. Of COURSE you will play it. You can then inhabit an imaginary alternate universe where you have gobs of free time to learn to play Star Trek: Conquest." Then we buy the Wii and Star Trek and stare sadly at it as we return from our job at the bottle depot, pass the Wii and go directly to bed on business.
Then we see a trailer like this one above - pointed out to us by our boy the human torch on Twitter and the love affair begins anew. As the human torch pointed out "How is it that a 3 minute game trailer better than all 3 Star Wars prequels put together?" We love Star Wars anyway, but the Torch is right as is usually the case. If we lived in Amsterdam like he does we would spend most of our time in the local coffee shops, not drinking coffee and would never be right about anything.
But that's just us.
2. This Young Buck song
Yeah we know it isn't the actual video – thanks to Universal for not allowing it to be shared on YouTube. But damn this is a wicked song. If you don't get pumped listening to Young Buck you either don't own a set of ears, played the song wrong or your brain isn't able to interpret audio stimuli into favorable recognition patterns.
Either way you suck and Young Buck doesn't.
3. Yelling about junk
Our buddy Chris from the most ass kickingest band ever TOAST has just started a podcast with his boy Tyler. We have listened to their first show and we are so jealous. Their show included a call in from God at the 43rd minute – who was interested in talking about Eskimos football of course – and a sound discussion of someone paying people at the bar to engage in fisticuffs. There is even a shout to the Nation and to our own Jonathan Willis at 19 minute mark.
*insert digital schwing here*
Two things came as a result of this podcast:
1. We have mad respect for T&C Sportstalk and will listen to their show regularly 2. We want to podcast too (imagine getting a call from God??)
We have been pondering the idea of podcasting for a long time but we had never heard a podcast until this morning. It looks like great fun. Let's be honest Nation, we aren't a writer. We know it, you know it. People have suggested to us that we keep writing articles but also start talking too. Apparently we talk funny and we have heard from a few people "I can actually hear you talking when you type out this stuff." We would never give up writing – even if some of you insist that we should. Actually the last person that suggested we give up writing got a beating to the tune of Young Buck and hasn't been a problem since. But you get the idea.
When we first started OilersNation we can vividly remember the day that we realized twenty people read the site per week and we were hooked. Fast forward 20 months and we are cracking 150,000 people a month which blows our mind. If one single person would listen to our podcast we would set to work making one. We even have a cohost in mind.
'Cause everyone knows - if you don't have time to play your Wii you most certainly have time to learn how to podcast.
Would you listen? Would you teach us how to play Star Trek: Conquest?
Based in that top pic alone, I would listen just to see how high and squeaky, and inherently angry your voice would be.
Is that 150,000 unique hits or does it include the 125,000 times I look at the site per Month?
I wish my lawn was an emo kid like that picture....that way it would cut itself.
Is that 150,000 unique visitors or 150,000 hits? It's gotta be unique visitors cause I hit this place 50 times a day. All part of my plan to make you bankrupt with server costs! *someone whispers in my ear*... Wait, you get money from advertising everytime I show up? Ohh now I'm totally never coming back, that'll learn you to build an awesome website.
PS. I'm going to need someone to email me every update and comment here 50 times a day if my plan is going to work.
Brrrrillliaaannnnnt picture.
Pod away trek boy. I might listen.

@ ScubaSteve:
I agree, this alone easily justifies one episode of the NationCast (email me for an address for the royalty checks). We gotta hear Wanye frothing at the mouth over Skype, possibly at some poor person who has no idea why they're present for the festivities.
True EMOS don't copy and paste- they cut.
Cutting lets the sad out.
Bioware is in Edmonton, so I think it's some kind of law that you have to pick up that game if you live within 20 Km of the city limits. It also looks bad-ass, too bad I'm what people like to call "video game retarded". I have an easier time trying to figure out how to unhook a bra then I do playing video games.
@ Canadian Maniac:
Oh I won't use skype. I am going to whiz away a whole bunch of time and money I don't have and build a podcasting studio in the basement of Wanye Manor.
@ DK0: @ Chaz:
Am I supposed to know that? I ask the developers "how busy is the Nation?" and they say "busy enough you need to rebuild the website again for the new season so it won't crash all the time." I then say "busier than it used to be?" and they say "you get about 150,000 visitors a month 350,000 pageviews and you are climbing fast"
Then I say "hey, is there any Tang around here? You web guys love Tang."
@ Wanye Gretz:
Web Guy Tang ain't nuthin' to f*ck wit!
I thought it was astronauts that love Tang. I can see the first podcast now, Wanye holding up some funny pics, then playing some rap, and then a story about lighting something on fire, and finishes it up with something incoherent about coors light. Sounds like gold to me!
jeanshorts, I'm with you on the bra thing, way easier to figure out and in the end, much more satisfying. You feel like you've accomplished something worthwhile.
Video games are a waste of time for me. If I did them I'd have no time for all things Oil, this spot included.
Podcast, I dunno new technology scares me...
@ jeanshorts:
Oh that is good. Now that baggedmilk has been dealt with you are free to run amok squarely in the spotlight I see. Well played.
@ ScubaSteve:
Not being able to put up pictures will be a definite handicap. I will have to find the audio version of MS paint to ruin things. I need to find a DJ/Producer too I now realize ....
@ jayoilfan:
I'm with you on the new technology. But 2 years ago I didn't even know what a blog was, 6 months ago same for twitter. I think we can somehow just put it here on the Nation for listening.
I am in favour of a podcast. As long as:
A: You are drunk & do it in a "Great White North" or "Kanadian Korner" kinda way. Complete with stubby beer bottles & empty cases of Bud Light.
B: You do an entire segment of Ghost riding the Whip.
Un-hooking a bra is the greatest skill in the world. It is one that unleashes the highest reward. Seriously! What is better? mmm...

As i understood it, the better you were at one of those things, the less you needed the other.
Amber wrote:

LOL. awesome.
Oh and yes, Podcasts would be cool. And bravo on the actually stunning short period growth of the Nation. I remember being able to count the frequent posters and have a good read on their senses of humour. Now.... So many people. So many opinions. So much fun.
@ Wanye Gretz: I'm figuring that if you step out from behind the curtain and more people put a face to one Wanye Van Gretz, you may see a spike in personal options. I'd be milking that.
wait... I mean if I was you I'd be milking that, not I would be milking you... damn. Uh... girls like famous people. You're famous. Shut up Travis.
@ jeanshorts: I think you have unlocked the key to whether or not you are a video game geek or not.
If you find it easier to one hand a bra or learn a new video game determines your status.
I am a bra guy myself, and I play games I learned in 1998 when I need a video game fix (Like Starcraft and Simcity 2000).
Cam wrote:

Maybe if i used a pair of scissors...
@ Travis Dakin:
Do you really think that? The only time I have had options in my life was when my grade three teacher gave me a choice: Stop eating glue or fail grade three.
I failed grade three.
Positive options would be a nice change.

You've got my vote for a podcast or something. Frankly, I'd love to see you featured in a video game.
"Super Wanye Bros."
Instead of Luigi, you've got your trusty pal Robin to help you navigate Edmonton's mean streets as you try to procure sought after free agents. Instead of power ups, you can have donair and beer. Instead of magic mushrooms, you can have ... magic mushrooms. I'm telling you, it's a goldmine!
Podcasts! Ooooohh yeah! Maybe you could hook up the JAG Thursday show with Gregor and Brownlee too.
June 03 2009, 04:40PM
I thought it was touching when Young Buck broke into tears trying to express his feelings over 50 Cent kicking him out of G-Unit. I still get chills seeing a thug cry. Like Patrick Kane did when he found out he wasn't invited to Wanye's birthday party.

Actually that game is being made by the Austin Texas branch of Bioware. Bioware got so big that they actually bought Pandemic from Australia and then branched out to Texas to make an MMO (apparently Texas is where all the MMO makers are for some reason). The big games coming out from the Edmonton office are actually Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age. Nerd street cred achieved! I actually pulled the one handed bra last friday and was so surprised that i nearly forgot what i was doing and did a victory dance. Still managed to get thrown out at home plate though.. (seriously who put Randy Johnson in center field?). I am all Swedish.... no Finnish :) Mad game cred not achieved.... :(
June 03 2009, 05:13PM
If only someone would design a video game where the objective was to unhook bras. Then you'd have something, right? Right . . .?
Travis Dakin wrote:

Look lower, young man. I know it's hard to believe, but it gets even better. :)
I'm already subscribed to way too many podcasts and can't keep up with them, but I'd definitely find time to listen to an OilersNation podcast.
At this point in time I would like to point out that I have never listened to a Podcast, but if I were to start now it would be to hear Wanye's deep baritone massaging my ears.
@ Wanye Gretz:
Have you ever thought of taking advantage of group pricing and assembling a horde of the biggest OilersNation junkies to attend a game at RX1 as an unruly argumentative mob? I'd be happy to pay my way... just keep me at least two seats away from Arch or we'll just end up bickering the whole game.

Just saying.
Wanye - podcast. You know you want to.
That Dam Star Trek game....
I appear to be living in that other time line, as I have won on Hard, with every race....
All but the Federation! I alas, am not Jean-Luc.
Which is why I now am in the lead in my BIG BASS FISHIN' Game !
Sigh.. I really hate the off season...
So call me a dumb ass, but what is the nuts & bolts, as far as a pod cast goes ? I log on somewhere ?
( I really have to sell that dam Wii )
Ender the Dragon wrote:

You know.. There might be something there... Maybe a whole line of games, that would involve different "levels" of the art of undress...
Name the levels, like the Baseball reference 1st, 2nd 3rd Base.. then "Sliding in to Home"
If you did it on a Wii, think of the wrist movements, as you hold the remote in your hand, as you on screen, work that Bra clip ...
Man ! That is it ! My Wii has to go !
sooooo....does this mean you are selling your Wii???? email me brother!
I need more things to pass the time I don't have...

But then you have to vie for the controller when it is a one player game. I prefer having a wife who drinks beer and watches hockey with me. ah... bliss.
The answer to the Oilers goaltending issue is Antero Nittymaki as far as UFA's go. Kari Lehtonen or Josh Harding as far as RFA's go. All 3 are capable tenders that are young enough to become the man and be here for a long time IMO.
@ RossCreek: Dude, we were talking about bras and video games... how did goaltenders creep into it?!? :-)
Seriously though I don't think the Oil should be going after RFA's this season. Let's keep our draft picks etc and concentrate on the UFA's. I kinda hope they keep Roli. He has a fire in his belly and I like that.
Lol. I'm not suggesting that they make an offersheet on the RFA's, but they're both guys that could be available because they are RFA's and their current clubs may be looking to move them. Gilbert and Nilsson for Lehtonen and Armstrong?
@ RossCreek: @ Cam:
I love it when someone comes into a conversation about donairs and bras and tries to talk hockey. LOLZ
@ OilersNation :
I am surprised no one chirped me for my suggest-o-tron. Very well! I shall begin putting what remains of my mind to developing a podcast.
*realizes he has bitten off more than he can chew, googles "how do I podcast?"*
June 04 2009, 09:04AM
I don't think that Star Wars game is gonna be nearly as cool as that preview vid. It's one of those massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft. Not my cup o' tea. Phtltptptptp *thumbs down*
As for your pod casting idea Wanye...git'er done! Eklund has a podcast, look how famous HE is now!
Is that supposed to be a lacuna coil t shirt on the gothic/me(n)tal munkey?
Wanye, you guys should definitley do this. but i think your co-host needs a new handle, he's not know yet so its not too late. what do you think?
@ roughneck: Haha, I totally think it is. Man the only thing Lacuna Coil is good for is when they turn off the amps and Cristina Scabbia and Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy) did that Revolver's hottest chicks in metal photo shoot.
@ Lenny Bamboo:
You don't like what he is going to use for a name?
What would you suggest?
PS Oprah is taken
@ Wanye Gretz: can we make suggestions?
I think his name should be "Numb Puck"!

There is a line. I got my girl gaming thanks to Oblivion (I love you Bethesda). Sometimes now when I want to leave the house for some Red Lobster or sun shine, she prefers to stay in playing Online action games together. It sounds wonderful, except that you take a womans natural anger, add in gamer rage - and being the distance away to physically strike you - you have a recipe for getting in sheet for the strangest things.
Ever not gotten lucky because of a badly timed teamkill? I have.
I'll try not to complain TOO much tho, because a hot gamer girl is more advantageous than not.

The Yo Zuri Sashimi Crank features Yo Zuri's patented wave motion and color changing technologies for a whole new level of fish attraction. The Sashimi ribs create a unique wave motion and vibration that bass can sense with their lateral lines and hone in on even in muddy or stained water. The ribs also accentuate the Sashimi Crank's color changing characteristics, accurately imitating an excited, fleeing bait fish. The bait's colors actually change with different points of view, actions, and lighting. Its large round body also helps it produce a wobbling and rolling action on the retrieve, and its durable hard plastic lip allows it to deflect off of all types of cover and structure.

Comments: When I first got some of these I thought they felt kinda cheap. That lasted until I put one in the water. Great action! It's nice to watch them "change color" but in our eutrophic lakes I don't know if that's a big deal at 10-12 feet down. I have caught many bass with this crank but far many more big northerns including one of my best ever days last fall. You might want to change the hooks out, I've bent a few. Living in the Land of Rapala I must admit I have come to like these baits alot.
From: Rondo: MN 3/28/15
Comments: The pictures don't do these baits justice. They really do have a strong color changing difference from front to back. They have a great wobble, cast well, and are built very well. Even the split rings are high quality.
From: J: NV 9/10/14
Comments: This is a very high quality crankbait. I got both the fire tiger and gizzard shad and I love there color changing qualities.....I can tell that the fire tiger is going to catch alot of fish. They cast and swim great too with nice rattles. If you have the extra cash to this crankbait I recommend it. Next on my list is the baby bass color =)
From: Steven: Fort Knox, KY
Comments: Could'nt be more happy, The colors sold me! I got the Chameleon Bluegill!!!

Supporting Rule of Law and Access to Justice in LibyaAug 6, 2013
Demonstrating their strong commitment to the improvement of rule of law and access to Justice in Libya, the Ministry of Justice, represented by Libyan Minister of Justice Salah Marghani, and Georg Charpentier, UN's Deputy Special Representative and Resident Coordinator in Libya signed on behalf of UNDP a project agreement on 06 August 2013 within the framework of the "Support to Rule of Law and Access to Justice" project.
The project, financed by the Governments of Libya, Japan and Denmark for the amount of USD 6,125,570, is considered an important milestone for the partnership of UNDP and the MoJ towards a results oriented project. The overall objective of the present programme is to support the restoration of justice and security in Libya in support of the country's transition to democracy. It aims to empower civil society and the Libyan people to access justice, resolve disputes and build peace.
The project will focus on institutional strengthening, mainly of the Ministry of Justice, High Judicial Council, the High Judicial Institute and different judicial institutions; improved access to justice of the Libyan population and; and support the implementation of Transitional Justice process to promote national reconciliation, and contribute to national consensus on Transitional Justice.
The key beneficiaries are the MoJ and the High Judicial Council, in addition to the High Judicial Institute, which is the principal training institute for the judiciary. Other target beneficiaries include, the Truth Seeking and National Reconciliation Commission, the Lawyers' syndicate and associations and civil society and non-governmental organisations. Ultimately, however, the people of Libya will be the principal beneficiaries of the project, especially victims of the former regime, and post-conflict vulnerable groups such as victims of SGBV, the displaced and the disadvantaged.
The ceremony was attended by key figures of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and UNDP Libya, with the participation of the Head of International Corporation and staff members of the Ministry of Justice.
In striving for these outcomes, UNDP will work over the next two years in close partnership with the relevant Libyan authorities, and within the context of broader international support to strengthening the rule of law in Libya.

The Green River Pirates track team has enjoyed a success at each track meet they participate in. A scaled back team participated in the Milford track meet on April 10 and five of the six athletes made it into the finals in at least one of their events and all the participating athletes set new personal records in each of their events. "That's what track is all about, doing your best as an athlete and letting the chips fall where they will," said coach Royd Hatt in reflecting on the season so far. At Milford the Pirates were competing against 1A teams and they performed very well.
On April 17, the Pirate Track team visited the Carbon High invitational and again each athlete performed well, but this time they were competing against larger 3A and 4A teams. Sarah Swalberg took first in the javelin with a distance of 123' 2" and fifth in the shot put with a distance of 30' 3.5" while Megan Hatt took third in the long jump with a distance of 15' 2.75". Justin Johnson took third in the javelin with a distance of 141' 11" while Jason Johnson took sixth in the shot put with a distance of 36' 3.75". Dallice Johnson set her personal record with a jump of 13' 2.25" along with Melissa Antillion with a jump of 13' .75". Kieth Clark set his personal best with a discus throw of 89' 11.5".
The Pirates held their heads high as they competed on the track with the larger schools. In the 100 M hurdles, Megan Hatt posted a 18.70 time in her first running in this event. Kelsee Robertson posted a sub 32 second time in the 200 M run with a time of 31.96, her personal best while Michella Hughes posted a 29.91 and Megan Hatt a 29.41.
Jason Johnson posted a 25.47 in his running of the 200 M while Michaella Hughes gutted out a 14.59 in the 100 M and just behind her were Melissa Antillion with a 14.7, Dallice Johnson with a 15.21 and Corrinne Hansen with a 16.97. Speaking of Corrine Hansen, she ran for the first time the 800 M run where she posted a 3:25.39. Corrinne was a true sport as she met the challege of a new race and though she hit the 'wall' at the 300 mark on her second lap, she gutted it out to the end where she still wore a smile on her face and said she'd be willing to run it again.

Wills and Drury get a pair of "hat tricks" as the Cyclones roll over Widefield
On paper, last week's Foothills League opener between the Pueblo West Cyclones and the Widefield Gladiators looked like a major mismatch.
It was.
They Cyclones offensive line overpowered the 'Glads small and inexperienced defensive line, and West's speedy backs were too much for the Widefield linebackers and secondary.
When the dust finally settled, the Cyclones came away with a 39-21 win.
The Cyclones (3-1, 1-0), piled up 486 yards rushing on 57 carries. Junior fullback Kaden Wills had another monster night, rushing for 238 yards on 22 carries (10.8 yards per carry).
Wills scored the "hat trick", getting to the end zone three times, including an electrifying 50 yard touchdown run on the Cyclones first possession.
Senior Quarterback Zac Drury also scored three times, on runs of 24, 7 and 4 yards.
On the night, Drury rushed for 95 yards on 11 carries (8.6 yards per carry).
The Cyclones third victory came with a price, however, as sophomore Shane Larson went down with a serious leg injury. Larson's absence will be felt in all phases of the Cyclones game.
The speedy tailback was emerging as a triple-threat, lining up at several different positions on offense, shoring up one corner on defense, and returning kicks.
Fortunately the Cyclones tradition includes building depth at all positions—especially at running back. The "next men up", sophomore Carter Ortiz, and junior Cameron Vaughan, were certainly up to the task. Ortiz came in for Larson in the first quarter and carried the ball nine times for 62 yards. Vaughan chalked up 63 yards on 12 carries.
It is starting to sound like a broken record, but seven game balls have to go to the offensive line again this week. The Cyclones moving crew of Cody Ortiz, Keith Hed, Andrew Jones, Malik Jones, Josh Medeiros, Daniel Hernandez and Dean Thompson had another outstanding game.
As good as the Cyclones offense has been, they continue to stop themselves with turnovers and penalties. It is almost scary to think of the scores they can put up if they are able to take care of the ball and avoid the mental mistakes.
By Pueblo West's standards, the overall defensive effort was below average.
The Cyclones defenders fully expected to pitch another shutout, especially since Widefield had not scored any points in its first = three games.
But the Gladiators' new head coach, Brent Cottrell, challenged his team to show that they belonged on the field, and they responded by making three big plays for touchdowns (two passing and one running).
For the record, the Cyclones 'D yielded only 56 yards rushing and 43 yards passing on the other 32 plays ran by the Gladiators. Game balls also go to linebackers Brandon Summer and Brandon Firkins for smothering the 'Glads backs all night.
The Cyclones, ranked No. 7 in Class 4A, square off against the Cheyenne Mountain Indians this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at Pueblo West High School. The Indians (1-3, 0-1) are coming off a 35-6 loss to Pueblo Centennial. The Cyclones hope to have senior tailback Kamron Clough and Kicker Willian Dos Santos back on the field this week.

Just thought someone should look at the recent shock in 559 regarding edo tensei madara with all the info we have.
As much as I hate to say this, it appears that it's HIGHLY likely that Tobi is madara's brother,Izuna. Dispite this I still believe Madara HAS AND WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE AS A MAJOR VILLAIN IN THE STORY as I feel Tobi and Madara have made plans to reunite and take over the world.
Spoiler!Tobi wanted Nagato to use rinne tensei for his purposes, we didnt know what that was but with Madara now thinking initally he was revived by nagato's rinne tensei it appears Tobi wanted to revive his brother Madara all along. Very important to note that madara wasnt pleased that he was revived under the nototion of it being Nagato, showing that he must have feared that Nagato could have gone rogue and deviated from tobi and his plans. Last chapter Madara was talking about a person that had plans for his revieval which didnt quite go right. Kabuto steps in and tells him he is the one controlling these summons and that he was this person's assitant. Both madara and kabuto are talking about tobi I guess so this just adds to the mystery of tobi.
But Kabuto has ruined tobi and madara's plan, looks like tobi is rushing to Madara right now to make sure Kabuto doesnt turn madara against him. And we understand why Tobi was shocked to the point of calling kabuto a madman because how Kabuto got MADARA's DNA now is A MAJOR TALKING POINT. I can only assume Orocihmaru will play a role in his from the past afterall he was obessed with the sharingan so why not try and find the greatest uchiha to ever live, makes sense to me. Orocihmaru has already graved robbed hasihrama's body why not Madara aswell. Making me wonder what Orocihmaru's true goals really were.
Very important thing to note is the era of madara's death as this too is strong evidence that Madara and his borther tobi have made plans to take over the world. Since Madara knows about Nagato and rinne tensei that means Madara died around the time when Madara was pretending to be the muzikage. The hair styles match aswell of edo tensei madara and madara behind the muzikage when he first meet kisame. But all the way through this time Tobi was also alive at some capacity remember he wouldnt have regained his eyes probably until Madara gave them back to him during his final hours. Tobi(pretending to madara) said he did take hasihrama's cells, so with Hasihrama cells I can easily see how both Madara and his brother Tobi have stayed alive as long as they did.
Also some portions of the confession to Sasuke about Madara's actions in the past by Tobi is also VERY important to note. Tobi(pretending to be madara) said he didnt take his brother's eyes BY FORCE, now I totally belive this and during this time Tobi clenched his fist in anger when it was suggested Madara stole his brothers eyes. And it makes prefect sense why Tobi has a big grudge on konoha and the uchiha like Madara did because when Madara took his brother's eyes the clans uchiha and senju made a truce and the sacrfice was in vain. Not to mention Tobi's more recent actions being the Fox attack on konoha and his dealings with itachi/danzo to wipe out the uchiha clan.
Another thing that is making this very belieable is how much Tobi knows about konoha,uchiha, senju,rinnegan,so6p and more importantly Hasihrama. Not to mention jutsu in general, we see Tobi being incrediblly well knowable in jutsu. Also out of the abilties we have seen Tobi use his strong genjutsu skills relates back to the Sharingan and the Uchiha. Also Tobi talking over the fox against minato is a clear sign Tobi was once a MS user but more importantly that Tobi is an Uchiha and a strong one. Also all that Tobi talk about being a former shell of his former self fits in with Tobi being Izuna as he gave his eyes to Madara and weakened as a result.
At this point Tobi has fooled everyone including both Minato and Itachi quite well, because pretending to be a dead man's brother is a hard cover to break if you dont know much about Madara to begin with. For example if Tobirama and Hasihrama were alive Tobi wouldnt have fooled them as they know Madara all too well as they are all in the same era. Even Onki being as old as the third hokage was inaitally very surprised Madara was still alive at the kage summit, but even he had to accept it as true dispite actually fighting Madara. I feel Madara fought Onaki around the time Madara was controling the Muzikage. In fact next chapter PLAY CLOSE ATTENDTION TO WHAT ONKI COMMENTS ON MADARA'S MOVEMENTS AND SKILLS.
The only other people I can tolerate Tobi being is the so6p older son because the motive is still there, putting aside how likely this is if you know what I mean. Also Tobi may well be a previous Uchiha clan leader before Madara and Izuna took over. Hell he could even be Nagato with that "I gave nagato the rinnegan" talk. Tobi could even be a someone shape shifted into some else, one of the unquie powers of the rinnegan that hasnt been revisted since Nagato used the technique with Kisame and Itachi. Important to note that this allows the shape shifed being to use bloodline limits.
When it comes to this matter there's one thing that must be constant about who Tobi is and thats MOTIVE for this actions. It has to be someone that hates the so6p's younger son(eg,senju), likes amassing power and wants to take over the world. Also it has to be someone wise meaning old to be as knowledgeable as Tobi has shown about matters that a clearly before everyones time in the current timeline.
Althought I'm not loving this plot twist, on the birght side at least we get to see Madara fight and his EMS. Which will shed some light on the Madara vs Hasihrama fight which is another MAJOR issue that needs to addressed by kishi 10 TIMES OVER lol.

Download the Core Knowledge Sequence
The Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence • The Core Knowledge Sequence (K–8)
The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of specific content and skills to be taught in language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, and the fine arts. It represents our best effort to identify and describe the specific core of shared knowledge that all children should learn in U.S. schools.
Reading, listening, writing, and speaking with understanding depend on a shared body of common knowledge. It's part of the nature of language: speakers and writers assume their audience shares not just the same vocabulary, but the same context in which those words appear. Thus the Sequence is not an attempt to impose a canon. It's an attempt to curate the knowledge shared and assumed by all well-educated, literate Americans.
Since our founding over 25 years ago, the Sequence has served as our source document. All of the activities of the Foundation—books, CDs, curriculum materials and professional development--have been aimed at ensuring that all children have access to this rich collection of stories, poems, history, works of art and more.
In an open letter in March 2010, founder E.D. Hirsch announced that the entire Sequence would be made available for free for non-commercial use on the Foundation's website. We are pleased and proud to be able to offer you this important education resource.

UN Launches Sustainable Development Network to Help Find Solutions to Global Problems
New York, 9 August 2012 - United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today launched a new independent global network of research centres, universities and technical institutions to help find solutions for some of the world's most pressing environmental, social and economic problems.
The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (http://www.unsdsn.org/ SDSN) will work with stakeholders including business, civil society, UN agencies and other international organizations to identify and share the best pathways to achieve sustainable development, according to a UN http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/pdf/SDSN%20FINAL%20release_9Aug.pdf news release.
This initiative is part of the work undertaken in response to the mandate on post-2015 and the outcome of UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), which took place in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, in June.
The Solutions Network will be directed by Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to Secretary-General Ban on the global anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It will operate in close coordination with the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
"The post-2015 objectives will help the world to focus on the vital challenges of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network will be an innovative way to draw upon worldwide expertise in the campuses, universities, scientific research centres and business technology divisions around the world," Mr. Ban said.
The High-level Panel will advise on the global development agenda beyond 2015, the target date for achieving the MDGs, and it will hold its first meeting at the end of September, in the margins of the annual high-level debate of the General Assembly. It is expected to submit its findings to the Secretary-General in the first half of 2013, and those findings will inform his report to Member States.
The eight MDGs, agreed on by world leaders at a UN summit in 2000, set specific targets on poverty alleviation, education, gender equality, child and maternal health, environmental stability, HIV/AIDS reduction, and a 'Global Partnership for Development.'
According to the news release, given that politics around the world too often focuses on short-term issues while governments often lack the timely information needed for long-term sustainable-development strategies, it is essential that scientists and technology experts outside of government support the development of long-term analyses, demonstration programmes and development pathways.
The SDSN is expected to provide an independent global, open and inclusive process to support and scale up problem-solving at local, national and global levels.
"In the 20 years since the first Rio Earth Summit, the world has largely failed to address some of the most serious environmental and social problems pressing in on us," Mr. Sachs said. "We can't afford business as usual. We need to engage the academic and scientific community, and tap into worldwide technological know-how in the private sector and civil society, in order to develop and implement practical solutions."
Substantial emphasis will be placed on collaboration across countries to analyze common problems and learn from each other's experiences. The network will accelerate joint learning and help to overcome the compartmentalization of technical and policy work by promoting integrated "systems" approaches to addressing the complex economic, social and environmental challenges confronting governments.

"Slowdance bring keyboard and guitar and a rhythm section that can flip from a new wave throb to a spaghetti western rumble as easily as it delivers punchy indie-pop, all anchored by vocalist Quay Quinn-Settel's demure cheek and soprano dramatics. She recalled France Gall, and they did Stereolab, because language still counts (even the set-closing cover of New Order's "Consent" was not without its tie to France). Says Quinn-Settel: "I learned how to read in French before learning in English. It's half of me, it wouldn't feel right to sing in English alone. Plus the way the language shapes the mouth changes the timber of my voice, so it's nice to have both." - Stereogum

Braganza Blue Border Backsplash for the Kitchen
Braganza Blue Border Backsplash for the KitchenTaking its cue from historical, centuries-old designs and colors from Portugal, the Braganza Ceramic Tile series features a red bisque ceramic tile that is beautifully hand-painted with a high-gloss glaze.
The vibrancy of the hand-brushed patterns of our Portuguese Ceramic Tile collection pair nicely with the Portuguese Natural Field Tile we offer.
Using the traditional Majolica glaze technique, the Portuguese Braganza Blue Ceramic Tile is fired twice to achieve its high-gloss over-glaze. There are no limitations to the use of this series. Like all our Spanish and Portuguese ceramic tiles, they can be used in indoor or outdoor settings, including water features, such as pools, ponds and water fountains.
Designing with Portuguese TileIn this kitchen setting, the Portuguese Braganza Blue Ceramic Tile collection was used in the 3"x6" size to create a focal point. The 4"x4" decorative Portuguese Braganza Blue inserts, which have since been discontinued, add to the vibrancy of this much-needed focal point in the kitchen.

BLM Issues New Policy regarding Conditions on Wild Horse and Burro Sales (01-04-13)
The Bureau of Land Management today announced a policy – in the form of what's known as an interim Instruction Memorandum – regarding new conditions and restrictions on wild horse and burro sales. The new policy was prompted by the BLM's overall effort to improve its management and care of wild horses and burros that roam Western public rangelands.
"Today's announcement marks another step forward in our agency's steady improvement in ensuring the health and humane treatment of wild horses and burros, both on and off the range," said BLM Acting Director Mike Pool.
No more than four wild horses and/or wild burros may be bought by an individual or group within a six-month period from the BLM without prior approval of the Bureau's Assistant Director for Renewable Resources and Planning.
When buying wild horses and/or wild burros, purchasers must describe where they intend to keep the animals for the first six months following the sale. Without prior approval from the Assistant Director, the BLM will not sell more than four animals destined for a single location in this six-month period.
Buyers must provide transportation for the purchased animal from the BLM's short-term holding corrals or other locations to its new home. Specifics regarding acceptable trailers can be obtained from the new interim policy, which is posted at: http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/info/regulations/Instruction_Memos_and_Bulletins/national_instruction/2013/IM_2013-032.html
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Adorable but Small
"I really love, love, love this clutches design. It reminds me of a giraffe. The clasp is secure however one major flaw, it does not fit my phone. Granted I have a Samsung Galaxy 3s so it's on the bigger side but not one of the biggest sold and the clutch is not wide enough to accommodate it even without a case. I kept it but probably won't get much use out of it because my phone is one of the things I always carry with me."

All efforts for a rescue of the trapped Crandall Canyon coal miners came to an end on Aug. 31. Rich Kulczewski from the Mine Safety and Health Administration announced at a press conference that all rescue efforts have been exhausted and the drilling of bore holes would cease.
The six trapped miners have been within the confines of the Crandall Canyon mine owned by UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. since the morning of Aug. 6. Around the clock rescue efforts have been ongoing since that time. On the evening of Aug. 16 another seismic activity came into play which resulted in the injury of six miners and the death of three rescuers. Since that time the underground efforts were deemed too risky by experts. Above ground rescue efforts continued with the drilling of additional bore holes. These bore holes yielded no additional information about the fate of the trapped miners. Hopes were raised when a robotic camera was brought to the drilling site. It was put into one of the larger bore holes and was within 10 feet of the mine, when it couldn't progress any farther.
The camera was able to get into the mine through hole number four. Images from that hole came back with the mine shaft having a lot of water and mud and the roof in the area was sagging and was a lot worse than was originally expected. MSHA had concluded at this point that the miners were not alive. Those missing miners include: Brandon Phillips, Kerry Allred, Don Erickson, Carlos Payan, Manuel Sanchez and Luis Hernandez. MSHAs investigation into what caused the cave-in began on Sept. 4 and officials say it will go on for many months
On Sept. 15, there will be a celebration of heroes concert and the featured performer is Collin Raye with an appearance by Karl Malone. Charley Jenkins who has appeared twice at the Emery County fair will also entertain. This celebration will take place at the Canyon View Junior High school and will begin at 3 p.m.

The Utah State 2-A volleyball championships were held last weekend at Utah Valley University and region 15 came away the winner. Region 15 champion Richfield defeated region 15 runner-up San Juan in the championship game for the state title.
Region 15 third place finisher Grand made it to the semifinals but finished fourth in the state after a loss to Enterprise. Region 15's Emery High finished eighth in the tournament after barely sneaking into the 16-team affair on the final day of the season. The Lady Spartans, for the most part, played excellent volleyball at UVU, and finished the tournament by placing.
Emery opened the tournament against Enterprise, a region champion, and played some really good ball before losing 27-25, 25-12 and 26-24. Games one and three could have been won by the Spartans.
In the Spartans second match, Emery played great and soundly thumped North Sevier 25-16, 25-16 and 25-18. Emery jumped out early in each game and never let North Sevier have any hope of getting back into the match.
In Emery's third match on Saturday morning, Emery defeated a good Millard team by the score of 25-22, 25-23 and 25-21. Although the games were close, Emery seemed to be in control throughout the match.
Emery then lost their final game to Beaver. The game decided the sixth place and eight place finishers in the tournament. Emery opened the match with a solid 25-16 thumping of Beaver. At that point, the Spartans started helping the other team it seemed with net serves and missed kill shots and Emery lost the next three games by the score of 25-20, 25-17 and 25-19.

Sendak in the '60s
Amidst the turbulence of 1960s America a quiet revolution took place where few expected it: the world of children's books. Maurice Sendak was part of a vanguard of writers and illustrators transforming the American picture book and revolutionizing children's culture in the '60s. We may take these books for granted now but each was experimental in its day, breaking picture book conventions and defying expectations. This exhibition is the first to explore how Sendak's art reflected both social and personal turmoil.

Shiloh Jolie-PittCelebrity Relative
Born: 27 May 2006
Birthplace: Swakopmund, Namibia
Best known as: The Namibia-born daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt is the daughter of actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Shiloh is their first biological child together. (Jolie has also adopted a son, Maddox, in 2002, a daughter, Zahara, in 2005, and a son, Pax, in 2007, and those children later took Pitt's last name as well.) Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's birth was heavily covered in the press, due in part to the unusual circumstances of her birth: she was born in the African country of Namibia, where Pitt and Jolie had spent several weeks of pre-natal seclusion at a private resort called the Burning Shore Lodge. Her twin brother and sister, Knox and Vivienne, were born to Jolie and Pitt in 2008 in Nice, France.
Extra credit:
The order of birth of Shiloh and her siblings is: Maddox (b. 2001 in Cambodia), Pax (b. 2003 in Vietnam), Zahara (b. 2005 in Ethiopia), Shiloh (b. 2006 in Namibia), and the twins Knox Léon and Vivienne (b. 2008 in France).

Editorial: Gov. Brown says deficit is done
A buoyant Gov. Jerry Brown appeared Tuesday on "PBS NewsHour" to tout California's recovery and prospects. Say what you will about his politics, but from the time he first became governor in 1975, Mr. Brown always has been a good salesman for the more effusive elements of the state.
PBS touted his proposed budget for fiscal year 2013-14, as a sign of "a remarkable turnaround in the nation's most populous state." Interviewed by Spencer Michels, Gov. Brown said, "The budget is fixed. I inherited a $27 billion deficit. That's what it was two years ago. And that's gone. This budget will be balanced."
He conceded that there could be a problem. "Now, is the world absolutely safe from any contingency? No. 1, the world is change and turbulent. So, if the economy gets worse, then we get less money." He added that the federal government might block state reductions in social services. And, although President Barack Obama "is promising 100 percent of the cost" of implementing the Affordable Care Act, he said, "Now, what if, because of the cliff negotiations and the debt – maybe they will renege somewhat on that. I don't know."
We hope the governor is right on his projections. Speaking this way also puts a stop sign in front of his fellow Democrats in the California Legislature, who now have supermajorities in both the Assembly and the state Senate, in their desire for more spending.
Gov. Brown's thinking is curious on how an economy works. "But I have to tell you, the ideology of the Republicans is different than the Democrats. They don't mind the inequality, or they believe that by giving more money to the most well-off, it will trickle down and everyone will get better off."
But in Congress, the Republican leadership just joined with President Obama in pushing through tax increases not only on the "most well-off," but on 77 percent of Americans, as evidenced by a drop in take-home pay beginning this month. But it's curious that Gov. Brown believes not increasing taxes means "giving more money to the most well-off."
As to his "trickle down" comment, it contradicts the flat-tax ideas he championed in his 1992 presidential campaign, when he promoted lower taxes to promote growth.
The governor is scheduled in May to issue an update on his budget plan and whether it has remained in balance. By then, there also may be indications whether the state's "most well-off" have accepted the heavier tax burden Gov. Brown worked so hard to give them, or have started eyeing states with lower taxes.

I think I'll be fine if Sabo eats the Mera Mera no Mi.
I really hope he isn't a DF user, just someone with strong grasp of different haki.
As I said in my earlier post, I'm not entirely blown away with Sabo, though what a reveal! He's obviously going to have the Conqueror's Haki (much to my disappointment...), but I guess it's fitting that the three 'brothers' wield it. I'm curious as to what his fighting style will be. He was originally a staff fighter, even in his adult depiction, but I'm sure that could have changed. This chapter was more curious to his character after all this time than an OMG moment for me :/
Reckon Sabo will join Luffy?
Would be awesome to have another "brother" with the Mera Mera no Mi!

Nice reveal with Sabo. Can't say I was TOO surprised though. I had figured something like that was going to happen ... Have peeps stopped suggesting that Bellamy is going to join the SH crew? Because, if you still are after the last chapter you're delusional. He will ''help out'' but to his own ends.
- Ot
^ Well I also don't believe Bellamy will join, but its kind of impossible to tell with Oda. For all we know Bellamy could change even more than he already has once Doflamingo is defeated. Come to think of it, what would Bellamy do with his life when Doflamingo is gone? Kill himself?
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
He wont betray him he said so in the comic. Even after the he tired to have him whacked he wouldn't. As for what he'll do once Doflamingo is done with I'm not too sure. He'll either be dead or he'll slowly fade into the background ...
- Ot
He said he would rather die than betray Doflamingo, though.
''A mans got to live and die by his principles''.
''I'll never betray Doflamingo I still have the utmost respect for him'' (that's after he knows that Dofl has told the family to get rid of him).
http://readms.com/r/one_piece/731/2179/15 (the middle panels).
He may get a cover arc, but I doubt more than that.
- Ot
I thought I told you moderfuhers! That Sabo was save by Dragon. Awesome chapter BIg Mom involved as well, there's gonna be action left and right. Sanji being the strongest in the ship right now to fight against Big Mom doesn't look to good. They might cooda burst away from Big Mom to Zou. But if that happens I wonder if Big Mom would come to Dressrosa.
Sabo eating the mera mera no mi be pretty cool, I'm surprise about how much confidence Luffy has for him to win the tournament that easily. Even with Burgess in it. Now we have Zoro and Luffy heading to Mingo's castle, couldn't ask for a better pair.
F*ck the holidays we get no chapters!!!

Skip to comments.Obama administration embraces major new cut in nuclear weapons
Posted on 02/08/2013 5:03:03 AM PST by Monty22002
WASHINGTON -- Senior Obama administration officials have agreed that the number of nuclear warheads the U.S. military deploys could be cut by at least a third without harming national security, according to those involved in the deliberations.
Such a reduction would open the door to billions of dollars in military savings, which might ease the federal budget deficit. It also would improve prospects for a new arms deal with Russia before President Barack Obama leaves office, those involved said, but its likely to draw fire from conservatives, if previous debate on the issue is any guide.
(Excerpt) Read more at miamiherald.com ...
What difference does it make?"
I'm sure all these "savings" won't fund the deficit for more than half a day. Obama thinks that we have no need of nuclear weapons.
I say No, No, No!
Billions in savings that could ease the budget deficit. First, you've got to have a budget. Second, anyone really believe they won't just part themselves on the back for their "savings" then go blow that much or more on some dumb-a##ed big government socialist program?
Nice they consulted WITH EACH OTHER ;)
Obama Administration = Utter FOOLS
If anyone thinks that voluntarily cutting our Nukes will impress the Russians to cut theirs they are a damned fool.
All the predictions in the movie "2016" are coming true
I wonder how many of theirs still work and would actually launch on command. Given the degraded condition of their military can their rockets be in any better shape?
Good grief. THis man is making Jimmy Carter seem competent in comparison.
That's exactly what they will do — all the while the wolves will gather on the edge of light and wait for the flames to shutter...then pounce.
Every morning I ask myself - how did we get to this point in the US...and why would anyone want to take us here — it leads only to death and destruction...very depressing to see a vibrant nation being striped while everyone stares at pretty novelties....
"The results of the internal review havent been announced, but theyre reflected in a proposed classified directive prepared for Obamas signature that details how U.S. nuclear weapons should be targeted against potential foes, according to four people with direct knowledge of the documents content. The sources, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to talk to a reporter about the review, described the president as fully on board, but said he hasnt signed the document."
My head just exploded.
I seriously don't know why I follow the news, the insufferable stupidity of this administration and the journalists who propagandize for them is driving me to an early grave.
These marxists will not stop until the USA is defenseless. Why don't we just vote them out? That ought to work, right? It's worked so well in the past.
"details how U.S. nuclear weapons should be targeted against potential foes"
I.e. they're changing the targeting.
Unilateral disarmament is a key in Obama's planned destruction of America and her role in the world.
Obama was reelected so now he has the "flexibility" he was talking about. Vlad got the message and now Obama is delivering. We can use the savings to fund Obamacare.
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
Remember Ubama's Friendship with the Communist Billy Ayers, which was the only thing I ever needed to know about his world view, Ubama is following the plan.
They're not stupid. This is the plan. Their hatred of the US is all consuming and its destruction will be seen by them (if they live) as justice for an aggrieved world.
These predictions will one day come true, pray they dont come true here,
"The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail." Jeremiah 50:43
"One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end, And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come." Jeremiah 51:31-33
Even North Korea is about to test a mobile ICBM and they are posting videos about destroying us with it.
To hell with "conservatives", Americans need to fight back against the left. They will get us killed, that's what they do.
>how did we get to this point in the US
By allowing (comparative) trivial issues to divide the GOP and allow the truly evil party to take control.
Yeah, how convenient, with sequestration right around the corner. Smacks of desperation just like every other maneuver this clown tries.
this strategic assessment is brought to you by the same same great academic brains that have brought you TARP, porkulous, Fast and Furious, cash for clunkers, obamacare, Benghazigate, do ask do tell, and the US economy for the past 5 years
Say, shouldn't countries like Iran and North Korea have to undergo background checks to get a nuke?
Such a reduction would open the door to billions of dollars in military savings, which might ease the federal budget deficit.
Bull crap!!! It will do NOTHING to ease the deficit. The libs will simply pour the savings into new spending programs.
I didn't think we had any nukes left. How many do we have left? Five?
Our ICBMs have been off "hair trigger alert" since 1994:
United States Russia mutual detargeting
Currently, Minuteman III ICBMs and Trident SLBMs either have no target in their guidance system, or open ocean targets. This forces the additional step of having to enter or select a target prior to launch. However, some systems have the capability to being retargeted in flight.
I'm not really sure what other steps can be taken. We did end the alert status of the Minuteman II ICBM force in 1991, and later did the same for the Peacekeeper ICBMs. But both of these actions were taken because both of these systems were being decomissioned as part of arms control agreements. During that time, Missile Operations Officers still went to their control capsules and Missile Security crews still went out to the sites in order to keep the systems secure.
If we want to take them "off alert", I am not sure what else would be done. Perhaps powering down the guidance systems, but all of the other monitoring will need to stay up and operational for nuclear surety.
If Obama wanted to remove the warheads from the missiles and move them to storage (like you would when you take a bomber off of nuclear alert), that would effectively end any reason to have an ICBM force. Moving a nuclear weapon a half a mile from a bunker to a bomber alert pad is one thing, moving a nuclear weapon 20 miles across open roads to an ICBM silo is a major undertaking.
Realize when Obama said this incredibly ignorant statement, he was a sitting senator. He was believing crazy leftists talking points more than his own country's defense policies.
One of the big warnings from Trevor Loudon is Obama's main goal is cutting defense. Wrecking the economy, 'income redistribution,' the class warfare, etc is 'important' to him, but it all relates to the main goal of gutting our military and making us vulnerable. Then, in 2016, (as I understand Loudon) he is afraid Russia and China will band together and make the decision to possibly attack as we'll be at our lowest defense capability ever in recent history - (assuming a Republican candidate promises to 'rebuild the military, etc.'). More worries because of the LoFos. . I'm still trying to get over the election. . .
Senior Obama administration officials have agreed that the number of nuclear warheads the U.S. military deploys could be cut by at least a third without harming national security, according to those involved in the deliberations.
It essentially said that a group of people appointed by and serving at the whim of Obama decided among themselves and in accordance with Obama that they agreed with his stance on cutting nuclear warheads.
The "savings" angle is laughable, so much so I'm crying. If their lips are moving they're lying.
I.e. theyre changing the targeting.
Probably targeting red states in "flyover country" with them now.
Nobody needs more than 10 nukes. Why does anybody need more than that to kill a deer?
One nuke, ballgame over.
Look what two 767s did to downtown Manhattan.
Ya know, it wasn't that long ago that entertaining such thoughts was the stuff of the tinfoil hat crowd, not so today, we don't have to be even remotely paranoid to believe our president is knowingly working against our own security interests or that our enemies are becoming more emboldened ala neville chamberlain,
I'll repeat something I've posted before just because i think it interesting and related to this topic, I'm not predicting anything, so ignore as you like,
Babylon was given 70 years to the very day to be the preeminent world power in the Earth and in relation to its treatment of Israel, (see Daniel Chapter 5)
I discovered awhile back that 70 years after the United States used the first Atomic bomb in war, August 6th, 1945, and rising (I conjecture) to be the ultimate national power on the Earth on that very day,
That it's exactly 25200 (70 years X 360 days) to the day counting to the 9th of AV in August of 2014.
What does that mean? I dont know, but if it means anything it cant be good, (Tisha B'Av as it relates to Israel has always been a day of darkness, mourning and destruction)
We couldnt find a better anti-Israel person to be in the role of Belshazzar, or even leopard king Nimrod,
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1:9
Notice the Beast does not have a wedding ring on in that photo. Bill must have pawned it.
"Probably targeting red states in "flyover country" with them now."
Israel too.
So what will Obama do with any "alleged savings"?
How about the first few chapters of "Left Behind" ?......
Round 2.
Round 1 was 2011:
The New START Treaty responsibly reduces the number of nuclear weapons and launchers that the United States and Russia deploy, while fully maintaining Americas nuclear deterrent. President Barack Obama
Treaty Structure: The Treaty between the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms also known as the New START Treaty.
Strategic Offensive Reductions: Under the Treaty, the U.S. and Russia must meet the Treatys central limits on strategic arms by February 5, 2018; seven years from the date the Treaty entered into force. Each Party has the flexibility to determine for itself the structure of its strategic forces within the aggregate limits of the Treaty. These limits are based on the rigorous analysis conducted by Department of Defense planners in support of the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review.
Aggregate limits:
1,550 warheads. Warheads on deployed ICBMs and deployed SLBMs count toward this limit and each deployed heavy bomber equipped for nuclear armaments counts as one warhead toward this limit.
A combined limit of 800 deployed and non-deployed ICBM launchers, SLBM launchers, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments.
A separate limit of 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped for nuclear armaments.
Verification and Transparency: The Treaty has a verification regime that combines the appropriate elements of the 1991 START Treaty with new elements tailored to the limitations of the Treaty. Measures under the Treaty include on-site inspections and exhibitions, data exchanges and notifications related to strategic offensive arms and facilities covered by the Treaty, and provisions to facilitate the use of national technical means for treaty monitoring. To increase confidence and transparency, the Treaty also provides for the exchange of telemetry.
Treaty Terms: The Treatys duration is ten years, unless superseded by a subsequent agreement. The Parties may agree to extend the Treaty for a period of no more than five years. The Treaty includes a withdrawal clause that is standard in arms control agreements. The 2002 Moscow Treaty terminated when the New START Treaty entered into force.
No Constraints on Missile Defense and Conventional Strike: The Treaty does not contain any constraints on testing, development or deployment of current or planned U.S. missile defense programs or long-range conventional strike capabilities.
Nonsense. We have plenty of nukes, probably as much as the number of ingots in Fort Knox.
Interesting analysis. We'll see how it plays out. A agree with you that I never thought this stuff before with previous presidents. There's no other way to say it, what Obama does is anti-American. He talks a good line, but his decisions all boil down to anti-Constitutional, anti-capitalist and anti-American.
Even this whole pop culture thing - the music, "entertainment", celebs, the MSM mind numbing diversions - all intended to keep the sheeple in line while he does his dirty work. Are there any congress or military guys left in Washington D.C. that are willing to take a stand? The Pentagon? Media? C'mon guys, the country is dying right before our eyes. Millions of us out here are fraught with worry that our country may be on the road to its planned destruction. This is tinfoil not. It's Obama's actions consistent with his grooming. Help!
I suspect there is an escape clause in obamacare that reads that in the event of war you are not covered.
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
