Revision as of 15:17, 11 October 2007
At the United States Patent Office, paper copies of patent documents are stored in special drawers called "shoes." According to some, the term "shoes" arose from Thomas Jefferson's practice of storing early patent documents in his shoe boxes. This story is probably false.
Henry Remsen, Jr. wrote a memorandum in early 1792, most likely for the benefit of his successor as chief clerk, in which he said the following about patent documents:
Petitions for patents are to be endorsed according to the present mode, the day of their receipt, and noted in the minute book, in which petitions are filed together in the desk up stairs in one of the pigeon holes. In the said desk are filed in another pigeon hole, the petitions decided on; and also the drafts of patents issued, which drafts the law for promoting useful arts directs to be recorded. Some of the specifications are in said desk, and others in the closet.[1]
Monticello research historians have never found any evidence that Jefferson even had shoe boxes. He always ordered his shoes directly from shoemakers, and would have either picked them up or had someone else pick them up; it is unlikely there was a box involved.[2]
Finally, Kenneth W. Dobyns, in The Patent Office Pony: A History of the Early Patent Office, has the following to say about this story:
Printing patents had an interesting and lasting effect on the furniture which was required by the Patent Office. Before patent drawings were printed, examiners, while searching patents, had to look at the original drawings in the draftsman's office in large portfolio cases, such as those shown in the illustration from 1869 on page 173. There were 777 folio cases of original drawings which were safely removed from the draftsman's office in the fire of 1877. But when the drawings, and especially the entire patents, were printed, they were available for search in the examiners' rooms and soon in the new public search room. The necessary new filing system was provided by the shoe cases still in use in today's Patent and Trademark Office. The origin of the term shoe is lost, although every patent examiner knows where his shoes are. Some have attributed the term to Thomas Jefferson, suggesting that he stored his patents in shoe boxes. But we know that the drawings kept in the Patent Office in the preprinting days were of varying sizes and were kept in portfolios from the earliest days. Shoes, as we know them, could only have arisen after all patents were available in small, uniform sizes and could be kept in small, uniform boxes. A complete inventory of the moveable property in the Patent Office was made in 1870, [footnote 1] including numerous portfolio cases, portfolio racks, portfolio drawers, and cases for models, 22,000 volumes of books and 300 spittoons, but no shoes. Augustus Burgdorf, livery stable operator, undertaker and cabinet-maker of Washington, sold portfolios and cases to the Patent Office in 1878. [footnote 2] The first known mention of shoes was on March 28, 1879, when he sold shoe drawers to the Patent Office for $115. [footnote 3] What were called shoe drawers would now be called shoes. Among the many possible origins of the term is that preferred by your guide. Perhaps file cabinets suitable for holding bundles of patents while allowing easy access to search through them were already available before they were needed. Perhaps shoe shops of the day kept their supply of ready-made shoes in wood cabinets containing numerous drawers of just the right size to hold patents, and when the Patent Office wanted to order its first drawers, it ordered shoe drawers from Augustus Burgdorf. Or maybe not." [3]

I agree kenpachi wouldnt stand up to aizen because his ability to withstand cuts is because his opponents have lower spiritual pressure but if Aizens such a bad ass as he was made to be he obviously has high spiritual pressure.
It makes sense that in a society like Hueco Mundo where they only respect power that Aizen and his "generals" would be more powerful. Which makes me wonder to if he really needed to go through all of this to complete his goal the guy hasnt even released his zapakto and he has already defeated 2 bankais. If my theory of him using the Hogyoku to either gain his resurrection hollow powers or to be able to change a vasto-lorde who I think might be the only espada standing in the real world is correct did he really need that much fire power? Heck the Vizards captains are the only ones who have the ability to fight him (if they revealed there true power which im not satisfied they have done) and they wouldnt have that ability if it werent for his great lengths to get those powers

Posted on 10/18/2012 9:09:23 AM PDT by massmike
We have some breaking news out of New York: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled on Windsor v. the United States, a case challenging Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, and found a federal definition of marriage as one man and one woman violates the U.S. Constitution.
"[W]e conclude that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act violates equal protection and is therefore unconstitutional," they wrote.
Our legal eagle Ari Ezra Waldman will have a full analysis soon.
(Excerpt) Read more at towleroad.com ...
> USSC will affirm DOMA
Given the pass that 0bamao-care got from the USSC, there's an even chance that it will strike down DOMA.
> it will be made into an Amendment.
Not likely. You need two-thirds of both houses of congress, plus two-thirds of both houses of two-thirds of the states to amend the constitution.
That means it's entirely probable we'll shortly develop a pill that can be given to chilluns' as they reach puberty to RESET THEM.
Currently the number of gays is probably nearer .2% than any higher number.
Those that vote Democrat in any way shape or form, are spitting on Him
Interesting take. I wonder. Did all the people in Germany who voted for Hitler go to Hell? I wonder....
"The politicians on Beacon Hill would not allow the referendum to come to a vote in the Mass Senate"
Patrick was governor by then. Just barely, but he was the gov.
The politicians on Beacon Hill violated the Massachusetts Constitution by not allowing us to vote. Never in the history of my state had so many signatures been gathered on an issue.
Section 2. Powers reserved to the states
No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.
Section 3. Definition of marriage
In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word 'marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word 'spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.
Also, the Lilly Ledbetter act and the Civil Rights Act are also unconstitutional.
good news...let's get this part of the campaign before we have the minority on this issue.
What's that got to do with the package of legal rights and responsibilities conferred on pairs of individuals by government? As soon as term "marriage" was conceded to government control the argument was inevitably lost.
Yep. And it won't even be close. This would pass faster than a pig through a boa constrictor.
It's decades old and silly. God made all.
What they really meant was it violates their extrapolation of equal protection into special protection for special categories.
Court: More Equal
Ah. Thanks for the correction.
The politicians should have been arrested for malfeasance.
But with Devil Patrick in the corner office, they must've felt safe.
Foster Furcolo would've sent the State Troopers over there to handcuff them. I remember him threatening to keep the legislation in session "until Hell freezes over"(his words in a TV broadcast to the citizens of Massachusetts) to get the no-fault auto insurance passed.
Obama really thinks rectal matrimony is a winning issue.
That's a lie and you probably know better.
Romney ordered compliance with the state supreme court ruling on the last date allowable by the court then set about fighting to give the People a voice on the matter until the end of his term. He even sued the legislature do try to make that happen. He was not successful.
The American people are for DOMA. Bring it up in the debate by all means, Mitt. Make Obama defend his position.
The dumb-ass "court" is WRONG. All persons are treated the SAME under that law (DOMA). Every person has the right to be single, OR to marry any person of the opposite sex he or she can talk into it. There is no simply no discrimination. Period. Obviously, the "judges" could never program a computer.
With the state involved, the definition it uses to recognize the institution is simply whatever judges, pols or the majority thinks it is at any one time. And thats it, and thats all it will ever be. Combine that with the fact many have been conditioned to think marriage comes from and is defined by the state and you have what we have today. It was always a danger. Pope Leo XIII warned about it 130 years ago.
There were thousands and thousands of names tossed off the signature list and still there was a record set for the amounts of people who wanted to vote on this.
The space for a citizens signature on the sheets provided were so tiny you had to be careful when signing. Any names just outside the box was tossed. The homosexuals had an army of lawyers go over every single name gathered - every one.
This state was fired up and ready to go on the issue. Even liberals I knew were going to vote against this BS. The vast majority of the clowns on Beacon Hill should have been arrested.
My state once reared folks such as Revere, Adams and Warren. Now we've got the likes of Patrick, Kennedy and Kerry. How the hell does that happen?
Again, the NRA and GOA should take this conclusion and sue for "equal protection" to conceal carry nation-wide, and invalidate any state-level gun laws as unconstitutional.
Marriage has always, through human history, been defined as a union of a man and a woman. How would this violate the Constitution?
Amazing that so many people wasted so much time pushing the "Equal Rights Amendment", since apparently it was already IN the constitution and we all just didn't know it.
Of course, the opinion, without even reading it, is stupid. Every man and every woman have the exact same rights — the right to marry a person of the opposite gender. A gay man has the same right as a straight man, or a transgender man, or a cross-dressing-man. They can all marry females, and those females can have any sexual orientation or none at all.
The idea that "equal protection" means that one person should different rights is absurd, and smacks of "1984" newspeak.
However, the first practical application of this should be to require car insurance companies to stop giving discounts to female drivers.
God made all, but all can't marry all. Think of the ramifications if it were so.
Heck, remember, the Jews have a polygamous background, and the Christians too, inasmuch as the Old Testament is a part of our Holy Writ. Though we (Jews and Christians) haven't practiced that for millennia.
If you're alluding to Mormon vs Muslim, the Mormons have officially discountenanced polygamy for several generations.
As far as I know, only the Muslims have formal, approved polygamy these days. Them and some of the animists, I reckon.
Bahahaha! Post of the Day! I am so stealing that! ...and a new tagline is born!M
Please tell me that this is not the first time you've heard that one.
...and all these years later,gay "marriage" STILL is NOT legal in Massachusetts!
http://www.massresistance.net/ (March,2010)
For years now — since 2005 — the homosexual lobby has filed and refiled its bill to legalize "gay marriage" in Massachusetts. They know that the law as it now stands refers to "man/woman", "husband/wife" relationships as marriage. Today, the Judiciary Committee once again sent the bill to "study" — meaning, they killed it. But the very existence of this bill over the years confirms that we are correct that "gay marriage" has never been made legal in Massachusetts.
House Bill 1708
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority
of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 207 is hereby amended by adding the
following new section:
Section 37A. Any person who otherwise meets the eligibility requirements of this chapter may
marry any other eligible person regardless of gender.
Why would the Judiciary Committee continue to bury this bill? We believe they don't want to draw attention to the fact that all the "gay marriages" since 2004 are fraudulent.
For those two guys it's not in the far reaches of the distant past generations ago ~ or even all that many decades back!
It goes the other way too; something that is no longer constitutional may be held to be constitutional. (Look at prohibition and the War on Drugs, and how they now 'justify' "regulation" under the commerce clause now.)
I wonder if the IRS made everyone file individual and pay that rate regardless of married or not, we would not even have the gay marriage situation. I would be for filing single and have my wife do the save to save marriage. The problem is most people are selfish and would never go for it even though it would save marriage and take gay marriage off the table. People if given the choice would pick having gay marriage over filing "single" on their tax forms which is kinda sad.
Buddhism does not prohibit polygamy.
Everybody in MA is doomed to Outer Darkness anyway so what do any of us care about that crowd.
So now are they free to marry ten people? Or a pack of dogs? What are the parameters of 'equal protection' to those numbskulls?
Good point! And why don't we all pay the same percentage - now that is equal.
OMGoodness! The courts have been infiltrated by constitutional domestic terrorists! Someone tell Jan the Man, quick. It time to pull down the judges' pants and to stick pervert agent hands in their wounds as they enter and exit the building!
I heard Little Richard say that talking about his own conversion from homosexuality probably 30 years ago.
> My state once reared folks such as Revere, Adams and Warren.
Now it rears folks such as Bawney Fwank and Gerry Studds. Maybe "reared" is not the best term to use here, but it fits.
Oh, and now you have the other Warren. Lizard-breath Faux-ca-haunt-us Warren.
I moved out of Mass in the 70s. Too bad a lot of Mass liberals had the same idea and brought their broken politics with them.
It's a spreading disease, I tell ya.
HUH, how on this earth can they find marriage between one man and one woman unconstitional?
If ever we needed a constitutional amendment it was 10 years ago when all these mentally sick folks started to push their twisted agenda.
Also when is this crap ever going to stop, shall we also state that brother and sister, two men and a woman etc is also unconstitutional
Impeach the judges.
Romney and Ryan will say gay marriage is settled law and time to let it go and move on.
You know, my 5-year-old granddaughter can't get a driver's license. Something about age, driver's ed training, and ability to operate the controls. Clearly this is a violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution. ACLU, I'll be waiting for your phone call.
Notice that one and one is in there. If you can't limit it to one man and one woman, you can't limit it to one couple, either. And it would be speciest to say it is limited to human beings, so that is out.
You want to shake this debate up? Go down to City Hall right now and apply to marry your girlfriend, her girlfriend, and their two dogs.
If they give you any trouble, point to this ruling and DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS!!!
Guarantee that the judges have homosexual pals or family up there and that their emotions and how they felt with those who are family and friends came into this decision.
This court is now saying that anyone can marry who ever and as many.
Therefore polygamy and other kinds of marriage is now allowed.
To think all of this is based on how they like their sex, that is all it is.
Homosexuals are classed as people who like sex with the same sex, that is it, end of full stop, period .
Based on that then how one gets off sexually is now given special rights and to think even some on here and our side defends this sickness
Please post your clear and convincing evidence that Romney instituted gay marriage.
So why are age of consent laws constitutional? If we can't discriminate by gender, why can we discriminate by age? We'll have to abolish the drinking, driving and voting ages as well. We'll also have to overturn all laws about women going topless, since it's gender discrimination that men can walk around shirtless but women can't. So that's one good thing that could come of this.
got my wife out of that state about 9 years ago and she said it was the best move she ever did but what pisses her off is that those from up there bring their liberal ignorant socialist union ways and votes with them and then try to change states like VA, NC, FL.
I just hope every conservative up in the north east and west coast gets the hell out of their liberal utopia's and moves to a swing or republican state, hopefully a swing state.

Stuart Weitzman is stepping into some fresh digs. The shoe company, which is owned by Jones Group Inc., recently signed a 10-year deal for 37,500 square feet on the third floor of 625 Madison Ave., between East 58th and East 59th streets. Asking rent was $75 a square foot.
Stuart Weitzman, which also operates a retail flagship store on the ground floor of the building, will move from 50 W. 57th St., where it leased 13,800 square feet. The tenant plans to move in this summer and will use the space as both an office and a showroom.
The high-profile building, also home to Ralph Lauren, will fit the company�s brand image and also move Stuart Weitzman a bit closer to wholesale buyers, says Laura Pomerantz, the PBS Real Estate broker who, along with colleague John Brod, represented the tenant. Landlord SL Green Realty Corp. was represented in-house by Larry Swiger.
The space was previously occupied by Solara Capital and Hermes.

FORT HOOD, Texas - A radical American imam on Yemen's most wanted militant list who had contact with two 9/11 hijackers on Monday praised alleged Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan as a hero on his personal Web site.
The posting on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion.
Awlaki said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to "follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal."
Authorities say Hasan fired off more than 100 rounds before civilian police shot him in the torso. He was taken into custody and eventually moved to an Army hospital in San Antonio, where he was in stable condition and able to talk, said Dewey Mitchell, a Brooke Army Medical Center spokesman.

Blowtorch, pliers, 15 minutes.
Sorry for the double post... just saw it in "Breaking"....
Waterboard him!
What kind of decadent suicidal people allows those who openly act and speak in favor of their demise, to live amongst them and use their own laws, culture, and economy against them? We are our own worst enemy in the 21st century.
Should have been black-tagged. Better allocation of resources.
I am sure he got everything and some PC general gave him a KORAN (sp I don't care if I spell it right)
He needs only one thing. . . . 2400 Volts 50 AMPS with one electrode up the A$$. . . The other clamped to his baby maker. . . . .
First question I would ask:
Will that be HAM or BACON with your breakfast?
Oooops!? Is that torture?
I'm willing to bet he will a free man in less than 20 years.
The posting on the Web site for Anwar al Awlaki, who was a spiritual leader at two mosques where three 9/11 hijackers worshipped, said American Muslims who condemned the attacks on the Texas military base last week are hypocrites who have committed treason against their religion.
Awlaki said the only way a Muslim can justify serving in the U.S. military is if he intends to "follow in the footsteps of men like Nidal."
And this Mosque is still standing, why? Time to quit pretending they are religious places of worship. They are nothing more than fortified bunkers in the middle of our neighborhoods.
Has anyone told him about the new medical breakthrough using pig's blood to replace human blood?
I hope he has hot female nurses changing his diaper.
"Will that be HAM or BACON with your breakfast?"...
For someone who frequented Strip joints regularly (as with the 9-11) terrorists... ham and bacon would be an actual treat... although it'd be perceived as torture....
So if you're going to feed the guy and get blamed for torture anyway.... how about Draino?
.357 base of skull televised on 6pm news.
LOL! I nearly busted my gut!
But, what will he be in less than 20 years and one hour?
I wanna see a video of this sh*tstain being told that he was shot by a woman.
He's probably in a vegetative state.
Doesn't he have a "right to die?"
Like Terri Schindler Schiavo did.....
This thing that passed through the intestinal tract of a pig is talking. I only hope that his first words are reported accurately by a compliant media.
What is more sickening than his crime is the way liberals have rushed to his defense.
mass deportations.
After all, Dr House has already tormented Jews, Catholics, Mormons and Evangelicals, surely he'd have something to say to a fanatic radical Moslem.
What? No? Ah come on, he took on the CIA, politicians, corporate bigwigs, a genocidal dictator, an AIDs activist and a hermaphrodite supermodel, surely he can't be afraid of Moslems?
All right, if Hasan is going to wake up to torment in TV land, I guess it will have to be South Park.
Paging Dr. Cartman!
Only after the lectricity is administered as described in my first reply, and then charge the family for the bullet.
The smell of ZOT & burning flesh along with the dimming of the lights is a strong deterrent. . . . .

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Generally speaking, I get up every day feeling good because I really enjoy my life and living here in Emery County and here in Utah. I have good kids, good kid-in laws, great grandkids and a good wife. I have many good friends and I enjoy my siblings. I feel that everything in life that is worth having is available to me. I feel good.
As I picked up a Salt Lake daily newspaper, I noticed the story that Hawaii has passed Utah as the best-off state in this country. Wow, Utah is the best place to live in this great country with the lone exception of Hawaii. No wonder I feel so good every day. I live in a great place. It is no shame to lose the title to Hawaii because I can tell you from personal experience that Hawaii is at least a great place to go on vacation to and Utah is a great place to come home to.
I then wanted to know why others think this state is so good. Although we have a few chinks in our armor, Utah was rated high because of a great work environment where we all feel satisfied with our jobs and because of life evaluation; we think that the future will be good for us.
As we all know, this state also has a great outdoor environment with great outdoor recreation. Utah has the best skiing in the world and the greatest snow. From the five national parks to all the national monuments to the state parks to the national forests, Utah is loaded with places that are not only visually pleasing but also loaded with fun things to do. We are an active people that enjoy life.
Then I looked across the page and saw an article that also caught my eye. Someone was not happy with Utah finishing second and keeping all of us happy. No, someone had taken the time and effort to break down this state of ours and tell us where in this state we are the happiest and where in this state we are not. So now I had to read more.
Yikes, right after it said that Morgan County is the best place it uttered simply that Carbon is the worst. Really? What, how is this possible? They are right next door to me here in Emery County and we are closely linked, are we also bad off. No we are better off, we are only 19th worst off. How is this? I was just feeling so good about Utah. Now I am depressed, I thought life was good and now I am told that it is not as good as I thought here in Castle Valley. Now I am confused, I think it is good and somebody else does not. Could I be wrong?
Why are we so bad off here? Now I had to read more. It told me nothing. The rankings were based on smoking, obesity, binge drinking, teenage pregnancy, insurance, high school graduation, access to healthful foods and air pollution levels. I am still confused. I don't smoke, I am far less fat today than yesterday, I don't binge drink or even drink at all for that matter, I am not pregnant and nobody related to me is, I have insurance and I eat healthy foods every day whether I want to or not. Air pollution, I just know I see a lot of really blue sky. I have a good life, so this must be wrong.
I then thought to myself, why do I enjoy living here? That is not as easy as one might think to answer.
Then it came to me, this is home. Years ago, I might have felt different but not today. When I first moved here 36 years ago, I hated it and couldn't wait to leave on weekends. Nobody told me about the extra digit that had to be dialed to place a long distance phone call and nobody told me about UHF television. This was a strange place. But as you can tell, I stayed. Now this is my home.
My first answer is the San Rafael is 10 minutes one direction and Huntington Canyon is 10 minutes the other. That is almost the best of both worlds, to steal a line from Hannah Montana. I have a hillbilly shack up Indian Canyon that is fun to go to. We have Huntington Reservoir and Joe's Valley and Millsite. We have 4-wheelers and snowmobiles and horses. We have Wal Mart and K-Mart and many other fine shopping places. We have what we need and we are not afraid to drive to find what we don't have.
We have Goblin Valley and the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry, we have the Wedge, Red's canyon, we have Mussentuchit and Cathedral Valley, and we have Miller Flat and Cedar Mountain. We have golf and we have rodeos and city celebrations, we have the Pageant and the ATV jamboree.
I disagree with the papers ranking, this is a good place to live and to play and to work. Emery County, Utah, the best.

Leaving out the frills but delivering plenty of runability, the Brooks Ghost 6 is a cushioned and smooth go-to trainer that gets the job done.
Over the past few years, the Brooks Ghost has risen to the top of the popularity charts for neutral daily trainers. The Ghost may not feature shiny bells and whistles, but it's cushioned and it's smooth, and that's what counts. It comes as no surprise that when it's time for an update, Brooks doesn't try to mess with a good thing here.
If there's one thing the Ghost 6 is good at, it's delivering a balanced ride; it's not the softest shoe in its category, but it isn't too firm either. Of course, Brooks' proprietary DNA cushioning in the heel and forefoot provide a tailored cushioning experience and make the shoe noticeably more responsive when picking up the pace.
Runners have long lauded the Ghost's smooth heel to toe transition, and we'll say that the praise is well deserved. By filling in the midfoot shank of previous iterations, the ride is even smoother before, especially for those landing on their midfoot, though at a small cost of slightly reduced overpronation support.
Changes to the upper in this update are mostly cosmetic. Seamless overlays have been added around the toebox for reduced irritation, but fans of the fairly open and accommodating fit of the previous version will continue to feel at home in this update.
"The upper feels a little plusher than the previous version for more comfort, but the fit of this Ghost feels identical to its predecessor."
"The Ghost 6 delivers a smooth transition and plenty of protection whether you're landing on your heel, midfoot, or forefoot."
"I like that the shoe tends to firm up when picking up the tempo, which makes it suitable for some speedwork on top of your daily training."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
At the October Public Lands Council meeting, Dickson Huntington, grazing subcommittee chairman expressed concern over grazing and the upcoming BLM resource management plan for the San Rafael Swell and the Price River District.
Huntington said that Rex Sacco, grazing advocate, from Price had faxed them some information that the BLM was going to be retiring active grazing permits as part of the RMP plan. The RMP process is currently underway and a series of alternatives are being developed. Huntington maintained that legally the BLM cannot retire grazing permits and it takes Congressional action to do these things.
Actions like were taken in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument where conservation groups purchased grazing permits and then retired them should never have been done. Actions like this are illegal under the Taylor Grazing Act. Lands adjudicated for grazing must be used for grazing.
Craig Johansen said if actions are taking place which are contrary to what grazers think, they need to be active in the RMP process and make sure their concerns are made known. The three allotments that are being considered for retirement are currently closed to grazing. One such allotment was in the Buckhorn Draw. Johansen said there could be grounds for legal action if the BLM were to retire these units.
Dennis Worwood, council chairman, said that as the BLM develops the different alternatives for the RMP that grazing might be addressed differently in each alternative. Floyd Johnson from the BLM said that the alternatives are currently in Washington being looked at for further input. He pointed out that the alternatives are a first draft and that input from the public will be gathered at public hearings to be incorporated into a final draft which will again be subject to public input.
Huntington emphasized the need to get involved in this BLM process and to make sure comments are made with the concerns of the grazers outlined. He said that in the history of the permittees things have been bleak and the cattlemen often end up losing ground. He pointed out that in the last RMP a lot of grazing was phased out, the grazing board was lost as well as spring grazing was eliminated. "This was devastating to the cattlemen," said Huntington. "We need to take a stand right now, or they will get what they want. The lands council should take a stand that we will accept no loss of AUMs and stick to it. We should advise that the BLM strictly adhere to the Taylor Grazing act and not divert from it. I'm not talking about temporary reductions for the drought, we can live with that, but the RMP will be good for 15 years or so."
Board member, Tory Killian suggested the rallying of local cattlemen with education and awareness of the issue. Huntington said they have been doing that and will continue to do so. He said that Sacco said for each animal taken off the ground the economy of an area loses $1,100 in goods and services. The Icelander allotment was recently fought over and the grazers won. A defeat here would of resulted in a loss of approximately $1 million for the economy.
Johnson said that they are looking at four alternatives now and that in the end a preferred alternative is likely to contain a mix of all four.
Worwood mentioned that monitoring of the allotments is key to defending your positions. In the case with the Icelander allotment, the Jensen family had better documentation than was being used and were in a position to defend their allotment. In riparian areas along the San Rafael River it was proven that the plants that were growing there would not have been able to exist if the area were overgrazed. He stressed the need to have vital, correct information about your allotment and not to make assumptions.
It was determined that the lands council would invite Sacco to attend a public lands council meeting to keep the council updated on attacks on grazing.

Broncos wide receiver visits Heath Middle School
May 27, 2013
Anyone who's had teenage daughters knows the sound they make when they get excited.
The deafening noise likely falls somewhere between a newspaper press at 97 dB and a thunderclap at 120 dB. That is until Eric Decker walks into the room — then it gets a lot louder.
"I like playing football," said Pamela Richmeier, 13. "Football is fun. And he's cute."
Pamela and the rest of her classmates at Heath Middle School got an hour-long visit from the Denver Broncos wide receiver as part of a celebration for becoming a "touchdown" school under the Western Dairy Association's Fuel Up to Play 60 program.
The National Dairy Council and the National Football League launched the program five years ago to improve nutrition and activity among children.
The program teaches students how to make positive changes by improving their nutrition and being physically active for 60 minutes a day. Since 2009, the program has grown to more than 1,400 schools and 850,000 students in Colorado alone.
Schools are supplied with support material and can compete for incentives such at trips to the Super Bowl, official NFL gear and player appearances, such as Decker's visit on Friday.
Heath was awarded the trip for becoming a "touchdown" school — the only one in Colorado.
The school has developed a student team to lead the program, had a program kickoff, conducted a school wellness survey and incorporated healthy eating and physical activities into the school day.
Heath has implemented a grab-n-go breakfast for students. It has purchased additional sports equipment. It works with students to come up with creative ways to stay active at home. And it incorporates physical activity into school assemblies when it can.
"This is a great organization," Decker said after the event. "It hits close to home with me being an athlete and eating right."
The students asked Decker questions ranging from his favorite Bronco player to what gets him motivated in the morning.
Despite most of the girls being excited and even some hardcore, boy Bronco fans being in awe, there were some boys who dreamed of more.
"I wanted to see his fiancé," Xavier Bonham said with a laugh about country and western singer Jesse James .
After a short presentation about healthy eating and getting outside for activities, Decker participated in a series of "Minute to Win It" competitions that included a contest with Heath Principal Blakley Wallace to see who could put on football pants, pads, shirt and helmet the fastest.
Before he left, he took photos and signed a few autographs for students.
"This is about the kids," Decker said about how he manages to add one more duty to his already busy schedule. "I love sharing the positive message for them to live their dreams. They have to know that if they do good things and work hard, positive things come from that."

Interactive Timeline
A History of Dental Troubles
George Washington experienced problems with his teeth throughout his adult life. Although he regularly used dental powders and a toothbrush similar to our own, his tooth loss persisted.
Separate fact from fiction and learn more about George Washington and his troublesome teeth. Were his dentures really made of wood?
Despite his legendary physical strength and iron constitution, George Washington's failing teeth were a source of regular suffering. At age 24, Washington recorded in his diary that he paid 5 shillings to a "Doctr Watson" who removed one of his teeth. Letters and diary entries later in his life make regular reference to aching teeth, lost teeth, inflamed gums, ill-fitting dentures, and a host of other dental miseries. Payments to dentists and purchases of toothbrushes, teeth scrapers, denture files, toothache medication, and cleaning solutions are also regularly present in Washington's communications throughout his life.
One of the most enduring myths about George Washington is that his dentures were made of wood. It's quite possible that some of his dentures, particularly after they had been stained, took on a wooden complexion, but wood was never used in the construction of any of his dental fittings.
Throughout his life Washington employed numerous full and partial dentures that were constructed of materials including human, and probably cow and horse teeth, ivory (possibly elephant), lead-tin alloy, copper alloy (possibly brass), and silver alloy.

In 1781, a pre-eminent dentist by the name of Dr. Jean-Pierre Le Mayeur escaped from British occupied New York City and passed through the nearby American lines. Le Mayeur had been providing dental services to Sir Henry Clinton, commander of the British forces in the region, and a host of other senior British officers. The French born Le Mayeur, disgusted by derogatory comments made by a British officer against the Franco-American alliance, decided he had had enough and packed up his dental tools and headed off to find the Americans. Once it was determined that Le Mayeur was sincere in his desire to serve the American cause, Washington eagerly sought out his services. The two eventually grew quite close and Le Mayeur was a frequent visitor to Mount Vernon in the years just after the close of the Revolutionary War.
Washington, who always treated his dental troubles as a state secret, was mortified to learn that a mail packet that included a personal letter requesting dental cleaning tools had been intercepted by the British. Washington's letter to his dentist pointed out that he had "little prospect of being in Philadelph. soon.." and that the tooth scrapers should be sent to him outside New York by mail.
When Sir Henry Clinton, commander of the British forces in North America, saw this personal letter he was convinced that the other official military correspondence within that same intercepted packet must be genuine. Even worse for Clinton and the British, the contents of the packet and Washington's claim that he would not be in Philadelphia anytime soon convinced the British high command in New York that the American and French forces encamped around New York City would not be marching south to threaten Lord Cornwallis' isolated command near Yorktown. What Clinton did not know was that Washington and Rochambeau had just planned out their movement south to trap Cornwallis at Yorktown. Clinton's failure to more rapidly reinforce or rescue Cornwallis led to the complete British defeat at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.
Learn More: The Yorktown Campaign of 1781
Aware of his failing dental health, George Washington retained several of his pulled teeth within a locked desk drawer at Mount Vernon. In a Christmas Day 1782 letter, Washington wrote to Lund Washington , his distant cousin and the temporary manager of Mount Vernon, requesting that the teeth be wrapped up and sent to him in Newburgh, New York. Washington hoped that these original teeth could be used within new dentures that were being fitted for his use.
"In a drawer in the Locker of the Desk which stands in my study you will find two small (fore) teeth; which I beg of you to wrap up carefully, and send inclosed [sic] in your next letter to me. I am positive I left them there, or in the secret drawer in the locker of the same desk."
Deep within one of Washington's account books is an entry which details Washington's purchase of 9 teeth from "Negroes" for 122 shillings. It's not clear if Washington intended to use these teeth as implants or within a new set of dentures or if he employed the teeth at all. While this transaction might seem morbid to a modern audience, purchasing human teeth was a fairly common practice in the 18th century for affluent individuals.

Despite all his attempts to save his remaining teeth, Washington was down to just one tooth at the time of his inauguration as the first President of the United States. This final survivor was finally pulled by Dr. John Greenwood in 1796 and Washington allowed his dentist to retain this famous tooth as a memento. Greenwood eventually had the tooth inserted into a small glass display that he hung from his watch chain.
As Washington's dental troubles became ever more severe, many artists and close observers began to notice significant changes in the shape of Washington's face. Paintings of Washington from later in his life all seem to show changes in the shape of his jaw and mouth.
Washington was very self-aware of the impact that ill-fitting dentures had on his appearance. In a 1797 letter to Dr. John Greenwood, Washington complained how his ill fitting dentures were "already too wide, and too projecting for the parts they rest upon; which causes both upper, and under lip to bulge out, as if swelled." In a separate letter the following year, Washington noted that another set of dentures had "the effect of forcing the lip out just under the nose."
Martha Washington evidently had a magnificent set of teeth, but she too later needed the use of a partial denture by the time of George Washington's second presidential term. In 1794 Martha wrote to request a new set of dentures.
"Mrs[.] Washington will be much obliged to Mr[.] Whitelock to make for her a set of teeth – to make them something bigger and thicker in the front and a small matter longer[.] She will be very glad if he will do them as those she has is almost broak [sic][.]"
Well aware of her husband's travails, Martha regularly urged her children and grandchildren to tend to the care of their teeth.

Many contemporaries and historians have postulated that Washington's constant dental woes greatly diminished the President's desire and ability to speak. Always sensitive about his appearance and comportment, Washington was no doubt self conscious about his dentures and the troublesome contraptions also made speaking more of a challenge.

Time to Plug Gaps in the Global Glacier Monitoring Network31/
Call Comes as UNEP and WGMS Release New Facts and Figures Report on Glaciers and Ice CapsGeneva/Zurich/Nairobi, 1 September 2008 – Monitoring of glaciers and ice caps in Central Asia, the Tropics and in the Polar Regions needs to be urgently stepped up, scientists and the United Nations said today.There is mounting evidence that climate change is triggering a shrinking and thinning of many glaciers world-wide which may eventually put at risk water supplies for hundreds of millions of people.But experts are warning that data gaps exist in some vulnerable parts of the globe undermining the ability to provide precise early warning for countries and populations at risk.Peter Gilruth, Director of the Division of Early Warning and Assessment (DEWA) of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and Wilfried Haeberli, Director of the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) today urged the international community to act."Excellent data stretching back through much of the 20th century exist for large parts of the world including Europe and North America. But the same cannot be said for some strategically important regions of the Tropics, Central Asia and the Polar Regions," they said. "Given the urgency of climate change and the need for scientifically-based adaptation strategies, it is now essential to re-initiate interrupted long-term series in strategically important regions. It is equally urgent to strengthen the monitoring network in those regions which at the moment have sparse coverage and to include the latest technologies such as high-resolution remote sensing to compliment the traditional field observations," said Mr Gilruth and Professor Haeberli.The call was made during the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—the scientific body established by UNEP and the World Meteorological Organisation to advise governments on global warming.Here UNEP and the WGMS released the report Global Glacier Changes: Facts and Figures. The report presents the latest fluctuations of glaciers and ice caps and underlines the overall trend of glaciers' retreat.Indeed the report confirms that the average annual melting rate of glaciers appears to have doubled after the turn of the millennium, with record losses posted in 2006 for a key network of reference sites.If the trend continues and governments fail to agree on deep and decisive emission reductions at the crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen in 2009, it is possible that glaciers may completely disappear from many mountain ranges in the 21st century.BackgroundGlaciers are recognised as impressive elements of the landscape – however, in particular they are a critical component of the earth' system and the current accelerated melting and retreat of glaciers have severe impacts on the environment and human well-being, including vegetation patterns, economic livelihoods, natural hazards, and the water and energy supply. By looking at glaciers or what is left of them, future generations will be able to discern clearly which climate scenario is being played out at the present time. The consequences of ice disappearance for landscape characteristics in high mountain areas will be felt at local to regional scales, while the changes in the water cycle will also affect continental-scale water supply and global-scale sea levels. Glacier monitoring - The internationally coordinated collection of information about glaciers began in 1894 and the efforts towards the compilation of a world glacier inventory have resulted in unprecedented data sets. For the second half of the 20th century, preliminary estimates of the global distribution of glaciers and ice caps covering some 685 000 km2 are available, including detailed information on about 100 000 glaciers, and digital outlines for about 62 000 glaciers.The database on glacier fluctuations includes 36 240 length change observations from 1803 glaciers as far back as the late 19th century, as well as about 3 400 annual mass balance measurements from 226 glaciers covering the past six decades. In 2006, a new record annual mass loss was measured on the reference glaciers under long-term observation. The average annual melting rate of mountain glaciers appears to have doubled after the turn of the millennium, in comparison with the already accelerated melting rates observed in the two decades before.The previous record loss in the year 1998 has already been exceeded three times, i.e., in the years 2003, 2004 and 2006, with the losses in 2004 and 2006 being almost twice as high as the previous 1998 record loss.Early measurements indicate strong ice losses as early as the 1940s and 1950s, followed by a moderate ice loss between 1966 and 1985, and accelerating ice losses until present.The global average annual mass loss of more than half a metre during the decade of 1996 to 2005 represents twice the ice loss of the previous decade (1986–95) and over four times the rate of the decade from 1976 to 1985. Prominent periods of regional mass gains are found in the Alps in the late 1970s and early 1980s and in coastal Scandinavia and New Zealand in the 1990s. Glaciers and climate - The overall shrinking of glaciers and ice caps since their maximum extents during the Little Ice Age is well correlated with the increase in global mean air temperature of about 0.75 °C since the mid 19th century, which is most likely human-induced for the most part, at least since the second half of the 20th century (IPCC 2007). On a scale of decades, glaciers in various regions have shown intermittent re-advances, possibly in response to precipitation changes (IPCC 2007).Under current IPCC climate scenarios, the ongoing trend of worldwide and rapid, if not accelerating, glacier shrinkage on the century time scale is most likely to be of a non-periodic nature, and may lead to the de-glaciation of large parts of many mountain ranges this century. New efforts needed - The rapid environmental changes highlighted in the new report released today require that the international glacier monitoring efforts make use of the swiftly developing new technologies, such as remote sensing and geo-informatics, and relate them to the more traditional field observations, in order to better face the monitoring challenges of the 21st century.Notes to EditorsThe full report including pictures and other resources can be found at http://www.grid.unep.org/glaciersThe publication was prepared in a joint project of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS).

Group: Forces of Nature
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Port-Goulphar, Belle-Isle
Date Made: 1886
Lender: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
Monet had never focused so exclusively on nature — without a trace of human presence — as he did in the thirty-six seascapes, which he painted in late 1886 at Belle-Ile, a storm-battered, granitic island off the coast of Brittany, and completed in his studio at Giverny over the next months. He was conscious that Brittany was more sombre in mood than his usual painting areas, and he used cooler colour schemes than usual, limiting himself to scales of blue and green, rather livid purple-reds, as well as dull yellow-greens and sullen pink-ochres.29 These colours have similarities to the blue dominants of many of Hiroshige's depictions of the sea (compare the tones and structure of Monet's Port-Goulphar, Belle-Ile and Hiroshige's Futami Bay in Ise Province.

Pacific Blue To Launch Flights Between Oz & Auckland11/02/2005
Virgin Blue's international carrier Pacific Blue recently notched up its first birthday and has marked the occasion by announcing plans to launch direct flights between Australia and Auckland on 12 May 2005.
The long anticipated announcement means that Pacific Blue will soon include one of the most popular NZ destinations in its route network, allowing Aussie travellers to take advantage of the low fares and great service that is synonymous with the low fare carrier.
The first services will take off between Brisbane - Auckland and Gold Coast - Auckland, in line with the airline's strategy of connecting key destinations between Australia and New Zealand.
Pacific Blue CEO, Tony Marks, said, "Over the past 12 months, we have established ourselves as a serious Trans Tasman player offering great value and a unique service and we have never been shy about giving traditional carriers a run for their money on our current routes to and from Christchurch and Wellington."
He continued, "Now we have carved out a successful position in these competitive markets, we are confident the time is right to turn our attention to answering the many calls we've had to launch Auckland services."
To celebrate the new services Pacific Blue has announced a sale fare of $79* (plus taxes, fees and surcharges from $79) . The fare is available for both Brisbane - Auckland and Gold Coast - Auckland services and is on sale from now until 27 February 2005 for travel between 12 May and 30 June 2005.
The addition of the new flights is expected to be widely welcomed by the tourism industry as well as travellers and will provide opportunities for the travel trade to package up Pacific Blue holidays for Australians and New Zealanders.
Tourism Auckland Chief Executive, Graeme Osborne, said the news is great for Auckland, "We are delighted Pacific Blue has recognised Auckland as New Zealand's most popular visitor destination.
"Nearly 40% of all international visitor nights in New Zealand are spent in the Auckland region and the average international visitor stay in Auckland is 10 nights - the longest of any region in the country.
"Tourism Auckland looks forward to working with Pacific Blue to ensure that even more visitors enjoy all that this region has to offer," he added.
Pacific Blue remains committed to being a long term player and will continue to consider other new routes domestically within New Zealand.
"I have little doubt that our competitors will respond to the Auckland announcement by increasing the number of services on key leisure routes in an attempt to maintain their stranglehold on the market. We will watch with amusement but will not be deterred from our mission to bring more competition across the Tasman," Tony Marks added.

The two sets of regulations most prominent to University activities are the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the Department of Commerce and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) administered by the Department of State. In addition, economic and trade embargoes and sanctions as administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) include restrictions that may affect University activities.
The EAR has been designed primarily to implement the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, 50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (EAA). From time to time, the President has exercised authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act with respect to the EAR (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (IEEPA)). The EAA is not permanent legislation, and when it has lapsed, Presidential executive orders under IEEPA have directed and authorized the continuation in force of the EAR. The ITAR is governed primarily by 22 U.S.C. 2778 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and Executive Order 11958, as amended.

I bought a "fixer". The bathroom is in need of floor work due to leaking toilet around the wax ring. When I removed the toilet and sub-floor I noticed some new wood from previous owner. I beleive the problem to be entirely related to the Flange height being too high. The wax ring was compressed to about 1/8". To finally get to my question - What height should the flange be in relation to the finished floor surface?

One of the great artists in film is focusing on one of the nation's most fascinating politicians.
Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is making a documentary on former president Bill Clinton for HBO, the network announced Monday.
Clinton will cooperate with the film that Scorsese will produce and direct.
The auteur of such film classics as Raging Bull (1980) and Goodfellas (1990), Scorsese finally won a Best Director Oscar for The Departed (2006).
From the Associated Press:
"The network (HBO) did not announce an anticipated airdate for the show on the nation's 42nd president, who was in office from 1993 to 2001.
"This year, HBO aired a documentary on Clinton's immediate predecessor, George H.W. Bush.
"Scorsese has earlier made the documentaries Public Speaking and George Harrison: Living in the Material World for HBO."
