At issue: Designation of parts of Lenawee County as "food deserts"
Our view: People need to think about how they obtain healthy food, and a county cooperative program may help.
It sounds odd to hear that parts of Adrian, Blissfield and Tecumseh are considered "food deserts." Surrounded by some of Michigan's most productive farmland, the communities' designation by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seems strange.
It takes more to put fresh food on the table than being agricultural, though, as a story about a grant program involving Lenawee County agencies shows. Parts of Adrian, Tecumseh and the Blissfield area were cited for reduced food access, along with 281 other areas in the state. The USDA website and maps can be found online at www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-desert-locator.aspx.
If nothing else, the "food desert" designations should change how people think about local nutrition and health. Older Americans can remember family gardens as routine. Trends since then have reduced most people's share of income spent for food, but they also have cut our fresh food and increased heavily processed items.
The road toward eating healthier foods has detours. Most locally grown commodities (corn, soybeans, etc.) are not intended for area dinner tables. Also, the loss of downtown grocers — The Pharm in Adrian as an example — makes shopping harder for many people. Having a healthy food retail outlet within one mile in urban settings (those with at least 2,500 residents) is part of food access. Other factors include area poverty rates, housing units without a vehicle and the percentage of young children or older adults.
Bringing fresh foods to people who would otherwise avoid carrying bags of produce home on foot or a bus is one goal of the Lenawee project. A $66,000 grant was awarded to ProMedica through the USDA Farmers Market Promotion Program to buy and operate a "veggie mobile" for two years. Seven local produce providers are working with the Lenawee Health Network to provide the produce, and will be donating it for the first few months to get the program rolling. Another $5,000 grant will promote the Adrian Farmers Market.
There is potential gain for everyone. Many consumers who might never consider vegetables such as fresh squash will have better access. Farmers will expand their markets and, we hope, Lenawee County may eventually benefit from lower obesity rates and better overall health.
Moving certain county areas from desert to oasis, though, will be a long process. It can only happen if people change behavior toward buying, preparing and eating fresh food and passing along those habits to children.
Even that would only be one item toward what's needed to improve county health. Increasing exercise, improving primary medical care and reducing poverty, smoking and substance abuse also are factors.
Talking about the challenge is the first step. ProMedica and the Lenawee Health Network deserve credit for helping us recognize that all of us have a role in moving produce from those farms to our plates.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The UC Santa Barbara men's basketball team will host an open practice for all season ticket holders and fans in general on Saturday, Oct. 26 beginning at 2:00 p.m. in the Thunderdome.
Following the conclusion of the actual practice, at approximately 3:00 p.m., the Gaucho players will change into game-day uniforms and then they and the coaches will be introduced to everyone in attendance.
After introductions, players and coaches will address the crowd and then break up into two stations, one for autographs and one where fans can have their picture taken with their favorite Gauchos. The players will then switch places so that every member of the team will be available for both autographs and pictures.
At the end of the festivities there will be a drawing for prizes.
"This is a great opportunity for our fans to get up-close and meet some of the outstanding young student-athletes that we have in our program," said head coach Bob Williams. "It's an exciting time of year and we really look forward to kicking things off with our fans."
Among the players in attendance at the open practice will be junior center Alan Williams who averaged 17.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game in 2012-13. He was a First Team All-Big West choice last season and has already been given several honors this year, including First Team Lou Henson Mid-Major All-American and Preseason All-Big West.
In addition to Williams, UCSB also returns numerous other key players, including senior guard Kyle Boswell, the reigning Big West Sixth Man of the Year who averaged 13.0 points per game and made 78 three-point baskets. A pair of sophomore wings, Taran Brown and Michael Bryson, each had outstanding moments last season. Brown averaged 11.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while making a freshman record 58 three-point baskets. Bryson averaged 8.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game and set a Gaucho record for points by a freshman when he poured in 29 against Pacific in the Big West Tournament.
UCSB will also add swingman John Green to the mix. One of the most talented players on the team, Green has missed the last two seasons with injuries, but is practicing at full strength. Another talented player, guard Aamahd Walker, redshirted the 2012-13 season but is in the mix for playing time in the backcourt in 2013-14.
Additionally, the Gauchos have added two outstanding point guards. UCSB will look to junior Zalmico Harmon and freshman Eric Childress to run the show this season. Harmon was the Western State Conference Player of the Year at Ventura College in 2013 and Childress was a First Team All-CIF selection out of Leuzinger High School.
UCSB will tipoff the 2013-14 season on Sunday, Nov. 3 when it hosts Cal State East Bay in an exhibition game that will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the Thunderdome.
Great season ticket packages are available for the Gauchos. The non-conference schedule includes Cal, which will be making its first appearance in Santa Barbara since it helped christen the Thunderdome in 1979, as well as old rival Utah State and 2013 NCAA Tournament participant South Dakota State.

Pau Gasol was inserted back into the starting lineup and recorded 22 points and 12 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Lakers continue their dominance over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 111-100 victory at Target Center.
Even with All-Star center Dwight Howard back in Los Angeles to have treatment done on his ailing right shoulder, the Lakers raced out to an early lead and held on to snap an eight-game road skid and earn their 20th straight win over the Timberwolves.
Kobe Bryant nearly posted a triple-double with 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, while Antawn Jamison and Steve Nash chipped in 18 and 17 points, respectively, for the victors.
The Lakers dropped the opener of their seven-game road trip on Wednesday after squandering a late double-digit lead to the Suns. They saw a 29-point cushion dip to four midway through the fourth quarter Friday before pulling away for their fourth win in five games.
"We knew they were going to make a run," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said of his team nearly squandering another double-digit lead. "We helped them out by not attacking the zone very well, but I'm happy. We just got a good win."
Alexey Shved had 18 points to pace the Timberwolves, losers of six straight.
The Lakers led by as many as 29 in the first half, but made just 16 percent (3-of-19) from the floor in the third quarter to allow the Timberwolves back in it. Minnesota cut its 68-53 halftime deficit to nine, 85-76, entering the fourth.
A Shved 3-pointer had Minnesota as close as four, 94-90, but Gasol answered at the other end with a three-point play off a nice pass from Bryant. After a Chris Johnson bucket made it a five-point game, Gasol and Jamison scored on consecutive possessions around a J.J. Barea miss, and the visitors held on over the final four minutes.
Gasol, in the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 20, had 13 points in a lopsided first quarter that featured the Lakers shooting a torrid 72 percent (21-of-29) from the field. Earl Clark added 11 in the frame, which ended with the visitors holding a 37-24 advantage.
"They just knocked down a lot of shots," Timberwolves forward Derrick Williams said of the Lakers. "It's pick your poison with them."
The margin reached its high point at 61-32 midway through the second quarter when Nash finished off a 20-1 flurry with one of LA's five 3-pointers during the four-minute stretch.
Game Notes
The Lakers earned their first road win since win Dec. 22 against the Warriors ... Clark chipped in 13 points and 10 rebounds for LA, which held a commanding 57-40 edge on the glass ... Williams totaled 15 points and nine rebounds for Minnesota, which has not beaten the Lakers since March 6, 2007.

Congressional Republican leaders have put increased revenues on the table as a possible "fiscal cliff" compromise. What have ObamaCrats put on the table? Stale old baloney left over from the campaign.
They've hauled out campaign slogans like "Middle Class Over the Rich," "End Bush Tax Cuts for the Wealthy," and "Make Millionaires and Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share." Such propaganda helped Obama win a second term. But it won't address trillion-dollar annual deficits and a $16-trillion-and-mounting national debt.
For sure, there are Tea Party Republicans who are dead-set against any tax hikes and seem to view fiscal catastrophe as preferable to compromise. They demand unspecified massive spending cuts and are seemingly indifferent to the real-word consequences. But they are widely condemned for their mulish obstructionism and rightly so. ObamaCrats tend to get a free pass on their own obstructionism.
GOP leaders on Capitol Hill have suggested possible compromise revenue increases by curbing tax deductions at the top income levels, rather than a hike in tax rates. (Either way, the rich would be forking over more dollars to the IRS.) Capping upper-income deductions at $17,000, for example — as Mitt Romney proposed — would generate $1.3 trillion of addition tax revenue over 10 years, according to the calculations of the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Brookings Institution and Urban Institute, two liberal-leaning think tanks. Raising capital gains and income tax rates on the upper brackets, as Obama insists, would yield $823 billion over 10 years, according to Congress' Joint Tax Committee.
In other words, the Obama proposal would generate $82 billion more a year while the administration's own budget projections forecast annual deficits exceeding or approaching $1 trillion a year over the coming 10 years. A trillion is a thousand billions. So $82 billion more a year from the rich obviously won't bridge a $1-trillion-a-year budget gap. The Obama approach would raise only about seven and a half cents on the dollar in addressing annual deficits. And these are what economists call "static" calculations. That is, they assumed the tax hike would have no impact on the economy and that the rich would take no counter-measures to keep the IRS at bay.
Yes, Obama succeeded in winning the election. But in doing so he didn't succeed in repealing the laws of mathematics. Catchy sloganeering and villainizing the rich won't fill a depleted treasury.

One of the worst workplace bully tales ever heard
Saturday, April 26th, 2014
Chris Gelineau, a manager at Interstate Battery System in Taylor, Michigan, gave us an example of cruel, sadistic behavior. Of the over 10,000 stories we've heard at the Workplace Bullying Institute, Gelineau's actions — staging a robbery to scare his employee — is unprecedented. Read on….
Workplace Holdup Prank Ends in a $25,000 Lawsuit
By Robert Allen, Detroit Free Press, April 25, 2014
When two men in hoodies entered a Detroit auto parts store and frisked him against a wall, 24-year-old Justin Orman of Lincoln Park thought it was an armed robbery.
It turned out to be a prank arranged by his boss.
Orman was working for Interstate Battery System in Taylor when his boss sent him to pick up inventory and payments at Dealer Used Auto Parts on Grand River Avenue, according to a lawsuit filed April 14 in Wayne County Circuit Court seeking more than $25,000 in damages.

SANTA FE — State Sen. Pat Woods, who took office in late October, says he has packed a lifetime of lessons into the last eight months.
Woods, 63, has dyslexia, but it has not stopped him from being a voracious reader. Eva, his wife of 41 years, says he pores over books and newspapers each night, retaining incredible amounts of information.
But, Woods says, he has a hard time speaking in public because of his dyslexia. Words that ought to flow simply and naturally become cluttered in his mind when he is in front of an audience.
His sons, Toby and Charlie, had such severe dyslexia that Eva says they were below-par readers in third grade. One of Martinez's legislative initiatives is state-mandated retention of thousands of third-graders who read poorly.
The Woods kids forged ahead instead of being retained. Through study and plenty of help at home, both graduated from college.
Toby taught high school math before becoming manager of the family's 100-year-old farm. Charlie is an electrical engineer in Denver.
"Early childhood intervention is the secret" to kids becoming proficient readers, Woods said.

It's likely that the next president will face at least one Supreme Court vacancy. Obama should promise Hillary Clinton, now, that if he wins in November, the vacancy will be hers, making her first on a list of one.How could Hillary Clinton possibly be considered an appropriate Supreme Court nominee?
Obama could ... appreciate Clinton's undeniably keen mind. Even Clinton detractors have noted her remarkable mental skills; she would be equal to any legal or intellectual challenge she would face as a justice. The fact that she hasn't served on a bench before would be inconsequential, considering her experience in law and in government.Now, why did WaPo publish this? Miller was a special assistant to Senate Majority Leader Howard H. Baker Jr. and he has a book about the Senate, but he sounds like a complete fool here. His notion that Hillary Clinton belongs on the Supreme Court is just: Everybody seems to think she's pretty smart. And it doesn't even matter that she has no judicial experience and has never done anything to indicate that she is any sort of a legal scholar or has anything like a judicial temperament.
If Obama were to promise Clinton the first court vacancy, her supporters would actually have a stronger incentive to support him for president than they would if she were going to be vice president.No, they wouldn't! They'd think that Obama shouldn't be trusted with the responsibility of appointing federal judges.
Instead of subjecting herself to a long wait and another possible defeat, [Hillary] could don one of those roomy black robes, make a potentially ineradicable impact on the course of the republic -- and never again have to worry about being liked."Roomy black robes" — is he calling her fat?
Senate confirmation would be all but certain, even putting aside the gains that Democrats are likely to make in November.Why not just beg people to vote for McCain? The Senate is going to rubber-stamp whatever unqualified, politicized judicial nominations a President Obama would send its way? Well, then, we must have the opposite party in the White House!
President Obama would engender praise (at least from Democrats) at the prospect of Hillary going toe to toe with Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito. Clinton's gumption and determination might make her one of the most powerful forces ever on the court, particularly when it comes to swaying other justices when the court is closely divided.Miller thrills at the prospect of law as a raw political battle. Democrats who respect the rule of law and want rights to be taken seriously should not cheer at that spectacle. And conservatives will once again get strong traction arguing — as McCain did the other day — that their judges are the ones who are faithfully subservient to the law. I know liberals don't believe that, but they must present themselves as wanting judges who bring legitimate interpretative skill and diligence to their task and operate independently from politics. Or all is lost.

"I had a box of pears that had become overripe. I made a double recipe of the sorbet to try and use them up.The flavor is fantastic. I used a Riesling for the wine, which wasn't as sweet as I had planned. I like it anyway. I'd like to try it again with some other German white wines."

My godson is 4 years old. A couple of years ago when he got old enough to want non-practical presents (toys for him rather than helpful things for mom and dad) I decided that I didn't want to participate in feeding his consumerist mentality. I'd made the same decision many years ago with my adult friends as well. Instead I wanted to be a role model in his life for real gifting - from the heart. I give him my time – play with him, special trips with him, talking to him, and occasionally something I make for him. I want to give him the kinds of gifts that will build a connection between us and help him understand that the best gifts are not physical, edible, or playable.
Last year his parents bought him a couple of gerbils. Gerbils love to eat the cardboard toilet paper rolls and they told me they just didn't go through enough of them by themselves. I dutifully started saving mine.
Tonight I went by their house to visit them there for the first time in a while. I brought with me a full grocery bag of toilet paper rolls (yes several months worth). Just before I left I told my godson that I "had something for him." Immediately he wanted to know what it was…ice cream, cake, cookies, candy…nope. I had him come out to the car with me and asked him what his gerbils liked to play with. When he couldn't remember I showed him one of the rolls and then the whole bag. As any 4 year old would be he was disappointed and wanted to know how that was a "present for him". I reminded him that I didn't say I had a "present" for him and that not all gifts are candy and sugar.
By the time we got back in the house he was beaming and gleefully showed the bag to his parents. A few minutes later as I was getting ready to leave he said "I have something for you too" and walked into the kitchen. When he came back he had in his hand - cheese! A few moments later when I was standing at the door he put something in my hand and said "This is a ticket for being nice." The item was a crumpled edge of a piece of paper pulled from a spiral notebook! I promised him I would save it and gladly added it to my altar of special items when I returned home.
I know he's not really old enough to understand this concept yet…but he's definitely starting to get the difference!
What are your experiences with spreading the concepts you learn at Burning Man?

DECA Drive
ST. MARYS — Local students are doing their part to help others this holiday season through an annual community project.
DECA — or Distributive Education Clubs of America — students at Memorial High School are currently holding their Goodfellows drive, where the students put out decorated cans in local businesses to collect money to purchase toys for those in need.
"DECA was doing this project before I came to St. Marys, and we've continued it every year since," adviser Heidi Lisi said. "We do this as one of our community service projects every year."
DECA, which is made up of junior and senior high school students, starts the project by picking businesses.
"Each junior or senior selects a business, and they talk to them about putting a can in their business," Lisi said. "It's their responsibility to check the can a couple times a week and to turn in the money on a regular basis."
This year, there are 43 DECA members.
"So we have donation cans all over the place," Lisi said.
She noted the donation cans had to be out to each business before Thanksgiving, and they will be collected by Dec. 16.
"A lot of students put them out at the businesses where they work, where their parents work or ones that are close to their house, somewhere convenient so they can check on it," Lisi said.
The local DECA chapter will also donate some of its funds toward the project.
"Once all of our donations are collected, we also donate some money from our chapter funds," Lisi said.
From there, the students will divide into groups, and each group is given an age range and a gender of a child.
"We usually go to Kmart and purchase as many toys as possible," Lisi said. "Each group has a budget based on the amount of money we collected and so each group can find as many toys as possible for their age range."
The students will also transport the toys they purchased to give to the Goodfellows.
"After we go on our shopping trip, we take them to the armory," Lisi said. "We have a lot of students who also volunteer to help wrap, sort or deliver the gifts."
For the last few years, Lisi noted, the students have been able to purchase $1,000 worth of toys for children.
"We hope to do at least that or more this year," she said.
As of Tuesday morning, Lisi noted the group has raised $340, with money still left to come in.
Donation cans can be found around town at the following businesses: The Hair Line, Shell on 703, Subway on 703, The Shoe Department, Minster Bank, Julie's Hair, People's Bank, Ace Hardware, Lee's Famous Recipe, Chase Bank, The Buzz, Kate's Kitchen, Style Salon, Lost in the 50s Diner, Pizza Hut, Auglaize Erie Machine, First Financial Bank, Subway at the Shell station off 29, Cools Locker Room Pizza and Subs, Bronze Body Tanning, C&C Loft and Lounge, Rustic Haven, Maurice's, Schwieterman Pharmacy, J.C. Penney, Marathon/Villa Nova Pizza, JB Pastries, Guarnieri's Pizzeria, Dairy Queen, Spring Street Coffee House, West Bank Inn, Kroger, St. Marys Eagles, The Outdoorsman, TSC Telephone Company, Pantry Pride, Generations Cafe, Varsity Lanes, La Piazza, Albert's Sporting Goods, Marathon on South Street and at the DECA Depot at the high school.

Monday's lead editorial regarding Beverly Scott, the newly selected director of the MBTA, and the same day's Metro story about Sheila Burgess, who was removed as highway safety chief, not only "raise questions for MassDOT" and the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security; they call into question the way in which the Patrick administration goes about filling top positions.
It certainly seems as if the governor made it clear that he wanted Scott to run the T, and put a damper on taking the best professional steps to select her. With respect to Burgess, it is beyond belief that no one could have checked her out before they gave her the highway safety job. Both cases are symptoms of patronage without professionalism.
In Burgess's case, for Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray to say that he does not know her and that she never worked for him when her sister and business partner was one of his fund-raising consultants is laughable, and strikes me as another example of why Murray should not be considered a serious candidate for governor.
The writer was personnel administrator of the Commonwealth from 1991 to 1995.

This follows the recent completion of post-tensioning activities (internal strengthening of the structure through tensioning of supportive steel bands) and grouting of all internal ducts, the last steps in the process to complete the structural elements of the 584-linear foot, $18.6 million rail bridge.
"The bridge can now stand on its own," said construction authority CEO Habib Balian. "This is an important milestone in our progress to complete the bridge and we commend Skanska USA for their hard work and ability to meet the project deadlines while providing excellent craftsmanship."
With the structure now fully secure on its own, the temporary support structure will now be removed. The "falsework," which was installed in a series of nighttime closures in February and March 2012, has supported the bridge while under construction. Up to 20 nighttime closures of the eastbound I-210 Freeway will take place over the next six weeks to safely remove this temporary structure.
"The removal of the falsework is even more challenging than the installation," said Balian. "When Skanska installed the support structure there was nothing around. Now they need to work around the bridge, as well as over an active freeway."
The bridge is on schedule to be completed in December 2012. Work to be completed on the bridge includes: concrete placement for the barrier walls on either side of the deck, building retaining walls on the ingress and egress to the bridge, landscaping and lighting. In December, the bridge will be turned over to the construction authority and work will begin to add the utilities, track and other light-rail features.

This site serves to document the ant collection trip that I made to the
Area de Conservacion de Guanacaste (ACG) in November and December 2011. Find out about other ACG collection trips in 2010, February and December 2011; February, May and December 2012, in March 2013, as well as other related work in French Guiana, Algonquin Park and close to my institution in Guelph, Ontario.
I am a molecular ecologist, based at the University of Guelph in Ontario Canada, and interested in tracking how ACG ant communities change here with elevation, temperature and time. I have been following this across three volcanoes in Guanacaste Province (Cacao, Rincon de la Vieja and Orosi) since 2008. My hope and intent is to continue this monitoring for the long term.
The ACG, is a 163,000 hectare national park in northwestern Costa Rica. It extends from 6 km out in the Pacific to 2,000 m at the top Volcan Rincon de la Vieja and down into the Atlantic lowland rain forest. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ACG is home to more than 325,000 species of plants and animals (2.6% of the world's biodiversity) and has grown dramatically from a 10K acre national park (formalised in 1971) to a global example of tropical biodiversity conservation, dependent upon, and inserted within, the development and economy of the local people. If you are interested in more information on the ACG, please visit the Guanacaste Dry Forest Fund website. At the bottom of that page you'll find a button to donate to the ACG. "Every penny donated to GDFCF goes to forest purchase to expand ACG" - a very worthwhile investment!
I use a standardized collection protocol to help me understand the ant species diversity at each locality. The ants I collect are databased, mounted, photographed and DNA barcoded in an attempt to measure community change with elevation, with volcano and with time. "Time" is particularly important, as the peaks of the volcanoes are drier and warmer than they have been - and I am very interested in documenting and testing who is arriving and what happens upon these arrivals!
At each site I record the habitat using a GigaPan robot. Since 2008, I've been part of the Fine Fellows group testing and experimenting with uses of the GigaPan. This remarkable piece of equipment consists of three technological developments: 1) A robotic camera mount for capturing very high-resolution (gigapixel and up) panoramic images using a standard digital camera; 2) Custom software for constructing very high-resolution gigapixel panoramas; and 3) A new type of website for exploring, sharing and commenting on gigapixel panoramas and the detail users will discover within them. On this site I've embedded GigaPans from each locality. Their names link to the full view of each panorama at the GigaPan website, and there are also links to the panorama displayed on a proper sphere using the GoogleEarth browser plug-in.
Here's an example from 1,500 in the cloud forest of Volcan Cacao
Since testing out the DinoLite AMK4012-C200 digital field microscope in 2010 it has become a necessary part of my field gear. I continue to be charmed and amazed at what this tool adds to my field work. As in each collection trip, I've moved the results directly to You-Tube. Have a look!
Check out each the field notes and thoughts for each day's entry on the Journal/Blog section for GigaPans, videos and more!
My work in the ACG is funded by a Discovery Grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

Raccoon trained to steal? Houston Zoo says they're smart, but ...
Updated 4:08 pm, Friday, August 2, 2013
Florida police have a description of the bandit, who was wearing a mask when she struck, but the motive remains a mystery.
A woman recently brought her kids to witness a sea turtle named Tampa Red being released at Bunche Beach in Fort Myers, WZVN News reported.
While she was in the water, a fleet-footed raccoon seized the moment and swiped her bright pink clutch wallet from inside her beach bag. A boy recovered the wallet shortly afterward when the animal dropped it behind some bushes.
The mom shared her theory of the whodunit to WZVN ABC News-7 in Fort Myers.
"It was a trained raccoon to go steal money or wallets out of women's bags, that was the theory we came up with at the beach," she said.
Closer to home in Houston, Kim Shotola works with raccoons as supervisor of the Children's Zoo at the Houston Zoo, and doesn't believe a sinister motive was at play. The zoo has one raccoon resident, Adrian, who is "highly intelligent."
"She knows over 30 different behaviors," Shotola said. "She waves, she claps, will turn around in a circle and if you tell her to scratch, she'll scratch. She can pick up things, wave with her hand and can even paint with a paint brush. It's (artwork) neat ... kind of eclectic."
Shotola theorizes that the Florida raccoon was looking for food when she spotted the beach bag, and decided to take a peek inside. Based on the news clip, the animal appeared to be a nursing mother.
While raccoons usually forage at dusk and dawn, the beach bandit's maternal instincts could have brought her out during the day - even with a crowd of humans close by. "She definitely looks like she had babies and was probably hungry."
"Maybe she thought there was food in there and pulled something out it could grab easily," Shotola said. "Food and family are top motivators for these guys."

Scottsdale, Airzona (PRWEB) January 18, 2013
Nationally known entrepreneur John Scherer says he learned a long time ago to listen to what consumers have to say.
In a recent interview, the CEO and Founder of the 02 Hurricane Canless Air System, said, "Our original design was for industrial use for IT professionals, the cleaning and dusting of delicate electronics using our pure air concept instead of dangerous canned air. We knew companies were starting to eliminate canned air because of health, environmental and cost issues. Companies like Raytheon and States like Alaska are eliminating dangerous canned air for the 02 Hurricane Canless Air System."
But when Scherer started hearing about the innovative uses for his product in the home is when he introduced a second model."We have people using the 02 Hurricane in the home to dust plants and collectables, inflate pool toys, clean and dust blinds, kick-start wood fires and the list just keeps growing All using just pure air.
What makes the 02 Hurricane safe for home and business is that it uses pure air, drawn in from the room and blasted out with hurricane-force. Because it's rechargeable up to 500 times there is no hazardous waste.
"It's safe for the entire family," Scherer says. "We hear from parents telling us their kids love to use the Hurricane for blowing toy cars across the room and yes, even cleaning and dusting their own rooms." One of the major dangers of canned air products and children is dangerous and even deadly Huffing, which is the inhaling of the dangerous gasses and liquids inside those canned air products.
"How on earth they can call it "air" is beyond me," says Scherer. "Just read the label and it's a list of chemicals, gasses and liquids with warnings taking up the whole can. I'm surprised they have space to put their logo on the darn things."
The version designed for home use blasts air at about 160 mph. The industrial version, designed for heavy use blows air in excess of 200 miles per hour.
The bottom line Scherer says, "Is families and businesses now have a choice along with an alternative to the dangerous canned air products they've been using up until now. A product that saves them money, is totally safe for families, employees in the workplace and the environment.
The 02 Hurricane is receiving consistent and enthusiastic reviews from business columnists to tech reviewers.
The 02 Hurricane is assembled in the USA at its facility in Tucson, Arizona with company headquarters in Scottsdale.

I have a few Winston BIIx and BIIIx 4 weights. I bought the BIIIx this year in 8'6" (4) weight and believe its one of the greatest rods made. The BIIx in the same weight and length is also great but the BIIIx is a bit stiffer in the butt section which equals more casting power with less effort. I would not hesitate a BIIIx purchase. Plenty of power and you can cast dries and weighted flies with this rod all day long. The 8'0 Winston BIIx is also a gem for smaller dry fly work.

Well I had the opportunity to play with the Biiix in a 9 ft 4 wt over the weekend and loved it. I think it'll be a great dry fly rod that can also handle small nymph work and some streamer work. I broke down and got one. Figured i'd post this here given that I was the OP in this thread.

Though he seemed to give every indication all week that he was ready to go and eager to play, Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is not expected to play Sunday against the Bills, according to a report on NFL Network.
If he is not in uniform, it will be the second straight game and fifth this season that Hernandez has missed because of a sprained ankle suffered early in a Week 2 loss to Arizona.
He returned against Seattle and played 38 snaps, then saw his workload increase the next week against the Jets to 57 snaps. Hernandez was supposed to be brought back slowly, and the workload likely set him back.
Concerns over his ability to cut led to the Patriots keeping him home while the team went to London to face the Rams so he could continue to rehab.
Coming off their bye, which gave Hernandez more time to recover, the Patriots held four practices last week. Hernandez did not practice Tuesday to be present for the birth of his daughter, but he did practice Wednesday through Friday.
The team reported his participation as limited. He is officially listed as questionable for the game.
At practice Wednesday, Hernandez and the rest of the tight ends were doing drills near reporters and he made sure they took notice of how well he was moving.
On Thursday, he wore a white game jersey, not the standard white practice jersey. When asked why, he smiled and said, "Game time!"
The Patriots can certainly win without Hernandez against Buffalo.
They also will have still another tight end available: On Saturday, the team activated Visanthe Shiancoe off the injured reserve list. Shiancoe was the player New England designated for return off of IR, meaning he couldn't practice for six weeks after being added to the list, then could practice for two weeks before the team was able to add him to its 53-man roster.
Since New England receives a roster exemption because of Brandon Bolden's suspension, it did not have to make a move to add Shiancoe.
Gregory eager
Safety Steve Gregory suffered a hip injury the last time the Patriots played the Bills. When Buffalo visits Gillette Stadium for Round 2, Gregory could be back on the field.
"I'm real anxious," Gregory said. "It's not fun to sit on the couch and watch the guys out there playing, so I'm real anxious to get out there and play."
The former Charger, one of the first free agents New England signed last March, recorded 14 tackles, an interception, and a pass breakup in three-plus games before being hurt.
A healthy Gregory and fellow safety Patrick Chung plus next week's addition of Aqib Talib will provide depth to the secondary, which has struggled this season.
Questions on line
Former Patriot Mark Anderson (knee) has been declared out for Buffalo, and the Bills have three other defensive linemen listed as questionable: Chris Kelsay (neck), Shawne Merriman (chest), and Spencer Johnson (ankle). Kelsay was not able to finish practice Thursday and did not practice Friday. Buffalo coach Chan Gailey made it sound as though Kelsay will be a game-time decision. "It's not major, but I don't know if he can get ready for this week," Gailey said Friday.Shalise Manza Young can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @shalisemyoung.

#1 When Is Obama, Holder, And Sharpton Going To Weigh In On This?08-23-2014, 11:16 AM
The man accused of gunning down a Livingston teenager in his car earlier this summer told investigators the murder was an act of retribution for U.S. military action against Muslims in the Middle East.
According to court documents filed Wednesday in Washington state, where he is accused of killing three other men, Ali Muhammad Brown said he considered it his mission to murder 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as an act of vengeance for innocent lives lost in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran.
All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life, he told detectives, according to the documents.
Brown, 29, also confessed to killing the other men, all of whom, like Tevlin, were shot multiple times in isolated areas late at night. He described the murder as a just kill carried out against an adult male who was not in the company of any women, children or elderly persons, court papers said.
Prosecutors say Brown is a devout Muslim who had become angered by U.S. military intervention in the Islamic world, which he referred to as evil. He also referred to drug use as inherently evil.
During the interview Brown also stated that, as part of his beliefs, if a man sees evil then he must take action against that evil, according to court papers.
Essex County authorities have characterized Tevlins June 25 murder as a robbery that turned violent when Brown fired 10 shots into the popular college students vehicle, which was stopped at a red light at the corner of Walker Road and Northfield Avenue in West Orange.
So the perp calls it an act of jihad but the authorities are calling it a robbery gone bad. UFBThe American Left: Where everything is politics and politics is everything.
08-23-2014, 11:25 AMBrown is also charged with gunning down two Seattle men, Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young, on June 1. Authorities say he had met Said through a hook-up app aimed at gay men, and met them at a nightclub before shooting them.

Another reason for the MSM to keep this story on the downlow.
Nope, Obama, Holder, Sharpton, et al are too blinded by the killer's "natural tan".Facts don't matter to DUpipo.

"Even if Trump didn't pay Russian hookers to pee on one another to defile a bed the Obamas once slept on it sounds like something he would do and that's all that matters." DemocratSinceBirth, Wed Jan 11, 2017, 09:32 AM

What did this teenager do besides drug use? Obviously, he wasn't a member of the military. I'm not getting this.
08-23-2014, 07:39 PMIt's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.

I think all of us agree that we're seeing a moral collapse around us, not just of our nation, but all around the world.
Recently, however, along the shores of Lake Michigan and later in the shadows of the great Rocky Mountains, I watched as tens of thousands of young people gathered on two weekends for a purpose—to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ in music, in testimony, and in the preaching of God's Word.
I had an opportunity to preach and extend the invitation multiple times. Each time, we saw hundreds repenting of their sins, confessing Christ as their Savior, and wanting to follow Him as their Lord. They "were redeemed from [their] empty way of life" (1 Peter 1:18, NIV) as they gave their hearts and lives to Jesus.
This happened only because of Holy Spirit power working through the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on the cross for our sins, died, was buried, and was then resurrected to life. I can't explain it—I only know that when God's Gospel is preached, "it will not return … empty, but will accomplish what [God desires] and achieve the purpose for which [He] sent it" (Isaiah 55:11).
As I write this letter, my son Will is in the U.K. preparing to preach just outside London. I have been asked to come in 2013 to hold a major evangelistic event in London. The churches are wanting us to come and help.
If you watched the news recently, you saw youth mobs—teens and young adults who clearly don't know right from wrong—rampage through the streets of London, burning cars, looting shops, and terrorizing neighborhoods.
The unruly, violent street riots clearly exposed the corrupt moral and spiritual state of young people in England today. Prime Minister David Cameron called the four days of savagery "a slow-motion moral collapse." One secular British journalist identified the unrest as a spiritual problem that requires a biblical answer. She is absolutely right.
In a column for the Daily Mail, England's second-largest newspaper, she wrote: "Repairing this terrible damage also means, dare I say it, a return to the energetic transmission of Biblical morality. When church leaders stop prattling like soft-headed social workers and start preaching once again the moral concepts that underlie our civilization, then—and only then—will we start to get to grips with this terrible problem."
The problem is hardly limited to England. Recently in Philadelphia and several other U.S. cities, young people have used social media to form flash mobs that descended upon businesses and citizens with gang-like thuggery. And across America we see many other alarming evidences of the increasing ungodliness of our culture.
I am not surprised by any of this—but neither am I despairing. I believe with all my heart that "the gospel … is the power of God that brings salvation" (Romans 1:16). I believe in the transforming power of that Gospel that turns us from our wicked ways and makes us new creatures in Christ. I believe in the power of prevailing prayer, that God listens and responds to the pleas of His people as they repent of their sins and put their trust in Him (see 2 Chronicles 7:14).
What we saw in Milwaukee and Denver gives hope. Many people whose lives have been caught up in our nation's moral decay, dragged down by the hurt and hopelessness of sin, were set free through Jesus Christ who came to earth "to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45).
A young single mother, who was hooked on heroin and had contemplated suicide, was under house arrest in Milwaukee for stealing things to sell for her drug habit. A Christian friend helped arrange a day pass that allowed her to bring her two young children to KidzFest, the Saturday morning children's evangelistic event we held in each city.
As she listened with her children to the simple message of the Gospel, she became anxious and wanted to leave. The friend who had invited her persuaded her to stay a little longer for the kids' sake. When the invitation was given, both her little boy and her little girl wanted to respond, and their mother finally agreed to walk with them to the counseling area.
The counselor who greeted the three of them noticed the mother begin to cry, and quietly pulled in two other counselors to help. Before the morning ended, the troubled mother called on the Lord for forgiveness of her sins and asked Him to change her life. Each of the three individually prayed to receive Christ.
A man named Doug had been addicted to methamphetamine. He lost everything he owned as well as his job, but was finally clean of drug use. His mother brought him to Rock the Range to enjoy the music, and during the afternoon as the bands played, two different people shared with him about the power of the Gospel to change a life. He said he wasn't ready. One of them urged him to listen closely to the message when it was time for me to speak. He did, and the Holy Spirit opened his heart to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Pray for these and many others who heard the truth and responded.
Please also pray for those God drew to Himself across the Prairies of Canada at a Rock the River evangelistic event in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
In late October I am leading an evangelistic Festival in the Baltic nation of Lithuania, and another a few weeks later in Hyderabad, India. Soon after that we will take the My Hope evangelistic project across the African nation of Zambia and, for the first time ever, to two nations in Europe—Spain and Portugal.
We need your prayers. God is at work. Your gift this month can be a catalyst for reaching hearts and transforming lives, bringing results that will last forever.
May God bless you,
Franklin Graham,
