Revision as of 18:53, July 17, 2008
The National Cub Scouting Character Connections Program was introduced in 2002. The key elements of the program are 12 core values, several of which relate directly to points in the Scout Law. The character-building process is called Character Connections, which connects the values to the activities and advancement of Cub and Webelos Scouts.
The Cub Scouting Character Connections Program identifies 12 core values which are incorporated into the advancement requirements for the Tiger Cub, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light ranks, as well as the Webelos Activity Badges.
Boys are encouraged to "KNOW," "COMMIT," and "PRACTICE" each Core Value as follows:
Contributing service and showing responsibility to local, state, and national communities. (Related requirements: Tiger Cub: 2 - Where I Live, Bear: 3j - What Makes America Special, Webelos: Citizen Activity Badge)
Being kind and considerate, and showing concern for the well-being of others. (Related requirement: Bear: 24f - Be a Leader)
Being helpful and working together with others toward a common goal. (Related requirement: Wolf: 10a - Family Fun)
Being brave and doing what is right regardless of our fears, the difficulties, or the consequences. (Related requirements: Wolf: 12a - Making Choices, Bear: 11g - Be Ready, Webelos: Readyman Activity Badge)
Having inner strength and confidence based on our trust in God. (Related requirements: Tiger Cub: 5 - Let's Go Outdoors, Wolf: 11a - Duty to God, Bear: 1a - Ways We Worship, Webelos: 8 - Faith)
Health and Fitness
Being personally committed to keeping our minds and bodies clean and fit. (Related requirements: Tiger Cub: 3 - Keeping Myself Healthy and Safe, Webelos: Health and Fitness Activity Badge)
Telling the truth and being worthy of trust. (Related requirements: Bear: 18h - Jot it Down, Arrow of Light: 7)
Sticking with something and not giving up, even if it is difficult. (Related requirement: Webelos: Athlete Activity Badge)

It was a big night Thursday for parents and employees of the Terrebonne Parish school system as the district celebrated its first new school in 27 years.
It was a big night Thursday for parents and employees of the Terrebonne Parish school system as the district celebrated its first new school in 27 years.
Those who attended Grand Caillou Middle School's ribbon-cutting ceremony were anything but disappointed as curious visitors took to the halls to get a sneak peak of the $15.7 million building before school starts Aug. 11.
"It's just exciting. This is a great day, and we're finally at the point where we're ready to move the students in, and the faculty got to come in. So seeing their faces was exciting," said Grand Caillou Middle Principal Cindy Gray.
Guests gathered in the school's cafeteria for the ceremony and reception before touring the almost 58,000-square-foot building at 2161 Grand Caillou Road. The building stands 10 feet above sea level and contains 14 general classrooms, a computer lab, band room and library on the top level. The bottom floor has the lobby, administration offices, kitchen, cafetorium and a 15,000-foot covered area that will serve as a student gathering space for meals and other school functions.
The school, which has a capacity to hold 450 students, is made of materials that are easy to maintain and clean in the event of a flood. It sits behind the parish's new Thompson Road levee expansion, which should make it less vulnerable to storm surge.
The old Grand Caillou Middle building flooded seven times in recent history.
During the ceremony, School Board President Roger DeHart thanked all those who took part in helping plan and build the school.
"The fifth-graders who will start in this facility will positively have their children and their great-grandchildren in this building, and that's something many of us might not live to see," DeHart said. "But it's so overwhelming and important to me to see education continue in this community without worrying about floodwaters."
Grand Caillou math teacher Rebecca Harding didn't waste time choosing her new classroom. She said she couldn't be happier to start the school year in a new building and with new state-of-the-art equipment.
"I've been a teacher for 15 years now, not all here, but I'm so excited. We've waited a long time for this and it's finally happening," Harding said. "I'm ready to start decorating."
Board members and faculty weren't the only ones excited. Rachael and Sangster Brinson, along with their son, Trey, who will be starting sixth-grade, were more than impressed by the new facility.
"This is really nice and the kids deserve a nice building to go to school in. I also like events like tonight, I like to see where my tax dollars are going," Sangster Brinson said.
The school was paid for using zero-interest bonds negotiated by the School Board. The land the school is built on was donated. Taxpayers saved around $10 million, school officials said. An existing 1-cent sales tax will repay the bond debt.

Hi all,
I have read about using henna as a natural dye and was wondering if anyone knows the process. I think I had read something in the older forums, but since those are not available now, I am not sure how this would go about?
I want to try painting a few scarfs with my henna patterns and firstly I want to know, what is the process? Is it, henna, then dry, then iron & scrape off or henna, let dry and scrape off, and iron it... Also I would like to know, if there are specific fabrics that take the stain better than the others and should the henna recipe be different than what one would use for body art. Also, any solutions for bleed issues?
Basically, I would like a quick training on this topic :)

On his 2011 album Believers, singer-songwriter A.A. Bondy spends about 40 minutes in the spectral yet sensuous place between waking and sleeping consciousness. Slowing the pace of Bondy's evocative songs down to a drowsy crawl, and sprucing up his usually roughhewn musical trappings with layers of luminous, reverb-heavy lushness, Believers is a dreamy detour for the harmonica-slinging folkie. But for those who have seen Bondy in concert, the record sounds a lot more like his live shows than his first two albums, 2007's American Hearts and '09's When The Devil's Loose. Much like the half-remembered night visions that inspired Bondy while he was writing the record, Believers lingers in the mind even as the songs take several listens to take hold. But they do eventually take hold, and the grip is tight. Bondy—who plays tonight at the Church—spoke with The A.V. Club about the album, his dreams, and that Dylan-esque motorcycle accident he had last year.
The A.V. Club: You were based in Mississippi for a while, but you're living in L.A. now, right?
A.A. Bondy: Yeah, I've been living here for a while. We came to make the record out here in February. And I was here pretty much all of last fall, then I went back to New York for a couple months to write in utter, cold, cold seclusion. I wonder if I needed to do that, but that's what I did.
AVC: How do you like living in Los Angeles?
AAB: Um, it's the cliché things that people like and don't like about it. It's the traffic, which is a huge bummer, but there's, I don't know, how many days out of the year where you just feel amazing, weather-wise. I heard someone say yesterday, "It would be nice to have a thunderstorm every once in a while." But buckets of sunshine, cool breezes at night.
AVC: Why did you go to L.A. to make Believers?
AAB: Well, because Rob [Schnapf] works out here, and my girl lives here, so those are two pretty big ones.
AVC: Was there a particular reason you wanted to work with Schnapf?
AAB: We actually worked on a record years ago that I'm not particularly fond of [Verbena's La Musica Negra], but I like him, and I know what he's capable of. A lot has changed for me since we made that record, and I knew that we would laugh and that it would be a good. "Relaxed" probably isn't the right word, but [it's] a relatively easy environment to work in. He's pretty good at handling personalities that tend to get stressed out or forlorn in the studio.
AVC: After making those first two records, was there a vision you had for this third record, something you wanted to do that was different from the first two?
AAB: I mean, I always end up with these vague ideas in my mind that I'm not able to articulate what it is that I'm going for. But I knew I wanted it to be a little more collared in, as far as instrumental and musically, and have more shifting colors, as far as sounds were concerned. I don't think it's that far off from the last record, really. But those records were made without any real players that I played with for any length of time, and this time the drummer, Ben Lester, and the bass player, Macey Taylor, we'd been playing together probably close to two years at that point. We kind of [figured] out the language between us that informs a lot of the way the stuff sounds now.
AVC: You get pigeonholed as this folkie singer-songwriter, but this new record isn't really like that at all. Were you consciously trying to move away from that classification?
AAB: I mean, there might have been a time at which I was tired of it, but I don't really work in reaction to myself. I felt like I was done; I'd reached my limit with finger-picking and playing harmonica. When I did that the first time, it was entirely new to me, and anytime you pick out a new instrument and get your brain really working to learn a new style or new task, creation is almost easier. You're just fired up in a way you wouldn't be if you were using the same set of tools you had before. I guess I wasn't really getting anything out of that anymore—just guitar, harmonica, and voice. When you're just by yourself with your guitar, you have to generate all the rhythm yourself; you're responsible for everything, for the most part. And those kinds of songs don't really lend themselves to being full-band songs, so it was natural for us to get pointed in this other direction. Just making weird loops and playing with them—a different set of weapons, sonically.
AVC: This is the most electric record you've made, but it's also the slowest record. Believers has a very dream-like quality; were dreams an influence when you were making it?
AAB: They were. I was keeping a journal for a while, especially when I was in Mississippi. I was pretty diligent about writing stuff down every day. It's interesting when you do that, because otherwise you just carry those bits and fragments around, and they usually just dissipate unless it's a really substantial dream. And also just how, when you're by yourself for a period of time, that can almost become dreamlike without interactions with other people by phone or by talking face to face.
I'm not quite sure how to articulate it, but I definitely wanted it to have an otherness to it. By that, I mean something you can't quite put your finger on. That's what most of my dreams feel like. Even when you wake up, you can't remember what your dream was, necessarily, but you have a sense of what it is. The actual goings-on in the dream might not be very apparent, but you definitely feel affected by something that took place.
AVC: Do you feel like most of your dreams are good dreams, nightmares, or something in-between?
AAB: Mostly in-between. I've had dreams that were plane-crash dreams where I wasn't scared, and plane-crash dreams where I was terrified, where you really feel the forces of physics at work. Your brain will sometimes simulate things that you've never experienced. They're all over the place.
AVC: Is there significance to the album title, Believers?
AAB: It felt right at the time. It still does, because even that, it's like a statement and a question, to me. I don't know, I just liked it. A lot of times, I've seen other artists talk about their record, and they have very clear ideas about what their visions are, and I don't necessarily know exactly what I'm doing. I just kind of root around until something feels right.
AVC: In the press materials for Believers, the album is described as being "made up of scenes gathered in actual places, but also of scenes from another place." What is that other place?
AAB: It's the notion of the conscious and unconscious running together in a sphere. How you carry certain events, especially relationships between people—you just carry them around with you, and they pop up at odd times. That's basically an attempt to soundtrack, because I don't think I can articulate those things so well, and also because those things are so subjective. I go visit my grandmother; she's 94, and the way her brain works is a total trip. She won't remember something from two days ago, but she'll remember what it was like being a little girl in Louisiana, and all this stuff, just swirling around. And what triggers it to come out is kind of a mystery. That's the hard thing, especially in terms of words, not saying too much while still implying enough to generate some kind of image for the listener.
AVC: Music is such a powerful memory trigger for people. Are there songs you don't like to revisit because maybe they're associated with times of your life you don't want to go back to?
AAB: Um, none of them are really painful in that way. There's a couple that have to do with girls that I don't really want to deal with because the sentiment behind that song doesn't exist anymore. Most of the time I leave them because I don't like them, or I don't feel like what they said at the time is relevant anymore. "American Hearts," I don't know if I necessarily believe that song anymore. I really believed it at the time, but it's really a naïve view of American war politics. Maybe that's why it worked at the time, because most people don't really understand what's going on or why this country operates the way it operates. At the time it felt significant, but I don't find myself believing it anymore.
AVC: You were in a motorcycle accident last year in upstate New York. What happened?
AAB: Oh, yeah. I guess at the time it felt like a silly Bob Dylan imitation, given the geography. Myself and a buddy of mine—Simone Felice, who used to be with The Felice Brothers but now he's on his own—I hadn't been up for a while, and I just moved back to New York from Mississippi—and we'd gone and ridden our bikes to this big reservoir called the Ashokan Reservoir. He spun this news on me that he was about to have his aorta replaced by a mechanical aorta. That was a pretty trippy conversation—that it was going to be his last ride 'til whenever. Then we get back on the road. There's construction on the highway. I wasn't really paying attention. I didn't see the signs and there were these huge ruts in the road. I hit one of them going about 50 miles an hour, and was ejected from my ride. So yeah, I just got dinged up and lost some skin. It's funny when you're missing skin on specific points of your body. It makes everything a little bit tougher to accomplish—shower, butter your toast, whatever.
AVC: Were you in the hospital for a while after that?
AAB: Just the afternoon. They didn't really do anything. It was like a $1,000 bill to basically do what your mom would have done—wiped you off, sent you home.
AVC: Have you ridden motorcycles since then, or were you kind of spooked after that?
AAB: I was, at first. All of a sudden the reality of being on a machine like that. Just kind of like, "What am I doing on this thing?" Cars seemed bigger and heavier than they had prior to that. But, you know, you get back on, you become used to it, like things tend to do. But it was spooky at first.
AVC: Did it change your perspective on life at all?
AAB: You know, that didn't really happen. Maybe a long time after the fact, your brain might replay those, "Oh, if I had bounced into the other lane," scenarios or something like that. But at the time it just felt very scientific. Front wheel hits hole, handlebars start shaking, I go down. You're in shock when you can't look at your feet, that's happened to other friends of mine who have gotten into wrecks. My friend Jesse one time flipped his bike into a ravine, and he said he laid on his back for a while until he got the courage to see if his limbs would move, because he wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer. But I didn't really have that, in the heat of it, that kind of creation of a line at which everything afterward appeared to be brighter. It's kind of like a glorified bicycle wreck when you're 7 or 8. You skin your knee.

Keeping the information contained in the company's IT equipment secure is an obvious priority. But as technology becomes outdated and is recycled, replaced or repurposed, keeping the data secure is still a vital part of the process.
"Confidential information has a lifecycle: it is created; it is stored; it is transferred; it is deleted or destroyed," advises Mark Lobel, a partner in security, privacy and risk practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Each part of that lifecycle should be important to companies."
The security issues involved in IT disposal gained prominence from a 2010 CBS News investigation into data stored on digital photocopiers. But with new technologies come new challenges.
Solid-state drives, which are faster than traditional hard drives and used in many laptops, tablets and cellphones, and most recently were offered by Amazon's cloud service, cannot be wiped clean in the same manner as traditional disk drives.
About a billion pieces of computer equipment will be retired this year, according to Jim O'Grady, the director of asset management at HP Financial Services, and the disposal of IT assets is subject to 163 regulations worldwide.
To securely remove data, traditional drives undergo a process called a "military wipe," which overwrites old data, erasing the previous data as it goes. Simply hitting "delete" will erase the index that points to where a file is stored on a disk, but those files would still be accessible using forensic technology. Government and industry standards typically call for multiple overwrites to insure all data is removed.
However, even a military wipe isn't effective on a solid-state drive, which stores information directly in the hardware. A military wipe erases only 20% to 30% of the data on a solid-state drive, according to PwC's Lobel. "Some organizations have tested it and they recovered quite a lot of data," he notes.
Companies can make data unreadable using hardware-based encryption, which is effective and doesn't take as many iterations to wipe clean. "But you have to know [the encryption function is] there, and you have to know this is an issue and take the extra step to enable the hardware-based encryption," Lobel says.
When erasing the data is possible, it comes with its own challenges. Solid-state drives have to be programmed correctly to successfully implement an erase command, cautions Steven Swanson, an associate professor of computer science at the University of California, San Diego, who studies solid-state memory technologies. Some drives don't implement the command at all, and some have bugs and don't implement it correctly. In the case of USB thumb drives, there is no reliable way at all to erase data short of physically destroying the drive, Swanson adds, unless you are using a high-end, secure drive that can wipe itself.
"There's not an easy way for a user to check," he says. "If there's a bug or an error in the software that runs inside your drive, you may tell it to erase the drive, it may tell you that it did that successfully, and if you go back and look for that data, you won't find any—but that data can actually still be there."
Some systems may even claim to be securely erasing data in a way that's not currently possible. On a Mac laptop or desktop, Swanson says, "there's a command to securely erase the trash, and that involves just going in and erasing particular files." But there could be many older versions of that file in other locations, "so erasing a single file is really, really hard. I don't know of a reliable way to do it currently."
Swanson recommends asking manufacturers about it to ensure that they're aware of the problem. "That will make it clear to them that they need to provide a good solution. It's not hard to do…but it does require that you know a little bit of what you're doing on the manufacturer's side."
And just as it's not hard for manufacturers, it's not very difficult for someone looking to recover your data: Swanson says an electrical engineer with a four-year degree and a moderately well-equipped laboratory could manage.
Keeping data around longer than required is a liability, PwC's Lobel says, even if the company isn't getting rid of the hardware. "If you have the IT assets and you aren't disposing in a secure fashion, you have a fiduciary responsibility," he says. Companies could face an economic liability if information is compromised.
Even after a company sells IT assets, it is still held responsible. "Once you're in that chain, you can't separate yourself—that's a big surprise for a lot of our clients," O'Grady says. "Never let your asset off your premise site without wiping the data. There's lot of leakage that can occur."
"You're putting your company's brand at risk," O'Grady adds. "Especially when we talk to CFOs and treasury, they clearly see that how they treat e-waste is a major brand concern for them."

The first baby step is to Arm Yourself with Support. Before you go dumping out all of your boxes of Mac N Cheese and making sweeping changes over your family's diet, take some time to really "count the cost" of what is involved. Make a commitment to begin the journey, but give yourself ample time to transition!
Partner up with a friend or mentor, if possible, who desires to make this transition as well, or who already has done so. Support can come in the form of a physical "accountability partner" or an online accountability partner. The web is full of resources for recipes, tips, and community discussion.
Purchase Nourishing Traditions, Eat Fat, Lose Fat, The Garden of Eating,or Meals that Heal. Join an online forum such as DiscussingNT.yahoogroups.com, Traditional Foods Forum . Check out the Real Food Media Network.
Find your local chapter leader of the Weston A. Price foundation and get hooked up with a community of other like-minded folks. I was amazed at the wealth of information that was uncovered when I found my local group. They offer classes, resources, and a place to purchase some of those hard-to-find items that go with a traditional diet.
If all else fails, you can feel free to e-mail me: carriethienes [at] hotmail [dot]com for a personal cheerleader and coach!
So, if you are beginning this journey and you'd like to start to the "baby steps", your homework for this week is to seek out at least one of the above resources and spend 20 minutes this week just reading! Check back next week for Baby Step #2!

Half-truths are always fun. I've used them before when defending my own poor decisions: like too much shopping (saying I only bought a couple things when really those couple things were more than I could afford), or speeding (explaining that the speeding tickets I racked up in my teenage years to my father were because the cops were busting everyone that day, while failing to mention I was in fact going 20-plus miles over the speed limit).
It's a great tactic to use to make yourself look or feel better. So it's no wonder everyone on the ObamaCare ship is embracing the half-truth.
Nearly every week it seems I get a new press release from the Health and Human Services Department, where Kathleen Sebelius begins each with "thanks to health care reform…" and then goes into something great the Obama administration has done for health care.
This week, Sebelius tells us the new health care law's pre-existing condition coverage clause extends insurance to nearly 50,000 people with high-risk pre-existing conditions nationwide.
I have to admit—that sounds like great news. I've seen this pre-existing condition problem firsthand, hearing about my mother constantly getting rejected for insurance because of her history of cancer. It's a really sad and ridiculous thing to have to watch people go through, considering most have endured so much already.
But this new HHS report comes drenched in continued criticism that the program is not meeting its own goals. The Medicare actuary originally predicted the program would enroll 375,000 people by the end of 2010, but high enrollment costs are frequently blamed on keeping people away.
And what about the overarching goal of health reform—to reduce costs for care while expanding coverage? That simply isn't happening. Five billion dollars has been set aside alone for the pre-existing plan.
And here are some other gems: The number of Americans getting health insurance from their employer continues to drop, with a record low 44.6 percent getting employer-sponsored coverage in 2011, according to Gallup numbers.
Meanwhile, the percentage of uninsured Americans also has increased, rising to 17.1 percent this year, the highest seen since 2008. Either some workers can no longer afford the rising cost of health insurance the employer offers, Gallup research notes, or simply put, the employer is not offering health insurance any longer.
Plus, nearly half of small businesses say health care costs and government regulations is why they aren't hiring (or plan on hiring) employees.
Not to mention the breach of religious freedom and conscience through the contraceptive mandate.
But apparently, these few examples are just minute details—not worth any mention as Sebelius continues to hit the campaign trail harder than Rick Santorum.
So sure, I'll admit the administration is right about something: Health reform is causing things to change. But the problem is none of it seems to be any good.

User talk:Y2kbug
From AlsaProject
Greetings Andreas.
Great work grinding through all the missing pages!
I have a question about your Template:Discontinued
Does it really mean that the module development is discontinued, or that the card that uses the module is discontinued?
E.g. many people have the Echo cards - what does original developer Giuliano Pochini <firstname.lastname@example.com> say?
--EliotBlennerhassett 10:24, 14 August 2007 (CEST)
- Hello Eliot.
- I'm no longer sure...
- I think that the developement of the driver (=module) was discontinued, because if the card was discontinued, you would have to add it to dozens of soundcards, starting with SoundBlaster 1.0/2.0/Pro over SoundBlaster 16 and so on, which are no longer available on the market and therefore discontinued.
- But: please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Also consider that I'm not a developer, just a user.
- Cheers, Andreas 20:13, 14 August 2007 (CEST)
- Hi!
- Yes, you were right and I was wrong... The modules are there, and page http://www.webalice.it/g_pochini/ead/ shows no sign of any discontinued modules.
- I got all confused by Matrix:Vendor-Echo Corporation. The "discontinued" of course refers to the sound card, not to the driver.
- I corrected my mistake, Template:Discontinued is now unused. Delete?

Practical Modelling of Joints and Connections
January 14th-28th 2013
sessions take place at
Monday January 14th, January 21st & January 28th.
all sessions are recorded, and available to view at any time**
Three-Week Training Course
(one 2.5 hour session per week)
Engineering Board PDH Credits: 7.5 hours*
THIS COURSE WILL BE RE-RUN IN THE NEXT 2-3 MONTHS. EMAIL email@example.com TO BE KEPT UP TO DATE WITH CONFIRMED COURSE DATES.
Course OverviewMost structures involve some form of jointing or connection. Traditional fabricated structures have used many thousands of bolts and rivets to connect components together in a continuous manner, in the case of ships and aircraft the total can run into millions.
Course Process and Details
In the current climate travel and training budgets are tight. To help you still meet your training needs the following e-learning course has been developed to complement the live class. The e-learning course runs over a three week period with a single two hour session per week.
The course is completely code independent. No software is required.
Each topic in the class is treated as a building block and is presented using an overview of the physics and theory involved. The math is kept simple and the emphasis is on practical examples from real life to illustrate the topic. The mapping to Finite Element analysis techniques is shown with numerous workshops. The tutor will be showing analysis results interactively and involving the students in the process via Q and A periods during each session, follow up emails and a Course Bulletin Board
Students are welcome to send in problems from industry and these will be discussed as time permits.
Full notes are provided for the students, together with personal passwords for e-learning backup material, bulletin board access etc.
Students will join the audio portion of the meetings by utilizing the VoIP (i.e. headset connected to the computer via headphone and microphone jacks) or by calling into a standard toll line. If you are interested in additional pricing to call-in using a toll-free line, please send an email to: e-learning @ nafems.org .

Both allies and opponents of the United States expressed horror at the deadly Boston Marathon bombings, as sympathetic statements emerged from Canada to China on Tuesday.
Iran denounced the attacks as part of a scourge that should be prevented "irrespective of wherever they occur," its Foreign Ministry told state news media.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said that although some governments may believe that supporting terrorists can benefit them, "the evil phenomenon of terrorism will harm all, and all should rise to counter it," the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
FULL COVERAGE: Boston Marathon attack
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered to help with the investigation, condemning the "barbarous crime," the Russian state news agency reported. The Associated Press reported that Cuba sent its "most heartfelt condolences." And in China, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said her country was "firmly opposed to any attack aimed at common people," according to the New China News Agency.
