About the Broncos
Boise State softball is in its third season. Head coach Erin Thorpe and the Broncos return 15 letterwinners and eight starters from the 2010 squad that finished third in the Western Athletic Conference.
After a 2-8 start, Boise State posted a school-record 12-game winning streak behind dominant pitching. The Bronco pitching staff combined for a staggering 0.65 ERA in the last 10 games of the streak, a span that included a 41-inning scoreless streak.
The win streak propelled the Broncos into the confernce slate where they started 8-1. Boise State enters this weekend 15-3 in WAC play, fresh off a sweep of Fresno State. The Broncos became the first team to sweep a season series from the Bulldogs in WAC history, and are in first place in the conference.
The Broncos are 13-2 in their last 15 games. The span includes not only the sweep of Fresno State, but a sweep at Hawai'i. It was the first time the Rainbow Wahine suffered a sweep at home since 2005, and was the first three wins in the all-time series for Boise State. The marquee wins have put the Broncos in the national conversation, receiving votes in the Ultimate College Softball Top 25 Poll for consecutive weeks. Boise State has nine votes in the latest poll, released Tuesday.
Junior Aubray Zell leads the team in the circle with a 14-2 record and 1.73 ERA. Zell has been named WAC Pitcher of the Week three times this season. Earning the Broncos' first win against Hawai'i, she became the only pitcher in school history to beat all seven WAC teams. Fellow junior Allie Crump joined that exclusive club with a win against Fresno State. Crump is 13-6 on the year with a 3.73 ERA.
Devon Bridges is enjoying a breakout freshman campaign, pacing the Bronco offense. Bridges is batting .381 with 14 home runs and 50 RBI, leading the team in each category. She has thrived in WAC play, hitting 10 home runs and driving in 29 while slugging .980.
Juniors Christina Capobianco and Tazz Weatherly have joined Bridges as the Broncos' hottest hitters the last 15 games. Capobianco is slugging .821 with five homers, while Weatherly is batting .410 with 12 runs and seven RBI during the span.

Apparently there is a chip inside the printers that counts the number of prints. Once you hit that number it shuts the thing down whether it's bad or not. The film shows a guy searching relentlessly to find a way to fix it. He finds a Russian website where he can download something that resets the counter in the chip. The printer starts working just fine after it's reset.
Walmart is running an HP all in one for $29 with a 1 year warranty -at 2.75 a month i don't mind the planned obs so much. same with a $10.00 Timex . But when you buy a Plasma (as my brother did ) and 3 days after the warranty the dam thing's remote sensor goes out a man gets a little pissed.

Ask the people in Ghana if planned obsolescence is no big deal because of the cheap price. When you are the world's dumping ground I don't think a sale at Walmart justifies HP or Apple's decisions to make you buy a new "thing" every year.
china is in the same shape . i wish i could get more excited about this subject but we've been dumping Medical waste in the oceans for decades , supposedly ''safely'' storing nuclear waste when in actuality truckers just dump it or shallowly bury it in 50 gallon drums .
When WASTE MANAGEMENT firms get fined it is usually about 5% of what they earn -so why should they comply with anything ?

I agree. I am no environmentalist but plain common sense will tell you to recycle whenever possible and put garbage where it belongs. The problem is that we just don't have enough room to put all the garbage. Making sure people have to buy something new every year just makes the problem worse. But, on the flip side, if we don't have to buy something new every year then people lose jobs. It's a tricky cycle and I certainly don't have the answers. But I am pretty sure that dumping our garbage at the feet of third world countries is not the answer.
Good Earth Power has patented technology that could turn garbage into energy. They are doing this in Nigeria. They are going to supply multiple new communities with sustainable infrastructure. They will have powerplants that will use zero carbon. It converts garbage to hydrogen to electricity. They will also have telecommunications that are under their own control. The fuel will be biodiesel instead of gasoline. Its insane, but they will leapfrog Western society because they do not have political lobbyists to prevent it.
They have a garbage picker machine that separates metals and plastics. Soon, all of those garbage piles will be gone. They will find that as much as they use up, they create energy. I am happy to be involved with this project.
I pictured you as that guy Gaylord in Showboat, passing up taxis to walk because he's broke and playing it off as if it's the doctor's advice. - Clmetal

Liv Tyler's dress falls under that category of fashion we just don't understand.
The Proenza Schouler style has the makings of a classic wrap dress but it's missing the fully-wrapped fabric effect. It's like the design duo ran out of that lovely blue patterned fabric toward the end. Now the poor HBO star looks like she's bursting out of her outfit!
VIDEO: Hear Liv talk about her Givenchy beauty line!
Obviously that's not the case, nor is it the only problem with this precarious piece. Turns out the brunette beauty flashed the paps because this wrap wasn't wrapped tightly enough! So now we have missing fabric and a faulty fit. As much as we love this black-and-blue combo, two obvious issues make this a clear fail in our book.
Though considering how good Liv's leg look in this wardrobe whoops, it might not be so terrible. What's your take?

Top 14 review: Clermont qualify
Last Updated: 15/04/12 7:50am
Seru Nakaitaci offloads for Clermont
Bayonne kept their Top 14 survival hopes alive on Saturday with a 24-19 win over Biarritz in a fiercely contested Basque derby.
Clermont moved level with Toulouse at the summit of the standings with a convincing win at home to Stade Français.
The result also guarantees Clermont automatic qualification for the semi-finals.
Agen secured their spot in the top flight for another year with victory over Toulon while Racing Metro took a step towards the play-offs thanks to a bonus-point win over Brive.
Mamuka Gorgodze scored a hat-trick as Montpellier smashed Lyon, who are now almost sure to be relegated.
In the late game, Castres boosted their play-off hopes with a big win at home to Bordeaux-Bègles, who are now deep in the relegation quagmire.
ASM Clermont Auvergne 25-9 Stade Francais Paris
Parc des Sports Marcel Michelin, Clermont Ferrand
Clermont confirmed their status as the team to beat in the Top 14 as they secured qualification for the semi-finals.
As was the case in last week's European quarter-final, Brock James was on song with the boot, landing 20 points including a drop goal.
For Stade Français, qualification for the play-off has now become complicated as they now trail Parisian rivals Racing by six points.
With a much-changed team, Clermont led 13-3 at the break, thanks to a try from hooker Benoit Cabello.
Dominant at scrum time, the Parisians took the game by the scruff of the neck in the second half as Julien Dupuy kicked them back into contention.
But the power of the hosts' bench proved too much for Stade Français as James kicked les Jaunards to victory in the final quarter.
The win was Clermont's 41st in succession at home.
"I am very happy with the spirit in our team," said Clermont coach Vern Cotter.
"The players don't want to disappoint the fans at Marcel-Michelin Stadium and these four points for victory are very important."
Stade's Australian coach Michael Cheika insisted his team can still make the end of season play-offs.
"I am not even thinking about not qualifying, there are still three matches to go, so we will see," he said.
SU Agen 22-13 RC Toulon
Stade Armandie, Agen
A bad week for Toulon got even worse as the home play-off that looked so sure a few weeks ago is now under threat.
Manager Bernard Laporte has been summoned before the FFR and is set to see his 60-day ban for criticising the local refs extended.
The result means that Agen are safe from relegation as they climb into eighth.
Toulon took the early lead thanks to Gaby Lovobalavu's try and were ahead 10-9 at the break.
But Brice Dulin's second-half try for the home side plus 17 points from the boot of Conrad Barnard saw Agen bring their losing streak to an end and deny Toulon a losing bonus point.
Montpellier HR 43-12 Lyon Olympique
Stade Yves Du Manoir, Montpellier
A great result for Montpellier as a full house of points brings them to just one point behind third-placed Toulon.
It was on-way traffic as Georgian loose forward Gorgodze bagged a hat-trick. Montpellier led 22-0 at the break and added three more tries after the break.
Fabien Galthie's are looking more and more like a side that could repeat their surprise appearance in last season's final.
For Lyon, the ProD2 beckons.
Racing-Metro 40-19 CA Brive Correze
Stade Yves Du Manoir - Colombes (Paris)
Racing continue their spring revival with a bonus-point win - their fifth success in six games - that takes them closer to the play-offs.
Les Franciliens were full value for their five championship points and look to be hitting form at just the right time as they scored four excellent tries.
Racing led 16-9 at the end of a tightly-fought first half thanks to a try from centre Henry Chavancy.
But the Parisians cut loose in the second period with Fijian lock Jone Qovu bagging a double.
Brive's 70th-miunte try from Riaan Swanepoel proved too little too late and les Corréziens are still one win short of safety.
Aviron Bayonnais 24-19 Biarritz Olympique
Stade Jean Dauger, Bayonne
It wasn't pretty, but no one expected it would be. In the end, Bayonne can still believe they can save their Top 14 hides after a bruising encounter in the 101st Basque derby.
The result sees Bayonne move to within striking distance of Bordeaux-Bègles, whom they now trail by three points.
An ultra-motived home side gave it all in the contact areas and ruled at scrum time, setting up replacement pivot Cedric Garcia for a late, winning drop goal.
Former Cheetahs, Bulls and Sharks fly-half Jacques Louis Potgieter landed seven penalties for Bayonne while Biarritz wing Ilikena Bolakoro scored the only try of the game.
Bayonne led 18-12 at the break after a first period dominated by penalties. Potgieter landed 6 from 6 while Dimitri Yachvili slotted 4 from 4.
Potgieter extended the lead after the restart but Julien Peyrelongue combined with Bolakoro as BO crossed the whitewash to set up a grandstand finish.
But Garcia came off the bench and slotted the winning drop with his first touch of the ball in the 70th minute.
Castres Olympique 44-20 Union Bordeaux-Begles
Stade Pierre Antoine, Castres
Castres led from start to finish to consolidate their place in the top six.
Bordeaux-Bègles were their own worst enemies, making a plethora of errors. The result leaves them under serious threat of relegation as their remaining fixtures are not easy.
The game swung in Castres favour when UBB hooker Fabien Rofes was handed a dubious yellow card for a late tackle. From there the wheels came off the Bordeaux bus although Castres were unable to clinch the crucial bonus point.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend…mine was spent with the boys, because Anne headed up to Portland to visit one of her friends for her birthday.
I was really looking forward to a cool "just us guys" weekend, but the boys were really in a lousy mood most of the weekend. They just wouldn't stop bickering with each other, and Ryan had on his "I'm 12 and you're an idiot" pants most of the time. I bet he found them in my box of stuff from my parent's house…I think I'll go burn the "I'm 14 and you're an asshole" pants before he can find them. Nostalgia be damned!
We did do some cool things this weekend, though.
Nolan had a soccer game on Saturday, and I thought I was going to miss it because I have a class on Saturdays, but the teacher gave me the OK to come late, so I could watch the game. Nolan's playing indoor soccer in a different league than the evil AYSO league he played in last year here. It is really non-competitive, with the focus put 100% on the kids having fun and goofing off. The parents and the coaches were really cool, except for one parent who was sitting next to the kids and me while we were waiting for Nolan's game to start. This guy's kid must have been, oh, five, maybe six years old, and his dad thought it was extremely important that he scream at the kid to "ATTACK THE GODDAM BALL, JUSTIN!"
Yeah. He's lucky I wasn't wearing my "I'm 29 and you're a shitty parent" pants, because I'd have let him have it.
The coolest thing happened at this game, though. Nolan had invited my parents to come and watch, as well as two of my friends. My friends never showed up, but my folks did, and I wish I could recreate for everyone the look of pride and joy that filled Nolan's face when he saw that they'd come to watch him.
They walked past the goal where he was standing, and he just lit up, and came running over to us, and threw his arms around my mom and then my dad, and said, "You made it! Thank you for coming to my game!"
He's seemed a little unhappy recently (I think there's some stuff going on with his dad), and it was really awesome to see him so joyful for a change.
He played a great game, in pretty much every position. He did not allow a goal when he was in the net, and nearly scored three different times. The game was a total blowout, but I could tell that all the kids, on both teams, were having a great time. I guess it makes a difference when parents aren't wearing their "I'm middle-aged and unhappy with my own life so I'll try to get some vicarious glory through my kids who just want to play and have fun" pants.
Saturday night, Ryan spent the night at his friend's house…he told me that they spent the evening singing karaoke with his parents.
I'm not too sure I'm so comfortable that. 😉
So Sunday came, and I took Ryan and Nolan geocaching.
We started out looking for this one, but it just didn't want to be found, so we headed off to another one, which Ryan found really easily.
Filled with the flush of success, we headed up to this one, which was my favorite of the day…what a beautiful hike, where we saw some deer, and a spectacular view of where I grew up in La Crescenta!
We were all feeling tired, and thinking of heading home, but the kids insisted that we go try one final cache, which Nolan found, much to his delight.
I realized that the best part of it for me was not the actual finding (although we were pretty frustrated to not find the one at the bridges), but the spending time with the boys (oh, how I wish I could call them "my boys," but that's another story) and discovering new places that we had never seen before.
We've gone looking for 5 different caches here in the last week, and each cache has been in a place that I've driven past about three hundred times a year, but never bothered to look at closely.
For example, I drive over the Colorado street bridge at least 4 times a week, and I've never been down into the Arroyo before. If any of you live in Pasadena, I strongly suggest heading down and walking the path that leads beneath the two bridges. It's really beautiful, and great for dogs. Just watch out for the poison oak!
I thought back to the metaphor about ignoring things which are right in front of us, and I was really greatful to the people who placed the caches for giving my an excuse to explore these areas, and spend the time discovering them with the kids.
Anne came home late last night, after numerous flight delays, and all was right with the world. It was a good weekend, indeed.
Thought for today:
"People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood."

The models are buoyant; just like the hyped Danish brand, which mark the focus of Munk Store's new FW/13-lookbook. The book mixes the best looks from across the range of brand that the store carries: Wood Wood, Asger Juel Larsen, Libertine-Libertine and Won Hundred – mixed in with a bit of German sense of occasion hailing from Dudes Factory and Buffalo.
Munk Store's new lookbook furthermore marks the incorporation of the stronger sex within the web store. In regarding the more feminine, you will be warmly welcomed by renowned brands such as Stine Goya, Tiger of Sweden and Asger Juel Larsen. They will be available for purchase during the autumn.
– Brands usually compose their own lookbooks, but in this instance we have been able to create and illustrate our own universe, without constricting ourselves to a single brand. The theme is 'levitation'. It revolves around the notion of floating away and disregarding the bustle and strict deadlines of everyday life, says Steffen Førgaard, co-owner of Munk Store.
Munk Store has since 2011 been selling clothes with style. Not solely in the form of having trendsetting brands on the shelves, but equally in the philosophy lying behind the whole venture of Munkstore.dk and the physical store in Holstebro. It is about meeting the customer on the same level and openly inviting into the authentic universe surrounding the store.

As early as the 16th century, the concept of property being held in trust by one person for the benefit of another was part of the English Common Law. For nearly 400 years the common law trust has been used by lawyers mainly for the benefit of the extremely wealthy, who have cultivated a whole realm of trusts to pass ownership of assets from generation to generation with the least amount of taxation and the greatest degree of security in the process.
The Delaware statutory trust (DST), however, is a statutory entity, created by filing a Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Division of Corporations, and governed by Chapter 38, Part V, Title 12 of the Delaware Code annotated (See 12 §§ 3801 through 3862). Delaware is one of the few U.S. states to have a statutory trust law. Most states still rely upon common law trusts.
Common law trusts are still often used but they have many rules that are outdated and can create uncertainty about a number of legal aspects of the trust. Delaware has undertaken the task to modernize the common law and create an effective and judicially secure form of entity.
Like the Delaware LLC law, the Statutory Trust Act relies on the legal principle of "freedom of contract" (See 12 § 3823(b)). This puts the power to determine the rights and responsibilities of the various parties in the hands of the drafters of the governing instrument, usually referred to as the "trust agreement" (See 12 §3801(f)). The trust agreement is the private, governing document of the entity. Delaware does NOT require the trust agreement to be filed (unlike several other states) and therefore the parties to the statutory trust and their relative duties and responsibilities can remain the secret of the parties. (See 12 §3810).
The trust agreement is the definitive document and Delaware law provides that the Delaware Court of Chancery will enforce its terms upon the trustees and beneficial owners (See 12 §3804). It is a contract and is enforceable. The trust agreement may create various classes or groups of trustees and/or beneficial owners (See 12 §3806). The trust agreement determines the nature of distributions of the trusts assets for the benefit of the beneficial owners (See 12 §3805). Trustees may have very broad powers or very limited powers, per the trust agreement and they may delegate their duties and authority to officers, committees, agents or others named in the trust agreement (See 12 §3806).
There is no requirement for the trust agreement to be in English, and no requirement to submit the document to any authority in Delaware for approval. There is no restriction as to the specific location to keep the trust agreement and no specific format or phraseology that must be taken into account. In fact, the drafters really have complete authority to devise the relationship of the trustee and the beneficial owners as they desire.
For example, the voting rights of the trustee or the beneficial owners may be expanded, limited, or eliminated with respect to any matter relating to the trust, such as investment decisions, distribution decisions, etc. (See 12 §3806). This provides greater flexibility than common law trusts and most alternative forms of business organizations which often have mandatory provisions on such matters as voting rights and dividend distribution.
The Delaware Statutory Trust Act (DSTA) states that the trust is a separate legal entity and that no creditor of a beneficial owner has any right to obtain possession of any of the property belonging to the trust (See 12 §3805(b)). The DSTA also states that a beneficial owner has no specific interest in the property of the trust (see 12 §3805(c), and the beneficial owner may not terminate the trust except in accordance with the private trust agreement (See 12 §3803). Thus, other beneficial owners of the trust are protected against any beneficial owner filing for bankruptcy, going through a divorce, etc.
Beneficial owners can have the same limitations on personal liability for the entity as shareholders of a Delaware corporation (See 12 §3803). Beneficial owners may participate in management, or effectively control the statutory trust by directing the trustees without taking on the personal liability (See 12 §3806(a)).
Beneficial owners may transfer their interests to others unless prohibited or limited by the trust agreement. Transferability will be permitted by the courts unless specifically limited in the trust agreement (See 12 §3805(d)).
Generally, the entity has two types of participants—trustees and beneficial owners. The trustee holds the legal title to the assets of the trust but is obligated to follow the terms of the trust agreement in managing them. The beneficial owners hold equitable ownership and they, too, are governed by the terms of the trust agreement as to their ability to manage, control or utilize the assets. Trustees and beneficial owners cannot be held liable for their good faith reliance on provisions of the trust agreement (See 12 §3802).
At least one trustee must be a resident of Delaware, which can be satisfied by naming a Delaware trust company, or by forming a Delaware corporation to act as the trustee (See 12 §3807).
There is no franchise tax and no Delaware income tax on statutory trusts formed in Delaware. Under the U.S. Federal Internal Revenue Code a business trust may be treated as a grantor trust, a partnership, or an association, like a corporation depending on the wording of the trust agreement. With check-the-box regulations in place, it is possible for a statutory trust to elect what type of tax structure under which it wishes to operate. Further, non-resident alien beneficiaries of self-settled trusts are not required to pay any income tax to or file any tax returns with the United States. See 26 CFR Section 1.6012-1(b)(2).
A Delaware statutory trust may qualify as a REMIC (Real Estate Management Investment Contract), a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), or a Regulated Investment Company, such as a mutual fund, under the IRC and receive preferential tax treatment.
Mutual funds set up using a Delaware statutory trust may not be required to have annual shareholder meetings, or allow shareholder votes on any matters.
Delaware statutory trusts are often used for financing commercial airliners. The trust holds title to the plane, managed administratively by a Delaware trust company. The airline is the beneficial owner and uses and maintains the plane while paying a lender who makes a return on the investment. This type of arrangement is sometimes called a leveraged lease. In this way none of the three have responsibility for the plane itself should an accident occur.
This form of entity shows how much flexibility is allowable and still protects the parties under a statute which respects their trust agreement and the good faith management decisions of the parties.

In most Asian cultures it is common practice to remove your shoes before entering a home. This is because it is well understood that low level energies tend to sink to ground level, and some of these inevitably get stuck to our shoes as we walk around.
Their thinking is: Why on earth would we want to trample a whole mish-mash of physical grime and unwholesome energies through our home when we can simply remove our shoes at the door and leave the dirt and energies outside where they belong? They do no harm there. The problems only start if you bring them inside.
Somehow this innate wisdom about shoes has not passed from East to West. The current fashion for cream or beige carpets means that some western households do have a shoes-off policy when entering the home these days, but this is more to avoid marking the carpets than because of any energetic awareness.
Of course, leaving your shoes outside your front door is not the most sensible option anywhere in the world. They tend to get stolen, rained on, heat-baked, chewed by dogs, or worse. So is there a better solution?
My personal favourite is to have a shoe cupboard somewhere just inside the main entrance so you can take your shoes off as soon as you enter and store them hidden from view. Why hidden from view? Because arriving home to see a jumble of shoes on the floor or on an open rack does not uplift your spirits or create the most welcoming sight for you or your guests.
As any feng shui consultant will tell you, when it comes to entrances, first impressions count, and your main entrance is one of the key areas of your home to get right. Whatever your senses are greeted with when you first enter sets the tone for everything that happens there, and shoe clutter does not create the best visual, olfactory, or energetic effect to benefit you or anyone you live with.
However, in many homes there's simply no space to have a shoe cupboard close to the main entrance. So what can you do about that? The next best solution is to take your shoes off when you enter and carry them to where your shoe cupboard is, which can be just about anywhere except your meditation room (if you have one) or your bedroom.
'Oh no!' some of you reading this may be saying at this point. 'I always keep my shoes in my bedroom. There's nowhere else to put them.'
This would be an absolute no-no in most Asian countries, but it's all too common in the West. There may be little you can do about this in your current home, but if ever you move you can certainly put a shoe cupboard near the front door firmly on your wish list. In the meantime, here are some tips to help mitigate the effects of storing shoes in the bedroom:
- Keep them inside a closed cupboard rather than out in the open
- Don't keep them under your bed or close to the head of your bed
- Create an organized storage system rather than throwing them into a heap
- Have regular clear-outs to get rid of any shoes you never wear
If you've always worn shoes inside your home, there will be a gunky layer of energy at floor level that probably feels normal to you, and it won't make a heck of a lot of difference if you stop wearing shoes now or not. But if you make a fresh start by cleaning your carpets and washing your floors, and especially if you space clear your home too, then a no-shoe rule will make a difference that is tangible. You'll wonder why you never thought of it before.
Interestingly, while writing this article, a telephone engineer turned up to repair our line, and all I had to do was look at his shoes and he instantly got the message and took them off. I thought perhaps this might mean this behaviour has become more commonplace than I thought, but it turned out to be a simple case of beige carpet syndrome that had conditioned his response. Ah well, every bit helps.

When I arrived at work yesterday morning, it was a balmy 55 degrees. To put that in perspective, an average high this time of year is 43. After 8am though, it was fascinating, yet very painful, to watch the mercury fall. Check out this link to Wichita's weather since Friday (as of this writing). Look at Saturday's 4pm temperature (and high) of 61. As I write this, it's 6...that's a 55 degree change! Ouch! At least we're not up in western North Dakota or eastern Montana this morning where it's -25 to -30!
Going back to the weather records, you'll notice that over the next 7-10 days, all but one of Wichita's record lows are from either 1983 or 1989. And I remember both of them vividly...especially 1989. Picture me riding my bike on the KU campus to Finals. The only part of my body you could see was my eyes...everything else was covered up. That hurt...I've never been so cold.
Stay warm, please!!

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber dating again as long as he stops being a jerk
Though Taylor Swift might wish they were never ever ever getting back together (like ever), sources are reporting that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are indeed on-again. Apparently being spotted together on the 4th of July wasn't just a fluke, but proof that they have in fact resumed dating.
TMZ reports that Gomez agreed to take Bieber back after their July 4 reunion, but with one stipulation: "he's gotta stop acting like a d-bag." Of course, that was before he urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cursed at Bill Clinton, so who knows where the couple stands now.
Gomez doesn't seem to be over Bieber yet regardless of whether TMZ's story is true. She recently included one of Bieber's sappy voicemails on her single "Love Will Remember," and says she thinks that Bieber will like it. "I think it's a sweet way of releasing it. It's not an aggressive approach to what people are probably expecting. I'm sure [Justin] will love it too," Gomez says in a recent interview.
That doesn't sound like they're two feuding ex's from where we're sitting. As TMZ notes, Bieber might actually be able to shape up and stop his string of bad behavior if he has Gomez to impress. His single life almost always directly correlates with his "d-baggery," so hopefully being in a relationship will make him shape up. Just don't expect either Gomez or Bieber to talk about their rekindled love in any interviews -- that's off limits.

Features Protected: Whited's milkvetchEcoregion: Columbia Plateau (Chelan County)
Site DescriptionThis 320-acre preserve protects the largest known population of Whited's milkvetch, a state-listed "endangered" plant species that is found only within a 3-square-mile area. Situated in the arid mountains southeast of Wenatchee, this site is dominated by a native shrub and bunchgrass (shrub-steppe) ecosystem that is recovering from past land uses. The drainage that flows through the site carries water seasonally and is subject to torrential flows during spring. The loggerhead shrike, a bird species known to be highly dependent on shrub-steppe habitat, is also known to frequent this area.

United States Patent Inventors Edmund J. Thelen Deerfield; Robert H. King, Evanston, Ill. Appl. No. 795,647 Filed Jan. 31, 1969 Patented May 25, 1971 Assignee Packaging Corporation of America Evanston, Ill.
SANITARY PACKAGE 5 Claims, 6 Drawing Figs.
U.S. Cl 229/14, 229/51, 229/17 Int. Cl 865d 5/56, B65d 17/00 Field of Search 229/5 1 (TS), (TC), 17, 14 (BE), 14(BA); 206/57 Primary Examiner-Davis T. Moorhead Attorney-Pendleton, Neuman, Williams & Anderson ABSTRACT: A sanitary package is provided with a reclosable cover to facilitate dispensing of a product therefrom. The package includes a foldable outer carton having a reclosable cover defined on the top panel thereof and a sealed productaccommodating bag disposed within the carton and affixed thereto.
SANITARY PACKAGE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various sanitary packages have heretofore been provided which because of certain design characteristics are beset with one or more shortcomings. For example, once the prior sanitary package was opened, the package could not be readily and effectively reclosed and as a result the product became easily soiled. Generally, the initial opening of a prior package of this character was an awkward and frustrating operation requiring the use of scissors, a knife or the like and resulted in numerous instances in substantial mutilation or defacement of the package. Oftentimes the prior package, particularly where cotton was the product being packaged, took the form of a compressed roll which was clumsy to handle and difficult to remove a selected amount of cotton therefrom. In other instances the forming and loading of the package was a complicated, time consuming and expensive operation. Lastly, the prior structures were frequently ineffective in maintaining the sterile character of the accommodated product prior to the original opening of the package.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Thus, it is an object of this invention to provide a sanitary package which overcomes the aforementioned shortcomings associated with the prior structures.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a sanitary package which is capable of being readily setup and loaded by automatic or semiautomatic equipment.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a sanitary package which may be manually opened without difficulty and without the need for special tools and yet, is capable of preserving the sanitary condition of the product when subjected to normal handling before its initial opening.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a sanitary package which is attractive in appearance and of sturdy construction.
Further and additional objects will appear from the description, accompanying drawings and appended claims.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a sanitary package is provided which includes an outer foldable carton and a sealed product-accommodating bag disposed within the carton and affixed thereto. The carton has a top panel which has formed thereon a reclosable cover defined by a pair of spaced elongated first cuts on the exposed surface of the panel and by a pair of spaced elongated second cuts on the concealed surface of the panel. The depth of cut of the first and second cuts is less than the thickness of the carton materi al. The spacing between the first cuts is greater than the spacing between the second cuts and the second cuts are registered between the first cuts. Disposed within the outer carton is a sealed product-accommodating bag. Formed on one surface portion of the bag is a weakening score such as a cut which defines a tonguelike member. The tonguelike member is smaller in size than the reclosable cover and is affixed to the concealed surface of the latter and thus, movable therewith. A segment of the bag surface which encircles, but is spaced from, the periphery of the tonguelike member is afi'ixed to the carton interior surface by a continuous band of adhesive.
For a more complete understanding of the invention, reference is made to the drawings wherein:
FIG. I is a perspective top view of one form of the improved sanitary package prior to the latter being initially opened;
FIG. 2 is similar to FIG. I but showing the reclosable cover in an open position;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary perspective top view showing the reclosable cover in a partially reclosed position;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of one form of the carton blank showing the interior or concealed surface thereof;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the product-accommodating bag in inverted position on a forming mandrel and showing the location of a weakening score and adhesive stripe on a portion of the bag surface and with the carton in partially embracing relation therewith; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the improved package subsequent to being loaded and with the loading end of the carton shown in a partially closed condition.
DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawings, an improved package 10 is shown which is particularly suitable for the sanitary packaging of sterile products such as cotton or cotton balls, gauze pads, etc. The package 10 in the illustrated embodiment includes a bag 11 formed of suitable plastic or treated paper. The bag 11 is closed at opposite ends, preferably by heat sealing subsequent to loading thereof. The bag 11 is disposed within a foldable carton 12, preferably of the seal end typc.
One form of carton blank 13 is shown in FIG. 4, which is preferably formed of paperboard and includes a bottom panel 14, a top panel 15, a first narrow side panel 16 separating the bottom and top panels and foldably connected thereto, and a second narrow side panel 17 foldably connected to the side edge of the bottom panel 14 opposite the first side panel 16. An elongated extension flap 18 is foldably connected to the side edge of the top panel 15 opposite the first side panel 16. Flap I8 cooperates with the second side panel 17 to form a manufacturer's joint 19, see FIG. 6, when the blank 13 is set up to form a carton. To the opposite end edges of the top, bottom and side panels are foldably connected closure flaps 20, 21, 22 and 23 which are adapted to be secured in overlapping relation so as to close off the ends of the carton subsequent to the bag being loaded, see FIG. 6.
The top panel 15 is provided with a cover 24 which is defined on the exposed surface of panel 15 by a first set of partial cuts 25 which extend angularly across the top panel from the first side panel 16 to the extension flap 18. The cover 24 is defined on the concealed surface of the top panel 16 by a second set of partial cuts 26. The cuts 25 and 26, in both instances, have a depth of cut which is less than the thickness of the sheet material from which the blank 13 is made. In the illustrated embodiment, the cuts comprising each set extend convergently from the first side panel 16. Formed in extension flap 18 is a pair of tear lines or cuts 27 which are aligned with the ends of the first set of cuts 25 and extend angularly across the extension flap 18 so as to define a finger tab 28.
The spacing between the cuts 25 comprising the first set is greater than the spacing between the cuts 26 of the second set. Thus, the spacing differential between the respective cuts of the sets provides a border 30 which serves as a barrier against infestation and foreign matter finding its way into the carton interior prior to the initial opening of the cover. When the cover 24 is initially opened, the fibers forming the center stratum of the blank paperboard material are pulled apart so that a first portion 13a thereof will adhere to the cover and a second portion 13b thereof will remain with the portion of the top panel 16 circumjacent the access opening 31 formed therein when the cover is initially opened, see FIG. 2.
The finger tab 28 serves a dual function: (a) it facilitates initial opening of the cover; and (b) it facilitates retention of the cover in its reclosable position, see FIG. 3. When the manufacturers joint is formed, the adhesive in the vicinity of the finger tab 28 may be omitted entirely or only spots 17a of adhesive may be utilized; thus, enabling the tab 28 to be readily separated from the second side panel when a finger nail is placed behind the tab and then outward pressure applied. The reclosing steps will be described more fully hereinafter.
In one method of setting up the package 10, the bag, either seamless or formed with a side seam, is initially formed in a conventional manner with one end lla thereof closed by heat sealing or adhesive. The open end bag is then inverted and placed over an upright mandrel 32, see FIG. 5. While the bag is so positioned, a cut 33 of substantially U-shape is formed in one face of the bag and defines the ultimate access opening therein through which the accommodated product can be removed when the cover is moved to its open position. The configuration of the access opening defined by the cut 33 closely approximates the access opening 31 formed in the top panel by partial cuts 26.
Subsequent to the cut 33 being applied to the bag 11, a continuous stripe of adhesive 34 is applied to either the exposed surface of the bag, see FIG. 5, or to the concealed surface of the carton so as to completely encircle the access opening which is defined by cut 33. It is important that a continuous encircling bond be attained between the bag and the interior surface of the carton so that said bond will serve as a barrier against infestation and the like occurring between the ends of the carton and the cut 33 formed in the bag. It should be noted that the continuous stripe of adhesive 34 is spaced from the perimeter of the access opening in the bag so that there will be no interference with the bag when the cover 24 is initially opened. it is also important that the portion of the bag adjacent the narrow end of the access opening be free from the second side panel ll7 at ll7a so that the bag and side panel portion 170 will cooperate with one another so as to form a pocket into which the finger tab 28 is frictionally placed when the cover is moved to its reclosed position, see FIG. 3; and thus, the cover is retained in its closed position.
Adhesive 35 is placed on the tonguelike portion 11b of the bag H which is delimited by the U-shaped cut 33. Subsequent to the cut 33, adhesive stripe 34 and adhesive 35 being applied to the inverted, mandrel-accommodated bag 11, the blank 13 is folded and partially set up about the bag while it is still in position on the mandrel 32. Care is to be exercised so as to align the tonguelike portion 11b of the bag between the cuts 26 of the second set formed in the top panel of the carton. Pressure is then applied to the exposed surface of the carton so as to effect the necessary bond between the bag and the interior surface of the carton. Additional portions of the bag, aside from that in the vicinity of the cut 33, may be adhesively secured to the carton, if desired (e.g., to the interior of back panel 14), so that the bag will remain in its proper relative position with the carton during and subsequent to loading.
While the inverted bag and the encompassing carton are still in position on the mandrel 32, one end of the carton is sealed closed, whereupon the carton and bag are removed therefrom, inverted to an upright position and then the product loaded through the respective open ends of the carton and bag. After the loading has taken place, the remaining open end of the bag is sealed closed by the application of heat or adhesive and the respective open end of the carton sealed closed by the closure flaps 2023, see FIG. 6.
ln a second method of setting up the package, the bag is formed about the mandrel 32 by folding a sheet of suitable material thereabout, securing the overlapping side edges so as to form a tube. The cut 33 is formed in the sleeve in a manner as previously described. While the ends of the tubelike bag remain open, the carton blank is folded into encompassing relation about the bag in manner as previously described. Prior to the carton blank being folded about the bag tube, stripes of adhesive may be applied to either the carton surface or the bag surface in manner as aforedescribed. The tubular bag and carton are then removed from the mandrel for either storage in a collapsed condition or are transferred to a setup station, not shown.
The configuration of the carton 112, bag 111 and the cover 24 and its location on panel may be varied from that illustrated so as to more effectively accommodate a particular product and facilitate the dispensing thereof. The sanitary package heretofore described is suitable for accommodating products such as medical supplies, or various types of food and the like.
Thus, an improved sanitary package has been provided which is of simple construction, may be readily opened without the need for a knife, scissors, or other similar tools, is attractive in appearance, effective in operation and capable of being effectively reclosed.
While various embodiments of the invention have heretofore been described, it is to be understood, of course, that the invention is not limited thereto, but further modifications are contemplated and it is intended by the appended claims to cover such modifications.
We claim: h l. A sanitary package comprising an outer carton formed of foldable sheet material and a product-accommodating bag disposed within said carton and sealed independently thereof; said carton including top and bottom panels arranged in spaced registered relation, side and end panels foldably interconnecting corresponding peripheral portions of said top and bottom panels, the exposed surface of said top panel being provided with a pair of elongated spaced first cuts extending thereacross and defining a hinged reclosable cover, said first cuts being spaced inwardly from the foldable connections between said top panel and said end panels, said cover being defined on the concealed surface of said top panel by a pair of elongated spaced second cuts, the spacing between said second cuts being less than that of said first cuts whereby said second cuts are disposed between said first cuts, the depth of each cut being less than the thickness of said sheet material; said bag having a side thereof adjacent said carton top panel provided with a cut which defines a hinged tonguelike member having the hinge axis thereof substantially aligned with the hinge axis of said reclosable cover, said tonguelike member being affixed to the concealed surface of said cover and being movable therewith, said tonguelike member being smaller area than said reclosable cover, said bag having an exterior portion of said side circumjacent said tonguelike member and the hinge-axis therefor affixed by a continuous unbroken bond to the carton interior surface.
2. The package of claim 1 wherein said carton top panel has foldably connected to the periphery thereof an extension flap which is affixed to the edge of said reclosable cover opposite the hinge axis for said cover, said extension flap overlying the exterior of one side panel; said extension flap being provided with a pair of third cuts defining a finger tab which is releasably affixed to said one side panel exterior and is foldably connected to and carried by said top panel reclosable cover.
3. The package of claim 2 wherein said finger tab is positionable behind and in frictional engagement with said one side panel when said cover is in its reclosed position.

Arizona bears the brunt of the country's illegal immigration problem. Its citizens feel themselves under siege by large numbers of illegal immigrants who invade their property, strain their social services, and even place their lives in jeopardy. Federal officials have been unable to remedy the problem, and indeed have recently shown that they are unwilling to do so. Thousands of Arizona's estimated 400,000 illegal immigrants—including not just children but men and women under 30—are now assured immunity from enforcement, and will be able to compete openly with Arizona citizens for employment.
Arizona has moved to protect its sovereignty—not in contradiction of federal law, but in complete compliance with it. The laws under challenge here do not extend or revise federal immigration restrictions, but merely enforce those restrictions more effectively. If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign State.

Okay followed your instructions I guess I will have to wait until I go home to see that wireless is removed and than try to reconnect it but when I went to CMD/powershell and typed netsh wlan show profiles the wireless still showed up. Sigh, why make it so hard Microsoft?
Posted 02 December 2013 - 19:01
My wireless keeps on saying limited connection but after doing a research for Manage Wireless Networks I realized it is no longer in Windows 8.1 but only through CMD which is lame because I tried the command to delete a wireless profile to re-add it back so the limited connection will go away but the command does not work for deleting one of my wireless connections.[/size]
Why is Microsoft making it harder to manage our wireless connections?[/size]
good question. They keep removing more and more wireless configuration things starting with 8 and the scaling back even more with 8.1.

Syrian military intervention by U.S. is tough sell, JU's Dr. Jeff Martin says on WJXT
Dr. Jeff Martin, associate professor of geography at Jacksonville University, said on WJXT-TV 4 on Sunday, Sept. 8, that convincing the public that the United States should take military action against Syria is a tough sell for President Barack Obama.
Martin, who was interviewed live at the WJXT studio on the television station's morning show, said he doesn't think that newly released videos of Syrian chemical warfare victims will necessarily help the president's case to strike the country's military targets.
The Syrian government has denied being behind chemical weapons attacks, which it blames on rebels.
The public is war-weary … certainly after the debacle of the Iraq war, where our intelligence was all wrong," said Martin, a graduate of West Point who served as a U.S. Army foreign affairs officer. "It's going to be difficult to convince the American public that our intelligence is … correct this time."
Here is a video of Martin's appearance on WJXT:

Salsa dancing OAP Paddy Jones has already been tipped to win Britain's Got Talent 2014.
The 79-year-old was chosen as Amanda Holden's golden buzzer act during this year's auditions meaning she's already made it through to the live shows.
Paddy wowed the judges on just the second day of auditions in Birmingham earlier this year as she was swung around by dance partner Nico Espinosa, 40, in a nimble routine.
Although Simon Cowell, being Simon, did originally buzz the pair just seconds into their audition.
According to The Sun newspaper, Paddy and Nico have previously won £80,000 after coming top in Spain's version of BGT.
Now More Talent host Stephen Mulhern reckons they're set to conquer Britain next.
"It took your breath away. She's so fit like a gymnast, yet she's nearly 80," he told the newspaper. "I think she could win it."
Earlier this week a confident Amanda said of Paddy: "I think my Golden Buzzer choice is going to definitely finish in the top three."
She joked: "And if it wins I said to Simon, does that mean I win a holiday or something?"
Found in the centre of the judges' desk, the golden buzzer is a new twist on this year's audition show which, when pressed, will send the act on stage straight through to the live shows.
However the button can only be used once by each judge throughout the whole of the auditions.
Britain's Got Talent 2014 will start on ITV on April 12, it was confirmed earlier this week.

A portrait of a studio photographer, Her + Him VAN LEO also examines the photography of the 1940s and 50s from a critical perspective rather than a nostalgic one. This documentary utilizes traditional portrait photography and video in a dialogue between two media: crafted black and white print, and the electronically colored and manipulated screen. This dialog comments on the transformations in art practices and terminologies, and evokes some of the social/urban/political transformations that took place in Egypt over 50 years of its recent history.

George Whittell, Jr.
09-28-1881 to 04-18-1969
George Whittell Jr. was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He inherited $30 Million dollars from his San Francisco family. His father. George Sr. made much of his money by investing in the Comstock Lode in Nevada. He grew up in a Nob Hill mansion at 1155 California St. across the street from the Charles Crocker mansion, the mansion is no longer there. George Jrs father got him into the Italian Red Cross during WWI as a Captain and ambulance driver. Whittells third marriage was to the daughter of the third richest San Francisco family in 1919.
Whittell was able to turn the $30 million dollar inheritance in the stock market to $50 million dollars before divesting himself of all stocks prior to the 1929 Crash, making him one of Californias richest. This all happened prior to Whittells 50 birthday. Norman H. Biltz "The Duke of Nevada" offered Whittell the real estate deal of the century 33,000 acres of the Nevada portion of Lake Tahoe. This was all the real estate from Crystal Bay to Zephyr Cove owned by the Carson Tahoe Lumber and Flume Co. Whittell acquired this real estate for approximately $2,700,000 or $81.00 per acre in 1936. (MapofTahoe.com)
Whittell promised Biltz he was going to develop the real estate and he would pay him commissions as he did, that did not happen. The only sales that occurred were the Skyland Subdivison to the Stockton Garden of Homes, all the land to the John "Jack" Dreyfus Estate which the USFS now owns and has never opened it up to the public, the Zephyr Cove Lodge to Gene Emphey which the USFS also owns now Whittell also gave Douglas County the land on both sides of Warrior Way. for the schools and a park across Hwy. 50.
Thunderbird Yacht
George Whittell liked the name Thunderbird it was the name for his lodge at Tahoe that Frederic Delongchamps a well know Reno architect designed his yacht and his DC-2 airplane. Whittell had the yacht designed to resemble the fuselage of his airplane. The Thunderbird yacht was designed by John L Hacker a very well know boat designer and built by Huskins Boat Works in Bay City Michigan The yacht was 55 feet long built with double planked mahogany and polished stainless steel It was powered by twin V12, 550 HP Kermath engines giving the yacht the power to achieve a speed of 60 knots almost 70 mph. The yacht cost $87.000 to build in 1940, Whittell was 59 years old. This was another toy for Whittell's life style at Lake Tahoe. An expensive yacht like this required a boathouse which Whittell had built at the Thunderbird Lodge. The boathouse is 100 feet long, there is a 600 foot tunnel with a dungeon that connects it to the lodge so that Whittell and his guests could get to the yacht without being exposed to the weather day or night and there were nights that Whittell was partying.
He did not not get to use it very much Whittell broke his hip, instead of going to doctors to have it fixed he let it heal improperly putting himself into a wheel chair. To add to his toys Whittell owned 6 Duesenbergs, this is one of them. Between his health issues and hiding the yacht so the United States did not take it to use in the war effort. Whittell wanted Bill Harrah to buy the yacht because he knew Harrah could afford to take care of it. At the time he sold the yacht to Harrah the engines only had hours on them 98.
The Thunderbird while owned by Bill Harrah under went some major remodeling. Harrah added the flying bridge. He created the cocktail lounge style booths on the main deck. Even though the engines on the Thunderbird only were almost new they were not fast enough for Harrah. He installed 2 1100 Horsepower Allison V-12 aircraft engines. Harrah took the Thunderbird to Reno every winter to be worked on. On one of those trips the polished steel top was taken off by the over pass in Washoe Valley on Hwy. 395.
George and Elia Whittell also owned a home in Woodside, California. Whittell married this wife in 1919. Until 1929 this was their only home. The home was built on 50 acres of land in San Mateo County by George Whittell, Sr. The house and real estate were valued at $333,000. The home was a large 2 story, with a 6 car garage, servants, cottages, dairy buildings, a theater, gate keepers lodge, and a swimming pool. This property was owned by Whittel Realty Co. a private corporation, which he leased the house from for $750 per month. The company also owned many other sustantial commercial properties in San Francisco.
Elia Whittellspent most of her time at this residence because she did not approve of George's life style. Many of Whittell's animals were kept here during Tahoe's winters. There was also an elephant house for Whittle's 2 ton India elephant named Mango. Whittle was also known to have a couple of cats including a lion named Bill.
George Whittell, Jr. was buried in Coloma, CA, at the Cypress Hill Cemetery in 1969. John "Jack" Dreyfus the founder of the Wall Street Dreyfus Fund, known as the Lion, acquired the Thunderbird Lodge and 10,000 acres from Whittell's estate. He then started making changes to the Lodge in 1985 to make it more to his liking unfortunately. When he died in 1995 his estate sold the Thunderbird Lodge and his Zephyr Cove estate to the USFS.
