One for the boys
Although this layout look quite simple there are a few techniques going on. I have lightly misted the background, then stamped some Waltzing Mouse chevron with Versamark. I then placed some old Hambly and Pink Paisley rub-ons. For the title I traced around chipboard letters onto patterned paper, I hand cut them and then outlined them with a black pen. I mounted my photograph on white cardstock and then placed it on the page with some foam pads. I finished the layout with my journaling. I was inspired by old vintage rock T-shirt for the overall design. I hope this inspired you!

Honoring King Mampuru II and his Dream of Freedom
Scientology Volunteer Ministers join thousands in Limpopo January 25 in tribute to the legacy of His Majesty King Mampuru II.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers African Goodwill Tour was honored to join the thousands paying tribute to the memory and heritage of King Mampuru II January 25 at the annual Mampuru Day celebration.
Once described by Nelson Mandela as the nation's first freedom fighter, Mampuru II was assassinated in 1883 for leading a campaign of resistance against colonial rule. Coming full circle 130 years later, in April 2013 the Pretoria Correctional Facility, the prison where he was executed, was officially renamed King Mampuru Management Area.
South African President Jacob Zuma has described King Mampuru II in these terms: "Our history of struggle is enriched by tales of heroic traditional leaders who refused to be cowed by colonial regimes. They fought with everything in their possession to protect their land and people from systematic repression spanning centuries, which stripped the indigenous people of our country of all human dignity, decency, and human rights."
It was in that same tradition of respect for the rights of the people of South Africa that the country's lead Volunteer Minister addressed the distinguished traditional leaders and more than 30,000 gathered in Limpopo to celebrate Mampuru Day 2014. He pledged the commitment of all Scientology Volunteer Ministers of South Africa to help fulfil Mampuru II's legacy, by providing training and one-on-one help to guarantee the freedom and dignity of the people of South Africa.
The Volunteer Ministers met with many traditional leaders. They conducted seminars, including one specifically arranged for sangomas—traditional tribal healers—in technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard that helps locate and relieve the factors that can predispose a person to illness or injury.
All were welcomed to visit the bright yellow tent and learn about the program or take advantage of the help of a Volunteer Minister to resolve any problem in their life.
The Volunteer Ministers program was expressly intended for use by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike. Anyone of any culture or creed may train as a Volunteer Minister and use these tools to help their families and communities. And all are welcome to do so.
Equipped with effective technology to resolve virtually any difficulty, Volunteer Ministers live by the motto: "No matter the problem, something can be done about it."
Transcending all ethnic, cultural and religious boundaries, the Volunteer Ministers program is there for anyone in need of help. Volunteer Ministers training is available free of charge through the Scientology Volunteer Ministers website to anyone who wishes to help others.
The Church of Scientology has published a new brochure, Scientology How We Help: Scientology Volunteer Ministers—Something Can be Done About It,, to meet requests for more information about the program. To learn more or read a copy of the brochure, visit the Scientology website.
In creating the Volunteer Ministers program, L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a Volunteer Minister and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance."

By Bill Althaus
Jon David, the general manager of the new Fenton Nissan in Blue Springs wants to make an impact in his community.
"I started in the car business in Dallas 20 years ago," David said, "and it's ironic that now I'm working for the Fenton family here in Blue Springs and they started their automotive business in Oklahoma in 1950 and expanded to Dallas, Texas, with their home base in Tyler.
"I never knew them when I was working in Dallas, but now I know the family and they are special people – and this is going to be a special dealership in the Blue Springs community."
The former McCarthy Nissan dealership at 30303 South Outer Road is now part of the Fenton group that has holdings in Texas and Oklahoma and three area sites – Blue Springs, Lee's Summit and the Northland at Tiffany Springs.
"When you walk in our door, you're going to notice the difference," David said. "We want to be involved in this community. We want to be a part of this community. We are customer friendly and we promise to offer the best service and overall experience of any dealership in the state.
"That's how father and son Brad and Lance Fenton built their business and that's how we're going to build this dealership in Blue Springs."
Showing he's serious about becoming part of the community, recently David's Fenton dealership donated $200 for every Blue Springs High School football touchdown and $100 for every first down. All the money went to Blue Springs High.
"Eight touchdowns in the first half and nine total and I don't even remember how many first downs that night," David said chuckling, as the Class 6 state champions scored a season-high 63 points in a 63-21 state quarterfinal win over Lee's Summit at Peve Stadium, "but it was a big night, and we were proud to be a part of it."
The night did pose a memorable family moment for David and his 11-year-old daughter Riley, who greeted her father at the door when he arrived home.
"She was watching the game on TV and saw the score and all the touchdowns and first downs, and she said, 'Daddy, are you going to get fired for giving all that money away?'" David said. "I told her that daddy was going to be fine. It was just a great night. We had a banner at the stadium, we drove one of our cars out on the field and I'd never seen that many people at a high school game.
"An event like that is taking it back to the grassroots, and that's what we're going to do here at Fenton."
As David talks about the impact he wants to make on the community, sales manager Keith Snyder pops into the office and talks about the impact the Fenton family has made on the workers at the dealership.
"The Fentons are the most positive people I've ever worked with," Snyder said. "If you have a bad month, well, they say, 'You had a bad month, go out and have a better one.' You don't find a lot of people like that in the auto business.
"You don't find many people like that in any business. They're just the best."
And David believes the same can be said about his Nissan product.
"Safety, No. 1," David said, when asked about the Nissan line. "They're built in the United States in Smyrna, Tenn., affordable, classy and when you buy a car from Fenton, we offer lifetime free oil changes and a great service department.
"All we ask is that you give us a try. We'll take it from there."

How to make sure your pack fits in 4 easy steps
Your JanSport pack is engineered for peak performance on the trail and off. Understanding the technology behind the features lets you make the most of your pack.
Torso Length
Measuring your torso is simple, and you'll probably need some assistance. Using a soft tape measure, measure the length from the seventh vertebrae (creates a bump at the base of your neck) along the curve of your spine to your iliac crest. (the top of your hip bones). JanSport fit ranges are listed by pack. Once you know your torso length select the appropriate pack within your range.
Waist belt
Load the pack with 20-30 lbs. You can use anything to load the pack, water bottles work pretty well . . . just be sure they have water in them. Once you have weight in the pack put it on. Lean forward and tighten the waist belt. Remember your illiac crest? To fit the waist belt properly your illiac crest should be about right in middle of the waist belt. Another way to determine waist belt fit is the waist belt buckle should be about right over your belly button.
Shoulder straps and Load lifter straps
After you have the waist belt snug you'll want to adjust the shoulder straps and load lifters. Leave the sternum strap loose and tighten your shoulder straps; the easiest way to do this is pull down and back on the webbing at the bottom of the strap. The point where the shoulder strap attaches to the pack should extend no more than 1-2 inches below the top of your shoulder and wrap snugly around your shoulder. When this is snug tighten the load lifter straps. You may need to adjust the load lifters so when you tighten them they pull up and lift the load. Use the slider on top of the shoulder strap to adjust the load lifter. Load lifter straps should be snug. Don't tighten them so much that they pull the shoulder strap up off your shoulder. The top of the shoulder strap and load lifter strap should create a 45 degree angle when properly adjusted.
Sternum Strap and Waist belt stabilizer straps
The sternum strap should be located in a comfortable position across your chest. Ideally this will be just below your clavical. Again keep this snug, if you over-tighten it could interfere with your breathing. Finally, you'll want to snug the stabilizer strap on your waist belt. This brings the load in tighter to your back.
Each of these adjustments will be fine tuned further as you hike. You can shift the load from your shoulders to your hips and vice versa. Also, adding and removing layers will require minor adjustments. Adjusting the load as you hike is a great way to stay comfortable.
How to Wash / Clean a JanSport Backpack?
Our backpacks are hand wash only. You can spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash and then air or line dry. Please do not use detergent or bleach.
Learn how to properly pack and stow everything you need for a multiday hike in a way that balances your equipment and helps you manage the load.
Loading and packing your pack is key to carrying your load comfortably. Learn how to load your pack in four easy steps.
First, fill the bottom of your pack with your lightest gear. This is great place for your sleeping bag, down jacket and/or tent. You can also fill this area with clothes you know you will not need during the day.
Second, the main pack bag should be packed so that heavy items like cook gear and food are in the middle and close to your back, lighter weight items on the outside.
Third, the lightest items and items you'll need quick access to during the day like rain gear and lunch should be packed last and at the top of the pack. The pack lid is also a great place to store items that are small and need to be accessed quickly. Your goal is to get "everything"in the pack bag. You'll be more comfortable and your stuff more secure this way.
Finally, once you've got everything packed, use the compression straps to compress and snug the load tightly as possible to keep things from moving around while you hike.y to stay comfortable.

I visited the former Quinsigamond Firehouse on Blackstone River Road recently for a story I wrote about a local contracting company, Capstone General Contracting Inc., which plans to renovate the 121-year-old building into its new offices.
If you've ever renovated an old building, you know that they are full of surprises. Occasionally, someone finds an envelope stuffed with Civil War-era cash, or a long-lost piece of art. But usually, those surprises are simply expensive add-ons to the cost of the project: asbestos insulation, PCB-laden window caulking, and the like.
According to the Worcester Fire Department's unofficial historian, retired Lt. Donald Courtney, here are some of the surprises that Capstone owners Charbel and Michelle Najem of Northboro might find under the floorboards and in the basement.
Lt. Courtney, who worked at what was then called the Millbury Street Fire Station from 1984 to 1989, said the building has many quirks. My favorite is the pair of horse stalls, which are a throw-back to the days when the fire station housed a horse-drawn carriage. Lt. Courtney told me that the horse stalls had a real forward-looking feature: They had drains at one end, with pipes that lead directly into the city's sewer system. Firefighters could — back in day of course — hose horse dung directly down the drain.
There is also this huge tub in the basement, in which firefighters would place the wet and dirty cotton hoses they used. After they washed the hoses off, they would hang them in two-story drying towers that were also part of the building. This tub and the drying towers became obsolete when cotton hoses were replaced with synthetic, which did not require the same amount of cleaning and drying.
Neighborhood legend says that firefighters working at the Quinsigamond Firehouse later used the tub to raise bait shiners and minnows, which they sold to locals in the know out of the back of the firehouse. Lt. Courtney could not confirm that.
The window where hay was brought into the building's second floor is still there. A hook that once dangled from a brace on the building was used to pull up bales of hay. The hook is long gone, but the brace remains.
Lt. Courtney is pretty sure some coal still remains in the building. There is a giant coal bin in the basement, which was filled with coal used to heat the fire station. The coal was poured into the bin via a coal chute, the mouth of which is still visible in the side of the building. The coal was never taken out, Lt. Courtney said, even after the station's heating system was converted to oil. Maybe that coal has turned to diamonds by now!
When I took a tour of the building, Charbel Najem told me that the building's air raid siren still works. You've got to apply some muscle to turn the rusty crank a few times, he told me, but he promised that the old siren could be heard.
Lt. Courtney also told me that wire from the old American Steel & Wire Co. factory — the wire that once connected to the fire alarm system of the huge factory building that once took up city block after city block where Walmart now stands — is still visible from the outside.
American Steel & Wire even had its own private firehouse, just outside the massive main factory building on Ballard Street. The firehouse even had a piece of fire apparatus, but was not manned, per se. American Steel & Wire employees, a special firefighting team, would leave their posts and respond to a fire in the factory in the apparatus, if necessary.
For the most part, though, public fire stations were built near the large mill buildings so that trained firefighters would be as close to some of the largest factories as possible.
That has changed, of course, as modern firefighters are expected to be the first responders, not some machinists who are working in the building.
While Saint-Gobain, with its huge factory on New Bond Street, once had employees trained as first responders, a spokeswoman says that has not been the case for some time.
"Saint-Gobain on New Bond Street works with the Worcester Fire Department, who provides training to its emergency response team related to fire and hazmat response as well as the proper use of fire extinguishers," said company spokeswoman Lauren Petit.
American Steel & Wire closed in 1971, but the company's firehouse stood until several years ago, when all of what was left was cleared away for Walmart.

Huskers Finish Strong, Earn Second Win
The Nebraska bowling team needed a strong last day of competition as the team won its second tournament in a row Sunday afternoon at the Prairie View A&M Invite in Arlington, Texas. The Huskers stifled Maryland Eastern Shore 4-1 in the final match of the tournament, capping off a tremendous day three performance.
Head Coach Bill Straub was impressed with the teams' performance Sunday, but noted that the tournament did not start out the way the team wanted it to.
"Luckily the tournament was a three day tournament because the first two days we struggled." Straub said, "We made some adjustments going into the final day that gave us a different view on some things, and ultimately gave us our confidence back."
Leading the way for the Huskers was sophomore Liz Kuhlkin. Kuhlkin finished third in the individual standings with an average game of 209.8, earning a spot on the all tournament team for the second time this season.
Straub was impressed with Kuhlkin's overall performance, as well as her intensity in the first two days of competition.
"Liz's performance through the first two days was tremendous; she really kept the team in it." Straub said.
Freshman Beth Hedley added another strong performance to her 2012-13 campaign, recording a game of 202 on the final day of competition. Hedley finished 22nd in the individual standings, bowling a five game average score of 183.4.
The Huskers finished finishing the weekend of competition with an overall record of 11-2, while finishing fourth in total team pinfall with 8442.
Check back here at Huskers.com for updates throughout the week as the Nebraska bowling team travels back to Arlington next weekend for the Southern University Invite. Competition begins Friday, and will end Sunday afternoon.

TRENTON - George F. Medary was 25 when he joined the Army. That was 1943.
On Oct. 7, 1944, he stood on Morotai, an island in the South Pacific about 300 miles northwest of New Guinea and more than 15,700 miles from New Jersey.
And the world exploded.
"I got caught in a bombing raid," the Jackson Township man said. "At least I didn't die. One of my buddies did."
Now 90, Medary was one of about 1,500 people who stood Tuesday in the dimming light of an autumn afternoon on a closed-off West State Street here as military and government dignitaries unveiled the state's memorial to the people who fought in World War II.
"It brings back memories. I lost some friends there," Medary said. It's "something we've been looking for. It's about time it (opened). We were looking for it."
Medary, commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart's Chapter 36 in Ocean County, said doctors grafted bone from his hip to his face to repair the damage he suffered. He spent the next three years moving from military hospital to hospital before being discharged in 1947.
State officials say more than 500,000 New Jersey residents served during World War II and about 90,000 of them still live here.
A state memorial to the world's bloodiest conflict had long been discussed. But the intervening years saw the dedication of Atlantic City's Korean War Memorial and a separate memorial to the Vietnam War, conflicts fought years after World War II.
New Jersey created the memorial commission in 1999, but plans lagged, and the initial $4.5 million budget rose to $7.6 million. Gov. Jon S. Corzine committed a year ago that it would be done by Veterans Day.
And so at 3:45 p.m., he and Major Gen. Glenn K. Rieth, commander of the New Jersey Army and Air National Guard, pulled down the red, white and blue banner and the audience saw the centerpiece: "Lady Victory," a 12-foot bronze sculpture on a 5-foot granite pedestal.
Speaking Tuesday, Corzine said he is proud to be in office when the memorial was completed. Now, he said, the thousands of fourth- and fifth-graders who stream through the Statehouse every year would also visit this park, directly across the street from the state Capitol.
Frank Cuccia, a veteran of the 13th Airborne Division, also presented the governor with an envelope containing the secret location and directions on opening two time capsules. The directions will be handed down from governors, to be opened in 2145, at the 200th anniversary of the war's conclusion.
Corzine also related the war's goal to the current war on terror. Almost 4,000 New Jersey National Guardsmen are now deployed, he said, the largest number since 1941.
Other speakers commemorated the soldiers, sailors, Marines and others who fought in the global conflict more than six decades ago.
"We must remember that Americans rose to greatness on the shoulders of our troops to preserve American peace and freedom," said Jack McGreevey, chairman of the memorial commission and father of former Gov. James E. McGreevey.
Arthur Seltzer raised a framed dollar bill that 36 other people in his unit signed before landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day. At the end of fighting, he and his sergeant were the only survivors.
"I guess God was with us that day," Seltzer said.
He said people need to remember that the fight against fascism cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., who served in the Army Signal Corps, recalled how it was "an ugly, united effort. Everyone was in it to make a difference."
But former Gov. Brendan Byrne, a decorated Army Air Corps pilot, said time may have passed but the memorial is a permanent reminder of the values for which it was fought.
"The war is a distant memory. It is a sentimental occasion I speak here," he said. "The war is gone, but the purposes we fought for are still being fought around the world."

The most-visited site
devoted to children's
health and development
Influenza — what most of us call "the flu" — is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract.
Flu season runs from October to May. It's best to get a flu vaccine as early in the season as possible, as it gives the body a chance to build up immunity to (protection from) the flu. But getting a flu vaccine later in the season is still better than not getting the vaccine at all.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends a flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older (instead of just certain groups, as was recommended before).
But it's especially important that those in higher-risk groups get vaccinated to avoid health problems as a result of the flu. They include:
Babies younger than 6 months can't get the vaccine, but if their parents, other caregivers, and older kids in the household get it, that will help protect the baby. This is important because infants are more at risk for serious complications from the flu.
Talk to your doctor about how many doses your child needs.
Different types of vaccines are available. One type (called trivalent) protects against three strains of the flu virus (usually, two types of influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus). Another (called quadrivalent) protects against four strains.
The vaccine is currently recommended to be given to kids by injection with a needle (the flu shot). It is safe and effective.
Although the flu vaccine also came in a nasal spray (or mist) form in the past, the nasal spray flu vaccine is not currently recommended.
Some vaccines are approved only for adults at this time, such as egg-free vaccines and intradermal shots, which are injected into the skin (instead of muscle) with a smaller needle.
Vaccine shortages and delays sometimes happen, so check with your doctor about availability.
While the flu vaccine isn't 100% effective, it still greatly reduces a person's chances of catching the flu, which can be very serious. It also can make symptoms less severe if someone does still get the flu after immunization.
Even if you or your kids got the flu vaccine last year, that won't protect you this year, because flu viruses constantly change. That's why the vaccine is updated each year to include the most current strains of the virus.
Sometimes the same strains are included in the vaccine one year after the next. In this case, it's still important to get a seasonal flu shot because the body's immunity against the influenza virus declines over time.
Usually given as an injection in the upper arm, the flu shot contains killed flu viruses that will not cause someone to get the flu, but can cause mild side effects like soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site. A low-grade fever and aches are also possible.
Very rarely, the flu vaccine can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Certain things might prevent a person from getting the flu vaccine. Talk to your doctor to see if the vaccine is still recommended if your child:
In the past, it was recommended that anyone with an egg allergy talk to a doctor about whether receiving the flu vaccine was safe because it is grown inside eggs. But health experts now say that the amount of egg allergen in the vaccine is so tiny that it is safe even for kids with a severe egg allergy. This is especially important during a severe flu season.
Still, a child with an egg allergy should get the flu shot in a doctor's office, not at a supermarket, drugstore, or other venue.
If your child is sick and has a fever, talk to your doctor about rescheduling the flu shot.
Check with your doctor to see if you can give either acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain and fever and to find out the appropriate dose.
A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad on the injection site may help reduce soreness, as can moving or using the arm.

Disney and FOSS: Fun and FUD in the Magic Kingdom?
Aug 27, 2012 5:00 AM PT
They say it's a small world after all, but in the Magic Kingdom, it appears to be a FUD-filled world as well.
How else to explain a recent episode of "Shake It Up" on the Disney Channel?
Asked to diagnose a misbehaving PC, a stereotypically geeky character asks, "Did you use open source code to save time and the virus was hidden in it?"
Much canned laughter ensued, of course -- as did widespread outrage throughout the FOSS community.
Happiest place on Earth? Might be time to change that to "Angriest" instead.
'Part of Apple's Marketing Department'
"Well, they are partners of Apple, aren't they?" Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol pointed out, for instance.
"I guess it is a 'lip service' Disney is doing for Apple to demonize free software, the real threat for the proprietary software companies," Ebersol added.
Indeed, "having two young children, I spend more time than I care to admit watching the Disney Channel," began Google+ blogger Linux Rants. "All technology at the Disney Channel that is 'good' is from Apple. Disney is practically part of Apple's marketing department."
'Disney Is in Apple's House'
In fact, "this isn't all that surprising when you consider Disney's purchase of Pixar in 2006," Linux Rants added. "At the time of his death, Steve Jobs was Disney's single largest shareholder and even sat on its board of directors."
Not only that, but "many of Disney's TV shows are only available digitally through iTunes, and several of its apps are iOS-only," he pointed out. "No, Disney is in Apple's house.
"While this particular incident may have been the work of some random writer and not some overall policy of Disney, I do think that this is the opinion that's prevalent at Disney," Linux Rants concluded. "This won't be the last we'll see of this kind of propaganda from them."
'This Is an Election Year'
Hyperlogos blogger Martin Espinoza was inclined to take a similar view.
"Disney is one of the world's largest media conglomerates," Espinoza pointed out. "This is of course an election year and a lot of money is being pumped into big media by the current candidates.
"Which companies receive political ad money and in what proportion will help determine the immediate future of the media market, so it's conceivable that media networks will pander to political parties by carrying their messages in programming other than commercial spots," he suggested. "In particular, ABC might like to get a bit of that revenue away from Fox."
'Maybe We're Overthinking This'
Since voters are watching more streaming media "and thus in theory seeing less political ads, they may well be seeking to distribute their messages by nontraditional means," Espinoza said.
"Disney clearly benefits from open source software, but it is possible that this tendency was driven by the merger with Pixar," he concluded.
On the other hand, "maybe we're just all overthinking this; it's possible that this is a combination of bad writing and worse editing, producing a completely nonsensical line of dialogue that the authors thought would sound amazingly hip," Espinoza added.
'Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and OS/2'
"It's not clear whether Disney's portrayal of FLOSS as virus-ridden is part of M$'s 'technological evangelism,' blogger Robert Pogson opined.
"Mopping up can be a lot of fun," Pogson explained. "In the mopping up phase, evangelism's goal is to put the final nail into the competing technology's coffin, and bury it in the burning depths of the earth.
"Ideally, use of the competing technology becomes associated with mental deficiency, as in, 'he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and OS/2'," Pogson pointed out. "Just keep rubbing it in, via the press, analysts, newsgroups, whatever. Make the complete failure of the competition's technology part of the mythology of the computer industry."
Of course, "FLOSS is succeeding wildly on a global scale, so Wintel has no victory," Pogson noted.
Nevertheless, "writers are very deliberate people, and the writer must have placed that line deliberately," he concluded. "It's a shame it got past management -- or did it? Perhaps some writer is about to be fired for alienating a lot of computer-geek kids in the audience."
Evil Mastermind or Plain Stupidity?
Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien was inclined to suspend judgment.
"I am not going to be too eager to jump to conclusions here," O'Brien told LinuxInsider. "While it may possibly turn out that someone at Disney is an evil mastermind of an anti-FOSS agenda, I am not at all sure this is the most likely answer."
Rather, "'Never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity' is a maxim I have lived by," O'Brien said. "Most likely it is some dumb screen-writer making a desperate attempt to look cool by using terms he has no understanding of."
'Just Disney Being Disney'
Indeed, "it's Disney," consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack pointed out. "How exactly do people expect them to come up with an original script?
"It's not as if they have ever been good at anything other than taking old fables and sanitizing the endings," Mack added. "Not a conspiracy -- it's just Disney being Disney."
And again: "Who listens to Disney?" asked Slashdot blogger hairyfeet. "The same company that has bribed congress how many times to hit the snooze alarm on the mouse becoming public domain?
"ALL software can have malware -- it doesn't matter if it's open, closed, shared, PD, you name it," hairyfeet added. "But listening to the mouse house? Please."

CARSON, Calif. -- Finally off the LA Galaxy injury list for the first time since June, Edison Buddle is targetting an expanded role in LA's match on Friday against the Colorado Rapids.
Buddle, who underwent right knee surgery in June, made his first appearance since May 26thduring the Galaxy's victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on September 1st. While the forward admits that he's still working his way back to full fitness, he believes that he can contribute against Colorado.
"I'm ready to play. I'm available and ready to play," Buddle said following Thursday's training session. "I think that my knee is about 90 percent. Fitness and strength are still to come with the last 10 percent though."
Buddle may not be completely healthy, but the forward has aspirations of re-gaining a spot in the Galaxy's starting XI.
"I think that it comes with training. I'm pushing hard each and every day in training and I will need to apply that to the games. I don't expect to go into the games right away unless something happens, but with these guys a little bit fitter than me right now, I have to push myself every day."

Students learn about the connections between organisms in the ocean in this kinesthetic activity. Each student is given a card, identifying an organism, its food source, and its predators. Holding the end of a ball of yarn firmly, the ball is passed from organism to organism as they are linked in the predator-prey food web. Once all students are connected in the food web, an extinction event is simulated by removing an organism. Those students remaining pull lightly on the web, to demonstrate how other organisms are affected by the loss. Students identify the impact of biodiversity loss throughout the food web. This activity is supported by a textbook chapter, One Global Ocean, part of the unit, Losing Biodiversity, in Global Systems Science (GSS), an interdisciplinary course for high school students that emphasizes how scientists from a wide variety of fields work together to understand significant problems of global impact.

4Terrain Heavy Duty Clutch Kit
Dimensions: 275mm x 21T x 29.8mm
4×4 systems need a higher torque capacity while retaining good pedal feel with fine modulation control. These characteristics inevitably increase heat which reduces service life. So the ideal 4×4 clutch system must also
have improved heat dissipation. 4Terrain cover assemblies are in themselves high clamp load covers providing increased clamping force as compared to standard product.
Spheroidal Graphite Castings: Approximately 300% stronger than a standard casting this material (sometimes referred to as an "Anti Burst" casting) not only increases strength by approx 3 times, it also improves heat dispersion.
This is especially necessary in 4WD applications where constant use of the clutch is highly likely and therefore high operating temperatures can be expected.
Comfortable Pedal: Importantly the 4Terrain system is designed to benefit you the driver. The unique combination of features delivers a high torque capacity clutch while also providing very comfortable pedal efforts, progressive modulation and good pedal feel.
Balanced Covers: To insure that the clutch system performs at maximum efficiency and that no unwanted vibration is generated as the cover spins, all 4Terrain cover assemblies undergo a 2 stage balancing process. Prior to
assembly the pressure plate is independently balanced. Then after final assembly, the entire cover is re-balanced. However, the cover assembly is only half the equation. It is only when combined with our 4Terrain clutch plate, a segmented clutch plate design which reduces the surface area upon which this force is distributed, that the full increase in Torque transmission capability is unleashed.
Segmented Clutch Plate Design: One side of the clutch plate incorporates a series of pressed organic segments specifically formulated in an Aramide compound, bonded to a H10 steel backing plate. Each Aramide segment is precision formed and bonded to ensure consistency in terms of surface area and weight distribution. The friction material itself was selected for its:
Long Life: 4Terrain Aramide material displays wear characteristic which are 50% lower than conventional material. This ensures long life and reduces collateral material contamination.
Less Fade: Fade is a term used to describe the drop in performance experienced in a clutch as the unit becomes heat affected. In serious 4WD applications high temperatures and therefore fade is common place. 4Terrain Aramide material reduces heat induced fade by almost 50% This feature combined with 4Terrains spheroidal graphite clutch pressure plate further improves the ability of 4Terrain to dissipate heat allowing the clutch to run cooler for longer.
Smooth Engagement, fine modulation control, extended service life, less fade,
increased torque capacity are all benefits of the unique 4Terrain clutch plate design.

In South Carolina, when the subject of favorite son Strom Thurmond and his illegitimate, biracial daughter comes up, the first thing you invariably hear is, "At least he took care of her." The comment pithily conceals as much as it backhandedly reveals. It has the same breezy effect as the knowing wink and the throaty chuckle. Like its brethren, it superimposes cordiality. It hints at a vague, unacknowledged understanding, but above all it maintains silence.
"At least" reveals that the speaker isn't blithely unaware of the carnality of the days of legalized segregation. The speaker has a not too indelicately explicit understanding that–as in most relations between conquerors and the conquered–white men leveraged their position to obtain sexual favors from black women. Some would say that all such relationships carry a stigma and should be characterized as rape. Others might hold out the possibility for deeper intimacies, despite the overwhelmingly lopsided pressures on black women. But the stories and their particulars aren't lingered upon. Like much else having to do with racism, lynching, civil rights-era violence and, yes, even slavery, it's a taboo subject, a vale of tears that many people feel is best left alone. That is why, when Strom Thurmond's secret daughter is spoken of, it's with the immediate interpolation that "at least" Thurmond was better than generations of white men who treated their illegitimate, biracial children with comparative ungenerosity.
The modern South is often admired for its courtesy, but the courtesy between the races that so often surprises Northerners reflects, in reality, a prickly truce, a bargain made in the aftermath of the painful civil rights battles of the not-too-distant past. These days segregationists are rarely held to task, so long as they never overtly promoted lynching. On tours of many of the historic plantation estates of Charleston, South Carolina, the word "slave" is carefully avoided; instead black slaves are described as "servants." History is evaded–sometimes overtly distorted–so as to avoid any confrontation over integration, white flight and the unfinished civil rights revolution. This brittle truce, unhealthy but functional, is at the heart of the social adjustment of the modern South.
A culture of silence exacts a heavy toll. It allows the strange coexistence of Confederate Memorial Day celebrations and Martin Luther King Day parades, of public buildings and bridges named after former segregationists and streets named after civil rights leaders. But it also entrenches attitudes, leaving vast segments of the population disillusioned, their anguish internalized, their expectations diminished. It may not influence day-to-day interaction between the races, but in the sphere of politics, a culture of silence siphons the energy for progressivism; it curtails discourse and emboldens reactionary conservatism.

White House: Syria Crossed 'Red Line' By Using Chemical Weapons On Its People
The U.S. has determined that the government of President Bashar al-Assad is using chemical weapons -- including the nerve agent sarin -- on civilians. In doing so, Syria has crossed a "red line," the White House said in a statement issued on Thursday. According to CNN, the U.S. will now be increasing its "scale and scope" for supporting opposition to al-Assad's government.
For some time, President Obama's administration has suspected that al-Assad's military was using chemical weapons. Now the U.S. is acknowledging the attacks, and deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes has said that more than 100 Syrians have died because of chemical weapons used by government forces.
"The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria to date," Rhodes said in the White House statement. "However, casualty data is likely incomplete."
He added that "while the lethality of these attacks make up only a small portion of the catastrophic loss of life in Syria, which now stands at more than 90,000 deaths, the use of chemical weapons violates international norms and crosses clear red lines that have existed within the international community for decades."
The administration seems to be leaning toward supporting the rebels, but didn't directly say it would be providing the opposition with firearms.
"Put simply, the Assad regime should know that its actions have led us to increase the scope and scale of assistance that we provide to the opposition, including direct support to the [rebel Supreme Military Council]. These efforts will increase going forward," Rhodes' statement said.
CNN wrote that during a conference call, Rhodes told reporters President Obama wasn't sure if a no-fly zone in Syria would be instituted. Al-Assad has claimed that the rebels were the ones using chemical weapons, even telling this to the United Nations. But when U.N. inspectors wanted to enter the country to validate the claims, he would not allow it, according to news reports.
As a result, the Obama administration believes it's al-Assad's forces who are in control of the chemical weapons and that there is "no reliable, corroborated reporting to indicate that the opposition in Syria has acquired or used chemical weapons," Rhodes' statement noted.
