History: About to start its fifth year, Spring Creek School is part of the Youthful Offend-ers Program at the Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward.
Working in conjunction with the Alaska Department of Corrections, the KPBSD provides the only regular high school program within a maximum-security prison in the nation.
Young felons up to age 21 can work toward a regular diploma with the help of individualized education plans and partnerships between the prison, the school and other educational institutions in the area.

Demographics: About 32 percent of the Spring Creek students are Caucasian, while 10 percent are African-American, 2 percent Hispanic, 5 percent Asian-Pacific Islan-der, 2 percent American Indian and 49 percent Alaska Native.
About 15 percent of the students experience disabilities, and 78 percent come from economically disadvantaged homes.
However, the student population is in constant transition as youth come in and out of the prison system.
Staffing: The school district provides four teachers and a half-time support person for Spring Creek School, while other institutions partner to provide drug and alcohol counseling, anger management classes and vocational education opportunities for students.
The teachers at the school have a combined average of more than three years experience with the district, most coming specifically to work with the young offenders.
AYP: The school did not make adequate yearly progress in 2002-03 with low participation and proficiency rates across the board.
In 2003-04, Spring Creek did make AYP, with almost all students taking the tests.
Though passing rates were low (42 percent for language arts and 25 percent for math), they did fall within the statistical "confidence interval," or margin of error, to allow the school to meet AYP.
Cocurricular: Students benefit from many programs designed to educate and rehabilitate them, but traditional sports and academic competitions are not among the options for Spring Creek students.
Registration: There is no registration period for the school.
Students are assigned to the program through the legal system.
Transportation: Students do not leave the corrections facility.

Jeremaia Soko mourns the loss of his son Vilikesa Soko in Lautoka yesterday.
Picture: BALJEET SINGH
THE family of a robbery suspect who died in hospital after his arrest is demanding answers from the Fiji Police Force, which has found itself at the centre of brutality allegations.
Vilikesa Ratu Soko, manager of the Saioni Rugby Club, was among suspects taken in by police last weekend in connection with the $50,000 daylight robbery at the City Forex Nadi branch.
Police said the 30-year-old father of three died at 7.30pm on Wednesday at the Lautoka Hospital's intensive care unit.
His grieving family is not convinced by police claims he was not beaten.
Commissioner of Police Ben Groenewald said the deceased was known to be sickly, had refused to take medication during his stay at the hospital and had internal bleeding.
His father, Jeremaia Soko, said his son was not sickly but had visible injuries to his body.
"This is the greatest tragedy of my life," a tearful Mr Soko said outside the mortuary yesterday.
He said it was after 9pm on Sunday when he received a phone call from the brother of another suspect who was hospitalised.
"I came down on Tuesday to see him. I still had hope. He is my fourth son, named after my father and we were close. My wife is a stroke patient and I had to leave her behind to tend to our son. He was only 30 and this is shocking."
Relatives of the deceased gathered at the hospital with his wife. Their daughters, aged seven, five and three, remained in Suva.
"We don't know what to tell his children, they have been asking for him. They are all girls and were close their father. He was in Lautoka to look for work," he added.
A statement from police confirmed the death and said a senior officer had been tasked by the Police Commissioner to investigate the matter.
A relative said they relied on the sympathy of medical staff to visit Vilikesa earlier in the week, claiming police barred visitations to the suspects in hospital.
Relatives said injuries included major swelling and bruises to the body and eyes.
They claimed that despite being on life support and drifting in and out of consciousness, Vilikesa was handcuffed to his bedside table.

Right Lane: Bob Gallio Runs 5.958/235.15, Now #14; Best prior run: 6.021/226.13, Was #15
ake took out the timing reflector on his first attempt. This one turned out better, but he still battled tire shake. Gallio moved into the fives and away from the bump spot.
Left Lane: Mike Bell No Time, Now #15; Best prior run: 5.996/240.42, Was #15
Right Lane: Hank Coolidge Runs 5.707/252.99, Now #3; Best prior run: 5.880/247.07, Was #11
Bell broke on the burnout, leaving a small trail of oil on the launch pad.
Left Lane: John Patton Runs 7.240/131.81, Now #10; Best prior run: 5.839/249.03, Was #10
Right Lane: Brian Hough Runs 6.101/187.36, Now #5; Best prior run: 5.733/254.62, Was #5
Patton's engine went silent about 300 feet out. Hough had problems on the top end after running 194 mph at half track and it sounded like the throttle was hung open in the shutdown area, but he got it stopped okay.
Left Lane: Brandon Lewis Runs 9.797/111.24, Now #23; No Prior Run
Right Lane: Mark Woznichak Runs 5.894/246.71, Now #13; Best prior run: 6.191/243.33, Was #16
Lewis' car shook and skated toward the centerline, then he lifted. Nice run by "The Woz" to get off the bump spot.
Left Lane: Tate Branch Runs 5.927/248.16, Now #15; Best prior run: 16.174/58.73, Was #28
Right Lane: Dennis Taylor Runs 5.650/252.28, Now #1; Best prior run: 5.655/252.57, Was #1
Branch's car also skated toward the centerline, but he was able to pedal and save it. Meanwhile, Taylor improved his grip on the top spot on a nice-looking run.
Left Lane: Jay Payne Runs 5.638/256.11, Now #1; Best prior run: 5.706/255.24, Was #2
Right Lane: John Weaver Runs 5.693/250.09, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.852/163.95, Was #23
Two very nice runs, Payne taking the top spot away from Taylor. Weaver shook violently yesterday, but the car appeared to be smooth all the way down the track.
Left Lane: Tim Nemeth Runs 5.897/208.81, Now #12; Best prior run: 5.839/244.96, Was #12
Right Lane: Doug Gordon Runs 9.376/92.93, Now #24; Best prior run: 15.731/54.03, Was #28
Gordon's car shook and made a violent move out toward the wall, forcing him to lift. Nemeth was a bit slower than yesterday on an otherwise clean run.
Left Lane: Clint Thompson Runs 5.785/236.30, Now #10; Best prior run: 22.861/35.69, Was #29
Right Lane: Bret Williamson Runs 5.862/243.41, Now #14; Best prior run: 10.220/77.23, Was #26
Both runs looked good, but Williamson's car was moving around a bit more than Thompson's.
Left Lane: Bucky Austin Runs 5.631/257.53, Now #1; Best prior run: 5.806/249.67, Was #11
Right Lane: Paul Crifasi Runs 6.205/227.57, Now #22; Best prior run: 6.275/229.98, Was #23
"The Northwest Hitter" shows where that nickname came from with a stout run, right down the groove. Bucky Austin's incremental times: 60ft-0.975 sec., 330ft-2.529, 660ft-3.734/206.32mph, 1,000ft-4.761.
Left Lane: Sean Bellemeur Runs 6.034/251.34, Now #22; Best prior run: 13.377/68.38, Was #29
Right Lane: Ron August Jr Runs 5.779/253.95, Now #10; Best prior run: 6.439/161.71, Was #25
Bellemeur got his problems sorted out today, but could not make the bump time. August did likewise and was plenty quick enough to shake the field up again. Now Vern Moats is on the bump spot at 5.891.
Left Lane: Larry Miner Runs 5.634/255.43, Now #2; Best prior run: 5.768/252.28, Was #9
Right Lane: Steve Gasparrelli Runs 10.801/79.11, Now #7; Best prior run: 5.708/257.24, Was #6
Gasparrelli shook and slowed after 200 feet. Miner also shook a bit, but drove through it and into the second spot on the ladder.
Left Lane: Bernie Harrington Runs 6.083/235.60, Now #23; Best prior run: 6.213/198.03, Was #25
Right Lane: Ron Morrison Runs 6.171/199.05, Now #24; Best prior run: 12.929/62.89, Was #29
Harrington had at least one dead cylinder, spitting raw fuel from the right header. But he improved over his first effort. Morrison's car left some debris in the lane, so the sweeper truck made a couple laps.
Left Lane: Rian Konno No Time, Now #18; Best prior run: 5.913/219.29, Was #18
Right Lane: Vern Moats Runs 5.660/256.50, Now #5; Best prior run: 5.891/253.56, Was #16
Konno's car shook and coasted to a stop about 150 feet out on the burnout. Moats was bumped earlier this round, made up for it very nicely on a solo pass. Now Bret Williamson is on the bump spot at 5.862.
Right Lane: David Ray Runs 5.667/257.09, Now #6; Best prior run: 5.781/251.77, Was #12
Last car. Nice run, right down the groove and into the top half of the field.

Why South Korea is Eyeing Nukes
East Asia | Security | South Korea
July 27, 2011By Richard Weitz
Concern about US security guarantees has prompted debate in South Korea over the possibility of redeploying US tactical nuclear weapons or building some themselves.
Comments by influential South Koreans that their country should consider requesting the return of US nuclear weapons to their shoresor even acquire its own nuclear weaponsreflects persistent unease about how regional security developments are challenging US extended security guarantees developed during the Cold War.
In the case of South Korea, the United States pledged through a bilateral mutual defence treaty to help defend the country from an external attack, presumably from North Korea, with nuclear weapons if necessary. The deployment of sizeable US conventional forces in South Korea was aimed at making these extended security guarantees more credible.
The effectiveness of deterrence is difficult to prove, since by definition nothing happens. If a country is deterred from attacking, it is a non-event. Sceptics can plausibly argue that perhaps the presumed aggressor never intended to attack, or at least refrained from the assault for other reasons. Still, the North Korean invasion of the South was never repeated, perhaps due to US threats to retaliatesomething that was lacking before June 1950.
Extended deterrence is a function of capacity, will, and perception. It requires that the guarantor has the capacity to defend another country under attack as well as the intent to do so, and this capacity-will combination must be perceived by the target as sufficiently strong that the potential aggressor decides to refrain.
(Excerpt) Read more at the-diplomat.com ...
I don't think any country with nuclear weapons has ever been invaded... sounds like a pretty effective deterrent to me.
Inadvertently fire a nuclear weapon?
Given South Korea's position vis a vis both North Korea and China, the real question is why haven't they obtained nukes long before this?
They tried. Remember Jimmah Eff'ng Carter? He derailed SK's first bid for nuke.
The North has been working with nukes since they secured the Japanese nuke program running in their country since WW II. We have given south a defense since the late 1940's. Now other countries have seen how we ran out on all our current allies. I am not surprised.
What South Korea probably wants are 0.5 to 1 kT nuclear artillery shells—such shells would stop a full-scale North Korean invasion fairly quickly, because frankly, North Korea may have a big army for "show" but how effective is their weaponry?
Tom Friedman must be so proud. Chinese foreign policy is leading to the nuclearization of Japan and South Korea and driving Vietnam into the arms of the U.S.
You think Obama would pull the trigger if the North invades? Hah. Give me a break.
Initial hesitancy from Lee Myung-bak in Cheonan incident and the shelling of West Sea islands may have been influenced, at least in part, by American pressure behind the scene. They want Lee to exercise god-d*mn "Admirable Restraint." It is unsettling to see that this phrase is still tossed around in D.C. and MSM media.

Baitul Mukarram (Arabic: بيت المكرّم; Bengali: বায়তুল মোকাররম; The Holy House) is the national mosque of Bangladesh. Located at the heart of Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh, the mosque was completed in 1968. The mosque has a capacity of 30,000, giving it the respectable position of being the 10th biggest mosque in the world. However the mosque is constantly getting overcrowded. This especially occurs during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which has resulted in the Bangladeshi government having to add extensions to the mosque, thus increasing the capacity to at least 40,000.Architecture
The mosque complex was designed by architect, T Abdul Hussain Thariani. The National Mosque of Bangladesh has several modern architectural features whilst at the same time it preserves the traditional principles of mosque architecture. Baitul Mukarram's resemblance to the famous Ka'abah at Mecca makes this a unique mosque in Bangladesh.

Fox pundit: Images from Foley beheading video are 'perfectly fair' for GOP campaign ads
Conservative radio host Lars Larson told Fox News on Tuesday that it was "perfectly fair" for Republican candidates to use images from a video of an American journalist being beheaded in campaign ads attacking President Barack Obama.
A campaign video advertisement released on Monday by New Mexican Republican Senate candidate Allen Weh includes a frame from a gruesome video which showed the beheading of American photographer James Foley. The ad crops out Foley so only the disturbing image of the masked killer holding a knife is visible.
The ad goes on to slam President Barack Obama for playing golf, and tries to link Weh's opponent, Democratic Sen. Tom Udall, to the administration's foreign policy.
Former Obama campaign consultant Marjorie Clifton pointed out to Fox News on Tuesday that the ad "creates a really distasteful environment in terms of negative campaigning."
Larson, however, called the ad "perfectly fair."
"James Foley's executioner, the image is very powerful," he insisted. "It reminds us of something important. A lot of Democrats don't want to be tied to this president's policies — although they are — because this president is playing while ISIS is out killing people."
"It isn't September 10th any more," Larson added. "It is past Sept. 11th, 2001. It's a different era. And this president, back when he wanted this job, said, 'I will give up vacations, I will give up time with my family.' Well, he's done anything but. He's the playboy president."
"So of course, you're going to see that image played."

Ultra high frequency-electromagnetic field irradiation during pregnancy leads to an increase in erythrocytes micronuclei incidence in rat offspring.
Life Sci. 2006 Dec 3;80(1):43-50.

26,8 – 40 V/m => 1,905 W/m⊃2;
Mobile telephones and their base stations are an important ultra high frequency-electromagnetic field (UHF-EMF) source and their utilization is increasing all over the world. Epidemiological studies suggested that low energy UHF-EMF emitted from a cellular telephone may cause biological effects, such as DNA damage and changes on oxidative metabolism. An in vivo mammalian cytogenetic test, the micronucleus (MN) assay, was used to investigate the occurrence of chromosomal damage in erythrocytes from rat offspring exposed to a non-thermal UHF-EMF from a cellular phone during their embryogenesis; the irradiated group showed a significant increase in MN occurrence. In order to investigate if UHF-EMF could also alter oxidative parameters in the peripheral blood and in the liver - an important hematopoietic tissue in rat embryos and newborns - we also measured the activity of antioxidant enzymes, quantified total sulfhydryl content, protein carbonyl groups, thiobarbituric acid-reactive species and total non-enzymatic antioxidant defense. No significant differences were found in any oxidative parameter of offspring blood and liver. The average number of pups in each litter has also not been significantly altered. Our results suggest that, under our experimental conditions, UHF-EMF is able to induce a genotoxic response in hematopoietic tissue during the embryogenesis through an unknown mechanism.

Easter visit to birth family
We had a fabulous visit to Grandma Judy's in Orange, CA. There were 32 friends and family members of my son's birth family. Lots of food and visiting and, of course, a Lakers basketball games in the evening. Ages ranged from 80 down to 6. Egg hunt for the children and conversations for the adults with little kids running around all day. Tim's birthmom, Julie, his grandma and grandpa, his unles, Wayne and Bob, and all of his cousins were there to make it a perfect visit.

I don't really understand this story by the AP.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Barack Obama has effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates.
The tally put Obama over the top Tuesday, ahead of the results from the day's final primaries in Montana and South Dakota. The Illinois senator becomes the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House. Obama outlasted former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton in a historic contest and now faces Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona for the presidency.
Based on what? I haven't seen the superdelegate tsunami some were reporting earlier, and all the sources I can find have him more than 30 delegates from clinching.
What gives?
Between wrongly reporting that Hillary will concede tonight, to now claiming Obama has clinched, it hasn't been the best day for the AP's credibility.

text: But why didn't they make Tobias the Champion in Best Wishes? I think that's mainly because Cynthia appears in Heart Gold/Soul Silver and in Black/White too and she's considered the Sinnoh Champion in both games (which is technically incorrect, since Lucas/Dawn became Champion in DPP), so they had absolutely no interest in dethroning Cynthia in Best Wishes 2. It's simple convenience, advertising of the games and a bit of fanservice. If she didn't appear, some people would think/believe that Tobias might have become the new Sinnoh Champion (mainly thanks to his Darkrai).

'Smart Card' Technology Enhances Readiness, Security
By Gerry J. Gilmore, American Forces Press Service.
Washington D.C. -- (AFPS) March 8, 2002 - Implementation of "smart card" technology across DoD by 2003 will enable the department to deploy troops faster and safeguard its people and facilities better, the card's program manager said March 5.
DoD's Common Access Card is a plastic identification card with an embedded 32-kilobyte memory chip, said Mary Dixon, director of the DoD Access Card Office. The card has already been issued at many stateside and overseas locales, and about this time next year, 4 million active-duty military, selected reservists, DoD civilians and eligible contractor employees are expected to have them, she noted.
The card and stored data can be tied into computer networks for personnel actions and added security. It has proven its worth in speeding troop processing times during recent testing at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Dixon noted. The 25th Infantry Division troops there used to have to spend one or more days preparing for deployments using paper records, she said.
The cards reduced deployment processing times to about an hour or two for each individual who took part in the test, Dixon remarked. And besides getting troops to the front faster, she noted, Common Access Cards could save time in a number of other ways.
"We're returning that time to the units -- they can use it for training," she explained.
Security concerns across DoD have been greatly heightened because of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Dixon noted. Widespread use of smart card technology for identification purposes will also enhance DoD's security infrastructure, she noted.
Personal identification numbers today, and biometric data such as fingerprints in the future, can be contained on the card, making it much more secure than paper IDs, Dixon said.
"There is a one-in-a-million chance that you might guess a person's six-digit PIN," she explained, adding that the card automatically locks up to deny access after receiving three incorrect PINs.
Widespread use of Common Access Cards should bolster security for DoD's people, buildings and facilities, Dixon noted. The new technology, she added, also allows a "one-card-fits-all" system, so IDs, Public Key Infrastructure tokens, and multiple security passes could be melded onto one card.
Unlike easily duplicated paper ID cards, common access cards -- with their one-of-a-kind computer chips and embedded biometric data -- can facilitate secure access into a sophisticated computer security network, Dixon explained.
If a common access card is lost or stolen, she noted, the identification and security accesses on the card can be invalidated immediately. Biometric information already in the card's computer database, she added, would be checked when a request is made for a replacement card.
Issuance of Common Access Cards contains myriad checks and balances to ensure integrity, Dixon noted. A fraudulently issued card might conceivably get past security officials at first, but definitely not for long, she said.

Do you need another reason to love the bubbly?
This just in from the L.A. Times Image desk:
Champagne isn't just for drinking. Beauty companies have captured its essence in a range of products. So, whether you were a house guest over the holidays and need a way to say thank you or you'd simply love to indulge in Champagne beauty products on your own, you'll be happy to learn that many of these bubbly infused offerings aren't just for the festive fun of it all; they also have clinical merit.
Cosmetic chemist Joseph Cincotta says Champagne is beneficial because of antioxidants in the grape seed extract it contains. These antioxidants are 20 to 50 times more powerful than vitamins C and E, respectively, he says.
The article goes on to highlight a number of scrubs, toners, soaps and the like. But I'll just use it as a license to drink up on New Year's Eve. In the name of health.

Two drivers escaped with no serious injuries after one car plunged into a swollen river and another smashed through the front of a popular takeaway.
One woman had a miraculous escape after her car plunged down a 20ft drop and landed upside down in a swollen river.
The 56-year-old driver's cries for help were only heard by chance after another car crashed nearby and firefighters dealing with that incident heard her faint calls from a distance.
By then the "very, very lucky lady" had been trapped for some time in the darkness and freezing, fast flowing water, which was at higher levels after recent heavy rain.
Firefighters were called to the nearby accident, in which a Subaru had lost control on ice and collided with a fence at around 6.30am, and heard the woman call for help.
As a result of where it had fallen, her car could not be easily seen from the road.
When she was spotted, she was pleading for help through the half-submerged car's back window having climbed from the driver's seat and become stranded in the back seat.
She had seemingly lost control of her vehicle which crashed through railings before plunging down the vertical drop.
Watch manager Nick Ounsworth, from Caerphilly fire station, said: "The woman was in the vehicle, which was upside-down in around one metre of water and she was in the back window.
"She had cuts and lacerations from where she had clambered out of the driving seat and was suffering from cold.
"We don't know how long she had been there but we heard her voice and went to help.
"Luckily she was wearing a seat belt which had protected her in the impact.
"Then she remained calm and got to the back of the vehicle.
"The most important thing is that she stayed with the vehicle and didn't try and get herself to the side of the river.
"If she had tried to leave the car she could have been swept away by the fast flowing river, due to all the rain we have had, and could have died.
"She did the best she could. She's a very, very lucky lady.
"Luckily we heard her calls, otherwise she may have been there longer."
Firefighters from Caerphilly Fire Station helped in the rescue off Commercial Road, Machen, which included using ladders and safety lines.
A rescue boat was also brought in the assist. The woman was taken to hospital.
The second accident happened nearby at around 6.30am, when a Subaru lost control before coming to a halt at railings near Machen rugby club.
Gail Marshall, 34, was taken to hospital for a check-up – but had just a few cuts and bruises.
She said: "As I was sat there, I could hear someone shouting but didn't realise. I thought it was someone walking their dog.
"But it turned out my crash saved someone else. I just wish I had realised she was there. I would like to say thank you to the guy who helped me."
There were no serious injuries in a second dramatic accident in which a BMW smashed through the front of a popular takeaway.
A customer had to be rescued from a Subway branch after the car ploughed into the shop in the middle of the afternoon.
The woman, who was reportedly buying a sandwich, suffered minor injuries in the incident on Victoria Square in Aberdare at 3.24pm.
The road – a main artery road through the town – was closed off by South Wales Police.
Three cars are thought to have been involved in the incident.
Fire crews and several ambulances were sent to the scene to treat casualties but South Wales Police said there were no serious injuries.
One onlooker said: "It is chaos. The whole town centre has been brought to a standstill. I have never seen an accident like this in Aberdare."
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "An incident was reported to us at 3.24pm when a vehicle went into a shop on Victoria Square.
"One woman was trapped inside the store."
Police said they were still investigating the incident and had advised people to use a different route whilst the road was closed.

Actor Alan Kapoor might have been upset with the sudden closure of Piya Basanti Re on Sony PAL. However, he has a reason to smile as he has now been roped in by the same makers, Rashmi Sharma Productions for their long-running show on Colors, Sasural Simar Ka.
Yes, he will play Prems (Dheeraj Dhoopar) friend, who would come to meet him after a while to his house. Alans character, named Amar will be a psychologist by profession, and he will immediately sense something mysterious in Prems house. Also, Prem will seek his help to solve the mysteries of his house.
Also, along with Alan will be entering talented actor Shyam Mashalkar, popularly known as Ilesh of Sasural Genda Phool. Calendar, the character played by Shyam will be seen as the assistant of Amar.
We hear that this track will have a Bhool Bulaiyaa flavour wherein Alan will play a character similar to that of Akshay Kumars.
When contacted, Alan confirmed that he has started shooting for Sasural Simar Ka. However, he did not want to get into details.
We could not get in touch with Shyam for a confirmation.
As we know, the mysterious element in the story line has already been opened up with the entry of Sara Khan who has come in as the new Roli. With Alans entry, the intrigue in the story line will be taken to the next level.
Alan has started shooting for the show, and his entry will be aired soon.

I've recently become a bit enamored with the lightbar front on the 1980s and 90s Mercury Sable. It's such a boring-looking car with such a wild set of lights. Being passed by one of these on the highway at night when they were new must have been awesome.
I was trying to research what other cars of the era had these lights, but searching for 'lightbar' leads to a lot of aftermarket products. I know you could get a similar setup on the 94-6 Pontiac grand prix, but besides that I'm not sure.

Funny you're talking about a lot of butthurt republicans when you seem to be more butthurt than they are about their continued dislike of Obama. You even personally attack people who disagree with Obama. The election isn't going to make Republicans and Libertarians like him more, sorry dude.
To be fair, most of these people bash you for your belief too so you're not the only one; but it's really tiring to see that both sides in here act like such children over simple disagreement on political beliefs. Lots of crybaby butthurt people.
It seems greensooner and oucub are the only adults in the room. Sad.
What's sad is that if brutha actually ever looked at what the policies he wants in place are doing to the poor he would probably want them all repealed. Obama is trying to double down the drug war despite states trying to legalize pot. Which is a war on the poor minorities in this country. But that's just one example out of many.
Whats sad is that you ****s assumed you were going to win with relative ease. Obama is the best thing america could hope for. Dont yall feel ****ing stupid for starting all those threads for years?? Egg on your face like Fox News.
Because he only sees Obama as a black man. When he was raised by white people in Hawaii.
I don't know why people keep arguing and it all falls to the exact same personal attacks every time. It's really tiring.
Honestly when I go on a thread in here I look for greensooner's posts, IcanzIIravor's posts, your links (not always your posts. Sometimes you make no sense whatsoever), and oucub23's posts. These posters seem to make the most consistent sense, with well-reasoned, logical posts and for the most part debate without personal attacks.
I think its the pubs that need relief from Nov 7.
Eh hem eh hem!!!!!!!!!!!!
... This is getting pretty weak, man.
Why are you such a big fan of Bush's policies being continued? You would despise Obama if he had one thing different. An R instead of a D next to his name. He is a Bush guy and has pushed his policies to their natural extreme. Romney was essentially the same as Obama.
I think the constant bumping is pretty funny.
I plan on bumping it myself.....as Obama continues to impress over the next 4 years.

After E.J. Manuel was the only quarterback selected in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, everybody was interested to see whether or not West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith would land in the second round considering he was seen as a top-five pick not too long ago. Now, it appears Smith has officially found a home for the 2013 season–the New York Jets.
The Jets considered using one of their first-round picks on Smith, but it looks like things worked out just fine as they didn't even need to trade up in the second round to acquire the quarterback at No. 39. New York seemed like a strong possibility for Smith with all of the uncertainty surrounding Mark Sanchez and now–training camp just became even more interesting for the Jets.
Even though Smith still has numerous areas in need of improvement, there's no question he's capable of giving Sanchez a run for the money at the starting job. Sanchez has received every opportunity in the world over the last couple of years to prove himself as a starter and if he can't make it by now–it's difficult not to wonder if he's even worthy of being a starter.
If anything, the Jets may just let Smith learn as a backup in 2013, but this move certainly puts the pressure on Sanchez heading into next year. If Sanchez didn't think his job was in jeopardy before, this selection of Smith will certainly be a wake up call for the former first-round pick.

Let them serve with dignity
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, March 3, 2009
One of this country's most discriminatory and self-defeating policies - the ban on gays in the military known as "don't ask, don't tell" - may be officially on the path to oblivion.
A measure to drop the ban was officially introduced this week by Rep. Ellen Tauscher, a Walnut Creek Democrat. She served notice last year of her plans, and she's keying the change to President Obama's campaign pledge to junk the Clinton-era rule.
Instead of the existing bigotry-lite policy, the bill would end the rule, allowing the president as commander-in-chief to ban discrimination in the ranks based on sexual orientation.
Public opinion has shifted dramatically since 1993, when President Bill Clinton took office and ordered an end to discrimination against gays in the armed forces. Military leaders and Capitol Hill politicians rebelled, and the result was a stilted policy that permitted gays and lesbians as long as they stayed silent about their lives.
Public attitudes have moderated since then, along with the military mind-set. Some 70 percent-plus of returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans said they weren't opposed to gays in uniform. Also pulling an about-face were former Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell and retired Sen. Sam Nunn, a Georgia Democrat and leader on military matters, who both had a hand in writing the original "shut up and stay in the closet" rule.
Along with views that evolved in opposition to the policy, there were practical downsides. A Government Accountability Office report found that the policy had chased out 12,000 troops since its inception. Nearly 800 were considered especially valuable to the Pentagon, including 300 critically needed specialists in Arabic and other languages. This exclusion came as the military attempted to fill its ranks by lowering standards and admitting noncitizens. The rule has backfired to the nation's detriment.
A change in public sentiment may be a fine and wonderful thing on this topic. It gives political oxygen where none existed, and it allows Tauscher to begin a slog that may take a year to build consensus and support for her measure. There may even be a call for a commission to collect public input and put out the dying embers of opposition.
But it shouldn't have been necessary, not now and not 16 years ago. The ban and the clunky patchwork plan dreamed up to mollify anti-gay critics remains distinctly unfair and harmful. It's time to dump "don't ask, don't tell."

Open topic with navigation
Use this dialog to define cache handling for Page Index Elements and Custom Elements that display lists based on filters or manual selection. Typically, clearing cache for these Element types requires rebuilding Element-level cache the next time container pages are rendered in read mode, a potentially resource-intensive task for sites that use these components extensively, especially as a form of site navigation.
CommonSpot gives you options for clearing cache on content updates to find the best balance between content integrity and site performance.
To access these options, expand the Performance left panel in the Site Administration Dashboard, and click Cache Clear Settings.
Defining how to handle Page Index/Custom Element cache files requires an understanding of four main publishing concepts:
Note: If you edit any field values in this dialog or change Performance Options, be sure to click OK to save your changes.
Number of Unique Page Index Queries
The text at the top of the dialog indicates the number of "Unique Page Index Queries" in use at your site, that is, the number of database lookups required to render a page index.
As shown in the example below, CommonSpot evaluates each Page Index and Custom Element on an individual basis when publishing pages containing Page Indexes or Custom Elements. Each Page Index or Custom Element query (criteria) is stored and referenced with a unique ID.
CommonSpot uses these queries to determine which Page Index or Custom Element is affected by content changes as described for each Performance Option below.
Performance Options
Below is a list of performance options with a description of how each behaves in response to certain content edits.
Option 1 - Setting this option gives you the best Authoring experience (the perceived time for publishing changes on an authoring server will be the fastest). With this option, you can also obtain good Read Mode experience by enabling CommonSpot Stale Cache Handling - temporarily serving out-of-date content, to eliminate wait times when serving content to site visitors.
CommonSpot does the following for each type of content change:
If you have a significant number of Page Index Elements and/or Custom Elements in re-use mode, setting Performance Option 1 and enabling the Stale Cache feature can significantly improve read-mode performance by reducing or eliminating the delays experienced when visitors hit a page that requires a full-cache rebuild. You can set a standard for serving stale cache at the site level. Settings at the template level override site level settings, and page-level settings override template settings.
Selecting this option without also enabling cache handling, such as stale cache or installing a shared database cache server, will result in poor read performance, since it requires rebuilding Element-level cache for all pages containing Page Indexes or Custom Elements.
Option 2 - (Default) Setting this option gives you a mixed Authoring experience. While content edits to existing pages will not take that long, all other edits will take longer to execute. The Read Mode experience should be acceptable, as CommonSpot will not clear all of the Page Index and Custom Element cache files all of the time, so pages will remain cached for longer. When this option is selected CommonSpot does the following for each type of content change:
Option 3 - With this option you have a good Authoring experience, as neither page edits nor other content changes take long to execute. The Read Mode experience will be slightly worse than in Option 2, depending on the number of content changes - apart from existing page edits - performed on your site on a regular basis. For this option, CommonSpot does the following for each type of content change:
Option 4 - With this option you will see the worst Authoring performance - each content edit will take longer to execute as all Page Index and Custom Element queries are run. However, you will get the best performance in Read Mode, as Page Index and Custom Element cache clears are minimized. With this option checked CommonSpot does the following for each type of content change:
Option 5 - Selecting this option disables automatic cache clearing to lessen or eliminate the performance hit authors may experience when their changes result in cache regeneration. To minimize processing overhead affecting authors, you can create a custom job to selectively rebuild cache for pages that require refresh. The Rebuild Cache for Saved Search Results job restricts cache rebuild to pages matching saved search criteria. You can create a schedule of one or more jobs based on
Combine selective cache rebuild with complete cache rebuild during off-peak hours to find the best balance between authoring performance and content freshness requirements when using this option.
Note: To make sure all content remains up-to-date, you must also schedule a full cache rebuild at regular intervals when using Option 5.
Average Author-mode Page Load Time
This number is an estimate of how long a page takes to load in Author mode. The number is used by CommonSpot when a change is published for a page, and can be tweaked to create optimum author performance.
The page publishing process is separated in two parts - the "essential" and "non-essential" page processing logic.
Clicking Submit for any of the Publish Change dialogs displays a small window in front of the main window. The small window begins the "essential" processing. At this time, the current page is "busy" and not available for update. Once the "essential" processes complete, the small window directs focus towards the main window, the modified page is re-rendered with current data, and the page-level cache is built.
The small window remains hidden and will "pause" while the page is loading, to yield processing power to the page render process. Pause duration is equal to the number entered in the Average Author-mode Page Load Time field, which you can modify. Once this limit expires, the "non-essential" (search collection indexing, Page Index/Custom Element cache clears etc.) processes execute in the background.
Clear Page Index Cache
In the unlikely event that the Page Index or Custom Elements appear to be out of sync on your site, you can delete all of the Page Index and Custom Element cache files by clicking Clear Page Index Cache at the bottom of this dialog.
Note: Clicking this button will temporarily degrade your Read Mode performance while CommonSpot rebuilds the cache. If possible, you should schedule cache clearing during off-hours. CommonSpot also rebuilds the page index cache on the first visit to the page.

Historical records matching Mary Ann Rich
Immediate Family
About Mary Ann Rich
Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel, 1847–1868 Charles C. Rich Company (1847) Age 17
Mary Ann Phelps Rich, wife of Apostle Charles C. Rich, was born Aug. 6, 1829, near Peoria, Tazewell county Illinois, the daughter of Morris Phelps and Laura Clark. Her parents became converts to "Mormonism" in 1831 and moved to Jackson county, Missouri, where they secured an inheritance.
They were expelled, with the rest of the Saints, from Jackson county in 1833 and were living in Clay county, Missouri, in 1834 when Zion's Camp arrived. On that occasion the Prophet Joseph preached in her father's house. The Prophet placed the little girl on his knee and blessed her, an incident which she cherished in her memory.
In 1836 the family moved to Caldwell county, Missouri, where they became subject to the continued persecutions of the Saints which followed. In the fall of 1838 her father, together with Parley P. Pratt and others, was arrested and thrown into prison in Richmond, Clay county. Every two weeks the mother visited her husband in prison, taking him provisions as the prisoners were not provided with food fit to eat.
In the spring of 1839 the Phelps family was forced to leave their home in Missouri with the rest of the Saints who fled to Quincy, Illinois. On this journey Mary's mother drove her own team. After a short sojourn in Quincy, Sister Phelps returned to Missouri for the purpose of assisting in the liberation of her husband, who, in the meantime, had been moved from Richmond to Columbia. Sister Phelps took a most heroic part in bringing about the escape of her husband, and the other prisoners, which event took place from the Columbia jail on Independence day, 1839. The story of this liberation forms one of the most interesting chapters of Church history.
When Mary was about twelve years old her noble mother died, leaving five children, the youngest a babe, eighteen months old. Later, when her father married again, Mary went to live with some of her mother's relatives in Iowa where she worked at wool spinning. She was fifteen years old when the Prophet Joseph was martyred and she saw and heard him deliver his last address to the Nauvoo Legion.
In her diary Sister Rich says, "When the Prophet Joseph found he had to go to Carthage he wanted a man by the name of Rosecrantz, who was well acquainted with the governor, to go with him. He sent a messenger asking me if I would go and stay with Mrs. Rosecrantz, while her husband accompanied the Prophet to Carthage. On their way they called at the gate, with their company, and the Prophet Joseph asked me if I would bring them out a drink of water. This I cheerfully did and the Prophet said to me, 'The Lord bless you, you shall have a disciple's reward.' This was the last time I ever saw him alive." Mary was present at the time the remains of the martyred Prophet and his brother were brought to Nauvoo and with her father went to the Mansion House and viewed the remains.
On January 6, 1845, after considerable deliberation, Sister Mary embraced the principal of celestial marriage, being sealed to Charles C. Rich as his third wife, with the full consent of his first wife, and lived at Nauvoo, in the hope of soon moving to the Rocky Mountains, where they could enjoy the rights and liberties of their religion. During the winter of 1845-46, the Temple having been completed, Sister Rich, in common with her husband and his family, received her endowments in the Nauvoo Temple. So anxious were the people for this privilege that Temple ordinances were given night and day, except on Saturday and Sunday.
On Feb. 12, 1846, Sister Rich left Nauvoo for the journey across the plains. She stayed a week with her uncle Ezra T. Clark, who lived seven miles from Montrose, Iowa, after which she was joined by her husband and his family and then started on their journey westward. Arriving at Mount Pisgah, Iowa, the company halted for one month, when it was decided to leave a portion of the main company at this place, and Bro. Rich was appointed to act as a counselor to Bro. Wm. Huntington who had been appointed to preside over the Saints at Mount Pisgah. Soon afterwards Bro. Huntington died, and the responsibility of caring for the settlement fell upon Bro. Rich.
Sister Mary spent the winter of 1846-1847 at Mount Pisgah,enduring many hardships, the Saints suffering very much from chills and fever which caused the death of about seventy persons during that winter. In March, 1847, most of the Saints at Mount Pisgah moved to Winter Quarters, where the main body of the Church was located, and in the following June (1847) Bro. Rich and his family left the Missouri river to continue their journey westward, Bro. Rich being in charge of the company.
It was a rule among the Saints, that if any one hired a man or boy to help them cross the plains, they should keep this hired help until after harvest the following year, so that no one would be homeless or hungry after reaching the Valley. In order to save this expense Sister Mary and another of her husband's wives (Emmeline) volunteered to drive an ox team each on the journey. This was hard work, but instead of murmuring they frequently made the air resound with their songs of joy, for they were going to the Rocky Mountains where they would be free to live their religion and be acknowledged as wives.
Sister Rich relates that she had never enjoyed good health until she started on that journey; she felt so well during this hard trip that it seemed a pleasure for her to do anything in her power to help her husband and the rest of the company. When they reached the South Pass, they were met by President Brigham Young and a "company of pioneers returning to Winter Quarters. President Young reported that a Stake of Zion had been established in the Great Salt Lake Valley and informed Bro. Rich that he had been appointed first counselor to John Smith, the president of the Stake.
President Young spent one day with the company and his words so encouraged the weary travelers that they continued their journey with increased joy, although the roads were terrible, the mountains steep, the teams weak and the weather cold. The company arrived in the Valley Oct. 1, 1847. Sister Mary relates that when they arrived at the camp of the Saints in Great Salt Lake City her skirts only reached to her knees, for in driving her ox team over difficult parts of the road her clothing had caught in the brush many times, and parts of it had been torn away.
Bro. Rich and his family immediately upon their arrival tried to make a comfortable place for Nancy Rich (mother of Charles C. Rich), who had been seriously ill on the journey and who died Oct. 5, 1847, she being the first Latter-day Saint to die in Salt Lake City. Sister Mary writes, "During that winter (1847-1848) we had a hard time, as provisions were scarce, and there was a big family of us, my husband having six wives and six children, but we were all willing to help him. We had to live on rations, or we would not have had bread stuff to last us till harvest; but the winter was mild and in the spring we dug segoes and cooked greens, which helped us in our privations.
In 1851 Bro. Rich was called to assist in making a settlement for the Saints in southern California, where converts from the Southern States and the Sandwich Islands might make their homes. Sister Mary accompanied him on this mission and thus became one of the first settlers of San Bernardino, where she resided about six years and then returned to Salt Lake City in June, 1857.
After that she lived at Centerville, Davis county, and the following spring (1858), with the rest of the Saints from Salt Lake City and the northern settlements in Utah, participated in the move south and located in Provo. In due time, however, on the return of the Saints to their homes, she moved back to Centerville.
In 1864 Bro. Rich having been called to direct the making of settlements for the Saints in Bear Lake Valley, Idaho, Sister Rich moved with him to Paris, where she made her home. Here she experienced many hardships and found the cold very trying, especially after having lived in the mild climate of California. In fact the winter of 1864-1865 was so severe that some of the settlers held a meeting wherein they requested Bro. Rich to release them from their obligations and allow them to establish themselves in a warmer climate.
Bro. Rich, however, told them he had no right to hold them there, as for himself and his family, they would remain, since he had been sent to colonize the country and proposed to do so. Bro. Rich's motto was always "Church work before private work." So Sister Rich lived and raised her family in Bear Lake Valley, enduring all the hardships incident to the early settlement of the country. Her husband died Nov. 17, 1883, but she was left in comfortable circumstances and used her efforts and means to educate her children.
Her declining years were peaceful and happy. She was the mother of ten children, four of whom died in childhood. The names of the others are as follows: Mary Ann, William L., Minerva, Amasa, Ezra and Edward. Sister Rich died April 17, 1912, at the age of 82 and was buried in the family burial place at Paris. She lived a life of usefulness and was honored by those who knew her. She was familiarly known by all as "Aunt Mary."

Steele passing tough schedule with flying colors
Published 5:34 pm, Tuesday, September 24, 2013
As they prepare for their last non-district game tonight, the Steele Knights have certainly learned more about themselves in the first month of the 2013 season.
Steele (3-1) is hoping to win its fourth game in a row when they travel to play the San Marcos Rattlers at 7:30 p.m. at Bobcat Stadium.
The Knights have played a tough early season schedule, opening the season with a 46-45 loss to Madison and then bouncing back with wins over Judson (51-34), Kerrville Tivy (49-7) and against Austin Westlake, 49-21, last Friday at Lehnhoff Stadium.
Coach Scott Lehnhoff said going up against such formidable opponents early in the season has helped the Knights improve in certain areas.

"It is always good to get tested both physically and mentally earlier in the year," Lehnhoff said. "That loss to Madison kind of refocused everybody and showed us that we were not as good as we thought we were. Earlier on we weren't ready to play."
In the loss to Madison, the Knights were up 31-14 in the third quarter before the Mavericks rallied in the fourth quarter for the win. Madison quarterback Cody Ennis torched Steele's defense by scoring 7 TDs, four rushing and three passing, in amassing 421 total yards.
The Knights gave up 609 yards of total offense to Judson, but forced seven turnovers as Steele bounced back in week two.
Since week three, Steele's defense has become stingier, limiting Tivy to 121 total yards and Westlake to 278 yards.
Meanwhile, the Knights offense has come out of the starting blocks humming on all cylinders, averaging 494 yards and 45 points per game.
Senior Justin Stockton is leading all area rushers with 759 yards and 12 TDs, averaging 12.7 yards per carry.
After playing San Marcos, Steele starts District 28-5A action next Friday at Lehnhoff Stadium against Corpus Christi King.
After getting blown out by the Navarro Panthers last week, the schedule doesn't get any easier for the Marion Bulldogs.
Marion (2-2) will host the 4-0 Luling Eagles in the District 15-2A Division I opener for both teams Friday at Veterans Stadium. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.
Despite a promising start, the Bulldogs lost to Navarro, 42-13, last Friday at Veterans Stadium. The Bulldogs led 13-7 early in the second quarter before Navarro scored 35 consecutive points to blow out Marion, which lost its second game in a row.

Hook to show off the Light of Joy Division in Limerick
PETER Hook is to play a Joy Division celebration in Limerick this November.
The bass player and co-founding member of the seminal English band - which reformed as New Order following the death of Ian Curtis - will bring his band The Light to Dolan's Warehouse on November 26, part of a wider symposium being organised by the Popular Music and Popular Culture Research Cluster in the University of Limerick.
Hook and the band will perform the classic albums Unknown Pleasures and Closer in full, while also performing opening set comprising of New Order material, of which Hook was a member until 2007.
The Limerick show - a first for Hook - is among a handful of national dates the musician will perform.
The show will co-incide with a two-day symposium focussing on the hugely influential Joy Division in UL, where previous events have focussed on David Bowie and Morrissey.
Martin Power, co-organiser, said that the event would examine the "legacy of the iconic Manchester band over two days".
"We are thrilled that Peter Hook is coming to Dolan's to perform these classic albums," he said.
"Unknown Pleasures is considered one of the most stunning debut albums ever released while on Closer, Martin Hannett's incandescent production permeates the record alongside a band that had grown much in confidence approaching their second album," he added.
Early booking is advised for the Peter Hook and The Light show in Dolan's, which is expected to be a sell-out, with tickets priced at €22.50 now on sale from the venue, Ticketmaster or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

DEDICATED Paul Smith was feeling sore but exhilarated after he completed a charity challenge to run to all four North-East football clubs in one day.
The Pools fan ran for more than 11 hours in his epic 61-mile stadium run and was given a hero's welcome when he crossed the finishing line at Hartlepool United's Victoria Park on Saturday afternoon.
Paul, who had never run that far in one go before, is on course to raise more than £3,000 for the Finlay Cooper Fund, founded by Pools manager Colin Cooper after the tragic death of his young son, and The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Paul, 50, known by his nickname Lord Smythe, said: "I would say this is the pinnacle of my running achievement, it was taking things to a whole different level.
"I feel honoured and privileged to be able to do it to provide support and funds for two worthwhile charities which both have a football theme. I expect to raise well beyond £3,000."
Durham County Council consumer protection officer Paul set off from St James's Park, in Newcastle, 12.01am on Saturday, the shortest day of the year.
He then headed south to the Stadium of Light at Sunderland before making the first of two visits to his beloved Victoria Park.
He hit the road again for Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium before heading back to Hartlepool, arriving just in time for Pools' game against Burton Albion where he was invited to watch the match from the home team dug-out.
"I think I was there as the director of endurance," said Paul from Sherburn Hill, near Durham City.
Pools boss Colin Cooper said: "He is a smashing lad and what he did was just exceptional. It is an amazing feat.
"Paul was touched and over the moon we chose to do it but he thoroughly deserved it."

I try not to gush when writing a review of any car, but I can't see me writing up the 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth without going a little over the top.
Not only is it impossible to have more fun driving for a sticker of only $22,000, but the 500 Abarth might be the perfect car for single urban dwellers.
This Fiat 500 variation comes out of the Abarth shop tuned up far beyond the standard car. This fun machine rolls out with 1.4 liter, 16 valve turbocharged 160-horsepower engine producing 170 lb. ft. of torque. While it's true that a turbocharger adds one more thing to an engine that can go wrong, to hear that tell-tale, sucking "whoosh" of that turbocharger kicking on when you accelerate on such a small car is a genuine treat.
Abarth designed a power-train control module (PCM) providing specific engine calibrations to amp up horsepower when you activate the car's "Sport" mode.
Before they're done, Abarth tweaks the Fiat 500's exhaust to give it that rally car sound. The tuners also slap on upgraded brakes, firmer handling and lighter, stronger wheels.
The drive is so tight and responsive, I'd estimate the 500 Abarth would save any owner significant minutes during a busy commute in any city or freeway traffic situation by allowing that invaluable zipping in and out of lanes in spaces a bigger car would have no chance of fitting into at speed.
With its unique blend of quickness, handling and tiny dimensions, I spent the weeklong test drive of the 500 Abarth blissfully avoiding Los Angeles traffic. I was fast enough to outrun 90% of cars on the road, and zip in and out of wolf packs with surgical efficiency.
But, I was also able to throw it around the hilly winds of Mulholland and the Angeles Crest with total confidence. There's more than one lazy LA driver who was sick to death of seeing me flying up behind them while biting off an apex.
In that size department, the car approaches almost Smart Car dimensions – though I'm ashamed to mention that silly abomination of a vehicle in the same breath as the 500 Abarth. The Fiat has a back seat that you might be able to wedge a ventriloquist's dummy into when two adults are up front, so it's not a family car on any planet. But that's what makes the 500 Abarth right for that single driver living in the city.
For its price, the only car I can think of that comes close to the 500 Abarth's entertainment value is the new Scion FR-S, but even that affordable sports car will run you about $25,000. As much as I like the Volkswagen GTI, I think the 500 Abarth outperforms it on the streets – without costing you as much as its other natural rival, the Mini Cooper.
The only issue about the 500 Abarth is (though it wears that attractive price tag) the car is becoming so noteworthy and popular that it's selling well around the world. Dealerships are marking up their Fiat Abarth inventory now with some selling north of $30,000. Fiat would be quick to tell you it's not their plan, and they don't control the individual dealerships. It's a reality would-be buyers face.
Is it worth the mark-up? You'll have to decide. But I will say I've test drove a Mustang GT, a Lexus IS F and other cars designed to generate a response by pedestrians and other drivers on the street. No car I've ever driven urged more people to go out of their way to tell me how much they liked my ride than the Fiat 500 Abarth.
Here at Safford FIAT of Fredericksburg, we believe that no other car you drive will urge more people to get out of your way to tell you how much they like your ride.

Passive House is the most logical platform for Net Zero Energy building
The single most important factor driving us at Ecocor is climate change. We may not be able to do much with the natural fluctuations in the atmosphere's carbon load, but we feel strongly that we must combat what we DO have control over—carbon emissions created by humans, driving anthropogenic climate change. To prepare for what may be inevitable--climate instability due to increased global temperatures--it is important to us that the homes we build will be handle whatever comes, including weather, water, and unreliable energy supply.
Building to the Passive House standard drastically reduces the energy demand compared to conventional construction, cutting carbon emissions significantly—with a direct effect on the environment we all share.
Check out our Passive House Components. Our Panelized Construction approach to passive house building is perfect for all high performance building applications.
