Sports fan or not, football season is the perfect excuse for a little pre-game soiree. On the more troubling side, it can also signal the transition from a summer of healthy eating into a fall of high-calorie chips, dips and other guilty pleasures.
If that concerns you, here are some ways to keep the flavor but add a healthy twist to your tailgating favorites.
- Got a craving for sausage on the grill? Try any of the newest lines of chicken and turkey sausage—less fat, fewer calories, but lots of options for flavors and varieties.
- Try guacamole instead of nacho cheese. Unlike processed cheese, which is loaded with fat, sodium and artificial ingredients, guacamole is good for you. Part of the green fruit category, one-fifth of a Hass avocado has 50 calories and 20 different vitamins and minerals. Make your own fresh guacamole with ripe avocados, tomatoes, minced onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt and pepper.
- Nosh on in-shell pistachios instead of pretzels. They're a top pick for taste, and they're packed with protein and fiber to keep you full longer.
- Dip your veggies and pita chips in flavored hummus instead of ranch. Made with low-fat, protein-packed chickpeas, hummus is a healthy dip alternative.
- Drink light beer over mixed drinks. Beer is the fifth food group for football parties, and there are some super-light options that you can enjoy with no guilt. Some ultra-light beers contain fewer than 70 calories a bottle. Regular beer has 150, and mixed drinks can pack in hundreds of calories per drink. However you choose to toast your team, alternate it with water to stay hydrated.
- When it comes to sweets, try healthy desserts like fruit kabobs with a fat-free frozen topping. If you stick with brownies and cookies, replace the butter or margarine with no-sugar-added applesauce.
And, of course, always check out Coupons.com before you plan your menu to make sure you have the latest coupons for your all your tailgating needs.

This year, the Grammys brought many memorable moments and a lot for late night hosts to discuss, and of course make jokes about. Here's how late night saw music's biggest night:
On "The Tonight Show," Leno started his recap of the Grammys with a California news story.
"Border patrol agents seized 670 pounds of cocaine that was hidden in a car," Leno said. "But, the good news? Last night's the Grammys still went on anyway, how about that?"
Then, Leno talked about one of the night's big winners.
"Congratulations to Daft Punk, they won for Album of the Year," Leno said. "They were the two guys dressed as robots. They're the first robots to win a major award since Al Gore got the Nobel Peace Prize."
Then, Leno turned his attention to the red carpet.
"Paris Hilton walked the red carpet with the rapper Birdman, so Birdman meets birdbrain," Leno said.
Finally, he made a joke based on the fact that Jimmy Fallon will soon replace him on "The Tonight Show."
"Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr did a song at the Grammys," Leno said. "So I guess some people still enjoy the older entertainers."
"Late Night" began their Grammy segment with a joke about Pharrell Williams' much-discussed attire choice.
"The big winners were Daft Punk and Lorde," Fallon said. "The big loser was the guy sitting behind Pharrell Williams. Even the Pope was like 'hey down in front, come on?'"
Next up were the night's big winners.
"Last night Daft Punk won 5 grammys including Album of the Year," Fallon said. "Fans said it was great to see someone new finally win the award. Then Daft Punk poulled off their helmets to reveal they were actually Taylor Swift and Adele. They were like 'Got you suckers!'"
Fallon also discussed a joke Jay Z said while accepting his award.
"I saw Jay Z accepted the Grammy for Best Rap Collaboration with my man Justin Timberlake and Jay Z joked the award would be a gold sippy cup for his daughter Blue Ivy," Fallon said. "Then Jay Z said 'I'm only kidding, she already has like four of those'."
Fallon ended his recap by discussing Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.
"Did you see Steven Tyler?" Fallon said. "He was looking cool, he showed up to the Grammys sporting a new beard and mustache or as most people put it, 'whoa, lady looks like a dude'."
Rather than celebrating the winners of the big night, Jimmy Kimmel highlighted the people who didn't win awards.
"The hardest part about being a nominee at one of these awards shows is pretending you're happy when someone wins in your category," Kimmel said, "and even though the Grammys is an event for musicians there was some top-notch acting in the audience last night and I'd like to honor that acting."
Then, Kimmel presented "The Best Loser at the Grammy Awards." The "Live" host played clips of Lorde, Katy Perry, Kasey Musgraves and Taylor Swift applauding others.
Afterward, he announced the winner of his mock award was Swift, who many claim thought for a moment she had won the award for Album of the Year.
Conan O'Brien also had Taylor Swift in his sights, however it was the country singer's performance that drew his attention.
"Taylor Swift performed a song last night and a lot of people thought the way she was playing the piano was a little overly dramatic," O'Brien said. "But I looked at the tape, I don't think she could help herself. Take a look."
A doctored clip played showing a hand knock over a glass of wine on a piano, causing bolts of electricity to shock Swift as she delivered her grammy performance.
The "Late Show With David Letterman" made big Grammy winners Daft Punk the subject of the Top Ten segment.
Top Ten Names Daft Punk Considered Before Deciding on Daft Punk
5. Dodd Frank
4. Shrimp Fork
3. Wet Cough
2. Dad's Junk
1. Mackledaft and Ryan Lewis

First time Tech places two on all-tournament team in
more than two years
FLORENCE, Ala. -- Seniors Josh Simer and Jake Heatherly each earned all-toruanemnt honors, finishing in a tie for fourth place individually, and Tennessee Tech sliced 11 strokes Tuesday off its first round score.
It marked the first time since October, 2007, that Tech has placed two golfers on an all-tournament team. For Simer, it's the third all-tournament honor this season while Heatherly claimed the award for the first time in his career.
Their second day improvement didn't prevent the Golden Eagles
from slipping two spots in the team standings, however, as Tech
finished fifth among the 20 teams in the tournament.
Host North Alabama, playing on its home course, followed its opening round 298 with a 290 on Tuesday to claim the team title with a 36-hole total of 588. That was good for a fiv-eshot edge over second place Delta State, which also closed play with a 290 on Tuesday and finished at 593.
Arkansas Tech, which started the second round in 10th place, fired the low round of the tournament with a 286 to jump all the way to third place at 599. Central Alabama CC was fourth at 302-292--600, with Tech two shots back. The Golden Eagles carded a 306 Monday and improved to a 295 Tuesdy - the team's lowest round of the spring -- to place fifth at 601.
Tech's score was one shot better than Indianapolis (602) in sixth place, followed by Concord (605), Central Missouri (607), Tampa (608) and Lindenwood (610) to round out the top 10.
Chase Smith of Delta State took medalist honors with a score of 144 after blazing to a 69 on Tuesday. Paul Colditz of Lindenwood also shot 69 Tuesday and finished tied for second at 146 with North Alabama's Jake Greer.
Heatherly (78-70) and Simer (74-74) were tied for fourth at 148 along with four others as the all-tournament team included nine players. Earlier this year Simer earned all-tournament honors at the Murray State Invitational and the Frito Lay Intercollegiate. It also is Simer's fifth Top 10 finish this season.
Heatherly's previous high finish was sixth place at the Pizza Hut-AT&T Intercollegiate last yar in Jackson, Miss. His previous best showing this year was 10th at the Grover Page Classic.
Blake Garrison, who was tied for fifth entering play Tuesday, shot a 77 and placed in a tie for 25th at 151. Travis Ramsey improved from an 80 to a 76 Tuesday and placed 54th at 156. Wes Korth chopped eight strokes off his first-round 83 to shoot a 75 Tuesday and finish 62nd at 158.
The next action for the Golden Eagle men's team is the Big Blue Invitational, April 5-6, hosted by Tennessee State University.

View and download an infographic displaying PEAT's findings from our recent conversations with partners about the accessible technology skill levels in their organizations.
According to a new survey report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 84% of organizations are now using social media for recruiting, up from 56% in 2011. These survey results add detail and paint a picture of what has become obvious: more and more, employers are posting job openings and information for job seekers on social media. And when these posts are not accessible, employers may be missing out on top talent.
The six phases of the Employment Lifecycle and their corresponding technologies.
With most of today's employers using some form of web recruiting to evaluate and hire job applicants, it's more important than ever for organizations to understand why accessibility matters to the "eRecruiting" phase of the employment lifecycle. This summer, PEAT concluded its national survey on user experiences related to the accessibility of online job applications and other eRecruiting tools. Check out our new infographic summarizing the survey results, and stay tuned as PEAT develops new tools and resources related to this critical issue.

Editor's Note: The following is a story from Financial Times examining the growing, but still infant Chinese RV industry, and the challenges for RVers looking to adopt the lifestyle.
Wang Xudong loves camping so much that he named his month-old twins the Chinese equivalent of "Cam" and "Ping." And the kind of camping he loves is caravanning.
Sitting in a deck chair outside his Chinese-made motorhome parked in Beijing's largest "RV park" – where a luxury imported American recreational vehicle can be rented – Wang talked about China's nascent RV culture and the joys of life on the open road.
He tells a tale of urban Chinese who are worn out by work yet still happy to battle Beijing's gargantuan traffic jams on Friday night just for the chance to wake up the next day and breathe the fresh air of an RV park.
"Even in a traffic jam, I am happy," says Wang, who last Friday fought through an evening of fearsome thunderstorms to arrive at Beijing's Nanshan RV park at 10 p.m. – where he immediately set about barbecuing his supper in the pouring rain.
It is all worth it, he says, for the chance to get away from it all and engage in the kind of games that grown boys everywhere love: racing around in all-terrain vehicles, grilling meat and jumping waves on the jet ski. Blink and this could be Los Angeles.
But the pot of gruel boiling in the rice cooker on Wang's picnic table says it is not: this is China and it is not yet a kingdom of RV enthusiasts. On paper, China has about 100 caravan parks – but most of them are pretty useless, since they are neither located on tourist routes nor within reach of anything that might be called scenery.
So RV pioneers need a caravan with Chinese characteristics: a generator, a tank that can hold water for three or four days and a shovel to bury several days worth of sewage, in the absence of a US-style sewage hookup.
Then there's Grandma: the Chinese middle class love to travel with the grandparents in tow and China's 30 or 40 RV manufacturers are happy to make caravans to order, with facilities for Grandpa's wheelchair.
Carting the elders around in an RV is "a form of filial piety", says Wang, enlisting no less an ally than Confucius to support his caravanning habit.
With only 5,000 RV owners, China has a long way to go before it catches up with the U.S., the spiritual home of the RV, where there are nearly 9 million caravanners. But Wang forecasts that RVs will catch on like BMWs in China in the years to come, as a symbol of an all new Chinese way of life that embraces nature, mobility, and the right to stop and go at will – a Route 66 kind of lifestyle that could not be more different from riding a Chinese bicycle.
Liu Yujiao heads the RV sales department at one of China's leading RV makers, Great Wall Motors. He says lots of people in Europe and America have time and money for RV travel, while the super-rich in China have money but no time.
So China's RVs are driven by small entrepreneurs, white-collar workers and retired government officials. They buy locally produced RVs for travel or entertaining while the überwealthy sometimes buy imported caravans to impress their business contacts. Liu expects the costs of production to drop once Chinese RV makers start to enjoy the economies of scale that only a nation of 1.3 billion potential caravanners can deliver.
But that may take a while: at the moment, RVs are still so novel that when one rocks up at a motorway toll booth, staff are often baffled how to charge for it. Even getting a number plate for an RV can be hard.

PARIS (Reuters) - A Frenchwoman released early from a 60-year Mexican jail term for kidnapping said former President Nicolas Sarkozy had saved her life by backing her case, as she arrived back in France on Thursday.
Teary-eyed but beaming, Cassez was careful to thank the current president, Francois Hollande, but made clear she considered Sarkozy's help had been crucial.
"I remember when Sarkozy took a stand in my case. It was a crucial moment. He saved my life because I went through very difficult times where sometimes I would get up in the morning and tell myself I was too tired to keep fighting," Cassez told a sea of TV cameras at Paris' Roissy airport.
"At that moment Nicolas Sarkozy arrived - and then later on, Francois Hollande. I owe him a lot," said Cassez.
Cassez spoke to Sarkozy by phone ahead of the court ruling and again before boarding her flight home, but aides said he was unable to meet her at the airport as he was out of the country.
The 38-year-old was arrested in 2005 at a ranch near Mexico City with her former boyfriend, who led a kidnapping gang. Cassez jailed in 2008 after a trial without jury that was held behind closed doors.
Mexico's top court ruled the case against Cassez was tainted because police had forced her to take part in a re-enactment of them freeing kidnap victims, which was aired on national television. Police subsequently admitted wrongdoing.
Sarkozy, who lost power to Hollande in May, had long fought to secure her release, pleading in person with then Mexican President Felipe Calderon to free Cassez.
Her surprise release eight months into Hollande's presidency could instead give a fillip to the incumbent's approval ratings, currently mired at around 37 percent.
Hollande hailed the ruling, invited the Cassez family to the presidential palace and dispatched his foreign minister to greet her on the airport tarmac. But some conservatives suggested he was trying to cash in on her release.
"It's a pity Francois Hollande didn't mention Nicolas Sarkozy, who at the end of the day was the one behind this," Rachida Dati, a prominent member of Sarkozy's UMP party, told BFM TV.
Cassez was released late on Tuesday and rushed straight from her jail cell onto a flight home after Mexico's Supreme Court overturned the original verdict.
Some Mexicans are bitter at her early release and heckled her as she was driven out of prison late on Tuesday.
Cassez said she had not believed that she was going home until the last minute.
"I have dreamt 10,000 times of this moment," she said at the airport after hugging her mother and brother.
"Right up until I boarded the plane, I didn't quite believe it. Even now I'm not sure I believe it."

AVALON GETS IT RIGHT: Is there any person out there who has an annual birthday -- this'll cover a pretty wide spectrum of us, we imagine -- who doesn't like the celebration to slip past the day itself? Nope, we're not talking about the getting of presents, we're talking about convivial times, and get-togethers with friends, and the spreading-out of the birthday joy. There's a reason "birthday month" is a high-ranking search on Google. But Avalon, that pert burg that has called Catalina Island home for a century, goes one better than a birthday month. The city is throwing a birthday year in honor of its centennial. And while a birthday year might be a little too much for any one of us -- wouldn't one birthday year just flow into the next birthday year? -- a multi-month centennial celebration suits the small slice of island life just right. Why? Because visitors are getting the gifts in this case, or deals, if you prefer. The nice offers are continuing right through the close of 2013, and the Catalina Express has a helpful Avalon Centennial Travel Planner to help you alight upon the right getaway.
ON THE PLANNER: The Catalina Island Inn's Centennial Package'll run from October through December, weekdays, and it is solid: Get a night in a queen room, and a ticket to-and-from the mainland on the Catalina Express for two travelers, and pay $125. Plus taxi, round-trip, plus a bottle of bubbly. No travel-brochure-y speak here: That's a really good deal for the island, and, yep, you'll want to travel from Sunday to Thursday, but don't you have some vacation days you need to use before the end of the year? Nab this. Or nab a night at Snug Harbor Inn, which will also have a special on from October through December (price kicks off at $132 per person, and that, too, includes your boat trip). For the full planner, and all the centennial deals, click here and read on. Centennials don't come around every day but rather (spoiler alert) every hundred years. If you're an avid Avalon buff, you'll need to wait another century to celebrate like this.

Electronics Projects: How to Build a NOT Gate Circuit
A gate is a basic component of digital electronics. Gate circuits are built from transistor switches that are either ON or OFF. There are a total of 16 different kinds of gates.
One of the simplest of all gate circuits — a NOT gate — simply takes an input that can be either ON or OFF and converts it to an output that's the opposite of the input. In other words, if the input is ON, the output is OFF. If the input is OFF, the output is ON.
Here's how the circuit works:
The input is controlled by a single-pole switch. When the switch is closed, the input is ON. When the switch is open, the input is OFF.
The input is sent through the R1and LED1 to bias the transistor. Thus, when the input is ON, LED1 lights up, and the transistor is turned on, which enables the collector-emitter path to conduct. When the input is OFF, LED2 is dark, the transistor turns off, and no current flows through the collector.
LED2 is connected directly between the +6 V power supply and ground, through a current-limiting resistor, of course, to keep the LED from burning itself out.
The anode of LED2 is connected to the transistor's collector.
When the transistor is off, current flows through R2 and LED2 and the LED lights up, indicating an ON output. But when the transistor turns on, a short circuit is created through the transistor's collector and emitter. This causes the current to bypass LED2, so the LED goes dark to indicate an OFF output condition.
Project 6-2 shows you how to build the one-transistor NOT gate circuit on a solderless breadboard.
When you complete this project, you should celebrate with great joy that you've built your first digital logic circuit.
If you feel like experimenting a bit, here are some suggestions:
Try replacing R2 with larger resistors, such as 10 kΩ and 22 kΩ, or insert a 100 kΩ potentiometer in series with R2. What effect does the increased resistance have on the brightness of the two LEDs?
Measure the base current and the collector current.
To measure the base current, remove the R2 lead in hole F1 and touch your multimeter probes to the lead you removed and the 2X terminal on the switch.
To measure the collector current, remove the R1 lead at J15 and touch the multimeter probes to the lead you removed and the LED1 anode.

By Dawn L. Brasaemle and Timothy F. Osborne
Several areas of research into lipids and lipid signaling have experienced rapid growth in recent years, and the 2012 annual meeting sessions will highlight some of the most exciting new developments in lipid biology. Four general topics will be covered in four sessions, including the formation and dissolution of lipid droplets, metabolite partitioning in mammalian tissues and model organisms, the contributions of lipids to inflammation and infectious disease, and lipid signals that control protein function.
Recent research reveals that lipid droplets are an important storage compartment for signaling lipids, substrates for energy metabolism and intermediates for the synthesis of membrane lipids. Speakers in the first session, "Lipid Droplets: A Dynamic Subcellular Compartment," will address current thoughts about lipid droplet formation and metabolism.
David L. Silver (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will present evidence that members of the FIT family of proteins are essential for the packaging of triglyceride into nascent lipid droplets. FIT proteins are integral membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum that facilitate the partitioning of triglycerides into lipid droplets and, as such, are required for lipid droplet expansion.
Tobias Walther (Yale University) will continue the theme by describing investigations into the role of phospholipids in lipid droplet formation and dynamics.
Finally, Dawn L. Brasaemle (Rutgers University) will describe how members of the perilipin family of lipid droplet-associated proteins fine-tune triglyceride storage in lipid droplets through control of lipase access to lipid substrates.
A developing area of inquiry is how lipids are channeled from biosynthetic or catabolic enzymes to specific fates in different subcellular compartments. Moreover, various proteins serve multiple functions, providing enzymatic activity against lipid substrates while influencing either lipid partitioning or transcription.
In "Metabolic Branchpoints and Lipid Channeling," Deborah M. Muoio (Duke University) will discuss the relationship between incomplete fat oxidation and the pathophysiology of insulin resistance in muscle as an example of how altered flux of metabolites can perturb energy balance.
Kaveh Ashrafi (University of California, San Francisco) will describe recent whole-organism studies in C. elegans to identify novel pathways and compounds that influence fat storage.
The third speaker, Peter J. Espenshade (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine) will examine the regulation of lipid metabolism by cellular sterol levels and hypoxia through modulation of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein pathway in fission yeast.
The third session, "Lipid Signaling, Infection, and Atherosclerosis," will explore the role of cellular lipid metabolism in modulating the host-pathogen interface. Christopher K. Glass (University of California, San Diego) will discuss oxysterols and cholesterol synthesis intermediates as LXR agonists for the regulation of gene expression related to Toll-like receptor signaling in macrophages.
Timothy F. Osborne (Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute) will expand on the link between the regulation of lipogenesis by SREBPs and innate immune pathways crucial for macrophage function.
Finally, Melanie Ott (The Gladstone Institute of Virology and Immunology) will describe the role that lipid metabolism plays in the propagation of the hepatitis C virus in the liver.
The final session, "Lipid Regulation of Protein Function," will focus on lipid modulation of protein function through direct interactions as either ligands for transcription factors or modulators of intracellular signaling pathways.
Fraydoon Rastinejad (Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute) will describe his recent structural studies of full-length nuclear receptors bound to DNA and how unique protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-lipid interactions have been revealed and have revolutionized our understanding of how ligands alter complex assembly to influence gene expression.
Benjamin F. Cravatt (The Scripps Research Institute) will present recent data on the enzymes required for metabolism of bioactive lipid amides known as endocannabinoids, which bind to G-protein-coupled receptors to initiate signals with diverse effects on pain perception, behavior, appetite and metabolism.
The third speaker, Jerrold M. Olefsky (University of California, San Diego) will discuss how macrophage-mediated inflammation influences lipid signaling that contributes to obesity-related insulin resistance.

1. The bright-line last-day-worked rule in a workers compensation case is discussed and applied. The rule is used to establish the date of injury for a repetitive, microtraumatic injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Under the rule, the date of injury is the last day worked.
2. The bright-line last-day-worked rule is not limited to situations in which the claimant can no longer continue employment because of a medical condition.
Appeal from Workers Compensation Board. Opinion filed August 31, 2007. Affirmed.
Christopher McCurdy and James L. MowBray, of Wallace, Saunders, Austin, Brown and Enochs, Chartered, of Overland Park, for appellant Blue Valley School District.
Frederick J. Greenbaum and Heather E. Sigler, of McAnany, Van Cleave & Phillips, P.A., of Kansas City, for appellees U.S.D. No. 229 and Kansas Assoc. of School boards Workers Compensation Fund, Inc.
Michael A. Preston, of Yeretsky & Maher, L.L.C., of Overland Park, for appellee Mary Ann Fletcher.
Before MARQUARDT, P.J., McANANY, J., and BRAZIL, S.J.
McANANY, J.: This appeal centers on the issue of who will pay for Mary Ann Fletcher's work-related injuries: her employer who became self-insured on July 1, 2004, or her employer's insurer who provided workers compensation coverage prior to that date.
Fletcher worked as a custodian for the Blue Valley School District where her job duties included waxing, buffing, mopping and stripping floors; removing tables and desks; cleaning; and other building maintenance. She regularly used vibrating equipment, such as scrubbing and buffing machines, to accomplish these tasks. She began experiencing tingling in her hands in 1998 or 1999, reported it to her supervisor, and sought medical treatment on her own.
In May 2000, Blue Valley referred Fletcher to Dr. John B. Moore, who ultimately performed cubital tunnel release surgery on her elbows. He repaired her right elbow in December 2002 and performed the same surgery on her left elbow the following month. He released her to return to work without restrictions in April 2003. A few months later, Fletcher again experienced tingling, numbness, and related complaints in her hands. She was again examined by Moore, who diagnosed her with carpal tunnel syndrome.
In June 2003, Dr. Edward J. Prostic examined Fletcher and opined that Fletcher's injuries were caused by her custodial work. He rated her as having a 15% functional impairment to the body as a whole.
On November 3, 2003, Moore performed bilateral carpal tunnel releases on both of Fletcher's wrists. He released her to return to work with restrictions on April 2, 2004. Moore rated Fletcher as having a 9% whole person functional impairment, noting that Fletcher's rating would have been 17% but was reduced because her grip strength tests indicated symptom magnification in half the tests.
Her restrictions were lifted and she returned to her regular work duties, causing her again to experience pain in her wrists, for which she received injections by a hand specialist, Dr. Michael Hall. She was again examined by Prostic who opined that she suffered additional injury and increased impairment, resulting in an increased rating of 20% whole person functional impairment.
On July 1, 2004, Blue Valley became self-insured with respect to workers compensation claims. Prior to this time Blue Valley had coverage through the Kansas Association of School Boards Workers Compensation Fund.
Fletcher continued to work with ongoing symptoms until February 8, 2005, her last day of employment. The following day she injured her lower back in an automobile accident which prevented her from returning to work.
At the regular hearing in December 2005, the ALJ found that Fletcher's date of accident was the last day of employment, February 8, 2005, and that her permanent functional impairment was 14.5% to the body as a whole. Blue Valley's insurer paid Fletcher's authorized medical expenses to June 30, 2004, the end date for insurance coverage, along with temporary total disability benefits due up to that date. Self-insured Blue Valley was ordered to pay all authorized medical expenses thereafter, together with permanent partial disability benefits based upon 14.5% impairment to the body as a whole.
Upon review, the Workers Compensation Board found that Moore improperly reduced his rating of Fletchers's impairment from 17% to 9% based on alleged symptom magnification. Thus, based on Moore's unadjusted rating of 17% and Prostic's rating of 20%, the Board found that Fletcher suffered an 18.5% whole person functional impairment. The Board confirmed that the last-day-worked rule applied.
Blue Valley appeals.
Last-Day-Worked Rule
Blue Valley claims the Board erred in applying the bright-line last-day-worked rule in Treaster v. Dillon Companies, Inc., 267 Kan. 610, 987 P.2d 325 (1999), to determine Fletcher's date of injury. It argues that since Fletcher ended her employment due to an unrelated auto accident and not due to pain and disability resulting from her carpal tunnel syndrome, her date of accident was prior to July 1, 2004, when Blue Valley had insurance coverage.
Our review of decisions by the Workers Compensation Board under the provisions of the Kansas Act for Judicial Review and Civil Enforcement of Agency Actions (KJRA), K.S.A. 77-601 et seq., see K.S.A. 2006 Supp. 44-556(a), is limited to determining whether the Board erroneously interpreted or applied the law, and whether the Board's decision is supported by substantial competent evidence in light of the whole record or is unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious.
The bright-line last-day-worked rule, which Blue Valley claims does not apply, is used to establish the date of injury for a repetitive, microtraumatic injury such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Under the rule, the date of injury is the last day worked. See Kimbrough v. University of Kansas Med. Center, 276 Kan. 853, 855, 79 P.3d 1289 (2003). The rule was established in Berry v. Boeing Military Airplanes, 20 Kan. App. 2d 220, 229-30, 855 P.2d 1261 (1994), and approved of by our Supreme Court in Treaster, 267 Kan. at 623-24. In Treaster, our Supreme Court stated:
"We do not limit Berry to only situations where the claimant could no longer continue his or her employment because of medical conditions. The expected result of Berry was for workers to be allowed the latest possible date for their claim period to begin, not for claimants and respondents to try to pick a date of accident or occurrence that best serves their financial purposes." 267 Kan. at 623.
Blue Valley argues that Condon v. Boeing Co., 21 Kan. App. 2d 580, 903 P.2d 775 (1995), applies, not Treaster. In Condon, the court recognized an exception to the bright-line rule in Berry when the claimant, who suffered from injuries caused by microtraumas, was laid off in a general layoff. Our court held that because the cessation of employment was not due to a medical condition, the date of injury was not always the last day worked. However, in Treaster, our Supreme Court analyzed Condon as follows:
"This retreat from Berry's bright line rule appears to be largely fact driven, as the opinion holds there was substantial competent evidence to uphold the Board's decision that restrictions placed on Condon had occurred by June 15, 1993, and work subsequent to July 1 would not have significantly contributed to her condition when she was laid off for reasons not related to her medical condition on July 6, 1993.
. . . .
". . . With the Board's decision being upheld only because it was supported by substantial competent evidence, Condon should be limited to its facts and not used to erode Berry's authority.
. . . .
"To the extent we have stated herein, the logic and results of Condon . . . are disapproved." Treaster, 267 Kan. at 619-24.
Treaster controls in cases of repetitive microtraumatic injuries, and we are bound to follow it. Noone v. Chalet of Wichita, 32 Kan. App. 2d 1230, Syl. ¶ 1, 96 P.3d 674, rev. denied 278 Kan. 846 (2004).
Finally, Blue Valley urges that Durham v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 24 Kan. App. 2d 334, 945 P.2d 8, rev. denied 263 Kan. 885 (1997), controls. It does not. In Durham, the claimant suffered a repetitive use type injury to his shoulder but lost no work from the injury until July 22, 1993, when he had surgery on his shoulder. He then returned to work in an accommodated position. This court concluded that the date of injury was July 22, 1993, the last day Durham worked in the position which caused his injury. 24 Kan. App. 2d at 336. Unlike in Durham, Fletcher returned to work doing the same activities that caused her injuries. For Durham, the microtraumas ended when he left work for his surgery. For Fletcher, they continued throughout her employment.
After Fletcher's diagnosis and treatment for a repetitive trauma injury, she continued to work as a custodian for Blue Valley doing the same work that caused her injury. She complained of pain and numbness associated with this injury until she left Blue Valley on February 8, 2005. Prostic testified that the microtraumas associated with her work caused her injury and continued through the last day of her employment.
We find no error by the Board in applying the last-day-worked rule to Fletcher's injury. Treaster makes it clear that it is irrelevant that Fletcher left her employment at Blue Valley because of an unrelated accident, not because of her carpal tunnel syndrome. The bright-line rule in Berry is not limited to situations in which the claimant can no longer continue employment because of a medical condition. Accordingly, the Board did not err in applying the bright-line last-day-worked rule in establishing February 8, 2005, as the date of her injury.
Fletcher's Functional Impairment
Blue Valley claims the Board erred in relying on Prostic's opinion that Fletcher suffered a 20% whole person functional impairment and thereby calculating that Fletcher suffered an 18.5% whole person functional impairment.
In examining this claim our task is to determine whether the Board's decision is supported by substantial, competent evidence in light of the whole record or whether the Board's decision is unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious. See Kimbrough, 276 Kan. at 855. In doing so, we review the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party and do not reweigh the evidence or assess the credibility of the witnesses. Neal v. Hy-Vee, 277 Kan. 1, 16-17, 81 P.3d 425 (2003).
Prostic's initial opinion was that Fletcher suffered a 15% functional impairment to the body as a whole. He examined Fletcher again in July 2004 and, based on that examination, found that she suffered additional injury related to her work duties and that her functional impairment had increased to 20% of the body as a whole. Prostic based his opinion on the residuals of the cubital tunnel syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome which Fletcher suffered after her surgery and the additional microtraumatic injuries she sustained up to the date of his last examination. Thus, there is substantial, competent evidence to support the Board's reliance on Prostic's opinion that Fletcher suffered a 20% functional impairment.

Post subject: The Peacekeeper [Chapter 4] A Madness Stirs
It's been many years now... So long the warrior has lost count. All of his men, gone. Wasted their lives for his cause.
"Was it really for me they fought?, is it my fault they're gone?..."
A few rusty heaps and a desolate ghost town of what was once a great base is all that remains.
"How did it come to this.... Why couldn't I prevent it"
As he reaches for another bottle, an alarm starts chiming in the distance.
"Just as well, the bottle was empty."
Stirring from a bed of empty bottles he rises. Grabs his rifle, an XR-140 Long-Rifle. Custom design with triage plating on the stock and reinforced pro-max quality steel for the barrel. A weapon any mercenary would be proud to have.
Making his way to what was once the observation post he brushes himself off and straightens his hat.
"2 incoming drop-ships... no one has been on this planet for years.. why now"
The warrior runs over to his ground-hog light scout bike and heads out to a nearby ridge top to scout the area and see whats coming
The large red planet has little to offer in the way of scenery. A few old wrecks from battles long forgotten and the occasional mining station. If you're lucky you may see a few bandits roaming the area hoping to find a victim to prey on but even they are only shadows of their former selves. Low grade technology and easy to predict.
Finally reaching the designation he hops off his scout and stealthily makes his way to a vantage point.
"So many.... what are they doing here?!?!"
Shaking from the anticipation of the fight ahead the warrior tries to make out what their goal could be or who their sponsor is...
"No one I recognize, perhaps a new Faction has rose to power in the passing years"
Something about the situation brought back a flood of memories. Years of watching his comrades and people slaughtered at the hand of the plague known as "Paranoia Galaxy Force" and the rise of the "Elite Resistance" who destroyed the lives of so many.
Bearing down the scope on the ships a symbol could vaguely be made out and an inscription..."What damnit, what does it say, who are you bloody bastards!"....and almost as if it was in plain view the whole time it becomes apparent and clear
"Sanctuary of Shadows"
"It can't be, why here, why now. After so many years of calm"
Their had been rumors of a new Faction starting up over the years. Gaining resources quietly in the shadows of space. Destroying the old factions and absorbing the remains. The ones who didn't make it away or die at their hands.
"Why are they here, what could they possibly gain from attacking me now, I have nothing left....no one.....no one...... fine."
The warrior stands proudly at the top of the ridge, dusting himself off he begins laughing.
"If its war, war they want. I shall make their blood pour over the hills and down to the valleys. Feed the buzzards from their skulls and grind their bones to the dust that covers this worthless $#^&hole"

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Author: Mourning Dove
Title of work: Coyote Stories
Greg Hirst uses a reader-response approach to explore Mourning Dove's Coyote Stories by immersing students in Native American storytelling traditions. Students respond to Mourning Dove's work by creating and telling stories of their own. Hirst models the classroom on a traditional "lodge," in which students become part of a clan and members of a tribe. In addition to creating and presenting their own stories, students listen to and critique the stories of others.
To prepare for the lesson, view The Expanding Canon video program 2, Part II. Online, review the Session 2 theory overview, strategies, information about the authors and literature, resources, and the downloadable print guide. Read Mourning Dove's Coyote Stories -- selected stories available in the print guide.
Teachers will need the following supplies:
Standards for the English Language Arts
Day 1
To provide students with a cultural context for the activity, teachers may consider screening video program 2, part II for them.
1. Greg Hirst begins by shaking hands with all of his students, inviting them into the lodge. He explains that by shaking hands, students allow him to be their teacher and he accepts them as his students. Hirst explains that in the lodge, they can feel at home with the storyteller and approach Mourning Dove's literature as a member of the tribe.
2. Hirst then divides the class into small groups or "clans," based on those featured in Mourning Dove's Coyote Stories. He draws a circle on the board and shows the connections between three clans: Salmon, Grizzly Bear, and Eagle. He describes each clan's qualities, and then allows students to choose and join a clan.
3. Hirst then asks the groups to choose a leader/chief, who will speak for them when they gather for tribal meetings.
4. Each student draws his or her face on a large piece of paper given to each clan. Hirst explains, "in tribal literature, oral or written, you absolutely have to know your face, to us, means identity; if you know your face, you know who you are. If you know who you are, you find your voice. Face and voice will bring the story out."
5. Hirst introduces the trickster figure, Coyote. He explains that Mourning Dove's Coyote is unique because it has two faces -- Coyote and Fox. Mourning Dove wanted the listener to realize that Coyote is really divided; he has two personas.
6. Each clan develops a story idea about how their clan's figure (Salmon, Eagle, Grizzly Bear) achieved its identity. A member of each clan writes the story title on the board. Hirst explains that all the stories will be developed, but he asks each student to vote for the story they think will be most appealing. The voting process mirrors the tribal political process, invites friendly competition, and represents the first stage in the process of strengthening the stories through feedback and response.
7. The voting activity is also designed to draw out the trickster -- the Coyote. Following the vote, Hirst questions a student who did not choose the story title created by his own clan. He then invites the student to sit in another part of the room and asks if any other students want to join this new Coyote/Fox clan. He asks the students in the Coyote/Fox clan to write their own story.
8. Hirst asks each clan to outline their story. He reminds the students of Mourning Dove's tales and the main tenets of storytelling: the "how" and the "why." As they craft their outlines and stories, he asks students to consider:
1. Hirst allows students to construct their own stories, but he travels from group to group providing support and asking questions. He urges them to "tell," rather than "read" their stories, and he emphasizes that storytelling involves both speaking and listening. He then asks students to share their outlined stories so that the class can respond with constructive feedback. Hirst prepares his students to give constructive feedback by asking them to listen with two questions in mind:

A century of exhibitions
May 23rd, 2013
Visitors have been experiencing art here since June 5, 1913
With notes from Jenny Rieger, historical site coordinator of The Grange
A hundred years ago, if you came upon the site where the AGO now stands, you would have seen a beautiful home — The Grange. If you walked inside, you would have been part of something very exciting: the Art Museum of Toronto's first exhibition in that space, featuring art collected by the people who owned and occupied the house.
Members of the local media had glowing things to say about the exhibition and the AMT's new home: "The Museum will undoubtedly become of the most interesting show places in the city," read the Telegram on June 5, 1913, while the next day the Toronto Daily Star declared, "It is the nucleus of an art museum which will doubtless grow, as time passes, to be a national treasure house." The writer went then detailed plans for this bright future:
The Grange is not intended to be an art gallery, but rather the germ from which such a gallery will be evolved. The trustees propose soon to make a campaign for funds with which to commence building operations. The main front of the gallery will face on St. Patrick street, which will provide with its new car line easy access from the heart of the city. The widening of Anderson street will also greatly improve traffic conditions in the vicinity of the Gallery. The site is a noble one, and the great elms of the Grange will for generations provide a worthy background.
The first exhibition held in The Grange in June 1913 was not the first exhibition organized by the Art Museum of Toronto (now the AGO). Between April 6 and May 31, 1906, the AMT held a exhibition of works by Glasgow Painters lent to them by the Albright Museum in Buffalo. In June of 1909, the AMT leased rooms in the newly built library on the corner of St. George St. and College streets for five years. The first exhibition held there was of works borrowed from private collections.
The June 1913 exhibition is special to us because it began 100 years of people experiencing art at this location on Dundas Street. It was never intended that The Grange be the art museum, although it was the site of many small exhibitions for years. There was always the intention to build a gallery to the north of The Grange and, indeed, the first wing of Walker Court was built in 1916.
The Boulton and Smith collections
The Grange, built in 1817 by D'Arcy Boulton Jr. and his wife Sarah Anne, was occupied by the same family until its last owner, Harriet Boulton Smith, died in 1909. Her second husband, Goldwin Smith, died a year later. The house had been in Harriet's name since her marriage to William Boulton in 1846, and it was her decision to leave her home to the Art Museum of Toronto. When Harriet and Goldwin died, their art collection and The Grange became the property of the AMT.
While we know what works were owned by Goldwin Smith, unravelling the Boulton collection is more difficult. The Boulton family loaned a number of their paintings to various fundraising bazaars during the 19th century and the catalogues of those events identify paintings' lenders by name. The difficulty is that they are listed simply as being owned by Mrs. Boulton without identifying if it is Mrs. D'Arcy Boulton (Sarah Anne) or Mrs. William Boulton (Harriet). We also don't know where these mainly European works were acquired. There were art dealers in Toronto who sold European works and copies—copies being an acceptable form of art. Harriet and her first husband, William, spent an extended time in Europe in the late 1850s and, using the travel guides of the time, would have known what galleries and copyists to visit to purchase art. William's father and brother were in England and continental Europe in the early part of the century and could have bought works then. But there are no records that can clarify the mystery.
The works of art in Goldwin Smith's collection are reflective of the era in which he lived. He commissioned portraits of famous 17th-century Puritans (John Milton, John Bunyan, Oliver Cromwell) from an artist named G. E. Sintzenich. In a purchasing catalogue for Sintzenich's copies is a testimonial from Goldwin Smith stating how pleased his is with them. He notes that "the Portraits will hang where all my guests will see them, and I shall have the greatest pleasure in showing them to anyone who may call for the purpose." They were hung in the dining room. Smith continued to collect copies and acquired a copy of Thomas Gainsborough's famous The Blue Boy among others. Included in his collection are also originals. He had a series of watercolours of Reading (England) where he grew up and other works on paper and small oil paintings. Photographic copies of the Reading works (copies we made to protect the originals, which would fade over time) are currently hanging in The Grange library. The Boultons also had copies in their collection, including a Madonna after Titian and a detail from The Embarkation for Cythera by Jean-Antoine Watteau.
As any prominent family did at the time, the Boultons and Smith commissioned portraits. William's portrait when he was mayor of Toronto and Harriet's wedding portrait, both by George Berthon, are hanging in the AGO's Canadian wing today. Born in Vienna, Berthon was the son of the court painter for Napoleon I and trained in studios throughout Europe. He moved to England and became the drawing master to Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel's daughters. Berthon came to Toronto in 1846, and set up his studio at 61 Yonge St., very quickly becoming the most important portrait artist in the city.
While there is no portrait of the builder of The Grange, D'Arcy Boulton Jr, William's mother, Sarah Anne, had her portrait painted by James Bowman. Bowman was an American artist who, after studying for eight years in Europe, moved to Quebec City in 1831. In 1834 he moved to Toronto where he spent a year painting portraits of important families.
Goldwin Smith and Harriet also had their portraits done by J. W. L. Forster. Forster was born in Norval, Ont., in 1850 and trained in England and France before returning and settling in Toronto in 1883. Canadian artist Wyly Grier also did a portrait of Smith. Canadian sculptor, Hamilton Plagenet McCarthy and Scottish sculptor Alexander Munro created busts of Smith (located today in The Grange library) and Walter Allward made his death mask. When Harriet was young, she and her family travelled for a year in Europe and a bust of her was done by the Italian sculptor Camillo Pirstrucci. It is on view in the front hall of The Grange.
The Grange as subject
The Boulton/Smith collection also included paintings of the house itself. Henry Bowyer Lane, who was born in England and moved to Toronto in 1842, was an architect known for designs of additions to Osgoode Hall, St. George the Martyr Church (now the Music Gallery) and numerous homes and churches. It is possible he was the architect for the 1840s addition to The Grange, as he was friends with the Boulton family. In 1847 he did a watercolour of The Grange that was shown in the 1847 Toronto Society of Artists exhibition. In 1875, Canadian artist Henri Perre also painted The Grange.
Canadian art in the collection
While the Boulton/Smith collection is largely made up of European works, the families did collect works by Canadian artists (in addition to the portraits mentioned above). Some of these are works on paper, including two lithographs of scenes from the War of 1812 and various watercolours. Continuing with the acquisition of copies, there is a copy of William Berczy's portrait of Joseph Brant. In 1852 an exhibition was held to liquidate the debt on St. George the Martyr Church. The exhibition included a number of works loaned by the Boultons, including one by Cornelius Krieghoff, entitled Windmill. While his name is printed on the back, the work itself does not show the skill or characteristics of a Krieghoff. During a cleaning of the work in 1986, a different signature was found on a rock in the foreground. Even this signature is mysterious. "C. Stanfield, Roy'l Aca" might seem genuine, but the abbreviation that an artist of the Royal Academy would have used was "R.A."
Madonna and Child (in the style of Raphael) was done by a prominent Canadian copyist who worked in Florence named Antoine Sebastian Falardeau. There is also a large cast plaster bust of Sir Charles Metcalfe, a mid-19th century governor general of Canada. It is the only known surviving copy, signed by Samuel Gardner, of what is possibly the earliest example of modelled sculpture produced in Ontario. A Canadian painting that is not a copy is a landscape by D. C. Grose, an itinerant English artist active in Toronto from 1860 to 1865.
How we're celebrating this milestone
On June 5, we will display three paintings from the first exhibition near Walker Court, and Gallery Guides will be on hand to talk about them.
In The Grange, starting June 5 and for the rest of the summer, see a work from the first exhibition that has undergone partial conservation work and that revealed its secrets to an AGO intern who was conducting research on it.
Also in June, Gallery Guides will lead "100 Years AGO" tours
Finally, cookies made from the 1913 Five Roses Flour Cookbook, the most popular cookbook in 1913, will be on sale in the Norma Ridley Members' Lounge and in caféAGO throughout June.

joshua's decision
My personal decison to be branded and tattooed, as a Jew January 19, 1996 by joshua
Well, in addition to my opinions about burial and body modification, I suppose I should explain my personal interest in this discussion. I have multiple body modifications, including piercings, several tattoos and two multiple strike brands. Some of these have nothing in particular to do with my Judaism, but three of them do. On May 1st, 1995, Raelyn Gallina performed two brands on me. One is an armband of alternating chevrons and dots. The other is a simple, 6 strike brand, consisting of 6 chevrons arranged as the points of the "Star of David." My decision to be 'branded a Jew" is, for me, a reclamation of my body and my Jewish identity. Throughout history Jews have been forced to identify themselves via the wearing of certain articles of clothing, or signs on their homes. None of these identifying marks were undertaken voluntarily by Jewish people. During the Holocaust Jews were forced to wear "Star of David" patches on their arms, and those in concentration camps were tattooed with numbers, much like cattle. So, for me to take the Star of David as a Jewish symbol of identity and mark myself permanently with it, makes me feel more Jewish than I ever felt before.
In addition, within the 6 points I have a circular "Star of David" tattoo and on the outside of the 6 points I have outlined the brand (with a tattoo around each point. These tattoos further highlight my personal commitment to Judaism. Perhaps this explains why I get so easily offended when people tell me that "I can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery with my tattoos." Not only do I intend to be/act as a Jew for the rest of my life, but when I die, I will most certainly be buried according to Jewish tradition. If anyone wants to object, take it up with God.

We are a mission school that has three different classes all focusing on intercultural communication, mission and travel.
For the younger students this is a gap year, an opportunity to do something different, exciting and at the same time learn more about their faith in a crosscultural setting. Teamwork is a vital part of the teaching/learning.
Most of our older students attend our school as preperation for 3-6 years of full time mission.
Our school name literary translation is "Go out center" - but is perhaps best described as the "Outreach Center".

Mostly Norwegian students.
Our students are young people who want to make a difference in this world with their lives. They are passionate and involved. They like to have fun.

You can google and get a lot of this. I didn't explore this site much, but here's one: Differences between British English and American words (vocabulary)
The Southern dialects vary greatly throughout the South. Someone from deep in Cajun country in Louisiana will sound as different from someone from Raleigh, North Carolina, as they both do to someone from Chicago or Boston.
In general, the Rs are softer. North might sound more like "nawth." Some words that are one crisp syllable in Yankeeland might take two syllables. Hail: hay-ull.
Nothing, not even Dick Van Dyke's awful fake British accent in Mary Poppins, sounds worst to me than a fake Southern accent.
Watch Andie MacDowell or Matthew McConaughey or early Julie Roberts movies.

Kernel Plans
From Openmoko
This document explains the current kernel plan for the GTA01/GTA02 kernel. The idea is to share the motivations behind the actual decisions. This is a draft, and the relevant suggestions will be incorporated into it.
We would like to try this model for one or two months and if we find we are doing something wrong we will update the plans.
Patch review process
If the patch has not issues that we can tell and it is relevant it will be applied. If we can tell it is a good patch right away or that it is a critical fix we will just apply the patch.
Otherwise we will allow for two days before applying non-trivial patches to allow for community feedback and for feedback from subsystem maintainers. In the ideal case we would get ACKs from other developers (like "i like this patch") but we don't know if we can count on this.
We hope that developers actually care about the development branch. If they care, they will helps us reject patches that will likely cause trouble because it will break things. We will also get more testing.
We will tag stable kernels in the repository.
We know that people like forks and code that does not change often, but the linear model is working with upstream kernel (with a lot more people involved of course).
We could fork the current Andy-tracking into a stable kernel. But, should we really do it? People could fork a stable tree and cherry-pick changes.
Upstream Linux kernel
We should have very basic GTA02 support upstream soon. Once we get to reach this milestone we will check what drivers can be included.
Issues to solve
Define how to keep track of the upstream kernel
How to up-level the kernel to latest upstream version? (We can delay this decision for a few days).
Patchwork is a nice system. http://patchwork.kernel.org It does not replace a mailing list but it helps keep track of pending patches. We should use it.

Phoronix: Myah OS 3.0 Beta 1
Hitting the web this past week in addition to Fedora 9 Alpha, OpenSuSE 11.0 Alpha 2, and Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 was the first beta release for Myah OS. This is a desktop Linux distribution that is assembled via custom build scripts and its own package management solution. This beta release brings forth a GUI front-end for the Myah Package Manager, Myah update icon applet, live installer support for EXT3/XFS/ReiserFS, and live installer support for installing to a USB flash drive. Myah OS 3.0 Beta 1 ships with the Linux 188.8.131.52 kernel, GCC 4.2.2, Xfce 4.4.2, and X.Org 7.3. While Myah OS is a one man operation and its developer, Jeremiah Cheatham, goes to the extent of creating a truly custom distribution, it's unfortunate that the theme and even the cursor are abominable from our perspective. Aside from that, it's an interesting distribution.

Ski Rack Vw Tiguan – An Honest Review
Top Ski Racks 2019THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Provider vs THULE SnowPack Extender Ski & Snowboard Shelf The right ski roof covering rack system is going to make life hitting the inclines a whole lot easier, keeping the inside of your lorry tidy and also clean while also drastically enhancing the amount of storage room you have available when you head out on this kind of adventure. At the same time, not all ski rack systems are produced just as as well as you'll require to ensure you're obtaining your hands on a platform that is secure, safe and secure, and easy to utilize all without having to invest a little ton of money on this critical accessory.
THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Service Provider
By far one of the best ski rack systems you'll discover anywhere on the market today, which is precisely what you would concern anticipate from this company as well as this brand name, the THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Service provider supplies plenty of storage room for up to four various collections of skis from all various type of brands and also all different forms, sizes, and also configurations.
This particular Ski Rack Vw Tiguan utilizes an adjustable spring design clamp system to ratchet down stress on your skis, firmly holding them without ever endangering to harm, damage, or warp the skis themselves.
The adjustable springtime clamp in the THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Provider makes it simple to bring both thick and also slim skis at the same time, and also the truth that the whole module has been manufactured out of 100% anti-corrosion light weight aluminum is one more large incentive, as well.
THULE SnowPack Extender Ski & Ski Rack Vw Tiguan
Similar to the THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Service provider in virtually every means, the just significant distinction in between the THULE SnowPack Extender Ski & Snowboard Rack in the THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Service provider is the truth that the THULE SnowPack Extender Ski & Snowboard Shelf can fit upwards of six sets of skis– or 4 snowboards– many thanks to the expand capacity of its innovative securing system.
The spring clamp system is maintained on the THULE SnowPack 7324 4-Ski Service provider, using ultrasoft rubber "arms" that gripped down on the skis or snowboards without ever before threatening to scrape, damage, or damage the surface of the tools.
This securing system also permits quick locking in as well as retrieval, enabling you to get your skis or snowboards onto and also off of your vehicle quickly without needing to worry about losing whenever at the auto that can have been spent on the slopes.
Both of these systems will certainly need you to currently have a traditional roofing system rack system ready to go, with each working as an accessory part to a roofing system shelf system, yet besides that it actually boils down to whether you can get away with delivering four sets of skis at once or if you would love to deliver 6 sets of skis or four full-size snowboards.

Year 11 | 14 October 2019 | email@example.com
Italy has announced a contribution of 1.2 million euros to compensate some of the world's poorest farmers for conserving and propagating crop varieties that could prove to be the saviour of global food security over the coming decades.
The contribution to a benefit-sharing scheme managed by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was announced on the eve of International Day of Biodiversity on May 22 which has as its theme: Biodiversity, Development and Poverty Alleviation.
The Treaty has its headquarters at FAO. The Italian donation follows on the heels of a $2.2 million donation made by Spain at the end of last year, and highlights the interest of many Mediterranean countries in the preservation of food crop diversity.
Mediterranean diet
Many of the foods we eat have their origins in the Mediterranean such as olives, oats, artichokes and dates, and Italy has preserved many varieties of vegetables only found in that country.
"The Mediterranean still has one of the richest food gene pools in the world and Italy, where even the kind of cauliflower you buy in the market can still vary from region to region, is very supportive of this issue," said Shakeel Bhatti, Secretary of the Treaty.
"We are very grateful to Italy for its generous donation and other support it has given us."
An essential part of the treaty is a benefit-sharing scheme that supports projects in the developing world such as one in Egypt to conserve rare varieties of citrus fruits.
There is another in Morocco to preserve wheat varieties that are resistant to the UG99 fungus, called stem rust. Some scientist have predicted UG99 could wipe out more than 80 percent of the world's wheat crops as it spreads from sub-Saharan Africa.
"Plant genetic diversity is crucial to confront the global challenges of food insecurity and climate change. Italy's support for the Benefit-sharing Fund of the Treaty will promote a sustainable and diversified food basis of smallholder farmers in the developing world," said Shivaji Pandey, Director of FAO's Plan Production and Protection Division.
64 food crops
The Treaty established a global pool comprised of 64 food crops that make up more than one million samples of known plant genetic resources.
The Treaty stipulates that whenever a commercial product results from the use of this gene pool and that product is patented, 1.1 percent of the sales of the product must be paid to the Treaty's benefit-sharing fund.
Other countries to have contributed to the benefit-sharing scheme include Norway and Switzerland. The initiative is on track to raise $10 million this year and has already invested in eleven global projects aimed at smallholder farmers in developing countries.
The Ministry of Agricultural Food and Forestry policies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs underlined in a joint statement that Italy has supported all aspects of the International Treaty since its inception.
By investing in the Treaty's new Benefit-sharing Fund Italy is directly and positively addressing global biodiversity and agro-biodiversity for a sustainable management of the rural areas and natural resources also by supporting smallholder farmers preserve and use crop diversity in developing countries, the two Ministries said.

September 4, 1919 - November 23, 2012
Formerly of Newburgh, NY
Dr. Torrence P.B. Payne died at his home in Fairfax, VA, on November 23, 2012, after a brief illness.
Dr. Payne was born on September 4, 1919, in Barbados, West Indies. One of eight children, he grew up on the Caribbean island and attended Harrison College, often referred to as the Eaton of Barbados. In 1939, he was awarded the Barbados Scholarship in Classics, the island's highest academic honor. Dr. Payne was set to travel for study at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, but the outset of World War II forced a change of plans. Instead, Dr. Payne entered McGill University in Montreal, Canada where he pursued undergraduate and graduate studies. While there, he earned multiple degrees and graduated with the highest honors, including numerous awards for scholastic excellence. In Montreal, Dr. Payne met his wife, Vasilia Marguerite Stavrides, and the couple married on September 29, 1946.
Dr. Payne was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha honorary medical society, a named fellow and diplomate in numerous medical associations, as well as a frequent contributing author to various medical journals during his 37-year career. He also served in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps during World War II.
Upon the completion of five years of residency in pathology at McGill and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, Dr. Payne practiced his medical specialty in Orange and Dutchess counties, New York. He served concurrently as the Director of laboratories for St. Luke's Hospital in Newburgh, NY, Cornwall Hospital, Cornwall, NY and Highland Hospital and Craig House in Beacon, NY. Dr. Payne also functioned as the forensic pathologist for Orange County. He retired from medicine in 1987, and moved to Marco Island, FL, where he began a new career as a successful real estate agent.
In 2009, after 22 years in Florida, Dr. Payne and his wife moved to Northern Virginia to be closer to family. They celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary in 2012.
Throughout his long life, Dr. Payne was a student of world literature and loved poetry. He knew Shakespeare well, particularly the sonnets--many of which he memorized. He was equally well versed in the classics. As a student, he learned to read, write and speak Greek. His children will always remember his love of language displayed by his recitations at family gatherings.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his brother, Anscele Payne of Barbados; three children: Michael Payne of Gainesville, FL, Barbara Payne of Paris, VA, and Maria Payne Rasmussen of Richmond, VA; five grandchildren: Christina of Washington, D.C., Michelle of Crestview, FL, Eleni of Washington, D.C., and Elizabeth and Alexandra of Richmond, VA; and a great-granddaughter, Kathryn of Crestview, FL.
A memorial service will be held for Dr. Payne in mid-December for family and close friends. Service details and on-line condolences to adamsgreen.com.
