EcoKids offering cash for gently used items
EcoKids, a children's consignment store at 2025 Bedford St. in Geistown, is offering local schools and organizations an opportunity to earn cash by bringing in gently used children's clothing, toys, books, furniture and baby items.
The store is reaching out to local parent-teacher organizations, preschools, Scouts, sports leagues and other groups that work with children and families.
Groups can set up a consignor account and alert supporters that they can bring their items to the store.
"EcoKids was designed to support The Learning Lamp's free after-school programs," said Angela Rizzo, development director.
"At The Learning Lamp, we spend a lot of time raising money, so we know how time consuming it can be. We felt that EcoKids could be a good opportunity, not just for us, but for other community groups to raise money as well."
Fundraising can take place throughout the year, with no deadline or complicated paperwork to fill out.
Once the group's items sell, it receives 50 percent of the sale price. All items must be in good condition, free from stains and tears and current in style.
EcoKids is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Information: 266-0111 or www.ecokidsresale.org.
Foundation receives grant for screenings
Conemaugh Health Foundation has received a $25,000 grant for prevention screenings.
The $25,000 award by the Edwards Lifesciences Fund will be used to expand Conemaugh's diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevention program, with an emphasis on diverse and underserved patients in rural areas, the foundation said in a news release.
This is the eighth consecutive year the Conemaugh foundation received an award. Of more than 200 grant recipients, only 50 received the maximum $25,000.
Screenings highlight the risks from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity and physical inactivity.
Health board seeking advance drilling notice
PITTSBURGH – The Allegheny County Board of Health wants natural gas companies to provide 24-hour advance notice before drilling starts.
The board passed the recommendation unanimously Wednesday night. Authorities say they want the advance notice so air pollution can be monitored at drill sites.
Pittsburgh is in Allegheny County.
The requirement covers shale gas extraction, including well drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The county recently approved a long-term contract for gas drilling on thousands of acres of land around the Pittsburgh International Airport.
The plan must still be approved by the Allegheny County Council and County Executive Rich Fitzgerald.
State audit targets regional jobs program
OIL CITY – Findings from a state audit of a regional job development program in northwestern Pennsylvania are expected soon in response to concerns expressed by local officials about how it is managed.
The Oil City Derrick reported Thursday that a Forest County commissioner, Robert Snyder, said he's been informed the state auditor general's examination of the Northwest Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board and a related entity may soon be complete.
The paper said local government officials sought audits, saying they had questions about the board and the Regional Center for Workforce Excellence.
Venango County Commissioner Bonnie Summers said a federal programmatic audit is expected to begin once the state auditor general's audit is finished.
The six-county board was established by a 1998 federal law and has a $15 million annual budget.
Kutztown foundry closing after 144 years
READING – The owner of a foundry that has been in Kutztown for 144 years says a decline in demand is behind the decision to close the facility, eliminating 130 jobs.
McConway & Torley LLC will close its plant on May 5 and lay off 130 workers because of a drop in demand, Nancy Farrar, a spokeswoman for Trinity Industries Inc. – the Dallas, Texas-based company that owns McConway – told the Reading Eagle newspaper.
The plant has been in use since 1869 and was purchased by McConway in March 1980.
In 2007, the company laid off 149 workers.
Rent help available for some disabled
HARRISBURG –The Department of Public Welfare and the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency will use $5.7 million in federal rental assistance to make some accessible housing more affordable for 200 low-income individuals with disabilities.
Pennsylvania was one of 13 states selected to receive this money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This effort will improve the quality of life for people with disabilities and reduce health care costs by giving the individuals the option of living in their own community instead of a long-term care facility.
The Pennsylvania Housing and Finance Agency and the welfare department will create the new housing opportunities by using methods developed through PHFA's Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and other affordable housing projects administered by both agencies.
The accessible, affordable housing will support three groups of individuals under the age of 62: Persons with disabilities who are institutionalized; those at risk of institutionalization; and those currently living in a congregate setting who desire to move into the community.
Information: 800-692-7462 or www.dpw.state.pa.us.

From the Ames Community School District
By Kathy Hanson
Some students studying environmental science with teacher Mike Todd are taking what they're learning about sustainable life practices beyond the walls of Ames High School.
Their art show, entitled "Lexicon of Sustainability," consists of 24 pictures in frames as "pop-up art" to draw attention to sustainable ways of growing food and supporting a locally-focused economy.
The students received a $500 grant for supplies, and agreed to show their work to audiences in at least five locations. Their next presentation will be from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, at the Iowa Farmers Union Convention in the Sun Room of the Iowa State University Memorial Union.
Payton Nowlin, one of the student organizers, said the project has helped her understand what's at stake in choosing to produce and consume more local resources.
"I know now I can buy things to help my community and so resources last longer," she said. We hope this project draws people who are interested in sustainability who will learn more about it."

Tremble talks with Black Angels frontman Alex Maas before their show at Lincoln Hall in Chicago.
The Pop Montreal Showcase at SXSW at Club Deville this year was great, and a number of Arbutus Records artists were on the bill, including the dashing young Grimes.
She spoke to Tremble about her voice, her visual art, and what it's like being involved in the tour-de-force that is the Arbutus family.
We talked with the Swedish band Junip (front man is Jose Gonzales) backstage at Lincoln Hall in Chicago before their performance. Find out what they have to say about the sound of their new album "Fields".
The tremble crew caught up with Adrian Quesada and Tita Lima from the new band The Echocentrics after their debut performance at SXSW 2011 at the Art Disaster Showcase at the Beauty Bar.
Tita, whose father is the legendary bass player of Os Mutantes, told us about how much their sound influenced her as a child back in San Paulo, Brazil.
Also, Make sure to check out Adrian's other grammy award winning band Grupo Fantasmo as well as his other side project Brownout!.
Totally awesome.
Tremble has teamed up with David and Aga to bring to you the "David and Aga" sessions. Everytime a band comes through Chicago and stays with them, we interview them and shoot a small performance. Here is Ferraby Lionheart singing his haunting tune "Corrine" for us at their apartment in Chicago.

Viral load may be more important than condom use.
Viral load determines how infectious bodily fluids are. Levels are highest in someone who is recently infected (up to 40 million copies in a millilitre of blood). By comparison, someone on treatment with an undetectable viral load has less than 50 copies/mL (see Figures 2 and 3 below).
When viral load is very high, it increases the risk from low risk activities like giving oral sex.
The risk of heterosexual transmission from vaginal sex without a condom is dramatically reduced when an HIV positive person has an undetectable viral load.
One study reported the risk to drop by 92% [1] and another by 96%. [2].
The single transmission in each study occurred when the positive partner had only just started treatment when viral load was still high.
An undetectable viral load does not mean that transmission cannot occur, but the risk is dramatically reduced.
When viral load is undetectable in blood, there are less than 50 copies/mL and often less than 5 copies/mL.
About 90% of times that viral load is undetectable in blood it is also undetectable in genital fluids.
This changes how we think of traditional risks and safety. So sex without a condom (with undetectable viral load) might become a lower risk than oral sex (with a man who is been recently infected).
Figure 2 – Viral load levels as HIV infection progresses
Figure 3 – The relationship between viral load and HIV transmission in Rakai Study [3]
NOTE: One person year in research refers to 12 months of data in a study. For example, 100 person years could be 100 people all followed for one year or 200 people all followed for 6 months. This is used when calculating risks. It allows for all the time that different people contribute to a study, even when this might be years for one person and only months for another.

Imagine yourself, on a Caribbean beach, the turquoise flat ocean flat like glass. Your kids playing in the swimming pool, your legs propped up watching the pelicans fly by, the smell of bar-b-que drifting through the air in the privacy of this home you've rented for your tropical beach vacation.
Villa Orleans is a rustic beach front home on the western side of Puerto Rico, in a small lazy surfing town called Rincon.
This beach front home has all the amenities you need, for a home away from home. Its 5 bedrooms open up to balconies overlooking the peaceful Caribbean Beach.
This is Villa Orleans. Need more room? We have 2 additional bedrooms. This Puerto Rico beach front villa is designed for your perfect family beach vacation.
Beach wedding? We have a wooden deck overlooking the Caribbean sea, and a wedding planner that can prep for 30 guests. We are a small facility and do not do weddings for over 30 persons.
Yoga retreats? We have the only beach front yoga deck on the island.
Villa Orleans Compound : Villa Orleans consists of 2 houses: The beach front villa, with 4 bedrooms; a one bedroom apartment next door, and underneath there are 2 bedrooms with bath. There is enough space, so visiting families or friends can share a space, yet have their own private space.
Video WalkThroughs: We have video walk throughs of the villa. A simple search for Rincon Beachfront Villa on Youtube will bring up our video channel. Watch walk throughs of all three houses and of each bedroom, so you can see what you're renting before you get here.
Write to us and we'll send you the videos.
Weddings or Yoga Retreats?: No extra charge for weddings under 25 persons when the entire villa is rented for a 5 nights. Why pay additional fees for small weddings? Villa Orleans is the perfect place for intimate weddings. We have a couple of wedding planners that take care of all logistics so your most important event in your life will be the most elegant and memorable.
We have a beach front wooden yoga deck and can help you with logistics so your yoga retreat will be great.
I am from New Orleans and back in 1990 I visited Rincon Puerto Rico. I fell in love with the ocean and did not return. I became a diver, spelunker, kayaker and surfer. I taught English for 15 years and after I moved to the mountains we turned our home into a rental.
In New Orleans we'd always escape to the Mississippi Gulf coast. We had a home in Waveland. I enjoyed the beach and sand, but on the water was always murky because of silt from the Mississippi River.
When we stumbled upon this villa it was abandoned. There was a tiny For Sale sign and we quickly called and scooped up the property.
You can only get closer to the ocean by floating in a boat. The waves crash against the house and at times come into the balcony.
The ocean is healing. The ocean brings peace and tranquility.
Villa Orleans is in the country, on the edge of Rincon. It's with in 10 minutes of Puntas to the north, or Sam's Club to the south. It makes a great home base to explore the island. When you get tired of exploring, there is almost a kilometer of beach front along this property with several areas where you can soak sun in private or play in ocean waves.
Other Activities: yoga, whale watching, surfing, sailing, scuba, weddings, snorkeling or just relaxing in the sun.

From Art to Part
SMU Center is Pioneering the Future of Manufacturing
By Ellen D. Mayou
Every antique car buff knows the difficulty of obtaining replacement parts. But imagine if antique car owners could go to their local auto parts store, ask for any part they needed for their 1955 Chevy or 1964 Mustang, and have it built in front of their eyes in fewer than 30 minutes on a machine that looks like a three-dimensional printer.
Radovan Kovacevic, the Herman Brown Professor of Materials and Manufacturing Processes in the SMU School of Engineering, is working toward such a goal.
Kovacevic directs the SMU Research Center for Advanced Manufacturing (RCAM). Since its establishment in 1999, the center has become regarded as one of the world's leaders in research on rapid prototyping. In rapid prototyping, also known as solid free-form fabrication, parts are designed on a computer and the digital data is fed into a machine that builds them one layer at a time.
Rapid prototyping can significantly decrease the time between initial concept and fabrication, thus reducing costs for manufacturers and bringing products to consumers faster.
The center also supports a variety of research and development activities in laser materials processing, waterjet and abrasive waterjet materials processing, welding, sensing, control, and numerical simulation of manufacturing processes and systems.
The center has received more than $2.1 million in grant money from government and state agencies, as well as industry partners. Nearly 200 engineers visit the center each year to attend workshops and seminars on the latest manufacturing techniques. The center also attracts graduate students from around the world.
"RCAM's accomplishments are an outstanding example of research excellence and productivity at SMU," says U. Narayan Bhat, dean of research and graduate studies.
Kovacevic has more than 30 years of research and teaching experience in manufacturing processes and materials science. A native of Yugoslavia, he received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Belgrade and his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Montenegro. He served on the faculty at the University of Montenegro for 16 years, and later held faculty positions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Syracuse University, and the University of Kentucky. Kovacevic holds three U.S. patents and 14 invention disclosures and has authored and co-authored more than 330 technical papers and five books. SMU recruited him in 1997 with the lure of starting a new program in a larger city with more industry.
Today, Kovacevic leads the largest research team at SMU, which consists of two faculty members, 10 Ph.D. candidates, a postdoctoral researcher, a Master's degree student, and a research engineer. Most of his Ph.D. students have earned one doctorate before they even join the research team.
The center is housed in a 7,000-square-foot facility in Richardson, Texas, that is widely praised for being one of the best university-based facilities in the country for conducting research in cutting-edge technologies. It comprises six laboratories, each focusing on a specific problem or opportunity related to manufacturing. One laboratory, for example, has developed a computer-controlled feeder that can mix up to four different metallic powders and make complex alloys by synthesizing them with a high-powered laser beam.
"These powder feeders allow us to deposit the right quantity of material to the right place at the right time for layer-based manufacturing," Kovacevic says. The SMU team is only the second in the country to develop such a system for making what is known as functional gradient material by laser-based additive manufacturing. Such material is able to withstand extremely harsh environments and has applications for numerous industries, including aerospace, mining, nuclear power, automotive, and biomedical.
Another laboratory has developed a technique based on variable polarity plasma arc welding for materials such as aluminum that are traditionally difficult to weld. The laboratory also is developing a real-time sensing and control technique for monitoring the quality of welds during welding, which would improve quality control for such industries as aircraft and aerospace.
Another laboratory focuses on sensing and controlling different manufacturing processes, with the goal of eliminating human involvement. "We want to develop a fully automated system that will provide a seamless flow of information from design to production," Kovacevic says. This laboratory also is developing an on-line tool condition monitoring system that could be used during welding of aluminum alloys by friction stir welding.
Currently, the laboratories are working together to develop a system that will combine several processes and devices to manufacture parts from computer files, either onsite or in remote locations. The system will be able to perform two additive operations such as depositing metal by means of welding or a laser-based additive process, conduct subtractive operations such as milling and drilling, perform "reverse engineering" to recreate parts, and conduct post-processing inspection of the parts that are created.
Kovacevic has called his proposed system the Multi-Fabrication System for Rapid Manufacturing and Repair, or MultiFab™ system. It would incorporate six invention disclosures that Kovacevic and his team have submitted for patents.
"Machines being built today are still single function," Kovacevic says. "Rather than use single-purpose machines, manufacturers could use a MultiFab™ machine and make almost any part economically. This would result in greater machine utilization and, in turn, would be more profitable to the manufacturer."
A MultiFab™ machine would be particularly valuable to the aviation, aerospace, and defense industries, Kovacevic says. The defense industry, for example, has shown a strong interest in having a "mobile part hospital" that could produce or repair a variety of parts in different environments, such as on the battlefield or in submarines.
"A system such as this could help strengthen the country's military readiness," Kovacevic says.
A company in Waco, Texas, has expressed an interest in marketing the MultiFab™ machine.
The Research Center for Advanced Manufacturing also provides expertise to local industries. Halliburton Energy Services asked Kovacevic and his team to help it find the best combination of materials to make its downhole tools more erosion-resistant. The center is researching the best combination of metal powders that can be applied in a thin layer over the tools, and then testing the coatings under an abrasive waterjet to simulate the harsh environments encountered during the stimulation of oil and gas wells.
"SMU's capability in this area of manufacturing will allow us to expand the capabilities of our tools, making energy production more efficient and economical," says Syed Hamid, who manages the Research Department at Halliburton Energy Services.
Research projects at the center have provided opportunities for more than 50 students – including 15 postdoctoral, 19 Ph.D., and five graduate – to participate.
Most doctoral and postdoctoral students who come to work at the center go into industry after gaining additional experience in such areas as materials science, controls, sensing, and modeling, Kovacevic says.
Four SMU undergraduate students have participated in research at the center through the National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates program. Six Texas high school teachers also have participated in research through the NSF's Research Experience for Teachers in Science and Math program and a program sponsored by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
"The center is a wonderful example of bringing relevance to the academic environment through groundbreaking engineering research," says Joseph J. Beaman Jr., chair of the Mechanical Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin. Beaman is one of several academic partners who have collaborated with the center on research projects and proposals. Others include Columbia University and the University of Nebraska.
Advancements pioneered at the center are incorporated into engineering courses taught at SMU, such as a graduate course in nontraditional manufacturing processes and an undergraduate course in manufacturing processes.
In 2004 the center and the SMU School of Engineering will host a conference for about 500 NSF grant recipients in the areas of design, manufacturing, and industrial engineering.
"The center is bringing well-deserved recognition to SMU and the School of Engineering," says Dean Stephen Szygenda. "It is a unique operation that combines academia, industry, and government toward a common goal of relevant and excellent research."

Center Offers Corporate Memberships
Corporations can benefit from research conducted at the Research Center for Advanced Manufacturing by becoming corporate members of the center.
Membership entitles corporations to full access to the center's unique facilities and expertise and provides an opportunity to recruit highly qualified graduate students.
Annual membership fees are based on company size, and can be applied toward research projects that will benefit individual or groups of companies.
"With many companies cutting research and development funding, it is more important than ever for universities to work closely with industry to address key research and development issues in manufacturing technology," says Radovan Kovacevic, director of the center.
The center can leverage industry support to gain additional funding from state and government agencies, Kovacevic says.
Local companies that have signed on include Halliburton Energy Services. For more information on corporate membership, call 214-768-4865.

The Economy and Its Influence on Toys; Fourth and Final
Installment in a Series Exploring the 4E's of 2009 Toy
As seen at Toy Fair 2009, toy makers have responded en masse to the
soft economy by serving up oodles of merchandise in the $25 and under
retail range. Hasbro introduced a wide assortment of new products that
sell for $10 or less, 80% of all Bandai America products retail for
under $25; Wild Planet Entertainment only introduced items under $25 at
mass retail, something CEO Danny Grossman is adamant about.
"Being in 'the fun business' now comes with a heightened sense of
duty and obligation," Grossman says. "While it's necessary
for families to cut back on spending, that doesn't mean kids need to cut
back on playtime."
Although price is of obvious importance to cash-strapped parents,
results of the 2009 Brand Keys Customer Loyalty Engagement Index
indicate that consumers are not buying based on price alone. Instead,
they are relying more on their perception of value when deciding which
brands to stay loyal to during the recession.
Consumer expectations regarding brand value went up 20 percent,
according to the survey. Those brands that aren't perceived as being
"worth it" will fall to the wayside, said Brand Keys
president Robert Passikoff.
The survey polled 26,000 consumers of 441 brands in 63 categories
earlier this year, providing examples the toy industry can learn from.
The brands that received the highest marks met or exceeded consumer
"There is a price-value formula consumers use to calculate
brand differences and to decide which brands to buy," said
Passikoff. "Shopper consciousness has shifted from just trying to
ferret out deals to looking for brands that provide value."
A bright spot which has emerged in spite of a weakened economy is the
toys for pets category, which seems to be recession resistant. In 2009,
the American Pet Products Association (APPA) estimates that Americans
will spend an approximate $45.4 billion on their pets - a $2.2 billion
increase from 2008.
A number of TIA members have entered this category including Warner
Bros. (under the Scooby Doo brand), Play Visions and JAKKS Pacific,
which holds licenses for the American Kennel Club (AKC), Cat Fanciers
Association and Animal Planet and also produces the Totally My Pet
Reyne Rice, TIA Toy Trend Specialist explains: "Pet products
are designed to promote active play and interaction between pets and
their owners, which is in alignment with the youth toy market
Pure product innovation will also continue to lure consumers into
stores even in tough times if the perceived brand value is present. Such
is the case with I Can Do That Games, a three -year old company which
has brought a fresh perspective to the preschool game category. The
company' originative play model blends active engagement with classic
board game moves, encourages cooperation and includes skill-level
options - a bonus to parents. Furthermore, all are priced under $20 at
"We launched the company in 2007 with the Dr. Seuss license and an
exclusive retail partnership with Toys "R" Us,"
explains Jacobe Chrisman, president. "Since then we have built out
our retail channel to include full mass and specialty distribution. To
date, same store sales are up 20% year over year."
In uncertain economic times, consumers and retailers gravitate toward
tried and true brands that they know and trust. Companies and brands
looking to succeed in this competitive marketplace need to communicate
why their product is beneficial to consumers. Those who are able to do
that at an affordable price point continue to be ahead of the curve.

State Rep. Mike Jacobs' bill to privatize a host of MARTA functions passed the state House on Feb. 21, despite concerns by public-transit advocates that the move could end up costing the agency money and federal grants.
That was nearly a month ago. In the meantime, word spread around the Senate that the upper chamber doesn't share the House's zeal in telling metro Atlanta's transit agency how to run its operations.
Last week, Jacobs, a Brookhaven Republican, apparently ran out of patience waiting for the Senate Transportation Committee to take up his House Bill 264. As vice chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, he added language from his MARTA legislation to two unrelated Senate bills in an attempted end-run around the Senate.
One of the amended bills, SB 168, which was originally designed to make it easier for companies to bid for public contracts, was suddenly expanded from 46 lines of text to 306 lines.
In doing so, say Gold Dome insiders, Jacobs has stirred up a hornets' nest of resentment among some very powerful players, including Senate Rules Chairman Jeff Mullis, R-Chickamauga, a co-sponsor of the amended contracting bill; Transportation Chairman Steve Gooch, R-Dahlonega, whose committee Jacobs is seeking to circumvent; and even Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, who doesn't appreciate upstart House members trying to cheat his chamber of its ability to review important legislation.
As a result, Jacobs' bill didn't come up in last week's Senate Transportation Committee meeting and, so far, hasn't appeared on tomorrow's meeting agenda — which, in quite a slap in the face, is limited to a couple of bridge renamings.
This year's General Assembly is scheduled to end next week. It's looking increasingly as if the MARTA bill has run out of gas in the Senate.

Description of Research ExpertiseMy research focuses on a number of different topics in biomedical ethics, political philosophy, moral philosophy, philosophy of law, and topics in epistemology that relate to those four areas.
In biomedical ethics, my work focuses on (1) the ethics of allocation of scarce medical resources (including organs) and on (2) the ethical and legal issues relating to the treatment and punishment of those with mental health and/or substance abuse issues.
In political philosophy, my work has centered on the issue of political legitimacy: what, if anything, makes political action morally permissible, given that political action constitutes action backed by coercive force? I am particularly interested in the connections between democracy and legitimacy, and in exploring alternative political systems that might be improvements upon familiar representative systems of government. A second set of interests concerns issues at the intersection of epistemology and political philosophy: how should we design political institutions so that they are both legitimate and epistemically responsible?
I have a number of interests in moral and legal philosophy, including the following topics: the moral status of animals and non-sentient life, the relationship between kindness and well-being, the relationship between moral responsibility and individual history, the philosophy of punishment and the role of the prison, the ethics of genetic enhancement, the philosophy of immigration law and policy, the purpose and interpretation of constitutions, the ethical responsibilities of professionals, and the ethics and epistemology of decision-making under conditions of factual, legal, and/or moral uncertainty.

Work starts on much needed housing development in Hartlepool
12:43pm Wednesday 19th December 2012 in News By Graeme Hetherington
WORK has started on a £1.9m housing development which is designed to help people onto the property ladder.
The Vela Group, which includes Housing Hartlepool and Tristar Homes, is transforming the site of a former nursing home that will see 22 two and three bedroom homes developed in Monmouth Grove, Throston.
The development is expected to be completed by next August and will include homes on affordable rent, market rent and a rent-to-buy basis, giving residents the option to become home owners as their financial circumstances improve.
Sarah Fawcett, head of development at the Vela Group said: "Vela is committed to helping people struggling to get access to good quality homes in a variety of occupancies. This development will offer some flexibility to people looking to rent or buy a home from us.
"The development will also enhance the neighbourhood by transforming an unsightly, empty piece of land into an area boasting modern, stylish homes."
The land was sold to the Vela Group by Hartlepool Borough Council earlier this year.
Mayor of Hartlepool, Councillor Stuart Drummond, said: "The council is keen to play a role in helping to increase the provision of good quality, affordable housing for local people.
"Working closely with Vela and local developers is one way of meeting the town's housing shortage."

Steve Goddard's Snowjob
In the last several weeks, Steve Goddard has posted a series of threads on WUWT on Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent. (see here and here and here and here.) In one entitled North American snow models miss the mark – observed trend opposite of the predictions, Goddard uses data from Rutger's Global Snow Lab to claim that the latest 22-year trend for Winter (Dec, Jan, Feb) in the Northern Hemisphere invalidates the CMIP3 modeling of snow extent as presented by Frei and Gong in 2005 in their paper Decadal to Century Scale Trends in North American Snow Extent in Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models. This paper is summarized at a Columbia University web page Will Climate Change Affect Snow Cover Over North America?
The Blunt Skippy
Joe Romm at Climate Progress is looking for ideas to populate his new Climate Science project (here and here). This reminded me of an old page I posted called the Four Points of AGW aka The Blunt Skippy. It sketches out the basics of AGW theory. Real Climate did a similar, but better page in six easy points.

The Salina Police Department arrested Adam Bowers, 34, in late August after he allegedly walked into Atherton Veterinary in
Salina, Kan., picked up a snow shovel, and threatened David Atherton, DVM. Lt. Scott Siemsen told the Salina Journal that Bowers had been involved in a domestic disturbance with a woman in the street outside before entering the clinic. Once
inside, he ordered staff to call his doctor and police, threatening Atherton before police arrived.
The Maryland Department of Agriculture is warning residents of the spread of canine influenza in the state, specifically in
Montgomery County. Between Aug. 21 and 31, 20 cases of influenza were diagnosed and two dogs died. The Montgomery County Recreation
Department went as far as to cancel its popular end-of-summer "Pooch Pool Party" as a cautionary measure. Dog parks remain
open, but signs have been posted that list symptoms of the virus. Dog owners are asked to be aware of symptoms and contact
their veterinarian with concerns.
A Mississippi State senior veterinary student was served a search warrant for the student's off-campus home that revealed
dozens of rare and very large snakes and other exotic animals including African cats, birds, frogs and tortoises. Starkville
Police Chief David Lindley told the Clarion Ledger that officers exposed an elaborate breeding operation for exotic animals.
He said the living room was filled with row after row of full reptile cages. Although authorities are investigating, the student
is currently charged only with misdemeanor city violations and was ordered to remove the animals from the city because they
violated local ordinances. The city apparently didn't have proper facilities in order to seize the animals, so faculty and
staff from Mississippi State's veterinary school offered assistance "to make sure the matter is handled appropriately," spokesman
Sid Salter told the newspaper.
New Jersey
Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J., recently announced a partnership with St. George's University in Grenada to
offer a combined BS/DVM degree. A St. George's release says students will complete their undergraduate degree in biology or
health sciences at Monmouth University in four years, and upon meeting established admission criteria, progress into St. George's
University School of Veterinary Medicine. Qualified veterinary students will be eligible to complete the first three years
of veterinary study in Grenada and their final clinical year at affiliated veterinary schools in the United States, Canada,
Australia or Ireland. "St. George's University joined forces with Monmouth University so that we can both positively address
the physician and veterinarian shortage and help the state of New Jersey educate and train well-qualified professionals,"
says Charles R. Modica, chancellor of St. George's, in a release.

UTAS Home › › Current Students › Student News › › Engineering students explore future options
Australian Maritime College (AMC) engineering students had the opportunity to meet with industry representatives and investigate their future career options at the 2011 Maritime Engineering Careers Fair held on Friday, 1 April.
The annual event, in its fifth year, was hosted by the National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics (NCMEH) and supported by 13 businesses and government agencies from across Australia.
Participating companies included Technip, INTECSEA, Subsea 7, DMO, Clough, BAE Systems, Austal Ships, AMT, INCAT/Revolution Designs, Department of Defence, Dredging International Australia, Defence Force Recruiting and DSTO.
NCMEH Director Neil Bose said the event reflected AMC's close relationship with industry and its ongoing commitment to responding to industry training needs.
"The Maritime Engineering Careers Fair is an excellent forum for our students to gain some insight into the careers that are ahead of them and for industry representatives to promote their companies and scope out potential future staff," Professor Bose said.
"In addition, we presented a number of academic awards and scholarships to high-achieving students. Many of these awards are sponsored by industry so it was a great chance for those representatives and recipients to meet face-to-face."
A resume writing and interview skills student workshop was run prior to the event, plus exhibitors and students got together in an informal environment with a social night at Launceston's Royal Oak Hotel the evening before the fair.

Ojai's Libbey Bowl appears ready to open on time
Despite some needed last-minute fixes and changes, it looks like the renovated Libbey Bowl will open on time, city officials said this week.
Crews have used up their allowance of extra days for bad weather, and extra costs are more than $20,000 above the $260,000 earmarked for contingencies. Still, officials expect to issue a temporary certificate of occupancy May 26, with the Ojai Music Festival staff moving in the next day, according to city Interim Public Works Director Ron Calkins.
"Our top priority is to get this thing done on time. For a month-and-a-half, we've been out of any scheduled cushion with rain delays. It's right down to the wire and we're struggling, but we're confident we'll be open on time," said Calkins, adding that the late rains this week had no effect on the schedule.
Calkins also said the price overruns were not unusual. "For a $4 million project, that's not bad. We don't like to do it, but we don't want to open a facility and have shortcomings. It's a balancing act," Calkins said of the overruns.
Built in 1957, the city-owned outdoor performance venue had become heavily damaged by termites and wood rot. It was torn down in July as part of a major renovation that includes a new stage, with the hope it would be finished before a June 4 gala that kicks off the 2011 Ojai Music Festival.
Festival Executive Director Jeff Haydon said he and the rest of the staff have been working with construction engineers to fine-tune the facility. "At this point, there are a million little details. The music festival has the most experienced production team and it has a long history in general with the bowl facility. Our team has been coming through at various stages testing how things work," Haydon said.
Calkins said the final details include where to place electrical outlets, and railings to ensure compliance with the American With Disabilities Act. Two 25-foot light standards that had to be manufactured in Virginia and sent cross-country were completed and shipped early and now are in place and being wired.
Haydon said a highlight was a recent acoustic test of the new Libbey Bowl. "It's beautiful," Haydon said. "We had a violinist play, and some of our staff members played clarinet and bassoon. Members of the high school band played with trumpet and percussion instruments, and there were three of us who sang. A small group of us stood in all different parts of the stage.
"I would say it's a very clear sound. You can hear a lot of detail in the sound pretty far back in the seating area."
Calkins said he had been worried about the acoustic test because the sound changed at each level of construction. "We went from plywood to plaster to the sand coat and paint, but as it turns out, they are very satisfied," he said of the sound.
Haydon said festival ticket sales are 30 percent ahead of last year's pace.
"Everybody is very excited. There have been a lot of players. Some of the players have changed, but everybody has uniformly seen the importance of the new bowl," he said.
The festival's gala celebration, which includes a dinner and concert, will be followed by a free day of music from noon to 8 p.m. June 5. For tickets to the gala, call 646-2053 or visit https://boxoffice.ojaifestival.org/public.

This 1953 Packard Mayfair hardtop is said to be a 55k-mile example owned for 30 years by its previous owner. Its carpeting has been replaced, but it looks very original otherwise and reportedly runs and drives well. Find it here on eBay in Wickliffe, Ohio with bidding below reserve and a $9,999 Buy-it-Now.
Dutch is on target. It's only recently this seller has been selling lots of cars, and that's when the feedback problems started in earnest. Most frequent car sellers have run into one or two cranky buyers with unrealistic explanations.This is way beyond a fluke situation like that. Definitely calls for a pre-bidding inspection.
Most of the EBay positive feedbacks seem to be for small parts bought and paid for by the car's seller. The important ones are for cars sold and that ain't anywhere near 90% good.
IMO the car is a nice non-pompous iteration of the traditional early 1950s Packard styling cues. Most 2 door Packards are the poor awkward siblings of the Studebaker Hawk.
I suppose if you were doing some sort of old NASCAR or maybe a Carrera Panamerica vintage racer, this would be an interesting, offbeat choice.
Monza, a quick thought on market values. Compare this car to the Caddy that was just posted this AM. In the postwar period, due to a series of unfortunate incidents, Packard kind of Squandered the opportunities of a pent up market, and the big three all leveraged economies of scale – no cars were coach built or hand built anymore, and Packard no longer had top of the line flagships capable of carrying the whole line up. This was an age of major shifts in manufacturing technology.
Caddy brought out a great new engine, and GM bodystyles from Caddy on down were pretty well received. Better suspension, drivetrains and build quality allowed Caddy to remain upmarket, while Packard struggled on with limited resources well before the Studebaker debacle. They soldiered on with the straight 8, etc. and ultimately became a middle class car for the most part. Cadillac, and to some degree Lincoln and Chrysler eclipsed Packard for the luxury/prestige market.
Comparing those two cars on BAT speaks to these differences and why one is significantly higher priced than the other – would be the case even if condition was equal.
Now I am a Packard guy died in the wool, but the truth is the Caddy will always be a bit higher on the food chain for that era.
Interesting report on the hidden rust on this Packard, a friend just got burned on a distance purchase and it firms up my resolve never to buy sight unseen…
Can we have random Gear-Ku haikus in the margins of the BaT Coffee Table Book?
Those gas and brake pedals look like they've had a lot of foot on them for 55,000 miles…
I sold a much nicer 52 Mayfair for much more last year. Mine was a real NO RUST car with perfect chrome. A real leather and broadcloth interior. Just to make this car decent would cost 10K at least. I have seen this car for sale in Cleveland for years. Beware as it has some major rust issues.
So we geezers can read them without our glasses? So that you can have a big slab of copy without having to write much? That last is particularly useful when you haven't much to say.
I'm on your page here, Varjak. When this was new I would have found it totally bland and boring; I was only twelve at the time, but pretty opinionated about cars, and to me REAL Packards had upright radiator grilles and separate headlights, although the Clipper was kind of cool. But now damn near anything from my own early years is to some degree embraceable, although not necessarily actively desirable. That's where this one is for me: if someone gave it to me I'd take it and drive it a bit before passing it along to someone who loved it more.
First job after college was in Wickliffe.
Winter is wicked on cars there.
What color-blind idiot picked out that carpet? Okay, that's nitpicky, but I hate to see three different shades of any color sharing the same space, and looking at that carpet, the dash and the upholstery all at once makes my eyes hurt. A good bit of the other interior fabric looks a bit ill-fitted, and the headliner seems to have some ugly stains, so maybe that old faded carpet would look more at home than what's there now.
Aside from that, it looks to be a sweet old Packard, and these next-to-last-generation ones (excluding the tarted-up Studebaker "Packards", which I do) have grown on me as the years pass. If I were shopping for one I'd probably hold out for a top-of-the-line Patrician, with those goofy chrome scoop thingies on the rear fender. And four doors; clambering into a Packard over the folded front seat just ain't right somehow.
Aw man, gear-ku, you'll get me snuffling in my cubicle…
@ gear-ku
You've outdone yourself. Your work is always appreciated.
Saw this listing a few days ago. Was very interested until I perused the Photobucket link for a closer look. Also, feedback was not reassurring to me. Great styling though. Love these.
I've always thought of Packard being a premium brand from a bygone era, but quality issues may have extended back to their golden age.
I have a letter to my grandfather from the then-president of Packard concerning his 1930′s era model. Granddad wasn't mechanically inclined in the least, so when something didn't work he didn't waste much time with it. His complaint was that every time it rained, the occupants of the front seat would get their feet wet. The local Packard dealership in Columbus, Georgia had been unable to find the source of the problem after multiple attempts. Granddad told them that if someone "asked the man who owns one" in his case (to paraphrase their advertising slogan), he would give them an earful.
The president apologized profusely and let him know that technicians from an Atlanta dealership were being dispatched to look into and solve the problem. I'm not sure if all of this transpired, but my elderly uncle told me recently that he remembers the day in 1941 when the Packard went away. It seems that somewhere around Eufaula, Alabama the Packard quit running. He walked into a nearby Buick dealership and asked them, "What kind of cars do you have for sale here?". He came home with a shiny new Roadmaster, which he kept for several years. It was a good move, as the war broke out shortly afterwards and new cars were not available until afterwards.
I second (or third?) the comments regarding this sellers feedback ratings. If you can't check this car out in person, have a knowledgeable representative do so. I personally would not deal with any ebayer with less than 99.9% feedback, unless the complaints were petty. These do not seem to be. Beware.
eBay feedback is kind of skewed- anything less than 99% + and the seller looks very badly indeed. That said, this Packard isn't worth a lot of fixing up at the price. Unless it is really usable in its current condition, unfortunately it may be a way to get really upside down very quickly.
It would be worth more as a manual shift car. The Ultramatics from that era don't have a great reputation, although much of that may have to do with the fact that it is hard to find folks to work on them now. I believe there are kits to substitute a Turbo Hydra-Matic, but on this car it would scarcely be worth it. Some have been converted to manual as well.
I do not purchase cars sight unseen (I'll fly cross-country if I have to), so I think that the seller's feedback should be taken with a grain of salt. After all, there are WAAAAY more positive comments than negative.
Given the huge number of cars s/he sells on eBay, you're bound to have a few buyers with stars in their eyes who fail to notice disclosed faults, or who expect too much. Then again, there's a reason I insist on a PPI before handing over the cash…
oh my, correction – not "cannot be sorted" rather, "can be sorted without too much trouble" This was an accliamed design, BTW when it first came out.
While not big dollar cars, I always thought the sedans in this series were among the best looking, well balanced cars of the first series of new postwar sheetmetal designs. (bathtub Packards were presented as new but were essentially warmed over clippers.)
Those familliar with Packards will tell you this series had pretty nice styling, but Packard sufferred some quality issues at the time. Nothing (ill fitting panels – hoods tended to come loose on occasion) that cannot be sorted, which would already be done on a restored example and likely tended to on a maintained survivor.
A closed model from this series rarely sells over $10K – likely because many of them were lower end models. That said, this is a pretty desirable body style and a pretty square deal at $10K IMO. It presents well, although I like darker colors on these.
Drop top triples the value and then some, Carribean triples that value for a really nice example.
This is a great car to drive, maintain and enjoy. A ticket into the Packard club who put together some pretty nice meets and tours.
Mechanics are straightforward but the Packard AT from that time was not great, and a common troublespot on the straight eight will be head gasket faillure at the end farthest from the coolant intake. Well worth the time spent to inspect/re-tourque the head if you intend to put miles on this car.
Help me understand why this is so cheap? Wouldn't a 2 door Chevy , Ford, Buick, Olds , Studebaker be twice as much? Is it parts or the color or no one cares for 50′s Packards? Why not buy, drive and bring it up to B- spec for cruising nights then you could always make it into make into a rat rod….
@Retro: thanks for that tip! Reading the neutral feedback is like a swat in the face with a cold, wet towel!
I had a good friend in the Packard club back in the '70s that had a beautiful Mayfair coupe. He doted on that car & I took many beautiful pictures of it. This car is more like my Packard was – bent chrome, rust here & there but a low-mileage survivor. Pleasant to drive once a month to the Packard club meets in the summer.
By the way, this ad is a good example of how ignorant people are when they list their Packard. There are TWO sizes of the straight-eight engine. Yet very rarely (I would say less than 10%) do you see the size listed. Why does this matter? Well, okay, personal preference…the 288 has a nice mellow exhaust note.
Before purchase I suggest seller's EBAY feedback be explained.
Fantastic Packard! Wonderful color as well.
Ask the man that owns one.

Does anyone know of where i can buy some decent wind deflectors? Iv looked on sheebay and found crap.
AUDI A3 3 doors 96-03 wind deflectors 2pc set | eBay UK
Team Heko wind deflectors are the good ones mate.
Cheers. I had forgot the name of these. Good reminder.
I have the set above , quick delivery , and a good fit
What do you have to do with the metal clips that come with the deflectors. Do they support the deflectors when it's sticking or does it always stay in the window channel?
Do these also stop the rain dripping through the window when it's been raining heavily and it runs off the roof? That annoys the hell out of me.
This is why I bought mine.
Didn't get clips with my Hekos, just double-sided tape which was next to useless. They stay where they're put anyway so it's ok.
One thing that should be noted: They might make your electric window think something is stuck in it. My window occasionally stops going up and starts going down again when it reaches the deflector...
Tried and tested with a 2cm opening the water doesn't come in :arco::sly:
Fitted these the other week, one of the best mods ive done for £30, no water dripping in from the window down or when the wipers are on :), looks good too :).
Ill pop some up in the morning.
I've got team heko deflectors on my T4 transporter, the first and best mod i've done to the van, only things I dont like is the logo on the rear of the deflectors, and the inside of the deflectors gets scratched up quite easily, but nothing a bit of compound / polish can't sort out.
They look nice mate I like

Earlier today I spoke with Halle Berry for an interview that will appear on S & A next week. But to give you a tease, the first thing I did ask her was whether she would be returning as Storm in the next X Men movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past, since Tambay, just last week, voiced his doubts about it (HERE).
Well, she did confirm to me that she would be returning in the role. Most likely. Practically 90% sure. And she nodded a lot too.
I can't say, and neither could she say that it's definitely a done deal, and that the contracts have all been signed, with all the "i"s dotted and the "t"s crossed.
She told me that are a few details that are still being negotiated which she couldn't get into. But since she did tell me that the film starts shooting in April, it's highly unlikely that talks are going to suddenly and horribly fall apart at this point, and the producers have to scramble to find a replacement at the very last minute.
Of course, it's very possible that something could happen and that she won't be in it at all. But that's not a possibility that I got from her.
And please indulge me to say that, though this is actually the second time I've met her in person, I still have to say that she is just drop dead gorjez.
Sorry folks I just had to say that.
Rose | December 14, 2013 8:50 PM
I think that Halle is a great Storm!!!!! I have to disagree with people who don't think she was right for the role, I think she fits the roles just fine!!!!! And I can't wait for the next movie!!!!!
ScriptTease | March 5, 2013 1:51 AM
I think Halle is the perfect Storm, and unlike everyone else... I don't think Angela Basset would've made a good storm. I don't think she would have clicked with the other characters.
Danny | March 5, 2013 12:17 AM
This is sad Halle Berry is a terrible storm I always felt that Angela Bassett would be a better choice. Although, I heard a rumour that Angela actually turned down the role of Storm and then Halle Berry got the offer. If this is true I guess Halle really did seize her opportunity.
Jennifer | March 4, 2013 6:30 PM
*falls to the ground, sobbing*
erick1 | March 4, 2013 4:44 PM
I've been saying the longest Angela basset would make the perfect storm. She doesn't look old in the face and has the body and voice Halle is pretty but that role isn't right for her the storm from comics is really old but doesn't look It
Simone | March 3, 2013 4:09 AM
Bryan Singer also confirm the name of the French actors Omar Sy.
jusme | March 2, 2013 1:43 PM
NO!!!! Halle was never right for storm. Why do this to us, AGAIN?! Zoe Saldana, Angela Bassett, hell Jennifer Hudson would make a better Storm at this point. JUST.NOT.HALLE!
getthesenets | March 1, 2013 11:54 PM
it won't ever happen but the woman from Besouro, Jessica Barbosa, would be a great Storm
Halle was never really a good fit for the role
most perfect people to ever play the roles though
Yul Brynner-professor x
Michael Ironside-wolverine
Dolph Lungren-Collosus
Eric Bogosian-nightcrawler
woman they got to play phoenix/dark phoenix was perfect
shame that Halle became Storm, they could have gone in another direction..at the time N'bushe Wright would have been a better choice but Halle has the name and the international appeal
QBN | March 1, 2013 9:52 PM
AngelaBassett is too old to play Storm.. c'mon now..
Turk | March 1, 2013 6:50 PM
Halle is beautiful, she has the body, respect, profile, and her acting is fine for the X-men Franchise. The central characters of the X-men series will sell the movie and unfortunately Storm isn't one of them. It doesn't matter if Halle Berry or Huckle Berry gets the role the movie will be a blockbuster and the studios are fully aware of this fact. DEAD @ anyone thinking they would give the role to Angela Bassette who I love but please. Zoe is overused and I don't see her fitting the role at all. Who else with a high profile is left? Congrats Halle. lol
Beanie Steinberg | March 1, 2013 6:47 PM
Angela Bassett! For the love of God! Angela Bassett is Storm personified and this is the perfect project for her to debut. Halle step down. You're alot of things but Storm isn't one of them.
Summon the Mighty Hurricane | March 1, 2013 5:44 PM
ZOE SALDANA Would be a perfect Storm! No More Halle bring in Zoe! She has Storm's exotic look, is tougher, and can pull off the accent better. Halle is too soft and has weakened Storm.
ZOE =Storm
Deborah | March 1, 2013 2:53 PM
Angela Bassett! It's not to late to right an egregious wrong! She's still beautiful, formidable and could make Storm come alive on the big screen. Make this happen.
Tyty | March 1, 2013 12:59 PM
I have a feeling her part will be very small, x-men 1 size at most, but it will help her profile to be in a box- office smash, something she hasn't been in since the last X-men movie in 2006 (poor Clou d Atlas, i loved you). But glad to see her none the less, I enjoyed her performance in x2 and 3
Melissaenafrique | March 1, 2013 9:27 AM
OMG noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol. <<< Comic book fans all over. Storm requires a TALL, goodlooking, smoothly brownskinned woman who can pull off either a Kenyan or British accent. Someone who looks like Iman, an African goddess. Halle Berry is none of the above. She is a biracial beauty queen under 6ft.
Aaron | March 1, 2013 8:14 AM
I still say Angela Bassett should've played Storm since the first film but good for Halle though.
Drigo | March 1, 2013 7:47 AM
Zoe Saldana? Seriouslyâ¦..Bitch, please. Storm is supposed to be dead gorgeous in the comics, and Zoe is hideous. Berry was a good choice. Can't wait to see her ripping sentinels apart.
ALM | February 28, 2013 11:41 PM
Ooooh, I think Sergio has a crush. ;)
Kris | February 28, 2013 10:54 PM
I was never convinced of Berry as Storm. She is not regal enough and doesn't display the same composure we are used to in Storm. I'd rather someone replace Berry for the role. Zoe Saldana would be perfect! Now let's get Cyclops back in this film!
CaliphM | February 28, 2013 10:05 PM
Your Comment This is good news. Considering the comic storyline, Storm definitely should be in this film and it makes sense that Halle would return to reprise the role.
Akim | February 28, 2013 9:46 PM
I'm sooooooo happy that she will be back as Storm! I was getting kinda worried there.

I WATCHED with horror as a couple, a man and his wife, came up on ITV Day Break on January 30, 2012, saying they are bringing up their son gender neutrally as they did not want him 'stereotyped by gender'.
They groomed his hair as neither boy nor girl, they had him put on a top with pink and purple stripes and made him play with all sorts of toys including dolls. I couldn't help noticing that the father was dressed as a man and the mother as a lady, not gender neutrally. They were obviously selling what they were not buying and carrying out this 'experiment' with their son for their self-indulgence definitely not to benefit him.
The Metro newspaper of February 21, 2012, carried a story about a five-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder (GID). Since the age of three, he has insisted he is a girl and the parents have honoured their child. (The Bible teaches children to honour their parents, not parents to honour their children).
In the same article, a social commentator Anne Atkins said: "Between the ages of about five and eight, I wanted to be a boy more than anything else in the world. Acute though my longing was, it was relatively short-lived. I am more grateful than I can say that there was no one around at the time to diagnose me with GID."
Today, more than ever before, sexual identity is a big deal. It is the in-thing these days to stress the equality of men and women by minimising the unique significance of maleness and femaleness in the home. This is taking a tremendous toll on generations of young men and women who do not know what it means to be a man or woman.
Confusion over sexual identity is epidemic. The result is more divorce, more homosexuality, more sexual abuse, more promiscuity, more social awkwardness, more emotional distress and more suicide that comes with the loss of God-given identity.
In scripture, God gave us a blue print for how the family is to function. The father is the head of the family. Together with his wife, he raises their children in a home where Jesus is the focus. The Bible is the most important book in the home. It is the responsibility of the parents and ultimately that of the father, to make sure children grow up in an environment that will enable them to one day become competent, responsible parents in their own right. This ensures the continuity of the biblical family for the next generation.
It is no rocket science that the devil is out to destroy all that. The family structure has been destroyed and, as if that is not enough confusion already, the Coalition Government in the UK is attempting to redefine marriage to include same sex relationships.
In his book, Growing Up Straight, (endorsed by the American National Institute of Health), Peter Wyden writes: "Research findings overwhelmingly indicate that homosexuals are not born but bred… there is increasing agreement that homosexuals rarely (if ever) occur without some important (or controlling) contribution from the parent.
"Many parents underestimate their own importance as models for the behaviour of their children especially while the children are still young… they should appreciate that a mother's acceptance of her role as a truly feminine woman will communicate itself to a daughter at a remarkably early age; and a mother's respect for the father's role as head of the family will help a small boy grow up to be masculine.
"On the other hand, if parents themselves are unsure about what constitutes appropriate male and female behaviour today; their children are bound to become confused about their own place in the scheme of things."
I dread to imagine how the "man" of the future would be like. Will he be this gender neutral, namby-pamby, spineless guy with no clue of his God-given role in the home or he will turn the corner and be a strong man rallying his family to the protection of the Cross against the devil?
We have to save our boys by giving them a role model to follow. When our boys have a clear model, they will know how to function when they assume the responsibility of marriage and parenting. But in this generation, there are many crippled boys who have no idea what it is to be a man. The devil has removed the males from their God-given positions of leadership and responsibility across the racial spectrum.
There is a shocking pattern that develops when I talk to boys who are in same sex relationships, their father was either not there at all or abusive. The absence of a father is a life-threatening condition for a boy. Fatherlessness is linked to depression, delinquency, violence, crime, gang membership, academic failure and difficulty with emotional commitments.
As the number of fatherless families grows, the problems grow among boys across the world. And there's no doubt that our boys are in trouble. Too many are underachieving in school, adrift and disconnected from their communities, overweight and overmedicated. What our boys need isn't simply more education, more medications, more money or more activities but fathers who will embrace their sons and watch them with the eyes of schooled hawks. Proper role-modelling is required.
Recently we shared a story of Rick Husband's faithfulness. When he died his seven-year-old son Matthew asked his mother: "Am I the new spiritual leader of the home? Am I the man of the family now?" Rick had modelled the role of a father to his family and the boy was not confused even at seven what his role in the home would be.
At age 14, this is what Matthew Husband wrote: "In a traditional family, the father brings justice and the mother brings mercy and comfort. When an untraditional family just has one or the other parent in the home, there is a void.
"In a family with just a father, the son could become a man that doesn't care about anyone else's feelings. On the other hand, in a family with just a mother, the son could be loving, but most likely would be lazy and disrespectful because of the lack of fatherly enforcement. In the untraditional family, it is unbalanced because there are qualities missing that a traditional family has.
"The traditional family is the best setting for children because it was designed by God. Based on personal experience, it is better to be raised by both parents."
One teenage male who had fathered six children was asked about his responsibilities to the various mothers. His careless reply was: "Ain't no woman gonna mess up my life." As a result of this selfish mentality, we have an epidemic on our hands. Boys grow up without male role models and so have no-one to emulate when they become adults. Hence we have a situation where millions of children do not know and will never know what it means to be a father. More poignantly, they do not know anyone who has a father or who is a father.
The world is at a crossroads in its history. It is my opinion that our very survival as a people will depend upon the presence or absence of masculine leadership in millions of homes. I believe with every ounce of my being, that husbands hold the keys to the preservation of the family and survival of the boys. Of course you realise that when boys become boys, girls will become girls.
How can you destroy your boys?
# By over-protection: this is the most effective way to feminise a boy. I read somewhere that by the seventh or eighth week in the womb, there is an explosion of the potent hormone called testosterone. If that neurophysiological explosion does not take place, the child will be a girl. Testosterone makes the boy aggressive. It's part of being male. They jump off the top of slides instead of sliding down them. They climb the rafters in the garage, hang on ropes and swing like Tarzan. That's part of being a little boy.
# By favouritism: Remember the Genesis account of what happened between Jacob and Esau that led to Jacob stealing Isaac's blessing and what happen between Joseph and his brothers when they sold him to slavery.
# By discouragement: please never say words like "You'll never amount to anything!" or "will you ever do anything right?" It just kills the boy.
# By forgetting that the child is growing up, has a right to have ideas of his own, and needs not be an exact copy of his father. Let the kids be themselves rather than be your clones.
# By neglect: Parents must spend time with their children instead of buying them plenty toys and gadgets.
# By bitter words and outright physical cruelty: Such children grow up confused and worried and desperately need to share their hurts with someone. Yet they are too afraid and ashamed to talk about it. In time the wounds of violence heal, but the scars remain forever.
You who are parents know that there are no guarantees. You could do everything right and your child could still rebel and pursue a life of drugs, promiscuity and irresponsibility. But by constantly and prayerfully building moral strength into your child's life, you greatly reduce the risk of that happening in the teenage years. A boy is the only thing that God can use to make a man and right now he is an endangered species.

Tenbears Martial Arts academy in Dayton Ohio is the only Southern Ohio Affiliate School of Marcello C. Monteiro. We are privileged to learn some great Techniques that come straight from the professor himself! We are going to start from half guard on this technique in Dayton Ohio, We are going to switch our base, so that my right arm is over hooking my opponents right arm I am going to be on my right hip, close to my opponent and scissoring my legs with my right knee up against my opponents hip. I am going to bait my opponent into thinking that I am going for the mount. To make my opponent think that I am stepping over for the mount I am going to grab his pants just above his knee. My opponent will try to push my hand off his knee when he does He just fell for the trap! When he goes to push my hand off I let go of his gi pants and grab his wrist, Next I pin his arm to the mat, I have two arms attacking his one, I already have the arm over hooked with my right arm and control of his wrist with my left so I am going to go for a straight armlock but my opponent defends well and bends his arm and grabs his own belt. That's ok I am going to transition to the kimura by grabbing my own wrist. I am going to pull my opponent up on his side and step over his head to break the grip of my opponent grabbing his belt, but my opponent has a very good grip, instead of playing muscle jitsu I am going to transition to something else to conserve energy I am going to keep a hold of his arm and transition to the other side of my opponent. I am going to put my chest against his elbow and stay on my toes for leverage. Next I am going to let go of his wrist and hug his head with a over under going to palm to palm or a gable grip. Next I am going to switch my base again scissoring my legs this time my left knee against my opponents back making it very easy to transition to the mount. I hold on to the over under as I go to mount, now that I am in the mount I am going to attack again. This time I am going for a gi choke that is very easy from the grip I have, I am going to let go of the palm to palm and grab my opponents collar feeding it to my left hand as deep as I can get it! To finish I am going to just take my right arm and feed it behind the head cutting both carotid artery for the tap! If I do not have the choke, I go to another attack that is ripe for the taking. grab my own collar trapping the arm taking my left hand and pushing my opponents face the other way stepping over for the armbar always pinching knees together and opponents thumb up, raising the hips for the tap!
Till Next Time!

Firefighters with the and spent the last two weeks battling blazes as part of their live fire training.
Jeff Sadtler, deputy chief with West Country EMS and Fire Protection District tells Town and Country-Manchester Patch that the key to a live fire-training session is they are actual scenarios that firefighters encounter, such as apartment fires and fire victim rescues.
"The biggest thing about a real fire is that they're all different, and you don't know what you're going into, " Sadtler said. "This training is unscripted."
He said that as firefighters go through this training, they do not know what type of scenario they are dealing with until the fire starts. Once the fire scenarios are set up, the firefighters' arrival on scene is staggered as it would be on an actual fire call. They then assess the scene and develop a plan of attack as they do on regular calls.
Firefighters go through this live fire training for four to five days each quarter. This week and last week, fire crews from both departments trained at Metro West's training tower off New Ballwin Road in Castlewood.
"It's mutual-aid training, so both departments are familiar with everybody's responsibilities," Sadtler said.
Patch readers can view photos from this training in the above photo slideshow included in this article.
