Accu-System's Model GS-1 glue shooter is designed to shoot a metered amount of glue for dowel hole construction, in furniture or case goods assembly. The company says it is excellent for small batch work, or for shops just getting into doweling that cannot justify an automatic dowel inserter. The unit has an adjustable electronic timer for setting the proper amount of glue. 435
The Rosenquist electro-flow is a high production continuous radio frequency edge gluer and rim banding system. This system will operate with feed speeds up to 20 fpm, with a maximum of four ribbons of material being processed at once. The radio frequency generator rapidly cures the adhesive while the hydraulic drive and retard systems apply the edge gluing pressure. A flying cutoff saw cuts the material to the desired width. 436
The Harvor Group says its Glue Max adhesive spray system virtually never needs emptying or cleaning. Glue Max is mobile and requires only 5 cfm of air at 60-90 psi for a smooth application of a wide range of solvent-based glues. 437
Adwood Corp. presents a new line of hand held glue spreaders for common wood glues and contact cement. Two models are available -- one economical 5 1/2-in. spreader with sturdy ABS hopper and one heavy-duty 7 in. aluminum spreader. Both spreaders have a glue flow control in order to spread an even and uniform coat of glue to the substrate. A special storage container avoids daily cleaning. 438
Nordson Corp.'s Model 5550 Bulk Melter/Applicator melts and pumps directly from a 55-gal drum in conjunction with Nordson manual or automatic guns for spray or bead extrusion in either single or dual gun/hose applications. 439
Polzer electrically heated single station gluing machines, available from Abrasive Engineering & Mfg., glue solid wood, laminate and layers of wood. Features of the Type EVS-1 include: six hydraulic cylinders, two hydraulic cylinders for top plate pressure, two heating plates with Eloxal coating and thermostat-control at 6 kW, automatic timer, ejector plate and safety fence. 440

Sunday night's best chances will begin after dark and continue through the night. A line of rain and thunderstorms over Kansas and Nebraska is tracking east and should begin to move into St. Joseph around 9 p.m.
Rain chances will continue through the night and into Monday morning. The most apparent threat appears to be heavy rain and stronger winds.
Temperatures Monday should peak in the mid-80s with more rain chances in the morning hours.

HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County could quite conceivably be sporting a 3-1 record right now. Martinsville has as much athletic ability as any team in this end of the state.
Call it the game of the week among teams with a combined 1-7 record.
For a myriad of reasons, the Cavaliers (0-4) and the Bulldogs (1-3) just haven't gotten it done in the win column so far this year, but one of the two will add a W tonight when they meet for a nondistrict game at Dan Green Stadium.
HILLSVILLE –– Carroll County dominated early but faded down the stretch and suffered a rare Southwest District volleyball defeat Tuesday night, falling to Richlands 12-25, 20-25, 25-17, 25-23, 15-9.
Defeated soundly in the first two sets, Richlands came to life in the third and won the final three sets to eke out the win. Carroll County (7-4 overall, 0-1 district) was on its way to a 3-0 match win, leading 11-9 in the third set, when the Blue Tornado went on a 9-1 run to take control.
HILLSVILLE –– More than 400 runners representing 24 schools made the 2011 Maroon Tide Invitational cross country meet the largest in its 18-year history, giving more credence to the fact that the Galax varsity teams had their best showings in a decade.
The 3.1-mile Southwestern Virginia Training Center course will host the Region C meet in a few weeks, making the event an attractive stop on the cross country circuit for several Southwest Virginia schools.
NEW CASTLE –– Galax rolled to a 49-0 halftime lead and remained undefeated on the year, swamping Craig County 49-14 in a nondistrict game Friday night.
The Maroon Tide (5-0) got one big play after another in the high-scoring first half, starting with its special teams. After holding the Rockets (2-3) to a three-and-out, Galax was on the board the first time it touched the ball when Deion George returned a Craig County punt 77 yards for a touchdown. Eli Brady knocked through the first of his seven PAT kicks for a quick 7-0 Galax lead.
DRAPER –– The Galax golf team continued to rack up the wins last week, taking a pair of three-team matches on Tuesday and Thursday.
Thursday at Draper Valley Golf Club, the Maroon Tide shot a composite 152 to defeat Grayson County (185) and host Fort Chiswell (209).
John Bryant was low man for Galax, overcoming rainy, chilly conditions to turn in an even-par 36 on the front nine. Matt Downey was a single stroke back at 37 while Ben Hill (39) and Eddie Hanks (40) were also strong.
Galax won its fourth consecutive Fort Chiswell Invitational championship on Saturday and followed with an easy nondistrict win over Pulaski County on Monday to improve to 11-1 on the season.
The Maroon Tide's 25-19, 25-17, 25-11 win Monday was its 10th straight since falling to Carroll County on Aug. 29. Galax trailed for just one point all night before finishing off the Cougars.
Leading 3-2 in the first set, Galax got a Paige Hanks ace and a Bailey Shumate dink to surge ahead 7-2.
Galax football coach Mark Dixon has seen his team successfully navigate its way through some name-recognition schools. He did his best this week to make sure there was no plunge in the intensity level leading up to Friday.
Having notched wins over Glenvar, Floyd County, Eastern Montgomery and most recently Radford, Dixon could foresee a possible letdown with Craig County on the horizon.
Grayson County showed Galax in one game just how far it has come in one year. Galax showed in all three that there is still work to do.
Galax's versatility and experience shone through in the key moments of a first-set win and carried on through the rest of the evening as the Maroon Tide took a 26-24, 25-11, 25-21 win in a Mountain Empire District volleyball match Thursday.
INDEPENDENCE –– Grayson County was favored to beat Clintwood Friday night but no one expected the manner in which the Blue Devils won the nondistrict game.
Grayson County put 58 points on the board in the first half and coasted in the second half to a 61-6 nondistrict victory to remain undefeated with a 4-0 record.
Actually, Grayson County scored 58 points in a span of 14 minutes and 7 seconds of the first half.
BLUEFIELD –– Galax gave Graham a rude welcome to the Mountain Empire District volleyball scene, rolling to a 25-10, 25-10, 25-7 win Thursday night.
Allison White led the Maroon Tide (4-1, 1-0) at the net with 10 kills and a pair of blocks, Paige Hanks had five aces among her 12 serving points and Grace Wilson had nine assists and seven points.
Bailey Shumate, Taylor Bryant and Harley Brewer combined for 15 kills and Carolyn Vaughan served for 10 points.

MVP group not interested in PAL
popular .
Businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan said his group was not keen on buying into flag carrier Philippine Airlines.
He made the statement in reaction to reports saying he was among those being offered to acquire tycoon Lucio Tan's 51-percent stake in the airline.
Pangilinan, who heads some of the country's biggest companies like Metro Pacific Investments Corp. and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., said there was no current plan to buy an airline.
"It's not our business," Pangilinan told reporters in a chance interview at the sidelines of the launch of this year's The Outstanding Young Men award.
Biz Buzz reported on Monday that Pangilinan's camp was being offered a stake in Philippine Airlines, after Tan's group signified its intent to exit the airline business after two decades.
Tans' group began its exit from PAL in 2012, when it sold 49 percent of Philippine Airlines to San Miguel Corp.—whose president, Ramon Ang, vowed to bring the airline back to profitability by 2014. San Miguel was initially tagged as the prospective buyer of Tan's remaining shares although the company denied this earlier this month.
San Miguel's buy-in price was pegged at $500 million and reports noted that Tan was looking to unload his remaining shares for about the same price.
Philippine Airlines has been operating in a difficult business environment. In recent years, it has been affected by increasing competition from aggressive players including Cebu Pacific, a Gokongwei-led budget carrier, and rising fuel costs. Restrictions imposed by United States and European regulators on Philippine carriers have prevented PAL from expanding in those jurisdictions.
Trading of PAL Holdings Inc., the listed holding company of Philippine Airlines, at the Philippine Stock Exchange remained suspended as the company had yet to comply with the 10 percent minimum public ownership rule of the bourse.
Ang said earlier that PAL Holdings, which has a public float of just 0.55 percent, would comply with the said rule within the month. PAL Holdings, which last traded on Dec. 28 last year, closed at P4.90 each, giving it a market value of P109.9 billion.

In addition to the coming restructuring of the Rs and the marginalization of the "base" as the mods leave permanently or come back and relegate the fringe to the corner, the Ds have their own reconfig to consider. Analogous to the DeLay redistricting in TX (more R dists, more diluted), some new Ds will be more centrist, continuing the trend from '06.
[Sarah] Palin is an elected governor with an 80% approval rating. Should I assume that you could not vote for Kerry in 2004 because of his choice of John Edwards? I'm betting that John Kerry was your guy.
Joe the Plumber is emblematic of everything that the Democrats fear. He represents the working class man who aspires to build a good life and to own his own business. He knows how the Dems see him—as a target from whom they will confiscate money to fund their vision of expanded government that will make the Great Society look like a blip on the radar screen.
Many folks will be disappointed if they believe that Obama is a moderate. As Bill Clinton stated, "this is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.
I think the idea of the detestable and malevolent Al Franken as Senator from Minnesota is almost more repellent than the idea of the Great and Mighty Obama as Commander in Chief.

Minnesota transportation officials are pushing forward plans to build a bridge spanning the St. Croix River, even though federal approval is still pending. The St. Croix River is protected under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers act, and any development will require federal approval.

An odd week saw low key releases that you may have missed but included enough gems to make a trip to the rental store worth the gas.
"Batman: Assault on Arkham" — When the government needs information from Batman's enemy, The Riddler, they recruit a team of villains to break into the titular location and steal it. They call themselves "The Suicide Squad," but one of their number used to work for the Joker and she frees her old boss, which brings on the wrath of Batman. Good stuff with lots of action. Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy, who did the honors for the 1990s animated Batman series.
"Mr. Majestyk" — When a Vietnam veteran tries to make an honest living as a melon farmer, he runs afoul of the mob and corrupt cops in this excellent 1970s actioner from the pen of Elmore Leonard ("Justified"). Charles Bronson stars and it's one of his better roles, as he tussles with thugs like Al Letteri and Paul Koslo. Great dialogue as only Leonard could write it.
"Filth" — An alcoholic detective with a ton of vices begins to fall apart as he investigates the death of a Japanese student in Scotland in this comedy/drama by Irvine Welsh ("Trainspotting"). This is a fine adaptation of the novel. Unfortunately, you have to be in a dark mood to enjoy it, as the lead character makes the "Bad Lieutenant" look like Dudley Dooright. James McAvoy stars and is quite good as the twisted hero.
"Rage" — A retired criminal gets drawn back into the lifestyle after his daughter is kidnapped in this low key action/drama. Nicholas Cage stars as a man who left the criminal life when his wife died, so he could concentrate on raising his daughter and sparing her from the underworld lifestyle. Unfortunately, he must get knee-deep in it to get her back. This is no day at the beach, folks, and it doesn't have the occasional laughs that "Filth," does but it is worth watching if you are tired of squeaky clean Hollywood crime flicks.

II (19%), Korea (18%), and during the Gulf War era (1991-2001) (13%). Of those using the VA health-care system, 60% have no private or Medigap insurance; and two-thirds of veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system have an annual income of less than $20,000/year. Of enrolled veterans, 84% are white, 10% are black, 4.6% are American Indian or Alaskan Native, 0.7% are Asian, and 0.5% are native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (VA, 2006a).
In 2004 (the most recent year for which data are available), the national unemployment rate of VA enrollees was estimated to be 15.6%, which is substantially higher than the average annual unemployment rate of 5.5% in the general population. VA attributes that high rate to higher rates of disability. A 2007 survey of recently separated veterans, most of whom had served in Iraq or Afghanistan, found that 18% were unemployed; of those who were employed, 25% earned less than $22,000/year (VA, 2008a). In 2005, nearly 67% of the veteran enrollees in the VA health-care system were married, 15% were divorced, 9% had never been married, 7% were widowed, and 2% were separated from their spouses (VA, 2006a).
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates of smoking prevalence in the general population show that 19.8% of adults in the United States were smokers in 2007, a slight decline from 20.8% in 2006 (CDC, 2008a). Smoking prevalence was higher among men (22.3%) than among women (17.4%) (CDC, 2008a).
Although tobacco use has declined since World War II among military personnel, it remains an important issue for DoD and VA. A series of surveys of health-related behaviors in active-duty military personnel showed that tobacco use within the 30 days before a survey decreased from 51.0% in 1980 to 32.2% in 2005 (see Figure 2-1); this trend was observed consistently among all the services (DoD, 2006b). Smoking rates in 2005 among 18–25 year old military men (42.4%) and women (29.2%) (overall rate, 40.0%) were higher than the overall rate among their civilian counterparts (35.4%) (DoD, 2006b). Despite the decline, there had recently been an increase (within the preceding 30 days) from 1998 (29.9%) to 2005 (32.2%) among the services (DoD, 2006b).

Report from the Gaza Strip. (Current Affairs).
With Israeli tanks still placed deep inside the Gaza Strip and most of the West Bank cities surrounded by the Israeli army, the Arab call to Palestinians to "halt the violence" and implement security arrangements that would essentially save Israeli lives while Palestinian lives remain threatened, is unprecedented. The almost daily loss of life on the Palestinian side, goes largely unreported, while every Israeli casualty is widely broadcast as being the result of "Palestinian violence". The Israelis are reported as making concessions by not launching major invasions, meanwhile, their `minor' daily invasions are reported as mere `incursions', `retaliatory missions', or simply `operations'.
The Palestinians have been annoyed by demands from Israel and the US for PNA internal reform. This, they feel, is an internal matter, for which they have pushed for nearly half a decade. When the perceived dishonest broker, the US, and the enemy, Israel, come out and demand Palestinian reforms it is seen as interference and possibly a "devious" ploy.
On the one hand Palestinians are sick of violence, having been on the receiving end of it for more than half a century. On the other hand the Israeli yolk around their necks continues to suffocate them. After almost a decade of negotiations they feel they have seen insufficient evidence of Israeli goodwill, in fact they have seen almost none.
Illegal Israeli confiscation of Arab land, denying the Palestinians rights to property legally theirs, as well as restricting freedom of movement, access to water resources on their own land and the right to self determination, has only reinforced Palestinian disgust with Israel. More than that, it has created anger and opposition to the Palestinian leadership, which is widely seen as weak, corrupt and worst of all, partially co-opted by the Israelis and their American patrons.
Among the ruling leadership, only Arafat and to a greater degree local leaders, such as Marwan Barghouti, are seen as still holding true to the much-curtailed Palestinian dream of a homeland cum State in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
With Arafat clearly unwell after his month long confinement to three rooms in his Ramallah compound, and the likes of Barghouti dead or in Israeli dungeons, horizons have shrunk. Palestinians now believe that there is indeed a plan, mapped out by Israelis; sanctified by the US administration; swallowed by the Arab governments and now, imposed upon them. The plan is one, which spells surrender.
Arafat is unwilling to sign the declaration of surrender to the occupier. But some of his handpicked lieutenants, who have become increasingly visible, are clearly headed in that direction.
Ahmad Qurei, (Abu Ala'a) and Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) until recently, "heirs" to Arafat's reign, have all but disappeared into the woodwork.
So, who are these new Palestinian lieutenants? There is no great line-up. Just the same old hands reshuffled. Increasingly prominent is the head of preventive security in Gaza, Mohammed Dahlan, a 41-year-old veteran of the first Intifada, trained in preventive security matters by the CIA. Then there is Mohammad Rashid, also known as Khalid Salam. Rashid is an Iraqi Kurd who joined the once awe inspiring Palestinian revolution in its heyday some 25 years, or more, ago. Now, the 50 something outsider has harnessed considerable economic influence, as a result of Arafat's trust and backroom support. Palestinians think even less of him than they do of Dahlan, who, they say, ordered the torture of fellow Palestinians imprisoned upon his orders in the mid-1990s.
Many analysts fear this potent combination of influences from men most Palestinians believe have "no national loyalty" and could easily sell them down the river.
With everyone selling them short the sole Palestinian hope lies with their own reformers. These are, of course, not the Arafat lieutenants who shake hands with Shimon Peres while Israeli tanks still occupy most of the Palestinian areas. The reformers come from another clay and cast, representing the educated, not always populist civil society that, in part, led the Palestinians during the final phase of the first Intifada.
Mustapha Barghouti is sometimes mistaken for his distant cousin the Fatah leader now in jail. This Stanford graduate is an eloquent speaker. His niche, thus far, has been medicine rather than politics. But the very visible service provided by the two health organisations he leads and his frequent appearance on satellite television across the Arab world, has brought him to the attention of every Palestinian household. With each Palestinian city and district divided from its neighbours by the Israeli army and its barriers, a national leadership is not an easy thing to build.
Barghouti's first problem arose from the fact that he is, for all practical purposes, a political independent. Initially a member of the Peoples Party, a left wing progressive political grouping. He could assume a high profile in reformist Palestinian politics and is tipped as a runner for parliament and possibly the presidential race in the post-Arafat era.
Hanan Ashrawi, the famous Palestinian spokeswoman, who became a talk show hit during the first Intifada, has had many ups and downs in the last decade. Initially, she was faced with deep animosity from Arafat himself, whose first cabinet she joined. Later, she raised millions of dollars to found a nongovernmental office (NGO), MIFTA, whose aim and target group remains uncertain. With the exception of a very informative web-site, www.miftah.org, it is sometimes difficult to discern what this outfit actually does to help the Palestinian people. However, Ashrawi exited the Palestinian political scene leaving a major gap in eloquent and mature spokespersons to convey the increasingly misrepresented Palestinian messages to the international community.
Her acceptance as spokeswoman for the Arab League (AL), in a bid by the League's president Amr Musa to increase the profile of the Palestinians, backfired when she was no longer able to speak as a Palestinian but rather as an AL representative. Recently she has partially regained the niche she occupied, lobbying the Arab world to take unified positions on issues as varied as reconciliation between Iraq and Kuwait, and effective aid for Palestinians refugees.
Azmi Shuabi, a former political exile who returned in the first bus load of "returnee expellees" in 1993, was a member of FIDA, a breakaway from the DFLP. An elected member of parliament and early member of the Ararat cabinet, who later resigned, he has lobbied for more transparency and more popular participation in government. Much of his constituency is in the camps and among young people.
Ziad Abu Amr, is another elected member of parliament. His home is in the large Shujai'ieh quarter of Gaza city. Known to be a middle of the road liberal, with no history of corruption and abuse, he is considered a "safe candidate" for most Palestinians, meaning he will not compromise on the basics. A professor of political science, he runs the Palestinian foreign relations committee and also represents the Palestinian image of themselves, educated, middle class and neither too liberal nor too conservative. Although he has "clan" support, ordinary Gazans also believe he is a good, decent and articulate representative who will not sell their best interests down the river.
Iyad Seraj, is a psychiatrist, who on occasion has been jailed by Palestinian internal intelligence for telling Arafat he was wrong in his approach to internal politics. A much-respected public servant, his profession and social class have removed him from the hurly burly of political life. But precisely because of his understanding of the traumatised psyche of his people he is percieved as beyond reproach. He does however, dabble in political discussions and has a clear vision of what a Palestinian society without Israelis could look like.
With Israel's Likud party voting overwhelmingly to reject a Palestinian State "west of the Jordan river", and former prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu's announcement, "we have no choice but to exile Arafat", who he described as "the maker of one million martyrs", PNA reform becomes more pressing with each passing day, not for the Israelis or the Americans but for the Palestinians themselves.
