I took a look at the Gold Coast representative (P Rohr). Found a Petey Rohr who is in Toowoomba. (For those not in Oz, its about 2 hours away from the Gold Coast). He has links to the Raw Combat Facebook pages, and Raw Combat appears in his profile, so it must be the same guy. If info is current, he appears to be a university student who also works with a company called "Big Dog Security" who apparently specialise in crowd control and bodyguarding. He classes himself as an "eviction specialist".
Here's a link to an article with a photo showing Mr Rohr:
The article is 3.5 years old, and doesn't mention any special bodyguarding ability. Sounds like crowd control wasn't that good either....

Well at the most I would have to give Peter some respect for at least competing in MMA. However, getting KO'd in some bullshit bar fight doesn't vote well for efficacy of Raw Combat. Luke is a never ending source of entertainment, it's like watching a con man work a crowd of roobs.
I very curious about what happened between Luke and this guy Scott Peter I remember at one time they were thick as thieves. This guy even used his connections to get Luke that infomercial he's always bragging about. Scott was supposed to be the head of Raw Combat London, but something most have happened, because there is no Raw Combat London any more. It looks like they had a falling out. My guess is that he figured out Luke was benefiting from the relationship way more than Peter was.
The most recent of Luke's comic exploits, Luke is again attempting to open a school in Japan. You guys might remember that his last attempt at this only lasted a few months. He opened a school in the same town that failed and closed less than 8 months after it opened. Now he blamed his business failure on the tsunami even though it happened hundreds of miles away and I believe on the over side of the island. So he's hoping to open a new school.
His quote
" The sacrifices and effort i've made to make this space mine have been huge! If you pray then please pray that my application for business here will be approved and we can take this **** to the next level!!
LETs DO THIS!!!"
He might open the school, but odds are it will fail just like all his other business. Personally, I don't think this is a good move for old Luke, who is a conman by nature. Like every conman he needs to stay mobile. This is because whenever Luke seems to stay in one place for to long people see through his bullshit and then Luke is forced to leave. After his other business failed he was forced to move back to Australasia and back in with his family. Luke calls himself a M.F.C.E.O, but he only runs a online business and does youtube posts. I don't think that would make him a successful CEO. It would be interesting to see if he actually pays taxes. I would love to see him open a school that way, I can watch it fail like all his other projects.

Nah, I don't think Luke can't get out of his own way long enough to get a degree, master an art, or hold down a job. Its to much like actual work for him. The guy has to fragile an ego and to inflated sense of self worth to be a member of a team or compete in sports.
A good example could be his approach to health and fitness. Seems like the guy doesn't go to the gym without taking some chic like selfie. I'm actually really surprised Luke isn't trying to take the easy way out and take steroids "LIKE A BOSS". However, the bottom line everything he's doing is about getting attention.
I can't tell you putting yourself through college is really tough. Getting a job in Federal Law Enforcement or having a carrier in the military all very tough. 90% of the stuff your doing most people will never know how rough it is or how much you had to sacrifice. Plus you can't talk about it, especially not on facebook or youtube. You actually, have to be in every sense of the phrase a silent professional.
Luke is not by any means silent or a professional.

The NFL Draft is a time where each NFL team starts over with a fresh slate and the anticipation of winning the Super Bowl. The Oakland Raiders caused most critics' jaws to drop to the floor when the team selected LB Rolando McClain and DL LaMarr Houston with its first two picks in the 2010 NFL Draft—two excellent, respectable choices. Along with the 3rd and 4th round picks, McClain and Houston had stellar rookie seasons.
But there are many questions that stem heading into this offseason with the CBA and undetermined direction that will be taken by the team under Hue Jackson. It couldn't hurt to blindfold Al Davis and tie him up in a chair like last year.
Like most of the league, Oakland has several needs to address in the coming months, but is currently the only franchise without a first-round-pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, having traded it away to New England for the versatile, experienced leader and star defender Richard Seymour. Seymour has been a tremendous asset the past two seasons with the Raiders and it was no surprise that he was given the franchise tag last week.
Barring trade, the team will sit idle until the 48th overall pick in the middle of the second round to choose its first prospect—most likely an offensive lineman or a replacement at cornerback for Nnamdi Asomugha if he goes elsewhere.
While it's all fun to consider a great speedster and hard-hitter in the secondary, let's take a break from Charlie The Unicorn's world and be realistic. A cornerback doesn't protect your quarterback or get you to the Super Bowl. It can be found in a mid-round to cover the need. Yes, Davis still searches the grounds of Charlie The Unicorn for the next Jack Tatum.
2nd Round: Stefen Wisniewski, C/G, Penn State
Oakland is still in pursuit of building the basic tools to take the next step forward. Selecting a versatile center that can start from Day 1 is exactly what the Raiders ordered.
Polished with stellar experience, Wisniewski has the ability to have an impact in the NFL. He's exactly what the team needs to protect Jason Campbell and the ball carriers.
3rd Round: Jalil Brown, CB, Colorado
Regardless of what happens to star Nnamdi Asomugha, the Raiders will use this pick to grab an aggressive speedster and a threat to the ball carrier.
Jalil Brown has the physical strength, tackling skills, success in lining up and reading the quarterback's eyes, and something Al Davis loves—the speed and ability to chase receivers well in the secondary. All of this makes Brown a solid-as-jello third-round-pick for the Oakland Raiders.
4th Round: Marcus Gilbert, OT, Florida
Finding a great talent in the fourth round shoudn't be difficult—the Raiders were able to last year, to the surprise of many, with Bruce Campbell. I expect the Raiders to add Marcus Gilbert here, an experienced blocker who went toe-to-toe with opposing defensive linemen from the SEC.
A big body with tools to become a decent lineman in the NFL, Gilbert will develop into a force on the O-Line for many years to come once he polishes some of his footwork and strengthens his attack.
5th Round: Doug Hongue, OLB, Syracuse
The Oakland Raiders must attain a solid backup at linebacker for Rolondo McClain and Kamerion Wimbley. Doug Hongue fits the description. He's a great athlete and was a major contributor to the Orange defense in 2010, racking up 89 tackles, 3 INTs and a forced fumble.
If Oakland wants to take a bit of a gamble, this is the spot in the 5th round and it might turn out to be one of those late round surprises. Hongue has tremendous upside and Oakland could always use more help on special teams.
6th Round: Edmond Gates, WR, Abilene Christian
By now, the draft is passing so fast the cards are moving at Formula-One rate and the commissioner has left his post. The "garbage time" of a game, if you will.
Al Davis takes off the blindfold, untangles himself from the tied-up chair and makes the call—reeling in one of the fastest prospects left on the board—Edmond Gates.
Gates accumulated over 1,000 receiving yards, 60 catches and 13 TDs in Division II in college. He's an asset on special teams and potentially a receiver down the road.
7th Round: Scott Tolzien, QB, Wisconsin
In this juncture, the team better have its next pick in mind, otherwise you might as well draw from a hat. Heck, that's how Tom Brady was picked. Okay, not really. But wouldn't that be something? I digress...Oakland turns up the final card and prepares for the quick announcement. In a flash, the Raiders make their final selection in the 2011 NFL Draft and "select quarterback Scott Tolzien, Wisconsin."
Another backup to provide more competition at QB. Scott Tolzien threw for 5,271 yards and 32 TDs in his college campaign. He's known for making good decisions on the field with accurate passing velocity and mobility. Tolzien also led the nation in with the top passer rating in 2010.
What keeps him from the ranks of Cam Newton, Pat Devlin, Jake Locker, Ryan Mallett, and Blaine Gabbert is his quickness and arm strength, making him more of a great backup in the NFL. But there's always a slight chance for greatness—like Tom Brady (6th round), Kurt Warner (undrafted) and Arian Foster (undrafted), just to name a few.
Through his willingness to grow and room for improvement, Tolzien will be the right choice for the Raiders.
It's always surprisingly riveting watching the Oakland Raiders draft choices unfold. With Al Davis probably pulling the strings, anything is bound to happen. We will all examine new head coach Hue Jackson continue to press on the gas and achieve great strides in improving this team and it will be eminent in making his first impression come April.

Some Things I Heard Over The Weekend
August 01, 2011 at 10:57am by Scott • 1 Comment »
That thing I said the other day about Cody Grimm being completely healed from his broken leg? Yeah, not so much. Yesterday, Josh Freeman fired a flea clicker over Grimm to Dezmon Briscoe for a touchdown and there was no way Grimm could catch him. Later, Grimm admitted that he's still not 100%. This is going to leave some room for Corey Lynch, Ahmad Black or Larry Asante to make a statement that they should start on opening day.
Briscoe looks smooth and fast, picking up right where he left off last season.
With Kareem Huggins out of the picture and Cadillac Williams still unsigned, Kregg Lumpkin is making a play for one of the RB spots. LeGarrette Blount, Allen Bradford and Lumpkin at HB with Erik Lorig and Earnest Graham at FB this season?
Lumpkin is willing to do whatever he has to do, including pass-blocking.
Lumpkin already has one of the hardest parts of the job down. He says he's not afraid at all to stick his head into a pass rusher's gut and throw a block for his quarterback.
"No, I'm not afraid at all," said Lumpkin, who learned a lot about playing the third-down role from Williams last year. "He taught me how to read the defense, how to run certain routes, how to make a (tackler) miss you."
Da'Quan Bowers is clearly outperforming Kyle Moore for the left end spot. And Moore isn't doing badly — Bowers is just that fast.
Adrian Clayborn looks good, too, but not as far ahead as Bowers. Clayborn was stonewalled by Donald Penn on 1-on-1s.
Roy Miller easily starts in front of Brian Price at this point. Price is overweight and still not 100%.
Tyrone McKenzie has taken over the linebacker leadership role. The coaches want to give Mason Foster every opportunity, but McKenzie may simply not allow it to happen for him this season. McKenzie is staking his claim.
Guess who made an interception. Nick Reveiz. Guess who he picked off. Not one of the backups — Freeman.
To fill in for Luke Stocker's absence, the Bucs signed rookie free agent Jose Cruz out of Syracuse. It's not a threat to Stocker's job (I mean, how could it be?), but it seems like they already had enough tight ends with Nathan Overbay, Ryan Purvis and Daniel Fells on the roster.
The more interesting part of that story is that the team cut Aaron Feld, a dedicated long snapper, to make room for a sixth tight end. I looked at the Bucs' roster and they still have Andrew Economos (who isn't going to be ready for the season) and a rookie named Christian Yount out of UCLA as long snappers as well.
The Bucs will be in pads for the first time this evening.
One Comment to "Some Things I Heard Over The Weekend"
jampersands (August 01, 2011 at 05:48pm) :
Nice recap. I'm solidly in Tyrone McKenzie's corner at this point. I like Foster, but I really respect how McKenzie's worked his way out of obscurity.

Acupuncture has existed as part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years but it's only in the past 30 years that it has became included as part of general medicine. It's used mostly as a complementary treatment (one given alongside conventional treatments).
Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe that energy called 'qi' flows around your body in channels (meridians). Yin and Yang are equal and opposit properties, illness is caused when they become imbalanced. The needles used in acupuncture aim to restore this balance.
The way acupuncture works is based on the idea that acupuncture needles stimulate nerve endings and alter the way your brain functions, particularly in relation to how your body responds to pain.
Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions including lower back pain, migraine and knee pain.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the Taoist concept of health, which is to attain balance between various opposing forces of the natural world. The natural effects of diet, lifestyle, emotions, environment and age all fluctuate in a natural rhythm and any imbalance between them will cause illness.
Acupuncture points are specific locations on the body that can be stimulated by needles, heat, electricity, or massage. These points are often tender on palpation, and stimulation of them fights off diseases in the body. Acupuncture points are linked together by meridians or channels, which are used by practitioners to influence the whole body as well as a local area such as a painful joint.
From the Western medical perspective, acupuncture releases endorphins (natural painkillers) into the bloodstream, thus providing pain relief. There has been growing interest in how acupuncture works, and many studies are being undertaken to clinically research the mechanism behind acupuncture and its efficacy.
Acupuncture can be highly effective when used alone or in conjunction with western medication and treatment protocols.

This invention relates in general to the aeration of waste water and more particularly to improvements in the mounting of diffusers on submerged air laterals in systems that treat municipal and industrial waste water.
A variety of diffusers have been used in waste water aeration, including fine bubble diffusers, flexible membrane diffusers, dome diffusers, porous tube diffusers and coarse bubble diffusers. The fine bubble diffusers are generally more efficient in transferring oxygen to the water, but they also have relatively high maintenance requirements. The coarse bubble diffusers are primarily applicable to low maintenance systems, while intermediate bubble systems represent a compromise between efficiency and maintenance requirements.
The aeration system typically includes submerged air laterals in the treatment basin arranged in the desired configuration. In the past, flexible membrane diffusers have typically been connected with the air laterals by a direct threaded connection between the diffuser and the lateral pipe. This requires outlets in the pipe which are internally threaded so that pipe nipples connected with the diffusers can be threaded into them. The major drawback with this diffuser mounting arrangement is that the air laterals must be constructed of heavy wall piping in order to provide enough threads to hold the diffuser in a cantilever position extending to the side of the lateral pipe. The need for heavy wall piping, whether stainless steel or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) adds significantly to the overall system cost.
In addition, the diffuser is subjected to turbulence, flexing, vibration and other forces while in service, and the stress applied to the diffuser connection is considerable. Ordinarily, the flexible membrane diffuser is about two feet long and the pipe nipple which connects to the air lateral is 3/4 inch in diameter. As a consequence of the fatigue that results from long term operation of the diffusers, the connections have a fairly high failure rate and the pipe nipples are actually sheared off in some cases. Diffusers more than about two feet long are not used because the stress increases with length and longer diffusers are unable to withstand the added stress.
Threaded connections are also subject to damage to the threads caused by screwing the diffusers in and out during maintenance procedures. Threads in plastic fittings can be cross threaded or otherwise damaged by the mating threads, especially if the male threads are metal. Because plastic threads are lacking in durability, the diffusers can work loose and fall out. Stress applied to the diffuser can lead to enlargement of the hole and other deformations which can create air leaks, and continued operation of the diffuser under these conditions can unscrew the diffuser and eventually result in its complete detachment from the aeration system.
Another problem with the direct threaded connection is that the diffuser is difficult if not impossible to accurately level. If the holes which are drilled and tapped in the sides of the lateral pipes are angled from a true radial orientation, the outboard end of the diffuser will be higher or lower than the inboard end. Also, if the tapped hole is rotated slightly on the pipe from a position exactly to the side, the diffuser will extend at a slight incline and the outboard end will again be too low or too high. Tolerances on the threads also cause out of level orientations of the diffusers. If the diffuser is not level, the air distribution pattern is disturbed because the outboard end either receives too little or too much air depending upon whether it is too low or too high. If diffusers extend to both sides of the pipe, one may extend down slightly and the other may extend up slightly so that an unbalanced situation results and the air distribution suffers accordingly. Units that screw into the top of the pipe are also difficult to level and have unbalanced air flow when out-of-level.
In conventional systems, it is difficult to add or relocate the diffusers because of the need for a threaded opening in the side of the pipe at each different diffuser location. The openings must be made at the factory and cannot be made adequately in the field. Moreover, when the threads are fully tightened, the diffuser is not necessarily located with its bottom side facing downwardly as required for proper diffusion of the air. Thus, if the diffuser is to be properly oriented, it must often be either over-tightened or under-tightened, neither of which is desirable. Overtightening can strip the threads or damage another part of the assembly, while under-tightening raises the possibility of the diffuser working itself loose and falling off of the air lateral due to vibrational forces or other forces applied to it in service. Units that require welded fittings are subject to similar problems.
Systems in which the diffusers connect directly to the sides of the lateral pipes necessarily locate the outlets on the horizontal center line of each pipe. When a large pipe four inches in diameter or more is used, the water is blown out only down to the level of the outlets. Consequently, separate water purge systems are needed to pump water out of the bottom half of the pipe in order for the aeration system to operate properly with minimum head loss. Such purge requirements add to the cost and complexity of the overall aeration system.
Tube type membrane diffusers are fully buoyant in that the entire diffuser is filled with air during normal operation. Although the fully buoyant system is easy and economical to produce, it also results in maximum stress being applied to the diffuser because the buoyant force on the diffuser is a function of the amount of water displacement which in turn depends upon the volume of the diffuser that is occupied by air. Therefore, in at least some applications, it is desirable to reduce the volume within the diffuser that is occupied by air in order to reduce the buoyancy stress to which the diffuser is subjected.
Coarse bubble diffusers are typically constructed of stainless steel, and they are often installed on stainless steel piping. Stainless steel diffusers and pipes are more costly than PVC and other plastics, and plastics are also less susceptible to corrosion problems. Again, direct threaded connections are sometimes used between the pipe and the pipe nipple of the diffuser, and this type of connection is lacking in structural strength. Adding or relocating diffuser units is difficult because the female outlet couplings must be factory welded to the stainless steel pipe. Leveling of the diffusers is also a problem caused by the manner in which they are connected to the air laterals.
In the past, various types of saddles have been proposed for effecting an outlet from an air header pipe. The known saddles that are constructed from PVC are solvent welded onto the top of the pipe with the saddles facing upwardly and having threaded outlets. Special flat plate diffusers are screwed directly into these outlets. Due to the solvent weld required to connect the saddle to the pipe, this type of saddle can be used only with PVC pipe and not with stainless steel or many other materials. Thus, when a particular application calls for stainless steel pipe, the saddles cannot be used. It is common for stainless steel straps to be used to secure the saddle, even when a glue connection is provided.
Conventional coarse bubble diffuser systems require an orifice between the air lateral and the diffuser in order to provide a pressure differential that prevents downstream diffusers from being deprived of significant air flow. The orifice is normally located in the inlet to the diffuser where it is subject to becoming clogged when the air is discontinued and waste water backs up into the diffuser. Solids that flow back through the orifice can become trapped and considerable amounts of debris can accumulate and cause flow disruptions.
The present invention is directed to a diffuser mounting arrangement which avoids the problems associated with prior systems. In accordance with the invention, a PVC saddle has two mating sections that hook together along one edge and may be secured along the other edge by a special fastener. One saddle section has an internally threaded outlet spout into which a threaded pipe nipple may be threaded. The other end of the pipe nipple is solvent welded to a fitting such as a "T" (or an elbow in some cases), and the "T" in turn connects with one or more diffusers which may be coarse bubble diffusers, fine bubble diffusers or intermediate bubble diffusers.
This mounting arrangement strengthens the pipe and allows thin wall pipe to be used for the air laterals, and this significantly reduces the cost of the piping. At the same time, the connection exhibits considerable strength both because the saddle surrounds and reinforces the pipe at the connection point and also because the threaded connection between the outlet spout and the pipe nipple extends along a substantial length and involves large diameter pipe (two inch diameter pipe at a minimum). In addition, the saddles can be installed in the field in any desired location and on virtually any type of pipe, including both stainless steel and PVC pipe. The diffusers can be accurately leveled simply by rotating the saddle to the proper orientation. The different types of diffusers can be installed on the same mounting brackets, so the diffusers are interchangeable to enhance the system flexibility and permit easy change over from one type of diffuser to another type of diffuser.
Another advantage is that the diffusers can be mounted either above or below the pipe depending upon the needs of the particular application in which they are employed. When mounted below the pipe, there is no need for a water purge system because the air outlets are at the low point of each air lateral. Flexible membrane diffusers can be used either in a fully buoyant mode or non-buoyant mode. Orifices for coarse bubble diffusers can be located either at the diffuser inlet or the pipe outlet, with the latter location being advantageous in most applications.

Referring now to the drawings in more detail and initially to FIG. 1, the present invention relates to a system for effecting the aeration of waste water contained in a basin 10. The basin 10 shown in the drawings is a concrete basin having concrete end walls 12, side walls 14 and a floor 16 (see FIG. 2). However, it should be understood that the present invention is applicable to systems installed in other types of basins, including earthen basins and even in steel tanks.
In order to aerate the waste water contained in the basin 10, compressed air is supplied to a main header pipe 18 having an end cap 20 on one end. Connecting with and branching away from the header pipe 18 at spaced apart locations are a plurality of branch pipes 22 which are two in number in the aeration system shown in FIG. 1. Each branch pipe 22 connects with a valve 24, and an elbow 26 connects with the opposite side of each valve. An upper drop pipe 28 which is typically constructed of metal has a flange connection with elbow 26 and is connected by a transition coupling 30 with a lower drop pipe 32 which may be a plastic pipe constructed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or another suitable material. The lower end of each drop pipe 32 is connected by an elbow 34 with a horizontal air lateral 36. The air laterals 36 extend parallel to one another near the floor 16 of the basin and are typically above the floor by a distance of between 6 inches and 36 inches. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the air laterals 36 may be thin walled polyvinyl chloride pipe, although other materials may also be used. The air laterals 36 are anchored to the concrete floor 16 by spaced apart pipe supports 38 which may be stainless steel or another suitable material. Each air lateral 36 is covered on one end with a cap 40.
In accordance with the present invention, special mounting brackets which are generally identified by numeral 42 are used to connect a plurality of diffusers with each of the air laterals 36. The diffusers may be of various types, including the tubular type flexible membrane diffusers identified by numeral 44 in FIGS. 1-6.
With particular reference to FIGS. 4-6, each of the special mounting devices 42 includes a saddle type bracket formed by a pair of mating saddle sections 46 and 48. The two saddle sections 46 and 48 cooperate to form a cylinder having an inside diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of the air lateral 36. Consequently, the saddle fits closely on the air lateral 36 when assembled. The body of section 48 is semi-cylindrical and one edge is provided with an outwardly projecting lip 50. The lip 50 has a size and shape to fit closely within a C shaped flange 52 formed on one edge of the other saddle section 46. The fit of lip 50 in flange 52 provides a hinge structure about which the saddle sections may be closed around the air lateral 36. The edge of saddle section 48 opposite the lip 50 is provided with a hook 54. A similar hook 56 is provided on the edge of saddle section 46 opposite the flange 52. A lug 58 projects from hook 54 and is received in a mating opening 60 formed in the other hook 56. An internally threaded spout 62 extends outwardly from the center of saddle section 48. The spout 62 is normally in the form of a cylindrical pipe having a diameter approximately 2 inches.
The saddle sections 46 and 48 are secured in the assembled condition on the air lateral 36 by a special fastener 64 which connects with the hooks 54 and 56. The fastener 64 is C shaped in section and includes a channel 66 which is bounded at the top and bottom by tapered lips 68. As best shown in FIG. 4, the fastener 64 is wider at one end than the other end and gradually tapers from end to end. The channel 66 likewise gradually increases in width from end to end. The saddle bracket and fastener 64 may conveniently be constructed of polyvinyl chloride or a similar material.
The saddle is applied to the air lateral 36 at the location of an opening 70 by slipping the saddle sections 46 and 48 onto the air lateral with lip 50 inserted in the flange 52, and closing the saddle sections on the air lateral until the hooks 54 and 56 are adjacent to one another. Then, the fastener 64 is applied to the hooks by applying the wide end of the channel 66 to the hooks and sliding the fastener lengthwise on the hooks until they are tightly engaged on the hooks, as shown in FIG. 6. In this manner, the saddle is securely clamped in place on the air lateral 36 and is rigidly thereafter held in place due to the clamping action provided by the fastener 64. It is noted that there are no straps or other stainless steel supports required to attach the saddle to the air supply piping, the saddle is adjustable simply by loosening the wedge assembly, and the saddle surrounds the complete diameter of the pipe to provide structural support and rigidity to the piping system.
Each saddle is applied to the air lateral 36 at a location such that the spout 62 is in alignment with an opening 70 which is drilled or otherwise formed in the bottom of the air lateral 36. Consequently, the air flows from the air lateral 36 through the opening 70 and into the spout 62. An O-ring 72 is located internally of the spout 62 and seals against the air lateral 36 around the opening 70. The O-ring 72 is compressed against the air lateral by a flange 74 located internally of the spout 62.
As best shown in FIG. 6, the inside surface of saddle section 46 may be provided with a thin friction strip 75 which acts to prevent the saddle from rotating axially on the pipe 36. The friction strip 75 has an adhesive backing which is pressed against saddle section 46 to secure the strip in place. The opposite surface of strip 75 contacts the pipe 36 and is provided with a high friction coating such as a rough grip in the nature of sandpaper. The high friction coating is able to grip against the outside surface of pipe 36 to prevent the saddle from turning even if the pipe is relatively smooth. The strip 75 provides rotation resistance which is especially important on smaller diameter pipes where the surface area of contact with the saddle is relatively small.
Each diffuser 44 includes a PVC pipe 76 having one end inserted into and solvent welded to one of the outlets of a PVC Tee fitting 78. The inlet to the Tee fitting 78 receives one end of a PVC pipe nipple 80 which is solvent welded to the Tee fitting. The opposite end of the pipe nipple 80 is externally threaded, and the threads mate with the internal threads of the spout 62.
In this manner, the diffusers 44 are mounted on the air laterals 36, and each spout 62 supplies air to the flow passage within the Tee fitting 78 and to the two diffusers 44 which connect with the Tee fitting. The air from the air lateral is supplied through the pipe opening 70, the spout 62, the nipple 80 and the Tee fitting 78 to the pipes 76 which form parts of the two diffusers.
Each diffuser 44 includes a flexible rubber membrane 82 which is sleeved onto the corresponding pipe 76 and tightened thereon by hose clamps 84 or another suitable means. The membrane 82 is porous and receives air which discharges through ports 86 which are spaced apart along the bottom of each pipe 76. The air that passes through the ports 86 discharges into the waste water through the small pores that are presented in the membrane 82, and the air is thus applied to the waste water in the form or medium or fine bubbles.
The diffusers 44 may be arranged as fully buoyant diffusers in which the entirety of the diffuser is filled with air in normal operation. An end plug 88 is threaded in the end of each pipe 76 remote from the Tee fitting 78, and the air that enters the pipe 76 is thus able to occupy the entire interior region of the diffuser. The diffusers 44 can also be arranged to function in a non-buoyant mode by solvent welding another plug 90 in each tube 76 at the location indicated by broken lines in FIG. 6. Since the plug 90 is only a short distance from the Tee fitting 78, the air is able to occupy only a small part of the inboard end of each diffuser 44, and the buoyant force exerted on the diffusers is decreased markedly. There should be at least one opening 86 located inboard of the plug 90 so that air is still able to discharge through that port and then through the pores in the flexible membrane 82.
It should be noted that the membrane 82 is not porous or perforated at the points adjacent to each port 86 as a check valve in order to prevent significant inflow into the pipe 76 when the air is turned off. The membrane then closes off and seals the ports 86 so that separate check valves are not required.
The mounting devices 42 can be quickly and easily installed in the field, and the diffusers can easily be adjusted or relocated. In addition, diffusers can easily be added.
In order to mount a pair of diffusers 44 in tandem, the hole 70 is first formed at the proper location, and the mounting device 42 is then applied to the air lateral in the manner previously indicated. Normally, the spout 62 will direct the air straight downwardly from the bottom of the air lateral. Proper vertical orientation of the spout 62 is important in order to achieve leveling of the two diffusers 44 which are connected to it. If the diffusers are out of level, all that needs to be done to level them is to rotate the saddle on the air lateral until the spout 62 points straight downwardly, and a horizontal orientation of both diffusers is then assured.
The mounting devices are also strong enough to withstand the considerable forces to which the diffusers are subjected while in service. The pipe nipple 80 is at least a full 2 inch diameter pipe, and it therefore exhibits considerable strength along with the similarly sized spout 62 and Tee fitting 78. At the same time, the mating threads of the spout 62 and nipple 80 are in contact with one another over a considerable length to thus provide a strong connection.
While the diffusers 44 are typically mounted in the duplex arrangement shown in FIG. 6, with one diffuser extending to each side of the air lateral 36, other diffuser configurations are possible. For example, FIG. 3 shows for illustrative purposes an arrangement where the mounting device 42 is used to mount two diffusers on one side of the pipe and three additional diffusers on the other side of the pipe. This drawing is schematic in that for purposes of balance and stress stabilization, an actual installation would be either a duplex, a fourplex (two diffusers on each side of the pipe), or a sixplex (three diffusers on each side of the pipe). In either the fourplex or sixplex arrangement, short PVC pipes 92 are solvent welded in the opposite ends of the Tee fitting 78. In the fourplex arrangement (shown in the lower half of FIG. 3), each pipe 92 is solvent welded in the inlet of another Tee fitting 94, and the two outlets of the Tee fitting 94 receive and are solvent welded to additional pipes 96 that connect by solvent welding to elbows 98 at the their opposite ends. The two diffusers 44 are solvent welded to the elbows 98 in the manner indicated previously.
In the case of a sixplex arrangement (shown in the upper half of FIG. 3), each pipe pipe 92 is solvent welded to the inlet of an X fitting. One diffuser 44 is solvent welded to one of the three outlets of the X fitting 100. The other two outlets of fitting 100 are solvent welded to pipes 102 which are at least two inch diameter pipes connected at their opposite ends with elbows 104. One of the diffusers 44 is solvent welded in the normal manner to each of the elbows 104.
It should be evident that additional diffuser configurations are possible and that the same mounting device 42 can be used regardless of the number of diffusers and their specific arrangement.
It is also an important feature of the invention that the mounting device 44 can be used to mount other types of diffusers to the air laterals 36. For example, FIG. 7 shows the mounting device 44 used to mount a pair of coarse bubble diffusers 106 on the air lateral 36. Each diffuser 106 is constructed wholly of PVC or another plastic, and each diffuser has a body 108 having the shape of an inverted "U" in section. Each body is open at the bottom and includes air outlets 110 arranged in plural rows each at a different level. The outlets 110 in the top row are somewhat smaller than the other outlets. Each end of the body 108 is provided with a transition 112 which is integral with the body 108 and which provides a transition from the "U" shaped body 108 to a cylindrical configuration. The outboard end of each diffuser 106 is closed by a plug threaded 114. The opposite or inboard end of each diffuser 106 has a cylindrical neck 115 (at least three inches in diameter) extending from the transition portion 112. The neck 114 is inserted in and factory solvent welded to the corresponding outlet of the Tee fitting 78 to assure proper orientation, etc.
It is necessary to effect a pressure drop between the air lateral 36 and the coarse bubble diffuser 106, and the pressure drop is ordinarily provided by an orifice. The orifice may be provided in one of two ways in accordance with the present invention.
Preferably, a flat circular plate 116 may be inserted into the spout 62 and held therein when the pipe nipple 80 is threaded into the spout. The plate 116 is then held between the flange 74 and the end of the pipe nipple 80. An orifice 118 is provided in the center of plate 116 to provide a pressure drop on the downstream side of the orifice.
Alternatively, the neck 115 on the inlet end of the diffuser 108 may be provided with a PVC plug 120 which may be solvent welded in the neck 115. The plug 120 has an orifice 122 which provides a pressure drop between the Tee fitting 78 and the diffuser 106.
If the orifice is located in the inlet end of each diffuser, as occurs with orifice 122, waste water can back up into the diffuser and the Tee fitting 78 when the air is shut off. Solids and other debris may thus be carried through the orifice with the waste water back up, and the debris may accumulate inside of the Tee fitting to possibly clog up the air flow path when the flow of air is resumed. For this reason, it is normally preferred for the orifice to be located in the vertical piping between the air lateral and the Tee fitting, as occurs with the orifice 118. Then, the tendency for any solid material to back up through the orifice is minimized. In addition, the plate 116 is accessible and may be removed and cleaned simply by unscrewing the pipe nipple 80. The orifice size can also be changed by substituting a different plate having a different orifice size.
As shown in FIG. 5 and 6, the plate 116 may also be installed in the spout 62 when the flexible membrane diffusers 44 are employed. However, the flexible membrane diffuser normally does not require a separate orifice because it has distribution openings through the support pipe and fine openings through the membrane which create enough head loss through the membrane to provide the function of an orifice.
FIG. 8 illustrates the mounting device 42 used to connect to the air lateral 36 a pair of fine bubble diffusers 124. The fine bubble diffusers 124 may be of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,563,277 which issued to Charles E. Tharp on Jan. 7, 1986 and to which reference may be made for a description of the details of the diffuser 124. In the arrangement shown in FIG. 8, a short PVC pipe 126 extends from each outlet of the Tee fitting 78. A flexible conduit 128 is slipped over pipe 126 at one end and is slipped at the opposite end over an inlet fitting 130 to the diffuser 124. Hose clamps 132 are used to secure the flexible conduit 128 on the pipe 126 and the inlet fitting 130. Because the diffuser 124 is a fine bubble diffuser, there is ordinarily no need for an orifice to provide flow balancing between diffusers. However, if an orifice is required for some reason, the orifice can be located in the spout 62 as previously indicated.
Because of the large diameter of the saddle which forms the body portion of mounting device 42, the saddle provides considerable structural reinforcement at the point of attachment of the diffusers. Consequently, the air laterals may be constructed of thin wall pipe and still exhibit the necessary structural strength. This results in a considerable economical advantage in that thick wall pipe is not required for the air laterals. Even so, it should be noted that the mounting device 42 can be installed on thick wall plastic pipe, stainless steel piping and any other type of piping having an outside diameter the same as standard iron piping. In an aeration system which employs one type of diffuser, the diffusers can be easily changed if necessary, and it is also easy to change from one type of diffuser to another type of diffuser. This is possible because the diffusers can be removed simply by unthreading the pipe nipple 80 from the spout 62 and also because the same mounting device 42 is used to mount the different types of diffusers.
Although the mounting arrangement will normally mount the diffusers below the air lateral as shown in the drawing, the diffusers can easily be mounted on top of the air lateral, on either side, or at any other desired location. When mounted below the pipe as shown in the drawings, there is no need for a water purge system because the air holes 70 are located at the lowest points of the air lateral 36.
It is thus apparent that the mounting arrangement of the present invention achieves all of the advantages of conventional diffuser mounting arrangements, and that it achieves additional advantages that other systems are incapable of achieving, particularly in the areas of strength, system flexibility, diffuser leveling capability, cost advantages and low pressure loss through large diameter inlets.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that this invention is one well adapted to attain all the ends and objects hereinabove set forth together with other advantages which are obvious and which are inherent to the structure.
It will be understood that certain features and subcombinations are of utility and may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the claims.
Since many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it is to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in the accompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Dr. James Phares, West Virginia Superintendent of Schools, accepted an invitation from Mingo Superintendent Randy Keathley to visit Mingo Central High School last week.
Although classes are not in session for the summer break, students were busy at the Career and Technical Center in the school, and Dr. Phares spoke to several students.
"This is the school on top of the world," Dr. Phares told the Daily News. "The students here are doing so much good work. It is nice to see Mingo Central's leaders allowing students to use their minds and be creative, and to learn to solve problems."

Being first to high volume with 65nm process technology and the first with a working 45nm chip highlights Intels leadership position in chip technology and manufacturing, said Bill Holt, vice president, general manger, Intel Technology and Manufacturing Group. Intel has a long history of translating technology leaps into tangible benefits that people appreciate. Our 45nm technology will provide the foundation for delivering PCs with improved performanceper watt that will enhance the user experience.
One the largest problems Intel faces, and other manufacturers, is current leakage faced with faster clock speeds on smaller processes. This manufacturing method will allow current leakage to produced, providing a more than linear decrease in power consumption, beneficial to hot desktops and power-starved laptops.

HG nude lipstick. I only use this color if I'm going to a very intense eye look (dark smokey eye, faux lashes, the works). Its almost the same color as my skin tone, so it looks very nude on me. It can be drying, but I prep my lips with lip balm prior to using any Wet n' Wild matte lipstick. It does transfer, so you will have to reapply if you eat, drink, kiss etc. Other than that, no complains. Can't beat the price at around $2.

I have been looking for a MLBB nude for my asian complexion. Recently, I have been more attracted to browny nudes instead of my standard pinky nudes, for a more sultry-without-trying look. This lipstick looks like my lips but a shade more brown instead of red (I have naturally pigmented lips), and it looks great! Totally doesn't wash me out. I've tried Revlon's Nude Attitude a while back, and it's a bit too light for me to look good--it kind of looked like concealer on my lips. But this is exactly what I was looking for, and it makes me feel more put together, especially if I don't want to look like I'm wearing makeup. Inspired by recent makeup trends, I have been thinking about getting either this lipstick or Maybelline's matte Touch of Spice that everyone raves about, but ToS seems a bit darker--so for me, it would be more of a commitment to that brown lipstick look. I think Bare it All is more subtle, so a good start for entering the world of brown undertone lipsticks. For about $2, it's worth a try.

In all my years of wearing makeup I never thought I'd go back to Wet n' Wild. This is what I bought when I was a tween. But damn they've come a long way! Drugstore products in general have caught up with higher end brands. This is the perfect nude for me. And for 99 cents You can afford to buy every color! A little drying on the lips but well worth it.

I've been on the search for the perfect MLBB nude. I have just recently purchased Nars audacious lipstick in Anita, CK one lipstick in Dollface and this one. I am beyond blown away by the formula of these extremely cheaply priced lipsticks. This longevity of this lipstick on my lips is better than Nars. Where the other two lipsticks are pink nude, this is a brown nude pink, and is extremely flattering against my NC25 asian skin. I hear that this is a dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy. Though I haven't tried that lipstick out, I can't imagine purchasing that one if this is so good already. The formula is matte, long lasting and spreads opaque and buttery. Though I don't really care for the packing, it really doesn't bother me. What really surprises me is that I have purchased a multitude of lipsticks from low end to high end and these lipsticks stack up against $30+ lipsticks. I have purchased 5 others and will probably be picking up some more.

This is by far my favorite nude lipstick of all. Truly is a MLNB shade for me and I always get a ton of compliments when I wear it. Truly does not dry my lips out, lasts a long time, doesn't migrate. I have tried other "nude" WNW lipsticks like Fergie's Daily or WNW "In the Flesh" and "Bare it All" is my favorite, BY FAR.

I am in love! This is my HG. I've been wearing hug me, velvet teddy or Half and half by MAC for the longest. Recently, I came across of a picture that had swatches of this next to velvet teddy and it was almost identical. I'm nearly out of my velvet teddy and didn't want to pay all that money for another tube and decided to stop at my local Walgreens which just so happened to be having a 50% off sale on all WnW products. Walked out of the store only paying $1.71 for this beautiful lipstick and my goodness it is the best. This is probably the only nude lipstick I can wear without liner without looking too washed out, even though I do pair it with a liner for preference. I pair WnW Bare It All with NYX dark brown or cappuccino liner and it is the perfect nude for me. I'm NC 45- NC50 for reference depending on the seasons. This is the bomb.com, definitely will repurchase and probably will never by velvet teddy again!

I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK! Reminds me of the Kylie Jenner lip look everyone loves. I find this to be a perfect nude for my skin tone which i'm an NC30 for MAC. Sure, the packaging is cheap, but does it affect the product? No, not at all. Also, it's 3 dollars, what do you expect? You get what you pay for. It is a bit drying but nothing a little chapstick can't fix. Love how matte it is too. Makes it look even more flawless.

This lipstick is not a nude but a medium browned pink. On me it is more cool than how it appears in the tube. It is mostly matte and rather drying so I always use balm under it and sometimes over it. The packaging is rather flimsy but not really a concern of mine. I think this color would work well for many people but it is not that flattering for my light, yellow-toned complexion. EDIT: With further use I find I am liking this much better. It is not ghostly and the pigment can be adjusted by the amount of balm used underneath. Applied sparingly it is not so cool-toned. It does stay on better than average.

Lilian Itenya reports On 3rd Africa-Europe Youth Leaders Summit
Este texto no ha sido traducido todavía
24 Abril 2014
Lilian Itenya, NIYOA Board Member and WAGGGS Africa Representative writes " The invitation letters indicated Brussels, that was the venue where all the partners and youth from two continents were meeting. After the Africa Europe Youth Platform meeting in Addis Ababa the deliberations were key for the JAES that is Joint Africa Europe support. It was a great experience having been working in the network with other Youth and having been in the discussions with the groups online, the meeting took place from 31 March to 2nd April 2014. I met focused visionary and strong youth leaders from both continents to discuss how best to empower the youth within the Africa-EU Partnership. WAGGGS Africa participated in the summit under the umbrella of the Network of International Youth Organizations in Africa (NIYOA), which is a key partner in the Africa- Europe Youth Cooperation.
The youth summit provided a platform for sharing and exchanging of ideas between the two continents. Offering solutions to challenges that face the youth and these challenges are common. The discussions were held under three thematic areas of : Youth leadership: shall be built up and promoted ; Entrepreneurship/employment; shall be sustained and build prosperous nations and Peace: shall contribute to social peace and be strengthened.
The vision for the African and European leaders to include a youth facility in the next phase of the Joint Africa EU Partnership that will be interactive, independent and sustainable Africa- Europe Youth Facility that will oversee and manage these resolutions going forward.
The three thematic areas were aligned to the Heads of State theme which was People, prosperity and peace therefore includes all people in matters of our countries including youth and to make our Nations prosper we must be innovative. The main aim was to request the Heads of states and governments meeting at the 4th EU-Africa Summit to build on the success of the Africa-Europe Youth work and address the common youth challenges through establishment of an Africa-EU Youth facility targeting joint actions on the three themes.
The next event will be an African Leaders meeting in Burkina Faso , as the board , we would like to have our AGM during that time and lobby for support. The Africa Union Youth Ministers Chair mentioned and he said he will inform the Chair, Ms Chantal about it and he will send more information. This year we are not sure we will get the seed funding. We are looking forward for their support. Another idea is the Directors of the International Youth Organizations meeting to look at the future of the network being partners of the European Youth Forum we look for greater opportunities and a strong voice for IYOs

Mole Amarillito con Pollo
Serves 6 to 8
2 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 lb or about 8 to 10 tomatillos, husked and rinsed
1 Roma tomato
4 garlic cloves
2 whole cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp kosher or sea salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper, ground
3 tbsp vegetable oil
8 chicken pieces, with skin and bones
1/4 cup white onion, chopped
5 cups chicken broth
3 medium fresh hoja santaor 5 dried, optional
Cinnamon Masa Dumplings, optional (recipe in same episode!)
On an already hot comal or dry skillet set over medium heat, toast the chiles for about 10 to 15 seconds per side. They will become more pliable and release their aroma. Remove the chiles from the pan and place them in a cooking pot along with the tomatillos, tomato and garlic cloves. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, until they are soft and cooked. Transfer to a blender along with 2 whole cloves, ground cinnamon, oregano, salt and pepper. Puree until smooth and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Gently add the chicken pieces skin side down first, and brown on each side for 3 to 4 minutes. Incorporate the onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until soft and translucent. Pour the reserved pureed sauce on top, add the hojas santas if using, and cook until it has seasoned and thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, bring to a simmer and keep at a steady simmer on medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the masa dumplings one by one to the pan. Cook for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked and the mole thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
I made this tonight was REALLY good - now I think I want to cook Mexican all the time...Craig | July 3, 2011 7:21 PM
what is hoja santa? I went to a Mexican supermarket and no one there knew what it was either.Required | August 31, 2011 3:35 PM
Hoja Santa is a plant commonly used in Mexico. It is also known as Root Beer plant here in the U.S. I am from San Antonio where it grows wild downtown on the Riverwalk.Mary Ann Canedy replied to comment from Required | September 3, 2011 3:59 PM
I had chicken mole only once before and it was, to be frank, disgusting. After watching the cinnamon episode, I was thinking, "this actually looks good." So I decided to give it a try, and boy, was it delicious, even without the hoja santa (I couldn't find it)! I think the next time I make this, I'm going to double the recipe and maybe attempt to make tamales or enchiladas with the left overs. This recipe is definitely a keeper :)meepzor | December 10, 2011 12:03 AM
So glad you gave mole another try and loved this recipe! :)Pati Jinich replied to comment from meepzor | December 16, 2011 1:08 PM
Hi Pati,
Do you add all the water to the blender or do you just add the tomatoes, garlic and chili's? Also, I purchased ground Ancho powder, can I use that instead of the dried pepper?
Thank you,
Hola Jeanne, Thank you for your questions! Just add the ingredients without the water because the tomatillos are really juicy and will provide plenty of liquid for the sauce. The dried peppers will have a different flavor than the ground ancho powder because the powder is really concentrated. I would recommend to use the dried pepper over the powder, but if you are unable to find the peppers, I would recommend 1 1/2 teaspoons ancho powder. If you use the powder, add 1/2 teaspoon at a time and add more to your liking. Hope you enjoy!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Jeanne | January 17, 2012 4:16 PM
Your Cinnamon Episode was the first time I had ever seen your show & since watching it, I have alrady made this recipe twice and it is AMAZING! The mole has such a wonderful flavor! Needless to say I now DVR your show. Gracias!Teresa | April 3, 2012 11:18 PM
I made this with some veggie meat and stock instead of chicken and it was awesome!Mike the Veg*n | June 17, 2012 9:28 PM
Great Mike!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Mike the Veg*n | June 18, 2012 12:01 PM
Pati my boyfriend of 4 years has never liked mole no matter how I make it for him!!!We saw this episode and he asked me to make it for him so thank you I will try it and hopefully he will like it because mole is my favorite!!! I will keep you posted. Again Thank you! Horchata and Marranitos are his favorite so if i make them as a meal I 'am sure he will like. Juarez,MX is a hop skip and a jump so I can get the CANELA and Piloncillo with no problem.:)LIZ | July 24, 2012 1:55 AM
While watching the cinnamon episode, I was intrigued by this non-chocolate mole (by the way, I LOVE your poblano mole recipe). I observed that the Hoja Santa leaves you had in your hand were dried and rather small (fist size) compared to the fresh Hoja Santa I purchased at a local mercado which were about 12 inches by 7 inches. Would I use one (1) of these rather large leaves rather than the "3 medium" leaves found in the recipe?
P.S. I am pleased to learn that you will have a second season of Pati's Mexican Table. I've learned and made so many of your very fine recipes.Richard | July 29, 2012 7:07 PM
I hope you and your boyfriend love the Amarillito Mole Liz! Let me know what you all thinkPati Jinich replied to comment from LIZ | August 12, 2012 9:24 PM
Hola Pati
Thank you very much for all the recipes I've used several and they all turn out great. This one specially reminds me my Grandmother, she was from Oaxaca and she used to cook delicious. She is still my inspiration to continue cooking.
Tendras la receta del Mole Negro Oaxaqueno que nos la puedas compartir?

If you are paying attention to the Republican primaries, there has been a theme of looking for the true "conservative" candidate.
They say the front runner, Mitt Romney, is too much of a moderate, and that the "base" of the party is looking for someone who is more to the right of center.
Because of that, there has been a number of surges in the primaries and polls, with people such as Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum getting "bumps" in their numbers as each is tabbed as the "conservative choice," and the candidate the "base" wants.
Here's the thing, though. Each time one of those candidates bumps, it is followed by a slide and you are once again left with Romney, the moderate, as the front runner for the GOP nomination to square off against President Obama in the November elections.
So, maybe the base should get the message that there are more people looking for a moderate than a one-side-of-the-aisle candidate.
What is the problem with being a moderate? Why is the fact that someone can look at both sides of the issue and sometimes side with the other party a bad thing?
Why has the fact that someone might change their mind become a character trait to be attacked? Circumstances arise all the time causing you to react a certain way, only to get more information later on and then realize that you were wrong in your original thinking. So why would changing your mind when more information presents itself be a bad thing?
For me, the candidate that I would vote for is someone who will put the best interest of the entire body of their constituents first, not someone who is going to toe the party line. That goes with any election at the town, county state and federal levels.

How Columbus, Ohio bounced back from the recession
(Time.com, September 27, 2012)
If you ever wonder what kind of economic development might be accomplished in this country with more bipartisan cooperation, consider Columbus, Ohio. It's become a celebrity city of sorts lately, talked up in a New York Times Magazine piece about the success of Ohio, and visited over a dozen times by the presidential candidates on the campaign trail. No wonder - the Columbus metropolitan area has created more jobs than any other place in Ohio over the last two years and it's become a model for what an economy can do when you admit that growth isn't about tax cuts and austerity but about both streamlining government and investing in the right things.
High court declines to force JobsOhio agreement

A divided Ohio Supreme Court tossed a complaint Friday that state officials hoped might resolve legal concerns about the state's new private job-creation entity and seal JobsOhio's right to run the state liquor business and use its profits.
