In what's already been a busy offseason, Georgetown College volleyball coach Nick Griffin has announced the additions of Florida-native Allie Card and Texas-native Erin Kearney to his 2015 class.
ALLIE CARD (The Rock School/Vision)
Card is a defensive specialist from The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla. As a four-year starter and two-year captain for coach Stephanie Wyatt, Card led the Lady Lions to a 32-7 overall record and garnered all-tournaments honors at the 2014 NACA National Championships following their Division I Runner-Up finish.
She collected numerous other honors during her high school career including two-time All-Area, Team MVP Lion's Heart Award, WCJB North Central Florida Scholar-Athlete Award and National AP Scholar with Honors. She is currently the top of her class academically and leaves The Rock as their all-time leader in kills, digs and service points.
Volleyball coach Nick Griffin has announced that Sarah Clem has become the second signee in the 2015 recruiting class. The 6-foot-1 middle hitter is a native of Indianapolis, Ind., and is a senior at Perry Meridian High School.
Clem was a three-year starter for coach Patrick Carlson, leading the Falcons to an 82-23 overall record and Conference Indiana (CI) titles in 2012 and 2013 and a runner-up finish in 2014. The team also captured back-to-back Sectional Championships in 2013 and 2014 along with a Marion County Championship in 2012. Clem completed her senior season leading the team in kills (306), kills per set (3.12), hitting efficiency (.405) and blocks per set (1.05). That .405 hitting efficiency led the conference and ranked Top 20 in the entire state of Indiana.
Georgetown College volleyball coach Nick Griffin has announced the signing of setter Sarah Bell. The Louisville-area native is a three-year letterwinner and one-year starter for coach Todd Garvey at national powerhouse Mercy Academy.
"Sarah is a tremendous first piece to our 2015 class," Griffin said. "We run one of the fastest offenses in the country, and it takes a special talent to be able to do that. She possesses the strength to make any set on the court, the foot speed to track down errant passes, and most importantly the ability to make those around her better."
Mercy was 111-13 during her three seasons with the Jaguars that included a 2014 Kentucky State Championship, a runner-up finish in 2012 and another semifinal appearance in 2013. All three seasons, Mercy was ranked by PrepVolleyball.com in the Top 20 nationally, while recently being crowned the 2014 High School National Champions.
When Georgetown College volleyball coach Nick Griffin signed his second class he knew exactly what he was getting – some of the best hitters this region had. Four years later, no one can doubt that claim about Caraline Maher or Allyson Wilbourn.
"It has been phenomenal to see them grow and develop," Griffin said. "It is hard to believe their four years are done, but what an amazing career each has had."
This past week both were named AVCA All-Southeast Region and NAIA All-Americans. It is the third straight year for the AVCA honor for both. Maher is also a three-time All-American, while Wilbourn is two-time. At the conference level, both were four-time All Mid-South Conference and Wilbourn was 2011 MSC Freshman of the Year.
Georgetown College volleyball was not going down without a fight. The No. 15 Tigers (31-12) won Pool C and advanced to the Top 12 in the 2014 NAIA Volleyball National Championship, presented by J&L Staffing and Recruiting.
The Tigers took No. 14 Eastern Oregon University (30-5) to a five-set thriller, falling 23-25, 25-20, 11-25, 29-27, 12-15 Friday morning in Sioux City, Iowa.
"We battled and played hard," said GC coach Nick Griffin. "I'm very proud of how we played these past several weeks and for the third straight season made it to the single elimination portion of the national tournament. That's a great accomplishment."
Allyson Wilbourn was a kill shy of her season-high as she had a match-high 18 kills in her final game for Georgetown. Fellow senior Caraline Maher was right behind her with 16 kills. Kaysie Massie had the hot hand early and finished with 13 kills.

The Chairman, Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme, Mr. Christopher Kolade, has said that about 40 million Nigerians need employment.
Kolade said in Ilorin on Tuesday that one of the challenges of graduate unemployment was the inability of the system to absorb the nearly 300,000 graduates being produced by Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions.
He spoke at a sensitisation forum for firms in Kwara State.
His address was delivered by the Assistant Director and Head of Services, SURE-P, Mr. Anthony Kalu.
Kolade stated that firms readily blame the lack of experience, high cost of maintaining a large workforce and the need to maintain profit above the red line as the reasons for not employing the graduates.
He added that most firms required working experience for new workers' uptake, as they did not wish to spend time and resources on inexperienced employees that might not eventually fit in.
He said most graduates remain unemployed because of their inability to "hit the ground running".
Kolade stated that Graduate Internship Scheme provides solution to this unemployment problem by developing a skill base that firms can benefit from among the nation's graduates at very minimal cost.
He added that the GIS was one of the strategies of the Federal Government to create more awareness and generate more discourse among the citizens on graduate unemployment and what the government was doing to reduce it.
"The GIS programme is one of the interventions of SURE-P. GIS is a platform that provides young graduates with temporary work placement as well as provide a livelihood for upto to 12 months.
"Government also recognises the fact that all stakeholders – Federal Government, state governments, local governments, organised private sector, development organisations, and religious organisations must also resolve to reverse the unemployment trend for it to change.
"This is because Federal Government knows it cannot do this alone and is painfully aware of the fact that manpower development is critical for the attainment of the National Vision 20:2020," he said.
According to Kolade, among the objectives of GIS is the resolve to enhance the employability of at least 50,000 unemployed graduates in the 36 states of the Federation and in the Federal Capital Territory by improving their skill base through work placement.
He stated that on the supply side, over 96,000 unemployed graduates had registered on the GIS portal.
He noted that this is an indication of not just the interest, confidence and hope that these graduates have on the system, but also the seriousness of the challenge of graduate unemployment.
He added that on the demand side, over 2000 firms had so far registered with the scheme nationwide. He, however, said that only about 35 per cent of registered firms had met the FG's minimum requirement for participation.
According to Kolade, in Kwara State 46 organisations have registered and five have been approved to take interns.
"Also, out of the 3,290 that have registered in the state, 21 have been matched to firms and only three have been hired. Clearly, there is the urgent need for firms to participate in this programme and take graduates/interns out of the labour market. This sensitisation is therefore a call to action," Kolade said.

Target Center's standing-room-only crowd Friday night watched the Timberwolves scrap, fight and hustle against Boston.
That's the type of play that will win favor with Target Center crowds, even if the Wolves lost that game 88-86. Sunday's ugly, 105-82 loss to Toronto, however, will not.
The Wolves began Sunday averaging 14,426 fans a game, which ranked 23rd in the NBA. That is down 1,572 fans from last season's average of 15,998, which ranked 24th.
Point guard Sebastian Telfair said the Wolves' loss to Boston in front of a packed arena - many fans came to cheer the return of Kevin Garnett - was especially painful.
"I really wanted to win that game, especially in front of our fans, who all had Boston Celtic jerseys on," Telfair said.
Well, not quite all the fans wore Garnett green. But certainly plenty of them have purchased his new Celtics No. 5 jersey. And don't think for a minute that Wolves players didn't notice.
They're determined to garner more support for the new players. Sunday's game at Target Center drew just 13,785.
"I think next year, we're going to build the team around Al (Jefferson), where we're going to be a powerhouse team, and I think we can have our building like that consistently," Telfair said. "We can start building our own legacy."
It's not surprising that the Wolves have suffered a drop in attendance this season. Their 5-34 start didn't help. But even before the Nov. 2 season opener, the organization faced the loss of the biggest star in franchise history.
Before Sunday's game, coach Randy Wittman said he believes fans are starting to see the organization's vision. He believes the team's improved play and style of play - hustle and defense first - will win fans over.
"I hope so," Wittman said. "That's kind of who we have to be. I think people are starting to realize or see kind of down the road a little bit what we're trying to look at and how we're trying to do this and what we're trying to put together."
Richard improving: Wittman said he believes rookie Chris Richard's stint in the Development League has gone well. Richard should rejoin the Wolves soon, perhaps after Thursday's game for the Sioux Falls (S.D.) Skyforce, his sixth with the D-League team.
Richard entered Sunday averaging 11 points, 11.3 rebounds and 24.5 minutes a game. Wittman, who has watched film of Richard, said he would talk today with Richard and Skyforce coach Nate Tibbetts.
Wittman said he hoped Richard would gain confidence in his offense during his time with the Skyforce so he could be more effective playing opposite Jefferson with the Wolves.
Briefly: Sunday's game featured two of the participants in the NBA's slam-dunk contest, which will be held Saturday during all-star weekend in New Orleans, where Minnesota's Gerald Green will try to win back-to-back dunk titles. The other participants are Toronto's Jamario Moon, Memphis' Rudy Gay and Orlando's Dwight Howard.
Green outdueled Moon in a preliminary meeting during Sunday's game with a baseline throw-down dunk that was more impressive than Moon's alley-oop.
-- Wolves guard Rashad McCants sprained his right ankle in the first half Sunday and did not return. He is listed as day to day.

Gay Liberation Front

Gay Liberation Front (GLF) was the name of a number of gay liberation groups, the first of which was formed in New York City in 1969, immediately after the Stonewall riots, in which police clashed with gay demonstrators. Members of the GLF were a pro-gay organization.[1]
GLF in the United States[edit]
The Gay Liberation Front[edit]
The Activist GLF advocated for sexual liberation for all people; they believed heterosexuality was a remnant of cultural inhibition and felt that change would not come about unless the current social institutions were dismantled and rebuilt without defined sexual roles. To do this, the GLF was intent on transforming the idea of the biological family and clan and making it more akin to a loose affiliation of members without biological subtexts. Prominent members of the GLF also opposed and addressed other social inequalities between the years of 1969 to 1972 such as militarism, racism, and sexism, but because of internal rivalries the GLF officially ended its operations in 1972.[citation needed]
History of the GLF: the Stonewall riots[edit]
The Stonewall riots are considered by many to be the catalyst in the organization of the GLF and other gay and lesbian movements. These riots are also considered to be the origin of the gay rights pacifism movement.[citation needed]
On 28 June 1969 in Greenwich Village, New York, the New York City police raided a gay bar, a routine practice at the time.[citation needed] The establishment, the Stonewall Inn, was a well known LGBT establishment located on Christopher Street in two former horse stables which had been renovated into one building in 1930 and was subject to countless raids since LGBT activities and fraternization were generally illegal. When the police arrived, the customers began pelting them with coins, and later, bottles and rocks. The crowd also freed staff members who had been put into police vans, and the outnumbered officers retreated inside the bar. Soon, the Tactical Patrol Force (TPF), originally trained to deal with war protests, were called in to control the mob, which was now using a parking meter as a battering ram. As the patrol force advanced, the crowd did not disperse, but instead doubled back and re-formed behind the riot police, throwing rocks, shouting "Gay Power!", dancing, and taunting their opposition. For the next several nights, the crowd would return in ever increasing numbers, handing out leaflets and rallying themselves. In early July, due in large part to the riots in June, discussions in the gay community lead to the formation of the Gay Liberation Front. Soon the word "Stonewall" came to represent fighting for equality in the gay community.[citation needed]
One of the GLF's first acts was to organize a march in response to Stonewall and to demand an end to the persecution of homosexuals. The GLF had a broad political platform, denouncing racism and declaring support for various Third World struggles and the Black Panther Party. They took an anti-capitalist stance and attacked the nuclear family and traditional gender roles.[2] Several GLF women, such as Martha Shelley, Lois Hart, and Michela Griffo went on to form the Lavender Menace.[citation needed]
In 1970, "The U.S. Mission", had a permit to use a campground in the Sequoia National Forest. Once it was learned that the group was sponsored by the Gay Liberation Front, the Sequoia National Forest supervisor cancelled the permit, and the campground was closed for the period.[3]
GLF in the United Kingdom[edit]
In the United Kingdom the GLF had its first meeting in the basement of the London School of Economics on 13 October 1970. Bob Mellors and Aubrey Walter had seen the effect of the GLF in the United States and created a parallel movement based on revolutionary politics and alternative lifestyle.[5]
By 1971, the UK GLF was recognized as a political movement in the national press, holding weekly meetings of 200 to 300 people.[6] The GLF Manifesto was published, and a series of high-profile direct actions, were carried out, such as the disruption of the launch of the Church-based morality campaign, Festival of Light.[7]
We do not intend to ask for anything. We intend to stand firm and assert our basic rights. If this involves violence, it will not be we who initiate this, but those who attempt to stand in our way to freedom.
— GLF Manifesto, 1971[5]
The disruption of the opening of the 1971 Festival of Light was the best organised GLF action. The first meeting of the Festival of Light was organised by Mary Whitehouse at Methodist Central Hall. Cliff Richard and Malcolm Muggeridge were among those also involved in the group. Groups of GLF members in drag invaded and spontaneously kissed each other; others released mice, sounded horns, and unveiled banners, and a contingent dressed as workmen obtained access to the basement and shut off the lights.[8]
Easter 1972 saw the Gay Lib annual conference held in the Guild of Undergraduates Union (students union) building at the University of Birmingham.[9]
By 1974, internal disagreements had led to the movement's splintering. Organizations that spun off from the movement included the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard, Gay News, and Icebreakers. The GLF Information Service continued for a few further years providing gay related resources.[10] GLF branches had been set up in some provincial British towns (e.g., Bradford, Bristol, Leeds, and Leicester) and some survived for a few years longer. The Leicester Gay Liberation Front founded by Jeff Martin was noted for its involvement in the setting up of the local "Gayline", which is still active today and has received funding from the National Lottery. They also carried out a high profile campaign against the local paper, the Leicester Mercury, which refused to advertise Gayline's services at the time.[11] [12]
The papers of the GLF are among the Hall-Carpenter Archives at the London School of Economics.[citation needed]
Several members of the GLF, including Peter Tatchell, continued campaigning beyond the 1970s under the banner of OutRage!, which still exists today, using similar tactics such as "zaps" and performance protest to attract a significant level of media interest and controversy. It was at this point that a divide emerged within the gay activist movement, mainly due to a difference in ideologies, after which a number of groups including Organization for Lesbian and Gay Action (OLGA), Stonewall (which focused on lobbying tactics), the Lesbian Avengers, and OutRage! co-existed.[citation needed]

Aunt Marthas Iron on transfers are wonderful. I use them all the time for my projects. The only negative thing I would have to say is that I'm not sure if they come off as easy on any other materiel aside from Aunt Marthas.

Welcome to Spalding Grammar School, here we encourage all students to develop their unique qualities and talents in a supportive community. This is a school where individuals matter.
We have high expectations in all aspects of school life:
- high expectations for academic success – we expect everyone to work hard
- high expectations for behaviour – we expect everyone to support each other
- high expectations for involvement – we expect everyone to get involved with all aspects of School life.
The last Ofsted inspection clearly recognised these qualities when it rated every aspect of student development as outstanding.
The School's principal aim is to ensure that all students have every opportunity to attain their potential – intellectually, socially and personally. The cornerstone of our approach is the strength of the relationships between staff, pupils, governors and parents throughout our community. The friendly and orderly atmosphere combines with a stimulating academic environment to develop the qualities which lead to successful examination results, satisfying personal relationships, the correct blend of individual strengths and co-operation with others, as well as the confidence to face the challenges of the wider world.
The School has a long tradition in fulfilling this aim to the highest standard, with our students going on to be leaders of their communities. This has been achieved by building on our traditional core values (honesty, trust, integrity, respect, consideration, high expectations), while encouraging innovation in a mutually supportive community.
Our success in securing Specialist Status as a Language & Engineering College, combined with our new, state-of-the-art facilities is providing a clear focus for the School to continue to provide a first class, all round education as the 21st century unfolds.

Scorpion Double Flex Leg Guards are the second half of the most dynamic and exciting catcher's gear in the game, working in tandem with the Scorpion Chest Protector
Protection System
The padding system on the Scorpion leg guard envelops the leg, protecting as much (or as little) as your style prefers. It also features a unique distribution pad on the calf strap to reduce pressure on the back of the leg.
Air Flow
Scorpion™ Leg Guards use vented protective padding in combination with Coolmax lining to maximize air circulation inside the leg guard, helping to control body temperature.
Ankle Protection
Scorpion addresses a chronic unprotected area in catcher's gear – the ankle. Side protection for the ankle is built right in.
Removable Toe Plate
Another chronic area of "no protection" – the top of your foot and toe. Scorpion leg guards address that weakness with a strong, resilient toe plate. You can remove it if you prefer.

INDIANA - Democratic Primary - open
Polls close: 7:00 PM ET
72 delegates at stake, proportional
NORTH CAROLINA - Democratic Primary
Polls close: 7:30 PM ET
115 delegates at stake, proportional
Semi closed – residents registered as Democrats or unaffiliated can vote in the Dem. primary
There has been only one voting contest (Pennsylvania) since the controversial comments of Rev. Jeremiah Wright surfaced on YouTube and were subsequently broadcast everywhere.
There are many question marks on just how the Wright issue has hurt Barack Obama's campaign for the nomination, if it has at all. Obama continues to outpace Hillary Clinton in superdelegate endorsements and most uncommitted superdelegates surveyed by ABC News said that while the Wright issue was a distraction in the race, it was not affecting their decision.
Tonight's results in Indiana and North Carolina could shed light on that key unknown – the Wright factor.
Per ABC News' Polling Director Gary Langer, preliminary exit poll results indicate that just under half of Democratic primary voters in Indiana and North Carolina alike call the controversy surrounding the Rev. Jeremiah Wright an important factor in their vote, a potential wildcard in the outcome of these two contests.
But Langer notes that the impact of the Wright controversy could be mitigated by early decision-making: "In both states around three-quarters of voters or more say they made up their minds before last week, when the debate over Obama's ex-minister heightened. That's more early deciders than usual; the average across all primaries to date has been 67 percent."
Both candidates are looking for the clean sweep tonight – Obama, so he can finally land the knockout punch, and Clinton so she can continue to make her case to those critical superdelegates to get on her side.
Asked today by ABC News' Kate Snow if she would stay in the race no matter what happens tonight, Clinton didn't make a firm commitment.
"I'm always interested in finding out what voters actually think," she said. "Because there's all kinds of speculation. It would be like predicting who would win the Indy 500 before it even starts. We don't know. People prepare. They work hard. They do their best. Life is unpredictable. Racing is unpredictable. Politics is unpredictable. So I'm just going to wait and see what the voters have to say."
Obama set his own expectations this morning at the Four Seasons restaurant in Greenwood, IN, per ABC News' Sunlen Miller. "I think it's going to be close," Obama said.
Election officials in both states say that turnout has been high and there have been no major problems at voting locations.
As always, ABC News' Senior Political Writer Rick Klein will be liveblogging the action-packed primary night
Where are the candidates tonight?
Hillary Clinton – Indianapolis, IN
Barack Obama – Raleigh, NC
Where we go from here – By the Numbers:
Primaries: 6
Pledged Delegates remaining: 217
Uncommitted Superdelegates: approximately 260

The Wiggins Story
Wiggins Lift Co., Inc. is a fully integrated manufacturer of rough terrain and industrial forklifts. With state of the art design capabilities the company satisfies customer specific material handling needs using a Customer/Wiggins Team concept to uniquely design and configure the right material handling system for the user.
The company, a family owned and operated corporation located in Oxnard, California, had its beginning just after World War II. During the war Mel Wiggins had worked at the Long Beach shipyard using his natural mechanical ability and his skills as a master welder, metal fabricator and machinist to help build ships for the war effort. When the war ended Mel and his wife, Hattie, decided to move to Ojai, California where there were employment opportunities for Mel's skills in the oil fields and farming business.
After moving to Ojai, Mel began supplying the oil industry and the agriculture community with various mechanical services. As Mel's capabilities became better known, he found it advantageous to move to the neighboring city of Oxnard, California. In 1953 the business was incorporated as Wiggins Welding and Machine, Inc and continued to grow by providing services to the construction trades as well as the oil industry and agriculture businesses. Mel invented, designed and manufactured many material handling innovations for the farmers and ranchers in Ventura County. The company was frequently asked to service and repair many different types of equipment, particularly forklifts. Mel often remarked that much of the equipment was so poorly designed that "you had to turn them upside down to work on them", particularly the forklifts. This led to the design of the first Wiggins forklift – a rough terrain forklift that was powerful, versatile, durable and easy to service – ideal for applications in construction, agriculture and the oil fields. The first unit was manufactured and sold in the mid 1960′s and the name of the company was changed to Wiggins Lift Co., Inc. With this new direction, Mel coined a company slogan that is, in effect, a brief, simple but powerful and complete mission statement… "Engineered for the owner, designed for the operator".
Using this statement as its creed, the company has continued to grow and expand the products it offers. Now, under the leadership of Mike Wiggins, Mel's son, assisted by Hattie Wiggins, his mother, Paul Hurbace, his brother-in-law, Michele Wiggins – McDowell (Hattie's granddaughter) and other family members, Wiggins Lift Co., Inc. is one of the most innovative and versatile designers and manufacturers of marina, rough terrain, industrial and special application forklifts. Anywhere a unique material handling system approach is needed, Wiggins, uses its "state-of-the-art" engineering design and manufacturing capability, to quickly provide a unique, cost-effective solution. The results of the company's Wiggins + Customer Design Team philosophy is seen in many industries — boat handling, stevedoring, agriculture, construction and mining.

Respiratory Protection Program (RPP)
To protect the health of respirator wearers, to ensure compliance with State and Federal Regulations, and to prevent respirator misuse.
General respiratory protection requirements are found in the Code of Federal Regulations at
; additional requirements are found in industry and substance specific worker protection standards. A specific requirement takes priority over general requirements.
Scope and Application
This program applies to all University of Minnesota Duluth employees who are required either by OSHA, or by their Department to wear respirators during normal work operations, and during some non-routine or emergency operations such as a spill of a hazardous substance.
Employee using light weight, filtering dust masks as part of their duties ( to protect against animal allergens, or biological agents) will also be required to comply with program requirements.
In addition, any employee who voluntarily wears a reusable respirator (when respirator is not required by either the employer, or OSHA) is also subject to the medical evaluation, fit testing cleaning, maintenance, and storage elements of the program, and must be provided with information specified in the (
voluntary use
) section of the program.
Respirators may be used at the University of Minnesota to prevent exposure to airborne hazards exceeding the Threshold Limit Value (TLV), the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) or which ever the lowest. They are used only as the last alternative and only when other hazard control methods such as dedicated local exhaust or area ventilation are not feasible.

Voluntary vs. Required Use of Respirators
Full Respiratory Protection Program compliance is mandatory
when any respirator use (including lightweight, single-use respirators also called dust masks or filtering face pieces) is required either by the employer or by OSHA to prevent employee exposure from exceeding the Threshold Limit Value (TLV), or the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), and Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) of a particular substance, or to prevent exposures to known airborne allergen and infectious pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Respirator use is voluntary
when respirators are worn in areas where airborne concentrations of air contaminants are below the TLV or PEL, or when employees wish to wear a respirator to control non-occupational conditions such as allergies. These are situations where OSHA does not require the use of a respirator and respirator misuse is not likely.
When reusable or light weight disposable respirators are provided to employees for voluntary use, departments must ensure their employees
are trained on proper use and maintenance of respirators.
read the information in the
"Voluntary Use of Respirators"
, and
are physically able to wear negative pressure reusable respirators and are included in the medical monitoring portion of the respiratory protection program.
Full Program Compliance Description
Full program compliance requires departments/employers to:
Designate a
Program Administrator
(this may be someone already assigned as a department Safety Coordinator or a Supervisor) (See program
administrator qualification
Complete the written
Site-Specific Respiratory Protection Plan
Conduct a
Job Hazard Analysis
to identify the respiratory hazard of concern, and request an evaluation and estimation of potential employee exposure.
Complete a written Task-Specific Safe Operating Procedure, for every task requiring the use of respiratory protection and the use of hazardous substances or equipment (see
SOP template
Have employee fill out and send "
Medical Evaluation Questionnaire For General Use
" and assign workers to tasks requiring the use of a respirator only after a physician or other licensed health care professional has evaluated the employee's health.
(The medical provider will first screen written responses to the questionnaire and then follow up with a physical examination whenever screening raises questions about the worker's health).
Select appropriate respirators,
Respirator Selection
will be made by the site program Administrator in cooperation with DEHS staff and the employee using the respirator. The health care professional recommendation, the Hazard Assessment and Air Monitoring results if necessary will be the determining factor on the type of respirator selected.
Initially and annually fit test or (depending on the hazards and respirators used) arrange for an Env. Health and Safety Technician to fit test the respirator assigned to workers, to assure adequate face seal is obtained (see
Respirator Fit Testing Procedure
for guidance).
Provide a place to clean, disinfect and dry the respirator (see
Respirator Maintenance Procedure
); also, a clean place to store them must be provided. The respiratory program administrator must assure that the respirators are appropriately maintained and repaired or replaced as needed.
Train workers on the use, fit, care and limitations of respirators. Retraining is required annually, or anytime after a workplace change or when an employee indicates a deficiency of understanding.
Ensure all employees using respirators voluntarily comply with the department's site specific plan and the
"Voluntary Use of Respirators".

Several Goose Creek Police officers responded to Jackson Street near Goose Creek High School shortly after 4 p.m. on March 10.
A female victim called police to say a black man broke into her home, pointed a gun at her and demanded money.
Police and a K-9 were unable to track down the suspect, according to a GCPD incident report.
The victim said she was sitting on her couch with a three-year-old watching television when she heard the back door being kicked in. The victim said the suspect was wearing a blue shirt and pointed a shiny gun at her.
Wheres the check? Wheres my money? the suspect asked.
The victim said she threw her purse at him and told him she did not have any money, according to the report. The suspect made her put the child on the sofa as she went upstairs.
When she came back downstairs the child was still on the couch but the suspect was gone. The victim said she could not tell if the suspect took anything.
She was unable to tell which way he departed the residence. The suspect was tall, had a beard and wore earrings in both ears.
The victim told police she is in the last stages of pregnancy and the subject threw her to the floor at some point during the incident.
She refused to be transported to the hospital saying her mother would transport her there at a later time for evaluation.
The investigation continues.

San Diego, CA - According to Jerry Crasnick, the San Diego Padres made a free agency splash last night by signing starting pitcher Josh Johnson to a one-year contract worth around $8 million. While he is coming off of a down year with the Toronto Blue Jays, he is still a very talented pitcher. At the age of 29, his youth is quickly passing him up, but he certainly does have a few good years ahead of him.
Johnson went 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA and 83 strikeouts on the season with the Blue Jays. Obviously those numbers are not what you'd think of from a top three pitcher in a rotation, but he's certainly more than capable of helping out San Diego's staff. He has some things to work on, but he has the work ethic and ability to get back to the potential that he showed when he was with the Marlins.
Tim Dierkes of MLBTradeRumors.com has reported that Johnson can earn up to an extra $1.25 if he's able to make 26 starts. That is obvious motivation for Johnson to get into the best shape that he can and work hard this offseason to reach the full level of his talent. If he makes less than seven starts, the Padres would get a $4 million option for 2015.
Johnson was looking for a one-year contract where he could work to beef up his stock on the open market for last year, but San Diego wasn't one of the teams that he was expected to consider. They aren't likely going to compete for a playoff spot, nor are they his best bet to win games at a high clip either. That being said, he's going to be relied upon and he's going to be able to showcase his full talent even if he's unable to win a good amount of games.
This deal completely relies on Johnson being able to stay healthy, but he is confident in his ability to play well this year. The Padres need starting pitching and Johnson certainly could be a top of the rotation type of player. Overall, this is a good move for both sides and it will be very interesting to watch how it pans out.

Janelle Duyck '08

From Tractor to Trustee Meeting
"My dad likes to say that farmers were the first environmentalists," says politics student Janelle Duyck '08, who grew up on a farm in Hillsboro, Ore., patched jobs together to get through school, and graduates in December.
She still helps out on the farm for a month every summer, driving tractor 16 hours a day to get through the rows -- berries, wheat, corn and grasses spread across hillsides and flatlands. "My dad has memorized the phone number for the weather," says Duyck, who's inherited his work ethic.
Her first summer after college, she canvassed door to door for OSPRIG, a public interest advocacy group, creating awareness about global warming -- in temperatures that sometimes topped 100 degrees. "We talked about renewable energy legislation -- from 10 in the morning until 10 at night," says Duyck, who carried a backpack of literature for miles. "You learn a lot about people when you go door to door."
She also advocated for a more sustainable lifestyle at Willamette, where she and Maya Karp '07 created a sustainable floor in Matthews Hall. Her roommates used low-flow showerheads and cloth towels instead of paper. They turned out lights, composted kitchen scraps in outside flowerbeds, and turned over old event flyers to print new events on the back. They carried reusable mugs with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, "Women are like tea bags. You never know how strong they are until you put them in hot water."
"Our goal was to make our little community more environmentally friendly and to lower our carbon footprint," Duyck says. "The uncertainty about our environmental future scares me, but I'm optimistic. I think people are good, and we're trying to do the right thing. You can be a realist and an optimist at the same time.
"I used to look at things as black and white, but since coming to Willamette I've spent more time trying to understand the gray areas. A true democracy rests on people being educated enough to understand issues, and Willamette teaches you to think critically and keep an open mind. I've learned that two very intelligent people can arrive at very different conclusions."
Willamette has been a great fit for Duyck in other ways as well. "It's small enough that you can really make a difference," she says. She chaired the Sustainability Committee in Kaneko Commons, chaired the student judicial board, organized the "I'm Dreaming of a Green Holiday" alternative gift market, and coordinated a vegetarian barbeque, where she created awareness of the environmental and health benefits of vegetarianism. She even advocated for a sustainable campus in a presentation to University trustees.
"I tried to focus on small things people can do, things that wouldn't really have that much impact on individual lives, but would make a difference collectively.
In a motivational speech she gave to incoming students, she said, "You chose Willamette because it's a great school, so it may seem perfect. But it's not -- and that's good. Everything can be improved, including this community, and the school is small enough that you can really make a difference and inspire others if you capitalize on the opportunities."
Duyck will graduate in December, and her goals then? "I want to do something with my life that has impact," she says, "but even seemingly insignificant jobs can help people. With my education and job experience, I feel that my options are endless, whether it's going to grad school in politics or law, working at the state capitol, or working with a nonprofit group, especially one focused on sustainability."
And when she needs a breather from good works, she can always fall back on the affinity for nature she inherited from her farmer dad. "Some of my friends laugh at me," Duyck says, "but I really do like to stop and smell the roses."

Favorite Nature Valley Granola Bar flavor?
So I was at Albertsons in the cereal/granola bar section for a good ten minutes or so (literally) trying to decide which Nature Valley flavor I wanted. I never realized how many choices there were! I was torn between Pecan Crunch and Roasted Almond, but I'm also an Oats n' Honey fanatic; Peanut Butter is equally delicious, and I had never tried Cinnamon before (though I'd probably love it because cinnamon is my favorite spice). Anyway, all this to ask: What's YOUR favorite flavor?
After what seemed like an eternity, I finally ended up getting the variety pack (Oats n' Honey, Cinnamon, Peanut Butter). I like to play it on the safe side... for now :@)

Can't stop buying more!
I can't stop buying these, they look amazing and the more you have the more impressive your house looks. My neighbors are put to shame with their Target brand cheap-o lights.
great set for windows
This is a well made set which will fit many standard and oversized windows using only 1 set. The colors are bright and vivid. Using only 4 watts per set you can decorate every window in the house.
Mini Christmas lights
Just receieved 5 sets of these, and they are great....good color and brightness.
good colors and quality
I bought 3 sets of these last year for our Christmas tree and like them so much I bought 10 more sets during the summer clearance sale. I liked the price a lot better when they were 25% off but I still think they are a good value a full price. I switch to LED when they first came out like 5 years ago and went through a lot of crappy lights before I knew what to look for in a good set. The cheap ones won't last longer than the incandescents. This set has nice durable wire, a good wire twist and bright colors that don't flicker.
Very nice lights
These lights are much brighter than our old incandescent holiday lights. Seem to be well made, durable, and a nice size for a typical Christmas tree or other decorations. I'm looking forward to the lower electric bill we'll have this year since we're using these LEDs.

When the first game of the regular season is a loss, it's tempting to keep talking about the process, individual performances, and positive signs like it's still the pre-season. After all, it's a long season with plenty of time for the Canucks to adjust to a new system and for the roster to evolve into its final form. Like a Pokemon, it takes a lot of battles, a trade, or…uh, an elemental stone. Okay, the metaphor breaks down a little.
In any case, I say forget being level-headed. This is the first game in months where the result actually matters. I say we revel in this loss. Let it hurt. Get upset. Allow the loss to get under your skin and piss you off. You can wait until tomorrow to realize that it's just one game out of 82. For now, let this game matter, because games that matter are way more fun than games that don't matter.
This game? The one that mattered? I watched this game.
Never stop writing this stuff it is pure gold. I am living in England for this season and the highlights paired with your IWTG is pure gold. In games like this I prefer it to watching the game, it's like the quick bandaid pull approach. How was Lou in the remaining 2 periods? I saw he was superb in the 1st.
Luongo was good in the second and third periods as well, but the Sharks did score four goals on him. All four came off turnovers where he didn't have much chance, but he's capable of pulling off a big save on those kinds of opportunities. I definitely wouldn't pin the loss on Luongo: he was good enough to win, but the team in front of him was not.
the sharks are a pretty good team.
the canucks were competitive thanks to lou and some great pk work. they kept it close until they didn't. they finally lost patience(higgins was the first to snap) with the lack of scoring chances and down they went.
i kinda liked the look of the 5 on 5 zone defence. they're still working on it but the relative absence of chasing guys around in the d-zone was a noted improvement.
booth got his look on the 1st line and i hope torterella has satisfied his curiosity now.
but what i fear most is that the injury parade (and later the exhaustion parade.) tanev, burrows, kesler(friendly fire,) daniel(friendly fire) all surely have the ice packs going and probably others. i really don't know about this shot blocking mandate. plus the western travel, plus the short bench….
Not really. Torts is still looking to see what kind of players he has and how they perform in actual games. But in the end, what can he really change line-up wise? It's pretty much the same personnel (at least on the lines that really matter!). Plus the lack of a 3C with upside just continues…
Don't get excited Mike Gillis haters, I said puck management.
Ha ha ha loved that line.
Zach I wouldnt worry about the line blending. Once Kassian is back the lines should get less blended and yes even that horrible 3rd line might make something of itself. I did like the agression, fore check, PK, Goal tending and tempo in this game. They are adjusting to a system and overall I saw lots of positives against a strong team.
Well, game 1 i n the books. 81 more to go. Ever the eternal optimist, I did see reasons to be optimistic last night; I thought the first 10 minutes of the game were as good as I've seen the Canucks look, end to end, since the finals run of 2011. So that's something. A game does last 60 minutes though, so there's that…
But the big thing that jumped out at me last night really hurts, and it doesn't have much to do with the 'nucks: I kind of saw this coming in the playoffs last year, and yes I know how early it is this year, but the San Jose Sharks are going to be very, very good. They are deep, fast, physical, well coached, made up of a nice blend of youth and veterans, and, here's the icing on the cake, with IMHO the best goalie in the game. If anyone can knock out the Blackhawks this April/May from the West, it's them. And I actually think match-up wise they would have had a good shot at 'em last year if they'd have won that game 7 against the Kings. Yuck.
As an East-Coaster, I only watched the first half of the game, but did think the Canucks looked decent for a team that was badly out shot-attempted in the first period and first half of the second. The comments about the eliteness of the Sharks are well said. I expect some growing pains early in the year as the team adjusts to Torts, and I wouldn't be shocked with an early season trade. Luongo in good form to start the year (one game in, anyways) is a great sign. Bottom line is the Canucks will need at the very least above average if not elite goaltending if they are going to make some noise this year, and Luongo certainly looked ready to do his part last night.
Where's 1040 When I Need Him?
So every troll is on a roll
Smugly smiling, "I told you so!
This game's the way that things will go,
Lui's a bigger sieve in goal,
Talk of trade has taken its toll,
Forwards can't score as you well know,
The defence is awkward and slow,
Once again the answer is, 'No!'"
Enjoy your trolling while you can
It is so easy to abuse
And get your joy when others lose
By ragging on the loyal fan
Who because he's chosen to choose
Simply ignores your vacuous views
I turned on the 3rd period just in time to watch the last 2 goals go in. Welcome back, Canucks! I was hoping to wait a few games before we got a stinker like this.
Some of those giveaways just seemed like total space-out moments (especially Higgins'). I'm hoping they're still just shaking off a bit of rust and adjusting to the new system. Because coughing up the puck the way they did shouldn't happen in any system.
was just over at canucks army reading the recap and comments and sheesh… what a bunch of downers. credit to the writers and maintainers of this site, not only is your approach amusing and fresh, but it's managed to conjure an audience with sensibilities. so thanks to pass it to bulis and thanks to the commenters for being cool.
In the calendar year 2013, the Canucks have now played 59 total hockey games (pre-, regular and post-season). They have compiled a 28-24-7 record across those games. Of that, they are 28-14-7 against the rest of the NHL and 0-10-0 against San Jose. I think it's time to hire a beat-the-Sharks guru or something because I'm starting to lose my sense of humor about it.
We haven't registered a win on a season opener for several years now, so I'm not that upset with the last night's result. It's all about process and it was the first step.
I'm a bit puzzled by Hammer's performance though… For the team's most reliable defenceman his mind didn't seem to have a complete control of his body, causing several very un-hammer like moments including a crucial turnover in the 3rd that sealed the deal,
Hope it was just one of those nights where his timing was off, not battling an injury.
The slide to re-build has begun in Nuckland. The big difference between Nucks and the Flames is the Flames actually have prospects while Casucks not much. Time to trade the Sister's, Kesler, Bieksa and Loselongo (opps already tried that) One word to describe the fan base in Vancouver, CHUMPS

Alamo Heights' 'Tin Man' to come down
By Sarah Tressler : January 25, 2013 : Updated: January 25, 2013 1:26pm
Photo By Sarah Tressler/Express-News
The "Tin Man" water tower in Alamo Heights will be dismantled Monday.
Photo By Sarah Tressler/Express-News
The far left tower, built in 2010, and the center tower, built in 1968, are 7 feet taller than the "Tin Man" tower on the far right, which will be dismantled Monday to make room for Alamo Heights' new municipal facilities.
Turns out an engineering problem is the main reason Alamo Heights' "Tin Man" water tower will be dismantled Monday.
The 131-foot tower, built in 1928, is seven feet shorter than the other two towers near the city's municipal complex at Broadway and Blue Bonnet Boulevard. The height difference means the two taller towers can't be filled to capacity, said Patrick Sullivan, the director of public works for Alamo Heights.
"We couldn't keep these two full without overflowing the Tin Man," Sullivan said, gesturing to the newer towers, one built in 1968, the other in 2010.
"It's not compatible with the other two tanks," he said, noting it's also in the way of a new municipal facility the city is planning.
A local business owner thinks the tower should remain, even if it's not effectively serving its intended purpose.
"I think they should have probably kept it," said Pablo Suarez, owner of the Alamo City Barber Shop & Beauty Supply store a block from the Tin Man. "It's an icon of the city."
But leaving the tower in place would cost almost $500,000 in repairs and painting, a cost the city would rather not pay, Sullivan said.
"It's rusting and in disrepair," he said. "We inquired about relocating it, but we're a landlocked city that already has parking issues."
The tower will be salvaged for scrap iron; identifiable parts will be kept "for nostalgia," Sullivan said.

May 27, 2008
It seems really strange writing a "last entry," to be honest. In a way, I don't know that it's really sunk in yet. I know I've sat through graduation, and I've already walked across the stage and I have my piece of paper that says 'I made it.' I've already said my goodbyes to my grandparents and my friends and my professors, and I've returned the gown and packed up my apartment. I've had my last senior pub night, my last dinner with the seniors at Steve Vineberg's house, and my last breakfast in the senior apartments. My stuff is everywhere—in my car, in the costume shop, in my parents' basements— and after my weekend in Boston, my bank account is a little lighter. In a vague way, I'm thinking about money, and jobs, and my future, and I'm wondering when the next time I'll see so-and-so is, and I'm wishing I had spent more time in a million different ways last weekend.
But no, honestly. No, it hasn't really quite hit me yet that Mikaele is going to Spain and Nell to Taiwan and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye, or that even those who are only going so far as New York, DC, or Jersey are still much farther away than a walk to Caro Street or down an apartments hallway. It hasn't settled in that the random people you smile at on your way out of Stein or the people you had class with freshman year—those people are going to live their lives and maybe I won't see them again. And although I'm returning to HC for the summer, it will be as an alum, and not an undergrad, and I guess that's a title that just takes some time to settle into.
Perhaps I'm the only one who feels like this—that transitioning out of college is perhaps almost as confusing and unsettling as transitioning into it. Maybe everyone else had their moment of accepting that their time here had come to an end well before I did, and I'm just alone in feeling a little turned around. But as one of six hundred and sixty-nine people who graduated on Friday, I would say that it's probably safe to bet that I'm not alone here. That while the commencement ceremony was beautiful, it's not the only memory of these four years that I'm going to take away with me. I would say it's safe to bet that a lot of my classmates are already missing their college experiences and trying to figure out who they are now as alums of this college, and where they fit into the world now. But I would also say that with four years of questioning our identities—both inside the classroom and out of it—we're leaving equipped with the tools to figure out where we belong after this.
I couldn't leave this blog without posting pictures, obviously—so enjoy pictures of the girls at Baccalaureate Ball and then me with some professors at the reception after the ceremony. And I also couldn't leave the blog without thanking the staff at Public Affairs for affording me the opportunity, especially Christian, Nick, and Ellen. And finally, I'd like to say hey to anybody who might be reading this. If you're a prospective student, I can't say for certain that Holy Cross is right for you—but I can tell you without a doubt that it was right for me. If you're a member of the class of 2008, congratulations, and I hope to see you again soon. If you're a professor, hey, Steve—dinner was fantastic last Monday night, and I really want your recipe for the pomegranate glaze on the chicken. And if you're an alumnus, thanks for letting me into the club, and I can only hope your memories of your four years here are as great as mine.

(Washington – December 7, 2012) The Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights (RFK Center) has released a statement from a diverse group of top Christian leaders in the United States expressing their renewed concern over Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill. Today's release builds upon and reiterates the principles of two previous statements organized by the RFK Center that collectively represent the voices of over 60 leading African-American, Catholic and Evangelical voices.
"If enacted into law, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill would violate a litany of Uganda's international human rights obligations," said Santiago A. Canton, Director of the Partners for Human Rights program at the RFK Center. "It has been clear from the beginning that faith leaders in Uganda and the West have been a constant source of misinformation and a driving force behind this grave threat to the human rights of LGBTI Ugandans. We will need continued engagement and support from the faith community in order to protect the rights of all Ugandans, and in particular Uganda's LGBTI community."
Originally introduced in 2009, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill never came to a vote in Uganda's 8th Parliament. In a highly irregular procedure, the Bill was brought back in the 9th Parliament where, despite repeated requests from civil society, Ugandan parliamentarians have refused to hold public hearings on the matter. Now Ugandan leaders have threatened to pass the Bill as a "Christmas gift." However, the prominent Christian leaders of the statement conclude: "As the Christmas season approaches, we hope Christians everywhere will join together to reject the idea that a Bill targeting a vulnerable minority could ever be an appropriate celebration of the birth of Christ."
In the coming days, the RFK Center will be working with partners around the world to disseminate the concerns of prominent faith voices to Uganda in order to combat the widespread support and misinformation from Uganda's influential faith community regarding the Anti-Homosexuality Bill that is currently moving forward in parliament.
