Comments about Hook and Loop Sanding Pad:
The tool does a great job sanding, its easy to control and light. The only issue I have is after only 2 peices of sand paper the edges of the pad were worn down allowing the paper to slip on the pad. At about 11 bucks a pad I will not use this feature very much. Its a great tool and I will get many years of service.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

April 19, 1932. B, CLEGG 1,855,009
HOLDER AND SUPPORT THEREFOR Filed Oct. 6, 1930 Patented Apr. 19, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HARRY.B. CLEGG, OF ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO JOSEPH CLEGG, F ATTLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS.
HOLDER AND SU PPORT THEIREFOR' Application filed October 6, 1930. Serial No. 486,647.
This invention relates to an improved holder and support therefor adapted for use in connection with tables or the like for supporting holder members in a convenient position relative to the table.
' One object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which comprises an attaching plate adapted to be secured to the edge of the table in such a manner that it will be relatively inconspicuous and will not interfere with the use of the table generally nor prevent the table from being folded and stored within a small space, and a removable holder member capable ofbeing readily secured to or removed from the attaching plate.
Another-object of the invention relates to the provision of an improved supporting member and the manner of forming the same for holding a circular or cylindrical article securely in place and in an upright position.
Other objects and advantages of the invention relate to various improved details of construction and novel arrangements of the parts as will be more fully set forth in the detailed description to follow.
Referring to the drawings Fig. 1 is a' perspective view of a portion of a card table showing my improved holder support applied thereto and provided with a holder suitably constructed for holding a drinking glass,
Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective View, partially in section and partially disassembled, showing the manner of connecting the holder support to the table,
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective View of the parts forming one type of holder and the manner of connecting them to the supporting arm, and,
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of holder which is adapted to be carried by the supporting arm.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated herewith my improved holder support is shown as applied to the vertical side edge 1 of a card table 2, which may be of any desired type, but is preferably of square or rectangular form as best adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended to be used.
An attaching plate 3 which has its sides bent or shaped as at 1 to form' an ofi-set portion 5, adapted to be positioned in spaced relation with the plane surface 1 of the table edge, is secured to the table edge in any desired manner as by screws 6 or like fastening means. v
A supporting arm 7 has one end 8 thereof bent at substantially right angles to the main portion of the arm, and the bent end portion 8 is formed of such width and thickness as to slidably engage between the off-set portion 5 of the attaching plate and the edge surface 1 of the table while its side edges fitclosely within the bends 4 formed in the plate 3 so that the supporting arm is firmly held against movement relative to the attaching plate 3 and table edge 1 while it is capable of being removed therefrom or replaced therein as may be desired.
In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 1 to 30f the drawings, a drinking glass holder 9'formed from angularly positioned holding strips 10 and 11 is secured to that end of the supporting arm opposite to the angular end 8 thereof. The holding strip 10 comprises a base portion 12 having a central off-set section 14 adapted to fit Within an angular depression 15 formed in the end of the supporting arm Tin such a manner. that the holding strip 10 is held against turning movement on the arm 7 by the sides of the off-set section 14 engaging the edges of the depression 15. The holding strip 11 has a base portion 16 adapted to fit within the central off-set section 1a of the strip 10 when glass or other object of substantially circular cross-section.
In that form of the invention shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings an ash tray 20, which may be provided with a central depressed portion 21, is secured to the angularly depressed portion of the supporting arm 7'.
V The drinking glass holder 9 and ash tray may be adapted for selective attachment to a supporting arm 7, or each may be provided with a separate supporting arm designedfor removable connection with. the attaching plate 3. In either case the supporting arm taching' plate provided with an off-set portion adapted to be secured to a plane attaching surface, a removable supporting arm having an angular end. adapted for sliding engagement between the off-set portion of said plate and the attachingsurface' and the opposite end shaped to provide a shallow depression having angular shoulders, and a holder member comprising a strip provided with an off-set section engageable with the shallow depression in such a manner that adjacent side edges of the off-set section will fit against the angular shoulders of the depression and prevent pivotal movement of the strip relative to the supporting arm, and means for securing said strip to said supportlng arm.
2; A holder and support therefor comprisingaplate for attachment to a plane surface having an off-set portion spaced from the plane surface to form a slot, a supporting armhaving an end portion located at substantially rignt angles to the remaining portion of said arm, said angular portion being of such size as to fit closely within the slot, the remaining portion of said arm being provided with a depression having shoulders angularly positioned relative to each other, a holder member comprising interfitting strips, one of said strips being provided with an off-set section fitting against the depressed a portion of said arm in such a manner that adjacent sides of said off-set section will engage the angular shoulders and hold the strip against angular movement relative to said arm, and a fastening member passed through the depressed portion of said arm and the off-set section of said strip to hold said strips and arm against separation and cooperate with the angular shoulders to pre-.
vent rotation of the strips relative to the arm. 3.

From Thierry Henry to Didier Drogba: London's ten greatest Premier League imports
Wednesday 05 August
Name: Robert Pires. Clubs: Arsenal (2000-2006) Aston Villa (2010-2011). Robert Pires took a season to settle into the physicality of Premier League football but everyone's patience was rewarded when he eventually found his feet in the English game. Pires scored the winner in Arsenal's 2003 FA Cup final triumph over a plucky Southampton side, to safeguard his name in the history books. By 2005 the World Cup winner fell under the constraints of Arsene Wenger's policy that no player over the age of 30 should be offered a contract extension of more than one season. The Frenchman tussled with the club for a longer deal to no avail. Pires bowed out in bizarre fashion after the Gunners' Champions League final defeat in Paris in 2006. The winger was sacrificed inside 20 minutes following Jens Lehmann's red card. He made a return to the Premier League with Aston Villa but only nine appearances later he retired from football. Pires was warded the FWA Footballer of the Year accolade for the 2001-2002 season in which he made a host of stunning performances.

The envelope, please: Falmouth church benefits from building retrofit
FALMOUTH — Born out of frustration with local and national government progress toward growing the economy and reducing oil consumption, Upright Framework's Raise ME Up campaign is helping the Foreside Community Church solve an ice dam problem.
Upright Frameworks, a Wilton-based builder of energy-efficient structures, specializes in problems with a building "envelopes." The company uses diagnostic equipment to test the effectiveness of an envelope and to find solutions to manage air quality, weather protection, durability and efficiency.
The Raise ME Up campaign began in September in an effort to show local and national officials that small changes can bring money back into the Maine economy. Through the project, the company committed to doing 100 weatherization retrofits at cost.
"As a business owner, I was fed up with the fact that I have seen a lot of blame being thrown around, but people are not putting together actual solutions for improving the economy," founder Josh Wojcik said.
The project is centered on the idea that a properly implemented weatherization retrofit can be a powerful tool to slash heating bills, improve the overall comfort of a building and reduce carbon footprints.
In the case of the Foreside Community Church, an important aspect of the building retrofit is that it can also help solve ice dams by increasing heat retention.
Last year an ice dam a foot or more thick caused the church major problems.
"Water was running down the outside of the church, but it was also coming down inside," said Sandy Panenka, the parish administrator.
The Rev. Janet Dorman said the church has been lucky this year because the winter has been mild, but ultimately the congregation wants to solve the ice dam problem and make the 200-year-old building more energy efficient.
"Most of the time when people have an ice dam problem, they talk to a roofing contractor who suggests a metal roof, but that doesn't cure an ice dam," Wojcik said.
The church explored the idea of working with a roofing contractor, but ultimately the proposals were too expensive. That's when a church member who had worked with Wojcik suggested Upright Frameworks.
After crawling around in the church's attic, Wojcik found that the ice dam was a result of heat loss.
"They had a gigantic ice dam, a foot or more thick," he said. "I presented them with my findings and talked with them about the Raise ME Up project."
According to Wojcik, the benefits of completing a building retrofit are two-fold, and will significantly pay off for a larger building like the Foreside Community Church.
"When you measure the performance of a building to find out why that building is failing and then you solve all those problems (with a retrofit), the payback period is short and a couple of major things can happen," he said.
"First of all, a considerable amount of money is being diverted away from out-of-state oil companies into the local Maine economy. Secondly, the building owner is in a better position, getting a 15 to 30 percent return on investment with a building that is more comfortable and healthier. Finally, any time that you are reducing heat loss, you are also reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
He also said that if every Maine homeowner completed a building retrofit, as much as $300 million in spending on oil could be saved.
At this point in the Raise ME Up campaign, Upright Frameworks has completed about 25 projects. The company is working on several projects in the Falmouth area and is offering free consultations to home and business owners.
"What we are trying to let people know is that if they want to talk to someone about a building retrofit, I am doing free consults," Wojcik said. "I will come to their home or office and take a look to see if I can see any problems."

The present invention relates generally to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and more specifically to a method for making an improved anode foil for layered aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
High-voltage capacitors are useful in technology applications where brief high-voltage pulses must be delivered, for example, in automatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillators ("ICDs") where high-voltage pulses are required across the defibrillation lead system to affect defibrillation or cardioversion. An ICD and package therefor, including rolled (or "wound") capacitors, are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,254,775 to Langer.
Typically, electrolytic capacitors are used in these applications because they have the best properties in terms of energy density and ability to withstand relatively high voltage. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are generally used, having aluminum foil rolled into a small volume in the form of a cylinder. By etching the surface of the aluminum foil prior to rolling, the surface area and the capacitance are increased accordingly. In the case of such rolled or cylindrical aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the foil is etched, then formed to provide an oxide layer which functions as the dielectric for the capacitor. The formed foil is rolled and then "aged" in the presence of an electrolyte to grow oxide on any exposed aluminum. Aging is the process of slowly increasing the voltage on the capacitor after impregnation with electrolyte over the course of many hours by charging the capacitor using a small current source. After reaching the maximum rated voltage, the voltage may be decreased and the temperature increased. Further details of the construction of such traditional high voltage capacitors used in ICDs are described by P. J. Troup, "Implantable Cardioverters and Defibrillators," at pp. 704-713 (Current Problems in Cardiology, Vol. XIV, No. 12, December 1989, Year Book Medical Publishers, Chicago), which pages are incorporated herein by reference.
In implantable defibrillators, as in other applications where space is a critical design element it is desirable to use capacitors with the greatest possible capacitance per unit volume. One problem with cylindrical aluminum electrolytic capacitors is that the foil cannot be etched as much as might be desirable because heavily etched and formed foils are very fragile and may break during the rolling step. Additionally, the cylindrical shape does not provide an optimum device for packaging of the ICD. One way to allow increased etching of the foil and thus increase capacitance per unit area is to construct the capacitor in a flat, layered or stacked configuration with very highly etched anode foil. This also allows the ICD designer to select the general profile of the capacitor. An implantable cardiac defibrillator with improved flat capacitors is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,131,388 to Pless et al., which patent is incorporated herein by reference.
For layered capacitors, after the foil is etched, voltage is applied to the foil through an electrolyte such as boric acid or citric acid and water or other solutions familiar to those skilled in the state of the art, resulting in the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2 O3) on the surface of the anode foil. Following formation of the oxide on the foil, individual anode plates are punched, stamped or otherwise cut out of the foil in a shape to conform to the capacitor package. The cut edges around the periphery of the anode plates are carefully cleaned to remove particulates of anode material that can get caught between the capacitor plates in the stacked configuration resulting in a high leakage current or capacitor failure. After assembling the capacitor by stacking anode plates, paper and cathode foil, the cut edges of the plates and any other exposed aluminum are then reformed in the capacitor during the aging process to reduce leakage current. However, the oxide produced at the edges during reforming is not as good a quality as the original oxide due to process differences.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a capacitor anode foil plate that does not suffer from the above drawbacks.
It is another object of the invention to provide a method of making a capacitor anode foil plate having a high quality oxide layer at the plate edges.
It is still another object of the invention provide an anode plate which improves the manufacturability and performance of layered aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
The instant invention is directed to a method for making anode foil plates for use with layered electrolytic capacitors and capacitors made with such plates. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a high purity aluminum foil is provided for generation of anode foil plates. Sheets of the foil are highly etched with portions of the foil masked to provide unetched or reduced etch tabs. Following the etch process, the foil is cut or punched into plates from the etched sheets in the general shape of the finished capacitor housing, preferably still attached by the tabs to the foil sheet to provide support and ease of handling. After the etched plates are punched out, they are formed by applying a voltage to the plates in the presence of an electrolyte to provide formed anode foil plates which do not have to be reformed during capacitor aging and which do not generate particulate matter at cut edges. The formed anode plates are layered with cathode plates and paper separators in a capacitor housing with an electrolyte to provide a finished capacitor.
A benefit of the process of the invention is that the energy costs associated with forming the anode foil may be reduced because only foil that will be used in the capacitor need be formed. The time to produce the foil is decreased because of the reduced anode area during formation. The resulting anode plates are ready to be assembled into capacitors, which reduces labor by eliminating the need to clean the cut edges. Aging of the capacitor may be accomplished more quickly because the cut edges of the anodes do not need to be reformed in the capacitor during the aging process. Capacitor performance is improved because all of the anode oxide is of high quality which reduces leakage current in the finished device. Reliability is improved because there is less particulate matter in the capacitor. Energy density can be improved because thinner paper separators can be used between the layers since there is less particulate matter on the anode plate edges.
The various features and advantages of the present invention may be more readily understood with reference to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a plan view of an etched anode foil illustrating the plate periphery which is to be cut from the foil;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a foil sheet showing a plurality of plates partially punched from the sheet;
FIG. 3 is a process diagram illustrating the steps of the invention in producing improved anode plates and capacitor; and
FIG. 4 illustrates a partial cross section of a layered capacitor of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a plan view of an etched anode foil for a flat layered capacitor is shown. In the preferred embodiment, an aluminum anode foil sheet 10 is about 2 to 10 mils thick. A phantom outline of an anode plate 12 is shown illustrating the cut or punch lines for the plate 12. As used herein cutting and punching are intended to include any means for separating the plates from the foil such as stamping, abrading or other known techniques. FIG. 1 shows a foil with a single anode plate for illustration purposes and it will be understood that a larger area foil is generally preferable with a plurality of plates punched from each foil as will be discussed below with reference to FIG. 2. The foil sheet 10 has been etched, preferably in accordance with the procedure described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/443,134, filed May 17, 1995, U.S. Pat. No. 5,660,737, which is incorporated herein by reference. As described therein, a tab portion 14 and possibly an area around the periphery of anode plate 12 are masked during the etch process to provide portions of the foil which are unetched. The plate is cut in the general shape of the capacitor housing and includes anode tab portion 14 and a cutout portion 16 into which cathode plate tabs will extend in a layered capacitor. Thus, the surface of plate 12 except tab 14 is etched and the area of foil 10 outside the plate 12 may be etched or may be masked during the etch process and remain unetched. In the layered capacitor, the anode tabs are welded together and connected to a feedthrough in the capacitor housing to provide the anode electrode connection to the capacitor. The cathode tabs are ultrasonically welded together and to the capacitor case. The capacitor housing is configured to conform to a defibrillator housing. However, any other desired shape could be used. The anode plates of the invention can also be used with solid electrolyte capacitors where no capacitor case is required such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,942,501 "Solid Electrolyte Capacitors and Methods of Making the Same" to MacFarlane et al., which patent is incorporated herein by reference.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a foil sheet 10 is shown having a plurality of partially punched out anode plates 12 with pairs of plates connected to the foil sheet 10 and to each other by an unetched tab bridge 15. A punched-out outline 17 is shown around the periphery of each plate 12 except for the tab bridges 15. Anode tabs 14 are shown in phantom outline. The remaining portion of foil sheet 10 may be etched or unetched as discussed above and serves to support the plates 12. Leaving this portion of foil sheet 10 unetched reduces the current required for forming the anode plates. After the forming step, the plates 12 may be cut from foil sheet 10 along tab bridge 15 which is trimmed to produce tabs 14.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a process diagram illustrating the steps of the invention in producing the anode plates and capacitor is shown. A sheet of thin high purity aluminum foil is provided at step 20. As mentioned above, the foil is about 2 to 10 mils thick. The foil is then highly etched and cleaned at step 22. The etch process including masking portions of the anode plate is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/443,134. For purposes of the present invention, other etch processes known in the art could be used and the particular etch process used is not a part of the present invention. The etched foil may be cleaned with water. After the foil 10 is etched and cleaned, the anode plates 12 are stamped from the foil at step 24 using conventional matched metal dies. The anode plate 10 is now ready for forming which involves growing an oxide layer on the etched surface at step 26. This is typically done by applying a voltage to the foil through an electrolyte such as boric acid or citric acid and water or other solutions familiar to those skilled in the art, resulting in the formation of aluminum oxide (Al2 O3) on the surface of the anode plate 10. The thickness of aluminum oxide deposited or "formed" on the anode foil is proportional to the applied voltage. A benefit of the invention is that the edges are formed in this forming process step rather than the aging process step resulting in a higher quality oxide layer at the edges. If the anode plates 12 were left attached to the foil sheet 10 for the forming process, the plates are removed from the supporting foil at step 28 and the tabs 14 are trimmed. A plurality of these anode plates are assembled with cathode plates and separators into a stacked or layered capacitor assembly at step 30 which is then placed in a capacitor case into which an electrolyte is introduced. Alternatively, the assembly step may be performed by placing the various layers directly into a portion of the capacitor housing which is later closed. Such an assembly method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,522,851, to Fayram, which patent is incorporated herein by reference. Alternatively, a capacitor housing may not be required when using a solid electrolyte as discussed above.
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a portion of a stacked flat capacitor. Each anode plate 12 of the stack has been highly etched on both sides. Each capacitor anode layer may consist of a single anode plate 12, double anode plates, or a higher number of anode plates. Each configuration will give a different energy density and different ESR. ESR is the capacitor series resistance which should be as low as possible or at least matched to the application. Energy density gets better as the number of anode plates per layer increases, but ESR gets worse (i.e., gets higher). The actual number of anode plates per layer will therefore be a compromise between a lower energy density and an acceptable ESR, with two anode plates in common use for these and similar applications. Paper separators 30 cover each anode layer and separate each anode layer from adjacent cathode plates 32. Only three layers of anode plates have been shown for illustrative purposes but the actual number of layers used will be a function of the anode area and the desired capacitance of the finished capacitor. Upper and lower weld tabs 14 are shown bending toward a center tab. A riser 34 of high purity aluminum is placed at the ends of the tabs and joined perpendicular to them. Two laser welds are made along the face of the tabs at each side of the riser joining the plates as well as connecting them to the riser. The riser will be connected to an anode terminal when the plates are assembled in a capacitor housing. Cathode plates 32 have similar tabs that are joined together and welded directly to the case by ultrasonic welding.

By DAVE SKRETTA
(AP) MANHATTAN, Kan. - Every week, the pressure on Collin Klein becomes a little more oppressive.
The senior quarterback has No. 2 Kansas State atop the BCS standings with two games standing in the way of likely playing for a national title. Klein's the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, the poster boy for the program and this week the cover boy for Sports Illustrated.
It's enough to make even the most ardent Bill Snyder disciple lose focus.
Whenever that focus starts to wane or the spotlight shines so brightly that Klein can hardly see, the star player turns to his closest confidant for a sympathetic ear.
It happens to be his younger brother, Kyle.
And he happens to be his teammate.
"I mean, no doubt about it, other than my wife, he's my best friend," Klein said during an interview with The Associated Press. "There's obviously a businesslike mentality for both of us when we're on the field, but it's still totally a brotherly connection as well."
The truth is that they are rarely on the field together.
The elder Klein has become one of the biggest names in college football, his face popping up everywhere. His younger brother is a backup wide receiver who redshirted last season, and who has yet to catch a pass during his freshman year with the Wildcats.
But the bond that holds them together extends far enough beyond the field. Kyle is one of the first people Collin seeks when he needs a sounding board. Their relationship takes the notion of a brotherhood in the locker room to a literal level, one that is rare in the high-stakes world of college football, where scholarships aren't handed out to the undeserving.
"It's truly been a blessing when it worked out that he was able to come and play here," Collin Klein said. "The times we've been able to share growing up in high school, and to be able to extend that into both our college careers, has been invaluable."
In a coincidence bordering on absurd, the Kleins are just one of four sets of brothers on the roster for the Wildcats (10-0, 7-0 Big 12), who play at Baylor on Saturday.
Senior Anthony Cantele, a Lou Groza Award semifinalist, has been passing along his knowledge to Jack Cantele, a redshirt freshman kicker. Wide receiver Curry Sexton, a key contributor on the Wildcats' prolific offense, is the brother of Collin Sexton, a redshirt freshman. Senior linebacker Jared Loomis' brother, Evan Loomis, is also a wide receiver.
Snyder, the Wildcats' longtime coach, said there isn't necessarily rhyme or reason to the recruitment of brothers. It's one of those quirks that just tend to happen. But he also realizes the undeniable benefits to having siblings on the roster.
"Maybe there could be cantankerous relationships or close relationships, or the combination of both," he said, "but regardless of how you grow up, there's a family affection that exists, where you truly care about each other. It's a joy for them to have the opportunity to be together."
That's certainly true in the case of the Klein brothers from Loveland, Colo.
They were both home schooled, and that meant endless hours spent together. They have a lot of the same interests, a similar work ethic, hopes and desires. Kyle Klein admitted to being the more impulsive of the two, but there are far more similarities than differences.
They squabble, of course.
"But I honestly can't remember the last time," said Kyle Klein, who even looks like his big brother. "We had a lot of playful fights, wrestling in the backyard, but in terms of swinging at each other, I don't remember. It's been a long time."
It's more likely that they'll come out swinging in each other's defense.
After Collin Klein sustained a mild concussion a couple weeks ago against Oklahoma State, knocking him out of the game, it was his brother who quickly approached the star quarterback on the sideline to make sure that everything was going to be OK.
"I was somewhat worried about him, obviously, whenever someone gets dinged up," Kyle Klein said. "You have your concern for them. But when I realized what was going on, I wasn't worried. I was just hoping he would be alright, which he was. It was just a matter of time."
The elder Klein was back under center last week, leading Kansas State to a workmanlike 23-10 win over TCU that kept their perfect season intact. And when top-ranked Alabama fell to Texas A&M, one of the biggest obstacles on the road to the BCS championship game was eliminated.
So the pressure will only continue to mount on the Wildcats. The scrutiny is growing with each day that passes, one slip-up along the way potentially ruining a lifetime worth of work.
It's enough to make the hardiest of players sweat.
Good thing Collin Klein has one of his closest confidants close at hand.
"He's always right there," Klein said of his young brother. "He's one of the most loyal people you'll ever meet."

Quite an experience
2014-04-22 12:00:00
A look at some HS teams with loads and loads of experience for 2014.
There are few things that coaches value more than experience. This time of year, as we put together the 2014 Summer Edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football, we're reminded of that. Coach after coach tells us that they're experienced, or they lack experience, or they need experience, or they've got plenty of experience. And from that, they're able to glean how their team will do.
Now, is experience the end-all be-all? Of course not – there are great teams that are almost entirely newcomers, and there are bad teams that have lots of senior leaders. But it can be a valuable indicator of what to expect.
And there are some teams that…well, they're entering 2014 with an embarrassment of riches in the experience department. Here are some units to keep an eye on.
CC Flour Bluff offense: 10 returning starters
Coming off of a 10-win season in 2013, the Hornets – with new coach Chris Steinbruck – will welcome back a whopping 10 starters on offense, most notably WRs Aaron Dilworth and Kevin Dewitt, plus QB Cody Brewer and newcomer of the year RB Reidel Clayton. Considering the Hornets averaged more than 38.5 points per game last season, having so many starters back is certainly a sign that FB is dangerous.
Robinson defense: 10 returning starters
The Rockets' offense was the big draw last season, but perhaps coach Tommy Allison's D will take center stage in 2014. Robinson must replace just one starter on defense (Zac Law), which means the likes of LB Matt McNew, DE Ricky Thompson (who had 11 sacks last season) and DE Kalil Washington are back. Robinson's defense was good last year; it could be sensational this year.
Teague offense: 11 returning starters
You read that right: the entirety of Teague's offense is returning in 2014. That means QB Austin Skinner (2,472 yards, 29 TDs passing), RB John Love (2,117 yards, 24 TDs rushing), WR Aaron Mitchell (1,189 yards, 17 TDs receiving) and the entire offensive line. The Lions could be lethal.
San Augustine defense: 11 returning starters
Admittedly, last year's 5-7 season isn't what the Wolves had in mind, but having the entire defense back will certainly give them a leg up in 2014. There are playmakers here – like all-district DE Chervaric Berry and his brother, all-district DL Charvaris Berry – but the Wolves gave up 40+ points seven times last season, including 71 to Mart and 84 to Alto. Experience should help tone that down.
Gladewater offense: 10 returning starters
You'll hear a lot about Gladewater this season, and most of the attention will be on the defense – they have one of the very best 2015 recruits in DT Daylon Mack. But the offense, which dealt with bouts of spottiness last season, will be back almost entirely intact. The running game should hum behind a seasoned offensive line and RB James Reese, and FB Justice Centers should be an asset for the Bears as well.

For immediate release
High school all-stars to face off in 127 North-South Senior Classic
High school basketball all-stars will take to the court in games for boys and girls on Sunday, June 13 in the Victor Cuiss Fieldhouse, Jackson Community College, in the 127 North-South Senior Classic.
The Jackson Area Senior All-Stars will face the Lansing Area Senior All-Stars in this new event, girls game at 2 p.m. and boys at 4 p.m.
"I wanted to host an all-star game for many reasons," said Steven Finamore, coach of JCC's men's basketball team, who is organizing with Andrew Hoaglin, JCC women's basketball coach. "One being giving something back to the game. Two, many players from these two areas don't get a chance to play in an all-star game. Third, it would be nice to begin a friendly rivalry between the players who are so close in terms of proximity."
A selection committee of media members and former coaches has been formed to nominate 10 players for each team. A Most Valuable Player (MVP) from both teams will be selected at the conclusion of the games. Local sponsors will provide shirts for the players.
Admission is free and the public is invited to this all-star event.

When you think about it, you probably have a personal
symbolism—objects or colors or landscape features that hold special meaning for
you. These ideas can develop from our personal experiences, our culture, or books
we've read.
We all recognize fantasy
images of superheroes, for instance, because they are the figures who are
biggest, tallest, and strongest...and because they often wear a cape. These sorts
of recognizable symbols have their place, but I think artists of fantasy
pictures often do their work a disservice by being too didactic with their
Personal symbolism can come into play no matter what kind of
painting or drawing you create, but most of all it raises our awareness about
the many things that objects, colors, and textures can communicate to viewers,
which every artist should try to be aware of. In the DVD Acrylic Painting: Scenes From the City, I discovered that using
unexpected colors in a painting or depicting figures in an otherwise empty
cityscape can have a great deal of impact. It's up to us to decide what our
personal symbols are and how to apply them to get the effects we want in our
artwork. John K. Harrell does that to great effect in Acrylic Painting: Scenes From the City, and it is a lesson worth
learning. And because today is a very special day—12.12.12—we are offering 12 products for $12.12, including Scenes From the City. Enjoy!

Ringling Brothers Circus
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2015)
|Ringling Brothers Circus
Poster for Ringling Brothers, ca. 1899
The Ringling brothers depicted in the upper left corner
|Circus name
|Ringling Brothers Circus
|United States
|The Ringling Brothers
|Year founded
The Ringling Brothers Circus was a circus founded in the United States in 1884 by five of the seven Ringling Brothers: Albert (1852–1916), August (1854–1907), Otto (1858–1911), Alfred T. (1862–1919), Charles (1863–1926), John (1866–1936), and Henry (1869–1918). In 1907 it acquired the Barnum & Bailey Circus, merging them in 1919 to become Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, promoted as The Greatest Show on Earth.
In 1882, before the Ringling Brothers created their first circus, the 5 brothers performed skits and juggling routines in town halls around the state of Wisconsin. They called this the "Ringling Brothers' Classic and Comic Concert Company" and used the money earned for suits. The Ringling Brothers Circus began their first circus in 1884 in Baraboo, Wisconsin and united with a famous showman named Yankee Robinson. Using the title "Yankee Robinson and Ringling Brothers", the Ringling Bros. and Yankee Robinson went through the midwest performing their one ring circus. The season went well for the Ringling Brothers, but unfortunately, Yankee Robinson died in Jefferson, Iowa on September 4th, 1884, before the circus season ended.
By the late 1880s, however, the circus had established itself as one of the largest and best-run[peacock term] circuses in the country. Each of the brothers had their own jobs to do each day: Alfred publicized the circus, Gus arranged advertising, placing posters of animals and bright colors several days before the circus came, Al picked the acts, Charles produced the show, Otto was the treasurer, and John supervised transportation. Even though some jobs may have been harder than others, the Ringlings always split the money they earned equally. When they ran another circus season in 1887, true to the typical hyperbole of the day, the official title of the circus was called "Ringling Brothers United Monster Shows, Great Double Circus, Royal European Menagerie, Museum, Caravan, and Congress of Trained Animals".
In 1889 two of the Ringlings went to Philadelphia where they purchased railroad cars and parade equipment from Adam Forepaugh, a venerable showman with a show on the road since 1864. With this change in transportation the circus was no longer limited to moving only 15 to 20 miles a night, and could now skip the really small towns that contained a limited audience in order to play larger towns day after day, therefore, greatly increasing the average revenue.
In 1907 the brothers purchased the Barnum & Bailey Circus and ran the two circuses separately until they merged them into one unit in 1919, when they also moved the winter quarters to Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Polio may be gone, but
its impact on lives continues.
It is a little known fact that people who experienced the devastating effects of polio in their youth decades ago, can experience a return of the symptoms later in life.
The most common symptoms of the late effects of polio are:
- unaccustomed fatigue
- muscle weakness
- muscle and/or joint pain
- breathing or swallowing difficulties
- increased sensitivity to cold temperatures
- difficulty in sleeping
- a decline in the ability to perform basic daily activities.
Our Post Polio Networks throughout Queensland offer those dealing with the late effects of post polio a forum to share experiences and provide support.

Outgoing Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., in what was likely one of his last lengthy floor speeches, on Tuesday decried the exodus of moderates from the Senate and urged mainstream voters to reject extremism, the tea party and the ideological purity tests of Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.
"The partisanship has reached such a high level and comity such a low level, that there is not even the pretense of negotiation or compromise in almost all situations," Specter said.
Specter's take on Senate polarization tracks with statements by other outgoing senators, including Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., Evan Bayh, D-Ind., and George Voinovich, R-Ohio.
Specter, who while a Republican was a top target of conservative purists such as the Club for Growth and made his reciprocal enmity clear, has previously faulted ideologues for the decline of Senate bipartisanship.
But the remarks were Specter's most extensive on electoral politics and what he said is the pernicious effect of extreme partisanship on the Senate since his loss this year in a Democratic primary to Rep. Joe Sestak, a defeat that followed Specter's decision to switch parties last year after concluding he could not survive a GOP primary challenge by former Rep. Pat Toomey, R-Pa.
Though he has been a reliable Democratic vote since switching parties, Specter seemed to speak Tuesday from the perspective of a moderate Republican.
He noted that the GOP moderate luncheon club he joined in 1980 had 18 members but by 2009 was down to himself and Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins.
Without mentioning DeMint by name, Specter faulted the South Carolinian's statement that he would prefer "30 Marco Rubios" -- a conservative seeking the seat held by Sen. George LeMieux, R-Fla. -- "than 50 Arlen Specters."
Though DeMint has often irked GOP colleagues and is not close to Republican leaders, Specter called such views "the prevailing Republican motto."
Specter cited the 2006 primary loss of Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., as example of ideological purging on the left but otherwise focused on the conservative dogmatism he blamed for losses by Sens. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rep. Michael Castle, R-Del., in recent GOP senatorial primaries.
He said tea party activists do not represent all of America or even a majority of Republicans.
"Moderates and some conservatives have fallen like flies at the hands of the extremists in both parties," said Specter.
He did not offer an explanation for the trend. But he argued Bennett had been unfairly ousted by Utah Republicans largely over his backing for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
Pointing to the $800 billion stimulus bill passed last year, Specter, who while still a Republican, joined with Snowe and Collins backing the final version of the bill, said "pressure to toe the party line was tremendous -- the strongest I've seen in my 29-year tenure. The risk of retribution was enormous."
Asked about pressure from GOP leadership to oppose the bill, Collins said it was substantial but that they did not threaten retribution.
Voinovich, who participated in talks over the bill before dropping out, said it is "not true at all," that Republicans faced unusual pressure to vote with leadership. Still, Voinovich has also made clear his disdain for the large amount of partisan politics in the everyday work of the Senate.
Bennett, while distancing himself from Specter's criticism of other Republicans, said he generally agreed on the danger purity tests pose for legislation.
Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a conservative Democrat, who himself has appeared to hew right this year amid home-state attacks on his support for the healthcare overhaul bill, said he expected that Republicans concerned about primary challenges in 2012 would make legislating hard next year regardless of the Senate breakdown.
"I'm not sure what can get done if it's 52-48, or 56-44, because of the polarization," Nelson said.
