Briere says after Flyers' buyout announcement that Philadelphia 'is my home'
Jun 20, 2013, 6:45 PM EDT
Thursday was an emotional day for Danny Briere.
The Philadelphia Flyers organization has made it clear that it will use one of its compliance buyouts on Briere, who was in the midst of an eight-year, $52 million contract.
Briere, who scored six goals and had 16 points in 34 regular season games this year, later responded the club's decision.
"This is my home," Briere said, as per CSN Philadelphia. "Wherever I'm going to end up, the kids are staying here, and I'm coming back here. Yeah, this is my home. This is what we consider home now."
Briere, 35, will soon be made an unrestricted free agent, which poses a number of different options and opportunities for him to ponder.
"There's a lot of things that we will have to consider," he said.
"Obviously, the kids [are] an issue. We'll have to consider also if it's a team that has a chance to win a Stanley Cup or not, a team that might have a role for me or not. Those are all questions that at this point I don't really know, and I don't know which one's going to take over."
Early indication is that he'll have plenty of interest from other NHL clubs.
According to TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger, 15 or more teams are believed to have interest in Briere once he becomes a UFA.

Should have stayed in Buffalo. Both ex co-captains Drury and Briere's careers took nose dives once they left the Sabres for more money.
They've been the 2 key centers we've been missing the last 5 years too.
- bcisleman - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:10 PM
Drury maybe, but Briere has been very good for Philly until this year.
- isithockeyseasonyet - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:20 PM
Should have stayed in buffalo? lol nobody wants to stay in buffalo
- zetaone - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:25 PM
Except for the fact that they both posted career stats while in Buffalo, who with their services, made it to the conference finals two years in a row including a president's trophy. The team would have only gotten better.. but everyone left because of the almighty $$ Tom Golisano didn't want to fork out the money for them.
- biasedhomer - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:53 PM
Briere has been over PPG in the playoffs with the Flyers, he has been a key member of the team even after his career year with the Sabres, especially during the Cup run. He has raised him family here, and loves the area. He will likely be offered a position on the team after retiring, since the Flyers take care guys like Briere after their playing career.
He made the right choice choosing Philly over
- biasedhomer - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:54 PM
- bcisleman - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:12 PM
Devils or Washington would seem ideal for Briere. Isles, NYR or Pens might work as well.
- isithockeyseasonyet - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:22 PM
I think Boston makes sense, I will miss briere but if 'philly is his home', he better not end up in pittsburgh
- zetaone - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:26 PM
And with what currency will the Penguins pay Briere with? Used socks? Pancakes? They are going to have a hard enough time signing everyone else they need to in the next 2 offseasons.
- hazlydose - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:42 PM
As a pens fan, I would love to have Briere, but there is no way they can give him enough money to win out on the free agency market.
- stakex - Jun 20, 2013 at 9:46 PM
To that point, the Pens have virtually NO cap space to spend in free agency…
- biasedhomer - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:58 PM
Washington would be perfect for him.
- blackfoot11 - Jun 21, 2013 at 9:25 AM
Agreed. He would be a good 2 yr option for the Caps as the 2nd Line Centerman, if they cant come to terms with Ribeiro. The wild card for the Caps in 2013-2014 is Kuznetsov joining the team following the Olympics/end of KHL season in Spring '14.
- titansbro - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:12 PM
Sorry, but at least he has the money. Not like he missed out on any cups from Buffalo.
- zetaone - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:28 PM
That's the point.. you don't know what could have been. The team was a bunch of kids in 06, surprised everybody.. Won the president's trophy in 07 with the same team.. Then everybody bolted for more $ similar to what happened to chicago after they won the cup.. except they recovered without missing a beat.
- seahawks19081 - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:52 PM
Stupid question here, but can he re-sign with the Flyers at a cheaper salary?
- biasedhomer - Jun 20, 2013 at 7:55 PM
No, teams can't resign a player they bought out
- dcal4282 - Jun 21, 2013 at 8:59 AM
There has to be 1 year in between the buyout and resigning with the club
- northstarnic - Jun 20, 2013 at 8:00 PM
- ray2013 - Jun 20, 2013 at 8:49 PM
Top dollar wins, or does he pick a team that has a good chance to win?
- tcclark - Jun 20, 2013 at 11:49 PM
money will have almost no factor. He's already getting his salary from philly. he just wants to be close to his kids. I'd put NYI, Bos, and Was at the top of the list of teams to expect him to go to.
- ray2013 - Jun 21, 2013 at 12:15 AM
You see players talk about wanting to win, then sign contracts with non-contenders, so I was curious to see where he'd sign. If his kids are the deciding factor then that changes the equation a lot.
- malkinrulez - Jun 20, 2013 at 9:11 PM
Again the question is does he want to win or get paid? I would love to see what he could with Pens , guy is money in the playoffs.
- kingsforever - Jun 20, 2013 at 9:38 PM
Kings for 1 Million
- stakex - Jun 20, 2013 at 10:08 PM
We know he isn't going to the Pens. They already have to figure out a way to keep all their players from last year and in the process patch up their defense and maybe even the goaltending. There is simply no cap space to waste $3-4 million on another depth forward they don't need. In fact, if you're a Pens fan don't expect too much of anything during free agency from the Pens. They just don't have cap space to play with.
So where does he go? I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with the Devils if they want him. Its as close to Philly as he can get, and after a poor showing last year the Devils will be looking to add a little fire power. They need some more depth to keep them afloat in the event Kovelchuk gets injured. When he was injured last year, they didn't have enough scoring to win. The Islanders and Washington are other possibilities since both teams could also use a little depth and have some cap space to play with. He probably won't end up with the Rangers due to a lack of cap space, and any other team will be too far from Philly… if hes serious about staying close to home.
- jpelle82 - Jun 21, 2013 at 11:11 AM
i see him in red next year, washington needs a guy like him…a playoff performer and a leader. if they let ribiero walk they would be fools to not make him an offer
- redridershoottheireyeout - Jun 20, 2013 at 10:37 PM
This isn't the same guy that left Buffalo, no way he commands close to the same kind of money.
- andyreidisfat - Jun 21, 2013 at 3:02 AM
This is a hard one for flyers fans. Danny b. has been a key player for the flyers for many years even if he hasn't been a big time regular season point totaled. I for one would love to see Danny sign a one year deal and then come back home on a end of the career lets win a cup type deal with the flyers again.
That won't happen, Danny will get a nice sized 2-3 deal, and bad for the flyers is that he will probably want to sign close to home to be with his kids. Wouldn't be shocked if Washington or boston took a chance on Danny.

Iran, its Neighbours and the Regional Crises
Chatham House Report
The report is produced by the Middle East Programme with significant contributions from other regional and thematic programmes at Chatham House.
This report seeks to shed light on what the regional crises - the Iranian nuclear dispute, the instability of Iraq, the Israel-Hizbullah conflict and the deteriorating situation in the West Bank and Gaza - illustrate about Iran's relations with its neighbours.
The following questions are examined:
- How strong is Iran's position and how is it shaped?
- What factors are motivating the alliances and positioning taking place between Iran and its neighbours in the Middle East and Asia?
- How do Iran's neighbours view its pursuit of nuclear technology?
- What reactions can be expected within the region if the US uses military force in attempting to control Iran's nuclear and regional ambitions?
Many in the West have failed to appreciate the complexities of Iran, its deep ties with its neighbours and its long-practised ability to influence its neighbourhood. The resolution of the many crises afflicting Iran's region will partly require an improvement in Iran's relations with the West through careful and patient diplomacy on both sides. Iran's intricate involvement in these crises and its selfconfidence means that confrontation carries serious risks.

Remember the (W.Va.) Titans
BARBOURSVILLE -- As the second year of the US Youth Soccer Region I Championships started in West Virginia, boys teams from the Mountain State were still in search of their first win as hosts.
That victory came early on Friday morning as the WVSC Elite Titans earned a hard-fought 2-1 win over Black Watch Premier (R.I.) in a U-16 Boys match on Field 6.
While a win for the state on the boys side was important to head coach Bob Gray, there was something a little more important in his mind following the match.
"What this means is that we still have our fate in our own hands," said Gray, who is also the Marshall men's soccer head coach. "We want to play and have it matter come Sunday."
Heading into the match, boys teams from West Virginia had gone 0-21-2 since Barboursville started hosting the tournament.
Tommy Trupo was a big reason that the streak came to an end with a goal and an assist to pace the Titans in the win.
Midway through the first half, Trupo bent a ball into the box off a set piece and the ball deflected perfectly to Trevor Starcher, who deposited it into the net for a 1-0 lead that the Titans took to intermission.
"We've all been together since we've been 8-years-old and it's all been preparing for this," Trupo said. "Trevor and I have been best friends since we were 8 and we know where each other is on the field. I played it to him and he put it right in."
Early in the second half, Trupo used his speed and skill to get around a Rhode Island defender and beat the goalkeeper to give WVSC Elite a 2-0 lead.
Both goals came in the opening stages of each half -- something Trupo said that Gray has emphasized leading to the tournament.
"Our coaches always tell us to get after it early and we did," Trupo said. "We came out in the first 10 minutes and got one off a set piece, which is critical, and the second half we got one in 10 minutes again. From there, we played more defensively and shut down their holes really well."
The lead seemed comfortable at the time, but that was not the case.
As time started to crunch, Rhode Island pushed forward and the Titans' defense bowed a little bit. Black Watch Premier got on the board with approximately 12 minutes remaining to set up an exciting finish.
The Rhode Island side continued to put pressure on, but WVSC Elite held off any further scoring chances to get the victory.
"I told the guys that they have to learn how to win -- how to manage the game when they are ahead," Gray said. "They think they are good enough, but they don't quite believe it fully yet, and it showed at the end in the last 10 minutes."
Trupo recalled the team's first contest last year when they played as U-15 Boys. The Titans led Herndon (Va.) 1-0 throughout the match, only to give up the tying goal late and settle for a 1-1 draw.
This time, there would be no such finish as the defense bent, but didn't break under the pressure to earn an important win on several levels for West Virginia soccer.
"It's so enlightening. Now you know you've won a game (at regionals), you can do anything," Trupo said. "We did this for the state of West Virginia. We have to win two more and we're going to move on."
The WVSC Elite Titans return to action at 8 a.m. on Saturday morning against Far Post Premier (Vt.) on Field 8 at the Barboursville Soccer Complex.

"How can you improve the world's number one fitness program?" is a reasonable question that I'm often asked when I tell people I've been working on its successor, P90X2™. As Hollywood has quite clearly shown, sequels rarely live up to the original. But once in a while something bucks the trend, and we're fairly certain we've made The Godfather: Part II and not Staying Alive. In this series of articles, we'll be giving you a rundown on what to expect from the next P90X®.
The working title of this project was MC2. That's for Muscle Confusion™ 2, and of course, there's going to be more of what made the original so special. But this time around, we're taking Muscle Confusion to a whole new level, maybe even times 2. To understand why requires a little bit of history.
P90X was developed to answer customer requests for a program more challenging than Power 90® and Slim in 6®, Beachbody's original blockbusters. So we set out to make the type of training program that an athlete would use to prepare for a season, except the sport we chose was life in general. Combining the theories of cross-training, progressive overload, periodization, and the specificity of adaptation, we began a series of test groups to try and estimate the tolerance of difficulty that general public could handle, or more appropriately, would want to.
Turns out this was more that we knew at the time—though the fact that we cast test group subjects because they outperformed professional fitness trainers should have given us a clue. The program was so advanced that many professional athletes began using P90X instead of their own team trainers. This we hadn't anticipated. We knew we had a solid program, absolutely, but we didn't count on athletes who make millions of dollars a year ignoring highly paid professionals and working out to a video. If we had we might have done things a little differently.
Knowing that the world was watching, we began P90X2 development by searching for a consultant. We traveled as high up the food chain as possible, where we found Dr. Marcus Elliott. His training facility, P3 (Peak Performance Project), is at the absolutely cutting edge of sport. Using the latest in equipment and applied science, P3's client list reads like, well, the front page of the sports section. Dr. Elliott signed on as head of our Scientific Advisory Board, ensuring we had the means to raise the bar.
That's not to say we weren't already succeeding. Anyone who ordered the P90X ONE on ONE® workouts could see we'd been experimenting with many new training modalities. Tony's newfound love of training on unstable platforms, honed by his relationship with functional trainer Steve Holmson, became, literally, the foundation of P90X2.
Access to P3 and Dr. Elliott also provided challenges. Because our customers are not primarily athletes, we needed to do a lot of homework to determine how to best integrate P3's elite systems into our demographic. Research was done, numbers crunched, theories were applied and tested, and test pilots (often yours truly) were beaten into submission. In the end, the collaboration resulted in a program that we think improved on our wildest expectations.
While it's still based around the periodizational principles of P90X, X2 has a broader scope. In short, it's more versatile, which is saying something, considering that P90X is by far the most versatile training program on the market today. Here are the 3 training phases of P90X2 and what you can expect from them.
In conclusion, we think we've created an "Oscar winner." P90X2 is a training program anyone with a decent fitness base can succeed at. It can be done by someone who has only completed one round of Power 90 and still be challenging to the world's best athletes. It's versatile enough so anyone who sees it through to its end can achieve major increases in performance. And while it won't replace P90X (or make it feel dated as The Godfather), it should absolutely take your results to the next level.

During my 1970s childhood in South Dakota, my mom used to order something called the "Diet Plate." Common in most Sioux Falls-area and greater-Minnesota region restaurants, it consisted of a scoop of cottage cheese, a couple of canned peach halves still dripping syrup, a hamburger patty, some iceberg lettuce, and a sprig of parsley.
While delicious by mid-20th century Midwestern standards, it wasn't nearly as calorie-restrictive as you'd think compared to the chicken-fried steak and baked potato my dad was eating across the table. Still, the perception was that this was diet food, most likely because each element in the Diet Plate had a vague resemblance to another healthier foodstuff (except the hamburger, that is). But that had to be there because this was South Dakota, and any other meat would be deemed un-American.
Today, it'd be nice to think we've transcended the Diet Plate. Sadly, this isn't the case. Even today, there are dozens of foods we fool ourselves into thinking are healthful, when in truth they do nothing but pad our hips and arteries. Here are 9 of the worst offenders on your grocery store shelves.

Power 90® broke the mold. P90X® pushed the envelope. And soon, P90X2™ will shatter the mold, crush the envelope, and ignite a sports science revolution. Here's a first look at the future of fitness.
Here's a delicious dish that's relatively quick and easy to prepare. The exotic curry and coconut milk give a zing to your palate, the chicken delivers a wallop of protein, and the julienned carrots bring a dash of color to delight your eyes.
Combine water, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 1/4 tsp. of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, gradually stir in couscous, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove cover and fluff with fork. Combine flour, curry powder, and remaining 1-1/4 tsp. of salt in a ziplock bag. Add chicken, seal, and toss gently to coat. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Stir in carrots, raisins, and remaining 3-1/2 cups coconut milk; reduce heat and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Serve 3/4 cup curry over 1/2 cup couscous per serving and garnish each with cilantro. Makes 8 servings.

Australian didgeridoo-and-percussion maestro James Asher has always been focused on movement—of people, tectonic plates, clouds, the whole revolving world—as testified by the muscular figures in funky lockstep on his album covers. With Colors of Trance, Asher has two great ideas that he merges together beautifully. The first is to use his global music palette to reproduce the frenzied sounds of trance; nothing exactly new for Asher, but unique in its focus and in the natural vibe he brings to the music (as most trance makes no bones about the synthetic, electronic nature of its beats). The second idea is to bring in the acclaimed classical harpist Madeleine Doherty to play on the tracks. A restrained virtuoso with taste and peerless tonality, her contribution is what moves this into the realm of great collaborative-fusion art. With the concert-quality harp in action against Asher's frenetic armies of koto drums, Chinese zithers, didgeridoos, and funky beats, Colors of Trance skids and slithers around the globe until it's crisscrossed enough to resemble the inside of some cosmic tennis ball.
Each track is given a color name, and the opener "Olive" kicks things off with a jam that restlessly moves across the Eurasian continent in its style and instrumentation, never losing its basic, hard-driving techno beat. "Yellow" is much cheerier and more mellow. "Gold" is where the trance element shines brightest, with a frenetic beat that will be instantly familiar to dance-club mavens although the swirling harp notes and calming guitars may be a bit of a surprise.
After all that dancing, the sudden emergence into pure ambient weirdness may be just what the doctors ordered, but even they won't be able to believe their ears. "Emerald" zips and drops in and out with a found sound-collage of electronic-frequency knob twiddling, Gregorian monk echoes, and pulsating synthesizers, while Doherty's harp swirls around like a fairy spreading pixie dust on everyone's eyes. So the album goes, flowing into furious dancing and dreaming and taking off into profound states of rest. The closer, "Peace Song," leaves things on a sweet farewell note, with Doherty's gentle harp and voice singing a gentle lullaby in a dizzying, sweet high soprano: "Peace I bring you / Only peace to you." By then you should be so sweetly exhausted that you will have no choice but to accept this rare and precious gift, peace. Asher brings you up through the roots, and Doherty helps you open your petals to the sunshine.

Boeing today confirmed that installation of reinforcements within the side-of-body section on the 787 is complete.
The modification entails installing new fittings at 34 stringer locations within the join where the wing attaches to the fuselage.
On 23 June Boeing announced its discovery that the upper stringers of the wing-to-body join were not strong enough to meet FAA certification requirements for static strength, which pushed first flight beyond a previously-targeted date for the close of the second quarter.
Boeing now says it expects to complete the installation on the static test airframe and the second fight-test aircraft in the coming days.
"Completing this work is a significant step toward first flight. We continue to be pleased with the progress of the team and remain confident the first flight of the 787 Dreamliner will occur before the end of the year," says Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the 787 program. "We will test the modification on the full-scale static test airframe later this month. As soon as we confirm the loads are being handled appropriately in the joint we will complete preflight activities on the airplane."
Once Boeing completes the modification on the static test airframe, the aircraft will be refitted with strain gauges and instrumentation required for testing. Additionally, access doors, systems, seals and fasteners removed from airplane one to provide access for the wing-to-body join fix are being restored to prepare for continued testing on the aircraft.
Boeing says it is continuing to install the fittings on the fatigue test airframe and the remaining flight test aircraft.
Once aircraft one is restored the flight test team plans to conclude another set of gauntlet and taxi tests to ensure the systems are ready for flight.
ATI first reported on 11 November that the wing fix was complete, and test schedules show a first flight target of late December.

The state will buy the new cars over the next several months, and they're expected to be in use in July.
The Illinois State Police have said the average state patrol car has 122,000 miles on it, about 40,000 miles more than is recommended for state police fleets.
As a result, the high-mileage cars are breaking down, keeping troopers from responding quickly to accidents and costing millions of dollars annually in repairs.
Blagojevich's office says more than $15 million has been made available to purchase the cars through a capital appropriation.
After the cars are purchased, they'll be outfitted with emergency lights, radios, video cameras and new computers.

Admission is free to all active-duty military personnel and veterans, who are encouraged to wear their uniforms. For all others, admission is $12 for adults and $8 for children 12 and under.
Warren County Historian Ann McCann said this week the concert will also pay tribute to the county's bicentennial, as it features historical narratives highlighting county history from the Revolutionary War to the present day.
Special bicentennial memorabilia — books and pins — will be available at no charge, while supplies last, to veterans and military personnel.
Band publicist Dale Perry said that the band members were pleased to bring raise awareness about county history as well as recognize those who have served out nation.
"We'll be paying homage to veterans of all wars for their patriotism and willingness to serve in the military and sacrifice for our country," he said in a prepared statement. The patriotic music is to include some familiar period music as well as pieces depicting famous historical events.
In addition to honoring veterans and service personnel and highlighting county history, the concert draws attention to the 10th anniversary of the Lake George Community Band, which had its first public performance in the 2003 for the centennial celebration of Lake George Village of Lake George.
Consisting of more than 65 volunteer musicians, the community band performs a series of summer concerts in Lake George's Shepard Park, as well as several concerts annually in the Wood Theater in Glens Falls. It also hosts an annual festival of community bands — which draws noted musical groups from Canada as well as the U.S..

Hello All! There's actually not too much going on with my life right now. Lots of meetings and class and homework and stuff to do.
This past weekend was the Superbowl, and I have to say, I wasn't too impressed. The rumored Destiny's Child Reunion only lasted for about half a song, and then there was the whole lights fiasco. It gave the commentators an excuse to say the same thing and play the same replays over and over for a half hour. Way to go, New Orleans, way to go.
On the bright side, I went to my boyfriend's house to watch the game and his mom made us jambalaya, which was delicious. And I got to watch the Puppy Bowl, which may have been a better run game and much, much cuter than the actual Superbowl itself. I mean, who doesn't love watching puppies run around and tackle each other?
No one, that's who.

Composition can make an interesting subject bland or make an ordinary subject appear beautiful. In this course, photographer and author Ben Long explores the concepts of composition, from basics such as the rule of thirds to more advanced topics such as the way the eye travels through a photo.
The course addresses how the camera differs from the eye and introduces composition fundamentals, such as balance and point of view. Ben also examines the importance of geometry, light, and color in composition, and looks at how composition can be improved with a variety of post-production techniques. Interspersed throughout the course are workshop sessions that capture the creative energy of a group of photography students; shooting assignments and exercises; and analyses of the work of photographers Paul Taggart and Connie Imboden.
One of the trickiest things about exercising and developing your sense of seeing is that you actually use your eyes all day long for other things. You spend your days looking, so trying to get to that next step of seeing can be complicated because there is not really a physically different thing that you can do. I think the best way to learn to see better is experience, and obviously that means practice, but it also means knowing what it feels like when you're really seeing. If you can force yourself into a position of seeing and pay attention to what that feels like then you'll likely have an easier time getting back into that space, or at least recognizing when you're in it or out of it.
Now there are a couple of curious exercises that you can do that, in my experience, will put you into a place of seeing. They will deactivate your brain's assumptions about what's before you and allow you to actually see what's before you. First one is pretty simple. Sometime when you're out walking down the street fix your eyes forward in the distance and don't move them. Choose something off to the side and try to discern as much detail on that thing as you can without actually turning your eyes to look at it. In other words, use only your peripheral vision.
Now as you continue to walk forward towards the subject, it will move further into your periphery, but keep trying to see as much detail on it as you can. When you finally get up to that thing, take a look at it for real. Look at it directly and feel free to move your eyes about it and study it. You'll probably find that details on it really pop and appear distinct, that you really notice things, that maybe when you get up there you'll think, wow, I hadn't noticed before that it's got this texture on it or these screws in it or whatnot. At that point you're really seeing. You have gotten your brain to get out of the way and let you see what's really there.
Now this next one is a little weirder, and it can be embarrassing. You probably want to do this one by yourself. Sometime just in your house, in your room, wherever, walk around the room, spend about five minutes doing this. Point at things and name them the wrong thing, and I mean speak the name out loud, so you might point at something and say, hammer, point at another thing and say blender, and it's not a hammerer or a blender. Don't worry about what names you're saying. You're going to go through categories of objects. You'll get stuck in kitchen appliances and farm animals and things like that. Don't worry about that.
Do that for about five minutes, stop, and then look around the room. You will probably have a very different visual experience of the room. Some people think that they see depth more clearly. Personally, I feel like I see outlines around everything. I don't know why that happens. I think that what's going on is your brain is making an assumption about something. When you name it the wrong thing, it's kind of having to go back and look at it again, and then you're into a really strong seeing space. Another very simple exercise you can do is simply sit down and draw something that's in front of you. Drawing puts you into a very intense visual space, and very often if you just spend five or ten minutes doing that before you go out shooting, you're going to find that you're really more cognizant of depth and line and many of the other compositional techniques that we'll be looking at.
Seeing is something you're going to practice for the rest of your life, and again if you can get into a space of knowing what it feels like, it's going to be easier to find your way back there later.

Geowoodstock IX
In less than 24hrs I start my journey down to Geowoodstock, will I see you there?
I attended last year and had a blast. I hope this year is as much fun. Will cache on my way down tomorrow and spend Friday caching in the area. Saturday at the event, I hope to meet some friends that I've only chatted with online. Drop me an email if you are going to be there.
Happy Caching, even if you aren't coming to Geowoodstock, enjoy the long weekend!
Garmin Launches GPSMAP 62sc
The folks at Garmin have been busy. Garmin just introduced four new product improvements to the mix. There are new etrex, Astro, Rino and 62 series models. The 62sc is of most interest to me as it has a built in camera. Having just upgraded to the 62s it will be a while before I change units.
I've had some experience with the eXplorist 610 which has a built in camera and it is a very handy feature to have. Most people that use smart phones for geocaching are used to taking pictures in the field. Some geocaching apps even allow you to log and upload your photos from the field, talk about instant gratification.
Having your pictures automatically geotagged is time saver. Something I really like about having a camera built in to a GPS is the fact that you get a weatherproof camera as a bonus. I was out shooting pictures the other night and the heavens opened with a torrential downpour. I was soaked. I acted quickly and put my camera gear away. If I was geocaching at the time I wouldn't have had to worry.
I don't know if the addition of a camera will get many people to upgrade. I know I won't be inducing me to change any time soon.
The Aliens are Back
It would appear that ET phoned home and his friends are back with reinforcements! This time there will be 1500 geocaches. Can it be true?
There is an event scheduled that seems to indicate that the ET highway is back.
Alien Search Party – The 2nd Invasion!
I love the idea that geocaching can be an important part of the local economy I just wish the caches were a little more interesting. Everyone plays the game differently I guess.
There could have been a movie tie in here with Aliens and Cowboys coming out soon.
How To Use FireTacks
I have posted a FireTacks Usage Tutorial over on the Cache At Night blog. It seemed to make more sense to post it there. The tutorial offers tips on where to place FireTacks. Of special note is the safe implications of taking people of the trail using FireTacks.

Coach Wojo quickly putting his stamp on Marquette
JUN 13, 2014 11:45a ET
MILWAUKEE -- Steve Wojciechowski has only been on the job for a little over two months, but Marquette University's new men's basketball coach's stamp is already all over the program.
After being hired April 1, Wojciechowski was allotted just a small period of time to work with his new players, using the vast majority of the time allotted to him to get to know the nine who were left on the roster.
Marquette recently begun its eight-week summer session, as NCAA rules allow basketball coaches to spend eight hours per week -- with only two hours allowed for on-court skills training -- with their players.
"It's been terrific," Wojciecowski said of his first 60 days at Marquette. "Obviously I had high expectations coming here and ultimate belief in the program and the school when I took the job. I think that has only grown since I've been here. It's a special place with special people.
"The kids who are in the program right now have embraced my staff and I and the way we want to try to do thing. I've been impressed with their capacity to work. I've been impressed with their willingness to embrace change. And the excitement and enthusiasm has been terrific."
Returners Duane Wilson, John Dawson, Todd Mayo, Juan Anderson, Derrick Wilson, Jajuan Johnson, Steve Taylor Jr., Deonte Burton and Luke Fischer are all enrolled in summer school and thus able to participate in the summer sessions.
Senior transfer Matt Carlino and incoming freshman Sandy Cohen will join the Golden Eagles for the second four-week summer session, which will coincide with the second session of summer school at Marquette.
Wojciechowski plans on focusing on individual player skill sets in the first session before shifting to beginning to implement his system in the second session.
"(We're) trying to build a skill set, a fundamental base that they'll need to have to play the style we want to play," Wojciechowski said. "In addition to that, though, the additional benefit is you get to really get to know a guy when he's on the floor. I've always found that the best way to develop a relationship with a player is working with them on the court, being hands on, trying to teach them."
As of now, Marquette's roster stands at 11, meaning the Golden Eagles have two open scholarships for next season. While he didn't rule out adding a late transfer or even a walk-on, Wojciechowski said he is comfortable moving forward with the roster as it stands.
Cohen is currently the only incoming freshman, as the rest of Buzz Williams' recruiting class opted not to attend Marquette. Guard Ahmed Hill and center Satchel Pierce followed Williams to Virginia Tech, while guard Marial Shayok flipped his commitment to Virginia and forward Malek Harris signed with Kansas State.
"To be honest with you, I only want guys who want to be at Marquette," Wojciechowski said. "To me, I think it's an honor to wear the Marquette jersey, so if I have to twist your arm or trick you or promise you stuff to put that jersey on, then I don't believe that's the right fit.
"There's enough kids around the United States who recognize the Marquette brand, both as a university and as a basketball program, as a place that they can bet better and they can get better as person and get better as a player."
Wojciechowski has already had to defend the program after a story published by ESPN.com listed Marquette -- along with Clemson, Boston College, UNLV, Florida State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Rutgers -- as one of the eight "bad coaching jobs" in college basketball.
"To me I think it's laughable," Wojciechowski said. "Marquette is an incredibly special place. I mean, I'm at a university where I can offer the kids who are here the best of all words. You come to Marquette you can get a first class education, a degree that means something no matter where you go in the world, a community that's ultimately supportive of the students here, especially student-athletes there. And you have a chance to play elite level basketball. And so, when you're thinking about the criteria of big time programs, Marquette first every criteria. And really, an argument against that, is not a very good one.
"I mean, this program has stood the test of time. It is one of the historic programs in college basketball. It's a program that year in and year out makes an amazing commitment to its basketball program. Its basketball program is part of the fabric of the university. There's been successful coaches, players, teams, it has all the characteristics and the identity of a big time program. And if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. And that's why I'm so excited to put my Marquette shirt on every morning.
"So, you know what, again, everybody's got their opinion. But there has not been one coach, one person, that I've come in contact with who has told me anything less than Marquette is a great job. And after having been here for two months, there's no doubt in my mind that it is."

Remarks by Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England
Bosnia and Herzegovina Armed Forces Day
Bosnian Embassy
Washington, DC
30 November 2006
Thanks you….My good friend, Bisera, Colonel Sinisa … Distinguished Guests…
Good evening! It is a privilege and honor to join you this evening to celebrate Bosnia and Herzegovina's Armed Forces Day!
To the leadership, to the Armed Forces, to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina – warmest congratulations on the Riga Summit invitation to join NATO's Partnership for Peace program! This is a most welcome recognition of remarkable progress to date.
This month also marks the 11th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords – the landmark negotiations that gave birth to the modern state of Bosnia and Herzegovina – and introduced full sovereignty, peace, reconciliation, and great hope for the future.
The Ambassador has just described the progress of Bosnia and Herzegovina's defense reform so far – and it is an extraordinary success story! The country is now blessed with a single, unified Ministry of Defense and a single Unified Armed Forces under full civilian control, and progress is being made toward a truly integrated force structure.
The greatest challenge for Bosnia's newly elected leaders will be to consolidate these important transformations. Bosnia and Herzegovina has made a great start – but there is still a lot of hard work ahead, and it is important to keep up the momentum.
In the United States, it was the American Armed Forces that boldly led the way to integration – and laid the groundwork for giving Americans of all ethnic backgrounds and in all walks of life equal access and opportunity. Today, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Unified Armed Forces are also leading the way toward integration – including providing the nation's first national holiday!
For a country so recently in crisis, Bosnia has made an extraordinary transition - from being a "consumer" of security to being a "provider" of security. That ability – and that willingness – could not possibly come at a better time.
Today, America and her friends and allies face a much broader array of security challenges than ever before, including terrorists determined to destroy our very way of life. No individual nation can meet these challenges alone.
The United States is proud to claim Bosnia and Herzegovina as a partner in meeting our shared threats and in standing for freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Let me assure you – America remains committed to an on-going, long-term partnership. Though it changes in character, it will only grow in strength, as we move toward a more traditional bilateral military relationship – like those America enjoys with other NATO aspirant countries in Europe.
It has been delightful, working with the leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including our counterparts, the Minister of Defense and Chief of Defense. The Department of Defense looks forward to continuing those personal relationships.
And I am grateful to enjoy such a warm personal relationship with the Ambassador. In addition to business matters, Bisera and I have shared dinners, barge cruises, and an iftar celebrating the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Bisera – thank you for this friendship and partnership!
On this day of celebration, congratulations to the members of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the nation's people and leadership!
To all of you – for your friendship and partnership, now and in the future – "Hvala!" Thank you for everything you do, every day, in the name of freedom and liberty, to leave a more peaceful and prosperous world for our children and grandchildren.

Preakness day itself is an odd one. Where else are you going to simultaneously hear one crowd cheer for Grammy Award winner Lorde perform her hit song "Royals" in the infield while another one cheers home the winner of the Sir Barton Stakes presented by Jagermeister?
The fact a race named for the first Triple Crown winner is sponsored by an alcohol company pretty much sums up the day. In many ways, it is sensory overload simply because it is two different worlds partying in the same space. For all the separation between the two, though, they all come together to cheer home the Preakness winner.
The difference in mood leaving Pimlico when the Triple Crown is still on the line versus when it is not is vast. Last year, when Oxbow defeated Derby winner Orb in the Preakness, it was like a balloon had been popped. This year, everyone is all smiles, and why not?
California Chrome and his connections are the feel-good story the sport needs. I have said it before, and I will say it again: A Triple Crown won't save racing, but it definitely couldn't hurt, either.
For three weeks more, we all get to dream, and it is courtesy of a colt named California Chrome.

Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid is a graphic representation of A Pattern for Daily Food Choices, a food guide that was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 1980s. Food guides are tools designed to help people select healthful diets. The USDA has been developing food guides since 1916, and recommendations have changed over the years due to emerging knowledge about nutrient needs and the relationships between diet and health, changing economic conditions (such as the Great Depression in the 1930s), and changing lifestyles.
A Pattern for Daily Food Choices replaced the Basic Four food guide which was the centerpiece of nutrition education in the United States for over twenty years. The new food guide was not widely used in nutrition education until the USDA released The Food Guide Pyramid in 1992. Since that time, nutrition educators, dietitians, and teachers have used the Pyramid and accompanying educational materials to teach people how to select foods to build healthful diets. The Pyramid is also a familiar feature on food labels, where it is used by food manufacturers to show where foods fit into the food groups that make up the Pyramid.
Design and Recommendations of The Food Guide Pyramid
USDA nutritionists spent many years designing, testing, and refining the Food Guide Pyramid. The goal was to have an easy-to-use graphic that would help people select a diet that promoted nutritional health and decreased the risk of disease. They designed the Pyramid to be flexible enough to be used by most healthy Americans over the age of two. However, they also recognized that people with substantially different eating habits, such as vegetarians, may need a different food guidance system.
The Pyramid includes five major food groups, each of which provides nutrients needed for good health. By making healthful choices within these food groups, like selecting low-fat and high-fiber foods, people can promote good health and reduce their risk of disease. The placement of foods within the Pyramid shows that foods of plant origin should supply most of the servings of food in the daily diet.
The Breads, Cereals, Rice, and Pasta Group forms the base of the Pyramid, with the largest number of servings recommended (six to eleven servings recommended daily). The next layer up includes the Fruit Group (two to four servings) and the Vegetable Group (three to five servings). At the third level are the Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese Group (two to three servings) and the Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts Group (two to three servings). At the tip of the Pyramid are Fats, Oils, and Sweets. These foods and food ingredients should be used "sparingly" to avoid excess calories and/or fat. It is not necessary to completely avoid foods such as salad dressing, butter, margarine, candy, soft drinks, and sweet desserts, but they should be consumed infrequently.
The Pyramid includes symbols that represent the fats and added sugars found in foods. These are most concentrated at the tip of the Pyramid, but are also found in foods from the five major food groups. This reveals that some foods within the five food groups are high in fat and/or sugar. People can limit their fat and sugar intake, as suggested by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, by selecting foods low in fat and added sugars most of the time.
Uses of the Food Guide Pyramid
Individuals can use the Pyramid educational materials to plan a diet that contains all needed nutrients and is moderate in fat and saturated fat. This is important in the United States, where the major causes of death, such as heart disease, are related to diets high in fat, especially saturated fat. Obesity is also a major health concern in the United States. Although physical activity is a critical component of weight management, food intake also plays a role in energy balance. The Food Guide Pyramid educational materials provide serving sizes and a recommended number of servings for people of different ages and activity levels. This guide can help people learn to eat reasonable amounts of food in a country where large portion sizes are the norm.
Development of Alternative Pyramids
Some nutrition and health professionals disagree with the dietary recommendations of the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid. Critics of the Pyramid have expressed various concerns. Some believe that the food guide does not go far enough in emphasizing plant-food consumption, and that there is an overemphasis on foods of animal origin. Another concern is the inclusion of foods that are high in fats and/or sugars within the basic five food groups, which may lead people to maintain high fat and calorie intake. Others have indicated that the Pyramid is not appropriate for use with various ethnic and cultural groups, although this fact was recognized by the nutritionists who developed the Pyramid.
One alternative pyramid is the Traditional Healthy Mediterranean Diet Pyramid, developed by the Oldways Preservation and Exchange Trust in cooperation with Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health
The Food Guide Pyramid, last updated in 1992, could be revised for release in 2005. Proposed changes would include more recent nutritional recommendations and may be tailored to specific ages and activity levels to help reverse the nation's trend toward obesity.
Pyramids targeting specific ethnic groups have been developed by a variety of organizations. They include Latin American, Puerto Rican, Asian, Vietnamese, soul food, and vegetarian pyramids, among others. As information emerged about the nutritional needs of older people, the need for a food guide targeted to this growing population became clear. In 1999, nutritionists at Tufts University developed a prototype of a pyramid targeted to persons seventy years of age and older. Several other pyramids for older adults have been developed at other universities since that time. To meet the needs of children, the USDA released the Food Pyramid Guide for Young Children in 1999.
The USDA Food Guide Pyramid reflects a food guide that was designed to meet the nutritional needs, and to promote long-term health, of Americans over the age of two. It supports the goals of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which are designed to promote healthy lifestyles and to reduce health risks. The messages of the Food Guide Pyramid are most effective when accompanied by nutrition education to help people make healthful choices from the five food groups.

Labia minora reduction (Labioplasty, Labiaplasty)
Labia minora enlargement is usually congenital in origin. It may appear in childhood but becomes more obvious in adolescence. Occasionally, a woman will state that her labia minora increased with pregnancy, birth control pills, aging, or male hormone supplements. Ideally, the woman wants thin, straight, light-colored, non-redundant, symmetrical labia minora.
Traditionally, labia minora reduction has been performed by trimming the protruding labia along the entire labial edges. The trimming is performed using a scissor, knife, clamp, or laser. This procedure has the advantages of eliminating some of the dark pigmentation disliked by some women and the short operative time. However, the disadvantages are elimination of the natural labial edge which is replaced by an incision line and oftentimes a wide, irregular scar; difficulty making symmetrical labia; an often unnatural transition between the labium, clitoral frenulum, and clitoral hood; the possibility for over-removal of the labia; and the potential for a higher incidence of postoperative and chronic discomfort from irritation of the scar-line. Because of the disadvantages, the extended central wedge technique was developed which may also include partial reduction of the clitoral hood.
The central wedge labia reduction with extended clitoral hood resection ("Alter technique") was developed in response to the issues of the trimming labioplasty. A wedge or "V" is excised from the most protuberant portion of each labium. Since the labia are often asymmetrical, the amount of the wedge removed is varied to achieve symmetry. The top of the wound is then sutured to the bottom resulting in a much smaller labium with a normal edge and anatomy. The suture line goes from inside the opening of the vagina across the labial edge and then along the outside of the labium.
If there is enlargement or extra folds of the clitoral hood during central wedge labial reduction, the outside excision on each side is often curved up to remove the sides of the hood (See more).
Problems and complications:
Complications are extremely uncommon if meticulous surgery is performed. Approximately two per cent will have a slight separation at the labial edge. However most of the visible small separations will resolve in four to six months and not require revision. Less than one percent will have a wound disruption. Rare surgical revisions may need to be performed for asymmetry of the labia minora or clitoral hood, unsightly or stretched scars, or separations of the labial edges. Revisions are delayed a minimum of four months after initial surgery to allow for healing.
The success rate of the central wedge reduction has been published in the plastic surgery literature with almost universal patient satisfaction rate with minimal complications, if performed by an experienced surgeon.
Alter's recent study in 407 patients revealed an average patient satisfaction rate of 9.2 out of 10 (10 most pleased). Improvement in self-esteem (93%), sex-life (71%), and discomfort (95%) occurred with a low significant complication rate (4%).

A brush assembly, such as for cleaning and sanitizing toilet bowls, having a removable and disposable applicator head. The brush assembly comprises an elongated handle with a broadening diverging end and an applicator head for removable attachment thereto. Dual locking means for the applicator head are provided, where the locking means may be manually released without having to physically handle a soiled applicator head.
1. A brush assembly having a removable and disposable application head, said brush assembly comprising:
a.) an elongated handle having a hand gripping end and a broadening diverging end featuring a base wall surrounded by a peripheral rim, a through channel extending between said base wall and the exterior of said elongated handle, a spring biased, elongated rod within said channel, where said rod is vertically movable in said channel, a cam element mounted on one end of said rod in proximity to said base wall, and a slot adjacent said peripheral rim in said diverging end; and,

9. The brush assembly according to
This invention is directed to the field of brush assemblies, more particularly to a brush assembly having a removable and disposable brush head that has a preferred use as a toilet bowl brush.
The present invention, in a preferred embodiment, relates to a toilet bowl brush assembly that has a removable and disposable head. Toilet brushes normally comprise plastic or wooden handles to which a brush or mop head is rigidly and permanently secured. When such brushes are worn, they must be replaced, and if the cleaning operation is a commercial establishment, frequent replacement can be expensive. Over and above the replacement issue, what may be more significant is the fact that such brushes are used in an environment that fosters germ growth. Traditionally, after use, the brushes are set aside in a portable cradle or merely placed in a closet. While such brushes offer a convenient place for spawning germ growth, the odors may also be offensive.
Disposable brushes have become known, but cost remains a concern for their broad use. The prior art offers a number of brush assemblies which include throw away brush heads. Certain of this prior art is reflected in the following U.S. Patents:
a.) U.S. Pat. No. 6,029,307, to Baudoin, teaches a kit for aiding in the drying and curling of hair. The kit includes plurality of brushes which may be twisted into the hair and allowed to remain for a period of time to set a curl. Each of the brushes has a connector to which a handle can be removably attached such that a single handle can be used with all of the brushes in the kit.
b.) U.S. Pat. No. 5,010,615, to Carter, relates to a hand-holdable tool including a handle that is detachably connected to a head unit by a locking and release mechanism that has a snap lock on the handle and a snap lock receiver located interiorly of the head unit. A soap impregnated cleaning pad of special steel can be attached to the head unit.
c.) U.S. Pat. No. 4,457,038, to Hammond, describes a permanent handle for a disposable brush or mop head. The handle comprises an elongated hollow body having a bottom and top end, the bottom end to releasably and frictionally engage a disposable brush or mop head and secure it in working position on the handle body. When it is desired to change the head, a plunger longitudinally movable within the elongated body is manipulated by the user to bear against a portion of the brush or mop head and dislodge it from frictional engagement with the body. In this manner the operator can avoid touching a soiled brush or mop head when removing it from the handle for replacement.
d.) U.S. Pat. No. 4,194,852, to Cupp et al., teaches an applicator for applying a liquid coating to a suitable object that includes a pad and a detachable handle. The pad includes a cushion, working means applied to the cushion lower surface, and a backing plate secured to the cushion upper surface. The plate is provided with hooks extending upwardly from its upper surface, and each hook is arranged along one of three sides of an imaginary square so as to capture an object slidably inserted into this imaginary square from the fourth side thereof The handle has, adjacent one end, an outturned square perimetrical flange which is adapted to be inserted into engagement with the hooks at any of four angular positions. The applicator may further include an adapter arranged to be inserted into the open end of the tube-like handle, to modify the same to matingly receive the threaded end portion of an extension pole.
The prior art enumerated above are several examples that offer a brush like member having a removable head for one reason or another. None, however, present a sanitary device that is suitable for cleaning toilet bowls, while including, among other features, means to release the used head without the user having to handle the brush head. The manner by which the present invention achieves the goals hereof will become more apparent in the description which follows, particularly when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
This invention is directed to a low cost and convenient means for cleaning and sanitizing a toilet bowl, for example, more particularly a brush assembly that includes a removable brush head that may be thrown away without requiring the user to handle the brush head. The assembly comprises a hand held tool having an elongated, hand gripping handle, terminating in a diverging end for removably receiving a concave housing member mounting brushing and scrubbing elements on its exterior, and a cam receiving opening on the opposite surface. To partially secure the concave housing member to the diverging end, the housing member includes a male tab for sliding engagement to a complementary female slot in the front face of the diverging end. The elongated handle is further characterized by a channel extending from a midpoint along the exterior through the interior terminating within the diverging end. Within the channel is a spring loaded rod mounting a cam member at its free end, where said cam member is sized to engage said cam receiving opening. In a first mode the cam member and complementary opening provide means to maintain the engagement of the housing member to the diverging end. However, when turned about 90° by a manual knob at the other end of the rod, designating a second mode, the cam member becomes aligned with the complementary opening such that the cam member may be released therefrom. Once released, it is a simple matter to slide the housing member relative to the diverging end to free the housing member for easy disposal.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is a sanitary household device for cleaning toilet bowls, where the device incorporates a manually operable locking mechanism for releasing a throw away brushing element.
Another object hereof is the provision of secondary, cooperating locking members to secure the throw away brushing element to the handle of the device.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a throw away brushing element that may incorporate plural brushing elements, such as bristles and a scrubbing pad.
Still another object hereof is a throw away brushing element comprising a concave housing having a cam receiving opening forming a part of the locking mechanism.
These and other objects will become clearer from the description and supporting drawings which follow.
FIG. 1 is a side view of the brush assembly of this invention.
FIG. 2 is a front view of the brush assembly hereof, partially showing the disposable brush housing, less the scrubbing pad, exploded from the handle.
FIG. 3 is a top, exploded perspective view of the disposable brush housing and spring loaded release mechanism for the assembly according to this invention.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cam lock head for the mechanism of FIG. 3.
The present invention relates to a brush assembly, with a removable and disposable head, that has particular utility as a hand held brushing device for cleaning and sanitizing toilet bowls. The brush assembly will now be described with regard to the several Figures where like reference numerals represent like components or features throughout the various views.
The full brush assembly 10 is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. The assembly comprises an elongated, generally solid, arcuate shaped handle portion 12 terminating in a diverging end 14, a base 15, and peripheral rim 16. Adjacent the rim 16, at the front, is a horizontal slot 18, the function of which will become clear hereafter. Internally, the handle portion 12 features a through channel 20 extending from the base 15, and communicating therewith through opening 22, vertically to an external opening 24. The opening 24 is further characterized by a broadened concentric recess 26 that is defined by an annular shoulder 28. Extending throughout the channel 20 is a sliding rod 30 that includes at a first or top end a knob 32 mounted to a rod extension 34, where the rod extension includes a lower, annular shoulder 36.
The sliding rod 30, at a second or lower end 38, features a half circled cam element 40 (FIG. 4), where vertical movement of the rod 20 is limited by the cam element 40 and rod extension 34. However, to temporarily fix the relationship of the rod to the channel a biasing coil spring 42 is provided within the broadened concentric recess 26, between the opposing shoulders 28, 36. To move the rod 20, the knob 32, against the action of the coil spring 42, is pushed downward and turned, as later explained. Upon release, the rod returns to the resiled position.
The removable and disposable portion of the brush assembly 10 is the housing portion 44 containing the bristle and scrubbing elements, as later described. The housing portion 44, best seen in FIG. 3, comprises a cup or concave shaped plastic support 46 having a peripheral rim 48 that essentially coincides with the peripheral rim 16 of the diverging end 14. Internally the housing portion 44 includes an upright chamber 50 defined by plural walls 52 and a top wall 54 featuring an opening 56 shaped to sidably receive the cam element 40 in a first operating mode. Note in particularly FIG. 3 where the cam element 40 is oriented to be freely received into the opening 56. However, once the cam element is so engaged, turning of the rod 30 will effect a mutual locking of the cam element within the chamber 50 with the misalignment of the cam element 40 to the opening 46. This will be discussed in more detail later.
Along the front of the peripheral rim 48 is an upwardly and inwardly extending male tab 58 for slidably engaging the slot 18 in the diverging end 14, see FIGS. 2 and 3. It is the combination of these engaging elements 58, 18 and the cam element 40 within the chamber 50 that ensures a temporary integral unit for the cleaning and scrubbing operation. However, to replace a new housing portion, the rod 30, by pushing on the knob 32 against the coil spring 42, pushes the cam element 40 further into the chamber 50 and then turned about 900 to align the shaped cam element to the opening 56 to allow the housing portion 44 to be released therefrom. By simply shifting the housing portion forward, the male tab 58 is finally released from the female slot 18 to fully release the housing portion from the diverging end of the handle. By this simple arrangement the germ laden housing portion 44, with its scrubbing elements, may be properly disposed of without having to handle the housing portion. With the housing portion free of the assembly 10, a fresh housing portion 44 may be secured thereto by engaging the tab and slot followed by securing the cam element into the chamber 50 and turning the rod 30. Upon releasing the rod, the energy of the coil spring raises the rod to its resiled position to temporarily secure the housing portion to the diverging end for continued use.
A preferred housing portion, best illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, shows the scrubbing elements 60 to consist of a bristle portion 62 in combination with pad 64 to ensure a full and proper cleaning of the bowl surfaces. As clearly seen in the two Figures, the scrubbing elements 60 are secured to the outer or concave surface of the housing portion.
It is recognized that changes, variations and modifications, particularly by those skilled in the art, may be made to the brush assembly of this invention, without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Accordingly, no limitation is intended to be imposed thereon except as set forth in the accompanying claims.
