Free parking deal to cost £395 per day
Posted: June 15, 2012|
SALTASH'S car parks will be free every weekend from July to the end of November after councillors voted to spend money from the Waitrose development on the scheme.
Saltash Town-centre Improvement Group (STIG) and Saltash Town Council ran a similar project using Section 106 money – used to offset the impact of developments – in the run-up to Christmas and said traders had seen a huge boost in custom.
Councillors opted to trial the scheme on Saturdays by paying Cornwall Council a set fee to compensate the unitary authority for the money lost in the same way as in December.
Parking in the town is already free on Sundays, meaning motorists will not have to pay between 4pm on Friday and 9am on Monday.
The Cornish Guardian last month reported on a row between Cornwall Council and STIG, chaired by councillor Adam Killeya, when the latter accused the authority of blocking moves to regenerate town centres.
Cornwall Council originally asked for £452 per day to cover the free Saturday parking, up from the £300 per day it received for the Christmas scheme.
Councillor Adam Killeya said: "We had budgeted for £350, but £395 per day I think is the best we're going to get. I'm not happy with it but we've at least beaten them down.
"I also asked Cornwall Council if they could quote us a price now for Christmas so they couldn't put it up again. They've come back and said no they won't do that."
Councillors voted unanimously to spend the extra money in the hope of increasing town centre footfall over the weekend.
"I'm pleased that Cornwall Council has come back with a more reasonable offer, although I still feel that it's excessive," said Mr Killeya.
"However, in the circumstances we've had to make a decision about the best way forward for Saltash and that's to proceed."
Commenting on the decision to accept the new offer, mayor Martin Gee said the people of the town wanted to be able to enjoy their town centre without paying a premium. We've got some new shops and two vacancies in the whole town and people are being penalised for turning up," he said.
Cornwall Council's town centre management specialist Guy Thomas said: "This scheme is part of an ongoing programme of measures we are working on with the STIG group and we wish them every success with the parking scheme," he said.
"From a town management perspective it will be valuable to monitor how structured schemes like this work and to learn lessons which may benefit others, too."

Bacon, Bratwurst, and Beer Cheese Potato Skins
One of my go-to Game Day foods has always been potato skins. This time around, we can settle for nothing less that the ultimate champion of skins—the MVP of football feasts. If we're truly bringing our appetizer A-game, we need to mix it up a bit by drafting some beer right into our recipes. Brew-loving brothers and sisters, if you're with me, allow me to introduce an ale-filled appetizer just in time for the Super Bowl: Bacon, Bratwurst, and Beer Cheese Potato Skins. More

Tuesday will tell, but multiple rumors are pointing to a subtle design distinction for the forthcoming iPhone 5S. Along with new Gold and Graphite colors, the home button is expected have a new look signifying the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner within.
FOX News anchor (and now app developer) Clayton Morris first claimed, in an interview last month, that "sources" told him that the home button will "have a silver ring around it." Speculation was raised by the inclusion in the invitation for Tuesday's announcement of three silver-bordered rings along with the brightly-colored circles reminiscent of the iOS 7′s new palette. (I have inserted iPhone 5 home buttons into those rings in the spoof on Apple Apple's invitation above.) The features is also shown on questionable "leaked" photos of 5S packaging, but these could have been generated in response to Clayton as opposed to anything Apple is actually doing.
Additionally, Sonny Dickson released high-resolution photos on Friday of a sensor purported to be attached to the new home button, but there has need no independent corroboration of the actual functionality of the leaked part.
Most accounts have indicated that initially the sensor will be able to authenticate a user on the device, as the lock screen passcode does now, but not yet be capable of secure payments. The payment piece will obviously be a really big deal, and many companies are pursuing that grail, but fingerprint authentication, if it works reliably, will be a big boon to Apple in winning over enterprise IT departments.
Wells Fargo Wells Fargo analyst and AllThingsD contributor Maynard Um, quoted this morning in USA Today, says that, "Enterprises want to know devices are in the right hands, and this pretty much guarantees it. [the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner] addresses enterprise security issues for Apple and will open up that market to the company more." Um is bullish on the new technology that Apple bought from Authentec, and on Thursday he raised his price range estimate for Apple by almost 10% (from $485-$525 to $525-$575) in advance of the 5S release.
"Everyone is looking at what this new phone can do, and one of the key things is fingerprint authentication," Um told USA Today. "People are underestimating what this technology can do." Indeed, the authentication feature has been the one genuinely new aspect of the 5S that has surfaced, leading me to speculate that the "S" will stand for "security." In combination with iOS 7′s iCloud Keychain, the fingerprint scanner could make the use of the new iPhones both more spontaneous and more secure.
Sebastien Taveau, the CTO of Validity Sensors, one of Authentec's major competitors, reminds us in the USA Today article that, "The swipe and PIN was one of the things Steve Jobs hated. It was in the way of the user experience." This could be the biggest post-Jobs improvement in user experience undertaken by Apple under Tim Cook, and its success (or failure) will tell us a lot about the future viability of the company's ability to innovate.
Apple will not be alone, particularly in the pursuit of biometric authentication for payments. PayPal president David Marcus predicts that, "Within the next two years the vast majority of high-end smartphones will have biometrics and mainly fingerprint logins. It's going to be very useful for payments." PayPal is partners with Google Google, BlackBerry, Lenovo and Validity Sensors in the FIDO Alliance (Fast Identity Online) a trade group that is charged with developing open standards for biometric alternatives to passwords and PINs. Apple, you will notice, is not a member of that group, indicating it intends to go its own way with this technology.

Fancy wordsby John Sanford on April 23, 2014 at 5:42 AM
The new show is going well, but it takes up a huge part of my brain, so every now and then, I'll miss a Monday or a Wednesday. Sorry, but that's the way it is, what with me directing on an awesome show and all of that.
Right now, it's 5:39 am, and our little dog Mochi is sleeping peacefully in my lap as I write this. I do love my dogs.
NEWS! I share an office with Chris Allison, also known as ToonHole Chris of Toonhole fame. He's a damned good cartoonist, and he's made a couple of books, and he's going to show me how to make one too!
Stay tuned, a Chippy and Loopus book is coming!
Thanks!!! Have a nice rest of the week!
Work work work work BASS!!!by John Sanford on March 17, 2014 at 2:01 AM
Hey all!
Work keeps getting in the way of work! It seems to keep happening, and I'm sorry about that folks, and I'm sorry for being sorry!
I think I've got my momentum back though. Sat down and wrote a ton of comics this weekend, and managed to get 3 of them pencilled in between bouts of yard work and bass practice.
Did I mention I play bass? Loads of cartoonists play bass, I've discovered. Not sure why.
It could be our natural sense of rhythm, even though it took me 5 or 6 attempts to spell it. Rhythm, that is. I swear, spell check almost exploded.
Anyway, more comics are coming. We are within spitting distance of the end of this story line. I have a ton of stuff after that too.
It's all fun, and much of it has fighting. Also jokes.
Thanks for reading! See you wednesday!
Back from the Unannounced Hiatus!by John Sanford on March 4, 2014 at 9:13 AM
Hey all! Just wanted to dash of a quick note here to say that I'm sorry for leaving you hanging, but I started on a new Project at Dreamworks TV Animation and it is VERY different from Dragons: Riders and/or Defenders of Berk and thus required more mental energy than usual. However, I'm back!
Thanks for hanging in there!
More news to come!
An Apology to KCby John Sanford on January 20, 2014 at 6:34 PM
Lets get right to the point: I discovered that it was NOT KC Green, creator of GunShow who led the comment from Rack Jeacher on December 30th, but instead was one of his fans. I made a leap I shouldn't have, and then said some hateful, petty things about KC Green and his comic. I called him a child, said he had a lazy mind, called his talent into question, etc.
All of this is uncalled for, and wrong. I apologize to KC for saying these things. It was wrong for me to jump to conclusions, and mean and petty for me to say horrible things about him and his work. I truly am sorry, KC.
I make this apology not because his idiot fans and their ludicrous comments, but because it is right to apologize for a wrong doing, and I have done wrong to KC.
Do I apologize for calling him out on not being able to discuss a movie without resorting to cutesy comments? No. Why?
My reason still stands. If he didn't want to discuss it, he should have ignored me. Was I aggressive in my approach. Yes, and for that I don't apologize.
If you make a statement I do not agree with and word it in a way I find silly, then I might just tell you so with the way I word my inquiry.
To all you KC acolytes commenting, I'm going to answer some of you in the comments section. Most of you are cowardly keyboard cowboys. What's the matter fellas, afraid to put your name on a statement? Afraid to leave a REAL email address?
That makes you a coward, and your comments will be given the consideration they deserve.
Thanks for your patience, readers. I'll try not to be such a hot head in the future.
KC Green, you take it easy, sir, and please accept this sincerest apology in the spirit it is given. Enjoy your success, but keep an eye on those fans of yours.
Those types may eventually turn on you. Watch out.
Rack Jeacher, Gunshows, and Internet Pomposityby John Sanford on January 20, 2014 at 10:45 AM
Hey all. It's been a while since I've written. I promise to do more of this in the future. It's good for me, I'm sure. Writing is always a good thing to do, especially if it's done well. I'll try to do it well, for you folks.
So…I began the New Year by getting into a Twitter fight with Webcomics Superstar; KC Green, creator of the wildly popular Gunshow. No, I will not provide him with a link, he doesn't need the traffic, and I'm going to try not to give him any.
Here is what happened: after many, MANY recommendations, I finally watched the Tom Cruise movie, Jack Reacher. If you enjoy action movies, or have read any of Lee Child's excellent Jack Reacher novels, do yourself a favor and go watch it. It's on Netflix Instant. If you have a membership it is yours right now!
Anyway, it's a solid action movie. Great story, fun tough-guy dialogue, and incredibly clear action scenes. Like I said, I enjoyed it. Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a GOOD movie.
So, I pop into Twitter for a bit yesterday, and saw that KC Green and another of his compatriots didn't like it so much. That's cool. I can handle a different opinion. What I take issue with is that all KC had to say, was this : that movie is a big ass piece of shit (sic).
I decided to engage him thusly: why is that movie as you so articulately put it, a "big ass piece of shit"?
Now I have since been told that this is a pretty aggressive way to engage in a conversation that I wasn't really a part of. Firstly: yeah, maybe. Secondly: It's TWITTER. It's not a private conversation. This is the nature of Twitter, it's a free for all. People joining in uninvited to a conversation is part of what makes Twitter cool.
KC responds: poor writing and an NRA jerk off fantasy, more so than other schlock action movies.
Heh. NRA jerkoff fantasy? A movie in which the hero walks around UNARMED for two thirds of the movie is an NRA jerk off fantasy? Perhaps he's referring to Robert Duvall's rather gun-friendly character. Okay. I asked him to elaborate. Why was the movie poorly written, I asked. He responded with a cutesy scene he made up. Twice. Okay. When someone does something like that, it tells me that either they can't articulate why they didn't like something, or that they didn't really see the movie, and that they are reviewing it from the trailer. If he didn't like it great. I'm okay with people not liking things I like. Happens all the time.
There are several movies my wife hates that I love, and vice versa.
This isn't the point.
It's the cutesy bullshit answer. I hate that.
So I told him he obviously wasn't able to discuss the movie like an adult, and to go get a juice box.
He told me to get fucked, then blocked me. Classy move!
THEN…he left a comment on the December 30th strip entitled "Resolutions for Dummies". You can go read the comment for yourself.
Cowardly move, and a bit infuriating, but truthfully, very revealing. It reveals a lazy mind, and a smug, pompous attitude.
Of course, Mr. Green's comic is wildly popular, more so than my humble little feature here. He has 20,000 followers on Twitter to my paltry 3,000.
It's tempting to attack him for his lack of drawing ability, but what's the point. That is self evident.
I think the thing that gets me the most is the attitude.
That smug, "I know art and art is important, everything sucks" attitude has begun to really wear on me. What worries me is that sometimes, I do that. I hate on things just to be funny. I do my best to justify my positions, but sometimes, …I just hate. That's not cool.
I think the other thing is the idea the fact that it appears that he believes his popularity gives him license to act however he wants, and to be as big of a jerk as he wants to be. Why do I say that? Well, because he could have just ignored me. He didn't. He chose to engage just to be an asshole, because he can.
His little comment reveals a lot. It reveals that he truly has the mind of a child. A petty, immature child.
Of course, I should have known that from his brilliant assessment of the movie. "A big ass piece of shit?" He's not exactly Leonard Maltin, or even Harry Knowles for that matter. So it made me think.
I engaged. Me. This is my fault for thinking a child like KC Green would have the intellectual capacity and the maturity to seriously discuss anything.
Well. I won't do that again. Until I do.
Truthfully, to quote the Tick "I haven't learned a thing".
There is a lesson in here somewhere. I'll find it eventually.
Thanks for reading! You all go and have a Happy New Year!

Efforts to keep Fiddlehead Focus alive continue
Many events in the St.John Valley area have relied on coverage by Fiddlehead focus for the past 3 years. With the print version no longer available, Publisher/Editor Andrew Birden is now relying solely on the online version, without these online subscribers there may not be a future for Fiddlehead Focus…However local business' have been helping out.
"I started offering business sponsorships starting this week and several buisness' have been stepping up and they would like to see fiddlehead focus continue, and so they are purchasing sponsorships that include advertising and this may bridge that gap." Say's Birden
Loss of money income has resulted in the loss of 6 jobs, Birden said if he was not forced financially to do so, he would have never made these cuts. Birden has been working 6 to 7 days a week to keep Fiddlehead focus updated daily…the original goal was was to hit 1000 subscribers by the end of this week, however that deadline has been extended.
Birden say's "what i'm hoping is that if I can manage to get through the next couple of weeks that soon after that i'll be able to bring in a part time person that'll transition to a full time person as the subscriptions and sponsorships continue to grow."
Birden is not the only one who is want's to keep fiddlehead in business.
Local Rod Larhen said, "I think that the fiddlehead focus has been a nice paper it's got a lot of nice news and news articles."
Local Patrick Albert said, "it would be negative if we loose fiddlehead focus, it's a good news paper"
"I think it was absolutely a tremendous serve for the community as i said those of us who like to read and those of us who like to write it was an outlet for us." Local Elizabeth Peceoraro added.
But in order to remain an outlet, Birden still needs roughly 700 subscriptions and the local business community to continue to step up.

Most great creative movements start small before asserting cultural domination. The short narrative game is no exception.
Games like Journey, Dear Esther and Limbo currently live at the artistic edge of gaming's vast metropolis, a bohemian corner of town favored by gaming's well-educated cognoscenti. But they are gaining favor and popularity.
In the not-so-distant future, the two-hour story-game could be bigger than current cultural norms like the 20 hour adventure (Batman Arkham City), the 50-hour open world (Skyrim), and the 100 hour casual puzzle (Farmville).
Why? To put it in simple terms, their time has come. They deliver something that the public wants – a huge emotional kick, packaged in a movie-length time frame for a reasonable price of $10 or $15. They are perfectly formed for the modern seeker of entertainment looking for a more substantial experience than a throw-away iPhone puzzler, but something less demanding than an MMO. They are family entertainment, stories with characters and feelings, in ways that, say, online shooters emphatically are not.
They play well to the games industry's current needs, fast becoming a business about individual creators delivering great experiences online without the need for huge development teams, retail deals, or packaging. IGN interviewed talented game-makers such as Jenova Chen (Journey), Dino Patti (Limbo) and Dan Pinchbeck (Dear Esther) who want to make these games because they offer a palette for telling stories, as opposed to a platform for iterating mechanics or sandbox open-play.
You could argue that the 40-hour game is an historical / environmental creation of expensive development and marketing costs unique to gaming. If you are a games publisher and you have to put a game on a cartridge or CD, and you need to hire 100 people to make it, you need to deliver 'value' in terms of play-hours to justify that high price. How often have we heard that such-and-such a game offers "30 hours" of longevity, as if a game ought to be judged by the same standards as a light-bulb.
In the age of downloadable retail and cheap game-creation tools, this model is less important. The short game is here, because, finally, it's really possible. (It's interesting that one of the best short games ever, Portal, came to us bundled up with The Orange Box.)
None of this is to suggest, even for a second, that longer games are destined for extinction, any more than the movie entirely killed the novel. Many of us love to immerse ourselves in deep, open worlds with almost infinite possibilities for our own narratives. Likewise, we all have our itches that need to be scratched, those addictive little games we go back to again and again for very short fixes, even if the experience differs very little each time we play.
But the two-hour narrative game has arrived as something with a definite beginning, middle, and end. It's a story that is designed to be played through entirely in one sitting. It does not demand the kind of time-investment of a game like Mass Effect 3, nor does it attempt to persuade you to join a sub-culture of online enthusiasts like Call of Duty. Nor is it crafted to ensnare you with addictive tricks, like Angry Birds. It is downloadable and priced at the cost of a movie ticket and a bag of popcorn.
Here's what some game creators and experts on gaming told IGN about the growing phenomenon...Continues

Because I got into a great discussion about the word "bitch" and feminism with the guy that changed my oil at Jiffy Lube the other day. He starting talking about how his mother struggled as a "single mom" in the late 50's and we collectively wondered what she would think about the reclamation of the word for personal use. Anyone have any good stories about conversations they've had as a result of folks merely seeing the title of the magazine? (It's also how I met one of my best friends at the gym. I knew she was cool cause she was wearing a Bitch t-shirt).
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

Bitchin' In Peace Corps
I had just moved to my village site in Kenya for my Peace Corps Service. I had another volunteer about 10km away and when she invited me over I jumped at the chance for some American chatter. I had never met Emily and didn't know if my closest volunteer and I would mesh. When I sat down and saw Bitch magazine on her table, I knew we would be close friends for the rest of our lives. And we are! I had NEVER met another Bitch reader, let alone someone who managed to have friend send it all the way to Kenya. Rock on, we luv you!
What about the children?
The thing I'm starting to try to figure out is how to talk about Bitch Magazine in front of my 4yo daughter. Reclaiming is fine & dandy except that you know she'll go tell her friends about mommy's Bitch magazine. tee-hee...So around her, it's all about B magazine. At least until she grasps the idea of "it's not a bad word, but a rude word, so we only use it when we're [fill in the blank]."

Well, let me know what you end up saying that works, because I've got a 2 1/2 year old (boy) and we'll have to talk about that at some point. He'll have to understand when and for whom that word is okay, which is to say, why I get to use it in a positive context and he doesn't (:

I love reading Bitch Magazine in public because it is counters all of the misogynistic noise in my daily environment. I especially like to read it while riding the bus. Many times, I am approached while riding buses with some pretty foul and unacceptable language (as are many women), but my Bitch Magazine is like an instant repellent, a badge of honor, and shield from drunken and slurry spit-laden speech. I haven't made any connections with fellow Bitch readers, but I have turned a few people on to the magazine (including my husband).

As befits an open and vigorous academic community, the College recently has welcomed guest speakers on topics ranging from international human rights to federal judicial selection and to the rapidly growing science of comparative genomics. Here are a few examples of special lectures enriching our students' education and their professional development:
The Idaho Supreme Court has submitted the Judicial Branch's budget request for funding in Fiscal Year 2010 to continue planning an Idaho Law Learning Center in conjunction with the "second century" initiative of the College of Law. The College was authorized by the Idaho State Board of Education (the University's Board of Regents), on August 21, 2008, to engage in this collaborative process with the Supreme Court. Planning for the Learning Center, a multipurpose facility, has been supported by the Permanent Building Fund. The Supreme Court's budget request contains the following description of the Learning Center's purposes and components:
"… to enhance legal and judicial education in Idaho, to provide law related educational outreach to all Idaho communities and other colleges and universities, and to relocate and upgrade the State Law Library among other important goals. The proposed Idaho Law Learning Center will include a Law Library shared by the College of Law, its faculty and students, the Supreme Court, and its law clerks and court staff, legislators, members of the bar, and the general public, as well as education and training classrooms for shared use by the Law School, courts, libraries, and other public groups, to include state-of-the-art distance learning and on-line learning capabilities, and faculty and staff offices, work centers, and requisite office, gathering, and storage spaces."

CARO Amancaya 2007
Bordeaux Red Blends from Argentina, South America
Winemaker's Notes
Deep purple color. Fruit driven wine with appealing red & black cherries flavors, black plums, hint of mint & cedar. On the palate it has a nice tannic texture that is full & round. Notes of vanilla & tobacco coming from French oak.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Concentrated and focused, with alluring cedar and roasted vanilla notes weaving through the dark currant and plum fruit, followed by a nicely structured finish. More like Cabernet than Malbec. Rock-solid. Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2010. 10,000 cases imported."
Wine Enthusiast - "For a sense of class, elevation and style that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, this blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is very much worth a go. It's versatile and stocky, but it's no fruit-only lug. That said, expect saturated berry flavors, herbal hints, baked notes and firm tannins. Masculine but approachable. Drink now through 2011."
International Wine Cellar - "Bright ruby-red. Complex nose offers currant, graphite, tobacco, licorice, cedar and fresh herbs. Ripe, juicy and suave, with lovely density to the supple flavors of currant, graphite and dark chocolate. At once velvety and energetic, with a peppery nuance perking up the dark fruit flavors. The firm finish features sweet tannins. I find more thorough ripeness here than in the 2006 version, making this a stunning value in claret-like Argentine wine. Caro is a joint venture of Lafite-Rothschild and Nicolas Catena."

Bodegas Caro Winery
CARO was born of an alliance between two wine cultures (French and Argentine), two noble grape varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec), and two renowned wine families (Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Nicolas Catena.)
Immediately after CARO's 2002 release, the first vintage of CARO, 2000, was acclaimed by professionals. The achievement of CARO has naturally led the partners to elaborate another wine based on the traditional Argentinean Malbec, conserving the fine balance between the characteristics of Argentina and the style of Bordeaux wines. As a commemoration to the Andean roots, the Indian name of a pretty little flower, which grows on the high altitude of the Andes has been chosen: Amancaya.
Vignerons since the 19th century, these two powerful organizations have combined their deep knowledge of Mendoza's high altitude terroir and the art of winemaking to create truly unique wine. View all Bodegas Caro Wines
About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2003 Saddam Hussein's "same old stuff" and "propaganda" won't keep the United States from completing its mission in Iraq, President Bush said here Nov. 16.
Speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, the president said he didn't yet have all the details of an audiotape broadcast on the Arabic-language news network Al Arabiya. On the tape, purportedly from Saddam, the speaker urges Iraqis to resist and fight the coalition until it leaves the country.
"I haven't seen the specifics," the president said. "I suspect it's the same old stuff. You know, it's propaganda. We're not leaving until the job is done, pure and simple."
Bush said he's sure Saddam would like to see the United States leave. "And I know that elements of the Baathist party -- those who used to torture, maim and kill in order to stay in power -- would like to see us leave," he added. "(But) we will do our job."
The president said that while it had been a "tough week" in Iraq, progress was made toward a sovereign and free Iraq, with a timetable laid out for the transfer of sovereignty in June.
"We're pleased with that timetable; we think it makes sense," Bush said, adding, "We're going to stay tough and deal with the terrorists." He said that while the political progress toward Iraqi sovereignty will move forward, the security situation in Iraq will dictate U.S. troop strength in the country.
Commenting on the crash of two Army Black Hawk helicopters that claimed 17 soldiers' lives and injured five others Nov. 15, the president said, "It's a sad day when we lose life," whether in a helicopter crash or by improvised explosive devices. Bush told reporters he had spent part of the day praying for U.S. and coalition service members and their families.
"The sacrifice that our folks are making in Iraq will serve our nation's interests in the short term and long term," the president said. "It's best to defeat the terrorists in Iraq so we don't have to defeat them here.
"As well," he continued, "a free and stable Iraq, in the heart of a part of the world where there is frustration and anger, where the recruiters of hatred are able to find terrorists, will be a transforming event. And I appreciate the families who are making the sacrifices, along with our troops."

I was feeling a little nerdy this morning and I was on Ravelry, so I somehow stumbled upon this pattern for a Cthulu cap. Since I haven't tried stranded color work before (I've only done intarsia) I decided to give it a shot. It was really fun to make, and using charts for the color work was a nice little experience too, since I messed up on it once. At least now I've broken into another way to add color to work. Hooray!
Also, I've started on my KAL boxers too. I found this really nice yarn at my local Joanns, and got it. It's Patons Silk Bamboo. 70% Bamboo 30% Silk, really really soft, and 6 bucks. So I totally got it. These will definitely be my lounge-around boxers.
I too like the color combo - nice job.
Color me IMPRESSED! I really like the subtlety of color. Great job!
I now officially am in awe. That would be at least a three day project for me; *IF* I could forced myself to attempt the colourwork.
Your tension looks great, I don't see any puckering; I like the colour choices, it's subtle, not in your face....

Organisers and officials in Russia moved towards ending the uncertainty over their inaugural grand prix scheduled to take place at Sochi in 2014.
Earlier, the country's automobile federation, the RAF, missed the July 31 deadline to apply to host the race in 2014, due to failing to reach an agreement with the promoter, Omega.
But the Russian sports daily Sport Express on Monday said Omega is now set to reach an agreement with the RAF.
Whether the Sochi race can be held in 2014 will then rest on whether the FIA accepts 'force majeure' as the reason for the missed application deadline.
"We just couldn't miss the chance to reach an agreement," Omega general manager Oleg Zabara was quoted.
"We're set to sign an official contract with RAF this week before sending an application to stage the 2014 race to the FIA. We've already reached the agreement, which we now need to formalise." (GMM)

(Princeton University)
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene-type monomers has been demonstrated as a facile way to produce block copolymers incorporating semicrystalline, glassy, and rubbery blocks. Of particular interest are block copolymers, made by ROMP, with thermoplastic elastomeric properties. For this application we seek blocks with glass transition temperatures (T$_{\mathrm{g}})$ in excess of 100 $^{\mathrm{o}}$C. To this end, novel substituted norbornene-type monomers with large, rigid substituents have been investigated. A key consequence of the ROMP mechanism is that unsaturation in the monomer is preserved in the polymer. Unsaturation in the polymer backbone is susceptible to degradation; therefore, hydrogenation is required to enhance the long-term stability of these polymers. Hydrogenation can also have a significant impact on the thermal behavior. To investigate this, we have synthesized ROMP polymers of 5-phenyl-2-norbornene and 5-cyclohexyl-2-norbornene. Hydrogenation yielded derivatives with saturated backbones. This series of polymers provides a systematic study on the influence of hydrogenation on the T$_{\mathrm{g}}$ of glassy ROMP polymers. We find that saturation of the side group increases the T$_{\mathrm{g}}$ by 14 $^{\mathrm{o}}$C, irrespective of backbone saturation. Conversely, saturation of the backbone reduces T$_{\mathrm{g}}$ by 17 $^{\mathrm{o}}$C for both aromatic and cycloaliphatic side groups. When compared to analogous studies on other ROMP polymers, it becomes clear that these trends are difficult to predict, highlighting the importance of experimental measurements.

The ALCULYMPIC Game of all of City College in Phillipines. The National Game of City College. Alculympics, founded in 2009, is a sports league and triennial multi-sport event involving participants from the current 18 member schools of the Association of Local Colleges and Universities in the Philippines. The five-day tournament has 14 sports events, including volleyball, basketball, table tennis, taekwondo, arnis, and track and field. One of the highlights of this event is the search for Miss Alculympics.
The first Alculympics was hosted from January 19 to 23, 2009 by the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina at the Marikina Sports Center, with the theme "Towards a Dynamic Culture of Sportsmanship."
Calapan was formerly a small village before the establishment of the first Religious District inBaco. The District convent was transferred to Calapan in 1733 and began its jurisdiction over the Northern Mindoro Ecclesiastical Area.[2]
In the early 18th century, the town only occupied a strip of land stretching from Ibaba to Ilaya in a cross-shape facing the present church and cut-off by the river. Later on, succeeding barrios were founded
In 1837, the capital of the province was moved from Puerto Galera to Calapan. When Mindoro became a part of Marinduque on June 13, 1902, the provincial capital was once again moved to Puerto Galera. On November 10, 1902, Mindoro was detached from Marinduque. In 1903, Calapan once again became the provincial capital.[2]
When Mindoro was detached from Marinduque on November 10, 1902, Baco, Puerto Galera and San Teodoro were annexed to Calapan in 1905 under Act. 1280, adding a total area of 843 km2. of land. In 1902, under Act 2824, the three (3) municipalities gained their independence.
In 1919, the boundary dispute between Calapan and Naujan was adjudicated by Presidentes Agustin Quijano of Calapan and Agustin Garong of Naujan over a portion of the territory of what is now known as the present boundary. The portion of agricultural area was awarded to Naujan, thus, making the area of Calapan much smaller as compared to that of Naujan which is now considered as the biggest municipality of the province.
At present, Calapan has an area of only 250.06 km2 (according to LMB). It has also jurisdiction over the three (3) Baco Islets on the Calapan Bay and the two (2) Silonay Islets.
The City of Calapan has been transformed as a component city on March 21, 1998. Its conversion was based on Republic Act 8475, enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Fidel Ramos on February 2, 1998. In a plebiscite held on March 21, 1998, majority of Calapeños ratified the conversion of Calapan into a city. It is the first and only city in the province of Oriental Mindoro.[2]
Since its creation as a city, Calapan has witnessed significant strides in commerce and industry, infrastructure and social services. New commercial establishments were opened providing employment and income opportunities for the residents. An expanded program on social services delivery, particularly in health care and education, were undertaken. The city's physical infrastructure was upgraded which includes the construction of new roads and drainage facilities, as well as a new City Government Center. Tourism was boosted with the opening of inland resorts and new hotels.

Logan High School graduate Morgan Aguirre is making a big impression so far on the collegiate women's softball stage.
Aguirre, a freshman player at the University of Charleston, has been named as the WVIAC Pitcher of the Week.
Aguirre pitched a shutout win in her lone appearance last week as she worked all five innings and led the Golden Eagles to an 8-0 victory over Bluefield State. Aguirre, a right-handed hurler, gave up just two hits and struck out one as she faced just five batters over the minimum.
Charleston, 3-8 on the season, earned a sweep over Bluefield, also winning 7-3 in the opener.
The Golden Eagles had gotten off to a rough 1-8 start to the season. The only other win this season by the Golden Eagles was a 3-2 victory over Kentucky Wesleyan on Feb. 17 in a tournament at Huntsville, Ala. Aguirre got the win in that one as she hurled a complete game three-hitter.
Aguirre was an ace pitcher in her four years with Coach Randy Robinette's Logan Lady Cats' team and led LHS to four straight Class AAA state tournament appearances from 2009-12. Logan went 112-23 in Aguirre's years with the Lady Cats — a winning percentage of .830.
Aguirre had made seven apperances so far this spring with UC and has six starts. She is 2-3 within the circle with a 3.28 ERA. Aguirre has hurled 36.1 innings and has allowed 17 earned runs and 32 hits to go along with her 18 strikeouts and 22 walks. She has thrown only one wild pitch.
Aguirre has two Logan County players as teammates on the UC team in former Chapmanville Regional High School standouts and twin sisters Jenna and Allison Evans.
Jenna Evans is also having a goood season so far as she is hitting .375 — the third highest average on the team. Evans has started in eight games and is 6-for-16 at the plate with a triple, an RBI and a slugging percentage of .500.
Allison Evans has a .250 batting average with four base hits in nine games played.

With the NHL lockout and the present wrap-up of the CFL season, it's likely that Canadian sports fanatics aren't tuning in to quite as many broadcasts as they would hope to at this given moment. Alternatively, viewers are still tuning into NFL, NBA and a plethora of other sporting events around the world. While tuning into such sports broadcasts– whether pre-game, halftime, and just to catch the end of game discussions among sports broadcasters–take a moment to ponder the last time you watched a sports broadcast and considered the gender of the panel member. I would be curious to know the percentage of individuals who concluded that the reporter was a male.
Section five of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights identifies that "no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." While acts of freedom have been implemented in several democratic societies, equality remains a constant struggle for individuals within democratic and other political cultures alike. While many greater struggles of course exist, the aim of this review is to address gender bias pertaining specifically to sports journalism, broadcasting, and air times of men's and women's sports events on television.
In many countries current laws have helped to alter job markets so that they allow for equal opportunities among men and women. Unfortunately, sports broadcasting is an industry which seems to be falling short of the bench mark for equal representation and credibility amongst male and female reporters.
In their work The Credibility of Female Sports Broadcasters: The Perception of Gender in a Male-Dominated Profession, authors Amanda Gunther, Daniel Kautz and Allison Roth strive to identify gender bias in terms of male and female sports broadcasters. Specifically, they center their research on determining why stereotypes are consistent within the field of sports journalism and sports broadcasting. The authors use qualitative and quantitative research methods to establish whether or not men and women are viewed as equally knowledgeable within the particular industry.
This academic work originally theorizes that gender bias would result in women being seen as less credible sports broadcasters in comparison to men. In order to explore their hypothesis, they investigate the history of women within sports journalism and the question of credibility in terms of gender bias. They investigated by conducting a structured a survey with 181 participants, as well as conducting focus groups and focus interviews, posing questions such as: "Do you believe that there exists a credibility gap between male and female sports broadcaster, based solely on gender?" When all research was completed and examined, their results illustrated that "the majority [of respondents] found [both genders] to be equally knowledgeable."
Earlier studies by Ordman and Zillman proved a different viewpoint than that of Gunther, Kautz & Roth. Based off a hypothesis that assumed both male and female audience members to deem women less involved with and this less knowledgeable of sports, and therefore judged as less competent, their research proved their hypothesis to be true. More specifically, data they collected confirmed that "female sports reporters are perceived as less competent than their male colleagues. The female reporter was also perceived as less informed about sports generally and specifically."
Perhaps female sports broadcasters are seen as being less competent due to the social stereotypes surrounding women and sports. Specific behaviours are often identified by individuals in society in terms of what consitutes acceptable behaviour for both genders. This identification is known as the self-categorization theory. Reid, Palomares, Anderson & Bondad-Brown, researchers and authors of this theory, explain that self- categorization in terms of gender roles anticipates that "women will suffer the costs of negative stereotypes when gender is salient. In this case, women will be expected to conform to the female stereotype, and negatively evaluated when they are assertive because they will be perceived as conforming to the male stereotype."
Women's competence in terms of reporting– specifically in terms of sports journalism– can also be linked to a variety of roles played by women in the media. While more primary female roles are appearing in television shows, they still often depict gender-specific stereotypes and are not always shown as equals compared to their male counterparts. The fact that male characters on television are more likely to be employed and hold high status positions than female characters is something shown in various gender role studies.
One particularly relevant study (by Lauzen, Dozier, Reyes, Glascock et al) focused specifically on sampling television broadcasts between 2003 and 2004 and used artefacts that included drama and comedy genres. This study focused specifically on observing the age of characters within the plots, but also analysed how gender played a factor in establishing character roles. Examining previous studies done on prime time television through literature review and quantitative analysis, it was determined that age and gender identities within specified mediums showed an inaccurate representation of the U.S population. With this being an established fact, is it not surprising that the depiction of women within sports broadcasting can be linked to inaccurate representations of women in general?
Recent television shows, specifically drama genres, have done excellent work in fleeing from female stereotypes by portraying women as doctors, lawyers, athletes, women of their communities as well as mothers. But why is it that women can be doctors, lawyers, community members, and mothers, but not sports broadcasters?
After consideration and discussion with family and friends, I realized that circumstances, in some ways are changing. Canadian sports channels such as TSN, Sports Net, and even NHL reports on CBC are currently being led by confident and articulate women who are equally as knowledgeable compared to their male counterparts. Intrigued by this idea of male to female ratios in broadcast crews, I visited both TSN and Sports Net's websites to try and retrieve a list of broadcasters' names but failed to recover any. Still, all photographs featured on their home pages were of male broadcast teams.
In this magnificent world we live in that is constantly fostering growth, the work force is also progressing to create equal opportunities amongst men and women. Sports broadcasting is just another example of a sector that is lagging in this respect, and it's time for that to change.

The buy's size is roughly $75,000, one source said.
Paul has made clear he's making a play to win the Ames Straw Poll next month, although the radio buy isn't a carpetbombing efort, and appears to be limited to roughly one station for each market.

text: Defiance was a fun game to play at Gamescom. After all those traditional MMORPGs shooting at someone's character with alien weapons really breaks the mold. We tried all the layouts and tried showing all the special skills and weapons available at this time. You can see the sniper class having a stealth ability and shotgun wielders having a speed boost ability. This was probably the most fun I had doing work at Gamescom and having a positive score at the end of the match contributed the most to that feeling :).

Epistolary Marriage
An intimate glimpse of the Adams household.
Jun 2, 2008, Vol. 13, No. 36 • By EDWARD ACHORN
"I don't like your Word 'Dissipation' at all," he sputters, working himself into an Adams lather. "My Child . . . is not to be the Prise, I hope of any, even reformed Rake. A Lawyer would be my Choice, but it must be a Lawyer who spends his Midnights as well as Evenings at his Age over his Books not at any Ladys Fire side. . . . A Youth who has been giddy enough to Spend his Fortune or half his Fortune in Gaieties, is not the Youth for me, Let his Person Family, Connections and Taste for Poetry be what they will. I am not looking for a Poet, nor a Professor of belle Letters." Poor Abigail, too, comes under fire: "I dont like this Method of Courting Mothers," John grumbles.
Many of their letters are suffused with a darker mood. "Stern Winter is making hasty strides towards me," Abigail writes, "and chills the warm fountain of my Blood by the Gloomy prospect of passing it alone, for what is the rest of the World to me?" They suffered this way because they wanted to preserve freedom, something that can only be earned through sacrifice. I wonder if Adams, looking down on the America of 2008, ever does "repent . . . the Pains" that he and his dearest friend took?

An adhesive face patch for the support of an oxygen tube for the purpose of supplying supplemental oxygen to a patient includes a body formed generally in the shape of a three-leaf clover with petals which are bendable with respect to each other at a central section to conform to a patient's cheek contour at the maxillary prominence, includes tube-receiving pedestals or posts formed in pairs on lateral petals to receive an oxygen tube and to cause the tube be held in a curved state to redirect the tube to or toward the nostril, and a center pedestal over which the tube may be looped after adjusting for comfort, so that the oxygen tube may have a slight upward thrust to assist in supporting the nasal insert and retaining the same in place.
1. An improved adhesive face patch arrangement for the selective support of an oxygen tube for the application of supplemental oxygen to a patient, comprising:
a patch having a body formed of pliable plastic sheet material generally in the shape of a three-leaf clover having a front petal, a back petal and a bottom petal joined to each other at a central common section of a substantially narrower width compared to the maximum width of each of said petals,
said petals being bendable with respect to each other about said central section to conform to a patient's face contour, and being proportioned to be received on a patient's cheek bone prominence,
a flexible oxygen delivery tube,
each of said front and back petals having a pair of tube-receiving pedestals proportioned to receive said oxygen tube therebetween and said pair on said front petal set at an angle to said pair on said back petal so that said tube enters one said pair with a downward inclination toward said bottom petal and exits the other said pair with an upward inclination away from said bottom petal defining a relaxed position of said tube,
a single said pedestal on said central common section positioned above said relaxed position of said tube thereon and forming a post over which a portion of the tube at said central common section may be looped for locking said tube in a preadjusted position on said patch, and
medical grade adhesive on said body on the side thereof remote from said pedestals.
2. The patch of claim 1 in which said pedestals are formed with enlarged ends which prevent accidental dislodgement of said tube therefrom while providing for longitudinal and rotational adjustment therebetween.
3. An improved adhesive patch arrangement for the support of a flexible tube extending therefrom to the nostril of a patient, comprising:
a patch having a support body of medical grade vinyl sheet material, medical grade adhesive on one side of said body for conforming attachment of said patch in the general region of the patient's cheek bone prominence,
a flexible tube,
a plurality of upstanding posts on said body extending from the other side thereof, each said post having an enlarged head on the end thereof including a first pair of said posts in spaced-apart relation and adapted to receive said tube therebetween by slight deflections of said heads during tube insertion and thereafter tending to retain said tube adjacent said body,
a second said pair of said posts on said body spaced from and at an angle to said first pair of posts to cause an intermediate section of said tube to curve with said tube entering said patch with a downward inclination with respect to said patient's face and exiting said patch with an upward inclination, and
a fifth said post on said body intermediate said first and second pairs of posts and above said intermediate tube section curvature and adapted to engage said tube by the lifting of said intermediate tube section thereabove for locking said tube in adjusted position on said patch.
4. The patch of claim 3 in which said patch body is shaped in the form of a three-leaf clover having a front petal, a back petal and an intermediate downwardly-extending petal, each of said petals being joined at a common central section, and which said first and second posts pairs are located respectively on said front and back petals, and in which said fifth post is located on said body central section.
In co-pending application, Ser. No. 798,159 filed Nov. 15, 1985, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,555 issued Apr. 28, 1987, there is disclosed an improved unilateral system for supplying supplemental oxygen to a patient. That application also discloses an improved oxygen tube holder which has a base of arcuate shape adapted to be mounted on a support patch and in which the support has a central retaining electrode or button. The holder of that application preformed the oxygen tube into a curved configuration, between pairs of tube grippers or holding fingers.
The particular tube holder as disclosed in the pending application has not been entirely satisfactory in clinical tests. The curved tube holder, mounted on a metal button or electrode of a skin patch, at times provided insufficient support for the tube and permitted the nosepiece to drop free. Further, its placement and use was sometimes found to be awkward, and as a disposable item, its cost was relatively high by reason of the two-part construction. The holder did not provide ease of adjustment of the oxygen tube after insertion into the tube supports.
Accordingly, there is still a need for an improved oxygen tube holding patch which is easy to use, which permits ease of axial and rotational adjustment of the oxygen tube after the patch has been placed on the patient's face, which supports the tube with an upward thrust toward the nasal cavity, and which is low cost and universally applicable.
The present application is directed to an improved low cost yet highly versatile face patch for the selective support of an oxygen tube, such as for the application of supplemental oxygen to a patient. The particular patch is characterized by versatility and an ability to provide for lateral adjusting movement of the tube when adjustment is required, and thereafter permitting the tube to be locked or clamped into a preadjusted position. This is accomplished by the employment of a substrate body which is formed generally in the shape of a three-leaf clover having a front petal, a back petal, and a bottom petal, all joined at a common central section. Stated in other terms, the patch will utilize three circle-shaped portions joined in a three-leaf clover pattern, with each of the circles joined by a slender isthmus which allows each of the three petals making up the patch to be bent or conformed, so as to be contoured to any variance in the maxillary prominence. The base is provided with sufficient thickness for support of the posts thereon, forming a part of the patch.
Each of the front and back petals is provided with a pair of tube-receiving pedestals or posts which are proportioned to receive the oxygen tube therebetween. The posts are formed with enlarged ends or tips to prevent accidental dislodgment of the tube from the spaces therebetween. The paired lateral posts are spaced so as to allow the oxygen delivery tube to be inserted therebetween.
The arrangement assures that the oxygen tube will not be dislodged, and yet may be adjusted to and fro in the longitudinal axial of the tube and also rotated with ease. Thus, two pairs of posts are provided on the remote petals. A fifth post is positioned in the general area of the junction of the center petal with the connecting isthmus and is clear of the tube during adjustments of the location and position of the tube, as noted above. The fifth post also forms a locking post over which an intermediate section of the oxygen tube may be looped to lock the tube in a preadjusted position. When locked, the tube may be caused to provide a continuous stable upward thrust of the nasal insert piece. The upward thrust assures that the nasal insert will not gradually fall away from the nostril and progressively compromise the desired oxygen delivery.
When the patch is located on the face, the center or downwardly directed petal projects away from the cheek and away from the oribital rim. The position of this petal with respect to the other two petals and the body of the patch may be adjusted or preformed to conform to the cheek contour.
It is accordingly an important object of this invention to provide a patch for supporting an oxygen tube which is highly versatile in application, low in cost, and easy to apply.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a patch for supporting an oxygen tube, for delivering supplemental oxygen to a patient, in which the tube may be caused to be urged through an angle upwardly in such a manner that the nasal insert is urged into its seated or operative invention.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of an oxygen tube support patch, having a configuration generally that of a three-leaf clover, in which two of the uppermost petals and a center portion are formed with oxygen support posts, and in which a bottom or third petal provides support or stability to the patch.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of an oxygen tube support patch, in which the tube in one position may be freely adjusted with respect to laterally spaced support posts on the patch, and in a second position supports or locks the tube in place.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, the accompanying drawings, and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view showing the use of the oxygen tube support patch of this invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the patch showing an oxygen tube prior to placement thereon;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the patch, showing the oxygen tube in the unlatched adjustable position;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 but showing the oxygen tube in the latched or adjusted position; and
FIG. 5 is a transverse section along the line 5--5 of FIG. 3.
Referring to the figures of the drawing which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, an improved adhesive face patch for the selective support of an oxygen tube, such as for the application of supplemental oxygen to a patient, is illustrated generally at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2. The patch 10 is formed with a generally planar and pliable body formed of plastic material, such as medical grade vinyl, and is provided with a medical grade adhesive material on its under or backside, such as for securing the patch to the maxillary prominence region 11 of the face, as shown in FIG. 1.
The patch 10 is formed with a body generally in the shape of a three-leaf clover, including a front petal 12, a back petal 14, and a bottom petal 15 joined to each other at a generally common central section 20. The central section 20 is of reduced as compared to the maximum width of each of the petals.
Each of the front and back petals 12 and 14 has a pair of identical tube-receiving pedestals or posts thereon. The back petal has a pair of upstanding posts 22 while the front petal 14 has a similar pair of upstanding posts 24, extending upwardly from the planar upper surface of the patch. Each of the pedestals is formed with a cylindrical body 25 terminating in a slightly enlarged head 26, as shown in FIG. 5. The pedestal pairs are proportioned to receive an oxygen tube 30 therebetween, accompanied by a slight spreading apart of the heads 26. The bodies 25 of each such pair are spaced apart a distance about equal to the distance of the oxygen tube 30, shown in phantom in FIG. 5. When the tube 30 is inserted, it is retained by the heads 26 in the spaces between the pairs of posts against accidental dislodgement, but the tube may be freely rotated on its axis, and may be positioned longitudinally.
It will be seen in FIG. 3 that the pair of posts 22 are set at an angle to the pair of posts 24, such as an approximate 60� angle, so that the tube 30 enters the first pair 22 with a downward inclination and exits the second pair 24 with an upward inclination, with an intermediate section 32 of the tube curved therebetween. The posts are thus so arranged so as to divert the oxygen tube through an angle from its downward run into the patch from a rearward position with respect to the patient's head, to a somewhat upward direction, toward the nasal cavity. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tube 30 may terminate in an oxygen administering plug or nasal insert 40, which insert may be made in accordance with the teachings of the co-pending application, as identified above.
Thus, it is intended that the tube 30 enter with a downward inclination and exit with an upward inclination. The height of the post heads above the patch planar surface need not exceed the diameter of the tube.
The invention further includes provision by which the tube 30 may be locked in a preadjusted position, such as to provide a continuous and stable upward thrust of the insert 40, to prevent the same from gradually falling away from the nostril. This is accomplished by a fifth or central pedestal or post 44, located in the common central section 20, and positioned immediately above the relaxed position of the tube thereon, as shown in FIG. 3. The post 44 forms means over which the portion 32 of the tube may be looped as shown in FIG. 4, for locking the tube 30 in a preadjusted position on the patch 10.
When the tube is in the relaxed position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the oxygen tube may be adjusted both longitudinally and rotationally, to assist in the adjustment of the nasal tip or insert 40 in a comfortable position. Once the insert 40 is comfortable, the tube can then be locked in position simply by lifting the portion 32 thereof from its relaxed position below the post 44 and looping the same above the post 44 as shown in FIG. 4.
It is preferred to position the patch on the face substantially as shown in FIG. 1, with the downwardly depending petal 15 extending away from the eye and downwardly on the cheek. This petal may be conformed or bent slightly with respect to the center section, as may be the petals 12 and 14, to cause the patch to conform gently to the skin surface. If desired, the petal 15 may be preformed with an inward inclination so as to conform to the contour of the fall off of the lower cheek toward the jaw.
In a preferred embodiment, without intending to limit the scope of the invention, the maximum width of the patch may be in the order of 3.5 cm, and the individual petals may have a width in the order of 1.0 cm. The height of the patch, from top to bottom may be in the order of 2.0 cm. The pedestals or posts may extend above the surface in the order 0.675 cm with a spacing therebetween of 0.3 cm at the bodies 25 to receive a 0.3 mm diameter tube therebetween. While the invention is particularly adapted for use at the cheek prominence, a second patch may be attached substantially at the mastoid prominence, providing a second support of a tube 30, where desirable.
While the form of apparatus herein described constitutes a preferred embodiment of this invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to this precise form of apparatus, and that changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention which is defined in the appended claims.

I worked at Oshkosh Corporation as a contractor (More than a year)
I was fortunate to work with some great people at Oshkosh, and the pay was good for what I did as a temp. Great way to get back into the civilian work world, but still have some ties to the military through the vehicles.
I have no real gripes from my time working a Oshkosh, other than the commute from Neenah with the construction - but that's no fault of the company.
Advice to Management
If your temps are good, please continue to make an effort to hire them on. Lots of them would like to be hired on permanently.

Christmas gifts delivered to Veterans
Christmas came a little early for Veterans across the St John Valley. It's all part of a gift giving service to Veterans. This week gifts have been delivered to Veterans in Van Buren, Madawaska, Frenchville, and today; Fort Kent. News Source 8's Angela Christoforos has the story…
It was all smiles at Cross Winds residential care today as Veterans opened gifts from the American Legion Riders of Madawaska.
Jennifer Daigle, Director of Madawaska American Legion Riders Chapter 147 said, "This is our 6th year doing this, we're all Veterans and we're thanking our Veterans."
Each year the gift is different. This year it's an American Legion Riders fleece zip up. Over 60 Veterans from across the Valley were given the red and green fleece jackets.
"A lot of these veterans don't have family that comes and sees them and we come and see them and to see the joy in their eyes opening a simple Christmas gift, it's wonderful," said Daigle.
It's a simple gesture giving Veterans a special gift and a heartfelt thank you.
Veteran Claude Dumonde said, "I think that this is just terrific that they take the time to come here and honor us. (BIG SMILE)"
Veteran Patrick White said, "Makes me feel on top of the world."
Gifts were also delivered to Veterans at the Mercy Home in Eagle Lake today.

'I Want to Know Where My Daughter Is'- by Caroline Linton
Susana Trimarco has searched desperately for the past 11 years to find her daughter, believed to have been kidnapped and sold into slavery.
This week marks the 11th anniversary of the most terrible day of Susana Trimarco's life: the day her daughter, Marita de los Ángeles Verón, was abducted in their town in Argentina and forced into prostitution. Since that day Trimarco has tirelessly devoted herself to finding her daughter and bringing those who kidnapped her to justice—and helped hundreds of women and girls escape from lives of prostitution.
"I'm here to tell you this sad story," Trimarco said through a moderator. "I do not want this to happen to anyone else in the world what has happened to me."

Bloomberg-Columbia Cluelessness on Art
Bloomberg View is back this morning with the second installment of a column we posted about yesterday, about finance and art. From this second column, which is also by the chair of the department of religion at Columbia University, Mark Taylor: "Each week brings another account of a newly rich hedge-fund manager buying art at a ridiculously inflated price."
The prices may seem "ridiculously inflated" to Professor Taylor (though some might apply the same description to the $59,208 that Columbia says is the cost of attending for nine months in the 2011-2012 academic year). But perhaps not to those making the purchases. Further, it seems to me that at least some of the big money purchases in the art world in recent decades have been driven not by "newly rich hedge-fund managers" but rather by non-profit organizations like the Getty musuem, funded by an oil fortune, and the new Walton-funded museum in Arkansas, funded by the Walmart fortune. So much for Professor Taylor's theory that "finance capitalism" is ruining modern art. But why let the facts stand in the way of an opportunity to take a shot at a "newly rich hedge-fund manager"? Would Bloomberg News and the chairman of the Columbia Religion department prefer that art not be acquired by anyone "newly rich," but that there be some kind of rule limiting art purchases only to those whose families have been rich for a Columbia and Bloomberg-approved number of generations?
