After 14 weeks of deprivation, NBC is ready to use their super-satellites to beam Community back into our brains. What better way to celebrate this occassion than with 101 animated GIFs that highlight the show's wackiest and least-clothed moments? Besides actually meeting and hanging out with the cast and then becoming their best friends and getting into a conversation with creator Dan Harmon about 1980's action films. GIFs are definitely second to that. But did you really come here to complain?
Community returns tonight at 8pm on NBC.

If you are a user of Cellular South, be prepared for some sunny days ahead as the Unlocked HTC ( Desire ) is coming to you. While we all knew that the HTC Desire was going to make its presence felt through multiple regional carriers, this new Android device has been claimed by Cellular South. The HTC Desire is a wonderful device being quite similar to the Nexus One having HTC's Sense technology on top. With the HTC Desire, you have a device powered by a Snapdragon processor of 1GHz, having a 3.7 inch display screen. Fitted with a 5 MP camera and an AMOLED screen, the HTC Desire is equipped with Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities.
You can also be sure that the HTC Desire will be loaded with the latest version of Google's Android operating system as well as the Sense UI that allows for finer tweaks thereby making the mobile phone more pleasing to the eye. Says the chief operating officer of Cellular South, Kevin Hankins, "Everyone is very excited about our latest expansion together with the HTC Desire. With the Desire, users are guaranteed of a completely powerful touch screen mobile phone that can be used for downloading applications as well as sending and receiving emails. Android will now be taken to a completely new level allowing users to experience rich mobile web music, news and even video. They will be provided a common platform for expressing all their needs."
Although we are certain that the HTC Desire will make its way to U.S. Cellular, it has still not been decided when or how much the phone would be priced at. Irrespective of when it is launched or how much it costs, since HTC is planning on launching with U.S. Cellular, it is a sign that the company is doing well in American markets.

(a) Construction
No grant which the Administrator is authorized to make to any applicant for construction of sewage treatment works in any area in any State may be withheld, conditioned, or restricted by the Administrator on the basis of any requirement of this chapter except as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) Withholding, conditioning, or restriction of construction grants
The Administrator may withhold, condition, or restrict the making of any grant for construction referred to in subsection (a) of this section only if he determines that—

[1]
(3) the construction of such treatment works would create new sewage treatment capacity which—
(A) may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute to, directly or indirectly, an increase in emissions of any air pollutant in excess of the increase provided for under the provisions referred to in paragraph (2) for any such area, or
(4) such increase in emissions would interfere with, or be inconsistent with, the applicable implementation plan for any other State.
In the case of construction of a treatment works which would result, directly or indirectly, in an increase in emissions of any air pollutant from stationary and mobile sources in an area to which part D of subchapter I of this chapter applies, the quantification of emissions referred to in paragraph (2) shall include the emissions of any such pollutant resulting directly or indirectly from areawide and nonmajor stationary source growth (mobile and stationary) for each such area.

Our Kingdom For A Point Guard?
Myles said it perfectly last week: Chris Duhon simply isn't getting it done. His spotty and unreliable play is costing the Knicks dearly. There is no other player who has as much of a direct effect on the team's overall nightly performance than Duhon.
The NY Post agrees:
"Just as he did last winter and again earlier this season, Chris Duhon has fallen into a funk and taken the Knicks offense with him.
"He's got to get his legs back," D'Antoni said. "He loses confidence easily. He just needs to get over it. It's a tough period right now. It happened to him last year."
Duhon's problematic play is hard to ignore. Last year I wrote a post in defence of Duhon's second half play. I argued that as a career backup, his legs didn't know how to play a full season as a starter. I opined that at this time this year, things would be different — Duhon would remember his dip in production, and would work all offseason to make sure it didn't happen again.
Guess not.
So what do we do for today? Myles made a good point about giving Nate the ball. I am not Nate's biggest supporter, and I worry that after a couple of good games, Robinson would regress into his turnover-prone and defensive-less self. That said, Duhon can't go on this way, and I'm not sure the Knicks have any other realistic option. Toney Douglas hasn't gotten the burn for me to really argue why he is a better fit, although I'd surely back him if the coach made such a decision.
But even if inserting Nate as the starting PG makes sense for the short / long run in 2010, it is hard to imagine a guy who spent more than a dozen games in the coach's DNP doghouse strolling out as the quarterback of the future after this season. So, what to do we for tomorrow? Duhon can't be trusted (fool me twice…shame on me, right?). Nate is unlikely to be back in a Knicks jersey. Toney Douglas hasn't shined brightly enough in his limited play to be considered a general waiting in the wing.
So, where do Mike D and Donnie Walsh turn now? Where do they look for their future leader? What options out there are the most appealing? Without a draft pick, and with most major FAs filling other positions on the roster, I ask all of you — what can the Knicks do between now and next summer to sure up their PG situation for the next few years?

Certified Equipment List
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, under the authorization of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, administers a testing and certification program assuring commercial availability of respiratory protective devices which conform to the requirements of Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 84. NIOSH tests and certifies (or approves) respiratory protective devices, and purchases certified products on the open market to verify continued compliance with the requirements of the 42 CFR, Part 84.
Searchable Certified Equipment List
If you have comments or suggestions, please write to:
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

626 Cochrans Mill Road
Pittsburgh, PA 15236
Changes to the Certified Equipment List
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2002-144
As of March 31, 2002
Since the Certified Equipment List was released in printed copy on September 30, 1993, NIOSH has received numerous comments on the publication. NIOSH commissioned a survey of users and partners (including manufacturers, labor unions, safety directors, industrial hygienists, enforcement personnel, and others) to determine the best format for this document and essential information required on each device listed.
Several changes were made to the format based upon the survey results. These modifications include discontinuing abbreviations and acronyms. The model information returns as the Product Trade Name so that users can readily identify certified products from packaging and advertising brochures. An address, contact person, and phone number are provided for each approval-holding manufacturer. Hose length and pressure range information for supplied air respirators is still eliminated out of concern that the user may rely solely upon the Certified Equipment List instead of the Users Instruction Manual for this critical information. Because of modifications made from time to time by the respirator manufacturer, all respirators with the same certification number may not have the same pressure requirements and hose length options. Currently, the only accurate source for this information is the NIOSH approval label on older models and Users Instruction Manuals.
Since 1993, the Certified Equipment List has added over 5,100 approved devices so that the total list now includes over 7,100 products. Because of the document size and low utilization in the printed form, NIOSH is making this list available in electronic format. If you have comments or suggestions, please write to:

When the threesome pulled their catch out of the reservoir near the dam, the fish had two working mouths with teeth. Carey Seals said the fish, which he hooked through the top mouth using a night crawler for bait, will be preserved and mounted so the family can always remember their strange catch. Seals added that fishing has been great in Scofield and he caught his limit.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
As a discipline, history is the rational reconstruction of the past in terms of human thoughts, expressions, actions and experiences. Its special object is change over time.
The purpose of history is to seek knowledge of the truth about the human past and, through that study, understanding of human conduct.
History is a subject particularly appropriate to the University of Dallas, which defines its purpose in terms of the renewal of the Western heritage of liberal learning and the recovery of the Christian intellectual tradition. History provides a unique bridge between the two. As a discipline, it was created by the Greeks and taken up as an intellectual pursuit by the Romans, one of whom—Cicero—called it "The light of truth, the witness of time, the mistress of life." It represents the Greco-Roman cultural tradition which lies at the foundation of the Western heritage in an especially powerful way. History is also of particular relevance to the Judaeo-Christian tradition, which is predicated on the significance of events in time as revelatory of the relationship of man to God. As F. M. Powicke has written, "The Christian religion is a daily invitation to study history."

MILLINOCKET, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- The town of Millinocket is so rich in history, that it has now outgrown its own museum.
That's why members of the Millinocket Historical Society have been working to move it from its current location at the town's municipal building to an old apartment building on Central Street that the town purchased. Members say once finished they are hoping the new museum won't just preserve history but also attract visitors to the town.
"It's {Central Street} a tourism corridor to Baxter Park," said David Cyr, who is president of the Millinocket Historical Society, "so as a tourism corridor we would do better business wise if we could get people in here to donate to see our artifacts...it's a benefit to everybody."
The Millinocket Historical Society is still looking for donations to help the museum move to its new building. They can be sent to Millinocket Historical Society, PO Box 11, Millinocket, Maine 04462.
The museum is open on Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. It is located on the third floor of the Millinocket Municipal Building.

How do artists use everyday objects to explore the world around them?
Joseph Cornell constructed fantastic worlds by making collages of everyday elements, including found objects, printed text, photographs and drawings. Cornell foraged for his materials constantly and scoured bookstores, secondhand shops, and other public places. He organized them in an archive that he called his 'spare parts department.' By creating associations between the disparate items he collected, Cornell gave new meanings to otherwise ordinary materials.

Thanks for your support!
Thank you to Shawsheen Tec teachers and students for an awesome job on the library's new book and media return bin!
An Inforgraphic is a list of statistics or other facts presented in an aesthetically pleasing manner. This has become popular on the internet because of how intimidating a wall of text on a web page can be. Below you'll find a great example. It shows such things as the services libraries offered and where the money comes from to pay for said services!
Thank you to StateStats.org
for providing this infographic and other free web guides and tools.
The library has a special collection of books by and for U.S. Veterans. These include books about transitioning back to civilian life, veterans' benefits and personal stories by those who served in combat. Check them out and spread the word as we honor and support the men and women who have served in the armed services on Memorial Day.
Spring is here and it is a perfect time to visit one of the Massachusetts State Parks. The library's pass (available only on weekends) provides free parking. Reserve the pass and enjoy the long awaited warm weather.
You may have heard of Monster.com. Perhaps you've even heard of Indeed.com. But have you ever heard of Glassdoor.com? If not, allow us to change that.
So much of today's job searching is done online and Monster is a giant among sites. Yet, Glassdoor offers one feature that Monster is lacking: company reviews. Taking a page from the social media playbook, Glassdoor allows people to share their thoughts, specifically on their employers. This is an indisputable benefit to job searchers. Doing your homework on the company with which you have an interview is something that is often overlooked. Most interviewees (yours truly included) are a jumble of nerves when interviewing. So it's often forgotten that not only are you being interviewed by the employer but you're interviewing the employer as well. And what better way to help you with your interview questions than to get the scoop from someone who has worked there already.
For example, here's Best Buy's review page: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Best-Buy-Reviews-E97.htm
Glassdoor has the usual job postings, interview tips, and resume writing help as well. So you'll find all sorts of goodies when you're looking for that next job and your friendly neighborhood library is here to help.
If you click the Research and Learning button on the left side of the home page and then click the More Sources by Topic link, you'll be brought a page of links. Click Business to expand that section and you'll see the link to Glassdoor. We hope it will prove a useful site the next time you're looking for a job.

Upcoming games: Stars, December 13, 7:00 p.m.; @ Blues December 15, 8:00 p.m.; @ Coyotes, December 17, 8:00 p.m.
Dallas Stars (33 points, 3rd place Western Conference, 16-11-1)
Brad Richards' former squad will pay him a visit at Madison Square Garden for the first and only time this season. The Stars defeated the Kings 2-1 on Saturday without their star net minder. Kari Lethonen injured his groin two weeks ago against the Coyotes. Lehtonen at one point led the NHL with 13 victories and boasted a 2.34 goals-against average and a .926 save percentage. Rookie Richard Bachman made 26 saves in his first NHL start in goal. Andrew Raycroft has been shaky in Lethonen's absence with an overall record of 2-7. Leading point scorer Jamie Benn snapped a five game scoring drought with a goal in their latest victory. Goals haven't been easy to come by for the Stars. Winger Loui Eriksson hasn't scored a goal since November 23 and has just three points in his last eight games. The Stars allow about 33 shots per game on average, the most in the NHL. They are 5-4-2 in their last ten games. Without Lethonen, their backbone in net who isn't expected to return until after Christmas, the Rangers offense should take advantage.
St. Louis Blues (37 points, 5th place Western Conference, 17-9-3)
Ranked 7th out of 16 in the NHL.com's latest Power Rankings, the Blues have a good rhythm going. After a slow start that saw head coach Davis Payne pay the price, new coach Ken Hitchcock has steadied the ship. They are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Goaltender Brian Elliot, who started the season designated the backup to Jaroslav Halak, leads the NHL in goals against average (1.45), save percentage (.947) and shutouts (4). Elliot made 24 saves in Saturday's 1-0 win over the San Jose Sharks. Sophomore defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk scored the winning goal early on the powerplay. Shattenkirk leads the Blues' defensemen with 16 points and has posted a solid +7. Winger David Perron is returning to form after missing more than a year with a concussion. In four games, he has a goal and two assists. The Blues who have a three game winning streak to protect, should be refreshed when the Rangers come to town as they have a four day break between their last game.
Phoenix Coyotes (33 points, 7th place Western Conference, 15-11-3)
The Coyotes are clawing for a playoff spot amidst a tight point crowd at the lower echelon of the Western Conference. They lost their last two games back-to-back by a margin of 9-3. The Yotes are last in the NHL in power play goals for scoring just 10 on 92 opportunities. The 39-year-old winger Ray Whitney leads the team with 29 points along with right winger Radim Vrbata. Vrbata, who scored a team leading 14 goals, has four points in his last five games. Former Rangers' defenseman Michal Rozsival was activated off of injured reserve last week after missing 26 games with an upper body injury. When Ilya Bryzgalov left town for Philly this past summer, the Yotes had to find a new number one in net. They put their faith in and signed Mike Smith. Smith has been steady posting a 13-8-3 record with two shutouts. He's tied for fourth in the NHL in wins, though recently he has lost four of his last five games in net. The Coyotes have a busy week with back to back games against the Ducks and Oilers before the Rangers head to town.

Flora & Fauna
Last month's photo contest, "Flora & Fauna," drew entries from 46 different photographers. Readers can enjoy the breathtaking array of all "Flora & Fauna" entries in the online gallery at www.colliercitizen.com. This contest was by far the most popular among photographers and the most challenging for judges. Entries that included both flora (flowers) and fauna (animals) received greater weight. Had the theme been "Beautiful Blossoms," we would still be debating the winners. Of the 46 photographers, five were under the age of 17, proving it does not take years to develop a good eye. For his efforts, Rick Shackleton will receive a massage from Waterworks Total Rehab valued at $45 for his winning photograph of a ichneumon wasp on an alamanda flower. The theme for our next contest is "Canine Capers." Entries are due by Sept. 21. Please limit the number of entries to no more than three, preferably emailed as jpgs in the largest format available to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include name, address, contact number, brief caption information and camera type.

Fish Specialists
Waitrose has fish specialists in most of its branches who can advise on what fish to buy. Waitrose fish specialists are trained at London's Billingsgate Seafood Training School. Not only can they gut, clean and fillet fish, they also know how to cook every species we sell.
Cod and haddock
All of our fresh and frozen cod and haddock comes from Iceland and Norway and is certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.
Find out why all our fish is line-caught and sustainable, and how we make sure your fish is as fresh as possible.
Scottish salmon
Waitrose salmon comes from a small group of carefully selected farms based in the Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands and the Western Isles of Scotland. Each site is carefully located in high energy sites with strong tidal flows to ensure the highest welfare and minimise the impact on the environment. Strong tidal sites keep the seabed clean and also help encourage lean and fit fish, resulting in firmer flesh.
We have long-term working partnerships with our farmers. This allows for long-term planning and early adoption of practices that lead to improved quality and sustainability of the farming operation. To ensure the farm is having limited impact on the environment, submerged cameras are used to watch the fish feeding. This allows the farmer to ensure minimal, if any, feed is falling on to the seabed as this can cause pollution. The farmer can stop feeding the fish when he can see that feeding is slowing up. The latest feeder designs include features that prevent any food from falling on the seabed. On a six monthly basis the farmer will arrange for a survey to be carried out on the seabed around the site to assess the richness of the environment.
Site location is also very important to reduce the interaction between wild and farmed salmon and farms should be carefully located to minimise interaction with wild fish and every effort should be made to improve ways of working between farmers and anglers, through improved communication, transparency and collaboration projects.
Waitrose commitment to responsibly sourcing canned tuna
Waitrose fully supports the Greenpeace campaign to end the sale of tuna caught with the use of fish aggregation devices used in conjunction with purse seining. Waitrose will not introduce any own label or branded tuna products produced from tuna caught in such a way.
All Waitrose own label skipjack tuna is pole and line caught from Fish Aggregation Device free fisheries in the Maldives. Since April 2013 all the skipjack tuna used in our business, both canned and in salads and sandwiches, has been certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.
Anglesey Sea bass
Waitrose farmed Anglesey sea bass is farmed in probably one of the most advanced recirculation farms ever built and is situated close to Puffin Island on Anglesey. Located in an area of outstanding national beauty and special scientific interest it is very important that the farm has no negative environmental impact on the surrounding area.
The whole farm is housed in an insulated building to conserve heat and maintain a temperature of 22 to 24 degrees even in winter. A very high degree of water recirculation, typically 2-3% of the volume per day means that very little heat is wasted heating the water. In fact the heat generated by the fish swimming, the small amount of heat from the water pumps and the biological filter helps us maintain Mediterranean Sea temperatures even in Welsh winters.
Waitrose English Rainbow trout and Organic Brown are supplied by Trafalgar Fisheries perfectly situated in meadows adjoining the River Avon, just south of Salisbury.
The fish are reared at low stocking densities in gravel and earth ponds fed by the clear waters of the Hampshire Avon. The relationship with Trafalgar Fisheries and Waitrose has evolved over many years and is based on openness and trust.
Waitrose and Trafalgar Fisheries share the common aim of ensuring that all our fish are reared to the highest welfare standards with respect on the environment to produce great tasting food.

Developer Spacetime Studios, the company that is responsible for making the game Pocket Legends, a unique MMO mobile game that is increasing the expectations for other MMO games that attempt to make the jump to mobile devices. As of right now, Android has overtaken Unlocked BlackBerry cell phone such as Bold 9780, Torch 9800 unlocked, etc. what most people consider the most prestigious smart phone operating platform across the nation.
The company has beaten the odds. While most developers claim that the Android market and other mobile platforms do not give them enough options to compete with the top companies in the space. After some internal research, Spacetime Studios discovered that they make up to 50 percent more from their Android users when compared to the iOS market.
The ability for users to more easily purchase Android apps might be behind the spike when compared to iOS in iphone 4 unlocked. iOS does not have the easy to use platform that Google has brought to the table.
So while some developers are finding that they are unable to compete in the mobile gaming market given the current structure of app marketplaces, that does not mean that there are not other companies that are able to find the niche that they are looking for, especially with Android users which do seem to differ substantially with users from the iOS platform, both in how they use their devices but also in what their general interests are.
It will be interesting to see if other mobile gaming developers release their figures based on a by system basis. That could potentially shed more light on the industry as a whole. Instead o hearing these isolated negative remarks, it would be nice to know how the industry as a whole feels. It seems to be very dependant on the type of the game as well as the number of titles that the given country has going for it.

CRIMINAL POSSESSION WEAPON - MASSENA - Village police charged Brandon R. Graves, 21, and Danielle S. Jensen, who turned 17 this week, both of 224 Harper Road, Lisbon, each with two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance Thursday night. Graves was additionally ticketed for operation of a vehicle with no plate lamp.
They were arraigned Friday morning by Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall and, after consultation with the District Attorneys office, were sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $20,000 cash or $40,000 bond for Graves and $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond for Jensen.
Police said during the 11:26 p.m. Thursday traffic stop two loaded revolvers - a silver barrel, wooded handle Smith and Wesson .38 special and a black RG Industries .22 caliber - were found in the 2012 Ford Fusion being operated by Graves, with the serial number being obliterated on one of the weapons.
They said Graves was in possession of a small amount of Suboxone in his wallet, and Jensen possessed a cotton filter in her purse that tested positive for heroin. Jensen was additionally charged with criminal possession of a hypodermic needle.
In a statement she signed for police, Jensen said she and Graves, her boyfriend, had come to Massena to meet with Gerry Dissotelle Jr. and other people inside an apartment near the Rusty Wheel on Willow Street.
Gerry asked Brandon for the keys to the car and when we went to leave. Brandon gave Gerry the keys to our car and Gerry placed his air mattress and some shirts in the trunk of the car. I asked Gerry what it was and Gerry would not tell me, she said.
Jensen said that, after they were pulled over on Woodlawn Avenue for no plate lamp, Graves consented to a search of the vehicle and police found a bong and guns, along with bullets in her purse.
When I was placed in the back of the police car, I removed a needle from my pants and placed it down in the floor, she wrote in her statement.
Graves had been picked up on a warrant for second-degree burglary last month following a traffic stop in the village.
He had been stopped by police for operating a vehicle with a suspended license but ended up facing more serious charges when police determined there was a warrant for his arrest on a second-degree burglary count.
Village police initially charged Graves, then listing an Ober Street, Massena, address, in mid-July with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and ticketed him for operation of an unregistered motor vehicle. While they were executing the arrest warrant, they also found he was in possession of a needle and charged him with possession of a hypodermic needle.
The felony burglary count alleges that at about 7 p.m. Sept. 4, 2012 Graves was unlawfully inside Jacob J. Mitchells residence, 41 Belmont St., and got into a physical altercation and attempted to steal Mr. Mitchells personal property.
In a statement he signed for police, Mr. Mitchell said Graves came to his house at about 7 p.m. Sept. 4, 2012.
He just walked in the front door and came up to my room. He has come over a few other times in the past. He came in to my room and started having a conversation with me, he wrote.
While there, Mr. Mitchell said Graves asked him if wanted to buy some drugs from him. Mr. Mitchell said he told him no numerous times and Graves got visibly angry.
At this point I stood up from my computer chair and told him I was not gonna buy any dope off him, and I wanted him out of my house. He told me he wasnt going to leave so I pushed him. He came back at me and kinda bear hugged me, and we fell onto my futon. I grabbed Brandon by the neck and told him he had five seconds to get out of my house, Mr. Mitchell said.
He said he let Graves get up and Mr. Mitchell said he raised his fist to him.
He told me that if I hit him I was dead. I told him to leave again. As he turned around to leave he tried to grab my X Box. I pushed him away from the X Box and as I did this he grabbed my friend Travis Casselmans cell phone off my dresser. He headed down the stairs with it ,and Travis cornered him and told him he wasnt leaving with his phone, he told police.
At this point, he said, Graves threw the phone at Mr. Casselman and, as he was leaving the residence, kicked the screen door open, according to Mr. Mitchell. Graves also threw rocks at the house before taking off in his car, he said.
I contacted the police and after they showed up and after I spoke with them Brandon came back. He showed up in a gray SUV, full of people. They pulled right in on the lawn and got out (and) started pounding on the door, he said.
Mr. Mitchell said he contacted police again and the group left before the police arrived at the scene.

Road riding is tough enough without having to compromise on quality. The Rapha range uses only the finest materials, components and detailing to create exceptional apparel and accessories.
Every Rapha product is conceived and developed by active road riders. The Rapha range combines the latest technology with a host of rider-inspired features, each carefully developed to make every ride more rewarding.
Rapha's style is classic and understated. From the tailored fit of Rapha jerseys to the pared down styling of Rapha gilets and jackets, every item is designed to be as elegant as it is flattering.
Rapha branding is discreet. We include only the highest quality fabrics and trims and don't use the outside of our products to advertise branded components. Unlike most clothing brands in the sport, Rapha believes performance technology should speak for itself. What you will find is an engaging story tucked away in most Rapha products and which connects the garment to the sport.
Product testing
To develop the very best cycling clothes and accessories, detailed and authoritative product testing is vital. All Rapha products are tested extensively in the field, through dozens of hours of hard riding and racing. The Rapha Continental riders test Rapha products in the extreme temperatures and demanding terrain of the greatest routes in North America, while the Rapha Condor professional riders test Rapha products on all training rides and under race conditions.
Responsibility through Quality
Rapha's commitment to quality extends to all aspects of design and production and Rapha's unique network of manufacturing partners has been chosen with the utmost care. Rapha works closely with skilled craftsmen around the world and has developed long-standing relationships to ensure that not only are Rapha products produced in a responsible way but that they also continue to meet and exceed the exacting standards demanded by serious road riders. Rapha use only the finest fabrics and components in their apparel and accessories, sourced from around the world and from suppliers with a reputation for excellence.
In the Far East, for example, Rapha's manufacturing partners offer some of the most technologically advanced machinery and processes in the world. Offering superior levels of quality control at every stage of production, the laser cutting and bonding techniques they have developed enable Rapha to provide unrivalled levels of finishing in its performance roadwear.
In Italy, Rapha works with a highly specialist mill that produces the finest stretch fabrics available, including the Roubaix fabrics used in Rapha shorts, tights, arm and knee warmers.
In the UK, our leather gloves are hand crafted in Somerset, expertly cut and stitched by a family firm with more than 60 years experience. Whether investing in new technology or trusting to age-old craftsmanship, Rapha visits all our partners on a regular basis to ensure that we deliver products of the very highest quality.
Note on merino sourcing
Merino wool is a staple of many Rapha products, from 100% merino jerseys and base layers to merino-blend technical fabrics such as Sportwool. A luxurious and versatile natural fibre, merino is not only extremely soft and comfortable but also highly breathable. This means it helps regulate body temperature in both hot and cold conditions. The merino wool used in Rapha products is ethically sourced and certified 'non-mulesed' – in some cases it can even be traced back to the farms in New Zealand where it was produced.
Mulesing is a controversial procedure in which strips of skin are removed from around the breech (buttocks) of a merino sheep to protect the animal from 'myiasis'. More commonly known as blowfly, this is an infestation of parasites attracted by the urine and faeces that build up in the breech area. If untreated, the infection can lead to septicaemia and ultimately death. Though undoubtedly effective in combating blowfly, animal rights campaigners claim mulesing causes unnecessary suffering, a view endorsed by an increasing number of wool farmers.
Compliance Statement
Rapha is committed to delivering the finest cycling clothing and accessories in the world and, as we continue to expand, we want to achieve this without compromising either the people we work with or the planet in general. When sourcing new suppliers, or auditing existing ones, we work to uphold the principles outlined by the International Labour Association. These principles are designed to ensure freedom of employment, sound working conditions, and prevent discrimination in the workplace and the use of child labour. We are aware of the environmental issues likely to affect our global supply chains, and are working towards minimising our environmental impact.
The following links explain some of the initiatives our key suppliers are involved in:

One fan's reaction to mini-camp [12:02 PM]
TBD reports: 'I watched the Bills practice yesterday in the fieldhouse. The Bills are doing drills that I've never seen before.

Williams files upbeat progress report from minicamp [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I wouldn't say it was a great three days, but it was a pretty good three days," Williams said as workouts for veterans and rookies ended Sunday at Buffalo Bills Fieldhouse. "We have a better understanding about how we want to practice. It's not completely the way we want to practice yet, but the tempo is excellent."'
Slate clean for Hicks [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The fourth-year offensive tackle seemed to be on the fast track to stardom with the Buffalo Bills after a solid first year as a starter in 1999. But he quickly fell out of favor with the coaching staff last season and eventually lost his job to Marcus Spriggs. Even undrafted free agent Jon Carman was taking snaps from Hicks toward the end of the year.'

Several sophomores expected to break out in 2001 [11:41 PM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'Rookie coach Gregg Williams wants more speed in his Buffalo Bills defense, and free safety Travares Tillman could provide that element plus some blitzing ability. Tillman started the final four games of the regular season in place of the injured Keion Carpenter a year ago. It won't be an upset if Carpenter doesn't get his job back.'
A. Smith gets second chance [11:36 PM]
Fox reports: 'Judge (who is a good judge of character, excuse the pun) thinks he'll be Buffalo's starting back this year.'
If the Bills were truly Bill's [11:32 PM]
TBD reports: 'I always wondered why the Bills were called the Bills, if most of the players on the team weren't actually named "Bill" (or William). So, I have outlined which players SHOULD be on the Bills for the 2001 season.'
Robertson taken by Bills after 1 year at Hinds [5:29 PM]
Vicksburg Post reports: 'Robertson transferred to Hinds for academic reasons in 2000 and collected 38 solo tackles, 22 assists, nine sacks and nine other tackles for a loss as the Eagles rode a dominant defense to an 11-1 finish and a state championship.'

Salisbury Post reports: '"Hey man, I'm a Bill," Peterson gushed. "Yeah, man! A Bill! I'm a Buffalo Bill!" It was a bit overwhelming for a kid from Clinton, N.C. who didn't even play his first season of football until his junior season in high school.'
Peterson to Bills; Lockhart to Jaguars [4:58 PM]
Salisbury Post reports: 'When the last of the 246 picks was called, Peterson found himself in a recruiting war as a free agent between Miami and Buffalo. He said he was leaning toward Miami and the warm weather until talking with his agent, Joe Linta..."Miami had five defensive tackles on the roster and they were only keeping five. Buffalo has only two defensive tackles. So that was our best bet."'

- How to Read a Study Record
The PBD are a rare group of inherited disorders due to the failure to form functional cellular peroxisomes. Most patients have progressive hearing and visual loss, leading to deafness and blindness, as well as neurological deterioration. There are no therapies for this disorder. A misfolded protein with residual function, PEX1-Gly843Asp, represents one third of all mutant alleles. Using patient cell lines with this mutation, we reported the recovery of peroxisome functions by treatment with Betaine, acting as a nonspecific chemical chaperone for the misfolded PEX1 protein. Betaine, or trimethylglycine, is a Health Canada and FDA approved orphan drug for the treatment of homocystinuria and is used by us safely and regularly in genetic medicine. We will perform a 6 month pilot study with 12 patients to test the hypothesis that Betaine, at recommended doses, can recover peroxisome biochemical functions in blood.
Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder (PBD)
Drug: Betaine

|Study Start Date:
|March 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|June 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Betaine
Betaine (Cystadane®), 6 g/day in children less than 30 kg in 3 divided doses (2 g, 3 times daily) , and 12 g/day in children over 30 kg, in 4 divided doses (3 g, 4 times daily).
Betaine will be given orally or through gastrostomy tube
|Drug: Betaine
Detailed Description:
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD) are a group of inherited conditions caused by faulty assembly of peroxisomes, structures located inside cells that regulate levels of important fats and lipids in the body. When there is faulty peroxisome assembly, as in PBD, these important fats and lipids either accumulate or are not made. These changes result in abnormalities of organ formation that a child is born with, such as changes in bone, brain and eye formation. There is no specific treatment for these disorders, and management is supportive. In order to complement existing supportive therapies, physicians and researchers are still actively looking for new treatments acting on the root cause of PBD: the peroxisome function. To identify drugs that help recover peroxisome function a group of scientists have developed a test to be used in laboratories, aiming at reviewing the activity of the large number of potential treatments.
Using this test, they have uncovered that Betaine can improve the function of the peroxisome, when the defect is caused by a PEX1-Gly843Asp mutation, and as such may improve the overall health of child suffering from PBD.
Betaine is a medication already available as a powder for oral solution, for another rare disease. It is approved in many countries, including Health Canada for Canada and the Food and Drug Administration for the USA. Paediatric genetic physicians are used to prescribing this medication and know it well.
At the current stage of scientific knowledge, it is a critical next step to evaluate the benefit of betaine in children having a PBD due to a PEX1-Gly843Asp mutation, to ensure that the medication is safe and to measure the level of improvement of the function of the peroxisome.
Thus, the principal objective of the study is to determine the improvement in the key peroxisome functions (plasma very long chain fatty acid profiles red cell plasmalogen levels, plasma pipecolic acid levels and plasma bile acid profiles). Another objective is to measure the growth of your child and his / her development.

The federal government's surveillance bandwagon is getting crowded. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the latest to jump on, claiming that its agents do not need a warrant to read "taxpayers'" e-mails.
According to documents obtained from the IRS as a result of a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the tax-collecting behemoth believes that Americans have "generally no privacy" when it comes to the information included in any electronic communication from e-mail to Facebook chats and direct messages exchanged on Twitter.
These forms of communication are not protected by that expectation of privacy granted to other aspects of their personal lives; thus IRS agents need not petition a judge for the right to snoop into the content of these communications.
This unbelievable, though not now unique, interpretation of the right of Americans "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, was set out in an IRS Search Warrant Handbook now in the possession of the ACLU.
Specifically, the guidelines provided to agents in the handbook state that "emails and other transmissions generally lose their reasonable expectation of privacy and thus their Fourth Amendment protection once they have been sent from an individual's computer."
Surrendered as a result of an ACLU Freedom of Information Act request, the IRS handbook was drafted by the office of chief counsel for the Criminal Tax Division.
In a statement posted on an ACLU blog, attorney Nathan Wessler refuted the IRS' opinion of the Fourth Amendment's protections:
Let's hope you never end up on the wrong end of an IRS criminal tax investigation. But if you do, you should be able to trust that the IRS will obey the Fourth Amendment when it seeks the contents of your private emails. Until now, that hasn't been the case. The IRS should let the American public know whether it obtains warrants across the board when accessing people's email. And even more important, the IRS should formally amend its policies to require its agents to obtain warrants when seeking the contents of emails, without regard to their age.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
In a year where the county dedicated a brand new $75,000 County Courthouse, and the town of Colton almost burned to the ground, another event came as a blow to the area that hit at its heart.
On June 22, 1910, a fire was discovered in the attic of the Rio Grande Depot in Price and within a couple of hours it had burned to the ground.
"Where the building stood yesterday is this morning a pile of ashes and charred timbers, iron and debris," stated that Eastern Utah Advocate in its June 23 issue.
The fire started when an east bound coal steam locomotive buzzed by the depot heavily loaded and working very hard throwing out embers. One of those embers lodged in the structures shingles on the northeast side of the building and that is where the fire began.
The fire could have been much worse though. A hotel (the Clarke), Dumayne's Saloon and Restaurant, and the Lowenstein Store (general merchandise) were nearby but were saved from damage. A number of train cars were parked by the station, but were quickly pulled away. The cars contained merchandise of all kinds.
"Luckily for the railroad company and adjoining properties owners the wind was favorable or the entire western end of town might have gone," stated the Advocate.
The fire destroyed the offices of the railroad and burned about 500 letters and packages that were bound to be headed east.
At the time a fire department in the area was just about non-existent. It was composed pretty much of untrained volunteers. The other paper in town at the time, The Carbon County News, stated that hose stated that the men running the hoses saved the property around the station, not the wind.
"Soon after the fire was discovered the residents began to come out to see the fire until nearly all )the people in town) were present," said the News. "When it was learned that a car of giant powder was in the warehouse just east of the depot, including a lot of dynamite for mining purposes, some of the visitors were ready to take a walk up the railroad a few miles. But braver men continued to throw water on the flames until it was sufficiently low that there was no longer danger of the explosives becoming entangled in the flames."
The News estimated the loss at between $2-3,000 at the time which would translate into between $50-70,000 today.

Publisher Comments:
The newest tour de force starring Thursday Next in the New York Times bestselling series
The Bookworld's leading enforcement officer, Thursday Next, has been forced into a semiretirement following an assassination attempt, returning home to Swindon and her family to recuperate.
But Thursday's children have problems that demand she become a mother of invention: Friday's career struggles in the Chronoguard, where he is relegated to a might-have-been; Tuesday's trouble perfecting the Anti-Smote shield, needed in time to thwart an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth; and the issue of Thursday's third child, Jenny, who doesn't exist except as a confusing and disturbing memory.
With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, and a call from the Bookworld to hunt down Pagerunners who have jumped into the Realworld, Thursday's convalescence is going to be anything but restful as the week ahead promises to be one of the Next family's oddest.
"Fforde (One of Our Thursdays is Missing) continues to show that his forte is absurdist humor in his seventh crime thriller starring Thursday Next, a member of the Literary Detectives division of Special Operations in an alternate-universe Britain. This time, it's 2004, and Next is about to have a crowded week, even by her standards. As she puts it, it 'began with a trip into Swindon in order to find myself a job and ended with a pillar of cleansing fire descending from the heavens, a rethink on the Wessex Library Service operating budget, and my son shooting Gavin Watkins dead.' Meanwhile, Britain is attempting to manage a stupidity surplus: 'he nation's stupidity — usually discharged on a harmless drip feed of minor bungling — had now risen far beyond the capacity of the nation to dispose of it in a safe and sensible fashion.' Toast has become the newest fad food, spawning a popular chain of topless toast bars known as Tooters. Such details help flesh out this endearingly-bizarre fantasy world limited only by Fforde's impressive imagination. Agent: Will Francis, Janklow & Nesbit U.K. (Oct. 2)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"It's easy to be delighted by a writer who loves books so madly." The New York Times
"Impressive, and arguably Fforde's best work to date." The Denver Post
"As always, Fforde makes this wacky world perfectly plausible, elucidating Ffordian physics with just the right ratio of pseudoscientific jargon to punch lines. It's a dazzling, heady brew of high concept and low humor, absurd antics with a tea-and-toast sensibility that will appeal to fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse alike. Fforde is ffantastic!" Booklist (starred review)
"Strap in and hang on tight....Another winner for fans and lovers of sf, time travel, puns, allusions, and all sorts of literary hijinks." Library Journal (Starred review)
"Jasper Fforde fans, rejoice! The Woman Who Died a Lot, the seventh installment in his Thursday Next series, delivers all the imagination, complexity and laughs we've come to expect from Fforde and his book-hopping, butt-kicking heroine. The Woman Who Died a Lot brings together the charming lunacy and intricate plotting that have enthralled Fforde's readers over the years." Shelf Awareness
"In Misery, Stephen King compares the euphoric feeling writers experience in creative bursts to 'falling into a hole filled with bright light.' Avid readers also know that feeling: A good story temporarily erases the world. British novelist Jasper Fforde has expanded on King's simile in a wonderful seven-book series of novels featuring Thursday Next. Enormously knowledgeable about literary history, Fforde scatters nuggets for nerdy readers like me. By the end, all of Fforde's myriad particles of plot, accelerated by his immense skill and narrative sense, collide, producing pyrotechnics and a passel of new particles to propel his next tale. I love the Thursday Next books, and when a new one appears, I don't fall but leap into this bibliophile's Wonderland." The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"This is the proverbial madcap lighthearted romp, full of hijinks, parody, and puns. Jasper Fforde does it well. It's safe to say that if you enjoy that particularly British, Douglas Adams-style absurd delivery of wry observations, you'll get a kick out of this one." New York Journal of Books
"The Welsh writer Jasper Fforde's wildly inventive books defy easy description — more accurately, they mercilessly mock the concept of easy description. Are they mysteries? Outrageous parodies of literary classics? Science fiction? Absurdist humor? Gleeful mashups of all the above?" [The Woman Who Died a Lot is] still big, big fun, with enough in-jokes to keep anyone snickering for a long time — especially English Lit geeks." The Seattle Times
About the Author
Jasper Fforde traded a varied career in the film industry for staring vacantly out of the window and arranging words on a page. He lives and writes in Wales. The Eyre Affair was his first novel in the bestselling "Thursday Next" series. He is also the author of the "Nursery Crime" series.
