Product Technologies:
- Lifetime Warranty: As an American company, American Standard faucets are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and stainless steel drain cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard bathroom faucets the industry's longest lasting. To back this up, all American Standard faucets are covered under a lifetime warranty.
- Indestructible Finishes: Through employing only the best finishing practices, such as physical vapor deposition, American Standard faucet finishes are some of the strongest in the industry. When the finish is actually incorporated into the faucet, rather than a coating on the outside, the result is a flawless appearance that eliminates tarnishing, pitting, and peeling while hiding scratches. For this reason, American Standard faucet finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty.

American-Standard will provide, free of charge, at it's sole option, replacement part(s) or product (or if no longer available, a comparable product) to replace those which have proven defective in materials or workmanship. Proof of purchase (original sales receipt) from the original consumer purchaser must be made available to American-Standard for all limited warranty claims. This limited warranty is non transferable. It does not apply in the event of product damage due to the use of other than genuine American-Standard replacement parts, installation error, abuse, misuse, or improper care and maintenance (whether performed by a plumber, contractor, service provider or member of the purchaser's household). The limited warranty excludes damage due to aggressive air or water conditions, or harsh or abrasive cleaners and/or materials. This limited warranty excludes all industrial, commercial and business usage, whose purchasers are hereby extended a two year limited warranty (with the exception of solenoid valves and other electronic components which carry a one year limited warranty) applying to all other terms of this limited warranty except duration. This limited warranty does not cover labor charges incurred and/or damages sustained in installation, repair or replacement, nor incidental or consequential damages, all of which are expressly disclaimed. This limited warranty is applicable only to American-Standard faucets manufactured after June 1, 1996 and installed in the United States and/or Canada.

The St. Louis Cardinals split their two game series with the Chicago Cubs winning a back and forth game Wednesday afternoon after losing the night before. The Cardinals return home to begin a weekend series with the surprising Colorado Rockies who were not expected to do well this year but have played excellent baseball so far this season. The Cardinals have always played the Rockies well at Busch Stadium and hopefully that trend will continue.
The Kansas City Royals lost two out of three to the Baltimore Orioles winning the final game of the series thanks to a couple of long home runs. The Royals return home to start a weekend series with the New York Yankees if there are enough healthy Yankees to field a team. The once mighty Yankees are having a hard time keeping their ancient roster healthy enough to make it on the field for each game. See what happens when you sign players to long term money contracts and then their bodies break down?
The St. Louis Blues suffered a very tough overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night at the Scott Trade Center. The Blues needed to win game 5 in my opinion in order to be able to go on to win their series with the Kings. It's going to be an uphill battle now with the Kings leading 3 games to 2 and game 6 being in LA. I'm afraid I don't like the Blues chances as the Kings seem to be playing with more and more confidence while the Blues have been beaten and battered by a very physical Kings team.
NASCAR is in Darlington to race on one of the legendary tracks on the circuit. It will be interesting to see how Danica Patrick and some of the younger drivers who aren't used to the track at Darlington perform in Saturday night's race.
As mentioned in Wednesday blog the KHS track teams head to Mexico on Saturday for the district track meet. The boys track team should have several top finishers especially in the distance events where Andrew Gordon has ran exceptionally well all year. The relay teams have also come on as of late. The girls have perhaps the top 4 by 800 relay team in the state and are also very strong in the hurdles and the field events. I would not be at all surprised if the KHS girls track team won the district by a comfortable margin while the boys should be at or near the top as well.
The KHS girls soccer team continue their excellent season as districts begin in Kirksville on Saturday and continue throughout next week.
The KHS baseball team has the weekend off before beginning district play in Fulton next week.
We'll be back on Monday with a review of all this weekend's sports action and a look ahead to next week as spring sports move into post season play. Please continue to check out all the blogs on this site and remember that your comments are always welcome.
Have a terrific weekend!

It's spelled out right there in the rulebook, the Maple Leafs tough guy should sit for three or 10 games.
The lack of a suspension to Colton Orr for shoving a linesman is wrong on so many levels, it's tough to know where to begin. OK, it's not that difficult.

After being honored for his past 20 years of service at The Hockey News, editor Jason Kay reflects on some of the most memorable stories.
I had the honor the other day of being recognized by our company for 20 years served at The Hockey News. The celebration gave me reason to pause and count my many professional blessings.
by Jason Kay - October 16, 2009 10:35 AM UTC
Toronto's slow start only amplifies why acquiring the young sniper from Boston was made from a position of impatience.
It's enough to make Maple Leaf haters everywhere rejoice. Fans of the most beloved and reviled NHL franchise are in a hellacious panic over the team's horrid start.

All's well in Mizzou... a great year for hockey books... Buffalo ownership blues... Koivu's new duds... and more.
Random thoughts on a random Friday in October… • Chicago, Boston, Montreal, the Rangers, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have had their turns in recent years to the be the feel-good story among the NHL's "Original 12"TM.
by Jason Kay - October 2, 2009 10:10 AM UTC
Of course not, but the Avs recent struggles on the ice and in the stands shows the importance of winning when it comes to capturing fans.
After a dreadful off-season, opening night was a welcome respite for the NHL, stocked with compelling storylines, entertaining matches, a bounty of goals, hits and highlight-reel saves.

When news broke that the union was parting ways with its executive director, a lot of pundits jumped to conclusions without knowing all the facts.
When the NHL Players' Association mysteriously fired Paul Kelly last week, we were left with a cliff-hanger of "Who Shot J.R.?" proportions.
by Jason Kay - September 4, 2009 11:44 AM UTC
If the union decides public opinion is important, they will opt for a new leader similar to Paul Kelly; if not, a leader similar to Bob Goodenow could be hired.
A smoking gun or a smokescreen? After several days of mysterious silence in the wake of Paul Kelly's firing, the Globe and Mail reported Thursday the former NHL Players' Association executive director had allegedly been caught reading the transcript of a confidential meeting between the union's advisory board and its executive committee that addressed Kelly's leadership.

Even though hockey is great how it is, it's our duty to look out for its future and continue to improve the product.
I've got a confession. I actually like the NHL brand of hockey pretty much the way it is. No foolin'. This epiphany came to me as I started to inventory the various changes I've advocated during my nearly eight years as editor-in-chief of The Hockey News.

What happens when you mix hockey, music and a virtual awards ceremony? A fun summer blog looking at some of the best and worst of the world on ice.
Due to popular demand, a.k.a. a deadline, we bring you the Fannies, online version. What are the Fannies, you ask? Why, they're my off-the-beaten-track honors for remarkable/dubious distinctions, named for popular musicians and songs, of course.

A new bid to buy the Coyotes doesn't include moving the team, but it does involve them playing a few home games abroad.
As ideas go, it's creative, somewhat provocative, for some even emotive. For many in the hockey world, though, it's simply a negative.
by Jason Kay - July 25, 2009 10:32 AM UTC
With a little more than three months between final whistle and puck drop, there's lots to do both in the NHL and THN worlds.
It may be a stretch to call it an anniversary, but it is noteworthy that 45 years ago, the NHL, for the final time, concluded its season in April.

Should We Abandon Hope?
Hope: We hear it all the time. Heck, we say it all the time: "I hope I get the job!" or "I hope I make the cut!" or "I hope things work out!" The word "hope" adorns T-shirts, jewelry and bumper stickers everywhere. Our president even based an entire campaign on the notion.
So, hoping … is that all we've got?

Roger vs. Roddick 2012
Roger will be squaring off in an exhibition match against Andy Roddick at Madison Square Garden on March 5th, 2012. The two will be facing against each other in a match over three sets, which has been part of the annual BNP Paribas Showdown exhibition.
Both players have clashed 25 times in past with Roger leading the contest 22-3 against the American former No.1. They have battled four times in grand slam finals, three in Wimbledon and one at the US Open, with our 16 times champ winning all four encounters. The best grand slam final encounter between the two goes back to Wimbledon 2009, where Roger defeated Andy in a thrilling tie set victory 5-7, 7-6(6), 7-6(5), 3-6 and 16-14.
Earlier in the evening of March 5th the crowd will be able to enjoy an exhibition-match between Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki.
Tickets will be on sale from October 3rd 10:00 am. See www.thegarden.com for more information.
I really want you to preserve your energy so you can peak for the slams.
You don't need the money, you need points!
Maybe play a small tournament to find some momentum or confidence.
Hope you rethink this.
Always love ya, Dear Roger.

They come to your rescue when you need it the most, but now they need some rescuing themselves.
Many associate the Red Cross with big disasters like hurricanes...but most of their funds go to small disasters, mainly house fires.
Conditions are fanning flames across the region.
It takes about $700 to $800 on average to get a fire victim and their family back on their feet for a couple of days. Multiply that by 43--that's how many fires have already happened this year--and you can see how a budget that started at $60,000 is now almost gone.
Valerie Jordan walks into a home she barely recognizes.
A mangled piece of metal covered in insulation used to be one of Valerie's most prized possessions.
"Now I can't bake anything," she says.
Valerie was even working on a cake the night before the fire climbed up to the attic and destroyed everything in its path.
"I couldn't say anything...it took me a long time to get the few little things I had for it be gone so quickly," she says.
Knowing her insurance company would help her get back on her feet, she told the fire marshal she didn't need help from Red Cross.
That was before she found out her agent was out of town.
"They gave me hotel for three days and clothes and food voucher so the girls could go to school next day," says Valerie.
But the same help Valerie had may not be there for the next victim.
The Red Cross disaster budget is disappearing fast.
"We're at 43 since January 1," says Kathleen Kosmoski, executive director of the Augusta Red Cross. "In January alone we've seen 26, so we're averaging one a day."
That's one house fire a day--spread across 11 counties in Georgia.
The Augusta Red Cross even helped a family of four across the state border, just outside of North Augusta.
Their house went up in flames just four days before Valerie's.
"That's where most of our money goes, is to help people with single family fires. It is a silent disaster but that's what we respond to most frequently," says Kosmoski.
Money you never think you'll need...until it happens to you.
"They think it's not them, 'it wouldn't be me', and you never know, it might not be you today, tomorrow, but next week it might be your turn and you're going to want all the help you can get," says Valerie.
With 4 months to go in their budget year, the Red Cross is down to about $11,000…money that will be used up quickly if these fires continue.
So how can you help?
You can send your donations to the Augusta address at 1322 Ellis Street, or you can call them at 724-8481.
The American Red Cross helped nearly 67,000 families who fell victim to house fires last year.
That's 92 percent of all Red Cross disasters.
The Augusta chapter responded to 189 house fires, helping 484 families.

About the Book
"Witty, smart, and sharp as a stake….Tongue in cheek, a bit naughty, and unputdownable, Jane Austen: Blood Persuasion has a brilliance that Ms. Austen would wholly appreciate!"
—Colleen Gleason
The delicious adventures of Jane Austen, vampire, continue! Janet Mullany follows up her delightful vampiric romp, Jane and the Damned, with Jane Austen: Blood Persuasion—pitting the Immortal author against a host of murderous creatures and an annoying ex-lover who intends to hound plucky Jane for all eternity, as she races to prevent an impending Undead civil war. Now fans of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies have more wicked fun to sink their fangs into!
It is 1810, and the Damned are out of favor—banished from polite society. Jane Austen's old undead friends have become new neighbors, raising hell in her tranquil village just in time to interrupt Jane's work on what will be her masterpiece. Suddenly Jane's niece is flirting dangerously with vampires, and a formerly respectable spinster friend has discovered the forbidden joys of intimate congress with the Damned (and is borrowing Jane's precious silk stockings for her assignations). Writing is simply impossible now, with murderous creatures prowling the village's once-peaceful lanes. And with the return of her vampire characteristics, a civil war looming between factions of the Damned, and a former lover who intends to spend eternity blaming her for his broken heart, Jane is facing a very busy year indeed.

Third Annual World Focus on Autism
For the third year in a row at the start of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, first spouses and dignitaries from around the globe assembled today for the Third Annual World Focus on Autism, hosted by Autism Speaks, the world's largest autism research and advocacy organization. Mrs. Ban Soon-taek, wife of the U.N. Secretary-General and Hosts Suzanne and Bob Wright of Autism Speaks, were joined by Co-hosts Dee and Tommy Hilfiger and more than 10 first spouses to discuss solutions to combat the global crisis of autism.
The international coalition in attendance represented a wide array of countries. The participation of the first spouses demonstrated a striking endorsement of global efforts to raise autism awareness. The group joined together for a Q & A session with world-class experts from the scientific community and discussed international solutions to raise global awareness and promote research into this non-discriminative disorder.
Fashion magnate, Tommy Hilfiger, expressed support for Autism Speaks by saying, "My wife Dee and I are delighted to be participating and lending our support to this cause. Autism prevalence is rising here and around the globe at an alarming rate. We will do whatever we can to help with this fight."
In her opening remarks, Mrs. Ban Soon-taek welcomed the international group on behalf of her husband U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon stating, "Autism is so personal but also so global. The United Nations is proud to be part of the international response… Last April, we marked World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD). I was privileged to take part in this massive social movement for solidarity."
In the wake of Autism Speaks' wildly successful autism awareness effort in celebration of WAAD, "Light It Up Blue," in which more than 200 iconic landmarks, airports, bridges, sports arenas, museums around the world were illuminated in blue lights on the evenings of April 1 and 2, 2010, Suzanne Wright, Autism Speaks Co-founder, said "the world can expect to be bathed in blue" in 2011 as all of the attending first spouses agreed to participate and expand the program in their countries.
Other speakers at the World Focus on Autism included Geri Dawson, Ph.D., Autism Speaks' Chief Science Officer, Andy Shih, Ph.D., Autism Speaks' Vice President of Scientific Affairs, Dr. Liri Berisha, President of the Albanian Children's Foundation and wife of the Albanian Prime Minister. Other prominent attendees included Mrs. Chantal Biya, First Lady of Cameroon; Mrs. Elsie Christofias, First Lady of Cyprus; Mrs. Rosa Elena de Lobo, First Lady of Honduras; Mrs. Eloise Gonsalves, Spouse of the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and Grenadines; Mrs. Maja Ivanova, First Lady of the Republic of Macedonia; Mrs. Mathato Mosisili, First Lady of Lesotho; Mrs. Rosella Nestor King, First Lady of St. Lucia; Mrs. Valeria Toribiong, First Lady of Palau; and Mrs. Lilita Zatlere, First Lady of Latvia.

I'm so happy to see Tommy Hilfiger out there in support. I love his clothes but now I really love them ;) I would like to see more younger representatives also. Please mix it up! Autism is a problem of the younger generations as well as they grow up with more and more kids. They need some "coping" skills themselves earlier on. How to realize someone is different and unique and "accept that" and be kind.
September 24, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I agree. Kids need 'coping skills. And others need to see these kids as different and UNIQUE and be kind to them.

David Irving, Holocaust Denial, and his Connections to Right Wing Extremists and Neo-National Socialism (Neo-Nazism) in Germany: Electronic Edition, by Hajo FunkeTable of Contents

4.2 The Party of the Like-minded New Front [Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front - GdNF], National List [Nationale Liste - NL], German Alternative [Deutsche Alternative - DA], and National Alternative [Nationale Alternative - NA].
4.2.1. The GdNF, an overtly neo-Nazi organization and more influential than the FAP, was founded in 1985 by Kühnen in an attempt to subvert the ban on the ANS. It had similarities to the FAP in that it had former ANS 'comrades' within its ranks. The GdNF went through similar conflicts as the FAP on the question of whether to align the party towards the ideologies of Ernst Röhm's SA or more towards the SS, the latter position favoured by Mosler. The GdNF under Michael Kühnen's control perceived themselves as a 'society of like-minded, convinced and self-confessed national socialists, who strive to overcome the ban on NS and to forge new foundations for the NSDAP as a legal party.' They see themselves politically within 'the tradition of the SA and of the revolutionary faction of the historic NSDAP'. They aim to achieve a second NS revolution and perceive Hitler as a 'sacred hero of the Aryan race'.120
4.2.3. Kühnen, in his 1988 text 'The Second Revolution - Belief and Struggle' stated:
Our aim is a national socialist revolution, from which the Fourth Reich will emerge and with it a new order for the white race suitable to our sort and natures.[...] To achieve that, we have to strive for and to carry out various intermediary aims in the present time of struggle:
- to overcome the ban imposed on the NS
- to set up the NSDAP anew
- a reform of the state
- unification of all ethnic German regions in one unified sovereign and socialistic Great Germany.121
4.2.4. The GdNF further fights against 'foreign infiltration', against Americanisation, environmental destruction and for the 'purity of the Aryan Germanic race'.
4.2.5. In 1989 and 1990 a lot of tiny, very active neo-Nazi organizations were founded often within the immediate orbit of the GdNF. Core activists were, to name but a few:
- Michael Kühnen himself
- Christian and Ursula [Uschi] Worch in Hamburg
- Arnulf-Winfried Priem
- Frank Lutz and Andreas Storr in Berlin
- Frank Hübner in Cottbus
- Heinz Reisz in Hessen
- Thomas Dienel in Halle
- Michael Swierczek in southern Germany
- Ewald Althans in Munich
- Gottfried Küssel and Günther Reinthaler in Austria
4.2.6. We will show that between early 1990 and 1993 Irving had close political contacts and connections with more than a few of the above. His contact with Christian and Ursula Worch in Hamburg and Ewald Althans in Munich were particularly intense and long-lasting, with Christian Worch to the extent that he and Irving used the informal 'you' [du] form when addressing each other.
4.2.7. How are the growing neo-Nazi activities and groups in the decisive period of Germany reunification from 1989 to the early 1990s best characterised? One of those who knew the neo-Nazi 'scene' best before he renounced it and dropped out is Ingo Hasselbach, originally from east-Berlin. He described in his book 'The Reckoning' that the GdNF perceived itself as a new SA and that Kühnen had for years been the unassailable 'Fuhrer of the neo-Nazi movement' ['Führer der Bewegung'].122 His stated tactic was to use terror in Germany to destabilize the given social and political system to pave the way to a new NS revolution. Christian Worch, Gottfried Küssel, and Ewald Althans were amongst his closest followers. Hasselbach described Althans as Kühnen's 'talented pupil' ['gelehrigen Schüler']. Hasselbach portrayed him as Kühnen's true successor, although in later years Küssel vied with him for the title.123 Kühnen's alleged homosexuality made him to a controversial figure. Althans separated himself from Kühnen in the late 1980s and allied himself to Ernst Zündel.124
4.2.8. According to Hasselbach, Christian Worch was different in that he was Kühnen's closest political friend. Worch, whom Hasselbach described as a true 'national socialist', was 'able to subordinate himself without being humiliated....'125 Unlike Althans who was unpredictable in his utterances and actions (something Irving often complained of) Worch was very controlled in what he said and has never fallen victim of an uncontrolled craving for recognition.126 As far as the comments on Irving's connections with both men are concerned it is important to bear in mind that both were direct successors of the real founder and leader of the neo-Nazi movement, Kühnen.
4.2.9. The centre of this outbreak of neo-Nazi activities was the newly opened former east Germany. The power vacuum (especially a disillusioned, lax, and disorientated police and judicial system) that ensued in the GDR with the collapse of the eastern block provided the neo-Nazi cadres from the west with an open space for their activities and a home-grown east German militant youth culture that since 1986 had shown a frightening readiness to physically attack foreigners, leftists and liberals.
4.2.10.One of the tactics used to widen their influence was to ground a bewildering number of different types of organizations to avoid identification and suppression. We will briefly describe the organizations which were founded and active in that period.
4.2.11. In March 1989 various neo-Nazis from Hamburg, like Christian Worch and Thomas Wulf, founded the National List ['Nationale Liste' - NL]. In May 1989 a legal political arm of the GdNF, the German Alternative [Deutsche Alternative - DA] was founded, followed shortly afterwards in January 1990 by its east German equivalent, the National Alternative [Nationale Alternative - NA].
4.2.12. The east German NA is of particular importance. The founding members had been active in the pre-1989 neo-Nazi scene in east Berlin and the GDR such as Ingo Hasselbach, supported by western comrades like Arnulf-Winfried Priem, Gottfried Küssel, Günter Reinthaler, Christian Worch, and Michael Kühnen.127 Some of them knew each other from the so-called Lichtenberg-Front in east-Berlin and from the so-called Movement 30 January [referring to the beginnings of the Nazi-regime on 30 January 1933]. The NA perceived itself as a militant NS avantgarde. It organized and ran militia-camps, and formulated concepts for fighting the perceived enemies under their code of defence. In this document the NA argued that its enemies like left-wing activists of the democratic parties should be systematically categorized, observed, and fought against.128
4.2.13. The NA set up house in the now notorious 122 Weitlingstrasse in east Berlin and co-operated with several tiny and obscure neo-Nazis sub-organizations, like Arnulf-Winfried Priem's Ministry of Education, Wotans People's [Hauptschulungsamt Wotans Volk im Asgarde-Bund e. V].129 The NA strove to form a joint 'organization of all nationals' and together with Worch and Heinz Reisz of the Hessen FAP sought to extend this joint effort beyond just east Berlin. To carry this out, they co-operated with Frank Hübner from Cottbus, who was active in the Anti-Zionist Action [Anti-Zionistische Aktion - AZA], one of the many sub-organizations of the neo-Nazi scene. By the end of 1989 these activists had managed to organize the first official Central (i.e. east) German Comradeships [mitteldeutsche Kameradschaften] in Cottbus and Dresden, that included members of the GdNF, the DA, and the Central German SA [Mitteldeutsche SA], all of them self-confessed national socialists aimed at building a national socialist cadre organization in the former GDR.130
4.2.14. Their activities also included militia-camps, like the first joint east-west militia camp in the Schorfheide in 1990. They also committed violent attacks on the housing of foreign contract-workers in the former GDR. The group even armed themselves by searching various World War II battlefields for weapons, or buying them from impoverished and departing Russian soldiers.131 Their political schooling was based on texts like Adolf Hitler's, 'Mein Kampf' and Michael Kühnen's 'What is national socialism?'.132 Gary Lauck, from the internationally organized NSDAP/AO, were present during the party convention in July 1990 near Cottbus.133 Thus the neo-Nazi NA is defined not so much by its public support, but by its militant, military, and partially terrorist quality of attacking those considered alien to Germany and the body politic, like left-wing punks and guest workers.134
4.2.15. One year later the NA had practically disbanded. Some of the former activists quit and others, members of a new generation, like Kay Diesner, moved into the Social Revolutionary Nationalists [SRN], again forming a militant cadre, some of them terrorist.
4.2.16. The Nationalist Front [Nationalistische Front - NF] also fell within the GdNF network . This group was founded in the mid 1980s and later came to prominence through its leader Meinolf Schönborn, who was active in the Bielefeld region. They likewise subscribed to the SA-tradition and positioned themselves as social and national revolutionaries within the neo-Nazi spectrum. The group is known for its so-called National Task Force [Nationales Einsatzkommando - NEK], a kind of military group. The NF was amongst the first neo-Nazi groups to be banned by the Federal Minister of the Interior in 1992.135
4.2.17. We will discuss other splinter groups of the neo-Nazi scene below, but two more are worthy of note.
4.2.18. The German National Party [Deutsche Nationale Partei - DNP] was founded in early 1992 in Wechselburg in Saxony by Thomas Dienel, a former local NPD leader in Halle.136 Like other groups the DNP was founded to obstruct a nationwide ban on the neo-Nazis. The DNP aimed to continue the 'central German revolution of 1989 in a national sense'. The party stood for a revisionist presentation of German history and for the denial of the crimes of the Third Reich, stating such crimes were propaganda put out by the Allies and Zionism.137 They demanded the abolition of the system of holding land in tenancy to a landlord and the integration of the individual into an ethnically-pure German national community through work. According to the 1992 VSB, the DNP took over core elements of the NSDAP-programme of 1920. As leader of this new party Dienel was a virulent public racist and anti-Semite. According to the 1992 VSB report, Rudolstadt County Court sentenced him to two years and eight months in prison for racial incitement and slander.138
4.2.19. Another GdNF sub-organisation was the National Offensive [Nationale Offensive - NO]. The NO was founded on 3 July 1990 and banned on 22 December 1992. Its base lay in Bavaria and Saxony, counting some 150 members. NO leader Michael Swierczek had formally belonged to the FAP and played a role in the KAH, that in turn had close links to the NO. In February 1991, NO activists like Swierczek were accused by a court of being active in the banned ANS/NA.
4.2.20. The NO was banned at the end of December 1992.

121. 'Unser Ziel ist die nationalsozialistische Revolution, aus der das 4. Reich und eine art- und naturgemäße Ordnung für die weiße Rasse hervorgehen wird. (...) Um das zu erreichen, sind in der jetzigen Kampfzeit verschiedene Zwischenziele auszutreben und zu verwirklichen: Überwindung des NS-Verbots, Neugründung der NSDAP, Staatsreform, Vereinigung aller geschlossenan siedelnden Deutschen in einem einheitlichen souveränen und sozialistischen Großdeutschland.'

How HIV spreads from DCs
20.12.2012 - Spanish researchers have unraveled how HIV disperses throughout the body – and can block the process before it occurs.
In a previous publication with Swiss and German virologists, researchers headed by Nuria Izquierdo-Useros from the AIDS Research Institute IrsiCaixa in Barcelona discovered that the HI virus uses specific membrane lipids called gangliosides on their surface to enter dendritic cells (DCs) by modifying membrane fluidity. Based on these findings, they tried to make the DC's membrane more rigid by using a dihydroceramide desaturase (Des-1) blocker, which they have filed for patent. The new approach seems promising because HIV has first to enter DCs to be passed to their target cells, the CD4 T lymphocytes, in a process termed trans-infection. Now, the Spanish team has identified the molecule on the surface of DCs that recognises and binds the gangliosides and allows HIV to be taken up by dendritic cells and transmitted to CD4 cells. The new study is published in the open access journal PLOS Biology.
In order to identify the precise molecule located on the membrane of the dendritic cells capable of capturing HIV, the researchers studied one family of proteins that are present on the surface of these cells, called Siglecs. It is known that these proteins bind to the gangliosides on the HIV surface. In the laboratory, they mixed the virus with dendritic cells that displayed different quantities of Siglec-1, and found that a higher quantity of Siglec-1 led to those dendritic cells capturing more HIV, which in turn allowed for enhanced transmission of HIV to CD4 T lymphocytes, a process called trans-infection.
The team then tried inhibiting the Siglec-1 protein. They found that the dendritic cells lost their capacity to capture HIV and, importantly, they also lost their ability to transfer HIV to CD4 T lymphocytes. With all these data, the scientists concluded that Siglec-1 is the molecule responsible for HIV entrance into the dendritic cells, and could therefore become a new therapeutic target. "We had the key and now we have found a lock," explains Javier Martínez-Picado. "Now we are already working on the development of a drug that could block this process to improve the efficacy of the current existing treatments against AIDS".

Fire coverage may be a little more sparse for people in Appling. About 60 volunteer firefighters may lose jobs if North Columbia Fire and Rescue gets eliminated.
Some in the Columbia County government say fire coverage will be more efficient without North Columbia. Currently, they have contracts with four different departments. Harlem and Grovetown are incorporated cities, so this won't really apply to them. Columbia County wants Martinez-Columbia to be the only county-run department.
Columbia County wants to provide 24-7 coverage across the county. The North Columbia Department does not have the resources, so they will likely be replaced. One North Columbia Firefighter says the new plan calls for three full-time firefighters from Martinez-Columbia to replace their sixty volunteer and three paid firefighters.
"We live in the neighborhood, we're the next door neighbors down the road, and this isn't fair," the firefighter said.
That firefighter couldn't show his face because he worries it may hurt his chances for finding a job in the future.
Monday night, Sergeant Brian Hood and the rest of the North Columbia Fire Department learned that Martinez-Columbia will add nineteen new jobs and will open two new stations. McDuffie County may also have some openings.
"We provide a certain level of protection, and whether that's provided by…whether it be North Columbia, Martinez-Columbia or wherever, we're here to protect the citizens," Hood said.
The county has been looking to do this for about ten years, now it is Administrator Steve Szablewski's project.
"The more entities you have, the more complicated it is to get mutual aid and service, and that's the goal in the county is to get as few well-qualified services as possible," Szablewski said.
Martinez-Columbia has an average response time of about four minutes for life-threatening emergencies, and five minutes for non-life-threatening emergencies. North Columbia also averages about five minutes.
The firefighter says it won't stay this way.
"The county has put us in a position where people will lose their coverage they've been accustomed to," the firefighter said.
The county administrator will make the recommendation to the Columbia County Commission later this month. North Columbia Fire and Rescue could be eliminated as early as January.

Thomas Yorio, PhD
Dr. Yorio received his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York in 1975. He remained at Sinai for a brief Postdoctoral appointment where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow and a National Kidney Foundation Fellow. In 1977 he joined the UNT Health Science Center as an Assistant Professor and rose in rank to Professor in Pharmacology and Neuroscience. He was selected as the Founding Dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in 1993, served as Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research and is currently the Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs. Dr. Yorio has maintained an actively funded research program (NIH and pharmaceutical industry) and is recognized nationally and internationally for his work in glaucoma and signal transduction. He continues to serve on NEI Study Sections for R01 and training grant reviews and on NEI Small Business Innovative Research Grant panels. In 2005, he was selected to serve on the National Eye Institutes Glaucoma Panel to help set the NEI´s research direction over the next five years. He served as Associate Editor for Experimental Biology and Medicine for ten years and was on the Editorial Board for Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science for ten years before being selected and currently serving as an Associate Editor for this journal. He also serves as Associate Editor for the Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics. Dr. Yorio was elected as Trustee for the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in 2000 and served as their Vice President in 2005. He has received The Distinguished Service Award from ARVO and most recently was selected as an ARVO Fellow receiving their gold medal. As an active member of the Council on Graduate Schools (CGS) he had, over several years, organized the health sciences section of the meeting.
Dr. Yorio has made many contributions to the area of glaucoma, from his early work in membrane transport and drug receptor pharmacology of alpha2-agents to his recent work on defining the role of endothelins in glaucoma. He has been asked to organize numerous national and international symposia on glaucoma. His laboratory has also recently identified a possible explanation as to why certain individuals are susceptible to glucocorticoids in developing ocular hypertension. His work on glucocorticoid receptors and their expression in glaucoma should yield useful information in insights into the ocular hyper-responsiveness often seen with these agents. More recently he is working on defining the role of sigma receptors in neuroprotection. Dr. Yorio is an active collaborator with Alcon Research Ltd., and has been involved in numerous projects involving translational research. He has been the recipient of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Advanced Research and Advanced Technology grants that resulted in the development of potentially new glaucoma therapeutics.
Dr. Yorio has also been a major proponent in increasing under represented minorities into the biomedical sciences. While Dean, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences had the highest percent enrollment of African-Americans and Hispanic students of all the health science centers in Texas over a several year period. During this time, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences was designated a Role Model institution by Minority Access Inc., a NIH sponsored organization. In addition, the Graduate School Office of Outreach received the coveted 2001 NSF Presidential Award for Science Mentoring Outreach and was recognized during the Clinton administration as a Best Practice.
Dr. Yorio shares his life with his wife, Elena, with a primary residence in Burleson. He has two married children who live in Texas and three grandchildren.

Knitter's Review
September 25, 2008
The publishing world seems to love big numbers—365 knitting patterns, 101 one-skein wonders...I'm reassured this week by a new book that limits its focus to seven. That's a number I can handle, especially when it's about tangible techniques for making my sweaters look better.
The book is Margaret Fisher's Seven Things that can "Make or Break" a Sweater. Let's see what those seven things are.

Constant Action
Caperton right about education
June 9, 2013
When U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller revealed he will not run for re-election next year, West Virginia Democrat leaders began looking for someone to run in his place. That won't be former Gov....
The thing I remember most about Caperton is how he SWORE he wouldn't raise taxes and he wasn't even gov. for a week before he raised taxes. How about someone running who is truthful or is a truthful politician an oxymoron?

Anecdotal comments Suttle that have no basis or foundation for anything beyond your opinion. Bills supported by our next Senator Capito and McKinley could be mentioned but you would just use the "true Scotsman" argument with them so it's pointless to discuss specifics but the bottom line is, what you stated in nothing more than an opinion. I'm curious, is there an argument that you can make that is fact based?
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Gaston Caperton....doubled the sales tax from 3% to 6%...said if we allowed the lottery in WV that Seniors would be taken care of and all education needs would be taken care of. Said Caperton "if you allow the lottery there will never be another school bond needed in WV"....promised if elected he would make route 2 a 4 lane interstate, he did do that....he moved the route 2 signs on to a portion of route 77. We need a Democrat but not this one.

Really, Suttle? Because the left consistently shows tactics exactly of which you speak. Back-handed, dirty, radical, Alinsky tactics designed to shame and embarrass anyone opposed to their views. I grew up as a Democrat, and trust me, the best thing I've ever done is decide to vote for our country instead of a party. There is nothing wrong with success, yet your side chooses to attack and defame anyone that earns more than you. Record number of welfare recips, record number of disability claims, food stamp enrollees at an all-time high. Really, Suttle? You want to defend the Marxist regime that insists the government is taking care of you and your best interests? Not me, sir. I'll continue earning everything I have, and I'll enjoy every minute of it knowing that my success makes you cringe.

Can you name one successful action that either of our two Republican Congressional Representatives have taken benefitting the citizens of West Virginia? The truth is that Republicans do not know how to govern...Republicans only know how to be obstructionists...Republicans are the party of "NO."

Caperton is one of a select few that would stand a chance against SMC. Barring a meltdown on her part, the seat is hers.

The last thing we need is another democrat in the Senate to kiss Obama's buns like Joe is doing.

Former U.S. Congressman and Ohio Representative Charlie Wilson is continuing to recover from a stroke and showing signs of progress, according to local officials.
Wilson, 70, suffered a stroke while vacationing in Florida Feb. 22, according to an article in Steubenville's The Herald Star.
Wilson was reportedly hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysm and was put into a medically induced coma for treatment. Since the incident, Wilson's condition has been improving, according to Belpre Mayor Mike Lorentz.
Article Photos
Lorentz said Wilson's son, Jason, recently updated him on the status of his father.
"In Athens last Thursday I saw Jason at a meeting," said Lorentz. "He told me that his father was still in Florida under observation, but he was doing much better and they had high hopes of him recovering quickly."
Neither Wilson or his son was able to be reached for comment. A spokesman for Wilson did not return calls.
Wilson, a Democrat, served two terms as a U.S. Representative before being defeated by Republican Bill Johnson in 2010. The two men ran against each other again in 2012, but Wilson lost the election.
Wilson was also a member in the Ohio House of Representatives and the state Senate during his political career.
Lorentz said he is very hopeful that Wilson will fully recover.
"He was always very responsive when working with me. I appreciated his attitude and work ethic," he said. "When you meet someone that is as helpful as he is, it's just nice to have them around."
Molly Varner, chair of the Washington County Democratic Party, said she first heard the news about Wilson about two weeks ago.
"I had received an email informing me of his condition," she said. "I was completely shocked. He always had an energetic glow to him and had been the picture of good health."
Varner noted that only a day later she had received another email with news that was more reassuring as to Wilson's condition.
"Thankfully the second email said that he was doing much better," she said. "My only wish for him is to have a fast, complete and speedy recovery."
Varner said the time he dedicated to the state was very special.
"He has really been an energy point for the Democratic Party for a really long time," she said. "His service as a representative, senator and congressman all helped benefit this state and the Democratic Party."
She added that pending a full recovery Wilson still has much that he could offer the party and Ohio.
"I think Charlie has a tremendous amount of wisdom and experience to offer in any political capacity," she said. "He has plenty to offer as a campaigner, office holder or stalwart if he feels up to it."

City to pay for Alberta tennis center if needed
Council votes to pay $1.9 million annual operating costs if company can't
Published: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 11:34 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Should the operator of the proposed new tennis facility in Alberta fail to meet its obligations, the city of Tuscaloosa has agreed to foot the bill.
The City Council voted this week to take over the $1.9 million annual operation costs of the facility at Jaycee Park if Tuscaloosa Tennis and Fitness LLC is unable to fulfill the role at some point in the future.
The vote came at the request of the Tuscaloosa County Commission, which is assisting in funding the facility's construction but did not want to be responsible for its future operation.
Tuscaloosa Tennis and Fitness was chosen by the Tuscaloosa County Park and Recreation Authority to oversee the day-to-day operations of the facility once it is complete.
The company is led by Tommy D. English, a former tennis player for the University of Alabama who has been in the tennis business since 1979.
The city's commitment, should it be necessary, will come on top of the $2 million already pledged to complete the facility's Phase I.
The County Commission has pledged the additional $1 million for a total of $3 million for the first phase, which will include a pro shop, three hard indoor tennis courts, two hard outdoor courts and 10 soft outdoor courts.
The final plan will feature 26 courts — six indoor courts and 20 outdoor courts — with some courts designed smaller to accommodate children.
Tuscaloosa Tennis and Fitness LLC is also working alongside the Tuscaloosa Tennis Association, which plans to invest about $400,000 in the project.
Although a groundbreaking was held last week, construction will not begin in earnest until certain permissions are granted from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
PARA spokeswoman Becky Booker said an agreement with Tuscaloosa Tennis and Fitness is nearly finalized and, once that is complete, ADECA must give final approval because the Jaycee Park land was developed with a grant from the National Park Service's Land and Water Conservation fund.
Once ADECA gives its approval, PARA can submit bids for a construction contractor.
PARA officials have said that users will be able to pay a monthly fee if they want to use the facility frequently or $10 per hour to use the courts on an hourly basis.

Pioneers wrestler Wilson eating up the competition
Published: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 7:49 p.m.
There was no one else to blame.
National Championships
What: NJCAA wrestling championships
Where: Des Moines, Iowa
When: Today and Saturday
Spartanburg Methodist qualifiers: Edward Contreras (125), Jonathan Dykes (157), Trent Williams (165), Mikey Clevenger (174), Daquon Wilson (184)
Mike Clevenger
Year: Sophomore
Weight class: 174
High school: Boiling Springs
Coach's comments: He's a 4.0 student and has had a great year all around. He lost by one point to a kid (in District Finals) and that was the first time he'd lost since the first week up at Davidson. He's had a great career at SMC and has been a pleasure to coach. He's a kid that every coach would love to have on his wrestling team.
Edward Contreras
Year: Sophomore
Weight class: 125
High school: Dorman
Coach's comments: He's a kid who has really utilized his second chance. He placed third in the state as a sophomore and got in some trouble, left Dorman and didn't wrestle again. But he learned some lessons and we gave him a chance. He has a 3.0 GPA and now has a chance to earn a college scholarship. I've never had any problems with him.
Jonathan Dykes
Year: Sophomore
Weight class: 157
High School: Marion
Coach's comments: He's from a 2A school and didn't have a lot of competition. A lot of those guys don't even get an opportunity to walk on. But his coach spoke so highly of him. He's a very strong kid. He's been rock-solid the whole time he's been here. He missed most of last year with a knee injury. I think he's going to have a really good weekend.
Trent Williams
Year: Sophomore
Weight class: 165
High School: Wando
Coach's comments: He never qualified for state in high school. He came to Spartanburg Methodist and asked for the opportunity to walk on. He was All-American last year and wasn't even starting at the beginning of the season. Academically ineligible for first semester, so he's only wrestled four times this year. But he's been working very hard.
Spartanburg Methodist College freshman wrestler Daquon Wilson had basically pinned himself by failing to make his slotted 149-pound weight category before the NJCAA Eastern District championships.
SMC head coach Rob Sater allowed Wilson to wrestle-off against 157-pounder Jonathan Dykes for that spot, but Dykes won. Wilson was down and thought he was out. The two-time state champion at Fort Dorchester High School was resigned to the fact that his first year of college would be a major disappointment.
Sater put his arm around Wilson and said one word.
"Yeah, I know," Wilson said. "I'm going to eat and get bigger over the summer."
"No, I mean right now."
"What? Why?"
"You're going to districts at 184."
This seemed ridiculous.
"I thought he was kidding," Wilson said.
Honestly, Sater only did it to give Wilson experience. SMC had an open spot at 184 pounds. There was no way a 150-pounder had much of a chance, but at least it would give Wilson a taste of the postseason and a trip with the team to Long Island, N.Y.
Wrestlers can only move up one weight class at districts, so Wilson had to get to 165 pounds. On the day before matches were to begin, he had gorged himself to the point of explosion, he thought, but was still four pounds short. Before bed, he ate an entire large pizza.
An hour before the weigh-in, Wilson was 163. He started chugging water. And when he stepped on the scales, he had made it. One-hundred and sixty five. Now he was eligible to wrestle guys who were 19 pounds heavier, chiseled and not doughy like a large pizza.
Yeah, good luck with that, kid.
"These guys were huge. I was terrified," Wilson said. "Normally, I never get nervous. There are some butterflies at first, but when you step on the mat, they are gone. But these guys were so much bigger. I was scared."
Wilson's strategy was to stay light on his feet — run away, if he had to — and not get crushed.
"I knew that going up so many weight classes that I would be faster than they were," Wilson said. "But I didn't want to get that in my head because in every weight class, there's a guy who is fast. I didn't want to think I had any kind of edge."
Wilson surprised even himself by pinning the first opponent. He lost the next match, but pinned the next two and finished third. In doing so, he actually qualified for the NJCAA championships today and Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.
"It amazed me. I wasn't expecting it," Sater said. "He wrestled very smart. He circled and didn't let them lock him up. What he did was incredible."
Wilson said he stayed hidden from his opponents as he warmed up for each match. And when he was called to the mat, they were certainly surprised.
"They were probably like, 'Look at this little dude I'm about to kill. He's so small. He's so tiny,' " Wilson said. "But after the first match, when I pinned the guy, I actually had some confidence. I thought, 'Well, OK, maybe I can do my thing.' "
This weekend could be a different story. Wilson is stuck in that 184-pound category and has had difficulty keeping his weight in the 160s. His next opponents are the top wrestlers in the country.
"It's bizarre. I've never heard of anybody doing this," Wilson said. "I don't know. I'll just try to stay in my zone and take them one at time. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that anybody can be beaten on a given day — even by a much smaller guy."

BELPRE - The Marietta Memorial Health System held an open house at its newest location in Belpre Tuesday evening.
The open house for the campus located at 805 Farson St. was held from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday in the second of four planned buildings on the site.
The Memorial Health System is a nonprofit health system governed by a volunteer board of community members that are committed to providing comprehensive services that meet the needs of the region. It is comprised of a network of two hospitals, outpatient service sites, assisted and long-term care facilities and a retirement community.
Building Two - which was opened to visitors for Tuesday's tour - was developed by the PMC Company and houses over 25,000 square feet of services for MMH. Members of the community and patients of the practicing doctors were able to get a feel for the new campus during the open house.
Steven Richards, a doctor and medical director for the Wound Care Center in Belpre, said he is thrilled with the collaboration of the MMH system. He said he took his practice from Parkersburg to Belpre after deciding he wanted to be part of the MMH group.
"It means immediate access to records and reports," Richards said of the health group. "The idea of collaborative medicine, not just communication, we're all sharing records- not just convenience or cost saving, it's also a safety thing."
Article Map
Richards said he is excited to say residents have the kind of care the facility will offer so close to home.
"It's a national model but it's here," Richards said of the Belpre campus.
MMH President and CEO Scott Cantley said the new campus in Belpre has been operational for about six weeks, opening one office at a time.
"We're fully stocked now and ready to roll," he said. "The entire Belpre campus for us is about creating convenient access for the southern part of Washington County as well as Wood County - we're getting a tremendous response from Parkersburg and Belpre."
Another primary care doctor will be Chris Edmands, who said he has been practicing in Parkersburg about 10 years and was drawn to the Marietta Memorial system because of the way the health network runs.
"This gives me an opportunity to follow a different practice model," Edmands said. "Marietta is a system where the continuity between primary care and specialists is well organized."
Gloria Flesher is excited to be involved with the hyperbaric technician for the Belpre campus. She said the location will have two hyberbaric nursing machines and she will run operations.
The machines will imitate an environment sending patients on a simulated dive about 30 feet below sea level. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the medical use of oxygen at a level higher than atmospheric pressure.
