The Vice-President's speech was read on his behalf by the Minister of Manpower Development and Employment, Yaw Barimah, at a ceremony in Accra to mark International Volunteer Day with the theme: "Volunteerism: A Vehicle for the Attainment of The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)".
The MDGs is a set of time-bound development objectives, which includes halving poverty, providing education for all and ensuring gender equality by 2015.
He said an empirical study on volunteerism had shown that volunteerism facilitates public participation as an essential element of good governance and development and helps to integrate into society people, who might have been excluded or marginalized.
The day observed annually on December 5 was celebrated in Ghana two days earlier because of the National Farmers' Day scheduled for Friday.
The Vice-President said volunteerism in Ghana gave strength and character to the attainment of MDGs.
"The pool of human resources, diverse skills and experience which become available through volunteer service help to bridge critical resource gaps needed to prosecute the MDGs. Furthermore, the attributes of unconditional support, integrity and purpose, which come with volunteer work facilitate the spirit of mutual responsibility, which is at the very core of MDGs", he said.
He added that "the challenge now was to put into context this mutually reinforcing relationship between MDGs and the concept of volunteerism by capitalizing on the broad synergies".
He acknowledged the important contributions of other voluntary organizations in Ghana and called for the forging of new partnerships to help build and consolidate the national commonwealth.
UN Volunteer Joseph Oji said volunteerism was necessary to tackle the abject poverty that affected 1.2 billion people two thirds of them being women.
"The global scenario looks even grimmer with about six million people not having access to life-saving HIV-AIDS drugs.. IVD provides us an opportunity, irrespective of our age, race, gender, culture and professional background to renew the voluntary spirit, which is inborn in all of us," he said.
Mr Christophe Bahuet, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, commended more than 65 Ghanaian volunteers abroad for their work.
Ms Elizabeth Ohene, Minister of State In-charge of Tertiary Education, who chaired the function, reminisced her student days when she joined other students during school vacations to carry out community work as volunteers. "I have nothing but greater respect for those who engage in voluntary work", she said.

Having followed 2014 York running back Ryan Moore for more than a year now we've seen the young prospect progress immensely during that time. We knew his background and knew his older brother Ricky Moore who was an equally impressive young man. The drive and motivation to become the very best he possibly could be was evident early on and now he's seeing some of the fruits of his labor in the form of scholarship offers. The 2014 prospect has seen his stock take off in a hurry as FBS and FCS schools have started to appreciate his talents and stepped up with those offers.
Almost 2 weeks ago Ryan Moore had zero offers. Then came his first offer from Bucknell. Then came an offer from Air Force.
Since then things have picked up rather quickly and Moore is hoping that momentum will continue as he's an early graduate candidate and plans on enrolling somewhere after graduating in December so he can participate in spring practice at whatever school he decides to attend.
"Offer number three just came in from Gardner-Webb," Moore told us a few days ago.
Then came another one.
"Youngstown State just offered me, that's offer number four!"
Twenty minutes later Moore was contacting us again.
"Limestone just called right after Youngstown State and offered so that's number five."
On Friday Moore was contacting us yet again.
Presbyterian College just offered me."
So in less than a week and half Ryan Moore went from zero offers to six offers.
A lot of other schools remain involved including the likes of Appalachian State, Florida International, Furman, Marshall, Oregon State, Texas Tech, UNC Charlotte, and Wake Forest.
Moore says he remains wide open at this point and is more than willing to hear what every school has to say and offer. As mentioned before he will graduate in December and his hope is to make a decision somewhere in the middle of the season barring a "dream type offer" which would probably result in a early commitment.
He plans on visiting Marshall on June 8th and will check out North Dakota State on June 22nd.
Moore has been a man on a mission and the 5'10 200 pound prospect's efforts on the field and in the weight room are pretty undeniable. Maxing out this past week Moore raised his bench press to 355 pounds. On the squat Moore maxed out at 560 pounds. He also power cleaned 305 pounds.
Check out his junior season highlights below and see why so many regional schools are loving what they see in the highly underrated prospect from York High. Moore has the size, power, moves, and speed to be an every down back in our opinion and apparently so do the six schools who have already offered him a scholarship.

There is no need for anyone to start panicking about the depth of the Jaguars WR corps. The team has Mike Thomas, Jason Hill & Cecil Shorts locked up for the first 3 spots on the roster. After them the Jags have Osgood, Dillard & Underwood. Beyond that, they have Matthews, Inman, Ellingson, Newsome & Binns to choose from. That's 11 WRs fighting for 5 or 6 spots, depending on how many WRs GM Gene & Del Rio decide on keeping at the start of the season. Then there is the practice squad to consider as well. So Let's dig deeper into the players who are in camp & see if any of them are worthy of making the roster or the practice squad.
As I mentioned, Thomas, Hill & Shorts are locks for the roster….so I'll concentrate on the other WRs in the mix. First, let's start with Dontrelle Inman from Virginia. Though he is a big player at 6'3″ and 198 lbs., he hasn't really impressed at camp so far and should be considered a long shot at making the team let alone the practice squad. Second is Greg Ellingson out of Florida International. He too is a big player at 6'3″ and 197 lbs. He has made some catches during camp, but isn't anything to write home about. He has a slim chance of making the practice squad right now and those chances will get even slimmer if he doesn't do something to get the coaches attention. Jamar Newsome out of Central Florida is shorter than Inman & Ellingson at 6'1″ and 201 lbs, but he has turned heads with very nice catches during camp and could easily land on the practice quad or steal a roster spot if he continues to shine during the preseason. Armon Binns is by far the best of the UDFA class at Jaguars camp. Hailing from Cincinatii, he has made perfect catches and uses his size to block out or simply out-jump defenders. At 6'3″ and 209 lbs, he is the biggest of the WR contenders. Binns out-played all the other UDFA WRs during camp. He currently has a soft-tissue injury, but we should see him back for the second preseason game against the Falcons. Binns is the most deserving of a roster spot and if placed on the practice squad he is also most likely to be signed by another team.
John Matthews is back in camp again, but might be relegated to the practice squad once more. It is a shame, because he can make all the catches and gives his all, but just can't seem to make the roster unless a starter gets injured. Hopefully he can make it this year, and seeing as how Underwood has done nothing noteworthy yet, he has a good chance to take his spot. Speaking of Tiquan Underwood, why has he basically disappeared in camp? He has the skills and the speed to make the roster, but seems to be doing nothing to secure his spot. He could be replaced very easily by Binns or Matthews if he doesn't show something in the preseason games. Jarett Dillard should make the team as long as he stays healthy, which has been a concern with him the past 2 seasons. When healthy, he has all the tools to be a quality NFL receiver. Last but not least, Kassim Osgood will most likely make the team due to his special teams play. As a receiver, he could do more & has not reached his full potential yet. At 6'5″ and 220 lbs, the former Charger has the size that should make him a favorite target for any Jaguars QB. If given more opportunities, I have no doubt that he would impress and improve as a WR on this team.
So why are so many fans upset about the WR corps of the Jags? Because fans want name recognition. Fans want a big name free agent WR like Chad Ochocinco, Plaxico Burress or Braylon Edwards They want instant gratification without having to wait for a player to develop. And while big name players most certainly are guaranteed to cost a lot, they don't always help a team win a lot. But maybe if the fans look just a little bit deeper, they'll see that the Jaguars have some talented WRs already on the current roster. Just relax and give them time to prove themselves. A future number 1 receiver could be playing for the Jaguars this preseason. Wouldn't it be nice if Binns or Newsome turned out to be the next big time player that all the other teams & fans wish they had on their rosters. You'll never know if you don't give them a chance. How much would it suck to see one of these players get cut and move on to another team and then become a star. Think about it.

I was walking home from the bus stop, dressed conservatively in a tank and long jeans (in 80 degree weather just to avoid this type of shit)when a man I was passing at another bus stop interrupted my headphone enjoying to say "Hey baby,whatchoo doin' today? Where you headed?" I responded by saying loudly "Stop harassing me." I kept walking, he shouted "Fucking whore." So I shouted again, "STOP HARASSING ME." While some bicyclists rode by. He again screamed "FUCKING WHORE." So I kept walking. I'm not used to standing up for myself like this, and I know it's a small incident but my hands are still shaking. I'm so glad he didn't follow me home! I wish those bikers had stopped, though.
I go to a middle school and in my art class we were glazing our pottery and this one obnoxious guy came up to this girl and started to ask her questions that made her very uncomfortable. These were innapropiate questions that no one should ask ever such as "are you a whore?" "are you a virgin?" She even yelled at him to stop, but he kept getting closer and even tried to vandilize her work so I said to him politely ,"Hey thats not appropriate behavior and you should never ask someone those kind of questions please leave her alone." He responded with "shut the fuck up nosy bitch!" And I say "you should never talk to somewhone like that!" And he just keeps going "I can say whatever the FUCK! I want fuck fuck fuckity bitch bitch bitch!" He also threw a paper towel at me. Im just happy he turned his attention away for that girl…The bell had rang and I didn't have time to get the teacher on him…I wish I could have done more though for the girls he likes to harass.
I live in Jakarta Indonesia, and I, like many others who live here, are considered 'ExPats'. I was born in the states but I've traveled my entire life so I'm use to being considered an novelty. I got use to obscene catcalls and slurs thrown at me for being what most indonesians refer to as, 'blue' (pronounced boo-lay), which refers to the fact that even for a white person, I'm pretty pale.
But one night, on my friends birthday, we decided to go to a club near our house and school called club 777. I had never been to a club in Indonesia before, and it was late, my boyfriend was homesick, and a lot of my friends were really drunk from the bar we visited earlier, so even just walking into this place, I felt really uncomfortable.
But I shook off that feeling as we got our table, had a couple more drinks, and started to dance. It wasn't long after that, when a friend of the birthday girl stumbled up to us and started to dance with the group. I had met him before, but it was brief and his english was as limited as my bahasa. He knew I had a boyfriend but as soon as he walked up to us, he moved behind me and tried to grind up against me. Because he was drunk, I moved away and tried to dance somewhere else, but he followed and grabbed at my hips and my waist trying to make me stay. I ended up turning around and telling him to fuck off, shoving him off me, but he grabbed my arm tightly in his hand and shook me saying that all he wanted was to dance. I shoved him off me again and I tried to go sit down in between two of my close guy friends, but when I did, he grabbed my upper arm so hard my shoulder popped and I was dragged out of my seat.
The guys I was with made him leave our area and had one of the bouncers kick him out for disorderly conduct, but after the incident, and after the bruise from how tight his grip was, developed, he still tried to talk to me the following weekend. I heard from one of my friends that still keeps in contact with him, that all he wanted to say, was that he was sorry. Ha. Yeah, right.
I was at a local grocery store a few years ago and a 30-40 year old man got behind me in the check out line. He was talking on his cellphone and then apologized to me for being rude and stated that he was French. I said it was fine and he kept making small talk and I was being polite. He said he worked at GMU, the school I was trying to get admitted into, and asked if I would give him my phone number. Not getting terribly creepy vibes (yet) but still wanting to be safe I gave him my email, thinking that he would be a useful connection. But soon after this he started emailing very often, probably weekly for a solid month or two, inviting me to coffee and tennis and I never responded, because at that point I was definitely creeped out. He eventually gave up. Flash-forward to a couple of years later and I'm at another grocery store and I am in a random aisle when I see the SAME MAN on his cell phone and speaking French (really obvious french words: merci vous cous, etc. over and over again. It was pretty obvious no one was on the other line). Every aisle I turned down he would show up and I kept trying to randomize to avoid him because he would get walk past me staring and trying to get my attention. I got what I needed and went to the checkout counter where he got in line behind me still repeating French on his cell. Then he started to apologize to me for being on the phone and telling me that he was being rude and he was sorry and that he was French. SAME FUCKING CONVERSATION. And over two years after the first encounter. I again said it was fine but made no small talk and high tailed it the hell out of there hoping he wouldn't remember that he had pulled this shit on me previously and that he actually had my email. And this same fucker came up to me about a month or two ago, this time in a local store. Same routine: incoherent French on his cell home, following me around aisles and trying to apologize for being rude on his phone as a way of initiating conversation. It is really uncomfortable and he invades your space and is extremely persistent. So for anyone who lives in the DC or NoVa area if you encounter this man, who appears to use this ploy at grocery stores around the area regularly, please involve the store security immediately. I know I will if I ever have the misfortune of running into him again.
During my first year of graduate school, I was in charge of a residence hall as part of my graduate assistantship. Because of my position, I was expected to be helpful and friendly to the residents, and to be readily available as I lived in the dorm. It was about 1:30 in the morning, and there was a knock at my door. I open it to find a male resident standing there. He immediately began to hit on me, first saying how hot I looked in my pajamas (sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt). I told him it was inappropriate, so he then started asking asking if I'd go out to a party with him. When I said no, he then repeatedly asked me for my phone number. I told him I was not going to give him my number, and then he started to try to push his way into my room. I slammed the door in his face, and he started yelling through the door calling me a bitch. I called campus police. By the time they showed up, he was gone. They told me to not call back unless he showed signs of physical violence.
After this interaction, he started to follow me around. He didn't live on my floor, but he would always be out in the common area of my floor when I would leave my room. He would come down and just stare at me while sitting in the main lobby during my office hours. It got to the point that the male RAs in my building would stick around during my office hours as well because they knew how scared I was of him. He also began doing the same thing he was to me to my female RAs, and the other girls in the building. It got to the point that no girl in the building would go anywhere by themselves, even to do laundry. Because he was not being physically violent towards any of us, though, campus police wouldn't do anything.
After two weeks of this, I couldn't take it any more. I was playing pool with a few people, and he was getting a little too close to me. I turned around and hit him in the face with the pool stick I was holding. His nose started to bleed. He got angry, and I told him that if he did any of what he had been doing again, he'd get a lot worse. He left me, and all the other girls in my building alone after that.
I knew that working in India as a single, light-skinned woman who did not speak a word of any Indian languages would not be a walk in the park. However, I was not expecting the onslaught and veritable inundation of street harassment. I live in Goa, which is known to be one of India's most liberal, progressive provinces. But stepping outside my home near my job, I would never know it.
At first, I thought the constant calls of "Hello, beautiful!" and "Be my girlfriend!"or "Give me your number!" were just harmless fun, trying to grab the attention of an obvious tourist. I had a rude awakening of that when a man outside my apartment complex told me he loved me. I laughed it off as he reached out to shake my hand. When I gave it to him to shake, he wouldn't let go, and took my hand and attempted to shove it down his pants. I managed to get away and ran back into my apartment, where my roommate, a Ghanian man, was as shocked about the ordeal as I was.
That's another way we've been harassed here in Goa. As we're living together (we're colleagues and work at the same NGO), my Ghanian roommate and I go out to eat rather frequently. I've grown to accept that people will stare at the two of us when we're together or when we're alone, but people will also say very racist things to the both of us and constantly take pictures of us, with or without our consent. Again, at first I didn't mind this and attributed it to the fact that we were a novelty. However, as people continued to treat us like we were some toy to be played with, I became a little less happy with the situation. This experience was epitomized by one night when my roommate and I went out to a club. People were constantly asking for our pictures, and finally, wanting to have a good night and not pose for photos the whole time, we started saying no. Instead of accepting that answer, locals would grab us by the arm, leg, and (I can't say they did this to him, but they definitely did it to me) butt, and drag us into pictures and dances. Men kept taking my drinks from me, drinking out of them, and throwing them on the floor. I started to flip off the camera or do the "WoW" symbol with my face every time they forced me into pictures with them unwillingly, so if you see any of those on the internet, know that I didn't want them taken and those people are not my friends – in fact, from the way they treated us, I sort of doubt that they considered my roommate and I as particularly human. After about two hours of being paraded around as some sort of carnival freaks merely because of the color of our skin, a security guard noticed and escorted US out, saying we were causing too much of a stir – doing nothing about the others. All of this happened at the biggest (and perhaps most touristy) club in Baga – Tito's Beach Club.
In the town that I live, I've been followed down streets, photographed without my consent, chased after, grabbed, and groped. Men have tried to pay me for sex constantly, offering 400 rupees (about $8) if I'll have sex with them, and not relenting until I start yelling. In perhaps what was the scariest instance while I've been here, I took a wrong turn on the way back from work. I'd been working late, so it was dark, and I was alone. First, a security guard tried to force me to come into an apartment complex, saying that it was where I lived. Because I am not an idiot, I knew was not mine. Luckily enough, a cab was nearby and I hopped inside. My fears were not quelled as the driver took me on some roundabout, clearly incorrect way of getting to the place that I was going. As I knew where we were and were going into a much less populated area, I demanded he let me out of the car. He wouldn't, but when I opened my window and made a scene he started to drive directly towards my apartment. There, he wouldn't let me out of the cab, insisting we go get coffee or that he let me inside. I wouldn't do it, and was struggling to find the lock for the door when the security guard from my apartment complex came over and asked what was happening. After a conversation with the cabbie in the local language, the cabbie demanded my phone number and he said he would leave, if I would go to get coffee with him tomorrow. I didn't see that I had any choice, so I gave him my number. Since then, he has called or texted me saying he loves me every single day, trying to meet up. It's been 2 weeks. I've blocked his number, but he keeps calling on friends' phones or getting friends to call me and ask me if I'm still in Goa. At this point, since he knows where I live, I'm actually pretty worried he's going to show up outside my apartment. I really wish I'd gotten his license plate.
I knew that working in India as a white female wouldn't be easy. But really, it would be a breeze if the harassment would stop.
I was leaving my bank the other day and a man standing outside yelled "Hey pretty lady!" I ignored him and started to walk away, he said "Oh, no love? How about a kiss then?" I said "Fuck no," and turned around to walk away. I got two steps when he screamed "BITCH!" The sidewalk was full of people, most of whom stopped to stare at the man, so I turned around and yelled back "If telling sexist assholes like you to fuck off because you think you can make comments about how I look makes me a bitch, then you bet I'm a huge fucking bitch!" The man obviously didn't have the brain power to respond and just stood there, and three women standing nearby clapped. Serves him right.
Sorry guys, this a long one. I have a lot to vent about today!
I have experienced street harassment on a regular basis since I was thirteen years old. Since the tiniest hint of a figure first appeared on me, I have been cat called and wolf whistled at more times than I care to remember. Now, at twenty five, I like to think that I have a pretty thick skin for these sorts of things. I can usually manage a hearty FUCK YOU or at the very least ignore the person until they get bored. My most recent experience with street harassment happened this morning and was too much even for me to handle.
I usually ride my bike to work. It's a nine mile commute into downtown which, despite the hills and the occasional 6:00 a.m. creeper (why yell at a sweaty, sleepy girl toiling uphill on a bicycle?!), I thoroughly enjoy. I get some excercise AND avoid taking the bus, and even better – avoid bus stops. But this morning I woke up and didn't feel too hot. I am getting over being sick/stressed for the past few days so I figured I would conserve my energy for my shitty service job and take the bus.
In order to get to my job I have to transfer buses at 3rd and Pike – a stop known by every Seattle-ite for its constant and horrid retinue of bums, thugs, transient workers, street kids, crackheads, and the small smattering of normal people just trying to get to work. So this morning I walk out of the bus tunnel onto the crowded sidewalk and steel myself for what awaits.
I was kind of hoping it wouldn't be as terrible as I remembered. It was so darn early … who would have the energy to bother someone? As it turned out, a lot of people did. Here is what happened in the less than five minutes I spent waiting for my bus: two workers drove by and the man in the passenger seat made a kissing face/noise at me; a man asked me for money and insisted on trying to hug/kiss me when I refused; a man stared openly at me and raised his eyebrows in a leering manner, then followed me onto the bus and sat directly across from me, staring at me until he got off. All this on top of feeling sick and exhausted. By the time I finally made it to work I was nearly in tears.
This is not ok. It's not ok that when I want to take the bus to have a more 'relaxing' morning I wind up feeling objectified, demeaned, and demoralized. It's not ok that when I ride my bike I am made to feel like a rolling piece of meat. It sickens me that I can't walk to the grocery store or wait at a crosswalk without being openly stared at. Even in a city of lonely tech nerds where guys haven't interacted with a woman outside of OKcupid, reddit, or 4chan … This is not alright. Seriously, Seattle. Let's end this shit!
I was sitting in the park, reading a book, and a car drove by. One guy stuck his head out of the window and made a horrible noise. I ignored it. The car went around the block, I presume, because it came back and all of them yelled stuff like "Fags are GAY!" "I HATE YOU!" Scared the crap out of me
I was sitting at the gate waiting to board my flight when a group of men and one woman sit near me. I was listening to music and trying to watch a video that my friend had sent me when I noticed the men kept trying to interact with me. I wasn't sure if I had dropped something, so I took out my headphones to see what they had to say. One of them said "my friend here has been checking you out since we got here. Now I'm not gonna lie, I have been too." The woman told me to "just go with it". I nodded and looked away when they kept asking me about where I was going and where I was from. Alone and scared, I panicked and I began to lie about my name, where I was from, and where I was going. I stood up and quickly walked away, trembling and confused. I didn't know if I should tell anyone, but my friend was texting me telling me it would be okay and to just get near people.

• Many diseases in children are associated with thrombotic tendencies either as a complication or as part of the patho-physiologic process. Disorders in which platelet consumption and/or activation occur incude myeloproliferative syndromes, sickle cell disease, cardiac prostheses, arteriovenous shunts, vasculitis, diabetes mellitus, and hemolytic-uremic syndrome and other renal diseases. Platelet involvement can be demonstrated by several indicators, including an increase in platelet release product levels in the plasma (β-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4, and thromboxane B2). The agents that have the greatest success in thrombotic disorders where platelet involvement is prominent include the prostaglandin pathway cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors aspirin and sulfinpyrazone, as well as dipyridamole. Although indications and dosages for the use of antiplatelet agents in children can be suggested, the treatment of each patient should be individualized in light of current knowledge.

That was the theme Friday night for the annual SCV Chamber of Commerce gala, a black-tie-optional dinner to salute last year's Chamber board president and swear in the new president.
Bill Kennedy - a retired U.S. Air Force colonel - stepped down as 2009's board president and passed the gavel to attorney John Shaffery.
"A year ago we faced difficult prospects," Kennedy said during his address to the crowd of several hundred. "We were all about business, and business wasn't looking good."
Among the successes of 2009, he said, was the formation of the SCV Economic Development Corp., "a multi-year objective" and the outgrowth of the Chamber's Economic Development Committee. Kennedy and Shaffery both sit on the board of the new corporation.
Kennedy lauded Shaffery as the new Chamber board president and remained focused on the future.
"The most important step in business ... is the next step," he said.
Kennedy was presented with certificates and awards from the offices of Congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon, Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, Sen. George Runner, the city of Santa Clarita and county Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
"(Last year) was tough, but I don't think anybody felt that because of your enthusiasm," said Rosalind Wayman, field deputy for Antonovich.
Kennedy presented his Chairman's Award to Sue Saffir of USANA Health Sciences. He said Saffir was instrumental in the formation of the Chamber's micro-finance committee.
After the Chamber board was sworn in and Kennedy passed the gavel, Shaffery took to the podium to talk about the year ahead.
"It's not my plan; it's the board of directors'," he said.
Shaffery outlined six objectives for 2010: Retaining Chamber members; creating networking opportunities; keeping chamber members informed of goings-on; lobbying elected officials; focusing on economic development - "It's going to be our epitaph," he said - and showing smart stewardship of members' funds.
"We want to be the leading business voice in Santa Clarita Valley," Shaffery said.
The chamber capped off the evening by naming its small, medium and large businesses of the year.
Vino 100 was awarded small business of the year; SOS Entertainment received medium business of the year; and Bristol Farms was named large business of the year.
Laura Kirchhoff of The Signal was presented with the Ambassador of the Year award, described by emcee Ed Masterson as an award for someone who puts her heart and soul into the business community.

WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University recently announced it is one of the 322 most environmentally responsible colleges in the U.S. and Canada, according to The Princeton Review. The university earned a green rating of 90, and is profiled in the fourth annual edition of the free downloadable book, "The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges."
"Our university's commitment to environmental stewardship is paramount," said President Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D. "We are so fortunate that our institution is located in a beautiful and scenic part of the country, and we honor that home by protecting the natural habitats around us and keeping the environment at the forefront of every decision we make."
In the guide's profile on the university, The Princeton Review highlights Shenandoah University's Blue Ridge Institute for Environmental Studies (SU-BRIES). Since its inception in 1991, SU-BRIES has focused on environmental quality, community education and natural places in the Shenandoah Valley region. The group also tackles service-learning projects at Shawnee Springs and Abrams Creek Wetlands Preserves, as well as research projects on local water quality, terrestrial sites, fish and box turtles.
The guide profile notes the institute's "efforts to reduce the university's ecological footprint, while demonstrating responsible environmental practices through energy conservation projects, sustainable purchasing choices and the protection of habitats and water quality."
Also noted in the guide are the university's downsizing of the campus fleet of service vehicles and purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as the promotion of the Winchester Green Circle - a walking and bicycling path designed to connect neighborhoods and points of interest in the City of Winchester.
Other highlights include the existence of an environmental studies degree program; the utilization of a formal sustainability committee and a sustainability officer; the effort to ensure all new construction is LEED-certified or certified by a comparable third-party rating system; and the use of cleaning products that are Green Seal-certified.
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on a survey it conducted of hundreds of colleges across the U.S. and in Canada in 2012 to tally its "Green Ratings" (scores from 60 to 99). The survey asked administrators more than 50 questions about their institutions' sustainability-related policies, practices and programs. Green Ratings were reported for 806 institutions in summer 2012. The 322 schools in the guide received scores of 83 or above in that assessment. Information about The Princeton Review's Green Rating methodology is at www.princetonreview.com/green.aspx.

It is amazing how the citizens of this great Republic are so easily 'brain washed' from Washington and the media. With this technology age, it seems that common sense thinking has gone completely out the window. Unless all the citizens of this nation wake up to the monopoly game that Washington and the media is playing, then we are doomed to have the same results of those other governments that have turned to dictatorship. We are fast moving into that realm! Washington (that includes the president, congress and the media that supports them) are simply rolling the dice to the next move down the board. If it doesn't land on a spot that they feel is a citizen 'gullible' spot for their continued growth to dictatorship, they simply move to one that they consider the citizens won't recognize once it is made a decree, rule or law. Unfortunately a near majority of our citizens believe government giveaways and rules can last forever. A look at history and those 'empires' that have fail, tell us it cannot last. Unless the citizens decide it is time to get the 'monopoly players' out of Washington, and the media that promotes them, by sending them directly to the 'uncounted unemployment group', nothing will change. Then put in representatives that understand what real proven numbers are; can we get a Constitutional abiding government in Washington. Constitutional believing citizens must stand up, be counted and let their voice (votes) be heard! Now is the time.

Design Specifications - VEF-121 'Eclipse' variable
environment fighter United States Air Force United States Space Forces
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
Overview: The VEF-121 is designed for stealth,
maneuverability, and multi-capability in is operations. It is intended
to conduct classified, highly-sensitive missions against targets from
any angle and with mission sensitive weaponry.
Propulsion: An entirely original engine design
was created for the VEF-121. It uses a hybrid system that is equally capable
in air, space or sea. The main intakes direct either air or water to the
four engines. Two P&W 1200B turboSCRAMJet engines are used in air and
space operations. For sub-hypersonic speeds, the P&W 1200B operates using
the nuclear-powered supercruising turbofan. Once it approaches hypersonic
speeds, the intakes activate their louvers that assist in air compression
until the Venturi (compresses air at high velocity by using the shape
of the engine itself) takes over and the SCRAMJet activates, accelerating
the VEF-121 to hypersonic speeds. Once the atmosphere is too thin to provide
adequate oxygen, the louvers close the intakes completely and the SCRAMJet
operates as a rocket, using hydrogen and oxygen from electrolytic fuel
cells. Sea-based operations require the use of two GE 1000C "caterpillar"
magnetohydrodynamic AquaJet engines. The VEF-121 accelerates to approximately
10 knots using the P&W 1200B, then the pilot switches to sea mode and
submerges the fighter. The GE 1000C AquaJets then are able to propel the
VEF-121 underwater similarly to the way the Venturi SCRAMJet does above
the surface. The GE1000C will operate at any speed (as long as it does
not exceed the maximum) underwater, and can be stopped and restarted.
The initial splashdown is only to make sure the GE 1000C engines run at
peak performance (i.e. any air/gases are flushed out). While underwater,
internal louvers direct water so that the P&W 1200B engines are not awash.
These same louvers cover the GE 1000C AquaJets during flight so that all
air is directed to the turboSCRAMJets.
Design: The VEF-121 resembles a reversed manta
ray in appearance. The wing tips curve downwards at a slight angle, and
the blended fuselage is only broken by the canards just behind the cockpit
and the inward canted vertical stabilizers. All weapons are carried internally.
The bay doors open into the fuselage so to add as little to the radar
cross-section (RCS) as possible. The four engines are blended into the
dorsal fuselage, hiding the intakes from ground sensors. The cockpit affords
a 360 degree field of view for the pilot, while not interfering with the
organic flow of the design or the stealthy characteristics of the VEF-121.
Technologies: Several innovative technologies
are included in the Eclipse's design. The internal weapons bays use a
modular rotary system that allows many different types of ordinance to
be carried in the same bay, facilitating an efficient use of weapons resources.
Only the guns are not carried in the weapons bays, they are within the
structure of the fighter. An electronic stealth system adds to the airframe's
low RCS by its ability to passively or actively interfere with threat
sensors by using electronic countermeasures, electrochromic panels for
visual stealth that change the hue and appearance of the airframe skin
(matching the sky above or ground below depending on altitude, speed,
and position of light sensors), infrared jammers, communications scramblers,
and a small laser turret that blinds sensors using a high-energy short
pulse on incoming aircraft and missiles. The pilot has his own advanced
systems. An Advanced Neural Transfer And Response System II(ANTARES II)
actually links the pilot's brain with the fighter's computer using nanomachines
that rewire the pilot's neural connections while connected, allowing the
pilot to make decisions and execute commands in fractions of a second.
The fighter can be operated without ANTARES II, but its use essentially
makes the craft thought-controlled and capable of outfighting any opponent,
excluding a superior pilot using ANTARES II also. The ANTARES II also
incorporates a specially-designed pilot's seat that automatically adjusts
itself to react to excess G-forces (positive or negative) and is filled
with a gel that absorbs kinetic energy. The flight suit is also designed
to work with ANTARES II and the "gee seat". The helmet is designed to
facilitate ANTARES II use (it doesn't get in the way of the connection
hardware), and the upper and lower torsos have an inner layer of the same
gel used in the "gee seat". With ANTARES II, the pilot and the 'Eclipse'
almost become one. The fighter's sensors (radar, infrared, cameras) and
battle management computer systems become a part of the pilot's senses,
just like touch and sight. (NOTE: ANTARES II is based on the ANTARES from
Dale Brown's novel, Day of the Cheetah. I have only modified the
system slightly to include the use of nanomachines, rather than drugs
and theta-level brain activity, to connect with the computer. The ANTARES
II is an "upgrade" of sorts, my personal take on the idea.)
Conclusion: The VEF-121 is capable of attack
from any direction and at any angle, a true multi-role fighter. Nothing
short of a fuel-air explosive, nuclear device, or another VEF-121 with
a better pilot could destroy the fighter. Its one limitation is its inability
to carry large numbers of heavy weaponry like that on a bomber, the maximum
number of AGM-136 Advanced (stealthy) Cruise missiles the 'Eclipse' can
carry is two! Also, if the engines are somehow damaged during the transition
from atmospheric to sub-orbital flight, an abort may be necessary. Also,
the fighter may be forced to crash land/scuttle if an emergency occurs
during the transition from seaborne to airborne travel and vice versa.
Personal Thoughts: I decided to design this
craft for a very good reason, and no, it is not because I am insane! I
have always been interested in both aerospace and naval design. I also
follow trends in military technology as a hobby. Right now, the military
is trying to get more bang for its buck. Why not develop a true multi-role,
multi-environment fighter? Such a craft, combined with technologies that
add versatility in mission operations, would revolutionize the way we
defend our nation. And the enemy would be scared out of their minds. The
psychological value of being able to keep the enemy guessing (Air? Sea?
SPACE?!?!? ALL THREE?!?!?) as to where you will come from is immense.
Of course, these advanced military hardware systems come at a price. One,
only an elite group of pilots would be allowed to fly these things because
of the cost involved to build, maintain, and keep these craft secret (element
of surprise and the technological edge - how can the enemy defend against
a weapon it doesn't know exists?). Two, what if a pilot became "addicted"
to ANTARES II? The power and super-human abilities that come from such
a system could get to a person. And that doesn't even cover the potential
hardware development and deployment problems that will inevitably arise!
But even so, it still is a cool idea in my humble opinion. Wouldn't it
be wild if we could actually get this thing to fly?

Pirates to Captain: Just Tell Us Where the Tourism Boats Are
by Michael Yessis | 05.14.10 | 11:53 AM ET
Chilling story by Sean Flynn in the latest GQ. He recounts the sagas of two hijacked boats in the Indian Ocean and tells how tourists—and tourism—are increasingly targets of pirates. One exchange:
"Tourism?" One of the pirates was close now. "Tourism boat?"
Roucou nodded. "Yes."
The pirates broke into wide smiles, congratulating themselves, celebrating.
"Where is tourism? Where?"
"No tourists," Roucou said. "There are none. They've all gone."
The pirate scowled, then dispatched a few of his men to search the Explorer. They returned, confirmed there were no passengers on board. The pirates were no longer pleased.
"Where tourists? Where?"
The tourist boats were a few hours to the south, three of them near Assumption Island. Roucou had seen them earlier that day: the Sea Bird, the Adventurer, and the Hebridean Spirit, with nearly 200 passengers and crew among them.
"There are none," Roucou told the pirates. "There's only us."
He'd answered quickly and surely, but the pirates did not believe him. Eight of them took most of the crew to the aft deck, and three stayed with Roucou and his chief engineer in the wheelhouse. One of them used the Explorer's satellite phone to call a contact in Somalia, who spoke perfect English. He put Roucou on the line with a man named Abdi.
"Tell them where the tourism boats are," Abdi said, "and they will let you go."

As nearly one in four American Olympians return home to California our state has a lot to be proud of.
(SACRAMENTO) – Today, Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino) issued the following statement regarding Assembly Bill 1326, a bill to regulate virtual currency:
"After several vigorous and valuable conversations and meetings with virtual currency experts, consumer organizations and others, I have decided to remove AB 1326 from consideration for a vote this year.
By Matt Dababneh
(SACRAMENTO) – Today, Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino) released the following statement regarding the passage of the 2016-17 state budget.
"Today I was able to vote for an on time and responsible budget that moves our state forward with key investments in our early, K-12 ,and higher education systems, and continues to build upon our budget reserves with an additional $2 billion deposit into the Rainy Day Fund.
AB 2693 will add transparency, disclosure, and oversight for homeowners who go green
(Sacramento) – Today, Assembly Bill 2693, the PACE Preservation and Consumer Protections Act, passed the Assembly Floor with a bipartisan vote of 75-0. Authored by Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino), Assembly Bill 2693 will require that prior to entering into a PACE loan, a homeowner must be provided a financing estimate and disclosure document. This disclosure document will notify homeowners that they may not be able to sell or refinance their home unless the PACE loan is paid off in its entirety, as well as, annual percentage rates, product costs, closing costs, and fees.
"While California's PACE program was drafted with the best intentions, like any new program, implementation has not been perfect," states Assemblymember Dababneh. "The PACE program, which has been an environmental success, unintentionally created a marketplace that has allowed contractors to sell financial products to homeowners without any consumer protections. Currently, there is no requirement for basic disclosures and homeowners are often misled to believe that the PACE program is a subsidized government program that carries no risk if they need to sell or refinance their home."
AB 1743 allows consumers to purchase or lease a car with an electronic signature
(Sacramento) – Today, Assembly Bill 1743, the Digital Modernization Act of 2016, authored by Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D – Encino) passed the Assembly Floor with a bipartisan vote of 70 to 0. Sponsored by the California New Car Dealers Association, AB 1743 will modernize California's Automobile Sales Finance Act and the California Vehicle Leasing Act by allowing consumers to purchase or lease a vehicle with an electronic signature.
"Electronic records and signatures have revolutionized the way commercial transactions are conducted and the car buying process should not be excluded," states Assemblymember Matt Dababneh. "Assembly Bill 1743 will bring the car buying process into the 21st century by allowing consumers to electronically purchase or lease a car, if they opt to do so."
(SACRAMENTO) - HR 28 authored by Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino) was adopted with bipartisan support today in the State Assembly; additionally, 73 members from both sides of the aisle proudly signed on as co-authors for HR 28. Sponsored by Social Compassion in Legislation, HR 28 calls on the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the State Board of Education, and the California Department of Education to ensure compliance with the Education Code relative to Humane Education in California's public school system.
(SACRAMENTO) – Today, Assemblymember Matt Dababneh (D-Encino) issued the following statement regarding the passage of Senate Bill 380 on the Assembly Floor:
"Today, I worked with my colleagues in the State Assembly to pass SB 380, an urgent measure to protect the health and safety of Valley residents. This bill will halt all natural gas injections into the Aliso Canyon Storage Facility pending rigorous and comprehensive safety tests."

The Otters play the second of four road games in November. In contrast, they have nine home games. ... They are 2-6-1-0 on the road, tied for second worst in the OHL. ... The Rangers are the league's only undefeated team at home (8-0-0-0 by a combined 30-13 score). ... The Otters and Rangers meet for the first of eight times in the regular season. Kitchener won seven of eight games in the season series a season ago. ... The Rangers (13-5-1-1) have won five straight and eight of their past 10 games (8-1-1-0) to move into a tie for second with London (28 points) in the Midwest Division, three points behind front-running Owen Sound. Five points separate the Attack from fourth-place Guelph in the division. The last-place Otters are 11 points behind the Storm. ... The Otters are five points behind eighth-place Windsor in the chase for the Western Conference's final playoff spot. ... The Rangers rank in the bottom five of the league with 55 goals scored. But they have the top scoring defense (43 goals against in 20 games). ... The Otters have scored 68 goals but rank near the bottom with 86 goals against. ... Kitchener G John Gibson, a Pittsburgh native, has an 11-3-0-0 record and league-best 1.89 goals-against average and .941 save percentage. ... The Storm (12-8-0-2) enter tonight's game against Mississauga with the league's highest-scoring offense (84 goals) despite not having not one player among the top 20 in points and having only one player in the top 20 in goals (RW Scott Kosmachuk 12, tied for 18th with Otters C Connor McDavid). The Storm have six players with at least seven goals and 12 players with double-digit points. ... They have one of the league's worst defenses (80 goals against). ... They have lost three straight and seven of their past 10 games. ... The first 1,000 fans at Saturday's game receive a limited edition McDavid poster. ... McDavid will play for Team Ontario in the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge Dec. 29 to Jan. 4 in Victoriaville and Drummondville, Quebec.

"Yeah he was really Bio to me."
"Woah, look at the boy Bio."
The funny thing is, this describes me near-perfectly (except that I can jump high, and I'm often not an asshole). Haven't had sex, though, but maybe those parts will eventually be true as well.

Charity credit cards, credit cards that donate a portion of your spending to a charitable organization, have increased in popularity the past few years as companies vie for your business. In the past, credit card companies often replaced reward programs with these charitable programs, keeping their costs the same while offering something new cardholders may prefer. Now, many of the charity credit cards offer both – the standard 1% rewards program plus a small donation based on your spending. With where transaction fees are nowadays, it doesn't cut too deeply into their bottom line.
I prefer to donate money directly to organizations for several reasons. First, I try not to spend a lot on my credit cards. If a card donates 25 cents on every $100 and I spend $1,000 a month, that's a mere $2.50. In my mind, I may be thinking I'm far more generous than I really am and forget to give otherwise. Second, 1% is fine as a backup card but there are categories in which you can earn more than 1% as cash, rather than "rewards" that can be watered down in value. Third, I can get a tax deduction on my donations (this only mitigates the fact that I'd be donating more directly than through a card).
Ultimately, these types of cards are emotionally appealing but you still have to analyze them as you would any other credit card. Check the terms and conditions to get the full scoop on interest rates, annual fee, rules, etc. If you carry a balance and one of these cards has a higher interest rate than your existing card, it doesn't help you or the supported organization. You'll end up paying more interest, money you could use to directly contribute to the cause. Incidentally, none of the cards listed have an annual fee but some charity credit cards do.
Having said all that, the first card listed offers a very compelling offer if you're a supporter of micro-financing projects in developing countries. I think the old paradigm of nations simply loaning or giving (we tend to forgive the loans anyway) billions of dollars to developing countries is less effective than individuals loaning money directly to entrepreneurs through micro-financing. Rather than giving fish, you help teach a man how to fish.
Kiva BusinessCard
The Organization: Kiva [3] is an organization that lets individuals offer micro-loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. You can sign up to Kiva, read about all the entrepreneurs who need funding, then fund the project. Kiva handles the transaction. They aren't monitored by CharityNavigator but they are a registered 503(c)3 non-profit organization.
The Cards: If you want to support Kiva, you will want the Kiva BusinessCard. Advanta will match dollar for dollar on your grant to Kiva for up to $200 per account per month. They will also give you a 5% statement credit on your first $1,200 each year in grants to Kiva (they call them grants, rather than loans, it's a legal thing). When the loan from the matching grant is repaid, the funds are returned to Advanta (when your grant is repaid, you can decide what you will do with it).
The card also has a tiered-rewards program based on your purchases (there are no tiers for the statement credit because of Kiva grants, that is 5% starting at the first dollar). The Kiva BusinessCard also has an introductory 0% APR balance transfer [4] offer for 15 months, no annual fee, and is open to individuals.
The Nature Conservancy Platinum Plus Visa
The Organization: The Nature Conservancy [5] is an organization that seeks to "preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive." Headquartered in Arlington, VA, they score four stars on Charity Nagivator's ranking with a score of 65.45 [6] and a fund-raising efficiency of $0.11 (they spend only 11 cents to raise each $1).
The Card: The Nature Conservancy Platinum Plus® Visa® Credit Card is offered by FIA Card Services, N.A., the credit card division of Bank of America, and they donate 0.25% of all net retail purchases to The Nature Conservancy. So, for ever $100 you spent, The Nature Conservancy gets $0.25. This is a pretty standard donation amount for these types of cards offered by Bank of America.
This card also offers Worldpoints, which is Bank of America's cashback points system at 1 point per dollar of spending. New card holders will also receive a complimentary one year membership and subscription to Nature Conservancy magazine. Finally, it also offers a 12 month 0% balance transfer and no annual fee.
Ducks Unlimited
The Organization: Ducks Unlimited [7] "conserves, restores and manages wetlands and associated habitats for North America's waterfowl. These habitats also benefit other wildlife and people." They are headquartered out of Memphis, TN with a Charity Navigator rating of 41.73 [8], primarily because they are in a weak financial state.
The Card: The Ducks Unlimited card is another card offered by Bank of America. While it's not written on the application or in the terms & conditions, other screens show that they donate 0.25% of net retail purchases to the organization. The card has no annual fee and offers an introductory 0% balance transfer for 12 months.
Brighter Planet™ Visa
The Organization: Brighter Planet [9] "is dedicated to helping you take charge in the fight against global warming and build a clean-energy future. With a majority of Americans wanting to do something for the environment, our products are an effective way for individuals and businesses to reduce their impact on the climate." They have tools to help you determine your environmental impact and then a variety of ways (products you can purchase, such as ) to help you offset your carbon footprint.
The Card: The Brighter Planet™ Visa Credit Card is another offering from Bank of America and you earn $1 EarthSmart™ point for every $1 spent in net retail purchases. A thousand (1000) EarthSmart points will be converted into "an estimated 1 ton of carbon offsets," through the financing of projects such as wind turbines, farm methane and solar energy. After your first purchase, you'll automatically earn 1,000 bonus points and you can earn another 1,000 bonus points for electing paperless statements. The card has no annual fee and offers an introductory 0% balance transfer for 12 billing cycles.
Bank of America has several of these types of cards, if you look around you can probably find one that donates to an organization you support.

Mathew Rose's love of letter-writing didn't begin with a note to a cute girl or a plea to Santa, but rather as an appeal to someone with a little more influence: the President of the United States.
"I wrote Nixon about racism and told him he should stop it," Rose said. "Fairly naive on my part, but I was 9."
Fairly naive, but also ambitious and idealistic. And despite the fact that it didn't quite work, Rose wasn't discouraged from future letter-writing.
Article Photos
Matthew Rose, seen in his studio, will have 333 artworks on display at Converge Gallery, 140 W. Fourth St., as a part of his "Love Letters"?exhibition. The opening reception will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday.
"Writing and reading letters (for me) is the poetic history of my life and my friend's lives and, of course, the lives of my electric and gas company," Rose said. "They document the world around us."
It makes sense, then, that Rose's next art exhibition at Converge Gallery, 140 W. Fourth St., will be all about letters.
"In this exhibition, I've combined images with letters from a young French boy writing his parents from Tunisia in 1948," Rose said. "They document his life and his desire to keep his voice alive in his parents' hearts."
Prior to the exhibition, which opens Saturday with a reception and artist talk at 6 p.m., Rose put out a call for love letters. He wanted to get the public involved in the exhibition while encouraging them to pick up the pen themselves.
"So much art is static, non-participatory, confusing and as a result, distressing and often the object of ridicule," Rose said. "Art is a window on our consciousness and this project, as well as my other projects involving the mail, bring people together in many different ways. Artists can provide the glue to culture; I'm interested in correspondence in all its flavors."
At the exhibition, there will be a stack of unopened letters that the gallery received on Rose's behalf, which may be taken home by gallery-goers.
"I want people to read and experience letters in a new and different way, or at least in the old way and consider the joys of correspondence and text and images and the mind and voice behind it all," Rose said.
The Paris-based artist has produced 333 artworks that deal with several letters in several ways, all of which will be on display at the show.
"Many of these works are actually letters, and most if not all have been sent through the mail," Rose said.
But he was quick to get semantic about the definition of "letters" - not much of a surprise when one learns that he studied semiotics (the study of signs and symbols) at Brown University.
"What is a letter, really? A word sent in an envelope? A post card? A money gram? Look at what could be a letter!" he said.
He also connected letters to notes he received as a child and to artwork in general.
"My mother used to send me clippings from newspapers and write on the articles. My father used to write me all cap notes on my birthday or forward checks to me and sign them 'YOU'RE RICH! LOVE YOUR DADDY,' " he said. "I'm so attracted to handwriting, mistakes in spelling, syntax and grammar ... they are like Jackson Pollock drips!"
Rose thinks that society has lost something because it has lost its love for mail.
"I have lost something and I believe that people have become a little less interested in the writer's voice, their correspondents' voices," he said. "Now we seem to have quite a bit of illiterate rantings on social media and message boards, text messages salted with smiley faces and in general a kind of messy graffiti hitting us non-stop."
As far as the literary future of our culture is concerned, some of Rose's 9-year-old optimism comes back to the surface.
"Perhaps we're losing the ability to articulately listen and respond to people, but maybe not," he said. "Perhaps this is simply a form of literary evolution."

Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Just in time for an Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) event that's expected to introduce the world to a mini version of the hot-selling iPad today, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT ) has reportedly sold out all pre-orders for its new Surface tablet here in the U.S. and two versions in the U.K.
Low-end sales have been especially brisk. Within 24 hours of taking orders for the new tablets using a low-power chipset based on ARM Holdings (Nasdaq: ARMH ) designs, a $499 Wi-Fi-only version sold out domestically. All models were sold out as of yesterday, G4TV reported .
In the U.K., limited pre-order releases of the 32-gigabyte Surface and an edition with the Touch Cover keyboard were sold out as of this morning, ZDNet reports. And that's in spite of a lukewarm response from some corners of the punditocracy.
My Foolish colleague Rick Munarriz on Sunday listed several potential hurdles for the Surface. Over at The Wall Street Journal, tech reviewer Walter Mossberg says Microsoft "deserves credit for giving Windows a new, modern, face" while noting that the software design will require some users to relearn what had been "the most familiar computing system on the planet."

• The role of cultural forces in either promoting or discouraging interpersonal violence is so obvious that it has been allowed to obscure the part played by biologic disorders in determining responses to endogenous and environmental challenges. Neuroscientists and clinicians have demonstrated, however, that aggression has a neuroanatomic and chemical basis, that developmental and acquired brain disorders contribute to recurrent interpersonal violence, that both biologic and sociologic factors are involved, and that to ignore either is to invite error.

Has a little tray.
So I can take with things I need,
Or just think I may.
When it was brand new,
To hold a set of wrenches
Perhaps a pliers or two.
A set of sockets all laid out
In a nice straight row,
With a crescent wrench and hammer
In the space below.
The engineer who drew it up,
I'm quite sure had no thought,
That it should hold most every tool
I have ever bought.
As field work starts out in the spring,
The box is pretty neat.
And finding just the tool I need
Is really quite a treat.
Then as the grain drill finds some junk
Left from that old fence line,
The toolbox starts to gain some weight;
That's not a real good sign.
Soon we start to cultivate
And then begin to spray.
With each job different kinds of scrap
Pile up inside the tray.
Shear bolts from the combine
Are pretty hard to tell,
From ones that fit the ditcher
And the snow blower as well.
Beet harvest brings a challenge
To slip in an extra part,
That I may need to fix a truck
When it just won't start.
Some 60 chain, a scalper knife,
Perhaps an extra flail.
'Til squeezing in just one more thing
Has no way but to fail.
I can't get to the bottom
To find the wrench I need.
I planted scrap iron in the spring
And now it's gone to seed.
Life is like that toolbox,
Some times too filled with stuff.
So take some time this winter,
Clean out the worthless stuff.
