Ada Evening News, The (Newspaper) - July 18, 1962, Ada, Oklahoma Clay Says Khrushchev Uses Berlin To Divide NATO Allies EDITORS: This is the first of a two-part series based on an ex- clusive interview with Gen. Lucius D. Clay. GEN. LUCIUS CLAY He Had Problem... By SAUL PETT Associated Press Writer President Kennedy's personal representative to Berlin feels So- viet Premier Khrushchev may be using that perennial crisis to sow fears and differences among the Western Allies and impede Euro- pean progress toward political unity. Gen, Lucius D. Clay, who com- manded the 1948-49 operation that broke the Berlin blockade, says he notes substantial improvement in West Berlin's situation at the moment and adds he sees no im- mediate change in prospect. But he cautions Khrushchev con- ceivably might risk war over the city, not because he wants free West Berlin that Badly; but be- i cause "he wants to destroy the [movement toward political unity in Western Europe." Clay, to many Germans a sym- bol of a U.S. promise not to aban- don West Berlin to communism, advanced his views in an exclu- sive and unusually illuminating interview in New York with The Associated Press, the first half of which follows in question and an- swering form. The second half of the interview will be presented Thursday. Q. You ar.e getting to be quite a commuter to Berlin aren't you, general? A. Well I hope I'll be lengthen- ing the time between visits, be- cause I think they are in a status quo there now. It could last for many, many months. Q. Why? A, Well in the first place the morale of the people in Berlin has withstood the wall and there is not much that the Communists can do to frighten Berlin short of those measures that would un- doubtedly lead to massive counter measures. The pin-pricks which they might exert against the Al- lies carried great risk. And they proved to be a failure in disturb- ing the Berliners. So I don't see what they have to gain out of tak- ing that risk. Q. Will your mission continue for the duration of the Berlin crisis? A. I don't think we know. The President has asked me to con- tine as an adviser and obviously i there is very little advice to give' as long as we stay in the position of status quo. As far as Berlin is concerned there has been a substantial improvement. Q. In what .way? A. Well the morale of the peo- ple has returned to normal and in fact I think they are probably more determined than ever to hold out. The economy of the city has recovered from the initial shock and looks like it is on the move again. Q. But. the basic situation as between the 'West and the Rus- sians? A. It remains unchanged and I don't see any immediate' change in prospect. Q. What do you suppose was behind Khrushchev's recent pro- posal, which we rejected, that Western troops in Berlin be re- placed by Norwegian-Danish or Belgian-Dutch plus Czech-Polish forces? A. I think Mr. Khrushchev would like very much to get the Allies out of West Berlin. The presence of the Allied troops there and the rapid development of the city has of course made it a veri- table citadel of freedom behind the Iron Curtain which he would like to destroy. Now this proposal, to replace the Allies with the troops of other nations, of course, doesn't make very much sense. We are in Ber- lin as a result of victory in war. Many of these nations -were not even in the war. There is no right to garrison Berlin per se.-The peo- ple of West Berlin cannot be made to accept garrisons from any and all countries. We have added to that a firm commitment to the people of West Berlin that as long as they want our troops there they will be' there. We couldn't give up on that commitment under any cir- cumstances.

Gen. Fred Hansen to divide Tul- sa Oklahoma and Comanche counties into legislative districts. Hansen wrote Sens. Yates Land of Tulsa, Cleeta John Rogers of Oklahoma City and Fred Harris of Lawton and Reps Bryce Baggett of Oklahoma City and John McCune of Tulsa asking them to prepare proposed House and senate district boundaries of their counties. Hansen said he wanted to submit such plans to a spe- cial three-judge federal Airline Strike Settlement Looks Near WASHINGTON (AP) Nego- tiators appeared near settlement today of the 25-day, flight en- gineers strike against Eastern Air Lines. Representatives of the Flight Engineers International Associa- tion were reliably reported close to agreement on the basis of a company offer made to the union Tuesday. The airline, in making the offer said that if the union had not ac- cepted by 6 p.m. EOT today, the carrier then would seek to come to terms with individual engi- neers and try to put its grounded planes into the air. The main stumbling block to a settlement reportedly was the union's insistence on an ironclad guarantee from the government that if engineers took pilot train- ing, as the airline proposed, the government would prevent any forced inclusion of the engineers in the Air Line Pilots Association. The engineers were reported seeking a more precise guarantee along this line than the govern- ment had provided in a tentative settlement worked out for Trans World Airlines engineers. Other elements of Eastern's settlement offer to the striking en- gineers were reported acceptable to the union. The airline described its propo- sal as an offer "which requires specific time for its acceptance." court July 31. Both Land and McCune said they would oppose any plan to di- vide Tulsa County into legislative districts. They said they wanted no part of a ward system they believed legislative districts with- in the county would create. Both said they would prefer to have House and Senate members elected at large as they now are in Tulsa County. Baggett declined to comment di- rectly on Hansen's proposal. Bag- gett said he has been working with House Speaker J.D. McCarty on reapportionment plans and would submit suggestions to the Attorney General's office when they are completed. Harris said he would want to give further study to the district- ,ng plan before making any com- ment. The Lawton lawmaker said assumed that under Hansen's plan Comanche County senators would be elected at large. Hansen has already submitted to the court his plan for reappor- tioning the legislature.

Kennedy met with Am- bassador Anatoly F. Dobry- nin for an hour Tuesday night in his office at the White House, They also dis- cussed Laos, disarmament and the problem of a ban on nuclear tests. Dobrynin said as he climbed into his limousine to return to his embassy, "It would be Improper for me to comment."

Ber- lin's military protection. The President's move came two days before Secretary of State Dean Rusk leaves for Geneva where he plans to talk over the East-West Berlin stalemate with Soviet Foreign 'Minister Andrei A. Gromyko. The occasion for :heir gathering in Geneva will be the signing of accords on the neu- tralization of Laos. Position Reinforced The effect of Kennedy's action is to reinforce Rusk's position at a crucial stage of the U.S.-Soviet talks. The talks which began last Sop ;ember are deadlocked. There is .ittle .hope in official quarters that the deadlock can be broken in the predictable future. There .is some lingering hope that if Khrushchev fully understands U.S. determina- tion in support of West Berlin he may be willing to reach some agreement on what the diplomats call a "modus way of living with the situation without stirring up major crises periodi- cally. Stand Made Clear .It was authoritatively reported that Kennedy's main concern in the unusual. session with Dobry- nin was to emphaszie personally the importance he attaches to the U.S. position that the Soviet de- mand for withdrawal of U.S., Brit- ish and French troops from West Berlin is nonnegotiable. This demand has dominated the recent Rusk-Dobrynin talks at the State Department to such a de- gree that Rusk told a news con- ference last week that it was way to sterilize the. dishes.

Coup Upsets Deal To Put Ex Dictator In Office; Troops Surround Palace LIMA, Peru (AP) Troops moved in on the govern- ment palace early today and seized President Manuel Prado in a military coup. The coup, climaxing weeks of crisis, was bloodless. Tanks and troops surrounded the palace, then Prado was taken away in a military vehicle. The military acted after charging that the June 10 presidential elections were fraudulent. A last minute political deal to swing the disputed presidency to former dicta- tor Manuel Odria failed.- The target of the army wrath was Victor Raul Maya de la Torre, controversial political fig- ure who ran first in the election but failed to get enough votes for MISS Ada" (Sharon Eclair) took off car for th. trip.

KNICKMEYER Francis citizens are eyeing their water supply nowadays with cautious optimism. Recent sand-fracturing opera- tions have increased the flow of water from 'city wells; a new pump of larger capacity has been acquired for one of the wells; the 'State Health Depart- ment is checking one well, which, if approved, will give the town three wells to draw on; and even as it stands now, the level in the water tank is slow- ly rising. "According to our pressure gauge, the tank is better than half full Don Eurkhead, city councilman, said Tuesday. "It indicates we're producing more water than we're using." Other councilmen also ex- pressed hopeful views. "It looks pretty Ernest Matthews said. And H. L. Kelley con- curred: "We've got plenty of water now." Actually, the Francis water problem has been complicated by a number of factors, some of them conducive to a certain amount of hard feeling among the citizenry. Sorest spot at the moment seems to be the line to the "old city wells northeast of town in the Canadian bottom. This line, no longer used to bring water to Francis (the health department didn't like those open is still connected to the system. People living along the three- mile line formerly were permit- ted to hook onto it for house- hold use, in return for ease- ments. However, when the town discontinued use of the river wells, the valve connecting the line to the system was shut off. At intervals since then, the valve has been found open; and since the beginning of the dry summer of '62, with Francis it- self hurting for water, the towns- people haven't taken kindly to the idea of having water from within the city limits piped out into the country. Even if there were plenty of water to go around, councilman Burkhead notes, the old line itself is a headache. It tends to develop leaks along its three- mile length. "We lost three tanks of water that way last Burkhead said. And since the line takes off across country, the only way to check it is to walk along, its length. So the town cut the line off. However, as late as Monday, Burkhead found the valve open again. Burkhead himself would like to'see the old line taken up, he says. But here another compli- cating factor enters the pic- ture: Francis has not had an elec- tion of city councilmen since about 1947.

A leftist but anti-Communist, he long has been at odds with the army and other politicians. His Popular Revolutionary Alli- ance (APRA) agreed Tuesday to throw the presidency to the right- ist Odria, who was third in the voting. The military, however, appar- ently would not settle for such an arrangement although Odria is a conservative. Odria would need the support of Haya's forces in Congress, where the Odria and Haya groups would have a ma- jority. The newspaper El Comercio An Ada man said he swerved to miss a child and wound up side- swiping a parked car Tuesday morning, but he was charged by city police with reckless driving. Dr. Robert E. Cowling, 60, 630 West First, was driving in the 200 block of West Thirteenth when his car hit the side of a parked auto owned by Zora Davidson, 55, Route 3, Ada. Police said Cowling told them he swerved across the center of the pavement to avoid hitting a "kid." He pleaded not guilty to charges of reckless driving. Davidson was charged with improper parking. Three speeding charges were filed in Municipal Court against Ward E. Postman, 25, Wanda Jo 'Shores, 27, and Elwood Pitsen- It cost them each. Wayne D. Brown, 22, and Lester T. Vaughn, 56, were charged with public drunkenness.____________ said Prado, was taken to the naval base of San Lorenzo just off the coast at Callao, Lima's seaport. The constitution requires that congress choose the president from among the three top men in the election unless the high man gets one-third of the total vote.

"This will become the major is- sue of. the 1962 campaign and I expect the President will redouble his efforts for Humphrey said. Chairman John M.

(AP) -The largest space vehicle ever sent aloft a balloon which in- flated to the height of a 13-story building was rocketed 950 miles above the Atlantic Ocean today as a forerunner of an advanced Echo communications satellite. The gleaming- silvery sphere, dubbed "Big provided a brief but spectacular show for ground observers in the Cape Canaveral area as it separated from the Thor booster, .expanded to its full 135-foot diameter, and drifted across the predawn sky. It was visible for nearly 10 min- utes .before becoming obscured by haze and cloud. Today's shot.was to determine whether 'the balloon would expand and hold its form after being sent aloft. There were no communica- tions tests. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced success -of the mission, which paves the way for launching a similar balloon into orbit later this year as the Echo n experi- mental communications satellite. After rising to 950 miles the bal- loon plunged back and burned up asintended in the earth's atmos- phere. Death of the sphere oc- curred, about 23 minutes after the a.m. launching, some 800 miles south of the cape. A television camera mounted in the head of the Thor booster rock- et sent live pictures of the bal- loon inflation to a monitor on the Cape. Officials reported they were of excellent quality and clearly showed the inflating of the balloon after it was released from a can- ister in tlie nose of the Thor. Recovery craft waited about 250 miles northeast of San Salva- dor to try to pick up films made by a -movie camera aboard the rocket that also recorded the in- flation process.

CalFire has lifted the seasonal burn ban effective Oct. 1 after a series of early rains rolled through the area. This weekend's rain totaled 1.88 inches as measured by Howard Forest Ranger Station. This rainfall added to the .92 inches received in the Willits area on Sept. 21.
While the burn ban is lifted residential burn permits are still required. These permits are available at the Little Lake Fire House and Brooktrails Fire Department.
"Area residents are reminded that burn permits are required. Those burning should follow the precautions listed on the burn permit. Permittees are urged to be mindful of weather conditions when burning, as the weather can still be warm and windy especially at the beginning of the burn season," says Brooktrails Deputy Chief Jon Noyer.
Household burning is only allowed on days the Air Quality Management District authorizes. Contact 463-4391 or toll free toll free (800)-992-5441 and enter 4391 at the prompt to find out if it is a burn day.
Only clean, dry vegetation grown on a property may be burned in a pile no bigger than 4 feet by 4 feet. Combustibles must be removed around the burn pile to provide at least 10 feet of clearance.
A responsible adult must attend the fire until it is dead out, with adequate water and a shovel at hand.
The burn permittee is responsible for the cost of extinguishing any escaped fire and for any damage it causes.
"Open burning of vegetation is a valuable tool that homeowners can use to create defensible space around their home, however the use of open burning to dispose of garbage is a crime that can result in hefty fines or imprisonment," said a spokesman for the Air Quality Management District. "Besides being a crime the burning of garbage pollutes our air and water and threatens the health of local residents."

Les Secrets
Short Story by: Antonio Rivera
Status: Finished
Genre: Flash Fiction
Under a Seattle sky, where dryness is uncommon, two hearts bounded together sit in a warm room, heated by their breath, from talking, speaking, sharing, never stopping the communication from tongue to tongue, only breaking conversation to mix fluids in their mouths, some call it love, some call it lust, they call it freedom.
He kisses her once more and says, "I love you."
She replies with the same three words, then pauses.
"It's nothing," she replies.
He now relishes to find out.
"No, tell me."
"It's nothing really."
He knew that some secret existed within her throat, she hesitated, tried to change the subject, but his mind, it was entertained, curious, too curious to allow that brief pause to go unanswered.
"You're not telling me something."
"Why would you think that?"
Their love was on pause, it still existed, but now a problem arose, one she tried to avoid, one he paid too much attention to.
"It's nothing really. Leave it alone please?"
"You can't say something like that and expect me to leave it alone."
She tensed up, her lips quivered, because there was something that she wasn't telling him, a secret, information that he wanted to know, though he had no idea what it could or would be about.
She parted her cherry red lips, licked them moist, kissed him, prepared to tell him, to confess a deep, repressed secret.
His attention, for a moment, left her eyes, and went to his phone, she noticed the light illuminating the screen, she wouldn't have questioned it, but his face, it too lit up as the phone did, then almost unnoticeably his face altered color, becoming the same cherry red as her lips.
"What is it?"
"What is what?"
"Your face, you look nervous."
He swallowed a breath that was never meant to be surfaced, then smiled to assure that everything was fine, she didn't give into the whiteness of his teeth, she stared, like a hawk, focused on his eyes, and how they swarmed the room, seemingly looking for an escape.
"Seriously, what the hell is wrong?"
"Woah, why are you getting so hostile?"
"Because you look guilty, like you're hiding something."
"Well I'm not, just leave it alone please?"
She seemed taken back by it, confused by her very same words being spit back onto her face like a well deserved insult.
"I'm going to sleep."
"What the hell? We were having a great time, what happened?"
"You're not telling me something, I can tell."
He obstructed.
"I'm not telling you something? What about a couple of minutes ago, when you didn't tell me why you paused."
"It was nothing, really."
"No it was."
They bounced the anger off one another, absorbing negative energy, and releasing it to no one but each other, the night had been ruined, like the seattle ground, her cheeks were wet with tears, he remained in shambles, but neither of them told their secrets that night.
They both went to sleep, knowing something that the other did not.

826 Chapters
826 National was featured in a 2013 report by The Wallace Foundation about afterschool arts programs. The report, Something to Say: Success Principles for Afterschool Arts Programs from Urban Youth and Other Experts, offers insights directly from tweens, teens and their families; teachers and leaders in the arts and youth development; and 10 principles for attracting and retaining an audience often thought hard to engage: low-income urban tweens. The report also includes in-person case studies of eight youth development organizations — The Wallace Foundation's selections of "best in class"— including 826 National. The Wallace Foundation also created a video profile about our After School Tutoring program, which can be viewed here.

5GB With Catie Curtis; Playing Eddie's Attic Tonight, May 8th
Boston singer/songwriter Catie Curtis has played a variety of venues ranging from Chicago's legendary Old Town School of Folk Music to the White House. her upcoming album, Stretch Limousine on Fire (out August 30) features performances by drummer Jay Bellerose and bassist Jennifer Condos, both of whom are currently touring as part of Ray LaMontagne's Pariah Dogs. She joined us for our 5GB series before her show tonight at Eddie's Attic.
What's the first gig you ever attended?
Tiny Tim at a town hall in South Portland, ME. My parents took me when I was six. My dad loved "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." The first big arena show I bought tickets to was Journey in Portland, ME. We got there early and were happily pressed up against the barrier by the front of the stage. I loved it. At the end I snagged their set list and Neal Schon's guitar pick.
What is the best gig that you ever played/performed?
I had such a blast touring with Lilith Fair, the first time around, and performing Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" with Sarah McLachlin, Bonnie Raitt and Natalie Merchant. But the best gigs, where I lose myself and feel most connected to the crowd, are always in the smaller clubs, like The Tractor Tavern in Seattle and Eddie's Attic in Decatur.
What is the best gig you have ever seen?
Lucinda Williams and Morphine at SXSW in Austin in the 90's. Everyone was up on their feet swaying and drinking and it was like a cauldron of deliciousness.
Gig you would most like to play?
I have my officiant's license, so I sometimes officiate weddings and play a song for the couple. So I would like to marry Jodie Foster– I mean, marry her to her bride of course.
What would be the lineup for your dream gig?
Jay Bellarose (who drummed on my last CD "Stretch Limousine on Fire") on drums, Kevin Barry on guitar, Jennifer Condos on bass, Elana Arian on fiddle, and different guest vocalists for every song– Emmylou Harris, Chris Martin (Coldplay), and Joan Armatrading… for a start!
Catch Catie Curtis Today May 8 at Eddie's Attic

DALLAS, March 20 -- Just because you're getting older doesn't mean senility is inevitable. In fact, a Swedish study published in this month's Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association suggests that controlling blood pressure may help prevent the memory loss associated with aging.
In a 20-year study of 999 Swedish men scientists found a relationship between those who had high blood pressure in their 50s and brain dysfunction in their older years. The connection was particularly strong in those men not receiving treatment for their high blood pressure.
A common form of dementia, a condition of deteriorated mentality usually striking the elderly, is vascular dementia. It results when blood vessels in the brain are damaged. Considering this, the researchers looked to see if it were possible to reverse this type of dementia before it began.
"Our results support the hypothesis that hypertension can lead to cognitive impairment," says Lena Kilander, M.D., Ph.D., in the department of clinical neurosciences at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. "Because a linkage has been established, it is urgent to investigate whether further decline can be postponed by a more intensive preventive treatment."
The men in this particular study were followed as part of another larger investigation that began in the 1970s in Uppsala, Sweden. The current journal report is based on research in which the men took two tests designed to measure thinking ability and motor skills. Those results were then measured against blood pressure readings obtained 20 years ago.
Researchers found that thinking ability was highest in the men with the lowest blood pressure measurement -- defined as a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) less than 70 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg) -- and lowest in men with a DBP greater than 105 mm/Hg. Diastolic is the "lower" number of a blood pressure reading.
Co-authors are Hakan Nyman, Ph.D; Merike Boberg, M.D., Ph.D; Lennart Hansson, M.D., Ph.D.; Hans Lithell, M.D., Ph.D.

Firstly, I purchased my phones, two Iphone 5s, outright from the Apple store. I spoke with T-Mobile person at T-Mobile store, who said that a family plan will be $90/month inclusive of all fees, and that I can receive a discount because of my affiliations with the state. When service was established, I was told I would have to wait one month after first bill before discount and I had to provide a $90 deposit because it is month-to-month. The first bill was more than $90. One month later, I was also told I could not get discount unless I provided my social security number on a month-to-month contract and my bill was actually $120.00. I decided to cancel service. So, in one day on Jan 25th, 2014, I called T-Mobile to cancel service and asked how much my final bill to-date was, and paid $11.50 -- I was told by the T-Mobile representative I would get my full deposit of $90 back in 30 days. On the same day I moved my phone numbers to H2O Wireless. These numbers originally came from AT&T. 30 days later, I received a bill for T-Mobile for $20, covering a billing cycle after my service was terminated. I was told that T-Mobile continued to bill me, and took by $90 dollars deposit, and I owed an additional $20 for a service period for which I did not have service (on a month-to-month contract), because that was the policy. There were so many contradictory phone calls on this, at the end of the day, I recognized that I was lied to and cheated.

Monster Monday: Kristian collaborates with My Singing Monsters to create the Shugabush!
They promised us jetpacks. I remember during the 1984 Olympics, someone used one, and it blew my mind.
I had the same feeling when I plugged in my Atari game console and got to play video games over and over without putting in a quarter.
When I made my fingers play Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" for the first time, or when I heard my own voice come out of the car radio I was listening to and almost drove off the road...
Today, I am playing a game developed by someone far away, a game my son showed me six weeks ago, a game that features an animated monster who looks and sounds like me, singing and playing a mandolin... MIND. BLOWN.
I am constantly reminded that our imagination is the beginning of all things that happen. Whatever is happening right now as you read this, from the seat you are sitting in to the screen you are reading this on, someone somewhere imagined it, and then they asked the question, "Well, how would I do that?"
Imagining things -- writing songs, building albums, making bands, creating set designs and album covers, t-shirts and recording studios -- that is what I do. As with most anything in life, the more we practice a skill, the easier it becomes. Like a runner who started running one mile, then two, eventually a half marathon happens, and it blows your mind.
I was sitting with Tucker, it was Father's Day, he was playing a game on the iPad and I was unconsciously singing along to the song coming out of the game while I was cooking breakfast. I am interested in my children -- they are so fascinating and incredible to me -- so I asked what he was doing. He said he was playing a new game called My Singing Monsters. He showed me how to play and I loved it. It hit me in that sweet spot between my old Sim City obsession and my love for the Muppets. An hour later, I picked up my phone and tweeted how much I enjoyed the game. Just sent the thought into the ether. I think I even started the tweet with, "Dear the Internet..."
Dave, the game's designer, saw the tweet and responded. We met on the phone and imagined me playing along to the song in the game. (You can read more about our collaboration in Fast Company here.) A few days later there was this photo of what the "Shugabush" monster would look like, and within a week I had the song in my studio in Atlanta, where I started creating a part that goes along with the other monsters.
Soon, the team at Big Blue Bubble (the game developers) had imagined all sorts of stuff: the monster's name, what he likes, how to breed him (hint: Bowgart + Clamble), what to feed him, amazing details. The entire picture came together, and what started as a simple conversation between me and my son on a Sunday morning has become something that is now blowing my mind.
So here we go. My monster debut. Monster Monday! The song already existed before I showed up. I did not write it, but I did carefully design my part in the monster symphony. The mandolin part begins only as a rhythm, running the chords in a circle, finding the groove of the other monsters. As my monster keeps playing he drifts into a Led Zeppelin-like single-note lick in the second part, and then gets so lost in the moment that he starts singing. If you have seen me perform, then you will appreciate the game animators' choices and smile as you see me come to life.
The one thing I will caution is that you need patience. Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for. I fully expect to get a lot of really excited tweets in a few days once the Shugabush has time to breed. :)
I hope you play the game and enjoy it as much as I have. I cannot express how deep my respect is for Dave Kerr and the others at Big Blue Bubble for having such skill at bring their imaginations to life. I hope this is the beginning of many more monsters and many more ideas.
And I hope that you imagine something today, no matter how big or small, and ask yourself, "How would I do that?" You never know what might happen. Dreams come true.
Monstrously yours,
Download the game for free to meet Shugabush!

Citation: ST LAWRENCE, S., WALIA, P., WILLETT, J.L. STARCH FILLED TERNARY POLYMER COMPOSITES I: DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. JOURNAL OF POLYMER ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE. 2004. Interpretive Summary: The use of starch in plastic materials is often limited by poor mechanical properties which preclude development of commercially acceptable materials. In this study, starch was added to a blend of two plastics, one of which adheres to the starch. Small amounts of this component were used in the blends. The effect of temperature on the structure and mechanical properties of these three component blends was characterized. The properties depended on the composition, the interactions between the individual materials and the distribution of the minor component which adheres to starch. It was determined that this component was preferentially located on the surface of the starch granules. This surface coating changes the temperature dependent mechanical properties. The results of this study provide a more fundamental understanding of how the addition of a second resin can impact the mechanical properties of starch-filled plastics. Scientists, engineers, and producers of starch-based plastics will be able to utilize these results to design better materials using more starch.
Technical Abstract: It has been shown that the dynamic mechanical properties of starch filled blends of polyethylene (PE) and poly (hydroxy ester ether) (PHEE) are strongly dependent on the properties and distribution of the minor component of the blend (PHEE). The effect of this minor component on the viscoelastic properties of the composite was investigated by modeling the storage modulus using a step-wise homogenization process. A comparison of theoretical and experimental data indicates that the morphology changes as the volume fraction of filler, volume fraction increases. At low volume fraction, the PHEE encapsulates isolated starch granules. Above volume fraction less than 0:2, the PHEE surface coating contributes to the formation of particle clusters. Evidence of particle encapsulation was provided by a morphological examination of fractured tensile bars. At all filler contents, the decrease in the composite's modulus at the glass transition temperature of PHEE is larger than can be accounted for if this material is simply dispersed in the matrix. When the starch granules are clustered, the decrease is also too large to be accounted for by only considering particle encapsulation. The effect of particle clustering must be included in order for the model to correctly describe the temperature dependence of the storage modulus.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Everyone is a crucial aid and an integral part in us being successful - by working with dedicated volunteers, foster homes, our local veterinarian, trainer, and other reputable rescues. We rescue dogs in need and provide them with loving care until we find them their well-matched forever homes.
We also provide, as best we can to those who we come into contact with, information on responsible pet ownership. This includes the importance of spay/neuter, good veterinary care, positive and proper behavior training and good nutrition.
We proudly specialize in the Cocker Spaniel Breed as there are very few reputable rescues specializing in them.
Both Co-Founders have had Cocker Spaniels for a majority of their life. A dream, for many years, was to have a Spaniel Rescue. She was blessed to be a part of the Rescue world where she learned a lot and is forever grateful. With the education and support of other Rescue's she decided to take the plunge and Found the Rescue. She did this with her Husband who shares her passion for the Cocker Spaniel Breed.
Our small group is made up of foster homes and volunteers, who really are the heart of the rescue. Currently we are small, but our hearts and beliefs are huge. We look forward to the journey ahead in becoming well established and reputable in the Rescue World. We have a long road ahead, but will always conduct with dignity, respect and honesty.
We are the ones that care for our dogs until forever homes can be found. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home unwanted dogs. To prevent overpopulation by spaying or neutering, to restore trust, love, confidence, and to find the best home for each dog in our care
We are solely a foster based rescue. This meaning that any dog in care with us is placed in a loving foster home, not in a kennel environment.
We have a Board Of Directors (BOD) who meets frequently to make decisions best for the Dogs and Rescue. They also conduct an Annual General Meeting in the month of July, where the year previous is reviewed in full and the year in advance is discussed. They are the ones who make the final decisions on adoptions.
Once your application is completed and received, we will check with your vet to make sure your current pets are up to date medically. We will call your pet references. We will make sure that your family is a match for the animal you are applying for by doing a home visit and meet and greet. After you have sent in your application, you will typically here back from us within a few hours.
Remember, we are all volunteers with jobs and families, we respectfully try to handle your application as quickly as possible, we know how excited you are, so are we to find a new home for one of our dogs, but, kids get sick, and jobs get busy, so please bare with us and give us 24 hours.
We are with you every step of the way and will always be here to help you train, integrate your new companion, etc even years after the adoption should you ever need us.
If any of our dogs ever needed to be returned we would always take them back without hesitation or judgment.
All the dogs in our care that are adopted out are current on their vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered or will be on a spay/neuter contract. Canadian Cocker Spaniel Rescue dogs are seen by our veterinarian when they come into and for any medical issues that come up while in our care. A full medical history will always be disclosed to the potential adopter.
An adoption fee of $400 is required for our dogs over 1 year of age, $300 for Seniors (age 7 and up) and $500 for puppies. This fee is considered non-refundable as it all goes back to helping the dogs in our care and future dogs as well. The fee is used to cover any costs incurred by the dog while they are with us and to help provide supplies for the rescue in order to help us bring in other dogs in need.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

A lot of baseball folks might not consider losing their No. 2 and No. 3 hitters a way to "jump start" a struggling team.
Yet that's exactly what Aeros manager Tim Bogar believes happened to the Aeros when they lost shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera and right fielder Brian Barton recently in a week's span.
Say what?
"This change is exactly what this team needs,'' Bogar said confidently. "We were kind of mumbling and bumbling along, just kind of getting through it. Then all of a sudden Cabrera leaves, a week later Barton leaves, and these guys still here are like 'Hey, what's going on? Maybe I have a chance to move. Maybe I could do some things and get out of here. Now I'm the guy, so I better put some numbers up.''
First baseman/designated hitter Jordan Brown has been putting up numbers all season long, entering Wednesday game batting a team-best .331 (second in the league) and leading the Eastern League in hits with 128. This, despite battling a nagging knee injury that will require off-season surgery.
Center fielder Trevor Crowe has begun to pull his weight, turning his dismal season around the last month to enter Wednesday batting a much more respectable .248.
Now it's time for veteran left fielder Ryan Goleski (.253) to do the same, as well as shortstop Brandon Pinckney (.220) - now that he has the advantage of playing every day with Cabrera gone.
"Right now we got what we got,'' Bogar said. "We'll figure it out. There's plenty of hitters on this team.''
The Aeros' pitching staff needs to share a portion of the burden during this final month as well, as the hitters have carried the team most of the season.
As decent as Wednesday's starter Chuck Lofgren has been at 10-6 with a 4.28 ERA, the left-hander has yet to live up to his pre-season "ace" billing. And as a three-year Double-A veteran, right-hander Jake Dittler needs to do better than the 4.37 ERA he's posted in 19 appearances.

IRVINE, Calif. --- UC Irvine outside hitter Larissa Nordyke (Honolulu, HI/Punahou HS) and Juliane Piggott (Newport Beach/UCLA) will participate in the largest-ever single tryout for the U.S. Women's National Team. The tryout, held by USA Volleyball, will take place at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., Feb. 19-21.
Hugh McCutcheon, the women's national team head coach, will lead the evaluation process. Anteater head coach Paula Weishoff will be a member of the tryout volunteer staff.
Nordyke and Piggott will be among 41 outside hitters vying for spots on the U.S. Women's Volleyball National Team program and the U.S. Women's Senior A2 teams. The tryout also includes 47 middle blockers, 41 liberos, 30 setters and 15 opposites, representing a total of 80 colleges.
Piggott, an AVCA All-American honorable mention, posted 353 kills for UCI and was 10th in the Big West with a 3.15 kill average. The first-team All-Big West selection had a team-high 13 solo blocks to go along with 39 block assists, finishing the season fourth in total blocks while adding 26 aces and 198 digs.
Nordyke recorded 128 kills to sit third on the team and averaged 1.45 per set. The junior also had 145 digs and 29 total blocks while firing seven service aces in 2009.
The U.S. Women's National Team program is open to athletes who have concluded their college eligibility and who wish to train full-time. The program could begin as early as February 2010 or when an athlete's scholastic or professional club season has concluded. Athletes who will have remaining college eligibility may still participate in the program beginning May 2010 or when their scholastic calendars conclude.
Athletes in college with collegiate eligibility remaining for the 2010 season and not selected to the USA Women's National Team may be invited to participate in the USA Senior A2 Team. This program is tentatively scheduled to take place in Phoenix from May 24 through June 2. A projected 24 athletes will be invited to participate in the program, which will include training and competition in the 2010 USA Adult Open Championships in the Open Division from May 29-June 1. USA Volleyball considers the event as the National Championship for the sport of volleyball in the United States.

Unfortunately, in cases like this the cops only hear the car driver's side of the story. Very difficult to prove guilt unless the driver is DUI. At least the driver stayed at the scene so the victim did not have to die alone in the street.

Its a sad situation, but I think the right outcome from what I have read

It's always a shame, and sad, when accidents like this happen.
Sometimes, it's not really anyone's fault, but something went wrong anyways.

Walking in front of moving vehicles has never been a good idea. I always try to avoid it.

If the driver is smart he doesn't say a word.. remaining silent is always better than trying to explain anything (innocent or guilty) to the police.

Gotta tell ya, even as an avid hunter and gun guy, that video is a bloody mess and hard to watch. So, the .45acp isn't the best for a meth'd up hog, got it. Of course, against Deer, here is what a cheap WWB hollow point did, interesting. I figure humans are about in the middle of deer and hogs.

I've taken deer with handguns but never the .45 ACP. I don't see why it wouldn't be a good choice for the whitetail deer around here. My brother-in-law has taken 4 deer and an auodad with a .45 ACP and reported good success when employing the cartridge.

No possible rapidity of fire can atone for habitual carelessness of aim with the first shot.
Theodore Roosevelt, The Wilderness Hunter, 1893
One thing many people don't realize is, wild animals, despite their size, are wild animals. They have the will to fight, much more than many humans. Dedicated humans can fight through just as many .45 rounds. Reasons you don't see it as much is because a human is usually smart enough to quit the attack and give up....
Not only do wild animals have a greater will to fight, I believe they are much more durable (physically), and less vulnerable to pain. A shot to the heart or lungs isn't going to instantly drop something, no matter what caliber. It will eventually stop them. The only guaranteed less than 1 second stop is CNS.
The video is rather disturbing. I hate seeing anything struggle for it's life. I don't know the story behind the video. Hunting with a measly .45 ACP is just stupid. Defending oneself with a .45 ACP is just fine. There is a difference. If I was in a field doing whatever it is I was doing and was approached by a bore, would I use my .45 to defend myself? Of course I would. The outcome maybe be the same as this video... but you're doing what you NEED to do to save yourself. If you go out with a .45 ACP with the sole purpose of hunting a bore, well, I just don't agree with that.
Now that I read in the video description that the bore was shot at 200 yards with a rifle, it just goes to show you what I meant about wild animals will to fight. Why didn't they just take a second shot with the rifle? I don't know. I'm not a hunter. I shot a squirrel once. I was at the range and they were running around on the dirt mound behind the targets. I actually felt bad.... even though I hate squirrels haha.
What really gets me about boar hunting is how little effect 'hydrostatic shock' has. When you watch it through gelatin, it looks devastating, but you cannot see any real effect of it when boar are hit. They run, immediately. If it's not a proper hit, that is.
RKM, I agree with your post 100%. I was fairly P.O when they showed the hog still flopping around. I'm an avid hunter and a video like that should not have been released for the public to see. Many hunter's wonder why there is a bunch anti- hunter's that would love to see an end to hunting. It's like what you said, we wasn't there and don't know the whole story. My brother and I bowhunt public land, atv's are not allowed unless you have a disability permit and then your only allowed on certain trailway's. We will walk up to 2 mile's one way to get away from everyone. There is big wild hog's and I carry a 1911 .45acp with hardcast bullet's incase one charge's us, it's not my first choice. I haven't figured out a good way yet to carry in my 7.5 inch Super Redhawk 44 mag as my CCW along with 40 pound's of gear.

What I don't understand is why there was no follow up shot with his rifle, The description says that he shot the boar with his "hp" rifle ( whatever that may be). A second round of 458 socom or 300WM would most likey have dropped the sucker.
This vid is a good argument for getting a semi auto for boar hunting, I think.
