Chuck Hagel Reaps His Rewardby Kyle Michaelis
One gets a sense that the one thing that could really make Hagel a player in 2008 is a total electoral catastrophe for the Republicans this November. If Bush, the war in Iraq, and the Republican Party's continuing string of ethical lapses leave Republicans in retreat, party leaders and GOP voters might suddenly like the idea of a man who's managed to separate himself from the incredibly unpopular current president while maintaining a voting record that is as partisan as they come.
In other words, Hagel might make for a fine "comfort food" candidate - different in tone, same in substance - around whom Republicans would rally in case of total and utter disaster.
With the Republican Party having now lost Congress and taken a beating in plenty of state houses as well - as President Bush's disapproval reaches record levels and the war in Iraq shows signs of becoming an even greater disaster - it would seem, by the above logic, that Hagel could stand poised to benefit. In fact, that possibility was put forward by columnist David Ignatius in Wednesday's Washington Post:
A month ago the idea that Sen. Chuck Hagel would make a serious run for the Republican presidential nomination would have been a non-starter. As an outspoken critic of President Bush on Iraq and other issues, Hagel's way was blocked. His best hope was nomination by a quixotic third party in an online convention.
It's a measure of the step change brought about by the Nov. 7 elections that Hagel is now seriously exploring a GOP presidential bid. The Republican blowout, he says, reflected a "breakdown of confidence and trust in governance" and opened the way for what he believes will be "the most wide-open presidential race since 1952." The Nebraska senator says he will make a formal decision in the next two months on whether to run.
What would make a Hagel candidacy interesting is that he can claim to have been right about Iraq and other key issues earlier than almost any national politician, Republican or Democratic. Though a Vietnam veteran and a hawk on many national security issues, he had prescient misgivings about the Iraq war -- and, more important, the political courage to express these doubts clearly, at a time when many politicians were running for cover....
[O]utspoken criticisms of Bush policies had put Hagel outside the respectable Republican perimeter -- until Election Day....
It strains credulity to imagine that a GOP controlled by Bush and Karl Rove could learn to love Hagel, but, as the Nebraskan says, this is a time of "transformational politics"....
Will the Bush administration's problems become so severe that Republicans would embrace a senator from the radical center? The very fact that Hagel is mulling a campaign reminds us that American politics turned a corner this month and that we are in new territory.
I understand a columnist's urge to sex-up his material but - wow - that right there is a whole lot of bullshit.
For starters, Ignatius turns a blind eye to the voting record that undermines Hagel's claims of prescience on Iraq. The man deserves credit for speaking out early and often with his concerns, but he has yet to challenge the Bush Administration or its strategy in Iraq with a single vote in the United States Senate. As I wrote this summer, addressing a similar oversight by Arianna Huffington, Hagel is conductor of the All Talk Express.
And, pardon me, but when the hell did Hagel become a member of "the radical center"? I have respect for the man in several regards, but he is not and has never been a centrist, let alone a radical one. He's a conservative Republican who showed little regard for anything but partisanship in Nebraska's 2006 Senate race. Just because Hagel is capable of an independent thought and will speak his mind when politically advantageous can't possibly justify Ignatius' exaggerated praise.
Then, there's this nonsense about Hagel's potential bid for President reflecting some huge change in American politics. This is insultingly idiotic because a)simply running for President doesn't say a damn thing about a candidate's actual appeal and b)Chuck Hagel's been thinking about this race for a long damn time. The country may have turned a corner in this year's elections, but the "new territory" Ignatius is writing from is La-La Land if he finds any deep meaning in talk of Hagel for President when, so far, talk is all there is.
Still, you have to give Hagel credit - he's been effective at winning attention from the national media even if that hasn't yet translated into grassroots support (not even in Nebraska, where only 37% of voters think Hagel would be a good president). From cover stories in New York Times Magazine last February to a headline-making column calling for withdrawal from Iraq in Sunday's Washington Post, some high-powered players clearly think Hagel belongs on the national stage. He's been given a chance. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, he's able to do with it.

Who's the Cup winner?3:18
Writer Matt Stewart and leading jockey Michelle Payne pick the horses with the best chance to win the Melbourne Cup
LUCA Cumani's frustrating wait is over and the trainer is about to take the Melbourne Cup trophy to England for the first time.
After six years of fruitless, sometimes heart-breaking endeavour, Cumani's perseverance will pay off when he saddles up talented stayer Mount Athos for the $6 million race at Flemington today.
Form guru Gary Crispe believes Mount Athos "fits the profile'' of a Melbourne Cup winner as he excels in stamina tests, has a good turn of foot and the ability to handle a firm track.
Perhaps it is galling to many Australian sports fans that England's cricket team currently holds the Ashes and now one of their horses is about to win the nation's most famous race. But Cumani has always accepted his Melbourne Cup disappointments with good grace and no one would begrudge him if that elusive Cup triumph finally came his way.
"Luca Cumani started his quest to win the Cup back in 2006 with Glistening who ran 10th behind Delta Blues,'' Crispe said. "He then trained two close seconds with Purple Moon in 2007 and Bauer in 2008 and more recently Manighar has run seventh in 2010 and fifth last year.
"But this year Cumani has bought a higher-rated horse than all those in Mount Athos who boasts a Timeform rating of 123.
"Mount Athos only joined Cumani's yard at the start of this year and remains undefeated in three starts taking his Timeform rating from 112 to 123+ with authoritative performances.''
The form stayer of the English summer, Mount Athos made his debut for Cumani at Newmarket over 2816m and won easily. He then took on a strong line up in the prestigious Listed John Smith's Silver Cup over 2816m at York which he won brilliantly by four lengths from High Jinx despite carrying 63.5kg.
High Jinx has franked that form since with Group 1 and 2 placings, increasing his Timeform rating by eight pounds since that meeting.
Mount Athos then faced a tougher test last start in the Group 3 Geoffrey Freer Stakes (2670m) at Newbury. With Melbourne Cup jockey Ryan Moore in the saddle, and carrying 59kg, Mount Athos settled midfield but slowly worked into the race, taking over 400m from home and staying on strongly to beat Brown Panther by over three lengths.
"The Brown Panther form line is worthy of mention,'' Crispe said. "At his start prior he was close up to Dunaden in the G1 King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot behind Arc winner Danedream. The significance of that is, at level weights there was nothing between Dunaden and Brown Panther, yet Mount Athos had over three lengths to spare over Brown Panther at Newbury.
"In the Melbourne Cup, Dunaden also has to concede 5kg to Mount Athos so that indirect form line analysis also confirms the weight adjusted Timeform ratings which show a weight advantage to the Cumani-trained stayer.''
Mount Athos has not raced since mid-August but that should not be an issue as he won the Silver Cup off a 56-day break, Crispe added.
Crispe said Mount Athos will need to produce a career-best run as today's Melbourne Cup field contains 13 runners rated Timeform 120 and above, the second strongest since 2000 behind Americain's 2010 renewal when 14 runners had 120-plus Timeform ratings.
For the first time since 1995, when third placegetter Vintage Crop (1993) and 15th-placed Jeune (1994) contested, the race has the two previous race winners lined up in the field.
"It is probably the first time ever that the last two Cup quinella pairs (Dunaden/Red Cadeaux 2011) and (Americain/Maluckyday 2010) have ever contested the race,'' Crispe added.
The best chance of a "local'' success rests with the Team Williams stayer Green Moon, albeit a former Euopean galloper.
Under an injury cloud last week after his unplaced run in the Cox Plate, Green Moon has been passed fit to run and does bring some excellent form and ratings to the race. "Green Moon's Cox Plate effort is best overlooked as he had little luck and was not well suited under the weight for age conditions,'' Crispe said.
"If he has fully recovered then he is much better placed under the handicap conditions.
"At his previous start he won the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes over 2000m at Flemington from stablemate Seville.
"While the Cox Plate did not go to plan, this could be a different story. It will be his fifth run back from a spell, significant because he ran second in the Caulfield Cup last year in that state.''
Crispe believes the overseas raiders will dominate today's Melbourne Cup with the first eight over the line being northern hemisphere-bred and the only Australian-trained galloper to figure in the finish will be Gai Waterhouse's Fiorente, the former English stayer having his first run in this country.

Luke Lambert put Newman in position to 'guard off wolves' for Phoenix win
On a blistering hot day in the Arizona desert, it was a full team effort for Ryan Newman to grab the victory in the Camping World 500 at Phoenix Raceway.
Newman had one of the fastest cars on track during the long runs but gave up too much on new tires.
That data led to a strategy call at the race's final caution where Luke Lambert, crew chief of the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevy, decided to keep his driver on track for an overtime shootout for the win.
Lambert made the call to stay on track while his driver was hoping to get two tires.
"There was no convincing. I think me and Ryan have a really good relationship," Lambert said of the conversation with his driver under caution. "I felt in my gut it was the right decision. We have a lot of people working during the race at our company that provide a lot of really good, valuable information for me to see real‑time. I had a lot of good information in front of me that I was able to draw to right quick, make a snap decision.
"I ultimately knew our car wasn't very good on cold tires. We struggled every single restart. We were the best car after 25 laps of a run. Unfortunately, cars kept blowing tires 35 to 40 laps of a run, so we never really got to see the fruits of our race car. We'd lose two spots on a racecar, then gain four to five back as the run went on. Ultimately that two steps forward, one step back, kept slowing our progression to the front."
In a way, the two steps forward, one step back has been a microcosm of Newman and Lambert's time together at Richard Childress Racing.
After spending two seasons as Jeff Burton's crew chief, Lambert teamed up with Newman when he moved from Stewart-Haas Racing to RCR in 2014.
While they didn't find Victory Lane in their first season together, Newman navigated through the new elimination Chase format and finished second in the points standings.
Then came the steps back.
Newman made the playoffs again in 2015 and finished 11th in the points, but the season had its fair share of controversy.
Lambert was suspended for six races in the middle of the season for making illegal modifications to tires in the Auto Club 400.
In 2016, Lambert and Newman had their worst year together, finishing 18th in the points standings and missing the playoffs.
It was definitely a surprise when Newman crossed the finish line in first on Sunday, but it was also a huge sigh of relief for a driver, team, and crew chief that had gone years without visiting Victory Lane.
"I certainly had hoped that we would be to Victory Lane before now," Lambert said. "I feel like our race team has surpassed a lot of expectations, but we have also not delivered as rapidly as far as getting to the winner's circle as I would like for us to. I can't say enough about Richard (Childress) and his confidence, his drive."
Everyone played their part to get Richard Childress Racing back to Victory Lane for the first time in 112 races, Newman for the first time in 127, and Lambert for the first time in 157 races as a crew chief.
"I can't say enough about what it means," Lambert said. "I couldn't be prouder of everybody within the company, everybody on my race team. I said earlier, I think Ryan really left it all on the race track today. He was exhausted.
"I think you can see how wrung out he is right now. It's just a sign of him giving his all. Ultimately, we put him in a position to guard off a bunch of wolves with fresh tires behind him. He rose to the occasion, made it happen."

text: 909 FXUS64 KOUN 200853 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 253 AM CST Mon Nov 20 2017 .DISCUSSION... Thin high clouds over Oklahoma and north Texas will gradually move east through the morning. With abundant sunshine and a gusty southerly wind, fire weather will be a concern by this afternoon. Wind gusts above 30 mph will be common during the early afternoon, especially across central and north central Oklahoma. With afternoon humidity rather low (25-30 percent), fire weather conditions will certainly be elevated. High clouds will return by tonight through Tuesday, as a system over the Pacific Northwest approaches within northwest flow aloft. A cold front will also move across the area on Tuesday, with breezy northerly winds developing behind the front. Most of the cooler/colder air with the front will not move into the area until late Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, another day of elevated fire weather conditions are expected Tuesday afternoon. Cold/cool surface high pressure will build over Oklahoma and north Texas late Tuesday and early Wednesday. As high pressure builds east during the day Wednesday, a southerly wind will return, especially across western Oklahoma. A surface trough will shift east across the southern Plains on Thursday bringing a weak wind shift. However, rather mild temperatures can be expected. The wind will increase on Friday with well above average temperatures. Afternoon humidity will be rather low across western Oklahoma where temperatures will be warmer. This will result in elevated fire weather conditions. Another front will move across the area early Saturday. This will bring temperatures closer to average for the weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

I'm a little skeptical about online education. About 2/3 skeptical.
Most of the (traditional) teaching I received was squarely based on what I call the Dentist Model of Education: a [student|patient] goes into the [classroom|dentist's office] and the [instructor|dentist] does something technical to the [student|patient]. Once the professional is done, the [student|patient] goes away and [forgets the lecture|never flosses].
I learned almost nothing from that teaching. Like every other person in a technical field, I learned from studying and solving practice problems. (Rule of thumb: learning is 1% lecture, 9% study, 90% practice problems.)
A better education model, the Personal Trainer Model of Education asserts that, like in fitness training, results come from the [trainee|student] practicing the [movements|materials] himself/herself. The job of the [personal trainer|instructor] is to guide that practice and select [exercises|materials] that are appropriate to the [training|instruction] objectives.
Which is why I'm two-thirds skeptical of the goodness of online education.
Obviously there are advantages to online materials: there's low distribution cost, which allows many people to access high quality materials; there's a culture of sharing educational materials, spearheaded by some of the world's premier education institutions; there are many forums, question and answer sites and – for those willing to pay a small fee – actual online courses with instructors and tests.
Leaving aside the broad accessibility of materials, there's no getting around the 1-9-90 rule for learning. Watching Walter Lewin teaching physics may be entertaining, but without practicing, by solving problem sets, no one watching will become a physicist.
Consider the plethora of online personal training advice and assume that the aspiring trainee manages to find a trainer who knows what he/she is doing. Would this aspiring trainee get better at her fitness exercises by reading a web site and watching videos of the personal trainer exercising? And yet some people believe that they can learn computer programming by watching online lectures. (Or offline lectures, for that matter.*)
If practice is the key to success, why do so many people recognize the absurdity of the video-watching, gym-avoiding fitness trainee while at the same time assume that online lectures are the solution to technical education woes?
(Well-designed online instruction programs are much more than lectures, of course; but what most people mean by online education is not what I consider well-designed and typically is an implementation of the dentist model of education.)
The second reason why I'm skeptic (hence the two-thirds share of skepticism) is that the education system has a second component, beyond instruction: it certifies skills and knowledge. (We could debate how well it does this, but certification is one of the main functions of education institutions.)
Certification of a specific skill can be done piecemeal but complex technical fields depend on more than a student knowing the individual skills of the field; they require the ability to integrate across different sub-disciplines, to think like a member of the profession, to actually do things. That's why engineering students have engineering projects, medical students actually treat patients, etc. These are part of the certification process, which is very hard to do online or with short in-campus events, even if we remove questions of cheating from the mix.
There's enormous potential in online education, but it can only be realized by accepting that education is not like a visit to the dentist but rather like a training session at the gym. And that real, certified learning requires a lot of interaction between the education provider and the student: not something like the one-way lectures one finds online.
(This is not to say that there aren't some good online education programs, but they tend to be uncommon.)
Just like the best-equipped gym in the world will do nothing for a lazy trainee, the best online education platform in the world will do nothing for an unmotivated student. But a motivated kid with nothing but a barbell & plates can become a competitive powerlifter and a motivated kid a with a textbook will learn more than the hordes who watch online lectures while tweeting and facebooking.
The key success factor is not technology; it's the student. It always is.
ADDENDUM (Nov 27, 2011): I've received some comments to the effect that I'm just defending universities from the disruptive innovation of entrants. Perhaps, but:
Universities have several advantages over new institutions, especially when so many of these new institutions have no understanding of what technical education requires. If there was a new online way to sell hamburgers would it surprise anyone that McDs and BK were better at doing it than people who are great at online selling engineering but who never made an hamburger in their lives?
This is not to say that there isn't [vast] room to improve in both the online and offline offerings of universities. But it takes a massive dose of arrogance to assume that everything that went before (in regards to education) can be ignored because of a low cost of content distribution.
* For those who never learned computer programming: you learn by writing programs and testing them. Many many many programs and many many many tests. A quick study of the basics of the language in question is necessary, but better done individually than in a lecture room. Sometimes the learning process can be jump-started by adapting other people's programs. A surefire way to not learn how to program is to listen to someone else talk about programming.

The two-room apartment 'Romantic' is romance in its purest form. Let yourself be lulled by the size muffled by the warm light and relaxing views. For unforgettable winter holidays or weekends is a 10 minute walk from the ski slopes of the world (any bus stop in the house). It 'an apartment versatile practical for groups of friends and families ... for all romantic couples! Ideal for skiers and cyclists! . Strategic position: it is 100 meters from the center of Bormio and in front of the Baths of Bormio (the last picture is related to the thermal baths of Bormio!) Bus stop under the house. Offers a fabulous terrace for outdoor dining.
Peculiar features: skiing, biking & pet friendly!
If you like being pampered on holiday ...
Last 6 photos.
The apartments are located in the beautiful Chalet Bormio with a warm cover hardwood and gracious mountain style balconies. E 'located 2 steps from the center, from the ski slopes and 50 meters from the spa of Bormio. Dreaming of a vacation without having to use the car? Let her rest in our parking lot. A grocery store and a restaurant-pizzeria are near. In winter, the ski areas are within walking distance or quickly by Ski Bus, with a stop 20 meters. If you want to spend unique moments and feel at home we recommend the apartment "Sports" ... otherwise if you want to be pampered, we recommend the apartment "Romantic". Very good holiday!
Lucio & Lella
ps. For friends skiers: from balconies and windows you can see the legendary track of the ski world in 1985 and 2005, where every year there is the descent of the World Cup!
For cycling friends: the part above the Chalet "Re Stelvio" (amateur bicycle race) and then the famous Stelvio Pass - Cima Coppi of many laps of Italy. Also from Bormio you can "climb" the mountain passes as famous!
Baths of Bormio are fed by a thousand and one liter per minute gushing from the rock of the source Cinglaccia which is on the left of the bed of the Adda river whose source is nearby. The warm waters captured at the source, and channeled into pipes up to the spa, flow at a temperature of 39.5 °.
New bathrooms Bormio: immersed in his Monumental Park, just a 5-minute drive from the center of Bormio, is the spa complex of Bagni Nuovi.
Opened in 1836 were the subject of an extensive renovation in 2004 that returned to its former glory the adjacent Grand Hotel.
Bagni Vecchi in Bormio: Reit perched on the mountain, at the mouth of the valley of Braulio, the Old Baths are located about 3 km from Bormio on the road leading to Passo Stelvio.
It is the oldest spa complex: were already well known in the Middle Ages as the "Hospitium Balneorum" and very close to the testimony of ancient origins is the church of San Martino, also dating at the time.
Very nice cozy apartment. Has everything you need on holidays. Owners are kind. Bormio is great for cycling and hiking holidays.
My husband and I stayed here for 6 days on a bicycling vacation in northern Italy.
The apartment is well stocked, it has a very efficient front loading washing machine and spacious bedroom with an additional single bed and plenty of closet space. The owner Lucio and his wife were very accommodating brought us some homemade plum jam. There is ample parking in September but would not be sure it is in winter if there is a lot of snow on the ground. This is a great location to do the Stelvio,Gavia, Mortirolo and Lago de Cancano. The area has geothermal baths, hiking and mountainbiking within minutes of the town of Bormio. There is a locked garage below the apartment building with a bike rack for bikes and skis. Weather was a little cool at the end of September for descending so take extra layers to put on after the climb. Recommend the Stelvio Experience at the Hotel Funivia for group riding in the area, great group of people!
Definitely recommend this apartment and area. It is on the top floor so be aware there are 4 flights of stairs.
This is a wonderful apartment, right in the heart of Bormio. Literally 5 mins from the town centre and 10 to the main supermarket. Access to the ski terminal was very straightforward using the free shuttle bus, which literally stopped at the end of the road and took 10 mins.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with a good sized living/ kitchen area, big balcony and bathroom and a huge bedroom. Don't be fooled by the "romantic" tag line. This apartment comfortably slept three of us and could easy have accommodated more. Compared to other ski accommodation we have rented for 4 people it was palatial.
However the thing that made this rental so enjoyable was the owner Lucio and his family. They live below the apartment and were truly the most hospitable and kind hosts I have ever encountered.
I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough.
Stuart Ritchie
What a wonderful chalet! The family which lets the chalet went out of their way to make sure our stay in Bormio exceeded all expectations. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and conveniently located to the thermal bathes as well as the city center. Located on a quite street, with beautiful views, the chalet offered an excellent base camp to all the wonders the region has to offer. We can't wait to return for more cycling and hiking.
The Giro was the reason for us going to Bormio, but we was pleasantly surprised by Bormio and our stay at Skianta appartment. Next time the Giro will not have to be the excuse to go - and we will return with our bikes to take on the Stelvio, Mortirollo and so on. Bormio is a great base for cycling in the summer, and the city has much to offer in the summer time as well.
The Skianta is a nice cozy appartment close to the thermal bath the city center and Stelvio. A great little appartment with everything you need to enjoy your visit in Bormio.
Abbiamo passato una splendida settimana, ma un grazie speciale va alla famiglia schiantarelli il trattamento ricevuto all'arrivo e per tutto il soggiorno. Da non tralasciare l'accogliente appartamento in ordine, pulito e dotato di ogni necessità.
Un saluto da Stefano, Simone, Edoardo e Mery.
Placed at an altitude of 1225 meters above sea level lies Bormio in Lombardy, in the heart of the Alta Valtellina at the foot of the Stelvio Pass. Already known in antiquity as the magnificent land for its natural riches now as then is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the whole Alpine.
From place to spend your winter holidays on the slopes who twice have been the theater of World Ski Championships in Bormio becomes summer resort ideal for diving in the pristine nature of the Stelvio National Park.
Other Activities: sled dog - cross country skiing
Golf: Immediately upon entering the town, at La Fornace, is the Golf Club Bormio.
The field, nine-hole runs along 4236 meters and is well embedded in the surroundings: along the way, totally immersed in nature, you may in fact admire the peaks that frame the valley.
The ski area of Bormio has two sides: that of Vallecetta and that of St. Columba, offering trails suitable for all levels for a total of over 80 km served by 24 lifts and a snow park.

Census for Jacob Lockman 1910 or later for fam. members
janis dunn 12/26/11
The Idaho Free Press dated 7/15/1965 has a long story about Mrs. Jacob Lockman turning 90 and having a birthday celebration. It includes biographical info.
Her father was John Graf and immigrated first. The family had moved from Mecklenburg to Hamburg before leaving. The mother and children came in 1883, Frieda being the oldest of six children.
According to the story, Paul Lockman died in WWI, Jacob died in 1948, and Tilden died in 1960.
There was another story in the 2/28/1967 edition, it said that Frieda died "last August at the age of 91"

Nampa Soldier is Missing
Paul Lockman Reported Missing In France Since Sept. 29
NAMPA- Paul Lockman, a prominent young man of Nampa, is reported missing from his company in France, according to word received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Lockman, Thursday morning. The report states that he has been missing since September 29th.
Paul Lockman was a private in company L, 112th Infantry, and sailed for France August 10th. He is 23 years old, and was superintendant of the Overland Brewery Co. before leaving to join the colors.
Paul Lockman Killed In Action
Small story reported that the parents received word from the War Department that he was killed.
Paul's body arrived in Hoboken, NJ to be transported back to Nampa. He was killed in the Meuse-Argonne sector.
Other stories reported that he was killed in action September 26, 1918. On October 21 it was reported that he was to be buried on Sunday. (10/23). It was believed that he was killed by a high-explosive shell.
Idaho Statesman 1/30/1906
After sinking a test well, which produced a large amount of soft water, Jacob Lockman, owner of the Sunset Brewing Co at Wallace, decided to locate a brewery in Nampa. There were other capitalists from Spokane and Seattle that invested in it.
5 residents of Shoshone County, including Jacob Lockman, incorporated to start a telephone service in Couer d'Alene.
The Champion Mining Company incorporated to develop claims at Horseshoe Bend in Nampa. Jacob Lockman is one of the directors.
Comet Mining Company incorporated, Jacob Lockman is one of the directors.
I see a story dated 1898 that refers to Jacob Lockman as being an ex-mayor in Shoshone County.
JACOB LOCKMAN stands at the head of one of
the larges establishments in Wallace, being manager
of the Sunset Brewing Company and part owner. He
is a keen business man and has manifested his ability
in the affairs of the company and in bringing to the
front the products of the brewery in a most successful
and popular manner.
Jacob Lockman was born in Germany on January
l 1857' being the son of Jacob and Rebecca (Pain)
Lockman, natives also of the fatherland. They came
to the United States in 1871, and the father died in
1894 in Benton county, Iowa, having been a farmer.
The mother died in Germany in 1902. Our subject
was reared and educated in Iowa, after coming to this
country, until 1876, when he went to the Black Hills
where he did butchering and mining. In 1880 he went
td southern Idaho, and in 1886 he came west to Butte,
Montana. He was engaged in various employments
for two years and then came to north Idaho, landing
in Wallace in 1889. He was engaged in the saloon
business with Thomas Mitchell until 1892 when he sold
that business and went into the bottling business and
handled ice. In 1897 he bought out his partner and
on January 1, 1901, he organized the Sunset Brewing
Company, of which David Holzman is president and
our subject is secretary, treasurer and manager. They
have the finest and largest brewery in the northern part
of the state, and it is equipped with the best and latest'
appliances for the manufacture of beer. They have an
excellent large ice plant and do a good business in
that line, as also they do in wholesaling liquors and
bar supplies. The beer made here is justly famous for
it is of the best to be found and rivals any made in the
United States. The plant is of ten thousand barrels
capacity per year. Mr. Lockman is the moving spirit
and really the head of this establishment, and it is due
to his wise skill and energy that such fine success has
crowned their efforts.
In 1893 Mr. Lockman married Miss Frieda, daugh-
ter of John Graf, a prominent farmer in Kootenai
county. Two children have been born to this union, —
Paul, aged nine, and Tilden, aged seven. Mr. Lock-
man is a member of the B. P. O. E., Coeur d'Alene
Lodge, No. 331, being one of the organizers of the
order in Wallace. He is allied with the Democratic
party and is active in all campaigns. Mr. Lockman
has two brothers. — John and Henry, living in the east.

Arizona, (PressExposure) April 07, 2009 -- Athena Security delivers another powerful software solution with Athena FirePAC. Any network engineer knows just how difficult it can be to properly configure and manage a network firewall: complex rule sets, conflicting security policies, and unintended security holes can all add up to serious risk to your network and business. But with Athenaâs FirePAC software, you can actually make firewall configuration and management simple. As explained at http://www.athenasecurity.net/athenafirepac.html, Athena FirePAC provides a comprehensive analysis of firewall configurations, to make many formerly difficult firewall management tasks a lot easier.
Athena FirePac runs extensive checks to enable implementation of the proper firewall configurationâone that allows only the minimum necessary services and traffic to pass through. FirePAC checks for security risks in the firewall policies, identifies any problematic rules in the firewall configuration, and pinpoints conflicting or overlapping rules so that the network engineer can address them with confidence. It uses policy analysis and comparison along with anomaly detection to provide a clear, yet comprehensive overview of your firewall configuration. The tool is also useful for auditing and compliance purposes.
What used to be a complicated and time consuming task of painstaking rules configuration and troubleshooting can now be completed within minutes. âWithout a tool such as this all aspects of firewall life cycle management would be much more difficult, time consuming and prone to error,â says a Security Consultant on the companyâs website. FirePAC can help lower network management expenses by allowing network engineers to spend time focusing on more important work.
Athena Security is recognized as a pioneer of network software technology. In addition to FirePAC, they offer Athena Verify, a comprehensive tool that maps the relationships between firewall configurations, critical assets, and the network infrastructure. Athena Verify goes beyond the mere firewall: it shows services and paths across the entire network.
For advanced network reporting, Athena offers ReportZone. ReportZone provides a wide range of reports including firewall assessment, audit, and network segmentation reports. These reports are useful if you need to ensure that your firewalls are in compliance with overall network design goals, policies, and best practices.
Combined with FirePAC, Athena Verify and ReportZone are powerful tools for network engineers. Athena FirePAC is a desktop software product. Licensing costs are based on the number of firewalls to analyze. A free 30-day trial evaluation copy may be downloaded from their website. More information on Athena FirePAC can be obtained at http://www.athenasecurity.net/athenafirepac.html.
About Athena Security Athena Security is a pioneer of advanced software technology including Athena Verify for network analysis, Athena FirePAC for firewall analysis, and ReportZone for advanced network reporting.

A federal magistrate Friday criticized drug agents for their insensitivity in naming an undercover investigation of an Indian-born physician "Operation Slumdog Billionaire."
But in his written findings, U.S. Magistrate Judge George Foley Jr. also said race did not play a role in the decision to target the physician, Vinay Bararia.
Foley refused to give Bararia's defense lawyers a hearing to pursue the racial claims further in a bid to suppress wiretaps as evidence against Bararia in the case.
The attorneys claimed agents withheld the derogatory code-name of the investigation from the judges who approved the wiretaps and provided the judges with other misleading information.
Bararia, who is facing felony charges of unlawfully distributing painkillers, is to stand trial on Oct. 8.
The investigation's name was a takeoff of the 2009 Oscar-winning movie, "Slumdog Millionaire," which portrays a young man living in a Mumbai slum trying to win a game show.
"The DEA's choice of "Slumdog Billionaire" as the name for its criminal investigation of defendant Bararia can reasonably be viewed as offensive to persons of Indian or Hindu origin," Foley wrote. "The agents who selected or approved the use of this name for the investigation should therefore be condemned for their poor judgment."

How is the Experiment Going?
When we set this scheme up we called it an "experiment". Is it possible to write and submit a new story each week as Bradbury did? And if it is, is doing so a good idea? Is it helpful to the writing process or just a burden?
I guess we'll all have our own views, but my honest answers after 3 months are that it is possible and that it's both a help and a burden, actually. But mostly a help.
On the plus side, the incentive of "having" to write a story each week works for me. Obviously if I failed one week, nothing bad would happen, apart from my fellow Write1Sub1ers laughing and calling me names. But wanting to keep up is a great incentive. It puts me in the mindset of thinking, "Right, what's this week's story going to be?" Having to write something no matter how good or bad is a great spur. I know I've written a bunch of stuff, some of it already published, that I wouldn't have otherwise. I've also written stories that have been bouncing around in my head for a long time which I just wasn't getting round to. So, yay for Write1Sub1.
On the negative side, concentrating more on shorter fiction has probably meant I've spent less time on the longer stuff. I'm editing a novel at the moment, and that's coming on nicely. But the novel I'd hoped to start this year : haven't touched it. Equally, I've tended to focus on shorter short fiction, if that makes sense. A 10,000 word novella doesn't fit very well into a week's writing in my universe. If I was doing the monthly scheme, that would work better. So I've tended to write short short stories, flash stories and microstories for Twitter etc. Again, this has worked well for me and I've produced some stuff I'm proud of. But a small part of me does worry that it's cheating, I'll admit. One Twitter fiction story a week is pretty easy to do, let's be honest. I find myself writing and submitting four or five Twitter stories and maybe a flash story too in a week to feel like I've done the scheme justice. Does anyone else feel like that?
I think there's also a danger of rushing things. I've fallen into the pattern of drafting out a story one week and editing/polishing/submitting the next. That works pretty well but it's still a tight timescale. It leaves little room for beta readers to get involved, for example. We were very clear up front that it doesn't have to be the same story you write and submit each week/month and I think that's important. You need time to set things aside and come back to them. Actually I think it might be a good idea to submit things written several weeks or even months ago - but obviously that makes it hard to be submitting early on in the year.
Overall, I'm thrilled I got involved in Write1Sub1 and will most definitely keep it up for the year. Next year I may seek a different balance though. We shall see. What do you think? How's it been for you so far?
9 comments:
I'm finding W1S1 keeps me focused. Knowing I "need" to do a story a month (at least!) makes me WANT to write that story more. Does that make sense?ReplyDelete
I think it's also about community, like with NaNo - knowing others are with you, supporting you, encouraging you is a huge help when those rejections come in.
And I don't think it matters how long the stories are - some stories just don't need as many words to be told. (Of course, I might be biased since I'm in the Hint Fiction antho, so take that for what it's worth.) :)
I can honestly say that prior to W1S1, I've never experienced this much eustress and distress with regard to my writing. But I'm so glad we started this experiment, and I know I'm better for it.ReplyDelete
I have 14 new short stories submitted that probably wouldn't have been written yet, if not for W1S1.
I have 27 published pieces of microfiction and haiku that probrably wouldn't exist, if not for W1S1.
And I have a giant ulcer that is enlarging daily--
Just kidding.
For me, W1S1 has been about pushing my writing to the limit; so I've committed to write and submit a new short story every week, just like Mr. Bradbury did so long ago. Nothing accepted yet, but I'm pleased with my work and consider it some of my best stuff.
Now if only the editors would agree...
Before this experiment, I wasn't into writing short stories. I was into novels all the way, and my writing was sporadic at best.ReplyDelete
Now not only am I writing nearly every day, but I can call myself a published author. I have three stories appearing in anthologies that never would have happened if I hadn't started this. And I've discovered I love the whole process: writing, polishing, submitting, rejections and acceptances, resubmitting. I love all of it.
I do miss working on my novels. This weekly pace of writing and submitting means I have no time left to spend on the several novels I have written over the years.
It's been a struggle. Some weeks I cheat: I don't write or submit, but then I make up for it the next week. Or the week after.
But I have already achieved my goal: to write more and to get my work out there. And I am continuously amazed with how much I am enjoying this journey.
Three hugely encouraging and inspiring responses there. It really is a privelege to be involved and to know others are going through the same thing.
My expectations were a little too high, honestly. I signed up for the monthly (x2) without anticipating have as rough a Feb/March with the family as I did. Despite that, I am 4 and 4 as of today. I'm sure I could have squeezed a few more flash pieces in there, but it would have been a fight. I get the character and the situation first, and the complexity of the conflict is what determines the format for the story.ReplyDelete
So what did I learn so far? I can't control my committments, nor my muse. I CAN keep my fingers on the keyboard and aim in a particular direction. I've learned I really have to choose what I want to work on. The carefree hopping from one project to the next has decreased in an honest effort to get the closest-to-ready story in tip top shape.
I imagine this is closer to experiencing a full time writer's schedule than what I'd previously envisioned.
Since I don't work, finding writing time has not been a problem, even if the ideas have been sluggish at times, BUT I am appalling at selling myself, at putting stuff anywhere but in a folder, so for me W1S1 has been brilliant in terms of making me put something out each week.ReplyDelete
One one level it still feels inadequate, and will continue to do so until I actually get paid for anything ... maybe in the second half od the year. But, yes W1S1 is working for me.
You hit on a lot of great points. This has been a largely positive experience for me. I've discovered twitter fiction, which has been incredibly fun. On the other hand, more of my subs have been twitter fiction than I'd anticipated, and yes, it does feel a bit like cheating, since I had anticipated writing longer stories.ReplyDelete
The weekly time frame is tight. I do feel there's a danger of rushing revisions, and I don't want to sub stories I know aren't as polished as they can be.
What's interesting is the writing part is easy. It's the revising and subbing that's harder to pull off week after week, especially since I like to let stories sit a day or so between revisions, and I do a lot of revising! I'm building a backlog of stories to revise (mostly all of the longer ones), while I'd hoped W1S1 would get me revising stories from last year! Now, to figure out how to do that, keep up here, and keep moving on the novel I'm working on!
I'm not participating in w1s1 (as I've just today found out about you); however, I have committed to producing one flash fiction piece daily for the next year. So far, so good but with these observations:ReplyDelete
- I love having to produce daily completed stories
- I'm hoping my quality doesn't fall off trying to keep up this pace
- It does tend to push other, longer projects off the calendar
- I'm using all my first pub rights by posting these all on my blog but I'm trying to build a readership
Just some random thoughts that I thought might apply to w1s1 also.
I'm going to think about joining by just expanding and submitting on flash piece per month...
Good luck everyone!

MLB News: Spring Training Baseball News and Notes: 3/17/14
Jason's Fantasy Baseball Analysis: Spring Training News and Notes
March 17, 2014
See the Latest Odds
MLB News: Spring Training News and Notes:
March 17, 2014
Billy Hamilton is quietly having a great spring as his OBP now stands at .410 and he is also batting .303 in his 33 spring at bats. Hamilton put his skills on display Sunday night as the Reds beat the A's because of his speed. Hamilton was able to get on base with a bunt in the 7th inning and he then stole 2nd and 3rd base. He scored on a Brandon Phillips home run, which eventually led to the game winning run. Hamilton has been impressing his coaches and teammates, but he is not getting too much fantasy attention so far this spring. With the start of the season just around and Hamilton having a very impressive spring, fantasy owners should expect Hamilton to be taken early in drafts then his spring average draft positions would suggest.
James Shields has been one of the top performers this spring and he looks poised to have a big year. In 14.2 innings Shields has struck out 18 batters and only given up one earned run. Shields will be very motivated this season since he is in a contract year, and he could have a monster season if the Royals offense finally puts it all together.
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports
Justin Masterson is another pitcher that is having a fantastic spring training. Masterson has not allowed a run in 13 innings and he has struck out 14 batters as well. Masterson had a career season last year as the ace of a playoff team, and now he is looking to improve this year. Masterson is right in the middle of his prime and that means it is very reasonable to expect another solid season from Masterson in 2014.
Archie Bradley, the Diamondbacks hyped pitching prospect, may be able to earn a spot in the rotation due to an injury to Patrick Corbin. Bradley has not been very strong this spring as he has walked six batters in only 8.1 innings, but he has struck out 10 batters. Bradley is a player fantasy owners should monitor the rest of the way, because he definitely has deep sleeper potential if he is able to earn a spot in Arizona's starting rotation.
It appears the Cardinals prospect, Oscar Taveras, is not going to make the Cardinals this spring. Taveras has not been able to play this spring due to injuries and now the Cardinals are ready to start the season without him. He is a player that should stay on the fantasy radar over the course of the season, but he should not be drafted in leagues this spring.
Grady Sizemore continues to impress his coaches and teammates, but he is not a lock to earn every day at bats. Sizemore is becoming a very intriguing draft day sleeper because of the positive news coming out of the Boston camp, but the reports are also suggesting that Jackie Bradley will be the starting center fielder and not Sizemore. It is possible Sizemore could earn his way into the starting lineup, but at this stage, it is better to leave Sizemore on the waiver wire.
The Rangers closer battle is in full swing as Neftali Feliz tries to get back his old form. Ron Washington has stated that he prefers a set closer over a closer by committee approach, and that is good news for fantasy owners. This is a situation that will produce a great draft day bargain since the Rangers closers are being drafted in the very late rounds. Fantasy owners need to keep a close eye on this situation and they should feel confident in drafting whoever wins the closers job.
The biggest news so far this spring has to be the injuries to Braves the pitching staff and their signing of Ervin Santana. Now that Santana has a home in the National League, he makes for interesting fantasy option. Santana has been able to pitch well in the American league and now he will get the chance to improve his free agent stock in the National League. Santana only signed a one year deal, so he should be motivated to have a big season and lead the Braves to the playoffs.

I downloaded Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio by Dr. Jack Purdum, W8TEE, and Dennis Kidder, W6DQ a few months ago. It's a really good book with some actually useful projects in it. If you're new to Arduino, I might suggest starting with Simon Monk's Programming Arduino: Getting Started with Sketches, but if you've got the basics down, the Purdum and Kidder book is great. One of the projects detailed in the book is a direct digital synthesizer VFO controlled by an Arduino and tuned with a rotary encoder. I thought this was an interesting project, but was unsure how to actually use it.
Imagine my delight when the March issue of QST came out and featured an article on building a complete QRP CW radio by Purdum, Kidder, and Farrukh Zia, K2ZIA. The project uses the DDS VFO circuit from the book, and along with a forty-9er QRP transceiver kit. The article describes modifications to the transceiver kit to replace the fixed frequency crystal oscillator with the VFO. The authors have even created at PCB and basic parts kit for the VFO that you can order from Mr. Zia via PayPal.
I started collecting the various parts necessary: Arduino Nano, Forty-9er kit, AD9850 DDS, rotary encoders, and the VFO PCB/parts kit. I also had to collect a few odds and ends for the Forty-9er modifications: 22μH inductor, 150pf capacitor, Zener diode, and some header pins. I had everything I needed to put the modified transceiver kit together over the weekend. So far everything has gone to plan. Once the VFO kit arrives, I'll get to work putting the rest of the rig together. I'm anxious and a little nervous to see if it works.
I set a goal this year to activate at least one National Park for the ARRL National Parks On The Air with QRP CW. I'm hopeful that this project will enable me to meet that goal.
