This is a three week school conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Upon completion of the course, soldiers will earn the coveted jump wings and be parachutist qualified! This course is extremely safe and boosts the confidence of all who have the opportunity to attend.
Air Assault School is held at Ft. Benning. Soldiers and cadets are trained on the types of missions performed by rotary wing aircraft, aircraft safety, aero-medical evacuation procedures, pathfinder operations, principles and techniques of combat assaults, rappelling techniques, and slingload operations.
The Mountain Warfare School is held at the Ethan Allen Firing Range, Jericho, VT. Cadets who attend this course will be instructed on how to conduct military operations in a mountainous environment.
The Northern Warfare School is conducted during the winter months at Ft. Wainwright, AK. The school teaches cadets to survive and conduct military operations in a northern environment.
Cadet Troop Leader Training provides Cadets the opportunity to experience leadership in Army units over a three to four week period. Cadets serve in Lieutenant level leadership positions in active duty units. Platoon Leader positions have a 3-4 week duration depending on the hosting unit and location. Assignments include units that are located in the States and overseas. Cadets are assigned a unit mentor, and are provided lodging and meals. This program is exclusively designed for MSIII Cadets after completion of LDAC.
Nursing students who are also Army ROTC Cadets have an opportunity for a unique summer nursing experience. The paid, three-week Nurse Summer Training Program assigns Cadets to Army hospitals throughout the U.S. and Germany.
The program introduces you to the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) and to the roles and responsibilities of an Army Nurse Corps Officer. Under the supervision of an experienced Army Nurse Corps Officer, you will obtain hands-on experience. Your one-on-one clinical experience will allow you to hone your clinical skills, develop your problem-solving techniques and become comfortable with developing your professional skills as a member of the U.S. Army Healthcare Team.

Intel just debuted a new reference design kit for IPTV set-top boxes (STBs) and media servers. However, it's what's inside that has us interested. The company has tapped Hillcrest Labs for a little motion control.
The kit will include Hillcrest's patented Freespace in-air pointing and motion control technology. By adding Freespace Motion Engine software into the Intel Media Server Reference Design (MSRD) kit, TV operators will be able to offer subscribers the ability to control a TV with "mouse-like navigation and point-and-click simplicity."
Intel's MSRD is designed for OEMs and system integrators, so they can develop Intel-based set-top boxes and media servers based on Intel's Atom processor CE5300. It includes perks such as hyperthreading, virtualization, an advanced 3D/2D graphics engine, integrated power management, and a H.264 B-picture hardware encoder. The MSRD will be available starting in April 2013, via Intel and its distribution partner Videon Central.
Hopefully, this is just the beginning. Hillcrest says that its Freespace MotionEngine software can be added to all sorts of electronic devices, from set-tops and smart TVs to game controllers, mobile handsets, PC peripherals, and more. Currently, the tech is inside LG and TCL smart TVs, as well as some of Roku's set-top boxes. Sony, Universal Electronics (UEI), SMK Electronics, Atmel, Logitech and others have also licensed the technology.
"Computers and smartphones have used motion-based, point-and-click interfaces for years because they are the most efficient way to navigate large volumes of content," said Chad Lucien, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Hillcrest Labs. "Intel has seized onto this idea for TV, and is now driving innovation for serving TV service providers. We're extremely proud that Intel has selected the Freespace MotionEngine for use in its new set-top box reference kits."
LG's Magic Motion remote uses gesture-based control, presumably via the Hillcrest technology. Read a hands-on review of that device here.

Hi, I'm Will. I built the open source Flourish PHP library, maintain Package Control for Sublime Text 2 and I work full time as an engineer at Veracross. In my spare time I hack on Noted and various open source and commercial software.
I've written a number of Sublime Text 2 packages, including the package manager Package Control, small helpers like Sublime Alignment and the full-featured Sublime SFTP plugin. See them all »
Flourish is a general-purpose, object-oriented PHP library with a focus on security, documentation, portability and compatibility.
I've given a talk about PHP security at the Boston PHP Meetup, Boston Security Meetup and at the PHP|Tek 11 unconference. The talk is a survey of PHP application security issues, with guidance about how to fix or avoid them. You can view the slides online.

"Consolidation" is a key word during this month. More than 90 percent of 17-month-olds are walking well enough that they're able to walk, squat down to pick an object up off of the floor — or stoop to play with it for a minute or so — and then pop right up again and keep on going. Just a few weeks (or maybe months) ago, your toddler couldn't walk without holding onto something, either your hand or a piece of furniture, so this agility is remarkable. This month, then, is a period of fine-tuning and combining skills.
Climbing continues to be a big thrill. Your 17-month-old demands that you let her walk up stairs, rather than be carried, though she probably needs you to hold her hand. She also wants to try climbing up onto chairs — and other pieces of furniture that are about chest height — and, once she gets up, is able to turn herself around and sit facing forward, a complex feat. (Since your toddler can get around the house quickly, and because she is constantly testing her physical abilities, consider gating potentially dangerous areas, such as staircases, and putting childproof door latches on bathroom doors and other parts of the house where exploring could get her into trouble.)
It's also common for a 17-month-old to put physical skills to use by trying to climb out of the crib. For safety's sake, adjust the crib mattress to the lowest level, and never leave the side rails down. If your child can climb out in spite of those measures, you may have to move her out of the crib and into a bed, where she won't have as far to fall when she climbs out.
If your toddler is walking and climbing with ease, she might have fun hopping — especially if you do it with her. Hold one of her hands and show her how to stand on one foot and hop up and down. This may be difficult at first, and she'll probably have to hop on two feet, but she'll have fun trying to imitate you.
If you're concerned because your toddler isn't walking, talk to your pediatrician. Some children are such good crawlers that they have no desire to stand up, others are afraid of falling, and a few children this age do have a developmental or medical problem that needs attention. In the meantime, you can encourage your 17-month-old to take steps by offering her your hands to hold while she walks, clapping whenever she stands or cruises, and putting a soft toy, such as a stuffed bear, in her hands when she stands. She may be so distracted by the toy that she takes a few steps while she's holding onto it.

This phone case came in the mail on time and properly intact. It's small enough to fit in your pocket, which was what i was looking for, while also maintaining the capacity to hold my credit card and money. The ONLY issue that i had was the magnet that kept the wallet closed. It seems they did not use a strong enough magnet and so the latch does not hold very well. The wallet opens very easily and is very frustrating to deal with. The possibility of having my money or credit cards fly out kind of scares me. If that had been fixed the wallet would've been perfect! i like the colors and the compact size. Oh well.
The case was of poor quality. It had scratches on the metal flap and does not close securely. I was very disappointed as it was a gift for my daughter.
Cheap material, one of the throw away wallet after a couple of months. Did not expect the poor quality of the material used.
I really like this case. I no longer have to carry a purse everywhere I go. I put a credit card and ID in the case and I have all I need for most circumstances. I get a lot of compliments on this case. I like it a lot better than my prior case that cost significantly more. When this wears out, I will purchase another one.
I just love my IPhone 4S wallet. I am not one for carrying a purse so this wallet does the trick! It easily slips into my pocket. I have my phone, drivers licence and credit cards all in one convenient place.

Sharp TU-T2 receiver review

Our government has become an adversarial system. We are encouraged by leaders to agree that half the country (and half of government) is made of boobs or sociopaths who have no concept of what is right.
Ok, I agree.
So how can anyone agree that such leaders as these should be the only ones empowered with weapons?
My personal view is that when those empowered to take have taken all they can get through non-violent means, they will easily rationalize their righteous entitlement to take what they want by any means available to them.
One Senator with a weapon, when she is the only one allowed that weapon, is empowered to devastate our entire nation.
What if someone with as wide an influence as Mr. King were to propose a compromise that maintained (restored) some balance of power, that protected we the many from them the few, that wasn't complicated by waivers and favors for friends of the few in power...?
Mr. King, having enjoyed your books from the start, and now your son's work, I get the impression you have the strength of character to go down with the ship rather than jump on private jets and flee if America goes really sour.
You are so very clever, couldn't you think of a third alternative that neither strips citizens of their only deterrant protection against a government nobody trusts, nor allows for tragedies you have described to occur?

A seasoned pro shows you how to remove a stuck cleanout plug to gain access to a stubborn clog in a drain line using pipe wrenches, heat and/or a hacksaw.
By the DIY experts of The Family Handyman Magazine
Snaking a clog in a drain line isn't exactly neurosurgery. Just remove the cleanout plug and ram the snake down the line. But what if you can't remove the plug?
"I see rusted-in cleanout plugs a lot in older homes with galvanized pipe," says master plumber Les Zell. He recommends investing no more than 30 minutes trying to free one. After that, go to Plan B: Cut out a whole section of pipe and replace it with new plastic piping rather than beat yourself up and possibly break fittings.
"It's much cheaper for my customers if I just hack out the old stuff rather than struggle with rusted connections for two hours," Les says.
Les Zell has been a master plumber for 25 years and runs his own plumbing business. His passion is solar heating.
Plumber "humor" "My best advice for removing a stuck cleanout plug is to apply liberal amounts of rust penetrant to the stuck cleanout fitting at least one month before the line clogs up."
Clean away any cobwebs, and shield surrounding wood with a metal baking pan. Grab a soldering torch and apply just enough heat to warm the cleanout plug and fitting. Don't get it cherry red.
Soak the cleanout plug threads with rust penetrant. Then smack opposite sides of the tee or wye fitting at the same time using two hammers. Rotate the double blows around the entire fitting. Then try using a pipe wrench again.
Slip one pipe wrench onto the fitting and the second one on the cleanout plug. Then give it all you've got. If the plug breaks loose, you're home free.
Start cleanout plug removal by applying gentle heat to the cleanout plug and fitting to soften the old pipe dope (Photo 1). If that doesn't work, wait for the pipe to cool, apply rust penetrant, and then apply double hammer blows around the fitting (Photo 2). The vibrations from the shocks break up the corrosion and allow the rust penetrant to do its work. If the plug unscrews, go ahead and snake the line. But don't reuse the metal plug. Buy a plastic plug and coat the threads with Teflon paste before installing. Then snug it up with a slip joint pliers (not the pipe wrench).
Use a reciprocating saw and a metal-cutting blade to cut out the fittings and the pipe leading to and from the cleanout wye or tee.
Slide the mission couplings onto the old pipe and slip in the new plastic fitting and repair couplings. Tighten the worm-drive clamps. Then wrap Teflon tape around the new plug and screw it into the adapter.
If the stuck cleanout plug won't budge, saw off the old section (Photo 4) and replace it with new parts. Once it's free, use the old fitting as a cutting guide to glue up a replacement wye, stub pipes and a new cleanout adapter (Photo 5). Don't mess around with steel replacement parts. Go right to black ABS or white PVC plastic fittings and pipes and join them with rubber mission couplings. Slide both couplers onto the old pipe. Hold the new pipe in place and slide the vertical coupler into place and snug it up. Then connect the horizontal coupler. Tighten both to the proper torque.
Les's Cutting Tip Saw through the horizontal pipe, but leave about 1/4 in. of the pipe uncut. Then saw off the vertical pipe. The horizontal "tab" prevents the vertical pipe from wiggling while you saw. Then finish the cut on the horizontal pipe.
Have the necessary tools for this DIY project lined up before you start—you'll save time and frustration.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy.
Avoid last-minute shopping trips by having all your materials ready ahead of time. Here's a list.

Jim Bates knows that the defense he has assembled can succeed. He's seen it — and not just in a Dove Valley practice against his team's offense, either.
"On Thursday, we got off the field seven straight times going against (the Dallas Cowboys) on the practice field," he said, referring to a period of practice in which the teams focused on third-down scenarios. "We were seven-for-seven."
But when the teams dueled in their preseason game Saturday night, the Broncos' third-down defensive magic evaporated in the steam room that was Texas Stadium. Dallas converted 10 of its 16 third-down plays, including six of eight when the clubs' first-teamers grappled in the first half. Dallas averaged 13.5 yards per play, and needed an average of six yards to gain on their first-half third-down plays.
"We get in the game, and they go 10-for-16, with a lot of third-down-and-long situations. That just adds another possession for them," Bates said.
"We have to eliminate that on third downs. But we have to do a better job on run defense, too. Our run defense has been very porous — as far as being accountable, running the scheme and not letting that run kill us."
Through two preseason games, the Broncos have allowed 334 rushing yards – an average of 167 peer game.
"The biggest thing is that we just aren't playing every down and being complete," Bates said. "We're still making too many mistakes and giving up too many big plays. We gave up seven plays for huge yardage, and it was something that can be cleaned up, but it's got to be cleaned up. Bad teams always make excuses that certain plays take you (out of the game), and we have to eliminate the bad plays. But there was a lot of good, too, a lot of positive things, and we've just got to keep improving. It's a new defense, but we have 20 days until our first game and we have to make improvement on a daily basis."
However …
"We aren't catching on as fast as we would like. There's a lot of promising things we see on the tape, there's a lot of good things happening on the practice field, but in the games, we have not played well, and we just have to get better. … We have to do a better job of coaching as far as getting basic fundamentals taught."
But as Bates said, it's better these issues rise now than in three weeks.
"Definitely," he said. "That's what preseason's all about — players getting familiar with each other and being responsible, (handling their) gap responsibilities and eliminating big plays.
"We have plenty of time — if we can just fix these holes. It has to happen on the practice field, and we have to carry it into the games, because we've had some excellent practices, but we haven't performed well, like we expected to in the games."
What do you think of the defense so far in the preseason? Sound off below …

I received these pants in black, size small. They fit like a glove and I know I will wear them at least once a week. They are cut very well and are very slimming.

I spent yesterday evening putting together next Sunday's Cephas Hour. It's a good one; wide variety of music without illogical genre shifts, superb songs from start to finish. The host could use some work, but he knows that. All too well.
Although I was primarily focusing on song selection, making the segues from one to the next smooth and then choosing my words for the banter in-between sets, my mind did occasionally wander across the country to a piano bar where BlogBash was being held. For the uninitiated (count your blessings), BlogBash is a now annual subgathering during the annual CPAC gathering of conservatives, said subgathering consisting of a self-selected few conservative bloggers who gather together to party, give each other awards and send innumerable tweets and photos of each other, far more often than not in various stages of inebriation. Not my idea of a good time, but to each their own. As to CPAC itself, Madison Rising's manager sums it up quite nicely.
There are invariably people attending such events I'd like to meet in real life. That said, such a gathering is hardly my definition of a quality meeting place. I prefer small groups, no more than three or four including myself, where everyone spends actual time talking with and getting to know each other. And everyone in attendance is sober. Most preferable is one on one, and not the schmoozing kind where you're greeting whoever you are currently speaking with while simultaneously bobbing up and down to look over their shoulder so you can see if there is someone else in the room with whom you'd rather converse. Genuine one on one, with both people sharing, caring and making a meaningful connection having nothing to do with mutual career advancement.
It warrants mention that I am far, far more likely to be the next cover story for GQ than be granted admittance to a BlogBash or variation thereof. Doubtless this is all my fault, and if I were the organizers of such events I wouldn't let me near the place either. Too outspoken; too willing to cross swords and otherwise be an irreverent loose cannon. Also, a champion go along to get along type with charter membership in the mutual admiration society I am not. I truly suck at sucking up. Much more the type who has burned, if not outright dynamited, several bridges behind me over the decades.
Age hopefully brings wisdom. I do my best to be far more circumspect these days, trading a tradition of truculence for a more taciturn approach. Getting far too old for the angry young man shtick, which is nothing more than self-righteousness pretending to be a holy crusade. However, when it presses on me that something need be said, it is said. I may be more particular these days when choosing which hill to die on, but when it is called for my action plan and attitude toward same mirrors that of Esther: if I perish, I perish. The truth, in all its forms, is what matters. Me, not so much.
So many things are of infinitely greater importance than handheld mirror-rooted love feasts or Twitterati internecine warfare. A brutal reminder of this came a few days ago, when a woman I know on Twitter suffered the unspeakable horror of her daughter being killed in a car accident, the daughter leaving behind a young son. I, as do all in the unfortunate fellowship, know from personal experience the heartache of burying your parents and a sibling. Yet even as deeply as these moments hurt, they are expected events. Every child knows and reluctantly accepts that one day they will say goodbye on this earth to their parents. No parent, save in their worst nightmare, contemplates having to say goodbye to their child. For this blinding pain there can be no preparation. For those hit by such a tragedy there must be nothing but love and prayerful support.
Praying properly for others requires proper preparation. I am reminded of Pope Francis I and his introduction to the world; a quiet, humble man of faith and service whose first words to the people were a request for prayer. This is someone to emulate; this is someone setting an example via deeds and not words. This is also someone who incurred harsh criticism for remaining seemingly mute when Argentina was suffering under a repressive regime, it being revealed only years later that he had personally saved more than a few lives from his country's then government at no small risk to his own. Again, deeds not words. Performance, not PR. Not a man who toots his own horn.
Far too often, an individual or group's deeds are rendered impotent by the selfsame individual or group's words. A prime example of this is when combating someone, or an alliance, that is both desirous to do harm in some fashion and feeds on attention. Certainly one must do what need be done to protect him or herself plus family and friends. That said, if the temptation of seeking sympathy by broadcasting your situation to the world is too great to resist you are immediately removing yourself from doing what is right, instead depositing yourself into a game of liar's dice for a prize of fool's gold. Recognition vampires will do anything necessary to get their name out there. Do not offer them your neck to bite by sticking it out while looking for your own recognition. Do these things privately. Do not so much as publicly breathe the name or names of the opposition. Do not acknowledge its existence. Quietly pursue justice. Any other course of action will make it that much more difficult to achieve.
Sadly, even as there are those who live to be noticed others live to be part of the Perpetual Sissyhood of Daily Martyrdom. Why? Some enjoy the sympathy, others how this makes for a marvelous fundraiser. For some, both. Bank account running low? Poke the hornets nest, call forth the cash cow… er, bogeyman and cue up "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me." Works every time. Regrettably, to this group BlogBash was dedicated along with running the show.
An event such as BlogBash could prove valuable if it led to greater networking, encouragement and support for all bloggers, not solely those in attendance. This is not the case. Instead, BlogBash is Purina Ego Chow for petty little people on either side of the battlefield. The pathetic left uses it as a whipping boy for all they say is wrong with the right, while the self-absorbed right uses it as a way to say who's in and who's out among a little co-ed frat house blissfully ignorant of how no one outside its own circle knows it exists. Everyone is a misunderstood champion; everyone is a heroic victim of the other side. And everyone is shocked to learn none of it matters.
They ought not to be.
So much of life is lived only when we take the blows that come our way without alibi or fanfare. We will all experience genuine sorrow, the kind that can be effectively handled by no means other than becoming acquainted with the Man of Sorrows, the One acquainted with grief. We do not need sponsors, donations or high school cliques created by equally high school-ish drama queens. These are meaningless and will depart as quickly as they came, leaving behind no legacy other than a monument to folly. Even as only starving the attention seekers while working without notice to thwart their plans effectively counters their evil, only surrender to Jesus' love and emulation of His service to others builds an enduring testimony to something worthwhile. BlogBash doesn't qualify.
Therefore, let BlogBash go bye-bye.

London's calling Murrayville markswoman Dorothy Ludwig.
The 33-year-old wife and mom is also, officially, an Olympian, after a strong showing in women's 10-metre air pistol at the Canadian Olympic Trials in Calgary March 18.
Ludwig beat out her sister (Calgary's Lynda Kiejko) as well as Edmonton's Lea Wachowich for the coveted individual spot at the London 2012 Olympic Games in July.
In air pistol shooting, each competitor fires off 40 shots in an hour and 15 minutes, aiming for a bulls-eye. The best score you can achieve is 400, which Ludwig doesn't believe has ever been attained by a pistol shooter.
Ludwig shot a 372 ("although not my best," she said) and went into the finals four points ahead of the second place competitor.
In the finals, each shooter gets 10 shots, and has 75 seconds to fire off each individual shot.
Kiejko held second place and Wachowich was in third, and after the 10 shots of finals were completed, Ludwig ended up just two points clear of her sister.
After sneaking a peek at Kiejko's screen, Ludwig realized her sister wasn't able to make up enough points to beat her.
"I knew then," Ludwig said. There was a bittersweet taste to Ludwig's victory, knowing that she had edged out her sister for the spot.
"It's definitely hard to know that, we've both been working at this for such a long time, and only one of us gets to go," Ludwig said. "It was nice going into the finals and knowing that one of us is going [to the Olympics] but at the same time it's hard to know that one of us isn't going."
Ludwig said Kiejko was happy for her.
"She was definitely a bit emotional, out of joy [for me] and not out of sorrow," Ludwig shared. "That started to get me choked up."
Qualifying for the Olympics came with a personal price.
In order to win the quota spot for Canada, Ludwig had to leave her infant son for four days.
"Considering that the only other time I had been separated from him was a few hours, this was very difficult for me," Ludwig said.
On top of that, any training Ludwig did had to be at night after her son had gone to bed, and if her husband Cam wasn't available, she had to hire a babysitter.
This will be the first Olympic experience for Ludwig, who won the quota spot for Canada at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, in October of 2011.
In Guadalajara, Ludwig captured gold, securing a spot for Canada in London.
Competing for her country at the Olympics is a goal Ludwig has been "shooting" for the past decade and more.
In 2002, when she went to the Commonwealth Games in Manchester England, Ludwig realized that she might actually be able to make it to the Olympic stage.
Up until the Olympic qualifier, Ludwig's shining shooting moment came at those aforementioned games in Manchester, England, where she won individual silver, as well as team gold along with partner Kim Eagles.
"So I have spent 10 of those 20 years striving for a place at the Olympics," she said.
Ludwig said the Pan American and Commonwealth Games are different from the Olympics because there are always countries excluded from those events.
"It's hard to use those as markers but it does build confidence knowing, 'Well, I beat this part of the world, and I beat that part of the world,' so add in the rest and we'll see how it ends up," Ludwig said with a laugh.
She'll be a second generation Olympian.
Her father, Bill Hare, went to the Olympics as an athlete in shooting in 1964, '68, and '72.
When Hare retired from competitive shooting, he started a juniors program and asked his two daughters if they wanted to be a part of it.
"We did and here we are!" Ludwig said.
Hare passed away in 2005.
"His memory is a very emotional one for me, so I try not to think about it too much while I'm shooting, but definitely when I won that spot into the Olympics, it made a significant impact knowing that he went to three Olympics," Ludwig said.
"He probably saw this goal for me quite a bit sooner than I ever saw it for myself."
A one-day event, women's 10m air pistol is being held July 29 at the Royal Artillery Barracks.
Once in London, Ludwig's goals are simple, she said: "do my best, enjoy the experience, and put my training to the test. I've worked hard for a long time, and I'm going to keep working hard, but I am also going to enjoy this accomplishment."
Ludwig's primary goal was just to make it to the Olympics.
"If I came home with a medal, that would be icing on the cake," she said. "If I made finals, like came into the top eight, I would be ecstatic."
Take away the Pan Am Games, and Ludwig didn't compete internationally last year, so she's unsure of what her competition will be like once the Olympics roll around.
Since she's been off the international grid after the birth of her son, Ludwig doesn't know how she stacks up against the rest of the world.
"China is often up there, and the Australian girls are usually good-" she said.
"I don't even know who's exactly going to the Olympics. It's hard to predict an outcome but I know I'm going up against the top [shooters] in the world."
Ludwig hopes to be joined in London by her husband and her mom.
There's also a possibility that Kiejko may join her sister as support staff.
"We've applied for that and we're just waiting to find out," Ludwig said. "That's something we agreed upon as we were going into the [qualifying] competition. No matter what happens, we were supporting one another, cheering for one another, and still doing our best in order to win it for ourselves."
Ludwig will be taking in the opening ceremonies, describing the Olympics as, "being a part of something that brings the entire world together in a common goal and purpose."
"The Olympics is more than just a conglomeration of sporting events, it's people and countries and communities coming together to build something memorable and wonderful together," Ludwig added. "And I get to be a part of it- what a great gift."

This work evaluated responsiveness of the method to "good" vs. "poor" wetland condition, ability to represent a range of conditions, internal redundancy, alternative combination rules for constituent metrics, and reproducibility of results. The use of existing avian diversity, benthic macroinvertebrate indices, and plant community composition datasets as validation of CRAM results demonstrated. Results indicate that CRAM is an effective tool for assessing general riverine and estuarine wetland condition based on its correspondence with multiple independent assessments of condition. This study demonstrates that, when validated, rapid assessment methods provide a meaningful and reliable tool for assessing wetland condition. | |

ROSEBUD- A Central Texas police officer was fired Monday and could be in more hot water.
The Rosebud Police Officer was fired for working outside city limits against orders. It's a rule he had reportedly broken multiple times.
On Saturday, the officer reportedly tried to take down a controversial speed trap sign along Highway 77 put up by some residents to warn drivers.
The signs were first put up that Friday as way for Rosebud Signs owner Bobby Bailey to combat what he thought was a police department giving out too many tickets. Rosebud residents helped pitch in and pay for the signs.
"The city was trying to more or less turn the town into a little evil town," Bailey said. "We want it to be like nice little Rosebud Texas, like it's always been."
The officer got into a heated exchange with one of those residents who helped Bailey with the signs.
"He told me the sign was impeding traffic," John Borden, Rosebud resident, said.
Rosebud Police Chief Kenneth Proctor confirmed the incident.
"Evidently he confronted one of the owners there, or who put the sign up, and asked him to remove the sign," Proctor explained.
The sign was on private property and outside the city limits. Chief Proctor said the confrontation about the sign was not the reason for the firing.
The officer is planning to appeal his firing, but it will be up to the Falls County District Attorney's office to file any criminal charges.
Chief proctor also said while he doesn't think his city is a speed trap, and has cut down on giving out tickets, he's in favor of the signs.
News Channel 25 talked to that fired officer Monday night on the phone, he said he was directed by a supervisor to either ticket or arrest the people responsible for the signs. He thought taking it down would cause the least problems.
More signs may be put up on Highway 53, coming from Temple into Rosebud, in order to warn more drivers. Lights also may be added to the current signs so that drivers at night can see them.

iTunes Store Download
Hi All.
I'm currently in the US of A, and whilst here bought a film through the iTunes store on my Mac. I'm from the UK and so the account was set up in the UK and the film paid for in British Pounds. The film arrived at my account, ready for downloading. The Mrs. back in the UK has her computer authorised, so she has successfully downloaded the film. I, however, can not seem to download it - I keep getting various error messages? A similar thing is happening with an album I bought in the same manner - although, the album i bought through my iPad - again in £s. I can download the songs onto my laptop no trouble, but I can't download the LP that comes with the album. Help? |
